Sorry, but this is a lazy take. Sure: horrible managers can kill anything. Horrible team members can do it as well. So can horrible company cultures, horrible tool choices, etc. There are horrors for every occasion in the software industry.
I don't think it's very common to work until you are 80 years old though. Also, is the 55K$ figure after taxes?
How can you assure us that Vision Pro is nowhere close to that? Do you have one?

As someone who bought the original iPhone, it was extremely impressive, but had many many flaws. The browser was practically unusable over 2g and the whole pinch to zoom the New York Times desktop site was never actually practical.

I think the parallels are clear.

I also bought the original MacBook Air. Now that truly was terrible and stupidly overpriced. More expensive than the Vision Pro when adjusted for inflation, and with major functional problems. Today it’s the world’s most popular laptop.
I'm kind of bullish on Intel right now. They've moved up so many process nodes so quickly and have made some earnest headway in being an actual fab. Let's ignore the elephant in the room which is taiwan and it's sovereignty, and only focus on the core r&d.

Intel flopped so hard on process nodes for 4 years up until Gelsinger took the reigns... it was honestly unprecedented levels of R&D failure. What happened over the 8 years prior was hedge funds and banks had saddled up on Intel stock which was paying healthy dividends due to cost cutting and "coasting". This sudden shock of "we're going to invest everything in R&D and catch back up" was news that a lot of intel shareholders didn't want to hear. They dumped the stock and the price adjusted in kind.

Intel's 18A is roughly 6 months ahead of schedule, set to begin manufacturing in the latter half of 2024. Most accounts put this ahead of TSMC's equivalent N2 node...

Fab investments have a 3 year lag on delivering value. We're only starting to see the effect of putting serious capital and focus on this, as of this year. I also think we'll see more companies getting smart about having all of their fabrication eggs in one of two baskets (samsung or tsmc) both within a 500 mile radius circle in the south china sea.

Intel has had 4 years of technical debt on it's fabrication side, negative stock pressure from the vacuum created by AMD and Nvidia, and is still managing to be profitable.

I think the market (and analysts like this) are all throwing the towel in on the one company that has quite a lot to gain at this point after losing a disproportionate amount of share value and market.

I just hope they keep Pat at the helm for another 2 years to fully deliver on his strategy or Intel will continue where it was headed 4 years ago.
It does require training. You have to watch several videos in the break room.
Bill pay adds several middlemen. Before there was each party’s bank and the postal service. Now there’s the bank’s bill pay department which is sometimes contracted out. The actual printing and mailing of the check is usually contracted out. The bill pay service sometimes tries to be smart about binding an address to a name and sometimes autocorrects to the wrong address. Finally checks always have human error on the part of the two meat bags that are the payer and payee (threw out envelope or let it fall off their table and under a couch).
> What are you talking about?

I was being ironic, as revenue for a company that size is easy. However, deciding what to use it for is hard.

Growing new lines of business is even harder for old companies.

So I was only half joking: given the poor use google had made of the resources they have, I really think they don't have enough resources (both brains and dollars) to grow new business lines because I don't think they have anything in their pipeline that can go big.

Maybe I will be proven wrong (good for google!) but I think they should have been more proactive in the last 5 years: you reap what you saw, but they've cut what was trying to grow, so their harvest will be small.
Not a Mac but this illustrates:

I have a screen for my simrig (racing wheel and pedals setup almost like a car cockpit) with a wireless keyboard that has a touchpad in it mounted to the rig. On my desk across the room, I have a screen, mouse and keyboard, and the PC that powers that rig. I have to turn one or the other monitor off in order to just use the one mouse next to it on it alone. If this was for Windows also, I would use it to keep the monitors separated with their own input devices.

I could imagine several creative workflows that could use setups separated like this, perhaps in a photo studio or a CNC shop.

I want you to ask yourself, how scary would it be if the population was 70% over the age of 60? You have three scenarios: old people working themselves into a grave, starving in the streets, or you're being taxed like a slave at 70% just to feed them. That sounds like a really scary future to me.
Depends on the industry. In games you had to fight tooth and nail to be remote. Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft really, really did not want devkits to be in private residences.

Pandemic comes and a lot more of that relaxes. Like the rest of tech, some studios are trying to revert but there's a lot less doctor's notes needed to justify remote now.
There's a retired welder who lives down the street and a retired professor across the street. The welder has a large beautiful custom built home, six horses, on about a half dozen merged rural lots. The professor lives in a double wide mobile home on a small lot. That's not very surprising in the US, why should it be in Nigeria?

once i was on a terpentine road up a mad tall mountain in a car with a driver who drove fast as balls and there was no railing and i told him "someone should put up fucking thicc railings up in hyaa"

and he said "there used to be railings but the poor people take it and sell it to buy food for their families"

made me think and
forget about the panic i felt from the dangerous and dodgy slithery road i was on for a moment.

You don't know what you're talking about. If he didn't fire those employees there would be no Twitter and 100% of the jobs would be gone. Twitter was losing money and nearly bankrupt. It was not a profitable company when he bought it. After learning about the actual state of the company he tried to exit the deal but was sued by Twitter and legally forced to complete the deal. He has since turned it into a profitable company.

i worked at intel between 97 and 07. MFG was absolute king. Keeping that production line stable and active was the priority that eclipsed all. i was a process engineer, and to change a gas flow rate on some part of the process by a little bit, i'd have to design an experiment, collect data for months, work with various upstream/downstream teams, and write a change control proposal that would exceed a hundred pages of documentation. AFAIK, that production line was the most complex human process that had happened to date. It was mostly ran by 25-30 yo engineers. That in itself was a miracle.
I think you have rose tinted glasses. I had one too, and the browser was garbage over 2g. You forget how much time was spent looking at that checkerboard pattern.

As for email. Proper email client? It was pop3 only, and you had to manually tap to fetch new messages.
So, I've looked at lem. Lem seems to be a really great start and push in the right direction.

I work in LEM for my personal projects, that dont have other LSP integration needs and hooks into my org-mode/org-babel workflow. These should not be show stoppers, but will eventually be a non issue.

There are however some features that I'm missing in LEM before I can fully switch over.

1. The documentation for Lem is lacking.
2. I have lazy hands and hit shift on some keys when I shouldn't (shift and backspace for example). I'd need some way to ignore that.
3. An built in undo, (c-x u equivalent).
4. A documented library interface (this is kinda #1 again)

I will eventually get around to making my own plugins to solve most of these. Its a matter of time vs tradeoff.

I've done it in Kotlin, and I suspect that modern Java should be quite amenable to it with records.

It was really nice in my Kotlin project because we were dealing with legacy data structures with very confusing names—being able to guarantee that a UserID doesn't accidentally get passed where a UserDataID was expected helped prevent a lot of the bugs that plagued the legacy apps.
I would assume it runs on the edge, since it runs in the browser via WASM. It's also implemented in Rust, which provides some flexibility. It will likely depend on the specific edge runtime though. The runtime would need something resembling a file system.

The thing I like about Victor is that it uses OPFS for storage when running in the browser, meaning it doesn't keep everything in memory. I looked at Orama a bit and from my reading I think they keep everything in memory, although I didn't dig too deep and would like to be wrong about that.

This is similar to Voy [1], which runs entirely in memory.

Unfortunately, for my own usage running in memory feels like a non-starter since the data size is unbounded.

Hence "was CTO". The business in question was sold to the competitor in 2021. While the details of the transaction were undisclosed, said competitor received a funding round shortly before the deal was done for an amount far less than YC and friends invested in wholesalad's company. Needless to say it was almost certainly sold for pennies on the dollar. Hard to win over farmers when you don't understand them.

What systems to handle it?

The cashier puts the check under the cash tray like you do for $100 bills, and then you toss the check in the cash bag that you send to the bank that night or at the end of the week or whatever, and the bank handles the check.
Intel also had a later chance when Apple tried to get off the Qualcomm percent per handset model. This was far after the original iPhone. Apple also got sued for allegedly sharing proprietary Qualcomm trade secrets with Intel. And Intel still couldn’t pull it off despite all these tailwinds.
40% of all bioavailable nitrogen produced on this planet is produced industrially. Most human beings exist only due to industrialization, they would not exist if industrialization wasn't a reality. Feeding people and having people cannot be separated. You can't have an earth with this many people without industrialization, short of razing all forest land and farming on it, which seems to me to be much more destructive than industrialization.
The main bar chart [1] seems at first shocking, then deceptive. Bar height is illegal $ transacted, but there is no multiplier for moral repugnance or "just how illegal is each $". Surely $1 transacted in illegal human trafficking is far worse than $1 transacted in illegal sand trafficking.

I don't understand. There is a near-infinite number of banks and credit unions that don't charge fees or allow over drafting.

Note that a bank not allowing overdrafts (e.g. by returning checks NSF if the account has insufficient funds for them to clear) does not guarantee that an account will never end up with a negative balance. In particular, you might deposit a check which is later returned (as NSF, or as being fraudulent) and not have enough money in your account to cover the check at the point when it is returned -- hence Patrick's point that checking accounts require the bank to extend credit even if the only thing you ever do is deposit checks.
> Watch weren't more than $300

The first Apple Watch started at $349 for aluminum/small screen.

Living in LA at the time, I know a lot of people that coughed up the extra ~$250 (so $599 total) because of the implications of having the aluminum ones.
Sure, but after people stop working it's common for them to replace their working income with Social Security, other pensions, and withdrawals from retirement accounts in which their savings compounded over time.

And the median household income is actually $75k now. I'm just saying that $55k is very much in the ballpark for the median person. Does it really matter if that's before or after taxes?

They mostly work now and they are decent options at the low-end (what used to be the mid-range: $200) where there is shockingly little competition nowadays.

However, they underperform greatly compared to competitors' cards with similar die areas and memory bus widths. For example the Arc A770 is 406mm^2 on TSMC N6 and a 256-bit bus and performs similarly to the RX 6650XT which is 237mm^2 on TSMC N7 with a 128-bit bus. They're probably losing a lot of money on these cards.

I mean, clearly the competitors eating Intel's lunch do not look like that. Nvidia does not look like it. Apple doesn't. AMD doesn't. Just seems like ordinary competitive churn in the marketplace to me.
Have you tried spilling things to SSE registers instead of to the stack? I've never done something that might benefit from that on x86, but my understanding is that by the time you get to ... maybe Sandy Bridge? ... it's all one big register pool and the moves are just register renaming, not physical movement.
One gets Bose-Einstein statistics from the same urn setup: if you draw two marbles from such an urn, the three combinations RR, RG, GG are equally likely.

An obvious visual proof: Line up 101 marbles. Choose one to be the divider; to the left is red, to the right is green. Now draw two more marbles. Or just pick three, then decide which one is the divider.
> Look at Haskell and Rust jobs. They might have some of the most highest paying but most of them get paid less

I would bet that's because there are a large number projects that got written in Haskell/Rust by someone looking to learn on-the-job, for a highly non-technical business. Now anyone hired to implement new business capabilities is inherently locked in to "low-ROI" work, short of convincing the business of a big rewrite in a new language (unsurprisingly impossible)... and they'll probably get someone else looking to learn the language on the job :)

Then there are HFTs with valuable and effective software, which can fully exploit the skills of an advanced engineer to quickly make the company 10x+ their wages - naturally such jobs pay a bit more.

Jobs basically pay based on the rarity of the skill set and the profit capital owners can extract from the laborer.

Don't "invest" in a rare/difficult-to-acquire skill set which is not profitable (but also, don't assume life needs to be an investment - we only have the one :)

How do you offer free housing in "decent neighborhoods"? "Decent" is not an immutable quality of a place, its a property that emerges largely from the people that live there. Decent people are decent neighborhoods.
On paper and practically speaking it makes sense, use the hardware for as long as possible. The extra work will be done by the people in charge of break fix work in the DCs. That rate of that is likely to increase.
> a non-trivial scientific result that was meaningful in any way

I assume you mean non-trivial and meaningful to society and to the progress of human knowledge. My whole point is that those properties are not necessary to doing 'science'.

What I do is non-trivial and meaningful to me and sometimes to people I know, to a few people on the Internet, and/or to my community or co-workers. Though sometimes the data is trivial even to me, and still it's a joy, the joy of exploration and curiosity. Also, there are infinite questions beneath the threshold of professional science costs that can be investigated (and some of those are just hyper-local questions).

Science doesn't have to be big and globally meaningful. That stuff is very important, but that's not all there is - not nearly. Just do science - just do it and stop debating if and the semantics - do some experimentation, with some hacked objectivity, controls, etc. It's a powerful tool: what you discover when you actually try it, whatever it is, will change your perspective, will raise new questions, and will lift up your mind and spirits, guaranteed. I know so much more about the world than many people, simply by doing a bit of exploration through experimentation.
Yes, but $55k per year doesn’t get clicks or inspire a profound explanation.
Any archival purposes should use the Internet Archive; Google's cache couldn't be counted on to remain present and unchanged, even before this.

(The Internet Archive can't be counted on to remain unchanged either, but at least the Internet Archive will either remain unchanged or disappear, never change. I wish archive.org didn't auto-nuke entire sites based on robots.txt, because when domains disappear the domain squatters often seem to use robots.txt files for some reason.)

> I trust Microsoft a little more than Apple, as by default there's more freedom on Windows than on MacOS

Can you elaborate a bit on “by default there’s more freedom on Windows” part?
There were some technical issues with the follow-through that they didn't foresee. CPUs need to closely manage their power usage to be able to extract maximum computing power, and leaving a big chunk of static power on the table in case the FPGA needs it. The idea of putting an FPGA on a die was mostly killed by that.

Regarding other plans, QPI and UPI for cache coherent FPGAs were pretty infeasible to do at the sluggish pace that they need in the logic fabric. CXL doesn't need a close connection between the two chips (or the companies), and just uses the PCIe lanes.

FPGA programming has always been very hard, too, so the dream of them everywhere is just not happening.

Given the stated currency, I suspect the bank account in question is in the UK, so the criminal law wouldn't be entirely identical. But in any case, it wasn't necessarily a crime -- someone (especially if elderly or impaired) might have accidentally used the wrong chequebook. It's only a crime to write a cheque on someone else's account if you do it deliberately.

To me, the biggest issue here is simply "banks should not recycle account numbers".
