Why would he deny it if it wasn't true though? He's officially come out and said[0] that it wasn't him when the public pressured him into commenting on it, and there is no evidence besides a few coincidences that you documented that he would otherwise be Satoshi. Equally likely is that Pamela Anderson designed the Bitcoin protocol. You're latched onto a theory that not only has no hard evidence to support it, but also has been denied by all parties and relies purely on serendipity to argue.

If Elon Musk was Satoshi, we would know. It's a silly thought experiment, but compared to the other candidates, Occam's razor tears your theory to shreds. Craig Wright, a complete and total fraud, is more likely to be Satoshi than Musk is.

Then, lets agree then on that it is a dead industry where options exist. Gas plants require more infrastructure investment up front, therefore coal exists in lower development countries.

Completely agree that subsidies for fossil fuels should be gone. The issue is that Fukushima is not once in a generation. Seems to be about once every 10-20 years given TMI, Chernobyl, Fukushima and the near misses or other costly mistakes like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokaimura_nuclear_accidents in Japan or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forsmark_Nuclear_Power_Plant#J... in Sweden where pure luck avoided a meltdown. Other nice ones include Monju in Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monju_Nuclear_Power_Plant.

Nuclear got the R&D subsidies for half a century without much to show for it. Nowadays renewables rightly has taken over that lead due to actual results.

This is a valid question for different reasons, too. I have a problem with the speech and behavior of immortal characters in books - why would a 300 year old powerful vampire behave like an immature emo teenager?

There's a reason we associate wisdom with age. The more times anyone of reasonable intelligence makes mistakes, the more opportunities they have to learn, and their behavior changes according to the degree to which they take on the lessons of life.

One big danger of immortal dictators is the simple fact that they'll stop learning. Through wealth and power they shield themselves from the consequences of mistakes, getting themselves and their people stuck in a local minima.

Imagine immortal Mitch McConnell, ever increasingly wealthy through passive income, maintaining power and privilege for his constituents and thus his hold on a senate seat.

If life extension pans out, liberal societies will have to impose term limits in a serious and well considered way. Humans aren't ready for the existing pace of technological development, and we're going to encounter an exponentially increasing number of problems, like the politics of immortality. The best thing we could do would be to maximize freedom of expression and minimize the duration of social institutions to achieve sufficient maneuverability to adapt to modern life.

Adopting Black made me realize quite how much of my coding thinking capacity had previously been spent thinking about code formatting - I used to really sweat the details about how to break up a long function call, where to put the line breaks, how to indent my dictionary literals...

With Black, I don't spend a single moment thinking about that at all. I estimate I've got a 5-10% productivity boost in my time-spent-writing-code from this!
I remember we migrated 2+ million LoC to being formatted by Black at Dropbox.

Our Livegrep instance with a custom Git blame implementation always crashed at the commit made to do the migration :-) We had to pause our merge queue because we didn't want to run into conflicts, and I remember the `git push` ended up taking a while.

There was only one change that we had to make to Black to get it working on our codebase - https://github.com/psf/black/commit/024c9cab55da7bd3236fd887...

Glad to see it's now stable.
> The potential downside is that large swaths of the planet become uninhabitable.

Modern reactor designs cannot explode high into the atmosphere the way that Chernobyl did. That is, their contamination will never be as far-reaching as Chernobyl was. With modern designs, it's really a question of local contamination. Pit this against the global impact of climate change and it's pretty clear which issue is the more serious one. The potential impact of climate change is big enough that we shouldn't let potential local contamination be an obstacle to building out nuclear power.
> I haven't been able to reconcile to myself how this isn't just an illusion of overall safety.

Experienced Rust writers try to be very clear about this, but it's a subtle point that's hard to fit into an elevator pitch for the language.

Safety in Rust is an encapsulation mechanism, and it's closely related to privacy. In fact, we can use privacy as a good metaphor. Suppose we have a private member variable x, in any language that supports such a thing. And let's say the design of our class is such that x should always be less than 10. Does the fact that x is private mean that we're guaranteed it will always follow that invariant? No of course not, because the public methods of our class could have bugs in them that screw up the value of x. However, we still get a useful guarantee here! We're guaranteed that x can only violate its invariants if our methods have a bug. We don't have to worry about what any specific caller is going to do, because privacy rules let us make guarantees about x solely based on our code.

Safety in Rust is similar. If Vec is buggy and unsound, then its "safe API" isn't providing much value. But if I manage to cause UB using Vec, that is a bug report for the Rust standard library, and they will fix it. Once the bug is fixed, then my safe calling code cannot cause UB using Vec, no matter how hard it tries.

These end up being very useful guarantees in practice. Many nontrivial programs can be written entirely in safe code, using only high-quality dependencies that get a lot of testing. Surprise soundness holes come up occasionally, but they're kind of like miscompliation bugs in that it's usually hard to trigger them.

A short essay I wrote back in 2015, while working as an accountant
Funny that this is a common reaction against opinionated tools: "I wish there was a configurable option to apply my opinions"

But the whole idea is that you should learn to suppress your ego and let the tool be the one dictating stylistic choices...

You can just have a USB cover to prevent stuff from getting into the port and cleaning it isn't that hard either. I find USB C much easier to clean then USB micro B.

But I do agree that it's better to prevent then to fix the problem.
Orchestration is a tough one because the second you bring it up, it devolves into a bunch of enterprise offerings and datastores and servers and holy wars and evaluations and managed services and horrendously complicated setup. Workflow engines, schedulers, all supporting "standards" but none interop without a million lines of glue code.

I've ended up writing basically this:

- Groovy for a lot of syntactic power, decent performance, ability to make workflow-ish scripts

- GPars for orchestration primitives to do stuff either serially or in parallel.

- a configuration service to have configuration scoped at the global/environment/cluster/datacenter/rack/individual node levels

- an access layer for executing remote commands and getting stdout/stderr back, and for sending, receiving files. It can be SSH, kubectl, AWS SSM, dockerrun, etc.

I've had to rewrite the core framework four times, but it has enabled me to do complicated orchestrations such as spawn clustered databases, spawn fleets of load generators, data loaders, or api servers, tear them down, etc.

I can code distributed backups and restores, and other cluster-wide "applications" with this as the basis.

I can run things from the IDE. I can run locally or from remote servers. I can CRON them or whatever. I can debug them from IDE. I can do adhoc/arbitrary cluster-wide operations/commands using the Groovy Console.

I will probably OSS it at some point, but it's not a finsihed product. But after three years I can't imagine doing what I do with it anywhere else.

It could be called by workflow engines, it can call out to terraform and other tools. It can do multicloud (with enough code :-), it can do mixed access / deployments (with enough code :-)

I guess the other limitation is the basic problem with a single orchestration node: probably won't easily scale to the 1000s of VM/nodes easily, or as efficiently as some other distributed coordinator could, but those things all come with the one-orchestration/integration/workflow-to-rule-them-all products. I don't want to be that.

I'm more optimistic than ever. The past few decades have been an absolute revolution in the economics of solar, wind, and storage. They are both getting cheaper than fossil fuels and scaling their production levels to just barely replace our carbon-emitting energy system with a carbon-free energy system on the schedule we need it.

The biggest hurdles will be traditional powerful economic forces resisting the disruption of cheaper, cleaner technology eating their lunch. This will be a biiig problem in places like the US. But once we have clean, cheap electricity and storage, a lot of the other problems become so much easier. A lot of chemical processes will need to be sorted out, like ammonia for fertilizer and concrete and aviation/shipping fuels, but all these will be far easier when we have the cheaper form of electricity.

We are in such a better place than we were a decade ago. There is tremendous reason to have hope, all we have to do is stay the course and speed our pace.

IIRC, the -S only avoid single quotes to get switched to double quotes. What I meant was allowing Black to switch double-quotes to single quotes automatically.
This is true, though what I was getting at was methods that make use of a noise source separate from the input.
That is a fake narrative spun from a screenshot of a tweet[1] taken out of context by people unfamiliar with IP laws.

It wouldn't be a limitation for centuries, or possibly millenia. The brain very efficiently packs information, and integrates with external storage. We'll be able to digitally augment brains directly long before temporal memory capacity becomes a problem.
Isn't OKRs and other systems supposed to solve this?

Don't communicate weightless, measureless, abstract fluff. Give clear goals, a utility function to combine them, deadlines or other time incentives (discounting or bonuses for being early), gather feedback, align with personal affinity, break down responsibility between groups (SREs, infra and platform teams provide the reliability, others build on that).

Set budgets and fix the constraints, draw up the solution space and let the people work.

It's not a mystery.

I feel you man. The only thing you can really buy is more house. And mostly yes reason I need more house is because of all the things Covid broke and took away.

Plus houses are up 20-30%. And double in the last 5 years so you can’t really buy that either as no way salaries kept up.

Inflation is real bro, just doesn’t seem that way because people on the low end are getting poorer and poorer every day

This idea has been around for a while... BeOS allowed for indexing and metadata which allowed you to use the file system a lot like a relational database. It was a really cool feature and made it easy to write software that stored tabular data. MS tried back in the Windows Longhorn era... and gave up on it. I think there's more than one 70s and 80s era big iron OS that did this, too.

The file system has been really hard to get rid of - it hides a surprising lot of details on how bits get read and written from hardware, and that hardware has changed a lot in the past decades. SQLite is a great codebase to look at to see what really goes on there.
I don't see this conversation going anywhere productive, but do you not think anything has changed since the Great Depression?

Your arguments can (and have been) those that applied to Uber or AirBnB; namely, that the only value they had was in skirting regulations, and that eventually the regulations catch up such that Uber or AirBnB is no better than the predecessor taxi and hotel industries. And I think there is certainly a lot of truth to that, but I also think this is normal human progress. As times change, we try something slightly different, and where old pain points arise again, we re-regulate accordingly. You are left with something that is indeed quite similar to the older industry, but with a fresh coat of pain and some improvements. You can dismiss that as entirely worthless, but I see it as normal and part of progress: two steps forward, one step back.

Similarly, I think having financial regulations that were created in 1933 be static forever is a mistake. As technology progresses, there can be room for changes. So I see DAOs and crypto in a similar light: yes, certain actors violate existing laws, but there is a freedom to explore a new design space, and then the regulators will catch up and reign it back to something more reasonable.

As for my link to OrangeDAO, it is not about 1,000 YC founders with Web3 startups, but 1,000 YC founders that are members of a DAO that seeks to invest and help other Web3 startups.

As for what's different, my answer would be scale. DAOs make it easier to coordinate large groups of people. Take a look at what OrangeDAO seeks to fund:

Many of them are targeted towards corporate infrastructure; replacing traditional processes with software-first functions, which allow a lot of disparate people to function together more easily, and reduces the friction of "a group of people working together towards a common goal" from that of an existing corporation.

You gotta get out man. If you truly have these unique skills it's just a matter of finding someone who understands the need and you get along with. Remember that corporations are made of people, they have no consciousness and are not homogeneous. Essentially one bad manager or bad team can completely screw your opportunity locally, but it doesn't mean there isn't a good fit elsewhere in the company or in another one. Bias towards the smallest company that needs your particular skillset.

If you can train a non-linear physical system with this method, in principle, you could also train real brains. You can't update the parameters of the brain, but you can inject signal. Assuming real brains to be black box functions for which you could learn a noisy estimator of gradients, it could be used for neural implants that supplement lost brain functionality, or a Matrix-like skill loading system.

To play the devil's advocate… one of the uses of youtube-dl is to grab a video so it can be watched on lower-spec machines that might not be able to handle playing a YouTube video in a web browser. Such machines might also be stuck on older operating system releases which don't have easy access to cutting edge Python distributions.

That's just my guess at the logic here, anyway.

Without ad-hoc polymorphism and with explicit exports the correct one must have been disambiguated in import statements or must otherwise have been disambiguated at the call site via a namespace prefix (negating the need to do any searching at all).

So simple ctrl-f in the file would do (or the call site would identify it).
A local D&D group (or similar pencil and paper roleplaying game) will usually turn up some interesting folks. I played with a group for a bit with a veterinarian, a programmer,a waiter, and an engineer (myself). It is really hit or miss though if you meet at a games shop that's fully public. Had some guy play once that fit all the stereotypes for the genre and made everyone uncomfortable.

I ended up not being a huge D&D fan as the DM (dungeon master who narrates and controls the game) was new and the game centered around the common theme of leveling your character and so on, when I would have rathered a game focused on heavy dialogue, puzzles, and intrigue rather than mainly combat. So it can take you awhile to find the right game and group of people.
