China has been and is being shut off from the West's most innovative industries. The goal is to slow China's progress. I suspect that it's only a matter of time before they innovate their way into technology that will surpass what they lack now. A great advantage they have is that they can focus their resources on single points of need. There is a great advantage in that but there's also the danger that they choose the wrong technology and they get lost and never get anywhere. We'll see what happens. One thing for sure is that they won't just wait and see what happens. They are going to work hard to move forward.
Ooh and I've worked with several Indian people who are great as well. I was just mentioning the stereotype of how mexican people in tech see them.

I even had a great indian engineer who emigrated from India (his parents are still there) who actually complained about Indian work culture.

It's like myself when I complain about mexican culture (for work, ethics, corruption or mediocrity)... I know that not everyone is like that, but shit where I'm from (southeast Mexico, Campeche) you'll be lucky to find someone that breaks the stereotype.

NIST added Ed25519, Ed448, EdDSA, deterministic ECDSA as in RFC 6979, and deprecated RSA key lengths <2048 bits in FIPS 186-5. So I'd not say it'll never happen. It's just slow.

You need to break work up into tasks that take less than two weeks.

Beyond that, you’re metagaming and that is going to end up either not being worth the energy invested or a net negative. I say energy not time because there are only so many niggling arguments you can have with coworkers before they push you into traffic. Each petty little argument that could have been about something more important just runs down the clock.

Maybe provide a button in Windows to flip the OS … make WSL the base OS and cram Windows into a (sandboxed) subsystem; a Linux Subsystem for Windows (LSW).

Kidding aside, robcohen makes a great point about the infinite backwards compatibility … if MSFT were to sunset more product versions more quickly it could accelerate upgrade cycles. But then again “new code considered harmful” applies.

What could help is a much more modular OS that installs a very slim base set of functionality and lets users choose additional capabilities to install or not. This would (perhaps) cut vuln and misconfig surface area if it were implemented in a real way.

As a creator of a programming language that can compile binaries of any supported platform from any platform it is an unsolveable problem.

I can't do the signing as it requires Apple stuff. Not to mention it is unethical to require it as it's used for gatekeeping not just security (requiring Apple to decide if you can run an executable is unacceptable).

Compare it to Android where you can use self-signed certificates and it has an actual function, it allows updates signed with the same certificate to access the existing stored data on the device. It improves security without gatekeeping. At least that was on the older Androids, haven't done work on any newer ones.

I can't do some kind of universal launcher that is signed by me because it would allow to run arbitrary code and therefore it would be banned.

Therefore the only solution is to search for various workarounds (eg. by teaching the users how to run the software) or if not possible anymore stop supporting newer versions of MacOS and rely on web applications to support the platform (like it's the only way on iOS).

Which would be even worse on the desktop as the usability can be quite bad, but at least users would have some chance to use the applications even on their closed system.
It’s cute that you think most people can afford to live 10 minutes from work in cities.

> I haven't found anything suggesting they can put GPU and CPU tiles on the same fabric for example

Not 100% sure what you mean by fabric, but Intel is absolutely combing CPU and GPU tiles onto a single chip with Meteor Lake. They are even using 4 different fabrication processes (two Intel, two TSMC).
My point is that you will have many cloud services to choose from if geeks can build them easily, which will keep prices down.

Ipv6 works much better with multicast. I learned about it a few years back and it's actually core to the ipv6 protocol. That means all ipv6 routers must support multicast.

There's 2^112 possible global multicast addresses with ipv6 as well (1). Though yeah, you'll still have queuing overloads as well and other issues.

Fry tries to make an analogy between AI and money.

> Ai should be compared ... to a much older and more foundational and transformative human invention. [...] That invention is money.

Yes, but not quite. He makes a previous reference to the natural force of gravity on rivers, and what Fry is searching for, is the invention of capitalism. Capitalism directs the flow of money like gravity directs the stream. It's a force that changes incentives - one that's seen as natural as that of the forces of nature.

This is a better analogy to AI than money. Money transformed the human experience, sure, but we can envision a world without money, we can't envision a world without capital.

> What do we have left that is ours and ours alone?

Pulling a page out of sociological functionalism, intelligence (among other things) has the existential purpose of elevating human status. Humans are uniquely intelligent in a way that makes people feel special. Encroaching on this exclusivity is a threat to that status. Therefore, either AI must not be created, or it cannot be equivalently intelligent. For those who create value in being uniquely intelligent, AI cannot be.
Yeah... those are the "constants value" generators... those who initally were shipped with non-magnetic pins, those of the "prank".
Comparing 15 year old companies to 5 year old companies is Apples to Oranges. Compounding makes that sort of meaningless.

But if we wanted to offer constructive criticism to YC, mine would be:

1. Stop downplaying the importance of craftsmanship.

2. Stop downplaying the contributions of batchmates and overplaying the impact of YC partners/office hours.

3. Stop mooching off public domain without contributing much back.

4. Learn to understand the speed benefits of public domain development/build in public.

5. Stop it with the secrecy; an outdated model. Speed >> secrecy.

6. Stop the censorship!

to be fair, developers on mac create like 100% of their highly profitable iOS app store revenue because you can't hardly make iOS apps without a mac.
What all these discussions about home vs office work largely miss (I’ve seen a few tangential mentions) is that so much of this debate has a far different priority driving it than people think, it’s both capital investments and system pressure to keep the house of cards standing that is driving all meaningful measure of this issue and corporations/CEOs are willing to sacrifice the aloneness and even productivity and profitability of their employees in order to maintain the overall system and serve the central planners in the government that are pressuring them to get the commercial real estate house of cards stabilized by utilizing the floor space … even climate change and destruction of the planet’s climate (if we can believe the inconsistent propaganda in that regard) be damned.

It’s time to shut up and “toe the line” as I’ve been told from regarding this kind of matter. If it chokes down to it, you could even be a specialized and expert in the field that they absolutely need; if you defy them, at least be ready to move on or even be laid off. In this kind of authoritarian system, nothing else takes priority over obedience … no matter how much your corporate “family” would be cutting itself deep in the flesh. I know this from experience and repeated observation.

I use the "Multitouch" app from the same developer which integrates Rectangle with some other things.

Trying out the new macOS version.. it's a little fiddly to activate sometimes didn't want to go. Then the margin/spacing between the edge of the screens was annoying. Though I discovered that there is an option under "Desktop & Dock" in settings you can turn off called "Tiled windows have margins".

What I haven't figured out is if you can create a keyboard shortcut to tile left or right without using the mouse... so far have not figured out how to do that. Couldn't see an option for it.

Those settings revealed another option though to "Hold key while dragging windows to file". If you hold that key you don't actually have to drag to the edge, just move it to the correct side of the monitor (or not really move it at all if it's already on that side). Interesting alternative.

But I really often specifically use a keyboard shortcut for tile left, tile right or tile left third/middle third/right third (on a 35" Ultrawide).

Let's ignore LLMs, where tens of billions of dollars are being competitively poured into models and platforms on top of which presumably value can be built and focus on their secondary effects. Ever-more powerful GPUs being pushed out to the periphery, upgrading the parallel-processing power of every phone, laptop and server. Semiconductor manufacturing building hundreds of billions of dollars worth of de novo fabrication capacity. And I'm not even touching the platform advances in space travel and bioengineering we're in the midst of.

If you're looking to build the next website or iPhone app, yes, the ship has sailed. The rinse-and-repeat "put a subscrpition on it" playbook has played out. But I can't say history has had this much variety in scalable tinkering territory before.
Intel frees its Foundry biz – and that's just one of many major shake-ups today
I feel this in my bones.

It becomes apparent as you move higher up the IC ladder that technical work becomes slightly taboo. And it is precisely because of the attitude that the actual work is something for line employees, not them. This belief is passed down not overtly, but through gentle nudges: "you could fix that in 15 minutes, but is that really maximizing your impact?" Or the ever-present, "but how does this improve your promo packet?"

It all feels like a giant psyop on staff engs to constantly gaslight themselves into immolating themselves to the god of Impact. Little wonder they exhibit much higher rates of burnout: they're told to be responsible for things without the full range of authority.

I was $TOO_OLD when I learned that most of the actual coding on Google's systems was done by L4/L5's.
What are the conditions leading to extreme packet loss in layers 2&3 in the first place?

Cultural influence isn't just popular media. The language (Latin based), the government (democracy/senate), architecture (the white house), etc. They are the sum of a nation identity, how it appears, act, interact with others.

You can see Rome's traces in almost everything in the West, from entertainment to moral norms. Same thing in Asia, except they are Chinese, like the language (Japan, Korea, Singapore), architecture (Vietnam, Japan), entertainment (see that new Wukong game), etc.

The culture of a nation morphs and changes on the surface but deep down, it is based on a rather stable foundation. In the West, it is Greek-Roman, in the East, it is Chinese-Indian.

Besides a persistent off-by-one error, and the use of actual trees instead of table lookup for canonical Huffman, this is a pretty good summary of the LZ+Huffman process in general; and in the 80s through the mid 90s, this combination was widely used for data compression, before the much more resource-intensive adaptive arithmetic schemes started becoming popular. It's worth noting that the specifics of DEFLATE were designed by Phil Katz, of PKZIP fame. Meanwhile, a competing format, the Japanese LZH, was chosen by several large BIOS companies for compressing logos and runtime code.

Note that real-world GZIP decoders (such as the GNU GZIP program) skip this step and opt to create a much more efficient lookup table structure. However, representing the Huffman tree literally as shown in listing 10 makes the subsequent decoding code much easier to understand.

Is it? I found the classic tree-based approach to become much clearer and simpler when expressed as a table lookup --- along with the realisation that the canonical Huffman codes are nothing more than binary numbers.
Why does it mean that?

I’d assume with hybrid you could always go in.
