This was actually shown off at CES earlier this year, here's the only video I can find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqCwLjhb4YY

In this it's claimed that Intel is doing a direct framebuffer copy. I'd say the "Microsoft’s Remote Desktop without all of the setup." is editorialising.

It's not the clearest shot, but the latency shown at 30s in that video looks pretty good to my eyes.

On the other hand I've been caught out by tech companies making exaggerated claims about pre-release products before, so who knows, maybe it actually is no better than VNC.
Thank you for pointing this out. I did not read the post in detail but I was wondering how could a monitoring library cause the entire application to go down. At worst, I thought, it should have failed to process the monitoring events, assuming that it was integrated in a reasonable way.

PostHog patching a very important global function is a feature that should be well-documented so that the people who are using it are aware of it and can be reasonably expected to have it in mind when debugging these seemingly unexplainable issues.

I remember that case being discussed at length on here at the time. Without going back and regarding all the details, I don't remember it being nearly so clear-cut. As a result I'm now skeptical of the other claims in the article about things I'm unfamiliar with. (Is this "Gell-Mann mnesia"?)
Considering you actually have to design around DST, I’m still widely unconvinced that the time and effort spent setting up DST and fuzzing hoping it finds your bugs wouldn’t be better spent actually proving that your design is bug free using tools like TLA+ before intelligently using static analysis and formal proof during implementation.

I believe DST to be the wrong solution to the actual problem. Its main advantage is that it doesn’t require that people used to design distributed system actually acquire a new skill set and it doesn’t challenge the status quo too much (after all it’s pretty much just fuzzing on path you have chosen to make fuzzable).

>mario bros didn't ask you for $1 to revive and save your progress every time you died

Nope, that was the decade prior. I guess Street Fighter would be a better example where it monetized both ways. Eat quarters at the arcade, or spend $200 in 1980s moneys for the NES/SNES and anywhere from $50-80 for the full version. The arcade in many ways was as much an ad for "well you know can play this at home 24/7!"as much as an quarter muncher.

>all the typical trappings of life exaggerated and optimized to extract money in exchange for good vibes... from children

I'm not opposed to rating it M. But all those kids on COD and GTA tell me that that won't be the silver bullet that solves everything. At some level the parent needs to intervene and not buy that for them (like me for GTA).

Not just iDevices. Gaming consoles also have such restrictions. So do safety critical systems (flight control systems often have some kind of interpreter but never a JIT as far as I know). There are probably other examples.

Fast start absolutely does require an interpreter and it is true that the jump to JIT is very quick - but that jump never happens for a large number of run-once functions (like initialization code or data definition code). Having that interpreter also saves you memory, since initialization code tends to be quite large.

That made me think of a quote from Charles Babbage, arguably the inventor of the mechanical computer. I wonder if it was added intentionally as a reference:

> On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I feel this is my bones
For what it's worth, I'm not sure this is a mental breakdown, and it might give the wrong impression to people who do legitimately suffer breakdowns related to stress about tech.

For me it's only happened once. It was an anxiety attack, and I'm very lucky my wife was there to talk me through it and help me understand what was happening. She's had them many times, but it was my first (and thankfully only).

It turns out that this sort of thing happens to people, and that there's nothing wrong with it. It doesn't mean you're defective or weak. That's a really important point to internalize.

Xanax is worth having on hand, since that was what finally ended it for me and I was able to drift off to sleep.

I guess my point is, there's a difference between having intrusive thoughts vs something that debilitates you and that you legitimately can't control, such as an anxiety attack or a panic attack. You won't be getting any work done if those happen, and that's ok.
One of the funnier situations (funny now, wasn't so much the first time I saw this) that I run into at new gigs or contracts is when a business has absolutely zero monitoring or alerting. Go into their backend, it's predictably a dumpster fire. Start plugging in monitoring and the business realizes everything is on fire and PANICS. It's very difficult to explain to someone who definitely doesn't want to hear that it's actually been broken for a long time, they just didn't care enough to notice or to invest in doing it right the first time.
Again, you are being disingenuous. Whether it materially impacts children is not a fact but a judgment.

The code is designed such that it is nearly impossible to say anything other than “it may impact children”. Websites are effectively forced to write a document that says “be believe that our site may negatively impact children”.

Now, what are the odds that a future politically-motivated DA won’t “accidentally” leak that “secret document which admits they knew they were harming children” when they want to go after someone for something unrelated?
Apple seems like a great example of outsource manufacturing with tight control done right.
I'm not so sure. When a technological wave is big enough, it seems reasonable to start by asking: "what business can be built on this exponential wave?" This is contrary to standard YC advice (make something people want right away, don't create a solution in search of a problem) but empirically a lot of big companies started this way:

- Bezos saw the growth rate of the internet, spent a few months mulling over the question: "what business would make sense to start in the context of massive internet adoption" and came up with an online bookstore.

- OpenAI's ChatGPT effort really began when they saw Google's paper on transformers and decided to see how far they could push this technology (it's hard to imagine they forecasted all the chatbot usecases; in reality I'm sure they were just stoked to push the technology forward).

- Intel was founded on the discovery of the integrated circuit, and again I think the dominant motivation was to see how far they could push transistor density with a very hazy vision at best of how the CPUs would eventually be used.

I think the reason this strategy works is that the newness of a truly important technology counteracts much of the adverse selection of starting a new business. If you make a new To-Do iPhone app, it's unlikely that people have overlooked a great idea in that space over the last 10 years. But if lithium ion batteries only just barely started becoming energy dense enough to make a car, there's a much more plausible argument why you could be successful now.

Said another way: "why hasn't this been done before?" (both by resource-rich incumbents as well as new entrants) is a good filter (and often a limiting one) for starting a business. New technological capabilities are one good answer to this question. Therefore if you're trying to come up with an idea for a business, it seems reasonable to look at new technologies that you think are actually important and then reason backward to what new businesses they enable.

Two additional positive factors I can think of:

1. A common dynamic is that a new technology is progressing rapidly but is of course far behind traditional solutions at the outset. Thus it is difficult to find immediate applications, even if large applications are almost guaranteed in 10-20 years. Getting in early - during the borderline phase where most applications are very contrived - is often a big advantage. See Tesla Roadster (who wants a $100k electric sports car with 200mi range and minimal charging network?), early computers (what is the advantage of a slow machine with no GUI over doing work by hand?), and perhaps current LLMs (how valuable is a chatbot that frequently hallucinates and has trouble thinking critically in original ways)? It's the classic Innovator's Dilemma - we overweight the initial warts and don't properly forecast how quickly things are improving.

2. There is probably a helpful motivational force for many people if they get to feel that they are on the cutting edge of technology that interests them and building products that simply weren't possible two years ago.

> The biggest challenge, then, lies in re-imagining applications like Google Docs

This is a big one for me. AN APPEAL: Does know here know of a FOSS that offers an equivalent "experience" (visual appeal, time latency) to Google Docs and Google Sheets? Pretty please?

To explain, I have tried NextCloud-based Collabora and OnlyOffice. Neither comes close to the Google Docs & Sheets "real-timeness" and "visual acceptability".

To explain, this is less a rant and more an explanation, so bear that in mind please: For FOSS like Collabora and OnlyOffice, when "actually used" with the intention of replacing "Google Docs and Google Sheets", both

(1) the literal edit-lag (click, type, enter, wait, see screen update) and also

(2) the looks-bad (ugly dark rectangles, fonts, etc.)

are showstoppers, especially when combined.

There are things the FOSS software tries, to work around these issues best as possible. For example, one mode "runs" the doc on the server and hence sends changes to cloud first, hence the lag, while another mode save changes locally since it "runs" in the browser, but then isn't as real-time (if at all) for "other users" . And neither of these issues addresses the simple visual-appearance issues (painting a spreadsheet that doesn't hurt one's eyes).

If there is a FOSS Google Docs & Sheets replacement that is "good enough", the above description in mind, please, pray tell. It need not be feature-complete. Just replicating a Word and Excel '97 type of usability, but self-hostable FOSS with "real-time collaboration that is rather seamless, i.e. not noticeably bad an any way that interferes with actually using it", would be a most amazing find, IMO.

Thanks.
Our government is not competent enough to do that.

Much of the issues Boeing has are as a result of government involvement.

Just look at the entire starliner debacle, in any truly free market Boeing would have been fired as a vendor years ago. They were (and are) way behind schedule, their unmanned demo flight was a failure, they still went forward with a manned flight which has been an abject failure -- the crew is on month three of what was supposed to be a 3 hour^W^W9 day tour. They might not be coming home till February. I hope they have someone watering their plants.
700 MB with 56K would be closer to something like 30 hours. But yeah, doable.
Read your lease carefully, there maybe a clause that restrict mining or other abuse of "free" electricity. They may not have individual power meters but they may have other means to determine if one of their tenants is using too much power.
maybe they know they can't smoke on the bus, so they "need" to smoke as late as possible before getting on to survive the ride? idk, not a smoker.
You're trying to phrase this as if those conditions make it any less bad, but they don't. This affected users that were using the latest version and used... features? Give me a break. Every product has bugs, but trying to downplay the issue after you've just read a distressed user of yours struggle with it is definitely not what you should be doing.

What specific part are you saying was not “clear-cut”? The analysis of Damore’s rant?

The rant is, well, a mess. If something is a mess that doesn’t mean that it’s 100% wrong. It contains unsubstantiated claims and logical leaps mixed in with observations and logically justified conclusions. You know, a mess.
My reply is borderline so I understand any perceived hyprocrisy, but it's so weird reading a response that starts with

my take away is that if you're lucky enough to live in a place that has such a bus schedule, you can just ignore the schedule and show up whenever you want and only wait 10 minutes. sounds lovely!

Individual beliefs aside, the Christian Bible makes for a fascinating case study in book translations. Some translations are modern takes on an existing language translation like translating the King James Bible into modern English as literally as possible, while some take their own liberties with interpreting the original text as it was written and come up with somewhat dramatically different results. Translations between languages with dramatically different language syntax and grammars exists, as well as abridged snippets and (probably) millions of derivative texts used for lessons and teaching. And it's been going on for over a millennium, so we get perspectives on the cultures and languages themselves dramatically changing over time too.

Sorry, but no! The total number of expected winners (including you) is the same as the average number of winners.
You could totally use HID Remapper to do what you want.

The PlayStation Access Controller has profiles that can be configured from a PS5 as you say, but regardless of the current profile or mapping, it always sends the raw button/joystick states in the report. They're not properly exposed in the report descriptor, but they're there. You would have to use what HID Remapper calls "custom usages" to get to this raw data. I can assist you with that if you're interested. Though it might be easier to find someone with a PS5 for the one time setup.
Since you were able to think and act, I would not call this mental breakdown. That kind of thing is very, very different.
It feels like I read or see something like this nearly every month. Someone’s where even the prosecutor's office involved have come to a different conclusion, but still, there are these major roadblocks to justice.

At the risk of diving into flame war territory - he argued that tech lacking women was primarily a pipeline problem. He thought you might be able to address this by giving young girls opportunities in tech that appealed to the big five personality traits more common in women, as most were more appealing to young men according to him. He never mentioned that women were less capable, just less likely to be interested. They'll never pull a quote from his essay because there isn't one that supports that conclusion.
Your 3rd and last paragraphs reminded me of a feature I really like about F#: all source files in an assembly have an explicit, sequential compilation order. And you can only have references to things that had been defined earlier, either in the current file or in a file that comes earlier in the compilation order.

It makes learning and navigating a new codebase much easier. So much so that it doesn't really require IDE tooling the way it does with most mainstream languages. It's harder to get lost when you always know which way is up. Consciously thinking about whether you're doing top-down or bottom-up design also flows naturally from this, for the same reason, and that seems to encourage more thoughtful, readable code design.

Is it more work? Up-front, yes, absolutely. In the long run, though? By the time I finished my first year of CS education I had already been exposed to many many examples of cases where greedy algorithms consistently produce sub-optimal results. Perhaps they aren't teaching people about that in school anymore.
WW II American torpedoes didn't have inertial guidance. They used gyros for directional control and just ran in a straight line after making a single turn onto the set course. Occasionally the torpedo would get stuck in that turn and run in a circle. Towards the end of the war the Navy also started introducing homing torpedoes, but those didn't use inertial guidance either.
That is a great perspective - thank you
I got asked a variation on this in an interview several decades ago.
"What is the expected waiting time for a bus that arrives on average every ten minutes and you show up at a random time". I was sure it was 5 but they actually wanted me to do the math from the article, in my head, in 30 minutes. I did not pass that interview and did not get the job (which was a good thing long term).

I really enjoy having 10-20 lines that produces the expectation value directly by simulation; that's a fast way for me to understand the underlying values.

> If the action is async, it should be clear and the feedback should instantaneously indicate that the action is queued for processing. In that case, the feedback should give 2 options: cancel and access the queue (or better give a vision of its progress ).

Where should that feedback be given for modal operations, acknowledging that 99% of the time when the user initiates the action they want to background the operation and move on to doing other things?
Yes it can. I’ve seen it done properly only once though. You still have to pay attention to avoid overflows

The justice system only cares about process, not outcomes. This is a fundamental feature of bureaucracies (particularly large ones) and it doesn't matter if its government or a corporation or union or hospital. Bureaucracy is always about soul-destroying, humanity-ignoring process layered in such a way that the people running it are each somehow simultaneously overpowered over people trying to navigate the system while at the same time powerless to prevent foreseeable harms.

If the odds of winning are 1 in 14 million, and 28 million tickets are sold, then you expect there to be 2 winners.

If look at your ticket and see you've won the lottery, then the odds of winners are still 1 in 14 million, and out of the 27,999,999 other tickets sold, you expect 2 other winners, and now expect 3 winners total, given you have won.
