I've followed r/collapse for at least 4 years. In the beginning, it all sounded completely crazy. There were a lot of different theories about how it would all come apart, most of them nutty, some legit. The more legit theories have been sifted to the top as world events like COVID, massive recessions, shortages, local natural disasters, and global climate change have come to the fore. Couple that with the political instability over the Trump years and that insane media atmosphere, and collapse has basically gone mainstream.

At first it was articles that would be on r/collapse starting to show up on r/worldnews and r/politics. Then they started showing up on hackernews and now on the New York Times.

Collapse is happening. But it's not showy or sudden, but more like watching a corpse rot. Big systems fail slowly, grinding down their parts. A giant spaceship in freefall is pretty slow due to the scale. We're not in freefall yet, but all the moorings of modern life are coming undone.

Buckle up!
I remember someone took one of those global models and noticed all the equations were time reversible. So they asked "what does the model 'predict' the past looked like?"

And it turned out the model predicted the world population was infinite sometime in the 1800s. :)

I have very little faith in any of these models.
The ones willing to pay are the ones the advertisers want to track, so that won't work.
Can you provide evidence of this? My reading of the ADA was that employers can ask for whatever they want to but are ultimately required to take a doctors certification. No one, as far as I know, is required to disclose their medical records in order to be eligible for the ADA if a doctor is will to certify.

NWA song as a data point, wow
I see that as a sledgehammer and walnut issue. I try to be consistent in naming documents, either in the file hierarchy or in individual file-naming itself. Sometimes a filename can be 30 or so characters long. So be it.

Twice a day, my system performs a cronjob which makes an up-to-date list of all the files in the system. I then use a small bash script called 'flook' which can take up to 5 search terms, is case-insensitive, and searches through that file-list.

That is what works for me.

“One of the easiest ways to hate something you love is to turn it into your job: taking the thing that keeps you alive spiritually and turning it into the thing that keeps you alive literally” — Austin Kleon

I have never read this quote before, but I've been saying the same exact thing to people for the last 20 years.

A corollary is: "Do what you love and the money will come." No. This may be true for a small percentage of people, but not for 95%. First, running a business is completely different from a hobby. And secondly, if there's no market, then there's no market. You're not going to turn left-handed toenail clippers for midgets who are between the ages of 17 and 22 years old. There's just not a big enough market. That's a silly example, but there's just some things where there's not enough buyers, or to reach the buyers, it's too expensive.

I listened to that siren song of turning what you love into a job, and that was the worst mistake of my life. I grew to hate it.

Let's say you bake pies and love it. It's your thing. So someone suggests that you do it for a living, because your pies are so great, and you decide to do it. Well. You start doing it commercially. Instead of doing pies when you wish, you MUST wake up at 3am every morning to start baking your fresh pies for the next day (which would eliminate me instantly...3 am, pssh.). You have employees so you have to deal with payroll. And what happens if you get a contract to deliver 500 pies to nearby grocery stores every day? And then, because you need such great quantities, you get substandard ingredients and have to use them if that's all there is, something you'd never do if you baked for yourself...you'd just wait for better ingredients. It goes on and on, whether you sell pies or services, or whatever it is.
I did memorize the sequence and still have it memorized, but I have to enumerate them. They don't have a "look" to them.

I wonder what the state and terms of long-running contracts are there, and if this could end up with Intel fulfilling old fab contracts for AMD...

(As far as I know, AMD always held long contracts, partially with exclusivity, with GF for fabrication, although this has weakened due GF falling behind and not meeting its promised process targets)
They certainly have their problems. They're functions that get invoked without any code to explicitly invoke them. You have to consider whether a destructor can be invoked on a partially constructed object. You have to consider whether a destructor can be invoked more than once. You have to consider providing the ability to not call the destructor for performance. etc etc

It's understandable why a language trying to be close to C in spirit does not have them.
> One reason for this is that in Herrington’s words, “the scenarios do not significantly diverge until 2020.” After that point, the scenarios start to diverge drastically ...

This sounds more like a selection bias. If any model drastically diverged from reality earlier, then it would have been already discarded, and we won't be talking about it. So, we'll be only talking about models that start to diverge around 2020 or later.

I.e., the fact that these models start to diverge around "now" doesn't mean we're nearing some ominous inflection point - it's just a consequence of "hindsight is 20/20."
> 2. It's not clear to me that this is entirely man-made (eg higher Solar output). Of course, this may not even matter one way or the other as we still have to deal with the results;

Then you should read more widely, because we have been in a sustained period of decreasing solar activity for the last decade[1]. This trend will actually end and become a contributor again some time around 2030. This will be bad, because warming has continued unabated in the mean time and the increased contribution will last for decades.

Maybe,but i think that can go both ways - bad things really do happen, often due to causes that are easily predictable with hind sight. I feel like assuming that the world cant end is just as unrealistic as always assuming the world will definitely end due to issue of the day (i mean "end" in a metaphorical way)

There are several options

Poor man's:

func make_foo_with_mock_bar() *Foo {
return &Foo {
bar: make_mock_bar(),
baz: make_baz(),
quux: make_quux(),
}
}

Explicit injection:

func make_foo(bar: Bar, baz: Baz, quux: Quux) *Foo {
return &Foo {
bar: bar,
baz: baz,
quux: quux,
}
}

Or use some DI framework

Even if you have reservations about where verbosity lies, I don't see how this affects the cleanup side.

I'm sorry. You're right. I did a stupid mistake by confounding the vm version with Pharo version. I can't edit my post anymore, but please, anyone reading this, disregard the "Those benchmarks are quite old, from Pharo 5 in 2017" part.
pacman is pretty amazing package manager - I would be curious to know more about your dependency issues.
I suppose it could have been a temporary bug in Manjaro (which started as an Arch derivative but turned into a separate distro with links to Arch - the repositories are different).

I would recommend following the wiki and installing Arch Linux (I know, no UI) over Manjaro to have a true Arch experience.

That said, AUR is the reason I use arch linux, because there are scripts to install pretty much anything in a frictionless way.

When installing esoteric stuff the dpkg / apt repositories dance gets old pretty quickly on debian derivates. Often I would just install things on the system instead of creating my own deb. On Arch Linux I can often find a package in AUR (or quickly write a PKGBUILD).

Upgrading the system every few months and breaking a lot of things all at once (making a reinstall the easiest option) is also not very appealing in my book.
I prefer the rolling release model which gives me the latest update immediately and let me fix things once at a time.

That said, anyone has its own preferences, no need to bad mouth distros.
Peak Oil, in the very narrow sense of there being a point of maximum oil production before it starts declining as what remains becomes harder and thereby more expensive to extract, will probably happen eventually.

The broader hypothesized 'Peak Oil' phenomenon wherein the decline in oil production causes enormous societal upheaval and possibly the collapse of industrial civilization will almost certainly not happen, because as it turns out the reserves of relatively easy to extract oil are pretty large, plus a large amount of additional reserves (shale, tar sands, etc) become economical to extract at a relatively small increase in price. Add in the fact that electric cars will probably do away with most of the market for oil over the next couple of decades, and it's likely that, by the time we run out of oil, it will have been used only as an input for various industrial processes for a couple of centuries.

And of course, this was the same argument used against the 'Peak Oil' idea when it was a big thing, it's just come into better focus with the passage of time.

This doesn't work with the third example, ie where the set of mocks is not the same for every test. This suggestion devolves to the original code that we were trying to refactor.
It seems to me that a certain amount of growth comes from further specialization. At one end of the scale, you have a few people in the clan or tribe specialize in turning rocks into spear points, and others specialize in hunting, and the whole group eats better. At the other end of the scale, you have a globally-integrated supply chain.

At the other end of the scale. That is, there's no further to go. All the benefits that can be reaped from this process, we've already reaped. There is no further growth to gain from this approach.

(Or not much. It is possible for the supply chain to further globalize and specialize, but not orders of magnitude more. And, as we regard China as an enemy, and look at what happened with Covid, we may even pull back from the amount that we already have.)
Semiconductor manufacturing is a strategic asset. Antitrust will not apply.

I think we are meaning roughly the same.

> know about that one issue

Knowing that you have that conditions is still not the same as releasing medical records specific to that condition.

So you employee should neither have your full medical records nor a sub-set specific to a certain condition. Just a document confirming that you have that condition.
An arbitrary direction takes too many bits to encode, rather than a few set predicted directions. Reminder that you don't have to nail the prediction exactly, but choose a prediction that gives you the lowest residue error. So you need a way of encoding predictions that's smaller than your coded residue.
Whether the cardinality of the reals is aleph 1, aleph 2, or something larger, is independent of ZFC.

In a model of ZFC in which the set of reals has cardinality greater than aleph_1 , I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a subfield of the reals of cardinality aleph_1 , but I would be surprised if such a field was useful for things like that. Such a field would, of course, not be complete with respect to the usual metric on the rationals, so we wouldn’t have the desired convergence properties. We wouldn’t really be able to do infinite sums in it? (Well, perhaps some other sense of infinite summation could be done, but it wouldn’t be the usual sense.)

In addition, because such a subfield would only exist as an uncountable proper subfield in some models of ZFC, I find it hard to imagine that it would allow computations that wouldn’t otherwise work? I suppose it could motivate some computations which would then also work regardless of what model of ZFC is being used / is true ?
Not everything is made in the newest processes. Upgrading existing fabs to newer processes has benefits over building new ones. GF might have useful experience, e.g. with being a contract fab for others, if Intel wants to go that route.
You've just restated your original comment, without addressing the fact that this does not work with the third example in my original comment.
> … just by tracking your friends.

They also track and profile you across the web. Even if you have no account with them, you still get assigned an advertising ID. Everywhere you see a "Share on Facebook" button? Yeah, that button tracks you even if you never click it, and that's just one of zillions of sneaky ways you're still tracked and profiled by the modern advertising industry.
Interesting point. If they made a console or handheld, it could conflict with publisher's exclusive licensing deals. Making a PC and being able to defend it as a PC in court works around it, even if the form factor happens to be a console or handheld.
In the US it has worked ridiculously well if you consider the total effect on gdp growth and the fractional percent of R&D bets that have been home runs.

I don't buy it. I think theres a dirty secret that they are using a much cheaper battery with prismatic cells that won't last as many years (or charge cycles) as we've become accustomed to seeing in Tesla batteries.

This won't be apparent at first. The warranty is only covering 70% battery capacity retention over 100,000 miles.
> Partially burned methane

The raptors don’t run fuel rich, which should reduce that problem.
Yes, but the term 'Peak Oil' implies the catastrophic and sudden crash in the availability of oil, not in the slow decrease in production due to alternatives. (Don't get me wrong, I'd like production to decline much faster for climate reasons!)

The 'Peak Oil' hypothesis was that all the wells would run dry without good alternatives and society would be trapped between a rock and a hard place because of that. Again, not necessarily for better, humans figured out more technologically advanced ways to extract oil to avoid this outcome (fracking and tar sands).
> assets from IBM, which GloFo "acquired" in 2014 (for -1.5 billion at the time)

You used the term "acquired" along with a minus sign in front of 1.5 billion but just in case other people don't get the joke, IBM gave their fabs to Global Foundries and PAID them $1.5 billion to take them.
Tbh, I don’t know how much I would trust this article given that it is based on employee Slack channel. Note the wording “accommodation reportedly requires”, which doesn’t tell us who reported this. Ideally, shouldn’t the article cite a source for this specific information given that it is presented as a factual statement even though it sounds like a speculation? I am not surprised that there are already 3 comments that have picked on this particular line.
>People make the collaboration argument; but studies show people do not interact more in open offices.

i do not buy this at all. in the office i interacted with dozens of people daily that i otherwise have no specific reason to directly send slack message to.

Ha, I went from Ubuntu > Arch > NixOS and I think I'm finally happy (famous last words, I know). This rings true for me.
Maybe this is why we can’t ever speak in generalities in this industry. I was going to say the exact opposite - almost all business logic I write comes _after_ the query is made. But I prefer a more DDD-like approach where logic is encoded in models, so there would be no way to do anything useful with raw data from a query.
Because, once electricity is no longer available, and you can't get coal from long distance, people burn wood or trash or dried grass or whatever they can get their hands on. If the alternative is freezing, you don't care about the pollution you're generating.

There is already only Intel, Samsung and TSMC working on next-gen foundries. GlobalFoundries dropped out a while ago.

Quit my tech job, here's what I learned
Having dabbled with chaotic heavily dynamic systems in college I actually disagree. It may be that our system was in a relatively stable highly linear regime and we just knocked it out into a non-linear chaotic region that we can't escape even if we cut emissions entirely.

Chaotic systems do some scary unpredictable things, I wish I shared your confidence.
Apple is still huge and powerful, benefiting from a massive inertia, but I don’t believe in its future.

The new Apple is as boring as IBM.

As corporate as it gets, lazy, crazy rich with no vision.
1) Sure - and Apple may be able to accommodate folks asking for a pay cut in return for a change in work situation if they ask. Note that I did this once asking to go to part time at a position in return for a more than pro-rata reduction in pay. I was turned down and found another job. I didn't threaten to quit - and remained on good terms with previous employer who later hired me on as a contractor (!) so my pay was remarkably higher for the part time work I'd wanted in first place - still in touch with them.

2) Employees also find what works and switch jobs. You don't need to throw around things like diversity, inclusion, ADA - you can just go find a WfH job (there are a lot more these days) if that's what you want / need.

3) The claims of violation in this article are thin. It's not clear employees have described medical condition, provided docs, done the interactive process. How has apple violated the ADA? Note that the ADA is not a free pass either.

4) The lower performers may seem to be easier to replace - so may not be key retention targets. Note that I've seen incredible accommodation of key retention target staff (ie, live on a boat, x hours of private jet travel etc).

5) Every industry has higher churn now because of wfH (mine included). This is not headline news necessarily.
Depends on their age, I think.

Apparently AMD still had a Wafer Supply Agreement, last renegotiated in may, that may be a bit weird indeed... See here : https://www.hpcwire.com/2021/05/13/amd-and-globalfoundries-c...

My understading is that AMD only used said contract for the I/O part of their chips or some entry level GPUs, as they moved the CPU cores to TMSC. I'm unclear on their current APU lineup.
Size is a hand-wavy way of saying it. What we're really asking is given two sets A and B, is there a function from A to B such that no two elements from A are mapped to a single element in B?

It turns out if you use ZFC (in particular choice) then one direction must hold. Either such a function exists from A to B or from B to A. This means that we can order all sets using the existence of these functions, and so in that sense size is a "universal property."
