> Are you referring to tech giants here?

In particular, because they are the most impacted, but it's still valid for all big financial actors starting from real estate.

> This is what sounded like conspiracy to me.

A conspiracy typically is made by some who want to overthrow and substitute a power not by the those who rules against their subjects, that's instead called political agenda. As opposite to a conspiracy it's mostly public, the "sharing economy" is described everywhere, the industrie 4.0 is even a book (more than one), and so on. The agenda can be described simply as "you'll own nothing" where the "you" part means those who pronounce such sentence count to own anything and "rent" anything. In the IT world the cloud+mobile "the sole integrated platform" (actually not at all, but that's what advertised) have already "users" who own essentially nothing and very few giant owners, big enough to steer the IT world simply with their developments, in the physical world it's slowly happen "hey, try our new shiny autonomous taxis", "you do not need a car, just use our app and a car will arrive to bring you whatever you want", obviously the toward-rent trends in cities for both commercial and personal real estate that obviously does not fit much in a spread society, the ready made food downtown for the commuters instead of eating at home what personally prepared, to the point many new city "goshiwon alike" condos have essentially no kitchen but just a small fridge for bottled drinks and something to quickly heat already made food, no dishwasher, common washing machines with some kind of card-based auth to use in the condo basement and so on even "smart locks" for apartments and main entries. It's definitively NOT a conspiracy since it happen under plain Sun light publicly advertised as a good and needed evolution.

But it's not that easy to made people owning nothing, accepting things like abolish the concept of inheritance (a relatively recent PR trend, with some famous testimonials) before, stating that anyone should start with his own arms in an open arena, now stating that successions taxes should exists and be higher and higher, selling "property rights" time limited at 99-years and so on. Remote work is the rock in a running mechanism, because if it spread it obviously push most remote workers outside the expensive, degrading and chaotic city, and actually in the western world potential remote workers are a very BIG slice of the population, also a wealthy and acculturated slice. So the obvious political need is to stop it or the entire big actors common interest informal agenda will derail.

What a strange belief. I wonder how well it works out for people who buy it.
rminnich is a lot of things (including a 9front developer) but not a plan9 developer.

He is right however, you are also right: it's because Windows and Docker publish 9p server in a stupid way. It shouldn't be just the guest fs, you should be able to make any file server you like so hard links would be useless (as they are in plan9) because you would decide what filesystem organization layout you need.

You could make do with FUSE inside the virtualized OSes I guess.
easier said than done, in the general case. the work I describe in the essay does it in a narrow case, but see also https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/getting-gpt-to-work-with-e...
the common thread is rationality and an aversion to disinformation.
There are some places where I don't really have an opinion; if you work in, I dunno, pet grooming, and you and your employer agree to... "shared custody" of a device then sure. But I'm not sure that's possible in some fields. As I understand it, financial companies are legally mandated to record every single message sent/received on the machine so they can prove that nobody's doing insider trading or whatever. I would kind of expect something similar for medical field companies. I'm open to suggestions, but I can't personally see a way to uphold that obligation while giving the employees privacy if they want to use the company device to ex. check their personal email.
Well chances are people making 40k aren't renting a unit that leaves them with only a thousand a month leftover. They are probably living in that small apartment or with roomates or a significant other, the latter case halves the rent wherever you live for a 1br for example.
Completely unrelated concept: unit testing is part of a regression testing framework while OFAT is a (almost always suboptimal) test strategy for designed experiments.

E.g., the Twitch codebase

They can't change it or add new features or fix problems because it's too much of an unholy startup crack-fueled mess.

Not even companies who stole the leaked codebase can improve the horrible user experience on their Twitch clones whatsoever.
no, the booksize pcs of the time were pretty comparable to what you see today in terms of power. rpi was a bit cheaper and lower-power... but also vastly slower. Like a factor of 4x if not more (10x?).

Remember: single-core, ARMv6Z 32b, 700 mhz in-order, using USB 2.0 as a system bus and booting over that same shared 500mbps-unidirectional system bus, with 256mb memory. Versus dual-core x86 64b 1580 MHz out-of-order with a proper SOC design, and also having dedicated USB 3.0 for peripheral connectivity, with 2GB memory.

For say $80-100 loaded on a rpi vs $100-125 on a Liva/Liva X it was a no-brainer even at the time, and the liva still sipped power (because it was using e-cores). The 1B+ model improved things a little (512mb) but still, not a good showing for a product that competed directly with these x86 nettop machines.

And in the grand scheme of things... 1w idle/5w load vs 3w idle/12W load is not anything you're really going to notice, especially given the massive increase in performance it afforded.

Rpi team had great marketing. But it wasn’t the only game in town even back then. Nettops existed for a long time. They just didn't have the full-court press in the glossies.
They probably won’t give us the concrete numbers.

They definitely don’t want to get sued if they facilitate what turns out to be not just distasteful to them but potentially illegal-see the PornHub lockout by all the CC companies after it was discovered that not all the things they hosted were legal/consenting/etc.

That’s good point. The authors of the original papers the “hungry judge” idea also did work on what they call “priming” which would include what you suggest. I don’t know if that has been replicated though.

Hahaha. No marshmallow instructions for us yet but some people are using PyBaMM to model thermal runaway. We don't use an LLM but I guess could in order to catch more edge cases. There is an experiment class and a step class. Each step can be called with arguments or passed a string that equates to the same thing but you will get errors if you mistype or leave something out. https://docs.pybamm.org/en/v23.5_a/source/api/experiment/exp...

LCSC has the RK3588S at 60 USD, so the high Intel prices on Mouser might just be artefacts of general parts suppliers selling specialised high-cost parts with high markup.
As much as I hate to say it, I think Java probably has the best eaten cake implementation by far. Volatile makes sure variables stay sane on the memory side, if you only write to a variable from one thread and read it from others, then it just sort of magically works? Plus the executors to handle thread reuse for async tasks. I assume C# has the same concepts given that it's just a carbon copy with title case naming.

Python can't execute in on two cores at once, so it functionally has no multithreading, JS can share data between threads, but must convert it all to string because pointless performance penalties are great to have. Golang has that weird FIFO channel thing (probably sockets in disguise for these last two). C/C++ has a segfault.
Chances are if that is your spread you have roommates. No one on 40k is renting that 5k manhattan apartment. They are probably out in queens or somesuch. Craigslist says average rent for a 1br in queens is around $2k a month. So if these earners have a roommate or a significant other, they are paying like $1k a month on rent even with the base rent higher than $1600/mo.
What would you suggest as a better alternative? (I am not in favor of a six-day workweek.)
The best radio for shortwave is without any doubt the Belka. It costs around 200€, but the quality is fantastic. The new versions cover also LW/MW and have an IQ output, so you can use as SDR as well.
Otherwise you can find some Chinese clones of SDR play that are really cheap, but I am not suggesting those from a ethical standpoint
There are many fields of engineering where practicing without a license is against the law, with licensing exams directly related to education and skill.

Technology has more or less co-opted the term but it used to be that “engineer” was fairly synonymous with licensed professions.
Pursuing excellence by shipping and doing a little beater each time is the antidote to hiding behind perfectionism
Pursuit of perfectionism wouldn’t have saved it either

I wonder if instead of having SMT, processors could briefly power off the unused ALUs/FPUs while waiting for something further up the pipeline, and focus on reducing heat and power consumption rather than maximizing utilization.
IMHO article defines perfectionism doing both things you have mentioned too early. E.g. you do prototype and instead of showing that to stakeholders you clean it up, cover with tests and etc.
MS just provided theirs, it's a bad architecture issue where CS overused the kernel mode, and should have instead done a listener in the kernel and logic in User land.

I don't think they were doing it for a deep lore reason. Lets consider going from season 1 to season 2 in the shows chronology. It represents a gap of maybe 2 weeks, and in that time they gave Jacaerys 8 inch longer hair with a perm.
Really cool!

Anyone know of a similar alert UI for data/business alarms (eg installs dropping WoW, crashes spiking DoD, etc)?

Something that feeds of Snowflake/BigQuery, but with a similar nice UI so that you can quickly see false positives and silence them.

The tools I’ve used so far (mostly in-house built) have all ended in a spammy slack channel that no one ever checks anymore.
For anyone interested in the performance requirements for electric flight, alluded to but not explored in the article. This is a great open-access paper about it https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsenergylett.8b02195
Perfectionism is the practice of seeking perfection, not achieving it. Lots of devs spend time not shipping because they feel their code isn't good enough. Meanwhile Crowdstrike built a $62bn company shipping things. Poor quality things that break the internet, but that's kind of besides the point.

If you want to build value you must ship, even if the thing isn't ready yet because otherwise it will never ship and there will never be any value realized.

The perfectionists I have worked with were never the ones advocating for rolling out releases to users. The _only_ thing that can prevent catastrophes like Blue Friday.

My experience is different.

Given the choice between fixing a quality issue that can be easily measured/detected and one that cannot, a lot of people will prefer the measurable, easy-to-detect one.

So the folks on the 'code quality' committee end up introducing tools that make it impossible to merge if your markdown file has two consecutive blank lines - rather than spending the time on performance or security which are much harder to keep on top of with automated tooling.
It is utterly unlike string theory.

String theory is a very rigid coherent theory. It has produced plenty of deep mathematical insights. I personally don't believe that it describes our universe, but it is possible to calculate its properties.

Wolframs "Theory" is a bunch of relatively conventional ideas (by high energy physics theory standards), tied together by wishful thinking and speculation. In parts it seems almost possible to show that the ideas are actually contradictory. It is only saved by being to vague to fail coherence checks.

It is, to use the old cliche, not even wrong.
Yeah, a depth prepass won't help you if you're vertex bound. It's most useful when you have high depth complexity and expensive fragment shaders (which to be fair is most games). It's also not usually required for a deferred renderer, but for forward+ it's normally a decent win.
Really disappointed comments are turned off on this video.
The tyranny of the nitpicker comes to mind.
What if we just threw the whole "process" away and hired a bunch of applicants at once? Give them 90 days to prove themselves (smart, friendly, knows how to write documentation, etc.), keep the ones like and let the other ones go.

I'm kinda only half joking.
How do you decide when it’s ’for it’s own sake’ and when it’s not?
Skin color is most visible proxy of a foreign color. Let’s not pretend that those people blend in local cultures very well. Nor do people with white skin, to be fair.

Scandinavians are even more against central Europe migrants. While racism card silences some people regarding other skin colors, they double down on fellow Europeans. And knowing folks who emigrated there… I can’t say I blame Scandinavians for not liking them.
Seeking perfection via automated systems - yes

Blaming people for not being perfect - no.
The bar can always be lower, too. Think slideware and vaporware. You don't even need to have a product, let alone a minimally viable one. You just need to convince someone to give you money.
The thing which seems to be overlooked -- both in the linked article and in the HN comments -- is that at one time ham radio was a hobby for folks wanting to play around with state-of-the-art technology. It was more than just a bunch of guys chatting with each other over a radio. At one time most people had to build their own ham rig from piece parts. One had to have a serious amount of engineering ability to do so ... or at least be able to read a schematic published in a magazine and solder together a radio, not a small feat. As a hobby it was all about becoming proficient in electrical engineering, then enjoying your proficiency by chatting with -- and showing off to -- like-minded guys around the world.

Ham magazines like QST and 73 published schematics and other how-to articles which amounted to an excellent education in practical electrical engineering. 73 magazine in particular was very technical -- it assumed you had good working knowledge of many common RF and audio circuits. Also, to get a ham license you needed to take a test demonstrating a good level of proficiency. For the lowest rung "novice" license you just had to demonstrate knowledge of Morse code at a slow but reasonable pace. For higher rungs of the achievement ladder like "advanced" or "extra" you needed to pass an exam about electronics as well as receive and send Morse code at a fast clip. The license presented a barrier to entry which didn't exist in CB radio -- which some hams looked down upon as a cesspool of unwashed, technically illiterate bozos.

My exposure to ham radio really started in the 1970s since my dad had been a ham playing with homebuilt radios since he was a kid in the 1930s. In the '70s the hobby was trifurcating. On one hand were the hard-core guys who built their own rigs, sometimes for the challenging high-frequency bands. Some also participated in designing and launching a ham-radio satellite via the ARRL. Early forms of digital encoding over radio were also big. Those guys were the real engineering types, and I admired them. On the other hand, commercial outfits were selling ready-to-use radios ... no engineering skills needed. In the middle were guys assembling and using stuff from Heathkit -- a great way to learn about electronics.

The ham hobby has been fading away for many years. I think the thrill of building a radio and then talking to somebody on a different continent with it has diminished in the face of cheap international calling, cell phones, Skype, etc. The only thing left for hams to do these days involves disaster relief -- and the remaining ham mag QST plays up that theme (or at least did the last time I looked). Meanwhile, the young nerds who used to take up ham radio now occupy themselves with various open-source software projects. I suppose that's natural.
Having to study an example before getting a clear enough idea what to look for definitely narrows down the potential audience. Examples are very useful and important, but, unless they fit in 5-7 lines, they are the second step.

The first step should be a few bullet points listing the key reasons behind the framework and the key benefits it provides.
"It's 4,000 light years away, so the butterfly effect is irrelevant"

Wouldn't time travel imply that you could go to the source 4000 years ago, so for this scheme you'd need to get the data at time of creation, not at arrival.

Further, once you start having time traveling all bets are off anyway. You could go back to stop the star forming. But by that point the hypothetical question becomes impossible to answer
> Why do people suggest inflating away debt rather than just defaulting on it? I'd guess that the debt markets would punish the two options equally, because bonds would lose the same amount of real value either way. But inflation also screws up your economy as a side effect.

Defaulting would impact the value of Treasurys far more than inflation, a bond’s price is merely the sum of its future cash flows, pricing in a default would push yields waaay higher than they would from inflation alone. There would also be massive liquidity problems since banks and companies hold a ton of Treasurys along with pensions and retirees.

There’s far more negative impacts from a debt default that sibling comments already elaborated on.

There are very few black swan scenarios that would cause me to liquidate the assets in my retirement accounts for cash, but a US sovereign default would be one of them.
Why? We send alerts to Slack and Pagerduty. Slack is to help everyone who might be working, PagerDuty alerts the persons who are actually in charge of working on it.
Only in the scope of the IT nerds. Average people I'm betting have no idea that anything happened especially if you work with your hands. Its the same old day to day out the window. The sky didn't fall.
Good catch! I didn't realize that about this lib. It has some consideration for what it calls "overscanning", but that only extends a little bit past the current view.
Those things are insane value for the money. First breakout product intel has had in a long time, honestly.

The downsides are that it's single-channel memory, which I'm not overly thrilled about, personally. Although I understand it's an important element of keeping the cost down, both in terms of die cost and also the systems integration around it. One channel = 1 socket... or soldered memory with half the modules.

That said, the overall package speaks for itself. It's fine. Which is the standard to meet in this class of product. It costs less than $100 for a loaded rig that you plug in and run windows on, what are you really expecting here?

And when you drive down the cost that far, a whole bunch of new use-cases open up. This is what the social implication of moore's law has always been - that eventually your fridge will have a computer with hundreds of MIPS of performance, because it's so cheap why not?

And that was the argument for the RPi initially. Other than the "they'll use it to run computer labs!" which was silly and never materialized either.

Been a big fan of Gemini Lake Plus for a lot of years too. It’s cheap and good enough (and with the right modules you can stick 16gb or more (tested up to 32gb) of memory in it, which makes it totally acceptable for light desktop use. Same thing. It’s good enough.
By what standard would you evaluate a AV definition?

Crowdstrike had a sloppy process without meaningful testing, only parser validation. Assigning that task to tens of thousands of admins, most of whom have no idea what they are doing just shifts blame, not accountability.
