Re: your last sentence, I think it’s more likely the implication is that lots of them have crypto gains that they haven’t paid taxes on.
your comment takes on a different sense if we guess that your partner shares giantg's sentiments, which in many cases could well be true. Without saying anything personal about you (I don't know you and have not researched your comment history, for example), a narcissist would be highly likely to bristle at the idea of giving-in to another person's preference, maybe even to the point of being moved to comment on an internet forum!

my point is, there is a lot of complexity to different personalities interacting that is not captured by your somewhat idealistic view of giantg's life.
I tried experimenting with Common LISP but never understood how one was supposed to deploy a finished binary to the end user. It seemed like you were supposed to load up an environment? It made me leery of continuing.
Lumea | Cloud Engineer | Lehi, UT (preferred onsite, but not required) | Full-time

Lumea is a market leader in digital pathology solutions. With Lumea's online platform, pathologists can provide faster and more accurate healthcare to their patients. We've raised millions of dollars in investment funding and are continually growing our development team.

We are looking for an experienced cloud engineer to help us move fully to the cloud and to design, build, deploy, and manage our entire cloud infrastructure. Currently, our development teams take responsibility for deployment and server maintenance, but these will be moved to the new DevOps/Cloud Engineering team.

Feel free to reach out at aaron@lumea.net
I'd like to add nuance: tradition seems to oftentimes be a mix between actual solutions to problems, and legacy cruft that can be safely removed without undoing the fix to the problem. Large, active codebases have to be occasionally refactored to keep them understandable, and this refactoring can often be done without a loss of functionality - why would the law (or tradition) be different?

In particular, it feels like much of the legal system is a bunch of hacks grafted onto existing (oftentimes much older) laws, and that there's an opportunity to rewrite the laws and merge the hacks in to form a cohesive whole.

Yeah, in US you can rent and drive 26 foot long truck (these are rated to 26000 pounds, so just below 12 tons) on a regular driver license in most places. And yes, these aren’t that hard to drive, if you are paying attention.

I like being able to just rent one if I need it, without going through complex licensing rigamarole like you do in Europe, and apparently lack of it has not caused the society to collapse ( we have not had terrorist truck attacks either). I find the American lenient system much more preferable.
Although MongoDB claims in an undated article entitled "MongoDB and Jepsen"[65] that their database passed Distributed Systems Safety Research company Jepsen's tests, which it called “the industry’s toughest data safety, correctness, and consistency Tests”, Jepsen published an article in May 2020 stating that MongoDB 3.6.4 had in fact failed their tests, and that the newer MongoDB 4.2.6 has more problems including “retrocausal transactions” where a transaction reverses order so that a read can see the result of a future write.[66][67] Jepsen noted in their report that MongoDB omitted any mention of these findings on MongoDB's "MongoDB and Jepsen" page.

> Presumably the GP's data is external and therefore not checkable or inferrable by typescript.

There is no such thing as external data that is not checkable or inferable by typescript. That's what type assertion functions and type guards are for.

With typescript, you can take in an instance of type any, pass it to a type assertion function or a type guard, and depending on the outcome either narrow it to a specific type or throw an error.

Heh ... I did something similar without thinking about bandwidth.

Indeed. The key Point here though is the post office was set up to fail by the rate changes.

The greater point is the management failures and abuse has are all about promoting private interests, not about running the post office as intended and necessary. And we the people suffer for all of that because we're seeing a great thing he created unnecessarily so that others can profit out of hand.

> misclassified by 55.5%

That's a weird (and confusing) way to phrase it.

Better phrasing (I checked the linked source article in the Lancet) would be: "researchers found that 55·5% of deaths from police violence between 1980 and 2018 were misclassified"

It would also have been good to provide the numerator and denominator: "The Lancet estimates 17,100 of 30,800 were misclassified."

The headline is good and provides the numerator:

> More than 17,000 deaths caused by police have been misclassified since 1980

(Edit: Added clarification as to why I think this is weird confusing, with the full data from the article and suggestions for how NPR could have written this more clearly.)
Not quite. They have a soft 15 Gb cap, past which they throttle you down significantly but also don't charge you. And then it's $10 / Gb if you want to extend that cap.

Also the oxen blockchains state growth is pretty mild. Its currently 20gb after 4 years. Even moneros blockchain is pretty mild which gets heavy use (sub 100gb i believe).

State growth is an issue all blockchains face, but there are ways of addressing it. If oxens blockchain gets to 200gb in 40 years though i dont think that is an unreasonable expectation to put on the people running nodes.

I've heard similar takes. And my own is right in line with what he said.

This is one scenario where I think greed is hurting the American people. There's plenty of room for a robust post office and lots of niche private services that can make their owners tons of money.

A lot of this is ideological, if you ask me.
I'm a bit the same. I've been writing Racket for a number of years now and looking back at Lisp I see a lot of ugliness that I don't really think I enjoy.

Racket has a nice package manager and module system that kind of works for me, and the documentation is honestly some of the best I've ever used, if not my favorite. Comparatively, I've tried using GNU Guile and found the online documentation to be horrendous, and trying to find online documentation for what's considered to be the "standard library" in Common Lisp still confuses me.

I love seeing people use CL and other Lisp-likes in the wild, and Norvig was a big inspiration for me.
I honestly don't think I like this at the application level. You're removing a degree of freedom from operators and users. I have a ton of memory on all of my home devices, and usually just take the working directories for frequently used applications and mount them as tmpfs. I do the same thing for application working directories of applications I deploy at work as well, where we have complete freedom to deploy memory-optimized servers with lots of RAM. Putting an extra in-memory cache on top of the OS filesystem that is already in-memory is an unnecessary extra step and doubling the memory use of each file that can't be turned off without patching and recompiling your application. The OS is already smart enough not to add a cache on top of tmpfs.
Best of luck to you--levels is an awesome site!

> This isn't an anti-AGI argument and it doesn't disprove humans.

You're saying you can't find intelligent programs this way because the search space is large. That's an anti-AGI argument, and it's fallacious because humans evolved.

Yes, you can only search an infinitesimal subset of the search space. The same is true for DNA. The argument is clearly invalid without at least reference to properties that gradient descent has, or that evolution has but it does not, which you have not done. It is wrong for the same reasons the watchmaker analogy is.

That's a big "if". Sometimes those things are just not needed by the team. But management is imposing it on you because they want to make you jumpy through hoops.

You could invent a new kind of desalination plant, bringing in millions for the company but the manager still wants you to first spend a year through bullshit hoops.

Back in 1999, they had to do self-driving updates over the air, which was by carrier pigeon. Worked pretty well, but you had to wash your car more often.
I don't disagree here.

I'm commenting that the terminology dates back to familial structures and housing arrangements that largely no longer exist. Hence, archaic (since it's a historical artifact).

As alluded to by other commenters: in China, women would be "married out" such that they would live with their husbands' families. As a result, the notion of "younger sister from outside" versus "younger sister down the hall" arose.

That distinction doesn't exist if the newlywed couple doesn't move in with either of their parents.

...

On the note of your question: English also has husband/wife, widow/widower, fiancé/fiancée (okay those are technically French loanwords). In the husband/wife scenario, we might use "spouse". And I still find "partner" a bit odd when it's used to refer to heterosexual couples, even if it's perfectly applicable.

Is the more specialized terminology entirely irrelevant in either case (English or Chinese)? No, it conveys more information. But there are certainly situations where it's just not applicable (e.g. if one or both entities identify as nonbinary).

(and as an aside, it's a distinction that makes the language harder to learn with all of its nuances -- my father has no sisters, so I grew up assuming that it was just "which parent's side is the cousin on?")
I think the argument is that absent corporate lobbying, politicians can still be influenced. Something else will fill the position, and the total amount of influence over politicians not granted democratically will be unchanged. Maybe that's still through money, but taken as direct bribes under the table, or maybe it's populism, or something else entirely.

I don't know if that's true. I also don't know if what replaced campaign contributions would be better or worse.

I do know that lobbying is itself overstated. In 1999, the GDP was 10 trillion. 3 billion, or 0.03%, of that went into politics, mostly from individual donors rather than companies [1]. If lobbying were an effective way to buy political influence, more companies would shell out. Maybe it's already happening under the table, though.
