On time scales of centuries or millennia there are only three outcomes for humanity:

- Extinction - We don't need to care about it, because there are no descendants.

- Advancement - We will be able to handle the problem better as our technology improves.

- Stagnation/regression - We don't need to care about it. Our descendants will have to worry about dysentery, crop failures and regional warfare. Some magic rocks that kill people will end up as curios in warded laden boxes after first adventurous monk opens sarcophagus and succumbs to curse.
> The bayesian sees this […] as the probability changing with more knowledge. The frequentist sees it as […] a correction on what was previously a more wrong probability.

Ok, so the Bayesian starts with one probability (the best available) and ends with another probability (the best available). While the frequentist ends with two probabilities - one more right and one more wrong. Good enough for this discussion, it makes clear that frequentists are also able to use the “more right” probability instead of the “more wrong” probability when they know more. (Of course they can also keep using the “more wrong” probability - we agree that both options exist.)

> The statement and usage of the worse model is still relevant and has semantic meaning.

Sure. But the meaning no longer includes “as far as we know” as it would be in the absence of other knowledge. It’s still relevant but not as much as before. And I still wonder if you really claimed that _nobody_ would say “there is 0% probability of rain in the next ten days” if they knew it with certainty - or maybe I misread your comment.
I mostly agree with this in pragmatic sense. I'm seeking coulda woulda shoulda alternate history counterfactuals here, I argue no future nuclear proposal will make sense but in deep time, 60s, we missed the boat and could have been in a radically different place.

There is no future path where even SMR can arrive at price point and power rating to replace the overbuild of wind and solar with storage, which provides the same energy reliability. Overbuild sounds negative but it's not: you need more than nameplate power and more units widely dispersed to avoid outages from local weather. With that comes more for storage, more for H2 conversion, desalination, other uses.

Basically, we should be further along our de-carbonisation. It's all about the past.
adjust accordingly.

I believe design patterns are patterns: the reason iterator, builder, adapter etc. exist is because they often simplify your code. That doesn’t mean applying them always simplifies your code.

Different languages are better for different scenarios, e.g. Rust is better than Lua for performant apps but worse for embedded scripts. Similarly different paradigms are better for different scenarios, e.g. mutable/OOP is usually better than immutable/FP for games / simulations with lots of state, but usually worse for distributed computing.
"Financing problems" translates to "people finally recognized it could never earn back what they would need to put in to finish it".
>But if you were caught and tortured by someone you didn't previously know for awhile, you would still probably identify them pretty accurately.

If that was your only interaction with them, I doubt it. You're likely in the most stressful situation of your life, memorizing what a person looks like may not be high on your list of priorities.

There's the famous Ronald Cotton case where a woman was raped and consciously tried to memorize their attackers face. She proceeded to pick an innocent man out of two lineups until a decade later DNA evidence proved his innocence. The actual perpetrator was also in the lineup, and she swore she had never seen him.

Nobody cares this much about you. In this context you would only be out of a job if you worked for "big pharma", or a sugar/tobacco company (maybe). While it is true that you simply can no longer say certain things (such as that you don't "believe" in the holocaust), I'd say this is not broadly an issue. Perhaps you feel differently, that's fair. But based on these examples it doesn't really make sense to me.
They don't have much to show for it though, other than the infamous GAIA-X association which got (as expected...) promptly captured by the US tech industry including Palantir of all companies. A goddamn joke, but what else can be expected when the one to initiate it was Peter f...ing Altmaier of Germany's CDU infamy?!

I agree, but I think it's hard for us non-farmers to grasp the scale of industrial agriculture. I would love it we switched over to another way of doing things, but with 8 billion people, there is no feasible way back to an earlier, organic way of life.

How are we going to feed another 2 billion people let alone those that we have without fossil fuel inputs? Maybe biotech will save us, but I am skeptical.
It depends on your starting point. Java-like classes are simpler to you because you already know them. JS prototypes have a few simple rules you also need to know. I personally think both are simple.

Some intel laptops (Ivybridge chips definitely, sandy Bridge probably) had such warnings because officially the chip couldn't support running three displays due lacking enough clock generators. Given the almost-analog nature of HDMI and naive LVDS, this meant trouble.

Thing is, Display Port has much more different physical layer derived from PCIE, and so connecting two displays by DP and running internal screen with LVDS worked just fine.
Modern Google/Apple maps are incredibly low contrast and I don't know why. Seems like they want to have streets and land stand back to make room for features such as pin locations, buisness markings (advertising) or dedicated layers such as traffic.

I really don't get it. Here in Germany, in the last century, "road atlases" were a thing, big maps with great overview and detail maps which were basically at maximum contrast. For examples, see for instance https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=autokarte+deutschland&iax=i...

It seems that OSM (OpenStreetMaps) gets this "more right" in some respect, but still it is not the same. Why? Too little confidence of the map makers to highlight the correct things?

Could adding the ability to create a public checklist be a feature request? That way I could create a list of goals, or things to check off over time. Also numbered lists, this would help with the goals, and habit checklists. That might be too many feature suggestions for right now lol.
It might be that. As I use Java-like classes everywhere; and the moment they were possible in JS through Babel, I jumped on that too.

I use a variety of options depending on the complexity of the illustration. I use tikz for very simple figures, while geogebra for mathematical ones with tikz/pgf export. I use Inkscape to render drawings which have more elements and are complex with latex output included.
> Actually I have seen outages related to people being too zealous and reporting errors related to closing the response body on otherwise successful requests.

I kinda get it though, because the compiler or linters will show that as a warning or error going "bruh you forgot to handle this error", and as a perfectionist one wants to get rid of all of those.

I mean IMO those should be logged anyway, if only so you get some data on how often it happens, if there's anything that can be done about it, and if it's harmless, to ignore the error - but make it explicit.
AFAIK no, sounds like a good feature to have though.

> Loads of people go out to the countryside to retire.

they imagine themselves wanting to go out to the country side to retire, but would find that living in remote places that doesn't have facilities to be poor quality life.

you want to travel to the countryside for leisure - may be even for extended vacation. But you will almost always want a "home base" in a big metropolitan area for when services are needed - such as medical or home helper etc.

Solar does not, in fact, require rare earths. (And, incidentally, "rare earths" are very, very far from rare; that is just a name.) And, the cost to clean them once in a while is very low.

You are reaching. The fact is that renewables are the cheapest source of power that has ever happened on this planet, and they are still getting cheaper.

Storage is likewise cheap and very quickly getting much, much cheaper. By the time we actually need any, you will not notice the cost.

Think about it this way.

All of the uranium used as fuel came from the ground. Now, we will be putting smaller quantity of other, also radioactive, materials into ground.
Lot of places have high natural levels of radiation[0], sometimes they even make it as a spa location[1].

People were living around radiation since before they were people. And they managed. We still do.

In the end the question is if we want some radioactive pollution that is easy to contain in the near term, or a lot more carbon pollution that is impossible to contain in the near term.

One is destroying the planet as we speak. The other might be a problem few centuries in the future, if there is one.

When one is drowning in a torrent of superfluous UI changes and the UX mediocrity of Windows, Android or Linux, poor software seems inevitable.

Those that do notice, likely assume that the dev can’t do better or doesn’t care.

What would you do if somebody did complain about your UI or UX, rewrite the framework’s UI controls and animations? Switch frameworks? You’d probably thank them for the feedback and say you’ll add it to your task list, where it will linger for weeks or months until it’s closed “won’t fix” because only few people asked about it.

I'm pretty sure they'd rather deal with a bit of entombed nuclear waste buried deep in the ground instead of a dead, polluted and depleted planet.
There will be no compact fusion power. Money put into that is money wasted that could have been spent on something that has a chance of making a difference.

Likewise, nukes: a dollar plowed into nukes generates, many years later, much less power than a dollar of renewables that start producing immediately. You spend on coal the whole time while the nuke is being built, and the amount you have spent just on coal, by then, would have bought as much renewable generating capacity as your nuke.

Perhaps I have a misunderstanding of what steelmanning is but this isn't exactly how I know it. I'm not aware of any requirement to take or believe your opponents argument as your own.

This seems more an argument for the adage "don't be so open minded your brains fall out".
It depends.The manual pages of a lot of GNU tools are very bad because "you should use info". Info is a pain to navigate.
imo the real value of ML in imaging is going to come from the use of variational inference in scope development. due to their raster scanned nature, off the shelf 2p scopes can deliver high resolutions or high framerates, but not both. 2p scopes using compressive sensing have been developed to get high resolution at high framerates have been developed, but there is a lot more room for optimization, and the scope i'm thinking of has convergence issues (compressive sensing generally has good problems but this one ends up being ill-posed).

variational inference is basically super-powered compressive sensing in this context. compressive sensing exploits the correlated nature of voxels in the iamge via some sparsity in some domain, it's a pretty weak prior. there's a lot more structure to be exploited. the statistics of natural tissue can be modeled with ML, as can the physics of the measurement process.

the trick is posing the problem in a way that comes with convergence guarantees. to my knowledge no one has done this yet. a lossy microscope is not very useful.
Since no one seems to have mentioned it yet: D3.js
I think it's deliberate sabotage to prevent the year of the Linux desktop.
Steelmanning is not the same as agreeing with an argument. According to the article, there can be situations that if you are steelmanning position X, you can be 'strawmanning' position Y. This however is not true. You can always steelman both positions (take the most charitable interpretation of both or multiple sides of the argument even if they contradict each other).

Don't confuse agreement with interpretation. As soon as you are stating some hypothesis is plausible (as in the article), you are starting to agree with the hypothesis, not just interpreting it.

Also imho the author is overanalyzing the concept. For me it just means argue in good faith so you can have a fruitful debate about the matter at hand instead of a distrustful word fight. All within reason of course.

Interesting read, thanks.

Have you considered going „full web“ with a PWA, foregoing a native container completely? That was my expectation when I saw the headline.

I have a couple of business apps implemented as offline-capable PWAs and the experience has been so-so. Still hoping for better browser support especially on iOS.

Customers love that they can instantly push updates and are not bound by arbitrary rules enforced by the gatekeepers (App Store, Play Store). Bit of course some crucial things are missing. App discovery through the platform app store for instance is something that just doesn’t need to be explained to users. Also the absence of push notifications hurts.
Why isn't then the anti-abortion laws similar to laws for murder? Can you sue strangers for murdering some other strangers?

I don't buy the "my point is that it's murder"-arguments, as the behaviors from those people don't really align with that. Why not instead focus on stuff that science and experience tell will reduce the amount of abortions and human suffering? My guess: Because it's mostly about control of others, right?

There's a non light terminological issue there. To say that specimen "as found in nature" are weak at something (uneducated) is one think, to say that it is "connatural" to them, that it is "their nature", is completely different¹. I would not mix them up.

I was in the top 2.1% and I used all non-technical words. The most obscure words I used were trimmed off (it only uses 7) and the ones it counted seemed to be words I expect all people of average intelligence to know.

It honestly seems like a rather poorly executed test. Valid nouns that are too obscure or "technical" to be in the word list get dropped but the person I know that got the highest score (95.07 raw score, 99.4 percentile) used "titties" (not even a real word) and at least two of the other words he used weren't even nouns (nouns are stated as a requirement).
Not sure if there is anything against changing your IMEI to the IMEI of another device you own and purposefully break to avoid any future network collusion.

Either way, since they have a Queltec modem, just write AT+EGMR=1,7,“NEWIMEI” over tty to the modem and your IMEI is permanently changed.

This means your carrier will provision your device on their network.

Author here. I wasn't aware people had made Lua Server Pages and so on. Thanks, these are an interesting resource and I may actually investigate experimenting with these at some point.

If there's a distinction to be made, it's that things like mod_php provided this embedded script functionality out of the box, whereas it looks like these things are separate modules that need to be stacked on top of something like mod_lua. That's not necessarily even a bad thing, as it means more of the stack is readily customised, but it does mean people aren't given an obvious, bright path to get started with in the way LAMP was. You have to seek it out for yourself.
I don’t want to be wildly unkind, so I’ll keep it to this: your limited experience here is not sufficient basis to prognosticate on an entire industry.

The breadboard view is the selling point of Fritzing. Kikad, LibrePCB or EasyEDA do not really offer this feature. That said, calling Ftrizing an EDA is exaggerated but it has his usage when a full featured EDA is not needed (yet).
