> when they hear the word "Rittenhouse" due to the ongoing US culture war

I think that's an oversimplification. Rittenhouse's decision to show up there armed was due to the partisan division and demonization.

Rittenhouse showing up armed and killing two people is a product of the stoked polarization.
Accounting adjustments, see https://taskandpurpose.com/news/pentagon-35-trillion/ (one of many sources)

“It means money that DoD moved from one part of the budget to another,” Clark explained to Task & Purpose. “So, like in your household budget: It would be like moving money from checking, to savings, to your 401K, to your credit card, and then back.”

However, $35 trillion is close to 50-times the size of the Pentagon's 2019 budget, so that means every dollar the Defense Department received from Congress was moved up to 50 times before it was actually spent, Clark said.
> if I were to do that I would still feel like a massive screw-up for going back to university in my 30s

There's no shame in this; I'm wondering where you got this feeling for, especially, because radical changes in 30s/40s are generally considered success stories (when successful, of course ;)).

> until I came to university, where I could never seem to care about the course material or putting effort into my classes [...] But then I look around and see the cool jobs in 3D graphics, in distributed systems, in machine learning, or other "hard computer science" fields, and it feels like I will never be qualified without a graduate degree.

There's a big risk here of liking the idea of something more than something itself. The yellow flag here is that if one likes "hard CS problems", they'd find the CS university subjects tendentially interesting, or anyway, worth completing. Of course there are exceptions, but it's worth thinking about it.

> Putting my career on hold for a few years to go back to school has a very high opportunity cost right now

If your current career is not the one you want, you're paying a "very high" opportunity cost by not changing it.

This assumes that it's not an economical problem, but I read "opportunity cost", so it seems it isn't. To be kept in mind that taking a 3 years break for work, for education, especially in the early 30s, does no harm to the career.

This is particularly timely for me, since we covered Measure What Matters, the book mentioned in the blog post on OKRs, on an episode of our podcast that came out last weekend.[0]

I think you can sum up some of this blog post as discussing the difference between strategy and tactics. OKRs are tactical objectives that help you achieve your strategic goals. Is that a fair summary?

F1 cars really unreliable and need a lot of engineers to keep running, are very expensive, and completely impractical in normal use. They are fast but only on very specific roads, they couldn't survive on normal roads.

I think that any country using links like this ought to have emergency backup power systems. I think this is actually a reasonable use of coal and/or natural gas: keep the infrastructure maintained and have it ready to take over if there's an emergency, but otherwise it sits idle. In most cases you wouldn't even have to build new plants, you'd just keep the old ones around that were displaced by renewables. (Though over time you may need to build additional plants as electric usage grows.)

Ideally you'd have some sort of international agreement that any fossil fuels used would be subject to a high carbon tax, so there'd be less temptation to just declare an emergency for no reason. But that would require more international cooperation on climate than what we've seen so far.

I think you misunderstand me.

What I mean is: when an inexperienced person compares a scallion pancake to a pizza, or compares a scallion pancake to a taco, the two foods are obviously very different. But when an inexperienced person compares a mediocre scallion pancake to a great one, eaten on different days, it may be hard to remember the differences.

Likewise, someone has rarely eaten pizza might consider a good Neapolitan pizza to be broadly similar to a Domino's pizza, whereas someone who has pizza all the time will notice many differences between the two.

If you and Kiro could just recognize that different people can understand that sentence in different ways, we wouldn't be there, but instead you like to proclaim that "no one is saying anything about" and "what's being disputed is" and other "that other person definitely said"

Location isn’t fungible, people generally need to be geographically located close to their work, family, etc.

What makes more sense, for the state of California to massively increase teachers salaries just so they can afford a basic house, or allow yourself to have a few more neighbors?

At this point it’s pretty obvious what your answer will be so consider that a rhetorical question.
I was in the exact same position. I found a university program which allowed me to get MS in Computer Science mostly online. I took me 3 years, but I did this in parralel with may day job while having 2 kids at home. I think it was well worth it and I encourage you to try.

As long as you going to invest all this time and money, do it with recognizable university, not some online only program.

Your company may agree to pay part of it. US companies have some tax writeoff for employee education so it is basically free to them (up to some limit). It is usually not enough to cover the full tuition but still helps.

Yes, it is a privilege that won't be available to me (since I don't plan on having any kids), but I believe these benefits are good for the children, which is ultimately good for society.

And sure, as a non-parent I can't take a multi-month long vacation every year, but even as a recent graduate I get 25 paid vacation days per year (5 of which can be saved for a few years). So long vacations aren't a pipe dream for non-parents.

And with the way the economy currently works and the gradually increasing life expectancy, increasing the birth rate is a good thing, and generous parental benefits are a way to encourage that. I personally think it would be best if society/the economy wasn't dependant on an increasing population, but that's a separate conversation.
The change is in the Spec ie., allowing cloud storage and the metric itself causing the major version update, not in the datagen binaries.
Yes, I think you're right.

Another way to look at it, is through the "long now" lens--like, what software will survive maybe 100 or 1000 years from today? I think companies and closed-source software will die in that length of time, while open source will persist. That doesn't help us now though.

Another observation: Linux does eventually settle on standards, but the "maturation timeline" is so much longer than Mac/Windows (10 years?) that nothing "cool" (from a commercial perspective) happens on desktop Linux. But it does eventually work out--like the systemd standard that has emerged in the past decade, or Wayland (probably still 2 years away), or pipewire audio (also probably a year away).

Linux enables a complementary but different type of 'support': bleeding-edge homebrew experimentation (see the many raving custom keyboard fans and their software, for example), and wrap-everything products (such as Steam using Linux inside for their latest gaming console).
> written by a team constructed by a label to create the most generically likeable music possible, edited to the point where it doesn't matter that the models are bad singers.

Maybe it is just the case where team of experts created music many people like. People really don't mind generic when serving foods daydreaming or eating. Generic is often better, because it won't break flow of what they are doing.
I though I most likely agree that a seed round at $100M is a bit ridiculous, I'm curious about a few things.

Are people really raising a "seed" at $100M with only $1M investment? I would assume these sorts of companies were in the space industry or something similar where they don't get anywhere without hundreds of millions and a seed would look more like $25M

What sorts of companies are raising at these sorts of valuations, and what stage are they really at? Fred suggests that a seed means they don't yet have PMF, but perhaps that isn't correct in the cases he's seeing.
Interesting. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

It sounds like the differences are unlikely to be encountered in conventional config files, especially those written by hand.

From that link I understand the source of problems to be:

Object keys longer than 1024 "stream characters". But these wouldn't be valid in any other yaml syntax either.

Some Unicode characters in strings (characters outside of BMP).

Like the post but I would add "Ford v Ferrari" there. A synthetic 100T test is much like an F1 course - not something you deal with during your commute, but it's nice to know what the limit is, and that there are people pushing that limit.
Out of curiosity, why did people downvote this comment? I find that it states a very valid concern in our digital age where information can be very effectively suppressed from the majority of people, regardless if I agree or disagree with the message of said information.
You say expand to 70% for 10% of the time. You mean you want to multiply several times over the number of generator halls, penstocks, turbines, generators, and water outflow from existing hydro schemes? There isn't the space for all that. And the cost would be astronomical. Plus the environmental impact of having several times the outflow from most dams at full power would be incredible. You could maybe at a stretch 1.5x it across the US on average. But most plans to expand hydro scheme output around the developed world get met with incredible resistance.
> Again, saying "other countries do it" isn't really an answer.

It very much is part of the answer as it gives successful examples and as such proof how it's very much realistic to achieve, if effort was actually put into it.

Which is a much more constructive PoV than acting like even American problems are so exceptional that all of them need equally exceptional and unique solutions that no other country before could have figured out.

Indeed, that's why between Greece, Mexico and the US I would easily chose Greece, which has nearly half of the infant mortality rate of the US [0].

I think they mean unbiased by the giant advertising agencies through which all major media's takes are filtered through. If you're watching CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc, you're watching what their advertisers approve of. And usually that approval is "The hottest take that, causes the most angry tweets, that gets the most views, of our dish soap." But also sometimes corporate politics bleeds through. Like you the WaPo ignoring or soft-pedaling Amazon stories.
That is true. IBM literally outlived its competitors, though. It's somewhat sad to see this technology fading away due to greed.

I wonder if the same is going to happen with newer companies, the software reinvented again. Had we have copyright lasting only for 20 years (like patents), it would be possible to legally run first version of z/OS today.
With this proposal the variants are simply types themselves, so you'd have a struct Ok[T] and Err [T], and thus Result<T, E> would be something like

interface Result[T, E] {
for Ok[T], Err[E]
}

And there’s no issue with having T=string and E=string.
The problem is not the term "imaginary", the problem is the term "number. Unlike any other numbers imaginary numbers cannot be ordered by size. So in that sense they are not numbers at all. In fact they represent rotations in two dimensions. They should be better called rotation operators instead of imaginary numbers.

> Private, un-accountable entities deciding who deserves help and who does not is feudalism, not democracy

No, it isn't, it's freedom. Your definition of "democracy" is basically that if a 50.1% majority feels like it, they can commandeer your resources as they see fit. That is tyranny, not democracy.

> We already have this issue with religious/-associated organizations denying help to LGBT or nationalist organizations denying help to non-Whites.

If you think there are people who deserve help and are not being helped by existing organizations, you start an organization to help them. If a democratic majority agrees with you that those people deserve help and aren't getting it, you'll have no trouble getting donations.

> Government-ran operations may have their deficits, yes, but at least they are mandated to be available equally to all persons meeting the democratically decided criteria!

And if you think government-run programs actually do what the "democratically decided criteria" say they are supposed to do, I have some oceanfront property in Nebraska I'd like to sell you. Anyone who has actually had to deal with these government-run programs (as my wife and I have for years, both on behalf of friends who are constantly getting the runaround from bureaucratic screw-ups and from my wife's experience as a social worker) will tell you that they are terrible at actually helping people.
I want to understand why you think it is a scam. From the very first moment I bought my first sats I knew these would be super valuable, probably the most valuable thing I would ever own.

If you're on Windows just download Visual Studio 2022, it will install everything you need.
Yeah, the standard solution is to create a newtype for each such variant. I believe this is the preferred idiom in languages like TypeScript that have union types but not discriminated union types.
I don't think companies should be involved in people's personal lives at all, it's out of scope. The state is the only one that can subsidise a particular constellation of family life. You would open up to all kind of different excuses for why people should get special treatment in the work place because of their private life.
:) That is a good question. Why spend eng cycles to submit results to the TPC council - why not just focus on customers?

I believe the co-founders have addressed this in the blog.

> Our goal was to dispel the myth that Data Lakehouse cannot have best-in-class price and performance. Rather than making our own benchmarks, we sought the truth and participated in the official TPC benchmark.

I'm sure anybody seriously looking at evaluating data platforms would want to look at things holistically. There are different dimensions like open ecosystem, support for machine learning, performance etc. And different teams evaluating these platforms would stack rank them in different orders.

These blogs, I believe, show that Databricks is a viable choice for customers when performance is a top priority (along with other dimensions). That IMO is customer obsession.

>and promoting unrest in Eastern Ukraine to make NATO hesitant to accept Ukraine's bid to join NATO

I stayed in Odessa a couple of years after the Maidan with an elderly (ethnic Russian) couple who ranted at me for five minutes straight about "the idiots in Kyiv". They all but endorsed the separatists in Donetsk. They supported the protesters initially "when it was about corruption and living standards", but never desired closer integration with the EU and desperately wished that the value of their savings hadn't plunged 80% as a result of the "coup"/"spontaneous uprising of freedom lovers"

I suppose it's always possible that this elderly couple were shadowy agents of Putin sent there to destabilize the country with a "fairly gross" misunderstanding of their own life. No doubt say, the Washington Post would see the bogeyman of Putin hovering there, as it usually does.

Nonetheless, I believe that their fury was real and shared by quite a large proportion of the rest of Ukraine (albeit more in, say, the east and less in, say, Lviv).
I use MacOS for work - I think it's a fine OS. Biggest thing for me is that it's UNIX based.

I wouldn't use a MacBook myself though. They certainly are damn fine machines for the price (M1), but I really don't like MacOS having a bunch of stuff I don't need, like Garage Band. I know Windows has a ton of bloat as well, and MacOS's bloat is more useful, generally speaking. It's not for most people, but any popular user friendly Linux distro like Ubuntu has little bloat. Unfortunately, those aren't as user friendly as MacOS or Windows (I assume this will garner some opposing opinions).

Lucid Motors 3Q 2021 earnings
Dunno, say a species starts to inhabit say 10% of a galaxy. They aren't particularly susceptible to losing a single planet and are smart (and advanced enough) to mitigate problems with the pesky upstarts.

Without FTL communications it's likely to be more of an organization than a single government, think NATO for space. Agreements for unified defense for a small fraction of the GNP or similar.

They might for instance require all ships have transponders (like ships and planes do today). Have a self replicating robot sensor that maintains the ideal density of sensors for say 1000 light years around their space (much like the current submarine sensor networks and sats monitors earth and it's oceans). Said sensors would track all ships within range, and any energy expenditures capable of accelerating mass up near the speed of light.

They would of course track their competition, but it would be far from easy for a small upstart to seriously annoy such a civilization. Even for two civilizations that each have 10% of the galaxy it wouldn't make particularly sense for them to go to war, much like today's MAD uses nukes to prevent (so far) WW3.

Not to mention hitting a planet isn't that easy unless it's on a pretty short timescale, any civilization that can launch ships at a decent fraction of light speed could likely change their planets orbital speed by 0.01% if they thought there was likely a extinction level event was heading their way in the next few decades.
