cachvico··on My Hardest Bug Ever (2013)
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... JVMs leaking memory on Ericsson and Motorola dumbphones... I watched devs work without debuggers or console. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... time to retire.
cachvico··on Facebook Announces Meta Verified
But now (with Twitter) I can't trust anything I read without double-checking carefully it is not a fake account (and even then I cannot be sure). At least beforehand I was able to trust that Twitter has done the basic KYC.

The Meta implementation therefore seems smarter (depends on gov ID).

cachvico··on AI will replace middle management before robots replace hourly workers
> If predicting and planning outcomes and with previous data is not some form of AI, what is?

Algorithmic forecasting.

If you squint really hard, the entirety of computer science falls under "AI". But practically speaking, today AI refers to ML.

It's quite possible a savvy programmer integrated the weather forecast to the ERP, with specific products tagged as relevant to a sunny (or wet) outlook. That's not AI, that's just an algo.

It's also possible there was ML at play, but that's not clear, and not necessarily the case.

cachvico··on Why doesn't Stripe use Stripe Billing?
This is a good question. Does Google use Meet? Are they still subject to the frankly ridiculous max resolution of 720p?
cachvico··on JetBrains Ring UI
I think it's more likely this grew from a single developer who knew what he's doing, to a small team, organically over time as they expanded.

The competitive advantage is that it's bespoke and designed exactly for their own needs. It also provides a look+feel that is distinct from the typical Material UI fork, which could be considered a savvy move.

cachvico··on The First RISC: John Cocke and the IBM 801
> Moreover, in March 1982 there has been a very important symposium where all the teams working at that time on RISC CPUs have presented their work, including the Berkeley RISC, Stanford MIPS and IBM 801 projects.

> The presentations from that symposium have determined the designers of the future ARM CPU to change their architecture from some kind of 6502 extension to a RISC architecture.

That is absolutely fascinating. Are the papers from that conference available online?

cachvico··on Fark.com's live thread during the Sept. 11 attacks
Bear in mind that all news channels were broadcasting constantly at least - would still be pretty rare at the time to find a household without a single TV.

cachvico··on Meta’s metaverse hype leads to real-world backlash
Yes, he has the company lines well rehearsed. But he was also admits he's a mortal human who didn't choose to be the moderator between the geo-political battle lines that have manifested themselves through today's social media. And he probably understands the nuances of that unique responsibility better than any of us here.
