I happen to do beverage production for a living now. I know exactly where they come from and how many are made. There’s nothing to be scared of.

The FDA has a list of things you can call “natural flavor”. They are essentially all extracts, mostly refined through distillations.

I’ll give you an example: blueberry. Industrial juice is typically concentrated by vacuum distillation. It had to be shipped frozen, and that’s very expensive, so it’s cheaper to remove the water.

The first stuff that comes off of that is called essence and has a delightful blueberry flavor. It doesnt taste exactly like blueberry but it’s recognizable and highly potent.

A couple drops of that flavor your entire can.

You can actually buy them directly from a couple flavor houses (most are wholesale only but not all) in small quantities. Check out Silver Cloud Flavors. I have carbonated water on draft and just add them in rather than buying cans anymore.
Having human drivers and assisted drivers on the same road is problematic currently.

I think the best situation would be to have 'automated' stretches of highway specially designed to 'help' self driving systems.

Only self driving vehicles would be allowed on such special highways, and everything would be built around such systems.
I can't bring myself to believe that an external caching layer is absolutely required to handle the load from something like a hacker news front page. WordPress with no caching I can see being taken down by 10 to 20 requests per second, but any kind of local caching should be able to handle the load easily. Does HN produce more traffic than that?

Its a different discussion, quite off topic. When the boomers go into retirement, our current economic system with GDP growth focus has a big problem. Our system is based on produce more stuff and buy more stuff. But when the boomers retire, they will buy less stuff. Who will buy supply overhang? Nobody. Even worse, who will pay for the debt incurred to buy overly inflated asset prices, like housing and factories, when boomers start downsizing and start selling?

Look at Japan. They are 10 years ahead of us. It will be tough and depressing until the economic system adapted and prices normalized. On an opitmistic point, humanity will progress and when an economy cannot sell more stuff then it has to sell better stuff.
Same! That's why we can make these observations.

>Russia put out bounties on US soldiers

That was BS. It's amazing what you find out when people are actually under oath. It was likely an intelligence "leak" to keep us in Afghanistan. These are the same organizations that tried successfully to convince us of "WMDs." I'm not sure why people continue take what they say at face value anymore, especially the news.

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

The Department of Defense (DOD), in testimony in July 2020 to the House Armed Services Committee by General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defense Secretary Mark Esper, said that U.S. defense intelligence agencies had no information to corroborate reports of a Russian bounty program in Afghanistan[37] and lacked evidence of "cause and effect linkages to a Russian bounty program causing U.S. Military casualties."[5][38]

Citing credible unnamed sources, on June 26, 2020, The New York Times reported on a Russian military program to pay bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing American soldiers in Afghanistan.[17] Two days later, The Washington Post reported that the bounty program had resulted in the death of at least one U.S. soldier.[16]

I was the lead developer for a custom CMS platform for a small company and literally sat in the newsroom with the reporters and worked with them on a daily basis. When I first started working for the company, it was directly after Hurricane Katrina and I did work directly FOR the paper as well as dev work because the COO had yet to justify to the CEO why they needed a full time developer, much less a team. The hours were long and the work sucked but I was hourly and got to experience their work habits and schedule.
Requiring people to buy a special car/system to be able to drive doesn't seem like an incentive - it seems similar to the interlock system we currently require drunk drivers to purchase to be able to drive.

If anything a driver monitoring system seems even better than the interlock system, for example you couldn't have your kids/friends blow for you to bypass it.

Germany and Japan were occupied (excluding the post-1955 nominal occupation of Germany because the Cold War prevented agreement on a formal end) for less time than Afghanistan when you add them together. To the extent something worked there but not in Afghanistan, it had nothing to do with it taking “generations”.

> given that chicken is mostly tasteless

This is a huge misunderstanding. Chickens only are tasteless if you are eating tasteless chickens.

Despite cooking it the same way, the Kampong chicken in Malaysia tastes very different from the chicken served in an osteria chilometro zero in rural Italy, which once again is distinct from the HuNan mountain chickens found in rural China.

And don't get me started on chicken in the Kyoto countryside, which was one of the most surprising things in my trip to Japan. Never knew chicken can taste like that.

Extremely worthwhile question, long overdue.

Productivity, especially in relevant areas like administration, stagnated despite computers hitting every desk. I read the Cowen book (Complacent Class) at the same time I was reader Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs." Heterodox writers from both sides of the spectrum. Same observation.

On the face of it, it doesn't make sense. How could, for example, a local college's administration not have become more efficient because of computers?

A factory's productivity, which has legible inputs and outputs is really different to something which doesn't.

Software is management technology, perhaps, but only in cases that management technology is pretty efficient already. Modern warehouses, ports and stuff are more productive because of software. But, they we already pretty efficient. They already had pretty well formalized, legible processes.

That said, software is also a tool. Say your job is to receive applications, payments or such. You process them. File. Respond. Software is undeniably a good tool for such things. We can't abstract that away by looking at the top level trends. It is a productivity tool for administrative tasks. Top line trends don't suggest a productivity gain, but I'm not willing to conclude that software is not an administrative tool.

On the face of it, banks, universities, government departments, the legal sector, accounting, perhaps the whole finance sector are bigger today, not smaller. They have computers now, which are productivity tools. WTF is going on?

Do we have more justice, better records? What is "productivity" anyway, outside of legible productivity like a factory's?
I just read about that after your post. Even with the typical lawyer hyperbole it's pretty bad.

It seems to me that Tesla door handles (in a world where they've been designing door latches for some time) are just plain ridiculous and likely unreliable but are a side effect of the market the company has been selling into. Gadgets go a long way with Tesla owners.

Obviously, things like a latch should not only work under all conditions including no-power, but they should probably be the same under all conditions. 'Emergency' latches aren't going to be used during an emergency as muscle memory is too important.
I disagree. I would not put people who shoved poor judgment in situation, where they can further hurt other or themselves it. People like that are more likely not to pay attention and do other irresponsible things.

I'm omnivorous, but I'm investing in this kind of companies. From my perspective this is a future with less suffering and more sustainability. Those things are important drivers of my mental health, and also eating less antibiotics sounds like a good idea.

I did semi-recently re-write an amazing collision detection technique I found by myself and used around 1991 (it was fast and flawless) and I even wrote some (Clojure, whatever) code to create "nice looking images" to explain visually the technique. I even started working on the blog post but...

You're literally describing how the Tesla system works. It requires you to keep your hand on the wheel and apply a slight pressure every so often. The cabin camera watches the driver and if they're looking down or at their phone, it does that much more often.

People causing these problems almost certainly are putting something over the cabin camera and a defeat device on the steering wheel.
You’re completely overlooking how unprepared Afghans are for secular democracy. Germany and Japan had well developed states before World War II. Afghanistan had never been more than a pastoral tribal society. They’re hundreds of years of development away from the democracy we tried to impose on them.

>Once full self driving is statistically safer than humans how will you not let people use it?

I'm fine with self-driving if/when it works (though I'm pretty sure from watching FSD Beta videos shot and edited by their biggest fans with a few interventions every 5 minutes, this is many many many years away for Tesla). But the company selling the self driving has to be responsible to some degree for the mistakes it makes.

Teachers/Professors always pretend that you can find it, eg. you get it as a homework. And it works that way, yes, kind of - as an excercise and for "relatively simple" challenges. But for tough problems it's a "memorization of the solution challenge" and not one where you lose too much time trying to figure them out. This particular one makes it pretty obvious as well: Even understanding the solution is a challenge.

A few nits to pick as a woodworker:

1) You never save money building it yourself (at least not in comparison to a standard consumer option, like a chair or table from your local furniture store. This may hold up if you compare what you build to high-end hardwood furniture. But with the cost of tools, you're probably still losing money if this is just a hobby)

2) 90% of my enjoyment of woodworking is just being in my shop working. The results are almost secondary. It's a hobby for a reason.

3) I know professional woodworkers and they definitely do not spend most of their time building organization. They buy anything that will speed up production. I can spend 6 months building a dream workbench, they'll go to Benchcrafted and just buy one.
In a plane you also have far more time to react once the autopilot disconnects for whatever reason, than the fraction of a second that a car gives you.
What would such an AI even look like? If it spots every real danger but also hallucinates even a few dangers that aren’t really there, it gets ignored or switched off for needlessly slowing the traveler down (false positives, apparently an issue with early Google examples [0]); if it only spots real dangers but misses most of them, it is not helping (false negatives, even worse if a human is blindly assuming the machine knows best and what happened with e.g. Uber [1]); if it’s about the same as humans overall but makes different types of mistake, people rely on it right up until it crashes then go apoplectic because it didn’t see something any human would consider obvious (e.g. Tesla, which gets slightly safer when the AI is active, but people keep showing the AI getting confused about things that they consider obvious [2]).

>If it was an advanced civilization, they would have left plenty of tools and artifacts behind, but they didn't.

That's not how history works, most things get recycled or burned. Tools are taken with the craftsman, and usually end up rusting in a basement or garage, these days. Who made the Antikythera mechanism? Where are their tools? Who made the Hoover dam? Why aren't there tools littered all over the site?

Is it really a stretch to think that a large systemic crash could set civilization back a bit, like the dark ages? Or the supply chains after a virus spread across the world?
Are they active contributors as part of that department - or despite also being there?

Every car with adaptive cruise has similar disclaimer, pointing how unreliable system is recognizing parked vehicles [1]:

Safety Consideration When Using Adaptive Cruise Control

• The system can only brake so much. Your complete attention is always required while driving.

• Adaptive Cruise Control does not steer your vehicle. You must always be in control of vehicle steering.

• The system may not react to parked, stopped or slow-moving vehicles. You should always be ready to take action and apply the brakes.

In my experience, Low Code tries to fix the non-problem and makes the real problem worse. They will get you up to speed fast, but with a much lower output plateau than normal programming tools. Some experience from one low code tool I used this year:

Non-problem: Writing code. This is the easy part. COBOL took typists, gave them a week of courses, which made them successful basic coders. Low code helps the most basic junior but slows down the average coder by forcing everything trough drag and drop.

Problem: Reading code. Most low code platforms I've seen show you only a small part of the code, needing a lot of clicking around in a GUI to make sure you found it all.
It either transform it in a mess of arrows and boxes or spread it out so wide you spend more time scrolling than reading. I've found myself reading the XML dumps of our current tool just to spare me some time.

Problem: One size fits all. You can't polish or finetune the standard components. What you see is what you get. This guarantees you both a minimum and a maximum level of quality. Yes, there are escape hatches. No, they won't help you. You will make parts of your program unstable or less user friendly because your low-code vendor didn't foresee all of your needs.

Problem: Versioning. Boxes and arrows don't merge well. There is generally only a small team working on 1 piece of code. You can't scale it past 3-4 people. Also, emergency fixes in prod don't easily propagate back to dev, especially in a high-stress situations. You'll have to do it manually. This almost guarantees regression bugs.

Problem: Searching code. If you have enough code, the day comes where you'll need to find all references to something. I've grepped code bases of >10 000 000 lines. Can't do it in more than the most limited way with low code.

Problem: knowledge exchange. Something like stack exchange works because you can type text. Print screen is the only option available in most low code tools.

As the saying goes, the core of ICT is not programming but Information and Communication. If you want to make programmers obsolete, you need tools that help you organize information and ease communication.

Low code is simply the wrong way to look at the problem. it ends up throwing tons of man-hours at a problem. In the long term, it creates more programmer jobs, not less.
