> The reasons behind the disproportionate gender ratio of directors is a subject of much debate. A survey of more than 4000 directors found that male directors over the age of 55 cited a lack of qualified female candidates as the main reason behind the stagnant number of female directors.[5] In contrast, in the same study, female directors and younger male directors considered the male-dominated networking that often led to the appointment of directors to be the reason behind women's slow progress.[5]

I mean, he's obviously not a normal guy. I don't know what you expect. From a recent profile:

> 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.”

> And bosses are petty, they'll get revenge if they can.

It sounds like you're including yourself in the group you call "petty". And in an earlier part of the post, you talked about behavior that I'd consider vindictive.

Honest question: Are you happy that you behave that way, or do you wish you behaved differently?

I'm not criticizing. I'm genuinely curious about the different ways people see the world.
A simple heuristic I go by: consider the weight that the organization applies to feedback from you while you are working there and the weight allocated to advice from total strangers with nothing to do with the organization. The moment you announce you are leaving, and feedback or advice you offer will probably be weighted even lower than either of those. In many organizations, it drops to near-zero the day you decide to leave the team.

In fact, the multiplier goes negative after someone exits in most companies I've experienced, resulting in them being blamed for recent decisions they were party to, even if they seemed fine at the time (scapegoating). Everything the departed touched is ripe for second-guessing.

If I want to give advice or feedback, I do so early and respectfully. If I don't feel heard and decide to leave, I won't be repeating it because its weight is sinking like a stone between announcing my departure, the exit interview, and joining the ranks of ex-employees.

Any self-serving catharsis isn't worth the damage done to the professional relationships, which the author covers nicely.

Tell HN: My kid's school installed spyware and I can't remove it
My middle schooler goes to Chicago Public Schools. They use Google Classroom for assignments and other communications.

I bought him a Chromebook for schoolwork, but also for other private things. When we logged in, the system installed GoGuardian monitoring software on the Chromebook without notice or permission.

And now I can't remove it. I wrote to GoGuardian support, and they replied that I had to contact the school or remove my son as a user. The instructions for removing him as a user do not work; on the contrary, I see the message "cps.edu manages this user and may remotely manage settings and monitor user activity" and he can't be removed.

I did a full factory reset, signed in to his account again, and now the system is once again locked down.

So now I'm in the position where I have to ask permission from a local government entity to please let me install stuff and don't monitor the computer I bought and paid for.

Does anyone know how to refer these people to law enforcement for prosecution?

1) No, it's just LA flakiness. It's all about being seen dontcha know.

My weird story about this. I was at a Little Barrie concert. Of course, there is a band before and a band after. We're there up front listening to the first band--Auditorium (Spencer Berger, his brother, and someone else) who were really good. There's the two of us at a bar table like 4 feet from the band, and something like 4 other people. 6 people total. We talk to the band (awesome dudes) afterward.

And, then, suddenly, it's like a hipster sea flows in. Skinny corduroy jeans everywhere. Snaps and flashes everywhere. I had words with the corduroy boys who thought they were going to be annoying as fuck in front of us. Uh, no, we understand that you're going to get a little riled up but you're NOT going to have your phone flash in my face the entire concert (I love the fact that Johnny Marr (separate concert) will call these douchebags out in the middle of a concert and chuck them out if they don't stop.). That can fuck right off--fortunately, I'm huge and make a very nice wall so they can get a nice picture of my back or they can move.

Little Barrie takes the stage about 5 minutes later--awesome super high energy show. And, then, suddenly, the hipster sea flows out.

And there's 6 people in the bar again for the band afterward. We felt so sorry for them. It's one thing to be the opening band and not have people but its another thing to be the closing band and watch everybody leave before you even hit the stage.

That's LA.

That's a scale for the current champion, lithium-ion. All it tells us is that lithium ion is a mature technology, not that batteries in general are a mature technology.

There's plenty of scenarios where a more expensive alternative could take over easily. A more energy dense alternative that cost 2x as much would be a massive win for vehicles and especially aircraft where weight is a huge penalty. Alternatively, a technology with a much lower price even with a much lower energy density could enable a lot of green energy storage projects that are currently uneconomical with current battery technology.
It is compulsory, but with exceptions. Defining something by the outliers just messes with the language of things :)
The article could have ended here:

>And even if your feedback does finally start some change – it’s too late for you. You’re already out the door. The time to fix the problems was months ago, before you got fed up and started your job search.

I have left two FAANG companies and have never given anything resembling the kind of feedback they requested in the exit interview. I have always kept it to the 'bland' described in this article -- all the reasons I left were personal and had nothing to do with management, the company, or anything. No praise, no criticism, just my choice to move on.

I see no reason to expend any energy, not even 15 minutes, to improve a company I'm leaving.

It's the same reason I don't leave feedback on Yelp, or talk to managers at restaurants about my experience, etc... I just move on.
You can take the original DooM, and the super advanced ray-traced DooM, and for each pixel make an average of both, and it will look better than either of them.

At least that's what I get from this demo.
Yeah, my point is exactly that although it is clear at a language level, the terminology shift can be quite important for whether you end up with a thought process that's healthy vs entangled with anxiety. If you don't believe that -- perhaps you haven't dealt with a lot of anxiety in your life?
I wasn't talking about improvement at all. This was about big strong cores versus efficient cores, which is a tradeoff that always exists.

You could choose between 20 strong cores or 48 efficient cores on the same die space across four chiplets, for example.
It's been a while since I've been out of that industry, but back around the 45nm days, one of the biggest concerns was yield. If you've got 100x the surface area, the probability of there being a manufacturing defect that wrecks the chip goes up. Now, you could probably get away with selectively disabling defective cores, but the chiplet idea seems, to me, like it would give you a lot more flexibility. As an example, let's say a chiplet i9 requires 8x flawless chips, and a chiplet Celeron requires 4 chips, but they're allowed to have defects in the cache because the Celeron is sold with a smaller cache anyway.

In the "huge chip" case, you need the whole 8x area to be flawless, otherwise the chip gets binned as a Celeron. If the chiplet case, any single chip with a flaw can go into the Celeron bin, and 8 flawless ones can be assembled into a flawless CPU, and any defect ones go into the re-use bin. And if you end up with a flawed chip that can't be used at the smallest bin size, you're only tossing 1/4 or 1/8 of a CPU in the trash.
I don't see why you care about any of that. It doesn't concern you anymore. It isn't your problem. There are way better avenues of catharsis that have literally zero potential impact on your future job seeking abilities instead of the theoretical zero you're assuming.
For example, there's lots to explore in the VLIW space.

Self-hosted is the way to go if you either have the h/w on hand or can get over the initial buy-in price.

I have to admit I occasionally have crackpot physics ideas floating around in my head and I actually have seen that Dr Hossenfelder has this service and thought of contacting her. But my tech job took too much time to even clarify my thoughts. (I had probably 5 undergrad physics/astronomy courses.) How many of us have these thoughts I wonder? It's a fun way to pass the time. Recently I thought that rather than thinking of these ideas as physics I should look at them as science fiction and write an amusing story.

> This a mixture of the state of the country Obama left him with and things that presidents and their admin don't have much influence over.

So first it was "Trump is going to destroy the economy!" but now it's "actually he had nothing to do with it, everything was just magically great despite all the bad things he did to try to destroy it", interesting.

> Do you actually think Biden increased gas prices as if the effects of the pandemic and war (that trump likely helped cause by his deference to putin and hostility towards nato) aren't the actual causes?

I think Biden's major hostility towards oil, his poor economic policies, and his poor handling of the pandemic (under Biden we had far more deaths than under Trump during the same time period) resulted in much higher prices (which were already $1-1.50/gallon higher than under Trump prior to the war) as well as Putin realizing he had nothing to fear from Biden, resulting in him invading Ukraine. Do you think gas prices were just magically cheaper under Trump because he asked nicely?

> Trump threw out the pandemic playbook.

And it's looking more and more that he was right all along, given the facts on the ground showing that the majority of deaths and serious illnesses were of people over 65 and obese; the effects it's had on the economy; the effects it's had on younger generations; suicide rates; etc. Can't wait to see all of the other long term studies that show how disastrous our overreaction to everything ended up being overall.

Let's not forget Trump gave us a vaccine in record time as well - a vaccine that Joe Biden spread FUD about until after the election was over.

> Trump and the GOP's raised taxes on a substantial number of middle class and lower income people. Some of it was immediately and some of those increases were left as timebombs.

Most people saw lower taxes. I'm not going to claim Trump didn't have a fairly shit Congress during his administration, which is why it's great he's backing more anti-neocons for the upcoming midterms.

> But that statement on how "good" trump's admin suggests extremely rose colored glasses on what actually went on.

At the end of the day the only bad thing about the Trump admin was the mean tweets. Quality of life was far higher under him than recent past presidents, as well as our current president. We replaced him with a politically correct political veteran and we got all of... this. Simple as.
A person is perhaps defined by _all_ their actions, but they're not very definable by a single action, out of context. That's the kind of reasoning that writes someone off if they make a mistake, which is totally intolerant.
there could also be problems on some architectures. on arm64 the branch-link instruction can only jump +/- 128MB (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dui0802/a/A64-Genera...). so if you want to use BL instead of BLR for performance reasons then you need to make sure all the shared libraries are loaded in the same 128MB address space.

gcc has an option to reduce the overhead with no-plt (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html). so on x86_64 it just does call[rip + got_offset]. this is still an indirect call but it reduces the number of calls by 1.

The mathematical physicist John Baez proposed a “crackpot index”[1] [snip]

Mathematician Chris Caldwell was inspired by Baez’s list and devised a mathematical version. Some (lightly edited) examples from Caldwell’s list are

1 point for each word in all capital letters;
5 points for every statement that is clearly vacuous, logically inconsistent, or widely known to be false;
10 points for each such statement that is adhered to despite careful correction;
10 points for not knowing (or not using) standard mathematical notation;
10 points for expressing fear that your ideas will be stolen;
10 points for each new term you invent or use without properly defining it;
10 points for stating that your ideas are of great financial, theoretical, or spiritual value;
10 points for beginning the description of your work by saying how long you have been working on it;
10 points for each favorable comparison of yourself to established experts;
10 points for citing an impressive-sounding, but irrelevant, result;
20 points for naming something after yourself;
30 points for not knowing how or where to submit their major discovery for publication;
30 points for confusing examples or heuristics with mathematical proof;
40 points for claiming to have a “proof” of an important result but not knowing what established mathematicians have done on the problem.

Yes I do deny that, especially since the article literally addresses this issue explicitly and takes care to avoid that, along with a git repo that you can use to verify this for yourself.

In addition to the Nice vs Kind distinction, there is the sort which is “Nice” or “Kind” to one person/people with the tactic of explicitly being “Mean” or “Evil” to someone else.

Most of popular identity politics is either “Nice and Mean” (X identity is great, Y people are bad) or “Kind and Evil” (there’s institutionalized whatever, so let’s help X by punishing Y).

Meanwhile the actual good people in the world are Kind and Kind to everyone.

I've encountered people with a cult interest in quaternions. To anyone who does 3D graphics, they're just a convenience.

The way TSMC amortizes those fixed costs is to charge by the wafer, so if your chip is 100x larger it costs at least 100x more. (You will have losses due to defects and around the edges of the wafer.) You can play with a calculator like https://caly-technologies.com/die-yield-calculator/ to get a feel for the numbers.
They want the supposed benefit. That doesn't mean they think the mechanism is correct, or even that any mechanism could actually do it in a non-abstract way.
