The eventual end game is a self replicating machine.

It'll start with just businesses owning the prototypes of them but once common folk know that such a machine is possible they'll build one themselves and then use it to build as many as they want.

If it's a very large machine it will be miniaturized until it fits inside the human body and everyone will have synthetic ribosomes that can be used to produce whatever they want provided they have access to enough energy and raw material.

What happens then is anyone's guess.

Because software is information. It is closer to a scientific paper than a loaf of bread, and I do expect those to be free. I do not expect scientists to work for free, but the marginal cost of copying their output is 0 and the social benefit is huge.

Free software, like open science, clearly has something going for it pragmatically. The developer hours put into it have paid for themselves magnitudes of times over. Megacorps hire people to work on free software. If you can't see the value, that's a you problem.

Like removing the UI option to turn off Javascript? In fact they've now made it near impossible to turn off Javascript in a running window. (You can turn it off before it begins to run, but it used to be possible to turn it off after it had already started running, say to populate a page that you wanted to look at). When has a revenue-generating "test" ever been reversed?

Anyway, what info that advertisers are currently getting, will be withheld from them under the new regime? If they will get everything they got before, plus more stuff besides, that can only make things worse. Most of us think that it's plenty bad already.

> That way, legitimate advertisers get the limited conversion rate information they desperately want from enough people who aren't interested one way or the other, and those who are diametrically opposed to the entire concept are perfectly able to turn it off before their first browsing action.

By that logic, it's ideal for the Mafia to recognize a "do not kidnap" button that anyone diametrically opposed to kidnapping could choose to wear. They are then free to kidnap anyone not wearing the button. I could accept it being the other way around (they can kidnap you if you wear an opt-in button) though I'd hope they get few takers.

In fact, the statistical "great unwashed" info does tons of damage in its own right, and that's why it's not ok to simply exclude a few self-selected outliers. Shoshana Zuboff's book "Surveillance Capitalism" goes into this. They want to make behavioural predictions about whole populations, and "differential privacy" is one of the obfuscations they use to sell invasions that enable that. Disclaimer: I haven't read the book yet--it's been on my list for a long time. I got the above info (about predicting population behaviour) from reading an online interview with the author. IDK if she mentions differential privacy specifically. That conflict is my own interpretation.

the goal is to remove barriers. reflecting the population implies that every job should have 50/50 gender parity. i don't think that should be a goal unless there is a benefit, such as in school where children need both male and female role models.

We generally spell out titles for doctors or others in the medical field. PHD, MD, DDS, DO, OBGYN, etc.

The customer for this L402 protocol is obviously a media network, especially ebooks, and plausibly an alternative to spotify, applemusic and closer to the bandcamp model, content providers of all kinds who are currently subject to the chokepoint of payment processors. Emerging use cases would be domain specific LLMs trained on proprietary data sets in health, legal, accounting, and other professions. What it needs is a new there there on the other side of it.

The objection to PoW is thinly veiled objection to tying it to physical value instead of policy. The objection would be the same for gold. What they object to is physical constraints on political authorities, and these sort of "bitcoin bad!" comments should not be admitted to spoil serious discourse.

The economic case for PoW is that it converts any source of energy anywhere in the solar system to transferrable stored value. It would make a lot of space based energy harvesting projects economically viable, but also remote hydro projects that can't transmit electricity long distances, but can absolutely provide compute as an economic service from long distances and make the a local hydro system economically viable. PoW tokenizes electricity via compute. It's a very elegant idea, and the opposite of environmentally unsustainable because it actually rationalizes the price of electricity with endogenous demand.

The same people objecting to bitcoin micropayments schemes also object to nuclear because it would actually solve the zero-sum problem narratives they want to sustain and manage. These views are not without controversy, and personally I reject them on principle.

True, I forgot about the earthquake in Italy that resulted in a bunch of seismologists being jailed and prosecuted for not predicting it.

Still, it seems like those parts of Europe (outside of Turkey, which isn't really in Europe) don't have large earthquakes, otherwise all those ancient buildings like the Coliseum and Parthenon would have completely collapsed by now.
OM Systems owns the old Olympus IP and makes cameras, though so far they're mostly just minor improvements of existing Olympus models. We'll see if they bring out a new camera this year. But the OM-1 MK II is actually a pretty compelling camera for bird photography, some excellent autofocus / bird-detection features. And weather proofed.

M43 also lives on fine in Panasonic's lineup. Logitech just released a M43-mount $1000 live streaming cam ("Mevo Cam"). And like you say, the standard is open. I don't think it will die. The compactness of the lenses and their relatively lower price makes a lot of sense esp for new entrants (see "Alice Camera" etc).
> Pi, if an infinite stream of digits and with the prime characteristic it is normal/random, will, at some point include itself, by chance.

A normal number would mean that every finite sequence of digits is contained within the number. It does not follow that the number contains every infinite sequence of digits.

In general, something that holds for all finite x does not necessarily hold for infinite x as well.

My solution to this problem is to focus on structure and references only. Eliminate inheritance and other conventions. Have functions as first class citizens and procedures as first class citizens too.

A procedure is essentially just a block of code. It takes no input and returns no output. In a lexically scoped language with block scope then procedures provide scope no differently than functions. If procedures can be called from a variable reference then imagine how clear the code becomes.

Example

if (something > something_else) procedure_here else other_procedure;

Other example

let old = {whatever;};
let young = {young_stuff;};
if (age > 40) old else young;

The program code suddenly becomes more declarative to read than most declarative languages/conventions. Don't be fooled as this is still highly imperative.

When reading code becomes more narrative and less syntax it becomes more visual the same way reading books becomes more visual with practice reading books. For some people programming is already incredibly visual. It is for me, but not most people.
A 10GB string does sound pathologically large; however it's an argument about the absurd.

What size is for sure enough? Well I'm not so sure. What if someone has a lot of titles. What if society decides that someone's Legal Name requires a post quantum cryptography key that happens to be 20MB (binary) long?

Also, FYI, at least PostgreSQL doesn't give you a free lunch for any variable length string; length requirements are a column constraint that DEGRADES performance because it has to check.

An external name validator of some sort could check things. Commonly allowed cases could pass by computer check, while actual humans could review edge cases. Someone trying to abuse the name field like that probably needs human review elsewhere anyway.

When it’s a security review and something is on paper, there is now documentation of potential liability.

> Is it weird how the comments here are blaming AMD and not Nvidia?

Nvidia has put in the legwork and are reaping the rewards. They've worked closely with the people who are actually using their stuff, funding development and giving loads of support to researchers, teachers and so on, for probably a decade now. Why should they give all that away?

> But there are counterexamples that suggest otherwise (Android).

How is Android a counterexample? Google makes no money off of it, nor does anyone else. Google keeps Android open so that Apple can't move everyone onto their ad platform, so it's worth it for them as a strategic move, but Nvidia has no such motive.

> Even if AMD made their own version of CUDA that was better in every way, it still wouldn’t gain adoption because CUDA has become the standard.

Maybe. But again, that's because NVidia has been putting in the work to make something better for a decade or more. The best time for AMD to start actually trying was 10 years ago; the second-best time is today.
No. If there's a just peace, Ukraine will not continue killing Russians. And, honestly, if Russia ever does manage to conquer all of Ukraine, the resistance at that point will probably be low-level terrorism, similar to what the US experienced in Iraq.
Up-Side-Down Physics: Dynamic Equilibrium and the Inverted Pendulum (2020)
"In his enforced free time, to while away the hours, Kapitsa developed an ingenious analytical approach to the problem of dynamic equilibrium. His toy example was the driven inverted pendulum. It is surprising how many great works have emerged from the time freed up by house arrest: Galileo finally had time to write his “Two New Sciences” after his run-in with the Inquisition, and Fresnel was free to develop his theory of diffraction after he ill-advisedly joined a militia to support the Bourbon king during Napoleon’s return. (In our own time, with so many physicists in lock-down and working from home, it will be interesting to see what great theory emerges from the pandemic.)"
> The rest of the world just blindly goes about their day using Windows while surfing the web using Chrome.

Paying for Windows? I think you missed my point. If your computer doesn't ship with an OS, paid or otherwise, people think it's a glitch. The average consumer will sooner return their laptop before they buy a license of Windows, create an Install Media from their old device and flash the new hardware with a purchased license. They'll get a Chromebook instead, people don't buy Windows today.

The internet has conditioned the majority of modern technology users to reject and habitually avoid non-free experiences. Ad-enabled free platforms and their pervasive success is all the evidence you need. Commercial software as it existed 20 or 30 years ago is a dead business. Free reigns supreme.
The problem with making it a crime (it probably already is a crime) is that the blame will be placed on the developer when it probably was not the fault of the developer.

In these types of situations I’ve been in, usually the developers already complained, and it’s really not the fault of the developers.

This creates this weird situation where developers have to do more and more to protect themselves from situations like this.

It doesn’t take more than a few seconds of thinking to realise that google should have made some kind of way for authentication to be transitioned over. Even something as simple as sending out a “transfer” email link or even just an api that squat space could have called to allow customer transfer verification.
My father is in his mid 70's with bladder cancer and is now going down the immunotherapy path completely aware that this is still essentially a new thing with bugs to be figured out.

At this point the best we are hoping for is a few more years but understand if it doesn't work out. It is still wild to see where we are going. While I am skeptical of many technological claims that get thrown around nowadays, medical advances are still plodding along wonderfully. Even if at times it can be two steps forward, one step back.
> And even if the Russians withdraw tomorrow and give back all the land that they have conquered the Ukrainian people will continue to kill Russian warcriminals from afair with drones that they either smuggle in mail to Russia.

This is an absolutely ridiculous claim to make. Especially as if the scale of these is supposed to match the horror and awfulness of russia's ongoing invasion or hypothetical contested occupation.
Do you and cupertino work in the same office? Both of you are peddling the same talking points. It's the same thing in every israel related thread. All over social media. More american tax dollars at work I suppose.

That's embarrassing given the decades long pro-israel propaganda campaign and the nearly 100% political backing.

But me and my 'remarkably absurd logic'. Using my 'remarkably absurd logic', I'm guessing this thread is flagged because the 'antisemites' who run this site don't want to see the outpouring of love of israel. Every israel related thread must be flagged because of the impending pro-israel comments from americans. Right?

Every social media platform censors because they don't want americans to drown israelis with love. It all makes sense now.

Imagine I'm using pi = 3 (accuracy of 1 significant figure) that's an error of about 4.5% of π(pi), 3.1 is only 1.3% 3.14 only 0.05% with the error decreasing with each additional significant figure.

Imagine there's a circle with radius 1m and you've got a calculated bearing to it calculated using pi = 3 . In the worst case in 2 dimensions for every meter you walked you could be walking off to the side ~0.0225 meters (napkin maths) from where the circle really is, so it would only take the circle being ~45m away for you to walk right by it rather than through it. With pi =3.1 you're diverging ~0.0066m per meter so the circle would need to be ~152m away before there was a chance you'd miss it. 11 digits of pi gets you about 3 light years of walking before you had a chance of missing.

They were discussing (with a large degree of understatement,as discussed by others above) that this value of pi gives great precision in these kinds of calculations.
I remembered the return value incorrectly. It's even better in that it returns a pointer to the byte immediately AFTER the last written. So remove the - 1. PS: there's also a version which works with wchar_t types (be it 2, 4 or whatever else)
