It's definitely an under-explored area of business but I don't see why there couldn't be a scalable "co-operative" form of banking that could serve this need. Something like a credit union, which distributes the risk of investment among members without some added overhead that goes to investors. As pointed out in another reply, there are European countries with more established co-operative practices in agriculture and other larger industries and I believe this is partially due to sources of capital that are made available by the state for projects like this, so it is a form of co-operative/socialist investment.
> For example, as pointed out (and as Greg ignored), the kernel is replete with macros--a poor substitute for genuine generic programming that offers no type safety and the ever-present possibility for unintended side effects

I never thought I would say that C++ would be an improvement, but I really have to agree with that.

Simply adopting the generic programming bits with type safety without even objects, exceptions, smart pointers, etc. would be a huge step forward and a lot less disruptive than a full step towards Rust.
I've still never heard a satisfactory explanation for how in the hell two parts of a bone, broken such that they aren't even touching, can find their way back to each other and heal. My son broke his collar bone, and the hospital sent him home in a sling. When I looked at the x-ray, I couldn't believe that's the correct treatment. But a month or two later and he was good as new. Absolutely blows my mind every time I think of it.
Also went through this book recently and I agree with you. I found it difficult to build a working LLM using the code snippets included in the book.
All of the checks and balances are kind of predicated on the idea that each arm of government who actually bother to protect their own powers, and use those powers to rein in misbehaviour of the other branches.

But both congress and the supreme courts seem to have decided that personal ideological principles are more important than the maintenance of the U.S. democratic foundations. The Supreme Court has basically ruled that the president is above the law, and congress has refused to use its powers of impeachment to prevent the president from running roughshod over congresses laws.

Nixon wasn’t shamed into doing anything, he was threatened with very credible impeachment, and decided that getting out fast on his own two feet, was better than being taken out slow by the ankles via impeachment. But the modern Republicans have demonstrated time and time again, that as long as they’re “winning”, they don’t give two hoots how much damage they do to US democracy.

>Telling others how to run their own company feels strange, especially given how Musk led two companies to great success.

Only if you care about your TSLA shares. I can say he's done an awful job from a quality and worker standpoint just fine.

>With what authority or credentials do you say that?

Being (or striving to being) a moral human being.

>You are free to short Tesla stock if you truly believe that.

1. I'm not a fan of gambling with monopoly money

2. How does that even work? Shorting is predicting it falls and comes back up. I do not predict that. I know that TSLA is a meme stock held up my Musk's personality. THe moment he's out of the governmental picture it will fall. The moment he steps down it'll fall like a rock. If it falls a lot, it's not coming back up for a decade+, assuming the new owners are even interested in long term value.

>A lot of people work multiple jobs and are hired while being transparent about them. I don't see a problem with that if their superiors are okay with it.

The superior's superior is us. I'm not okay with the blatant conflict of interest. Carter over 50 years ago had to sell off his peanut farm to tale office. Musk meanwhile is geting government contacts while slashing others. It's so blatant.

>He lead SpaceX and Tesla to great success, so a lot of people think he has proven that he can multitask successfully.

And the employee accounts I read lead me to believe they had to work around Musk, not with Musk. The moment he goes hands on he does the same song and dance; recklessly fire a bunch of people who make him feel bad, scramble to try to get the best people back, and cause a lot of long term damage. He literally can't access all of his SpaceX facilities because he's not classified.

It's sad this propaganda that "he did and lead this" works so well even on other people in tech when these stories have been out there for decades.

> 2% of global data center capacity

Let’s call the dollars per square foot the “cost density”. The claim you are repeating from the interview I mentioned is that SG data centers have an unusually high cost density.

What could account for that? It might be that there is a very expensive item (a state of the art GPU for example) taking up that space.

Another option, as I mentioned above, is that these GPUs are running inference in Malaysia which is right across the river.

The CPU/SOC operates independently with limited protocols (such as PCIe, NVMe, etc.). In contrast, a baseband processor must communicate with various base stations and core networks, requiring precise timing, physical signal alignment, and correct message formats. Even though the 3GPP defines mobile network standards, achieving full compatibility remains extremely challenging.
Speaking of interesting bits, this machine isn't actually an 8-bit computer, the CPU is 16-bit. (The video controller is 8-bit though, i.e. the VRAM data bus is 8-bits. It's also the same video controller used in various other machines, e.g. MSX.)

I think that series touches on his book "The road to Unfreedom," and he also did a full reading/discussion of his book "On Tyranny."

He also posted a lecture series on the history of Ukraine. I think he did a video called "How could the holocaust have happen," which was unfortunately informative.

A couple of weeks ago I interviewed at a place where I had to do a take-home exercise. It's fine, I don't mind. No Leetcode. Just my own IDE, my own shortcuts, and write a piece code that solves a problem.

I was asked whether I used AI/LLM for the solution. I didn't. I felt like using an LLM to solve the problem for me wasn't the right way of showcasing knowledge. The role was for some form of 'come in with knowledge and help us'.

The response to that was basically: everybody here uses AI.

I declined the follow-up interview, as I felt that if all you have is the speed of AI to be ahead of your competitors, you're not really building the kind of things that I want to be a part of. It basically implies that the role is up in the air as soon as the AI gets better.
That was part of it. Another part was it being socially awkward in a way that I think outsourcing testing needn't be.
Executive Orders were meant to give instructions to the executive branch on how to “faithfully execute the law”. They turned into — through several presidents, a way to bind the executive branch to a particular way of interpreting the law —- or in some cases —- making law out of whole cloth.

Trump is continuing this trend, and while we should all be concerned as to where he takes it, congress and the judiciary share the blame for not reigning in prior presidents.
I think I'd be interested in revisiting this idea.

* Digital nomad visas only last 1-2 years. I assumed I'd need something more if I were to pick up my life and move somewhere... I suppose I could just live on the edge and not forget about renewing? Netherlands has an MVV thing, but it's tied up in some paperwork. There's a list of digital nomad places on Google, such as Spain. I'm wondering about renewal though, is 1 year stay enough? should i place my bets that it is renewed?

Yeah, there's a bit of a prisoner's dilemma there too. If everyone agreed not to use the thing then everyone would be better off (assuming this is what the author is suggesting), but individually you're better off using it in either scenario.

There are plenty of cold mountains almost everywhere, if that's really decisive.
Ostensibly, this EO is meant to remove power from bureaucratically controlled agencies in the government. The right have been complaining that real power has been usurped from the institutions mentioned in the constitution, and centered in a professional managerial class, that works below the surface, and has no culpability or exposure to voters.

That's all massively up for debate obviously, but this EO seems to be aimed square at that "problem".
> What problem, other than judicial review, does it solve for the executive branch?

It’s fairly obvious on its face the concern of the EO is not judicial review but about agencies that nominally are past of the branch the President heads determining interpretations of law contrary to what the head of the executive desires.

And, it does genuinely seem weird to have an executive branch where the head of that branch doesn’t actually control things.

The negative reaction is entirely because of the current executive head, but no one would bat an eye if this were Barack Obama reigning in some executive agency interpreting, say, immigration law in opposition to DACA.
It wasn’t quite bipartisan. Only a minority of democrats in the house (108 of 258) voted for nafta for example. Large swaths of the Democratic Party opposed free trade until Obama.

>the employees were fired in error.

Gee, almost like there should be a process to fire public employees instead of treating it like a private business.

They did this multiple times with other adminsitrations (the DoE as an example) so I'm not giving the benefit of the doubt.
> It goes against the foundation of not only US law, but couple of hundred years of international democratic tradition in which allegiance is not to a person, but to the nation itself.

Yes. It does.

But there is an older Big Man tradition where loyalty to the nation is indistinguishable from loyalty to the person, the Big Man).

I naively thought that that was a stage that democracies passed through (we see it a lot in the South Pacific - the Big Man.

So sad. So terribly sad. We all like to tease Americans for being this and that, but now it feels like punching down.

> anything beyond trivial using Go generics

This is the first complaint that I have heard about Go generics on this board. I believe you. Can you share a specific example? It might spur some interesting discussion.
Weirdly aggressive, but fair enough.
It gets way weirder.

The TMS9900 didn't have any internal data registers. It only had a program counter, a status register, and a workspace pointer. Instead, it put the "registers" in that same 256 bytes of RAM. There were sixteen 16-bit registers which the workspace pointer pointed to.

The original idea was that this made for fast context switches, instead of dumping all registers to stack (it doesn't even have a stack pointer), just update the workspace pointer to point at a new set. But I have to assume this wasn't really used on the TI-99/4A, as there just wasn't enough RAM. Because your only other ram was locked behind the video controller, that 256 bytes had to contain all your registers, any your dynamically loaded code and any data you wanted rapid access to.

The TMS9900 is weird, because it's the only CPU of the early home computer era that wasn't designed for microcomputers. It's actually an implementation of the TI-990 mini-computer on a single chip and is actually used in later versions of the minicomputer. Those minicomputers had more than enough fast 16-bit memory to take advantage of this fast context switching.

Every other commonly used microprocessor of the 70s (8080, 6800, F8, 6502, RCA1802, Z80, 6809, 8086, 68000) was explicitly designed to target the low-cost microcomputer market.

>So the solution to school inequality should have been to enshrine both income inequality and real estate segregation in education funding policy?

Enshrine is a strong word, but yes, I think it basically broke the incentive structure for supporting the system. Regarding housing costs, I think they have far more to do with NIMBY and construction hostile policy.

High property tax doesn't really help housing affordability. High tax means sale prices are somewhat lower, but Mortgages would stabilize at the same value (just with a higher proportion being tax) unless you actually add more units.
Double agree. If Java was the right choice 10-15 years ago for cheap enterprise apps, then certainly NodeJS is the way to go today. There are heaps of cheap developers and the ecosystem is ginormous.

No, that's not how the Apple Silicon works - it was at the very start, but the processor cores haven't been based on Arm IP since the A6, since then the Arm designed cores were replaced with fully custom cores that are just compatible with the Arm instruction set.

Same with the GPU except that was later on - it was a licensed PowerVR IP until Apple started using their own custom GPU from the A11.

While multinationals are investing elsewhere in SE Asia to serve SE Asian markets, I'm not seeing them move their HQs out of Singapore though, because they don't trust the Malaysian/Thai/Indonesian legal system and regulatory environment.

"Rust also gives us the ability to define our in-kernel apis in ways that make them almost impossible to get wrong when using them.

There might not be end-to-end hand-holding for how to do it, but all of the needed tools are documented, and each one is individually supported. All you are doing is using clang to build a binary -- the same way you would build a binary in any other circumstance -- placing it into a .app container, code-signing it, and zipping the result to get your .ipa file.

The codesign tool is documented and clearly supported by Apple, as is the manual provisioning portal, itself a website clearly designed for people to directly futz with. There is copious documentation on how to use clang, as well as on how .app bundles are organized.

The only even sort of awkward thing -- like the closest you can get to an argument that any of this "isn't officially supported" -- is some awkward keys you have to place in your Info.plist... but like, that's it (and for all I know it is, too, documented somewhere... I haven't ever looked as it was just a few lines of XML to copy).

Even the tool for uploading your build to the App Store without using Xcode--the one step that I'd agree might feel off the beaten path if you have never tried to look into how to do it before--is fully documented by Apple.

https://help.apple.com/itc/transporteruserguide/en.lproj/sta...

Yes: you have to know how to put the steps into order, but it is a stretch to say it isn't officially supported as Apple clearly is not merely not rejecting people who do this... they are going out of their way to support all of this tooling. They could have only provided a way to do this in Xcode, but they didn't.

As for "being on your own"... that's software development! We might as well claim there is not only no officially supported way to build a C/C++ command line tool, or even a JavaScript-enabled website, as there is no official upstream. Yet, on the other side, there are numerous supported ways to build such programs in myriad frameworks, some more difficult than or with more build steps than others, each supported by the open source community.

If you don't know how to build a binary, how to make a .app folder, how to run codesign, or how to use Transporter, maybe your fancy LLM can do it for you? Isn't that what people are using them for anyway? To quickly generate and manage all of the boilerplate of a project? I bet it can even help you set up Bazel (though I recommend just using GNU Make, as it really isn't difficult to hand-build a binary).
