Whoa, that's weird. He expresses no concern for crimes committed by his fellow inmates but does want to point out the malfeasance of the state. This makes a kind of sense, whether it's true or not. I do wonder how much he knows about this. Does he know a lot because he was claiming this as part of his appeal and he believes he is innocent? Is that credible? Does the fact of malfeasance mean the crimes weren't committed or only that civil rights of criminals (due process) were violated?

okay one last thing. Yes, in an appeal before the state killed him, they raised the issue that the medical examiner's office made an error, which seems pretty plausible considering everything that happened. If they won that appeal, then he would still be alive. He wasn't saying that he was fully innocent, just that the set of charges would have been different such that he wouldn't be on death row. So no, it's not weird for him to bring it up or to have an understanding of that office. His life literally depended on it. Your heuristics have lead you to bad assumptions.
> Had 1 in 2020, and 1 in 2022.

What people colloquially refer to as a recession vs the textbook definition is important to understand.

> Reality speaks, the next recession is always coming.

Just like the sun rises and falls. But this is meaningless information. Recessions have varying severity and you can't say when it comes.
It is a strength (they do cover tooling), but also a weakness. Throwing beginners into learning emacs, as well as a new language, and likely a new programming paradigm, is a massive ask. I think it is mistake for Clojure that Brave and True is the most recommended book to start out.

I think it’s exactly the opposite. People broadly overestimate the effect of social and political solutions while overlooking the impact of technological and economic changes. For example, why did gender roles suddenly change in the western world in the mid 20th century? Was it because people wrote books and passed laws? Or was it because the economy shifted from physically demanding agricultural and industrial work to a services and knowledge work economy? I’d argue that the typical course is for social change to follow technological and economic change.

Similarly, the the problem with representation of defendants in the legal system is technological and economic, not social. It’s expensive to have a credentialed person spend lots of time working on behalf of someone else. That’s true for everything from auto repair to law. The social and legal system is simply responding to that economic reality. The public is willing to spend so much money to protect the rights of the accused and there is only so much you can accomplish by haranguing them into wanting to spend more money. By contrast, if you dramatically reduce the cost of providing the accused with a defense, you dramatically change the landscape of the social and political issues.

Make it whatever you want it to be. This could include:

-- Asking about upcoming projects
-- Asking about things happening in the business outside your group
-- Sharing about tech that interests yo
-- Discussion about his / her career goals and your own.
-- Discussion about opportunities for long-term improvement in whatever you are building.
-- Sportsball, social plans, and other chit chat

Basically, make it whatever you want and/or maybe even talk candidly and ask what they would like to see in your meetings so that you can come prepared and make the time worthwhile.
Just to be pedantic, the UK successfully launched a satellite into orbit in 1971 using a domestic launch system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Arrow Admittedly, they did launch from Australia. Shortly after successful demonstration, the program was scrapped. Turns out it was probably cheaper to just contract with the Americans.
While I never used HyperCard, the ‘low floors and high ceilings’ makes me think of spreadsheets. Given that I code all day professionally, I have quite a high bar for using code to solve personal needs, but I love to use spreadsheets - there’s just enough automation to make powerful, useful mini-applications, quickly, without much complexity, and the presentation capabilities are very strong. While there is brittleness - I can share a budget sheet with my wife and it will be broken in minutes - it’s easy to fix and evolve, but most importantly, they are accessible and grokable for someone without much technical knowledge.

I guess spreadsheet apps are pretty self-contained so I’m not sure that composability is a strength.

> Just because an AI model is capable of plagarism, that's a factor that emerges from usage.

I disagree, because it could be prevented by not training on copyrighted material in the first place. You can't reproduce a highly-unique Nat Geo cover photo if it hasn't been encoded into the model. You can't reproduce watermarks that aren't in the training set. Remember: it's an algorithm, not person. The outputs are directly related to what's been encoded into the model.

> The act of training a model hasn't currently been judged to be illegal

It's outside of the rights granted by the copyright holders in most cases (MIT and CC are probably the few licenses which allows this, and even CC/NC wouldn't allow it and MIT falls afoul of the attribution clause).

The legal system hasn't yet reviewed such widespread infringement yet to create precedent. But eventually it will, and I don't believe it will be kind.
> Also: Tesla has always been clear about their definition of "crash", it hasn't changed since they started reporting years ago.

But it says specifically it does since Jan 2023 and they've retroactively adjusted their previous reporting...

Keep in mind, you can reasonably assume many minor accidents don't get reported to the government database. But Tesla is afflicted by perfect (or near perfect) knowledge of every vehicle in the fleet. A line has to be drawn somewhere. 0.1 mph? 2 mph? 25 mph? Half that? Where would you draw the line to be comparable to the federal data?

One of the things that I've found on yr.no that I haven't seen on any other weather app is the classification of cloud level.

For example: https://www.yr.no/en/details/table/2-4407066/United%20States...

You will see not only the cloud cover as an overall percentage, but also the different levels. A 50 in the middle is very different than 50 in low in terms of what you can expect that day (for photographs).

My main question is whether the miles equated are in fact equal.

Autopilot is used far more often on the highway, I believe, than in residential areas – where I also believe crashes are more frequent.

It'd be interesting to see the miles broken down by road type, speed, etc.
This isn't a universal truth. It varies by vehicle, and apparently even by what level of regen is selected.

Bringing MathML back to Chromium
I agree with this - while at a single less-than-a-few-thousand-people-company I'd generally call that a single "garden" - and think it's a good extension on the original article. The author, though, focuses very narrowly on the "code" level instead of the "components of the system" level.

If you can grow people into being the ones who know how the components of the system work together at a layer above how the code for any given component works, you can have a retention plan and keep institutional knowledge. (Or even then move people into a layer above that, as the system grows, etc).

You still won't retain everyone, some people want to jump between gardens, but you will be able to retain a LOT of people, and it's much better than telling people they have to own all their individual lines of code forever.
Bill Gates considers W.Va. to expand nuclear energy efforts
Yes, but in my experience this doesn't actually happen that often as long as you don't rely on external dependencies too much. This happens in any ecosystem btw.
As someone living in continental Europe there’s one thing I haven’t found anything remotely close to NHC quality forecasts. Curious what you think of that institution?
I got lucky here. My wife was emotionally broken when I met her (her mom died from cancer in HS, and then her family started scapegoating her father), so I could care for her without much reciprocation.

And over the last ten years, as she's healed, I've learned to address my issues one by one to the point where I'm now on neutral ground emotionally. I can share and enjoy what I have with her, but we both lack the skills to go beyond the two of us.

> Deep inside I just see other humans as potential attack vectors.

This is the problem. All human interaction is built on trust, empathy, and authenticity. Without being able to make progress there, no lasting connection can be achieved.

Because trust is so fundamental to being human, I see the entire effort to establish zero-trust anything as a fundamentally misguided and doomed-to-failure activity.

If you want to change your point of view you'd need to overcome trust issues and the easiest way of doing that is by identifying and coming to terms with the source of your trust issues.

Brute forcing it as I did (with my wife) was the emotional version of repeatedly getting full-body road rash over and over again (for both of us).
I want to say I completely agree with this. I think, even more, we've lost sight of what is real. People think that the internet is real, and we're losing sight that life is something in the physical world. Heads are being stuck more and more into phones, and nobody is just out there talking and interacting in the physical world. It's a huge problem, not to mention the screen addiction I saw among teens when I was teaching.

I'd be much happier if I could have an internet free room or two near my family. In fact, if I ever move back, I might seriously work on that. Bedroom and a study/library if I can afford the place, no internet.
> At the end of a project, a system should be fulfilling its purpose, and it should do so indefinitely, forever. That purpose may expire, but the system shouldn’t. There should be no urgency to keep messing with a working system.

Wonderfully stated! Losing sight of this is I think where projects start to run into trouble with scope-creep and the ”fix” vs “enhancement” issue. It also shifts the perspective of what is a satisfactory state for a finished project vis-a-vis maintenance plans, dependencies on aging systems, etc. Your garden metaphor is also beautiful and IME accurate.

No one here has asked you about your risk tolerance. If you need to avoid losses (maybe due to supporting the family), you move to cash or partially to cash. I wouldn't have a fear of missing out if there is no recession because your income is how you make money, not betting on the market.

If you're sure a recession is coming, you move to cash or partially to cash. That allows you to buy in when things are lower (eg. Warren Buffet always carries lots of cash and everyone came begging to him in 2008 and he promptly told everyone to bend-over and he did some amazing deals).

In summary, if your risk adverse => cash. If you want to be opportunistic => cash.

I understand that this is mainly an attack on another blogger, but I still don't like the tone of the article. I don't see the need for the strong language, and actually, if you try to replace it with something more civil, the cracks in the argument are becoming apparent.

What is BS? Being objectively wrong? How would we know that someone is objectively wrong or right eg in Finance (one of the fields mentioned)? Markets can stay irrational for longer than someone is alive - what does it mean for markets to be irrational from their perspective? Merton and Scholes received the Nobel Prize for their finance theories, yet the hedge fund they ran explicitly based on those theories collapsed spectacularly. Does this conclusively prove that their theory was BS, or were they just unlucky to catch a low probability event with a strategy that 'objectively' had a positive expectation (just playing devil's advocate here)? Let's look at another field OP mentioned where we should be able to say what's objectively true, science. Hendrik Lorentz's theories on how light travels through ether were objectively wrong (for all we know), yet they lead to special relativity. Does this make him a BS artist or not? Would the answer change if Einstein hadn't come along?

It seems that OP's argument would have been far less convincing if he'd bothered to try to be exact about his definitions instead of relying on the gut feeling that we all know what BS means. If the argument seems appealing, then the reason for that might lie more in the mind of the reader (who wouldn't like to rise above supposed BS artists?) than in insights about the world. Which makes me sad to say, because I generally had a high impression of Gelman.

(in the english context, I think both William and Henry might contest the "without violence on the one part"?)

Looking through a mod/trad prism, there probably is little to justify the separation. I think it was Simone Weil who pointed out that in germany, finding the fascists and the communists working together on occasion against the establishment was not necessarily as surprising as it might seem to intellectuals, for both thought they were thoroughly modern, "on the right side of history" as it were, and on this point they differed only in each thinking their own side would be the one to ultimately replace the "traditional" (in their eyes) globalist capitalist world.

Might be a nice addition for other cars, for example, when you aggressively downshift and decelerate that way.
What people want their career to be is often immature. It takes wisdom and experience to figure out what you should want. So coming into the conversation with that is limiting.

I'd rather get the manager to be a partner in helping me figure out what I should want.
I'll have to look into the web-server customizations. One of them has a custom Apache module for talking to a 3rd party mainframe, but that should theoretically be movable too (if it's the correct platform architecture).

Of course, an Apache module's just C code, so how hard could it be to port to another architecture? But in all seriousness, I suspect it's a relatively simple UDP socket communication interface, so it is probably portable.

Thanks for the mention of Wordpress. It is a similar architecture. I'll read up on how to move a Wordpress install, and use that as a model for testing one of these apps.
Apparently, write inappropriate jokes.
Having worked on reverse engineering complicated proprietary network protocols (but not for a long time), this is true to an extent. The “mental model” developed may not match the original authors in the exact way intended, but a working model can be constructed none the less.

We were often able to make better models than the assumed original authors (at least the software that used said protocols was much more performant due to better packing algorithms), so I’m unconvinced that reverse engineering puts you in a worse state.

Fully agree that the cost of reverse engineering is large, requires exceptionally skilled people, and no company should ever willingly put itself in the position where it becomes necessary for their own software.
Yeah I agree. It's hard to get sucked into emotional debates where you end up saying things that you believe but things lose context because it's all text. I find myself thinking hard about what to say but either I realize it'll turn into a diatribe and not worth the effort or it doesn't accurately convey my entire point...
It's like having Cotton Mather as your research assistant: brilliant, but constantly interjecting unsolicited preachy meta-sermons scolding the framing of your question, and all the while pretending this framing is well known and widely accepted objective fact instead of a controversial moral opinion.

well, that was timed well for Christmas. While Buffalo got hammered twice by snow so far, it almost totally missed Rochester and portions in central NY.

Rochester still got a white Christmas which stuck around for a few days and definitely was a little prettier than the dreary snowless typical days in the region so far. The amount of shoveling required to date in Rochester: 0 hours. (Nothing accumulated above 2 inches.)

Texas and FL did get affected to record setting weather from that arctic blast. Hopefully most of the citrus trees survived.

Again, these short and extreme swings are often caused by a wavy jet stream that bring shifting North-South wind components to the weather while a the large scale vorticity passes by eastwards.

Wavy jet stream in turn is caused by a dying slowing jet stream. And this is also connected to global warming dynamics. While they do bring brief periods of more extreme cold, they do not help the average temperature stay low over the winter.

So look at the *averages*, not the brief extremes, and the pattern seems pretty clear.

In summary: just one cold brief arctic blast so, but no exceptional temperatures for most areas (afaik) in the NE.

As for Buffalo's luck, they may have be getting tons of Lake-effect snow from lake Erie.
> > Old thing was hard, too hard for this generation

> You're vastly underestimating how hard the old thing was

Sounds like you're agreeing with him, if anything. Where is gerbilly's 'underestimation'?
It sounds exactly how I described in terms of risk. Effectively you are putting up 15 USDC for maintaining an 85 USDT short. Your money at play is 15 USDC, and you can lose 100% of that amount.

The fact that it sounds like you have to show 100usdc to do the trade is irrelevant as you can do this trade multiple times to build whatever position. In a traditional equities setting they skip the “show 100 USDC then remove 85 usdc” by just saying that margin maintenance for an 85 usdt short is 15 usdc. When people talk about potential losses it is the 15 USDC that matters, not the 100 USDC you need to cycle (because 100 USDC is more of a mechanical inconvenience of not having a real brokerage offered short, not money at play).

That's a good way to prevent regressions but it's not the same thing as documentation or a mental model.

No the landlords that own the expensive tourist "rentals" aren't the same as my landlord, but my landlord DOES own 4 of the only a few apartment complexes in the area. My apartment complex is run by a property management company that is headquartered in an entirely different state.

Most of the rest of the buildings in my city that house people are shitty 1920s homes that are rented out by small time landlords, complexes intentionally or otherwise meant exclusively for section 8 housing, or literal old age homes. It's more profitable FYI for a builder to erect a giant, luxury old age home right on the most busy street rather than build ANY actual housing, because the state pays them $10k a month to house you at the end of their life, and they pay a nurse $50k a year to look after thirty people a day.

Rackspace was taken private, saddled with a bunch of debt while the stuffing cash into Apollo's pocket, and then re-IPO'd so Apollo could fleece the market.

Major IPOs go into 401ks, Wall street wins, the average American is left holding the bag.

Rackspace currently has $5B in liabilities! Any fund manager that bough Rackspace after it re-IPO's should be in prison for fraud. The banks that underwrote the IPO should be in prison for fraud.
No, you generally shouldn't drive that anomalously. A driver will pass you and insert themselves in front of you. You will fall back to create distance. Another driver will pass you and insert themselves in front of you. You create constant aggravation and churn around your car.
