I actually don't think that we need term limits. There is something to be said for experience. Instead we should take on the rest of the policies you mentioned, but also limit members of congress to have strict W-2-only incomes. With the exception of perhaps a 401(k) or pension plan, we need to limit the earning power of a congressional seat.

I would also go so far as to say that members of congress should not be allowed to be active in the markets for some years (8?) after they leave office and their should also be limits on jobs they are allowed to take for some time after they leave office as well. I.e. they can't go sit on a board and get paid 7-figures right after giving up their seat.

For a standard serial terminal I also really like the `miniterm.py` script that is included with the PySerial Python package.

Doing a Master's/PhD from a good university isn't a cakewalk for these foreign students. It's not something you just buy and forget with your parents' money - you have to work quite hard, compensate for language and other educational gaps, and then succeed in landing a good job and the H1B lottery. It's a risky investment.

America must ask itself why its students are not interested in grad school. Unaffordability (especially after an expensive undergrad) is absolutely a major issue, but from my experience at an Ivy, very few Americans were interested in grad school. And maybe that's fine, because doing research* is probably something that makes sense only for a small percentage of students. So there may not be a problem here, unless increasing this is an actual goal.

Without explicit measures, and with a more globally accessible approach to admissions, it stands to reason that the PhD demographics would move towards global population ratios, adjusted for access and affordability. And that's been the secular trend of the past 20 years.

*Master's is not research, and is primarily a way for universities to make money.

Not a Google or YouTube employee, but, practically, what would change?

> If you need parallelism, and can afford its complexity, separate processes sharing only what must be shared can eliminate your TLB exposure.

Then you need to ensure that all shared data structures are exclusively allocated from a dedicated memory pool which is mapped to all processes. Oh, and you must make sure that you either don't use any pointers within those datastructures, or that the shared memory pool is mapped to the same address in all processes. And no pointers must point from within to outside that memory pool.

In theory, it is possible. In practice, this would preclude any kind of non-trivial parallelism.

I agree 100%. I've said this before and been threatened with ban by admin/mod. Anytime you go against the agenda, they prevent you for posting comments sometimes in excess of an hour. Then if you reply again and they don't like it you have to wait another hour. Nothing is transparent. They just say, no political discussion, however it only seems to apply towards comments they don't like.

It looks like the previous post was flagged, so can't even comment on it.

1) shelter-in-place has been instituted locally because the federal government has been an abysmal failure.

2) Compliance with SIP breaks down along party lines, correct - but it's conservatives who insist that breaking distancing rules is absolutely mandatory to their freedoms. Liberals as a whole are more willing to follow those SIP orders.

3) The rural population has mostly done well because they're fairly insulated from global or even state-wide travel. Unfortunately, the right has taken advantage of the political divide over SIP to organize massive rallies - and pulled in a lot of people from rural areas. Some of them in turn have become infected and now spread things locally. Expect a noticeable uptick in rural places within a few weeks.

(I realize #1 & #2 may be replying to something you didn't say - it's not clear what your "paying attention to federal rhetoric" comment refers to, but it looks like it's about SIP?)

If it is that easy, maybe we should discuss the flagging system because it gives the ILLUSION that it was taken down because there's a conflict of interest.
> it seems only fair to say that academics optimize for prestige and publication in good journals.

On one hand you have lots of people arguing that the legal duty of a company is only to make money for its shareholders. When large companies fail at that goal, it's bailout time.

On the other hand you have peer-reviewed journals where authors are incentivized to find accurate results, and researchers will cite articles on the basis of their veracity (or, if incorrect, as punching bags). Of course that's a fallible process and just as vulnerable to cronyism, but when researchers are caught cooking the books they're discredited, not rewarded.

OT anecdote

If the cruise control in my vehicle is using PID, it still needs some tweaks. It's super aggressive when it's lower by 2pmh and often overshoots.

My mom's is horrid: takes forever to get up to speed, then allows downhill drift to drive the vehicle nearly 5mph over the set speed.

I feel like this kind of stuff would be fun to tweak in a simulator to help me understand why it doesn't work better, or show that I'm not entirely crazy and it can indeed be improved.
Of all the reasons, that's not the hill I'd die on.

But that is a bizarre conclusion. Is it really cheaper to let scientists focus on something they know nothing about, than to hire an expert to do it? Do you cut costs by letting scientists mop the floor, clean the toilet and guard the entrance?

They don't prevent you from criticising anything. They are only trying to remove insults.
I feel like "tool use" follows roughly the same curve as a Gartner Hype Cycle, but without an upper bound on the right (as it implies a below-peak asymptote).

In the very beginning, less is often better, since the tool is prompting you with too many things you don't understand. Then you get past that point and you're massively more productive, since it's catching all your simple mistakes. Then you become disillusioned since it doesn't catch all mistakes, and you start learning in detail how it has failed you, and you just (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ the whole thing (the "real man" trough). And in the end you go back to sophisticated tools, as you realize a 70% solution can still give you magnitudes more productivity.

It's a pretty awesome chip. I bought one the moment they came out with a B450 motherboard. It sounds like I won't be upgrading to Zen 3 with it, but that's probably fine. It's more than enough for the tasks I do.

With that said, once the 3300x is out, I would likely go that route with a cheaper a320 motherboard. This would bring the cost of the cpu/motherboard to about $175 which is terrific value, and leaves you with more money for other components.

Google Translate to/from Chinese is often terrible, especially with short phrases. Try 剿匪 which means busting gangs/bandits (剿 = bust, so this phrase is an action against bandits). However, Google translates it to “bandit”.

"Independent contractors" working from home and using their own equipment. "Gig economy". Hope they enjoy it.
Not going to rebut your entire comment—some of the assumptions are just that, assumptions about what the word “geniuses” would be implicitly taken to mean in context—but some specific points:

> people in the top of those fields ... math ... history

I don’t know any way for a “genius” mathematician or historian to get rich pursuing their own career. Some of the other examples, sure, but not these ones. It can actually make more sense for people in certain academic disciplines to take the underlying g factor that allowed them to become so good at their discipline, port it over to becoming good at programming, and then make the most money they can doing programming. (It’d be even better to port their intelligence over to an attempt at being an investment banker; but that field has far higher barriers to entry.)

> plenty of smart Chinese/Indians/Russians ... wont work for a western company

I think the presumption is that they’d work for China’s/India’s/Russia’s equivalent of FAANG. I.e., take the highest-paying “cog in the machine” programming jobs they could in their own markets.

> poets, writers, musicians

Many of the “geniuses” of these fields certainly do end up making their money in advertising, if not “ad tech” precisely.

If a songwriter/musician gets wealthy-enough to retire, most of the time, it isn’t usually from royalties from a hit single, or even from royalties from creating the soundtrack to a popular movie. It’s almost always from big-contract (but work-for-hire) advertising jingles.

Artists (or, moreover, illustrators and visual designers)? Again, usually the biggest contracts are with advertisers—or with product-design consultancies who get paid to increase products’ marketability through a visual refresh.
