I'd say that that's an example of structural or duck typing (as opposed to nominal typing).

In my experience it is nigh impossible to design-pattern your way out of a language simply being unable to express what you need it to express without incurring a severe performance penalty (anathema for game development) or resorting to code generation (which is itself prone to ending up as a Gordian knot).

Excellent post!

Yes, Facebook has found itself wielding power that it could have never imagined. Nobody is prepared or qualified for that kind of power. That's why it took 700 years from the Magna Carta until the US Constitution to formulate a reasonable contract to limit such power.

Now you have the most dangerous combination of all. The two ingredients which when combined has resulted in horrific atrocities.

The paradox of tyranny
1) The desire to make the world a better place
2) The power and means to actually do so
I think you will find in many places of life people are just trying to make a quick buck but in crypto this truth seems to cause a visceral reaction for people.

One of the problems crypto has is that it would be really hard to make a currency that was inflationary and still have any adoption. Bitcoin and others have tried various economic incentives to bring early adopters in and reward them. Is this the best way? Im not sure other coins like NANO have tried to distribute coins early by captcha and this was actually very helpful to people in poorer countries. Ultimately though most of them sold it as soon as they got it and the distribution looks to be about the same as bitcoin and others. Other solutions exist I’m sure but bitcoins decreasing inflation seems to be the best so far if you are making a crypto you want to succeed.

The same logic though could be applied to startups or any business. The first people in do a large amount of the work in helping it grow and are rewarded for that. Maybe too much but that’s hard to quantify.

Also reddit has never been the place to talk about tech. Most of the people buying hardly understand it. If you want to have better conversation they normally have developer channels. And again you could say the same thing about people talking about stocks on reddit.

Edit: a reminder not to downvote just because you disagree. This always happens in crypto threads and really just enforces that you always have the same discourse on them. Sad to see on HN i expect it on sites like reddid.
If asking people to take a specific step that has a good chance of protecting them from disease or even death is “virtue signaling” and therefore evil, the concept has lost any meaning it may or may not have had.

Labeling something “virtue signaling” implies acceptance that the action in question is beneficial. So you agree that getting vaccinated is a good idea, but somehow manage to still take issue with people saying as much in a slightly more direct manner?

Yes, the group of unvaccinated people, making up 99.5% of recent US deaths even though they only represent about 40% of the population is, almost tautologically, in need of protection. Considering the US has, once again, managed to neatly divide into the same ideological camps as on any other issue, there is no obvious selfish motive for people of the one group to care for the other. This leaves the latter group stumped, because they can’t think of any non-selfish motives, forcing them come up with I’ll-defined terms such as “safetyism”.

The term you’re grasping for is “altruism”, by the way. Although I’ll freely admit, limited to me, personally, that it’s supply is running low and I mostly want people to get vaccinated to finally get this over with.
inotify?
Correct! I'm saying FSD only works on 90%-99% of cases, which is currently insufficient to be actually considered FSD. Keyword, currently.

However, I'm NOT stating that this won't ever work. I do believe that FSD will work in the future. Are there risks? For sure. But I'm very optimistic.

I'm trying to communicate that, even with current in-car hardware, this should be sufficient. Why? Cause driving the car with a neural-network is actually quite trivial. Now, training the neural-model is actually REALLY hard. But the training does not happen in the car, car just collects data and sends it to a data center with GPUs that trains the network. If any hardware will need upgrade, is the data center were training happens, not the actual in-car hardware.

Are you really saying that FSD will never work? Cause that's a pretty bold claim.
Bitcoin is deflationary, Ethereum is not. Even with the changes in EIP 1559, that just introduces instability in supply. ETH 2 introduces inflation, which is what made wealth inequality so bad to begin with. People holding assets that outperformed the money made out better than those who didn't have the capability to do anything with their money as it depreciated in their bank accounts as they wait for the inevitable bills to come.

Bitcoin will take care of fiat money, and Ethereum, too. It's solving for the $1 quadrillion dollar problem, and after a few decades or generations, wealth around the planet will begin to be a little more evenly distributed, since even the Bitcoin billionaires will eventually need to spend their Bitcoin.

> That wouldn't be an improvement, tho.

That would be an improvement, surely? Just not one that is good enough...

But at that point we're discussing a much broader problem (or feature, depending on who you ask) with dynamic typing in general, which is different and orthogonal to the problem with implicit conversions that "5"==5 is all about: whether it's an error in the first place or not.

> This is a solved problem in statically typed languages.

It's only a solved problem if you follow the patterns consistently, which many modern languages do not (e.g. look at C# and Java, which have == and Object.Equals() and Equatable, and where collections of equatable items aren't themselves equatable).

But even then, it doesn't really solve the "contains-problem", because the request is ambiguous by the very nature of a collection of references - perhaps you do, in fact, want to check if a reference to an object is present in the collection or not, rather than checking for something that is value-equal. This also goes for comparing whole collections for equality element-by-element etc. All those cases, at the minimum, need a way for the caller to specify which kind of comparison they need. Worse yet, there's no clear default here - both are common - so, ideally, it should always be explicit.

Better question: Full Frame vs APS-C ?

I've read things saying that after accounting for things like focal length and Crop factor that FF doesn't offer higher quality than APS-C. Is there any advantage to FF then?
Here’s how it works:

customer pays an up-front down payment, then pays two years of rent, then either buys the house at full price, or the company keeps the up-front payment, kicks them out, and sells to the highest bidder.

Sorry; I’m calling this one for ‘likely scam’. The reason is the same reason ‘rent-to-own’ is always a scam: price has no memory. Those past rent payments have zero value against a competing bid. Neither does this up-front down-payment, which makes this extra scammy.
I agree most can be used securely, but I can't think of any legitimate use for DES in 2021. The old hash functions obviously have utility in non-secure contexts, but not really symmetric encryption.
I've always had this idea that reputation systems and enforced, systematic gatekeeping might be a way to build stronger communities.

The fundamental issue of any fully open community is scale. From what I've seen, no online community really resists the swarm that comes when it goes viral. Whatever community that was there before, for all it's values and culture, gets replaced by the masses by sheer virtue of numbers.
You have no idea whether that's sufficient hardware for full self driving. Nobody does, because we don't know how to make it happen. We can't even prove that it's doable short of AGI.

So what's wrong with the statement is it fits a pattern of statements with reckless disregard for the truth.

Viral load refers to quantity of viral particles, not weight. A greater viral load suggests faster replication, which can be consequential to disease progression; and it also suggests easier transmission as transmission probability tends to be a function of number of viral particles shed (among other characteristics).
Not long ago I realized there's a whole bunch of stuff I just "make up" about the world.

The "me" part of my brain knows I blink. I know I'm blind, but I don't remember it at all. Turns out it's actually worse thanks to being blind while my eyes rotate in their sockets. "saccades".

There's some machinery grinding away all the time, making up little stories about the world to maintain a consistent view. I spent, and continue to spend, a lot of time wondering where else I'm blind.

The snake thing is cool. I know I have some hardwired reflexes around heat and pain. I can't think of a case where I've exercised the "hidden monster" reflex, but I believe you, and I probably have it, or something like it.

Nothing about this applies anymore

Although Apple’s contribution to making RAW a seamless workflow only occurred one year ago, coinciding with the iOS 14 update

I’m sure some Android devices natively shoot raw without an additional app for 5 years

Apple also contributed to the working group to update the protocol and format

The point being that its even more streamlined to shoot and edit and share Raw now even without bulky camera hardware

Something that's occurred to me is that radio is a bit more than a century old, and at the present time, we are still using EM radiation, but a huge portion of our data bandwidth is being transported along enclosed waveguides, i.e., fiber optics, and transmission lines that have no long range dipole, such as coaxial and twisted pair cable. The net bandwidth of our open-air comms has increased by orders of magnitude, but all the while being designed to operate at ever lower power levels using modulation strategies that increasingly resemble noise, using antennas that avoid radiating into space for the sake of power savings. It could be that our civilization had a 1-2 century time window for being detectable from afar, before we effectively go dark.

A superior method of communication might be a robot that, while it can't travel as fast, can engage in much more elaborate communication when it reaches its destination, e.g., carrying out trade, negotiations, cultural exchange, whatever. Also, the energy delivered by a robot, if it can steer itself to its destination, is not subject to the inverse square law of intensity. We have sent robots to visit the planets, because there's a limit to what we can learn by interrogating them with telescopes and antennas from Earth.

Speaking of smoke signals, we may be inadvertently communicating our presence by the rapid change of the chemical composition of our atmosphere. Aliens equipped with a sufficiently sensitive spectrometer could scan the heavens for unusual chemical activity on known planets.
I think you've hit the nail on the head.

The Battery-Solar-Car angle is such an obvious integration for Tesla. I guess on paper it is frustrating it was a family connection, but their alternative was for Tesla to start building their own Solar capability when they had a significant stake in one already.

Hey Tyler, this is really nice to go through. I just heard your podcast (1). I do not know of X-Plane.

I want to ask: do you share the nearest-region data to all planes within a region only for informational purpose or is there a crash possibility and you take planes out of the simulation, etc.?

I mean like in other MMO games, can players hurt each other and that information actually affects other client apps? That is where, I feel (I am new to this too), the global state mutations become more expensive right?

I think governments outsourcing software development is fairly common? I've worked on a government (intranet) site in the past as a contractor, we didn't add any branding so nobody would know who the developer is unless they did a FOIA request. Though I don't know if the lack of branding is due to design choice or contractual requirements.

They already have experience creating tax software so it seems like an obvious choice to outsource to.
This.

Writing is half the battle—it is a significant hurdle and not everyone can write a great technical book.

But the other half (and I struggle with this mightily) is sales/marketing (and the whole 'business' side). Making it look pretty, getting people to know it exists, promoting it.

Many of the best technical writers I know are not great at the latter, and for them, self-publishing might not be the best approach.

I'd add, we can be more specific about what a "case" is. I'd say, a trip might describe this better. As in, 90-99% of trips FSD Beta 9 will take you there without interventions. That's still lame, but still quite impressive. Achieving 90-99% accuracy on trips still seemed impossible one year ago, I don't think that's the case anymore. The remaining risk is, how fast can this improve between 99% to 99.9% and then to 99.99%, etc.
I've never heard this as an acronym, but I use it in practice! For me, it's an extension of "three or more, use a for" that made sense for all repetition and not just loops.

But that just becomes a copyright dispute with the country. The only thing preventing Microsoft from just not showing up to your court case is that they have presence there and want to continue doing business in the country. Imagine you write a project and some solo developer in the U.S. (that's not Microsoft) violates your copyright - the only way you would get damages or injunctive relief is by suing them in the U.S. or hoping the U.K. passes a judgement on them and extradites or sanctions them. If they never plan to go to the U.K. and the U.K. doesn't extradite them for nonpayment or noncompliance of whatever judgement you have against them, there's not really much you can do.
