Just as thought excercise:

- mechanical cannot be easily unlocked by conductors in case of emergency
- mechanical would break more often because people don’t care and would push on door even if it is occupied.
- in a hurry might be more convenient to simply push button assuming one is already familiar with the system.
- having only buttons it is easier to keep it clean and having people less contact with door handles/latches.
- can be automatically locked on stations so people use them between stations so you don’t get foul smells while boarding and waiting
And very inefficient.
Ha, I just googled and Schnitzel with Spätzle seems to be German thing indeed!

The traditional side dish for "Wiener Schnitzel" would be either rice, potatoes (with parsley) or Viennese potato salad, but french fries is also very common (although a bit frowned upon in traditional restaurants).

Side note: real "Wiener Schnitzel" must be made with veal meat! However, many restaurants offer "Schnitzel Wiener Art" (Viennese-style Schnitzel) instead, which is made with pork (or chicken) and therefore much cheaper.

I think you are talking about the Venturer simulators. It looks like it lives on as two-player cabins named Venturer S2 for the arcade; I can't find what the model number for the "bus sized" version (could hold 14 people) was. Both the small and the large model uses 3 pistons arranged in a triangle.
Well, the desktop experience is dominant for every single person using a computer. The uncountable servers they use through their web browser are hidden by their desktop.

Even people using mobile devices don't see servers. They see the UI of their phones and tablets. Same for voice enabled devices: the UI is the voice, the server is hidden.

> I'm always interested in the Hindsight Bias: people say "oh, it was obvious it was fraud." Well, not really.

Well, I don't know about that. On one side, there were people who were convinced it was a fraud, some of which were very vocal and public about it. On the other side there were people who didn't care, or wanted to believe.

But there was not one serious and knowledgeable person who took a strong good look at FTX and concluded it was legit.

One could construct a spectrum, from outright pessimism through 'naysaying' and 'reasonable skepticism', ending up somewhere in the region of constructive challenge and helpful pressure-testing discussion.

Would all stations on this spectrum be disappointing to you, or is there a line to be drawn? And if so, how would you explain your reasoning?

(I ask this not to be awkward, but because I've often mused over something similar myself, when frustrated by the knee-jerk challenge offered by some folks to new or positive ideas.)
You make a good point -- basically, our brain could understand that our body is fixed in space, and that when we "walk" we're actually sliding the environment around with our feet. And just quickly get used to it.

It's not clear that this would work, but it's not implausible either. Maybe it'll make us nauseous, or maybe it'll feel different but still work fine.
Agree. The extreme secrecy of DRAM manufacturers about the innards of their chips puts an additional obstacles in the way of memory controllers (MCs) implementing efficient Rowhammer defences. In particular, if the MC doesn't know which addresses are corresponding to neighbouring rows, how can an MC know with certainty that any concrete row is being attacked? (And, to the best of my knowledge, DRAM manufacturers don't give away this information.)
It’s likely a big part of what helped win the war. A whole swath of science was discounted or thrown out by the Germans because of the race component.

> And I don't think there's any way of actually telling whether you're accelerating or tilting

The moment the machine moves the frame to make you feel like it’s accelerating, it generates a rotation. A gyro would prove it. The body would feel if the machine tried to generate fast transitions.
The chance of a particle escaping depends on its mass.

That's why helium escapes pretty fast. The other gas molecules still escape, but far far slower. The Maxwell Boltzmann distribution applies.

Something like a virus is far far heavier again, so the rate of escape would be miniscule. Not sure if it's small enough to have never happened across the surface of earth though.
That "best in class" is only true if you listen to Apple's marketing.

The sensors in Garmin, Suunto, Samsung, and many others are equally as good, plus Garmin and Suunto have significantly better battery life than Apple too.

But would you pay for Adobe software on Linux? When Adobe surveyed that they found that what people mean by "Photoshop should run on Linux" is "Photoshop should be installable from the package manager for free on Linux"
But the story is wrong, and so is the character!

I could see Adobe trying to compete with Apple, maybe even make their own app dist store.

TCP connections are bottlenecked not just by the browser/client, but also at the load-balancer/server. Modulo SO_REUSEPORT, a server can maintain at most 64k active connections, which is far below any reasonable expectation for capacity of concurrent requests. You have to decouple application-level requests from physical-level connections to get any kind of reasonable performance out of a protocol. This has been pretty well understood for decades.

Quite the opposite, I've read academic papers on critical theory and related subjects. I have an advanced training in a STEM discipline but as an undergrad I took electives at UC Berkeley, a highly regarded place for studying critical theory. Those humanities courses set the stage for my own philosophical/political inclinations as a graduate student, as well as later on in my life.

So it is with those readings and my own academic background that it is worth pointing out that critical theory itself criticizes the social role of these college classes and the way they are taught. I'm not the first pro critical theorist reader to do so--these issues are raised and debated within these fields by professors / within the scholarship itself. A mainstream example is Slavoj Zizek, but he is by no means the only one.

It is the fact that you've either taken or taught these courses that I find your subtly uncritical "assurance" to be superficial and lack a deeper awareness of the positionalities of cultural studies in general. If you have done a substantial amount of reading, then you'd at least know exactly what I mean by the above and would not have written the your reply that way.
> I don't think the third option is really a good strategy in life. A lot of the frustrating things in industry exist for good reasons (that more often than not, turned out to be bad/inconvenient a lot later) and life is too short to get upset at things when you're being paid to understand them.

On the other hand, a lot of frustrating things that could be fixed with a modicum of effort are neglected on the basis that "nobody's complained". Sure, pick your battles, but don't be so compliant that you leave easy wins on the table.

It isn’t for everyone, and not for everything, some software obviously like Adobe won’t work natively or the latest, additionally, more specialized software are mostly on windows like some engineering simulations and other brand centric like automation software.

I think they are talking not to Disney Research, but to the people excited by Disney Research. I’m of the opinion that we should just let people be excited about things, but I can see the mindset that doesn’t want people to be set up for disappointment.
However, Proton/Deck cannot play everything, which is where the trade-offs hit. The library support is continually improving, but that does you little good if your friends are all playing X, but that title only runs on Windows.
It cannot be completely bypassed.

The attacker cannot control precisely which bits will be erroneous. When much more than 2 bits become erroneous, in a small fraction of the cases no error will be detected but a wrong value will be read at the next access.

However, in the majority of the cases an error will be detected, either non-correctable, or correctable in which case the corrected value will be wrong.

Despite the fact that wrong corrections are possible, in a system with ECC that is configured correctly it should be impossible for a RowHammer attack to escape detection, unlike for a system without ECC memory.

On a computer that is not defective, memory errors happen very seldom, typically one error after many months. Even only 2 correctable errors that happen in the same day represent an event that can be explained only by either a RowHammer attack or by a memory module that has become defective.

Therefore, a well configured computer with ECC memory should alert immediately its administrator when 2 on more errors happen in the same day, even if they had been correctable errors, because this requires immediate action, either stopping a RowHammer attack or replacing the defective memory module.

It would be pretty much impossible for any RowHammer attack to attain its target without triggering 2 or more ECC errors, which will reveal the attack attempt.

Only when there is no ECC the attack can proceed undetected for a time long enough to be successful.

I think there might be a problem with calling these new VR systems are 'holodecks', a term used both by journalists and sometimes the technologies' inventors themselves. Just because we haven't yet reached a USS Enterprise level of refinement, in which you can run, climb and interact with objects naturally, doesn't mean that omnidirectional treadmills don't have a huge amount of potential. After all, I for one don't feel any less impressed by ground-penetrating radar or X-ray scanners just because they won't fit in a pocket-sized Star Trek tricorder. All that will come in time, probably within my lifetime. That's already a century or two ahead of their fictional schedule :)

We could use omnidirectional treadmills right here and now, the vestibular confusion issues notwithstanding, for all kind of entertainment and education purposes. Consider that a lot of popular video games don't actually involve as much complex movement as you might assume from the critiques of VR: the main activity in most tactical first-person-shooter games is crouching behind walls! Virtual reality museums and art galleries will be great with omnidirectional treadmills; here, walking is not the point, it's just a natural and intuitive way of navigating in a virtual environment without having to learn the controls beforehand.
People don't want to install an operating system. If PCs came with a blank hard disk and a box of Windows media, almost nobody would buy PCs. The year of the Windows desktop wasn't until 1990, when Microsoft started pressuring OEMs to preinstall Windows 3.0 alongside DOS; prior to that, Windows was something you installed, so nobody wanted it.

If OEMs preinstalled Linux with Cinnamon Desktop or whatever on their PCs and marketed those PCs front and center, put them out on display at Wal-Mart and Best Buy, there would probably be some acceptance among consumers. But that would violate Windows licensing contracts so they don't.

: Some jurisdictions have a minimum dollar threshold for accrual of consumer’s use tax. For purposes of consumer’s use tax, Chicago, Illinois does not tax the first $2,500 of purchases annually. Other jurisdictions apply minimum amounts subject to tax based on the nature of the item sold, for example, the city of New York does not apply use tax to the first 400 cigarettes brought into the city or in the possession of an individual.

In general there is no real reason why a software running on Windows 3.11 could not contain 100 years of development time. What seems less likely is that the majority of that code would be highly hardware or system specific and would require porting to a modern platform. But as we do not really have any idea what kind of system we are talking about, it is hard to speculate.
Those that say a thing is impossible should stop interrupting those who are doing it.
Another micro = big BOM cost increase

Another core = overall device cost likely unnecessary.

Both blow the power budget up.

Regarding determinism, relative to what?

An interrupt will, or can be very consistent relative to the signal. Polling jitters relative to the same signal. That may not be desirable.

Now, I did see you mention a Propeller chip!

The first chip worked as you describe and it is beautiful.

There are good reasons why interrupts were added to the second generation chip. They are mostly the reasons found in this discussion.

I was a part of the P2 development. We had a TON of discussion on this topic. Fascinating. Let me share an observation:

Many interrupt systems end up overloaded. One ends up writing a mini operating system to manage all the desired outcomes! And that can be a mess for sure.

In the P2 chip, a couple things were done to help with all that:

One is a priority and event system. Events trigger interrupts, and those break the program flow due to early implementation choices made that simplified the chip and made the power budget sane. There are three priority levels and 16 events that trigger on incoming signals as well as on chip events and other core on chip.

The other was polling modes so one can wait and employ whichever mode made the most sense.

Finally, interrupts happen after instructions complete. Doing this came with some controversy! But, it seriously simplified the chip and helped to draw the lines where the developer has choices to make and good options to make them.
I got a Garmin Epix Gen 2 a few month ago and it's great. It looks great and works great.

the UI too a bit to figure out, it isn't as intuitive as Samsung, and I assume Apple, but now that I've got the hang of it, it's fine.

What I don't understand is why Garmin has SO many different models. They all seem basically the same. When I was in the store to buy mine, I struck up a conversation with another guy looking to buy a Garmin, and we were trying to figure out why you'd chose a Fenix over an Epix over (I can't even remember the other names).
Router/switches don't transform the data, they send it to its destination. Most of the power in data center is used by computers, not the routers, switches, and load balcners. Now if you said that data center acts like one big computer, that would be accurate.

Plus, power doesn't go out, all the power is used by the data center. Mixing data and power leads to confusion.

FWiW, I've never actually seen seniors want that either. Generally, when I've seen people 'setup to fail' - its been a management decision (didn't like your tie, had to reduce head count etc.). I bet the IT guys in your first gig WANTED to help, but as you said, they were told not to..

Seniors WANT juniors to succeed - if only for selfish reasons: if a junior 'fails' - the seniors will probably have to clean up the mess, but if a junior 'succeeds' it allows the work to be spread out across another person. Also, the juniors might have some ideas about smoothing out rough spots, improving on-boarding, etc. Bonus points if they can help clear the 'landmines' (I've actually seen juniors do that - fresh set of eyes and all that..) So naturally, you want juniors to succeed.

As you mentioned above, I think it probably just comes down to what is 'basic effort' and what does it mean to respect people's time. As you said "co-workers remember how you made them feel" - Juniors that make you feel like they don't respect your time definitely get remembered too.

P.S. - I _hate_ being the 'smartest guy in the room'...I love working places where there's lots of people to learn from and I definitely ask a lot of 'stupid questions'...But I do try to do initial research before asking.

Anyway, Glad that first gig didn't sour you on the whole career :-)
I think I disagree with almost all of his examples. But his overall point feels accurate: Tesla just seems constantly distracted with “the next thing”.

Why are they building a robot when they haven’t finished autopilot/fsd? Why are they adding features like “Lightshow” and “Adding and Dropping Disney” when it has semi broken implementation of Spotify/Netflix/Youtube. They are basically printing cash these days seems weird they aren’t putting more polish on their features.
my two cents (from personal experience):
Getting money when you are from low SES is not that stimulating, because the money is inevitably spent on mundane purchases: i.e. buying a new pair of school shoes or school supplies, or beef instead of chicken for a meal that week, or fixing your car.

If that money would be able to be spent on anything that the child desired, then I am sure that even a lower-SES would be more excited.

I fundamentally believe that the higher-SES you are, the more agency you have (especially financial), where lower-SES are in constant survival mode.
It is hard to get excited by small sums of money when you know that it will just be immediately spent on boring things.
