It's going to have to be a different mode and mimetype because this format would break all kinds of parsers.

I wish something would done in this area relatively soon though because JS has added a number of features that would make a new JSON much nicer like multi-line strings and BigInts.

I think JSON + comments, commas, template literals, BigInt, NaN, Infinity, and BigDecimals (if/when those land in JS) would be very useful. (It'd be nice to include dates, but that's tricky w/o a literal and because dates)

What tools did they fail to learn? If we went from a state of identifying species to not identifying them, and the major change is removing the taxonomists, isn't it arguable that they were doing fine if not better than without them?

> A "white whale" is something you especially DO want. "White washing" is making something bad look good by covering it in white. A white elephant is something so precious that it's inconvenient. The only word on that list that makes a white thing actively bad is obscure Australian political slang: white ant.

The white whale was an aberration, a freak of nature (just like a black sheep). White-washing has indisputably negative connotations. A white elephant is something that is incredibly expensive but fails to deliver any value.

> Meanwhile, I can just go black sheep, black magic, black market, black mark, blackmail, black hand, blackball, black mood...

I can play this game all day, too. "White as a sheet", "deathly white", "bleed someone white", "wave a white flag", "white feather". But again, none of this has any relevance whatsoever because white people aren't literally white and black people aren't literally black. We know racism exists, you don't need to manufacture some supposed linguistic association to prove it.

As a rule, whenever one feels tempted to say "just do <x>", it's time to wait and think. Because, if it's "just" about doing something, why isn't it being done already?

In this case: let's say it's feasible to retrofit runways to use this system (it probably isn't) and look at a few issues.

For instance: "the cable releases from the plane". No system is fail safe. What happens if the cable does NOT release from the plane? What happens if it snags during the takeoff roll? What happens when there's wind gusts?

If there's no cable, and it's "just" a rail, presumably the plane is taking off aligned to the rail. What happens if the alignment is off? Or is the 'rail' supposed to keep the plane straight? If so, what about the force distribution on the plane's landing gears or (if a specialized system is installed), in the fuselage?

So say you have such a system and everything has been retrofit. What happens if there's an issue with the land-based generator during the take off roll? Would the aircraft still have enough power to perform the take-off from the onboard batteries? If so, this is just about range and the system would never be installed, as aircraft would be certified with the lower range instead. If not, it's a disaster in the making.

> I keep wondering if there could be a way to re-charge in flight so that battery range/weight wasn't such an issue, but that's a hard problem.

There isn't unless you can transfer power from elsewhere. In-flight "refueling" from another plane is out of the question. You are essentially left with beamed power from ground stations (or orbital if we are really forward thinking). That might theoretically be feasible (planes don't have a very large surface area so the power delivery system would probably look like a weapon and mostly behave like one). Engineering it is another matter, not to mention practicality.
Neo Geo emulation has not been considered high end for a long time now. PS3 is where the hardware hits the limits currently.
IIRC, aircraft with forward swept wings are very unstable and can only be controlled with fly by wire controls. The control surfaces are not necessarily doing what the pilot controls say they should be doing.

Scott Alexander is a public figure. Get over it.
Assuming his business makes enough money to satisfy his needs - there is no personal need to raise prices. Not everything follows a model of optimizing pricing to have a business that "functions better" in some abstract economics sense.

There is satisfaction in receiving fair wages for your work. At some price point, it feels like overcharging, even if customers are willing to pay that, and not everybody wants to go down that route. There is satisfaction in working with somebody like that, or buying from them, even if it takes longer.
This is an argument against specialization. You can’t do extremely difficult things while spending 20-30 hours a week on business management, public outreach, and fundraising. Since that’s the world were living in, might it explain how our tech progress has gotten less impressive in the last 2 decades?

I got to sit next to Jamie and Adam on a plane from Phoenix to Atlanta once, everyone totally knew who they were because they were wearing their stage clothes and everyone kept bugging them (and by extension, me). They were understandably annoyed the whole time. I suspect if they had taken a minor effort to not look like their TV roles there'd have been far fewer people that recognized them.

Yep! The problem here is that the software doesn't take into account extra release credits earned from a piece of legislation introduced in 2019. Currently, additional credits are earned and the software fails to apply them to the release date, so the parent is saying the fix is to multiply the number of time in the original sentence by .7 to get the new, reduced sentence.

Yes, thermal conductivity is of the utmost importance at the continuous current densities we are designing for.

That being said, typically the effective thermal conductivity of the winding (perpendicular to the axis of current flow) is limited by the insulation (strand and/or turn) and the encapsulation/varnish. As a result, changing the thermal conductivity of the conductors themselves will have much less impact on the total thermal resistance (from winding hotspot to coolant) than changing the insulation and encapsulant thermal conductivities.

At these very high power densities, the thermal RC time constants inside the motor are very short (small motor = small thermal capacity, low thermal resistance by design). Therefore, even for a "short" 10 minute takeoff, most of the motor will have already hit thermal steady state. As such, the motor needs to be able to run at takeoff power continuously. There has been a lot of fun discussion elsewhere in this thread about how to tackle that aspect of the problem (given that takeoff power is typically 3x cruise power).

I will say that we are working on developing a high thermal conductivity (> 1 W/m-K) and high temperature (> 300 C) insulation system.

the panels on my roof produce around double my power requirements. When I have too much, I sell it to my neighbours (the grid). At night, I'm pulling from the gas plant.

Out bush, I ignore the grid and run a couple of small batteries to keep the fridge going and the lights and wifi on. In town, I'll get the home battery set up once that's cost effective (I'm guessing this will be about the time we get the electric car)

this isn't niche: this config is pretty common both in the suburb where I live and in the rural area where I have my weekend hideaway, and its the way my whole region is quickly heading. Our governments are planning new solar + battery plants that can provide our current energy demands many times over. This is the shape of a modern economy.
exciting work! i'm curious has to how you think about hte tradeoff between power and efficiency? I guess you need to design for very high specific power for peak power requirements (takeoff / landing manoeuvres) but can still achieve good efficiency in a cruise
I think the problem is people want to play mobile games until they don't.

What works about the switch is the option. I can play handheld or pop it in its dock and play on the TV with other people. Phones never quite got this. They had the mobile part built-in, but attempts at multiplayer on a screen were either ignored or botched horrifically.

There's another big challenge with phone games, in my opinion ...

Phones are also very personal, and I've observed that people are less likely to commit to longer-term games on their phones for some reason. Some of it is no doubt inertia - the early games on mobile were meant to be played in full in under an hour. But part of it is - I think - that having your phone occupied by something persistent like a game robs people of their ability to use the phone in the open gaps we normally use phones.

Things like Switch or Stadia or whatever are dedicated gaming devices, even if they slingshot from your phone's computing power. I can use them and still have my phone in front of me. They do one thing and get out of the way.

That's all depressing to write out, but it's the world we live in.

I wish JSON supported comments, but I don’t really understand your criticism. You say:

> Without a standard format for comments, you have no reason whatsoever to expect the ad-hoc comments in a JSON file made by anyone who isn't you to be styled like JavaScript comments.

But, since comments are not supported in JSON, you can expect JSON from external sources to contain no comments whatsoever.

That’s precisely Crockford’s point: he didn’t want the format to have a comment syntax that works across different parties so that the only way to use comments is internally, i.e. with a custom comment syntax that you strip before interacting with external sources.
It certainly seems like something that will be towed.
Restrict access. Why does a prison management system need to be connected to a public network and be accessible to more than 20 or so authorized users? I worked on plenty of government systems using insecure software galore but it didn't really matter because we were air gapped and you needed to get through Fort Knox level physical security to get physical access to a terminal.

Granted, that doesn't make attack impossible, but it does make it very hard, especially when you disable all the USB ports and optical drives and socialize extreme consequences to any employees not following ITSEC rules.

You exempt national security, and suddenly everything is national security. Look at the FISA “courts”.

Yup. They are awesome. Bought a bunch of them when I visited Japan. If you are buying from a store, do check out the nib size on the nib itself rather than the cap, as the caps are interchangeable and the body does not have nib size markings.

They are a pleasure to write with and if you write with the 01 nib size with the nib facing the opposite way than normal, you get an extra extra fine line (at the cost of huge friction) that leads to amazing fine drawings.
The main technical surprise to me from your pitch is the integration of power electronics and motor in one package. Your windings, at 96.7% efficiency and 200 kW, need to dissipate 6.6 kW of heat. Your SiC FETs are more efficient and therefore produce less heat, and while they can take high temps, are more efficient at lower temperatures. Why not connect the inverter to the motor with a short cable, and package those separately?
Wow, that talk is a fantastic link. He actually gets negative overhead from using coroutines, because the compiler has more freedom to optimize when humans don't prematurely break the logic into multiple functions.
They pass then everyone else is unwilling to do anything for free ever again.
Don't need particularly large antennas at the Mars end. Basically if you double the size of the antenna at the Mars end you can halve the size of the antenna back here on Earth.

So to establish a link comparable to the Earth-MRO link which has 35m dish here on Earth and 3m antenna at Mars, you could have a 11m antenna at both ends. The hard part is lofting that 11m antenna into Earth orbit in the first place (shipping it to Mars from Earth orbit is easy in comparison).

As an example you could cut the 11m antenna into two pieces, each being a half of a circle with 5.5m radius. That would easily fit into the SpaceX Starship cargo hold. Loft that into orbit, assemble it in orbit, then send it on its way to Mars. The only technical challenges there are flying a spaceship which hasn't reached orbit yet, and performing orbital assembly of a spacecraft (which hasn't been done yet).

Then for completeness put two more of those relay satellites at the leading and trailing Lagrange points for Mars so that we have communication with Mars even when it's on the other side of the Sun.
> Nominal wages are sticky, for a complex mix of sociological reasons, and so employers do not always respond to lower demand with lower wages for workers. Instead they lay some people off, and that can lead to a recession.

> The second thing to know is that well-functioning central banks can offset such demand shocks to a considerable degree — or even prevent them from arising in the first place. The bank can engage in complex financial transactions or simply print more currency to stabilize nominal demand and restore some measure of order.

Is it that hard to say “we think wages among the working class are too high so the central bank depreciates the currency”?
If we were to agree that a simple task has low complexity to accomplish, and an easy task requires little energy to accomplish, then conflating them is straightforward, particularly when weighing the mental effort to accomplish the task. (Tying a shoelace is simple: four steps. Tying a shoelace with 5 pound weights on my wrists is still simple, but not easy.) Of course, if you don't agree to these definitions, then the intersection of them is thinner.

The house I moved into a couple years ago has woods and a stream behind it. The amount of birds I see is incredible. I put a few feeders out and I could probably see 100 birds in a day. My favorite is a pair of Carolina Wrens that forage around.

My toddler noticed a Northern Flicker the other day and it’s the first time I’ve seen one. We have at least 4 species of wood peckers that also stop by. There’s also a pair of red tail hawks that live close by. The female is huge.

How do you get crows to come close? They visit my woods but the trees are very high and they never come down.

The Jackass gang were, in their own way, quite brilliant I think.

It’s been a long time since I last watched them, but there was something special about the show and the movie.

It wasn’t simply people doing dumb things to hurt themselves.

It was more like, experiments to see what kind of crazy stuff they could pull off without hurting themselves too bad. That’s how I see it anyway.

It was also an insight into skateboarder culture.

And they were quite a creative bunch of people, often coming up with new things to try.

And on top of that they were good entertainers too.
> The PSP had a 480x272 screen, and you’re saying that this thing having 800p feels worse?

I was accounting for the fact that the PSP launched 16 years ago. It's a similar form factor - big screen, big power, short battery life.

> The Switch does 720p in portable mode and it’s tons of fun and is selling like crazy 3+ years after release.

Comparing this to the Switch is silly. They are nothing alike. Thinking you can compete with Nintendo in handheld gaming is like thinking you can compete with Google in search. History has shown this time and time and time again.

Nintendo sells the Switch because it's the only way to play Nintendo games. That is 90% of their value. The other 10% comes from having an affordable handheld gaming device in a comfortable form factor and they've been trying to get more third party and indie support.

> Then you talk about how tech specs don’t matter when you were just complaining about a spec?

Specs don't matter, and this thing has nothing to sell itself but specs - and its specs aren't even that good.

> There will be plenty of people that buy this.

I'm not saying nobody will buy it. I'm saying I won't, and I doubt it will be considered a success by most. But hey, if you like it and want to buy it go for it! If you love it that's what counts.

My biggest problem with voice user interfaces is that everyone can bloody hear you using them! When you type, you can clickety clack, but nobody knows what your clickety clacking means. When you write, and do work by hand, nobody can see what you write unless they're looking over your shoulder. But when you tell your voice-computer: "Create new document, titled 'Reason's why Tom is being fired,'" the whole office will hear you! If they could make a voice computer where you wouldn't have to talk, that'd be a winner.

(On a more serious note, maybe some kind of throat mic?)
the very simple thing lacking in this solution is that sometimes you want to programmatically _add_ comments to (or preserve comments within) some output file format. If they must be stripped before parsing, then it is definitionally impossible to do either of these things.

It's not unlike saying "actual code shouldn't allow comments - you can have a separate preprocessor in your non-code file that strips those out." Sure, you could do that, but all your line numbers would be meaningless and everyone would hate the language from day 1.
Cool idea - could also hire those people to pass “coding interviews”. Wont reflect bad on candidates as they wont really have to apply interview skills anyway.

While this is absolutely correct (Arizona state prisons are relatively famous for their minimum occupancy rates- Florence West, Phoenix West, and Marana Community Correctional Treatment Facility each have 100% minimum occupancy rates [1]), the one caveat I have to note is that private prisons in Arizona don't control, calculate, or have anything to do with awarding release credits and calculating release dates [2]. So, yes- you're completely right. Since they're in this situation where they get paid for 100% of their beds being filled even if they have 50%, 75%, even 97% capacity [3], the private company doesn't have much incentive to fudge release dates. Especially when the number of private bed contracts keep rising even though the total inmate population is decreasing [4].

However, by that same turn, it's been proven in court [3] that the state is on the hook for the minimum capacity % even when that capacity isn't met, and these contracts are fairly long (10 years + 2 renewable 5 year terms [5]). If the state is on the hook for up to 20 years of paying 100% to use 90% of something, there's a clear incentive to make a show of it being used.

So while there's no direct way for a private prison to fudge release date calculation, there's definitely no incentive for it to press the issue with the Department of Corrections considering the DoC could renegotiate the contract the following year [6]. As for the people in state office, it does not look or feel good to squander millions on an overestimation.

I'm not saying corruption is involved- all I'm saying is that there's certainly motive and opportunity for negligence.
