> Mainframes were meant, yes?

No not at all. We’re talking early-mid 1980s so people in the research community (at least at the leading institutions) were by then pretty used to what’s called cloud computing these days. In fact the term “cloud” for independent resources you could call upon without knowing the underlying architecture came from the original Internet papers (talking originally about routing, and then the DNS) in the late 70s

So for example the mail or file or other services at PARC just lived in the network; you did the equivalent of an anycast to check your mail or look for a file. These had standardized APIs so it didn’t matter if you were running Smalltalk, Interlisp-D, or Cedar/Mesa you just had a local window into a general computing space, just as you do today.

Most was on the LAN, of course, as the ARPANET was pretty slow. But when we switched to TCP/IP the LAN/WAN boundaries became transparent and instead of manually bouncing through different machines I could casually check my mail at MIT from my desk at PARC.

Lispms were slightly less flexible in this regard back then, but then again Ethernet started at PARC. But even in the late 70s it wasn’t weird to have part of your computation run on a remote machine you weren’t logged into interactively.

The Unix guys at Berkeley eventually caught up with this (just look at the original sockets interface, very un-unixy) but they didn’t quite get it: I always laughed when I saw a sun machine running sendmail rather than trusting the network to do the right thing on its behalf. By the time Sun was founded that felt paleolithic to me.

Because I didn’t start computing until the late 70s I pretty much missed the whole removable media thing and was pretty much always network connected.

The truth is that discrimination is at historic lows, which is why non-white voters are increasingly seeing through efforts to paint the country as racist. For half a decade of white liberals screeching about racism—through all of the megaphones of media they control—the allegedly racist Trump has increased his support among non-whites year after year. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

The “post-truth” idea is that of a “racist” country is what’s being peddled by white people on NPR. It’s bigger, more significant, and more fundamental than Trump’s “big lie” about the election.

I don’t know about the bright side, but I’m on the right side. I grew up in, from my perception, a society where racial classifications didn’t matter. Instead of trying to extend that to everyone, white liberals are now trying to reimpose racial categories on my kids. They’re fighting for the legal right to discriminate against Asians. All out of some warped sense that it’s 1963 again. Like soldiers coming out of their trenches not knowing the war has ended.

I’m not optimistic. They command so much power in our institutions that I think when all is said and done, they will have poisoned a generation of kids into seeing race and racism where it doesn’t exist.

That's probably justified, but TikTok IS far more addictive than the competing western developed apps, particularly with children and the young. The EU would also be pushing them if it was developed elsewhere.

Many signal/slot implementations are done synchronously without any event loop involved, the two are somewhat orthogonal. Even Qt will call the signals synchronously most of the time without the event loop involved, it's just an additional feature of it to queue the event in the event loop.

> China is an adversary to Europe

It may be now, but not because of China, but because of the disastrous policies of the EU commission that cannibalized its own industrial base.

> European security is dependent on American guarantees

It is now, because De Gaulle and Adenauer were under massive attack by the Atlanticists when they tried to establish a sovereign European security infrastructure. The CIA, the BND and the Spiegel actually were instrumental to that.

The crazy thing is that America would be far more powerful if it empowered its allies rather than cannibalizing them.

The LinkedIn thing was actually also for keyboards - they didn't expect anyone to actually press Shift+Ctrl+Win+Alt+L.

> They realized this with the big offshoring boom in the late 1990s.

The productivity tooling we take for granted (Github, Zoom, Slack, Salesforce, high speed internet penetration) didn't truly exist in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

> It is not. Companies have been offshoring as much labor as they feasibly can, and often more, for at least 3 decades.

Absolutely, and we've done it as well, but the pandemic was a major forcing function in the tech industry to show that you can still retain your employees whose visas renewals got stuck in the system or rejected, but still want to work for you.

A mix of coincidences (rise of Productivity SaaS, a global pandemic, Twitter mass layoffs yet semi-functional operations, extremely slow visa processing by USCIS) has caused a systemic shift in the tech industry.

A lot of old timers think it'll eventually get better - but it won't for new grads. New grad hiring has functionally stopped, because that capital can (and has) been better deployed abroad now.

This is not to say the industry is dead - if anything it's growing - but the barrier to entry is going to be much higher now. You can't just be a dropout from Spokane and finagle your way into a 6 figure entry level dev role anymore.
>selected ones, obviously

No, not obviously. If you have any evidence that the government was trying to influence which non-Chinese firm would end up owning TikTok or collecting TikTok's profits, lay it out for us. I always thought that the government was leaving that choice up to the current owners of TikTok.
How do I read the article?
Yes, but just as you need commercial stuff you also need research, and those are different things.

I think something like this will be great. It'll be fantastic to go there for a conference, it'll be fantastic to work there for two years even if you eventually go into industry, etc.

I think the problem for commercialisation is the cost of DL accelerators and I think this is what creates the enormous VC reliance, and this in turn leads to many firms being in the US. The EU probably needs some effort to bring DL accelerators closer to the semiconductor production cost-- it shouldn't be 40x what TSMC charges to make the chips, it should be maybe 2x or 3x. I don't know if that's realistic, but considering that chips are so expensive that the electricity costs aren't a big fraction of the cost anymore, I think even badly designed chips, if you get them cheaply, will do.

I think there should be a centralised location though, or well two. One for summer and one for winter, one here in Sweden, the other in Southern France or in Spain.

I like openbsd for what it is, but they do have a tendency to imply or outright say that the thing they just did is something they invented.

Like when they launched W^X (which isn't even an accurate term, because that implies that read-only non-execute pages don't exist), they basically claimed to have invented it. And they said that it was "impossible" to do on 32bit x86. Which was a surprise for those of us who had been running that on 32bit x86 for years, using grsec patches.

They defended themselves for this mis-statement by saying that they don't look at what other OSs, like Linux, do. Fair enough, but don't say you're the first to do it, then.

OpenBSD was late to the game of multiprocessing, deliberately ignoring multi-CPU machines. They only had to change their minds when suddenly consumer CPUs started being multi-core/multi-threaded. And since they have fewer developers (and not a focus on performance), they've understandably been lagging behind in this space.

I agree. The article was useful insofar as it detailed the steps they took to solve their problem clearly, and it's easy to see that many common problems are similar and could therefore be solved similarly, but I went in expecting more insight. How are the strings turned into arrays of numbers? Why does turning them into numbers that way lead to these nice properties?

Those two names, Praat & Wavesurfer are a blast from the past!

I also used both a good time ago, when I was teaching myself phonetics. I always preferred the much simpler Wavesurfer. Even back then Praat seemed like a relic from the past, although one could appreciate the effort that had gone into it.

Back when I was messing with this stuff, I was planning to build a sequence recognizer/predictor (not unlike transformer in what it does, but not in how it does it) - begining of an AI project - and wanted to start with speech as an input, so wanted to understand it (formants, fricatives, plosives, etc).

I did end up building a Qt-based real-time spectrogram for Linux that let me play with things like wideband vs narrowband spectrograms so I could visualize what they were extracting. Never did anything further with it though - part of my scrap pile of abandoned projects, although I may yet resurrect it.

Nah, it's a term used in academia.
I think apps like TikTok are designed and built like gambling apps to manipulate behavior - particularly young people - into staying engaged with the platform. That type of psychological manipulation should be regulated when children are involved, or at the very least transparent about it. TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, all of them should be closely examined.
> Perhaps burnout is as traumatic to the brain as a massive brain injury

Wouldn’t surprise me.

I had a massive psychotic break 5 years ago. I’m pretty sure it came with physical brain damage. My memory isn’t what it used to be. There are holes in it. Apparently some of it is so completely gone, I don’t know I’ve forgotten it. Usually I know if I forgot something because there is a dangling pointer to it.

Brain damage feels distinctly different. The problems from being bipolar has very sharp lines in my brain. It’s known territory. Damage is foggy, indistinct.

Things have definitely healed and I’m getting function and a few memories back. The foggy areas have mostly cleared up. It’s been an odd experience.
If everybody used a sufficiently smart editor, and used sufficiently smart codegen, and we removed all the existing breakage from our tools and infrastructure, yes. I wish I lived in that world.

TBH my money is on that never happening, but maybe we will skip to an even higher level, where the canonical format for source code is the AST rather than plain text - indentation, braces, line length, all the things that humans care about but the computer doesn’t become render settings.
The context here though is trying to make a friendlier i3/sway type wm. This is exactly the behavior we have for those with floating windows.
See, the AI funding frenzy is about extracting much more money from it in the future. IMHO it's like the 2000s internet when everything was funded by the VC and the internet was amazing, only to turn into this money extraction racket of a few apps and websites dominating %90 of everything with no fun left. They banked on rent seeking by locking down everything, to the point that nothing new is being made in SV anymore and the only new big thing in that space came from China(TikTok) and Russia(Telegram).

Would suck badly if the people who fund the current AI revolution decide that it's time to recoup their investment. It's not that they are bad people, it's just that they are not doing it as a charity.

Also, OpenAI's rationalisation for switching from non-profit to for-profit revolves around the idea that AI research is very expensive because it requires huge amount of hardware and it's not feasible to raise the required capital for this as a non-profit.

There's the solution for OpenAI becoming open: CERN for AI. Money is provided with expectation of open research.

I want to believe this doesn’t happen, but it definitely does.
It remains just as simple. The transmission model does not change as the size of application code changes.

The only thing to worry about is load balancing socket restoration when the server recovers from an outage so it’s not overwhelmed reopening all sockets simultaneously.

As for the database side you should only be concerned with changes to a select few tables and not the entirety of data. That could also be centrally managed with a script.
I would get wild too if I ever had to touch that program scripting "language" again.

That's fair I guess. That's not meant flippantly, but I don't have that experience so I can only guess. However isn't it best to assume good faith in a non threatening situation?

If this is a regular "trigger point" in real life, I can understand that as a knee jerk, but there's no danger or need for immediate reaction via email, so why judge through that lens once you've identified you're doing so?
Yes, this is getting quite exciting. There is cross-pollinisation of concepts going on (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RABXu7zqnT0 which shows a port of Python's Instructor library to https://github.com/thmsmlr/instructor_ex, https://hexdocs.pm/scholar/Scholar.html etc!).

That coupled with LiveView + (quite easy scaling in general) results into interesting opportunities.
Reading about the process, I suspect that this will be challenging to do at scale (the general issue with graphene).
A lot could be said. If there's a mistake, it was the economy not providing sufficient resources to solve this problem well. There was certainly awareness of this topic and some attempts to address it (for example North, Stephen C. "Incremental layout in DynaDAG." International Symposium on Graph Drawing, Berlin Heidelberg, 1995, or North, Stephen C., and Gordon Woodhull. "Online hierarchical graph drawing." Graph Drawing: 9th International Symposium, GD 2001 Vienna, Austria, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2002.

Successful systems like Tom Sawyer Software or yWorks have dynamic or incremental layout features. The market of course strongly rewarded work on interactive systems like Visio that were well integrated into larger platforms.

Not sure who remembers but high performance incremental constraint-based layout was one of the computer science lights that failed in the 1980s and 90s but with so many fundamental advances in technology (processors, algorithms, solvers, software platforms) and new emphasis on language-based approaches (in part due to LLMs) there might be a better opportunity now.

Anyway it's a hard problem, it's not as if nobody was aware of it.
