Why Developer Productivity Is the Wrong Question
According to the developer productivity article from McKinsey, we now live in a world where developer productivity can be measured and controlled. While this article has caused some outrage among the consultant community, it has a certain feeling of inevitability. It's almost like we set ourselves down this path years ago and this is the expected result.

It means we invented mRNA vaccines, which were never organisms of any kind. But they're clearly vaccines. Whatever dictionary you picked updated its definition accordingly. Strictly speaking, according to your "Nov, 2020" definition, smallpox is a cowpox vaccine. I think that's silly. I'd prefer a definition like:

> vaccine (n): a substance that supplies antigenic information to the immune system to protect against a disease, while causing less harm than the disease that the vaccine immunises against.
I thought cheap instruments usually estimated CO2 from a MOS TVOC sensor.

In any case, for automation purposes, CO2 sensing is extremely useful. Regardless of whether you think indoor CO2 directly causes cognitive performance issues or is a proxy for other things that cause those issues (the issues themselves are well documented), indoor CO2 is an excellent measure for the fraction of indoor air consisting of exhaled air, which is a good thing to use for automated demand controlled ventilation.

If I’m not mistaken, this will be the first new construction package on this project since CP 4 started just north of Shafter in 2016. I’m glad to finally see some more funding going to this project. Taking the 119 miles which are currently under construction to 124 miles (out of 171 miles in the initial operating segment).

There are more grant applications in the works which will hopefully cover the remaining 47 miles.
The crown has seldom exercised power in the past 200 years, it's been low since long before Elizabeth. No monarch has refused assent to a parliamentary bill since 1708, or dismissed a prime minister since 1834 (which ultimately failed, that prime minister returned to power in 1835 after the king's meddling failed to produce a new government).

It's true that on paper the king holds a lot of power. But functionally all of that power is invested in parliament. The institutions of the state answer to parliament, and there are no legal grounds for the crown to claw any of those powers back. A serious attempt by the king to make his own independent pronouncements as if they have the force of law is honestly the only situation I could see the UK abandoning the monarchy.

Though I swear I recall reading some ominous wording, pointed out by another commenter, that subtly suggested the decision to quietly settle vs. aggressively prosecute was based on billions of dollars of potential economic fallout. Other articles [2,3,4] talk about contagion risk, but none are exactly what I recall. Funny how memory works!

ATT, where apple hobbled other ad networks running on iOS. It used to be that DTC companies could use the fine-grained targeting offered by FB and Google to reach consumers without needing to go through a major distributor. Since the targeting is much less effective it's more expensive (potentially uneconomically so) to reach people. As a result, sellers are forced back to Amazon.

> it wouldn’t cause any additional scrutiny in a code review.

I would hope that it would at least cause a "demonstrate that this is actually necessary" review. People do do this! and sometimes, you do have to use unchecked. A famous example of this is litearally huffman coding, by Dropbox, back in 2016. They ended up providing both bounds checked and unchecked options as a flag, because they actually did measure and demonstrate that things were causing performance drops. I am curious if they'd still have the same issues today, given that a lot of time has passed, and also there were some other factors that would cause me to wonder a bit, but haven't followed up on myself. Regardless, this scenario will end up happening for good reasons at some point, the goal is to get them to happen only when they need to, and not before.

Makes sense. one of the simplest ways of saving data in Unity (but not the most correct) is saving values via PlayerPrefs[0]. In Windows, this saving method defaults to registry instead of creating a separate save file in the game folder. if you don't make your own system for storing variables or running everything in cache and then use a smarter way of saving data, it can get out of hand fast.

This was way more common in the old Unity 5 days, though

oh, i get downvoted every time i bring this up on any social media platform that supports downvoting. see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37129256 for example.

I'm not sure where all of my research PDFs wound up over the last 20 years, but start with that DOI ( 10.1016/0014-5793(92)80414-C ) from 1992(!).

There's a trend to looking into the gut for causes of certain diseases. Prior to the pandemic, there were publications that Alzheimer's, for example, was linked to gut biome.

There's a growing (and, depending on your views of "life", alarming) sense that our guts are in more control than we think. This can cause a lot of "free-willers" to get upset and be reactionary.
The metrics presented in the blog post are those of our production model. When designing Boomerang, we tried to balance latency and search relevance in a manner that strikes the right balance for most use cases.

On the other hand, GTR-XXL is an example of a research model that biases in favor of search relevance, at the expense of latency. It's not really practical to deploy in production environments as a result.

> scrub atmospheric carbon

I've seen this phrasing frequently in regards to carbon sequestration and it always seems to wildly understate the real problem with removing CO2 from the atmosphere.

CO2 isn't some unnecessary byproduct of creating energy, compared to say soot in wood burning. The CO2 created is an essential part of the carbon cycle by which all living things store and release solar energy. CO2 + H2O + (Solar) Energy => Hydrocarbons + O2. This is how energy is stored on our planet from the energy in a high calorie soda to petroleum (okay technically sugar is not a hydrocarbon, but the idea still holds).

When we extract energy from foods, burning organic material, or fossil fuels we do so by reversing that equation: Hydrocarbons + 02 => CO2 + H2O + Energy

To "scrub" carbon necessarily requires more energy than we got out of the process in the first place. Photosynthesis, for example, is only 4% efficient. Which means it takes about 25x as much solar energy to build the log you burn then the heat and light you experience burning the log.

"Scrubbing" CO2 fundamentally requires tremendous amounts of energy, and more than we got from the energy source in the first place. There are natural processes, like rock weathering, than can do this without energy inputs, but those are hard to replicate and scale.

I think it's possible in a prompt for the LLM to remind itself of it's purpose in its own responses, creating a sort of flywheel effect. If you use a longer context window model (16k, 32k, 100k) this shouldn't be as much of a problem.

Net zero will probably save you money, not cost you money.

But giving you that small amount, or even charging you a small amount doesn't solve the problem, even after you scale it up to billions doing it. Because those billions are currently going to a relatively small number of people who really don't want those billions to stop coming to them and have the concentrated power to stop the vast democratic majority from getting their way.

And one of their techniques, alongside pretending the problem doesn't exist, or blaming other people, is to claim it would be expensive to fix.

Imagine a monopolist arguing, oh it would be really expensive to fix this market failure! and you have the rough idea.

It's a "collective action" problem, not one of missing tech or unwillingness to pay.

I'm not sure this holds. X64 decodes instructions (which is awkward) and stores the result in a cache, then interprets the opcodes from that cache. So the decoding cost only happens on a cache miss, and a cache miss on a deeply pipelined CPU is roughly game over for performance anyway.

> Of course most people understand wealth distribution is generally bad

Evidence to the contrary is the US progressive taxation policy, which is universally popular. In the absence of sane wealth redistribution mechanisms, wealth inevitably accumulates and stays at the top, at which point the vast power concentrated in a tiny group of hands hollows out democracy.

They were using the Amazon platform for what it was intended for, and Amazon made more millions off of them. It was supposed to be a mutually beneficial relationship.
Out of all the natural tech monopolies, Amazon is the ONLY one that did the opposite of exercising market power. They actually brought fast shipping to the market. A decade ago, you had to pay a crap ton of money to ship things even two days. They forced the incumbents such as Walmart to change. They’re constantly improving e-commerce. Heck they even opened up aws and created an entire industry. Amazon did more to reshape commerce in the US than anyone in the past two decades.

> I read the entire article. I literally quoted from it. Did you bother to read my entire comment?

I don't think you have. There is nothing in your comment that has any semblance of a relationship to the point made in the article you're supposedly commenting on.

Here's a direct quote from the article:

> “And the use of AI is also surveillant, right?” she continued. “You know, you walk past a facial recognition camera that’s instrumented with pseudo-scientific emotion recognition, and it produces data about you, right or wrong, that says ‘you are happy, you are sad, you have a bad character, you’re a liar, whatever.’ These are ultimately surveillance systems that are being marketed to those who have power over us generally: our employers, governments, border control, etc., to make determinations and predictions that will shape our access to resources and opportunities.”

That's a fun way I hadn't considered, thanks!

For the ultimate version of this, once locally trained and running LLMs becomes a bit more feasible (meaning, closer to GPT4), it would be a fun exercise to train various models with personas and let them hash it out until they all agree on something.

One model could be trained on HN, another on a specific Facebook user group (like "Moms against video games"), another on Twitter on so on, then you let them come together until they've reached consensus (or not).
Note that I don't mean one to be a defense of the other. It can be argued well that both markets are unhealthy. :D

To your numbers, though, I'm not sure I see the argument? I'd be very surprised if that 25 is evenly split between Nintendo and Microsoft. And where is Valve in that?

Playing into your argument, is Walmart really only 6%? Of all sales that happen period, how is the online/offline split? From my perspective, folks love to hate tech companies. You'll see silly headlines about 1 in 169 people work for Amazon. You don't often see similar headlines for Walmart, which has twice the associates, if I recall...
I mean… that’s basically the business case behind many tech companies, right? Build a moat.
Even if this action turns out to be toothless, it should still go a long way to shape public perception. I cancelled Prime 3 years ago and really haven’t looked back. I simply shop elsewhere, and between Target and eBay I don’t miss a thing. The Echos got unplugged, the AWS certs didn’t get renewed, their music service got canceled. I am all out and I hope others will do the same. For me this was driven by their anticompetitive behavior as well as terrible treatment of staff from warehouse workers to web developers. This FTC suit brings a new level of attention and gravity to their insidious practices.

Obviously a firm that massive can’t be all bad. As a consumer, the only thing I have is choice in how I spend my time and resources based on the information I have.
