But now Americans do use "delve" since 3.5. So what? No Americans used "cromulent" as a word either until Simpsons invented it. Is it not a real word? Does using it mean the Simpsons wrote it?
I never thought about it but it is odd car-components are the only thing most people will experience with a "core" charge. Why don't more industries do something similar? Is it just because car ownership and car repair has been such a core (no pun intended) component of American culture? That a system of recycling has been set up?
I was curious about when and where these core charges started. It looks like it was the result of WW2 and the shortage of steel and other materials forcing both the military and civilian manufacturers to turn to recycling and rebuilding parts out of necessity. After the war, the remanufacturing industry was large enough to stand on its own and the concepts stuck around. Some hazardous items like lead acid batteries have legislation helping to enforce the core charges but the rest seem to be market driven.
So someone else linked the original flamegraph site [0] and it describes icicle graphs as "inverting the y axis" but that's not only what's happening, right? You bucket top-down the stack opposed to bottom-up, correct?
It's certainly possible that what I encountered, labeled as an 'icicle graph', is a nonstandard usage of the term. But if so, that's a shame. I don't think inverting the y-axis is useful by itself, the different bucketing is what makes for an actually useful change.
> is entirely self-contained in the weights produced at the end, right?
Yes, and the knowledge gained along the way. For example, the new TPUv4 that Google uses requires rack and DC aware technologies (like optical switching fabric) for them to even work at all. The weights are important, and there is open weights, but only Google and the like are getting the experience and SOTA tech needed to operate cheaply at scale.
If you want a real answer, its increased penalties / extra charges if caught in the "zone".
