I would love to see Comcast forced to put a precise number on what upload speed they're giving me. They actively refuse to say. There's nowhere, anywhere in the Xfinity interface, that tells me what upload speed I'm supposed to be getting. I've pretty much figured it out based on forum posts and repeated testing.
I wonder what would happen to a world where AI runs the economy. Not everyone has some hobby or passion that brings meaning into their lives. Some people just work, come home, and spend their free hours consuming some form of entertainment. Without work, would those people just have more free hours? The elimination of human labor could be disastrous to mental health.
IMHO the solution is really more simple than people are making it out to be and it’s weird politics among CPAs causing all the distress. To people wiling to challenge their CPAs style of doing things: don’t classify your core expenses as “research and development”. I believe this follows the letter and spirit of the law. R&D is extra stuff you do on top of an already profitable business. When you’re building a product you’re implementing. It’s entirely a semantic problem that has happened because we call the job function “software development” and the tax code uses “research and development” (a different function) as the language. The CPA thing is caused by there being a central source of “doing things” that all the CPAs follow because they’re not qualified to be a tax lawyer and think for themselves. So everyone is stuck in whatever rut their guild’s status quo tax setup for #startups has caused.
I think you’re missing a variable here. Corporations == bad
If everyone’s forced to speak under the fear that anything they say can and will be used against them, a lot of communication won’t happen.

Nowhere is this more prominent than in traditional file systems where the folder hierarchy is often used as a kind of metadata tagging system. You take a picture while on vacation and copy it to your /pictures/2020/vacations/Hawaii/beach folder. But you could also copy it to your /2020/vacations/Hawaii/beach/pictures folder.

Your pictures, documents, music, and source code gets spread out using whatever hierarchy seems right to you on the day you copied or created it. Heaven forbid you decide to change the folder structure using anything but symbolic links so it breaks any stored references (i.e. full path) to the file(s).

How could they perform this analysis? Does every engineer at Google excel? Is their revenue a permanent hockey stick? If so, the process is working. If not, it's not.

But if they have any poor engineers, their process clearly doesn't work so conclusively. Because those engineers passed their process. And they have no control group, unless they've secretly been hiring a group of engineers without asking them these sort of questions (or ignored the results for a group). I just don't see how Google could determine the process works without studying what happens if they don't do it.

If I’m Sony, I know that anything AI related is a nascent field. Turning the Raspberry Pi 5? into a state of the art dev board for my solution, with higher end custom boards for people who need them or just want enterprise support, seems like a no brainer. A win-win.

Plus, that really, really helps with getting broad community support off the ground. Making my solution the community solution of choice is extremely valuable.
> I’m also skeptical any time someone mentions 5 nines uptime at a small scale. For one, it takes a lot of engineering to be able to actually monitor and detect that with precision (that is, how do you know you are 99.999 and not 99.995?)

We have that in place. We run phone systems that businesses depend on, and we have SLAs that guarantee this uptime in order to secure customers. We have network engineers dedicated to everything from guaranteeing it on the cloud side to checking Wireshark traces for any hint of abnormalities, every day. When I say 3 people, I mean those of us writing the front-end, back-end, database procs, and code that the open-source libraries require, including forking and custom patches. We have other team members ensuring our HA pairs, load balancing, redundancy, fail-overs, and all the other associated technology is working as expected.

I won't get into the details, but we have not violated our SLAs, ever.

And you'd be surprised at what open-source software we are using to drive parts of this system. Kudos to them, they are helping us maintain this with some rock-solid software.
Or.. a way to throw up a ton of noise around interesting targets.

Having hundreds of people showing up in various places, doing semi-suspicious things, generally getting in the way, etc is a good way to flood, annoy, and bury observers. Having the same people show up among each of the locations gives good cover for someone else to blend in.

Even YouTube had a problem for me.
In my opinion [0] a much more interesting track to pursue than super high-T scans that only work on mice (dead mice at that) is low field MRI scanning. MRI is amazing, but incredibly bulky and slow. In Canada you have to live for 6 months with a knee injury before surgery just because of the wait to access an MRI. Companies like Hyperfine (not affiliated) and Deepspin (just learned of them) make low power portable machines (I believe NFL teams were early costumers).

A single MRI image is not super helpful, still more art than science, the real benefit comes from having periodic scans against a baseline. Boutique health clinics offer yearly scans to high net-worth individuals, rolling this out to a larger population could have a huge impact.

[0] educated opinion, I also collaborated on a PNAS MRI paper
> but one of the things I was working on was serial drivers for the 6809 board (i think) Burrell Smith had hacked together for Jef Raskin (he also designed the later 68000 board, though I know Dan Kottke had something to do with it.) I had previously written modem drivers for the Apple II and Jef helped me get the required technical docs from Apple and Hayes. What I saw of the Mac prototype in 1980...

For what it's worth, this is a transparent attempt at an informal fallacy called argument from authority. Unfortunately, unless you were an Apple employee at the time and a member of the Macintosh Project team, and no offense intended, but you have no idea what you saw. At the very best it was a prototype, and not the prototype. Again, no offense intended, but YOU don't matter, only what you say matters in so far as you can prove the veracity of the content of your assertions. "I saw it with my own eyes," or "I know what I'm talking about, I am an expert," simply doesn't carry the same weight as, "here is a dated document proving this, and here is another."

> Before 1981, the Mac wasn't going to be a mouse driven, WIMP system. Heck, before 1979, when Jobs and Atkisson visited PARC, I'm not sure the Lisa was going to be a WIMP system.

The mouse was invented in 1968 by Douglas Engelbart. The Xerox Alto demoed to Apple with Steve Jobs used a mouse. In a later interview about the Xerox Alto demo, of which a clip is in the OP, Steve Jobs states that he knew it was going be the future of computing. There are documents dating from at least as early as Spring of 1980 that concern the development of the Apple Mouse[1] proving that you are mistaken. By December 1979 at the very latest, the Lisa and the Macintosh were always going to be mouse driven.

> Saying the Macintosh was a continuation of the Lisa Project is ridiculous.

Who said that? Oh, I see, you're now advancing a straw man. Consider that the origin of Macintosh could arguably be the Lisa. Consider that the origin of Macintosh could be the Xerox Alto. Consider that the origin of Macintosh could be the Mother of All Demos. Consider that it could also be Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. Consider that it could also be the Jacquard Loom, and for that matter it could be the abacus. "Origin" does not mean "when Steve Jobs joined the team." It means "source."

They require sacrifices to be made by those who preserved land. I realize that we cannot have absolute ownership. What I see in practice is that farms and open spaces are run over roughshod. Road planners try to avoid tearing through businesses and neighborhoods while gleefully destroying a century old farm. It isnt a shared infrastructure or sacrifice and you know it.

A fair system would be blind to what is on the ground and build the lines or roads without regard to who owns it or what is in the way. Otherwise the poor and rural will always be looked at as cheap useless fools to be taken advantage of.
When you're on-call, you need to be prepared for a page. That means you can't get drunk with your friends, or get on a plane, etc. Being on-call means being ready to answer a page, whether it comes or not.

> A page every few months will be considered world-class achievement in a FAANG-like company.

Except maybe it's a different beast entirely. At amazon, they're constantly pushing new features at most teams. A stable phone company may just be handling pages for when hardware fails. Presumably there's bugs in fast-moving new code more frequently than hardware failure of a tiny org.

Also, fwiw I've been at amazon and had on-call rotations where we didn't get paged monthly. Your manager/team isn't allowing you to allocate resources to fixing your alarms or bugs if you're getting paged that often and not a crazy critical service.

How you raise money doesn't make a difference. What matters is how fast you can utilize your "engineering assets". More often than not startups don't sell anything (let's say "anything" is > 20% of developers' cost) in the first year, or even in the first 3 years. So for them it's not a problem, you simply carry forward losses until you start getting revenue, and at that point you have enough losses to offset those 80%. It doesn't work for companies which are lucky enough to make substantial (comparable to the salary) sales in the first year. It's like Ford built a new factory, made 600,000 F-150 and sold them and the factory is basically gone in one year, there is nothing left. Doesn't happen with real factories though and usually doesn't happen with startups, but there might be exceptions.

Zerodium buying mobile exploits for $2-2.5M does not mean that a buyer can go out shopping for an exploit and find one in that price range. Exploits are a highly illiquid market and there is going to be a big bid-ask spread. Plus a lot of middlemen are restricted in various ways in terms of who they sell to. Then there the issue of building an actual capability around the base exploit... There's a reason why we don't have thousands of NSO-like small businesses running around.
If you nuclear plant is only competitive 1 week a year (as the total cost of solar + wind can outcompete its O&M costs the other 51 weeks), then it needs to amortise the capital over about 30 weeks of operation once you take a small discount rate into account (even assuming an indefinite lifetime).

Then your $5000-$10,000/MWh energy is competing against any other 8 day storage option which costs less. Which is all of them.

On top of that, even using brown coal for that week is only adding 20g of CO2e/kWh to your energy on average. Better to do the 98% renewable grid first and then decide whether you're building the nuclear plant or storage

Delaying the transition by a couple of years while you build the plant is equivalent to running the 98% solution for half a century while you figure out something for the last 2% (which could still be a nuclear plant).
specifics work too if they're targeted. For instance, asking "what's the color of the boy's shirt ?", "what of his shorts ?" all return accurate results even if those details are missed in a general, "describe this image" request.

It induces vomit on anyone who is on any combination of a) a slow network b) TOR or c) noscript. They also fundamentally act as middlemen, the gate between users and what's supposed to be an open web. They even promote having servers run plain http and they'll do the HTTPS proxying for you; you know, so that they can sniff the traffic between you and your users.

That seems to be the rub. It doesn't differentiate between different reasons and business models for writing software: Software as wealth, and software as pure expense.

It's also pretty harsh on a business that's just plain unprofitable. The laws should be arranged so that if you start a business and it's a flop, but you have no debts, you can walk away pretty much unscathed.

> What were you doing then?

It is a despicable and fallacious method of discourse that once you have figured out that an argument is bulletproof, you then entirely ignore it and its supporting evidence and instead make personal attacks. I am a unmoved by your attempts at bullying because it means you are a coward and riddled with anxiety. If you can't speak to the argument, then you're not contributing anything of value. As Wittgenstein famously wrote, "whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
Ok, I don't understand this. It basically says that you can't completely deduct any software engineering salaries? This would affect all companies writing software, Google and Meta, for example. If this would affect Google's bottom line so much, wouldn't they change the tax code by now? If not, how are they avoiding these new taxes?
Good for whom?

Presumably not for those employees, who will undoubtedly be taking big pay cuts and/or competing more for roles.

Good for the non-SV companies? That’s more likely.
The birthday paradox only applies when you're trying to find any pair of inputs with the same output, because then the probability of success scales with the number of pairs ≈ guesses^2. If you're trying to find an input with a particular output (in this case one that results in the same key as their password), then on average you'll have to try half the search space (divided by the number of correct answers in the search space, but that should be one in this case)

I'd assume the random guesses for bitcoin miners is because with a deterministic chunk of the search space you risk the possibility that someone else chose the same chunk and so already tried all the values you're trying

In the late 1990s a friend of mine gave me a birthday gift: two tickets to Spy Drive. Now THAT was something that could only happen in DC.

Oleg Kalugin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kalugin) was a former head of the KGB at the Russian Embassy in DC in the 1980s. When Oleg returned to Russia, his criticism of the KGB led him to be stripped of his rank and eventually exiled to the USA to avoid serious recriminations in Russia. He was eventually tried in abstentia. It was in DC where he teamed up for a while with David Major, a retired spymaster for the FBI and former adversary, and together they did what could only be done in Washington DC: they ran a paid bus tour.

You heard that right. For $80, we'd get on the bus, and then these two former spymasters on opposite sides of the cold war would get up in the front of the bus with microphones and take us to various dead drops, mark locations, famous spy meeting locations, and so on, and tell stories the whole way, and joke about how one was gonna arrest the other. It was insane. It was glorious.

Both of them later were recruited to be on the advisory board of the Spy Museum, and it is my understanding that Oleg was very effective at acquiring a lot of stuff for the museum from the former KGB.

Edit: in case people don't believe me...

Is it? "In the case of a taxpayer’s specified research or experimental expenditures for any taxable year—" is pretty clear. That means what someone wants to claim as research and experimental expenditures. "For the purposes of this section" also seems pretty clear. If you want to claim software development as R&E, it unambiguously qualifies. And now all R&E must be amortized.

I am not a tax expert, but it doesn't seem like there's any reason you have to claim software development as R&E.
