I think you're drastically underestimating how much the US feared an expansionist USSR during the Cold War, and the worries just after WWII that the Soviets might just roll across Europe.

If things play out as Zeihan expects, the US will be a bit less rich, but will be far better off than anyone else in the world.

I think the AI generated art, even at this early stage, is pretty good and have no problem with people submitting it to contests and/or selling it.

Also, as a sometime painter, I would view AI generated art as a great and fun source of inspiration. I'd pick some generated pieces that I like, combine parts from this and that and make it my own.

This stuff may open more doors than it closes, IMHO.
> In the original book, Esmeralda is ethnically French

I mean, I just think that no one seems to be aware of this. She's not French in the movie adaptation, which is what most of those kids would be familiar with. (And the musical does heavily draw from the movie – including leaving out her meeting her mother).

Without the added context of the original book's description, since it seems no one was aware of it, do you think the uproar was justified?

On the other hand, there are examples of the musical performed with a caucasian lead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5wNynK1tHg
Gas shutoffs have been happening because of European sanctions on their equipment, not because they actually want to shut it off, so whether they're "bluffing" or not is irrelevant. Many turbines are now out of action and Siemens either won't return them (UK sanctions) or returned one but refused to give any assurances they wouldn't shut it down remotely (!).

Rationing gas like this is foolish in all cases. That's what markets are for. They have no way to enforce this and it can only cause immense social strife for near zero payback. You'd think they'd have learned from the attempt to break up families at Christmas to punish the unvaccinated, but no. The current Federal Council really is trash.
If you consider the mainstream products of Intel and Nvidia, they have way more moderate power consumption. These products with massive power draw are ultra enthusiast products. They are an outlier. You could build a great PC now with a RTX 3060 and a mainstream CPU that would be fine with a 500~ watt PSU.

As technologists, we should support manufacturers pushing the limit in power and performance. It helps drive overall efficiency and move technology forward.
The original conversation was around self driving cars. Self driving cars give freedom to people who can't drive themselves in a way that bikes never will. They also offer things above public transport, namely privacy, security, autonomy.

Does it? Or does merely having them make you feel more comfortable. Anyway it also means that I would have to live in a tightly sealed building, but I rather like having the window open.
Not sarcasm. I'm working in this space and you can check my bio.

If you're not excited by these rapidly improving results, then I don't know what to tell you. I think you can extrapolate what lies just ahead if you think about it.

I've been a tech pessimist for the last two decades of my life, and I can strangely now state that this is the most important and exciting time of my entire life and career. Everything we know is about to change.

I can't believe that this is the timeline we're in and that it's actively unfolding now. It's like a dream. It's hard to grasp and come to terms with.

Just think for a second about what these models are doing. This is going to happen to every product category.

Think too about Carmack's recent claims.
'startup-time' vs. 'TTFP' are just semantics, but a crucial distinction. The focus on 'time-to-first-plot' is entrenched in the dominant workflow of the Julia community. If you want a broader range of adoption, the word choice matters. Having experienced a very similar dialogue in the Clojure community over startup time, and seen the new range of applications emerge as the issue was effectively addressed, I was startled by the very narrow and focussed acronym (TTFP) in the Julia community.

I am happy that there is progress on the code caching front and will look to the link you shared. Thanks for elucidating this further!
So in the far future, jakt will compile in machine code with the rust-written rust compiler (or a bootstrap jakt-written jakt compiler) and will generate native code for a libWeb and libJS that are able to browse youtube and disney+, that with a SDK not pulling a grotesquely and absurdely complex and massive c++ compiler.

I think I got the picture now. Thx.
Yeah, pretty much! Technically I have one real queue but different "tags" to route things (so we can rate limit etc..). But basically the same thing.

My system supports as many dispatchers as you want, which is a good addition but makes the logic more complex as you have to be careful with locks so you don't schedule jobs many times, for example.

My system also implements retry logic, and a bunch of other stuff, but that isn't absolutely required either.
They weren't saying that. They were just saying go read it for yourself and decide.
Sorry for not being clear, but my post was more so addressing my anecdotal experience with small to medium sized companies, not big tech or FAANG type companies.

I can’t really comment on whether Oracle’s culture is more or less repressive than Apple or Amazon. I mean, we all probably know the reputation for each of the above companies, but given your findings on who’s remote friendly and who isn’t, it could be just as likely that those reputations are backwards today.

Regardless, to clarify, my post was very much based on my own anecdotal job hunting in my own state of Michigan. I was also trying to bring attention (albeit poorly) to the dichotomy of wfh vs office, and the missing (and still-being-defined) middle ground.

I’m sure there are exceptions, and as someone who is looking for where I can fit in and contribute in a post-pandemic world as a software engineer who enjoys working from home but also greatly values the work I was able to do in an in-person, collaborative environment, I would welcome anything that proves me wrong. :)
Why is it a work-game? Is the work/project you are on not giving extended scope for technical and/or business growth?

However, there should not be a broad-based hunt for energy sinners. "We are not a police state," said SVP Economics Minister Guy Parmelin (62) last Wednesday at the media conference of the Federal Council. "The police don't go to everyone - but there can be spot checks," says Parmelin. There are also specifications in other areas that are not constantly monitored. "The draft ordinances are primarily based on the fact that the vast majority of the population abides by the law," emphasizes Spörndli.

But controls are not excluded - for example, if you are ratted out by an angry neighbor or an overzealous neighborhood sheriff. A Gfrörli that heats up to 20 instead of 19 degrees must expect a penalty. Spörndli also confirms this – at least, “if the offense were reported and controlled and could subsequently also be proven”.

And probably the heat output of a space heater as well. I had to move my tower into another room because it kept the whole room way too hot
I don't see this working effectively. A UV sensor is great during daytime, but what about at night?

Then, you still have to account for the fact that your thermometer is located right next to a variable ~100W heater, vs. normal weather stations that are normally located away from heat sources. Also, the thermometer and heater are occasionally placed inside a tight-fitting insulated container.
eh, my office has strong wfh policy and lots of young families, but I can still tell who's young and single - it's the ones volunteering for overtime whenever the call goes out. And that's really what I as a manager care about, not whether someone's entertaining their kids while the code compiles. Maybe it's different at google, but there are plenty of accidental reasons an org would age discriminate as well.
Also, Art AI can't click on ads, which is probably, ultimately their main concern. If you replace all the monetized users with AI that can't buy things, the economic incentive to keep the website running disappears.
Also if it has been proven that, given a chance, many supermarkets have and still actively do inject e-coli into their foods because they are able to profit off of it somehow, then the "e-coli testers" would be an even better idea.

Tornado Cash is obviously an organization. This was clear from their website before it was taken down, and you can still see from their Medium blog history (https://tornado-cash.medium.com/) that they consider themselves to be a "we" who can take reports, make governance proposals, etc. The people who've told you otherwise are playing shell games (and sometimes outright lying) to advance their financial interests.
We should construct far more elevated walkways, at least in NY. Similar to the High line. I would be far more likely to walk everywhere if I didn't have to worry about traffic and stoplights. Not to mention, particulate and emissions exposure would drop like a rock.

What gives the appearance that this is the case?

Even if the "vast majority" of stakers agree with the regulation, the regulation is ambiguous as to whether stakers are expected to refrain from including TC transactions in their own blocks, or actively orphan all blocks that include TC transactions. The latter hurts their staking revenue and effectuates a soft fork. (Staking revenue is hurt due to the inactivity correlation factor that the network uses to calculate rewards.)

If the regulation only demands the former, then the network will continue status-quo, except that TC transactions may take a couple minutes to be included instead of 12 seconds.
When I took ecology in college, to calculate diversity of an ecosystem, we used Shannon's formula from a mathmatical theory of communications. iirc we did it with base e vs base 2 so the units for ecological diversity were in nits.
I don't have the time to get into a hardcore semiotics discussion at the moment, but basically I'm using words in the ways that normal people use words, which generally treats perception of the conventions of a thing as the thing itself. People do this mostly for convenience.
In my team, there are a couple of very senior engineers who still do a lot of coding. They are extremely good. Fix all sort of problems very fast, lot of code review, some design (it's not everyday we design new systems), a lot of useful feedback, communicate very well on what they do, anticipate risks and so on... They manage to keep the number of meetings reasonably low. They are very knowledgeable for sure, but I'm more impressed by their throughput and resistance to stress.
Segways are just not comfortable. It's more exhausting to stand still with your feet planted than it is to walk, because with walking each foot is getting a break while the other is doing the stepping.
Looking a little further, we will be generated on demand when AI deems it necessary; based on what the machines know about us. With the specific keywords/features it deemed best.
The purpose of universities is to support state power. A multiethnic state must keep its minorities pacified. The tragedy is international institutions copying USA policies without understanding the core reasons and thus undermining the governments they are meant to support.

Wouldn't filing a form 8300 be unconstitutional violation of the 5th amendment if the cash is an element of the crime of both parties? As an example, felons can't be charged with NFA violations for owning a short barrel rifle for example because registering their firearm would be self-incrimination. I believe Timothy Leary also got out of being charged with Marijuana reporting [tax] requirement because filing for the tax would self-incriminate his possession.

Edit: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haynes_v._United_States for NFA. Thanks below for Leary.
> you cannot account for the personalities that sit behind these titles/roles.

This is an important point, and should be more obvious than it is. Projects succeed or fail more as a function of individual personalities than of whatever their job titles are. Easy to forget given that people who share a job title are usually treated as interchangeable components of the machine (at least in big companies and at least in my experience).
> Or... perhaps don't ascribe to malice that which may be adequately explained by incompetence.

Hanlon's razor is a heuristic which doesn't work very well in this case. Clearly, there is a lot of social pressure to at least pretend to care about diversity, so by default you'd expect at least some people to lie about it.
I live in a place where it is very consistently below -20C in the winter. Sure, I'm not going to bike in that (especially +snow), but you know what? Being able to do most of my intra-city travel by bicycle 75% of the year is still a big win over 0%.

I agree, the idea that they don't care and go to all this work seems absurd.

Seems more likely they're just bad advocates / come up with bad policies for ideas they like. THAT does not surprise me the least. The amount of "If you get what you want here, I don't think that gets you any closer to your goal, in fact it might do the opposite." situations is pretty high out there.
Would this prevent me from looking at or modifying the Javascript code that is running, since it's already compiled?

How's the bike infrastructure there? Do you have lanes / separation from the cars or is it all just one?
> Most people are capable of riding a bike - especially an e-bike - to get to where they're going.

Citation needed? If I think of my own family, the ones without kids in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s are ok, but the ones older than that, and the ones with young kids, I would not put on an ebike.

[EDIT] Not sure why the downvotes. I'm cycling a lot myself and am a big proponent of cycling. But am no longer able to make this my only means of transportation now that I have kids that are both too old to fit on a baby seat and too young to be going around town on their own. Family members that have respiratory and cardiovascular health problems cannot do sustained even moderate exercise. Populations are aging worldwide. Thus I don't really know that the statement is true and would like to learn more from actual data.
It's worth noting that the nearby city of Tucson is a cycling mecca for pros during the offseason and many avid cyclists continue riding throughout summer. If Phoenix were better designed for the climate it's in (e.g. dense, narrow streets between high thermal mass buildings and lots of shade), the summers would be far less intense.
We just finished a period of something like 100 days over 100F. There's not much you can do to avoid sweat on those days, especially when it's also humid.

I personally won't ride when it's above 102F because even when I sweat and there's a light breeze I struggle to cool down.
I'm so sorry you've gone through this, that sounds miserable. When you feel up for it I hope you can seek treatment again.

For context for other readers: the cost of one of these machines is about $800. That's a very small amount of money, often less than a single month's insurance premium. And for that the insurance companies turn medical treatment devices into anxiety-inducing spy machines. It's hideous.
Sure - I should have said instead that they do not exist in the main branch's history anymore.
I do think this is a more complex problem than people give credit.

I've seen bike lanes added to roads, and almost no one is happy. There's always idiot drivers and bikers and every now and then someone gets hurt or killed.

Bike paths make infinitely more sense (especially since they dont have to follow roads and can take more direct paths), but cities seem loathe to adopt them vs just painting some lines on a current street.

Finally climate plays a huge part as well. I live where it gets over 100f in the suummer routinely. Even a 3 mile bike ride at that point means you're drenched in sweat, which is just not acceptable in a majority of environments. Showers can be added but water is already a resource we're flippant with when we really shouldn't be.

Finally its not a great solution for the elderly and has some risks. Yes they can ride an e bike, but when you screw up at 20 mph in a sedan you wind up with a very expensive bill and an insurance premium hikes. When you crash on a bike, even with saftey gear, you can wind up pretty seriously injured.

None of this isnt to say we should not build more bike paths/trains/subways/busses, but I dont think its a one solution fits all sort of thing.

This is a good list, although it contains a lot of redundancy - at least, the first "how to learn" links - the youtube videos cover the same material over and over again. They are good - you may not need to watch every one in order as the author suggested.

My approach has been considerably, uhh.. lazier, if you will:

I just read through the rust book available on http://rust-lang.org.
It is easy to follow although, sometimes it doesn't fully explain the "why" behind certain things to idiots like me. For that, I turned to a quick online search, which brought up helpful blog posts, Reddit and Stack Overflow posts.

Thats it. Next, I'll try to wrap my head around Actix to create a web server.
Early in my EE career at a very small electronics manufacturer, "pulls" (cheap components that were removed from equipment) were a thing. Lots of vendors in the back pages of the Component Shopper (I think that was the name) rag advertised them.

As I moved on to companies where supply chain quality was important, we didn't do that anymore, but I'd be surprised if that marketplace has gone away. Especially for hard to find parts. I know of companies where 6-figure orders were being held up because of the inability to find a few $5 components.

It's less likely to happen for consumer products that are price-sensitive, though. There's a big difference between doing that with low-integration DIP parts vs fine-pitch SMT devices that have orders of magnitude higher transistor count.

Build more/better bike infrastructure and people of all classes will ride, not just those who are forced to because they have no other options like now. See: any city that’s built a usable network of good bike infra.

I think that's the irony here, the standards are pretty much set in stone and just incrementally grow. Some old cruft is beyond obsolete though. On the other hand nobody uses most of the bleeding edge APIs. But JS (and the part that is actually in use) is indeed growing at a solid pace.
To be fair this article doesn't exactly have a mature start.
cities are already hell for cars.

This is a piece I don't know how to explain coherently - cities function _as poorly_ for passenger vehicles as they do for bicyclists.

Tons of queueing time, low reliability, noise, hassle, expense, lack of perception of progress.

I think a good city engineer would:

1. start gathering benchmarks for travel time by mode across the city, at various times of day.
2. Start counting intersection vehicle through-put
3. Start counting intersection "vehicle dwell time" (an intersection that has 15 cars stopped waiting for a light to change is wasting an incredible amount of time)

And then with this data, start modifying how the intersections are laid out, run experiments. There's 50 things someone could experiment with, some of which would be worth retaining and expanding.

American traffic 'planning' is so boring and so openly ineffective. It's a traumatizing institution to be a part of, if you have a sense of awareness and responsibility and agency.
Huh? Access to flagging is not given to a "small fraction" of users. You only need to make a few good submissions or comments to get it. Frustratingly I can't get a definitive answer, but its on the order of few hundred karma points at most.
The word dense is in the second sentence of the wikipedia article on cities. It is inherent to discussion of urban transportation. You seem to be using the word city loosely, but it's a rather specific term.

Even though I agree the policies here apply to a small fraction of the world's area, it affects a sizable fraction of the population.
> Or your example of undocumented people holding up a wall.

I remember this specific example because the artist was paying the workers to do a pointless job. Technically, she was breaking the law. If only for that I thought it was interesting. I am not saying I always like this kind of performance art, but sometimes it reaches you in a way that a painting could not.
