The US Army in WWII is known for moving and reassigning top ranking generals - failure was more a case of "you failed at amphibious landings in Pacific but now go do Air cover in Europe."

But in general I feel if you want people to take risks for you, it's best that you pay them so much they stop having worries at home and just have worries at work. Executing people for failure looks like it gets results, but often it just gets results hidden
Ok good I'm not insane lol...

I find this a totally unusable model to the point I don't understand who the heck pays for paywalled websites (for me it would be a waste because I would only read some 2.5 articles on the same website a year). I just search for a particular subject (maybe also specify the author) whenever I want/need and have time to watch/read something. Subscribe to someone and watch/read everything they would produce? Impossible, I don't have time for this. I watch many new (whom I have never seen previously and probably won't see in future although I liked them and they go on) creators every week.
The author's favorite topic, as described by him in the final Dialogue, is 'indirect self-reference'. This has a double meaning. Indirect self-reference can mean what it says such as Godel numbering which is a method of referring to a self indirectly but it can also mean that the whole book is an indirect way of referring to the question of 'what is a self?' He is approaching the topic of consciousness indirectly.
I don't believe the general user gets much benefit from using a general purpose "everything cloud". The mere scale of building and maintaining such a cloud lead to both these bills but also makes them so much more complicated.

I believe we will see more purpose built clouds that target specific use-cases and infra paradigms.. or at least I hope so as I'm part of building such a service.
Sadly he's still at it. To save people from subjecting themselves to all of his tortured logic, here's just a sample from the article you linked:

> The upshot is that at a 2.3% growth rate (conveniently chosen to represent a 10× increase every century), we would reach boiling temperature in about 400 years.

Basically his conclusion is that at some point in the next 400 years, the predominant economic system on Earth will have to change in some way (and that economists are short-sighted for not believing this).

The analysis also seems to completely miss how the global economy's energy intensity has been falling for 20 years, according Enerdata[0]: "Global energy intensity (total energy consumption per unit of GDP) ... historical trend (-1.5%/year on average between 2000 and 2019)"

Those figures for net income seem off, especially for something around 30k you're not going to pay that much.

I make multiple Spotify playlists, each dedicated to a particular type of music I like (country, electronica, folk, house, etc).

Spotify Discover seems to work pretty well for me.

Yesterday it surfaced an outrun track featuring both guitar and sax solos, which... is pretty on-brand for ethbr0.

Having diverse and varied playlists seems to help? I've had friends complain it doesn't work for them, so I must do something different.

That final example with sugar-y (so to speak) grouped headers contradicts prior definition of "normalized table". First "normalized" example explicitly shows that grouping happens exclusively by using text repetition in adjacent headers. Row headers should then read

Treatment, Baseline
Treatment, Contraceptive, 2 weeks
Treatment, Contraceptive, 12 weeks
Treatment, Contraceptive, 20 weeks
Treatment, Recovery phase

and column headers should read

Hormones, FSH [IU/L]
Hormones, LH [IU/L]
Hormones, Testosterone [nmol/L]

Arguably, when there is single top-level header group in some axis (the "evil (0,0) cell"), it might be better used as table caption (here probably something like "Treatment - Hormones [dosage]") and then omitted in header cells.

(From (HTML) accessibility perspective, all tables should better have caption element describing them.)
> Spotifys algorithm doesn't do anything.

What do you mean by this? I discover a lot of music through Spotify.

My mix for discovery usually goes through:

1. Labels that release artists I already like

2. Recommendations from friends

3. Spotify recommendations algos (Discover Weekly, mixes, radio feature, etc.)

4. Music zines/magazines/blogs/critics.

5. Bandcamp recommendations (not so good but worth to check here and there).

Spotify is pretty good to recommend very similar tracks or artists, never had an issue with it so would be keen to hear what's your issue.
Currently no. If you listen to them they sound terrible. But I made a GitHub issue for the ability to change voices, and I hope to be shipping that soon. Autodetection is a bit harder but probably not by much.
You already need to deal with 3 things as opposed to one and learn PromQL to boot. If you want to have dashboards you also need to learn and use Grafana. I used both Prometheus+Thanos+Grafana stack and Zabbix in production and can say with certainty that the latter is much easier to use and set up for infra monitoring than the former. You need a whole dedicated observability team to use Prometheus effeciently.
The recently added postscript is my favorite part of the article.

It comments how traffic appears exponential due to the recent HN traffic. Then says:

> I trust I need not explain how funny I think this is. I also have a fairly robust idea for how this curve will look a week from now. Just sayin’.

Traffic will drop fast and return to normal (slightly higher base) in a few days.

Every thing in this article discusses current curves. But there’s actually good reason to assume those curves will return to baseline. Particularly, ones such as “gonad tree cover”. Tree cover is increasing and will return to base as we no longer are using it as a primary energy source and are increasingly using less to build.

My point is the doom and gloom in most cases is not really warranted as it will adjust.

The author also mentions our “global civilization”, we don’t have one. I get their point, but it’s an important note that we have multiple civilizations. That means these curves are happening due to the sun of independent actions of all civilizations. There’s probably no way to change the outcome.

The destruction of the rainforest is out of the control of all civilizations beyond Brazil. China is by far the largest polluter in the world, no one can stop that.

Those hockey stick curves might be inevitable; but they probably aren’t “globally true”. I’m betting if we look at mammal populations in places like Idaho or Alaska they’ve been less impacted than say, Massachusetts.

The problem isn’t really clear from the global charts

I'm not entirely sure I understand. Perhaps some context is missing?

One key question is: when was this and in what car?

Most modern cars have various forms of stability control systems that try to execute the driver's intent. So for instance my daily driver is vastly different from my 1980s plaything that doesn't have any driver's aids. On slippery surfaces they require completely different approaches to driving when you are on, or over, the grip limit.

If you are trying to work with the stability control system, yes, you probably need to communicate your intent to the car and let it take care of things. But I'm not sure "don't countersteer" is necessarily good general advice because it really, really depends on why/how you lost traction and how the car will react. The only way you can know that is to take it onto a slippery track (or a large open space) and try it out.

Also, stability control systems can (and do) fail. They can shut down due to sensor errors or, if you buy a sports car, there may be an option for shutting them off partially or completely.

Its more about paying the creators than Google. Premium videos are reportedly worth more to creators.
I wholeheartedly agree with human curation especially on the long term outlook. Sure the algorithm gives you a bunch of new stuff in the first few months but after a while you’re just stuck in a minima. Also I think my taste evolves quickly enough but algorithms box you in to what your preferences were.

I may not like everything in a human curated list but I’m exposed to more things that can have sudden jumps from my current localization.

Just type it in yourself and discover the post is incorrect like the rest of us...
That’s right, in a car as you go into a corner you first steer a little bit, the car then “takes a set” - i have no idea where that terminology comes from but it just means the car moves to a steady state of loading up the outside suspension. Once you feel the car has taken a set, you can crank on a lot more steering. I’m describing it as two phases but the best drivers smooth both of these phases into one flowing motion - slowly steer at first then steer faster. Doing it in this two phase approach allows for far higher lateral g to be built in the turn than if you just smoothly turn at the same rate. You extract more grip because you build weight over the tire before asking it to grip and grip is parlty a function of weight on the tyre.

In most car drivetrain configurations you’d then use a balanced throttle through the turn.

You can use a balanced throttle on a bike too - many people do - but all race bikes and most advanced riders even in non race scenarios will use a slight acceleration not a balanced throttle because where in the car you want to settle the suspension with a heavy loading equally on your two outside wheels (e.g. in an FR layout car) on a bike you want to have around 65% weight on the rear.

There’s a similar effect with the Porsche 911 - it’s an RR layout with 12 inch wide tyres at the rear and a slight acceleration is optimimum for it.
There's about 150B in stablecoins[1]. You can argue that some of that is fake, not backed. But even if 75% of that were fake it's still a huge amount of money. So it's clear that cryptos that are anchored to USD do have appeal.

The appeal however is not from people wanting to use them to buy their coffe. The appeal is DeFi.

Imho, the big question here is, if there's actually a trend.

Was it easier, 10 years ago, to make money from a website, with just one single (non-animated) banner on top, than it is today with a website that's plastered with animated banners, link ads, and other stuff?

Was it easier, 10 years ago, to make money from a video platform, with just one single skip-able ad at the start of each video - than it is today with 10 un-skip-able ads in front of each video?

Was it easier to advertise your business 100 years ago, with a single poster on a street corner - than it is today with a huge ad-campaign consisting of TV-, Radio- and Newspaper-Ads?

The big question to me is: Does advertising become less and less effective the more people are exposed to advertisements?

Advertisers are measuring the actual effectiveness of their ads, and paying for that only. Therefore falling effectiveness means falling prices and you have to increase the quantity of ads, to earn the same money (and achieve the same effect) as before.

But increased quantity means people are exposed to even more ads, which means they become even less effective. Which leads to even lower prices and even higher quantity.

This can't go on forever... at some point the loss of effectiveness is going to be larger than what you can possibly make up for by increasing quantity. And there's an upper limit - you can't push quantity above 60 minutes of ads per hour.

This can only end with all users either signing up for premium, leaving the service all-together, or using ad-blockers. In all three cases, the ad-business looses.

Are we witnessing the slow death of (online) advertising?
Eh, not really that simple. The coupling forces with very long trains can cause the trains to break apart. You need to distribute locomotives throughout the train to provide power not just insert new cars. The freight railroads are already running very long trains based on computer modeling and they’re getting pushback from the govt. https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/railroads-...
> I am genuinely curious, how do you find videos worth your time without recommendations?

Not without recommendations. I just want the default recommendations directly related to the video I currently watch, ignoring what other videos I watched before.

How do I find? I just search for a particular subject (maybe also specify the author) whenever I want/need and have time to watch/read something.
Yes, you have to have caster or the car would be very difficult to drive. I had a VW bug with a worm gear steering box that was going bad. It would almost keep the wheels wherever you put them and it was scary to drive. Think about how you let the steering wheel slip as the wheels return to straight when you turn onto a cross road, you had to return the wheels to straight yourself.
There's a website called Every Noise At Once [0] which contains a list of almost every genre of music in the world. Each genre has a linked Spotify playlist with a few hundred songs of the given genre. And once I'm in that genre, I mostly just let Spotify algorithms do their thing to get me new stuff.

Ultimately somebody has to fund NPCI for the interchange infrastructure. If the banks have to absorb the cost, then smaller players will be hurt and find it difficult to compete. If RBI absorbs the cost, then we are back to the taxpayer situation. There is no such thing as a free service really if you think about it.

Not much different. Service frequencies and speeds on those lines we’re not suitable for modern day, without large capacity increase in cities they couldn’t really be increased.
Like my sibling reply says, I think you didn't read past my first word in the reply. The "why". That was rhetorical.

My entire point was basically that it actually isn't about assumptions at all. If you just assume when I ask that question this tells me you're out as a developer I want to hire. Nobody can build proper software by just assuming the first thing that comes to mind and bullshitting.

You have to show that you can take a totally ambiguous and open question and show me that you can systematically try to find out as much information as you can in a reasonable amount of time to verify your assumptions or at least make them less assuming. Of course (a d this can happen when solving a real problem too) it might be that you cannot accurately measure some input you need and you will have to make assumptions. But you will want to try and you will want to have divided your problem into lots of smaller parts such that the part where you still have to assume is only one small part and you want to be very explicit that this part is still an assumption only which you will have to verify or improve upon as you actually implement something. You do have to start at some point, otherwise it's analysis paralysis.

And no this has nothing to do with a PM. They are notoriously bad at the above approach and instead will just assume the first best thing and bullshit their way through with that for as long as they don't get caught (no /s there but my experience with 80+% of PMs)
I'll take either.

Why not both?
Primarily I stream from Pandora, Spotify and Soundcloud through Sonos. Then I have Sonos scrobble everything to Last.fm.

I still find Pandora to be the best for finding new artists, I just create new stations and see what they recommend.

People usually say that it's not a problem with C++, but just bad programmers.

But if Google, Microsoft, and Apple can't find enough good programmers for their flagship most security-sensitive projects, that's still a terrible outlook for the C++ language. It's already hard to hire good programmers, and these flawless C++ programmers are harder to find than True Scotsmen!

There is a 4GB limit on a single push, but you can work around that by pushing a very large repository incrementally. I have done that in the past for a repo with a linear history: push the first N commits, then the next N commits, etc. It would be harder for a repo with many refs or a branchy history; maybe limit each push by commit date?

> Weird SSL errors

Wild stab in the dark: the only things that would kill SSL/TLS on a disk-image based lift & shift where the certificates and associated config moves with the VM are:

- An internal Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Distribution Point (CDP) was forgotten about and not moved along with everything else. These are often Enterprise PKI certificate authorities on servers like AD domain controllers. Admins will typically deploy new domain controllers in the cloud, and move everything else. They'll forget the old CAs and maybe even turn them off. This then causes SSL issues after... about a week.

- Another possibility is that they incorrectly moved an outbound access restriction. Again, overzealous network security admins tend to block Internet access on servers and forget about CRLs. It's an especially common issue on "secure" environments where someone decides to block HTTP outbound and only permit HTTPS because it's "secure". However, CRLs (and OCSP) absolutely require HTTP and will never work via HTTPS by design.
It's making slow progress, much slower than expected 10 years ago, when in 2012 I was personally "promised" by a person with a start up in the field that I will be able to buy a L5 car in 5 years. That person is the equivalent of those promising me I will be able to generate a whole movie by a prompt by the end of this decade.

Not happening.
That's an awesome idea!

I'm looking forward to the day where beamed power (e.g., MASER) will allow us to ditch most of the batteries too, with a tow trailer battery pack for trips into the deep country. It makes no sense to me to accelerate and decelerate over a ton of battery pack and have to deal with so much regeneration loss when we could just have overhead beamers optically track vehicles and cut power whenever a stray bird enters the picture.
Are there? I believe the ISPs are fighting tooth and nail against being classified "common carriers" and are winning in the name of "innovation" :)
I would think so too. Any parking brake has to be a fail-safe type brake which has to function in the absence of electricity. Hence, as you mentioned, purely mechanical.
They invested US$100 million (and currently that's around US$50 million). The next bond payment (2023 note that they are trying to buy back now) is due in January and that alone is US$800 million. So, their investment should yield really high returns for it to even make a decent dent into the first bond.

From all the fanfare around them, I was sure they had to invest more. But after looking up the numbers, this looks like a publicity stunt more than any serious investment. Also 20% adoption when it's mandatory to support it, is quite interesting too.
True. It would be interesting to read specific comparisons to YouTube. The problem for an article like this is discussing details of something that's extremely intimate for most people.
But they can do so for deep learning and mathematics? Because in those fields, as I said, pre-publication peer review is not as common.

Of course we need peer-review and neither me nor the paper in the OP say otherwise. We just can't be gate-keeping research because of the review process; the review process needs to be re-thought and that includes the when and why.
