None of the industrial languages I’ve looked at (Kotlin, Typescript, Go, Java, Swift, Rust) can do the things I want to do using only typelevel features, especially at practical scale. Eg, transform a schema type that describes my database tables into an easy-to-use query builder and data abstraction API with rich method chaining.

Often in Java/Kotlin projects people end up writing compiler plugins / annotation processors which is like moving the codegen to build time and making it harder to inspect/understand, while simultaneously spending more developer time on it since those systems may need to run for every compiler invocation. The same goes for Rust; rust’s various macro systems target the problem I have, but Rust users report long compile times due to macro magic. More esoteric languages like Scala and Haskell might have the expressive power I want, but don’t seem practical to implement for other reasons.

Of course there’s always the runtime only approach in Ruby/ActiveRecord but that runs into correctness problems at practical scales.

Codegen is usually brittle and is often ugly, but is guaranteed to have more metaprogramming power than in-language typelevel features. Ultimately any such system can be complex, I just hope to build one where the leverage I payed for with complexity is well worth it.

I grew up in AZ.. just run the water until it cools down. Unless your showering from an outside hose it'll be 50 degrees just from being underground. If you aren't getting that then something is very wrong with your plumbing I'd recon. Like, the tap intake comes into the house after the swap cooler on the roof kind of thing. Plus the evap after the shower.. that'll cool you off.
It's early days, but costs per pound to space are going down fast. The tech itself isn't science fiction we can sinter a cannonball from lunar dirt or extract aluminum and make a ball to put in a catapult. It's just plenty expensive as yet, but costs are coming down.

You're right, according to me, about getting minerals from the asteroid belt, for earth use. That's not happening until the farther future: the delta is extreme, and down to earth itself not trivial. But extraction from the moon or mars moons (about the same delta to a lagrange point as the moon believe it or not) can be economical in bulk precisely because the cost to get to earth orbit can only go down so far (the cost of the fuel).

Fulton used to loiter around the fences around his steamship as it was being built; you should find and read all the scorn every single passerby had for the mad, doomed project that seems pretty ordinary now.

When I was young, maybe 1963, I had dreams in which people in the future were carrying around small devices with screens they kept looking at, about the size of my fathers pocket calender planner (3" by 6" maybe). Not a wholly original idea, Dick Tracy comics showed a TV watch back then.

My father, a very competent electronics engineer who was very well read, poured absolute scorn on the idea. He didn't just say that no known tech could do that, he said that the device was strictly impossible, and that no matter how long the world lasted, no such device would or could exist. His reason: you can't flatten a cathode ray tube that much. Time easily dispenses with our reasons why not.

Bester is criminally under appreciated.
We fight for promising candidates we get in touch with, with friends at YC that need great people. Some of them like our high "signal to noise" ratio. We think using this "got to 2nd round at Big Tech" is surely not the perfect heuristic, but YC founders have said candidates here are on average way more attractive than their usual applicant pool.
None is better or worse candidates. But the fact is that a great amount of exceptional talent get attracted towards applying to Big Tech, and often they may get rejected for trivial reasons and lose self-belief.

Our aim is to change that and provide them an opportunity to do work that's more meaningful and exciting. The hypothesis is that getting to the 2nd and above rounds at is a metric that may indicate your skilfulness.

I've been using Ent for some time on a project and its been quite nice to just be able to write the schema in Go, testing has been a breeze with the enttest package, hooks work well, and everything feels intuitive to me unlike most other ORMs or ORM-adjacent tools.

My preferred package before Ent was Squirrel [1] but I definitely plan to use Ent for future projects.

This looks really cool and I'd love to give it a go, however the installation instructions don't seem to be working for me.

I've tried both the Docker and non-docker instructions. Using Docker I get an error stating "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement onnx-simplifier>=0.4.1" (I'm running Python 3.9.6 per the installation instructions).

If I manually install the dependencies I got a bunch of errors whilst executing pip install.

Has anyone else experienced these errors and know how to go about resolving them? I'm on an m1 macbook.

Seems like the airframe limitations of swing wing aircraft make the designs hard to modify and make existing aircraft require more maintainence. The F-111 was also retired relatively early and the Indian Air Force retired its Mig-23 and Mig-27 aircraft before its Mig-21s. Aside from the one exception of the Su-24, seems like only the big swing wing bombers are kept in service worldwide.

I'm excited about the possibility of a more decentralized / open source WeChat coming out of this. Twitter has their BlueSky project for decentralized social media and is bringing on many pro-crypto people into management (e.g. https://twitter.com/sriramk). It would be a great story of USA freedom vs Chinese control that could be really good for the world and Twitter.

Ironically Jurassic Park was an exception (made a great movie, but Spielberg must have been very happy to lose the book's preoccupation with details of chaos theory and computer systems in the screenplay)
Billy and Jamal are similar students, who get in the same kind of trouble. Billy gets an informal talking to, while Jamal gets dealt with by a police officer, with consequences to the rest of his academics and childhood, because policing in his town isn't color-blind, and doesn't give two figs about equality of opportunity.

Fortunately, the color-blind, impartial post-secondary admissions process looks at their two cases and determines that obviously, Billy would be a better student, and admits him.

We can all sleep easily, knowing that equality of outcome was avoided, by simply closing our eyes to all the stages in the pipeline where equality of opportunity was denied to Jamal. All it took was an alliance of color-blindness and just a little bit of actual blindness.

Equality of opportunity only works if we take steps to verify it. We don't, and gatekeepers can neither verify, nor enforce it. That's why they prefer equality of outcome - because that's something they can do something about.

I mean I support that view that a misrepresentation may need to be called out.

I'm not convinced that this is evidence in favor of 'all science is political', the stance of postmodernists. It's all ideology, it's all political, there are institutional trappings in society that are unavoidable, etc is the crux, and it's far-reaching, as no one can escape a political position. It's a suffocating viewpoint we're seeing played out painfully in the culture wars: you're either with us or against us, state your position, etc.

Embrace the fragmentation.

The economic situation seems to be getting worse, there's tons of people without jobs that could get lots of exposure and experience working in tech related field by moderating all these small federated instances.

Plenty of networking opportunities as well.

There are going to be a lot more niche and diverse internet communities, and with things being spread out among the various instances it'll be a lot harder for trolls to summon concentrated attacks.

Communities will be smaller and higher quality while still being able to co-mingle via federation.

Unfortunately that stuff may also apply to more nefarious communities online and they may benefit by hiding amongst all of the other federated instances.
One thing to keep in mind is that post-tech crash in 2001, there was consensus (among many investment firms) that the future growth of the US economy going out decades would be lower than the 90’s, think a drop from 6-7% annual returns to 3-4%.

That turned out to be be wrong.

Mine found the 2 people I'd already followed on Mastodon. Maybe one day more people will be on it, but if not, it's not that big of a deal.
> To find someone on Mastodon, I would either enter their nickname in the search bar (no need for the domain, it will search on all instances)

Nope, It will only show accounts followed by local accounts.

Mastodon doesn't do any kind of per server search, And your "federated feed" is basically accounts on other instances followed by local accounts.

This makes hosting a private Mastodon server, for personal or family use, incredibly hard as discovery is basically impossible.

This can be fixed by using Activity pub relays, but guess what? Mastodon's official servers don't use them, which are the servers that really matter.

Its a big part of why I'm hesitant to use Activitypub, as I believe discovery is a big part of modern social media, and Mastodon absolutely sucks at it.

This is coming from someone hosting his own Matrix server.

>I watched TNG religiously as a kid, but once Berman took over and began infusing pointless interpersonal conflict, I lost interest.

Really? So you actually liked Season 1, and lost interest at the start of Season 3? You're a really rare person then. Most fans acknowledge that the first season was pretty bad (esp. the racist episode), and the second season was better but still rough (Pulaski was annoying), and that season 3 was when all the classic episodes started. You're the first person who's ever said they liked the first season the most.
I've used all of those when they came out. SunView was presented to me as the default and was all I used until X11 took over. MGR was awesome and almost certainly the easiest to develop for. I really regret MGR didn't get more traction. Note, MGR worked over terminal connections like rsh, unlike the rest of them (X11's hackish DISPLAY not withstanding). OpenLook (and NeWS) were dog slow on the humble hardware (IIRC) so I never used those in anger.

X11 is such a kludge, but a useful one, so it took the market I guess. I suppose Wayland is the future but AFAICT, it's even harder to develop for than X11.
TLDR: Tesla thinks LIDAR hardware is more expensive than the performance improvement it provides.

I didn't like his line of logic about how vision is necessary and sufficient, because that's how humans drive. Okay sure, but if some combinations of non-human sensors could drive better and/or cheaper than a vision only driving system, surely he would not argue for sticking with vision only? Maybe adding non-vision sensors lets you save hardware and software resources on the vision part of the system.

In theory, newer powerline adapters can use encryption to isolate networks. As usual with such protocols, the devil is in the implementation details.

There appears to be no affordable physical (L1) firewall for powerline networking. There are "EMI power filters" in the 14khz to 40Ghz range for hospital MRI rooms (https://www.astrodynetdi.com/mri-shielded-facility-emi-filte...) and mil-spec SCIF isolation, with starting prices of a few thousand $.

This reminds me of Zhores Medvedev's analysis in the 1970's of Soviet scientific research into the effects of severe nuclear contamination. By compiling open papers from the Soviet Union that involved contamination research that could only have been performed on large populations of wildlife over a vast area Medvedev showed that a very large nuclear incident had occurred in the Urals in 1957, the so-called Kyshtym disaster. The large scale of the populations involved and the geographic scope of the research were lost on Soviet censors, and so the evidence accumulated over time in open papers.

Years later the Soviets admitted the major elements of the event, vindicating Medvedev. The Great and The Good of Western nuclear science had previously maligned him as a misinformation spreading crackpot. Because of course they would.
You’re right, but that still misses the point. More frequently updated software doesn’t make people intuitively trust it more. For some, it can do the opposite by making them question why it needs to be updated so much to begin with.

Humans don’t generally measure risks statistically. They do so emotionally and with lots of cognitive biases. You don’t alleviate that with more and more facts, unfortunately.

And lastly, he sure didn't have a problem with the machines for the several years he was in office, right? Only now that someone was polling better than him. I find the Brazilian electronic voting machines to be better than how we do it in the US.

Spatial data makes a lot of the 1 dimensional thinking more and more of a 20th century relic and even less of an opinion. "Those variables are unique to them" is an easy way to rationlize.

The culture divide make so many variables moot/invalid, since lifestyle, language and customs may not even associate with any of the variables (one-way/two-way doors for example).

As an individual, its easy to simplify. As someone trying to explain something, its easy to oversimplify, missing any/all of the details, experience and even the accumulated wisdom in basing the decision(s).

Reversible/irreversible is not usually a carrot on a stick. Even with health, detrimental/beneficial usually has more merit than any cost weighted variables (you can never buy your health back).

2=1+1 has worked just fine in traditional science for centuries. The (2) is usually unique though.

All that to say.... This article did nothing for me :)
>And the amount of habitable planets suitable for colonization is also always somewhat limited.

This part of ST doesn't really make sense. They're shown as having the tech to build enormous starbases (and with domed artificial habitats like "Running Silent" in the latest SNW episodes), so they don't need planets to colonize: they can just build O'Neil cyilnders.
