Not updating dependencies is the equivalent of never brushing your teeth. Yes, you can ship code faster in the short term, but version skew will be a huge pain in the future. A little maintenance every day is preferable to ten root canals in a few years.
My thought was to take the old mouse, make it young again, and then make it old again.

And sure, keep the brother 10 months old forever, but that takes a long time.
Same reason a gold medalist keeps competing or an Academy Award winner keeps acting. Scoring 100 goals or making the best phone for the 17th year, there's just that element of mastery to it.
Sure and shadow moderation should be banned. And hiring managers secretly colluding to black ball you should be banned. Lots of things should be illegal, I guess the shit answer here is run for congress or lobby a lawmaker. Kinda like "if you don't like it,fork it".

how about fast-forward to 2023 - covid-19 meets the elite retreat. No mercy for Esalan, they did it to themselves with their pricing. Q. How many retreat centers are in California? about as many as downsizing ranches with a guest room.. or were before AirBNB that is.. but those retreat centers are not 'destination' centers with the list of A, B, C celebrities recited at every opportunity. bah signed- not a fan

ps- I believe that I saw Jobs and Company signed into the Guest Logs at the Tassajara Retreat Center one summer when I sat zen for real.. so what..

So much this! There’s surely a huge argument that all of scientific education is a massive disservice.

The point should be to learn and appreciate the method or process of scientific investigation of uncertain and mysterious or hard to understand phenomena.

Instead we get dogma as a proxy of measuring intelligence with little regard for what the fundamental tools are of being a scientist.

I’ve gone all the way through to Grad School and came out astounded at just how little commitment to or a sense of the essence of scientific investigation and what’s expected of the investigator there is in the system. They don’t prepare you for it because they themselves weren’t prepared. You can try to leverage some meta understanding of the “process” in conversation or debate, but so often the conversation falls flat because few are prepared or accustomed to it. Research is often done, IMO, in philosophical poverty by people eking out a living in the gutters of novelty and paradigmatic safety, averting their gazes from the sky (flourishes aside, you get my point).

Putting aside the health of actual research. If the general public is to benefit from education and pass that benefit into their society (that’s the point right), it needs to be more than soon to be forgotten and often useless fallacies.

Right, the finding from Google's Android team was that security bugs tend to be in new code, and so therefore choosing a safe language for new code is a much bigger win than rewriting stuff that you weren't going to change otherwise and which might be fine.
Yes, absolutely. Also to be clear: people aren't implicitly at fault for asking questions rooted in fud. Caring is a good thing, and so is trusting your intuition, and speaking up. The challenge is working through it all quickly and collaboratively.

> Not only can they be more cost-effective without compromising on quality...

That feels dishonest. Even if this AI is just as good at speaking as a professional voice actor (which I'm not sold on), a voice actor does more than just read the line. In ideal circumstances, they have a lot of context for what their character is doing and feeling.

Is this potentially a good option for saving money on video game voices? Quite possibly yes. Is there no compromise on quality? No, not yet.

Past that, the whole "Ethical AI" section's arguments seem ridiculous. Of COURSE it puts the livelihoods of voice actors at risk. Your product's whole point is that fewer man hours are needed for voice work. Just accept that you're making those jobs obsolete. There's a perfectly good argument that it's okay to do that. Throwing bullshit at us to convince us that "no, the voice actors will still have lots of work, and they won't even have to talk!" just makes you sound like snake oil salesmen.
Cook was an excellent XO who made all the Jobs-induced innovations practical.

Which was an immense job. Supply chain management at global scale is phenomenally challenging.

Cook seems to be a very competent bean counter. He lacks the charisma and the "one more thing" that Jobs had, but he has done an incredibly impressive job of turning Apple into one of the planet's biggest money making machines.

Apple is now a movie studio, a music distribution company that makes its own hardware, a software marketplace, one of the world's biggest consumer hardware companies, and a legendary brand.

Someone less competent wouldn't have kept all those plates spinning.

The cost has been an outbreak of blandness. Jobs was primarily a narcissist who enjoyed pushing others because it made him feel better about himself. But he also had a genuine passion for creativity, aesthetics, and the future.

Cook lacks those qualities. He's the ultimate perfected FAANG company man. There's nothing cool about him. This has affected the products, which are good enough to very good, but not inspiring.

It's impossible to know what Jobs would have done, or if there was even room for game changing new products. We know VR is on its way, and Car has been happening for a while. But neither of those is truly a game changer. (VR might be, but it could also fail badly.)

So I suspect this is a hint of frustration from the Board, who are happy to count their money, but are also missing that One More Thing that will be Insanely Great.

Very interesting indeed!

Any idea why those projects (Scribe and LogDevice) were mothballed? Did Facebook simply lose interest in maintaining or did other OSS projects enter the mix that proved to be a better fit? Thanks again for sharing.

I think that on a holistic level if you reduce curtailment then in the end you get side effects (in the geometrical sense) that can cascade.

If we store more wind power to reduce curtailment, then that power can be used later. I end up getting a larger fraction of my overall power through wind, so my neighbor can have more access to alternative sources of power that I am not using. Their neighbors now have access to more power as well, because my neighbor is pulling more from my now unused infrastructure.

The gas burnt at peak might not change! But out of peak the balance can change (at least until, say, Scotland is running 100% on wind I guess). The nice thing with storage (especially hydro storage, which sidesteps everyone's universal answer of "batteries are expensive") is that you get to actually hold onto the energy and be "smarter".
The big problem with sortition (which Landemore appears to be arguing for) is that it's uh non-democratic. Instead of allowing citizens to vote for their representatives, you're literally removing the fundamental basis of democracy and doing something else entirely. I'm sure neither the author nor you see that as a stepping stone to authoritarianism, but it kind of is.

I'd be open to exploring citizens assemblies that are democratically elected & assembled for a set period of time to tackle one specific issue. But they have to be voted in, random sortition is unacceptable

I think it’s actually quite a simple model to think of the universe as a network of discrete nodes, rather than a spatial thing that’s expanding and within which various things are accelerating. It makes the Big Bang simpler - we start from a small number of nodes and they grow in number, so we don’t need to think about what the universe is expanding ‘into’. And it explains expansion - nodes can divide like mitosis, so we don’t need to explain some force pushing things apart.

I think; for myself, at least - doing ‘useless’; or passion/pet projects are a way to ‘keep up your chops’ or the like as a developer, and keep your inspiration for it.

I do SEGA Saturn homebrew, and mostly actually just experiments (I’ve never published any of my Saturn projects so far, though I intend to for one of them), and I only really do it for the obscure interest of learning a kind of fairly obscure and complex processor and co-processor architecture for…the love of it?

I don’t care if I make money off it; I don’t really need to, I don’t care if people see or use it; because that’s not the purpose behind the exercise, and I guess that does seem almost strange but the curiosity and learning is what drives me.

I work a 9-5 as a mobile developer and it’s honestly usually not that challenging or growth-inducing. Not that I’m complaining, I love my job and my company, but in order to stay passionate and ‘into’ programming I find doing these weird passion projects really helps.

Hope that makes sense!

EDIT: I’m also a music producer, and one task I really like to do in a similar way to ‘keep up my chops’ is to re-produce an almost carbon copy of a song I’m interested in particular audio engineering qualities about to, EG, learn about particular techniques being used. I’ll obviously never be able to use or sell them, but I can re-apply the techniques I learned in that experience elsewhere.
Or do both:

- have a meeting where you discuss and build a shared intuition for the problem

- tomorrow (or next week or…), have a meeting where you solve the problem

This is closer to what large data processing does:

Synchronize the data, distribute tasks to work, synchronize and compile the results.
Not only are there tools for it, it's such a common problem that there's a Wikipedia list of just the solvers that are notable enough to have dedicated articles:

Be warned that the learning curve tends to be steep if you don't have the background down. It's far simpler in most cases to approximate your circuits and say "Good enough" unless you're venturing into pretty wild territory (antennas and high frequency), so most of the offerings tend to be either academic, military, or high end commercially focused.
I believe this is the definition of multiplying entities unnecessarily.
Stated more succinctly: Any mirror we launch couldn't catch up with any light emitted from before the mirror launched. So we couldn't see our past that way.

We could do it only with a reflector/bender that already existed in the light cone future from when the light was emitted.

Yup. I avoided Macs until the M1. Had an old work MBP (2020 or so) that I didn't like because of some hardware glitches, but they patched it all up by 2022.

Green comet approaching Earth for first time in 50k years
No as has already been answered. The example I can directly think of is modelling of specific weather patterns across Australia. A model that works in predicting weather 2 weeks out may work today but not work so well in 5 years.

Global Warming is happening, that is not just a realm of modelling but is directly observable today. The models on a broad scale look to be working very well, specific locations and reactions not so much.

It is possible to make broad engines that work but also get the finer details wrong. Signal : Noise ratio and all of that.
I’m a git nerd and even I struggle with the submodule UI, there are probably a lot of people who just can’t deal with it.

Except if the government owned it then there is no profit motive to begin with. At one point the number of intermediaries does start mattering (though I imagine that power suppliers are lower margin than other businesses)

How do you define modularity? Written modular code in many languages.

Me experience: functional constructs and declarative problem solving helps in grand scheme, as does putting your time into building missing abstractions or using right library.

with big monolithic architecture not only modularity important. also good if language has good set of libraries. also easier to maintain with strong typing. no strong typing in large code base is deal breaker to me.
It really sucks to manage shared libraries, across many clients in a few languages. Any update requires updating the version everywhere, and you have to independently debug which version of which library was being used by which application at the time a bug occurred. It works, it isn't impossible, obviously lots of people manage it successfully (polyrepos are more common than monorepos in my experience), but it's a giant pain and it sucks.
>> I wonder what the motivation is to keep working once you become a billionaire.

I still trust in the Copernican principal until proven otherwise.
Not a nuclear engineer, but Im curious to know how they do it - throttling nuke is hard. I only know the stream "dumping" method.

There's good reason why they are hard to throttle. For starters thermal contraction shortened lifespan; but also because the nuclear cycle itself doesn't lend itself to throttling safely - nuclear products create "retarded (?) neutrons" which are the cornerstone of a stable control system (as opposed to prompt neutrons) and also significant amounts of neutrons poisons which are normally "burned" at equilibrium steady state power levels but which accumulate if you throttle down (therefore be needing even more prompt neutrons).

My understanding is that the more you need to rely on prompt neutrons for your neutron balance the more unstable your reactor (starting them up, therefore, is delicate). Throttling the power upsets this balance by at least two different mechanism.
There are worse things than supporting cryptocurrency in your project, but Brave's implementation is downright nefarious. BAT was a funnel that led directly into the developers pockets, it didn't even pretend to be pro-community.

I don't trust Brave any more than I trust Google, since ultimately they're both funded by dwindling ad revenue.
Fidelity asks for login password via telephone keypad
When I called Fidelity they asked me to type my login password on the phone keypad so they can verify my identity.

At first I thought it was a little weird, but then I began to wonder how that would work. Each number of the keypad can have up to 3 characters, so how do they verify my password? Are they keeping passwords in plain text? Or are they converting passwords to numbers and store that in addition to hashed password? Anyone have any insight?

The scale of the public health risk is nowhere near the same, for one.

We might also consider that the "deeply meaningful things" phrase is hiding behind superficial similarities. One is a reproductive function and an important part of a well-functioning couple; the other is an ancient burial practice that nobody can truthfully claim is part of their living culture.

You're sea-lawyering. We know you understand the difference.
I think its good to bring up SPAs in this context: fundamentally, they shouldn't exist, and you're using the browser wrong. They are the poster child of design smell when it comes to "web apps".

Do you need SEO to work, even though Google Search torpedoed effective SEO a long time ago? Search engines disfavor websites that are extremely opaque and are made of a single page or few pages.

Do you need to be able to open content in new tabs, thus increasing productivity dramatically? Many SPAs will forget the app state and be unable to navigate back to where you were if you open it in a new tab. This also means you can't bookmark them either, and I've also seen browser tab/window restoration screw over SPA state.

Do you want browser performance? Using complex JS/TS to mangle the DOM and causing redraws outside of the initial page load is a good way to scare users off when their browser shits itself for 3+ seconds.
Yes, that was very intentional
This will be presented as deliberate, but I wonder if they just fired the team that handles this stuff. Things are going to fall between the gaps when you cut staff so quickly and violently, and it's hard to believe they just thought they could stop paying.

This can further reinforce the idea that the unobservable universe was always there and that the big bang is only a pattern of movement of the cluster of galaxies and it is only the information that has managed to arrive from our position.I want to see how big bang theory falls into an optical illusion.
Magnetohydrodynamics is, specifically, the "easy part" carved out of plasma fluid dynamics. It is inadequate to almost all applications, with only rare, precious exceptions, mostly manufactured. Devices that rely on plasma fluid dynamics to work are carefully designed to keep the plasma in the domain where MHD can be used to model them.

Astrophysicists, as a rule, hate to be obliged to consider phenomena that involve plasma fluid dynamics, even what can be shoehorned into MHD. Such phenomena are thus orphaned, and you won't find anybody talking about them.

The exception is solar physics, where nothing can be done at all without fully general plasma fluid dynamics. Solar physicists have the largest gonads in science, on par with rocket propellant chemists.
