Huh, it's even crazier to think that one of the earliest form of writing the Indus scripts produced by one of the world's earliest civilizations has not been deciphered yet until now even tough it's has been proven statistically to represent a viable human language not just random scripts [1]. It's unacceptable that with all the technology advancements including AI we still cannot decipher these ancient written Indus scripts.

No, it's "5V is easy. Anything above that is not."

For obvious reasons. Almost everything can tolerate 5V. Very few things can tolerate 9V and above.

Consequently, you need a complicated dance in order to ensure that everybody agrees before jamming 9V, 15V or 20V down the pipe. That dance has enough complexity that effectively everybody uses a full-blown Cortex M0 with a couple of purpose built analog blocks to carry it out.

A classic philosophical question is "why is there something rather nothing?" The follow up question "why is there something but not everything?" is the domain of physics. If the universe is computable, then there is a program in any model of computation that reproduces our observed physics. Why is one model of computation (Wolfram's) considered deeper or more fundamental than another (Turing machine)? Is it more useful because it is easier or more natural to encode the known laws of symmetry in the "program"? There seems to be a lot of theories of everything that have the issue of predicting a lot more than we can possibly observe, where everything we consider real physics is a small point in a massive parameter space. Be its string theory with its landscape of vacua, or flavors of inflation, or many worlds. Our universe in the theory is underdetermined. Somewhere in the parameter space is our observed universe but also a lot of dream worlds sitting side-by-side inaccessible to us. Some take it as deep and profound insight but I am skeptical that it is in the spirit of physics. I think deeper principles await to rule out this embarrassment of ontology
The headline doesn't reflect the reality - I think what is really going on here is that 3 hours are spent doing what is considered 'work' by the outside world (sitting in front of the machine and writing the code that people believe is what the job is).

However, creative stuff like programming doesn't tend to fix in such a neat box, and the preparation, or creative thinking which leads to elegant solutions to problems tends to benefit from spending time doing something else - your brain is still whirring on the problem whilst you are out walking, exercising, cooking etc.

If you add on the time spent working through problems, you'll probably come to the same conclusion that I have that I spend 24 hours a day thinking about the problems i'm tackling. I often come up with great solutions whilst i'm asleep, and bad nights sleep is often correlated with a gnarly problem i've still not worked out.

I personally don't get hung up on how much time I spend actually coding. Some days it's full on, other days I seem to achieve next to nothing, or if anything go backwards. I've never tried to average it out, but 2-4 hours of actual productive coding per day sounds about right.
But them asking for as much money as (they think) you can bear because you’ve got nowhere else to go is. And on a market with a single real choice the difference between the two is of quantity, not of quality. I’d say Nvidia is leaning towards the hostility side these days, although my absolute revulsion for software locks may be colouring my perspective.

To be clear, “hostility” is not the word I would’ve chosen, as it attributes emotions to entities that don’t really experience them. Perhaps it’s more useful to talk about whether the company cares if the customers feel exploited or not; and I don’t think Nvidia does (think this will hurt their sales).
OkCupid is from 2004. Patents last 20 years. This can't be an excuse for much longer, and software patents are bullshit anyway.

This might be defensive in a way? This is Roku, a maker of media players, patenting a method where a TV would detect the connected player stopped playing and inserts an ad.

Being that Roku makes the media device, it'd be trivial for them to insert an ad without any of this "detect a pause in content" hackery. So I'm going to guess that the point here is actually preventing TV manufacturers from playing ads over Roku's stuff by patenting this themselves first.

Also, sheesh, the patent system is a plague that should be done away with. This is a technically completely straightforward process. There's nothing innovative being done here.
In the other ammonia conversion article the comments noted that the combustion is incomplete, but I assume then a closed circuit system could ‘distill’ the leftovers back into the tank and let out the NOx exhaust out (?)

Honestly, winget at this point is (or is about to be) suffering from the same trust issues GP described. I recently tried to provision a new Windows install with some software, and for many common tools, I found that winget offered suspiciously many similarly named options to choose from. Sometimes all the options look off in some way, like having weird vendor names.

For me, this is a regression compared to just downloading installers from the web - at least I find it easier to find the official site of the product (and distinguish it from fake sites with malware), and pull it from there. Or, increasingly often, get an installer from a Github release.
This completelly ignores the inner and outer world that are somewhat or completelly out of your control in given context. For example, you might be immonologically or psychologically compromised, there might be a lot of noise in environment for some period of month, you got a baby etc. If you are alone, it might be a lot easier, but with family, any schedule that is not dynamic is failure.
Any alternative fuel will have to establish sufficient infrastructure for refueling, that will be a major challenge. It's also a challenge for EVs, but those have the advantage that you can also charge them at home in many cases. And ammonia is something you certainly don't want to refuel in an open system like for gas currently.

You'd need a technology with really convincing advantages to offset the cost of yet another refueling infrastructure. And any chemical storage that isn't fossil fuel will have to offset the inefficiency of synthesizing that fuel using electricity. Not sure how much more efficient synthesizing ammonia would be compared to synthesizing gas, but probably not efficient enough to be viable.

Ideally by combustion with oxygen you get water and nitrogen. Which seems fine.

Though ammonia is highly toxic and there's probably a lot of engineering involved to get this safe and efficient.
Yeh, that's typical for the console homebrew exploits though.

At the very least (beyond the extra TCP DNS fields) you need to ignore/drop the two UDP DNS requests the Wii U makes before failing to TCP.
Didn't they (the CEO?) say the same thing about their Hydrogen engine six months or so ago?
Pretty much. Near-everything aside from "one man project hacking" will have some amount of "office hours" just used to coordinate with co-workers, plan, code review, or frankly just doing stuff like reading the docs or specs.

Even assuming "you can only do 3 productive hours a day" (which is a lie with appeal to authority mixed in. "Look that guy that made shitty web framework did it, it must be good!"), that does apply only to coding, there is more to being developer than just programming

> Especially the advice that you must stop after three hours even when you're "in the zone" seems hard to justify. Instead of insisting on a hard and fixed number of hours everyday, I think it's much more fruitful to follow a flexible time model (which is actually implemented in many work places today): if you happen to have a very productive day, just keep milking it and put in some extra time. In return, you can take that time off on some other day.

I'd even call that advice outright idiotic. You wasted time to get in the zone only to throw it away

I feel like any recommendation of "do X hours of this" is a delusion. We're not robots, we have better or worse days and more or less engaging tasks. If task is "here are API docs, make a bunch of code and tests for it" I can do it whole day without much slowdown.
Colonoscopy is fine, but it’s uncomfortable. It’s not something I’d want to have without a suspicion anything is wrong.
I think it depends on the kind of work you need to do.

For creative stuff, I do the same, but I am also trying to reduce the number of hours at work.

When being in the flow, I just let it continue without breaking.

Oh come on, this isn't how any of this works. We don't have PK Meters like in Ghostbusters. If you want to adopt a positivist worldview, then none of this is possible or real. Some people come to the conclusion that determinative materialism is just a subset of reality, though. The issue here is observation, "qualia". In the absence of some paradigmal revolution, we don't have the tools to investigate this observer problem, "the hard problem of consciousness" with regular science.

> I've never tried to average it out, but 2-4 hours of actual productive coding per day sounds about right.

And how many unproductive hours of work do you spend per day? I tend to fix my working hours (productive or not) to around 4 per day. When I tell fellow engineers about it, they think it’s unethical because my contract specifies 40h/week (I’m an employee). I couldn’t care less what the contract says about working hours.
No, they really didn't last decades. The horrible two-stroke engine of the Trabant had a design lifespan of only 60000 km, and the rest wasn't much better. Since buying a new car was nearly impossible, people kept theirs on the road by constantly swapping out parts.

Especially frustrating when considering that decarbonising a large part of transportation is easy, but boring: it's trains, light rail, it's cycling infrastructure. Not as sexy as futuristic energy sources, but it's what will save us in this sector: viable alternatives to the horrendously inefficient automobile

This is not to mention everything else. The immense death toll directly (crashes) and indirectly (pollution, particulates, etc). The waste of space in cities. The waste of time in traffic that is unfixable if everyone is driving in an individual car. Etc etc. I wish people would stop trying to save the auto industry and start looking at the root of the problem.
Yep that's pretty much spot on :)

Nah, it's fine. At colonoscopy doses, if you fight it, you can remain semi-conscious, and the process of coming out from sedation is pretty trippy as bits of your brain that have been muted come back online at different rates. It's unique, it's legal, it won't show up on a drug test, and it's as near to 100% safe as any drug use can be. (You're in a hospital, for crying out loud!)

(Plus I like watching the video feed from the camera. How many other people have seen the inside of their colon, live? It's cool!)

I get the feeling that it's exactly what Windows "intends to imply or guarantee", it's just taking a long time to get there. The whole code signing part is trying to create a reality where to be able to create software for Windows, you need to be a business entity, and need to have business relationships with Microsoft - directly, or transitively. Basically, a corporate web of trust.

Russian is very difficult. I can write letters, have simple conversations, read some memes, but I'm still quite the beginner compared to where you would imagine I would be studying in class and homework for 1.5 years. But I also really like my teacher and consider her my friend now.

But it's also very rewarding. Understanding the grammar and language and being able to articulate myself very differently is really enjoyable. And Russia has a very rich history and culture that is much more accessible if you can understand Russian. Hopefully I can visit there eventually.

If you’re wanting to save money though something with say an Intel i5-6500T (6th Generation Core) the ‘T’ meaning it’s a low power (throttled) part is worth considering. They are surprisingly close in performance to an N100: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_processor_n1... (although how much to trust those benchmarks I don’t know — it would be good to see benchmarks where all bug mitigations are definitely applied to the older CPU, edit: except neither are hyperthreaded so maybe spectre isn’t such an issue)…

Something like a HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini, can be had on eBay for around $80-100 (USD), with probably 8GB RAM and an SSD. So even less than a new thing with an N100 (although in some cases it’s close!)

It uses DDR4 (one of the first generations that did, so means if you want you can go up to 2x32GB SODIMMs). There’s a whole series of these things, servethehome has a “project tiny mini micro” covering many of them.

On another note. I was stressed out on that day and the one thing that helped me in Jensen's interview, and it clicked the moment I heard it;

David: What is something that you believe today that 40-year-old Jensen would’ve pushed back on and said, no, I disagree.

What I'd love to see is a tiny little board with

- a couple DIP switches where you set the output voltage range you're expecting/able to handle and the minimum wattage you need

- a molex plug to attach a modular set of buck-boost converters

- screw terminals to attach your circuitry

- a small-current 5V regulator output for the "initial" brains of your circuitry, a 5V output signal for power-good and power-bad (source can't supply the required wattage), and an optional input that activates the high-power output
