Not really. Even low Earth orbit is absolutely gigantic. It’s considerably larger than the surface of the Earth after all. Scott Manley has the same issue that this website: for things to be seen, you need to magnify them extremely.

Each dot here represents things at most meters large. Most are centimetres large especially if you look at debris. Yet each dot is the size of a large urban area on Earth. Do the same thing with planes or boats and the Earth will be close to painted a solid colour.

Obviously, to size, you would see nothing from this distance which would be a lot less impressive, a lot less useful but a lot less scary.

> It’s all about the passing the algorithm coding interviews.

As someone who's been involved in hiring for these companies - it's more accurate to say that for all but the most exceptional candidates, a decent score on the algorithms interview is necessary but not sufficient. I've seen fairly similar performances in technical interviews result in offers for mid-level (~$350k), senior (~$500k), or staff (~$700k) based on experience and the behavioral interview.

it's decentralization that is the scam, crypto being merely a downstream application of this unworkable ideological position which consists of elaborately ignoring the impossibility of creating a sustained "power vacuum"

Decentralization is a nonsensical semantic mirage, a claim that this act of agency occurs without an agent. There is always a selfish motive with first-mover advantage lurking at, or plotting to usurp, maximally influential clique at center of mass in every decentralization scheme. Satoshi 'disappeared' (and bitcoin ideologues strongly condemn attempts to identify him) because it is understood that his existence would fatally undermine the bitcoin origin fable of decentralization.

> Do you think that's why folks are looking to add diversity to the workplace?

No, but they say obviously untested things like this: "diverse companies are more profitable and more likely to achieve long-term growth as an entity and in their industry." -- Marketwatch

If that was true you wouldn't see the push for it, companies would be fine with their competitors missing the boat while they hired all the undervalued diversity. I would prefer honest messaging such as "Diversity may cost in the short term but we believe it is morally worth doing". Then we could have an open conversation about goals and methods and costs.

Why would Russia have done it? They want to sell gas.

The ethical problem is in causing unnecessary harm to others.

The philosophical thinking would apply to those who are capable of entertaining and acting upon it. The spiders are obligate carnivores, so have no choice in the matter, and likely no concept of the issue.

That said, I think your point about responsibility to intervene is actually interesting. There's a whole ethical matter concerned with this question.[1] My personal take on it is that we have a responsibility insofar as we have power over the matter.

We have the power to control our own actions, but I don't see any way we could reasonably resolve the issue of wild animal suffering, at least in the near term with our current technological capacity. If hypothetically we did have a way to end all suffering on Earth without fucking it all up, I don't see how we couldn't feel an ethical responsibility to do so. Were we the ones suffering we would hope others would do it for us.

In the US we have utility scale pumped storage hydro power which is a non-chemical battery (assuming you’re referring to chemicals other than water).
Nobody suggested power plants should not be constructed. At issue is what to construct. Starting nukes now brings catastrophe nearer, as they displace exactly zero CO2 output for many years, vs. alternatives that start displacing CO2 output immediately.
It needs to allocate 2 GB on startup. Could you be low on memory?
It’s actually cheaper to build a game with higher graphics settings and then let people tweak the settings vs trying to optimize a game for hardware you can’t actually test with in development. On top of this you can release some awesome screenshots from settings that aren’t actually playable at release.

This is especially beneficial when deadlines slip and suddenly consumers have a lot better hardware than you where expecting.
InnoSetup for the win!
As someone at a quant firm, it's true of both.

Years of experience really counts for next to nothing. Two people with X years of experience could have vastly different skillsets and it genuinely signals next to nothing about how qualified they would be for this job.

Both roles involve highly technical interviews and then a 3 month probationary period that is quite challenging. If you have a lot of experience then I'd expect you to do well in the technical interview, although unfortunately in practice this doesn't end up being the case.

While I understand the mixed responses to this post, and I started writing a lengthy comment with my own point of view, I realized that all said and done, this is just what the author wants.

It is commendable that the author is going to these lengths to experience what they are after. I'm not sure it has to be quite this extreme: for instance, you don't have to deliberately visit in the worst possible weather to experience the place authentically, especially since you're already going off the beaten path to places where most tourists aren't going to visit anyway.

The only problem with this sort of travel is that you're not really getting to live as a local, no matter what sort of condition your subject yourself to. Real life has bureaucracy, waiting in line for boring stuff, sometimes concerning stuff. It has limitations that stem from what you make, while visiting significantly smaller economies you are disproportionately wealthy and you don't really share the locals' means for survival.

No matter what you do, you are still a spectator, and while you're learning about different cultures and lifestyles, it's okay to have some fun.
Yeah, I could also write a program that checks if all solutions are 0 and output the factorization, otherwise say "there are non-zero solutions". That's far from "a program that factors polynomials".

If you brag about how "you can design a computer program to factor any polynomial equation string input to it" in a class about quadratic equations and your code can't factor x^2 - 2, that's just not very impressive, regardless of your age.
That facility cost "more than $400 million" so let's say 22 of them cost $10 billion.

Okay, toss on another 50% to make it $15 billion.

If the factories don't exist, the time scale of a nuclear plant should be enough to make more factories.

>When you are salaried, you are rewarded based on your deliverables. If you can deliver two jobs of output to satisfactory results, then who cares.

What you said is true, but only on a practical level. On a theoretical/legal level, it's certainly not true because (most?) salaried position contracts contain clauses that prevent you from holding another job[1][2].

> you have an experience.

What are "you"? And what is an "experience"? You highlight this like it's a magical phrase that cannot be explained, and your arguments suggest that you take it as a foundational assumption. But if you assume a fundamentally inexplicable nature to both personhood and experience, then you cannot possibly recognize any explanation for these, because doing so would require giving up your assumption.

I recently came across a paper arguing that consciousness as commonly referred to does not exist due to semantic issues around the term "consciousness," and your arguments reminded me of it. It's quite readable, if you're interested: "Consciousness Semanticism: A Precise Eliminativist Theory of Consciousness" by Jacy Reese Anthis. The abstract and main argument:

> Abstract. Many philosophers and scientists claim that there is a ‘hard problem of consciousness’, that qualia, phenomenology, or subjective experience cannot be fully understood with reductive methods of neuroscience and psychology, and that there is a fact of the matter as to ‘what it is like’ to be conscious and which entities are conscious. Eliminativism and related views such as illusionism argue against this. They claim that consciousness does not exist in the ways implied by everyday or scholarly language. However, this debate has largely consisted of each side jousting analogies and intuitions against the other. Both sides remain unconvinced. To break through this impasse, I present consciousness semanticism, a novel eliminativist theory that sidesteps analogy and intuition. Instead, it is based on a direct, formal argument drawing from the tension between the vague semantics in definitions of consciousness such as ‘what it is like’ to be an entity and the precise meaning implied by questions such as, ‘Is this entity conscious?’ I argue that semanticism naturally extends to erode realist notions of other philosophical concepts, such as morality and free will. Formal argumentation from precise semantics exposes these as pseudo-problems and eliminates their apparent mysteriousness and intractability.

> 3 The Semanticism Argument

> Now that terminology is established, the semanticism argument is brief and straightforward.

> 1. Consider the common definitions of the property of consciousness (e.g., ‘what it is like to be’ an entity) and the standard usage of the term (e.g., ‘Is this entity conscious?’).

> 2. Notice, on one hand, each common definition of ‘consciousness’ is imprecise.

> 3. Notice, on the other hand, standard usage of the term ‘consciousness’ implies precision.

> 4. Therefore, definitions and standard usage of consciousness are inconsistent.

> 5. Consider the definition of exist as proposed earlier: Existence of a property requires that, given all relevant knowledge and power, we could precisely categorize all entities in terms of whether and to what extent, if any, they possess that property.

> 6. Therefore, consciousness does not exist.

Uggh. Why throw soup even if the painting is glazed? Two wrongs don’t make a right.
The black hats keep the developers releasing new versions, and the product and marketing teams keep a list of "features" and "improvements" to slip into every new version. Coincidentally most of the bugs and security vulnerabilities are caused by these new features and improvements. It's a vicious cycle.
For the 30 series it was the 3080 in particular which looked fantastic - it had 95% the performance of the 3090 for half the price ($750 vs $1500) and it was a large improvement on the previous generation.

This time around the 4090 is an excellent card, the 4080 16GB is a lot slower and the 4080 12GB a lot slower than the 16GB.

They've also jacked the prices: the 4080 should be $750 and the 4090 should be $1500. Arguably lower again given the coming recession and the market being flooded with the previous generation.

It will be interesting to see what AMD do as they could make life very difficult for nVidia.
I use only terminal programs for my development job.
There has to be a real good reason for me to use a gui while working.
One such good reason is a web browser. there is simply no way to work in the modern world without one. (for a large percentage of people anyway)

git, vim and plugins/addons for it, *nix tools in general, man pages etc.
don't need more than that and a browser.
There's a lot more nuance than that. During Wartime, the Ładoś_Group would be considered organized crime; It was a passport-forging ring. During peacetime, "Radio Free Europe" was organized crime; The Soviet Union tried it's best to jam it.

Coming to agreements with local organized crime against foreign enemies is distasteful but pragmatic and usually a good; Even The Joker[1] had some patriotism.

Funding foreign organized crime can be used for good or ill. You can supply the black market with foreign goods to convince them that life would be better under new government (which the CIA did during the cold war), or you can supply drugs and weapons so they kill themselves off. One is an absolute sin; The other is more questionable but generally good.

It's still possible to live in the terminal, but only in the same way that it's still possible to eat healthy, but you'll have to identify and eliminate all the junkfood out of your life first, and your current junkfood-loving friends may not be able to remain your friends for too long after this kind of lifestyle change.

Having said that, I often wonder the reverse. I'm so happy with my terminal, that every now and then I wonder how much longer will it be possible for me to put up with all the junkfood-equivalent crap that is forced down my throat on a daily basis before I say "enough is enough" and go into virtual hermit mode?
Thinking about how many sea animals produce large quantities of offspring, I wonder if the answer is that while normally competition for food & predators limit how many survive in those situations a fair number can expand out of the protected area, with the predator population artificially low after having crashed along with whatever was overfished.
You are conflating too many popular terms incorrectly while trying to make your point.

Baseload as defined by Wikipedia that you cited does not contradict my point, you don’t seem to understand the nuance of what economic demand is and why that is different from an attribute or minimum design spec.

It isn’t the consequence as you originally declared, it is an attribute of the grid itself. That’s a very important thing to understand. Anything can provide that input to the grid, but that means the source providing input to the grid must meet that very basic design specification.

Flexibility of generation capacity coming online is easily compensated by other parts of the grid such as the storage or load shifting characteristics of the grid.
This is such BS.
I do. I equally scold anyone that says MDMA or LSD is the cure all of depression.

It's not an analogy. There is no mechanical difference between someone using Amphetamines to treat their ADHD and someone using insulin to treat their diabetes. There are just as many external as internal factors that go into how someone can get diabetes and what dosage of insulin they need at a specific moment in time. Science has advanced to a point where diabetes specifically can be monitored easily by a patient. The same is true of hypertension.

The difference for mental health issues is that there is no easy quantifiable way to diagnose someone.

Every organ is the most complicated organ in the human body, at a certain level every organ has a mechanism science doesn't understand yet. That's not a valid argument.

The same is true for pain management. And Multiple Sclerosis.

I would suggest you look into the modern state of neurophysiology and neuropsychopharmacology. The "we don't understand" is not true anymore. The reality is that there are so many factors affecting a certain visible outcome that it's hard to specify a root cause.

I am not a medical professional, I have only taken some 300 and 400/grad level courses in psychology.

This seems like a research area so horrific it could exist only in a comic book. This type of thing should not be funded or researched. I'm surprised it needs to be said but we shouldn't grow human brains to experiment on them. Maybe if we could understand and quantify consciousness and be sure we weren't subjecting something to hell - but certainly not while we can't do that.
Just random thoughts:

Be pretty good at what you are doing (absolutely no need to be a genius though, at least for SWE). Classic Google interview stuff, although they do put emphasis on slightly different things.

Knowing maths helps, knowing low latency helps, but its not required - any quant shop needs a ton of normal software.

If you don't have friends in the industry, etc. going through a good recruiter might actually help.
The "northern parts" of Sweden are, by report, already massively oversupplied with hydro power.

All matter in the Universe is dormant consciousness. Living systems animate this through electro chemical perturbation of the quantum states.

It'd be expensive, but it's technically feasible. I'd also expect there's economies of scale involved; building a cable with twice the capacity doesn't cost twice as much; you might even just use the same cable and run it at a higher voltage.
