>> Well, it would funnel tax dollars to already-established companies that don't need the subsidies.

Yeah it sounded like a gift to nVidia.

My prediction was that nVidia would ride the quantum wave by offering systems to simulate quantum computers with huge classical ones. They would do that by asking the government to fund such systems for "quantum algorithm research" since nobody really knows what to use QC for yet.

This move primes that relationship using the current AI hype boom.

So look for their quantum simulation-optimized chips in the near future.

GPU, gpgpu, crypto, ray tracing, AI, quantum. nvidia is a master at milking dollars from tech fads.
I’ve had mixed success asking to add my loyalty number at check-in, even if I already provided it to the aggregator.

"Won't see it?"

You can't argue that all else equal, driving during the day is as likely to hit a pronghorn as driving at night. Not calling you a liar, but I'm skeptical.
Hard and well paid gets a flood of people pursing it so difficulty can't be the only explanation. Finance, actuarial science, medicine, and law get plenty of applicants. I think it's that CS is an office job that pays well and is in-demand.
When I was about 13 I took apart a broken servo from a hobby RC car I had. What a revelation to me. The circuit board was pretty mysterious to me, but I noticed the encoder (didn't know what it was called then) on the output shaft, and immediately realized its purpose. It looked to me a bit like a volume knob. I wondered why the servo motor didn't keep turning, but I realized this thing must be telling the motor "a little more" or "a little less", and it would have to keep making small oscillations back and forth to compensate for external forces, etc, which explained all the twitching noises it made. It was a great discovery at that age.

No, those kids can't have whatever they have if they're under 13, 14 or 18, depending on what it is that they have.
I wonder if Apple Intelligence is forcing them to create new chips for things like the SE and TV instead of using old chips which I think they’d usually do.
It's still true. Recently looked at hotels and airline tickets on my droid while a friend checked the same with their iPhone and the prices they saw were 15-20% higher for the same rooms/seats/etc.

This was also true after we logged into loyalty accounts (the discounted loyalty price on iPhone was still higher than the general public price on Android).

We are in the race for a better LLM*, deliberately disguised as a race to the singularity, because that's what gets investor-dollars and fame.

Margin call

You short 10 shares at $400 and you have $4500 in your account.

The stock is wildly swinging around and temporarily goes up to $440/share.

Your position would cost $4400 and you only have $4500 in your account, so your broker says "oh no! If TSLA goes up a little more we might never get our money back from this customer" so they liquidate your position while they still can.

No SoMe, no smartphones - until 5th grade (class agreement and school policy).

No SoMe at all for kids under 13.

No messaging after 20:00.

1.5 h screentime (ios) maximum a day.

O.5 h enforced reading (actual books) from 17:30-18:00 (we make it a family thing - all reading together).

No screens at all at playdates until 4th grade.

No movies or media below age-level ratings without consent from parents.

No phones in bed or while sleeping.

Heavy utilization of screentime, unifi network blocks etc.

Works well for us
Utility companies and common carriers have special obligations in exchange for their government granted or natural monopolies.

Certain large internet companies might eventually be considered utilities or common carriers, but I think that this would be a bad thing because it would tend to favor monopolization.

At any rate, no one has or should have a state-enforced right to an account on a particular social media site. It’s silly how fast people jump to comparing Facebook to the electric company.
Never watched any and don't have a desire to.
I know this kind of operation was totally unthinkable only just a couple of years ago precisely because Americans have been known to hold very funny ideas about “freedom” sometimes but I’m really glad they got over that fear and took this kind of action.
I'm glad you shared it. Compared to 2025's crypto scams and influencer nonsense what you did was pretty tame.
Workers ALWAYS give back some of their salaries when a company fails. They either get lower compensation or lose their jobs altogether.
Just like most other systematic issues, the "Violence" is rarely surface level. The violence in these specific cases may look more like a father and husband being gone without meaningful trace, leaving a potential family to fend for themselves without a legal or decent way to do it. It's a teenager never making it back home, leaving a family in turmoil. The act of processing someone for illegal immigration may not be violent[citation needed], but the wake of the act is undeniably violence. I'm curious now, why do degrees of separation of intent minimize fault of the perpetrator?

Denying Ruby Ridges the chance to attend an integrated school wouldn't have been violence on one hand, but the systemic chain of events inside the lack of equal opportunity could be perceived as such.
Meta makes an incredible amount of money. Laying off employees who are otherwise doing fine just because their compensation is a bit higher than you thought would be stupid and petty.
Ok, but the alfalfa gets eaten. A lawn doesn’t.
Lets say probably it is going to be a lot of AI down every single product that DevDiv is responsible for, most likely tied to OKRs.

Which will affect every single developer that works within Microsoft ecosystem of programing languages and tools.

> for example tech CEOs quit any sort of morals for a good paycheck

An alternative explanation is that prospective tech CEOs who are willing to overlook morals are scarcer and thus mandate higher salaries. ;)
The NATO stuff is such propaganda, the idea has always been imperialism and to take the people and turn them into Russians.
If the world worked logically, I'd agree that the argument has a realistic premise.

However, it can be argued that it is not logical, and there is evidence to demonstrate that. For example, the H1B program is rife with abuse and is often used to import cheaper labor by corporations to undercut domestic labor costs. There is a relatively famous case of this happening at Disney for example[0]. This is one example of distorting labor market dynamics, there are many others. These act as obvious wage suppressors even when it results in obvious loss of productivity, the suppression of wage growth is more important than productivity, and you can only get away with that in a flawed system to begin with. By this rationale, this should have been an obvious mistake to Disney, yet they did it anyway.

Now in terms of even broader business market dynamics things like regulatory capture, the tech sectors inclination toward harmful monopolization etc. all contribute to distortions where more productive companies don't actually take over business from others. Microsoft's famed "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" is an example of this. Big tech buying out competitors is another. These become market distorting dynamics as well. Its not a level playing field, nor is it a rational market.

To that end, businesses using laws and regulation to prop up their own self worth isn't talked about enough, yet its happening constantly. However when workers want to do the same, its a 'thinking flaw'?

If its such a flaw, why are businesses doing it for themselves?

please see my edit about the relevance of time delay. Im curious what you will say. Using the loan analogy, I understand how a firm can make money on loans with a repayment delay. This doesnt make sense to me if the payout is >100% and the average time delay converges to 0.
Are they allowed to play games at other kid's houses? Like, if they're at their friend's house and everyone is playing Super Smash Bros together, but they haven't "graduated" out of the board game phase, will they get in trouble for joining in?

In theory I like your idea, but there are so many "edge cases" that make it a challenging thing to implement, and something that could backfire if its too strict.
Homogeneous? You know who's overrepresented and nothing will be done there.
These companies hire all of these exemplary graduates and pay them so well because (1) they are flush with cash because businesses are essentially held hostage to adtech; and (2) so that they won't go out into the world and build systems that make them irrelevant, as smart people are wont to do from time to time. Someone on your payroll doesn't have the time nor the inclination to knock you from your pedestal.

Why else would Google need 182,000 employees? Or how about Facebook with 67,000? Microsoft clocks in at a whopping 228,000, and Apple at 161,000.

These are staggering numbers of employees. So many, in fact, that it would be an exercise in futility to try and manage so many for the number of products they offer, especially Google and Meta.

It's cheaper to make busywork than risk the cash cow.
some notes from my ~4 month looking so far (also after a >half-year sabbatical):

* one company (behind 2 levels of middlemen) had "invented" some utopian form of LLMized auto-translate framework X into framework Y AND by-the-way, chop the monolith into microservices - so they needed "software curators", not programmers? But expert ones!

* some middleman company, before anything else, sent me to "AI"-led interview, which asks questions and records my answers. 1-2 minutes per question. Question 1: how would you write a streaming service in python?

* 50% of all job posting are either betting, crypto, or both. Unless something even more bogus

* 75% try to fit "AI", "ML", or "LLM" in the requirements somehow - for the sake of it being there?

* 20% of job postings repeat forever. Biting on them does not do much

* 70% of (my well intended) job applications go unanswered.. cannot know if they are real or not, or is it ageism? or blind keyword-matching? Who-knows..

* only 5% lead to initial interview ;

* one of the hopefuls, went further into tech/coding check, which passed but "we decided to change requirements of the job"

* etc. Complete mess

Ah. Have fun, i'll keep trying :)
Probably. But this isn't really something you can control. So why bother?
It's incredible despite multiple additional individuals telling you that you're wrong you continue doubling down on it.

10 / 3 != 3.000000000000000000000000 no matter how many times you refute it. You should really learn to accept it and continue on and look deeper inside yourself into this. It's sad you still haven't learned this lesson from elementary education. Maybe they should have suspended you.

In no world does 10 / 3 = 3.0. This is just a falsehood as much as 2 + 2. = 5. I don't care about your large values of 2.
A lot of parents at our school signed a “wait until 8” pledge to wait until 8th grade before getting them smartphones. This way there will be less social pressure from their friends to be connected. My assumption is that without a smartphone they won’t use social media.
In short, if it tastes nice and was man-processed, it probably will be bad for you?
If oauth makes an authenticity claim, it should be true. Saying it's the same user when it's not is bad, clearly.

in other words: Google could make a more accurate authenticity claim than they currently do.

This problem would be worse without oauth, though, right? With plain email login, all they would need to do is "forgot password" and there wouldn't even be a way to tell.

in other words: Email login would never be able to make a more accurate authenticity claim.
Awesome! In 4 or 5 years we should be able to drain that and let the aquifer collapse!

Sure, but real estate is expensive in those places for a reason - it being typically because a sufficient number of people with lots of money want to buy it.
We haven't really decided what we're going to do with our kids. I personally think I'd enjoy homeschooling them, but I don't know what their preferences will be. Their mom would appreciate the break. That said,

1. Teachers develop skills in managing rooms of ~30 kids. I believe this is completely different from tutoring someone 1:1 and likely has very little overlap.

2. Part of my day job is already mentoring/teaching. I enjoy that part of my work. I've received feedback that I'm good at it. Actually when I was younger I thought I'd switch into teaching after building up some savings with programming. I've since heard/read enough about the realities of being a teacher that I can't imagine doing that job (especially with public school). Homeschooling or teaching a homeschool pod seems like the best way to actually be able to teach if that's your inclination.

3. The k-12 curriculum is not really much to cover. Schools move at a pace appropriate for the slower kids in the room. It doesn't seem like a high bar to beat, and most of what I've found looking into it indicates that homeschool parents generally do outperform schools with a fraction of the time spent.

3a. I've already been teaching my 3 year old phonics and reading when she's in the mood. She doesn't really have the attention to sit and focus for more than ~5 minutes, but that's okay, and it's still going alright. I expect she'll already be years ahead of the school curriculum before it's even time to start. So initial results have been promising and suggest I am indeed capable of teaching a child.

4. When it comes to more advanced/in-depth understanding, I don't expect teachers to have the background. Like just looking at the math education program at my alma mater, there's no requirement for real analysis or algebra. There's no requirement for science courses (physics, chemistry, etc.). All of the options in the math department except education require at least a minor in another STEM subject. It's no surprise that a common trope is that teachers (particularly math) don't know how to answer how something gets used in the real world, but that's insane to me as a status quo. There are tons of applications of pretty much any math you might learn before graduate level in pretty much any field you examine (conic sections stand out to me as a niche thing that we covered in high school. Not that they don't have applications to e.g. orbits, but they don't seem to apply to other fields, and I don't believe the connection to physics was made in my high school class anyway (presumably because math teachers where I grew up aren't required to learn physics)).

Honestly I think school is mostly more useful for socializing and something like arts/crafts that entail mess and require a bunch of energy to do at home, especially before high school/AP classes. The academic part seems trivial. Once you've reached that conclusion, it makes sense to ask whether there are alternatives that are better suited/are more aware of and aligned to their purpose as enrichment.
Yeah I’m really happy I managed to migrate at all, ignoring these non-fatal losses. It was not the first time I tried.

I'm not sure where GP's 25% comes from. But there have been various assessments that China intends to "reunify" with Taiwan by 2030. [1] Xi Xinping has also instructed the PLA to be prepared to invade by 2027. [2]

If you then ask yourself whether China would rather invade during the Trump administration (with its tendencies towards isolationism and "deal making") or roll the dice on a subsequent U.S. administration, you might find yourself thinking that the odds actually seem considerably higher than 25% that this could happen in the next four years.

To the extent that this narrative comes via the U.S. intelligence/defense community, one has to assume that it may biased towards exaggerating the threat. I for one hope that is the case, since I do not want to see a U.S.-China conflict any time soon. At the same time, I unfortunately don't think it's likely to be completely baseless.

Sometimes I feel grief about the fact that I will almost certainly never have kids, but then I also feel immense relief that I don't have to navigate the extremely complex challenge of raising them in the modern world.

It might be possible but domain knowledge might give some candidates a leg up on the competition, going in blind just seems suboptimal, though most of the relevant EE undergraduate classes were in sophomore and junior level for me in the late 1980's and I only got to use EDA software when working a couple of semesters for AMD as a junior.

Yeah definitely unfortunate. That said, I'm guessing the overall cost of overseas packaging is really tiny, otherwise Intel would've made a great customer since they are already packaging TSMC N6, N5, and N3 in New Mexico for their Arrow Lake CPUs.
OK, but TFA is about the work part, not the passive part, despite the title. Even having a “portfolio of revenue generating products” will require work to maintain. Maybe full time or more so, depending on if you used log4j or an SSL cert from a provider that screwed things up, say. Or built on a fickle platform like reddit, twitter or Apple that changes the fundamental rules every so often. Just because you don’t have a boss that will fire you for not waking up for on call during an outage, doesn’t mean that outages won’t happen or need to be fixed.

It reminds me of people that consider buying a second home and rent out the old one to gain “passive income”, not realizing how much work it can be to be a good landlord.
Genuine question, what would that flow look like?
I'm not too sure but I would assume there's going to be faster turn prototype chips in the USA now? Is packaging needed to prove a prototype? Can we start buying IP blocks and make our own ICs? I'd love a MCU with built in IMU and wide range LDO, not sure if that's possible all on the same node.

There's going to be some niches opening as a result of this IMO.
Belief in a coming technological singularity is completely unscientific and based on zero hard evidence. It is essentially a secular religion with computers cast as deities to either usher in a new utopia or exterminate us all. Surely I am coming quickly, sayeth the Lord.

I think you may be a bit confused about the players here. When you use Google OAuth to login, it _is_ your identity provider, and it is reporting to Slack that the user exists. Google is reporting the user exists because it exists in the Google Workspace directory. You use this as your source of truth for provisioning users, and they automatically get access to all of your company's apps.

The problem is that even though the user has the same email (joe@example.com), and the same Google Workspace domain ("hd": example.com), this is actually a _new_ Google Workspace account. But nothing Google provides to Slack allows them to detect this.

Slack, et al can fix this by _not_ using the public Google OAuth integration, and forcing every use to configure an individual internal Google OAuth integration. But they use the public one because Google has said it is a safe and secure way to operate their service.
It is exactly what it is, and describing it as "anti-glare" or "matte" is reasonable and accurate. I'm just saying that I see why Apple uses a distinctive term instead to highlight the difference in their approach and its purported advantages.

You are arguing that the nation as a whole will benefit, not the specific workers who loose a job, can’t get one, etc in the short run

This approach of optimizing for long term GDP growth (most of which goes to the investor class) over the interests of workers today is why you see right wing populism on the rise in the US.
