Nothing in the link you provided contradicts anything I've claimed. Some of it contradicts your claims, though. It confirms that Toyota has been working on EVs, plugin, and hybrid simultaneously over the last 25-30 years but they thought hybrid was the correct strategy to lead with, and again, it made them a market, and nobody has any idea why you think that was somehow a bad plan for the two decades it sold them a lot of cars.

And if you wanted to support some not-complicated just-wrong point, you should have picked something else, because Hollis is correct about many of their points in that article. Definitely regarding practical concerns surrounding refueling for many use cases / markets on a 2019-2024 horizon. And the author's closing paragraph where he basically insists the charge-at-night what-else-is-there-to-think-about use profile fixes all concerns makes him look as narrow as someone insisting fuel cells really should be taking off now any day now.

Hollis's statements about EV demand are also essentially correct circa 2019. "No demand" overstates the point, but he's entirely accurate for his market when he says "demand for electric is less than it is on hybrid." 2018 and 2019 were the first years EVs really started to look competitive domestically and they were still lagging hybrid sales substantially (we're only now getting to the point where EVs sold are basically at parity with hybrids).

And even there he's openly saying EVs are part of their roadmap but that they intend to follow demand, not try to lead it.

If there's something Toyota was wrong about demonstrated by the article, it was their bet they could lead the market to pick up on the advantages of fuel cells like they led the market to gas-electric hybrids. I'm not even sure they were wrong about the advantages, but clearly they weren't able get the market to follow them.

If that's what "they just got this one wrong, it's not complicated" really looks like to you, tell me some more areas in which I can bet against you.
> their government strikes me as rather xenophobic and terrified of change.

If you consider historical precedent I don't think you can blame them for that.
That could only be true if each of our desires made true were not of value to society. And I think its obvious lots of people derive pleasure in things that create value, from helping others to producing nice thing to throwing a great party.

Hell even the stereotypical hedonistic lifestyle provides value. From that friend who gets you out of the house to do something, the life and soul of the party who makes everyones night brighter, your friend the uber-optimist who encourages you when your down.
So once the suspect is identified, do you:

1. Swoop in and arrest them immediately

Or 2. Do comprehensive physical and electronic surveillance for say 24-72 hours to see if they try to get in contact with foreign nationals, and investigate whether they have a "dead man's switch" to release more documents?

Option 2 makes more sense to me. When cleaning this situation up it will be essential to know what he leaked and who he leaked it to. Unfortunately the NYT and Bellingcat may have forced law enforcement to move prematurely. That or friendly media got a tipoff to establish the desired narrative while the government does the "no comment during an active investigation" line.
"I imagined it could be true, which says a lot about society."

When I was a kid in grade school we had lots of different maps using different projections on the walls and in our text books. We learned about how Mercator is good for navigation and other maps are better at showing comparative size. It makes for a good topic in geography. Have we just given up on education?
I am actually shocked that the EFF seems to have no idea what is going on here.

An entity (Tornado Cash) was sanctioned for participating in money laundering activity. GitHub terminated their accounts not because of the code itself that existed, but because as a US organization they cannot do business with the sanctioned entity.

To provide a clearer example: A US based hotel chain would be free to rent a room to the developers for a vacation, but not for a meetup to work on Tornado Cash code.

This article very briefly encapsulates everything wrong with Effective Altruism: a boneheaded assumption that this money is being donated for its societal impact, an unwillingness to try to actually understand what's going on, instead choosing to engage with the Harvard endowment on its own terms by taking the university "mission statement" seriously, and a screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet purporting to identify better ways to donate based on character sheet style min-maxing.
From what I hear Levine is a beast, super hard worker with incredible memory and thinking speed. So I would say he most likely is aware of all the stuff his name is on, at least at a high level. Especially this sort of big project.
I work in biotech and as I am sure you know, it is the field where unknown phenomena are the expected norms. So yes, I made peace with not being able to know everything a long time ago.

But by the same virtue, it means I can't dismiss anything unless I have concrete evidence against it. It is better to leave rooms for doubts rather than settling with a half-answer and consider it a solved matter. To do so would mean I am either supremely confident in my ability to explain something or I am unable to admit there are things that prove me wrong.
I'm going to say that the US spending $5 trillion on wars in the past 20 years was a lot worse way to spend money than giving it to Harvard.

Yes, absolutely. My first long trip was to what we called the Near East in the mid ‘90s (I am still amazed my parents allowed me to go as I was barely out of school). I had an outdated guidebook and word of mouth from the other occasional traveller and that was it. Most villages had at most one phone and often none at all, and of course there was no cell network. You just sort of headed off with only a foggy notion of what to expect.

Traveling to Thailand a few years ago was quite different. The internet allowed us to preview every leg of our journey and there’s really not much mystery. On the other hand, it’s easier to get deals and figure out efficient ways to get around. But something has been lost, for sure.

Of course he didn't. I grew up behind the Iron Curtain, no one, not even high level party members took this bullshit seriously enough to write it truly in the farewell letter of their families. He wrote this to protect his family, if the state believes Yuri was not a true Soviet man they might take away their pension.

I definitely don't think the big schools like Harvard/Yale/etc. need any more money, but I will play devil's advocate here.

> "he donated $300 million in such as a way as to do as close as possible to zero good with it."

Oh there are a lot worse ways to spend it with the best of intentions. The Turkana frozen-fish plant is a classic example, a charitable project where back in around 1975 around $150 million (in today's money) was spent on a frozen fish factory next to a lake... a lake that regularly disappears... and in a location without reliable electricity [1] [2]. It was utterly useless.

There's a shocking amount of charitable money that just winds up having utterly no impact whatsoever.

On the other hand, giving $300 million to Harvard is probably going to have a good chance of some long-term impact. It is ultimately funding education for smart people who are well-positioned to use that education productively, and for research and arts that are meant to benefit humanity. It's not just throwing it away. I absolutely agree there are many institutions with a much greater need for the money, but "zero good" is extreme exaggeration. People have done much, much, MUCH worse with donating money.

Reminds me of UML. Instead of laboriously hand-writing all this nasty code, why not use a tool that can autogenerate it for us? After all, all that’s needed is a spec (UML)!

Of course, the spec is the work. LLMs are then just very potent at translating it to be machine-readable.

>I really don't think you can reasonably tell me you can't live in Vim

Vim at the end of the day is a terminal application and when it comes to debugging objectively it does not live up to the graphical interface of a proper IDE. Emacs is only slightly better in that regard, it's a GUI application but the age shows as well.

I don't think it's an accident that a lot of vim users are obsessive print-debuggers and that's just a plain handicap coming from living in a terminal. From just observing a lot of developers work I would say not knowing how to fully utilize debuggers and the modern interfaces we have for them is the number one productivity killer.

> This is a common misconception, that principle is not about code duplication but about conflicting logic.

Ah the good 'ol, "Nobody really implements DRY correctly, a true DRY follower does X", or the No True Scotsman Fallacy. OOP advocates love to use this too.

Unfortunately, there comes a point when the Wikipedia definition really doesn't matter. What matters is what's advocated and the most widely used definition of DRY, which is simply "Don't Repeat Yourself", with little to no qualifications. And unfortunately, this usually leads to overzealous use of the principle and the abstraction of two separate pieces of logic into one shared piece of logic, when it really should be two separate pieces of logic.

So I think Carmack is spot on in his assessment of how DRY is used in the day to day, and why it can be a bad idea to apply it to every situation. As with every programming "principle", the DRY principle should be used judiciously and the benefits/drawbacks of applying it in any particular scenario should be analyzed accordingly.

For the record, I think strong atheism, or the confidence that there is no god or after-life, is just as wrong as being confident that there is.

After hard-avoiding social networks, I spent some time thinking about this problem when I wanted to share pictures of my kids. One of my requirements was privacy, another was _not inventing a protocol_. I landed on RSS and built Haven[1], but I made the rookie mistake of putting my principles above usability. I want it to be hard-decentralized so everyone runs their own server--but nobody wants to run their own server.

I still have vision for what Haven could be, and supporting self-hosting remains important but I think I'll end up with something like the Matrix/Element model where there is a (free?) centralized server you can use, or you can host your own with full interoperability.
