I agree. You have to have a product before you have a brand. The customer's experience with the product is the "brand experience." The meaning of brand is very literal; it was burned into a cow so you'd know whose cow it was. It's not the symbol that matters. It's the cow.
Yeah, that is frustrating since there are no platforms where that would fail today, and it's hard to imagine why we would ever want one with 256bit pointers.

We don't even use full 64bit pointers today on x64.
> The roads should preferably be motorways or express roads (unless traffic density is low so that there is no congestion on an ordinary road).

That sounds more similar to the US Numbered Highway system than it is to the Interstate Highway System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Numbered_Highway...

The Interstate Highway System is a different system - entirely controlled-access motorways, with a minimum of 4 lanes, divided, and no at-grade crossings.

If we're discussing this from a "best interest" standpoint, then the studio is no longer obtaining revenue if it's being asked to delete all the content of a specific person on its own sites and thus any obligations of keeping content out of reach from other service providers cease. It's not in the studio's best interests to spend money litigating or issuing DMCA notices on behalf of a former associate.

I suspect there's a level of vicariousness for some fans, some shade of "He's a nerd like me - it could have been me if I caught a lucky break. Hell, I can still be something like him if I found/get RSUs in a rocketship SaaS startup and have multiple recurring successes after that".

In 2006 PayPal tried to deduct ~$500 dozens of times in a 48 hour period due to what was obviously a software bug. This resulted in me being overdrawn by around $900. No matter who I spoke to on the phone with Bank of America, nor which branch manager I met with in person, nobody could do anything to help me.

The most I accomplished was having a branch manager agree to waive 1 overdraft fee since I had never overdrafted my account before.

PayPal was even less helpful.

If I enable overdraft protection with my current bank (Wells Fargo) then they will charge me something like $17 to transfer money from my savings account to cover a charge that my primary account wouldn't have enough funds to cover.

This was a good reminder that I need to switch banks. Maybe I can find a good Credit Union in my area.
You don't need to do that. Rust editions are fully backwards-compatible, since they can depend on code from different editions.
Oof. I have no idea. But since it'll be fun to guess:

Absent some kind of magical (from today's POV) AGI, I think I'd probably say yes, but I'm not sure that means software engineering will continue to look the way it does today, at least not universally.

My expectation is a pretty linear extrapolation of history. I think new tools and higher levels of abstraction will emerge that will make certain types of tasks unnecessary or a lot faster. We'll still need people working on compilers and embedded software, but a lot of really basic forms of software development (think Excel replacements) will be A LOT faster and easier to do.

Fundamentally, though, business problems are really fucking specific, and you need a really fucking specific language to express and solve those problems. The process of applying those languages to problems is a creative one. I don't think this dynamic will change for a really long time, if ever.
"I think actually solving some of the problems weighing on your mind should absolutely be part of your toolbox."

Yes, after meditation. I love your analogy of "garbage collection". For me, it's like flipping over playing cards, becoming interested in each card, and then remembering that I don't need to get fixated, and then discarding that card and returning to focus on my breathing, only to forget and flip over another card. Eventually, I spend less time flipping over cards and more time just sitting without judgement.

I am a lapsed meditator, and I will resolve to get back into it. Meditation helps me to remember who I am and what I really want.
Green energy project in the western US, on ancestral tribal land so we were advised to keep our eyes out for historical sites, and to let tribal advisors/inspectors know if we found any.

Well, we (my group was a subcontractor, and some of the first out pioneering through new areas) found some ancient hunting blinds on either side of a saddle through a ridge, complete with trash pits/stone knapping shards and even some paintings on the walls. We advised the General Contractor as the tribal rep wasn't onsite that day. The GC told us to forget what we saw and they'd send a bulldozer over to wipe out the site, as the blinds were right in the planned route of an access road and they didn't want the hassle of a redesign.

Hell to the no, we got hold of the tribal rep outside the chain of command and let them know what was up. They rushed to the site issued a very stern stop work order (either you stop your equipment so we can assess this find, or you will load your shit up and get off our land) and went through the proper processes. A realignment of the road did happen, and the GC got annoyed at us, but fuck them.

Later, the same tribal inspector gifted my boss with a hand-knapped obsidian spear head as thanks.

It's not just whether peoples' lives improved. It's also how much they expected their lives to improve. If capitalism made life 10% better, that's good. If they expected capitalism to make life 500% better, then 10% isn't so good. And if they look around and see people whose lives are now 500% better, then the resentment is pretty natural.

It's not just that we (the EU, or even the West) let them switch to capitalism without a proper welfare system. We let them without giving them a government that knew how to run a capitalist country (because we didn't give them a government at all). But we let them have the expectations of a functioning Western government, instead of the expectations of a transitioning country that didn't really know how to do either democracy or capitalism.

It worked out pretty well for Germany and Japan to be conquered, and have the US spend a decade showing them how to do both democracy and capitalism. Just saying "Welcome to capitalism and democracy! Glad you're here!" turns out not so well. (The problem, of course, is that when you aren't a conqueror, the country doesn't want you to run it. And when you're fighting against the "evil colonialists" meme anyway, taking over is a really bad look, whether or not the results would be better in the long run.)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I just finished a COBOL contract for a FOREX broker like 3 weeks ago so that inspired this video. It's a really cool niche actually.
Just in case there is a confusion: there is a difference between available sequences (~300 million in standard protein sequence repositories) and structures (~170k structures in the PDB, perhaps about ~120k that are structurally non-redundant). A large amount of CASP14 targets have no available templates; in fact, many of them represented previously unseen topologies. However, all of them had some (in most cases, many) available sequences.

The commonly accepted definition of homology modelling implies using a known structure ("template") as a scaffold to model the protein's topology. Since there are many CASP14 targets without appropriate templates, AlphaFold 2 simply cannot "just do homology modelling".

I do take the point that the correct term is "free modelling" (it does not have, or does not use, any good structure as a template), and not "ab initio modelling" (it uses physics to fold the protein), though. A deep enough MSA is generally a requirement.
> Many estimates are talking about 1/3 of the entire useful observational time being discarded at many critical instruments, for only one mega-constellation of the Starlink size.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschede_derailment

This is pretty much the worst-case kind of derailment: the train derailed mid-switch, causing half the train to go down one track and the other half to go the other track. The sideways car then crashed into the immediately adjacent road pillar, destroying the car and the road on top of it. The rest of the train then plowed into the carnage and folded up like an accordion.

Total death count: 101, of 286 passengers.

An A380 will carry more passengers (500-600, I think), and a typical plane crash will have a much higher death train.
Mindfulness is a category of meditation, which has been somewhat bastardized in the West. Most Buddhist practices incorporate both mindfulness and focus-oriented types of meditation.
I think it's pretty underwhelming and then is further diminished because it feels so much like Bezos and Branson just spending their obscene amounts of money to notch a win in this billionaire one upmanship game. First there was Bezos's Blue Origin crowing about their early launch and land success vs SpaceX like they were in a similar league of difficulty. Then with this you have Virgin Galactic coming out of seeming corporate catatonia so Brandon could rush out this first ahead of Bezos. I hadn't heard anything about SpaceShip One for what feels like years before this stunt.

Also yeah they do also just barely make it to what the US had somewhat arbitrarily defined as space in the case of Branson's company.

Cargo-UI, a GUI for Cargo
Yes, it is the type of thing caught by a linter or strict compilation rules.

https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/cppcoreguidel...

But strict compilation rules (eg, clang's -Weverything) mainly only work if you treat them as errors (so -Werror), and then some of those strict are then also questionable at best, and just outright annoyingly wrong at worst. For example, unused parameter warnings on virtual methods are a waste of time to deal with. It's not a symptom of a bug most of the time, so it being an error just generates workaround churn or you end up just disabling the warning and then maybe that bites you the few times it would have pointed out an actual issue.

Beyond the blanket ones like clang's -Weverything, it can otherwise be a job to keep up with compiler upgrades and the vast number of warning options they have.

This topic is pretty well studied and discussed elsewhere, often in the context of antitrust. The Google-able phrase would probably be "bundling vs unbundling" or similar. It's not _always_ the case that a bundled product is cheaper, though, as you point out, often it is.

There are many lawyers representing companies accused of monopolistic behavior who would be on your side of this discussion.

And you ask the majority of Americans, and they don't give two shits about the market.

What they're interested in is cash flow, does the income from labor meet their needs, can they feed their kids so on and so forth.

Just like in the 2008 recovery period, lots of people proclaimed we were back that it was over we're in recovery, meanwhile way more Americans than we would like to admit I didn't really have a recovery, they just settled into a new worse higher cost higher risk normal.

It's certainly annoying. I wonder how many anti-metric-system types would change their minds if they realized how much easier the metric system is to learn and work with - everything is just a power 10. So much easier for grade school children to learn.
oh, so like Apple, but for the B2B space?
Yeah ftp support should be backed in the operating system. In KDE, it's simple to open an ftp link in Dolphin as if it was a local folder and I think it's the same for GNOME, but I have no idea about if it's possible in macOS and windows.
Especially because "The FTP protocol itself has been disabled by default since version 88", so any user that hadn't opted in to FTP protocol already had the "benefit" of the "security enhancement", no?

But, hey, if you are not yet a FF user, here's where you can download it, in case you're looking for a browser that... lacks FTP support. Something many users are likely to be seeking out.
Yeah, which is a good step forward, but it's definitely not usable yet in my experience. There is definitely a vibe of "why would anyone want to use anything other than Go" in the community. (I actually really like IPFS, I just wish that it fitted into the standard Unix Dec environment a bit better).
“Sam Harris never warned me about this!”
High speed rail isn't for commuters - certainly not daily ones. You need cities appropriate distance apart that can occupy the tracks at a decent rate (so 1000 passengers at 20tph). Commuter trains barely need to go much above 200, maybe 250kph.

If you can supply say 20,000 passengers a hour for 15 hours a day - 300,000 passengers a day - then you just need the population centres.

A 600kph maglev from New York to LA would take 7.5 hours. A flight takes 5.5 hours, so not much in it, especially if it were downtown to downtown.

For New York to Chicago it would take about 2h10, same as a plane.

Unlikely to provide 300k passengers, but if you added branches at each end and were routed Boston, NY, Washington branches meeting in western PA, then heading to Chicago (meeting a Toronto branch perhaps), Denver, Vegas then at the Western end splitting to LA, San Diego, Phoenix, San Francisco you might be able to occupy the bulk of the route tracks enough.

Crucially you don't need to stop every train at every stop, as that adds big time penalties.

Of course you're talking 6000km of maglev track minimum, and maglev means you can't just run it on traditional lines for the last 10 miles into the city.
> I interpret the author’s difficulties and frustration as a byproduct of a particular misapprehension of Buddhist teachings in modern society.

I interpret his difficulties as an experience of how the brain is an organ and has physiological responses we’re not often prepared for.

Most people would agree that going on a retreat where you run 20 miles a day would have adverse consequences for your body.

Yet the same kind of workout for your brain doesn’t garner the same respect or caution.

Perhaps the dogma/teachings of Buddhism prepare people for these things better than Western adoption of mediation practices, but to me they don’t get to the heart of the matter, which is true understanding of the brain. Just like kosher practices protected people from disease before the germ theory was understood.

Ultimately until we accept that our brain is a physical organ, that self does not stand apart from body, our mental health as a society is going suffer.
It's perhaps worth noting that Starlink is about much more than network access in remote areas. The laser links between satalites should enable a considerable improvement in intercontinental transmission, both bandwidth and latency.
The Florida Turnpike system is the most amazing road I've ever been on. It's 309 miles with incredible Service Plazas that contain separate areas for trucks and cars, a gas station, sparkling restrooms with attendants (and sponsorships), branded restaurants, convenience stores, etc. All of this is open 24 hours, patrolled by lots of cops, road assistance services, etc.

While not part of the Interstate system, it's of course connected. The road is quite expensive and the tolls make so much money for the State of Florida that they don't need to charge income tax or corporate tax. Pretty amazing.
This isn't just Starlink. Of course, hopefully Starlink's satellites will adhere more closely to the agreed threshold in the future, but that isn't set in stone, and once this becomes a profitable industry it seems unlikely corners won't be cut and lawmakers lobbied like in any other sector.

Of course, even meeting the agreed threshold currently still renders them visible in telescopes, and that applies to amateurs as well.

One thing I noticed about "Efficient Market Theory" is that it is unfalsifiable. It isn't a scientific theory and it also cannot be proved true or false, only useful when convenient. It relies on magic, rationality, and the assumption of omniscience by large investment banks.
