I agree. I think transcripts beside graphical formats are absolutely necessary or at least it's empathetic.

Self plug: I have a startup related site which is text only and occasionally I draw some comics which always consists of transcription.

Congratulations on launching! It looks like a great product. Some technical questions which I didn’t see answered on my first glance:

(1) Is it a single-server only, or is it possible to store data replicated as well?

(2) I’m guessing that all the benchmarks were done with all the hot data paged into memory (correct?); what’s the performance once you hit the disk? How much memory do you recommend running with?

(3) How’s the durability? How often do you write to disk? How do you take backups? Do you support streaming backups? How fast/slow/big are snapshot backups?
Additionally there's other identifiers that when coupled with the 1/350k, they can figure it out pretty quickly.
> Fiduciary duty is to the shareholders. There is a misconception that you are not a shareholder.

You seem to have a misconception that fiduciary duty must be to shareholders. Plenty of people (although it's a lot more common in Europe than the US) hold the viewpoint that companies have a duty to their employees. IMO our economy would end up a lot more balanced if companies paid higher wages rather than passing that money on to shareholders.
A brand new bike can be as low as €100 highly dependent on current availability and discounts. Cheap bikes are €100-200, maybe up to €250 for an adult man mountain bike.

I'm shocked you'd call a $750 bike "cheap" when that's undeniably high end.

Author here. This sums it up well. I want the WSL2 setup so I can also keep running the zsh setup and bash scripts I was already using on macOS. For work I need to run several Docker containers in addition to the Clojure/Java stuff. Since I had not used Docker on Windows prior to WSL2, I jumped to the combination immediately. I figured that running everything in WSL2 was easier than some things inside and some things outside.

In practice, I think what matters a lot though especially for guys is ones ethnicity, especially for Asian men. I think that rarely gets mentioned in these discussions.

This Asian male model's story of online dating is pretty much my experience as well as the experience of my other Asian male friends, except while he's obviously very physically attractive, I'm not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAo_mZMIUgg

Having a nicer headshot didn't change any of that, including for some of my male Asian friends who are also models and thus, have actually very well polished photographs.

I remember saying that to my white male friend and he just couldn't understand why I wasn't getting as many hits per week as we was.
Not the OP, but Cayce Pollard is the main character from Gibson’s Book “Pattern Recognition”. In the book, there is a subculture obsessed with a movie that has been deliberately distributed in small pieces. The fans try to discern the meaning of the movie and are foiled in determining the year or location it was shot due to the deliberate generic-ness of the costumes.

I don’t know what CPU aesthetic is, though.

I agree. I think most people want to do something with their lives, something fulfilling. Like raise a family, fix up their house, paint, make music, and so on. Some people want to build businesses.

Point is, a lot of people find their jobs tedious, tiring, and depressing. They have no energy to do the things they want to do after work and so they switch off in front of the TV or whatever.

We have not really come all that far from 150 years ago. The work is safer, more comfortable perhaps, but for many people it's soul sucking tedium.

Its all really cool technology, and I love the convenience of having a smartphone camera in my pocket, which I use often, for the right type of photography and when no other option is available.

Search engines seem like they're subject to quantum mechanics, in that they're the observer that affects the state of the internet.

An internet without search engines was an internet without SEO, and without vast fortunes being spent on manipulating content to sell garbage. Launching "Backrub" in that environment must have seemed like an unalloyed good, but the very act of launching it turned out to have a profoundly negative impact on the web as a whole.

Yeah, many hindu digits are ostensibly by inspection the origin of the Latin digits we use today in the west, while the Persians and Arabs adapted the system to their own writing (which you can also tell by looking at the actual arabic digit system which has different glyphs but orders the numbers the same way the Hindus did — so numbers are written little endian in Arabic but spoken big endian like everyone else). They are quite reasonably referred to as hindu-arabic simply because the Islamic scholars introduced them to Europe.

Likewise we ought to refer to most of Greek philosophy, poetry, and literature as “Greek-Arabic” as without the Islamic scholars who preserved it very little would have survived.

The classic movie Gone With the Wind has been pulled from streaming services for political reasons.

HPCG has been reported for years.

Linpack is the "legacy" benchmark on pure FLOPs throughput. But HPCG is the more realistic benchmark that better tests the interconnects.

HPCG is a sparse-matrix, which more accurately represents many HPC problems. Linpack is a bit of a legacy, but still represents dense-compute pretty well.

Its still a GFLOPs / TFLops style measurement, but HPCG has a LOT more data movement.

I like what Microsoft has been doing so far and I suspect it's worked out well for them. I bought the Xbone primarily because I would be able to play all the 360 games that I already had.

Of course, I didn't bother doing so in practice, and it turned out that the ps4 had many more games that I actually wanted to play. But the strategy worked!

Conversely, with Nintendo there are a number of classics that I've paid for at least three times.

Shit, in the case of Yoshi's Island, IMO one of the best platformers ever, it's four (or maybe more like 3.5 times): the original for SNES, the GBA version (with gimped effects!), the WiiU virtual console version, the SNES classic version, and now the 'Nintendo online' version.

That said, the fact that Nintendo can get it away with this without making me really hate them on any level, in the end, speaks highly of the amount of brand loyalty I've developed at this point.

Quantum entanglement can't be used to send information without also sending some photons or other signal between two locations. That's one problem Einstein had with entanglement- at the time, it looked like entanglement might let you send information "at a distance" without transmitting anything. It turns out that entanglement is real but it conspires to prevent any entangled correlations from actually conveying classical information on their own.[0]

The idea behind quantum cryptography is to send photons from A to B that are specially prepared so that any attempt to read those photons in flight would be detected. You use these photons to pick a shared key, and then communicate between A and B using that key via a classical channel. If you detect someone snooping on the initial key exchange, you can toss that key and try again.

CNC machines do the bulk manufacturing. In high end shops, gunsmiths do the final finish work. It used to be that high production firearms still had gunsmiths overseeing production. Now, in places like Remington, firearms come off the machines and get put right into the box.

A range friend of mine is on his 3rd new Remington 700. He sent the original new unit back and they shipped him a new one. It was defective, he sent it back. They sent him another one. This was in the last 6 months. These were all issues with the machining of the chamber that should never have been shipped in the first place. A simple check with a flashlight would have revealed the problems that were plainly visible to the naked eye.

Conversely, I have 7 Remington products that I purchased new as late as 2005 and they have all been perfect.

The real insight here (which you allude to) is that (all else being equal) large organisations are inherently inefficient. If you take the classic libertarian view that government is inefficient and extend the logic to apply to all large organisations (and indeed individuals who control large amounts of wealth) then you end up at a very interesting political position that can provide a unified critique of both modern capitalism and soviet style communism by explaining the failings of both as being due to concentration of power (state power in the case of communism, economic power in the case of capitalism).

Factor in commuting. When I commuted to London I spent 4 hours in transit. Get up at 7am, at my desk at 9am. Leave work at 5:30p and get home at 7:30pm. Many people do this. Their whole week is spent working, eating, and sleeping for two exhausted days off at the weekend and a barrage of unattended tasks, chores, neglected relationships deferred during work hours.

Edit: I am not sure how you got to 1/5th. By my calculation of the waking hours in a week 37.5hrs is ~1/3rd of 112hrs.

I guess I mean this as a semi-defense of Google, even though I don't like them and use DDG personally.

When doing a search on travel, what are the odds you get not-garbage in your results? Compare, say, 2000 to 2020. I can see a scenario in which Google was committed to providing open results, but those open results slowly became garbage, and they felt compelled to launch their own tool to ensure good results.

And sure, it puts profit in their pocket too, of course.

> no desire to have more leisure time to consume content

I have noticed this over the last year too.

Since I have started climbing, playing league soccer and doing (incredibly amateur) jam sessions, I have found it impossible to watch TV shows/ movies or waste too much time mindlessly surfing on reddit/social media.

I will however, call all of them leisure. They are important to me, and I do put in serious effort to consistently improve in all of them, but there is something fundamentally leisurely to the nature of it.
"Among people I know who track modern firearm technology I don't know a single person who would even contemplate buying a Remington."

Anecdotal, but we needed several workhorse .308 rifles and even considering the previous issues with the Rem 700 triggers, etc., I still chose that model.

In addition to being a simple mechanism and easy to clean and maintain, it has a very high adoption rate which means parts and chassis replacements are readily available.

Those attributes, combined with a very reasonable price, made it easy to select.

If it were a single rifle, just for myself, I may have chosen a Savage model instead. On the other hand, my personal rifle now matches, and parts shares, and has identical maintenance, with all of the rest of them. I find that valuable.

Intel already confirmed on their earnings call that Ponte Vecchio will be based on "external process technologies", so while yes, 6nm is (probably) an error, Intel is 100% certainly running their GPUs on TSMC.

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/313222-intel-amd-repor...

They're not moving everything to TSMC, just this specific line of products - which is a new line and would have required additional fab capacity somewhere. That's either 14nm (completely full), 10nm (massively low yields on something this big), or outside the company.
There are plenty of construction companies that are still using undocumented laborers.

In 2015 when my grandparent's home was being torn down and rebuilt, our construction company used Peruvian and Portuguese undocumented labor, supervised by citizen foremen.

A few Windows HiDPI problems I've experienced with an external 4k display: all the task bar status icons are blurred nearly unrecognizably after a while, Qt-based applications seem to be twice as large (text scale, and widgets) than win32 based ones (sure it's a Qt thing, no Windows), Steam can't figure out where the pointer is after a while (seems to track the pointer as 1/4 of where it is in x/y coordinates), and win32 applications often appear blurred and require some compatibility setting via the .exe file's properties thing which I don't understand because it seems to make no difference.

Honestly, Pop_OS! on the same setup is much smoother. Probably something to do with the HiDPI Daemon it has running.

The only flawless operating system on this 4k external setup has been macOS. Can't think of any problems and that's my daily system.
Well this didn't age well. We have now used the pandemic to force work into our homes, if anyone was even pretending it didn't follow them before all of this. That is of course only true for those who can still find work. Of course, the dynamic of job scarcity creates an even worse version of stockholm syndrome for those 'lucky' enough to continue to draw paychecks.

That's not necessarily true. Governments frequently intervene in the running of public companies. Also, many public companies compete against privately run businesses.
I think that's a much harder comparison than you're giving it credit for. Amazon workers don't all despise their job, and WW2 factory workers who did despise their job would have been a lot less likely to get a platform. Who knows which fraction is really higher?
