Yes. Just like a Minecraft World is like the size of 64,000 Earths, but it runs on my laptop.

That is what I'm saying is not happening. I'm saying that in a particle collider, we measure particles, and those exist all the time, not just when we are looking at them. Like, I have DNA and bones, they exist all the time, not just a simulation showing a 'skin' so it doesn't have to render everything.

Unless you are making a bigger point. That a computer that could be simulating every single particle, must exist outside this universe, and maybe mass and energy in this outside universe is so radically different we can't even grasp the scales of it.

Just like someone inside a minecraft world with blocks, couldn't grasp the amount of energy in our world.
> LibreDrive functionality is implemented as part of open-source LibDriveIO library (at the time of this writing the library source code is not yet released)

This was posted in 2019. As of today, there is still no published source code.
I'm glad that you're admitting this is happening.
Reading this piece right now. better late than never!

It's weird how racism against Indians online is so normalised. I see the same on reddit too.
Isn't VSCode an electron app? Does do those not work on BSD?
In some places, it did over a year.
Thanks, I forgot to add that!
Shouldn't the members of the enclave proactively reach out themselves, then? As the host country has tried to make things more comfortable for them to start with.

That seem to be the major difference between Western and non-Western countries; we're more cognisant of things like racism/being excluded and have taken steps to try to resolve it - you do not get the same in many other countries at all.

It seems it's much more acceptable to be exclusionary and racist if you're non-white, sometimes.
Well, there is learnopengl.com, which although ends with creating a 2D game, the steps leading up to it goes through most of the elements for a proper 3D FPS (camera positioning and movement, textures, lighting, input handling...) - the explanations are simple enough that usually combining the learnings from the different chapters is self explanatory.
The problem with mathematics is that learning it is different from merely understanding. To really learn it and have it as a primitive tool in your brain, you have to train a lot, and not everyone is willing to put in the effort.
I wonder why various outlets, including DeepMind's blog, say that John Jumper is a "Senior Research Scientist". That's L5 which sounds like quite a low rank for a Nobel prize winner. I checked his LinkedIn and he's a director, which is around L8. I thought that maybe he was L5 during the publishing of the results, but no, he was either L6 or L7.
I find the WordPress / static duality in this thread amusing.

Various startups built solutions that snapshotted WordPress installs and put the snapshots on static hosting. Best of both worlds. The one I know best got acquired: https://elementor.com/blog/elementor-acquires-strattic/
I think thats an unfair reading of the comment you replied to - racist and exclusionary behaviour is rightly no longer tolerated in policy intent (if not always in actuality) at professional corporations.

The issue highlighted here is that it seems at times that there are exceptions that people are afraid to call out and criticise, especially at lower levels.
Are you aware that the US ranks below Romania, Belarus, Serbia, Cuba and Thailand on the UN's sustainable development report from 2024?

It might be appropriate to update your picture of the place to reflect the reality. Your views here seem to be predicated on some notion of the US as a place the entire "third world" wants to move to - perhaps you should consider the fact that it's not really top of everyone's list anymore?

With some notable exceptions where it may well be top of the list - the obvious example being some third-level institutions there who have prestige and networking opportunities which are hard to beat, if you can afford it.
Indian society can be pervaded by a grotesque shadow practice of caste which still exists today.

And it's been used in the US by Indians who practice caste-centric Hinduism who feel they are at a certain step of the caste ladder to those below them, or non-Hindus.

The line you quote is present tense, not future tense.

In fact, you even agree, advertising has been made the only driver, in present and past tenses. This is correct. It is.

I think we can all agree, none of us want it to be like this.

The line you quote is not - and nothing else in the piece I see - a statement that Mozilla is advocating for advertising being the only driver in future. They're saying "society has chosen this model, we can't ignore it, so here's our approach on making it better".

Does anything in the piece you consider "compromised", - because? What? It's compromised for accurately stating present reality? Albeit a reality we don't particularly enjoy? How is that compromised, exactly? - obstruct or block other economic drivers from becoming dominant? Does it prevent crowd funding, patronage, subscriptions or any other economic model you can think of?

Sure, effort spent on making adtech less crappy means that effort is not being spent on actively promoting some other driver, so I can see lost opportunity costs here, but you haven't actually named an alternate economic model they should invest in.
> But what if I need
to send data two-ways?
Some systems cannot operate one-way, so they require a two-way solution. For these use cases, Owl has a unique bidirectional data diode solution – ReCon – that operates on two parallel one-way paths. Get all the security advantages of data diodes with the flexibility of a two-way solution.

…but…what? Why are we doing the blinking-light song and dance at all then?
Caste is a disease for sure. Divides people for the benefit of dividers and the few..
Great point.

Unreal exists because studios want to be able to hire hundreds of contract artists on a short schedule. These non-technical contributors need to be able to import whatever permutations of data they spit out of Maya, without conflict, and have it work efficiently on all platforms.

Solving that problem sucks and is complex which is why people pay for their product.

But anything you make yourself or with a few friends doesn’t have that problem.
>That doesn't seem likely.

Really I guess I've always felt that way when you think about it conceptually, but maybe all it has to do is be slightly more likely than time standing still while other things do not ;)

You might also very well be able to say that without time there would be no concept of change either :)
I often feel the same way. I had someone ask me to make a microservice on some platform she built. I was told it would take 10 minutes. In reality, it took a couple weeks, and then every week for a year I was getting told something was changing and I had to mess with this or that, and also attend daily meetings about the project. 10 minutes turned into 30% of my whole year. The whole platform she built lasted maybe 2 years before it was decided we needed to move on from it. It was a total waste of time.

Meanwhile, I have a little LAMP project that is used significantly more than the micro service, that I’ve run for 15 years that I only have to touch when it needs feature updates. The platform itself just works. Occasionally I’ll need to move to a newer OS, which takes a few hours to get the new server built, run the job to configure it (doing it manually doesn’t take too much longer), then submit a request to change the load balancer to point to the new servers.

Granted, some of this comes down to experience. However, needing to know all the tools involved for the microservice was much more annoying and they broke half the time.
That's not what I would call a "first-party" library. Yes, it's written by JetBrains and under the Kotlin project umbrella, but we have to add it to our project like any other dependency.

I can install a persistent collections library in any language. I know for a fact there are persistent collections libraries for Rust, JavaScript, Java, etc.

But since none of those are built-in, they aren't used by the standard library APIs, and they won't be used throughout the wider ecosystem.

And, I'm still not willing to call Java a "functional language" because I can install a third-party library for persistent/immutable collections and hopefully avoid the built-in collections as much as possible.
I'd identify it as self deprecation as a form of social ingratiation, just have to be careful with that as self deprecation can go beyond the boundary of self.
Arguably awarding early is more in line with the intention expressed in Nobel's will: "to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind". It seems to have drifted into "who did something decades ago that we're now confident enough in the global significance of to award a prize". I suspect that if the work the prize recognized reslly had to have been carried out in the preceding year the recipients would be rather different.
Ages ago I worked for a while on OpenBSD on an old Dell laptop.
It was a very stable system, and I could not complain. As previous posts point out, it tends to have good support for old hardware. I used Firefox for browsing, and it was noticeably slower than on Linux.
It really depends on what software you need for work. If you prefer a BSD, FreeBSD tends to be more desktop-ready in my experience (but probably less secure in depth).

Some of the reasons why this is happening :

-> Getting an assignment in the US is viewed as a reward for employees who work in the company for 5+ years.

-> H1B visa employess are given a 50% minimum discount to market rate. cause lol what are you gonna do . Quit and go back in the Queue for H1B.

-> nepotism / favoritism self explanatory.

-> Are more willing to work 40+ hours a week. Less likely to take vacations.

These are the observations of myself and members of my family who are from India.

I'm hopeful that some light will be shed on how ridiculously dystopian it is to force D.I.E. mandates with posters like "United Colours of Benetton" as if "All Men/Women/Etc Are Created In Test Tubes Equivalent And Interchangeable" and we Voters of American Progressive Enlightenment must lobby to crush out every aspect of culture that suggests otherwise.

You are oversimplifying it:

NBA - Physical attributes do matter a lot. NBAs management, team owners, coaches tend to be non-Black.

Nobel prize - Perhaps because a good chunk of Jews tend to be into academia and research life.

I cannot comment on sales/marketing/real estate in US as I don’t live there but I’d like to believe that isn’t an active effort to keep non-whites out of these areas.

All of those things are completely different from being actively left out of meetings just because you aren’t an Indian.
Google & Apple already run custom chips, Meta and MS are deploying their own soon too. Your theory is that none of them have researched non-matrix-multiplication solutions before investing billions?
> Look, Automattic can change their license away from the GPL any time they wish. The new license will only apply to new code, though, and WP Engine, or anyone else, are eligible to fork the project. That's what happened with Redis after Redis Labs dropped their BSD license and went with a commercial source-available alternative.

No, that would not be a possibility. Since Automattic is not the copyright holder and GPL prohibits redistribution under an incompatible license, unlike BSD.

Not financial expert but I think "liquidity in the market" would be more of a high-frequency trader thing. The advantage to everyone else is that good investors inject information into the market and move prices towards their "correct" price earlier, preventing other investors from buying overpriced securities. Of course they make a profit by capturing the chance to buy underpriced securities but there's still a benefit. It also ought to mean financial resources are better allocated towards companies that are profitable and/or will make a profit in the future.

tl;dr: (Actively managed) funds and investors are the Gosplan of capitalism.
Western countries aren't strong or desirable because of narrow minded monotheistic religion.

Every culture has some good and bad traits. Ideally immigration makes us all better as we learn from one another. Isolated cultures tend to become stagnant and weaker over time.
this is fascinating to me because it’s how i have handled my career and it’s had unexpected positive and negative effects. all-in-all i’m more satisfied than my friend group with my day to day work existence but am steps behind them in the traditional career path milestones. though i lack the titles they have, i’m squarely median when it comes to annual base income, which is comfortable and provides very well for my family. however, i’m beginning to age and realize that potential employers are beginning to balk at my title/“informal” leadership (read “experience”) with my age and salary and duration in the workforce.
Tribalism and slave mentality can coexist.
I have many Indian colleagues and they do tend not to speak English among them in the office. There needs to be someone else involved in the conversation for them to stick to English.

Another aspect is that I have found that they are quite hierarchical, probably a cultural trait. So how much they stick to English also depends on how senior the "non-Indian(s)" are compared to them. If you are their senior they are very nice.

Nothing? Trump talks a lot. He didn't "drain the swamp" while he was president and he did not release the Kennedy CIA archives (he promised both).

He'll get a call from Thiel or Musk that they still need H1Bs, and that will be the end of it.

(I still think Trump is the lesser evil, since he is far more competent in foreign policy and the economy will improve. And he does exactly nothing w.r.t the scary sounding election talk.)

I would hope any sensible person would look at two comments by two people saying that they are being excluded by each others groups and think "the issue is people being excluded because they are not part of the 'in' group in their workplace, and people should work to be more inclusive" rather than concluding that the problem lies with Indian or non-Indian people specifically
Just the fact that one can insert a USB drive into the air-gapped system amazes me. I remember my days as a contractor at NATO and nothing could be plugged into those machines!

I guess the problem is that most air-gapped guides and practices out there mostly focus on sucking the "air" out of computers: internet, networking, bluetooth, etc from the get-go ("remove the network card before starting!"). But even air-gapped systems need some sort of input/output, so a keyboard, mouse/trackpad, displays and monitors will be connected to it - all pretty much vectors for an attack; a base sw will be installed (making possible supply-chain attacks); largely USB drives and even local networking may be present.

As a general rule, I'd say anything that executes code in a processor can be breached to execute malicious code somehow. Signing executables helps, but it's just another hoop to jump over. In fact I thought the threat in OP was about a USB firmware issue, but alas, it was just an executable disguised with a folder icon some user probably clicked on.

To make things worse, critical hardware (trains, power plants...) vendor's fondness for Windows is notorious. Just try to find nix-compatible infrastructure hardware controllers at, say, a supplier like ABB who (among other many things) makes hydroelectric power-plant turbines and controllers: https://library.abb.com/r?dkg=dkg_software - spoiler, everything is Windows-centric, there's plenty of non-signed .EXEs for download at their website. This is true in many other critical industries. So common it's scary these things could be compromised and the flood gates, literally, opened wide open.
The point is when government does something malicious explicitly to make money, the last thing they should ever get is an exemption. If our society was equitable the politicians that were involved in that farce would be required to personally show up and remove leaded pipes from people's residence.

i think the joke requires knowledge that, if the exe is compromised, there's zero ways in hardware you can enforce read only mode on a USB stick, so it's probably done in software and is moot.

Agree. Hassabis is more than a manager. He did start DeepMind with just a few people and was a big part of the brains behind it.

Now that it has grown he might be doing more management. But the groundwork that went into AlphaFold was built on all the earlier Alphaxxx things they have built, and he contributed.

It isn't like other big tech managers that just got some new thing dumped in their lap. He did start off building this.
