Obviously we're a long ways (if ever) from having such theaters available widely enough to be more then location tourist attractions, but VR will almost certainly eventually make such video accessible for home viewing as well. And the march of tech will undoubtedly eventually bring down camera costs to "very high" vs "stratospheric one of a kind high", and in turn mean more works get made with it.

So from an artistic point of view, I'm a little curious long term what film makers might come up with when they get a format where it's impossible to see it all in one go. I mean yes, lots of the best films reward multiple viewings and as a practical matter it can be very hard to notice little details the first time around. Same thing for that matter with static images. But still, you can physically see everything there at once, if multiple people watch it everyone sees the same thing. Whereas in a sphere format with the work exceeds your physical field of view it'll be truly impossible to experience all of the film in a single go no matter how closely you pay attention.

While it'd be very challenging to use well and I'm sure a lot of the format will be documentary type of stuff, nevertheless it seems likely there will be works eventually that really lean into it and they'll genuinely offer different experiences in the same work depending on where you choose to focus. A medium that has already long done this in a way is video games, where it's not at all uncommon for there to be games that offer multiple mutually exclusive paths; picking one means you will not ever see certain content in that run. That can be cheap sometimes, but can also used by a creative producer/writer in interesting ways. Will open a new dimension for film making perhaps.
I believe parent is referring to design at the PCBA level, where this is mostly true outside of military/government designers who lag.

The reality in that sphere is there is little reason to limit oneself to the constraint of expertise in analog circuit designs when one can achieve the same functional outcome digitally, and use those skills more broadly.

Only where component sourcing is artificially limited, or risks of digital operation sufficiently large, and where the job market will support it, does it make sense to proceed in growing in analog circuit design expertise.

Meanwhile these designs are nearly all being functionally lapped by those in general industry, which participates in all the accelerating gains of digital technologies.

This isn’t going to be a popular take, but this is just wrong.

Developers will often plan out a cathedral when what’s needed is a garage. Usually this is due to a misunderstanding of the requirements, or an inability of the requestor to formulate or express them. Also, developers are notoriously bad at forecasting work product and the numbers they deliver usually have a tenuous link to reality.

The conversation that starts with “We don’t have 6 months, how do we deliver this by 12/31?” is ultimately a hashing out of what the requirements are. When it’s a cool tech driven story, we call it “an MVP”. When it’s driven by the business, the author considers it yelling at the weatherman.

I’ve seen what happens many times when the abstraction fails, and people don’t understand the guts. The people who know the abstraction replace it with something based in the concrete, but without the middle layer, and which resembles the abstraction.

The abstraction becomes real.
It's fantastic that you enjoy tackling challenging integrals, especially as you embark on your master's in physics! To master advanced techniques, consider exploring resources like "Advanced Calculus" by Patrick M. Fitzpatrick, or delving into specific areas like contour integration for complex analysis.

Yeah that's definitely the way to go if there's already a helm chart. If it's just raw manifests I'd rather convert to HCL than build a helm chart to feed into TF, but that's just because I know TF better, most of my configuration is already there, so I'd prefer to keep abstraction boundaries small. But it's nice to have the options.

> What I’ve also noticed is that, while I understand a lot more about what the CPU is doing, memory manipulation and how to write more efficient programs, I haven’t found it be particularly beneficial to my daily work

I think this is because of the effect OP is describing: no matter how much time you spent studying, the odds that you learned about the specific thing that will make the difference in your work this week are slim because the technology is so broad and deep. Odds are that what you choose to intentionally study is irrelevant to your work.

You've picked a slice to learn about, but those who were working on it as it got layered know it all. Once you have that kind of knowledge, the odds of being able to explain some unexpected behavior approach 100%, but acquiring that knowledge took decades.

I've found a method that does work pretty well is to dig really deep into the topics that come up in your actual work. Instead of a random sample of fundamentals, find the parts of your job that feel like magic and explain that magic. Skipping over V8 and straight to the CPU might not be useful for a JavaScript dev very often, but a deep understanding of V8 is relevant more often than you might think.
Same here. Most that I saw said either on the very first story that they were reporting what Gaza officials were claiming or added that in an update a short time later.

That's how breaking news works. First stories report what people on the scene are claiming (Gaza officials in this case), which is often incomplete, and then update as more information comes in.

For people who regularly read a given set of news sites that works well. Pick a few that have different political leanings and read them fairly consistently and you'll get a decent picture of what's going on.

For people who just get their news by whatever tweets (or whatever they are called now on X) they see in the feed (in many cases just going by the content of the tweet itself instead of clicking the link to read the article at the source) it is not going to work so well.

As a systems administrator who has been doing this for a while, I can attest to this becoming more and more of a problem.

I've worked with CUDA programmers who weren't aware of what "architecture" means in the context of computing until I asked them to consider running binary code meant for NVIDIA on AMD GPUs.

I've worked with network administrators who couldn't conceive of the simple math behind something like single IP, 64k ports and approximate memory per entry in a NAT state table to figure out that it's actually not impossible to have NAT states that persist indefinitely.

I've worked with people to whom I've had to explain that bits are bits, and just as in the audiophile world where there's a huge amount of money and energy spent to try to convince people that pricey bits are somehow better than cheap bits, so unless you process them differently, they're bits and are exactly the same.

There's this tendency to believe and follow trends, even when there'e ample evidence of how these trends aren't much more than marketing fluff and more often than not lead to dead ends. It's fine if others want to believe the marketing fluff, but when they want me to change my workload to support something because it's "all the rage", I have to put it in terms they understand ("You love Go? Great. Now what if I told you to use Rust because it's all the rage, and I expect you to rewrite everything in Rust?")

It's unfortunate that students aren't taught more history of computing. If they were, they'd likely learn that computing is computing, and that things don't really change that much, and that if you make and use things that aren't different for gratuitous reasons, they'll still be around and relevant years from now.

Is this fully faithful to the original in terms of puzzles? From what I remember the puzzles are pretty outdated, but it’s been a while since I’ve played it.
I have worked with interns and young devs just out of school who are sharp as tacks. I had an intern a few years ago, the first task we paired on was to figure out why our MySql connections from Qt were misbehaving. We stepped through the application code, the Qt code, found where it was failing, and ended up backporting a Qt patch from upstream to fix it. Yes, I gave him some guidance, but once he caught on he was able to navigate this complex mess of C++ code across a few technology stacks and effectively reason about it and make changes.

A lot of CS skills are generalizable. Knowledge is one component you pick up with time. A good education, self-taught or otherwise, should allow you to drop into any sort of code and be effective without much spin-up. College covers CPU architecture, assembly, networking, operating systems, web, algorithms. This is not esoteric stuff, it is very standard and you can get it all in class or from textbooks free online!

If you believe that's a negative and that belief colors your behavior, it might explain an out-the-door trajectory.

Nobody wants to work with a coworker who finds all the dirty work that the team needs to do beneath them.

Take it as a positive and it becomes an opportunity to lead by example. Good luck.
If I google images search "a mexican person", 18/23 are wearing sombreros. If the dataset used to train the model also looks like that, then obviously the trained model will give you someone wearing a sombrero.
I agree. Rule of law is critical and requires consistency. But given the choice I'd rather live in a jurisdiction where law enforcement tends to use their discretion in favor of less rather than more centralized control. That bias towards less control seems to be inversely correlated with population density.
I'm waiting patiently until the academic studies on COVID response vs. what happens next. Assuming the actual rules got wound back fairly quickly, we've got a really interesting natural experiment on the go into what real medium-term business confidence looks like when governments roll in and shut things down unexpectedly.

I boggled over this particular obvious problem for years.

But I don't recall Firefox ever being hardcore security and privacy (even though some of their techies are). For Mozilla, that's a fairly recent positioning that they're growing into.

Initially, there was competition to be the most popular browser.

But most of the history is a constant movement towards having the browser facilitate what companies wanted to do towards users (moving away from the "user agent" as an agent of the user).

In parallel, Google paying Mozilla for placement, and then possibly to keep a nominal competitor alive.

In recent years, Mozilla has been positioning itself as one of the champions for Internet freedom, and I assume that some of their people were that all along (e.g., the kind who could've gone to Google, but chose to work for much less money at Mozilla). Though I don't know how genuine that sentiment is from the top, when leadership draws huge compensation, for poor performance, while laying off techies. (Techies traditionally have lead Internet freedom, from the ground, up, and leadership might be better thought of as a humble support system for that.)
Flask was a joke it really got out of hand
I totally relate to your point of view and experience. I'm so happy to ignore all the software related to the attention economy. What I find left over is the computing environment that I dreamt of when I was 12. I marvel that it took a whole generation of man hours to get to this point.

I think we are real inflection point between an analog world and a digital world. I also think that the Bronze Age never went away and analog techniques will just develop into craftsmanship.

I haven't posted a link to these Autonetics parts in while so I will do so again.

What I love about Autonetics is that they were solving the inertial guidance problem in whatever computing form they could get a hold of.

I'm working on a proper website but the images linked here represent the inertial guidance problem being solved with discrete components arranged in circuits and later those circuits integrated in silicon.

This is the problem I have at the moment as well:

Company Leadership asks for estimate with barely any information, I will then say that I need to learn more about the project and look into the codebase, leadership then says that they "just" need to have an estimate to approve this work and if they want to do this project at all. Around and around it goes until I give them a large estimate (which is large because of all the unknowns including the unknown scope) which is then too much and too expensive for leadership.
Isn’t sales a numbers game for the most part? Like you can convert 10% of leads, so if I need 5 conversions instead of 4, I need to call ~10 more people?

A better comparison to software I think would be construction of a novel building. Try constructing a geodesic dome house with no experience, and little knowledge of the issues you might run into, but then you’re asked for accurate estimates and then pressured to shorten them.
It does matter if you run your ML models in production. After we upgraded to 3.12 the average response time ~4-6ms decreased to stable sub 2ms. Latency decrease for p95 and p99 were even more significant

I'm not really a free software absolutist, but I do think it's worth putting my money where my mouth is sometimes, so I run a Raptor Blackbird (you could put one together for less than $3000). Raptor systems are still the fastest zero blob computers you can buy.

It's a bit sad to see such a well paid demographic (software engineers) completely disinterested in making any cost/speed/freedoms tradeoffs here.

Don't forget us over in hpc and embedded! What are these web things, and why do have stacks of them? But more seriously, I'm a very experienced systems programmer but I like stuff like eframe and trunk because it lets me serve up a gui I write in rust like it was a native app as a wasm page without having to know anything at all about web stuff or how many stacks to put the web thingies in. Perhaps someday the wasi will bypass all the js and html deep magic I don't understand, but not yet.

I rarely do any of that, usually my abstractions are container layers, a libc, and then a kernel between me and registers and dma. But that is a lot more layers than you'd think. I can't even understand the boot process on a modern machine with tpm. And i have no clue how many processors or controllers are in my computer. Every usb controller has an entire arm core in it, mice and keyboards have 8051 running c-ish code someone somewhere wrote, there is no bottom to the complexity.
The position of the Attorney General in KS. While usually they do ask in order to preserve peace, the state doesn't feel they are required to.

> We believe the duty enjoined upon the appraiser to value real
property from an actual view and inspection of the property
carries with it the implied authority for the appraiser to enter
upon real property to perform this duty, without such action
constituting a trespass. However, we also believe that all
persons, perhaps especially governmental officers, owe a duty
to preserve the public peace. Therefore, it is our opinion
that for the limited purpose of appraising a taxpayer's real
property and the improvements made thereon, by actual view and
inspection, an appraiser may enter upon such property, at a
reasonable time, without the prior permission of the taxpayer.
> Why wouldn't a similar Marshall plan exist in a post-WW3 world? Wars don't affect all areas equally, and don't kill everybody.

Agree, but the Marshall plan only worked because it's provider (the US) was essentially unaffected by the war and had money to burn. I can't see that a war that killed billions wouldn't damage the superpowers, who would be the primary providers of post-war aid.
US v Causby is one of the few rulings in this area and it was 83 ft (Causby won)

General property rights are 500 ft in uncongested airspace and 1000 ft in congested areas, but case law is vague.

In this particular instance, I would be much more interested if the overflight was legal to maintain compliance in response to the original judicial ruling.

They could order 6 inch resolution satellite photos or even better from companies like Maxar and Airbus, too.
I agree, but a lot of big companies are all in on Agile and you (as a developer) don't really get a lot of say on the matter.

Some high-paid consultants got paid a lot of money to sell it to the CEO, who then mandates it....so we are stuck with it ...until those same consultants have some other methodology-du-jour to sell.
There’s a consistent belief here that Programming Isn’t Like Other Work™ and that you can’t estimate it, it’s so mentally taxing that you can’t do it for more than a few minutes at a time in complete silence, and that it’s closer to Da Vinci sculpting the Sistine Chapel than kludging together a few APIs.

It’s fun to think you’re special and easy to do when you’re paid a shitload of money.
This is timely. My partner and I have been watching the Saw movies, and we use the term "pigging" to mean "abducting" (as abductors wear pig masks in the series). Everytime someone is abducted we say they're "getting pigged".

What an amazing example of this common knee-jerk playing-the-victim reaction to anything that discusses Israel without fawning. The article was describing the IDF doing something novel and clever, yet you're "infuriated" by what? It not repeating some mantra about how the action was definitely certainly most positively justified?

Lest you misunderstand where I'm coming from - brutally attacking and slaughtering a civilian music festival is unequivocally evil. And Israel readily turning off civilian water and power infrastructure for collective punishment is also evil. There is no shortage of evils on both sides, and whitewashing this for either side ultimately just helps perpetuate the whole terrible situation.
We’re actually mainly focused on automations more than testing. We want to build autotab into your intern/assistant for browser-based tasks that you would rather have someone else do.

For example, autotab helped a designer automate client handoffs. He set up an automation that exported assets from Figma and uploaded them to Google Drive, updated his CRM and notified the client.
