Of course not. We have so many more regulations and social programs today than we did in 1890. The federal budget per person absolutely dwarfs it today!
Not necessarily. Often rf modules are pre-certified mostly to show that the hardware implementation and radio modulation and all that works as intended. Eg no spurious emissions, transmits at the freq you ask for etc.

What gp asks for is that regulation requires either polite transmissions aka listen before talk aka clear channel assessment, ie before we send, listen for a while and back off if channel is busy. If LBT isn't used, there's a maximum allowed transmission duty cycle stated.

Zigbee typically uses LBT, Lora doesn't. Hence, a clear zigbee channel may result in a very chatty lora channel.

And another problem is the difference in bandwidth, where zb uses 250kbit/s at 2.4 GHz and a transmission may take on the order of a millisecond, Lora even on minimum spread takes hundreds of ms, on max spread a single transmission can take several seconds.

This limits the scalability of lora networks in dense physical deployments. Lora primary use case is the once-a-day-ish sensor transmission.

I've always considered this a much more motivating principle than all the world's religions combined (though Buddhism's take on suffering is informative).

The rest of the article appears to be describing that a bug is actually caused by a race condition and use-after-free is simply a consequence of it.
The Rust programs I work on are aren't primarily web programs, but most of them have HTTP interfaces for command, control and/or monitoring. Some of these are API-only, but some actually have serve up tiny HTML/Javascript apps too.

Eh I mean Google moved GCP's revenue around because Microsoft was doing that to make Azure look bigger than GCP. If you can't beat em, join em. Google's got long term contracts with a lot of companies and the government, so GCP isn't going to shut down anytime soon. Their consumer products division has problems with product longevy, but we're not paying them corporation level money or signing serious contracts when buying a Stadia subscription. So it's just business.

What I've heard is Azure is a pain in the ass, and things take three times as long to set up there, for some reason. There's also Oracle cloud but you hear way less about them. out there.

It's certainly possible to start new cloud providers - there are a bunch of smaller-scale VM providers. In the GPU cloud business there's companies like lambdalabs and runpod.

But the fattest profit margins are in selling to big corporations. Big corporations who already have accounts with the likes of AWS. They already have billing set up, and AWS provides every cloud service under the sun. Container registry? Logging database? Secret management? Private networks? Complicated-ass role management? Single-sign-on integration? SOC2/PCI/HIPAA compliance? A costs explorer with a full API? Everything a growing bureaucracy could need. Getting your GPU VMs from your existing cloud provider is the path of least resistance.

The smaller providers often compete by having lower prices - but competing on cost isn't generally a route to fat profit margins. And will folks at big corporations care that you're 30% cheaper, when they're not spending their own money?

nvidia could definitely launch a focused cloud product, that competes on price - but would they be happy doing that? If they want to get into the business of offering everything from SAML logon integration to a managed labelling workforce with folks fluent in 8 languages - that could be a great deal of work.
Not in the UK (passthrough sugar tax)
Microsoft and AWS would have a partnership with AMD/Intel for their GPUs, if those are capable and widely used as Nvidia's.

Microsoft has partnetship with OpenAI and also with Mistral.

Present convenience may not hold true in future. Nvidia knows that well.
I like this bit:

If he shows up some day in a particularly foolish mood, you are free to either ignore him or to take advantage of him, but it will be disastrous if you fall under his influence. Indeed, if you aren’t certain that you understand and can value your business far better than Mr. Market, you don’t belong in the game.

Makes me think of all the CEOs who are firing and slowing down market acquisition atm just because of "market conditions", even though they should presumably know their company better than the market does. Either they all think their companies are scams or they don't know their companies enough to say and convince their investors otherwise.

Simplistic valuation is not particularly useful. Take even just 1 more factor into account, Japan's tremendous debt and multiple lost decades and inevitable nightmare situation. Toyota basically doesnt exist until they built their bzx4 factor in the usa. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-27/fears-of-...

From the public information I know about Toyota, they are about 15 years behind Tesla.

Comparatively VW is probably only about 5 years behind now. GM/Ford are about 7 years.

So is tesla more valuable? It's practically infinite money more valuable. GM could spend $100 billion to try to catch up and could not. Its not about money, it's about the people who work for them.

macOS Sonoma 14.4 Bug 'Destroys Saved Versions in iCloud Drive'
That bothers me every time there was an incident and someone explains that "this organization has under-invested in cybersecurity".

From my perspective, it is just as likely that overinvesting in cybersecurity is problematic. Nobody is more secure for buying more products, especially if the existing products are underutilized or undermaintained.

Not even the talking heads or our industry pretends to be interested in minimizing attack surface anymore. We're just supposed to buy "more security".
It take less people to mine, process, and produce a billion tonne of steel today than it did in the 1970s.

Also don't forget how fast 100 years actually goes. It not a long time.

There is a limit to all of this though, there's absolutely no way 10 billion people colliding with the climate crisis will end well. We'd be better off with 6 billion efficient people than 10 billion starving and thirsty "workers".

That's always been a basic philosophy of mine: "If I don't need it, I don't collect it."[0]

It's surprising (to me) that this has actually caused working partners to get peeved at me. They want to occasionally do things, like see when people originally signed up (for example, we keep last activity, but not original inception. Last activity is important for doing things like culling cruft, but there's really no use in knowing when someone signed up -except for vanity metrics).

If the "need" is "Occasionally want to look at vanity metrics," then that (to me) does not count as "justifies holding onto data."

Invest 100% into product and 0% into security: you get a product and have a chance to build something that fits a valuable market.

While I'm no expert, I'm under the impression that the leadership of most 3 letter agencies can participate in the "revolving door", where bought and paid for politicians can extend their own benefits and the benefits to their owners by taking high paid, leadership roles in certain agencies. This leads to most agencies having the same kind of "is someone paying me not to do this" culture around actually fixing things.

We've got a few different CAPTCHA types at the moment, all running on a distributed network of nodes with no user tracking.

What unis would that include? Isn't ATI Canadian? Therefore i'd expect lots of UToronto and Waterloo people there. Aren't they some of the best in this field?
Certainly it is a question of degrees.

But to say the gap in safety is very small is essentially to say Rust's lifetime system is close to zero-value.

Unsafe code still exists, the goal is to localize it to small, auditable blocks. However safety often depends on non-local properties. For example, unchecked iteration over a vector requires we know the vector's lifetime exceeds the iteration lifetime, and that the backing buffer won't change. Rust's lifetime system allows this to be expressed, so the "critical zone" can be localized within a single block in the library implementation. If the library is correct, all consumers are safe. In C++, these cannot be expressed, so the critical zone for this safety guarantee is smeared across all code executed during the iteration. No consumer is guaranteed safe.
Reading between the lines, I see the great institutions are doing the same things the small universities that I worked at also do... do not admit failure. It is amazing that proverbially across campus in the psych or history or sociology departments, I bet they can tell the uni a thing or two about admitting failure and moving on, making you (or the institution) better. Truly I tell you, this makes me feel sad.

I saw Jonathan Haidt's new book on the subject. I havent read it but I expect he's throwing the blame at the feet of social media and mobile devices.

In my opinion he's blaming what's holding things together. Humans are social beings and social media gives you a weaker form of social interaction. Whereas in person social interaction is what is necessary.

>Data were collected from 2002 to 2020 and only included responses given when participants were between the ages of 45 and 65.

Completely useless. Why ruin your research this badly? Why focus on the least impacted age cohorts?

Lets consider why we have so much less in person social interaction.

If we go back in time to when it wasnt a problem. Where did people get this done?

Church attendance is at record lows? I know im not religious, only spiritual. Good ole government is behind this one.

Bar? Government has basically ended that in the name of MADD.

SMoke breaks? Government basically ended that because of Lung cancer.

So basically government came in and "unintentionally???" ended in person social interaction. Now we have a loneliness epidemic and it's going to take 1 sweet talking libertarian to tear the government down.

Thank you so much. Logo was the first computer language I learned. Incredible implementation in asm.
Not sure it's fair to characterize modern LLMs as 'wasteful software development" or unoptimized. The implementations do quite an impressive level of optimization with what hardware is available. New theoretical methods w.r.t quantization represent most of our software optimization techniques and we're probably hitting the limit of that shortly with ternary or binary gates.

To your point enthusiasts and developers with strong financial motivation have fairly optimized code. AI definitely falls into the later group. These are not like your typical web app :)

So how should knowledge be shared in academia without publishing? Any work worthy of a Nobel Prize (or more likely, a Turing Award) is built on top of significant amounts of other research that itself wasn't so groundbreaking.

That said, I certainly think that researchers can do more to make their code and data more accessible. We have the tools to do so already but the incentives are often misaligned.
