Oh?

From The Education of Henry Adams:

"""
When his companions insisted on passing two or three afternoons in the week at music-halls, drinking beer, smoking German tobacco, and
looking at fat German women knitting, while an orchestra played dull music, Adams went with them for the sake of the company, but with no
pretence of enjoyment; and when Mr. Apthorp gently protested that he exaggerated his indifference, for of course he enjoyed Beethoven, Adams
replied simply that he loathed Beethoven; and felt a slight surprise when Mr. Apthorp and the others laughed as though they thought it
humor. He saw no humor in it. He supposed that, except musicians, every one thought Beethoven a bore, as every one except mathematicians thought mathematics a bore. Sitting thus at his beer-table, mentally impassive, he was one day surprised to notice that his mind followed
the movement of a Sinfonie. He could not have been more astonished had he suddenly read a new language. Among the marvels of education, this
was the most marvellous. A prison-wall that barred his senses on one great side of life, suddenly fell, of its own accord, without so much
as his knowing when it happened. Amid the fumes of coarse tobacco and poor beer, surrounded by the commonest of German Haus-frauen, a new
sense burst out like a flower in his life, so superior to the old senses, so bewildering, so astonished at its own existence, that he
could not credit it, and watched it as something apart, accidental, and not to be trusted. He slowly came to admit that Beethoven had partly
become intelligible to him, but he was the more inclined to think that Beethoven must be much overrated as a musician, to be so easily
followed. This could not be called education, for he had never so much as listened to the music.
"""

The Haus-Frauen had the fortune to be in Berlin. Still I think you underrate the reach of musical culture in general.
Do you really think everyone would like to spend the effort setting up such a stack?

If I can try to explain it - it is overcorrection from times when Tesla and SpaceX were cool with appealing mission places to work on. Bcs of that they could get away with smaller salaries too (although Tesla meteoric rise in value compensate it if you got options as I understand it).

>The fabs will be used even if it’s boring shit.

This is what a lot of people who have no idea about the semi industry miss because they get all their education from news headlines. Which is what I assume leads to Intel's massive stock drop. People voting on FUD, kind of like the opposite of the hype that pushed Nvidia to the moon, but when you asked investors who bought Nvidia, what Nvidia actually makes, most are clueless and only bought out of hype and FOMO.

Everyone assumes the world only needs 3nm chips because that's what TSMCs latest cutting edge node is and that's what they learned powers their iPhone, but the reality is the world runs on nodes much larger than that. To put this into perspective, the new TSMC fab being built in Germany will tape out 28/22nm nodes and then upgrade to 16/12 nm nodes mostly for robotics, industrial, IoT and especially automotive. Just let that sink in. Even Global Foundries is stuck at 12nm.

Intel's 4 process is cutting edge by comparison and plenty of international players who can't afford TSMC or Samsung would gladly pick up that node capacity for the right price.
Or even one of the many other food replacement drinks.

I personally enjoyed Huel back in version 1, or it may have been 1.1, but then it quickly swung into containing high levels of sweetener. More popular than other options, but if anyone else found it had moved into drinking cake then try some of the others rather than giving up.
Strongly disagree - the price increases were possible because people are strongly resistant to decrease their quality of life. e.g.: they'll pay significantly more of their income to maintain the same level of diet and travel up to the maximum they can afford (and beyond with debt). Rather than scaling back spending and reducing social status and leisure. This isn't even irrational, as status is linked to concrete health benefits (e.g.: Whitehall studies on cardiovascular health). There's been price matching across the food and service industries, due to consolidation and oligopoly - themselves a result of financialisation. So you have the whole food industry for example, responding to the supply shocks of covid by increasing price - then realising that demand elasticity doesn't apply if they act in unison.
Lets see what Lunar Lake (low power, mobile SoC) delivers in next 2 months

If it will deliver and match Apples Mx designs in terms of energy eff and perf, then ARMs expansion on the client side will slow down, I guess.

No point in porting stuff for marginal gains since ISA does not matter as much as ppl think

Theres also talk about their shift to GPU, maybe Battle Mage will deliver in this year
You are right when speaking about thin and light laptops.

I have been using already for many years a Dell Precision 15" mobile workstation laptop, which does not have any overheating issues.

In steady state, i.e. for an indefinite time, its Xeon CPU can dissipate 60 W without overheating and with an only audible, but not annoying, fan noise (the CPU is configured for a 60 W power limit, even if its nominal TDP is 45 W). The NVIDIA Quadro GPU must be able to dissipate simultaneously more than the CPU, perhaps 75 W or 90 W, but I do not know how the GPU power limit has been configured.

This laptop is rather thick and heavy, but not enough to bother me when carrying it in a backpack, and it has perfect Linux support. I do not know if the current Dell Precision mobile workstations have retained a so good quality as mine (which is the 2016 top 15" model).

While a thick and heavy laptop can provide good cooling, such mobile workstations or gaming laptops are quite overpriced. For a computer that must be carried in a backpack or briefcase, but which is intended to be used only plugged in the mains electricity supply, it is possible to achieve better cooling, higher performance, a much lower price and also a noticeably lower total weight by replacing a big laptop with a portable monitor, e.g. a 17" one, a compact keyboard and a SFF computer, e.g. a NUC-like computer with a volume between 0.5 L and 1.0 L.
Or the company is just led by a highly erratic narcissist with a track record (across several companies) of not treating his employees well.

Build cult, treat like cult members.
Why assume everyone is living in SF? I can’t imagine Elon actually asking his employees and taking there opinions into account, but my experience is that people are commuting in every direction in the Bay Area. This will be closer for some people without a doubt.
Maybe you spend too much time in tech forums and not tobacco, petroleum or pharma forums?
Hey dang, what exactly in my comment above warrants -5 (or more) downvotes?
It's worse over here isn't an argument for anything. Things are terrible in America, you have my sympathy. But they're getting worse everywhere. Part of the deal in the EU is that middle class wages are (often much) lower, in return for cheap / free healthcare and affordable housing. Once side of the social contract hasn't been held up.

Just because you caught up with back payments doesn’t mean the landlord wants you around anymore.

Not all delinquencies may have reached the level of lawsuit, either, while still being a problem.
The Bay area is fairly constrained in terms of transportation. Commuting in a car is not possible (unless you enjoy deadlock traffic + paying for parking). Public transportation exists but only works on specific segments.

I would guess a large portion of the individuals in the SF office would live within SF/East bay and have a fairly reasonable commute going to the SF office. I am not sure how far Bart goes south now but typically you would take Caltrain so thats a 45min ride from SF to Palo Alto. Then tack on however long it takes you to get to Caltrain. Easily a 1hr commute.
Congrats on launch! Definitely interested to see where you go with this. What I was looking for on the site was more about what the differentiators are compared to the standard planes in the category. A bit more about that and the mission would go a long way (some of what you say here should be on the site). Live reaction here: https://youtu.be/oklA3qnTbsc
I wouldn't bring up the Las Vegas network if you're trying to advocate for the boring company, it's quite possibly the worst system of transportation that's ever been created. A farce in every aspect, benefiting no one.
Why be on X in the first place? I lost all reason to be there about around the time of the rename.
I just have Musk muted and I never, ever see his posts nor retweets.
that's not my argument - that's my statement of fact.

I'm arguing that this success cannot be made into a model where many musicians gets a very small slice of the entire pie. There's gonna be mega successes, unless you artificially restrict it (to nobody's benefit).
This is absolutely heartbreaking... Thanks for sharing. So sorry.
Arguably they were a social forerunner for Spotify.

At a time when record companies fought hard to keep their music off the internet MySpace talked all sorts of bands into uploading and streaming their songs on MySpace.
> voltage levels and timing should be known beforehand, which will dictate exactly which families are suitable

TI alone has 13+ logic families for 3V3 for example, and all of them are faster than HC family (and thus usable for lot of applications). Nexperia has similar count, some of them are same-ish as TI, some of them are distinct. And other manufacturers have their own stuff. So that doesn't really cut down the options much.

Look at the table on page 7 of TIs "Logic Guide" for example https://www.ti.com/lit/SDYU001 or Nexperias "Logic Application Handbook" pages 293 onwards https://assets.nexperia.com/documents/brochure/Nexperia_LOGI...

Sure, if you are doing very fancy stuff, then you can boil all this down to some one specific family. But especially with 74 series these days when how often that is actually the case? And how often you just want some jellybean part that is easily available? And with part availability being what it is, I'd want to easily substitute parts from other logic families.

San Jose and Palo Alto are both 30 minutes from San Francisco and in California...
What area do you live where this is true? Michelin places may prevent customers from taking pictures, in my experience only the overrated ones do this, but they have their presence with information on the Michelin site.

In Tokyo, everywhere but the smallest stand, and often times even them, had reviews on Tabelog. In my smaller East Coast city, every restaurant I've seen within walking distance of my apartment has reviews and their menu online.

Places famous before the internet may get away with forcing their customers to pay in cash and no SEO, but places that completely delete themselves from the web are hiding something. They will also just never come up in a discussion about where to eat because they don't show up online.
Doubtful narrative. In a time when occupancy is going up you would not want to kick our your anchor. Having a large company like X can help boost the rest of the area.
I've converted a £10 trash tier quadcopter to run off of 30G wire. Only 5 meters range, and the weight and momentum of the wire cause extremely difficult to control oscillations, but it still flies (badly)!
The transmission losses over such thin wires are massive but the way around that is to supply a higher voltage than is required, and include a linear regulator inside the quad to burn off excess voltage when current draw is low.

I specced the wire purely based on the weight reduction I got from stripping out the cameras, battery, and then replacing the main body with a 3D printed skeleton, as the original battery contributed more rigidity than I had realised.

The product is more than just the index! The UI has become cluttered with ads that are barely distinguishable from genuine results. The functionality around using quotation marks for exact-match results has now become broken and confusing.
Many city buses just use the same roads as cars so if the cars are stuck in traffic so are the transit passengers.

Some cities do have bus-only lanes, and others have full on subway systems which is great but most do not.
> “… which allows you to analyze your python file.”

My code or someone else’s code? I see stats about imports, vars, classes, functions—I know what my code does if I wrote it, no?

I don’t get the use case. That said, I am interested in how I can more quickly learn other people’s code—structure, what’s a main process and what’s supporting.
Extreme sycophancy without much critical thought.

Might as well argue he’s going to give all his employees time machines to go buy $AAPL in the 90s as part of their comp plan. Would also get downvoted.
Is that the one that’s just teslas driving in a pretty normal tunnel at fairly unimpressive speeds & throughput?
While true, him leaving OpenAI to (one of) their biggest competitors does seriously risk his eggs in the OpenAI basket.
How do you get longevity results on short timescales?
You’re telling people to commute with a thing that doesn’t and very unlikely ever will exist?
Because Twitter doesn't pay rent. IDK?
There's free speech and there's amplification of speech. When Musk talks about "free speech" being denied what he's really complaining about is his views aren't being amplified. Obviously he can create a webpage somewhere and write whatever he wants on it (free speech), but that wouldn't be amplified so that's not what he wants. This is presumably also the reason he set fire to so much money buying Twitter.
I'm sure if you had one you wouldn't even connect it to the power, it has a command line, some GUI and prince of persia, which you can play now even on modern PCs with emulators, it has really no use, rather than, I don't know
They've already cut about 80% of their workforce since Elon took over, I'm not sure how much more attrition they can take. Sure the site still mostly works in the technical sense, but the way it works now has led to a significant decline in revenue and active users.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating: Kagi should stop blaming Apple or Google and make your own app already. People love apps and would be very happy to search by opening your app instead of using weird and suspicious hacks.

As a for-profit company you cannot fall back on the comfort of blaming outside factors for your problems. You have the best search engine in the world already, so don't make it so difficult for people to become your (paying) users.
It's not actually cost-efficient if you take into account one factor: demographics, or specifically: staffing.

A crew member of a train has a very demanding job. The shifts are highly irregular and you may have to spend the night far from home. In this regard it's even worse than flying.

Someone has to maintain the infrastructure, which by its very nature can also be in remote places.

Particularly busy railroad crossings also require staffing, even if they're ostensibly in the middle of nowhere.

Very few people in our ageing societies want this sort of life and you have to incentivise them to do it, which adds costs.
Just to add to that, this number is not really representative (at least for Germany when you are working). I work full time, so I pay about 700€/month for health insurance. Not that it's a competition but we are not that far away from your prices.
Public equity markets are a brilliant invention that makes us more prosperous. Sometimes there's volatility. So what.
They say moving to existing office spaces so just saving money i guess. Lease probably due and not wanting to renew it?

In the moment, having to type anything more than half a line is still a distraction, as you can still make typos, or start watching as the starts to highlight issues as you type (which may or may not be real issues). Reducing distractions in the moment still can help keep flow going for some people.
Aside from how you define “pleasant” there is a considerable vibe difference, SF feels more cosmopolitan and SJ more metropolitan. No judgement either way, pros and cons to both.
If I open Apple Maps and look for restaurants around me, tapping on one displays partial pics and reviews from Yelp. Tapping on those to read more will request I install the Yelp app. I would guess this integration is at least a contributing factor.
Something I'm pretty convinced of is that the domain no longer makes a real difference to anything, unless you have one of the spammy ones (.biz, .info) in which case those can be detrimental.

People actually live everywhere in the Bay Area, and do every commute, and there is extensive mediocre transit in the South Bay. Commuting Santa Cruz into town, Livermore into town, every single suburb has people going to San Francisco, or to another suburb, or San Jose, or Oakland. In heavy traffic they are much longer than 1 hr apart, and the fastest train is 1hr 10min iirc.

Asian traffic are generally expensive. OVH (their competitor) offers unlimited bandwidth, except in Australasia where it's cutthroat (1 TB for their lowest plans) and from what I heard OVH's Asian servers are worse in some ISP combinations, for example with Telkom Indonesia, that ironically their European servers are faster (it seems that ISPs are just extortionate here).
>Why are you encrypting?

In any case I can think of, people encrypt things because they want to restrict who can know what those things are.

>Why are you signing?

In the context of encrypted files, you would sign because you want to know if an attacker has modified or more simply just replaced your file. Authenticated encryption is considered more or less standard these days.

>Those are different operations.

Except for niche applications like password storage, most people want/need authentication. Giving someone a raw encryption utility like Age is almost always going to result in a situation where that user is not protected against modification/replacement when they do asymmetrical encryption. That is assuming that they can figure out the keys for even just the encryption.
The same thing would happen with a party that receives 20% of the vote. No representation

Is this comment satire? It's really hard to tell.

If it's not I encourage you to go look at the stellar success of the boring company in places like Las Vegas and reconsider your assessment of the future.
But isnt the authors point the exact opposite?

He is instead critizicing that so many talented musicians go unheard because of the name dropping culture of those credentialed enough to be at the top.

Or worded differently, there's no innate talent at the top unless it has been "certified" by insiders.
There's one factor that isn't mentioned here that really should be: the cost of real estate.

Australia used to have a really good quality-of-life. This all started to change in the 2000s when housing prices skyrocketed. Now look at the median prices for Australian major cities [1]. Over $1.1 million for Sydney as the median price.

Now bear in mind that wages haven't changed that much in the past 2 decades. A good salary is still $100-200k and not much more than that. Any job you have in tech in Australia, outside of Google, is likely to still start with a 1, maybe into the low 200s.

Now if you happen to have bought 20 years ago, you're fine. If not, you're screwed. In an election a few years ago, the Opposition threatened to remove or reduce negative gearing and they pretty much lost because of it. What is negative gearing? The ability to deduct losses on investment properties against your ordinary income. Crazy, right? For a country where buying your primary residence is increasingly out of reach. More [2].

Why does this matter? It affects commercial real estate too. Now imagine 20 years ago a lot for your McDonald's franchise and the building cost $500,000. Now it's $2.5 million. That cost is built into every burger sold.

Rising house prices are simply stealing from the next generation and it cannot continue indefinitely. The end state here is a sea of housing people have to spend their entire income to pay for dotted with the occasional Aldi store and a bunch of virtual kitchens.

I am also getting this in Firefox on Linux. Don't think I've ever seen this particular failure mode before!
They've cut out things like viewing who liked a tweet etc (for cost savings I suspect) so the site is probably dirt cheap. Can't imagine ads don't pay for the cost of running servers at this point, and a headcount reduction might bring it to profitability.
flying is worse for the environment, as few people should fly as possible, not more
Perfect is indeed the enemy of the good. So we should realize that not everyone values the same things and not single out something as deserving extinguishing just because it's something we personally don't value.
