I posted this in a comment already, but the results here line up with the original BOLT paper.

“For the GCC and Clang compilers, our evaluation shows that BOLT speeds up their binaries by up to 20.4% on top of FDO and LTO, and up to 52.1% if the binaries are built without FDO and LTO.”

“Up to” though is always hard to evaluate.

There’s a section of the article at the end about how Postgres doesn’t have LTO enabled by default. I’m assuming they’re not doing PGO/FDO either?

From the Bolt paper: “For the GCC and Clang compilers, our evaluation shows that BOLT speeds up their binaries by up to 20.4% on top of FDO and LTO, and up to 52.1% if the binaries are built without FDO and LTO.”

My view is that folks lost their life savings on crypto on FTX is only a more extreme version of those who lost their live savings on crypto on some other exchange. The fraud is terrible, but only exasperates the problems of those gambling with limited resources to absorb loses.

I do not. My comment was in response to the parent comment saying that financial crime “absolutely causes people to die” and “create far more misery than your average mugger”.

To what degree was the money lost by SBF/etc going to be put towards saving lives, versus the dreams of the average crypto person?

I’ve used their tarballed installer, which is straightforward. The app itself then checks for updates, and displays a reminder when there’s a new version.

Not as nice as having an updated version in apt, but it’s a trivial amount of work for something I personally get so much value out of.

Written, a combination of New York Times, Washington Post, and what Google News aggregates (frequently includes Fox and a mix of websites of local news websites)

> In America, it's wall-to-wall "police say"-like IDF clips and Bill Maher condemnation, dehumanization, and equivocating Palestine supporters with Hamas terrorists. The talking heads cheerfully greet Netanyahu.

As someone who also consumes US news, this does not describe what I’ve seen.

I find it hard to believe there’s correlation between the beginnings of Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas and who the US president is.

If anything, Russia and Hamas are each less likely to spark each conflict (in the specific sense of invading Ukraine and 7 October, not the preconditions) knowing that the US is more likely to provide arms to Ukraine and Israel.

It’s disingenuous because they intentionally chose numbers on the pricing curve that resulted in the most clickbaity results.

There are plenty of valid criticisms, but I felt the author’s post missed sufficient nuance.

I can’t say I’m a fan of the pricing model, but the linked tweet makes specific choices regarding the number of installs, which in turn determines the pricing.

The tweet has 10M installs, where each one makes a $1. 5M installs where each one produces $2 in revenue results in a smaller cut by Apple. 20M installs at $0.50 results in a larger cut.

Is there a concrete explanation of what Masimo’s actual innovation was in their patents?

They were posted in a previous thread, and the way they were written made it unclear what was actually covered. Is Apple allegedly infringing on the idea of putting a blood oxygen sensor in a watch, a technical innovation in how to do so effectively, or something else entirely?
