School buses have pretty common diesel engines similar to what are used in farm tractors. For larger tractors I suspect the engines are more similar to those used in 18-wheeler trucks and are merely scaled up versions of the Cummins, Cat, or Detroit diesel engines. Perhaps the right question to ask isn't about the whole tractor being open spec but the engine as that's likely one thing a start-up tractor maker would have someone else build for them rather than doing it themselves.
Are you kidding me? One of the several times autopilot tried to kill me was when it randomly tried to flat stop on I-80 with a semi driver following me. No way he could have stopped in time if I hadn't disengaged and slammed on the accelerator.

(Absolutely no reason to stop and no weather or afternoon sun for confusion. My best guess is that flaky vision systems thought a semi truck was entering my lane, but I really don't know.)

Regrettably taxes are kind of necessary within our system. I don't think abolishing the IRS is the solution, but I would certainly like to see it dramatically, cut down, and the tax code dramatically simplify. Get rid of all the loopholes and just set a flat tax for each income bracket.

I'm the dev for this, so can shed some light on this! Weather Underground was a pretty out there choice- I guess the kind of people who like putting together weather APIs aren't great at naming things. I considered "Bright Ground", and still have the domain name for it, so maybe it'd be worth spinning up another API endpoint/ branding that uses that and has a more commercial focus, keeping Pirate Weather as the free and open source branding.
No need to rely on a gut feeling: it's in the dictionary. Merriam-Webster defines bullshit as "to talk nonsense to, especially with the intention of deceiving or misleading." So it's not being objectively wrong, it's peddling nonsense. The term has come into popular use even among people who don't swear much, because it's precise and evocative.
Last paragraph in 3 has me worried. Android USB Ethernet is tremendously useful.
I got a copy of 'What if? 2' from my son over the holidays. The first chapter considers the question of what would happen if we filled the solar system out to Jupiter with soup. As you suspected, it does indeed create a black hole. Interestingly, if the soup were tomato, that amount of soup would contain more energy than the sun has put out over its entire lifetime. I imagine ice cream would be quite a bit worse.
Friction is the enemy of productivity. I guarantee that most employees simply decide not to mention ideas for projects that could help the company because of the headache. They will do the minimum needed to keep their jobs.
If it was a bona fide investment and you are without notice of any wrongdoing - no, I’d say you’re not. Presumably your nefarious investor holds some kind of ownership interest that can be sold by their trustees/liquidators to raise funds. If you are able to do so, it seems like a nice thing to try to help source money to help the people caught out, including by assisting in realising any ownership stake, but that’s a choice, not an obligation.

The NYT would do well to have a technical person proofread these articles before publishing them. There are several obvious errors.
Let's say you get paid a 2% management fee (on funds under management) and a 20% incentive fee (levied only on gains).
What keeps you from investing half your clients making bets in one direction, and the other half making bets in the opposite? If you do this, what total fees do you collect? How long can you follow this strategy?
I would call it developer rot. The code hasn't changed - and runs just as well (or badly) as the day it was written. It is the developers who somehow lose the ability (I don't know how - just read the code) to work with that code.
note that this isn’t the same as Duelyst 2, a game which some team has been working on for a while and has been out for a couple months.

AFAIK the original Duelyst team gave the Duelyst 2 team some code (long before open-sourcing), but they added some new features and a lot of polish, most notably reintroducing 2-card draw. But Duelyst 2 is monetized with lootboxes (free to download), and right now pay-to-win as it otherwise takes a ton of grinding to unbox or craft the right epic and legendary cards.

It’s really interesting. They’re monetizing a game which is mostly open-source: if you don’t agree with it you can play an almost-the same game, and it seems like a separate small could make it even closer to the same with a few months of work. But (reading on the r/Duelyst forms), it seems to be working: some people have already spent thousands on the new game.

As much as I hate IAP, I am kind of glad for the Duelyst 2 devs because they did put a lot of effort into fixing up the game. It would be a shame if this small team worked so hard and still accomplished nothing because everything they worked on is already public. But moreover, it goes to shows why so many companies (even "good" ones) implement IAP that lets people spend absurd amounts of money. Because it's ethically dubious, but it works, some people do, and you can argue that the extra $1000 lets you make up for it in more gameplay content. One "compromise" is to put most of the monetization on cosmetics which don't affect gameplay and unnecessary boosts, while keeping the F2P progression system fast and game skill-based. It seems LoR has done this, and Duelyst 2 has originally indicated they were going to do this although they have not, the last patch scaled back some of the F2P grinding and I wouldn't be surprised if they scale it back further after the revenue starts dropping to restore popularity and mitigate criticism (I doubt increasing the monetization after revenue starts dropping will help, so how else to bring it back up...)

And note that open Duelyst has been around for a couple months now (around when Duelyst 2 was released), and Duelyst’s community is niche and the openness has been discussed frequently, so I doubt most people didn’t realize. There’s also https://duelyst.gg which existed much longer than Duelyst 2 and has everything unlocked by default: it’s more similar to open Duelyst, an online version re-engineered from the assets and some of the code before the rest was made available.
>> I am suggesting the LLM will (effectively) call out to a knowledge engine at training time, learn everything the knowledge engine knows, and render it obsolete.

You are suggesting that the LLM would "learn" to apply the rules built into the knowledge engine. I'm not as optimistic as to think that a statistical algorithm that uses random inputs would be reliable at applying deterministic rules. But for the sake of argument, let's assume that you are correct and that we can have an LLM replicate deterministic logic and exact computation, or that we can have it be right 95% of the time. That's basically the extent of human intellect[^1]: statistical processing for most common life situations, and deeper analytical thinking for some rather atypical cases (i.e., analyzing algorithm complexity, trying to demonstrate that the L4 Lagrange point is on the vertex of an equilateral triangle, or applying logic to forecast the stock market next week or how many degrees the global temperature will raise in the next two decades).

Crucially, we are good at having computers check a proof, or simulate a system to ensure correctness, but before LLMs we were the only ones that could create that proof (by using socially learned heuristics to probe the proof space), design the system (by using knowledge passed down by fellow humans and assimilated by our "internal rule engines"), or come up with a definition of correctness (by doing a lot of inner and outer argumentation and possibly obtaining peer consensus). If we get an LLM do that as well, for most practical purposes we would have achieved AGI.

If we are there already (or if we will be, in a few months or years), the world is going to look very different. Not necessarily in an apocalyptic way, but some priorities are going to shift[^2].

[^1]: Admittedly, there is also some biological characteristics that bias our intellectual processes in a certain way, but that's next-level madness and nobody is talking--for now--about giving those to an LLM.

[^2]: If you could have at your beck and call a general intellect engine that could build entire programs and systems for you, what would you have it build?
Well it can be useful. For example I wanted to implement a memory efficient binary search in c the other day. I asked gpt to generate it. Wasnt immediately working, but it gave me a good skeleton and it saved me some good hours of work.
No, he said you need to know how to find them IN YOUR MIND which is simply another way of saying memorizing them.

It’s wrong.

But how do you use that to cause actual harm? Most websites would ban such content, and I doubt ChatGPT could convince many people to become racist. Other user gave an interesting idea: they could use it to trick you into disliking some group by pretending to be members of that group. For example, spreading the most extreme ideas of that group to make the whole group look a lot more extreme than it is.
I specialise in joining teams with problems (inability to ship, reliability issues, performance issues, etc.)

At least thrice I joined teams where all original developers and the manager was long gone. The situation for some reason looked very similar in all cases. The team is complaining about supposedly bad design that is preventing them from getting work done. But the system is also large and complex and they are unable to fix/rewrite it.

Lo and behold, in two out of three cases I found that the original developers actually did pretty good job designing the system but in all cases any one of new developers understands only small part of the design and is unable to contribute changes across the entire system, there is a core of the system that nobody understands even though everybody uses and the team has made changes that are against original ideas of the system quickly creating more problems and exploding complexity.

In all cases developers are only able to comfortably do some kinds of changes to the system that are routinely done (like adding new fields to forms, messages, etc.) that do not change how the system functions. Changing the basic structure of the system is a taboo.

In essence, developers treat "legacy" code as if it was some kind of framework or language runtime -- to be used but never to be studied to have its internals understood. (I will never understand this approach to development)

Making "non-standard" changes (yes, one team used this exact term!) pretty much always ends up with something resembling long archeological expedition with ancient traps, diseases and wild animals.
Why would a intentionally malicious bot refuse to use curse words?
It's interesting how that ties into some of the famous missteps from Japanese video game companies in the past.

Nintendo went overconfidently into the 5th console generation with the cartridge-based Nintendo 64, allowing Sony to step in out of nowhere and eat their lunch since Nintendo alienated developers who obviously wanted the format where they weren't bound to the small storage sizes on cartridges. Including their bread-and-butter partnerships like Capcom with their Mega Man games and Square with the Final Fantasy series, both defecting to make PlayStation games.

Albeit their lunch was eaten by another Japanese company, but Sony made an overconfident hardware misstep themselves a couple generations later after feeling invincible with the success of the PS2, releasing the PS3 which was technically impressive from a hardware standpoint, but difficult to develop for, causing them to alienate developers (see Gabe Newell's famous comments) and lose steam for a lot of that generation.

My system only creates classification and ranking models. I can't picture ever developing a generative model that can write new blog posts, it is much more likely I will pick up one somebody else trained.

By reasonable laws (US) the lack of copyright on a database extends to the trained model.

In the UK I can probably get sued for having a database entry that says I think somebody's blog sucks.

In the EU I guess I am supposed to know if some embezzler got out of jail and wants articles about his crime removed from the news everywhere so he can embezzle again. All I can say is I am glad I am not in the EU.
I find DOMS kicks in after taking a week off from my lifting routine or when I switch the routine altogether. As long as I keep a week between working the muscle group, DOMS isn't a thing.

When I do expect DOMS to kick in, I drop weights to 50% my max sets (usually dropping weight vs reps). This makes me "somewhat sore" the following day but no more than that. I also put an emphasis on sleep, "clean" nutrition and supplement with electrolytes. Works really well for me.

As for low intensity cardio, I feel it's good for me, but I have to say it can be a struggle to keep it low. The feeling of "I want to push harder" can sometimes be overwhelming.
Pretty good! This sounds like something a real person would say.
Yes, before it got replaced entirely they added a fifth blade for "Marketplace" - hard to believe now but that was a major development in 2006 or 2007 when it happened. But when they opened up the floodgates for video streaming services and such, they just couldn't keep adding blades

Can the average person understand that you can basically make an argument for pretty much anything, and that it doesn't mean you support the thing or what it has done ?

The nazi argument is itself particularly stupid because it seems to me it's super important from an historical point of view, and particularly relevant these days, to understand why 50%+ of the population was supporting the nazi when they came to power.

And for the porn arguments it's dumber.. just go see reddit life stories of people in family where sex talks where baiscally banished and they had problems later (unwanted pregnancies, banished from their families, stds etc...). I'm not even sure at that point that it's a worse thing that children watch instead of not watching it.
The dash is one of the last things loaded on the nand. At that point all the critical stuff has been loaded. They also had to compress the dash for storage on the nand, or else the file system would have went beyond capacity.
And yet I know some personal wealth managers who are just about the most noxious people I've run across--their success is entirely due to connections, they're all about minimizing how much Uncle Sam "steals" from them, and they will talk your ear off about how undocumented immigrants are freeloaders. They're the very definition of being born on third base and thinking you've hit a triple.

This isn't to say that you're incorrect about macro investing, just that there are niches in such fields in which plenty of incompetent BS peddlers flourish.
If I recall correctly, the whole point was that aligned goals are super hard to do, and that this is what leads to the robots creating a secret robot illuminati that takes over world leadership without anyone realizing they're voting for robots, and then working to protect humans.
I think the answer should be yes so that those taking investment should feel pressure to ensure that the money from investors is legitimate. Otherwise, it's going to be "whoops, we didn't know ;)" every time.
Tangential but the comments about BS/non-BS reminded me of this classic Henry Rollins quote (from an essay about weightlifting):

>"The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."

CUDA is great for big dense matrices, which is incredibly important. But there is a lot more to scientific computing than big dense matrices.

Also, CUDA is low-level a library by one vendor for one class of hardware. Not a language. Languages serious about scientific computing already have multiple interfaces for CUDA at various level of abstraction.

We are seeing a proliferation of craft built firearms (some 3D printed) in Myanmar. Gun controls and purchase requirements are very strict there, but it's somewhat of a failed state with ongoing insurgencies. You can find plenty of videos of those weapons online; quality looks close to low-end factory products.

I predict we'll see the same thing happen in China in about a decade when Xi Jinping dies and the central government starts to lose control over the southern regions. There was a already a lot of local workshop firearms manufacturing in China during the Warlord Era before the Communist Party consolidated control over the mainland so history may repeat itself.

Never got a good answer to the “lot more” money question. The real answer is usually “not here, because we got you ha ha, unless you have a title bump”. Salary in increases are normal but a 50% bump seems to require changing jobs and probably country.
I was thinking more about what mmap has to do with anything. Anyway it depends on the API you use. libc read/write are thread safe for instance. Obviously you still have to synchronize the higher level concept of writes if you are not writing an object all at once, but this is rather trivial to do.
I'm 39. I don't feel like my coding ability is declining, but my ability to give a shit when people keep reinventing the wheel and repeating past mistakes is declining extremely quickly.

> Some folks claim their guns can shoot thousands of rounds with no issue.

For context, I have an AR with a printed lower that I've put ~1k rounds through without issue. In the US that's the only serialized part, and therefore the only part that would be typically purchased from a dealer and able to be "traced".

> Folks literally etch their gun barrels with the same specs as commercially available barrels.

I've made a couple of pistol barrels with ECM, and they're no less accurate than commercial stuff.

It might be interesting to know that I made those specifically in order to comply with US law - not to "evade" it. Even a single-shot rimfire pistol falls under the National Firearms Act unless it has a rifled barrel. It would have been much simpler to just use a metal tube, but I didn't want to deal with filing the forms, paying the tax, and waiting months for approval before putting together a random project that I started on a whim.
I don't find reading properly indented Lisp any harder than reading properly indented Python. I agree however with respect to having the tooling help with balancing delimiters, although I let the editor do that job instead of the parser. And that's one of the major advantages of Lisp. Structural editing is considerably easier to implement. Parinfer[1] for example is really cool. I have to say I'm really excited about tree-sitter allowing similar structural editing for harder to parse languages.

"Many teams in the industry constantly rewrite parts of their code. Not because they keep figuring out better ways of approaching the problem but because nobody on the team has an accurate mental model for how it works and how the code fits in with the rest."

This part rings very true, as someone who's been through plenty of rewrites / "make module X not suck" projects. A side observation here is that usually the original author (sometimes long-departed or departing) understands very well the limitations/flaws of the original system/implementation, but can be excluded from the design of the replacement for any number of misguided reasons. Trying not to bruise the ego of an early employee, thinking that they wouldn't agree with any changes, whereas those are often the people in the best position to guide a rewrite, and often would love the chance to fix some of the decisions they had to make originally.
I think there is a difference between bad and good places. I have worked in bad places where things worked exactly as you described. Fortunately times have changed, and places I work now care about quality. Most of the time managers used to be engineers and they either know and care about it, or they care and rely on input from other engineers to understand what is going on under the hood.
