Because social is/was such a fundamental aspect of the human experience. As proven by facebook’s continued explosive growth in the years since Google tried to compete. Not to mention FB’s ability to affect markets, attitudes, and politics at global scale.

It would have been better if they had competitors to keep them honest.
For me, it’s an interesting thought. Would your audience understand what it means? Are you trying to position GitLab into something more than what it is today.

It would also be equally interesting to test what the term would mean to different people.

For me, I still find it difficult to wrap my head around the original concept of what an OS is. And Development Operating System would mean an OS that is in development. At least based on first impressions.

I am likely to try something similar with saying “DevOps for ML” or “CI for ML”. Will see how that goes.
An unoptimized research kernel using GC (instead of ref-counting or Rust-style lifetimes) manages to get within 5-15% of a traditional kernel for the things they measured. That is impressive.

Lots of asterisks and caveats apply I'm sure, but it bolsters the argument that writing kernels and device drivers in a high-level safe language wouldn't impose the 2x or worse perf penalty detractors like to claim. I know I'd trade 10% perf for the elimination of whole classes of security vulnerabilities.

(For the same reason, I want the standards committee to produce a bounds-checked dialect of C where I can choose to pay some perf cost to get real dynamic and bounds-checked arrays)
This does make me sad as I am one of the few that still uses G+ fairly regularly. There are still a lot of quality feeds and I've enjoyed seeing that content without all the crap Facebook wraps its content in.
That was about the absolute most you could possibly pay for one (assuming you ordered the 19" wheels AND paid for autopilot AND paid to pre-order FSD) until they started shipping the Dual Motor and Performance models, what, 1 month ago?

When 60k was the max, it couldn't have been the average, and now that there's been a sudden backlog of AWD/Performance demand being satisfied, the numbers are being skewed up similarly.

There's no way 60k can possibly be the average of all sold 3s.

And, regardless, in the context of parent's post "if only it was $35k instead of $60k", the correct way to phrase it would have been "if only it was $35k instead of $50k".

Yes. But still a non player in the much more important consumer market. Arguably Google still has a stake in consumer glasses via their massive investment in Magic Leap. But whether that has any chance of succeeding is a whole other story.
Get working on your startups/side projects now, since your university/looking for first job years are those where you've got the most free time. There's a reason so many founders and online creators are uni students; they've got way too much free time, access to a bunch of other bored people in the same situation and none the paycheck related stress associated with a full time job.

Also, learn more about programming. It's not as hard as you may think it is, and the more you know about it, the more possibilities open up for interesting side projects and jobs in the future. God, the amount of things I'd probably have built by now had I really got into programming back in my 20s (or teens).

Then again, you know what? If I was gonna give any advice to my 20 year old self (assuming the course of history didn't change too much), I'd probably be more practical and say:

Get making videos and posting them on YouTube/livestreaming sites, since that's where the money and fame will be in a few years time. People don't care about text as much as they used to.

As well as provide them a nice list of companies to buy stock in for the future.
Which is why getting an equally-skilled workforce in the same timezone at a fraction of the cost would be a huge selling point, would it not?

Add to that less friction around growing this workforce by bringing in new talent from abroad and it seems like a slam dunk.
By Google's own admission, there is no way for them to know if the issue was abused because they only keep two weeks of log data. If there was a way for them to have found that "no harm was done", they would be emphatically making that point, not the opposite.

I really wish there were more case studies available out there to show whether the "always remote" startup approach can work.

Having to be in the same room for many years at the very beginning of building a high-growth venture-backed startup is considered a law of the universe at this point, and it would be interesting to know how much not following it actually hurts you.

There is only one problem with socialism. There is no check and balance on the amount of appropriation, which cannot be voluntary. Unchecked power eventually leads to oppression. Systems which you can't opt out of often lead to evil. (This may apply to Capitalism, but there it's somewhat ameliorated by creative destruction.)

So, I run a bunch of websites on a platform provided for free provided by that Evil Overlord Google and I make a few bucks that way, which matters to me because I remain desperately poor, and I also disseminate useful info for free that way to needy people, such as homeless people.

if 2 f-16s actually flew 500 ft over your house there was almost certainly a temporary flight restriction over the area, which is very easy to look up. it's also already illegal to fly anything anywhere near a large stadium during a game.

the thing that frustrates me about this debate is that section 336 already had a pretty strict (and mostly reasonable, imo) set of rules for flying drones with severe penalties attached (up to $250k fine and possible jail time). idk why an informed person would call for stricter rules instead of just having the FAA enforce the ones that were already on the books.
Wow. I was not expecting this. Ha, thanks!
A company in my country got fined recently for not protecting data of ~735k users (7% of the country's population) (leaked email, password, phone, full name ...) they failed to disclose properly to the regulator and the users. They got ~$60,000 fine. GDPR was part of the reasoning for the fine.
For use cases where a high degree of concurrency is required, it’s simply the only option.

I understand that if I'm narrowing eBPF to just DTrace vs bpftrace comparisons, you might question why we're doing all this, but consider the bigger picture of eBPF.

I was half hoping that Intel would differentiate themselves from AMD by increasing frequency instead of playing the number-of-cores game against AMD.. Or is further push in frequency meaningless?
Pretty much everyone working in the high-performance computing space has to think about this. If you produce something truly useful, it may find its way into use in those kinds of HPC workloads. At the same time, much of our "civilian" use of HPC is being subsidized by those kinds of national security workloads which fund a lot of research and infrastructure.

You might also think about it positively. At least they are blowing up nukes in simulations instead of out in the desert somewhere upwind of a lot of people... speaking of upwind, there is also significant oil and gas funding behind a lot of geophysical science.

Addendum: as I recall, the Globus project was often funded by a mixture of NSF and DoE grants and a large part of its core group was based out of a midwestern national lab.

I saw a joke on Reddit recently: "Google+ data breach. Up to 50 accounts compromised"
Exactly. My point is that going after small niches until one works would have been a better strategy to come up with a viable Facebook competitor. This could probably only happen with a “startup within big company” model where they had the freedom to test out a bunch of crazy stuff for a long time without pressure from management.
First, pretty sure the concept of "burnout" is a subjective attribution to a very physical, prolonged, exposure to overworking... so its really tough to say who has or hasn't been burned out.

Second, while I appreciate that you are going through hardship, I don't think thats fair to discount a 16 month stint working an average of 74 hours a week. Including a 45 day in a row, and 31 day in a row period. I burned myself to a crisp for a very real goal, and am happy I hit that goal. Of course, The months following were a disaster, and I don't think I actually snapped out of it till 1-2 years later. But I did snap out of it. (Note: I wasn't working in software either...)

Third, you can get through it. Burnout is physical AND mental... the problem is that people think that its primarily mental. If you are able to get past this incident, you will be stronger because you will know what your limits are. I'm not saying its easy... but if you ended up in this situation by working on something that you are truly proud of, or that you accomplished something that you wanted your entire life- then for me, its worth it.

Lastly, if you need help, or are having a tough time hit me up. I don't know what help I can be, but I can try to help you get through it :)
I understand that. But my point is that the process was way easier, faster and better than most European countries, Canada or the UK. For the same type of visa.

> The cause for cops murdering innocent civilians is that the cost for doing so is zero.

Usually this falls under self defence. As far as I know, if someone is on your property and you shoot them, you can say it was self defence and you have the chance to get away with it clean. I heard so many stories about this, like where a guy shot a teenager dead because the kid was drunk and wanted to steal a garden gnome or something.

> It deters me from killing people who pissed me off.

Well, I don't know what your job is, but I presume it doesn't involve guns in any shape or form, or the possibility to go to a place and get shot at. And hey it deters you, but there are a couple of other million people whom it does not. With this mentality we wouldn't have mass shootings and gun crimes at all, not even a simple robbery.

> There is probably no perfect solution

Yup, that is very true.

Anyway, all I think is that the US gun laws are responsible in some extent for police brutality. Take away guns from civilian hands and you can have a much more relaxed and non-lethal approach to law enforcement. This might not work 100%, or it might not work at all, but it would be worth a try. Too many people are shot to death in the US. Sooner or later people get to used to it and then nothing will change.
The distinction doesn't seem to be 'xor', but 'and'. The question of human criminality is unchanged, while they posit an additional criminality for the robot itself. The most interesting bit to me here is that there might be times where the human decision making is so diffuse that no humans are liable, but something can still be legally done if you hold the robot itself accountable.

I could imagine a robo equivalent to the 2008 financial crash, maybe a horrible transit accident or something, but where no single person or corporation is quite criminal enough to hold accountable, but the end result is still bad. In one world, all the people go "Oh hey, we weren't really punished" and do it again. In another world, you put the robot in "jail" and the people go "Oh shit, they took our property. That was expensive. Let's not do that anymore." ... optimistically.
Companies managing large houses with many thousands of computers care about efficiency gains in the sub-percent range - so even a 5% performance penalty is entirely a no-go. I doubt the kernel is nearly as featureful as Linux, either.

Now, could one of these academic kernels have sheer engineering effort put into optimizing that 5-15% regression away? Probably.
4.3 turbo probably for one core out of 28 .. for a few seconds. I would compare it to epyc though, considering price (Xeon 8180m which is basically the same die with a locked multiplier is 13.000$, even slashing the high margins i don't think intel will sell this one anywhere near epyc's 4000$)
Indeed I was, and foolishly didn't put Royal Navy in the OP, though I thought I had.

Sorry for the confusion :)
So, full disclosure, I helped create and ran the developer tools group at a large, well-known tech company. This is a space I'm intimately familiar with.

The idea seems pretty straightforward to me and not particularly insightful. Calling it an OS is different from calling it a platform, but effectively it's the same thing. Perhaps more interesting are the implications of that analogy -- do you ship APIs and have a lot of third party people building on top of you like in the Github model or do you go more in the direction of Atlassian? I know that's a bit of a false dichotomy, Atlassian has APIs and Github is clearly trying to extend their toolchain, but in general you have one with a rich ecosystem and the other where you mostly ship what they provide.

For myself, I see GitLab trying to be more of a Github alternative than an Atlassian alternative. I don't know if that's your strategic intent, but that's how it comes across to me. In either case, I think the industry in this space is pretty unexciting in terms of the kinds of innovation that are happening right now. Google still has a toolchain that is a decade ahead of most of us, and I don't see anyone really tackling that head on.

The averages went from $55k to $56k to $60k in the last three quarters. Including Autopilot and FSD does actually make sense, considering at the $35k unveiling Musk joked it wouldn't have a steering wheel...

Even if we grant them the benefit of doubt, it certainly isn't an accident to keep using the same algorithm once you know its consequences.

There's been hand-wringing about Youtube funnelling users to extremist content, and it always comes to down to "the algorithm" as if there's nothing that can be done about it.

Someone had to choose to implement the algorithm. Someone had to choose the metrics it was optimized to meet. Someone had to go, "Children are being drawn to extremist videos after watching PewDiePie and that's okay."
