This is not advocacy for replicating indigenous societies parental habits, but perhaps a key is hyper-focused for 2-3 years and then a steeper dropoff on the hand-holding (literally and figuratively).


I’ll take the non/MPB genes.


Also the non BO gene!


Do you think it’s possible to obtain this performance with Rust?

I’ve been down the path you’re on a few times and I love the pursuit. Have built my own over the years about 4 times.

Hardware was much slower in those days so my lower barrier was 650ns. Things got worse appreciably as a function of the number of producers I found.

Some of my most sleepless nights. The funnest nights.


How many producers and how many consumers is that 650 nanoseconds?

I have pinned threads to even numbered cores with pthread_setaffinity_np and that seems to have evened out the MPMC ringbuffer - 2 producers 2 consumers to under 400 nanoseconds, usually under 1000 nanoseconds. I think hyperthreading causes problems.

EDIT: Would you like to chat about this? I would like to! My email is in my profile.


std::collections::vec_deque is implemented as a growable ring buffer so you might like to start there

I would certainly want to spread my risk around to several other large companies.


Honestly haven’t heard many good stories about Amazon work environment and culture. I’ve worked with a lot of former Amazon ppl though.


A much simpler solution is to just ensure that politicians' children (and politicians themselves on rotation, perhaps) are the very first to the front lines in any given war they choose to conduct.


Well, considering that the ages when this was expected of political leaders were also far more violent and had far more endemic warfare than modern times, maybe this actually isn't a good idea.


the led the armies, but they also led the country. all of the risk and all of the reward.


Have you ever looked at how many American politicians are veterans? How many of them have children who are in the armed forces? It's certainly not universal, but they do have children who would be fighting their wars and they have fought in the last generation's wars.


I looked it up. 18% of congress is a veteran. 6.2% of the general population is.


These days...I'd put their leading financial backers (& children) on the front lines instead.


It is not that simple. For example, Hitler had no kids. And Stalin did, but he treated them indifferently and refused to save his son Yakov from German captivity.

Netanyahu's brother Yoni died in the Entebbe raid, didn't seem to make Binyamin a pacifist.


They won't. That's the problem, politicians and dictators don't see war the same way as civilians do.


I was growing up when the first people got BBS' and CompuServe. I don't miss the days of dial-up.

I miss the days just as you learned Google could answer questions you asked in free-form, without the censorship and advertisement preferences they give today. Those were better days on gonewild also.


I’ve been masculine for 4 decades and have never considered myself “in crisis” because of it.


Dear reader, unless you are the idea of masculinity itself, we're talking about two different things. Capitalism can be in crisis without all capitalists being in crisis.


We await your definition of either so no one else has to guess at what arbitrary things you're measuring.


Off topic / this is the kind of website I immediately could not care less about the content. They immediately inundate with ads while hiding information behind 2000 words of fluff. The internet is ruined.


This is what I hope AI/LLMs will fix, having a browser or alexa/siri like experience that reads the content from the web and removes all the junk. As an added bonus it could correlate and collect informations from different sources and display it in a personal yet standardised way.

To me that is the evolution of the internet as I see it currently. No more search, point and click ad driven nonsense but a personal research bot that saves you time and makes your life richer. An evolution sort of like the move from mircofilm to digital records.

It will be interesting to see the interplay between the corruption by human greed and bias on these bots and the logical basis that builds them. Hopefully logic will thrive over time.


What if there's more money to be made by having your summarizer bot present you ads? Logic will thrive while bot vendors take advantage of that.


Use another summarizer


If these sites stop receiving traffic they will stop existing.


It will lead to “AIO”, AI Optimisation, the set of techniques to smuggle content marketing through AI summaries


No ads for me.

May I suggest uBlock origin. If you are on a platform that does not allow effective ad blocking (chrome, safari, iOS) then consider switching to Android/Firefox.


I block ads though my DNS on iOS and had nothing on this site. Highly recommended, though ublock origin is obviously preferable.


How do you do that? I recently started using a Pi-hole for network-wide ad blocking - with outstanding results - but that obviously only works on my home network.


The Orion browser on iOS and macOS can run Firefox and chrome extensions- I saw no ads on the above site.


Heck, I don’t see ads in regular iOS Safari. People just need to install a good content blocker.


Conversely, this site actually does have an EU compliant cookies banners with a single "refuse consent" button that's prominent as the "take all my data" button. In fact, the refuse button is perhaps more prominent then the accept button.

It's perhaps slightly annoying as it come up with a delay that kicks in after a scroll, but on the scale of usual purposefully-misleading cookie consent (mis-)handling via dark patterns, it's not bad at all.


It's a strong argument for keeping the Federal rate low, since it needs to effectively peg the lowest COL area (which may not be able to support higher wages).


Maybe, but it’s too low across the board.


Should we accept your word for it or should we receive some evidence?
