I'm glad my Dad's not flying any longer. He was doing very long (multiple stops for re-fueling, flying on some form of breathing tank[0]) trips. He can go on for hours (and we let him) about stories of how he almost didn't make it home due to X or Y[1].

And he joked that every gauge/gadget on the dashboard that didn't come with the plane was there because "if I had it when X happened, X wouldn't have happened" (...or I wouldn't have left the ground knowing the condition existed, or it would have warned me with well enough time to get to safety before I have to be met by emergency vehicles on the tarmac).

Funny enough, he would get a little uncomfortable flying commercial. I'm not sure if he was putting on a show for us kids or if he was serious but he'd say he "didn't like someone else in charge of the plane". My Dad flew GA (alone) a few times a week most weeks, so he was unusually experienced for a small plane pilot.

[0] He had a breathing apparatus that allowed him to fly at higher altitudes in the unpressurized cabin, IIRC, but I'm not a pilot.

[1] Except, when he tells it, he was never in any danger. Doesn't matter if he's hanging an arm out the window trying to manually spin the prop, "it was always under control.". Uh huh.
Space is far, FAR less crowded, and you won't ever see something big coming at closing rates of 50,000 mph unless it's huge.

rofl you know someone is crypto-sick when they say fist currency only works for "a handful of rich people."
I don't think so. Had Tesla sold more than 10% of their Bitcoin then sure, but as it stands right now they're still quite exposed to the currency and this new announcement by Musk, and his pivot to Dogecoin for SpaceX is much more likely to be a net-negative for their Bitcoin holdings.

I did some Googling and I can't find whether or not Tesla holds any Dogecoin. I don't think so? All I can find is that Elon personally bought some Dogecoin for his child.

> Money buys time, and time has value

Only when you look at it from the business owner perspective, who can simply buy more labor (time) to make more money.

For individuals, the only thing we have in this world is time, and it's finite. When it's all gone, it's all over for us. That means time is the most valuable thing possible to individuals.

If and when we choose we can sell some of that time for money. But money in not what we want, and it doesn't give us direct value. Time is what we all want, because sooner or later it runs out.
In my experience, I've found the lack of polymorphism to be the larger challenge in building complex business systems in Go.

Managing a bunch of polymorphic entities in Go often requires implementing a bunch of interfaces in various types. You then have to write a bunch of mapping logic for every type, driven by type assertions. Apply this in a large codebase that encapsulates transport, data access, and so on and you end up with a ton of complexity.

I personally agree that Blockchain or distributed ledgers are overhyped for use cases where simple, centralized approaches to trust would go a lot farther.

The one example I can point to where maybe existing systems were improved through blockchain-like technology would be Certificate Transparency https://certificate.transparency.dev/howctworks/ yet even then there's a lot of trust in browsers run by centralized actors to ensure the system works as expected. The system is further documented in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/... and https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6962.html Also, https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-certificate-transpar... is a good read.

This is my guess:

1. AMD is having major supply issues and is not allocating their supply towards laptops. Laptops are just not a huge priority for them right now when all of the consoles, desktop CPUs, and GPUs are flying off the shelves.

2. Intel not only has consistent supply but Intel frequently works with "experimental" projects like this helping OEMs with design. Complete speculation but I would not be surprised if Intel had a hand in the design of this laptop.
My gut feeling is that a deconfliction policy will appear on the charts and in the airport's procedures. Just because something can be done correctly, if the momentary-cockup-consequence is potentially the death of a large number of people, it's a good idea to make sure that there's some sort of defence in depth.

I'm surprised they don't have a safety check to assure that someone is actually in the driver's seat. I mean my non-Tesla vehicle from 2013 has sensors that alert if I'm in the driver's seat without a seatbelt. Likewise it has sensors that alert if there are any passengers without a seatbelt. How hard would it be to have such a simple sensor and bring the car to an immediate halt if the driver is removed from the seat?

Samsung Boosts Investment in Logic Chip Businesses to $151B by 2030
As a commenter on the article stated and summed up better than I've seen here in these comments (maybe Sam is one of you here) a native doesn't at all mean that it's someone who knows the ins and outs of today's modern computers. A native is simply someone born right into using. These kids may not know anything about how their phone chips work, or how their school laptops work, but they had cheap computers in their pocket and laptops in school where us older generations didn't have any of this stuff growing up. Digital native meaning that they are born into it and everyone is using it. This has nothing to do at all with being born in the 1970s, and having used computers as the odd guy out in the mid 1980's. That's cool and all, but nothing to do with what makes a digital native.

I fetched the article at 11:32 AM EDT (per my browser history) and the title and headline were as posted for me.

I'm curious — for startups that are funded, what do you do with your cash? Say, if you got $100k in pre-seed. Do you create a bank for your startup (e.g. First Republic) and put it in a cash account?

Even as a blockchain non-fan, those computations are necessary to produce the desirable thing, and the same could be said for protein folding. There are a lot of great and devastating criticisms of blockchains, but the environmental concern is more of a proxy or even dogwhistle for a general political objection to cryptocurrencies - even reasonable objections in the context of their worldview. Greenwashing those objections seems like a canard.

Why say this? It's a big capital-intensive project. A nuclear power plant is profitable if you exclude the cost of building the reactor, but that's the problem - you can't exclude it, and breakeven time is a big part of cost-benefit analysis.

What was breakeven time for the TGV? That would convince me more.

dfinity is pretty centralized. they cut corners and basically hand-pick their mining data centers. they only qualify as "decentralized" because they work with multiple unrelated data centers. i am pretty sure multiple hard problems that they need to solve to reach true decentralization have been punted because they hand pick their miners.

also, more than decentralization, they mostly sell their dev-friendly programming model (Motoko, wasm) but a centralized version hosted by AWS would be cheaper faster better. Lunch waiting to be eaten.

most people making cloud software don't need the decentralization. Dfinity papers over this by having their president go pontificate to make it seem like the fate of the world depends on it.
Capital gains tax is rarely if ever a major consideration in investment decisions. The vast majority of professional investors are interested in cash flows, not capital gains.

> The simplicity of Go did not result in simpler systems.

I echo this 100%. I worked at an employer who heavily used golang. The resulting projects were honestly a mess, yet they pushed through.

What's ironic, is that they ended up reinventing the wheel on so many different things, including DI and an entire application framework. Millions of dollars spent writing and maintaining these libraries, where Java already had them ages ago.

As you point out, the modeling capability of golang is extremely subpar. It results in verbose code that is very sparse, lots of code to implement something that would have taken a few lines in a language like Java and C#, let alone something more dense like Scala.

The way interfaces are handled in golang makes it very annoying to try to find out which types implement said interface. It puts a lot of pressure on the IDE to search the entire code base, and you end up with types you don't even care about. It clearly shows that the golang authors did not have IDEs in mind when writing the language, which is just absurd as it's supposedly a language designed for "programming in the large". Anyone who used "goland" knows what I'm talking about. Try refactoring a type, and have the IDE scan the entire code base to look for comment strings, which it has to because golang has no notion of doc strings like Java or C#.

Add features like records, pattern matching, enums (the amount of code that had to be written to implement something to emulate enums was just absurd and frustrating to deal with, not to mention error prone).

The concurrency aspect of golang is decent (though it will be even better in Java). Other than that, the language doesn't really have anything going for it other than having a large brand name backing it.
So a bad actor gets a fraudulent invention registered. In the current system some people think really hard and then consider deleting it. This has many flaws, but the flaws are in the human bits. Where they write down their decisions is an implementation derail.

How will blockchain make it better? Unless you've figured out how to have a computer figure out what inventions should qualify for protection and what infringes on them, I don't see it.

Agreed. Zen3 would’ve been killer and cooler to boot.

I wonder if it is a supply concern? Zen2 laptops also ~seemed~ in scarce supply for quite some time last year, even after the launch.

How to tease out Intel’s anti-competitive belligerence versus actual supply issues? Zen3 on desktop seems to be regularly available, but desktop is lower volume than mobile.

This really deserves an AMD variant.

I would suspect Intel has juicy bundle discounts, especially if this is a part of the EVO program (which I don’t think it publicly is).
> Rather than rehash all this here, there are a lot of posts about ProtonMail and the foundational claims they make about being a company operated out of Switzerland. I'd suggest reading those critiques.

> The process of becoming a surveillance state is a slow one, you don't just wake up with government operated/connected cameras on every corner.

Can you give any indication that this is more of an issue in Switzerland compared to other countries?

This is very vague and looks like it is more of a critique of ProtonMail instead of Switzerland as a whole.
16-35 is pretty common for pros too. It's a very versatile lens - has VR so it's good for run and gun shooting at events, takes screw on filters so it's good for when you need to get fancy but don't want to lug around a huge filter kit, and has a zoom range that pairs well with lots of other lenses if you have a two camera set-up. It's definitely not the sharpest lens out there, but it's more than sufficient for all but the most demanding gigs - honestly it's probably amateurs that more often demand better, because they shoot to their own high standards rather than just meeting the needs of clients.

So I'm very surprised that Nikon's discontinuing it - the 14-24 meets a completely different need, and the 18-35 isn't nearly as versatile despite being sharper, due to the lack of VR and the missing 2mm.

I suppose on the mirrorless side the 14-30 f4 isn't a bad replacement, but for DSLR users it's a significant gap.

This is not what the OP is suggesting.

Small majority means a large minority who don't. It's simple: just work for those. You're also talking about the future; right now, the majority is remote. Get any one of those, then simply don't ever relocate and let them shoot themselves in the foot if they want to fire you.

Never occurred to me that this prefix might have commonly been pronounced this way.
