> options that the rescue team are familiar with and trained for.

Eh, don't overestimate how common this rescue was. The techniques they used in the end appear to be unprecedented underwater - cave diving is sufficiently dangerous that rescuing people who can't move under their own power is unheard of. So people don't train for that.

Notably, while the the two cave divers who actually found the kids had done successful cave rescues before in dry caves, this appears to be the first time they've ever successfully rescued someone underwater - all their prior experience underwater was body recoveries (one of which following a failed attempt(1) to rescue a cave diver).

Heck, there's a school of thought in cave diving that rejects the usual scuba diving practice of having a buddy in favour of diving solo. It's common for the rescue attempt to simply end up killing the dive buddy as well rather than saving a life: https://cavedivinggroup.org.uk/in-praise-of-solo-cave-diving...

That's not what the final advice is, the author is suggesting the use of "meta-rationality":

> "AI is a wolpertinger: not a coherent, unified technical discipline, but a peculiar hybrid of fields with diverse ways of seeing, diverse criteria for progress, and diverse rational and non-rational methods. Characteristically, meta-rationality evaluates, selects, combines, modifies, discovers, creates, and monitors multiple frameworks."

Although not expanded on in this essay, it seems like the whole blog is dedicated to the topic.

> I just wanted a phone that did the same thing my old phone could do

This is what happens when the buyer (or cheque signer!) is not a user.

To make a sale, the phone vendors has to bid or propose, and for them to stand out, phone needs features. Whether those features make sense or not probably matters less than whether they "beat" the competitors' feature list.

I wonder if there's a way to delegate to the actual users of tools and equipment, the responsibility of evaluating said tool?

I find sometimes the whine is there... you (and others like you) just lack the high frequency hearing to perceive it.

I’ve walked into plenty of places and complained about many high pitched whine noises over the years, and more often than not, I get a puzzled look followed by some variation of “what noise?”

And to preempt the obvious possibility I was merely hearing things or have tinnitus. Yes I’ve had my hearing checked, and I’ve also, on a couple of particularly egregious occasions, used sound measuring equipment that in one case validated that there was in fact a loud intermittent, nearly inaudible noise fluctuating between 80 and 85 decibels whenever it was occurring, that apparently no one else in the office noticed.
> Mr Stanton told reporters: "This was completely uncharted, unprecedented territory and nothing like this has been done. So, of course there were doubts. (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-44819416)

Those involved don't seem to think it was what they were familiar with, at all. Basically, the people that normally get trapped miles into flooded caves are other cave divers - not children who can barely swim at all. Especially in an environment where panic kills (they're still very guarded about admitting whether or not the kids were medicated to prevent panics, but this is exactly why they probably should have been).

This is the same diver that found the kids, and the same diver who was telling Musk to hurry up. If he thought it was an option worth having, I'm more than willing to defer to his expertise. I don't think that's the part that went wrong - it was creating and then mishandling the publicity that's stung.

Didn't mean to bash the lang design team at all, actually i was kinda hoping for you folks to reply interesting and tricky stuff about how things are not so simple.

This is probably only because you didn't develop the answer fully but i still struggle to see how monads (or other structures in that family) couldn't apply here: they aren't implemented in any way and just provide interface (eg not caring about rust at all, the semantic of that feature here is very monadic, it should mostly behave like the CPS monad). Anyway, i'm gonna stop arguing, look at how it is/will be implemented and hopefully wait for that essay of yours, to have a broader picture.
Mm, not quite. Racket's greenthreads are incredible, and they don't use explicit yielding. I've always wanted something similar for JS.
As a person that works in software development and trying to make sense of data - I found the article pretty interesting after the paragraph below. The discussion around science, engineering and adjacencies are good to keep in mind.

> AI researchers often say they are doing engineering. This can sound defensive, when you point out that they aren’t doing science: “Yeah, well, I’m just doing engineering, making this widget work better.” It can also sound derisive, when you suggest that philosophical considerations are relevant: “I’m doing real work, so that airy-fairy stuff is irrelevant. As an engineer, I think metaphysics is b.s.”
Maybe it's a way to fundraise. Take rich people into space, they're wowed, impressed, etc, and then more likely to invest in them?

Actually we know that intelligence is mostly genetic (especially at the high end), but even if it isn’t, the family environment provided by (most) intelligent parents is very conducive to raising intelligent children.

It doesn’t matter the means (environment or genetic) as both will contribute to smart parents raising smart children (provided they have children).

Org-mode[0] is the best merge I've found between plain text and more powerful workflow/scheduling features.

I synchronize to android using Orgzly[1].

If I wasn't on Emacs as my main editor, I would just use plain text. There have been efforts to get Org-mode working in other editors, but I don't know how good they are.

The benefits of plain text are more important to me than the benefits of the special features. I've used a lot of todo apps, and some of them are very good for specific tasks, but most aren't adaptable enough for my needs. Eventually I gave up and went to plain text, and was happy. Org-mode is just a better version of plain text.

Reading sounds very smart, don't do it. My advice is to start working out. Not running -- weight lifting or body weight workouts. Find a program and worry solely about following its instructions.

You'll learn quickly about how diet affects your performance and recovery time. And then you'll understand how the food you eat affects your body.

> Clearly, the alternative is to use a stretcher.

edit: To be clear, I'm talking about what's the alternative if the stretcher doesn't work? That was a major risk.

If I were in there position, I'd strongly consider a stretcher too. But I'd feel much better knowing there was a backup plan.

> I have no doubt this is the method of choice for more good reasons than I can possibly think of.

Indeed it is. But all those rescues were performed above the water, in breathable air. Adding water to that mix is a huge change. Heck, I know someone who was involved in a rescue from a very wet cave with a significant river flowing through it that was flooding. They said one of the hardest parts of the rescue was keeping the victim in a stretcher out of the water so they wouldn't drown.

Yes, the sub was untested and nobody had any experience with it. But rescuing untrained victims with a mask was also untested and nobody had any experience doing it. I'm sure that uncertainty is why Musk was asked by Richard Stanton - one of the two divers who found the kids in the first place - to keep working on it.

Incidentally, by caving standards all dive gear is a "fancy contraption" - dive gear is notoriously fragile by caving standards.

Sending your own employees up first will work out even worse financially. I assume it's a combination of safety testing, eating-your-own-dogfood (in a potentially fatal sense), working out minor kinks for an overall positive experience, and maybe that cost includes a lot of the startup/fixed costs and the final amortized cost will be closer to under $200k.

There's a missing be-all, do-all, external brain app that I've always wanted in this space. Something that aggregates data from the internet offline; something that stores all my projects and info; something that stores tasks in a useful format; something that exposes lenses on that data (calendars, task lists, mind maps); something that ties into my browser to let me store new things and find existing things (imagine if your awesome-bar searched your external brain before heading off to Google!); something that bookmarks things; something that stores all my notes. There've been a few attempts at the be-all/end-all PIM, but nothing's achieved enough of it to stick, IMHO.

In the meantime, for daily stuff I slap things into a text file in Sublime Text, for longer term stuff I schedule things into my calendar so that I'll remember to slap it into the textfile for the day on the day. I've tried so many TODO managers, paper notebooks, etc. -- nothing seems to stick, because I always get frustrated at how small the scope is and tack things on the side until the house of cards collapses.
It's a little misleading to call it "the exact same place as any other keyboard".

And how do you know when you've actually pressed it, if the app doesn't immediately indicate it, and you're not looking down at the "button"?

> In the case of Mr. Musk and his submarine, the Thai authorities understood that they needed to let the expert cave divers plan and direct the rescue operation

Thailand is a military junta that had to be very carefully not to lose face, getting the boys out HAD to be sold as a Thailand run story internally.

The things done would not have been in the boys interest.

I think the Thai's went early to keep face. It's possible the cave divers backed them since the longer you leave it, the great chance of deaths. It might have matched, but there would have been more politics involved than there should have been.

I'd like to know how the Thai Navy Seal diver died.
You’re trying to say that each one of the examples I gave can actually be explained away and really doesn’t say anything about our society, but I do think that the fact that you had to spill so much explaining these terms says as much as needs to be said on the matter.
There's not even a hard definition of what constitutes life. He may have proven something, but it's probably more nuanced than that.
Being a copycat, i.e. reverse-engineering hardware made by successful companies, is how the companies in Shenzen are learning how to make their own hardware. When they start making their own hardware, the people who continued to dismiss them as copycats are going to be totally blindsided.

Is Blue Origin's business model exclusively space tourism? If so, I think that's unlikely to sustain them.

SpaceX is busy building the intercontinental railroad to space; if Blue Origin is not building toward a similarly ambitious and lucrative goal it looks like they're going to get left behind.
This is super impractical. Although we'd all like to be able to set our own schedules there are deadlines to meet, meetings to attend and relationships to tend to. When everyone around you is working the 9-5 you've got to meet them halfway. Waking up early, eating healthful meals and exercising are good ways to do that.

And by the way, this talk about "prime time" is insane. You can get into flow whenever if you block out distraction, buckle down and are actually good at what you do.

You don't want to go down this road either. Once again, this "solves" the wrong problem. Be very wary of anyone who claims that weakening encryption is essential to security, short-term or long-term.
Most people in rich countries don’t get a very good education, but most very smart people (even girls) born anywhere do get a chance. I do agree we could do better, but things are overall improving.

The trade show situation, however, is entirely different, however, because the whole thing is purely about marketing. There's no trial product whose real value could be substituted for that marketing.

That said, I'm having trouble with this seeming contradiction:

> Sure, it's unwanted, but _I did sign up for it_.

Maybe "want" is too strong a word, but you certainly knew you were willing to tolerate it when you did sign up for it.

Conversely, when I'm at a trade show, because I find those emails truly unwanted (and actually intolerable from vendors in whom I have no interest), if I've registered with a real e-mail address, I don't share it just for the octopus t-shirt.

Maybe it can lead to lucritive contracts. It could be advertising: you take clients who are wealthy enough to pay $200k for the experience, those clients might be business owners/influencial folks, who are then moved to integrate it in some what into what they do? Seems plausable at least.

Then again, Bezos could float the company for quite a long time if he personally invests, so maybe it's just a way to build credit and then do other things (e.g. gov. contracts). Amazon was unprofitable for quite a long time before it took over the world, afterall..
Honestly,I would be more willing to pay for a ride into the Mariana trench or other extremely deep ocean expeditions. I get it's about the experience but imagine seeing creatures few people (if anyone) has ever seen.

Also look at data volume. There may be much more data in table(s) after long usage and long after the code was originally written.

If it is a high throughput application you should have monitoring in place that can point you to where slowness may be. Some tools will having timings on queries, loops, HTML/XML generation, etc. If not, get a profiler.
