Our culture is in love with bullshitting. If you can bullshit to get what you want (ostensibly), then you're the man. Notice how getting away with things is glorified. It's like you managed to hack the Matrix or steal the cookie from the cookie jar your mommy didn't want you to touch. It's the childish satisfaction that you're hot shit because you got past the grown ups.

Of course, you can get away with a lot of bad things. The question is: should you do such things? The answer is: no. No one of any sense of dignity will lie, cheat, steal, or bullshit. No one who know how harmful it is to themselves to do such things will do them. It is beneath them and their love themselves too much to want to harm themselves. It's degrading. Wine won through illicit means tastes like urine anyway, if it tastes like anything at all. It's like the devil has offered you a glass of Chateau Lafite under the condition that you hand him your taste buds, or that you let him take a dump in it first.

Give a shit about things worth giving a shit to the degree that they are worthy of being given a shit about. Don't worry about approval from others. Virtue is its own reward. Don't whine. Don't be envious.

I do not depend on my writings in any way.

I also have a pseudonymous Less Wrong account where I say unconventional, unpopular things. See, I don't earn money OR make a name.

I also write notes when I need- to Simplenote and Google Docs, and share the links with the people I see fit.

I don't measure anything serious or important to me regarding views or reach. They are just a nice bonus.

I wouldn’t even have that if not for Medium.

FB is where I can get the best reach. But I don't like the distribution of people there, and post seldomly with extremely curated visibility list of "friends". I am happy with 10 likes.

The title (which is original to bloomberg) is actually a little odd but telling. The piece is a not too bad explanation of how NBER considers things and discusses how they see things currently. In a less flame-y period, this would almost be a PSA or "the more you know."

On the "Recession" word, they point out a few contra-indicators of a recession and add this quote:

What Bloomberg Economics Says...

“The committee’s current methodology is sound. Q1’s contraction is mainly due to strong imports (due to strong demand) after slowdown inventory building due to combination of supply bottlenecks and gangbuster inventory building in Q4 last year. It’s hard to interpret that as a weakness-driven contraction.”

-- Anna Wong, chief US economist

Having said that, economics is the profession of "on the other hand" since it deals with large aggregates of human activity and humans are complex and form complicated structures. There would always be bright spots to point at against a thing. I'm personally more on the lookout for things like large tranches of debt suddenly being defaulted upon and forcing downward revisions. So far, I haven't seen that.
Growing up on a farm we were constantly shooting squirrels out of fruit trees and off of bird feeders. It was amazing to me how they were barely concerned with gunfire and not at all bothered by the dead bodies of other squirrels. There were a few days I probably shot 5-6 of them all in the same place in the span of just a few hours.

I can only repeat my initial statement:

> Multi-dimensional RS codes are an easy way to get to an absurdly huge size for real.

"Multi-dimensional" may mean 3,4,..,10 dimensions. "Absurdly huge" means a petabyte and beyond. "For real" means practical recovery of swaths of lost or damaged data.
"Fountain LDPC codes" are essentially one-dimensional. Extending them to the ability of recovering an annihilated data center would make them impractical. Making them multi-dimensional would make them inferior to RS (which is still MDS in every single dimension).

Conceptually great idea, but I think setting the cap of top employee compensation as a multiplier of the lowest paid employee is a better start, as well as requiring full benefits for any employee rather than a minimum. (You will have to tweak other things, and make sure to crack down on wage theft for overtime, etc, but this will remove the disincentive to hiring full time.)

It isn't so much that we want to discourage investment in food supply and other service sectors but rather to increase the living conditions of those working in them.

It will mean increased labor costs, decreased stock market profits, and a bit of inflation. I argue that for humane labor practices, this is an acceptable compromise for a civilized society.

But someone between you and the VP on the org chart didn't.

Were they bitter about the situation where it seemed like you went over their head? Were there repercussions from that?

I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but you make it sound like the decision was unambiguous - you are being forced to use some tech that's slowing you down, and you know of a way to speed things up. Why did that need a VP to be approved?

I'm not bringing this up to blame you - but I also want to make sure anyone reading this doesn't feel like their only action in a situation like this is to wait for a VP to come in, hear all their complaints, and magically solve their problems. In another situation, your exact actions would have led to no change, and a ruined relationship with a manager who would have vindictively punished you by going outside the reporting chain.

I dislike the metaphor of luck. None of this is luck. All of this work is taking common opportunities and making them great.

Does it increase your chance of being “lucky”? No, it increases your chance of being visible. Visibility is not luck. You’re not lucky, you are more visible.

You are seizing the opportunity many others do not by building in public. Many do not because people online can suck and tear you down. But if you can get over that, you are seizing the opportunity, not being lucky.

Any two entities are the same, if you define equivalence in such a way that it ignores all their differences.

"ABC" and "Abc" are the same, if we ignore case, and so it goes.

You can't fix it with absolute equivalence, because absolute equivalence requires that some entity A is only equal to that same entity A, and no other entity; that is then inapplicable if we want to use equivalences for division into classes that have more than one member.

It has been already admitted that the Atlantic is a questionable news source.

Obviously they are just as hungry as rats for your clicks onto their ads so they can continue to write up more nonsense like this article. Perhaps there's not enough rats subscribing to the Atlantic today?

So it doesn't surprise me to see the comments to this article here and that Atlantic is now turning their attention to doing hit-pieces on squirrels? Oh dear.

It really is garbage in, garbage out, for all the rats to read it and give them ad money if you are not paying. No wonder that article is free; and many others.

There is an entire field of parallel algorithms which makes use of sequential algorithms to overcome some of these issues. So no it's not wasted. You would apply the knowledge to build parallel algorithms.

There are projects in my school where we implemented a combination of CUDA and openMP in some and MPI+OpenMP in a few. I think the bottleneck is always gonna be there, its just how much and how you deal with it in hardware from the software front.
>"He added that stocks, which represent pieces of real businesses and claims to their profits, are a far superior investment."

The line between some internet company stock and certain crypto projects is beginning to blur:

Many no longer have a physical store or office.

Both employ skilled devs producing code.

Both have a spectrum of success (including some outright frauds)

Both aspire to become profitable and produce value for share/token-holders.

To claim that one is worthwhile while the other isn't seems to indicate a misunderstanding of the governance tokens and the ownership that those provide.
John Collison explores this subject in an episode of Invest Like The Best [1]. He talks about conglomerates like LVMH and Danaher and how they often give managers of acquired companies latitude in how they operate. He also points out that no one in technology has done what is actually pretty common in the rest of the world, namely, one holding company for a whole bunch of independent businesses that are sharing expertise. A counterexample mentioned is Constellation Software [2] which owns about 500 businesses. I definitely think this style of business is underrated and will grow in popularity.

The whole episode is brilliant, full of great insights that I think about often. It's well worth a listen.

At my old house we had a family of squirrels that lived in the trees at the back which I would feed. One night I looked out the window and I saw a rat eating the nuts I had left out for the squirrels earlier. The rat somehow climbed up the fence and managed to get onto the squirrel feeder. After I saw this I brought a new feeder so that the squirrels had to jump to the nuts which meant the rat couldn't get to the nuts anymore, but then my girlfriend asked why I care more about squirrels than the rat and she had a point because the rat wasn't doing us no harm. It wasn't getting into the house or getting into our bins or anything like that. It was just eating the left over nuts in the evening.

I'm an animal lover so it weighed on my conscience for a while, but I think there probably is a difference between the two. I was happy to feed the squirrels because I knew they wouldn't get into the house or damage my property. On the other hand a rat investigation can be a nightmare. Rats are cool creatures, but there's a reason people don't like them.
> They should not be over subscribed as they have to context switch by storing / loading registers and the cache coherence protocols scale badly with more threads.

CPUs can be oversubscribed if so designed.

POWER9 had SMT4 and SMT8, (4-threads per core and 8-threads per core, respectively). SMT8 is basically GPU-level throughput / threading. SMT4 is probably a better medium between x86 (2-threads per core) and the craziness that is GPUs.

> - Register renaming

> - Out of order execution

These are one and the same. Tomasulo's Algorithm is the key thing to understand here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomasulo_algorithm

-------

I'd describe modern CPUs to be pipelined (break up instructions to help parallelize fetch/decode/execution), superscalar (multiple execution pipelines in parallel), out-of-order (renaming / retirement units with Tomasulo's algorithm), branch predicted, speculative processors with virtual memory and MESI-like algorithms to enable cache-coherence / multicore.

-------

I basically agree with your post. Just clarifying a few points. My mental model of CPUs / GPUs seems to match yours.

This doesn't affect your evolutionary argument, but rats didn't spread the Black Death. Human lice was the carrier.

I think back in the day Larry Page saw that Altavista was free and he wanted to compete against it so he chose Google to be free and when millions of users started flocking in with millions of data points ads were the next logical step.

The same situation is with Zuckerberg and MySpace. When Zuck saw MySpace and other social networks at the time being free he made his own version of free social network and again when millions of users started flocking in with millions of data points ads were the next logical step and therefore surveillance capitalism emerged.

Tbh idk if Google and Facebook would be so successful if they were subscription based or would some free alternative come and destroy them.

Take Netflix and YouTube as example; they are both modern versions of TV and they both compete for screen time but YouTube being free and being fueled by essentially free user generated content is in much better position business wise than Netflix will ever be. Netflix needs to convince people to subscribe, they need to do movies contracting, they are spending billions to create their own content etc. And I think at this point YouTube is close to surpassing Netflix by revenue.

>I think the key insight from there is that that sort of situation doesn't just discourage use of free alternatives—it discourages development of them.

I agree with you but at the same time look how TikTok rose from the ashes of Vine. And now TikTok is the biggest Facebook and YouTube competitor for digital ad spending in the last decade.

I think if you want to compete against behemoths you need to dive into niches they do not dare to explore. For example imagine search engine which would allow you to search for "ad-free" websites. Google would never think of creating such feature yet implementing it would be unimaginable because they run the ad show on the web.
