I wonder if it's related to the nature of the societal safety net.

Here's a somewhat strained comparison: a few years ago I listened to a podcast featuring Juan Pablo Villarino [1], who's hitchhiked through nearly 100 countries. If I remember correctly, his observation was that the hardest place to hitchhike was northern Europe, and that by comparison poor and even war-torn places were quite easy. The suggested explanation was that in northern Europe, the expectation is that if you are hitchhiking and relying on strangers, then you've done something weird to fall outside of the normal run of things, and you must be a weirdo. By contrast, in more chaotic places it's more plausible that you have just fallen through some cracks that anyone could fall through, and it's perfectly reasonable to need a lift (or a meal, or some other helping hand).

I developed HPPD at 19 from a combination of a bad 2C-E trip, a bad reaction to an SSRI and cannabis. I stopped all drugs (including the SSRI) and confessed to my psychiatrist, who prescribed me clonazepam. Clonazepam reduced the intensity of the visuals, and after the summer ended I was mostly able to tune out the visual static and focus on my schoolwork. I stopped needing the clonazepam, finished learning to tune out the noise and got on with my life. I also had DP/DR, but that got better with focusing on work and community to rebuild my shattered ego and life.

It was unpleasant but I ultimately came out better than I went in. Maybe it doesn't work for you, but rebuilding worked for me and made me stronger.
eBPF is already it, apparently people keep forgeting that WASM isn't the first nor is going to be the last polyglot bytecode format.
I pay some of the highest fuel prices in the world but it’s still cheap per km when the car/service/insurance/taxes/etc is so much more expensive. If prices were twice as high it wouldn’t change the equation much.
> Sometimes but not always. Most ragas are the same ascending and descending. They are more like the western modes system.

I in this list, http://soundofindia.com/raagas.asp I see half or more than half have different Arohana (ascending scale of notes) and Avarohana (descending)
Technical hurdles aside, this vision really sucks! Old lady shells out a small fortune to surround herself with robotic spyware to facilitate the utopia of... living completely alone in one's elder years? The real problem is that she lives in an alienated society which has left her without the presence of kids, boarders, neighbors, church friends, etc. in her home.

What's the name of that story where everyone lives in their own automated room and the central computer won't let them above ground? Solving for that world is a crime against society, not technological progress.
What I had in mind was for example popularizing one's research as a scientist, or spreading your thoughts about your industry. In these cases it can be much more important to reach some people in your small niche, as opposed to a mass of a generic audience. Applying the same growth hacks as generic Youtubers may not be fitting in one's specific use case. Perhaps you could clickbaitify your content, and increase the raw numbers (makes sense in case of an ad-driven Youtuber) but if you're hoping for high quality feedback or getting to know other interesting people, you may better spend your time on catering to your special audience even when it's small. And instead of promoting it left and right, target it specifically through niche channels, like email contacts, etc.

This may seem obvious, but sometimes people can get caught up in cargo-culting the established trendy marketing strategies that are actually designed for another use case than yours.
The rationale was there were no developers available with skills to work on a complex Common Lisp application.
> Is there no way to route kube containers to a display device?

There's no problem with running a virtual frame buffer in a container and using either something like VNC or X remoting to access its display output. However, accessing it via a web browser, i.e. HTTP, gives you built-in mechanisms for routing incoming requests to a container based on the url, so it might be a bit more convenient to set up.
"That said, spatial computing will be a trillion dollar platform business once someone pulls it off."

"Better" is relative. Laravel is built on top of Symfony components FWIW.
The issue with that paper is that it takes into account the rate of return of everything, not just capital. From the studies I've read, the decline in capital returns has been compensated for by increase in rents, capital gains, and increase in housing value. It also takes into account all countries, instead of just the US. So in the end it's not really relevant to the rate of return on capital, because they don't even make an attempt to evaluate it - the closest they get is equity, but then they count capital gains and have incomplete dividend data.

It's not immediately clear that increases in productivity growth or increases in innovation would necessarily lead to increase in returns - because if everyone innovates, you won't be able to transform those into increased profit easily.

There's only a few dozen studies on the return of capital, instead of general returns, and they tend to be made by heterodox economists, but they are correct and peer-reviewed, such as this one : https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/04866134114238...

Following JC, as of one year ago, he didn't know much about AI, NNs and DL. Last week, he achieved familiarity. I believe him.
I find this argument sophomoric and that it misses the point. You are combining the infrastructure with the thing itself.

Maybe emails are sent using a physical infrastructure. How many atoms would it take to send the same number of physical mails (letters on paper)? Remember to account for the atoms in the transport infrastructure, as you are doing for emails.

Theil's comparison is between progress in moving information around versus progress in our ability to create physical structures - to move mass around.

More importantly, though, the advent of email has not shown up in productivity statstics. Office worker productivty growth did not change observably after email became ubiquitous.

Thiel perhaps believes that a x10 improvement in speed of creating physical structures would show up in productivity figures. I'm doubtful, because I think the stagnation has happened for reasons other than stagnation in our ability to move mass.
> Software being proprietary is independent of whether it's specific to an OS.

I've never really associated "Proprietary" with Open versus Closed source.

> Maybe. If the standards get completely opened, no proprietary components or drivers, it remains to be seen which one would be best.

It's been a while since I've used desktop Linux regularly so it's hard for me to say. Apple more or less designed this processor for running iOS & MacOS though so its going to have an edge regardless of quality of Linux drivers.
I remember reading recently about the man who invented this process - apparently he was sitting on an outside toilet during a barrage, and he felt the low frequency bursts through his ... exposed area, and realised it was possible to detect those sounds with some less biological sensitive equipment.

Wish I could recall the source ... definitely a citation needed event
Permissions for repos (which is not a necessity but has many many uses) immediately kicks you from Teams into "$Contact Us" Enterprise territory, too.
Yep. Rather than being mutually exclusive, the two ideals are in fact highly complementary. That’s why a collaboration between Fairphone and Purism would be an exceedingly beautiful thing, as they’ve made compromises on opposite ends.
The problem is forcing everyone to program in asynchronous way.

WinRT tried to go down that route (only asynchronous APIs), to drive developers into that path, but eventually they had to support synchronous as well due to the received resistence.
I wonder how much better Intel's i9 laptop chips would perform if they were on 5nm like the M1.

Would they be competitive? Or are apple so much further ahead on other things too?
The [-2,2] scale made immediate sense to me because it's zero-indexed:

-2 = WTF

-1 = Needs Improvement

0 = Good enough

1 = Better than Good Enough

2 = Almost Perfect

It's even intuitive, since anything above zero is 'above and beyond' and anything below zero isn't good enough yet.
It's been 31 years and web browsers are still utter trash. The developers at Safari, Firefox, Chrome and every other browser should be ashamed for allowing Pop-up and pop-under windows to even exist. It's functionality which needs to go away. If I don't explicitly open a link in a new window, that link should never, ever, EVER open in a new window.

Why is this still acceptable behavior? It has zero benefit to any end user.
Is there any up to date excess mortality data for the US? The Covid deniers will claim that these deaths are just other normal deaths that are relabelled to Covid.
I think you may have too high expectations of how much TPUs Google really needs, and how much of those Google is using for training Adsense models.

There are such an insane number of processors being made, we have Apple, Amazon, AMD, Nvidia, Google all buying their stuff from TSMC. I would be very surprised if Google was the biggest of them all.
With no real known negative side effects, magic mushrooms are seemingly illegal for nothing other than being fun.
Software does age. Security ages, network protocols age, human related configs age (timezones, for example).

And that's besides tribal knowledge that goes away as people leave or retire.
Your statement about Erlang in telecom is mostly a myth. There was one somewhat successful niche piece of equipment from Ericsson and even that was ~20 years ago. Erlang is basically unheard in the telecom field.
They have one but it sucks. It’s always disconnecting. I have mine hardwired and 90% of the time the doorbell doesn’t ring and neither does the chime. Honestly I think rings are garbage. I’ll probably move to a nest or maybe just go back to a standard doorbell.
no offense, but from this list the author is either 1) stuck in a particular domain or language or 2) not very proactive in broader learning or side projects.

I agree it’s ok to not program C or understand network/transport layer in depth. but things like unix shell basics, python, micro services, docker - these are all fundamentals I assume everyone (backend, frontend, mobile, or game engine) has working understanding of in order to be a proficient developer today.

nice that the author recognizes the areas they lack, and should commit to learning in 2021. happy to give good recommendations on books or online classes.

more curious to see this list authored from someone with more diverse experience.
So if us-east-1 goes down, does Martha become a prisoner in her own home? Worse, will she be bludgeoned by a piece of malfunctioning smart home furniture?

We didn't think through the implications of benign failure cases the first time we tried IoT, let alone determined malicious attackers, and things went to shit. I'm not convinced that we'll do any better once "spatial computing" goes commercial.
I suppose this will help for the big corporate users of linux. And I suppose that's where most of the programming gets done for linux. But the rate of change and feature adoption by the big commercial pushers of linux has made linux as a desktop more troublesome due to the constant futureshock.

I wish people would stop trying to work around the GPL. It causes immense heartache and someday, the kernel developers will revolt and destroy any avenue that you try to use. After all, that's what just happened with the NVIDIA GPU drivers with Linux 5.9.

Also, you're still pulling in parts of Linux into your code, so GPLv2 still applies.
Or use Rust as it fits this particular use case where you need a language that’s low-level and safe.
The sound track for the original Johns Hopkins trial is supposed to be really good. I met someone tangentially related to the project.

"Chet", if you are reading this, I hope you are well.
Some are other will be other won't.

One problem with io_uring is that it's completion based I/O where you move ownership of an buffer to the kernel which then writes to it until the operation completes.

This means you might not be able to (sync) cancel an operation occurring in the background.

This makes it harder to integrate into some I/O libraries, as the previous fact conflicts with RAII patterns.

Another think making adaption harder is that the interfaces for reading/writing with io_uring are conceptually slightly different.

Because of this e.g. Tokio currently hasn't switched yet to use io_uring but still uses readiness based async I/O as far as I know. (Which doesn't mean it won't support it in the future.)

This issue might be relevant (mio is internally used by tokio for async I/O): https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio/issues/923
Reddit r/CombatFootage sub has quite a few videos (including audio) of modern day artillery barrages. Usually it’s a single (or single-digit) shells fired at a time, but you really get an idea of what it is like to hear/feel the explosions first-hand.
I guess that the last two numbers are the mod 97 checksum, so it should then be 123.456.789-39.
Looks like it's on the roadmap: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2411
Needing new data structures? What would that even look like to create a generic data structure which was specifically useful to spatial computing? Why not use existing data structures and algorithms as has been done already?
For 4. I haven’t seen any evidence that Virgil Texas is open about his real identity. Certainly seems harder to assess than Scott Alexander, at this point. What am I missing?

I used to be part of the newsletter until it started feeling like I was a guinea pig for his conversion optimization experiments. Stuff like weird email titles, and "I'm opening up my course for just a feeeeew more people, get in now!"

That being said, he has a set of videos and a webinar about interviewing for jobs which really did help me communicate my experiences in a way that tied in to what the job role is looking for; that's not an easy task, especially if the job is in a different industry. It certainly wasn't the only resource I used, the Interview Guys blog and book are good too.
> There is actually a huge body of fixed compositions, for both melodic and rhythmic instruments, especially in Carnatic and Dhrupad traditions. Of course improvisation still plays a more important role vs. western classical music, but it is driven by a set of standard canonical themes.

That hasn't been my observation at all. 100% of the stuff I find on Spotify is improvised and interpretative.

Could you point to some specifics? Not only is that interesting, perhaps it can also provide insight into the underpinnings of the "identity" of a raga. I think there is definitely a commonality between different people rendering the raga but I haven't come across a "cookie-cutter" of the sorts.

Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the correction. I did just read the about page and a bit of the glossary.
It's not the volume that makes them distinctive; you can have just as high SPL from small arms fire.

My closest experience was a staged tank platoon attack, firing blanks at us. Bone-shaking is a good description, even far away from the muzzle blast - while the sound pressure was tolerable.
From the abstract of the paper it sounds like the connection with blood groups was known already [0] and that they actually discovered the link to Neanderthals [1] which makes it understandable that they want to talk about Neanderthals.

If someone prefers their papers as PDFs, there is also one available on the website (I for one hate the mess that these "web papers" are): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2818-3.pdf

[0] "A recent genetic association study identified a gene cluster on chromosome 3 as a risk locus for respiratory failure after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A separate study (COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative)2 comprising 3,199 hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and control individuals showed that this cluster is the major genetic risk factor for severe symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization."

[1] "Here we show that the risk is conferred by a genomic segment of around 50 kilobases in size that is inherited from Neanderthals and is carried by around 50% of people in south Asia and around 16% of people in Europe."
If you can predict 3 seconds in advance if you’re going to need to trade or not, you’d make millions very quickly. In trading terms, that’s basically having a time machine.

Lots of people in public positions have to buy in to those theories ala 1984, especially teachers.

You should definitely try and get in contact with that teacher! Go to the school and ask around, try to cross reference the years you studied with the teachers around, they must keep records surely

> Living in Germany it is quite ridiculous that we don’t have speed limits on certain parts of the Autobahn, nobody needs to drive 200 km/h.

Why? Did you ever have to drive 1000 km for work in one day?
I enjoy there being an incentive for working hard and spending time and energy/focus on better access to time off, better childcare, etc
I will take a look at it anyway. Using C++ to implement a DAW is a very good idea IMHO. Audacity is a mastering tool, not a DAW. I'm actually a musician myself but don't use Linux yet for music productions, but for everything else.
How about trucks, buses, semis, delivery trucks and all other machinery?
I meant "crap" as in "cheap", sorry.

Sure a Dacia Sandero (two door) works and is nice but so is a 8 y.o. BMW or Volvo in the wagon class for about the same price.

What I don't understand is why by a cheap new car, when you can buy a cheap old car of higher class for the same price, or a cheap old car of the smaller classes for way less.
The underlying principle of submitting a job to be done and letting the kernel do it (submitting a read() and waiting for it to complete), as opposed to the original model of waiting for the kernel when it's ready to let you do the job (waiting for an fd to become readable so you can call read() on it) is the same as the completion-based model of Windows async I/O (and I think BSD's kqueue too?) as opposed to the readiness-based model of epoll.

The part of where this submission and completion information involves a ring buffer mapped to kernel space is unique to Linux, I believe.
The cost of environment not making it possible for you to make a mistake is always there, somewhere.

I think best hypothetical development environment would allow you to specify the tradeoff and choose whether you want strong typing, fully managed memory or ownership semantics.
I couldn't agree more, I find this video extremely reductionist. Text shaping, full unicode support, accessibility, gpu acceleration, true color, tabs and profiles, etc are all advanced features that the windows terminal supports. Just a quick glance at the source makes it obvious that it isn't something so simple that it could be hacked together in a weekend like Blow claims, it seems very rude and misguided to dimiss the hard work that people put into terminal emulators.
Of course it can all be faked. That's not the argument. The argument is that faking a screenshot is not any easier or harder then faking a video.
Yeah, I'm not arguing abortion is bad. I'm saying that we should deeply consider the morality of choosing to do it in such cases, because people with Down Syndrome or autism or other such differences can totally lead reasonably healthy and happy lives.

Nowhere did I claim that it is reasonable to "judge a potential parent who decided to terminate a pregnancy because they were told it is unlikely their child will be born alive" (in fact, I'm Polish and am horrified at the new law recently passed in the country in which I was born, which specifically intends to do away with this specific act).

I think it's fine if you can't support another kid because you can't support another kid. I think it's fine if your kid won't live because your kid won't live.

But people with Down Syndrome and autism do live. And I think we should strongly consider the morality of the situation before going down that road. If someone is already struggling enough as it is keeping their lives together and finds out that this is the case, I would at least say it's more defensible than otherwise, because it is indeed harder to provide for some kids. But all kids are hard to provide for in their own way, and perhaps that person shouldn't be having kids anyway if that's the case. After all, we can't ever test for everything; it's entirely possible still to have a kid with something that can't be tested.

And people do discourage pregnant mothers from drinking, because that's an easy step to take to ensure higher chances of a happy and healthy baby. It's a false equivalence to compare that to terminating a potential life.

I won't judge people for their decisions. They have their reasons for doing what they'll do. And I'm absolutely unabashedly pro-choice. And of course I would have a hard time dealing with hearing that my kid will end up having Downs or whatever. But I think there is an aspect of morality to consider here, and the plain-and-simple "we should decrease the number of people born with Down Syndrome", presented without exception (as you put it, "absolutely"), does not fit my view. It's too close to eugenics for my taste.
Long ago, I did "big bass" speakers systems in cars as a hobby / sideline. People would install huge stereos and then wonder, a few months later, why everything was now loose and rattling in the car, even when they weren't using the sound system.

I personally launched the back window out of a station wagon with Beethoven once. I'm still proud of that one.

I've never been around artillery, but have used small slow explosives for stumps; and that solid shock thump is in the neighborhood of what big drums give but it's like saying a puddle is in the neighborhood of the ocean. Its sound you feel.
One interesting approach I heard about for doing garbage collection in finance is to get computers with a shitload of RAM and just turn off GC. At the end of the trading day you can reclaim memory by killing the process. Not sure how common that strategy is.
