I find it curious that you point out regular social interaction as a major culprit of lost time here but not the 4 different communication mediums that every workplace uses, or the egregious levels of ritualistic meetings, or the expectation of travel being on employee time, or the lessening of the value of our dollar resulting in multiple people having to work full time jobs in a single household to provide the same as generations ago.

If you don't want people to interact in normal ways, why have a business, would business outcomes not be improved by humans interacting and forming social bonds within their workplace, a place that by current standards, we spend 50% of our awake hours?
Too crackpot to mention unless I find something.
I understand your frustration, but I think it misses the point behind attempts at DEI hiring. It's that if you don't push people to look outside their network, they will never even bring in the minorities to interview at all. I tend to agree -- if you have the stellar AA candidate in front of you, they tend to be treated pretty fairly. But what's far more likely, is that I send a referral for a colleague I know from another experience, who is likely white -- and we never even look at the other guys resume.

That is exactly it. The difference comes from compression ratio. ZSTD is compressing the data more, so you need to write less back to disk.
Also when talking about streaming, the difference is even more as it has to go over wan to S3 (provider used on blog test).
Usually it's the fault of the Linux drivers. They don't correctly configure the various integrated peripherals to draw as little current as possible: the WiFi chip, the Bluetooth chipset, the webcam, or whatever random integrated USB peripheral you find on an average laptop.

I don't know much about how refunds are handled, sorry. As far as I'm aware, the crowdfunder preorders were never supposed to be refundable (as that kinda defeats the idea of crowdfunded development); the refund policy in the shop was meant to apply for regular sales of things that were already available to buy there, which were just laptops and accessories at that time. I know that some refunds are being issued anyway, with the caveat that you have to wait for your phone to be ready to ship (otherwise the company would have to effectively cover for your withdrawal, as the components and production are already financed with that money). That's all I know.

Its certainly a turn-off for some. One thing that we have as a potential future effort would be to enable an alternate surface syntax. Since we store an AST insteead of source code, we could create a parser/pretty printer for another surface syntax. Then a user of the language who would prefer something that looked like python could switch our website's renderer to output the python like syntax!

You should probably change the name. Delphi is taken in the computing world:

https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi

And the idea of the name is similar: "Delphi was originally one of many codenames of a pre-release development tool project at Borland. Borland developer Danny Thorpe suggested the Delphi codename in reference to the Oracle at Delphi. One of the design goals of the product was to provide database connectivity to programmers as a key feature and a popular database package at the time was Oracle database; hence, 'If you want to talk to [the] Oracle, go to Delphi'."

The motivation is this interesting story...
'
After a major military victory, the triumphant military generals were paraded through the streets to the roars of the masses. The ceremonial procession could span the course of a day with the military leader riding in a chariot drawn by four horses. There was not a more coveted honor. The general was idolized, viewed as divine by his troops and the public alike. But riding in the same chariot, standing just behind the worshipped general, was a slave. The slave’s sole responsibility for the entirety of the procession was to whisper in the general’s ear continuously, “Respice post te. Hominem te esse memento. Memento mori!”

“Look behind. Remember thou art mortal. Remember you must die!”

The slave served to remind the victor at the peak of glory, this god-like adoration would soon end, while the truth of his mortality remained.
'

That story is given here in the section titled "Romans": https://dailystoic.com/history-of-memento-mori/
I had a similar impression of it, the best I can come up with is I think it was a bet based on a prediction of the future that is kinda true, but just doesn't matter as much as they thought.

1. Personal computers are dead and just a means to access a browser via dumb terminals

2. Applications will be Figma style - web based entirely.

3. Intel/AMD chips are bad and not getting that much better (this one is true, but missed the mark entirely because of Apple silicon throwing a curve ball)

4. Given that your personal computer is basically a dumb terminal to a web browser you could imagine a world where it doesn't matter and it's worth paying $35/mo for a super computer to run your web apps streamed to whatever local hardware you're using, since your local machine is basically useless as a machine and only serves to load a web browser (which is where your actual applications are). This super computer will also remember state so any devices you access mighty on is exactly as you left it. Long term, this could end with a Chromebook like devices of some sort that just connects to mighty and are really nice low power hardware.

--

Personal bias aside (I hate this future and I'm actively working on software trying to bring personal computing back in a from first principles networked way) - it was a bet on trends and fits squarely into the PG concept of a good startup being a bad sounding idea that might have recently became good because of changes in the environment that have not yet been really recognized. I think Apple made it less relevant. I also agree there's a weird issue of who is the actual target market at that price point (the exact people that would maybe need it can also afford good hardware).

That and there is obviously fertile ground in AI right now and the founder sees a bigger opportunity there with a lot of low hanging fruit.
You can buy these products, they are real. we still have some fixes that need to be made to our website, but the site is technically functional.
If each of the 100 open tabs are all run in separate threads, then there are a 100 active threads. I think what TFA means to convey is, the user is interacting with only a single tab at any given point in time; hence any percieved gains are bounded by single core perf. And that there weren't that many web-native apps using service workers to make any material difference to the UX to justify the cost of running just Chrome on a 16-core i9 machine.
From a software products perspective, these are the approaches I'm observing :

To keep that knowledge up to date, we make it part of everyday business processes.

- documents that dynamically follow an active worklow : almanac.io...
- wikis that cover the whole knowledge cycle : getguru.com, bloomfire.com...

To find relevant knowledge, Absent a forthcoming AI winter, deep learning magic is getting better and better at this.

- Unified Search : dashworks.ai, needl.tech...
- Expert identification : starmind.ai

This is a "hard problem," so I'm not claiming these kinds of products will solve it. But IMHO, we need such an effusion of market solutions to get better at it.
I guess the original article [0] is a good starting reference. A post [1] in Tao's blog gives a nice overview.

If you just want a short statement of the discrete uncertainty principle: If you define the discrete Fourier transform F(u) for functions u defined on a finite abelian group G, and you denote by |S(u)| the cardinal of the support of u, then you have the inequalities:

|S(u)| · |S(F(u))| >= |G|

and (as consequence)

|S(u)| + |S(F(u))| >= 2 sqrt(|G|)

Notice that this contains as a particular case the discrete Fourier transform, where the abelian group in question is the integers modulo N.

This has a very practical and intutive interpretation: if the signal u is very localized, then its spectrum F(u) cannot be very localized at the same time, for their supports must be large enough (with respect to the total size of the domain).

It may not be direct subsidiaries but I'd be willing to wager a pretty penny that there are a lot of European countries that feel comfortable with spending little on defense and aren't worrying about Russia because they know the US has their back.

Not to mention keeping Taiwan from being brought under the CCP umbrella, the efforts the US Navy puts into preventing and reducing piracy. In fact most of the world that doesn't worry about imminent invasion from it's neighbors doesn't worry mostly because the US has provided almost global security by virtue of having the largest most capable military on the planet.

I won't pretend it is perfect or that we have global peace but like during Pax Romana although they were still squabbling with the Sassinids, the average person's risk of dying as a result of military conflict is very small when compared historically, especially since almost every military action in the past half century has been not between modern nation states but between guerrilla and partisan forces which results in considerably less damage in life and property than a full scale conflict between two capable actors as the Iran Iraq war proves.

lol, I don't think I take enough of anything to do things I don't want to or shouldn't do.

This has helped me to do the things that I want to do. It more helps on the task level and less the overarching job level.
I don’t think so. Selling 95% (or whatever) percent of a company with $5m revenue per employee is not exactly a bad result.

It might stifle the type of megalomania that passes for innovation these days though, and would prevent concentration of wealth that stifles innovation through anti competitive behaviour.

> If you are attending any event and you can actually buy the tickets directly at the box office then go that route.

I used to try that - in order to avoid ticketmaster fees. For most venues, even if you buy tickets at the venue, it is a ticketmaster terminal/printer that prints the tickets out. And you still pay the ticketmaster fees.
What kinds of numbers do you expect here? It's really only arithmetic that's memory-bound, even something like a scan or compress/filter does a fair amount of CPU work and wouldn't benefit that much from fusion (if you even can fuse compress). And with fewer loops I don't think loop optimization is as relevant. I think a factor of 2 is the median kind of improvement I'd expect from a compiled SIMD APL on array programs? Which is a long way from the 10x or so you get by adding a JIT to other dynamic interpreted languages, and likely harder. I would describe that as APL not benefitting much from compilation; maybe you wouldn't.

(I've written some about what array compilation would mean at https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/implementation/compile/intro...)
Sounds really interesting!

Thanks for the follow up.
If you believe in small government then you're going to enact policies that accomplish this. Re-branding this as "starve the beast" seems nothing more than a propaganda exercise.

Further.. almost every business employing people in a State must be setup with that State's authorities. Is there some reason States can't handle wage theft? Is this naturally a federal problem, or even best solved at that level?
Having used both Citrix and Mighty, it’s clear Mighty cared about latency in a way that Citrix doesn’t (or, more generously, is out of control of Citrix since they don’t own the end-to-end system)
So copyright is incentivizing only $9 billion of spending on books… This seems suboptimal. You’d think it’d be possible to design a different government scheme that yielded say, twice as much book publishing, but with no restriction on copying. Same thing for music.

Google places a pretty high emphasis on code quality and readability. It's not universally great, but it's a big part of the culture. You can catch a glimpse in their [style guides][1], [abseil totws][2] and [aips][3]. Almost every change is required to be reviewed for "readability" in addition to functionality. This can feel like a lot, but it leads to pretty consistent style across the codebase which makes it a lot easier to switch projects or read and understand an unfamiliar section of the code.

When you say you have 350 GWh of storage, people expect to be able to draw 350 GWh and then store 350 GWh without waiting several months for the reservoir to fill back up. There is nothing bad-faith about pointing out how deceptive it is to say a facility has 350 GWh of storage when in reality the practical storage capacity is much smaller than that.

Also, you insist that there's an error in this analysis - "double counting" - yet you neglect to actually explain what was wrong with it. This [1] is the report that arrived at the 40 GWh figure.

> Whilst Talbingo’s level could be reduced to provide ‘space’ for Snowy 2.0 Tantangara water, this
would reduce the energy storage and efficiency of Tumut 3. As Tumut 3 has 60 GWh of storage when Talbingo is full, any reduction in Talbingo water levels would reduce that capacity, which can be delivered at 1,800 MW for up to 33 hours. A reduction would also (marginally) reduce the efficiency of Tumut 3. Another reason to keep Talbingo close to full is that a call on Snowy 2.0 to generate for 7 days would normally be most unlikely. Also, Tumut 3 can very quickly generate and create space in Talbingo for Snowy 2.0 water, though this still means discharging water to Blowering, beyond whatever spare capacity there was in Jounama at the time. So, if the current operational arrangement remains largely intact, the available capacity for Snowy 2.0 before water is lost to Blowering would be approximately 28 GL. This volume equates to a recyclable energy storage capacity for Snowy 2.0 of about 40 GWh (28/239x350) – i.e. 20 hours at 2,000 MW.

If more than 40 GWh of storage were used, Snowy 2 would reduce the capacity of other hydro electric plants. It's the estimate of 350 GWh that relied on double counting, not the 40 GWh figure. If this analysis is wrong, then actually explain what's wrong with it instead of just insisting that it's double counting.

I love how vague they all are. They might as well have said "We have a bad feeling about the world" or "We consulted an ouija board" as justifications. Do they really think a normal person reads these and accepts the reasoning?
I always thought "Eternal September" referred to the beginning of the (most common) university academic year in the US when incoming freshmen received their UNIX accounts, including access to Usenet. I was one of those students. The Jargon File seems to corroborate this meaning. The OP completely ignores the academic side of the internet, which is where the internet came from, focusing solely on "AOL", a commercial venture.

A lot of citations to Razib Khan and Scott Alexander in his other posts!

Effective Altruism was founded to evade the two dynamics he describes (donors who do what their friends will admire them for not what helps poor strangers, and charities which spend most of their donations on themselves or on raising money). It sounds like part of it was hijacked by the Lesswrong / AI Risk crowd and by cryptocurrency swindlers.

As someone who enjoys eating a lemon, so sourness is no issue, Granny Smiths are pretty good IMO. I always got a sense they were harder to digest after eating them, it does feel like roughage ... and the site agrees by saying they are the hardest to digest apple, but good for gut flora as a result.

Also I like the mild clickbait. By making apple the first word, I assumed they meant Apple Inc.
You’ll need to be more specific. Do you believe there is no such thing as something that scales (sub) linearly?

Economies of scale are a thing. Do you think the marginal cost to AWS of adding more storage servers to S3 increases over time? Or does each additional server amortize a little more fixed cost and only increase the support cost logarithmically, meaning it effectively costs less?
> released them from slavery to money and the misery it brings

Good point. I often wonder what motivates a billionaire to keep making more money. For most it seems like ego, greed, and inability to rethink their life. I suppose they climbed so high by being relentless and not stopping. This is what makes the example of Yvon Chouinard so interesting.
This is a question for an expert in the South Korean legal system.

I work at a company with a similar code review culture.

I have about 2 blocks of meetings per day on average. I usually check my assigned code reviews in the morning and when I come back from the meetings. Once I’m done with those then I move on to my own work.

If I have too much code review to the point that I can’t get my own work done, I take my name off the reviewer list and it’s reassigned.

On most days I’m still able to get a good 2-3 hours of sustained focused work on my own project.
Well, that’s one way to respond I suppose. I don’t have the connections to Apple or Android teams to make this possible, so I did the only thing I could: tried to make this helpful idea more visible. Foolish me for not keeping quiet I suppose.

Thing is, for something like an AST parser you want a property test, not a bunch of autogenerated boilerplate.

Generally, if something is boring and repetitive it's probably shouldn't be written, better code generation is rarely a good answer.
My experience with Overwatch (1) is completely the opposite. In competitive queue there's blatant cheating about 1/20 games. Then there's the smurf problem where it might as well be considered cheating for about 1/10 games. Of course I report them and I see that thank you message about reporting but it feels like it hasn't done anything to curb reduce the numbers.

Toxicity is the the inverse where 1/10 games feels like it's a match filled with rational minimally behaved adults.

I pretty much stopped playing when Overwatch 2 came out.

Thank you for the feedback, we are open to ideas.

we are wokring on option 1

We're experimenting with this, 2 options:
1. No membership, but higher prices (we may try this in the near future)

2. Membership with ultra low prices on clothing

With option 2 you actually end up saving more in the long run and its the same result.

Membership helps to run the business while passing all the cost savings to you, that's the main idea about this business model, but definitely open to experimentation.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!
I work for a smartphone and found that tuning for the battery is hard, labor intensive work. And you also need awareness from the app developer whose apps do use the battery. Plus you need a lot of users to justify these efforts to be get paid. It's not technical superiority but more about the economy of scale. I bet Linux is much more energy efficient in datacenters than Windows because of this reason.
It seems to me like Russia cyclically (or at least from time to time) exchanges independent people accused of tech crimes for something it wants.

I apologize ahead of time for rambling, but I'm with you on this!

In my coworkers and many of the applicants we see, there's a trend of over optimization. The common meme is the 'leet code' interview process.

I suppose the best way I can convey this is... I think there's hyper focus on the mechanics of doing things. Making people not afraid of the code, unaware of the world around it

Abandoning a lot of thought for process. Or even the physical systems it runs on. I recently learned about the term 'mechanical sympathy'

Sometimes it's important to ask if you need the code or system at all!
