This claim keeps being made, but Musk’s aircraft is fully visible in the FAA registry data and doesn’t have an obfuscated ICAO hex code. It wasn’t part of the PIA programme, which is also not something endorsed by the ICAO but only used by the FAA within US borders. When flying abroad an aircraft must use its static ICAO address.

Even if it was there’s still nothing wrong with tracking the aircraft and nothing illegal about people matching the rolling ICAO hex codes to the real aircraft.

It frustrates me that we’ve allowed Musk to completely redefine the conversation around something that was already settled and accepted:

1. Flight tracking data, collected from ADS-B, is legal and publicly available. Aircraft ownership data is public too.

2. Nobody has a right to keeping their aircraft movements private, and aircraft movements != personal movements.

3. After much lobbying the FAA introduced LADD & PIA, but they say outright that it’s not a guarantee of confidentiality and just makes it slightly harder to track an aircraft.

4. PIA temporary ICAO codes can only be rotated every 60 days (going down to 20) and it’s pitifully easy for any aircraft spotter, as have hung around airports for decades, to match a new one to an aircraft registration.

Stay behind, it makes no difference to anyone but yourself. As for me, I have integrated ChatGPT into my daily work.

So it sounds like they're actively doing this outside of Twitter or social media in general.

IANAL, but here's a Georgetown Law info sheet about how that works, and cites several federal law statues that are applicable:

> I live in a country where having guns is naughty

I'm guessing Australia and if so I'd amend that to mention that you're living in country where guns are regulated and licenced, where 12 year olds can join a pistol club, where a firing system capable of 1 million rounds per minute was invented [1], and where my next neighbour shoots 24x24 inch targets at 5,000 yards (five thousand yards) [2].

Guns don't shoot people, naughty people shoot people (and thus should be treated as drunk drivers are treated and prevented from operating a gun or a vehicle).

The report doesn't even mention price. That is a whole other level of analysis. The fact is, the known global reserves of several minerals (not just lithium) needed for a primarily wind/solar grid are insufficient for today's battery tech. We need a new plan. Underground hydrogen storage looks more promising than batteries, but again we don't have anything scalable ready to go today in terms of cheap energy storage.

Your assumption appears to be that gay teens are not already on the existing adult Grindr, lying about their age, and being forced to wade their way through some of the darkest, seediest corners of the Internet.

I don’t know much about his proposed solution, I haven’t read his work, but judging by my own teenage use of Grindr (many years ago), a toned down, protected version of something gay teens were already going to use seems like a net gain for their safety and sanity.

I doubt anything like it would ever be legally possible, though. There’s just no amount of moderating that would keep a teen Grindr safe and PG-13. If even one thing slips through - and it would - it’s not hard to picture the media coverage. No sane company is touching this idea with a ten foot pole.

Facebook leans into making everyone feel like their opinions matters: "Nothing at Facebook is someone else's problem". But not everyone can be right, so of course you end up with people being ignored and feeling shirty.

At other companies I've worked at the norm is that the rank and file feel powerless, and it doesn't even occur to them to offer their opinion.

Ill keep saying this, I dont understand net metering or flat rates for solar electricity. I live in the EU, our electricity prices have gone up 1000% and solar gets what you surely wonder? Well, they get whatever the price is at the _moment they sell_ their electricity!

Sure, this system does not really handle overloaded local grids and grid upgrades, but we pay through the nose for general grid access anyway. Paying the right price for every kWh just feels natural. It also automagically makes people take more or less correct decisions on batteries and when to produce.

Read Carmack's full memo:

This is the end of my decade in VR. I have mixed feelings.

Quest 2 is almost exactly what I wanted to see from the beginning – mobile hardware, inside out tracking, optional PC streaming, 4k (ish) screen, cost effective. Despite all the complaints I have about our software, millions of people are still getting value out of it. We have a good product. It is successful, and successful products make the world a better place. It all could have happened a bit faster and been going better if different decisions had been made, but we built something pretty close to The Right Thing.

The issue is our efficiency.

Some will ask why I care how the progress is happening, as long as it is happening?

If I am trying to sway others, I would say that an org that has only known inefficiency is ill prepared for the inevitable competition and/or belt tightening, but really, it is the more personal pain of seeing a 5% GPU utilization number in production. I am offended by it.

[edit: I was being overly poetic here, as several people have missed the intention. As a systems optimization person, I care deeply about efficiency. When you work hard at optimization for most of your life, seeing something that is grossly inefficient hurts your soul. I was likening observing our organization's performance to seeing a tragically low number on a profiling tool.]

We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort. There is no way to sugar coat this; I think out organization is operating at half the effectiveness that would make me happy. Some may scoff and contend we are doing just fine, but others will laugh and say "Half? Ha! I'm at quarter efficiency!"

It has been a struggle for me. I have a voice at the highest levels here, so it feels like I should be able to move things, but I'm evidently ot persuasive enough. A good Fraction of the things I complain about eventually turn my way after a year or two passes and evidence piles up, but I have never been able to kill stupid things before they cause damage, or set a direction and have a team actually stick to it. I think my influence at the margins has been positive, but it has never been a prime mover.

This was admittedly self-inflicted – I could have moved to Menlo Park after the Oculus acquisition and tried to wage battles with generations of leadership, but I was busy programming, and I assumed I would hate it, be bad at it, and probably lose anyway.

Enough complaining. I wearied of the fight and have my own startup to run, but the fight is still winnable! VR can bring value to most of the people in the world, and no company is better positioned to do it than Meta. Maybe it is actually possible to get there by just plowing ahead with current practices, but there is plenty of room for improvement.

Make better decisions and fill your products with "Give a Damn!"
>hurt the future prospects of your country

Reality demonstrates otherwise. Slapping speculative billionaries and tax evading actors is a great way to improve prospects of country. Deng: let some people get rich. Many did, excessively so. Under Hu, his policies ran it's course, the next step was always to reign the extravagantly rich in. Breaking softwares hold on monopolizing talent to shave seconds of food delivery and tech workforce has now been reoriented towards strategic hardware, sectors that's seen huge growth in employment and wages post soft tech crackdown. Capital controls slowed enormous capital flight, while PRC has been consistently moving up value chain (even during zero covid), with waves of sea turtles abroad flooding back, including record amount from academia now that PRC is flush with resources and opportunities. There's reason US (and TW) literally has to sanction their workforce from working in Chinese semi, while hammering their industrial policies. Meanwhile PRC kids being sent abroad are mostly those too dumb to make it in Gaokao, this isn't the 70-00s where state was sending out top talent to learn abroad, now PRC is not sending their best anymore. See how PRC rapidly climbing science and innovation indexes (controlled for quality) in last few years. All of which doesn't factoring in the fundemental human capita math that PRC is now generating so much high skilled talent (~OECD combined) paired with mature industrial base, that brain drain no longer meaningfully impedes her rise. And last I checked PRC is still generating plenty of media and winning tons of the medals in the last few olympics. Believe it or not, most Chinese are fine pursuing the dream of being an apolitical millionaire with an escape plan abroad just incase their kids are too dumb to compete in pressure cooker PRC society.
I think the main tangible risk is if you have an autoimmune disorder such as HIV.

Seems like the reason for not treating in general is that human guts are already infested with all sorts of relatively harmless bacteria (and protozoa, etc.). And the drugs to treat toxoplasmosis, which are certain antimalarials and antibiotics, carry some risk. A big risk is that, if you nuke your gut biome with 1-3 antibiotics for everything you get infected with, and they develop resistance which spreads horizontally, it could prevent antibiotics from saving your life when you're infected with something serious.

That being said, if there's a link established between t. gandii infection and suicidality, I'd speculate you'll see lots of pressure from the public health folks for treating all infections.

This is not medical advice and I am not a doctor. I have time to sit in an armchair and argue about toxoplasmosis on a Friday night. Please take that into account.

If you're a materialist, you already believe they don't because matter in the materialist conception is incompatible with qualia, by definition.

Would you be able to comment on how you switched to consulting?

I (mid 30s) am at the FAANG point where I optimized for compensation, but the stress of constantly having to make an impact and being subject to pressure from upper management and senior peers without being able to do much about it (“that’s why we pay you so much”) is becoming seriously damaging for my mental health.

I saved enough that I could afford the luxury of starting to optimize for work-life balance. I basically would like a job where I can do my 40 hours, be moderately engaged and keep up with new tech without excessive stress caused by large/ambiguous deliverables, and then enjoy my life outside work.

I was potentially even thinking about moving to a different career from SWE, e.g. developer advocate, solution architect, … but maybe consulting is an answer.

> F# and OCaml are much more practical than Haskell

For industrial applications in most deployment environments Haskell is a much more practical language than OCaml, due to having many more modern runtime features (green threads, STM, etc., that for many years have made the lack of multicore support in OCaml seem embarrassing). It's not really that that gap has been caught up to now either, OCaml is still many years behind Haskell in basic runtime features.

F# obviously has a practically useful and featureful runtime, but has a scheduler that makes it easy to get thread exhaustion, whereas Haskell has a preemptive one that will make that a non-issue.

I find that the "practical language" argument is usually used by people who have never used either OCaml or Haskell for solving real world problems. In practice OCaml is a did-not-finish versus the comparatively (to most other languages, notably losing to the BEAM languages) excellent finishing time of Haskell.

Well, the stall he sets out is about 'generative models' generally:

"In the future, what role will these generative models play in assisting a programmer or mathematician?"

I think the fact that we've other generative models that eg. can write descriptive variable names is a fair rebuttal to his criticism of alphacodes poor variable names.

Deepmind fine tuned it on competition code, not on well documented production code, so I think it's shallow to get hung up on it's lack of good variable names (for example).
That's why I wrote it was definitely groundbreaking (at least as far as I know). As far as an timeless piece of great literature, it definitely isn't. It's just a generic gangster/underworld story with forgettable characters.
