The juxtaposition of "this is how it's done because otherwise those that fight fires impose restrictions that those that build don't like" and "construction workers Vs firefighters" seems to be undermining your point...

In mature industries, there absolutely are plenty of regulations in place to make sure that builders don't make responders' life harder. That doesn't mean that the responders aren't needed, but the fact that the software industry as a whole decided to go all "response is the only thing we need for most things" is evidence that it is not mature.
MacOS and MenuetOS aren't equivalent, not even up to isomorphism.

Menuet is far from being a practical OS. It's a very interesting proof of concept/research project, but its usefulness evaporates almost completely without the source.
As opposed to living with a spouse that abused them/who they were not in love with, without a way to divorce. Or a huge percentage of people having to experience losing their children?

It was simply not spoken about, people either poisoned their husband if it got that bad, or lived a sad life in silence.
One is the best, most reliable video serving platform on the planet and the other is a scriptkiddie’s project that evidently doesn’t even work and he’s so salty about it that he had to make a post.
Yes, I do: use a bunch of carefully controlled magnets to spin your block hole in a circle inside the phones.

Black holes can hold charge, and thus electromagnetism works on them.

(Not really useful for a phone, of course. But manipulating black holes like that is not any harder than manipulating an equally massive lump of ordinary matter.)
There are both VGA-HDMI and HDMI-VGA easily powered from a spare USB port, sometimes even HDMI bus power. I’ve heard the data can be converted line-by-line and timings are close enough that such devices never need to hold the complete framebuffer.
More a matter of execution than the technology.

Sandboxing and virtualization existed in mainframes and micros already for decades, and were originally made available in UNIXes like Tru64 and HP-UX Vaults.
I googled pillow of doom but I still have no idea what you meant by it. I only find information about real doom themed pillows.

Did you mean a damaged, blown up battery pack? At least that's what I expected to find.
>so you should be aware that nothing you’re saying is new and it’s just as untrue now as it has been for previous generations.

okay, that's perfectly fine. I just wanted to talk about a family Guy episode, I wasn't looking to convince you of... well, whatever we're arguing about at this point. You win.

>Fortunately overcoming your baseless skepticism is not a prerequisite for winning the Nobel.

the COVID vaccine is the exact kind of example of why modern pharmaceuticals is a mess. I understand it was a global emergency, but the mess between 3 companies and the lack of clarification early on regarding insurance and what's covered or not (even though it was also offered insurance free). It shouldn't have been this debate on Pfizer or Moderna or J&J. It shoulda just been "COVID vaccine".

But yes, good on Katalin Karikó. I'm very glad she's getting and gotten the recognition she deserves.

Anyways this discussion has long ran its course and when you resort to insults it's time to disengage. Take care.
This is probably a noob question, but i'm going to ask it anyway - what's the difference between Zima and Rpi (100$) and such (I know there are hardware differences, but do you really need intel quad core CPU for NAS?)

I've seen archeological survey like this. They explored construction site to ~1m depth. Found few things and went away. Then construction continued - in the depth of 2m vaults of (probably) gothic cellar appeared. Workers took few bricks home and continued with constructions of foundation and underground garage.
I really hope that this yields fruit. I'll never touch the language again myself, but we need to get the hardcore C++ fans on board. However,

C++ doesn't interoperate with anything either due to name mangling being unspecified.
It's not uncharted territory. It's just more expensive comput-wise, and I expect google to make that calculation to conclude it's not worth the cost yet.

But compute costs could drop, and change the equation.

(Edited/extended per nonrandomstring's comment below)

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but it seems to me that the Author expects to find a human that is to be right on their subject matter, all the time, and never goes beyond that narrow scope.

It's quite possible to be right in a carefully enclosed area, but you have to expand that area as much as possible to make it applicable to the modern world. Thus, mistakes (and the experienced gained from them) are part of the territory.

I see the authors quest as one bound to be fruitless in the long run.

I curate my information sources, and I readily accept their flaws. I know that Peter Zeihan sometimes gets out over his skis intellectually, but that's a part of his schtick. I know the general biases, strengths and weaknesses of those I pay attention to. I give them authority with my attention, they didn't get it from anywhere else. I believe everyone should take similar care.
Who claims it isn't? Also, the word "systems" in "systems programming" doesn't stand for "operating systems".
SSDs and batteries are the only components (as far as I remember) that have a "guaranteed" cycle lifetime. Or in another words, a "very likely after this point" failure threshold.
Yes, the list is basically demagogic pseudo-intellectuals. As pointed out in the article they are "pseudo" as although they might be studied in one field, they quickly start talking about other topics that they have not studied academically and simply try to enforce their model upon. A lot of "clever" people start sounding less clever the more they talk about something you know about.
I was using some weasel words, because the human brain does have some structure that we can decipher. Specific injuries to the brain, even in different people, tend to cause the same specific problems. (With heavy emphasis on 'tend to', this is not deterministic, like removing the 'e' key from your keyboard.)
> consider breaking off from the rest of the EA movement and recognizing that the brand now means something different.

Yes, this seems fairly likely to happen.

> the intentions of leadership really matter. And in any human organization that manages large sums of money and power, you have to have sharply-enforced defenses against charismatic leaders who say they’re your friends and share your priorities, but actually want to take the movement in a very different direction.

I don't think this is exactly the issue. Openphil's leadership is, as far as I can tell, sincerely not trying to dominate the movement. The problem is that they're such an important funding source for charities that they can't not do so: even if they would never actually withdraw funding to punish people, the mere fact that they could creates a chilling effect.

In principle the same dynamic could apply to GiveWell and global health charities, it's just that there aren't the same sorts of deep ideological differences there: e.g. maybe Alice thinks parasitic worms are the most important problem, and Bob thinks it's malaria, but they're always going to agree that both are extremely bad and should get significant funding.
rewrites (successful ones) are some of the most fun I've had in my entire career! it's incredibly satisfying to already have all the requirements and end user features crystallized and battle tested, and have your sole job be to figure out a better way to express them in designs, algorithms and code.

I think the term "para-social relationship" might help you.
If this were the case, I feel such practices and admin interfaces would have leaked by now.
Maybe I'm not the intended audience, maybe I'm not from a culture that understands posts like this, but this all seems so hollow and tone-deaf.

If I didn't otherwise know about the lay-offs it would to me paint an entirely misleading picture, it only hints at redundancies with euphemisms:

> need to realign our operations

> a need to refocus our priorities

> The resulting restructuring

And that's it, no other mention, not even an oblique one.

And yet the article is full of things like:

> SiFive today is in tremendous shape

> SiFive’s growth has never been stronger

It just comes across as complete bullshit? There's no sense of communicating difficulties, or any sense of humility. Just a lot of "Hoo hah aren't we amazing!".
“Studies show” cannot possibly account for all workflows. The most extreme monitor users I saw were security personnel who used them to… monitor things. Their office looked very cyberpunk being utterly littered with corporate desktops and cheap TVs and LCD monitors.
EMC is hard. Especially for consumer devices where every development loop and testing hurts profits.

Apple (based also on the SAR issue) seems to be cutting corners big in this area.

Why not BMW ? Because there are norms which tell you how much you can transmit and the transmitter usually has maximum power.
I would have expected for youtube to splice the ads directly into the video stream ages ago. Combined with some stream throttling it'd make it almost impossible to skip (or at least waiting for the ad to be over).

Any reason why this hasn't been done so far?
History has demonstrated that kind of thinking is going to harden resolve. It's militarily useless and morally repugnant.
Content creators do a lot of scamming from their part as well.

They advertise nordvpn claiming that without using it, all of your traffic is unencrypted for example.
It’s an interesting article, but I feel two ways about it, as it’s quite clearly an ad for the company.

However, I respect that they don’t hide that.

A lot of articles are really “stealth ads,” masquerading as “news,” so it’s refreshing to see these folks just come out and say it.

It is also genuinely interesting and original subject matter, not just reflected text from another site.
No it's because shallow networks can't express complex functions. If you think about it the shallowest network is pretty much a lookup table. They can theoretically model any function, but the number of parameters needed means in practice they can't. Deep networks can learn much more complex functions for the same number of parameters.

was there _ever_ a doubt about that ?
Why move them? Has something new happened with Google photos beyond the traditional critiques of Google products?
Yes. I tried to find the calculations, but couldn't find them. Google Bard to the rescue (and cutting out the actual calculations she gave):

> Therefore, a black hole needs to be at least 9.49 × 10^{22} kilograms in mass to emit 100 watts of Hawking radiation. This is about the mass of the Moon.

No clue whether those numbers check out.

EDIT: poking bard a bit more gives this correction:

> However, for a black hole to emit 100W in gamma rays, it would need to be very small, with a mass of only about 10^22 kilograms. This is much smaller than the Moon, which has a mass of about 10^25 kilograms.

But poking more and more makes me less and less confident, because bard seems to believe that bigger black holes emit more than smaller black holes.
As far as I understand, chips are basically made of parts. CPU, of course, then one part for USB peripheral, another for USART, another for ADC and so on. Every peripheral is more or less a complete and isolated device. So if it's possible to get hands on this peripheral datasheet (I think it's called IP) written for chip designers, that would reveal complete complexity of the given part of the MCU.

Also I don't really have an idea, but I wouldn't be surprised, if a very significant part of transistor budget has been spent on SRAM or something similar, which is not very fascinating.
dammit this is on my list of crap i have to do.

problem is i need to get 4 peoples accounts off google photo's and onto my synology drive.
I think you might be right, but I think you could also be wrong.

The fork in the road is whether trust-less = anarchy or apathy.

I think the latter is more likely, given that only those who are fooled once are less likely be to fooled again. We will certainly see increased political polarisation but perhaps politics entirely becomes a marginal concern for extremists, whilst everyone else gets on with their day.
The video is nice, but not particularly actionable - if you’ve used GitHub Enterprise within the last year, or browsed GitHub’s website marketing, you’ve probably seen many of these features already.

https://gh.io/how-we-build-github is linked to from the description and has a few more interesting articles and case studies. While they don’t often go into detail, you’ll pick up some tips and best practices on how to best use GitHub at a larger org.

If there’s a limitation, it’s that for enterprises, a lot of these features have big price tags attached by design, and some of the big features, like code spaces and CI runner VPCs can be done through local .vscode project files and self-hosted runners for cost savings.

Unfortunately, there’s literally no way to replace GitHub’s secret scanning on-push given that you can make commits so many different ways and only GitHub can scan them all. And GitHub’s pricing for their security package reflects this, at least at an enterprise level. And let’s not talk about storage costs or other ways they get you with consumption billing. Caching speeds up your CI but you end up paying for it in bandwidth and storage costs, likewise talking to GitHub releases was free, iirc, but downloading a published package had a bandwidth charge, I’m forgetting the details but GitHub billing is full of weird inconsistencies due in part to how GitHub worked historically, but also because newer things are designed on and for the cloud, and the cloud’s billing model… Until they added a page for it, there were scripts you could run to see which repos took up the most space, because yup, you can get billed for that too.

There’s a small part of me that misses the simplicity of self-hosted GitHub Enterprise in that you could quickly navigate to other enterprise projects (last I checked, labels were still broken in GitHub Enterprise for listing internal projects), maybe wrap it in a cloud proxy and add your own secrets scanning, or link your self-hosted GitHub to your self-hosted Jira. (Note: I absolutely prefer the cloud-hosted versions, but it was possible to tune the performance of local versions in a way that it isn’t possible to do so in the cloud. I never worked for a company that bothered to tune them, but it /was/ possible. And probably cheaper.)

I probably shouldn’t ask why GitHub repo and org settings can’t be managed through GitOps in 2023, or why GitHub defaults to using HTML and web pages in 2023 instead of making API-first a standard across all their features. The number of times I’ve thought to myself that it should be easy to do X via the API only to discover that the only way to do X automatically is to use Puppeteer and Chrome to screen scrape… the worst offender at one point, besides Projects and other new features, was OAuth app management and approval. So many GitHub features are still designed web-first and GitOps or API never… or at least not yet. My favourite is when doing something requires combining both the old REST API and new GraphQL APIs, because yes, that is also sometimes a thing.

I haven't had any of the recent MBPs, but my 2020 HP EliteBook's main body looks similar to my 2013 retina mbp, which already had the "unibody" construction. If also feels quite solid when I hold it by one corner while open. The lid does feel somewhat flimsier, though, especially the hinge.
That's for abstractions to take care of. If my CI platform offers a lambda runner instead of an ec2 integration, I would use it in a heartbeat.

Also, it's a 5 line shell script that already depends on 2 AWS services (SSM and IAM) that makes an API call to a third AWS service (S3). It's already locked to AWS
I would love to be able to subscribe via RSS to your blog !
You quoted a revenue number, but revenue is irrelevant. Profit is.

YouTube for the longest time does not turn a profit. Google has never revealed any YouTube profit since the acquisition.

I imagine they don't because it is negative. Likely propped up afloat by YouTube data that feeds into Google's other ad businesses.
If you use Google takeout to export your photos you get a lossy version of the original.

IIUC the only way to get the original photo is to click on each individual photo in the web app and choose to "Download original", there is no other way.

If you do use the Google Takeout approach you will need to re-stitch the JSON and EXIF back together via one of the tools mentioned elsewhere on this page.

Lesson: if you care about your photos do not _only_ use Google Photos as the place to store them, put Syncthing on your phone and sync photos directly to your laptop / NAS and treat that as the primary location.

Google Photos is a convenient viewer, nothing more.
It’s pretty dark that Google doesn’t release your photos back to you in a way that makes it easy for ordinary folk to migrate to another provider.

Just one metric. /r/openbsd has 17k subscribers. Not sure with DaemonForums.
In both examples, the war required a resource called public support, and the US lost a lot of it.

Thats not the claim re public intellectuals - just that they have expertise and the ability to explain it. Don't straw-man yourself.

That's interesting. What kind of documentation would you expect in addition to ACSL by Example and the WP tutorial?

What are the proprietary components that you miss the most?
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I find that too many shows and movies add sex scenes unnecessarily. It doesn't add that much, except to drive the maturity rating up from PG->R or something like that. I think that sometimes, it's done intentionally because there's a category of viewers that won't watch anything PG/PG-13 rated.

Imagine if Game of Thrones eliminated all nude/sex scenes. Would it be a better show if they focused on character interactions rather than 'edgy' scenes? How many horror movies are R-rated because of a singular 15 second sex scene?

I'm hoping that we reach a point where shows/movies don't add in sex scenes unless they add some value to it.
> Ocarina of Time bored me in 1998. It still does

Oh my so I am not alone. I always felt like it was terrible, especially compared to the GB and SNES ones, and whatever games were out on PC/PS/DC around that time (not so much about the graphics but the game's pacing,
controls, and mechanics). I feel the same about Golden Eye.

I feel like these games got a lot of success not because of what they are but because it exposed a chunk of players (Nintendo die-hards) to a type of game that wasn't previously available to them on their favourite platform.
Do you know if Rumble is sustainable? Just curious
One of the reason they still exist is that a software written and compiled in late 80s is still running in production environment unchanged since then.

They also have some other cool features like "serverless", low operational overhead, decoupling between cpu and storage.
A neuron is analogous to a 3d integrated circuit rather to a transistor. A molecule acts like a transistor https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/the-origin-of-life...

Changes in mechanical pressure, electric field, other molecules attachment, photon absorption, can control the conductivity.

Organic semiconductors designed to fit like lego bricks to naturally build the desired structure are IMHO the way to go to produce 3d circuits, rather than layered silicone litography.
Such a manual method would only have videos of the most popular content.

Not to mention the labour required is not scalable tbh.
Because they're sold together, so if you wanted forgo YouTube Music, you'd assume it'd be cheaper.
Somewhat weird comment...I thought it was obvious, I and others are occasionally interested in what e.g. Joe Rogan has to say because it's entertaining.

I didn't think this was in any way confusing or surprising, and never thought this had anything to do with love.

Isn't this the position of most people?
I don’t really see any way this could not be anti-competitive. A perfectly functional peripheral was rendered non-functional at an arbitrary date with no benefit to consumers and with an obvious benefit to the party making the change in terms of increased licensing fee income.

Why is this sort of behaviour allowed?

Yet another move by MS contrary to the ‘see we arent the same company as we used to be’ vibe they’ve tried to cultivate.
You didn't read the article, it's in the subtitle and the article itself... it's also in the domain name (.ac.).

These are academic accounts on Google that are granted to students only whilst they are students of the institution. The account is ephemeral and you will lose all data within the account.

Nothing is implying the students used these for personal purposes either, these could be photos of blackboards / whiteboards, photos of handouts, photos of the class, etc. Though it is likely that all photos taken are in the academic account as I doubt anyone is switching the Google Photos account and managing what's on the phone.
I would definitely choose Strang to begin learning Linear Algebra. He develops the geometric intuition you need for applying it in other subjects such as Calculus or Statistics or Physics. Linear Algebra is not just Abstract Algebra, at least for most of us, including most mathematicians. After Strang, or even alongside him, if you want more rigour then you would benefit from a text like that of Anton, or Friedberg, or Curtis or, God forbid, Axler.

FYI I bought Axler's book (3rd edition).
Take your well achtually’s back to Reddit, dude.

You have nested shells in a sphere. Like a couch on moving day, there are only so many shapes that will fit around a corner and still be substantial. If they weren’t substantial no reasonable person would call it a chunk the size of Africa.

I lol’ed at “photo taken without permission by Martin Booth”. That caption made clear to me how ridiculous this is in ways that somehow the article didn’t.
Most mathematics originates from trying to solve physical or engineering problems. Typically physicists have been on the forefront of mathematical research - this has only really changed significantly in the last few decades.

Also, mathematics as practiced is internally consistent. It is incomplete, though. That is how it stays afloat of Godel's result. Basically Godel's results showed that no matter how much we strive, there will always be propositions which might be true, but which we will not be able to prove are true. Unless of course we start using methods that sometimes prove false propositions, which we have not done.
