I agree that it wouldn't be catastrophic, but we just saw a semiconductor shortage during COVID. For a lot of us end-users, that mainly meant that we couldn't get a Raspberry Pi, but it did affect some industries where a lot of Micro-controllers (including simple 8-bit AVRs) and even stuff like ADC/DACs weren't available at all or only for way jacked up prices for a while. I think the automotive industry also suffered from that despite all their money because they couldn't just swing a magic wand to make a chip foundry appear in their backyard.

But in the end, everything was fine because as you say, eventually everyone is going to move.
LSD doesn't show up on piss test.

It's somewhat unique in that.

Something to keep in mind.
While I agree with that, a general CPU benchmark would still be of use to compare different VCPUs.

More use than what we have right now, which is only Amazon’s marketing claims.

As an example, a t4g.nano, a t3.medium, a c6a.large and an r6i.large all have 2 VCPUs. Is the CPU performance exactly the same between all of them? Of course not.

We need -a- number to compare these all against. Even if it’s not perfect, it’ll be better than nothing.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for ages, just run a benchmark of some sort on a ton of different instances across clouds and publish that info. It really would be useful.
The article talks a lot about async/await but fails to clearly state the main advantage of async code over threads. Async code in general (not only in Rust) allows a server to process thousands of client connections concurrently with minimal latency in a single thread. Even if each client request needs several seconds to process it (assuming the processing is IO-bound). One thread (or more generally, a small number of threads) is much cheaper resource-wise than thousands of threads (in a thread per client scenario).

> Unless you are trying to treat some other illness it isn’t worth the risk until we better understand the mechanisms behind why psychedelics can trigger mental disorders.

Speak for yourself. Risk tolerance is highly subjective.

It's true that a small percentage of individuals who try psychedelics will develop otherwise unexplained mental illness. It's also true that a small percentage of individuals who try skydiving will break their legs and that a small percentage of individuals who try scuba diving will drown. However, ultimately, it's up to individuals to decide for themselves whether it's worth bearing such risks for the sake of experiencing something new and exciting.

Personally, I'd recommend that healthy people try all three of those activities. Life's short, after all, and you're more likely to get hurt in a car accident on your way there than you are to suffer injury from any of those particular activities in and of themselves. In every endeavor, it's up to you to do your own research and make as rational and informed a decision as you can given the available evidence.
See perhaps:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_transmission_mechanis...

Cullen Roche is always worth checking out:

> Monetary Policy is the various set of policies initiated by the Central Bank to try to stimulate or slow the economy. This typically includes changing interest rates, altering the size of the balance sheet and communicating via “open mouth policy”. The transmission mechanism of these policies are controversial and the goal of this post is to add some clarity to the ways in which this works.

It should also be asked "working at doing what, exactly?". If you have an hot economy because of a lot of demand because of easy credit creation, then clamping down on credit creation can help in slowing things down:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand-pull_inflation

If however you have (e.g.) a geopolitical event that causes (say) a spike in food and energy prices, then that's not really an issue that is largely controlled through credit creation:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost-push_inflation

Then there are other scenarios, like sudden changes in consumer behaviours that cause problems:

* https://www.frbsf.org/research-and-insights/publications/eco...

Some of these things monetary policy can deal with better than others, but a lot of folks expect monetary to do something (anything!), and if it doesn't make an attempt than there's all sort of other drama.
It's kind of like peak oil. It's the price, not the amount. So 'peak oil' isn't completely wrong, it's just complicated.

> IMHO, it doesn't make sense to have concurrency within an actor, other than maybe instruction level concurrency

I think it makes sense to have that, including managing the communication with other actors. Things like "I'll send the message, and if I don't hear back within x minutes, I'll send this other message".

Actors are very powerful and a great tool to have at your disposal, but often they are too powerful for the job and then it can be better to fall back to a more "low level" or "local" type of concurrency management.

At least that's how I feel. In my opinion you need both, and while you can get the job done with just one of them (or even none), it's far from being optimal.

Also, what you mention about NIFs is good for a very specific usecase (high performance / parallelism) but concurrency has a broader scope.
If it is a constant issue where dedicated employees feel burnt out, then of course it is his business. I don't think the solution is to find less engaged people to work. It's not just about the employees, it is also about the general work and the value the team will bring. Maybe hiring low effort people will solve the problem, but then again so will no employees at all as well I suppose.

As a manager, you should work towards keeping people engaged, doing good work, while making sure they don't burn out.

If people are on the brink of burn out, it's not a "it's their own fault for caring about their work." It's because they're trying to do their actual jobs and care enough about the results.

I find this trend where we're just blaming people that burn out for caring about the work they do interesting, what's the end result? Just a bunch of people playing politics and laying around waiting for the day to end?

I rather work with someone that cares and does a good job but just needs a break, give them support so they can do their jobs, rather than force them to quit 'because they're a pain in the ass' for giving a shit.
DMT is related to LSD (they're both tryptamines). I think DMT made them hallucinate those things which is why they talk "as if they are real" - that's something they felt like they genuinely experienced, which is what made it so traumatic.

No, I am just exploring the possibilities. I thought getting multiple persons positions from a live video stream was a sort of bread and butter problem of computer vision and my (even in hindsight not unreasonable) expectation was that there would probably be enough existing solutions out there.

It is very bad doing analysis of Germany between 1950 - 1990 as there was no unified economic but just two states. The Eastern German communist economy was just very inefficient, very energy hungry (and thus it failed 1989). So this trend isnt not bad.
I would add that it's not necessarily just self-reflection, but also reflection on other people around you, and on the world in general. This kind of stuff can also go places that, while more accurate than one's original perception, are not necessarily what one might like. And unlike negative personal patterns, this might not be something you can do anything about (the world stuff in particular). I still consider that valuable experience in its own right, but then I was never a proponent of "the less you know, the more soundly you sleep". Others may have a different subjective preference on that.

As far as "messianic" stuff, I think it comes mostly from heightened empathy, which appears to be a fairly universal thing during a trip (even if it doesn't necessarily stick after).

It's because just terminating a goroutine isn't safe with respect to I/O and defer chains.

I think Go has the internal plumbing to theoretically support this, though it might require inserting checks more often. Another way would be to make contexts first-class and automatically insert context checks even when not done (e.g. selects). And also all I/O has to be cancellable.

I suspect Go's designers prefers the current way in which cancellation is explicit.
Any idea why there is such a discrete separation between the near-polar orbits and the 53-degree orbits? Naively I would have thought that there would be several classes orbits with degrees ranging from ~0 to ~90, with the number in each chosen so that coverage roughly matched the subscriber distribution.

But, the existence of a 3rd party app store, with "zero cost" to developers apparently, would almost certainly force someone in need of an app for some purpose to use this app store.

If I have a tool, lets say I buy a 'doorbell' camera. Right now, the "app" must be curated and qualified and verified clear of defects, malware, etc by App store policy and review. (not that they are 100%, but it's a pretty decent process).

When a 'free app store' shows up, then this same doorbell camera company will just pop their app, which will become a much shittier version of what would have been available, into some shitty app store, and, not bother to make a better version.

What will happen, in practice, is that there will be some percentage of apps that become shittier and only available from the shitty 3rd party store, and not the curated (and not free) app store.

So, no, it won't be a simple matter of just "don't use that store", there will be more factors at play.
It doesn’t sound like this would cause any short term pain really, just make it harder to spin up new capacity.
Good idea on communicating ROI this way. I have not though about it.
As for casual bloggers, there is a "free" version. But message me through the chat on Linkz.ai, I'll do a special plan for casual HN bloggers :)
The fine initially would be up to 10% of the revenue. I don't see how that is outrageous if the violation of the law is there. The actual fine could be lower, but on the other side, the fine needs to be high enough that it can force the fined company to stop breaking the law.
I mean, there were also children playing in the hydrofluoric acid spill.

- "Tuesday, moms Katrina Benfield and Nikki Bennett returned to the river with their children. They said they had all been swimming in the North Toe about 4 p.m. when they began to see dead fish float around them and wash ashore."

- ""I'm not happy at all," Benfield said. "I had my children in here. They fish, we eat the fish.""

- "Bennett said everyone got out of the water as soon as they saw the dead fish."

- ""My daughter actually picked one up and said the scales looked like they had been burnt," she said."

- "Cecilia McCool, 15, said her eyes began to sting and she began to feel light-headed while swimming in the river Sunday. Within 10 minutes, she said she began to see the fish floating and told friends and family to get out of the river."

We don't have to go that far back in time, European cities have loads of beautiful buildings still from early 1900s. For example whole neighborhoods of Jugendstil apartment buildings that mainly housed working class people moving to cities. New construction in these same neighborhoods simply do not match the beauty of the existing housing stock. And early 1900s housing is usually quite nice if it's been at least slightly renovated (double glazing etc).
> I am unsure about hubris, but I can totally see it as a "That does not align with our long-term strategy" and it getting rejected.

It's pretty hubristic to see that that law does not align with their long-term strategy, and then choose noncompliance with the law.
>next 18 months? Nah. 5 years? Probably. 10? Definitely. It's like Tesla, Tesla pioneered electric vehicles, but today it's not alone in the market, it's not even arguably the biggest player anymore.

PRC has multiple private space companies with reusable vehicles on the way, a few look like they can do Falcon9 capabilities in 3-5 years. And if they decide to hit the overcapacity brrrt button, I imagine all the current wanking over SpaceX launch capacity will look very premature. There's ~40 falcon 9s doing concurrent missions, that's really not much in grand scheme of things. About "American" scale. I imagine once PRC tech is passable they'll scale to point to eclipse aggregate spaceX payloads rapidly fast with their own mega constellations, and magnitude more (like ship building) if there's ACTUAL case for sustaining that level of space launch demand. Which I hope there is... outside of militarization efforts.
For me the test is: if possible, would an individual skip paying the ticket for a public transport if they know almost nobody will check?

> I would argue, the native american tribes, who also did eat their dogs, treated them better overall, than humanity does today on average. So many dogs bred for running around, are lucky today, if they get to walk around outside for more than 20 minutes. This I would call betrayal.

Do you relatively equate this to how we treat other animals right now, killing the planet's livable ecosystems while exclusively creating living spaces and amenities for these domestic pets and treating the nature they come from as second class? Tens to hundreds of thousands of unique species and subspecies go extinct at previously unrecorded rates, but selective breeding of vanity traits in pet animals remains a common past time. There's clearly an attachment to these animals and breeds that keeps them in our conscious above others to consider it worthwhile to hold them in public reverence in a way that can still be described as companionship.

We've flipped the needle on adapting them for survival companionship to (essentially) slaved ownership with the aftereffects like you've mentioned, but I think zooming in on the scale of an individual societies' treatment won't generally be favorable. We barely even treat our own species with a level of achievable compassion for anyone deemed undesirable or are a lower class, the betrayal starts earlier than our treatment towards dogs.
I disagree with the original essay comprehensively. async/await is less composable (threads automatically compose by their nature; it is so easy it is almost invisible), a tie on expressive (both thread advocates and async advocates play the same game here where they'll use a nice high-level abstraction on "their" side and compare it to raw use of the primitives on the other, both are perfectly capable of high-level libraries making the various use cases easy), and I would say async being more "correct" is generally not a claim that makes much sense to me either way. The correctness/incorrectness comes from things other than the runtime model.

Basically, async/await for historical reasons grew a lot of propaganda around how they "solved" problems with threads. But that is an accidental later post-hoc rationalization of their utility, which I consider for the most part just wrong. The real reason async-await took off is that it was the only solution for certain runtimes that couldn't handle threading. That's fine on its own terms, but is probably the definitive example of the dangers of taking a cost/benefit balance from one language and applying it to other languages without updating the costs and the benefits (gotta do both!). If I already have threads, the solution to their problems is to use the actor model, never take more than one mutex at a time, share memory by communicating instead of communicating by sharing memory, and on the higher effort end, Rust's lifetime annotations or immutable data. I would never have dreamed of trying to solve the problems with async/await.

"My voice is my passport, verify me"
There is a similar fallacy that I've seen many engineers & teams fall into. The occupy "critical" roles which without, the whole chain would break and everything would fall apart

However often times the project only needs that one critical role and can replace it fairly easily. (the on-ramp off-ramp costs are lower than the cost of redundancy or other political costs)

Ironically, "non-critical" roles can be more important from a business narrative or core competency pov.

E.g. "the AI expert/team" leaving breaks the narrative of being an AI company even if all they do is non-critical path exploratory research. The inability to get new hires breaks the narrative of a growth-company etc...

There is more leverage in being able to direct narrative energy than in being nominally critical
