that is fallacious considering e.g. non-coding DNA
see e.g. https://www.quora.com/How-many-bytes-memory-size-is-a-humans...
the estimate is more like 50MB and the difference between humans of the dozen of MBs.
Considering that the brain is just one component of our very complex bodies, that's just a couple of MBs at max allocated to Brain encoding, including data that is needed for constructing the brain structurally, and not encoding a memory or running the runtime.
The brain runtime probably has a ~1MB max DNA budget, which is pathetically small.
Alhough that is an underesearched topic (there is not even a dedicated wikipedia page), genetic memory is a thing (how do spiders learn to draw the web, some animals know how to walk at birth, to breath, birds innately know how to nest (and some maybe how to fly). Genetic memory is a nice topic and I wonder if we have findings how it manifest (via IRMs, etc) but it's unclear how/where it is encoded given that the DNA budget is very very tight.
> effectively zero compile-time, one can achieve significantly tighter iteration cycles across a team

I don’t know what machines do people develop on, but on a fairly old laptop I get practically instantaneous iteration with incremental compiles with Rust, which is one of the slowest compiling languages. I honestly can’t imagine where is this supposed slow compiles in case of something like Java - like sure one can create some monstrosity of a build definition, but if some competent person wrote it it is just as fast as an interpreted language. Hell, it can do hot swapping just fine.
This has been an issue with Teslas for a while. Sounds like poor decision-making to use Bluetooth for this.

Probably consciousness and sense of self? (Not GP). Or lack thereof.

Full disclosure: i don't think the debate is on these grounds, i think the violinist or the seed-people are better ways to think about abortion right now (and at least until unwanted children are completely taken care of by the society and not the mother, and until a pregnancy gives you a white year/have no influence on your career prospects).

But I did some research last year about consciousness in animals (i was always a functionalist, Chamets made me an illusionnist, i wanted to understand what it meant for animals and for AI). I was quite shocked to learn that a baby in his first weeks had a worse sense than any newborn mammal, and than most birds.

What does that mean? For functionalists (probably GP is one), going full moral utilitarist, killing a litter (to avoid getting overwhelmed by kittens) is probably ten time worse than killing a three weeks old baby. Luckily, while i think utilitarist moral intuitions are probably the most accurate, I'm not fully utilitarist, and this kind of intuition repulse me.

All of this to say that thinking logically, being pro-life to avoid 'murder' should push people to go full vegan (or eating only insects and seafood), and aborting a cat or killing a litter should be prosecuted as well.
Interdependence can be complicated and assymetric. Russian gas dependency indeed provides a disincentive for Germany to support Ukraine against Russia, but at the same time it emboldened Russia because Putin likely believed the EU was weak due to its dependency on Russian gas.

The EU is not a single united market like the US is.

Sure, you can bunch the countries together and get high GDP number but that's not an Apples to apples comparison with the US as every EU country has it's own completely different languages, economy, political and economic agenda, culture, market, legal and tax system, and local issues plus high levels off autonomy from the EU.

The EU is not the United States of Europe therefore cannot compete with the US toe to toe as it's not 300 million people speaking the same language and having the same culture and laws, but 300 million people spread across 27 countries, speaking 24 official languages, with little overlap in laws and culture from end to end, that's why there are no successful software giants that came out of Europe and there's no EU military.

I think he knows there are less than 5% bots on Twitter and wasn't happy about paying 44bn for a 20bn company.
I dunno about that. Most of the team was "very Canadian" and didn't want to move to California - the main reason we rejected the SF deal (I was the only one who accepted in full the acquihire, the team did not move in the end). $300k, staying in Canada, would have gone a long way to providing a stronger team cohesion at the time. Maybe we would have succeeded.

Also, we were near completing a $10k/month enterprise deal but didn't have the runway to finish those sales in time. Additionally, we had Government of Canada contracts at $3k/month in the pipeline, which we did eventually complete. Our software was running on millions of phones, we had enterprise pipeline deals, signed government contracts (hard to come by I hear!) and a darn good team.

Hard to say how it would have played out, but, what's clear to me is that it wasn't clear that the $300k would have been lost.
> I may be generalising but I find older (40+) programmers more likely to write good code

I think it's also because they don't deal with complexity as well as younger programmers so they strive for simplicity (which is good).

> I must admit, the _art_ of writing readable code really appeals to me and is one of my finest joys in programming

Totally agree. Unfortunately, this isn't rewarded as much in a professional settings were you're expected to write features. Refactoring is much less visible, unless you're refactoring a piece of code which everyone was struggling with.
The more I learn about finance the more I'm confused how 2008 actually happened. We actually have some pretty good regulations in place.

This! I have a good friend of mine who is very active on Instagram and tiktok, where I don't have an account. But the fact that we are doing activities together makes us close. Real life exists, and it's infinitely better than whatever the social app of the moment is.
You are half-right, in that any money spent goes somewhere, thus the government deficit spending to finance the war becomes business or household income.

However, war is expensive in strictly economic term due to the physical destruction of resources.

A bombed factory cannot produce cars. If the skilled engineers needed to rebuild or operate the factor are not available (dead, otherwise occupied, etc), this will also result in economic loss.

The investment to convert a factory from car-making to military-vehicle making only generates long-term value if the military continues to order from that factory. Otherwise, that investment does not generate a return, likewise it takes additional investment to convert it back to car manufacture.

Ukraine is not selling much wheat this year, due to the war. Since this wheat is perishable, its economic value is lost.
> I've never understood car makers obsession with proximity unlock.

The competition has it. Some people like it.

And in Tesla's case, it saves money. There is no cylinder on the steering column, no cylinder in the door, no steel key to manufacture, no rod going to a physical unlock switch, and no physical unlock switch. So we've saved 500 grams in the car and probably a good $20 too, no to mention the room in the door for the rod and the physical switch, which add engineering work.

There is a long tail of removing grams and dollars from the car manufacturing process, and 500 grams and $20 is significant. This long tail is why e.g. the Model 3 uses a touch screen for most controls, why the rear glass extends far into the roof, and many other seemingly-"premium" features of the Model 3. It's actually cheaper to manufacture them this way.
They are very proud of the fact that they don't follow other's "lessons learned" - because Elon assumes everyone else is an idiot and their assumptions suck.

Sometimes he's right. Often he is not.

Several dramatic "defects" of Tesla's could have been prevented - but why should Tesla care? "Bring it in for a fix!" they say. "It is not our money! Haha!" they say. And investors and buyers keep coming.
Ahh ok thank you, I will look into that.
The communist famines were primarily caused by forced collectivization which disrupted the agriculture industry, incompetent centralized administration, and poor economic planning. They were literally caused by communist policies. The Great Potato famine was caused by potato blight and and the Indian Famine was caused by drought.

We need to downgrade our expectations some in the US for what a minimum, viable kitchen is. We tend to have oversized refrigerators compared to other countries and it's actually problematic because you can't keep milk cold enough to not spoil in a mostly empty, oversized fridge.

European kitchens for a family tend to have fridges like US hotels and dorm rooms. My understanding is most Japanese kitchens have no oven. They use a wok for most things.

We have ridiculous minimum standards and it actively gets in the way of providing basic, decent housing.

That sounds like a fun project, but I think you're overthinking how hard this needs to be. Instead of 3D printing an enclosure to fit the laptop, just fill it out with some goop like sugru or something. It just has to not rattle, is all.

For voltage, just get some cheap buck converter board off Ebay, one that you can adjust down to the voltage the laptop needs, and have your battery pack a higher voltage than that. And a Li-Ion BMS board to charge it of course.

The US’ overshoot day is March 13, 19.73% into the year.

So a bit under 5.1 earthes.

Although interestingly because the USA are a large, sparse, and resource-rich country, it doesn’t live that much beyond its own means ecologically: 2.4 USA would be enough to fulfill its needs, whereas (per the above) the netherlands being a dense and resource-poor country it would need a bit more than 7 of itself.

Yes exactly! My yardstick for the "spiritual" health of the internet is how easily I can have two devices across the internet communicate without a service in the middle. It shouldn't be difficult in theory.

I _can_ send a file from my phone to another friend's phone via ftp for example, but only if both are on WiFi, have port forwarding turned on on the router, and either just have the most up-to-date dynamic IP stored, or are using dynamic DNS, or have a static IP allocated from their ISP, which is less common at least here in the UK.

C#'s using is also not calling the "destructor", it's calling .Dispose()

C# and Python have actual destructors "nobody" uses because they are GCed languages which make this discussion confusing (well, in Python they do sometimes, because it is reference counted and more predictable, making the discussion even more confusing).

I'm treating __exit__() and .Dispose() as "destructors" here, in the sense that they are implicitly called methods that free the resource (like drop in Rust), vs defering a call to close, which is explicit and "configurable" (you have to call the right method).

You get to keep the variable around, but the resource itself is gone after the with/using block, you have to reacquire it. With some changes to the way the APIs were written, it would make a bit more sense (IMO):

files = [File("a.txt"), File("b.txt"), File("c.txt")]
for f in files:
with f.open('r'):
print(f.read())
return files

I personally extremely dislike the fact that "as f" is not scoped.

Tesla provides (two-step) Multi-Factor Authentication to be able to drive the car:

- Unlock the car via BLE. Not able to drive away.

- Enter a PIN-to-drive on car screen, to turn on the virtual ignition. Able to drive away.

Unfortunately, the PIN to drive is not enabled by default.

Pin-to-drive can be bypassed through the Tesla mobile app, and this bypass is not relayed to the car via BLE but rather via the link between car and Tesla servers.

Therefore, someone with proximity to a locked phone can unlock the car, and someone with access to an unlocked phone can unlock the car and drive away.

> If they really believe that they would let the market make it happen

"The market" is not an entity. It's a collective of people, those people have prejudices and friends. Those primarily factor into what happens - thus, more of the same in-group ends up at the top. This is frankly such a base explanation it's bordering on bad-faith reasoning, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
I find this to be a good motivator to make better interactions with co-workers & friends. Since giving up FB/Instagram I've found conversations with friends to be much more engaging and fulfilling

I'm opposed to anything that creates a second class citizen pool in the US. Obviously our immigration system is due for reform. In the end, it should be an all or nothing thing. You're either a guest on holiday, or you have a path to citizenship. We shouldn't have workers who can't benefit from their long term contributions to our society.

My strong opinion is that anyone who resides here, regardless of origin, should be given a fair, and reasonable path to US Citizenship. An amnesty date should be set, and enforced.

We should not have an internal pool of serfs driving down wages.

We should also eliminate private prisons, and prison industrial complex.

This doesn' t look very easy on arms to me. My current favorite position is use a 30cm small bench and a low desk(less than 1m) with back lean or not lean on sofa cushion. So you can switch squatting and sitting very quickly by moving the small bench. It' s less likely to feel tired with more muscle in stress occasionally. And when you stand up there' s slightly more work done than normal sitting.

Wish the game was remade, it has many interesting concepts, especially for its time, but the visual presentation and some gameplay elements hadn't aged well.

It was an example of an early open world game. The most interesting part of the game is the first chapter. The game very directly makes you go south towards Krondor, and the path north contains some large enemy packs. But if you manage to defeat the two large enemy packs, it gets much easier later on and you can take a very long detour around the entire map. This means you can access some high level equipment and spells early on in the game. The game designers actually planned for this possibility, because there are some quests in those areas that can only be completed in the first chapter (normally you'd explore these areas around the third chapter at least).
I understand your frustration because there really is the sentiment among some people today that “privileged” [1] people should be punished for the crimes of their ancestors.

However a law that says that the board of a large enough company can’t be all male (and then also not all female) is actually not the stupidest idea.

It should absolutely be considered a temporary stop-gap and automatically revoked as soon as some threshold of women on boards is achieved, but it actually is sometimes necessary to give people a little kick in the butt to get things going.

I don’t live in California so I don’t know the specifics of this law, just saying that the idea in general is not as terrible as some of the bad woke stuff.

[1] I say privileged in quotes because usually it’s enough that people look similar to people that are or have been privileged.
