17 million new vehicles are sold per year in the US. I would argue EVs are not yet sold at a volume sufficient to drag the average new vehicles sales price up much beyond the $48k it’s currently at. Cars are just more expensive, interest rates keep rising, and wages aren’t keeping up.
We rented this movie when I was a kid (probably the Beta version). It's one of 2 movies that me and my brother watched twice in 2 days. The other was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. We watched that one the second time with my uncle who sat and watched the entire movie with us and then said it was the stupidest movie he's ever seen. We were so disappointed.
Apparently (TIL!) it's three now, with a meteor that burned up in 2014 having been confirmed in just April 2022 as interstellar! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNEOS_2014-01-08

And who was part of the team that first reported its existence? "CNEOS 2014-01-08 is an interstellar object reported in June 2019 by astronomers Amir Siraj and Abraham Loeb"
> That's exactly what it means, though...

No. I don't think so. As an example: A starving person does not have an inherent right to food. On the other hand, if someone has enough to feed his own self, family and then some, one can argue he has a responsibility to assist others who do not have enough.

I do not see one to be the same as the other. Positive rights force other people to give you something. Responsibilities, on the other hand, direct you to give to others. Giving is not the same as taking.

Responsibilities are also hierarchical and some take precedence over others, and it is up to the person's discretion to decide how and when to fulfill them. Rights, on the other hand, are generally not seen as hierarchical but all-or-nothing. From https://www.unfpa.org/resources/human-rights-principles: "Consequently, all human rights have equal status, and cannot be positioned in a hierarchical order. Denial of one right invariably impedes enjoyment of other rights. Thus, the right of everyone to an adequate standard of living cannot be compromised at the expense of other rights, such as the right to health or the right to education."

I can say I probably agree with nothing from the above link, but it at least provides evidence that people do not view positive rights as either hierarchical or at the discretion of the giver.

I lastly think it can't be undervalued that giving viewed as a responsibility is more likely to inspire gratitude in the receiver, whereas taking viewed as a right tends to inculcate a demanding and ungrateful spirit in the taker.
> governments don’t have a monopoly on violence.

Yes they do. Any violence not conducted or sanctioned by the government is illegal and is theoretically punished. When you say there exists violence with no government, you’re agreeing with me.

How about the people who have no home. Do they prefer governments and civilization? Would they not be better off if they could take your things?

Why do you assume that in order for a government to be legitimate, it must only satisfy you? I don’t really care about you or me or any one person. The question is whether the order we operate under is legitimate. In order for it to be legitimate, it must, at the very least, beat disorder for most people.

Yes! But isn't one of the major design principles of Make that the host filesystem is the container for the state? (iirc Make decides when to re-run rules based on when the timestamp on a target is older than the timestamp on an input file)

If you can’t fit the model on your resources you can leverage DeepSpeed’s ZeRO-offload which will let you train GPT2 on a single V100 (32gb).

Alternatively, if you’re researching (with the caveat that you have to either publish, open source or share your results in a blog post) you can also get access to Google’s TPU research cloud which gives you a few v3-8s for 30 days (can’t do distributed training on devices but can run workloads in parallel). You can also ask nicely for a pod, I’ve been granted access to a v3-32 for 14 days pretty trivially which (if optimized) has more throughput than 8xA100 on transformer models.

TPUs and moreso pods are a bit harder to work with and TF performs far better than PyTorch on them.

^ This. Twitter's response is tragicomic -- is this the best that a company like Twitter can do?
Yes.

Now look into how you construct a soliton, and try to figure out what monstrous levels of control you'd have to exert over solar-system sized quantities of degenerate matter to create them, and how much energy it would take.

Now compute how much laser light you can generate for, oh, let's say, 6 orders of magnitude less energy. And how tightly you'd expect a civilization that apparently can casually wiggle dozens of solar masses at multiple Hz, in a modulated manner no less (so just a several Hz orbit is not sufficent, we are wiggling these things under power), to be able to collimate such a beam.

This is the problem with gravity waves. It isn't some sort of supreme cheat code of the universe for super awesome communication. It's transparently obviously idiotic. Like, not just, "well, it's not necessarily the best way, but even if it's not great someone may have tried it", like, you're burning dozens of orders of magnitude more energy per bit. Plural dozens, of orders of magnitude. Not dozens of times, ten to the power of dozens. This is not sensible no matter how advanced the civilization. We're talking levels of stupid that would greatly exceed spending the entire output of Earth's collective industrial civilization for all of history on a single pack of Skittles. This is not a bright thing to do, and it only gets dumber the smarter you suppose the aliens are.
One big reason I rely on Make: its old. Make has been well maintained for nearly 50 years, and is deeply integrated into the programming ecosystem as a whole.

I can start a new project that relies on Make, and be extremely confident that Make will continue to work and be maintained for the lifetime of my project. 20+ years from now, Make will still work. My Make knowledge will be relevant for my entire career.

New and shiny replacements like Just are tempting, but you have to consider the real cost of:

1) Learning a new build system

2) Onboarding new devs with an unfamiliar build system

3) Dealing with the eventual deprecation of the new shiny, once something newer and shinier comes out. Rewrite your build scripts, GOTO 1.

There is some tiny marginal benefit to what you’re talking about (there’s a chance someone might later want to look at the corresponding issue). But you aren’t acknowledging the cost, measured in my sanity making a bunch of one-line issues in jira, and the team’s time doing cost estimation.

It’s nice to leave breadcrumbs for future code historians. But our job is shipping product. Cost estimation, jira, etc all only have value proportional to how much they help us ship. If the meetings are pointless, and jira isn’t needed then doing that anyway is a waste of time.

True, but scaling has its own problems. It was necessary to find better optimisers, activation functions, regularisers, weight sharing schemes, architectures and many other ingredients to make it work. And to prepare the large datasets, and invent the whole stack of frameworks, from CUDA to HuggingFace.

We have had 250,000 ML papers written since 2012. That's a lower bound on the number of distinct experiments necessary to find the winning tickets of today. Inventing the step-activated neuron formula was less than 1% of the way here.

The inventor talks about how the internal structure is based on minimizing surface area. That would of course reduce the material but in a heat exchanger don't you want to maximize surface area, not minimize it?

After 50 years of exposure to this kind of narrative people will realize that 'whiteness' is not what is cracked up to be.

If that’s indeed the most useful general thing that can be said about this question, then it means the microservices crowd has won, at least insofar as it deserved to win. The point is not that everything needs to be a micro-est possible service, the point is that we all now have applications built out of loosely-coupled services as a primitive in our reasoning toolbox.

(In a world where microservices haven’t yet won, we think RPC is obviously always a good idea and build our web apps as ISAPI modules and AOLserver extensions.)

I think very similar things when I hear Casey Muratori’s opinions on OOP[1], which he titled “getting rid of the OOP mindset” but I’d summarize as “absolutely do make an object or two if that fits your problem domain, but remember that it doesn’t have to and use your judgment”: that’s what OOP winning feels like, from the inside, once you’ve internalized it. Once people can look at a thing and think “you know what, that looks like an object”, OOP has won, even though people won’t always be right and not literally all the things are best modelled as objects.

(In a world where OOP—or lexical scope—hasn’t yet won, we read papers about Actors, struggle to understand what the authors could possibly mean, and implement a small language in order to have a version of those ideas we can play with. The language ends up being called Scheme.)

The same probably applies to structured programming, though it seems that structured programming deserved to win quite a bit more than the others, and though I don’t have easy access to pre-structured programming lore the same way I do to pre-OOP or pre-microservices lore.

In hindsight, old, good, now-accepted reasoning frameworks always seem to consist entirely out of trivially right stuff on one hand and outrageously wrong stuff on the other. That’s entirely by design and doesn’t mean the ancients were stupid—this is culture working correctly and well. It means that you, who has before only ever been in contact with the consensus that emerged out of their bitter struggles, have such a deep and implicit knowledge of that consensus that the good points that were once revolutionary sound obvious to you. You’re only seeing the bad points because those are the ones that didn’t find their way into the culture.

Scott Alexander’s metaphor of “philosophy in the water supply”[2,3,4] is the best explanation of this that I know.

“Unlimited time off” is a misnomer. It’s not unlimited, but just not officially monitored. Everyone I know that has this as a policy gets soft guidance on how many days they should be taking. It’s similar to switching from everyone getting a 30 minute timed lunch break to everyone just taking lunch however they see fit. It doesn’t mean that you can take a 3 hour lunch everyday. But you can take your normal lunch, which is some days shorter some days longer. And if it gets in the way of your work then the responsibility is on you and your manager.

From a business perspective, it’s a benefit because it’s one less thing to keep track of, and they don’t have to pay out unused vacation days. But to a worker, especially people focused and busting their butts, it’s a little annoying because it doesn’t feel like the time is earned or actually yours. But it does make vacation planning simpler for sure.
Strange, I hadn't come across that before. Not sure what they're trying to achieve, deny they ever had a leak?

Fair argument. I didn't put too much rigorous thought into my post, and really didn't mean offence, but to roughly explain my thinking:

- First, I wasn't trying to dismiss any opinions by bringing up survivorship bias, I brought it up because I think it's valuable to have a term to describe the general and probably bi-directional relationship between how notable something is and how well it's known many years after creation
- I'd argue that the original comment's footnote [0] talking about "classic" papers is explicitly bringing survivorship, if not the survivorship bias, into the conversation.

Honestly, at this point I've kinda lost track of what I wanted to clarify here, so - I apologize for the confusion and, if interpreted as such, the offensive posting.

While great in theory, the devil is in the details.

So far, every company I've worked for has an "unlimited" PTO policy. In practice, it means that folks end up taking little/no PTO, or folks end up abusing the policy with extensive breaks for personal travel, etc. (I 100% support taking vacations and carving out time for personal projects and family stuff... I just kinda look askance at the idea of taking the equivalent of a 1-month sabbatical only 6 months after joining a company.)

What I'd love to see is Unlimited PTO with a mandatory minimum. Even for the most die-hard workaholics, having some time away from work stuff is important. For everyone else, a PTO mandate would make taking personal time just another part of their work responsibilities.
It sounds like you are unfamiliar with the concept of a protected class. Those characteristics that are protected by (US) law are generally the ones that companies focus on in this kind of data collection.

The article has the following near the end:

"To see more real-world examples of makefiles, see my [World Atlas](https://github.com/mbostock/world-atlas) and [U.S. Atlas](https://github.com/topojson/us-atlas) projects, which contain makefiles for generating TopoJSON from Natural Earth, the National Atlas, the Census Bureau, and other sources."

I checked those repositories because the descriptions of the makefiles sound interesting, but I couldn't find the makefiles. Am I looking wrong?

> Don't they call you "white hispanic"?

Usually they ask me to check a box, and as a Brazilian I don't ever really check "hispanic" as I don't feel that is a term that applies to me.
> You mentioned RPC's. Your service interface has nothing to do with the data organization.

I find data organization to be a direct consequence of service interface. If two things aren't talking over RPCs or pubsub, they're talking through the database. It's not just my org. Pretty common for monoliths to end up with an obscene reliance on a single DB and start looking for a huge machine to support it.

There isn't a clear definition of what a separate "service" is, but I think it's fair to say that separate services won't have identical consistent views of the same DB. They'll be more independent than that, each with authority only over its own data, and use each other's data in an eventually-consistent manner through a well-abstracted API. And that does bring some overhead.
