Huge fan of Eric. I've had several of his books on the shelf over the years. His old game engine (C4) was impressive and gave me something to aspire to. The architecture was well thought out. The math was on point. The performance was good.

I would echo other comments that these subjects have been written about ad nauseum. What we, the indy dev community, and engineers here would like to see is how to achieve Multiplayer scaling, solving state issues, sharing state. Network architectures beyond the lobby. Sound architectures beyond the 3D Listener with Doppler effect. Graphics architectures for polished rendering pipelines in PBR.

Math for games is great. Graphics for games is great. We need more meat though.

One of the books on my shelf right now is Game Engine Architecture 2nd ed by Jason Gregory (which is excellent, btw) that goes into the surface of this stuff.

I don't want a world where our only choices are Unity, Unreal, or some small engine. I don't want a world where one company owns the experience (Meta, VR). I don't want a world where every operating system has their own graphics framework (damn, MetalVulkanicDirectGL?).

I still have nothing but love for Eric and will probably buy these for the support. Sadly my interest in graphics programing died with Apple deprecating OpenGL and introducing Metal.

Let's not forget a huge problem in our modern world, and that is multiple, sovereign nation states willing to do anything and everything to get leverage against one another, including trying to infiltrate and hack every single piece of hardware and software produced. Gone are the days when human fail safes could catch each other. Now, any computer can be hacked so no amount of them will prevent attacks unlike a line of humans who have to vet the information.
what does this mean exactly? We can't raise the rates anymore without substantial structural shift in our economy? Such as the end of ridiculous earnings-to-price multiples?

CA is always weird about this stuff. I constantly see signs and warning labels basically telling me that my apartment and the containers that my groceries are packaged in are giving me cancer. If it's such a big deal why not go further than just having a sign? What is the common person supposed to do with this information? Just live outside? Is it just so that everyone can say "well, we let them know."?

And so the Objective is usefull. Example: Increase usage - so I look for weekly active users increase by x.

If I now set that as part of my salary target etc is a different question, I am not a fan off. But having a direction and looking ar various is a good solution.

As always if OKR don’t help you, don’t do them.
But still better to try to measure and improve to get a better outcome, than to blindly follow the CEO or other brainfarts…
Yeah, those things are for people, one of whom is the applicant in question.

If you want something, you will have to jump through hoops. I'm not saying the hoops are legitimate, but you will have to jump through them anyway. My comment was about the person, not the hoops.

If he really didn't want the job that much, then don't bother. If you do, jump through the fucking hoop. It honestly just seems like the person didn't want the job enough to invest in actually applying, but enough to bother publicly attacking a potential employer. What does this really say about the person's character?
They can also give you the occasional surprise by diverging from the real trajectory, ex. trains doing barrel rolls
Kind of a silly article. When the Fed sells enough bonds, interest rates go up. It doesn't matter if they sell mortgage-backed securities or something else.

Selling these does not effect the housing market any differently from the Fed selling some other bond.
For two years, Whidbey island has grappled with the long reach of Covid
The Fed is compounding its mistakes of not stopping QE last year by pulling forward QT in order to fight inflation that is outside of its control (Ukraine and China).
I was talking about this with a friend today.

I think if the Fed announced they were selling agency MBS as part of their QT program we would see a paradigm shift in markets. Like limit down kind of days. I think that's what the punch bowl being taken away truly looks like.

And if the S&P down 35% doesn't get inflation down, then I think that's probably next on the list.
Deno already automatically performs incremental type checking with a cache whenever possible. In most cases this is still _very_ slow though (double digit seconds).
The basic problem is that the average non-technical user lacks the knowledge that these policies exist, much less their deleterious effects. This is the problem with some of the valid points RMS has been raising for decades. Look at dragnet surveillance- ask the average person who Snowden is.

Unfortunately I don't see that changing, especially since you can see the same dynamic in (nearly?) every other industry. The industry engages in widespread practices, sometimes legitimized by corrupt laws via regulatory capture, that harm our society and everyone is too busy trying to put food on the table to notice.

It's expected to do things maximizing their revenue.

If you expect businesses to do differently, you've set your self up for a life of frustrations.

Yeah, it's not as ridiculous, for sure. But I think it'd be better to allow people to apply first for an initial screening and then ask for this stuff in pieces over the course of the process. It's really not right to front load so much work into an application, IMO.
No, for certain changes in Manifest V3 there is no way to polyfill the V2 API because the functionality is essentially removed/impossible to do now.

Also, other aspects (like switching from background pages to service workers) require a change in programming model (moving from simple variables to message passing/persistent storage) as your service worker can be killed off at any time.
Do you know the song "Simple kind of man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd? I think your dilemma is roughly what that song is about, but I also don't think you get to choose.

I've had a few cushy jobs that would have set me for life with good money and work life balance, and I quit them because I was bored af and felt like I was wasting my life. I don't regret it at all, but I'm definitely "behind" lots of my peers who have been happy to settle. If you can find fulfillment in a "boring" life, do it. To some extend it's miserable always looking for more. But it's also exciting and I personally wouldn't want to "settle" and would be miserable if I did. As I say, i don't think it's really a decision, it will depend on who you are and what you prioritize.

SMIC Reports 2022 First Quarter Results
And that events, as much as possible, are formulated as observations or state-changes rather than operations. Events in the form of "set x=1" or "y=0 was observed" are idempotent, where as "do this with that" is problematic.

In the framework of state-transitions, actions such as "price this with that" are implicit in the state matrix, and shouldn't be called from APIs. Rather, API calls should be used to produce reports which are print-outs of the "current state". Webhooks in this framework are attempted state-transitions. User interactions generate events, and requests for reports (for example invoices), but as little as possible in the form "do this with that".

My opinion currently is that there is little value in sharing code (libraries/frameworks) for these sorts of solutions because the code is trivial, application/language/domain-dependent, and coupled to everything else in the system.

But design patterns, templates, and concise examples are hugely valuable because they help illustrate the complexity and solutions up front.
The internet includes many components: semiconductors/electronics/chips, hardware, fiber optics, communication systems, networking, wireless, software, etc. There is a lot of work that must be done in different parts of this stack for this system to work.

Yet, the private sector focuses mostly on the software part, or services. I have rarely seen a start up on improving optical fiber or electronic chips. The public sector builds the infrastructure, often following decades of investment and work. People working on infrastructure either work for the government for pennies or, if they haven’t yet lost their jobs to outsourcing to developing countries, have difficulty finding employment. The profit goes to consumer companies focused on software or services; worse, these companies claim credit for the whole Internet.

Obviously CapEx will be large for a company with a product on infrastructure; there are monopolies; customers will be large operators, etc. Still, are there resources to better understand this issue? It always seemed to me a scam.

Also, will the situation change for “hardware”startups/companies?
Here is a concise way to make it work.

Stock Selloff Crunches SPAC Creators as They Race to Find Deals
Meanwhile, if you ran an 'rigorous image-generation Turing test' between dalle2 and randomly selected humans, the machine would be obvious because it's much higher quality than a randomly selected human would be able to produce, thereby failing the Turing test.

Aside from some corners (probably to be filled over the course of the next year or three), dalle2 is obviously outperforming almost all humans at its task. The cross-style ability is probably exceeding almost all human /artists/, who tend to specialize in a single style.

And some of the creativity criticisms (can only styles it's seen before) are basically true of all but the tiniest sliver of humanity, whose names we tend to remember.
DeepMind's AlphaFold capabilities to model protein-folding is going to accelerate this kind of discovery at a quantum leap order of magnitude. The featured article notes a custom CNN was used here - but AlphaFold is a game changer in synthetic biology in general even though the first goals were human medical application focused.

BBC Science in Action [1] interviewed Prof John McGeehan of the Centre for Enzyme Innovation at Portsmouth University working on Bacteria breaking down Plastic in landfills. He explained his workflow of maybe selecting one candidate very carefully and occasionally out of many due to the cost/time involved & how DeepMind gave him more results in a single weekend (for free) than he had expected to see over his entire reasearch career.

I remain skeptical that Apple's best GPU silicon will match nvidia's premiere products (either the top-end desktop card, or a server monster) for training.

It seems like this is ideal as an accelerator for already trained models; one can imagine Photoshop utilizing it for deep-learning based infill-painting.

I was doing training on battery with a laptop that had a 1080 and could do training; I have trained models on the airplane while totalyl unplugged and still had enough power to websurf afterwards.

The "shortage" of medical professionals - esp. doctors - I believe is a manufactured one. The medical associations and societies that control approvals operate in a manner similar to OPEC.

Shame your Ask HN did not get traction. Might be worth posting it again. It is a bit of a lottery on here.
Very much so - many of these words attributed to 1522 must have something to do with some publication they can attribute these words to, but surely they were in print usage before. Maybe this is a Gutenberg thing: https://www.merriam-webster.com/time-traveler/1521
> rates higher won't cool inflation except by raising prices - which is inflation

Rates rising drives prices down. Of the mortgages on their books. And of the homes collateralizing them.
Was there a general goal for each one or any sort of decision tree you used to decide on what to build next... for example, did you only work on things that could potentially be big, or huge, etc? Did you analyze the market size of each idea before starting, etc?

Pretty much, to me I think the problems facing the US economy entirely revolve around wealth inequality and require significant, painful policy measures to fix.

We took a crisis of bank and consumer balance sheets and relocated it to the government balance sheet by artificially generating liquidity backed by government liabilities. We didn't change many of the underlying mechanics (if you believe that the mbs rating schemes and bad mortgages were a symptom and not a cause which I do, we did fix those things)

The problems with a debt crisis at the sovereign level is there is only one can left to kick and that's the inflation can. The government says they don't want inflation but if it comes down to real solvency issues, they are going to give in to inflation, if the choice is between that and defaulting.

We basically have been playing a liquidity shuffling game since the first tech bubble.
Until 1976, I had never heard of Comté; they sold that cheese as Gruyére, even though it was made in France. In that year, the AOC regulations came fully into force, and it became illegal to sell cheese made in France as Gruyére.

There are many regional variations and qualities of Comté, too.

When De Gaulle asked "How can you govern a country with 200 different cheeses", he was underestimating badly.
I just checked. The real stuff from my local Costco cost me $13.99/lb. At that price, there's no good reason for me to buy anything else.
The essence of MVP I guess.

Now, back to the article's topic, the real question is: is there an off-the-shelf billing product available out there?
I’ve seen quite a few suggest that the “labor shortage” of this past year isn’t actually a shortage, but just people believing they’re worth more. Especially in the tech community; people are just more selective about how much BS they put up with in hiring.
When I was there, this was absolutely false.

Any fingerprints submitted as a background check were required by law to be deleted pretty quickly (within hours, iirc). Fingerprints submitted as part of an arrest were different.

Unfortunately, that may have changed as many gun control advocates have pushed to keep fingerprints from background checks on file indefinitely. I don't know if they've been successful.
According to the almighty wikipedia, The connection is correct but it turned out to be an accident. David Hilbert who coined spectral theory was surprised when it was found to be applicable to solving quantum mechanical spectra.

> it will incur big financial losses that reduce the funds the central bank returns to the Treasury...expect officials to face tough questions from Capitol Hill to explain why they've lost billions of dollars on behalf of the American people

This isn't how it works.

No doubt, some will try to spin it that way. But the Fed balance sheet's gains and losses are an accounting artefact. (It will always make money when lowering rates. It will always lose money when raising them. This is close to mathematical fact.) The Fed can't go broke. Its operating metrics are inflation and unemployment.

> the selling would likely push mortgage rates up further, at a time the housing industry is already starting to groan under the pressure of rising rates

This is the real issue. But it's why we have an independent central bank. Nobody likes rate rises. It's why economies with weak institutions wind up hyper inflating. (No, we're not.)

This is going to poison my minestrone.
Define inflation.

Assets have been artificially inflated for a very long time due to QE and low interest rates and the Fed's balance sheet.

If that were single handedly the reason for corn and lumber to get more expensive (general inflation) - we should've seen that a long time ago.

There's a lot going on - and it's hard to blame everything on the Fed. Rising inequality? Sure. General inflation? Not convinced.
I'm not sure I've everyone been on the user side of true "enterprise software" since I don't do business side work, but basically all the commercial-inspirex stuff is made with the same idea.

Feature rich, high level languages, high integration, opinionated workflow. Krita, FreeCAD, LibreOffice, Ardour, browsers, and VSCode mostly all seem to fully ignore anything UNIXy, and are amazing.

I don't really see software doing significant amounts of sucking these days. When I do, it's usually because it's subscription or cloud dependent, or because they left out something important for simplicity's sake.

Software basically runs the entire modern world. The expectations of computers are no longer to just "Compute". Everything is interactive, embedded systems are everywhere, and the stuff that really is "Computing" is often GPU accelerated or distributed.

Computers were their own separate thing in the UNIX era. They weren't fully replacements for any other device yet, outside of research. People used real filing cabinets and records or cassettes.

Large complex software enables huge classes of applications that would otherwise have enough friction that nobody would want them, you'd juat get a pen and paper rather than reading a man page to do what should be a 4 second task.

And when you have dozens or hundreds of them, not many people are going to want to learn them all, and actively go out of their way to stay current with them.

People complained CONSTANTLY about computers into the early 2000s. Somehow it was always a challenge, you always had to spend time figuring out how to get the computer to do what you wanted, and you might often wonder if it was worth using them at all.

UNIX users have a very different perspective from average users. They spend a lot of time dealing with text and processing data, and mostly like computers for academic reasons or for tasks that are completely impractical by hand. Not many of them seem to actually want an ubiquitous IoT type future with an app for anything.

With an appreciation of simplicity seems to come a love of the analog, because that's the ultimate UNIX philosophy, not using a computer at all.
Is this what you would do if you wanted certain classes of people to capitulate on their "American Dream" and turn it into "at least I can rent a house from Goldman Sachs" for some reason?
