Wow, this reminds me of Google: another great-sounding thing I didn't hear about until after it was canceled.
No. In most areas the legislative branch has delegated their authority to the executive branch, and appointed bureaucrats write the regulations. This is a problem due to lack of accountability. I hope that the Supreme Court will eventually eviscerate the authority of the executive branch to write regulations. If something needs to be regulated then Congress ought to pass a specific law about it, not pass the buck.

Those are just subsets of R though (though I think your last example would take more work to make rigorous, if it's even possible).

The weirdness of the axiom of choice only really comes through when you consider bigger and bigger collections of sets.

For example:

- sets indexed by the natural numbers: S_1, S_2, ...
It seems totally reasonable that you should be able to make a new set by picking something from the first set, something from the second set, etc

- sets indexed by continuous time (i.e. real numbers). Here it's a bit less 'obvious'. If I have sets S_t for _every_ time t > 0, can I really make choices 'fast' enough? What if the sets are so unstructured that I'm forced to stop and look at each set in turn to make my choice?

- sets indexed by the power set of the real numbers. If you weren't convinced that I'd struggle to pick elements of S_t for all t > 0, what if I had to make a choice for every _possible combination_ of real numbers, infinite or otherwise?

I feel like the last example demonstrates how powerful the full axiom of choice actually is.

NB - I'm a dilettante rather than an actual logician, so there may be mathematical inaccuracies here.
This puts it in a weird place because if you interpret the evidence in light of the theory, it's not really usable as evidence that the theory is right, because it ends up begging the question of why we should believe the theory in the first place.

That said, agriculture did radically transform society, as several other technologies have done since then. I do think this is worth highlighting, it just comes off better when it's not coming from someone trying to sell you on an ideology.

Because I bet that their idea of 'egalitarian' only includes castes like priests and kings, but not men & women, and we know those groups were quite different all over the world until the technology of birth control upended things.

In my frank opinion, Sundar is the worst performing of the FAANG leaders. He reminds me of Ballmer's flat growth, but perhaps much worse - we'll know the true scope of the damage soon.

His leadership has put Google's single biggest revenue stream in the cross hairs of competitors, and Sundar should have seen it coming. He's done nothing to secure Google's future or broaden the company's revenue sources.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that Google has been unable to move the needle on cloud. This despite the fact that Google had the best in the business once upon a time.

There's no innovation out of this company - only vanity projects, product cancellations, and in-fighting. Google's sparkle is decades in the rear view mirror. I'd describe them as the Walmart of computing, but even Walmart is formidable. Google is paper thin.

Microsoft's Nadella, by contrast, is a phenom. Developers (Github, VSCode), Cloud, and B2B (Office, LinkedIn) are kicking ass. I don't even think about their consumer-facing stuff much anymore, because the rest of their offerings are so good. Their choice to invest in OpenAI is really paying off too.

Google is fat. Fat, lethargic, and dumb. It's not somewhere worth working at until they axe the incumbent leadership. Their stock option-based comp is going to take a rough tumble, especially if they don't show a willingness to reverse course immediately.

Microsoft is going to eat Google's lunch.

Some things this article doesn't touch on (although maybe the complete book does), which come up when translating into other languages. I'm not saying there are no solutions to these, but they are interesting (and for those who believe, important) questions.

1) How to translate names of animals and other concepts that are unfamiliar in the target culture, e.g. "sheep" into Inuit.

2) Whether to translate a given word in the same way in each instance of the word. Suppose you're translating into a Mayan language, where "bread" is an unfamiliar concept. Jesus refers to "breaking bread" (literal sense) and "the bread of life" (metaphorical sense, for which a translation as tortilla might be better).

3) How to translate a word where the target language makes unavoidable distinctions that the source language does not. In Tzeltal, there is a word for "older brother" and a word for "younger sibling", but no word for "brother, whether younger or older". When the Bible refers to Peter and his brother Andrew, which word do you use?

Lots more...

> his own ethical concerns aside for a little while

everyone does this. In fact, surveillance is not an "ethical" concern.

It is just a concern from the standpoint of potential misuse. And no one thinks they themselves are going to misuse the powers they have. Everyone else is concerned that their powers will be one day misused. And misuse means the powers being used against people who everyone else associates with. No one cares if the powers are misused against "bad" people like pedophiles or terrorists or the person who murdered someone's sister.
Well, my advice was really about trying to convince “the elites” as you say, that you are “one of them”. Which is a thing that can be done, pedigree helpful but optional.

My summary view of much of Microsoft, and more of tech, is that, while a lot of the software is really good, too often the corresponging explanations and documentation are not.

There seems to be a theme that the user should learn to use the software via experimentation. To me, that too often results in too much clicking, and when finally I do see I take notes, i.e., document some of the software.

Governments have really dropped the ball in terms of de-escalating the perception of covid. Once the vaccines were available, and it was clear that Covid has become endemic, governments should have made it abundantly clear that the disease should not be treated any differently than the cold or flu.

Instead, we are seeing the effects of prolonged fear over covid. For instance, child ICUs were full as RSV ravaged classrooms filled with children with weak immune systems.

Multiple people I know have had extremely important medical appointments, e.g. the first OB visit during pregnancy, that they had to push back because of a Covid infection. The government should be telling people that the risk / reward tradeoff of such a decision is not worth it.

Google was always "evil"[0]. They've never done support; the entire business model was "automate everything at scale". The "don't be evil" thing, aside from being a jab at Microsoft, was backed up mostly with talk about short-term vs long-term profits, rather than not taking all the cake on the table for themselves.

[0] Assuming your definition of "evil" includes "don't answer support calls to save a buck".

To the extent to which you can form that indexed collection of sets in the first place, surely you can form a similarly indexed collection of elements of them the same way. How can you say you've formed a non-empty set if you can't select an element of it? If we permit ourselves to form this indexed collection "lazily", surely we can do the choice "lazily" as well. (Just my intuition about these things)

Org Mode supports a simpler and more manual form of this, by giving you three different repeater types on timestamps.

See https://orgmode.org/manual/Repeated-tasks.html for official manual, but in short:

- <2023-01-23 Mon +6d> - completing a task with such timestamp will move the time forward by 6 days. If you were supposed to do it 20 days ago, you'll have to complete it three times before it's no longer overdue (and becomes scheduled to 4 days from now, i.e. 4x6 - 20).

- <2023-01-23 Mon ++6d> - completing a task with such timestamp will move the time forward by however many 6-day increments it takes to get it at least 6 days ahead of now. E.g. if the task is overdue for 20 days, completing it now will make it due in 10 days (four 6-day increments are enough for the due date to be in the future, but you need an extra 6-day increment for due date to be at least 6 days in the future).

- <2023-01-23 Mon .+6d> - completing a task with such timestamp will move the due date to 6 days after today. If the task was 20 days overdue and you complete it now, the next due date is in 6 days.

These behaviors have some extra variations depending on whether the timestamp contains the hour/minute part, and on what unit is used for the increment - e.g. the difference between ++7d and ++1w is that the latter will ensure the task stays on the same day of the week as previously.

The lockdowns and other societal effects of Covid could also play a role. Alcoholism is way up, along with other substance abuse issues. Shutting down office culture removed a substantial fixture of individuals social lives. Rather than supporting wfh - many companies forced new hires to move to cities just to work in tiny apartments where they know no one.

It’ll take ages for the statisticians, sociologists, and economists to sort out exactly what was happening between 2020 and 20XX when society settles down.
Are US criminals also 60x more violent? I feel like these stats are related. You can probably correlate them with guns and economy in some way as well.

State machines are useful when the same input/event requires different handling based on the current state. There are not that many applications when this is true. Most of the time only two handlers in each state are needed, success and failure, which are much better modeled through a normal code than an explicit state machine.

At the framework level they might be pretty useful, but they rarely appear at the first version, but as a result of refactoring.
Ugh the Lost thing was so infuriating.
Most people attempt to achieve Idempotence whenever possible, and there are several reasons this is desirable in HA systems. Fundamentally, the REST paradigm broke peoples brains, and set many projects on a doomed trajectory into the sun.

That being said, for some types of problems a high-latency finite state machine greatly simplifies the complexity of handling data stream consolidation efficiently. The trick is knowing when it should be avoided like in shared-state awareness problems... you know, the "lets pause the internet while I do this one op" guy we all work with sometimes... =)

Tools are tools, their importance in history doesn't change the relationship we have with them, you can say it change the relationship between humans when a particular tool is used, but it feels kinda delusional believing that somehow I will have a different relationship between two inanimate objects like an hammer or a printing press.

EDIT: you added an edit with a metaphor that talks about numbers, but also no, I would not have a different relationship between two abstract concepts like 1.5 or pi, I would use them when necessary.

> but you get to select the worst-performing people.

Anecdotally I'm not necessarily seeing this. Amazon's cuts were concentrated in groups. Some parts of Amazon, like AWS were essentially untouched, except for recruiters. In a comment a few days ago I pointed out that the headlines could have said "Amazon pulls back on Alexa efforts", "Amazon reduces its bet on retail" rather than just the number of people...though that would have hurt the stock price, while cutting people often raises it :-(. And AWS appears to still be hiring at some rate (source: couple of friends who mentioned interviewing candidates in the past couple of weeks). I am sure, of course, that if Amazon did cut half of the Alexa team, where they had a choice they chose the lower performing one.

The same is true of Microsoft's cuts, AFAICT. Slaughter in the hololens team, for example.

Google's cuts seemed to include some people I have worked with in the past and who are IMHO good. Notably they are long termers, though, so perhaps google was considering people who were more expensive. My gf mentioned to me that someone she knew was laid off, and they had just been promoted.
