The app needs to additionally make these features available as system services[1]. It shouldn't take more than a few extra lines of code to do so, and the advantage is that you can select text in any app to use as input.

Because we need truly fantastic levels of storage to make renewables even remotely feasible. The US has 8 seconds of battery storage, and ~4 minutes of hydroelectric storage. We need 12 hours of storage to get to 80% renewable generation, and 3 weeks of storage to get to 100% renewable generation [1]. And even if we did go this route, we'd still need to cover 3-5% of the landmass of the Earth with solar panels to achieve this.

I've tried that, and didn't like it. The separate numpad that I have (it came with a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard) has different keys than the rest of the keyboard and always slid around. I like a nice heavy keyboard with mechanical switches, and I like to move it to suit my seating position, so it's never on the same spot on my desk.
As long as the mining activity was by informed consent, i.e. no slavery explicit nor implicit, any life and healthcost of mining, recycling and disposal is incurred with informed consent...
I agree with you that relying on startups alone is not enough.

Hence my heavy emphasis on foreign competition entering local markets; and of cross-industry competition. Like Walmart entering retail banking.

Microsoft and Intel are excellent examples! They were eventually toppled in their dominance, but it took quite a few years.

My argument is essentially that toppling Microsoft and Intel in about a decade is all we can hope for; and that it is enough.

Adding extra regulation mostly just gives the guys with the more expensive lawyers and lobbyists more tools.
What good is all of this semblance of free speech when the communication and print platforms of our age that enable the transmission of vast portions of our speech essentially dictate what they will carry and what they wont.

Unless you publish a physical book of course and then promote it and distribute it yourself or on a much smaller scale, you post pamphlets on utility poles or other such low tech-low reach media, a FB or a Twitter or a Tik Tok can take down even your "missing pet" posts, because your pet breed offends some people in some manner. They reserve the right to do so. Of course you wont find them doing that, but the fact that they have to power to do so, in itself should be disconcerting.

I don't know what you're getting at ( in this post ; I havent read your blog post yet ) but America currently is one of the most restrictive places on earth to express your thoughts and then hope to have them transmitted fairly to a wide swath of people, both geographically and ideologically.

America still has some of the strongest court

Also, I don't know what that means.
In what sense is mindshare important to you (as opposed to "Cue satisfies or doesn't satisfy your own needs?")

Do you want to share schemas and instances with other people?

Are you concerned about tooling now and the future?
This is an absolutely critical point. Trump appears to be subverting institutions ranging from inspector generals to the military to the post office. I bet the IRS is his prime target.
Not a hardware company yet. There was a time where Amazon and Google were not hardware companies.

But I think saying they are not a hardware company is a bit unfair. Oculus by itself is a tremendously hard and complex hardware business.
Portal less so, but it’s still a meaningful device with a lot of complexity.

Also Facebook infrastructure must have hundreds of proprietary hardware elements that are built specifically for their own use cases.

But I get what you’re saying. From all the tech behemoths, FB is the by far the least experienced in hardware. But I think it’s pretty clear that FB sees hardware as a column of their long term vision. That alone is enough reason to invest on developing your own hardware.
Glad to see this here, this one is good. Disappointed but not entirely surprised that people are downplaying what's covered in this video.
> That being said I also think that the life sentencing was probably appropriate considering he started the silk road as a fully grown man, so it's a clear reflection of his morals and empathy.

I believe the purpose of prison should be to rehabilitate people, and put them on track to become contributing members of society.

This statement shows a viewpoint that prison sentences should be given as a way to separate bad people from the rest of society.

All humans are capable of growth and change. It’s better for society as a whole if we can enable this growth and then allow them to return to society as full contributing members. The attitude of prison being a punishment or a deterrent is a root cause of a lot of problems in our criminal justice system, such as very long punishments, poor prison conditions, and a lack of rehabilitation programs.
I really have to disagree. Machine translation is utterly terrible, and appears to be optimising for the wrong thing. All the progress seems to be in making it produce output that makes sense, rather than producing output that conveys the same meaning as the source document. Almost every time I've tried to use machine translation for something serious, the meaning of the text has been garbled or reversed. This is not "adequate" unless your only goal is to produce something that looks like it could be correct, without regard for whether it is.
Not OP in question. I threw a 20k student campus of json class registration data ... Hundreds of Megs at CyberChef to pretty print and it choked.

And the victim Curtis Green said that maybe Carl Mark Force made up the evidence against Ross. Plus Force actually endangered Green’s life by doxing him as an informant to drug dealers.

Not to mention the Baltimore Task Force threatened to punish Green for stealing bitcoin from some admin access when it was in fact the corrupt federal agents who did it.
10 years ago? It's 2020, wind/solar have dropped by significant percentages every year since then.

Wind/solar are cheaper (LCOE) than everything except natural gas, which it is on parity with right now, and shortly will pass even for installed generation (meaning it will be worth it for electric companies to invest in replacing the natural gas generators)
The banks that originated his loans stood to make a percent profit when they resold them as securities on a secondary market. The bank probably did Less diligence on him than on your mortgage because they’re not regulated on such loans.

There's a large amount of software built on free time by much larger teams than are staffing new startups that are nearly exclusively remote. For example Linux has always been developed remotely from what I can tell.
Buying alcohol from another business is not really something to jail someone over. Especially considering the overhead of putting someone in jail with three hots and a cot. UNLESS they got this person doing some kind of slave labor, then there's a small chance the math will work out.

This is all pretty dark though and violates my own personal values. Not sure why there are so many in the comments here defending this hotel.

Buying upstart competitors ensures that founders and VC are motivated to provide a steady stream of upstart competitors.

Ultimate vertical integration has been tried as a fad on and off. But it did not endure.

None of the FAANGs are all that vertically integrated. Apple doesn't even make their own hardware in-house, do they? (Foxconn makes most of the phones, don't they?)

If the monopolists are reaping excess profits (or having high costs) there's an incentive for new market entrants to come and take a share of those profits.

If the monopolists keep prices low enough that this doesn't happen, then consumers don't have too much to complain about, do they?
A lot of hate from people too stubborn to recognize the value in various forms of input / output, but I think this is a great idea. Will be trying it for one of my next projects.
Depends what you optimise for. Neural translation fairly consistently produces incorrect results that read like they could be correct, for me. If your goal is "text that makes sense" they seem to be doing great. If your goal is "text that conveys the same meaning as the source" they're universally rubbish, at least for the language pairs I need (mostly english <-> east Asian languages).
As far as I can tell, and I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, it seems like there are a lot of positions in AWS’s consultancy arm that were always hiring in “virtual locations”. My position was advertised as one.

Your comment is refreshing.

I made the mistake of choosing iOS and SwiftUI for the first platform of a niche app, a few months ago. Trying to do things in the way Apple wants seems a good strategy in general, but the experience was bad in countless ways. The developing&publishing approval barrels don't help. I succeeded, but only by throwing vastly more experience and energy at it than should've been necessary.

One of the engineering culture surprises was realizing that a lot of iOS developer chatter seemed to be repeating PR talking points, rather than the frank critiques that I'd expect in analogous situations in many other software development communities.

Besides a theory of fandom or Stockholm Syndrome, or dreaming of a job at Apple, or fearing being deplatformed... maybe there's an incentive for someone with hard-earned knowledge in something marketable to play along and be reassuring about their own expertise in it?

Actually, just because a crime is not a valid defence in my country. One must prove it satisfy the public welfare and truth.

Suppose you know a person who committed a crime and be punished years ago and there is no immediate threat of doing it again, revealing that fact is a defamation, unless a person is a public figure like the politician and revealing the fact is important for public welfare.
That's part of it. Now consider the CPU probably has multiple cores, so the "loop" as you have it, isn't a single thread. It's quite fuzzy.

Add in the many tricks CPUs employ, like branch prediction, re-ordering, et al. Things don't happen in sequential order anymore, and multiple chunks of that code are being operated on at the same time.

Even Assembler is pretty much a high level language nowadays, because once its loaded in memory, lots of unseen permutations will happen to it at execution time. It's a language of macros after all.
Am I incorrect in assuming that you don’t have to be “talented” to be hired at Google just masochistic enough to “grind leetCode”?
> Note there is a difference between saying one thinks TikTok is a national security threat to the USA, and saying one thinks the U.S. government should ban it (or so on).

In this case, I'm not convinced there is - the nature of the alleged national security threat is very different from security threats in the past.

From recent actions in Hong Kong, it has been evident that the CCP will arrest and imprison people for criticising the CCP. If the suspicion is that the app gives the CCP access to vast amounts of information (including people's political views via their posts) on individual members of the public, including on the Chinese diaspora (placing relatives at risk in China or they themselves if they visit them) that is a different category of "national security threat". It's not just that it makes political or military strategy harder, or even that it foments domestic dissent (foreign propaganda of the past). The allegation is it directly puts civilians in jeopardy.

If the conclusion is that the app is such a threat (puts civilians in jeopardy to a foreign government), it would be odd to support its presence in app stores, used in playgrounds, etc.

I saw that one and immediately dismissed it because it's ugly, huge, not mechanical, and has a weird navigation key cluster.

I tried the Sculpt keyboard with separate numpad and didn't like it.
It’s interesting that someone thinks that posting to the public internet should allow them to block some users.

Either make a private site or make a public site. But it’s not cool to want a public site except blocking certain users or clients or tools from accessing.

It’s also odd because it’s not like he would even need to participate if someone is discussing his public statements. Why would he care if people comment how annoying his tweet threads are?

Also, he should be blogging as twitter is annoying to read these types of posts.

> Studies have shown that paternity leave can set the tone for fathers’ long-term relationships with their children and families. Children whose fathers took at least two weeks of paternity leave reported feeling closer to their dads even nine years later, according to a joint study of sociology professors at Ball State University and Ohio State University, which also found that paternity leave is linked to lower divorce rates.

Causation/correlation.

Coming from a country where the father can take 30 days. Honestly for the vast majority of births the father is unnecessary to be there after two weeks. The child spends the first month basically eating and sleeping. The father needs to be there to help the mother while she recovers and two weeks is enough.

Of the fathers I know who took the full 30 days, they did so for home improvement projects not because they were actually needed that much.

Love the foone. Only on Twitter though. Let persons control their means and avenues of self-expression.
Thanks for the kind response. I would say that variance in taste or popularity does not imply beauty at all. Something can be popular but not beautiful. Just because something is popular does not make it beautiful. People liking lots of different things does not imply that all these things are beautiful or that beauty is subjective, relative or meaningless.
Admittedly I am usually translating English and east Asian languages, like this example, but I've basically given up on Google Translate (and other machine translation) at this point. It's worse than useless, because it often produces a translation that reads like it could be correct, but has the meaning reversed or otherwise garbled.
Sorry you had a bad time, don’t let unwelcome comments bring you down
I think one thing he does a great job of is balancing concerns around monetary success and general life goals.

I think people with advice tend to really emphasize one and demphasize or even demean the other. Like if I hear someone advocating for meditation it seems to frequently come along with some kind of money is evil message (certainly not always)

Naval speaks about money sometimes and he tends to speak about it as a neutral tool. He also speaks about a wide range of other things and doesnt seem to need to wrap every other point into something financial.

This is something I do t feel like I hear a lot of and he again just seems to have exceptional clarity on these types of issues.
I doubt having the world’s largest bureaucracy create a plan to source and ship Vitamin D to every American would cost “not much”. On the contrary, each American would most likely be taking the most expensive Vitamin D ever sourced.

Yes, theoretically, without fraud, waste, and abuse, it would be cost efficient. But that isn’t even remotely a possibility.
That's an even worse job than Google Translate did.
The problem for you is not climate change, it's anxiety. Focus your energy on learning how to manage your anxiety, not how to avoid thinking about specific topics.

A book I strongly recommend: Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry. A very practical and useful book that changed my life.

If you're more spiritually inclined, I also highly recommend Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth.

I'm in America, and I can access plenty of racist, sexist, government propaganda, anti government propaganda, anti religion, pro religion, anti police, pro police, violence, pornography, and so much more with the click of a button. If I wanted to, I can also upload any of these thoughts myself to someone else's computer (or use my own computer) and then post links to it to any number of online forums or chat groups where people would have access to them just by clicking on a link.
Like I said, our bodies do produce sunscreen, it’s called melanin, and it’s more effective at converting UV radiation to heat than anything humans came up with.
Fwiw, NP includes P, so it's not true that problems in NP are hard to solve, easy to verify. You want to limit the statement to NP-complete problems. Even then, it's only true that solving the problems in full generality is (conjectured) hard. Individual instances can be easy, and in some applications, it may be the case that all/most problems that occur in practice are easy. Even SAT can be easy in practice, and modern SAT solvers solve instances with millions of variables every day.
You seem to take for granted that allowing people to buy and sell drugs anonymously at a distance is necessarily worse than gangs, cartels, and street violence related to drug selling in the real world. Reconsider.
Hmm, different connotations for different people, I guess. The phrasing to me sounds like a junior dev asking a senior dev why something was implemented the way it was, for the sake of learning. Thank you for letting me know how the phrasing could be interpreted, and I'll try to keep that in mind when asking similar questions in the future.

Agree. I learn so much about programming by reading how he dissects old game programming techniques on relatively limited hardware. His piece on the Doom flames is incommensurate.
How have you written backend code in Swift, were you able to use it in places you would normally use e.g. C++?

I'm asking because I like Obj-C/Swift, and am wondering if it's possible through some clang/LLVM magic to be able to code Obj-C/Swift in environments that expect C or C++, for example like in Qt. Like, could I have a traditionally C++ app (Qt app) but have most of my code be in another LLVM-compatible language.

It really, really seems like a long time coming, and now a lot of guys/gals who made some bad choices in their life, for the first time have a clear path to building a better life for themselves.

In the coming years, as California's forestry management changes to include more aggressive management and controlled burns, these guys will be the backbone of keeping thousands and thousands of people as well as their homes safe.
A qualitative description is not mathematics.

Consider an EM field. Do you think there is some daemon grinding out complex exponentials as it propagates? In reality some spinny thing is rotating and moving through space. What those terms actually are isn't precisely known but the phenomenon closely fits a mathematical model we can elaborate on to do useful things. That doesn't mean it's how reality works.
Isn't a big benefit of bash that the dependencies are already satisfied? How will you package this binary?
I don't think the problem is that if/when it happens, it will be "undetectable". The issue is that if we have a polarized party-over-country political environment (which we do currently have), there is absolutely no guarantee a) that there will be a consensus about that the problem is real, that it matters, and that it should be addressed, b) that the party in power doesn't stand to benefit from interference and therefore takes no action, and c) we will have eyes looking at this seriously before it is "too late".

Protecting free speech of geopolitical competitors (China) and their economic agents (TikTok) is legitimate avenue for democratic destabilization.
Do not forget that batteries are expensive and that somebody has to actually pay the negative prices. If prices were to go negative too much, the production would become unprofitable, it would then be cheaper to just give it up.
The total amount of nuclear waste from civilian power generation in the US occupies a volume the footprint of a football field and less than 10 meters high [1]. Not yearly waste, total waste dating back all the way to the 1960s. What you do is you bury it in bedrock where there's no groundwater. The only real risk of nuclear waste is groundwater contamination.

I think we need a machine translation library with multiple backends (Apertium, local ML based MT tools, the online ML based MT APIs) and then have toolkits, desktops, email clients, browsers and other things that encounter untranslated text use that library to convert that text into the user's language.
please read carefully: surface storage, i.e. the dry storage casks outside of the reactor. A reactor contains less nuclear material than the dry storage casks which contain decennia worth of nuclear waste.
