I feel his strength was being an endless fountain of interesting ideas combined with ability to inspire lots of hard work from his development team.
I forget if it was Dungeon Keeper or Black and White where they talked to the development team while he was on a junket and they had no idea about of a bunch of the features he was promising.
Ultimately I think he had a really talented team at Bullfrog who slowly burned out and over time people were less willing to kill themselves on death marches trying to carry out his whims.

Ah, thank you. I thought I was the only one to have a kid who bought a third keyboard.

It is not even a correct AZERTY (French layout) and it makes an awful nose but he seems to think that this is heaven. God for him.

He recently bought a pack of "better" keys and it seems that he is starting to realize that this is a rip off...
Why do institutional investors undermine price discovery? This comment doesn't make sense to me.

> The latest numbers i have seen is that 80% of the market shares is controlled by institutional investors.

Institutional investor != passive investment.

As long as trades are happening, there is some sort pricing mechanism.
Apparently it's possible to bust the cache.

Not just more convenient, but also much more accessible. How many people had access to black cars pre Uber and how long did it take for a car to arrive? But besides that, most uber drives won't become black car drivers if uber disappears. Most probably won't even be taxi drivers. They'll go look for some other work (which is presumably worse, otherwise they'd already be doing it) or just become unemployed.
And the index funds followed right along. Perhaps index funds, by blindly following market trends, amplify bad actors' ability to distort the market.

Of course, retail investors followed slavishly along too. So this isn't merely a problem with index funds.

Also, all that said, tech stock prices today are still way up compared to when Softbank started buying options back in April.
This is getting far afield from the actual Nanoprocessor, which has increment and decrement instructions. With those, you can add two numbers by repeatedly incrementing one and decrementing the other. (Which is a bit like addition using the Peano axioms.)

See page 126 of the Nanoprocessor User's Manual for code to add two numbers in this way.

Really cool idea, although it does seem to label most of what I draw as "line", "stitches", or "rain".
Isn't there just an infinite series of questions that you can ask? How come there are so few paraplegic entrepreneurs? How come there are so few Eskimo entrepreneurs? I don't think that equality of opportunity will necessarily lead to homogeneity and equal representation in every single field of commerce. People are all wired differently with different inclinations/desires/ambitions/goals/skills.
> What routine tasks and skills of yours have become so second nature, you sparsely think about them anymore?

Noticing hypotheticals. I think this is similar to being paranoid about possible bugs in your code. In the same vein when you do statistics and obtain some result (i.e. something between group A and group B is different by x%) you start automatically imagining scenarios that could have caused this result as a false-positive. Maybe the groups were somehow imbalanced, maybe the methodology used did something differently for both of those groups, maybe there was a sampling bias.

> As a careered data scientist, what separates industry practice from academia? What project, or task helped you realize this?

In industry your result is typically subservient to some other purpose (i.e. making decisions, increasing sales, reducing costs, predicting customer loyalty). In academia the result is typically at the forefront (i.e. an observation worth writing a paper about)

> Did you wear rose color glasses before practicing in your field? What cleared them?

No, I started working with statistics before the term "data scientist" became popular. I did have some hopes after the articles with "statistics will be the sexiest job of the 21st century" appeared. But it quickly waned. The hype brought a lot of noise to the field and the focus shifted from what (in my opinion) is most important - working with open eyes. Today a lot of "data scientists" don't have fundamentals in statistics, use methods they don't understand, focus on secondary things like programming languages and tools, and think of themselves as having an "imposter's syndrome".

(this part turned out to be quite ranty but I want to leave it like that).

> What is the monotony or grunge work of a data scientist?

Staring at a computer. Preparing the data, cleaning the data, combining the data, looking for more data, presenting your results.

> What is the kind of work that makes it all worth it?

Getting insights and intuitions that other people don't have. Being the first to discover something novel, interesting, or valuable. Reflecting back on what you do in a more general way, i.e. asking questions "what it means to know something", "can data really speak for itself", "does every kind of analysis require having some initial assumptions". And if you are good then you can get to work in a variety of different areas, from predicting the results of an election, to analysing 3d scans of brain patterns in schizophrenia.

> What other questions should be seeking answers that would help me understand what life as a data scientist is really like?

Talk is cheap. If I were you I would try to experience it myself. Volunteer somewhere or start participating in some open competition (like maybe Kaggle) and see how your day will look like.
My question is, does a person really need $110b, or even $1b or $500m to retire and live a life of leisure and luxury until they die a natural death from old age at 95? How much is enough?

This really gravely misunderstands how teams are formed in a lot of growing companies.

5 new engineers start fresh out of college. They work directly under some VP of engineering. They become friends, as young people of like interests who work together every day are wont to do.

The company grows! Now you need to organize into an actual team. So someone becomes a team lead, and others stay ICs.

Do they now divorce themselves of friendship, since one is a manager and the others are not? No, that's stupid. They are friends where one is a manager.

> US Covid cases, but stocks just kept going up

Just because you don't understand why the market is priced a certain way doesn't mean the market is irrational.

Perhaps stocks went up because of the expectations generated by past Fed policy stances post-2008.
Your relationship should ideally be convivial, fun, mutually informative and beneficial for you both. You should be getting both guidance navigating your company's politics from your manager, and overall career growth by working on their team. Sometimes they won't be technically stronger than you, but in those cases they should be helping you grow in other ways (giving talks, mentoring others, taking on leadership tasks). In cases where they are technically more proficient you should be learning from them, perhaps not actively but at least they're pointing you in the right direction. During all this you're enjoying spending time working with this person professionally.

In return what you offer your manager is someone who's capable of doing work and becoming increasingly capable of working with less direction. Eventually you take ownership of initiatives. You should advocate for your team where appropriate, but never fanatically. You should be brave enough to speak up if you're worried about their course of action.

The main dynamic is this: In return for them helping you grow and navigate, you're trying your best to be someone who's self-sufficient, capable and someone they don't have to worry about.

There are a few things you should definitely not be doing. You shouldn't be spending too much time with them outside of work (an occasional happy hour or office event is a-ok). You shouldn't be getting drunk with them. You shouldn't be getting counseling or guidance on intensely personal issues like romantic relationships or personal life goals. Your relationship should pass a simple smell test: if you were to tell someone you were engaging in a behavior with your boss would they be shocked or surprised. If so it's probably not appropriate. Here's an example: "I eat lunch with my boss a few times a week." Seems fine to me. "I've eaten lunch with my boss every day for the last six months" Seems a bit off to me. Of course different people will have different limits-- it's up to you to set healthy boundaries that work for you.

Finally, when one of you moves on from the company, feel free to have any type of relationship you want with the manager. You're both now two independent people. I would still overall caution from becoming too intimate with them, but it's your life and you should trust yourself to steward it correctly. The reason I caution is that it's because you really don't know this person on a deeper level, and you might be surprised with what you find out. Most likely you'll maintain some professional friendship, perhaps even help each other out for several years, but after that lose touch. Ideally, you'll always look back on working with this person as a time of great fun, enjoyment and growth.

I've never used a HP 9885 floppy disk drive but the chip sounds pretty awesome for PLC programmable logic controller drudgery tasks like emulating many relays for combinatorial logic.

So there's probably a simulated virtual relay that won't let the disk drive heads drop on the media unless the motor is up to speed, or a relay that locks the door if the motor is up to speed or makes kinda a phase locked loop that speeds up and slows down the drive motor until the speed is dead on accurate at 300 rpm. Upon power up or reset drive the head toward track zero until the track zero sensor is hit. A relay that hardware disables the write head if the write protect switch is set. Disable additional stepping of the track stepper motors to prevent damage if the head bonks into the track zero microswitch sensor. All kinds of fun stuff that doesn't involve addition but just piles of combinatorial logic rules repeatedly run thru a couple hundred times a second.
It's an inspirational message, sure, but it's VERY easy for a billionaire to say something like that.

Many have the exact opposite advice: "Don't turn your passion into a career."

Some could say it's a sad way of thinking, but when you're making a good living and have kids to raise, gambling away your career to pursue a dream isn't necessarily selfish... yet it could be irresponsible. Taking the advice of a lucky billionaire at face value is risky.
Our careers are longer games than a single job. We're not robots and relationships in the industry that are not purely self-interested are important. "Friend" is always going to change with the context, but it's worth having a personal side to the relationship.
Don't forget: the plural of anecdote is data
Yes, I consider myself friends with my manager.

I also consider myself friends with 2 of my 5 direct reports.

These are people that I've known for half a decade or more, though. Also, I think the manager aspect came after the friendship aspect in most cases.
Inflation is on track for 0.44% annualized in 2020, about 1/4 of an average year due to the reduced velocity of money caused by the downturn more than offsetting the new money being printed.
As a long term worker from home I feel a sense of victimhood that floods all the article.

I understand that most people are working for a company so others tell her what to do after school when they also train you what to do and you are micromanaged all the time.

The article portrays that you need your boss to create your social circle for you.

People do not see that as the enormous opportunity that it is.

For example, before I worked remote I used to spend two hours every day commuting. I risked my life on the road with truck drivers and other carriers that were always late, stressed and dangerous. That also required my own money in gas and car repairs, expensive clothing...

Most people at the office were not my friends, they were coworkers, and because I spent so much time there I had no time for seeing my real friends and family. I was also exhausted all the time, because I did not sleep enough.

Working remote is amazing for me now(it was tough at first) and it could be for a lot of people is only they learn to grasp the opportunity.

Take control of your own life, you will have to go against the training of the school days that is pervasive, school took years of your live. It will take you years to undo this training. Make your own group of friends, lovers. Sleep and eat well. Exercise. Invest on your skills.

The article portrays young people as victims, and it is quite the opposite, they are the ones that can adapt and learn and grow.

I went to Russia and most old people had a hard time working in a capitalist society because they grew up in a State that did everything for them, so as young people they did not developed the skills to make things on their own. If you actually tried , you were strongly punished.

But young people are adaptable. When I was young and started working remotely very few people did, so I had to learn on the go. Today it is much better and easier.

Be proactive, refuse being a victim, if you have problems with working remote create a club, a mail list or whatever for other people in your same situation. Learn from people that have made it.

But don't be a victim. We will be having covid for at least 5 to 6 months more in the north Hemisphere. You can spend that time doing something about it, learning and improving your skills or just complain all the time.

After everything goes back to normal, most people will not do remote work 100%, but odds are they will do 30%, 40, or 50%, and their live will improve as a result if you have gotten the skills.
Your neighbors and county can certainly challenge the use of "your" land. I think you're assuming that ownership means you can "do whatever the hell you want". Ordinances, zoning, right of way, eminent domain, and federal regulations often restrict what you can do and may require ceding control of parts/all of your land, and if your neighbors are really pissed, they could certainly raise hell and make it very difficult.

I met Craig last year in person and spent some time reading his book. No way he is Satoshi; he refused to give straight answers to rather simple questions and spent the whole time making rather obvious allegations. From all the dodgy people I met in crypto over the last years, if I ever met someone where just everything screams “conman” then it was Craig. I might be wrong, who knows. But I’d be willing to make a huge bet against him.
I think a key issue is that in any text we use incomplete indicators to determine legitimacy.

Deciding on the legitimacy of an “opinion” comes down to meta ways of assessing; including the length of the text (HN rewards longer responses if they can maintain coherence and interest), the language style used (don’t make a technical mistake and use a technical term in the wrong context), the logic with which the argument is laid out, the emotional tone of the writer (No jokes on HN please).

All of these are now gameable leading to say for risk for example of state actors shifting our collective opinions on a huge range of topics.

I regularly make spelling mistakes in my posts and when I don’t correct them I loose points as I think the coherence and easy of reading goes down. GPT3 is unlikely to have the same issues.

Maybe he doesn't want that power, though. People start to do weird things to please a supreme leader.

Here's a story from my first couple months at Google. When I joined, I worked on payments. We were about to launch a new credit card thing. I honestly don't remember what value this had to anyone, but it seemed like a big deal at the time. Anyway, one morning we all gathered into a conference room to hear "an update" on the project after a review with Larry Page -- we're doing a total rewrite on everything, because we were switching the network that processed the cards. Why? Because at the review, Larry made a face when told the name of the network that processed the cards. Note that nobody in this meeting was at the meeting with Larry Page. We were throwing away a partnership and thousands of hours of work because someone said someone else saw Larry make a face.

(We did switch networks. The new network was more popular, but with that popularity came so many restrictions that the product could no longer do what we originally intended. It failed. Fortunately, nobody cared, because who ever even asked for a credit card from Google anyway?)

My point is, do you want one random grimace to control the fate of an entire organization? Probably not. But that's how people treat authority figures. You have to do some serious work to get people to talk, rather than to react. So maybe he just opted out of that after seeing it play out over and over again.

“
In just under two weeks of classes, there have been more than 700 positive COVID-19 cases on campus, according to the university. The school's researchers had anticipated about 700 positive cases for the entire fall semester, but if current rates continue, the school of about 50,000 students could see as many as 8,000 positive cases by the end of the term, according to a statement from the university.

At a press conference held over Zoom, Nigel Goldenfeld, a physics professor who contributed to the school's reopening plan, said the campus's models had already anticipated parties and people not wearing masks — but they did not take into account that students would fail to isolate, that they would not respond to local health officials' attempts to contact them or that students who had tested positive would nonetheless attend and host parties.”

Look, I'm no fan of Bush II and I don't want to turn this into political theater, but the presidency was corrupted long before Bush II. I'd almost guarantee that his policy was set forth in an almost "dynastical" form, that has been around since Carter's interventions in the Middle East. Maybe before.

That being said, I wish they had all stuck to their post presidential passions... minus the political fund raising.

I disagree with a lot the points in your article. The things you listed as cons with having office "friends" all sound like things no real "friend" would do. I don't generally use social media, so maybe I don't understand that aspect, but honestly if someone came to work and gossiped about me, they wouldn't be considered a friend. This article seems to specifically mean Facebook friends so I guess my opinion isn't super relevant as I don't use Facebook.
