so what? the SEC can easily fuck around and get their entire charter invalidated by Congress or the court if they go after the wrong organization, nearly every creature of the New Deal got the same fate and the SEC operates right at the edge of its authority and constitutional rationality already.

and its not even clear if 13F filings are that important, aside from "its mandated by the SEC", Ensign Peak didn't challenge this, they got a tap on the shoulders after their lawyer's solution was questioned, and they changed their tactics. Leave it up to someone else to actually challenge it.

A tiny settlement is best. Its a joke, I agree with that, but it is also rational.

I tried a few apple watches, and almost got used to the routine of daily charging, but other annoyances made me try others. Eventually I settled for a Garmin smartwatch and the difference that having to charge once every 10-15 days is huge (you give up a few features, but surprisingly little, at least for my use case). I hope this new emphasis on energy efficiency enables this on laptops (and cellphones)
The main use case for crypto is creating ponzi schemes, skirting security laws, and other types of scams. The dotcom boom was not like this.

People keep comparing the dotcom boom with crypto as if they're similar. They're not. One had extremely clear use cases and already contributed to society through easier to access information and faster communication. Crypto does not have.

I remember thinking about this too but there is a higher level of inequality in India which appears to be hampering progress.

> Inequality using the Gini index is 24% higher in India than in China according to income, but 9% higher in China than in India according to consumption. Something similar is found if we compare urban and rural areas across countries

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1043951X2....

Edit: The reason I mention this is due to access to higher level of education can be correlated to the income inequalities in general. Add to that China's massive social services and pushes for science related education they definitely are showing some advantages.
Of course, by design the knives would also need to take a bit of the user's blood.
To be honest, just being able to work half a day on Fridays is a huge improvement. I'm doing that currently (weekend starts at noon), and I get to do a lot of things with those 4 extra hours. Any chores of other things I'd do on Saturdays, I now do on Fridays after work.

I also used to work shifts for quite some time, and while I hated working nights/evenings, we "only" worked around 30 hours a week. So most of my weeks had odd days off here and there. Sometimes longer and more consecutive days. That is what I miss the most.

But having tried that, I can say that for me: Three consecutive days off > Two consecutive days off + one random day off here and there > Two consecutive days off.
> arbitration almost always increases options for consumers

A: could agree to arbitration or decide to go to trial.

I fail to see how B provides more options for consumers than A.
From some quick research, it at least says that he's based in Denmark - but I couldn't figure out where he actually grew up.

That said, from what I know, education in Denmark and Germany is sufficiently similar for my hypothesis to not really hold. Another interesting data point is that he is in marketing (advises people on how to cold email potential customers from what I've read) - maybe that's a more meaningful cohort. Not education per se, more socialisation in the work life.

But I suppose correlation does not imply causation anyway.
In some countries there is also a lot of regulation actually not helping, e.g., pregnant women not allowed to work/work in certain ways - and I am not talking about super high risk jobs here.
Isn’t a low birth rate considered good? It’s one of the defining attributes of a developed nation. Not to mention the ecological footprint of each human, contributing to pollution, climate change, and overpopulation? Humanity should be striving to flatten and eventually reverse population growth, so achieving a low rate like this should be admirable.

Maybe it’s bad for our current economic systems, but as we reduce birth rates we also need to be looking for economic systems that don’t simply rely on an ever-increasing population of worker bees.
The Korean content is easily some of the best TV around right now. Not sure I'd lump it in with the rest. Squid Game, Little Women, The Glory, Itaewon Class, and numerous other Netflix Korean shows are definitely top tier TV.

> Most of it isn't even -good- content, and they're all either poorly dubbed, or not dubbed at all.

Watch them with subtitles, then? Dubbing is usually awful and changes the actual dialog so it can match the lip movements. I'm not going to down anyone who watches dubs, but if your complaint is that the dubs are bad, the only way to get around that is to use the subs.

Bridges, highways, sewers etc all still need maintenance even if there are less people using them.

I'm not sure how you somehow drew the conclusion that Windows' warning is better than Chrome's.

Windows says "Now I know I say this for literally every program you download, but I'll say it again. It might be harmful because all programs can do anything at all. Good luck!".

Chrome says: "This might be harmful and it can do these things: X, Y, Z."

Apart from the stupid scrollbar issue that's clearly better.

The only problem is they have done the permission model that we've known for like a decade is broken: ask for permissions up front, you can grant all or deny all.

Could they not have spoken to the Android team who spent like a decade fixing that mistake and moving to fine grained on demand permission prompts?

yeah it's unfortunate that in their drive to plan and centralize everything they overlooked that the reasons why people have kids are not at all economical or even rational anymore. Unlike some type of steel or concrete, you can't just build a child factory and flip a switch to catch up on the 5-year plan. Although who knows, if they really put their mind to it, maybe some kind of massive propaganda campaign like "if you're not having children you are betraying your country" may work? who knows.
7 square inches would also include an enormous GPU and tons of accessories.

The actual cores are about .6/2.3 mm², and local interconnects and L2 roughly double that.

So with just those parts, 256 P-cores would be about 1.5 square inches, and 256 E-cores would be about half a square inch. And in practical terms you can fabricate a die that's a bit more than a square inch.

Of course it wouldn't use 1000 watts. When you light up that many cores at once you use them at lower power. And I doubt a 256 core design would have all that many P cores either.

As a rough estimate, you could take the 120mm² M1 chip, add 28 more P-cores with 110mm², 220 more E-cores with 300mm², 128 more MB of L3 cache with 60mm², 100mm² of miscellaneous interconnects, and still be on par with a high end GPU.

That sounds doable but is pushing it. A 128 core die, though, has nothing stopping it except market fit.
And I am saying the author obviously does not care, but if you do care then the macs are the heavier ones or same (e.g. t480s weighs as much as the air despite being 14 inch). Rule of thumb: non-apple weighs about 70% of apple, e.g. X1 Nano vs air or X1 vs pro.
The internet is the representation of the human "meta-mind".

Organisations are seen as a slow form of AI. Their decision making is different to what each individual would make so it represents a different form of "mind".

All humanity (to some definition of all) is also a "mind" - its currently trying to decide on problems like "climate chnage"

The workings of that mind, a brain scan if you like, is the internet. It's a map of the state of each neuron (my twitter history?) and the interconnections between those are how the brain thinks. And we can see into the workings of that mind, and indeed alter it.

AI trained from
that "brain scan"
is simply an model of human meta mind we can play with faster.

Any problems with ChatGPT are therefore problems with humanity.

Waterfall works great when you have a lot of confidence in the problem and solution. In fact waterfall is the better process in that case.

Can you explain how I can tease out this multivariate issue to rule out these economic incentives are at play?

I think looking at a two dimension "elder social security" and "fertility rate" you are going to see a correlation, but it is confounded by lots of other things including "cost vs personal benefit of raising child", access to contraceptives, education level, etc. I think it would be absolutely wild if you could just look at the numbers for Korea and Japan and just nope out on this one.
I heard it's not always reliable, since the proprietary drivers cannot be easily reverse engineered.
I've seen people say that many times, without addressing the merits of the issue. And I've seen many strawperson arguments - i.e., the Middle Ages weren't uniformly awful - but nothing that compares the track records of before and after.

It seems straightforward - most of what we have is post-Middle Ages, from our political systems to our economies, science, technology, arts; and the results are orders of magnitude better.
Also, the old can take care of the really young, freeing up the young to do other stuff, from working double shifts to fighting wars.
This is only a problem as long as ChatGPT uses human output to learn. Once it starts learning against the "real world", or itself, the biggest difference between ChatGPT and us will disappear: that ChatGPT gets all it's information secondhand, and filtered, at best.

This is of course also a necessary condition for ChatGPT to come up with original insights. Except perhaps where it comes to things like fiction, which probably has value in itself.
Not that many developers even try writing UB-free C (or C++), or want to. Almost always the UB works (might not be portable, might break with a future compiler...) but im those cases they just debug the issues (or blame the compiler or don't update after all). I guess for moat projects that approach is actually economical.

And once the kid pops out it's "You better watch them for 10 years straight and if you even lose concentration for a second you're going to jail." You almost need your own house and yard because children caught in public nowadays results in criminal charges and CPS visits, and it's entirely impractical to have supervision on children at all times for a decade straight.

If it wasn't a government-mandated day (e.g. Friday is now part of the weekend) then you'd have to ensure days off were split such that there was coverage of the whole working week - which is exactly what service industries that need more than 9-5 x 5 days a week availability often do currently.
> I think the world could end up with multiple charging ports, too.

It will. In most of the world it will be CCS type 2 Combo and MCS. Both communicate with the same protocol:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Charging_System

https://www.charin.global/technology/mcs/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megawatt_Charging_System

They're differentiated by vehicle class. CCS for passenger vehicles, MCS for heavy vehicles with big batteries.

There will also be wireless charging.

Many manufacturers have signed up to these standards, even Tesla. It's time to kill off the plugs with low adoption and open all chargers to all brands.
> I work probably 40-50hrs a week coding/architecting and 10-20hrs a week managing a farm [cows, hay, honey] (plus 2-3 weeks out of the year doing 12 hr day harvesting).

So this isn't a 6 days a week x 10 hours in a job working through a promotion path. I'm unsure why you brought that up as a point before, it doesn't align to what you further exposed here.

Another point:

> You can try to regulate day(s), but if there’s people willing to work more they’ll set the standard.

Society will set the standard, not the ones who work more, society as a whole sets that. I'm originally from a society where working grueling 10-12 hours/day in an office is expected, the society I live now sees that as a major issue.

> Being a member of a super-elitist cabal that knows how to use Rust "properly" is not some point of pride

I'm not sure I follow you, since I am saying something exactly opposite: anyone, even a mediocre, 1-year-of-experience programmer can successfully learn Rust, if only he or she tries to read a book on Rust, instead of just randomly hacking at Rust code. No "super-elitist" brain required, just a switch of learning methodology.

> just look at Haskell

The problem with Haskell is that it requires a monumental, conceptual switch from imperative programming to functional programming, which has not happened anywhere yet outside of academia (well, perhaps with the exception of functional reactive UI programming, e.g., React Native, Swift Combine, etc.), so Haskell is a tough sell in "real world", commercial organizations. Rust does not have this problem, since Rust does not rely on any "code [structure] metrics" (did I understand this right?), but instead moves as much bug detection as possible from runtime to compile-time (especially for multi-threaded applications).
It’s not that simple. We have to consider why in some countries men live 10 years less than the norm for the most of the developed world and how those underlying causes affect the economy.

Speaking for myself: ever-rising cost of living in western countries makes it scary to have kids. I’m only starting to contemplate becoming a home owner at 34, and it will take 2-3 more years until my wife and I can confidently go for it. By the time we have a solid ground under our feet, it will likely be too late (my wife is older).

"it's literally unix, man"

Yup, it's NOT Linux.

Been using MacOSX since Powerbook up to first gen Macbook - and I finally gave up: I installed Linux on it instead.

Pretty much all servers are running Linux even back then. Using Unix on work computer/laptop causes way too many encounters with various quirks and glitches. It continuously drags down your productivity too many times everyday.

After much stress, I installed Linux on my Macbook instead - but then I encountered various hardware-related glitches instead.

So I finally gave up, and bought a Thinkpad.
Well that sounds rather absurd. Why would everywhere - in every single country save for (maybe!) Israel - INCREASE of real incomes and improvement in both economic performance and economic stability, make having kids less affordable, rather than more affordable? Why isn't this the case with every other kind of spending - cars, housing, travel, education, even healthcare?
Sorry but where did it say that in the article ? I couldn't find it..
If the SM is seen as or becomes a layer between the team and management, they aren't doing their job correctly
I would like to interpret “feedback” in the parent comment as communication. And I think we should distinguish between frequent communication and micromanagement. One may report to their manager frequently. Doing so has the benefit of letting manager communicate back any context they might have regarding the current status. Perhaps, that problem has already been solved in some other situation. Or, the manager has experience in a similar domain and can give direction. Unless the manager dictates a direction, doesn't leave enough room for decision autonomy, or begins working on a solution rather than leaving it to the engineer, I wouldn't call it micromanagement.
The payload consists mostly of a lot of absurdly high-resolution images (that are very small on-screen).
That correlation turns around at the lowest income levels; you get paid per kid. Yes it's not really enough, generally, but if you feed them nothing but gruel and get public benefits for everything then it's actually more profitable to pop out more, especially if you can get 20% from each father if they're plugged in enough to the system that most of the fathers are paying most of the time.
You cannot. Not with any software you didn't write or very carefully review. It's always about trust.

In the case of your example, I think gorhill is a prime example of a trustworthy author. He has a very good track record, never betrayed the users, explains his thought process and behaved consistently in the users (my) interest in the past. uBlock Origin is the one extension I trust the most, even more than say the Multi Container extension from Mozilla.

Has the environmental impact of less efficient processing been studied? I've been thinking about this since seeing those stories a while back about bitcoin miners collectively having the same power consumption as some smaller countries.

If anyone knows a dataset suggesting what % of world energy usage is used by computing hardware (and what proportion of that hardware is idle vs fully utilised) I'd love to see it.

Also, less on topic, what's the environmental impact of writing your app in something programmer friendly but power inefficient? I strongly suspect some big tech companies will be suffering with this (namely anyone who is still on RoR at scale).
Processes are great tools in the hands of good managers / leaders. Good processes in the hands of bad ones, or bad company culture, does not make them good managers.

Outside of software, you see the same thing over and over again with Lean Management and TPS.
> Is there any reason people would start choosing to have more kids once they have the option not to?

Easy. In the past, kids are basically free labor for the family business, e.g. you own a farm, more kids == more productivity.

Today, most kids from inherits nearly nothing from parent's job. They have their own life and objectives, but to get good jobs, kids need good education, and good education costs money. So kids == burden.
See, so this is the case both between different nations, and within the same nation. More spending power = fewer kids.

The main reason for meddle management existence is a recursive loop.

I prefer search engines to do their job and provide quality links, not lengthy passages about the subject I'm searching for. For simple answers it's fine, but search engines pretending to know all about a subject, is cringey. Scraping the web and mashing together what it finds.

Each website has its own way to present things, and in what order. When hoovered up, taken elsewhere and squeezed out through AI's front end, it comes out a tangled mess.

Just now I needed a refresher on the HTML table scope attribute, so I used Phind to look up html table scope. It returned a wall of text about tables. Not inaccurate, but a wall of text. It was easier to click on the w3schools links where it's nicely laid out with clear examples of scope, with clear information about related attributes and use.
> we also need to be looking for economic systems that don’t simply rely on an ever-increasing population of worker bees

Apart from a robotic class of workers, forcing older people to produce, or forcing down living standards, this isn’t a problem different economic systems can solve. It’s fundamental to input/output.

Also, stable populations aren’t super problematic. 0.78 is way below replacement, however.
