It will probably be 20-30 years before it goes away. But I think there will be a point where service providers that drop v4 support in their networks. At that point clients that need v4 connectivity can use 4-in-6 tunneling/VPNs.

If by "become HBO" you mean become as bad as the current state of HBO, sure, in which 99% of the content is trash but there's a show or two that are still decent.

Tragically most Netflix originals are hot garbage. I'm repeatedly amazed at how BAD television is today. I guess I pay for Netflix because every so often there's a show like The Crown which is actually commendable, even if I don't strictly love it.

They didn't really have a choice. They knew everyone else would eventually create their own streaming service for their own content, so they needed content of their own.
Isn't that next level the "theory of mind", that the article says LLMs seem to have achieved (in at least some form) now ?
I built a 4096-pixel LED array (64x64 addressable pixels) that, when lit fully up used something like a kilowatt. However it was about 4 feet by 4 feet with spacing between each pixel and could run just fine without overheating.

These days I'm working on a PCB with many LEDs on it and heat management is much more challenging; I ended up designing the board so that the LEDs sit on thermal rectangles with through-holes (vias) that connect it to a massive ground plane (in this case it's "thermal ground" not just electric ground), as described in the datasheet for my LED chip. Each LED is 3W so it can get hot really quickly, but as long as the board is adequately coupled to a larger heat sink, it can run at fairly high power. Thermal coupling is harder than I expected! I have learned you can melt solder with a hot LED(!).

Also, it helps to run LEDs at a lower-than-max power; you get most of the light but less of the heat. Keeping LEDs in their happy zone prolongs their life signficantly.
I am fine with "extra scene to setup the next season cliffhanger", but sometimes the "mainline story" isn't even finished. The season just stops at some point before the payoff, then gets cancelled in the off-season.
Imagine if this was indeed the case, what a time to be alive! We're witnessing the moment as the noise in the sonogram morphs into a recognizable shape of a baby. It's our heritage, our future generation, human 2.0, Machina Sapiens.

Although we can't directly measure the one way speed, can't we at least demonstrate that the speed of light is the same for various arbitrary directions? I'm imagining sending a very brief & well columnated laser pulse aimed at e.g. Pluto, such that we have to "lead" the shot based on light travel time. If the outward bound light pulse travels slower/faster than expected, it will arrive at the wrong time & miss the planet, won't it?

You could repeat the experiment at different times of the Plutonian year to verify other directions, etc..

I think there may be practical problems with this method in terms of creating such a well columnated laser pulse, but in principle couldn't we use it to rule out anisotropic light speeds in several (perhaps most/all) directions?

> a graveyard of prematurely canceled originals

This is the crux of the issue for me. I lost interest in even trying new Netflix shows because they developed a reputation for cancelling lots of good, not great, shows with loyal followings because they weren't pulling in blockbuster viewership numbers on the level of Stranger Things. This spray and pray strategy is fundamentally disrespectful to the audience.
To clarify, the style experiment I've referenced earlier was just that – an experiment. I did not implement those methods into my software. Instead, I focused on how to eliminate things like 'talking with authority without evidence', 'contradictions', 'talking in extremely abstract concepts', 'conclusions without insights', etc.

These fragmented "plus" services ultimately led me to stop watching them altogether. Subscribing to each one becomes costly, and I don't find them compelling enough to justify the expense. In fact, I can't even recall the last Star Wars movie I watched.

Token buckets have burstiness problems, CAKE lets you run things at ~99%+ of your link speed, assuming a stable medium, without bufferbloat, thanks to the packet pacing it does. CAKE also does several other things using Cobalt (CoDel + BLUE), and clever 8-way set associative hashing that helps out when you have many flows.
Just for fun, I just tested a few recently generated articles with https://huggingface.co/spaces/tomg-group-umd/Binoculars (someone linked it in this tread) and it ranked them as "Human-Generated" (which I assume means human written).

Meanwhile, Originality detects AI generated content with 85% confidence, which is ... fair enough.
Can these small misses get caught by tools? If so, litter your pre-commit with them. Maybe tests? Make a point to add those if they help catch these errors. You want to automate as much as possible so you get quick feedback before it becomes a PR.

So if you hate fiat currency without any underlying value, why are you willing to defend any "currency" without any underlying value?

You could proclaim "GOLD STANDARD" I guess, and it might be better, or probably even worse. The big problem is that God filed all the gold under NOT USA. If South Africa wanted to devalue our currency then, they could mine a whole bunch of gold and put it on the market.

If you're going to have a currency valued on something tangible, it needs to exist only in the US, something we can control.

Also if you want to own gold, BUY GOLD! No one's stopping you! It has an intrinsic value in both jewelry and electronics! No need for this crypto nonsense!

> Reporter: "Why is it hard to cure cancer?". Crowd: "Would there be enough of a financial incentive to do so? Seems like a prime startup opportunity!"

What you want to optimize for is the money amount that you make at some quantile of the probablity distribution of the profits; say, the profits that are guaranteed in the best, say, 3 %, 5 %, 10 % or even 20 % of all possible outcomes. With a probablity of 97 % (if you choose the best 3 % of the outcomes), you won't make sufficient money if you attempt to cure cancer to be worth the risk, so the financial incentive is not there.

TLDR: Financial incentives do matter, but work differently from how many people think that they are structured.

> pretty loyal Pokemon fans despite being in their 30's

Pokémon is 28 years old, so people now in their 30s would have been the core demographic of Pokémon fans at the start. I would expect them to be the most loyal fans, no "despite" needed.

> How is this any different than Digimon?

The criticism I've seen is of specific creature designs that look very close to those of specific Pokémon. I don't particularly care about that either – but the criticism is not just that it's another mon collection game.

I would love something like that. Something with curved keys that fit the contour of your finger instead of the "everybody-copy-apple" flat key nonsense.

Curved keys are more comfortable, putting even pressure on your finger instead of high pressure in one place.

They also give tactile feedback to help center your finger on each key, making typing more accurate and faster.
They do reorder instructions. I think the SIMD part has more to do with loop analysis than ILP.

It's quite telling that there is a #pragma omp simd to hint to a compiler to rewrite the loop.

Now I wonder what's the state of polyhedral compilers. It's been many years. And given the AI, LLMs hype they could really shine.
I remember this article. The issue today is that there is so much abundance of digital products that streaming sites like Spotify need to charge extra for content considered premium: https://www.strangeloopcanon.com/p/discovery-is-the-original... I think that with the online marketplace "optimized" for low cost- Amazon and Direct from Supplier available through Drop Shipping, the long tail needs to focus on more basic goods, like housing and transportation.
I feel the same way, but at this point, I have extended the same policy to Disney and Amazon to at least some degree. If I can't verify that the show has a decent conclusion at the end of what is already released, I avoid it.
It is a very nice keyboard layout. I'm very happy I discovered it (even if it was by mistake!)

Another example I can think about: remap the Ro key to toggle between international layout while it's pressed, so you can switch between layouts with a key right next to the shift key.

For example, on a US/RU settting, press Ro while pressing the 6 keys to the right of Tab in a sequence and you would get ЙЦУКЕН, don't press Ro and do the same: you would get QWERTY. Mixing and matching in both upper and lowercase would be very easy.
I haven't noticed that to be the case. Small prompt changes can change the output though as with all LLMs.

Well, yeah, you have to think about security to write secure code.

Let's say you are working in Microsoft and you need to implement commit parsing, and all you have is few examples. Which of the statement below matches your thoughts the best?

1. I am sure no one will ever pass anything unusual or try to hack this, after all this is just an publicly accessible endpoint which protects important user data. I am going to go with solution that is fastest to implement, single regexp.

2. It's important that this function does not fail, so I am going to do my best to try to find a valid user email. If there are multiple lines or some lines are malformed, I'll just keep searching. I'll use a single regexp to make sure my code is robust to frontend changes.

3. Looks like relevant line is "author " followed by name and email in some format followed by datestamp... I know email parsing is extremely complex, so it's important to get this right. I wonder how they handle all the details - national characters in email, quotes in real name.... Oh well, I'll just grab the whole "author" line and implement the strict regexp check, and if anything is weird I'll fail the request. This may reject a user with weird name, but we can fix it when if the user complains. Oh, and I know git only allows single author per commit, so I am going to enforce this too.

4. All of the data samples are in the exact same format: "tree", "author", "committer", "gpgsig", space-prefixed gpg signature, empty line, commit message. And they all come from same origin (codespace javascript), so I don't they will change too much. I am going to hardcode this specific field order, and if there are any discrepancies, I will fail the request. The frontend team may get annoyed at me if they update git library and tests start to fail, but at least the system would be secure.

So I assume no one is going to argue for option 1 (although all those links you have posted are making me doubt)

Option 2 is what Postel's law is about. It was really popular at early internet, as it allowed much more compatibility between systems. I'd argue it is not a good idea in today's internet at all.

Option 3 is what I would do myself. Note I am not using any knowledge about git internals, this is all just generic defensive thinking about network protocols.

Option 4 is what I'd do in really secure systems where I control all parts. Could be a bit of overkill for the github case though...

Anderson was probably too optimistic about the value of the long tail for creators. But it was pretty clear early on that the main value was to the aggregators of the long tail (like Amazon). Power Laws still held but in aggregate there was a fair bit of value in the sum across the long tail even if individuals there didn't make much.
Helen Keller had already learnt a ‘home sign’ system, which was presumably language-like enough to allow her to learn English later.
Sometimes I wonder what our media landscape would look like if exclusive licensing deals were prohibited. You still own your IP, you can sell it, but whatever price you set, it's the price that anyone who is interested in your product is allowed to buy.

I'm not sure how this would interact with companies that both create and distribute content. They'd either be forced to come up with a price, or else maybe that combination of services would be disallowed under an extension of market consolidation/monopoly rules?

I dunno, all I know is that the current regime sucks in everything from streaming to sports broadcasts.
