The author also fails to mention one other important failure point, which is write-back caching effects. This obviously doesn’t pop up for microcontrollers since they don’t have a CPU cache, but if you’re interacting with PCIE BAR registers from x86/ARM and you don’t use non-temporal load/store instructions to bypass CPU caching side effects, you’re going to have a bad time.

We could use the unexpectedly high temperatures as a heat source for geothermal energy. Make money selling the energy for ten, twenty years,... until the temperatures fall and the rock becomes rigid. Then drill another kilometer, funded from the geophysical exploration budget.

If you put everything in the same place ppl end up being on crowded shoulder to shoulder - very difficult to walk 100 m to do what you need. Its like putting too many cores in a CPU without addressing the memory bus.

Better an architecture where a core largely has everything it needs locally and only occasionally needs to go elsewhere; hierarchically seeking larger, harder to reach, memories

HF is scary but not that insane and not impossible to get without a license (in the US). You can get kits to etch glass which contain in-situ HF (armor etch for example). You can produce your own by obtaining fluoride salts and adding acid - though I would NOT recommend doing this without having some sort of lab chemistry training.

There's a line between "demands respect and thought during handling" and "reckless/insane". Having a properly ventilated workspace, and knowing how to handle dangerous chemicals, I would say HF is dangerous but not insane. Borderline insane for a hobbyist would be things like generating primary explosives/peroxides or toxic gases: cyanides, phosphines, hydrogen sulfide, ketene. I worked as a lab chemist for years and even with a decent home lab, I would be loathe to do any experiments which generates toxic gases in anything greater than 100's of mg quantity, because discharging your vent hood becomes a big concern. I've heard stories where someone accidentally acidified some cyanide (in a hood) and it killed a bunch of pigeons on the roof.

HF, eh, that's fume hood and PPE territory. Neutralize with calcium hydroxide, evaporate it in a hood to salt, and dispose as you would other solid chemical waste. It's just fluorite mineral at that point.
> I didn’t hear of spaced repetition in school, but isn’t flash cards essentially the same thing?

No, they're completely orthogonal IMO. SRS is a scheduler; when do you see a piece of information, based on how well you remembered it the last time you saw it.

The card is just the info itself. Going through a set of flashcards every day is not SRS; it completely misses the first S.

Many SRS' USE flashcards, but the important bit is the scheduling.

I think you're conflating time and the death of pets. Time doesn't kill pets, we use the death of pets to mark time (like clocks.)

As a hobbyist, just do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

React is designed for businesses to work on large applications. It can be nice to use if you know it well enough, but you certainly don't need it.

There is nothing you can do with React that you can't do with other frameworks, or even in vanilla js. It can make certain things easier, like testing UI components due to its functional design (ie, a component will always be exactly the same given the same input), and going back and forward through time is harder to do without React-adjacent libraries like redux.

Don't worry about it. Sometimes vanilla js or other frameworks are honestly just faster or better suited, especially if you work alone.
> doesn't mean there is no guilt if your actions effectively lead to the named peasants are killed.

but it's not a law of physics that the feudal lord kills a peasant - they did it by choice. This is what absolves the rebels from any guilt of the deaths. The rebels, a priori, believes that their rebellion is just, and therefore, by definition it cannot be morally wrong. It's not their fault if the feudal lord decides to do something morally wrong, based on any reason (including to extort the rebels).

This is different from a case where actions of the rebel directly lead to deaths of peasants - for example, bombing the residence of the feudal lord which causes collateral damage. In this case, the action must be judged individually.

React as a library (and a rendering idiom) is not complex enough for you to not decide for yourself whether to use it or not.

But “React” community practices include approaches that you may find anywhere on why..yagni..cargocult..bizarre spectrum. Even it’s own state management routines require you to think orthogonally to everything you know and used before. So as a rendering engine it’s okay, and maybe the best due to its widespread nature, but I wouldn’t go any deeper than that.

On the pro side, React isn’t tightly coupled to its state, so you can connect your own state to its rendering cycle. If your hobby is making products, not frameworks or meta-things, it has no value for you in my opinion. Stick with svelte, vue or lesser frameworks like mithril, whichever fits your needs better.

This opinion comes from a guy who avoided web ui like hell, but had to take a dive 3 years ago. Since then I used vue, mithril, react, researched multiple lesser/toy frameworks. Before that I was using Gtk/Gdk, Qt, Wx, AppKit, UIKit at work, and was toying with many desktop/mobile ui frameworks including the ones created by myself. Frankly, React feels like a pile of… idk it’s not even BS, something completely out of this world. As if someone learned nothing but js and html, read about FP and made first insecure steps into this journey.

The key part of spaced repetition is the exponential backoff for correctly-remembered items: An extended time between reviews appears to strengthen your memory much more than a short time, and an exponential schedule will let you add a constant number of items per day without the review load growing uncontrollably.

If you want to do this with physical flash cards, you can use something like a Leitner box:

How France's Largest Semiconductor Company Got Nationalized in Plain Sight
I would like to comment on the claim that "all popular languages have context-free grammars, while C++ has undecidable grammar". Although I understand what is meant here, the terminology is just plain wrong. There are no such things as undecidable grammars. There are only undecidable problems. The C++ grammar is context-free, period. What gets people confused about it is that it is ambiguous, and that there are in fact two parsing problems you can associate to an ambiguous context-free grammar. One of them is decidable, the other is not in the case of C++.

The first parsing problem is what I would call textbook parsing, as this is what is usually presented in books on the topic. It is a decision problem: the answer is either "yes" or "no". For context-free grammars, including C++, it is always decidable. So what about the ambiguous `AA BB(CC);` given in example here? Is it an object definition or a function declaration? The (decidable) textbook answer is simply "yes". The key thing to understand here is that textbook parsing does not require resolving any ambiguities. The "context-free" in "context-free grammar" only refers to this decision problem, which is why C++ has a context-free grammar, because textbook parsing does not require looking at any surrounding context.

Of course, if you are writing a compiler, "yes" is not a very useful answer. You want either "yes, it is an object definition" or "yes, it is a function declaration", which turns the parsing problem into a completely different one, which I will call compiler parsing. Compiler parsing is not a decision problem, and in the case of C++, it is undecidable.

What is meant by "all popular languages have context-free grammars" is simply that most languages have an unambiguous context-free grammar. To add to the confusion, textbook parsing and compiler parsing are essentially the same problem for unambiguous grammars.

They describe normal synthesis as "made from toxic chemicals"

Yea, there are hundreds of thousands of compounds we encounter and even eat every day that you could say the exact same thing about. That's the thing about chemistry you make a compound out of other compounds sometimes those precursors are going to be toxic at low doses.

Not to mention there has always been a risk of amphetamine psychosis from large doses of amphetamines. This has been known for such a long time.

The answer to drug issues is education and legalization, pure and simple.

Singapore’s MRT is run (ticket sales, customer service, train maintenance, etc) by two private companies. Like the public hospitals in Singapore, the government intentionally split it up to encourage comparison and competition.

The reason why it works pretty well is: 1) the government sets KPIs and actually enforced them on a very regular basis, if disruption occurs, you’ll see the govt start asking questions right away and 2) the government won’t hesitate to pull the contract and give it to another company.

Contrast this with the monopoly given PG&E, how embedded it is with the government and how they grease each other’s palms.

I do think there's a spectrum of pathological hype. On the one hand, there is manufactured hype, the NFTs and Theranos-end of the spectrum; on the other hand, there is hype from mismanaged expectations, the NMS side of the spectrum.

While NMS did eventually get their act together, what they delivered on launch was very much not aligned with the expectations.

AI solutions are hyped because they are AI solutions, not because of what they actually deliver. It's not that it has no uses, but the promises do not match up with the reality. Often it's enough to solve an already previously solved problem with AI to generate hype around a product, even if the AI solution is strictly worse than what's already on the market.
I really expected that we'd see a change in my lifetime, that GPs in particular would be replaced by a lower-cost Watson descendant, with there being some other role for patient interaction, wet work, and data entry (perhaps just nurses).

My mom worked for a GP for about 20 years, and it seemed to me that most of what made that guy a doctor was bedside manner + being able to remember a lot of things. But GPs often make astounding amounts of money while leaning heavily on their staff to actually handle patients and keep the business running. I thought it could help drugs get a little cheaper too, because there wouldn't be any point in the pharma companies sending out salespeople to do lunch seminars to convince the GPs to prescribe this or that drug (this still happens).

Maybe this will still happen, but it doesn't seem imminent anymore.
