> This was probably career ending at your company, I expect you have been added to a layoff shortlist somewhere for the next round of downsizing.

Almost certainly not. This requires actual malice on the part of the manager in question. The manager in question doesn’t have any direct authority over OP (unless OP is really bad at storytelling) so would have to go way out of their way to hurt OPs career. Much more likely, the manager doesn’t care about OP at all, because why would they?

But yeah, unless OP is waiting on piles of stock to vest, move on. But because they are unhappy, not because of this random manager.
Yes ExtJS could be thought of as a component/ui framework similar to Bootstrap or KendoUI?

Before Angular, Backbone was all the rage (2013) which started the whole front end framework trend and effectively killed jQuery (which was only really good for manipulating the DOM because JavaScript was so fragmented since not every browser supported the JS function... eg. IE6).

Essentially Angular wrapped everything into a nice gift that included Backbone-like MVC type architecture (MVVM), KnockoutJS, and Mustache for Templates (Similar to ERB for Rails?).

I'm definitely incorrect in the descriptions in the plumbing because it feels like ancient history now. Essentially Angular is just a framework like Rails for the Front End. Difference between ExtJS is that it's more heavily into the way the UI widgets worked and behaved whereas Angular is more for the Business Logic and the way the Client Side is structured.
Yeah, Docker is unavailable on FreeBSD.

I'd pay twice that to host my static blog with IA. ;)

I guess archiving a static blog is already trivial for their system, but I'd pay $100 a year to have IA host my static blog. The overhead I would consider as a donation to a worthy cause.

Then again, I can just give them $100 a year and find some free static hosting, like GitHub Pages, and call it a day.
I love that you have a citation for 2 * 100 million = 200 million. I've seen papers where the use of "=" sweeps a lot of non-trivial equalities under the rug, but this is the first time I've seen something go the other way this far.

I suppose the claim is rather shocking and warrants citations - $200m to host the entire internet archive forever? I don't blame you for the excessive citation.

Nice spreadsheet documenting unintended behavior of modern AI systems. The difference is, an AGI would be able to understand the intent beyond requested directives. What we "want" is not so subtle and nuanced that it is beyond the understanding of an AGI. If we are to believe that the technology is infinitely advanced, why do we assume its unable to understand a basic request? Sure, there are many ways to misinterpret the request, but the basis of that (what I believe is a misunderstanding) is that the AGI is not intelligent enough to understand your request. Morality would be equally trivial for an AGI to understand, the amount of text it could read through on ethics is well beyond even our own capabilities. If anything, I think it would be susceptible to fewer cognitive biases.

That doesn't address the concern re: something needing critical mass to increase its chance of survival over a longer term.

Really the way I see it outside a few large banking firms, its kind of hard to be sure any provider of digital services would be around in the 50+ year term for this kind of public archive.

I hope the Internet Archive manages it.

EDIT: I do worry the IA has a bit of a lightning rod effect with skirting issues re: legality of archiving content. IMO its no guarantee it survives any significant time span either.

> Autopilot may be a marketing name and people can voice their opinion about it as not being appropriate or whatever but where did the notion come from that "Autopilot" means it works on its own without human?

When Tesla Marketing videos said "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself".

You can find this quote all over the internet. Since this is Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26858525, you can see people discussing this and proving that the video said that.

Quote end-quote. Tesla literally said that and posted it all over the internet. Elon Musk then came on after that video was aired and said they'll have "Coast to coast Full-self driving" in 2017, and repeatedly double-downed on that claim.

Wat this all is, to my eyes, is people putting form over function. If you care about the message, you consider the people receiving it and try to reduce ambiguity as much as possible. If you care about the medium, then you make trade-offs about aesthetics which may reduce legibility but appeal to some other quality that is being considered.

There's obviously a place for both. Poetry does not necessarily benefit by removing ambiguity. Technical manuals do. Depending on what the author is attempting to do, different choices may be made.

In contracts meant to define actions and behaviors, ambiguity is not beneficial (at least not for anyone that's not trying to swindle someone else). There are constructs or forms that can be used to reduce ambiguity, and they should be used where appropriate. For example, if a bulleted list is allowed, that removes quite a bit of ambiguity in some cases.

Unfortunately, for contracts we are forced to use an imprecise medium (natural language) to define what we want to be a precise set of constraints. There will always be some friction there where one for not accurately account for what's meant by the other. Additionally, accurately describing all relevant facets of reality that might apply is hard.
"when newer data is available and shows 76% of cases in Ontario are now in vaccinated?"

This is false.

Where is your reference for this?

Don't have one?

I will reference the data you're commenting about for you, because it disproves your own case: Ontario, most recent data [1] - which I have already referenced in other comments.

I chose the BC data because it was the first that came up - and it is 100% representative of what has been going on globally.

Since the dawn of vaccines, all around the world, the data shows that rates of infections are about 5x higher among the vaccinated.

It's definitive, all of the data shows that, from every country.

The only distinction to that - is literally in the last 2 days, with Omicron, we're seeing more cases among the vaccinated, but it's not 75%.

Stop spreading anti-vaxx information during a pandemic.

And the one to rule them all: emacs (also gvim).
I don't think this can work. JavaScript and the CLR are very different runtime environments that make different kinds of things available at runtime, and the workarounds for this will have different tradeoffs that will require programmer judgment to resolve. They will never be able to interoperate completely seamlessly. By contrast, TypeScript at runtime just is JavaScript, so there's no gap to bridge.

From https://www.usinflationcalculator.com I get that the value of the house should have increased by 92.4% from the purchase price in 1993. The last sale (four months ago) was up by 438%¹. It gets worse if I go from the sale price in 1997 where inflation shows 73.2% but the increase was 525%

1. To be explicit, the house sold for 5.48× more than the purchase price.
Not to clutter my mind with feel-good buzzwords and other meritocratic poppycock.
I really doubt you'd start with "Let's emulate every atom of the human body". That's a huge waste of time. The atoms in my toenail are not relevant to most models you'd care about.

You'd probably start off instead by emulating specific proteins. That's already really hard, but obviously a trillion times easier than what you're suggesting.

Once you can emulate a number of proteins you can start to emulate interactions of drugs with those proteins. That's probably going to get you to a good enough heuristic where you can say "ok let's try this on something alive" or "this clearly doesn't work".

This is, to my knowledge, the existing approach being taken. It's just that a single protein is extremely complex. A single protein is a series of amino acids linked by peptides - each amino acid is itself a pairing of numerous atoms.

As you go from atom -> amino acid -> poly peptide -> protein you get a massive increase in complexity.

> While one could argue these are the job of the compiler, they are not today, and so linting during CI is not only appropriate, but practically required.

I disagree. Stylistic choices should not block a pipeline. It's impossible to argue in favour of blocking a release just because there's a whitespace in a place where it makes some random developer frown. The robustness principle also applies here.

And no, build/critical errors are not the same as stylistic/linting errors.
I'm still hopeful. There's quite a lot of promising research being done right now, with huge amounts of money being poured into it. Latest papers point to aging being an intentional, programmed, self-sustaining process, that is the continuation of the organism's development which just happens to become destructive around 25 years of age (in humans). The older theory that aging is due to accumulated damage and telomere attrition is mostly getting abandoned.

The process of aging, as it turns out, is malleable. It's most probably controlled by some signaling molecules in the bloodstream, it's just that we don't know yet which ones. Look up "heterochronic parabiosis" for related research.

Then there are Yamanaka factors, those not only erase cell identity, they also erase the age. Of course you don't want all your cells turning into stem cells, but the fact that this mechanism exists at all means that it's likely possible to isolate the pathway that resets the age of a cell but keeps the identity.

Then there's the "rejuvenation event" during embryonic development shortly after conception, as shown by DNA methylation clocks.

So currently we have these puzzle pieces that we don't yet know how to put together, and some are still missing. We'll get there eventually.

It's not even going to be life extension, as in, "you'll still get old and eventually die of old age but slower", it's full-on rejuvenation, as in, "you'll look and feel 25 and the only thing giving away your actual age will be your ID".
> Moral relativism is not as promising a position as most ordinary (non-religious) people believe. The majority of trained ethicists (in the field of Philosophy) are moral realists: they believe that certain things are actually right and wrong.

This is a poor argument because response to it is just that that is selection bias. Those who settle on moral relativism don't become ethicists (since there's nothing much to say on that, they specialize in something else) and those who do become ethicists can't settle on moral relativism (since again, there would be nothing much to say and they'd have no job.) Or take it the other way: in order to be an ethicists, you'd have to be a moral realist. Something along these lines anyway waves hands.

The TypeScript compiler is weird in a lot of ways. Like, all type checking happens in a single 40,000-line file. And it uses namespaces, which are officially soft-deprecated, instead of modules. Point is, I wouldn't look to it as an example of how to write a good TypeScript app.

(Also, use of mostly functions with relatively few classes is common in, e.g., modern React; I don't think you're fighting the language too much if you do it.)

It's not consistent, though. Nobody uses the Oxford comma in a list of two.

In the Oxford regime, "apples and oranges", when prefixed with another fruit, becomes "bananas, apples, and oranges".

If you wanted to implement an "insert commas" algorithm recursively, choosing Oxford requires passing an extra bit along to signal to the terminal case (joining the last two list elements) that there are > 2 elements total. Inelegant to my mind.
