Why not just taught to be nice to others?

And the NLP point matters quite a bit. ChatGPT can analyze the sentiment, and even offer adjustments.

This is less about being nice to technology and more about being aware of the impact of the self on the rest of the world. Technology just highlights the gap.

Great, except each country is tiny and cross-border commerce common, so you end up having to implement all of them…

Or, much more likely, you give up and just go with Paypal + Credit Cards again, especially since more and more banks in Europe are rolling out Mastercard Debit as their regular banking card (on top of Apple Pay and whatever Google is pretending to be supporting today), making credit/debit card payments more popular than ever.

> If you only have to deal with European payment systems + FedNow, you don't have to worry about things like the MATCH list.

I'm not aware of any payment provider that gives me all European networks, but not credit cards.

Not that it would be helpful, since most people use credit cards anyway.

They're not referring to the Substack platform, they're referring to this specific newsletter/blog this post is in; it's made by the self-described "nonprofit investigative team Chiron Return." Googling "Chiron return" I discover it's an astrological term and other posts on their home page makes it clear that they do write about astrology.
Contrast that statistic about where HYP grads go to this speech Barbara Walters gave at my brother’s graduation at Yale: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7llYZ2XqLX4

It’s one of the dumbest speeches I’ve ever heard, but what made it especially delicious was knowing that 2/3 of the kids she was talking to apparently were “finding their bliss” working for Goldman Sachs and McKinsey.

> There are 8 people who vote on changes to the Matrix spec (the Spec Core Team), 7 of which are Element employees (including Matthew, Element's CEO). Element also controls the development of clients and servers used by the large majority of users in the public federation.

There is a bunch of missing context here. Firstly, Matrix predates Element. When the team who created Matrix set up the Spec Core Team, we deliberately went for a 4:5 mix of folks from the founding project team mixed with folks from the community. Specifically: me (Matthew), Dave, Erik and Rich from the original team, and Hubert, Travis, Andrew, Alexey and mujx from the wider Matrix community. At around the same time, the original Matrix team set up Element as a way to try to fund us to work on Matrix as our dayjobs.

The catch however is that Hubert/Travis/Andrew got so enthusiastic about Matrix that they wanted to do it as their day job - and at the time, Element was the only place you could do that, and so they applied to work at Element. We reasoned that the best outcome for Matrix would be if they were able to work on Matrix fulltime, and so prioritised that over the heterogeneity of the Spect Core Team. They were explicitly asked to participate in the SCT discussions with their community rather than Element-employee hats on, though, and they continue to do so.

Finally, the actual Guardians (Directors of the Matrix Foundation) who ensure that the project remains neutral are 3:2 mix of independent v. Matrix founders. So if anyone thinks that the SCT is deviating from its neutrality, they can and should appeal to the Guardians, who then have the ability to shake up the SCT as needed.

So yes, this is more complicated than a simple 'design by committee' approach, but I'd argue that it gives the ability for the protocol to evolve more rapidly and with less bikeshedding - and meanwhile we have the checks & balances to keep things on track.

> This means Synapse devs (which are a majority of Element employees) get to decide what room versions can get traction.

The official room versions are defined by the SCT; nothing to do with synapse devs. It's the SCT which prevents fragmentation. Synapse and other homeservers can (and do) go wild experimenting with different room versions.

> It is not uncommon for people in the Matrix community to complain about this and Element keeping specs in limbo, and PRs to the flagship clients being stuck in "design review tar".

Yes, it's very common for people to complain that their favourite feature hasn't been added to the spec yet, or that their unsolicited PR to Element got wedged because the Element team is trying to build a focused coherent app rather than a kitchen sink.

On spec stuff, the solution is to implement the feature anyway on a prefix, demonstrate its usefulness, and then the MSC is easy to unblock. On unsolicited PRs to Element, the solution is to demonstrate it on a branch, or fork, or implement it on a different client. Again, features which have been proven to work well in the wild are easy to incorporate into the official spec.

Word choice means everything because it can be the difference in accountability. I guarantee you they are hoping for said effect on the 'audience'/public.

> The loss of O2 to water means that each time through this removes O2 from the atmosphere which would need to be replenished.

Well you're missing half the equation on the CO2->CH4 process. To get the 2 H2 molecules you'll need to split 2 H2O in all likelihood so you're already getting the 2 O2 from splitting the CO2 and then the 2 H2O so in theory it's oxygen neutral.

That said it's a silly process to go through because there's already absolutely massive electrical supplies available on submarines to power the engines while submerged or to recharge those batteries while on the surface in the case of old subs or modern diesels. Why add a whole "mini" sabatier reactor just to cause more problems with your air quality and recycling when you can just cook electric and toss the captured CO2 overboard.

Neat info about the UBoats. Wonder if they were allowed to use the electric ranges while submerged. UBoats exist in this fascinating in between period where they were both surface and subsurface ships because of the limitation on things like their speed underwater.

>> Does anyone at Google come into work actually thinking about “organizing the world’s information”?

This is the poignant question IMO.

The texture of the internet has changed drastically since the golden age of "Googling" for things. I feel like the current search vs. SEO paradigm has become a losing battle. The bad actors have adapted to Google's algorithms and now resemble the holes in Search's strategy like some over evolved contagion. The main issues I see as a lay person are:

- Bounce time and other metrics actively incentivizing content to be obfuscated and waste user's time.

- Content theft being viable and disincentivizing high quality content that can be copied easily.

- Walled garden sites that don't want to surrender their content for ad impressions and aren't easily or impossible to index.

I feel like solutions to the above problems would involve Google killing its own golden advertisement goose.

Maybe there are high influence Googlers that do come into work and think about “organizing the world’s information . . .” but a "in way that makes Google the most money" is inevitably tacked on.
Interesting. I want to know for anyone: do you think frameworks are boilerplate and vice versa?

I would welcome anything that would cut off the flow of ad money into the pockets of the awful algorithmic SEO scum, who have been poisoning search results with shallow and meaningless articles for the past few years.

This attempt is better viewed as a replacement for the infobox, which does iterative queries for you, instead of you having to hunt down the appropriate jargon yourself and do the successive searches. Don't use it standalone. It gives you citations, since it can actually browse the internet.
It does, unfortunately, sound like his foxes got sick, as they were not able to evacuate.

Animals that were evacuated and animals outside the evac zone will probably be fine (though not to the same amount as humans; lower body mass and evac orders aren't structured around pet and livestock welfare, generally).
But in the game you’re playing a city planner (well, a very idealized, pluripotent, undemocratic version of one), so surely it should feature concepts fundamentally relevant to a city planner’s job, even if those concepts are not necessarily familiar to a layperson! Games are typically meant to educate too, after all.

That said, yes, the lack of mixed zoning is one of the more unrealistic parts of city builder games, and one of the most often requested features in the Cities: Skylines community. However, it should be noted that separation of functions is a notion very fundamental to the modernist (1930s–) school of urban planning, and this originated from the entirely reasonable desire to genuinely improve the human condition in cities by separating residential areas from a polluting industry.

Because single-use zoning, together with the ideal of a single-family house for everyone and the use of personal automobiles for transport, turned out to be unsustainable in more ways than one, and because polluting industry is now relegated to a Someone Else’s Problem, mixed use has become (or is becoming) fashionable again, with current ideals and best practices in planning clearly diverging from those of the modernist era.

Another unrealistic idea is, of course, that of a city designed from the ground up, which, although there are indeed real-world examples of fully planned cities, they are very rare. Many players do prefer to start with a tabula rasa in these types of games, and it’s of course much less work for the developers to create maps devoid of existing human population. I, for one, would love to see more maps where the starting point is an existing town, or a group of disjoint villages scattered on the map!

Nb. the notion of planning as a profession emerged in the West mostly during the 19th century, before which cities had, for the most part, grown more or less organically. The need for central planning was in many cases precipitated by fires which could easily destroy neighborhoods or entire towns. Building fire-resistant cities in the era of predominantly wooden buildings necessitated measures such as firewalls between adjacent buildings, streets wider than the alleys of old, and separating neighborhoods with wide, tree-lined esplanades or boulevards. Conveniently, the destruction left by fires also provided the opportunity to realize these measures when rebuilding.

I'm happy to bet it's not happening. Japan is far too busy fighting amongst themselves and/or catering to themselves first and foremost.

South Korea, Taiwan, and China slayed Japan because they played for keeps and pulled no punches. Japan simply does not have the correct mindset to deliberately (re)conquer and succeed.

Is this that surprising? The only tokens they had ever feed into it were "E3, C3, D4..." So they fed 64 distinct tokens into it.

These nodes correspond to those individual tokens. It seems like our human interpretation to say that it represent the "8x8 Othello board."
Because the assumption is “you’re rich if you have an EV”

I can't speak for your state/country but most of the places I have resided in base the registration cost on the original MSRP of the vehicle then multiply that times a percentages times a number that decreases every year for 5 years and then hits a lower cap. A $70K ICE and a $70K EV should be subject to the same formula. I would expect the EV to at least have some kind of tax rebate unless that's no longer a thing.
Brand reputation is a positive feedback loop.

Better reputation -> charge more money -> poorer people who are gonna use your product at 11/10ths and try and skate by with the bare minimum of proactive maintenance buy it less -> the average example on the road is in better condition for its age -> high end consumers go "hey those things are lasting well I'll buy one" -> your average customer is richer so you don't have to cheap out in as many places on your product -> GoTo(step 2).

Of course the process needs to be kick started with a couple actual good products but once it takes off you're basically home free if you don't f it up.

The whole "the same GM car deprecated more" makes for great online virtue points from fanboys but it's not exactly illustrative of anything that isn't well known to be from other factors. The versions of otherwise identical cars that are preferred by higher end consumers will hold value better because they get treated better and kept nicer resulting in higher value at any given age/mileage. You can see this trend in action if you cross shop badge engineered cars that are old enough that purchase price no longer has any bearing on price.

X86-64 is not under heavy register pressure strain. That idea is a legacy from x86 (plain, 32b).

x86-64 has the same register count as ARMv7 and few bothered disabling the frame pointer there, even though it’s a load-store architecture.

I'm still in the camp that they did not in fact miss the boat on EVs.

> The minute it's an "employee" either give them more stock to compensate for the tax to come or pay them so the lower equity does not matter.

Okay but in practice you can't rely on the employer/founders paying the tax for the employees, and because money is fungible, a tax on the employee is equivalent to a tax on the employers. Even if you pass a law so that all the burden is on the employer, because of the previous point it will still be the employee paying.

Because big corporations buy the exact same things, you just market to them differently. Throw in various kinds of support contracts and "enterprise" whatever and you make much better margins off of the corporate contract even if what you are selling is pretty much identical.

The point is that Akamai is probably correct that all Linode really needs to change to be seen as viable by large corporations is the marketing. Its incredibly dumb that the world works like that even at the scale of large corporations that you would think would care less about being marketed to, but my experience has been the opposite / being tickled by marketing is even more important for big corporations.

It should also be noted that the people who choose infrastructure vendors are rarely the actual sysadmins in charge of the infrastructure. These kinds of decisions are standardized across large organizations (sysadmins would never be able to agree on something like that let's be honest) and the choices tend to be made by people who haven't set up a new server in a decade, (if they've ever done so then they are more technical than most in charge of IT purchasing).
This comes from 12 Steps/AA literature. If something external causes me to feel some way, it may be more about me than about the externality itself.

I'll try an example. If a random stranger comes up and insults me, I might start getting angry, insult him back, even start a fight. If I reflected on it a bit I might see my reaction was based on my own insecurity, my pre-existing belief that some of these insults, whatever they were, were true; or maybe a fear that these words could injure me somehow and I'd need to protect myself.

On the other hand, I can think of a very loving person I know, and if someone started insulting them, they'd be more likely to say, whoa, you poor man, you seem troubled, what's going on?

The point being responding back with anger is not a necessary reaction to this stimulus. And a strong unpleasant reaction, or avoidance, is often rooted in my own self-centeredness (which can be changed).
