I've never lived out of subtropical climates... basically New Orleans and Dallas. The changes in seasons is always miserable for me. I've got seasonal allergies and also seasonal asthma. Back home in New Orleans, I was always fine from May until early October. And for the next half of the year, it's been a constant struggle with shortness of breath and sinus infections ever since I can remember.
It's not nitpicking. It's an attempt to evaluate

>whether his source is correct on the big picture or not

(which cannot be verified), based on the details that can be verified.

>another investigative reporter who would travel for months to Florida, Norway, etc. and try to dig into the story.

What would be one concrete specific claim that you'd try to dig into?

>Who would dare that?

The question of "why would someone want to bother" is still open for debate, and until that's settled, there's little use bringing in conspiratorial woo questions.

I don’t care either way who blew up the pipeline but to me the biggest glaring reason why I don’t think it’s the US is because Russia did not retaliate in any meaningful way.

Us peons are clueless about what happened but Russia knows and they would know if it was them. If it wasn’t them then it’s obvious who did It and escalating the war would be justified. The fact this didn’t happen to me suggests it was Russia all along.

I don’t agree that it’s elegant. A preprocessor directive or a function attribute makes it more obvious that the code it covers may be valid only in some conditions. On the other hand, if the language optimizes some `if` statements out, you may have invalid code without noticing — and not only in the case of OS-specific code, but possibly also regular code whose `if` condition became a compile-time constant, even unintentionally/temporarily/by mistake.

The remarkable thing about Medium was that it went downhill so quickly, or, compared to other platforms like Twitter, it started trying to make money early in the process of gathering an audience, which limited it's growth.

In my mind it never had a good reputation. Successful blogging has three elements: (1) writing a lot, (2) technically running your blog, and (3) promoting your blog. In principle Medium took (2) and (3) out of your hands so you could focus on (1) but I think Medium attracted a person who was too lazy to blog before and who is interested in working on (1) as little as they are on (2) and (3).

In principle you might make some money blogging on Medium but a lot of people blog to promote themselves or their business and the registration wall reduced their reach and actually damaged their personal brand because I think a lot of people felt it was annoying to have to register to read articles on a blogging platform that is just a bit worse than the rest of the web as opposed to just a bit better. (Certainly anyone whose Medium blog posts connected with someone has received an email telling them it's a shame that a good blogger is blogging on Medium)

It's a generalized loss of personal relations, so...

Those words would fit it if it was about a single person, but it's generalized. So there's nothing to get marginalized from.

I do favor "community dissolution" or on the extreme "society dissolution". You can find similar things in history to take lessons from (it doesn't end well), but you will need to go way further than what you are trying.

A couple of things wrong with wash sales:

1) I can't reap the benefit, because I don't have enough income to save for retirement (outside of my pension). If I did, like most people, I'd likely be saving in something like a 401(k) that is tax-deferred. Tax-deferred retirement accounts, by law, gain no additional tax benefit from a wash trade. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/what-if-my-401k-drops-in-value

2) You incentivize people to sell and buy additional securities outside of their normal investment planning. This will have a market distorting effect when compounded over many, many stockholders.

If you didn't have assets, you got a check for $2000.

It really cannot be overstated enough the wealth divide that pandemic QE created. The way things are you have to inflate assets by $100 for $1 to make it down to poverty level hands.

>For the linked article - it commits far more journalistic sins than Hersh's article - in an attempt to take it down. Through continued use of insinuation, analogies, and strawmen

Like what? Give some examples.

Hersh's article is just made up fiction. Hersh has a habit of making up "anonymous sources":

>As soon as he has made an assertion he cites a 'source' to back it. In every case this is either an un-named former official or an unidentified secret document passed to Hersh in unknown circumstances. ... By my count Hersh has anonymous 'sources' inside 30 foreign governments and virtually every department of the U.S. government.

That's pretty neat, indeed I'd never heard of this, or maybe I had once but I'd forgotten about it if so. I might counter that in a very long regex you'd want to do the assembly in multiple steps, but I can definitely see the appeal of inline comments (perhaps in addition to something like that). I'll try to keep this in mind for the next time I'm dealing with regex. Thanks for sharing!
Man, this guy really communicates effectively. He goes on and on but each new sentence has high information density. Solid share, thanks!
I agree that it'll be interesting to see. A primarily-wind Japan would be cool if it could be done, and it seems like a win/win.

I wonder if it still makes sense to keep nuclear energy around in the mix as a sort of backup, though. We've already got a ton of plants that could probably last more decades with proper maintenance to my understanding, and despite making up a small number of energy production facilities they make up a huge mix of the energy in the world, so it seems like it could be a solid backup plan in a primarily wind and solar world.

I used to (like, 5 years ago) find a lot of $7 and $8 bombers that were pretty great, or $9 6-packs that were damn solid.

From my perspective it's not so much that I stopped buying mid-tier beer, as that it vanished and isn't there to buy anymore. Now I look at a $12 4-pack of beer that's not even that good and wonder if I should put the money toward a very-nice scotch instead....

I still buy from a few brands that I know well and that do deliver good quality at non-crazy prices, but there just aren't as many "yeah, sure, at that price I'll give it a shot" beers on the shelf. At least locally.

Wow...what a brilliant piece of propaganda.

"I am unsure as to why all the intelligence officials in the initial planning meetings for the mission felt that the only possible way to sabotage the pipeline would be at the short section directly bordering Russia, instead of the large section in more favorable waters."

I can think of one reason; to make it look more likely that Russia did it.

And why oh why would Norway help??? I'll give you 263 billion reasons...

> conflation of nuclear energy with nuclear weapons

"Conflation" means (or at least implies) that one thing has been mistaken for the other.

Nuclear reactors have been entwined with nuclear weapons production since the very beginning. The British MAGNOX reactors were designed (and used) to produce warheads as well as energy. Iran is under sanctions partly because it's feared they'll use any reactor they build to make warheads.

I dream of the day when I can ask an LLM to write a modern version of AC in Unreal 7... Exploring Dereth with reality level detail would be incredible.
> so less skilled coders just take the output of whatever the LLM spits and assume it's correct, later it turns out there is a bug. The person who submitted the code doesn't understand the code, because they didn't bother learning it just that it was mostly correct. Instead of discovering and fixing the source of the error they just go in and discover where the error is output and slap some more AI generated code over it to squash the bug.

Ever worked with offshored programmers (won't name country or companies)? The things I've seen. Getting code via email that doesn't compile. Then seeing they replied-all, cc'd some random employee not on the project and 2-3 managers about "getting the urgent fix". Having a teenager with a 3 months bootcamp, an AI and a few post-it with git commands would actually be an improvement over this.

> The issue is that the biggest thing AI brings is it allows you to generate lots of code, very fast. So we have more and more code, that is less and less understood by any human being.

I know guys whose whole contracting careers is re-writing (completely from scratch) huge codebase that were offshored. 10x reduction in line count is pretty much standard. I guess these AIs means their business model will keep working for the next decade!
Yes, this is the logical way of doing it without preprocessor.

At the end of the day, this is pretty equivalent. Not sure if this is a net gain or not.

Conditional compilation is needed, moving the feature from the preprocessor stage to a lazy evaluator is probably costlier for the compiler and it might also be costlier for the IDE to highlight active/inactive parts of the code.

From the user point of view, this is very close, mostly a cosmetic change.
For many (if not most) use cases, the latency is more important than the compute.
Kraken just agreed with a regulator to change their business practices and pay a fine. It's literally right there in the linked article! They didn't shoot anyone. So, while their corporate culture might be stupid I doubt your claims about using weapons.
>Why would you compare commercial nuclear energy production to the military scenarios, which have a completely different legal, supervisory, penalty and authority structure?

Because the article took away their usual talking points regarding "nuclear waste bad" and "dangerous for 10,000 years!".

They're moving the goalposts to "You can't argue that nuclear waste disposal from power plants wouldn't cause a problem because the military doesn't dispose of most things correctly and private companies are probably just as bad or worse than the military, therefore you're wrong."

Which doesn't make much sense.

There are extremely low barriers to entry. Both against becoming a Medium blogger, and against companies putting together competing platforms to draw talent. So you are left with a pretty diluted pool of content.

Substack isn't a technology platform - it's a business model. They paid a bunch of well known writers a bunch of money to come to their platform and it paid off. I think they have wisely bet that there is no shortage of content on the internet, and focusing on curation is more important than access.
“Risk vs reward” is a different model than the OP’s proposition that loss comes from wrong choices by investors.

A risky bet that loses doesn’t mean the bettor did something wrong, and one that wins doesn’t mean the bettor did something right. They played odds against unknown factors and came out up or down. If the market is efficient at all, it’s in the aggregate, not on an individual basis.

But for “amateur investors” enough loss may mean that they’re out of the game, which is different than for those who have the luxury of more capital.

Personal outcomes for “amateur investors” are very much about luck, even when pursuing more ostensibly conservative strategies.

I mean honestly infrasructurally the bay area sucks too, unless you happen to live in certain parts of the city or on the Caltrain (in which case transit is good but eye wateringly expensive). Try living in Alameda, Burlingame, San Leandro, etc.

Even so. Like nobody goes from the marina to the mission, or sunset to the mission. People never go to east bay.

As for meaningful entertainment I actually think Austin has about as much to offer as sf, but that could just be due to the circles I frequent.

Legit the thing I miss is altitude hiking (go climb a huge hill like mt. Tam, or string together four parks around my house and do a six km loop, mostly in parks). Barton creek is amazing though, and it's fantastic that you can forget you're inside a city for about 20km
yes that's true, and sincerely keep going with that maybe another pass could do code review

Do you have a different transcript or something? There's nothing in the video that provides such a context.

Regardless, "There will be no more Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it" is a weird way to threaten sanctions, don't you think?
While you're generally right, you'd be surprised. You can go pretty far by throwing out a few buzzwords and sitting through youtube how-tos.

IME, it's when the crunch time hits, or an outage, or some other nasty surprise or fire, where you see the competency show itself (or not).
Is “HTML over the wire” a new buzzword for SSR or is there a difference I'm missing?
There definitely are roots that can be traced to institutional problems. The case with a certain DC1 who thought being a pain would make him feel better, it is an institutional problem that someone like that was able to get to a position they were in. If someone with that kind of a personality rose up to being a DC1 and supervising the trash crew (although these kinds of duties are usually when someone is sent TAD because their division doesn't want to deal with them), that is a problem. So yea, you can boil it down to institutional problems, however it can be a little tricky because those institutional problems sometimes do not correlate directly.
AC was my first MMORPG, fond memories indeed. I remember the sheer adrenaline I got when "going red" and watching PK drama and battles unfold at the subway, dominated by a build called the "OG mage," slidecasting all over the place casting drain health until finishing with a missile spell. I would cast Blooddrinker 6 on monster weapons and giddily laugh as they sliced through new players starting out. I remember staying up the entire night during a school day when housing was released and being one of the first people on my server to claim one. I even remember being a vassal to a very generous asian guy in his mid twenties living in LA named Kyoto and my countless interactions with him and his brother under a specific tree.

Countless memories I could keep going on and on, but what an experience!

Heya, I worked for Andy doing most of the electronics on this project so if you have any questions about that, fire away!

On the art side, I can emphasize some of what was probably too subtle in the article: A major part of this project was the sound. Andy is after all, largely a sound artist/sculptor! Look at this current piece "Whale" in the MIT Museum, his instruments, etc. https://andycavatorta.com/

He went through a lot of thought to come up with the frequencies/scale, and the playing pattern of the chimes.

He also went through great trouble and expense to make this pinball game have no speakers/digital sounds. The sound all comes from the clacking of the pinball relays (which yes, are driven by RPi's running Mission Pinball Framework) and most important, the 25 giant metal chimes in the center! One of his other people in his studio did the crazy work of grinding them all to just the right lengths and tuned them with a stroboscopic tuner. It took days and though she wore a full freezer suit (because it was February in Brooklyn and the heat was being repaired in the building after the building owner died and his brother inherited it and had to take over), she would finish the day with aluminum dust embedded in all of her clothing.

Also, the tangible nature of the piece was a stark reaction to the other pieces in the show, and in general, his experience as an installation artist in the Boston Museum of Science. Nowadays, so many installations are just tablets. Or maybe a PC with a mouse, etc. He wanted something more tactile than that, that moves, and makes its own side.

Several people have commented on the acrylic displays and Andy's general overengineering. Yes, his style is almost always overengineered, love or it hate it, that's part of the work. He likes big, heavy, arduous things. personally theorize it has something to do with his gigantic muscle growth genetics, though he does not work out!

The Acrylic displays were scaled up from some person's random Arduino project.... and it turns out the upscaling was full of surprises!
We needed a ton of extra light to make them glow. There weren't many LED strips available that were narrow enough, and a bunch of them broke in transit to Mexico. This was due to the sharp edges of the acrylic vibrating and sawing through them! And receiving a package of replacements from DigiKey was not simple. He had to do a lot of paperwork and travel for hours in an Uber to get the package of replacements. Also, just keep those pieces of acrylic clean, dust-free and hand-grease free was a pain!
Also here's another secret: Andy almost never uses CAD for his projects. This was his first, or one of his first big projects with CAD and he made the classic mistake of designing the container for the acrylic displays with no space for fasteners! Fortunately, he managed to make it work. Behind the rear of those displays are dozens and dozens of mini boards with FET drivers and constant current drivers... all driven from cascaded shift registers!
