Happened to me too. Worked for a remote 2-year college not too long ago that had all of its data on an ancient as/400 system that went down every couple of weeks for a day or two.

No backups, the tape drive was busted. No replacement parts for things like the bleeding edge 10mbps NIC.

I kept pressing that we need to replace it or migrate off of it to a cloud server, kept getting denied. "It's not in the budget" "It would cost too much".

I mean, we're talking a few hundred dollars a month for the minuscule usage we had, compared to the massive risk that if the system went down it would cause the entire college to collapse and possibly be permanently shuttered.

Finally the ball dropped and it went down. For days you could access it at the main terminal but it would not speak to the network at all.

People are starting to panic. Talks of bringing in an AS/400 repair specialist at over $100/hr are being floated.

Finally, I took a last ditch effort to fix the nic and managed to pull it off.

I let them know that I had managed to fix it and they all breathed a massive sigh, but before they could finish I let them know that this might be the last time it comes back up and that we need to back it up somewhere before that happens.

6 weeks later we had a nice shiny cloud based AS/400 and I held the funerary rites as I shut down that old lumbering beast for the last time.

Final clock, nearly 25 years of service.

Just to add some context, in big Chinese cities most people on the road are using electric scooters. There are really a lot, like a river, perhaps you can find some footage online. While the traffic is pretty heavy, it would be completely unmanageable were not for these scooters, and moost roads have specific lanes for them. I'd say that if your destination is less than 5/10 km away, it's more advantageous not to take a car.
Generative video inherently isn't bad in all cases.

Let's say it's a subject matter expert (maybe another undiscovered Dr. Huberman) with lack of video production skills to some very custom content that is unique with a subject matter expert.

Being able to explain things very well to create beginners in that case would be greatly benefitted by generative video.

On the other hand, if there is a lack of quality content, and a lack of video editing skills, and it's about ad revenue passively being generated, the new seo optimization... and that kind of fluff can probably be filtered out.
It's absurd to think that a country as adversarial to the USA as China would not take advantage of such a vast chance to poison the mind of America's youth. It's as obvious as night vs day. In this case that is Occam's razor.
> It would be fair to say google should put more work into vetting DMCA takedowns

They're effectively not allowed to, by the law, that forces them to assume every take down is good, or they end up at legal risk of being liable for the content. DMCA is just fundamentally broken.

Exactly my point! What you were doing was theory-building, creating a mostly-shared mental understanding of the program.
I mean, your skepticism isn't wrong as it's a definite catch-22... people want tools to share and create their own content, but those tools cost money which means someone has to get paid, at which point the vendors start thinking in terms of greater lock-in and embrace-and-extend opportunities, and the cycle repeats itself.

You click until you find a broken link in the chain and then everything goes to crap.

When you have A, B, C, D, and E, all different webmasters on different parts of the internet making a webring of A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> A, things get really messed up when C stops responding to emails.

As others have said: you need a ringmaster for this to work. When C stops responding to emails, you tell B to update their page and point to D, for example.

We have so many more technologies today than we did in the 90s. I don't know why anyone would look back at freaking Webrings when we have... I dunno... Wikis?

Now the Wiki administrator (A), could recruit B, C, D, and E to be moderators on the same Wiki. When C stops responding to emails, everything keeps going just fine.

Etc. etc.

I don't think anyone who actually lived in the 90s with directory services, Ask Jeeves, and Webrings would ever think about bringing those services back. Like, the good stuff were IRC, AIM, IRQ, USENET ?

I read a decent amount of the paper, although not the specific details of the model they used. And when I say I "never studied" it, I mean that I never took a class or read a textbook. I do, in fact, know something about physics and fluids, and I have even personally done some fluid simulation work.

There are perfectly good models for weather in an abstract sense: Navier-Stokes plus various chemical models plus heat transfer plus radiation plus however you feel like modeling the effect of the ground and the ocean surface. (Or use Navier-Stokes for the ocean too!)

But this is wildly impractical. The Earth is too big. The relevant distance and time scales are pretty short, and the resulting grid would be too large. Not to mention that we have no way of actually measuring the whole atmosphere or even large sections of it in its full 3D glory in anything remotely close to the necessary amount of detail.

Go read the Wikipedia article, and contemplate the "Computation" and "Parameterization" sections. This works, but it's horrible. It's doing something akin to making an effective theory (the model actually solved) out of a larger theory (Navier-Stokes+), but we can't even measure the fields in the effective theory. We might want to model a handful of fields at 0.25 degrees (of lat/long) resolution, but we're getting the data from a detailed vertical slice every time someone launches a weather balloon. Which happens quite frequently, but not continuously and not at 0.25 degree spatial increments.

Hence my point: Google's model is sort of learning an effective theory instead of developing one from first principles based on the laws of physics and chemistry.

edit: I once worked in a fluid dynamics lab on something that was a bit analogous. My part of the lab was characterizing actual experiments (burning liquids and mixing of gas jets). Another group was trying to simulate related systems on supercomputers. (This was a while ago. The supercomputers were not very capable by modern standards.)

The simulation side used a 3D grid fine enough (hopefully) to capture the relevant dynamics but not so fine that the simulation would never finish. Meanwhile, we measured everything in 1D 2D! We took pictures and videos with cameras at various wavelengths. We injected things into the fluids for better visualization. We measured the actual velocity at one location (with decent temporal resolution) and hoped our instrumentation for that didn’t mess up the experiment too much. We tried to arrange to know the pressure field in the experiment by setting it up right.

With the goal of understanding the phenomena, I think this was the right approach. But if we just wanted to predict future frames of video from past frames, I would expect a nice ML model to work better. (Well, I would expect it to work better now. The state of the art was not so great at the time.)
There are a couple of other products in the market doing very similar things. Have you done any work on positioning or differentiation? There is space for different options for sure.

I'll take your advice about keeping this project as a passion rather than being desperate for profits seriously. Certainly, I'll need to face several issues, such as budget constraints, data, and process issues, like your anecdote about Yaya Toure's nearly supersonic shot.

Further to the other reply you can run it alongside asp.net; one process can be an Orleans node and and an asp.net server.
You can exploit this from a single core shared instance.

So you go and find yourself a thousand cheap / free tier accounts, spin up an instance in a few regions each, and boom, you've taken out 10k physical hosts. And run it in a lambda at the same time, and see how well the security mechanisms identify and isolate you.

Causing a near simultaneous reboot of enough hosts is likely to take other parts of the infrastructure down.

Webrings still exist. They're not mainstream. To the extent that the internet is "ruined," it's that the mainstream internet is ruined. There's no going back from this. The only option is to ignore much of the mainstream content on the internet. It will always be there, but critical ignoring is a required skill on the modern internet. The beauty is still there, it's just buried under mountains of trash, and your friends only know about those mountains of trash. (instagram, tiktok, youtube, etc.)
So you think Rust is a bad choice because... the programmers will need to deal with the borrow checker? I think it's been demonstrated that programmers are fine with that.
Yeah, for ISS specifically you probably just consider the bag lost and use backups until the next resupply, for "cheap enough" and zero risk.

ISS is in a rather low orbit, it requires quite a bit of upkeep (ha) to stay in space due to the tiny bit of atmospheric drag: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/9482/how-long-woul...

That's true for everything else near that orbit, so the tool bag will probably burn up (well, re-enter anyway) in the atmosphere within a year or two, and be a complete non-issue after the next boost takes it to a permanently-different orbit.

I just don't attempt to compile C/++ software these days because the process is always an absolute nightmare where you have to attempt to compile, then google the error to see what package it's related to, try to work out what the distro name for this package is, install, recompile, repeat 10 times. And hope you don't get completely stuck where you distro just doesn't have the package or version you need.

Something in rust is always just `cargo run` and you're done.
Shoot, I totally overlooked that part. Here's the proper version:

:load wordlist wordlist.txt
=hasABC { all (count _ x == 1) "abc" }
words wordlist | filter -:(len == 10 and hasABC and .8 == "k")

Notes:

{ } defines a lambda with parameters named x,y,z,a,b,c...

_ is the same as in noulith -- it turns any expression into a lambda. Values can also be omitted from most expressions (e.g. len == 10) for the same effect.

-: takes a lambda with n parameters and turns it into a lambda that takes 1 parameter and replicates it n times.
Logic failure.

>The problem about the whole "it's faster (productivity wise) than static typing" has, as far as I know, never actually been proven (certainly not through repeated studies).

Neither has the opposite, so there's that.

There's an ACM paper too ("An Experiment About Static and Dynamic Type Systems", 2010) which found higher productivity for the same code quality with dynamic typing. Of course a few papers here and there, pro or against, are as good as none. It's hardly a well studied area.

Besides, one or the other proven better doesn't mean much, just like you liking eggs over easy vs scrambled eggs doesn't depend on some study. If it works for you, and you're more productive with dynamic typing or static typing, use that.

Even if a study "proved" that one kind is "more productive" based on some statistics from measuring some group, or that it has "less bugs" most people when given a choice would still use what they prefer and makes them, as individuals, more productive and happy coding.

>Having worked with both dynamically and statically typed languages extensively, I never felt I was _more_ productive in a dynamically (or gradually) typed language compared to one that was just statically typed.

Depends on the type of program, the type of programming (e.g. imperative/declarive/functional/logical/OO or some combination and so on), the program's scale, the team size, and other aspects, including individual aptitude and preference, not to mention the language and its semantics beyond dynamic/static (and the ecosystem too). I'd certainly be way more producting using dynamic numpy than some C equivalent, even if as a lib it had feature parity.

>In addition, that work you need to (potentially) pay upfront will help you a lot in the long term, so I suspect that for anything but the most basic programs static typing leads to better productivity over time.

There are problems where upfront work is not a benefit, e.g. if it means getting behind in building your MVP or getting behind a competitor adding new features faster while you "perfect it", and your early stage startup loses steam. Also for things where the overhead of upfront might put you off from even attempting them. It can also be a problem to have big upfront costs for exploratory programming and searching into the problem space for your design/solution.

I’m surprised the OP and no one else in this discussion have mentioned the single biggest factor in the reduction of random social contact, which are headphones, especially earbuds.

In other words, it’s an interruption.
