The idea that there needs to be a dichotomy between "nerds" and "jocks" is foolish anyway. Just because you're in physical shape doesn't automatically make you stupid, and just because you're intelligent doesn't mean you have to be out of shape or physically weak.

Unless a very major rewrite happened in the last few years, Defold absolutely does not power Candy Crush, in fact to my knowledge King has never shipped anything in Defold and it's fallen almost entirely out of favor internally.

The team I'm on is half PhDs. We aren't doing fundamental research, we are building a real product. We prefer to hire PhDs as applied scientists (which we distinguish from research scientist) because they are better able to apply and build new-ish ideas from academia. But most of what we do is not novel in the publishable sense. The PhDs I work with are certainly all smart, but aren't the top echelon you are describing.
Not just garbage collection but also the way hardware work is done with languages that allow you to write one-to-one memory representations in order to be able to drive raw interfaces of hardware. A GC language almost always comes with a reference based type system that hides the very interfaces you'd like to access (fast) and adds deserialization overhead which has visible performance and battery life effects.

The other reason is C interoperation. All of the common systems rely on C. C is not just a programming language. Since 80s everybody designs systems on top of C. We ended up with OSes written in C that ship their tightly integrated C compiler that outputs binaries optimized for C's memory layout and primitives that the very same OS runs on silicon that's optimized to run C fast. C unfortunately became the meta-language of the low level APIs.

Go's interoperability with C is out of hell. Its green-thread scheduler doesn't play well with C. The foreign function interface is defined in the comments (!) of a source file and making CGo work on custom cross toolchains is full of hard to solve compiler errors.

Rust can operate at the same level as C easily and it has all the low level primitives. C interoperability is a core language function that's part of the syntax and standard library. It solves many gotchas of C without compromising speed.
That seems extremely unlikely as it would require hundreds of versions of advertisements and menus.

A fantastic article that goes into a lot of depth and rigor until I got to the very end:

> GB here means 2^30, as it should when talking about base-2 memory. The only people who think it should be 10^9 are hard drive salesmen and the type of people who like to correct all their friends by saying “It’s centripetal, not centrifugal force!”. Also “gibibyte” sounds like Pokémon invented by a first grader.

This attitude ruined it for me. You're a technologist. You should care about vocabulary and precision. You are on the wrong side of history for both of these things - a gigabyte is 10^9 bytes as per SI, and centrifugal force is fictitious.

I challenge you: If a 1 GHz processor can process 1 byte on every cycle, how long does it take to process a 1 GB file? Hopefully you'll see the error in your ways.

Fragmenting the definition of the giga- prefix based on context leads us down some dark paths that we already traversed with the pound-mass vs. pound-force, pound Avoirdupois vs. pound Troy, fluid ounce vs. weight ounce, US gallon and UK gallon, liquid bushel vs. dry bushel, different varieties of tons, statute mile vs. nautical mile, and the list goes on.

I'm in Ireland, I'd say a good third of printed on labels are not even in the right currency, as companies have a single UK and Ireland SKU. It's also understood that generally it's the retailer that sets pricing, not the manfucturer, so when a book has $9.99/£8.99 printed on it and a store sticker with €12.99, nobody is confused that that's not the exchange rates, or about which price they'll pay.
The "brain vs brawn" is one of the most misguiding stereotypes in our society, surely left over from an older time when training in one necessarily meant less in the other.

In practice, today it's all about discipline. Lots of very smart technologists or financiers are also in great physical shape. The two correlate. (And by extension, if you look at the demographics that are least physically fit, they also tend to be the least educated.)

While I have not read the book, I have listened to and watched Harl's "Barbarian Empire's of the Steppes" on Audible and Wondrium.

It is chock full of information and Harl has a very engaging style of presentation. You can tell you are being taught by someone who has both a deep knowledge and love of history.

I would recommend listening to these lectures if you enjoy history.

Looking forward to reading the book as well.

It’s pretty incredible how animalistic its behaviors are becoming (hesitating for a moment at the edge of a lip, coiling it’s back legs for increased actuation, and when it almost misses the high jump and moves its back leg really fast multiple times to give itself a tiny boost each time until it recovers). Is that because it’s trained on animal behaviors? Or is this emergent behavior and animals just also do it more or less optimally already?
The extra funding alone is fantastic for Godot. The next year is going to be really exciting, with console support via W4 Games, ironing out some rough edges and missing pieces in C# support, renderer improvements, etc.

It's already a great engine for a lot of games, but very soon it's going to be a really serious alternative for most small teams. It was already on a strong trajectory since Godot 4, but yeah John helped.

Lotus Improv actually predates Brio's product. I remember clearly when Improv came out -- it was a really exciting breakthrough at the time.

Unfortunately Newsom is also doing some strange presidential run attempt where he's vetoed a bunch of popular bills everyone likes, including a new public housing program AB309.
Yeah it's annoying, but that still doesn't make it a hidden fee. They tell you upfront, and your "opt out" is to not overdraft your account.
Unfortunately including tips doesn't work because that's a variable and technically voluntary charge.

Also a problem for sales taxes because online stores don't know how much sales tax to charge until they have a shipping address.
Unfortunately noone knows what Newsom is willing to sign, because he doesn't comment on any legislation until it gets to his desk and then randomly vetoes half of it.
I'm not so certain that the resignation is a loud and clear "don't you dare," though. Career CEOs will land on their feet by finding a new business to champion. In the meantime, I'm fairly certain they would have been granted a monetary incentive to resign that's probably paying for a sabbatical in a nice resort somewhere before returning to work with a "new vision as a changed person." Perhaps that's just my skepticism leaking out though. Obviously none of us know the exact details of their departure. Perhaps you're even right.

It would be far harder and more expensive to reuse parts.

Just because there are mechanical parts and doesn't mean that they are reusable or serviceable.

Humans have basically no ability to do any manufacturing construction or service in space. It takes an 8 Hour Eva to change a couple bolts, risking human life all the time.

Bringing all of the tools and equipment to space to facilitate reuse would require far more than simply replacing it.

On top of that, most of the space station is worn out and far beyond it's design lifetime.

12 years? This is not a startup anymore.

Are you sure you're not really just done with a stagnant business and ready for something fresh? Have you been considering the opportunity cost of staying at a single startup for 12 years? It's generally a 1-year vesting cliff for a reason...

As far as if it's a good time for a sabbatical in terms of the economy/job market, I have nothing sufficiently informed to contribute.
I think a lot of responders here might be very young, even so young that they entered the workforce around 2011 or so and have never experienced a prolonged bear market. If that's the case for you, welcome to the shit. The days of sending your resume out on Monday and having a job offer with a 50% pay bump by Friday are over.

Having survived through all the tech downturns from 2000 onward, I would say: If you think your job is reasonably secure, don't even think about leaving it right now. Slow down a bit, maybe coast some and see if your mental health improves, take a week here and a week there of sick time, but don't let go of the life boat!

If you think burnout is bad, try having to send out hundreds of resumes and get one or two responses. That sucks. It sucks doubly when you are doing it at 11AM on a Tuesday because you're unemployed. Don't voluntarily do this to yourself.

So where's the money making opportunity? You're short selling at the market (ie. non-official) rate, and have to buy back at the market rate. The only way you'll make money is if the market rate drops even more, but whether that happens is uncertain. This just sounds like run of the mill currency speculation.

"In terms of industry choice, athletes are far more likely to go into business and Finance related jobs than their non-athlete classmates. In terms of advanced degrees, Ivy League athletes are more likely to get an MBA and to receive it from an elite program, although they are less likely to pursue an M.D., a Ph.D., or an advanced STEM degree. "

So, not so much that Ivy League athletes out earn their peers, but that they are more likely to prioritize money and choose careers that pay more in the first place.

The difference being each human has to spend thousands of hours learning that level of control over their bodies, and work hard to maintain that level of physical fitness. And if they fall off the roof, millions of dollars of potential earnings and GDP die with them. Whereas these robots are only $70k, and once one of them can do this, they all can do it. Just like with Chess and Go. It’s not impressive at first, then a couple years later, it’s better than humans could ever be, and it can be cheaply replicated ad infinitum.
We'll just have to wait and see, remain vigilant, and become organized.
This is the US, it's gonna be US-centric. But tax should be part of the price anyway for a physical store, cause there's no reason for it not to be. At least tip sorta has the point of being variable.
Is this really surprising?

Physical fitness, IQ and income are all positively correlated.
