I didn't know him, and sadly had never heard of him, but it's just incredible to think that something as foundational and essential as NTP was invented by one person. What an amazing legacy to leave behind.

Not to take the focus off Dr. Mills, but I imagine at this point there are quite a few big names in the early Internet who have passed by now. It feels incredibly sad to me to think that at some point, the Internet will just be humming along, but none of the people who worked on its original foundations will be around anymore.
The difference is the capabilities. LLMs don't necessarily need billions of Parameters. In fact, useful models (like the one used in never Apple devices' autocomplete) has only like 50 million. Markov chain... I guess there is probably a reason why we don't use them instead of neuronal networks. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable can enlighten us, but I suspect one might need magnitudes more parameters.
>VHS, DVD, and BD were much more accessible. Region issues aside

That's a quite large thing to push aside. Physical media also suffered from "as long as rights holders play ball", with media availability varying wildly based on expected commercial success.

At least streaming leads to faster and better availability outside complete legality and it is easier to argue abandonment when it's not available on streaming services vs technically available as low-run optical media.
With keeping the same old UX yes it is. What YouTube offers for free is very generous. There is unlimited uploads. The high resolution options are free. The site is not behind a paywall. You can make an infinite amount of playlists which each have an unlimited size. You can have unlimited tabs open. Videos get automatic transcriptions, subtitles, and translations. Your streaming does not get throttled. Every user gets their own personalized feed. etc
Same. For me it was a lesson to complain to my Dr about everything (and also to have a regular doctor).
Hey Google, I was using the plus symbol operator. And no, quotes aren't the same.

You just need to accept that "user interface design" has stopped being a thing in everything but niche/pro applications for at least the past 10 years. You have "follow the trend", yes, or "design it so it looks good on screenshots", but not "user interface design".

Accept it and you will be less frustrated.
> Do you block YouTube on your network so you don't see content from that platform? I'd wager you don't.

I don't block YouTube, I just don't use any of their official frontends. There are plenty of alternatives in this space[1]. This might not work for everyone, but I get a much better UX with these tools. Not seeing ads is one benefit, but it's also about not being a participant in training algorithms that have a, mostly negative, psychological impact.

> I am pretty sure you pay for things that bring value or make thing easier for you in life

Of course. And I happily support content creators who don't rely on advertising or Google itself. I just refuse to be forced into a corrupt business model.

Anyway, I didn't mean to antagonize you, so apologies if my response came across that way.

> This wouldn't be useful for microwave links since it is absorbed by the atmosphere and has short range.

Nit-pick; 275GHz isn't terrible for atmospheric absorption. What gets you is the phase dispersion when the humidity is high.

Everytime I see an invoice/receipt for medical services in US I cannot think anything else than the cliche "failed state".

How is it possible, that such a whealthy nation is billing tens of tousands of dollars for staying in an hospital room or a simple RTG.

In my small EU country, when I hit my foot with an axe, I went unannounced to hospital. Was takrn basically immediatelly, checked its not life threatening, got a bandage and left to wait for about 10 minutes. Then I got RTG, and set to wait another 10 minutes to stich the wound up and sent home. I paid $4 on the spot (mandatory "see doctor" fee), and thats it.

Ah I think I'm just not used to those then, I hated the whole checklist busywork that we had to do even though we were barely related to the sales infra. But yeah, it was a bit like soc2 in that regard. Is there any certification that isn't just checklist "auditing"? That involves actual monitoring or something? Not sure if that's even possible

I wouldn’t use CSS in early Internet Explorer as a good example. There were quite a few cases where they shipped something prematurely based off an early draft, then the final spec. changed, making Internet Explorer incompatible with the standards and other browsers. That’s how the box model ended up the way that it did, for example. The draft was originally border-box behaviour, Internet Explorer implemented it too soon, then the specification changed to content-box behaviour and all the other browsers implemented it.

Again, I love a good button, and I’m not arguing against them. But I also recognize that using a simple icon or word as a touch target has its benefits in many contexts. There are reasons beyond numb-headed fashion that lead to their use. The context thing is crucial - if context is already communicating something, that is usually way more powerful. After all, it’s not enough to understand that something is a button, you also have to understand what it does (or more specifically, people who have a use for it need to understand what it does, and people who don’t have a use for it need to recognize it is irrelevant to their situation). This can only be done with context.

I think the problem with your article is that you are not taking the style you’re arguing against seriously. If you think it’s always wrong and can’t see any good reason why it’s used, you will not be able to make a good argument for why to use more traditional buttons instead.

As someone from the Netherlands, the mismanagement at Philips has been almost physically painful to witness.

Philips used to be one of the big ones, like GE or Samsung. The mismanagement and slow deathmarch of a giant.

They used to own ASML, they used to own NXP, they owned Panasonic Batteries production I think, they had 30% of all shares in TSMC.

I mean you can forgive a single misstep, but if every single company you sell manages to becomes a de facto global leader in its industry the lack of foresight is something for the history books.

In hindsight, when the business men took over and moved the HQ to Amsterdam, where all the business people are, rather than in Eindhoven, where it was founded and where all the R&D and tech is, was the beginning of the end.
Yes, you can do that, but then you can express only well-typed programs in that logic. My point is, I believe, that concatenative language such as Joy doesn't prescribe a specific way to do the evaluation (or type-checking) and as such is less restrictive (or perhaps just different) than combinatory logic. This is despite the fact that they are both Turing-complete in the sense they can emulate each other (there is a subset of combinatory logic programs that correspond to concatenative language and vice versa).

I don't want to hammer on the other analogy, but perhaps your question (why not just use combinatory logic) is kind of like asking why don't we only use natural numbers, if they are set-theoretically equivalent with integers at large, and at the same time a smaller set. The reason is, of course, the integers reveal something about the structure of natural numbers (or do they artificially add this structure, which one is it, really?). I think concatenative combinators can be considered analogous to integers here.

In the text it says "covered platform knows is used by minors", "covered platform knows is a minor", and "platform knows is a child".

> The term “know” or “knows” means to have actual knowledge or knowledge fairly implied on the basis of objective circumstances.

Is this part the reasonable belief? Or is it that the ambiguity will cause companies to age gate to try to protect themselves?

Though I don't see how an age gate would even protect companies. Say a minor lies on the age gate, illegitimately uses the site, and their parent calls in angry.

The company now knows their service is used (illegitimately) by minors, do they then have to implement protections?

Why hasn't an epic biopic of George Washington been attempted?
> Almost all the time, when Washington had the chance to do something really dramatic, legendary or crazy, he didn't end up doing it. He didn't sack Boston, he never got the decisive victory in New York he wanted (or really any major tactical victories), he never caught Benedict Arnold and hanged him, he didn't sign the Declaration of Independence, when the British finally surrendered General Cornwallis didn't even show up and so Washington for status reasons refused to personally accept the surrender and instead the British surrendered to this other random guy who was there. He didn't take over the Constitutional Convention himself too directly, he didn't declare himself King, his biggest contribution to American politics was gracefully resigning. Even with slavery he was neither the kind of slaver you would expect him to be nor the kind of freedom-lover you would hope he would be, because a lot of it was just through his wife's family. What, you want to watch a rich slaver guy renovate his house? He did a lot of that.
And a vacancy tax would force developers to finish projects or abandon them completely so someone else can at a lower price.

If it’s set where it’s cheaper to hang onto the vacancy until rents rise again and finish the build then, it’s a problem.

Nor for me; I have a 3000 square-foot house and run a single access point; I ran Ethernet to a very central place (we have a centrally located open stairwell between the two floors, which helps) and got a PoE WAP that covers essentially the whole house (if you hold your phone in the very corner of the corner rooms, you can get it to drop).
Between new and bargain bin DVDs, let’s say it averages out to the price of a streaming service. I’m paying $25/month for Hulu/Disney right now, so that seems generous.

Streaming started up around 2007. If I were to buy 1 DVD per month instead of going with a streaming service, I’d have a movie collection with 192 movies I probably really like. With many people now subscribing to 3 or 4 streaming services, that equivalent movie collection could be even bigger for the same cost.

If I were to fall on hard times and need to cut back on spending, stopping the streaming services leaves me with nothing. At $10/month, I would have paid almost $2k and have nothing to show for it. With the DVDs, I could stop buying new ones, and still have a pretty solid library to pull from.

While on one hand I agree that getting this worked up over speech is weird, Gary is a (not so) unique case in that when he is able to incite the Twitter activist mob mentality on his side, against other people’s speech, he will happily do so with no hesitation whatsoever.

A while back somebody put up some stickers with his face on an octopus and the tentacles holding his various assets. The Twitter mafia went all out saying this was clearly racist and totally unacceptable in civil society, because of some prior art where an asian individual was offensively caricaturized atop an octopus. I tired to point out that the octopus has been used as a symbol of a many faceted organization since forever, and the racist aspect of the prior art wasn’t the octopus but rather the ridiculous caricaturization. The picture of Gary used in his octopus was a totally normal photo, so the racist prior art was of no consequence. Gary somehow saw my comment and decided to launch a tweet thread telling his hundreds of thousands of followers what a terrible racist horrible idiotic person I am, which resulted in a huge hacking campaign being launched against various little personal projects I had posted on my Twitter.

Ugh.

I don’t use Twitter anymore.

What if investing in AI tech like LLMs eventually allows knowledge workers to be more productive with fewer resources, and therefore ultimately frees up more people to focus on the so-called major problems?

Maybe we can invest more human hours in speeding up the path to zero emissions and energy abundance, or re-planting deserts, or cleaning up forever chemicals / microplastics, or helping at-risk kids, etc etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if starlink doesn't at least experiment with making the satellites a big bunch of CDN nodes.

Imagine they put 10TB of flash memory on the satellites and run virtual machines for the big CDN companies (cloudflare, Google, Netflix etc).

I reckon that 10TB is still big enough to service a good little chunk of internet traffic.
Wow! Excellent execution of a damn good idea.

This is a big problem, but I am encouraged by this project. https://github.com/supabase/postgres_lsp
Please don't do “^^ this ^^”, comments are reordered here.
I've made some automatic schema dumping scripts for supabase/postgres code to become searchable and git-diffable and PR-friendly. And I eventually was able to make unit testing to work good enough that I even wrote migrations in a test-first way, it was just quicker to iterate. But overall experience felt like I'm constantly combating problems, solved looong time ago for other languages and ecosystems. It was weirdly fun, but what killed my interest is that row level security policies kill performance of even simple queries so much, and EXPLAIN doesn't help to well with it.

Not answering questions from my colleagues? No nee to be snarky, lets keep a good tone here.

Small refactorings is a good example of some code I would not write long commit messages. Like going through a function improving its clarity and adding comments – I would not redo that effort in the commit message. Text updates, style updates, etc. are also things that rarely merits big messages.

Great for you that you don't make 100 commits a day – but watch out that you don't mix disparate changes into a single commit.

AMD 29k (its descendants are still alive) has two further ADD operations:

– ADDU – IF unsigned overflow THEN trap (out of range), and

– ADDCS – IF signed overflow THEN trap (out of range).

The ADD instruction family in the HP PA-RISC 2.0 is, of course, one of the best ones out there:

ADD,cmplt,carry,cond r1,r2,t

Purpose: To do 64-bit integer addition and conditionally nullify the following instruction.

General register r1 and general register r2 are added. If no trap occurs, the result is placed in general register 1. The variable «carry_borrows» in the operation section captures the 4-bit carries resulting from the add operation. The completer, «complt», specifies whether the carry/ borrow bits in the PSW (the processor status word) are updated and whether a trap is taken on signed overflow. The completer, «carry», specifies whether the addition is done with carry in.

So, under a certain set of conditions, a PA-RISC «add» operation, other than yielding an add product, can:

– Can result in a trap on a signed overflow.

– Can nullify the following instruction.

An instruction mnemonic would like this:

ADD,DC,TSV,C,<=,N r1, r2 – «add where r1 is less than or equal to negative of r2, and trap if specified conditions (DC,TSV) were met and nullify the following instruction»

HP PA-RISC 2.0 also has an «add and branch» instruction, naturally, embellished with branch conditions, «cond»:

ADDB,cond,n r1, r2, target

If «n» flag is set, the «add and branch» will also nullify the following instruction, e.g.

ADDB,*<=,N r1, r1, label_1

There are also an «add immediate left» instruction (a left shift and add a constant) and «halfword parallel add» (adds multiple halfwords in parallel with optional saturation).

How does one encode all of that with a «+» operator?

What about adding two decimals? The decimals are not used in modern CPU architectures, but they used to be a commonplace and were encoded by completely separate instructions.

The bottom line is: the assembly language is a slightly more human friendly (e.g. «add r1, r2, r3») interface into the bit code (e.g. a fictional opcode of «0xf500010203» for «add r1, r2, r3») and, consequently, into the internal CPU machinery and its state, and is not a high programming language nor a testamenet to the laws of mathematics.
