> As others have said, I don't really get the fascination with LaTeX

LaTex is really powerful when you get to a certain point, but unless you’ve tinkered with it until you reach that point, it’s a PITA.

To me the number 1 advantage is that I can easily keep updated various versions of the CV, because by working at startups I’ve always have to wear a lot of hats. I keep a more ‘hardware oriented’ CV, another more ‘software oriented’ CV, and I added a more “management” version that showcases better team leadership instead on focusing on the tech stack.

It’s also very handy to keep everything as text documents when you are asked to submit to different webforms, and being able to adjust things like quality vs pdf size is important when submitting your CV in some places

That’s a feature accommodating realities of driving on public roads, not a bug.

If you drive on a 60mph speed limit highway, no one is driving 60mph, everyone is going around 70mph. If you decide to use autopilot and it limits you to 60mph, you singlehandedly start disrupting the flow of traffic (that goes 70mph) and end up becoming an increased danger to yourself and others.

Not even mentioning cases when the speed limits change overnight or the map data is outdated or if a physical sign is unreadable.
It's really hard to have a discussion about this topic without having a scoped definition of marketing for the purpose of discourse, and defining it such that "everything is marketing" isn't very interesting. Everyone keeps talking past each other as long as someone takes ads and promotional materials for marketing while the next commenter considers pricing and placement to be marketing. The point of the original article is going to be 100% missed and is impossible to engage with if "cookie box on grocery store shelf costs 1.3 units of money" is taken to be marketing in the same sense as what they are talking about. Next you might as well define "respond" to mean "have neurons fire in response to a sensory input."

Unfortunately this same thing happens every time when the topic is discussed on HN.

Looks like a previous version was mostly a Clojure DSL, but the latest major version no longer is. There are variables and other useful features we know from other programming languages that aren't mentioned on the landing page.

Of course there are also varying definitions of what a programming language is. For instance, I consider CSS to be a programming language, but I know many people disagree with that position (and that's okay). I personally don't think that a "programming language" must be a general-purpose, turing-complete language. Alda seems to be a non-general purpose, turing-incomplete language. At this point though, we're maybe getting into semantics a bit.

I've become slightly fascinated by Edinburgh of the Seven Seas [0], the most remote permanent settlement on earth. Who lives there? What do they do? What is life like?

Holy crap, I haven't heard that name for a long long time. I played the heck out of M.A.X. back in the day. I'll check maxr out!
Exactly. It frees the driver from increasingly advanced levels of mundane driving (cruise control manages just speed, adaptive cruise also deals with following distance, lane keeping deals with most of the steering input, etc) allowing the driver to focus more on monitoring the situation and strategic portion of driving rather than the tactical. Of course, this relies on the driver to actually do that. They could just use devote that extra attention to their phone.
In my experience, this is not a general Walmart policy, it is store-specific. Not too long ago I was looking for a product that only Walmart seems to keep in stock, but they don't keep much of it. And their online system is not very accurate. So in the space of two hours I visited four different Walmarts, ranging from one in a nicer area of town, to one in a poor area. Security was nonexistent at the first Walmart. The store was relaxed, there were plenty of associates, they were helpful, etc. The store was actually pretty nice, the only thing out of place was the weirdly low prices compared to any other store in that area. At the other end of the scale, the store in the poor area (which is also majority black, whether or not this is actually a factor in their behavior I can only speculate) had a half dozen security cars in the parking lot with their little flashing yellow lights. Gates at the entrance manned with security personnel, uniformed security inside the store. And the icing on the cake? They were checking 9 out of 10 people's bags on the way out of the store, sort of like Costco. Except me. Waived me right on through. Because I'm not black? I have no idea. But it sure did weird me out.
Surprising that these tactics did not work.
It goes both ways.

No you really can’t understand a culture from a week of study the same way you can from being there for a week. The issue is the millions of unknown unknowns that you never really consider. How large is people’s personal space, where do they stand and look in an elevator, what’s traffic like, how loud are people, etc etc. Of course a week or three isn’t that long, but there are real diminishing returns here.

On the other hand personal experience is very narrow in scope. You’re never going to find out country wide crime rates by wondering around for a week.
I use .lan and will continue to do so. .home.arpa is fine for 1 lan, but if you want to connect to multiple lans, it no longer works well. Add to the fact the amount of typing. .lan should be reserved so that people can use it for addressing multiple local area networks. We already have .local for mDNS which is perfect for the single lan setup. If they won't do it de jure, then users like myself will make this standard de facto.

Uber does have partnerships through which they offer expense tracking apps to their drivers.
The people behind Iraq invasion were all part of 'Project for a New American Century' which promoted 'Pax Americana' in the Middle East, i.e. a stabilizing occupying force, probably the overthrow of Iraq and Syria.

They envisioned Iraq being a little more like Gulf States i.e. more stable, allies, and a buffer between Israel/Iran/Saudi Arabia.

And some nice construction contracts for Bechtel.

And a geostrategic signal of power.

The WMD thing was a populist narrative justification, the real motivation is literally published for all to see, it's just not what the media war was fought over.

Nobody ever fought a war for purely altruistic motives, it's unlikely the Americans were to have joined WW2 unless they were at risk themselves, but that doesn't mean there can't be motives and actions that are better than others.

Weirdly, the justification for Iraq I think would have been entirely function of historical revisionism given the success or failure. If Iraq was more stable and prosperous then 'it was the right thing to do', if the invasion was a failure, then it 'was a mistake' and that's it. Iraq has $5K/USD per capita GDP now, it has a government, elections, there's progress. Iran has a lot of control and of course Kurds are doing their own thing, but there is baseline order. 'Was It Worth It?' is another question, maybe in 50 years we can understand definitively what the real cost of finally getting rid of a Saddam-like institution was.

As the article suggests, the CEO never actually thought they could pull off self-driving cars. That was part of the shell game that is Uber.
I'm vegan, and I'm on board with lab-grown meat. Or at least, I don't have any ethical issues with it, provided the energy costs are not insane.

That said...after six years of being vegan and maybe another six (I think?) as vegetarian before that, at this point I've found plenty of other dishes that don't involve meat. I really don't crave meat, and I really don't feel like it's missing in the dishes I make. So while I'm on board with lab-grown meat, and will try it when it's available, I'm really not the target market. I agree with you that the big question is how appealing it will be to meat-eaters. But I presume they've done their market research on that.
Tesla’s Autopilot faces US investigation after crashes with emergency vehicles
It's impossible to be absolutely rational. I feel like there is so many different levels and viewpoints that there is no right answer.

Simple example:

Let's say the same pair of shoes is available in two different shops, but in one shop it's more expensive. It seem more rational to buy it in the cheaper shop. However, what if you've heard that the cheaper shop is very unethical in how it conducts the business. Is it still more rational to buy the shoes there?

And then you might also start considering this situation "in the grand scheme of things" - in the grand scheme of things does it make any difference if I buy it in shop A or B?

And at which point does it become irrational to be overthinking simple things in order to try to be rational? What if trying to always be rational is stressing you out, and turns out to be worse in the long run?
Often they are not entirely personal in that they wrote the code using 20% time (so this is code paid for by Google) and use them as part of their job and/or make them available to other users internally. So Zx might be used inside Google somewhere.

Since they started out owned by Google, you need permission to open source them.

But how much company support they have and how popular they are varies.

You know, those who can’t talk always throw shade at those who can. It’s a talent like everything else.

To the OP, some people are talented talkers. I don’t recommend competing against it and instead find where your talent lay instead and focus on that. The same way you can spot a talented talker, they too will spot where you are talented.
I usually try to avoid using idioms in a group setting, or with people I don't know very well. I also usually cringe when people use them. That said, I do find them useful in private conversations. For example, in candid conversations with my manager I might say "Hey Boss, I think we've got a lot of bike shedding going on; folks on the team are eager to help, but they're attacking problems that they know how to solve first, not the problems that represent the biggest timeline risk." or I might say "Hey Boss, I know it looks like we're all off in the weeds on this project, but there's a lot of necessary Yak Shaving going on - I'd be happy to dig into some specifics/details if you like." ~ In private conversations with people you know/trust, some of these idioms are convenient shorthand.

Home Depot does this now, and it's starting to alienate me. They are conveniently located, but in various places in the stores (presumably in the areas where commonly shoplifted products are kept), they have cameras with screens and as you walk by they ding at you so you'll notice they are recording.

I don't like getting treated that way, so I've started shopping more often at Lowes, even though it takes a couple minutes longer to get there.
They were presumably not referring to NPR specifically, but to public-service broadcasters in general, like ARD and ZDF in Germany, BBC in Britain, ORF in Austria, RAI in Italy, and so on.
People have already paid for an actual trademark. Why should they pay again, to a private company?

Your argument is essentially identical to the arguments usually made to explain why EV certificates are expensive, and nobody is buying those.
I feel like driver monitoring can keep it safe, and should even be available without autopilot enabled.

Comma.ai makes the monitoring more strict when the system is less certain or when in denser traffic.

I’ve been beta testing this and I can honestly say that I love it! I don’t use too many web apps (except Notion) but still usually have about 50 tabs open on safari. With sigma, I’ve been able to organise all these tabs in different workspaces because I work on a lot of different projects and just this already has, imo, made me much more efficient. I can focus on specific tabs without having to move around like crazy like I usually do on safari. I also love the split screen feature - I read a lot of research papers and sigma makes taking notes while reading so simple. You can also send feedback or request features! Lastly, the design is beautiful and clear, something you don’t always find elsewhere.
Keep up the good work Sigma!

Highly recommend Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001 and the sequel Directorate S: The C.I.A. and America's Secret Wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are long but very detailed and really lays out the complex relationships between the CIA, Pakistani ISI, and the various groups that came and went leading up to 9/11 in the first book, and post 9/11 in the second.

Descent into Chaos: The United States & the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan & Central Asia and In the Graveyard of Empires: America's War in Afghanistan are also great reads about Afghanistan.

Not as on topic, but still good would include The Way of the Knife: The CIA, a Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth about how the CIA shifted towards more targeting operations and the military shifted to more intelligence gathering and how that has blurred the lines between the two. And The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One about how insurgencies work, how local people are recruited and coopted by globally minded jihadists using local problems, and how a counter insurgency operation requires understanding and addressing local dynamics and issues, and breaking the connection between locally focused fighters and global jihadists.

Can rationality exist outside of our minds? Is it just another mental heuristic?

In meditation, a common teaching is to examine an object for a long period, really just stare at it and allow your mind to focus on it fully. I see a coffee mug, it has a handle and writing on it, it's off-white and has little coffee stains. This descriptive mind goes a mile-a-minute normally, but eventually you can break through that and realize, this is just a collection of atoms, this is something reflecting photons and pushing back electrically against my skins' atoms. Even deeper, it's just part of the environment, all the things I can notice, like everything else we care about.

Such exercises can help reveal the nature of mind. There are many layers of this onion, and many separate onions vying for our attention at once. Rationality relies upon peeling back these superficial layers of the thought onion to get towards "the truth." That means peeling back biases, emotions, hunches, instincts, and all the little mental heuristics that are nice "shortcuts" for a biologically limited thinker.

But outside our minds, how is there any rationality left? It feels like another program or heuristic we use to make decisions to help us survive and reproduce.
The Magna Carta and the U.S. Constitution did exclude many people, but the disenfranchised groups appealed to those documents to demand their own rights. It's not as if the rights of those groups were respected before the Magna Carta or the Constitution, so it's strange to say the Magna Carta "messed up the world". In general Chomsky is an example of someone who makes big contributions to specific field but has terrible judgement. Quoting the article:

'To be sure, the reach of the charter was limited. Nevertheless, as Eric Kasper observes in a scholarly review, “What began as a relatively small check on the arbitrary power of King John eventually led to succeeding generations finding ever more rights in Magna Carta and Article 39. In this sense, Magna Carta is a key point in a long development of the protection of rights against arbitrary executive power.”

Crossing the Atlantic, the Great Charter was enshrined in the US Constitution as the promise that “no person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” and that “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.”

The wording seems expansive, but that is misleading. Excluded were “unpeople” (to borrow Orwell’s useful concept), among them Native Americans, slaves and women, who under the British common law adopted by the founders were the property of their fathers, handed over to husbands. Indeed, it wasn’t until 1975 that women gained the right to serve on juries in all fifty states.'

> reported that one to facebook aswell

I've given up reporting obviously scammy (and sometimes blatantly illegal) adverts, links, and profiles, to facebook. The canned “doesn't break out community rules” responses or no response at all, confirms to me that a large part of the point of facebook is ripping people off and facebook know it! I've even stopped commenting on the adverts with a list of red flags to warn others, because that just makes facebook show you more of them (if you've engaged with one, you might be interested in seeing others!).

> We have to be careful not to be confused with the common conspiracy theory that the US wanted to steal Iraqi oil

Under Saddam, Iraq's oil was nationalized, and most of the profits went to Iraq's government, with Chinese and Russian companies taking less than 10%. After the invasion, the US pushed for a law that would allow no-bid contracts to western oil companies[1]. It never passed because that would have been the end of Maliki's government.

So, to be fair, we wanted to steal the profits from Iraqi oil production, and secure access to the 3rd largest reserves on earth.

You can tell so much about a company by their docs.

I remember first reading Twilio’s docs - and Stripe’s and immediately knowing the company is fantastic. It’s about the level of effort and craft that’s gone into them, from their design, to the examples to the tone of voice.

(Twilio’s have now deteriorated badly in my opinion and become really overly complex)

It’s the same as Steve Jobs wanting the insides of the machine to look as good as the outside.
