If they were smart they'd realise they could launder their overall viewer figures in the stockmarket and (ponzi-style) have the latest shareholders pay them* for inflated 'low rent' users instead of scaring away those users a

More relevant for this case is that they are also involved in Submarine propulsion, which usually means nuclear. So I would guess that they have significant experience.

Virtual actors for C# are offered by solutions like MS Orleans as I understand it.

That idea might actually work. If a startup is a build-measure-learn loop, then coming up with ballpark viable ideas, devising experiments to test them and optimising for traction/profit should be a cinch for AGI. So just train it to b

A lot more than it does at the moment, certainly. That's no bad thing either, even if insurance premiums would go up (and construction quality would then improve to compensate and bring them somewhat back down, and finally fewer incide

With RAM sizes not keeping up with Moore's Law, it would make sense to have superfast compression as a pervasive, transparent and Hardware-accelerated feature of a modern OS. SIMD provides hw acceleration to some extent, and is clearly

“The complaints are resolved from a defined source of funds, with the money making assets separated out so that an going concern isn’t destroyed.” It’s here I have a problem. Who gets to decide what a defined source of funds is, what arbitr

They really couldn't just trip the light circuit off overnight until a solution could be found? Last one out etc.? Assuming things like fridges and cctv would be on another circuit, or at least another one could be setup more cheaply t

If you have several commands you're likely to use and possibly pipe together, it might make sense to have lightweight compiled C/Rust command client stubs invoke an Elixir server, so you'd pay the BEAM startup cost only once,

That's a tradeoff that might make sense for optimising single-shot execution environments - I'm thinking Serverless/Lambda.

Then why isn't rampant global inflation feeding into UK wage inflation? Why indeed is 'wage inflation' the horror that the broken austrian school consider it to be? Why was multi-decade house price inflation not considered a

True, but the difference is all about what happens when you can't pay the 10% interest or get into significant negative equity. If you can just walk away, then you have "rich person accounting."

Yeah I love it. I would like to "buy" a multi-million dollar mansion in the Bahamas with big bank money, but have the bank only encumber the property itself, and I get to live in it and pay service staff for my luxury, maybe the o

Unfortunately, some hirers optimise for this because in the short term the kind of people who they can rely upon to impose on, stay late and stress out (ie be seen to "care" in the corporate dystopia) and burnout are the fucked-up

Yep, so by definition if your input (higher wage) increases while your total output stays the same, then the ratio once divided shows productivity per unit has decreased, as OP said.

But it does argue to permit the current tighter fiscal and monetary position to work as it appears to be doing, perhaps too well/quickly, rather than tightening more out of a dangerous over-abundance of caution.

Precisely - its clearly just that "some CEOs" like to chum the water with a little fear to keep staff from leaving (to become the 'last in, first out' somewhere else), and to create pressure against wage rises to enable

Interesting, but I'd be more interested in the holistic, total energy cost of a particular language choice. Only where the program is highly compute-bound and is run for many parallel instance-hours, would an analysis like this help to

For PostgreSQL with WAL logs, or in a service like RDS, can you not do a point in time recovery? Seems like an easy way to go back in time, recover the data you want, dig out any FK referents that might also have been cascade deleted etc. I
