You'd need a chart that shows the different percentiles of wages.

A single line of average real wages wouldn't do much, and also doesn't actually show any decline.

There's an infamous chart that seems to show that real wages lag behind productivity. Alas, that chart uses different measures of inflation for the two lines in that chart. Thus it's completely useless.

You can have a look at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LABSHPUSA156NRUG for the 'Share of Labour Compensation in GDP': if you are only interested in inequality, you don't need to worry about inflation, you can just divide total nominal labour income by total nominal gdp to cancel out the price level.

The labour share of GDP in the US has been remarkably stable. FRED has data since 1950, and the labour share has stayed between 58% to 65% in that time.

(If you want to dig deeper: the capital share of GDP has been mostly constant. It's the share that goes to land that has increased.)

In any case, as I said above, the average income from labour has done just fine. It's the difference between workers that might be interesting to look at: eg CEO vs burger flipper.

That is a great point. The laws of thermodynamics exist as a logical consequence to fundamental statistical principles. It is statistical mechanics that gives rise to entropy, not the other way around. (hence the beautifully elegant equation S = Kb*ln(Omega) where Omega is the number of microstates)

For the record, I was able to record a CD-R at 1x (the only speed I trust) on a 486 SX2 processor, running at 33MHZ in the late 90s/early 00s, just to test whether I really needed a 233MHz Pentium II PC as advertised on most Best Buy CD-writer boxes. The write completed in about 50 minutes. Never stop dreaming.

Yes just like any dictator. Augustus ended up learning from Caesars mistakes and at the built much more stable foundations than Caesar ever could.

Caesar was just a second Sulla. Obviously he was much less bloodthirsty and cruel from the perspective of his fellow Romans (Gauls and Germans are subhumans so who cares about them). However he suffered from the same savior/messiah complex that Sulla did, believing he alone could reform and save the republic. Well he didn’t and he couldn’t anyway..

Publicly self-admitted, in this case. Apart from that: if I inherit the code base of a bad programmer on my job, with a lot of technical debt, which part of it is a deliberate trade-off? It's still "time that must be paid back, with interest", but how it came to be is not part of the definition. The term is merely meant to help confer the problem to non-technical people, who _then_ can make a conscious decision to accrue technical debt. If they do so out of incompetence, it's still technical debt.
Your first sentence is interesting, why do you think that?
The correct solution to this problem is to allow websites to require sound. Add a HTML meta tag that tells the browser "Hey, this page won't load properly without sound, so ask the user if they want to enable sound, or navigate away". If the user really wants to load the page without sound, they can override it in about:config.

All of the other solutions are dumb and I can't believe browser vendors have settled for them.

(Could it be related to the biggest browser vendor also running their own video site that bypasses all autoplay restrictions? Nah...)
I‘ve also been using vim for ~3yrs now, editing small programming projects and all kinds of text in it (like config files). Never had a need for emacs until a couple weeks ago I started working at a project involving a lot of meetings and writing a TeX report. I experienced that emacs, used in the auctex and org modes, is helping me a lot with that because the available commands simplify the workflow (like `reftex-citation`).

Why has trying out emacs been on your mind, if I may ask? If it‘s just for fun, go ahead. If it‘s because you think aspects of your workflow could be optimized, take a look at the several modes emacs has to offer. Otherwise, I would just stay with vim, tbh.

But aren’t many people on the Right “overtly concerned with what someone is” and even with “how that can be used to discriminate”?

I think your definition of “Left” is too broad, because it ends up encompassing much of the “Right” in its terms.

This is a perfect illustration of conceptual bankruptcy of the autoconf approach. Using compile/link tests and basing a decision on whether they succeeded or failed without distinguishing the reasons for failure will inevitably lead to silent false negatives.

In any case, costs can be brought down significantly with 1. more reasonable regulations and 2. economies of scale, which just requires building more plants.

So if - due to massive expansion of nuclear power - we get to the point that uranium supplies are dwindling and causing the price of uranium ore to rise, we may still see breeder reactors with lower construction and operating costs than current generation reactors.

I suspect modularity in reactors, that enables a genuine global market to emerge in reactor manufacturing, would be instrumental in bringing down reactor construction costs.

>>Fast reactors also present the possibility of prompt fast criticality

I'm quite the layman in this subject, but my understanding is that there are fourth generation fast reactor models, with passive safety features, that effectively eliminate that possibility.
I've seen the bugs in Gentoo, so I am aware that this is annoying (and some of them I'm responsible to fix), but I think it's a good thing this is finally being cleaned up.

The issue here is that functions are called without a function prototype, aka the proper headers included. The compiler basically guesses what the function prototype is. This is certainly error-prone, and the fact that autoconf relies on tons of test code pieces that aren't really correct C code is if anything worrying.

It's also probably a good thing that this shows up first in clang, as most linux distros are built with gcc, so you have a testbed to fix all that stuff. gcc should eventually catch up and introduce the same default.
I had the unfashionable but actually pretty cool Amstrad CPC464. I wanted to play games but also program. Hacking games was also much fun: figuring out how to give yourself 100 lives and so on.

Many weekends were spent typing lines and lines of code to make simple games. Then we'd save stuff to tape - after we'd spent hours and hours debugging, of course.

Elite occupied me for months. Then Forest at World's End, which I mapped out on a bunch of sheets of A4 taped together.

When I got older I hacked my joystick port and connected it to a water chaos wheel I'd made out of an old bicycle rim and some other bits, then I wrote a BASIC program to visualise the movement of the wheel, monitoring direction via the hacked joystick port.

I think the out of order bit is fine, in most cases it’s not an issue and may even be necessary. Your proposal would be straight up incompatible with most collections, and greatly limiting to the rest.

> Memorization is the same as knowing.

They are not the same which is why they are two different words. For example, memorising first 1000 prime numbers is not same as knowing prime numbers. The former person will not be able to figure out 1001st prime number because it's not in their memory bank but the later can calculate it. Sure it takes time to calculate but it's not impossible.

Now, I'm not belittling memorisation. A baseline memory is needed otherwise one'll be wasting time and energy figuring out everything from first principles all the time. This is akin to rainbow tables saving time. But as with all things in life finding right balance is key. As you pointed out, it's useful to memorise things at work to save time and energy.
Honest question - how is it different from human cognition? Don't forget of all the spectrum of cognition, e.g. https://www.iflscience.com/people-with-no-internal-monologue...
Completely agree here. Memorization is actually quite important.

Try learning Spanish from scratch with a "bad memory" and let me know how it goes.

It hurts me to read this. Because actually learning is inherently fun, or used to be.

Why do kids have fun playing? Because they learn this way.

Playing is learning.

Or it used to, until the philosophy settled in, that playing is meant for wasting time (and you surely can waste time playing as most modern games are made for time killing) and learning has to be intentionally hard.

The most effective way to learn new things for me, is still to play around with them. Whether it is compilers or a new graphical framework. And then systematically move on and read documentation about it.

People can do this alone, but you are right that for most, including myself - a structured class can be very helpful. But it does not have to be a pain. The most I learned was in classes where the tutor understood how to teach in a fun and easy way.
This behavior is indeed strange and seemingly low hanging fruit. The model often is able to notice that it has given an incorrect answer and correct itself. But why not just give the correct answer to start with? It’s like it needs a second pass, but is there really that much extra information in its first wrong answer?
There won't be any reasonable, principled government in the US while people voluntarily divide themselves into these two arbitrary tribes and shout about how they are better than the other side.

Ben Barnes, a former Texas political figure, has revealed that his political mentor, John B. Connally Jr., who served three US presidents, went on a mission to the Middle East in 1980 to sabotage President Jimmy Carter's re-election campaign. Connally, who had just lost his own bid for the White House and wanted to become Secretary of State or Defense in a new administration, was determined to help Ronald Reagan beat Carter. He met with regional leaders and delivered a blunt message to be passed to Iran: Don't release the hostages before the election, and Reagan will win and give you a better deal. Shortly after returning home, Connally reported to William J. Casey, chairman of Reagan's campaign, and later the director of the CIA, briefing him about the trip in an airport lounge.

Barnes, who accompanied Connally on the trip, identified four people he had confided in over the years, including the president of the L.B.J. Foundation, a former aide to Lyndon Johnson, a former aide to Connally and Johnson, and a University of Texas historian. All four confirmed that Barnes shared the story with them years ago. Records at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum confirmed part of Barnes's story. An itinerary found last week in Connally's files showed that Connally left Houston on July 18, 1980, for a trip that would take him to Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Israel before returning to Houston on Aug. 11. Barnes was listed as accompanying him.

The October surprise theory has been long debated, with Carter's camp long suspecting that someone in Reagan's orbit sought to secretly torpedo efforts to liberate the hostages before the election. Congressional investigations have debunked previous theories of what happened, but Connally did not figure in those investigations. With Carter now 98 and in hospice care, Barnes said he felt compelled to come forward to correct the record. Confirming Barnes's account is problematic after so much time, as Connally, Casey, and other central figures have long since died, and Barnes has no diaries or memos to corroborate his account.
