It quite literally makes it a grassroots project. > Arguably, the only somewhat mainstream operating systems today that deserve that label are the *BSDs. I think the word you're looking for is 'sidelined'.

No it's not an issue to me, just pointed out a factual mistake.

That roots part in grassroots means something.

Uh Linux is a grassroots project, quite unlike Berkley Software Distribution. Also no you are entirely unaffected by this unless you use a very specific and uncommon syscall.

So T800 is indeed coded in Javascript, I knew it! What else to expect of devs in 2029

Just like with software, oftentimes you can bisect, sometimes you can't. There are some common approaches to roughing out problematic areas (checking power rails, confirming known oscillations, clocks and regular signals…). When you ha

This is incredibly convoluted scenario for a use case with near zero chance of a MITM attack. Security ops is cancer.

This is a terrible solution. Now you require an Internet connection and a (non-abandoned) third party service to configure a LAN device. Not to mention countless industrial devices where operators would typically have no chance to see QR co

Sure but only a tiny fraction of products in these markets require the performance calling for an FPGA.

There are several Lisp implementations (including fully-fledged operating systems) which are implemented in Lisp top to bottom.

He certainly meant an "SMT line", because phones assembled on a manual station in the USA (outside of shit quality) would cost well in excess of $2000.

There is familiarity aspect for sure but also that living conditions don't change that dramatically over human lifespan. Life two generations ago was different but not so terribly different as to be uncomfortable to a modern human. H

It was not an aesthetic issue alone. People were getting cut and had their shoe soles destroyed fairly routinely.

You read too much into it. Trump is manipulating the market for personal enrichment, in the most mundane manner.

Well that's how LLMs got going: a critical mass of context until it ignited from its own gravitational pull. And yes Cyc ontology wasn't consistent. Lenat's point was that it is impossible to have an ontology consistent. Whic

Productivity since 2000 had only increased by some 30%, which can not account for structural changes in job market.

Lenat in his talks emphasised the infeasibility of building a universal ontology. From what I understand later Cyc modus operandi was a bunch of self consistent micro-theories but not a one huge theory of everything.

In my country public TV is decent with good programming and neutral political tone. When we speak of dominant social networks today however they are runaway adtech cesspools, outright owned by malicious actors, or a combination thereof. Tha

No, just like gas figures don't account for 100% overhead in rectification process.

Taxpayer-funded public television that's already a thing in many European countries could be a decent model. No ads and much better incentive alignment. When you pay for it you are the customer not the goods.

Bit dizzy from the praise of Node.js and complaints about cache invalidation in one rant.

Right. I'm all for making freshmen learn it early but this is just hazing.

I suspect "Education, Instruction and Library" bar on the graph mostly amounts to cheating and more broadly defeating the point of unsupervised study. But it's nice we have a metric for that now.

I grew up in Soviet Union and have a pretty solid idea what you could and what you could not say, but thanks for trivia. A life anecdote: in mid 1980s my classmate shot the Lenin portrait in the classroom through a straw. His parents were c

You would not have been killed in Khrustchev times for expressing a dissatisfaction with the space programme, even though it certainly deviated from the party line. Perhaps it's worth considering that what people find inspiring does no

When USSR launched the world's first satellite into space, the enthusiasm was universal. Even among its peasants who at the time were paperless indentured servants.
