Yeah this is the main question in my head Im curious to see how it plays out. Assuming Musk comes back at a lower price that may be shrewd negotiating, but once he buys they’re out right? Taking a 20% haircut on your investment seems like something a lot of people may not swallow, especially if they think the market will turn around and trust Parag. Heck, there stock was like at 65 a year ago.
Headline is misleading - it leaves out that the instrument is an accordion.

Thank God. It has been so tiring listening to all the people playing the Greater Fool game of trying to get to an acquisition or IPO or SPAC. Maybe people can go back to build real actual useful products and services.
It's a bit sad to see it this way.

What makes you think he didn't? So his team has a number, their team has a number.

The numbers diverge wildly.
They might even become part of the next YC batch. A recursively nested logging platform - quite a novel idea. Possibly even possible to patent.
In this case, yes.
This is actually a good time to switch jobs because you'll be offered a compensation package with equity at relatively depressed prices.
...or housing will drop as interest rates go up. And a non insignificant number of folks were over extended in leverage.

I know too many folks who did 7/1 ARMs cash out refi to purchase another home in a 7/1 ARM loan, banking not on cashflow but appreciation.

I know of folks who bought homes using margin loans in their stock portfolio.

If housing stagnates, there will be margin calls, leading to supply shock, and price declines. Especially now that mortgage interest rates have nearly doubled year to date.
>the toolchain used for building is some customized thing. I work in automotive.

That's because in automotive the microcontrollers are more complex, with multiple cores of different types doing different things, so the build process is more complex therefore the final binary goes through several steps like patching various calibration data, FPGA bit-streams, cyptopgraphic keys, fuses, debug data, etc. but even so, those custom toolchains still call a comercial compiler via command line using some perl/python scrips at the end of the day.

You can script same steps with IAR or Keil if you wish, their compiler support the same command line functionality, except that in IoT we mostly used their solution 'as-is' since it worked well with their debuggers out of the box meaning quicker time to market.

Automotive development has a lot more crust in general due to legacy, safety, legal, plus bs stuff like the entire Autosar stack needing to be added to each build whether you need it all or not so a lot of inefficiencies build up over time due to this inertia leading to some insanely complex and lengthy build processes.

"We need to consider politically viable solutions (e.g. researching more efficient methods to grow tastier artificial meat)"

It's already here. I tasted an "impossible burger" the other day that tasted very convincing. There are tons of other meat substitutes that are very tasty and convincing, and still very tasty even when not quite like meat.

Ok, not absolutely everything that can be made from meat can yet be simulated absolutely convincingly, but do we really need 100% verisimilitude before switching away from meat?

Many people just haven't even tried the many meat substitutes out there, so can't imagine they could get by without meat. But they can.

Questions like these were mostly answered decades ago, at least operationally.

Broadly, most of behaviour is more-or-less mechanical, stimulus-reponse chains, while some behaviour has a "transmitted" component (aka "culture"), but learning is itself generally of the first order (like how children learn to walk and talk automatically); and then there is third-degree learning: the learning process itself comes to be self-reflexively the subject of culture, and this seems to be somehow the essence or crux of what differentiates humans from animals.
"Then there are rising interest rates. Besides possibly triggering a downturn, they reduce the present value of tech companies’ profits, most of which lie far in the future."

This is key. If you have a 10 year horizon for your startup investments, hoping that one in 100 will become the next Amazon or Google, you're going to discount those future cashflows into todays dollars by applying an interest rate connected to current reality. If the base interest rates have skyrocketed, then the net present value of that future cashflow is way less. It's mentioned briefly in the article, but I wanted to unpack it here because it's a key reason that high inflation makes investment in startups far less attractive.

"It would be wrong to compare the current tech slump to the bursting of the dotcom bubble two decades ago. Back then companies had neither healthy balance-sheets nor promising business models."

I disagree with this. I'm not going to call out specific public companies, but there are many with no Price/Earnings to speak of because they are running at a massive loss. These companies are highly speculative investments and have yet to prove that they can turn a profit. It's not hard to generate revenue growth of 30% per year while running at a 20% loss. Creating a truly profitable company is hard, and much of the reason why these companies are listed on public markets is because early investors wanted to cash out by selling their stock to the public, rather than bear the risk of finding out whether the business can turn a profit.

Many of these never-been-profitable companies have eye-wateringly high valuations based on multiple of revenue. We've seen 10x to 25x revenue in the past few years, while losing money hand over fist and never having proven they can ever turn a profit and become self sustainable. Just like the dot-com era, these folks are world class at creating the right optics and making the right noises on quarterly investor calls. But at the end of the day, creating a business that makes more money than it spends is what it's all about, and that is very difficult to do. These never-profitable businesses have been benefiting from the era of free money, and as that time ends, so will they.
That sounds broken. It's supposed to be voluntary.

This has been a long time coming.

Back in the day, there was an inherent understanding that a stock price is supposed to reflect "the fundamentals" - present value of the company + future earnings. And of course there was some amount of speculation around future earnings, but for the most part companies at least tried to be profitable.

But if you look at the share price of like, Tesla - it's completely insane. There is no way your slice of the company is worth that much. The stock market has been behaving like a pyramid scheme, where everyone assumed there will be more money entering than leaving any given stock.

Tech is a pretty egregious sector because of how many business models basically boil down to "we don't actually need to make money if we have a desirable stock". In the long run, I don't think we'll be worse off if the next generation of software companies actually focuses on making products people want to buy rather than play games with DAU and user acquisition and etc.

You are -- non-self tail-calls. If you have mutually tail-recursive functions, say f1, f2, ..., f_n you have two problems without TCO:

1. There is no way to rewrite this into loops by just modifying the insides of these functions.

2. The remedy, which is to transform these functions and everything that calls them into a giant loop causes lots of problems:

The code will become utterly unreadable (if you do this transform manually).

Modularity is completely broken and there's no sane way to expose these functions individually to external callers.

Also, even if you don't care about either of the above: your compiler's optimizer will probably choke on it (https://blog.reverberate.org/2021/04/21/musttail-efficient-i...).
I grew up with a BBC B, and later an Archimedes.

It's not irresponsible to bid 20% over asking. Asking is deliberately underpriced, because it is excellent advertising in a hot RE market.

It's irresponsible to bid 20% over what the house is worth (which has nothing to do with asking price), just because you got emotionally attached to the house, and started a bidding war with another person emotionally attached to the house.
Inflation metrics show that the economy post 2008 was in fact under stimulated, which is why the recovery from the financial crisis was so slow. The recent COVID-related stimuli are what went too far.

Offering support to people who want it is important and necessary. I am willing to bet however that a decent sized city contains at least one and probably several people who do not very much like having their lives managed by teams of social workers (I wouldn’t!) and will instead avail themselves of their right to shit on the floor of the train station.

There is

- TV tax (also if you don't own a TV),

- pension tax (also if you have ETFs of your own),

- care and health insurance are two things separately deducted before money makes it into your bank account,

- iirc until 2021 eastern germany taxes to help poorer regions,

- church taxes if your parents signed you up for it -- until you pay a fee to get unregistered from the church.

This is all separate from income tax. And of course if you own a car or want to use public transport that's separate still.

Not sure what my landlord pays for waste management, in NL I think you pay separately for that, can't quickly find it for Germany (German Wikipedia about Kommunalabgaben says Abwassergebühren are indeed a municipality or city circle thing, but then two others said you don't pay anything to the municipality so I'm not confident I'm reading this German article correctly).
> "Just works"

This couldn't be further from the truth. I have been using a work-provided M1 since December, and it has been absolute hell.

If you want to use two monitors in clamshell mode? Tough luck.

> Having to learn a new OS/new shortcuts/etc

If you use an external ISO keyboard, this is a really bad experience. You are able to swap the mac key and ctrl in the options, but that doesn't work for all apps (notably: ITerm/ITerm2). So much for a consistent experience.

> Docker not running well (maybe this is better than it was in 2021 though?)

Colima does a lot to improve the situation, the problem is that Rosetta doesn't work in the Lima VM; it falls back to QEMU emulation. If you need to a) build an amd64 image or b) run an single-arch/amd64 image good luck. For example, I had to remove the default VOLUME from the official RabbitMQ image and it was easier to send the Dockerfile to my coworker - on the M1 the build segfaulted after about 20min (it completed on an Intel MB in about 2min). This is not the first container-related segfault I've experienced, not by a long shot.

Lima aims to be WSL for Mac, and it gets incredibly close. However, just this week I learned that the M1 does not support nested virtualization. I was attempting to play around with Firecracker, and you can't on the M1: full stop.

This whole situation could be vastly improved if Apple added container support to the kernel, but that certainly isn't happening: MacOS is a consumer product, not a developer product.

> Have any long time Linux users switched over?

I use Silverblue on my personal desktop. Think for a minute how many third-party tools are required to turn MacOS into a barely capable developer platform (e.g. Homebrew, Colima/Rancher Desktop). Many of those tools receive deserved high praise for how they improve the MacOS developer experience. However, there isn't anything to compare them to. People love Homebrew because they would be shit out of luck without it. It doesn't hold a candle to whats available on Linux (and I'm an avid distro hopper).

I'm setting up a VM in the cloud so that I can just get my fucking job done.

First level TCO yes, however the annotation way doesn't work for mutually recursive calls.
California doesn't merely produce "fun" foods. Most of the agricultural land outside California is being applied to its most economically efficient use case. Plenty of the remaining viable land is ecologically valuable in itself. There's no scenario where agricultural production plummets in CA yet remains steady in the US as a whole.

>If California wasn't growing them already, people wouldn't be buying them from California.

The history of the region begs to differ. Water management in the West was deliberately pursued by the federal government to promote agriculture.
Using corn for ethanol fuel is bone-headed. That's among the first things we should quit doing. It's a convoluted subsidy for corn farmers, nothing more. As an energy supply it's net-negative.
It's rather that founders with a proper vision build companies regardless of market swings. During a boom cycle there's abundant founding, even for trash projects. Markets aren't as efficient as many assume, especially not in the short term. Now we're at the end of a boom cycle and everything gets battered but that's just the valuation changing, nothing else. It's speculation. In the public eye quality projects will emerge again a couple of years down the line when they're starting to get really big and no one except those actually interested in the tech will have paid attention to how they were working hard the entire time.
Interestingly, I've heard many instances where interviewees asked startups about their revenues and the startups just wouldn't tell them, saying that it's growing, or some other vague nonsense. Even in the case of inquiring about the amount of equity one gets, many startups would not tell them the actual percentage of the company they'd get, instead opting to tell them the number of shares, without actually telling them the total number of shares. Well, 1000 shares out of 10k is very different than 1000 out of 10MM.

This is a huge red flag in my eyes, of not being open enough to see the books. It signals that something is quite wrong at the company, and even if it weren't, that they are not truly honest with their employees.
A great example is sunrise at the peak in Haleakala National park on Maui.

The reservation approach is two pronged. One batch of the majority of reservations is offered well in advanced. Then something like 48 hours before hand the final batch is offered.

This helps those who want more spontaneous while also keeping the numbers manageable.

Bluntly, the US population has mostly grown to the point where we are regularly having to deal with the fact that some things and experiences are just limited.

There's something endearing and maddening about a culture like ours that just flat out doesn't understand limits.
There really isn't a comparison between engineers figuring out how to build a sustainable biosphere on Mars, and the problems that we're presumably discussing on Earth, like climate change and pollution, which are political problems inasmuch as billion dollar business models are benefiting from them, and actively fighting your efforts to interfere.
It's amazing to me in general how much of a divergence in expectations of performance vs reality that branch prediction misses causes in modern software.

So many techniques that would improve performance on a 1980s processor can be woefully inefficient on a 21st century one. It's so easy to be still holding the computing model of the former in your head.
I don't have an issue with paid tools either. I have an issue with non-extensibility and relying on small companies that may go out of business at any moment.

You could arguably remediate the former issue with a good plugin API. Then again this program may not be aimed at developers, but more at designers, which may care a bit less about extensibility and covering special use cases.
I wouldn't say "nearly impossible", although big companies do tend to have a few teams in that position. Everywhere I've worked, large or small, there have been a substantial number of engineers who justify their work in terms of money for the company and rocket up the career ladder because of it. (And I've seen a lot of seemingly "cog in the machine" tasks that have large dollar amounts attached as far as management is concerned.)
Best summary so far.

Margin loans for house purchases isn't as insane as it might sound - assuming your financials are there. Margin interest is deductible against investment gains, house interest may not be for many earners.

But not refinancing afterwards into a low fixed rate may come back to bite them, and soon.
It’s funny as that was my experience interviewing with companies between 1998-2000. Just insane business models but brazen confidence in themselves.

I remember interviewing with a company in 2000 that had burned through like $40 in two years. This was New York and they hired IBM. I don’t remember their product but it was stupid. They had paid IBM to build their own custom app server for Java because their requirements were too specific for WebSphere that IBM made. They built their own internal Java app server from scratch.

So that was stupid.

Also the interview was on a Tuesday or something and they said that they were out of money on Friday but were confident they would get more money on Monday.

They wanted me to start immediately and when I turned them down because of the funding, they asked if I would start on Monday.

It was such a surreal experience that a whole organization could be so crazy.

Or derivatives?? Generalizing from GNU APL to APL as a whole is a stretch in my opinion, but telling people not to use K on the basis of your APL experiences is something else entirely. They are very different languages. For example K uses only ASCII and has never supported dynamic scoping, only (somewhat restricted) lexical scoping.
Actually in this case we need to double down on research.
M:N hybrid threads were in vogue at the turn of the millennium. Solaris had them, some of the *BSDs had them and IBM almost got them in Linux. There was also a lot of research on the topic (look for scheduler activation). They went out of fashion because they slowed down parallel programs (as opposed to highly concurrent programs) and required a lot additional complexity.

Then the "10k Problem" article popularized poll-based architectures as opposed to threaded ones and the rest is history.
That's not empathy though. The thing is, a lot of folks will get conned over and over, especially as the times change and the cons evolve.

You're still thinking of it as something people can learn, but psychology / history says otherwise.

This is why I say empathy is important. For you, it's obvious. For others, it's not.

In addition, there are other factors at play, like desperation (when you're living paycheck to paycheck, you _want_ to believe there's a way out).

Everyone has different experiences / situations to grapple with, and as a society we should try to help folks find the happy path and protect them. Especially so for those of us who recognize cons!

So I guess I wouldn't understand the "empathy goes both way" statement.
> You might think this could be solved by having routers automatically figure out the least interference-prone channel to use, but many of them seem to be quite bad at this.

Partly because of the physics involved. The AP can't magically sense the best channel for the clients, since it can't sense the spectrum at the client's.
Yes. The causes are different but the effects will be similar.

Already open positions are being quietly withdrawn, people leaving are not backfilled, big projects are delayed or cancelled.

Then as customers start pulling back or failing themselves, layoffs begin. It's terrible for the people impacted and those left behind who are often called on to take up the slack.

My advice for anyone in the position of having to lay off staff: Be decent, help people move on, and do it early and do it all at once, not in uncertain "maybe things will turn around next quarter" waves which destroys trust.
