>> The “vote” system has been broken badly, which is why the “free market” system needs to be used instead until it’s fixed - and to help fix it. And if you don’t like a company acting on some social value, don’t buy their products.

> Sadly, I think the "free market" system of voting with your wallet is also broken, if not moreso.

It's definitely more broken, at least from a democratic perspective. In the free market, you vote with your dollars and shares, and those with more money have more votes (sometimes many orders of magnitude more). One man one vote it ain't.
I'm curious if Prometheus has considered any options for permanent sequestration. Perhaps buying an old oil rig and pumping electro fuel back into it.

It's obviously hard to find an economic incentive to do this, but maybe carbon credits would make it possible.
Apple employees who don’t like Texas law or culture can work for Apple in California, and employees who don’t like California culture or law can work in Texas, yes?

Seems like Apple supports their employees by maintaining offices in different places.
Cost of living is not the only reason why Western people don't have a lot of kids anymore. A lot of it is a change in values, Western people just don't idealize/value having a big family anymore.

Yes, exactly the same type of stuff. And the other day a legitimate email from a company I was interviewing with (from an email address I have had two way communication with) got marked as a promotion.

Since going to a sculpt, regular keyboards are just upsetting. I love almost everything about it, especially how I can position my shoulders. It feels familiar for a mac user, ironically, because of the chicklet keys, and only took a day to get used to. I'd love to try others that are identical in shape, but maybe different in tact or texture. The Surface Keyboard is too big and too expensive for my taste. $170 vs $80.

I like this person's idea, though of course it's very demanding in terms of space and $$. Whatever gets rid of the pain and helps your posture.

They just released an Emergency Vehicle Detection feature on basic autopilot, and so far it works.

This is a big part of the rewrite of autopilot, the ML they use can now persist data through time, so it can reasonably predict if occluded objects will remain in place.

That isn't just a problem of misaligned incentives, it's more fundamental than that. It's also a problem with how software "construction" tools work at a very basic level. Look around at open source projects, they don't have this perverse incentive, and which of them ship security updates separate from the feature updates?

Nobody does because it causes a combinatorial explosion in code branches, and in testing. This isn't just a problem with the higher level convenience tools like compilers and package managers, its a problem with the actual source code as formulated as it is today. We'd need an entirely different way of writing code in order to do that without a massive increase in programmer/testing hours. Personally I don't think it will ever realistically happen, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

I also use two Apple Magic Keyboards, though angled in rather than out. I have tried various keyboards, including ones with cherry, and I own a split Kinesis for Mac. They all have the same problem: when I am away from my desk (or country) I need to use the laptop keyboard. So I have two magic keyboards, or I have one. Has to be the magic keyboard, not the big one with the numpad, because that one has the modifiers and cursor keys in different locations (no Fn for example).

It's not for everyone, but I wish everyone else would leave off the "Oh thats so bad for you", "Oh your life will be changed by a Cherry whatever". It's not and it wasn't. Feel free to share positive outcomes, but don't insist your solution will work for everyone.
It was Uber in it's early days. I recall a blog post from their chief marketing officer(?) at the time.

I thought about randomness, but cannot randomness be detected?

This was a great blast from the past. A few friends of mine and I would write down instructions to draw crude pictures in Logo; the usual sorts of things you'd expect from kids (and one step away from calculator tricks that would result in 8,008,135).

I'm sure lots of other kids did the same thing; kind of a fun way to sneak into writing programs - a low barrier to entry, and immediate results you could tinker with.

Increasing the blocksize makes running a node much more expensive (due to storage, mainly) which in turn makes the network less decentralised. Bitcoin (rightly) selects for decentralisation over transaction speed, hence LN as an L2...

Big-O is a way to class algorithms/methods into similar categories

It is distinctly NOT a profiling tool!

O(n) is [almost] always better than O(n2)

Likewise, O(logN) is [almost] always better than O(n)

But just because you're comparing within rough categories doesn't mean they're the same

Crab apples are apples

Just like Northern Spies

But other than being "apples" ... they're nothing alike - one is about an inch in diameter, the other 3-4". One's crisp, solid, and mildly sweet-tart...the other is practically uneatable without tons of sugar

But they're not bananas

And that's what Big-O is all about - putting the classes or types of algorithms into groups

Sounds like the author had no clue what he was being told in college (which is concerning ... it's something I had explained by every compsci and infosys instructor and professor I had over the course of dozens of classes)
I think it is very complicated. CAF comes in many forms, Judicial AF and Administrative AF. In many cases you can't even reach the courts as the government attorney needs to allow the case to reach the court.

If it is CBP that confiscates your cash, it is supposed to inform DOJ about it and then you are supposed to reach out to DOJ to get it back. Now despite the law CBP simply refused to inform DOJ, as you have to chase this alphabet soup of agencies. In most cases CBP offers to keep a portion of the cash and wants to return rest of the money as settlement.

CAF is a program that should be completely abolished.

> current mitigation levels are saving a lot of suffering and a lot of lives.

Explain Florida. Explain Sweden.

When we jumped into this hot mess back in March of 2020 there was not a shred of evidence that any of these mitigations worked. To date, there still isn't--I wouldn't trust any research conducted in the heat of the moment. People don't have a level head right now. It will take decades to fully determine what worked and what didn't.

I bothers me greatly that we are all unconsenting participants in an uncontrolled experiment. When you call all this it for what is, people gaslight you and bully you. All these "experts" are no better than witch doctors or rain dancers. They are making all these mandates with zero clue as to their efficiency. It's highly immoral and unethical.
You're right that it's not extralegal action. But you're wrong that rarity makes it newsworthy. It's newsworthy because it's so obviously unjust and corrupt.
Ah yes, I was looking at the incomplete build, sorry for my sloppy comment. This thing has so many fans I can't imagine having air flow issues. Like I said, don't get me started about fans, rofl. Since you have a cat, I'm sure you'll be cleaning out those filters quite often, as I do.

Can you share your GPU (under load) temps, or did I miss those as well?

I hope I wasn't coming off too negatively on your build. I'm still reeling about my last build, which was quite similar.

Thanks for posting this. I did not know about about this darker side to Ioannidis.

I think lockdowns are/were a good thing. I won't necessarily fault Ioannidis for comments on lock downs on March 17, 2020 because that's pretty early on in. However, the April 17, 2020 pre-print story is pretty damning.
Yeah, I can't imagine the Moonlander being a great fit for someone with normal/small hands. I got a Moonlander and happen to love it. Though, I really wish they hadn't decided to make the thumb cluster a tenting leg. I think that's my biggest complaint about it.

ZSA does sell a tenting leg kit that I believe should allow you to swap the thumb cluster screw for a leg, but I haven't tried it myself. It's only $24. Additionally, they have a 3d-printable file for a tenting leg that should work as well, if you happen to have a printer.

The Dactyl Manuform and Ergodox are also decent options for anyone looking for something like the ZSA Moonlander but don't want to deal with the Moonlander's issues. The Lily58 and Corne have far too few keys for my liking, but to each there own.
Progress in computation can be decomposed into three factors:

Perf = (perf / op) * (op / $) * $

(1) Perf / op is essentially software progress, the subject of this article. (And for AI/ML, you can further decompose it into algorithm progress and training data progress.)

(2) Op / $ is essentially Moore's law, which has been slowing down and can be further decomposed into: Ops / $ = (ops / transistor) * (transistor / area) * (area / $)

(3) $ is willingness to spend money. This has probably been the biggest source of progress for AI projects in the past 10 years, with Deep Mind and Open AI and Google Brain and Silicon Valley ad tech spending billions to build models more complex and capable than any that have come before. http://www.rossgritz.com/trends-in-deepmind-operating-costs/...
Why Some Companies Don’t Value Software Developer’s Work

This guy seems to have given up too soon. There are also normal spilt keyboards like the UHK. And even cheaper Chinese options like the Mistel Barocco. These Chinese keyboards are what most people should get if they need a split keyboard.

Normal keyboard layout, just split. Connected by a coiled USBC to USBC cable that you could replace with a longer cable.

I use the Mistel which fine for me. The layout never bothered me, just the distance between the halves and the lack of tenting.

They are also programmable which is useful when you can’t use software to remap your keys.

Wittgenstein had this effect on me too. But not the Tractatus. What calmed me down was the Philosophical Investigations and Kripkes Naming and Necessity.
Actually a medieval person or neolithic person would have derived large future ages, because in those epochs population growth was slow and arguably not even exponential.

The fact we know there is a fast rise and possible peak in world population around 2050 means most humans born or ever to be born will be born in the years ~1700-2200. This is pure math, and an argument against it is an argument against the Copernican principle.
Again a bit closer to GIOP and DCE RPC. The circle closes.
Software Developer: Good Parts and Bad Parts
It wouldn't be given per family, it would be per person, so those kids would each get a share. I am not sure why that would be hard to enforce.

I am not sure why you think it should be divided by family... that "family without children" was created by a family that had children... why would an adult be more worthy of their share than a kid? A kid probably uses less carbon than an adult.

The whole point is that we don't have to figure out who uses more carbon or who deserves what... we tax the carbon at its source, and let the market figure out how to pass that cost along, and then pay the money directly to people. If you use less carbon than average you get more money than you pay... doesn't matter who you are or how old you are.

You seem to be talking about incentivizing population control... I am very against that, but even if you are for it, I don't think carbon taxes are the way to go for that.
Advertising is a gross inefficiency on the economy. To achieve market balance you need to make sure consumers are aware of your product - back in the day this was rather difficult since there was no central repository of all knowledge. Now that we've got the internet though... this is unnecessary to achieve a healthy level of company growth.

However, if you want to cannibalize an industry's profit margins to squeeze in front of your competitors advertising in many forms will remain productive. I think we almost need a cartel-like system that says "Okay video card manufactures - enough with the advertising... nobody impulse buys video cards so each sale you gain through advertising is just coming from one of the other company's pockets (or your own)."
Well, they say that Logo gave them a taste of functional programming, which is a broader statement than turtle drawing (which, to be fair, is the bulk of the prior discussion). Logo was strongly influenced by Lisp and, consequently, is a multi-paradigm language including functional as one of its paradigms.

> taking away my right as a Texan to have my representatives craft laws

In other words, your right to have your representatives restrict the liberty of the rest of us Texans for no good reason.

Sadly, the motto of the Texas Legislature seems to be "Local control!" when it comes to national policy — at least if the federal government is controlled by Democrats — but just the opposite when it comes to blue cities' enactment of progressive local ordinances that offend rural conservatives and/or their corporate donors.

(Houstonian here, formerly a lifelong, pretty-conservative Republican.)
Exactly. The more data, the more control over interactions the other party has to extract maximum value. I’m always surprised when people don’t understand this. They get it if you talk about the real world, but don’t if suddenly the information is exchanged over computers.
Dr. Tom Woods hold degree's from Harvard and Columbia in history. He is libertarian and likely has appeared on Fox news but to use that to discredit him is ridiculous.

He has many many books, and a popular show (not on Fox news) talking about how history can give of insights into how the government has in the past, and will in the future abuse is citizens. He also talks on economics, and public policy from a libertarian angle.

In the age of COVID and the MASSIVE amounts us government abuse that has been since under the guise of "emergency" I feel that is important message to be getting out there
Overall a good read but some comments.

1. How are partial rebuilds and dependencies handled? I assume that this is done from scratch based on only using the standard library but this seems like quite a bit if code to write. (Not exactly complex, but not trivial either.)

2. It days that Google fingured this out using Python for the build. This is presumably referring to Bazel but Bazel doesn't actually do the build in Python. You just write the build description in Python with very limited logic allowed. It is much more of a configuration language than a build script.
> They may eventually get detected, but cheaters generally will just create a new account and start cheating again.

Typically games will either avoid putting low play count players in the pool with established or paying players. Both because they don't want the guy playing for the first time to be constantly creamed by heavily invested players which would drive them off but also because real time and real dollars are strong deterrent to most and at least an extreme slowdown to the remaining. The net result of anti-cheat is to make it unviable to continually cheat, not to never have hacks that temporarily work.

CS's problem is Valve has shit anti-cheat that doesn't really care to detect cheaters and even when it does it doesn't have strong new player segmentation to delay them from coming back. Both of these are reason's Valve is lax with cheaters not reason's anti-cheats aren't effective.
Ah, okay. I'll admit that it's been quite a few years since I've used lightning.

> Civ leans towards the simpler/tactics side, but is just barely enough "Strategy" that I'd group it in the strategy side of things.

Civ I’d say (while relatively simple in most versions) is very much on the strategy side. While maneuvering units in the battle theater matters, wars are mostly won or lost by the tech and economics and diplomatic situation going in, and the timing of the decisions to start and end the war.
I appreciate your comment though I disagree with what seems to be your interpretation of dominion. Good lord I love this board, people actually converse. I upvoted you too, though I take issue with a couple of your points.

I don't believe anyone ever has or ever will have dominion over the outcome of their actions within any domain - regardless of power they may otherwise wield. The only certainty in life is uncertainty after all. So, I don't find the presence of uncertainty an acceptable lower bound. Additionally, believing our contemporary body of medical knowledge is complete to the point where we aren't currently making mistakes tantamount to mercury laxatives seems to me, dangerously hubristic.

Being able to make choices unconstrained by experts and authorities who believe your decisions are wrong, is the essence of freedom and the impetus propelling all forward progress. Free Inquiry demands we embrace others' self-determination and latitude in their decisions, respecting the near certain presence of unknown unknowns.

More average people now are reading scientific literature than ever before, which should be cause for rejoicing. Sadly, we seem to be ignoring that opportunity and abandoning all semblance of rational, data-driven science.
Rather, we're corrupting Science with Religion, skepticism with faith, breaking into factions mutually recognized as heresies. The data are twisted to fit expectations, not dispassionately observed. We're twisting men of science into priests, models into dogma, literature into liturgy, and inquiry into inquisition. We're not going to notice the unknown unknowns until they've already sunk in their fangs and got a mouth full of buttcheek.
Great list! I have the Koolertron (aka SmartYao) and love it. (Though I don't recommend the version with backlit keys) Before that I had one called the Comfort Keyboard.

I've also been using a Moonlander since late 2020 and going back to a laptop has been fine. The fact that on my two Lenovo laptops, the Ctrl and Fn keys are not in the same order (whoever thought this was a good idea?) is anecdotally also a much more frequent cause of issues.
