I'd say number 2 is a long shot. Political risk is not terribly simple. Eg I worked for a firm that thought the Iraq war would mean oil would rocket and markets crater, didn't go down that way. Point is even if the thing you think will happen happens, the effect is not as obvious as you think. More examples are the monthly NFP figures, you might naively think job losses means economy is doing badly, thus market goes down. But it's rarely that clear.

4 you have to ask yourself about real rates, not nominal rates. Yes you want to get paid interest, but you also have a loss on inflation. Also, you pay tax on nominal but you don't get a credit on inflation.

What you really want to think about is whether rates will get so high that people can't afford to refinance, and are thus forced to sell.

As sad as it sounds, you may want to look into that forced seller thing. When someone hits hard times, it gets even harder due to them having to sell at a loss compared to the market, which for you as a buyer is straight up money in your pocket. See about your local foreclosure markets, I think a lot of them might still be done in an old fashioned show-up-in-real-life and shout way. Depends on where you live.

Finally, it's good to list risks as you do. The big question though, is always whether the market already reflects your thoughts.
Yuval Noah Harari in "Sapiens" has an interesting take on religion. Essentially they form a fictional narrative that deigns this and that. In doing so they create a system which can thread together far larger groups of people, we're thought to be near maximum capacity in dealing with 150 people (according to Dunabr's number). But the fictional narratives of religion (and later government, laws, corporations...) help us to identify our personal relationships, and also help us to ascertain expected behavior, both of self and of other. Thus we can drastically expand interoperability between individuals and groups. This is of course entirely contingent on belief, which basically serves the argument issued in "The Social Contract". He defines this as inter-subjectivity.

I think it's a pretty interesting take.

Apple is targeting the population that has no need for upgrades.

GPUs don't always perform matrix multiplications.

GPUs are just massive SIMD machines, which happen to be pretty good at matrix-multiplication. But systolic arrays (also known as "Tensor Cores" these days) are even better at the job, which is why Google put so much money into TPUs, and NVidia has created special "Tensor Cores" (really, systolic arrays) in their GPUs.

The number of applications that use systolic array matrix multiplications is rather slim: pretty much just the deep learning fellows. Otherwise, those matrix-multiplication routines in the GPU are largely executed using plain-old SIMD programming.

--------

If I were to write a GPU Conway of Life simulator, I'd just do it the same way as before. Counting up each pixel one-by-one and creating a state-transition from old-state to new-state, synchronizing the states / parallel calculation to ensure that there's no race conditions.

--------

To rewrite the Game of Life as a matrix-multiplication would be grossly inefficient. I actually argue the opposite needs to happen.

That is: we need more matrix multiplications written as if they were computer programs. (See my other post in this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29083898). It is clear that matrix-multiplications and graphs are related, but we process graphs with say... CPU-branch predictors (aka: following the instruction-pointer graph across the computer program graph).

You __COULD__ implement that as matrix multiplications. But that'd be a gross waste of energy. Instead, more matrix-multiplications (especially sparse matrix multiplications) should be written to take advantage of branch-predictors and other such features of modern CPUs.

------------

There's absolutely an equivalency between matrix multiplies and graphs. But this post is drawing the precisely opposite conclusion from reality IMO.

Matrix multiplications are incredibly dense and power-hungry. There are faster, cheaper, more efficient algorithms for performing these computations _IF_ you know the matricies are in a certain format. (Ex: tri-diagonal, sparse, or other such setups). Detecting these special forms (especially very common special forms) and optimizing on those is the goal for faster computers these days.

Curious to know how and where you got that impression. There is no such requirement.

There are similar private requirements for the cartel known as NAR. What this means in practice is that pocket listings actually make to to the MLS for one day before apparently being sold "in 1 day".

Zillow as property owner is not part of NAR. Zillow as broker is also not part of NAR, although if they were, they'd do exactly as individuals using pocket listings do. Arrange a sale privately with an institution, place the listing on MLS, then sell it "on the open market" in 1 day.

You can hack the bios to remove the DRM and use 2012 aftermarket batteries, or replace the cells. I dumped my x230, not worth the horribly priced aftermarket (if you break your screen it’s almost as expensive as another laptop and you’ll need to repair it). I love my newer x250 with no DRM for WiFi, 2x SSD slots, cheap batteries that can hotswap, cheaper 1080p IPS replacement screens, and 11hr+ battery life. The x230 already lost the classic keyboard, the new one is fine, and the speakers are retardedly still on the bottom but it’s much louder.

I think the biggest challenges that Ruby faces are:

* No built-in type hinting (you have to reach for Sorbet which is a lot more than just hinting)
* developer ecosystem seems to struggle to get gravity around anything that's not web-related.

Python has so much diversity of packages. You need simplex noise? Package. You need a terminal ui library? Yep. You want to use wxwidgets or qt? Yep and yep. You want to do computer vision? yep.

Ruby can check some of those boxes, to be fair, but ime the ruby solution tends to be less-used, lower-quality, and more likely to just be thin bindings around the C APIs (if relevant) than a more holistic language-native implementation.

I'm a little sad because I honestly like Ruby more than python just from a language perspective. RubyGems alone are better than the trillion packaging solutions that python has churned out. I like ruby's preference for method chaining vs python's list/set/dict comprehensions (just look at what a "2-layer" list comprehension looks like :( )

Also, for the type-hinting thing, maybe it's just me, but the only reason I don't consider python to be a trap is because it added type hinting as a first-class thing. Eventually, as a project grows, you just need types sometimes. I don't like that Sorbet is a) third-party and b) pretty heavy-weight (does a lot more than just type hinting) and I also think it's just not as pretty (it's not part of the grammar so it has to be tacked on, like if python type hinting had to be done via decorators.

I know ruby recently adopted some kind of native type hinting thing, but it's in a separate file, right? Like adding typescript hints onto js code? I don't like that either, it's just going to rot. I haven't been following this closely though, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised there.

You can way cheaper buy a broken laptop of the same model and fix yours with it whereas framework will only have their niche market which won’t be cheaper.

But why? And why "desperately"?

Yes Reaper isn't free (neither beer nor freedom) but it is cheap and extremely customizable, extensible, scriptable, and it works well on Linux (even on a Pi).

It also has many non-free competitors and isn't dominant in its space in any sense of the word.

There has to be a word, maybe from a different language, that describes the feeling/fear of giving someone a gift they will throw out.

I've resorted to giving people edibles (the regular kind, not the psychoactive kind), but it feels thoughtless.

I worked in real estate tech for like five years...

An MLS is nothing but an local organization. There are zero laws requiring a property to be posted on an MLS. I know of zero states with any regulations like what you propose. There's also confusion around the term "Realtor" because "Realtor" isn't actually a thing. It's a brand, a "real estate agent" on the other hand is an actual job.

The real estate industry is *truly* and exceptionally fucked up. The confusion around MLS, "Realtor," and probably loads of other things I'm forgetting are intentional.

> Can you ELI5 how the development of, say, C, reflects the needs of corporations?

Sure, thanks for being interested. Note that I'm not agreeing or disapproving with Rust or with you. It's merely that I'm responding to why someone asked why the Rust community feels compelled to proclaim these types of territorial expansions and why most people don't get it.

I don't have time to ELY5, but you can start with C's inception at corporate-government behemoth AT&T and follow it to e.g. here:

https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/big-picture#standardization-comm...

>"Naturally, many (but not all) of these volunteers have day jobs focused on C++: They include compiler writers, tool builders, library writers, application builders, researchers, book authors, consultants, test-suite builders, and more.

>Here is a very-partial list of some major organizations involved: Adobe, Apple, Boost, Bloomberg, EDG, Google, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat."

Contrast that with, say the Arduino/maker movement... when was the last time they proposed language and standard changes? Although both communities use C, one of them is blinking LEDs in young couples' living rooms and the other is flying helicopters to protect borders which requires massive investment and coordination across hostile, competitive, captialized entities.

> Does every linux install mean less corporate power when, e.g. AWS runs on linux?
No, not always absolutely everything is always completely absolute all the time, forever, but you can contrast AWS running Linux with AWS running Windows and see development they do under e.g. GPL license must be shared back to the community.

> Can you explain what the rust code of conduct (which AFAICT can be summarized as "please be nice") has to do with competition and individualism? Can't I still be a competitive individual without being rude?

It's helpful to them when outsiders glean superficial meanings from the conduct such as that. No offense: We all want to feel warm and fuzzy. It's what they don't say. Take a closer look:

> Everyone is invited to discuss the proposal, to work toward a shared understanding of the tradeoffs. Though sometimes arduous, this community deliberation is Rust’s secret sauce for quality.

Their values prevent geniuses like Stallman from going rogue and embarrassing them socially. This is their tradeoff for the excluding contributions of embarrassing wizards and why it's so valuable for them to capture technical territory.

> We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone.

They will accept an inferior development if it means they can keep their reputation pure.

> Can't I still be a competitive individual without being rude?

Yes you can, but that's the contrapositive of their Code. If you are rude, your competitive contributions are excluded. So it's not "please be nice." It's "if you're not nice, you're not a part of us." Since this makes it harder to get the best people, it's a victory when they're able to pull of large technical feats.
