> Software and hardware from competitors will catch up, crunching 4/8/16 bit width numbers is no rocket science.

I made the mistake of buying an A770 from Intel, based on the spec sheet. Hardware is comparable to what Nvidia is selling, for 70% of the price.

It's basically a useless paperweight. The AI software crashes constantly, and when it's not crashing, it performs at half the level of Nvidia's cards.

Turns out that drivers and software compatibility are a big deal, and Intel is way way behind in that arena.
The providers are what implements the actual interaction/features with the cloud providers, and those licenses have not changed - it's just terraform core at this point.

So really you have until HashiCorp changes the interface between TF core and the providers, which would mean something like a Terraform v2.0.
It is textbook in that we have a pretty famous precedent with the Hollywood studios and the Paramount Case. None of the studios were a monopoly. Each of the studios were only dictating the terms of their own movies and how they could be purchased. It's a landmark vertical integration ruling. And that's what Apple are doing with their app store.

There are some very interesting, and arguably more challenging missions coming up including a Venus orbiter, manned space flight and a Martian lander. This should really help solidify the manufacturing space around this.
Responding specifically to the point on glamour hiking/camping:

REI definitely puts a huge focus on growing the outdoors activities market by being attractive to newcomers. And a large part of that is offering fashionable clothes and convenience options, and marketing hiking as a social-media-friendly lifestyle.

On balance, I think this is a good thing for the future of outdoors sports. The downside is an increase in unprepared hikers (dangerous) and overuse of easily accessible trails (unpleasant). But there’s a lot of pluses:

1. I can more easily convince my friends and coworkers from the city to go hiking with me.

2. I’m confident that the parks and trails that are popular and widely used will continue to exist for future generations.

3. This is a subtle point, but I think it’s very important: if you are someone whose parents never took you hiking/camping, and you don’t know how at all, then the combination of a) hiking being fashionable/cool and b) easy to learn about and buy gear for is critical to convince you to try it. Historically, camping in the US has mostly been a white activity. I am white, and to be clear there’s nothing wrong with that, but I like that many of my non-white friends whose parents never took them camping as kids are now interested in hiking and camping.

(I personally think the camping meals and $100 pants are silly, but that’s consumer capitalism for ya. It is what it is)
Raytracing isn't a thing no matter how much nvidia wants to push it. The performance penalty is too big for what amounts to something that takes a trained eye to notice. AI-resolution scaling is nice to have on lower end devices but the max resolution people actually use is 4k and I can only think of VR where having more than 4k would be nice to have.

My main gripe is that at 4k resolution, top of the line GPUs shouldn't be using AI frame scaling to get decent fps unless you are taking the raytracing penalty for funsies.
Compare price performance and it isn't so bad, assuming you add in an adjustment for AMD's lack of features.

> I think most folks are naturally trusting, and assume it must be a problem with THEM, so they work to please the (for lack of a better term) narcissist.

This is true, but I've seen it said that basically when people encounter an extreme narcissist (or sociopath) the problem is that when we try to understand their behaviours, we project our own relative normality onto them to model what we would do in their shoes, because it's difficult for us to even perceive, let alone comprehend, what it must be like to lack what they lack.

So our generous interpretation of their actions is based on our own more stable self-image. We assume that there must be a typical human reason for them to behave that way, because that's the only way we can model the feelings that might lead to their behaviour.

Now if you turn it around, it is not difficult to understand why e.g. Trump lashes out at everyone. He only knows what it is like to be him, and he projects that and worse onto the world.
You imply simple = better, complex = worse, but this isn't such a simple relationship.

If you keep removing redundant constructs from languages, you will end up with something pure and minimal like the lambda calculus or turing machine. But these aren't easy to program in!

Languages are an interface for humans. If the code density is too low or too high, it becomes difficult to for people reason about the programs. Concepts like readability and expressiveness are important, but end up requiring some level of complexity.

Ooh, I found a copy of the book, The Last Ringbearer.

https://ia800209.us.archive.org/7/items/TheLastRingbearerSec...

I've also been surprised by how effective propaganda is in shaping the public's view of the world, spreading hate and causing strife, brothers fighting brothers.

And how "information technology" has become the perfect tool for this purpose. Maybe it was inevitable, but it's still disappointing to see governments and corporations misuse and abuse this technology, a kind of magic, because it could have been (and can still be) for a greater good, to foster communication, understanding, and cooperation, to promote peace, to improve all of our lives.

Anyway, I'll see how the book goes. If anything, it sounds like a good thought exercise to try to see from the other side.

Maybe everything changes at $1 trillion, but I definitely see smaller (but public) companies leaving money on the table because it would require cultural change.
A call credit spread simply means buying an even more out-of-the-money call along with the one you sold. It would have reduced the premium collected, but the long call would appreciate on sudden moves like today's.

The fact that it is a serious crime in many jurisdictions and, even where it isn’t, photorealistic child porn images that get noticed anywhere or going to result in uncomfortable conversations for everyone involved in the process of establishing that they aren’t evidence of a crime.

Interviewing on the actual offer/price is not the same as interviewing about getting a chance to schedule a conversation about ability to qualify for being considered for an interview with a person who could evaluate your worthiness to fill in a position within known but flexible compensation band which may not be directly offered after all...

Of course, not always it is that convoluted, but the "beef" is often that much detached from the process.
> If you want $200,000, $400,000, whatever, just say so. BEFORE you start any interviews.

Unless the number you give is significantly higher than any of your potential employers are ever going to offer you, you are shortchanging yourself by giving that number--it means that you have now foreclosed potential higher offers that otherwise might have come your way. That is the basis of the advice given in the article.

I get what you're saying about knowing what you're worth, but that in itself doesn't give you very much help in knowing what potential offers might come your way. Unless you have detailed inside information about all of your potential employers (hint: if you do, you should already be leveraging that information to get a job offer without having to go through all the drudgery of interviewing like everyone else), you can't possibly know how the number you give compares to what they could potentially offer you. So you shouldn't give a number at all.

In fact, the more you know what you are worth, the less inclined you should be to give a number instead of just waiting for an actual offer. What knowing what you are worth should do is help you to decide, on your own (i.e, without asking recruiters who have conflicts of interest), which potential employers are worth your time to even look at in the first place. Don't even bother talking to companies that you know can't compensate you enough. But you don't need to, and shouldn't, tell recruiters what your threshold is for "enough". Just tell them company X doesn't look like it would be a good fit. Nuff sed.

> If recruiters are talking to you, they want to place you at the highest comp package they can.

They want to place you at the highest comp package they can as long as it doesn't risk not placing you at all. They never want to walk away altogether. But you might. So your interests and theirs are not quite aligned.
There is another side to this advice.

If you don't know what market is, you can do one of three things:

1. Check out levels.fyi (overindexed on FAANG; not reliable),

2. Ask for a number that "sounds" high to you, and let the recruiter negotiate down (risky; recruiters might laugh you out the room if you go too high), or

3. Ask a recruiter, and then add a premium on top of whatever they tell you!

Recruiters will be an excellent source of what a realistic market is for your skills in your area. However, as this article articulates, many people don't negotiate, so it's fair to assume that the market rate they give you is low.

The local bookstore is free to sell below wholesale cost, as well. Has often been done...

I did read the link. It did not, specifically, call out price dumping. What it called out was that publishers wanted people to value books at more than $9.99. Something that the Best Seller list of Amazon's was undermining. As someone that remembers this as it was happening, I also remember that other ebooks that Amazon was selling were at the suggested price.

Again, you are misrepresenting things. Wholesale price is the price the store paid to get the item. When they are not in the "agency" agreement, they are free to sell the item for whatever they value it at. Higher or lower. After all, the cost they paid is a sunk cost at that point and it may be worth it to move the item at a loss than to continue to store it. You are correct that price dumping resembles that idea, but it is a technically different thing. (I'll note that referring to ebooks as some sort of fixed inventory is silly for many other reasons...)

I don't know how to make it clearer, sadly, and feel you are purposely ignoring all points. An argument about Apple being guilty of antitrust violations despite not having a monopoly is solely an argument about monopoly not being a required factor of antitrust claims.

You have tried to argue that Amazon was actually the monopolist. There are some factual problems with that claim, but it is completely a non-sequitur on whether or not Apple needs to be a monopoly to run afoul of antitrust law. Same with whatever point you are trying to bring in about Epic. It is literally not relevant to the point that Apple may again be running afoul of antitrust rules.

I think you have confused ignoring the government orders with "doing the opposite of what the government says"

For example at different times I have went to my basement during while the tornado sirens where going off, and other times I have stood outside looking at the clouds...

less keys = more cognitive overhead. Having to remember what layer i put fucking pipe on is not better than just hitting the damn key.

In ~2000 I started suffering from tendonitis and my coding job became very painful, I tried kind of the 'easy onramp' ergo options at the time, namely the ms 'natural'. It did not help. Eventually someone pointed me at the kinesis advantage (then essential) and I bought one. After some struggle coming to terms with thumb keys and wells and ortholinerness I switched to it for all tasks except for gaming and my symptoms basically disapeared.

About 10 years back I was in a job that was potentially going to cause me to travel a lot, at that point I had already modded my kinesis advange keyboards with custom controllers and wanted to try and build something that travelled better, was smaller, while still not fucking up my wrists.

I built a lot of keyboards trying to shrink my luggage. I went ortho and built a split preonic, uncomfortable, then I went down the road that leads to corne/iris/etc (thumb keys, vertically aligned but not horizontally aligned). More comfortable but the thing i always ran into when removing keys. Overhead, you have to remember what layer and key you put xyz rarely used symbol on (and when you are a software engineer that's a lot of the symbols).. at the end of the road I built a very low profile board based on the dactyl with the same number of keys as the kinesis advantage minus the f-key chicklets. Reducing the number of layers i have to remember to 1 that only contains the grave and the fkeys.

Then covid hit and I didn't have to travel anywhere. I take my dactyl when I go see my parents, and unloaded most of my other boards for cheap. (i kept a 65 that I play games with)

It's certainly an improvement over ARM, but I was a little disappointed with Bicep when I recently used it for the first time - it's great for simple cases, but expressing logic makes things more verbose and 'icky' than I'd like. Then again, it's not a problem I've spent any time in, so maybe this is as good as it gets; I'll still be using Bicep over ARM regardless.

If you already need a deep foundation and basements are common enough in the area so people know how to do them well, maybe. For other areas, it's a significant expense, a lot of work, might require design changes, and it'll probably leak.

The risks are no better than most of the AI bros buying Nvidia and overpriced stocks at the very top or all time highs or extremely risky 0DTE strategy trades on earnings announcements.

Do AI bros who jumped in late really have to be married to their stocks that are already overpriced to make 8% on earnings when the very early folks start selling to take their profits?

Starting from nucs is hard work. I also wouldn't bother testing for mites because killing a few hundred bees from a very weak colony is not really a good idea.

Yeah, maybe. I’ve seen big clive play with a joule thief. He certainly thought it was sort of nifty. Might not be a bad idea for certain electronics. My experience with nimh, is that while they have a lower starting voltage, their discharge curve is much better. I found some devices would last longer on a single charge than with some of the alkaline batteries I was using.

I recently bought some roughly AA size lifepo4 batteries. They’re nice in that if you have an even number of batteries you can use one and a dummy battery to replace 2 alkaline to get 2v7-3v6. Not sure how I feel about increasing amounts of lithium batteries though lying around my house. I probably wouldn’t put them in a random remote since the cost of a short is super high.
