Transitioning to "I know these are good ideas" to things you're doing in practice is much harder than reading, but can happen. Over time, I've come to look at reading these kinds of books like planting seeds. They give my brain ideas and concepts to chew on. Options to apply to situations.

I did wake up one day to the realization that I had up to this point not been willing to take the next steps and put insight into action. And when I realized that, it was like opening floodgates. I started doing the things I had learned about, and they started to change my life. But there is a pretty important and major milestone to make this transition.

I don't think it's necessary or helpful to frame this as a kind of horror. I think it's more helpful to just change how you see the act of reading books. True change still has to start from within. Books in this context are just toolboxes. Toolboxes don't build anything by themselves either.

From a realpolitik perspective, you have to ask what Spain has to gain from kicking up a fuss here. It’s not like any Spaniard is at risk here, nor does Spain promote itself as a major military power with the means and will of projecting power.

Compare this to the Salisbury poisonings, where a bunch of Brits got caught up, the target was an intelligence asset, and standing up to Russia plays very well with the electorate… there was a coordinated, significant, non-military response across several allies

Their entire stack on Linux is open-source. That part isn't a problem.
It definitely is a lot of Zeihan in there, but a lot of what he says is compelling. I don't necessarily buy the "pirates are coming" because the US abandons patrolling the high seas.

I think China can replace its demographic losses in the cities by pulling from the rural areas.

But... with the end of oil as a paramount geopolitical concern due to our domestic production and EVs/alt energy ... why would we keep 13 carrier groups around? WHy are we doing all this "free defense"? Why are we essentially allowing China to own our production and give them a massive technology transfer?

And China is definitely turning totalitarian and incompetent and there are real signs of distress coming out of the country.

Zeihan used to be mocked, but then we signed the chips-in-the-USA and batteries-in-the-USA and more "moving production to Mexico" stories in the news. So there is definitely some re-onshoring happening.

Zeihan also poo-poos alt energy and EVs, he doesn't seem to understand the economics of alt energy in LCOE terms or the recent developments in battery chemistry that free us from nickel/cobalt constraints.

Do you listen to anyone else interesting?
I'd argue that for most compression methods, not including the decompression program size will give you a better rough estimate.
I accidentally did that with Walmart.com once. My bill was $40, which qualified for free shipping. I checked out, and realized that I had ordered one of the items (about $20) to be picked up, which wasn't possible because there's no Walmarts near me. I quickly canceled that item, but the rest of the stuff shipped.

I kind of felt guilty, because I genuinely wasn't trying to game anything.

upscayl is very approachable, but lacked many features i needed. i ended up using https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui after upscaling became part of my regular workflow, but for someone who just needs a few images enhanced, it's an ideal tool.

People with Aphantasia don’t see images in mind, typically. The condition is technically that we don’t do willful visualizations and don’t usually see things in mind unless we dream or we are having hypnogogic visuals. That said, some self reported aphants say that they can visualize on psychedelics. Having talked to people about this for almost ten years it’s hard for visualizers to understand what it means to have a lack of what appears to be a common phenomenon.
Because of scale factor. LG, Philips and Samsung because of large scale production, selling screens really very cheap, much cheaper than could small scale factory.

Equipment to produce screens is not something from other world, they are not cheap but achievable for business, but on small scale will not be cheaper than priced LG or Philips screen, even without considering taxes and fees of marketplaces (could add 2x-8x of cost).

If some small factory will try to enter market, it will immediately become bankrupt, because nobody will buy more expensive than from LG or Philips.

Exist possible exceptions - some Industrial or Space or Military applications (or for example, Medical), where customer have very specific needs and could pay additional money for them.

> It already is, obviously. But how is SolidJS supposed to work with other non-SolidJS code?

Who actually writes code like this? People use some signal graph library for application code typically, I’ve never seen anyone mixing SolidJs with MobX in application code or as a consequence of a library dep.
Why does it need to be a part of the language? This could be a library. There are such libraries. They are small, so including them in your code is no big deal. Adding this to the language should not even be a goal.

Thinking that the current crop of JS UI libraries designed their signals in such a good way that it needs to become a part of the language is hubris. Signals have many possible implementations with different tradeoffs, and none of them deserve to have a special place in the JavaScript spec.

Before these libraries used signals, they or their predecessors used virtual DOM. Luckily, that didn't become part of JS, but how are signals any different? They aren't. The argument for making them standard is even worse than for virtual DOM.

Are we just going pile every fad into a runtime that basically has no way to dispose of no-longer-wanted features without breaking the web? That is quite short sighted.
Not sure if I get the point with this one, but what I know for sure is: as long as there are maintainers there will be open source as it is now. The "system" will only change when we stop having maintainers.

Exactly this. What OP sees is likely survivorship bias. Indians are the biggest population compared to China who have learnt English pretty much as a first language. It makes a big difference, especially for managerial positions in American companies.
NVidia is making boatloads of money because their driver works and they have a software library called CUDA that accelerates neural networks.

Nobody expects AMD to match them, but George thought they could at least write a GPU driver. If AMD can get that driver out, then George could provide a competitor to CUDA (for neutral networks only). They'd both make boatloads of money.

However, AMD was less capable than expected and their drivers were too buggy to run neural networks like those needed for the MLPerf benchmark. So now, it appears that AMD, Tinybox, and investors like me won't be making boatloads of money.
Yeah it ignores the age-old "shipping and handling" fees that infomercials used for decades to inflate the cost of goods. The early internet had tons of this stuff, and often it was kind of "surprise billing" where you bought something and cursed when you realized there was a 5$ fee on that 10$ widget.

Note that this is RAMPANT on eBay these days.

I remember some online store forum bragging about how much extra money you make with it. This was circa 1999-2001 era online shopping.

Free shipping means the price is the price you pay. It's a lot more transparent.

However, I can see how major retailers get to negotiate superior relationships with Fedex and UPS and USMail.
I have had multiple replies from Lisa Su on both Twitter and by e-mail. It doesn't help.

AMD is structurally incapable of fixing these issues. They don't even have a 7900XTX in CI. Crashing the firmware is so trivial there's no way anyone fuzzed anything.

They debug by the application, adding mitigations at many layers of the stack to make it work. While this strategy is fine for the 20 mainstream games that come out per year, unless you root cause issues and have a good CI, you'll never build a stable GPU for general compute.

No, this is a difference of almost 10 hours...

I'd say at this point all major tech companies, ISPs and authorities should have more enough information and disabling and freezing their accounts would be the first step.

Probably worth considering here - if this was a state-sponsored attack, it's entirely possible (and exactly what I would do if I was running such a program) that there is one person or department actually writing the code and list messages etc, and another person or team who sits between that department and the internet and whose entire job is to ensure that everything that comes out from the development team takes place at actual times and with timestamps that are consistent with whatever story they're using for the project. Possibly even once in a while intentionally inserting a "mistake" to hint to investigators that the person's real location is another chosen place, which is also different from the real place where the project is being run.
CEOs are selected by boards of companies. I’ll be surprised if majority boards are of Indian descent.
It’s important to accept that your startup can fail and it’s wise to calculate the cost.

Generally, founders would be better off (even in founding another company) getting the right logos and degrees on your CV. Consider very carefully if you are trading industry recognition on a moonshot. If the moonshot doesn’t pan out to at least an acquisition (which a new report found happens 0.5% of the time for funded startups), you’ve lost years and will find it tough to compete against your peers. It sucks and the options available to you are to join other struggling startups.

The one reason to do it is - it’s super fun. If you can learn & prove something simply by building it (whether it succeeds or not), that can be a solid reason to go for 12-18months at it.

My main advice would be to set milestones of risk and achievement, then schedule meetings as co-founders to review your decision. The thing that drives co-founders a part is often divergent perception of risk. It’s important to synthesize regularly and assess against where you could be.

Taking risks is worth demonstrating. Just don’t confuse it with demonstrating success.
Don’t forget the cost of handling!!!!

> If you actually read the article, the states are simply relaxing laws that were more strict than federal laws.

> Clearly the feds have set laws they feel are reasonble

I did read the article. Iowa now allows minors to work in roofing and industrial laundries. If it's true they're aligning with federal laws (doubtful) I'm going to go ahead and say that federal laws about children working in roofing are not currently reasonable, and that Iowa should not have done this if they gave two shits about children.

> if a child labor law said "Kids can't work at all", then it was changed to "Kids can work up to 10 hours per week", that would be weaking child labor laws

Is that what happened though? Be honest. What does the article say?
Did you reply to the wrong message? You are not the OP
“Necessary”? It’s so weird people think that the system “must” work like this, that there are no alternatives.

“All those kids had to go to work” - 5 families have more wealth than 50% of Americans combined, but somebody’s kid needs to work in a meat packing plant? The system doesn’t need to work like this.
Yes, that's what I mean as well: I don't really think this analysis is any near to be considered any conclusive. It's interesting. But this is it. From what I'm seeing, there really isn't very much data. The article makes it feel like there is this huge archive of commits, that draws a picture of a guy working almost every day on these projects with some very much visible gaps in time, but there really isn't. The data is quite scarce. I would need to actually do the analysis myself to decide what I'm willing to believe, and I don't think I want to do this right now. But for now, I don't think we really have anything.

…What I would really want is some input from Microsoft. I don't know what they can reveal, but I believe they must have quite a bit more data, than us. Even speaking about times, well, he must have been using Github more than to just commit stuff. And I'd imagine they have some logs. Also, it's very fair to assume than he was using VPN all the time, but it's also fair to assume that he wouldn't accidentally slip like that, revealing his real time zone in 9 commits. So, yeah, for sure there are people who have waay more data than me, and probably know how to use it properly better than me too. Not sure they will be willing to share, though.
Genuine question for you then, why are you investing your time reversing their firmware if it sounds like you think they're failing/will fail? Why not just "adopt" the golden child/golden standard NVIDIA now for your usecase, reverse that (if needed) and move on? Genuinely curious what you gain from trying to make AMD work/investing in AMD on your end here. Is it that you see a value proposition through the "muck" of crashy-kernels that I'm missing?

> Maybe verified identities an illusion, but sometimes these illusions is all that's needed to feel more relaxed.

Author almost realizes that they're asking for something that is at best a mirage and then bats away that thought[0]. But that's not something that you can casually dismiss near the end of your post, it's a crucial flaw in the whole idea! The comfort that you get from seeing "John Smith" as the contributor instead of "rand_user_43" is indeed an illusion; not only do you have no way of knowing that "John Smith" is their real name, even if you did demand to see their government ID, and even if that was forgery-proof and definitely identified them, they can still commit malicious code; the best hope is that you can impose after-the-fact consequences, but that's... really optimistic, especially as a deterrent.

[0] An alternative steel-man is that the author does grasp that they're pining after something that doesn't actually work but still argue for it, but that feels even less charitable so I'm going with the other interpretation.

I dunno about blanket statements like that. It's situational, and sometimes up to nature rather than nurture.

To outside observers, I was a fairly spoiled kid. I didn't have any jobs in high school, and I had a light load of chores. It's not that my parents were particularly wealthy, but I pushed back hard and was generally difficult with them, for the sake of preserving my study time, my free time, and getting a good night's sleep.

But it paid off. I got a scholarship, and went to a state university. Classes started a few days after I turned eighteen. I went out and got a part-time job immediately to pay for living expenses. I worked hard and did my job well, graduated, and landed a job that paid better than my parents.

From the get-go, I was a serious worker who put everything I had into the job while I was on the clock. I'm still that way today, and I find that people are either like that or they aren't. I find there's no correlation between the people who had jobs as teens and how serious, responsible, and industrious they are.
absolutely. You should/must separate transactional emails (account creations, password resets etc) from EDM (marketing emails).
This concept is like cold fusion. There's talk, there's a company doing this, research doing that, and then nothing. Companies disappear. Cycle repeats.

Until there's a production line, and actual vehicle orders this remains a cyclical news item with no real results behind it.
> it is almost impossible not to use any of those frameworks.

Agreed, but because it’s a lot easier to just search for “React programmer” these days than it is to evaluate lots of JavaScript candidates, which has a much wider scope and proficiency level and make sure they’ll fit right in when hired.

But not because direct DOM manipulation is not inherently scalable. See puter[1] for instance, a fairly complex, 100k+ lines of code of jQuery.

> Cpp2 isn't trying to be a successor language to C++

Herb is trying to sell it as not a successor because for now that suits him better.

Because C++ is a general purpose language Herb can deliver a "not a new feature" that is so elaborate in practice you would never write the equivalent C++ by hand, but Herb can insist that since technically it can still be transpiled to C++ it's not a different language... right up until that ceases to suit his agenda.

Under this model WUFFS (a higher performance yet entirely safe language for writing stuff like codecs and compression algorithms) doesn't "introduce any new functionality" compared to C, since the present WUFFS-the-language is transpiled into C. But I think C programmers would be astonished to hear that C is now apparently higher performance than C and is able to guarantee it's entirely safe...
