I'm surprised that OPEC is going to let this happen. Self interest would dictate that they work hard to get rid of Russia as a competitor. Venezuela should be jumping up and down that they are able to sell oil at a $100+ price more than ever. Why is OPEC not taking the opportunity? And letting Europe, US?, fall into recession by not increasing supply faster.
Junk writing with cherrypicked examples. As mentioned by others, the collapse of the Roman empire was not slow. Blockbuster may have fallen quickly, but it wasn't any more complex than other companies of our time that have risen quickly or fallen slowly.

Complexity can be fragile or it can be stable. A system with redundancies and ways to adapt can be quite complex and yet stable. And many, many simple systems collapse quickly, for instance most start-ups. It's just not as noticeable as a huge system collapsing quickly.
Isn't this bookmarks with extra steps?
I don't think it's just pulling the levers the wrong way. The problem is that the same attributes that made a system successful initially are the ones that bring it down. One example might be the ancient Maya: they had a king who was also the head of their religion (and an athlete, and a musician.. he was a big celebrity). That worked great for a while because it helped to bring people together to have a leader like that. Anyways the Maya were having issues with deforestation, and trade routes moving, and so forth. Now the king was supposed to be talking to the gods to avoid this sort of thing. If he was to say, "we need to go back to more sustainable agriculture, and deal intelligently with having less wealth for a while" his subjects would probably kill him. He's not supposed to tell them to make sacrifices, he's supposed to be perfect and he's supposed to arrange things with the gods so they don't have to make compromises. So he has to say "the gods are angry, they demand temples and sacrifice" and so the Maya went on a construction spree while also launching costly wars against their neighbors. This did not improve the situation.

Take a look at capitalism. It's predicated on competition in which the company that can expand the fastest, grow the fastest, wins and eats the other companies. And profits must increase every year or else capital just packs up and goes somewhere else. It's great if you want development at maximum speed. But not so great if you grow so much you threaten the earth you live on. But, our whole society is structurally unable to do anything else than this. Faced with economic problems, the only answer our system can give is to double down, do more capitalism faster and more aggressively. The bigger the problems, the more we double down on what worked before. Not the best idea. But since power and wealth in our society comes from holding capital, and since holding capital only brings you that power and wealth if it can move and grow- that means to do anything else than double down would require all the people to hold power and wealth in our society to lose that power and wealth. They'll see any threat to their power as a more immediate problem than global warming, which is slow moving and will affect everyone else first before they suffer at all.

> ...it isn't clear that a software taxi driver is in any way better than a human taxi driver...

If there is sufficient surge coverage that I can get an autonomous vehicle within 10 minutes of hailing one 90% of the time and 15 minutes 100% of the time for example, and the fares are reasonably based off of amortizing across 24x7 operational hours. Then the financials flip for a lot of people who either do not want or cannot afford the capex much less opex of owning and operating their own private vehicle.

Furthermore, if the AV companies work with municipalities to share ride data in the form of urban public transit planning data in exchange for a small passive income slice of the parts of the data turned into actual implemented public transit routes, it is a win for everyone. The AV company gets to expand territory with a more efficient capital stream to replace old territory mostly ceded to public transit without burdensome capex, and everyone else gets empirically-tested public transit routes with little of the usual route planning risks.

With software-driven coordination, I really hope to see vehicles as just the leading edge of a trend to amortize the capex of expensive items across more people, leading to more Buy It For Life/Generations quality of those items, and less environmental impact of a throwaway items per individual orientation in the current market.

The description reminds me of the style of writing found in a lot of French/continental philosophy. The ideas might be interesting but a simple concept is usually surrounded by layers of literary detritus usually borrowed from fields the author doesn't understand.
A programmable programming language is one where you can alter the fundamental building blocks of the programming language to make it perfect for you.

Unfortunately, once you have more than 1 programmer involved in the project, you end up with slightly different versions the same concepts.

You might be interested in bot programming section of https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming . The programming interface is standard input output based so they support a lot of programming languages including Rust.

They also occasionally organize live tournaments lasting for a week or two, which introduce a new game. From the names like fall-challange-2021 and spring-challange-2021 I assume those happen no more than every 6 months.

In general the ones that are in form of temporary contests often support many languages due to same reason I mentioned before. One thing to watch out that due to sandboxing reasons and the platform needing to compile your code any third party libraries are usually not available. This might be slightly more painful for Rust and their crate based ecosystem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_Challenge series used to be good but they are not organizing new ones.

You haven’t had to service it, except for the things where you had to service it? ICE cars also don’t need much servicing in their first five years, except for a couple of oil changes.
Ridiculous that they are framing it as ending because of Ukraine. The richest country in the world can afford $10B to feed children on top of everything else. Maybe they should send a team to India to figure out how they manage to provide free hot lunch to 130+ million schoolchildren every day.
My dreams have a cinematic universe of their own. Many of my dreams have stories and characters connected to my other dreams.
Coalton* is a language that interoperates natively with Common Lisp, and has a type system that exceeds the expressiveness of Haskell 98 (but not modern GHC Haskell).

It compiles to native, highly optimized machine code.

How does one know that you don't create the dream at the point that you're explaining it? Like a false memory.

Thinking up an idea and remembering an idea probably have similar patterns on EEG. I guess that experiment has been done?

At times I've had pretty interesting dreams, but since I was a teen (decades ago) wondered if perhaps the dream was made on the spot as I "remembered" it. Provided the creative part kept ahead of the "recall" part then it seems doable.

I wonder if there could be negatives to greater dream recall, processing memories of dreams sounds like extra work for your finite brain functions to handle.

I once woke from a dream with a sense of religious injunction, and still have the name I was "given" as a curiosity in my life, "St Athanasius of Lubensk". I had never heard of the forename nor the place at the time of the dream. Research showed them to separately be something. If you have details, let me know.
There have been studies done with amphetamine and methamphetamine where participants have been unable to tell which they were given. No difference in effects.
There are many steps needed in order to "create those new things." Not all of them can be automated in the short-term or the medium-term for that matter. That's where most though not all of the job growth will concentrate.

Labor shortages are not a temporary phenomenon, whether here in the US or elsewhere. They are already locked for at least several generations due to present-day demographics and family trends. Empty Planet by Darrell Bricker & John Ibbitson explains why far better than I can.

I still reminisce about the first big project I ever built. As an intern I was told high level what to do and given two years alone in a room working eight hours a day to figure out how to build it, zero guidance from anyone.

I didn’t really have any concept of importing libraries or using open source software, so literally every part of this huge and complex application was custom-written by me. All UI elements were custom designed from shape primitives, including a full time series graphing utility and a drag-and-drop programming language with compiler. The database was built by me using a custom binary data format I had invented and lots of disk IO.

It was extremely fragile, but it was also the most beautiful and functional app I have ever used to date. I wish it weren’t a Java applet so I could host it on the web again, but alas.
I had a 2006 Cadillac CTS that had to get the engine rebuilt (btw, very comfortable cars, but they're basically garbage made out of styrofoam). I know it's infrequent, but it happens.

And either way, the issue isn't just with the engine-- having an ICE means you need to make a bunch of design choices you wouldn't otherwise have made, you're forced to use certain materials over others, you're forced to account for all sorts of material stress and vibrations, your centre of mass is quite high, you have a lot of weight on the front tires, etc etc. All of these other problems more or less come with the engine.

There's also transmission and gearbox design, etc.
Honestly, I'd be more surprised if it couldn't. That different populations might have statistical skeletal "markers" isn't very surprising.

In fact, I'd be less surprised to hear that different ethnic groups have different skeletal features than the only thing the AI is going on is the shadow of melanin in an x-ray (though I could also believe that).
Static typing is antithetical to the spirit of interactive development and a mutable language.

Thankfully for the graphics the very person who did the graphics in this Elevated demo is very generous with their time. Inigo Quilez has many instructional videos on his channel in how to code procedural graphics from the very beginner to the advanced. I link a couple of examples.

This is a fallacy* that is often repeated. It's like saying that nobody can work together on a Python project because everybody will create their own incompatible pet decorators.

Any reasonably run project will have standards and code review.

I have not, once, in my decade+ career writing Common Lisp professionally, run into a single instance where my peer programmers on a project have painted one another into silly corners due to unfettered use of macros of any ilk. It doesn't happen, because (1) code comes from some manner of requirements and (2) PRs are reviewed. Macros that don't make solutions easier to read and write for the team, not just a programmer are patently rejected.

* I feel this fallacy and others frequently come from people who hear about a relatively obscure feature or superpower of a language and—having never used it—then try to imagine pessimistic or pathological uses of said feature. Unfortunately, the speculation is usually flat-out wrong, and not even adjacent to some truth.
Is THS-like hybrid system now common? For Japanese manufacturers, only Toyota uses THS-like system. AFAIK Germans too. I've researched past for my curiosity, but it seems that parallel-hybrid is more common for worldwide. Chrysler Pacifica also looks like THS-like. I wish manufacturers open how system work.

This article covers well (Japanese but figures are English so not block machine translation).

It is naive to think every work environment is like this.
No, you can't actually figure out whether a cancer therapy worked by counting the number of articles published in a given year. You're focused on this "zero-knowledge" approach because you are completely ignorant about this topic, not because it is actually a more powerful approach.

If you don't even know whether spontaneous remission is rare then you should not be offering an opinion about this. It's not even pertinent because these remissions were clearly not spontaneous, but it should alarm you to have spoken so recklessly about a disease which is essentially fatal. What you're saying amounts to "there's a good chance cancer just goes away on its own". Incidentally, this is also the least amount of math I've ever seen in a napkin math argument.
Lisp advocacy (for the last few decades) is always about how you can write anything in 10 lines of macros, but I never see anyone discuss security or whether the result actually does what you meant it to do.

It's not, as Nim clearly shows.

How do you optimize code without knowing the types of variables?
Most? Which ones can’t you redefine?

The ‘normal’ way to redefine words in forth is a bit of cheating, though. Redefining a word merely introduces a word with a name that shadows that of the old, still existing word.

Words created before the definition still call the old implementation, and, depending on the implementation (a phrase that, I think applies to about any statement about forth) you can still find it when you walk the dictionary and call it.

Smalltalk is missing too, and that’s a bigger omission. When you redefine a function there, it starts getting used everywhere.

I wonder what a blog post written about this 50 years from now will look like. Would it still mention C and lisp? Would readers of said article still mention forth and smalltalk as missing? Also, what reasonably successful languages from the ‘60s/‘70s already are gone from the collective mind?

Being used today to write very popular OSes, I see C still being mentioned, but by then lisp might have fallen into the abyss of history (except for, probably, a few computer historians)

The experience of writing nim is very different from the experience of writing common lisp. Nim may be more mutable than c, but that is not saying much.

Very carefully.
Likely they issue. Might be worth taking the deal as I imagine Team Fortress is trademarked by Valve.
That's true, but malloc/free based systems also have a relatively high memory overhead due to fragmentation and programmers being worse at inserting frees than the GC. It's not at all clear that the C/C++ model of memory management has lower than 100% overhead for long running programs.
Data-harvesting would be quite difficult to hide given our source code is open to the public (i.e. https://code.brave.com and https://github.com/brave), and that we encourage web-proxy evaluation of network activity (a la https://brave.com/popular-browsers-first-run/).

The fish in Japan is excellent but much of it isn't native. It comes from somewhere else, frequently the Gulf of Alaska, the product of which is available fresh in Seattle without sitting on a boat for a trans-Pacific journey. Asia pays top dollar for it though, so they get a lot of it. But here? It is where they got it from, it is big business. The quality of sushi in Seattle is somewhat famous, not only the myriad local sources but its direct access to the entire Pacific Rim.

I wouldn't have to go out of my way to find good cheese in many parts of the US. It isn't the 1980s, the median availability is similar to the median availability in most of Europe, here in 2022. You seem to be fencing with stereotypes instead of reality. I don't have a dog in this fight but (1) I spend a lot of time, and have spent a lot of time, all over the world and (2) I eat absolutely everything everywhere and in particular investigate their food markets. I'm not guessing about what is and isn't available to the average person in various places, I actually shop in those markets.

Every place has their local specialties, and some places in Europe really do go above and beyond, like northern Spain. But the quality and availability has radically converged in my lifetime for everyone. Americans are not benighted or some such, their markets are quite good this days. The fact that ordinary suburban US supermarkets routinely carry hundreds of cheeses from all over the world is quite a change from decades ago. The actual cheese shops just specialize in obscure cheeses that minimally intersect with the ones the supermarkets carry.

All that aside, Americans have amazing produce. That and beef are two things they do exceptionally well by any standard. I've never been able to get anything comparable in Europe.

Or by generally not giving a shit about per-country VAT rules.

There’s plenty of US based SAAS companies that sell to the EU without charging any tax, and vice versa.

Of course, this doesn’t scale well. But if your turnover in those regions where you haven’t implemented proper tax rules is less than 6 figures a year, and you have no presence there, you’ll probably get away with it.
> If your coins are already custodied at an exchange you can sell immediately.

Unless the exchange suspends trading or goes down for unscheduled maintenance right when you want to sell.

Of course, that is assuming the exchange doesn't simply take your coins and run.
I love these sorts of hacks. In fact I did something similar with a project called rget[1] two thoughts:

1. My project got politely asked to not use the ct log and lets encrypt infra this way. Since you are only doing it every 12 hours you might be ok.

2. Sigstore[2] seems like it might be a good match and their infra is designed for lots of small fast one off sigs.

> There's nothing against self signed certificates working with HSTS at all.

Actually, there is.

Section 8.1 of RFC 6797 opens with:

"If an HTTP response, received over a secure transport, includes an STS header field, conforming to the grammar specified in Section 6.1, and there are no underlying secure transport errors or warnings (see Section 8.4), [...]"

Section 8.4 then goes on to define "errors or warnings" as including any errors caused by UA certificate validity checks.

Additionally, section 14.3 opens with:

"The user agent processing model defined in Section 8 stipulates that a host is initially noted as a Known HSTS Host, or that updates are made to a Known HSTS Host's cached information, only if the UA receives the STS header field over a secure transport connection having no underlying secure transport errors or warnings."

(and then goes on to provide the rationale for this decision)

> It's perfectly fine for browsers to accept HSTS regardless of who signed it.

No, it isn't. This enables active attackers to cause a permanent denial of service even when you subsequently move out of their reach. That's the rationale.

No, sandstorm is about getting services to boot/setup with a single click.
