It looks like you are responding to the first sentence of the article. The immediately following two sentences:

"A small plane was shot down when it flew over a wedding party with guests celebrating the occasion by discharging firearms into the air. In California, five fans were injured inside the Oakland Coliseum by falling bullets fired from a neighboring community."
I worked for a pension fund and they are absolutely not taking risks; gilts from a country like the UK are super safe because nobody would ever elect disaster capitalists to run the economy, so things like a complete rearrangement of their economy during a massive economic downturn cannot happen…
Yes, it's mostly the same thing. The old man is called "дед мороз", literally "grandfather frost". As a child you'll find your gift from him under the tree in the morning of January 1st. I believe North Americans' Santa Claus puts gifts into socks on Christmas night instead?

By the way, all of this applies to other ex-USSR countries too, including at least Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
I don’t think anyone in the USSR after Stalin had the same unchecked power as Putin has today, and I do think that the people in power actually cared somewhat about the Soviet Union (not necessarily about its people). There’s hard to tell if there’s any checks at all around Putin, and he only seem to care about himself. And if he thinks he’s going down it wouldn’t surprise me if he tries to take the world with him.

Of course this is exactly what he wants us to fear. In the end we have no idea what actually is happening in his mind.
I read Levine's take but I'm not convinced. The accounting rules are like that because they reflect the real liabilities that the pension (eventually) has. Lower interest rates for a pension that needs to pay out a fixed amount in the future aren't just a "paper loss", they're a genuine asset deficiency.

This kind of swap wasn't just about protecting against the downside (otherwise they could've bought an option), it was about doing it as cheaply as possible by selling off the upside. They took on extra liabilities in order to pay as little as possible for their protection - or, equivalently, to boost their returns - and they missed, or failed to properly cover, an edge case in the liability they were taking on.

You can certainly make a case that it's well and good for pension providers to try to make as large a return as possible. But the "greed" shoe fits.
I’m by no means an expert, but one thing I would keep an eye on is the egress data metric, because Amazon charges for that. If there’s a lot of traffic you might be billed more.
Parent poster seems to be from Intel. They argued very similar about specialized CPUs back then. "You only need one chip"

Then came 3dfx, which was a blast.

You can even call the Amiga Blitter as one of the first GPUs, at least a specialized graphics chip. Same goes for coprocessors, like a math unit in a 486DX for example.

Any system that socializes losses to parties that are not embarking in the risk/profit is going to be exploited. Period. This is not just about finance. It's a leak. Anything that can leak for profit, will eventually leak.

These attacks (and I don't mean you personally) to the free market (and derivative products) are dangerous. If the "free" market fails because it's not so free after all(socialized losses), you don't fix this by having more bureaucrats/politics involvement to run the markets. This will only make matters worse.

The proliferation of politics in the markets, because of that, is also accelerating. The argument is now readily available (look at how these complex derivatives products are destabilizing the market!). This will lead to more chaos in the market, more dysfunction and more organized thefts of the market (if not from smart mathematicians than from politicians/bureaucrats) and eventually to a military rule.

We've been there a few decades ago. It's sad what's happening now.
The problem is you're getting margin called on your swap. You've got to put up more collateral, not when your liability comes due but now, and that probably means selling some assets for far less than they're worth.

> The world needs multiple parties providing unbiased in-depth reviews, but there's very little will to pay for even one group to do something like this. Ironically, paying for information in the information age seems almost comical to today's consumers and while there's demand for good information, no one's willing to open their wallets. Labdoor moved from subscription-only memberships to "certified products" and affiliate links because everyone wants to know what's in their multivitamin, but no one wants to pay for an indepth review. We aren't cultivating a supply-side that works for us, but against us.

I feel like there might be more willingness to pay for this sort of stuff if people knew that they are being straight up lied to. Many people have a sort of vague "yeah probably the company is doing something scummy" attitude, but, at least in my experience, people still mostly trust that their devices do what they explicitly promise to do. Buying a TVOC sensor that doesn't actually measure TVOC at all somehow feels too outrageous to be true.

"Larry started to explain about some of the places where he thought that he could improve things, but Steve wasn't interested. He continued, "You know, I've been thinking about it. How many people are going to be using the Macintosh? A million? No, more than that. In a few years, I bet five million people will be booting up their Macintoshes at least once a day."

"Well, let's say you can shave 10 seconds off of the boot time. Multiply that by five million users and thats 50 million seconds, every single day. Over a year, that's probably dozens of lifetimes. So if you make it boot ten seconds faster, you've saved a dozen lives. That's really worth it, don't you think?"

> I thought it is obvious but... the fact new CPU generation is every few years and bigger space telescope every 30 years ?

What's your question?

> Why you claim it is because of tech based on no source whatsoever while in almost every case the reason for delays in just about any project is either mismanagement or engineering not being able to fulfill what sales signed on?

I don't know what you're talking about but you don't seem to have understood what I was saying. It is a technology based project, and just like any big project which relies on advancing the state of the art (like the LHC and JWST), they can have problems including mismanagement.

> "Hurr durr big computers are hard" is not an argument.

That wasn't my argument. Was that your argument for LHC and JWST?

> It's not even a "single machine" (which would be much more complex to realize), it's a bunch of networked nodes as most (all?) modern supercomputers are, which reduces the scale immensely, as once you get the single server it's just a question of interconnectivity (which Intel will buy from switch vendor most likely) and plumbing.

I've worked on supercomputer bids before on big SSIs (the old SGI Altixes) and clusters, including one in the top 10 now, and they all run code I've written. It is actually far far more than just cabling a bunch of OTC boxes and switches together.

> They are nonetheless iterative.

Certainly not. Some design shrinks and half nodes are relatively small jumps. This supercomputer bid was likely developed around 2013 soon after Intel scaled production of 22nm, and they expected it to be on 10 or even 7nm.

> And Intel is still using essentially same process node as generation before, and same as their consumer chips.

That's because they had so many problems and delays with their silicon, that was not apparent in 2013, their roadmap blew out multiple times, by many years in the end.

> Intel wasn't inventing new material or new way to make chips for those, they planned to use same chips that will eventually land in servers.

And their server business suffered badly as well during that time, for exactly the same reasons.

> The project already changed direction twice (from 180 petaFLOP in 2018 to 1 exaFLOP in 2021 to now 2 exaFLOP) which leads me to believe that's mostly a project management issue. CPUs the supercomputer was supposed to be built are already in sale as the last iteration was upgraded to "new" 2022 generation.

Big projects have big project issues. Project management quite likely had problems, nowhere did I suggest that was not the case. just like LHC and JWST had project management failures, cost overruns, re-scoping, etc.
> I don't get it. Why can't the government walk back these changes?

The lion's share of proposed borrowing is going toward subsidizing energy bills for the public and for businesses for at least the next 6 months. Walking back the tax aspect might please some but it isn't going to make any real difference, aside from political suicide.

I also don't think walking back the energy subsidy is going to win much approval from anyone either.

Mortgage interest rates in the US are nudging 7% and the UK is going to follow the same path regardless of any interventions. Almost all other currencies are also falling sharply against the dollar, btw.

That was a great interview. I really liked his perspective on how close we are to having AGI. His point is that there's only a few more things we need to figure out and then it will basically happen.

I also liked the analogy he made with his earlier work on 2D and 3D graphics engines where taking a few short cuts basically got him on a path to success. For a while we had this "almost" 3D capability long before the hardware was ready to do 3D properly. It's the same with AGIs. A few short cuts will get us AI that is pretty decent and can do some impressive things already - as witnessed by the recent improvements in image generation. It's not a general AI but it has enough intelligence that it can still do photo realistic images that make sense to us. There's a lot of that happening right now and just scaling that up is going to be interesting by itself.

> focus on is how to make it not slow

That's the same thing, worded differently. A junior programmer might focus on looping for-loops backwards "for speed" and then leave a serial `await` in the loop itself. If you don't see that that's a problem, no "focus" will help.
The same. I love gitlab ci/cd.
By “framework” I don’t mean “sequence of steps”, but overall structure of the theory.

Newton did not know e.g. the formulation of stuff in terms of Hamiltonians, even though it is still in a sense in the same framework.

Yeah, and that's exactly the kind of person who would point a gun with (hopefully) a blank at a friend and pull the trigger as a joke. Unfortunately for the friend, that concussive force still might kill them.

The better approach is to keep guns out of the hands of untrained, non-professionals. And since most people don't have a professional need to shoot guns, that means most people shouldn't ever touch a gun.

I maintain that this Fed tightening is manufactured consent to be ruled by an aristocratic class in charge of government. Rent seekers in their twilight years convinced future agency must directly build upon their efforts by propping up their wealth working in the industries they own all the valuable real land and infra capital.

A minority has monopolized agency and insulated themselves from real work using a historical basis that there’s always been bean counters who divvy up public production, take 5 for themselves and give 1 to the next person in the public line. It’s a hard job being stingy, after all.

It’s government quota on free trade abstracted into technical jargon and made unfalsifiable.
You misunderstand. Anarcho-syndacalists like Chomsky demand, that by law, all companies must follow this worker-owned structure. It's a complete restructuring of the economic system.

In the new system there won't be any capitalist-owned enterprises that will burn capital in the short-term, and exploit their own workers to to kill their more ethical competitors.

Also, all workers don't have to manage their company, only some of them. Workers at large just need to be able to kick out any management that decides to exploit their labor. In our current system it is the shareholders decide how much exploitation should be done, and their opinion is "as much as will keep profits high".

Larry's blindspot IMHO is that when he isn't connected to the same experiences that normal people have, his intuition is terrible (and conversely, when he is connected to the same experiences that normal people have, his intuition is awesome, which is why he was able to spot so many of the product cycles of the 00s). He was a terrible CEO, probably for this reason: he made company-wide decisions based on the experiences of the L-team. I remember mocking how the very first dictum when he became CEO was "Meetings should have a single decider and end 5 minutes early", which was probably important at the exec level but was so far removed from the problems that actually faced software engineers at Google in 2011. When you're CEO the information you get is very carefully curated by your lieutenants to produce outcomes desirable to them. Larry was either oblivious to this dynamic or powerless to change it

There are fundamental issues with x86 that make it impossible to match the efficiency of ARM. Variable length instruction coding for instance, which means a surprising amount of power is dedicated to circuitry which is just to find where the instruction boundaries are for speculative execution. Made sense in the 80s when memory was scarce and execution was straightforward, but now it’s a barrier to efficiency that’s baked right into the ISA.

So, nobody in the team questioned - "why are we loading the list of recordings on the program startup instead of giving a button to the user so that they can decide when to see the list of recordings".
Nobody wants to do post-mature optimizations, as in never touch a running system.

No one will say thank you for fixing something, but everybody will blame you if you fail trying.
There could be infinitely many reasons for this kind of slow software, but most cases many programmers don't care what happens under the hood as long as their code over abstraction layers appears to be working as intended in their own test scenario. I saw many websites developed by someone who doesn't really understand how query plans are generated and executed, how data is indexed, etc... and in the result they accidentally write the query that simply scans over the entire table. And thanks to modern hardware and database engine this scales to hundreds or even thousands of users!

If this is true it'd be brilliant. I was prepared to adopt your theory myself, but figured I should at least google it first and that brought me to this:
https://www.history.com/news/july-4-fireworks-independence-d...

It says John Adams wrote:

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America...I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival…It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

It seems he was advocating for celebratory gunfire! The article goes on to say: "[fireworks] would become an increasingly important part of the festivities in the years to come, as public safety concerns caused cannon and gunfire to be gradually phased out of celebrations."

Doesn't disprove your theory (cannon and gun fire would probably be even more effective than fireworks) so I'm adopting it. I'll be sure to spread it around the next time I'm attending a fireworks shew! It also suggests we should have learned our lesson about celebratory gunfire centuries ago, but I guess some people are so slow that even after all this time they still haven't caught on.

Hello,
I'm from Romania, and I never knew we had such facilities.

History is always fascinating and is sad to see parts like this of the industry get destroyed. In every major city, where major industry was (they built quite a lot of things like tractors, cars), now we have Apartment Buildings. In the 90s, after the fall of communism, everything from the industry was bought by members of "Romanian Mafia"(people who had connections and knew how to buy them) and got sold as scrap.
