Meta shareholders don't have much say on how Zuck runs things, that's what you signed up for when you buy Meta shares.

How many people upset about Meta layoffs were equally fierce in condemning Zuck for Meta's stock performance over the last decade? Seems like yet another case of people wanting their cake and eating it too -- the only novelty is the people affected are some of the most privileged people in human history.

It's quite amusing how you make baseless claim after baseless claim, then demand more evidence, besides the evidence you have already conveniently ignored.
Your cognitive dissonance is actually quite mind boggling, you are the one "believing" in a narrative that is convenient for you, while we are the ones making judgments based on evidence, yet you accuse us of what you yourself are actually guilty of.

Even the testimony of the ex-IDF solider testifying that his job was literally to terrorize Palestinians should suffice to refute your false claims, but you can't be bothered to process the evidence because it goes against your preconceived notions.
Companies behind non-dividend paying stocks can own assets and make profits and shareholders own these assets and profits. The value of these assets and profits somehow anchor the stock price, the price can go significantly below reasonable valuation in short time frames, but in a long run market will correct cases where you can buy 100$ worth of assets for 50$.
(also companies often use the profits to buy back own stocks, in which case the price goes up without any people buying)
You don't agree with the tiny sliver of the NSA mission that you know about.

90% of the work they do is purely defensive. The offensive work targets bad actors and foreign governments/militaries, compared to other countries intelligence services that also engage in economic espionage.

In a perfect world they wouldn't need to exist at all. But we don't live in that world.

idk. If this many people were to loose their jobs under my authority, I think I would at the very least loose my job. But perhaps there also ought to be a class action law suite, workers should be able to sue a negligent business leaders that costs them their jobs, similar how a shareholder can sue for lost profits.

But honestly a business leader that screws up so bad, should probably loose all their wealth, like 100%.

Hi, I am the team member working on this. Happy to get your feedback.
It really depends on how much has to be manually counted, and when the manual counting starts.

Most states in the US used to start validating and counting mail-in and early-voting ballots as they came in (keeping the running total confidential), and only release the numbers once the on-day polling was well under way.

But under severe pressure from the "stolen vote" crowd (primarily republicans), most states are now forbidden to start counting these until after polls close, so yeah, it will take days and days to count all the mail-in ballots.

Especially if (as is common these days) a large portion of the electorate votes by mail-in or early ballots.

This is not a big issue if the number of mail-in ballots cannot significantly affect the result - you could "call" the return early - but for close races, yeah, you have to wait until the end.

Especially because the mail-in and early-voting ballots tend to be distributed very differently from day-of-election (walk-in) ballots (demographics, political leanings, etc.)
it feels that way already. Many arguments (if you get into them) can many times just be how well both sides can google something to back them up. At that point you are just arguing with google plus suggestions?
Hello from the GitHub code search team! I'm really proud of this release. It's the result of a year of hard work from multiple teams to bring the custom code search engine we built for cs.github.com to github.com. In the background, we've also spent a lot of time since the launch rebuilding the index format to let us scale up the system.

My colleague Tim Clem will be speaking at GitHub Universe today about some of technical details: https://githubuniverse.com/events/detail/virtual-schedule/49...
This is good news. The obvious suspicion was that Binance would bail out FTX to cover for the fact that Binance aren’t truly solvent themselves- in exactly the same way FTX did with other crypto projects earlier this year. We all know at this point FTX was underwater, so Binance stepping to take a big loss on it would’ve been a strong red flag.
This looks very similar to the internal code search product at Google (called CodeSearch). If the quality of this is going to be anywhere near that of CodeSearch, I would use it every day

Tangentially related recommendation of the video game Heaven's Vault. The main mechanic is the character learning the history of the mysterious fantasy setting through deciphering ancient writing that nobody can read anymore, including the character, from artifacts like ancient combs. You make guesses on words based on context and similarity to other words you've learned, and you can guess wrong. It has a cool nonlinear branching narrative and is worth playing.
Nearly all JS engines are doing concurrent JIT compilation now, so some of the compilation cost is moved off the main thread. Java JITs have had multiple compiler threads for more than a decade.
Almost bought a second home a year ago to get out of (and sell) our starter home. Was looking at houses with a realtor, a few new constructions, etc. Both glad and not glad we didn't buy at the time.

Glad because everything is likely to crash at this point and we would certainly have an underwater mortgage, but not glad because with the more than doubled mortgage rate since we were looking, it'd be stupid to sell our current home and upgrade now (especially with prices still high), so now we feel stuck (granted, stuck in a home with a fairly cheap mortgage payment, so it could be worse, but stuck nonethless).

We also held off on refinancing during the super low mortgage rates, because we were pretty sure we were going to buy a new house so it would have just been wasted money, but now it's obvious it would have saved us some money. I had a feeling that would be the case, but my wife seemed adamant we were going to move last year (until we both got too busy with work), so I held off on pursuing it.
> To me it’s more of an argument towards distributing software in intermediate form (like Apple Bitcode) and compiling on install, tailoring for the current processor.

This turns out to be quite difficult, especially if you're using bitcode as a compiler IL. You have to know what the right "intermediate" level is; if assumptions change too much under you then it's still too specific. And it means you can't use things like inline assembly.

That's why bitcode is dead now.

By the way, I don't know why this thread is about how JITs can optimize programs when this article is about how Rosetta is not a JIT and intentionally chose a design that can't optimize programs.
At least in some cases.

A/B testing lead to the development of effective "dark patterns" in UI that trick users into doing things they don't want or don't understand, and then making it difficult to undo.

Thanks for the info. Good luck!
Does it still only index the primary/default branch of a repository, or can it search within all branches? If it can now, can we filter the search for stuff within the branches of forks for a specific repository?

So many interesting work can only be found manually, laboriously (but is so rewarding) within the explore network graph where people work on their own branches in their own forks. Their code is never found from the search function.
Can you search for special characters, and are large files indexed?
Thank you for reporting this! We'll investigate this further.
I still dont know what you're talking about or if you're just unaware of the data.

"Locally, NAR data showed 38% of single-family properties purchased in Harris County in 2021 were bought by institutional investors. Property data from the Harris County Appraisal District shows nearly 7,000 homes in Harris County as of June are owned by five NRHC members and their subsidiaries."

I'm not taking a black/white approach, as a matter of fact I'm the one pointing out that doesn't make sense.

I asked for reasons for why this tracking is bad, and I got what basically amounts to "all tracking ever is bad", and thus I'm explaining why that "all tracking is black" approach doesn't work.
Not OP but the things OP is saying are well covered in the press, no need to know anyone there.
"Non dividend paying" is a bit of a red herring since companies have started doing buybacks instead (for tax reasons). Ultimately it's the voting rights that can make the company pay dividends.

If you've got a non-voting non-dividend stock .. you might want to ask what you've actually got there.
They allow what is known as "day trading" margins on futures which is usually some small fraction of exchange margin. They have survived for a long time, doesn't mean they won't go under, but they have no qualms about exiting your position if you are going to threaten their risk.
I've always wondered if we could mitigate this issue by burning the spacecraft into a parking orbit around the L2 Lagrange Point on the far side of the moon using conventional propellant, and then beginning detonation there. Irradiating Earth is of course a bad idea, but the Earth Moon L2 point should be plenty far enough away, provides a stable spot from which to begin pulsing in whatever direction they like as the moon orbits, and has the added benefit of the moon itself acting as a shield for the Earth from the radiation.

It doesn't really matter if we irradiate the hell out of the far side of the moon. It's been pelted by solar wind and cosmic radiation since time immemorial. A bit of radiation from a few nukes should be negligible by comparison.
Labor participation is still below pre-pandemic levels.

Most labor numbers are dominated by blue collar or service jobs. They are not fungible with tech labor.
Over-optimizing your "cold" code can also make things worse for the "hot" code, eg by growing code size so much that briefly entering the cold space kicks everything out of caches.
I really don't see the unique value of Facebook on that level, other that keep certain people off other social media platforms.
Exactly. Imagine 2,000 years from now "archaeologists" thinking "rinse, repeat as required" is some kind of ritual incantation on a shampoo bottle.
Market places knows where is your stop loss... You play again them.

It should not be, but it's a scam and unregulated.

I made the painfull experience of it with a future on DJIA in 2009, and it was a regulated market place (CBOT, i think)... I was long because I supposed a reversal of the bear market. I put a stop loss at 8000$ or something. Price went just 1 tick (0.01$) under my stop loss then went up.

It happens market place members (big players or market makers ; you pay to be a market place member which give you some advantages over regular traders) have full visibility of market orders book, but not retail traders. So they have access to your stop loss order. So then can put pressure on prices whatever the direction to force you to close your trade until orders book on one side at a price level is empty and the price can only reverse course.
Outside of gaming, or hyper-CPU-critical workflows like video editing, I'm not really sure if people actually even care about that last 10% of performance.

I know most of the time I get frustrated by everyday software, its doing something unnecessary in a long loop, and possibly forgetting to check for Windows messages too.
No, only good examples from equities please.

And only bad ones from crypto.
Apple is also not tied to reverse compatibility.

Their customers are not enterprise, and consequently they are probably the best company in the world at dictating well-managed, reasonable shifts in customer behavior at scale.

So they likely had no need for Rosetta as of 2009.

It is a nice development, but I will air a gripe here that TfL seems to go to lengths to obscure the average traveler's understanding that you can take Elizabeth line to the airport and save $$.

The departure boards [edit: at Paddington rail station (note, not the tube)] will not label Elizabeth line trains with "Heathrow Airport", the TfL journey planner will not offer it to you unless you actively turn off National Rail options (i.e. Heathrow Express), etc.

This goes all the way back to when it was Heathrow Connect (does anyone remember that? Memories from my grad school days when it was approx. £6), and the fact that it was a continuing service to Heathrow always labeled as a small footnote near the bottom.

I somewhat wonder if they do this out of agreement with Heathrow Express, or more charitably interpreted as not confusing people. Either way it costs people who don't know otherwise.

That too but the eternal riddle of optimizer passes is which ones reveal structure and which obscure it. Do I loop unroll or strength reduce first? If there are heuristics about max complexity for unrolling or inlining then it might be “both”.

And then there’s processor family versus this exact model.

Currently, we index the head of the default branch. However, the index format will support branch indexing, and we use that functionality to index forks, which was not possible in prior incarnations of GitHub code search. Indexing specific commits (e.g., associated with a PR or feature branch) is on our roadmap.
Non dividend paying company stocks are market speculation, not a ponzi.

Cryptocoins, not being part of a circular economy, must, by definition, keep attracting new money to pay for earlier investors. Sounds much like a pyramid.

A more apt analogy would be a public company that does not do any real economic activity and simply issues more shares to cover expenses. Cryptocoins cannot exist without the network running and the only way to cover those expenses is to attract new money without any product. While stock speculation is a zero sum game, cryptocoins are negative sum game. Quite a major difference in my book.
While C++ is indeed a complex beast, mastering the whole of Java, C#, F#, Scala, Python, OCaml, Haskell in their latest versions, standard libraries and changes between major releases isn't any easier.
Yeah that game loop was what I loved too. It was brainless in the ways I enjoyed, made you feel like a Doom Guy. It was as hard as you wanted, in that vein of game. Eternal was a brave subversion that just didn't suit the origins of the franchise. Maybe they won some crossover fans, but I'm not convinced the trade was worth it.
Frames you can find for cheap if you look around a bit. The lenses cost a lot as I need massive amounts of prism (took me a bit of looking around to find an optometrist/eye doctor with equipment that could even measure it as it is outside of the range of normal measuring machines) on both to ensure that my eyes focus on the same point

The amount of prism is now to the point that adding more is not really possible and thus if it gets worse next step is surgery on the muscles controlling the eyes or intentionally letting one eye look away. Over time the brain starts to ignore the other eye for focused vision (it would still get used for peripheral vision)

But yeah without the prism the lenses are like 30€. Once you add prisms the lenses are around 350€.
Does it dedup?
One feature for code search that I've wanted for some time that could unlock some really interesting results would be to allow search to reach into the git file history.

I've found myself sometimes thinking that something existed in a particular codebase and I go to look for only to discover that I'm unable find it. Then, I realize that the code I was looking for has been removed. I can only find it by browsing back into the history figuring out the events that led to the deletion or change. Being able to search the history would be killer IMO.

Value is entirely subjective, a starving man in the desert will value water over gold.
That’s an interesting take.

I would add that while you don’t necessarily need your life to have a purpose, having a job (or hobbies) that have a purpose is important.
Whether the purpose is helping others, knowledge, money… just find something that has meaning to you.

That wasn’t the original poster’s question though, but Thought it would be a nice precision.
Extremely interesting to see how this will end. IIRC, Alameda research had a huge position in FTT which will presumably go under now.

There is no standard for what a file is. It is turtles all the way down.

Not a scholar, but Lebanese background and the words on that comb are what we still use today:

"The first word is the root natash which serves like in Hebrew – to root out," he explains. The Canaanite word for hair is se'ar, the same as in all semitic languages"

We would use natash, or to "t'natsh" as the word to root/pull out
And Shaer, is hair

So looks like like someone wrote the instruction manual on the product. Best place to be honest :)

Will this saturate the market for all open programming/software engineering positions? No.

Will it disturb the market for engineers expecting to make $500k/yr 2 years out of school? Absolutely. But most tech stocks being down 50%+ YTD had already done that.

I think there's going to be a lot more layoffs announced from far more companies over the next 6-12 months. I think all of those people will be able to find jobs, but I think many of them will have to settle for significant pay cuts. The insane TCs driven by an inflated stock market that were seen in certain markets/from certain companies are certainly going away for a long while.

Personally, I wish that people in our industry would push for a larger base salary-based comp and less stock-based.

> take advantage of every trick they can for specific CPUs

Not to the extent clang and gcc do, no. V8 does, e.g. use AVX instructions and some others if they are indicated to be available by CPUID. TurboFan does global scheduling in moving out of the sea of nodes, but that is not machine-specific. There was an experimental local instruction scheduler for TurboFan but it never really helped big cores, while measurements showed it would have helped smaller cores. It didn't actually calculate latencies; it just used a greedy heuristic. I am not sure if it was ever turned on. TurboFan doesn't do software pipelining or unroll/jam, though it does loop peeling, which isn't CPU-specific.
Content is deduplicated, yes.
That's not an audit, it's an attestation. The article says:
