1) most ordinary entrepreneurs can find plenty of work handling finished goods, e.g. FBA. It’s the capital that is needed for them to start which is a problem for those who would rather buy a mortgage, vacation, etc. than build a business.

2) I find your opinion of a corporate social contract terrifying. If anything, entrepreneurialism is necessary for the ex nihilo creation of labor demand to keep society stable.
>"He never said in the market."

What "they" said was:

>"that is money the government is investing and earning a return on."

"Investing money and earning a return on it" is universally understood to mean putting your money to work in the financial markets. Your comment is disingenuous at best.

Further governments don't earn a "return" when they spend money on a stoplight or a bridge. Infrastructure requires upkeep, maintenance and eventual replacement.

It's a coast center not a profit center. If it was the latter governments would be building infrastructure like crazy and running a budget surplus. And that clearly isn't the case is it?

I try to run my scripts on /bin/sh (on a system where that's not just a symlink to a fancier shell) before posting them. That means it's more portable, but still not universal. I don't typically have bash on my BSD systems, and when I do, they're not installed to /bin, so this is also somewhat out of self interest as well.

> there are two types of solutions you end up with: ones that can calculate the answer in a couple of milliseconds and the ones that would take years to finish

This is of course a bit of an overstatement, but I generally agree that (depending on the language you're using, and the problem you're solving), there are quick solutions and slow ones. However, based on the videos he posted, the author seems to have stopped just before the Advent of Code problem most likely to make his CPU cry! Day 14 didn't have an obvious optimal solution, so there were quite a lot of correct solutions that took seconds, not milliseconds. (If you're curious, check out this awesome post from /u/askalski [1] on getting it to run truly fast.)

Humans seem to be naturally inclined to pick the "best" option, and naturally frustrated by the fact that best changes so often depending upon the situation. In almost any situation as a programmer, you're deciding between several competing priorities. There's your speed as a programmer, your code's speed for the target hardware, your ability to get people to help you with the code, either via hires or online documentation, etc.

With regards to Advent of Code (which I also completed this year, and really enjoyed!), the "right" solution in Python could often be hundreds of times slower than the right solution in C or Rust -- just check out the benchmarks for similar toy problems [2]. That doesn't mean the solution is wrong, it just means that the author has decided that a couple seconds of the CPU's time are worth the benefit of using a higher level language, which is often a reasonable choice.

There is actually a community in India (so I've read - not sure if true) that does that - the Todas.

> A state (or any other local government) shouldn't be allowed to subsidize individual businesses, nor whole industries

Does this apply to green industries as well? How about industries that pollute? Should there just be one flat tax for every business regardless of revenue/income? How about valid business deductions? Should all capital equipment depreciate the same as well? Should payroll taxes be the same regardless of the number of workers and their incomes?

It's nice to say there should be no subsidies on businesses or industries and I agree with the sentiment, but in actuality there is a lot of complexity in the tax code and a "level playing field" would be a drastic change to what we have now.

For instance, you could think businesses should be taxed progressively on income. So now you have to define revenue and expenses, which can leave a lot of arbitrary distinctions and vast differences among businesses and industries.

> Allowing it just means businesses can play states out against each other and it becomes a race to the bottom

There's already competition among cities, states and countries and its generally a good thing. Some states offer differences in taxes (e.g. rates, income vs property, etc), regulations (e.g. zoning, employment), benefits (e.g. state sponsored insurance), infrastructure (e.g. roads & bridges). This is thought to be a great benefit as smaller political entities can experiment to lure people and businesses. Not to mention it makes. Having a top down approach doesn't really make sense. I don't think its a race to the bottom, it's competition and states and cities should have to compete to provide its residences and businesses the best deal.

This is by far the weirdest of all arguments ever. The OP compares faster execution of code to being a comfortable aircraft and slower to an uncomfortable train. What he missed out on is, that it's easier to build out code that may execute slow, but works(making it more comfortable - room for quick changes to the product), rather than making something that takes a hell lot longer to make(and then spend proportionately longer when you have to change something)

I'll take Ruby vs C as an example. If I was to test out a weekend project, I'd rather choose ruby, even if it's going to be slow, as I can focus on finishing everything in the few hours that I have

I suppose you mean that you run tmux locally and then you ssh into a server and run screen remotely?

If so, I wonder how hard it would be to make tmux into a client of itself using control mode. I only learned about control mode when I discovered iTerm2's tmux integration, whereby remote tmux windows materialize as "actual" terminal windows on my desktop. However, for the same reason that iTerm2 can resize a window, create a new one, show and hide them, etc, I would _imagine_ it's possible to have your remote tmux windows materialize as tmux windows in your local tmux, and thus would be managed using only a single prefix key.

I would guess such a capability would need to be baked into tmux, but I actually wonder how much code would actually be required, since control mode already exists and clearly works quite well.
The logical positivists of the early 20th century held a semi-silly, self-defeating, and untenable position/range-of-positions in epistemology. No one in analytical philosophy takes their original, strong version of empiricism seriously.

One problem is that the more nuanced and plausible weaker versions of empiricism are not held by a number of prominent thinkers in the sciences. Instead, many of them (experts in their respective domains) continue to believe in and espouse semi-silly, self-defeating, and untenable versions of empiricism.

Whether Bach actually does is perhaps arguable. What the parent was referring to when he mentioned western rationality being myopic at times is probably something like what I described above.

Yes but consciousness is not in any way a foundation of the universe. It's a foundation of our own experience, but if you take a mechanicistic, reductionist approach, consciousness is pretty high in the ranking of things. I'm not saying its explanation must be necessarily complex, but so far the simple explanations didn't work.

> Neural networks can be expressed in fraction of that complexity

That's not an explanation. That's a rule to construct them. Same for evolution: one thing is to define a basic rule that underlies a phenomena, another thing is to explain why we like peanut butter and jelly using evolutionary psychology. The basic rule doesn't capture much. And sometimes, maybe, there's not even a basic rule to begin with, because we conflate a lot of stuff in concepts that have no root or relationships in the physical world.
I wonder what kind of military technology is acceptable in today's standards of morality. This is just a drone. It's not autonomous. It's a remote control car with weapons or radars mounted on top, controlled by a human looking through a camera. The military use case would be to reduce the possibility of human casualties.

Not sure how better to word this. I literally do not understand what kind of military technology is acceptable. Is the common position that no war should exist, no guns should exist, no conflict should exist, and anyone else anywhere in the world that wants to hurt other people should be allowed to without repercussion? Is the idea that if we don't invest in military technology countries like Russia, China, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia will just make batteries and toys? What is the position I'm supposed to be aligned with?

If more people reproduced the dmcrypt issue and commented in the bugzilla issue it'd put more pressure on upstream to revert the known offending commit.

For some reason they seem to be prioritizing the supposedly improved dmcrypt performance over fairness under load, even though it makes our modern machines behave like computers from the 90s; unable to play MP3s and access the disk without audio underruns.

I assume it's because they're not hearing enough complaints.
Heh, that's fine, I don't mind the terminal or the GUI, as long as you're rationally using either and aren't blaming either for your problems. I see a lot of "I only use the terminal" type of people who screw up GUIs and the reverse can be said, GUI users who screw up the terminal, it's all about RTFM'ing sometimes, or just reading what's right in front of you.

I never said philosophers. They're free to say what they want because few people pay much attention to what they say. You included social science in your earlier comment and I was discussing that field specifically. The overlap between "orthodoxies in society" and orthodoxies in that field is so complete that research is largely agenda-driven and dictated by politics.

And isn't Harvard academia? Isn't Google in a position to restrict free inquiry both inside and outside academia?

Perhaps we do disagree about whether there should be an obligation to allow free expression. You may have found its restriction temporarily comfortable; perhaps you're even glad that people who disagree with you weren't allowed to speak in those cases. But the backlash against such restriction helped lead to the election of Trump. When we abandon liberal values we return to the chaos of no-holds-barred fights for power.

How did you manage? I've never hit the limit in like 20 years. Maybe 260 bytes means only 130 2-byte characters (I don't even know) and that I might find a little restrictive maybe.

Artificial neural networks also have different regions that have very different properties from each other. They have convolutional layers and fully connected layers, and some architectures have separate semantic labelling and visual processing parts. Take a look at Mask R-CNN for example:

>as I really don't think that smaller studios do

A great amount of indies do. Super Meat Boy was built with a hand rolled engine. Same for Cave Story, Binding of Isaac, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Dwarf Fortress, Celeste and many other memorable titles.

It's more intense on the Japanese side though. Loads of -doujin- game developers, like the many Touhou spinoffs games handroll their own stuff.

I'd say, using a prebuilt engine ecosystem has become more common with the appearance and growth of Unity but it hasn't stopped people doing their own thing and it certainly hasn't been a solely positive contribution, you criticize elitism in the days when the Steam store pages are flooded by trashy asset flips and barely working early access games that sometimes never truly get finished. A little bit elitism would in fact not hurt if we don't want to hit another video game industry crash.

I remember this issue (I commented in it a few years ago).

On the bright side, WSL as a development environment is no longer slow when it comes to real world usage. I've been using it for full time web app development for the last year and even made a video about my entire set up and configuration a week ago[0].

For example with WSL you can easily get <= 100ms code reloads even through a Docker for Windows volume on really big applications with thousands of files, such as a Rails app.

Even compiling ~200kb of SCSS through a few Webpack loaders (inside of Docker with a volume) takes ~600ms with Webpack's watcher. It's glorious.

I haven't had a single performance issue with a bunch of different Rails, Flask, Node, Phoenix and Jekyll apps (with and without Webpack). This is with all source code being mounted in from a spinning disk drive too, so it can get a lot faster.

So while maybe in a micro-benchmark, the WSL file system might be an order of magnitude slower (or worse) than native Linux, it doesn't really seem to matter much when you use it in practice.

Had bitcoin not been sold as a way to get rich, it's likely that most people would have still never heard of it.

It's unfortunate that most people misunderstand what Bitcoin is because they can only think of it in terms of legacy financial instruments (ie, treat it like a stock).

However, there's no doubt that many people who are in it for the technology and liberty got to know about it because someone else made money and started bragging.
Well, there's plagiarism and then there's impersonating a well-known (admittedly in niche circles) brand to make money. I think they made a good call here.

I find this somewhat surprising.

If you think of AI code designed for GPUs, there I can see "yeah you can practice on a CPU". It'll suck but it'll work.

For quantum tech the entire sales pitch is that it's fundamentally different...doing what's near impossible on conventional hardware.

I appreciated the rudimentary presentation of the capabilities and limitations of the machine and calling out the connectivity of the qubits versus a universal quantum machine which would have full connectivity between all the bits.

I’d be curious is there a simple formula for calculating the “effective universal qubits” of the D-Wave?

2,048 indeed sounds like a lot of qubits based on my extremely limited knowledge of quantum, but with only ~6k connections versus fully connected which would be n(n-1)/2 = ~2mil is it just a marketing gimmick?

Why is it useful to push the bit count so high if the connectivity is so limited?

There are concerns and aspects of software engineering that are important to document but don't sit well in code, but they become important when reading / maintaining that code. Design decisions (implementation details), specification details, other design or engineering constraints. And of course business modeling fundamentals and constraints.

Sure, in theory, you can do everything in code, but I find that usually this trade off is taken, as there's no time/budget to go that 80% extra time. (Or however the Pareto curve looks for the actual problem. And usually it's not less than 80, but more.)
