> Because at some point the West will have to sit at the negotiating table with Russia.

I hope not. I've really taken to the idea that China should manage their connections to the West and hopefully take a lot off the top until Putin is dead.

China not being a democracy doesn't seem to be a problem when it comes to institutional stabilities for managing NK. The US has done a lot worse with some of its dictator client states.

Sure if the Russians want to have another revolution and run new elections or something that's great but trying to get Russia to do something is like pushing against a horse. Lets let China push Russia and see what happens.

> You no longer need services like tailscale or zerotier or VPN like wireguard just to connect to your home network. You also do not need static IP.

I disagree. Technologies like Tailscale, zerotier and Wireguard mostly exist to secure your private, distributed network. Tailscale has all kinds of measures to circumvent NATs, sure, but the main point is access control, encryption by default and presenting as little an attack surface as possible (by routing everything through Wireguard).

IPv6 doesn't give you that: IPv6 addresses can still easily be spoofed, and ports can still be scanned. And vulternabilities in applications listening on public ports will always exist. VPNs provide you with an additional layer of security.
I have had similar experiences with the X1 Extreme. The biggest issue I have had is that the repair process almost always breaks something new. The first one spent so much time getting repaired that I actually bought a second one so that I could at least have one functional laptop. The second one is a newer generation, but the quality issues are similar.

It's entirely possible to have rewarding & meaningful interactions with narcissistic people. Here's my process.

First, realize you're not so much better. Don't expect too much.

Next, don't insult them. Be aware of power games; don't get confused. Be straightforward.

Generally avoid putting yourself in a situation where you need something from them. If they offer a favor, accept it (if you want) and say "thank you".

Finally, don't try to fix them. Be simple. Offer them your time, and not much else.

You'd be surprised at how many narcissists are relieved and happy to meet someone who behaves in this way.

> how it feels for normal people who get there shit done

My perspective is that once I took a step back and really looked, I noticed almost nobody is getting ANY shit done, and perhaps that’s OK. I was just holding myself to unreasonable standards of what “shit done” is that I don’t hold other people to and that was the root cause of my exhaustion. Society progressing is really just a series of extremely tiny things with the occasional rare major event pushed up to human population scale, something that one individual can’t compete against without burning out.

I'm not saying there are absolutely no people out there who are actually getting shit done and making it look easy, and somehow never burning out, but they are by far the exception and in no way "normal" people (and in many cases they are ticking time bombs, but the fallout may be well hidden)

Here are some Model Jury Instructions for Wire Fraud charges from the 9th circuit: https://www.ce9.uscourts.gov/jury-instructions/node/583

They’re not what I would call a “layman’s definition”. When you’re on a trial like this, you’ll probably get a printed out version of these instructions to read over and over while deliberating. And the lawyers on each side will try to contextualize their arguments against this exact language (as long as the judge doesn’t think they’re being misleading or breaking other rules).

You may not come into the trial as an expert on wire fraud, but the court will give you the background info you need, and you’re expected to make a judgement based on the law.
Interesting that cash flow is determining factor. This goes along with my pet theory: Uber drivers don’t drive because the value is positive post-depreciation but because it is a mechanism to turn an asset (car) into cash flow (Uber rides)!
> I never set out to become some kind of uber developer, but in the last couple of years I have noticed a shift in behaviors around me. It started with little things. Tech Leads inviting me into meetings to express my perspective on things. Developers pinging me when I have never worked with them, because "you probably know the answer". Being asked to weigh in specific Code Reviews outside my department. Lately if I join a meeting with people I haven't talked to before they already know who I am. Even my manager has started introducing me by just saying "This is X, you've probably heard of him".

This is an interesting comparison of memory semantics I stumbled upon: https://paste.sr.ht/blob/731278535144f00fb0ecfc41d6ee4851323...

Nim's modern memory management (ARC/ORC) is fairly similar to Rust. ARC functions by reference-counting at compile time and automatically injecting destructors: which is broadly comparable to Rust's ownership + borrow checker.

(A big difference is that Nim's types are Copy by default: this leads to simpler code at the expense of performance. You have control over this, keeping memory safety, with `var`, `sink`, and others, as highlighted in the above link.)

https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/15/introduction-to-arc-orc...

For reference cycles (the big limitation of reference counting), there's ORC: ARC + a lightweight tracing garbage collector.

As I understand it Rust also cannot handle reference cycles without manually implementing something similar.

I would vote for the Pentium IV for all the reasons mentioned in the article, but more importantly because it was initially coupled with Rambus memory. Intel pushed that tech so hard to try and squeeze out AMD. Super high frequency, high bandwidth, high expense memory with terrible latency was not the future anyone wanted. Intel's hubris back then was off the charts.

I know intel wanted Itanium to succeed for the same reasons, but the PIV came very close to home since it actually shipped for consumers. Oddly enough, Extreme Tech was a huge shill for Intel back in those days. Funny they don't mention that in this article.

My understanding is it's generally un-curable since it's such a deeply rooted and ingrained coping mechanism for the ego. Like an addiction. But if I had to guess, someone would probably have to deeply work on true self-compassion (a lot of narcissists are, internally, extremely self-critical, if I understand the condition correctly) and build back from near zero. Sounds really difficult.
Narcissism is an excess of identity. The self runneth over. Image empuppets the person.

Whether the Big Tech companies stock saw growth doesn’t matter to VCs.

And VCs have never consistently beat the S&P 500. They aren’t the ones you want to take financial advice from.
Cuts are done because the business has changed. Some part of the business was destroyed by external factors, and now the company needs to adjust to the new reality. It could be that VC money dries up or that customers stop spending. It doesn't mean that 20% wasn't required in the past, only that they are not required now.

This is also why a company should cut a little more than needed, so they have some cushion for things to get worse before getting better again.

Sure, CICO definitely applies, but so what? The first derivative of stored calories doesn't tell you anything interesting about causes.

Your bank balance is a sum of money coming and and money going out, but what causes money coming in and what causes money going out are much more useful to anyone trying to earn wealth or avoid debt than the mere fact that your bank balance is their sum.

Like you, many people are convinced that the issue is "willpower / intellect". But this doesn't share a causal relationship with CICO! The willpower argument is like saying "oh yeah, to become rich, just earn more than you spend!" -- sure, that's true, and then someone says "ok, how do I do that?"; if your answer is "willpower!" I doubt they'll find that very satisfying.

Since I suspect you didn't read the post either, I'll excerpt two questions here:

(1) Rates of obesity in lab rats -- whose diets haven't changed -- have also increased over the last 50 years. Do they lack willpower too?

(2) Average calorie consumption hasn't changed much over the last 50 years, and nor has calorie expenditure. Average weight gain is in fact super slow, on the order of a few pounds per year, for most obese individuals. That's the equivalent of overeating by ~7000 calories each year -- only 1% of typical annual consumption. It's hard to imagine that people don't have the willpower to reduce their food consumption by 20 calories per day. Losing weight by keeping up a caloric deficit requires a ton of willpower because your body super fights against starvation. But why would a lack of willpower be the reason people perpetually eat 1% too many calories? And why did they only start doing that 50 years ago?

CICO is not a useful causal explanation for the obesity epidemic. Obesity at the societal level is a more interesting problem than merely CICO, despite how many people think the reason is some variant of willpower.
At 2.5% interest, the monthly payment on a 450k home is $1,778.

At 9% interest, the monthly payment on a 240k home is $1,931. Mortgage interest rates were higher than this throughout the 1980’s. They got as high as 18% which would yield a $3,617 monthly payment.

This means that the person who followed the “3x your income” rule in the 1980’s has a harder time paying the bills than the person who bought the home for 450k with a low interest rate.

This is a badly-formed rule because it ignores a key variable - the interest rate. Sometimes, it will prevent someone from buying a home they can afford. Other times, it will cause them to buy a home they can’t afford. There’s no need for such a rule, because mortgage payment calculators that take into account the interest rate are easily available. It’s like picking a shoe size based on how much you weigh instead of measuring how big your feet are. If it gives you the right answer, that’s out of sheer luck.

Of course, it’s necessary to also take into account factors like taxes and other expenses which vary from place to place and person to person, but a simple mortgage payment calculator is a good place to start.
> I guess you don't get wind, rain, or snow there.

Hahahah. It's michigan. We get some of the more intense winter weather in the states.

That's actually part of the problem, it's an extremely variable climate, we get over 100F in the summer and under 0F in the winter. It results in a lot of road wear compared to more southerly states, due to the freeze-thaw cycle.

The west side of the state is comparable to New York, tons of lake effect snow. No hurricanes here though.
Ukraine doesn't have much of a merchant fleet. Most of their exports travel on foreign bottoms. And foreign ship owners are unwilling to risk entering an active conflict zone, especially because they can't obtain affordable insurance.
Wealth is the stuff that people value. Money is one of the measures we use to measure that value, particularly when talking about "wealth creation". So if public stock market valuation is considered a good measure for wealth creation, why not crypto market cap?

I guess if you really wanted to, you could take cellulase in the way that people can take lactase to mitigate the effects of lactose intolerance.

How you'd actually get your stomach to brew that up into anything useful in time is anyone's guess, and what it would do to the rest of you is an exercise for the keen experimenter.

We are basically too active and too large to eat grass, even if we had lactase.

> What they were into, big time, was canning vegetables,

My grandmother did this too, after living her childhood through WW2 (in Germany), she used to have a repository of canned vegetables in the cellar. I sometimes talked to her about her rural live in the war-torn country, and she told me about soldiers, and all kinds of people, who would come by in war-time, where food was very sparse. And I think she maintained that sort of hoarding behavior throughout her life, based on the experiences she made as a child.
The most fascinating part to me is how not like 2008 at all this one will be.

I'm talking to every Boomer and gray beard I can - and even they can only go far so back. We have elements of every great financial, social, and demographic downfall in our midst right now, and a political class that seems desperate to start WW3. I cannot help but remember how a Japanese Boomer once described the situation leading to WW2 in Japan: "it was like everybody lost their mind for a very long time".

The very scary part is how utterly incapable current Western leaders are. Sure, occasionally a good law or policy sneaks through, but by and large the best way to emulate their actions is by asking "what would a saboteur do?". It has been flawless and continues to be as seen by this morning's US bill about making price increases in fuel illegal.

Then there's how utterly over-financialized our system has become and it's everywhere, from housing to sovereign debt. If anything, it's scarier because while the consumer balance sheet is not-that-awful, the sovereign ones that matter are catastrophic. That confluence of incompetent decision makers + desperation + big stages usually ends in catastrophe.

If we're exceedingly lucky this would be a 2008, but I suspect we're still years away from any sort of "bottom" in either finance, demographics, or societal well-being.

This is cute but it seems that expressions spanning multiple lines are not rendered

OK:

$$\|\vec{x} - \vec{p}_c\| = v(t_c-t_0)$$

--

NOT OK:

$$

\|\vec{x} - \vec{p}_c\|

= v(t_c-t_0)

Right, don't enter partner agreements with them, don't develop any kind of attachment to them, don't let them close, don't let them get too familiar with you (familiarity breeds their contempt) etc.

One foot out the door and don't let them close to anything that you would be upset with them breaking (they never apologize or take responsibility so just factor in how much bad they can do to you) and you'll be fine, they can even be an asset to the community and volunteer in exchange for kudos in the right circumstances.

The benefit of backpacking as a hobby is not only testing gear and learning how to use it, but also having a means/excuse to rotate through an emergency freeze-dried food supply or MREs and/or learn how to forage and hunt/prepare small game. MREs are reasonably cheap, high calorie, long lasting, and if you strip them down to essentials can be reasonable weight. They don’t last forever on the shelf, but again, camping/backpacking/kayaking can give you an excuse to cycle out the oldest stuff.
How did the Alpha ISA influence RISC-V, other than by its counterexample? Does RISC-V lack an integer divide?

In fact, the author fairly well excoriates all of the historic RISC architectures for being myopically designed.

Whether it comes back or not will depend, imo, on Bitcoin adhering to the 4 year cycle. So far, Bitcoin has gone up after every halving. Bitcoin leads and the market follows on the “inevitability” of Bitcoin going up after a halving.

But Bitcoin has also only existed in a relaxed regulatory regime and a monetary policy of low rates and cheap money. Now cheap money is off the table and the market has become too big to go unregulated.

If Bitcoin doesn’t go up in the next cycle, it might just break faith in the market and then who knows?

I mean, I went on a test drive of a Model Y and it happened to me before I knew about this issue (so it isn't like I was looking for it! it was just extremely noticeable and was one of my bigger complaints coming out of the test drive); and, last night, I was in a conversation with someone who owns a Tesla--someone who didn't even know about the radar being removed, much less that "phantom braking" was a thing people talked about a lot; and, critically, someone whom I had not talked to about the issue--and he was complaining about all the false positive collision warnings that would cause the car to jerk to a halt constantly (which made my subsequent explanation of the radar issue fun ;P)... you make it sound like this is some kind of solved problem, but it really isn't.

>Most cars that left the road were the oldest and heaviest.

Pure fantasy.

Old commuter cars and family haulers were what was removed. Stuff like 90s Suburbans and F150s got turned in at a much lower rate than things like Cavaliers and Tauruses.

Remember, times were not great back then, trucks and SUVs are useful vehicles. You're not gonna get a lot of people who have old ones trading them in on a Camry because that's a net downgrade in capability. And the SUV craze was new enough that the trucks and SUVs that had been bought frivolously were still mostly worth enough to be unaffected.

>To suggest that it took inventory off the road affecting today's markets doesn't hold water.

It definitely put the used car market into a state it could have not otherwise gotten into. Whether it ever "recovered" is a matter of opinion. Many people say the private party shitbox market has never been the same but I personally think that's rose tinted glasses.
