Advanced weapons don't need 5nm chips. How will this hamper anything in China long term? Germany for example cut off its biggest energy suppliers is preparing for an economic war with China while claiming they're moving to renewables with a supply chain that is owned over 80% by China. Where is Europes manufacturing these days? India, China, Vietnam, Turkey? Turkey is completely alienated by Europe and is turning more extreme by the day as a result(they applied to the "EU" in 1987 btw). Vietnam went to apologize for Blinkens statements to the Chinese representatives not to long ago and India is actively defying western sanctions even though they dislike China and said that their problems with China are not related to the Ukraine situation at all and that they will deal with China on their own if they need to.

Usually, when you prepare for a war, you set up alternative supply chains, build up your capabilities, set up your independent energy/natural resource supply chain and then cut off what you consider your enemy. How is Europe to build up their military for a confrontation if they can't even power their own factories?

I thought Trump was bad at making these kinds of strategic decisions, but this administration takes the cake. Completely haphazard, ill conceived, badly planned decisions that only make sense if you turn back the clock to 1990.

If I was really generous and speculative I'd say that the plan is to make everyone divest to Taiwan in the hopes that Taiwan is then more important to everyone. But can nobody read a map? You have China 100km across the strait and the US 7000 km away. Last time they tried to upgrade the F16s they had to have an emergency landing in Hawaii. We had missile tests on this island which had to be stopped because the missiles had launch failures. This is local Taiwan news. Cut off China completely and move everything to Taiwan. What does China have to lose from invading and embargoing Taiwan at that point?

If there is one lesson from the Ukraine conflict its not to turn Taiwan into another Ukraine. It's to start some kind of dialogue, and try to involve parties such as India in that dialogue.

EDIT: since the person below had to come up with this "don't talk to terrorists" nonsense, i have to respond.

This isn't some bank raid or a high school fight. These are conflicts with the biggest nuclear power that exports 1/3rd of earths natural resources and the biggest manufacturing and military manpower on the planet.

You ABSOLUTELY talk to them. Estonia made statements like that as well. You ABSOLUTELY talk to a neighbour that has 377 your surface area in land and the worlds biggest nuclear arsenal. What's wrong with these people?

Let's say they are terrorists for the sake of the argument. All the more reason to find a solution. Or if you really want a military confrontation, prepare for it silently and then show your cards when you're ready.

Negativity aside, the article makes fair arguments against setting expectations for rail speed too high. The thing is, trains do not have to be faster than 300kph/185mph to compete with planes.

Modern trains are infinitely more comfortable than modern planes, so they do not need to match planes in travel times. A modern train features silent travel, ample leg room, unpressurized air and no seat belts. Reliability is key and that does require infrastructure investment.

Rail infrastructure will always require subsidies but the costs do not have to be astronomical. Meanwhile, the cost of air traffic emissions are carried by society, which can't go on much longer.

Simple doesn't mean overhyped or over used. Both 'ls' and 'cd' are simple to implement. The script is more of a tutorial than it is making fun of anything. You'd need to give better reasons for why Docker is overhyped than "look at this simple script which does some Docker-like stuff".
The Ariane rocket project must be one of the biggest embarrassments not only in space aviation, but as a wholesale indictment of government-funded projects that have a direct comparison with market-based competitors.

That the lesson learnt from this is "Space should not be dominated by market forces" probably explains the whole difference for why the US are the most dynamic economy in the world and Europe is nowhere close.

Why they haven't thrown their wasteful rocket design out of the window and instead asked a team a tenth of the size to try and copy-paste the Falcon design is beyond me.
Fun fact, actual old growth natural forests are carbon neutral. The trees sequester the same amount of co2 as is released by various fungi and other organisms that break down dead trees.

However, commercial forests that are harvested every few decades (depending on species) and their wood locked up in various products like paper, furniture or buildings store co2 for the lifetime of the object. If the resulting object is at the end of its useful life put in a landfill (underground) that prevents decomposition, co2 is locked for a very long time.

Tldr. / Commercial forests are better for "the climate" that old growth. Dumping organic matter in deep landfills is better that composting for the same. Mind blown!
While some of the features of LogSeq are great I find it has a major drawback.

The MarkDown files it generates aren't compatible with other similar programs (Obsidian for instance).
It adds 2 spaces which makes thins incompatible with others.

This is the major advantage of Obsidian, it is not too much opiniated about how the RAW file should look. Which makes moving form one editor to other pretty easy.

I agree this is a key part. I would argue no transport network exists without massive subsidies. Simply decouple the infrastructure operation from the operation of trains.

Zuckerberg interview on ignoring haters, suspecting Apple, and an open ecosystem
Is this a fact? I know that Ogilvy & Mather did a lot of famous work for IBM, while Apple's main agency was Chiat/Day for years, if not decades since at least 1983. Chiat/Day created the iconic "1984" TV ad as well as the "Think Different" campaign, among lots of other famous Apple ads.

There's a great book "Chiat/Day - the first twenty years" with a lot of ads for Apple and other brands.
As someone mentions in one of the article's comments, the solution is to "drop down the speed a bit". I.e. HSR will never be able to compete with airplanes if you take both cost and time into the equation, but lower-speed rail can definitely compete against privately-own cars, which would be a bigger win imo.

To take the example of Europe, it's much more important to connect a location, by rail, with as many other locations in a radius of 200-300 km, and, even more importantly, to connect those other locations between themselves, than to connect that location by HSR with another one placed at ~1000 km. So, much more important to connect Paris with Caen, Nantes, Rennes, Brest, Reims, Rouen, Troyes, Tours, Orleans, and, more importantly, to connect Nantes with Caen, or Troyes with Tours, or Reims with Rouen, than is to spend the money in order to build a HSR between Paris and Berlin.

More to the point, I'd rather we spend the money to have the French rail network of 1914, which was slower, but which was covering a lot more places, than the French rail network of 2014, which is way faster, but which is covering fewer places. See this reddit thread for the relevant rail maps [1]

To me, most of these things are (well look) too dynamic; I like prototyping in clojure where I can write vomit to try things out fast, but when it has been done and dusted, I want to cast it in concrete and steel, which includes statically typed query/body params. It is vital to how we work because any changes there would probably mean something is very wrong (malicious most likely).

I never really drank the clojure (which I really like by the way and, like said, I use for prototyping/spelunking) creator koolaid that web apis are changing all the time so you need to be flexible. This, in practice, with companies that don’t fall over tomorrow, doesn’t happen that often.

You can't have both like that. Cars will need to lose priority to make public transit usable.

Car infrastructure spreads everything out, puts parking lots everywhere, makes walking or cycling impossible or really unpleasant. You can't have working public transit if visiting two businesses requires walking 10 minutes along a loud boulevard.

America has tried cars-first infrastructure. It has failed. The spread is unsustainable, and it's bankrupting suburban areas.

> You're specifically visiting their website. You are explicitly requesting whatever they're serving up.

It would be preferable if I could visit a website without having to trust them to run code on my computer.
In general, it's preferable to make things as little intrusive as possible.

> a program you downloaded is gasp executing code on YOUR computer

The same is true for programs people download too.
There is too much abusive code, both on the web and in other programs.

When I download a program I do it from a trusted source.
The program has the source code available and I (and everyone else) have the right to read and modify that code.
The web can't work like this because:

1. Websites are so many that I can't trust all of them.

2. Even if the javascript is readable, it is tied to the rest of the website and can change at any time so any modifications or rewrites will stop working.

Not clear to me how that's object-oriented. You're not sending a "put yourself in the trashcan" message to the document, or sending a "pull the document to yourself" message to the trashcan. If anything, you're invoking the environment's "drag" function with two arguments, "document" and "trashcan"; that's object-oriented only insofar as the environment contains every function and can be sent messages to invoke them.
> philosophers never change their minds: they occasionally do. But not as a result of arguing! It's usually more self-correction than other-correction

6/10, for FDM on plastics; mainly PLA and ABS. Bought an Ender3; dumped it after a month. Now have a Raise3D E2 (FDM printer) for prototyping parts and enclosures.

Overall experience is... can be finicky depending on what you're printing, the plastic type (PLA is generally the easiest; PETG will come out stringly; ABS has certain advantages, but can be more finicky), and the printer. I think the overall experience comes down to both use case and equipment.

Online articles and discussions are biased towards people who treat it as a hobby - with this in mind, the finickyness is viewed as a perk; it allows you to build skills working around the various problems, troubleshoot problems with a community, upgrade your printers for fun etc.

I couple of years ago I was lucky to use http4k, a server as a function web library for Kotlin. It was such a wonderful change compared to every other technologies available in both Java and Kotlin. It's simple.

Testing becomes so much easier too, as one can instantiate a the whole web routing aspect, without having to bind it to a port and having to send real http requests.

If strongly suggest people to take a look at it. It's not perfect, but it's a lot simpler than other frameworks and libraries. And it's a shift in some of the current mentality of using heavy frameworks (such as spring boot) which blow up anyone's cognitive load.

Fool around with things.

What’s that do? How’s that work?

When we get older, and accustomed to things, we start to take them for granted.

When we’re told what something is and what it does or learn about them in a formal purposeful way we stop wondering about them, accepting what we know as some sort of “established dogma.”

This “familiarity” is often a self deception. We miss things. Things go unnoticed…

This is why newcomers/outsiders often make great discoveries. They don’t have their blinders fixed by routine or expectations.

> Curiosity is tied to an emotion.

I’m not sure I agree. Emotions are a form of personal confusion. Curiosity is intellectual. More tied to unemotional ignorance and lack of rigidity towards formal expectations.
It's mostly the metal roofs everywhere blocking the signal.
I’d probably question your motivations before your arguments. You really can’t deny it is in the spotlight because we have elections coming up and this is a polarizing topic to mobilize voters with. Many of which will not understand any of the nuance.

And then I’d be wondering if your point requires dismissal of wide consensus (or - I have experienced this - sociology as a legitimate field of study all together) in favor of few outliers.

Also, I’m genuinely not sure which conclusions we are talking about here. I purposefully avoided sports and early medical transition and mentioned the DeSantis groomer / libsoftiktok stochastic terror against trans healthcare thing first - because that’s as close to objectively bad as anything related to this topic gets.

There was a time when many within the AI community thought that every problem could be solved using neural nets, tuning and lots of training. Elon truly believed them, and believed himself that if you trained a large enough network on trip recordings and/or sensor data, the network would magically come up with correct driving inputs. It seemed to work well enough on closed courses, so everybody, including Elon, thought that within a year's time we'd have figured out the kinks. That's when he made the mistake of promising FSD. Turned out, what worked in one city/country didn't work in another. And then we had inconsistent road markings, missing lane dividers, lanes going into walls, pigeons... So they had to get back to more 'conventional' machine vision combined with some neural to recognize objects. It turned out driving is a hard problem that humans happen to be very, very good at. And here we are, many years later, and the problem isn't close to being solved - and not for lack of trying.

IMHO finding a solution to self-driving isn't so far from finding a way to scale intelligence enough to reach AGI. I'm sure we'll get to self-driving before we get to AGI, but solving self-driving will be a major stepping stone towards AGI. Hence Elon is now aiming square at it:

It is peculiar how the segregationist isolationists and cancel-culture-peddlers use exactly the same lines of reasoning, while 1 gets tagged as racist and the other a radically anti-racist.

It is about time for people to look at the core ethics that guide either thought and at least draw the association between the two. What to name this collective community is anyone's guess, but at least the cognitive dissonance will be gone.

To aspire to understand each other is at the core of facilitating diversity and inclusion. That includes asking stupid questions, difficult questions and sometimes offensive questions. It includes tolerating faux pas and cultural appropriation.

And lastly, it requires treating other communities with the capacity for occasionally just as much good and at other times just as much malice as any other community suffering from the human condition.
