Yes, it is 2 dead out of 32 total [1].

We can ballpark these odds relatively easily. Dean was 45 and Barnett was 62. Let's assume they are somewhat representative of the average whistleblower and the average whistleblower is in average health. Let's use the standard government actuarial tables[2] and assume the average age is 56 just to make the math easier since the odds of a single 56 year old dying in a given year is roughly 1%. The odds of at least 1 of the 32 dying would be 28% and the odds of 2 dying would be 4%. Unlikely enough to be suspicious, but not unlikely enough to be anything close to the smoking gun that some are suggesting.

Just as a reminder, I'm not saying iOS should stay closed. Mobile computing platforms should be open and allow innovation.

However, we cannot simply force private companies to provide services that costs them money. They are also under no obligation to implement any other continuous communication system to devices on their platform. It is their platform, with good and bad.

Being free or open does not constitute that every valuable product or service Apple created are now in the public domain and nobody should be paying for them.

Paul Graham's article How to Get Startup Ideas [0] is this approach.

> The way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas. It's to look for problems, preferably problems you have yourself.

> The very best startup ideas tend to have three things in common: they're something the founders themselves want, that they themselves can build, and that few others realize are worth doing. Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook all began this way.

> Why is it so important to work on a problem you have? Among other things, it ensures the problem really exists. It sounds obvious to say you should only work on problems that exist. And yet by far the most common mistake startups make is to solve problems no one has.

His article Schlep Blindness [1] is good too.

> There are great startup ideas lying around unexploited right under our noses. One reason we don't see them is a phenomenon I call schlep blindness. Schlep was originally a Yiddish word but has passed into general use in the US. It means a tedious, unpleasant task.

> The most striking example I know of schlep blindness is Stripe, or rather Stripe's idea. For over a decade, every hacker who'd ever had to process payments online knew how painful the experience was. Thousands of people must have known about this problem. And yet when they started startups, they decided to build recipe sites, or aggregators for local events. Why? Why work on problems few care much about and no one will pay for, when you could fix one of the most important components of the world's infrastructure? Because schlep blindness prevented people from even considering the idea of fixing payments.

Was Freud really the first person to suggest talking to people about your problems can be therapeutic, or that the way you raise children affects them dramatically? As far as I am aware, the actual contents of the therapy he proposed, psychoanalysis, is complete bunk and no more effective than other forms of therapy.

I have a whole gripe with the "unconscious", unless all we mean by it is "past events affect who you are and affect your behavior" in which case I cant imagine Freud is the first person to have believed this.

> For example when is the last time my customers paid for Ruby, Python, Linux, PostgreSQL?

Well, those examples are cherry-picked; ergo, I present to you a picking my own cherries: Companies pay for MATLAB, Windows and MongoDB. I will concede this list not "very long". But length of lists shouldn't really matter here right? I mean, one example of MATLAB vs. Ruby/Python is good enough to make a point via counterexample.

The point I'm making is: It would be immensely unfair to expect developers to force MATLAB engineers to submit to whatever business model the devs want instead of the other way around. Companies that develop technologies own the right to price it however they please.

Competition in the free-market ensures companies do not employ price-gouging tactics.
I'm not using custom webfonts, just whatever your system has! The primary font stack is currently: `Charter, 'Bitstream Charter', 'Sitka Text', Cambria, serif;`

I'm not going to weigh in on the J&J issue, but that's a bad comparison. Asbestos can't do any harm if it doesn't get inside your body. Powdered asbestos (as would be found in talcum powder) can very easily do that, but asbestos bound up in building materials can't do that if left undisturbed. Most things that could disturb asbestos are planned in advance, and as long as the presence of asbestos is known it can be worked around, so asbestos in building materials is not particularly hazardous.
Traditionally, that has been the issue with wafer scale processors. Cerebras is supposedly selling these things to production customers for obscene pricing, probably offsetting the low yields. Who knows if it’s profitable though or still burning cash.
Plus, if Hamas actually does release the hostages, every country, including the US, would demand Israel back off. I don't think there's any doubt on that by anyone, not even Hamas (who seem pretty apt at predicting responses of the West in any case).

Hamas wants war. That's what they're getting paid for. Gaza is not really economically viable anyway, so this is the only way they're getting paid. Billions for a constant stream of dead Palestinians.

Did I ever say the U.S system is perfect? Do you think other countries have no problems? You people focusing on "people over profits" is literally communism, and is worthless. You're never going to get people to care about others beyond a superficial show of solidarity. That's why I said we need to align people's outcome to profit. Do you think that means an ancap healthcare system?

And nice comic. I completely agree that your attempts to change human psychology will fail.
That's actually sort of been a sort of a revolution with things like fast casual burgers and a lot of food in airports (at least those that serve upscale cities). A lot of people don't really want at least somewhat extended sitdown. They want fairly decent food that's served quickly.

> With so many people in a position to notice and speak out about Boeing's issues, it isn't terribly surprising that a few deaths have occurred.

Also, let's not kid ourselves, even if Boeing doesn't retaliate (and there is a lot of reason to think they have), being a whistleblower adds a tremendous amount of stress & disruption to your life. Whatever your life expectancy was before you were a whistleblower was, it's going to be lower (likely MUCH lower) afterwards. It's a terrible price to pay, which is why they deserve as much protection & support as possible.
The only question that matters as a citizen of any nation is, "How much does changing the status quo really matter to me as an individual?" If the answer is, 'not enough to go to prison or die' then the change will likely stay as it is, otherwise it will simply be subject to morphing into an amalgam of power broker sentiment.

There is a reason individualism and market segmentation work hand in hand to disempower everyone as very few issues have enough disruptive overlap in the populace to create a real powerbase to threaten the ruling class.
Not everyone's purpose is their job. The question is more "will you be active, interested, fed, fulfilled, if you stop working?" Even "busy" is not a requirement.
This is interesting. Groq (chip co, not twitter’s ‘Grok’ LLM) has a similar silicon scale, I’m not sure about architecture, though. One very interesting thing about Groq that I failed to appreciate when they were originally raising is that the architecture is deterministic.

Why is determinism good for inference? If you are clever, you can run computations distributed without waiting for sync. I can’t tell from their marketing materials, but it’s also possible they went for the gold ring and built something latch-free on the silicon side.

Groq seems to have been able to use their architecture to deliver some insanely high token/s numbers; groqchat is by far the fastest inference API I’ve seen.

All this to say that I’m curious what a Dojo architecture designed around training could do. Presuming training was a key use case in the arch design. Knowing the long game thinking at Tesla, I imagine it was.

I remember the feeling. I wore a 3M N95 mask into a Trader Joe's in the SF Bay Area mid-December 2019 and received gawks and offhand verbal insults (jeers). The nature of the threat was then unknown and epidemiological data later showed community spread was already occurring, so it seemed an entirely prudent precaution even in retrospect.

OTOH, people wearing masks outside now when no one else is around and without evidence to show COVID transmission can happen in these conditions, it must be a practice for non-medical reasons.

Best to apply good, individual judgment with precautions because some people with irrational tribal beliefs are intent on proving cigarettes or COVID "can't" kill them.
Sorry. What I meant to imply was, "Millennials don't have families [at a rate relative to preceding generations.]" Millennial families are less numerous and smaller.
As I've learned over time (and other people in these comments have clarified) it turns out that evaluating "quality" of Text To Speech is somewhat dependent on the domain in which the audio output is being used (obviously with overlaps), broadly:

* accessibility

* non-accessibility (e.g. voice interfaces; narration; voice over)

The qualities of the generated speech which are favoured may differ significantly between the two domains, e.g. AIUI non-accessibility focused TTS often prioritises "realism" & "naturalness" while more accessibility focussed TTS often prioritizes clarity at high words-per-minute speech rates (which often sounds distinctly non-"realistic").

And, AIUI espeak-ng has historically been more focused on the accessibility domain.

As a part-time working musician I also wonder about this because they aren’t very artist-friendly, either.

Their discovery-specific algos/UX are ok, but I think becoming the global de-facto music/audio-specific social network is their biggest moat. It’s been so tough to replicate that apple/google/amazon have yet to make much of a dent despite spotify’s actively hostile UX and practices.

Edited to add: Music generes and fandoms have always been tribes and spotify was the first to capitalize on that aspect of music culture. Other companies approached their products in a “building a “digital CD-vinyl collection” kinda way, but there are few network effects in that.

Johnson and Johnson is very explicit NOT amoral. They have guiding principles that basically put the needs of their customers first, then employees, communities, and finally shareholders. [1]

These old companies were founded in a society that had clear values, and many of those companies reflect those values. Even modern companies frequently have moral values, for instance, Zappos. As a society, though, we have jettisoned those old, constraining Christian/Protestant values, and the prevailing value, to the extent I can identify it, is a Marxist, everything is just the use power to oppress. If we take that as our value system, then that is what we'll become. So if you don't like companies living out that value, then it behooves you to promote the kind of values that benefit society and bring people together.

>Why do you bring up...unregulated drugs?

Because it illustrates the problems of scale. Much of commerce is regulated at the federal level because crossing state lines makes the complexity of the problem much harder to manage. UCC is not a very good example; it has barely changed in half a century, in part because getting all states to update and agree becomes onerous. As an effect, the UCC largely boils down to a contract law policy of "shut up, pay me." That type of approach isn't great for handling nuanced problems.

>Most countries are smaller than the US, and still manage to get safe drugs.

You do understand much of this is predicated on the very institutions you are maligning. A vast and disproportionate amount of pharma R&D is done in, and regulated by, the U.S. Other countries generally use that information as a proxy for in-house regulation. Ever wonder how small countries manage to regulate their aircraft without much overhead? It's because they accept the US FAA certifications. They effectively outsource the oversight to the US.

>I am suggesting that most likely employers and employees ain't idiots

If you review my comments, I'm don't think you'll find me using the word "idiot." What you will find is that I claim individuals act irrationally and also struggle to manage information when the complexity of society gets high.

>Sure, but that doesn't mean subsidising credentialism is the only way.

If you read carefully, I have not been an advocate for subsidizing education per se. What I am saying is we need to be careful of the blowback of simple solutions. If the intent is to increase education, subsizing it is one way, but it obviously has unintended consequences. Simply removing subsidies does not necessary fix the problem without creating second order problems of its own. I'm saying we need to be cognizant of that, and asked for solutions that effectively manage those consequences. Generally, those simple fixes like "remove subsidies" or "just give people money" belie a lack of nuanced understanding and risk creating more problems than they solve. Most of your perspective seems to be built on an overly simple model of human behavior that tends to break down on complex situations.

I'm a fan of bonds too, though think yields will go a bit higher from here.

A 12x AFFO multiple is not lower return than a 5% yielding (20x multiple) US treasury bond though. The treasury bond coupon is safer, but more exposed to inflation risks.

I'm not sure what BOXX is, but a quick look showed they hold options against SPY, so sounds like an options selling strategy for income. These work alright too, though your income will grow/decline along with the price of the underlying.

And you should check again revenue growth for COST or a stock like AAPL, which is projected to have -5% revenue growth over the year.

A 50x earnings multiple implies 2% yield today. Even if Costco doubles their revenue, at the same margins their earnings yield would only be 4%. So say they grow it 3x, they now have an earnings yield of 6%.

So in 15-20 years when they've 3x their revenue, you're entitled to a 6% yield on your original investment at 100% payout ratio.

To be a remotely good investment on a fundamental basis, they must either carry a lower multiple, or expand their margins over time. Given that Costco's whole premise is being a discount retailer, expanding margins is unlikely.

Please don't participate in an investing conversation if you don't have anything data driven to contribute.
I just use Spotify for its network effect. My friends and sites all send links to Spotify.

Services like Spotify will probably be around forever unless there’s easy ways to migrate playlists and “loved/liked” songs between platforms.

1st world problems, but I’m paying for Apple Music since my running playlists are on there (Spotify didn’t support offline on Apple Watch at the time) and most of my other playlists are on Spotify. I’ll probably pay for both forever for lack of time to consolidate.

Same with streaming services, sadly.

I think yes?

My understanding is that the "stackless" concept here means that it does not store its execution state in the "C runtime stack" (or Rust, in this case).

So, there is some blob of memory describing that info, managed by Piccolo, rather than it residing on the "real" OS execution stack.

In particular, for call chains like: Lua -> C -> Lua -> C (or so), it is normally hard to save/restore the "C" parts of that chain, since you need to peek into the not-normally-accessible and platform-specific C runtime stack details. I wonder: how are you doing it in your system?

In Piccolo, I imagine it would be easier, since even the "-> C ->" portions of the stack are being managed by Piccolo, not the base C runtime. I don't know what the APIs to access that stuff actually look like, though.

Aside: have you looked at Pluto/Eris for Lua serialization of coroutines?

From what we know, greek music followed the rhythm of the language, which had specific accentuation and different lengths for each syllable. From this one can reconstruct the rhythm, especially from ancient poetry such as the Iliad for example. Now, the tempo is another story, it is difficult to know why they decided on this.
