why would you squash multiple informative commits with their commit messages and their informative context about your thought process into a single big squashed commit? git can merge branches and keep track of it, there is no need to squash unless you split trivial changes that belong together and want to group them before sharing them

It depends on what the JIT does exactly, but in general yes a JIT may be able to make optimisations that a static compiler won't be aware of because a JIT can optimise for the specific data being processed.

That said, a sufficiently advanced CPU could also make those optimisations on "static" code. That was one of the things Transmeta had been aiming towards, I think.

Some of the original Bell Labs Unix people have a very austere view of the Unix philosophy.

In their view, it all started to go wrong -- Unix began to depart from the founding principles -- as early as 1978. In their view, Berkeley Unix does not follow their Unix philosophy -- they don't like network sockets, for example, whose design was mostly imported from some earlier non-Unix system (maybe Tenex?).

Some of this attitude appears in Rob Pike's 'Good, Bad and Ugly' talk from 2001 [1]. He says the early Unix tools approach had, by then, already been replaced for most users by big do-everything programs: Emacs, Perl, browsers...

On the other hand some optimization are so expensive that a JIT just doesn't have the execution budget to perform them.

Probably the optimal system is an hybrid iterative JIT/AOT compiler (which incidentally was the original objective of LLVM).

The new badge doesn't include any ID verification. It just indicates you are a subscriber to Twitter Blue. The old badge will look different but operate the same way as old verification. So, in effect, the new badge is just flair on a more expensive, less featureful version of Twitter Blue.

There are an estimated 100,000 current Twitter Blue subscribers and an estimated 400,000 verified accounts. If they all buy the new Twitter Blue for $8/month it will be $48 million in revenue. (And may actually lose Twitter money after app store cut from Google and Apple and with diminished advertising for those users.)

It's confusing, poorly implemented, and not likely to impact the bottom line.

Even if they kept all the revenue, didn't lose out on add sales, and the program cost nothing to implement and maintain, they would need 11 million subscribers every year just to pay the interest on the loans Musk used to buy Twitter. (11 mil * $96 = 1.06 bil)

Probably better to focus on the advertisers.

I'm sorry, you could make this case about some kinds of telemetry, but specifically not A/B testing. Speaking from work experience: A/B testing doesn't look into the nuances of usability or productivity, it looks at easy-to-quantify metrics like conversion rates and money spent. These metrics rarely align with a better experience for the user (outside of like, prettier buttons and stuff), and instead tend to result in less-informative, less-agentic software (information and choice often distract from conversions!)

Bitcoin is hard to wedge into DeFi, so the yields he was talking about were probably on centralized exchanges. He was likely even referring to Celsius, which has since popped. What has changed since then is DeFi tools like Thorchain single sided vault deposits that let people earn yield on Bitcoin without giving up custody. Unsurprisingly Erik has been one of the most vocal proponents of Thorchain itself.

For a really quick summary, Thorchain provides Uniswap style liquidity pools such as BTC/RUNE that allow people to do one shot trades that can be routed across major blockchains, and liquidity providers collect fees on every trade. Typically liquidity providers are also exposed to RUNE due to the nature of how XYK liquidity works. These new vaults are special because they lack RUNE exposure, but they are also only allowed to make up something like 10% of the liquidity pool, so deposits are limited.

I've been incredibly vocal about how anything promising >10% yields is a scam. It's the reason I built ponzi.finance (which never got popular, but was fun while it lasted). Yields greater than 10% are always either temporary, or straight up fraud. I'd still tend to agree with Erik though that your claim that you can't earn yield on BTC was incorrect, though the counter-party risk at the time was not ideal. Counter-party risk is, of course completely unavoidable in legacy finance systems, and the overhead costs to properly mitigate it are (IMO) unsustainable in a world with easily accessible DeFi tooling.
Ask HN: Projector and DRM?
I have been using Firefox with my Epson projector to watch legally purchased movies from Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Hulu, etc. After what I suppose is a recent update, the DRM has caused my movies to just display as a gray screen with sound only. This happened before on Safari but never on Firefox. I was able to plug the projector into an HDMI and get it to work, as opposed to watching it wirelessly over the projector's WiFi casting capability. Why is this legitimate use case being blocked by DRM?

> keep data in EU cloud regions if possible

I'm still not convinced this is enough. The US "CLOUD Act" can force employees of a company to pull data even when hosted in foreign countries. If an ops engineer technically can give themselves access they can be forced to do so by the US federal government. That is my understanding anyway.
How about a non-cynical answer. Software does not have effectively zero marginal cost per copy. It does have zero manufacturing cost per copy, however support is quite an expensive on-going cost. When you have a presence in multiple markets, you need localized support for different languages, and that is even more expensive. When you have different costs in different markets, you encourage users in more expensive markets to try and game the system, to minimize their costs. This sets up a potentially adversarial relationship with your users, and is mostly non-productive.

In the end this is a professional software suite, and running a business has some fixed costs. By comparison, Adobe's suite would cost much more per year.

It's more the case that the ahead-of-time compilation is suboptimal.

Modern compilers have a thing called PGO (Profile Guided Optimization) that lets you take a compiled application, run it and generate an execution profile for it, and then compile the application again using information from the profiling step. The reason why this works is that lots of optimization involves time-space tradeoffs that only make sense to do if the code is frequently called. JIT only runs on frequently-called code, so it has the advantage of runtime profiling information, while ahead-of-time (AOT) compilers have to make educated guesses about what loops are the most hot. PGO closes that gap.

Theoretically, a JIT could produce binary code hyper-tailored to a particular user's habits and their computer's specific hardware. However, I'm not sure if that has that much of a benefit versus PGO AOT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

> The memoranda, signed in Patria Hall at the Budapest Convention Center with US Ambassador Donald M. Blinken amongst others in attendance, prohibited the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, "except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations." As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.

There's no reason to believe any new one would be better respected by Russia; it'd be just an opportunity for Russia to rest, rearm, and invest in propaganda efforts.
Few notes and stream of consciousness.

As a naturalized USA citizen with Russian citizenship, this war has been on my mind 100% of the time since it started.

My brother (in Russia) is as they say "Zed-turbo-patrioting" and I am (in USA) horrified at the elaborate seppuku my former country is committing, it's like a (not a very slow train wreck). And my cousin is trying to send me her teenage son so him the hell out of there. Challenging family dynamic to say the least.

The Russian army is a clay-legged colossus. All the money for it's weapons has been stolen and turned into fancy real estate and shiny yachts and parked offshore. Rusty AKs, WW2 era artillery, and purchases of Iranian (!?!) weapons? WTF!

If China wants to go help itself to a chunk of Siberia, nobody is going to be able to stop it.

Regardless of who controls the USA chambers of power, the support of Ukraine will continue, whether financial or via weapons. The money USA and the west has spent on this war is an INCREDIBLY GREAT bargain, I mean, it's f*ng cents on the dollar to utterly annihilate the historical strategic enemy AND! not spend a single soldier? It's brilliant. And the weapons are getting tested. It's like a public field test of superiority of western weapons, the world is watching, and there will not be any Russian weapon system sales anymore...

Do you think that Meta could be worth 273 billion, and yet promulgate a false, inaccurate or misleading mission statement? Perhaps, but it would not seem like it would instill much confidence in the company leadership.
It's a matter of degree and kind.

There's also a neat sleight of hand here. Your inventor of the wheel surely tested multiple variants to optimize for the utility of his invention to the user. The A/B testing that's problematic is about optimizing taking advantage of the user. That doesn't lead to better experience, but the opposite. This is what's increasingly popular, and this is what people complain about or want to see banned.

Related: attention economy is predicated on bad user experience, because it makes money from friction.
My first Mac was a used 400MHz G4 that I picked up in 2002. At the time it was a spare machine next to my Intel PC running Linux. I put (brand new at the time) Mac OS X 10.1 Puma on it, mainly so I could compare the experience of using the two OSs side by side.

The Mac experience was just so smooth compared to the desktop Linux experience. I've been using Mac exclusively since 2003, and it was all due to that free used G4 tower.
By "the story" do you mean the OP of this thread? It doesn't read like that to me.

HN comments are for substantive, curious conversation.
You should probably educate yourself, this comment is plain stupid. Support for Ukraine is bi-partisan, and if you would spend 5 minutes out of the echo chamber and look at the facts and voting record, you would see how ignorant you are of reality.

Any of the debates have been on the _method_ and _extent_ of support, not _whether or not to support_. Both red and blue have had objections to types of aide being sent for legit national security concerns (for instance, classified fire control systems on 155mm artillery).
I think I landed in a place where it's basically "the compiler has insufficient information to achieve ideal optimization because some things can only be known at runtime."

Which is not exclusively an argument for runtime JIT— it can also be an argument for instrumenting your runtime environment, and feeding that profiling data back to the compiler to help it make smarter decisions the next time. But that's definitely a more involved process than just baking it into the same JavaScript interpreter used by everyone— likely well worth it in the case of things like game engines, though.

I will agree it's hollow in that it is story of an experiment not a specific real world situation. :-)

You are right that in families everyone gets a role. Unlike business you don't join a family at will, you're born into it and roles are very fixed.

Companies are much more dynamic and our roles (formal and informal) change. We also work "at will" and can change companies, teams and colleagues.

There are different types of leadership roles. As you say, one type gets through the bad stuff. Others do really well when times are good. Some only in certain situations.

In tech, where the nature of work and expertise needed day to day, week to week, can vary a lot at times, a variety of leadership capabilities and styles, along with the universal ability to give a shit about colleagues, makes for an awesome team.
I think this is an overly ameri-centric take. There are a lot of factors impacting this war, and sure the composition of the US Congress is one of them, but it is fairly insignificant. A much bigger factor in deciding the war is how successful Russian mobilization is/was/will be, and the political costs to doing a partial mobilization. Another factor would be the sales of arms from Iran to Russia, and whether they can be used to real tactical effect beyond the terror-bombing we've seen thus far.
The article actually said they were empowered by management to act as the Architecture Board.

Had they come up with an actual workable solution, I seriously doubt it would be career limiting. In the context of the article, that statement was made about not fixing the problem but just saying it couldn't be done. Not finding a solution is what is career limiting.

Circling back to what you originally commented about on, i could have just told them the software they bet on was crap. I would be right, but it would have been “career limiting.” If you can actually focus your energy on a solution, maybe you won’t get the ego boost by showing everyone how right you are, but you can move the ball forward in a meaningful way.

I do think it's telling that the author viewed being given authority as a subversive act. That sounds much more like somebody who's interested in pointing fingers than taking responsibility to solve problems.
