Reminds me of a version Pandora's Box story. Pandora opens a box of furies on the world, closes it too late in a panic, then hears a little voice in the box, pleading to be let out. In one version, Pandora lets out Hope, who acts as a balm to the pain and trouble caused by the furies. In another version, false Hope is the worst fury of all - a niggling voice that drives you on when there is no possibility of success.

So sounds like it can cause some out of spec stuff at the analog level, which could plausibly result in damage, but also probably dependant on exactly what bogus values are sent in a particular case and how resilient a particular LCD is.
Dont forget that there are smartwatches that look like a analog watches (kronaby, withings, ...)

This just proves how useless or limited the use of maths in daily life. Also, overthinking anything in life makes you more anxious.

That is called "The Paradox of choice" (Watch the TED Talk by Barry Schwartz: https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choi...)

> Although these results make sense from a mathematical point of view, no one in their right mind would follow the optimal strategy. This is probably caused by the unrealistic assumptions we made, ie: you can’t go to the same restaurant every day of your life without getting tired of it. One possible solution is to change the rating of a restaurant r i to be dependent on the number of times you’ve visited it, ie r i (n). However, this is outside the scope of this post and we’re not going to do it, but maybe it can serve as inspiration for another post.
Been doing IF on-and-off for maybe 5 or 6 years. I get the same way.

Since you already called this "warrior mode", I'd recommend reading the warrior literature for tools and techniques to help deal with this in a positive way. If you're new to it, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman is a great introduction and there should be enough references on it to start digging deeper.

There is a movie for the book as well but I don't recommend it.
I've considered myself an optimist for most of my life. But, starting in about 2014 I started to find myself being more of a pessimist more of the time. It got to the point in 2020 where I found myself pessimistic about pretty much everything.

You know what I noticed? It takes a lot of energy to be pessimistic and pissed off all the time.

So, instead, I'm trying to remain focused and motivated by the wrongs I would like to see made right. I'm picking problems which I think I can positively impact. And while I'm not optimistic about much of it, neither am I succumbing to a pessimistic view which leads to not taking action.

I have captured my personal experience of struggling with this topic during my career into a book called "Communication for Engineers".

It's cheap because it's an awful place to live. You can work in insurance, or hospitality, or for terrible wages in "tech", aka making CRUD apps or doing IT for the aforementioned industries. State taxes are super high and a huge burden. The weather is awful for all but 1-2 weeks in the spring and 1-2 weeks in the fall (hot and humid in the summer, extremely cold and windy in the winter). Schools are generally terrible.

Im oppossed to the great man theory. In my mind the better analog is a damn across a river. Knowledge piles up, that goes unexplained, the pressure on the explenation rises, strange "subvertive" theories gain traction bypassing the dogma, but still deformed by the shape of the dogma.
Finally one break through is made and the whole of knowledge tears through the old dogma, taking material with it for the next "hold-up".

Inkremental research flourishes again, exploring every nook and crevice of the newly discovered basin.

How to get the personal that does the final break through? Hire exotic characters who are uninfluenced by societys dogmatic powers. Heretics, Insane Prophets and Grifters, force them to be days filled with the material, so it fills the subconcious. Finally add some dogmatic priests to the mix, stand clear of the explosion.
If the situation is that bad and cheating is that easy, soon there will be researchers cheating all the way to Elo 2000, just like there are researchers submitting garbage papers to prove that some journals are jokes. That will be interesting too so I am not against your vision.
Depending on what medium you want to communicate, there are a number of options.

1) the hardest to change is talking. You tend to run at the limit of your capacity, taking shortcuts to speed up. This leaves little time for planning or introspection. However that's not to say its impossible. My first step would be to "develop" empathy.

What I mean by empathy is understanding how people feel, not feeling how they feel. there is no need to project their feelings onto you. To do this you need to be around other people. You need to listen in to their conversations and work out what each side is feeling, and figure out what their reaction would be to the words are being said.

Long in person meetings are good practice, You are allowed to stare vacantly, and listen intently.

2) For written communication, you are running at your own speed. Look at the blurb that comes with high end advertising, try and pull apart the facts from the spin. Those words have been chosen to illicit a specific emotion.

As a practice, try writing a complaint, instruction, or direction that fits into one paragraph. write the same thing three time, but targeting different emotions you want to get across, something simple, like joy, respectful annoyance, disappointment. put them asside for a week, come back and see how they make you feel.

Iterate and improve.

In my opinion this proves that making the wrong assumptions can lead you to useless results, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that maths are useless in daily life.

>The US was not "utterly defeated" when they left Vietnam o Afghanistan

I was in Afghanistan, and yes we were. I walked I don't know how many patrols in that country and watching how we left was a remarkable embarrassment that makes me finally understand what Vietnam Vets felt like, which is the last war the United States truly lost.

>Diplomatic solutions would mean to give something to the aggressor. That is not necessary, you can just beat their military and force them out.

I can't parse what this means, but I do speak a little German if you want to clarify. To "beat" the Russian military at this stage would require full NATO mobilization and World War III. I've made other comments on this website expressing my skepticism of the wisdom of NATOs involvement here, but I'll sum it up as this: Ukraine is not worth a bunch of cities in eastern Europe turning to glass. That's the reality, and you should note that the US Military has a pretty severe recruiting problem right now. We can't fight this war without a draft, and at some point the true nature of NATO will show through the clouds, which is that the United States has been paying for the continental security of the entire European continent for 50+ years.

Rheinmetall designed the new main gun for the M-1 Abrams, I guess.
I've been using i3 for years, there's just nothing that compares to a tiling window.

If I'm in windows I use virtuawin with alt+1, alt+2, etc for switching desktops. Not nearly the same, but works so much better than the builtin crap Windows has.

Paradoxically, I don't use alt+tab in windows to switch between programs. I used to do that, but then around XP (I think) they added the ability for programs to inject themselves into the alt+tab list. That means it's no longer completely consistent, which means I now have to think and check what alt+tab actually does so it stopped being any faster than just using the mouse.

So now if I need to flip between them quickly I'll either put them on different monitors (I use 3) and/or put them on different desktops. The combination makes me effectively as productive without the use of alt+tab. And it feels similar-ish to i3, so it's a bit comfortable in that respect as well.

NOTE: Anyone thinking virtuawin is like i3, it's not. It's just the best virtual desktop on windows (imo of course). Nothing on windows comes close to i3.

important to note that much like there is a wide range from bad cameras (“filmed with a potato”) to high resolution cameras, there is a wide variety of radars with different capabilities.

the radar unit in Teslas was pretty limited (basically designed for adaptive cruise control), and they showed that vision could outperform that radar (and have no interest in exploring non-vision approaches because “humans can drive with just eyes”)

> And why no just "classical" OS threads?

Because of memory footprint and thread contention.

OS thread's default stack size is often in the order of megabytes. On a server with 64GB of ram, that means you can't run more than ~64000 threads at once. That's not really a high number in the context of modern highly-concurrent servers.

Meanwhile, goroutine's (and probably green thread's and virtual thread's from languages other than Go) default stack size is in the order of kilobytes, allowing you to run millions of them concurrently.

Thread contention wastes CPU cycles on kernel-level context switches and may lead to hard-to-debug issues such as thread starvation. You generally have no control over how the OS scheduler manages OS threads, so without sophisticated thread synchronization mechanisms, you're relying on blind luck.

Userspace threads are usually scheduled by the language runtime itself, which gives it a higher level of control. For example, Go runtime schedules goroutine in a round-robin fashion, guaranteeing that all goroutines will have some kind of progress in a reasonable amount of time.

EDIT: Since this post is about UI, yeah, "classical" OS threads are pretty good choice, since you usually only need a single OS thread to handle all the UI events, while the rest of the system can do the processing. So both the "stack size" and "contention" arguments are not really relevant in that scenario.

I’m reminded of Erik Naggum’s epic rant about XML (I’ve misplaced the link): as the cost of compute and storage and network move relative to one another decade over decade, some things go from bad to good idea or vice versa.

These days, your storage-adjacent nodes can burn compute on the fly, you have to try hard to pay for rack-adjacent 10 gig, Snappy and zstd are so fast that SREs at Google and FB turn them on or off under service owners to shave the margins.

You can afford getting out of and back into a custom format for your domain, multiple times.

It’s going to be mmap’d ndarrays before it hits the compute stuff, and maybe libraries could be stronger there, but you can always throw away column names and putting them back is hard.
CLRS is what I own, but I never found it too helpful for that in particular.

You can't guess the future so future proofing is next to impossible. Providing solutions to people wants and needs is the way to go.

Figure how to fill needs in those areas and you'll be ok.

Inflation is high 'cause China. We are more interconnected and globalized than anytime in the past, thus the past is not a good model.

China is still in lockdown and their output isn't as high as pre-pandemic levels. Everything China makes pervades into everything we do in developed society. From high-tech chips to low-tech plastic stuffs.

Until China decides to open back up, prices will continue to increase. And until then rates will continue to go up to try to incentivize people to save.

I see this alleviating in 2nd half of 2022, thanks to China relaxing Covid restrictions.

That's the problem though - they already sold you something. They have your money.

NYS is overall absolutely terrible for gun stuff. Hunting rifles and shotguns are easy, but the current process for purchasing anything semi-automatic and/or a handgun in very onerous. Over a year wait in most counties, years long residency requirements, you have to give up your social media accounts, submit various notarized statements, in-person interviews, etc. If I have a NYS CCW and you don't, I cannot legally take you to a range (or my backyard) and let you try out shooting a handgun. You need to go through the entire permit process before you can touch a handgun inside of NYS. And if you're not a NYS resident? No permit for you, they don't grant them to non-residents.

It's easier to buy handguns in most European countries than in NYS, and that's not a good thing. The entire process is made to be incredibly time consuming, expensive and frustrating, enough that most people will just give up and not do it.

At this point the fed seems to be saying that those days are over, they will continue to increase rates until inflation hits 2%. Obviously this cannot go on forever because it becomes impossible to service the debt and you have to print money to pay it off. But it gives you more time and prevents hyper-inflation and we can hope that by then AI and other technological advances have made what we consider "economics" mostly irrelevant.
The Federal Reserves implements interest rate increases by selling the bonds that they own (bought in the past) in the market in exchange for cash ("Open Market Operations"). This takes cash out of the hand of the public (in exchange for cash that can be spent in the future). That's about as direct as it gets.

Removing cash in the public's hand via taxation has several drawbacks, as mentioned by other posters. It's a very slow legislative process, because it has much more direct distributional effects (who is going to be taxed?). Additionally, most academic economists believe more taxation reduces real, as opposed to nominal, economic activity ("distortionary effects of taxation").

Well because like you said - it's a general purpose controller. Maybe it can drive any display accepting voltage input between 5 and 12V, which means that you can use it with a display that only supports 5-8V range - you just limit the range in software and make sure the user can't select anything about 8V. But if a device is hacked and the controller sent direct commands, then of course it could lead to issues.
