Creating the ecosystem of both software and adjacent hardware for wafers this size is the real challenge for a company like Cerebras (which is doing amazing work). At first, they thought they just needed to make a chip 56x the size of its predecessor, and somehow get around the issue of defects and yield. After they solved those problems (which blocked Gene Amdahl, among others), they found they needed to bring an entire ecosystem into being to work with their hardware.

Great article, clarity of writing.
My opinionated and probably-biased answer to your question:

1. Due to their being no real central database, it's hard for physical persons in the US to prove their identity and consequently their citizenship status.

2. There are a lot of illegal immigrants in the US.

3. There are a lot of illegal immigrants in the US that have lived here for a long time so the "legality" of their status is muddied. This then makes the whole debate around this more about "what is right" and the emotions involved, instead of what the laws say.
Social Life Network ($WDLF): The Future of Niche Social Networks
In the context of the article, I think that can be attributed to age (go is older than rust, so trending towards the "brown field." See for example Scala, which is a little bit older, and ended up in both loved and hated lists. I'd speculate that Go will be in the same camp in 4 years or so based on polarized sentiment I've observed.

That being said, there may be something about strict/complicated languages like scala and haskell that tends to polarize developer sentiment. Rust seems like it could fall into that same pattern based on the "up front" work that it demands.
I don't get it. I might be misunderstanding things, but my understanding is that here in Norway the owner of a vessel has the ultimate responsibility in cases like these.

Countries mostly become rich by being highly socially organized, and having a high standard for individual contribution.

For example, 'gold' imported by ill-gotten means from some far off land actually provides 0 value in terms of material value creation. Of course 'oil' does, but remember the 'House of Saud' is kept in power by the US not with the promise of US access to 'cheap oil', rather, with the promise it will be sold at full value, on the open market - just not in some kind of strategic/complicated/backwater setup with the then Soviet Union or China. The US didn't 'go in and take all the oil', which they definitely had the power to do.

This exemplifies, in perhaps a crude, ham-fisted realpolitik manner the 'enforcement of trust' in systems I alluded to in my original comment: it's actually the US (and ultimately everyone's) interest to uphold fairly basic commercial and humanitarian standards in the long run.

And to be fair, these problems are to some extent a function of capitalism, because only 'very large' systems have the opportunity to plan on the generational scale, ergo, there's effectively no commercial enterprise for which the implementation of such standards really matters, that's generally the purview of governments.
Not true. Something as simple as transparency in a 3D engine is far less performant than a true 2D engine because of all the depth testing, shader overdraw, lightmapping, etc. There's a pretty big overhead even if you're not using any 3D features. Plus, in a true 2D engine you just work in pixels, rather than arbitrary 3D units that you have to work out the pixels from the projection, scale, camera settings and so on, which makes life a lot easier for many 2D games.

Plus, you can support a much larger range of hardware with a true 2D renderer that targets specific 2D graphics APIs, than with a cutting-edge 3D engine hacked to look 2D.
The pricing model feels a bit weird.

For the basic plan, it's [$20+$10/GB]/user/month for 1 user; [$17+$10/GB]/user/month for 3 users; [$16+$10/GB]/user/month for 6 users. So that's a max of a 15% discount for 3 or 20% discount for 6 (when not using data; less of a discount with data-usage).

Then for the next plan, it's $60/user/month for 1 user, $30/user/month for 3 users, and $30/user/month for 6 users. That's a 50% discount from 1 to 3, then no further discount for moving to 6.

I'd guess that the basic-plan is meant for price-sensitive subscribers, so they tried to keep it as cheap as possible, making further discounts difficult. Presumably they can still offer a discount for bundling users since it'd presumably save them by having fewer accounts to manage.

And then I'd guess that $60/month/user to $30/month/user might reflect a premium in the single-user plan. But presumably the sharp drop to a 50% discount by 3 users isn't due to reduced account-management costs (as it's not reflected in the basic-plan's discounts), so.. more competition in that market? Or maybe middle-tier subscribers are more likely to be price-sensitive if they're in a situation where they'd have multiple users on a plan? But then, why no discount for 3 users to 6?

In short, I wonder how they arrived at those price-points? Or, if those are affected by market-competition, I wonder why the market would've pushed them toward those price-points?
As repeatedly reported elsewhere in this thread, the current time for this back-up anti-stalking beeps is 3 days. (Updatable remotely by apple, but I doubt they will go below 24 hours). So as long as you come within Bluetooth range of your dog once every 3 days (or whatever apple changes it to), you will be fine.

This makes me wonder how long it takes for the iPhone based anti-stalking alerts to kick in. I'm sure this would be shorter, since it can be without too much annoyance. But how much shorter?

Very little, if anything, is usually at stake anyway, it's normally just a self-inflicted mental own goal.

It's a hard mental paradox to fix though, even though we logically understand that people like confident worry-free people more than people who worry about how they are liked, we still often worry about how we are liked anyway.

Year old Seed Investor Wants Dividends – Will I still be able to raise VC?
My mentor is a 75 years old successful entrepreneur in the food and beverage industry. Him and his business partner want to provide me with some seed money to grow.

The only issue is they want a quarterly dividend.

My margins are high enough to pull it off while still growing fast (It costs us $30 to acquire a customer and with weekly recurring revenue each customer is profitable after 4 weeks).

Would this arrangement ever prevent me from raising money from a VC?

One speculation I've read is that Australian/Japan/New Zealand's very-bad 2019 flu season was SARS-CoV-2 before it could be diagnosed. My understanding is that most cases of "flu" are suspected, not laboratory-confirmed.

Just found this October 4, 2019 NY Times story: Australia Just Had a Bad Flu Season. That May Be a Warning for the U.S., https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/04/health/flu-australia-amer...

From this NY times article: "This year’s Australian outbreak began in April [2019], two months earlier than usual, and persisted into October."

COVID-19 cases in the US probably started November-ish. COVID-19 was found in US blood samples from December 2019.

I had a day with an odd headache sometime around December 2019 or January 2020. I suspect I had a case of #EarlyCovid. Lots of other people in North America were super-sick in November/December 2019 and January 2020. Others have been using the hashtag for longer than I: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23EarlyCovid

Edit: At least 4 downvotes in 16 minutes. This indicates many of you do not believe SARS-CoV-2 could have been spreading before it was isolated in Wuhan China in December 2019, or that I and many others might have had a case of non-diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 before tests became available in the US in March 2020.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pande...

"A September 2020 review noted "The possibility that the COVID-19 infection had already spread to Europe at the end of last year is now indicated by abundant, even if partially circumstantial, evidence", including pneumonia case numbers and radiology in France and Italy in November and December." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pande...

What does it mean if the COVID-19 timeline is wrong?

That article is... not informative. It says (paraphrasing) "people didn't pay 91% of their income!" and then just defends that by explaining what a marginal tax system is. Explaining what a marginal tax system is doesn't change the fact that the highest bracket was taxed at 91%.

Unless someone is seriously proposing taxing all brackets at 91%, that article is being very misleading, and arguing against a strawman.
Is that not reasonable? Wouldn't you say that if someone regularly uses racist terms to talk about things that they're probably a racist? Kinda seems like part of the definition to me.

I think most people interpret the task of assigning a percentage to their belief of something like this as equivalent to estimating the percentage of the time they are likely to be wrong. So to say the two are not related is not true.
> It is supremely unfair for the court to assign him full responsibility for the ship, but without any power over it. If the court were serious about the situation they should have handed the ship over to him entirely. He could then put the ship up on the market for whomever wanted to buy it or sell it to a scrapping company.

This doesn't really solve the problem, it just moves the problem around to the free market. What if no one wanted to buy it for scrap? Would he be responsible for cleaning up the situation himself? The court should have impounded the ship using Egypt's own coast guard and billed the company for the coast guard's time.
Agree with you 100% on textile care symbols.

Emoji were certainly written language prior to unicode, but their expansion is unquestionably political since there is no well-defined "natural expression" of emoji that don't exist yet. It doesn't help that their standard [0] on what qualifies for inclusion and what doesn't is very poor, especially this: "Already representable. Can the concept be represented by another emoji or sequence, even if the image is not exactly the same?"

Let's say I want an emoji for glass of water for example. There is already one for glass of milk: . Well, I could use or or maybe even by itself is good enough, so my proposal would not be accepted.

My advice: don't bother waiting for Godot 4 just because it sounds nice. You'd be surprised at how many of the "limitations" of the 3.x branches are not actually problems at all for most use cases (granted, your company may have a very niche use case...)

Deprioritization can depend on your area. I have an always deprioritized plan (not with Verizon) and I don't notice anything. Maybe it seems slower sometimes? When I compare speed tests between myself and my partner who has premium data on the same network, it doesn't seem any different. Deprioritization can really vary.

Verizon's network has the worst consistency when it comes to delivering more than 5Mbps. That should change in 2022 when Verizon gets new spectrum, but in the meantime they have the most customers and the least spectrum.

22GB is a lot of data, but people are using more and more. T-Mobile recently increased its deprioritization limit to 100GB on their main plan and 50GB on their Essentials plan (and now offers unlimited premium data on their more expensive Magenta MAX). I think more people have started to use more data as video-based social media becomes bigger and bigger.
Maybe you're right. This may make people safer, because they no longer need to threaten your life to get your PIN. They just knock you out and cut off your hand. At least you are still alive that way.

>I might not ask about C-specific context, but if you don't know how to write a value to a sequence of bytes, you have no business being a SWE at Google

I know quite a few engineers who passed Google interviews and work there, and they wouldn't know how to do this off the top of their head. I also interviewed with Google a few times, and not once was I asked a question like this.

Also seems weird you would say that they have "no business being an SWE at Google", given that this problem is pretty trivial, and any competent engineer would be able to figure it out after some quick googling. It isn't some difficult algorithmic problem, it is a very specific and small piece of trivia.

It's worth noting that OpenSimplex has different characteristics to Simplex in higher dimensions. Specifically some have noticed a stark tendency to form orbs in 4D, so it's definitely worth comparing the output of all 3 (perlin, simplex, and OpenSimplex) to see if they give you what you're looking for.

Additionally, it may or may not be legally distinct (hasn't been tested).
> Overstating the capabilities of Autopilot (or FSD) when it suits their marketing efforts...

Do they? I’m aware of two general criticisms, but I’m not sure they are about overstating the ability of their existing product?

1) Elon’s pronouncements about FSD are usually over-ambitious both in capabilities and timelines... but that’s when he’s taking about what will be coming, not what had already been delivered to customers.

2) People getting upset with the term ‘autopilot’, as they think the term itself implies greater abilities than it delivers in reality. However, afaik Tesla are very specific about its actual ability.

> It takes gall to sell "Full Self-Driving" as an option for the past 5 years and have so little to show for it. I'm amazed there hasn't been more blowback from buyers.

Yes - agree. I’m interested to see how things turn out in the EU, where Tesla have sold a lot of cars but where even the older FSD software is limited compared to other countries (thanks to EU restrictions) and it seems there’s absolutely no prospect of the newer beta FSD being rolled out.
Yeah this doesn’t quite cut it. Maybe I’m over thinking it, but not everything scales that way.

It gets wonky when you realize the difference between the top schools and the mediocre schools (as a proxy for talent) is 30-40k annually. That’s nothing in the scheme of large deals. I guess looking a bit more, my question could also be worded to ask what changes or becomes less relevant (or more) as the numbers get bigger.
They don't really outperform human experts on real tasks yet (no matter what some superGLUE or other benchmark shows); but in general, once a system can solve a particualr task well, it would be plausible to outperform human experts simply by not making random errors.

If we have multiple human experts annotate a NLP task and measure inter-annotator agreement, it will be far from 100%; part of that will be genuine disagreements or fuzzy gray area, but part of the identified differences will be simply obviously wrong answers given by the experts - everyone makes mistakes. The same applies for many other domains - business process automation, data entry, etc; no employee will produce error-free output in a manual process, no matter how simple and unambiguous the task is.

And for simpler tasks the computer can easily make less mistakes than a human - especially if you measure the human reliability not for a few minutes of focus, but for a whole tedious working day.

Rust was explicitly designed from the beginning for creating maintainable large-scale software.

Here's the original elevator pitch from 2010:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d6b7c96c3eb29b9244ece...

Note the text about "programming in the large".
The reason it isn't such a "major head fuckery" for me personally, is because I don't believe in free will and I think everything is predetermined. So, someone that has an "ill mindset" where they commit a crime worthy of being forever isolated from the general public, is in the sense very ill psychologically and comparable to someone suffering from a mental illness. The psychological pain that someone will suffer from forever by the isolation result because of their ill mindset that made them isolated should allow euthanasia like other countries allow someone with a psychological illness with intolerable suffering the choice to escape the intolerable pain. Anyway to me that's a kinder world than being stuck in pain until death and when it wasn't their choice to develop an ill mindset; similar to all other people with illnesses that are privileged to be able to decide for themselves if euthanasia is the right thing for them personally. Committing suicide without medical help can be terrifying and statistically more favourable to fail where brain damage could likely prevent further attempts.
Agreed, that's why I think the GraphBLAS would be such a great fit for this hardware. The ecosystem is growing pretty fast. There are, for example Python bindings, you can do sparse 'A @ B' on millions of elements in parallel with this wafer-chip. MATLAB 2021a now has GraphBLAS built in, you could drive this thing directly from your notebooks.

I'm sure there's a compiler and low level primitives to really get the maximum performance out of it, but the trade-off maybe worth it in many cases to do it using an abstraction like the linear algebra approach.

I built a SaaS founders community with a companionship operating system
Hi, My name is Mourad, I run saascompanions.com as a side gig. We are as of today, 145 members.

I'm a head of ops and investor at a French VC focused on SaaS/Entreprise. Last year when covid hit, I wanted to create a community for our portfolio startups, I started by running it on a slack.. after few months I've noticed that all current community platforms are chat-based, few have built-in tools, and members need to check in often to not miss important stuff.

My conclusion was that online communities who are built on top of slack, FB groups, etc... are not focused on ROI.

I then went to create a complete operating system for companionship, think the cavalry of Alexander the great.

The difference between a classic community and ours that runs on an O.S, is that we have built-in tools, and I decided to make it async.

For the tools to build the community, I used Notion, Super.so, Airtable, Typeform and some native coding.
