If the claim that the blogosphere is dying is true, does that imply the public intellectual commons is dying too? I suspect that while the cosyweb is more pleasant for most, this retreat might hinder vital testing and cross-pollination of ideas, and make it much harder for people to polarize into being intellectually active. For example, I've never been an active participant on ribbonfarm, but Rao's writing has made me a little smarter and inclined towards certain vectors of thought. And you can see ripples of his work in later writing by others.

What a shame it would be for this culture to be lost; while there's a lot of dross in the blogosphere, I don't know if the brightest jewels will still be possible in a future system of local, private, transient clusters of thought.

> Meanwhile, low-end computers ship with a dozen 10+Gbit class transceivers on USB, HDMI, Displayport, pretty much any external port except for ethernet, and twice that many on the PCIe backbone. But 10Gbit ethernet is still priced like it's made from unicorn blood.

You really can’t think of any major difference between 10G Ethernet and all of those other standards that might be responsible for the price difference?

Look at the supported lengths and cables. 10G Ethernet over copper can go an order of magnitude farther over relatively generic cables. Your USB-C or HDMI connections cannot go nearly as far and require significantly more tightly controlled cables and shielding.

That’s the difference. It’s not easy to accomplish what they did with 10G Ethernet over copper. They used a long list of tricks to squeeze every possible dB of SNR out of those cables. You pay for it with extremely complex transceivers that require significant die area and a laundry list of complex algorithms.

This only works tor RSA keys and I believe ciphers that do not have forward secrecy. Quic is TLS 1.3 and all the ciphers in that protocol do forward secrecy so cannot be decrypted in this way. You’ll have to use a tool that provides the TLS session info through the SSLKEYLOGFILE format.

Plenty of people are commenting on how modern microcontrollers are better than the 555. I agree, with a caveat: the 555 is a great learning tool. It is complex enough to be interesting, yet simple enough to be well understood. It is easy to clip an oscilloscope to it's pins to have a visual representation of how its inputs affects its outputs. It is a stepping stone that helps people learn how to build more complex circuits. Much as some software developers have to understand assembly language to build the most fundamental bits of software (e.g. compilers), some people have need to understand electronics to build the most fundamental bits of hardware.
Because autism got a shit ton of research funding from scared parents a decade ago
Another way of looking at it is the 555 is useless without multiple extra parts, where as most MCUs can operate with only a bypass cap (and even that is often optional in practice). But you do have to buy a programmer ($5 these days) and get comfortable with firmware, which puts some analog folks off. I'll admit that there is a certain elegance and appeal to using only parts you fully understand and nothing extraneous.
And they are invariably inferior to the latest models of higher end consumer TVs for movies and gaming. Older panels, poorer contrast ratio, if they even support HDR or VRR. For even partial feature parity they will be thousands more in cost. Outdoor and digital signage panels are great for their intended purpose only.

Show me the commercial equivalent to the LG G4.

And even these commercial TVs may be “dumber” but they still have firmware and it can still have some of the same nuisances. Meanwhile you can opt out of most shit on the smart TV and just not leave it connected.
> If anything, unit tests are the most brittle and susceptible to low-level changes.

I don't find this to be the case if the unit tests are precise (which they should be).

That is, if you are writing non-flaky unit tests which do all the "right" unit-testy things (using fakes/dependency injecting well and so isolating and testing only the unit under test), you should end up with a set of tests that

- Fails only when you change the file/component the test relates to

- Isn't flaky (can be run ~10000 times without failing)

- Is quick (you can do the 10000 run loop above approximately interactively, in a few minutes, by running in parallel saturating a beefy workstation)

This compares to integration/e2e tests which inherently break due to other systems and unrelated assumptions changing (sometimes legitimate, sometimes not), and can have rates of flakyness of 1-10% due to the inherent nature of "real" systems failing to start occasionally and the inherently longer test-debug cycle that makes fixing issues more painful (root causing bug that causes a test to fail 1% of the time is much easier when the test takes .3 CPU-seconds than when it takes 30 or 300 CPU-seconds).

Very few tests I see are actually unit tests in the above sense, many people only write integration tests because the code under test is structured in inherently un- or difficult- to test ways.

> The fact that certain cognitive tasks, like comprehension, can proceed without engaging traditional language-related brain regions doesn't mean thought doesn't use language

All other things being equal, its is a reason to provisionally reject the hypothesis that those kinds of thought use language as introducing entities (the ties between those kinds of thought and language) into the model of reality being generated that are not needed to explain any observed phenomenon.

> String headers aren’t even a performance issue at all.

That is universally incorrect. String instructions require parsing as strings are for humans and binary is for machines. There is performance overhead to string parsing always, and it is relatively trivial to perf. I have performance tested this in my own WebSocket and test automation applications. That performance difference scales in logarithmic fashion provided the quantity of messages to send/receive. I encourage you to run your own tests.
Are you sure?

Destructive Tightening
Except, it's not an advantage in any practical sense. Programmers cost pennies, toolchains are free and easy to use, and there are ample examples for simple tasks such as "toggle a pin in a particular way". The overall learning curve is almost certainly less steep than the learning curve for all the modes and quirks of the 555.

What matters in production is that a 555-based circuit will use more power, that it's four components to source and install instead of one, and so on. Don't get me wrong, I like the 555, just like I like vacuum tubes, but it's nearly as dead.

That sounds like a problem with the medical gatekeeping industry rather than anything fundamental. Like a blanket diagnosis of "human" would get you the same thing, but for the middlemen realizing that would completely destroy one of the levers they use to defraud.

Reminding is different than being the same.

For example, Big5/OCEAN/FiveFactor model uses factor analysis which has statistical reasoning behind the number of factors. In fact, the semantic meaning of the factors comes up after the analysis, not before. It's the same as clustering or GMM, the semantic meaning of the clusters is applied after the partitioning.

The concept of partitioning people is the same, however, the order by which meaning is applied is opposite which makes them completely different in practice.
> Do you beleive that meritocracy leads to better outcomes?

Do you believe that being rich implies merit? I would argue most exceptionally wealthy people are likely to be at or above average intelligence, but the unifying element is luck. Being in the right place at the right time with the right amount of money, and knowing the right people to bring it together.

Very few people have the means to even try to build SpaceX, so it’s hard to say how the average person measures up.

> Why do you think that the government is better positioned to allocate resources than the people who made the money?

I don’t, but I do think letting private citizens fling around “space program” quantities of money is going to end poorly. The state depends on the monopoly on violence to function, and every day we move closer to that monopoly only existing because rich private citizens choose to allow it.

Building a Rods From God platform is not out of Elons reach. I don’t think he would do it, but the potential is concerning to say the least. It would be better to reign that in before it becomes a problem than to wait until it is a problem.
Thanks for bringing it up. I had a good read. I agree entirely with Steele! It's ironic, however, that it's written in the context of Java - he mentions just three features that would make Java growable: generics, operator overloading, and value types. We all know how it went: generics were added sometime later, but there's still no operator overloading, and value types came to the language 20 years after the talk :)
I adore 11ty. It’s not inherently component driven, but it’s super straightforward and endlessly customizable. It allows you to really experiment with organization, too. I like it a lot.
For local purposes that's certainly true. It seems that quic trades a faster connection establishment for lower throughput. I personally prefer tcp anyway.

While I largely agree, I think this is inaccurate:

> Whoever owns the lowest levels of the architecture, dictates everything

I think in IT, the people who can create most complexity for others, while keeping things relatively simpler for themselves, can dictate. Because these people then can sell the expertise, since they "produce" it cheaper than everyone else.

Using HW barriers, or just closed-sourcing the stuff just happen to be quite effective ways how to make things complex for others and simple for yourself. Another way is to create your own language, standard or API. Yet another way is network barrier and data ownership (aka SaaS).

My point is, it's possible to dictate on any level, not just the lowest.
Tailscale sets up point-to-point WireGuard VPNs and only proxies through their relay servers when they can't establish a direct connection. In my experience that's pretty rare, Tailscale tries a whole bunch of NAT traversal tricks before falling back to relay mode.

Their free tier is pretty generous because it's basically a way for Tailscale to get homelabbers hooked on the product so they'll recommend a corporate plan at work. They even state as much: https://tailscale.com/blog/free-plan

Bingo, the problem is that with a world population of 8 billion, there are easily 8 million people who genuinely do want to see vast amounts of furry porn the moment they open up an app.

Filtering out even a tenth of them, say 800 000, just takes too much effort for a startup, so there’s no viable pathway without being incredibly popular and scaling incredibly quickly to just drown out all the unpalatable users. i.e. Tiktok
Because?

"Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so" = "neither will I administer a substance I know to be deleterious or harmful to life." The very first definition of "poison" in the OED is: "Material that causes illness or death when introduced into or absorbed by a living organism."

Medicine has a therapeutic window that's context-dependent. Part of the doctor's job, which is why they make real money and have relatively high social status, is determining the right course of treatment from that context. To cure -- not to harm, not to kill. If a cure is impossible, to comfort.

> What is a greater relief then death? Or less flippantly, who gets to decide what relief is, if not the patient?

Patients have every right to refuse treatment. They can also end their own lives; nothing could be simpler. What's perverse is forcing the medical establishment -- in view of its other responsibilities, duties, and oaths -- to act as executioner. It disgraces everybody involved. The doctor ends up dishonored, the state itself is shamed, the human dignity of the patient is, frankly, severely reduced.

https://hackaday.io/project/182915-555enabled-microprocessor
It's a long story featuring nasty partisan politics, corrupt incumbents, Rupert Murdoch, and agile upstarts doing stealth rollouts at the crack of dawn.

Basically, the old copper lines were replaced by the NBN, which is a government-owned corporation that sells wholesale networking to telcos. Essentially, the government has a monopoly, providing the last-mile fibre links. They use nested VLANs to provide layer-2 access to the consumer telcos.

Where it got complicated was that the right-wing government was in the pocket of Rupert Murdoch, who threatened them with negative press before an upcoming election. They bent over and grabbed their ankles like the good little Christian school boys they are, and torpedoed the NBN network technology to protect the incumbent Fox cable network. Instead of fibre going to all premises, the NBN ended up with a mix of technologies, most of which don't scale to gigabit. It also took longer and cost more, despite the government responsible saying they were making these cuts to "save taxpayer money".

Also for political reasons, they were rolling it out starting at the sparse rural areas and leaving the high-density CBD regions till last. This made it look bad, because if they spent $40K digging up the long rural dirt roads to every individual farmhouse, it obviously won't have much of a return on the taxpayer's investment... like it would have if deployed to areas with technology companies and their staff.

Some existing smaller telcos noticed that there was a loophole in the regulation that allowed them to connect the more lucrative tech-savvy customers to their own private fibre if it's within 2km of an existing line. Companies like TPG had the entire CBD and inner suburban regions of every major city already 100% covered by this radius, so they proceeded to leapfrog the NBN and roll out their own 100 Mbps fibre-to-the-building service half a decade ahead. I saw their unmarked white vans stealthily rolling out extra fibre at like 3am to extend their coverage area before anyone in the government noticed.

The funny part was that FttB uses VDSL2 boxes in the basement for the last 100m going up to apartments, but you can only have one per building because they use active cross-talk cancellation. So by the time the NBN eventually got around to wiring the CBD regions, they got to the apartments to discover that "oops, too late", private telcos had gotten there first!

There were lawsuits... which the government lost. After all, they wrote the legislation, they were just mad that they hadn't actually understood it.

Meanwhile, some other incumbent fibre providers that should have disappeared persisted like a stubborn cockroach infestation. I've just moved to an apartment serviced by OptiComm, which has 1.1 out of 5 stars on Google... which should tell you something. They even have a grey fibre box that looks identical to the NBNCo box except it's labelled LBNCo with the same font so that during a whirlwind apartment inspection you might not notice that you're not going to be on the same high-speed Internet as the rest of the country.
"Why are the polls so immobile?"

Cos polls are made by calling people. And the only folks still answering their phones (and then actually interested in giving their political opinion) coming from random numbers skew older.
"safer than a human driver for years" can be misleading, since the system is supervised - it assists the human driver. So what we're comparing is human+FSD vs avg car (with whatever driver assist it has).

The claim that FSD+human is safer than an average car is old and has since been debunked: if instead of comparing vs all cars (old and new, with and without driver assistance) you compare like for like: other cars of similar price also with cruise control and lanekeeping assistance, then the Tesla cars are as safe as the others.

And to be clear, none of those are autonomous. There is a certification process for autonomous cars, followed by Waymo Mercedes and others. Tesla has not even started this process.
