Newton often gets derided for his unfruitful efforts at unlocking alchemy, but there's something admirable there. He was willing to take on bold, grand ideas that were not obviously wrong. I'd even venture to say that in the 17th century, the concept of alchemy sounds much more reasonable than the idea that there is an 'invisible' force of attraction between everything in the universe.

A lot of this derision for Newton's alchemy comes from hindsight knowledge of the hundreds of years of chemistry knowledge we've since accumulated.

And in the end, he wasn't really wrong in principle about whether alchemy is possible. He was just off on the scale of energy required.

Maybe it's badly worded. It could mean that the history is cryptographically resilient against tampering in the future. Ie once your meter submits a reading, it becomes part of the blockchain and cannot be tampered with. Is this really that useful though?
On the contrary. Just because something attracts money doesn't mean it adds value. In fact, the opposite can be true.

In this case, CryptoKitties purchases represent money that was diverted from intrinsically valuable goods and services: cars, fruit, haircuts, shoes, software, and so on.

Every dollar spent on CryptoKitties was a dollar that didn't go to a farmer, a plumber, or a musician. That's not creating economic value; it's destroying it.

It's a pyramid scheme, plain and simple.

This is called the oracle problem, and it's a very real problem and why I'm incredibly skeptical of "supply chain" blockchain applications.
Nice, this is really fun to play with!

I messed around with something similar a few years ago, based on (the code in) this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_zmZ23grXE

WMF Board considering the removal of Jimmy Wales' trustee position
This is an amazing list. I just want to point out that there's an implicit requirement in this list, which is that this is optimized for reviewers who are willing to give you quick feedback.

At a previous job, I worked on a team where we iterated towards the list that OP provides. It worked really well, and it worked because we had a culture of providing rapid reviews. The senior people on our team even thought that reviews were important enough to drop their own work. A lot about the team was suboptimal, but I was spoiled by getting such rapid feedback for my work.

We had some partner teams that really challenged this. One was halfway around the world, so you were guaranteed to only get one review round per day. If you wanted to make progress while working with them, you needed to either send them huge changes or send them a bunch of changes at once. But structural feedback in an early change would cause you to need to rewrite the later changes. We broke this cycle by having them eventually give local reviewers stronger conditional approval in the integration path, which fixed our particular issue but showed that there were cracks in how we optimized our code review flow.

The real trouble came from a local team, which was an overloaded platform team that we were built on. No matter what you did, they would only review your changes about once per week. Their feedback was super insightful, too, and they often caught very subtle misuses of their platform that would cause subtle user-visible bugs. You couldn't just skip their feedback. To try to manage their flow, they wanted teams to review pull requests locally before sending changes to them. So people on my team would write a change for this platform, which we'd review on our team. Our team would apply our rules and break the change up. We'd send the first one out. Then it would take a full month to get the entire thing in, to account for the back-and-forth. If you needed to get something substantial in, it could take months. My manager fought for months for them to acknowledge that this was a problem and fix it, and they did eventually dig out of it by setting SLAs and increasing capacity.

I don't want to take away from this list, but I want to point out that some of it is a function of your reviewer's incentives. If your reviewers have different incentives, then you need to find your own list that works within those bounds.
The point is that - if we were to take seriously the claim that consumer rights are well protected by the governments outside of the US - their help shouldn't even be needed.

My feeling living in Germany is that consumer protection rights goes as far as the "right" for some bureaucrat to keep their job. It's a constant feeling they create the problem so that they can sell the solution and get people to be oh-so-thankful for it.
Please understand- I was talking about the acting, not the accuracy. Yes, when he ties his life raft to a sinking vessel... wat?

As for whether he died at the end or not, it's ambiguous- he's pulled from the water by someone in a boat, and that's it. We don't know if he expires from hypothermia, if he lives, or what- we just know that at the end of a hopeless journey there was hope.

And that's why I said it's an excellent movie.
Bloomberg are full of shit when it comes to tech news. I'm going to wait until products land before I evaluate. This last cycle I am impressed however.
It does but, as used, it means something much milder. You can be a "fan" of a band, say, without following them around from city to city.
Five lines of code, or five rectangles connected by arrows, both are simple.

When people promote visual programming, they make it sound like the five rectangles will replace thousand lines of code. But if that is true, why not simply implement a library with functions equivalent to the individual rectangles, and replace the code with five function calls?

Instead, when doing anything nontrivial, we get pictures with thousand rectangles connected by arrows, for pretty much the same reason we previously had thousand lines of code. It's because we want to implement functionality that is not trivially expressed by the provided primitives, duh.
They may not be "sleazy" but they incentivize reviews/referrals/recommendations based on what the affiliate gets rather based on what product is the best. This pollutes the entired internet, making it significantly harder to find what you want as a consumer. On the whole, affiliate programs are a net negative for society and anyone taking part in them show reconsider their ethics.

That’s not a feature of x86 itself. That’s just how the computers themselves are assembled. X86 machines could be just as locked down as Apple machines, if the vendor wanted them to be (and Microsoft tried!). ARM builds for multiple OSs exist, including multiple Linux distributions and Windows.

"Because technology alone won't solve the problem."

Technology is more likely to solve the problem than reducing emissions by a certain percentage, which is guaranteed to be insufficient. Transatlantic flights are certainly a hard problem, but why should it be impossible? Either using hydrogen, synthetic fuels and/or by offsetting emissions with carbon capturing.
I basically agree with this. My suggestion to OP would be to take this comment to heart. If they are looking to develop a personal philosophy, any amount of study of formal philosophy will not get them further than this.
The M1 just uses on-package memory, it’s nothing really special, it only avoids routing through the motherboard (which is convenient): instead if soldering the ram next to the SOC, it’s soldered onto the SOC.
"Falling out of love" still implies the kind of love you also fall into, I think. "Falling in love" has not yet been banalized to some mean some generic positive emotion like the word live itself unfortunately has.

I'm sad about the latter because we apparently lost the word to simply express this profound emotion without context.

Our place currently has limited attractions with several planned for next year. There is a gift shop that drives significant revenue, but was closed this year due to COVID. We offer free hot chocolate (small disposable cup). For the gift shop we have a multifaceted approach which includes buying things wholesale, making items in our shop, and partnering with other makers. Drilling and bailing is included in the price of the tree.

We are currently running the numbers to prepare for things like food/drink truck, sleigh rides, reindeer petting zoo, and some events.

I'd be really interested in how the authors (and researchers in general) measure semantic richness. The paper mentions that semantic richness seems to influence visual working memory (familiar but otherwise random geometric shapes are harder than celebrity faces). However, how do you know when an image is semantically rich for a given subject? Similarly, how did the researchers know when the experimental images were morphed enough to be semantically unrecognizable?
Or the classic Papillion; the film version(s) are pretty good as well (there's a fairly recent 2017 film version starring Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek, but it's a remake of the 70's version, iirc uses the same screenplay). It's about the author spending years in French prison camps in Guyana, iirc early last century.

Google Firing A.I. Ethicist Ignites Diversity Controversy
Anyone surprised? We're seeing occurrences of 'the plague' and TB in skid row. This is what happens when we allow people to living in squalor.

At some point we as a society need to make a statement that living outside, even seemingly by choice, especially in context of mental illness or drug addiction is not something that should be respected or tolerated.

We're at the point where cities (spurred on by activists) have exempted homeless population from all municipal regulations and decided that allowing people with drug addiction and mental illness to live in squalor, and filth is a basic human right that trumps forceful institutionalization. I really don't understand why forced institutionalization into highly regulated institutions, staffed by clinical professionals is so evil.

Worse, a social worker friend of mine in the homeless space, highlighted one issue that I wasn't even aware of. She says she sees young people who are 'homeless' as a lifestyle choice, using (and draining) resources earmarked for the chronic homeless (typically those suffering from mental illness). She is convinced that this group is at least partially responsible for the large part of the waste in this space.

Being in this technology generation, this topic is really relevant.

At best, shaming can seriously undermine a person’s self-esteem. At worst, someone can lose their job, jeopardise their reputation and suffer serious mental health problems such as depression.

For a young person, who may be less resilient than an adult, this could have a profound effect on their mental health and on their social lives. For children, the shaming doesn’t have to go global – it’s enough that they have been targeted by their fellow pupils at school for it to have a negative effect on them.
If you really put your mind to it you could probably learn the japanese kana. It took me a couple months of like half an hour a day a practice to learn them but if you have a pretty good memory and trudge along you could do it. It makes reading Japanese computer manuals much, much easier, but I suppose the real value depends on the person.

Cyrillic and Hangul also come to mind as relatively easy writing systems to learn though I never really learned Cyrillic so it might be harder.

Your suggestion would be the start of a clean-room or fresh rewrite - so option 3 above, but those are often surprisingly long and unrewarding endeavours, particularly in old software like this with lots of users used to its quirks and bugs and who disagree about what the spec should be.

Automated translation is obviously not an end goal in itself and doesn't improve code quality, but it could be the start of a successful rewrite as it does at least let them replicate exactly what the old program does, which is very important for end users.

A good example of this strategy being used successfully is the use of the tool c2go to convert the Go runtime and compiler from C to go. That involved quite a specific tool tailored to the codebase in question, and a lot of manual cleanup afterwards.

This gets into a bigger conversation about business models. For us, we are selling an experience that includes a tree. Artificial trees will not be able to replace that.

You are quibbing over the details. The information the journalist has is "Apple Preps Next Mac Chips With Aim to Outclass Highest-End PCs"; perhaps he was told that by a highly reliable source in the Apple Silicon team.

The rest is just him trying to make a long enough article out of one sentence of information.
Scientists in industrial research labs are often required to keep journals, and sometimes get them signed periodically from others, so that in case of legal issues (usually patents), there is a clear paper trail. This is not a foolproof method, and multiple people can conspire to change the journals at a later date. However, it is a better system than where people don't do this.

Don't think in binary. Think, whether this system provides better validation/certification than where auditors/inspectors come by at the end of the year to check records. Perhaps, it's harder to systematically cheat the system if you have to announce your data to the world daily, then if you wait till the 11th month, and cook your books so everything works out.

I doubt this removes the role of auditors/inspectors, but it might supplement them.
At a more agile org, getting 2-3 stories done in one day isn't too extraordinary. A PR that follows some of the rules from the OP (especially 5/6/7) might only take 5-10 minutes to review completely.

If you can't slow down enough to do that, or your stories are so large they require more attention, that might be a red flag situation? Writing code faster than you can review it will eventually catch up to the team/org.
As a passionate Apple hater their new chips didn't make me go 180 but I'm certainly looking over my shoulder. I'm not going to lock myself into any prison but the idea it could be cosy enough to sign up is entirely new to me.

Not a good proxy for "smart", but when I'm deciding whether or not to pursue future interactions (professional or socially), I turn to the classic turing test. Spend most of the conversation listening, except as needed to keep the conversation going. Imagine you can't see or hear them, but only read their words on paper. How sure are you that they are not a computer program? For me, notes of emotion, hints of future hope or past regrets, recognition that humans are flawed or acknowledging that others may hold a different perspective are strong moves. Silliness, reasoning, compassion, specialized interests score points too.

Next, run this test on yourself. Be more human.
I would say it is much larger. From what I understand, many many websites can be completely functional as static pages with a few forms here and there.
While it had good gross sales numbers, Zappos had a cash flow problem prior to the sale to Amazon. Hsieh acknowledged this a few years ago in an article titled "Why I sold Zappos". (Even that may have been an overly positive spin on the situation at the time; I've seen speculation elsewhere that they may have been on the verge of insolvency.)
Which scenario is better for Intel?

- The server and desktop markets move to ARM. The AArch64 instruction set becomes the default that people develop and deploy on. Optimizing for x86_64 CPUs becomes an afterthought. Intel only sells CPUs to organizations that have legacy systems somewhere that cannot be emulated. Intel has to enter the highly commoditized ARM market to stay competitive.

- The server and desktop markets largely stay on x86_64 as a result of Intel licensing x86_64 to three other vendors, increasing competition. The market is not commoditized, because Intel can decide who they license x86_86 to and also control extension to the instruction set. They lose market share due to the increased competition. But they can compete on their own architecture that they control.

Of course, these are extremes. But given that the current fastest supercomputer uses ARM and Apple showed that ARM is fit for the desktop, I am pretty sure that Intel is (or should be) worried about the first scenario.
