You need to start looking for big problems to solve.
It was once said by a guy named Bruce Williams who knew what he was talking about that the way to get rich is to solve a problem.

So what you need to do is start looking for big problems. Not big problems that are only seen by developers, but big problems that are seen by the general public. People will pay for solutions.
You will be motivated by solutions, something that you need to research the hell out of. Something you need to make connections that no one else has made before to solve. That's it

Not when they've been promoted as "woke" for years.. There's no way there's huge pent-up unmet demand for EVs in red states..
I had something similar!

300Mhz PII - it came in a black cartridge thing.

NVidia RIVA TNT which used the AGP bus on the Intel LX440 mobo.

A whopping 128Mb of RAM and 8Gb HDD.

I recall using a program called WinSplit to split the Nvidia driver over several floppy discs on my bosses Win3.1 machine in the office. I didn't have internet at home and really wanted to play Jedi Knight and Battlezone.
I still think the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gedser%E2%80%93Rostock_bridge would have been the better alternative.

„The Danish Social Liberal Party and the Danish People's Party said on 3 June 2007 that they favoured the Gedser–Rostock bridge. They were supported by traffic researchers and a consultant from the German Ministry of Traffic.“
Earlier this month, the Guardian also had an article of a German tourist who crossed over the land border (San Ysidro Port of Entry, I assume) who was detained for a long while too. The details seemed kind of similar to this situation where it involves suspicion of tourists working in the USA without the proper authorizations.
Genuine question: what would you have him do at that point instead?

He's a leader. He should lead.
Maybe it's an analogy.
Of course they called themselves Time Lords, what else would British scientists call themselves? The Kings of Lower Frequencies?

What has Poland done for the US? Apart from leaking us their plans to turn the EU into a nuclear wasteland way back. No, spending on the Polish military is not "for the US". No, preventing the EU from becoming a nuclear wasteland is not "for the US". Those things are for Poland.

On the other hand, the US will continue liking Poland as much as we always have, no matter how little (to nothing) that's done for us. As Americans, we understand friendship is usually a one way street.

Our Fair Weather Friends should make themselves known sooner rather than later. If their state television wants to dive into the anti-American propaganda, like many other EU countries and Canada do, we very well might reciprocate though.
I only have a BSc in CS, and I’ve worked with algo-trading, compilers, defi, zero-knowledge crypto, firmware for EVs and drones. And I only relocated once.

I’ve also been unemployed longer than I wanted to twice and had to swallow my pride and work on someone’s legacy to pay the bills. Switching the rockstar mentality with more humility and a sense that I’ve been very lucky was important.

Sounds like you could find a Scala job or a Rust job in your capital. They’re less rare than Haskell jobs.

As for advice: get obsessed, get good at something, don’t wait for people to pay you to excel at the tools you eventually want to master. I toyed around with Haskell for 10 years in my spare time before using it in production.
> If someone created and sold a printer that did not care about the ink that was used

Why would anyone do that. Sounds like a strawman.

All printers I've seen specify precisely what ink they need. And then you look up which 3rd party inks are compatible, so the printer gets what it want.
That's fine with me. Let's do it so we can establish precedent then hopefully legislate this in Congress.

Baby steps bro, they will all have their moment in the sun soon enough.
> If you had some that you would categorize as only bullying people that bullied others, would this fit with a justice perception? How does this account for someone "repenting," as it were, of bullying?

I think some of it was complex rivalries. Bullies on the top were the cool kids who cared about their image a lot. They mostly bullied bullies who were challenging their status. They were also more sophisticated in their bullying and have other bullies do the dirty work of physical fights.

Then there were hero bullies who targeted other bullies. These hero bullies were usually stronger kids and really looking for fights. They didn't care about their images as much. A lot of time they were already in trouble with school. They would become protectors of the weakest kids. But they were probably the most violent and beat up the bullies of those weakest kids pretty bad. Maybe they had a savior complex. We really considered them heros at the time but now I realize that they went too far and probably pushed their victim bullies to get more violent.

> For many, it often isn't even a choice moreso a by product of the general environment they find themselves in

Yes, it was indeed the environment, at least, for some kids. Almost every kid was victim and a bully at the same time. We were like dogs, there was power hierarchy that was constantly challenged and enforced. Things would be fine most of the time if you didn't challenge anyone, every once in a while someone try to establish their dominance over you by verbally or physically assaulting you.

Grin prioritizes scalability over privacy, which is fine if you don’t actually need strong privacy. But let’s not pretend optional CoinSwap is a real substitute for built-in, default anonymity. Privacy that depends on extra steps and high network usage is fragile by design.

Monero doesn’t need payjoins because every transaction is already private. And calling 4 effective decoys “deficient” ignores that Zcash’s superior privacy is irrelevant when 95% of transactions don’t even use it.

If privacy is optional, it’s just a feature. Monero makes it the foundation.
I don’t even directionally have an idea how much is it. Is it like 80% of the current total market value or 8%? My back of the envelope math plus very coarse assumptions lead me closer to 80%.
Editorial freedom like this was actually quite commonplace at US newspapers. Op-Eds criticising the paper's owner signals viewpoint independence to readers, which boosts sales. In fact, it's usually easier to criticize the owners themselves than policies the owners care about.

It's definitely used in slot machines as a lucky number. Which came first I'm not sure (but I suspect from a sibling comment in the same thread it's based on perceived commonality and primeness historically and became "lucky" in the past because of that).
Bookmarks, history, generally historical reliability, and (biggest reason for me) password manager.

I rarely have to type/remember passwords anymore on Android or web and it "just works". I know there are password managers out there that ostensibly handle the password-saving thing and are browser-agnostic but when I tried it in the past I had issues on some sites and, when it did work, it felt clunkier.
On the other hand, it’s a positive side effect of capitalism that something other than political power controls information flow.
Those are some janky diagrams. The labels are selectable, and therefore are repeatedly highlighted and un-highlighted while dragging the vector around. The "direction only" arrow prevents you from changing the magnitude, but it doesn't prevent said magnitude from changing and it does so often because the inputs are quantized but the magnitude isn't. Multiple conventions for decimals are used within the same diagram. The second diagram doesn't center the angle indicator on the actual angle. Also the "send me feedback on X" popup doesn't respond to the close button, but then disappeared when I scrolled again so maybe it did? I'm running Chrome 134.0.6998.36 for Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 build 19045.5487.

This whole thing looks like unreviewed AI. Stylish but fundamentally broken. I haven't had a chance to dig into the meat of the article yet, but unfortunately this is distracting enough that I'm not sure I will.

Edit: I'm digging into the meat, and it's better! Fortunately, it appears accurate. Unfortunately, it's rather repetitive. There's two paragraphs discussing the meaning of -1, 0, and +1 interleaved with multiple paragraphs explaining how cosine similarity allows vectors to be compared regardless of magnitude. The motivation is spread throughout the whole thing and repetitive, and the real world examples seem similar though formatted just differently enough to make it hard to tell at a glance.

To try to offer suggestions instead of just complaining... Here's my recommended edits:

I'd move the simple English explanation to the top after the intro, then remove everything but the diagrams until you reach the example. I'd completely remove the explanation of vectors unless you're going to include an explanation of dot products. I really like the functional approach, but feel like you could combine it with the `Math.hypot` example (leave the full formula as a comment, the rest is identical), and with the full example (although it's missing the `Math.hypot` optimization). Finally, I feel like you could get away with just one real web programming example, though don't know which one I'd choose. The last section about using OpenAI for embedding and it's disclaimer is already great!

Where did you find those jobs?
$5.50 for half a gallon of lactaid at my local QFC. ($5 for it at the Safeway that I'd spend another 25 minutes getting to and back from) https://imgur.com/9rpmfr2

All the sub-$5.50 options were sold out when I went last week. The gallon jugs only hit a good price point at 'buy five'.

I suppose I could move to some flyover shithole where milk is cheaper and I'd get paid one third as much, and my wife would be denied medical care by a government small enough to fit in her reproductive system, but I'm not sure that would be as big a win as one would think.
I think the other commenter is right...you're thinking of DVD-R vs DVD+R, possibly even DVD-RW and DVD+RW.

Based on the specs listed, OP was in college just before me or may have overlapped. The big gold CD-R stacks (you could bur in jewel cases, on spindles, or just gross stacks which were nice and cheap) were a huge thing with my group (who encoded to FLAC & MP3 -V0 and burned audio CDs relentlessly. We felt we were archiving our liberal arts college music library and radio library for the future! Who knows. Some of that "future" is still backed up and on hard disks, and I should migrate them to SSD or tape just on principle.

At that point CD-R were cheaper than CD-RWs, and because most archiving/distributing didn't require rewriting (not return-on-investment wise anyway), we just shared programs on CD-R as well. In some ways it was a beautiful technology! Particularly fidelity to a spec everyone tried to bend and break for a profit angle, when honestly, there was no point for many of us using CD-R
The Post has already lost a lot of the subscribers who would leave over something like this, in successive waves after: Bezos spiked the Harris endorsement, the paper blocked a political cartoon depicting Bezos and others bowing down to Trump, and the announcement of this new "two pillars" editorial policy that the blocked editorial here would have commented on. All amid a stream of resignations.

I don't know that the market can all that meaningfully discipline Bezos, even if a response had the kind of direction and magnitude that would. Though he clearly has sought profitability for the paper, running it at a loss is a drop in the bucket financially for him.
Can’t an attacker still start meaconing the original (i.e. locally captured) signal and then slowly selectively delay/advance each individual satellite component in the time and frequency domain?

Not sure how much latency that would introduce and how feasible that is in terms of tricking a receiver sensitive to any jumps/outages, and its definitely a weaker attacker capability than “simulate any time and location you want”.
> We already put nuclear-capable F-16s in Ukraine for example.

So no missiles, no missile bases. The best you can come up with are a bunch of old fighter jets delivered a full decade after Russia invaded, to shoot down cruise missiles and drones launched at Ukrainian cities. Proves the point.

The tariffs are for different purposes.

Canada's tariffs were to prop up their automotive industry. America's tariffs are to encourage nations to so more to stop importing illegal drugs into the US.
If that was the case I'm sure someone would've turned it into a test-only dependency in gentoo.
With something with more bandwidth than an RTL-SDR you may be able to at least capture the data but having dedicated hardware for the target signal is the easiest if you're looking to tune. I've seen POC Analog TV signal decoding but not digital signals in software beyond some exploration and general signal analysis.

Firefox for Android starting to share location data with third parties
Today i got a notification on my phone, that firefox is changing how it handles my location data and that it might be shared with third parties[1].

This update is yet to be included in the official play store page[2], but has already taken affect for the installed application.

[1] - https://i.imgur.com/8rBB8k4.jpeg

[2] - See play store snapshot, that states "no data is shared with third parties": https://web.archive.org/web/20250310211223/https://play.google.com/store/apps/datasafety?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en-us
This kind of thinking appears to be prevalent. "Firefox does one specific thing which I construe as evil. Therefore I use the competitor which also does this thing, plus dozens of others which are anti-competitive and generally destructive to the ecosystem."

I wanted a whiteboard app - simple, infinite, zoomable, scrollable svg-based area with custom shapes and elements. It just needed prompts like "add zoom", "add a rect shape", "add control points for resize", "add text shape", "make position attributes able to reference another objects properties, + basic arithmetic" (for example to make line connect 2 objects, or size of one mirror size of another, etc.). It made all of these with so little effort from me. I would never undertake such a project without an LLM.
What incentives does this enforce in the market? Strangling smaller players and reinforcing the dominant ones.
If you're on GCP, Google Cloud Run also "just works" quite well, too.
They will be allowed to protest, as they always have been, by taking their videos to some other distributor. That being said, after Youtube puts DRM on every video, everybody else will follow suit. Online video is a broken market that Google had absolutely no luck breaking into, so they just bought the winner.

Youtube will be as concerned about people leaving over this as they would be if a segment of creators didn't want them to use vp9 for any transcodes, or for their videos not to be viewable through Chrome. They will apologize to the half-dozen people that close their channels, and suggest that they try Rumble or whatever.
How do they finance those radio stations?
It is the stat that matters in business. NVIDIA is now an AI company with a small graphics card side hustle.

> I don't think they DID build a modern computing environment at all.

I agree that, now, after they've tried and failed, we can say they didn't build a modern computing environment in 20kloc.

My point is just that, when they were pitching the project for funding, there was no real way to know that this "trillion dollar technology" goal would fail whereas nukes/moon mission/etc. would succeed. Hindsight is 20/20, but at the beginning, I don't think any of these projects defined themselves as "doing something that lots of people are trying to do all the time;" instead they would probably say "nobody else has tried for a 20kloc modern computing system, we're going to be the first."

Given they all promised to try something revolutionary, I'm not sure it's fair to claim after-the-fact how obvious it is that one would fail to achieve that vs. another.

But I do take your point that it's important in general not to fall into the trap of "do X but tweak it to be a bit better" and expect grand results from that recipe.
Slippery slope corporate apologism.

It's like a corporation shrinking the package size of your food by 10%, keeping the price the same and then claiming you still get the "majority" of the food.
MS had a research project that built an OS from CLR.

One of the great things about it (in my opinion) was the lack of context switching. It broke a fundamental assumption about how an OS should work. It could also do global optimizations.
This could be actually one of good decisions here...
This is obviously an absurd overextrapolation, and it's unlikely that a significant number of people would actually change their name to exploit it, but the principle is accurate: If alphabetical is used consistently then someone with the last name Zelenskyy will consistently end up last in every list of coauthors, while Adams will consistently come near the top. Even if people intuitively understand that alphabetical ordering is used because all coauthors are equal, the citations will still be for Adams et al., and it's not hard to see how that would give an unfair non-merit-based leg up to Adams over Zelenskyy.

If applied consistently, random order would be a fairly sound way to ensure that over a whole career no one gets too large a leg up from their surname alone.

The conflation of SIGINT and cryptology makes me doubt the writer's understanding of the field. While cryptography and cryptanalysis have long been important to the field, they are but one aspect. I won't offer a meaningless percentage as to how important they are, but consider the importance of a) traffic analysis and b) meta-data: There are plenty of historical examples of operational decisions being made on the basis of traffic analysis and there is the oft-quoted Michael Hayden's "we kill people based on metadata".

(Then there is my favourite WWII nit: The focus on Enigma, which, while undoubtedly important, pales in comparison to Tunny. The fact that Flowers could build essentially a general purpose computer to crack a cipher based only on its apparent properties is heads-and-shoulders and all other superlatives above Enigma, for which GCHQ had working examples throughout the war. I am not downplaying the importance of the Enigma cryptanalysis work, merely suggesting that Tunny was, in the end, and strategically, far more valuable, especially once telephone communications became harder for OKW.)
Google pays many companies tens of billions to make sure Google Search is the default engine on a variety of browsers.

Something tells me a product that can garner billions of dollars will do just fine if sliced away. If Google gives firefox $500million to be the default search at 5% user share, they should pay Chrome $20 billion for the same privilege.

The true damage that should be done is to separate Gmail + workspaces, Maps, Youtube, GCP, Android, and Search as their own separate entities then undo the DoubleClick merger.

That would be true justice.

> I'm almost at the point where I consider any type of firmware update for anything to be actively hostile and to be avoided if at all possible

I reached that point a number of years ago. I've more recently reached the point where I feel the same about software updates generally, not just firmware ones.

A software update all too often means that the main thing you bought the software for is nerfed or removed.
