> The reason we have very expensive consumer DACs is that there are a lot of retired people who listen to music all day and have nothing better to spend money on.

After a certain point, yes. I'd personally wouldn't distinguish a %0.001 THD Burr Brown DAC and %0.0001 THD Burr Brown DAC in normal listening volumes with a good amplifier and set of good speakers. I inadvertently own both variants (one is in my CD player, the other is in my sound card).

However, being a former orchestra player, I assume I can hear a really bad DAC and a difference between 44.1KHz file and 48KHz file under some circumstances (like high detailed cymbals or other sounds in treble range). I'll happily stand corrected though.

> But I don't think employers see as much difference between labor wages and machine maintenance as you do.

Of course they do. When labor is voluntary, the wage is agreed upon by all parties to the transaction. When labor is not voluntary then only the compelling party need agree.

> You can make a business judgment about how well to feed or house your slaves -- or particular favored slaves -- in much the same way that one company might differ with another company over how much to invest in employee morale.

This is like saying a rapist can choose to give their victim jewelry just like a husband can choose to give his wife jewelry. It ignores all essential differences in order to make a comparison that doesn’t exist.

> Slaves can be compensated in numerous ways; one very common way in the American South was to allow them to practice sharecropping. That would be labor that was not compelled, but from which the slave was entitled to keep some of the gains, whether for direct consumption or commercial sale. (As opposed to ordinary labor, which definitely was compelled and all of the gains of which went to the landowner.)
This model extended to slaves who could provide skilled labor. Their labor was in general not compelled; they often worked as independent contractors, dealing with customers directly. Like the sharecroppers, they were entitled to keep a portion of their earnings, and the rest went to their owner.

I’m aware of sharecropping and manumission but I think you’re contradicting yourself when you assert that the slave’s labor was not compelled. It was always subject to compulsion, meaning it was compelled in fact even if it may have taken the form of noncompulsory labor. The slave was still subject to compulsion. There was no option for the slave to decline the arrangement and be free from consequences imposed by the slave owner. A man steals my TV from my house, he’s a thief and he stole from me. Observing that he did not also steal my toaster is irrelevant.

> But these characteristics are much more typical of slaves than unpaid labor is.

You’re neglecting that “compulsory labor” is unpaid labor. You’re asserting a distinction without a difference.

"But the biggest potential is in ability to fearlessly parallelize majority of Rust code, even when the equivalent C code would be too risky to parallelize. In this aspect Rust is a much more mature language than C."

Yes. Today, I integrated two parts of a 3D graphics program. One refreshes the screen and lets you move the viewpoint around. The other loads new objects into the scene. Until today, all the objects were loaded, then the graphics window went live. Today, I made those operations run in parallel, so the window comes up with just the sky and ground, and over the next few seconds, the scene loads, visibly, without reducing the frame rate.

This took about 10 lines of code changes in Rust. It worked the first time it compiled.

Yeah, some people were hoping Ethereum would be different. But no, number gotta go up.
Hey there - it certainly uses E2E encryption - see https://support.diode.io/article/jieo6utgv9-are-my-communica... and the "A serverless solution using end-to-end encryption" at https://diode.io/products/d-drive/ and "Communications through the Diode Network are 256bit end to end encrypted" at https://diode.io/resources/how-it-works/.

The entry plan is free - it is pretty capable and should fulfill most use cases to replace Google Drive and Dropbox for individuals. If people need things like password-protected shares and team-member permissions management, then an upgrade is required. The model is pretty typical for SaaS, but we are certainly enabling MORE capabilities for individuals than perhaps typical because we believe a solution like this is really needed by everyone.

In terms of buy-once, use forever, Diode doesn't have a great consumer-buyer model for that "yet." However, the Diode Network is open to deploy new apps to, and the free Diode Drive plan can be extended with external tech. Gotta pay the bills somehow :-).

I personally think the US has a tradition of liberty, in the Constitution and stretching back to Habeas Corpus, that is worth protecting, and shouldn't be using any sort of mass-surveillance of private interactions. Warrantless mass surveillance is the kind of law enforcement strategy used by authoritarian states like China's.

The reason the power of the state ought to be checked is that the people who work in the state can pose a threat to others, just as anyone can. A threat analysis that does not include the state itself as a potential threat vector, and only considers the threats that emerge when the state cannot invade everyone and anyone's privacy at its whim, is wholly incomplete.

Going to have to disagree with you. There is a significant difference between going through something that really sucks, and being traumatized. Based on the information presented thus far, OP is going through the former.
Rust has yet to standardize an ABI. Yes you can call or expose a function with C calling conventions. However, you cant pass all native rust types like this, and lose some semantics.

However, as the parent comment you responded to you can enable LTO when compiling C. As rust is mostly always statically linked it basically always got LTO optimizations.

I’d say that’s about as utopian of an idea as the unrestricted free market.

In theory, sure, sounds great, but the pragmatic timescale it would take to get there would be beyond lifetimes. We’ll all be dead by the time these systems reach their true form.

In your particular example for instance, human nature would wreck havoc in the form of abuse. I will point to (incoming snark) the very rare cases of slavery, underpaid labor, serfdom, like you know, these rare things that happened through the centuries. So yeah, I suppose that idea is ‘still working itself out’ two thousand years later.

Fuck all that is my point, as many souls have been lost waiting for utopia. Ask the guys that built the pyramids.
Thanks for the feedback...
Very useful read and the author explained all the concepts really well

My impression is that what kind of parallelism patterns you need is pretty consistent within entire fields of programming. So you can go an entire career of performance optimization within HPC, game dev, film rendering or trading systems and never use the patterns the others say they use all the time.

My experience with process-based parallelism is that yes on Linux it's basically isomorphic to thread-based parallelism. It's just so much more code to do the same thing.

In Rust adding a new special-purpose background thread with some standard-library channels is 30 lines of code and I can probably even access the same logging system from the other thread.

If I wanted to do that with processes I need to:

- Coordinate a shared memory file over command line arguments or make sure everything is fork-safe

- Find a library for shared-memory queues

- Deal with making sure that if either process crashes the other process goes down with it in a reasonable way.

- Make sure all my monitoring/logging is also hooked up to the other process.

If I want to use a shared memory data-structure with atomics I need to either not use pointers or live dangerously and try and memory-map it at the exact same offsets in each process and ensure I use a special allocator for things in the shared file.

Yes you can do all the same things with both approaches, I just find threads take way less code. It's not too bad if all your processes are doing the same thing, and you also need to scale to many servers anyhow. It's more annoying if you want to have a bunch of different types of special background processes.

Parallelism in 2021 should not be tightly coupled across threads if performance matters, the limitations of that model are well-understood. There is no way to make that comparatively efficient; the CPU cache waste alone ensures that. Nothing you can do with thread support in a programming language will be competitive with e.g. a purpose-built scheduler + native coroutines. That’s right up against the theoretical limit of what is possible in terms of throughput and it doesn’t have any thread overhead. It does introduce the problem of load shedding across cores but that’s solve for all practical purposes.

I’ve been writing parallel code at the largest scales most of my career. The state-of-the-art architectures are all, effectively, single-threaded with latency-hiding. This model has a lot of mechanical sympathy with real silicon which is why it is used. It is also pleasantly simple in practice.

I'd gladly take an ABX test and stand corrected. digital feed's ABX test is pretty good but needs some quiet time to do it correctly. I'll try to find some time to take it. I tried but, it's not good when you don't have time.

> I can personally recognize full bitrate mp3.

It's possible to recognize some equipment (software or hardware) by ear because of its distinctive sound dynamics. I've listened a limited set of stuff (amplifiers, headphones, CD players, etc.) and can recognize each of them by ear. I think starting early and playing some instruments in groups help with ear training.

> But move on to anything more modern than mp3, such as Apple's AAC encoder...

The latest generation of encoders sound extremely transparent. You're right about it. It's a good thing actually. I'm not grumpy about not being able to brag about identifying the codec of the file I'm listening to. I just want to hear enjoyable, detailed, high resolution music. If my ears and brain are happy about what they're hearing, I'm happy.

I have been working on a game solo for the last while. It can be extremely rewarding and extremely stressful. If you decide to go back to your startup role, it can pay off to take some time completely off (a day? A month? Longer?) and then go back to things very slowly and gradually in a low stress way, until it becomes enjoyable and feels manageable again. I wish I could say something more helpful than that

>>The Ethereum miners have unionized, however, so now you are negotiating with the miner unions to pay what they think is their "fair share."

Unlike with employers and real world unions, the Ethereum network is not bound by labor laws to negotiate exclusively with unionized miners, or refrain from replacing them with non-unionized miners. Without those laws, unions are pretty powerless, which is why the late 19th century had such low unionization rates.

>>I hope the miners get their due, because it was the initial philosophy of Ethereum.

The initial plan of Ethereum was to launch with Proof of Work, and very quickly afterwards switch to Proof of Stake. Miners have already gotten much more time to earn from ETH issuance than was originally planned.

I think they are. Most new electric cars are like at least 250 mile range, and Tesla's flagship Model S starts out at over 400 mile range (and their 520 mile range version will be available in about 12 months... that's more than most conventionally fueled cars). Charge speed is fine (you'll spend less time overall than you spend at gas stations) and safety is overall superior. Battery life is also not a concern as the battery in these vehicles will outlast the car.

I just don't think people realize that batteries actually are plenty good enough now. No breakthrough is needed. It's about driving down the cost to as low as possible and scaling out charging standards and networks. And ultimately, just banning new conventional cars outright (starting out by requiring all new vehicles to have a plug in a few years).
Agreed. But at the same time, a key part of normalization is constant exposure; people who are exposed to extreme views incessantly are less likely to recognize them as "extreme" than those who only see them once in a blue moon, and see them get moderated when they do.

This isn't even specific to extremist views or even politics in general; in all parts of life, from the foods people eat, to the religion they practice, to the music they enjoy: people will consider "normal" that which they constantly perceive.

> You might trust that 3rd party now, but not in a years time (when, hopefully, you're still alive)

Then you don't want blockchain-based technology. Remember, the data is still on the chain, and can never be deleted - the paper is pretty clear about it.

So in a year's time if the 3rd party contacts the archeologist, they can arrange to truncate the chain and unseal the key. Yes, the archeologist is not going to get paid on-chain by the protocol, but the secret is still out.

Really looks like the bank's safe deposit is a much better solution if your data is valuable.
No, it’s not private healthcare that’s the issue, it’s the absurd layer of regulations that were developed over the past 70+ years. Typically some inefficiency was addressed with regulation that just created a new inefficiency.

To give you a good example - 340b is a govt regulation that requires drug manufacturers to give a 23% discount off drugs to hospitals that treat a lot of low income patients. Great idea right?

Well, that just incentivized hospitals to buy up standalone oncology clinics, fold them into the hospital and then capture that sweet 23% margin on drugs without actually using it to help low income patients.

As a result there are almost no community oncologists now, they almost all work for hospitals and good luck starting your own clinic now.

Good intentions that just made the problem worse.
