Your numbers are off, for a start. Neuron count is in the order of hundreds of thousands to millions for the more socially complex species, including the Asian giant hornet. These are known to have cognitive abilities that might surprise you, including in many species the ability to recognize familiar conspecifics by sight. And in any case, why shouldn't that size of brain be enough to sustain a personality? They aren't clones, after all, except in rare cases, and even then you have to take mutation, epigenetics, and developmental effects into account.

But hey, I'm not the one implicitly advancing the claim that anything not clever enough to be human is a meat robot. You're the one doing that, and so far you've done nothing but assert it. Why don't you source it and actually defend it, instead? Until then I don't see why anyone should take it all that seriously.

I am a manager of managers.

Haven't taken any vacations of more than 5 days since 2011.

Constantly worry about my technical skills becoming obsolete - hence I have to do coding on the side.

Constantly worry about whether my managers will practice what I preach (kindness, coaching, caring, etc.) with their team.

Constantly worry about multiple deadlines for multiple projects, all under my responsibility but not direct control (I'm not a direct manager).

Hire 10-15 people at a time, campaign for some of them, they disappoint, become a burden for others and risk destroying the team - have to worry about that as well.

Get an e-mail at 10pm on a Friday that your best developer has been hired by Google at 2x the pay and there's nothing I can do about it. Another e-mail at Monday 11am saying that your worst developer has ALSO been hired by Google at 2x the pay. Spend 24/7/365 on how to prevent your entire team from jumping ship because of pay I cannot match.

Worry about managing up, sideways, down, and in the fourth dimension as well.

Kill to just be a developer, step back into IC role. Do well, less stress, gets asked to become a manager again because the previous 3 have been a disaster and the team elected you.

Go back to #1, rinse, repeat.

Your feed is made up of the content written by people you're connected to.

If you see only the cringe posts then you follow the wrong people. I am in marketing and so I follow lot of great growth people, content marketers, copywriters, performance folks and as I am not a deep expert in all these sub-categories of marketing I quite often find super valuable content posted by my connections. Frameworks, templates, good ideas. Stuff I can use. The competitiveness of the environment forces people to post lot of good stuff for free to get engagement, they otherwise would never share.

And in reverse if you post there too and want your content to be read and liked, then you should have only connections relevant to your content. Ie dont have HR connections and then post about coding, instead have mostly dev connections. Because LinkedIn algo tests your post by showing it to only small part of your connections, if your post about coding gets shown to HR people, nobody will like it and thus your post will end up failing the test and LinkedIn will kill its visibility.

In short. Don't blame LinkedIn, blame your managment of your connections.
A CPU can do "anything" by definition (Turing Machine), but does it do it? :) You still need the function implementation to be present.

It is in terms of software, not on hardware - or, of hardware structures that perform functions. Sometimes, yes, «something is missing». Olfactory difference between man and bear could be possibly quantitative; control of the individual fingers is qualitative (a present or missing module).
that makes it sound interesting - thought it was more about critiquing others more directly ..

Buffett is 91 and has underperformed the S&P 500 for the last decade. How confident are you in his future performance and that of his successors?

Berkshire is not a registered investment company like an ETF or mutual fund, so it pays taxes at the corporate level, including on the sale of appreciated shares of stock. A value ETF will periodically refresh its holdings and shareholders avoid paying taxes due to in-kind redemptions. There has been attempts to remove this break: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/29/senate-bill-that-would-end-e... .

I would put more money in ETFs such as VTI and VXUS than in BRK, but I think BRK is a reasonable place to put some money.
You don't need to have someone write code to find out if they know how to code, or how well. Simply ask a series of increasingly deeper questions about a range of coding topics that elucidate both technical expertise and experience. If you don't know all of that yourself, find someone else that does and have them do the interview. I've always been able to conduct interviews and find out someone's strengths and weaknesses without seeing them write code or fix a broken thing. Maybe I'm just some magical unicorn and this is a super rare skill? But I doubt it. I'm just looking for the tell-tale signs of someone who has done real work and learned things in that process.

The other thing is, as someone hiring, my main concern is just making sure the candidate has the specific skillset or experience I need. The person may learn quickly, but I probably don't have time for them to learn the one technology I need them to use ASAP. A lot of candidates end up getting rejected because they put something on their resume that we really need but they don't know well enough. And some just seem to be trying to reach and do a job they don't have experience in. It's hard to find someone who has just done the job I need done and isn't trying to get some other job.
Okay, that's pretty cool. Cheers :)

If the posted speed limit is significantly lower than the natural speed drivers would drive or well below the actual average speed (both are often the case in the US), driving under the posted limit in clear/dry weather is more dangerous than driving at the posted limit.

Many of our highways are posted at 55 mph or 65 mph. Car traffic is typically 70-80 mph on those highways.
> Commercial software with well-paid programmer employees also have long lists of CVE/RCE including MS Windows, Azure, AWS, Adobe PDF reader, Oracle database, etc.

Exactly that.

What paying some dev for open source work does is give you more ways to influence the direction of the projects.

It can help you to put priority on fixing bugs which affect you.

But it can't magically make disclosure work better.

Also I would be surprised if some bad actors haven't already known this vulnerability for a while, and hence any more delay before disclosure would have been irresponsible. In general a full disclosure shortly after finding and fixing it is often the most responsible thing to do.
This makes a huge amount of sense. I hadn’t considered how high level managers really can’t afford to project their stress publicly (bad for morale!) so I’m probably seeing an extremely airbrushed picture of their lives.
This is part of Agenda 21. The ultra rich are going to depopulate the planet to <1B people. Watch Bill Gates Ted Talk where he says vaccines can lower population 15%. They are selling us out to secure their seat in 500 million that will be allowed to remain. Conspiracy Fact not theory.
Most of what they actually said via the manual human-language status updates was "Service X is seeing elevated error rates".

While there are still decisions to be made in how you monitor errors and what sorts of elevated rates merit an alert -- I would bet that AWS has internally-facing systems that can display service health in this way based on automated monitoring of error rates (as well as other things). Because they know it means something.

They apparently choose to make their public-facing service health page only show alerts via a manual process that often results in an update only several hours after lots of customers have noticed problems. This seems like a choice.

What's the point of a status page? To me, the point of it is, when I encounter a problem (perhaps noticed because of my own automated monitoring), one of the first thing I want to do is distinguish between a problem that's out of my control on the platform, and a problem that is under my control and I can fix.

A status page that does not support me in doing that is not fulfilling it's purpose. the AWS status page fails to help customers do that, by regularly showing all green with no alerts hours after widespread problems occured.

Indeed, in postcommunist nations you are more likely to see a division between left-leaning traditionalist conservatives and right-leaning progressives. This was much more obvious decades ago. As time went on, left and right sort of lost meaning. Right now in Poland, Hungary and Romania, there is a resurgence of right-leaning to right-extremist conservatives.

I wonder if this is because right-leaning is a more natural fit for conservativism?
It will certainly make it harder for the attacker.

Because they are not really secondary activities for driving itself, it sounds like they are secondary in a broader context. A secondary activity for driving is, perhaps turning on the the wipers or something like that. But doing office work is a different activity, not a secondary one. That’s how it sounded like to me, at least.
This is definitely an interesting line of thought worth exploring, but I do take issue your central point: There is no such thing as a non-lethal weapon, and even good less lethal weapons struggle to effectively stop determined assailants.

A human truly determined to inflict harm on someone is astoundingly difficult to stop. The starkest examples I've come across are two officer-involved shootings: First was in Oregon, where a soldier going through a nasty divorce kidnapped his kids, got pulled over for speeding, got into a gunfight with the officer, injured the officer who proceeded to land a shot through his heart, then he continued shooting back, got back into the car, drove half a mile, pulled over, said goodbye to his kids, and died. The second was a man that got into a gunfight with multiple officers and didn't stop until he had about thirty bullets in him, so of course everyone assumed he was hopped up on PCP until the coroner report came back with negative results on the drug panel.

Tasers are about as good as it gets right now if you want something that can decisively stop a person, but even then they're badly hampered by any kind of heavy clothing and rain. Their direct lethality is heavily debated, but people getting head injuries when getting zapped is pretty common, not to mention deaths tied to heart conditions and being under the influence of stimulants. Their ability to stop an assailant behind any kind of barrier is completely nonexistent as well, and if you do find a technology that can decisively stop someone through a sheet of plywood it will definitely be able to kill.

Even trying to physically restain someone has a lot of room for injury and death, regardless of training and manpower, so I'm not confident that a weapon that can both compete with a gun in its ability to stop a threat and is guaranteed to not kill will happen before Tesla full self driving exits beta.

The thing had already gone off track in 1788. The Constitution is not compatible with democracy.

In a blessed future when we figure out a less totalitarian way to organize ourselves, Americans can still live together and trade with each other. The value of federal spending can be overstated, even for "net winners". Sure it's free money, but it's calibrated to the needs of those who hire lobbyists. No existing entitlement program is as beneficial to the population as just giving directly to individual humans would be.

Several factors that keep some Americans opposed to entitlements would no longer apply in the "laboratories of democracy" situation. No population is actually as hard-ass about deficits as some current representation claims, due to nondemocratic aspects of how such representation is currently elected. Simply redirecting the spigot of "free money" deficit spending away from armaments toward anything beneficial to humans would be a windfall. Spending on children would encourage young families to locate nearby instead of moving to the coasts, so eventually the hollowing-out middle states would see the benefits no matter their "traditional" opposition.

In fact, much of the traditional politics of both the "winners" and "losers" are simply negotiating positions that would disappear without a federal government. "Loser" states sending resources to "winner" states is the way that they "bribe" seemingly opposed representatives into accepting entitlement spending. It has much more to do with politics than with what particular areas "need" or "produce".
True enough, it could go either way, you pays your money and you takes your choice. Unless you're a Kiwi, there the state makes that choice for you; Mummy knows best.
On secrets: you should be cycling all your secrets on a regular basis anyway. If you aren't, now might be a good time to start.

> single-threaded 16-bit integer code might get 0.125 operations per clock cycle on the C64

Merely adding two 16-bit integers on the 6510 takes 14 cycles on fixed zero page locations for operands and destination. You'll easily spend 150 cycles on a general 16x16 multiplication using look-up tables. Not even measuring the juggling of values into and out of these fixed zero page locations via three 8-bit registers or the stack, we're talking about something like a tenth of your estimated op/s for an even mix of additions and multiplications. So I'd say much closer to a million times faster for a use case like this than 96000.

There may be special cases where the 6510 achieves 0.125 16-bit operations per second, for example multiplying by constant two and adding constant one (10 and 6 cycles, respectively)

16-bit singe threaded integer code seems like a rather contrived example as well. We're after all typically not running 16-bit applications over MS-DOS on our monster machines. Just booting into my OS will result in all cores being used to execute a bunch of 32/64 bit operations.

It would be interesting to see something like a modern cryptographic hashing algorithm implemented on a 6502 and compare performance both on long messages and on many smaller messages. This should give us an idea of how much slower a 6502 is at integer operations.

> simplified dependency tree.

Which doesn't necessary help.

Like eight "simple/small" dependencies from the same author might be a better choice then two huge dependencies from two different authors.

What matters is not the number of dependencies but the amount of code/complexity you depend one and the number of sources/authors/author-groups.

Also in this case you probably would have keep this dependency in you simplified dependency tree...

You should probably be driving quite close to the posted speed limit, unless there are weather or road conditions making that unsafe (then you should slow down), or if a lot of traffic is going significantly faster than that (then you should speed up). It’s not that odd to think that there should be one very narrow range of speeds that most traffic should be traveling at on a particular road and time, that’s pretty clearly the safest.

I think something that's really missing from marketing journalism is assuming that your audience is actually smart. Too many become data driven and then optimize for the median.

Haskell’s Type System Standing Alone
Unfortunately in many places of the US this is starting to change. Companies like Advent Health (used to be Florida Hospital) have been seizing control of medical practices from the doctors.

The common scheme is to offer logistical support (dealing with paperwork, IT, etc) in exchange for joining under their umbrella (with the implicit or sometimes not so implicit promise that otherwise they exert no influence over the operation of the practice). Then after a few months to a year they start making sweeping changes restricting what patients the doctor is allowed to see, what treatments they are allowed to provide or suggest, how much they can charge, and where they are allowed to see or treat their patients. Essentially resting any autonomy the doctors had over their practice.

This is what happened to our PCP and many other doctors in Florida. They were given an ultimatum and any patients who didn't fit the profile Advent had selected for them were forced to leave them for some other doctor.

Nowadays the only doctors with any "real" autonomy are surgeons and even then the actual autonomy they have is being increasingly encroached upon.

I'm not sure how common this is in other regions but at least in Florida it is becoming increasingly difficult to find Doctors who haven't been effectively tricked into forfeiting control of their practices and reduced to employees for large corporations.
