People who keep tabs perpetually open are strange. I'd like to observe their browsing habits to find out they actually use the web. When i'm done with a website, I close the tab. I sometimes meet people who have 100+ tabs open and it's like meeting those people who claim they have no inner monologue, or people who don't like chocolate. Just total space alien behavior.

Sounds like the problem is poor documentation and project management.

Speaking as someone who builds massive web projects for a billion dollar company, I can state that nothing you describe is necessary if you document your work, maintain standards, and have recurring maintenance events.

CSS maintenance is not hard. It's just boring.

You were doing fixed floating headers 20 years ago? Now I know who to blame ;-)
The distinction is very practical. It's better to think about it in terms of hard-coded limits vs. arbitrary scaling than finite vs. infinite. Anything designed to handle n items needs "infinite" memory.

Language classes are about the code, not about the computer. With a finite state automaton, you have to commit to the size of the input in advance and write the state transitions explicitly. While there exist structurally similar automata that can handle larger inputs, your automaton – your code – cannot handle them. You can generate those automata algorithmically, but in order to do that, you need a more expressive formalism that can handle n items.
Considering how generous the severance is (a good thing), I wonder if it will even save them much money this year (granted, there will probably be some resignations from people that disagree with the direction).
YouTube may be unkillable, but how much money do they make? Especially, what does the RoI look like compared to Twitch and TikTok?
That would let me derive your mother's phone number. https://xkcd.com/704/

It's different because there's nothing that says such a choice function _cannot_ exist (short of an axiom that says explicitly so).

I'm just following your lead. You were the one who brought up "gas stations."

>For everything else(70% of oil use), it's an open question

Not really. Road use is ~50% .[1] It's all going BEV, like it or not.

Agriculture is another 10%. Ditto.

The technology improvement curves speak for themselves. ICE and H2 have both plateaued near their theoretical limits.

I intentionally said "ground vehicles," not private cars.

I can confirm that private playlists are accessible by their link even in an incognito window. That is surprising to me. Has that always been the case?

Google has all the pieces of the puzzle to infuse better LLM tech into their products, infact most of the technology in ChatGPT came from Google research efforts. If they want to compete they need to remove the red tape bureaucracy they have around launching products. There may be too much randomness in this tech to get past the launch line, but it depends how they integrate it. An actually useful Google Assistant infused into products, that helps you find information, complete tasks and create content seems like a no-brainer.

> the logical extension of those technologies is to design and build biological organisms

A friend of mine was doing her PhD on "implementing NAND gates in DNA" almost 10 years ago now. Microbiology is wild.

I think the distinction will be that humans aren't like designed/programmed biological organisms. At least until we are ...

Eugenics was controversial too. What's your point?

No naive rules of thumb like "well if the public health experts like it then it must be good" or "bigger overton window = better" will ever come close to being a viable replacement for critical thinking on any specific policy matter. If the extreme fringes can't convert people to their cause then is their cause really that worthy?
The thing is, infinity is extremely useful for taking things to the extreme. The halting problem is a very good example: as you rightly point out, the halting problem is trivially decidable for any finite Turing machine. However, the core of the argument remains true, we just need to complicate it significantly if we want to remain within the realm of finite machines: instead of saying "there is no TM that can decide if any arbitrary TM halts", we need to say something like "there is no finite TM that can decide if any TM smaller than itself halts in an amount of time less than that TM". They are equivalent concepts on some level, but the second one is significantly more complex, and harder to prove (assuming you don't appeal to the infinite version, from which it easily follows).

That is, even if you seek to do maths on finite but unbounded sets, you will find mostly the same properties that infinite sets have, but you'll have a much harder time working with the concepts. It's true that there are some problems that infinite sets have that unbounded finite sets don't, but those may well be a worthy price to pay.

And either way, regardless of intuition, the logic is valid. The Banach-Tarski "paradox" is perfectly logically valid, though unintuitive. So, even if you could say that it's useless and a result that we should avoid having in our theories, you can't say that it's wrong, since it doesn't violate any rule of logic.
you said they needed more support for existing products.
That's good but hardly good enough. No way they drove those deals without the CEO's buy-in.
Well, the same kind of cultural effects among the young exist in the Western world (the youth want to live in cities, not reproducing as much, problems with suicides, etc) and these are countries that are open and welcoming to foreigners and try and respect everybody of every race/gender/etc.

Therefore, I'm not seeing a strong case for Japan's problems being caused by them not being welcoming to foreigners because other countries are welcoming to foreigners and still have these problems in greater number today.
Sexual maturity means that an organism as reached the capability of to reproduce.

Looked around in the literature. Apparently consensus is that paleolithic hunter-gathers had menarche earlier than agricultural groups. Around the same age as the current averages in developed countries.

> A 7 figure exit leaves you set for life, but not rich in the sense of “can do things that a good tech salary doesn’t already let you do”.

Perhaps stating the obvious but that's far from true. In terms of buying things and experiences, that is true.

But a good tech salary brings with it a complete lack of free time to enjoy any of the things you could afford, having to work >>40hrs a week.

A 7 figure exit lets you have mostly the same stuff you could afford on the tech salary, but then you have all the time in the world to actually enjoy it.
Wouldn't work, since 5 is not a member of the set of indescribable numbers. I am still not sure that the original example is good, since serious difficulties with the axiom of choice have to do with infinite collections of sets, especially uncountably infinite, not with choosing a member of a single difficult-to-describe set. But you can't handle these non-describable numbers very easily.
I think that mcg/L, right? 200mg/L would be insane!
And that’s also not true. Cooking with Teflon or other types of non-stick cookware based on these types of chemicals will result in those chemicals contaminating your food. In particular, pre-heating non stick pans is particularly bad, as is the use of the wrong utensils which will cause physically perceptible particles of the material to end up in your food.

Any non stick pan comes with a warning you can’t use it in the same house/building as pet birds. Just like canaries in a coal mine, birds are highly susceptible to things which are also dangerous to humans. Just because it doesn’t kill you dead within minutes of turning on the burner does not make it safe.
My first "pocket calculator" was an HP-45. I still have one on my desk, although I rarely use it because I don't want to burn out the LEDs, which do not age well into their 4th and 5th decades. Instead I use an HP-45 simulator on my phone. Somehow it just feels right.
Interesting! I guess "snap" is quite a desirable verb for a screenshot tool name, haha.

I couldn't get snapper.com, so I replace "s" with "x" instead.

One thing I didn't know is that people tend to read it like "ex-snapper" or "znapper", which is unexpected to me (English is not my first language)
Additionally to the silbling comments - if the employer only offers USD payment, virtually all banks will offer some financial product to hedge against currency risk. This comes at a price, of course, but presumably the employer pays well enough that it's still worth it.
Streaming music has always been a very bad business. No matter how much Spotify grows, it will only make 30% gross margins. Almost the definition of a tech company is one that has high fixed costs and low to almost 0 marginal cost and can take advantage of scale. Spotify doesn’t have that.

At least with podcasts, they don’t have to pay a third party for each additional user.

Spotify suffers from the “Dropbox problem”. Streaming music is a feature not a product.
> I have a DM42, and it is great as an object to fetishize the past. But in all honesty, it doesn't get that much use because the vast majority of the time, if I need to calculate something I'm already at a computer and reaching for the calculate is just more effort than opening a spreadsheet or a terminal window.)

Same experience here. I have a drawer full of HP's that never get used. Either the computer or a phone is always at hand. This was definitely untrue during the calculator's professional heyday 30-40 years ago.

I do have a 42 emulator on my phone that I use for occasional light calculations (tips, etc.). I used too much RPN in my formative years to enjoy using an algebraic calculator.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an article or similar about implementing state machines? I've only used the simple "switch on an enum" variant (switch(stateVar) case STATE1: doWork(); stateVar = STATE2; break;). I think it's pretty elegant, but it's limited to small and simple problems.
It might make sense to line up another job first so that "I have another job" becomes a 100% honest explanation.

Odds are nobody will ask "why you were looking for another job?" because they really don't want to know.

Anyway being honest about "a bad manager" is even worse than you anticipate because you are also criticizing the judgement of the people who hired him.

Good luck.
Of course there are third party apps like Tasker that are much more capable than both action blocks and shortcuts.
I wonder if the set of undescribable numbers is well defined at all. It seems to run into the same problem as the "minimum un-interesting number is interesting" as a function chosing a number from that set would be a finite description of that number, removing it from the set. (This already happens if you could select a finite subset of those numbers, as finite numbers could be ordered and you could just select the minimum.)

edit: Hm... thinking about it. The finitely-many-symbols argument also only holds if you consider finitely many interpretations of those symbols and if there actually are only finitely many symbols.
I created Call Stacking - you can easily see what methods call which, in a nice nested visual timeline.

The analysis is all done passively, as the methods are being called, no breakpoints needed. E.g. a new, onboarding engineer could easily see the most important methods for a given API endpoint.

It's not directly manipulable, but it does give the feeling of "ohhhh, THIS is what my program is doing."

I think Bret would be proud.

Apple’s contribution is in things like the ‘neural engine’ architecture in their chips which potentially offers ways to run ML models locally as part of the functionality of software running on your device. That’s probably a much more exciting contribution to widespread adoption of these technologies than a fight between cloud services.

And it’s what is more likely to lead to smarter autocomplete too.

Look at https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/neural-engine-tra... for example.

>This doesn’t make sense to me. Hydrogen is not an energy source

Hydrogen is often compared against batteries. Those aren't an energy source either. I haven't seen anyone seriously propose hydrogen based powerplants. I have seen plenty talk about hydrogen fuel cells as a potential alternative to BEVs and a potential way to get around the multiple short comings of lithium batteries. Fuel cells of course have their own problems. But we've yet to come up with an alternative to gas engines that are as long ranged, quick to fuel, reliable, cost effective, safe and performant while also being net zero or negative carbon.

>So the only way this seems like a win for Japan is if electricity were cheap, battery EVs were not economical, and the loss associated with electrically synthesized hydrogen didn’t matter.

I feel like you are handwaving the issues with BEVs while focusing on the issues with hydrogen. I'm not sure which at the end of the day will turn out to be better. But right now BEVs are incapable of becoming the defacto solution for the simple fact that the battery packs wear out and replacing them will total the car. You can't develop a working used market this way. And lower income individuals simply can never afford to use them. The fact that car markers are going out of their way to design platforms with batteries that are difficult to replace exacerbates the problem. But even if they were easily swapped, their high cost and the fact they are tied to the vehicle means a large chunk of the market can't afford them. And nobody is talking about this.
Very well written non-religious version of a book like “the power of now”
By any conventional American definition, Sibley is rural bumfuck Iowa. All of rural (respectfully) bumfuck America is dotted with little hamlets like Sibley where people actually live, so if you're trying to deny that it's rural, you're really denying that rural America exists at all.
The most relevant definition seems to be "1: liable to be called to account : responsible"

I still don't see any implication of consequences.

The saving isn't that obvious because they might need to hire contracters (sometimes even the same worker) to make up for the lost workforce.

Also severance packages are expensive! In addition to all the costs associated with a big layoff plan like this one.
This comment resonates with me. I've been working on accepting the idea that I'll never do all the things I want to, and that's a good thing.

If you, dear reader, have ADHD that presents like mine does, try to find peace in that you'll never ever be bored. Nah, we'll never see all of these wonderful ideas to completion, but the ones that stick are the most important anyways.
This is a hill I am also willing to die on.

Last time this annoyed me, I did a thorough look at the Go source code to figure out how accurate calling the language "Go" is. Basically, aside from the mailing lists and bug tracker URLs, "golang" only appears in one place; the ppc64 port contributed by IBM. Everywhere else in the code, it refers to itself as "Go".
Big cores and little cores sharing an AVX-512 implementation could be funny.
Definitely true. I'm not here to say that no one else can or should enjoy the show, or that it's unique in having aged poorly in some respects. But the problems with that episode and later ones (which are not entirely one note about Douglas' relationship with the transgender woman, despite the very painful fight scene and the overwhelming fact that being transgender is the punchline) are real and not made up, and I can understand why they'd be deeply uncomfortable to many people.

> Whether a show came out in 1955 or 1999, I just enjoy it as a product of it's time.

This is great when one can do it, and I think it's a fine approach. But of course, if you were gay in 1955 or trans in 1999, there's probably a lot of shows where certain issues— common enough at the time— would have really diminished your enjoyment and maybe even triggered some dysphoria, even 'at the time'.
I am just waiting for the personal I formation train to get to include my listening history and like/dislike behaviour.

There should be an XML/JSON standard to store, download and share that information. I've got a listening history in last.fm, another in spotify, another in Tidal an finally in youtube. I should be able to use them together in any platform. My listening habits is also my personal information.

>I find it weird how hostile to hydrogen the "renewable energy gang" is.

Well, hydrogen is essentially a scam and giant energy sink.

>The story of how renewables take over the world and displace fossil fuels and nuclear totally relies on storage

Sure, and compressed hydrogen is a terrible battery

>Does hydrogen work for it? Well, maybe, it could, there are unresolved issues but hey we are trying to do science here.

Hydrogen isn't being pushed by "science", because it's a bad idea at the physics level. It's being pushed as a greenwashing/scam by the oil industry.
It feels like a pure bandwagon action, and not one that was well thought out and came from the organization’s needs.

To give one data point, I have a friend who just joined Spotify and had his first working day last week.

I am a group manager with over 28,000 members. To join you'll need to pay $2.50 in ETH to our public wallet for full access.
Spotify should serve both audiences: consistency and discover new ones.

I think Apple Music got it right. I like how you can start a radio of any song. Or just play your own favorites.
There's no real long-term dependence. Going off the meds just returns me to my natural, dysfunctional self. I don't usually do that because it's disruptive without benefit.

The first type I tried happened to be right for me, so I didn't experience any negative effects. I did experiment with dose, though. Getting it right just feels like being more awake, which is how I describe the ability to choose where I hold my focus.
"Browse the albums of a particular artist and play it – this is becoming harder and harder"

So much agreement here - of the most annoying things to me is that I can't just click on an artist and have an easy way to list every song by that artist.
I confess I don't get the big ticket podcast exclusives. But, then, I basically never listed to any of the "big name" talk radio shows either (and even actively avoided them).
> It was a Casio, and it was AWESOME at the time. I wish I still had it.

Casio 7000? I remember those being truly trendsetting. (And some of the later Casio's even introduced color.)
Thing is though, I have probably thrown 3K into Spotify, If I cant get a "Flat rate subscription for All / Most of the music out there" - > I will 100% just go back to downloading discographies of the artists I like.
