Well, perhaps, that's one way to look at it, but I don't think it's the only way. By sharing your experiences you can also help others who might be feeling the same way but who aren't able to put their thoughts/feelings as eloquently into words as you can. Avoid mentally catch-22-ing yourself into a corner where you can never take any action. I will note that reading it, it doesn't feel like you're trying to make a spectacle/grab people's attention, it seems like you're just being honest to yourself.

And I'll also add that you should prioritize what's important to you right now. If the thing you need is to share some of these thoughts, then prioritize that. If the price of that catharsis is that it feels a bit like a spectacle, then so be it.

And I'll also add that for the one thing I did have that I don't like to talk about, I did have to talk about it with someone close because it was starting to eat me up a bit.

Pixel 9 Pro, or virtually all android phones apart from the recent snapdragon Elite and coming ARM Cortex X5 all have much slower single threaded performance comparing to iPhone.

The Google Tensor G4 in single thread and integer only is roughly in between iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. That is the performance between 2019 and 2020 on iPhone.

And Tensor G4 is already on the high end Android Phones. You can quickly see how all previous and lower end android phone are much slower.

Wasps and bees have different ecological constraints with different risks involved. There is no contradiction here. They evolved as the fittest in their own constraint set. If bees weren’t fit enough, they would have gone extinct and replaced by bees with non-barbed stingers. There is no magic that makes them survive.

Evolution doesn’t have any goals or agenda. That’s why whales still have vestigial hip bones despite having no hips whatsoever. Because it’s not a significant parameter in their survival. Same with barbed stingers of bees.
I had a couple of friends who insisted that I should read it. I tried, but found it to be very boring.

I think that's the most incredible aspect about this book. As a novel, it is so incredibly boring and flat. As an anti-ideology morals-first treatise, it is so very ideological.

Maybe I'm biased because I never even finished it, I fell asleep every single time.

The idea of hidden figures sacrificing themselves to provide a good foundation for society is quite nice. A book about this idea is kinda dumb, for obvious reasons (you don't talk about fight club).

Imagine thinking the U.S. govt and corporate overlords are terrible because they’re banning TikTok and getting back at them by going to a Chinese app. China, the country which has a literal firewall preventing their people from getting information that isn’t vetted, bans nearly every external app because they don’t have control over it, and most ironically, never allowed TikTok, whose banning you think makes the U.S. govt terrible, in China in the first place.

It’s hilarious that all these Redpillers are going on about how they can now communicate with and learn from the Chinese people they’re meeting on Red Book without ever considering why they couldn’t meet those Chinese people on Tik Tok in the first place and coming to the conclusion that this shows that it was the U.S. govt that was bad…

Yeah, the lack of logical thinking in this one instance and your response to it only adds to the evidence that your generation is cooked.
> Because newer GPUs have independent thread scheduling
I assume you mean at the warp level. The threads are not independent and there are many shaders you can write to prove this fact.

I agree that statically proving that something like the syncing is unnecessary can only be a good thing.

The question of why not simply take your GPU code and transpile to CPU code is more of the question of what did you originally lose in writing the GPU code to begin with. If you are talking about ML work most of that is expressed a bunch of matrix operations that naturally translate to GPUs with low impedance. But other kinds of operations might be better expressed directly as CPU code (any serial operations). And for CPU to GPU the loss as you have pointed out is probably in the synchronization.
Or it was meant to be toggleable.

My dad read Atlas Shrugged when Reagan got elected, then gave it to me, and I read it too. I couldn't see any way that it was relevant to the society that I lived in.

I didn't get through the Speech.

Later on, I met someone who taught college, and used Atlas Shrugged as a required reading for his course. I asked him if he had actually gotten through the Speech, and he admitted that he had not.

It’s also the hallmark of successful cults. Internally consistent is not a virtue. It helps, but it’s insufficient on its own. And kind of dangerous in isolation of other positive qualities.
The Ambrahamic faiths are arguably some of the most "mature" ideologies in existence, and I don't think any (secular) religious scholar would describe them as self-consistent.

(This isn't a slight: responsa are a normal thing in every world religion. But the idea that self-consistency happens when an ideology becomes mature doesn't seem especially borne out.)
For what reason
I dunno, it feels pretty normal to be upset when a government which ostensibly represents me does something that I feel is actively against my interests.

I don't think that you have to decry every horrible thing in the world to be upset when folks do things that you don't like to you.
I find this nicely captures the difference between "rationality" and "reasonableness". A system can be rational but rest on unreasonable assumptions; a system may not be entirely rational but at least can have reasonable assumptions.
What if you take a fallen branch from someone’s yard when they aren’t going to use it for something? Dealing with edge cases where maybe theft isn’t theft is why we have a court system.

Survival of the fittest is the flawed quote, usually used by those with supremacist conceptual frameworks (that there can be an objective “better”, etc). This shows up a lot in fiction, where the quote is used as justification for cruelty, atrocities, and the like.

IMHO, the much better quote is:

> It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.

> To be pointed about it, I have people in my family who are special needs. I myself was disruptive in school because of life circumstance. When you advocate literally for imprisoning me and members of my family, at some point I have to recognize we're fighting. I've reached that point now.

This upsets me. Have you, this whole time, only been arguing for your in-group? Every time you said, "what is best for society," did you really just mean what is best for the people you care about? I, too, want what is best for my in-group, but I've tried to talk about how ranking/expulsions/etc. would increase wealth generation, and improve everyone's quality of life.

Quite frankly, your in-group needs my in-group, not the other way around. If we really are just trying to capture value for our in-groups, people in mine could just give up on public schools and go home-school their kids. I don't think this is optimal for either of our in-groups, but you have to acknowledge that if you want certain people to go to public school, you can't be defecting against those very people! If we really do have a conflict between two in-groups, why do you feel entitled to anything from the other side?

You've mentioned the school->prison pipeline, and how a lack of education brings out the pitchforks and torches. This is entirely true on the other side as well. As you saw in the comment section, a lot of smart people literally feel like school was prison to them. They were bullied, abused, had no freedom, etc. We've both acknowledged that bad students may become disaffected with school and society (if we don't rehabilitate properly), but only I've seemed to recognize that good students will too. Perhaps the difference is, disaffected bad students become violent, while disaffected good students become quantitative traders. Well, guess what? If your entitlement comes through a threat of violence, the correct response is to eliminate that threat.

Maybe you are alright with threatening violence, but I'd rather we not fight. And we don't have to. Society holds itself together through mutually beneficial deals (and a plethora of convenient lies). The minimum I'm asking for is for public schools to be mutually beneficial. This is why, although I think it is best for society to put extra resources into their top stuents, I am okay spending only equal resources.

From https://atproto.com/specs/handle
section "HTTPS well-known Method"

It is unclear where the handle query goes

However, you don't need a document per day. It can be dynamically generated by a handler or server less function on that route. This is important as employees at an org change, this information could be obtained from a database

You can for example: `curl https://verdverm.bsky.social/.well-known/atproto-did`

So for an organization, one might have a single handler responding to `*.atproto.company.com/.well-known/atproto-did` with the subdomain becoming the primary input variable

There is good likelihood that given recent layoffs, pool of available American workers is likely higher. H1B reforms are definitely necessary.

>> H1B holders are not allowed to switch jobs. The process requires a lawyer, ~$6k, months, and friendly intent from the old employer.

This is actually not true. You can switch jobs. Your new employer will take care of lawyer, fees, and has to have positive intent. Doesn't matter what old employer wants. I don't know how long it takes these days, but used to be fairly quick with premium processing.

I'm not disagreeing H1B abuse doesn't exist, but I can assure you its not everyone. What percentage of H1Bs are underpaid and which companies are to be blamed, I leave that to data.
True, but it still makes sense to reason about them this way. Say you have an HTTP server:

- on start: start the server

- on stop: do nothing, because you are already terminating the server

But suppose you need to perform an additional task when the server is terminated. That is where you would add a ExecStop command or script.

I was planning on buying the highest trim '24 Prius prime but availability and dealership markup made it unreasonable even in a large city. The lower trims didn't seem worth it. Instead I bought a used '23 model 3 long range with every upgrade (accel & fsd) and still saved money. Car had a few thousand miles.

I'm super happy I didn't get the Prius. Spec wise the Tesla is superior. Driving our other ice car is less enjoyable for me now. I use 120v but I work from home so it works. I still like the Prius/RAV4 prime but at its price point and limited availability I just don't see the value over Tesla.
Are you talking about how the CVT transmission sounds?
Interesting. I read The Fountainhead and, while I found the idealogy reprehensible and the moralism patronizing, I was very entertained -- cartoonish characters, plenty of action. I haven't tried Atlas Shrugged; thanks for giving me another reason not to waste time on it.
The "vibe" of Atlas Shrugged (other than "fucking boring") is pretty much "Insecure guy who wears a suit to high-school and is on the debate team" or I guess more simply "Ben Shapiro".

So yeah, I guess so.
Sure but what would that have to do with this action here?

TikTok isn’t being banned because of free speech or not but because the usage of their algorithms allows the app to influence how Americans think about different issues. China has recognized this as a threat and as such has banned foreign adversary social media companies from operating within its borders.

Likewise the United States has recognized that this is a serious threat as well and has sought to do the same.

Both countries claim to want to defend their systems of governments so it stands to reason they are just taking reciprocal actions here.

The “free speech” angle is just Chinese propaganda. We stop businesses from operating in the United States all the time and sanction companies and stop them from doing business within our financial network all the time. TikTok is just some random company and we can stop it from doing business here. Free speech isn’t a meaningful discussion point here.

Ayn Rand’s books have a cult following, tied closely to a specific political ideology and resonating with aspects of American national identity, particularly its celebration of individualism. However, they present a naive vision of the world, lacking nuance when it comes to morality and human complexity. Human flaws are conveniently absent in her protagonists, while the antagonists are comically incompetent and stupid.

The greatest flaw, to me, is that the triumphs of her characters rely on a world constructed entirely within the books - a world of perfect meritocracy where individual brilliance overcomes all. This creates a circular argument: the virtues the books champion succeed only within the fabricated conditions of Rand's universe, making their application to the real world highly questionable.

California's a rich state; $30B isn't totally beyond what they could extract from local industry in a year. I'm sure they'd prefer to be bailed out, but as a non-California taxpayer, I'd want any federal bailout to come with conditions that would help prevent recurrence: restricting building in dangerous areas, requirements around relaxing SFH zoning in safe areas so that developers can infill housing and meet CA's housing needs.

I basically do think that at some threshold it's important to weigh your time against negative impacts. I personally avoid taking flights whenever I can because of the climate and think that's worth my time relative to the emissions saved, but I also never worry about optimizing the energy use of my digital clock because that would take too much time relative to the emissions I could save. ChatGPT exists somewhere between those two things, and my argument in the post is that it's much closer to the digital clock.
The libertarian right has been supplanted by the authoritarian right. It’s a bit too late to try to bring Ayn Rand back.

If you can't recoup that by selling the drug, developing drugs is not sustainable and will not happen. And the US is really the only country where you can sell for substantially more than manufacturing cost.

What you are saying has nothing to do with local, but has to do with large abrupt changes in electricity usage, and datacenter electricity usage is generally more predictible and smooth than most other industry.
Caveat: You own your identity only as long as you use did:web, and did:web is not much different from webfinger, which is what activitypub uses.

To clarify, the alternative (and default) is to use did:plc, which utilizes Bluesky (the company’s) centralized identity server. It isn’t possible to use other plc servers with any of the Bluesky clients either. Therefore, if you use did:plc it’s simple to get kicked off of.
As others have pointed out, the drugs on this list go into effect in 2027, which is after the EU semaglutide patents expire (2026), so that might be a pretty compelling reason for semaglutide pricing to be more flexible than tirzepatide.

> The real kicker is that for some brands/doses the price doesn't vary whether you get more or less of the drug - so people end up asking to for a prescription to the highest dose off-label and then split the dose themselves.

FWIW, I'm paying cash buying it directly from Lily, and they charge $400/mo for the 2.5mg dose and $550/mo for the 5mg dose. So, some price differentiation between dose sizes, but not linear.

NASA's 2-year cert for electronics requirement is puzzling. I understand rules about mission critical electronics: you want to (a) depend on it and (b) avoid fire, magic smoke, and blowing breakers on the Station. But for a non-critical application, you don't care about (a) and the risk of (b) from a 5V/2A microcontroller with a worm drive motor seems reasonably remote.
My biggest annoyance is "systemctl status" gives you just enough of the service's log to make the output take up most of the terminal each time you run it but never enough of the service's log to get a useful picture of what's actually happened with the service lately.

Not to mention unless the problem with the service completely prevented it from running (it advises some commands to run in that case) you're supposed to just always remember "journalctl -xeu $SERVICE" was the incantation, less you want to go look up the flags again or manually parse the entire "journalctl" output.

Overall I generally like systemd though. The syntax can just be a burden sometimes.
