Yeah, nuclear is hard because it was strangled in the crib for 50 years and it’s hard to make up that ground on time scales for net 0. It still remains the better bet for decarbonizing the grid and all the other neat ideas seem mostly like party tricks and nothing more. I think China in particular is interesting because there’s a good chance that they’re building enough capacity that their costs start to decrease & they become the world leader in fission plants. Specifically interested in what they’re doing with MSR designs because they should be much much cheaper than traditional HWR designs. But yes, it’s going to take us a minute to rebuild and restart our fission know-how as a species. It’s also telling that China is building a heck of a lot of fossil plants (natural gas & coal) in addition to lots of solar. That’s because they have a lot of electrification to do (they have a massive rural population & they also have much more transportation that needs to electrify to use grid power). Solar is a fine companion to handle daytime peak growth (which is why they’re reaching TW scale with solar) but that baseload growth remains a problem which is why they’re building so many fossil fuel and nuclear plants.

A colloquial definition of systems language seems close to: "exposes low level details and doesn't have garbage collection." By this definition c, c++, zig and rust are system languages, java and ocaml are not. Go is debatable (and people do debate this).

Personally though, I prefer to think of what types of _systems_ I can build with a language. I can design a framework in a high level language which then transpiles to, say, c. I consider this high level language to be a systems language because it facilitates a system (the framework). Others will disagree but it comes down essentially to a semantic question over what counts as a system language. That debate doesn't seem especially fruitful to me.

You’re going to have lay out a strong argument here if you want anyone to believe that ignoring the situation would lead to less hostility. We ignored russias land grabs Georgia which was followed up by Crimea being taken. We ignored that and it was followed up by a full scale invasion into Ukraine. The idea that we are at fault for the hostility here and, separately, that we should have stayed out of it is ridiculous
this book was a key stepping stone from being a support engineer on a product built on top of the bsd kernel, to becoming a developer on said product and launching a career as a software engineer with no formal college education whatsoever.

Being an investor doesn’t necessarily entitle you to information/leverage. For example, Apple earlier had plenty of board members from competitors & they would excuse themselves from certain discussions. Similarly, an investment doesn’t guarantee you a board seat. So there’s all sorts of ways to structure things and it’s all a negotiation (e.g. the break up fee could have been a 2B investment instead or something).

Anyway, I agree this turned out phenomenally well for Figma and if I were an employee I’d be really happy about how this all turned out both for Figma and the industry (modulo the delay in cashing out).

The obsession with thinness above all else is a great example of Apple's style-over-substance failures.

It's good for a laptop to be reasonably light and portable. Having one line that focuses on reducing size/weight and another that focuses on power, as Apple does, also makes sense. But if the power-focused branch is 15mm instead of 13, that is deeply not a problem.

A theory I've read on here is that VC returns come from a handful of hyper-successful firms, and the challenge is getting in on the deals in those firms at all, and the way you do that is by building a reputation as a visionary and generous investor by investing in ludicrous bullshit on founder-friendly terms. From this point of view, money given to Nikola isn't a bad investment, it's a marketing expense.

The price of batteries has declined by 97% in the last three decades:https://ourworldindata.org/battery-price-decline. And it continues to go down! The chart ends at 2018, $181/KWH. 2024 forecast is $94/KWH (half of 2018 price), 2030 forecast is $62/KWH. Thats just Lithium Ion. Newer chemistries are even cheaper. CATL first-generation cells (Sodium Ion) cost $77 per kWh, expected to drop to $40/KWH.[1]

Current estimate for a battery replacement is 4K - 20K. With energy storage's learning curve, this will be soon under $3K.

Mazda copied BMW's iDrive. iDrive was derided when it was introduced in 2001 [1], but it has turned out to be a good compromise.

Unfortunately BMW moved to eliminating a lot of hardware buttons in the latest version of the iDrive with a giant curved screen. They still have dial and buttons on the center console, plus few additional buttons under the main screen. But they have removed one of another great features - eight programmable buttons in the center. These are great and you can assign any function from the touch screen to them.

I wonder how this affects things like HPNSSH. OpenSSH's very small window size makes connection transfers over high latency links slow to an absolute crawl without any way improve other than patching SSH or figuring out how to bypass SSH for the actual data transfer.

> "18% of small businesses fail within their first year, while 50% fail after five years and approximately 65% by their tenth year in business. This information is as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

https://www.chamberofcommerce.org/small-business-statistics/

Combined with the long-term (25-year) data I cited further above, this indicates the majority of small businesses are started up recently. The pool of small companies is constantly turning over and refilling with new startups - of which the vast majority die in less than ten years and a very few grow to be large companies (thus no longer counted in the pool). By definition, the shape of the small business pool must be a very slender, very long curve when graphed by employee count.

I think the tech community has perhaps a different set of connotations associated with the term "startup" than the non-tech, non-valley populace. The vast majority of startups (ie small companies started in the past five years) aren't technology companies and aren't fast growth. Yet there are so many of them, they comprise two-thirds of new job creation. Even better, many of these newly created jobs are entry-level, don't require advanced degrees or rare skills and don't require relocation to costly and crowded urban centers.

I think this misconception of small businesses is pretty common in the high tech community. Before I was a tech entrepreneur in the valley, I started out as a non-tech entrepreneur far from the valley. Then I was a tech entrepreneur far from the valley, in a mid-western U.S. state. Despite being in the fairly large state capital, the largest regional newspaper wrote a story about "Tech Companies Here in the Capitol", citing my software startup and the local Radio Shack store as the only two :-). Yet the local Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Administration and entrepreneurship clubs were overflowing with pre-launch and just launched new startups ranging from a new kind of farm animal feed distributor to sandwich shops to (non-franchise) local restaurants to karate studios. Together these small businesses employed thousands of people in a city whose population could probably all fit within a few square blocks of NYC.

I also want to point out, the organic, diverse, self-renewing nature of small business reality outside the tech, valley, urban bubbles is incredibly encouraging. As much as I love tech (and how rewarding it's been for me personally), I'm thankful the fickle, boom/bust, incestuous nature of high-tech startups is statistically the rare exception of new companies being started which drive new job creation.
The 90's were such an amazing decade, maybe one of the most perfect in the past 100 years(at least for the US).

You had a outstanding job market for all professions with tech jobs still around if you chose. No wars(besides smaller conflicts in desert storm(91) and Bosnia(98)). Politicians/politics during that time were very moderate, George HW Bush and Clinton both governed from the right and left center respectively. Housing was extremely affordable and if you worked a half decent job you could expect to buy a house in most markets, My Wife's family bought a house in Redwood city and her Dad was in the trades, and Mom worked in printing. A house in the mid-90's in Palo Alto CA would run about $350-400k.

Music was outstanding in grunge(Nirvana, STP, Peal Jam) and hiphop was in its golden age(Wutang, Biggie, Tupac). For TV such classics like Seinfeld, Friends, and Star trek TNG were around. Movies like great sci fi and action movies - Matrix, T2, Jurassic Park and many many others were coming out all the time.

Having been a teenager during that decade I feel really lucky compared to the following decades and how bad they have turned out. The only downside to the 90's was crime was relatively high compared to today, but almost every aspect of life was superior unless you miss social media and glued to a phone(I don't).

Compared to what? Compared to letting Russia roll over countries one by one, countries that want to be our friends, countries who would become hostile to us?

> increases the chance of more hostility

Russia's going to invade Finland because they joined NATO? Yes, they've talked about it. But their hands are a bit full right now, and they have no ability to conduct such an operation against all of NATO.

And why are these countries wanting to join NATO? Because they are already threatened by Russia. The more Russia attacks places like Georgia and Ukraine, the more other countries on Russia's border decide they need allies. So NATO membership decreases the chance of more hostility, because Russia is not eager to get into a shooting war with NATO.

> and brings us closer to MAD.

Russia's going to go nuclear as part of invading Finland? No way.
