Does that mean people who rapidly build trusting romantic bonds with pretty much anyone, then feel sexually attracted, are "gray ace"? This Wikipedia article is garbage..

Hmm.. crank?
This is very silly. Your argument is based on thinking it’s futile to resume suffering as much as possible. The time spent trying to get folks to change isn’t a waste at all, as we can all see that there is progress. This is how any rights movement works.

Also, there are already made viable replacements for meat. I’d start with lentils, but you don’t like them there are hundreds of other options.
Hmm... that's interesting to hear. My 2015 also needs its battery replaced. I wonder if that could be causing it to throttle.
Well yeah if the grammar you wrote doesn't match what you intended to write then it's not going to work.

Not sure how that's saying anything useful though? If you write the wrong grammar with any parsing system it's also not going to work.
> I still contend socialism is about central planning.

Actual socialists, for the whole history of socialism, disagree, but please, don't let that distract you.

> Common ownership and participation in the means of production via democracy is central planning in practice,

When the common ownership is done through the state which directly controls industry, sure, you get central planning. When it's done through democratic worker control of firms, it is no more central planning than when firms are jointly controlled by their capital owners. And there are lots of variations of socialism besides those two.

> It's opposed to the libertarian vision

The idea that socialism is opposed to the libertarian vision is news to libertarian socialists.
For the party on the receiving end, maybe nothing.
Young kids are not expensive, and they don't care much about having a lavish home. IMO you want to have kids by no later than your mid 30s. You don't want to be 60 and dealing with teenagers.

The Tinder Swindler on Netflix is another example of this. Theranos isn't far off, either, although it was more "legitimate".

I disagree with your last paragraph, though. These weren't "anonymous" people, they were liars (often using their real identities and definitely using their real faces). There have been con artists for decades.

These people aren't trying to steal money and sneak off into the darkness. They're trying to brute force their way into their version of success, where their actual real identities are attached.
the 6502 has a single 16-bit address space with some parts (zero page, stack) addressable by means other than full 16-bit addresses.
the 8051 has 16-bit read-only code space, 16-bit read/write external memory space, and 8-bit internal memory space, except half of it is special: if you use indirect access (address in an 8-bit register), you get memory. but if you encode that same address literally in an instruction, you get a peripheral register.

at least that's the part I remember
Agreed, I like it. It's basically just a display for Spotify, but it's very handy.

Ha ha, that is the shittiest part of the 90's right there.
This seems like the first "quantum programming language" that actually contributes something interesting, besides being yet another way to write low-level commands to your quantum simulator (or experiment). I am very excited to see a language where the type system and the rest of the construct actually contributes something useful, as opposed to yet another useless SDK.
So, get lost with mask mandates. If they work, fine, I'll wear one. If we don't know yet but we suspect they'll help, I can wear one while we figure it out. But if they don't help, then no. Just no. I am not here for health theater.
Like they say of sports teams undergoing periods of poor chemistry, "winning solves everything."
Funny, I had much the same experience over ten years ago!

Google had an internal product called GoogleBase that was a huge "database" of "all products" based on Bigtable. Unfortunately, the whole thing had been misrepresented by the original managers, who moved to another project, and the dozens of engineers on the project were all struggling.

I asked Larry Page about this at a meeting, and he said, "We'll get back to you" and someone did and I responded, but there was no feedback, and eventually, a hundred person years later, it was all cancelled.

It was stressful for me and unproductive.

aye - effectively this says that SnowFlake will execute perfectly for 4 years, or slow to 40% growth for 8.5 years and will maintain/reach a healthy margin. For this, the market is willing to price this performance in today. Meanwhile a dollar placed in the S&P 500 would likely 2x over the same time frame.

To see a return on a dollar placed into snowflake we'd need to start adding in assumptions like "SnowFlake doubles in revenue for the next 7 years reaching a revenue of 76 billion dollars per year in 2029, surpassing GCP, rivaling major cloud vendors".

In the 20 years or so you are raising kids, probably less happy. In the 20 years after they are adults probably more happy. It really depends on a lot. The thing about all of these social science studies is they can only measure broadly. They are very hard to use as an individual to make good choices because there are so many factors. I know parents who absolutely love it and it brings them a lot of joy, even with young kids. I know other parents who really did not enjoy certain phases of their kids development. My wife and I are somewhere in the middle. Teenagers are challenging, but alright if you did a good job in the years before they became teenagers most of the time. If you ask someone deep in a tough moment of raising children of course they will be more likely to say no. Ask them when their kids have graduated college or moved onto to the career phase of their life and see what their answer is :]

I'm curious and the article does not mention -- because there is no driver, does that mean GM is at fault for accidents and traffic violations? This avoids the Tesla loophole where a driver needs to be there to take control at any moment.
6502 is awesome to program from assembly.

What makes the 6502 atrocious for C is:

- internal CPU registers are 8 bits, no more, no less and you only have 3 of them (5 if you count the stack pointer and processor status register).

- fixed 8-bit stack pointer so things like automatic variables and pass-by-value can't take up a lot of space.

- things like "access memory location Z + contents of register A + this offset" aren't possible without a lot of instructions.

- no hardware divide or multiply.

Many CPUs have instructions that map neatly to C operations, but not 6502. With enough instructions C is hostable by any CPU (e.g. ZPU) but a lot of work is needed to do that on the 6502 and the real question is - will it fit in 16K, 32K, as most 6502 CPUs only have 16 address lines - meaning they only see 64K of addresses at once. Mechanisms exist to extend that but they are platform specific.

IMHO Z80 is better in this regard with it's 16-bit stack pointer and combinable index registers.
So, what are the exceptions you are pointing at?

That's, by the way, why we have the calculus of differential forms which, unlike vectors with all their flavors (free; polar; axial/pseudo), have a clear geometric meaning, and with which many statements about fields acquire an especially simple form. There are many excellent guides; for the motivation, see, for example, https://www.jpier.org/PIER/pier148/09.14063009.pdf

Libertarian socialism is a synonym for anarchy, which gives a clue how compatible they are.

I would call what you are describing communism, not socialism. And it's nothing like any major socialist society in existance, because it's unobtainable in practice.
I don't believe that's true.

Apple has always had a much more wholesale replacement strategy than other manufacturers. Even back in my CompUSA days, when I was the "Mac guy" in the shop, the other techs lamented how much easier my job was. There was a whole range of problems that Apple classified as a full system swap, where someone like HP would have replaced one or two components.

They're still replacing screens, depending on the break. I had a screen replacement last year on my 12. It was just the screen. I believe they're more conservative about screen replacements though, and have a deep enough supply of refurb devices the math might just work out that it's faster/cheaper to just hand the consumer a new device.

The problem is easy to solve, just store copies of all public keys of each air tag you send out.

> Next time it won't

Sadly, it most likely will. The left I used to know wouldn't be caught dead cheering on the coordination between federal government and private businesses/banks to deny people the ability to organize and protest. But here we are, and there we'll be when the government decides to label whatever the next movement is as a "threat to democracy."
Since it's made explicit to anyone opting into the FSD Beta program that they must pay attention and keep their hands on the wheel at all times, this is a dumb FUD article. Drivers choose to accept full responsibility and opt-in to beta testing.

In one of the fatal crashes mentioned, the driver wasn't even in the driver's seat. Come on.

This is a case of "robot scary." I'd like to see the accident rate compared to human drivers in identical situations, broken down by age range. I'd wager you'd still see a massive reduction.

It's not useful to spotlight and misrepresent a set of attention-grabbing incidents, presented free of either statistical or situational context.
I don't think there is anything wrong in writing platform-specific code; in certain circles there is this weird fetishitization of portability, placing it on the highest pedestal as a metric of quality. This happens in C programming and also for example in shell scripting, people advocating for relying only on POSIX-defined behavior. If a platform specific way of doing something works better in some use-case then there should be no shame in using that. What is important is that the code relies on well-defined behavior, and also that the platform assumptions/requirements are documented to a degree.

Of course it is wonderful that you can make programs that are indeed portable between this huge range of computers; just that not every program needs to do so.
I strongly suspect that they have caved, and are actively cooperating with the Chinese authorities. It's a really big market, and they luvs their munny. I have no intentions of developing apps for distribution in China.

I'm not happy, too.

I deleted a paragraph in this response about a conversation I had -just this morning- with a friend that owns a fairly substantial company, that does a lot of its manufacturing in China.

I won't go into it, but China has their own "rules," and they have the muscle to enforce them.
Kalman published his filter in 1960... a little over 50 years but I'd say it's worthy to mention given its huge impact. The idea that we can use multiple noisy sensors to get a more accurate reading than any one of them could provide enables all kinds of autonomous systems. Basically everything that uses sensors (which is essentially every device these days) is better due to this fact.

In 1973, a high school student from another state told me that he became interested in astronomy because of a newsletter and activity he participated in. It seems there was a grad student somewhere trying to crowdsource astronomical observations. Periodically, he would identify a time and place where it was expected that one could observe a particular star as it was blocked from view and then reappeared from behind the moon. Participants would go to those locations in groups of three, one on the spot, one some distance to the East and another the same distance to the West. The teams of three would then send in the timing of their observations so the project leader could make corrections to astronomical data.
The grad student, if I remember correctly, used the mailing list to continue the newsletter for some time after the project end date. I always liked that story and I imagined it was not the only effort of its kind.
I did, and that's why I don't think intent is a difference. It's malicious compliance which does have intent, imho.
"If you want to get past the limitations of the format for those use cases, APNG should be the answer"

I think we are in violent agreement about how technology makes being creative easier. My contention is that it’s not technology that’s the limiting factor to being successful.

I have the know how and equipment to edit videos. I can edit “well enough” for internal videos and demos for YouTube. You put those same tools in the hands of someone with talent, they can be amazing tools.

It’s hard to break into any media industry well enough to make it a sustainable business. It’s about how do you stand out in the crowd and get people to pay you money? It’s not better technology that’s going to make it easier to find “one thousand true fans” that will give you money and it takes a lot more than one thousand true fans to make it based on just advertising.
Thank you for sharing! It is much appreciated!
>will succeed or not?

Very likely not. Not only are they very much replaceable from Apple's perspective, ( They don't value Apple Retails employees as they do 10-15 years ago ) I also wonder if paid "really" is the core problem. The problem is Apple retail has been so poorly managed for the past 10+ years some of the effect are only starting to show now. And while Deirdre O’Brien is the best successor since Ron Johnson, I am also not entirely sure she is good enough / best fit for Retail. There are a lot of thing needs fixing ( or reverting ) she has't touched. She used to work in operation under Tim Cook before moving to People and Retail.
I've listened to both episodes of Lex Fridman's podcast where he interviewed Chris and he seems like an extremely humble and intelligent guy. No question he is one of the leading experts on compilers too, and has a lot of hardcore engineering background to prove it.

Sometimes organizations just grow to be too large and too remote to sustain a productive and respectful environment. I don't think anyone is necessarily at fault here.

> It reminds me of a famous racial bias study taught in "Leadership" courses in which the authors found that people had slower reaction times to pictures of black people and came to the conclusion that this meant we must have some innate bias against black people.

Look, the IAT (implicit association test), which you are presumably talking about, has a lot of problems, but that ain't one of them. Pretty much all of the things you have talked about have been examined in multiple, independent studies.

It doesn't seem to replicate massively well in terms of behavioural impacts, but to suggest that social scientists don't control for obvious things is just false.

That being said, the US approach for getting social science participants is insane, and should be destroyed.

If you're 100% in on Apple, it's probably fine. Outside that ecosystem, Kotlin, Go or Rust are all probably better investments of learning time depending on the problem you're tackling.

The question more is, is bothering to learn native smartphone app development a bad investment of time now that the low hanging fruit is gone and we're due for a new platform paradigm?
That is one thing, and it is important, but what I said encompasses a lot more people and needs, so I think it doesn't quite "come down to" merely helping this one specific set of "problematic" adults you personally have some experience with. Maybe some problems are directly caused by what you said.

"Shoveling fiat into the household." We had the biggest drop in child poverty during the pandemic (too bad it's temporary), because we gave people money. If you want to limit the supply of dollars raise taxes on the top, that's where all the "fiat" (lol) ends up after just a couple steps.

What I said is much more general: our society must devote sufficient resources that all children have the opportunity to flourish.

> If an idea is successful, whether correct or not, then as in business people will blindly support it to 'get a piece of the pie'.

I wonder whether articles like this are driven in part by the same copycat effect described above. People love to complain about their workplace. Although the article identifies real problems, it is lean on evidence for the magnitude of their impacts. Many of the citations are to other opinion pieces. It's certainly worth improving things where we can, but the sky is not falling either.

For example, the abstract leads with "If a critical mass of scientists become untrustworthy, a tipping point is possible in which the scientific enterprise itself becomes inherently corrupt and public trust is lost, risking a new dark age with devastating consequences to humanity." Which sounds serious. But based on articles posted to Hacker News previously, 1–10% of scientists (excluding countries with direct cash payments for accepted articles) fabricate or falsify data, which is a typical percentage of bad actors in most groups. The other 90% still appear able to serve as quality control in the usual way. People can tell if an article is likely to be b.s. with about 70% accuracy based only on its description, not even reading it. I think any defects in science feel more severe than they really are because science has been so successful that our expectations are now sky-high.

I do emphatically agree that promoting altruistic and ethical norms should be a focus of scientific institutions. Major discoveries will arise from curiosity and serendipity, as they always have, they cannot be predicted in a proposal's Gantt chart.
I am mostly a fan of Rust, but it's made some missteps in its evolution imo.

For instance sync rust is mostly nice to work with, but async is another story entirely. I have the impression that it was somewhat rushed into the language due to community demand, but it's not really a fully solved problem.
