Why not? My Firefox won't run the demo, so I don't know what it is doing that wouldn't be possible with WebGL. AFAIK there is no inherent reason why you can't render many lights using WebGL.
Yes, the paper says that is only English.

If - as some have reported - modules can bring my compile time down significantly that is bigger than anything else and it will be worth the effort to adopt. That is a big if - modules are still in the early adopter stage and so we are still learning how they work. In general my project is late adopters.

> Existing studies that show an increase in capital’s share of income miss the growing role of depreciation in short-lived capital, in items such as software, says MIT’s Matthew Rognlie in “Deciphering the Fall and Rise in the Net Capital Share.”

Subtracting depreciation isn't a fair comparison. The example uses software as a short-lived asset. Has the monetary value of Google's search algorithms depreciated? They've been upgraded with routine investment, but the scale of the returns on their upkeep vastly outweighs the capital investment, otherwise Google wouldn't be so profitable.

Software of the internally-developed sort isn't even depreciable [1], so it's not clear how its value for these purposes would be determined (short of assuming it represents a percentage of the business's value).

Also, from the paper linked in your article:

> Once all compensation of employees at the sawmill is
subtracted, the remainder is its gross capital income. Some of this capital
income will be paid to lenders in the form of interest, some will be paid
to the government in taxes on profits, and the rest may be retained on the
balance sheet of the sawmill or distributed as dividends to shareholders.
Gross capital income is thus a very broad concept, encompassing funds that
are ultimately paid out to many different recipients—it is unaffected, for
instance, by the split in financing between debt and equity.3
GROSS VERSUS NET: CONCEPTS An alternative to gross value-added is net
value-added, which subtracts depreciation. This can be divided into labor
and net capital income, the latter being gross capital income minus depreciation.

Everything which I have emphasized above are examples of returns to capital. Excluding them from consideration in this presentation is ignoring how a large amount of returns are channeled to owners of capital.

Debt-holders gain from interest and shareholders are enriched via dividends and share buybacks that never appear on the article's net income derived graph.

Of course, when you willfully ignore those huge tranches of returns, then housing looks like a major factor, because it is the common asset class that has been on a largely unchecked inflationary track.

Finally, your article from 2015 argues that the overall trend will reverse and labor's share of GDP will start increasing. Here's what has actually happened since then:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PRS85006173

The brief spike in 2020 was due to pandemic era redistribution policies like the child tax credit, among others. Since those have been repealed, labor's share has continued its prior trend downwards.

I wonder about this. Certainly this is true about the current state of autonomous cars, but...

Hypothetically, if all the cars are synced, you eliminate certain congestion effects. E.g. traffic congestion travels backwards like a wave. But if all cars stop and start in unison, that's eliminated.

Likewise, synchronized cars can drive closer to each other, merge more efficiently, and reserve alternate routes.

Here's my perspective. Not exactly related, but I hope you understand how I think:

If I am a small shipping company, and all I need is someone to wrap boxes and store them, and the load isn't much, then should I be paying them full time for the job? Heck, should I pay them a living wage? No. I pay them the value of the job.

Obviously, we need a certain minimum wage because nobody deserves to get scammed and make 10 cents a day, but at the same time, this push for all these benefits isn't realistic. I wish it was, but it isn't.

Obviously, my example is different from Amazon, but this is more a business owner perspective.
Not sure that is fair. Many people accept that there are 2 sure things in life (maybe 3) - birth and death.

Many people be able to say "that's life, i just hope the didn't suffer!"

I feel the important piece to remember with VO2Max estimation is: Its an estimation. Its significant figures [1]; reporting the value to one or more decimal places communicates a level of confidence inappropriate for how inaccurate these estimations generally are. Especially the Apple Watch's; Garmin's is known for being pretty decent, usually +/- 2, but Apple Watch's is all over the place and is infamous for being really inaccurate.

Clamping pace to 5 seconds is a similar idea. GPS isn't super accurate: within 16 feet some sources say [2], though it gets better if you've got dual band, if you're moving; but it gets worse when you don't have an open sky. Just ten feet of GPS inaccuracy over a ten minute mile means your recorded pace is somewhere between 9:58/mile to 10:02/mile. And, experimentally, these systems are way, way more inaccurate than that: on a recent bike ride, with no major sky obstructions, I wore both an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Garmin Enduro 3; the AWU2 recorded 25.05 miles, Enduro 3 recorded 25.18 miles. That's a difference of ~686 feet; ~27 feet/mile.

Why is this troll on the news all the time and why should anymore care?
That’s just a heterogeneous population with selection bias. Everyone is always convinced because when they’re disproven they stay silent. These days prediction markets allow people to convert beliefs to money so it becomes not very convincing when everyone manages to be perfect at predicting things and is always complaining they aren’t making enough money while simultaneously giving up the chance at doubling their bet on a sure shot.

Combine that with people upgrading uncertainty to certainty post-hoc when debunking comes out and you have these entertaining things. Overall, I’m glad you called it out.

I never asked anyone to stop eating meat or even reduce it. I only tried (very politely, because I know this is a sensitive topic) to point out the effects of overfishing etc and in my experience, people don't want to hear it. In many cases, they are fully aware of the effects of meat/dairy industry, they still don't want to give up meat. This I understand, I struggled to give up coffee for many many years.

On the question of reducing subsidies for the meat industry - are you aware how powerful the meat industry is? Even the almighty Oprah at the height of her fame and reach couldn't do anything, got sued by the beef industry. There are a few states that have ag-gag laws, do you really think there is political will to repeal these?

In my town, a single mango costs $3.49. Sure it would be nice to subsidize fruits and veggies, but animal industry lobbying is way more powerful than mango/watermelon lobbying.

I appreciate your positivity, I suppose our experience on this issue has just been polar opposite.

>because it would be too expensive.

Specifically, they didn't want to waste 1-10 torpedoes for testing, which maybe that can be defensible, but it became utterly indefensible when every single submarine came back from patrol with reports of "we launched a spread of 4 torps, 2 hit the hull of the enemy ship, zero detonations".

The lost value in un-sunk enemy shipping, the number of dead seaman that should have come back victorious, the number of subs that got sunk after an attack utterly failed, all were individually prices that dwarfed a single Mk14 torpedo, and together had a measurable impact on war performance.

All because the bureau of ordinance basically refused to hear any feedback.

Nearly every single component of the torpedo was unfit for service. The magnetic exploder didn't work. The contact detonator was nearly incapable of working because of the physics of torpedo impacts in a way that meant getting a perpendicular hit, which was considered optimal, actually was less likely to detonate. The depth keeping system was calibrated incorrectly, due to module integration mistakes, and ran 10 feet deeper than it was supposed to in some cases.

It's actually kind of common for US military procurement to produce a somewhat failed piece of equipment initially, but it usually gets modified and iterated on and improved to the point of being very respectable hardware in short order. The refusal of BuOrd to hear feedback is the real problem here. Their insane delays in fielding and responding to feedback cost real US lives. Once the torpedo was fixed up, the American sub fleet in the pacific ran roughshod over Japanese supply and utterly crippled their abilities to maintain control over the island chains.

The reason BuOrd gave for refusing to double check their work as these scathing reports came in? You see, the navy was struggling to produce enough torpedoes to meet requirements, so we can't waste a couple for testing. Instead, HUNDREDS of outright non-functioning torpedoes were sent to the bottom of the pacific, completely wasted, with almost no hope of actually working, because they were never tested.

The entire situation should be required reading for anyone in management, anywhere. Textbook case of penny smart, pound foolish.

We talked to Tony Haile and Scroll before they exited. I asked him how selling (enterprise pre-sales and sales) to publishers was going. Tony said "it's like stabbing yourself in the eye a different way each day".

Publishers do not want to share subscriber data, period full stop. They also hate ad blockers. For Brave, we had to make a primal choice: user-first means blocking ads and trackers, not trying to serve publishers too. House divided will fall, and this kind of conflict of interest between fake blockers who sell whitelisting or otherwise cater to big publishers has hurt Eyeo GmbH among others famous cases.

How types make hard problems easy
I think this comment misses what we're saying here in that there are many people working on things like operating systems, specialist desktop software and libraries, for whom API design has nothing to do with any form of network transport at all.

In my case, the company I worked at shipped a product that came with a set of header files and dynamically linked libraries that exposed some of the core functionality to the customers for use in their own software, and designing this API was a specific task in itself.

It's a good design, IME. Lowepro makes a variety of similar ones. (I had a one similar to the photo, fitting 2 bodies, wide L, long L, f/1.4 prime, strobes and triggers, and boxes of strobe batteries.)

Lowepro also has day/overnight/carryon backpacks, so you can carry some DSLR gear, laptop, change of clothes, and toiletries, all in one bag.

I still have one LowePro day backpack that I repurposed as engineer/startup briefcase. It fits a huge laptop and misc. stuff for working late hours, and has a DSLR door in the side, so you can slide one shoulder strap off off long enough swing it forward like a sling bag, for quick access to a good camera for serendipitous shots.

Regarding real sling bags, I personally wouldn't use for lengthy carrying of heavy stuff, since it's asymmetric left/right. I even got rid of my grocery canvas tote bags, and use an old backpack for carrying home groceries.
I'm assuming you're in disagreement with me. In which case I'm going to point you towards the literal formulation of quantum mechanics being the description of a state space[1]. The universe as a quantum markov chain is unambiguously the mathematical orthodoxy of contemporary physics, and is the defacto means by which serious simulations are constructed[2].

It's such a basic part of the field, I'm doubtful if you're talking about me in the first place? Nobody who has ever interacted with the intersection of quantum physics and computation would even blink.

[1] - Refer to Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics by Von Neumann for more information.

[2] - Refer to Quantum Chromodynamics on the Lattice for a description of a QCD lattice simulation being implemented as a markov chain.
The language one speaks has nothing to do with literature class*, as the point is to teach reading comprehension, critical thinking, writing, and whatnot. The exposure of great works before college helps build a firm foundation on which to read and dissect more complex works.

* Obviously the works need to be readable in a language one knows. But it's not like the essence of literature classes change whether one speaks English or German or whatever. That's not the point.
