OSI is an entire networking stack designed by committee that died from disuse [1]. The only thing we now remember of it are the functional layers within the protocol.

For example, people sometimes refer to TCP as a "Layer 4" protocol even though (a) TCP predates the invention of Layer 4 and (b) TCP is a square peg that does not exactly fit into the round hole that is Layer 4.

In the case of slavery, my disdain for god is exactly equal to the disdain that I would have for any thinking, sentient being that condones owning other thinking, sentient beings as property. Please don't misrepresent what I'm saying as being generally hostile to god.

This is exaggerated to the point that I consider it fiction. BTW Google doesn't substantially use gRPC within their datacenters.

The industry has always been this way. Back in the day there were many many processor ISAs that are now consolidated. There was been many networking standards that consolidated (IPX/SPX anyone?) New things often diverge because of new requirements not out of spite. There is a push and pull between standardization and innovation. Doesn't make it particularly unhealthy unless you can point to specific metrics and compare trends throughout the long arc of time.

You're asking me to believe that this man feels a certain way and committed a racist murder based on a general tendency? Even if I grant you the ridiculous premise that this tendency is real, that line of thinking isn't close to sound.

I see I'm getting downvoted here by the typical good dogs, but this has always bothered me about the incident. The racism was presented to us by the media with no explanation, and most people just took it to be fact. No curiosity, no convincing required. I've asked several people, nobody is able to make a case that's even remotely compelling, similar to how you failed to do it here.

I feel my comment is slightly misunderstood. I don't mean to say that strictly memorization is the path to mathematical understanding.

Besides brushing up on my math, starting from simple arithmetic, In my spare time I also study Japanese. And one of the things that has helped me the most in my fluency and understanding has been the memorization of vocabulary and of grammar patterns and their usage.

Of course, I read materials at my own level and listen to material at my level and above and practice writing. However, I noticed the biggest boost in my comprehension after I memorize a large amount of words or really internalize grammar patterns. And I do this mainly through flashcards.

I have to spend much less mental energy to catch on to what is being expressed allowing me the ability to potentially comprehend more.

And analogously to my language studies, I would like to approach math in a similar fashion.

I really enjoy Stephenson novels, and Three Body Problem seemed pretty popular around here. But I really disliked the Three Body Problem (I only read the first book). I think this might be my own fault, because I had convinced myself this book was the same story as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremis_(Doctor_Who) but in the end it wasn't, and I felt the story would have been so much better if it was.
I'm working on an internal pricing service that interacts with Azure. I'm not looking to use this service since I certainly would not want to create yet another external dependency, but will agree that pricing can be complex. For example, I was a bit shocked that there are over 450,000 individual things that Azure can charge you for.

I can see merits to this. A pet topic of study of mine is of the Donner Party expedition. A thing scholars of this interesting historical episode have noted is this is a very good example of the human body being stretched to its absolute limit of endurance with a decent sample size exposed to relatively similar conditions. Interestingly, a decent majority of the survivors were young women. It’s been theorized that they were better able to metabolize and make use of their fat stores than the men, due to their lower metabolic rate, and many firsthand accounts demonstrated that they exhausted less quickly.
Oh, I was hoping this would be something built more directly over Ethernet, rather than on top of UDP/IP (if I'm understanding the layer diagram correctly).

I've been working with Ethernet devices a lot lately, using the network as a communication bus, essentially. I find that there's a lot of complexity that we simply don't need: ARP, DHCP, DNS... So many points of failure. We know all the devices on our LAN and their unique MAC addresses, and could do everything we need to addressing-wise at Layer 2. But everything's built on Layer 3 and up, so we're effectively working backward to map devices to IP addresses and vice versa. It's unsatisfying.
That is incorrect :-).

It's been a while since I spun up Logseq—are you able to use it collaboratively?

This is a great point. There have already been scandals in the past where oppressive regimes offered Twitter employees bribes to expose the people behind certain accounts so that they could be tortured or killed. This will make that existing risk even greater. Musk's cosiness with dictatorships makes the threat even worse. I would never trust this version of Twitter with my real identity or payment information, and hope people in precarious positions know not to as well.
For local energy usage, Japan relies 95% of oil on mideast. It's the primary reason of trade deficit. It's critical if they stopped export. It must be more vulnerable than electricity usage, since solar panels, wind turbines, dam, nuclear, and batteries will continue working even after China stopped all exports.

For local manufacturing, Japan relies rare metals on China. It's vulnerable for EV manufacturers.

A friend of mine convinced me this was the FB strategy to get people to resign instead of needing to fire them (a costly, legal.minefield).

As a founder, the act of paralizying the company to effectively "bleed the fat off the bone" while cost effective, is insane. Because nothing gets done during those low morale months. I refused to believe this could be a valid strategy.

Then I was countered with: this org is already not shipping features or anything customers want anyway, so its not like it has any productivity to lose. Then proceeded to name Twitter as exhibit A of the argument.

I could not retort to that.

> A Picasso takes no land.

Buying stuff that people make enriches those people and spreads the wealth around. It's good to encourage doing that rather than hoarding land. (While you can hoard individual old paintings, if you drive up the price of paintings then new and innovative painters - like Picasso - emerge, and produce new paintings to meet that demand).

> Elons giga factory would pay no land tax because the land vale is zero. It is in the middle of the desert surrounded by employ land that nobody wants.

Which is exactly where we want giant factories being built.
Impression I get is that the fundamentals work okay -- which is a huge accomplishment in and of itself -- but there are still enough edge cases that scaling up is hard, and opening up a new city takes substantial effort.

Videos that show up on the r/self drivingcars subredddit show increasing fluency/confidence in driving from Waymo. But there's always going to be socially weird situations in cities where the answer is to benignly break the law, and it's not clear how well SDC's will ever do with those.
Wait I thought reddit prohibits using personal API on third party client, that's one of main complain of the protest. Otherwise 3PA will still be running around just with asking each user for their API keys. Of course there are ways to circumvent that (cough, revanced, cough) but of course it's not official and your api key may suddenly be blocked.
Logseq is definitely worth a try just to run the operations through your fingers, and it's amazing for some people - but after roughly a year and a half, I'm about at the point of picking up the two or three things I really like about logseq and porting them back to emacs and plain-ish markdown. (For most people that would just be "use org-mode" but I've bounced off of it a couple of times already and only want a few simple features...)
I agree. You have to do the test that really relates to what you are looking for.

For backend web devs I'm hiring I established a modified version of a process that has worked for me well before:

1. Interact with a RESTA api and solve the problem by doing cURL requests and some lightweight string mangling and computation to generate key. Then submit the result with your BASE64 code in the request.

Your code is analyzed with ts-node (I look for TypeScript devs) and we check the validity of your generated key.

On success I get an email with the person info and the code. To follow up.

I give the url of the challenge to anyone whom I get their CV and seem interesting for the position. A lot of people disqualify themselves because they dont know a REST endpoint needs the correct content headers, or dont know how to send Auth Bearer token, etc.

Then I see the code, and if I like it, i send them a link to self book a 90hr interview. 30/50 mins are to talk about their experience, resumé in hand, and the rest is to make a version of the server to process the requests from the client they submitted. The problem is common knowledge for both of us, its basically what tgey will be doing, and it allows me to vouch for how they code. Mind, I dont care if we dont finish it, I just want to see if we can solve a problem together with the candidate driving.

And that's it. At the end of the interview I can tell them if I'm going to make them an offer .

I try to do interviews the way I'd like to be interviewed. I hate tech interviews, its stressful and seems pointless sometimes. Why would I do that to people who will be my peers? Bad taste.
I was only maybe 9 when my dad brought home an Apple II, but I grew up on that machine. It was a completely maxed out Apple II. Upgraded to a II+, Z/80 softcard, 16k language card, 80 column card, enhanced keyboard, modem, dual disk II drives, etc. I had a ton of software, both purchased and acquired through other means.

If there was a native WordStar for the Apple II, I find it hard to believe it would have escaped my notice. I certainly would have remembered it. None of the other commenters here recollect it either. No trace of it can be found on any Apple II archives on the net.

WordStar was semi-famous for being the reason people bought the Z/80 softcard (that and dBase). I know it's the only reason my Apple II had a Z/80 card in it. If there were a native Apple II WordStar, they'd have been little reason to buy that card for many people.

No mention of it here which also cites de Jong and Barnaby:

https://www.wordstar.org/index.php/wordstar-history

Here's a 1983 article about running WordStar on an Apple II: "WordStar requires a Z80 SoftCard"

https://www.atarimagazines.com/creative/v9n3/81_Word_process...

So maybe it existed but if so, I don't believe it ever saw the light of day. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Sure, but it's not like fossil fuels are the only way to power transport, although they're certainly the easiest way at present thanks to all the existing plant & infrastructure.
Part of the way this problem is solved is addressed by the article:

- overbuild renewables

- connect grids together

If regional grids are connected together, then excess capacity in one region can be used by another. You don’t have to store your own electricity for later if you your neighbour can sell you their excess.

Well, I cannot think of proper cyberpunk now, but I found The Windup Girl to be good in both world-building but also an oddly satisfying finale. It does lose some steam for some of the story arcs though (the titular windup girl is the least interesting character, in my opinion!).

Also, the Murderbot series is pretty solid (note: it's a single story arc misleadingly sold as separate short books; don't fall for it). It's not awe inspiring but it's fun throughout the whole deal. More about action than big ideas though.

I think cyberpunk is possibly more suitable for short stories than full fledged novels? I like Gibson's stories more than his novels.

I thought of another example of a cyberpunk-adjacent work that is all setup/interesting world and disappointing payoff: Altered Carbon. At least the show, anyway.

Sure women probably hunted, but claiming there is no evidence for a "sex-based division of labor" is hogwash. Some hunted the same game as men, some probably other prey. Some probably gathered food depending on their child status and physical capabilities. The article focuses much on the advantages women are provided due to estrogen. Sure for some activities (like child rearing) and general health the female hormones make sense. But, I have yet to see any athlete in any sport (including ultra marathon) taking estrogen for an advantage. Willing to be proven wrong.

Twitter introduces $1/year change for new users
A highly regarded quant analyst once interviewed me and could not understand why I took a powered motorcycle in for my (early morning) 11-mile commute to work. "You spend 30% less time on your commute, but you increase your injury risk by 30x" he said. "It doesn't make sense - your risk/reward is illogical".

He hadn't considered the superlinear returns attributable to being "first", a point made in the article ('thresholds'). By being 20 minutes earlier into work than others on average, I was also inevitably better prepared for the high-pressure morning meeting than anyone else.

Didn't get (that) job.
