Anyone who has worked at a large company knows that a company with almost 100k employees could not possibly have a single unified "culture." At that size, the "culture" you feel on a day-to-day basis is mostly a function of your manager, the specific team you are on, the office you're in, the floor you're on, etc., than the company you work for.

I hate those things: like everything Dyson makes they're noisy, ugly, overpriced, underperforming crap. I must admit to being slighly joyous at finding they're also something of a health hazard: sort of the icing on the cake of a terrible product.

If you can believe it, the Dyson Airblade V is even worse: it dries your hands by the clever trick of blasting the water from them and spraying it liberally over your trousers along with the wall and floor beneath the dryer whilst making enough noise to wake the dead. Total junk.

EDIT: And don't even get me started on the stupid Airblade tap/hand dryer hybrid. What a travesty of innovation. Got large hands? Prepare to confuse the thing as it can't decide whether to douse you in water or blow a hoolie. Talk about a solution begging a problem.
This is what I'm actually interested in.
Here's my hot take: genes that cause a given nervous system to be better than typical at making decisions that lead to better outcomes for the organism will cause the organism to be better than typical at cell and DNA repair.
Neat. And you could even improve this both in terms of loading speed and filesize by using the XML `textContent` property rather than building completely new nodes.

Because unearned income is a lot harder to make.

At a 6% return, you need around $800k+ to get the equivalent of a $50k salary before taxes from the interest earned on your savings. When you factor in having to reinvest some of your returns to beat inflation and make up for some years of low or negative returns, you might only draw maybe $20-25k out of that $800k portfolio. Then you get taxed on it at 20% capital gains along with any state taxes, and it all adds up to a lot less money to live off of.

Most people who want higher capital gains do not have a portfolio of this size nor have they explored the reality of living off a portfolio of this size. Work to the grave I guess.
Sure. I am Jovan Williams from : http://www.monad.ai.
I know its true because I am sitting in front of working aspects that I have been researching and developing full time for approximately 4 years. Some years ago, I was operating a full stack on a 4-core Intel processor. While resources were pegged, it only contributed to increased latency which is why I created my own simulation layer to continue my proofing work. I utilized various software to create a simulated virtual environment w/ time scaling and continued w/ my work.

I charted out some ways hardware had to evolve over the years. So far its beating my estimates. I conducted a simple upgrade to my hardware a year ago and saw various latency figures cut in half which is exactly what I estimated. The industry continues to push hardware towards capabilities that will only increase performance.

So yes.. Currently, I can run my stack in real-time on an 8-core consumer grade computer. I have already proofed it beating human response times in various tests by 100%. This is before any specific optimizations. Structure matters [Software] and I have other unspecified hardware in the loop. I intended on applying to Ycombinator in march, but will extend this out a bit. I'll be going more public with proofed functionality and capability. Just making my rounds in various communities/mediums as I have been doing for some time to correct the record and get a gauge of people's sentiments.
It's as simple as society gives his money value, and American society is getting anxious and resentful.

As an abstraction, I like to think of money as crystalized human effort. Society makes decisions by the power of individual behavior in aggregate.

A bunch of people buy a ~new thing~. Over time and at scale, society creates a river of money towards the ~new thing~. Its depth and breadth calibrated to reward other people for working towards bringing that ~new thing~ to society. Entrepreneurs gather marketing, sales and laborers to build a village by the river. This is society's intuitive understanding of business.

Society's intuitive understanding of competition between villages is that it occurs as an innovation arms race. Lower prices, better products are the result.

The experienced village builder learns that the best way to win is to divert the river into a cave and build a moat around the entrance.

Patent portfolios, information asynchrony, non compete employee contracts, vendor lock-in, yearly subscriptions, Byzantine government regulations and a hundred other things deepen your moat.

These kinds of moats improve your margin -- but in a different way than what society is used to. It isn't resulting in better products at lower prices, it's making competition more difficult.

Other experienced builders try to take a tiny drop from every river, for every transaction. They're starting to build their villages vertically and profit from the organically grown river network. Exploiting insider knowledge on the foreign exchange market, transaction fees, whatever.

These kinds of businesses intercept money that would normally return to society when the people in the villages go home.

The village builders have begun consolidating and moving upstream, getting closer to society. Society has BENEFITED. Their desires are now easier and faster to fulfill than ever before!

And yet.. society (remember, people in aggregate) is starting to get weary. Most people are restless and anxious, despite full employment, stock market blowing up, etc. Your average person can feel the reservoir getting lower, while other people are filling lakes.

"U.S. consumer spending rises; savings drop to 10-year low".

Money is power. Your average run of the mill person is slowly shifting from a belief in the Virtuousness of the American System, Land of Opportunity to one of Powerlessness within inevitability of whatever that system hands you.

Ultimate power is derived from a mandate from a masses, and most people on some level know that! They just feel like they're strapped in to a slow motion train wreck, and they're afraid of how it's all going to end.

Just my opinion on why people might have the audacity to discuss and critique how some billionaires spend their money.
Normally this isn’t a problem. If the SVG is included with an <img> Tag the JS won’t execute. If you directly embed the SVG tags into the HTML it will. But surely no one does this with SVGs they receive from untrustworthy 3rd parties right?

Except a web performance best practice (for non-H2 sites) is to inline images into the HTML... and there are some auto-optimizing libraries that will embed SVG as <SVG> tags instead of as a data: URI...

If you distrust Intel to even separate the CSPRNG from architectural registers, you should probably assume that they've compromised even pure-software CSPRNGs running on their chips as well.
I think you are over-thinking things.

I also have analog switches and dimmers in my house. If I have the lights at the lowest setting when the power goes out, that's where they are when the power returns. If everything was on full when the power goes out, then that's where things will be when the power returns.

Why should smart things work differently than what a lifetime of experience has lead me to expect?
Curious if you have any advice for engineer->Dev manager?
the best way to do it would be with emscripten. You just need to make sure it only uses at most GLES3 gl calls, and also replace the sound/input/controllers apis with emscripten/web ones.
I think there is a slight correlation between having some expertise in the team that you're managing and your overall performance as the manager. Some points along this argument include empathy for engineers' work, and I totally agree with you.

However, and especially at scale, there is a humanistic factor in management that having technical background alone can't fix. How do you manage deadlines? How do you deal with engineers who over-engineer a feature and go down that deep technical rabbit hole, with no "done date" in sight? How do you deal with people having to take a sabbatical but having an important project deadline around the corner? Heck, I'd argue engineers like myself are pretty bad at this and still constantly learning. Don't forget that expectation vs reality distortion is real. Great managers are essentially brokers to keep expectation and reality in check.
A part of constant-time coding is to avoid branches based on secret data, thus branch-free programming techniques apply. However, there is more to it; for instance, you must also avoid any memory access whose address depends on secret data (otherwise, the secret could leak through observation of the cache status).

On the other hand, branches that do not depend on secret data are OK in constant-time code. Typically, when you process a chunk of data, the chunk length is not secret, and there will be a loop whose exit condition really is a conditional jump that depends on the length.

I moved from a cheap Toyota Yaris to an expensive Subaru Legacy.

Not only do I have a touchscreen radio, but the climate control section is a large array of buttons, with the exception changing the temperature with a knob.

Every single fucking action I need to perform in that area requires that I take my eyes off the road. Want the heat on my feet instead of my face or the windshield? Then I need to press up/down and iterate through the air directions. Need to increase/decrease the air speed? Find the left/right arrows and press them. Oops, I pressed the Defrost button which turns on the windshield vents full blast! Oops, I pressed the "Auto" button which does... something. No fucking clue what that button does.

As shitty as my old Yaris was, I had a knob for air position, another knob for speed, and a button right in the middle of the knob for rear defrost. The knobs were huge and clunked into place. After a week in the car I knew exactly what to do without ever looking down, and I miss it dearly.

And my touchscreen radio takes like 10 seconds to boot and it warns me never to look at it while I'm on the road or some bullshit. If I need to change stations I need to look down and find the touchscreen buttons. I'm all mad thinking about it now, wish I could return the car just for this shit.

I see your point, but it seems to rest on the rest on the way we determine when capital gains are realized. Capital gains accumulate regularly just like other sources of income; in my mind the tax obligation is incurred at the time of the gain, just like the tax obligation on other income.

For practical reasons the state does not demand the tax until the accumulated gains have been realized by selling the asset. This makes sense for illiquid assets like stock in your private startup, but I don't think it should change the calculation of when the tax was incurred and how much. For liquid assets like shares in public companies, I think it would actually be perfectly reasonable to demand the tax on unrealized gains.
The performance of the economy has nothing to do with investment returns. Paradoxically, the correlation between economic growth and stock market returns is actually negative[1][2][3]. Investors can do well in stagnating economies. Also, the anti-corruption campaign[4] happening in China right now is probably the farthest reaching since its imperial days.

I'm not sure they're efforting to sell themselves as open, it more feels like people are putting them on a pedestal because of Bill Gates' financial success and notability, and giving them unchecked admiration - however they will have a unique world perspective and that's important to hear so we can contrast it with where we're at in our own understanding.
I'll second that. The worst I've seen have always been engineers or developers who felt that seniority, in terms of years on the job, entitled them to a management role regardless of any ability or training for it. They inevitably engender a tremendous amount of friction and resentment in their peers and subordinates.

As for younger developers, I manage several right now. Showing them that a management role isn't about "bossing people around for the sake of it," but more about handling different areas of responsibility needed for projects to succeed - some technical, some not - really works.
My several year stint with high tech finance (HFT and asset management) illustrated just how much of a "boys' game" it was. I was never aware of physical aggression, but there was absolutely a hedonistic power-driven male culture.

Also, as an American, I was shocked at what was apparently "allowed" in Dutch culture. They don't suffer from the severity (and frequency?) of lawsuits as in the US, so there are few things you cannot say out loud to or in front of colleagues. Or at least that was my experience.

OTOH, I know that more than one of the women who made up a very small minority at the company appeared to trade their charms for benefits. Not saying this is good or right, but it did seem there was an exchange of sorts.
Alternatively, stop using antivirus. The amount of stuff that gets flagged as false positives is incredible once you go outside of the applications written by big corporations and the like. It's almost as if they use a whitelist...

Also, seeing that some AV will alert on even the presence of an empty folder that happens to share the same name as actual malware[1] or a completely innocuous Hello World[2][3], it's hard to recommend any. That and the detection of cracks and keygens (which goes beyond "antimalware", IMHO) further strengthens my opposition against what is essentially censorware.

I am still holding my breath for the tools to mature to the point that people can run their own data centers again with less overhead. My lips are getting a little blue but I see some hopeful signs.

For number 2 especially, there have been some cool projects for efficiency gains when different parts of the organization experience different traffic spikes. Like Netflix, where transcoding spikes precede viewing spikes, and they pulled off a load balancing coup to reduce peak instances.

I think the right thing for a tech company to do is to run their own data center in at least one town where they operate, and use cloud services for geographic distribution and load shedding.

The temptation to reduce your truck numbers below long term sustainable rates is too great, and so is lock-in. The best hunt I think you can do for the long term health of your companies these days is to hold cloud infrastructure at arm’s length. Participate, but strongly encourage choosing technologies that could be run in your own server rooms of another cloud provider. Like Kafka, Kube, and readily available database solutions. Make them avoid the siren song of the proprietary solutions. We have already forgotten the vendor lock-in lessons of the 90’s.
I don’t think CPI needs to be used to mitigate the problem of taxing inflation on assets. It would just increase the politicization of CPI, which is already not realistic.

The market can easily adjust prices for assets to factor in the cost of inflation and taxes.
I’m talking about proofs that the stuff works, i.e. that the algorithms or code are cryptographically strong. As far as I know, only the one-time pad has such a proof.

Your replies are probably valid for your system. I specifically noted above that what I describe is about an AGI that some other groups may develop to be a more free, less controlled system that allows it to improve faster and execute more efficiently.

If an AGI can indeed learn and act at the human level or above, there are reasons to believe that a more free variety will improve faster and become more powerful than a less free one. That is a big incentive for its creators to let go of some control. The question is how much control they would retain and whether that would be sufficient.
That was enlightening and entertaining, thanks.

Lua only has 5 types: boolean, float, int, string and table, so that helped offset the fact that basically only one person (Mike Pall) worked on LuaJIT.

Remember that time the US went to war with Russia over the invasion of Ukraine?

An invasion of Taiwan would likely garner a similar response. Heightened tensions, international sanctions that don’t seem to do much, and yes, increased military presence in nearby allies. Outright war would be costly and endless and frankly unwinnable.

False? The subjects have lived >75% of their lives with national health. And the older you are the more you use health services.

The concept of "Party" works in very different ways in China as it does in western world.

When people in western governments started to form conflicting opinions, they'd say, let's create different parties and compete with each other.

When people in Chinese government started to form conflicting opinions, they'd say, let's keep the conflicts internal and unite under the same party.
That's what happens when you try to design a unifying interface for everything.
