You are right. What we need is a completely new mechanism that does not really work all that well and is dependent on completely new technology.

What we shouldn’t do is look at what nearly every other developed country has done to manage this situation, to the point where the most expensive amongst them is still half as expensive as the US system.

This is an interesting paper, the article is here: https://interestingengineering.com/physicist-designed-a-plas...

The short version is that using a tokamak like structure you can build a device to accelerate plasma, and with that, when you throw it out the back of your rocket, you get thrust. Really high velocity thrust, like 20kM/sec. Depending on the gas used, you could set up some pretty high thrust there.

And as a bonus you can throttle it up and down!

Gaussian Processes in particular can be very useful in regression problems when you don't want to make strong assumptions about the functional form of the relationship between variables. (You can still introduce more general assumptions, like that the relationship is "smooth" to some degree or is periodic, by your choice of GP kernel function.)

Agreed. And furthermore, why haven't TV/film streaming services also not realised this. Is it because it isn't true? Do people really pay for Disney+, Netflix, and Hulu all at the same time?

This is a pretty good summary, but I do question what the Fed has to gain from a US digital currency. All of the “rationale” provided here boil down to “so the central banking system doesn’t ‘lose relevance.’” This argument doesn’t make sense to me at all. The Fed controls the supply and policy of money, so perhaps an instant digital currency would help them to implement their policies but is that really a concern of the Fed? This makes it seem like the Fed is worried about Venmo affecting the economy which I doubt it is. Given that the consequences of a shoddy or imperfect implementation would be catastrophic, it seems like something that would take decades of gradual movement.
I think you misunderstood GP. I don't think he was claiming that the insurance company was literally buying stocks, he is saying his manner of insuring his health is buying hospital stocks (in the hope that their value will go up high enough to pay off any medical procedures he needs in the future).
Julia has a JIT compiler but it doesn't store the compiled code between sessions. This can add a delay on the first time you call a function. By keeping the REPL open you can avoid having these delays multiple times.

Obviously fundamentals evolve slowly. The data structures, OS, and programming language paradigms I learned 20 years ago can still help me today. In data science, most problems are solved by solid, fundamental stats work and a solid grasp of the scientific method.

The default "memset" should just do what the programmer intended, and there should be a "memset_kinda_maybe" for the current interpretation. I think it's totally busted that users need to guess what way the compiler is going to maul their program.

99% of C/C++ programmers are not bored language lawyers with time to memorize thousand page specs. They use the language because they're pragmatic. Messing up peoples code with incredibly over-eager optimization is the opposite of pragmatism. I'd rather spend a day writing inline assembly for a hot path than two days dealing with the compiler breaking my code and making users data insecure becuase "usually" its ok to ignore a memset.

Kaiser has no specific preventative care requirements and does not withhold care if you are not up to date on some schedule. In fact Kaiser works pretty much exactly like any other HMO with the main difference being that insurance is in-house (but a different department, so insurance screwups still happen, but at least the hospital and the insurance are not constantly fighting each other with you stuck in the middle).

Well that and with Kaiser it's a lot easier to tell who is in network (they never commingle in and out of network care).
I’ve wondered about this a lot. Anime (and many hand drawn animations in general) is typical fairly predictable. Objects, expressions, and even motions are reused frequently.

Shapes are often basic enough that a “vector” graphic could adequately represent their structure (in far fewer bytes).

If there were a way to structure anime into their core components, could we compress the video more like LZMA?
Excellent, thanks for tracking that down.

We’ve had decent success scheduling virtual team lunches and happy hours. We have a few opportunities per week on my team / org to just kinda hang out and not necessarily talk about work. Most people don’t show up regularly but we have a small regular group and the less-frequent visitors drop in every few sessions. I get that some people would rather just do the work, and it’s honestly optional, but some of us do enjoy it as a chance to connect.
My ISP puts everyone behind some sort of NAT, which means I can't reach my home network from elsewhere since I can't open ports. They'd let me buy my own IP address for a monthly fee, but I've found that an old Pi I already had, an autossh-ed reverse shell, SSH forwarding and a cheap cloud instance work just fine for checking sensors and the like, cost less and the cloud instance has other uses, too.
Sorry to jump in so late.

I am not trying to equivocally express that piracy is legal, or morally right, but to respond to "the fact that there is no right/expectation of anyone to be able to view anything" - to answer "Why" someone might do it.

While your sentence was meant in the more strict "human rights" sense I think people pirate because it comes down to "I want to be part of the social group" vs "barrier to experience".

As a society - IE larger overall social group - we have schools, museums, galleries and libraries for access to our culture. We WANT people to gain knowledge of our culture. It provides a social basis and cohesion.

Movie/TV shows clearly aren't fantastic high art but they still serve a social purpose. People make references - or memes - and connect with others over it. It is social lubrication largely associated with a time. For example, Game of Thrones was a social phenomenon but now it is passé.

To say that people can simply never watch any movies or TV shows ever - because there exists no "right/expectation" - is to deny a person being social on some level. You were not advocating this, but leave it up to the powerful vs the powerless and this is where things will tend to go for some of society.

Humans are social creatures.

You could raise your own children with zero experience of any movie or TV shows, and they won't drop dead. But you also know you are not doing them any favours regards socially "fitting in" - so it isn't most people's first choice.

So movies and TV shows are another social signal and people will go out of their way to be included - by simply paying. Or pirating, stealing Netflix DVDs from mailboxes or whatever else.

Fortunately, good libraries ease this social imbalance, but statistically you are always going to find people walking their own line for whatever reason.

But maybe like Jon Snow, I know nothing.

Edit: trying to be more concise. I fail.
It’s hard to be categorical but for me: compilers, mathematical software, autonomous or long-running software, high-performance code, data structure-heavy code.

Some of my former colleagues might try to convince you Lisp is a great choice as a backend language. I agree that it’s a great choice in isolation, but I don’t have tons of experience using other tech to build extensive APIs with tons of layers.

A little more meta, but Lisp can be a great choice if a project can only afford a handful of developers. Lisp can give you the “bang for buck” in terms of code output/productivity and comprehensiveness of the solution to a problem.
Meanwhile, with regards to feedback on a digital Euro:

Footnote 9:

> A thresholded approach could be based on the monetary value of the transaction. For example, low value transaction of less than €1000 could enjoy full privacy as they are unlikely to entail AML high risks. Another possible limitation could cover use outside the Euro area.

> I think it would "only" have to be cycle-accurate between specific events, e.g. access to specific registers.

That’s correct — but one of those events is external interrupts (from the graphics, audio, or cartridge hardware), which complicates things a bit since your “checkpoints” can be anywhere in the code rather than just at a specific set of register accesses.

You could work around this by tracking cycles per-basic-block while running transpiled code, and falling back to cycle-accurate software emulation when you get close to a hardware interrupt.
There is no central court or institution. Trillionaires don’t trust those things. The only absolute control is in themselves. The principal agent problem is not solvable at that level.
"the real issue is that they just dont really do software development. "

No offense, that kind of seems to be your issue, not theirs.

In large orgs if there are 10 'technical but not really dev roles' for ever 2 devs ... that's the reality of the world we live in.

It's maybe 'sad' that we call can't write code, but that's maybe not quite an 'industry' problem.

On the other hand, using giant fragile stacks with a million dependencies and systems that are an 'inherent mess' ... well that's maybe a little bit different and motivation is different because you might be actually wasting your time.

But in reality there is a ton of work to be done and most of it is not glamorous.

I think this take is right in the sense that most consumer-oriented shitware and business CRUD programs are going to be written as web apps from here on out, but I don't really buy that it will completely supplant native software. If you're reading this site, you're probably in tune with the latest hype cycles, and see the world in that lens.

In the same vein as the Dark Matter Developer post that occasionally pops up on here, most of the world's software is Dark Matter Software. Mountains of native software quietly runs the world, completely oblivious to the churn we're discussing. Replacing their functionality with a webapp is either impossible or just not worth it.

I also subscribed to a few sites where I can stream video on topics I'm interested in, and now I have less reason to go on YouTube in the first place. I'm directly supporting some great individuals and organizations and learning a lot. You mentioned that you have a couple creators you really like. You could try following and supporting them directly.

Now, imagine -- they can turn off our finances if you don't comply with exactly what's being suggested. You cannot travel, you must inject yourself with w.e. they want, etc. etc. You must NOT have an abortion if you have X characteristics and you Must have an abortion if you aren't married, etc. Crazy stuff can happen.

The study cited to me in order to defend the point that EVs make more particulate pollution flat out found that EV's create less particulate pollution.

As others already pointed out, that is the same study, the same study that found that EV's create less particulate pollution. The more weight = more particulate emission part did not control for EV regenerative breaking. So your position is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worse.

This will be my last comment here on the account that I will not debate facts with random people on the internet. If you can't be bothered to read the study, don't cite it, don't reference it and for god's sake don't try to use it to say something that is literally the opposite of it's findings.

Lets say Zoom wanted to sell Keybase. Lets say they wanted to sell it to someone like myself, who would run it in a non profit like a utility, similar to Let's Encrypt. Lets say I'd then integrate it with Stripe Identity and gov IDP providers (US: login.gov, UK: gov.uk verify). This would then allow you to publicly sign damn near everything with an identity you could choose to (but not be required to!) connect to your IRL identity.

That sounds what's needed, an extension of your IRL identity with top notch tooling to manage signatures (what PGP/GPG should've been) instead of docusign and similar that are charging an arm and a leg to "sign" PDFs with generated initials and signatures. We could go further; the signature is human readable in the rendered PDF (or whatever), and the Internet Archive takes a snapshot as an oracle notary when published, similar to Certificate Transparency for certs, but for all sorts of digital artifacts (the Internet Archive's snapshots have been used by a court of law for evidence authentication, so it's a trusted system [1]).

Publishers put this DRM in place only as a short-term measure, removing it within a year in almost all cases after the majority of their sales are well gone.

As a Latin American (of Italian heritage!) that moved to the US, I learned this the hard way.

Many times, as an introvert, I sometimes like to be silent myself, even if I'm enjoying the moment. As the article say, this doesn't tend to be a problem in Latin America, because people are always talking over each other (and that's fine!), so anyone keeping quiet works ok.

But in the US, you're expected to talk, so keeping quiet means something is wrong. I finally got tired of people asking "what's wrong? why aren't you saying anything?" (and not understanding when I answer that nothing is wrong and that yes, I'm having a good time). So I started making a point of saying something of no value every now and then, to fill my quota. This seems to make everyone happy.
