In practice though there are tons of politics involved and something like .su is supposed to be sunset but everyone is really careful not to mention .io Realistically I'm not sure there will ever be a consensus around what this. Too many diverging opinions.
The plain-language explanations in the book[1] are still awesome, though. The exposition is fairly faithful to reality and doesn’t really omit any details. A style from a different time that doesn’t seem to have survived in today’s popular writing—which has its own good traits, but not these.

I am (or was) a professional music producer, had great carrier in my 20s ~ mid 30s. Also produced couple of national hit songs with famous singers (South Korea). Now I'm working on my own company as a CEO and lead server engineer.
I can surely tell you, coding is more like an art than science. If you deeply know how to 'enjoy' good music, that, can also make you a good music producer as well.
What makes a great music? is having a same lame solid pattern and structures over and over again but able to implement unusual unpredictable element at some points. And I believe that approach also applies when writing a good code as well.
Researchers Use Artificial Intelligence to Help Diagnose Autism
Popularly known for developing a customized app that is AI-powered, Sachin Dev Duggal’s Builder.ai also builds apps related to health, which are ready to use. The company views the application of AI in research and development and disease detection as a comprehensive approach, with a focus on human welfare.

> “amateurs talk about effort, professional talk about impact”.

I rather prefer to talk about elegance, thus I am likely neither an amateur nor a professional, but rather suited to academia. :-)

(I really liked my graduate studies, but was more suited for finding deep connections in research problems than for academic politics, which is why I left academia)
I like working on complex problems. But I like making simple solutions. And making those is often hard. So you might say I like hard problems.

> I could try to solve an easy problem as quickly as possible

The "solve X as quickly as possible" is now the problem. Not just solve X. I And that sounds like a hard (therefore interesting) problem!
Interestingly the Japanese incarnation of WeWork has high occupancy, a separate ownership structure (WeWork Inc. is a shareholder) and they are putting messages out that they will be totally fine.

Looks like another "Yahoo! Japan" situation.
> They owe you precisely nothing.

This is true. And nobody owes them anything either, something the GP was trying to make clear to the reader (with a reminder that if they do this thing how that will be used). I think this is a reasonable stance to take when any party pulls out the lawyers. Such a move must be mistrusted, lawyers are a mistrustful tool.

>Oral tradition can be pretty good

That's very vague. Oral tradition was replaced by writing because writing is better, and the information content decays far slower. Do you have evidence of information transmitted orally across thousands of years? Best I know of is a few measly centuries, from the Iliad, where some passages obviously show knowledge of Late Bronze Age Mycenaean gear, but mixed up with later Archaic stuff.

>and it's not just the Black Sea that flooded, it's coastlines everywhere.

Which wasn't the specific claim here, which is "all flood myths go back to the Black Sea Deluge".
A lot of that is things like the money you pay a babysitter or kid washing cars. It's not worth the effort to actually tax it.

Then some rules are unfair: for example in my business the more hours I bill the more money the business makes. I can bill more hours if I hire a cook, painter or child carer. Only I'm not allowed to. I can understand why - this could be abused - but also allowing it might actually boost the economy. Those helpers would be earning money which would also be taxed. A lot of people have their parents around who do that unpaid which is the reason it isn't allowed.

How do you not cringe at a comment that so matter-of-factly states that our modern researchers all have this assumed negative propensity that somehow the wisend researchers, thinkers, and leaders of the past did not have.

You must be speaking of personal experience, because otherwise your comment is completely ridiculous. But if you are, you certainly have no personal experience with historical figures. So how can you judge a day-to-day interaction with the greatest hits of someone dead?
"So everything with their service has to be done through their apps."

What sane person would do this? Use infomaniak instead (Switzerland). Tuta seems to be a German company. There is another one, I forgot the name but a few friends of mine were using it. I used google, could not find it but I am actually surprised that there are many providers. E.g.

Even if there weren’t any studies on the harmful effects of plastic consumption (which I’m fairly certain there are at least theoretical mechanistic studies if you make the effort to look for them), it makes common sense to try to avoid that, no?

I don’t think there are any studies on the effects of regularly drinking gasoline or eating toilet paper either, but plastic, gasoline, and toilet paper consumption aren't exactly time-tested foods that propelled civilization forward.
I wonder how common this is as a cause of death.
There are two usual strategies for growing: 1) low cost, organic and slow or 2) high cost, throw a lot of money at advertisement, saturate all media, grow quickly or bust.

The exceptions are those rare products that despite a low cost marketing sell themselves so well that their organic growth is fast and in a few months everybody use them.

Maybe Bluesky don't have the money to advertise or is not compelling enough. As one data point: I know about Mastodon but I think that I learned about Bluesky only today. I went to their site and there is nothing to explain how it works except that it's some social thing. I learned more by reading the comments here. Apparently it's being marketed at a very low cost.
Half my career has been in HealthTech. I've found the problem to be interesting just because of the constraints. I've never had to use math and care about big O notation so much as when I needed something to run on these potato computers they had.

Beyond the technical constraints, there's just the domain itself. I've focused my efforts in this domain of just digitizing paper processes. There's so much to know from a regulation standpoint and a quirky middle man chain standpoint.

Some of my proudest accomplishments in my career is just standing anything up that replaces paper even partially. I've been praised many times for just making something that works after so many have failed. None of what I did was technical amazing. A lot of what I did was just doing a lot of reading and talking to people and I'm amazed how many engineers weren't doing that.
They do kinda look the same if you tilt your head i guess :)
Amazon has been going downhill for a long time, when I first started using them it was quick, it was easy, and I knew what I bought was going to arrive within a reasonable time frame. I bought Alexa devices, I bought their TV box thing, all was good.

Fast forward a decade or so and it's exactly as you say, finding anything reputable on their website is an exercise in frustration and unpronounceable randomly generated "brands" which have paid to be pushed up the search results. Alexa works maybe 50% of the time when I try to use it now (mostly I've switched to HomePods and Siri), the devices with screens are a constant flurry of pointless distractions ("There's nothing on your shopping list"... cool, maybe just don't tell me about that then). FireTV is a barely functional shit show which often takes multiple seconds to validate I've entered the parental control PIN correctly, and can take anything up to half a minute to fully populate the home screen with adverts.

The thing that really took the biscuit for me was when I cancelled my Prime subscription recently. Now whenever I try to buy something from Amazon I get interstitials trying to dupe me into reupping, often cryptically worded such that it looks like I'll be paying £10 for delivery if I don't. This is probably a good thing as it just encourages me to go elsewhere.
All USB 3 devices are compatible with USB 3.2. They roll up the requirements for everything in there in addition to compatibility across modes. The 3.2 spec does not say you should "now call it USB 3.2 Gen 2x2".

The only actual name changes I can think of

- SuperSpeed+ became Superspeed 10 Gpbs.

- The branding improved around USB4 to combine power and bandwidth capabilities into a combination of name and graphical mark for cable labelling and the like
Because they are getting the payment. If the customer would be paying the landlord directly, AirBnB wouldn't have the responsibilty, but since the customer is paying AirBnB, the buck stops there, they are fully responsible for that; the landlords aren't their employees but effectively are their subcontractors.
Agree.

Seems entirely logical that taxes are paid where consumption happens. That is where the property is located. It is not like the property is shipped to where buyer is...
> I'm not inclined to believe it if there's no source cited.

Agreed. Unfortunately, most journalists seem to have gone to different schools with vastly different standards of teaching than the rest of us, and as such have never learned how to cite sources or even informally share links.
And you know that how? Do you have access to the source code?
Counterpoint: there's plenty of coaches out there that teach/reinforce bad form.

> And if you are a beginner, any attempt to do these exercises will invariably contain so many mistakes that they are not worth doing any more.

I totally disagree. StrongLifts (and the Starting Strength book it derives from) starts you with the empty bar. Unless you have a serious medical condition, putting 20kg on your back / chest is unlikely to result in serious bodily harm or damage to musculature. As you slowly and steadily increase the weight on the bar, you discover places where your form needs improvement. At least, that's how it worked for me (I only made it to ~100kg squats though).

Of course it's great if you can find a good coach. But I think an app like StrongLifts is a viable+reasonable substitute for a coach.
This is like looking at a painting and thinking "what's the big deal, I could paint that." I'm guilty of the same, and yet, I've never painted.

Not sure what qualifies as "normal", but I've been happy with mailfence.com for a few years now. I rarely see them mentioned in privacy lists, which I appreciate, as I don't want them to get too much attention. :)

They're based in Belgium, and have a solid stance on privacy and security. They provide IMAP/SMTP access, calendar/CalDAV, contacts/CardDAV, custom domain names, filters, spam blocking, etc. It's a pretty well-rounded and maintained service. The web UI is not the most modern, but it's usable.

Take care
> World renowned venture capitalists with a long record identifying potential efficiency gains wouldn't pour billions into crypto of it didn't have potential use-cases beyond mere speculation.

Except that the vast majority of that money was invested for pump & dump ICOs. They were able to make back their investments in record time by stealing from fools.

> It would be used by wide swathes of society if the legal uncertainty around it were lifted.

There isn't any real legal uncertainty, except for not being able to use money laundering tumblers, though. Nothing indicates that anyone is interested in using cryptocurrency for anything other than speculation at any larger scale than it's being used currently. Wishes aren't reality.

> People deserve better than being told that they cannot engage in private transactions with others without reporting the transaction to their government overseer. This idea is completely anathema to a free society.

This already exists with banks and credit cards. They're required to do some amount of reporting (but not transaction-level) and are required to comply with sanctions and AML/KYC, but those are all good things in general for society while still allowing these private organizations to provide you privacy. There's even privacy laws written to ensure these companies provide some form of privacy.

It's honestly humorous to be discussing privacy as cryptocurrency is the least private form of currency. Even using tumblers, if you were to use a wallet for legitimate transactions, it wouldn't take much effort to unmask you.
Building the first naval reactors ever seems like the very epitome of working in a immature field?
Top modern researchers/practitioners do seem to value simplicity heavily, but can't say the same for most. The propensity for misuse of abstraction/models/data/theories is pretty high from what I've seen. That's my view. You are free to disagree!

PS: It is always better to rely on older sources for illustrations, because they have lived their life fully and you have documentation of their lives + effects of their efforts. It is not a good idea to rely on living people to illustrate principles.
Why do so many developers provide only 64-bit builds of their software?
Doesn't it make sense to only provide 32-bit versions to cover maximum user base? Considering that 64-bit operating systems do support 32-bit apps whereas the inverse isn't true.

If you release for x32, you'd have covered the maximum users whereas if you release for x64, you'd have covered only that block. At least open source developers who intend for maximum coverage or user-base for their apps should support at least 32-bit (if not both).

Below is a great answer post in this regard, credits Ken Gregg on Quora[1]:

> Yes, there are a lot of 32-bit programs still being developed/sold/distributed. No, not every program is 64-bit.

> 64-bit operating systems on 64-bit hardware can run 32-bit applications. And there are lots of computers still running 32-bit operating systems (and will for quite some time). So, an application developer can release one 32-bit product and cover the 32-bit and 64-bit customers. Releasing and maintaining two products, one 32-bit and one 64-bit, incurs some costs. And providing only a 64-bit version leaves all the 32-bit customers in the dust. It is logical and cost-effective to supply only a 32-bit version to cover both groups, as long as the application doesn’t require 64-bit features.

> Of course, the embedded systems arena still has tons of new development of 32-bit, 16-bit, and even 8-bit software/firmware. The choice of an embedded microcontroller is based on cost, availability, and features required, so software developed in this realm runs the gamut of bitness.

Why are you not allowed to hire a cook, painter or child carer?
The author says to "work on boring problems" but I think what it really boils down to is knowing why you are solving a problem. Just picking a problem depending on how hard or easy it seems is a research mindset. Of course it doesn't make sense to apply that same mindset to more business-oriented problems (unless the business itself is research)!

Both research and business related problems are interesting. You don't have to swing between two extremes every time you have an epiphany.

Just my two cents. Nice article!

We had the same issue for our lab when we were spec'ing up a similar install. The one thing I didn't fully realise is the need of having an Enterprise subscription to run the A100s, H100s and other cards. The drivers for these cards are behind a paywall and for academia it looks like it's around $150 per card, per year to run (if you want to run in a DC - https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/design-vi... ). We bought 3, A100s for the servers and 3 L40's (not L40S) this was limited due to space in the severs. The NVLINKs can be added later (it's just a bridge between the cards) so if you can get them without NVLINK I would. (NVLINK works well with cards stacked vertically rather than horizontally). We also bought a desktop system with dual 4090s (£15k - $18.5k) to start on smaller models before scaling up on our servers with the real grunt work happens. This worked well as many problems can be solved with smaller models before going all out needing 4 H100s. Hope this helps with the planning. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more about our setup. (My HackerNews Username is the same as github and you'll find my email address there)
Those who lived through past market busts will remember enron, worldcom, tyco etc. (2000s), lehman, bear sterns, aig etc (2008s). This time around we have Theranos, FTX, WeWork,...

I'm glad we're saying goodbye to this weird story of excess, and I won't ever have to read about WeWork again.
He seems to have a pretty clear idea what he is talking about.

I mentioned infomaniak.com already as an Email provider (can bring you own domain). It is also Switzerland. But regarding law enforcement, posteo.de did a pretty decent job. E.g.:

https://posteo-de.translate.goog/site/transparenzbericht_201...

I once saw a long post from posteo with examples for idiot law enforcement trying to get customer data. Sometimes even writing from private emails (e.g. gmail). Without a court order, such requests are not legit.
Well, in that case you are a final customer, should you put on an online service allowing customers to book and pay for dinner in many different restaurants it would be different.

In Italy it is a rather common occurrence in different fields to be required by Law to act as "sostituto d'imposta" (loosely translatable to "tax substitute", the real translation should be "witholding agent"), as an example banks when you pay through them certain types of services, or hotels when you pay the "city tax" for your stay, or firms hiring a consultant.

The taxes are witheld and then paid directly to the revenue service (periodically), the idea is that instead of receiving millions or billions of small payments, the state receives much less larger (cumulative) payments.

If we take as an example the city (tourist) tax, each customer should pay (say) 2 Euro for each night they stay in a hotel (or AirBnB), a (fully occupied) hotel with 200 beds would generate 200 small payments, 2 Euro each, per day, instead the hotel collects them (in name of the state) and pays in a single instance every three months, so instead of 3x200x30=18,000 micro payments, only one payment/transaction is generated.
