At least for JavaOS and Singularity there were a bunch of problems:

1. They were primarily research OS', Singularity was never even meant to be used at all. Its successor Midori was, but again it never made it outside of MS. JavaOS was sort of targeted at embedded devices but again never had any real usage.

2. Operating systems are ideally very tightly programmed with minimal overhead. Given a choice between elegance and performance, people pick the latter. A slow app can be optimized but if your kernel/drivers are slow then you're often stuck. Whether it's microkernels or operating systems written in managed languages, these better designs sell performance to buy convenience for the implementors, but convenience for users is more important.

3. Midori tried to fix this but ended up spending all its design budget on trying to turn C# into C++ and do fashionable things with concurrency/thread safety, which isn't a compelling basis for an OS. Plan9 at least had features that were interesting for the actual users of the computer, but the Singularity/Midori approach was mostly just a PL nerdout.

Single address space operating systems have some design issues that have never been well addressed, or at least the solutions didn't seem convincing. Unfortunately OS research is stagnant so very little has changed over time.

For example, they need everything to be written in a single (GCd/managed) language, and so existing C/C++ libraries can't be used (without a win3.1 style stability model at least). But the VM itself is written in C/C++, so the first step is to either switch the entire model to AOT compilation (the MS approach) or to write the language VM in the language itself (the Sun approach, which eventually surfaced in real products in the form of GraalVM). The Graal approach seems to solve this problem by being able to run any kind of language on top fot the JVM, even C/C++ code, and it can run it safely/GCd.

Another problem is the question of what exactly replaces a process. Processes in classical operating systems do a lot of different things - sandboxing, data isolation, scheduling, but also things like defining a failure domain. The big advantage of a single address space OS is you can allocate objects and then just pass them around freely without needing all the IPC/serialization/socket bindings/etc stuff that classical kernels require. So the obvious approach is to just not have such a thing as a process - but if you do that, you hit the question of how to manage executing code. What's the equivalent of SIGKILL if you don't have a process? What does a CPU usage graph look like? What happens if a driver does a callback into a piece of code which then deadlocks? This problem combined with the difficulty of finding a one-size-fits-all garbage collection algorithm pushes SAS operating systems towards reintroducing a process-like concept, for instance the Singularity process equivalent was actually way more constraining than a UNIX process, and objects could no longer be passed around freely between subsystems but instead required a convoluted exchange heap + quasi-RPC approach.

Haha, well it seems that overlooking the ruin probability is exactly what was missing from both SBF's effective altruism 'life calculus', as well as the risk management in his fund. It appears that he really inhaled the EV thinking that he learnt at Jane Street and took it to the extreme - and the outcome was exactly what basic stochastic process theory would have predicted.

That was really insightful, thanks for sharing that anecdote! The whole story would be worthy of a Greek tragedy - rise and fall of a kid blessed with an almost supernatural gift, with just a tiny yet catastrophic flaw - the proverbial Achilles heel.

Don't count on it. Most work in the US is "at-will" employment. Either you or the employer may terminate at any time without cause or obligation.

Very few people actually have work contracts. The agreement you probably signed to accept your job is about your obligations and the company rules. It doesn't promise you can work at home.

Having said that, it's shitty of Elon and stupid, too.

In a VC portfolio there is little difference between a 0x or a 3x return. Virtually all the returns come from the handful of 100x returns that make the entire fund. All the other companies combined have little impact

Side note that the 3x return companies are the biggest headache to manage (founder feuds, recruiting another vp of sales, etc). The 0x and 100x companies are much easier

>Is this normal? I would assume that no bank has 100% liquid assets against liabilities

Banks are required by law to have regulatory capital[1] and reserves[2] in order to stay liquid and solvent.

Longer explanation: "The reserves only provide liquidity to cover withdrawals within the normal pattern. Banks and the central bank expect that in normal circumstances only a proportion of deposits will be withdrawn at the same time, and that the reserves will be sufficient to meet the demand for cash. However, banks routinely find themselves in a shortfall situation or may experience an unexpected bank run, when depositors wish to withdraw more funds than the reserves held by the bank. In that event, the bank experiencing the liquidity shortfall may routinely borrow short-term funds in the interbank lending market from banks with a surplus. In exceptional situations, the central bank may provide funds to cover the short-term shortfall as lender of last resort. When the bank liquidity problem exceeds the central bank’s lender of last resort resources, as happened during the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, the government may try to restore confidence in the banking system, for example, by providing government guarantees[2]."

If commercial bank is in trouble other commercial banks will try to help but if they can not help, central bank will try to help and if that is not possible government will step in.

All in all, banking industry is tightly regulated and somewhat safe especially after 2007 fiasco.

In the case of FTX, Binance said they would step in but they gave up. If FTX is profitable they can gradually loan money from private sector(banks, investment funds etc.) then start to repay their liabilities and eventually return loans.

Well, most of the world uses Windows (not a UNIX), macOS/iOS (owes more to NextSTEP than UNIX) and Android (owes more to BeOS than UNIX). The latter two use a UNIX kernel to get basics like scheduling and a filesystem but the userland APIs look nothing like UNIX or Linux, and both have a strong micro-kernelish vibe to them with Mach and the Binder respectively.

Personally, I don't like the use of indexing to determine the JSON structure (like this `<input name="foo[0][1]">`). I think it's way more powerful to derive the JSON structure from the DOM tree. That's why I wrote some code to do exactly that: https://gist.github.com/mjepronk/5b33eaa90ecf11a5c2c47935a2c...

The use of `<fieldset>` and `<section>` may not be the best choice. You could use `data-` attributes on arbitrary tags for instance.

Well, I make no bones about the fact I loved the Queen. So take this with as much salt as you think you need, but I honestly think that there isn't really a better solution than what we have. Queen Elizebeth did not want the role of monarch. She literally prayed to God when she found out that she was in the direct line of succession. She asked for a brother, so she wouldn't have this heavy burden of responsibility.

If we want a single, final, sole, human decision maker I do not see how we can accomplish this without a monarchy that doesn't come with the massive downsides of attracting those that have a lust for power. That the monarchy is essentially toothless in all but the most dire circumstances is a feature not a bug.

It's like the folks in the military that get slated to man the nuclear weapons silos. Very few want the job because they know that they're only need in the very rare circumstance where the whole world is on the line.

It's illiquid power.

As for the rest of it, the holdings, etc. I looked at the Queen as essentially a guardian of nature and an encourager of those in the military, intelligence and of the many charities that exist across The Common Wealth. Yes, she had many fancy dinners, but we got more than what we paid for. Whether encouraging a single little girl to become a doctor when she grows up or slapping a good-hearted wealthy guy on the back when he donates a colossal fortune to helping orphans the return on investment is obvious. Fifteen minutes of her time yielded (and continues to yield) tremendous return.
Seems like they were offering leverage, which plenty financial businesses besides banks do (such as brokers) and has the same effect.

Technically, the problem you're restricting to cryptocurrencies is actually something finance as a whole just deal with.

Everyone could withdraw all their money at the same time. What happens then? The answer is bank run. There will literally not be enough cash to do it. The entire system is running on the fact that everyone has not done that yet.

Personally, I want to have it happen, just to force the system to come to terms with the fact that it isn't all just about numbers, and so that people can actually materially witness the sheer magnitude of monetary centralization created by our system.

Patrol officers today are police AND crisis responders, mental health crisis managers, family dispute de-escalators, critical medical care responders, victim counselors, etc. And they switch hats many times a day & then go home to their own difficulties. They do all this for - on average - $60k per year. They enjoy increased suicide risk, increase risk of work-related disability and injury, increased risk of divorce, and so on.

If there were ever a profession in American that deserved more resource and less responsibility (or diversification of staffing) its police. Instead we ask too much, cut funding and criticize the outcomes.

I think modern AI or for that matter engineering is fairly broken model for how the human brain or the human body works; and lead to these silly conclusions: It is easy to make a machine that adds two numbers therefor adding numbers cannot be "cognitive hard". Likewise it is easy to make a machine that runs fast, lifts a heavy object or stands one leg therefore ...

As for the most challenging activity for keeping sharp at old age: My guess is directly interacting with other people.

But if you think lifting weights work for you, then I am not going to argue against you.
I don't think the $213M loss on FTX is going to impact anything. It's not a strategic amount of money to funds of that size.

I might refine the question along the lines of, do losses in a given fund put pressure on the GP's appointed board members in their other companies in the same vintage or with the same participating LP's - to cause the CEOs to align their strategies toward nearer term exits - and if that strategy shifts, how does it affect staff in those companies?

Though it's true that "companies aren't sold, they are bought," I could tell you how companies under different kinds of market pressures and investment structures tend to make product and engineering decisions and what those incentives do to the culture, but that's outside the scope of whether this particular loss creates enough systemic risk that it could ripple out into their other portfolio companies.

> You don't even need to trust them. The compiler checks that their Map is the same as what you call a Map.

Sort of. I think the person I was replying to was indicating that the implementation could be wrong and still match the type signature. As a simple example, `insert` could return the exact same Map object as was passed in (rather than one that has the key updated) and still match the type signature of `insert`.

On the whole you're right, because if your standard data structures are that bad you should really be using a different language, not choosing to ignore types because they might not be helpful this time.

One way out of this is to not join a gym but learn exercises that you can do anywhere (e.g https://blog.paleohacks.com/how-to-work-out-with-no-equipmen... ). And be forgiving towards yourself too - forgot to exercise for a day or a week, fine - some days are just shitty in our life - just do one exercise today (motivation follows actions). You don't have to do the full sets of exercise, if you don't feel like it. Just focus on doing one exercise (action is the fuel required to power your motivation). Enjoy the feeling. And continue again everyday.

Well, to be fair Qt Core, Gui and Widgets can du much more than ST-80; there are more platform abstractions, things like threads and unicode, more and more powerful widgets, more powerful font and 2d drawing, etc.; it's not just the same functionality with a different number of SLOC.
