Matt Levine wrote about something similar today in his column "Money Stuff" (the third story, "Tax Law"):

> You have zero-basis stock that is “really” worth $100, but that happens to be trading at $300 right now because the market doesn't know the bad news that you know. If you sell it, you get $300, pay 20% tax, keep $240, and go to prison for insider trading. Or you can wait until the news is public, sell it for $100, pay 20% tax, keep $80 and avoid prison.

> But if you donate it while it’s still trading at $300, you get a $300 tax deduction, which is worth $120, which is more than $80. And you don’t go to prison because you never traded the stock while you had inside information.

That's the beauty of it, if the concrete performance improvements don't seem like a worthwhile tradeoff you don't have to use it. The idea that everyone should just contribute to one package instead of creating their own solutions is just silly, we are not able to dictate what people code up in their own time. Besides, there are dozens and sometimes hundreds of active contributors to every popular open source package, just adding more developers doesn't necessarily make things better, not to mention that the necessary quality control and code review demands for mature projects means many contributions are often misguided or not useful.

Superintelligence Risk Project: Conclusion
>if you set up a regulatory system where you're the only one with the registration needed to sell fish

This doesn't happen though. There's nothing stopping you from setting up your own fish whole selling company if you think that is lucrative. Sure there will be regulatory hurdles, but if you can make a case that you can do it for cheaper while still making a profit, you can find an investor to pay for your lawyers.

The fisherman wants to sell all their fish with a price that they know in advanced. However, the packer only wants to the fish that they know that they can sell to supermakets, and doesn't want to buy more than they have to. Without someone assuming the risk of holding a bunch of frozen fish for a long time, the fisherman wouldn't being fishing as much, which means less fish ends up with the customer, and less value being created.

I find the arrogance in this blog post palpable and disgusting. I also see it as in line with past Oracle statements I've read, and Oracle behavior personally reported to me (e.g., the treatment of BEA employees when Oracle took BEA over).

When you write in and ask them, please steal a million dollars and give it to me, while they might be able to figure out a way to steal and give it to you, for policy and job performance reasons they are unable to. They say - "I'm unable to do that for you". Who cares if they somehow could - we all understand they have chosen not to.

We are unable to reinstate your account = person responding does not have policy authority to reinstate your account and the exceptional circumstance was not identified.

IMHO The nice thing about futexes is not that they allow to fast path uncontended sinchronization.

The userspace fast path can in principle be implemented on top of any kernel only synchronization primitive (a pipe for example).

The nice thing about futexes is that they do not consume any kernel resource when uncontended, i.e there is no open or close futex syscalls. Any kernel state is created lazily when needed (i.e on the first wait) and destroyed automatically when not needed (i.e. when the last waiter is woken up). Coupled with the minimal userspace space requirements (just a 32 bit word) it means that futexes can be embedded very cheaply in a lot of places.
> Money and labor are both more abstract than fruit, so there is a little bit of leeway to interpret employment transactions as being non-zero-sum.

This paragraph gets into something i've been pondering about GDP/societal wealth. Imagine we have a carpenter and a plumber both sitting idle and who needs eachothers' services. If they cannot agree upon an exchange or price then the system loses out on the potential productivity. The system as a whole is made poorer by actors being disagreeable.

I have often wondered how rich life could be if we were more agreeable to give to the other the gifts of our marginally unused productivity (rather than giving it to netflix, facebook, instagram, and tik-tok...)?

Would poverty be erased, or other desirable things be achievable?

Now look at the ideas of a minimum wage or of being frugal. Both are a kind of refusal to participate in the economy leaving behind marginal potential value creation. If we refuse to spend our money it doesnt fund development of projects, if we refuse to work at a certain rate we lose out on the goods that could have been built.

Anyways that's a musing I was reminded of by this piece.

This is an interesting article but it starts off on the wrong foot for me:

> This is patently ridiculous. Every single dollar of compensation paid out is done transactionally: it is used to purchase labor. In a typical transaction, no value is created.

This, as I understand it in a limited fashion, is not true. There is a concept of the velocity of money in which more value than the initial transaction is created:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money

This is, in part I believe, why a nation's GDP can exceed it's nominal cash in circulation. In particular, the Great Depression was a period of low monetary velocity and yet staggering inflation; the term "stagflation" (stagnation + inflation) was coined to describe this phenomena.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagflation

Which in turn calls into question the following criticism:

> But however you look at it, taking full credit for every single dollar of compensation as value creation— as if Amazon, and not the US Mint, created those dollars, and as if the many, many millions of hours of labor consumed by the company in return were valueless— is a ghastly overstatement.

While I would never want to make it seem like Amazon is some sort of altruistic entity who simply makes the lives of those on it's payroll better, it is not as ghastly an overstatement as claimed. There is a reason recovery from the Great Depression involved job creation through The New Deal and war-time production and not simply the US Treasury "creating those dollars".

These kinds of economic inconsistencies continue throughout the post. In particular there seems to be a pervasive belief that Monetary Supply is finite/controlled by the Federal Reserve and therefore cannot be used to measure value creation:

> But the value you created isn’t the money. The money already existed and was floating around the economy long before you picked up the brush. The value you created was in the art, which is now in someone else’s hands.

This is a false premise. Dollar-value estimations of created value like GDP are often imperfect measurements, but they do exist; furthermore, they often exceed the nominal amount of financial notes in circulation. There also certainly is additional value that isn't captured by a dollar value, such as the value an owner places on a created piece of art, but that is not the same as no monetary value created.

I don't know who the author is, but even my limited grasp of economic theory makes me question the main thrust of their arguments. But I also know my grasp of economic theory is threadbare at best, so perhaps I am completely off base.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a company successfully sued on the basis that they've been promising HR is for employees when it is not at some point in the future.

I've seen many junior employees hold the wrong expectation of HR in terms of who's on their side. I can't directly fault them at the times that the company is pushing that version of the world.

Not directly, no. The underlying mathematics kind of can, but you'd need dedicated circuitry (or bit-hacking) for it because of the floating point parts, and it would fall over around subnormals.
This has never happened.

You may be thinking of batterygate in which handsets with degraded batteries throttled themselves to prevent brownouts. Replacing the battery returned the handset to full speed. The feature still exists today, except now (in reaction to the controversy) you can turn it off if you prefer random reboots when your battery is old.

Thought-provoking article and interesting story in of itself.

I can't help but think that this is just a VC-funded version of traditional media, where the # of "sufficiently talented" people (i.e the supply) vastly outstrips the number of full-time well-paying positions (the demand), and therefore creates a massive power disparity in the labor market. Most employers will operate in a way like this because they can.

What's surprising here is that we'd think of podcasting as new media. Why would really talented people work for Gimlet vs. trying to get their own shows off the ground?

Financial security is probably the only reason. In fact, it's cited as THE reason this guy went to Gimlet both times. Holding his nose both times. Even the 2nd time, knowing what the company was.

So let's talk about Substack. (Didn't you know? All discussions of online media MUST go back to Substack these days).

This is why Substack is genius. Give the producers more direct access to monetizing their creative efforts. Even give the most promising ones an advance on their efforts to create some short-term financial security so they can do their thing. Let the talented people control their output and business.

Otherwise, in markets where labor vastly outstrips demand, you are fodder for the people with sufficient resources/capital to take the chance. And minority / disadvantaged folks are more at prey to it.
> thus should know better

I would posit that perhaps they know better than you.

When pure performance is the concern it makes sense to go to a more performant language, like Go. But every time your JavaScript build tool moves away from JavaScript you close yourself off to a huge pool of potential code contributors and make it a lot more difficult to customise. So I think Vite has it just right: optimise the really intensive stuff, leave the rest more available and more editable.
The general response would be that, because of barriers to entry and economies of scale, the optimal number of firms in some industries is 1, and thus that firm should be regulated or run by the government in order to prevent it from exploiting its immense market power.
From Dr. Rasmussen’s thread it seems like this is most likely a manufacturing error rather than a design error.
