What if one of your online friends dies unexpectedly?
My guess is that it probably has more to do with the fact that Dimon probably has an entire floor all to himself with all kinds of customized artwork, couches, lounge chairs etc, with personal assistants, likely a private elevator, maybe even a private chef or personal catering everyday etc. He doesn’t have to deal with fighting for conference rooms, loud office mates, a shitty cubicle, etc.

Dimon’s office is likely bigger and nicer than most of his employees homes, so of course he doesn’t mind working from there.
Governments did this.
I thought this too but at this point I've been subscribed well over a year. On a typical workday I might use 20+ searches, but I frequently use little to no searches on weekends and holidays, etc. Ultimately I end up using right around 300 per month (averaged out across the year), so I think their pricing isn't as wild as it initially looks.
Are you joking? It is a rate. It is cited in per 100,000 because that is the characteristic rate that results in low integer-scale values. Rates are scale-invariant so you could just as well cite it in per 1,000 if you desire, but then you get a fire fatality rate of 0.0085 per 1,000 for the Pinto which is a much more annoying number to understand and compare for regular people.

Frankly, it would have been better to just cite the inverse of 1 fire fatality per ~8609.5 Cybertrucks (I already discounted the suicide) versus the 1 fire fatality per ~117,536 Pintos. Does that help you understand the usage and comparison of rates?

> I suppose PhDs can get a shortcut into Prinicple or Senior roles, so there's some tangible benefit.

I don't think that's a thing. Some government job will use a pay scale that varies based on your education level, but fast-tracking someone in software engineering because they got a PhD seems questionable seeing as the skillset does not really overlap.

It's a different thing for corporate research labs, where usually you need a masters for entry-level and PhD for the level above.

I mean, yeah, if you not picking up a phone call from Jamie freaking Dimon during working hours, that does seem messed up.

I also don't suspect these are low level people he's trying to get ahold of. One of the things I've learned about WFH is that the problems are not coming from individual contributor productivity - it's that a lot of the problems actually come from managers and executives. Either they lack the understanding of projects that are not in front of them, or they check out completely when needed.
And socialized medicine solves many of the employment-dependent privatized medicine problems! Funny world.

Been WFH for many years, but I can understand why some companies prefer (demand) in office. Sorry, but unless its written into employment law, no-one has a "right" to it.

I would think this could be a perk that companies could use to get an advantage in hiring. Although, maybe those who it appeals to on the whole may be lower performers?

You're comparing a modern microkernel to something originating from the 80s?

Keep your rude attitude to yourself.
The article fails to mention whether Scala can ensure code is deterministic and hermetic. Starlark code is deterministic and hermetic, but the article never mentions this. Unfortunately, Starlark does not have static typing, but I think types would make Starlark one of the best languages today for build configuration.

In the Clojure community, there was a huge push for "builds are programs". I somewhat agree with this assertion, but I also think "one should restrict the class of programs a build belongs to". Neither Clojure nor Scala, compared to Starlark, seem to offer a way to ensure builds belong to a deterministic subset of programs.

Thus I am still wondering "why Scala?". I have never used Scala, but reading this whole article gives me the impression that Mill is the Scala equivalent of Clojure's tools.build. That is not what I would want in a build system.
I love doing research. I published a minor unimportant paper in undergrad and had a blast doing it.

Then at graduation I was offered a well paid job in the industry. Decided to pursue it as opposed to spending 5-6 more years in academia looking for grants.

Would love to go back and get a PhD, but the economics just don't make sense for me. For now, it's a retirement plan.
It always comes down to who you compare. Most of the cited information on outcomes look at averages. US healthcare outcomes are bimodal. It is easy to sell the idea to people with poor coverage distribution. The harder sell is the people in the better distribution worried about taking a step down while carrying the cost for other people.
He earns so much money, of course he loves to work and doesn’t give a damn about people who don’t even earn a fraction of his salary. He also seems to forget that people who actually work for him bring these high profits for the company. How about being thankful for having smart employees who help you to keep your business so profitable?

If I were to get paid as much as he does, I wouldn’t even leave the office; I would sleep there.
Isn't this sort of like Ford announcing they'll just package Toyota engines into cars? I don't think anyone would call a car window dressing? Packaging has become far more than just coat chip in epoxy/plastic and bond wires onto die.
You can also waste time in an office. It doesn't make that much difference, ultimately.

What matters are deadlines and productivity. If you can be productive in less time than others then good luck to you. Wages are 'flattened' between people employed at the same level so why shouldn't the more productive workers benefit in some way.
The best config system I've ever seen used plain old Python to generate static configs. Everyone knows Python. Python is easy to do data munging in, as demonstrated by it's popularity as the #1 data science tool. There's boundless libraries to make Python more functional, use stricter typing, or reduce the amount of side effects it can cause. Even Starlark is just a dialect of Python.

You can spend decades building a complicated configuration language, use a bespoke functional language as Mill does, but if you're a single company that can enforce code quality and just wants to get the job done, I feel like everything else is just unnecessary and over-engineered to scratch some academic itch for a "better system" that enforces "purity" at the cost of velocity.

I also think that now that LLMs are on the rage, how much context do you think they have for bespoke config language vs Scala vs Python? I think we know the answer to that one.
> For a long time, well after we had a stable release, people kept claiming Asahi Linux and Fedora Asahi Remix in particular were “alpha” and “unstable” and “not suitable for a daily driver”

This is still my position on Asahi Linux: that it is not something that I would use as a daily driver nor recommend to others for use as a daily driver.

> “When is Thunderbolt coming?” “Asahi is useless to me until I can use monitors over USB-C” “The battery life sucks compared to macOS” (nobody ever complained when compared to x86 laptops…) “I can’t even check my CPU temperature” (yes, I seriously got that one).

These would be dealbreakers for me, too. To be clear, I am not saying that it is anyone's job to fix these issues for me. And this isn't meant as an attack on the Asahi Linux team - I think it's incredible what they have been able to do.

But those comments, without any larger context to demonstrate harassment or anything like that, just don't seem too bad to me. The language could be softened a bit, sure, but the criticisms themselves resonate with me and would be valid reasons to not use Asahi Linux IMO.

>Even now with Hector out of the picture, there’s still no suitable path forward for rust in Linux

The suitable path forward is to submit the patch series like normal to Linus, where it will be merged regardless of CH's NACK. CH isn't able to actually stop this process, he's just being a jerk.

However, I agree with you that it would have been nice to actually publicly clarify the situation rather than ignore it and deal with the whole thing behind closed doors. It shouldn't need to be explained that letting this sort of thing fester is a great way to kill motivation in a project and ensure it's less likely that new people will get involved.

I don't know nor do I really care what other search companies are making. I pay $10/month for Kagi because it works for me and it's good. I don't even care about Kagi as a company (I don't care about any company); their search works. It's a good product, and I'm happy to keep paying for it as long as it keeps being useful while all the free competitors are still terrible. I use about 2k searches per month.

edit: Even just the ability to rank, pin, and block domains alone is crazy useful. I never need to see Pinterest in any image search results again. If I see a crappy blog spam site, I just block it and it never shows up again. It feels like these are basic, fundamental features that every search engine should have had a long time ago. It's pretty sad that Kagi is getting so much praise for doing things that really should have been standard for at least a decade (not sad in any negative way toward Kagi, but because our standards and expectations for search have dropped this low).

This is sick, fantastic work.

I have built blind signature authentication stuff before (similar to privacy pass) and one thing I’m curious about is how you (will) handle multi device access?

I understand you probably launched with only unlimited search users in order to mitigate the same user losing access to their tokens on a different device. But any ideas for long term plans here? When I built these systems in the past, I always had to couple it with E2EE sync. Not only can that be a pain for end users, but you can also start to correlate storage updates with blind search requests.

Either case, this is amazing and I’m gonna be even more excited to not just trust Kagi, but verify that I don’t need to trust y’all. Congrats.
> Conservatives let LGBT and trans issues slide for over two decades of my adult life. But by being loud and attempting to silence them -- by harassing them -- you've become the nail that sticks out and have now created a tidal wave of opinion against us.

In the US, DADT was repealed in 2011. Obergefell was 2015. The idea that they let LGBT and trans issues slide for over 20 years is fundamentally wrong and not supported by history.

I didn't even know what the whole issue with the "thin blue line" comment was until I read this thread.

MRI are Class II devices and until last year exemptions for IDE applications and for not obtaining written informed consent specifically excluded devices that by design or intent deposit energy in humans (regardless of overall study risk. Last year the FDA finally extended some power to IRBs to harmonize with HHS research regulations which have allowed IRBs to waive consent for minimal risk studies for a long time. But FDA directing you to an IRB rather than both an IRB and the FDA itself doesn't mean you're not dealing with an IRB.

FDA and human subject protections come from different laws with different legislative authority. The regulations are not the same except to the extent that the agencies themselves work to harmonize things. If you are doing anything covered by FDA you must follow FDA's regulations in addition to any other applicable human subjects research regulations. And because MRI scanners are Class II regulated devices it means that people are being scanned with a doctor's permission, an IRB's permission or the FDA's direct permission.

FDA "doesn't care" about SAR to the extent that they have published guidance that if you operate an approved MRI scanner within normal operating mode (which are settings defined by IEC that do not necessitate medical supervision), then the FDA will not automatically consider use of the scanner itself to elevate a study's risk (in the way that using something like a CT scanner with ionizing radiation would). Risk determination goes beyond whether or not the MRI itself is a risk though. For example a research study that diverts patients to MRI in a way that delays care in an emergent situation (say testing experimental sequences for stroke detection) is unlikely to overall qualify as minimal risk even if the scanner operates in normal mode because of other non-MRI risks associated with the study procedures.

Retrospective use of de-identified or anonymized medical records that already exist are of course a different thing because the risks to the patient are primarily privacy risks.

And you are correct the actual FDA labels of all the AI crap that's coming out are jokes compared to what a lot of sales bullshitters promise. But you better believe all the data submitted to the FDA by the MRI manufacturers support their accelerated acquisitions that use deep learning recons follow FDA's clinical trials regulations.
It's kind of a catch-22 though, isn't it? If people rarely need the documentation, there are few incentives to streamline the process for getting it.

Chances are your CPA was not correct. CPAs routinely violate the law as a regular course of duty and the IRS is fine with it, even encourages it, because it gives them more revenue.

I asked it a question that's pretty subjective and culturally specific, and I appreciate that I got a reasonable answer back. The question was "should I?" and the answer was "definitely, don't miss it" in three different ways. However, I found that the literal sources it quoted didn't have the same opinion it expressed to me so convincingly. I asked a clarifying question and it goes "okay so I read the material, and it actually says it's optional".

So why not read the material? I wonder if it could even embed the website in the results, giving the website the traffic and ad space. I wonder if a meta browser is a better product for these tools.

> This is what privatization does.

This is what regulatory capture does. It may be so-called "private" but the government still wants to regulate it up the wazoo, in all the wrong ways. This prevents new businesses from making things better.

> a single payer system makes way more sense.

If the single payer is the very same government then it becomes incentivized to bring the regulation in line to something more sensible. Of course, if the single payer is a separate entity that won't necessarily happen. For example: Amish communities in the US often administer a single payer system, but they haven't been able to fix the situation.
