Another reason for these kind of moves is to shed workforce without going through layoffs.

For legal purposes, this sort of move is treated as a layoff by nearly every state, so that's clearly not a driver behind the move.

It's usually one of 2 things: tax incentives that make the move cost-effective over a 3-7 year window, or the CEO has moved to the new state and is dragging HQ along with him.The second is actually more common than the first. Tax incentives are fairly stringent and most companies fail to satisfy the requirements to receive the full incentives offered, so moving states for purely tax reasons is uncommon these days. Additionally, most of the so-called "business friendly" states are actually more burdensome and onerous than so-called "business hostile" states. Alabama, for example, has 7 different taxes on businesses that usually end up costing businesses more than the 1 or 2 taxes that the same business would face in California. Florida and Texas will openly attempt to inflict economic damage on companies with different ideologies from their governors.

In this case, the Texas Governor is remarkably anti-business (unless it's oil), and Oracle is probably moving to a state less hostile to business.

Starlink is a replacement for dial-up, satellite, and in some cases legacy DSL- pretty much nothing else.
How much is the cost of making all those Quests, and how much does Meta make in a year? It's weird they aren't giving them away for free, or at least with a cheap subscription plan. Seems very short sighted, maybe Apple is paying them to avoid Vision's demise.
Until Starlink can lower prices to < $10/month, community-level ISPs will still be relevant to many locations (LatAm, etc). Starlink uplinks might even be used by the ISPs.

I lived in a village in Colombia, population about 2000, which had four competing wireless ISPs. The quality was extremely low, but so were the prices.

If it opens up the Horizon OS in Android level, it'll cost them massively as pointed out in the tweet. Android could've been much-much-much simpler if it were only for Pixel.

I think people at Meta are aware of that and the Horizon-compatible devices will be less diverse than the ones from the Android ecosystem.
Undiscovered potential that will bring a new revenue stream, shooting our margins to the sky, growth forever, etc. etc

That's all of it, and as long as you trust he's worked out the details, the trick works.

If you sit down and start thinking about it though, you quickly realize it's utter nonsense.

In this case, the cost per operation will be much higher than if you do it at a datacenter for a long list of reasons I'm too bored to repeat (but if someone wants to know, ask me).

So talking breathlessly about how much compute sits idle and unused in all the Tesla cars is like this joke:

People aren’t going to shift an hour. When I’ve argued this with friends it seems to idea is wholly incomprehensible.

Standard time is what we should be on. Anything else makes it way too cold for kids in the morning in the winter, it’s better for our sleep cycles (especially teenagers), and it just makes sense as far as the sun’s position. If you want to go into work an hour early so the “sun is still up when I go home at night,” feel free.

If ISP's are the utility pipes, platforms are the water and control what flows through them.

The whole point of NN is to stop ISPs from "playing favorites" since they hold too much power over what we can access. But if you ignore the fact that a few big tech companies (which hold a MUCH bigger market share compared to comcast/other big ISPs) basically decide what gets seen and what gets hidden, it's the exact same problem in a different disguise.

To the working class who under Both Bush/Trump and Obama/Biden sent their kids to die in the war on terror and under both fund a destructive foreign policy that has led to incredible civillian deaths wordwide especially in the middle east, a "well one guy might make cleaner coal" is a cold comfort.

To the working class who labors under inflation with no guaranteed vacation or maternity or pension, its a cold comfort that the one guy "likes ice cream and is friendly." To the working class who can't buy a home, its a cold comfort that one guy has better diction and vocabulary than the other. To the working class that can't retire and will die at their desks, its a cold comfort that one guy said something nice about labor unions. To the working class who are watching the global south be exploited and the pollution there blowing upstream to the "clean EPA driven USA" its a cold comfort. To the working class who can't afford to have children, its a cold comfort that one guy has given lip service to LGBTQ issues.

etc, etc.

Neither can or will address the fundamental problems of capitalism that causes nearly all these issues. The working class will continue to suffer under any pro-capitalist leadership. One guy just has nicer window dressing than the other.

I'm not the parent - but Carmack has curated a history of being very wrong about VR and it's potential. Practically none of his predictions since joining Oculus/Meta have become reality - and probably never will.

He's at the stage of his life/career where he doesn't have to actually worry about a successful product. He's probably content to just hack on cool tech - regardless of outcome.

So, take his predictions for all things VR-related as wishful thinking. Maybe they'll become true, but probably not. He'll have a ton of fun either way.

The only major investment left would be computing infrastructures, but it's severely limited by supply. Even if Google wants to spend more money, simply there's no chips to buy.

Regional pricing means it's 500-560 USD up-front to buy the receiver. Then, 50-100 USD per month for the residential plan, which includes unlimited data.

That's not too bad. However, there's no speed listed. Third party reviews state 100/10 Mbps (up/down), which is not too bad considering the same site states a UK average of 75/15.

The vast majority of the UK has pretty slow speeds.

That said, unlimited internet subscriptions over fiber can be had for as little as 20 USD per month, which is far cheaper.

It's not reassuring to say that these lanes only work when they cover the entire city. If they start with a smaller bike-friendly part of town and it actually works, people will want to move there or expand it.

Unless you depend on the results of partial execution to decide how to execute the rest of the script, this seems like the most natural solution.
There won't be revenue stream for other owners or Tesla from this, because computing this way is far less efficient than simply doing it locally in a datacenter, with high speed interconnects between machines.

Meaning if he sells that at profit, no one would buy it. And if he uses it himself, he'd be losing money rather than buying time in a datacenter or setting up one on their own.

A 10% success chance seems incredibly effective. I would have estimated the chances quite a bit lower.

Look, I'm not saying the Republican Party are Nazis. But let's just imagine they were. Would we still have to believe they were good-faith actors just trying to improve their country?

I do not believe the majority of Republican politicians today are trying to improve the country. I think the majority are self-serving, self-interested, and corrupt. This isn't the party of George Bush—who I disagree with about virtually everything, but seemed genuinely interested in trying to do a good job. This is now the party of Donald Trump, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, James Comer, Ted Cruz, and so on. There is no equivalent to any of these characters on the left. There is no compromising with obviously bad-faith actors like this.

> as far as risk factors for lung cancer, second-hand smoking is one of the better known.

The risk is real and measurable, but to put that in perspective: the CDC summary says it increases risk by 20-30%, so 130% over baseline to take the higher number https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/secondhand-smoke/health.html

For smokers, the risk is 15-30 times baseline, so 3000% over baseline for the high end https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/basic_info/risk_factors.htm

The article indicates a 260% increased all-factor risk for never-smoking Asian women, compared to White women. There has to be more going on than just second-hand smoke exposure.
I agree, in the old days the barrier to access to porn and getting games installed and working inspired a lot of people to get into tech. Maybe when people have to work a little harder to get access to the media they want it will lead to a new generation of tech savvy folks and another wave of innovation.
Cool project. It reminds me of a theoretical issue. As the project page says, this system is clearly Turing equivalent. Since it runs software, it even implements a _universal_ Turing machine. But the design uses only (synchronic) sequential logic [1] and Wikipedia seems to suggest that automata theory considers sequential logic only equivalent to finite state machines. Not Turing machines. Isn't that clearly a major bug in automata theory?

My guess is that automata theory consideres it critically important that a "Turing machine" has an infinite tape, while intuitively it instead seems relevant that it has something like a tape at all, some sort of random access memory, even if it is finite. I think such a memory system can't be implemented with classical finite state machines, at least not with comparable time complexity for read and write, but can be realized with sequential logic.

I encountered the secret update problem too. I have a secret rotation playbook that stops the Docker services stack, removes the secrets, recreates under the same name, and restarts the Docker services stack. The community.docker Ansible module does all the lifting there.

How Will Cryptography Survive the Rise of Quantum Computing? (2019) [video]
Btw, if you’re talking about models being launched in 2032 or later, then those will almost certainly be very niche models that will have very limited sales.

I made a projection of EV sales in Norway back in 2017, assuming that the growth will follow a logistics curve (S-curve) that most technology transition follows. The sales have tracked that projection almost perfectly ever since.

I crunched the numbers for world EV sales. With a conservative assumption that puts several of the preceding years above the projection curve. This actually gives very similar parameters for the curve as for Norway, but with a time offset of about 7 years. The projection predicts that EV sales will hit 85% market share by 2030.
The poor state of democracy in the US is not a one-party problem, it's a two-party problem. My proof is the fact that each party holds almost exactly 50% of the mindshare of the US. As far as I can tell, this was achieved through gerrymandering, one party automatically and consistency taking the opposite view of a contentious issue the moment the other adopts any particular stance, and backroom deals among congress and senate members ("You support my bill for X," spin it to your constituents as good for them, and I'll do the same for your bill Y.")

Neither party wins elections based on which candidates are more suited to the job, they win based on who can out-trash-talk the other side. If this was not true, negative campaign ads would not be the main form of advertising during election season.

I predict that if one of the parties fails and dissolves due to severe missteps, there will be a period of severe democratic instability, followed by a split of the surviving party into two major factions, each of which settles out at around exactly 50% of voter mindshare again.
Nope! That's called doing your job with the tools you've been given.

Wile Tennessee does not have a corporate income tax, it does have "business taxes" that are the same thing. And they also let counties and cities impose their own "business taxes" on companies. And these combined business taxes end up being more costly and time-consuming to businesses than a single state income tax return would have been.

Property taxes are lower.
TN has an average property tax rate of 0.9x%. Los Angeles County has an average property tax rate of 0.5x% (i.e., nearly half). Property taxes in LA are only higher on an absolute basis because the property subject to tax is worth more.

> Don't give things away

That's exactly the point I was making. My whole point was: DO NOT just give things away. That's just irrational. It brings you no profit and doesn't actually create long lasting wealth and freedom in the form of copyleft software. All it does is enable your exploitation. All it does is enrich billionaire corporations who are free to take the work of others, use it to make a killing and then laugh all the way to the bank at the suckers who made it all possible for free.

Don't just give your code away for free. Either make it proprietary all rights reserved, or make it AGPLv3. Those are the two choices. Maximum profit or maximum freedom. Either they pay you lots of money, or they adhere to the full set of conditions spelled out by the AGPLv3.

Don't just give your stuff away. Attach lots of strings to it. Strings that force others to benefit you in return for your generosity. Either by paying you lots of money or by being equally generous to you in return.

Don't just give software away. That was the point.

There is exactly one scenario where "permissive" licensing makes sense: a world without copyright. In other words, a world without licensing at all. They can copy your software and you can copy theirs. Until such a day comes that copyright is abolished though, "permissive" licensing is just nonsense, it just gives away all your leverage.
