Because making a simple router or simple state management library from scratch is quite simple. So a lot of people do them to learn how the internals work, like this case here. This makes people better programmers. Some of those folks will then decide to continue the development, put some special things here and there and release it to the world to see if anyone is interested in their version of it. Most of those are ignored, which is fine.

However this makes some people vocally angry, because in theory a developer should know every single packages in the world, but never the internals. Only people of a higher class or caste should be allowed to release stuff to the world. The rest are peasants. How dare they. /s
> Not sure how much cheaper SpaceX launches are for comparable payloads and orbits. I'd suspect they are, with e.g. Ariane developed for other thongs than LEO launches.

The direct competitor to SpaceX is the Space Launch System [0], with a cost of over two billion per launch. SpaceX charges below 100M$ [1] (and has cheaper options available [2]) and you can actually buy it right now (EDIT: although it's true that Ariane is in the same ballpark).

> If Starlink is actually sustainable and profitable has to be seen, it could as well just be a way to push SpaceX profitabiliy further down the road through a Starlink IPO. Now way to tell either way.

Whether a business can survive in the long term is never 100%. Still, you, as an average consumer, can order a satellite dish and get fast and mostly reliable internet for a reasonable-ish price right now. I'd say that checks as delivered.

> In the proof-of-work model, a few folks make a lot of money

That's more a consequence of the poor emission curves that were chosen in the past. Practically no-one has made money on a linear emission PoW coin.

> These folks then go and buy shares in a mining pool using the PoW coin.

The mining pool sharing business is fraught with scams. Most bona fide pools require miners to operate their own rigs.

Do they provide the kind of best-in-class whole-world-analysis optimisations that Graal does?

But we should take a look at what they produce some time!

I think in practicality Graal's LLVM output is not terribly platform agnostic, as LLVM lacks some expressiveness for the thing that Graal needs to do for deoptimisation.
I lived in Edinburgh for 3.5 years and rn I have moved back to Poland. The summers in Edi are great for working, most of the time it is very slightly below t-shirt weather. However, the weather oveerall is really bland for my taste. I enjoy the variety of winter snow and summer heat.

Also, once in a while it is very windy which is not too pleasant. The air feels fresh as well because it is somewhat windy all the time. I remember stepping out of the plane from Edinburgh once and feeling a weird sensation of quietness in my ears - turned out my ears just got used to constant wind.
Do you realize that the Russians are literally threatening him openly because of the Ukrainian Starlink operation? The Kremlin mob has a lot of assassinations behind it, so their threat is absolutely credible, not a random brain fart on the Internet.

I obviously don't know the details, but knowing the number of actual users on Twitter is probably the most important factor to base an offer on? He's not exactly new on Twitter, so if Twitter claims 5% bots he just accepts that? I find that extremely unlikely, unless he had another motive.

Musk is the best, or at least among the best, marketers currently alive. That's it. Let's not make more out of this than it is.
>> Evolutionary pressures in our society and markets seem to favor this behavior (also keeping in mind the last US president).

Trump was the first president since the 80’s/early 90’s not to get a second term. Acting like an asshole only gets you so far maybe until people grow tired of it.
GPU's are good at massively parallel tasks. Compression is, almost by definition, not a parallel problem. If you want speed you can break it up into chunks and if you are optimizing from throughput there are gains to be made there. But if you are optimizing for compression, the more chunks you break the task up into the less opportunity you have to find ways to compress it. For example a fast compression tool creating an archive of files might split up each file into a different thread which gets the job done fast, but it will loose out on huge gains in compression if there are common parts to files that could have been compressed if there were processed as a single blob. GPUs are designed to do lots of small chunks of work in parallel, CPUs are better at doing bigger jobs faster.
>I am not a medical professional

And that's where I stopped reading
If it's a currency they can earn it in a variety of ways. Money has intrinsic economy of scale and pools all by itself.
The author's goal in this seems to be education, not really optimization or replacement of a bigger framework. And I guess this would probably be much less than 1k!
In the sense that the current government in Russia still perceives its former satellites as part of it or its sphere of influence. The US and Russia are the main players here so I'm not considering the opinions of the people living in those states sorry but that's just realpolitik and its the way both sides think. Russia lost its empire during the collapse of the Soviet Union and the United States has been expanding its empire at their expense. Before you say anything about it not being an empire, I'll just say if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck.
What about people who were banned and called Russian bots for their political opinions — Do they count as real people or bots?
This is an amazing book. It explains concepts like the bias-variance tradeoff more clearly than anything else I've read on data science.
Please cite examples to support this, er, rather extraordinary assertion. Which prominent left-wing figures have acted like Elon Musk and have been "completely forgiven"?
Sometimes a daily standup can be a good tool to get a dysfunctional (poorly communicating) team or project into a place where they at least have to get into the habit of communicating with each other enough to convey basic information and tasks on a daily basis.

If the team is already working fine with async communication then it's just another empty ritual that can be safely dropped.
I mostly agree with you. Just to play devil's advocate though, I wonder if this is just an artifact of him being overly open / verbose. In other words, I suspect that all this stuff would normally happen behind closed doors anyway during due diligence. Similarly if you look at his performance in Tesla / SpaceX is terms of hard metrics I guess he's doing pretty well even though he might be talking about self driving being a year away all the time.
It would sure be ironic if he followed the genius-to-madman trajectory of Nikola Tesla.

Author here. Working at a tech company as a developer vs working at a non-tech company are very different.

These two types of roles were called line vs staff when I took a business school class and I think the differences between these two types of roles have a big impact on what the job is like, even if doing the same type of work. It's a bit confusing because it overlaps with 'staff software engineer' term.

I recall hearing stats before that the vast majority of developers work at non-tech companies, but I almost never hear their stories. They are the dark matter of software developers.
Well, yes, and the answer is in your own question.

Here's the thing: there are certain characteristics that are necessary for something to go from Zero to critical mass; then - if that "something" crosses cha chasm, it becomes popular.

Now, the people who are instrumental in taking that "something" from Zero to critical mass are the early adopters (aka the weirdos, the foolish, the hungry) while the later-stage adopters are the boring "average" people, and - of course - spammer and influencers-wanna-bes.

Therefore communities later-stage are qite different environments than early-stage.

You can see that when working in start-ups (garage days vs post IPO days), you can see in using disruptive products, and, very publicly, in Reddit's subs too.

The good old days are indeed the good old days.

I have had myopia since age 18 and it constantly worsened. I got diagnosed with glaucoma in my 30s as a result of high IOP, but only because I started to have bad vision because my right optic nerve is already damaged. I started taking medication to reduce IOP then (a few years ago) and since then my myopia stopped worsening.

I have this image of my eyeball in my head, being basically a skin sack full of water enclosed in the skull in all dimensions but one. My theory is my eyeballs lengthened because of the high IOP. My ophthalmologist says this is impossible. Unfortunately I am not scientifically literate enough to check that and I am not sure who to talk to.

What I am trying to say is, if your myopia is constantly worsening get your IOP tested - just in case.
If programmers are nice to her she won't be uncomfortable.

yes, but no.

This is unethical negotiating. If you make a bid, you better look beforehand, what you're bidding on. If your bidding has an effect on someone, you better be careful with it.
Elon Musk overpaid for Twitter, he knows it and it looks like he's trying to knock the price down or exit the deal entirely
Most European countries have an ever ageing population, so immigration can help counter that trend. Additionally there are labour shortages all over and the taxes immigrants pay also help the country.
> normal healthy diet with animal products

Most people don't eat a "normal >healthy< diet with animal products". It takes as much work to have a meat based healthy diet as a vegetarian based healthy diet.
I'm hopeful for first class support in core.async. JVM support for virtual threads is the last missing piece IMO.
That's possible. I would still start with North Face for a jacket if I needed one due to great experience, possibly compare to an ArcTeryx - had great experience with them too. Both are very expensive of course.
Yes, it is public though I don't have a link. To the best of my knowledge, Twitter is accountable to the SEC if they materially misrepresented any numbers about their business. I don't think the deal has any specific language about that.
I’m not sure how you’d automate pilot checklists, but yes, in principle checklists represent an opportunity for progressive automation. Have you ever read a preflight checklist? The parts that can be automated already are automated.
I think they sound like a user who expects the service to follow German and EU rules and regulations when on a German domain, which sounds not like the world but common sense.

Also "for your $20 month business"? I mean I guess he expects it for everyone's $20 month business.
>Plant-based diet means a higher quality of life for everyone - people

Where is the evidence that vegan/vegetarian diet is beneficial? I've never been more depressed and tired then when I've tried to go all vegan.
I find your take on alternative forms of agriculture a little too optimistic. Even with rotation and biodiversity famines and plagues were common before the use of pesticides. Our technology and knowledge are better now but even with that, I doubt that we could sustain the current population. Not in a way as predictable as now for sure. And for the figure of 75% it is not that simple. A considerable part of the crops consumed by meat production are conformed by not edible material that would have to be produced anyway. Material that ruminants can magically transform into food.

But for the sake of the argument let's say you are right. I'm not as interested in the pesticides example as in knowing how much are you willing to sacrifice in order to follow that logic. Let me rephrase my question then.

- Having more than 2 kids per couple is unnecessary (even less than that for some time).

- Each extra human consumes resources necessarily damaging the animals and the earth.

Would you pass a law banning having children whenever the birth rate surpasses 2?
Yes this is the reason. Using cgo to link in c libraries for example is slower and also brings up other difficulties if you want to cross compile. Here's an old link (may be out of date) outlining some of them:

sorry to pick you up on this, and i’m unable to phrase this in such a way as to not sound inflammatory (again, apologies):

* which ethical AI would that be?

* how many people has elon sent to mars now?

elon has marketed an image to people, one of a tony stark-like figure, that might do or say the wrong thing at the time, but who truly wants to make everything better.

the reality is that, whilst perhaps not a conman (although i find my opinion of him leaning to that end more each day), he’s definitely just another profit-driven business man, with little to no regard of the people around him. and probably a sociopath.

bill gates has done (a lot) more for humanity. and i’m not particularly fond of him, either.
I think human extinction through human stupidity or hubris is much much much more likely than through an unpredictable path down general AI.

For example, some total whack job of an authoritarian leader is in charge of a sufficient nuclear arsenal and decides to intimidate an adversary by destroying a couple minor cities, and the situation escalates badly. (stupidity)

Or we finally pollute our air and/or water with a persistent substance that either greatly reduces human life span or reproduction rate. (hubris)

I think either of the above is more likely to occur, and I am not commenting on current world events in any way. I think when something bad finally happens, it is going to come completely out of left field. Dr Strangelove style.

And the last of us will be saying "Hmmm, I didn't see that coming".
I agree but I'm also unsure if he's putting on that persona because his audience has reacted to it in a positive way. Flanderisation, I think they call it?
This is not the first time I hear about these methods of reversing myopia, you definitely should be able to find someone in your area doing this, if you post in one of the communities saying you're an ophthalmologist interested in measuring someone's progress (and willing to prescribe the glasses)

Where are those people saying Elon is a sophisticated investor ?

All I see in the thread is that it is most likely either a negotiation tactic to lower the price, or a way to get out of the deal without paying 1B.

Don't fall into the reverse cult, from your comment it seems that you have an axe to grind against Elon, and it seems to follow the general narrative towards him that went from savior of humanity a few years ago to total villain now.
And you could buy a luxury car before Tesla, and you can choose your lixury EV from all konds of brands now. Satelite internet existed before, ground based fibre usually is the better solution in most cases, there is a reason satelite communication is expensive when done by everyone else. And the Russians, Ariane,... happily sold launches to anyone before SpaceX.
He seems to open up more when talking to people he considers "on his level" or at least deeply interested in what he is interested in. Take for example photographer and journalist Tim Dodd. Since Tim has a huge passion for rockets and actually wants to dig into the details of rocket engine cycles, manufacturing scale up - all the stuff Elon finds interesting - he really opens up.

That's actually pretty common among those "gifted with mild ASD/ADHD" types, they can't be assed to talk about anything that doesn't pique their interest. I struggled with it a lot until I learned to be more social with other folks' topics of discussion. I think Elon is the logical endpoint of what happens when you have zero pressure to socially accommodate.

It does seem like he's increasingly emboldened to act an ass since being crowned world's richest man.
very well summarised :)
Seems an expensive bribe.
Even if you think he'll have to pay that which from this tweet it seems he's going to try to dodge, he got to sell a lot of stock without anyone thinking he has any doubts on Tesla, which would cost a lot more than 1 billion

This situation is a manifestation of how anonymous others are treated in society. Until our species, our entire global society, matures to the degree that an "anonymous other" is not automatically treated as one of an ignorable population that can be abused without recourse, such scale situations will continue to exist. I use this reasoning to say "humans do not scale". This issue is present everywhere, any place where the group is large enough to form sub-groups, those outside a sub-group become "others" and are treated as a collective, analyzed as a "dumb crowd", and intellectually discredited because they are close enough to an "anonymous other" the treatments of anonymous others bleeds into even these small collectives. It is a real problem, and is barely identified formally.
What do you mean by "people pissed off at the lack of voter IDs"?

Donald Trump incited a group of people to launch a violent attack against the United States Capitol. That's not acceptable behavior.
If CCTV inside a business's premises are okay, you're going to have a hard time arguing that any other surveillance is unlawful.

They're not storing or sharing anything personal about you that you haven't already granted them permission to store (if you have a work badge with your photo on, you already consented to them storing a likeness of your image for identification purposes).

As much as I empathise with you on your stance against RTO, there's nothing here to fight.
Utopia doesn't "also" do this, they are doing something far more useful (bidirectional visual editing of the code) that could actually end up making its way into many people's workflow (it's just a shame that they don't support Typescript yet).

There are plenty of drag and drop visual React builders, but as long as they follow an unidirectional export-once workflow, they are about as useful as a Figma mockup.
Totally, but perhaps by chance if not intent, the interpretation of "hope as rebellion" fits and is evocative, so let's use it.
One of the forgotten aspects of this is how a growing community fights the normal distribution of people's ability.

If I am a small company, it is relatively easy to employ, say, 2 very talented engineers/marketers/sales people.

As the org grows, it becomes harder to recruit the best, we have to accept slightly less than the best if we want to increase headcount. As we grow, we push our talent pool to the average and even possibly below that. Everyone who is not "the best" is, at best, a distraction or deadweight but at worst is causing negative productivity/creating tech debt/making the system less efficient.

Once you add that to the inefficiency of bureaucracy at size, it is a recipe for a lack of performance. Not necessarily rubbish but certainly not as high performing as it felt like in the beginning.
Wonderful when it works. It's always a crap shoot which device will connect to what. I don't have particularly weird kit.
Agreed. But at the same time aren't there other things to address, to tackle.

This won't be popular: but tech self-proclaimes itself as innovative and then wastes time mucking around reinventing wheel after wheel after wheel.

Sure, the self-edu is helpful. Of course. But does that always have to a wheel we've seen before going down a road we've been down before?

This is what the thread starts with: the American style of suburb is quite unusual compared to e.g. Europe though, and AFAIK is driven by zoning laws and car-centric infrastructure more so than by consumer choice. Markets don't necessarily offer people what they want, people's imaginations are often constrained by what's available on the market. Something something, "faster horses".

You specifically said "I don't buy it" to the above comment that was about car oriented suburbs specifically.

Nowhere you specified you are changing topic from the above (suburbs) to "house anywhere".
Here’s a program that can detect bots

Variations can be devised but the real risk is that it also identifies inactive accounts.
When JVM lands support for virtual threads, what reasons remain for using core.async?

core.async will still be useful in ClojureScript land, though.
It is not a ponzi. The 20% they were paying out should be considered a cost of user acquisition paid out by the team themselves. If paying incentives to attract users is a crime, we’d have to shutter most startups.

I’m not defending Terra, but we should be precise with our words lest we escape reality ourselves.
We live in such a connected world that it sometimes feels like nothing matters unless it directly impacts billions of people, but the fortunate truth is that you only need a tiny fraction of that to have a vibrant and fulfilling community. A few thousand dedicated individuals is all it takes.
No, he didn't "get there" with this behavior. Elon's unstable erratic mini-Trump phase is relatively recent. Tesla and SpaceX were well-established on their current paths well before then.
Love it when people get up in arms about this sort of stuff.

> Why are we subsidizing this?

Realize that your opinion is in the vast minority of the populations.
Im not saying either way is right here, Im just saying that most people disagree with you and that would go to explain why things that you want are not on the general agenda of governments.
Can't you use 220/110v power wiring to also transmit ethernet? Seems a bit simpler than laying new cable.
Exactly. Quito and (very similarly) Medellin missing? Huge red flag.

The methodology is very clearly flawed; maybe amusing as a programming exercise, but of no value in determining where one wants to live.
It created a lot of churn, but I think it has been net positive for Go because they now have a huge ecosystem of stuff that can be installed without the black hole of C/C++ dependency installation.
