> Everyone feels safer in their big SUV. In reality it's just an arms race, and we're all losing.

I'm not sure, absent secondary effects, wearing a helmet makes cycling more dangerous for other cyclists the way that driving a big SUV, absent secondary effects makes it more dangerous for other drivers. It's not like the extra mass from helmets means you'll do more damage when you smash in to other cyclists.

It's certainly doable but it's not going to be cheap at all. That's at 1300 amp service of 480v 3-phase just for charging plus the chargers to handle that ~100KW of load per truck, to provide that power you're likely going to have the external charger setup instead of just one on the truck itself and those aren't cheap.

I'm sorry to say that you are incorrect. There is not a specific number of itemized money units that define a fixed money supply. In fact, not even stock certificates work that way!

It's all elastic, and central banks have sophisticated mechanisms to tighten or loosen that elastic band. The entire financial industry exists to think of novel ways to create leverage, stitching together assets and promises into towering edifices of economic power... all founded on the idea/hope/prayer that nobody will call in all the bets at once.

Honestly, you might not want to look behind the curtain on this one. It's one of those existential risks you can't effect as a single human. It's a collective suspension of disbelief that allows the modern world to function. If/when the correction happens... it will not be fun to live through.

If you're a glutton for punishment, here's some reading:

"Chapter 2 studies leverage in the nonfinancial private sector before and during the COVID-19 crisis, pointing out that policymakers face a trade-off between boosting growth in the short term by facilitating an easing of financial conditions and containing future downside risks. This trade-off may be amplified by the existing high and rapidly building leverage, increasing downside risks to future growth. " https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/GFSR

GMO difference is not mystical. GMO allows for massive quantities of weed killer to enter our environment with not well understood effects. It has been recently linked to the bee collapse for example.

And that's before considering monocultivar risks which are well understood and the underhanded ways gmos are handled by corporations, which are well documented.
This is a really good question.

1. Scale. When you're self taught you can make decisions that only really impact yourself. Or maybe 3-4 other people for some of the projects. The company that I walked into has two monoliths (front end, and backend), and working in a code base that's 5 gigs files is a lot different. There's so many files. My editor is now slow. There's no way for me to understand the details of the entire codebase. Badly documented internal libraries are all over the place. This isn't what a bootcamp or self made codebase looks like for a beginner normally.

2. Specific practical stuff. I had been coding JS mostly on Linux. I had to learn PHP on Mac OS. I had never used either. And a number of other tools connected to the build process that are internal to this company.

By not dropping you straight into a team you can also control where you landed a bit. People who didn't like UI stuff ended up a deeper backend team, people who prefer ui ended up more towards the front end. Almost everyone in the group I cam with (17 people) had to learn PHP. When you have 16 other people learning the same stuff at the same time, you start to work together and organize into groups. We begin producing our own docs for the project and other helpful things.
This looks to be a completely different case.

I understand theres a limit to your influence as a dev, but I disagree they are powerless. My point is that they are theoretically closing tickets without fully testing the thing they are actually implementing. They are the ones introducing the bugs in the first place. They are also the first ones to actually use the designed systems (e.g. for the pinging issue). Its much faster to just fix it then.
> CRDTs are designed for decentralized systems where there is no single central authority to decide what the final state should be. There is some unavoidable performance and memory overhead with doing this. Since Figma is centralized (our server is the central authority), we can simplify our system by removing this extra overhead and benefit from a faster and leaner implementation

I think this is on point.

I haven't looked at the graphs, but they updated netty to 4.1.85.Final on 2022-11-10.

https://netty.io/news/2022/11/09/4-1-85-Final.html mentions that a potential memory leak was fixed. In includes a debug log warning of the leak; but enabling debug logging may be a no-no.

Perhaps could be worth reverting that and see if there's any change. Sounds cheap and harmless.

That's not what Hans is claiming so it's irrelevant.

Yeah, you only have a ~seven times higher rate of death per mile traveled as compared to a car. It’s just there are significantly more car miles traveled so more car related deaths.

The number one chess player on the planet qualifies as someone who can express an informed, professional opinion that another individual was calmer than he should have been under certain circumstances. Many similarly qualified experts will support that contention. Such experts professing the belief that someone who admits cheating has done so more than they've admitted is similarly not going anywhere.
It's relatively easy to write a prompt that ChatGPT can respond to with something it thinks you want to hear, based on what it's read others write in similar contexts — that's mostly what all these "wow ChatGPT gave me exactly what I wanted it to" posts are learning, mostly indirectly. GPT's moved from regurgitating appropriate texts to prompts, to synthesizing appropriate texts to prompts, but in both cases it's telling you what you want to hear. That's the point.

It's an incredible achievement, technologically. It's also very different from having feelings and emotions.

Or, if ChatGPT can "feel and express emotion" through this manner, does that mean its feelings and emotions are sociopathic in nature? Not in the terms of the disorder, but in simulating feelings and emotions because that helps it complete the task it's been given?

Or! What ChatGPT says after plugging the above question into it:

> No, ChatGPT does not have sociopathic tendencies. It is simply programmed to respond to certain prompts in a way that mimics human emotions and reactions, but it is not actually feeling or experiencing the emotions itself.
The joke goes back to at least 1971 based on it's appearance in a book of Isaac Asimov's favorite jokes, https://old.reddit.com/r/KingkillerChronicle/comments/3uul26.... I'm sure it's much older. My father also told a version of it back in the 80s.

Screws and screwdrivers are at least 500 years old, so this joke could have been mutating around its core punchline through generations for quite a long time before it was first written down.
Realistically, the internet will be completely unreliable in 5 years. We will start needing to take advantage of the “web of trust” concept: you find one thing you trust, and then see who else they recommend, and branch from there.

This will be extremely painful though, and make discoverability impossible for new artists and writers.

All I have to do is skim any privacy policy these days and virtually every cloud service has written theirs in a way that I can pretty much guarantee they're selling my data to someone.

I picked up electrical engineering as a hobby because I want a smart home but there isn't a single IoT device on the market that I can trust won't phone home to sell my data. On the bright side I've found soldering isn't too hard and prototype size batches of PCBs are cheaper than ever.
Non of them deliver equivalence of big cloud providers.

It never specified anything about how licensing would be distributed did it?

He could have, you’re right. But he’s honoring the lifetime license instead. And all you have to do is read his appeal and email him to get the renewal key. And if you decide that’s what you want he will give you your key and you continue to enjoy your lifetime license.

How is this worse than ending mIrc v1 development and requiring a relicense for the next version? I’d argue “life time license is honored” is more honorable than “relicense the same product so I don’t have to honor the original deal.”

Good thing for Hans the lawsuit is about (2) then.

Not really? There may be slight reductions in some injuries as a result of helmet use, but for most cyclists this isn't really what you'd call definitive data. At the end of the day, a few inches of foam isn't going to protect you from a few tonnes of steel.

That said, it's notoriously under-studied. If you look into "best helmet" in terms of safety you'll see a lot of marketing speak and not a lot of science. The way that helmets are tested tend to 1) not be reflective of actual use of the helmet in a conflict scenario and 2) tend to make pretty broad assumptions about the largest danger factor on the roads.

The thing is that you would /think/ that there's a lot of evidence out there for helmet use. The most compelling evidence for helmet use is for drivers in cars / automobiles, and we wouldn't dare mandate that into existence.

Helmet laws always seem to get people ruffled up but at the end of the day the number of bike fatalities is already low, and skewing that in terms of helmet use somewhat misses the point - dedicated and separated bicycle infrastructure will have a vastly larger impact compared to any mandate on using a helmet. It seems like arguing about adding a mandate on helmets is just an easy way for the system to wash its hands of responsibility for not regulating vehicle and street design more thoroughly.

Law enforcement is no different than a daring or pragmatic lawyer or capitalist, what is allowed or tolerated will always be taken advantage of.

"The solution will be to start with Internet assumptions, which means abundance, and choosing Locke and Montesquieu over Hobbes: instead of insisting on top-down control of information, embrace abundance, and entrust individuals to figure it out."

While this sounds good, it depends on a crucial assumption: that there are places on the Internet where people can go to find content that is not generated by an AI, but by some human who has taken the trouble to check it for accuracy before posting it.

Just one problem: what happens when all of the content on the Internet (or at least the vast majority of it) is generated by AI? Then there is no longer any other source of information available to check it against (or if there is, it's so hard to find that it might as well not be there at all).
nope. No way the modern economy could function if you had to lug around pallets of cash all the time. Similar to the reasoning for going off the gold standard.

The problem, of course, is that when the money is just a number on a screen, it's very difficult to ensure that the humans running the database don't magically decide they have a bigger number than they aught to. This is an unsolved problem.
Ah yes, vacnet, which couldn't even reliably ban spin-botters for YEARS. Vacnet is an abysmal failure and should be seen as such. The game is still brimming with cheaters, and you still basically cannot play a game on valve's official servers with high ratings unless you are willing to get matched with a cheater 1 out of 3 times and waste hours on unwinnable games that you get punished for abandoning.
One risk for cyclists from helmet-wearing is torque.

If you fall off and bang your head, the helmet will give you some protection against a head injury (how much protection? Nobody knows, because unlike motorcyle helmets, there are no standards).

But the helmet increases the width of your head, which means that torque from the impact is more likely to injure your neck.
> This is a confident answer, complete with supporting evidence and a citation to Hobbes work, and it is completely wrong.

This is a confident criticism, but the referenced AI response does not cite supporting evidence, it just states (mostly incorrect) conclusions about Hobbes positions; it also has no specific citation to Hobbes work, handwaving at it referencing only the title of a book.
Good eye. I bet you're right about the PR origins of this specific article, and I can see why that would make you skeptical.

For me, however, this idea is old news. People have been investigating this issue for years and the results seem to be generally consistent. I have been reading reports about the link between helmet laws, reduced cycling rates, and reduced overall safety for at least five years now.

I live in Seattle, where the surrounding county passed a mandatory helmet law back in 1993. After decades of experience, this law was seen to do more harm than good, and the Board of Health decided earlier this year to repeal it.
what is the correct answer here?

I now routinely get solicited for donations by point-of-sale devices, and routinely skip them. (I have yet to get a glare or any other reaction from a clerk for doing this.) My rationalization is that I do not trust an unknown random charity to serve their stated purpose with my donation. I didn't even consider that the store could be corrupt, reimbursing themselves for their own donation.

When I skip a random donation I think, hey, I'll just bundle up these little rejections and make a real donation to an organization that I do trust. But I don't keep score. Given the increasing number of these soliciations I may be underpaying this promise.

LastPass is the only password manager that I know of that comes with a Dead Man's Switch. (1) (2)

I like the UX of the other password managers more, but I need one I can share with my lawyer so that when I kick the bucket he can take care of things for me.

And I'm sure there are security implications. But, like giving having a neighbor hold on to a spare keys to your house, it's worth the trade off. You have to trust some people -- there are people who can help if you let them.

Anyway, until others have this functionality, it kinda means I'm stuck on LastPass. And that's OK... it's fine.

It's hard to write software for adults and also keep up with the latest and greatest design choices. (Or even design choices from the last 5-8 years, ha!)
