"It really matters to do well in your classes, even the ones that are just memorization or blathering about literature, because you need to do well in your classes to get into a good university. And if you want to start a startup you should try to get into the best university you can, because that's where the best cofounders are. It's also where the best employees are. When Larry and Sergey started Google, they began by just hiring all the smartest people they knew out of Stanford, and this was a real advantage for them."

Opinions may differ but to me this sounds really pathetic. "[B]lathering about literature." Maybe he is addressing a room full of social outcasts.

Yes, there is so much money that has flowed through Google, it's truly astounding, but nevertheless, beyond fortuitous circumstances, this has only persisted because of dissemination of online ads and anti-competitive conduct. Is there is any kid who is thinking, "My dream is to put ads on every screen and collect more data about peoples' lives that has ever before been collected. Settle all the lawsuits against us for violating peoples' privacy, pay off all the regulators, fire people by the thousands, let harassment run rampant amongst our managers, and destroy eveidence so the government cannot catch us breaking the law." All they see is the money and hype and, during ZIRP, lack of comparable alternatives in terms of opportunity and compensation.

Silicon Valley VC telling kids that learning how to program is more important than getting an education, advising them to go to university not for the education but to find "cofounders" and employees. Hard to rationalise how this would be healthy advice for anyone.

Common Corpus: the largest public domain dataset for training LLMs
The chip supply chain is a lot shorter and more concentrated than the mining supply chain. If you're thinking of "rare earth" metals in particular, it's probably better to focus on the refining rather than digging out of the ground. Between South America, West Africa, and Australia there are lots of mines for most of the metals, but only refining in China (because it has been highly subsidized by both monetary and regulatory means since the 90s). Silicon refining is similarly bottlenecked even though the high quality input material is mostly US sand.

Flightradar24's visual representation definitely sucks, but comparing the two, gpsjam has a lot of unexpected missing areas across Africa, South America, and SE Asia that at least have some data on FR24.

I'm not sure if that means FR24 has a better dataset, or they're processing it differently or if they're just extrapolating from few data points when they maybe shouldn't be.
But, they are closing roads making them one way etc, that creates the traffic problem. It's bad governance - creating pain to allow government to administer the preordained 'solution' - no cars!

Moving to car less city is the goal, but, as others note, the infrastructure is not there. So you're just pushing cars out... with no real answers being provided.

All of them, since they replaced the C API with the JavaScript based one in GNOME 3.0

"GNOME Shell and extensions are written in GJS, which is JavaScript bindings for GNOME Platform APIs. For an overview of how extensions fit into GNOME Shell and the platform, see the Architecture page."

Roll-up was never an extension on UNIX windows managers, having to install one is a joke on us.

As for the GNOME developers stance on that, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/1028

Interesting project. I almost wish I had a concurrency bug to test it on.

> Guest software running in the Antithesis platform still experiences concurrency similar to a multi-core / multi-machine system, thanks to the process scheduling imposed by the guest OS

This might not exercise the full set of race conditions. When two threads are running simultaneously on separate cores (or hyper-threaded on the same core) they can interleave instructions at a much finer granularity than any OS time slicing would cause, even within instructions.

For example, could it find a race condition where two threads are executing INC [addr] on the same memory address, where context switching between instructions doesn't trigger it?

> Intel needs a reason to build in the U.S.

I mean, if Intel is only motivated to build in the USA when it gets a fat check rather than out of conviction, I think that's a problem too, no? Does this mean that whenever maximizing (short-term) shareholder value is at odds with national sovereignty the USA will have to hand them out a check?

I don't know that this is what's going on here, perhaps Intel really is committed to the USA beyond the individual gain of its executives and shareholders. It's worth noting though, there's some prominent examples in US history where this hasn't been the case. Banks for example got really rich at the USA's expense in the years leading to 2008.
$8.5 in corporate welfare, out of a total of $39B that "Biden has to spend." - That's about $100 per person in the US. How about just give us each $100 instead, and we can vote with those Dollars for what we want? Maybe we'd rather invest it in food, clothes, shelter, transportation, etc.

I am sad that you decided to give up on solving the multi-core parallelism issue, since each guest running on a single core is a dead giveaway to malware that they're not on a real machine, but it's understandable.

I work in a similar way. If I focus on a problem for too long at a stretch, I find myself running in circles. I have to break things up with a distraction, oddly said distraction being a different problem, sometimes. It's uncanny how solving one smaller issue lets me get back to the larger one with a fresh take.

As for the journaling part, not so much. I've tried a few methods, but either they don't jive with the variety of tasks I have to track, or they end up being couched in an app that makes the process a slog.

Google maps (and your phone's location services) seldom rely only on GPS.

For one, accelerometer-based location has become pretty good. You can usually get by for a few kilometers on the average road.

For two, Google maps is aware that you are driving, and this it sticks to roads, especially ones that are on your itinerary, because of your GPS registers as the middle of a field, it's more likely that you're experiencing GPS issues rather than you driving at 130km/h in a potato field.

Finally, location services are amplified by nearby wifi signals, mapped by google with street view. Your phone can say "here is the Mac address of every wifi network I can see and a rough estimate of my position" and Google's services can very accurately triangulate where you are.

We've tackled some pretty gnarly migrations with GritQL and it has saved us a lot of time.

Not saying this with snark, but how many of those former peers work for companies with a clear pipeline to train people? Usually when I hear complaints like "We can't hire or keep good help" it's correlated with a company who isn't willing to invest in developing their workforce.

Python violates that definition however, by allowing internal newlines in strings. For example /^c[^a]t$/ matches "c\nt\n", but according to POSIX that's not a line.

I suspect the real reason for Python's behavior starts with the early decision to include the terminating newline in the string returned by IOBase.readline().

Python's peculiar choice has some minor advantages: you can distinguish between files that do and don't end with a terminating newline (the latter are invalid according to POSIX, but common in practice, especially on Windows), and you can reconstruct the original file by simply concatenating the line strings, which is occasionally useful.

The downside of this choice is that as a caller you have to deal with strings that may-or-may-not contain a terminating newline character, which is annoying (I often end up calling rstrip() or strip() on every line returned by readline(), just to get rid of the newlines; read().splitlines() is an option too if you don't mind reading the entire file into memory upfront).

My guess is that Python's behavior is just a hack to make re.match() easier to use with readline(), rather than based on any principled belief about what lines are.

> Lego has a reputation because it built that reputation over decades of solid and reliable delivery.

Really? I'm not sure about that. I think LEGO built a reputation, because it was patented until 2008 and competitive products were not even a thing.

Mould King was founded 2012, also more than a decade ago.

> Pseudo-Lego brands built a reputation of competing on price while trading off quality and reliability.

This maybe true for chinese rip-offs, but the more modern approach is innovative, even with licensed models (see CADA MASTER Mercedes-AMG ONE 61503 or Mould King 12025 Orient Express). Features like LED lights, remote controls, remote controlled doors or REAL steam have not been approached by modern LEGO sets.

Capital-T "Tech companies" can uniquely provide engineers with a sense of 'code ownership' because engineers actually own the company. This control is given because of the expectation that it will accelerate the company's growth. If growth is less of a goal, less control is given, and the role of engineer tends to be more of a wage slave type of role, where as much value is extracted from the employee as possible over a very short timespan and not much thought is given to transformational growth.

You'll notice even in tech companies that have matured, they tend to lose the engineer ownership, modern tech, and collaboration. They trend towards your typical hourly job that people are not personally invested in. This is a natural consequence of not being employee-owned, and also of not having much of a transformational future in store.

Of course, it's possible for an agriculture company to exist and be employee-owned. But without the 10x growth, it's not really a "Tech company" and you'll have a very different experience of the working conditions, amount of control/ownership, etc.

That's just the personal term I use to describe it, but I'd say it's a mix of lack of life experience, lack of expectations from the school, personal attitudes, lack of seriousness, lecture-hall style teaching and too many students, and low standards.

Examples:

- vandalizing all signs with the letter 't' around the school because the school has a reputation for "stealing a giant T" from a building, but all the students are too busy with career stuff to do anything like that

- saying "I want a job that pays me the most money"

- walking out in the middle of class after an attendance quiz

- administrative staff sending out emails with numerous typos

- lack of serious thought into important topics

I think American college students tend to be less mature than European ones due to being stuck in a suburb for 18 years as well.

Defining dark horse: "a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds."

Compared to Altman, Emad Mostaque is a relative nobody and a somewhat controversial figure at the head of what is apparently one of the frontrunners of the AI industry. Additionally, releasing the model, something that was I assume very capital intensive to create, is definitely a bold business strategy, and not one we've seen succeed yet despite the popularity of Stability's models and its derivatives within the open source ai community.

>The entire AI industry is powered by piracy at a massive scale.

ARRRRR..

This is a grey area still for me. It's a neural network. It works similar to our brains work, but more consistent. It's doesn't seem like piracy to me. If an artist was really into Salvidor Dali, and happened to imitate his surrealist style, it would not be considered piracy. In fact, this is how art has evolved over the centuries. Each relevant artist in the past has incrementally contributed to what we call art today.

I feel like the people unwilling to accept that AI may impact their career are more worried about putting food on the table than anything else, which is very understandable, but it's just the cost of progress.

The bigger problem we need to deal with is how to retrain and provide job placement who are affected by disruptive technologies. We've really failed the public on this in the past and I don't think it's worth nerfing emerging tech just to keep people employed. This is not the first or last time this has happened, and it's going to be more frequent as technology advances.
The way I rationalize my use of Github to myself is by framing it as me stealing free compute and storage from the evil Microsoft.
Interesting. Does the rclone versioning not work as described? I fortunately have never had a reason to test it.

> When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a new version of it. Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will be marked hidden and still be available. Conversely, you may opt in to a "hard delete" of files with the --b2-hard-delete flag which would permanently remove the file instead of hiding it.

Intel could have (and has) funded building fabs themselves, but if we are advocating for a free market solution, why would they build it in the US vs somewhere cheaper? Forcing their hand to do it inside the US does not seem like a fair free market solution either. There has to be either a carrot (subsidy), or a stick (tarriffs and embargoes) to nudge them to bring it back home; neither is a clean free-market solution. The additional money is to bridge the gap and cover the unfavorable conditions for conducting the business in the US.
