> Language Design: Let's start with the admission that there's a lot of cargo culting in language design. Evidence is hard to come by and the best evidence is other languages that succeed with different choices.

You are going to get a lot of false positives using success as a metric for good language design.

I cannot think of a single popular language, other than Python, in the last 40 years that did not have huge companies with sizable marketing budgets behind them.

Programming languages do not succeed based on merit. They may fail based on lack of it.
I don't see the problem. If they have stock and it's worth crap then <shrug> oh well. Maybe they should hang on a bit longer until it's actually worth something? Or not. Stocks go up. Stocks go down. Stocks stay the same.
> it's almost impossible to prevent extremely wealthy people from having undue influence on politics.

Money is basically an abstract representation of power, so that's almost a tautology.

> Another reason would be that most rich people don't allocate capital in a way that's good for society

This is an interesting claim? What is good for society, and relative to whom?

I suppose the obvious comparison would be relative to "poor" people, but poor people don't really intentionally allocate capital at all by virtue of barely having enough for their immediate needs. Even the selfish rich people tend to invest their capital, usually into lucrative projects that make money by fulfilling some need of society. I guess i wonder if that's so bad, or at least if its worse than the other social classes would do.

That's really what the personal 'backups' are, it's just a synced copy that will happily mirror corrupted data and delete files that were deleted (not sure if there's any delay). If you want real backups then use the B2 storage directly.
I'm not claiming they are on ARM - and that in itself is a moot point.

I'm mentioning that Google Cloud primarily hosts and bills your ML code on TPUs. Today TPU v4 run at exascale.

so the equivalence "scared" behavior exists for both Intel and nvidia on Google already.
It's not a sales pitch, it's a trade negotiation.

You don't have free speech in USA, your government put people behind bars who airs their dirty laundry. Governments imprisoning people who dig up evidence that they are corrupt is definitely not free speech. I have never seen or even read about anyone guard their speech against governments in my country, speech is essentially free in most of Europe, UK and German are exceptions.
>marxism as a theory is only a plan

It's not a plan. Marx specifically avoided any such planning and explained why. Marxism is a theory about capitalism. It's not a plan at all.
I agree, but on the other hand you know the saying: "90% of the work takes 90% of the time, the 10% remaining takes the other 90% of the time."

I agree, but if we don’t account for wealth inequality, then we can fail to get there because our government tends to optimize for the already-wealthy at the expense of everyone else. This happens due to special interest lobbyists who make sure that every law tips the scales a bit in favor of their wealthy patrons (it’s like playing hungry hungry hippos on a table that tilts downwards toward the rich). The more inequality we have, the more greater the extent to which the government serves the interests of the wealthy class, which in turn exacerbates inequality. So we should make sure we are actually making more wealthy people and not just helping the already-wealthy grease the pole for others.
The point is that they should have been innovating all this time, instead they rested on their laurels and bashed alternatives, and here we are.

I thought the elderly being more at-risk of COVID was uncontroversial?

> False claims about COVID-19 that invoke a deliberate conspiracy by malicious and/or powerful forces

This is very ambiguous - are such claims only forbidden if they are false, or is the sentence implying that all such claims are false? For example, is pointing out that China pushed to maintain international travel, at the same time it was locking down internally [1,2], forbidden?

> It is wealth in its own terms that is created by government out of nothing based solely upon its future ability to tax.

The units may vary, but the value remains the same. You get more dollars, but they are worth less, as the purchasing power parity is diluted. See: 6.8% inflation this year.

> So you eliminate that by forcing things to be rented out and used, or they will be confiscated.

I'm confused. I genuinely think you're reinventing LVT from first-principles here. The "confiscation" in Georgism/Geoism just comes at the hand of the free market.

Yes, if you resolutely clung to land refusing to vacate it and also not pay the tax, someone will eventually show up and evict you, but the pressure to just take the money and go will drive an economically rational person to leave before then.

Yeah fair, that was a pretty bad answer.

I would equate basing your business on a no code product is taking on ultra high interest tech debt to get something working up front. Sure you get somethint shiny quickly but thats the moment that system peaks and from there its just creating drag.

And the thing is no one ever decides to just throw the working thing away and rewrite so you end up tinkering with these tools with diminishing returns for way longer than is justifiable because youve got other stuff to do and it easy to deprioritize.

The points about fast validation are valid but a competent person van protoype as fast or faster with most modern web frsmeworks and those systems will be viable for 100x the timespan ad what the no code tool gets you through.
I generally agree, but I don't think

> "kernel-mode driver for device X performed an invalid memory operation, please try updating it or report this to its developer"

is a good example of a user-friendly error message either.

My experience in writing software and supporting it for end users (even highly educated users) has taught me that a large percentage of people will stop reading if they encounter any technical words or indirect statements. Honestly, I feel like the "Your computer ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart it for you" message that Microsoft settled on is probably about the common denominator. It has no technical terms and it doesn't give the user an opportunity for decision paralysis.
I had some Dell Core 2 laptops that AFAIK were limited to 4G (well, less because it couldn't map anything above 4G so you wouldn't be able to access all the physical memory) by the Intel 945 chipset. If you had a 965 chipset you could do 8G apparently.
This right here is what I'm working on at my company right now. We're a multi-cloud and on-prem SaaS provider, we meet the customer where they want to be.

Our entire deployment stack is Java/Python on Linux.

I'm looking at our deployments and thinking, we sure would save a lot of money, and likely deliver a superior product if we switched to ARM on both AWS and OCI. Better product due to beefing up the Postgres clusters with part of the savings.

My hope is that by the end of Q2, our default deployment is on ARM on OCI. We're looking at nearly a 50% cost reduction versus the current m5 RDS and other EC2 instances.
I must be confusing it with something else.

The frames of aluminium are obviously directly recyclable. The silicon is also completely recyclable, so you are talking about fractional materials being “wasted” if you apply a zero effort approach of recycling.

Applying a small amount of effort, given you’d need to re-smelt the silicon, all of the materials you mentioned have different melting points (mostly lower than silicon) so you could extract them at the appropriate time as you resmelted the entire product.

I don’t see how this is at all a waste problem, looks like a great recycling opportunity.
"Primary energy" seems misleading because it over-valuates low-yield sources.

Why would they need to reach me? If they really need to, they can ping the OnStar system, or whatever proprietary system is built into basically every new vehicle. This is assuming they don't add their own tracking system after taking delivery. A company the size of Hertz can absolutely know where every car they own is at any point in time. It doesn't mean that every employee can just look it up for fun but the info is available to those who need it.
I have religiously put debugging information into my error messages for the past decade. Often accompanied with a statement like "Please provide this information when reporting this error". I have supported thousands of users. I can count on one hand the number of times that a user has provided that debugging information to me when it was appropriate to do so. I am the only one who uses that debugging information, when I'm running my own tests.

In fact, sometimes I'll get support requests like "Hey I got this error 012345 what does that mean?" and the attached screenshot will show a message like: "Invalid Password, please type your password again (Error code: 012345)"

I absolutely understand the technical utility, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they have better overall support outcomes without it.

Agree.

As an uncle I remember smelling top of baby's soft spot and thinking it was pleasant. Maybe it was the Johnson's product or talcum or some other baby product.

Of course, they can also smell like mother's milk if they puke it up and that shit smells sour.

I've also noticed puppies have a pleasant smell to before they get older and their breath stinks cause the owners don't brush their teeth enough.
lesswrong.com is a high quality community that's a lot more open to controversial topics.
The right-clickers aren't thinking ahead, or alternatively, NFT backers are thinking too far ahead. The endgame is, inside a metaverse you don't get to view the media you haven't bought a license to - Fortnite is a unique world in that they can license IP from Marvel, Star Wars, DC. The shinyness of the Ready Player One universe owes itself to that mixture of nostalgia of all different properties. I don't know that an open-source / pirate-friendly platform will be allowed to exist.

The NFT backers are placing their bets that intellectual property will be more rigidly enforced in the future. Basically conferring "First-sale Doctrine" to digital assets. The right-clickers think nothing will change and that platforms without "Right click -> Save As" will fail to catch on.

Maybe NFTs have a future, but as Richard says in Silicon Valley S03E09, "being too early is the same as being wrong"

The WSJ and the NYT for news.
My two cents while trying to avoid too well-known outlets:

>YouTube channels:

Forgotten Weapons (world-class firearms history)

The Tim Traveller (general European infrastructure et al history)

Project Farm (one-man Consumer Reports-esque testing)

MedCram (excellent in-depth scientific but accessible medical information)

Tasting History with Max Miller (culinary history)

Two Minute Papers (covers recent scientific papers; rather tech-related but I see no other coverage of most of the stuff he touches on)

U.S. Department of State (the press briefings are immensely insightful and not a circus like the White House equivalents)

>Other:

Standard Ebooks (if its in the public domain and somebody bothered to professionally process it, it's probably worth reading!)

Father Stephen de Young's The Whole Counsel of God Biblical lectures (In my opinion, easily the best English-language dissection of the Bible ever written or recorded. Presented from an Orthodox perspective but frankly immensely useful for anyone interested in the Bible generally.) (Also, not to be confused with his related but separate blog of the same name.)

Drudge Report (obviously a hard right bias, but nevertheless more insightful than most mainstream publications, plus the formatting is such that you can digest a day's news in 30 seconds from skimming around the page)

Middle East Eye (a rare seemingly independent middle east media outlet. Broadly left-wing bias.)

4chan (quite frankly, while there is a lot of noise, there's also signal buried in there that simply isn't possible with other mediums. For example, the photography board's current film thread: https://boards.4channel.org/p/thread/3971021 )
Or maybe it's a test.

This is very true.

To give an an example, in the front page of hacker news I only see what is boiling i.e what caught the attention of the masses. I hardly learn new stuff. I think this is true for any crowd-based news site rating system.

In contrast, when I open up my RSS reader and see posts of the blogs I subscribed to, I often learn new things that perhaps were simply not very interesting to the common HN in the same period of time, but are enriching to my general or technical knowledge.

The idea is to accumulate 300 or so low-frequency blogs, so that each day you would have a few posts to read from interesting people. Low frequency is good because the signal-to-noise ratio is often better.

Different age groups have been shown to have different propensity to adverse symptoms of covid many times, this is very firm science at this point. You can't get much lower than censoring scientific information during a pandemic when it suits your agenda. The blatant science denial and disregard of reality from corporations never ceases to amaze me even though we've seen it countless times from tobacco, fossil fuel, asbestos, etc.
Think about it this way. If a user gets enough upvotes they get a link to "vouch" for a dead post and possibly undelete it. Would you vouch for that post? Would you say "This kind of post is what we need on HN"? I think it adds little value, even if there's "nothing wrong with it".
I gotta admit I'm freaking out a bit at this statement.
