Well I'm not sure what you think you're referring to then.

Do you mean an IR where all core library routines are first-class citizens, with their own nodes and information about their semantics encoded so that the compiler can reason about them?
Yeah, I thought it was weird that they didn't link the actual service
Either there used to be a lot of iron-workers (smiths) around in English-speaking areas back then, or iron-workers were especially good at making babies (and not just horseshoes).

If we were adopting surnames today, I'd pick Hacker over Engineerer or Softwarer or Programmer. Or maybe Forger, since it is someone who builds things. Smiths also forge.

Truffle languages don't require hundreds or thousands of man years of work. That's the point of them: implementing a language on Truffle is very easy compared to writing something like V8. You "just" write an interpreter and then extra code after that is about performance.

Most of the Truffle languages have small teams, like 2-3 engineers tops, and that's sufficient to catch up with and then keep pace with even a well funded ecosystem like JavaScript. For instance the GraalJS team keep adding proposed JS language features that aren't even fully rolled out yet.

As for why, well, Truffle languages have a bunch of advantages over implementing engines in other ways:

- They all interop with each other, with JVM bytecode languages, with anything that compiles to LLVM, and anything that runs on WebAssembly. All in the same VM with the same heap (i.e. they can all use pointers to each others constructs).

- You get access to HotSpot and in particular its state of the art GCs.

- Graal is an excellent compiler. V8 is better but only for JavaScript and only in warmup time; once code is warmed up (for servers) GraalJS produces code just as good as V8.

- You get a lot of sophisticated visualisation and debugging tools, both to help you develop and optimise the language (IGV) but also to analyse programs in production (VisualVM, JFR).

- You can support native extensions using [Safe] Sulong.

- You get debugger support for free, because Truffle languages all support the Chrome DevTools debugger protocol.

- They just added support for the language server protocol so you get some automatic support for IDEs.

- You get a consistent sandboxing API for free.

- Probably a lot of other things I forgot.

So you get a better engine than most languages can afford, for way less cost, with way more features and access to a huge ecosystem of libraries from all the different languages. Pretty snazzy.
It looks like Mir's approach to this is to build a jit compiler that has access to the C source of the standard library and can inline it into the JITted code of Ruby functions, and vice versa. Building a compiler that can handle mixed-language input might be easier than rewriting the standard Library to all be in one language.
Completely secure investments have low interest rates, sure. But, imo, this argument falls apart if you look at investing into any form of real estate and any semi-desirable area.
To me those are two very different statement, at least for my interpretation of the first statement. If the VW exec was referring to very hard weather conditions, then fair enough, but I doubt that's what he meant.

The Waymo CEO was very clearly referring to extreme conditions like storms, and honestly, most humans can't and shouldn't drive in said conditions, so it's not that crazy to say Waymo may never be able to either.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's Uber. Which then raises the question of why there isn't public transit.

While transportation in Houston's sprawl is a factor (and yes, duh, requires a car for almost everybody commuting), the quality of life in Houston, even considering the heat, humidity, and potential for flooding if you buy too close to a flood-prone bayou, is literally orders of magnitude higher than NYC. Seriously, NYC (or any other congested city like it) is just below Hell on the list of places I NEVER want to be, much less live...) . I lived in Houston for 10 years, and although I like Austin better overall, there are things I really miss about Houston. I would not live in NYC for any level of income. Seriously - offer me $3M/yr and I'll say you're not even close...

I normally try to refrain from too-direct political discussion here too, but I feel I need to comment on this:

Stuff like this is why we have Trump as President: because the Democrats somehow just can't keep from shooting themselves in the foot, over and over and over again.

Seriously, how out of touch do you have to be to make a comment like Biden's?

And don't forget, this is a guy who voted for the Iraq War in 2003, so somehow he has a problem with game developers "teaching how to kill", but he has no problem with actually sending young people overseas to kill real people because of some obviously made-up BS about WMD. What a hypocrite.

My prediction: this year, the Democrats will nominate yet another lousy candidate, who will go on to lose the general election to Trump. Then we'll have a huge recession. China will eventually take over as the sole superpower.
It's probably like how V8 works. Even though JS is dynamically typed, V8 will keep internal static type definitions around based on what it sees when running, and trap out internally to the slow path when the types don't match what it thinks should happen rather than throwing type errors.

Good thread!
I agree with your points and with Schneier's position that surveillance is problematic, not facial recognition in particular.

Schneier's article is published as an opinion in part due to editorial convention but also because his expert opinion is that opposing facial recognition will not pragmatically curtail surveillance.

On a deeper level, Schneier's point presumes that surveillance is a problem, which is an opinion and is the tacit foundation of Scheneir's article.

Hence, the article is editorially categorized, correctly in my opinion, in the opinion column.

Counter example: I knew a guitarist who was just amazing. This guy could play any solo, any chord, and improvize. He was quick, and had crazy exercises (besides his normal one). One exercise he had: 30 minutes per day, just strum to build up strength.

Unfortunately, playing music was his only gift. He lived alone on welfare. At least he lived in a country that gave him welfare. But I can easily imagine many musicians who focus on their craft and need to scour for food. Heck, that's to some extent even in my country the case, because if you're only good at music and horrible with money, you won't survive on welfare (I've seen that too, just not with this talented musician).

So IMO it's more complicated than that.

Are you referring to the internet communities drama with the COCs and the cancel culture?

My comment was referring to real human communities, as an example in my village was introduced a garbage tax and some people were upset)including some in my family) because they did not want to pay for disposing teh garbage, the ones that burned was put to fire and the other kind was abandoned or thrown in the local river. In this case you see that sometimes new rules do not make all people happy. In case you will object because of the financial issue then there is a similar example but a few hundreds years back where a law was passed that you can shit everywhere you want and you must have a hygienic place or other law was pased and children were "forced" into schools instead of working the farms.
The poor invest in a retirement account their whole lives that results in no asset to leave to their children. The way social security works today robs the poor of the ability to create generational wealth.

They might be spending 0.1% of their wealth (which they could never spend in 10 lifetimes anyway) on protection from an event (war on US soil or loss of their US assets) that has 0.5-5% chance of happening during their lifetimes. Put it like that, it is quite rational.

While even their entire wealth won't make them life forever. 100 billion is a drop in bucket for senescence research, especially if it has to yield results within 20-30 years.
Body temperature tends to decrease because of a deficiency in thyroid hormone also. Many of the synthetic chemicals used to treat modern day home goods seem to impact this system. I'd be curious whether there is any correlation there.

Why the Maigret novels are still worth savouring
I agree and I think this brings up an interesting point: given the liquidity in the public stock market, employees are often more invested in the long-term success of the company than shareholders. For this reason, I think it's essential that employees are represented in a company's ownership structure if we want to ensure the long-term health of our economy.
>Yeah right. What on earth would motivate them to prolong everybody’s life?

1) Profit
2) What makes you think they can keep it secret?

In case you haven't noticed, people in developed countries aren't having kids any more. The population will stabilize: people who can afford anti-senescence therapy will live a very long time, but have very few (if any kids). People who have a lot of kids won't be able to afford any therapy and will die young, but eventually their offspring will become wealthier and will stop reproducing so much.

> It's crucial to work hard, but FOR YOU, not for your employeer.

If you have enough starting wealth, it's not crucial to work hard.

If you have too little starting wealth, or don't have exceptional talent, or are just unlucky, working hard for yourself either isn't an option or still won't payoff.

If you have the right combination of not too much and not too little starting wealth, plus talent, plus luck, then, sure, working hard (either for yourself or for others, plenty of people have made it work each way) can be crucial.

I've cooked a week's worth of rice in about 30 minutes and you can cook a potato in the microwave in 5 minutes.

Again, we're right back to where we started with elitist mentality.

You think poor people care about brown rice VS. white rice? What next, are you going to say, "yeah, but organic, free range, free trade, hand picked, carbon neutral rice costs 5x more, and what, no salad?". No one cares but you.

What I see here is a bunch of rich people projecting their difficulty making a simple meal on to poor people.
It is optional to let CloudFlare cache the content. I believe you can control it from the CloudFlare control panel as well as affect it from your HTTP headers. So I bet they have the feature enabled on the panel but their HTTP headers tell CloudFlare not to cache the page, maybe accidentally.

I get that you are putting a "pure" driving experience on a pedestal and from an aesthetic standpoint I tend to agree, but it sounds like you haven't had to mop up after a catastrophic collision. Tens of thousands of people die every year (edit- in highway collisions) and you are complaining about technologies designed with the express intent to mitigate that, so how do I look at your gripe as anything but selfish nostalgia?
I agree with everything you said here. Except I'd emphasize the trick is to keep it still being a "no-brainer because it's so cheap" decision even at higher prices, by adding more value to the service as he goes (as you also said). Not necessarily with the same users, to be sure.
I could get a coat that lasts years for $10 now and I could do the same 25 years ago. Same with a coat costing $80 or $1000. All those coats should last years. Any one of them that lasts under a year would be a scam, a piece of garbage that shouldn't be sold. Even at $1 that'd be true. I'm not sure what your point is at all.
Why is it disingenuous?

What if the OP sold and immediately bought another asset that had similarly appreciated? What if they sold, changed their mind, and immediately re-bought the same asset? In both these cases the "made" 25K (or somewhat less if we factor in cap gains tax) is in a similarly precarious position to the just-keep-holding case.

Is it the case that to have "made money" you need to take that money permanently out of play? Does that in turn mean then when you invest money that money shouldn't count toward your net worth because it might lose value in the future?
They do mention this in the article:

> As part of the study, the authors investigated the possibility that the decrease could simply reflect improvements in thermometer technology; thermometers used today are far more accurate than those used two centuries ago. “In the 19thcentury, thermometry was just beginning,” Parsonnet said.

> To assess whether temperatures truly decreased, the researchers checked for body temperature trends within each dataset; for each historical group, they expected that measurements would be taken with similar thermometers. Within the veterans dataset, they observed a similar decrease for each decade, consistent with observations made using the combined data.

I would say the entire concept of "retirement" is what depletes generational wealth in those capable of building it. Not that generational wealth should be a goal, as it only concentrates wealth in the hands of the most wealthy -- I don't think it's an accident that wealth inequality hockey-sticked around the time the estate tax was repealed.
