The low interest payed by banks hurt those that have cash to save and need to put it into some sort of savings account (short to medium term interest bearing account). If you have cash sitting in a bank account now it would pay to look at rates. There are some ok deals out there but you do not get the higher rates by accident.
I just listened to the 49ers game on AM today while driving, so YMMV. Anyone in the Bay Area should have a go bag for earthquakes and it should probably have an AM radio in it. Old, stable tech is uncool until it is necessary.

> America's growth is narrowly focused on the digital tech sector.

This is incorrect. Tech gets the most attention, but it's not the driver of GDP growth.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/248004/percentage-added-...

> This is a fragile position and now requires the full force of tariff and bans to sustain.

This doesn't even jive with your prior sentence. The US doesn't use tariffs to protect the tech sector. However, China outright bans foreign tech in many cases. Maybe you mixed up the countries?

> The GDP per capita is also a not great indicator of wealth for those actually living inside the country.

It's not perfect, but it's best we have. You can consider it the maximum amount of wealth that can be distributed within the country.

And I'm not sure why you linked to GDP by PPP. It's just COL adjusted GDP, which can be helpful, but has many caveats of it's own.

He picked the right stock at the right time and leveraged as much as he could on the way up. I doubt he'll be successful with the suit. If he's lucky he might be able to get some of the fees the bank charged. But he's not getting anything near the 415 mil he lost. He didn't get great advice from RBC but they didn't lose the money for him, he did. He lost it. Probably using the same strategy that made him millions. Unfortunately, the stock began to tank which made it easy to lose lots of money, if he didn't change his investing strategy hoping the stock would go up again. Options are great leverage for earning money but they are also terrible when you bet in the wrong direction. Bummer for the guy.

> You can easily get another tech job after you take a year off.

Thank you for your comment. It is missing a critical point.

I know that it’s likely I could get another job if I wanted to, after a year self-funded sabbatical (which, btw, wouldn’t be with my current employer, after having been with the company just a few months, remember the “3 companies in the past 4 years” part, I’ve really been on a wild job hopping ride caused by how much I hate working).

What I also know is that I have this strong inner feeling that, if I took one year off work, I would never, ever, want to go back to work, because working after experiencing such freedom would feel even more torturous than it is today. So, I see this strictly as a one-way only, and I would like for any commenter to treat this feeling at face value.

This is, in a way (modulo the entrepreneurship part, for which I don’t think I’m cut), similar to what my dad told me once: “in my early 30s, after I quit my job to embark in my solo entrepreneurship adventures, I knew that, no matter how bad it would get, I would never get another job, the feeling of being in control of your day was way too powerful once tasted”.
Nintendo is getting YouTube to take down videos that feature footage generated from emulators.
ive worked as a software person for 15+ years, largely in an agency setting, and literally the first "complex" project that came to mind for me was a company that makes custom doors. just doors. they used an excel spreadhsheet that was 200+ megabytes and 40+ sheets of extensive calculations and was used for both estimating prices and also the extensive component sourcing and a billion other parameters and in their 100+ employee company there was maybe one, two people who fully understood this shithole of a spreadsheet. as an agency, half a million dollars was understanding this stupid spreadsheet and documenting what this looked like as real sofwtare, and $150k was actually the development. AI would have zero chance of doing this work any time soon

---

It appears that my suspicions are true, and that I am being specifically targeted by Nintendo. My recent Wii U video was taken down and I received a second copyright strike, even though this showcase video was no different than all of the tech demos and reviews I have made on this channel previously. I am still considering a counter claim under fair use, as the video was for educational use, transformative in nature, and had no effect on the market -- it was a demonstration of a console no longer for sale (even the Wii U eShop is closed, so the company itself has no means of earning revenue from Wii U sales). However, I am reluctant to open that can of worms with a multi-billion dollar corporation, as their next step would be to file legal action.

At the very least this means I am going to change how I approach future videos. I will no longer show any Nintendo games on-screen, which is a shame because I love using those games for my hardware demonstrations. I don't know how that will play out when it comes to showing things like ESDE frontend themes that contain Nintendo characters, but for now I am going to focus on actual gameplay. I am also going through the videos I am working on and blurring out any Nintendo game content as a precaution, even innocuous content like NES games. Unfortunately this is going to delay some video releases -- my latest video should be up right now, but instead I have to re-edit and re-upload the video first.

I know this is disappointing news, but with now two strikes on my channel, I don't really have any other choice except to adjust accordingly. Thanks for your understanding.
Just because you drove wrong does not make the roundabout bad. That would require you to compare accident numbers from before and after. I’m fairly certain the stats lean in favor of even terribly designed roundabouts.
At this point wait for the M4, seems like it's going to drop in a month or so, and then get that. Though truth be told you could jump to an M4 MacBook Air and still get better performance than your Intel machine. Most people do not need the "Pro" or "Max" chips, even professionals.

> GP just meant that they had a bunch of interpreted language OOP developers (probably Java or C# or something like that), and they wanted them to start writing code in an AOT-compiled language (yes, I know about Graal native image; not the point).

JIT vs. AOT is not the same as being an interpreted language. For most applications, running on top of the virtual machine is a good thing, I don't see JVM developers turning to different languages just to escape the JVM, outside of some niche projects.

I have one gripe with these awesome machines, the cpu core scheduling. As part of developing our application we run benchmarks. Now every so often we get strange performance dips that I can only attribute to either or both the load generation process or the application process temporarily being scheduled on an efficiency core.

On macOS native there would be profilers I could use to at least detect it. But when using docker that gets all smudged into a single vm process.

Does anyone know how to detect this? Or better prevent? The only way I found is making a development kernel build to switch the boot core to a performance core and then disable all efficiency core. This is not practical on company hardware.

Basically the type system, most rust projects usually don’t come near “The advanced Reason there’s rust” and if they do need that there’re hardcore libraries for that, an ecosystem like that usually suffers from exhaustion cause no dev will want to maintain just a library and this is also the good apart of rust cause it lessens the barrier into the language as the ecosystem gets bigger

That comparison doesn't make sense. If you want 192GB VRAM, then that is the size of 8 4090s, so to make it competitive, the bandwidth also needs to be 8 times higher. Or 8TB/s in this case.
What version of the M1? I just “upgraded” from an M1 Max to a M3 device. The single core performance is higher on paper, but I don’t really notice it. I do notice the fewer cores. If you are on a base model, it may be worth upgrading to a Pro or Max CPU.
Yes for sure RBC has had a dozen lawyers write out their agreement for using their service and will have a clause or two stating they are in no way responsible and that their advice is made with best effort but the individual is ultimately responsible for any gains or losses. Poor guy. Seems like he had all his eggs in one basket and took a fall. Too bad he didn't diversify in other areas. It sounds like he wanted to but for some reason that did not happen. Perhaps it can be proven that he asked for exactly that and the agent failed to do so but again I am sure RBC has a dozen lawyers that will try and find any reason not to be liable.
Maybe we should instead do those things when that time actually comes. Premature optimization and all that.

I've spent my career working in and on a low-code tool. For 30 years we've been doing what you describe; allowing non-coders to generate working applications that solve business problems.

It's similar to the way that Excel exposed non programmers to data manipulation.

Lots of people had very successful careers building software this way. They created a valuable product with mostly just domain knowledge and not programming knowledge.

But there are boundaries to this approach. Because they lack the fundamentals, they're (mostly) unable to understand what something is doing or how something works. So there's a skilled group providing assistance (paid) whenever they hit a boundary.

AI won't make programmers go away. But it will both expand the reach of "writing programs" to more people, and simultaneously replace "unskilled" programmers.

As more joe public writes code, more programmers will ultimately be needed to support those Joe's. And in some cases, just like spreadsheets, the help might be "we need to throw all this away and build it correctly."

I think it's fairly uncontroversial to say that medical marijuana has made legalization of medical cannabis more palatable to the general public. That's why, when I read articles like this, part of me is worried that "psychedelics without hallucinations" will allow the government to continue to persecute users of psychedelics while still permitting medical use. That considered, it's ironic that DEA was recently blocked from, and is once again attempting to, place the substance in question (DOI) in Schedule I, even though this research might bring about a result that would be very convenient for them.
Reading isn't studying — that most won't read Shakespeare means studying the deeper meanings of the ingredients in the witches' brew in Macbeth is pointless and forced exposure is as much a waste of time as Roman numerals or Latin — do it on your own time as a hobby, don't make it mandatory.

Conversely, understanding the deeper meanings behind the stuff people do read, perhaps Pratchett, is valuable — the use of speciesism between Dwarfs and Trolls used as a substitute for racism, etc.

It's not like rhetoric stopped with old classics; therefore it is better to learn how it works in newspapers or viral memes, as if you keep to Tenyson you're just going to pattern match it to 1800s writing style.
Ya, I would be curious to see how this performs on out-of-cache data on an SSD and actual hard drive. On the other hand, the findings are definitely still relevant since RAM has gotten fairly cheap and most applications probably fit in it just fine.

Regarding databases - Btrees also have a natural sort order, which hash tables don't. This means a btree as your main data structure helps with sort, range, or list operations in a way a hash tables can't. That being said, even traditional databases obviously still use hash tables extensively (ex. Hash joins).
> Imagine leaving no space between `//` and a comment, I would never. Never!

I usually do this when I out-comment single lines of code. That way I can grep for `//[^ ]` to find lines that are out-commented code, as opposed to being actual comments for humans.

It also helps the readability in the case where a comment for humans is followed by out-commented code, to distinguish where the comment for human ends.
In the Vancouver area of British columbia, Canada, an important AM station recently went defunct: AM 730 Traffic. That was like the only reason to tune into AM anything around here while driving, unless you're into talk radio. Problem with that traffic station model is that you don't have a captive audience. Once the listener groks the traffic situation for their trip, they flip to another station (more likely than not FM, by the way) or their bluetooth or wired connection to their phone. That listener heard one or two ads at most (often none at all). People not driving have no reason to listen, either.

All the music stations encourage people to listen all day. "We are here for you while you work, or for your entire drive."

If the M4 really is coming out in a month, wait. Either get a 25% improvement “for free” (compared to what you’d pay now), or get a used one for cheaper as people with more money than sense rush to upgrade.

My experience doing this, granted two generations removed and all information existing before the digital era, was predicated on access to local, university, and church libraries/librarians.

If you can get a hard document into the preserved record, at a university, library, church, newspaper, etc you can have some assurance that humans for the next century will do their best to try and preserve it.

For example, the original copy of my grandfather's graduate thesis which is partially handwritten (the rest by typewriter - what isn't typed was done before typesetting was available to the average midwestern grad student in the 40s) is in a university library, and was digitally cataloged about 15 years ago. I have a bound copy that I got by contacting the librarians there and plan to give as a holiday gift to all of his children (my dad, his siblings).

Similarly, my grandmother kept detailed records of her local music clubs' meetings, including annotated program notes and scores. We found these by combing through six decades of scores that she'd kept in boxes in her basement (thank god there was never a flood or fire).

I told my brother and sister that they should keep hard copies of their writings around, and duplicates in safe deposit boxes or similar document storage for their kids/grandkids if they exist.

At the end of the day you need to trust institutions that will preserve information longer than a generation or two, which are libraries and banks.

One area that may not be obviously interesting is that your local community probably has a library and probably does not have much detailed published information on its history. And you probably have a local history society made up of volunteers. These organizations will last longer than you or I and you can trust if you publish something they care about (a local history, catalog of people, yourself, your neighbors, etc) those documents will long outlast you.

We think of paper as being cheap and easily destroyed, but paper documents often survive centuries. As long as there are people to keep it safe it will be around.
