Yes.

Whenever I get a meeting I don't understand why I was invited to, I just ask whoever invited me, or my boss if customer did, what my purpose is in the meeting.

Almost always I can avoid the full meeting with the understanding that they can call me in if they need my expertise. When that happens it's typically just a couple of questions and I can go back.

Sure some weeks can get a bit busy with meetings if we have a lot of projects going on, but I'm almost never in a meeting where I feel I'm wasting time.
This matches my take.

Note your 4 options is what will happen to prices. If he chooses to buy consumption goods, those things will rise in price by some amount. If he chooses stocks, the person that sold that stock to him will want a higher price than before that $1B was handed to Bezos and he increased the demand for stocks by $1B. Likewise for the other two. These are just supply and demand curves. Basic macroeconomics 101.

So we can see that when new money is created in an economy, it must necessarily be split within all the asset classes according to the decisions made by the person given the money. The person given that money proceeds to do the same thing in a chain of purchases.

So now when we zoom back and look at the Federal Reserves mandate we can see it much more clearly. "We need to ensure that when we print more money than goods are created, that money is chosen to be put into stocks and not consumption goods.". They do so by directly affecting the prices of stocks by buying company bonds, which then is directly used to buyback stocks. In effect, the Federal Mandate is wealth inequality.

The big problem with that is its a house of cards. Once you start supporting inequality, the greater inequality means that you have even less room to mess up and smaller and smaller hedges will have larger and larger impacts. And if the wealthy choose to go against their overall utility and cashout today, the entire system collapses. If the wealthy work out that someone else can cashout and they become the bagholder (like BOA margin-calling Archegos Capital), then that will trigger themselves to do so to save risk.

So we can see that the Federal Reserve's plan does not in fact deal with the risk, it pushes it forward as a bigger risk. The Federal Reserve is just a Martingale.

It might be possible for this system to last for hundreds of years, it's already worked for 50. I have no idea how close we are to some limit.
Don't like congress critters sticking their nose so deeply in business. All of this was probably preventable if the SEC and other agencies had done their jobs. Don't change the rules for the future to address the current bad apples; just enforce the current rules.

They designed their own hardware, operating systems and utilities back in the 70s, and they seem to really like optimizing software so they must run quite fast.

But they say they have been "silenced" by big corporations, and that the mexican government doesn't like them and that's why they haven't been able to sell their computers.

I wish that they would release most of their hardware/software with a free license. I imagine their stuff can be used for educational purposes.

Resources Request: The Evolution of the Semiconductor Industry from 1990
Are there any good resources about the modern semiconductor industry, from 1990-today.

The context I am coming from is two fold. 1) There are a ton of great canonical resources about the early semiconductor industry (1958-1990) and the rise of Japanese firms, particularly in the DRAM sector. But I have not seen good books/reports/resources on developments since then, which have notably involved a huge resurgence in the U.S. industry, with industry stalwarts like Qualcomm & Broadcom being founded (along with numerous other startups gobbled up by them) and the resurgence of older companies like TI & Intel. 2) There was a shift towards new types of chips, notably those for consumer electronics and communication applications, incl. DSP chips, digital baseband (eg, Qualcomm CDMA/LTE chips), mobile SoCs, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Chips, ASICs for Routers/Switches, etc. Compared to the canonical Microprocessor books, I have found these relatively less covered.

Does anyone know of books/histories/reports which cover some of the topic I outlined above?
I think this is mostly right. I'm currently enrolled in same the GaTech CS Masters that the author will be starting.

I have had just two courses that strained my machine out of the 7 I've completed. Reinforcement learning in particular had one project that really tested my machine. (I trained my agents on CPU, so that was definitely a factor). Even then, my agents were training in fairly reasonable times (5-6 hours max for a grid search). If I'd taken the time to vectorize every computation, I could have probably gotten the time down at least 10x.

This is on AMD Ryzen 1700x - a pretty speedy chip but not top of the line - and 16 gb ram.

Powerful hardware is a convenience more than anything in this program. It allows you to focus less on optimizing your solution.
I'm not sure what you mean? It is completely possible for a company with a superior product to be a monopoly. Google has a large market share because their products are generally better than their competitors.
I believe the key difference with using a tool like Skribilo is that you have the full computational power of Scheme and can generate dynamic content. Other tools may be equal to just the writing aspect but this is Scheme turned inside out. Instead of a language creating content; this is content blocks interwoven with language output.
Because in a monolith, the problem can easily extend into all parts of the system, making it very difficult to continue feature work whilst fixing the problem.

In a microservice, in the absolute worst case (let's say a foundational technology suddenly becomes unsuitable) you have to rebuild just that service.

Work on other services can continue uninterrupted in the meantime.

I agree, it's confusing enough to make the whole reactive concept less approachable. It'd help if the output didn't look so much like the cell itself, but it's not entirely clear how to differentiate them visually.
You're arguing that "small" (<$80K) amounts of money aren't worth investing even at a very high APR. This is pretty contrary to most investment advice.
"Big RCT Fundamentalism" is an interesting term. Reductionist positions are not uncommon.

A test of 20 people would very probably not have uncovered the unusual clotting problem in AZ, which is 1:100,000 order occurance. Yet, it has shaped public policy.

Tests of the order 1,000 would confirm AZ worked. Tests of the order 10,000 confirmed Pfizer and Moderna worked "better"

The PEG problem in mRNA, like the clotting problem, needs tests of the order 1m to become apparent.

If Ivermectin and HCQ had benefits, they'd be clearer if better RCT at scale were done. The benefit of steroids (for instance) were so clear, they were able to decide the protocols from thousands of tests (from what I read) which is maybe what "big RCT fundamentalism" tells us: These trials of 10 or 20 people, observational, are too strongly distorted by one and two person effects to say what the underlying trend is.

In primary school we were warned away from small sample sizes in basic stats. I'm not seeing anything here to make me think this was wrong. 100 people tell you more than 10 do, and 1000 confirms the accuracy. 1 person variance in 100 is not altering the fundamentals the way 1 person variance in 10 is.

Whats so "fundamentalist" about this?
That deal was announced last October, but does not seem to be working yet. Or even in test. Searching the Audius API docs returns zero references to Solana.
Good point-- You're right, it's mainly ICOs that the SEC has cracked down on. But then very few coins have been given "currency" status, leaving most in regulatory limbo. And the CRT requirement along with suspicious activity requirements already means the government has knowledge of anything but minor transactions if they touch US institutions.

I think governments will be perfectly fine with crypto becoming just another part of the financial infrastructure. And I think the countries dominant in the financial industry will squash anything that looks like a threat to their ability to control their own monetary policy.
The author says “A tongue in cheek walk-through”
I think you're confused. 401k withdrawals are always taxed, even when you're over the age limit. The tax advantage is that you aren't taxed on the way in.

The benefit is that you don't get hit with the additional 10% penalty for early withdrawal from a 401k. The Roth IRA is irrelevant; it's just a vehicle for you get money out of the 401k without the penalty.

You'd do this as you enter early retirement - like with a normal 401k withdrawal, in this hypothetical your tax bracket will be far lower in early retirement (and not working) as you withdraw.

Basically, by doing the backdoor Roth ladder you get to pretend there's no penalty on withdrawing early. No penalty. Yes, you still get taxed.

It’s seems straightforward to have random testing of the balls throughout a game. All the umpire needs to do is ask the catcher to hand it over. If they’re suspecting this is happening and they’re not doing it, it’s intentional.

Does the public find the defense heavy game more enjoyable? I’d imagine more hits and homers would liven things up.
Kind of like asking the cost of a car + groceries.

You can pick up an old tape drive, like an LTO5, for about $1,000. You can LTO-5 tapes for about $15 each, with a capacity of 1.5 TB.

This setup puts the cost at around $10/TB, compared to somewhere around $30/TB for disk. Since you save $20/TB by using tape, it takes you 50TB before the total setup is less expensive than disk. Plug in your own numbers if you like.

You'll want to get a fiber channel card too, but that's easy enough.

Newer generations of LTO have marginally cheaper media (per TB) when you're buying in small quantities, but the drives are more expensive, and it's not uncommon to see poor capacity utilization in tape systems. The big players with lots of data will get newer LTO generations because they can save on library space, vault space, and drive time.

There is some evidence that a ketogenic diet might be of benefit to cancer patients:

> In KDs, the 4:1 ratio of high fat to low carbohydrates mimics the metabolic effects of starvation (Figure 2). These diets slow cancer by inhibiting insulin/IGF and downstream intracellular signaling pathways, such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Ketogenic diets also amplify adenosine monophosphate—activated protein kinase (AMPK), which inhibits aerobic glycolysis and suppresses tumor proliferation, invasion, and migration. Mouse models of metastatic cancer show that exogenous ketones themselves have direct cytotoxic effects on tumor viability.5 β-hydroxybutyrate can modify chromatin by binding to and thereby inhibiting histone deacetylase, ultimately repressing transcription and curbing cancer cell proliferation (Figure 1).

[0]: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6375425/

This same article also mentions that a ketogenic diet can promote weight gain in cancer patients, which is a concern because frequently such patients lose weight as a result of both their disease and the treatment for it.

Although not a scientific paper, there is some suggestion in [1] that both fasting and keto can have benefits in terms of making chemotherapy both more tolerable and effective. The suggestion here is that driving down insulin and blood sugar may be the mechanism, which seems naively to mean it effectively "starves out" the cancer. Note however that both keto and fasting act on the insulin/IGF, AMPK and mTOR pathways, so there is a moderately large web of cellular/biological interactions to untangle here.

As a side note, the insulin/IGF, AMPK, and mTOR pathways are frequently implicated in animal studies of general longevity as well. We don't know the extent to which this stuff transfers over to humans, but, if you're a mouse, we can extend your life dramatically by playing around with these metabolic pathways.

Seems most commenters on HN for this thread didn’t read the article.

We’re at a daily occurrence now of these “I can never go back to the office” threads. I thought HN was supposed to be an area of intellectual stimulation - not droning on about the same thing for months with no end.
Oddly, I just watched a rise and fall video yesterday (posted above somewhere already) on this that brought back memories.

My dad oddly noticed this and got us into mini discs with an entertainment system that had it, and then a small walkman player that I used to record songs and such onto it. It was so cool for me as an pre-teen. (My dad got into it in 1997ish)

I now want to just find a single MD to just keep as a memory, but they are costly to buy, even as a 5 pack.
Thank for your reply.

I see we agree on most points except the final point which is ok because I was not arguing whether or not the British empire supplanted a culture that had violence - that topic of discussion would is incredibly complex and I wouldn't be able to make sweeping statements on it. But I can see that you have proven that perhaps some indigenous nation's in North America had a culture of violence.
Of course I do that to and did that before the pandemic. I review all code commits and review reports and results from the system. I also track completed tasks and assign them complexity level. Am I stupid or something? How would I know who is completing tasks or not. This was how we operated before WFH, the change is implementing direct surveillance telemetry on employee activity on the system. Another improvement is that collaboration is all now over internal chat, which I can review these discussions and get a sense of level of collaboration. When I overlay all the information it gives me an extremely good idea of what is actually happening.

Whiteboard area in a conference room has some challenges to recreate. That said, we've found collaborative editing replaces a lot of sloppy handwriting and people capturing with smartphones and recreating after the meeting. To say nothing of the fact, that wealthy SV companies complaining that they have to structure their entire companies arounf in-person because virtual whiteboards are a really hard problem should be basically ridiculed.

I actually agree that in-person get-togethers are useful. I'm just not convinced they can't be handles as quarterly events in many situations--as many companies with distributed workforces already do.

Maybe a stupid question but did you close your eyes?

I think you need a really high dose to see more than a bit of distortion when you have your eyes open. But with you eyes closed, your mind can run wild, making colorful visual much more likely in fact, you may not even need drugs for that.

Seeing things that aren't here, true hallucinations, don't happen often with psychedelics, and they are mostly caused by deliriants (ex: datura), or body reactions like fever. These are not fun and deliriants are not controlled substance for that reason, being classified as poisons instead. Psychedelics cause pseudohallucinations, it means they alter your perception but you are aware that what you are seeing is not real.
The problem is that the "I like the office and everyone else should too because it legitimizes and popularizes my choices" crowd will never say that out loud so you don't know which arguments are in earnest.

There's definitely a wave of late entrants trying to muscle their way into the PoS game, and I see Solana as one of those; one of the more credible ones, but with its distribution engineered to make it very controlled from the beginning.

From a speculative standpoint these are good if you can sell into the hype cycle, but I've seen enough of them come and go that I wouldn't try to hold. Even a little bit of centralization sucks a lot of air out of the room.
Firejail is by far the most mature for sandboxing desktop/phone applications.

Or just switch to a DE that is willing to be receptive to the needs of its users. Again, GNOME used to support 2-d workspaces. This feature was removed, deliberately, by the GNOME developers. That's their prerogative, but don't try to fool users by claiming that extensions are the solution. Because extensions break. Frequently. Often. And so they can't be depended upon. If it's a critical part of your workflow and usage model, and the DE doesn't support it except via an extension API, then run away. Run far, far away.

More generally, GNOME has been in the feature removal business for a long time. So even if something is in the supported feature set today, there is no guarantee that it won't be removed tomorrow. And that's one of the ways in which it's not like kernel development. Once a userspace visible feature lands, it won't get removed. Linus will yell at you and revert your changes if you break users in that way. GNOME is frequently removing features, and so as a result, they can't be trusted. Moving something to an extension is a negative value add to users. Worse, it breaks trust with your user base. Because GNOME has done this to me, it's going to be a long, long time before I trust GNOME again.
Is this a problem in Windows? My dev work doesn't come near OS-specific issues, so I don't know.

It's mostly Python most of the time, from my vantage point. Several of the GPU projects I'm watching have GPU kernels contained inside of python frameworks. So the typical user only has to change the python part of the code.

Can someone whose company is doing hybrid WFH share a bit about how zoom and in-person meetings are scheduled and happen?

Do people coordinate their in-person days so that meetings can be in-person?

How do zoom meetings happen when some employees are in a meeting room together, and others are on zoom?

It’s easy enough to have a big screen in that room to put remote participants on-screen, but how do remote people know who is talking or see all around the room? Where are cameras placed?
