No. Invest everything that you can now (into low cost diversified index funds or ETFs) and then top it up regularly as you get more capital from whatever else it is you do to earn a living (e.g. a percentage of your salary every month, a percentage of your annual bonus, a percentage of the annual dividend from your business etc etc).
Mobile devices could, if the SOC allowed every device to be isolated with an IOMMU. Apple does this, Nvidia too (though some SoCs are broken) and I think Qualcomm might as well. A lot of the other ARM SoCs seem to have just one or maybe two domains (GPU and everything else), and a non standard IOMMU for even that too.

I’ve looked a few times for an ARM SBC with a nice architecture to play with this stuff, Nvidia seemed to be the only option but they are also unobtanium right now.

I never ran an popular board. I had ran some small ones, mostly folks I knew in real life. I've also ran several in-person clubs over the years, which obviously don't scale to the same degree. But I do have some inkling of the issues you're talking about.

The newess of the whole thing is a great point. I keep hoping that Internet culture as a whole will invent a new sense of manners. (At the risk of being accused of being an Eternal Septemberist, which was actually before my time) 'Member when people talked about being a "good 'netizen"? We had trolls, but they knew what they were doing was against good manners (indeed, that's why they did it).

Somewhere along the line, people stopped getting on-ramped onto the Internet. They got dumped on instead and the only role models they had were other folks who couldn't see the humanity behind the handle.

A lot of the issues you talked about still exist in general-purpose social media. Indeed, the platform reinforces it, as it gets to know your political proclivities better and pushes you into their engagement bubbles.

I think the decentralization is a bulkheading against those issues. When they happen--and they will happen--the limited scope of the topic board limits the damage to that subculture. It doesn't impact the Whole Damn Nation. Can you imagine someone like Donald Trump winning the presidency without a one-stop-shop of advertising and propaganda dissemination that Facebook provides? You don't even have to spend that much money, you can get the people to organically self-sustain it with the right meme seeding.

We had competing boards, too. I was active on two different game development boards. There were more that I just didn't bother with. If one started to feel like shit, I could dump over to another one. There was some continuity, but it wasn't absolute.

IDK. I know I'm probably rose-colored-glasses on the issue. And you're right, there's no putting the cat back in the bag. Maybe the bigger problem is that most people really are shit and smartphones gave them access to the internet. "Garbage in, garbage out". But it seems like they'd all be fighting it out on the ESPN boards, away from my eyes, if it weren't for general-purpose social media.
>The documents, released by the federal agency in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, show that recent declines in an endangered bird species, the piping plover, have already been correlated with SpaceX activity at the South Texas facility.

>The FWS has determined — and written in a document known as a draft biological and conference opinion (BCO) — that if SpaceX moves ahead with the proposal it sent to the FAA, it would impact some species protected under the Endangered Species Act, as well as hundreds of acres of their critical habitat, although the activity would not completely wipe out those species.

>Of greatest concern is the company’s anticipated impact to the mating, migration, health and habitat of the piping plover, red knot, jaguarundi and ocelot populations. Disruptions and harm can be caused by everything from regular vehicle traffic, to the noise, heat, explosions and fragmentation of habitat caused by construction, rocket testing and launches.

>Several species of sea turtles are also of concern, but FWS deferred to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for marine life expertise. One of the turtles is known as the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle, which nests on the beaches of Boca Chica. It is the most critically endangered sea turtle in the world.

>Overall, the FWS opinion may be good news for SpaceX.

>The agency requires very little in the way of spending, conservation and other commitments by SpaceX, says Jared Margolis, senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity who read a copy of the draft BCO.

My interpretation is that GP is observing that the benefits do not scale linearly. Most of the exercise benefit happens after a relatively short walk. The extra two hours a day for a long walk is expensive in time, but doesn't multiply the benefits 3x.
I run an email based service and while I send most email on my own I have been using the following providers for fall-back (for inbox providers that have very strict policies).

- https://serversmtp.com/

- https://aws.amazon.com/ses/

I prefer SES for a number of reasons:

- The price is about the best you will get.

- You can DKIM sign messages yourself if you want (although IIRC they remove the ability to verify your domain with DKIM from the console recently. Hopefully they don't drop this support).

- Pay as you go Pricing means that you don't pay for unused quota.

- Regional service may be more complicated but in theory you should be able to tolerate localized issues. The main downside is that you need to verify in each region which is very annoying.
Starting with Wealth of Nations in 2022 is a very odd choice.

Manikw and Krugman are on the opposite aisles of the political divide. But you'll find the same content in both their textbooks. Basic macro is not even remotely controversial.

Oh.

I really have a negative emotional response to abusing language like this.

All companies focus on growth to some extent. A growth-focused company is, in my option, a completely separate thing from a startup.

Though startups are usually extremely growth focused.
Generalized anxiety disorders can certainly cause dysautonomia and treating the anxiety can help treat dysautonomia. For many people this is sufficient to return to normal. For those of us less fortunate we need to keep pursuing additional options. I have a rather severe form of hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so I need substantial meds to keep functioning.

You are right and they have a spatial reasoning test called "Culture Fair" which they gave when I applied for a test. You only need to be top 2% on one of the two tests for an offer.
I just assumed you could use the correlations the site was suggesting to find diversions between stocks that we’d assume might revert to the mean.
> As developer I think it would make most sense to only save references rather than trying store all events inside everyones brains. That would be huge waste of resources and just damn stupid.

> And probably the way we humans have built our computers also reflects how the universe really works, because after all we are bits of the universe doing whatever the universe is doing.

I think this is way too simplistic. Just like planes don't fly like birds, computers don't work like "the universe"

We don't know much about the brain at all and starting to think about it in terms of "computer" logic seems very wrong to me. Computers are our very crude and poor attempt at replicating brains/intelligence, by definition they're built on ultra simplified principles that our own brains came up with, using computer terms to define the brain/universe is closing a loop that doesn't exist

It only sounds like a waste because you(we)'re constrained by our own brains, the universe doesn't care about our ability to understand or make sense of it. Something might sound unoptimised to you(us) but might be the only way allowed by physics.

Naming and defining computer parts using human/brain related terms was an error imho, it confuses people and make them think we are able to replicate (or even understand) things that we have no clue about, they're very poor analogies.

> That would be huge waste of resources and just damn stupid.

Isn't the entire universe a huge waste of resource and just damn stupid ?
I’d heard that homoiconicity isn’t real and there is no meaningful definition?
> I've never understood how finding patterns in shapes like that seems to be the last word in intelligence for some people.

The speed at which a person can recognize patterns correlates strongly with their ability to learn in general.

The reason they use shapes is because it's a more universal measurement. Using words introduces issues with a person's ability to speak that language.
Appears to be ok now. The other comment about a move is most likely accurate.
I read the defmacro link and found it very interesting and cool; but I still feel as if I'm missing what makes this so earth-shattering? Do not get me wrong - it is insanely cool and wonderful to be able to modify lisp's syntax with lisp... but it just seems like that... it's cool. I don't see why this would be any different than defining a function like I normally do.

Sure, I can create an entirely new operator that becomes valid syntax, like `*` which creates an exponential operator. But why is this more productive than simply defining a "exponent()" function or something similar?

It seems also that tech debt would accrue incredibly fast as joining a lisp codebase would require learning almost an entirely new set of syntax. I'm sure I 'm missing something, but I can't see at all why I need to learn LISP. It's cool, neat, and wonderful... but that's about it from my understanding.
> It would only take a declaration from the President to that effect, and then the government could legitimately freeze its assets and lock it out of political life, setting the stage for a Democrats-Greens bipartisan political axis.

That is how you give up democracy.
> Digital whiteboards are trivial to share, recover, modify and maintain. They're light-years beyond the limited physical variety. My team land heavily on Miro, for instance.

I use Mira too, it's great! But it's not the same as brainstorming on a whiteboard with your colleagues in the same room.

> Lunch time is a break. Not everyone wants to spend their break with their coworkers; but even for those that do, nothing is preventing you from having a conference call or video call over lunch.

That's cool and I fully support your desire to do whatever you want on your break. For a lot of my breaks when I worked in the office I ended up sharing them with colleagues and made several (hopefully) life-long friends out of the habit!

> Not everyone understands or can engage in body language. Many people find it ancient inducing that their appearance and movements are under constant judgement. WFH is equalizing for them.

I understand! However I can understand body language and I find a lot of value in it. It's easier to empathize and relate to my colleagues when I can understand them better through body language when we're talking about life. If we worked in the same office you'd be free to have lunch (or whatever you want to do while I go have lunch) by yourself without judgement from me!
I guess the question to ask is why are there even "backends".
Jordi Gali's book is a great place to start for monetary policy and the Fed [1]. Speeches and working/white papers from the Fed board and regional banks cover topics that are immediate for policy but outside the scope of a macro textbook. IMF and BIS papers also very topical

For more on macro models, from a central bank perspective, Smets-Wouters and FRB/US are two workhorses. Ljungqvist and Sargent will enable you to read academic journal articles

If you've ever played The Witness, it's a lot like this. Which raises the question; is beating The Witness an IQ test?
Open office is cheaper than cubicles and allows more employees in one space. That's why it caught on with decision makers.

Some people like it because they thrive on attention and being disruptive, and open offices are optimized for that behavior.
> IQ is supposed to be like Horsepower for brains.

I don't think this is a very valuable way to think about IQ. It is what it is, nothing more nothing less. It's the location you fall on in a normal distribution of intelligence as measured by specific tests.
I've seen Mensa put out "tests" that aren't actually that difficult for marketing purposes. (I can't speak to their actual tests.) I recall a Mensa book in my elementary school library proclaiming that if you could solve even one puzzle in the book, you were smart enough to join Mensa! I believe it was officially from Mensa, but it's been a while and I may not remember correctly.

I passed. I could solve many of them.

Oh, jerf, bragging about how you could join Mensa is like the canonical example of boorishness.

Yes, well, just about everyone I handed the book to "passed" as well, so... let's just say this isn't the strutbrag it may initially sound like. I did not attend school at Lake Wobegon where all the children were above average. It was an average school of average children. Either by an amazing coincidence we were all smart enough to join Mensa even so, or Mensa was sandbagging just a wee bit. You do the math, as the saying goes.
In the UK (where I am) the main ones are SIPPs and investment ISAs. In the US I believe people mainly use Roth IRAs (this is not any special secret advice, it is like the first thing your tax adviser will tell you).
I have been in the mobile dev industry for over a decade and I can tell many have claimed that native development will eventually die. Here we are still working on native Kotlin and Swift. It all depends on the company, client and budget. So nothing will die, hybrid development won’t die and so do native.
Maybe the theory is strange to you, but the correlation is real. Ability to solve these puzzles correlates with ability in a diverse range of cognitive abilities, including things like ability to write poetry that initially seem impossible to measure. It is even correlated with height!

No one cares about the ability to score well on IQ tests. They care about the things an IQ test can predict.
> I can now run and walk in my dreams and rarely have the "legs in molasses" thing

I know exactly what you mean. That’s fascinating that it went away with more walking; maybe the brain is now better able to “simulate” walking?
Cool, I'm a Hy guy; glad to meet you. Hy in its early years imitated Clojure syntax much more closely, and Clojure compatibility may've been implicitly a goal even if it never got to the point of cross-testing. These days we prefer to think of Clojure as one of several possible influences.
It's been proven time and time again with this company. Until Onyx provides actual source code they are in violation. The burden of proof shifted to them once people could not locate the source code and they have yet to prove that they are not in violation.

Here's one response from the company where they deflect on this issue: https://i.redd.it/0lx58maqrbb51.png

The link you were shared above on Wikipedia also has another response, where they decline to provide source: http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/install-linux-or-alterna...

I like German air-traffic-control story better (probably because the author added the linguistic spice in it :)):

Do you mean why you can write (untested)

fmt::println(x, y, z);

instead of (also untested)

fmt::fprintf(os::stdout, "{}{}{}\n", x, y, z);

? I mean I agree that presumably anything you could do in the first form could be done in the second form, less conveniently as you say, but if you omit println from fmt then all the Golang programmers learning Hare will be surprised about the missing stair they expect as the Hare counterpart to fmt.Println. And I think omitting the terminating newline in your format string is a common enough bug that it's probably worthwhile to include a separate function that adds it implicitly, especially in the case of fmt::print, which doesn't have a format string to add it to.

Even without Golang experience, if you're going to have an fprintf and a println, I'd look for the println in the module that has the fprintf in it.

The fraction of the population that can sustain a 4 mph pace comfortably for three hours is probably small. That's a pretty good clip. 2.5 to 3 mph is much more realistic.
We're absolutely not vaporware. We're also completely happy to live in a world where both ActivityPub and Bluesky exist, and prioritize different problems with different approaches.
About the same, with lower volatility and much lower drawdowns (that's net of fees -- before fees they are much better).

I don't they did. The Express lanes are either converted from existing HOV lanes (which means they are now open to more, not fewer people) or they were added (680 corridor). Unless you are talking about converted in the far far past from SOV to HOV.

Examples: 880 south between Hegenberger and San Leandro was 4 lanes, widened to 5 lanes in 2015 with the addition of an HOV lane, which was then converted to an Express lane. 880 interchange with 237 used to have the left hand flyover HOV only, which was converted to Express, so now everyone can use it.
They get easier with practice though, so I don't think they're that great either. Also are we saying that linguistic ability has no bearing on intelligence? IQ tests seem to mainly test ability at IQ tests, I'm sure there's some correlations with aptitude in other fields, but I'm not sure how well a literature nobel prize winner would do on this.

I have read both government studies on energy storage solutions and studies done by financial advisors to people who invest in the energy sector. The issue is always the high cost, with only specific places and situations where it is economical viable. In particular, if you can discharge the storage 365 days a year from 100% to 0%, selling at fairly high peak price, and do so for a capacity of 1-6hrs (depending on location and peak price), then it can be made profitable to operate a storage solution (depend also a bit on subsidies). Every other solution has yet to be found economical viable, and all of those other solutions are significant more expensive than nuclear.

There are some alternative use cases. If you can convert the energy directly to a substance that an industry consume, like hydrogen in steel production, then the economics start to shift a bit. Hydrogen is produce today through natural gas, and if we include the carbon tax and introduce some subsidies to those who want to use renewables, then green hydrogen can be made to price match grey hydrogen in steel manufacturing. It not perfect, and its not storage, but it does reduce the use of fossil fuels. Burning the hydrogen for power however is still several times more expensive than nuclear, and I don't think people are willing to pay that kind of money in order to avoid nuclear power.

The current way most governments seem to operate is to build out renewable generating capacity while also build out equal or greater amount of fossil fuel generating capacity. Looking at the Ukraine war, looking at the climate, and just looking at air pollution or graphs over fossil fuel usage, I am not optimistic that the current strategy are working at all. If anything it look exactly what the fossil fuel lobbying are pushing which is a future where they still hold a significant position and where the high peak price results in about as much profits as in the past but for a significant less amount of actually product.
I've had a lot of trouble with that lately. I can't connect to imgur without turning it off, and my USPS.com account got straight up banned for logging in over Mullvad, I had to call them to prove my identity.
but who's presenting CL as the answer to your needs? (me?)

If you're happy with your mix of Python and Hy, well, great. But you know what, you can do what you described with CL too! Need to do some webscraping? Beautiful Soup -> lquery. Django -> well… no CL framework gives you all these batteries included, but what if you want to extract data from a Postgres DB and display it in a web app? that's very easy [1] in CL too. Django ORM -> postmodern or Mito (or more). IDK about Nix but several people are working with CL and Guix.

https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl

What worked out for me was to write companion services in CL, instead of extending my big Django app. This new service that takes data from a FTP server, transforms it, stores it, displays it in a web app? CL. That web app that serves another kind of customers than the Django one? A CL app. It isn't for everybody and sometimes you wish for a bigger ecosystem, but anyways, many things can be done in CL.

[1]: ok honestly the learning process was not that easy. It's a bit easier with my contributions now! (Cookbook etc)
Figure out how to convince coworkers to schedule all meetings during a specific 3 hour window each day, perhaps.

Neuro normative? Good grief. They don't want to work in the office - no need to gobbledygook it up in some bizarre appeal to authority.

I can say as someone who now works full time remote while also geographically isolated, it's not all a bed of roses. I do miss the serendipitous hallway conversations - some of the best directions in my career came from those spontaneous and unplanned in person interactions. I'm toward the end of my career so I now have enough contacts and informal interactions with folks where I can still force those kinds of engagements; if I need to. 10 years ago? No way would I be happy working remotely full time. You just can't get the connections and synergies unless you are in close proximity to other folks; especially those outside of your immediate work unit but still relevant to your work.

A lot of these younger folks pushing for full time remote at the start of their career are putting themselves into a box I don't think they fully appreciate - and won't until it's too late. In a way I'm glad telework didn't become more accepted until later in my career - I absolutely wouldn't be where I am today if I had been full time remote - I wouldn't have had near the opportunities to connect and be noticed.
