My US college had the opposite trend 10 years ago. Rising enrollment but no increase in housing led to single rooms becoming doubles, doubles becoming triples, and the shared lounges to become quads.

So glad I lived off-campus (5-10 minute drive) every year after freshman year. Twice the space, better amenities, no fire alarms, nobody trashing the bathrooms, and all for half the cost.

Nginx is built as a reverse proxy, useful to intercept traffic coming in to a server and route it to the correct service. This is the opposite, I guess we can call it an obverse proxy: it sits near a client and allows the owner (or a malicious party) of the client to intercept the traffic as it leaves the client. A former employer of mine used something like this to gain access to the API calls being made from iPhone apps, but you could use it to say attach authentication to calls heading a certain way (think what AWS is doing to make service to service calls work transparently to the user) or tons of other stuff (blocking content, if you’re so inclined).

I haven’t tried to use nginx as an MITM proxy or this project at all, but presumably it’s easier to use this when your usecase lies closer to the client than the server and vice versa.

Basic markov chain models are also next token prediction, so it isn't new, we have done that to make language models for over half a century at this point. It is one of the earliest things people did with computers.

Our modern LLMs are an evolution of that, but the next token prediction part is almost as old as computers.
>Long build times

This is one of the major ones for me. It's a multiplier for everything else. local builds, CI builds, feedback cycles. If you get your build times down, everything else gets faster.

Migrating to Bazel was a godsend, while Bazel isn't perfect, it's one of the best build systems for large C++ (or mixed) code bases I've seen. buck2 looks promising, too, in this regard.
>The business is razors and blades, build the printer, take a loss on it and make it up on the back end with toner/ink sales.

No, that's the business now. It wasn't like that back in the 80s. The printer companies chose to adopt that shitty business model.

>The most popular solution, DRM. The big boys got to it quicker than the little guys, but every one of them knew this was 100% necessary or they'd get their lunch eaten at either end

Yet some printer makers don't bother with this and are still in business, like Brother.
Prior to re-Catholicization of the 17th century, there was a strong presence of homebrewn Hussite/Brethren Protestantism (mostly Czech-speaking people) and somewhat smaller presence of classical Lutheranism/Calvinism (mostly German-speaking people). There wasn't any clear geographic boundary between those two, the communities were mixed, though there were regional "strongholds" - e.g. Silesia was strongly German-Protestant while southern Moravia was strongly Czech-Catholic.

Orthodox communities, with the exception of ambassadors or foreign businesspeople, weren't a thing in Early Modern Kingdom of Bohemia.

Big Project Complexities - has nothing to do with software business. It's an organization challenge which has been known way before anyone wrote anything remotely complex with software. See planning fallacy, optimism bias, read about how car and structural companies has done it. Look up "GM, Toyota and NUMMI" as an example.

Cross Team Dependencies. Again, this is an organizational challenge. Cognitive loads, poor communication structures based on industrial org designs and army-based leadership with control and command. Hierachies etc. Read Fred Brooks and Mel Conway on these for a more specific software approach.

Meetings, meetings, meetings. Of course there is a "going around it" solution for this. And it's called a manager. No manager should allow any team member to attend meetings if no thourough agenda is available, no actions for attendees, no proposed actions afterwards and someone who controls the meeting. Meetings will then turn into writing instead of verbal.
I would see two arguments. One is, yes, if the prompt is complex enough I think that changes the ruling. Secondly, the fact that output is the same kind of media as the input I would think is relevant. An image carries vastly more information than a text response, so it's much more arguable that the output is substantially the contribution of the AI, not based so much on the input.

This is what motivates me in my ... admittedly belief.

Of course politics will always play a huge deciding part in resource allocation. But if the allocation is based on a small "elite" then it looks a lot like historical societies - and we think we have moved beyond that.

If we believe in democracy for our civic society, if we believe in the Totalitarian Bet, why not apply democracy to the companies that are too big to fail?

It is also why I suspect founder led companies do very well (if the founder is good enough) - the internicine politics just gets overwhelmed by the founder picking and choosing - but history has taught us that it's vanishingly rare to find such people, to place them in the elite and have them continue to make excellent decisions over decades.

It is not nostalgia. In Europe, for instance this is something actively forced on the people.

You put it like this is all inevitable and 'progress', which I think is both not true and dangerous by discarding the opinions of those unhappy with it (which leads to things like Brexit, IMHO)

This is a choice made on behalf of the people and Brexit, the recent election result in the Netherland, and the political situation in many other countries show that the people don't necessarily agree with it.

It is comparable and creating more excuses to defend GitHub’s horrible uptime especially with access to Microsoft’s resources is quite frankly laughable.

With Microsoft, GitHub should have a far higher uptime than Twitter / X. But GitHub even has a worse track record of uptime with less users than Twitter / X does.

With MS footing the bill, there really is zero excuses for GitHub falling over frequently and deservedly gets shat on under that same standard of uptime that Twitter / X is under.

The woes the author of the article or various posters in this thread are also side effects of "implementation details". I don't think anyone is critical of HIP as a programming language, as it's just a CUDA clone. Pretty much all complaints (crashes, perf issues, poor device compatibility) regarding HIP/ROCm pertain to poor implementation/execution, including the directly-emitting-device-specific-machine-code problem. AMD can't wriggle out of this one with that excuse.
A balloon does that because it has very low mass and moment of inertia, compared to the thrust provided by the escaping air.

An asteroid is not like that, even when heating one side with a nuclear bomb. The goal is to create a tiny change in its velocity vector, which still adds up to a significant trajectory change over time.

We have seen so many companies happily go bankrupt, while top managers cash out big time. Few people give a shit if company is successful or not as long as everybody can make bucks until the party ends.

Democracy keeps those with power honest and in-check. Especially with technology you can enforce top-down mechanisms unlike in previous human times. Regardless of whether your policy makes sense or not.
Amazons leadership principles are great actually, I still have a card sized copy with me years later.

Thing is, as all more culture realted things, they are a two-edged sword and up for interpretation. And that allows to use them in a malicious way (this cultural aspect, PIPs and the preformance review cycles, is really bad, I agree). A ls always, just how those principles are applied depends a lot on leadership, some are great other not. Amazon's problem is, the normal bell curve of leadership talent gets tranformed into a bath tub curve by their hirong and promotion standards: You either have great people at the top end or bad ones at the other wothout any mediocre ones balancing and cushioning this.
> watch the Concorde take off for the last time. That this is the engine off the same plane I saw 20 years ago is really cool

The future is fading away quickly.
You don't - but it doesn't apply. The size of the "engine" compared to the mass of the asteroid is enormous. A balloon has a relatively large engine compared to it's mass, and the engine is flexible - i.e. if you stiffened where the air comes out, the balloon would fly much more predictably.
Oh, I'm not using it to excuse the issues! All I'm saying is that if AMD implemented SYCL instead they'd probably turn it into an equally big mess.

There's nothing wrong with refining models, but it's a bit besides the point. At a 1995 Planetary Defense workshop Edward Teller proposed the development of a 1Gt device for that purpose. Fusion bombs are actually quite straightforward to scale by adding more stages, so it wouldn't be terribly more difficult to produce a 10Gt device instead. What the model tells you is how large a device you need, but all that's needed is a conservative model that tells you the minimum size you need, and then you can add a generous margin of safety on top of that. The goal is to stop the asteroid hitting Earth, there's nothing wrong with deflecting it "too much".

But right now we have exactly zero such devices prepared. Existing nuclear devices are about 3 orders of magnitude too small, and none of them are set up for a launch into an intercept. That's where the focus should be -- getting something, anything, of roughly the right order of magnitude that would provide a credible response to a detected inbound asteroid.

I hope more companies will follow. I hate rentable electric scooters with passion - they cause so many accidents, block the walkways and pollute the landscape. They aren't even particularly ecological, considering how they mainly replace walking, and have short lifespan.

Of course it's more of an user problem rather than tech problem. They could work well in a society where bad behavior is not tolerated, and eScooter use is regulated properly. Unfortunately I don't live in one, and thus eScooters really seem to attract lazy and irresponsible types.
Soundfont Midi Player works with wine, thanks so much!

There's also apparently a Wingroove SF that people have made too. This is awesome.
Johnwalkr had some good reasons. The machines are old, with gears and belts to transfer motion not something made with separate motors for each motion. I never saw the specific machine I am mentioning but I wouldn't be surprised if protective parts of the machines stayed off to make it easier to fix malfunctions.

The machines were designed at a different time. I've been in the back of a few alleys as a kid and they seemed a few steps, but not that many, beyond the shops where all tools were driven by belts from the ceiling. For example power looms severely injured people in a time before they were designed with safety guards and that's just moving thread>
For the uninitiated: MIDI is a fundamentally different ideology of storing sound compared to MP3, AAC, and so on. Whereas MP3 and their brethren store actual sound data, MIDI stores what is most easily described as musical scores.

When you play a MIDI file, you are expected to literally provide the musical instruments to play the musical score with. In the past this was provided by your sound card with a synthesizer, and in more recent times provided by your operating system as a software synthesizer.

The reason behind MIDI being structured this way was to reduce file size. Remember, we are talking the 1980s when MIDI was invented; disk space was expensive. Storing the raw sound data requires a lot of space, but MIDI only needs to store the musical scores which are significantly smaller. The actual sounds were stored locally and synthesized by the sound card.

In an era where disk space is worth pennies, MIDI is an obsolete solution for a problem of a bygone age. But the technical considerations and compromises that went into its design and the innovative creations that composers made within the technical restrictions imposed are nonetheless a hallmark of computing history.

Look up the "Totalitarian Bet" by Guardian columnist.

The basic idea is that in a

democracy and openness and metritocracy leads to better people in positions of influence, and leads to organisations that are more mission focused and more flexible.

But it's a bet. There is no reason to believe that the military industrial complex of democratic mid-century USA is down to democracy or just luck.

But is "our society" defined by liberal democracy? And if so place our bets on liberal democracy
How is that relevant? Are you acting in good nature?
>If this lead to more successful companies, we'd see more successful democratic companies.

If something hasn't been tried at a wide-scale I wouldn't say you can conclude that.

Concluding democratic systems don't work in the 15th century would be somewhat similar, because you're living in one of many successful kingdoms, with not many successful democracies to point at.

There were some past democracies, like the Greeks, but naysayers would say, if that system worked so well, we'd see more of it.

I think it might be worth a try. It might fail.

I personally think it's a question of scale. We know from high-level politics that usually for large nation-states, democracy works better long-term than dictatorships. Dictatorships often work well in the short-term due to faster decision making, but long-term they lack the error-correction and accountability of a democracy.

A company that executes too slowly might not be successful. So I can imagine that small companies work better as dictatorships. They need fast decisions, they need a vision.

But big corporations? They move slowly anyway. They have a lot of subdivisions. One part doesn't know what another is doing. It could be that a bit more error-correction through democratic participation helps.

>an introverted national culture that encourages the various companies fight each other (eg: Toshiba vs. Sony vs. Panasonic) rather than stand together and face the global market

Huh? Since when do American companies like Google and Apple stand together instead of fighting with each other? Are we in the same universe? Competing companies don't stand together in any capitalistic society I'm aware of.

>Japanese people are very talented, but that also means they oftentimes can't understand the value of inventions and technology.

As another comment pointed out, the exact same thing has happened many, many times at American companies: Xerox PARC and the GUI are the poster child here.

>Also, I'm Japanese. I call dibs when it comes to (justifiably!) trash talking my heritage.

I'm an American living in Japan. I've noticed that it's very common for Japanese people to think that something about their country or culture (especially negative things) is unique to Japan, when in fact it's much the same in countries and cultures all around the world. A common example is how many really seem to think Japan is the only place in the world with 4 seasons (!), but there are many other more substantive things.
Could you give a hint to the employer or the industries you talk about? Surely if an employer wants to very very securely lock down the workspace they would just tell employees to come to office and design that like a fortress, right?

South Korea has been known for being very strict about false advertising in packaging. So products there usually look very similar to what's shown in the packaging. I imagine they go beyond reduced quantity.
yep, but that's not curable (yet!)
But if you do escape the container, then you have plenty other containers to peek into. Which is juicier than "just one."
Wouldn't be impossible to police. If you keep the same packaging, but change the ingredients how likely you think they just made the product better?
The same thing happens with rock bands. Sometimes they tried to put together bands called "supergroups" with star musicians from other highly-successful bands, and the results were usually underwhelming. It's probably because many times, one of the "underperforming" musicians does various other important tasks that don't involve technical ability on their instrument. One example here is Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue: he's a competent bassist for that type of music, but definitely no virtuoso, but his big contribution to his band was in songwriting, not bass playing, and his songwriting is arguably one of the big things that made the band so popular and successful in its time.

Also, sometimes certain people just work really well together, and one of them may not seem all that great on their own.
