I wish type constraints had a different Golang type than actual interfaces. "Is one of" and "Implements" seem like different enough concepts to warrant divergence there.

It does. Inflation is a broad phenomenon, whereas tariffs mostly only affect targeted imported goods. We should all strive to be precise when discussing our opinions and preferences, lest we believe we disagree when we infact do not.

Of course, the increase in manufacturing will be limited. Is there a policy that can increase it without limit? I also think its disingenuous to call tariff induced price increases inflation. That's like calling a sales tax inflation.

Im pretty left, I just also recognize demand-side provisions (tax breaks) dont work when the enemy is asset inflation (housing costs). In reality, that extra capital would just flow into the hands of people already holding the assets, and t

As a moderate who voted for KH, the biggest problem with the DNC candidates in recent decades is that they do not, in fact, appear to be real human beings, but instead curated facades composed of politically desirable traits.

Most super computers were still Intel/IBM, but around that time is when the shift to GPU clusters started. #1 super computer spot was taken by an Nvidia cluster in 2012, but I remember other big projects were done before as well.

Its a commitment problem IMO. NVidia stuck with CUDA for a long time before it started paying them what it cost. AMD and Intel have both launched and killed initiatives a couple times each, but abandon them within a few years because adopti

I think their point is that easily accessible hardware capable of supporting the research is the reason the research has come as far as it has, and I would tend to agree. At the very least, GPUs keeping the PCI ecosystem going has played a

This. I worked in HPC between 2010 and 2013, and people were trying to compete with NVidia in the GPGPU space even back then, seeing the way the wind was blowing. Compute bandwidth, and FLOPS/watt has steadily been more and more import

It sounds like one party is getting all the advantage of a piece of IP without having to make any investment in it's generation, which is a competitive advantage.

Probably overloading of the term "programming" is the issue here. Most "software engineering" is non-programming work. Most programming is not actually typing code. Most of the time, when I am typing code, the code I am

Yeah, the stakes for the two sides of that transaction are completely different, so equivocating rational responses on either side makes no sense. OP lost me there.

I don't get the argument you are attempting to make here. If its that prohibition drives people to more potent substances, I'll point out that legal marijuana has become insanely potent. Also, cheap vodkas are cheaper and more acc

People who abuse opioids are very price sensitive. Even in an open market, fentanyl's price advantage alone would probably be enough.

I think you're both overthinking things. There are more drugs, that are more powerful, and they are more easily available than ever before. Fentanyl is easy to make (thank you biochemical advances), easy to distribute (thank you massiv

20x isn't crazy, but its what they need just to reach parity P/E with Google (assuming their costs remain flat). In order for the investment to make sense they have to grow much much more than that to account for the extra risk, o

Doesn't seem like it. He was doing most of what he claims years before he marketed anything. I remember him on Lex Friedman years ago talking about only eating one meal per day, eating as healthy as possible, optimizing his sleep, etc.

The extreme to which he is taking things and the level of rigor he is (seemingly) applying, are the differences I see. He has a lot more time and resources at his disposal than most wellness hackers.

> But it is a lot easier to have folks who are in charge of systems testify as to their authenticity than to have a child who has been abused testify to the authenticity of the abuse, thus the logic is defensibly limited to child abuse.

Im confused by the "No". Everything you said is in agreement with my comment.
