Good. If you are reading this, it means you did not microwave your phone. You have passed the test. A fully clothed Apple representative is waiting for you in your car. Do not look directly into his eyes. Follow his directions to travel to our Appcave. After performing a gravity search for security reasons, he will grant you control over your device.

Something like that.

Johnny Tech-No might be able to navigate the checkboxes, he might even get through the trick one where you have to wait 30 minutes. There's no way he's getting Gold on HackerRank without having the know how to safely use a rooted phone. Surely.
I agree, the disease itself might not have killed as many, but the effects of the pandemic most likely did. It was by far the largest deviation from the norm during the time and therefore carries by far the largest responsibility of excess deaths (as excess deaths are deaths outside of what would be ordinary).
It will be whatever the latest node is at completion, so most likely Intel 3 or Intel 20A [1]. It was Pat Gelsinger's pledge to get Intel's node roadmap back on track when he joined as CEO just under 2 years ago. From what they've been submitting papers wise to industry forums, IEEE Synopsium and the like, they're on track to deliver 20A by 2025. I recommend following the progress of Intel's new "Intel Foundry Services" business segment.

Not the railroads, at least not inititally.

The activist investors—a hedge fund in this case, kick started a toxic environment—are the ones that destroyed the more traditional management and squeezed out more profits.

“ A decade ago, the activist investor Bill Ackman won a proxy battle at Canadian Pacific and proceeded to replace its management with a team led by Hunter Harrison, the railway executive who’d pioneered P.S.R. After imposing the gospel of “more with less” at Canadian Pacific, Harrison left to spread the good news to the freight giant CSX. At each firm, P.S.R. succeeded at generating higher returns. ”

Write a poem about production engineering

The machines hum with diligent care,
Each part crafted with precision rare.

The production engineer, a master of design,
Plans and creates for the assembly line.

With keen eye and skilled hand,
They guide the process, understand

The complex dance of gears and springs,
Ensuring that each part sings.

From start to finish, they oversee
The creation of something new and free.

A product born of their dedication,
A work of art and innovation.

The production engineer's greatest pride,
A source of joy and satisfaction inside

An incredibly novel infectious disease that kills older people at an intensely meaningful rate is clearly the driver here.
Until COVID took hold at the beginning of 2022 Australia saw a reduction in deaths due to the above factors, which more than countered deaths due to COVID, leading to the death rate being lower than normal.

Another significant factor was the complete elimination of flu as a byproduct of COVID countermeasures (zero recorded flu cases or deaths for about a year). Flu came back in from overseas (with a vengeance) when the restrictions lifted.

Good read, but one major thing instantly comes to mind.

Yes, small teams make for fast teams, but what happens when your dev in a team of 2 leaves? Your 10x speed drops to 0x, or you pull in another 10x dev and they drop to 4x or less (because we all know the seriousness of switching costs).

It may take a while to find an interview a replacement since you need someone that is great, not good.

I prefer to work in smaller teams at smaller companies, but can see why larger companies are large. They care more about consistency than max speed.

> Usually, at the point of real "burnout" there is no fix except leaving for a different setting for awhile.

Still being with my employer causes some real pressure. They don't want to help to fix my issues, while still expecting me to come back to work. I need to get out of this situation.

> While I often infer Plumbing is a cleaner trade than the tech sector [...]

The thing is though, I love software development. I have wanted to be a software developer when I was 4. And I'm almost 34 now. But I really hate the politics and drama. I just want to create, be creative and be a team leader. I know I can do that and I'm good at it. But I just have to find the right match.

> the banking theft example

Even during a bank run, employees are supposed to get paid. When the banker takes your money and uses it to pay salary, it's not banking theft. Theft happens when the exchange (not banker) promises you to hold your assets in escrow and then uses it to pay themselves. There's a legal difference between bankers and exchanges in which one borrows your money, and the other holds your assets on your behalf.

The fact that you don't (want to) understand the point doesn't make it non-existent.
Nothing more can hurt the dead and politicians and people don't care if it wasn't their own friends/family.

What we should be dealing with is the millions, maybe even a billion worldwide that will have long-covid for the rest of their miserable existence.

They're alive but the quality of life is just gone, likely forever.

We saw this with the original covid, SARS-COV-1 in 2003, many never recovered.
Do you have any sources for your claims or are you making stuff up?

Many, many Europeans do work in factories. Just ask the Germans.

What's wrong with working in chip factories anyway? They produce some of the highest margin products in the world and since they are highly automated, working in a chip factory requires certain knowledge and education on physics, quality assurance, automation, material science, and certainly give you experience that makes you a valuable worker with future perspects rather than a replaceable cog in a dead end job as is the case for the Europeans working in most other factories that are a few steps away from being off-shored to lower cost areas.

I agree that it's not a simple plant opens => China invades, but this does feel like we're starting to see the dominos line up.

If it's about talent, it's a lot easier to quickly import people than to import a massive fab plant, and I assume we'll be building talent (either domestic or imported) as we build out the related infrastructure and industry.

It would certainly be disruptive, but I assume part of the US's drive is to reduce dependency on Taiwan, and consequently exposure to the threat of China.

If the US stops caring about Taiwan, it's both safer for China to invade Taiwan (less pushback from the US), and less geopolitically valuable (less damage to the US), but China's interests aren't focused entirely on the geopolitical when it comes to Taiwan.

Since this comment was more controversial than I expected, let me add a few notes.

1. Everything done on the quantum computer here can be (and was) also simulated on a classical computer. The most interesting part of the story here is the algorithm, which is derived from a string theory argument.

2. Even so, since entanglement plays a key role, a quantum computer is way more natural to implement this on than a classical computer.

3. There are some profound philosophical consequences of AdS/CFT. A lot of the discussion about simulation vs reality here would be better served by taking some time to deeply understand the topic in detail, because it is extremely counterintuitive and interesting. The argument that “everything done on a computer is by definition a simulation so it is not interesting” is far from the end of the story.

Not in this lifetime. Unless you are talking about occupying China / storming their territory, that would not go well. But defeating China at sea and in the air and in other countries? They'd have no chance.
It’s difficult to talk about some subjects online when people are so keen to mince other people’s words like this. They obviously meant nothing by it and you’re letting pedantry invalidate the point they were making. I’d prefer if you’d lower your editorial expectations for casual internet discussions more than I’d prefer everyone edit their word choices so carefully (unrealistic expectation honestly).

Not meant to pick on you, this is a common thing I see when certain topics are discussed but it does not benefit the discussion at all.

If you've entered the "burned out" phase, it'll be very often high anxiety, low energy, sleep problems (either very short nights, or very long nights, coupled with large naps and somnolence through the day), feeling angry or depressed, feelings of dread. You stop enjoying what you used to enjoy, and it's basically easily confused for "just depression" (which should also be treated) Your body just lets go of all non brain functions and focuses on your mind. And your mind is feeling like shit, empty and useless.

If you're at the "right at the edge of it" phase, it's rather obsessional focus, trying to please everything and everyone, high feelings of responsibility and duty (even if nothing will happen if you're gone), stress (both the "good kind", the one that everyone believes is perfectly normal to have when you have something important to do, except all you're doing is making a shitty CRUD app right now, and the bad kind, where going to the office fills you with dread), not enjoying what you used to enjoy but saying "it's okay, it's just temporary" when you've not touched that backlog of games in 6 months.
If someone goes to the trouble of implementing an efuse, they will also implement the check in the hardware so it can't be bypassed. An easy example is optical drives with fixed numbers of region switches that refuse at the hardware level to read discs from the wrong region and also refuse at the hardware level to switch regions once all the fuses have been blown.
This is not necessarily true. Sometimes there are emultiple best moves, and in this case the order might be arbitrary depending on all sorts of hard to control things like thread interleavings and caching effects which can be affected even by other processes on the system. You could run it single threaded with no transposition table, but then you have a pretty shitty engine because modern engines are fundamentally designed around having a transposition table. Then you get situations where the top engine move might actually be a bad move.
The memory/disk is actually a huge difference for durability and a really important factor when making a decision to use a database. I believe it would be good to mention it in the benchmark for fair comparison.
Just as an FWIW, I've been interviewing data people for about a decade now, and I would definitely be far more impressed with the simpler approach, but I realise that people like me are a minority in the field.

Quite bad based on what? Looks like a completely unsubstantiated claim.
This is just patently false. Unless they were lying on the ground because they were exhausted from Covid and the bus ran them over, Covid would not appear on a death certificate as a co-morbidity.

> This led to measurable misunderstandings among normal people as to the actual risk.

You say "normal people" as if not having co-morbidities is more common. But large swathes of the population are old, obese, have asthma or some other co-morbidity.
No it doesn't, and you aren't think about it much at all if you think it does. 15kw gets real small when spread across 15 houses that each have 3kw air conditioners. It doesn't even take a hot day. The average oven can easily pull that too.

Someone picked the wrong numbers. Even older homes tend to have 100A panels, in newer homes 150A and even 200A are more common.

It sounds like he's presenting a real edge case but not making it clear that its an edge case.
Can you explain how economic growth is like a Ponzi scheme. Lets take an example, lower income people being able to afford buying computers and use them, so computer sales go up. How is that a Ponzi?
wow people are still mindlessly parroting these talking points this far into it.

1. If there were even people who's deaths were grossly misattributed to covid (big if) they were an incredibly, insignificantly rare occurrence. Feel free to provide evidence otherwise.

2. Yes, hospitals get paid for covid deaths - as with EVERY OTHER KIND OF DEATH AND TREATMENT. This is how MEDICARE WORKS.

your comment is so common that both talking points are addressed in one article:

Its still pretty informative and eye opening at least for me
Why do you say that? Are semi jobs worse-paid than other skilled jobs, or do they have worse conditions?
Yes, I've experienced working at a company (remotely) that doesn't let devs use a local db, they must all use a dev db. It can take a few seconds to load some API calls. It's less than ideal, but on the other hand, most devs hate or don't know how to setup their own environments so...
You're so disconnected from reality that I think you should simply stop. If not for your own credibility then because of empathy to people suffering or who have suffered from a burnout. You're just adding an insult to an injury.

You’re making a (possibly reasonable) leap of logic, but formally speaking, the parent post is 100% correct.
You’re right, I am new to this whole cloud stuff, it’s not like I actually work for the largest cloud provider in the world in the consulting department where it’s my job to know this (hint: I do).

It’s also not like I wrote my first line of code in 1986 (Hint guess what the 74 in my name signifies).

Now that hopefully we can dispense with the idea that I don’t know how this computer stuff works. Please answer the question. How do I get everything I need from my computer to this thin client? How do I keep my environment in sync with this thin client?

Governments loans in their own currency, indexed on inflation.

Username checks out. That is to say, I too use Linux full time on laptop / will ignore games just because I'd have to reboot into Windows or fiddle with WINE / advocate for free software free society / use F-Droid instead of the Play Store... and yet for me, a Linux phone just wouldn't cut it. I'm already feeling impaired with blocking Google Play Services on Android, various apps don't run and sometimes I pretty much need them. So I will tend to say you're the outlier here and this is not a good definition of a daily driver for virtually everyone, though ideally you wouldn't have to be an outlier because I fully agree with your ideals.

That applies to Americans too. TSMC will have trouble sourcing good talent for their new plant.
I agree. His wording is interesting though: "it is not unusual" - Maybe he means some case with exceptionally small houses in a climate where AC is not needed and not installed and noone uses electric heat?

Coordination is an in interesting aspect. The nice thing is that these cars tend to have internet connections and the ability to remotely control charging. In my area, we are already seeing utilities experiment with offering incentives to allow remote control to improve load management.

The technical solutions in many cases no longer require additional hardware.
I should've made it clear above but I don't necessarily look for new books.

But since the economic context has changed over the past year or so, I thought some old litterature written back when inflation and interest rates were at record levels may be of help if (re)read today.

New books I can find them easily, but it's the old and gold stuff that's hard to come by.
Kids don't bully because they're poor. They bully because the other kid is different (e.g. jocks vs geeks), they bully to gain peer points, and for many other reasons, that are orthogonal to public vs privaye, or poor vs rich kid.

> I want the option to control my devices. ... I want complete control over it.

Learn!

I can install my own software on my iPhone, and I can install software people have shared with me that I can inspect. I can affect the repairs I have the tools to make.

You don't need anything but a brain to learn how to do these things, but you'll definitely need a brain to understand why (or when) you shouldn't:

> I don’t understand the arguments that claim Apple needs to rule the device with an iron fist

> What problems does it cause to make the locked down experience the default with the option for me to disable that and take control of the device after I buy it?

What people like Elon Musk and Daniel Ek are asking for the ability to install software on my phone that allows them to install more software that I cannot inspect.

Now to be clear: I have the ability to do this thing to my device, but I don't think I should do it for the same reason I don't want to give any application on my computer my root password -- I understand one application needs to know it, but as soon as there's two that means there are two single-points-of-failure, and that's worse; a mistake in either program could reveal all of the secrets my phone has, or trick me into giving away ones that are only in my head.

I am also glad it is a little difficult because it means my friends and family cannot be easily tricked into doing it.
