It's the individuals who invent the things that are truly the most worthwhile, and the small groups surrounding them who bring more prototypes into reality. The kinds of new things that can become universally desirable without so much actually needing to disrupt anything old or established.

The capitalists might still be able to offer the best leverage to approach universality, but 50 years ago their currency was drastically debased like everyone else up and down the food chain.

These are losses that have never been recovered, but it still left the surviving capitalists in much stronger financial control relative to everyone else. Millions more citizens of a quite smaller country were pushed downward into more survival-type activities in place of the structure which had allowed the benefits of increased productivity to trickle down. There was great pressure to reverse the flow of that wealth trickle, which eventually prevailed and grew exponentially, it became more & more of a "consumer economy", trickling up. Until the vast majority of individuals' generational resources that could be allocated to innovation have been tapped out along with all kinds of other stores of wealth which is the only way a recovery at the top could be expected possible in the fewest decades.

Capitalism is not the problem when it benevolently leverages innovation, the damage is done when it leverages greed. It does not have to be ugly if you can truly afford better, and have the conviction to carry it out.

But the more financial control and resources you have access to the more money you can always make doing carefully crafted financial deals involving existing wealth, most people in that position are less likely to accept something new anyway.

So you really need inspirational amounts of resources to permeate much deeper into the population because you need so many millions more people empowered to work more innovatively if they so choose, because that's where you find the potential to turn "nothing" into something to begin with. Very few will actually make the absolutely incredible breakthroughs, so you need millions to whom it is just plain more within reach.

Probably about like when a single-income semi-skilled paycheck could still support a homeowning or suburban family lifestyle. Even if it's not the suburban-living crowd you expect to be doing the innovating. Sheesh, that's about 50 years behind us too isn't it?

When Wells Fargo is sitting on kilos of gold, there's always going to be people who are so impressed that they can see no value in anything else. Especially not turning nothing into something, when there is so much wealth already accumulated there to desire or get their hands on in some much more expedient way. Even more so when almost nobody has any gold at all unless Wells Fargo shows up and puts some on the table. If there was ever really enough to go around, why you wouldn't need Wells Fargo at all anymore.
Here's an idea. Pay employees a special annual bonus - say $30k to come into the office.

Management can choose to to forgo part of their own bonuses if money is hard to come by (which is not true in the case of GS)
Yeah, half those people probably love putting on a dress shirt and feeling fancy about walking into a Goldman office. The thing is, it just takes a toll on you long term.

This battle is not rooted in those who like remote and those who don’t. This battle has been fought a long time ago between K-12 and College. In K—12, you are under strict rules to show up on time for every class, 5 days a week, where attendance is taken. Every week for over a decade, and your best chance of escaping it is a snow day or a wonderful sick day.

Then you get to college and everyone says ‘enough of the nonsense’, you are free. Your obligation is to pass the class, whether that be by showing up to every lecture or just a few, whether you eat at the cafeteria every day or travel a few blocks to a restaurant.

It’s a matter of freedom. Covid was a black swan event that forced everyone for a second time to ‘cut the nonsense’, and ask ‘what is work really?’. Work is work that gets done. If work getting done is the measuring stick, then what is the superfluous push to add additional work? The commute, the banter, the office theatrics (yes, believe it or not I don’t work past lunch, even in the office - I’m staring blankly at the fucking screen). You want to keep the bullshit going?
It's not the battery size which is the issue here, but how much power the hardware uses. The capacity of the battery of the Framework is 55W, while the capacity of the battery of the M1 MacBook Air is 49,9Wh. So apparently Framework managed to fit a larger battery in a equally large case, without the need to glue it in.

For the majority of tasks for the majority of people in NA induction is better. Wok cooking is the only one that it makes tricky (not impossible) and your not doing proper wok cooking on basically any NA home gas cooktops anyway. for that you should be using a proper commercial propane burner. If your not doing that the correct pan (one that will hold and spread the heat) and cooktop will be pretty close to gas, unless you want to bash when putting it down I guess.

As for your cast iron maybe use the correctly sized induction element then? It’s cast iron and it doesn’t spread heat well, that’s how it works. You would have the same issue on a resistive element.
One good thing about clover is it can propagate naturally! If you had some native clover half kinda take last year, it should be verdant this year.
Exactly. Thank you for articulating this so well.

Nowadays people get either side of binary about all sorts of things. Then they fight for their side with tooth and nails without even considering ideas of other side of that binary. Truth is neither white or black it's millions of shades in between.
Why should they be subject to different rules to the rest of us?
Much better, especially given the whole point of the article is to show the athlete actually doing these things.
If you just "grab one before it goes to assembly line" this will likely have a huge impact on the assembly line. Factories put a lot of effort into managing inventory of material. Lead times on parts can often be in the months if not years. If there are unexpected shortages of parts and subassemblies, the hourly or daily costs of a line down can be enormous. Shipping one of something to an end consumer is usually a completely different supply chain than shipping containers full of finished goods to distribution centers which then go to retail. Taxes, tariffs, shipping methods, etc are all completely different. You can't just commingle things like this easily.
I'm a professional scientist, so let me give my two cents on this matter. Being able to compare your work against SOTA (state of the art) is pretty critical in academic publications. If everyone else in your area uses framework X, it makes a lot of sense for you to do it too. For the last few years, Pytorch has been king for the topics I care about.

However .. one area where Tensorflow shined was the static graph. As our models get even more intensive and needs different parts to execute in parallel, we are seeing some challenges in PyTorch's execution model. For example:

https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/cuda.html#use-nn-paral...

It appears to me that high performance model execution is a bit tricky if you want to do lots of things in parallels. TorchServe also seems quite simple compared to offerings from Tensorflow. So in summary, I think Tensorflow still has some features unmatched by others. It really depends on what you are doing.
I'm a single perpetual manchild like you. However, I look much younger than I actually am. At my age people typically suffer from age-ism in their career, I don't because of the way I look and that has allowed me to gain insights on certain things.

What I found is that my friends shifted over the years, with most being 15 years younger than me nowadays. Some know how old I am, some don't know. But overtime if they get use to you, the age thing doesn't matter.

If you want friends you should find it in younger people. An easy way to do that is to have suite mates or join a team in your job with younger people.

But it also depends on how you look. If you look obviously older, the first impression will take a bit of time to get over. Kids won't be inviting you to parties until they're more familiar with you, so it will take time.
At least in Europe, all manufacturers have to produce a standardised format document specifying things like energy usage. This is how I worked out that a particular Neff model washing machine is the same as a Bosch one, just with a different fascia. Pricing difference at local stores was about 100 EUR between the two, but identical specs and identical "responsible company".

What is a bit of a pain is the standard changed in the last few years, so trying to compare an old energy efficiency label that specifies kwh/year and litres/year against one that's per-cycle is .. hard. They also changed the rating system, so what used to be an A-rated TV is now about a D or E rated one.
Exactly. The indirect toll of covid will never be measured (or told) but is probably shockingly high.

What incentive is there for battery tech to "get there" when progress is essentially banned in the name of standard parts?

It's hard not to see this sort of regulation at the very least slowing down innovation and causing worse environmental outcomes as a side effect over a decades long scale. It won't be apparent to most people though, since they won't be able to see the counterfactual world where technology improved slightly faster.

No, "vaguely accurate" is a way of avoiding labels which are more precise and wrong. It's better to describe a disputed large quantity with the vague but accurate label of "millions" than choose a random scholar of unknown quality's estimate to 3 s.f as the correct figure.

Showing up in person is its own kind of pathology. If they offer masters online, why not undergrad? There's a lot of threads here with amazingly tone deaf people who are just "go to school" or "get a masters" when the gating factor is magicing up 4 years of potentially repeat credits to get your undergrad after already being a working professional.
Beautifully put, thoughts captured exceptionally well. The agony of lost friendships, the joy of the ones we cherish today, everything brought to life with words. This is one of those articles which will stick with me and I'll come back to re-read throughout the year. Big props to the author
There are few things gas is better at the induction, and for most of them there are workarounds. I would argue that the default for hikes and people just shouldn’t be gas. Induction is safer, cleaner, easier to clean, and more precise.

It's not disallowed: you can setup your own (even local) update server and point to it, but it's a bit of an undocumented chore.

Depending on you OS, it may be easier to eg. use an apt repo if you are running a Debian derivative.
I think you missed the point of the comment. I don't think this is a lack of interest in the topic per se -- it's demonstrating that when using the software, there was a clear separation between the 'teacher' and just using the software.

I think something is lost in translation here, the OP is saying that emotionally it doesn't matter to them if she wasn't real, they still hold her in high regard.

They are not saying, "I have no interest in this."
I'm not OP, though I see that he's among the few that shares this opinion of mine.

Take what I'm saying with a gigantic grain of salt because I am not some economist.

We have had 10 years+ of quantitative easing both in the US and in Europe, with it all peaking during the last 2 years due to Covid. This has delivered an aritificial stimulus to the economy in the form of basically free money. This has had a lot of consequences, including the craziness in the housing market & stock market, as well as a huge influx of money that went into other investments like startups, expansions and so on. Basically, in simpler terms, everybody could easily get money because money has been very cheap.

We are now starting to see the side-effects (of an otherwise arguably good thing) in the form of inflation. So the greater powers are now at a fork in the road - they either allow inflation to wreck the working and middle class or they turn off the money tap. The problem is that after living for so long with 0% interest rates, any significant change to this might trigger a recession that will make 2008 look like the good times.

I started my career after 2008, so I have only ever experienced an environment in which employeers were heavily competing for engineers (and generally workforce in all professions), so I'm afraid that anyone in a position similar to mine has simply no way of realizing the way things will look a few years from now.

Unless I'm seriously missing something of substance, then I'm afraid that there will be quite a few years in which people will lose homes, jobs, sanity and us privileged developers are maybe in a better position than most, but make no mistake - we will all suffer.
That was 50 years ago. A Black millennial may have grown up in a $200,000 house instead of a $300,000 house because their parents were redlined into a lower income neighborhood. But that Black millennial will have much lower income mobility as an adult than not only whites, but Hispanics and Asians who also grew up in $200,000 houses. The first order effect of redlining into the 1980s is reduced housing wealth. But that doesn’t explain why Black-white gaps haven’t changed since the 1980s while multiple waves of poor immigrants have come to the US since then and dramatically closed the gap with whites.

What explains those gaps? One possibility is persistent anti-Black animus. That doesn’t explain why Nigerian immigrants enjoy similar income mobility to whites with comparable education levels. It also doesn’t explain why gaps remain static even as prejudiced attitudes decrease.

There must be some explanation, such as higher order effects from housing segregation, to explain the persistent disparities. My point is simply that Black and indigenous people aren’t the only ones who have faced structural disparities that aren’t closing—so do some white ethnic subgroups. The reasons why these groups came to live in these communities in the first place may be unique, but the characteristics of these communities that make them poverty traps likely are not.
I'm not sure who you are using, but lots of low-code platforms let you self deploy across any cloud which will probably solve your 'number 2'.

It won't resolve your want to be able to migrate to another platform later down the line, but unfortunately that's mostly the same for most enterprise software (i.e. see all ERPs).
Yeah but this is the finance sector so more understandable. Like my partner works for one of these companies on the Wall Street and there are so many regulations, compliance etc. that a regular SV startup never comes to close and WFH just made everything more complicated and less secure.

Those propane burners are wicked. I still can remember the sounds of when they are turned on and off (Chinese hole in the wall restaurants usually have the kitchen right next to dining).

They make induction cooktops for woks (they are basically slightly bowl shaped), I’m not sure how popular they are in Asia, however.
ETL tools are what came to mind for me. To some degree, we can already observe no-code examples like you mention in engineering fields.

So far, the driving force behind no-code is the limitations of the overall workforce. Data engineering is a field that is desperately needed in many companies, but without a sufficient workforce to meet the demand.

> no-code has the potential to massively improve the day-to-day lives of programmers

In this, I don't agree at all. It is not an improvement to someone who can write code to do anything they want, and force them to learn the quirks and limitations of a no-code environment. How many engineers want to spend their days managing broken configurations rather than solving problems? Simple things are often simple, but hard things become impossible. What then?

Going back to data engineering -- what I see is a large percentage of jobs that don't even require programming as a skill. How many people with more than 5 years of experience will apply to these specialized tools-based positions? What happens to the problem solving capabilities of your teams?

You may achieve a fully replaceable workforce when you take this path, but you also accomplish a brain drain. Worse for engineers -- as these tools fail to meet the needs of business, they come and go like fads. Unless you want to learn a new set of tools and their limitations every 2-3 years, it is impossible to remain employable in certain fields.

To me, no-code is exactly the wrong direction. Knowing how to solve problems in code is one of the most valuable skills for modern work. The problem lies in our education system, which has not embraced that it is as important as the "three R's". Efficiency of work would be greatly improved if more people knew how to write code (at least scripting) than if fewer people did.

I appreciate the authors intentions, which appear to want to include everything during this time (e.g. increase in obesity and suicides). Basically, it's an overall view of the cost of the pandemic AND our responses to it.

However, I think this will be used to discuss the disease. I'm skeptical of there being serious underreporting of deaths due to covid in developed countries (e.g. US, Japan). As far as I can tell, there is really only a mechanism for over reporting (e.g. died with covid instead of died of COVID).
yeah, they aren't made like in the 60s anymore; I wouldn't say 6-7 years isn't criminally unreliable, but it is incredibly disappointing and would be a big negative mark for considering the same manufacturer again.

On the plus side, in comparison to 60s fridges they're quite a bit more energy efficient.

I would avoid ultra bottom end fridges that do not have active fan cooling. I would go for lower end to middle of the road type budgets.

Try a different manufacturer. Whirlpool can be price competitive. To me, quality wise they seem not bad, but often can have mediocre OEM components that fail within the time range you experienced on your Samsung fridge. If it's a component that's easily replaceable (in this case, not compressor related) that's something I can tolerate.

To the OP, is it something that broke that would not be economically practical to get repaired by a professional?

Another fundamental challenge is how to receive telemetry and data from the probe once it gets there. The DSN can communicate receive from Voyager 2 - in fact it is right now. https://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html

But our closest star is much further away and it’s an interesting challenge to send a powerful enough transmitter that far - power being the main problem- and have an antenna on Earth or locally in space that can receive the data.

There’s also a question of bandwidth. Voyagers downlink is 160 bits per second. Webb is about 25Mbps. What bandwidth is achievable at that range?

It’s doubtful the probe would be able to receive because you wouldn’t want to send a massive antenna that far out.

There’s propagation delay which would be 4.2 years in one direction in the case of our closest star Proxima Centauri.

If we take a long view - as in, the original team would be long dead when the mission completes - I suspect this is achievable.

Check out the Lucy mission which is impressive in its orbital complexity and long time horizon if you’re into this stuff.
