I saw it in the article and literally thought it was a straw man. I believed the author was arguing against a 6-6 division and introduced a more unbalanced shift to try to make their position seem reasonable.

You're the first person I've seen suggest that this is a thing and I'm kind of shocked. What reasoning would there be for unequal division of the additional slices in A's favor?
Hadn’t considered the DDOS issue before… but why can’t they just make the XMPP server nxdomain instead so there’s nothing to DDOS?
This isn't about innocence but about why Europe became rich. A large part of what made Europe rich was that they had much more advanced military technology and used said technology to take over the rest of the world.

So then, how did they get so superior military technology? It wasn't colonialism, they didn't import guns from their colonies and the colonial powers weren't ahead of the rest of Europe in military technology.

Hotz is definitely iconic and I agree a lot with him.
Talking about business: I think the fastest way to human level artificial intelligence is through biology. If we synthesised a human brain (or maybe just partially developed a human embryo, if we care more about science than a human life) and tried to connect it to digital signals maybe we could train it and eventually come up with automatic ways of doing so.
You know, I've asked this exact question before, but I've changed my mind. Here is what I'd tell them: "Congratulations on being wealthy enough to afford tuition. Try to be considerate of the people less fortunate than you."

I think that is a little harsh. A huge amount of tech work is not meaningful. Almost none of what tech companies output is required for a meaningful or happy life. It’s just that humanity is addicted to growth and things and just “doing stuff” thinking it all matters. Just look at the several meaningless companies YC supports.

Some meaningful tech work can be found in healthcare, social work, some portions of national security work, environmental research, teaching, and other places, but they are the exceptions. My definition of meaningful is that it either helps people, in a real way, or furthers knowledge or adds to the expression of humanity (i.e., art).

In my opinion, if someone can siphon off value from the human constructed rivers of the financial markets, and then use that value to live a good life, then I don’t see the problem. Some loose arguments about market liquidity could be made.
Would offering that course have spread the same n students across m + 1 courses? (Hence an increase in instructional costs, but no increase in tuition revenue.)

Red herring. Subject of TFA is the value of school. This example family wasted $200k on a low-value thing that only seems to exist because companies are terrible at recruiting. It's worse for someone who has to go in a lifetime of debt, but ideally neither the rich nor poor family would have to waste their money.
I keep hoping Apple will put out a new iPod touch. My kids use mine a lot, and I've thought about getting a another one, but it doesn't seem worth it to pay full price for a 5-year-old device.

Instead I just replaced the battery in mine. (Which was a huge PITA, but ultimately worth it.)

> GPUs and CPUs are not simply "pump more power in it to go faster hurr hurr".

I agree, they're not a simple "throw more power and it'll go faster" problem. However, that doesn't mean they do not go faster if you increase clock speed and give it a little more power.

After all, overclocking would be utterly pointless over the past two decades and Intel/AMD wouldn't benefit from the so-called turbo boost technology. (I know M1 doesn't have turbo boost).

Just to be clear, yes, there's a limit to everything of course. There's a balance where certain higher clocks would cause a bottleneck in the rest of the system since this is a SoC.

In this case, I used the 100-120w number because Apple used that number in their GPU graph showing the GPU running at ~105w, why bother showing that if it can't accomplish it? Here's the graph: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/17306/Apple-M1-Ultra-gpu-p...

Note that Apple shows 60w for their CPU graph (https://images.anandtech.com/doci/17306/Apple-M1-Ultra-cpu-p...), which did actually match up and does show the double CPU pref that Apple stated.

I didn't pull that number out of nowhere. If Apple used 60w in that graph, then I wouldn't be here.

> Otherwise, the M1 ultra would have pumped a little bit more wattage and gotten better single core perfs, but guess what, it doesn't.

That's because of two reasons:

1. There is only so much data wecan "process" within the same core, more power does not change the data itself, we can only increase the clock speed to finish it faster or widen the amount of data that can fit in the same core. Also of note that Intel Turbo Boost does actually help with single-core thread pref by boosting the single core speed beyond the base line.
2. M1 max clock speed is set to 3.2Ghz (single core), it can't go faster than this (set by Apple). Throwing more wattage here wouldn't change anything but throwing more power to allow all 16 P cores to hit 3.2 does improve performance as long as it isn't overheating. I don't think M1 Ultra does hit 3.2 on all 16 cores (it might have hit 60w max first; I might be wrong but I saw mostly just 3.0ghz in Max video but I have to go back to review it).

Again, this is not about single-core performance, this is about GPU performance, which is extremely parallelizable and more comparable to the multi-core performance instead.

> Almost always it’s for play.

No, fuck that. Being chased on a mountain road is life-threatening and it's the dog's fault, not mine. Literally no other animal does this, they are nuisances.

> If a dog has its ears and tail up, it’s looking to play with you, not tear you to pieces. Dogs have clear signals and behaviours that need to be understood.

No, fuck that. In MY language:

mellow purring = friendly
barking = threat

Period. If it barks, I will bark back and assert my dominance, followed by pepper spray and rocks if it continues to approach and threaten.

If I move away or yell at an animal, that means NO and do NOT follow me. Almost all other animals including cats usually understand CONSENT and what "NO" means very well.

> If you experience a poorly behaved dog, it’s the owner at fault.

Well, 90% of dogs I've encountered don't have owners and many of them threatened me. Often in packs. The few dogs I've met that have owners, at least half of them were very badly behaved.

100% of bears and coyotes I've encountered don't have owners either, and to this date every single one I encountered has left me alone.

> You can learn how to make friends with any dog.

I really just do not want to. Like most cats and porcupines, I really just want to be left alone by dogs. That's my choice, and I want to be respected and dogs to respect that I do not wish to be approached, sniffed, barked at, or chased.

I'm more than happy making friends with other animals, and do not need dogs in my life at all.
Similar defenses are made of JIRA. The thing is: the whole reason these products exist as distinct from their open source or practitioner-favored alternatives is their enterprise feature set, which is to say their affordances for being locked down and micromanaged. Buying Confluence and then running it wide open is a weird choice.

> "Question: do elite institution degrees confer any addition to market value commensurate with their cost, or do they simply select for people who already have high market value?"

Speaking only for STEM, an elite STEM program gives the student access to a bigger variety of upperclassman courses; compare the available course list for a community college vs a large university and the difference is quite noticeable. The better programs also provide access to better equipment and advising; e.g., various University of California campuses have their own on-site chip fabrication labs. If the career trajectory you're planning benefits from those advanced courses, going to the better STEM programs is going to help tremendously. If not, well, they don't but that's hardly the institution's fault; they aren't choosing who to send your resume to, you are.

(As an aside, I use the word "access" very intentionally; educational institutions don't "confer" anything. Students get access to resources and opportunities and they choose which to take. It's entirely possible to do the minimum to fulfill requirements; for example, I chose easy courses to do the minimum fulfill my humanities requirements because it wasn't where my interests lay.)

> Apart from a criminal streak, Hotz shares with Raskolnikov, Dostoyevsky’s antihero, a predilection for instrumental reason and an urge to test his own mettle, to know himself by knowing his limits. As a young adult Hotz allowed himself to become addicted to prescription opiates almost as an experience in self-mastery. “I did it, I was addicted, and I quit,” he told me. “I think I had to have that experience. I don’t think I ever could have been the type who never tried it. Because in some ways I feel that if I’m not strong enough to defeat that and overcome it…” He paused for several beats before assuring me he’d never want anyone to follow his example. “In order to quit,” he continued, “it required me to rethink what I wanted out of life. After that, one of the biggest things that changed is I stopped caring about money.”

This tells you the kind of personality Hotz is. I wouldn't want to compete against this guy. He might self-destruct, but there is something to say about his extreme personality that's beneficial to solving hard problems
Possessing CSAM if it’s for abuse-prevention is not immoral, regardless of what the law says. Saying otherwise is a slippery slope to saying judges, jurors and evidence custodians are also immoral. In fact if possession is so immoral, CSAM trials shouldn’t even have visual evidence. We should just trust the prosecutor.

Knowing Oracle with their high power lobbyists, questionable ethics, and incestuous government ties this whole thing appears like just an extra corrupt extension of the shakedowns they are known for.

I'm sure it depends some on the degree. A very sharp friend of mine got an aeronautical engineeering degree from a good state school. After a few years in industry he went back for a brand-name MBA. He said in 2 years of school, he learned exactly one thing that he couldn't have just figured out via general knowledge and a bit of thinking. [1] He said the real value was in the network he built up, people who would soon be placed in important positions in important companies all over.

Comma implemented driver attention monitoring into their device before Tesla did, and George had been advocating Tesla do it for a long time before they finally did. He talks about this in the most recent podcast with Lex Friedman.

That doesn't sound like someone who is too immature to work on a safety critical application to me.
Easy. Set up your own PKI and trust it. Keep the private key safe and nobody else can use it.

Only problem is that on Android 7 and above apps can choose to ignore any added certificates in the user store and the system store is off limits. Only way you can do it is by managing the phone in COBO or COPE mode with Android Enterprise. Which requires an expensive MDM system and a factory reset to enroll it.

Also the app can do certificate pinning which is even worse to get around. You'll have to modify the actual app.

I wouldn't be surprised if this rigmarole was the result of app development companies trying to keep secret how much data they exfiltrate.
That sounds like it applies to websites of businesses with physical locations, no?

> Sociology and psychology do make predictions...

Like what? I don't mean to sound rude or combative, I really want to know what you're thinking of here.

FWIW if economics, sociology and psychology were classified as "non-sciences like painting or rhetoric" I would retire my objections. I don't think the problem is that these are pre-scientific fields that will become more predictive, I think it is that they have been derailed from the (natural?) progression of scientific knowledge from descriptive to ordering to predictive (e.g. like alchemy becoming chemistry.)
The elephant in the room is that college doesn't teach you anything you need to know at a job.

I'm not talking about the obvious exceptions like medicine or law (though even that can be done as a conversion rather than an undergrad degree) or anything else where you literally need the paper that says you can do it. I'm also not talking about becoming a researcher, where obvious you need to know a bit of X to become a professor of X. I'm talking about the vast number of degrees that are not job specific. Business, economics, history, literature, and so on with humanities, but also math, chemistry, physics, and biology.

There is no real reason an employer would care what you studied, because as a new graduate your job is to learn the business. Whether you were interested in one thing or another in college doesn't matter much, the main line is between math-tech stuff and not-math-tech stuff. Employers who reckon their work is techie will gravitate towards those graduates, while others will be open to anyone.

All the degree signals is that you somehow gathered yourself and read a bunch of books and solved a bunch of questions. That's somehow supposed to be evidence that you can learn their business.

Of course the problem is there's plenty of people who instead of learning Krebs cycle could just go directly into finance or accounting or any number of jobs without jumping through the hoops. The issue is that college has become a destination for so many smart kids, it's hard to imagine a smart kid who skips it. So absolutely everyone feels they need to go to college, and absolutely every employer thinks they need to hire just college grads.

In terms of helping the economy, it's really not efficient. Everyone has to sit around for three or four years when they really want to be working, and everyone who can't find the money/time to do it is cut out from middle class aspirational jobs.

I use vimdiff and occasionally kdiff3 for git merging. what I really like meld for is merging two directory trees (e.g. reconciling two forks of the same code), they have the best tree diff ux of any of the common tools I've tried.
Elite institutions could do nothing and still add market value simply by colocating people with high market value who meet each other and create lasting networks and friendships.

I do think that on top of that, they add value because students can be given more challenging and stimulating coursework. The difference in Math education between a top college and a college with loose entry requirements is staggering - we're talking people doing hard proofs freshman year vs. undergrad seniors taking upper level math courses that don't even have proofs, just computation.
I purchased Araxis Merge but I still find myself using Meld for the vast, vast majority of my 2- and 3- way Diffing.

It’s slightly tricky to integrate into Sourcetree but once you configure Sourcetree with the correct command line args it works quite painlessly.

Meld is extremely performant too.

Another text editor I love is “010 Editor”, it’s the only windows app I’ve found that works well on 2+ GB files without slowing my computer down.
+1 for TortoiseGitMerge, which is my go-to tool these days. It's Windows only but not a problem for me since I mostly work in Windows.

My SO adores Meld, but she works with Linux. I tried using it but couldn't get used to it. She also makes fun of me (half in jest) because I use Tortoise Git instead of the command line...
I think someday we might need to have systemd-accessibilityd at this rate
Things get locked in not by standards, but by usage. If your software depends on particular instructions being present you’re not going to buy a processor that has superseded those instructions, even if the new instructions conform to a theoretically cleaner design.

Everything being an extension (and thus removable) is a strength in some specific circumstances, but is a weakness in most.
Hope Asahi Linux will get mature and be daily driver usable in the near future.
I have used Meld very happily for years on various Linuxes. But am not a developer—use it mainly for sync conflicts on things like to-do lists and article drafts. Thank you builders! It is an awesome tool.

The attendant should be tutoring the 95% of kids to keep them from falling behind. Only 35% of fourth graders read at grade level. Why do we spend inordinate resources on those that are incapable of ever reading at a fourth grade level when so many are effectively denied being educated?
Given the compression stuff is an extension (and so far as I can tell the 16-bit alignment for 32-bit instructions that can result in that sort of spanning is part of that extension), so far as I can tell you could implement said extension for tiny hardware where every byte counts, and then for hardware where you're wanting to fetch 8+ instructions per cycle just ... not implement it?

Wait (he says to himself, realising he's an idiot immediately -before- posting the comment for once). You said upthread the C extension is specified as part of the standard UNIX profile, so I guess people are effectively required to implement it currently?

If that was changed, would that be sufficient to dissolve the issues for people wanting to design high performance implementations, or are there other problems inherent to the extension having been specified at all? (apologies for the 101 level questions, the only processor I really understood was the ARM2 so my curiosity vastly exceeds my knowledge here)
I'd rather see the delidded version as this is comparing a CPU, to CPU+RAM and without delidding we don't know how much space is taken by the ram dies.
