Oh, I totally agree, had I been the technical lead for that team I would have flagged a lot of that stuff. As it stands the lead for that team is also on the nice but incompetent spectrum to some degree, and since the code base they're working on is an inherited dumpster fire I get the sense people on that team have mostly given up on code quality.
100 years of training make most people think of light bulbs as a trivial purchase. And now a product that cost $0.50 20 years ago is $10, and often performs worse for its purpose.

So the economics just drive cost down no matter what. And even a picky consumer is hard pressed to get what he wants when you go to the bulb aisle at Lowe’s. They literally went from 10 SKUs to 250, with no meaningful standards.

I know you're being glib but I assume the reason we didn't do any more Blackbirds is because normal satellite imagery got good enough that it didn't make as much sense to keep building these crazy things.

Does anyone remember that satellite photo Trump leaked of that iranian missile silo?

https://www.npr.org/2019/08/30/755994591/president-trump-twe...

This one ^

I'm just guessing that if they showed it to Trump unprompted in a briefing, it's unlikely that this is max zoom. And it's already crazy clear.

And the article mentions:

"Hanham also says that the European company Airbus has been experimenting with drones that fly so high, they are technically outside the atmosphere and thus operating outside national boundaries. But she says she doesn't know whether the U.S. has such a system."

So I think we just got a bit better at radar deflection and flying really high to where the Blackbird doesn't make sense anymore.

Indeed, Mach 3.5 is the declared top speed in this story, but higher speeds are implied.

The Mach eases to 3.5 as we crest 80,000 feet... Screaming past Tripoli, our phenomenal speed continues to rise... I realize that I still have my left hand full-forward and we're continuing to rocket along in maximum afterburner... The TDI now shows us Mach numbers, not only new to our experience but flat out scary.

He mentions unusually cool temperatures allowing higher speeds than usual, and the aircraft is performing better than ever. So who knows. 3.6? Did a perfect set of circumstances, mixed with a rather urgent need to depart, take them closer to 3.7?

It's truly incredible that the A12/SR-71 aircraft was designed without the benefit of modern computing. In Ben Rich's book "Skunk Works" I recall there a bit about a comment that somebody once made regarding Kelly Johnson, something like "That Swede can see air". Truly a compliment to Johnson's almost uncanny ability to design aircraft for a specification. The U2 was another example of such ability.

I think LED lights will lose some of their brightness in the short term, but maintain a useful plateau much longer. At least, that's how LED projectors work, vs lamp projectors, which steadily decline until they're unusable.

However, I would always buy standard socket LEDs unless you're really committed to that lighting style.
I feel as if there needs to be data that demonstrates an explosion of SEO spam and social media fake content. People have been doing those things since we figured out we could -- LLMs are just exponentially better at it.

> I think Narcan being made OTC recently is an attempt at reducing the risk of overdose ending in death at least

My theory is that this is why there is so much more fentanyl. If you think of a street level hard drug dealer, other than law enforcement, his biggest problem is the churn of his customer base due to overdoses/prison/going clean. The logical consequence of preventing overdoses is that his customer base will have less churn, expand more over time, and be more profitable. The effect of that is that organized crime becomes a bigger business, with all that entails.
Some notes on the Principle of Indifference (2016)
In a world where humans develop superintelligence, what would you predict to see beforehand? Does what we’re seeing look like failure?

I’ve always found the dismissals of EY’s arguments to be pretty weak and people rarely engage on the actual arguments, even as his concerns have become more and more relevant with capability (in 2007 people thought AGI was at best 50yrs out and commonly people thought it was impossible, this was before any real deep learning success and GOFAI was a useless dead-end).

Most of the comments here are similarly dumb dismissals that don’t engage, and some even come across as highschool level mocking. It’s worth reading his A-Z book to at least understand why he holds his position.

Over time, the dumb responses from others make me think he’s probably more likely right than not. Given the extreme downside risks, I can understand why he argues this.

I work on a package manager and there are two main philosophies here.

1. Trust but verify - Assumes that some packages are inherently trustworthy and can be relied upon. This is where we are today.

2. Zero trust - Assumes you should not automatically trust anything, even if it appears to come from a trusted source. This is where it seems we're headed.

For OSS/central registries, #1 is followed. For internal registries, #2 is followed.

At least where the industry is headed towards are constant gates of "verification" following the #2 model. Think of the following:

1. Code signing

2. Reproducibility / Integrity

3. Verified sources

4. Least privilege

5. Monitoring tooling

6. 2FA

7. Vulnerability scanning

8. Allowlisting

etc

But are all those even practical for maintaining the ethos of open source? We'll find out.

> They're not context-dependent (why did you think this?),

They are, ρ5 is not the same as 2ρ5. A lot of symbols mean different things depending on whether they're being applied as monadic or dyadic operators. The circle operator is specially fun: A○B will apply a certain trigonometric operation depending to B depending on the value of A. That, to me, is very context-dependent.

> and any given APL program introduces zero new symbols.

Yes, but APL itself introduces a ton of new symbols. In fact, far more symbols than I've ever seen in my math degree.

> From Alan Perlis in APL's early days: "The large number of primitive functions, at first mind-numbing in their capabilities, quickly turn out to be easily mastered, soon almost all are used naturally in every program — the primitive functions form a harmonious and useful set."

This is a tautology to me, "once you master things you use them naturally". Of course. But the fact that APL and similar languages are very obscure would point to "once you master things" not being that easy and natural.
Can you give an example sku?
"Gruenberg also revealed that $13.3 billion of the $18 billion allocated to protect Silicon Valley Bank, or nearly 74% of the funds used to assist the customers, were used to back deposits for a mere 10 accounts. "

74% !?!? to 10 accounts?

holy cow!

such a large proportion of the funds used to protect such a small number of accounts?

some are really more equal then others :(
On my first read of this, it makes sense though. The mileage of infrastructure is the same regardless of use. Those powerlines still need maintenance even if LEDs are making homes more efficient.
10 years isn't a minimum threshold for every item. Any individual item could fail any time, and the overall distribution will have a shape somewhere between a bell curve and a long tail.

I don't know if there are any regulations around the 10-year claim, but if there are then I'd expect that it's either an average or something like a one-standard-deviation threshold, like 68% last past that but 32% don't.

"Guaranteed 10 years" doesn't actually say anything about expected lifetime at all, just that they'll do a warranty replacement if it fails sooner.
> It's hard to fight against the might of cheap Chinese manufacturing.

This has increasingly been a problem, repeatedly. Cheap overseas manufacturers see open-source projects as free money. They are basically legally immune for what they do, can easily outcompete the original designers and project, the plans are free and cheap to modify, what's not to love? And so it's happening to not just hardware but also software, with Android being borrowed into "HarmonyOS" and so on...

I feel this way about Dune Messiah, except I didn't appreciate it until after Children of Dune. Dune is one of my favorite books, if not my favorite. Dune Messiah is a *frustrating* read right after Dune. It's not until you see the whole story of the first three books as one narrative arc that it becomes enjoyable.

There is no address registration in the UK, for instance. It works OK for most people. British people are very opposed to it or to ID cards, despite that fact that it being OK to live in there with no ID whatsoever makes it attractive for illegal immigrants, which they are also opposed to.

- You have to specifically register your address on a special list for voting purposes. If you don't, you can't vote.

- Payroll taxes are for almost all people done automatically and there is no benefit to doing an individual tax return. Your employer handles the tax communication and informs the tax authorities of your address.

- Property taxes get sent to the address, regardless of who lives there.

- The health service is not insurance based, all residents are automatically covered, so they don't need your contact details.

- For anything else(pension, driving license etc.) you have to notify them individually and if you don't, that's your problem. There are no restrictions like having to take the driving test in the city you live in.

Thanks, I don't know how I jumped to that conclusion re-reading now. Just wanted it to be the case I suppose - I think browser-integrated/'native' errors would be nice. I suppose a browser extension could do it, quite a permission to give though (I assume they can't request media type scoped permission to read responses).
Cost optimization IS the limits of the technology. All the nice things you mention are the result of large amounts of work by exceptional people. This costs money. Most of them require higher-spec components, or more design time, or more complicated fabrication and assembly. These things also cost money.

Nobody's denying you nice things at low prices just out of spite. Nice things just cost more. To put a positive spin on it, our innate sense of 'nice' is a well tuned heuristic for good engineering (and/or whatever the Joneses can't afford).
Almost all LED bulb failures are because the power supply died due to overheating, not the LEDs themselves. I harvest the LEDs out of dead bulbs to use in hobby projects.

With Edison-style bulbs, anyway, the orientation they're mounted in makes a huge amount of difference. They're last a lot longer if they're oriented upright (base down) than in any other orientation because it reduces the heat buildup in the power supply.
As the other poster implied, it's the difference between a library of functions and an alphabet for composing functions. Concise symbols allow composition of "words" in a way that longer names really don't. There's a practical language design side too - I don't think the right-to-left evaluation and accompanying concision and logical reading order would work otherwise. Maps in other languages are so clumsy and clunky and backwards compared to the APL equivalent.
Over AppImage or APT, really? Do people ever go "great, it's not in my distro but there's a FlatPak available, just as good"?

They could likely have done something where anyone who really wanted a replacement got one, BUT - anyone who had one of the CPUs and didn't really care about a replacement could (register? send it in? get it marked at an official retailer?) and get $20 or $50 or something.

If it had been pretty open, most people would NOT have bothered complaining (except the AMD trolls hehehehe) - everyone I knew who had one was more interested in proving that they had the problem then actually resolving it, until they were told they had to "accept" damage goods.
This seems like an excellent business opportunity.

How a tiny company with few rules is making fake images mainstream
Probably much more fun than hanging with their mother all day

for a 2 year old? hardly.

more research on this topic is needed. i found at least one german report that claims that there are significant risk factors for early daycare that negatively affect the development of children and their relationship to the parents:

bad quality daycare, lack of motherly sensitivity, spending more than 20 hours a week in daycare, daycare before 2 years of age.

that report also claims that daycare generally affects the socioemotional competence of children, and that 25% of children that received full day daycare by age of 4 show significant problematic behavior even if the daycare is of good quality.

the quality of parental care is the strongest factor for the development of social and cognitive development.

another article claims that kindergarten does not have a positive effect before age 4.

on the other hand another article claims that children that receive some (but it doesn't say how much) external care in the first two years of life are less likely to later have psychological illnesses, and children that start kindergarten only at 4 are twice as likely to get sick. (personally i doubt that, but there it is, research is conflicting, and the jury is still out). but that same article also claims that things have improved over time. before the 90s, early daycare had a negative effect while after the effect became positive.

i am not saying that there is only one truth, but as a supporter of the attachment theory of parenting, i tend to side with the idea of keeping kids at home early, and only introducing daycare very gradually and i can also confirm some of this with my own experience.

In contrast to the other child comment of this... Thank You!! Any additional suggestions for high quality LED's would be super appreciated. I'm still on mostly halogen lighting in my home. I keep trying to switch the LED's but for some reason with my vision, the low CRI of even "decent" LED bulbs make it so I feel like I can't actually see anything.
