If I search for how old Taylor Swift is, is a clickbait website entitled to the revenue from my visit? If I'm searching for an objective fact, nobody owns that knowledge. Arguably if I want an objective answer to a question and Google gives it to me, they're the ones who did the work in this case.

Love seeing the range here, from the worst bike I can think of actually riding (IRO hi-ten with heavy ass Velocity deep v’s) to probably my most aspirational frame (Merlin titanium).

Thinking back on the worst bike I ever owned right now, a jacked up, semi-frontalled cro-mo Bianchi Pista that I bought off a handsome firefighter in the Bronx. This shit had cruiser bars flipped like a reverse bullhorn when I picked it up, crazy. When I locked the cranks on it I could feel the whole frame flex. I seriously was never worried that anything would ever happen to it… as close to a no-lock bike I ever had.
I disagree with your basic premise that the singularity or end is near.

In the 1970s and 1980s, it was communism and nuclear war that were going to end the world. We were near certaint on those eventualities. In the 1990s, it was environmental disaster. In 2020 and 2021, it was the pandemic. And now it seems back to environmental disaster again -- I can't even keep up with the oft-parroted line that humans will extinct themselves by 2100. It could happen, who knows, but probably will not.

All the of the above worries are legitimate challenges we should be concerned about. We will have countless challenges and black swan events. The problem with these predictions is that humans (well, sapiens, anyway) always seem to find a way to survive through them.

Does it mean we won't extinct ourselves? No. But, through the past tens of thousands of years, the odds have been in our favor.

And screaming that the sky is falling only serves to work against the cause, leaving your opponents and those on the fence untrusting and unconvinced when the prediction fails to arrive as described, at the allotted time.

Note that this is also how our own world works. Typical time scales of processes get faster as the length scales shorten. Somehow it feels inevitable for a dynamic multiscale structure.
One of those CPU instructions (or one class of them anyway) is called a jump. It allows you to move to a different instruction than the next one, including going backwards. There has always been reusability of already written code in digital computers. LOC was no more or less meaningful when code was written in assembly or machine language than it is today.

It only measures something loosely correlated with progress toward completion and only if you know what done looks like.

> In my experience McKinsey consultants prefer not to talk to lower-level minions

This is certainly not my experience. Sure, we might not be talking to every entry-level employee (we'll interview some of them if need be), but we definitely talk to all levels of managers. The normal meeting cadence is 2-3x "touchpoints" with working teams and one "steerco" (C-suite) meeting every 2 weeks to update them on progress. We usually get a team room on client site, so pretty much everybody is aware that we are there, and we are more than happy to have a coffee with you anytime. (If you ask and they say no, that is kind of a red flag IMO.)

It sounds like the projects you have seen would be CEO-level secrets regardless of McKinsey's involvement. But I personally never had a project on e.g., digitalization or AI that doesn't pull in the relevant non-C-suite stakeholders of the client.

> Why is the "tier" of your university important here?

I made the point just to provide a counterexample to the notion that consultants don't have technical depth. Of course this is not always true - we all operate outside of our expertise area at some point; I had to learn the steel industry from scratch in 2 weeks for a client - but I just wanted to show that some of us do bring considerable technical expertise, not an MBA.
France is on the hook -- along with the rest of the EU -- for having a similar anti-circumvention law to the US (which is part of a treaty that the US pushed forward), but apparently hasn't implemented one yet? I hadn't realized this (I thought everyone had long ago put in place similar laws) and am excited to have found a good reference on the status for various countries.

> The money was "created out of thin air" is the loaning bank's debt to the account the borrowed money is assigned to, not the bank's asset, so there's a very real cost to them if the borrower defaults and stops repaying them. Banks can become bankrupt, just like any other business, and no, they can't "print" their way out of it.

I think the confusion is down to the fact that I'm looking at the central banking system as a whole, rather than individual banks. You're not looking at the bigger picture.

The point I'm making is that when the loan is made, fresh money is handed to the debtor, at no cost to the banking system (they simply change some electronic digits) and so if it isn't repaid, the banking system is no worse off than it was before. This is something you're blind to. Sometimes it's difficult to see the wood for the trees.

This is the fundamental problem with Keynesian economics as we know it - for all the talk of elasticity of money, human nature determines that the elasticity only goes one way - expansion. The system is incentivised to keep increasing total debt (because of interest payments on money it doesn't really own) and because it doesn't have to work for the money it lends out, it can hold interest rates below the free-market rate, ensuring it has a monopoly on the money lending..

>I'm also chuckling away at you complaining that the current system means mortgages take too long to pay off a sentence after complaining that people who get into debt are rewarded!

The two are not contradictory.
They are punished with a long mortgage, but are still better off than the poor folk who try to save up for house instead and have the value of their savings stolen while they try.

There is more Free Software produced today than ever before, even if some firms are deciding they no longer want to produce it. There are far more who are continuing to add to the commons of public software unnoticed; those who publicly quit get far more attention.

I’m all about increasing the private provision of public goods. I don’t think that licenses that give firms exclusive rights to monetize the goods they produce advances that goal. That’s just the status quo of firms being landlords of their intellectual property, extracting rents from others who want to enjoy them. That’s just proprietary software, which is clearly a useful thing for society to have.

The thing that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth is when you apply your resources to produce common goods, and then one party declares that you are somehow a “bad actor” while changing the terms to enclose the goods and exclude you from enjoying that common good.

Luckily with FOSS, those who are excluded can move their efforts elsewhere. But the future goods will not be the same. And I think that’s a shame.

Well... if we wrap around without meddling with time, it will be impossible. On the lowest level cells are switching much more frequently than on the highest level.

But if we allow ourselves to bend time, then probably... It would be like you zoom out and go back in time. My guess it is possible, but I still cannot wrap my head around infinite spatial dimensions of the field. We need infinity for that because without it will hit the problem of different cell count on the lowest level and the highest (which are represent the same sequences of states of GoL). I see no possible problems to buils such a "torus" but to be sure one needs to really prove it.
I just watched the first video thus far and wow. Thank you for sharing! I thought maybe competing in something like this would be only for people in their 20's 30's because I am getting older, but I heard other people are in their 40's.

This inspired me to do something more competitive than just run on a treadmill every other day. Reminds me of high school cross country running a little.

Crypto is a mixed bag.

Deep down I fundamentally believe it's a solution searching for a problem. That said, if people want to put money into it, who am I to judge.

That said, IMO crypto as a growth story is largely done. Now that Coinbase has IPOed and the industry consolidated or wiped out (eg. Kraken, FTX, OpenSea), it's not as attractive an industry anymore unless some actual fundamental problems are found that can't be remediated by existing financial infrastructure (legal and illegal).

Sure, and on many systems there are platform-specific ways of terminating the process. However:

- Executing static destructors without crashing is the ideal result.

- On Mac, there are factors that make the thread-termination approach preferable, such as using cross-platform libraries or a framework like Qt.

- On iOS, none of these apply, as process termination is out of your hands.

Does ChatGPT which is what the op was comparing to?

I've been using both ChatGPT and Gemini (both the paid versions), more and more. My habit is to go search on Google, get frustrated I can't get a relevant result. As Gemini or ChatGPT and 2 of 3 times, get a useful answer.

At some point my habit will likely change to ChatGPT/Gemini first.

Like the OP. I type something cryptic (like keywords) into Google search vs typing 1 to 3 sentences into Gemini/ChatGPT. I should try typing the entire thing into Google search.

Interestingly this reminds me of stack overflow. Their search is legendarily bad but I'd often go start a new question, add tags, start typing my question in detail, and, in it's recommendations based on the content of my long form question it would find the relevant existing answer.

"Where will streaming video go next? My guess is that media conglomerates with ties to communications companies will form a team-up. Comcast (NBCUniversal) and AT&T (Warner) may partner with Disney to take the lead on at least one unified streaming service"

It was a comment on the overengineering that is rampant in tech nowadays. What's with your attitude?
I have a nice Sony OLED TV, I have calibrated it with a hardware colorimeter, and I use MadVR ML upscaling to 4K for all my files. I have a ripped a lot of blu-ray discs (especially Dario Argento). Is there a quality issue, rather than censorship, to go beyond that?

Sadly, I suspect that pirate torrent sites will preserve a lot of this stuff better than the streaming owners of the IP. We are in kind of a golden age for quality transfers of niche films. Even if there are still significant gaps.

> Don't bother improving your product unless it results in visible changes the user can see, find, and hopefully appreciate.

I couldn't disagree more strongly. I can't think of the last time I encountered a UX change I thought was actually worth it. They're always bothersome, because now I notice the tool--it's no longer an extension of my mind and body, instead all of a sudden it's something getting in the way of my work.

I claim there are two reasons UX changes happen:

(1) Original design was delivered too hastily and was flawed, requiring breaking changes in the field to fix it.

(2) Someone wants to get promoted and thinks the best way to do that is to spin a "UX refresh" as something "successful" rather than the signal of abject failure it actually is. We should stop rewarding this behavior.
Matters a lot depending on what you're viewing it on. If you're watching something bad quality on a big 4K OLED panel, you'll be a lot more distracted compared to watching the same on a small smartphone display.

You know whats wrong, you price gouging me for 15 services that are all awful.

Unlike TV where channels compete for eyeballs, unlike the theater where they only make money when you show up streaming services have perverse incentives.

What is the ideal streaming customer: one who pays, and never watches. The content only has to be good enough often enough to make you not want to unsub and resub. I have to suspect that these servcies are programing this way.

It explains why free + ads is a model for better content. You only get paid for what I watch... It means that 800 hours of shit content isnt worth having up, and you need to have better stuff.

Interest rates are absolutely a lever in the economy. It's not a coincidence that the instant the free-money ZIRP spigot was shut off, suddenly investors cared about profitability again and fat bloated tech firms started having layoffs for the first time in decades.
The quality of a blu-ray disc is usually a magnitude better than the best streaming service. And a 4K blu-ray is years ahead of what streaming platforms even dream of.

Oh cool! Thanks for the screenshot.
There are meaningful size and performance challenges to implementing post quantum crypto, but I don't think "oh no, HTTPS handshakes are 20% slower!" is something we should actually worry about.

The real worry is all of the small, secure, embedded devices that literally don't have enough memory or compute to run these algorithms at all. Even the state-of-the-art hardware-accelerated implementations of PQC use a ton of memory and a ton of silicon area, to the point where they're untenable for lower end devices.

My entire premise is:

1) A good manager needs to look at code to see what employees are actually doing. They can't just rely on the employees' verbal description.

2) One (correlated though not guaranteed) indicator that an engineer is struggling is when they are producing much less code than their peers or compared to any natural expectation of the role. Yes of course it's 100% that some bugs are super tricky and take a long time to find the magical one-liner fix. But statistically those are not common.

This is premised also on my belief that every engineer manager should be a very strong engineer themselves. This is common at most of the big tech companies.
