Nothing interesting will be reliably funded over the next 5-ish years given the current macroeconomics.

If we’re talking about where the opportunities (jobs) are going to be, then you’re probably looking at tech roles within non-tech companies. These companies have been dying to modernize but haven’t been able to hire engineers due to the tech bubble.

After that, tooling that enables non-technical companies to build software - whatever that looks like.
While many are commenting that these layoffs are sensible given the situation, I am fearful that laying off approximately 13% of Meta employees will lead to a less connected world. I don’t think people fully understand the magnitude of step-backwards it will be in terms of people connecting in this world. Does Zuckerberg take responsibility for what this will mean to people who simply need to connect more through great products developed by Facebook and future technologies being developed by Meta?
First, while the death rates were highest among the oldest people there are still a ton of people who were not close to death anyway. It’s also not true that losing older people is necessarily neutral - economies do better when money circulates, not when it’s tied up in a lump sum going into someone’s retirement account.

Note also that I mentioned people who were impacted but not killed. Again, there are millions of people in prime economic years who became substantially less productive - and someone in their 20s or 30s might be missing key career steps which will lock in much of that permanently. Similarly, there are millions of people who stopped working or started working less to care for the previous groups. All of those have a significant economic impact.

Finally, maritime shipping wasn’t shut down, certainly not for “years”. It was significantly disrupted by the disease but that wasn’t a policy choice.

Air travel (notably not cargo) was restricted for months, not years at the global scale, but it also bounced back quickly thanks to heavy government support in most countries. I don’t think it would be enough to explain the economy on its own as a lot of business went virtual and people found domestic outlets for the money they’d have spent on international travel.

Finally, I’m not saying that there was absolutely no impact from policy but rather that some people have had a tendency to blame policy more than the actual disease, or ignore the benefits from those choices. We saw this a lot with groups like restaurant owners where lifting safety measures didn’t improve business as much as they’d hoped because many of their customers didn’t want to engage in high-risk activities, or especially when their outspoken political positions drove people to competitors. In many ways this is natural: people want to believe things could have been better by choice because then they can imagine it being better if they were in charge.
People like Sequoia and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan who invested tens of millions into FTX last year, and whose investment is most likely worthless now?

Smart people make bad investments too, often out of FOMO.
It doesn’t help that Java’s default configuration is to cache DNS entries forever for “security”[0]. Any long running server that makes external requests will eventually hit an issue where one their dependencies no longer works because DNS has changed and the TTL is ignored. I’ve seen this bite teams for 15 years and it will probably keep doing so well into the future.

Amazingly there's people moaning at them about the price in their Twitter announcement.
Most luxuries are a blip on the map at the scale these types work at, especially when hundreds of millions is considered the "low".
I think you're also not asking the question of "how many people are there"? Someone else mentioned North Sentinel Island, which has "between 50 and 100" people, well which is it? Do you send them 50 or 100 dollars?
Even if the DNS update is available to an end user, if you're using HTTP2 then web browsers will keep the connection to the old IP address until they receive a GOAWAY frame.
>And there is definitely survivorship bias. When you survey people about their psychological state, you only survey the ones who aren't too dead to respond

What is the correlation to outcomes? Are you saying a negative outlook correlates to higher survivability so we are primed to view everything through a more negative lens?

That makes sense from an evolutionary psychology point of view, but doesn’t explain why we the well being wanes rather than just stays low from the onset.
I mean, that's a rather extreme example. It's hard to say how I'd react in that situation, I'd probably feel uncomfortable and mumble and try to get out of the conversation, lol.
Programming and math do not require the same thinking techniques.

American companies today don't need the protection. They are better companies.

With China now using state imbalances to fund their tech sector, restrictions will be needed. You can't compete with free stuff backed by a foreign state.
If I put on my rose colored glasses, I still wish Facebook had just stuck to identity.

They could’ve been “the login for the social internet”… they even built that platform! They just were so paranoid about losing control of the graph they shut it all down. Twitter also failed on the developer/platform front for the same reason.

They could’ve been the identity platform for every hot startup in the last 10 years. They could’ve courted developers such that every platform add-on they did got immediate head start… like ads! They could’ve out-AdSensed Adsense.

Anyway, I’m sure that’s all terrible business strategy, but it’s what I wish they had done. Even though I’d probably be cursing their name now if they owned all of our logins.
Yes, sadly all browser's just trust Google even when Google has shown that they don't care about false positives.
Trying to get everything is why C++11 wasn't c++07. The committee spend several years trying to polish things instead of doing a new release. (the committee thought they weren't allowed to release anything before 06/07, otherwise some of what was in C++11 could have been in C++01 - or maybe c++03 but with more in it). Eventually you need to say stop right here, what is done is what we will release, what isn't done will have to wait.
No it's not. Well it started out that way, but libgen is 7TB, zlibrary added another 16TB to that, which was not shared in the way libgen is.

> The JIT still performs better, but the AOT code starts up faster.

I should update that side note because a lot of things has changed. It should probably say something like:

> Theoretically, Dart VM JIT should have best peak performance, while Dart VM AOT has best startup time. In reality the comparison is quite complicated. AOT has seen a lot of work in the last few years, which made it faster than JIT in some aspects e.g. both direct and highly polymorphic method calls are usually faster in AOT. JIT's peak performance has been languishing in a state of neglect, but it still runs circles around AOT in some cases due to aggressive inlining.

Something like this.

> You only see top programmers who started as kids and probably won some Olympiads and programming competitions, and this continued in their 20s and maybe kept their skill up till 30s but that's about it. What do they do after that?

I know in mathematics, winning the math olympiad makes someone far more likely to win the Fields medal, but I haven't heard of a similar correlation in programming (e.g. for the Turing award).

I don't see how being a young prodigy gives someone an advantage in most of the programming world.
Yah I know, it's the torrents on that site I was talking about.
Right, but those are generally going to be on worse terms than you can get in a negotiated loan from someone who knows your entire business. So it doesn’t make much sense to negotiate an FTT loan and then use that as collateral for a less-informed loan from a smart contract.

It would be like getting a personal loan from a bank, buying jewelry with it, and then using the jewelry to get a pawn loan — a dubious strategy, since the terms on the first loan are going to be much better.
It is more fun to work with people that love the work they are doing, who get jazzed up on covering all the corner cases and really good test suites and efficient use of a computer. People who will listen to tech talk for ten minutes and then act like they are thinking, “how will this get me director or VP by thirty” are less engaged and less fun.

I can't imagine these sort of layoffs, which are baked into the lifecycle and business plans of the company, were not something he wasn't anticipating years and years ago when hiring was being ramped up. In fact some notable fraction of these 11,000 were hired in the first place only to be fired, by design.

Sweet dreams.
In 2000, some Hi Tech companies laid off 50%, e.g. Motorola, Meta now has 1 out of 8 laid off, seems a lot, might not be enough in the end though.

Basically OP says that overfitting is a common pitfall, you don't want to overtrain the model, because then everything will look like your training data, and vice versa with not enough training steps. So it's a bit of a balance. If you search for "dreambooth" on the SD subreddit, you will see a lot of examples of dreambooth results and also some that show overfitted and underfitted results. https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/search?q=dreambooth...
> 3. `htonl` are not standardized, so they were not part of the C++ standard library.

I was questioning the motivation of this to facilitate network-byte-order issues as stated in the blog post. The proposal[1] (that the post linked to) also confirmed that the motivation was to expose more machine code intrinsics rather than deal with network byte order like I expected.

Concerning 1.) yeah, I guess I'd prefer a #pragma aesthetically, but didn't think about the fact that it wouldn't be exposed to the compiler.

Thanks for the well thought out reply!

Systemd is a bit of a joke in some areas: binary logs for instance. So praising systemd at all often invokes scorn. That being said, ‘containing stuff’ is one area it actually does really well.

Two other excellent comments have covered the meat and potatoes of it, so I will just add a few things because they are spot on.

What does right is it allows you to very specifically set ports allowed, cpu/mem limits, filesystem access limits, read-only paths, read/write Paths, chroot, private devices, private network, and many more for any single generic program: you can contain anything. We add authbind to the mix to allow for binding to lower ports. All of the spawned processes are visible from the host system using regular normal unix tools.

What does even better than Docker is _not_ downloading third party code/programs from a repository. This is a much smaller footprint and allows for much easier inspection. You _can_ if you want, use systemd-nspawn which will give you a completely private deb-bootstrap, sorta mirroring what Docker does, but in my opinion that’s not necessary and increases the amount of things you need to update.

Taking a salary cut. Loosing unvested options. Fewer grants going forward.

Financial penalties that incentivize him to not fuck up again.
Also… pay should reflect the value you add, not be a measure of your household expenses. If companies can afford to pay HCOL rates it’s because the employee is generating enough value to be worth that salary. They’d generate the same value if they lived in the boonies, and the company doesn’t magically become unable to afford it.

Let’s not let the industry trick us all into major pay cuts, eh?
Good. Let crypto scam money somewhere else.
We can dream, but somehow I suspect that the "painful choices" Hunt warns of will fall more on the North.
> Because some people go through TOR to browse regular non-onion web sites

They still go through the onion circuit.

I agree with the GP, distinction you're trying to make is unclear - Tor is a browser that uses onion circuits to access the web, including onion sites. Without onion, Tor is just another flavor of Firefox.
If you look back at those people who went to switch into mba - did it pan out for them?

Then you have corporations like the previous one I worked at, which had a terrible 1 week pay per year you've worked there, capped at 4 weeks pay.

I know someone who had worked there for 17 years that got laid off and only got 4 weeks because of it.

They never got around to laying me off, I ended up quitting much later than I should have.
This might be satire, but in case it isn't: there are plenty of very rich people that are very dumb. And plenty of brilliant people that are destitute. This disparity is even moreso skewed in industries like finance, which tends to favor luck way more than, e.g., in startup land where you need things like customers and product market fit, so "faking it until you make it" is much harder.

Most of the "investment" that companies like OpenSea/FTX/etc. have been getting is pure gambling by the likes of a16z and other institutional investors. There's no traditional "exit" to pursue here, and the whole strategy is essentially a pump and dump (often involving arcane tokenomics) where VCs dump on retail and make 10-100x returns.

There's no technology, no value, hardly any users, and if you're not sure who the sucker is, it's probably you.

I have loved Daft Punk for a long time, but one day I wanted to learn more about Aphex Twin and IDM in general and I must say it's an acquired taste. It's like getting into whiskeys.

There are still some tracks that are impenetrable, but I've been enjoy this album and the works of Squarepusher a lot. Squarepusher has such a wide range of sounds it might be a better gateway drug. I love the unapologetic electronic, artificial, synthetic feel of these two artists.

These were my ways into the genre:

- Aphex Twin - T69 Collapse (https://youtu.be/SqayDnQ2wmw) (as someone said "it's like jacking into cyberspace, but the RAR is corrupted")

- This album

- Squarepusher - Terminal Slam (https://youtu.be/GlhV-OKHecI)

- Squarepusher - Hello Everything (album)

In general many genres outside of pop are an acquired taste. If they were easy to get into, they would be called pop. You just need to find a way in, even if you decide it's not for you.

Crypto is a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. This is because the poor is hoping to get rich quick. But the rich has all the inside information in an unregulated environment as well as the ability to pump and dump.

Occasionally, someone poor makes money and tells his friends about his new lambo - hoping to get others into the scam/ponzi.

Well, I did make a conscious decision to hold off on videos about LiveView (and part of my book) due to the frequent breaking changes in the LiveView series I did back in 2019.

Technique videos are actually far more useful than a book, you can actually see the exercise being performed and copy that action.
Three huge assumptions here -

"health system collapse" was the inevitable outcome of any other approach to dealing with Covid.

"health system collapse" is worse than all of the other present and future side-effects, including the effects of denying healthcare to huge numbers of people over the past 2.5 years.

"health system collapse" didn't happen anyway. At least where I am (UK), it's increasingly clear that our response to Covid has blown open all of the existing cracks, and it's hard to say that we "saved" the NHS.
During the dot-com days, you could get a job if you can fog a mirror and turn on a PC. Now you typically need to get a degree to get your foot in the door so at least there is a vested interest. (Not to say there aren’t talented people without degrees.) I think the OP is talking about getting rid of some of the dead weight. We’ve all worked with someone who coasts along and wonder how the hell they have a job in the first place.
Nice to see new tooling around multi/meta searching. It is a great idea to implement it as an extension, because that way you act as the current user while protecting their privacy.

(Edited for clarity)
Were you around the dot com crash? It was much worse than what is going on, layoffs happened left and right. But the future would have never been better for tech jobs. So no, incorrect to say anything for sure.

There is no such government or governmental system that would actually work like that.

Yes, I am confused on this point as well.

By this logic, it sounds like all forms of hotlinking would be illegal, not just fonts but images, js, css, etc. How does a modern website operate under this law? Are there other options besides: 1. locally hosted resources, 2. an annoying consent popup ?
