I was once in a congress, where one of the first developers of ARM was there and told the history of the company. And I perspicuously remember he saying "at the beginning was all about money, every little transistor was important, every transistor less, was a cheaper system. The same savings in money where the key to later be able to do low power processors, because is basically the same optimization"

So sorry, but I have to partly disagree, they did.

As a current PhD candidate, I have two thoughts:

1. Who is this for? My program doesn't have a publication requirement, but it's sort of an implicit expectation and it helps to definitively answer the question of whether I've made substantial contributions to my field (so it takes some pressure off of my committee in deciding whether I should graduate). So, yeah, I need publications. But my advisor and committee members know full-well what I'm working on. I can't just point to three random papers with my name on them (along with the names of other people they don't know) about things like "the activity of ground beetles attacking crops in Kazakhstan." That would demand a lot of... explanation. My advisor who will be up for tenure next year also needs publications, but again, how would this help him?

2. Nevermind outright fraud; during my literature review I've come across a number of astonishingly crappy papers in what appear to be legitimate journals and conference proceedings, bearing the names of reputable organizations like the IEEE. I'm talking about stuff that's almost totally unintelligible, like it was written by a bot in, say, Chinese and then run through machine translation into English without any human editing it (back before bots and machine translation got much better with LLMs). On one hand, I look at what gets accepted into the top-tier conferences and journals and I feel like I can't possibly compete; like I'm a raw amateur baseball player batting against MLB pitchers. But then I see some of what gets into these lower-tier venues that I've previously never heard of, and I'm like, "Ok, I can do much better than this!"
Thanks for sharing your experience! Completely agree - there's often a huge gap between the perception that testing is "solved" and the reality of manual QA still being necessary, even for core features. We recently had a call with one of the largest US mobile teams and were surprised to learn they're still doing extensive manual testing because some use cases remain uncovered by traditional tools. It's definitely not as "solved" as many might think.
That could evolve into a political flamewar very fast ..
You could have solved this issue. Your coding fingers turned into complaining fingers. If you really had a problem, you should have opened a PR with a license instead of demanding that OP do it on your timeline.
Ah, you're the author. :D

I mean, kudos for sticking to it over the years in spite of the mountain of criticism, but I personally confirmed a few months ago that it's indeed half-baked. :) Certain features work sometimes, but often fail in cryptic ways. The documentation is a mixture of missing, outdated, wrong or aspirational. I've forgotten the specifics, but I remember being frustrated by it relatively quickly, and abandoning it altogether in less than a week. Good luck with it anyway!
perhaps we'd reevaluate our sense of the grey lady's importance even more than we have already been?
Minor point, but the author says about Clerk that they’d glady pay 1% of revenue for a polished auth solution.

That might be true for a side project, but that would be an absurd figure for an established company. Can you imagine a company with $100M revenue paying Clerk $1M a year? I’d find that deeply concerning.
Right, and this is incredibly sad and pathetic. Sorry to say. You're bending over and appealing to the wants of the people who exploit you.

Has it never occurred to you that it's beneficial to those who run industrial laundry to make you feel as though you cannot demand better? Because that's what you're saying here - "some people have it worse, therefore I should be grateful and never demand better"

You understand such a mindset is one inherently designed to make you as unsuccessful as possible? This is self-destructive. This is very common anti-union propaganda, for example.

What you're missing is that while you were working in industrial laundry you actually were very privileged. Many, many people worked jobs so much worse than yours you can't even conceptualize it. What, then, do you think they're thinking of you? Perhaps... the exact same thoughts you have? So why not then cut the pay of those in industrial laundry? Why not then whip them into shape? Better yet, let us chain them to the floors, for then maybe they'll understand our graciousness.

There is always a bigger fish. If you believe you're the biggest fish, then not only are you pathetic, you're also stupid.
Indeed - the 'dynamic' comes from 'dynamic logic'. Wikipedia: "It is distinguished from the so-called static logic by exploiting temporary storage of information in stray and gate capacitances." What Dennard realised was that you don't actually need to have a separate capacitor to hold the bit value - the bit value is just held on the stray and gate capacitance of the transistor that switches on when that bit's row and column are selected, causing the stray capacitance to discharge through the output line.

Because of that, the act of reading the bit's value means that the data is destroyed. Therefore one of the jobs of the sense amplifier circuit - which converts the tiny voltage from the bit cell to the external voltage - is to recharge the bit.

But that stray capacitance is so small that it naturally discharges through the high, but not infinite, resistance when the transistor is 'off'. Hence, you have to refresh DRAM, by regularly reading every bit frequently enough that it hasn't discharged before you got to it. Usually you might only need to read every row frequently enough, because there's actually a sense amplifier for each column, reading all the bit values in that row, with the column address strobe just selecting which column bit gets output.
I would _guess_ that the systemic solution to this problem is one of those whole device VPNs that doesn't choose to hide your location but rather blocks access to ad and tracker networks.

It's just good business. It's never a great idea to have only one source of income (especially one as inherently risky as YouTube). That's a serious vulnerability.

Ideally, you not only have multiple sources but you choose the sources so that they have different economic dependencies. That way, conditions that adversely impact one of them don't adversely impact the others -- or, even better, so that conditions that adversely impacts one positively impacts another.
Early in my career as a brand new baby mechanical design engineer, I would have absolutely made some huge mistakes were I not able to pick up my drawings and ask a machinist with 30 years of experience if I was being an idiot or not. I learned just as much from the welders and machinists as I did from my boss.
To plays devils advocate a little, what happens if the union does strike and the NYT carries on like or mostly-like normal? That could show the weakness of the strike.
I sponsored implementing the client side for FreeBSD when I worked at a large service provider. The use is cleaner when you have control of both ends, such as a cache/proxy to origin or peer cache and you aren't going to be subject to packet manglers and can configure a shared cookie out of band.

The typical microservices misarchitecture would really benefit from this kind of thing since the setup time of TCP is substantial.

We did have some ambitions to expose TFO to customers in some way but unfortunately I left before that ever went under test to see how it could be commercialized.

You're totally right here, but "debugging failed tests" is a mature problem that assumes you have working tests and people to write them. Most companies don't have the resources to dedicate full engineer time to QA, and if they do nobody maintains the test.

I don't think this statement will ever be false in my lifetime.
EQ is definitely learnable. Over twenty years I've gone from clueless to perceptive if I'm paying attention. Unfortunately, in familiar groups where I feel emotionally safe, I tend not to pay the attention as much and just enjoy myself, and then I say things without thinking through how other people might perceive them.
I don't know, I just tested the Meta Quest last night and at $300 it looked GOOD. Give it a few years and I bet they could get that level of fidelity into a glass frame @ ~$1000-1200
I mean, that goes both ways. The union doesn't see a point to negotiating with a brick wall, either, and a strike is intended to generate leverage to push negotiations forwards. That's how the whole system works.

> The best way I've found is: stop using apps.

This is what I'm doing as well. Apps have increasingly gotten more annoying in more ways - from unnecessary pop-up notifications (increased permission requests, policy updates, review pan-handling, etc), privacy issues, data hoarding and more. I also hate that almost all of the few remaining apps I do use are constantly pushing new versions into the app store, invariably with only a vaguely non-specific unchanging boilerplate sentence as a change log. Yet I never notice any new functionality or capabilities in the app and all-too-often updates only bring more ads, cross-promotion or other general enshittification (like just renaming or regrouping the same functionality in different ways - apparently for no reason other than to increase some internal aggregate 'usage metric' to hit a KPI). Although I don't know this, I assume app store algorithms must somehow (perhaps unintentionally) incentivize developers to constantly update their apps for little or no reason.

So, as a group, the long-term behavior of app developers has taught me to resist updating the few apps I do still have installed.

> Snap initially considered migrating to IPv6, but concerns about application readiness and interoperability led them to adopt dual-stack GKE nodes and GKE pods (IPv6 + Class E IPv4). This solution mitigated IP exhaustion and provided Snap with multiple years of IP address scale needed to support future growth and reduce operational overhead. In addition, this approach also aligned with Snap’s long-term strategy for migrating to IPv6.

Yet another horrible hack to avoid having to actually learn IPv6.

1. Considering that it works with people CV, the 404-page displayed instead of the privacy policy is... well... and interesting technical decision.

2. Having an LLM write my cover/motivation letter kind of defeats the purpose of the document, doesn't it? (Though I must admit, I always felt it only to be pre-emptive bootlicking without real value, so whatever, I guess)
That is my interest in risc v as well. However, experience watching adoption has shown me that the vast majority of consumers couldn't give a crap less about the ideals that we care about. They will go with whatever is cheapest, fastest, or both. If we want risc v to win, which I very much do, then it will need to be at least competitive, if not superlative.

Continue to employ them, force them to strike on the "biggest night of the year for your company" (i'm thinking do some pay cuts or something more) - then let the striking workers watch on as nobody cares and realise that you no longer have any bargaining power.

I don’t think that simply grabbing people from a handful of countries somehow cancels out groupthink from the data, which is more likely to affect perceptions of wisdom. Especially when information on who to trust is constantly pushed by globalist media organizations.

Take COVID for example, the WHO was universally portrayed as wise. The world went along with their conclusions but Sweden, South Korea and large parts of the US obviously didn’t, despite having little in common culturally. My conclusion is that perceptions of wisdom are more a function of the media than they are any particular culture or nationality.

Journals are not some natural resource that is only found in certain places but not others. People create journals. With current technology, a barrier for establishing a journal is quite low. Nothing prevents people in academia from creating journals and from making them open access. If they prefer the easier option - using existing structure with gatekeepers and rent seekers - it's certainly not capitalism's fault.
tokens are on average four characters and the number of residual streams (and therefore RAM) the LLM allocates to a given sequence is proportionate to the number of units of input. the flops is proportionate to their square in the attention calculation.

you can hypothetically try to ameliorate this by other means, but if you just naively drop from tokenization to character or byte level models this is what goes wrong
I have my own VPN I setup for anything serious. I like the interface and convenience of this one better than anything else, but yea, I agree. Their claim also that they don't keep logs or give any user info away I know is disputed and probably generally untrue, but they seem like one of the better behaved commercial ones that won't use your bandwidth as an unwitting node in their network (at least from what I can tell, if this is untrue, please correct me).

It's one of those tiny costs that ultimately don't matter, "the principle" of it is sometimes not worth it to me to do anything about. VPN is a generally scummy business from what I can tell.

Let's discuss this:

> 100% Homicide cases cleared in Cobb County, Georgia and Riverside, California with the help of Flock*

> *As of March 2023 Cobb County PD in Georgia reports, “Over the last two years... we’ve had 62 homicides and solved 100% of those homicides.”

I'm sure people's initial gut reaction is "100% murder solves is awesome!" because, well, yeah. But we need to quantify what a "solve" is: You charge someone with murder; the secondary concern is if they did it.

When you read extremely high figures like 100% solves in 62 murders over two-years, one has to wonder if this is the most effective detective work ever, or they're finding any warm bodies to charge to pump the stats. As the article about this says, the national average is closer to 50%, and even that is known to contain wrongly charged and or convicted people.

Do people really believe that a couple of hundred cameras in fixed public locations really improved the solve rate that much? I'm extremely skeptical.

And:

> 90% Michigan freeway shootings resulted in arrests with the help of Flock*

> * As of July 2023, Michigan State Police reports using Flock in 90% of the freeway shootings having an arrest in all of them.

So now we're using arresting people (not charges, or convictions) as our yard stick? So we're rewarding police departments for going out and finding anyone who may be loosely connected, taking away their civil liberties, in order to look better on paper? That's outright gross. Major red flag.

Let's just say for the sake of argument that "Flock Safety" helps police find/arrest/charge legitimate suspects. There must be better ways of showing it. Also someone needs to look into Cobb County PD in Georgia for the quality of their murder charges, because that stat is more indicative of abuse than competence.*
This does nothing for a mobile device that either concurrently maintains its cellular 'data' connection together with its Wi-Fi connection (and whose apps are permitted to access both)—or leaves the LAN without connecting remotely via a force-tunneled VPN. And even with such a VPN, the cellular NIC continues to maintain baked-in alternate routes on both Android and iOS. All that's before we even get into specific Pi-Hole and LAN config, not to mention DoH.

Krebs and everyone else he cites is right—it's time for Apple and Google to eliminate MAID altogether.

With subtyping, the type checker would understand that the list type is covariant and would accept a record with more irrelevant fields, because that's a valid subtype.

Without subtyping, the rest part needs to be identical for each element of the list. In fact you cannot even express the concept of a list with different rest parts. The key thing to understand is that the rest part never really disappears. The type checker always deduces what the rest part should be in every case. In languages like Haskell you can work around this by using existential quantification but that's a whole different extension to the type system, and one that's certainly not as flexible as full subtyping.
Many programs have explicit (and often ridiculously high - e.g. 3+ first-author papers for a PhD) publication requirements. On top of this, many evaluation committees for grants, tenure, etc. simply count papers as opposed to actually reading them, leading to distorted incentives.
