The explosion in the number of sofware components in modern tractors and combines is inherent to what we expect from them. If your open source tractor is essentially a tractor from 20 years ago without the fancy new tech then there's no market for it.
Just lookup how much tractors from before the "e-tractor era" go for. I'll break it to you, it's not a lot.

I think people who aren't involved with farming can't really comprehend the amount of technology involved and the savings that technology enables (and ultimately makes it worth it even if the equipment is more difficult/expensive to repair).

As an aside, we always hear complaints about John Deere and never other manufacturers. I wonder if it's because anti-corporate populism works better when it's targeted at a well known american brand or if John Deere is truely that bad. We don't have any modern John Deeres in my area but a few Case IH and Claas, and I've never heard any complaints.

Btw my point isn't to justify the anti-consumer behavior of some manufacturers, but to provide context as to why "an open source tractor" is a completely naive idea.
On second thought - I agree with you. Twitter is only a problem because companies/administrations listen to it as if a few people shouting on the internet were representative of the population in any way. Which in turn empowers those shouting the most.
Because they are so big. 10³ > 1,000, so in decimal, 2^57,885,161 - 1 has over 3 × 5,788,516 digits, so over 17 million.

You do not check whether that is a prime by trial division (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_division). If you could do a division every nanosecond and had a billion devices, that would still take way, way more time than till the heat death of the universe to do.

We have better tests (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primality_test#Fast_determinis...), but the best generic one still is Õ((log n)⁶). Here, log(n) is about 58 million, so that log(n)⁶ has over 46 digits.

We can do better, as we don’t need a generic test. for Mersenne numbers, there’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas–Lehmer_primality_test.
well, my Facebook is mostly that, with exception of hobby groups, local-ish groups and few meme pages (all of those are my choices).

Only thing that is not my choice are ads, though those are relatively benign (but I actively hide uninteresting ads or ads I don't want to see).
>On a note related to eye strain, but unrelated to blue light: the best solution I've found for eye strain is to wear reading glasses (or if you are near-sighted, glasses with an additional diopter or two) even if you don't need them. With the correct SPH value, the screen will be at optical infinity and your eyes will be fully relaxed.

This is interesting. I'm reminded of the oft repeated recommendation to "look away from your screen at something far away" every 15 mins. I wonder if you could just switch glasses to a prescription that make your eyes believe they are focusing on something at a distance. How would you figure out the right prescription for this use case?
I'm pretty sure 10x programmer was 10x the worst programmer, not 10x the average programmer. The average was something like 4x.

Yah the technology here is nothing novel, Hive, Kafka, Flink, Redis are around for years. What I find missing in the internet is that people who have been doing this for years are not writing about this. Uber has done a relatively good job on publishing how they build Michelangelo, but still, not enough details for outsiders to replicate.

Is this true in the US? It seems unreasonable.

What I've seen in the EU is that antibodies and frequent PCR testing are deemed just as acceptable as vaccination, and I think it makes sense.
I generally leave them be or take them outside. House centipedes are a different matter. Those are usually eliminated on sight.

I do have as a general rule that anything univited into the house I can do with as I want as a boundary issue. So sometimes things end up getting exterminated. But spiders don't really damage anything so I don't harm them.

You shouldn't, right up until the point you wrote something that for some reason takes off on Twitter and then you get your unrelated lecture cancelled or your employer gets calls or whatnot. And then you have no choice.
It's #2 with freedom for people to express themselves on the channels that will accept them and organize themselves over channels, even creating new ones if needed. That basically creates a marketplace of ideas, that I guess it's what you wanted from the beginning.

Weak bureaucrats are going to be the undoing of so many societies until the average person realizes that they do have genuine agency in (and a responsibility to) the world, and that the weak bureaucrat is unnecessary.
Wow. I always thought of mathematics this way, but I didn't understand it. Just... Wow. I had no words to speak it. I remember my struggles with group theory, when I had all the proofs, but it didn't make sense for me. Or elegant proofs which doesn't explain anything at all.

It seems somehow to boil down to a question of "why". Something is moral if it answers the question "why is it true". But to answer a why-question we need to rely on a causal model, and every person have his/her own causal model, so an answer may be different for different people. Though it may be the same for the most of people, because they share the same causal model or the relevant part of it. So a moral mathematician needs to know the accepted causal model and to fit moral explanations into it.

The only question remain: what is a causal model of mathematics. I mean, if we find all possible causal models for mathematics, then how we describe the set containing them all and only them.

> Perhaps the discomfort is just because of eyes having a hard time adjusting to noticeably different lighting conditions, but maybe there's more to it.

Personally I suspect it this. I’m not 100% of how exactly f.lux etc works, but I’ve always assumed they work by applying a full screen filter that basically just reduces the Blue channel values, and possibly tweaks the other channels a tad to keep things looking reasonable.

Of course on of the side effects of doing that would be reducing the total amount of light your screen emits, and I assume this has to be true, because red and green would end up clipping if they were boosted to keep the light output the same.

As the app applies removes more blue, it further dims the image, and when you turn it off if restores all the channels, which also increases the screens total light output. And you basically get the same effect as opening the curtains in the morning (assuming your working in darkish room), with the resulting eye discomfort while they adjust to the increased brightness.

Best way to test this would be use the apps, and modulate the screen backlight to compensate for the reduced blue level, so the total lux emitted remains constant. Then switching back and forth would let you figure out is your eyes are responding to the blue, or just the total light level.
Agreed with all of this, well put. I’d like to add though that we don’t do math just because we anticipate there will be some practical utility in a different field down the line. Mathematics isn’t merely a prerequisite for engineering. Does it not suffice that we study math for the sake of it?

The Mersenne primes for example are a delightful little mathematical object. IMO they are immediately curious and interesting. I am very grateful that we continue to make progress in understanding them.

An invited speaker could require a signed contract before accepting the invite. At a fairly small expense, some free speech advocate/org could have a contract drawn up that would protect invitees to some degree, pay to have a third party audit the contract (is contract auditing a thing?) to raise the chance that orgs with teams of lawyers find it acceptable, promote and market it, and then make it freely available to all.

That might or might not work, but there are many more ideas in the wings that could be tried.

He meant to say he just has to deal with absolutely wrong pieces and accept them as factual statements against Coinbase.
The word is still used in modern Greek to denote time. For example, you can say "καιρός να κόψω το τσιγάρο" to say that it's a good time for you to quit smoking.

And just for laughs, Greece being a country driven by tourism has many people who would attempt to communicate with tourists in English. As such, we have humorous mistranslations poking fun in those who try to speak English by translating the Greek phrase word for word, like "do you have weather for coffee?" because the Greek sentence is "έχεις καιρό για καφέ;" which can also easily be interpreted as "can you find an opening in your schedule to go for a cup of coffee with me?"
I suspect we've reached Peak Woke already, and the tide has started turning. With Trump out of power, they've lost the unifying hate figure to rally against, and many SV companies (mostly prominently Coinbase, but more quietly the FAANGs as well) are starting to show the loudest extremists the door.

All that said, academia is where this all started and where it's also going to stay on the longest.

Something is horribly wrong with your math.

0.000004 * 320,000,000 = 1,280 deaths for the entire USA.
Your higher estimate yields 10,240 deaths.
In reality we’ve had at least 700,000 deaths.

For those who are infected, the naive Case Fatality Rate is about 1-2%. See for example, https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid
There are reasons to suspect the real rate is lower in several countries - many places under test cases, so the denominator in deaths/cases is too small.

Additionally, this rate isn’t static - we were seeing upwards of 10% death rates before effective treatments became known and available.
iPhones with OLEDs and TrueTone can (and do) compensate for this.

The OLED removes the backlight, so no requirement to emit blue hues ever, and TrueTone matches the screens colour temperature to surrounding light sources, so colours look like should if the screen was a reflective surface, rather than an emissive surface.

I use https://github.com/danielfullmer/nixos-nvidia-vgpu
+ https://looking-glass.io/ very successfully

Can theoretically game on Linux and windows at same time with just a single gpu (2080 ti), mainly use it cause I only have single gpu and I don't want to loose hardware acceleration on Linux, the nixos module both applies a the vgpu unlocker for consumer graphic cards (so u can split a gpu in multiple virtual gpus) https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock

And merges it with the GeForce drivers so the host gpu does not stop having display output

And I just passthrough the vgpu and Xbox controllers to the vm with qemu and my main windows nvme disk (windows naturally just works inside and outside a vm for me, dual boot)
I used to think as you outlined here, and then I realised that I would only care if they made a Third Reich comparison that I disagreed with. If they said Milo is literally Hitler, I'd... well, I would have been very confused because Milo is a tasty chocolate drink. But I wouldn't have considered it an offense... so the offense wasn't actually the use of unspeakable comparisons, it was the sin of doing so while disagreeing with me!

So I try not to judge quite so quickly now, though I probably still fail plenty...

> "I must admit, if there was a guy giving a lecture at my institution, and I was informed that he had made a Third Reich comparison while talking about admissions criteria, I'd be pretty opposed to the lecture going on."

I believe that, broadly speaking, Hitler and Nazi references are beyond tired and cliche at this point. However, "disclaimers" such as this one are disappointing. Because silly Nazi references seem to be thrown around by everyone, and yet somehow it's only objectionable or worthy of challenge when the wrong people do it.
The article is probably cherry-picking something a-la [0] out of context. In short, in that specific case the largest healthcare provider in New York fired a small fraction of their total workforce because those people's choice to not vaccinate is putting other people's lives at risk. This is neither unprecedented nor unreasonable. This doesn't instil any kind of confidence in the rest of the writing.

I'd contest the "easily setup" bit in your post. You need a physical enclosed space with a lift or at least some mechanism to swap batteries which are likely to be 200-300kg each, it has to deal with rust and other shit that happens underneath the car. Then you likely need to move batteries around as demand changes. It's not at all like a charging station where the infrastructure is most of the time already there.

They don't have any power, other than to annoy the institution. The only power here is the power that MIT has over the people they book to speak, and since MIT doesn't want to be annoyed, they canceled the speaker.

You'll need car, cdr, cons, atom, and eq. You'll also need ratom and patom for input and output. That's 7 primitive functions.

To be able to define recursive functions, you'll also need cond, lambda, setq (or define), quote, and function. That's five special forms.

Then you have to write read, eval, apply, and print in your implementation language. That gives you a minimal interpreter. These four functions aren't primitives, but you have to write them and you might as well expose them to the user. Eval and apply call a few other functions which are generally useful, such as assoc, evlis and pairlis.

This excludes arithmetic functions and a whole lot of other stuff you'd need for your interpreter to be useful.

It's not really surprising.

Engineering (which most programming is) is the economic application of scientific knowledge for human value/advantage.

Thus that implies several things:

• the core engineering is defined by economics, psychology, sociology, etc. at least 50% with technical/scientific knowledge/skills being the other 50%

• the money engineering generates is subject to human need and preference which is why the above liberal arts areas matter

• competitive value to the customer defines all projects, all hires and all salaries and decisions are only partially rational even with rational R&D, buying and selling processes

• factors that define the negotiation of value for price involve soft sciences which are messy but completely unavoidable. Those of us who "excel" in those areas have realized this and learned skills related.

• all of this is what "business" actually is!

• thus if you do software seriously, you also should be serious about business - this is analogous to Alan Kay's quote: "people who are serious about software should build their own hardware".

If you want "purity", become a scientist - nominally they don't care about anything but the purity/attainment of knowledge. But that alone does NOT pay well. That's why there are 200+ PhDs in physics waiting for each US tenured university position but companies doing engineering can't get enough and pay for that.

Science is only 100 years old as a profession. Engineering is many 1000s of years old because it has practical application which everyone else in society can easily agree to fund.
