You don't need to look so far away: tax breaks for R&D are still a thing, in the 70s and 80s they were even more important for these giant companies. Government contracts were also a big income source for Xerox, AT&T, IBM, and others. Moreover, research labs were basically a method for companies to move discoveries from publicly funded Universities into private hands. They naturally benefited from receiving graduates and discoveries that started on publicly funded research institutions.
Excellent news - I'll ask abt an intro
Awesome. Can I ask the name of your company?
The OP means that kids raised by married parents have better life outcomes. The policy proposals that would follow from this (e.g. restricting divorce) are right-leaning positions outside the overton window.

But even beyond a specific policy proposal, there is a viewpoint in right-leaning circles that atomized individualism has caused lasting damage to the fabric of society and needs to be reigned in.

(NB: I can't speak to whether the claim that kids have better outcomes because their parents are married is actually true, as there are obvious confounders there)
Perspective: the S&M folks he's complaining about, don't even think at all about users holding products. Seriously, it's all spreadsheets and powerpoint, because they've never built anything with their hands, never worked on a team, and never worked on a "factory floor" (e.g. live server/database, etc).

Steve Jobs and his generation all soldered boards that went to paying customers.
Elon Musk slept on the NUMMI factory floor to deal with "production hell."
Bill Gates personally debugged MS-DOS.

The "bean counters" are not bad people, but doing this stuff creates a humility about quality and quality process, and not doing this stuff lulls people into a distaste/disdain/disrespect for it.

Analogously, engineers who've never been responsible for financial statements literally don't appreciate the work to get them materially correct, let alone meet legit regulatory requirements because someone somewhere cheated in counting inventory or money or whatever.
Distributed blockchain applications are normally unnecessary when they are used though, and absolutely overkill when applied with distributed proofs. Very often a network only needs a secured channel to operate, which can be established with much lower overhead than a blockchain. Currency seems to be the only application that would respect such extreme security measures, and that's really only highlighted the low throughput and capacity problems.

I really do feel the same about blockchains as I do about cryptocurrency. Both have extremely limited applications that appear marketable and attractive to nerd-adjacent circles, but only show their drawbacks once fully invested.

The intention behind creating a blockchain (or even some cryptocurrency) is pure in it's inception. The application of both technologies is so messy that I would recommend most people stick with simpler options.

Have you tried asking it for a specific concrete length, like a number of words? I was also frustrated with concise answers when asking for long ones, but I found that the outputs improved significantly if I asked for e.g. 4000 words specifically. Further than that, have it break it down into sections and write X words per section.

Boeing had quietly assumed many of the roles traditionally played by its primary regulator, an arrangement that was ethically absurd.

This is simply "vertical integration" applied to "regulatory capture."
this is still true of node/npm. It's also true of Cargo (Rust), Nuget (C#), and a handful of others. I'd say it's probably the _norm_ for most ecosystems to allow some form of pre/post-install execution.

Forget about "useful AI people will pay for"; the limitations of these NPUs and the immaturity of the software stacks necessary to target them means it's hard to get anything running well enough to be a cool tech demo. Good enough that people would use it for free is still a ways off, and good enough to be worth paying extra for may not even be possible on the NPU hardware Intel and AMD are currently shipping.

Bell Labs could do this because their parent company was a government sanctioned monopoly that didn't have to worry about about mundane problems like quarterly earnings. Xerox had the copier machine market pretty well to itself for a good 20 years which enabled them to fund PARC (sure, there were some competitors in that time, but they weren't taking a huge bite out of Xerox's profits yet).

I think Apple could've done this a few years back when they had something like $100B cash on hand - they could have established a research foundation and provided it with funding that would've lasted for long enough for it to become self sustaining. Maybe Apple still could do this as they've got $73B cash on hand. $10B would go a long ways towards establishing an institution like this. Even better if other FAANG companies joined by providing seed funding, but maybe that looks too anti-competitive these days? (the incentive for providing initial funding could be a stipulation that funding companies get a break on IP license fees)

Of course, as someone else mentions in this thread, this institution should learn from PARC's mistakes and do a better job of licensing their IP in order to keep operating for a longer term.

I suspect we really need something like this. Bell Labs (and PARC) gave our economy a technological boost that it wouldn't have had without them. Maybe a revitalized SRI (with some additional outside funding) could become what you're talking about?

That’s nonsense.

>if there were an industrial research lab again that doesn’t demand immediate ROI

wasn't for example OpenAI exactly that? The difference from the old times here seems to be that any advances are easily monetized today due to gigantic VC available, and thus the immediate ROI demand immediately arises from inside - from the employees, from the CEO down to lowest rank-and-file, who see the immediate potential to turn the advance into billions on the spot. Imagine if Alan Key and his colleagues could turn their inventions into billions in the next few months after making those inventions - I doubt they would have let Jobs to take the tour and practically steal the IP.

I think “violence” is at times such a silly measuring stick for modern justice.

Yeah, one of the reasons I'd want to actually see an example is because I imagine those policies make the situation better but not good; like you say, they're mitigations; the causal arrow is bad situation -> policy, not policy -> bad situation.

I have increasingly come to the belief that mediating our life experiences and social interactions through apps isn't good for us.

> The general "left leaning" mood is also to provide services that help single-family households to mitigate issues for children anyway, so I think it's much more of a nuanced "lesser of two evils" position to support things like divorce being available.

That's a good way to put it. In contrast, the right leaning mood would be to strengthen social cohesion, increase support that people have from families, neighbors, and so on, and decrease the impersonal, systemic "services" provided by some bureaucracy.

Not arguing, just describing. I see virtues and problems in both approaches.

As fuming as I am, there are I think 30 attempts and 7 successes out of 100k males per year? so we still need to prove that it is above average. And above average of the median cryptocurrency owner, because they may have a risk profile too.

What do you mean by "down hill"? Boeing has developed incredible technologies since the MD merger. They have been profitable w/ these technologies. You make a claim they were going down hill, what do you mean?

I have a number of family members that work for Boeing, that have been in executive management, engineering and research. None of them ever mentioned MD as being the beginning of a decline.

All of them tell a different story. The problems began with James McNerney. Harry Stonecipher came from MD, and was one of the best CEO's to ever touch that company. The 787 wouldn't have been a thing if it were not for McNerney.

If you make a claim, back it up.

That said, I bought Boeing stock and held over that time frame. I did so because I could see that humans were going to need more planes over the long term, and there are only two vendors. Also I visited the Everett plant with my family on vacation. It didn't occur to me that it would be worthwhile introducing KPI BS and McDonald's management style when constructing things worth 100 million and safety-critical.

These are kind of two different things though. The challenges of encapsulating a wire protocol to display video like HDMI and using a protocol like ATSC 1.0, which has support for subchannels that send effectively arbitrary bitstreams that in the case you linked, happens to be fragmented h.264/h.265 that the TV already has codec support for. 80 mbit for sub-ms latency, lossless encoded HDMI is a non-starter. 80 mbit for sub-200ms lossy encoded video streams? Yeah, let do 100.
They are right in this case though, aren’t they? Yes, they have their biases. But they are public funded. So there is a degree of freedom that the standard would not have. This is the main distinction. The standard is the equivalent of the soviets owning their newspapers but with an oligarchic angle.
Wait a minute, a lot of those transistors are switching the same currents since they are in series. Also, FETs only draw most current while switching, so in between switches there's almost no flow of electrons. So in fact you cannot calculate things that way.
I am more interested in the author's blog navigation, so cool!

Well, at some point the answer will be "don't".

Specifically, either don't plug wireless devices on the trusted network, or have some procedure that makes it damn sure any such device will be unusable when the ship is running.

We have some ways of protecting against malicious firmware, but the kind of consumer hardware that gets those is so complex and flawed that you are better without. If the hacker needs full physical access to the ship before the attack, you are about as good as you can get.
Hmmm, just because the schematics for something are available doesn't make it "Open Source". It needs a license which enables people to re-use, rebuild, share and potentially even compete with the original.

Just having the schematic available - but with no license - is more akin to "source available" than open source.

It's unclear what the license for the Air Gradient hardware is, as only the Terms & Conditions seem to mention anything related to usage, and it's piecemeal:

https://www.airgradient.com/terms-conditions/

Some of the points:

* Reverse engineering allowed ;) Being open-hardware, we invite makers to extend our
air quality monitors and explicitly allow additions on the hardware as well as the
software.

* Self-repair encouraged!

While that's better than typical closed source stuff, it doesn't sound like they'd be ok with someone wholesale reusing their design to launch a competing product.
What happens when Matter gets acquired? I'm sorry, but all this self back-patting is a bit too little too late for this jaded guy, especially because a thousand other companies have made the same promises in cheery blog posts, before something happens and my social security number winds up on a sticky note on some hacker's monitor in Belarus. Hell, I've worked for companies where I was forced to break users' trust because some executive critter told me to when it was clear the profit faucet wasn't opened nearly enough.

So thanks, but this isn't enough anymore. We need laws that will guarantee that every company that handles our data will do it thoughtfully and safely. In the meantime, I'm not expecting much.

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

Scott Alexander: Rootclaim $100k Lab Leak Debate
You’re right, unfortunately it is pretty standard, and I found it to be a massive waste of my time. I was the person on the data team prepping those appendix slides. Before meetings, I talked with key stakeholders to make sure I had created charts that would answer potential questions. Instead of working on strategic projects, I was herding cats and formatting charts. A lot of times I was just doing riffs off the same table or query.

This is of course for larger readouts and companies. At smaller companies & for non-critical presentations, I didn’t even have time to create appendix slides. So instead my audience ended up with a backlog of questions that would never be answered.

This is true, but disasters occur because those layers and layers get eroded until there is only one layer left which then fails.

The problem is that Boeing has eroded layers and layers and layers of that safety. The question is "How many of those layers are left?"

> I want something super lightweight and fast that can be run as close to standalone as possible.

Unfortunately, I don’t really see how you could make a standalone GUI app of meaningful scope on Linux, given the platform that “standalone” is usually defined with respect to doesn’t include a widget toolkit or even a font handling library (it does on Windows). I guess going it alone with an OpenGL viewport would work, but that’s also just setting yourself up for pain the minute accessibility, font shaping, or input methods come into the picture.

I won’t begrudge anyone writing their own toolkit or shaper, it’s just, that’s far too much work to do for the sake of being “standalone”. For the ideal of doing everything yourself, yes, I can definitely sympathize, but just getting rid of DT_NEEDED records isn’t much of an ideal.
