That’s why my 4 year old watches Bugs Bunny from the 40s-70s. People and shit blowing up. Guns and bombs and violence and LAUGHTER. Bugs saying, “what the heck!” And it’s ok.

yes, some kids are taught not to say “what the heck”, probably the same ones taught not to say “hate”? It’s NOT ok you hate beets, damn it. Well, you can hate them but don’t use THAT word.

I saw a couple of “Bluey” episodes yesterday (the ones Disney temporarily banned for discussing farts). I was impressed. Maybe because it’s Australian it does not have the same modern American values being taught to kids.
Meta started getting beat up about a quarter before Alphabet. They were 6 months ahead on a hiring freeze, and 3 months ahead on layoffs. They've been thinking about this a lot longer, and markets respond to if you beat the number the market was expecting, not if you beat internal or external forecasts.
I absolutely hate daily standups. I switched jobs to a company that holds one "standup" a week, and my stress has dropped significantly and my productivity has increased. Daily standups were draining my energy much more than I realized at the time.

I have trouble trusting information from sources that aren't self-critical or aware of the conversation associated with the research they're citing.

And probably hypocritically, I also want to kick back, turn off the critical side of my brain and enjoy the lectures and get some learning for free while not questioning every claim. Edutainment so to speak. But that requires a lot of trust, and if that trust seems threatened, I can't in good conscience continue my lazy learning.
> If everyone holding Alphabet decided to try to sell it tomorrow, the price would crater, because that's how markets work.

Not necessarily - Alphabet could prop up the price by using its cash and taking out loans on the company itself, if the price of the shares is truly in line with the value of the company.
It's like levels of caching. Having information in someone's head is like having it in an L1/L2 cache. Having documentation is like having the information in RAM. And having no documentation and putting things together from scratch is like hitting a hard drive.

Another point is the massive neutron flux, which will get some nuclear reaction out of the bomb material in and of itself. Neutrons will set off both fission and fusion reactions, simultaneously.
I assume smaller braced wing planes have already been made in the past, so making another similar scale one wouldn’t tell you anything new? Presumably the engineering challenges here are related to the scale of the craft now rather than other issues?

The Goiânia accident was certainly extraordinary but I was surprised to learn from a recent Guardian article how common the loss of radioactive sources actually is.

There, Dr Edward Obbard an expert from UNSW Sidney university was interviewed on the occasion of the lost capsule in Australia. The article says:

"The search for the missing capsule captured the world’s imagination, but Obbard says radioactive material goes awol about 100 times a year around the world."

Also the fact that there are at least eight nuclear bombs that have been lost and never found is always chilling. And these are only the ones from western countries we know about...

I was laid off from Google. I keep seeing posts from people who, I have to assume, just figured out how the world works and want to teach us. Guys, seriously, who didn't already know this?

Some companies stay lean, plan for difficult times. Others spend like crazy in good times and cut back in bad. Google always prided itself on being small and scrappy. That changed under Sundar, the current CEO. They started hiring a ton and now they're cutting back. The CEO still hasn't come to terms with the fact that he fucked up. He made comments in leaked meetings like, "Just imagine if we continued to grow and didn't have all of those extra people. Where would we have been?" Dude, you would have been fine. You don't grow a business by sticking more people in it. This is how accountants think about business, not leaders.

Quite impressive given you’re working with tiny snippets of songs. Kudos.

This is so interesting out of the gate that criticisms seem rather foolish. But I’ll just say what I tried.

I tried pop songs, jazz tunes, and even rather strange, unique recordings like “One Step Beyond” by Madness. And every time I got something with similar aspects.

I also like that all cultures were represented.

Would I use this to find music? Maybe? It kind of underscores that we don’t always listen just for a particular sound, but for what that artist represents to us. I may really like a band and absolutely hate a band that’s pretty much a copy of them (maybe done a few decades later) precisely because they are too much a copy.

I don’t think I could build playlists (in this current offering) because the songs are _too_ similar. Maybe if I want an exercise playlist with a particular bpm and vibe?

I think if I were looking for music for TV or advertising this would be an absolute winner. If I feel like I want a song like Daft Punk here, but I can’t afford to license it, I can use your tool to find a lot of tracks with similar vibes that I can afford or that I haven’t heard of.
To this day I will refuse to use that term, and anyone who uses it (for some reason, many product managers) goes on my bozo-list.

A treatise concerning the properties and effects of coffee (1792)
Tether loses money when buying USDT back, at whatever price. Sure, as long as they are buying it back at a smaller price than they originally sold it, they're still ok - but it's not in Tether's interest to give away its cash for USDT (since there are much better ways to make money off of cash than trading it for less than 1 cent). Especially since Tether can just print more USDT whenever they feel like it - it's not like they need to buy USDT before they can sell it again for 1$.

> Nothing guarantees optimal placement, but all the mainstream schedulers attempt an approximation of it. The general assumption in mainstream schedulers is that servers are placement-sensitive, and batch jobs aren't.

I don't know the open source schedulers well, but modern Borg batch scheduling works quite differently than (my understanding of) your description. Batch jobs are still often placement-sensitive (needing to run near a large database, for example, for bandwidth reasons). The big distinction I see is that where serving tasks get tight SLOs about scheduling latency, evictions/preemptions, and availability of resources on the machine it's scheduled on, batch tasks basically don't. They can take a while to schedule, they can get preempted frequently, and they cram into the gap between the serving tasks' current usage and limit. E.g., if a serving job says it needs 10 cores but is only using 1, a batch job might use 8 of those then just kinda suffer if the serving job starts using more than 2, because CPU is "compressible", or it will be evicted if things get really bad. In the same situation with RAM (mostly "incompressible"), the batch job gets evicted ASAP if the serving job needs the RAM, or the system involves some second-class RAM solution (cross numa node, Optane, zramfs, rdma, page to SSD, whatever). Batch doesn't get better service in any respect, but it's cheaper.

> As for cost: we rent out server space. We rack servers to keep up with customer load. The more load we have, the more money we're making. If we're racking a bunch of new servers in FRA, that means FRA is making us more money.

and in the article, you wrote:

> It was designed for a cluster where 0% utilization was better, for power consumption reasons, than < 40% utilization. Makes sense for Google. Not so much for us.

IIUC, you mean that whoever you're renting space from doesn't charge you by power usage, so you have no incentive to prefer fully packing 1 machine before scheduling something on every machine available. Spreading is fine. Makes sense economically (although I'm a little sad to read it environmentally because the power usage difference should still be real).

I think another aspect to consider is avoiding "stranded" resources. Avoiding situations in which say a task that needs most/all of a machine's remaining RAM but very little CPU gets scheduled on a machine with a whole bunch of CPU available, effectively making that CPU unusable until something terminates. You've got headroom, but I presume that's based on forecasted need, and if that gets higher because you'll still have stranded resources when that need comes, the stranding is costing you real money.

Maybe this problem is avoided well enough just by spreading things out? or maybe you don't allow weird task shapes? or maybe (I'm seeing your final paragraph now about growth) it's just not worth optimizing for yet?

Unfortunately, the Go team was misguided by vocal minority who was using the "missing generics" argument as an excuse why they do not switch to Go from their favorite programming languages. The majority of working Go developers were happy with Go, so they didn't take part in the debates and surveys about generics.

The irony is that vocal minority still do not use Go, since they have other excuses now - "bad error handling", "missing functional features", etc. But if these harmful features will be implemented in Go, the vocal minority will find another reason why they do not use Go.
