I don't know, but I'm kind of skeptical of this. I find with a lot of crypto folks, the line between predicting state collapse and rooting for state collapse gets kind of blurred. Similar to gold bugs: if your favorite asset would benefit from the downfall of state power, it seems you start to see signs of it everywhere that other people don't really see.

This is a rideshare capital vs opponent capital legal battle. Any claims to doing this for the drivers is absurd; different drivers want different things, and for that, you would have to design an environment whereby a driver can be either freelance or employee. Some drivers want the flexibility, and genuinely like the way the system works today. Some want security, a guaranteed hourly wage, as they need a consistent income. Some want healthcare, etc. The legal straightjacket is convenient for tax purposes but little else.

The idea that a driver can only be one or the other is of course the capitalists convenience. Having the law back them up is the goal of the shareholder- hence this war- but the claims that drivers want it one way or the other is silly.

As to the claim that it has to be one way or the other because of the legal environment (taxes etc) and the rigidity in work classifications, then a different bureaucracy is in order, a conversation which is conveniently ignored in this public debate.
For me it's about paradigms the language represents. I try to extend the simplicity of golang all the way to the network architecture. I've learned that it's better to build many very very simple things and connect them. Not for any technical reasons, but because it allows other developers to quickly begin adding to and fixing your systems. You get to leverage the large amount of mediocre programmers when your systems are simple instead of looking for heros. It's definitely easier said than done though to make systems naturally intuitive and simple.

I've also learned that in most cases you don't need to invent some giant application. It's far easier to create extensions or wrappers to existing operations or service tools, with a bonus (again) being easier hiring and delegation. You can hire someone who knows a standard piece of tech and quickly ramp them up on a small extension or wrapper that you wrote. Golang is the language that made me always take this simple approach first and look for something that does 80% of what I need and think about problems very generically.
Strangely, I have found that stress, or more accurately crises, have stimulated my creativity and shook me out of tired old modes of thinking more than anything else. Perhaps long lasting, low grade stress is bad, but the occasional spike is good?

In my view, there are two possibilities:

1) The data is fabricated and some of the researchers were in on it.

2) The data is fabricated, and the researchers are extremely sloppy, irresponsible and should be ashamed of their poor work ethic.

How can you not have done any kind of analysis on this data, even if only for curiosity's sake? No plots of the distributions? Nothing? Come on, it's stuff that take 3 mins to whip up in python.

In this age of misinformation, we don't tolerate people spouting lies even if they claim to think it is the truth. I don't see how this is any different. They didn't even attempt to do basic verification.
>The author of the Guardian piece is right to cite Horkheimer toward the end--nearly every day I find his work more prophetic and applicable to our contemporary situation

Seeing reason as socially constructed is just another mode of thinking that's not any more superior then seeing reason as a tool or embedded in the frame of being an individual. That's the problem with this school of thought. The critiques make valid observations while falling into the same fallacies in their own way. Collectivist reductionism has sins of its own.
Comments like this are frowned upon I guess but I can't not bring up a great quote from 30 Rock's Jack Donaghy:

You can take one fast look at the design and see where the biggest problem is going to be: the lateral (spreading) forces against the ends of the bridge will require some clever anchor or ground lock of sorts, otherwise the ends will just shove apart and the middle will collapse.

Notice in the modern model, they have the ends not only anchored, but actually blocked within boundaries that prevent spreading.

Other bridges have used a similar design, but they had much more of a vertical component. Then the forces at the ground were more perpendicular to the earth plane, so gravity and mass of the stones (and friction of the stones against the earth) could better prevent separation.
Awesome work @flamecoals. Neat UI. Would love to explore for a project we are working on.
I've been building a boardgame.io projecy and I find the documentation hard to follow the typescript definition lacking and the framework rigid and tricky to get right. its a shame since the promise of building a board game in a quick and simple way was enticing but the framework doesn't live up to it.
perhaps I'm missing something, please prove me wrong.

It might sound weird but apart from the standard advice you are going to receive about pills, therapy and mental gymnastics, in my personal experience becoming more spiritual helps.

I know its not a popular thing in a any tech circles to even think about it but it does help. And spirituality need not involve any religion. You can try philosophies like Zen or Advaita which basically reduces you to being a doer aiming for the best way to do things without caring for the outcome. These philosophies reduce the attachment to material success and paradoxically also help you do your best on any given task because your mind is free.

Its like you are a plumber or electrician who got called for consultation. You give your best possible advice and try doing the best possible work but if the customer faces the problem again, you might not feel the pain personally.
The chip is approximately 21 cm x 21 cm (that's 8.5 inches).

My kettle has 2 kW and doesn't take long to boil water from room temperature. I reckon you could fit four such kettles on the chip area (roughly). That means the chip would roughly boil water two times as fast as my kettle, were it used for that purpose.

While that does pose reasonably interesting engineering challenges regarding coolant throughput etc., I don't think there's anything particularly difficult there. You probably would want a better heat transfer medium between chip and water than my kettle has (well, I have not disassembled it), but I agree with GP that a bunch of water pipes will work well enough as a cooling solution.

Edit: Actually, screw it, we can calculate how much water we need to put through there. Warming water from 20 to 100 °C takes 334 kJ/kg. (That comes out to 167 seconds to heat 1l of water in a 2 kW kettle, for reference.) To remove 15 kW of heat with water cooling, assuming the water goes in at 20 and comes out at 100 °C, we need a throughput of 0.045 kg/s = 45 g/s = 45 ml/s.

Sure, the temperature range may be a bit optimistic, but 45 ml/s (one liter every 22 seconds) is literally "just hold it under a running tap". The main engineering challenge would be making sure that heat is removed evenly enough, I guess.
Housing in my area of the US is booming. Understandably, that means in others, it's doing the opposite, so it probably washes out.

As for wood, I agree not everyone is out buying lumber. But that affects lots of things. Have you priced out a shed, fixing a deck, or new run of fence? It also apparently affects furniture and such to some degree.
New home builders near me were putting huge 'lumber' addendums on their previous pricing.

Food is a little trickier. Grocery just 'feels' more expensive, but admittedly, I don't have any data to back that up. I can certainly cede that point.

I'm just for freedom of choice.
A "like a family" feeling isn't going to happen while one or more members of that family have total power over wages and employment of the rest. My relationship with my boss and my fellow workers isn't like that of a family, unless my Dad was paying me to work 40hrs a week and could kick me out of the house any time

The only way you'll get anything close to a family feel is something like worker democracy / worker co-ops. Bosses need to stop trying to force a culture onto a workplace and actually treat their employees like people.
Wikipedia has a reasonable summary:

> Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society. While partially based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.

I don’t believe in race. I think it’s a dumb and harmful social construct detached from reality. I consider anyone who does believe in race a racist.

This seems like a generalization that needs to limited in scope. I think the science is settled about Newton’s laws, Maxwell’s equations, Avogadro’s number, and DNA as the genetic material in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. For pretty much anything taught in a 100 level science course, the science is largely settled.

There are controversies in science, and those controversies make for good popular science press, but there is a lot of science that is settled.

It's definitely an individual preference, but it also relates (IME) to the base knowledge the person has of the domain. If I want to explain a novel programming concept to a colleague and they've been programming for 20 years and understand multiple language paradigms I can often start out very abstract. They'll fill in the concrete use or example themselves. On the other hand, with a new hire or a non-CS major (I've worked with a lot of EEs who worked as programmers but weren't trained as programmers) a concrete example which is then generalized or made more abstract works better.

Which is another example of "know your audience". Of course, even with the more advanced person I still have a preference to start with the concrete. I'll just move through it more quickly (easier in person, where you can read your audience, Zoom classes with muted participants have been an awful experience for me).
Home equity and 401K is where I suspect a lot of this wealth lies. So it's not quite as 'liquid' as the headline might suggest. There has also been a tremendous runup in house prices and home based wealth creation over the past few years. So if you combine home equity with 401K and a double income family, it's not hard to get to 7 figures.

If you're reading this and feel frustrated or left behind, consider your age. If you're in your 20s, you have another 20 years of productivity before you're middle-aged. Assuming you're financially responsible, in a relationship with someone else who is financially responsible and both have careers, it is relatively easy to get out of debt and slowly accumulate a considerable nest egg. Also possible as an individual, but the arithmetic and risk makes it a bit harder.

The trick is to avoid the traps: Student debt is a big one. Sorry, I know this ship has sailed for most of you. Just don't do it, and choose a cheaper source of education. I'm on a furious dev hiring spree right now and I don't even bother to look at degrees.

The biggest traps I've seen sabotage my friends, and leave them in their 40s or 50s without much to show, is not paying off student debt, buying expensive cars (The BMW X series seems to be the biggest culprit), and going on expensive vacations that incurs more debt.

Live modestly, get rid of the debt first. Then go from there. And may no mind to the conspicuous consumption all around you.
Your scenario around leaving and whether or not the man will hit his wife was flawed from the start. Given the context of this broader conversation - Apple implementing a new photo-scanning system - one assumes that with the way you left the beginning of your scenario open to interpretation/assumption, that you are leaving after he's already hit his wife (in this case, Apple implementing the CSAM scanning) and hoping he doesn't do it again (Apple scanning for different content in the future). You would do well to better set up your hypothetical scenario next time, perhaps clarifying that you haven't actually witnessed any violence firsthand prior to your departure.

But again, since you continue to avoid what I'm asking:

>The question is simple - what guarantee do we have that Apple won’t expand what kind of content they scan for? What is so difficult to grasp about that, and why do you, it seems, feel that that is an entirely irrelevant question that isn’t worth discussing, answering or being concerned about?

and perhaps more curiously

> Highly public failure on high profile, must-win episodes like COVID & the Afghanistan exit indicates that the US government may fail on any nontrivial physical world endeavor.

This seems like a non-sequitur. What would the underlying cause even be, a sudden outbreak of incompetence, in every area where the US government operates?

I think there's potential for confirmation bias here because the US's "state capacity" was never that impressive in the first place. You can point to "power, water, fire, public health, public schools, public safety", see problems, and characterize it as a "collapse". But these areas were problematic long before the COVID-19 pandemic or US involvement in Afghanistan.
Not replicable is very different from “the data were made up using a random number generator”.
I prefer printf debugging. a) it works everywhere, even say when the bug is only reproducible in a remote CI, or in languages that don't have good IDE support. My printf skills are top notch thanks to using it everywhere. b) the printf stuff can stay around until the next compile. I can easily vary it, put it into VCS, share it with others, etc. For IDEs such features may exist, but again I'm locked into an IDE.

Sure, in some settings the source code is not available and you still want to debug. Then I use debuggers. But outside of that I prefer printf debugging.

Note that I'm not saying that people who prefer debuggers are wrong. They probably have their reasons, as I have. Everyone should be allowed to use the method they prefer the most.
> The thing I hate most about IDEs is when they insinuate themselves into a project's development workflow so deeply that you can't make do without them.

Isn't this the case with Android Studio? Is it even possible to do Android development without Android Studio?

I think most genius ideas go unrecognized or are actively fought against because people prefer the status quo just out of familiarity or because it's what everyone else is doing.

But people are also highly social animals and often operate in hierarchies. So the ability to effectively position oneself socially seems key to having genius ideas or cognitive abilities recognized. That or having a friend with those characteristics.

The traditional computer included in the box is probably quite high end and power hungry too so that it can provide enough data to maintain those bandwidths. They don't appear to sell the chips by themselves.

I think the comparison is with an equivalent gpu cluster like the nvidia DGX systems or HPC CPU nodes. The DGX A100 is 6.5kW for example,

https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/Solutions/Data-Center/nvid...

The Cerebras system fits 15 rack units which is more than 2x larger than the DGX (6.5U). A similar 15 node HPC server with CPU is probably not that far from 15kW either (2 socket per node, 250W per CPU is already 7.5kW, then add RAM etc.) so by HPC standards it's less "full room of servers" than "single cabinet".
They should've amplified it instead. Posted it on the login page.

The First Step Toward Protecting Everyone Else from Teslas
Queders – Think Todo for Orders
I've built many "localhost-only apps" where none never made it to the "www". With Queders (https://www.queders.com), I'm taking it to the actual www.

Hey all, my name Daveyon and I'm starting a side hustle, one I'm extremely passionate about, which involves ecommerce. I've started this app back in 2015 but never got the "drive" to take it further. Today, I'm refactoring some functionality and build what people (store owners) actually wants. The app is called "Queders" which originally processes a queue of orders.
Queders currently connects to Shopify and will connect to other platforms such as BigCommerce and Spree Commerce. The dream is for it to also connect to any ecommerce platform by it, Queders, having its own sets of APIs.

If you are an ecommerce owner, I'd love to hear from you on what you'd like to see in an ecommerce application such as Queders.

A sibling comment pointed out that you're wrong about the Microsoft case. You're also seemingly under informed about monopolies. One of the core issues in the Microsoft case was that they're a horizontal monopoly. Microsoft's monopoly affects all players in the market because a majority of the players use Microsoft's OS. They used that leverage against Netscape and many other companies.

Apple on the other hand has a vertical monopoly, they control the whole stack from hardware to software. While their influence on iPhones is absolute, they don't have outsize influence on other phone vendors. Also while popular iPhones don't have a majority of really any phone market.

Antitrust considerations are different for different monopoly types. Unless a company with a vertical monopoly also had a market monopoly position and used that position to actively influence/harm other companies it's really hard to legally pursue them. You can't fault a company for building their own products and trying to make money from selling them. If a Samsung washing machine has some cool feature when paired with a Samsung dryer, just because Samsung has a monopoly on Samsung appliances doesn't mean they're violating some antitrust laws.

If anything Google is in bigger danger of antitrust suits since they have a more horizontal position in the phone market. While they have token entries in the hardware market they're an OS and service provider. Which is likely why they're supportive is sideloading and alternate app stores, if they behaved like Apple but with a horizontal monopoly the DoJ would be all over them.
Having run several engineering teams (15-20 people), I used this approach extensively. It meant one less place to go and one less tool to use. I liked this approach so much, I also wanted to use Github Issues for internal and external customer support instead of having another help desk tool involved. I created https://hubdesk.io/ as a side project to do this. Forward your support emails to HubDesk and it creates a Github issue for every email thread. You can then communicate back and forth with sender by starting a comment with "@reply" to send a reply email.

I think the term psuedoscience has been shifted to mean things like snake oil and alternative medicines. While that doesn't apply to this case, I think we can still call this psuedoscience. It's trying to make scientific-ish claims without any of the rigor behind science.

It's like if your mom told you that turmeric powder works great to cure certain ailments and then 5 years later a study comes out which proves her right. Mom's cure was still psuedoscience until the research is actually done.
Yes, of course. There are so many shades of grey...

There are quite a few alternatives. Alloy is pretty approachable and aims for the same or a similar space. I liked Event-B (based on B-Method), its tooling was nice. Z Notation (pronounced Zed) was my first examination of formal specifications, it lacked a lot of tooling for automation but I found it helped to clarify my reasoning about systems quite a bit. I wish I'd used it more, it's now a fuzzy memory for me.

That said, I like TLA+ specifically for what it's aimed at, modeling concurrent and distributed systems. It's very effective for this if you can take the time to understand it.
