Yes but in the end there was corporate capture and so that resulted in engineering teams like: dev teams create the SW but has no right, DevOps team that has no idea about what is doing the software or how to do dev btw but they have all the production rights...

> now they want to send us to die in Ukraine?

I think you're misinformed or showing anti-Ukraine bias. No one would send their military there, but could get sent in aid to another EU/EEA/NATO member.

Anyway, I agree that mandatory drafting should not be reintroduced.
What people often miss when talking about how to organize work is that problems are often culturally grounded. The idea of solving a cultural issue with technical tooling is never going to work. It can be profitable selling such promises, but this approach fundamentally misses the mark.

Adopting devops, agile, scrum ritual, whatever, will never fix on a technical level something that is a cultural problem. It's a category error.
They will assume they are religious centres like the stone circles found elsewhere. In 100,000 years, the difference between 2000AD and 3000BC is quite small.

To add:

Obviously theres a context to this article in Biden's recent debate performance. As a non-USian observing it all, I understand the concern. But I wish people would remember that a national leader is just the head of of a decision-making team. They don't decide everything themselves, they lead the team and set the direction. And they almost never ever have to make decisions alone at the tempo of an adversarial debate. Its possible to imagine scenarios where Biden would have 30 seconds to make a nationally existential decision, but such things only happen in films, not real life.

Wisdom not raw power.

But his opponent is an extremely dangerous individual, so I get the concern.
I'll leave it at this: no one that works in this area agrees with you or the lowbrow/peanut gallery "NVIDIA has no moat" takes. If that doesn't give you pause then I guess you should just start a company and prove us all wrong.
A good start might be to start voting with your wallet. Stop using products from companies that have trained their models in this way.

i'm a Python main trying out neovim (using kickstart) and couple of weeks in my journey is a bit frustrating as switching between virtual environments is a hassle, jupyter notebooks aren't quite useful outside the browser and setting up the dap has been a challenge.
Setting up a fresh vscode install with all of the plugins 'launch.json's and takes me ~20 minutes at this point.

For software engineers it is hard to protest in public since Microsoft controls GitHub and many "free" OSS projects where most real contributors have left after Microsoft installed a small ruling class of otherwise unremarkable software engineers.

For Hollywood writers, artists, musicians, book authors it is much easier to protest. You could go to Redmond for a couple of weekends, camp on "One True Microsoft Way" and protest.

And the NYT would cover this, since its interests are aligned with the protesters.

> Weird that this is the top-rated comment,

The reason it is top-rated is because it sounds extremely reasonable. This is enough for most people.

I am not judging on whether the comment is correct or not, just answering why it is top-rated. I find nothing weird about it.
See Emily Nussbaum's Cue the Sun! for a history of reality television. It's older than you think (antecdants to 1940s radio), and has often been driven by budgetary considerations and writer work actions.

To Be Real: On Emily Nussbaum’s “Cue the Sun”
Gaining access to vast quantities of raw information while as the same time losing the addition of analysis by experts, verification of sources and empirical facts, and the context those can provide (rather than complementing them) is in most respects a large net negative to real knowledge in a society.

Over half of people get information from algorithmically driven and typically anonymous human-curated feeds of stories and opinions, and for a major portion of them, this has displaced journalism entirely -- with the notable exception of anyone claiming to blow the whistle which in itself has been perverting incentives.

Expecting people to read beyond the headlines has always been a tall order, but the practice is currently facing extinction while media quality is in a race to the bottom competing for the same attention.

One could for instance be dedicated to events and anecdotes by or about the dozens of people struck by lightning every month and present a credible-seeming case that lightning strikes are escalating and now an eminent danger to people at large. The reality of this has been happening across the board for even much rarer events in the last few years, in a way that some might say exploits confirmation bias.

Maybe it's a pendulum swing that will return, but at the moment the long term trend is towards a return to oral tradition and a pre-telegraph level of shared common knowledge of current events, recent history, and so on.
We definitely have more data which can be useful, but the signal-to-noise ratio has quite possibly gotten worse.
Incarceration being expensive is a feature. The drive comes from a profit motive in private prison concerns.

Sending the poor to use expensive military kit on vulnerable foreign populations and arresting the non compliant is much more profitable than just providing every one of them with shelter and job opportunities. Society doesn't optimize globally for good will, it optimizes locally for profit.
I got a good idea: Nothing ever passes the event horizon, rather as an object gets close to the event horizon the combined Schwarzschild radius of the black hole and the object will at some point cover the object, meaning the event horizon would expand and engulf the object instead of the object moving through it.

This would totally change the math around the event horizons, since then space doesn't need to be connected between the interior and exterior of the hole. The outside of the hole still would work the same, but as the hole bends space to engulf objects rather than objects moving through space to enter the hole you get a very different way to look at the interior.

Not sure how the math for that would work, but it is fun to think about. Also this is obviously true, for any particle that point would happen before it enters the current radius, so the hole expands out, even if it is by an extremely small amount that is still enough to change the math around the event horizon singularity.

Edit: The main thing this changes is that now the particle doesn't have to accelerate to the speed of light as it passes the event horizon, as the event horizon expands to cover it rather than it accelerating through. As you can understand that is a massive change, it means that space inside the black hole could remain sane without breaking GR. The infinite time dilation you get at those gravity levels is why the math for space and time inside of black holes is so strange, remove that and you can get back to sanity.

It's not just demographics.
People tend to make social abd economic connections over time, and to be actual mover and shaker you do need key supporters.

That's where democracy also fails. The shorter you're around, the lower chance people heard about what you've done and who you are, no matter how good or bad you are at something.
(Same applies to functionaries often enough.)
Being a government official is also a terrible job, especially for a young ambitious person.

Low numbers of young people also make it hard to push out people who still are in power. It's a direct consequence of demographics.
There's much more profit in incarceration in general than just running private prisons. The whole system, much like the industrial military complex, is geared towards spending tax money on expensive contracts. There are no private wars out there (yet), it doesn't make defense any less profitable.
But young people, who are more ambitious and less established are also more willing to take a chance on young and ambitious people. I don't see how this is unconnected to demographics.
I hope you hear yourself bud
Firefox on Android is NOT amazing. For MANY YEARS the user agent included the exact model of your phone. They seem to be incompetent.

Iron ore is iron oxide, not elemental iron.

Elemental iron on Earth is extremely rare due to the oxidizing atmosphere. It is found either in meteorites, or so called telluric iron deposits (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_iron), which is only found on Greenland, and was produced by iron ore getting accidentally smelted by magmatic processes.
The other issue is accumulated toxic damage we cannot fix at all.

When did we phase out leaded petrol?
(We haven't fully, but you get the idea...)
When did people mostly stop smoking carcinogens and heavy metals?
When did we start, or stop, using toxic azo dyes for clothing?
Or particular fireproofing or plasticizing chemicals that are endocrine poisons?
Or the latest plague, which hit a lot of people in the brain?

While any of those things is not predictive enough at individual level due to genetic variance, statistics of big numbers show delayed correlations that heavily imply causation, while high dose studies show obvious toxicity of this kind. And when such chronic damage happened 20-30 years ago there's not that much our medicine can do yet.

We cannot even reactivate a thymus (major gland of the immune system) well yet en masse. Or fix or reliably help livers.

"Live sports are headed to streaming services, and audiences are ready" <https://www.nielsen.com/insights/2022/live-sports-are-headed...>

Pretty weird to think that running a web server also means you should operate "a geographically distributed network of proxy servers and their data centers".

I also think it's pretty weird to defend thoroughly defect software with "waste ful, sure, but hardly that big a deal".
IMO The rule of law derives from precedent. Prior to courts there was the rule of the monarch. The common law then developed as courts resolved disputes. It was all gap. The authorities would say the accused did something wrong and should be punished, and the courts came up with things like “murder” and “negligence.” Statutes are a relatively new way of making laws. They’re crude. Rather than simply resolving a real dispute based on the facts of an actual situation (and limiting the scope to the same or similar situations), legislators twiddle their thumbs and prospectively guess at what situations might occur and which words may address a multitude of unpredictable nuances. Statutes are pretty terrible because they’re so hard to refine. If a situation bumps against the plain language of a statute, the courts are essentially compelled to absurd and unjust results. However, that’s democracy. The people say they want the power to make the law, they say they want the clarity of a statute over a law book, and their errors are better than an overthrow of the system.
I guess it's like someone putting water on the coals in a sauna and the people feel a huge wave of heat due to the increased heat transfer, even though they've literally cooled down the coals.
There are "normal diffusion" models that create average people with flaws in the style of a low grade consumer camera. They're kind of unsettling because they don't have the same uncanny valley as the typical supermodel photographed with a $10k camera look, but there is still weirdness around the fringes.
What are you talking about?! Nvidia has been using chiplets and silicone interconnects in the data center ML accelerators way before AMD got in the game.

It's the same TSMC tech that both Nvidia and AMD use, it's not something proprietary exclusive to one or another since they're both fables.

On the contrary, AMD has to be afraid since they have no answer to Nvidia's 800GB/s data center interconnects they got from their aquisition of Mellanox, which enables Nvidia to scale.

I was using the internet in the early 1990s (I can still find stuff archived on the web dated 1991).

I was involved in party politics in the 1980s and I saw how the sausage was made. I can tell you it's not like you see on the web today: there a lot more information available today than there was 30 years ago and it's of orders of magnitude lower quality. Don't confuse more crap with better crap.

Prior to the waves of garbage fed the masses by the internet almost everyone knew how big a factor things were. Now, discourse is gummed up by propaganda which is mainly myths of inhuman incompetence or else extremely competent conspiracy and it's not feasible to pick apart the mess because communication is hard.

Too much information make communications as difficult as too little.
Pretty sure UK needs to import uranium, too.
And the EU doesn't jump straight to the maximum penalty and gives you plenty of warnings to sort it out if you accidentally don't comply in a subtle way. If it's noncompliant in a subtle way that doesn't actually cause a problem they certain won't even notice.

Look how blatantly Apple ignored the DMA and how long it's taken the EU to pursue real enforcement action. It seems clear: there is no need to *fear* EU penalties unless you are dead set on noncompliance. Honest mistakes don't bring down businesses due to GDPR.
If you have a similar document for how to do all that with AMD cards and could link it to me back in 2014 that'd be hugely appreciated. Because I made no headway at all on the subject.

The library writers are obviously a lot better at all this than I am, but the experience of owning an AMD card was that they literally didn't and my experience left me believing that the reasons were more specific than "no CUDA". My experience was everything compute related caused crashes.
Not necessarily complex, but the tab switcher etc is built by Firefox, and probably is what tries to load the favicons to display the icon somewhere?
They are large parts of the browser, certainly. But they don't encompass all the fun network, fetch, and caching behaviour entailed in this issue.
Banded iron formations are iron oxide, not elemental iron. Vast amounts of iron were dissolved in Earths oceans, until oxygen produced by photosynthesis oxidized it, to form iron oxide, which precipitated and sank to the bottom. This process went on for 2.5 billion years until all the dissolved iron was consumed.
Someone should do this, scrape everything Microsoft (don't forget MSN news), then create an online chat bot trained on all their data. Tout it all over the web. Then sit back and watch how quickly Microsoft moves to get it taken down.

Yes the proposal is quite interesting. But do you really think a 60 year old software developer will want to work in a social service job? He was working his ass off for 40 years in daily scrums or so and then he should be doing social work in a retirement home or hospital? Retirement is done of a special reason, because people want to stop working and not because they want to change into a social service.

My suggestion: Let people start part time retirement with 55 and train and consult the next generation that comes after them. Then the loss of knowledge is avoided and when they are 65 just leave them alone in their retirement. They have deserved it well. If someone wants still to work, good for him, but a mandatory social service sounds to me like slave labour and the votes at the next elections will come in. There is a reason why the ultra right are so strong in the east of germany.

This isn't a very constructive comment. Are we supposed to believe that one can never criticise any piece of software, ever, on the off-chance that some other piece of software, somewhere, once contained a similar issue?
That looks incredibly fake, to be fair.
"I think that with respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the 1990s has been it is fair use"

And that social contract did not include AI. You put content on the internet because you had certain expectations on how it'll be seen or used.
Depends on the use case. For a lot of cases you may not need a framework at all. A library like jQuery to smooth out DOM API horrors is probably a good idea anyway.

I'm not too thrilled about Vue or svelte either. But there are differences. Vue is more "relaxed" with state and effects, and svelte (and Vue 3) go the compilation route to keep the illusion a bit better. Both can get nasty quickly, with complilation hacks playing significant part.

For a current small project I started with Vue (mainly for Quasar) but switched to React due to Vue magic starting to break. Now useMemo is starting to get unwieldly, so probably switching to SolidJS or Preact/signals.
Why would the issue be “on iOS”? The renderer has nothing to do with how pages are fetched.
Yes, however the economic situation develops not necessarily to most people's advantage.

A (hypothetical) AI that can perform any intellectual labour at for an energy cost of 1 kWh to produce output at the quality and quantity levels of a median human working for an hour, at $0.1/kWh is going to be a better economic choice than 50% of humans on earth even if those humans cut their wage demands to the UN abject poverty threshold.

But at the same time, there's not (currently) enough electricity for 50% of the world's people to be replaced by such AI regardless of the price.

Thus energy prices rise until the machine labour is as expensive as the human labour.

But that likely results in a lot of people even above that threshold no longer being able to afford to keep the lights on.

If we only get this AI quality/cost/generality level around 2031-ish, that may be fine, because renewables are on an exponential growth curve and around then exceed current global demand all by themselves.

> Perhaps that’s why he bookended his claims with “since the 90s”

It’s exactly the same. The electricity used to render the ad (which sometimes will contain video, animations, crypto miners, and other undesirable garbage) costs me real money. If they don’t want me to block ads, stop serving me ads with garbage in them.
