I think the world would be better off if people simply refused the initial "Go here" order from someone who cares nothing for their own life, or the lives of those "there".

War cannot be waged without soldiers, and no one is born a soldier.

This requires the cultural de-glorification of soldering-as-profession. Millions of tax dollars are spent on advertising to ensuring it remains, and many companies are complicit in furthering it (priority boarding, discounts, et c). I shop elsewhere whenever possible.
Red Delicious gets such a bad rap: I swear you can find good ones (in Ontario anyway) that are perfectly sweet and crisp. When they're good, they're probably my second favourite behind the short-season Red Prince. (Which is currently in season in Ontario) The Apple has a weird story behind it too. Discovered in the early 90s in the Netherlands. It's only been in Ontario for a decade or so (?) And has to be cellared for like half the year to get the tartness to a good level.

Also some weird early biz struggles by the company that controls the fruit...

Just look at the evolution of male movie stars. A handsome face and slim figure used to be all that was required (Clark Gable, Paul Newman, Peter O'Toole). Today the men have to be jacked (Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, George Clooney).

You can bet that to be a male star in Hollywood requires a personal trainer and a lot of work.
>cultural fit, values alignment

I thought this mattered, but this mostly leads to more of yourself. When we ignored those factors these didn't seem to matter much for team quality - at least at our company. People find surprising ways to relate to and get along with colleagues. You do get a bigger pond to fish from.

Have they really though? iOS has always shared the same underpinnings as OSX. Although much hyped with Big Sur, iOS features have dribbled into OSX since at least Lion (more than 10 years ago). They’re still distinct operating systems (thankfully IMO) and rather than unify, iPadOS is a distinct entity.

Sure, but that kind of makes sense for why the FDA acts like they do, if you want more risky off-label treatments without the large studies the FDA requires, your doctor (and you) can take the risk at your (and their) option.
I used to play this game so much back in the day. It was the first MMO I ever played.

The slowness issue is interesting, as the codebase it's forked from mentions it runs fairly well:

"Even an old 400 MHz PowerPC G3 iMac running Linux is capable of more than 2 million instructions/sec"

That would be 12x as many MIPS as the original 8086, on a relatively old CPU.
>The original FAWB proposals targeted all semi-automatic rifles with detachable clips

Yet that was not the definition used in the law.

The original FAWB (for rifles) itself defined an assault weapon as a semi-auto rifle with 2 of
- folding or telescoping stock
- pistol grip
- bayonet mount
- flash hider
- grenade launcher.

This was such a ridiculous list, with about zero to do with lethality, that it was trivial to work around. No one was killing people with grenade launchers or bayonets, for example.

Targeting only detachable clips only leads to fast loaders like those used for 6-shooters, i.e., it's not much of a deterrent to quickly reloading weapons.

In practice and history, these bans seem more based on scary looking features than empirical lethality.

> In other words, there is no way for a startup to pay a top 1% developer (but perhaps they can offer some other incentive, and I don’t mean stock options because that’s crap).

Who's to say wage is a good measure of talent?

I would say circumstance can play a bigger role in setting the wage, more so than actual talent.

For example, a developer working for a company over a long period of time will always creep up the wage scale, a developer with lots of keyword hits on the resume for the latest and greatest framework can always demand a higher pay, niche software skills always pay well, a developer who began work with a startup that then gets bought out by a multi-notational probably hits the jackpot etc. etc.
Staying healthy and injury free is obviously important, but that's important at every single level. Also to be clear, a drug free 725 lb squat is very impressive, that's not something most people would be able to achieve even if they managed to stay injury free.
Or, programming is simply easier than painting or boxing, and boring and tedious for most people.

Physical and psychological traits matter when you undertake certain tasks - how many fast twitch muscle fibers you have, how big and string your lu game and heart is, the angle of your jaw in relation to your brainstem, the distribution of your weight on your body, your personal nerve conduction velocity, your natural aggressiveness and your pain tolerance levels for boxing.

Your natural intelligence, hand-eye coordination, tolerance for failure, and curiosity level for learning programming.

Your hand-eye coordination, imagination, and depth of color vision for painting.

The thing is, while everyone starts with more or less of some physical or mental fitness for a particular task, with enough proper training the difference between two trained professionals is very, very small. Yet o e is Mohammed Ali, and one is Leon Spinks. That difference is not in proportion to the difference in their physical or mental capabilities at the start, and is largely explained in studies by coaching and practice technique.

The ability to follow a trainings regime until you reach success is largely a mental tolerance for failure and determination. If you have lots of success, you tend to continue. But if you were to continue despite failure, you would eventually reach the success you were after if the training regime was correct.
Things can just work if your expectations are low and specific requirements are common, and this is true independently of OS. Where Linux shines (in general), is with customization or uncommon requirements, which in this case would AFAIK be things like low latency audio.

Nice! Nothing like video. So it's able to emulate an 8-10 MHz 8086 PC.

That all depends on how well it emulates the various subsystems in the PC and the video/sound/etc extension cards.

As far as reality distortion fields go, I don't think it's that bad, but with these kinds of things I am firmly in the "don't trust; verify twice" camp.
> I think it's possible the pilot or others to feel they're there for reasonable reasons, even if they don't hold any particular ill will towards the guy on the other side.

I agree, it is possible that the man in the article thought that. But I think it more probable that once you choose to work for military as a profession, you are either very misinformed or do not really care about the actual purpose of the bombing.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Needless to say, everyone's experience will be different, but, especially for security work, it is important to think about core factors in implementation: policy and psychology. If you are not associated with "winning", and are a "nagger" vs an "enabler", this diminishes prospects.
When I was 20 and started lifting regularly, I put on a lot of muscle very fast. But I plateaued in about 6 months and was never able to go past that.

I didn't do any steriods, because a friend of mine went from "pillsbury doughboy" (his assessment) to very jacked in about 9 months. He used steroids, and was shocked to find he'd lost a couple inches in height. The doc told him it was the steroids, and even worse, he'd still lose the usual height when he aged (we all shrink as we age).

He was pretty bummed about it, but still became very popular with the ladies and was happy about that.
Is this documented somewhere? Where do I look if I want more information about uops?
Clubs were a place of hedonism and cultural disruption but these days with all the me too and victorian morals the only ones who can still enjoy themselves are gays who get excused for whatever behaviour and maybe some minorities who couldn't care less about anything. Add tinder to the mix and there is no reason for a straight white person to risk their reputation or even freedom in a club.

The other problem is music which used to be part of the counter culture and social movements but now has no cultural meaning and is pure entertainment. People used to define themselves by the type of music they listen to and the relevant cloths and attitude but it seems like in some ways it moved towards gaming, these days the games you play define you more than the music. It is not without reason that two of the most disrupting sub cultures had something to do with gaming, gamergate and gamestop.
The people coming in aren't playing fair: many are not refugees and are transiting safe countries (including EU countries) to apply for asylum in their favorite country. It's understandable that they're desperate, but the EU doesn't have to accept that.

Of course there's a lot of people trying to stop them, because what those migrants are doing is not according to the spirit of the asylum laws and it's threatening to seriously harm the social harmony of the countries receiving them. A significant number of EU citizens do not want migration from outside of the EU, unless the EU benefits (highly-educated specialists, etc) and those people integrate into their host countries. This conflict has been smouldering within Western Europe in particular for many years and I have the feeling that tensions have been rising strongly in the past years.
Internal combustion, or any form of combustion, is only one way to get energy back out of a hydrocarbon.

And a hydrocarbon cycle doesn't necessarily have to be all that efficient to be practical, if the primary energy input is renewable, and the cycle is largely closed (IE, a plant somewhere consumes the same stuff the vehicle produces). The portability, safety, ease of handling, and rapid simple refill of hydrocarbons outweighs a lot of other factors at the point of use for some jobs, mainly vehicles.

Most other energy-consuming jobs can use a wide variety of other forms of energy, so this is mostly about vehicles, not energy usage in general. This is why your furnace doesn't burn gasoline.

Anyway what they're saying is that entire cycle can probably be improved a lot from what we can manage today.

We can surely continue discovering new and better ways to make a fuel cell that consumes a hydrocarbon.

And we are definitely still discovering a variety of different ways to synthesize hydrocarbons. Some have a lot of overhead like planting corn and eventually getting a small quantity of a low-density hydrocarbon (alcohol).

Some are more direct bulk inustrial processes that are fairly cyclic and lower overhead than farming.

We already have a variety of examples of both the consumer and generator parts of the cycle and we are definitely not done discovering all the possibilities.
You can carry an AR-15 for self defense in your truck. The question is do you require the ballistics of an AR-15's .223 round over a 9x19? In many cases yes, if your intent is to neutralise a threat, then the .223 is a vastly superior round to a 9x19. An ar-15 is more accurate than any pistol, so you will have no misses or at least not as many. And you need fewer bullets to achieve your goal.

There is only one major distinction between military weapons and civilian self-defense weapons. For self defense, you have a clear target and you take a few shots. In the military, you provide a base of fire and often don't see what you shoot at. Everything else is commentary.
For something like PDF, I wonder how practical it would be to write a program that just strips out “dangerous” features. Maybe this wouldn’t help with buffer overflows and similar, but it might be useful.

Maybe just roundtripping your pdf through djvu or postscript would be sufficient?

Unwillingness to die is really common in war
I don't know about that.

Before founding PostEra, its founders published research about their model, which significantly outperforms human chemists (if you're interested in ML, it's actually a fascinating use of an architecture commonly used in language tasks): https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/language-based-softwares...

Thorn's flagship tool, Spotlight, uses NLP to analyze huge volumes of advertisements on escort sites and flag profiles that have a higher risk of representing trafficking victims. You would need an enormous spreadsheet and near infinite supply of dedicated humans to manually review and refine some sort of statistical model for scoring ads, as the volume of advertisements produced is insane.

The same for the deep genomics companies. The size of data generated by deep sequencing is beyond a person's ability to pattern match, and the patterns are potentially complex enough that they may never be noticed by human eyes.

And, again, this is just a small list of startups in particularly moonshot-y spaces.
Most of the time, maybe. But it depends on what you are measuring against (even if this is just anecdotic). My guess is that your intuition comes from what you see around yourself or even in the industry in general with accomplished, successful developers: they have worked a lot. But that doesn't mean that they don't have talent, i.e. what GP says, special abilities that they were born with (and/or acquired during early childhood).

The fact that what we see is that hard work is required, is just the result of competition and survivorship bias. Those, who are not talented enough will leave the field, or never even get in. If we are talking about 'top' developers at 'top' companies, then it's essentially the same. They all work hard, but you ignore those who work hard but don't get there.

Indeed it does seem like, as GP says, at least some mental abilities do have both genetic and environmental factors (and those environmental factors mostly count around being born and in childhood). And by the time you are a grown up professional, those are basically both circumstances you can't do anything about. So you can call them talent.

It's enough if you think about intelligence, or to be more specific, IQ. It's demonstrated that it behaves like I described above. It has a hereditary and an environmental component, it stabilizes pretty early (relative to becoming a working professional) and it remains a stable measure during your life relative to your cohort. We also know that higher IQ correlates with better problem solving ability which is an important skill if you want to be successful in the field.

Fun fact, the blog post mentions Laszlo Polgar (a fellow Hungarian), father and trainer of Judit Polgar the strongest female chess player (wrt Elo points) so far. He had the idea that given good enough education any child can become a prodigy (and thus 'talent' doesn't exist). And to prove himself he started experimenting with his own children, his three daughters. All of them would become professional and accomplished chess players (this was the field Polgar chose to prove his theory). But of course one can argue that being a psychologist he himself must have had above average intelligence which his children could have inherited. So a sample size of 3 is not a strong argument besides the original claim, but of course it's a strong demonstration that at least early education matters a lot. (His 3 children has all learned and trained chess from a very early childhood, IIRC from around the age of 3, and were all home schooled.)

Now why did I say fun fact? Because this at the same time underlies what I said above: that early childhood effects count a lot and that later you can't do much about it. Also, if you asked Judit Polgar why Magnus Carlsen is a better player than she was at her best (2882 vs 2735) I doubt she'd say "well, he just worked harder and put in more hours".

There are many, many people in all sorts of professions that work to pay the bills and have interesting hobbies they are devoted to and exceed at. Sometimes this is because they haven't found a way to be paid for their hobby, other times it's because they don't want to.

Sometimes the fact that there is no pressure is one of the things that makes it enjoyable, and people are rightly resistant to change that.
If this did happen (seems weird to me not to link to example bad reviews) then it seems to be conflating the bad behavior of some employees with their company.
You are comparing a hypothetically viable thing to an actual shipping, proven product. Without seeing the hydro network in place, seeing what retail prices are on hydrogen in volume, this is all supposition. While the Mirai is shipping, the fueling network is sparse and incapable of handling more than a few cars. Hundreds of thousands of EVs are out there in use. Fuel Cell cars are largely in prolonged beta while they figure out how to deliver fuel to a car that may never ship in volume.

I think we’d have this already/automatically as our interconnectivity has grown.

It’s media and government propaganda stoking fear of the other for their gain which actively thwarts it. — up to the point which it can live organically once again in the greater populace.

But that’s just like, my opinion, man.
Yeah, I’ll believe this when a 3rd party shows it to me. Seems like they’re combing for benchmarks. Intel should focus instead on hiring new engineers to fix their garbage chips and process before AMD, Apple, Amazon, and god knows who else clean their clock.
One option: pick an arbitrary bank that's been around for a few decades, perhaps one that isn't huge enough to have been investing in building internal engineering/platform capability for the last decade, but is large enough to have gone through a few mergers and thus internally runs on a mix of legacy IT systems from a mix of formerly independent smaller banks.

It may be more mainframes and windows boxes than linux. You might find production solaris machines.

Larger older telcos might be interesting as well.
The game is nearly twenty years old. It's really a pity that you didn't play it at its peak. Do you know "Running with Rifles"? I think line of sight is not a thing there, but it still reminds me of your idea.
Yep, if you Google Thorn you'll find a bunch of material on how law enforcement uses them and related statistics. Several of the other companies (I admittedly haven't done a deep dive on all of them) have similarly accessible material.
"uuencode" was also used in the Usenet days.
> Rule #1: teams should not be divided on a country by country basis.

I don't think I agree. It's great for individuals and countries to be friendly, but I see two problems with a one-world-government system:

1. It concentrates an extreme quantity of power in the hands of a few people. Power has a potential of corrupting those who hold it, and I believe that potential increases on an exponential (or at least an algebraic) scale, not a linear scale.

2. If an evil personage gains power (think 20th century dictators), a single world country would suffer significantly. But having countries separated provides a limit and a check on the potential fallout of that dictator's actions.
Depends what you mean. Genetics plays a big role in competitive bodybuilding, but it plays a big role in any sport. Some people are genetically predisposed to put muscle on easier, some people genetically can be leaner, all of these things can help. At the upper levels of the sport you will see people that work very hard, have good genetics, and do lots of steroids.
Ooh! What happened to OpenLieroX? I used to love it, but I see there hasn't been a release in ages. Is development still ongoing? Is it still tied to that quirky abandoned networking library that I can't remember the name of? How did it stand up to the original Liero being opened up?

(Rereading the above I sound super critical. That was not my intention!)
Just look at athletes before widespread steroid use. They have spent way more time training than actors and haven't looked like that even in sports that require dehydration like boxing.

That's exactly the problem with lying about steroids. It took a while for Arnold and his successors to admit that they were on 1000mg of test per week (plus other stuff of course; normal production of even high test men is below 100mg). Now people believe that yeah that bodybuilders are obviously juiced but physiques of elite athletes like soccer players or Hollywood actors are natural because they are smaller.

Remember, significant % of guys in your local gym are on juice. There are no doping controls in Hollywood. Testosterone won't kill you, it may even make your life better if you use it wisely. Would you take it if million dollars and fame were on the line? We know they take it because we know quite well how juiced up physiques look.

Besides, if someone who is not a professional athlete did 6 hours of serious training per day their body would give up sooner rather than later unless the recovery was "enhanced".

I don't condemn steroid use btw. I oppose widespread lying about it by the users and the media.
