It’s not about who voted for Trump or not. There’s democratic politicians who just as likely take beoing money.

The crux of it is that more and more education is being eroded and the education we do get is funneled through the lens of what’s profitable. Americans critical thinking ability is being eroded. And we all know the systemic issues that cause this.

It's interesting how much we associate a place with the fulfillment (career) we had there. I always smile fondly when I pass by the buildings I worked in years ago, in the valley.

It's a strange thought that the building I spent so many hours, days, years in is now just a thing seen out of the passenger window as I drive by, for maybe 2 seconds.

The target market for Xserve and Xsan included creatives (video servers, render farms, etc.), education, and science/biotech.

Note that the Xserve was just the last of an interesting history of Apple servers. I'm especially fond of this 1996 behemoth: https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-apple-network-server...
The issue is that it's hard to turn that into a business. In the US, clearly a company like Github/Microsoft can't do that. You suggest finding a country that might be more permissive. The issue there is that there are a lot of treaties that most countries have signed up to that protect IP like WTO membership or the WIPO Copyright Treaty. Maybe those wouldn't prevent what you're suggesting, but they probably do. There are some countries outside that, but not a lot and some of them are probably non-starters like North Korea or Iran.

And who would your customers be? You won't get US or EU companies wanting to use your Hackintosh Cloud. They know the jeopardy they'd get in if they were building Hackintoshes. Renting them probably isn't much better. What happens when Apple figures out that a company has been building their iOS apps on the Hackintosh Cloud?

Plus, if you were to create a Hackintosh Cloud that got any traction, it would be a constant moving target as Apple tried to foil your plans. What happens when the next security update also has something that makes your machines not boot? Sure, you find a workaround over the next month and in the meantime your customers find that your service isn't worth it. Companies pay a fortune for things to be reliable.

Finally, how much could you really undercut genuine M1 pricing? Scaleway will rent me an M1 Mac mini for €80/mo (€0.11/hour) or an M2 Pro for €173. You're going to need to pay really smart people to keep breaking Apple's attempts against you. Scaleway just buys some Mac minis. Plus, the ARM processors you're buying won't have the performance of Apple's chips and might even have slightly different behavior for things like memory ordering. Maybe that won't matter most of the time, but if I'm paying for a build cloud, I probably don't want to be second guessing it.

When it comes to cloud services, I think buying genuine Macs isn't really the issue. I mean, Github is charging $350/mo for mediocre 2-core x86 runners. They're charging nearly $7,000/mo for an M1 runner. If you wanted to compete with Github's runners, you could just rent Scaleway servers at €80/mo and still hugely undercut Github's pricing as long as you got a bit of usage. At half of Github's price, you'd need about 17 hours of usage per month to cover Scaleway's price - less than 2.5% utilization.

I'm with you on the sunken ones in deep water.

The "smeared along a beach or headland" ones are more worrying. What if the storm gets the reactor above the water line? What if a houthi anti ship missile wrecks/ignites the reactor compartment? What if armed men burst out of some of the 20000+ containers and deliberately try to engineer a disaster?

The article ends by asking for favorite swag. At Gitex I got a small bottle of hand sanitizer with a clip so I can hang it on my bag. Great idea. Useful item and I’m carrying some company’s logo with me for months after the show.
Any recommendations for books on the history of computing from that period?
Both. On the one hand, what Rust essentially forces you to do is just to program according to proper RAII principles that an experienced C++ programmer would already know and should already be using (especially once polonius lands), it's just better at checking failure to do so than any sanitizer or linter could ever be, so it's a way to avoid having to deal with annoying, hard to track down memory bugs. And in fact, the greater confidence static lifetime guarantees give you allows you to do things like using move semantics more where C++ programmers would have to use copies out of defensive programming. That's predominantly why I personally use it, as far as memory safety goes. On the other hand, [around 60-70% of serious security bugs have been proven to be caused by memory safety across many different projects](https://alexgaynor.net/2020/may/27/science-on-memory-unsafet...) so if you do care about security in what you're doing, it's a boon there too.
C++ and C are no longer used for the same types of projects so C++ is not a better C.

Unfortunately different people can need really different takes on diet.

"5 smaller regular portions during the day" is part of how I went from 100 to over 110kg and struggled to walk longer than 20 minutes. Getting back to walking fit required 10 days being fed minimal amounts to prevent collapse of digestive system with a tube through the nose. I still gained weight ultimately, but combined with exercise it allowed me to walk and even run for short distances.

Spent years just trying to figure out what's wrong with endocrine system - still don't really know. One of the things led to being prescribed ozempic, not just for weight loss, but because of its function of lowering insulin levels.
OK, I’ll take the question at face value: programmers build systems on computers that interface with the real world and hence real users. If you want to build systems that work well for users then you need to understand the problems those users have. Having a wide spread of life experience in the industry will lead to a greater chance that a greater spread of users will have their problems solved by digital systems.
We need more housing, and we needed it yesterday. Ugly is better than nothing. Folks that care about aesthetic quality over quantity are part of the problem.
Here is a recent and interesting paper connecting GJK and convex optimization [1]. They show that GJK is equivalent to the iterations of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm applied to the QP, and that recent improvements to Frank-Wolfe can be applied to improve GJK.

Frank-Wolfe is a somewhat less well-known (compared to simplex, interior point, etc) convex optimization algorithm with many interesting properties [2, Section 3.3].

Can't imagine anyone relying on Chinese technology at this day and age. Most of the stuff is copycat of western tech.
I just spent a week in New Jersey. It was not possible to get anywhere without a car. I had to take a lot of Ubers from my hotel. Surrounded by large multi lane roads and car parks. No pavement to walk even if you wanted to. Every business needed a huge car park. Everything was incredibly spread out.

Maybe this is normal for Americans, but for me it was a car hellscape. I don't own a car living in London, and there just isn't the same need.
There is an enormous amount of money being spent on research to figure out how to prevent people from dying. You're welcome to donate your own money to the many non-profit foundations issuing research grants in that field.

This technique is called Dynamic Range Compression and has been used (abused?) by the music industry for the last century. You're right though, weird that I don't tend to think of it on the device side. One issue I've run into is that it's surprisingly hard to hijack your computers outgoing audio stream for processing. OS level audio routings honestly sucks.

The better place to implement this (in my opinion) is in the games themselves. I've seen a few games (wish I remembered which) recently that offered a few choices in their audio settings so that you can request reduced range for more consistency in noisy listening conditions or full dynamics for people with nicer setups.
What could you possibly think average Americans could do about this if they did care? Who says there isn't many of them (like you) that do? What are YOU doing about it?

This is also a lesson of what the nature of government interests and protection of a company can do as much as it is the reverse. If Boeing wasn't so integral to national security and defense, and therefore too big to fail and catered to with defense budgets, maybe it would have failed and changed. It doesn't really have domestic competition. This is state failure and bureaucratic interests as much as corporate.
I agree that the vast majority are not walkable but it doesn't need to be that way. I live near an extremely walkable suburb.

Storefronts at the sidewalk instead of on the other end of sprawling parking lot. Pedestrian crossings in the middle of longer stretches of road (as opposed to only at intersections). Dedicated bike paths throughout the entire town. Schools centrally located on a single campus in the middle of town.

It goes to show what a town can do when the local government decides they want to be more than just a outpost for a larger city.
Congrats! Did you notice any other benefits in terms of confidence or attitude?
Completely anonymous and uncensored anything is hard to come by. You really can't legally provide a service like that in most Western countries. Every service that has tried has ended up realizing why it doesn't exist.

Even if you tried to base your business outside of the West, you're left figuring out how to collect payments for it without getting blocked. LLMs are far more expensive to provide than plain text communication or a VPN.

Eventually it'll probably happen, but there are a lot of logistics to sort out first, and in the meantime the open source models still have a ways to go before they're good enough at arbitrary problems out of the box to be worth paying for.
It happens for me even with Google Pay on iOS. I’d hope that at least Google would know how to use it correctly.
The difference is that tinnitus is easily preventable.
My view is that many jobs in major chains (e.g. Starbucks, fast food, retail, etc) become low skill because any of the real thinking skills are pulled into separate corporate offices with totally different roles. Decisions like how much to advertise, what to stock, sourcing inventory etc. are totally removed from the workers who run the store. This puts a ceiling on the skill level needed for the job.

Sure you can operate the machines and make a good drink, but what good is that if you have minimal influence over the menu?

I replied to you in order to help you. I'm doing async since 2007.

I use async regularily for my clients, and I'm 100% sure that the usual async executors in Rust are multithreaded. I just ran gdb on an async program again, and, sure enough, the tokio async executor has 16 threads currently (that's just on a laptop with 16 cores).

async fn say_world() {
println!("world");
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
loop {
say_world().await;
}
}

Just try it out.

Also, think about it. Using async in order to speed up I/O and then pin the async executor to just one core of your 200 cores on a server is not exactly a winning strategy.

>executor, which essentially is running a synchronous process in a thread to make some bit of synchronous work compatible with async

That's not what an executor is.

Also, the thing above is an example of parallelism, so even worse than concurrency. But even with an one-thread-async-executor you could still get concurrency problems with async.

>If you want to maximise your cores then run multiple instances of a single threaded process using systemd or something, or use your application to launch multiple async threads.

It is not 1995. Your idea would make scheduling even harder than it already was, and it would add massive memory overhead. If you are gonna do that, most of the time, just use synchronous processes to begin with--no need for async.
> but also need to test the rules and see if they are really as important as everyone says.

Thank you.

Then I don't quite agree with the article on this. I don't need to "test the rules" myself to see if they are ready as important as everyone says. I can observe.

For example: I don't need to drive without a seatbelt to "test" whether seatbelt is as important as everyone says. I can observe that people without seatbelt have worse outcomes from accidents.

I think this might also be related to whether the kid grow up with parents they can trust and are able to explain the reasons behind "rules" to them. I was fortunate that my parents always tried their best to explain why I should or should not do something. I questioned them a lot, but defaulted to "trust" when they didnt have time to explain.
Hahahah! :) Seriously? It would be pretty obvious some bad harm had befallen them, don't you think?
There is a lot of cost savings in taking COTS parts and qualifying them for space vs. designing new space-qualified parts, we will see more of this in the future especially with expensive niche technologies with a lot of crossover such as optical communications.

Regarding their mobile OS, Huawei has previously made claims[0] several years ago that it would be "60% faster" than Android and that "one line of Harmony OS code can do 100 lines of Android code". Does anyone know if these claims ever panned out? That would inform how seriously I take any newer claims they make about performance.

I was expecting this to end with the usual "using this to treat patients in clinical settings is at least 10 years away" (read: probably never) but this one is actually available now it looks like, although it's very pricey at $3-4000.
Why, because it sounds like an HR announcement?
There is a very slick proof for the irrationality of the number 2 that is found in Baby Rudin.I thought it was his invention.Turns out it appears verbatim in Hardy's A course of Pure Mathematics.
Having to walk a couple of minute just to get to the car is not acceptable. I have five kids (with hopefully at least another five in the future) which requires 10+ minutes just to make sure everything is in the car that we need. There's no way I'm going to hall them down the street to get in the car. The convenience and freedom of having a car in my garage is irreplaceable.
>unless this politician’s values and positions are identical to ones OpenAI have trained ChatGPT to have

That's not far-fetched if he's Sam Altman's preferred candidate.
True, I am biased towards mostly-digital systems that keep anything analog-ish (sensors, amplifiers, converters and power supplies, PHYs, RF, etc) at the periphery, connected via digital buses, where all the scary analog stuff is taken care of by off-the-shelf components or self-contained textbook circuits. But analog electronics is still electronics!

> the only way to learn the skill of putting things together is by designing a thousand circuits and building intuition.

When it comes to electronics projects specifically, I'd say less intuition and more just learning the rules and conventions; the intuition part is more general. In the job where I got roped into doing the electronics for a pretty complex machine, the design process went (surprisingly) smoothly largely based on skills that I learned doing complex software projects, and somehow found myself translating into a very different field. (Maybe that's just me, though, or maybe that project working out was just a fluke.)

Unless you mean "intuition" as in learning the rules until they become second nature, in which case I agree: on that project, all those years of dicking around with breadboards and LEDs paid off.
They might be Amigans which seems like a pretty bad outcome. Look forward to an hour or more of someone who is enthusiastically wrong about a broad range of topics and has been scammed for thousands of dollars without learning a thing from the experience. Oh the new one is faster and cheaper, but you had to get in early to lock in the price? And the delays have really only been a couple of years? Right, yes...

I think that if you have a PhD in the right field and enough hip publications that many of the FAANG companies still have research teams like that operating in a diminished capacity. It appears to me that many of these positions have been replaced by administrators who are more interested in hiring to a specific set of demographics.
