It'd be simpler to just have a high LVT and treat it as a credit instead of deductible.

It stops being borrowed?! What kind of question is this.

A question about definitions. Some other options would be:

    - the object is destroyed
    - the program core dumps
    - it is a compile time error

Assuming the best possible outcome in case of missing information turns out to be a bad strategy in general.

Had a similar experience reading Jane Austen, it never really made sense to me until I watched the movies

I've been pushing to open source a VLIW assembler/codec generator with some syntax like this but alas may not stay long enough to see it through.

I think root problem here is trying to estimate the net present value of work that may take several quarters to play out. This forces everyone to be fairly conservative in their estimates and generally results in institutional high time prefrence.

Idealy, comp would recognize and compensate the concrete/realized impact rather than expetcted impact but doing so would require that retroactive compensation be dependable implying either payout independent of present employmet status or long average tenures in lieu.

In this enviroment, having people reguarly & annonymously assess/attribute the extent to which their work was enabled/assisted by their peers would be more straight forward.

Transmeta lived on in Nvidia's Project Denver but Denver was optimized for x86 and the Intel settlement precluded that. It ended up being too buggy/inefficient to compete in the market and effectively abandoned after the second generation.

I feel like the mistake is not having more local zones of total internal transparency but idk what my org is even thinking nowadays.

Starlink was originally a google idea, originally a sister project to Loon, the founder quit and brought his team to SpaceX and then got fired by Elon. Everyone who repeats this story to me says it was because "Elon doesn't suffer fools" but YMMV.

Global Bit didn't originate at Google X, it was an acqui-hire of O3B which later spun back out to become OneWeb.

There was definitely some weird cross pollination with SpaceX happening.

IIRC first version was very overengineered and team was replaced that built a simpler one.

Who was that? Can't find anything about it.

Maybe this: "top designer Mark Krebs, who worked in Google's satellite and aircraft division"

I think that might be it - it was called "Project Air" circa 2011-2015.

The culture started dying when Sundar took over, layoffs merely accelerated the trajectory.

My experience has been the opposite - older googlers want to work from Tahoe/Vagas. Younger googlers want to meet other googlerrs or just travel and work a few months s year.
