I think the link time optimization work is amazing as well. Calling out to different languages can really suck without whole program optimization, even if both the rust and the c++ sides are fully optimized, but taking the LLVM bit code of

The insurer is the United States government. They take losses on things all the time. It's called "socialized losses." I referred to it before, and it sounds like you don't even understand these finance 101 (or even basi

I can tell you a bank like say JP Morgan Chase, who is charged 5bp a year (i.e. 5 cents for every $100 dollars), has a much higher chance of catastrophic failure than 1 in 2000. Many banks just like them fail every few decades, and it was g

The FDIC is just a ruse to let "useful idiots" think that everything is okay. In reality, the FDIC charges banks 90% less than the actuarial value of the risk they take on, and banks make wildly risky loans/bets all the time,

Depends on how far down you want to go with all the people sizes in all the various combinations of positions. I imagine the cost-benefit is based on the marginal change of information you get by changing the dummy size/shape, and base

I think Facemash was quintessentially 4chan style fuck-the-man. He hacked every Harvard house directory to make some highly offensive web tool. What he did to the Winkelvoss jocks certainly had an element of not wanting to play ball with th

I hope Mark Zuckerberg has reflected on how much he has changed over the decades. He originally wanted to build a social network, borne out of a 4chan style sense of 'fuck the man' and do cool things that improve the world. But in

Those work together. But I find the most insidious aspect of these platforms is how it allows companies to exploit our vulnerability to unhealthy behavior. Even if you grant that Instagram's content isn't toxic (which it is, but j

Regarding dating. If your goal is to find a great life partner and have a wonderful family, I find being short to actually be a benefit. Garbage women will self-select themselves out of your potential dating pool.

Adobe's stock is down 17% on the news. So, it's bad for consumers. Bad for Adobe. Probably only good for the ego of a few executives and investment bankers.

What? Why should I care whether or not they went to college? I want them to be able to do their job, and I don't care about prestige whoring over competency. Maybe if they hadn't required classes that are irrelevant to 95% of doct

You realize that 4 years of residency isn't the magical number of the perfect amount? Two could very well be sufficient, and the other two "extra or unnecessary training." Also, you keep ignoring the college requirement, whic
