> it's a sign of maturity

Exactly. It seems like a lot of people don't realize this. We will never get that insane rate of innovation in smartphones again. These small incremental updates are what we are getting for the rest of our lives. What innovation we brought in a year, will now take 10 years because smartphones have matured and unless there is a major paradigm shift, this is more or less the final version of smartphones.

The entire computer and internet industry has been maturing too. We are getting to the point where the only significant increases in processing power are coming from spending more on the silicon. Internet companies have secured their markets and it hasn't changed much in the past 5-10 years.

If you want further crazy levels of innovation, it's time to look elsewhere. Computers have had their time. Now it's time for the next big thing. Maybe that's AI, quantum computers, gene editing, or nuclear fusion. Hell I doubt it, but after some years maybe cryptocurrency will have a breakthrough and we'll go rushing back to it. This is a story as old as the wheel.

there's a massive number of good takeaways in this article (and comment thread) on building an agile organization with evidence-driven leadership and rock-solid and reliable product execution. "in no way similar to ours" is an embarrassing take for any member of a product-driven organization to take here.

there are very very few industry-defining CEOs who are at the helm of the companies they founded 30 years ago and leading an industry that they essentially designed and built themselves, riding a money-train on an entire class of product and a product-use case they defined from the ground up. the fact that huang has done this multiple times means he's worth listening to. he's managed to run a (now) trillion-dollar corporation like an agile startup and maintained an extreme level of technical excellence and long-term realized customer value (every CUDA testimonial ever, etc), and that's cause he can run his OODA loop faster than anyone else and actually get good products out the end.

no, you don't have to wear the turtleneck or leather jacket and yell at underlings. yes, absolutely you should think about evidence-driven leadership, being agile and willing to pivot and throw away your product and move to something else if it's not going to work, eschewing formalized "busywork" 1:1s in preference for having the CEO actually "stochastically sampling" the IC work output, and making sure the voices from the boots on the ground are being heard.

there is almost no tech company for which those are not great principles that you should probably strive to incorporate. and "wow we have nothing in common with that" probably speaks more about your corporate culture than you think.
Or just throw that shit away and get decent peripherals.
I think punishing families would probably work very well for deterrence, but that comes with impairment of individualism, since families will be incentivized to be monitoring the behavior of their relatives. Overall I would say it doesn't pass the cost-benefit analysis, mainly because there are other methods of deterrence available.

Climbing an iced over driveway on a hill in Utah on vacation while $90k big ass trucks were abandoned at the foot of the hill was awesome.

> It produced a positive outcome which wasn’t placebo.

I just want to point out for understanding, that placebo effects are real effects; and even more surprisingly, they can work even if you know you are taking a placebo. It's completely legitimate to consider placebo effects part of the efficacy of a medication.
> A statute of limitations is the limited period of time creditors or debt collectors have to file a lawsuit to recover a debt. Most statutes of limitations fall in the three to six years range, although in some jurisdictions they may extend for longer. Statutes of limitation may vary depending on state laws, the type of debt you have, or the state law named in your credit agreement.

https://www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/debt-collecti...

Someone in a similar situation to yours might consider researching your state's statute of limitations on debt, and if your debts are expired based on that statute, file a complaint with the CFPB, FTC, and your state's attorney general to report a debt collector's FDCPA violations. Not legal advice.

I asked what his point was because his comment really had no relevance to my comment which he was replying to. All my comment did was clarify that the original comment regarding foreign nationals having no first amendment rights was not accurate.

I could have also pointed out that he was not fully correct because visa applications are also completed within the United States. The judge in the case even agreed that there were first amendment issues regarding those completing applications within the US but in the case of immigration deference should be given to immigration requirements.

For a while, I had my RGB lightbulbs set up to flash appropriate colors when I would strike a note in Beat Saber. The effect was very neat and rave-y. The lights in the room would automatically dim to black when a song would start, and then flash the color of a struck note and fade back to black (with a speed proportional to the beat of the song).

Eventually the mod I used to expose the game events over a websocket stopped working, and the creator stopped maintaining it. I maintained a private fork of it myself for a while, but eventually got tired of spending so much time keeping it working after each game update just for the sake of a party trick.

Also my smart robot vacuum is only allowed to start vacuuming when my phone is outside a geofence around my home, and must stop vacuuming if I re-enter the geofence. I never see it vacuuming, but my floors are always clean!

There was a series of Flash games made responding to this trend: https://jayisgames.com/review/achievement-unlocked-2.php

I take Sidenafil for this which works for me, but I guess for other people it might be less effective.

Since we’re being honest, the only effects I’ve noticed are going soft after 20 minutes or so, and more difficulty finishing. Sidenafil helps with the former. As for the latter, it isn’t every time, and I don’t mind it much, but everyone’s different.

I think it’s important to address this issue head on though. The horror stories of sexual dysfunction were one reason I put off trying antidepressants. But (a) you’ll see the effects coming on gradually, (b) it’s not permanent, and (c) for me it wasn’t nearly as intense as people made it seem.
It seems to me that someone who can directly voice their views is a more efficient employee than someone who needs another person (their manager) to use their time do it for them. A company biasing to more efficient employees seems reasonable. Group meetings have other issues but if you can't even do it in async text form...

DTrace: Dynamic Tracing for Solaris (2002) [pdf]
P-waves can take several seconds to travel from the visible horizon (or beyond, as transformer explosions are visible for a long distance) to your location.

If the camera is on the far-side of the transformer from the epicenter, then it could take from 5 to 30 or more seconds for ground shocks to be apparent. Speed of travel through solid rock is about 10,000 km/h, slower through softer or more disrupted geology.

I think this comment might wildly underestimate just how much modern game engines like Unity, Godot, and Unreal bring to the table. They may very well be the most complex pieces of software in the world today
Having four different transit systems come into the city is what causes this problem. I think it should work like an airport: your major transit sits outside the airport, and the airport has a dedicated people mover to bring people into the airport. Keep Amtrak, LIRR, etc outside the city and make them transfer. It will be less efficient but more manageable.
If it ever shows up on my credit report I'll do that hah. Otherwise it doesn't affect me at all.
A while back I spoke to a winemaker who told me that her job was to make a wine that would match any of the price winning wines for less than $40 a bottle. They would buy the wines that won, analyze and match the flavor profile anyway they had to. She would blend wines from different areas and come up with the best flavor she could.

Wine making is not what it used to be. At one time the difference between good wine and great wine was huge. Now with automation and know how it's possible to have great tasting wine be inexpensive.

There's also the situation where winemakers sell their excess wine to bottlers so it's very possible that a great wine is sold cheaply simply because the wine maker needs to sell the excess inventory.

This situation where a very cheap wine wins a contest is not surprising. The big difference is that the flavor of a more expensive wine is more consistent than one you buy very cheaply.

Heck, you could extend it with Caddy Docker Proxy and go right back to the labels-as-configuration method.

https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

I actually do this, because I kinda like having the proxy config right next to the app config in my Compose file, but I also dislike how much manual configuration Traefik needs. Downside is you need to know how to write Caddyfile (easy enough) and then also know how to write labels so CDP translates them into the correct Caddyfile (also easy enough, but could be annoying if you're learning both at the same time). Upshot is that once you know how it translates and you know what you need to write, it works just like Traefik but with just two labels, and I think that's pretty neat.

Caddy can support a surprising amount of weird and wonderful configurations, too.
I haven't read anything that I've felt covered it fully. If you want something easy to consume on our economy and technological progress essentially being getting better at converting energy to productive work you can check out this somewhat decent link from Jancovici:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGt4XwBbCvA

It meanders a bit for the first 5-7 mins, but does a decent job of making the argument. Min 40 also has another pretty good slide.

It does go into covering recommendations which I'm not necessarily recommending, but it does accurately summarize our economy as one of energy transformation.

The best analogy in it is this. Right now if we need to do construction and dig a 10ft x 10ft x 10ft hole we can pull out a backhoe and be done in a min. If we with all of our current knowledge had to do it without consuming energy we'd be digging by hand with a shovel, and no faster than someone pre-industrial would. When you start looking at every industry you come to the same conclusion. All of our technological know how boils down to just better ways to be more productive in converting energy. But fundamentally consuming energy to be productive is the modern economy.

The Fall of France's Elite: ENA's Relocation and the Crisis of Meritocracy
I seem to remember somebody posted an analysis here that scrutinized the skyscraper construction issue more closely. It had something to do with the median floor plate size, or something to that effect. I do agree regulation has had some negative impact, but there are other challenges as well.

The author uses nuclear power plants as an example as well. I think that’s somewhat of a weak argument— Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the shutdown of SONGS (owing to unimaginably high fixed capital costs needed to continue operations) have all driven down the popularity of nuclear energy. Oh, and Fukushima.

Edit: the analysis was also done by Brian Potter. https://www.construction-physics.com/p/which-city-builds-sky...

> FHA is 3% down.

That's true in theory, though in practice any house you would actually want to live in is going may have a bunch of buyers competing on it and having an FHA loan (or VA, sadly, or USDA) ensures your bid is in last place. However, there are some conventional lenders that will do 3% if you get approved for PMI.

And yeah, some creditors will do pay-for-delete in which case you may be fine. If you have more than 1 that won't though you may have a hard time, especially if it's not due to medical or something easily justifiable.

Kate Starbird, disinformation researcher at the University of Washington, got her start investigating crisis communications and disinformation which would emerge during crises, at the University of Colorado Boulder.

See: <https://fsi.stanford.edu/events/beyond-%E2%80%9Cbots-and-tro...>

She discusses this in some of her online presentations on YouTube. If you're interested in those, I'd suggest looking prior to ~2020 and ~2016 specifically as later discussion gets more caught up in COVID-19 related and Trump-related topics. Which are interesting in their own right but not the sources I had in mind.

(I'll see if I can locate a representative video, there's a lot to comb through.)
> For some commentators, the recent downfall of the chemical imbalance theory has cast doubt on the use of existing antidepressant drugs, which were meant to restore the lost serotonin. Yet the data certainly suggests that they work better than placebos

I would argue with this statement. Antidepressants don’t work better than active placebos like atropine that make you feel “something is different” like dry mouth or elevated heart rate.
