Seed Stories: Mozart Data “Go from siloed messy data to analysis-ready in hours”
Me! I grew up in Ohio and live in Hungary. The biggest sacrifice has been a native English speaking community around me. Virtually everyone I know in Hungary speaks fluent English, and I learned Hungarian, but there's still a big gap when it comes to the ability to feel intimately understood and connected with my peers. But I've gained a language, an amazing and very livable captial city (great public transport, amazing coffee shops, coworking spaces, parks, hiking, boating and museums), an extremely affordable lifestyle (since I still have a US-based income), an EU passport, and countless other things. For me, one of the nicest things currently is that there's a lot more trust in society and muted culture wars. People in public are more peaceful and reasonable, and there's very little fear of getting cancelled over political disagreements. Not saying it's perfect, and there are still political dramas going on, it just doesn't infect daily life as much.

Looks great, congrats on launching!

I'm curious how you differentiate yourselves from Airbyte, which isn't really designed for reverse ETL but can be used for it. And do you ever see Castled supporting regular ETL?

Right now there is a lot of separation in the market between ETL and reverse ETL, but it seems like a pain to maintain separate tools when you could just do both in one.

It always blew my mind that Arm is worth that much solely licensing intellectual property. Wouldn't it be more cost efficient for some of their biggest customers to simply hire engineers who can produce similar output? Can someone give me insight into their design team?(size, history, experience, etc.)

Maybe is was part your fault for not speaking clearly.
“They use just the instruction set and make their own microarchitecture.”

Is that really the case? My understanding is that while, yes, they make their own microarchitectures, they rely heavily on IP from ARM to make that happen

Do they write their own instruction decoders, FPUs, etc? I thought they started with the reference designs for a core and then tweaked them to their liking, some companies tweaking more than others

A peek inside Qualcomm’s upcoming chips, for example: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17091/qualcomm-announces-snap...

All of the main cores are ARM reference designs. Qualcomm does add proprietary IP, but it is more oriented around their strengths, like integrating their 5G modem into the die, which is something that none of the other big chip manufacturers can do at the moment (to my knowledge)
Didn't that kind of already happen with all the outsourcing in the 90s and 00s?

> William Gibson writing about a better future? That's not what I saw in his books

Neuromancer definitely wasn't optimistic, but the description of the software agents (can't remember the terms Gibson used) were so cool that I would interpret it as a kind of inspiration (the cousin of optimism). I'm talking about how the main character would be making his way through cyberspace and he would see the other programs, people, etc. as 3D forms.

I agree that this thesis around "SF needs to be usefully optimistic" is a bizarre presumption.

Allen Wu was removed from his post. Not only did he decline, he took off a chunk of the company with him. That is a move of douchery in business I've never seen anywhere in the Western world in my time alive.

I keep saying for years: Unitl someone comes with a totally revolutionary battery that's 10 times better than what we have now, neither e-cars nor e-bikes are worth the hassle.

By far the biggest sacrifices are family, friends and social network.

However, the opportunities for growth and learning far outweigh the cons.

Staying connected with people in different time zones can be challenging, but technology provides so many solutions.

For example I use FaceTime to talk with family. It doesn’t cost anyone anything (if they are connected to WIFI) and I don’t have to deal with the cost for international calls.

Building a new social network is hard. Meeting people (especially now) is hard. You will want to dedicate a large portion of time to put yourself in environments that can allow you to meet people, who will hopefully become friends.

The growth and learning opportunities are life changing and I think it is certainly worth trying to live and work abroad for a couple of years.

I can try to answer any questions or clarify if anyone has any more questions.

>Constant articles and such with very little data. Very frustrating as a reader.

Very personal opinion ahead (and not tailored to this specific topic): that's most journalism for you. They're not here to "inform the citizen" as a noble mission. Most of the things the press publishes are greatly exaggerated and dramatic to evoke different emotions to the reader which are closely tied to an agenda. The fix is IMHO easy: stop consuming such media once you find such disparities instead of reading again and again about the same and other topics, because they'll most likely lie/exaggerate in everything else and at the end, you'll be happier and better informed by not filling your memory with bs.

The problem with AirTag and similar is that it's sole purpose is to provide an extremely minor convenience at the expense of allowing anyone at all to expose anything and everything its technology possibly can expose. It puts advanced location tracking in the hands of the consumer-at-large, a technology that no one needs nor realized they wanted until made to want. By and large, it allows people to choose to be dumber, at least that was its purpose before someone discovered they could use it to expose clandestine operations. Bear in mind, spies are people, too, and we only ever hear about terrible spies.

You should probably be saying "I" instead of "you". Anecdotally, I've never had trouble going to sleep even a couple hours after having modafinil. If anything, it's a more peaceful transition to sleep too. Modafinil makes me feel relaxed and refreshed. Like going to bed after taking a shower, or being in a hot tub or something.
PCBs are fine. It's sealed in transformers. There's an empty lot downtown near me where a substation used to be and they can't build anything on it. A whole city block paved over with a fence around it that will never be used for anything again.

Asbestos is fine, it's stuck in the walls, or it's in break pads nobody is inhaling, etc. However, many large industrial companies slowly went broke over decades because of asbestos lawsuits as cancer linked to asbestos slowly killed 10s of thousands of former employees.

Luckily lead is not as toxic as those two, but these panels are going to break in hailstorms and such and slowly leach. They'll get piled high in landfills in developing countries, etc. Always got to keep all that in mind.

I've done similar work (cross-platform toolkit) so I know that it is not trivial but doable.

Sublime HQ is not a big company, if they can do it most companies can.

I am pretty sure they are enjoying the payoff of the early decision of going cross-platform and using their own custom built toolkit.

Also, you don't have to do everything from scratch, libraries like glfw are well maintained and can help a lot.

I made my own with 16.5 mm key spacing. And it uses low profile switches and needs very low profile caps due to the way I mounted the top plate. I didn't feel like the usual way of mounting a plate would be rigid enough with my tight spacing; there'd be very little material between the switches. So my plate is on top of the switch body, with circular holes for the stems.

It took about two weeks of consistently taking it at the same time with the same bedtime (or as close as possible) to get the dreams going.

That being said, legit it is like living two lives, for me. You get the boring daytime life, then you can fly and turn into a horse and shoot lasers and just generally fuck shit up however you want at night. Super cool.
Moved from Seattle to Munich, Germany a few years ago.

Biggest sacrifices: Pay is kind of a huge one. There are very few companies (even global ones) that pay the same in Europe as they do in the US. If I moved back to the US with my current company, I would get a ~70k/year increase in salary. Social situation is the other big one. It's hard to ever feel like you totally fit in as an expat.

Biggest gains: Quality of life is generally higher - food is better (quality, not taste, Munich's food scene kind of sucks), public transportation is better, healthcare is largely better (although again, a little weird in Germany). 6 weeks of vacation as a baseline in most places and unlimited sick leave. Generally more of an emphasis on work/life balance and taking time for yourself.

> Despite its reputation, I find that Europe is far more provincial than the US when it comes to food

That might be an external reputation, but it wouldn't be one that Europeans would have. People forget that Europe isn't a country, but a collection of different countries, all with long histories, and long histories means a lot of regional differences even _within_ countries.

> It is colder in most of Europe than the US,

I think people forget how far north Europe is: Paris is further north than Seattle. For how far north everything is, Europe is positively _balmy_!

> It's like a fucking Joy Division video here from October through April.

And that's why, especially in Northern Europe, a lot of the culture is around, for want of a better term, coziness: it's only a little to do with the cold, and everything to do with the dark.
To be fair, if I lived in la, I'd hate America too.
It isn't necessarily just laziness. The first step to fixing the problem means accepting the results, which in this case meant accepting a certain racial group of (silently lead-poisoned) kids had measurably lower intelligence. I don't think I need to explain why that is a minefield.
Yes, this was the insanity, they waved through selling it to Softbank, but then cottoned on to how important it was once they realised it was going to be acquired by Nvidia. They shouldn't have let it sell in the first place, but atleast they're fixing that now, and if they can guide it towards an IPO that would be a very good result.
The wait is really months.

Also the quality of the NHS is pretty bad. The NHS being great is the usual state-backed propaganda you can hear in a lot of other European countries to justify spending all that tax money on healthcare.

Just from my personal experience:
They skipped some safety measures they were supposed to follow during a birth delivery, they dealt terribly with one of my newborns after birth, they recommended removing 4 teeth of a 2 year old (we went private and all his teeth are fine and have been properly cleaned), they said that what we thought was a cavity was just a "discolouration" (it was a cavity, we dealt with it privately).

Luckily most decent employers pay private insurance (BUPA is very popular).

I loved Starflight so much growing up. One of my favorite gaming stories—on a planet near to where you start, you can find an artifact that claims to solve all of the problems you have in the game. And artifacts in Starflight have silly names like "Whining Orb" or "Black Egg". So when this artifact was named "Red Herring", I didn't think much of it. Sadly, it took 50.1 cubic meters, and your rover can only carry 50 cubic meters. I spent a while trying to figure out how to pick that up. Years later, when I learned what the phrase "red herring" meant, I was like "sonofabitch!".

I lived in Dublin IE for a year (mid-2017 -- mid-2018), on temporary assignment from my US-based position. I relocated from Florida with my wife and teenage son, who attended a public school and seems to have enjoyed the experience overall. We spent a fair amount of our free time traveling around Ireland itself, the UK, and the continent, which we would not have done nearly as long or as frequently from the US. I enjoyed the experience very much, and would definitely consider making a longer-term move if the opportunity were to arise.
> Before “offering solutions,” sci-fi must actually grapple with the material realities of our present

These scare quotes are misleading, since the author appears to have just made them up. The only person who used this phrase is him, when he does an imitation of something Neal Stephenson might say. In fact, the point of Project Hieroglyph wasn't to offer solutions, it was to inspire the next generation to come up with solutions of their own. It's a laudable goal, and perfectly in keeping with the use of art, going back a lot longer than SF has been around.

I'm not sure the problem the author has with it, or what he thinks should happen instead. It seems like maybe he just wants stories about "the material realities of the present" in which nothing is allowed to improve at the end of the story, because there is still suffering in the real world? Sounds fun, can't wait to read his books.
