I agree with you, and I don’t know where on that line the Columbia student with a green card that was detained falls, but I will say there were plenty of protestors in the US who were supportive of Hamas. There was a group in Chicago, for example, that adopted the imagery of a hang glider on their protest posters, which were used in the Oct 7 terrorist attacks. So I would not be surprised if he did express support for Hamas, but I of course believe in innocent until proven guilty, and would like the government to have to show evidence of that if true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Aurelius

> He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty, the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD. He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161.

> ...

> The historian Herodian wrote:

> Alone of the emperors, he gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life.

> ...

> The number and severity of persecutions of Christians in various locations of the empire seemingly increased during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. The extent to which the emperor himself directed, encouraged, or was aware of these persecutions is unclear and much debated by historians. The early Christian apologist Justin Martyr includes within his First Apology (written between 140 and 150) a letter from Marcus Aurelius to the Roman Senate (prior to his reign) describing a battlefield incident in which Marcus believed Christian prayer had saved his army from thirst when "water poured from heaven" after which, "immediately we recognized the presence of God." Marcus goes on to request the Senate desist from earlier courses of Christian persecution by Rome.

----

He was considered to be a good emperor.
Let's just be clear. It's not just that a roman emperor is the premier famous stoic.

It's also that the Romans were instrumental in setting up Christianity and Judaism as exportable religions, after they completely destroyed Jerusalem in the Judaic wars.

https://www.mayimachronim.com/the-caesar-who-saved-judaism/

Marcus Aurelius was very close with Judah ha Nasi (the Prince) and the Gamaliel family. Subsequent Roman emperors also helped boost the churches and make Christianity a religion that wasn't just for Jews.

Judaism and Christianity were based in Jerusalem. Afterwards, Judaism was based in Babylon (really old schools that had been established during the first exile of Jews, survived and became primary). Meanwhile, Christianity moved to Rome (which became primary over the main church in Jerusalem). It grew there until Constantine made it the official state religion 300 years later.

The Judaic wars is probably the reason why Jesus' own direct students and the Church he set up in Jerusalem (with his brother James and "Peter" as the "Rock on which the Church would be built" and also the "Apostle to the Gentiles") were marginalized (probably regarded as ebionites / judaizers).

Then Paul became the main "Apostle to the Gentiles" instead, even though he himself admits he never learned from Jesus' students, but argued with them instead (including Peter). He has a chip on his shoulder about these "super-apostles". In Acts 15 and 21, Paul is admonished by them and seems to relent, being given an official letter to distribute to gentile churches. But in his Galatians letter he claims that they added nothing to his message, except to remember the poor, something he was going to do anyway. Thomas Jefferson called Paul the "great corruptor of Christianity". Most of the New Testament is based on writings of Paul and his student Luke.

So in fact, Roman emperors picked and chose winners in the global religions that became Orthodox Judaism and Christianity.

Plato is generally considered to be the archetype of early dualism. What are your credentials?
If you read Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy, he takes rather dim view of Marcus Aurelius, and specifically doubts the seriousness of his writings and ideas, considering them somewhat dubious.

There's a lot in just the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Aurelius

But be aware that most writings about him are roman, and hence state propaganda which glorify his actions. In order to see more clearly what his actions were, just imagine being their victim. He perpetrated a genocide against Germanic tribes in retribution.

It's very hard to be a morally good roman emperor -- you can be seen as good by either the plebs or the elite of roman society, but not by nearly anyone else, and almost never by both even in rome.

I don't think its any accident the elite of concequering empires adopted this mentality. Though, no doubt, there were originally honest/moral/good stoic-philosophers they did create a kind of "retreat from the world dissociation" which isn't in my view, itself good. It's therapeutic in some situations, typically in cases of grief/loss/extreme-attachement --- but outside of these cases, you want to associate and attach.

Perhaps there's some case for a little stocisim in the face of social media today, or in the kinds of "adversarial environments" which exploit your attachment -- such as leading an empire (cf. Machiavelli: leaders have to be rutheless). There's possibly an argument that twitter turns everyone into a viperous courterier looking to attack each other's reputation and attachemnt-bait.

Who said it was easy? I'm saying they are not giving it enough respect because of the attitude of "it's only a test". That's bad. It's still expensive to get to that point. They have become complacent/lazy with the luxury of being able to iterate. Rather than spending money on engineering testing, they just build "real things" that don't work and improve the failed things. Never mind that if procedure 10 failed, you never get to test procedure 11+. So your next launch fails at procedure 11. It's just a bad attitude.
One underappreciated feature of S3 - that allowed it to excel in workloads like the Tables feature described in the article - is that it's able to function as the world's highest throughout network filesystem. And you don't have to do anything to configure it (as the article points out). By storing data on S3, you get to access the full cross-sectional bandwidth of EC2, which is colossal. For effectively all workloads, you will max out your network connection before S3's. This enables workloads that can't scale anywhere else. Things like data pipelines generating unplanned hundred-terabit-per-second traffic spikes with hotspots that would crash any filesystem cluster I've ever seen. And you don't have to pay a lot for it- once you're done using the bandwidth, you can archive the data elsewhere or delete it.
Unfortunately, they don’t respond to their job ads. Probably get too many responses.

I don’t need to feel personal guilt about something outside of my control in order to 1) recognize problems in the world, 2) want the factors causing those problems to change, and 3) actively work to change them.

And for many people, feeling guilt - especially for things outside of their control - is absolutely paralyzing and leads to the opposite of action.

It seems pretty extreme to say that her livelihood was in jeopardy given that her salary was probably an order of magnitude more than an average worker. She likely put up with that and other toxic behavior because she was highly ambitious and wanted to keep making immense amounts of money.

This doesn't excuse Sandberg at all, I'm sure she would be a horrifically bad person to work for. But when I read that section I immediately thought of highly ambitious people I've worked with who I could see on either side of that encounter. Such people often are highly materially successful, although most of them don't seem very happy about it.

>I'm sure millions of people make unregulated sandwiches at home just fine.

If someone makes a sandwich for themselves incentives are aligned to prevent unhygienic practices. I'm not going to cut corners to maximize some different measure. If some restaurant produces food for me, they are incentivized to maximize profit margin, which is not directly aligned with my desire for non-dangerous food.
It's a creative thought. But how do you define "market", and which market applies to which profit?

Also, if you invent something so novel it makes a new market, that would imply you are immediately taxed at 100%.
I don't think AMD really uses the name "Strix Halo" to market it to a large audience, it's just an internal codename. Just two other recent internal names are "Hawk Point" and "Dragon Range" internally, where Hawk and Dragon are names that MSI and PowerColor use to market GPUs as as well. Heck, PowerColor even exclusively sells AMD cards under the "Red Dragon" name!

AMD's marketing names for especially their mobile chips are just so deliberately confusing that it makes way more sense for press and enthusiasts to keep referring to it by its internal code name than whatever letter/number/AI nonsense AMD's marketing department comes up with.

Your perceptions of stoicism are so detatched from mine, I have to ask, what does stoicism mean to you? The wikipedia entry describes it like this:

"The Stoics believed that the practice of virtue is enough to achieve eudaimonia: a well-lived life. The Stoics identified the path to achieving it with a life spent practicing the four cardinal virtues in everyday life — prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice — as well as living in accordance with nature"

Which seems pretty close to how I understand it, and it seems a pretty reasonably approach to life.

But this wikipeida version seems very far from your description of "a deeply hollow, dissociative, nihilistic philosophy which dresses up the status quo as 'God's plan' -- a rationalization of interest to the elite above all others."

The next most famous stoic would then be Epictetus who influenced Marcus Aurelius and is cited in the Meditations.

> Epictetus (/ˌɛpɪkˈtiːtəs/, EH-pick-TEE-təss; Ancient Greek: Ἐπίκτητος, Epíktētos; c. 50 – c. 135 AD) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was born into slavery at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present-day Pamukkale, in western Turkey) and lived in Rome until his banishment, when he went to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece, where he spent the rest of his life.

> Epictetus studied Stoic philosophy under Musonius Rufus and after manumission, his formal emancipation from slavery, he began to teach philosophy. Subject to the banishment of all philosophers from Rome by Emperor Domitian toward the end of the first century, Epictetus founded a school of philosophy in Nicopolis. Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not simply a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; he argues that we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. However, he held that individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

Stoicism was a philosophy that spanned slave to emperor in Rome.
Why am I writing a JavaScript toolchain in Zig? (2021)
I've never seen a good technical comparison showing what's new between "Unified Memory" vs traditional APUs/iGPUs memory subsystems laptops have had for over a decade, only comparisons to dGPU setups which are rarer in laptops. The biggest differences comparing Apple Silicon or Strix Halo to their predecessors seems to be more about the overall performance scale, particularly of the iGPU, than the way memory is shared. Articles and blogposts most commonly reference:

- The CPU/GPU memory are shared (does not have to be dedicated to be used by either).

- You don't need to copy data in memory to move it between the CPU/GPU.

- It still uses separate caches for the CPU & GPU but the two are able to talk to each other directly on the same die instead of an external bus.

But these have long been true of traditional APUs/iGPUs, not new changes. I did even see some claims Apple put the memory on die too and that's what makes it unified but checking that it seems to still actually be "on package", which isn't unique either, and it wouldn't explain any differences in access patterns anyways. I've been particularly confused as to why Strix Halo would now qualify as having Unified Memory when it doesn't seem anything is different than before, save the performance.

If anyone has a deeper understanding of what's new in the Unified Memory approach it'd be appreciated!

There's ample legal precedent in the federal system that a green card holder is a "US Person" for many things related to the federal government. For instance, a green card holder can form a corporation, own an FFL, register it with the ATF, become an FFL 02/07 (firearms manufacturer), and even become a SOT (special occupational taxpayer), to manufacture, buy and sell NFA items (silencers). The corporation owned by the permanent resident can even manufacture post-1986 full auto ATF-defined "machine guns", to be retained/owned by the company, as manufacturer samples for demos and sales to law enforcement within the USA.

Permanent Residents are also treated as a "US Person" for the purposes of FAA pilot licensing, up to the largest categories of multi-engine jet transport aircraft.

This doesn't address what recently happened with one specific Permanent Resident that's been in the news, but it's a very chilling effect if suddenly green card status people don't have the right to the 1st amendment.
But the industry has a business model and if the margins are slim enough the model doesn't work and the industry collapses.

Think about a drive through that serves three rushes in a day, people driving to work, people on theyr lunch break, and people driving home.

If each rush is an hour long how many people would need to DDOS the drive through with frivolous complaints and time wasting bullshit like 'oh let me find my change, just a second... Oops I dropped it sorry, let me get that... Oh I can't open my door can you be a dear and send someone outside to get it?' to completely disrupt the entire rush and therefoe the vital flow of cash?

The bigs used to be great for this: the two problems a Googler manager has with talent management is A) motivating people who won't do work because they know they won't advance B) trying to placate people who work hard, when there's no significant reward for it, for years, and social mores mean there's no polite way to explain why.

Past that, and assuming you can just get a job wherever, I'd wonder why you want to actively not advance. You can't really say this to a manager with a straight face without getting "tsk tsk'd", even when everyone knows there's no real room for it. It'd get dissembled into not having a growth mindset or whatever if its actively voiced.

If you're looking for stability and WLB, my understanding of Amazon/FB from Googlers was they were somewhat ruthless in turning people over, and that's certainly gotten worse. And now it's happening at Google too, there's a defacto quota of ~10% of people who need to get hassled early. And it wasn't fair or rational necessarily who was.

Stoicism has 2 main advantages over other philosophies:

* it’s practical. It involves doing things that work and will improve you life, make it clearer what you want and make it easier to do things and generally not waste your time or money

* it’s true in a trial and error, scientific sense. Stoicism concentrates on what works and is applicable. Beleifs come from life experience. Most other philosophies START with arbitrary beliefs and then expect you to live according to them whether they work or not.
