> ML engineers make more than general software engineers everywhere. At least they did for a while between roughly 2015 and 2020.

It's not clear if SavantIdiot is a SW person (vs HW/fab), but while what you say is correct, note that Intel significantly underpays SW as well. He was a grade 9 employee, which is fairly senior - very few employees will get to that level. Even today, looking on levels.fyi, the typical Grade 7 employee (equivalent of upper L4 in Google) gets about $163K in total compensation (salary + bonus + stocks). The grade 9 person gets about $260K total. The equivalent in Google is from $356K to $490K.

Furthermore, consider this: Intel's problems involve manufacturing - fab, etc. If you're a principal engineer, your total comp is still lower than a new ML engineer with no experience. It's very hard to become a principal engineer - only 4% of employees who get to the grade level below it will ever get to principal engineer.

That ML employee isn't going to help much with fab issues - the principal engineer is. How do you think he'll feel knowing that he's a lot more responsible for the future of the company, yet the guy just out of school will reap more financial benefits than the person who actually played a bigger role in making it happen?

> Also did the ML guy have an advanced degree that your long-timer friends didn’t?

SavantIdiot was a grade 9, which is 2 grade levels above an incoming PhD. SavantIdiot was a very senior person.

What do I do with my time? I spend so many hours consuming random content on the internet nowadays. I feel kind of bad for the girlfriend, who has to listen to me regurgitate the content back to her.

People looking in from the outside scratch their heads. Don't I have hobbies? Passions? I'd do X Y and Z, they often say.

Reminds me of this blog post:

I'd prefer there was a "Launch" category at the top of the page with a star on it to show when there's something new.
Glassdoor is pretty bad for salaries at FAANG. That might be the average base for someone in Toronto. But they're getting a bonus of 15%, plus RSUs usually of about ~50%+ of base - but in the last year these RSUs have doubled, so ~100%+ of base.

Yeah, I spent about 4 years working in construction and factory floors and another 4 years in the military. It's baked in at this point but I've learned to get it under control when needed.
SEA came to mind for me as well. The domestic terminal offers local options such as Beecher’s, Caffe Ladro, Grand Central Bakery, Salt & Straw, Skillet, and Starbucks.
So households are about 30% loan to value. Sounds ok ?
HMS is worse than OTG. I would avoid HMS as much as possible due to consistent poor quality. I also don't care about cost due to expense account, except when traveling for pleasure.
ANA and Thai Airways would claim otherwise.
American airports pretty universally use jet bridges to board planes, which puts them well ahead of most major European airports, where you're gonna end up being packed in a bus half the time.

Unless you're somehow stuck in an airport for 6+ hours, I really only care about how much misery is added to the basic experience, and the US does pretty well overall, aside from the hostile security/border people.

I can count the number of times I've bought food in airports on one hand. You absolutely can bring food through. I've been asked to throw out peanut butter once though.
I had a dream once that I was hired by a rich man.

I was given the freedom to hire the smartest people I could find and take on something challenging.

It paid only room and board for me and my family, plus a small equity share in whatever we created.

I would give anything for that dream to be a reality.

Please, if you’re reading this and you’re a millionaire, have some fun making someone else’s dreams come true?
I think both of those focus on ingress? I suppose you could just create your CA with cert manager and manually issue cert requests, but securing in-cluster traffic (automagically) will need some other moving piece, like a sidecar proxy that the service meshes use.

As far as a service mesh, check out Linkerd! I find Istio much harder to setup and manage. Linkerd is super simple and has always worked pretty much out of the box for me.

I don't think it's RSS (which as many people pointed out, still exists; it's just not fashionable any more). The real problem is that the web is like a flashy magazine with very little content surrounded by glaring eye candy. RSS (like many other things before it) was about data sources being fed into a client of your choice and configuration.

The web has its good and bad points, but the web is different from the net, and much of what drives the web is bad for the net.

Multi-brand strategies are common. Using that as proof that they aren't "proud" and they "hide" is a leap that requires more than just a statement.
Yea the current Amex Platinum annual fee is insane but the lounge access you get on that card is pretty amazing. It really is worth it if you travel a lot.
MSY really focused on displaying local food offerings when it opened the new terminal (2019)
Management doesn't get a say in this. HR does. Gelsinger is the first CEO at Intel to openly admit Intel pays below market rate and when he joined he promised an 18 month timeline to improving compensation. Most of it involves negotiating with the board.

Recently Intel paid a number of employees extra RSUs as a "first step". It does seem the ordering was ML > SW > everyone else (from anecdotes).
The situation is not so clear with Apple (but there is some evidence that it puts up at least some opposition: see hit-pieces like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27968394 and note all the pro-Chrome/Google opinions there...) but Mozilla is funded by Google.

...and regardless of whether you're using Chrome, the immense power of Google's marketing abilities cannot be overstated. It is an ad company, after all. (If you're using Chrome, it's self-explanatory; if you're not, you should notice just how much you get "recommended" to.)
Also, these days: tons of rich entitled antimaskers (many unvaccinated) doing their rich, entitled, no mask thing in a crowded venue where they can usually get away with it (food and bev nearby).

One stroll through any airport concourse will show you all the people defiantly dicknosing, unchallenged.

My current life goal is to become rich enough to fly private everywhere simply to avoid the epic asshattery now on blatant display in every public space in the global west these days. Selfish, entitled people are torture to be crowded around.

Anecdotally, the MagSafe charger that came with my 2008 MacBook is still going strong, but the one that I got with a 2013 MacBook Air is a hot blue mess that I occasionally bring to Apple Stores to try and get replaced.

Space is cold and big. We can theoretically sink near infinite heat there (generally in the form of radiation of wavelengths not readily absorbed by anything in the atmosphere).
Yeah actually driving to airport, parking and checking in is good. Mostly Europe wins on public transport to the airport.
US airports generally don’t get the level of national funding that many international airports do. There are way too many airports for the US federal government to support them the way that their international peers are, and states and cities don’t have the budget to pick up the slack.
Man, so many people are going to be in for a world of hurt:

1. The increased applications and class sizes means there will be more competition for a smaller number of jobs when these folks graduate (tech is automating away a lot of legal work, too).

2. As others have commented, a huge percentage of lawyers regret going to law school. This is actually in direct contrast to many other professional degrees, e.g. MBAs score very high on the "I'd still do it again" question.

3. The regret sentiment is especially high among anything outside of a top 50 program.
500% on beer isn’t that bad. Your typical bar, without the need for any airport security stuff, is probably 3x at least.
Well for me having made the jump from IC to being responsible for my whole team, the issue is that the promises I used to give were based on my ability, whereas now I have to take the whole team into account. And so sometimes, I'm left saying to another team, it's going to take X weeks to do this, even though if I were doing it, I think I could do it in Y < X weeks. But I have to face the reality that my team is less senior than I am and so will take longer, as I train them up.

Moreover, when I did overpromise, as an IC I would put in the extra hours to deliver, so my estimates always seemed to my superiors to be 'on time'. But now as a manager, I can't force my team to work extra hours (and I don't wanna be that guy), so I have to take that into account when making promises.

Ultimately, it's the difference between being responsible for myself, and now being responsible for others, not only responsible for the tasks they do, but also for being responsible for communicating the ability to do it to other teams.
These are often operated by companies like HMS or OTG and simply license the brand from local businesses. In my opinion they rarely recreate the experience of the real establishment.
My grandfather spent his entire working life after the war in the cement and brick factory, and built 3 houses and various sub-buildings out of brick. Since very young age my brother and I were tasked with helping, starting with just sieving sand via mesh to remove rocks, and then once we got just a bit older and stronger, actually mixing mortar out of cement and sand and carrying the mixture to the job site.

I think I laid my first brick before the age of 9, but first just a couple here and there. Bricks are heavy! I think was 12 when I was given a straight stretch of the wall close to foundation to, and after review of my work I had to take everything apart, it was saggy, uneven and ugly. Eventually I learned to do straight walls, but the corners eluded me until at least a year doing it with very qualified masons coaching. I don't think my joints were ever pretty enough with that lovely groove that some people do, and avoiding mortar onto the brick is devilishly hard.

Where I live there is little brick construction but I love seeing what is there, it is always so pretty.

Based on my experience of the changing by the minute mortar, heavy bricks, continuous looping feedback, I don't believe it is something that will get automated.
Sure, it goes well with one of the worst rail systems in the world and some of the worst roads in the third world.

Seriously, why is it Washington has such trouble investing in infrastructure. Even with the trillion$ under the current proposed legislation, I'll bet precious few $ make it to airports/rails/roads.

I think it's a classic case of not understanding equality, hiding behind enough complexity that it's a bit more complicated than usual. Many people have a hard time not reading equalities as an implication... if there's a mass and an acceleration, then there's a force. But the equality says, it's the same. It isn't an if-then, it is that whereever there is a mass that is accelerating, that is force. The force doesn't "cause" the mass to accelerate and the mass accelerating doesn't "cause" the force; they're equal, they're the same thing, trying to wedge in between the two of them is a fatal error, and a very common one in physics education.

Both of those approaches are equal. Or, to put it another way, it isn't that the fast moving air and the slow moving air "causing" a pressure differential which then "causes" lift... it's one integrated process. They aren't separable. You can't have different levels of pressure without some effect on air velocity, you can't have forces in the air without some effect on pressure, etc. The whole argument is all "But what causes what?" and the only correct answer is that it's an equality, not an implication. It can only be properly understood as a single whole that can be looked at in several ways.
Any reason to think American airports are bad or even below average? I’m not a super big world traveler, but having been in maybe 20 US airports and 10+ abroad, I think us is middle of the pack at worst.
> Ever wonder why software transactional memory never really succeeded despite the hype?

You can implement software transactional memory with locks just fine. Are you talking about hardware transactional memory perhaps?

(In some sense, database transactions are pretty similar to software transactional memory.

And that points to a different possible reason why software transactional memory (STM) hasn't taken off:

STM works really well in a language like SQL or Haskell with carefully restricted side-effects. But bolting STM onto an impure language is asking for trouble.)

PS Your main point about locks vs atomic primitive still stands regardless.
I see someone linked my post earlier (thanks!) but hey, I thought of a few more based on your request.

Double check that you're running PipeWire with rtkit (this is the default with PulseAudio, AFAIK it is not the default yet on PipeWire).

I think that some component of challenge is required to live an interesting life, keep you on your toes, and keep you close to living at your edge.

I think some people will invent challenges for themselves, even arbitrary looking ones, if they are otherwise unchallenged at the time, just to keep themselves engaged.

All kinds of things can pose significant challenges: relationships, learning a new language, travel (um, thanks 2020), a sport, yoga...other stuff that pushes you outside your comfortable zone and where you are in the space where you actually have to think, react, decide again, and where you have limited information and don't know.

I don't think you have to do this, but you can try it if you're looking for that "ah i feel bored, or just too comfortable I wanna do something" kind of vibe.

I think an advantage is you don't have to care: is this right for me? Is this what I want to do (bigpicture)? Just pick something you don't know how to do, and try it, and for some of those things you might end up caring about becoming good at it or overcoming the challenges of it. If you can't even care about finding something challenging or that you don't know, you probably have some sort of mental illness or unresolved emotional issues or inner work you need to face and simply are avoiding that or don't know how to deal with that, and then you need to process that yourself or with some counselling to try to sort that out. But sometimes pushing out of the zone, especially doing something physical like sport or yoga, brings that stuff up anyway. So there's many ways to get forward.
What we know about the delta-plus variant
I don't think there's really a fact-checking industry -- the industry that exists is something like a leftist Ministry of Truth. That stuff is unpopular because everyone is realizing that they're just more liars, hired by other liars.
Vaccinated people spread the disease, too. Maybe once the mRNA vaccine’s side effects have subsided — specifically brain fog & lethargy — people will be able to have less emotional, hyperbolic retorts to shitposts.
You used to be able to do that on Linux when its sound system was OSS ("Open Sound System", not "Open Source Software"), the same as FreeBSD uses today (I believe Linux still has an OSS compat layer). A long time ago the project lead was employed by a company to write support for some newer sound hardware, and decided to make those changes proprietary. The Linux folks decided to do something completely different, and we got ALSA, while some BSD folks decided to fork the last fully open source version of OSS and continue developing it.

The irony, of course, is that the proprietary version of OSS failed, and it ended up going open source again.

Airports in USA are like bus depots. Flying is such a mundane and normal activity like taking a long distance bus or train somewhere else in the world. They just don’t bother making them special.
I am surprised there is no conspiracy theory about some third party forcing archegos to blow up on purpose. it would be a convenient way for a secret police or other extra legal group to punish or blackmail a wealthy person while making a little money on the side at the expense of a big bank. I mean billy only put away a few hundred million protected in trusts and charities… do deca billionaires blow up this spectacularly? Doesn’t seem regular to me.

Singapore Airlines also has mostly edible food.
Yeah, the current fee ($695) is a bit eye popping.

But I am actually using every penny of the airline, Uber and Equinox credits ($200 + $200 + $300) so it’s effectively free for me and all the extra benefits like lounge access are icing on the cake.
It is illegal. I'd try it but the last half-dozen flights I was on, we were lucky to get 4-oz bottles of water.
The problem is that even pre-COVID, business travelers only accounted for somewhere around 30% of air travelers. Post-COVID, that number is far lower. So stupidly high prices that are affordable to business travelers with expense accounts are not even remotely affordable for the vast majority of travelers.
