POPULARITY
In this episode, we begin by exploring Artificial Intelligence as we know it today, delving into its current applications and potential. Following that, we'll air a couple of classic episodes from The Computer Chronicles, a highly respected PBS show that originally aired from 1983 to 2002. Produced by the College of San Mateo in California and hosted by Stewart Cheifet, the show was pivotal in documenting the growth of the computer industry, offering a unique look into early hardware, software, and technological innovations. These episodes highlight the foundations of modern AI technology.In the third part, we'll feature an episode from Ask NASA, where Beck and Farah and others explain how NASA leverages AI in space exploration and scientific research.In the fourth segment, we'll tune into a podcast from the Internet Society's Online Safety Special Interest Group (SIG), focusing on AI safety and ethics. Following this, we'll listen to a podcast from the Internet Society Online Safety Norway Chapter, featuring Bjorn Remsth, Vice President of Electric Frontier Norway, as he discusses the future of AI regulations. His insights provide a deep dive into the governance challenges and the responsible development of AI technologies.gies.
It's time for another visit with Stewart Cheifet and the Computer Chronicles. This time we're heading back to 1995 for a computer games special that includes Microsoft's ill-fated DirectX event Judgment Day, a very silly Bill Gates promo video, demos of MechWarrior 2 and Phantasmagoria (with Roberta Williams!), a random PlayStation-versus-Saturn head to head from Stewart, and more.SHOW NOTESThe relevant Computer Chronicles episode, season 13 episode 8:https://archive.org/details/CC1308_greatest_gamesBill Gates invades Doom:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2V9TFrmQ_QThe letter from Alex St. John's daughter:https://www.wired.com/2016/04/alex-st-johns-daughter-wrong-women-tech/Support the Pod!

Storage changing software, what makes Unix special, what you need may be “pipeline +Unix commands”, running a bakery on Emacs and PostgreSQL, the ultimate guide to memorable tech talks, light-weight contexts, and more. ##Headlines ###Tracking a storage issue led to software change Early last year we completed a massive migration that moved our customers’ hosting data off of a legacy datacenter (that we called FR-SD2) onto several new datacenters (that we call FR-SD3, FR-SD5, and FR-SD6) with much more modern, up-to-date infrastructure. This migration required several changes in both the software and hardware we use, including switching the operating system on our storage units to FreeBSD. Currently, we use the NFS protocol to provide storage and export the filesystems on Simple Hosting, our web hosting service, and the FreeBSD kernel includes an NFS server for just this purpose. Problem While migrating virtual disks of Simple Hosting instances from FR-SD2, we noticed high CPU load spikes on the new storage units. ###What Makes Unix Special Ever since Unix burst onto the scene within the early '70s, observers within the pc world have been fast to put in writing it off as a unusual working system designed by and for knowledgeable programmers. Regardless of their proclamations, Unix refuses to die. Means again in 1985, Stewart Cheifet puzzled if Unix would turn out to be the usual working system of the longer term on the PBS present “The Laptop Chronicles,” though MS-DOS was effectively in its heyday. In 2018, it is clear that Unix actually is the usual working system, not on desktop PCs, however on smartphones and tablets. What Makes Unix Special? It is also the usual system for net servers. The actual fact is, hundreds of thousands of individuals all over the world have interacted with Linux and Unix programs daily, most of whom have by no means written a line of code of their lives. So what makes Unix so beloved by programmers and different techie sorts? Let’s check out a few of issues this working system has going for it. (For some background on Unix, try The Historical past of Unix: From Bell Labs to the iPhone.) ##News Roundup What you need may be “pipeline +Unix commands” only I came across Taco Bell Programming recently, and think this article is worthy to read for every software engineer. The post mentions a scenario which you may consider to use Hadoop to solve but actually xargs may be a simpler and better choice. This reminds me a similar experience: last year a client wanted me to process a data file which has 5 million records. After some investigations, no novel technologies, a concise awk script (less than 10 lines) worked like a charm! What surprised me more is that awk is just a single-thread program, no nifty concurrency involved. The IT field never lacks “new” technologies: cloud computing, big data, high concurrency, etc. However, the thinkings behind these “fancy” words may date back to the era when Unix arose. Unix command line tools are invaluable treasure. In many cases, picking the right components and using pipeline to glue them can satisfy your requirement perfectly. So spending some time in reviewing Unixcommand line manual instead of chasing state-of-the-art techniques exhaustedly, you may gain more. BTW, if your data set can be disposed by an awk script, it should not be called “big data”. Taco Bell Programming ###Running a bakery on Emacs and PostgreSQL Just over a year ago now, I finally opened the bakery I’d been dreaming of for years. It’s been a big change in my life, from spending all my time sat in front of a computer, to spending most of it making actual stuff. And stuff that makes people happy, at that. It’s been a huge change, but I can’t think of a single job change that’s ever made me as happy as this one. One of the big changes that came with going pro was that suddenly I was having to work out how much stuff I needed to mix to fill the orders I needed. On the face of it, this is really simple, just work out how much dough you need, then work out what quantities to mix to make that much dough. Easy. You can do it with a pencil and paper. Or, in traditional bakers’ fashion, by scrawling with your finger on a floured work bench. And that’s how I coped for a few weeks early on. But I kept making mistakes, which makes for an inconsistent product (bread is very forgiving, you have to work quite hard to make something that isn’t bread, but consistency matters). I needed to automate. ###The Ultimate Guide To Memorable Tech Talks Imagine this. You’re a woman in a male-dominated field. English is not your first language. Even though you’re confident in your engineering work, the thought of public speaking and being recorded for the world to see absolutely terrifies you. That was me, five years ago. Since then, I’ve moved into a successful career in Developer Advocacy and spoken at dozens of technical events in the U.S. and worldwide. I think everyone has the ability to deliver stellar conference talks, which is why I took the time to write this post. The Ultimate Guide 1: Introduction 2: Choosing a Topic 3: Writing a Conference Proposal (or CFP) 4: Tools of the Trade 5: Planning and Time Estimation 6: Writing a Talk 7: Practice and Delivery ###Light-weight Contexts: An OS Abstraction for Safety and Performance (2016) Abstract: “We introduce a new OS abstraction—light-weight con-texts (lwCs)—that provides independent units of protection, privilege, and execution state within a process. A process may include several lwCs, each with possibly different views of memory, file descriptors, and access capabilities. lwCs can be used to efficiently implement roll-back (process can return to a prior recorded state),isolated address spaces (lwCs within the process may have different views of memory, e.g., isolating sensitive data from network-facing components or isolating different user sessions), and privilege separation (in-process reference monitors can arbitrate and control access). lwCs can be implemented efficiently: the overhead of a lwC is proportional to the amount of memory exclusive to the lwC; switching lwCs is quicker than switching kernel threads within the same process. We describe the lwC abstraction and API, and an implementation of lwCs within the FreeBSD 11.0 kernel. Finally, we present an evaluation of common usage patterns, including fast roll-back, session isolation, sensitive data isolation, and in-process reference monitoring, using Apache, nginx, PHP,and OpenSSL.” ##Beastie Bits May 7th - BSD Users Stockholm Meetup #6 sysutils/docker-freebsd: Searching for people to help Cat Tax - Ever wonder what Midnight the cat was like?

Chris Fenwick takes on hosting duties for today’s show since my vocal chords are ripped from being sick this week. Today’s filmmaking panel includes planetMitch of planet5d.com and Ron Dawson of DareDreamMag.com. We start off by taking a leap from the edge of space with “Fearless” Felix Baumgartner and his amazing 128,000 feet supersonic jump – all covered in unprecedented detail. In addition to RED cameras and Canon 5D’s mounted to the cabin, there were 5 GoPro Hero cameras mounted to Felix’s spacesuit for what will no doubt be some of the most amazing POV shots ever. Speaking of GoPro, planetMitch talks about the new 4K GoPro Hero3 cameras announced this morning. We continue the discussion of shooting interviews in this episode. Chris Fenwick talks with his former boss, Stewart Cheifet, long time host and director of the Computer Chronicles show. Cheifet – who has interviewed the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Larry Ellison – shares some of his interviewing tips and techniques. Ron Dawson talks about the interview from the standpoint of being a documentary filmmaker. He talks about one of current projects – Mixed in America – and how the interview turned out to be journey of discovery that took the film into unexpected places and emotions.
