It's a little different because:

(1) Stocks do make money in the long term. If you buy and hold broad ETFs like SPY and QQQ you can do very well on Robin Hood.

(2) The cumulative effect of people's speculation helps set prices and allocate capital. Even if many speculators loose, collectively the speculators have excellent judgement. It's as if the sports betting helped decide who wins the game.

> turning into an anti intellectual space where takes like "economics is not a science, it's a social science!" are the best we have to offer

A bank taking an endowment awarding a prize and money to physicists, chemists and biologists, and ramming in to it a prize for economists saying nonsense the bankers like to hear, is the definition of anti-intellectual.

The physicists, chemists and biologists are the intellectuals and scientists, the economists are frauds telling the bankers what they want to hear.
Nice article. It would be nice if it touched on thread safety, since that is inseparable from memory safety these days. Maybe in part 2?
I tend to agree. It seems like flagship smartphones (more generally) and Macs are one of the few consumer accessible lines where the price, build quality, and longevity have a proportional and justifiable relationship.
Bovada live betting did (at one point at least) let you bet on whether the next play in a football game was a run or pass and what the outcome of a baseball at bat was going to be (hit, strikeout, etc). I don’t know about field goals in a basketball quarter but you can certainly now easily bet on the O/U for a quarter totals which is essentially the same thing.

Redefining who controls different parts of the ecosystem. For example, making it so apple mail is not the main controller of email on iphone, or the app store being the main controller for getting apps onto the device. It's just put everything in one app, and then have control.

It's not very creative, and is really just a centralization play.

Title and end conclusion of the article are contradicting. Last paragraph says, "If you cannot take 2 days off, then you have other options. If you want to take test once in 10 years, Colonoscopy is the king". This means Colonoscopy is still the king if you can take 2 days off from your work ( which I believe most workers should be able to as this is important for one's life ). Not sure how this is beneficial for the readers of this article.

If you go to 95% of architects or interior designers, they will give you designs that are largely representative of current trends, which is incidentally what most people want.

Very few people in creative industries are truly pushing that industry into new frontiers, and that is actually appropriate. Exploring outside the frontier is actually full of failure, and far less likely to produce something most people want.

I honestly think that people operating outside of the frontier of established creative trends technically have a completely different set of skills, and a completely different job altogether, than people who create within the boundaries.

Free-speech absolutism is a position you might rethink if you had panzerkampfwagens rolling over your fields in living memory. Visit Auschwitz, then have a think.

And fwiw, there are limits to free speech in the US, too. You could get yourself arrested for shouting "Fire!" in a cinema. Does that bother you? Do you feel your rights are curtailed, if you cannot freely express your opinion that a cinema is on fire?

Agree. But I think the idea of flying a bomb into someone's car (the first thing that came to mind when I thought about it for a few seconds) is, to the powerful, a whole 'nother level of terror.

Not to be so cynical/dark, but I'm surprised to have not yet heard of a targeted assassination done by an amateur with an off-the-shelf drone. I have to admit the idea is frightening.
> Times used to be you'd be recognized for your hard work and get raises, bonuses, and promotions but those days are gone. Now you have to change jobs to get ahead. So why put in any extra effort at a temporary job?

I guess it depends on what you're looking for. If you just want to chill, that seems reasonable.

But if you're a climber, it seems reasonable to put in work and ask for extra responsibility that will help you get a better job the next time you switch companies. As long as you put yourself on a timer and switch regularly, I don't see that as being taken advantage of.

I certainly wouldn't fault people for disagreeing with me about this, though.
Those are called spot bets and spot betting has long been popular and possible.

Most people probably don't care about nor want decentralization. They want predictable. They want to make sure they get paid on time.

Accordingly, this is why hardly anyone's dumping a ton of effort into decentralized services. There's no profit incentive.

> I'm pretty grumpy about reading long, long, loooong articles

Why, what else you have to do that's so important? I enjoyed reading the history and the current state of this fascinating subject.
He is referring to the finite supply. In 1960 the entire US monetary supply (M2) was $300 billion. Today it's $22 trillion. When there's so much more money out there inflation is inevitable. Monetary velocity is the true driver, but greater supply tends to drive greater velocity.

By contrast sometime around 2140 the final Bitcoin will be mined, and we're already reducing the number mined per block. Inflation can still happen for reasons besides supply, but it's generally much less probable.
Over 85% of the components in rockets like Kalibr and other high accuracy cruise missiles are sourced outside Russia, much of it formerly coming from the West. While they may or may not have the money to pay for new missiles, Russia continues to have a difficult time replacing those losses. Russia had very large stockpiles of these missiles before the war, but they've chewed through them at a prodigious rate. From all estimates I've read, they are feeling the pinch, because their logistics are a mess on a good day and the sanctions make sustainment (particularly for high precision munitions) very challenging. Russian logistics were not designed for this type of long, drawn out campaign and it is showing on the battlefield.
I'm not particularly happy with the term "Quiet Quitting." I think that, if someone does the job they are expected to do, at the quality level that is expected of them, for a fair compensation, then that does not count as "quitting."

I think the blame for the current mess the American (and this seems to be mostly an American issue) labor force is in, rests squarely on the managers and executives of corporations.

I don't know if I'm just privileged, but I've never worked with anyone that "just wants to get the day over with." I've always worked with people who are passionate about the work they do, and use that passion to "power through" the parts that don't kindle that passion.

But it's pretty important to help folks to feel good about the work they do, and for the place where they spend 1/3 of their life. You want them to give more than 1/3? Make it worth it to them; and it's not just money (but money is important. It is a visceral signal that you are valued).

I was a first-line manager, for a large portion of my career. I seem to have done a fairly good job of keeping my employees motivated, passionate, and engaged. It took a lot of work and humility, on my part. I was not really supported by my superiors, or the HR department. I spent a great deal of time, shielding my employees from the rapacious nature of HR.

I did work for a company that was run by older, more business-oriented folks. There wasn't a ton of money to be made (we were basically specialized, and Quality-oriented), so our top-level leadership was fairly pragmatic. I am so glad that we weren't run by one of these twenty-something billionaires that can't even understand people that aren't rich, or trying to be rich. That sounds like a nightmare.

As far as "work-life balance," I don't see why young people seem to think older folks value this less.

You want to learn about "balance"? Get married and have kids.
> What "latency" would you like to measure?

How long from user input to pixels changing.

> the latency has to be the same as the builtin GPU to function.

Objectively false.

A few years ago it was very common for Windows laptops with discrete Nvidia GPUs to have increased latency when using the discrete the GPU. The reason is that the frame buffer had to be copied from the discrete GPU to integrated to monitor.

Now maybe this doesn’t matter and you don’t care. But I’d like to know. The fact that it’s rarely done is a serious lack of rigor IMHO.

My intuition is that it varies by chassis. I’d be shocked if they’re all the exact same!

eGPUs are still significantly slower than having the GPU built in. Maybe they’re bottlenecked due to the connection, I dunno. It’s something that I thought would have gotten better in the past four years. But maybe eGPUs are even an worse deal now!
Snarks will do that automatically.
An OS without a web browser is hardly an OS anymore; Microsoft won on that regard (credit to Bill for recognizing that).

But in general if you have something like this, it's often better to let it go where it wanders, even if it never attains the success of Linux, etc. Forcing a restricted scope often leads to burnout which kills it even faster.
Elon's best move is to launch a Twitter-wide cryptocurrency that can be earned through watching advertisements, disabling adblockers, sharing data, and direct dollar swaps. He should create a third-party ecosystem for journalists, vendors and government validated "citizen IDs". All voluntary, but with incentives and benefits.

If people thought the "checkmark" was a big deal just wait. There will be all sorts of tiers of validated personhood which will grant access to things others don't get by being anonymous. It's going to become a private company; and the currency doesn't need to be an open-trustless system; but rather a deanonymized one that won't trade on exchanges and won't be subject to the SEC rules the same way Dave & Busters isn't.

Then, he should open Twitter up to share conversions from coins and sell Twitter back to the people as a people-owned and managed social media giant. He could double his money in less than 24 months.

The first step of course is putting me in charge of the whole damn thing.

"Quiet quitting", because "healthy boundaries and balance" doesn't roll off the tongue quite as smoothly.

Hustle culture is great for those with significant equity, but ultimately happiness comes from within, and work is usually just a stepping stone to finding a sense of purpose beyond making a handful of individuals rich.

Here's to hoping that quiet quitting is merely the beginning.

You are probably not going to get Stable Diffusion to spit out a picture of a car by feeding it pictures of horses.

However, we should not neglect small incremental innovation that is created by combining previously known knowledge in new ways.
To be more precise, it is the combination of web browsers, HTML, JavaScript, and adjacent technologies that are the everything app, but your point stands. You are absolutely right.

Let's be blunt: the elevator pitch for the 'everything app' as «a smartphone application that will deliver everything to everyone on the planet» has already been solved. The pitch that Elon Musk and other tech oligarchs want to solve has an addendum, which the WebBrowser+ ecosystem does not yet[0] satisfy: «a smartphone application that will deliver everything to everyone on the planet [and is under the control of a single entity for its own benefit]»

[0] I say "not yet" because developing a new app from scratch is not the only strategy—see Google trying its best to make Chrome and derivatives the only useful 'everything apps'

Can someone please explain to me how you work 200%?

Does this mean that a person claiming this worked 16 hours days, and then in order to eat, skipped two hours of sleep time, so typically would only get 6 hours of sleep, and no other time off during the week?

Or, that they decided not to see children (who need 10-12 hours of sleep a day, so that would clearly make it impossible to see them if you are not occupied by work except for 8 hours a day, presumably at night), except on the weekends?

And, that they didn't write blogs back then? It takes me two or three hours of total time, and I've never had a job that paid me to write in my personal spaces, so I cannot figure out how I would have done that kind of work. Maybe the kids are optimizing by using Snapchat which takes much less time?
