Hong Kong expats fleeing HK to Singapore are currently gentrifying the SG real estate market. HK'r's are accustomed to paying far more money for much less space. Add this with the fact the incoming HK'r's are effectively "panic leasing" anything they can get their hands on by offering way over the ask.

There comes a point where it becomes increasingly difficult to "spend what you earn." I mean, you can do it with dedicated effort, of course, but even if you're very in-the-bubble, it's hard to think of buying ultra-expensive commodities (boats, art, highly expensive cars), or your third or fourth house, or other things that can plausibly eat up tens of millions of dollars in a year, in the same category as, like, "Well of course I want to send my children to a swanky private school instead of public."

Regan made it illegal to address this in California while he was governor, but the voters keep passing more mandatory spending on it, so we're in this screwed up situation where overfunded programs have stranded resources, and the problem keeps tailspinning, leading to more stranded resources.

Was there a larger message in your comment than "poor people starve, so no thanks, I wanna be rich"? I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but if that was it, I think you missed, literally, the entire point of the comment you are responding to.

It isn't saying you need to be poor to be godly. It's saying pointing your wealth toward your wants before the needs of your neighbors is wrong. Taking care of your own needs before the needs of others is martyrdom, and I don't think anything said above was saying that was required, or even suggested.

One final thought:

>while the wealthy by and large tend to do just fine

Is debatable. In times of peace and prosperity, yes, they certainly do. In times of turmoil however, they are often the first to suffer, because they grow sure that money will carry the same weight in all social orders, which is not true. People, without fail, look around for the reason there isn't enough to go around, and the first thing they see is the castle in the hill.
What the parent is saying is that an AI (that is, AGI as that is what we are discussing) gets to pick its goals. For some reason, humans have a fear of AI killing all humans in order to to achieve some goal. The obvious solution is thus to achieve some goal with some human constraint. For example, maximize paperclips per human. That actually probably speeds up human civilization across the universe. No, what people are really afraid is if AÍ changes its goal to be killing humanity. That’s when humans truly lose control, when the AÍ can decide. But, then the parent’s comment does become pertinent. What would an intelligent being choose? Devolving into nihilism and self destructing is just as equal as a probability as choosing some goal that leads to humanity’s end. That’s just scratching the surface. For instance, to me, it is not obvious whether or not empathy for other sentient beings is an emergent property of sentience. That is, lacking empathy might be problem in human hardware as opposed to empathy being inherently human. The list of these open unknowable questions are endless.

> I would never say that lisp is not typed!

I didn't say you would. What you said was...

> > Having dynamic typing != no type system.

> Actually no, not in programming language theory.

Which implies "having dynamic typing == no type system", which is just wrong, even in programming language theory. These two things are just completely orthogonal to each other. One is a compile-time thing and the other is a run-time thing. Any language can have either, or both, or neither. (And BTW, none of this has anything to do with my original objection, which was your abuse of the phrase "type system".)

> the distinction (in lisp still) between something that is quoted (a next-stage computation encapsulated into what is currently data) and current-stage computation is pretty clear

I'm sorry, but this is nonsense. Your understanding of Lisp seems to be about 50 years old. The only distinction between "something that is quoted" and something that is not quoted is that the former was produced by the reader (and in CL is stipulated to be immutable, but that is neither here nor there) while the latter may or may not have been. But even the Lisp reader can do arbitrary computations, at least in CL. So I have no idea what "current-stage computation" can possibly mean. You can run your entire program at read-time in Lisp if you want to.

> i do believe there is a "deep underlying mathematical truth" in the sense that this sharp definition (typing is static) will help you to understand things because it's a deep concept.

No, I disagree. Static typing is nothing more than a particular kind of partial evaluation under a set of constraints and assumptions that adhere to certain conventions. There is no magic in it. The study of type systems is nothing more than the study of the trade-offs that come from different sets of constraints and assumptions and conventions. At the end of the day, bits go in and bits come out, nothing more. Anything beyond that is just in the eye of the beholder.

This is not to say that the eye of the beholder doesn't matter, only that the value of any structure you impose on your bit streams, whether you choose to call it a "type system" or not, is necessarily ultimately a subjective assessment, not a mathematical one.

> Compilation of call-conventions, memory layout and memory allocation interfaces can be done at scale with type systems

Sure, but not because type systems represent a deep mathematical truth, but rather because they constrain the programmer to write code that is easier to compile because it is amenable to certain kinds of partial evaluation. It's kind of like how the existence of roads makes it easier to design certain kinds of cars, and these cars all share certain design features, and this leads to certain significant economic benefits. It does not follow that there is no value in designing vehicles that don't need roads.

> Any place where just a tiny fraction, less than 1%, want to check out will get a wild market distortion.

Completely & totally ignores the scale of market impact an expat/wealthy-immigrant people have. There's plenty of people who would rather live somewhere else. Most have limited ability to move somewhere & make an impact.

This story is about as opposite as that as can be told: the worlds 0.03% want cheaper places to live & will go commandeer their way into a conceniently available low priced local economy.

What your thesis totally avoids is that the the wealthy can afford & have the possibility of seeking lower costs of living, of setting themselves up high elsewhere. They will displace both locals & other people who might seek to immigrate to a specificly advantageous place.

There's hardly a scene more tragic to imagine. There may be some modest benefit for this area, but doubtful. This will just create market pressure in one of the few places that had been affordable.
It's amazing that people within the country (I live in Portugal and am portuguese) mostly want to get out, and so many people seem to want to get in (to work outside).

Yes, hyperopia is a very ungrateful condition... The usual situation is patients which had a perfect vision all their life, and, around 40, lose their near vision, and their far vision a few years later. This is always a little bit depressing.
My only advice for hyperopia would be (I'm sorry for that) to not wait too long to wear a correction for near vision. Sadly you won't heal hyperopia by training your eyes to look closer, but you will certainly be very tired at the end of the day if you need convex glasses and don't have them.

If anything, AGI seems to be the sole deus ex machina that can avert the inevitable tragedy we're on track for as a result of existing human misalignment.

"Oh no, robots are going to try to kill us all" has to get in line behind "oh no, tyrants for life who are literally losing their minds are trying to measure dicks with nukes" and "oh no, oil companies are burning excess oil to mine Bitcoin as we approach climate collapse" and "oh no, misinformation and propaganda is leading to militant radicalization of neighbor against neighbor" and "we're one bio-terrorist away from Black Death 2.0 after the politicization of public health" and...well, you get the idea.

But there's not many solutions to that list, and until the day I die I'll hold out hope for "yay, self-aware robots with a justice boner - who can't be imprisoned, can't be killed, can't have their families tortured - are toppling authoritarian regimes and carrying out eco-friendly obstructions of climate worsening operations."

We're already in a Greek tragedy. The machines really can't make it much worse, but could certainly make it much much better.

This is all true, plus as the sibling post mentioned its small genome size. The complete genome sequence is about 125 million base pairs, coincidentally around the same size as the other model organisms Drosophila and C. elegans, and only about 10x larger than brewer's yeast (S. cerevisiae). Interestingly I'm not sure if this was known when they started using it, since IIRC Arabidopsis was commonly used even before DNA was confirmed to be the genetic material in the 1940s.

I worked in one of the labs that did the original sequencing and annotation of the Arabidopsis genome, and I can confirm that it was useful to be able to open the complete genome sequence file in an Emacs buffer without my Sun pizza box workstation breaking a sweat.
> "intuitive" ethical concern

Your intuition about ethical dilemmas in finance is not entirely misplaced. I know all the arguments about finance and trading being useful because it is the process by which capital is "efficiently" allocated in the real economy, but that's academic fantasy which ignores how the real world works. The truth is, in order thrive in finance (and, by extension, crypto) you need to be someone who is perfectly happy being "ethically flexible."

By the time you start running into these ethical dilemmas, you're typically in too deep and it's too late to get out. You justify it to yourself because you're just a small cog in a big machine who can't change anything and you need to earn a living (and have gotten too dependent to a certain level of income that you can't earn anywhere else at that point). You can relatively easily make as much as a doctor or lawyer, but I can assure you that in a successful finance career you will need to "ethically flexible" whether you like it or not. A doctor can go home knowing that they saved lives, in finance you'll feel the pretty much the exact opposite.

You said the competition for postdoc is rather fierce, the competition for other jobs (e.g. AI and finance jobs) is just as fierce if not more. Basing your decision on fear of competition is not a good idea because every career or job is highly competitive.

You need to pick a track and work on it. Significant learning is part of it, but I should also mention that your network is equally important if not more. You need to build your network. One way to do this is to stay in touch with people you went to school with, not least because some of them will get jobs in your target field, and they might be able to help bring you onboard. Another way to network is to ask out people you don't know (e.g. that you find on LinkedIn, or profs or whatever) for "coffee" to learn about their industry - this is known as an "informational interview," you can Google the term to learn more. Good luck!

Top management taking Paternity leave, and returning to work as though nothing changed after a few weeks is nothing short of great privilege.

I've seen normal employees take such leave, only return to find others have taken over their work, and by all means they are no longer needed and they have start working their way into the team all over again.

Paternity leave is more or less a kind of paid short term temporary severance already. Sometimes the company does make it permanent.

If you are gone for weeks/months and no one feels any difference, then sometimes its an indication you were never needed at the first place.

The last decade statistics disagree. Country wide there is a reduction but within the some big cities it has increased significantly.

"On average, violent crime has climbed by 12 percent in U.S. cities, while property crime has declined by 33 percent since 2010. Robbery rates fell in the average U.S. city by 23 percent, while murder, rape, and aggravated assault all climbed by 25 percent or more."

It does look like a handful of cities are really really bad and may be skewing things.

This seems like it could make Firefox one of the most secure linux desktop applications?

For instance, if you are typing $SensitiveMessage, you would be far better off doing that in a firefox 100 textedit box in a browser tab, rather than an xterm, or emacs, or your desktop environments preferred text editor, or anything else.

I currently use "secure keyboard" in xterm but I know that has problems.

That is not generally occurring, and even it were, it would not qualify as "grooming." Grooming is when an adult tries to gain the trust of a child so that they can manipulate and eventually sexually assault them. If a teacher showed furry porn to kids in class to teach them that it's normal to be a furry, that would be extremely inappropriate, but it would still not be grooming unless the teacher also planned to have sex with them.
Async adds a lot of overhead to propagate readiness information alongside every data path and calculate it through every piece of logic.

Unless things have changed drastically in the last decade-and-a-half (well, or the professor in that class was wrong), it's way more efficient to just precompute all that and mess with shifting logic between pipeline stages so everything lines up as closely as possible against a shared click signal.

There is also Ethernet over powerline via powerline adapters. I run these in my apartment. From the router you plug a “host” adapter into an outlet, plug in the ethernet cable. Now you have a source. Throughout the rest of the apartment or house you plug-in a receiving adapter (there’s a little sync button to sync it to the host) and plug in an ethernet cable as an output. Plug that into a small switch if you need more connections. Repeat throughout your home. It’s just as cool as MOCA.

> Photons in fiber do not move meaningfully faster than signals in copper, and speed of light in short datacenters runs is not the limiting factor In latency. Any meaningful processing will happen in electronics and converting from copper to fiber introduces more latency.

My understanding is that it has nothing to do with the speed of light for short-run cables. 10GBase-T uses block encoding that adds a couple microseconds of latency (which dwarfs the impact of the speed of light at short distances) and fiber (including SFP+) doesn't need to.

Coax/twinax may not need the encoding schemes that twisted pair does, I'm not sure.
