There was a story I heard about the autistic guy who volunteered for transcranial magnetic stimulation. Those have been known to temporarily shift someone autistic into a consciousness state that is more neurotypical. In his case (and it is the only documented case), it was permanent.

He wrote a book about it. His marriage ended because of it (he had been a reliable emotional support for his wife while autistic), but he also became a lot closer to his son.

I think we’re only scratching the surface here, and even that, there are wide-ranging implications.
I find this mindset helpful when working with teams as well.

An example of this is when playing team games, such as Dota, League, Valorant, etc. When you lose, it is very natural to point at every mistake your teammates made and say "If y'all didn't make these mistakes, we would have won". Which often is true, and why people have not stopped blaming each other. However, these people fail to realize that, if only they themselves made less mistakes, they also could have won. The blame is shared. Once a player adopts the mindset of "How can I change what I did to secure a win?" they can actually get better. They need to start focusing on what they have control over.

I think this mindset can be broadened to the workplace or APIs, anything that involves another person's work.

The problem has been fairly extreme at all of the companies I've worked at. I would even say that, if you exclude the new grads, there's actually an inverse relationship between someone's level and how much I would want to work with them.

I expect the problem is most severe at mid-sized companies that don't have highly-technical business problems to solve. I think the root cause looks something like this:

- A long chain of relatively non-technical managers exists in the engineering org.

- Promotions, especially to staff, become very political, ie the decision-makers likely haven't worked directly with the candidates for promotions.

- The criteria for promotion to staff effectively becomes whether they contribute to highly-visible, high-level engineering efforts

- If the domain doesn't require them, these highly-visible efforts are likely either lateral shifts or actively unhelpful. The company probably doesn't need to be reinventing the wheel with some staff IC's pet project, especially if the mid-level IC's know what they're doing and can keep the lights on.

- The best engineers eventually leave for greener pastures. Of the engineers that stick around, the ones most likely to get promoted are the ones who are the most enthusiastic about designing (or just talking about) systems that no one wants or needs

True! Though be aware, what you are referring to is not energy production, which is what I was referring to. It is efficiency gains in energy consumption.

Most of the easy improvements have already been done. with the possible exception of insulating more (far harder than changing out electric bulbs or when new appliances get bought or computers age out replacing them with higher efficiency versions). Normal ICE cars and trucks have also hit diminishing returns efficiency wise.

Usually not so easy though as it may seem, especially in concrete, stone, or other masonry buildings which are very common in Europe.

What I’m referring to is far coarser grained, and on the production side.

Fossil fuels are very, very energy dense, and that energy is released/used through completely different mechanisms than electrical energy. So for heat, even if switching to heat pumps which are over unity devices (1 Input unit of energy can move almost 3x units of heat), the amount of energy required to do so for countries which need a lot of heat is astronomical. I did some back of the envelope math for Germany in another thread, and even being very conservative we’re talking 7x the total energy requirements of their current entire grid to replace natural gas for them.

So it’s more than just buying a heat pump and installing it, it’s a massive undertaking involving the equivalent of $120-$600k+ of capex to accomplish. That is for every many woman and child when you add it all up. One would hope they could be more efficient, but those prices already involve a huge economy of scale.

If the EU forms an army and has mandated no fossil fuels, they would need to spend a massive amount more capex to build that army than if they did not right now, let alone keep it energized. That takes time, resources from other things, and exposes them to unique supply chain challenges too.

If they want to just switch their economy off fossil fuels, right now that will likely take a 5-10 years even on a wartime footing. It takes time to build factories, source materials, R&D complex things. Many of these will depend on countries they may not want to depend on (such as chips from China or raw materials currently sourced from Russia). And that is a massive amount of money, on top of likely weapons manufacturing, etc.

If they wanted to do it in 2 years, I’m not sure it’s possible right now.
I'm consistently surprised that nobody ever talks about HTTP referrers, which are the most egregious of all privacy-invading functionalities -- and are enabled by default in EVERY browser, including the privacy-centric ones.

> What's changed: automation creating value automatically, different from rent-seeking.

In today's inflation-targeting macroeconomic framework, automation causes a decrease in the price of goods and labour, which would have a deflationary impact. To prevent structural deflation, interest rates are reduced, which increases the value of assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.

So I think automation can also support rent-seeking, although more indirectly.
Things like this remind me of efforts to make "simple" configuration systems. Inevitably you end up needing a general purpose programming language, but you instead have something never built for general purpose programming needs, and your days are spent checking random changes into source control until it "looks like it works".

> Lawns were mowed from May through September in 2013 and
2014, using a Toro 19″ self-mulching push mower, (mowing height set
at 6.35 cm). Grass clippings remained on the lawn. We assigned each
yard to a mowing frequency regime: mowed every seven days (oneweek; n = 8 yards), 12–14 days (two-weeks; n = 7 yards), or
18–21 days (three-weeks; n = 8 yards) to represent the range of typical
mowing behaviors (one to two weeks) to a more extreme frequency
(three weeks; Robbins, 2007). Seven yards participated in both years of
the study and thus these repeat yards were assigned a different mowing
regime for the second year of the study. To ensure households adhered
to the experimental restrictions (e.g., frequency and height of mowing),
we provided a free lawn mowing service and mowed all participating
lawns for the duration of the study

> Summarized bee abundance
and richness in relation to lawn mowing treatments were as follows:
weekly mowing = 1425 bees representing 72 species, mowed every two
weeks = 1903 bees representing 60 species, and mowed every three
weeks = 1259 bees representing 62 species (Fig. 2, Appendix A1). Our
rarefaction analysis reflected these overall abundance and richness
values, showing lower bee richness in the two-week treatment

This is such a great demonstration of the problem with "both-sidesing" things. You say all this as if "both sides" of this have equal power in the relationship, and this is something they can just politely disagree on and go on about their lives.

The reality is that if you need more flexible working arrangements, you are extremely subject to the whims of people who want offices to be the primary mode of work. If they don't want you to be remote, they don't need venom or arguments or to seem angry or even to seem to have much of an opinion at all. Simple inaction and lack of effort, followed by an "oh I'm sorry I forgot to tell you after we all got back from lunch" 3 weeks later is enough to make the remote person's situation untenable. Eventually the "oh I forgot you worked here. Just kidding hah hah hah" jokes kick in and then you know you're a couple months from being let go.

To have a successful working relationship with people who aren't in the office, work must be done by the people who are in the office to keep things working. Essentially, it can't work unless everyone adopts a remote-first approach where major discussions happen in writing out in the open.

The massive proliferation of slack and similar in the covid era certainly has and will continue to help establish this mode of working, but the people who don't want it because they feel uncomfortable when they don't see butts in seats 8 hours a day will likely put in a lot of passive-aggressive effort to bring things back to the old status quo.

I'm skeptical - if millions of minds can by synchronized upon an idea in the first place, I don't see why the same techniques necessarily can't be used to synchronize them upon a new idea. I mean, is this not fundamentally how "reality" works: mass synchronization of minds by training them with data (information)?

There is also bias when constructing a subjective big picture. Bias is more important in journalism. Perhaps editors should weigh language like this and edit publications since that is their job. It would be better to ban the word ethnicity but allow exceptions when the journalist feels it is needed and can justify it.

> The deep Indian strategic empathy toward Russia is rooted in India’s post-colonial heritage, a strong and understandable anti-Western sentiment that is largely the consequence of British colonial rule. During the Cold War, this transmuted into anti-Americanism, and India, though officially a leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, was closer with Moscow than with Washington.

There is truth to this since India saw similarities between itself and the socialist world. However, another factor that fueled anti-Americanism was America's closeness with Pakistan (starting in 60s). I do not understand why the authors did not explore that aspect.

I'm actually open to this argument for larger things that last longer and are less internalize-able, because the friction in the market starts to overwhelm its efficiency.

But dishwashers are not that expensive that you're stuck with them. Buying new, cost is less than most new appliances and similar to a phone, less than a laptop. The used market is so soft that, even in my LCOL area (with consequently tighter Craigslist market), I bought my 3 year old stainless steel dishwasher for $150. All this to say, you can bail on your dishwasher if someone starts selling one that is extraordinarily better than everything on the market.

As another thought exercise, you have apartment complexes or apartment buildings (working in hand with national or regional builders). These parties have the time horizon, large sample sizes, accounting capacity, and concern for costs to know the absolute best option for appliances in terms of how often maintenance is required and how much it costs. They're a large enough buyer, at least collectively, to constitute a market. Despite all this, the dishwashers in apartments where I've lived or visited seem exactly the same as the ones in friends homes. Why don't apartment complexes use low maintenance dishwashers? My suspicion is that they're complex machines with heaters (highest wear), pumps (high wear), and pressurized water in close proximity to electronics, built to a standard so they can be affordable in every US home.

But please, make it better. I like paying extra money for things built with engineer driven design.

Decisions get made at the water cooler, at lunch, in meetings where no one is taking notes, when one person stops by another person's desk... In person there are many opportunities for this information to spread by grapevine, because you actively see what other people are doing and you can ask.

Being remote often means you have more unknown unknowns, because you can't see the daily goings-on. If you haven't experienced this, you're either very lucky or your company is a lot more remote-centric than you think it is.
why are you wasting your time with accelerators? Listen, this whole game about VC, accelerators, startup events, finding a co-founder... all the noise you hear around early-stage / startup companies is just that: noise. Go build something, but more importantly, get it in front of customers. If you can't get someone interested and shouting "take my money!" then you need to keep iterating until you do. Realize you need other talents and help on your team? Great, bring in a co-founder. Need Money? More importantly, ask yourself "*Why* do we need money? What would that money do for us?" If you can't answer that for yourself, then keep on bootstrapping and selling product.

Key points here: Ignore what you see other people doing. It's about 99.9% an illusion.
Ehhhh there's a middle ground solution that will almost certainly be lost on all the Eurocrats, largely going by the previous prescriptive attempts with micro-usb for all phones etc:

Instead of mandating user-replacable whatever parts, go with right-to-repair type of legislature, where the manufacturer cannot try to lock you out from being able to replace what you need. We've already seen Lexmark and Apple lead the way with this BS in the consumer device space (crypto-pairing the parts and not letting anyone have the private keys), so right to repair would be of far more benefit that mandating that the next phone should have functionally have the form factor of 2000s Palm pilot.

I’ve tried dedup out, and even with a large powerful box with a LOT of duplicate files (multi-TB repositories of media files which get duplicated several times due to coarse snapshotting from other less fancy systems), I get near zero deduplication. I think it was literally low single digits percents.

ZFS dedup is block based, and actual block size varies depending on data feed rate for most workloads (zfs queues up async writes and merges them), so in practice once a file gets some non-zero block offset somewhere which happens all the time, even identical files don’t dedup.
Is it that way (genuinely asking) or is it a consequence of the way we write history being unkind?

I don't doubt for an instant that I work harder than QEII for example, but 2-300 years ago, a ruling class person would have probably worked somewhat hard, much like a CEO works today, since an entire ecosystem depended on the estate.

I doubt very much that a lord didn't understand what was bringing in the money for his estate, and the realities of what it means if the circumstances are not right to fulfil the criteria to bring in money.

(I sound like I'm advocating that this was a good thing or that I think they worked really hard, but I'm just postulating that we could be minimising their contributions based on our modern sensibilities and desire to dislike people of that class, and I include myself in that).
