A better analogy would be Taleb's "green lumber" story.[0] The narratives we assign to things don't necessarily correspond to what really moved the needle forward. The ability to get things done might sometimes be influenced by historical reading, but it is mostly a factor of reading the present, creating new knowledge, and spending most of your energy on the problems at hand as they actually stand. A person like Zuck might draw parallels from their reading of the classics (to name one notorious example) but in practice their success will be contingent on making decisions in real time with few helpful analogies, or general principles for which historical reading is not strictly necessary. The journalists then comparing Zuck to Augustus are then probably misattributing the causal relationship.

There will be a historical post-facto rationalization of what went down for anything happening in the recent past, but the meat we draw from historical analogies is often poorly applicable since the divergence between the map and the territory is so large. The difference between reality and a game of chess is indeed paramount here, but for different reasons. The past is so complex that the lessons we draw from it are likely to just be distorted narratives that are already just a reflection of the present.

>To be honest I'm not even sure I can think of a way you can completely ignore history and still be able to do useful work of any kind.

In Levandowski's own example, he learned what existed in his time and then built useful things from there without worrying too much about the details of past beyond the directly visible iceberg spire in the present. This is broadly applicable to many fields and there are many people who did the same. It's tautologically true that disciplines that need to draw on the past to move on will do so, such as biology, but that doesn't say all that much about engineering for instance.

I think it just means they don't have an instinct for how to react to ranged threats. Cows likely don't either, but their instincts are different and just so happen to work slightly better against guns.
They are paying for the brand, not the product. Microsoft is ensuring that they have mindshare in the next generation of gamers. That's critically important to maintaining their ongoing success in the gaming sector.

Similar to why Disney paid billions for Star Wars: the company was easily capable of replicating the product; the issue was replicating the brand. That brand has a proven track record of multi-generational appeal.

> It has nothing to do with the Left

Well, nothing to do with the left may be a bit of an overstatement, imho.

If the "Left" is such a problematic term, then let's just agree to avoid using the term, since you seem to be of the position that the "more centrist faction of the Democratic Party" is not Left.

I would assume the term "Left" includes both the "more centrist faction of the Democratic Party" and the more left-leaning social-democratic ideologies.

The left is a big tent composed of many factions.

I've used both. Godot is so, so much more natural and flexible.
Exactly – I think this is what my concern is as well.

I think the best analogy for this is when AOC played Among Us and was the impostor. Was she going to turn her political mind to 100% and win the game, and in front of the world show "how it's done by a pro"? I don't think so. Similarly, I think a manager or someone jockeying for a position would be reluctant to play to win, especially as impostor.

That was a good thing. Sprint was toast either way. We were going to go from 4 to 3 major carriers.

In some sense a couple of them were, though not necessarily by their originators. The original FORTRAN compiler is long gone, but there were commercial FORTRAN compilers sold for numerous computers before the rise of free software. Likewise BLAS and its ilk have been recompiled into the numerical packages are provided in support of hardware sales, such as the Intel Math Kernel Library.
So essentially Apple is exploiting its consumers and get free research and development without having to pay salaries and tax? Probably that's why they are worth so much. I am only amazed that there is so many people willing to do this job for Apple for free - it would be a different ball game is macOS was open source, but sacrificing your own time and resources to enhance a commercial product... people are weird.
> I don’t think there is much they can do, except shut down companies like coinbase.

This is exactly what they would do. They would make it illegal to operate an exchange and go after foreign exchanges with threats against the banks that serviced them. At some you need to get your money into the banking system as government backed currency for it to be generally useful, and they could at least force that to be a multi-step, onerous, and less anonymous process (eg get crypto --> buy physical goods with crypto from the few people that accept cryto for payment --> sell physical goods to get actual money).

Yes, dataflow with dynamic topologies (self-adjusting computation) forms a monad. If the "flowchart" is merely static, that forms an applicative. https://blog.janestreet.com/breaking-down-frp/ In my opinion, understanding the monad is essential to understanding how to fully separate an AST from its evaluation behavior. That is basically what a monad is, the monad is the computational structure that does that.
I did say "track record on Linux OS platforms," but I will grant you that Solaris has contracted under Oracle.

From wikipedia:

> The emergence period of large prime numbers (13 and 17 years) was hypothesized to be a predator avoidance strategy adopted to eliminate the possibility of potential predators receiving periodic population boosts by synchronizing their own generations to divisors of the cicada emergence period. Another viewpoint holds that the prime-numbered developmental times represent an adaptation to prevent hybridization between broods with different cycles during a period of heavy selection pressure brought on by isolated and lowered populations during Pleistocene glacial stadia, and that predator satiation is a short-term maintenance strategy.

Wow.
That's true in theory but often wrong in practice.

You could conceivably make products with such as thing as "premium plastic" (some companies/products do), but the overwhelming experience people have with plastic is that it's often cheap injection molding, breaks easily, doesn't look good, etc.

You could also build crap with metal, so of course there's nothing inherent to those materials.

But the perception isn't entirely wrong.

>but this is not possible with protocols which obfuscate wallet addresses, their contents & transactions with cool cryptographic tricks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_signature

Fancy cryptographic techniques won't do much good here. You can already do much of the same thing with cash, which is also untraceable. What the government ended up doing is essentially saying that any cash transaction over a certain amount is considered suspect until proven otherwise. For instance, a bank isn't going to allow you to deposit $50k in hundred dollar bills.

Why should the venue owner pay the musician?

It's not an iron-clad given that the musician provides value to a venue.

Musicians who are confident they can bring business to a venue negotiate with confidence and get paid.

Those who play for free are ones who don't have that confidence.

What you accept is what you cost. That's the market rate.

How about this argument. Say I have a restaurant. Typically that means there is some landlord, and I pay them utilities and rent in exchange for using the space. Now some guitar-strumming, crooning ape wants to perform in the same space. If he and I are to be considered part of the same organization, we are on the same level of the "org chart". We are sharing the space and doing our thing. Why would I pay him anything? He should pay part of the rent and utilities. Or, why not the other way around?

Let's reverse it. Suppose a musician has a venue where he performs every night, and people come. Paying people. Suppose I want sell hot-dogs and sandwiches there, and he lets me do that. Why the fuck should he also pay me anything? He would be right to ask me to pay some sort of rent.

Now if I give the hot dogs and sandwiches for free, so that many more people come, and those people pay to get into this music venue, then there is a case that I'm increasing the business, and doing it out of my pocket. Still, that is my problem; I shouldn't be doing such a thing. Maybe I know what I'm doing! Or maybe I'm trying out new product to see how people like it or whatever (market research).

I've got bad news for you - most of Ubuntu is repackaged Debian which is from a community of volunteers that maintains the packages. Besides that Ubuntu used to be sloppy in backporting important patches and doing some NIH here and there... not sure about Redhat but they source heavily from Fedora which is also community-based.
The camera's I own probably won't be helpful to you deciding on something for yourself. I have been a gear head since I was a teenager and I have used all sorts. For the last decade I have worked elusively with film because I want to enjoy it while it is here to enjoy. I wouldn't recommend that for most because it is expensive and can be frustrating when you don't get good results.

If you want to make the jump to something more capable I recommend skipping all the stuff in the middle like mirrorless, 4/3, or high end point and shoot. Nothing wrong with these if it is what you want. However, I recommend you get a digital SLR. Decide on a budget. If it is small, buy used. Heck if it is big it still doesn't hurt to buy used. Especially lenses and tripods. I have never purchased a new camera, lens, or tripod.

Prioritize your purchase in this order:

- A book about the photo style that interests you.

- Lens or lenses. This is the most important thing. It doesn't matter how awesome your camera is if you are sticking low quality glass on it.

- A good tripod you can tolerate carrying for extended periods of time. The number one thing you can do to take better pictures is to use a tripod. For most, tripods are an afterthought.

- A digital SLR body.

I recommend this order because lenses are very long term investments as are tripods. They can last a lifetime. Bodies churn constantly and you can always get a better one later.

If I were going to buy a DSLR today, most likely I would choose Nikon (but I'm already invested in Nikon glass). I would probably go for a D750 (D700 if money is tight, or a newer variant if I'm feeling flush) and a 50mm f/1.4 AF-D. If I wanted to shoot portraits an 85mm or so would be my next lens. Otherwise I really like the 35mm f/2 AF-D for landscapes and general use. All of this said, I don't think you can go wrong choosing from any of the major manufacturers. Favor full frame over crop sensors.
> Apple introduced a translation cache that likely removes this overhead completely for most applications but it does not work for code that is output by a JIT. With the native build, this second translation is avoided completely and we’re back to having a snappy browser.

Indeed while Rosetta does have support for JITs (which is really impressive in and of itself), every piece of machine code generated by the JIT has to be translated on the fly.

While the hiccup at the initial run is not too costly / annoying for a regular application being AOT-compiled in its entirety and Apple can then shove the result somewhere nearby, for a JIT it's basically constant, continuous overhead which can't be cached because it won't be around next run. I'm not surprised that the gains are significant there.

From what I understand, there's two reasons Bitcoin money is popular in China.
1. Corrupt oligarchs with access to subsidized electricity can setup mining farms and basically print money.
2. Corrupt oligarchs with their money stuck in China can setup clandestine mining farms, and thereby exchange their yuans -> electricity/equipment -> BTC -> Vancouver/Sydney/London/...etc apartments.

One thing to keep in mind is the context you're observing this in.

Imagine instead, someone makes a post on https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/ about how they connected some glass panels together and shipped them in fedex boxes. Then put them in their living room on top of the boxes they shipped in as an art piece.

The next place that post would end up is DIWHY. The reason anyone thinks its a truly inspired meaningful commentary on modern times is simply that it's being presented as such.

"When saving and opening a JPEG file many times in a row, compression will ruin your image."

Whether it is true or false for some particular implementation, it should be possible with any lossy compression algorithm (not only JPEG) to avoid further loss by repeated compression, as long as the settings (in the case of JPEG, the quantization matrix) are the same each time, if the implementation is written correctly.
