That's not what "Effective Altruism" is. [1]

Effective altruism plays the game where you can say "What's better, to give $10 today, or should I invest that $10 and then give it away when I die?" It's all about coming up with scenarios like this where you can justify selfishness because "eventually, the amount of good I'll do will pay off".

It's popular with the rich and famous because they can justify building huge empires and hording large amounts of resources (while spending a bit on themselves of course) because, some day, they'll give back what they made.

It's quiet literally the philosophy SBF used in the FTX fiasco to justify setting up a ponzie scheme.

Do you have a link where I can actually see the study?

It must depend on the situation. And how drunk is their comparison line? And how long does that impairment last?

All of that is needed to know the size of the problem. Maybe it's a really big deal. Or maybe someone reaches "this wouldn't have even counted as DUI in 1970" for a few seconds and it's fine.
How is that any different from looking at human art?
Depends on the benchmark, and how it actually matters in production code.
What's a mistruth? Why not just use the word lie
Couldn’t tell you, but who would ultimately have to answer for payouts being incorrect, etc.? I’m imagining hundreds or thousands of questions like “why am I only getting $2 this quarter when I got $10 last quarter”
Thank you for sharing, this was an interesting read and very clearly written.
> (page unknown, ebook copy, chapter 27)

page 148 in the physical book, at least my copy.

However, you leave out the following section titled "Clean Check-in" in which Beck argues the exact opposite when working on a team. Clearly it's the days before git and trusting code to sit on your PC overnight without checking it in (I, too, would not trust Windows98 with code that long).

But this is the general problem with the book and TDD. It's outdated and overrated. The book is not a well-written book, even for year 2000 standards, and I'm quite surprised people are still referencing a 20 year old book that is almost entirely composed of trivial examples using Java classes and objects. It is my least favorite tech book on my shelf.

> leaving a failing test at the end of the day

As far as this point goes, you pretty much have to. The TDD methodology, per the book, is to get to green as fast as possible. If you are testing for a function to have inputs of 5 and 2 and expect an output of 10 then the book literally tells you to do:

function() {
return 5 * 2;
}

What's going to happen is you write that code, get distracted or need to quit for the day, and you come back and your test is green. You forget that you wrote some total shit like the above and move on to the next Jira ticket.

As a methodology or system it's just bad. Imagine instead of writing the implementation to pass the tests that you instead are writing tests for some AI to "implement". You set the inputs and the expected outputs and the AI goes to work and does the implementation. In AI this would be called overfitting. Yes, the tests pass. But only for the cases you wrote. There is no guarantee your code works for the general case. Now replace AI with you and the same thing will happen. If all you care about is green tests you're liable to stop thinking of what the implementation should be doing.

Sure, you won't do that. But I promise you people, in general, do. One code base I worked on had minimum coverage required. More than half of the tests were total garbage. They either tested nothing useful, or were false positives that could never fail (because no one knows to check for failure, ever!). This is the opposite scenario, but the same outcome. It's the difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Give the people a rule to follow and they will mindlessly follow it.

Agile and TDD are both too nuanced and leave too much up for interpretation that it's no surprise we continually see debate on "true TDD" or "true Agile".

There are useful ideas in TDD. But this would be better packaged and sold as "here are some ways to build software under X scenario." These are techniques applicable to a time and place and not a paradigm.

Elizabeth Holmes Tried to Leave the US After Fraud Conviction, Prosecutors Claim
Five Questions
Hello,SkyFI founder and majority share holder. Satellite imagery as a stalking tool is more science fiction/ fantasy for a number of reasons.

1. Resolution just isn't sharp enough and never will be to discern individual persons identity.

2. Latency, it takes time to upload an order the order. Satellite has to pass iber a groundstation to receive command,then be in pistion to take photo then pass iver ground station to download. Then go to post processing, QC then delivery. While latency may improve ot would ne uneconomic and practically useless due to 1.
3. Clouds. Unfotunately clouds appear and would make persistent surveillance even if you had the resolution(you don't) unlikely.

It's much easier and cheaper and infinitely more effective to use tags,ad tech on mobile phones and plain on PI for that type of stalking.

I hope this clarifies your concerns

Actually, "глобус" is just the Russian word for the familiar model of the globe (like those found in classrooms), which is what this thing is. No mystery there :)

> No doubt similar systems were installed on the soviet ICBMs

I very much doubt it. This is a display unit. Has zero purpose on an uncrewed system.

Furthermore ballistic missiles remain suborbital. This device is usefull to track your position on orbit.

Ballistic missiles don’t reenter using retro rockets, so showing the reentry point to the no-existing crew in case they activate the non-existing retro rockets has limited usefullness either.

In short ICBM’s don’t have this or similar systems for the same reasons they don’t have cuckoo clocks. They are not usefull there.
Google Maps uses aerial photos past a certain level of magnification, if it is available in a given area, even if it's still labelled as "satellite".

If you compare areas where there are no such photos - e.g. large natural parks - the hi-res samples on their website don't look any worse to me than Google.

They have internal ECC coz that allows them to have higher yields, what could be considered faulty chip in DDR4 can be now sold in DDR5. So it is effectively cost-reducing measure for them. Exposing that to the user not only would cost extra pennies, but potentially have uses go "hey, this stick is shit, look at how many correctable errors it is producing, please replace it"

I’ve always thought of it more like “will slam on their breaks” than “turn into a wall”. In most states, rearending is your fault unless the person in front of you stopped faster than is normal (i.e. was hit head on by an oncoming car), and I think that sets a good standard for what you should be prepared for.

If a tree falls on the car in front of you and you hit them because they stopped instantly, it’s hardly your fault.
Kind of makes me wonder what would have happened if all the cars involved had been on autopilot. Would there have been a collision at all?
The Xeon based Macs had ECC of course. None of the ARM ones do (yet)
Entirely depends on error rate
This reminds me of how bitmessage works. You'd not know if a message was for you without trying to decrypt it so you just attempt to decrypt every message. They reduced the burden by using "streams" where your address might be on "stream 7" and everyone could tell a message was for stream 7 but not who for on that stream. So you'd only have to decrypt everything on the stream your address is on. With the more users being on a stream, the more anonymous it is but the more network and cpu work it is.
> In 2020 Kiory Baugh, then an ace 2nd grader in Grenada, Mississippi, was paddled by her principal even though she was on the no-paddle list. When Kiory came home from school she was in so much pain she could not sit down. The school told Julia, her mother, there was no need to take her to the hospital. Julia took her to the emergency room anyway, where the doctor told her he would have called the police if she had been hit outside of school. She missed seven days of classes to recover. After Julia complained to the district, Kiory’s teacher failed her. That summer Julia moved the family to Arkansas, where corporal punishment is less common.

Alternately, even if you are on a 'no-paddle' (wtf) list, your kid can still be badly abused by the school district with no recourse.

I get a lot of flak for saying this, but I do hope python committers and psf members take a hard look at perl and its demise. Perl had a very similar problem of having N equivalent choices for doing the same thing and python for better or worse is heading in the same direction.
In the last few yrs of my professional career many projects I worked, were on are migrating python -> golang cuz frankly many people were fed up of python2->3 migration.
Not that golang doesnt have it fair share of issues, but the the packaging and deploying aspects of a single binary makes CI/CD and operations a breeze. I hope python makes this is first class citizen in its ecosystem.
I doubt that would actually be useful with overclocking. I don't know the arch of the modern PC well enough to say with 100% confidence, but on embedded arches, the RAM has the parity bits checked when they get placed on the bus. If the error happens on data retrieval(or was already present) , then the ECC saves you, but if it happen anywhere else... not really? I don't know if.. ALU's for example automatically include the parity bits in the computation.
In my family we swap around portable hard drives loaded up with movies. Mostly orchestrated by my aunt who started the tradition. Before then, it was burned DVDs and before then it was copied VHS tapes. When I was a kid my mother showed me how to circumvent copy protection on VHS by connecting a VCR to a VHS camcorder, although I forget which was doing the playback and which was doing the recording. It was a neat way to circumvent macrovision though.

I don't know enough about node, but aren't there at least two or three package managers (npm, yarn, maybe pnpm)? Then there are half a dozen different things for the "build" / transpile / compile stage of frontend work, and

this has caused me to bounce off of getting into frontend work several times. It's so aesthetically displeasing that my brain doesn't want to learn it.
> When did Linux get so complicated?

When our needs got so complicated.

We have dynamic networking environments now, where a static DNS resolver configuration just doesn't make sense any more. And when one DNS server is unavailable, we like to have the system remember that and not try it every single time because the resolv.conf model doesn't allow different process to share that information.

Mostly backwards compatibility works fine if you just replace /etc/resolv.conf with a static file.

But if you do that, then various modern expectations will fail, such as what happens to your DNS when you connect to a VPN, or use the wifi at your local coffee shop, or your LAN connection dies and your laptop automatically switches to some available guest wifi or perhaps your phone hotspot.
No offense, but what makes you the authority on all driving everywhere? Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen on a pretty regular basis.

He's questioning whether the story even has addressable merits.

The story says the NHTSA report confirms FSD was on, but the story cites as its source and appears to have just cribbed their story from the CNN story.

The CNN story just says that the NHTSA confirms that Tesla's "controversial driver-assist software" was engaged and later says that the NHTSA has been investigating both Autopilot and Full Self Driving. There's nothing in the CNN story that tells if "controversial driver-assist software" is Autopilot or FSD.

CNN does not link to the actual NHTSA report. I could not find it with a brief search, and found on Reddit people who are much more familiar with NHTSA report procedures also failing to find out.

I wouldn't call the submitted article a "fake story" like he did. It's more a pointless story that has no good reason to exist and should be replaced with the CNN story and the CNN story's title.
There's some law on the books (Texas maybe?) about it being a hanging offense to engage in cattle wrustling. Perhaps I'm remembering it incorrectly.

This is likely to be a similar sort of law (or lack of a law saying it isn't allowed), where it may technically be true that this is allowed but realistically you would end up in all sorts of legal trouble for hitting students.
I think you should try out Julia, in that case. Julia installation and package management is extremely easy (MUCH easier than Python). The syntax is very similar to a cross between Matlab and Python, so it's easy to pick up if you're used to either of those--it's also a lot more readable than R. And it's way, way faster than either Python or Matlab.

Since this downward trend started around 2010, when I was in middle school and it seemed people where first getting on the internet en masse, I wonder if this trend is due to higher internet exposure in kids bringing widespread awareness to the financial reality of a humanities degree. It’s common to hear humanities degrees being derided on social media sites, but social media is also the only place I really hear these attitudes. I think this trend could be due to being more informed, as well as social pressure.
> Understand why you're in an argument and what you hope to accomplish by being in an argument.

There's a spectrum here, but I've noticed that a lot of people like to debate things online because they're genuinely trying to understand the problem set, or want to play around with ideas. They're not looking to "argue" necessarily. However, on the other end, some people do interpret any disagreement as an argument and will then turn the discussion into one that they will try to "win".

It can be frustrating if you're coming at it from a "discovery" perspective and the other person wants to fight, or you're coming at it from a fight perspective and the other one wants to discover. This happens in real life as well, but it's a little bit easier to communicate what your intent is based on your tone and expression.

Interesting idea if you aren't dealing with a heavy cloud cover like say Iowa or Illinois this might work. For taking pictures in a city this could be really useful.

But if you have to stay below the cloud cover you're going to probably cover no more than a township(?) at a time. If I have to send a guy out in a pickup who launches, grabs a photo, pulls it back in and then drives to the next township it is slow and expensive.

Really? It's published on a laptop review link farm populated mostly with presumptively-auto-generated content, not written by a journalist with a byline in any major publication. It makes a blockbuster claim for which it fails to cite sources (which should be trivially easy, since it's claiming the DOT "released a report"!). It's by an author who seemingly (see his history page) generates one hit piece on Tesla or Musk properties every few days.

If there's ever a fake source, this is it. If there was an NHTSA report corroborating this, then the direct link would be everywhere.

Yes, you're getting it exactly. This was for a personal project. The expected audience for it was my spouse and I and writing tests seemed like a nuisance. I don't even know why I started as getting the environment building in a testing harness was actually quite a bit of work. I noticed a benefit I didn't expect and wanted to share.

Did I not have a concrete idea of what TDD was when I wrote it? Yes. I had muddled test first development with test driven development as the two people I knew who were big on TDD were focused on TFD as they were refactoring large legacy codebases. I'm still murky on what TDD is (and it sounds like opinions differ) but I don't think I've discovered anything new. Just new to me.

BASIC had to work on tiny chips and not fill the entire ROM and RAM by itself. Probably that’s the reason. Later basics (Quick, Turbo) worked as “IDEs”.

As a side note, neither early DOS nor CP/M had a full screen editor either, afair iirc. Edlin (poor man’s ed) is my earliest memory, which was a line-oriented editor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edlin

Yes, that's true. Electromagnetics are part of solid state physics. I think there is a tradition to it too, as solid state electronics came to be about semiconductors, and I think still to this day, solid state has that connotation. For that reason I see no problem in calling this a solid state device.
