Ah, it looks like you're largely right. Brazil export 83 million tons of soy in 2020[1] and produced 137 million tons in the 2020-2021 "marketing year"[2]. Can I assume most of what it didn't export went to feed Brazillian livestock?

It's the opposite for me. Recruiters ignore my most recent and relevant (tech wise) side projects and focus on the 'job' I had years ago. As someone who wants to change careers (go from Data Engineering to Front End Engineering) this is very frustrating.
We cannot know because if we check this will influence the result of the calculation.
1. They can't all be zingers. Broken clocks are right twice a day and no one succeeds 100% of the time.

2. Keep a daily log then summarize it weekly. Summarize weekly logs monthly and quarterly. After success or failure go back over your logs before having a retrospective and see if you can identify choices or behaviors that pushed the outcome.

3. Was the failure within your control? If so how can you stop it next time? If not how can you avoid a situation where you are on the hook for a project without the autonomy to make it right?

4. Change the place you work, or change the place you work. If you don't have the autonomy for success find a place that compensates you and you have fewer responsibilities or are empowered to succeeded.

Don't sweat it we all screw up.
There’s obviously a lot of people who like playing games in a more mobile format, as evidenced by the huge popularity of the Switch Lite / mobile gaming.

Giving the PC games market access to that form factor seems, on its face, like an extremely good move.

But we’ve seen products like this before — the NVIDIA Shield, for one. Pretty cool piece of tech, but didn’t exactly start a revolution.

I guess the question becomes “what percentage of current PC gamers are motivated to shell out $400 to play on the train?”

Frankly, I feel like it’s probably a decent number of people? Enough for this product to do okay, if not change the whole market. But people have been very confidently incorrect about almost every iteration of mobile gaming in the past. I guess we’ll see.
There's no way to know whether that's the candidate's code or copy-paste or they paid someone else to do it, short of using interview time to evaluate it. However, employers also want to provide a level playing field to all candidates, including those without side projects, so there are common evaluation points that are used for all candidates for each interviewer, meaning that little or no time is left in the interview to have that discussion.

As an aside, unlike other comments, I do read all resumes of candidates that make it to the interview stage in detail and ask questions about it to try and get a sense of whether there's any inflation going on or not.
I agree. This is a tech monopoly using its position of near-absolute power to try and oust a lesser competitor by co-opting their business model. Naïve "invisible hand" types will just see this as healthy competition, not realizing how hard Google can leverage other parts of their company to make this succeed and potentially destroy all competition. Anti-competitive behavior like this doesn't always result in destroying competition, e.g. Instagram Stories being a complete rip-off of Snapchat's entire app after Zuckerberg tried and failed to acquire Snapchat. It did hurt Snap Inc. [2], but they're still around.

Luckily Google has a huge history of adopting and then abandoning their projects[1]. So, maybe we'll get lucky and this will flop as hard as Twitter's Fleets.

> [0] It may sound shocking but billionaires wouldn't be billionaires if they didn't spend less than they earn. Creating more billionaires or giving them more money is an effective way of decreasing demand and thus the potential for your economy to grow.

You are saying that billionaires do more than consume; they save money. If we wish to be more specific, we could say that billionaires, by and large, invest money, billions of it, in enterprises which will make them more money.

Economies don't grow from some abstract demand existing, they grow from production (of final goods and services). Investment in productive assets is the key to the economy's growth.

Obviously some billionaires do more to be leeches than others, but that sort of enterprise seldom needs actual net investment. And obviously not all capital comes from billionaires, and not all billionaires deserve as much money as they have — but your premise here is quite backwards. A billionaire consuming all his wealth by building mansions, showy superyachts, private planes, and the like, is much worse for the economy than a typical billionaire investment, because the superyacht is not a productive asset, it is an extravagant waste.
He's not necessarily involved in the intimate engineering of rockets. He's deeply involved in the engineering of a rocket company.

Talent and Engineering prowess are pointless without direction, and Musk provides strong leadership to move the company in the direction he sees fit. The actual rocket scientists are Woz, and Musk is Jobs.
RAI is a lot easier to understand than the US dollar, in my experience.

Unless you mean "understand how the price behaves", in which case RAI is pretty simple too.
> I dont know why any engineers put up with this anywhere in industry ... Coding is barely interesting enough to get paid to do it.

If the second part of the above is how you feel then I totally understand the first half.

Personally, after decades in the industry I still enjoy coding in my own time at least a few hours a week. For many of those who feel like me, we don't "put up with this". We do it by choice, independent of any regard for the impact or otherwise on employment prospects, and class it as a down-time leisure pursuit.

For myself, what I do for a day job I'd probably still do even if I had an independent income (though I'd choose more interesting projects).
The key to the price is that Musk is projecting it will be able to be reused many more times than Falcon 9, as well as a reusable 2nd stage.
JFYI, maybe it is just me, but in Assets ->House you have:

Effective yearly tax rate

Yearly maintenance costs

Yearly insurance rate

I automatically visualize "rate" as a percentage but I see "costs" as being expressed in actual money, so I inserted (believed to be inserting) 2,000 Euro in maintenance costs which of course ended up being 2,000% of the asset value.

Quickest bankrupt ever!

Maybe Yearly Maintenance Rate would be less prone to possible errors?

From personal experience: I thought my lack of assertiveness came from the lack of self-confidence. But once my self confidence got fixed (which is a whole separate story), it turned out assertiveness is rarely needed. The fine art of not giving a shit trumps all other virtues.
I got to see Falcon Dragon launch in Florida along the A1-A. People there credit SpaceX for single-handedly rekindling the lure and luster of space travel. They were sad when the shuttle program got shut down by NASA but now a whole new generation of space enthusiasts, optimists, and futurists get to see the awesome advances being made in the US. It's patriotic AF. The color, sparkle and glow of it was something I'll never forget. My only regret is I don't have any children to have shared it with. But there'll be more launches!

USB 2 on a mobile device might be for limiting power consumption?
Yeah I think we mostly agree. The only point of disagreement, from my perspective, is that I think we already know that crackdowns don't work no matter how stringent. People will drink (Prohibition) and do drugs (War on Drugs) regardless. Yes, there are societal costs and I think it's right to consider them, but I think those costs exist regardless, and we add onto them by taking the same punitive (and expensive) approach we've tried over and over again.
I always thought the games were made more difficult than they appear, or that elements of randomness were introduced to games of skill, such as using inaccurate guns for shooting galleries.

I did not think that apparent games of skill would be rigged so as to be impossible to win when played perfectly until a certain number of losses had occurred. I expected that kind of behavior to be regulated as gambling, and probably outright banned most places that have sophisticated regulations about gambling.

GitHub's primary business is hosting open source software. There's no way they are going to claim that every user who uploaded code without owning the full rights is violating their TOS.
But legally, they can't provide such a license. So GitHub can't have that license, surely, because they never had the legal authority to bestow it upon Github.
Our politicians (former and present) are a shame upon our nation. It's not surprising that this kind of language comes at a time when our parliament members have almost unanimously approved sending refugees out to camps outside our own country for processing. [1]

The cry of Denmark is more and more a sick "keep the nation pure" that echoes other countries across the globe in their moves firmly to authoritarian purity politics. Where does this stop and when?

Very cool, Anything similar for Linux?
This is actually a really insightful way to look at it. I gather you are saying Facebook should not be the one to do the "filtering," but also that it's not ideal for each individual to have to do it themselves. What's the solution?
All the more reason to buy Steam Deck, I guess.
>Why is there no value in that?

Because it's uninteresting. The point of pure math is not to be "useful", it's to be interesting. The Collatz Conjecture is (as yet) a completely useless result. Like I said, if God himself came down and told the world "The Collatz Conjecture is true", all we'd get is a useless piece of trivia. "The Collatz Conjecture is true for the first 2^68 natural numbers" is even more worthless than that. Maybe it'd be useful if we had an application for it, but for context, many pure mathematicians are quite derisive at the idea that their work should have practical applications.

Here's a digression, a simple math problem. If you take a checkerboard and remove two opposite corner squares, can you tile the remaining 62 squares with 31 dominoes?

You can probably write a program that can exhaustively churn through all the possible arrangements of dominoes in a checkerboard, and it'll spit out the answer (it's "no"). But is that interesting? No. This is a boring fact, "if you take a checkerboard and remove the two opposite corners you can't tile the remaining squares with 31 dominoes". No one cares about that.

But, here's a proof that this is true. If you look at the colors of each square on a checkerboard, there are 32 black squares and 32 white squares. When you remove the two opposite corner squares, you're removing two squares of the same color. So you have 30 black squares and 32 white squares left (or the converse). Meanwhile, every domino takes up one black square and one white square. So no matter how you place 31 dominoes, they should cover 31 black squares and 31 white squares. Therefore, we've proven the tiling is impossible.

That's somewhat interesting. You have an easily understandable argument for why the fact is true, and you have an application of a method (here, invariants) for looking at other math problems. Plus, it's kinda fun and satisfying and "elegant" to solve a problem like this. The proof is much, much more interesting than knowing the answer to the problem. Hopefully this helps convey that.
I think it’s important to recognize that most ML models will not be built in top of copyleft material. It will mostly use data that we as users have voluntarily provided to someone at some point and to which that platform now claims ownership. So we need to think long and hard about whether or not we believe any of these models should receive any copyright protection at all and in a much broader context. I think if we insist on claiming that copilot is copyrightable itself and should be under GPL then we have totally capitulated with respect to all other use cases in a way that actually further protects incumbent advantage for large companies and which deprived everyone else of any benefit or remuneration for their own data. You’re basically saying it’s ok for companies to privatize the collective knowledge of all of humanity. I’m not on board with that.

If you want to implement basic functionality like push notifications in your PWA[1], Apple has gone out of their way to not implement them in Safari, and they prevent other browser engines from being distributed on the App Store.

The marketing line and apologetics imply that it's dangerous for PWAs to implement that basic functionality, therefore it's a good thing that PWAs are hobbled on iOS.

Whoever named this an idiot, my first thought was reading “Stream Deck” and I thought it was streaming device. Valve makes good hardware but their marketing is terrible leading to abandoned hardware that enthusiasts rave about. The marketing page is white... it is Valve... why is the marketing site white?!?!
but you'll have to make a bigger "portable" console as a result, and it would cost way more than $399

it's a trade off

the main selling point here is it's portable, let's not forget that
The button placement seems really high, but it might be comfortable to play while resting the bottom on a table.
This looks like it will trounce the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo doesn't even have new hardware in the pipeline other than an iterative OLED screen.

Now that Nintendo depends on a single portable console, is there a risk that they'll go the way of Sega?
They have ECC in ATSC (that's part of how they detect the glitches). The issue they have is the audio codecs used in ATSC simply aren't robust, don't degrade gracefully, and require a lot of bandwidth.

The issue we have is that just now, ATSC 1.0 has become the standard everywhere, yet that was a standard from 1995. As you could imagine, we've come a LONG way in the last 26 years in terms of codec capabilities.

If we could just get people to upgrade equipment... ATSC allows for much more robust error handling but it's not used because few devices support it.
>SteamOS 3.0 (Arch-based)

What? So they ditched Debian?

>1280 x 800px (16:10 aspect ratio)

Yeah... that's like 2000s.

Seriously who what this? For those who can spend fortune for the PC games, they have better options. Those who can't spend that much, Nintendo switch is probably better for the gaming.
> The weather takes some adjusting, but not more than it took to adjust to the Bay Area fogginess for this SoCal native. Most of the year it’s beautiful out here.

4 months a year above 90F, 7 months above 80F. I'm glad it works for you, but that's some adjusting indeed; people don't set their thermostats to 80F or 90F for a reason, and it's not just cost.

Regarding Bay Area fogginess, did you mean SF / Pacific coast fogginess? Most of the Bay Area seems to be fog-free. I don't remember the last time I saw fog in San Mateo.
Gotta admit, I never saw that coming. I thought SteamOS was dead after the failure of Steam Machines and Valve was only continuing with their Linux efforts because it's still a useful hedge against Microsoft locking everyone in the App Store. I totally did not expect them to copy the Switch use-case with it.

I'm anxious to see how this turns out. Valve's history with hardware is not so great, so it could go nowhere like Steam Machines, Steam Link, and the Steam Controller did. On the other hand, it could end up all but killing off PC gaming if it is super successful. If it lands somewhere in the middle it will at least be yet another boon for Linux gaming brought to you by Valve as more developers will port or ensure compatibility with Proton.
Is that actually different legally from an "ML" algorithm that xors the code with the same garbage 1M times or otherwise does something expensive to implement a noop?
Will these be as hard to find as the PS5 currently is? I suppose this should be affected by the silicon shortage as well...
As a constructivist I'll be over in the corner that says that there are only a countable number of real numbers, and the unimaginable number of unimaginable infinities that classical mathematics insiste exists is all made up nonsense. That, in fact, things that can't ever be named, even in principle, don't actually exist.

What is interesting is that as shocking as constructivism may be, there is no logical flaw in it. If classical mathematics is consistent, then so is constructivism. And "there exists" is a whole lot more meaningful in constructivism.
To follow up on this comment, I think that math should be viewed as a giant tree structure or pyramid

At the bottom are all sorts of applications of linear algebra and optimization (calculus) are related to machine learning, deep learning (AI), physics, engineering etc.

One level up there are all sorts of ideas in algebra and mathematical analysis that are leading to new ideas in linear algebra and optimization (calculus)

Going one level higher, there are ideas in mathematical logic and set theory that are improving our understanding our algebra and analysis.

If you look at a specific result at the very top of the pyramid as ask why does it matter? It is difficult to give a good answer. Clearly we want to base of the pyramid, but do we need to keep building it up? Should we stop at a certain level?
I've been through a lot of heavy dental work. I've been in such chairs for hours, my jaw held open with metal apparatus, anesthetics working on me, drills and grinders making smoke, and all the while I'm required to remain still. Anyone that has experienced this has absolutely no question in their mind about the value of an elaborate, comfortable dentist's chair.

If anything they could be better. Larger, specifically. Some of us are tall and it seems the designers of these chairs are unaware that people can grow beyond 5'10".
> It gives me the sense that you think maximizing profits for shareholders is "the greater good", moreso than doing what(in the opinion of employees) is right.

This is correct. This is win-win for shareholders and employees.

And if an employee thinks the company should not maximize profits, they can work in non-profit organization.

But why come to for-profit company and demand that company to stop making profits? It does not make sense to me.

> it's different when the employees opinion differs for moral reasons

Moral reasons is a slippery slope. What is moral to one group or people is immoral to other group of people.

I imagine employees may say, we must fight climate change, so we must replace our trucks with electric trucks. This is definitely moral, but this might be not sustainable, and this might be a way to make a company bankrupt. So you express your opinion about trucks, but leave it to the management to decide, whether it can afford it. They often can (because for example good publicity).
Alyx is a VR game, not a video game in my book.
Nope, it's on the dock. One USB-3, two USB-2. There's no power consumption reason for the dock.
Digital cable boxes with Firewire were a fun-but-super-tedious way for a brief few years to be able to record even digital cable content to a PC.

Now I just stream it. At least I don't have to think about it, but I don't "have" copies of it in the same way - but... the more decades go by, the less of that old stuff I recorded in 2010 that I'd ever watch again from those old hard drives anyway.
I'd argue the opposite.

The Steam Controller was a work of technical art (albeit without the centuries of experience in ergonomics its competitors had).

The Steam Link was a few years ahead of its competitors.

And the Steam Vive's Lighthouses were a literal light-speed ahead of the Oculus for a while.

Fully agree however that you're right that they're too small to support a hardware long past its release when the market share is too small.
Steam Deck just doesn't seem to roll off the tongue, maybe it will grow on me.
> "To the extent you see a piece of suggested code that’s very clearly regurgitated from another source — perhaps it still has comments attached to it, for example — use your common sense and don’t use those kinds of suggestions.”

how is "use common sense" even remotely a meaningful thing
Is this going to be locked down? Can I use a web browser or install my own Linux apps?
The best part is that you don't need to buy games if you already have a Steam library full of games.
So, I guess its plays only games from Steam? I'm curious, does every game on Steam run on SteamOS? cus SteamOS is Linux.
The size of that thing looks like half a laptop... I'm wondering about how comfortable that beast is?

I would love to see more competition in portable land, but it will take a lot to pull me away from the Nintendo Switch.

I'm also wary as Valve hardware has had an up and down history.
Given this fair use argument that the work is probably transformative enough here's what I'll be doing next. I'll take the Windows and Office source code, run it through a decompiler and then train a neural network on that output. This sequence of steps should be at least as transformative of Microsoft's copyright as what Copilot is doing with the open-source corpus, probably much more so. I will then use that neural network to write patches for ReactOS and WINE. Since those projects are very weary of interaction with Microsoft copyrighted works could Microsoft Legal please publicly state their assurance that all this is perfectly legal use of their copyrights? Maybe that would help convince people.
USB 3/C has really fine grain power control - using "PD" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#USB_Power_Deliver...), it's possible to negotiate the rates pretty finely - so I don't think it's that.
I really wonder what the point of this is. Mobile gaming is a meme at this point. It's a thing but phones and tables have it well catered too. We don't need another mobile gaming thing that will surely be in the bargain bin in as couple years.
