Google Highway gets mentioned in the article.

Does it continue to exist?

QLC already beats out HDD in power constrained hyperscalar environments. Capex is not the only factor.

I went to QLC for my NAS last cycle. The $/TB was worse, but not by a huge margin, and the performance is quite a bit better (not that it matters).

You're discussing legitimate criticisms of nicotine vaping; the article isn't opposed to that, it just explicitly isn't a focus.

> At some point, you can let a less smart model hammer at a problem for longer and get to the same result, and as long as you are not involved it comes to the same thing. Is that true? I find the smarter models can just be effective whe

I am very skeptical that endowment funds are as illiquid as you claim. We're talking about amounts less than 10% of the total portfolio size annually.

It's mostly inaccurate to characterize large groups by their minority fringe members. (I don't like Trump, MAGA, or January 6ers either, FWIW. But it's important to speak about this stuff truthfully.)

by loeg 5mo ago
To clarify, you agree that the Trump admin / MAGA political movement isn't fascism and his election wasn't an overthrow of democracy? Your earlier remarks were just a thought experiment? That isn't really the sense I&#

> A sizable chunk of the endowment likely has legal restrictions that limit how funds can be spent. E.g., they could be earmarked for undergraduate scholarships or a specific lab at a specific department. The endowment isn't a slush

No one voted to "overthrow" democracy and do "fascism," cut the hyperbole.

That is how it usually works, but again, MIT has tens of billions of dollars. They could literally write their own grants.

Yes, and it's even spelled out explicitly earlier in the letter. > For departments across the Institute, the funding uncertainty I talked about has made them cautious about admitting new graduate students.

It's a story, but I don't really agree with this explanation. Fucking around burning money on VR didn't help morale in the other 90% of the company. And in general employees (all with RSUs) were happy about the stock price

Dumb and dumber. Criminals just can't stop doing crimes (the password stuff, the gun stuff, etc, etc).

The question is, how close can OpenLZ come? (This is from the same people who develop zstd, but suitable for structured data in a generic way.)

What are you talking about. Trash is inexpensive, but Americans absolutely pay for it (solid waste utility bill). I think people conceptualize that they have utility bills?

"Disposable" is fine! Things have a useful lifetime and uneconomic repairs are just that. Nothing needs to last forever.

What pricepoint is this targeting? Is this an Android MacBook Neo? It looks like it's a tablet (phone OS) with a keyboard.

I find it's pretty easy to make new friends with other people doing healthy activities (I'm not in my 40s but many of the people I meet doing sports are).

> This latest one releasing the NUMBER and DATE of the layoffs a month in advance This, too, was leaked to the press. Their plan wasn't to announce a month in advance.

Again, it is not durably persisted before acking to the client. Like I said earlier, that might be fine for your durability model, but it is unusual.

You initiate a write to the journal, but do not sync it before ACKing to the client.

I don't think leaking is limited to "bad" things.

Claude with the 4.7 model is getting pretty good.

Do you want to prevent leaks, or achieve some other goal? If you want to prevent leaks, this isn't an effective approach. If you want to achieve a different goal, that's fine, too, but orthogonal to the stated goal. For leaks,

I don't think the median Meta employee earns more than $500,000. Certainly a big chunk do. Just to envelope math some of this: getting GE (~15%?) ratings at IC5 (plurality of employees) in a SWE/PE role in a west coast metro (95-
