I think that the amount of money is more of a secondary point here. You're shackled to somebody else's schedule, whims, priorities, etc. until you have the money to not do that anymore. That doesn't necessarily mean 2.5m liquid though.

How much would you need to work if you bought a small-ish house, lived on a very strict budget, and generally kept expenditure to a minimum? There are places in the US where you can buy a house on a bit of land for just over $100k (ex: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/904-Grant-St-Tupelo-MS-38...). What could you do with half an acre of land, a paid off house, and minimal day-to-day obligations? Imagine: work for an hour or two per day so that you have money to buy food, pay power/electric, etc., then idk... read? write that book you've always thought about writing? get in shape? start a garden? go fishing? There are so many possibilities.

I recognize that moving across the country, having the money to pay off a $120k house, etc. is an enormous privilege for some people and I'm certainly not asserting that it's an opportunity that anyone could take advantage of. Only pointing out that the bar for FU money might be lower than you might think.
> we work for lower wages and have a TINY amount of the wealth in comparison to older generations

Not to detract from the point about student debt, which is absolutely on point, but isn't it expected than younger people would always hold less wealth and have lower salaries on average than older people who have been working for decades longer and have that much more work experience?
>Google - In-House Opportunity - TPU chip, Custom ARM chip for phone

Google will put their custom chip on their Chromebooks for sure, there were couple of Chromebooks already with some weird SoC earlier which was supposedly purpose built for Chromebooks, couldn't remember the name I think it was from Spreadtrum.
This is word salad.

DeepMind is taking advantage of NIH's funding.
For example, Anfinsen who demonstrated that proteins fold spontaneously and reproducibly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anfinsen%27s_dogma) ran a lab at NIH. Levinthal (who postulated an early and easily refutable model of protein folding) was funded by NIH for decades. Most of the competitors at CASP are supported by NIH and its investments have contributed to the modern results significantly.

That said I think the academic and pharma communities had engineered themselves into a corner and weren't going to see huge gains (even thogh they are exploring similar ideas) for a number of banal reasons.
This is good, but I wonder how effective it would be when you consider how badly the GDPR is being enforced.
> Energy use in equilibrium is proportional to the value of the block rewards plus transaction rewards.

Good point, you're right, I was forgetting this.

> since the value of each unit would have to increase to satisfy the demand.

I didn't follow this though, what do you mean?

> In a world where Bitcoin replaces gold or visa

It doesn't seem very meaningful to me to talk about energy usage in this world because Bitcoin can't replace visa. To replace visa we would have to make enough changes to it that I don't have much of an idea of what the energy usage of the modified system will look like.

Though let's consider Nervos' NC-Max, which gets a lot closer to replacing visa than an unmodified Bitcoin can. It works by, effectively, massively increasing the block size limit. In a NC-Max world energy usage would still be proportional to the coinbase but the coinbase might stay small because there's so much room in each block that transaction fees stay low.
> What part of async Rust is more complicated than synchronous Rust?

The Rust part, of course :) Seriously though, the compiler error messages alone make it a major pain - although I can't figure out if it's an issue of maturity (language and ecosystem), a fundamental tradeoff with Rust's borrow checker, or me just getting way ahead of myself.

I can rarely go a few days of async programming in Rust before running into some esoteric type or borrow checker issue that takes hours to solve because I borrowed some non Send/Sync value across an await point and the compiler decides to dump a hot mess in my lap with multi-page long type signatures (R2D2/Diesel, looking at you).

Yeah but Chicago pays for those things too, maybe even moreso. Are the SF pensions actually funded correctly?

Here's a portion of the write-up on https://siliconcfo.com/fractional-cfo/

Apart from peace-of-mind, Fractional CFOs can add value to a business in a wide variety of ways. Here are some primary examples of what we’ve seen at siliconCFO:

Fundraising connections. Many Fractional CFOs have large networks of angel investors, family firms, venture capital firms, private equity firms, and other investors. Don’t rule out the possibility of giving your Fractional CFO a key role in fundraising for your business!

Expense management. A classic example of CFO services is managing expenses across an organization and negotiating deals to lower costs.

An eye on cash flow and runway. Every CFO is responsible for keeping an eye on their firm’s cash flow and runway, making sure they have enough cash on hand to make payroll or invest appropriately.

Keep the books up to date and clean. This is undervalued by first-time founders, but most serial entrepreneurs understand how important this is and how much money it can cost you to not keep your books up to date and clean.

Best practices. Various firms come to siliconCFO in search for someone who can simply bring best practices with them and implement them at their quickly growing startup. This can include systems, procedures, values, and more.

Expert analysis and strategic planning. Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) is a key aspect of the CFO role, and Fractional CFOs are no exception. In fact, this might be the most critical aspect of a Fractional CFO’s role within an organization and can save your butt in countless situations.
How realistic are the various apps at simulating, say, a 1200-ranked human player?

I'd love at app that really plays at my skill level, but my experience with older software was that the computer "dumbed itself down" simply by playing completely silly moves at times. (Of course, I played silly moves as well, so maybe it was accurate... But it didn't feel that way.)
"So DeepMind is to the point where it's a question of whether their generated model or the experimentally determined structure is closest to the actual physical structure."

While this is an accomplishment, nobody is going to be confusing these models for structures produced experimentally. The CASP metric is for backbone atoms. To have a useful model of protein structure, you really need to have the positions of the protein side-chain atoms modeled correctly. Experimental methods will do that, but this method, as I understand it, does not.
That depends on where it biodegrades, how fast, the active lifespan and the number.

For instance the lumber in a building might stay in use for 100 years. Even if we aim for sustainability instead of our exponential growth pyramid schemes, every wooden structure ties up that carbon for its life span, after which another will be built. If the number of buildings we needs declines, we can plant more forests in the space we are no longer using.
Because married people throughout time are wealthier. Married people make more money, married millenials own 70% of all the houses millenials have bought, married people are half as likely to be in proverty. If you have to choose a way for people to get wealthy between a college degree and marriage marriage would be the better decision by far.
Running this test on my Linux desktop takes 9.9 GB of virtual memory (although very little is actually resident) and 42% of my CPU. So, it doesn't crash my computer, but this seems like it's way too much resource usage.
Great question, I have yet to discover the safety of the bike lanes spread around here but local cyclists I've talked to feel comfortable cycling on the semi-protected bike lanes on main roads here because they're so wide.

I admit, the fully protected bike lanes that have recently come up on Embarcadero with concrete barriers had me excited for my safety, until I had to deal with the grime and odd person jumping in the bike lane randomly (Generally mentally ill folks).

As far as biking infrastructure, if you ignore the other problems, SF has really stepped up its game, mostly due to the effort by the SF Cycling coalitions, I believe (And a number of cycling related deaths).

The top comment was talking about their hopes for a wayland that is stable in general across normal hardware, not just in specific cases, since they couldn't get it working on nvidia nor AMD GPUs.

You said it works on ChromeOS, but that's missing their point unless ChromeOS is stable in general across normal hardware. So I asked if it was.
Because Keepass uses GUIDs internally for most operations, merging the conflict files is usually trivial (use the Sync options in the Keepass UI of your choice from your main file, then you can safely delete the file marked as conflicting). (The GUIDs thing has also meant that I've had some success merging unrelated files too over the years, though that is probably less advisable.)
> why spend something now when you can spend less for the same thing later

That is nonsense. Sadly by repeating it enough people have started to actually believe it, and repeat it without looking at the evidence of the real world.

A cheap pair of jeans, adjusted for inflation was ~$150 in 1980. Now you can get one for $10. Did no one wore jeans for 40 years? Meat, it has never been so cheap IN HISTORY to buy meat, and if the trend continues, next year you could buy even more meat with the same money! (adjusting for inflation of course) Are you not gonna eat for a year?

That is not even talking about tech, were a cheap laptop 20 years ago adjusted for inflation was over $1000 and now is $300.

People prefer things now not later, that is why if you offer them $50 today instead of $100 in 10 $10 monthly payments most people pick the $50. The same thing happens when buying stuff. Sadly evidence is not as marketable as propaganda.

So as I said, nonsense.
I get a lot more done working from home. No need to get up and get dressed and drive to/from work. I roll out of bed, turn on the computer and start working. Frankly the company is getting a lot more work out of me.

Sometimes I'm stuck on a problem and I just need to get up and walk around and do something to clear my head. But, when I worked in the office I felt like I needed to always be seen either in a meeting or butt in chair. So I would often get stuck and just spin my wheels all day. Then I'd often figure out the solution in my head while walking to my car or driving home or sleeping on it. Now, working from home, I feel free to get up and walk around the block or go unload the dishwasher or whatever while my mind thinks about it. Again, the company gets much more useful work from me than they ever did when I worked in the office.
Okay, I might be misunderstanding you. What is your argument though? I can't find anywhere in this thread where you showed it's impossible for bitcoin to be more efficient on a per-txn basis.
Yes, the parent comment was about "lack of administrative rigor". The cheerful acceptance of that situation was the topic of my post.

There is no reason why someone can't support the welfare state and also demand efficiency. That demand represents an ideal; there will always be errors, but the insistence that all errors are unavoidable and that (as the parent suggested) we shouldn't even talk about them is extremely irritating. It provides the enemies of the welfare state with the best possible arguments ("you don't even care if the money is going to people who need it").
Really love your chess puzzles, I play Puzzle Rush most days! If you can share, how many puzzles do you add each month? Are they mostly hand-generated or do you have some nifty way of deriving puzzles from real games automagically? Would also be really cool if a puzzle rush spread out puzzle types more it feels like there is heavy clustering of a specific problem type at key rating ranges: early puzzles (1-6) are very commonly back-rank checkmates; 9-12 are discovered check, etc - it would be nicer if the problem meta-tags were not re-used a lot within a single run.
Automakers are hoarding the spectrum citing some pie in the sky safety stuff. Not a single car was ever shipped with that tech. I'd rather have my WiFi router running reliably rather than some promise ware hoarding it.
I vouched for your comment, since the linked article does bring up some good concerns and I see nothing wrong with your comment. The only one I dug into further was the connectivity check, which appears to have been resolved. I can't speak to any of the other issues that are raised in that article.

I meant, which specifics are you thinking of?

> Genetics is amenable because it is a sequence

Not sure what you mean by that. Genetics is a field of research. The genome is a sequence. And yes, that sequence can be modelled for various purposes but without a specific purpose there’s no point in doing so (and furthermore doing so without specific purpose is trivial — e.g. via markov chains or even simpler stochastic processes — but not informative).

> There are plenty of inferences that you would want to do on genetic sequences

I’m aware (I’m in the field). But, again, I was looking for specific examples where you’d expect ML to provide breakthroughs. Because so far, the reason why ML hasn’t provided many breakthroughs in less about the lack of research and more because it’s not as suitable here as for other hard questions. For instance, polygenic risk scores (arguably the current “hotness” in the general field of genetics) can already be calculated fairly precisely using GWAS, it just requires a ton of clinical data. GWAS arguably already uses ML but, more to the point, throwing more ML at the problem won’t lead to breakthroughs because the problem isn’t compute bound or vague, it’s purely limited by data availability.

I could imagine that ML can help improve spatial resolution of single-cell expression data (once again ML is already used here) but, again, I don’t think we’ll see improvements worthy of called breakthroughs, since we’re already fairly good.

Yeh and people are givin that for a college degree yet that is associated with wealth even though married highschool educated people out earn single college educated people.

Forget what the government does its generally easier to build wealth with two people than one. Theres more flexibility to prevent failure.
Just wanted to pop in and share a few fun facts about Deluxe Paint, Amiga and Monkey Island.

Electronic Arts originally made Deluxe Paint for the Amiga, along with the IFF (Interchange File Format) standard and ILBM (Interleaved Bitmap), an image format conforming to IFF.

They released the first version in 1985, for the Amiga 1000. The last version was version 5, in 1995, though I'm not sure how much EA was actually involved with that one.

The first Amiga version they released that could handle 256 colors came out in 1993, designed for the then new AGA graphics chipset. It became such a favorite that Psygnosis (after being bought by Sony) reportedly used Deluxe Paint on Amigas to create some of the graphics for Wipeout. I also know of other companies that used Amigas well into the early noughties for creating pixel graphics for mobile phones.

Avril Harrison is an artist whose "A.H." signature can been seen on many of the example pictures that were distributed along with Deluxe Paint, including her rendition of Botticelli's Venus and the iconic Tutankhamun gold mask[1].

LucasArts, however, seemed to be using PC:s exclusively. AFAIK, Monkey Island was ported to the Amiga by another company hired specifically for that task.

At the time when Monkey Island I and II were made the Amiga chipset didn't have support for 256 colors. The maximum was 32 colors, plus 32 darker shades of those colors, in a mode called EHB (Extra Half-brite). Monkey Island, just like most other Amiga games, was made to run in normal 32 color mode.

Avril Harrison later started working for LucasArts and it's claimed the original art depicting governor Elaine Marley[2] is based on her likeness.

Just to be clear, RIM was on top of the world when the iPhone came out, and, if they had been fast pivoting they might still be relevant in the world.
Married people are much more financially secure and thus capable of investing in the future. They can not only share expenses, but they amortize risks and can share trade-offs. This is borne out statistically (https://www.city-journal.org/html/why-marriage-good-you-1200...), but also is painfully obvious on inspection. If you’re going to start a business with someone, would you rather do it with a Partnership Agreement in place, or an unwritten “we’ll work together long as it’s convenient for both of us” understanding?

The presumption here is that we could have been vaccinating people en masse since sometime in spring. However, I do not believe large-scale production of an mRNA vaccine was possible at that time. This does not seem to be the case. My understanding is that manufacturing this type of vaccine is significantly different than other vaccines previously produced at scale (flu vaccine, etc.) so they needed to build out their factories almost from scratch, to the exacting standards required of medical facilities, which likely took many months.

To the best of my knowledge, vaccine makers have been producing the vaccine as quick as they can, planning for hopefully good results, but knowing they could just trash it in the case of bad results, and they only just now have tens of millions of doses.
Then you will then wait as everyone else. 4 to 6 weeks.

Ah yes, like how the federal government makes you pay taxes on the "value" of health insurance when you insure your common law partner but not when you're married ? Come on.

I wouldn’t trust any of those numbers.

>A culture that has generic values is in some ways meaningless.

That seems true the way you put it, but there are some cultures that are legitimately insane and awful. "Generic values," usually meaning a secular average of the ambient culture in the geographic locale of the office, can be a whole lot better than some other options. "Generic values," are actually quite distinct, for example they will be different between New York and Boise, or different between 2001, 2019, and 1974.
