Besides Far Cry 6 and it's strange bottlenecks, these are the other games I checked:

| Game | 3090 FPS | 4080 FPS | Delta | % Change |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 83.3 | 114.6 | 31.3 | +38% |
| Doom Eternal | 261.2 | 378.4 | 117.2 | +45% |
| Forza 5 | 108.2 | 147.3 | 39.1 | +36% |
| Halo Infinite | 95.7 | 107.0 | 11.3 | +12% |

Maybe all those years where Intel was stuck on 14nm made me forget how big leaps could be generation to generation, but to me those jumps of more than 30% are huge especially considering that while the 4080 is a gen ahead of the 3090 it's also a tier down.

Also if you look at 4K performance, the % gaps for all these games are even larger (and I'm not looking at 4K now because it's better for my point. My next monitor will be one of the 4K QD-OLEDs that were announced at CES, so those charts are now more relevant to me than the 1440p ones)

Meh, you contributed to a certain meme and they contributed a counter-meme because they feel strongly about it. I don't see the problem though their tone might put you on the defense.

But these vague claims are how we end up with memes like "oh that would never happen in $place/Europe/Japan" and such.
Most companies that pay insanely well like FAANG were always ruthless with people, they were just better at hiding it in previous years. Microsoft was notorious for stack ranking, amazon has always been Pip happy. Even google had a not so secret but always kept quiet “up or out” policy since its inception.
I love the way you describe dutch lunches - a thin piece of slice. I will use this in the future to refer to lackluster food.
I think he has the range. No one ever asked him for it. Maybe at that age he wasn't studied enough to, but the time a sequel came out, maybe. I do think the fault there is with Lynch not McLaughlin.

The more Brad Dourif shines then. Not only he carries a vital piece of exposition, he is quite striking in his small role and leaves a lasting impression. Compare this to that poor creature who sadly dies having done absolutely nothing.
Not allowed to install, no. Can’t recommend it.

As I said, don’t mind here and there… it’s helpful. But nag me and get replaced.
Honestly, that's the only reason I'd ever go there (and even then only very rarely). Not because it was "good," but because I knew what to expect. Although... I should probably qualify that bit about expectations: Last time I was there was probably early '22 and only because my dad was in hospice with a craving for one of their menu items (and fries). I bought a BigMac for myself, got home, and saw that the bun was moldy. No thanks!
Almost any phone will let you make an emergency call without so much as a PIN to unlock it. No active service required.
The knock isn't against .NET team.

Go did not start as a Linux only product for 15 years, and then only got ported half the ecosystem to other platforms, while keeping the key IDE, the one with experience to rule them all, Linux only.

Rather Microsoft's upper management, see the hot code reload attempt removal from dotnet watch, the new .NET plugins for VSCode with the same VS license, or the recent killing of VS4Mac.

Microsoft's management is also on the record in a couple of places, that VS Code will never have feature parity with VS, or that the best dev experience is VS/Windows.
I do not agree that sterile sci-fi was anymore common in 1965 then any other time period. Books like George R. Stewarts earth abides came out ten years before. PKD wrote the man in the high castle, martian time slip, do androids dream of electric sheep, and the three stigmata of Palmer eldritch, Ursula k le guin wrote the left hand of darkness a couple years after, like this list goes on and on. Yes there's trash like anything a.e. van vogt wrote but there's always trash.

Also I think dune is purposefully written in a particular way because one of the themes of the book is the disposableness of life and this is what the fremen oppose.
What's laughable is that you think the average minimum wage working person has a positive net worth.
I generally agree with you on that, but my partner started a new job (as a technical lead for an engineering team) about 6 months ago, and her onboarding was actually pretty good -- not perfect, there were some snags, but the overall experience was positive. Was it as good as in-person onboarding? Maybe not as good as if she were in-person at this same company, but IMO it was still better than the in-person onboarding I've seen at other companies. She started getting solidly productive after two months or so, which I think is comparable to most in-person jobs, especially when you're not joining in a more junior position. But social connections with the members of her team were definitely slower to form, and I think there are still (after 6 months) some holes there.

But... that's kinda ok? A company might be upset at any negative effects that might have, but I personally think it's a completely acceptable (fantastic, even) trade off for the ability to eliminate a commute, work in comfort, and have a more flexible schedule.

Obviously not all companies are going to do remote onboarding well. Just as many companies don't do a great job of in-person onboarding either. But that doesn't mean throw up your hands, give up, and make people go back to the office. It means... do better.

I do think remote onboarding is especially hard for people starting their first job in the industry. But I'm not convinced these problems don't have solutions. Maybe not perfect solutions, but good-enough solutions.
The original array lang is APL:

dot←+.×

but why give it a name when spelling it out is as short as the shortest reasonable name for it (and then you might need to put spaces around the name).
But why? It's much easier and cheaper to just leech off a star for energy. Your theory also doesn't explain why "most intelligent life" would choose that approach rather than only a subset, with the rest staying around stars like normal.
It's entirely possible - I usually feel like I'm routinely failing at management. My organization seems to disagree though, as they continue to give me the highest possible performance ratings, pay me absurd amounts of money, my team's gotten public commendations on its work from 7 levels up the management chain, the anonymous 360 surveys from reports/peers/etc. say that I'm better than 90% of other managers, etc. That alone may tell you something about the incentive structures in large corporations (and the economy at large).

I usually like to think of it as winning at a fucked up system. But then, that might be pretty illustrative of the title and article here.
A few you didn't mention that stand out to me, just because it brings me joy:

From memory (not very reliable but I'm not going to rewatch hours of video to find sources), Aaron said that when he asked around about working on a nano-pass compiler as a PhD thesis, nobody would take him seriously because it was believed to be impossible to do in a performant way. And he has done it, with this style of code. An world first. And it worked out orders of magnitude faster and less memory and less code than a comparable compiler written in Scheme (which Aaron is pretty good with - he used to be involved in the Scheme R5RS and R6RS standards committees).

He's also built the world's first APL compiler which runs on a GPU and outputs GPU code.

> - Brags about using Notepad instead of the fancy IDEs that us weak-minded plebians use

One of his points is that he's convinced programming as an industry went wrong by sidelining array languages, and we shouldn't need to be writing so much code to get things done. It's not so much bragging about using Notepad, as making a point that a) Notepad is enough for a complex piece of code, b) IDEs can't help much with tacit array code because there isn't tons of boilerplate to autocomplete, and c) concentrating on the code is easier without a lot of distractions.

> - Brags about how he can understand his own code. We can all understand our own code. Good code is understandable by others.

Another one of his points is that people who have not learned traditional programming find array-based programming much easier to pick up. And that's aside from the usual discussions here where you're basically saying "Brags about understanding Chinese. We can all understand our own native language, Good writing is written in English". Other people have contributed pull requests to co-dfns (apparently).

> - Brags about how easily he understands his giant ball of overly messy code

Given your previous criticism is that it's "not understandable", emphasising how it not only is understandable it's quite easy to understand, seems like a reasonable rebuttal for him to make. Apparently he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

> - (2- letter variables in the name of "semantic density")

That is the array style; his compiler is tacit (no variables) as much as he can make it, which means the few variables which are left are much easier to keep track of in memory. Regardless of that, there's a big gap between languages where people write 'k[i]=m[j]uv' and languages where people write 'pyramidPointVector[pyramidPointVectorOffset]=adjustedShadowMaskBools[rowAlignmentCounter]...' or whatever.

> - Uses an obscure (in the modern era) outdated language like some Cinema aficionado who refuses to watch movies in color like all those plebians

But also like someone who uses any highly specific tool for experts instead of the standard thing an ordinary person might find at Walmart.
I wonder what someone like Viktor Frankl would think of all this.
Is it that big of a difference?
Linguistic and cultural barriers are far stronger than informational barriers. Which may be an upside considering how other potentially self-destructive fads and attitudes spread so rapidly with the internet. We've seen the beginnings of that with the Arab Spring, and various culture wars across English-speaking western countries. If the world were even more homogenous the whiplash from such polarizing movements would be even more severe.
I feel like a former VPOTUS probably knows a thing or two about operating a large organization. Probably has a hell of a roladex, too.
> I'm sorry that your experience is bad.

It's not bad! I love my kids and my wife. My family brings me great joy and it's fulfilled a huge part of my loneliness and isolation that came from losing both parents. But it's also hard. I was running a solo founded startup that got VC funded, hired people, covid happened, we had kid #1 and then somehow had to survive it all. What made it hard was not having anyone to talk to. Ultimately a lot of life priorities had to change, the startup shutdown, and I had to figure out how to rebuild my identity outside of tech, but things are much better, we had kid #2, I'm having a blast being a dad, despite how tough it is. Yet I know with a little support, or even someone to just tell me, it's going to be OK, things would have been much easier. Sorry about your mum, I know it's hard.
>If you have an iPhone 14 or above, Apple offers similar capabilities to all iPhone users in about a dozen countries (so far) regardless of which mobile network you subscribe to at home.

Apple only lets you communicate with an emergency dispatch service. the T-Mobile/starlink service appears to allow sending and receiving texts to any number.

Maybe the criticism could be a bit more precise than “it sucks”. Though I am a fan of the animated series The Critic.
A key flaw in the essay is that the failure modes inherent in remaining a single-planet (or even a single-system) species go unstated, and are arguably even worse:

They would know that their fate was
created for them by ancestors who made
the choice to enter the starship, a
choice they could never unmake.
That might be irritating.

Um, yeah, and so is the knowledge that an oncoming asteroid is about to destroy the only planet we have.

In any case, the process of attacking the problems Robinson mentions will make us unimaginably stronger. Perfecting fusion power, understanding and mastering our own biomes, and learning to coexist with ourselves will hardly be a waste of time, even if we never overcome all of the showstoppers he cites.

In fact, I'd agree with Robinson in one key area: humans will never make it to the stars.

Somebody will, though. They won't be humans anymore, not as we are now. But their ancestors will have been. That's us.
Oh yeah it's immediately noticeable. How did they do it?

> architectural registers are always updated

In tiny code, the guest registers (global TCG variables) are stored in the host's registers until you either call an helper which can access the CPU state or you return (`git grep la_global_sync`). This is the reason why QEMU is not so terribly slow.

But after a check, this also happens when you access the guest memory address space! https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/include/tcg/tcg-opc... (TCG_OPF_SIDE_EFFECTS is what matters)

But still, in the end, it's the same problem. What QEMU does, can be done in LLVM too. You could probably be more efficient in LLVM by using the exception handling mechanism (invoke and friends) to only serialize back to memory when there's an actual exception, at the cost of higher register pressure. More or less what we do here: https://rev.ng/downloads/bar-2019-paper.pdf

I agree, though the book is more sterile than Villevenue’s, I think. His version had a few jokes, which is a few more than the book has, as I recall.
I'm not working on engineering/programming related stuff right now, but I did start the year with a resolution to write some more music - been playing guitar for nearly 20 years now, but most of my playing is just looping a few chords and noodling over it. Which is fun! But I would like to actually get some songs done. Not for any particular reason, just seems fun.

I try to just sort of follow my interests in my free time instead of optimizing it or trying to find some "side hustle." Sometimes I'll be fiddling around with programming related stuff, sometimes its music, sometimes I get into a game for a while. Last summer it was (kind of out of left field for me) fishing - just bought a rod and some tackle and started going out.

If there's any antidote for "the hustle" it's fishing - sure, you can spend 1000s on gear if you want, but at the end of the day, you're going to go sit out in nature for a while and some days you just won't get a single bite. The first few times that happened, it bugged me, until I realized that sitting by the water for a couple of hours is a great use of time regardless of whether I see a single fish.

Another thing I like about fishing is it's just active enough that it keeps my mind busy - instead of sitting there worrying about the budget or whatever, I', just thinking "maybe I should try reeling a bit differently" or "maybe I should move down the bank a bit" or "maybe I'll tie on that new lure". It's like perfectly tuned to keep me pleasantly distracted while not being stressful or high-pressure in the least.

My oldest son asked for a kayak this Christmas, and I found a pretty good deal on a pair of fishing-style kayaks from a local guy who was getting rid of his. I'm very much looking forward to trying some kayak fishing this summer, there's so many good looking spots that weren't really accessible from the shore.

Speaking of kids, that's also a great way to pull myself away from the drive to constantly be doing something new and "productive". They keep me busy and while there's times I wish for a little more free time, overall they're a blast. My oldest and middle child are now old enough to game with me - we spent a lot of time over the Christmas break playing through the new Mario game, Mindustry, and even a bit of Fortnite (that's their thing, not mine, but it's something to do).
If you're feeling like you're stagnating, here are some ideas to help get you jump started that I've done over the years.

There are a lot of things you can learn that are inherently *fun*. Maybe try learning something that sounds fun and interesting to you! Some examples for myself include things like Ham Radio, how and why radio signals bounce off the atmosphere. Or cooking, figure out how to make the best salsa you've ever had by getting a molcajete and fire roasting some tomatillos and peppers. Or go learn Unreal Engine, and the endless wonders and rabbit holes therein. Or make your own toy programming language, or teach people about programming, or make it a goal to make the best apple pie, or chili, (or insert your favorite food here) that you've ever had. Learn how to make the best margaritas the world has ever seen. Or take up making homemade ice cream. Get into 3d modelling or animation or texturing. Take up dog training, and do agility or dog dancing. Take up camping, hiking, backpacking, cross country skiing, mountain biking. Learn about wilderness survival, or backcountry emergency medicine. Getting certifications can be a fun way to force yourself to learn things you wouldn't otherwise, and my ham radio license and emergency medicine first responder certifications were really fun to get. Learning to draw can be super fun, and easier than you might think (get the book "Drawing with the Right Side of the Brain"). Fitness, take up some form of exercise that sounds fun to you; in my case I did powerlifting. Take the Fastai course and learn to make ML models from scratch. Learn to fly the A10 Warthog in DCS-- they say that if you can do that, you can do anything in simulation gaming. I'd go further than that and say that learning all the content in the FastAI course was easier than attaining a level of mastery with the A10.

People skills: One of the most impactful things I've ever done is take the Masterclass in Negotiation. That and reading the book Nonviolent Communication changed how I think about and deal with people forever. The book on body language, What Every Body is Thinking is very fun and will help make you never be bored in a meeting again. The Like Switch is also pretty great. Together I consider these a pretty fabulous two semester course in dealing with people.

Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you get some momentum on something it gets easier. A lot of these things can be combined, like you can listen to tutorials about how to fly the A10 while you're out walking.
And as it turns out many people are incapable of putting things in writing because they can’t organize their own thoughts.
I disagree that Apple's capability is similar. The feature only allows texting emergency services, requires holding the phone in a specific orientation to send or receive, is separate from your carrier service (only two years are free with purchase), and is exceedingly slow.

SpaceX's service will allow texting and receiving texts from anyone using your carrier number, plans to support third party messaging apps such as WhatsApp, is much faster, and does not require holding the phone in any particular orientation to receive messages. It can supposedly work from a pocket or inside a car.
the value is twofold:

if i have 10 endorsements, i want to pick the best 5. whether a celebrated person is among them is besides the point. i still want to choose.

by default, newer endorsements are better than old ones because they are likely more current. and i am not going to go out of my way to seek a new endorsement if it isn't a better one than what i already have, so when i do get one i most likely want it at the top, so making that default reduces effort and confusion

> /end rant (cost: -37 karma)

I wish people wouldn't sarcastically portray themselves as the underdog. It comes off as superior, rather than humble.
As soon as the far-$party figures out they “win” when moving more towards the center, is when the 2-party system implodes.

Fortunately, far too many people in “power” have ego problems for this to ever actually become a problem.

Until then, we will continue to get action/reaction like has happened in American politics for the past few cycles.
But with tight controls of the financial system, none of that matters. Revolutions in the past were possible because government lacked the power/abilities to enforce the laws and nip dissent in the bud. Once a country goes fully cashless, you won't even be able to feed yourself if those in power decide not to allow it. And it's not even strictly more authoritarian countries that will exercise this power. It happened in Canada, a progressive western democracy, by a liberal government during the trucker protests. Now add it the ability to fully track/monitor all citizens in real time with cameras and AI/ML, and the power differential is orders of magnitude more between a person and their government than it ever has been previously.

So as much as it hurts me to say it, I don't think this or anything else will make a difference. Once freedom is lost somewhere, it may not even be possible to get it back.
