I remember an article in Science News in the 1980s when image compression algorithms like JPEG were being developed about the concern that you could not use them for medical images because of the risk that artifacts could interfere with diagnosis.

Now I see papers where people train superesolution models on pictures of healthy tissues and tumors and dodn’t seem bothered at all that the model may know how to hallucinate both.
Yeah, that's a great point. But I will say that I think interest-to-GDP ratio is also a bit misleading here because what it doesn't capture is the uncertainty about future interest rates.

Because of the massive amounts of debt held by the USA, there is no option to just pay off the current debt. If there was a sharp increase in interest rates (or even just a long-protracted period of interest rates like the current one), the USA would have no option but to take out further debt at painfully high rates just to stay ahead of existing debts.

So even if interest payments aren't so bad currently, the large debt load is a large vulnerability.
Yes, there are regional papers that don't often cover large stories that achieve your criteria.

At least there are a couple I can think of, LGBT papers in particular.
Yeah but you don't have the same knowledge apparently.

Losing a coworker, particularly at a small company, is also quite traumatic. After losing a key member of a team, perhaps the survivors find they have other priorities in life than trying to file for lots of patents. This seems like a rather obvious confounding factor.

It would be pretty much the same because you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
I'm curious as to what alternative you invest in. The received wisdom is that TBills are the closest to a 'risk free' investment on the planet. However, as you're pointing out, historically with increasing debt, some kind of debt repudiation(whether explicit or implicit) has always happened.

The practical question becomes what is a safer alternative and perhaps more importantly, can we know that today.

The laws in the US are different, so it makes sense that regulatory bodies in the US act differently.
But in the US, many High School grads need to be re-taught some basic high-school level courses as freshmen.

It's not an either-or, though, is it? Why can't we both improve developing the native population and siphon the best and brightest from everywhere else?

I am going to argue slightly on your wording although I fully acknowledge the numbers do line up with your timeline.

RE the budget surplus, the dotcom boom led to a large increase in taxes collected which collapsed from 2000 to 2003. Similarly countries naturally spend more when their population is either skewing old or skewing young. The US hit peak working-age demographics during the period you are describing. The outcome doesn't seem to be "engineered" so much as accidental. In fact taxes on balance were cut during this timeframe while significant contributors to the long term debt / future crisis were unleashed (glass steagall repeal which arguably led to the great financial crisis & federal loans for eduction were dramatically expanded without oversight to ensure the money was being well spent).

Similarly, the covid response caused an explosion in the budget deficit which I wouldn't blame squarely on "a candidate's economic policy". The 2023 deficit in real dollars and as a % of GDP the largest (by a fair amount!) outside of a war, economic crisis, or the covid response. This doesn't even count the ~400? billion in student loan forgiveness that was attempted and failed.

It slowed down to 1 MHz for I/O and Apple ][ compatibility.

I wouldn't call it a disaster, sales and marketing wise mainly, but that also had a lot to do with the IBM PC coming out around the same time.

It was probably the most complex 6502 design, and mainly consisted of discrete logic chips rather than custom chips that other manufactures were starting to use. It had advanced features like an additional addressing mode to access up to 512k RAM without bank switching. (Plus two speed arrow keys)

I generally treat anything on Reddit as first and foremost motivated by a desire for fake Internet points rather than by a desire to share a real story or have a real conversation. I'd at least expect a reputable journalist to pick up on this story if there really was anything to it.

Regardless of the veracity of the claims in that post, there's not much new here aside from the fact that the distributor generated the content using AI rather than making it up themselves. Quackery and snake oil has always been a thing, and plenty of people have been seriously injured or died from misinformation about food safety or medicine.

Bluetooth/BLE has the unique problem that you don't own the code on both sides of the wireless tx/rx. In webdev, you have control over client side and server side code and can make them work together in some unique way, without worrying about interoperability. But with Bluetooth/BLE devices, not only do you need to be able to communicate with random peers you've never seen before, those peers also need to be able to connect to countless other BT/BLE devices and read information about the services available on those devices. In order to enable this interoperability between BLE devices, a standardized format needed to be developed: GATT. GATT is the very highest layer of this interoperability and is considered "user-level" from the perspective of a BT firmware dev. In BT classic, the SDP table provides nearly the same service as GATT, except that data isn't carried over it, just service discovery.
Developed countries are absolutely swamped with immigrants (skilled and not.) We're not short on workers but we are dysfunctionally short on social cohesion. Immigration exacerbates that and people check out.

EDIT:
I'm out of posts for the day, here's my reply.

I mean people being able to communicate and empathize with eachother.

No one works

No one can get jobs (all the fake job postings and applications)

No one is dating

etc etc. These are all fundamentally the result of the destruction of social cohesion. This is a well known cyclical phenomenon and immigration is absolutely the opposite thing you should be doing in this phase of the cycle.

EDIT2: You can have large portions of the population unemployed and unemployment at historic lows if enough people have dropped out of the work force. According to the BLS that appears to be exactly what has happened in the US and is consistent with what I'm arguing.
Personal experience - emigrating to the Netherlands after higher education is a well-defined and relatively easy process. After graduating you're able to apply for a "search year" residence permit which entitles you to residence and full access to the Dutch job market. (https://ind.nl/en/residence-permits/work/residence-permit-fo...)

Normally then you're able to get a "highly skilled migrant" permit (with less restrictive criteria than had you not studied in NL) which is renewable, then eventually after passing some language and integration tests and sufficient time you're eligible for long-term permanent residence (or even citizenship).

It's a refreshingly sane approach compared to the US.
And like clockwork too.

1. Company builds cool OSS and releases it to the world.

2. The product becomes stable, mature, and users are happy with its feature set. Development slows down.

3. Company starts having to make money so they relicense future code.

4. A few large users of the software (that company was
hoping for $$$ from) realize that since it's mature and stable it's massively lower cost to just maintain the last OSS version.

5. At the time of the license chance the new OSS fork is identical to what everyone is already using and so it's the the least resistance migration.

6. The consortium of actual users of the software drive its future direction instead of the company.

I'm not mad about the cycle, it's the moment VC backed software gets turned over to the community. But I always wonder how it turns out for the companies in the long run.

I am of the opinion that you should only be hunting mushrooms if your family has been hunting mushrooms for generations (I could count 4+ in my family). Or at least spend few years under some patronage. This is not something you should learn from books. Also you can't just learn 1 mushroom, you need to know them all even if you only eat one.

Having worked at Microsoft for almost a decade, I remember chatting with their security people plenty after meetings. One interesting thing I learned is that Microsoft (and all the other top tech companies presumably) are under constant Advanced Persistent Threat from state actors. From literal secret agents getting jobs and working undercover for a decade+ to obtain seniority, to physical penetration attempts (some buildings on MS campus used to have armed security, before Cloud server farms were a thing!).

Microsoft is one of the few companies that goes toe to toe with world governments every day of the year.

And I imagine balancing that next to all the engineers who demand admin access everywhere is a royal pain!

Although the best Government VS Business story I heard was during intern orientation at Boeing about French agents breaking into Boeing employee's hotel rooms during a conference in France while the employees were out to dinner, and going through laptops. One of the employees returned earlier than expected, and the men in suits shut the laptop, turned around and walked out of the room w/o saying anything!
I will say - as someone selecting schools now for my kid - the thing I worry about is my child being surrounded by other bright, motivated kids. In my experience that's the kind of thing that makes them be better - much more than 'great schools'.

I once wrote to John Carmack as a Quake-obsessed kid, asking for any advice he has for an aspiring programmer and if he had any favourite books. To my surprise he wrote back a really thoughtful response, including the following:

> Apple's $20 billion a year deal with Google to be the default search engine accounts for at least 10% of its entire market capitalization.

Huh? Apple's market capitalization is $3.44 trillion as of today, and the unit of market cap is not dollars per year, so you're conflating categories here.

If you mean yearly revenue, $20 billion is 5% of Apple's 2023 revenue. Compare that to Meta, where ad revenue is like, 98% of their ~$135 billion revenue in 2023. These are different categories of companies, no matter how you slice it. You're fighting the wrong enemy here.

When I looked I found that the top math talent in the world has been increasingly concentrated in the US (specifically MIT) over the last 30 years [1]. Staying in academia is an easy way for immigrants to stay in the US but it would be nice if there was an easier path out into industry.

It's a bit annoying to do using the GitHub website. From my readme file:

Install the GitHub CLI:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install gh

Authenticate with your GitHub account:

gh auth login

Follow the prompts to complete the authentication process.

Generate a new API key:

gh auth token

This will create and display a new Personal Access Token.

Copy the generated token and use it in the application or set it as the GITHUB_API_KEY environment variable.

What we currently call "AI" (LLMs) cannot be venal. It is not conscious and has no agency, so the term is simply not applicable.

It's like calling a rock "murderous" when someone used it to murder another person - understandable, possibly poetic, but completely semantically wrong.

My point is, shifting blame on progress is misdirected and benefits nobody. Fixing issues requires understanding and addressing root causes. As greed (the most fundamental issue, I believe) can be only be possibly solved by achieving post-scarcity (or so I think), I'm suggesting that the next best thing to blame is misaligned incentives and modern economy of "engagement". And not "AI" or "Internet" or anything progress-related.
And some are very big, too.

If it's not something that needs extensive testing, I'd rather maintain that codebase than a "proper" one. Data science people don't pump out 100 files with 20 layers of OOP, and they don't know how to use Redux or whatever overkill navigation lib. It'll be a main.py that just does what you want. Maybe there will be copy-pasted code, but even that can be more readable sometimes.

Same with Germany with the new Opportunity card program
I've been involved with carding for 10+ years and issues with MIFARE Classic cards have been around and known for at least that long. Anyone in the carding industry will (should at the very least) tell you not to use them and move on to DESFire or some other newer safer chips. The introduction even says as much "By 2024, we all know MIFARE Classic is badly broken." If you're still deploying MIFARE Classic cards you reap what you sow.

GPT 4 Turbo (which is paid) gives this:

> Lexell's theorem is a result in geometry related to triangles and circles. Named after the mathematician Anders Johan Lexell, the theorem describes a special relationship between a triangle and a circle inscribed in one of its angles. Here's the theorem:

Given a triangle \(ABC\) and a circle that passes through \(B\) and \(C\) and is tangent to one of the sides of the angle at \(A\) (say \(AB\)), the theorem states that the circle's other tangent point with \(AB\) will lie on the circumcircle of triangle \(ABC\).

In other words, if you have a circle that touches two sides of a triangle and passes through the other two vertices, the point where the circle touches the third side externally will always lie on the triangle’s circumcircle. This theorem is useful in solving various geometric problems involving circles and triangles.
How does this relate to PKCS or cards using PKI? Are there access control systems out there that use this and is it more secure?

Or maybe there’s door access control systems out there that use FIDO2 :D
Not really.

The original VS4Mac was Mono Develop.

Afterwards the team started to share code between Visual Studio and VS4Mac, written in .NET Standard libraries, until they started the full rewrite, using .NET Core proper with Cocoa bindings, as the team did not consider MAUI with Catalyst mature enough for the rewrite.

Only to have the project cancelled and replaced by our Electron shell friend, after they reached the 1.0 of the rewrite efforts.

Which still doesn't have the graphical tooling and storyboards integration from VS4Mac.

Most folks are rather adopting Rider.
