Just by reading your post containing the "deaf democrat" trident of a) lying by omission, b) ad hominem attacks and c) argument from authority, you kinda discredit your entire point.
Sleep. There you go. Nothing else needs to be mentioned. You can find dozens upon dozens of studies showing how badly the lack of sleep affects concentration, creativity, productivity. 50 hours is already insane, because it eats 2 hours a day from your free time... which has to be taken from somewhere and so you either have no social life (which is bad, can lead to divorces etc.) or you lack sleep. I can't imagine working 60 hour weeks and being productive, in an age when governments experiment with 4 day workweeks you can't possibly think that working 12 hours a day is even remotely OK, let alone productive.
The "annoying" thing about PHP is that every time I try to get away from it and use "proper tools" (e.g. net core) for a project, I'm kinda drawn back to PHP simply because of its unparalled productivity with your average web app creation. No types (typing is the right way to do it, especially with bigger projects and more people, but they slow you down, no question about it), no compilation, great std lib (once you learn it) packagist/composer for things not in the std lib, laravel/symfony for when bigger scaffolding ie needed... and you just blast away, it's one thing implemented after another, and boom, boom, boom, another, another, another. Need to mess with XMLs, JSONs, CSVs, XSLes, PDFs? Just use the std lib or if that's not enough just use one of the packages on packagist. Everything is so fast to put tohether, I can create a same web app in php in about half the time than in .net... yes, the .net version will probably be more robust and less buggy, but who really cares? One you're building a govt. app or a bank app, then you'll care, but until then I just cringe every time I have to do basic modal functionality (load data for the modal from the db, populate modal form with the data, show the modal to the user, validate submitted data, do something with the valid data, save data into the db, show ok status to thr user) in .net a it takes me ages due to all the hoops i have to jump through. The only reason I'm even bothering with .net s because PHP is still seen as a language for novice programmers (it is kinda true, i've seen some horrible coders in my php years), but that's mostly a function of its success and the how easy it is to do many, many things.
It all depends on economics, what you have now doesn't really matter a couple years down the line when the simple progress of time will show if this research has been used and built upon or not. 44+ cores, that's already available for workstations, and with the 4th generation of Threadripper (that's supposed to be shipping this year), that amount of cores is probably going to be even cheaper than it is now. On the other hand, GPUs are absurdly expensive right now as a result of multiple factors (people being home and gaming due to covid, crypto miners, lower supply of parts due to covid), but we'll see in a year.
Also, I'm pretty sure the goal of this research was not that you can train a DNN on your laptop, but that there is more democratization in the distribution of training power. Maybe some day a mid sized organization will be able to train a competitive model on a buch of off the shelf (or rented) servers...
The like/dislike feature IS NOT for the creator. Whatever Youtube claims now, the ratio always served as an indicator to other users of the platform first, feedback to the creator second. Not to mention that the way you say "i mean, you can still click a button" is incredibly elitist, dismissive and undemocratic. Having a dislike feature without publicly showing the ratio is a political equivalent of saying "Well we can't have these bottom feeders voting on something and seeing the results. We'll let them vote, sure, but then dupm the ballots into a landfill."... Anyways I'm pretty sure all this pleading to democracy and freedom will fall on deaf ears since the powers that control the US government and big tech (and I don't mean the democrats, I mean the progressives) are obsessed with control and limiting speech. I don't doubt some of these people even think dislikes are disinfo campaigns probably done by Trump voters (which is kinda implied in the tweet) and thus need to be erased from the record.

That is where i stopped reading. If you're not using an IDE in 2021, you're not working on serious software/big codebases/commercial projects and what you have to say is not something I'm interested in, ESPECIALLY when talking about UX of programming! VIM, oh please... time to have a nap, grandpa.
Big tech better make sure that they don't fly too close to the sun. The sun being socialist takeover of the U.S. (i.e. true progressives, whose links to socialism are undeniable, taking over the democratic party). Because most of them would not came out of that transformation unscathed.
The guy is pound for pound the worst polluter of all the billionaires, flies everywhere in a jet, has a completely ridiculous and wasteful $150M house, imports the sand on his beach from the Caribbean, hoards farm land (biggest farm land owner in the US... farm land which is generallly pretty bad for the environment)... and on top of that, he's not a climate scientist, he's not a medical doctor, he's a former computer engineer and a manager. He also likes burgers. THAT'S IT. Why on Earth would people listen to him on any topic other than how to manage an IT business is beyond me.
Yep. This article is kinda pretentious to be honest. Most people writing software know these, they just ignore (or work around) some of them due to the complexity of implementing them (cost/benefit doesn't make sense here).
I mean, some of these depend on where you live. Some egomaniac in the USA probably can stick a number in their kid's name (I'm guessing that's going to depend on the state? Even Musk wasn't allowed to use numbers.), but generally it's not something that's allowed. At least not in the EU.
Sure, but this is not a Google issue per se, this is a browser issue. If they f** up and put you on a phishing list and your business just evaporates because people's browsers literally stop working with your site, that goes far beyond what google does as a private company on its private platform. I think this is totally worth suing for and probably winning.
