> If you want to limit spending, you have to do it at appropriations time, which is when Congress decides what to spend money on.

Yet, you say:

> Do note that Reagan spent money “we didn’t have” like it was going out of style.

No blaming of the Democrats in control of the House?

> Bill Clinton, on the other hand, left office with a surplus

So the Republican congress under the majority of Clinton's tenure had nothing to do with the spending?

> promptly squandered by George W. Bush

Yeah, that had nothing to do with 9/11, the dot com bust, or the Democratic congress which contributed to at least third of the debt under Bush even though they represent a quarter of Bush's term.
The datasheet[0] shows the device moving 8.5 watts at 85 Celsius. That doesn't sound like it's going to make laptop throttling a thing of the past. Maybe I'm not understanding something.

But it is beneficial for a smaller competitor to slowly chip away. Meanwhile googles investors might rather the legacy company return value to shareholders with greater dividends/share repurchases. While the new competitor is given blank checks with investors not wanting to monetize too much just yet.
Luke is a former colleague of mine, and I got pretty excited when I saw his new company. I got a chance to try out their beta, and it was a pretty smooth experience! I was most surprised by how affordable it was to buy a small portion of an existing photo. They made prints of Oshkosh AirVenture too.. pretty incredible.
Incredible find. Thanks.
What do you think of The Pudding (https://pudding.cool/)? They make beautiful “visual essays”. Unlike some fanciful animated sites, I feel like The Pudding’s design and animation complement the text to make the result ‘greater than the sum of its parts.
Then don't do it that way? I don't get why people are hung up on this. As I've said in other comments, you have a brain. Use it. Exercise judgement. Think.

It doesn’t absolve VCs of their fiduciary responsibilities, but it does explain their callousness. If both founders and their backers know that money is practically free, governance lapses can always be papered over by raising another round.

And since interest rates are negligible, there’s too much money chasing too few deals. Any VC that stops to do active due diligence is too late to close the deal.

ChatGPT is not good at algos
When display technology has miniaturised and matured, and the requisite wireless bandwidth is deployed at scale, you won’t need two different devices
Just for kicks:

ME: What if the Hulk was one of your customers? How would you handle him? Give specific and detailed examples.

chatGPT:
As a language model AI, I do not have any customers or clients, but I can provide you with an example of how a software development team might handle a customer like the Hulk, who is known for his incredible strength and rage.

1. Communication and collaboration:
If the Hulk is a customer, it's important to ensure that the team is able to communicate effectively with him and understand his needs. This could involve using clear and simple language when communicating with him, and providing him with detailed documentation and guides to help him understand the software being developed.
Additionally, it could also be important to have a dedicated point of contact for the Hulk, such as a project manager, who can serve as the primary liaison between the team and the Hulk. This person would be responsible for keeping the Hulk informed about the project's progress and addressing any concerns he may have.
2. Safety and Security:
As Hulk is known for his incredible strength and rage, it's important to ensure that the team's safety is a top priority. This could involve implementing security protocols such as security cameras and alarms, and having security personnel on site when the Hulk is visiting the office.
Additionally, it could also be important to have a plan in place to respond to any incidents that may occur, such as a protocol for evacuating the office in case of an emergency.
3. Technical Capabilities:
The Hulk has a specific set of abilities that are different from other customers, it's important to consider how the software will handle those abilities. For example, if the software is an application that tracks Hulk's strength, the team may need to make sure that the software can handle the high levels of data and ensure that the data recorded is accurate.
4. Empathy and Understanding:
It's important to understand and empathize with the Hulk's unique situation, such as his abilities and limitations, and how those factors may affect his interactions with the software. This could involve conducting user research with the Hulk to gain a better understanding of his needs and how the software can be designed to best meet those needs.

It's important to keep in mind that the Hulk is a fictional character, and in real life, the safety and well-being of the team should always be the top priority. The above examples are purely fictional and should not be applied in real life situations.

Anyway... I think my point is unmistakably clear.

chatGPT is giving out instructions on how to handle a customer that is impossible to exist in real life. If you're thinking this thing is some generic text generator think again.

Everything before chatGPT was an interesting toy. Something changed with chatGPT.

Fission gets billions of dollars of free public money for research every year and had much more spent in the past.

> The worst proponents of nuclear are so called environmentalists who's feelings over facts have caused far more harm to the environment (mining for rare earths anyone?).

Modern PV involves less rare earths than a nuclear reactor for the same energy output. DFIG wind generators use none. New batteries use none.

Uranium mining on the other hand poisons thousands of km^2, and is almost never properly remediated. Tailings dams of mines that ran out decades ago still need constant maintenance (often on the public dime) to not spew heavy metal laden dust everywhere.

> If we would have continued research into other than light water reactors instead of abandoning it we'd be burning "nuclear waste" instead of arguing where to bury otherwise useable fuel.

Trillions were spent on 'burning nuclear waste' by which you actually mean creating larger quantities of Pu240 and Pu241 (the worst high level waste) than a burner reactor does and dumping fission products into the ocean. It went nowhere.
> I don’t know anybody that regularly used “It’s a cancer” in english other than to express a severe dislike/disapproval/alarm about a thing.

That seems about right; people are expressing a severe dislike about this.

I'm not entirely sure if I follow where we still disagree then? You asked for "empirical study that says Diversity programs are literally the same thing as glioblastoma" in your earlier comment, but clearly it's understood that "cancer" is this context does not refer to a disease, but is used more metaphorically.

Whether people should be using such language is a different matter altogether.

They did not.

Should they have? Maybe.

They for sure impacted some groups more than others. I was in Nest (Devices+Services), and I hear we were impacted worse than Search. For example, Fuchsia OS team had heavy cuts. Interestingly, it did impact even AI/Search/Ads, which I didn't expect. Maybe there was a performance component, but it is quite opaque, and there definitely were good/average performers who were impacted. Certainly plenty who weren't in the bottom 6%.

> Taiwan is not Somalia. It's a fairly advanced country with a fairly good military (comparing to its size).

Yes, I live here, all of my friends have served in the military. They believe a likely strategy is gun boats coming up the river for the presidential palace.

BTW, the military is quite effective, but numbers about size usually include the conscripted, who are basically useless as soldiers as they get to shoot a gun maybe once during conscription and spend most of their time sweeping rocks because boomer officers stuck at conscript boot camp have outdated and ageist ideas about discipline and take out their resentment on the conscripts.

From my time in the PRC the same is true for pla conscripts.
> I thought health insurance puts a cap on how much you can get charged.

Instead of annual out-of-pocket maximums that are mandatory under the ACA and make that unlikely, plans used to have kind of the reverse: lifetime coverage caps that particularly severe conditions could exceed. (This is one of the reasons premiums are higher for superficially similar—e.g., what services are covered and at what cost sharing rule befoee reaching caps—coverage under the ACA.)

I can't see how it can happen post-ACA, unless the condition as a practical matter requires services that are entirely outside the scope of coverage.

Did I say, chatGPT will write software? No. It's the precursor to the thing that will. chatGPT wasn't even specifically trained to write software. It just happens to do it as a random side effect. Wait till they make the thing that specifically targets writing software.

Actually curious what evidence you have to back this up, I can imagine ChatGPT augmenting people's skills, or even being used for inspiration, I've also not seen anything to suggest it will "git gud" and just replace everyone.

I've built some nice small frameworks for projects on both CloudFlare Workers and GCP Functions that do exactly this. They are so simple to build that I can't imagine needing to even open source them... but maybe should write up a blog post on the details at some point. So many people seem to miss this detail for some reason.

The main benefit is that it sure is a lot easier/faster to deploy one function than one for each route (CI/CD goes so much faster). As well as the cold starts.
Along those lines, have you ever checked out the book Neurocomputing, Foundations of Research [0]? It's a compendium of old foundational papers that I think would be up your alley.

Researchers will find Neurocomputing an essential guide to the concepts employed in this field that have been taken from disciplines as varied as neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, engineering, and physics. A number of these important historical papers contain ideas that have not yet been fully exploited, while the more recent articles define the current direction of neurocomputing and point to future research. Each article has an introduction that places it in historical and intellectual perspective.

Given that the author of the term wrote a whole book about it rather than just tweeting those steps, I think over-complicating may be part of its genetics. Others are just continuing the trend.

For the record: yeah, short-cycle red/green/refactor fits how I like to do TDD. I don't know that I'd claim that it is TDD though - by far the majority I've run across take it to extremes, though of course my coding-exposure circle is skewed and may not even remotely be representative.

In that way, TDD sits in a very similar brain-space for me as Scrum does. Useful foundations, utter nonsense if taken to extremes, unsure if a net-positive influence (globally, not personally) in the end. I have seen a looooot of negative-value tests, in ever-increasing quantity as time goes on, in the name of TDD.
The day 2001: A Space Odyssey opened in a theatre where I live the prac physics class at my university was almost empty much to the chagrin of the physics tutor. He didn't need to be told why his class had disappeared such was the film's publicly.

Next day we all cropped it especially me because I'd also just written a critical piece in the student rag about how badly science was being taught—right, it didn't go unnoticed (sometimes one loses one's presence of mind and that was just such an occasion).

I recall leaving the theatre with my mates in complete silence, we were essentially struck dumb while trying to understand or explain the film's unusual ending. Eventually we stammered out what we thought were explanations whilst trying to find the right adjectives. I cannot ever recall leaving another film in such a strange emotional state.

I am not and never have been a science fiction movie fan - Star Wars and such leave me bored to tears, I find science itself far more intesting, it's actually real and not just make believe. However, 2001 is in a different league altogether and for me the film remains one of the truly great film masterpieces. Much has been written about it so there's nothing I can add except to say it has stood the test of time—over a half century later it still thrills and entertains.

Only two weeks ago I saw the film again on TV and it still has retained much of its original aura. Yes, time and technology has partially caught up with it but only just—and I wish the film would be fully restored or digitally remastered to its former glory.

(I recall seeing a re-release of the film some seven or eight years after its first screening, this time in 70mm and not in its original Super Panavision format and I was somewhat disappointed as the print had lost some of its original lustre, the fantastic kaleidoscopic colours that appeared towards the end of the film were less intense and less saturated than the original (none of the copies I've seen since have equalled the truly excellent quality of that original Super Panavision print I saw back in 1968.)
In case anyone is interested, I have started on a natural language programming web app based on OpenAI's API.

https://aidev.codes. By default it is like the OpenAI JavaScript playground, except it immediately hosts the results in a web page and allows you to edit the accumulated prompt.

Also can edit specific files. Many improvements planned. Tonight I got a lot of stuff done related to creating and searching knowledgebases using embeddings.

> Google employees need to understand that its no longer a company that has their interests at heart.

Google has spent decades trying to create this image, but you're right.

> Is the expectation that leadership will really provide more clarity on why high performers were laid off?

The company said nothing. If you don't know why someone was impacted, you can't know how to avoid future impact if you survived. Its bad for morale if everyone is looking over their shoulder.

If the company hit low-performers, than its flawed if coworkers perceive a high-performer impacted (which is scary, since you could be the false-positive next).

If its based on team (more important team, less important team), than people in "low priority" teams will want to prep their resume.

> Why?

Morale. If your employees are scared, they may work harder now, but they won't be loyal, and you may have issues long-term. Compare google to amazon.

> If plenty of average talent people get hired at FAANG (they do, from a statistically reasonably sized sample). Then being above average talent is not a minimum requirement for joining FAANG.

Where is the study or data on that? Just repeating things and sprinkling in terms "statistically reasonably sized sample" doesn't make it true. I know you want it to be true (and it may be true) but that is not evidence for that.
Even if pip was a little better I still wouldn’t use it, because Poetry solves the problem so well you’d need to pull it out of my cold hands. It solves not only the install package problem, but locking, venvs, project structure and packaging in a well integrated solution with a fantastic UX.

If poetry (or similar) were renamed to Pip and it were to be included in the stdlib id obviously switch.

It doesn’t solve the single static binary problem or docs problems, but it’s much much closer.
