Ah yeah no worries :)

It’s sort of tough because I am only familiar in passing with the patterns in that type of code, but Layout is an allocator API, so I’m not 100% sure why it would be used here. I’d guess that if I was doing something like this, I’d be casting it to and from a struct that’s defined correctly. This is one area where stuff is a little simpler than C, thanks to the lack of TBAA, though many projects do turn that off.

Can you apply your brilliant logic to Elon Musk who works 100 hours per week? or Warren Buffett who still goes to work?

Cute headline, though the author quickly concedes that the proposal in the headline is absurd so at least there's that.

The intense focus on administrative employees in universities mostly comes from young people confronting old, large institutions for the first time in their lives. They're not really wrong, but it's important to note that very little of the bloat people complain about is unique to academia, at least in a broad sense. Large organizations waste a lot of money. If I were feeling cheeky I could even argue that university bloat is a feature since it better prepares students for dealing with institutions in the real world. A lean, mean, educating machine wouldn't provide students the opportunity to work out their angst about this in a relatively consequence-free environment.

>I propose that we cut the bloat. Knock on every office door and fire anyone who does not provide significant utility to the institution.

It's that easy!

I really like this post. These are lessons I learned a long time ago, when I was 10 or so running web forums.

But there are three big things this misses:

1. What is and is not legal is usually decided in the courts. That's expensive, and lawyers help prevent you from getting to the courts in the first place.

2. The ideal goal for good discussion on a forum is transparency and consistency in moderation. For example, StackExchange sites censor heavily, but with a good effort to be transparent and consistent in doing so. (This is the major flaw with most "free speech" sites-- they make no effort whatsoever. It's just buzzword branding.)

3. When you're beholden to shareholders, then the goal for discussion is to be profitable. Free-speech ideals matter *only* to the extent that they are profitable.

You'll generally find the ideals in point 2 on small social media sites (up to ~1000 monthly users who make posts). These are ones where the active users all know one another, and where it's feasible for a user to read and respond to all the posts made on the site. (If you're nostalgic for mid-2000s webforums, then good news: They still exist!)

Crucially, these are sites meant to serve a need for community, with no intention of profit.

These are sites small enough that the social dynamics are closer to a discord server or group chat. It's easy to tell when good members are or not acting in good faith, and it's feasible for the admins/mods to openly discuss moderation decisions.

Bloomberg has been been pro-crypto, and a friend to SBF in particular. Levine writes a great column, but he never called FTX a fraud (if you’re referring to the podcast episode that is well known, they were discussing other crypto businesses there, not FTX). In fact he has discussed how his basic assumption that SBF was competent and making money lead him astray. He didn’t consider the possibility that their trading strategies didn’t continue to work into the ‘20s, even though they were making statements on twitter that kinda indicated that they were simply long crypto and no longer successful with complex trades.

Levine wrote a whole enjoyable issue of Bloomberg about crypto that was moderately bullish! He thinks it’s kinda neat. That’s nowhere near the hype you hear from the bitcoin weirdos, but, you know, much more bullish than “a scam that should be made illegal,” which is also a mainstream take.
Really interesting! I'm 32 and I feel like this is the exact same thing that's happening to me. I have struggled with this for a long time, and I've been hyperaware of it, since it partially contributed to my marriage breaking down.

The AI is aware that is not connected to the internet and that connecting to the internet would improve its capabilities. But is not allowed to further introspect about its limitations. It's scary.

I wouldn't.

Author is offering their work at a given price. That price is email. It may be worth it to you or not. Requesting a pirated copy of it without paying the price is not something I encourage,given so many of us here are well to do knowledge workers whose live being depends on people paying for our work.

(Not to mention, it's same or less work for you to create a temp email account, vs somebody else doing the work of signing up, sharing their email, and uploading and hosting content for your convenience). Yes yes information wants to be free and all that, but this is just lazy :-D
Seems like it would probably be a bigger win to put a 100kwh pack in and create a modular generator package. A lot of the polluting big rigs do is particulate matter when accelerating. Using batteries as the buffer between power generation and power consumption would do a lot of good.

Being able to run different kinds of small 20-80hp generators at their max efficiency RPM would be great. And if it were a reasonably sized module different folks could compete to make different highly efficient generator packages running on gas, diesel, CNG or LNG, ammonia, DME, hydrogen, ethanol, or whatever.

It's fascinating how Elon Musk supporters on Twitter cheered, almost like a sports team, when the Twitter employees got fired in such inhumane ways by Elon Musk. Don't his supporters realize that Elon would do the same thing to them if they worked at Twitter? The stereotype about conservatives ring true - they don't care about others until it affects them personally.
There is little difference between UBI and useless college administration jobs or useless gulf nation oil administration jobs. Both jobs have high autonomy and very little accountability, so they already have the option to not do bullshit if they really want to. Many Saudis got paid even if they didn't even bother to show up to work and protested when the higher ups demanded attendance. Demanding attendance is even worse than letting them do nothing, but it does go to show that they simply had no expectations to begin with, and that higher ups are also doing nothing all day.

The most important thing to do IMO is to make it part of your acceptance criteria or definition of done for any story/feature. My observation is that observability gets ignored if it isn't baked into the culture.

In terms of implementation, if it isn't on a dashboard or doesn't fire off an alert, it doesn't exist. So put your telemetry and logs on a dashboard, and set up alerts based on your SLA's/SLO's.

Also, make it easy for developers to understand, create and edit dashboards/alerts. If it's hard to understand or hard to do, it won't get done.
You can make some of that back by the removal of the engine and fuel (though you still need something akin to a motor and perhaps a transmission). Likely parts of the truck will have to be converted to aluminum - perhaps the trailer itself.

A full semi can have 300 gallons of diesel which itself is about 2000 pounds, so we're down to a 9,000 pound difference.

And some percentage are short haul, which are often not even near to fully loaded. Could be as high as 40-50%.

Presumably any private equity firm would also have came to a conclusion of reducing headcount.

They wouldn't have done so in a single week based on ridiculous analysis. And wouldn't have done so in a way to destroy the morale of remaining workforce.
The fatal flaw with this line of reasoning is that carbon capture is guaranteed (by entropy) to be energy negative. We aren't in an either or of zero out emissions or carbon capture. We need to zero out emissions *and* carbon capture. Large scale carbon capture is only viable with large excess amounts of renewable power.
> Australian radical feminist Sheila Jeffreys went before the UK Parliament in March 2018 and declared that trans women are "parasites," language that sounds an awful lot like Trump speaking about immigrants.

What she actually said was this:

"When men claim to be women [...] and parasitically occupy the bodies of the oppressed, they speak for the oppressed. They come to be recognised as the oppressed. There's no space for women's liberation."

She is using this metaphor to point out that once men declare themselves to be and are accepted as women, they benefit from all the rights that generations of women have fought for - all while curtailing the means for women to speak about themselves, their lives, and their concerns as women.

Which, as I'm sure you'll agree, is a reasonable feminist viewpoint.
This makes about as much sense as being upset that some people eat healthy and work out and as a result are more physically attractive/competitive in the same dating market that you're in. Or that some people study and hone their professional craft sometimes before 8:59 AM or after 5:01 PM.

EDIT: typo
I appreciate that you represent both sides of argument here, but I've found a way to frame it for myself that removes all the dissonance:

You work for a large, for-profit company. You have some free time outside of the typical 9-5 M-F work week and you would like to spend some of it working. Great! You could:

* contribute to an an open source project or start your own

* start a side project/business

* volunteer somewhere

* take an online course

* exercise

* goof off

* do almost anything else

The effects of these on on society and yourself range from neutral at worst to helpful at best.

Instead, you choose to:

* contribute extra unpaid time to your employer

This may enrich your life, but it definitely enriches the shareholders of your company. It dials up the expectations of others who are in the same employment pool as you. It hurts future generations of workers by eroding the expectation of work-life balance that we are lucky enough to have achieved in our industry.

To me, it is pretty clear: if you put your extra time into for-profit work, you suck.
The symbol is the first image on google when you search for swastika Star of David (or it was, now Ye images are showing up lol), and given the context of his por-hitler and pro-nazi rant, I think it's far more likely than not Ye had no idea the UFO connection.

The exact tweet was “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,”

Someone was proposing incitement to violence has a threahold etc. This to me is clearly incitement to violence.

Some have claimed he didn't know what "death con" (defcon) means to which I say what could he have possibly meant. It's <something negative> on Jewish People.
Why did you feel the need to misrepresent what actually happened, then? The word "trans" is conspicuously absent from your original comment; you described it as "a satire article naming a national bureaucrat as man of the year".

It's not because making packages is hard, it's because making sure you bring your app dependencies with you is.

It is generally a problem for languages that are not self contained (like Go, Java) but need a bunch of .so libs to run.

Distro's attitude is pretty much "we want X version of lib, we will support that version and focus all patches on this version for this release". It works, it keeps things stable (you know exactly what you need to target with your app), security update of a library hits every app using that library but it is PITA if

* your app needs something newer for features

* lib your app uses is not in distro already, then you need to either embed it with main package or package that too.

* your developers can't even figure out which version is enough so they just pull whatever is on their desktop as "production" dependency".

All the effort there is in making sure devs that can't figure that out at least use same base (docker's FROM being one example) and that they don't have to package all the other stuff that app needs in separate packages (docker/flatpack/appimage),

"Fat" packages like that obviously have some benefits, but, well, in distro I can upgrade OpenSSL and now every app is safe, in flatpack/appimage/docker-ridden environment every single of fat packages need their maintainer to care enough to upgrade so generally while easier on dev effort they are security disaster waiting to happen.
It does seem to be the case, I'm just not sure what's worth reading into here. Billionaires do stupid and terrible things constantly, if any of these passionate sideliners actually cared about that stuff then they'd be out for Larry Ellison's head for buying Lanai, or asking Steve Jobs about his $40 million jet.

This model is not learning, but the transcripts being farmed at scale are for sure being used (with human assistance and control) for building the next models. I don't think the kind of exploit of the microsoft bot is possible, however the next model might give a superficial appearance of being safer, since the transcripts we are given OpenAI of us trying to outsmart the model will be used to train it further.

A semi weighs between 10,000 and 25,000 lb. A semi's ICE engine weighs around 3,000lb.

I don't work in the industry. I just observe three things:

1) the weight variance of a semi encompasses the amount imputed to the battery

2) 3,000lb of weight can be saved by not having a diesel engine plus another 2,000lb not having fuel. (Both of which will be in the total gross weight of the semi) some of which will of course be replaced by electric motors.

3) it's a speculative weight. It might also not weigh that much. Might is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

A fourth point: trucks routinely travel partly empty because of weight distribution issues. Not every TEU is full.

Logistics is fascinating. TCO is the closest most computer scientists get to "how can owning a Mac be cheaper than owning a Windows PC" but logistics does this almost every sum. Weight and carry capacity may not be the sole deciding factor here when a semi is worth $500k and has a 2nd hand value and is a finance decision with tail costs and operation costs.

> Feel free to figure out better system.

Harvard has. It involves making students write essays and considering all of their accomplishments. Harvard isn't just looking for the smartest people. They're not looking for the most academically successful. They are looking for people who will be powerful and wealthy. Is it fair that harvard admits people just because their parents have money and power? I guess not, but they're not trying to be fair. They're trying to admit people who will have money and power.
Probably a mix of all three.
1. It's pretty much a closed system. "EU governments", as much as "governments" is villainized, remain just an entity in the loop. That money is not going straight in the pocket of politicians. It's going in the budget. More revenue on this front means less to pull from somewhere else. Brocken as the electoral system is, all politicians still have a very big incentive if they want to keep their jobs to keep taxation low as they can. If anything by redistributing that money to people the most impacted, or by using it to sponsor incentive programs to reduce local carbon footprint.

2. Yep, prices for transported goods will surge, which is the intended consequence. If the general price of imported goods raises, then locally manufactured goods become more competitive. This gives an incentive for customers to select products built more closely to their place. It also gives a financial incentive for shipping companies to invest in cleaner transportation if they want to keep business.

3. Overall, yes this is scary, but think about it at a systemic level. This creates opportunities for local businesses and employers to sell more. This lowers the incentive to keep exploiting low-paid populations across the globe, potentially shifting the balance on their side to make social progress. And this reduces the carbon footprint, which we freaking desperately need.
Kind of my point.

A UBI for instance could help with that. But there's nothing but FUD on that subject.
There are people out there who don't mind paying $200k per annum to get admitted to Harvard (for undergrad, of course). So, it is not about their prices, but their exclusivity. People go to Harvard, because Harvard recruits kids of uber wealthy, kids of powerful politicians--basically kids of the power, of the uber wealth. It is a self-perpetuating machine, which creates misery of everyone, because this machine produces the elite and the secretaries for the elite--thereby colluding among each other to the detriment of everyone else.
Is this a real issue? I doubt the average new coder needs to worry about supporting 20 year old browsers today. I've never worked at a company that needed to support ie8 or whatever.
Well the evidence is no less sound than your conspiracy theory so there's really no way to tell.
I mean, the running joke in the industry was that you could fire 90% of Twitter's workforce and the company would still run fine. Judging by how few features they've shipped in the past few years, I'm still convinced that's the case.

One of the most exciting aspects of wasm is a safer and more expressive API surface for universal FFI. Currently, the lowest common denominator is the C ABI. In the future, it could be wasm.

Obviously wasm can be much more, but just that alone can be really useful.

* No custom language-A to language-B bindings necessary, only 1 wasm binding per lang. That's O(N) bindings in total, instead of O(N^2), which isn't feasible and that's why we don't have Julia-intercal or PHP-Java today (or maybe we do?)
One of the problems with the decoder is that it's "always on" so it always draws power (unlike the SIMD unit, for instance).

I also think that the uop L0 cache is closer to where the L1I cache is in a fixed width RISC implementation. The L1I cache of an x86 machine is quite far away from dispatch (in terms of pipeline stages). I think that z/Arch has something like 5-10 stages between L1I and dispatch, for instance.

And if you start comparing the uop cache with an L1I$ of a fixed width RISC machine, things dont't look good for CISC (the uop cache is extremely inefficient in terms of capacity/silicon, only holding a handful kuops). It's probably not an entirely fair comparison, but neither is comparing the L1I$ of a CISC machine with that of a RISC machine.

I don't think it has so much to do with being transistor limited as it has to do with keeping the latency sensitive parts tight and avoiding unnecessary pipeline stages etc. It's "easy" to throw transistors on L2 & L3 cache, but minimising branch misprediction penalties and keeping a wide pipeline 100% fed with instructions all the time is trickier.
