I didn't stop wearing 3M FFP3 masks, which I buy from a UK online store. No covid, no flu, no RSV. Yes, I don't wear them like the dumbos who remove them at the airplane to eat or who believe covid somehow disappears outside even when you have somebody right in your face bombarding you with their spit and aerosols. Yes, tell me about it - it requires some solid discipline, but covid is no flu! We're just 3 years into it and he have piles of data or the accumulating damage for each incident - brain, endothelium, kidneys, myocardium - just for the quick to spot victims of covid so far! The mitochondrial damage could lead to tons more - it just takes time and lots of accumulation. Even being super strict, we still got it in our household when somebody broke the rules. Every time we wore masks like smart people, we were fine even though we were around sick people, in airplanes full of sick coughing and sneezing people. Masks do work. They require behavior modifications, but isn't health the most precious thing?

The worst thing is that we don't make a dent when everybody want to live their (shorter) lives without doing the necessary to prevent mutation. This is the most contagious virus known to science now and each new variant becomes better. Okay, it's mortality is less, but isn't it because we all got immune? Just pray this doesn't suddenly reinvent the mortality of SARS or MERS - they it will be the end of the human civilization as we proved we're stupid and self-entitled!
I appreciate the author's attempt to contextualize web components, but I have a few bones to pick, having seen web components used to a pathological extent in various projects

First, the idea that one of web components' strengths is bypassing serverside rendering is a bit misleading. SSR has been foundational to reducing time to first meaningful paint, ensuring accessibility, and improving seo. to argue that bypassing it is an advantage seems antithetical to best practices, even when using client-side tech like web components.

Second, the transition example from react to svelte highlights the use of web components as a bridge, but I fear it oversimplifies the reality of such transitions. Its true that web components might provide a superficial level of interoperability, underneath, the application architecture, state management, and data flow can differ vastly between frameworks. Simply plopping an old component with a new one doesn’t mean they’ll play nice without substantial architectural considerations.

Finally, the mention of "no bundler, no transpiler" as an advantage is curious. in practice, the modern web development ecosystem has moved towards using tools like bundlers and transpilers to optimize delivery, reduce overhead, and facilitate modular development. this isn't about complexity, but rather about efficiency and best practices.

Web components certainly have their place and, used judiciously, can certainly add value. It's just essential to approach them with a nuanced understanding and not as a silver bullet.

If there exist two pathways:

1. Regulated, standardized
2. Less regulated alternative

Which sort of companies are going to dominate in #2?

It's not going to be the ones that could have gone with #1, but decided not to for reasons. It's going to be a lot of companies that couldn't go with #1.

Which will drag down the median of #2, which will increase the cost of using it (because everyone will assume you're a scam by default), which will decrease its attractiveness and cause even more companies who can to pursue #1, GOTO 10.
Much needed perspective! (it's still not a great track record, but it feels more proportional)

>doing practical work ... even just 10~15 years ago with PhysX

practical work with PhysX 13 years ago: https://www.realworldtech.com/physx87/

"For Nvidia, decreasing the baseline CPU performance by using x87 instructions and a single thread makes GPUs look better."

Nvidia magically released PhysX compiled with multithreading enabled and without flags disabling SSE a week after this publication. But couple of days before release they made those funny statements:

"It's fair to say we've got more room to improve on the CPU. But it's not fair to say, in the words of that article, that we're intentionally hobbling the CPU," Skolones told Ars.

"nobody ever asked for it, and it wouldn't help real games anyway because the bottlenecks are elsewhere"

"Number one: Nvidia Gameworks typically damages the performance on Nvidia hardware as well, which is a bit tragic really. It certainly feels like it’s about reducing the performance, even on high-end graphics cards, so that people have to buy something new.

"That’s the consequence of it, whether it’s intended or not - and I guess I can’t read anyone’s minds so I can’t tell you what their intention is. But the consequence of it is it brings PCs to their knees when it’s unnecessary. And if you look at Crysis 2 in particular, you see that they’re tessellating water that’s not visible to millions of triangles every frame, and they’re tessellating blocks of concrete – essentially large rectangular objects – and generating millions of triangles per frame which are useless."

It might be, as before the leaks a lot of people had big trust in government and big tech in general, leaks showed otherwise, and how the government is willing and actively putting all efforts to spy and violate people’s privacy, either zero day exploits, pre-planted backdoors, laws and acts are shaped to serve that purpose like gag orders, patriot acts, etc., but eventually it depends on what conclusion you are trying to make anyway.
Hey Jarred, big fan of your work on Bun.

Until recently I've been using Deno (mostly to avoid using Node and the tooling hell that entails) and it looks like for my use-cases Bun is getting there. I've had a pleasant experience using Bun as the basis of a test harness.

Here's my question (with a tiny bit of lead-in):

What I like about Deno is the integrated LSP (reducing tooling hell), are there any plans for Bun to feature this too? Bun already internally transpiles TypeScript which is great but having the LSP bundled too would give this single binary integrated experience a boon I feel.

Looking forward to Bun 1.0!

P.S. I'm starting to stretch my Zig muscles, you looking for Zig developers? ;)
"citizen journalism" is what we used to call rumour, gossip, and hearsay. It still is.
> less keys = more cognitive overhead.

Right.

The benefits of reducing hand travel / stretching come at the cost of additional complexity. Not everyone will be comfortable with that complexity.

I find the complexity acceptable; and in many ways more coherent than traditional layouts. e.g. I'd keep slash and backslash (/\) adjacent (or otherwise paired); a question mark (?) is frequent enough even in prose; so, pipe (|) remains paired to backslash. -- But, yeah, it can be annoying for keys which are used very infrequently.
If blockchain did fulfill the claims of it revolutionizing the world of finance, it's still unlikely your kids would have become obsessed and regular users of it. If room temperature and pressure superconducting or nuclear fusion became viable, your kids might also be unlikely to play around with them on their own. Kids apparently love Roblox and most adults think the metaverse is dead. What kids like seems pretty orthogonal to what is legit or snake oil.

It is fiction yes, but if it is lifelike enough does the difference matter?

And the same would apply to doing this the old fashioned way in Photoshop, however you have to admit that taking it from "need special software and experience in using that software" to "just upload their image to a website and get back their AI generated nudes" is a huge change in how accessible this is.

I imagine you find yourself running into “left wing” stuff a lot right?
Why would someone use this over much more maintainable and performant backends in Go or Rust?
I have two concerns when people tell me they're using this stuff like a search engine:

1. How expensive are these to operate when compared to search engines? If search engines are about as good at information retrieval, but are much cheaper, what does that mean for the future of these services?

2. How good are these systems actually when compared to search engines? I get that for things like code, you can immediately verify results through testing, but GPT was trained on what looks good to humans thanks to HFRL, not necessarily for correctness.

I really wonder what's going to happen with this comparison in the near future. I think there's two possibilities:

1. Running inference on models and keeping the models relevant by introducing new data remains extremely expensive and companies like OpenAI operate at massive losses. Eventually this leads to their products getting worse.

2. Models get cheaper to run and efficient enough to run on mobile hardware without losing much fidelity. OpenAI still might be in trouble in this scenario if "open source" models like Llama2 get popular.

Yes, but that's only superficially similar to a Ponzi scheme. They're just not Ponzi schemes.
Yes it is quite expensive. The issue is memory bandwidth is a lot more constrained when youre routing to hundreds or thousands of cores instead of the handful you need to support on a CPU.

This is one of those things that was just totally obvious to professional market participants while it was happening. I was working as an investment analyst at a huge ($10b+ AUM) hedge fund at the time and couldn’t believe the insanity and greed that was being displayed daily by SPAC sponsors and “investors”.

Often the way this game worked was that if you were a large institutional investor who could be relied on to take a large allocation of the shares, you got special treatment and then could dump your shares on unsuspecting (and highly irrational) retail investors, at least while the insanity continued. It was fascinating to see how a bunch of professionals, who should have known better, each of whom were acting rationally (if not exactly ethically, although it was basically all totally legal), could nevertheless result in totally crazy malinvestment and capital destruction.

Of course, it was all possible only because of uninformed retail holding the bag of worthless companies like Virgin Galactic, or real companies that were valued at silly levels because they were SPACs. It was amazing too just how many times the big SPAC sponsors (like Chamath, but also Alec Gores, Michael Klein, etc.) "went back to the well" to do the same thing again and again. The most egregious of all of these that I'm aware of is David Hamamoto, who did the SPAC deal for Lordstown Motors, which was basically an outright fraud (I shorted this one to the bottom in size at the time).

Sadly, I doubt any of the people responsible for these huge losses by the public will ever be held accountable in any way, nor will the legions of professionals (lawyers, accountants, investment bankers, etc.) who enriched themselves while facilitating what they must have known were guaranteed duds for whomever would be left holding the bag (i.e., stupid retail investors losing their meager life savings.)

I completely disagree... The distinction is simply that they're usually ad-hoc and not formalized, mainly because the author didn't know what they were writing and was reinventing the wheel.
> I’m not “armchair diagnosing” anyone, I’m just dealing with people.

If you're not armchair diagnosing anybody, then we don't have any disagreement. If you're classifying people as NPD on the same day you met them, that's what I'm arguing against. Doing so isn't helpful and you don't have enough information about that person to even do it properly.

Even when you do have enough information about that person, like a long-term friend or family member, and yet also enough personal distance from the situation to limit your biases, it's rarely a useful thing to do. It might help you feel better about a failed relationship, which is what a lot of people seem to use NPD for, but these are not real diagnoses.

I haven't tried any of them, but they could be fantastic for prototyping, first throw-away versions, and projects that don't really matter.

For real r2.0+ production versions on projects/products that matter, I'd be suspicious that there are huge layers of libraries that get included, lots of code to run slow and provide bug habitat. But, it could also be that the developers have some optimization passes that strip out unnecessary code. It's something to check out carefully before committing. Of course, using one for a first throw-away version and examining it in detail can provide much info.
If by virtue signal you mean call out creeps and perverts then yes. The world would be a much better place if people did that more often instead of just leaving them be to hurt women and teenage girls. Maybe then they would at least not act on it in public.
> I, for one, tell the number, which if was given to me during negotiation would result in acceptance on my part.

That's not the same as saying you would refuse any offer for less. So you haven't answered the question I actually asked.

> I have not hypothesized the range

Yes, you did. In the scenario we're discussing, you said the manager's range is 200-250.

> this is the hypothesis, not the actual range

In other words, you're moving the goalposts. Sorry, not playing that game. Of course you can make up any numbers you like, but at the end of the day my argument is still the same: it's to your disadvantage to anchor the conversation on a number first. And you don't have to: as I've pointed out in another subthread in this discussion, if the company genuinely wants to hire you, at some point they have to commit to an offer. You don't; you can always go away and talk to someone else. (If you object that you might not be able to, my response is that you're already assuming you might get a better offer, which means you're assuming you can go away and talk to someone else. See further comments below.)

> It's trivial to raise it if you suddenly decided you can get more

I don't see how. You've told them you'd accept an offer from them for 210, but now you're reneging. The fact that you might get another offer for more than 210 is a reason not to tell them the 210 number at all. It's not a reason to go back and revise the 210 number afterwards if you get a better offer.

> This is why negotiating down from already satisfactory for both sides comp is a bad strategy for the HM.

You're assuming that the company will interpret your giving them the 210 number up front as a sign that your negotiating position is strong. I think they will assume the opposite: that your negotiating position is weak. Someone who already has good offers on the table, or expects to get them soon, doesn't have to commit to a number up front. They can just say "Give me an offer you think is competitive and I'll consider it in the light of my other options".
Tragedy of the commons is precisely what I have used to argue that prices will go up because the resources are being depleted. In this case, oil/gas is being over harvested by the individual. However, other energy sources are relatively infinite. Oil/gas happens to be cheap right now, but in the future it will not be. As the price rises, there becomes a greater incentive to seek other sources.
Yes, this is true.

However, a lot of this has to do with the fact that AMD was on the brink of bankruptcy before the launch of Zen in 2016 (when their share price was ~$10). They simply did not have the capital to the kind of things Nvidia was doing (since '08 ?).

The bet on OpenCL and the 'open-source' community failed. However, ROCM/HIP etc. really seems to be catching up (I even see them packaged on Arch linux).
This seems like a solution to a problem that nobody had.
I call green hydrogen expensive because that’s what it actually costs today. There’s a reason we only get 4% of hydrogen from electrolysis, it costs more than using fossil fuels.

Look at hydrogen fuel station pricing sometimes even using fossil fuels and compare costs vs bunker fuel. There’s projections it could possibly get close to US gas prices in 20 years, but that includes road taxes, high refining costs, transportation, etc and are therefore much higher than bunker fuel actually used by boats. So the optimistic projections are doubling a ship’s fuel costs and current prices are much higher than that.

As to your “nonsensical idea” complaint, companies actually saving companies money today using it. This isn’t some hypothetical, actual ships on the ocean are using large scale batteries to save on fuel costs. Further, the absolute largest car carrier in the world is smaller than the largest sailing vessel ever built, they load and unload from the front so sticking sails on top wouldn’t be a problem. Fossil fuels are cheap, but hydrogen isn’t viable today which is why ships aren’t using it and it’s not projected to be viable for decades. Anyone who tried using hydrogen would simply be eaten alive by the competition.

That's interesting. So is Flatpak actually secure against malicious code? That is, would you trust running malware if it's packaged as Flatpak?

We don't manually check if the Javascript or Wasm code is good or bad before we visit a web page. Few people disable scripts altogether. We could have this level of trust in applications running on our system - but does Flatpak deliver it?
