Agreed. This is my view on Brexit (as a Brit). There was a democratic referendum plus somewhere between 1 and 27 general elections, prime ministers and parliamentary rebellions (it all got confusing). We as a country made a decision - not one I agreed with but still. Somehow taking that back and saying "no try again" is going to make the next decision just impossible.

You concentrate on your balance without a safety net.

Personally I think the big advantage America has is they vote for everything - sheriffs, mayors, dog catchers and presidents. It matters, because it happens a lot. Is it perfect. Hell no. But we get good at what we do most often.

> Do you think that the problems with cargo mentioned in TFA are exaggerated or solvable?

I'd say they're exaggerated at least slightly, yes.

It starts out by saying "Cargo isn't a build system" (which is already the sort of provocative exaggeration designed to increase participation), and then immediately veers off and starts talking about running tests. Cargo is a build system and dependency manager. It also happens to provide `cargo test` for running unit tests and integration tests, but this support is relatively simple, and if you need to do something weird then you're welcome to write a script to serve as your test runner. But a build system is not a test runner; a build system produces artifacts, and a test runner runs tests. The author appears to be annoyed that Cargo is not a build system for web assembly, which is part of their test process, and obviously Cargo is not. This is a somewhat eye-rolling critique, and does little to motivate rewriting the world in Bazel.

The second complaint is that Cargo uses file timestamps to decide when to recompile files. I suppose it is possible that Cargo could then proceed to lex any changed file to produce a comment-free token stream, hash the token stream, and then compare that hash to a previously-computed hash that you've stored in a database somewhere. Frankly, this sounds like a lot of work for essentially zero benefit; how often, exactly, do you go into a file and change only a comment? This is a weak justification.

It then mentions how changing git branches can invalidate the cache, but I don't think that's true. Git only updates timestamps on files that have changed when changing branches. If a file has changed when changing a branch, that is, again, probably because it has actual changes, and will almost never be because only a comment has changed.

It then makes some suggestions about Cargo not properly tracking changes to some global system resource that they have, which is simply too vague to comment on, and the fact that their prior reasons have been so weak makes me think that if this, of all things, is what they're trying to be vague about, then I assume this must be so unique and specific that even they recognize it's a weak critique.
Free markets have government regulation that balances things a little bit.

Correct fingering is determined by context, where is that hand coming from and where is it going next on the keyboard? So you read/play through a few times and figure out the optimal fingering to make sure you are not tripping over your hands. Teachers tend not to explain this until the student points out that the correct fingering for that chord was different in another piece.
Two decades back, Richard Posner wrote: "[Dershowitz] makes a point that only the most doctrinaire civil libertarians ... deny: if the stakes are high enough, torture is permissible. No one who doubts that this is the case should be in a position of responsibility. If torture is the only means of obtaining the information necessary to prevent the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Times Square, torture should be used — and will be used — to obtain the information."[1]

Those unfamiliar with the Khalistan issue and the related Punjab insurgency[2] of the 1980s and 90s should not carry any doubts in their minds as to the scale of the Indian state's response to any activities that attempt to rekindle or support the bombings, assassinations, terror and bloodbath of that era. The choice between preventing tens of thousands of deaths and freedom of speech is a very simple one. Twitter and other social media companies will have to comply, one way or the other.

nobody qualified wants the 24/7 SRE job unless it pays an enormous amount of money. i wouldn't do it for less than 500 grand cash. getting woken up at 3am constantly or working 3rd shift is the kind of thing you do with a specific monetary goal in mind (i.e., early retirement) or else it's absolute hell.

combine that with ludicrous requirements (the same as a senior software engineer) and you get gaps in coverage. ask yourself what senior software engineer on earth would tolerate getting called CONSTANTLY at 3am, or working 3rd shift.

the vast majority of computer systems just simply aren't as important as hospitals or nuclear power plants.
I don't want to get into the weeds of the subtleties of evaluation, hyperparameter-tuning and model comparisons, but let's just say that subsequent studies have shown that LoRA (consistent with most parameter-efficient tuning methods) underperform full fine-tuning: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.06904

As simple way to think about it is this: if LoRA really gives full fine-tuning performance, why would anyone ever fully fine-tune a model?

I agree, it is a different kind of mistake; it is immensely worse than creating a terrible security bug yourself.

Outsourcing your development work without a acceptance criteria and without validation for fitness of purpose is complete, abject engineering incompetence. Do you think bridge builders look at the rivets in the design and then just waltz over to Home Depot and just pick out one that looks kind of like the right size? No, they have exact specifications and it is their job to source rivets that meet those specifications. They then either validate the rivets themselves or contract with a reputable organization that legally guarantees they meet the specifications and it might be prudent to validate it again anyways just to be sure.

The fact that, in software, not validating your dependencies, i.e. the things your system depends on, is viewed as not so bad is a major reason why software security is such a utter joke and why everybody keeps making such utterly egregious security errors. If one of the worst engineering practices is viewed as normal and not so bad, it is no wonder the entire thing is utterly rotten.
"haven't sold enough yet to cover their fixed costs" is just another way of saying they are selling at a loss. And no, they aren't selling them above the non-fixed costs either. To reach profitability, they need to do more than scale. They need to reduce battery costs and find design/engineering improvements. Those are actually provide more improvement to the profitability than scaling production up. The numbers are right there in the slides in the article.

Sleep has been terrible on Windows for many, many years. Typically, when setting up a PC, in order for it to sleep consistently until _I_ wake it, I have to go into device manager, go over each USB device, and disable it waking the PC. That is a terrible experience that nobody should do. Not sure whether this behavior is due to bad drivers or a bad Windows implementation, and frankly I don’t care.

I’ve never seen what you are describing with hibernation, because it just shuts off the PC. But I have little to none experience with Windows 11.

> Interestingly enough, the huge outlier in slow construction isn't the US, but Canada, with an average skyscraper construction speed of half that of the US’s.

A building materials professor I knew years ago talked often about how robust Canadian skyscrapers were, and how many pre-9/11 U.S. designs never would have been approved there. I suspect differences in local building robustness code play a role in how much square footage makes it into skyscrapers in a locality, and how quickly.

Honestly, it seems the people most blown away by things like this are people who haven’t much experience in the various fields.

It’s easy to get amazed by something that can halfway do something you can’t do at all automatically. But as others have pointed out, it’s not that great at it and not knowing enough to do it yourself means you don’t know enough to catch and fix bugs.

So this move to using chatgpt and similar in production by people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to do things in production is worrisome, imo.
What chatGPT misses is I want many sources of information conflicting or not so I can form a more informed opinion. I want to know every side not the correct one.

> Skyscrapers also have a footprint that might no be immediately obvious - it's their energy, water and food demand. Assuming they're inhabited by humans, what's the amount of agricultural land needed to provide for those humans? What's the energy demand, how many modular 100 MW nuclear power plants or hectares of solar PV panels (plus associated 24/7 storage/distribution centers) are needed to keep the elevator, lights, pumps, ventilation and heating/AC functioning? How much water do they consume daily?

Yes, that is a footprint, and it's almost universally much lower than any other form of housing. Modern construction is very efficient, and it's much more environmentally friendly to consolidate these concerns than to spread it out.

> That's the kind of 'skyscraper footprint analysis' that architects should be asked to submit for any building design.

What you're proposing is really just another way to block construction, NIMBY-style. Nobody asks for these proposals when building tract housing. Why should it be any different for shared housing? It's not like the amount of food and water people need varies based on where they live.
