And again efficiency is important but EVs won't succeed unless they can include inefficient vehicles that are a necessity or a strong preference for many buyers, which is why 250kW+ charging stations are important if the US is ever going to adopt EVs as a full ICE replacement.

If I need a truck with an 8 foot bed and a body-on-frame vehicle to carry building supplies to my commercial property that I own across state lines and it currently gets 20mpg using the most advanced ICE technology on the market, I'm going to need 250kW+ chargers available if I'm ever going to replace that vehicle with an EV. Doubly so if I need to tow a trailer.
I think you are presenting a romanticized fictional narrative, especially when it comes to aerospace.

When engineers were working on Apollo and lunar landers, they were working on a set of customer requirements a mile long. Roving tinkerers didn't build the moon rockets. Engineers spent countless hours in design reviews with the customer, in this case, NASA.

Roman engineers didn't build aqueducts and colosseums on a lark, or some sense of poetic destiny.

We can squabble over definitions, but a primary characteristic of Platonism for many people is the belief in a (separate) domain of ideals/concepts. That e.g. mathematical objects exist outside of our individual cognition. That's more dualistic than monistic.

I really want LPDDR5X (and future better versions) to become standard on desktops, alongside faster and more-numerous memory controllers to increase overall bandwidth. Why hasn't CAMM gotten anywhere?

I also really want an update to typical form factors and interconnects of desktop computers. They've been roughly frozen for decades. Off the top of my head:

- Move to single-voltage power supplies at 36-57 volts.

- Move to bladed power connectors with fewer pins.

- Get rid of the "expansion card" and switch to twinax ribbon interconnects.

- Standardize on a couple sizes of "expansion socket" instead, putting the high heat-flux components on the bottom side of the board.

- Redesign cases to be effectively a single ginormous heatsink with mounting sockets to accept things which produce heat.

- Kill SATA. It's over.

- Use USB-C connectors for both power and data for internal peripherals like disks. Now there's no difference between internal and external peripherals.

I'm certainly not rich or powerful, but I have found Stoicism to be extremely helpful. It is hard to always bear it in mind when in times of stress, but when I can, it really does help to focus on the idea that what matters is not my external circumstances, but my own actions and thoughts. It reframes things and helps me to feel better about unpleasant situations I might find myself in.

I also would say that I disagree with the author in his assessment of Stoic thought. He asserts that with millennia of experience, we have learned that we can effect change on the world. I believe that if anything the exact opposite is true. Some men have more power to change the world than others, but for most of us we can't do a damn thing. For example, if I'm unhappy with the actions of the US government, I can write to my representatives asking them to change things, and I can vote for someone else next election (or possibly participate in a recall effort). But that's all I can do, and (speaking from experience) those don't accomplish anything. I still do those things because they are my duty, but I'm realistic about the fact that they aren't going to change a thing and I don't stress out.
"You want to live 'according to nature'? Oh, you noble Stoics, what deceptive words! Think of a being like nature, prodigal beyond measure, indifferent beyond measure, without purpose or consideration, without pity or justice, at once fruitful and barren and uncertain—do you want to live according to such indifference?" - Nietzsche
Hello Peter, I have a situation. I am on H1B and I am being forced out of my job. My wife is also on H1B. After consulting some attorneys, I have decided that I will move to H4 status under my wife, while I search for the new job. Will this protect me until I get a new H1B with new employer soon? What should I be cautious about? For what it is worth, I also have EAD through I-140 pending, but I am deciding not to use the EAD and move to H4 dependent as soon as my H1B expires when I terminate my job. Let me know if I have to be cautious or aware of any circumstances that can put me or my family situation in jeopardy.

Most companies have a similar profile. There's an up-or-out phase and then there's some level where it no longer matters. Because titles are all over the place it's hard to predict what that level is. But it roughly translates to the point where your value exceeds your cost. For most software companies this is usually the point where one is a very capable IC, able to work independently, as well as able to guide & mentor more junior employees. YMMV

It will never be the case that it's okay to coast for a long time at the lower/middle levels because in the grand scheme of things you're not worth the hassle for them.
> prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice

I adopt rather the opposite virutes. Imprudence, risk, throwing-your-self-at-a-wall-until-you-cant, intemperance (conflict, debate, disagreement, competition) and pragmatism (address what is rather than what should be).

Behind each of the stoic virutues is a psychological position to dettach, dissociate and live in a more abstracted conceptual space. This can be theraputic if you are in grief, etc.

Outside of that, personally I think: attach too much, risk more than you ought, and participate in the world ("dirty your hands") by making the best of it, rather than anything more abstract.

Professors of stocism like to make a virute of dying quiety -- this i think absurd. If the plane is falling from the sky, i envy the people screaming -- they have the right levels of attachemnt to their own lives.

Inequality is not bad, so we should stop speaking of inequality as if it were. There is nothing to be guilty about for having more that is acquired or received by licit and moral means. Indeed, the obsession with equality is often itself rooted in envy. The envious have an obvious reason to feel guilty, as envy is evil (whether overt, such as when we try to take what others have, or concealed, such as when we deny the good of something or play the game of sour grapes).

However, a society does have an obligation to respond to poverty (poverty in the true sense, not "I can't afford an iPhone"). Those with more than they need (and this is subject to prudential judgement) have more means to contribute toward this end.
There are plenty of hard problems that are unrelated to scientific research where you need more than just "normal" engineers. Look at the number of failed projects at big companies such as Amazon and Microsoft, they failed because "normal" engineers couldn't pull it off.

> The ACA was the best compromise that could be struck at the time,

That's not he way the ACA went down. Obama had this idea that the best way to reform an industry was to have it write its own reform legislation and pretty much let the industry have first draft.

> with a large portion of the population being dead set against better healthcare if it meant allowing Obama to be able to take credit for it.

The ACA was initially popular but it became increasingly unpopular during the months of horse trading, the explosion in length of the law, the jettisoning of most of the good parts (drug price controls, public option, etc), retention and expansion of industry giveaways (tax penalties), and yes, relentless Republican opposition and propaganda against it.

But even the latter was Obama's fault for not being prepared to anticipate and deal. He actually spend the first several months pushing for a "bipartisan" deal with Republicans that gave them room to delay and attack.

> with a large portion of the population being dead set against better healthcare if it meant allowing Obama to be able to take credit for it.

Obama had a filibuster-proof supermajority in congress. Yes, Republicans were going to oppose his agenda, but he didn't need them. For some dumb reason he loaded a gun, pointed it at himself and handed it to them.

There were lots of comparisons to Medicare/Medicaid being made at the time. That law was a fraction the size of ACA, the implementation phase was like a year instead of a decade for the ACA, and its effect on the public was immediate and profound.

The failure of the Obama administration was the failure of technocracy. Obama thought he could have "experts" develop the ultimate "win-win" policy. What you ended up instead was a bunch of naked self-dealing by craven opportunists who either worked for the industries they were regulating or intended to do so in the future. People saw through this and it lead directly the the rise of Trump
Show HN: A privacy-first Kanban and task management app that works offline
I built an offine-first task management app with Kanban setup called Brisqi because I needed an app that worked anywhere without relying on an internet connection. Whether you’re in a corporate setting, dealing with spotty Wi-Fi, or just prefer more privacy, staying productive shouldn’t depend on being online.

It’s lightweight, private, and gives you full control without relying on the cloud.

One might even go so far as to say all Linux users are a "vocal minority" to begin with.

But even for me, as a North Derbyshire/South Manchester type who had family from all over, Rab C. Nesbitt is only intelligible with subtitles. I wish that wasn't true, and I feel bad about it... even worse when I meet Scottish family and feel like an idiot.

Americans in particular are very, very easy to trick. As a teenager, when visiting family in Northern California, my step-brother and I could basically speak in "secret code" and be unintelligible to all Americans around us, by putting on a very, very mild Scouse lilt... absolutely hilarious.
I think the argument is that for non-scientific usecases, folks don't really need to think about error or significant digits. By focusing on the significand too much laypeople aren't grasping how large and small these numbers are relative to each other.

It's not being put forward as a recommended tool for scientists when reasoning about precise values. It's put forward for laypeople when trying to understand the vastness of the universe.
It's unfortunate that the elite's interest in stoicism (along with the sigma male crowd) has tainted its perception. It's essentially the basis of CBT and logotherapy that has changed my life for the better. But we also saw this with Buddhist meditation and other various practices divorced from the worldview that spawned them.
Framework made a tiny desktop form factor version with this chip in it, so we'll if it gets much traction (at least among enthusiasts).
The top-heavy design didn't help things either. I'll be shocked if they don't go three-for-three on landing sideways given IM3 has the same tall design.
> Because I think it’s important that we mingle some Voltaire in with our Seneca, and remember that stoicism’s invaluable advice for taking better care of ourselves inside can–if we fail to mix it with other ideas–come with a big blind spot regarding the world outside ourselves, and whether we should change it.

Ideally the answer is no, there’s no need to actively change systems if the system proponents are not interested in that change. In case of majority rules, the minority has to seek compromise. Such rules assume that different systems will create their own conditions for long term stability, and there will not be any interference from outside forces.

Under these ideal conditions, agents have freedom of movement to other places, where they exercise free will and actualize because determinism by random events (like being born into a specific system in which an agent is unfulfilled or unwelcome) does not promote long term stability for any system.

In reality, however, agents compete to dominate, and every system then has to mirror each other in some way, or face destabilization.

There’s no such thing as resource scarcity in an endless universe—the problem of different systems is that the existence of another presents an existential threat. Stoicism helps manage this existential threat while acknowledging the caveat that aggressively defending the existence of a system is justified when faced with a direct threat.

A note on social inequality in a given state: if everyone has the same rights, and those rights are applied equally, then that ensures long term cultural stability. If you create second class citizens, or justly aggrieved minorities, then that’s asking for trouble as any interfering force can use that minority to create destabilization. The only things which makes sense is letting people have their own places, and not be interfered with; practically, for a country like the U.S., it means that all states should be free to determine their own set of rules governing rights outside of the purview of the Constitution. In that case, maybe it’s more humane for blue states to accept refugees from red states, and vice versa. Like people mad about Trans rights in CA should move to TX. Extending this logic dictates that blue cities in red states can have their own rules for governance. I think, then, the smallest unit which can have its own set of governing powers should be any which has the resources to implement them, in a self-sufficient and independent manner. I don’t know practical that might be, but it’s an interesting thought experiment.
> Why not live where you get a lot more for your money?

Because I would have to spend a lot of my money to not be miserable, and ultimately still be worse off.

Places that are cheap to live are cheap for a reason.
What about L1, L2, L3 then ?
Absolutely not, but I'm far removed from any position to make a statement either way. I'm guessing there is some path to having breakthroughs in bio/chem/physics that is regarded as a possibility. Of course, if even possible, would only be for very few individuals.
So I asked ChatGPT what is a rent seeker and it said it's someone who seeks to make money without contributing anything. I don't think that fits OpenAI. I think you're overlooking ChatGPT, for example, which was developed by OpenAI.
All those things are somewhat socially determined. Even height has gone up in the last century. Personally I think I'm tall for somebody my age but I see a lot of young men who are a lot taller than me.

To look at that last one, in the solar economy up until 1920 or so, the peak of beauty socially [1] was the debutante from a rich or noble family. As soon as there were cities there were entertainers and courtesans, but in the mass media age the likes of Marie Antoinette just can't compete with professionals.

Standards of athleticism also involve an element of conformity. "Extreme sports" are frequently pioneered by older athletes who have no chance of making the NFL draft but get taken over by the young once a path is visible. (Early winners of the World Series of Poker were outright old, but it became a young man's game when it became mainstream in the 2000s.)

Some societies have a use for people with high intelligence, others don't.

[1] I'm sure there were beautiful peasants to my eye in Heian Japan but the text that survive from that period describe a very specific ideal including perfectly straight and rather coarse black hair that's about as rigid as the look of the kind of woman who, creepily, Instagram wants me to follow today.
I think I qualify for EB-1C, but does one need to be present and already living in the US to apply for it, or can that happen from the current country of residence?

Or is the general path: L1 -> Move -> Apply for EB-1C once migrated.
One more kibitz, each level should give you the option to replay at the end so you can hone your skills, and only your best score should carry over.
In my opinion, if any copyright related rule is applied to books or other paywalled content, it should equally apply any Joe Shmoe's blog or code on GitHub.
Could you recommend another philosophy worth exploring? As someone who's relatively new to Stoicism, I've found the four virtues (wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance) to offer valuable guidance for living a balanced life. I'd genuinely appreciate hearing more about your perspective—why do you find Stoicism vacant?

You point out yourself that Waymo doesn’t have a monopoly on training data. And the trained model is software, of which the price-to-use trends towards epsilon, even when it’s very expensive to make. For example Google search, maps, docs, YouTube. An exception is Netflix, but there the value provided by a subscription is access to novelty, which is not intrinsic to driving software.
A lot of people don’t know that guilt is an emotion and like all emotions needs to be managed. They feel it, assume it’s appropriate and then seek a cause that fits.

Sorry if this sounds dismissive, it’s not meant to be. But I think it is the cold hard reason for a lot of feeling/stress among people who have otherwise nice lives with no explicit moral failings…

Obama started from the idea that the private insurance industry would continue to exist (and grow!) and therefore anything that would eat into their business was out.

> Why hasn't CAMM gotten anywhere?

Framework asked AMD if they could use CAMM for their new Framework Desktop.

AMD actually humored the request and did some engineering, with simulations. According to Framework, the memory bandwidth on the simulations was less than half of the soldered version.

This completely defied the entire point of the chip - the massive 256 bit bus ideal for AI or other GPU-heavy tasks, which allows this chip to offer the features it does.

This is also why Framework has apologized for non upgradability, but said it can’t be helped, so enjoy fair and reasonable RAM prices. Previously, it had been speculated that CAMM had a performance penalty, but Framework’s engineer on video saying it was that bad was fairly shocking.
No one is asking for support for every possible integration.

What people are asking for is not actively preventing other integrations. That means through business means and deals as well as technological measures.
Yes. There is an ever increasing amount of complicated design rules for modern processes and EDA tools have to model all of them for automated layout.
Watched the youtube video - gives a decent overview. Linking that generated video file here would be useful to give people an idea of the output up front.

This is something I wish I'd had about 15 years ago when I was teaching online. I think the group I was with would have been able to create video versions of some of our material and have another revenue stream. At the time, we were only synchronous classroom based training - 2 hr sessions X times per week. When students were engaged, it was great! When they weren't, you were just talking in to the void. Being able to package up some of our material in to these sorts of videos - but doing it in a controlled, managed fashion like this, would have been great. By contrast, we had someone make Flash files for us. Fixing any typo took weeks. :/

Product looks good! Good luck to you!
The government cannot and will not show evidence of that because they can’t. The guy has actual self-published records of his speech which contradict all of the hysterical hearsay claims that the right is making against him. The current government has no interest in the truth, which is why they moved him to a state where his immigration attorney cannot practice.

Yes, there were and are plenty of protestors that actually support Hamas. Fuck those guys. But automatically claiming that if you support Palestine that you must support Hamas is the exact sort of childish intellectual laziness that leads to and supports actual genocide.

I can’t speak for the rich and powerful (as I’m neither), nor do I subscribe to stoicism necessarily.

But I do work in tech and enjoyed (and periodically re-read) Marcus Aurelius’ “Meditations”

I originally read it out of curiosity, not often you get to see a leader’s supposedly unedited, personal diary.

But I keep coming back because of the calming prose and (imo) useful lessons about dealing with a stressful world.

Eg Epictetus’ quote “don’t hand your mind over to every passerby”

and “don’t be upset by disrespect from people you don’t respect”

were good reminders on not getting mentally derailed from rudeness or slights by the minority of interactions throughout a day.

“we all come from nature” is a nice reminder on forgiveness

Perhaps the first two could be seen as elitist, but it was helpful to me in a customer-facing role in dealing with the 10% of rude clients.

Overall it reads like a secular proverbs, with that much more weight due to the size and non-publishing intent of the author.
