It tends to be something the market won't bear though. If people can't afford it, pricing it as high as you want tends to cause the market to collapse anyway, just from a different mechanism.

Some things simply don't work well when handled as a business model.

Fire departments that only show up for people paying their fire dues don't work at all. In practice, places that require you to pay for fire department help have the fire department show up anyway and they watch your house burn down while standing around to be on hand just in case it threatens to spread beyond the uncovered property.

Places where there is no police department and rich people all hire private security are also pretty dysfunctional socially.

Some things get provided as a public good by sane societies because other formats for addressing it simply don't work.
Nobody “wins” a civil war
Germany has changed the way it treats its neighbors and has become a trustworthy and reliable partner who seeks to solve disagreements through peaceful means. You don't see military parades under Swastikas, people voting Hitler their biggest hero, or German leaders threatening the rest of Europe that "the masters will be back" and discussing on TV how many million people in Poland should be exterminated - all of which is happening in Russia.
Everything I had seen said you’d only pay if they helped you land a programming job. It looks like more than a few people were surprised when the actual terms allowed them to collect a percentage of income from unrelated employment. I never went through the program, but I’ve seen more than enough marketing and promotion from it; these revelations are quite surprising to me.

i mostly agree, but having had piano and guitar lessons in school, and later having learned playing the irish drum on my own, i don't share that experience. maybe the teaching methods were wrong (i kind of felt the teacher expected everyone to just naturally pick up notes and play). i certainly wasn't able to just grip a chord and start playing it. that alone would have taken me hours of practice. so i never learned even just one chord on a guitar nor did i manage to get any useful sequence of notes out of a piano, whereas the drum i practically learned only from playing in live sessions, and not from practicing myself at home (although there was some of that too, but not much). all i needed was an ear for rhythm.

I work on cutting edge stuff involving LLMs for big tech. I’m paid well. My work has essentially no real-world utility as I define it - materially improving something important for at least one person in the real world.

Engineers like the ones you describe have more positive impact on the world in one day than I have had in the several years that I’ve been doing this.

I often dream about leaving big tech entirely and working solely on legacy software in an overlooked but important domain.

I guess the grass is always greener and all that.
Whenever an old device is supposed to be unsuitable for doing something it usually feels great to use it for just that, proving it's well capable or even better.

This probably is a psychological disorder (usually mild and fun to have though) - an opposite counterpart of obsession with being among the first to buy the newest model of the most popular gadget. Both give a sense of superiority :-)

Civilians aren’t dogfighting. I’m with you for ground-based robots, or anti-personnel drones.
I disagree. Having a single wheel has the benefit of maximizing traction. With multiple wheel vehicles, if you apply the brakes to some wheels and not others, the tires lose traction. This is because those tires don't have enough normal force (weight) pushing them into the ground. I know my car only applies brakes to the front wheels. Any all-wheel-braking vehicle like a unicycle can beat my car to a stop, for that reason alone. It takes a sporty rider to be good at hard braking on EUC but I've seen them stop extremely fast. Especially some of the riders who race around manhattan. They have a handle on their EUC, and throw their entire weight behind the wheel in a crouch, like a cowboy bucking a bull. Their center of gravity gets near the ground. The motors on their wheels are extremely powerful, 10kW or more in either direction. It takes a skilled rider though. The main danger of super hard braking in the EUC community is the notorious "death wobble" that amateur riders sometimes get, where it starts oscillating right and left the harder you brake. Good riders grip things stiff enough to not have that issue though.

> 100,000 drones at once

This is already theoretically possible with multiple teams using current technology. Intel has been doing these drone light shows for a while now, and here's a video from 2 years ago with only 1000 drones.

I wonder if the person cuing the launch at the beginning of the video understands what "drop[ping] the hammer" is a reference to. Maybe this is a case of unintentional Chekhov's gun?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov's_gun

There's a whole playlist of these on Intel's YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAlVweZ4dqQ&list=PLk2sjg_-F-...

Even more Intel drone videos:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk2sjg_-F-MftRXx0mAnA...

Oh yeah, they also have another video, where they break their own record for their Guinness world record show with 2018 drones. That's the number of drones and the year they did it in. That's already 5 years+ ago. They let slip that their drone coordination software was literally designed to control "limitless amount of drones" and it's only using a single PC for coordination.

I agree with everything you've said, in case it wasn't clear.

But that's a silly example, because proving net-harm from industrial uses across from residential is easy. Proving net-harm from denser residential is generally an exercise in NIMBY-ism that slides very smoothly into classism and racism about who would live in those denser units.

Residents coming together to decide on rules by which they are governed can get us public lynching too. It doesn't mean it's good governance.
Indeed. Let the people who want to cooperate, cooperate; let those who want to defect, defect. Different people can choose their own solution.

Pushing salary lowers help the society at large, or at least that’s the thesis of OP. While it sucks for SWE, I actually kind of agree. The skyrocketing of SWE salary in the US, and the slow progress US is making towards normalizing/reducing it does not help US competitiveness. I would not fault Meta for this though, as much as US society at large.

SWE should enjoy it while they can before salary becomes similar to other engineering trades.
> and a Principal (?) of some LLC

That just means the owner of a single-member LLC, or sometimes the largest stakeholder for a multi-member LLC. It's not an unusual title for an LLC.

From reading her LinkedIn, it sounds like she's doing consulting and advising under an LLC instead of as an unincorporated sole proprietor. Again, really nothing unusual there, especially for the leader of a nonprofit.
What is your point to your comment? Florida is absolutely not the same Florida as it was in 90s or early 2000s. The state has drastically changed for the worse. I lived there for 30 years, I'm intimately involved with the local political scene. My neighbors were game wardens and licensed arborists.

It's been known that agriculture runoff worsens red tide. Red tide is something that would happen a couple times a century, now it happens yearly; this is absolutely due to the terrible environmental regulations in FL. These polluters have massive ties to the state legislature, which is why they are never punished:

https://phys.org/news/2018-09-red-tide-natural-scientists-co...

What about the private sugar companies draining and polluting the Everglades? Why are they never fined appropriate amounts for ruining an important part of Florida's ecosystem?

Or by environmental laws do you mean NIMBYs that just abuse the court system because someone saw a barred owl in a tree? I should know, my neighbor prevented an entire subdivision from being built in "their" backyard for 5 years.

This is a state that is now hijacked by a political class that cares more about national ambitions than helping their citizens. Do you honestly think the current Florida legislature would have passed something like Bright Futures in todays climate?

Florida use to heavily invest in education and environmentalism, even with republican governance, now it's just another national political campaign with politicians that care more about grander ambitions while rallying the national political party with identity politics?

edit: so readers will be aware of how bad Florida has become, this state has voted for high speed rail since 2000 and when the money was about to be granted and secured by Obama and Crist. Then shortly after Rick Scott was elected he rejected the project and government grants because his party wanted to give a lost to Obama.

Something the voters have wanted for over a decade, that was literally enshrined into the state constitution, and was torpedoed every instant because the party that didn't want it to happened wasn't happy with the democratic process.

This state is also big on scamming but that can deserve its own large, and separate, thread

I'm of the opinion that there's a reason why a subset (myself included) of people who when initially exposed to infinitesimals, and specifically the part where you start just disregarding terms, reject them (it's one of the oldest arguments related to calculus! [0]). Those geometric arguments are essentially less rigorous versions of limits! And that lack of rigor hurts those arguments until you have a rigorous justification for them (that didn't appear until the 1960's if my memory is right).

I've come around to infinitesimals, but mostly through exposure to the large hyper-reals. (for context for someone who doesn't know, the idea is to define a number, k which is greater than all real numbers. If you take 1/k, you have a very small number and you can fit an infinite number of 1/k's between 0 and the "next" real number. This concept is what sold me on infinitesimals.)

This is actually not a bad way to go. Understanding which is then followed by rote memorization of basic identities and formulas frees up your brain to focus on higher level concepts. Like the tennis amateur who didn’t make pro because they never bothered to drill on the fundamentals, many people get bogged down in higher level math and physics courses because they’ve long lost or never developed a fluency with the basics needed to derive and understand the advanced concepts.
It has been known for decades that agriculture runoff increases the intensity and duration of red tide.

That was true 10-20 years ago.

Today, you're often still the product even if you're paying.
The media is actually fueling the vocal minority. If they weren't reported on, they would just be yet another fringe group.
You say the genuine motivation would be:
"I acknowledge my flaws and I'm willing to put in the effort to change myself for the benefit of my wife"

But... How do I know which actions will "benefit" my wife? I argue that one of the best ways to know is to ask myself: "Will this action make her feel positively about me?". That way, I'm not going to do things that are important to me but not her, or that I think she SHOULD appreciate but she doesn't actually care about, or whatever.

Of course, to answer that question accurately requires plenty of listening, understanding and empathy.

In the past, I thought more like you. But I think it harmed me. Ultimately I came to the conclusion that intentionally doing things so that other people like to be around you isn't "disingenuous", it's a wonderful thing to work towards!

I don't think its a great business plan. Its basically an online pawn shop, but the company has to take your stuff.

Warehouse space costs money unfortunately. Stuff that doesn't get sold, and its probably going >90% of items, has effectively negative value for the company, and then you add on transport fees.

People overestimate how much their stuff is worth. Take furniture. Since it costs > $1000 for decent pieces, people think they can resell it. Except in certain rare circumstances, used furniture is effectively worthless, even negative value when you take into account you have to pay people to haul it away, like I did a few times when I moved. Even though THEY would never buy used furniture, they always think "someone" will. And it goes the same for alot of used electronics. Cars seem to be the exception, but there's already goodish solutiosn for those CarMaxx, etc.

How is this any fault of “society’s” beyond the requirement that you must live in or close to certain cities/areas to make “good money” in any non-law/non-medical profession?

Looks like something went wrong with your cut-and-paste:

>Let us think of x as a quantity that can grow by a small amount so as to become x+dx, where dx is the small increment added by growth. The square of this is x²+2x⋅dx+(dx)². The second term is not negligible because it is a first-order quantity; while the third term is of the second order of smallness, being a bit of, a bit of x².

The Inadvertent Insider: A Target of Opportunity
The bin packing will probably make it slower though, especially in the bool case since it will create dependency chains.
For bools on x64, I don‘t think there‘s a better way than first having to get them in a register, shift them and then OR them into the result. The simple way creates a dependency chain of length 64 (which should also incur a 64 cycle penalty) but you might be able to do 6 (more like 12 realistically) cycles.
But then again, where do these 64 bools come from? There aren‘t that many registers so you will have to reload them from the stack.
Maybe the rust ABI already packs bools in structs this tightly so it‘s work that has to be done anyway but I don‘t know too much about it.

And then the caller will have to unpack everything again.
It might be easier to just teach the compiler to spill values into the result space on the stack (in cases the IR doesn‘t already store the result after the computation) which will likely also perform better.
thank you tons. this is a great start and I'm gonna use these for learning :)
