I'm very surprised it took this long to recall them.
About 10 years ago, RadioLab did a live tour called “Apocalyptical” where the main story was this very premise. It was fascinating and kind of horrible to think about.

As a kid the asteroid theory was relatively new, and we envisioned it in the context of a Nuclear winter - which was also en-vogue in a way. To think of it as an event happening in a matter of hours is shocking.
Yeah, they do it for exactly that reason -- but not all do. Some even go with smaller tires to be convenient in a folding form factor, etc. And then you're got things like e-scooters which will launch a person at the mere thought of uneven pavement. I don't understand how people will ride those things and then call a motorcycle dangerous.
This the right answer. The problem could not be the inability of technology to capture nuance in written communication. The problem is with you and you need to seek therapy and get help.
Isn't that basically scalper prices?
For tilling to kill weeds, there actually is one that does that, Farmwise[0].

The challenge with Agtech robots in general is that you need to be able to prove payback, including all operations costs, in ideally 12 months or less on equipment.

This is very hard for most crops because you have to be constantly moving from field to field. However, it is doable and I see it happening soon, starting in specific crops (My company L5 [1] is working this for strawberries).

However, as the price of raw tech inputs (robot arms, compute, cameras) continue to fall, I do see lots of “low hanging fruit” that can be won relatively soon, especially with smart software.

One Wheel in traffic isn't too bad. As long as you stick to lower speed (25 mph) roads. It's actually nice because it's super easy to go slow on a One Wheel if you have to hop on the sidewalk (bike lanes don't always work). I could pretty easily go 3mph on a One Wheel, much easier then I could on a bike.
As (43) states, introversion is on a scale (a matter of degree) rather than a type (i.e. not like char vs. float). That it is persistent in a probabilistic sense is well established.
Why does it have to be net zero? That would certainly get you to breakeven in less miles but it is by no means a requirement for an EV having a carbon advantage over an ICE.
Good day! I spent around 4 years working as a brand manager and marketing associate for the agency itself at two different IT agencies. Prior to that, I performed a variety of tasks for clients while working at marketing firms. As a content strategist working in B2B SaaS, my primary focus is on material for the top of the funnel. Here is a detailed guide about b2b SaaS (https://www.thenewsinsides.com/blog/what-is-b2b-saas/)

I understand that you were seeking more specific guidance on the topics you should be discussing, but I was curious if you would be open to focusing on one aspect of marketing and making it your area of expertise. I had roles at tech agencies, but they were demanding because I was a lone army trying to boil an ocean.
It's quite possible to get line coverage to 100%. It doesn't really mean anything because it might be covering those lines getting executed in one very particular order - and all bets are off if that order is different.
I'm glad the meds have helped you, and I hope other people try them too if they think they need help.
Nice. Now do Sequoia.
Accuracy vs speed.

Yes we can deep into the weeds on how to best estimate a task.. or we can ask "How many man-hours is this going to take roughly?" and you give a number and then WE DO THE THING.

The argument about "man-hours" is bikeshedding.

Language is to be heard and understood. It carries both it's technical meaning and it's subjective meaning. If you're arguing, as the article argues, that words that are subjective have to be removed then you are left without any language at all.
> My reason was that I had realized that a lot of my old ADHD symptoms were actually still happening. I was still procrastinating, still getting stressed when forced to focus on stuff I don't care about, still forgetting stuff.

Anecdotally, I've watched a lot of friends and colleagues go through this exact cycle: Going on meds and then just focusing more intensely on their distractions. I really think we're doing a disservice to all the people who get a prescription and get sent out the door without a more involved framework for how to use the meds as part of their ADHD treatment strategy rather than a presumed cure in a pill.

Reminds me of the misguided pepper spray law that was relaxed a decade ago, but Amazon still won't ship completely legal pepper spray to Wisconsin and a bunch of sites still claim it has draconian regulations.
He didn't found Amazon in high school. Instead, alongside working at McDonalds, he also graduated valedictorian, a National Merit Scholar, and so on. He then graduated from Princeton (almost certainly on a full ride scholarship), and again graduated near the top of his class (a member of both Phi Kappa Beta and Tau Beta Pi) with degrees in both electrical engineering and computer science. From there he worked for 8 more years until he set upon founding Amazon.

It's considered bad form to lean weight onto the front. You should have most of the weight on your back leg and push down with your front foot to accelerate. At least among the people I road with. If most of your weight is leaned backwards it's easier to just fall flat to the ground if you need to stop. Had the front of my board clipped by a car turning into a parking lot and this saved me.
> IBM’s Boca Raton group understood the momentum behind CP/M as an open standard, and so they commissioned Digital Research to develop a version, called CP/M-86. Later in the process, however, Microsoft came through with the MS-DOS operating system, about which much has already been written.

As I understand it, 86-DOS/SDOS was basically an x86 clone of CP/M, and CP/M-80 source programs can even be automatically translated and then reassembled to run on DOS[1] or CP/M-86[2].

If you look at tools in general as something that's intended to help other people solve some problem - and derive some enjoyment from that aspect of your job as a tool writer - tooling that operates "at scale" usually also helps more people.
You are correct - this is terrible advice.

The main issue is that the word "significance" is overloaded with two meanings in research & stats:

"Large and important" (e.g. "clinical significance", often given as an effect size, or some benefit/cost tradeoff)

"P value below alpha" (e.g "statistical significance", Probabilty of rejecting H0, which is roughly equivalent to "if the true effect size were zero, what's the chance I could see this effect size in my data given random fluctuactions [and a bunch of other assumptions]"
Now that would be like thinking USD can never fail.

> one month in is way too early to know if the change is long-term positive. This is especially true with stimulant medications.

Agree. It's important to remind people that the effects of the first few weeks aren't like the effects for the next 10-50 years.

It's especially concerning when people say the meds give them "more energy to do things" because that's more of a side effect that goes away after a while. The focus-enhancing effect is separate from the energizing/euphoric side effect that people experience in the first few weeks.

I knew day one. Three years have continuously confirmed what I knew day one. I wish I hadn’t been so afraid of meds that would help me.
I can't say I know the full picture, but usually to get the severance package you have to sign away some legal rights and/or sign a non-disparagement.

"causing trust issues and fear of government to be deeply ingrained."

Is that actually a harm, given the evidence?
We at the same time lament the fact that the primarily utility of most of our schools are subsidized governmental childcare and also praise the progress of society having liberated the women to be free to pursue the same endeavors as the men.

Perhaps future societies will go back to the drawing board and recognize communal, multi-generational living, where one was tightly integrated with some form of community provides everyone the greatest benefit and happiness, not being dual income wage slaves who leave mostly strangers and the state to raise their children.
By "the Uber of..." do you mean "overhyped with a money-burning business model, that will never be reliably profitable"? Or did you have some other meaning in mind?

Yep. Everything is offline-first stored right on your device. Syncing works mostly well but there a few rough edges which we are sorting out.

How did you develop these tests?
This was my thought exactly. Scrolling through this post seems like I'm on Reddit. It was a paper from Nature so worthy of conversation, but the one-liners are unnecessary and don't add anything of substance to the dialog.
I'm sorry, but that's utter nonsense: fMRI is a perfectly legit technique (and it's not exactly interchangeable with PET).

It is certainly true that there have been dubious and over-interpreted fMRI studies. As a technique, fMRI sits at a really awkward nexus where it is easy to do something but much harder to it well. Nevertheless, it can be done well. It just involves thinking hard about a lot of thorny problems, ranging from the signal itself (fMRI measures blood oxygenation, which is linked--indirectly--to neural activity), how it's measured, and how to analyze large volumes of data with unusual spatial and temporal correlation structures, plus the substantive research question on top!

The only people who systematically look down on fMRI are insecure first year grad students who think their work is more "science-y" because it involves lasers or whatever rather than asking people about feelings. I guarantee you that many other fields (cough single-cell seq cough) have similar statistical problems; it's just fMRI hit them first and hit them hard: salmon-like mistakes are rare these days.

As for PET, the ability to track things other than blood oxygenation is awesome, but the resolution is much worse and the radioactivity also limits its use. There is no magic tool; it's combinations that let us understand stuff.

From my understanding, your website doesn’t actually run the user code to see if it fixes the bug. Doesn’t that mean the user also has to guess how you fixed the bug?
> Does notesnook offer anything like that?

No, and the main deterrent for this is our commitment to keeping everything E2E and client-side. Something like Tessaract or Paddle might work for OCR but I haven't looked too deeply into it.

> The insanity of the usermode packagers is that they're not popular enough to be easy to hire for (probably excepting Homebrew, though I've never seen it on Linux). I can grab a random resume from a stack and be almost positive that they know how to install and upgrade software with apt/yum.

True and very unfortunate. Hopefully this changes as (tools like) Nix and Guix continue to grow and develop! They're really well-suited to this.

> I would bet the percentage of candidates who can compile Postgres and use outweigh the number that can install and use Postgres from Nix.

I think installing and using Postgres from Nix is definitely easier, although sure, fewer devs might already know that they can easily do it.

> I'm not saying it's perfect, but I'll take it over being forced to use Windows or Mac natively. At least it's familiar, even if it is slow.

Yeah, I think we're agreed. I'm just feeling especially frustrated with the setup lately.

> Most of the pragmatic issues recur inside the VM, but a lot of organizationally imposed ones go away. I'm not saying it's logical, but I've yet to win an argument with compliance.

That's true. I hope it stays that way.
According to the Energy Dept site listed upthread, even in WV with 92% coal generation an EV emits half the CO2 per mile as an ICE.

You really have to consider all the variables, ie grid carbon intensity, miles driven and car manufacturing. People seem to get focused on one of the variables in the carbon lifecycle.

I'm well aware that it's far from the only thing that'll kill me on a farm.

That said, comparing a 50Kv shock to a handheld taser (which typically run at 300-500v) makes me think I might not be the one who misunderstands the risks.
Would very much like to see this kind of tech miniaturized for the use in homesteading. Would be nice to have autonomous cultivation at home. Would make having a lawn useful again.
When a system misbehaves consistently, you stop attempting to force the system to behave and instead sit back and examine why it is misbehaving. If your wheel doesn't like to roll downhill and keeps veering off to the side, no matter how even the wheel is.. sometimes it's the hill.

One of the Montessori practices I'm a big fan of is observation. Quiet almost secret observation of the child. Ideally the child isn't aware you're there and you merely observe them act freely (in a safe environment for the child).
Something like dimensional analysis?

That one drives me nuts. A while back I changed some code that had a bool called “uninit” that when true, meant the value was initialized.
The reason was actually marketing and he was the first to admit it. During the invite only Chicago money trade show he explicitly said he spending all his money on brand awareness and marketing, basketball teams, stadiums, TV ads, the sponsorships were relentless and shaped public opinion that he was trustworthy. He' main spokesperson (and investor) was pretty much the most trusted athlete in the last decade. He knows how to build trust through marketing and politics.
If it works for you fine, but most of us just find another job and then resign. Few situations are intolerable for a few more months, although Twitter seems to qualify right now. As you said, you have a simpler financial situation that enables more flexibility, good for you!
My guess is that the mother was removed from the child not as a punishment to her, but in order to ensure the safety of the child. In other words, deterrence rather than retributive justice. FWIW, I do agree that this is a huge overreach on the part of the police and that "situational awareness, perspective, nuance and understanding are completely missing."
As someone else said upthread, the character of the owner matters a great deal.
You realize nobody like that would ever publicly say anything bad about Elon, right? It's all driven by incentives. Just like would publicly say anything bad about FTX's SBF because they need to stay on his good side. Statements like that from people who have a horse in the race are totally meaningless.

I'm latching onto a non-main argument to be pedantic, but I'd like to mention that Rust is fine for _non-embedded_ kernel development too, in my experience.

As you're likely aware, Rust for embedded sucks when there's no HAL, but should be pretty pleasant otherwise. Have you looked into the cortex-a[1] crate?

Some unnecessary instructions could also be a part of an ongoing optimization effort[2][3].

I, for one, would agree.

IMHO, DRY is only useful when the underlying problem structure has a fundamental overlap with an existing problem. Incidental overlaps should be kept separate.
That's where the premature abstraction problem comes from. Often in times of changing requirements, you can't predict where things will lead to.

I suspect it's something to do with how OOP is taught. Universities start with abstract concepts and apriori principles (eg. encapsulation, polymorphism, etc.). So juniors fresh out of school tend to feel compelled to make up abstractions to be a "good citizen" so to speak.

OTOH I actually started by encountering issues with duplicate code and repeated patterns (which was a problem mainly because I had to copy and paste and retype too much code), and only afterwards I learned about how OOP techniques could help solve these problems. For me personally they were just practical tools to solve practical problems, instead of a moral imperative. I happily write very specific code to do specific things instead of pretending there's some apriori abstraction waiting to be discovered.

IMHO there's a humility in admitting that there's more than one way to look at (i.e. perceive in abstract manner) things.
Although not using the same buzzwords, we had the same architecture deep into the 1980s in Inmos/Transputer/Occam-land.

It doesn’t sound like burnout to me. It sounds more like organizational issues that have left the author with a very limited amount of time to work on a sluggish product they can’t take pride in. The name brand and pay sometimes just don’t make up for that especially for some people.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to take pride in your work and to have working conditions that facilitate that. Get enough people together who feel that way and can find something useful to build and you get a huge competitive advantage. Software that is useful and performant is like gold but takes a lot of extra effort and passion to keep it that way.

You’re right about the “fun” part though. Making great software (and art) is hard work! “Satisfying” is probably a better metric to shoot for.
I love the description of an observer, I think that’s apt! “not engaged with himself” resonates for me.

I do think my parents must have been checked out for a spell there - overworked and under payed. As kids you don’t necessarily notice but looking back I’ll bet that was the case.
It is too easy to nosedive on these things at speed and go superman. Either a balance mistake or hardware failure. There are tons of videos of people nosediving.

Meson is great! It's the best way to build software using the only true way, the way the Meson developer likes. If you like to build software the way the Meson developer prefers (which is the one and only way to build software), Meson is the best build tool.

If you like having a say in how you actually build your own fucking software you can always use a more primitive and obsolete tool like CMake.
The code you submit is compiled, linked, and executed against a suite of tests.

That is a completely ridiculous solution to a very simple problem. How do we give bargaining power to developers? We break up the app store monopolies. That's it.

Google/Apple giving you shit? Give them the finger and put your app on another store. There's no stronger bargaining chip than the free market.
I’ve never experienced more energy to do things nor euphoria from my stimulant meds. They make me less anxious and allow me to muster executive function that I struggle with otherwise. Not because I’m more focused or productive or whatever else people ascribe to the drug, because I’m less overwhelmed by the world that’s loud and fast and bright and complicated and dangerous. My brain and the world around me are quieter and more reasonable.
