You are getting downvoted but ipv6 was ratified in 1998. The sunken cost fallacy is real here. At what point or threshold should there be a proposal for a simple address length extension of IPv4. Even in cloud providers who have an army of sysadmins and netadmins they don't support v6 in private networks.

Let's be very honest here, does anyone have a good reasom to believe another 25 years would mean ipv6 would displace ipv4 or even solve the address shortage when cgnat and other workarounds are profitable to network vendors?

-----

My controversial solution is to stop using numbers for addressing on layer3. A new IP protocol should have hierarchial domain name addressimg. So google.com would have .com as the top domain you would have routes for each TLD with non-ISPs default routing tlds like .com, ISP networks would resolve the route for .google under the .com routing table and so on. Upper layers would be oblivious except that you have less code now. On LANs you can create whatever domain hierachy works for you so long as the TLD is part of a predefined list. TLDs will have a fixed maximum length of 128bits for routing performance amd such. PKI/TLS would work just fine except now you have an extra layer of security in that ISP routing tables would have to also route to the wrong AS and can implement source route (customer1244.telecast.isp) validation to make mitm only slightly harder and address spoofing ddos impossible. So forget about numbers, ascii is also numbers. You are already doing this with v6 and 2600:: and other prefixes. As for layer3 translation, I have an even more controversial idea that will also solve wifi security and lan based mitms for good but for another comment.
In a couple of places, Jaroslav Pelikan quotes Benjamin Breckenridge Warfield's Augustine and Calvin (a book and an author I've never heard of elsewhere) as saying "the Reformation, inwardly considered, was just the ultimate triumph of Augustine's doctrine of grace over Augustine's doctrine of the church." A selection of Luther's writings shows numerous entries for Augustine in the index--not all for support, it is true.

A dip into Calvin's Institutes of Religion turns up references to Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, Gregory Nazianzus, Basil, Chrysostom, and Bernard of Clairvaux.

[edit: the sentence on Calvin]

People saying the title doesn't match the tweet are incorrect.

When she says "it's not about the $", she doesn't mean "it's not about salaries". She means "it's not about the (supposed) cost savings". And this is correct.

The power and flexibility gained by workers in the late 2010s being "reined in" is exactly about suppressing worker compensation and benefits. In a tight labor market, keeping and hiring employees gets real expensive. Coordinated layoffs are to shift that power balance back in the employer's favor and if you think that won't reflect in salaries, you're crazy.

Remember that many of these companies generate in excess of $1 million in profit per employee. That's profit.

As good as tech workers have (had?) it, the fundamental forces pushing the exploitation of labor still apply.

EDIT: corrected gender.
You seem to miss what "overbuild" means.

Nobody is relying on 1000 kW from that array. If it is a 3x overbuild, then they are counting on only 300 kW from it, with any extra going to charge storage or put on a transmission line to sell. Their shortfall under stormclouds is then 300-75=225 kW. After their storage has been depleted, if power from elsewhere is already spoken for, that is how much they will draw from their backup generator. At night, when the array produces zero, demand is lower, but anyway their backup generator can take the whole 300 kW load when necessary.

But it is not often necessary. Often they can fill the shortfall from storage or from a transmission line with power from elsewhere, maybe wind, or maybe even from the next town's storage if they predict they won't need it right away. The town will deliver excess stored energy they have on the same terms.

After developing some experience, and prices for panels have plummeted further, maybe the town builds out another 2x. Then they generate 125 kW under storm conditions, and the shortfall is only 175 kW. The rest of the time they can charge their storage faster and then sell more to the grid.

How much to spend overbuilding generation vs. how much on growing storage capacity is a complicated calculation. Both are capex for equipment that cuts hard-to-predict costs. Building more later gets you lower prices, but only starts saving you money after it's built.

Of course in practice all the solar and wind farms push to the grid at the bid price, and the town draws power from the grid at the asking price. Storage and gas generators push power to the grid when bid price exceeds their profit threshold. Storage draws from the grid to charge when the asking price is low enough, which is never when the gas generator is pushing. Nukes never see the bid price exceed their cost, but must take what is offered or shut down; all not heavily subsidized via tax will shut down.

Anything you write that is not silly, I promise not to call silly.

I'm not sure which "quote" you're talking about. I carefully did not say Phase 1 was shortened.

The reason for sequencing, in the abstract, would be that if Phase 2 looks like "hey, this thing really works!" then the pressure to approve it would become irresistible. Whereas if Phase 1 finds unacceptable side effects, then Phase 2 would never start.

Note again that I'm not saying that's what happened.
You linked me to an article written by a neuroscientist who is curious if there is an effect, so finds "only two studies [which] empirically weigh in on this question, both conducted by the same group in Spain".

The first shows barely any effect, the second a slight negative effect. "To put it in perspective, having smokers in the household, or lead in pipes, would be far more damaging. ... “Lifestyle behaviors or genetic factors probably have a much larger impact on specific groups of people”." The author later writes "I’m more compelled by the studies linking gas stoves to asthma and respiratory problems, but even this literature isn’t a slam dunk."

There's also this comment from the second paper, which the Slate author didn't mention:

] It is still possible that the associations we found in this study with nitrogen dioxide could be attributable to unmeasured indoor air contaminants, such as particulates derived from gas appliances. This is supported by the fact that, in Menorca, the principal source of gas appliances is butane bottles, a fuel more toxic than natural gas (36)

This makes it hard to compare butane cooking use in Spain with, say, natural gas cooking use in the US.

Further, they didn't conclude that there was brain damage. They found a correlation with "cognitive functioning and inattention-hyperactivity symptoms in preschoolers" and conjectured it was due to nitrogen dioxide exposure causing brain cell damage, so saying "brain damage" is going beyond the evidence.

To answer your question, the resources you pointed to suggest 1) that the amount of brain damage is small and not well established, 2) that other factors play a much larger role in comparing brain damage between North American and European countries (eg, lead), and 3) that the link between gas burning and asthma and respiratory problems is a much more relevant topic to focus on.
There's a really good general rule - if someone says it's not about the money, it's literally always about the money.

Tech layoffs from my perspective were about many companies hiring in 2021/2022 in line with the explosive growth they saw during COVID. They hired in accordance with the new trend instead of the longer-term trend. Once we reverted to the mean, most tech companies had too many employees.

Because all the tech companies were chasing the same employees, each individual employee was paid more than historical average too so it was a double-whammy.

It's not about lowering individual salaries it's about lowering aggregate salary expenses. But doing one will cause the other, too.
Finally someone comes out and says it - I totally agree. I don't recall ever having to have a "tutorial" on Subversion. Git solves a problem the average dev really doesn't have in the first place.
Throw in as much garbage as you like, the human brain is only wired to appreciate a certain degree of information before it all gets washes out as noise. This is why imho the last 20 years in cinema has been a slow skid toward meteocracy.

The race to shove more crap at the screen to the appreciation of a younger and younger demographic to chase other tertiaries like toys, collectables, games etc.. means that the films are almost unwatchable by older people. I guess they're making their money so whatever, but it means that films feel more dead than ever before for myself. Admittedly, this may be more biased by aging out of existing target demos anyways, so shrugs.
The word choice may be the same, but Japan is significantly more extreme than the US.

I'd be very interested in reading more about FGS and what they've been up to around UE5.

The idea of incrementally defenestrating UE5 in favor of in-house components is compelling to me. This path definitely works a LOT better in a team setting where you have actual artists looking for things to work on.

I don't know how the licensing actually works out around this though... Assume you went full ship of Theseus on UE5 and replaced 100% of it with in-house. Will Epic Games be happy walking away from this, or is there some fundamental legal component that we know we'd never screw with?

It’s difficult to measure performance even in the abstract. Every person in the company is a node in the network and even if a person’s objective metrics are lower than another’s, it could be that removing that node destroys institutional knowledge that causes everyone else’s performance to drop.

And as far as objective metrics, those are a crapshoot too. See: the software interview process, where people memorize useless toy problems into their brain so they look prepared for performative problem solving.

First Christians were Jews which kept the Sabbath and didn't eat unclean meat (even Jesus kept the Sabbath). Then later Christians changed many practices and diverged from the first teachings. During Reformation attempts were made to come back to original Christianity. Seventh-day Adventists for example keep the Sabbath holy and don't eat unclean meat - just like Jesus did! And there are also some other, smaller denominations which also keep the Sabbath holy - like Seventh-Day Baptists.
> It is actually hard for me to imagine why would one use that "single" mode in practice.

Yes, this is what I'm starting to discover also. Because single mode is the default I assumed for the last 9 months that it would provide similar guarantees as MergerFS. But that was my incorrect assumption. As a result of this experiment I'm investigating MergerFS and I will likely switch from multi-disk btrfs to an array of single-disk btrfs under MergerFS.

edit: actually I'm not sure I would convert my array to raid0 because the speeds I'm getting are okay. 20% of data is better than nothing. I did the same with raid0 data profile and only inlined extent files were readable

I just don't understand how anyone can believe that basic income as a fundamental right will not reprice that income towards zero purchasing power. That just seems obvious since price is relative.

It strikes me that the only way for the goal of UBI to work is exactly for it to be not be universal.
Works for me. Just like you won't be able to explain to a lay person what a computer program does doesn't mean that the logic is sound without going all the way to the atomic level. But if you really wanted to you could because a computer is a deterministic and relatively simple system, small enough to explain in principle from which we can extrapolate. Wetware doesn't have that luxury so you have the choice to believe the explainer, or not. But when dealing with such a vast gap in experience the best way is to try to learn as much as possible from such an explanation in the hope that you'll be able to capture more of it in the future. This isn't always possible, for instance due to time constraints or interest levels but in principle it could be done.
The "payment" can be taken in the form of higher share price, share buybacks, dividends, future dividends, etc.

It does not have take one specific form or another. Despite the fact that Google doesn't pay dividends, it's not a charity. Investors purchase shares of Google in order to get a return, and they have a choice between buying Google or a mortgage bond or ATT, etc.

Now for growth companies like Google, they are effectively "paying" investors with promises of stock price appreciation and high future dividends. This is why they are more sensitive to stock price declines than income investments like a cable company. It's a two edged sword - they are faster to hire and faster to fire and are more responsive to their share price.

At some point, the growth companies discover they need to start paying dividends or doing regular share buybacks in order to stabilize their price, when their growth story is no longer believed by the market.
Not sure any large human society has been free of the ills of bigotry, oppression and discrimination, tho, century by century, we keep shifting things for the slightly better.
> ...and we're still in high inflation.

This actually isn't true. On a month-over-month basis CPI was negative. If you look at the three-month moving average, it's pretty clear the inflation crisis is over at least for now.

The annual 6% number or whatever is the wrong thing to look at, look at month over month numbers. The Fed's goal isn't to zero out the price growth before throwing in the towel. Their goal is to bring annualized month over month numbers back in line with their historical 2% target on a forward-looking basis. It's very unlikely we'll deflate back to pre-crisis pricing unless the Fed makes a big mistake.

> I think companies are starting to dread the depth of the incoming recession.

For what it's worth, we're not seeing one yet. It may happen, I guess, but so far the numbers all look quite good. That said, expectations in this regard tend to become self-fulfilling.
Thanks for the thoughts. I’ll keep those options in mind if it comes to it.
100% agree. I bought 4 sonos speakers early on and they worked great. Sonos has subsequently intentionally bricked them by insisting the app has to upgrade to a version which doesn't speak to them.

AlphaGo was the tipping point, demonstrating that machines can be effective in a high-level/'creative' field with a vast search space, much larger than chess using training rather than hand-written algorithms (that don't translate to other fields). No one expected Go to be solved to the degree and manner of AlphaGo for generations. It was the start of the great acceleration in ML since Deep RNN re-ignited the field.
Yeah, that's how I think about testing in general. Tests should be a reflection of your specs. But if your specs are bad (most of them are), you should wait for them to improve. Not carve them in stone.
Self fulfilling prophesy: if everyone is cutting demand, supply will also reduce its urgency to regrow. Which affects also inflation. This is a complex chaotic system that we have the epidemic effect of belief/gossip of layoffs and recession running on top.

It is hard to time. We make it hard to time. Most likely yeah, all these layoffs are causing the problems, and following what the FED instructs them indirectly to do.
This isn't about the algorithmic feed. The linked tweet explicitly says the opposite of what the editorialized title here says it does.
Some feelings can be controlled by appropriate action. For instance if you experience fear because you don't know how something may end. You may start doing research on it and explore different outcomes. Often turns out that these outcomes aren't actually bad and such information makes fear disappear in an instant.

I think the problem with this strategy is that it causes the wrong people to leave.

That's a possibility, but there's also a good chance that very good performers who value stability will stay, particularly with senior management taking larger cuts. Will you keep that 1-in-1000-and-knows-it person? Perhaps not. Do you want to? Perhaps not (see the whole "fire the indispensable person" philosophy).

If you still get rid of bad performers but keep good to excellent ones because of good management, even if you lose the occasional rockstar your overall team quality will still rise.

In most imminent accident scenarios the optimum solution is probably going to be to apply brakes with maximum force. Once you get into calculating odds for complex scenarios involving lane departures, etc., there's a good chance you'll just make things worse.

That and the fact that no one is buying a car from a manufacturer that is optimizing outcomes for people who don't own the car.

The one time in my life I've ended up doing a high speed swerve (onto the shoulder) to avoid a collision, the only reason I had to do so was some clown who wasn't paying attention ended up swerving to avoid the car they were about to rear-end. Somewhat miraculously for all the vehicles threatening to play pinball at 65 miles per hour, no one actually collided.
