The tulip derivative bubble lasted for a few months; beanie babies were a year or two at most. Bitcoin is over ten years old.

Do you have any examples of a bubble which

- lasted more than 5 years
- recovered from previous drops in value of more than 50 %?

What kind of evidence would convince you that bitcoin were different from these past bubbles?

I don't think that interpretation offers much insight. Presumably, they want to comply with the law and want to retain their visa holders. Both, at the same time, if possible. Whether they actually do both is a different question.

Yea there is something uniquely activist academic about all these complaints you see surfacing nowadays.

DCA isn't a panacea. It performs well in some scenarios and poorly in others (e.g. if by some means you're somehow certain the market will have a large dip and recovery but you don't know anything about the timing then dollar cost averaging will outperform many alternatives). Applying a rule of thumb as simple as "for long term investments in stable assets" misses enough nuance to lead people astray.

Timnit responded with an email requiring that a number of conditions be met in order for her to continue working at Google, including revealing the identities of every person who Megan and I had spoken to and consulted as part of the review of the paper and the exact feedback. Timnit wrote that if we didn’t meet these demands, she would leave Google and work on an end date. We accept and respect her decision to resign from Google.

I would say that describes a conditional resignation, and the fact that she called this “being fired” indicates she didn’t really plan to resign (ie. she was bluffing).

You can 10x the world gold supply by capturing a single medium-sized metallic asteroid.

> Isn’t solving protein folding np-complete?

I'm not an expert on protein folding, but if you refer to this paper [1], it only claims that one particular optimization problem, believed to give a solution to protein folding problems, is NP-hard. So it is not proven that protein folding is hard (in terms of computational complexity theory), although it does seem likely.

> How did this new algo get past that?

This is a very frequent and legitimate question due to the widespread misconception that "large NP-hard problems cannot be solved". Maybe it does not help that the term "intractable" is often used as a synonym for "not in P", while that word has obvious connotations outside of complexity theory.

To the contrary, for some specific types of NP-hard problems, gigantic instances are routinely solved in a matter of minutes. Prominent examples are knapsack problems, SAT problems [2], and the Traveling Salesman Problem [3] or more generally Mixed Integer Programming [4]. To give you some intuition: yes, the complexity still grows exponentially with the size of the problem, but if the constant factor is really tiny, we may still be able to tackle fairly large instances.

> Did it solve p=np too?

Definitely not. For that, again, we would need, some formal statement that protein folding as solved there is NP-hard (this seems feasible, but I don't know that it has been done). Then, more importantly, we would need a theoretical result showing that the proposed solution method is of polynomial-time complexity -- being able to solve individual instances "quickly" is nice but not entirely relevant to the theoretical complexity side of things.

Start of the Green Silk Road
I've read the SBCL manual before, several times. It's not suitable for learning Lisp; it's written for people who already know Lisp but need an implementation-specific question answered.

Let me illustrate:

Suppose I want to compile my lisp code into an executable for easy deployment. My first step is opening the SBCL manual and reading the entire section on the compiler. There's nothing in there about how to actually invoke the compiler. Maybe there's a command line option. Read section 3 and find the "saving a core image" section. It has lots of verbiage about saving state to disk so that you can restart the program in the same state.

But I don't want to restart in whatever garbled development state I'm currently in. I want the program to start in the initial state and progress normally, the way a program in just about any other language would naturally execute. I want execution to begin at the entry point (does Lisp even have "entry points"? There's another 5 hours of wasted time trying to figure that one out) and progress naturally like it does in literally any other language I can think of. By saving the current state how do I know I'm not introducing bugs due to some variable holding inadvertent state when I save-and-die?

Okay so now I'm down the rabbit hole of stackoverflow and personal websites from random PhD computer science students at Carnegie Mellon from 2001 and about now is when I usually get frustrated, say "fuck it", and move on to a language like C# that actually has good documentation with copious examples (not to mention a library for just about everything), has an execution model that's actually easy to understand, and move on with my life.

I say this as an aerospace engineer: I'm a smart guy but Lisp must be beyond my reach as a mere mortal without a computer science degree. I went through most of the Gigamonkeys book and while I can write a mean LOOP macro I can't actually do anything useful with lisp. The documentation is too confusing and too fragmented.

I want to like Lisp but it fights me every step of the way.

While most people don't get into trouble from using Cannabis, cocaine usage can wreck people's life. Unfortunately I have had to witness this a couple of times in my circle of friends.

Cocaine is an extract from the coca plant. Historically, Indigenous peoples chewed the leaves to get moderately high and also used it for medicinal purposes. The coca plant does good things for the lungs and gut. Among other things, it was used to help them be productive at altitude due to its impact on lung function.

What most of the modern world knows as "cocaine" is a highly concentrated form of what is found in the coca plant. A little googling suggests that when you similarly concentrate THC, you start seeing similar problems:

THC concentrates stimulate the same areas within the brain which heroin, cocaine and alcohol reaches. The effects of standard marijuana vary from those related to using THC concentrates.

While this may seem like no big deal, using THC concentrates can produce additional physical and psychological effects. According to the NIH

These include:

• Paranoia • Delirium • Anxiety • Panic/Fear • Delusions/ Hallucinations • Increase in blood pressure • Blood shot eyes • Weight gain • Lung and/or throat infections

In addition to the above, there is new evidence which shows that people who have a history of schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, bipolar disorder or psychosis may be at a greater risk of experiencing a breakdown or mental health episode.

This is a unique situation though. Intel is now years behind in their process nodes. Ryzen right now is already significantly better than any Intel CPU. M1 has been released which trounces all of those and PC manufacturers now have to compete with Apple in a way that they haven't really before. I don't remember Apple ever being this competitive in performance and they're going to take the lead once the Macbook Pros are released. The only way for manufacturers to keep up is a top-to-bottom switch to Ryzen.

So I do think we're going to see a big shift towards Ryzen, since I'm not sure how Intel could possibly entice manufacturers to stick with them when they haven't been able to deliver in years.
It’s less than what an American worker of the same skill level would get because their ability to negotiate is way reduced.

Some companies do care about costs. FB cares more about the second part.

And knowing that someone is getting $500k is an outlier given that more senior engineers would likely not be on H1-B at that point in their career because they’d have a green card by then. So your anecdote doesn’t apply to the majority of cases I’m talking about which is at entry or mid level.
Yes, and their SoCs will be as average as Cortex reference implementation can be. They won't be able to make M1-like SoC.
> I get that, but I would have thought it would make more sense to approach TimescaleDB for a licensing deal. That way, right from day one they get a mature product with incredible features and performance. And they'd win developer mindshare by supporting OSS.

In their mind, long term, that leaves money on the table. If they entered a licensing deal, they would have exposure risk if they ever wanted to replace it with an in-house product (and, given their corporate culture, an actual legal exposure, intentional or not, is a possibility).

I live a double life: Apple for laptops and Linux for desktops (and I'm mostly a Desktop user who manages a lot of Linux servers).

Both platforms have their pluses and minuses. I like to carry ideas between them for my development and environments. Found this extremely fruitful for me over the years.

We ordered a bunch of M1 airs for portability and power efficiency. Will see how it goes.

I personally love both Linux and Apple for laptops but, for the out of the box experience and reliability, Apple is more polished due to integration. My EliteBook has no problems with Linux so far but, when a flawlessly running driver degrades after an update (cough, intel e1000e, cough), it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. OTOH, I'm firstly a Linux guy who prefers and writes GPL software.

Of course YMMV.
That's a completely reasonable challenge, and I might be wrong. My very amateur speculation is that, in the mobile space, Apple got incrementally better over time. Rank-and-file Android users didn't really notice the performance gap and thus didn't demand faster chips. M1 changed expectations for the laptop market virtually overnight, and rank-and-file users will expect M1 performance, battery life, etc. I think this represents an enormous market opportunity for PC manufacturers and thus chip suppliers that didn't really exist circa A9.

My key assumption is that there's some pareto principle at play--80% of the M1's performance gains over the next best generic ARM chip are due to a handful of key innovations while the remaining 20% come from a long tail of incremental improvements. This would mean that generic manufacturers could copy those handful of key innovations (modulo IP rights, which might be another fatal flaw in my speculation) and recoup 80% of that performance gap in just a few years. If that assumption is bad and the performance is entirely an accumulation of lots of minor innovations over time, then I suspect it will take chip manufacturers quite a lot longer to catch up.

This Gruber character is something else. No, the rules of physics and heat generation have not been repealed.

They hire H1Bs because it's much harder to change jobs with the visa. In an industry that otherwise has high turnover, even for people in the > $500k range, this gives the companies leverage over workers that they wouldn't otherwise have.

"fluff" padding is much worse than "can we get an extra season or three out of this show", IMO.

[ EDIT: d'oh, I meant to write this in reverse, as "fluff padding is much less bad than .... oh well. ]

I prefer stories to be told that already have a beginning, middle and end at their outset, not just some fingers-crossed "we might get 5 seasons, we can decide how it unfolds once we get to season 3" stuff that has dominated way too much TV.

Granted, the purely episodic shows (e.g. Star Trek, LA Law and the like) are immune to this, mostly.

But give me more True Detective, where the story ending is known before they even start filming, and the only question is "do we get to try another story?"

> As a counter example there are plenty of countries where alcohol has been prohibited for a much longer time and they certainly have a lot less people with alcohol problems than the US.

If you are referring to the Muslim world, countries like Mauritania or Saudi Arabia with draconian alcohol prohibition nevertheless see a lot of men excessively drinking in private. Alcohol is available clandestinely, though the prohibition on openly importing or distilling it means that sometimes drinkers have to resort to homemade liquor. The sad thing is that the total prohibition on alcohol makes it hard for alcoholics to seek treatment, lest they be subject to criminal punishment.
