For me, I noticed that my main reason to procrastinate was that the task seemed so big that causes me fear of not being able to accomplish it. So this advice is one I can relate to when feeling that way, because when I break it down to simple things/tricks like saying to myself “I’ll just do 5 min of this”, or even “I’ll just write a few sentences and then we’ll see”, that happens to help me overcome the fear of the task. I know it really feels like BS, but, at least for me, I can find some help just changing the approach from seeing the big picture to more of a micro approach where you feel good if you just start by doing something small, and then it gives you that compounding effect, extra motivation and confidence to keep doing a little more.

> The legislature can't even stop companies from being treated as persons which any sane person will tell you is unreasonable or illogical.

I've never gotten why people are so opposed to the idea of corporations being treated as unnatural persons for certain purposes.

Companies are owned and operated by people with rights, so some of those rights transfer to the company. But, the owners agree to have some of their rights qualified when acting through a corporation in exchange for enjoying limited liability.

For instance, imagine you own a house under your own name. The government can't build a stadium on top of it without just compensation. Why should it be any different if you happened to have purchased that house through a corporation?

Corporations were a relatively recent invention in the context of the common law and treating them as qualified unnatural persons allowed them to integrate into the legal system without creating an entire parallel system. As a developer, I find it a pretty cute retrofit to the model.

You should always write software for the worst performers. Unless you have a very good reason not to. Writing for the top performers is how we got into the silly mess where computers from 30 years ago have much higher ux then now.
If that were true, I would consider that pretty good news, and publicizing those two minor reforms would be really valuable. Do you have reforms in mind, or is this intended as a hypothetical?

I had the opposite experience. My Canon ES1 Selphy died after not much use. Paper stopped feeding, sounded like grinding plastic gears.

Tried the recommended things to fix but couldn't fix. I liked the quality of the prints even if they were a bit pricey per print.

Upright design of ES1 didn't help, since the paper must do a 90 degree turn like it's performing a stunt! Just to reach the output tray. All in a creaking plastic box. I respect Canon cameras but not my old Selphy ES1. Sorry!

Got an Epson photo eco-tank and it's good. No stress about running out of ink. Nozzles haven't clogged and I like the quality, it is well made printer the Epson ecotank, at least the model I have.

Previous Epson printers - hated the cost of ink and clogged nozzles.

I wonder how much paper I need to go through to get myself an Epson end of life message! I doubt I will print/waste that much paper. Funny how some are concerned about the e-waste implications of printing a truck load of A4.

This sounds good, to the extent that it's feasible.

I've recently been thinking about how it's sad that ~everyone uses much worse general-purpose lossless compression and decompression algorithms than those sold by RAD Game Tools. It's difficult to estimate the amount of energy spent daily on the difference between zstd and Oodle. If I had to choose how to spend my personal effort on fixing this issue, I would expect higher ROI over the next few years from submitting patches to zstd than from submitting patches to LLVM that try to get it to emit SIMD-ized inner loops for string processing algorithms like those in zstd.

If you think jury nullification is a potential problem just wait until you hear that district attorneys have almost absolute authority to decide what crimes are punished. One person can unilaterally dictate that petty theft is no longer a crime, for example.

Too true. It not possible to reach any sensible climate goals by replacing all gasoline cars with EVs. We need to rethink mobility.

So, let's take the most extreme example of pursuing safety, WUFFS.

Unlike general purpose languages WUFFS has a very specific purpose (Wrangling Untrusted File Formats Safely) so it doesn't need to worry that it can't solve some of your problems, which frees it to completely refuse to do stuff that's unsafe, while going real, real fast.

WUFFS gets to completely omit bounds checks, which you probably wouldn't have dared try in C because it's so obviously unsafe, but WUFFS already proved at compile time that it can't ever have bounds misses so it needn't do these checks. WUFFS gets to also omit integer overflow checks, because again it proved at compile time that your code is correct and cannot overflow for any input. And since WUFFS knows how big the data is at all times it gets to automatically generate loop unrolling and suchlike accelerations.

WUFFS isn't a general purpose language, it doesn't have strings, it doesn't have growable arrays (what C++ calls "vectors"), it doesn't have any dynamic memory allocation, but then we weren't talking about how much you love general purpose features, we were talking about safety preventing security bugs. Which is exactly what WUFFS does.

I use Mihosoft Freerouting autorouter with KiCAD. It's free opensource which works reasonably well without any artifical limitations.

Although i prefer to route critical stuff by hand (high current, high frequency, differential pairs, etc...) and let the autorouter to do the rest.

But it's written in Java, which is not really my personal preference. Also there was some performance issue when board outline contained arcs, so i had to convert them to series of short lines which reclaimed the autorouting speed.

> you personally should do the good things you want to do in the world rather than just donating money for someone else to do it on your behalf

Let's take an example mentioned in the article, Sam Bankman-Fried. After hearing about EA in college, he decided to earn as much money as he could first in traditional finance and then in crypto, so that he would be able to fund work he thought was important that was currently not happening. He was very successful at this, and currently has about $12B he's working on donating.

I think it's a pretty difficult claim to support that he would have furthered his goals more by picking one of the things he thinks needs to happen and working on it?

On the other hand, a lot of early effective altruist writing is from a time when there was very little money available for some of the most valuable things, a time when even "go work as a regular software engineer and donate a large percentage" beat directly working on valuable things for a lot of people. If you look at that writing now, however, since it is assuming a very different funding environment it looks like it sets the bar way too low for how much money you need to be able to earn before earning to give is likely your best option.

Wiring sucks and is faulty. It's already a problem with mass transit-systems today. Wiring the whole city? Good luck not burning down the city because of stupid people doing stupid things. The demand for independent vehicles still remain in the city, at least in the next decades. And batteries are at the moment the only viable technology for this. Hydrogen might become another solution, or maybe one of the magic fuels in development turns out to be real and useful, who knows.

Not sure that's worth it.

Cooling batteries is tricky, and cars are designed for high loads with high airflow. Draining a car when it's in a hot garage isn't going to be battery friendly. Adding extra cooling, DC -> AC inverter, and related infrastructure is going to cost weight, space, and money.

Not sure it's worth the wear and tear for peak clipping, especially since charging off peak is a form of peak clipping.

Instead of having the grid pay to wear down EV batteries, seems like there's better places to put that money that will have more benefits. Obvious choices being solar, wind, grid scale batteries, incentives for covering parking lots with solar panels, etc.

Never had problems with those either, who made those Android devices with such short-lived eMMC chips? I'm using a number of old Android devices from both well-known manufacturers like Motorola, Samsung and Sony as well as lesser-known ones like Ainol, none of these suffer from memory-induced slowdowns. In my experience it is the battery and the touch screen which are most likely to give out first. The battery can be replaced, sometimes the touch screen can as well but I tend to just use those devices for purposes where I don't need a screen (which I often actually just disconnect to save power) such as MPD-based media players, a trailer camera and IP cameras.
It's true that there are a few manual C6s. I think they all came with the 2.2L four pot diesel, which did an OK job under the bonnet/ hood of the C6, but change the wafting nature of the car and came without the semi-intelligent AMVAR management of the suspension.

I'm under no illusion that the C6 is an imperfect interpretation of Citroen's prior oleopneumatic mastery - I simply was not brave enough at the time to go for a DS, or a CX or XM for that matter, all of which I believe would be more true to how a large oleopneumatic Cit should be. Particularly disappointing is that PSA did not see to fit the Xantia Activa's 'active' suspension - that would have been one heck of a car. As it is, I know of people who put 3.0L V6 engines in the bays of UK-spec Xantia Activas to create true sheep in wolf's clothing, cars that scare Porsches and Ferraris on track-days, so I am assured.

We don’t have direct democracy. Our initiative and amendment processes have a referendum component, but it’s tightly moderated by the legislature and requires supermajorities to override it. And to the degree it's being discussed, it's with respect to reforming it so political parties can't bypass the parliament.
