Arm chips will most likely replace Intel even for servers. I think we may se massive core count with lower clocked frequency chips as die shrink will be come too expensive.

yah but that's not what you said.

damn, I think Tesla is an incredibly dysfunctional company and has a lot of problems, but you're literally making things up. admit you were wrong and you're initial statement was completely inaccurate and move on.
I think what it boils down to is that startup ecosystems outside of SF now have the upper edge when it comes to hiring relative to Bay Area startups because you aren't competing against large tech giants who can outpay what you can afford to pay by 2-3x. Sure, you are competing against satellite offices of FB/Google/etc but it's on a much smaller scale. The opportunity cost for an engineer to take a gamble on a small startup is therefore smaller, so companies can attract relatively better talent in these markets.
Yes, a friend of mine, a doctor at our local hospital, has shared his pessimism about the hospital's pricing and profit stance with me. In his mind they capitalize on our rural economy and only an idiot would get treated locally rather than drive to the bay area where the pricing is much more reasonable (!).

Even worse (in my mind), the hospital bears the name of a major religion. As if God needed this kind of PR...
I have gigabit fiber internet (up and down) in LA for $80/m from AT&T. It's incredible, and I can't believe they offer it. I can't imagine that would be the case today if Google Fiber never existed.
I love the Brooklyn Boulders Queensbridge co-working space in Long Island City. Really just some tables and chairs but in the middle of rock climbing walls.
I can’t recommend the book Overcharged enough if you really want to understand what is wrong with American healthcare. The answer is basically everything, but the fee-per-service billing model and third-party billing that obfuscates prices are the essential causes.

When you take on a project that requires leverage of 100:1 over your current annual profit, I'd argue you are a startup again. That commitment will easily swallow the company.

Note: I'm generously estimating their profit at around $1M year. ~$100M was the cost to bring up the Essential phone.
I'm not sure how many, but Dell has at least three in the PowerEdge line and they've been announced and available for a while. One of them is a 1U single-socket system with 32 cores, 64 threads, and up to 2TB of RAM.

The difference is closer than you'd imagine.

Intel's XCC die is 694mm^2 for a 28-core, while Zen / Zeppelin is 213mm^2 for an 8-core. Intel's XCC 28 core is around 25mm^2 per core, while AMD's Zen is 26.6mm^2 per core... suggesting a slight advantage to Intel!

Furthermore: Intel's XCC die has 28-cores. When defects come into XCC, Intel can simply disable those cores and sell them for cheaper. For example, Intel's Xeon Platinum 8160 is a 24-core. Presumably, 4-cores are defective but Intel can still sell it for $5000 or so.

So a defective product would require a manufacturing defect somewhere critical. But individual cores can most certainly be disabled during the manufacturing process and sold as a lower tier product, like the Xeon Platinum 8160

As such, Intel definitely has good yields, at least on 14nm production.

------------

The main advantage is that AMD's strategy works way better when yields are poor due to a new process being not fully understood. But as defect rates drop, Intel's monolithic strategy seems to have slight advantages over AMD's. (Remember: Intel's cores are slightly superior in IPC, have slightly faster caches, and AVX512 enabled).

AMD's strategy is definitely good, but I don't think Intel is really that far behind.
If you think about it, the entire US pharma industry paradigm doesn’t really make sense. A lot of exploratory research into drugs is publicly funded, but for some reason we then rely on private companies to pass FDA trials and bring the drug to market, at the cost of profits/subsidies/advertising/executive compensation/rent seeking IP.

Why not publicly fund R&D all the way up to when a drug passes FDA trials, then allow any private company to produce a generic version of the drug? That way you have competition on the price of manufacturing without all the unnecessary costs involved with private IP
When Paltrow was referenced in the article I was thinking, this is one of those touches that in fiction would stand out as too contrived or on the nose.

I wonder if there will be a day when WeWork "consciously unincorporates."

It's beyond antisocial. Being forced to smell and see food, and watch people eat can be disgusting. Some food is obviously worse than others. Deliberately inflicting it on an entire office is not-so-subtly telling everyone else that their eating at their desk, rather than use any provided kitchen or dining facilities, is more important to them than their consideration of every other person in the place.

It might be "normal" in some places, but those are places I would find detestable. It only takes one person to make the rest of an open plan office feel nauseous.

If a person can't find 30 or even 15 minutes to leave their desk to eat their lunch, then there's something seriously wrong with their work culture. It's not like they are going to be actually "working" while stuffing food into their faces. They should take the time to switch off for a few minutes for their own physical and mental health, and the consideration of others.

Yes, and I've been "laid off" before after having compensation discussions with management. The employer dodges a lot of liability they would have if they fired me after asking for a pay raise. But for me the end result was I still lost my job.

I like the 12-24 month waiting period as it would help reduce lay off abuse.
Wow, I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up. I even keep up with security stuff. I don't ES File Explorer any more because I don't really do specific file management on my phone. That's disturbing.
Dell's had some PowerEdge models available for a while now.
Not just about, but caused by!
Indeed, but the resource issues are very different.

Very basics are still in play, and secure for periods of time. Plans can be made, changed. And the set of options is broader.

Homelessness, coupled with, or rooted in poverty is a much more difficult thing than hopping from hotel to airbnb, etc... is.

Not that I want to marginalize or judge this excellent thread, or anyone sharing.

Not my intent.

Just some clarity to improve relevancy.

Get a job: don’t tell or show recruiter how desperate you are. Don’t tell recruiter you’re homeless. Work on portfolio of projects. GitHub.

Shelter: Get a van. Live in it. Boondocking is better than the cardboard box or couch surfing.

Food: Noodles. Vegetables. Rice. Chicken.

Tech: android tablets can run Linux and can support mouse and keyboard. Tablets are easier than laptops to charge. Laptops can do more. Trade offs.

Security: get some money into bank account ASAP. Make it a regular habit. Any money you’d put into alcohol etc put it into bank account. This is your safety net. Start from zero.

Street address: get a mailing address. Parents/friends may be able to help. You only need to visit. post office box can help as well but costs money.

Relationships: be careful. Your safety net is likely not strong enough to tolerate much failure. Counter argument: having someone else around can help in little ways.

Decisions: think critically. Need versus Want.

Mental health: read autobiographies. Read fiction. Read. Improve all gaps that seem easy to fix. Understand that homelessness is a hole you can dig yourself out of.

Health: teeth, hair etc hygiene is king. Drop any kind of drug other than coffee. Alcohol etc will make you an easy target.

Small steps.
It's not purely about the production volume - remember, the Model 3 was billed as a $35,000 car and a lot of the M3's projected demand is predicated on that range of price. Wall Street analysts have been vocally skeptical that Tesla can produce cars profitably at that price point. Tesla needs to simultaneously dramatically slash costs and dramatically increase volume, while also presumably retooling their production lines on the fly to address the quality issues that have been in the headlines lately.

It depends on very random factors and events, like with (almost) any other programming language.

How could anybody rate a probability of some experimental language from Sun research lab - the tiny, fast, garbage-collected, object-oriented language for embedded systems to become mainstream - before the language was renamed from Oak to Java?
Terminal state is far more than just text on the screen. For example, an escape code could change the color. After that, there could be megabytes of output created over many hours. Loading a snapshot should not require replaying all that data.

The point of a library is that the two are more than just bundled together. They are linked together, making one executable. The terminal window is a part of the emulator.
This would would only have helped me to get past the initial resume screening stage; but the face-to-face interviews are more important. I had to do a lot of face-to-face interviews in order to actually get a job so doing it all remotely while pretending to be a local would probably not have worked out. I did manage to line up a few interviews the week before moving to London; I was generally up front about my situation with recruiters (except for the running out of cash part).

Also, the prospect of ending up homeless in Russia without speaking the language was much more terrifying than being homeless in London; at least I would know how to beg in English lol. So I had a strong incentive to move even though I knew that my situation would become a race against time.

Yeah. My comment was not meant to be a smug "hah, country folk" comment, but rather a reflection on how poor urban planning hurts so many people. I legitimately believe that it's impossible to work for certain companies in Iowa if you don't own a car. And you can tell from the story how hurtful that is to individuals and those companies.
And what would that different method be?
I can't say anything about Intel and 14nm, but there is a big shortage of all electronic components since 18 months ago.

Microcontrollers are all backlogged, chip capacitors are also backlogged. PCB Fabs are backlogged, assembly houses at least in the US are at capacity.

What I suspect is demand for electronic 'things' by poor people in China, India, and Africa are outstripping supply chains across the board.

They might not have the ability to ignore things quite as well as a human can, but the same concept applies. Many dogs will ignore their own pain to help another in need. Not indulging in pain takes a discipline of mind that most animals are incapable of in most situations.
Yep, I verified that bug as well, apparently they never planned for "www" being somewhere other than at the front of the domain name. Sounds like they already know, woot!
This may sound a bit harsh, but dude you need to lower your standards. In the coding and startup world we created a cult like impossible dream to fulfill.

I have a startup that went through some very low lows. I had just quit my cushy job and had saved enough money to last for 2 years, but not my co-founders. When we ran through our funding, things became harsh. I funded everything out of my pocket.

The CTO couldn't afford his apartment anymore so I paid for his rent. Not long after, I got a family emergency and couldn't afford it anything anymore. I told him to get a part time job to help out. He squarely told me no. "Every successful startup founder lived in a van and dined on Ramen."

I stopped paying his rent. He moved into the office. I urged him to get a job because I couldn't afford it anymore. He refused. I stopped paying the office rent. He went homeless.

He lived on the generosity of strangers, though he went days without eating. He refused to get a job. As long as someone was helping him, he wouldn't work. We had to trick him to help him, a friend gave him some space to live together, then later told him that he needs to participate on paying rent. Only then he started looking for work.

There are a lot of conflicts the OP only mentioned in passing and didn't go into details. There is a lot more to this story, maybe the mental health issue nullify anything I say here. But thinking your story is like that of every unicorn tech founder can lead you to make terrible decisions.

Sometimes you have to be humble and make sacrifices to be able to move forward.

Not always. Our startup's rented suite in DTLA did not have janitorial services provided for (only common building areas) and no security guard. Access cards? It was a metal key.
I have never heard Apple praised for rapid pace of change in their software but there's a first for everything! In fact IMHO they lack behind everyone else and live by taking what others do, brush it up a tad and sell it as the best new amazing feature ever made.
Yes.

One root motivation is just wanting to be lean. Needing to generate X per month can be something people do not want to do. Or cannot do.

If high expectations are not set, what remains can be met.

Meeting low expectations is definitely a choice.

it might be more accurate to describe suffering as an optional subconscious process. You suffer by default, but you can choose to not suffer with the right amount of mindfulness. As for the cat, again, the cat might not have the mental fortitude to set aside the suffering.
Honestly, Tesla sounds crazy to me.

I have a buddy who's worked at the factory in Fremont on one of the assembly lines. They sound very overworked. Despite getting "overtime" pay, they're basically required to work many days a week, and sometimes crazy shifts, like 10 hours, plus a day on the weekend. Definitely over 40 hours a week.
I did not, only read through the Medium article/blog. As you alluded to, high school provides more than just standard book education. Those 4 years you learn how to deal with people, relationships, politics of an organization, how problems affecting more than a few people are solved/planned, how to deal with rejection etc... These are skills he now needs to learn in the real world that carry greater risks outside of learning them in high school.
I hear you. I imagine people have many different reasons for self-identifying as YIMBYs.

In the context of the article, the theory of agglomeration effects cited by the author posits that increasing a city's density makes a city more attractive, and thus exerts an upward pressure on property values.

> This supply-demand model ignores something important: the value of living in a particular place is greatly determined by how many people live around it. As the number of people living in a place increases, so does the value of being there. This is often labeled the "agglomeration effect".

I'm not familiar with the empirical evidence for the agglomeration effect, but if it's real, it indicates that aside from whatever specific arguments one can make for or against dense cities, the market values density. The author suggests some plausible reasons why the market might value density, but really it's kind of besides the point why density is valued by the market (which represents the demonstrated preferences of you and I and every other economic actor). If the market values density, and there are perverse incentives which prevent cities from increasing density (the interests of existing property owners), it behooves us to intervene at the national level.

One can make a number of other orthogonal arguments for increasing density: smaller environmental footprint, increased diversity and social mobility in communities, equality of opportunity and access, and your argument for a "right of return," to name a few.
I don't know if you can have a successful startup ecosystem without anchor BigCo companies that bring people to the area and eventually when these people leave they become VCs/founders/CTOs etc.
These things are definitely real. But while building a brand that elicits cult-like behavior from its followers is undoubtedly a huge marketing success, of which all other marketers should be justifiably envious, is it "changing the world"? The would has seen such efforts - both successful and not - since the first state and the first religion has been founded.

> It's hard-coded into every evolved creature so that the creature then goes on to do things to avoid said suffering.

I like the theory that many emotions, especially negative ones, exist to spur us to some type of action.

Anger means we need a way to resolve a conflict. Fear means we need to take steps to protect ourselves. Regret means we need some introspection to discover how we should do things differently in the future. Revulsion means we need to avoid something. (This applies in less abstract, more visceral ways too. Hunger means we need to eat. Physical pain means we are reaching our physical limits.)

Anyway, a lot of suffering comes about because we don't take any action. When the situation continues to exist, the negative emotion continues to exist.

This isn't to say we should just all act rashly to get rid of our negative feelings. Obviously the right action is important. But sometimes just getting started is enough to help feel better. And if you've already done what you could or should have, sometimes it helps to realize that or remind yourself of it.
But then my room would be too hot.
Yeah definitely a bug.

I've worked on systems that allocated and freed hundreds of GB every 10 minutes, written in Go with no such issues.
That was one of the most interesting cities I've visited. The city was a mix of medieval architecture and pieces of a Roman palace. There were the brick walls of buildings built between Roman columns and there was a Roman-era mausoleum on one side of the street. It was clear that it used to be quite an open layout that was filled in by buildings in later centuries.

It must have been interesting in the early days of the city with a bunch of people occupying an old palace, fortifying it, and building houses for themselves within the grounds.

I wondered what Diocletian would have thought to see his old palace transformed in such a way.

Appreciate that! :D
I think the article raises an important point. I'm skeptical that increasing the supply of housing in San Francisco will lower prices. I do think that San Francisco suppresses a lot of potential business activity through restrictive housing practices. Some of this business can move elsewhere, but there's a chance that some of it just doesn't happen. More housing might just stimulate the local economy (the agglomeration effect mentioned in this blog post).

We certainly know that higher density doesn't necessarily produce lower prices - San Francisco recently passed Manhattan to become the most expensive housing market per housing unit, but Manhattan remains more expensive per square foot.

And even if it does, existing San Francisco house owners might still benefit. The structure isn't all that valuable compared to the land, at this point. So even if greater density causes housing prices per unit drop, and even if it causes prices per square foot of living space to drop (due to multiple unit apartment buildings but where a single or two story house used to exist), the value per square foot of land could increase astronomically.

And that's if per unit or per square foot prices drop. It could be that these prices would rise, which would only increase the value of land even more.

This is why I don't buy into the notion that San Franciscans are anti-development because of a desire to maximize the dollar value of their house. It could be that they haven't thought it through like this, or it could be that the have and they disagree... but I think a lot of San Franciscans are driven by a motivation to keep things from changing. They like it this way, and they don't really want it to change. They got in a while ago, they can afford it, their property taxes are low due to prop 13, and their house value has gone up to the point where they don't really need it to go up much more.

They just aren't motivated to seek more density, but it isn't necessarily because they want to maximize the value of their real estate asset (the land their house sits on). It could actually be indifference to the price of their house that motivates them to block new development.
