I personally think we don't know how to build anything close to AGI and doubt more computational power will help. Not that I think we can't figure out how to build these structures eventually, but we just don't right now. Even if we figure out how to simulate human brains, there is a gap between simulation and understanding the simulation well enough to modify it in useful ways.

I have a pair of nice headphones (Hifiman Aryas, planar magnetics) that need to be driven fairly hard compared to most dynamics, and to that end, I've found that an outboard DAC + amp with enough juice to drive them properly makes a big difference. And not an "unnoticeable to audiophiles only" difference but a very obvious one.
Intermarriage rates for Indian Americans are very high which would suggest that they’re integrating. If caste lasts in the US it will be the first place in the Indian diaspora that it does. For US born 29% marry outside of ethnic group. At those rates once mass Indian immigration ends it’ll be two to three generations before the ethnic group are pretty much completely American, like German Americans or Italian Americans.

I was at Amazon over 10 years and did several hundred interviews. I tried my best not to contribute to the problem, but here’s my experience:

First, the interviewing culture optimized for fresh computer science college grads, and specifically Indian nationals who excel (from my experience) at memorizing specific patterns and applying them decently in interviews. It doesn’t mean they’re better employees or better engineers, but it does mean you can hire someone as an H1B. And they’ll work pretty damn hard and out in more hours, because otherwise they fear getting managed out and with their visa situation, they have to leave the country.

Secondly, we’ll hire H1Bs from other companies. They often times don’t pass our hiring bar and fall significantly short. But as an Indian national, there are plenty of other Indian SDMs, Senior SDMs, and directors who will still give you an offer and bring you on board. It’s sort of a nepotism, and there are ways you can extend an offer without even going through an interview loop.

So… a culture of engineering talent who look great on paper, but you end up building a lot of mediocre products and services, or simply using this “talent” to keep existing, well designed services up and operationally sane. Mostly ticket loads.

And that’s really just it. The system is designed that way to extract a certain amount of labor. The skill doesn’t matter. Certain nationality brings in more of its own people.

We talked a lot about diversity, but we hired practically zero Hispanic, black, women, or other (tech) minority groups. Our damn HR didn’t even bring them into interview loops. If you worked at Amazon, you’d think that only Indian people graduate with CS degrees.

If you get rejected by Amazon, trust me as a 10 year veteran who finally abandoned ship late last year - you’re better off not being there. I regret the 10 years of my life I gave to that company. I regret the relationships I abandoned, the toll it took on my physical and mental health.
I wonder how he'd answer them. Usually when the things are going in wrong direction, the CEO leaves the company voluntarily or not plus sometimes with a good compensation, and moves to another CEO-like role in another company. No answers/compensations are given to the employees by that CEO.
In my experience, the "why" is more often called by a manager, director, or VP who wants a big project under their belt. The amount of times a "major design change" has happened from the bottom-up is very, very, almost impossibly rare in most cases. Sad story, but a true story.

I think that's why the Trump administration tried to distinguish between some "God Given" rights, and rights established some other way. Tensions between, say gun ownership, and private property (No Guns in the bar & grille rules) can be resolved their way.

I suffer from ADHD. I'm not sure my advice is a good fit for your specific situation, but these are some things that I think are helpful.

1. Get your health/medication on point. Find out what medication works for your and take it consistently. You can't afford to lose out on the extra executive function good medication can give you.

2. Accept your ADHD. Flagellating yourself for missed deadlines, forgotten tasks, procrastination and so on will only make things worse. I used to beat myself up about procrastination and it led to a cycle of anxiety that only made things worse. If you have a low productivity day accept it. Take each new day, each new project and each new task as completely fresh an isolated.

3. Record yourself working. Use a camera or a screen recorder. Try to notice exactly what happens. Do you start a task and then procrastinate? Do you procrastinate before the task starts? What triggers it? Is it internal? External? It can feel like you know what is triggering things but getting an actual recording can show you things you would have never noticed in the moment.

4. Inject novelty into boring tasks. Often simple boring tasks don't have enough excitement to make them interesting. Counterintuitively, making a task more difficult can add novelty and help stop you procrastinating. What adds novelty and challenge will be very individual.

5. Make peace with that fact that some techniques will stop working for you and you will need to change how you work. Just because something was working great last week doesn't mean it will work this week.

Good luck!
> figures like "Indians must wait 150 years" ... it's a patently ridiculous claim.

The wait time is patently ridiculous, not the claim. There is no hyperbole here. The reality is stranger than fiction. The wait time for a green card has been described as lifetime [1], 50 years [2], 150 years [3][4], and 195 years [5].

I agree that people don't live 150 years. But that is how long they need to 'wait' for a green card as per the current system.

Is your argument that the law does not explicitly state that "Indians must wait 150 years for a green card" and therefore the 150 year expected wait time is not true?

The wording of the law does not matter as much as its effect. The law can be weasel worded to seem like it is intended to save baby seals while in practice resulting in a sinister outcome.

I've been digging up a lot of remastered 80s albums from the last 5-7 years (mainly Japanese stuff), and I can 100% tell you that this is not the case. The engineers may not be sucking every last decibel out of the tracks anymore, but they're still compressed to hell, dynamic range often 5-10dB less than the original version straight off the 80s-era CD.

If you think about the way normalization works, there's still benefit to slapping a master limiter on top of it and pushing it to the point where normalization doesn't require any gain, because at least then you have control over the final mastering chain. But I don't think this is the reason, and I don't really know why they still juice it hard. Maybe for car stereos, or because phone amps are weak, or because they're not thinking about Spotify specifically.
I've always loved Søren Kierkegaard (especially Aesthetic)[0]:

Marry, and you will regret it;
don’t marry, you will also regret it;
marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way.

Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it;
weep over it, you will regret that too;
laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both.

Believe a woman, you will regret it;
believe her not, you will also regret it…

Hang yourself, you will regret it;
do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too;
hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it
either way;

whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both.
This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy

[EDIT]

It looks I am being downvoted, so I am adding more details for those confused:

This is written from the point of view of the Aesthete, someone who lives entirely for pleasure. From the point of view of pleasure, each decision is a missed opportunity for a different kind of pleasure. You'll find some pleasure in marrying, but you'll miss out on some other pleasures by doing so. Due to this, every choice is meaningless and thus cause for regret.

Kierkegaard paints this as being very different from decisions made in the ethical realm. Once in the ethical, we choose based on certain principles, and those principles guide us to do what is right. In that scenario our choices become meaningful and we are no longer plagued with regret, for even if there was pleasure in the other option, we did what was good, and thus we are satisfied. The life of pleasure seeking is characterized by this kind of regret, for Kierkegaard, whereas he characterizes the ethical life as being made up of meaningful choice.

Yeah if you study over it instead of copy pasting stuff from the internet, I find k8s the best thing for my small projects. I only have to setup a simple dockerfile and helm chart and I can run a new service in my cluster on DO, for which they offer free control plane, and not be billed for a completely new app and have to setup all my deps and env vars in a clunky UI. I can setup scaling, ingress easily, the Datadog agent is going to pick it up automatically, I can have services communicating via private dns etc. etc.

Human "race" is, because all human populations can reproduce with one another.

Race is a poor descriptor for geographic ancestry. Lumping people who don't share geographic ancestors together by phenotype is the greatest form of "race mixing" a society can do.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. It should be illegal to fully ban accounts. Figure out how to make them readonly. That's the only ban type that should happen. Yes, even if there is illegal content. If you really have to, quarantine the illegal content, but keep the rest of the account available.

Unless the failure rate is literally 0%, there should never be a permanent full ban.

Apply this to companies over a certain size.
The current system makes no sense. Legally it's very easy to get in (just have a look at the legal requirements for various visas, there's barely anything) - easier than most countries. Hell, even citizenship is a piece of cake once you have a green card.
But in practice it's 10x harder than it looks. I guess they need to control immigration somehow, but passing new laws is hard, so they just fallback to making it a bureaucratic nightmare based on luck.

And the most absurd thing of all: Republicans are supposed to be pro-business, so they should support immigration, but don't. Democrats are supposed to look after the low class, but they're willing to let in more and more low wage workers that put pressure on the wages of their voters...and they keep doubling down on this. So you end up with neither R or D caring about highly skilled workers

Creative BT-W3: I have one and it works exactly as it says on the tin. The only slightly annoying thing is that, once a headset is paired to the dongle, it is like The Highlander. There can be only one. It will snatch the connection to your headset before anything else can.

The remedy is to unplug the device from USB and then connect your headset device elsewhere.

A great feature is the light which will tell you what codec you’re connected with. An even greater feature is to press the button on the dongle and switch the codec. AptX-LL (low latency) is really nice for video games or videos generally. AptX-HD is acceptable for music if you’re not wed to lossless.

Yeah, I hope it works! Prior to MS I was the solo dev for Smilebooth (a photobooth company), and when I joined Edge Zones my north star to shrink the minimum footprint (I think it was three racks initially) so that you could load an edge zone host on like a Smilebooth console or something and manage photobooth fleets by deploying Web Apps directly to them. (I realized that was ridiculously far-fetched at the time and that there were probably better ways of achieving that outcome, but I certainly didn't foresee the minimum footprint growing so dramatically)!

And, like I said earlier, I hope to see what a real edge IaaS solution looks like too, if such a thing is even possible. Maybe the IaaS that would allow a build-your-own-CDN.

I'd love to see better ways of connecting gps devices, vs having to solder them on. Do Kobos accept any other peripherals over usb, or can they only present as a device via gadget mode? It'd be great if usb gps device modules got compiled, so one cpuld just be plugged in. There's also things like gpsd daemon, which can present location over network: A phone or dedicated device could make that happen, but it's definitely a little.funky figuring out what networking makes sense, whether wifi-p2p makes sense or whether it's ok to have a specific AP device to rely on (with perhaps it's own reliability & battery concerns).
Let me preface by saying, America is a sovereign country and can do as it pleases with regards to immigration, college admissions or anything else.

But to me this is basically 'de facto' discrimination against immigrants born in Asian countries (which tend to have large populations) especially Indian and Chinese origin people.

Which does seem hypocritical given current American rhetoric on racial equality.

Further to this Asian / Indian Americans that make it past these filters do quite well socio economically because they are highly selected relative to other groups.

So then their American born kids are over-represented in colleges relative to their overall population, and so they end up getting discriminated against in admissions etc. But the college overrepresentation is a downstream effect of the immigration policy.

> I’d recommend people check out the pro offerings from ATC, Focal, Barefoot, PSI, DynAudio, Adam, etc.

Seconding this. A friend of mine had a pair of ATC SCM25As, and they blew me away. I had never heard music like that before (and I'd been producing music for a decade prior on mid-range professional gear). I didn't have 20k to drop, but I did have $2k, so I got a nice pair of headphones + a little desktop DAC+Amp setup, and I'm about 90% as happy.

I literally did not know what I was missing. And I consider myself fairly pragmatic about audiophile stuff.

As a side note, this friend was also super into vintage gear, but for different reasons than you mention... for him, vintage gear is how he could take tax writeoffs in his industry (video games), where finding things to expense is fairly difficult. A $50k vintage compressor is an easy loss on the balance sheet, then you sell it later for what you paid, or more. Similar to how art works on the high end.

As far as cables etc are concerned, I personally have a very weird situation, where I have a large radio transmitter on the roof above my apartment. I've found that audio gear involving amplification (turntable pre-amps especially) are very very sensitive to RF interference from the transmitters above me. So I've spent more time than I'd have liked swapping out parts to ensure my entire chain is properly shielded from interference (e.g. I had to get rid of an otherwise great Schiit turntable preamp because it picked up too much noise). Really uncommon and frustrating thing to deal with.
