- American farms are 4 times more productive than African farms. We need to develop seeds for the African environment so the Africa no longer needs to import food [1]

- After Joe Manchin bailed on the big infrastructure bill, Bill Gates personally lobbied him (secretly) to turn him around so he finally signed the revised version [2]

- Rich countries emitted the carbon dioxide that contributed to global warming. Poor countries did not but they are being most heavily effected by global warming. We need to help them by developing seeds in a hotter climate [3]

- We've reinvented the toilet so it processes it's own waste so you don't need a sewage plant [4]

- When asked about the role of government vs private foundations, he said you need both, because where government falls short private foundations can step in. [5]

- When asking Gates about the future, Ari asked him about the Metaverse and if would become a big part of the economy. He redirected the topic and didn't answer the question. He said virtual reality was fine, like a video game, but he said artificial intelligence was far more significant and where the most advances will be made. [6] [7]

- When asked about being the largest private land owner in America he said his investment group is investing heavily in farms and increasing yields from those farms. [8]

I've been doing ops for a long time, and I can't remember the last time I looked at an historical log (edit: I'm referring to application logs specifically stored in a central location). When something is broken, I turn on logging and look at the logs in real-time. If something was broken in the past and no longer is, I turn on logging for that thing so that I have logs if it happens again.

The only use I can think of for historical logs is security auditing. In which case there is only a subset of logs you really need to trace a breach and they don't need to be searchable online -- you can pull them back from cold storage if you need to check for an incident.

Moving and storing logs and making them all instantly searchable is awfully expensive for little benefit.

The kind of people who get rims repaired rather than just buying new (no doubt based on some hand-wavy BS about safety from someone who makes a margin on the rims they sell) don't buy new rims.
This! I think people from south east Asia can relate to this. I’ve been an active rider for over a decade before coming to US. When counter steering was taught in the motorcycle safety program,it felt counter intuitive. One reason I can think of is back in my home country max speeds were under 50mph where you dont have to counter steer that much.
What you said is true to some extent, but youtube also makes their own youtube originals.

I love the fact that there is a program to actually pay GPU hosts that opt into the network. I'm planning to travel a bit this fall, and it would be a fun project to set up my system for this purpose whilst I'm away.

Mining bitcoin feels gross to me (no flame wars please)... but sharing GPUs with artists seems way more altruistic.
Hiring and the subsequent layoffs isn't a bad decision, it is a strategic move. If you need to scale, you need lots of folks, even if the efficiency per person is lower, your scale is larger. Once you have achieved scale, refine and tune which involves cutting workforce and increasing workload of existing workforce, maximizing output per worker.

If anything 30% is already high and the company will have problems staying in business as the article notes.

The rule of thumb used to be 1/5 of retail should be COGS.

Source: 25 years ago my father co-founded a pro audio company that later pivoted to prosumer/consumer space. 4 VC rounds later the company was sold to major manufacturer for 9 figures. My father had less than 1% left after dilution.

PS The biggest source of growth for the company was a massive ad campaign by Apple that also featured device by the company. Another key factor was being next door to a major channel for distribution. Of course the hardware was nice too but for the first 10 years the company had less than million in sales.
That's pretty callous to equate the harm done to a business when one person quits, to the harm done when scores are let go simultaneously. In the 2nd case folks can suffer, often more than a schedule setback or an HR event. Obviously.
If I’m part of a layoff, the fact that the CEO might take $10 million less in stock compensation over the next 5 years is pretty meaningless to me.

I mean if we believe googles top line result, the ceo got $14 million in total comp, of which ~150k was salary, and 7 million was direct stock. So let’s say they cut it all completely. 11% of their workforce is ~865 people. Estimating 130k for an average developer salary, so call it 160k fully loaded. Stop paying the CEO direct cash or cash equivalent completely and use it to pay salaries of people being laid off and you can save 44 jobs assuming your CEO will only work for stock options from now on. That turns this from an 11% cut to a 10.5% cut.

That might matter quite a bit to those 44 people, but the rest are still in the same place they are today, except maybe they feel a little better because the CEO doesn’t get paid for a little while, or at least until he moves on and the company hires a new ceo with real money again.

More important than symbolic flogging of the C-suite would be what the severance package looks like.
Ah you're right it's section 4.2.6.

> Roughly the same as the inefficiencies of an electric stove.

As someone who regularly cooks with both, this is quite clearly not the case. When I cook with a gas stove everything around the burner gets ridiculously hot, not just the pot, while on the glass top electric stove, the surrounding environment is comfortably cool.

Gas flames do not direct heat well.

Might be off topic, but are you saying doctors aren't like how you described?

Because while modern medicine has advanced a lot, AFAIK there are still some cases where the quality of medical treatment is exactly how you described. For one, there aren't really any processes in place to ensure doctors actually keep themselves up to date with the latest medical knowledge, so the doctor you see might be say 20 years out of date. And yes, for this example, it would be expensive to fix this, say you enforce a rule that 20% of the doctor's time must be spent on something other than treating patients or revenue generation. So nobody's gonna do this.

At least software doesn't often lead to deaths. At least not directly.

We don't know the implementation details (e.g. quota v not) but the net impact of an "anti-racist" process to ID layoff candidates v. a race-blind best-for-company process is either laying off white people due to their skin color or it's toothless BS.

Agreed. I don't consider myself to have moved politically right at all, but progressives are moving drastically left. Stuff like this, and the modern gender politics that is resulting in the erasure of women and lesbians in particular, has resulted in me no longer referring to myself as a leftist.

Screenreader: image "alt" tag should be equivalent, shouldn't it? Arguably better, because the intent of it is more widely understood.

Search engine parsing: image "alt" tag should be equivalent again.

Copy-Paste: Arguably not better with a font. A raster image will be the same regardless of where you copy-paste it. A logo implemented with a font will only look the same when copy-pasting between applications that are aware of that font. If every company creates their own font-logo, it will just break copy-paste everywhere except their domain.

That is an interpretation of the Phenomenology of Spirit.

Hegel and Hofstadter seem to be trying to find "spirit". To keep it simple, spirit can be defined by the "I" aka self-consciousness (but it could also be an ant colony, the Church, the State, the biosphere, etc... all the way up to "God").

Hegel tries to notice the becoming of the notion of the Concept (which could be noticed as the basic thought-tool) into (and through) the notion of the "I".

Hofstadter is trying to do something similar but instead of the Concept as the base (or starting point), he uses the Axiom. Hofstadter then tries to discover if "I" (or "spirit") can emerge from a system of axioms.

Please Note: In order to keep it short I gloss over about 1500 pages of Hegel's & Hofstadter's works.
Nevertheless it's very very easy to argue that Jeter is overrated if you stop evaluating with your eyes and dive into the metrics. He's got the lowest defensive WAR (-9.4) of any shortstop in the modern era – the objective outcomes of him playing in that position are quite literally worse than average, and worse than any other shortstop who played under Steinbrenner or in that media market (Didi Gregorius gets far less attention, but is a far better SS).

People rate him highly based on watching his spectacular, dramatic diving catches – forgetting that those dives are the product of him being badly positioned on the hit, and that a correctly-positioned player would simply make an unremarkable routine catch on the same hit.

Jeter's the baseball equivalent of the programmer who an Org is in love with for constantly spending nights and weekends fighting fires, failing to notice that it's the same person who's accidentally starting all of the fires to begin with.

Good thing others think differently or software wouldn’t be a viable business.
I agree but business is fluid and the market place is fluid. What was true yesterday isnt necessarily true today. His job is to steer the ship to make sure it continues to float and sail, if that means jettisoning empty weight then overboard it goes. There is never a good way to tell both employees and the market that you are making changes that will drastically effect both parties.
Really? After they went up precipitously and now are returning to the previous (still unaffordable) level? Hardly a great benefit to the public. The lessening of another crushing blow I guess.

Thank you for your question! We believe our pricing is competitive and tends to be one of our strong points, along with our speed. We charge considerably less than most other rendering services. Our farm will also render your projects much faster than a single RTX 3070 can render them.

For artists/studios who do a ton of rendering, it may be worth it for them to buy up many graphics cards and create their own private render farm. However, this requires considerable up-front cost as well as a lot of technical expertise, which many simply don't have. For a lot of them, it's a much better deal to render with rentaflop and not have the headache and cost of managing hardware.
We are similar in that we use a monthly subscription that ultimately pays open source developers but I'd say that's where the similarities end. Tidelift is focused on security and vetting dependencies which is a noble effort! StackAid is focused on eliminating any friction and allowing many many more developers to be financially supported and make a living developing open source.

> The first prototype of the B-52 may have been designed in a weekend.

Not even that is true. Here's the timeline from the article.

> In July of 1948, Boeing received a contract from the still-new U.S. Air Force to design and build a new heavy bomber.

...

> So when Boeing’s three-man presentation team arrived at Wright Field Air Force Base on October 21, 1948

...

> Warden suggested to the Boeing team that they do away with their design and come back to him with a new one that included turbojet engines ... unbeknownst to Warden at the time, Schairer happened to be carrying some work he’d already done on the possibility of a jet-powered bomber in his briefcase, giving him just enough of a foundation to think a redesign might be possible

...

>The next morning, which happened to be a Friday, the Boeing team returned with their newly jet-powered B-52 design, only to find that Warden remained unimpressed.

...

> The two soon joined Schairer, Wells, Carlsen, and Blumenthal in the increasingly cramped hotel room, pouring over sketches and quickly-scribbled mathematical computations. Computers wouldn’t become a common facet of aviation design for decades to come. It was up to these six men and their witts to design an entirely new bomber… and they had just 48 hours to do it.

..

> By Sunday, the team had compiled a full proposal that they turned over to a local stenographer to type up a clean copy. By Monday morning, they arrived back in Warden’s office with not only a fully-realized 33-page B-52 proposal but a silver, hand-crafted, 14-inch model of the bomber itself. Warden immediately took to the weekend design.

So, July -> October 26th (Monday morning)

4 Months isn't bad at all but it's not quite the 4 days suggested in the headline.
For me the most obvious issue with it is that, unlike on a reputable render farm, the confidentiality of renders isn't in any way guaranteed, which is a full stop deal breaker for most professional work. Sure this might work for hobby projects but even on my hobby projects I want to retain control of my own IP. If I used you for professional work I would be breaking some of the terms of pretty much every contract I've ever been asked to sign as a creative. Not sure how you get around that unless you run blender in a black box process.
This is pretty crazy extreme. It's like you were just looking for a pretext to do this anyway, so whatever biased view you had of January 6, could suit that.

Let's just say you're pro- Asian rights, and you have a largely peaceful protest with good objectives about equality and respect and I decide that I don't really like that I don't want to see the Asians getting equal treatment so I decide to sabotage your operation and I organize a bunch of Japanese nationalist extremists to come on the same day and do some acts of vandalism or violence because I know that the media will be hungry for that and will use that to smear everybody else's involvement.

So suddenly nobody recognizes that the peaceful protest was made up of hundreds of thousands of families simply wanting a fair go for their Asian American children, all they see now is hundreds of thousands of crazy people supporting insane Japanese nationalist extremist performing violence and vandalism.

So I have successfully tarnished the entire hypothetical Asian rights movement. I hacked the media and people's ability to be prejudiced and form a stereotype based on something that inspires fear.

So...I win and you lose because I've successfully misrepresented everything you were standing for by grabbing everyone's attention.
I'd argue that's part of what makes it work. You can get ten people into one meeting room (or one zoom call) and still be able to talk to each other clearly.

I want to preface this that I think the work your company does is important. SEO is much like advertising and marketing in that it often gets a bad rap by techies, but they are nonetheless important because otherwise one is strongly handicapped when it comes to developing and selling a product.

Nonetheless there are degrees to this and pushing a set of features designed to automatically generate text that closely mimics what other high-ranking content looks like has an outsize impact on the quality of the "commons": in this case Google or any other index of internet content. As other commentators have pointed out, the current state of AI means that while the style of the text is likely to be in line with other content, the actual content of the text may be either useless or actively wrong.

Given the prevalence of such articles already in search results, it is unlikely that the normal mechanism of human perusal of search results will be an effective quality filter.

It is true that, as I allude to, such articles already exist and in this sense Contentedge is not enabling a novel new harm per se. However, it drastically changes the ease of doing so, and doing the same thing, just at a larger scale and higher efficiency, given sufficiently big values of "larger" and "higher" can have a qualitative impact on the harm rendered.
> However, at the time I was able to articulate all the ways moving X, Y and Z to the Internet would make things better -- for hours on end -- and I would 'win' those arguments. OTOH, all my crypto crazed associates have trouble doing that same thing today.

I find that most crypto-crazed enthusiasts don't have the foggiest idea about how it works, beyond some broad vague ideas. People who can articulate its benefits exist, but they tend to get drowned out. Many of them are building companies instead of bothering to prosthelytize or argue on forums.
