One interesting comparison would be the after-WWII order. There was basically one industrial power standing with minimal ground damage. Much of the post-WWII economic boom can be traced to this opportunity.

I'm surprised we haven't seen the Coronavirus vaccination program framed in the same way. The countries that vaccinate fast and completely can get back to work quickly, while their competitors may spend months or years trying to get back up to speed.
Thank you, I thought this blog was gone from the internet. His site at one point had a fairly active message board attached to it and I was sad when that went along with what I remember was some sort of author-bloggy appendage.
Surely you're kidding, right? If inflation didn't have a positive feedback loop we wouldn't have the hockey stick exponential devaluation as seen in: Venezuela, Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe, Brazil, etc...

> Japan has had serious struggles fighting off deflation

But the CPI in Japan hasn't gone down, if anything it's gone up more years than it's gone down. Moreover, in what way is Japan terrible? Due to less inflation, there's less income inequality. Maybe deflation isn't bad.
How's performance relative to an internal drive? Historically when I've tried that it was kinda painful (there's a reason why "live" Linux distros used a ramdisk even after the advent of USB drives), but that was back before USB Type-C was a thing, so maybe that's fast enough that it'd at least be on par with a traditional HDD?
I don't think everyone should be piling on, you're mostly correct. Except that your first and last points are contradictory. A dead end and a first step are different things. Though I thought it was common knowledge that these drugs are supposed to be a first step, that too many people use as a crutch, while thinking they are a cure.
David Chalmers is another one that will always give a polite and thoughtful reply.
> There’s a lot of companies (FAANG incl.) that prefer licensed software with support, over random GitHub repositories.

FAANG (especially Google) have a tendency to take inspiration and rewrite the things that they find interesting.

Notably: Piper (very similar to Perforce) in google.
I think that's the intended service life, they'll fall down much faster if they don't actively raise orbit
I thought this line in regards to the percentage of posts flagged increasing was interesting:

"While this data alone does not tell us that COVID denial content on the platform is increasing, it is certainly an indicator."

What I really thought was "if the official sources are wrong, then new information will appear as disinformation"

The conclusion I drew was not that misinformation was increasing, but more likely that the official narrative is crumbling.

This seems like a "canary in the coalmine" moment to me, where people are unwilling to accept the reality that vaccines have "failed" to do what they were supposed to do (even if they are still of benefit), and are doubling down of stifling dissent.
That would be short range FM-Radio.
I have used LabVIEW (and other NI tools) in the past, I was even advised by a mentor to learn LabVIEW extensively because it is very lucrative. I didn't, to be honest his strategy was to become indispensable and mine is always to solve problems.

These workarounds cited in the article are almost personal to me, I would see very senior and competent engineers doing things like screenshots and duplicating code and things like that. I even engaged in it a bit, there are other ways in theory but in practice LabVIEW almost always results in incomprehensible spaghetti.

In the end I was part of a change to the department away from NI and proprietary tools and towards python and standardized hardware. It seriously reduced the difficulty in building our tools. LabVIEW is IMO a dumpster fire and I would probably never use it for anything ever again. It is one of those concepts that sounded good in a pitch and then became a huge mess once implemented.
> I’ve never understood the next-business-day-on-site warranty thing people seem so keen on.

I need my laptop to work. If it doesn't work, I can't work. If I can't work, I'm not getting paid. That's why "next business day" is important.

My laptop contains sensitive data. Data which is encrypted at rest, but which I'm nevertheless not going to ship to goodness knows where, for goodness knows how long. That's one reason why "on site" is important. The other is that I paid a lot of money for a piece of hardware; I'm not going to faf about looking for some Apple Store (of which very few exist in my country).

Lenovo charges ~15% of the purchase price for 3 year NBDOS support, which is very much worth every cent. Tech shows up, replaces $part, leaves, and I can get back to work.
This is very much what I did, but I would add two other things: study above your level, and read the history of the subject.

If an undergraduate read graduate level textbooks, especially overviews.

This gives one a sense of the context of the subject, an appreciation of "where it's going", a hint of why the subject is still interesting and under active development, and makes the undergraduate material seem almost innocent by comparison. It's much harder, of course, and you'll often find that the entire semester's material is covered in a couple of chapters at the beginning, but the feeling of "how the professionals really talk/think about the subject" is hugely important for getting a feel of the thing.

The history of a subject is great for giving the human context, which is hugely useful for grokking how things developed organically, as well as the personalities involved. It can really help remembering stuff.

Before going back to college to do Maths and Physics I went out to the local university to get advice as to how to study the subjects. I was told to get Feynman's Lectures ((in)famous) and Boas' Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences (extremely terse but excellent). I did, tried my best, and in retrospect still think they were taking the piss. And yet, when I went back to university a year later, there were so many ideas and intuitions already in place that although the Maths was still computationally difficult the concepts were not as strange as they might have otherwise been.

In college itself it was the library that was the real draw, so many amazing texts just there for the reading. To be fair, the professors were wonderfully patient and encouraging.

But mainly, just keep at it, hour after hour, without comparing yourself or your efforts to anyone else. It's hard enough without imagining other people looking over your shoulder. I remember a number of young ones who, though brilliant in school, found university just that bit beyond them. Take frequent breaks, even holidays, and remember, above all, that exams are perhaps the worst test of learning we have yet devised apart from all the others.
Instead of "stomach ulcers", wouldn't you rather consult a professional...travel agent?
FAA Releases Data Showing Trends in Dangerous Laser Strikes
Gibson is one of my favorite authors in science fiction.
He may even be on my top 5 favorite authors overall.

Whenever I start a new book, I have the impression that
it is written in subtle different language.
It takes my brain a little while to catch on.

China Miéville has that as well in a different manner.

Gibson seems to me to be an author who thinks about
every single word.

His texture is unique.

Some his later books have some slow passages.
And the Falcon rockets are already approved and working now right? So they have a viable way to launch them anyways, it's not like their hands are tied.
I guess my gripe is less so with the quality of the article itself, and more with it’s presence right here on the front page of the orange site.

There might be places online where all sorts of people find all sorts of content worth spending their time on, but I like to think that the rules by which this place operates, and the kind of crowd it attracts, should generally weed out this kind of content.
Also went to Caltech, and my progression was the complete opposite. Started out going to every lecture and trying to write everything down, but things just moved way too fast -- I'd write down every word and figure without ever internalizing it, and at the end of each lecture I'd have a crappy copy of the lecture notes and no memory of the last hour.

By senior year, my strategy was: don't write anything down, just try to follow the main thread of the lecture. Then afterwards, go back and read the textbook and take exhaustive notes then. Empirically I learned way more that way.
I have still not figured out how to use the new system from the command line. And I am generally rather familiar with git, just not with ssh. Ended up switching a repo to public just in order to be able to use it. Maybe I should try again and hope there are better tutorials around now than a month ago. The Anubis school of infosec https://external-preview.redd.it/-zmkMWw8GlL5REUZmtcKIPj9PtY... is strong on this one.

The problem with austerity is that most countries implemented it were forced into doing it and, due to the particulars of that political relationship, chosen to cut social services instead of cutting cronyism, which is also politically calculated to cause as much pain as possible for the poor and create an unpopular sentiment against austerity and coerce the entity imposing the austerity into ending it.

If interested, reach out directly to me: zohaib [at] resemble.ai
I mean given all this talk about "truth" this author might want to have a look, in a proper library, as to what Critical Race Theory entails. I'm sure much interesting empirical evidence can be found in the work of e.g. Crenshaw.
I hope the war between Musk and Bezos eventually gets adopted into a poorly conceived movie or TV mini series.
The Bay Area is much larger than SF and Oakland. The Peninsula is lovely, no needles, no shit, good schools, beautiful homes in the hills, we actually support our police departments who generally come when you call them, etc. Even South Bay is great, modulo housing expenses. I never felt unsafe in Sunnyvale, and it and Fremont have some of the lowest crime rates of cities > 150K pop in the U.S.
Thanks for sharing. Do you do anything like this?
I'm intending to make the app customizable so you could set it up for any use case, like this: https://ibb.co/PNCtpyL

Zodiac was a chloracne detective story, if it was anything.
It seems humans need a sense of competition to make progress towards any goal beyond the day-to-day.

If I have to choose between this and nuclear-armed superpowers intimidating each other with super-accurate rockets - I'll take the billionaires.

To be honest I think it's awesome. We need people who are able and willing to push for something beyond the everyday, and it doesn't really matter why they're doing it.

What stops people from just botting the captcha tokens? More captcha's?
Quite. IT people in universities have jobs for life. The overwhelming majority of academics -- often including many professors -- do not.
I think this applies mostly to "top tier tech"

In the UK, I have only been "down levelled" once, and that was when my company got bought out by a FAANG. I went from head of infra(with a growing team), to almost a ticket monkey, but not quite. Apparently I'm bottom rung senior, but given that I'm not managing people, infra or projects, its really not.

This is of course natural, as FAANGs are stuffed with over achievers and people willing to sacrifice _everything_ for for fake company points. I am happy enough collecting my kings ransom for handling 1/20th of the responsibility I had in the previous company.

I am lucky that when I have been looking for a new job I haven't had pressure to take anything that was on hand. This meant that I could avoid the bullshit jobs and push for something I wanted to do. At each stage I've had more responsibility, or more control over my area.
Amazing, we now have sky NIMBYs complaining about satellites hindering views.
> Seniors at FAANG type companies simply dont do that much

I could see why some at smaller companies would believe that, or rather prefer to believe that.
After 30 years of buying Apple, I gave up when it became common for the powerbooks to subject you to DC in the wrists, kill perfectly serviceable panasonic dvd drives and send HDs to nirvana on the clock. The number of recovery jobs I had to run for musicians and filmmakers between 2003 and 2010 was hair raising. Never again. My mac classic runs just fine.
Given that for this sort of project, there's a more or less completely 1:1, deterministic mapping between a MIDI representation and anything else, you can just insert a MIDI->Lilypond (or vice versa) filter and you're done.
How long until those without a version on their phone have to wait in a different slower longer line at TSA?
They track the cards played, make assumptions on other players folded cards and provide odds of winning hands.

There are also "Auto Fold" applications that alert a player only when a hand worth playing is dealt. Eg: Suited 10 J or higher.
The night view is a potential issue, but Kessler syndrome is not. These satellites will decay on extremely short timescales. Until many of them start blowing up and launching debris in higher orbit, we don't need to worry too much about this.
Wow.

Despite his ever growing amount of haters, Musk & Co. do really seem to be placing safety fairly high up on their priority list, if not at the top where Musk says it is.

Branson... does not particularly seem to be doing so. I'm unaware if he's ever repeatedly claimed safety is Virgins top priority though.

Wonder how things go down in Bezos land.

If electric cars are part is the solution, we need demand for infrastructure (mostly charging, but also maintenance expertise). Middle class-driven Teslas are sufficiently present to have induced building infrastructure, from which other classes can profit.

If electric transportation is not part of the solution, you're right about that being a distraction.
Um, trackpads suck.
>Both the old "Intel Ultrabook" and the new "Intel Evo" tightly restrict thickness in the 12-14" laptop segment.

How do those programs work? Do you need to meet a certain thickness to get called an ultrabook? Why can't manufacturers just opt out and make a notebook without "ultrabook" slapped on it?
