The other key component of stack ranking was that it's on a per team basis.

A team of 20 people may have no low performers. An org of 400 probably has a couple, at some point the law of large numbers does really start to apply, and you're no longer in competition with the people you're working with on the daily.

If one member of your two-pizza team is going to get fired each year, it makes sense to throw someone under the bus on the reg. If one member of your 100 person org is going to get fired each year, that strategy doesn't make sense.
It's meant to say "ephemeral"... right? It's hard to read after that.

I agree on this thesis, the crux of the problem and I have told many people about this, was the handouts given during covid. It was totally scattershot and should have been more targeted. In addition states like California and others extended payouts way longer than they should have(and had way over-generous unemployment) which led to entire industries being completely short staffed. This led to extreme raises in wages and started a spiral of inflation that started at the bottom of the economic tiers and has worked its way up. Couple that with China doing zero tolerance covid lockdowns our supply chain is completely strangled which is also adding fuel to the fire, and making prices shoot up even further. Real estate sales have completely frozen as prices for all houses are priced in at a 3% interest rate and buyers will not entertain 25-30% cuts in price.

Against this backdrop California plans on distributing $9.5B to any family who makes under a certain amount of money($1k each), I expect this huge infusion of cash to make inflation even worse and I do not know where this will go except that it will not be pretty.

Thank you, your explanation is much clearer than the article.
Your take is entirely reasonable. The lack of empathy often comes from the well off who have never had to struggle and can’t conceptualize what that even means.
Maybe in 1857, "vulgar" had a different meaning. Compared to "vulgar Latin", describing a latin 'dialect' spoken by the masses (in contrast to Cicero's Latin) even after dissolution of the roman empire, reaching its pinnacle in the arguable descendent 'roman' languages (French etc.).
> I do feel a bit of responsibility and shame.

Assuming you weren't alive when those decisions were made or did not support them at the time, I don't see why you should. You have little control over the actions of your nation-state today, you had none when those atrocities were being committed. The vast majority of the people alive today bear no responsibility whatsoever for the events of WWII

Windows update in the background would take 3 hours invested of 4.

Average nodejs manifest file would contain x12000 more dependencies.

Also, we would see a ton more AI being done on the local CPU. Anything from genuine OS improvements to super realistic cat filters on teams/zoom.

> Yes, so they aren't 'removing liquidity' because they are still 'injecting liquidity' at literally every treasury auction (as they have been for 15 years). They are simply injecting less liquidity than they have been, which is my entire point.

Your point is myopically focused on the bond market (and realistically the mortgage backed securities market as well).

The net amount of liquidity is going down. They are removing liquidity.

If I’m in a sinking ship and frantically pulling out buckets of water, the ship is still sinking even though I’m removing water. The fact that the fed has to continue to make bond purchases is a technicality that is irrelevant to anyone outside of the trading industry, and has little net effect of the Marco economy.

Like, when headlines come out saying “alphabet stock sell off on earning miss” do you tell everyone around you that technically there was a buyer on the other side of every one of those transactions?
This was a bit hard to spot in the writeup, as I have no clue about how ice cream making and machines work. Otherwise we could just use ice, which will be as cold as the refrigerator can get it. (I doubt the endothermic reaction of dissolving the salt contributes very much to the cooling).

Now that I think about it, if I were doing this I would use antifreeze for the coolant instead of wasting salt. Bonus, I can store the antifreeze when done, but the salt water is wasted unless I'm going to use it to make some kind of soup or similar.
The absolute rate is the problem. You can't shed that load to other machines so the percentage of users or percentage of traffic doesn't matter. This is basically a variant of Little's Law, where server count has a ceiling of 1.

100 edits a minute from distinct sessions is 1000 sessions pinned at any moment. If they read anything in that interval it comes from the primary. The only question is what's the frequency and interval of reads after a write.
Assuming this blurb is accurate: " General-purpose SSD volume (gp3) provides the consistent 125 MiB/s throughput and 3000 IOPS within the price of provisioned storage. Additional IOPS (up to 16,000) and throughput (1000 MiB/s) can be provisioned with an additional price. The General-purpose SSD volume (gp2) provides 3 IOPS per GiB storage provisioned with a minimum of 100 IOPS"

... then it seems like a device that limits bandwidth either on the storage cluster or between the node and storage cluster is present. 125MiB/s is right around the speed of a 1gbit link, I believe. That it was a networking setting changed in-switch doesn't seem to be surprising.

Fighting inflation with interest rates won't work until the government slows down the trillions in deficit spending.
I could believe it was well-known when it happened, but I suspect that most people not in the industry didn't know, or barely noticed. By ten years later, it seems quite unlikely most people would know.

I'm 40, so I was ~1 when it happened. If it had happened when I was 15 I likely would've been paying attention, but by 1997 it was ancient history.

For years, the Fed has purchased bonds, paid for with newly created liquidity, and now, as the bonds mature, the Fed is getting paid back, removing liquidity from the financial system.
Wow, thank you so much for explaining the overhead around FUSE usage, that’s really eye opening and makes having some performance benchmarks down the line even more interesting.
I'm guessing the underlying point both of you are making, re: 2-3% vs 9% you is that it's inflation... set against popular access to investments that meet or exceed that rate.

I don't mind 3% inflation, when I have low-risk investments that earn >3%.

I do mind 9% inflation, when my low-risk options earn <6%.

(To pull some random demonstrative numbers out of a hat)

And I think it's specifically the broadness of access to the sub- or supra- inflation investment opportunity that matters. If only some, limited-access opportunities exist, then it still hurts.

Which I guess is another way of saying economic-growth-vs-inflation is the important metric, with a dash of central bank policy.

In defense of fiat money... it is a powerful tool in the hands of a responsible macroeconomic manager. Emphasis on powerful & responsible.
The current rate hikes are not due to inflation alone.

IMO, Powell wanted to keep raising rates in 2018, but was hamstrung by Mnuchin and Trump who wanted to keep rates low and the dollar weak. The mini market panic at the time did not help. The COVID meltdown is why we went back to zero. Now he has the perfect excuse to return back things to a normal economic mode.
I wonder why someone would equate "instance launch time" with "reliability"... I won't go as far as calling it "clickbait" but wouldn't some other noun ("startup performance is wildly different") have made more sense?
People don't like being told no.

The vast majority of all-rights-reserved content is either not licensable, or not licensable at a price that anyone would be willing to pay or can afford. Ergo we[0] would much rather see more opportunities to use the work without needing permission, because we will never have permission.

When getting permission is reasonable then people are willing to defend the system. And code is much more likely to be licensable than art.

I still think the "Copilot is GPL evasion" argument is bad, though.

Litestream does log shipping so it just takes a chunk of the write-ahead log (WAL) and copies it out a destination. That can be S3, GCP, SFTP, etc.

LiteFS will do the same although I'm only targeting S3 initially. That seemed to be the bulk of what people used.

Salt's way cheaper than antifreeze, and I'd be a lot happier about getting a little stray salt in my ice cream than getting a little stray ethylene glycol (with bittering agents, since 2010).
> Most of what it does is mass psychology - trying to convince the markets of its resolve one way or another.

Inflation isn't the result of mass psychology. It's the result of too much money sloshing around in the economy, thanks to trillions in deficit spending.
In my experience, "incredibly high pressure and demanding" is code for:

- Hacky code with quick turn around times.

- Lots of reporting and CYA.

- Very conservative behavior (nobody's going to go out on a limb to write something new because they're too busy churning through those "high pressure" Jira tickets).

In the long run you just have an army of engineers, their backs whipped raw, toiling frantically at a mountain of tech debt.

Clearly my argument 'one possible explanation of why poor communities would disproportionately exhibit that behavior' is weak and one saying literally 'other behaviors at that income level are incompatible with life' is not? I've merely made a conjecture, I find it extremely weak, obtuse, and unproductive to just say welp 'incompatible with life' as if that is that.

My argument was a mere possibility. The counter argument was a factual statement about literal 'incompatible with life.' The latter is much stronger, in fact my counterparty made a statement much more closer to how one who believes they are the suppository of all wisdom would behave.

Going back and phrasing this as "sharing any bounty" being synonymous with "cooperation", and then using cooperation in connection with saying I got it in reverse, is about as bad faith as it gets.
Lawsuits are just another form of income for big companies like that. They saw you making money and realized that your money could be theirs instead.

Uh no. Oil and gas supply went down due to presidential mandates. Biden's “pause” on federal oil and gas leasing and drilling permits. And any new permits that might be approved on public lands had royalties increased from 12.5% to 18.75%. A 6.25% increase on production.

Agree: the PC gaming market size[1] continues to grow and is definitely very very alive.

I am guessing the dead rumour is because the console market is growing faster. Conveniently ignoring that the mobile market is growing faster than the console market (mobile has 50% of market value by some analyses).

Conversely, AAA games are mostly not exclusive to PC keyboard/mouse control (games market could be split by input devices: mobile touchscreen, console controller, PC keyboard + mouse).

The point is that Russia is the largest country by land area, composed of a great many regions and ethnicities, and yet all the language-speakers have vanished.

This didn't happen by accident. It is the result of a program of systematic, violent, erasure.
The only so-called “justification” flows like this:

- Russia is a Superpower
- Superpowers have a “natural right” to a sphere of influence
- therefore Russia has a right to a sphere of influence.

- In Russia’s view, Ukraine is within their sphere of influence.
- therefore Ukraine has no right to sovereignty, and certainly not to join adversarial alliances.
- in fact, according to current Russian doctrine, *the Ukrainian people has no right to even choose its own government* if their choice is a government that is not an ally of Russia’s.

This is of course a completely monstrous view of history and nations and it allows for no space for - y’know - Ukrainians to have any say.

You can justify any monstrosity by saying “well Germany is a superpower and it deserves the right to determine its neighbor’s futures”.

And of course this is all nested in the old adage “Well the US did it too - in Iraq/Cuba/Chile/whatever” which is just a fallacy not worth the words it contains.

This is however predicated on multiple levels of completely nonsense. The best explanation I’ve seen is Stephen Kottkin on Lex Friedman’s podcast.

Will I be sad if I lose my job to AI/ML? Yeah, probably, but at some fundamental level that's why I've always tried to keep myself up to date with stuff that's harder to automate.
> The offerings between the two cloud vendors are also not the same, which might relate to their differing response times. GCP allows you to attach a GPU to an arbitrary VM as a hardware accelerator - you can separately configure quantity of the CPUs as needed. AWS only provisions defined VMs that have GPUs attached - the g4dn.x series of hardware here. Each of these instances are fixed in their CPU allocation, so if you want one particular varietal of GPU you are stuck with the associated CPU configuration.

At a surface level, the above (from the article) seems like a pretty straightforward explanation? GCP gives you more flexibility in configuring GPU instances at the trade off of increased startup time variability.
In the vast majority of cases, nothing, as the mutations will likely be silent. In the worst case, a point mutation could possible lead to the development of a cancer. But remember, the article says this has been going on all the time as natural process. It's not new. So no increased risk from this process.
Realistically, AI network training at the level being done by corporations with big server farms, becomes accessible to solo devs and hobbyists (let's count GPU's as general purpose). So if you want your own network for Stable Diffusion or Leela Chess, you can do on your own PC. I think that is the most interesting obvious consequence.

Also, large scale data hoarding becomes far more affordable (I assume the petabyte ram modules also mean exabyte disk drives). So you can be your own Internet Archive, which is great. Alternatively, you can be your own NSA or Google/Facebook in terms of tracking everyone, which is less great.
To be honest, I think you need to preface your comments with some caveat about absurd opinions you have, because you're trying to pass this off as authoritative but lots of this is just pure opinion. We're on a forum where if you posted a similar comment about an raspberry pi I'd take you literally as an expert, but this comment clearly contains a load of opinion that's not backed up by fact. I worry someone might mistake you for making a technical statement where it's clearly just a political statement.
Haha, even a cynic like myself couldn't see this coming.
