No. Raw materials of YInMn will never be cheap enough to compete with phthalo blue.

Chemical formula for phthalo blue is C32 H16 Cu N8
Of these, everything is super cheap and only Cu (Copper) really has any substantial cost.
1 kg of Copper (15.7 moles) is $10.
1 kg of hydrocarbons (~9 moles, Octane) is...about $0.48 at a US gas pump.

Chemical formula for YInMn blue is (loosely) Y In0.8 Mn0.2 O3 Of these, everything is super expensive and only the "O" (oxygen) is relatively cheap.
1 kg of Indium (8.7 moles) is over $600.

Doing some dimensional analysis with additional hidden molecular weights, you can make 1 kg (1.75 moles) of phthalo blue with less than $1-2 of raw materials. Currently the price of raw phthalo blue pigment is about $6 in bulk, so we can assume that processing costs about $4-5 per kg (65-80%), and the $1-2 of raw materials makes up 20-35%.

However, just the indium in 1kg (4.17 moles) of YInMn blue will cost you $275.

Now, this is twice as many moles vs phthalo blue so assuming (bad assumption) that you need roughly the same number of pigment molecules for visual perception you could get the equivalent "deepness" as 1kg of phthalo blue with half the weight of pigment ($140). But even if your Yttrium and Manganese were completely free, and processing cost you $0.00 per kilogram....you'd still be 10 times what the price of phthalo blue is in the current shortage!

Yttrium is $34/kg btw, so you'll need about $12 of this to make 1kg of YInMn.
Manganese is $2/kg and you'll only need about $0.10 of manganese to make 1kg of YInMn.
>> the aerodynamics would be different for something that huge

With such a large moving airfoil there are inefficiencies. Pretending that the wing is a solid object, very quickly the tips will be moving faster than the speed of sound. At such speeds void/shockwaves start to form, radically changing everything. The root of the wing is barely moving, the tips are supersonic, and somewhere along the middle is a transition zone that moves back and forth depending on speed. Good luck designing that airfoil. (This is what makes the TU-95 Bear so loud. Its propeller tips are supersonic while the rest of the aircraft isn't.)

There is a Russian saying about helicopters: You can place every problem in all aerodynamics on the tip of a rotor blade.
I remember hearing a story (maybe apocryphal) that after Larry and Sergey abandoned their "no managers" experiment, they decided to give each manager a minimum of 10 direct reports and preferably closer to 20 so that the manager wouldn't have time to micromanage any of them.
And stillsuits.
> Now we have changes that literally affect the entire application and require significant regression testing (automated and manual) because the risk surface is so much larger. This wouldn't have happened if we didn't use a lock file with pinned versions.

But without a lock file you would always be using the latest version, right?

Wouldn't those two years of constant possible breaking updates (would you know if something updates to the latest version? How do you manage that all versions are the same across all machines?) require a lot more regression testing over those entire two years and introduce a lot more risk of breakage?
>We have spent the last 50 years trying to automate our job away.

Yes I've heard it for 25 years. It's mostly low hanging fruit and it hasn't been done with auto-coding per-se, but more data drive architecture where a layman can do a basic website. Anything custom or sophisticated requires programming knowledge though, and since they are proprietary systems, it's a lot more expensive.
This seems like a super-biased view, and having sat on tons of promo committees for IC, ICTLM, and EngMgr for many years, i'd suggest to you it could not be more wrong.

Managers don't get promoted for growing teams. I've watched lots and lots of people who write "grew team from x to y" get feedback on their promo packet that this isn't, by itself, a valuable thing.

This person is the CEO of FlexPort, a startup that has been watching the efficiencies of the ports and the transport industry that interfaces with them slow to a crawl for months now. He has been tweeting out the size of the parking lot of ships outside of LA/LB port complex for months.

I think he has a pretty good understanding of the issues at least one or two degrees removed, but I think he is also just trying to unblock the critical path (the large cranes at the ports).

The other issues like “fully loaded cargo trains in North Dakota blocking the tracks because they can’t unload” need to be solved by others.

The Amazon’s Little Tipping Points
Besides, you run the real existential risk of getting your margin cannibalized by another startup or Amazon if you don't grow enough. In a world where you pay everyone a lot of money, the product is awesome, and there's no growth, there's a lot of margin in your product that someone is going to target - some subset of customers you aren't serving, or customers who aren't that loyal and willing to switch for 20-50% lower costs.

I'm not saying VC funding is a good thing; I largely think what we are seeing due to massive QE is malinvestment on a grand scale and is why you see dumb shit like Juicero.

But natural, bootstrapped growth is a good thing - and necessary, if you want to survive. Trending sideways is waiting for death on many fronts - your labor force being the largest one.
Nice link indeed... I might have come across it before, though must have been a long time ago. But it does highlight the economic issues here, a govt. program was needed to create machinery that might never have existed in a pure free-market environment. I now wonder if the big "One-Press"(its nickname) I worked with was a product of that program...

I love the concept of Mastodon, but I feel it inherits many of the problems of Twitter. I only used it for about a month, but I encountered far too much mob mentality and pearl clutching for my health and left. I like free discussion, and I feel the current Mastodon userbase means I'd have to host my own echo chamber to avoid theirs.

Yeah there is no simple answer for some of the monoliths. I have often wondered if they had a technique perhaps using vibrational energy to cut the rocks. Maybe they managed to find a vibrational frequency maybe by rubbing the rock with their stone tools in a certain way, or with water in between that would cut the rocks with ease.

I also saw a show once that said that in one of the Mexican sites they found an underground canal and a pool with mercury. Don't know if they somehow used that to cut their rocis.
Wow. Really beautiful ui. Didn't expect that from a rust project. Really shows how far that ecosystem is coming.
Even if they were trusted, it's still a horrific waste of resources. Maybe it's related to the insane trendchasing attitude ("gotta get the latest!!!!!111") that has infected JS/web development. Combine that with "free" cloud CI services and the general spreading stupidity of not knowing where the data actually is or what's going on (popularity of "quick tutorials" that have completely clueless noobs running one-line commands which can silently manipulate gigabytes of data), and it's not hard to see the result.
I didn't say you get promoted for growing a team, I said you easily get promoted when you manage a lot of people.

Everybody involved is already being paid to get the containers to where they're supposed to go. Plus the specific incentives you suggest seem like they'd discourage any trucks from even coming to the port
Move fast and break things doesn't work so well with things like the supply chain. We don't have a good qa env.
Yeah, it's horribly inefficient to do this (flapping wings) at larger sizes. Birds, bats, insects actually evolved to flap less as they get larger: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Wingbeat-frequency-versu...

A condor with a 10-ft wingspan might not flap for hours - so it glides, just like an airplane: https://www.sciencealert.com/giant-andean-condors-can-fly-fo...

A hummingbird (4 inch wingspan) flaps at 60 Hz though. It can hover too, just like an insect.
Maybe the software world can learn something about planning long and planning ahead
I'm sad... I used like their slogan Don't be evil. Now it's like when Napoleon the pig in Animal Farm relabels it to 4 legs are good, but 2 legs are better.
Simple capitalism is what causes the problem. The capitalist looks at all the buffers and safeguards and regulation of a system and thinks that could all be thrown out for higher profits. That appears to work, until it stops working. It is the same reason Texas has cheap electricity until suddenly without warning they have no electricity.

Planning and regulation and bureaucracy prevent these problems, at the cost of slightly higher prices due to the system not being really 'optimal' in the steady state.

I’m also surprised at the lack of competition. I’ve been using Tabnine since last summer.

Tabnine was so compelling I posted here not long after using it that AI-based code completion was being slept on, because it was obviously so much better than what the IDE could do. [1]

I pointed out that Microsoft was uniquely positioned to offer superior code completion services due to its fire-hose access to new code on GitHub.

Interestingly, the top reply from ptx was their “hope we'll also see a strong counter-movement of simple tools for independent developers.” Which is just what Code Clippy seems to attempt.

I continue to think AI-based code completion and AI assisted code quality recommendation services will be the differentiator as so much of IDE features are commoditized.

The big missing party in my view is Apple with Xcode. Not only do I think Xcode needs it’s own local-capable AI code completion, I think Apple needs a semi-social GitHub-like repository service of its own to help feed this AI.

“more active role”
More than what? Do you have any evidence the relevant actors are not trying to source containers any way they can?

Right now empty containers are 5x-10x their pre-COVID cost in Chinese ports. That’s how prices work in a market system. Perhaps there are non-market forces at work or perhaps the scale of the problem just requires more incentive before it becomes worth while to charter an expensive ship to bring containers back to China.
No test? No validation whatsoever?
Ah, found this: “Consistent with behavioral models, Photo Pessimism predicts market return reversals and trading volume. The relation is strongest among stocks with high limits to arbitrage and during periods of elevated fear.”

Anybody who is a bit familiar with the stock market knows that highly arbitraged stocks tend to fluctuate greatly with bad news. The effect here is magnified so it’s easy to say there is a correlation. But by no way it can represent the market sentiment as a whole. And IMO it doesn’t speak for the value of the model.
I'm not sure being left libertarian is compatible with being a CEO as left libertarianism calls for abolishing private ownership of the means of production... (maybe elected CEO of a coop might be compatible with those views? either way, nothing like what Twitter is doing)
There are some systems that don't have a capacity for self-regulation, and this is not solved by believing really hard that if left alone they would. This will need intervention if we don't want to just burn money to let time solve it.
Doesn't npm have a facility to tell it to download releases directly from source? Most package managers have in one form or the other, but I'm not very familiar with npm.

To be honest I'm not sure if npm (the service, not the tool) and similar services really add all that much value. The only potential downside I see is that repos can disappear, but then again, npm packages can also disappear. I'd rather just fetch directly from the source.

This is how Go does it and I find it works quite well. It does have the GOPROXY now, but that's just an automatic cache managed by the Go team (not something where you can "login" or anything like that), so that already reduces the risk, and it's also quite easy to outright bypass by setting GOPROXY=direct.
The state legislature can strip Long Beach of its status as a charter city, but I think it would take a much more serious crisis than this to cause that. After all, every city across the state has participated in causing a housing crisis through poor zoning and the legislature hasn't brandished its powers at all.
It felt like my soul was leaving my body at the end! Maybe it’s just because I don’t handle heights that well though
You're partly right: With a significant number of reports, you can't keep juggling all the balls yourself. But what varies is how that handled?

A micromanager will be absolutely crushed by a high number of reports. In fact 10+ years at Google, managers intentionally had a large number of directs so they couldn't micromanage.

If you have a pretty autonomous team, strong tech leads, can delegate, ~20 still isn't great, but it's not horrible. It's not the steady state you want, but it's doable for a few quarters.
I looked up that part. Indeed there are two of the "guild agents, one tall and fat, one short and fat" as part of the entourage, and they are referred to in the text as Guildsmen. Paul asks them if they are both navigators and they reply with yes. And yeah they are revealed to have blue eyes, so I think this is correct. However, later books do describe the tanks in which the navigators live.

The dune wiki says that Herbert apparently liked how the navigators were depicted in the movie so he added their description to his last Dune book "Chapterhouse Dune". But even earlier books described the guild navigators as humanoid fish in a tank.

Apparently the explanation for these different forms is that there is a progression, where the guild navigators start out looking like humans, and eventually they look like the two in the Lynch movie.

https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Guild_Navigator#Physical_Descri...

So what I said about the navigators not appearing at all was wrong, as they do appear in the first book, but they appear only way later in the story.

You can generate a posterior distribution for any overdetermined problem. Basically, any scientific problem, as they must infer models inputs (parameteric or non-parametric) from observed model outputs (data).

Determinism is a nice illusion that quickly breaks down on real data. Scientific problems are non-unique and noise or inadequate models cause data and model to not mesh with one another. Deterministic answers have the property of being precisely wrong as opposed to mostly correct.
Reddit, like HN, have “deniability” though. It’s the users that are doing it, the users control the front page, not some fancy engagement algorithm.

Well I find it surprising. I was at the height of my music-buying as a teen and young adult in the 1980s/1990s and I never bought music on cassette, nor did any of my friends. We bought vinyl, made our own cassettes for the car, and switched to CD when that format came out.

It's in the Twitter thread, to do a port pickup you have to wait days at the port because they're so slow, (because of the traffic jam of containers), truckers are choosing to do pickups elsewhere that doesn't involve waiting for two days to get their load on.

They're paid by the load, so sitting idle is a non option.

I bought a cheap PS/2 to USB adapter off of Amazon to get a Model M working with a modern computer. I wanted it to work on both my PC desktop, which has a PS/2 connector, and my Macbook, which doesn't.

The adapter I bought was complete junk and didn't seem to work correctly, but I had some Pro Micros lying around (about $5 a piece) and managed to flash them with the Soarer's Converter firmware. Then I cut the 2 PS/2 connectors off of the cheap adapter and soldered them to the correct pins on the Pro Micros, and I ended up with 2 converter cables that worked just fine.

If you want cables that don't look like you built them, you can find Soarer's Converter cables on eBay that look professionally made.
