> The reason meritocracies work so well, is not because they are fair, but because they produce peak performance.

This is short-sighted. It optimizes for the "local maximum", the "today's maximum".

Yes, if today you don't choose the best candidate based purely on their results, you are technically losing, because you could do better. But here's the thing, if you choose a candidate that is not the best, but that can have a more meaningful impact in the long term, you are optimizing for the future.

For example, candidates who are coming from underrepresented groups can have a huge impact on kids who will find it easier to believe they can repeat such success, because someone who looks like them did it. That can unlock a huge pool of candidates who can outperform others in the future, but who would not be available if we didn't choose the n-th best candidate instead of the best one in the first place.

I mean, being secretive about employee compensation in order to extract the most work for the least cost is exploitative and immoral. It's just something that everyone does, so somehow that makes it okay.
sorry that my phrasing “carry the habit forward” was heard as a negative. that’s not my intent, i view habits as morally neutral. i workout every other day and consider it a habit i carry.

i would’ve used a term like “continue the addiction” to emphasize my disagreement with that action. i appreciate the insight and will work on clarification in the future.

Wait, who said they work well? Does he mean, for the people receiving the benefit? An aristocracy works well for the aristocrats, that's for sure.
I agree with you overall, but the internet never been more geofenced than what we see today. Tons of content is no longer available to me as I live in the EU and apparently american companies care so much about my privacy that I can no longer access their websites. Growing up in the 90s, I remember a internet that was without geographical limitations and people doing things for love of that thing, not the perversion we see today...
Well that is a truly cynical perspective on life and marriage.

The 888 (the first qualcomm chip on the same 5nm process) has approximately equivalent performance (91%) to the Apple A14 in multicore benchmarks, and 71% of the single-thread geekbench 5 score. source: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16325/qualcomm-discloses-snap...

If you look a few years ago, a similar comparison would be the snapdragon 820 vs. Apples A9 (both on samsung's 14nm process, though apple was dual sourcing with TSMC 16nm). Then, the iphone 6s plus scored 535, and the oneplus 3 (using the 820) scores 306 - i.e. 57% of apples performance. On multicore it achieved 77% of the performance (also a larger difference than today).

Qualcomm has been catching up lately on single-thread and multithread perf, just not very quickly (i mean at this rate it'll be well over a decade before they're equal in single thread perf...).

Sources: https://browser.geekbench.com/android-benchmarks and https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks, search for oneplus 3 and iphone 6s plus.

Yup. At the last place I worked me and a colleague would joke that given the traffic our ecommerce platform actually had, we should be able to run the whole thing on a single Raspberry PI. I think he even ran some numbers on it. What we actually had was two containerized app servers and a separate large RDS instance and SES, SQS, SNS, ELB and all the other bits and pieces AWS buy in gets you. The cloud bills for the traffic we handled were ridiculous.

A rather vague post.

> meritocracies work so well … because they produce peak performance

Does the author have any evidence for this? Supposing that this is true, does meritocracy continue to produce optimal performance in the long run? Is the author talking about meritocracy in theory, or meritocracy as practiced? What exactly does the author think should be decided through meritocracy? (College acceptance? Hiring decisions?) Does the author have any concrete recommendations, for any domain?

There's a typo, I believe it means to say that the industry is $50 billion, as the video game industry does roughly $150 billion in business a year (which is crazy, as it was only $65 billion when I was in school in the 2000s).
Nobody is selling high performance ARM chips. Apple isn't selling their chips. ARM from others have been optimized for micro controllers, phones, servers and super computers. Not for high performance desktop system of game consoles.

If you wanted a high performance alternative to x86 in the past, you would have to go with PowerPC, which Playstation famously did with Playstation 3. Except that was a disaster because the architecture was too novel.

That experience made Sony, very afraid of doing anything unconventional hardware wise.

But I supposed Apple may have opened the flood gates and my prediction would be that next generation Playstation will be ARM based.
I've been working with serverless projects for about 2 years now and I'd agree a lot of these gripes are valid. The slow feedback loop is the most painful. Building new features in serverless apps is going to almost always require multiple pushes in order to get what you want. It's very challenging to get it "right" the first time.

The hardest lesson I ever learned (the hard way!) was that meritocracy doesn't work in practice.

At some point in time, some people accumulate more credit/reputation for their work, and can use that to earn more credit more quickly. This then snowballs as these people pull ahead of others out of proportion to their actual contributions.

This makes a Meritocracy an unstable equilibrium, and such a system will not remain meritocratic for long. When other parties come along later, they won't be able to displace the incumbents.

You might then be tempted to cut off the long tail and hand over the community to the incumbents. But that's really going to be a problem if more than half your work is being done in that long tail!

Importantly; if you do hand over to the incumbents, you've very obviously just changed into something other-than-meritocracy.

My argument is that all systems that start as a (naive) Meritocracy will tend to fall into this trap.

The fundamental issue in meritocracies is that we only measure a small part of the merit that needs measuring. I once got in an argument with a manager that we should measure best coders on the team by lines of code generated - is that merit?

To extend the analogy in the piece, if the only way a football team measured “best” was for “yards passed” that’d be a pretty bad team on the field. They measure by position to figure out what’s right - and techniques like those made famous by SaberMetrics/Moneyball show even THAT is not all - you REALLY need to measure by team performance and team goals.

Teams that are diverse deliver materially better returns[1]; if that’s “merit” then that’s a way to optimize for that. The problem with this article and meritocracies is not diving deeper in what you should measure.

"Everything in life is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power."

I think the debate is not really about porn, but people's sense of justice, cheating, deserving things or not etc.

Some feel like porn gives unearned satisfaction to young men, a virtual substitute they don't have to work for. The bitter other side will say, no shit, I won't slave away to get screwed over, it's much more straightforward business to consume porn.

A wife may feel cheated and less desired, and therefore feel like they are less necessary, a "resource" they provide is devalued.

Puritans may feel like so much sexuality and hedonism tries to cheat and get the benefits, while not suffering consequences, like pregnancy, adult responsibility of family life etc. That it hollows out the sanctity of this intimate and symbolic act.

Others may feel camgirls are collecting undeserved money, they don't do actual noble valuable work, just cash in based on their genetics and immorality.

It all comes down to a feeling that people get things they don't deserve.

It's about feelings that the young man should work his ass off to obtain status than satisfy himself with porn. The female performer should rather hold on to her sexual value and motivate men to work to get it and then only give it out when also taking on the responsibility of childbirth.

And therefore it's not likely that the debate will get "resolved", because it's not about some objective disagreement but about who deserves what. It's more metaphysical and depends on one's fundamental worldview and framework of justice.
It's a tad conspiratorial, but I suspect there was a concerted effort by media to muddy down the impacts of future watergate-level scandals by highlighting a lot of minor "gates". Already I feel tempted to roll my eyes each time I see another HN post about X-gate, seeing many "weaker" stories using the same nomenclature certainly steals power away from the stories that hit hard.

Night blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum), which is not really a jasmine at all but a nightshade like tomatoes and eggplants. Succlants also continue into the night unlike most day only foiliage based photosynthetic plants.

Plants are incredibly intelligent, diverse and have had way more time to adapt to just about every condition imaginable in their nearly billion year History (~500 million years but keeps getting pushed further back). So, its not surprise to see these observations.
I'm not convinced that enforcement particularly matters. When the government advises people to stay at home, most people modify their behaviour.

Fining people could arguably create a higher risk, as people would feel they had permission to break the ban if they accept a low risk of being caught and fined, and enforcement would involve more interaction between strangers.
OnlyFans seems to have disrupted the porn industry in an ethical way I think. Profit obviously isn't always closely aligned with ethics, but being ethical is usually a good idea all other things being equal. People are more likely to support your company if they think you behave ethically (it helps if they believe in your mission), and if you have a history of acting honestly you can maybe derive gains from the fact that your customers may trust you more.

Sure, having a laptop in that case is unavoidable, but you won't _require_ 10 hours of battery life either.

In the long term I don't think laptops are exactly the right answer for portability. I think the ideal would be that when we get up from our desks, all of our running programs (even the whole OS) would migrate to our phones. As soon as we open our laptop, they would all migrate there.

Our academic group adopted it because it allows us to be both incredibly productive and have performant code, and both python and Go programmers were able to get up to speed quickly.

With respect to being ahead of its time, there are many features that have been in D for years slowly making their way to other languages, including C++. In that respect it is successful, but certainly I would like it to be successful on its own.

That was the style of recipes until the Fanny Farmer cookbook in 1896:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boston_Cooking-School_Cook...

They basically assumed you had already watched the recipe being made, and just needed a reminder. (Chefs still communicate a lot like this with each other.) My favorite recipe direction ever, from Martha Washington's family cookbook, is "cook until it is enough".

Fanny Farmer invented the idea of rigorous measurements. And later, exact temperatures and times, when thermostats were invented. Scientific cooking is great for getting the results to come out every time and to communicate recipes to people who don't already basically know them. That took a lot of standardization and didn't come about until quite recently.

That's not a comment on whether the regulations are good or bad. It's just that, as a business, if you're not a profitable customer or potential customer, I don't want to interact with you if you create any risk/cost for me.

This feminist take was definitely uncalled for in this article. The author's bias about how the women, _who are actually getting monetarily compensated_, are the victims completely misses the costs to the purchasers, who are almost all men, in terms of their money and the neurologic changes that such sex work consumption has. Having the "algorithm" suggesting and enticing these men back to buy more subscriptions / pics or however it works on these things is just as much a negative side effect as the women experience in social stigma.
