> But I don't think there's much argument to be had here that the M1/M2 Apple cores are just bigger

> You pretty much can make 2 cores fit inside of the M1 core

My entire point has simply been debunking this. I'm pointing out that Apple, Intel, and AMD have similarly large area budgets for their big cores. Like, looking at actual chips produced on the same TSMC processes, you cannot fit two Zen4 cores inside of the space taken by one M1 or M2 P-core. You cannot fit two Zen2 or Zen3 cores within the space taken by one A12Z P-core. All of them have a somewhat similar per-core area budget, with difference in L2/LLC cache tradeoffs being the biggest differentiator in area.

And yes, even outside of cache they make different tradeoffs with what they spend the area on. Zen4 spends area on 512b registers and 256b ALUs, and clocking past 5GHz. Apple spends it on scalar resources and deep reordering. I'm not arguing that one tradeoff is universally better than the other, just that they end up similarly big.

Since you brought up cache throughput, Zen4 does 32B/cycle between L1 and L2 [1]. Anandtech measured M1's L2 cache throughput at about 440 GB/s across the 4 P-cores [2], which works out to 34B/cycle/core. Which sure sounds like the same per-core throughput to me.

> You can just... look at the damn die shot

I... did? That's how I estimated L2 cache and tags at 28% of Zen4's 3.84mm^2. Do you believe that that is incorrect, or that the M1 and M2 P-core areas of 2.281-2.756 mm^2 quoted by Semianalysis are incorrect?

Ultrasound technicians have a limit to how long they can work because of wear and tear (they hold the scanner a lot). Repetitive stuff isn't good.

And like lots of people have damaged their knees running. It isn't obscure.
I wonder if you could do some sort of noise cancelling of the prop noise?
Login Screen that promotes artists
I have friends and family who are artists and, honestly, most of them
are very talented. They all would like to sell their art but none of them spend any time at all on that. They just keep making more art.

The other day I was working on the design code to update the login screen on an app I make and couldn't help but think "this is really boring". That led me to ponder if there was a way to make it more fun, or at least somewhat interesting, for users and it occurred to me that putting a random background image of art on that screen might actually do that.

So I did a search for some example js code that does this and found some to start hacking with to implement that "feature", and I think it's pretty cool.

While testing it I found it a bit mesmerizing. I just kept clicking "Reload" to see what would come up next and there's an uplifting feeling I got when a painting came up that appealed to me. I'd like to think that would happen to users of my apps.

Adding a link to the artist's website or contact info on that login screen might even help them sell some art without having to even think about promoting it.

I've already implemented this in the next update to one of my apps and it will be interesting to see how users respond to it.

Of course, my little web apps won't do much for artists but since this is such a simple thing to implement I think it's worth putting it out there for others to consider.

If you're interested you can check out a simple single page demo I made at https://azartiz.com/logindemo.html. Just reload the page to go through the images. There are around 40 it will randomly choose one from.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I was thinking of a more hands-of approach in terms of what I do vs what the user does. So in terms of this feature request, it would actually be implemented client side. That is, I would update the client to ask the user if they want this new feature, then use IF EXISTS to see if the table already exists, and if it does, tell the user to fix it themselves. Or could we keep all the metadata in a seperate table and JOIN it on the ID? In any event, I'm literally just a reliable file server and a UI in this equation (plus backups).

For context, this would really be aimed at developers and admins to manage data for their clients or co-workers. Stuff that currently is an excel sheet, but needs to leave excel world to do some mundane task, such as filling a pdf and uplading it somewhere. You could do this is word mailmerge + excel, but now you (the admin) are in charge of performing this mundane task every week. And belive me this kind of thing is very common. In fact, the one special thing I may do is somehow write the data into an excel file and somehow allow them to sync to each other (not the logic part from either side though).

Not even sure if I would try to sell or just make it for free. It wouldn't be something streamlined like airtable, although if it got interest maybe I would take your approach.

If you like my idea btw, feel free to use it! I have nothing but respect for fly.io, I used it breifly for a side project and it was realy simple to set up. You saying you like my idea actually gives me confidence in trying it out, thank you!
> zero respect in society

Is that really how you see it? I've never felt that way about the contractors coming to do work at my house. On the contrary, after I fork over a thousand bucks a day (minimum) for their expert work, I'm wondering if they're in fact a bit higher in the social hierarchy than I am. I feel a little self-conscious sometimes admitting that I move bits around on a screen for a living and have to hire someone to do the real work when it's time.
Congrats on the launch ! I'm the lead dev of Karate[1] and was wondering if you had come across it. I strongly agree with you that collaboration should be via Git and the IDE[2] and that traditional solutions fall short. I hope Karate's syntax passes your "memory friendly" test :) We get regular feedback is that it is easy to read and even non-programmers can pick it up.

One thing I feel we do really well is chaining of HTTP requests. And we have plugins for IntelliJ[3] and Visual Studio Code[4].

Maintaining a tool like this as open-source is a big effort, all the best !

> the solution is to simply not use GNOME.

Wew, there we go!. At least it's being said plainly and openly at this point. GNOME is for GNOME OS, we have plenty of other choices in its absence. Sorry to authors of GTK apps caught in the middle!

This line coming from the project that took what 10+ years to add thumbnails to the file picker? Do y'all not realize how this comes off? It's really something.
There's an interesting other factor that I don't think you're considering here. If you had surplus cash I'd be willing to bet you'd be more willing to pay someone to do this rather than do it yourself. Most people aren't going to YouTube University for the pleasure of learning new things, but rather because they need to learn something new and need to save some cash.

I don't know about you, but my repair self-sufficiency came out of being poor and having to do things myself because I had an excess of time but not an excess of cash. This seems to be a rather common divide I see in people. Though I'll be honest, I don't think most people even want to learn these things, even if they are strapped for cash.

So the interesting factor I see here is really about a wealth distribution. A fundamental aspect of capitalism is that money needs to constantly be changing hands. There are many factors in an economy that can slow down the exchange of capital and this seems to be one of them.
Very clever use of the word travail. Was the irony intentional, gwern? (See the tail end of the definitions ;)

travail noun

tra·vail tr-vāl tra-vāl

1a: work especially of a painful or laborious nature : TOIL

1b: a physical or mental exertion or piece of work : TASK, EFFORT

1c: AGONY, TORMENT

2a: LABOR, CHILDBIRTH
You don't need fiber in your diet at all and when you remove it you will be amazed how much your digestion improves.
Strong second on this point. It was especially rough on couples since you need to find two jobs and deal with things like what happens if your tenure track job is in a field/area which assumes everyone has family wealth (you’ll see - in 2022 - faculty jobs listed in NYC paying $40k!). Don’t forget there’s often a narrow window: too many years out of your Ph.D program and it gets harder since you’re assumed to be stale/flawed even if the true constraint on the job market was budget cuts.

I’m reminded of a friend who moved - with no prior experience living outside of the U.S. - to Tasmania because that’s the one place in the world where their partner could get a permanent job when they were on the market. That’s worked out well for their family but it’s nothing like the way a software developer can be flexible.

Maybe the problem is lumping entirely too many people under the generic term 'journalist.' Then it becomes very easy to find examples you hate. Of course, it should also make it easier to find examples you love, yet it rarely seems to happen that way.

1. There's two costs being confused here. The impact of a doctor burning out or otherwise retiring and no longer using their qualifications, requiring the training of a junior doctor with required specialisations at a potential cost of USD$250k-$1M[1] and many years of waiting. And the much less significant impact of a doctor using their qualifications to find an equivalent job with a different employer. In the later example, it's a fairly standard professional recruitment process and cost.

2. Stock options are a risky gamble for employees and employers alike. Neither party can rely upon stock options too heavily as a retention tool because no one knows what the stock options would be worth 3 years in the future. If it's really essential to keep employees on for numerous years then guaranteed salary increases would be a better way to ensure employees are adequately compensated for the detriment to their career of staying in the same organisation doing the same work for a long period of time. And of course, proactively ensuring employee salaries are _always_ in the top decile of industry/specialisation salaries is needed too because it is not uncommon for some labour rates to move +10% in a single month. Many employers with a high NIPE/PPE[2] could easily pay higher salaries if they desired to keep employees for longer periods of time.

3. Aren't patents are meant to protect such R&D investments? Employers benefit from hiring from each other creating a mixture of technical knowledge and culture that is gained from employees having worked in different roles and projects elsewhere. Thus I struggle to comprehend why employee movement would be viewed as a net negative overall that justifies non-compete agreements.

To me it feels like the range of $90k-900k is for all SWE IC levels, whereas the job post is specifically for L5. It cannot be that the range is so broad for a specific SWE level. By posting the overall range of SWE, the whole exercise becomes meaningless, because, of course interns earn (relatively) peanuts and the one "John Carmack guy" almost makes a million..
Priority can’t be self-declared unless there’s an economic cost attached to it. FedEx envelopes cost a lot more than regular mail. People who classify an email as high priority aren’t gaining much of an advantage as recipients are already jaded by people who mark every single outgoing email as high priority. Emergency vehicles can only make up a tiny fraction of total road traffic. Microsoft Windows and ISPs reset packet DSCP bits to 0, otherwise every program would request EF handling.
Good points - it's likely that I won't be opening these up anytime soon. Most of the synths in question take 12V @ <800mA @ 12V (so ~10W) and usually come with a 12V 1A supply. Or they take 9V (current ranges). And there are a few that take USB power already. I'd imagine everything being either on or off and not having to hit the first problem too often.

The second problem is something I'd definitely avoid. I think I only have one or two odd values (5.7V etc.)

Definitely something that's more of a pipedream - I hope someday synth manufacturers will just settle on USB-C as the common power standard instead of having something different for each device.

I wish you had replied to my original question. I am quite curious. You must have worked out that a 60% discount, or a 66% penalty from the perspective of monthly users, is more profitable for you.

I suspect the reason is people paying annually, using it for a month, then not using it again. Or forgetting to cancel an annual plan. In short, the old school gym membership model.

Is that right or are there other factors that play into the pricing?

It's self-sustaining at this point.

I wouldn't bother with an accelerator largely because I know I wouldn't find a social fit, and the informal connections are so much of the value prop. If YC had 25% women, they'd get to 40% pretty quickly. But so long as they're <5%, it's going to asymptotically approach 0%.

Also I'm confident that biases would factor into not only YC selection, but also (and more importantly) the investors who traditionally work with YC companies, since they just don't see women outside of "fem-tech" and fashion, in part because that's how YC selects.

My perspective may be as much a product of my pattern recognition of consistently having to deal with sexism as it is the valley being sexist, but either way I'm just done with it.

Yes, it would be helpful if they helped fight abuse, but that is not necessary of them. Having the capability is a competitive advantage so it would be in their interest to invest in it.
> Second, I don't see any harm in sharing public data .... Are these negative reactions only because its Google?

100% I do not trust Google to do remotely the right thing that is in the interest of anyone but themselves.

These people served their country for the government to give that data to a private company for profit? Google can talk all they want about doing it for good, zero trust in them to actually to anything remotely close to that.

And as we've seen with Google in the past, what they say they will do today does not mean that standard will still apply tomorrow.
I joined a really great (tm) super awesome tech company as a remote worker.

They had zero understanding of my skills, I was never integrated into anything, most of them forgot I existed, left out of key meetings and my boss never advocated for me.

I have extremely unique and advanced skills in this particular problem domain. Didn’t matter at Big Company (tm). Oh we will throw some juniors in there who will spend five years relearning all the lessons about what not to do.

You are treated way more like a replaceable part with remote work.

After very extensive training that company had, spinning up and everything, I realized my situation was hopeless. I just wasn’t going to “win” regardless of exertion level.

It didn’t help that the team at that company was hyper competitive and ultra hostile to outsiders. Not only was I not included, they went out of their way not to include a certified outsider (tm).

So i quit and joined a startup.

It was the biggest waste of everyone’s time. I think they got next to zero value out if me and wasted a ton of resources training me.

Remote work is career death if your company is not remote first. Kind of trying to sprinkle some remote workers into such a situation doesn’t work. I wasn’t the only one.

Probably a common story. Remote worker versus HQ politics.

You are at a total disadvantage. HQ workers are political and have no interest in helping out some rando new hire remote worker.

So yeah, it was clear how pointless it was.
"The masses" don't use Linux. They use Windows, Mac, or their phone, or even Chromebooks.

Correct.

ML papers always try to find the most similar examples in the training set, and rarely find a close match.
That last part I pulled out of my ass, but it seems drinking was a legitimate problem for you in the past. Compulsiveness is not something the masses will ever understand (see also: kleptomania).

Given your mental health issues, consider applying for disability as a Hail Mary. Lean into how your anxiety and compulsions interfere with your ability to work. Explore whether you have undiagnosed ADHD.

I'm not advocating disability fraud, but it helps to have a secondary "physical" dysfunction to support your case (fibromyalgia is frequently claimed but I don't know how that ends). Gastrointestinal issues are also easily faked. This will take some time to build a case for, and again, I'm not advocating that you do anything fraudulent. Never, ever lie about anything in any context, ever.

You don't seem to have much to lose, and some legitimate mental issues that could have led to a different life outcome were they properly addressed.

Best of luck to you.

It's also highly dangerous. I knew a guy that was the electrician to a 50+ year old high rise. He could not turn off the power, don't know why, so he worked with live current all the time.

He joked about it but, ya, no thank you.

Except there's orders of magnitude more competition for those NBA players though, than there is for archaeology (or historian). Especially when you realize how mind-numberingly tedious it mostly is, so much cataloguing seemingly endless shards... (Or endless 16th-century documents, if you're a historian.)

But if you've really got your heart set on archaeology/history, they're not fantasies. They're just extremely niche. You're right that the parallel isn't "developer", it's more like "database engine developer". Albeit much much lower pay, in most cases. ;)

My issue is that if someone has a remarkable new style, sure it's going to be copied by humans, but it takes time to do so. And usually the original artist becomes famous along the way -- perhaps even rich.

Imagine a brand new artist who has a distinct style, but yet the art style is used to print 20,000 successful NFT rug pulls. If there was a market, there is no longer one anymore.

I think that's the problem.
