I have long felt this way about movies, books, and music. I don’t have data to back it up, but it feels like there was a lot more quality, middle-budget content in the arts a few decades ago, vs. recent years in which everything seems to be a blockbuster or a flop. People dream of striking it rich, not of making a respectable living. It’s like startup culture has infiltrated nearly everything; if it’s not going to make you a billionaire, it’s not worth spending time on.

Some recent exceptions that make me feel hope for the middle class of the arts: Etsy, Netflix & Hulu, the world of podcasting. In all three of these places you can see people trying out ideas and making a living. It’s true that the businesses themselves – Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Amazon, etc. – are decidedly not middle class, the content creators on their platforms seem to be. (I can’t think of equivalents in books or music... SoundCloud? I got nothing for books.)

I did indeed read that, but it has nothing real to say about it. Instead it says this:

> Apple uses memory which serves both large chunks of data and serves it fast. In computer speak that is called low latency and high throughput. Thus the need to be connected to separate types of memory is removed.

That is just hand waving. It is possible to produce such memory, but it involves ultra wide busses, far wider than optimal for filling CPU caches, and preferably directly connected to the GPU rather than a multi-master bus or switch.

There is the possibility that Apple has built a very fancy memory interposer that leverages the short distances in the SOC to present the memory both wide (to GPU) and narrow (for filling a queue of L2 misses), so that cache fills pause while GPUs read/write. That would be a highly interesting piece of logic. But of course it can't scale outside of the SOC.

I think it’s worth noting that popularity isn’t always deterministic or meritocratic.

I once read about an experiment where users would listen to music and and the platform counted the number of listens and showed users. When the experiment was rerun, a different set of songs from the first experiment were popular. I believe I read this in Invisible Influence by Jonah Berger.

The point is that most content platforms select for content that is sufficiently good (or clickable) but not necessarily the best.

Yes. But Apple has the neural accelerators which are a waste of transistors for most workloads, and Intel has a bunch of chips without AVX512.

So that does not fit the GPs claim that the M1 is fast because Apple does vertical integration and others have to support many systems.

How I Upgrade Ruby on Rails
TBH I probably find myself spending about an hour+ a day just thinking. I'm not sure that that, in the isolated pandemic situation we are in now, is the best thing for Mental Health or celebratory. It depends on the person. If you've been talking to people all day, an hour+ just thinking to yourself can obviously be excellent and useful and allow you to process stuff. But if you're lonely, you're not going to be wanting to do that: thoughts will often be unhelpful or negative and you would almost literally be better off not thinking them.

When I was happier pre-pandemic, thinking to myself would be great. When I was 17 doing my first philosophy classes my head would just be abuzz with questions, e.g I'd be in a corner store and be almost stuck there for 5m thinking about what Plato/Aristotle would think about me buying a bar of chocolate that I didn't necessarily need.

Not to digress, but I imagine further that it's dependent on your occupation and life. If you're doing menial 9-5 stuff, you're obviously not going to be thinking heavily about job related stuff and will be too tired to consider questions. If you've just started a start-up however, your mind will continuously be abuzz (hopefully) thinking about what you're gonna do etc etc.

Yep. They burn the longest, but they don't burn cleanly. They "sputter", unleashing huge flares that can erode atmospheres, and their luminosities can fluctuate randomly. Imagine if the Earth was plunged into a 13-year-long superwinter because the Sun decided to be a bit less bright for a while.

I never said it was the only barrier, but it is far and away the primary barrier. Google was laying fiber in many cities but the regulatory burden was quite stifling.

As far as justification, it goes the other way around. If you want to interfere in the free market, you need to provide good justification that this problem is not being created by the regulatory environment already. 99.9% of the time, it is.
We were definitely doing it wrong at my last job. We had 200+ lambda functions (a lot of redundant lambdas that were breaking DRY rules). Each function was terraformed and there was no way to provision the AWS resources to run the lambdas locally. So whenever I made a lambda, I wrote all of my code locally without testing and then had to push it up to delpoy. Then I could run it and debug in the console. Nightmare. It was even worse with batch.

Precisely. The culture of our main groups is what drives the loud voices. In the end, American culture is useless for solving these kind of problems, at least for the time being.

There are people who buy into politics but not culture though (eg: it is possible for one to be politically liberal but then be more culturally free rather than culturally constrained). These people, in the sense of sex work and the porn industry may be able to produce viable solutions and products, but they'd constantly be on the defensive against both political cultures.
That's my guess. I get a discount, they get to share my internet with others. On my block that's not really going to effect me.

He didn't claim it was the only barrier to entry.

To extend his point, "red tape" isn't the only regulation-related problem. Don't forget that in many local governments gave monopoly grants to select ISPs. Then there's the "bootleggers and baptists" [1] effect, where well-meaning regulation has a larger anti-competitive effect benefiting extant firms, e.g., requiring would-be ISPs to also serve cost-prohibitive rural areas.

Pretending that extant government regulation is the never the problem is just as bad as pretending it's the only problem.

The health care system is built with capacity to handle obesity and smoking related illnesses. It is not built with the capacity to handle covid on top of that.

Additionally, a pandemic and the measures to stop it is a temporary situation. If we could end obesity, opiod abuse, or car crashes by making drastic societal changes that only lasted for a couple months, I'd argue that we should do that. The equivalent actions to stop other high-mortality trends would be permanent changes to society.

Yup, I have HA setup with Unifi integration and it works perfectly for detecting if wifi clients. It gets alerted immediately upon connection (so I don't think it's polling the controller), and they get marked as away exactly 2 minutes after wifi disconnect.

The OS don't need that much grunt, some drivers maybe - hence one or two cores, isolated away from user software and secure.

Scheduler wise it would become easier as no juggling cycles upon main core that the OS is running upon. Whilst not hitting real-time OS levels, it would be a nice middle ground in some area's as well.

Also for cores, the OS and user software don't need the same OS when the OS is just API calls passing parameters, so would be viable to have the OS upon one core type and the user-space cores a totally different architecture. That again would add another level of security.

Quite a flawed article. To think you can shape people's watching behavior towards second-rate content is to be confused about how people actually spend their scarce time. Sure, people can use help finding things they like, but how were these large yet new creators discovered in the first place? Clearly there are mechanisms for rising to the top in each category... but perhaps there is just too much stickiness at the top?

Realistically, the largest creators are the most valuable to the places where content is consumed, so it's in the platforms' interest to keep them big and keep them being watched. These means less burden on content review. If 90% of view time goes to 1% of producers, content review a challenge. If 90% of views go to 10% of producers, now content review is a disaster. This "brand-safe" content is taken extremely seriously right now and it's not the time platforms will do anything except double down on this.

> Among the regulations the new bill seeks to enact are: ... Prohibiting video downloads from these platforms, to be in place within three months of enactment of the legislation

I feel like this part (which is what a lot of sex workers are balking at, as that's their bread and butter) is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Internet works--where I would claim accessing anything is "downloading" it--which, to actually implement, puts even more companies in a position of being pro- DRM and locked-down computing efforts :(. The wording from the bill: "a covered platform may not permit the download to a retrievable data file of any pornographic image from the platform".

Like, going down this path puts us in the position of "well, browsers can't just have a feature that lets you download anything you see, as they have to play along with mechanisms in place to help prevent people downloading files from porn websites!" being a reasonable position (in addition to the existing pressure from copyright groups and the such, which at least tech companies often have less sympathy for; and really, with the exception of Section 1201, often has "less teeth" and doesn't force the hand much of platforms and devices... this is more direct).

Many ISPs use limited-duration promotional rates to sign up new customers, after which a discounted rate returns to a higher rate. We can debate the pros/cons of that practice as a marketing tactic, but that's not the same as the unfair charging practice described in the article. As far as I know, Comcast does not engage in forcing customers to rent equipment.

I did a similar thing when I was at college. I’d set up ‘Empire’[1], a sort of multiplayer civilization server at college, and I’d graduated to an Atari ST with a massively-fast 2400 baud modem (none of that 300-baud or even 1200-baud stuff for me!) which cost me a fair amount of my student budget for the term...

Anyway, I bought it 1 month after we’d all collectively rented a house, and we’d already had a telephone bill for the previous month. I think it went from about £50 to about £350 for that month, after which I discovered the joys of downloading the game state (built into the game) and writing scripts to make my moves, then uploading those moves in one go, rather than doing everything interactively while online.
