I have a copy of this on a shelf by my desk. From Chapter 1 - "Whatever else you do, keep using the computer. If you have the question “what does it do if I tell it such and such?” then the answer is easy: type it in and see. Whenever the manual tells you to type something in, always ask yourself, “what could I type instead?“, and try out your replies. The more of your own programs you write, the better you will understand the computer."

There are no prosecutors in the SEC. Their attorneys can only bring civil enforcement suits. When they find evidence of criminal activity they pass that to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.
I just think there's a limit to how far optimizing the code and cutting costs is going to get him. I heard twitter was making a push to be more worldwide in its reach which could maybe work I guess. As it is though I don't know how much more he can drive usage of this product. I don't have any real product ideas for them myself. But they either need to drive ad revenue or come up with a compelling paid option. Maybe they can build on tweetdeck and make that a premium $$ feature? Maybe they start charging for api access.
I didn't consider TypeScript tooling. I guess that makes sense since it's usually converted to JavaScript instead of being run directly where errors would affect end users.
>Broadly speaking we the people cheered for and demanded cheap money.

Exactly! We saw what cheap money did to rebound the economy after the 2008 crash - it created the largest bull run we've ever seen.

Politicians, hoping to keep their jobs (and make sure their trading accounts grew), said "yeah, we'll keep things right as they are" because they didn't want to be the ones that caused a cool down which would in turn cost them their jobs (and insider information).
I imagine a reactor operating at 1000C is built almost entirely on graphite and ceramics... But I have no idea how they plan to use it with water, as graphite doesn't behave well on those temperatures with water around. (Maybe there is a heat exchanger at some point that makes failures on the wet side safe.)

It certainly looks possible. You will probably end up needing some amount of metals on the hot portion, but they can be minimized to a very large extent. Cheap, on the other hand, is not a property I would guess from that description.
> If you define EA as "figuring out how to deploy a given set of resources so as to do the most good," your conclusions are going to depend on your value system: how do you define and measure good?

This is exactly it. Because "good" is subjective to the individual, EA without some kind of consensus building reduces to "maximize your agency as an individual in the world, and do what you think is good," which gets uncomfortably close to Ayn Rand territory for me.

That's not just speculative either - if you read some of Caroline Ellison (Ex-CEO of Alameda Capital and an EA disciple) purported tumblr posts, it paints an image of someone who's passionate about ranking the world's issues in descending order of priority, investigating genetic differences between humans from different ethnic backgrounds, and "optimizing the world." We're not there yet, but it's also not a stretch to see EA turn into eugenics for someone with these interests and values.
ENS avoids this dispute mechanism by design, to avoid the need for a central third party.

> If the holder is using it maliciously to scam people by tricking them into thinking it's the real Apple, then yes!

Try applying your logic to Twitter and its current situation. Is it a good thing that accounts impersonating others are being suspended from the network?

Mastodon does not have this same centralization, so @teraflop@teraflop.xyz could impersonate your @teraflop@teraflop.com account. There is no centralized entity that controls the whole Mastodon and ActivityPub network, which I think is a good design decision for a less centralized protocol.

Gemini is Experiencing Outages
The fine print: "Gemini is partnering with accredited third party borrowers including Genesis, who are vetted through a risk management framework which reviews our partners’ collateralization management process."

Over at Genesis, there's this news article: "Crypto lender Genesis accepts NFTs as collateral for loans" [1] or [2]. That's in the Financial Times today. Does this mean that on the same day, Genesis stopped withdrawals and started accepting NFTs as collateral? What this seems to say is that Genesis borrows money at a high interest rate and lends it out on even riskier loans. What could possibly go wrong? Or, more to the point, what has already gone wrong?

Yes, that is the case when you upgrade to the current version.
There are roughly 3 classes of dependencies:

1. key system dependencies -- this includes things like Android APIs, IDE APIs, etc. ~ to work on newer versions of those platforms, you need to upgrade and make changes to the code

2. other runtime dependencies -- these are dependencies used to make the system run, but that don't need to be updated in sync with the target platform ~ this can be things like the version of Spring, a HTTP library, etc.

3. development dependencies -- these are dependencies used to build the project

The system dependencies result in a treadmill, where if you don't keep up with the changes then your application, plugin, etc. will no longer work on the latest version. Just keeping up with these can be a lot of work, especially if you need/want to support multiple versions.

The other dependencies can cause headaches when upgrading major (or even minor) versions. For example, making sure that all the libraries you use are compatible when upgrading another library or language (Scala, Python, Java, PHP, etc.). This can be a lot of work to make sure that nothing is broken.

Development dependencies are typically low on the priority of things to upgrade. If the version of ESLint you are using works and there are no key benefits of performing an upgrade, then it is less likely to be upgraded.
> It's been a few years since I read the book so a couple of the details may be off, but that was the gist of the story

I read the book but did not remember that part. So, I searched it. You almost wrote verbatim. What are the chances a leaker(s) would print before leaking? Very low or none. So, that practice has very slim chances of success. The one in the tweet is a bit better. But has a escape route. Either - try to grammatically correct or paraphrase - it before leaking.
Which printers in that timeframe ever directly printed word files?
Very much agree.

Even without this new capability of S3-based storage, Timescale's native columnar compression often gets like 95% storage reduction, even while staying fully in the PostgreSQL ecosystem.

(We often see our users amazed about how much less storage/disk they require after migrating from RDS.)

I have been getting those emails too, and I noticed that they get automatically send to spam ~5 minutes after I receive them.

I seem to be getting a spam email of this kind almost every day for the last ~6 months. Maybe the spammer found a way to prevent fingerprinting by Google and each batch of emails only gets automatically marked as spam after so many people manually mark it?
There's no shittier OS to use than a Windows system loaded to the gills with corporate rootkits and their agents. And is it actually more secure than a sanely configured Linux desktop? Those running agents kinda seem like pretty sweet targets for hackers.
Yes and "systems" includes drivers, which is mostly hardware drivers but can also be eg Windows antivirus or filesystem filters.

Personally I find that kind of work very frustrating, and the limitations of C makes it worse.
Except they should had self-liquidated in the air, not through lithobraking. And for two missiles in a row?

Want some real conspiracy theory?

Two missiles means they were launched from the same site. Two missiles failed to self-liquidate is not very probable, means they had the SL system disabled.

Now, even if there was a Russian missile - they were launched West and let to fall whereever it would be.

Note, AFAIR S300 has a radio commanded self-liquidation, in addition to a built-in one on altitude and miss.

If there was only one missile I could've believed it was a malfunction somewhere. Not with a two.

"That financing wouldn’t come cheap, according to Evan Ellis, a senior associate at the Washington DC based Centre for Strategic & International Studies. “China acts as a payday lender, they make good money off of these deals,” he said. “But they often find a way to tie the loans to long-term commercial and strategic benefits opening the way for Chinese companies.”"

Sounds ... predatory.
Bar charts are not very useful. The second bar chart here, especially, is hard to learn from. Plotting something like (days since last project release) vs (days since release of tool version used) seems like it might be be much more insightful.

>long term reliability

Are you aware that Tesla's MCU bricks itself after a few years due to eMMC wear? They also dragged their feet before finally caving in and agreeing to a recall. I wouldn't call any Tesla reliable long-term. The older models have proven themselves to be not reliable, and the new models are too new for these issues due to poor design to surface.

> This is realllly unidiomatic in real world Haskell.

Yet it is the actual behaviour in the stdlib Prelude.
Outside the USA, especially at smaller airports, xraying all the bags is something thats only done to meet the rules. The staff don't care what you have in your bag - if security has a queue, they'll just pick 100 random people and tell them to skip security and go straight through to departures.

Likewise, if there is only 2 people on duty to search bags identified that need searching, and they're busy, then any liquids etc. in other bags will be 'not noticed' so as to not overload the people searching bags and cause queues.

Such things make me always deliberately choose small airports - they're just so efficient compared to airports where security theater is done 'properly'.
Law, really? Aren't there a lot of legal terms (like 'ownership', 'possession' 'contract',...) that have precise legal definitions that may differ in crucial aspects from their colloquial usage?

I think you're confusing a definition being easy to understand with it being well-defined. Mathematical definitions are often hard to grasp exactly because they are so well-defined. If you want something to be easily understandable by a lot of people (especially outside the discipline), you'll usually have to sacrifice rigor.
> hypertest is an open-source CLI tool designed to help you maintain focus on the current coding subtask, built specifically for the easily distracted.

I don’t quite get this proposition. If easily distracted, and wanting to stay focused, wouldn’t you rather want to run tests only on demand and not be interrupted by failing tests after changing just a line or two and still not finished with the rest of your changes.

I can see the benefits of a fast feedback loop. But not sure the pitch of keeping you focused is how i would see it work for me. YMMV.
One common pattern for this is the reason English has a comparatively simple grammar. English was learned in adulthood by a series of invaders (Vikings, Normans). Adults aren't very good at learning new languages so they tend to discard the harder parts. Indonesian (Bahasa) is easy to learn for similar reasons, while some of the indigenous tribal languages of Indonesia are among the most complex in the world.
Didn't they "bail on their communities" to improve their situation? Won't these people who stayed put generally be in worse shape to buy than those who left or those who left other areas?

And I'm sorry but people left communities which abandoned them, not the other way around.
For that feature set and flexibility, I can't. However, for individual use cases I can.

Note taking: Bear, Apple Notes, Obsidian

Project management: Jira, Linear, Height

Wikis: can't think of any

IMO the flexibility and feature set Notion offers makes it a jack of all trades, but master of none tool. Maybe the sum turns out to be greater than parts for some people but for personal use I haven't enjoyed it. Fwiw I felt the same way about Coda. So it's a general comment on this category of "all in one" doc tools.
I think MLflow is a good idea (very) badly executed. I would like to have a library that combines:

- simple logging of (simple) metrics during and after training

- simple logging of all arguments the model was created with

- simple logging of a textual representation of the model

- simple logging of general architecture details (number of parameters, regularisation hyperparameters, learning rate, number of epochs etc.)

- and of course checkpoints

- simple archiving of the model (and relevant data)

and all that without much (coding) overhead and only using a shared filesystem (!) And with an easy notebook integration. MLflow just has way to many unnecessary features and is unreliable and complicated. When it doesn't work it's so frustrating, it's also quite often super slow. But I always end up creating something like MLflow when working on an architecture for a long time.

EDIT: having written this...I fell like trying to write my own simple library after finishing the paper. A few ideas have already accumulated in my notes that would make my life easier.

EDIT2: I actually remember trying to use SQLite to manage my models! But the server I worked on was locked down and going through the process to get somebody to install me SQLite was just not worth it. It's also was not available on the cluster for big experiments, where it would be even more work to get it, so I gave up on the idea of trying SQLite.

The significance is that these elements detected in a star don't mean they exist throughout the star, but only in the outer layers. So we don't need to somehow adjust theories of stellar evolution to explain how all that cesium got produced somewhere and this star got full of it. There's only a small amount of cesium, which fits within existing theories (produced from past supernovas), it's just unusually visible.

>I already work (remotely) much less than my contract says. I simply can't stay engaged to cognitively demanding tasks for a full day. The rest of the time I just feel kinda bad for slacking, which increases my stress levels for no good reason. If I got the permission to actually work less, I wouldn't feel so bad about it, which would probably lead to less stress and higher productivity.

How do you know it wouldn't just allow you to slack down to working 24 hours a week and feeling the same degree of guilt you are accustomed to now?

I have no idea. It just reminds me of the saying about lottery winners "If you weren't happy before you won, you won't be happy afterwards".

Chargeback works wonders.

They have already determined that they don't care if you fly with them or not, so why not make sure they don't get paid for experience? It is only fair.
Your beef appears to be with over-abstraction and not functional programming. FP generally makes debugging much easier because the state of the system isn't changing in unexpected ways underneath you, so you only need to look at local state.

A "functional" recipe is just as simple and straightforward as an "imperative" recipe.

Over-abstraction on the other hand, can be introduced with imperative object oriented programming just as easily as with functional programming.
It's not guaranteed, but competition solves this problem, and competition has empirically been particularly effective in the airline industry.

As a big-time hunter myself, I'm glad you got them all out. It sounds like the ones that stayed back were well prepared. Surprise snowfall is no joke and can catch out even the best mountaineers. Countless day hikers have lost their lives in smaller mountains like the Adirondacks in Upstate NY, let alone the big mountains in the Western US. Thankfully it's never happened to me, but I personally never venture into the mountains without the ability to survive for weeks if needed.

Of course there was American support for Maidan but that in no way undermines the legitimacy of the current government. Clearly, as we see from the peoples’ reaction to Russian occupation of territory after the February invasion that Russia’s actions are not popular amongst Ukrainians. Since Ukrainians are the ones being occupied their wishes on this matter take moral precedence.

The fact is that Russia has not been stably non expansionist for centuries. Russia’s actions in Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine, etc. show that whenever a government gains power that they don’t or where people rise up against a government they do like they react with military intervention. And in Ukraine in particular their actions are not supported by the people being affected. They are the morally reprehensible party. In the same way American overthrow of popularly elected governments in the past have been morally reprehensible.
A couple of things:
Your assumption of limitless JIT production is wrong but it's better to address this second.

Your statement about making everyone poorer to reduce demand is confusing. Do you mean raising interest rates makes everyone poorer and we shouldn't do it? If so, that's not true. It makes people that have borrowed poorer and it makes people who have lent richer. There are second order effects where borrowers can no longer borrow and spend so demand is reduced but that's not really making people poorer, it's limiting their ability to spend money they don't have. If you meant inflation was making everyone poorer, that's true, but your statement doesn't come off that way. Raising prices broadly makes everyone poorer, which is why the central bank should be fighting inflation with whatever tools they have.

Back to the limitless JIT production. if that was true (and we had limitless delivery to where goods were needed) then yah, we wouldn't have inflation, I agree. What we have instead is high production capabilities that took a hit from the war and a much larger hit from Covid policies messing up factory production and all this being fed into a severely overloaded transport system with chokepoints at most ports causing backlogs. if you want the high JIT production and delivery to be true then you need to address the causes of it not being true and that is often (but not always) government. Government is standing in the way of breaking the unions and automating the ports, for example. Government is also standing in the way of new fossil fuel infrastructure that is desperately needed via extreme uncertainty in regulatory approval processes.

> "and possibly for long hours"

Why did you add the word possibly? The email explicitly says "this will mean working long hours".

(I think work ethic and long hours are totally fine! But if a billionaire comes in, fires half of his staff, and then says the remaining ones need to work long hours to make his company a success... we can just acknowledge that, without softening his message.)
So this is how crypto mania dies, with endless halts.
> Where the C users are hiding? Is living programming in C even possible

About half my work is programming B&R PLCs in C, albeit it's C with a custom IDE and code generation that makes it quite different from a normal embedded environment. (The other half is Python, networking, radio comms, sysadmin, etc etc)

But it's actually somewhat rare to find people programming PLCs in C. The vast majority seem to be using a PLC-specific language, and even B&R is starting to move towards Python.
