Along similar lines, nobody "really knows" how Google search works. Sure, you have some experts who can talk about how parts of the algorithm work, you have the underlying bones of page rank, you even have SEO experts who can get you reasonably close to the top search results.

But is there a single individual on earth who knows all the ins and outs of all the minutiae of every single aspect of Google search - from search result algorithm to ingestion to crawling to artificial intelligence? Not a chance.

You don't even have to get as complicated as Google search - any reasonably complex software system with hundreds of engineers working on it will be beyond the comprehension of any human being - fully understanding that is (which also entails knowing exactly all the edge cases, all the bugs, all the unexpected results possible, etc.)

How does the economy work? Nobody knows - but that doesn't mean nothing intelligent can be said about it, or that the Fed can't make reasonable decisions on imperfect information - just like any other incredibly complex system that humans struggle to understand.

Its very easy to claim that everybody else is not following regulation and that the only reason you are losing is because you do. Its much harder to prove.

If anything, GM had more problems and failures of their EVs so far. So the claim that Tesla is ignoring liability and doing much higher risk development is literally just an accusation based on nothing.

In actual fact, GM is spending 10s of billions buying back every single Bolt and they have been forced to shut down the line. At the same time Tesla had no such issues.

So, how about these people actually prove or substantiate in some way that the new comer ignores regulation or quality. Specially when, they themselves have a worse record.

I think this hits the nail on the head. Wealth is protected by a vast array of national and international laws and institutions - everything from protection of intellectual property to the technicalities of making sure that you and I can't both own the same piece of property at the same time. In return for this, it's not unreasonable for national governments to require more transparency in terms of who owns what. (By the by, I think the real reason this doesn't happen is the obvious suspicion that it could lead to more progressive forms of taxation, e.g. wealth taxes.)

Such coordination would be great, but carbon taxes aren't doomed to fail without it. I'd guess that every country has taxes that are worse for competitiveness than a carbon tax, and can be displaced. Additionally, carbon border adjustments can partially impose a carbon tax on producers in countries that won't do it themselves.
I've said to my friends that I think America is in a strange place in history, where bread and circuses have become industrialized enough to truly anesthetize people's political will.

People have Netflix, the Internet, and video games all cheap and at the touch of a button; opioids, antidepressants, and illicit drugs are socially acceptable and easily obtained, sometimes even at a government subsidy; and almost nobody is physically starving or lacking rudimentary shelter (even the poor in America are fed, clothed, and housed to an extent almost unimaginable compared to the shattering destitution experienced in most of human history).

This was not the case in the past, when so many more people were subject to backbreaking manual farm and industrial labor, the real chance of starvation, malnutrition, or outright poisoning from unregulated industrialized food, cramped conditions in drafty, moldy buildings, grim disease, and worst of all, nothing to distract you from it all. One's free time was spent thinking about how unfair it all was, not watching TV. When people are stuck at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid, they have nothing better to do then get mad and start rioting.

But as long as the bread and circuses continue to be effective, the will to riot in the streets is gone. Who cares if a billionaire sneaks in a second yacht on the side? I can just open a bag of Doritos I bought for pennies and switch to the Kardashians. The strange thing is, would we not consider this positive progress?

This touches on something that HN readers should be quite familiar with. The immediate issue here in every case is not legality, ethics, morality, etc., it is privacy.

Hypersonics aren’t new tech, they were tested and developed decades ago by the US. It’s only recently that they’ve made a reappearance. Why do you think it took only 2 years for multiple military branches to spin up and test multiple separate missile designs? I would argue that Russia/China are playing the PR game in order for the US to appear behind in terms of missile technology.
1. Spot interruptions didn't matter much as AWS Batch looks for spots with low interruption probability. Auto retries kicked-in whenever those did get interrupted.

2. Checkpointing was a pain (we relied mostly on AWS Batch's JobState and S3, not ideal), but the current capability to mount EFS (Elastic Filesystem) looks like it would solve this?

3. No hot swapping on-demand with spot and vice versa. Interestingly, ALB (Application Load Balancer) supports such mixed EC2 configurations (AWS Batch doesn't).
One prominent one is that we use fear to control other countries instead of love.

We spend so much human talent on defense, and sure we got a bunch of great technologies, but who's to say that we wouldn't have got them through some other avenue, later? Or perhaps even better technologies. I only speculate about the former, but I am quite certain a lot of the violence in the world has been caused by American Neo-colonialism and the terrorism we imposed upon the world. I am a betting man, and I bet that if we didn't fuck the Russians over so hard in WW2, that we wouldn't have had the cold war.
Democracy is very successful in preventing political violence. Violence is incredibly destructive to people’s real daily welfare.

In a way, it reminds me of the aviation industry, where regulations are put in place because something happened in the past.

At the same time, as regulation gets more complex, it creates new ways to be exploited. The same way more source code means more possibilities for bugs. The bureaucrats play a catch-up game and they are always at a disadvantage.

Real news is expensive, that is why so much of the news has turned into opinion pieces - it costs almost nothing to publish people’s opinions but it grabs eyeballs for advertisers just as well as real news.

When it’s not opinion pieces they are usually promoting someone’s book or hyping up some Lifetime special.

Even before reporting really started circling the drain I always noted how wrong the news got technology stories, and I wondered if all the other topics were just as off.

No we do just our arguments for solving issues for working-class people involve unions, and adopting more democratic socialist approaches. Which over all hurt a corporation's owner's large profits usually based on surplus labour value, and be forced to have that go back to the people producing the corporation's value. So that is an uphill battle fighting 1%s advertising power. Convincing people that it is a system that works and can still be profitable to corporations just means they can't see the massive returns they do currently while contributing to healthy economic environment is extremely difficult. The fact you don't hear more about us advocating for it, is an example of the cultural hold the 1% has on the populous where the ideas aren't covered or are covered as a strawman pie in the sky ideology.

Which compared to social issues of bringing a group of people and their culture as part of a norm happens to also brings in more to the labour force. Corporations and the people that own them can immediately start using their labour value surplus for profits just as they do with other demographics.

I think there are more than a few anectodes. This is not true for google but fb promotes engineers really fast from 3-5 and 6.

3-5 if you don't get promoted after a year and a half or something they mark your packet expectation is you go from 3-5 very quick on average and even faster at the tail.

I did 3-7 in 6 years at Google and it was the fastest in the larger org with >500 people. You can do 4.5 at fb easy.

And yes at fb 7 years would rack lots of engineers 1+ m, even assuming modest gains.

If you don't believe it, it's your choice but not all companies treat employees as average. Google optimizes for average, fb rewards high performers...

There is artificial scarcity of jobs, i.e. employment opportunities. Think about how in a recession people lose their job even though they want to pay rent and buy food. It's because the remaining full time jobs pile up on fewer people. This results in a downward spiral as people without incomes can't spend and those with incomes become cautious and save instead of spending their money.

Let's say the maslow hierarchy ranks needs according how productive they are with shelter and food at the bottom being the most productive and social needs at the top being the least productive.

By that logic we should be employing people according to their needs to achieve high productivity in the economy. If you have two employees and fire one the economy will shift away from the productive part of the economy to the less productive part because the second employee is no longer able to buy food. Income welfare exists for this very reason. To take the surplus of the first employee and reallocate it to food and rent. If we had "job welfare" then we would take the jobs and spread them out over more people.

Instead of, "oh you want to eat? too bad we won't let you work" it's "you eat, you work"
Can you even play Dolby Atmos on Linux? It's not supported by Tidal on Windows, and I don't think any other streaming platform with native Windows app offers it.

Additionally, Linux is more or less just an implementation detail mostly only relevant to OEMs, everyone else uses abstractions provided by Google, so even if Atmos is supported there, it doesn't mean much for the general Linux.

> In history books, you get a sense sometimes that there were eras in which stuff like this sent people into the streets in rages. In which governments were voted out or overthrown, in which meaningful legislative responses were made. Or, you know, riots.

We’ve had people in the streets in rage, riots, and legislative responses to lots of things recently, though not the things that tend to animate the upper-middle class tech-libertarian crowd, which is out of touch with the day-to-day concerns of...pretty much everyone else.

Whether those responses will be meaningful is disputed in the moment and will only be clear with historical distance.

> America is dangerously dependent on imported steel — all at the same time while having the best iron ore deposits, and coke deposits, and cheap energy.

93% of North American steel produced each year is from recycled products [1], and 98% of products are recycled [2]. There is no reason to use either iron ore or coke for steel production when the vast majority of it is produced in electric arc furnaces from scrap steel. It's better economically and better environmentally.

This is also why Nucor has been eating U.S. Steel's lunch for about 50 years, long before China entered the steelmaking business.

>This might have been in A Deepness Upon The Sky, but VV runs out the "Smart Dust" endgame pretty thoroughly, with the conclusion that as miniature sensors reach their peak form of total surveillance (floating invisibly, pervasive, low-power microwave-burst-powered, mesh networked, video/audio/etc), they inevitably destroy civilization.

This is indeed in A Deepness in the Sky. You're the first person in this discussion who's brought this up. This, to me, is the most important insight of Vinge in the Fire/Deepness series.

>Always tantalized by that idea, but always wondered why that would necessarily be the case ...

It's pretty obvious; those with the power to deploy such surveillance are always tempted to use and abuse such power. (EDIT: Let me reword this. Those with the power to deploy such surveillance methods inevitably deploy them. Smart dust is far, far, far more all-encompassing and inescapable than having security cameras on every street corner. The combination of these two things inevitably destroys civilization.)

Because the traders in A Deepness in the Sky use coldsleep and visit planets every few decades or centuries, they notice big changes that occurred incrementally.
New Music isn’t like Discover Weekly from what I understand, it’s more like Release Radar, just music that’s just come out that AM thinks you’ll like. And recommended stations: you can’t add to your library or subscribe to, unlike Spotify; for Spotify they’re just normal, regularly updated playlists you can “Like”, so you can revisit them every now and then and discover new stuff.

BTW, I think Apple Music’s playlists are way better than Spotify’s, so I expect to switch back once they fix the basic experience. I tried to stick to Apple Music for years, and rationalised it with all the features Apple has Spotify doesn’t, but the amount of music I listened to on Apple Music vs. on Spotify just doesn’t lie (obviously an anecdote, and Monterey’s Airplay to Mac will likely fix the bulk of my issues with it)

I totally agree with your take on EarPods, they're a great value.

EarPods have rolled off bass response, but to me the full experience is superior to what I get with in-ear, at least as soon as I start moving. They don't deliver that "sealed off from the world" effect, but I don't actually want that most of the time.

For better fidelity, I prefer my old Grado SR-80 headphones, but they're an open air ear-cup design, so not good in an office environment or similar.

Well, yes.

From the Fed perspective, they've discovered the hard way that the few knobs they can adjust, such as the discount rate, don't do what they thought they did.

Tax and spending policy can control an economy at a finer level of detail, but if taken beyond simple goals, like "increase exports" or "build war materiel", tends to result in boondoggles with lobbies behind them. The dairy industry, NASA, ethanol from corn, and university administration staffs are well known examples. As a control system, it has too much lag for stable control.

One thing that the pandemic has made clear is that today's "free market" has more lag than previously thought. Half-empty store shelves are the new normal. There's a correction, but it's slow. It takes several years to react to a disruption. With long supply chains, back-propagation of market signals through the supply chain takes longer. With today's excessive outsourcing, there may be only a few places in the world making some minor but essential item. Worse, that minor but essential item may not be a big money-maker for the producers, and so they lack the incentive to add capacity.

Then there's overshoot. It now looks like there will be a semiconductor fab glut around 2023.
