At Google's size this means nothing. The protobuf and gRPC developers don't even always align well, let alone with an entire language ecosystem.

By the same token, C#'s excellent gRPC performance is the result of MS dumping a chunk of resources into gRPC/PB optimization most recently. For Google it's cheaper to buy 2x as many nodes as it is to make Go gRPC 2x faster.
It's not a flaw, it just means your target is bigger businesses (hence why he needed sales instead of marketing)
What this shows us is that GPT-3 doesn't really understand what it is talking about and is just a decently good bullshitter. To be frank, I've met humans with the same quality of always speaking with confidence about things they have no understanding of. Possibly this is a result of how the system is constructed, GPT-3 being forced to answer but not able to express uncertainty, for instance. At any rate I do not believe it is sufficient evidence that GPT-3 is not, in some way, conscious.
If you are in a field “driven by” closed journals, you are highly unlikely to make career progress if you stay principled as funding, promotions, and so on will depend on publishing where others perceive the work as being good. Maybe if you are an utter genius that brings about a revolution you would not, but how likely is that?

However, I do not expect that the audience that matters will not have access to your work in some way, even without open access. If your university is a good one, they will have subscriptions. Plus, there will be networks of researchers illegally passing around documents. Rather, closed access hurts researchers at less privileged institutions and the general public, as they are unlikely to gain access.

Work culture can mean a couple of things though. Building and delivering the M1 was probably a great experience. Maybe like the hardware equivalent of greenfield development. The M1 is out, and now it's about continual refinements. The people who love going from 0->1 are not always the same people who enjoy going from 1->100.

And while Apple isn't the max payer in SV, I'm sure they pay fine compared to other big tech. The issue is, chips are big right now and no existing big tech can compete compensation wise with shares in a growth chip startup. With VC drying up, I expect this to change back in Apple (and other big techs) favor.

Ok, I guess I misunderstood your comment:

>If all of this gets classified as general partnerships

to literally mean all as opposed to only those DAOs that in fact are General Partnerships.

Either way, it’s nothing new in law nor surprising. I’m not saying their isn’t legal risk or potential liability issues, but it’s certainly not something A16Z isn’t aware of, they have written about the legal issues pertaining to DAOs extensively, just one example: https://a16zcrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/dao-legal-...

For some historical perspective, this is what the Wikimedia Foundation VP of Engineering and Product Development said about Wikipedia's money needs in 2013, less than 10 years ago:

https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2013-March...

"WMF has operated in the past without staffing and with very minimal
staffing, so clearly it's _possible_ to host a high traffic website on
an absolute shoestring. But I would argue that an endowment, to
actually be worthwhile, should aim for a significantly higher base
level of minimal annual operating expenses, more in the order of
magnitude of $10M+/year, to ensure not only bare survival, but actual
sustainability of Wikimedia's mission."

$10M+/year! Even if you double that to $20M/year, the Wikimedia Foundation has about twenty times that in the bank today, and factoring in the interest this money earns, as well as tens of millions in planned gifts already lined up (people leaving them money in their wills), they could basically run Wikipedia in perpetuity without ever asking for another penny.

Instead, they now have an official revenue target of nearly $150 million (and are on course to exceed that by tens of millions, as usual).

I can't recall a single tool that covers all of the design process, there are just too many industries involved.

As for UI/UX, give Figma a try. It's powerful, supports all kinds of design work (workshops, sketching, prototypes, presentations) and has a generous free plan.
Sorry, this is nonsensically mixed up. Even if it reallocs in place, which it may be free to do, the language semantics still guarantee only one observer gets that extended space. Otherwise you would need to worry about this even when dealing with immutable structures like concatenating strings.

That's a fairly normal approach, yes [1]. It's not so painstaking. There are parser generators other than lex and yacc that do a better job, but making most generators produce good errors and handle your context-sensitive tokenisation is more effort overall than making an equivalent hand-written parser (be it near-Pratt, PEG, general recursive descent or anything else).

A couple of genuine questions that occur to me whenever these Pi-athons come up:

1: Is there any point to it, outside of a "my computer is bigger than your computer" pissing contest?

2: Given Pi is supposedly completely irregular ad infinitum, are the provided numbers verifiable in any way, without re-calculating it yourself?

3; If not, then can I just take the the latest published figures and add half a dozen random digits of my own on the end, say I've worked out Pi to a trillion-and-six decimal places --and no-one can prove me wrong, without working it out themselves, to a trillion-and-seven?
You could spend less than 18 x AWS cost, because AWS compute is so expensive, depending what hosting you chose. A self owned DC is isn't the best option for most. You might also skip the overkill (for most cases) AZ redundancy because it wasn't pushed on you. You might even go with a much more managed platform, like
the Heroku like ones. Depends on what you build and for who.

I'm not knocking IaC, but unnecessarily huge amounts of IaC to manage unnecessarily complex AWS service infra after you can't afford the monolith + db model and get roped to dynamodb, lambda@edge, API gateway, step functions, etc all requiring IAM roles, security groups, observability tooling, cicd & version control complexity, config services etc etc all the downsides you read about in microservice horror stories. And you can't even ssh in and strace or tcpdump the stuff like you could with your own microservices, they're black boxes.

I also don't want separate sys admins, at least the bad kind you describe. But having your own servers, or knowing what they cost, doesn't mean you would.
Well, the whole post was written by one or more faceless individuals [1], so rather than allow my emotions lead me to make premature judgement in the face of incomplete information, I decided it was best to suspend judgement [2] by treating the claims made as what they truly are: allegations.

Premature judgement is what is causing a lot of commenters to elevate these anonymous claims to the level of facts, rather than wait until an interested party (like an external investigator commissioned by the board of directors, or a regulator like SEC) is able to substantiate any or all of the claims.

I don't work for Coinbase, so I am in no position to speak on whether the CEO is at fault or not. Any attempt to do so as an outsider with limited information would be pure speculation.

Growing up in northern New England, a lot of mall walkers chose it not because we have too many freeways or lack bike paths, hiking areas, or nature trails, but because walking outdoors can be unpleasant in the dark, frigid, snowy, and often-slippery depths of winter. An icy path may not be a huge deal for someone my age, but the risks are greater for an older person falling from a standing height (e.g.: one in three adults age 50+ dies within 12 months of getting a hip fracture).

I imagine people in very hot climates appreciate being able to exercise in air conditioning, and you can also schedule it with others (say, every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am) regardless of inclement weather. But I would guess a lot of it has been supplanted by going to the gym (there are a lot more gyms, at least around here, than there were a couple decades ago).

I agree about Texas. When I stayed a night in Amarillo I was astounded not only by the fact that everyone there drives a giant tank, but that there weren't any sidewalks, even though my hotel was within walkable distance of various stores, etc.
Hard disagree. The only thing bad here is Safari's engine.

Okay, let me give you an example. One of many I have. I run a website. I have many gigabytes of audio files. I'd like to 1) not have to store multiple versions of the same files, and 2) I'd like to encode them using the most efficient codec available. This means I'd like to use Opus. Every browser supports it since *6 years* ago.... except Safari.

Okay, they technically support it, but only in their own special snowflake container - `.caf`. So what I did recently - I wrote an on-the-fly demuxer which remuxes the standard Ogg container in which Opus audio comes in into `.caf` files on the fly. Yay, it works! Audio now plays on Safari! A single guy did something in one evening that a trillion dollar corporation can't do in 6 years. (Okay, fine, doing it on their side would probably take more effort and probably take, like, a week. But still.)

....except a new iOS update comes, and.... oops, users report that the audio stopped working?! Apple broke it, because of course they did; they only pretend to support Opus, otherwise they'd just properly support it like everyone else.

But I'm stubborn. I tried to find a workaround and... I did. The trick was to decode the `.caf` file through `AudioContext::decodeAudioData`, remux it to `.wav` in JavaScript and then play it. Yay! Audio now works in Safari again!

....except I'm already looking forward when they break something else in the next update.

There are many other issues I have or had with Safari, and... I just hate it with a burning passion. I never have issues with Firefox nor Chrome, but I always have to add weird workarounds for Safari bugs. I know the "intended" way of alleviating this pain is to just give in and let Apple extort 30% of my income and write a native app, but that's just not an option for me. I don't have the resources to write a native app nor the will to be subject to Apple's bullying.

I disagree, for example pacman will happily break your system if you have any third party packages or don't use it exactly as prescribed. Not all Linux package managers are perfect or even that good.
It is at least excusable in case of a low-level language meant in part for embedded/kernel development, etc.
Gotta love it when content from 2020 on a claim like this ends up on front page.
Maybe I misunderstood you, but I thought your point was that it's okay if maintaining the bitcoin network is very expensive because securing the GDP is even more expensive, which is a flawed argument, because bitcoin doesn't remove the need for securing the GDP. Bitcoin's performance needs to be evaluated according to how it compares to other monetary systems in terms of cost-effectiveness, not against the cost of securing GDP.

Regarding the question of bitcoin's utility as money. The defining trait of money is that it's used widely as medium of exchange, not that it holds value. An asset has to hold value reasonably well, for it to be able to be used as money, but holding value is not what makes an asset money. Some assets depreciate quickly and don't hold value, but most don't, most assets do store value and yet are not money. Is bitcoin a good store of value? No, it isn't, because a good store of value not only has to hold value over long periods, it also needs to have low volatility. Using a high volatility asset such as bitcoin as a store of value, means there's a big chance you may forced to sell it at times when its market price is well below your purchase price.

Lastly, I don't know what "bitcoin's velocity" is. As far as I know, the velocity of money is a concept from the Quantity Theory of Money. The basic assumption that this theory makes is that GDP is sold and paid for with money. If you wanted to apply QTM to bitcoin, first you'd need to locate a country that sells its entire GDP in bitcoin, and only then you could calculate bitcoin's velocity, in principle. This velocity would be specific to this country. Then again, I'm not aware that such a country exist, so I don't know what you mean by bitcoin's velocity or why it is relevant to this conversation.

Scams are much easier to pull off if the victims are desperate and I think it’s the golden age of scamming because people have gotten much more desperate as the value of labour has been rapidly dropping compared to capital.

Every day they see value of housing, stocks and cryptos skyrocketing while their wage remains stagnant. They don’t believe they could ever catch up and they feel obliged take riskier and stupid bets like stable coins.

It also doesn’t help that they don’t trust sensible financial advice because those advocate investing in the old system that had failed them. Hence the “haters gonna hate” attitudes from some crypto dudes.
The commenter didn't explain Canadian mortgages well I think. They aren't really balloon payments. At the end of the 5 year term I'm not obligated to make a giant payment, it's just my interest rate automatically converts to the banks posted rate for a open floating mortgage. At that time I'm free to negotiate a new rate, or take my contract to another lender. If I got the same rate every 5 years the payment schedule would be the same as a 25 year fixed mortgage in the US at the same rate.

But that is in technical systems. More or less it’s an equivalent of defending your home, or using password auth: there are humans motivated to increase their well-being at your expense (at the expense of the environment, and so on).

This tech seems often to be pushed onto human society as a whole, though. It’s like giving up on solving the underlying issues that give humans the above-mentioned motivation to betray each other, and instead baking into the fabric society an assumption that it’s human nature to be this way.

You'd think so, but parts of England institute a "hosepipe ban" in dryer summers to reduce water usage - effectively saying "you can't water your garden or clean your car for 1 month" or something. I imagine they're just being overly cautious though because, as you said, it does rain pretty frequently in the UK overall.
As much as arduino helped me in understanding electronics and building products, the forum has more or less been very discouraging. Stackoverflow and Instructables were far more helpful to learn and implement. Very often you see arrogance in people commenting against an honest query. For a post like "How do I use x to do y....?" , many would start with "Why do you need to do x?" Or even worse "Why do you need to do y?"

It would easily put off enthusiasts. Many I know just left Arduino and started using NodeMCU platform.
My thoughts are it doesn’t even matter that much. Apple is not selling me a CPU - they’re selling me a laptop. Yeah it’s a critical piece but Apple is all about your overall outcome.

If they were a CPU “arms dealer” like Intel or AMD it’d matter more I think.
Couldn't this be done using git branches? A fork seems like a way to unnecessarily complicate the process of eventually merging things.

I guess if the goal is strictly learning and experimenting, forking makes sense. But that requires an expectation from the start that the project will be scrapped at some point. That each version exists as an exercise and will be discarded afterwards. And that can be a great way to learn; I don't mean to sound like I'm discouraging the idea.

But if there's any intention or hope of making something bigger than the sum of its parts, utilizing it yourself in the future or intending to provide it to others, a flow where you can keep things separate but also bring them together with ease seems more optimal. But I guess learning that will be a forked experience its own right.
I'm also using something very stable, since years and years (so long I don't remember): I'm using the tiling "Awesome VM". 13 virtual desktops. One (keyboard) modifier assigned only to the WM and not anything else. I'm always putting my regular apps on the same virtual desktops: work email on virtual desktop '1', throwaway browser on '9', Emacs on '3', shitloads of xterms and cpu/disk/network monitors and whatnots on '5', etc.

It's minimal in its appareance: one-pixel border around windows, a tiny "useless gap" between windows (but not near the monitor's physical borders for the monitor's physical borders do, IMO, act as the "gap").

Been a happy camper since years.
Even without considering the social benefits of trust, from an economic perspective, trust is often enormously, ridiculously efficient compared to distrust. If I need to borrow my neighbor's weed whacker, I don't need to determine its value (plus interest and opportunity cost) and write up a contract and register collateral on the world's slowest and least efficient database, I can just say, hey, mind if I borrow this? Trust and reputation are force multipliers.

It depends on what point in your life you are. I was at one point single and fully committed to work. I worked sometimes even 12 hours per day, every day, pulling in weekends too and I had a payoff for that. I’m single now too, but I’m not doing that. I’m focusing on dating. Different people, at different times have different priorities. It’s not any one individual thing that’s bad, it’s elevating one above the rest.

That's pretty cool. I wish linux had such abilities. I have a similar app-specific launcher to call scripts, but the best I can use are keys, so I just fire ctrl-c or such, wait some seconds and have something useable in a separate dialog. Such an integrated tooltip seems to be far better than this.

Thinking about, MacOS has a long history of well integrated automation, with AppleScript, external callable function per window/app and they even had automator at some point. Not sure what happened to it. Linux had something similar with KDE and dcop, but it died at some point.
I’m not trying to speak for everyone. I’m saying that I personally can absolutely see myself doing it in these situations. Not trying to imply anything about anyone else.

One omitted hard part is to accurately determine caffeine content which can fluctuate widely depending on the beans, roasting, brewing method, water temperature ...
E.g. 100% robusta coffee can be nearly double in caffeine than 100% arabica coffee.[0]

Another important thing also missing in this context is the individual "activity" of the CYP1A2 enzyme which helps to metabolize caffeine (so called "fast" or "slow metabolizer"); it is dependent on genetics and environmental factors. [1] E.g. a regular smoker breaks down caffeine a lot faster.
