>And now tell me again that the Reddit Blackout had now effect.

So, no, the blackout did not cause this drop in valuation. I'd urge you to read the article before shooting from the hip. From the article:

>Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund valued its holdings in Reddit at $15.4 million as of May 31, according to the fund’s monthly disclosure released Friday. That’s down 7.36% from $16.6 million mark at April’s closure and altogether a slide of 45.4% since its investment in August 2021.

Followed by:

>(Worth noting that the vast majority of markdown in the value of Reddit and Discord holdings by Fidelity predominantly occurred last year.)

So, May 31st is when they dropped the value of Reddit. That's prior to the blackout chaos, which occurred in June. Apollo didn't receive notice of the cost changes until the 31st, and didn't announce it was shutting down until the 8th. The blackout occurred after those dates.

When I moved to Seattle back in 2011 and was looking for a place to rent, I noticed that almost all the photos across multiple listings looked like they were paintings or architectural renderings or something. I could not figure out what was off about them.

A friend pointed out that the lighting was off because every single one was photoshopped with one of a few pictures of a sunny blue sky with just a few clouds in the background, despite likely having been taken on a grey, fully cloudy day.

I was at an airshow years ago. The whole thing was interrupted at one point because a commercial airliner in the vicinity had to make an emergency landing at the airport that the airshow was being held at due to an engine problem.

The plane landed with power to only one engine (according to the announcers), but you would have never even known there was anything wrong. It just looked like any other landing.

> At first, the CEO carefully monitors the work, but as months go by without error, the AI receives less oversight and more autonomy in the name of efficiency. It occurs to the CEO that since the AI is so good at these tasks, it should take on a wider range of more open-ended goals: “Design the next model in a product line,” “plan a new marketing campaign,” or “exploit security flaws in a competitor’s computer systems.”

I'm not sure why we assume that a more intelligent system would prevent that much more problems.

Intelligent AI orders image processing ASICS from Image Processing Inc, Image Processing Inc doesn't send order on time. Of course Intelligent AI is intelligent so it calculated error margins in delivery time. Image Processing Inc goes bankrupt, order cannot be delivered, product launch fails, Intelligent's AI boss is mad at Intelligent AI.

Doing business means dealing with systems you have no control over, more intelligence may mean better predictions and broader understanding of the systems you are dealing with (IE, not ordering chips from an area where you as an AI predict an earthquake to happen based on seismographic data you have access to that no reasonable business person would research), but it won't mean these AI's will be some kind of infallible God, they'll just be a bit better.

My personal belief is that even if you "increase" intelligence by an order of magnitude, your ability to predict the behavior of external systems doesn't increase proportionally. You'll still have to deal with unpredictability and chaos; weather, death, scams, war, politics, manufacturing, emotions, logistics.

OTOH, I do believe running a business will become more efficient.

California was deep red when Silicon Valley was being built. And most “red states” voted Democrat until the 1990s (with the exception of Reagan). The richest ones, like Virginia, started voted Republican before the others. And richer areas, like the Atlanta suburbs in Georgia, started voting republican before the rest of the state.

More like that lots of these insiders, shareholders, etc are preparing to sell their stock once it hits magic numbers such as "$3TN market cap" or "$200 a share" as it is constantly being reported on the news again.

The market is testing your psychology to jump in at those extreme prices with the retail folks just falling for it and losing money again.

> Even when I bought Google after the Bard PR flop, I still only made a 10% return in 2 months, and I probably had heart palpitations doing it.

Great move and not bad and one of the good opportunities to jump in after ignoring the mania. [0].

But then there was Meta that did 200% in 6 months when it was $88. Now the stock has recovered as others have noted. I and some others in [1] also ignored Meta's stock panic, bought in as low as $89 when nearly everyone was screaming about Meta going down to $0 and now people want to buy Meta stock at $290 today.

Oh dear.

I have this weird architecture I'm emulating that I call a bit-grid.[1] The basic idea is an FPGA with NO routing fabric at all... just a 2d grid of look up tables that take a single bit input from each neighbor, and output a single bit to each, which means each look up table holds 64 bits (4*16 possible input states) of "program". Clocking is in two phases (like the colors of a chess board) to prevent all manner of grief, and make it easier to think about. Each phase is NOT Turning Complete, but the grid is.

So, I can emulate this thing on my desktop PC at about 28 nSec/cell using some Pascal code[2]. I'm thinking that if I upgrade to a machine with AVX512 instructions, it might get radically faster. What I can't figure out is how this instruction actually works, and what gains I would actually get.

The Intel documentation on this instruction is as clear as mud. There's no example with all the bits shown and worked through, leading the reader to have no ledge on which to make some intellectual purchase towards understanding.

Questions:

If I were to fork over the cash for a machine with AVX512 instructions, how many of these instructions can actually execute/second?

Wouldn't moving a bunch of values to/from memory basically empty out all the caches and make this thing really slow anyway?

Does anyone have a worked out example with bits shown for all the sources and destinations before/after the instruction, so I can see what it does?

I think I stopped believing that there was any changing this around age 30 or so. You can only see so much of it before it just becomes the default assumption.

Responses like this are a great indicator of never having had troubles socializing. Some hints of what might go wrong for people more pathetic than you could ever imagine existing:

* Not having the chance to go to a party. (i.e. never being invited, or being in government-mandated house arrest for years to accomodate for other people who might die of a certain disease. Or both.)

* Having the chance to go to a party, but still refusing because of the dread going to a party induces. (Possibly related to trauma caused by previously going to a party, see below. (Or any trauma caused by other humans, really.))

* Actually going to a party, but not having the communication skills to naturally start a conversation with some random person.

* Starting a conversation nevertheless, only to come to the same conclusion (also traumatizing yourself in the process after you get ignored).

* As an extension: trying to join a conversation, but being ignored by all participants for being uninteresting, annoying, weird, or simply ugly. (Or all of the former.)

* Sitting/standing alone for most of the party because of the aforementioned problems, then after a few occasions deciding that surely this wasn't worth the time and never going to a party again.

Alcohol may or may not help with these problems. (It doesn't for me, so in the end I just gave up.)

I wonder why won’t they fix the performance by changing the API specification of these collections?

I don’t think they care about backward compatibility. For example, in C++/20 they decided UTF-8 string literals (available for nearly a decade since C++/11) now returns them in a brand new `char8_t` type, which won’t automatically cast to the old `char` type. I once had to waste couple days of work fixing the issues caused by C++ language upgrade.

Equity is about justice. It’s an ethical issue. If you cannot understand justice, you cannot understand equity. Very simply, when a majority group uses its power and position to enforce its cultural norms and policies on the rest of society, they benefit or at least are not harmed, and further their own group. And this becomes so embedded in the society that the injustice becomes “invisible” it is just accepted as fair. Something as simple as where a highway is built heavily skews to minority neighborhoods being negatively affected.

Understand this. Then you will understand equity is fundamentally about justice and if we don’t seek to establish justice then we have failed.
I think this is the first time they’ve had down time that I’ve noticed in almost ten years. I’m sure it happens more… It’s never an issue for me, though. It’s really nice.

The real issue with subscriptions is that it makes it hard/impossible to demonstrate revenue growth from a static userbase.

It's fine for steady state / going concern financing.

But no public or pre-IPO company wants to look like that.

Advertising and engineered products allow you to create new revenue streams from your existing userbase, and because your customer isn't your users (B2B) price increases can be invisible.

Hard disagree. For people taking 6% of purchase price in fees, real estate agents need to be vastly better than they are. They were insufferable in Austin over the past few years, the silver lining of a serious housing crash would be watching them try to join the ranks of the productive.

The really annoying thing is that when you bring up the generational decline of testosterone in men no one really cares. Then RFK Jr brings it up - quite validly - and now you have the entire Democrat-pharma industrial complex lumping it under "far-right conspiracy theory, probably funded by Russia and MAGA white supremacists who hate women and Muslims".

The irony is that it's a problem that is clearly already having consequences already. It's quite likely it's behind some of the current issues both at the fringes (rapid onset gender dysphoria) and broadly in politics (see the correlation between male testosterone levels and voting patterns). It potentially wipes out humanity way before anything with climate change, but since it affects men, the West just doesn't care.
It’s not just about the containers if you look at the big picture. Micro plastic is everywhere nowadays and if you set yourself to avoid it you’ll have a hard time. Even opening a plastic bottle releases micro plastic in the environment and now all supermarket food comes in plastic. Also the accumulated plastic seems to be reaching us already from the food chain, with marine food being full of micro plastic which goes to our bodies.

But maybe it’s worth avoiding it at all cost? That’s the big question.
I wonder if population stabilisation will mean there will simply be a lot less demand for new homes. People will mostly live in what they inherit, just like they do in Europe where the same thing happened a generation earlier. With U.S. population set to grow by only 20% by the end of century (same growth as it had from 2000 till now), how many new homes will at all be needed? So i agree that they don't plan to buy real estate. They will not need to. There are as many children 0-5 years old in America today as 50-55 people. By the time the former will need to buy their first home the latter will be dying to leave it to them.

> You better stop bleating about Russia and start informing yourself. Start by reading the Wikileaks materials, before its too late.

America has committed heinous crimes overseas but Russia is by far worse. It's very likely America has killed more civilians because they have been involved in more wars for longer.

But there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Russias wars are far more brutal and I don't think you are taking that into account.

Russian wars don't just involve civilian casualties they involve intentional large scale war crimes and atrocities like destroying dams, forcibly transferring children back to Russia from occupied areas and torturing and raping civilians as young as four.

Russia pretty much revels in committing genocide in Ukraine.

These types of actions are a cut above what the US has been accused of doing.

There have been rule changes to equipment at different levels to help counteract some of the issues with two handed bowlers, and modern bowling balls.

(Note: I bowl in leagues in the UK, so definitely not at a competitive level).

Back in August 2020 balance holes were banned by the USBC (and therefore applied internationally), which would have a greater impact on two handed bowlers - as they don't insert a thumb in the ball, it gave them the potential for two balance holes instead of one. Currently every hole drilled into the ball must be used during the release of the ball.

More recently certain competitions (PBA mostly) are restricting the use of urethane balls to ban any balls which don't meet a minimum level of hardness. This hasn't been applied at a wider level yet, although it may have an impact over time.

https://www.pba.com/2023/june/2023-pba-hardness-report

So things are changing, but it's mostly reactionary rule changes as new problems are being discovered.

>> Are you seriously suggesting Russia is responsible for more death and destruction around the world than the US?

Yes, without any question. WWII alone is responsible for tens of millions of deaths. USSR enabled Germany by dividing Europe with them in Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which was followed by joint invasion of Poland weeks later, war against Finland, occupation of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, massacres like Katyn on the newly occupied territories, and eventually the war between themselves. USSR supplied hundreds of thousands of tons of all kinds of raw materials (oil, iron, grains, etc) between 1940 and 1941 to support German war effort in the West. 2/3 of all imported goods to Germany in 1940 and 1941 came from the USSR. Oil train after oil train went to Germany while Luftwaffe was bombing London.

Not to mention what went on 1941-1945... There's a book by Russian war reporter who recorded atrocities committed in Prussia. One scene had small groups of Russian soldiers and officers across a field as far as the eye can see, all with their pants down, waiting for their turn to rape German women who they had found in a refugee convoy. Houses in "liberated" towns were full of naked women dead in blood-soaked beds, sexual organs destroyed from non-stop raping. In total, several million women were raped in state-sanctioned violence against German civilians in the closing months of WWII. They raped even "liberated" concentration camp prisoners.

But if that's too old for you and you want more modern examples, read a few books on the Soviet-Afghan war in 1980s or the Chechen wars in 1990s, preferrably translations of works by independent Russian authors like Anna Politkovskaya and Svetlana Alexievich. You will find similar unmatched brutality.

Believing that the actions of US government come even close are... naive.
Yeah, I'm basically email/documents/web as well (when not at home) and I've occasionally given the iPad Pro with pencil and external keyboard a shot for working on a short trip. I admit I probably haven't given myself enough time with the various multitasking features to use them reflexively but I've just never been able to really make it work for me. I can in a pinch on a short trip where I'm mostly just doing some browsing and maybe taking some notes but I'm more inclined to just bring a laptop and ditch the iPad entirely. In fact, I don't really use my iPad at home much and I'm not sure I'll replace my current one which is out of or going out of support.
