Worked with someone who had a 7650. Watching what that could do blew me away at the time. First phone I saw that genuinely acted like a PC in your pocket. Bought a 6600 as soon as it was released and loved it.

You could probably make an interesting article on how much a modern smartphone in 2021 differs from the 7650. Fundamentally I don't think it's as much as many would think.

1. The document is NOT Nazi propaganda. It was the short document which described a proposal to isolate German soldiers who have spent too much time in Paris, as they might have caught VD from prostitutes. This was a common problem at the time that also affected the US troops on leave there. He did not provide any commentary on the subject in his post, but noted in his blog that it's a ridiculously overzealous notion to send soldiers all the way to the eastern front, just because they spent time in Paris.

2. He questions whether the Russian Facebook mods that censored him were Nazi supporters, exactly because the document in question makes Goebbels look like an idiot. So yes, that's a good faith question to raise.

> two component arrays only cost you two pages in the cache at any given time

It sounds like you're thinking of virtual memory (i.e. pages of memory either being in RAM or on disk). But CPU caching is about the much smaller L1, L2, and L3 caches directly on the chip itself.

Let's say you have two kinds of components, A and B. You have those stored in two contiguous arrays:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB...

Each entity has an A and B and your system needs to access both of those to do its work. The code will look like:

for each entity:
access some data component A
access some data component B
do some computation

On the first access of A, the A component for that entity and a bunch of subsequent As for other entities get loaded into the cache line. On the next access of B, the B for that entity along with a bunch of subsequent Bs gets loaded into a cache line. If you are lucky the A and B arrays will be at addresses such that the chip is able to put them in different cache lines. At that point, I think you'll mostly be OK.

But if you're unlucky and they are fighting for the same cache line, then each access can end up evicting the previous one and forcing a main memory look up for every single component.

Well, there are very few careers that pay as much as being quant and all of them are going to be somehow similar. So lets be honest, you either get over it or take paycut be it permanent by switching careers or temporal as it is going to take time to build new consulting service or business (anything else is hardly going to pay your current salary) and you might never be able to get back to amount of money you are making right now.
isnt this illegal?
> I think the main hurdle is the transformation of a fluffy real world problem into something of an algorithm.

I came to a very similar conclusion after I had been teaching programming in high school for a few years: the difficulty of "programming" is in learning to think algorithmically, and no amount of "No Code" tooling gets you around that problem. The article alludes to this with the "PBJ sandwich problem" - people are used to specifying processes based on a collective (and often unconscious) cultural understanding, which computers obviously do not share!

I had the misfortune earlier in my career of working for a total megalomaniac chair-flipper. One time he described some fairly vague product concept and I said, "ok, let me put together a proof of concept". He blew his stack and said, "no, I don't want a proof of concept I want a working product!"

I think Sean McClure's advice only applies when you have so much of one resource that you can afford to be inefficient when trading it for another.

If you have so little cash you have to choose between paying the water bill or the gas bill because you can't afford both, spending time to optimize your cash is a matter of survival. Poor people are also criticized if they don't penny pinch.

College students are often cash-poor but time-rich, so it makes sense they would pinch their pennies and consume time to preserve the scarce resource of cash.

Tech professionals are often time-poor but cash-rich, so it makes sense to pinch their minutes and spend cash to preserve the scarce resource of time.

And for the many in poverty who are both cash-poor and time-poor, time is usually the more flexible resource and so they pinch pennies.
AMD's MI100 has those 4x4 BFloat16 and FP16 matrix multiplication instructions you want, with PyTorch and TensorFlow compiling down into them through ROCm.

Now don't get me wrong: $9000 is a lot for a development system to try out the software. NVidia's advantage is that you can test out the A100 by writing software for cheaper GeForce cards at first.

NVidia also makes it easy with the DGX computer to quickly get a big A100-based computer. AMD you gotta shop around with Dell vs Supermicro (etc. etc.) to find someone to build you that computer.

What is it about computers and programming that interests you or sparks a fire? You said in general, but I feel like that is a very wide array of possibilities.

I don’t think any amount of money is worth your mental being if you’re showing up to work in utter distress. Based on your credentials only...you seem to have your head on straight and a bright individual, your skills will be valued elsewhere. I would look to save more of your income by cutting expenses, and figure out a way to quit your current job. Take a few months off and work on yourself, find out what you actually want to do and find a path to that.

Good luck!
I understand your sentiment, however whenever I look at colleagues' or friends' browsers, they do indeed have an endless stream of tabs. Often 30+.
I wonder what property makes that true of a yoga ball? I almost always find myself leaning forward on my desk as if I'm riding a bike. Perhaps it absorbs the stress more than a conventional chair or maybe it's because it's omnidirectional in terms of possible postures?

My boss used to work standing up, but neither did he program for 12+ hours a day.

It's a perfectly reasonable question, but I'm actually unsure since I haven't called them in years. The one thing they do advertise are their airport rates, which Northside says is $42 to JFK from Williamsburg. Earlier this summer I had to fly, hadn't really noticed yet that Uber/Lyft prices have gotten absurd, and because I was running late took a $100 Lyft to the airport. I just checked Uber right now and it is saying $73. I'll definitely be reverting back to just using the local car company for airport rides in the future (but let's not get me started on how absurd it is NYC has no easy, fast public transit to the airports).

I'm roughly the same age as you and I'm in more or less the same situation.

It was joy of programming and computers that got me into this line of work, and though I still enjoy it, I can no longer rely on that intrinsic motivation to get through the day.

I'm finding my 30s to be a time of major transition. I am forced to evolve from a young, intrinsically motivated and excited 20 something year old, to a more disciplined, appreciative, albeit less "happy" 30 something year old.

I miss waking up every day with a bursting energy for coding. I'd love to have that again. But the reality is, after 10+ years of doing this work every day, I cannot get that excited about it anymore. I absolutely have to find a sustainable path and the first step in that is realizing that the old me is gone.

The story of my mid 30s, maybe even all of my 30s, will be one of discovery and adaptation. I hope to arrive at the doorstep of my 40s, a well tuned and well adapted individual. I need to monitor myself, day in, and day out, and find systems that work toward the simple goal of getting up every day, doing good work, and feeling healthy. Happiness and joy are feelings reserved for mostly novel experiences. Work is a day-to-day art, the kind of thing ripe for a disciplined mind that can be productive without necessarily being massively stimulated (intrinsically or otherwise).

I am nowhere near the end of this stage in my journey. I have made mostly dismal progress up to this point but have recently started tweaking new levers and twisting different knobs with the hope of making some positive progress. I still struggle, daily, with burnout and feelings of inadequacy. I struggle to get excited about my work and so I struggle to do the work. Struggling to do the work, means I feel shitty about myself.

All that said, I do think the first step is in recognizing where you are in life. You likely haven't yet accepted what it means to be a 30 something year old programmer. Maybe there is still time for you to change your path, but it doesn't sound like it. Take stock of the positives in your life and find a determination to preserve them. That will mean first recognizing and appreciating what you have, and then, understanding that it's through your daily work that you're able to maintain those things. With that understanding, embark on the long journey of optimizing your life. Find a way to make this sustainable. You have to.

(Or, get out, and do something else!)

Once you've fully accepted your situation and are ready to work on solutions, a bunch of interesting conversations can be had. Start learning about what works for others, and try those things out in your life. Always been a late sleeper? Try a 5:30 AM routine for a few weeks. Always been a coffee drinker? Cut back to 1 a day, or drink tea. Finding these things give you a small boost to productivity? Keep doing them. Find they don't help at all? Stop doing them.

Turn the knobs, twist the levers, but always keep your eye on the goal - productive work, healthy life.

> 2. ... an 'adequate' house in London would cost at least 10 times my salary.

Then buy outside of London something much cheaper, save a shitload and retire early, while keeping that well paying job.

> 3. London is a horrible place to live. I have no affinity for it whatsoever. Even if I could afford a house I would not want to live here.

It is a known fact that there are many people working in the city who live outside of London, nearby a train station, in the fancy suburbs: in the morning they go to the train station by car (which takes no time because they of course pick a quiet place with no traffic jam) then they go to the city by train. The parking lots of these train stations are, during the working days, full of Bentleys and Porsches and whatnots, which gives it away.

Would that be an option? (not the car type: the suburb near a train station)

FWIW in Brussels there are people doing exactly the same: living in the fancy suburbs (like the posh Waterloo suburb) and dodging all the traffic jams thanks to the train, while enjoying the high paying job (compared to the median salary in Belgium) the city offers (cough European institutions cough cough).

My father-in-law, now retired, did that for 20 years: working on the trading floor for a big bank in Brussels, 1 minute walk from the train station, then going back to his on the countryside...

I'd say it's not just extremely common: it's also very smart. You do away with the traffic jams, do away with the city stress, do away with the real estate price, can save more, etc. All the while enjoying birds chirping and squirrels at home every single day.

> 5. My parents, like most boomers, had a much better standard of living when they were my age. My father had a pretty average salary, bought a massive house for a reasonable price, and saw his wealth multiply many times over. It's not like that for my generation.

Common' now... If you work as a quant in the city, I'm sure it can be like that for you.

I don't like the city either: any city. Not my thing. Lived in a city (not London) for 40 years, it's enough. A few years ago I moved outside the city and I love it.
IMHO as an interviewer, when I see these: the rank-order is useful, so that if you put C++ first I might ask you a different question than if you put Python. But the absolute star ratings are just noise; most candidates just use an implicitly-ranked list which is a more concise way of communicating the same information.

I've never asked a candidate to rank themselves on a skill out of 10, that seems like a low-signal way to filter for overconfident people.
Here's a question for you: what is the difference between the sunk cost fallacy and persistence?

And here's the answer: Persistence is good when it is successful. If the activity us unsuccessful, it's an example of the irrational sunk cost fallacy. (Making decisions without knowledge of future events is quite hard.)

And the important lesson: If you bail at the first sign of adversity, no one can ever accuse you of being irrational. Of course, as the old saying goes, all progress is made due to the irrational.

Insightful. Most people don’t have that kind of perspective on their own lives.

> I generally find it very difficult to read/enjoy old classics

I found a ‘top 100 books of all time’ list and decided there were a few near the top I should read/reread. I’m pretty sure I had never read any of them. I knew the author and I had a vague idea of the plot and characters.

Every single one of them was excellent to the point where I need to reread them again.
About number 4. If you are miserable, why is it important to retire early? Most people can't do that, and they are not miserable, in general. Scratch 4 from your list of priorities.
I feel that most of the time, my time is worth more than the money saved doing monotonous things to save money. Sure, getting the Sunday paper and clipping a few coupons saves money and doesn't cost time, but taken to the extreme it does.

I have friends that drive an extra 30 minutes to save off a few cents in gas or ones that endure the hoards on craigslist to sell an item for 50$.

I'd rather take the craigslist item to a goodwill, donate it, and take the $50 off on my taxes later.

Some people shop at 3-4 different stores on sunday to optimize their costs, but I'd rather shop at 1 store and spend an extra 20$ to avoid doing that. It all comes down to preference but time spent at home on a project or with family is worth the small amount of money I'd lose doing things optimally.

> This is only bad if there is no way to appeal such a decision.

This is only true if being falsely accused didn't cost you anything (in terms of time, money, etc.), and if the cost of appealling is zero.

Bikeshedding -- in a past large enterprise that I worked, bikeshedding was most frequently employed in staff meetings that involved multiple levels of management. Middle-management and administrative staff would inject (often extremely project-disruptive) ideas into non-trivial things[0], but things "they understood enough to talk about" in an attempt to appear that they had a deeper understanding of the project. Thankfully, upper management was solid and saw through it, consistently.

[0] Small bullet point to move a task co-ordination database from its MSSQL version to a supported version ends up in an explanation of why our "Data Warehousing Solution" can't solve this problem for us ... it's hard to reason with someone when you're coming from a place of knowledge, and they're in that same place, just in some other universe where things don't mean what they mean here ... I remember "Data Lake" and making a quip about drowning, insulting the guy accidentally but not suffering any fallout.
I solved it by duplicating the data. Because a physics object when created needs a starting position. And sometimes you need to 'reset' the position and just having one position variable won't allow that. The rendering logic checks if it has a physics state and if not use the other position etc.
Many of the stores I've been to give the cashiers a "store" card that they just swipe if you don't have one (even if you've never signed up.) It probably violates some corporate policy but they seem to get away with it.

> But the Tesla design has been basically the same for many years

They've completely changed the interior in the current generation, starting with the 2018 Model 3. It's actually quite unique in the industry, nothing else looks like a Tesla.

Are you only talking about exterior design? Usually people prefer that to be a bit conservative, don't they? A 2021 Prius, for example, still has basically the same profile as the iconic 2004. Major changes to body style in the car industry are a once-a-decade thing, if that. And these are new cars; the first Model S shipped in 2012!
Wow what a jerk. Very, very explicit lie:

Biden botched this, but I don't think Trump would have done much better.

I mean wasn't Trump already deep into the D-team of advisors, late in his term, and didn't he have a habit of making impulsive decisions?

This isn't a partisan issue, it's a failure of the American political system as a whole. It's starting to get a late-period Soviet Union feel to it.
