NOTHING has changed at Intel.

They have grand plans. They've tried these exact same grand plans a decade ago and failed badly.

The culture hasn't changed. In fact the minority that warned of exactly what has happened to Intel - the Cassandras who got it right - have all already been driven out of the company. It's now just one single group-think of fail.

The proof is in the results which we will NOT KNOW for at least 10, maybe 20 years. The signs so far are not encouraging.

I know, but I wouldn't be able to give much specifics due to privacy reasons. I can say that the common theme is dissatisfactions with the velocity of making decisions, leading to conflicts/frustration. In a large org, ICs are at the mercy of the management for velocity. When you step down from the TL position, you may feel pretty frustrated that your impact is now tied to some one else's (sometimes slow) decision. This feeling is already common between the normal ICs, but for TLs-turned-ICs, I think they experienced it much worse. All the people I knew burned out, complained about management, and left for another team or another company.
The point of the aclu is to make progressive agenda items appear neutral because older people value the aclu while younger people consider themselves like any other pac equivalent.

For example, the 2008 article was for Obama and the bar for a democratic president is lower so they have to frame the issue at the start.. that even if Obama did nothing and the pandemic actualized into something terrible, he would be praised for preserving liberty. Since they didn't like trump, they set another bar for him and pretended that was the only way forward for civil rights.

There was something in the Animatrix that still haunts me after having watched it when it came out (right after the first Matrix).

There is a scene where humans have jacked in to a machine using cables and there is some conversation which leads to the line “To a machine, every input is artificial.”

Let’s say you’re right for the sake of argument.

You agree that due to the consequences they were concerned enough to run the calcs even although they didn’t think it likely and they did this several years before the atomic bomb? For sake of argument, at the time of the bomb no scientist thought it was possible but a couple years before they did run calculations to verify the atmosphere would not ignite when the first bomb test was conducted.

That’s not incompatible with my very first statement. I’m not sure what the point of this debate is?

And that's fine, the majority of the current generation will stick to traditional banking out of fear. Maybe it is safer that way you are right. Let's not ignore the fact the crypto technology is actually safer as a whole, the method of transaction is order of magnitudes more hardened with private keys and signatures, and also more flexible.
BTW cryptocurrencies and also smart contract networks does support rollback as shown in the Eth vulnerability that was exploited years ago. The irreversibility is a feature. We figured it is safer to adopt a push approach to transactions like when paying with cash rather than a pull approach used with debit/credit card, and that making the transaction not reversible leads to less fear from the creditor and promote fluidity. If reversibility is desired, multi sig and escrow exist. They are as rarely used as on eBay, because for most transactions we don't care. Nothing is perfectly safe you are right but humanity, despite stickiness to what is tolerable has always eventually adopted less understood but more enabling technologies when they prove to be superior in so many respects.

> We're still seeing the ripple effects of Roe v. Wade being decided almost 50 years ago.

Abortion is far less of a political and cultural hot potato in Australia than in the US. While no doubt some of that is due to other cultural differences – for whatever reason, conservative Christianity has never been quite as strong an influence in Australia as in the US – I think a big factor is the difference in how abortion was legalised.

In Australia, there is no constitutional right to abortion. And yet abortion is legal nationwide. Its legality was achieved through a gradual process, involving state legislation, and state court decisions – those state court decisions were not based on constitutional law, rather the state courts simply decided to reinterpret the existing criminal laws against abortion to not apply to medical procedures. The federal courts stayed out of it completely, and constitutional rights never came into it, only statutory law – if they wanted to, the state parliaments could have overturned the state court decisions effectively legalising abortion, but they chose not to.

The fact that the process was much more gradual, and had greater democratic legitimacy, has helped make it less of a controversy. And since it happened through a series of state laws and state court decisions, opponents of legal abortion don't have one single highly visible event to focus all their opposition upon, like Roe v Wade is in the US. Almost every American has heard of Roe v Wade – even many non-Americans have – by contrast, few Australians know about the Menhennitt ruling (which de facto legalised abortion in the state of Victoria in 1969) or the Levine ruling (which did the same in New South Wales in 1971). American opponents of legal abortion focus most of their energy on trying to get justices appointed to the Supreme Court who will overturn Roe v Wade – the main purpose of this latest Texas law is to get a case before the Supreme Court which will give those justices an opportunity to do exactly that – its Australian opponents don't have any national focus, which in practice makes them a lot weaker.

It is totally consistent to support legal abortion, but to also think that Roe v Wade was a strategic mistake.
No dual citizens in federal parliament. That 30% are, generally, extremely under-represented in the political system. This is by choice of interpretation of the current federal judiciary (High Court).

At a state level, in many states, rules for dual citizens are more complicated, but result in a similar situation.

I can understand the need for this legislation, but it does tilt the balance in favor of 3rd+ generation Australians (as many 2nd generation Australians can inherit their parent's citizenship).

Yes, if your country of non-Australian citizenship allows you to renounce it, that is recognised in Australian law. But it can be a complex process, with little value unless you have political ambitions (or maybe complex tax issues ;-) ).
In my experience New Zealand is more different from Australia than a lot of Australians seem to assume.

Generally speaking New Zealand is far more socially liberal than Australia, however there are greater financial / job opportunities in Australia due to it's size.

In New Zealand you're less likely to own a fancy new car or have has many expensive possessions but to me at least it didn't feel like you "need" them as much as in Australia.

There weren't many tech job opportunities in New Zealand given its small population, however I suspect the global rise in remote work coupled with New Zealand's relatively capable internet infrastructure may be changing this.

Entertainment wise New Zealand hands down has more stunning, enjoyable, accessible nature and outdoors - while Australia pre-covid has a far more international offerings (musicians, comedy etc...).

Property prices are absolutely insane in both countries if you want to live in city / inner suburbs.

It's hard to explain but I've always felt that if Australia was socially and politically the USA, New Zealand would perhaps be somewhere in Scandinavia.

What's stopping me from moving back to New Zealand? - My life (friends, work, cat) is in Melbourne, if I was offered a good job opportunity back in the South Island of NZ and moving costs covered - I'd certainly be considering it.

Of course this is all highly subjective and only based on my experiences / observations.

Taking a break from your laptop doesn't mean you become a hermit in the woods.
Have at least one interview stage with experts in something specific. Having someone else filter out "cannot program" is fine to prevent the Sr. Ruby Engineer from looking at 95% "cannot program" candidates.

But that whole thing fails because often a skill needed is new. The easiest example I can think of is when a startup goes from 0 to 1 in the HR/legal/accounting areas.
You're probably right - I assumed the reasons were similar to Youtube and autoplay but maybe not.
The 65k limit is per client address and port. Each client can have 65,535 connections to a single port on your server from each and every 65,535 of their own ports. (65,536? I dunno what would actually happen if you tried to use port 0.)
The point isn't what's possible, it's about the way things are now. Most people with a desktop or laptop machine run Windows on it. Could Linux do everything they want from a computer? Sure, almost. Are they actually using Linux? No - ergo, Windows is still massively important. Not to mention the countless organisations whose IT departments are heavily invested in Windows desktops and all the related supporting infrastructure. Of course they could all change, but they're not going to do it any time soon. Yes Linux is awesome and everywhere but, for example, just a few weeks ago one of my (software developer!) colleagues scoffed when I mentioned Linux and asked if anyone still uses it - while Linux silently runs almost everything around us, Windows is still much more visibly present in most peoples' lives.
> A cop that lets people drive drunk without consequences is not level headed to me. Nor is one that specifically lets their friends be above the law

The cop that let him drive drunk wasn't the "level headed" one, but a different one who pulled him over and decided to give him a pass based on the "get out of jail free" card.

Those cards are not uncommon. They won't get you out of everything (it is up to the discretion of the cop you show it too) but they will get you out of a lot. [0]

I think such obvious corruption and double standards should be illegal, but hey, what do I know?

American liberals have a bizarre authoritarian idea of how governance/power works because they were spoiled for the Warren court for so long. They think of government as a tree of daddies and mommies of increasing wisdom and credentials with SCOTUS at the root, to gift you civil rights if you're pure of heart and can just word your petition correctly. They've completely given up on getting buy-in from the ignorant, downtrodden, misunderstood, and miseducated masses that vote for them (don't even ask about the ones who didn't.)

The recent ruling on the Texas heartbeat law might make a dent in that, although I doubt it.

Changes made by pure fiat don't last. Gay marriage in the US could absolutely turn out to have been temporary for just the reasons you explained.
> Back when state population was measured in the tens of thousands.

Why would you think that? It's not true.

https://www.ncsl.org/research/fiscal-policy/state-experience...

> One reason for the change was the resurgence of state legislative power in the middle of the 20th century. Legislatures’ growing role in state government can be measured by the shift from biennial to annual legislative sessions. In 1940 only four state legislatures held annual sessions—and Alabama's legislature met only once every four years. In 2011, only four states still have biennial sessions—Montana, Nevada, North Dakota and Texas. Two changes came recently: Arkansas with its first annual session in 2009, and Oregon with its first in 2011.

In 1940, 34 states had populations of 1 million+ and only one state had a population of less than 100k: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ...
The SECs mission is not that broad because other regulatory bodies regulate different types of instruments. For example, the FDIC is the agency that regulates most bank-origin instruments like CDs and savings accounts. FINRA regulates margin accounts. The Commodities and Futures Trading Commission regulates commodity-related instruments, including gold, forex, futures, etc..

And at least within the industry, it is pretty well known that there is an ongoing turf war between the SEC and the CFTC, with each encroaching on each other's regulatory authority in various scenarios. It's not hard to see that the SEC would encroach on other regulatory bodies as well. And that's why various experts like Matt Levine see this as the SEC stepping out of line: they have a very poor claim to authority to regulate these instruments.

> people who get infected from unvaccinated partying carriers and die cannot really exercise their civil liberties.

How does this argument of 'causing others to die prevents them from exercising civil liberties' apply to other issues the aclu takes on, such as abortion? By your own measure, abortion would be the most heinous form of preventing someone from exercising future civil liberties.

Why can't we just say they changed their minds?
I remember riding the Melbourne Eye, which has a narrator explaining that "before Melbourne, there was nothing here" and then later mentions the Aboriginals used to live in pretty much the same places.
Weird. I’ve been earning yield on the Gemini dollar at Gemini. Are they regulating that as a security?

BlockFi (which I use as well) is also offering similar services and has informed users of ongoing SEC action to classify those offerings as securities. EDIT: actually that’s just state agencies.
With regard to gay marriage - Donald Trump ran and won in 2016 on a platform that included the recognition of gay marriage as a settled right. AU and US aren’t so different!
You should probably rephrase because it’s ambiguous whether “himself” is the house or one of the losers. Although maybe that ambiguity is actually accurate.
Blockfi is facing action from multiple state securities regulators at the moment. Though, not the SEC.

Do they have their own token and give interest on it? That seems to be the SEC’s issue with Coinbase’s proposal.

The Shocking Truth (1987 Apple internal training video)
It's mostly NOT fixable.

The problem comes from the sociological fact that groups differ from individuals in serious cognitive, sociological, moral and motivational ways.

And as a general rule, groups of people DO NOT SCALE WITH SIZE.

This is the fundamental reality that has been shown to limit the size of companies: the ability to reliably transmit critical operating information from one side to the other as needed fails with increasing size.

And computers do NOT improve things because it's actually a specific type of information required: knowledge applied with skill in a timely fashion. That is what fails with size.

Related to this is the inevitably "Chinese Whispers" losses that arise as the organization grows vertically and as decision making is centralized: the knowledge about the markets served inevitably goes 180 degrees out of phase where every direction and decision becomes exactly the wrong or worst possible. The system starts to tear itself apart destroying its competitive abilities and opening up large swaths of market for smaller competitors to take and occupy.

The real world has more information in it than what any planning or system can describe accurately enough to use for predictions. So without accurate feedback from the outside reality, the corporation will fail.

Big tech components can only be "fixed" by breaking themselves apart so they can regain the proper feedback loop accuracy, or by doing what HP USED TO DO: pushing down decision-making to the lowest possible level in a Federated form. This isn't perfect either but it's better than a Top-Down command-and-control system when it comes to performance and competitive fit.

Control-freak executives always screw both of these up because they can't handle letting go.
We use specifically prompted gpt-3 to generate synthetic training examples (eg paraphrases, summaries, etc). We fine tune other (much smaller than gpt3 but still large-ish) language models for controllable language generation (often augmented with synthetic data from gpt3). As a comparison point, we did try GPT Neo and it did not provide sufficiently high quality synthetic data.

Transformers in general have lots of applications (machine translation, information retrieval/reranking, ner, etc).
> Those aren't mainly used for important work.

Tablets, smartphones and smart tvs have been of increasing importance on education activities, specially after the pandemic. My router is used for ALL my internet traffic, important or not. Webservers... basically most of what most things people do online. And supercomputers are right now doing high relevancy tasks like running climate models, simulating protein folding, drug interactions and improving vehicle's safety.

I'd disagree those aren't mainly used for important work.

Yeah. I’m against abortion but that kind of thing is HOA levels of unacceptable.
A major reason for the success and growth of crypto is that it is permissionless (i.e. unregulated) finance. This sector is extremely high-margin, full of old boys' networks, licensed monopolies / oligopolies, it's opaque, confusing, and somehow this convinces mere mortals that the basic business of finance (deposits, lending, interest) is so complex that it must be kept far away from peasants. Meanwhile the average securities and annuity peddlers are not exactly the smartest people ("but at least they are licensed!").

Crypto is blowing the whole thing up. We are witnessing frauds and scams, but also a huge amount of innovation that I believe will change finance for the better.

If you like using your bank and brokerage, keep doing it. But the brave souls building and using crypto finance are doing a very bold experiment, and I say let it continue.
