I wanted to answer that those laws are not about the enabling tools, but I am probably wrong as some of the suggestions are to "require automobile manufacturers to sell the same service materials and diagnostics directly to consumers or to independent mechanics as they provide exclusively to their dealerships."

So diagnostics and ready materials, not the blueprints and access to the raw materials or machinery. You should be able to but spare parts and make sure they work, but not manufacture them yourself.

What is the equivalent in software? splitting the software to libraries with known APIs?
There's a difference between dealing with shortcomings or taking up a DIY project and contending with malice, or buying from a vendor with fundamentally antagonistic incentives. Both may be struggles, but only one is an insult.

There's a practical difference as well, in terms of what is a regression vs. what is intended behavior come back to haunt you. This shapes what's likely to recur as well as what's the longterm trend over time.

What you're doing here is like pretending that a car with a smaller gas tank than you're used to presents the same kind of problem as one that reports every route you take in order to collect a fee on behalf of someone else— never mind the fact that half of those posts are explicitly about running Linux on hardware not intended for it, or that you are inevitably going to find advice about obsessive optimizations on a site called 'Hacker News'. None of the issues those posts raise are about user-hostile behavior from Linux OS vendors, or the exploitation of user data, or the subversion of the user's attention.

Exactly, except for implicit types and modifying state, indeed. Those are the reasons why I prefer the above.

(Not the OP) We don't know ho;w the human mind works, or how "intuitions" or "inspiration" come about, but that's no reason to call them "metaphysics". Clearly, they are physical processes that somehow take place in the human brain.

The questions you ask in this comment are good questions, for which we have no good answers. That doesn't mean there's anything supernatural going on, or that anyone is assuming something supernatural is happening. We just don't know how human scientists come up with new hypotheses, that's all there is to it.

But it's not like there's some kind of principled way to do it. There's no formulae, no laws, where we can plug in some data and out pops a hypothesis ready for the testing. Maybe we will find how to define such laws or formulae at some point, but for now, all we got is some scientist waking up one day going "holy cow, that's it!". And then spending the next ten years trying to show that's what it really is.

Not an expert in load balancing, but in similar problems (work sharing / work stealing, MPI get/put) it makes sense to pull only if you can pull fast enough to avoid incurring prohibitive latency at every request/message.

Multithreading-based work stealing à la Cilk relies on extremely cheap thread mechanisms and implementation to minimize communication.

In another similar situation, HPC switches are credit based so that until you hit congestion, you can “instantaneously” know if a remote is ready to receive.

This isn't a formal explanation, of course.

Edit: after some thought, that's not really the distinction that is made for load balancing. There's already knowledge of the remote state required for pushing to the last loaded queue. So the difference between pull and push is about having one queue vs several. In that sense it is like supermarkets that implement the more efficient one queue to every cashier Vs the more traditional one queue per cashier. In supermarkets there is a choice to make because there's other constraints, but just optimising for load balancing it's strictly better to have a single queue, if you only have one input.
I like the term “Social Justice Fundamentalism”. I’m a fan of social Justice. I’m also a fan of feminism and liberalism.

But some of what we are seeing today isn’t that, and I think using the term fundamentalism to describe it, which, I suspect deliberately, draws a parallel between the efforts to force everyone to adopt these moral views with the attempts by religious fundamentalists to force everyone to adopt their views, makes a lot of sense.
True, I should probably have been more specific, with 'LLMs' I was just referring to the current Transformer based models.

And yes, we could of course get the right answer to PARITY problems, but only if we were allowed some kind of scratch space (mental or external) -- even if only for the single bit of current state in the sequence.

But that's precisely what Transformers aren't afforded, right? They have to look at the whole problem once and need to derive their solution from that; there's no 'going through the sequence one bit at a time' for them. So they are really good (amazing actually, when you think about it) at performing the 'single thought' action, but still severely limited because they don't have the equivalent of a writable working memory.

It's one thing to say "their constituents support bad policies and are being cruel," which is totally fair. They are being cruel. They are supporting bad policies. They are often voting in a way that is even against their own self-interest just to "own the libs." But it's another to call them literally illiterate and play into redneck stereotypes, i.e. engaging in the exact same of social behavior they do against their political opponents.

What they are doing and supporting is terrible on its own.
Kinda refreshing - within the ever growing genre of stories about Heroku's downfall into junk status - to find such an article with a higher level of detail and analysis of the origins of the problem.

There's one thing that somewhat surprised me though: this line:

> "In 2018 Heroku was pretty much the only option for a newbie like me to get started with web-development"

Was it? Really? I mean, I'm not saying the author did anything wrong in choosing Heroku at the time (after all, who could have known back then what a dumpster fire Heroku would turn out to be), and the commercial success Heroku achieved before going down the gutter shows that it must have had some good reasons going for it, at least on paper before the users are confronted with problems that make them judge the situation differently…

… but I don't really get where that "pretty much the only option" vibe would come from. Maybe It's just me having completely different selection criteria, but from my perspective, there were lots of other options to "get started with web-development" and Heroku was just one among many. I don't see at all by what measure Heroku would have seemed like "pretty much the only option"?
Excel is the big one. The web version is really, really good on its own terms, but desktop excel really is in a class of its own both in terms of capability and penetration.

Yes, it does give people regular reasons to point and laugh at it, and it's probably dangerous how much of the modern world depends on it, but you only have to use a competitor for a very short period of time to realise that displacing it would be a very, very tall order.
Cause everyone already had learned how to "touch"-gui, but microsoft in typical arrogance, redesigned it from the bottom up, throwing all the learnings away, you either had from android or macos. And like introducing a third language, to do the same tasks you already can perform fluent in two other languages, it was just this constant stepping into the void of expectations.
It came out 2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(design_language) and was thus 9 years to late (1 iphone) and 5 years to late (1 android). It was moment were microsoft dediced to go uphill, that journey developers usually have to face, when dragging users away from windows (aka the universal gui). I mean, the normal user learns windows in school.

You only make that sort of learning effort on rare ocassions. And you dont make it just because your vendor locks you out of a previoulsy perfectly working for you ("You learned to know it blind") device.

I recently read Between Silk and Cyanide, the autobiography of the guy who made the codes for the OP's SOE.

https://www.amazon.com.au/Between-Silk-Cyanide-Codemakers-19...

He's the guy who came up with the idea of using silk for codes, as silk won't be felt during pat-downs (paper will be felt). There's lots in the book of trying to work with local business who were obviously not willing to part with their valuable silk.

The book goes much more into details of transmitting these codes, the hassle of bruteforcing when somebody misremembered their code or mistranposed (there was an army of women working 24/7 trying out all possible codes). Highly suggested if the OP piqued your interest!
I now have two new goals.

S - Spaghetti: Weave a tangled web of code, just like a master chef crafting a delicious pasta dish. Complex code is the key to intrigue and job security.

P - Precarious: Make sure the code is fragile, such that any minor change could lead to a cascade of issues. This keeps everyone on their toes and ensures that only the bravest dare to modify it.

A - Ambiguous: Write code that leaves others guessing about its purpose and functionality. Code should be a puzzle to solve, and the more obscure, the better.

G - Gratuitous: Don't be afraid to add unnecessary features and lines of code. After all, more code means more functionality, and who doesn't like more functionality?

H - Haphazard: Consistency is overrated. Embrace the chaos and develop without a plan, jumping from one idea to the next as inspiration strikes.

E - Entangled: Ensure that all components of the project are intricately connected, like a delicate lattice of spaghetti noodles. This guarantees that every change will have far-reaching consequences and keeps the team on high alert.

T - Time-consuming: Write code that takes a long time to understand, modify, and debug. The longer it takes, the more valuable it must be.

T - Tangled: Never refactor or simplify. The more convoluted the code, the more creative it appears, and the more impressed your colleagues will be.

I - Impenetrable: Write code that is difficult to test and verify, so that only the most determined and adventurous developers will dare to attempt it. This maintains a sense of exclusivity and mystique around your work.
But that extra time is the PM's job to add on, not the engineer's. If you ask an engineer "how long will it take," you should expect to get back "here's how long it will take me," not "here's how long it will take me and the other people you manage".

It's outrageous that the western countries turn a blind eye to this. I was shocked to hear a chinese expat on radio admit that she and her friends are afraid to talk out against their government even here.

Not only that, but the solution is trivial. See how the UK dealt with the problem of russian spies, which plagued the country during much of the Cold War. They expelled all the Russian diplomats running the spies and the problem vanished virtually overnight.
Seems like sage advice, as far as it goes. Tough problem.

Microsoft had the last laugh though. In the 2000s, Blackberry basically owned "enterprise cloud" for mobile communications; BBM and BES.

Nuclear can be used as peaker plants.

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/nuclear-powered-peaker...

They just don’t bother because running at 100% is effectively free, due to the incredibly low cost of fuel. That brings me to the other problem with this article. Nuclear fuel is light and easily transported, so they could source it from multiple countries.
The incompatability of renewables and nuclear is often overstated.

The real issue is that all the solutions (storage, import/export, green hydrogen, batteries, curtailment etc.) would allow you to build lots more renewables than nuclear so it's silly to build more nuclear.

Doesn't have quite the same impact on existing, non-end-of-life nuclear though, though with continued cost reductions it is getting there.

> Getting around on an electric bike will prolong your life.

Not if you get killed by a car. That's his point.

Bikes are great, but much more so in a society that recognises the benefits of bikes than in a society that sees than as alien and as targets.

It does help when more people start to bike. There is safety in numbers, not to mention more understanding and recognition. Netherland has the advantage that we've never really gotten rid of our bikes; as soon as cars were about to take over in the 1960s, people started to fight back. People here have been fighting for bikes and against cars for more than 50 years. In the US, that fight doesn't even have remotely the kind of momentum that it had in Netherland 50 years ago, so there's quite a lot of distance to catch up there.

Incidentally load balancing and dynamic routing in satellite networks looks like a complicated problem and is a subject of active research:

The Key2 was a truly great phone; BB messed it up by pricing it too high, then releasing a cheaper version (Key2 LE) that had a much worse keyboard. Meanwhile the original quickly sold out its initial production run, and the supply wasn't replenished. It was either Key2 LE or nothing.
This is very likely a bug in the simulation. My simplified implementation of PEWMA prioritises servers that have had no traffic, in order to send at least 1 request to all servers. There will be a window, until this new server serves its first request, where it is considered the highest priority server.

I doubt very much that this would be part of any real world implementation

I think that might perhaps be the biggest issue in the US. There seems to be a massive amount of distrust separating people. And some groups are eagerly amplifying that distrust with their culture war nonsense.

The fuel dump is to prevent explosions before reentry that could damage the spacecraft it just delivered or create unnecessary space debris.

https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2018/01/fuel-dump-of-zumas-...

> Rocket stages always carry excess fuel, as you don't want the engine to cut out prematurely by running out of fuel. So it always has a sufficient fuel margin. Once its work is done, this excess fuel is often vented, also known as "depressurization".

> Depressurization and fuel venting avoids the risk of the rocket stage blowing up, for example as a result of static electricity building up in the rocket stage. You do not want your rocket stage to blow up, as it creates an uncontrolable swarm of debris and includes the risk that particles are ejected into orbits where they do not decay quickly, adding to the space debris risk.

As for burning up, it's a bit of both. Some material burns up, some larger chunks splash into the ocean. Same thing happened a while back when the US dropped bits of Skylab on Australia. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-31/nasa-skylab-fell-to-e...

> Legal perspective? The only way you can enforce legality is with force

Dubious. The current legality of the situation is that Taiwan is de jure part of China (PRC), and the ROC is nobody. Nobody is enforcing that with force, it's maintained by the unwillingness of the ROC to provoke the PRC, and the unwillingness of the PRC to risk their credentials and trade over this, or they're hopeful one day the ROC will peacefully join them if relations and trade are good enough.

> Countries gain sovereignty either when ... they have the means to occupy and defend the land they claim is soverign.

Haiti, or much more recently Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria, North Cyprus, etc. prove this wrong. Even if you have full control of some land and claim to have full sovereignty over it, unless others recognise you, you're in a very bad situation. No international recognition -> no trade or international relations -> perpetually poor.
