If you're really good friends with a somewhat crude Australian, he might call you a cunt. It's a term of endearment.

But cunt might also be used as a serious insult.

Entirely depends on context.

There's also a creative arabic language insult, or variation on it, that can be translated as "my dick in your religion" or "a thousand dicks in your religion"

Most startups that Substack is competing with for funding (mostly SaaS services) get to keep 100% of their GMV. So using $9M as their revenue number is the right way to value them.

Cost of goods sold is always deducted before reporting revenue, otherwise companies like Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Amazon, Stripe, Square that pass through most of their receipts would all seem 10-100x bigger than they actually are.
Surprisingly, fuckfuck and shitshit seem relatively common. Could it be a parsing error?
As they say, C was designed for the PDP-11 architecture, and modern computers are forced to emulate it, because the tools to describe software (languages and OSes) which we have can't easily describe other architectures.

There were modern semi-successful attempts though, see PS3 / Cell architecture. It did not stick though.

I'd say that the modern heterodox architecture domain is GPUs, but we have one proprietary and successful interface for them (CUDA), and the open alternatives (openCL) are markedly weaker yet. And it's not even touching the OS abstractions.
A Ko-Fi button and a sign-up page on a blog could achieve that.

I suspect Substack writers are hoping to get elevated to the 'paid writer' status that big names like Andrew Sullivan have. That's the only network effect I can think of with their product.

How to Offer Unsolicited Advice Without Being Annoying
It's ill-advised.

We do this for repeat DUI offenders, but you need a car to get around most of America-- so even when suspended or unlicensed, people drive anyway.

At that that point they are both (a) uninsurable and (b) illegally operating, and now have more reasons to flee the scene of an accident than they do to remain. If it's some rich kid perpetrator, there won't even be a manslaughter charge if the victim dies.

All arbitrary license revocation does is make the roads twice as dangerous for everyone else.

I agree, they're pricey for hobbyists, and I can't speak for all but the I work with is well priced for independent shops. This is not exclusive to automotive though, professional tools in most industries are not priced for hobbyists -- it's easy to lose money on enterprise software if it's priced for hobbyists.

As with a lot of developer tools, the most adopted solutions are rarely the best tool for the job. But because everyone knows them, thats what continues to be used.
I like the distinctions you made and I think it gets at something that I think separates the 'good' part of hierarchies with the 'bad'. You can't have a big organization without some people whose job it is to think at higher levels of abstraction, or to manage communication channels You need the structure of an organization with managers and executives just so everyone isn't always talking to everyone else. But I think of my manager as an equal with unique expertise in understanding how my work fits in with the rest of the organization. It's not that I can't know those things, but thats one of his dedicated responsibilities. Likewise I don't always have to think about what to communicate to which exec/director. So there's structure there, but we each have a similar vote on the team. The one are where I'd question a value of anti-hierarchy is expediency in breaking ties. I tie breaker seems to be expressing power, not just adding structure or playing a role.

On a recent episode of the Odd Lots podcast [1], they discussed an interesting phenomenon where hot startups won’t want to raise when markets are down, even if funding is available, because they don’t want to do a down round. Doing a down round marks the company to market and shows up as a materialized loss in the VC’s fund, whereas they can keep the old valuation if they don’t raise.

Series A companies routinely get a 100x on revenue. It’s just how things have worked out in the past 5-8 years. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s the standard for a lot startups. Get to $1m in ARR, and then raise a $10m series A at a $100m valuation.

What Drop-In API Observability Looks Like, Pre-Launch and Post-Launch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell#Disposal

Concentrators are actively trying to put more of the suns energy (an thus UV degradation) on the cells than can be achieved by simply aiming the cell at the sun. It greatly depends on the type of cell being used, with many technologies having a shorter lifespan than polycrystalline and monocrystalline cells, but they don't last forever out in the sun. A panel boxed up in a warehouse isn't likely to have discernible cell degradation in 10 years. A panel flat on a roof having off-axis light will degrade more, one on a solar tracker will degrade more still, with the benefit of more power per unit time during that shortened lifespan. Add in concentrators and it will degrade more still. Much like anything else. I'm getting no sun indoors, get more standing in my yard, get even more standing near water where it reflects back at me and get sunburn (degradation) quicker in that environment.

Obviously it makes sense to aim the panels at the sun, and having a method to seasonally adjust the tilt can be done for very cheap. It can be made to last the life of the panels without repair, and it isn't an outrageous loss of performance if it was forgotten for a few weeks. Active sun trackers can potentially cost more than the panel itself, even more so when factoring in installation and setup. If it fails aiming to one extreme, there will be a substantial loss in power even compared to a panel with a fixed mount. That failure is likely to happen more than a couple times in the life of the panel, unless you replace parts before failure (even more cost), or add concentrators (more cost) to increase output and decrease panel life (more cost yet again). Unless there is a specific reason for all of that cost and complexity, such as space constraints or other factors, then it is cheaper to just lay out more panels. If a new technology comes out where they can stop UV degradation without a large impact on power output, or weight, or cost, then I'll be interested. For my use case I'd rather reduce my energy usage and lay panels in the sun with seasonal cleaning and adjustment.
Substack offered contracts to a tiny sliver of writers. Most journalists can look at the names they gave contracts to and could figure out that what those names provide is commentary, rather than journalism. Journalists usually prefer the latter.

The CCP at a minimum abets the shipment of fentanyl to the US. It aggressively collects personal information on every US citizen and resident. It relentlessly steals private and corporate intellectual property from the West and provides it to its own state-owned enterprises.

I'd like to call out the somewhat related problem of website rot. Meaning, the websites is online, it once worked perfectly, but becomes increasingly dysfunctional due to technical deprecations.

The soft obligation to use HTTPS these days has deranked old HTTP-only websites in search, making them hard to find. These websites are also "defaced" with browser warnings or some subresources may not load at all.

Embedded maps no longer work, since Google regularly breaks their API.

Facebook login or other FB plugins no longer work, since it needs a yearly checkup of your account and there's the new requirement of needing to have a privacy policy.

Those are just some examples of websites partially breaking through no fault of its creator, if you'd agree that the web should be backwards-compatible.
Trading is of a mutual benefit. Sea creatures do this as well with hygiene.

In case it wasn't obvious, Western influence (individualism and democracy) is an existential threat to the CCP -- This is why see western media censored and/or outright banned in China. Tiananmen Square Massacre is another example of CCP's response to western influence in China.
Perfect compression is equivalent to finding the Kolmogorov complexity of a string. That's incomputable and so perfect compression is beyond any algorithm, even a "generally intelligent" algorithm. Generality in compression might increase an algorithms effectiveness but there's no proof this generality is equivalent to generality in dealing with the world humans deal with.

Snapchat Launches Subscription Tier with Access to New Features
> Substack was offering guaranteed contracts to writers worth more than their subscription revenue could justify

That isn't what I read. Their big payments (which weren't structured as advances but as guarantees for which writers had to forgo X months of subscription revenue) to big name writers ended up being lower than the standard author cut of the subscriptions those writers generated. So much so that this might account for a significant part of the $9MM.
> Only social inertia slows it. Distraction adds to inertia.

I don't buy the armchair social psychology here. People think they are much, much better at predicting how the population will react to things than they actually are. This led to a lot of terrible decisions during the pandemic, like telling people masks don't work on the baseless folk theory that wearing masks would cause people to take more risks. That theory, by the way, was very similar to the one you're advancing with such certitude.

We are moving too slowly to avert potentially catastrophic climate change. The armchair theory that, somehow, not buying more time with geoengineering will somehow... I don't know, somehow cause people to be more focused and move faster?... is barely believable even as a folk theory, but on top of that, is very clearly not coming to pass. Look around at what's happening in the world.

We need to get real.

I agree that the ratio is crazy. What if it's still a "content acquisition" phase and only when their sub list reaches some huge N, they will try to figure out to get more money out of it? Or a LOT MORE depending on how shady they are willing to go. I guess, for creators it will be quite painful to migrate.

Definitely a crazy multiplier, but not the craziest on the market given other parameters.
Checklists are both good and bad depending on how you look at it. They allow you to focus more on the task at hand as you are not focusing on the mulitple tasks required for you to do. Many productivity gurus speak about the reasons of success when it comes to checklists. Psychologically the main reason is that your brain delivers a boost of dopamine when you complete a task. Now as anything can, you can become addicted to this dopamine and hence when you complete a task without crossing something off of your checklist you won't feel as good as you would with one. Is it a serious addiction? Definitely not, but it is something to consider.

Heisenbugs: The most elusive bug. How to capture them with Perfect Replayability
I read a comment the other day that referred to oversized american SUVs as wankpanzers. Love it.
is there an example of machine code that doesn't make use of a linear contiguous call stack?

what would the alternative be? compute the size of all the stack frames a-priori in the compiler and then spray them all over main memory and then maintain a linear contiguous list of addresses? doesn't the linear contiguous nature of function call stacks in machine code preserve locality in order to make more efficient use of caches? or would the caches have to become smarter in order to know to preserve "nearby" stack frames when possible?

also, why not just make the addresses wider and put the pid in the high bits? they're already doing this masking stuff for the security descriptors, why not just throw the pid in there as well and be done with it?
The USP would be their integrity. The vast majority of cloned sites would be looking to make a quick buck and would sell out their creators in a second. If Substack can prove they understand which side their bread is buttered and show some loyalty to their creators and not get too greedy, then I feel like it could be quite sticky. Of course they are likely too deep into the VC money to pull it off, but one can always hope!

A lot of the customization is in the peripherals. ARM (AFAIK) really only specifies the processor, modern devices have lots of other on-board signals.

The instruction set really only defines how to run mathematical operations on the data on its bus, what to write to registers, and what instructions should load and store memory to various pages on the memory map.

Licensors add peripherals to do things that the instruction set doesn't define, like how to toggle an output pin from low to high. You use the instruction set to set a bit in a particular location in memory, and that turns on an LED attached to that pin - or they make a handy peripheral that lets you write to a word, because setting one bit in a 32-bit memory value is a read-modify-write 3-step operation and many of their devices have thousands of bytes of storage and RAM in an address space with billions of memory locations. They add I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet, USB, EEPROM, Flash, SRAM, video, etc. etc. etc. to make useful systems on chip - the processor is only one small part of that equation.
