i'm an amateur drummer, i never fully grasped ahead / behind formally, all I know is that when I practice patterns, there are times where a mishap causing a slight delay will confuse my brain into feeling an acceleration (like sense of time being borked for a second).. I wonder if they play around that sensation.

Bugs definitely grow super-linearly, at least exponentially. They scale with the number of interactions between lines, which grows exponentially. (That, in turn, scales with the number of unforeseen-behavior-we-don't-like, which is generally what is meant by a "bug".)

To be sure, well-written code decouples the different components so that distant pairs of lines interact as little as possible, and thus it's more difficult for unforeseen constellations of factors to arise. Well-written code also minimizes the possible values that are used and have to behave correctly. But all else equal, it will be exponential.

Your intuition is correct, that you can significantly reduce bugs by splitting an N-size code-base into two N/2-size code bases. But there's only so much you can split it down while achieving the desired functionality. Plus, there's overhead to constantly switching between codebases.
Patrick McKenzie makes the usual smart person mistake of trusting their intuition on finance because it has served them well in other domains.

In this case the pertinent question to ask oneself a priori is: "if, as I believe, tether breaks down what are the chances that people will be defaulting on Defi platforms thus turning my clever trade in a catastrophe where I lose my principal?"

This is what traders call "wrong way risk" - your trade becomes self-defeating. An example.od this from real life is JPY cross currency basis swaps. A cross currency basis swap consists of 2 back to back loans in different currencies. Japanese investors have excess JPY and seek to convert it to USD via this mechanism so they can buy higher yielding assets in USD. Cross currency basis swaps attract a premium, in this case as the flows are predominantly lending JPY, the lenders get a lower interest rate than the prevailing market rate. The problem arises if you are a US or European bank and wish to do this trade with a Japanese bank. If there is a JPY crisis the premium will become even more negative as Japanese entities scramble to get USD in to meet liabilities by lending JPY. As the foreign bank you will have a mark-to-market profit on the JPY you lent but your Japanese counterparty may well be unable to pay due to the unfolding crisis in Japan.
So what you're saying is that you think journalism is nothing more than untangling the confidence game and reacting to rather than trying to verify claims?
Anyone think this was Musk's game plan?

Not Eli specifically but intentionally causing chaos.

"Both Musk and Calacanis agreed that Twitter Blue is “an insane piece of shit” and its features should be razed and rethought outright. “These dipshits spent a year on Twitter Blue to give people exactly… Nothing they want!” Calacanis texted." [0]

Oh I remember now I was actually looking at spirulina for omega 3.

Seemed hard to find numbers, but one source said 331mg of EPA per gram of Spirulina platensis (https://www.ripublication.com/ijac16/ijacv12n4_05.pdf).

Was considering what it would be like to eat like 6 grams of spirulina for 2g of EPA, versus that in one teaspoon of fish oil (high EPA type).

But got stuck on the B12 blocking stuff. I wonder if your point is true that there's enough redundancy it doesn't matter. It would be nice if it was easier/cheaper to get bloodwork to do some experiments with this kind of stuff.
There's an implied "per year", but this is easy to look up[1]. In all honesty, I'm probably going to trust WFPUSA over a cynical HN user I don't know.

But it doesn't really matter what the number is. If it's too low then we'll get the "the number is too low, you can't believe they'll actually be able to do it for that much" and if it's too high we'll get "That's too much - basically a non-starter. It will never happen." So, it's probably best to end the conversation in stalemate.

It's not random, and no one is being persecuted. It's not retaliation or mocking.

People have a right to share information with each other about abusive people or places who should be avoided.

The lists could be campus rapists, or bad drunks, toxic places to work, or a list of towns or businesses that aren't safe for black or queer folk to visit.

Most of these informal lists have been around for decades. For some people, these lists help them to avoid some dangerous people or places.

Are there some people in these lists who don't deserve to be? Probably.

But how are you going to regulate it? It's speech after all.
Each department had a person service their internal or external client. The could provide the service the old slow way or our way.

EG You ask the Tech Pub dept for the 5000 page Word perfect documents and wait a month to get it printed and shipped through formal channels. Or a couple of days through our team to have it on a secure download location on our public server.

Marketing, New Business, Sales and Engineering each had a rep. If you want a Schematic out of engineering, several weeks until it was plotted or a day or two to get the right Autocad or Bentley Microstation cad file into the secure down load.

I was the goto guy if you needed data off our Mainframe. It was a massive data sink but it was hard to get anything out.

Expectations were low as the competition were Green screen MF program.
The problem was there was 3 to 5 year waiting list for new MF projects.

I imagine that it would still be up for the time the NS servers would be up. If they don't care about it, after the servers go silent the domains would become unreachable. But they would probably sell the ownership of it to someone else, or at least keep a few servers just for the sake of keeping it.

Edit: As forgotpwd16 pointed out, they can also give up their ownership
> Your stock brokerage, though, is willing to offer you leverage on your assets. In return for a fee (and to gain your business, because this is considered a high-saliency feature for the customers of brokerages), they will lend you money against your assets, allowing you to buy more Google than you had cash for. They might allow you 2:1 leverage when you buy stock: your $1,000 buys 20 shares now.

Not widely known, but it's the US Federal Reserve that tells stock brokers how much leverage their clients are allowed to assume. This is one of the most potent tools in the Fed's toolbox, and it has not used it since 1974:

https://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economi...

Forget the sissy Fed funds rates, forget the lamo QE/QT ceremony, if the Fed really wanted to take compulsive gamblers to the woodshed, all it needs to do is raise the margin requirement, thus de-leveraging brokerage customers by force.

Whenever the topic of hash-related gambling catastrophes comes up, there's always an outcry for MOAR REGULATION.

If history had demonstrated that regulators not only knew when to use their tools but that they could wield them in a wise and timely manner, that would be one thing. But time and again regulators do the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Polluting the gTLD namespace, I suppose. Though I have zero thoughts on the matter personally.
I think there's a real chance of the entire market going pretty close to zero. The market was only ever suspended by pure belief. If the belief is shattered it's over. There's no earnings report or central bank bailout to stem the tide. The market is in freefall. And the only thing keeping from hitting zero is the collective will of those who are doggedly clinging to their sunk costs.
To make ICAAN money. That's why they started doing this. You have to pay them a lot of money for the privilege.

Yes.
I'm not sure about best buy, but I've seen companies that use a TLD for their internal dns.

Like: server.nyc.company

Maybe they want to make sure the domain is under their control, and it may be cheaper just to buy the entire gtld than to change every internal domain name.

With so many laptops and byod, I've seen some issues happen when the external and internal domain names resolve differently.

Like when the internal domain.corp overlaps with the public domain.corp owned by somebody else.
Would that actually make sense?

Maybe I don't want to know.

Or no other trademark should get any TLD maybe?

Corporations are not the owners of the the internet.
It's just an SNR problem with the phrase. The LTV of the customer needs to exceed the CAC plus COGS for that customer. And if you can't see that being the case, firing the customer is necessary.

In many businesses this is hard to account for, but we can do this now. Hence AWS charging a premium for proper support.

The interesting part of "the customer is always right" is that it moves one from the "this customer is idiot" default to the "what is this complaint telling me" and the notion that LTV isn't apparent at single interactions. So you optimize the marginal COGS down (including support, if necessary) using this as your bellwether, and try to keep in mind that LTV can be much higher than single support case cost.

But if you use "customer is always right" to increase COGS and still leave LTV same you're making a mistake because you're conforming to the phrase over the function it has.

I’d be disappointed in my Quest Pro even at $800.

Compared to my Quest 2 with an aftermarket halo strap, the Pro is a device filled with tradeoffs and oddities even on aspects that you’d think are obvious upgrades.

Eg: the screen is remarkably clear in the periphery - but in dark environments it exhibits a very obvious yellow light bleed reminiscent of IPS glow. Supposedly this is an artifact of local dimming not yet being enabled - but it remains unknown as to whether Meta will be able to fix this universally since it’s apparently computationally expensive and the XR2 SoC is very obviously struggling.

Like the reviewer, I’m most impressed by the Touch Pro controllers. The Quest 2 is getting a firmware update this month that adds support for the Touch Pro so I may actually end up going back to the older headset and picking up a pair of the new controllers.
> a software so buggy it adds negative value is a rare exception.

Survivorship bias will explain all of that. You'll rarely encounter negative software because it gets discarded. It doesn't mean it's never created, it just dies before getting wide visibility.

> otherwise software wouldn't have economies of scale.

The fact that software can be developed once and sold indefinitely means the marginal cost is near zero. That is an unbelievably huge economy of scale that would dwarf many other superlinear problems.

> how do we explain the apparent stability of large but mature codebases?

Not all software changes are additions. If assume that codebase size is positively correlated with number of bugs (i.e. more code = more bugs) and that most changes that do not grow the codebase are likely to fix at least one bug, then mature codebases should be expected to improve in quality to the degree that number of changes outpaces total codebase size.
> Isn't the Chevy volt or the Prius the cars that went from essentially zero to mass production?

The Chevy volt never got up to mass production territory as they never broke 25000 per year [1] whereas >100,000 model 3 and model y are each being produced per quarter. [2] That's a respectable mass production volume if not record breaking amongst all cars. The Prius is a hybrid car so it's not in the same category.

> Tesla introduced the model S and in 2012 it was roughly 25% of the EV market (22k of about 90)

The Model S and X are not mass-production models.

> Is going from 70k ev to 90k the same as going from zero to mass production?

They increased the number of EVs produced to truly mass-production volume. The difficulty going from a few thousand per quarter sold at a high price to >100,000s sold at an affordable price is a huge leap.

On top of that, any decent tech school also has an "ethics of engineering" course somewhere along the way, or at least I did about 20 years ago when I was a student (we had quite a stupid professor, but the intention was there).
I feel like I'd StumbleUpon this...
You can kinda fudge it though. Like, I don't think too many people are going to fork out the money to buy and operate the .bestbuy TLD other than ... Best Buy. So if they wanted to have it just for internal stuff, they didn't really need to own the TLD.

What's even more perplexing is that they own bestbuy.com - which is IMO more desirable than any dot-bestbuy domain for public-facing stuff.
What in your opinion is a good/best implementation then? We're currently engaged in re-designing our authorization flow, and I was planning to use a model quite similar to AWS IAM (policies, etc.). Contrary to this article, I actually thought the IAM model was simple in that we can tie each entity's access down to a set of policies that we can independently develop, store, and process for providing access.
It's a strange balance.

On the one hand, if you don't start with guidance from a mentor, you'll likely hit a bunch of obstacles because you don't have the knowledge to avoid them. And it's orders of magnitude more difficult to adjust a bad habit than to not form it in the first place (at least for physical habits). So before doing the "chores" one ought to do a sanity check with a trusted mentor.

On the other hand, the only mentoring the Shaggs needed was about how to tune a guitar:

If they had started with a music teacher, there is a 99.9999% chance they would have all ended up playing a tune in 4/4 in the same tempo instead of the asynchronous rhythmic cycles that they came up with.

The whole point is that that is not income, but just an aggregate value of all transactions within an economy. Money exchanged hands, which is not the same as someone's income.
One of the first c programs I ever wrote was an infinite loop that wrote a random value to a random address. Sadly DOS 6.xx did not have address spaces as such, and while I did not know what it meant at the time, upon rebooting I found it had a write through cache... Most of the file system was littered with extended ASCII characters. Time to pull out all the floppies again for a reimage
