I don't understand what is it with DNS-based blocking people that they seem to be some of the most annoying proselytizers. Anyone remembers the "HOSTS file guy" from Slashdot ?

DNS-based blocking is as much a "future-proof" technology as "just don't look at the adverts". DNS-based blocking is old, easily workaroundable by anyone (just use the same domain name for everything, or interchangeable domain names, or just don't rely on system DNS), and significantly less featureful than even the simplest DOM/JS-based blocking (e.g. good luck collapsing ad elements from the view, getting Youtube not to play ads, etc.).

> I can see, that I’m indeed a Systems Architect, and not a Software Engineer anymore.

I find this distinction harmful. Are we going back to the days where there were programmers who did the grunt work and architects who told them what to do?

I prefer how my company career ladder, where there are no architect titles. Each level is 'fractal', containing almost the same responsibilities but at different scales and scope.

So for example, as a Junior Engineer you will define the design (architecture) of a feature within a service, while as a Staff Engineer you will oversee the architecture of a system spanning several teams. This way architecture is everyone's responsibility, and people have a natural path to grow their skills.

I agree with your analysis, but I don't think that's how most people interpret global compute power consumption. The stored energy in the gasoline is not counted in global energy production figures, but the electricity used to power your GPU is.
I think you're right and that they're hoping to unload the last of the 2019s this Black November at a ridiculous discount (again).

This sounds like you're doing research. You're trying to gather data on daily habits and interventions taken by subjects and then looking at the impact on their blood marker levels. That is normally something that would happen in a randomized controlled trial or possibly epidemiological retrospective if you're doing pure data mining, and the research subjects would at worst be volunteers, but might even be paid. This feels like you're asking research subjects to pay to be research subjects so they can take your treatments that you don't yet have evidence for.

I don't mean to sound like I'm impugning your ethics, but why are you doing this as a startup and not a research proposal? Is it normal for YCombinator to fund medical research?

The popsci figure for how much a human can concentrate during a day is six hours. A standard 5-day 40-hour workweek already consumes that and more.

This is 100% the correct answer - it’s literally what actual doctors use, even while you’re sitting in their office with them as they diagnose you. It’s subscription only though.
If suddenly there was no ad blocking available on Chrome cold turkey we would see nearly all users who are accustomed to an ad free experience go looking for a new browser. Coordinate this with a marketing blitz from Firefox and essentially you can take nearly all the Chrome ad block users and turn them into Firefox users. And from there it's word of mouth even from the non-techies.

Good ad blocking is an essential part of a browser. Even Google who is actively slow boiling the frog knows they can't just hard cut it off because the users will jump ship immediately.

Why should we let Google get away with this? I feel the right move is to proactively take steps that make Chrome very obviously noncompetitive. By not providing ad blocking at all or at least making it a much inferior experience. It needs to be obvious to the users, not just to tech folks.
To be fair, as long as cheap grain exports are available (although lately that's been in question), a weird situation has become possible where developing countries have been able to leapfrog past agricultural modernization, abandon the agricultural sector entirely, and focus on industrialization instead.

It turns out though this has a mixed effect...

In good times, this works for the same reason you and I going to a job to get cash to then pay for groceries works a lot better than you and I also trying to grow our own food.

In bad times, if the country does not have the means to keep paying for and securing imports, famine, hunger, death, and violent upheaval happen.

If your ad doesn't run any javascript code, doesn't place any cookie, doesn't do any kind of tracking, and is relevant to the content many wouldn't mind unblocking it in their adblocker. Especially if it is served from the same domain host the content is on. What kind of ads you serve also matter - small text ads (like Google Adsense / Adwords ads used to be a decade or two ago) was actually interesting when it was relevant to the subject content. Tiny tidbits of text are easy to scan and read or skip. I can also somewhat tolerate still-image banner ads as long as it is a few kbs lightweight and doesn't draw too much attention to itself. I absolutely abhor animated gifs, video, pop-up etc. ads of any kind. "Interrupt ads" (those placed in between the content) are also very irritating.

Agreed. I think you would be naive to not think the NHS information factors treatment cost/managing demand into their answers as well.
> I seriously don’t understand why people use Telegram instead of Signal. Any reason!

Any reason? I’ll give you some serious ones.

Signal sucks really bad on user experience and features. If you try both for a week or two and learn about the features, you’d be able to conclude the same.

Signal does not care about users and prevents backups on iOS. Lose your device or delete the app due to some issues and reinstall? All your chats are gone!

Signal still has message delivery issues (like long delays)…it’s 2022!!!

Signal keeps pestering me to allow notifications and to allow contacts access. I can only choose “Not Now”, since there is no option that says “No”. When I choose “Not Now”, it will say “we’ll remind you later” and pester me again. I don’t understand why anyone would assume that this app cares about privacy or about users’ time.

Again: who are you arguing with? Every response you've written here has the quality of being written as if addressing someone or something that doesn't even appear in the discussion.

> I'm not sure what bubble this would be

The one that goes (roughly), "clearly I am addressing a fellow tradesperson who is biased against other factions, and therefore it is reasonable to declare this to be a thinly veiled attack that I have assumed it is". If you spend your time squabbling with colleagues (and/or trying to deflect attacks on Twitter[1]), and when you come across someone you immediately leap to the conclusion that they're working against you[1] on professional–ideological grounds, then there might be some bubble-backed paranoia at work.

I don't care about your opinionated in-trade squabbles. I don't occupy either "side" of the debate that you've tried to insert me into* any more than your aunts and uncles and grandparents do. (What are their thoughts on going with Tailwind versus not? I suppose they'll let you know when they get their first client for frontend work and it comes up—or even could come up—right? Me too.

In my case my impact plummeted. Sometimes going in to management means having your hands tied -- you are the ones allowing higher ups to scale their impact. It was awful.

I'd love to be able to find folks that can do what I do -- it's probably our #1 issue holding us back -- and direct them to meet some business and technical goals, but I've yet to work at an organization that supports that mode of management.

4.2 Gigabytes, Or: How to Draw Anything
Yeah very poorly phrased on my part, sorry.

Since you mentioned "up to 74% more efficient at 65W" what I meant is if the perf per watt (and hence the temp) doesn't scale linearly with the amount of work.

The 7700X has about double the TDP of the 3700X but about a 50% increase in perf.

https://www.ethicalads.io/alternative-to-carbon-ads/

To be 100% honest, Carbon is a great product, and I do recommend them. I wish we were competing against only Google & Facebook, instead of Carbon & BuySellAds, because they are a solid competitor. However, Carbon is not as privacy-focused, and they are closed source. They still inject Google's and other third-party images in your docs. We have pushed back against that with our advertisers, which has caused us to lose some business, but we want our publishers to know that we're the only third-party they are dealing with.

Not to say that all third-party scripts are bad. The ad industry is pretty scammy, and there's a good bit of fraud. A lot of these third-party services are about verification and standardizing reporting. However, it's still sending all your visitor data to a third-party, which you have no knowledge of ahead of time, and could change. We have invested a good amount in our anti-fraud detection, and we know our product is good because of the number of repeat advertisers we have.

We often have publishers who do a 50/50% split between us & Carbon, to diversify their revenue. Daily.dev does this, and talks a bit about it here: https://www.ethicalads.io/blog/2022/01/publisher-spotlight-s... -- We recommend that to folks who aren't coming to us for privacy or regulatory reasons, especially if they have a lot of traffic.
The cost varies by cut width (44" is quite a bit cheaper) but yeah, it's very commercial oriented. It's intended for people who need to mow difficult slopes day in and day out.

There's really no point in going beyond 16 core CPUs. Games only use 4 cores, maybe 6 cores max. Which means for games, you want to maximize performance-per-core and don't care about having more than 8 cores. More than 8 cores is only useful for very few use cases where the task is very parallelizable or you care about power consumption efficiency and some of those cores are efficiency cores.
>That's objectively false.

No. If you bought into the new age pro noun thing the SAME way you already buy into the pointless formalities we use like "please" and "thank you" there would be no argument. Everyone would be happier. This is objectively true. You just misinterpreted what I mean here.

>I'm a strong believer in free speech, even if it's offensive.

This is off topic. Free speech is part of the battle but it's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to something much deeper then that. Proponents of political correctness are attempting to redefine reality. They want to change the concept of gender as "fluid" and non-binary and they are trying to change this from a scientific aka "objective" standpoint. Compelled speech is just a tool to push this agenda, and while I don't support it, the arguments behind free speech aren't interesting to me.

It's this entire idea of attempting to categorize this new interpretation of gender as the objective truth that interests me.
An idea would be bug bounties. They are great for free time, because you can always do it on your own time, and in the end you can get paid for submitting bugs. Bugcrowd and hackerOne are great platforms to do such bug bounties.

The quality of ethical vs non-ethical is not a binary state, it's a transient descriptor. That which was not evil will either fail or grow large enough to become evil. There are no known exceptions to this.

You are not wrong, my experience comes from what I think might be a niche. A startup doing both hardware and software, and does so with an offshore team.

> I find the larger problem is how most engineers define "smart people" - they typically only mean someone with a high technical aptitude when really things like communication skills, collaboration, motivation, etc. are better indicators success on a software team.

Sure but with no evidence either way the task of proving it to a judge, politicians or the general public could be done pretty effectively using the companies marketing material or general public sentiment.

If you are willing to assume that the masks each only have 1 bit set, this would be less of a mouthful although it would draw other objections:

if (@popCount(mask & (WGPUColorWriteMask_Alpha|WGPUColorWriteMask_Blue)) == 2)

I do not know Zig, so the syntax might not be right. I did check to see that it has popcount [1].

If it has some concise way to flip all the bits, then this would be another possibility that isn't too verbose, but might raise other objections. Let fmask be mask with all the bits flipped (how would one do that in Zig?).

if ((fmask & (WGPUColorWriteMask_Alpha|WGPUColorWriteMask_Blue)) == 0)

I worked for a company that tried to do exactly what this article is proposing, I was responsible for parsing the data from publications into exactly this sort of table.

The primary reason is that it is very hard to come up with a schema that even 5% of papers would adhere to. The vast majority of this knowledge is phrased as natural language.

There are databases that track compounds and the publications related to them, but those papers again are natural language and cannot be readily converted to tabular data. Our first basic approach involved POS tagging and then trying to associate proper nouns with numeric values. Again the issue became how do you interpret a sentence like "may lead to sudden death" as a symptom? Something like "may lead to symptom X in Y% of respondents" is a nightmare to consistently parse without heavy ML running over huge datasets of just text.

In the end we wound up having to shut down concluding that until papers are released with not only arbitrary XML tables/results we were not equipped to handle the task. And even worse, what if our models didn't interpret things correctly and a consumer got {symptom:"sudden death", chance:0%} and insisted on that compound for their indication only to later realize the paper stated "in lab setting 0% of animals didn't experience sudden death after being administered X after diabetes diagnosis". Paying a hundred students to work around the clock couldn't get the volume processed accurately for months, let alone getting a second army of validators to confirm each entry.

> AMD is following suit

I don't think it's a "problem" per se.

TDP is a ceiling, "power consumption under the maximum theoretical load", and it allows for higher clocks, yes, and especially across more cores.

Unlike Apple, AMD and Intel have to compete with each other and care about how well games perform. So single core clock speed matters more. So while they work towards efficiency on the one end, they still try to push upwards on thermal headroom and clock speeds.

It would be a problem if Intel and AMD only chased high clock speeds, but ignored everything else (especially efficiency) entirely. But Zen 4 is a terrible example of AMD ignoring efficiency. (+13% IPC, +74% performance at 65W compared to Zen 3.)

I've read a ton about it over the years and my conclusion is that it's just not that deep of a concept.

One side says: "We need more inclusive language" where the other side says "we need free speech". Pretty much any and every conversation or article I read has boiled down to these two points.

The reason it gets discussed so much is that it's easy for both sides to point to "violations" on the other side. One side keeps ranting and raving that that the other side is being homophobic/transphobic/racist/classist/etc, the other side looks at that outrage, and responds in kind with it's own outrage going "look how wild this is". But every conversation just ends up with each side presenting examples of what they consider to be strange behavior by the other side.

The real interesting part is not what the talking points are, but who is pushing then and the distribution of those talking points. My theory is the number of people that actually care about political correctness is vanishingly small. But because their ideas are so over the top to the other side, their opponents amplify their talking point. This amplification on social media results in the issue being perceived as a much bigger issue than what it actually is.

And as a result of that amplification, people outside of that "culture war" start looking at the signals and assume the issue is much bigger than it really is and respond accordingly. Your HR manager might browse twitter every morning and gets the impression that racism in the workplace is a massive problem because "everyone on twitter is talking about it". So they institute a new diversity training policy to respond to that.

TL;DR: The political correctness crowd is very small, but through amplification on social media, their ideas are being falsely perceived as being a much bigger issue than they really are.
