Not to mention AMD moved from mostly using Globalfoundries to using TSMC for most of their new CPU/GPU including consoles. And AMD have had quite the resurgence over the last 5 years in terms of sales.

It's definitely a confluence of demand scenarios which would have been difficult to plan for at the best of times and then there was the overall disruption to supply chains and long term planning that Covid would have presented.
Exactly.

I worked on a farm in my teens in 90s upstate ny that was like the last dying breath of the traditional family farm. It was a property that was intact since a land grant from a Dutch patroon and continuously farmed until around 2000. Today the family still owns it, and boards a few horses to pay the taxes.

The farmer was an old-school conservative farmer. He was a local Republican Party leader for awhile, a conservationist and just overall hardworking guy. The modern farm is more like an oil company. I think that 75 years from now, when we lament the fate of the impoverished Midwest Desert and will see the 1970s/1980s as a watershed moment where we flipped our entire governance philosophy to short term P&L, despite then obvious and already learned lessons of the past.
We’ll probably be eating lab-grown meat and hydroponically-grown vegetables by then.

Renting is many things, but it sure isn't flexible. If I get a new job while there are still 5 months left on my lease, I either need to eat a pretty hefty cost to get a second apartment now or take my chances that I'll be able to find a good apartment later (in addition to suffering the long commute for months). It might take a little time and effort for a sale to go through but at least I can choose when to start the process, and the fees don't need to be paid out of pocket when I move. And with buying a home, what you see is what you get, whereas with renting there is a huge unknown in the landlord/management that incentivizes you to stick with the devil you know. On top of this, the value of flexibility is itself questionable - maybe you'll get a new job in 5 months, maybe you'll be there 5 years; owning carries the risk you may have to sell at a sub-optimal time and take a loss, but renting is guaranteed to burn the money. In my opinion, renting makes more sense in situations like fixed term work contracts where you don't have flexibility.
Yeah this is true, people didn't necessarily "barter" back in the day. Traders and merchants probably did because they wanted immediate payment, but within a trustworthy community you simply record or memorize what you did and demand the other side to pay you back in the future.

An oversimplified hunter and gatherer society would just let the hunters give meat to the gatherers, assuming that they will one day be paid back with gathered vegetables or fruit.
You're treating economics as a zero-sum game, which is false. The world as a whole is significantly better off than it was before, and we cannot attribute all of our productivity and qualify-of-life gains solely to the exploitation of natural resources and oppressing people.

The sad part is that many of us have to constantly fight against those of "us" who are actively working against those improvements.

It's easy to take an outside look and say "well, see, humankind fixed it", but the personal energy and misery that goes into fighting for those fixes is enormous. I wouldn't call it "misanthropy".

Sure...if you know what you're doing. Dynamic microphones are not inferior hardware, they are the best tool for a particular sort of job. In film production I would use condenser microphones most of the time, but still made frequent use of dynamic microphones for work in noisy situations and so on. Live music performance typically uses dynamic microphones because if you brought a condenser microphone on stage you'd have a lot of trouble getting a clear signal out of it, plus they're much more likely to distort when a performer lets rip.
Funnily enough, that is the _exact_ same problem I'm facing right now, down to Firecracker and a custom internal TLD. I'm excited to see the solutions.

You are right about the heretics part. But he has a point in the sense that the Catholic Church mostly fought against witch hunts, look

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alonso_de_Salazar_Fr%C3%ADas

Alonso de Salazar Frías has been given the epithet "The Witches’ Advocate"[1] by historians, for his role in establishing the conviction, within the Spanish Inquisition, that accusations against supposed witches were more often rooted in dreams and fantasy than in reality, and the inquisitorial policy that witch accusations and confessions should only be given credence where there was firm, independent, corroborating evidence. He was probably the most influential figure in ensuring that those accused of witchcraft were generally not put to death in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Spain. The Spanish Inquisition was one of the first institutions in Europe to rule against the death penalty for supposed witches. Its Instructions of 1614, which embodied Salazar's ideas, were influential throughout Catholic Europe.
I have a SpiffChorder [1] built by Greg Priest-Dorman. It has 7 keys (three for thumb). I can write at about 40-50 wps and code in emacs reasonably, but it is slower, so I only use it when I am eating something or have one hand busy. Greg mentioned having two keyboards in each hand should be faster than a single traditional keyboard, but I never tried that.

I bow out of this discussion since you are clearly looking for a fight, and seem to be having a bad day. I hope your day improves.

(Once more, I gave you information about (a) where I live, and therefore where the relevant laws are, and (b) pointed out that there are many, many citations saying that Wardrobing is an asshole move (as I said) but not illegal. That is my basis for rejecting your claims. It's not impossible to search the case law for someone being prosecuted for Wardrobing, and I encourage you to do so; if you find someone who has been convicted under any state law, I would be genuinely interested in hearing about it, since that would likely change my mind. Irrelevant sources, however, won't.)
I would go further and expect number 2 to be the norm. If I pay for a service and I'm allocated and the service is up and available for 6 months and I have 6 months left I would expect the refund to be 6 months and not from the beginning of the contract. They've already spent the money and you've already earned the money at that point.
Yeah... I'm renting a two bedroom apartment in the middle of a nice area for $1200 a month (with rent costs split with my partner). All utilities (water, trash, electricity) are included in that cost, and they have a full time staff that maintains the grounds.

This means I'm living in a nice area for only $600 a month.

If I wanted to live in a home in the same area, that $600 wouldn't even cover the interest on the mortgage, much less all the other costs that come with living in a home.

In the mean time, I have been saving thousands of dollars every month and investing it. Over the past couple of years, I managed to completely pay off over $50,000 worth of debt and also saved up around $140,000 (most of which is invested in stock market index funds).

If I want to move to another state to pursue other job opportunities, I can do that whenever I want at the drop of the hat. All it would cost me to terminate my lease early is two month's worth of rent.

So yeah... pros and cons. I'm still not convinced that buying a house is worth it over renting.
Toward deep-learning models that can reason about code more like humans
How diverse are the experiences you are generalizing from? Companies are different, so you'll need to sample from lots of different ones. You can also try talking to your manager about what your career goals are and what needs to change to get there. It sounds like you might just need to be in a team / company where your skills and matches the mission critical features, so you could look for transfer opportunities. Or if you don't care about the "leadership" route, you can opt out and try contracting / consulting. Every client wants a different set of experiences, so jack-of-all-trades is more likely to hit on multiple skills.

That doesn't work. If they are aware of a huge non-public deal, the market may react based on their trade, but not nearly as much as when the deal goes public.
Plus it was an unprecedented investment in labor. An entire generation of young men were either killed or maimed, or they received job training and the offer of a free college degree.

I did something similar a long time ago trying to make a little box that played the Kool-Aid guy saying "Oh Yeah" when you hit a button. It was relatively easy to make it work, by resampling and quantizing the .wav, then loading that into an Arduino timer/PWM generator. But as others have said, quality wasn't great.

A big issue I ran into was filling up the data memory, which was what required such limiting quantization. I'm curious if anyone has tried doing this sort of audio but using a noise-shaping quantizer (i.e. Delta Sigma Modulation), as that was my next plan but I forgot about the project.

With DSM, you can generate a higher frequency 1 bit sequence, that when filtered recovers the original audio signal. The benefit here being that for the same amount of storage space, you can push the quantization noise into higher frequencies that aren't as prevalent in speech/music, then filter it off.
This is kind of a ridiculous announcement, but I appreciate what they're trying to do. I find it ironic that they're trying to improve security & privacy for app users, but then the first apps they certify are almost exclusively VPNs, which are some of the worst for user privacy.

VPN vendors collect all kinds of data on their users and are sometimes even backed by intelligence agencies. Sure, use them to get around region restrictions for something uncontroversial, but don't send all your traffic through them and expect privacy.

I also see that they didn't tackle the hardest part of mobile app security -- the backend services. Many apps scrape data from the device and then push it to the service, where it is logged (for how long?) and reused in who knows how many ways. The lack of transparency around backend processing is the real problem for app users.

How many users have been had their data exposed by an open S3 bucket or database versus by a vulnerability in the app code itself?

I find it unethical because the net effect is that companies stop offering friendly return policies. When people treat return policies by the letter of the agreement rather than by its spirit, they create a world where companies won't offer relaxed return policies, and therefore make the world a bit worse for everyone else.

It's not illegal to use the agreement in this way, and I would never try to make it so. But I would absolutely look down on someone for behaving this way.

I've actually seen the BBB get involved and help resolve issues. The two situations I was involved with related to smaller to medium companies. It mostly seemed like they didn't realize what they were doing wasn't legal or ethical and just needed the someone official to tell them that. I don't know if it will help in this case since Tesla is huge and has an army of lawyers. At least it will affect their rating and maybe warn others.

I've had a third situation that did require the AG since the BBB got nowhere. That was a larger company too.
Sales of Fab Tools Surge to Over $71B in 2020
Hey all,

I've been working full-time on a game called KickAround Live for the last eight months. It's a real-time multiplayer 5 aside soccer game. In the game, there are different types of football players: forward - good at powerful kicks, midfielder - can dash with the ball, defender - good in tackling.

There are currently three game modes: Rated (1v1s), Unrated (from 1v1 to 4v4s), and Sandbox.

It's a html5 pc game, and it is free to play. It is a multiplayer game, so to play it a friend or two can help. If you do so, let me know what you think and if you enjoyed it!

>the uncertainties in the estimates are large. While the population of T. rexes was most likely 20,000 adults at any give time, the 95% confidence range — the population range within which there’s a 95% chance that the real number lies — is from 1,300 to 328,000 individuals. Thus, the total number of individuals that existed over the lifetime of the species could have been anywhere from 140 million to 42 billion.

So could have been anywhere from, far less than the amount of wolves now to almost half the amount of humans that have ever lived.

IMO the problem with calculating precise savings is there is no "standard" use-case that could be used as a reference. I took one real-life application as an example in order to be more precise than just "it's somewhat faster", but the benefits will differ based on many different things (platform, app size, frameworks, etc.).

Not directly, but it creates an incentive landscape that encourages the formation of more capital, basically making the potential payoff of starting a company larger and more likely.
The problem is that the economy is being driven by rent seeking behavior and cantillion effects. This is great for the elites, but at the same time they can see how the ground is starting to crumble. As "the plebs" start to gamble they're working to blame any future collapse on the irresponsibility of the crowd. Shrinking responsibility for the fact that this is the system that they have lobbied for and created and the plebs are behaving rationally irrational.

> They're never going to be as sharp, or as bright, as a nice fast lens on a quality camera.

If you've got decent lighting, that's not true.

My Logitech C920 -- the most popular webcam of all time -- outputs a fully sharp 1080p. With normal front lighting, it handles 30 fps perfectly without visible noise, i.e. full brightness. There's zero quality difference versus using my DSLR. It's as sharp and as bright.

Now sure it can't do low-light conditions well or do 4K or depth of field or a fisheye lens or the other million things a DSLR can do... but for videoconferencing purposes it's literally indistinguishable in quality.

If the bet is wrong, OTM options expire worthless. ITM options give you less risk, but for a premium (you buy fewer contracts with the same amount of money). But still with more leverage than outright buying the stock.

This is captured in the concept of Delta one of the “greeks” which is a parameter in the black scholes equation and solution that tries to measure the pricing movement of the option relative to the price movement of the stock. Owning stock has a delta of 1. ITM options have a delta closer to 1 but not exactly 1, OTM options have a delta closer to 0, but not exactly 0. ATM options of a delta around .5.

> You are wondering why people who prioritize something else "don't care about audio quality"? Remember open offices? The likely culprit for them going with noise canceling headphones?

Exactly that. I've been working for 5 years in more or less noisy open offices. Some of them so noisy that there were regular arguments between the self-proclaimed quiet ones and the noisy phone callers. I followed this with amusement.

So yes, it is quite an exaggeration to now ask for Hifi audio quality during meetings. Apart from that, I think a little noise makes the lockdown in the home office a bit less boring, the majority of people worked on-site before the pandemic.
