That's a reasonable model to work from. My observations:

First, "Anticipating and preventing problems ahead of time" is of a manifestly different character to either "Preventing a problem that has already occurred from getting worse" (sometimes called stabilization) or "Recovering to a good state after a problem has occurred" (sometimes called remediation).

Another model we use that emphasizes the difference is to divide the work into "proactive" and "reactive" categories. Everything we do that is not during an incident is proactive, everything that happens during an incident is "reactive."

It's a simpler model than the three categories you presented, but it can be helpful to highlight the fact that companies often under-invest in proactive processes and end up paying the "robustness and resilience debt" in reactive activities.

Second, I suggest that proactive work such as "Anticipating and preventing problems ahead of time" applies to both resilience and robustness. If there is an incident that is resolved by rebooting a service that has some kind of memory leak, that's reactive.

If the postmortem identifies a bug in the code causing the leak and a bug fix is deployed to prevent that incident from happening again, the system has become more robust.

Whereas, if no bug fix is made, but the runbook is updated to suggest rebooting the service when it runs out of memory, this is going to increase resilience. Proactive activities drive better outcomes in both cases.
I had one that dripped water through a pad in air flow, and had a small drain pipe. Maybe not as good as steam, though much simpler.
Many old-school unixes were developed in the single-thread days. When they added support for threads they were an opt-in feature, like the above macro definitions, and using libraries like libc_r.so instead of libc.so, and so on. AIX even had compiler wrappers like xlc_r which set the relevant preprocessor macros and linked in the correct runtime libraries.

When the Linux glibc 2.x/NPTL ABI was taken into use, it was clear that threads were not a passing fad and stuff was made multi-thread (to the extent the API can enable that, of course) by default, so there was no need for carrying around both a single-thread ABI and a multi-thread ABI.
We do have a wonderful economic system and I'm proud of it. Yet, I no longer feel incentivized to continue watching and throwing Ad dollars their way associated with my personal login, because they habitually ignore what I tell them I don't want, including in multiple Feedback posts using their feedback tool.

This price cut was done to be eligible for the US tax credit. Once March hits there will be battery requirements which will limit the amount a Tesla owner can receive as a tax credit. Feel free to wait, but I doubt the price is going to drop much more.
I'm not disagreeing per se, but you may be interested to listen to this interview with the Competition Commissioner for more perspective. My takeaway is that it's the laws, not the enforcers, that need to change:

> My first thought when looking at this thread was: I wonder if someone will try to claim their robot is a man and that it has been created. What might that imply?

It implies that they are wrong, and raises no interesting legal or philosophical questions.

Come back in a couple decades and we can check if we're getting closer.

A tangent to pondering the sci-fi future isn't entirely unwarranted, but it should be presented as a hypothetical and not as if it's a practical barrier to OP's question. "What if some day an AI approaches being human?" or something.

On the other hand if the meaning was supposed to be about human assistance, it would help to specify that and also talk about what kind of assistance might present meaningful trouble.

Or maybe they meant something else too. Such a wide breadth of topics being gestured at with only two words is not a good way to get a point across.

You can vouch for dead comments and bring them back (they can still end up dead again if flagged enough). Click on the timestamp for the dead comment and click on `vouch`. I don't know if there's a karma limit needed to vouch for comments.

And you can (and I think most people ought to) turn on `showdead` through your profile so you can see dead comments. Not all are worth vouching for, but many are.
Isn't that true of all software? At some point, things should be able to be fully feature complete. Maybe update the UI toolkit every five years to appear fashionable.

In practice, the industry loves to replace fully working projects rather than tweak existing, so we will never get to such a state of nirvana.

That's just a string of nonsense. There's not a single aspect of deploying infrastructure anywhere in space is trivial.
Suspend/sleep mode on (recent) Windows laptops seems very hit-or-miss, since everyone started to move away from "proper" S3 sleep, and towards what Linux calls "s2idle" (modern/connected standby on Windows?)

It seems to be a fairly significant regression in terms of functionality, which nobody really asked for, but which results in significant idle drain, coupled with the risk of a laptop deciding to resume and heat up in a bag, etc.

Apple seems to have a (long standing) positive argument here - to point at how when you put a Mac to sleep, you can resume it days later with negligible battery drain. Windows seems to have lost this in the post-S3 sleep era.
I don't know what specific laws you mean but they dropped the price worldwide, no?
Who says they are giving the police "unlimited power" (edit: obviously regarding shutting down protests) ?

Even the article (which is from The Guardian after all) reports that "The change would broaden and clarify the legal definition of “serious disruption” and allow police to consider protests by the same group on different days or in different places as part of the same wider action."

So, again, the exact wording of that amendment will be key and I don't think it has been published yet.
The "radical left" finally got some power.

The head of the FTC is known to be someone who wants to enact progressive policies. For her and her staff, limiting noncompetes is driven by idealism that workers should have more rights.

I believe that these changes are echoes of Bernie and other progressives getting lots of votes since 2016. They are now insiders in the government rather than outsiders, so they advocate for progressives to lead departments.

In Rust you need to understand borrowing to write programs that compile. In C++ you need to understand borrowing to avoid writing programs that use undefined behaviour.

Yes, it's a different experience, but both have the same concept of borrowing that you must understand.
Now realize people do that with politics, science (climate change), etc.
> I would love it if there were no ads.

So would I; they're disfiguring ugly.

So would you ban shop signs? What about a shop-sign that simply said "Cafe"? Or "Meals"? That would be the end of chain stores (which I would not regret).

I don't mind shop signs; I do mind posters all over the street-scene.

The Post Office delivers about 4X as much unaddressed junk advertising pizzas and estate agents than real mail, and I object to that. In this country (UK), anyone can stuff whatever junk they like in your mailbox; in the US, I believe only USPS can put anything in your mailbox. Are USPS allowed to deliver unaddressed pizza fliers?

The best argument in favour of advertising is that it makes it possible for a new entrant to a market to make an impression; without it, markets would always be dominated by incumbents, give or take the occasional surprise. I don't know how to capture that benefit, without ending up with the whole world covered in billboards.
How long are the contracts you're finding? And are you doing multiple at once? In the UK I struggle to see any contracting less than full time and six months. At which point, without annual leave, it feels like a much worse deal than an 0.8 FTE remote job.
I don't hate this idea. Having an adjunct to therapy- really, a vastly souped-up ELIZA- that can gently talk back could be valuable.

My real issue here is that there are no privacy protections around any of it. Your conversations with GPT-3 in a therapeutic/journaling context might be mined and/or exposed just as easily as your attempts to get it to generate shitposts. Back in the day you had to do a heist to steal someone's therapist's notes and physically steal a filing cabinet:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-worlds-most-famou...

At least information you give to a therapist mostly stays in their head, and unless they have a very good memory, naturally blurs over time. Information you give GPT-3 can sit in a database, attached to your name, perfectly preserved indefinitely.

Really every texting-therapy service has this issue, not just automated ones. At least you have to go out of your way to archive a video or audio call, but text can just get blindly copied around systems forever.

You can run using your own OpenAI key by setting 2 environment variables:
(1) SKETCH_USE_REMOTE_LAMBDAPROMPT=False
(2) OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

To run entirely locally (using your own GPU and a model like Bloom) one would have to add a new prompt type to `lambdaprompt` (the package that this depends on), have a machine with enough GPU resources, and then add a slight modification to sketch.
Putting them in parallel increases the amperage. My guess is they mean the inverters are expensive.

> Of course there is extraction of a raw pointer or reference. But that's a perfectly normal way of writing C++.

No, it isn't. That's flagged by default settings of most static code analysis tools, and it requires explicitly going against the whole point of explicitly assigning ownership of an object.
The issue is that everyone needs at least one or two customisations that they can't live without, even though they don't need all of them. And so they end up installing gnome tweaks which is a buggy mess which will never be fixed, as with most third party extensions.

In comparison, even though there are a lot of bugs in KDE, they will eventually be fixed, given that most customisations are first party.
Rentals sometimes charge 10 dollars a gallon if you return it below where you got it.

It's not because they then go to a gas station to refill it. They just rent the car to the next customer with only 3/4 of a tank and hope that second customer returns it full.
The one non-compete clause that I signed was very permissive. There was a short list of companies I could not sign with for a year. I felt it was pretty fair to be honest. Otherwise, I do not sign them.

I don’t think any technique is inherently bad: imperative, global variables, and even “goto” can be used wisely to solve problems.

Functional programming (similarly type systems) is another great technique to use when you have constraints that you’d like to be automatically enforced by the compiler (referential transparency, equational reasoning, etc.)

When I have to use a language that doesn’t allow expressing problems functionally when that would be the ideal expression of it, I feel I’m using the wrong tool for the job.
we'll see about that. It does not seem to be true for the Leaf batteries. These early 24kwh models have replacement batteries costing like 11-12k. Based on the rapid depreciation of the car's value(how many people want a car that can only go 80ish miles?) that battery pack price makes it a non starter for many people.

I am looking forward to third parties hopefully releasing their own packs. How would you warranty and insure them though? Also forget about third party packs for Tesla. They have so much integration that I doubt you'll see anything other than replacement packs from Tesla.
That is not how write-offs work. It is strictly better for the company to sell the vehicles for their fair market value than to write them down to below market value and sell them at that lower value. (You would not write them off entirely - that would be absurd.)

Writing something down/off means that you're asserting the asset has less/no economic value left, and you can basically treat the delta between its book value and the written down value as an expense for taxation purposes. But if you e.g. write off a car from its real value of $10k to $0, it'll reduce your corporate taxes by $3k, and means you can't rent the car or sell it. So why write it off, rather than sell it for $10k? $10k > $3k.

I don’t know if there is value for others, but, for me, there is probably negative value in doing what you described. I’d much rather not talk with anyone about Hume or equivalent, than talk to an AI mimicking them.
Option 1: The labor pool is a free market. This means that companies are free to choose who to hire, and workers are free to choose who to work for. Non-compete agreements prevent the latter, and so the market becomes inefficient.

Option 2: The labor pool is a class struggle, in which employees exploit their workers. Non-compete agreements of a form of exploitation, tying a worker’s livelihood to a single employer.

Option 3: Employees belong to the company they work for. Non-compete agreements codify this natural relationship. Hiring a different company’s employee is a form of theft, and is called “poaching”.

Option 4: Any voluntary, informed contract is valid. Non-compete agreements are one such contract. Forbidding non-compete agreements is an unjust restriction.

Under options 1 or 2, non-compete agreements are clearly unethical. Option 3 requires accepting an unethical premise. Option 4 requires stretching the terms “voluntary” and “informed” to apply to Morton’s Fork.

I’d put the question another way: Given the negative effects of non-competes, why should they be allowed?
Thanks for sharing your notes; I love to see how others think and organize information!

Definitely have some ideas like budgeting and tagging (your "@"?).

How do you feel about the more free-form style versus a more structured style Turas? Do you think Turas should have some features which are less structured?
Mac was already beating Windows machines on x86, when it came to battery life (especially when you consider battery size, too—the actually efficiency was much higher). I dunno how much they beat them on claimed battery life (because IME Apple is way, way more honest about how long their laptops run on battery, than PC vendors are) but real-world it was like 1.5-2x, for a same-sized battery on similarly-powerful hardware.

Their iOS devices were also wildly more efficient than Android devices for years (may still be—I haven't had much exposure to Android devices in three or four years) despite both being on the same processor architecture, so it wasn't the architecture per se making them more efficient.

Apple just seems to be the only major vendor that cares much about power efficiency at a software level. There's absolutely a ton of room for improvement on x86—Apple proved it when they were still on that architecture.
Investing Isn't Hard
As far as I know, Elon Musk has no medical background. Wikipedia tells me he has degrees in economics and physics and was a cofounder of PayPal. I'm less familiar with the other three you list and in the interest of brevity won't bother to profile each of them.

Medical internet literacy absolutely includes educating people that wealth, fame and a willingness to generously and frequently share your personal opinions about everything under the sun, whether you have any expertise or not, does not make you someone people should take medical advice from, especially during a pandemic.
One could obviously make all sorts of jokes about the poor, de-nighted city slickers...

But my first serious thought is "given this data about deep and widespread human ignorance of the sky, how seriously should any report of a UFO be taken?"

I think that list just emphasizes the parents point. The majority of games are getting by without dedicated physics sandboxes.
I think the fact that unburning CO2 requires input of energy is a salient factor.

You can get 12 g of carbon for 22.4 L of CO2. 1 L (liquid) of gasoline weighs about 750 g. So to get 1 L of gasoline you will need to process at least 63 L of CO2, and since there are about 400 ppm of CO2 in air (that is, 400 / 1e6 = 0.0004), you will need to process 158,000 L of air for one L of gasoline. Assuming 100% efficiency. A box fan can do 70,000 L of air in a minute, so 26.6 L of gasoline/hr (7.0 gal/hr). At a price of $4/gal, this is $28/hr, if electricity is free, you have 100% efficiency, and you can sell the gasoline for retail prices without transporting it. Obviously, you'll need to scale this up. But how long does this take to recoup your capital investment in the equipment and R&D? And would it be more profitable just to buy some KO/AAPL/BERK/QQQ stock? Or buy some real-estate, or whatever other investment possibilities there are?

But is electricity really free? And for how long, in what location? What are the transport costs from that location? If you can only profitably produce 8 hours of the day (e.g. night, as hypothesized), it takes three times as long to pay back your investment. Multiply that by at least 2, since I think 100% efficiency is unlikely (I think 50% is unlikely, too, but I'll be generous).

There is also the problem of how do you ensure that you aren't "polluting" the area around your intake with CO2-free air.
I consider writing that article/post without any occurrence of the string eliza a clever form of trolling or at least something closely related. Some kind of lowball exercise for the reader or meta-joke.

I’m not a Tesla fanboy, but what’s wrong with being one? If someone is getting enjoyment from something in life, isn’t that a good thing? Is it rational to love the sports team that just happens to be where to live, regardless of circumstance? Most aesthetic decisions in life aren’t “scientific” and cold.

Nothing, I think, since there’s no indication the normalized email will be used to send email.

Serious question: why would I want to use this? Is the answer as simple as “because I want to develop in Python”?.

Because if you’re going to do it in Rust, why not just go all the way with something like Axum?

That being said, first time I hear about WSGI/ASGI, so I did some reading. From an educational perspective I’m intrigued and even will check the codebases at some point to see how it works.

But from a production POV I do not get why I would want to use it. What’s so great about it - besides letting you develop a reasonably fast server in Python, surely it is more then that?
The Need to Protect the Data in Our Brains
I think the root issue on sleep is Microsoft/vendor induced - this issue only really began when Microsoft introduced connected/modern standby, and started to incite OEMs to remove BIOS/UEFI support for S3 sleep.

It seems unfathomable - maybe there is a valid reason for modern standby, but I've yet to find it. S3 resume is quick on a good laptop with good firmware. Modern sleep seems to drain the laptop battery quickly for some reason, and yet this has been going on for years now.

Maybe standby drain isn't part of the Windows logo requirements and ought to be?
No, I disagree. I don't take his misreadings of these cases as incidental at all. They are all purposeful and with the point of minimizing what racial discrimination is. He's not misreading wickard because of his beliefs about commerce. He's back reading heart of atlanta into it because he doesn't like anti discrimination laws. Thats perfectly apparent from his posts. Feel free to disagree if you must insist. But he's just couching his terms. One not need to explicitly state what they make clear they believe. Frankly, your post is almost as obtuse as the other as to throw into question your own judgment.
This sounds absolutely amazing and possibly life changing.

However, having it run as a centralized service instead of a firewalled local application is quite simply dystopian.
We report them when we find them (to Github, PyPI, NPM, etc). Unfortunately the process on the other side isn't super quick. For example, we reported some malware to NPM on Dec 31, 2022 and received an email from them stating they were starting their investigation on Jan 9, 2023. The people responsible for removal are simply inundated with malware reports.

For GitHub, they just seem to be a bit more careful in what they remove. Malware (and other security related code) _can_ be used for educational purposes. As such, they aren't as quick to nuke this stuff from the site.

See their acceptable use policy:

> Note that GitHub allows dual-use content and supports the posting of content that is used for research into vulnerabilities, malware, or exploits, as the publication and distribution of such content has educational value and provides a net benefit to the security community. We assume positive intention and use of these projects to promote and drive improvements across the ecosystem.

Even when they do act, it can be slow, unfortunately.
This seems unwieldy because people change jobs for reasons beyond their own immediate salary.

Maybe I want to make a lateral move because I'm unhappy with my boss or my commute. What if I'm moving because my partner found a new/better job elsewhere, or I want to be closer to my extended family?

You can try to put a monetary value on some of these (pay my commute?) but I don't think you could "buy me out" of moving for an ailing parent or sick kid.
I feel that one of the big flaws in our tax system is that while the growth rate of wealth rises exponentially, taxation does not. Taxation should be used to change the exponential growth curve to a linear one.
