I dislike these kind of books, since they are designed to overcomplicate things by appealing to the mids and upper-mids needs to follow authority, defer to expertise, and use checklists and systems to try and remove any unpleasantness from interactions. "This common thing is really important! Because of science! Here is a study! Here are the health benefits! Let's also tie this into reducing climate change! I have used my big brain to give you a blueprint of how things should go! It's all good, because someone on the book jacket is wearing a lab coat!"

I honestly await titles like "The Lost Art of Petting a Kitten," and "Outdoors; the Secret Benefits of Putting Your Laundry Outside to Dry."

I'd also suggest the authors to follow the nifty trend of profanity in the titles of these self-help books. "I Don't Give a Fuck: The Vital Art of Talking to Strangers" and "Badass: The Power of Strangers" might help sales among certain demographics.
> Tim Grewe, GM’s Global Electrification and Battery Systems Director, told Car and Driver that the Ultium pack does not suffer capacity loss from excessive DC fast charging, so GM will not advise users to charge the pack to less than 100 percent.

I'm guessing this means just means "100%" charge is not actually 100% of the battery. Most other EVs do this by a few % (even Tesla), but they also don't recommend charging to 100%. I guess GM will limit it even further.
I imagine progress in AI is hockey-stick shaped, not linear. We could have 18 years of stagnant progress and then be overwhelmed in year 19. It seems impossible to predict.
Totally agree, I tried and failed. Kudos for making it! And keep it up!
PPO is awesome, but so is GPT-style reward-trajectory prediction! http://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.01345v1.

As a RL hobbyist, I'd love to see some sort of hybrid approach. Thoughts?
The difference between C++ and Python is that the Python standard library is actually useful to get practical work done (the famous "batteries included" philosophy). The C++ standard library can't quite decide if it wants "academical purity", or solve real world problems, and the result is a remarkably useless mishmash of random ideas.
This might be regional, but almost all people I know in Germany keep their eggs outside the fridge.

One important thing to note (which is mentioned in the article) is that once eggs have been refrigerated you need to keep them refrigerated, because the warming up after refrigeration makes the shell more permeable thus increasing the chance of salmonella entering the egg.
Rust is the new, improved C++.

Rust is being added to the Linux kernel and is making inroads in domains where C and C++ have historically been used. It can match (and sometimes exceed) the performance of C and C++ but with better memory safety and sound concurrency.

C++ won't go away anytime soon, but it's practically disingenuous to call C++ "the new Python".
They have a point, since the foreskin has many nerve endings.

I would take any post on a "Survivors of Narcissistic Parents" or similar group with a grain of salt. While many of the stories are true, sometimes the speaker is the narcissist.

If someone tells you that everybody around them is always lying they are usually the liar. The same way some people who can't seem to work anywhere without having constant drama are the source of the conflict.

The idea that an "open and liberal" Hong Kong is a better Hong Kong is purely subjective. While these ideals have generally accompanied historical success in the west, they have not in China. The CCP is not necessarily the Boogieman you want them to be.
> I don't mean to be rude, at all, but facts are life isn't fair. Climate systems don't sit around arguing over the equitability of development rights based on who emitted carbon when.

I’ll put it simpler: you are completely wrong about what needs to be done and by whom.

Accidentally or not, you are repeating the narrative of eugenicists who are obsessed with over population in the global south, rather than the actual facts on the ground. We need to focus on de-carbonizing our industry, rather than the reproduction rate of those who currently consume the fewest resources per capita.
I would love to see a book on modern C++ (11 and beyond) in general, for people used to other languages. I'd like to learn it at some point but it's honestly really intimidating.
I'm but you can be completely right about having been wrong in the past, but growth is an exponential phenomenon in a world with a fixed amount of resources.

You're just saying "it's worked before, it should work again" as an argument. This is complete garbage.
What are you doing in a terminal that you need real-time collaboration? Here's what I do in my terminal:

* log in to AWS
* push commits (though that's mostly in Emacs now)
* tail logs from remote services
* use ssh
* random grepping/cat/awk/sed one-off stuff

I don't see any of those benefiting from real-time collaboration. The use-cases presented on the landing page don't make sense to me either - when my entire team is debugging production, we usually fan out and all look at different things rather than needing to fan-in and all do/look at the same thing. And if I want to chat I'll have Slack open next to the terminal.
Ha! I was going to comment in here that I used Monodraw for the book and really fell in love with the tool.

What I did more recently is to use Monodraw to create diagrams of CFGs and put those next to the test cases (see [0] or [1]) which exercise those graphs - the power of ASCII, you can just copy the graphs into your code.

Batteries could be used as part of the structure itself (similar to the transition we made from separate fuel tanks to simply putting fuel in the wings). That saves a lot of weight.
> How does that even work?

Well, it could work similar to the existing and uncontroversial laws, that are already widespread on certain communication companies.

Specifically, we could take common carrier laws, which already apply to certain communication companies, and extend them.

Those laws are uncontroversial, and established. So it is silly to claim that such a thing is unconventional.

> We’ll have to repeal the first amendment

No we won't. Common carrier laws already exist, and we didn't have to repeal the 1st amendment to have them.
The lobbying efforts done by car makers paint a very different picture.

You get the batteries and the renewable energy by building factories that produce batteries and by building wind turbines and solar panels. It's not rocket science.
I like your idea. At worst, you'd find out sooner or later if these shared values are a myth. Getting to know others is never a mistake.

I met plenty of different strangers from around the world through Hospitality Club (the concept later copied by CouchSurfing) and never had a bad experience. Many of my friends and family thought it was dangerous inviting strangers into your home. And maybe today it is, I'm not sure. But back then practically everyone signed up there had the same open-minded spirit, they wanted to learn about people in other countries and further intercultural understanding and friendship. I've met lots of people from very different walks of life, people I might have never otherwise talked to. This is positive diversity, when there's a shared value and people can unite around it and trust each other.

To give a negative example many people in Western societies, in their strive to not be racist, have bought into the false belief that all cultures are equal, that you're assigned one by birth and that you're not allowed to criticize the culture of "other" people. Which ironically in itself is a racist idea. This in turn has lead to political movements that consider it taboo discussing certain problems connected with topics like religion, culture and ethnicity. And it's given birth to the kind of laissez-faire multiculturalism where problems never get addressed and crime, mistrust and conflict are rampant. Because people either get divided among identity lines like you mention, or unchecked immigration gives these societies the death blow (the Western European model).

> Diesel engines won't go anywhere as they're needed for stuff like farming equipment

Is there a reason tractors, combines etc couldn't be electric too? I don't know about the mega tractors of the massive farms of US and Canada, but at least here in Europe, tractor engines have surprisingly few horse powers.
There was a time in the US when good god fearin' church folk could gather together for traditional cultural expressions like extra-judicial lynchings of wrongly accused black men. You have to think America's lost something over the years. Thankfully.
I think they'll stick around for the applications they're good at. Big, heavy machinery, sports cars, those kinds of applications.

You won't see many of them on the roads, though, or be able to easily buy new ones. Like steam engines, they'll become museum pieces, hobbyist equipment or reminders to a bygone era.

Don't hold your breath, though. A car can easily last 10 years, 25 if made and maintained well, much longer with special care. We'll be seeing them at least into the 2050s, though they'll probably get banned from places like city standards as emission standards become stricter.
"Toxic" is just a catchier-sounding synonym for "harmful." It doesn't imply intent — in fact, that's one of its strengths, and one of the major components in the shift in the way we collectively talk about things over the past couple decades. Part of the conversation around race, for example, has been an awareness by more and more people that unintentional harms are far more prevalent than intentional ones, and in total are something to be taken seriously.

What if everyone is a "bad" parent? What if no parent lives up to their child's expectation? Intentional harm or not, people coming of age have to reckon with the gap between their idealized understanding of/hope for their parents, and their increasing understanding of the tradeoffs adult life demands. Personally, I think putting that reckoning front and center is a good thing. Burying our resentments doesn't solve things—talking them through and understanding each others' perspectives does.

How will that impact the quality of the product in comparison to, say, iTerm2?

I see the team [1] has some strong credentials, which honestly looks overpowered for "just" a terminal app. Unfortunately, that makes me suspicious of their goals for "just" a terminal app, which has a relatively well-established expected feature-set.

If you love multiple things totally equally as a total novice(aka haven’t put a ton of time yet into it but shows initial talent), pick one (with rng if needed) and stick with it for an hour a day or so for a while. If you like it and it works for you keep doing it.

"Oh and China is now suggesting 3 kids per couple will be to tolerated..."

China came up with the same problem that all developed economies have come up against - low birthrate, and the all the economic baggage that comes with it.

I find it unlikely the party could pump up birth rate just by dictate though.
Wikipedia became self-hosting after over a year
raw pointers.. or homegrown strings, vectors and hash tables.

C++ soldiers on because it can support such things and adapt to decades of changing hardware and philosophy. But the pain of using and composing libraries in C++ is not just about not having cargo or npm - it's the lack of consensus on data types for anything beyond C primitives.

If you're asking for financial advice based on the assumption that conventional finance may collapse, your hedge would be to invest in making yourself self-sustainable. Land, wood, gas, knowledge.
As if"virtue signaling" isn't at least as bad a tell.
This only holds true if you are ok with areas with high birth rates and low consumption remaining poor and refusing to let them migrate to the rest of the world, which seems a hugely unlikely scenario in practice.

It seems most likely that either these areas will develop economically and thus consumption will rise, or their skyrocketing populations and lack of development will cause rising internal tensions/crises and pressure to emigrate to the higher-consumption parts of the world. Most likely some of both.

"Adding 2.5 billion poor people to the planet in 80 years won't be a problem because we'll ensure they stay impoverished and in their home countries" isn't really as palatable a solution to overpopulation as you make it sound.

Highly recommend this Joe Rogan episode with David Sinclair [1]. He touches on population growth, fertility rates, and technology. Most importantly, what the impact of living longer will have. I've dug deeper than the podcast and read some of his writing on population and it's really interesting stuff. It may make you rethink the "we'll breed to our doom" mantra.

> I've found the only safe strategy with social media/society is just to be very careful/clear/explicit with what you Tweet in the first place so that it can't be taken out of context.

Twitter, as a medium, is anti-context. The UI, the character limit, the behavior of the most prominent voices on the platform, everything encourages you to post hot takes that require as little context as possible to drive engagement.

Being "careful/clear/explicit about what you Tweet in the first place so that it can't be taken out of context" is equivalent to not Tweeting at all.
You guys did a really great job with the user experience! I'd love to see an interactive Repl/Notebook with the UI/UX you've figured out for the terminal.

That was a trashcan. Glad they are getting rid of it.
Smart pointers are a weird example because they're ancient. I'd say the majority of C++ libraries expect C++11, many C++14.

Also it's still completely normal to use raw pointers or references when a function doesn't care about ownership.
Talking about resources needs to specifically call out fresh water management. It's not exactly a shortage but it's more essential than oil.

When upstream dams a river, does downstream shrug and walk away? What about collecting rainfall on your own property? Ecology? Agriculture? Industry (hello Nestle)? Droughts affect power: Hoover dam is below capacity because Lake Meade is about 100 feet low and falling, plus Oroville dam is expected to shut down power this summer. Does this mean spinning up more carbon generators to fill in the hydro gaps? Desalination and pumping both take power. So many issues.
It's hard. I love that the kindle app is on iphone and syncs w the ereader... but really the best thing is to keep the reader on my person. Kind of pushes me into the thought of "I'm lugging this thing around I had better use it." Works better with an actual book but I'm a sucker for the kindle.
This is it, no matter what words you mute, no matter how much you block/mute users. Twitter considers it of the utmost importance that they get to push content, politics and news they consider important in a 3rd of the screen, always.

The last thing I care about in the world is what employees at Twitter consider valuable to put in the "What's happening" column.

Twitter could do with taking a page out of TikTok's and oldschool Reddit's book at making their app about me and my interests and passions rather than being a megaphone for a few insufferable bluechecks and twitter employees that I struggle to hear my interests from under the cacophony of things I do not care about.
> The controversial MIT analysis generated heated debate, and was widely derided at the time by pundits who misrepresented its findings and methods. But the analysis has now received stunning vindication from a study written by a senior director at professional services giant KPMG, one of the 'Big Four' accounting firms as measured by global revenue.

Not to worry guys! KPMG is on the case and can help your company do a risk assessment to prepare for collapse. Based on their finding they will implement a solution for you!

Funny, coming from machine learning, C++ is taking over from Python there as well. Why? I think it is because Python isn't really a deployment language for this domain (development, yes). Also, C++ lets you bend C in ways that are more Pythonlike (from STL classes to templates to zany overloads). The downside: C++ that has been massaged for years by multiple academics can end up being far more dense and difficult to understand than Python over the same period. For example, look at TFLiteMicro github, it is a snarl of custom idioms in C++. Compared to TensorFlow, it is IMHO a mess and a symptom of unchecked C++ style.
... and guns in that case. IMHO that's not necessary good plan.
Yeah Rust will mostly kill c++ overtime. I know people keep talking about modern c++ and the language has certainly improved, but it’s nowhere near the productivity of Rust.

With how slow the c++ community moves and how much debt they have I think it’s game over in most arenas
You sir have no clue what you talking about, a payload geter in your ssd-firmware survives your distro-hop and can adapt to every OS (if your information is worth the work). And an encrypted disk...on man i stop arguing, it's obvious that you really don't have a clue.
I don't mean just the democrats no. It seems to me to be a large faction of people, including certain elements of the 'alt-right'.

But yes, you're right in that I perceive the left as having demonized belonging to a church. This explains the growing disconnect between the democratic party and minorities, and why the GOP has started to make gains with them. The democratic party ignores religion at its own peril.

It's especially weird since the democratic party used to be really into religion.

This is hardly a 'right wing talking point'. My own parents left the democratic party because of this, well before they had ever tuned in to Fox, Limbaugh, or whatever. Labeling something as a 'right wing talking point' is just a democratic dog whistle to ignore real phenomena.

I use lists. I found https://github.com/KrauseFx/twitter-unfollow which moves all of your follows to a private list. Then move people from the private list to a topic list.

I also use Tweetbot on my Mac, which allows me to filter retweets. That means I only see what people say. I do use another filter on my National Basketball Association list to block a certain keyword.

The downsides of Tweetbot is that it doesn't support everything that Twitter offers (polls, probably fleets, etc.) and is about $10.
James Clear writes in his book Atomic Habits, that making one small change and performing that change consistently every day is the compound interest of life. I like how James’ description and the one from your book suggestion are so similar.
