> Firestorm Cores use less than 4 watts each.

This is just not true. A mini going from idle to a full single-core load is a power increase of 6W. A heavy multicore load hits over 25W.

> A 16 firestorm core Mx will produce roughly the same multicore performance as your TR

With what fantasy math? 30% faster single core performance would be 16 * 1.3 = ~21 equivalent TR cores. It'd be less than half the performance of a 64 core ThreadRipper.

> And a $65 M1 dusts a 4800h that costs over 4x as much and using 1/3 the power

M1's single-core performance is very strong. But not enough to overcome a ~2x or greater core deficit, either, not at all.

My understanding has always been interest rates. Interest rates on savings accounts are supposed to be slightly lower than interest rates on loans with the bank taking a profit in the middle.

Home loans used to be much higher, in the 10-15% range and you could get 6-7% on your savings account.

With home loans in the 2-3% range, those margins aren't feasible anymore.

But that's probably an old understanding. I'm sure there's a lot more financial wizardry to it now.
I find your reasoning very thorough, succinct, and easy to follow. Thank you for expanding. I am interested in what you have explored, for yourself, to replace the old world values with exclusively intrinsic values?

As an aside, the mindset you describe, of only focusing on that which one can control, is referred to in psychology as having an Internal Locus of Control vs an External Locus of Control.

Bit of an aside, but as a new entrepreneur selling physical products (https://narwallmask.com) I've been surprised by how much time I spend banking.

Moving money around is way more of a headache than I would have anticipated. And that's before you even get into questions of working capital etc.

I would take a class like the Dale Carnegie sales class. Really excellent fr enterprise sales, but when I took it the students included two guys opening a T shirt stand on Cape Cod (sales cycle less than 2 minutes) and a saleswoman from KLA-Tencor (sales cycle between 18 and 36 months), a salesperson for ADT, etc. One of the most useful courses I've ever taken.

And for enterprise sales there's a whole vocabulary and model to learn: your coach, understanding who has the signoff, when you're talking to someone who will waste your time -- and when someone who seems insignificant but is actually the decision maker, how to structure the deals. And how to hire, manage, and incent (mostly but not exclusively financially) them.

From this paper published in "Nature": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2509-0.epdf

Interestingly enough seems to be Clovis culture evidence. Clovis culture artifacts have been found in modern day USA as well.

The evidence is striking because your current college prehistory textbook is claiming with high confidence that Homo sapiens had never set foot on the Americas before 15,000 BC.
Oh don't get me wrong, there is a time and a place for everything. There are many things that should be in the database, and there are a lot of people that avoid it because they don't want to learn SQL. You can have really good reasons and elegant code in SQL. I'm merely saying when someone immediately says, "that's dumb, you shouldn't do that," they aren't looking at the whole picture possibly and it was the choice that got the programming running which is important.
They're owned by Securitas today, the Swedish security guard company. Which makes the decision to continue using "Pinkerton" as a _brand name_ even more of an intimidation tactic, IMO. And I think it ultimately results in demonstrating how committed Bezos is to fighting this.
TripAdvisor had a very strong “no lock in” policy that impacted the technical stacks we could keep/choose when we got bought by them.

We could use an nginx installed and maintained on EC2 by ourselves but not the AWS flavor on it, or I guess we’d have needed to fight to get an exception.

That’s just an anecdote, but I am sure more companies put real money behind getting “locked in”.
The tone of her replies is regrettable:

Yann: “ML systems are biased when data is biased"

Timnit: “I’m sick of this framing. Tired of it. Many people have tried to explain, many scholars. Listen to us. You can’t just reduce harms caused by ML to dataset bias. Even amidst of world wide protests people don’t hear our voices and try to learn from us, they assume they’re experts in everything. Let us lead her and you follow. Just listen. And learn from scholars like @ruha9 [Ruha Benjamin, Associate Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University]"

I don't like engaging this kind of discussion but have to call out the "I'm so tired" bit every time I see it.
*with the caveat that those very few areas also hold a large percentage of the population, since land prices are correlated with population density and zoning regulations (i.e. see Hong Kong for ex.)

One thing to not forget is the amount of leverage provided for you in the housing market is disproportionate compared to the leverage you would get in stocks (20% down is 5x leverage, and there are some options to get in on a house with even less than that).

If you look at the real rate of return on everything (paper from 2017, analyzing the period between 1870 and 2015 in several developed countries), they claim the return on property is around 8% per year, which is comparable to stocks but with a lower variance.

A caveat though is that housing outperformed equity slightly 1870-1950, and equity has outperformed 1950-today. Housing is also a very locale-specific thing, since there is no global private 'housing' market you can invest in.

thats because they all got their reputations sullied when their projects last decade tanked in price 99%

Crypto communities do not understand the concept of secession in an organization, and believe that if you earned revenue then the runway should last forever and you should be married to the project forever

It doesnt matter, the same people are launching projects now under different aliases. The market doesnt actually care. There is no way to discern between a project that will screw you over versus one that wont, versus one that will rally 5,000% because that has no correlation to legitimacy or any gatekeeping of checkboxes
But legitimising the work internally wouldn't mean they could legally export it. Criminals would still need to smuggle it to where it is illegal, which is where I'd expect most of the market is.
> The primary issue I have seen with stored procedures is how you update them. I would be curious how they manage that.

1. You put your stored procedures in git.

2. You write tests for your stored procedures and have them run as part of your CI.

3. You put your stored procedures in separate schema(s) and deploy them by dropping and recreating the schema(s). You never log into the server and change things by hand.
That's not the impression I get.

First, for this to be a valid case of HR protecting someone who needs protecting, these complaints would have to come from someone who Gebru was managing and therefore have leverage on. I don't know the specifics, but it would stand to reason that she did manage some people, so that possibility can't be excluded for sure.

But from the last paragraph it seems that she did actually try to address the points raised:

> You write a detailed document discussing whatever pieces of feedback you can find, asking for questions and clarifications, and it is completely ignored.

I wasn't there, but simply not addressing counter points doesn't fare well in the public's (read: my) eyes.

You point to efficiency, but to achieve that efficiency, people were driven off of land that their families had lived on for millennia in order to create a class of people that were desperate enough to risk their lives and limbs, and their children's lives and limbs, in dangerous factories for wages they couldn't sustain themselves with.

Millions of people went from self-sufficiency to being desperately poor and without homes because their land was privatized by governments that were in cahoots with industrialists.
Of course they do. I'm not saying there's no prior precedent for the United States to bully other countries.

What I'm saying is that at this moment, the US is highly distracted by internal problems, and is much less likely to respond than it would normally be.
Its not a signal at all.

Thats the entire rebuttal. Your premise is flawed.
Buying Bitcoin is becoming similar to buying gold. It’s a Store of Value. Why is gold an investment? Because it’s scarce and we have, as a society, decided it’s an investment. There may be nuances here, but that’s the basic idea. Bitcoin is digital gold. Most other tokens are similar buying fiat currencies which can help if you local fiat currency is hyper-inflating. But then some tokens give access to de-fi which a whole other rabbit hole.

> Fees directly from the merchant card issuers (Visa, Mastercard, etc) are sometimes lower (ranging from 1.4% - 2.6%, and even 3.5% for AmEx) but Stripe is a service that is on top of those fees , and any merchant will add on top of those fees as well.

The way it works for "the networks" (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) is that they have several "interchange rates" ( https://www.helcim.com/us/pricing/visa-interchange-rates/ ) which vary depending on the risk of the card [transaction].

"Flat fee" card payment providers win by setting an average flat-fee that they believe will be higher than the mixed (average) interchange range of the payers. Also, lower card rates can be obtained capturing what is called "level 2" or "level 3" data ( https://www08.wellsfargomedia.com/assets/pdf/small-business/... ).
Sure some of them have, but their foundational democratic and working class structure makes it possible for them to have a progressive effect on society. By contrast, the corporations that they are in conflict with supported the Nazis and planned a coup against FDR because their foundational interests in a regimented, nationalist, power hungry, and elitist society were aligned.

1. Union busting since the New Deal era resulted in one of the most oppressed working classes in the world. Hence, low union enrollment.

2. FDR saved capitalism. I'm not his biggest fan. I'm a socialist.

3. Serious money was offered during the business plot. It didn't come to fruition, but the danger was real. Corporations are the real power in America.

Yes. Deli counter people are notorious for interrupting you while you have your nose buried in your phone. And then you have to actually talk to them. It's a big deal.

That you take Bitcoin Cash as an example of a non-reputable cryptocurrency is pretty sad. (And it's #5 not #7.)

Ripple is for instance not a cryptocurrency, and everyone knows about the scam that is Tether.

Litecoin has zero development (except to copy what Bitcoin is doing) and the development in Bitcoin itself has some serious issues.

I generally agree (and I don't think such people typically go on to be superstars). But, I did work for one such person- Daphne Koller- who did the "early college" thing. She is every bit the genius.
A lot of "experts" are marketeers or work in the industry and have financial ambitions.

There is a technically correct argument that a locked down environment hinders the execution of malicious code, but for overall security, especially privacy and illegal data access, the current "security" solutions for smartphones perform very badly.
Hi Tara, congratulations on the launch!

Do you intend to allow Treasury to be used to build new bank storefronts? For example, could someone build a slick mobile app and website and use Treasury to launch a B2B "bank", complete with FDIC insurance? Would it be acceptable to launch an offering like mercury.com entirely powered by Treasury?

Or is the intent to only allow Treasury as an adjunct to a "real" business?

Thanks!

Really nicely done beta page, and the product is something that's needed to exist for a long time now.

I remember talking with the RethinkDB guys before they closed and being worried they were making a bad decision not getting a cloud service in place earlier, so good on doing that.

I have two points of feedback:

1. How open source is it? I didn't get a great feel from the beta page, but will you make it as easy as setting up a docker container or helm chart? I'd suggest that if you want to align incentives as best as possible, consider one of those new-fangled OSS licenses that has the most recent updates closed-source, then auto-open sourcing after a time period. That way you can give away a really nice, well-packaged version for free, not worry about Amazon, and still capture a big chunk of revenue from bigger clients who need the newest.

2. What are your plans/thoughts on denormalization [0]? Liron is a friend of mine and we've had interesting discussions on this since way back, I'd encourage you all to reach out to him, and consider it strongly. The "holy grail" for many years now has been obvious: a subscribable DB engine that handles denormalization. I hope you guys achieve it.

Good luck!

> Why do you think people need credentials to create a startup if they have a good idea?

They don't. But good credentials are a signal in a crowded field where most projects are just whitepapers.

They might not matter in the startup world where you usually launch with at least an MVP. But in the crypto world, most new coins are just whitepapers. You at least need to know that the founders have the technical knowhow to bring the whitepaper to life.
Resale value absolutely has a lot to do with the better chip performance. You can't sell a dog-slow phone.
This seems a little like arguing that I know several people who died in car accidents, and none in spaceships. One of these is much more dangerous, but almost everyone I know drives places, and has a drink or two, every week.

Maybe that's too strong, I'm not really sure how much more dangerous cocaine is. But even if it were somehow comparable, maybe we should be scared by what the arrival of alcohol did to peoples who hadn't had much of it -- this was true of many native american groups, IIRC. And many others worldwide.

We're planning on turning the internet of shit into a secure platform with myriad uses, whether that's monitors at the bottom of the sea, or in your GHD hair straighteners, or anything you can thing of that needs secure mobile connectivity.

And we're onboarding iSIM customers too. Physical SIM cards and slots will soon be a thing of the past. Visiting a new country? Scan a QR code and your device is subscribed to a local MNO/MVNO.

No more fiddling with paper clips trying to get the SIM drawer open and losing SIMs, and eventually this eSIM will be built into the board of the device, and finally it will be integrated into the SoC itself and take up fractions of millimetres.
This is what I see and hear from web developers all the time. It sounds terrible.

As a graphics programmer I feel things have moved very far in the right direction within the last ten years.

I used to write generic computations disguised as pixel rendering without any decent tools for diagnostics or profiling.

Now I can just use a compute shader and if I want to debug or profile it there are so many great alternatives.

I recently re-implemented a particle simulation I first wrote in 2011. Without access to the pervious code.

The first time around it took me months. Now it took me days. Sure, I've learned a lot since, but a lot of the speedup was just from better language and tool support for what I wanted to do.
