It’s a start though. The article failed to articulate inspiration.

Most Instagram people start by following the template of showing off foods they like, then nice pictures of landscapes. What inspires them is the want to share their appreciation of the world.

Fetishization is when it mutates into the template manifesting into vanity. That your appreciation of the world just turned into mostly selfies of you. Or clinically, that these things are ‘extensions’ of you, which is the laughable clinical explanation of narcissism. It’s standard self absorption. The shrinks that came up with the clinical explanations should honestly be put in jail (DSM) for creating the language of demonization of an evolving personality.

Iterative process for sure.

The analogue in tech is ‘behold me demonstrating this technical how-to in a blog’. Vanity is a real problem in the modern world.

So it brings me to that weird old saying, paraphrasing, ‘the unexamined mind ...’, as in, most of us have tremendous amount of self reflection left to make sense of all that we are absorbing.

Did we really digest it into a good source of nutrients, with a solid chunk of shit pushed out at the end. It’s almost like being a traffic controller in your own digestive system. The curse of consciousness.

The longing to just be a dog, but burdened with the responsibility of humanity (where nothing is every thrown away, and nothing is ever lost on you, and that you accumulated it all into the faintest white tone as not to be noticed, but still incorporated on the white background of the picture).
Why is it to broad to be accomplished? It seems to cover your typical BSEE, and you need an exposure to all of it.

Razavis RFIC is a good one too, but that’s really getting too specialized. Pozar is good for undergrad microwave.

Which is the modern evolution of HyperCard to my understanding
Not sure if I follow the conclusion. The first half (copy it) makes sense -- the things that most keep me alive as a creator are constantly learning and selectively taking the parts I like from new trends and integrating them into my toolbox.

But the latter point (avoid it) is pretty dangerous, in my opinion. I used to do that, and it resulted in me missing the boat in some really retrospectively stupid ways. Instead, I take a more neutral wait and see approach for most things, reserving my avoidance for things I can tell are wrong.

Neutrality is important. Giving new ideas which aren't fully formed the space to breathe is a key part of any kind of innovation process. Prematurely abridging that in one direction or another can cause unforced errors. That doesn't mean you have to move slowly when you /do/ know. But it does mean that you should be cautious about trying to compress parts of the process which are fundamentally incompressible.
> best heuristic code for TSP .. 100k-city instances

These "best cases" are hand-tuned for the domain by algorithm experts - right? How big is the performance jump from generic z3 or whatever?

Edit: After alphazero, there was lots of chatter about improving combinatorical problems. This has proven elusive.

I'm surprised that there aren't any specialised instructions or hardware resources to handle the RISC-V instruction decoding/dispatching. [1]

Like, sure, it's not meant to be a fast implementation, but even just a "mask byte with 0x7C and set PC to that value times 8" instruction (which in an FPGA implementation is just rearranging the wires) could save 5-6 cycles per instruction.

Is it really "microcoded" when all you're doing is writing a RISC-V emulator that runs on what looks to be a fairly standard 8 bit CPU?

Odd argument. SMS is a hellscape to DIY (especially financially), email even more so with DKIM. If by SMS/email you mean "Twilio" or "Mailchimp," well, that's no different than using a third party push service.

> It's not like AMD is above artificially limiting the performance of certain workloads when it suits them, they do it with CAD applications unless you pay the workstation tax.

I'm curious about that, do you have an example?
I only know of nvidia consumer drivers giving you abysmal performance if you try to use fixed function pipeline line or wireframe rendering with opengl. Or at least they did a couple of years ago. As soon as you used shaders to render the same lines everything got super fast. I always suspected it's their way to force users of CAD systems to buy their pricey professional cards. No game would use opengl line rendering without shaders or if any game did in the long gone past it's probably so old and the line count so low that it would be still fine with the artificial slowdown.
And to expand on that: if I get really good at building that floor plan, I can't sell my construction services to people who like that floor plan but suck at construction. And further, if I make a substantial improvement on that floorplan to address flaws with it or tailor it to different folks' needs, I can't sell that better floorplan or my services around building said better floorplan.

So now, if I want to make money with my skills and labor, I'm at the mercy of your architectural firm, which means I'm fundamentally at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiating fair compensation for my labor.
With good policies and good people, you don't need "HR". I would argue he has HR just without a centralized department. Although either way, the only good HR is no HR.

HR sucks.

> During all this time, I never got the impression that IB work was important or interesting. He'd clamour to get his hands on spreadsheet ("model") work, but it never struck me as actually sensible. There were simply too many moving parts on these giant Excel sheets to actually be a real, predictive model. There was no evidence that such a model was a good representation of a supermarket or whatever.

personally, this would suck out any kind of enjoyment out of a job for me, no matter the money.

I also work in a high stress industry (datacenter/connectivity) and while the work can be crazy at times, it is all worth it because the work i do actually matters to people, companies and organisations which depend on the systems we run. I am building something which directly benefits other people.

> We never did anything like a movie or a dinner without it being at the very least interrupted by work. Really important stuff like "you have to change the font on p57-89".

If this is seen as "important", what value do these investment banks actually produce except gaming the market and taking profits? are they actually producing anything that helps their peers?

I've been in situations that had me interrupted (major outages for instance), which suck ofcourse, but atleast the motivation and pride in the work makes it worth it.
Yup, I was talking about extended lunches with many beers. In my opinion, heavy drinking is still bad outside work hours. I've seen supervisors making financial decisions while hangover from their last night party. Was I supposed to believe that their judgment was not biased and faculties ready for any situation? Would you better have an inexperienced sober junior or an experienced senior under effect of alcohol as an employee?

I think if you require users to bring their own computer, you can be insulated enough from hardware costs to not really care about memory usage, and that's mostly fine. I have worked on set top boxes at an ISP. We designed and manufactured the hardware; if we could get away with 512MB of RAM instead of 1GB of RAM, that was basically pure profit for us. So some attention was paid to memory use, because it had a real dollar cost associated with it. (I guess I'll point out that the engineering samples had a gig of RAM, and someone got the idea to write the UI in Dart running inside Chrome instead of the very legacy Java that we had on the previous hardware generation... so the production models did not ship with 512MB of RAM.)

To some extent, being careful about memory usage is not the only way to make the business work -- you could, after all, charge more for the service or make people buy the CPE outright. But, being an ISP mostly involves getting enough people to buy the service to make it worth digging up a neighborhood to run fiber; you don't want to sour the deal by costing more than the competition with less able CPE. Doubling the RAM available to software engineers may improve the user experience by more than 100%, but nobody picks their ISP for the software than runs on their TV box, so it's probably wise to be careful.

My point here is that some programmers do have to care about memory usage. If you include a computer as part of your product, you will someday be looking at the BOM cost of the bundled computer in an attempt to turn cost into profit.
That is hideously bad design on mobile. Not only do you have to zoom in and move around while zoomed in to find items it also breaks down so the right part moves more than the left. Yes it is good on desktop but on mobile I'd click on to a competitor ASAP.

Well, they already might have, and if so they already might have been either accepted or rejected.

It could be difficult to know for sure.

Depends on which qualities of Apple you want to focus on.
Release of Oil 0.8.8
There's such a shocking difference between amateur sailboat racing and the pro's. Your average weekend beercan race worldwide is an order of magnitude slower, with loads and danger a fraction of what you see in even a fast circuit boat, and everyone's just screaming at each other thinking more volume will unwrap the spinnaker faster.

It really really hammers home the power of training.
but is investment banking really necessary work in that regard?
in the end, it is just white collar office work at the end of the day.
This has very little content (1 minute video). I can imagine why it would be advantageous but it would be great to hear more about how it has worked.
Pedestrian concerns aside (this really can't be much worse than the other megalithic land yachts on the market), I like the idea of cars on the market that offer driver safety trade-offs in exchange for utility, aesthetics, or price. Insurance can price that into the premium. I'd gladly give up some physical security for certain benefits. Just put a 'do not resuscitate' flag on my card if the insurance won't clear or something.

If color doesn't matter to you ReMarkable [0] is the exact thing you need (it seems like you do, but I wll include it for anyone else looking for something hacker friendly). It basically allows you to just ssh into it and do whatever you want. It has an active hacker community [1][2].

Sorry I didn't answer your question exactly but reMarkable (I am not affiliated btw) seems quite cool. I am sad it is a bit too expensive for me to justify the purchase.

I'm not sure how that's supposed to hurt me to be honest. It's not like I'm trying to make voodoo dolls of them and might poke myself in the finger by accident. But fair enough on being overly dramatic on the wording. It's not like I'm actively trying to make them suffer.

I do feel for the other introverts that are more socially inclined and suffering as well. There's many an introvert that is finding out that they are introverts but that it doesn't mean that all personal human contact was bad. Even myself, I miss some of it. In fact, since I'm less drained from being around people all day in the office and during the commute, I feel more need to get out myself and I socialize more on my own time (though it takes different forms thanks to the pandemic than before). Before there was nothing left and I just wanted to be by myself.

However, I will maintain that I shed zero tears for the extroverted (especially HR types) people that force stuff on you without any consideration whatsoever. The worst are the ones that try to make you feel bad for being who you are and trying to make you more like them as if that is the only way to be.
I would load up Slackware 14.2 on that bad boy.
Have you seen Stump the Guesser by Guy Maddin? Your site reminds me of it.
No, because founders that are truly as visionary and intelligent as Apple's co-founders are unlikely to be willing to give up a sizable amount of equity for a tiny amount of money and the promise of being able to meet a few people and call in a few favors.

Even more so in recent years, since YC has essentially turned into a conveyor belt incubator (in my opinion).
> The issue isn't nights or weekends. The issue is: constant lack of organisation (i.e. everything is urgent and last minute), and not hiring enough staff.

this seems to be the main issue. Most other industries which require night work, 24 hour shifts etc have solved these issues DECADES ago already. Either by some kind of rotation/scheduling system, or by having multiple shifts.

> You can emulate a complete 68k Mac on a FPGA, but where do you attach that weird NuBus card?

I just looked, and NuBus has 96 pins with clock rate of like 20 MHz. There are FPGAs with > 500 GPIO that can easily handle that clock rate, and ones with over >200 GPIO that are fairly affordable. Now, I mess around with FPGAs, but I'm not an electrical engineer, and there may be other issues. But it seems doable.

Any electrical engineer and/or hardcore FPGA hacker want to chime in?
There was an interesting article that made a point similar to the one in the title of this one published last month in Scientific American [1].

In October 2019 a project led by the Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security released a comprehensive assessment of the global health security capabilities of 195 countries [2].

On pandemic preparedness, the US was found to be the most prepared in the world. Second was the UK. New Zealand was #35 and Vietnam #50. The COVID came alone and the outcomes where way off from what you'd expect from that ranking.

(Note: when they said the US was #1 and the UK #2, they were not saying they were well prepared. They found that preparedness was fundamentally weak and no country was prepared for an epidemic or pandemic. So #1 just means the experts expected the US to do badly, but others to do worse).

According to the article, the people making the report should have had anthropologists, psychologists, and historians who understood politics and culture included among their experts. Social factors shape pandemic responses more than do medical factors.

The author doesn't describe why they thought a cross product of two large tables, using a group by to remove duplicates, would be a good basis for this query.
You may not be familiar with US history, but it was an extremely segregated society back then with many lynchings occurring for any black people who stepped out of line. Black Americans frequently had to make parallel systems just for their communities since they were often not served by services run by white Americans.

So in this case the skin color of the people who created these newspapers is an important historical contextual point. Additionally, it’s simply a fact of the matter being discussed and as such it isn’t racist to mention a basic fact.
I bet some kinda 3D printed dough mesh would be the most saucable shape
No, they're trying to eliminate feral cats in the bush and outback areas where they are driving native animal populations to extinction. The mouse problem is in grain farming areas and is cyclical.
Ouch; that's a nightmare situation. PhD students should be paying a dollar or two a month for off-site backups.
Ballmer peak for finance?
I have never dealt with HR and came away happy or less stressed.
Run away / spooked carriage horses that trampled were treated in a similar way.
Thankfully. Seems like the bigger risk is of the Secret Santa not actually sending anything; I'm hesitant to do it because I know I'll be that asshole who spaces out and forgets about it.
As others have pointed out, this is not pleasant on mobile (at least in Brave on Android).

But I'm also not a fan on desktop - it's just so busy it almost makes my head hurt!
At this size u need HR just to deal with holiday requests and sick leave.
Who is trying to block cryptocurrency mining on video cards and CPUs? Can anyone explain that? I don't buy the "because then gamers can't buy video cards" montra.

The introduction of mice is the root cause. They're not an indigenous species.
This whole project looks dope so allow me to make some superficial bikesheddy complaints.

1. It just has bad KHTML forks for the engine. What about Gecko and Presto and Trident all the other fine renderers?

2. I don't know what kind of lisp they're using (probably Common Lisp), anyway it's not my favourite kind.
It's both fair and not; if you want a desktop, the cheapest POWER desktop is 3k, and at 4 cores it's arguably not competing against TR. Yes it's IO throughput will put a desktop class part to shame, but you can't go any cheaper.
in my experience this is the norm in most european companies.

If you need to do overwork to reach the good levels of productivity something is seriously wrong in your company.
Sure, moments of overwork happen, but in my experience it is usually seen as a failure in management if this happens regularly.
>Web is web and not desktop.

Says who? If a standard had to be forced I'd vote for desktop on web over your kind of web any day.
In sports especially, I've found that the people I admire within that discipline will readily dispense gear advice, and not knowing any better myself, I take their advice full and whole. I got into mountain biking this way. A couple years in, I now have formed opinions about components, know what kind of riding style I have etc. but it's helpful at first to substitute someone else's preferences for your own so that you don't get caught up on details when you're starting out.

Or call it by a different name, but doing the exact same functions
I've heard of one but not the other (and vice versa for you it seems).
Definitely true. I would rather identify the problem (which is a wild guess) as having very similar burden between larger and smaller industries, meaning no particular protective measures, investments or auxiliary measures (e.g. simplified tax formats - which exist only to a smaller extent) are taken to ensure a newborn company can safely "hatch".

Disclaimer: While Italian, I am no startup/industry owner, so anyone in the field could probably give a more insightful opinion.
I've been feeling very paranoid about posting ANYTHING online, honestly. Or chat, email, video call, etc. Is that what we're talking about?
I never understood the hype around RISC-V. It is an ISA on the level of a mediocre early 90s design and does not address any of the problems we have today such as the memory latency bottleneck and the resulting topology challenges. Several completely open source designs are available that are vastly superior and real world battle tested such as OpenSPARC-T2.

So why do we need RISC-V? Is it another case of NIHS?
A much more salient and important point is generative models relationship to music. Right now, covers are legally protected as derivative works. I predict commercial usage of generative music to avoid royalties within the next decade.

Philosophically, I think that the process of learning - whether by a human or simulacrom - should be protected. That is, if I write a book, I don't need to seek the permission or pay the authors of every book I've ever read. To me, this is the only sane result for a non-dualist materialist who believes neural networks are in principle isomorphic to human minds.

As a matter of law, I believe it will have to be determined on the case law level some point. I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
Or just delegate down to the employee's direct supervisor.

You need HR when someone has a harassment claim against a coworker, or their boss. Some third party not in their chain.
> On a cultural note, many ppl call Westerners with PC leanings “白左” and view the PC movement as a bit ridiculous.

Putting aside whether "westerners with PC leanings" are "ridiculous" or not, it's hardly surprising that a country ruled by the CCP would have isolationist tendencies against international leftist movements that do not align with their own national interests. This power grab over language and definition is pretty evident in any "socialist" one party state that has existed.
