Interesting.

I suspect the IRS and card processors will crawl up you a lot; and want to chop you off if any of your users stray into controversy. Have you got plans for that?

8% seems quite reasonable for the service; i've seen similar arrangements going up to 25% off revenue.
Can anyone explain this ?

I read burning stuff is generally considered harmful.

So, while electric cars might not be the perfect ecological solution, it might at bring us direct health benefits in the long run.

> There's probably a philosophical term for this attitude.

It's usually referred to as quietism[1]. Quietism on this particular topic (and it's generalization) is probably the most popular kind of quietism actually.

When we ask "do they exist", we invite a certain type of reasoning. "Well consider chairs. We can all agree they exist. In what ways are mathematical objects similar and different from chairs?"

But I have an idea. What if we turn it upside down? "Do mathematical objects *not exist*?" Now we invite the opposite metaphor. "Well consider ghosts. We can all agree that ghosts don't exist. In what ways are mathematical objects similar and different from ghosts?"

I think that fundamentally if you say that mathematical objects do exist, then you have to admit basically everything in - including ghosts. Fundamentally, definitions are a matter of taste and aesthetics, and I dislike a definition that is so broad as to contain everything. That makes it useless for reasoning and discussing.
Agreed. Tesla is so far in front tech-wise and continuing to push.

They were only talking about 4680 and structural battery packs a year ago and it’s about to go into mass production.
Beware that it was created at a time when many programs were written in plain text editors, with no syntax highlighting or autocompletion, with the printed-book language manual on your desk, on a screen that could legibly display only a small fraction of the text that a modern display can (or even ones that came along a few years later). Hence: sigils for variables (though unlike PHP these make some sense and are actually used to do things, and aren't just there because... well, because Perl did it, so PHP should too, I guess); single-character magical variables for very commonly-used loop- or input-related variables; et c.

I don't think anyone would make something quite like it these days, starting form scratch.
Totally, and at some point in the future, if they're super lucky, they might be worth something around half of what they're worth today lol. I don't think they're going to grow the car market, which means they're worth at most what the car market is today. Further, I sincerely doubt theres a world in which they own 100% of the car market, so that means it's overvalued both now and into the future.

Toyota's worth 300B and they have excellent industry-leading margins. Tesla is priced at 900B while shipping a tiny fraction of the cars.

[edit] Tesla shipped 241,000 cars this quarter. Toyota shipped 2.2M. Tesla's car deliveries are literally a rounding error against Toyota's. It would take 6 years of 50% YoY growth to match Toyota's shipments alone this year.

[edit2] Toyota's PE is 9.6, so once mature, Tesla should also trade right around a 9.6 p/e, if they're really lucky.

I remember the Idle Thumbs podcast made a running joke of the fact that 2010 was supposed to be "Year of the PS3" because I believe Kaz Hirai had suggested that it would take multiple years for developers to unlock the true power of the system.

Which is an excellent way to brand how much of a pain it was for Devs to wring performance out of it.

The most benign explanation would be the misguided attempt by their system architects to solve the cheat problem by abusing client resources because it was easier.

The malign explanations border on conspiracy theories, but benign or malign, I too refuse to allow it. Cheating is a scourge of multiplayer games, but this isn't an acceptable solution.

Not an aviation guy, but a car guy. Lead has historically been used to raise the octane rating of gasoline. Octane rating expresses the resistance of the fuel to "knock" which is the sudden explosion of the air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder versus a controlled burn and which can damage the engine. The main factor that raises the octane requirement of an engine is the compression ratio (max cylinder volume to min cylinder volume). High compression ratios generate more horsepower but require higher octane fuel. The other thing is that lead lubricates the valve seats preventing excess wear, but that's a solved problem with hardened valve seats.
This is the first bench I believe might be real. i saw 11542 multi core spammed across news sites a couple days back, but it didn’t align with a 1.7x boost to performance (which this result actually does).
The single core was 1749 which also didn’t make sense as I’d imagine there’s maybe a tiny bit more TDP per core in the MBP 14 and 16 than the OG 13” M1 mbp.
That and it was on macOS v 12.4… which is maybe nonexistent and thus fake?
This score here is believable and incredible.

The answer to where the money has gone is sort of everywhere. Everything from social security payments to military budgets has increased. Everyone makes more and things cost more too.
The book The Box explains that the ILWU, which represents West Coast dock workers, handled containerization much better than its East Coast counterpart. The ILWU was more flexible and proactive, partnering with ports for the upgrades that would in time substantially reduce labor requirements, but saving and prolonging many more jobs than if they had been as intransigent as East Coast workers.

It really comes down to leadership. The ILWU had great leadership that was able to manage relationships better. It's difficult to find that kind of leadership today, especially because people are so quick to cry "corruption" when a leader does anything except be a zealous, loud, and inflexible advocate for their group. (And when they inevitably fail, that's "corruption", too.) Compromise is a dirty word, and no one can maintain the necessary reputational capital amidst relentless character assassinations on social media.
What are Porsche if not a premium brand?

I'll be up front in that I've never sat in either for more than in a showroom, but tell me the Taycan is not premium and the Tesla is. I have never heard of fit and finish issues like I hear Tesla customers complaining about, for example.

No, there’s no indication of population dropping in that article, only the dissolution of a city.

I’m not read up on Cahokia, but it’s probably more similar to the dissolution/dispersal of the (lowland) Maya vs something like a mass die off.

Pre contact population centers were additionally in Mesoamérica & northern South America, where most of the total post contact population drop occurred.

Agreed. I think this is why a tech-enabled startups need a technical co-founder/leadership. Someone need to be the final arbiter/advocate for code quality. There are many things cannot be measured directly or conveniently, e.g. aesthetics (visual quality), culture, interview quality, bureaucracy, etc. All of them indirectly impact bottom line and top line. Big org need measurements for all teams, that's the only way to scale. And that's why in my opinion small business will always find a way to survive, or even thrive, by providing better quality. The quality setup in small team will become the baseline for you to up the game into big org. But once you want to scale, all those none measurable stuff become irrelevant. All boil down to, does it bring in revenue/profit
I have had the opposite experience. Whenever a update to a kernel comes out for Ubuntu my machine apparently forgets which kernel to choose and boots up incorrectly. My M1 MacBook Air drives a Pro Display XDR without any hiccups. Its completely silent when I work with it. But, performance wise the M1 Pro and Max don't seem like they would be worth it for me to upgrade from the M1 at all. I just want a completely silent laptop and it makes a huge difference to me.

But, my workflows and workloads are slowly changing from local compilation of code to one where I will probably just SSH and or possibly figure out how to configure RDP into my Threadripper when I do actual builds and have my Macbook Air M1 with 16GB of Ram and the synergy with other Apple devices is a huge plus.

Have you talked with Apple to get a replacement?

@ekzhu At this point, this is mostly about the "developer experience" for doing time-series analytics within SQL - as you point out - ability to "short-cut" complicated SQL queries.

We actually heard something similar about SQL vs. PromQL - for the more limited domain that PromQL operated in, people really like how simplified it was. (We've also built an observability platform Promscale on top of TimescaleDB [0].) This is one take on bringing this type of simplicity & pipelined analytics to SQL, while remaining fully SQL compliant.

I also hope this isn't out of place, but if these types of problems interest you, we're always looking for great people (and lots of folks here have a research background). Shoot me a note:

I went through a cycle of: study ruby -> start using rails -> seems magical -> realize you don't know ruby yet -> study more -> rails no longer feels magical.

Apple's core competency is selling hardware, with a tightly integrated ecosystem to optimize user experience with that hardware.

There is no incentive to facilitate introducing that hardware into an uncontrolled foreign ecosystem. Apple does not want users looking at their computer while muttering "this sucks" when "this" is an OS+UI famous for incomplete/buggy behavior.

You need to consider the larger target group of professionals.
It's really GPU capabilities that blow everything away.
If you don't plan to use your MacBook Pro for video/photo editing or 3D modeling, then a M1 Pro with the same 10-core CPU and 16-core Neural Engine has all you need and costs less.
Unless I'm missing something I don't think there much added benefit from the added GPU cores in your scenario, unless you want to go with the maximum configurable memory.
What current margins? At what scale? Toyota has a best-in-class 6% profit margin, substantially better than its competitors sitting at 3%, and earns 20 billion dollars. Even at the most optimistic margins Tesla is vastly overvalued.

i9-11900K is 125W TDP, and the M1 is probably nowhere near that (M1 is 10-15W TDP)
Fairness can only be achieved in a competitive environment without unnecessary and contrived leverage. It's really hard to find something fair when unions elect politicians who write laws for unions that allow strangling negotiations that give unions more money to elect politicians who write laws for unions... and on and on.

What happens with that high leverage, low competition environment is you end up with the richest country on earth having huge supply chain bottlenecks and rated as having some of the worst ports in the world.

This is the comment he left on that post.
"It appears my previous comment may have have been interpreted in a manner differently from what I intended, which was as a statement of (lack of) empirical correlation rather than (lack of) causation. More precisely, the point I was trying to make with the above quote is this: if one considers a population of promising young mathematicians (e.g. an incoming PhD class at an elite mathematics department), they will almost all certainly have some reasonable level of intelligence, and some subset will have particularly exceptional levels of intelligence.

An age ago I used to be a huge fan of the Boo programming language, a .NET runtime language that was vaguely python-ic (Unity hired the author & made UnityScript with this work).

One of the great features I loved was Boo's metaprogramming capabilities. Among others, like E, the quasi-parser was easy to reach for & use at runtime. The tests are a good way to see Boo features, here's a quasi-quote test, which uses a Quasi-quote to get some code, then adds to that AST imperatively: https://github.com/boo-lang/boo/blob/master/tests/testcases/...

At the time, having the compiler & AST all defined in .NET, managed, was incredibly cool & exciting. Now .NET does that pretty pervasively, but at the time, being able to build & compile & load code at runtime was sweet.

I wrote something using a mode Clang used to have where Clang could print out some XML about structures it was compiling via an --ast-print-xml flag, then auto-built a .NET wrapper around parts of that library, a long long time ago, specifically so I could auto-generate a .NET interface to Linux's input.h, making extensive use of macros & quasi-quotes, ~ a decade ago. It's probably awful but it's a fun memory to have, & feels like a good use of all that managed compiler services & quasi-quotes & AST. https://github.com/rektide/vimp/blob/master/src/main/boo/Voo... https://github.com/rektide/input-sharp/
Here's the link to the MacBookPro18,2 OpenCL benchmark:

* M1 Max OpenCL https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/3551790 [60,167 OpenCL Score]

Comparing to my current MacBook Pro (16-inch Late 2019) & my Hetzner AX101 server:

* MacBook Pro (16-inch Late 2019) vs M1 Max - CPU https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/10496766?baseli... [single 163.6%, multi 188.8%]

* MacBook Pro (16-inch Late 2019) vs M1 Max - OpenCL https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/compare/3551790?bas... [180.8%]

* Hetzner AX101 vs M1 Max - CPU https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/10496766?baseli... [single 105.0%, multi 86.4%]

* NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 vs M1 Max - OpenCL https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/compare/3551790?bas... [80.7%]

* NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 vs M1 Max - OpenCL https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/compare/3551790?bas... [29.0%, boo]

I'm surprised the MacBook holds its own against the Hetzner AX101's AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core CPU! The multi-core SQLite performance surprises me, I would think the M1 Max's NVMe is faster than my server's SAMSUNG MZQL23T8HCLS-00A07.
It's probably worth tracking and considering as a metric for matchmaking, but a couple potential downsides could be lowering the player pool where other parameters like latency have to be expanded, it having the potential for reverse boosting/smurfing in order to grantee stomping worse players, and at least some people not finding it enjoyable depending on implementation/complaining about "forced" 50:50 winrates.[1][2] Not to say it's necessarily worse than the alternative, but there's at least some discontent with at least some of the implementations.

Overwatch for example doesn't seem to try and fill in say 6 players of a range of 2500-2600 ELO, but will pull something like 2 higher ELO player and 4 low ELO players, partially due to there only being so many higher than average players to matchmake.[3] "Good" players get "bad" players to bring down their winrate and "bad" players get "good" players to bring theirs up. This miss-match might contribute to why some people become so toxic, especially when having fun relies on your teammates so heavily and everyone wants to be the DPS.

Also personally I enjoy playing against better players (within reason) in order to improve my own gameplay via imitation.

Well you should rethink that. The people who invest in Moderna are just like you and that appeals to you because they're other people with their own money that you want to direct.

Pretty much your whole justification is that they've happened to invest in medicine and intentionally positioned themselves outside the burning building. You're investing in what? Yourself? Thin soup.
Honestly I think you'd have to be pretty proficient at APL for the touchscreen typing to become a problem. When I dabble in APL, I use the mouse to click on the buttons in the Dyalog language bar[0].

Its not clear to me that Apple will make a desktop-class processor. The unit economics likely don't make sense for them.

All of Apple's innovation seems to be towards better and cheaper AR/VR hardware. Desktop-class processors would be a distraction for them.

And with all of the top cloud players building custom silicon these days, there is little room for Apple to sell CPUs to the server market even if they were inclined (which they are not).

The only strategic Apple vertical that might align with desktop-class CPUs is the Apple Car initiative and specifically self-driving. Dedicated audio/image/video processing and inference focused hardware could better empower creatives for things like VFX or post-processing or media in general. However, its not clear to me that is enough of a market for Apple's unit economics compared with more iDevice / MacBook sales.

I truly believe some people believe they are working towards fairness, but when you investigate their motivations, they give off all the signals of someone who is motivated by something else. The masquerading can also exist in the form of hiding what you truly believe from yourself.

As an example, try this: ask someone who doesn't believe that billionaires should exist if they could snap their fingers and make all billionaires vanish, but nobody would become any wealthier, would they? I've seen that answered yes way too many times. That tells me that some people just don't want to know that someone is doing better than them, regardless of if it actually impacts them or not.
