> Monopolists, however, ignore the demand curve.

That doesn't make sense, to obtain the MIR monopolists have to have an implicit consideration of the demand curve. Monopolists can't push the price off the demand curve without pointlessly leaving arbitrage opportunities (or burning money, I suppose) and their revenue depends on price and quantity.

There is a fun thought experiment too if we consider a silly degenerate case, imagine the demand curve has a practically impossible shape and spikes to infinite price at 10 widgets. Any logically sound strategy will tell the monopolist to produce 10 widgets because profit would be infinite. So they can't ignore a demand curve in theory because at a minimum they have to care that it is not a degenerate case.

That's not the problem with the U.S. electoral system. The problem is that it's FPTP on a per-state level, which distorts the vote. A page like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presiden... shouldn't even exist. Other democracies do have similar issues, but to a much smaller degree (the German election system has in fact been declared unconstitutional due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_vote_weight — but note that the constitution in fact requires the vote to be "fair"! The U.S. just plain doesn't. (Same issue with gerrymandering.)

The Weimar Republic Constitution is widely believed to be flawed, and has been called that as early as 1925. Where are you getting this?
Mechanized how though? I don’t think a few cases of water or wind mills turning things meaningfully moves the needle.

And it’s definitely not “a formalized process” because those existed long before the qualitative change that came with the Industrial Revolution, which was significant energy expansion into basically every industry, especially transportation.

Moving away from depending on animals to move goods outside of waterways dramatically shifted the entire world because it completely changed what was viable (cities of any significant size off of water ways).

> Giving more power to ag-corporations haven't worked past 30 years

On the contrary. World hunger has declined dramatically ever since the dawn of the industrial revolution, due almost entirely to large-scale mechanized agriculture and modern plant breeding.

It did take a jump in the last few years, but that was due to the pandemic, not a failure of agriculture.

Pretty much the only thing that can produce famine nowadays is war or a completely fucked-up government (sometimes war and a completely fucked-up government). Again, that's not the fault of modern agriculture.

We aren't going to go back to a world where guys with shovels and buckets of manure produce all the food. For one, they couldn't possibly produce enough food for the current population. For another, the "guy with shovel and bucket of manure" model was dependent on the guys being some type of unfree labor (serfs or outright slaves).

I like living in a world where 90% of the human race isn't digging turnips by hand, with an overseer standing nearby with a whip.

With Google’s graveyard[1] growing so fast, I’m careful with new Google announcements. An API like this sounds particularly problematic to replace sometime in future.

Virtualization, lxc, containers (and K8s), etc were solutions to "secure shared environments". And they have an order of magnitude lower performance hit than gvisor does (Google 'cloudrun python startup times' if you're curious on the real impact of this stuff).

Have we proven they're not secure and safe? Have we broken out of containers yet? Heroku was running LXC for years before docker, did they run into major security woes (actual curious)?

If "secured shared environments" is a more specific term meaning "multi user unix environment", I didn't intend to say that.

Though you already mentioned my whole thread is a bit off topic to this post (and I sorta agree) but then baited me with this comment after. I'm happy to drop it and wait for a Gvisor container runtime thread.
Not Chinese, but I might call myself trilingual and this is exactly something that has wondered me. Language "pair": ru>de>en

In very general terms, the longer you listen to a particular voice, the better you get at reconstructing the acoustically lost parts of the words. Imagine hearing low bitrate radio transmission for the first time. It's very hard to understand the words, but over time you'll get accustomed to the noise and the voice, it'll become intelligible to you. Quite literally training your neural net.

It's easy for me to read/listen to RU (native). I have no problem whatsoever listening to DE, but mentally it must be more taxing to also follow the text/train of thought (beyond very short-term memory) because I notice to be swaying away more often unless remain concentrated. So it's a little harder to memorize stuff in DE or read long thoughtful texts.

The walkie-talkie example from above is not arbitrary. I have experienced exactly that when learning DE and going to game servers with voice. Back then the microphones were all poor and noisy, it was much tougher to understand people. The adaptation took me about a week or two.

English is very specific to me. Remember what a radar chart is? That's it, one aspect is skilled to 100% and others are closer to zero. As you can ~see~ read, my writing is doing well. Listening to cleanly recorded and spoken content such as Youtube presents no issues. As with DE, I might not follow the content very well, but I can hear and understand all of it. Movies? Oh dear, subtitles please! Not only because the voice isn't recorded in a studio (sometimes whispering, sometimes mumbling etc.) but the variety of language (vocabulary, slang) and pronunciations overload me to the point of not understanding the spoken language. Yet because my general comprehension of English is good, I'd be mostly reading subtitles to not miss anything. As it stands, I would prefer either DE or RU in movies.

Years ago I had the pleasure to finally subscribe to AdoredTV on Youtube because of his content. Previously, I had skipped a video or two due to his Scottish accent. Slowly I have got used to it though. Admittedly, he had been trying to have an understandable pronunciation; some of the funny "Scottish English" videos I still can't understand. But when we had shown Adored's videos to friends, it was them who couldn't understand a word, because they were new to his accent.

Therefore I can second that subtitles are helpful, especially if you are distracted from listening or need assistance to understand spoken language (thus serves as a "gap filler"). Now knowing that the Chinese have THIS much trouble with their own tongue, I feel pity for them.
I agree linux has its shortcomings and on average is inferior to the trillion dollar backed alternatives, but I was focusing on countering the point of gaming that was made, which is for a fact much better on linux than on macos. You WILL have a better time gaming there.

Anyway, we should all be glad how far linux has improved over the years and how it is a viable alternative to many use cases now. Hardware support used to be appalling and it used to be painful to use it for basic things like internet, video, music, games etc. Even developers had a rough time, with windows being the gold standard dev environment. But look at it now, linux is the gold standard dev environment, meanwhile microsoft is having to course correct and embed a copy of linux into windows, buy github and create a multiplatform text editor to try and lure developers back.

I also think it's important people keep giving linux a chance every couple years, If it doesn't work for you now give it another chance 2 to 5 years from now, it might finally click.

This sounds like the UK.

In the UK everything is slightly dirty, but then there are these significant piles of garbage that just go unattended and grow in size. I think it shocked me when I first moved there. Years of rubbish in some areas, months in others, and it would be right in front of peoples houses and parks.

The UK really got left behind in terms of quality of life at some point. GDP doesn't buy nice living. I'm sure it's similar in other parts of (wealthy) Europe.
In the context of coder, the userspace TCP overhead should be negligible. Based on https://gvisor.dev/docs/architecture_guide/performance/ and assuming runc is mostly just using the regular kernel networking stack (I think it does, since it mostly just does syscall filtering?) it should be at most a 30% direct TCP performance hit. But in a real application you typically only spend a negligible amount of total time in the TCP stack - the client code, total e2e latency, and server code corresponding to a particular packet will take much more time.

You'll note their node/ruby benchmarks showed a substantially bigger performance hit. That's because the other gvisor sandboxing functionality (general syscall + file I/O) has more of an impact on performance, but also because these are network-processing bound applications (rare) that were still reaching high QPS in absolute terms for their perspective runtimes (do you know many real-world node apps doing 350qps-800qps per instance?).

Because coder is not likely to be bottlenecked by CPU availability for networking, the resource overhead should be inconsequential, and what's really important is the impact on user latency. But that's something likely on the order of 1ms for a roundtrip that is already spending probably 30-50ms at best in transit between client and server (given that coder's server would be running in a datacenter with clients at home or the office), plus the actual application logic overhead which is at best 10ms. And that's very similar to a lot of gvisor netstack use cases which is why it's not as big of a deal as you think it is.

TLDR: For the stuff you'd actually care about (roundtrip latency) in the coder usecase the perf hit of using gvisor netstack should be like 2% at most, and most likely much less. Either way it's small enough to be imperceivable to the actual human using the client.
Don't be silly: Everyone knows serverless is the way to manage huge numbers of servers!

Like how low-code involves large amounts of code, serverless is a perfect term for keeping people from knowing what's going on.
> Housing prices are still set by supply and demand. You can't charge LA prices in Atlanta no matter what kind of fancy scheme you run.

That’s missing the point of collusion. The point of collusion and price fixing is to break the market and prevent supply and demand from getting to natural equilibrium.

This type of collusion is real. Years ago several big tech companies were caught colluding to keep wages down. The demand for engineering talent was there, the supply was limited, but they agreed to not poach each other’s employees. After that was broken up, wages went up.

Supply and demand only works when the market isn’t under substantial collusion.
> Problem statement: it’s hard to describe arithmetic expressions in a way that:

I'm pretty distracted here. The answer to that question is either postfix or guaranteed parenthesis. Precedence is only ever used with mathematical operators anyway...

> ...it doesn’t tell whether * or + binds tighter, and their associativity.

Associativity isn't defined by grammar. It's defined by mathematical proof. You can write 2+4 or 4+2, and predict that they will evaluate to the same 6, but the grammar sees two entirely different expressions. Just because you know two syntax trees are equivalent doesn't mean they will ever be the same. Parsing is not arithmetic.

Yes, we have proven that shared-kernel multitenant is unsafe. The best example (though there are many) is the `waitid` LPE; nobody's container lockdown configuration was blocking `waitid`, which is what you'd have had to do to prevent container code from compromising the kernel. The list of Linux LPEs is long, and syzkaller crashes longer stil.

It sounds like all you need is some education. From first principals you should immediately discard a book filled with nonsense to a modern day society, especially when the veracity of the authors can’t be verified.

This is why “education” will not fix any of this. There are very fundamental rifts in what the truth even is.

For reference it's been edited out here: https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues/589

But github shows edits, so the edit is meaningless for privacy. Here's the original mail (yes, I'm blatantly ignoring his request to not publish this, I'm just this evil.)

I've looked into replacing ujson in pydantic with orjson
(https://github.com/ijl/orjson). In this implementation, the same JSON
library is used for everything, and JSON outputs bytes without
whitespace (as it's faster and JSON is a serialization format). If
orjson is installed, it won't affect pydantic's benchmark for
validation, but can be expected to improve whole-program performance.

It's a large change with breaking changes to JSON methods, however, so
rather than opening a pull request now, could you take a look and see if
that's consistent and acceptable to the project?

https://github.com/ijl/pydantic/commit/7c08f41edd340614d7c58888f025665dbc71d0e3

That passes tests, but that's all. I'll clean it up or modify if the
idea's acceptable.

Thanks.
