Stating compute scale in terms of power consumption is exactly how one looks at data centers or capacity planning right now though. It's the major constraint. It's just a different abstraction level.

Yea 90% is a more realistic fail rate of my 2am ideas which seem great at 2am, but then terrible a few days later with good sleep. If GP is batting almost .400 for insomnia fever ideas, that sounds pretty stellar to me.

I guess that depends on the country? In the US, motorist fatalities from crashes outnumber pedestrian/bicycle/etc fatalities like 4:1, I think? I guess that includes both motorist killing self or occupants and also motorist kill

Ah very cool. I thought this was going to be a tongue-in-cheek article about the proliferation of random corporate-mandated CPU hogs like croudstrike or w/e. Pleasantly surprised by the technical article :). Reminds me of a lot of pre

Making games in rust in retirement is my plan. Not, you know, good games (zero game dev experience), or games that anyone would realistically want to play, but seems like it would be interesting to learn.

Death is a perfect example of something that would reach the "irreparable harm" bar. Money is typically not.

by dmoy 1y ago
"irreparable harm" in this case is a legal term of art, which sort of translates to "cannot be fixed by *any* amount of money later". If you lose a job for 5 years, work a minimum wage burger flipper job, and then win a

If you struggle, there are two escalations you can try: 1. Foam eartips ($10-$20) might be sufficient. 2. Custom fit silicone tips ($150-$250). These will work, for basically any ear. But ....... you gotta really want it.

^ yea pretty much this I'm not 100% sure but whenever I've tried to reduce an egg without splitting first, it always ends up with a super wrong amount of yolk I could also just be bad at it, idk

by dmoy 1y ago
Also you totally can reduce an egg by 30%, it's just a pain in the ass. Separate yolk and white (as though you were going to beat the whites). Weigh both, reduce both by 30%. Recombine. Better is to just base the entire recipe off th

Seems reasonable to me, yea It's probably a nonstarter for the current year, given that you'd need to pay for substantially more patent examiners, and better trained patent examiners (even if it does ultimately come a lot from inc

by dmoy 1y ago
I mean yea, you're not exactly wrong, but the cost to fully investigate every application would be incredibly high. Maybe the answer is to make patents cost $20k (fee) + $20k (your patent lawyer's fee) instead of $1k (fee) + $20k

Some of it is that "getting a patent" isn't always a high bar, and the real bar is "successfully using a patent in a lawsuit". Patent examiners don't have the time and resources to thoroughly vet every applica

Yes, that sounds about correct. It's a lot more than "bottom 50% pay no tax". Also I'm unclear if that source includes only the "employee half" of the 15% FICA.

The comments/narrative in TFA don't line up with FRED. 2022 was like 3x more profitable overall compared to 2016, and 2023 wasn't much worse. It's definitely coming back down. From TFA though, 2400 is like 2x-2.5x media

CA also scores middle of the pack on nominal poverty rate (OPM), but last in the country on cost of living adjusted poverty rate (SPM). If anything though, that means backwards from what I would expect for income controlled education score
