wow, what an understatement! 3x is huge.

so if it speeds up factorization, even by 1.5x, then that's significant for RSA isn't it?

The design proposed by the article is very interesting - it's cheap and compact (in an amusingly humorous way, I find).

Considering it's not demanding in terms of space, it can be built and used as "filler activity" with children. While the geek's dream is certainly playing arcade games on a real-world cabinet for hours, with a child, it can be an activity to do more or less frequently on small sessions (e.g. half hour).

My very wild guess is that children should be able to enjoy arcade games when they're around 7+ years old - arcade games are on one designed to be quickly challenging, on the other, at home, they have virtually infinite lives; every child is different, of course.

On the other hand, a real PC with a couple of arcade joysticks, and maybe Wii remote controllers, is considerably more flexible, and can be a good test drive to see if the activity works :-)
No. For us, an easy litmus test is "if one of our people had to move home to care for a sick parent, would we want to reduce their pay by $50k?"

Obviously not, and if you don't do it in that scenario, you don't do it in any scenario.

For reference, we're entirely distributed, no offices.
I'm another bitwarden user. I used to use lastpass but back when firefox switched to their webextensions lastpass didn't update right away so I switched.
As a bit of a counterpoint:

One of my prior projects involved working with a lot of ex-FPGA developers. This is obviously a rather biased group of people, but I saw a lot of feedback around that was very negative about FPGAs.

One comment that's telling is that since the 90s, FPGAs were seen as the obvious "next big technology" for HPC market... and then Nvidia came out and pushed CUDA hard, and now GPGPUs have cornered the market. FPGAs are still trying to make inroads (the article here mentions it), but the general sense I have is that success has not been forthcoming.

The issue with FPGAs is you start with a clock rate in the 100s of MHz (exact clock rate is dependent on how long the paths need to be), compared with a few GHz for GPUs and CPUs. Thus you need a 5× performance win from switching to an FPGA just to break even, and you probably need another 2× on top of that to motivate people going through the pain of FPGA programming. Nvidia made GPGPU work by being able to demonstrate meaningful performance gains to make the cost of rewriting code worth it; FPGAs have yet to do that.

Edit: It's worth noting that the programming model of FPGAs has consistently been cited as the thing holding back FPGAs for the past 20 years. The success of GPGPU, despite the need to move to a different programming model to achieve gains there, and the inability of the FPGA community to furnish the necessary magic programming model suggests to me (and my FPGA-skeptic coworkers) that the programming model isn't the actual issue preventing FPGAs from succeeding, but that FPGAs have structural issues (e.g., low clock speeds) that prevent their utility in wider market classes.
Fooled by randomness: we understand less than we think
I don't think it's a matter of "should", it's a question of what an employee is willing to accept and what a company is willing to pay.

It's been my experience that if you don't offer higher salaries to folks living in high cost areas, they simply won't come work for you.

My guess is that over time as remote work becomes more common, the cost of living differentials between places (at least in the US) will start to flatten, though it may take quite some time.

That's literally how herd immunity works. People with no or mild symptoms go out and spread the virus, people with heavy symptoms stay home. Virus is encouraged evolutionarily to be as non-symptomatic as possible.

Unfortunately we have totally broken this with our lockdown strategy, which has meant that heavily symptomatic people are allowed out to get medical treatment and spread the virus in clinic and hospitals, whilst everyone else is forced to stay home.

I recently tried to buy travel insurance. I had to check a box that I'd never been suspected of criminal activities, even if I was found to not be guilty (!), otherwise I wouldn't have been allowed to buy the insurance.

This was in the Netherlands, btw.
Tangentially related: I've been working on a plotting tool (https://github.com/LaurentRDC/pandoc-plot) that supports many plotting toolkits. I recently added support for Plots.jl. I can't believe how SLOW it is to get from running a script to getting output. 10x slower than matplotlib, 100x slower than Gnuplot.
At a practical level, the industry will pay you the least amount of money for which you will accept the offer.

In SF/Seattle, if they do not add the COL multiplier, your wages are low enough, that you might reject the offer. On the other hand, it is quite unlikely for a person to able to find another competitive offer, even if their salary is significantly lower than their colleague who make less.

At an ideological level, this poses a much bigger question. Are employees paid a proportional amount to the value they bring to their organization ?

I would say no. I do not believe every talented European is 40% as capable as the average developer in the US. I do not believe that the same software engineer that made $10k in India, suddenly brings 10x as much value due to a 1 year masters, once they move to the US.

Everything points towards companies historically paying employees not the salary they deserve, but the salary they will accept. As long as remote employees continue accepting these lower salaries, they will continue to be paid lower salaries.

It is a chicken and egg problem, in that sense.
In terms of syntax this seems pretty lightweight, though. It's the same as instantiating a normal object or array, except with a hash in front.
Fairly accurate USB clones of NES/SNES/Sega/etc controllers were about $20 on Amazon last time I checked. I have some for my Raspberry Pi.

Not really, unless the company chooses the location, or requires people in different locations. For example, the foreign ministry or supranational organisations need people in every country they run consulates/embassies/offices; airlines or export oriented businesses might need people in different locations - they should be paid depending on the local cost of living (and depending on that, the employer might choose to send more or fewer people there).

But for remote work, ie work that can be done anywhere at the discretion of the employee, why should there be any connection?

As it happens, this would create an incentive for employees to move to cheaper locations, and thus alleviate pressure on the housing market in the most expensive locales, and raise salaries in cheaper parts of the world.

Arbitrage tends to reduce differences/inequalities, in this specific case as well as in general.

It's a refresh of the last gen model. Technically, the 14" Motile M142 was the "rebrand" (OEM) of the TongFang (ODM) PF4PU1F (P for Picasso) and the new one is the TongFang PF4NU1F (N for Renoir). It's been available for about a month now in China as the Mechrevo S2 Air (you can find it on JD.com or see mostly Chinese reviews on YouTube) and is also on sale in Korea by Hansung/Monsterlabs.

It's using the exact same chassis, but as you mentioned this generation is a significant internal improvement - not just dual-channel RAM, but also significantly upgraded TDP (54W vs 22W) with new dual-fan, dual-heat pipe cooling, plus USB-C PD.

The 15" refresh the PF5NU1G was also launched at the same time initially as the Mechrevo Code 01. I've posted earlier in this thread linking to all the details about it for those that are interested, since I have one.
IIRC some CPUs of the Intel Atom series already have an embedded FPGA.

> That's because what they mean is that the moon appears more brightly at night, and I suspect you know this.

No, I don't think that's the reason. The moon is frequently very bright during the day, not even remotely hard to see. Moreover, people are mostly outside during the day, meaning that most of the time they have the opportunity to see the moon will be during the day.

I think the reason is that a supposed sun/moon - day/night dichotomy is perpetuated by culture (for instance, clock dials that use an image of the moon to symbolize the night) and that culture has a stronger impact on people's perception of the moon than their personal observations of the sky. I think they have seen the moon during the day, but the moon is very rarely the object of their attention. They see it, but rarely do they notice it.

The reason for such a culture emerging seems obvious to me; the Sun's presence in the sky obviously correlates with daylight perfectly, making the sun an obvious symbol to associate with the day. But then what symbol would you use for the night? There's a clear day/night dichotomy, creating a demand for a symbol that's inverse of the sun. However there's no object in the sky that correlates so perfectly with the night. The moon isn't there half the time, but neither is any particular star. You could use generic stars, and sometimes that's done, but stars aren't necessarily visually distinctive. The moon is visually distinctive and so it's pressed into the roll of being the symbolic opposite of the Sun, even though a trivial glance into the sky reveals that it isn't actually opposite of the sun.

I’ve had a T480 since summer 2018. It is the worst computer I have ever owned, less reliable and poorer build quality than a $250 Acer netbook from 2010. I had to install Windows because of an error to update one of several firmware issues that have arisen with this machine — this one relating to Thunderbolt without which it could not provide external output over any port but HDMI, and there only at 30 Hz for 4K. And I think the throttling issue is still not fixed. The ports on the board are extremely flimsy and I’m going to have to send my machine in to fix them a second time. At the very least they have massive issues in developing and deploying quality firmware.

You're right, but the Siberian heatwave is also a weather event. It's contextualized in climate science, but let's play it out. The article says carbon is a 600x likelihood multiplier. That's one region in one season. What is the likelihood of such an event in any region over 4 seasons? These sorts of stories promote misunderstanding of exactly your point.
First, what do you mean by “should”?

In the predictive sense, if a company can hire a remote employee to do a job for $X per year, or a different remote employee to do the job equally well for $0.9X per year, the rational economic choice is to prefer the lower paid employee.

In the normative sense, the employee is selling their ideas and labor. Those things don’t change in value when they move, at least not within the same time zone. So, if you’re selling your labor and ideas in one location vs another in the same time zone, you “should” get the same no matter what.

We all know which of these scenarios actually happens in real life, and it’s because the power disparity between employee and employer is so skewed in favor of the employer. And, as I’ve alluded to, time zone can change things, because having an employee whose normal work hours allow them to respond to incidents that would be happening in the middle of the night can be valuable. Conversely, if a company depends on synchronous communication, having work shifts overlap is valuable.
Thanks for reading!

I got the idea from danman, but his setup is much cooler than mine:

Higher salaries are not compensations for higher CoL but rather both are a result of more demand to live in a certain area (partially because of there being many jobs but that's unrealated).

If a company wants to attract talent in an area with a lot of competition it has to raise its salary offers. And rent goes up in the same way.

So no, it's fair (in some sense) to offer people different salaries based on their location (when work was on site) but that's part of the personal negotiations that take their other options (or lack there of) into account, but it's not some kind of automatic compensation you can demand or expect and with remote work its becoming more and more irrelevant.

You absolutely can drop those frames. Exoplanetary transits are generally in the range of 1 to 4 hours, and hundreds of exposures may be taken in that time. In my undergraduate I studied astronomy and some of my classmates did an exoplanet detection project with a 61" scope and had issues with satellites on a handful of frames. Sure, it sucks to lose 2 minutes worth of data, but it's not even lose to catastrophic when you have the data before and after as well.

> determine what an employee at a given level is worth to the company

Nobody does this. It's not even possible apart from the most contrived cases. Salary is determined by a number of factors none of which have anything to do with the employee's worth to the company.
Should someone be paid more if they move to an area with a higher cost of living, even if they started in an area where they were making a lower salary?

If I move from nowhere, KS to NYC or SF, should my salary quadruple (or more)?

Hmm, if so, how hard would it be to game the system and only make it look like you moved to an area with a high CoL?
Why on Earth should a company pay someone who lives in SF a higher wage just because they choose to live in a million dollar shack?
They are clearly not synonyms. At the very least, notice this difference in your two definitions.

2. The average of many data points
But we're not paid by CoL, rather, the job market. If I move to a very small but expensive village, I'm not going to get paid more than being in London. Silicon Valley is just a weird edge case where there's so much talent in one place that it's affecting CoL.

Regardless, there's always going to be a premium on in-person talent.
Would learning that the diplomatic channels of the UN were some of the methods used to relay information during, for example, the Cuban middle crisis change your opinion? The comparison seems to lack historical context, the UN has been involved into international diplomatic actions relating to nuclear war far more than any footballers.

I think the “spreading democracy” mindset is wholly unsubstantiated, as most of the wars you mentioned were predicated on either preserving or spreading democracy. If we need war to prevent war, it seems that there can be no peace.
That is a really good question, and also one that most people are incapable of discussing rationally. The reasons are, of course, understandable.

SVG is simpler than CSS because it doesn't tackle the inherently difficult problems of adapting typography and layout to a wide variety of devices and aspect ratios. It is simpler in the same way it is simpler to create a PDF than to create an adaptive layout.

SVG is just scalable vector graphics, like Postscript which is the basis of PDF.
