I remember visiting a port in Cartagena (Colombia) well before the pandemic where they gave us a presentation highlighting that due to the inefficiencies of American ports, ports nearby the Panama Canal can do business simply by transporting containers from Panamax ships to smaller ships simply because American ports can't process as many containers. The presenter seemed proud that Cartagena was able to unload and reload more ships as Miami or LA/Long Beach in a given day.

The reason they said was due to automation and "forward looking technologies", and said that American ports were riddled with unions and refusals to automate. It seems like this has been a long time coming.
I'm not saying it's uniform, as always you only need a couple of integrations.

With enough money you can actually go to such a “simulator”. There are these guys that run older F1 cars on tracks. The teams provide pit crews and everything else. If you can afford it, definitely a nice hobby!

I got to drive a car with aerodynamic downforce only once and it’s super impressive to feel how it works better the faster you go. Cornering with 2g is also pretty nice.

This article seems all over the place and I don't agree with most of it.

>For one thing, there are autos all over Paris, so at least in principle it ought to be possible to build in ways that are both highly attractive and allow for cars.

The boulevards and avenues of Paris were built by the government as infrastructure improvements and became known for their use as long parks, effectively; yes, they were built to be scenic, and the fact that they're wide enough for car traffic is a nice side effect. Modern automotive architecture, though, goes further; you need parking lots or garages, and large signage visible from the road. Developers don't really care that a roadside commercial development looks pretty; people are going to drive to Target all the same. And, of course, let's not forget that Paris wants to limit automobile traffic as much as possible.

> Diamond Head may also contain a partial answer to the larger mystery. Perhaps what modern neighborhoods are lacking is coordination...

If we're using Diamond Head as our benchmark, it looks like what most modern neighborhoods are lacking is millionaires, not coordination. Your average suburban development is going to be quite tightly coordinated: built by a single builder out of a book of facades, floorplans, and materials.

> These days, most homeowners decide to “go it alone.”

Who is "most," here? I don't think most homeowners are building custom homes; heck, a quick source I found shows that only 13% of home buyers in 2020 bought new construction[0].

The only thing I agree with here is that homes are designed around the interior first. Look at any suburban sprawl house, and you'll see a hideous mishmash of materials, window shapes and sizes, and rooflines--especially when you go past the front of the house and start looking at the parts you can't see from the street.

Opposite for me. I often wish I could end verbal meetings and send a note instead.
Sometimes to reach a goal we want in life, we have to do things we find unpleasant.

It is what it is. There’s a time to change the world, and a time to just put in the work.

Software interviews are a pretty low on the list of impactful things to take personally.

30 years ago to reach the equivalent level of compensation required being born into a family that got you into the right prep school, taught you to aim for Law or Medicine, carefully controlling your grades for 18 years, getting through 4+3 years for law and getting into a top 10 school to be able to get into a white shoe firm, or 4+4+5 years for Medicine.

Now, for us nerds who like computering, quite literally a few months of leetcode can catapult you into $500,000 per year at a top 5 in the world company.

Those who want it enough find a way to get it done.

There are quite a few branching subthreads talking about the spread of different diseases, different living conditions leading to different immunity levels, and all sorts of ideas around why it didn't seem to spread deadly illnesses back to Europe as much as Europeans spread deadly ones to the Americas. One I don't see much about is that in the initial exploration, settlement, and colonizing groups the traffic of Europeans was largely one way and screened for serious diseases as best they could before being allowed on a ship.

If Europeans became deathly ill in the Americas, they were probably left in the Americas to die rather than being taken back to Europe. The First Peoples from the Americas were not on average traveling to Europe and staying there for months, years, or lifetimes. They were staying among people in the Americas where they could continue to spread the illnesses. Healthy young soldiers, sailors, and merchants could bring both asymptomatic and presymptomatic cases of illness across an ocean to populations who weren't traveling nearly as much in the opposite direction. When entire colonies of mixed ages, genders, professions, and social roles moved permanently from Europe to the Americas, likewise the trips back to Europe also for former Europeans were far less common and included far fewer than the number of people continuing to interact with others in the Americas.

In short, it was probably easier for mass migrations of Europeans to spread one or more cases of a disease to the Americas where it then spread from more prolonged contact with the population than it was for a European to contract a serious illness in the Americas and take it back to Europe on a military or merchant ship.

As to the Norse and smallpox, the Crusades of the late 11th century and the 12th century were a big part of its spread to most of Europe. There's a very good chance I think there was little risk of a Norse ship spreading it in the early 11th century. As you said, it could be a very different world if they had.
Hmm, I would say my experience with gPlay is that the signal-to-noise ratio is very high, often even when you specifically know what you're after, it can be hard to find the app you want and not an imitator. It also goes to great lengths to get promo/featured apps and games in front of you, no matter what. Also the filtering leaves a lot to be desired, for example there's no way to look for a game that has no advertising and no IAP, just a purchase price (the cynic in me assumes that's because of Google's priorities). The Apple App Store (I only deal with it on macOS) has fewer, better apps, but even less filtering/sorting, and maddeningly no kind of wishlist/bookmark, so I sometimes see something passing and mean to check it out, but then can't remember and never try again.

The issue with this is that in the limit it just makes the insurance premium exactly equal the payout + some margin. Some of the point of insurance is cost sharing of extreme events.

It's perhaps a little better when we are talking about behaviors that are entirely under the driver's control, but gets potentially ugly if for example someone has slower reaction time due to genetics or health and thus gets priced out of insurance.
These kinds of responses infuriate me. I also get so frustrated by so much of the media taking the line of "This was just Silicon Valley's 'Fake it til you make it' culture taken to the extreme."

Nonsense. I've worked in startups my entire 20+ year career, and while we've certainly spun or promoted things to the extreme, the line of "outright lying" was never gray.

Take for example the initial iPhone demo by Steve Jobs. It's been mentioned many times before that the demo had to be run in a specific, exact order, or else the OS would crash. That's fine, but nothing in those demos were faked. It all did exactly what he demoed, live. It would have been a much different story, if, for example, Jobs just demoed a video with surreptitious pause and play buttons. That would have been fraud, and that's much less than what Theranos faked here.
The title maybe should be enhanced to: "What is the Unicode unit of a text column number?"

Just throwing this out there:

"Specifically, children from low SES families scored on average 6 IQ points lower at age 2 than children from high SES backgrounds; by age 16, this difference had almost tripled.
...
Overall, SES was shown to be associated with individual differences in intercepts as well as slopes of intelligence. However, this finding does not warrant causal interpretations of the relationship between SES and the development of intelligence." [1]

This looks cool. I like the way you can access both a literal translation (by clicking a word) and also a more natural one.

Strictly from a hardware POV. That wasn’t intended to be praise for Apple, but rather an indictment of the industry at large that Apple designed hardware that is easier to extend trust to.

> Something like 1% of people receiving inoculation would develop full-blown smallpox. No vaccine courts for those folks.

They at least got the benefit of being inoculated against a virus which would have a 30% chance of killing them. This made it very likely for the inoculations to be positive risk tradeoff for all the troops who were ordered to get them. The same is not necessarily true for a healthy 19 year old without comorbidities who is forced to get a Covid vaccination to attend college.

Another point of contrast is that smallpox inoculation was sterilizing and prevented the inoculated from being able to spread the disease.
I don't think replacing a workstation with a Macbook because of RAM makes too much sense: If running one minibatch of your model already takes up all the memory you have, where would the rest of your training data sit? In the M1, you don't have a separate main memory.

Also, software support for accelerated training on Apple hardware is extremely limited: Out of the main frameworks, only tensorflow seems to target it, and even there, the issues you'll face won't be high on the priority list.

I know that nvidia GPUs are very expensive, but if you're really serious about training a large model, the only alternative would be paying rent to Google.

You say this as the Ford F-150 Lighting is about to drop and there is a waiting list for the Ford Mach-E. I think the market is vastly underestimating the large incumbents ability to pivot into this sector and lower costs by leveraging their supply chain and scale.

Honestly, this looks amazing for times when I'm in a meeting and want to look a piece of more complex code but don't have a local copy of the repo.

I'm aware of the euphemism treadmill. What I don't understand is why we cater to the sensitivities of the people who keep it going. Names for things should be as clear, unambiguous, and, crucially, permanent as possible. We have a hard enough time communicating as-is. The constant change and inconsistent versioning of the protocol does far more harm than good.

Not without a sandbox escape, at which point you often have more juicy targets without even getting to root (e.g., bank account credentials). The attack requires the ability to open a terminal device and do strange ioctls on it. Web browsers don't open terminal devices at all, so you are pretty unlikely to induce the browser to reuse parts of its code to do it; you'd need the ability to run arbitrary code.
Potentially, but not necessarily supported by the article.

Simpson's paradox requires that you be looking at averages. An example would be if you compared average salaries of SF vs. Austin, and both tech and non-tech salaries were rising in both places, but tech workers were moving from SF to Austin so the average includes relatively fewer tech workers in SF and relatively more in Austin. The article is comparing specifically tech salaries, so it's free from this sort of bias.

It could have a similar bias by virtue of all being collected from Hired, though. Top tech companies do not use Hired. Hot startups generally do not use Hired. Mid- and low-tier tech companies that want to outsource their interview processes use Hired. If these are also primarily the companies that are going remote-first or moving their engineers to Austin or SD, you would expect to see tech salaries rise in those locations and fall in HCOL regions like the Bay Area. It's a real effect, but not necessarily reflective of the whole industry, which includes a number of large and very high-paying employees that aren't in the dataset because they don't use Hired.

> Would you like to give hTime a go and test it for some days?

Perhaps... but to be perfectly honest, I haven't yet decided if I love or hate this idea yet.

To give you an idea about how I'm thinking of this, first and foremost hTime is a time format, meaning it's just some mapping of letters to a local time's hour. The most interesting part to me is that, since I read left to right, I also see the locale information first as opposed to last. You can rightfully argue that the locale is needed to interpret the rest of the time, so this is the correct way to format world times. On the other hand, world times are the same as local times for everyone within earshot of me, so I would never bother prefixing things locally.

Secondly, it's a tool for helping people with world clocks and scheduling.

My concern is that there are better solutions to the first thing, despite any improvements made to the second. For example, would it not be better to simply prefix the timezone information directly? For example, it's currently Z22:36. We do use more characters, especially if we want to be able to extend this to local times too (e.g. +5-03:36). I might be tempted to start trying to lay this out so the math works out for (+5) adding directly to the hour as 5+03:36 = Z22:36, but now I realize a larger problem with all this... dates.

Placing the offset in the middle of the full time string 2021-10-20 together with 22:36 requires thought. I'm tempted to like it, because the timezone offset is obviously much more related to the time than the date, but moving it closer to the date really couldn't hurt, could it?

Take either hTime, or my example:

- 2021-10-20+5-03:36

- 2021-10-20Z22:36

- 2021-10-20Q:36

We just replace the 'T' in ISO-8601 with the 'Z' part or with nothing before an hTime. Now I get to complain that 'Z' looks way too much like 2... Meanwhile https://thehtime.com/ hasn't loaded and I can't remember the mapping for the current time, so I don't think I've written my example consistently.

I think that's the part of hTime I like the least. I have no hope of decoding it without knowing what it is. Meanwhile an 8601 datetime stamp can be somewhat inferred. So to quote you, if I may, "[the] main thing is we find a good way to get rid of time zone math!". But we can't get rid of the time zone math... it's just either arithmetic, or a special code.

Anyway, I'm just bored right now over here thinking on paper. Always glad to hear that my feedback is somewhat useful. Thanks.

I certainly haven't tried extensively yet, so I'm really just speculating here. I think one of the growing challenges to objectively and critically thinking through issues in the West (particularly America) is the growing obsession with 'groups' over 'individuals'.

America seems to be rekindling a bent for things like racial essentialism and wanting to bring the idea of identity groups to the forefront of any conversation on anything. This tendency has a way of clouding the underlying reality on any given issue. Culturally, there is an expectation that you must reinforce these ideas in conversation, and pay lip service to the group-based narratives or else be labeled a 'group-ist'. It then becomes very difficult to actually talk about the underlying principles and factors at play on any given issue.

My personal take is you have to sort of utilize this group-based thinking yourself as a sort of trojan horse, to then attempt to highlight the true underlying principles/factors at play in the conversation. It's a way to sort of short-circuit the uncritical thinking that many have around issues of the day.

Bullshit. Very few doctors behave this way and it's generally any better tolerated in a healthcare workplace than in any other workplace. This is a media construct designed as a scapegoat for the many failures of the american healthcare system. The greatest trick corporate healthcare systems ever played was convincing everyone that physicians are the villains and not the mega-corp that's bleeding every penny out of healthcare.

I don't know about that. Sure, the F-150 is a nice option but what is Ford doing in terms of self driving. Tesla is tackling multiple issues at the same time, most car companies playing catch up usually just care about the EV part but not the self driving aspect. In 5 years Tesla will still be the dominant EV imo because feature wise their cars will be so far ahead of everyone else.
