If you read a little closer this is in his "counter-arguments" section stated as a claim made by other people - a claim he doesn't buy. If you look at some of his other articles about latency he points to user studies and research that shows the 100-200ms claim is not true.

So he's making the opposite argument you think he's making - he agrees with you.
I wanted to be a lifer at my previous job. It was a tech giant, they were doing a lot of cool things, and there were a lot of opportunities for internal mobility. But the salary increases did not keep up with the market. And it became very difficult to stay motivated. Even when I had the opportunity to work on an interesting project, I decided against it and concentrated on interviewing with other companies.

I am now in a smaller company and earn more money than in my previous job. I am also happier. I'm enjoying the work I'm doing.
Yes, but this only really means that you can now get blocks out faster (lower block times), not that you can evaluate more transactions to put in them. And you can only start evaluating those transactions once you see the previous block, since you need to know what transactions are now confirmed and so should not be included in your block (save for "greedy" mining that doesn't put any txs in the block in order to avoid waiting — which doesn't really work with Ethereum's GHOST consensus-selection anyway.)

Block times on Ethereum were already very long compared to other Ethereum-alike blockchains, to reduce the impact of mining processing on throughput (i.e. if block time is 10s, then you only need to deal with mining overhead once per 10s period.)

Combined with the fact that people were spending exactly as much on GPUs to accelerate this process as profit margins would allow, and you'll find that not that much wall-clock time was really being spent per minute on the sequential bottleneck of mining. It's the aggregate CPU time that was being spent on mining that was economically and ecologically damaging.
Yeah I think so. Relevant quote from the article below. How are the keys being pressed, manually? We could have skipped all this by just knowing key travel time will govern based on his experiment. If you really want to know the fastest keyboards look at what the winners of typing competitions use.

>A major source of latency is key travel time. It’s not a coincidence that the quickest keyboard measured also has the shortest key travel distance by a large margin. The video setup I’m using to measure end-to-end latency is a 240 fps camera, which means that frames are 4ms apart. When videoing “normal" keypresses and typing, it takes 4-8 frames for a key to become fully depressed. Most switches will start firing before the key is fully depressed, but the key travel time is still significant and can easily add 10ms of delay (or more, depending on the switch mechanism). Contrast this to the Apple "magic" keyboard measured, where the key travel is so short that it can’t be captured with a 240 fps camera, indicating that the key travel time is < 4ms.
My thoughts exactly. Unless the method can be shown to be inferior in certain or all dimensions, it is a meaningless comparison.
At least there it's still linking to the original source where the information is contextualized or correct. GPT-3 will just spit out an answer with no links so you either trust it got it right or you go to google to confirm it basically eliminating the reason to go to GPT in the first place.

Hey! Super exciting to see your progress on Extism.

I'm Syrus, from Wasmer. I did a quick review of your plugin architecture and it looks great (tons of languages supported, congrats!). I think Wasmer might be able able to help you so you have the same implementation of the runtime inside and outside of the browser (something similar as we did in wasmer-js [1], where we reuse same WASI implementation, but using the native Wasm engine from the browser).

I'd love to see how we can integrate your plugins into Wasmer as well!

> Maybe a "max_MB" property might be more useful to plugin authors, and then just calculate the # of pages internally from that?

yeah, that's something to consider. You can only pass in parameters that are a multiple of the page size so that may not be an accurate representation. I do think we need to hint at the unit in the name though.
This will make headshots more precise with machine learning and computer vision. I personally do not like the prospects of judicial killing when “a threat to civilian and officer lives” has been hand waved away again and again.

That’s why regulation exists.
The rule of thumb floating around when I was working on physical input devices last was to keep latency under 50ms so people wouldn't get frustrated. I don't have any sources but it becomes a bit more obvious when you look at it as fractions of seconds and then compare that to how slowly seconds actually tick by on a clock.

I remember Dan posting that he typed at ~120wpm somewhere. 120wpm is 0.002 words per ms or 0.4 words per 200ms. Wouldn't one notice if they're almost halfway through a word and nothing has shown up on the screen?
No it isn't. When Google gives you incorrect info, it links the source. GPT-3 will gleefully mash together info from several incorrect sources and share none of them.
Interesting. Just this week I've been building a little experiment in order to utilize WASM based plugins in a project I'm involved with. I'm using WasmEdge for the task and so far am having pretty good luck.

Questions:
1. Can WASM plugins with Extism easily call back into host provided APIs?
2. Complex types are supported?
Lua is more like a C library and less like a VM. (Similarly, LLVM isn't a VM, which is a common misunderstanding, given the name)

As far as I know, people don't ship code to remote Lua VMs and execute it. There is no compatibility guarantee across versions, and there are nontrivial compile-time options (like what the number type is).

That doesn't mean Lua isn't useful; it's just not designed for the same things that WASM is.

My intuition would be checking every move and disallow those (no claiming, transparent comparison on every move)

We can argue if a forced move ends the game, or just allows it.

The question is then who will care for these people when they get old? Other people's children? So other people should have children, put the effort to raise and educate them for your benefit? This is a very egotistic view.
> So it seems like the sole basis for this action is TrustCor's mere affiliation with another company that does TLS interception?

The CA representative was presented with the challenge of proving their CA should be trusted, and failed it. This isn't a case of "presumed innocent until proven guilty" as in a criminal trial, so looking at it through that lens isn't very helpful.

I think it is reasonable to conclude from Rachel's communications that TrustCor cannot be clearly identified as a trustworthy root CA, and thus they have been removed.

[I work for Suborbital]

We're both all in on extensible software powered by WebAssembly, but the scope and domains differ.

Suborbital is more of a turnkey / batteries-included service that handles the full lifecycle of extending SaaS applications with user-defined plugins. So it includes a web-based editor widget, a module builder service, storage and compute, administrative dashboards, etc.

Extism, from my lay understanding, is more tightly scoped toward being a great library for running WebAssembly modules, in the same way you might embed a Lua runtime into an application for user scripting.

Another big difference is that you can use all of Extism right now. Suborbital's hosted platform is still in closed beta :) (Waitlist at https://form.typeform.com/to/DHxjRGKx)

Your examples are not comparable to abstaining from sex.

I may not be understanding this. Eating and sleeping are obviously requirements for anyone's life, and sex is required for the continuation of all life.

Quite a large difference in excess deaths compared to the other study with New Zealand being especially striking (+6588 from the OECD study vs -440 in the economist one).
The analysis code and description for the study I linked to can be found here [1], which is always nice to see.
And browsing through different scientific studies on excess deaths I see negative values for NZ much more often than positive values (see for example [2]), so I am thinking that the OECD study is more of an outlier here (see [3] for a meta-analysis).

I wish we could start moving to better approaches for evaluating time series forecasts. Ideally, the forecaster reports a probability distribution over time series, then we evaluate the predictive density with regard to an error function that is optimal for the intended application of the forecast at hand.

They didn't.

Or rather, they probably didn't raise those $4.7m to create automated Slack updates, but to solve a problem they think enough future customer are (or would be) having. You have to distinguish deliverable (software) from product (problem-solving offering).
Growth helps, but it's not required. What is actually required is stability in the age pyramid. The problem is we transitioned suddenly from high growth to a population crash. Now the age pyramid resembles more a propane tank shape, and the pension system went haywire. A very slow transition would be easier to adapt to.

We estimated that it costs 1.5 million to raise our kids just based on opportunity cost. If we factored in increased health insurance rates, and all the other expenses around having multiple children including needing to own a bigger car and house, factor out the tax credits in the US, it's more like 2.25 million. This is for a very moderate salary estimation for the non-working spouse.

>adjust your expectations

That's just another way to say they're inherently expensive. If they weren't, why are you adjusting your expectations?

I do think we exaggerate greatly how expensive kids are, for the most part the "exchange" is in time and not money. However, they are still a noticeable cost especially in countries with not great support systems.
