Your argument is that the cost and side effects don't matter, the war on drugs must be won no matter what. You hand wave away the negative consequences (illegal immigration can be magically dealt with with better enforcement!). If that's your perspective then I can't change your mind because it's coming from a place of ideology.

"The only people who 'state' right-leaning people's interests are left-wing publications trying to create strawmen. Perhaps listen to others instead of imagining their interests?"

What? Illegal immigration, taxes, crime and the economy are among the top issues for conservatives, and your drug war is making all of those things worse. If you think these aren't concerns for conservatives you are just wrong. Polling of conservatives establishes this clearly as does the rhetoric of leading conservatives. The economy, crime and illegal immigration were all big parts of Trump's platform.

I vote conservative for the most part. I'm just not one of those authoritarian dick head conservatives that try to control other people's lives over victimless crimes. And no, the person who smokes pot isn't a victim. Tobacco and alcohol are worse for the body than the occasional vape, so I completely reject your premise.

Ports are already operated by local government. This is standard practice in basically all countries. The most efficient port in the world, Yokohama, is operated by the local harbor district, in exactly the same manner as Long Beach operated by the local city council.

I don't think nationalization is going to solve the problem here.
are we getting MANG or HANG instead of FANG?
We often investigate things without knowing what value, if any, doing so will produce. It seems odd to require a business plan up front here. People do have them, entire metaphysical projects rest on this question and they can definitely tell you why it matters to them, but I question whether they should have to.
My colleague has an M1 Mac. I have a Ubuntu desktop. My colleague always asks me to transcode videos on my machine because on her MacBook it is too slow.
The problem with those insane bull cases is that the various "verticals" are mutually exclusive because they cannibalize each other.

If they ever deliver on the promises of FSD, cars will become safer, which will diminish accidents which will diminish insurance payout which will diminish revenue which will diminish insurance profits, because it's an extremely regulated business where profit margins are regulated.

If they deliver on the robotaxi promise, why would anyone buy a car themselves when they can just robotaxi everywhere? If the cars make money, why would Tesla sell the cars to people in the first place?!? And if they own all their cars, how would they make money off of insurance? The only reasonable future is that making money off your robotaxi Tesla is a pipedream, which means you can't count on that argument to drive sales.

For insurance to win, FSD has to fail. But for sales to soar, FSD has to win.

Following the Smart Money: A Study of Long-Term Holders
So my spouse and I built a 'bland box'. We did it for simplicity and practicality sake. Few breaks to the roof line = few opportunities for my roof to leak in 40 years. Simple design with a smaller footprint = more money available for high quality materials in the walls, floors, and ceilings. Tan siding because it's cheap and easy for me to fix on my own when it gets broken. Dark brown shingles because they will fade to light brown over their life and still look okay instead of needing to be replaced in the first 10 years of their 30 year life.

Just saying, some people do these things for different reasons.
> But it is meaningless since they did not write about it

The story of Leifur Eiríksson lived in the oral tradition and was eventually written down in Grænlendinga Saga around 250 years later (which is still another 250 years before Columbus).

I bet that possible Polynesian contact would have lived in the oral tradition in a similar manner. Though way more time passed until the stories Polynesian were written down so I would expect them to be a bit more fantastical with the added time.
Liberty Mutual is a $16B business, Panasonic is a $30B business and financing profits and revenues are usually included in car company valuations - certainly in VW's case.

Even a successful entry into both those businesses would be 45B, or 5% of Tesla's current market cap.
I don’t care whatsoever what so-called experts think. This is how I evaluate risk:

1. Are we dealing with complex mechanisms that are not fully understood? (in this case, human biology and immune response)

2. Are we operating in an environment that is itself complex and weakly understood? (in this case, the broader ecosystem including other viruses and new variants)

3. Do we have clear channels/signals of information? (do we have all the reliable and comparable stats we’d like, anything approaching controlled experimental data etc)

4. Are there incentives for people to distort the information? (are their significant monetary and political factors weighing on outcomes)

Left as exercise to the reader to apply this to covid.
FDA clears boosters for Moderna and J&J Covid-19 vaccines
I got interviewed by Michael Seibel and didn't get into YC. The difference is my startup was doing 6-figures a month & growing 20% monthly but Michael just hated the idea. It was in cannabis and YC publicly stated they were interested in cannabis companies but apparently not cool with the whole smoking weed part.

It honestly felt like a big waste of time. The critiques weren't helpful, mostly just along the lines of "Why should I like your idea?". I thought we did well in the interview and kept our cool the whole time. We weren't in it for the money as we were profitable and wanted to expand our professional network and talent pool. It felt like we were just there to teach them about the cannabis market. We were acquired a couple years later with a nice outcome and I hold nothing against Seibel but I wish it hadn't felt like he was so antagonistic from the start.
Performance doesn't go down linearly with power. I don't have that card to try, but maybe it would do even better at 15% of power.
I don't think this is true at all, kids have their own little personalities and value systems. If kids actually valued whatever adults told them to value they would all be perfect students. My P.E. teacher told me to value exercise but I still wound up being a fat kid.

>"If critical thinking were an important part of early educations, kids would care about it."

I challenge this because teaching critical thinking to kids is in no way a new concept. Educators have been teaching critical thinking skills for ages - even the Ancient Greeks tried to teach this stuff to their kids. I think the GP is right in saying that most people don't actually care to do much critical thinking. Not a lot of people actively want to challenge their own worldviews and deeply held beliefs - no matter how many tools you give them to enable that mindset.
Is there any reason why the Intel CPU wouldn’t run at 4.9 GHz for the single core benchmark though - whilst the M1 would be limited to a much lower frequency which it can sustain for much longer?
>to listen to that pain

With the business problem being at its core "Millenials have too much disposable money and time on their hands, much more than they know what to do with", one really has to put an effort to creatively search for and to listen very carefully to find any pain in that.
The M1 Max is slightly off-square and 432mm^2. 19.1 x 22.6 seems like a decent fit.

TSMC has stated that N7 defect density was 0.09 a year ago or so. They have also since stated that N5 defect density was lower than N7.

Let's plug that in here https://caly-technologies.com/die-yield-calculator/

If we go with a defect density of 0.07, that's 94 good dies and 32 harvest dies. At 0.08, it's 90 and 36 respectively.

If we put that at 120 dies per wafer and $17,000 per wafer, that's just $141 per chip. That's probably WAAAYY less than they are paying for the i9 chips in their 2019 Macbook Pros.

For comparison, AMD's 6900 GPU die is 519mm^2 and Nvidia's 3080 is 628mm^2. Both are massively more expensive to produce.
> were stuck on relatively outdated x86-64 CPUs.

We came to a point when X86 is faster to emulate, than to run on a more modern microarchitecture.

One point is clear: per-transistor performance of X86 is dimishing with each new core generation, and it is already losing to M1.

X86 makers will not be able to keep up for long. They will have to keep releasing bigger, and hotter chips to keep parity, until they cannot.
There's plenty of things to shit on Tesla and Elon with, but I think this is the wrong take in this particular instance. Not inviting Tesla to the EV summit and acting like they don't exist is pretty suspect.
The new privilege is having an intact, mostly-functional family. (Note well: not rich, functional.) That's the lifeboat that will prevent equality of outcomes. Pity that so few have it.
Civilizations around the world definitely acquired similar technology with suspicious timing, but the common factor doesn't need to be humans. One theory I'm fond of is river deltas. The major ones all formed around 7,000 years ago (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A47ythEcz74) as a geological result of the end of the ice age. After humanity spread to the Americas during the ice age, the end of the ice age seems to have created the conditions necessary for agriculture to flourish. Once you have agriculture you get cities, writing to track harvest numbers, pyramids from laborers working in the off season, and metalworking from craftspeople .
> This fundamentally has to do with the embrace of relativism at all levels of society.

Oh, dear Dog.

That's a cliched reframing of decades of social change. Which is the deeper rejection of the Almighty? Strip malls or McMansions? Skyscrapers or Tiny Homes?

If you start with a narrative, and squint hard enough, anything can be about Relativism. It usually isn't though.
Mattel Mega lets you build a Tesla Cybertruck out of 3k-plus bricks
I envy you for never having issues with VS Code. I have to restart it far, far too often for it grinding to a halt. I'll lose my auto-complete menus completely. Forget auto-completing any paths (like for imports) when it gets to this state. I have to restart my whole computer sometimes.

I have minimal plugins, but have once again removed some more that I thought were helpful, performance got a little bit better again. But we shall see how long it holds up, as I've done this a couple times now in an attempt to gain reliable performance. This is on basically a brand new 15" i9 Intel MBP.

I'm not the only one I've talked to that has random slow-downs like this. I've literally contemplated going back to Sublime Text 2 for my sanity - I just want things to work reliably. Oh, and if you accidentally click on one of your build files, enjoy the system lock-up!

I don't need new features every month in VS Code that I won't use. I just want better performance on the basics so I can get back to being in flow, writing code, solving problems.
A green card is _not_ an employment based immigrant visa or even a visa at all - the H-1B is. A green card holder has permanent residency and can apply for largely any job a US citizen can. Further they are not required to leave the country on becoming unemployed.

The immigrant visa is usually a stepping stone to permanent residency via a green card though, and this lawsuit is absolutely related to that process - when applying for permanent residency (green card) on an H-1B, the employer must supposedly prove they couldn’t hire an American to do same job. This is usually called the “PERM process”.

There has always been a gray area as to what that standard means, I’ve seen different companies interpret it very differently. When we talk about employment based immigrant visas and Facebook, it is overwhelmingly the H-1B (the data on visas issued is public).
is there any explanation for why disease didn't kill in the reverse direction? Why weren't Europeans wiped out by Native American diseases?
> In most employment situation there is no advocate for the workers to begin with.

This is only true in employment situations with little to no scarcity in labor supply. That is not actually the case in most skilled jobs, certainly not at present. In skilled work, the employer has a clear need to keep their employees satisfied otherwise they cannot sustain their labor needs. Labor scarcity by definition creates substantial alignment between the desires of workers and the needs of the business.
> Tracking is needed to optimize outcomes across all levels of performance

Multidimensional/multilevel tracking of the type used in secondary schools seems to be, if not essential, at least useful to that goal.

Unidimensional two-track gifted/mainstream tracking has show itself to be suboptimal, especially for gifted students, who tend to be all over the map in their performance levels in different skill areas. The same techniques of providing assignments that engage at multiple levels and individualized enrichment needed to deal with that within gifted classrooms turns out to also be better for non-gifted classrooms, and to render the whole gifted/non-gifted segregation a pointless exercise that only causes unnecessary harm, stigma, and division.

Sony is a hardware company. So they thought they were great at making and evaluating hardware.

Ironically, the CEO of nVidia once stated that nVidia is a software company - the graphics cards are just dongles that monetize the software. This is what Sony missed.

The story I heard was that when sony finally went to buy a graphics card, they wouldn't pay for the software side of things. When nobody could get any performance out of it, they went back, cap in and and asked for the software to go with the hardware. Don't know if it's true, but I developed on PS3 and it feels true.

As I understand it, it was US developers and leaders like Mark Cerny that begged sony to stop fucking around and just make a console with a big cpu and a big gpu.

There's a difference?

The core leverage of a union is a mafia-style "wouldn't it be a shame if your business burned down?". How are you drawing the line between union and racket? Is there something more nuanced than what you find socially acceptable?

What would be the reason to use android apps on windows besides them not being available on windows? What feature could an android app running on windows do that a windows application couldn't do?
I think this is really unlikely. PC gaming is an increasingly important market for Windows in the consumer space. As more casual users abandon conventional PCs for increasingly capable tablets and smartphones, PC gaming is only becoming and even bigger piece of the pie.

The day Microsoft announces that the next version of Windows will be wholly incompatible with player's existing libraries is the day Windows ceases to be relevant to this market. Suddenly, Wine and Proton on Linux go from being "pretty good, but real Windows works better" to being the best option by a mile.

And this is without mentioning how important legacy support is to enterprise customers. A whole lot of the jank and inconsistent UI designs present in Windows 11 is there because enterprise customers still use old software that relies on old features and APIs.
When will the code be available? Its MIT, so it should be on github, but it's not.
I agree a lot of the balance has shifted this way but I don't see this as bad.

When you are very wealthy you can have both but for those without that much money I don't blame anyone for choosing functionality over the aesthetics of a neighborhood. It seems rather insane to me to insist that your neighbor must increase their budget 20 or 40 percent (perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars) just so your house can be a couple percentage points more desirable.
agreed. musk promises the moon and often doesn't deliver and always delivers late if at all. some examples of crazy promises:
- humanoid robots
- profitable tunnels/loop
- rocket propelled cars
- a semi
- a truck
- a network of cars that that can generate income for you passively by driving themselves around as a taxi service
- cars that drive themselves that are safer then human drivers
...

im not saying Tesla isn't successful and never delivers but it does seem exponential what musk promises and while i think it's possible, managing all these massive projects is probably too much for the company. the humanoid robots thing for me really make me feel like he's just feeding investor hysteria. (i was a former musk fanboy)

What's the benefit of being weird today? A console can achieve pretty amazing graphics with basically off-the-shelf components, so the company isn't really buying much buy rolling their own solution.

The 3d was still being figured out in the 90s, which is what lead to so much diversity in product lineups. Not just for game consoles, but video cards, graphics API, etc. Being weird/unique was necessary because everyone was treading in uncharted territory.

Prior to the 3d era, game consoles had repurposed/customized off the shelf components. The 6502 and it's variants were used in all kinds of consoles and computers. And the 68000 was used in many, many more.

Gaming consoles have come full circle.

Isn't this basically nonsense? Are you sure every child is exceptional in some way? How do you know? Have you measured? How would you react to a perfectly ordinary, unremarkable child? Would your worldview just collapse? What does the word "exceptional" mean to you?

Why does the intrinsicness of the property matter?

To my knowledge they are given out to all students at a particular grade/age - YMMV. If teachers must select students then clearly teacher bias would be a factor.
Ads for new phones typically read "Screen images simulated". No one should blame Theranos for using carefully configured images in their marketing brochures - if the graphic designer used actual photos at all instead of CAD renders and simulated screenshots, you'd expect them to clear a fault or get a passing test before hitting the shutter. If there were some machines visible from the front lobby, if they were live and just running "demo mode" that's basically the same as putting a sticker with a passing test over the display.

I give Apple a ton of credit for running with real demos, as shown by the fact that they fail, like the FaceID snafu:

https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/9/12/16296912/a...

Or Steve Jobs' wifi disconnection:

https://www.cnet.com/videos/steve-jobs-demo-fail/

A lot of Apple demos include simulated marketing screen sequences too, but if they had 'lip synced' these parts I don't think anyone would have noticed. Clearly, they didn't, or else those two failures would not have happened.

Regardless, I don't think Theranos running a "null protocol" or "demo mode" is particularly surprising. You can't blame them for wanting to avoid something like the machine blurting out "You Are HIV Positive" during a demo. I do think there's a difference between a marketing demo where you expect to be lied to and a "this is a standard production machine running an actual test" lie. The question is which side of that divide the Theranos investor demos fell on.
i doubt it'll even initialize.
Likewise, I don't use fish for exactly this reason. It seems extremely fine tuned to meet exactly the preferences of its developers, and eschews all further configurability. The Clippy comparison is brilliant, by the way, pretty much summarizes my exact feelings about the suggestions.

I ended up back on zsh. It's a real shame, because fish adds quite a lot in terms of improved subshell syntax and intelligent string manipulation.

Seems like someone should have been able to disable the suggestions using a plugin or something, given that IIRC fish has a plugin interface. But as far as I can tell no such thing exists.
