Many of the factors and changes in society that are making democracy dumber is also making autocrats dumber and less effective.

America has alot of dumb people are are getting systematically dumber. But the smart people are really really productive and keep the rest of the place bumbling along. Most of these authoritarian states lack that.
When you use client-go, you step away from the declarative interface to Kubernetes, much like when using Pulumi to step back from the TF interfaces. Kubernetes has itself strayed from being purely declarative and provides several mechanisms for transforming and modifying incoming resources during the admission and scheduling process, so you cannot actually be sure what you submit is what will be running anymore.

Again, declarative vs imperative is a DX issue. All the systems underneath are using both. So if we follow your logic, that the underlying system is what matters, every experience would be both imperative and declarative. Kubernetes and Terraform both use imperative processes to implement the declarative input. Using the properties of the underlying system to describe the exposed DX makes no sense. You don't get to add imperative on declarative or declarative on imperative and claim it has the property of the system you just layered on top of. The outermost layer, the one exposed to the end user, is the type of system (declarative or imperative) that the user is using. Pulumi and client-go are both imperative interfaces on top of other systems.

This seems like a good spot to repost a few passages from Limits to Medicine, Medical Nemesis: The Expropriation of Health by Ivan Illich, 1974:

"A world of optimal and widespread health is obviously a world of minimal and only occasional medical intervention. Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes, on a healthy diet, in an environment equally fit for birth, growth, work, healing, and dying; they are sustained by a culture that enhances the conscious acceptance of limits to population, of aging, of incomplete recovery and ever-imminent death."

“Man's consciously lived fragility, individuality and relatedness make the experience of pain, of sickness and of death an integral part of his life. The ability to cope with this trio autonomously is fundamental to his health. As he becomes dependent on the management of his intimacy, he renounces his autonomy and his health must decline.”

“The more time, toil, and sacrifice spent by a population in producing medicine as a commodity, the larger will be the by-product, namely, the fallacy that society has a supply of health locked away which can be mined and marketed.”

"Health designates a process of adaptation. It is not the result of instinct, but of an autonomous yet culturally shaped reaction to socially created reality. It designates the ability to adapt to changing environments, to growing up and to aging, to healing when damaged, to suffering and to peaceful expectation of death. Health embraces the future as well, and therefore includes anguish and the inner resources to live with it".

""Health," after all, is simply an everyday word that is used to designate the intensity with which individuals cope with their internal states and their environmental conditions. The society which can reduce professional intervention to the minimum will provide the best conditions for health."
The 'good weather' may have some problematic knock-on effects some months down the road if it keeps up, even if the lower demand due to record winter warmth has reduced spot prices on the LNG market.

Warm weather trends could mean less snowpack across the region and potential drought conditions, which could impact everything from agricultural production to reduced summer hydroelectric production to problems with the cooling water supply for France's fleet of nuclear reactors:

> "So while the current mild weather is viewed by some as having prevented a deeper power crisis stemming from gas shortages, the low snow and rain totals this winter may themselves pose an even greater risk if the warm and dry conditions continue."

https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/europes-mild-wea...

Notably, the trend of winters warming at a more rapid rate than summers in continental interiors is a long-standing prediction of climate models. Another feature is increased climatic instability associated with the gradually increasing water vapor content of the atmosphere (~7% increase per 1C temp rise), meaning long-term predictions are less reliable.

Another factor that might be influencing the current relatively low European gas price is the trend towards de-industrialization in Europe, which is not a good sign for long-term economic health:

> "Energy-intensive industries, such as aluminium, fertilisers, and chemicals are at risk of companies permanently shifting production to locations where cheap energy abounds, such as the United States. Even as an unusually warm October and projections of a mild winter helped drive prices lower, natural gas in the United States still costs about a fifth what companies pay in Europe."

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/energy-crisis-chips-...

There is long-term potential for renewable energy to replace most natural gas demand, and if 10X as much effort had gone into it over the past ten years, Europe might not be in this bind at all.

Is there any evidence that you can point to that Teslas are saving more crashes than they are causing, compared to some other vehicle with basic collision avoidance features?
There are a few cross-over SUV's with LED headlights that seem exceedingly annoying. The newer Honda Pilots and Subaru Ascent always seem like they have sun-like headlights. When one of these vehicles is traveling up a hill, the basically blind anyone coming down the hill. I own a Pilot, and get high beam flashed constantly. I had Honda check the alignment and they say its 100% where it should be.

I can't ever make out the grill after being blinded, but it seems like GM trucks (perhaps the 2500 series?) also have exceedingly bright lights.

Other vehicles seem to have "are those low or high beams" bright headlights, but not enough to "old man yells at clouds" about them.
I’ll bet that’s not an argument his insurance company will try to make.
do you have a link,thanks!
From what I can tell from the video - there seems to be a grey area because the Tesla FSD is changing lanes and stopping simultaneously. If that's the case, its not a tailgating issue but an unsafe lane change - for which the Tesla FSD (or Tesla driver) could be at least partially at fault.

The grey area will require some defense and it will be interesting to see if the Tesla driver is left high and dry by Tesla.
This is a fine excuse to not maintain safe distance, until the car in front slows or stops all of a sudden and you rear end the car, then it’s your problem.
I disagree. This is just a different relationship with work - not better and not worse. Being focused on career advancements doesn’t make them (sorry for generalizing again) worse engineers or worse colleagues. Eg I don’t care about my IC level and enjoy coding, someone else cares more about their IC level and enjoys coding. Why should I care?
For a definitive yes or no answer: Yes, they are getting brighter.

The Corolla is the litmus test of if a given technology has hit the mainstream in cars. Once upon a time LED headlights were too expensive to ever be standard on a car that basic, so halogens, which tend to be dimmer and at a less glare-prone temperature were standard.

Now they've gotten cheap enough that one of the most simplified cars on the market features them, so it's a given that you are seeing many more of them than you used to.

Bonus: HID lamps, which were the popular "blindingly bright" option back in the day were legally required to be self-leveling in some markets. In my 4 series for example, the HID lights are on something like a gimbal and can aim down if the car is pointed up, and side to side depending on which way the steering wheel is pointed.

LEDs don't have that restriction, and these self-leveling assemblies aren't exactly cheap to design and manufacture, so naturally higher volume cars are skipping out on them. So now the most common cars are most likely to blind you.

(there's also manual leveling switches in some cars, but most people barely know what their temp gauge means, so the odds someone both knows what it's for, and knows when to adjust it, are incredibly low)

Are they?
I wouldn't say that you need to reinvent any framework. I was able to build a simple application using HTMLElement directly.
I just had to define a handful of utility functions to do things like escape HTML tags for user-generated content...
The main critique I can think of is that Web Components provide many ways to do things; for example, you can create elements using vanilla JS or using template strings (or even a combination of both)...
When it comes to event handlers; you can also define them using vanilla JS or inline inside the tags as part of the template string (or both).
There is no single standard way to do anything so that was the real challenge but this can easily be solved through project-based coding style guidelines. There aren't that many gotchas.
Who else remembers when they re-implemented the (at the time version of) the Foundation framework in Java for WebObjects? That was, what, 1998? Right around when NeXT got re-absorbed by Apple, not sure if the rewrite was started before or after.

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Le...

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/WebObjects/Overview/Objective-...

Those were the days! Actually kind of amazing that the Foundation framework is the result of steady evolution of an ObjC framework written by NeXT... over 30 years ago? All those `NS` prefixes that are still hanging on are for `NextStep`.

If this really replaces the ObjC implementation... would that be the final sunset of the codebase that has been there (at least ship of theseus style) from NeXTStep days? I wonder if there's continuous version control history of Foundation source from the start, and how many, if any, lines of code remain from the initial implementation.
Natural gas in a tank is just as useful if it’s there because it was imported or stockpiled.
On a good day, I'd say we do it because it can be fun and rewarding. It's an escape from the regular daily grind; something beyond the drudgery of say React, CRUD, the frequent silliness of business logic requirements, or whatever the mundane might be at your own workplace. It can also earn us the respect of those peers whom we ourselves respect the most. A knowing smile and a nod between us is priceless. Maybe we each count ourselves lucky that at least we were spared the other's tribulations.

My own efforts don't quite earn me "the big bucks" that I read about at companies I'll actually never work for. Just a respectable east coast income that I shouldn't complain too much about. Don't know that I'd be happier anywhere else anyway. The bills get paid while I'm making the world a better place.

On a bad day, I'd say we do it because we're suckers for punishment. It's in our nature.
Did their previous cofounder fuck them over? Because I sure as fuck want a cofounder who will be willing to sue whoever fucks us over, whereas I don't intend to fuck anyone over so it would be zero risk to me.

I was thinking about that too. Imagine having image recognition within the headset or glasses which can draw boxes around items and match them against a global database. One could be walking around and see something interesting, then press a button or say a phrase to query it for information right in your glasses.

A lot of infrastructure and data would be needed before it reaches a critical mass and mass adoption follows. The more people using it, the more data there is in the system, the more people want to use it.

Another really great feature would be captions for conversations going on around you - a big help for the hearing impaired, and maybe even helpful to ordinary people to keep better track of the conversation flow.
I'm going to be charitable and make a wild guess. There's probably some software section that checks a memory mapped region for a value from thermometers and throttles as necessary. It doesn't sound too difficult to make a mistake related to testing that region.

If I were an evil overlord / dictator trying to follow one or more of the lists of things to do / not do... a dedicated hardware circuit for thermal overprotection would be among the must have items for any non-trivial device.

At least in the UK, you're not supposed to have a trailer of such a weight that it would destabilise you if you emergency brake. That's dangerous and should be outside of the vehicle's/driver's specifications. Above a certain weight, you should be using a braked trailer.

How to create a Rails gem from your existing code
I could see a single payer system having the same problems. All it would take is a system with some incentive to save money, and a bureaucracy. I could easily see Congress designing a single payer system that had both of those.

Would it be as bad? Hard to say. In one way it would be worse: There would be no alternative. You couldn't switch insurance providers to get something better.

And, in fact, just today I saw stuff about a lady in Canada who had to wait 7 hours (+/- a small amount, don't have it in front of me) for the ER, and wound up dying. People were saying "The system is broken." Well, isn't Canada single payer?

So maybe single payer isn't a magic solution. Maybe we should look at what's going wrong in Canada before we design such a system ourselves. (Single payer may still be the answer, but it's going to have to be a well-designed single payer system.)
The book "Algorithms to Live By" by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths has a small chapter on Nash equilibria in game theory and uses a interesting example involving 'unlimited' PTO in the corporate world:

All employees want, in theory, to take as much vacation as possible. But they also all want to take just slightly less vacation than each other, to be perceived as more loyal, more committed, and more dedicated (hence more promotion-worthy). Everyone looks to the others for a baseline, and will take just slightly less than that. The Nash equilibrium of this game is zero.
"Up in the ICU hopeless 95 year olds will sit on ventilators and other life support machines for weeks because doctors don’t have any discretion in stopping futile care. You can be a 30 year old pregnant woman, and you will die waiting for your ICU bed in the emergency room."

I recently went through a situation where my family member was the 95 year old. The immediate family had no basis to judge whether the care being given was futile or not. The doctors, the "palliative care" specialists, completely s** the bed there. We would have been open to good, quantitative, rational medical arguments -- the type of data-driven conclusions that guide the rest of the medical world -- but instead the palliative team (external consultants actually) seemed capable only of the basest emotional and social manipulations. We concluded from the lack of rational arguments that there was in fact no well-reasoned basis to discontinue care, and that the palliative team was really just a crew of hired guns brought in to lower hospital costs.

If you do in fact see this inefficient rationing of precious care as a major source of burnout, it seems to me that there is an enormous, wide-open opportunity to conduct studies on predicting outcomes for ICU patients & other patients with advanced conditions. It really made my spine tingle when every single doctor I asked about this simply had no reply.
I’ve seen videos of some other system (Mercedes? VW?) stopping when the driver had cruise control on without paying attention.

It put on its hazards and gradually slowed to a stop. Noting fast or abrupt. Easy for any driver paying attention to recognize and be ready for.

It was nothing like what happened in this video.

Personally I doubt this was the car trying to stop safely due to driver inattention. Seems more likely an AutoPilot/FSD bug or the phantom braking all the way to a stop at the worst time.

Or terrible driving by the driver if they had been in full control and are lying about FSD.

It varies. Your neighborhood bakery/pastry shop may have a baker that learned from their parent(s). Or it could be a higher-end shop with a trained patisserie chef. Or it could be a 'front' bakery that receives their daily shipment from a regional factory that makes them by hand or by machine.
I'm sorry actions have consequences. That must be disappointing.

I once saw a resume that had Enron, Wells Fargo, Uber and a crypto scam on it. That thing went straight in the bin. I'd have way more respect for someone who spent a couple of years bagging groceries than someone who embraced an abusive, toxic culture out of greed.
Go on, silencing voices calling to reason and forbearance. And now I am assumed to be malicious in my valid concerns? Many are those who have no issue making assumptions which lead to big troubles. You can be better than this.
Sure but that doesn't mean there will be a recession. Sometimes it's just necessary to switch fields (ie horseshoe makers when automobiles were getting popular).

This mirrors my experience of driving in America. People do not adjust their speed or following distance to the conditions. They drive like they have some sort of right to a road free of obstructions and to drive at the speed limit or above, no matter the circumstances.

It's as if they expect the speed limit sign to adapt to the circumstances. They have the attitude, "Well if I need to slow down, why does the sign say I can go 70mph?"

It could be freezing rain with black ice or a fog with zero visibilty, and the overwhelming majority of American drivers would not change their driving one bit. I have seen this in every corner of the country and it is noticeably different from other countries.

There will always be unexpected obstructions in the roadbed of major highways. Stuff falls off. People lose control and roll and end up obstructing the lanes.

So while the Tesla and its self-driving mode were the proximate cause of the obstruction that led to the collision in this particular instance, they were absolutely unrelated to the actual cause of this entire category of accidents.

This attitude affects many other aspects of American life. Notably, gun violence. Exactly the same feeling of entitlement to go full speed ahead and damn the consequences dictates the occasional outcome of both highway driving and eating your lunch quietly in the school cafeteria.

There is little difference between an American in a pickup truck barreling down out of the Alleghenies at 80mph in fog and freezing rain and and American with a not-meaningfully-regulated gun barreling into a classroom and opening fire.

Both are the direct result of a sense of entitlement, and both regularly lead to mayhem and death.

You can't blame the Tesla for this.
Other systems will stop if no driver input is detected too. They slow down much more gradually and turn on the hazards so other drivers can safely react.
There are a million other careers out there. I absolutely judge people who prioritize their personal greed and luxury over ethics, as should we all.
You’re missing the point. I worked on a project years ago that used incentives to drive PV installations when the ROI wasn’t great.

Basically a $50M in annual small scale solar incentives saved ratepayers something like $600M in excess capital costs because it reduced peak demand. For electricity, the hottest week of the summer costs more than the coldest month. The more you can maximize usage of the big power plants off peak, the lower your rates go and the more efficient you are.

Being against solar is completely nuts.

> Right, a metastudy where one of the stipulations is:

>"We excluded ... trials that ... included 20% or more of participants with ... treatment-resistant depression"

That seems reasonable, as long as 20% isn't the baseline level of "treatment-resistant depression". If you're going to do a search for all anti-depressants studies, you're bound to turn up some studies that are researching-treatment resistant depression. If you're trying to study how anti-depressants behave typically, it makes sense to exclude the extreme examples, just like if you're trying to study whether an anti-cancer medication works you want to exclude the cases where the patient was on his deathbed.
Since switching to an Apple Studio Display, I've used lunar less, but it is a fantastic app (as most of the apps these guys put out seem to be). I had a bunch of carefully tuned brightnesses that I could use keyboard shortcuts to trigger, e.g. one for when on a video call, one for when writing code, one for more casual work (dimmer), etc. I like simple apps that do one thing well and just get out of the way.

There is economical harm and that cannot be changed. But GP has a point in that Germany seems to have abandoned its stance of weathering crises by mostly waiting them out. The consequences of the Ukraine war for Germany are serious and will have to be dealt with, but there is a lot of potential to do so, and I agree with GP it's a good sign that there appears to be both willingness and ability to make use of that potential, though Germany will need a lot more of that in the coming months and years.
