The original air cooled Beetle was super simple to work on. Once you had done it a few times, you could pull the engine, rebuild it, and reinstall it in an afternoon (assuming you had parts already on hand).
> She included ingenious tips like how to cut onions without crying, telling cooks to “take a wooden kitchen match, light it, blow it out, and hold it between your teeth while slicing the onions.”

So that's where I got that! I've been doing that forever but I didn't know where it came from. It works.
That feels like fairly expected overhead for managing a bunch of threads?

I mean, you could potentially push another 2x speedup out of it, but you’re already at 10000x, is that really necessary?
I don't see the comparison holding water. The difference is between a tool that servers a purpose and reading or watching something is that sometimes I just need the tool to get out of my way. The added depth available takes up time and mental resources to learn, potentially far in excess of how regularly I use the tool or how critically I need that functionality.

This is especially true where there's a selection of tools that all work within a similar "market" space for X functionality - some are going to be less complex, some more intuitive for me personally, some fulfill a one-off need and their other functionality is duplicated by another system I know much better (and have put the time into learning).

That shouldn't take away from your enjoyment of reading through minutiae of various systems, but you can't reasonably expect a lot of people to match your enthusiasm for doing so.

I dunno if this is what gp meant to say but didn't convey properly, but the average per year is pretty irrelevant once you leave the subtropics. You need enough power for the lowest level of light part of the year, which is also the highest total energy use part of the year (much of that is achieved through individual home heating with burning fuel, but electrification is necessary to have any hope of even stalling climate trends).
Yes, wrong comment, sorry! Thanks for the link, it was interesting
Traditional enterprise companies are agglomerations of IT systems from a sprawling network of acquisitions, subsidiaries, and partners. They collect fad languages, architectures, and proprietary ecosystems from across decades of computing history. And then try to somehow make them all play with each other.

At least in our world we have the source code to all the services. They have explicit and intentional APIs. They're constructed from a small set of frameworks and speak an even smaller number of protocols. Our enterprise brothers have none of that. Screen scraping, retrofitting TCP/IP stacks onto things that never had them, patching binaries whose source is long gone, etc.

Agreed 100%. My core workflow is "snap a picture, draw on it." I deal with hardware, and the bandwidth with which this lets me get physical information into the computer is so far beyond any Markdown-based workflow that I can't go back. I suspect this result would hold for many non-software professions.

For now, I've settled on GoodNotes because it's good enough at PDF Backup, OCR Search, and drawing. I have given solid tries to Evernote, ZoomNotes, Concepts, and Notion, and they each are amazingly better than GoodNotes in at least one major respect, sometimes multiple, but none of them are good enough on those zero-compromise requirements and GoodNotes is. FWIW.

EDIT: Oh, while I'm flamebaiting, I also use my ipad camera to take pictures of screens. Life is too short to schlep screenshots between computers, especially the ancient ones that run scientific equipment (lots of 68000, XP on some recent ones). Printer emulators and java applets can get bent. Runs everywhere, my ass. Moore's Law has given us gigahertz and megapixels, and if I can use them to eliminate painful asinine pointless busywork that's my god-given right and nobody is going to convince me otherwise. Sometimes I even use my ipad camera to take a screenshot of something on my PC and toss it into the mix. Sue me.

Okay, but the proportion of overhead is what matters here.

If you have a CPU or memory size bottleneck and a parallelizable workload, it makes plenty of sense to split the work across multiple machines and coordinate them over the network. If your job was going to take 20 minutes for 1 machine to do and you can fan it out to 100 machines and accomplish the same in 12 seconds per machine plus an extra fraction of a second in communication overhead, that’s a huge win in total latency. The overhead doesn’t matter.

If you have a trivial workload that can be handled quickly on one machine, but you unnecessarily add extra network hops and drop your potential throughput by 100x, then it’s a huge loss.

A ping server that makes a bunch of international RPC calls before replying is the worst case scenario for overhead.

That's great to know. While I have you here, could you just clear one thing up for me?

On your home page, you say you are not a bank. From what I can tell, you seem to be a wrapper around a bank(s) (Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust®). Does that mean signing up with you gives me an account with those banks, or do I still have to sign up with those banks independently in order to use your service?

I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but it isn't apparent to me from a quick scan of your website.

EDIT: Last question... if your customers aren't required to establish a direct relationship with your underlying banks, how do you handle KYC? Would I need to fly to the US to get this started, or would a zoom session plus all the relevant ID's be enough?

Let us not fall into the same trap of spewing absolutist statements, and guarantees to feed the outrage machine to bring out more outrage. Like I said before there is a problem with that 100% certainty figure and blanket generalising on all NFTs that Mr Gates is saying.

Not all NFTs are useless and ridiculous JPEGs. ENS domains are NFTs and have a use case in many applications, more than JPEG NFTs do. So, I'm afraid that the 100% figure really is a trap. Did all dotcom startups get destroyed by the dotcom crash? No. The remaining 10% of them survived and exist today whilst the 90% of useless ones disappeared.

Really, the only absolute is: There are no absolutes. Rather I would say 90% of them are going to get wiped out, with the remaining 10% like ENS still surviving and having a valid use case.

Laying out all my expenses would be like a meme, it's like I'm asking someone to feel bad for me for being privileged. I'm not. I'm also not spending on an extravagant lifestyle, I rent a small 1000sq foot house, I have a family, one paid off car and one car I have a loan on. I don't really look at prices at the grocery and I buy organic food and decent coffee that I grind and brew myself, but the idea of say, having a sports car to drive around with the top off, designer clothes, or even eating at fancy restaurants (or any restaurant more than once a week) sounds nuts to me. I'm not spending money on avocado toast or whatever the meme is. I'm trying to save to be able to buy a modest home where I live, and I can't. It's out of reach. Don't feel bad for me, I could move 1.5 hours away and live a super comfortable life, but the commute would of course take me away from my family.

Microsoft is still doing this anti-competitive things with web browsers today. Every so often, my Windows 10 machine switches back to Edge, or adds Edge back to the task bar, or prompts me to try out Edge, "the recommended browser for Windows".

Yes, it's worth it! Fish is especially great for users who have found learning bash troublesome or uninviting. It's simpler and easier to learn, and plus it has very pleasant defaults and builtins. If you get started with Fish, you're much more likely to learn advanced functionality because the journey is more enjoyable than with bash.

Looking at your comment the disconnect seems to be at the division step: when performing a division such as 226/9, look up or calculate the multiplicative inverse for 9 (you can use the table at https://curves.ulfheim.net/inverse61.html), which is 34, and multiply by that instead. This is explained at https://curves.ulfheim.net/#division-multiplicative-inverse

In F61, 226/9 = 226*34 = 7684 % 61 = 59.

In F61, 2888/27 = 2888*52 = 150176 % 61 = 55.

(you can also proactively reduce those numerators and calculate with some smaller numbers):

(226%61)/9 => 43/9

(2888%61)/27 => 21/27

I have no doubt long covid is a real thing that legitimately affects a number of people. My own sister still hasn't regained her sense of smell and taste fully, months after otherwise recovering from covid.

But it's not like our society is devoid of hypochondriacs either, and I find this situation in particular especially problematic when it comes to them. Normally we seem to just ignore hypochondriacs as if they don't exist. But when a pandemic happens, and there's this airborne novel virus pretty much everyone is going to catch eventually, wouldn't we predict the existing hypochondriacs in the population would report stuff resembling long covid?

The signal:noise ratio must be horrible, what a mess.
If it were nukes, we would know. This thing released way way way more energy than all of our nukes, on all sides, going off at once. But without radioactives, and with lots and lots of platinum.

This is one of the reasons it's good (where possible) to have co-ownership of things like checking accounts. Though my mother is primary owner of her bank account, my sister and I can write checks, move money around as needed without waiting for any permission. My wife had the same arrangement with her father before he died, and it was a life-saver (so to speak).

As far as assets in the estate, the job of the executor is to preserve, as far as possible, the value of the assets at the time of death until they can be disbursed. That means, for example, don't take any intentional action to increase the value of the assets after the date of death, such as moving checking accounts higher yielding to certificates of deposit, etc.

Can't help but laugh at your comment. Mathematics is an informal social activity where humans try to convince other humans that certain abstract structures have certain properties. Having to turn those proofs into formal machine checked proofs makes a huge difference. Principia Mathematica was a big step forward and directly leading to Type Theory. It didn't succeed in what the authors tried to accomplish, but it very much had a massive impact on the world of mathematics. That's why we both know about it and discuss it today.

Thank you for the response. Would this pattern be appropriate for something like ML inference if I’m looking for sub 200ms response time and the results objects are small? The polling interval would need to be very short, and would that become an issue?

If only one party wants something, the other party will loudly and thoroughly catalogue everything wrong with the idea and throw extra at it to see if the smear sticks. There'll generally be loud warnings of a problem.

If they are cooperating, that means it might be something really nasty that, eg, lobby money from the military-industrialists supports.

The incontrovertible evidence is worldwide platinum concentration spikes, coupled with soot from continent-spanning conflagrations, without corresponding sulfur fluctuations. Read the linked paper.

The people calling it cranky have been caught doing all kinds of shenanigans, such as calling melt glass spherules "pollen" without ever looking at any with an electron microscope, and sampling cores at the wrong places, carefully straddling the actual date.

The Java and Python runtimes, which have much better test coverage and higher correctness standards than most enteprise applications, shipped a broken sort method for decades because it was a few percent faster. Never mind that for some inputs the returned value wouldn't actually be sorted.

As an industry we're not qualified to even start caring about performance when our record on correctness is so abysmal. If you have a bug then your worst-case runtime is infinity, and so far almost all nontrivial programs have bugs.

I agree that the real problem is monopolies and not private ownership per se, but I wouldn't call it "local protectionism" so much as a complete lack of anti-trust enforcement allowing a small group of giant corporations to form a de facto cartel that is able to price fix and carve up their own regional monopolies as unspoken gentlemen's agreements.

The monopolies are regional, but the players holding those local monopolies (and doing all sorts of lobbying to force out municipal ISP competition, etc) are a very small set of well known companies.
