Many tech companies are both unprofitable and contribute near 0 value to society. Not unique to crypto. Be careful what you wish for, or the only people left paying software engineers might be non technical companies who pay $80k a year.
Thirded, and I want to expand on your point about "picking the wrong path". For a lot of decisions (especially low-stakes ones) you don't even have to go down the path. Just having taken a decision, arbitrary as it is, gives you information.

Simple example, happens often: my partner and I want to go out to eat, but can't make up our minds where. Take the top two choices and flip a coin. Then just see how you each feel about that decision the coin made. Often it reveals a stronger preference than anyone was aware of. In that case, disregard the coin's choice. And if it doesn't, then just follow the coin's choice, since you're not losing anything by it.
> because there are many car models that are significantly cheaper than Teslas.

The problem is that you are anchoring your argument on the price of the Tesla.

A company that wanted to bring, e.g, an all-electric version of the Honda Fit/Fiat 500/Peugeot 100/Renault Twingo/etc wouldn't be competing with Teslas, they would be competing against the ICE version of a compact/economic car.

Price-sensitive people are never going to buy a $18-25k electric car, if the ICE equivalent version costs half of that. "Oh, but it's cheaper than a Tesla" is not relevant.

Does this actually even matter today when every click or key-press triggers dozens of fat network request going around the globe on top of a maximally inefficient protocol?

Or to summarize what we see here: We've build layers of madness. Now we have just to deal with the fallout…

The result is in no way surprising given we haven't refactored our systems for over 50 years and just put new things on top.
I buy it. Fourth gen is very old. We've been putting lipstick on this pig for a while (updated bombs, missiles, radars etc). Procurement is a mess and corrupt. Unfortunately, these sorts of things are at the top end of production chains, so it's tough to disrupt.

It takes too long, and too much money to replace and upgrade fighters and weapons. It's not a technical problem, but a political one.
The implied relation between nodes seems to be "is related to" or "is associated with" - the same kind of babble you see in PubMed research where authors don't want to go out on limbs and make causal claims.

I would argue that a rich knowledge tool should spend a lot of time teasing out the nature of those relationships.

Having said that, this class of visual tool is going to see a lively future.

That's a soundbite that people like Brian Armstrong use, because it's shifting the blame onto The Enemy (the traditional finance system) but it's a hard sell. People engage with cryptocurrency because it offers the sort of unbounded financial opportunities only available when there's no regulation: there is already regulation that applies to all financial companies, the reason FTX primarily operated outside of the US was because of that regulation. Had there been "regulatory clarity" that further reiterated that what FTX was doing outside of the US isn't acceptable inside of the US, FTX would have remained outside of the US and continued to do the unregulated things.

Anybody who wanted to use an exchange that complies with regulations could just use Coinbase. There's a reason people don't.

My point is that, as Chancellor of a government which accepts Brexit as a done deal, it is interesting for him to do anything other than shower Brexit with praise. Criticism from within the ranks of the Tory government is significant and a sign of shifting tides. This is the sense in which he 'conceded'. Until recently this was omerta.

As I say, believe what you want, I genuinely want to be wrong as I feel ever-growing despair at what has happened to my country, not least under recent Tory governments. We are a country in decline. I'm now pretty certain of it.

Two long-form examples for programs I don't see here yet.

Hmmm... Only read two, "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" and "Norwegian Wood". The first was, I thought, overly dark, disturbing. The latter maybe a bit too twee? Very different from one another for sure.

Others no doubt will disagree, but I am not sure I would recommend either. To be sure though, "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" had the biggest impact on me, is a wild and strange book. As an example, without giving too much away, the protagonist seems to have an unhealthy obsession with climbing down to the bottom of very deep wells (pits) and just hanging out.

I concur. Also part of establishing trust is moving away from all the ticking time-bomb centralized intermediaries from Mt.Gox to FTX and everything in between, etc. Either figure out ways of accomplishing everything decentralized and on-chain, or accept the impossibility as a natural constraint of the tech and learn to do without.

The issue with aviation should not be framed by its share in total carbon emissions, which appears to be not that much. It's the fact that, in a world where the individual target of CO2 emissions is 2T, there is no room for aviation. Same thing for eating meat more than once a week, or using a personal car.

Well, certainly not the same salmon.

For 20-somethimg years I've been following this search for Open Source funding. It's kinda like the holy grail, or perhaps more like an attempt at an unholy alliance.

On the one hand you have a primarily communistic enterprise (in the sense that it is developed in community, for community.)

On the other hand it is developed by individuals who answer to no-one, and live in a capitalistic society.

Politically speaking, this sort of public-good is typically govt funded. Like a road or bridge. But that implies govt control - they decide who gets built, by whom, and where and what.

Whereas developers decide what to build, what to add, when, how, and so on.

So on the one hand you have a zillion free agents, just making up whatever they like. (do we _really_ need another text editor, or JavaScript color picker?)

On the other hand we want centralised funding for "open source". In which case who decides which projects are winners and which are losers?

No, no, we should limit funding to individuals and individual projects. If only every Linux user who give $10 a year to the Linux foundation. And $10 to OpenSSL and $10 each to a hundred other projects... Except this model simply doesn't work.

Oh wait, corporations - they have plenty of money. We don't need individuals, we need companies to pony up. How about say 1% if annual profits. But how to share the pot? If I release a fork of jQuery can I get a share?

So we have altruistic developers, most of whom are making complete crap [1], wanting the market to figure out the winners and losers based on quality, and somehow the cream will rise. But the "market" pays nothing, except what ever they want to whoever the want?

I'm slowly losing hope that these two systems can be reconciled. They seem, idealogically, to repel each other.

The very freedoms baked into Open Source and Free Software seem to preclude all efforts to keep software both Open, and profitable.

It can be particularly bad when there is a plastic barrier of some sort in front of the masked speaker.

Even today, this is still pretty common at cashiers and checkouts in Canada, for example.

Many of these barriers were put up rapidly without much thought, and are completely improvised. They aren't like the purpose-build security shields that still have holes, vents, or microphones/speakers to allow at least some verbal communication to take place.

The thick, rigid plastic barriers are the worst offenders, by far, although even flexible plastic sheets can definitely disrupt communication, too.
My understanding of how it works is, with constant value, the compiler replaces (x) with the constant 0 and converts
(void *) into (int *) which makes the size equality to return true. But I am not entire sure :)
There's another thread below that mentions a bunch of the same things you and I just did. Good knowledge and confirmation!

And agreed, masks have shown (what has been said plenty in the past), there's still a ton of readable emotion just around the eyes. Distracting, though!

Relating to the growing into needing/wearing them: I've worn mine since age 3 (and gone from analog to digital, with some tradeoffs of each), they're a constant, but I also have suspicions of my listening comprehension getting worse-over-time. But it could also just as well be increasing self-reflection/awareness + new experiences. (Just this month, mid 30s, first time visiting Germany, after 6ish years of German classes in middle/high school + college; confronted some real hearing limitations trying to listen to natives!)

You're not morbid. In the case here, let's just note that many famous people haved died as a result of aortic dissection (immediately or not). It's worth knowing how common it is so it can be avoided or detected. Keeping your blood pressure under control helps reduce its incidence, for example.

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.0...

"Ideal blood pressure targets to reduce risk of aortic dissection may be even lower than the threshold of hypertension."

Yeah, I think the decision was made that way because they wanted to try to catch up to CUDA but probably didn't really have good tie in with the driver team to put ROCm there. IIRC for a while you used to also have to install a custom driver to use ROCm, although at least that hasn't been necessary for some time.

With ROCm on 5000 series they promised status updates several times which never came and the eventual unofficial support came after 6000 series was out. Then with the Rx580 support, they claimed that while it was unsupported it should still work and several of their developers claimed to be looking into the matter. I recall other similar incidents regarding their other smaller projects under GPUOpen.

So overall it always seemed like they weren't really communicating properly internally, thus all of their projects seem somewhat disconnected from each other, leading to odd decisions like this one.

if we are heading into a recession, then a public sector spending spree is exactly what we do need.

Households won't spend, private sector won't invest as households are not spending, so if the public sector also stops spending then you go into a much longer and deeper recession.

Money itself for a government with a central bank is just a unit of account. There can't not be enough of it. It's just a way to measure resource distribution.

Wealth on the other hand. There's plenty of that in the UK, but it's increasingly in the hands of a few.

40 years of financilising public services and nearly every aspect of our lives means that household and public spending eventually ends up being concentrated even more in the hands of a few.
That's the actual issue with public spending into such an economy, that without an effective tax system (which we don't have), then it makes inequality worse.

Both Tory and Labour are pushing a false narrative, because ultimately they represent those who are doing pretty well out of this deal.
I guess you can waste any amount of time with "a few" layers of strictly unnecessary indirection.

Speaking of games: I had just the other day the realization that we should look into software design around games if we want proper architectures for GUI applications.

What we do today instead are "layers of madness". At least I would call it like this.

About that essay decision support thing: I'd say that particular choice is a pretty valid input for (i.e. against) your decision.
I have never scammed anyone. Just as there are scams in traditional finance (see Wolf of Wall Street, Nikola, Enron) there are scams in crypto. At this point far more in crypto however.

I think people need to know that no one is going to help them - caveat emptor. If the goal of crypto is to rebuild finance, eliminating taxpayer funded bailouts is a top priority.

Cryptocurrency is a solution desperately looking for a problem.

The white paper was written 13 years ago. What actual problems does it legally solve?

Store of value? Not so successful. Inflation hedge? Nope. Micropayments? Nobody wants them - any traditional financial company could implement it instantly. If people wanted it.

So we are left with the few things that cryptocurrency has actually been good at: tax avoidance, illicit transactions and ransomware.

Cryptocurrency has been a scourge and has no redeeming quantities.

ETH mining did pay for a computer I bought a few times over though so I guess thanks for that.

> It's happening all over the western world.

It's not really happening in the US. The US economy remains strong and may not even go into a significant recession in the next year.

The US dollar remains the world reserve currency and allows unparalleled monetary and fiscal policy freedom. No-one is losing confidence in the dollar the same way they did in the pound.

Inflation is coming down in the US and it's in a fantastic place in terms of energy and food security.

The decline of "the West" you refer to is really the decline of Europe.
> If you want reading macros, for example, you make your own Read. Better Read could even be in standard package "Additional-macros-for-common-lisp".

It makes little sense to reimplement (and maintain over time) the whole Read if you only care about changing some small aspect of it. Instead, you can consider standard Read mechanism from CL to be extensible - reader macros are plugins/hooks/customization points/whatever you want to call it. You can maintain 1:1 Read/Print compatibility easily by defining/overriding a matching printer method, which is the Print side plugin/hook/customization point/whatever.

The only thing that could be simpler than this would be some magic that lets you automatically derive a read macro and a printing method from a simple declaration, but for that you'd have to sacrifice Turing completeness.

In my experience, reader macros are just freaking people out for unconscious and irrational reasons. I can tell because they still freak me out a little, even though I'm conceptually fine with them.
They do have pages listing client[1] and server[2] support. (Behind the “Support” button in the navigation bar, which is perfectly logical, but I needed a couple of seconds to overcome my conditioning and convince myself this may really be the kind of “support” they are talking about.)

The per-unit cost of the F-22 was substantially more than the F-35, yet the F-35 is everybody's favorite whipping boy while the F-22 gets nothing but praise from the same crowd. And I think there is a general awareness of F-22 production ending due to expense, so it's not as though the F-22 is wrongly perceived as being cheap.

I think the discrepancy in public perception comes down to physical appearances. The F-22 looks lean and mean, while the F-35 looks lumpy and frumpy. Physical appearance is the way most laymen judge jets. Ugly jets which are nevertheless popular have some other dramatic attribute which which offsets their appearance, like the A-10's autocannon.
