This is a great thought experiment!

The design goal is to build a computer that lasts 50 years. To me this implies a design that is modular and repairable and possibly not based on something you can buy today. I don't want to base my computer on the products that existed 50 years ago or the products I can buy today.

What would I give up in order to get a computer (hardware and software) that lasts 50 years? Size, weight, speed, complexity. Sure.

We now know a lot about change so I need a device that accounts for almost every technology that I use today to have evolved significantly. So I need some long term features.

I want to think in terms of modules, which may be independent physical things. I also want a case to put it all in.

Over the next 50 years I (and my grandchildren) need to be able to repair and replace any part that breaks and continue to evolve the modules that I use, the case and the way the modules interact with each other. My needs will continue to evolve. The rest of the world will continue to evolve around me and I still want to interact with it and its services.

I think some things are constant. I need power; a way to input data; process and store it; usefully share it with others; and a way to output that data.

My modules may therefore include a keyboard, some sort of pointing device and potentially other input devices in the future; a power supply; a bunch of CPU's for various purposes in one or more modules; a set of storage and archive devices; networking; one or more output devices, perhaps a screen or two.

Perhaps the most important thing is an idea, philosophy and a clear idea of what I want the device to do. The article talks about typewriters which are clear on each of these points. I also like the idea that I will need an emotional investment in whatever I end up with.

If I wanted to experiment today I would start with a bunch of Raspberry Pi's and their kindred microcontrollers. Each of my modules would contain one or more of these devices. I would pick a set of connection standards. I don't know where the idea's go from there but it would be fun to find out!
Player.style is excellent!

In my last startup I started to build my own video.js theme, and after a few hours realized it probably wasn't worth my time and stuck with the defaults. Going forward these themes would give me a much better starting point to do something more custom.

Thanks for sharing!
WebGL sort of makes webpages API-specific already by pretty much forcing them to implement OpenGLES. I think if anything SPIR-V is less imposing on the OS because you don't have to implement the whole GLSL front of the compiler and you can just deal with the intermediary.

You end up with a strange situation where a company like apple doesn't want to support OpenGL or provide a translation layer in their OS, but they effectively end up doing so in their browser anyways.

But the downside of GLSL I think is that you make the web less "open" because GLSL (or whatever SL) isn't immediately transparent to the user. In the same way we usually expect to open up a webpage and inspect the javascript (because it is typically not minified by convention) whereas the introduction of WASM will require a decompiler to do the same.

The web so far has been a kind of a strange bastion for freedom with adblockers and other types of plugins being able to easily modify webpages. In the future this will be more difficult with web apps as it would amount to decompiling and patching a portable executable (flutter, etc).
Please explain how Hopfield network influenced modern deep learning models based on supervised differentiable training. All the "impactful" architectures such as MLP, CNN, Attention, come from a completely different paradigm, a paradigm that could be more straightforwardly connected to optimization theory.

DXC can already compile to SPIR-V (with some missing features/limitations IIRC), this just effectivly replaces DXIL with SPIR-V in future shader models and makes it THE language the compiler speaks.

They are also slowly but surely porting their DXC compiler (forked from Clang 3.6 I think) to upstream Clang.
Apple and all the big players bring a lot of engineering knowledge to the table, but they also indulge in corporate sabotage on a regular basis.
I've had 2 (so far)

I was part of a team which built a very early telehealth platform. A bunch of the work was open-sourced as rtc.io (though I didn't have much to do with that). The resulting company and tech is used by a few million people a month (I think).

I built an ML system used at a large drop-ship retailer which ingested huge excel spreadsheets of products from suppliers and added them to the retailers database in a consistent manner. This made a painstaking and horrible job for 12 people into a job that was done by 2 people 2 hours per week. Yes, we replaced people in their jobs, and I hope they all went on to get better jobs, because everyone hated that job, and most people only lasted a few months.

I also was founder of Ayvri (3d mapping sports tech for paragliders) - I don't put this in the same category as the others, though it was the most lucrative for me, because though paragliders loved it, as did a few ultramarathoners, etc. I don't think it really had the level of impact.

For the last 4 years the team I worked with in telehealth have returned to our health roots and are working on improving sleep with affectablesleep.com

They had trouble with feeding the people because Southern policy to deter the war (Cotton is King speech) was to stop the cultivation of cotton.

The article is about how static sites are too complicated for normal people to set up, so people aren't getting those benefits for free because it's too hard for them to do.

Edit: The other thing is that non-technical users want a WYSIWYG editor. They don't want to edit markdown or html text files. So once you have all the infrastructure in place to support that it's not really any more complicated to make your customers' webpages dynamic as well.

it's a complicated issue, I just want twitter back to keep with the current papers.
Physicists have learned quite a bit about the fundamental structure of the cosmos in the last 500 years. We can get into philosophical quibbles over what is knowledge and the relationship between approximations to reality, but we have clearly developed a very rich understanding of how the world works. A lot of the fundamentals are very clearly known. Entropy and statistical mechanics have been part of physics for 150 years and have clearly enhanced our understanding of the universe. Claude Shannon’s work definitively helped us understand the world more deeply. I think deep learning is interesting but it would be a stretch to claim that this has enriched our understanding of the universe by a large margin. Definitely not as much as Shannon’s work.
I’d love to see something on the foundation website which explains this.

Really does seem like it came down to this point. Musk hoped Brazilian users would get angry with the government, and they just downloaded bluesky instead. Musk lost a month of Brazilian revenue and gained nothing.

I followed some Brazilians on my (mostly unused) bluesky account. Will be interesting to see if they stick around there, return to twitter, or use both.

Right, but nothing's new about that. I, like I assume every other American high school student of my time (high school in the 90s), read it and discussed it.

My practice for each new generation of device is to copy everything I am interested in to a newer technology while I still have a device that can read the old media.

I have been mostly successful in capturing the files but I have a bunch that are in a format that I no longer have software to read.

I lot is in folders with at least a year in their names but otherwise unprocessed. Lots of duplication. No effective way to find things I might have lost.

I encrypted some stuff but lost track of the keys and the software to decrypt so that data is now lost.

Science had evolved massively in 50 years. We used to put lead in gasoline too.
Elon Musk's companies are doing great under the democratic administration he publicly rails against. He's back on top of the richest list. Peter Thiel's portfolio seems to be doing great. PLTR is up 350% in the past five years. Facebook altered it's policies in a pro-conservative way by allowing falsehoods in political ads, and they're doing fine. Right-wing content has flourished there for years. Oracle and Larry Ellison are doing better than ever. Rupert Murdoch and News Corp are financially healthy and not in crisis.

Now twitter is doing badly, but that's not because of their political slant, it's because they're operating the business with ideology first, business acumen second approach. That's not politics, that's plain old bad execution.

There's some weirdness around focus going on here, hopefully this comes across as constructive criticism. All of them have the same problem:

When you click on the scrubber, the left and right arrow keys stop working. Also, the up and down arrow keys start working to rewind/advance the video a different amount of time.

If you click in void space, e.g. on the Winamp example or the blue bar that looks like windows 98 on the Reelplay example - both of these controls stop working, as well as space to play/pause.

Another "interactive" part: contact forms.

Not every business site wants comments, but they'll probably want a contact form. Putting an email address out is an alternative, but handling the input pipeline is better.

On a static site that requires finding a service they trust to handle the submission and correctly plug it in their site. It becomes another moving part, potentially another bill that needs to be paid separately, another bit to deal with when the industry consolidates etc.

This seems like the only default that's reasonable to me

don't know if the author has a specific example in mind, but if a user submits an input, changes that input mid-request and submits again the request needs to be cancelled, otherwise the UI will be inconsistent by showing a response to an outdated input

Just processing one response after the other won't be possible if a response swaps out content with different IDs, so a second response won't be able to be swapped out in the same way

People like designing and making games, so they design and make games… Making the engine (or underlying framework, whatever) is just not necessary for that goal.

There are relatively few game designs (especially with indie scope!) where a custom engine is truly necessary.

For the tinker/hacker types, there are plenty of things to do at a “lower level” within the engine itself (note: I don’t necessarily mean modifying the source code). There are all kinds of different ways to structure things within the confines of the engine, and lots of other ways of building frameworks and GUI tools within the engine too.

Here is the original source for the claim, which is on Automattic's website: https://automattic.com/2024/10/02/wordpress-trademarks-a-leg...

The author is identified as Neil Peretz, who it says is an associate general counsel at Automattic. He says:

"The Foundation also licensed the name WordPress to the non-profit WordPress.org, which runs a website that facilitates access to WordPress-related software."

A graphic included in the post similarly claims that "Right to use name as part of non-profit activities" went to WordPress. With the arrow coming from the WordPress Foundation.

We contacted Automattic's press email for clarification on that claim on Thursday. We have yet to hear back and the post hasn't been updated.

> don't say liquidity in the market cause that's a line of bullshit

It's not a line of bullshit. For every notable prop shop (that is, attempting to trade one's own money for profit, which you may view as an illegitimate market activity) there is in the market, there are 100x as many portfolio managers (who manage other people's money, such as pension funds, which you may view as a more legitimate use of the market).

Every trade that a "legitimate" entity puts on has a counterparty, and the more counterparties there are from speculative activity[0], the more liquidity there is and the more efficiently things can be transacted. Everyone ends up happier.

You could argue that the field of managing money in general pays more than it is "worth", but that's kind of an argument of cosmic morality. Who should be paid more, elementary school teachers or firefighters?

Yes, this sucks that it puts road blocks for well meaning developers, but for the general public, it’s pretty hard to tell who is a well meaning developer and who isn’t. Also, inexperienced or careless well meaning developers can still accidentally put your data in a public internet facing DB.
> Nobody supporting Elon on speech

The fact that anyone takes what Musk says about free speech at face value is astounding to me.

The number of shenanigans that have occurred on Twitter to make some speech both freer and less free depending on the ideological bent of its operator is so voluminous that it cannot be easily counted.
This is what drove me away from static sites. It's actually more work because you have to be the one to do all the stuff.

Sure, there are a few options for hosting and generating the build, but when I tried, they were not that good, or had some issues, etc... Meanwhile, wordpress.com never disappointed, and has an app for iOS and Android that you can use to update stuff whenever you are - as long as you have internet, of course.

"As Murray said at the start of year... the direction is the same – but we are going to deliver as a simpler, more focused, and higher value company," a BP spokesperson said.

Bit confused by the discrepancy of these statements. Is this because this is an insider source that has not been officially announced (seems like it), or are they saying "We still plan to cut emissions by 2050... maybe sometime later" (seems less likely).
