Inflation has run at ~2-3% since the 1990's.[1] And according to that chart, inflation took off in 2020. You might want to check your reasoning on this issue.

This makes me sad.

Do you mean you coded for fun before graduating and not since, or ever?

Like you never coded a little game or a shell function to make your commandline usage easier or anything like that just for your own use, for fun?

Honestly it’s a double edged sword to like coding because then you get opinions about languages.

I could never be a mercenary in anything though. If I didn’t like coding I’d be a destitute individual.
This is already tested somewhat in the UK, where you're required by law to provide a password to an encrypted file or volume when asked. If you're in possession of the encrypted volume, the courts assume you know the password, and throw you in jail if you don't. Obviously this can be easily abused by slipping an encrypted USB drive into someone's backpack.

The point is that they will look at intention and surrounding context - is there a crime leading to you in some way and could it have been facilitated in part by encrypted messaging? Did you also transit a billion random Spanish words during this time frame? If so, it seems to follow by their current laws and logic that they can assume this was encrypted information and therefore broke the law. And if you refuse to decrypt it for them, that's another broken law.

I've been running a Jitsi server for a few years on my home network. Came in very handy during the lockdown. The setup is Jitsi running on a Debian 11 VM that is on a CentOS Stream 8 host. The hardware is an Intel NUC which has 16G of RAM. The VM has been allocated 4G. The typical number of users in one session is about 15. This Jitsi server is reachable via the public Internet as well as on my own Wireguard network.
Part of the issue for me is that I don't think her research on quantum foundations is viewed very highly. Some would probably consider it completely pointless. In her videos, she claims that the majority of physicists do not understand quantum mechanics and that AI might find patterns in the randomness of quantum mechanics. This doesn't put her tendancy to tell lay people how everyone else's research is a waste of time in a good light. She's just arguing that her research is more deserving of funding.

Plenty of her points aren't without merit but she's frequently disengenious and doesn't give the full argument for what she criticises.

An example is her criticism on "decoherence solves the measurement issue" where she explains the average of multiple particles doesn't tell you what happens to just one of the particles involved. She's not wrong in the example she gives but decoherence actually can be applied to a single particle. Compare with PBS space time, they present both sides and offer an opinion as their opinion not fact.

I recently watched a lecture on issues in particle physics. Naturalness was mentioned due to a need to ensure the theory gave sensible answers, to ensure it was renormalizable, that's far more reasonable to how Sabine presents it.
Sometimes pictures of the universe look like dithering, to me I see a similar arising of patterns when looking at globular clusters vs dithering noise patterns.

In fact, I say this because I was looking at this today:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Centauri

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri

Very similar shapes to me!
I think the missing part is the "narrative of".

When the media is already talking about there being inflation, especially when they've been talking about it being anticipated for a while before it showed up, that makes it much easier for companies to raise prices and just say, "It's just like everyone's saying! It's just inflation! You can't blame us!"

That's not the same as saying "inflation means companies raising prices; it's tautological."

yeah i was also under the 20mil impression initially until building a system that worked with a 500mil row table without any problems (just a beefy RDS instance, nothing crazy distributed or anything). Schema changes became a pain at that point, so i would probably split it if I were to do it again, but reads and writes never gave us much trouble.
I went to Buenos Aires on vacation earlier this year (late February / early March). I had a wonderful time and would have no hesitation about going back.

There were a few annoyances, such as the different exchange rates and it being nearly impossible to buy a subway pass, but otherwise no more challenging than anywhere else.
"The action — which will only go forward if at least 1,000 Seattle-based employees sign up to participate — is the combined effort of two parties: one is an informal group that sprang up in response to the return-to-office mandate, and the other is Amazon Employees for Climate Justice."

I'm not sure how many tech workers are in Seattle, but 1,000 seems like a tall bar to clear.
I've played around quite a bit with slab allocation in C to get my interpreters to run faster, and this post inspired me to do a quick benchmark of a design I've been iterating.

malloc/free: 207294429ns

slab: 74795526ns

A 74% reduction in runtime is pretty nice.

Some of the early Samsung Android phones also had excellent slide-out keyboards. Would love to have one again but that form factor is probably dead. Device manufacturers want to sell the same few SKUs worldwide instead of producing a hundred different variants of hardware keyboard layouts.

We've seen again and again what happens when you destroy academic standard setting with excuses like "oh, the smart students will help bring up their peers". Everyone ends up in one jumbled mass and excellence is dragged down by the average to form undifferentiated mediocrity.

See Communist China before they re-implemented the Gaokao (their college entrance exam), many schools now in California, and once-prominent public schools like Dunbar High in the D.C. area (successful despite the poverty of the area in which it operated-see https://www.creators.com/read/thomas-sowell/10/16/dunbar-hig...).

More than the border skirmishes, China and India have a trade relationship that is predatory. It can even be considered colonial, with India being disadvantaged. India basically imports goods valued over 100 Billion USD from China and in return gets 0 opportunity to participate in the Chinese economy. The nature of the trade is intentional from the Chinese side. They cannot tolerate India as a major player in Asia and would rather deal with a loose entity like the ASEAN. The only thing India has going for it is that they are not indebted to the Chinese.

India is aware of this and is desperately trying to decouple from the Chinese economy. On the other hand India has deep ties to all the major Western economies with healthy trade balances that are not skewed either way.

People claiming India is looking to ditch the Western alliance and hook up with the Chinese are hilariously ill informed and unintelligent and lazy. India sees China as its top existential threat. Top Indian public officials have gone on to the extent to openly state that India's nukes are only meant for China. India's main foreign policy imperative since the days of the cold war has been to prevent a Russia-China alliance. This objective has now seemingly failed.

But a Russia-China alliance that will take shots against India is such a crazy nightmare for India that even now they are trying everything possible to maintain good relations with Russia, in spite of the Russians being pushed into a Chinese embrace. Ukraine's total destruction (or not) in the grand scheme of things is not of equal concern to India, compared to a hostile China that is joined by an equally hostile Russia.

Edit: In addition, it has to be mentioned, that India has always been skeptical of western support. Recent US withdrawal from Afghanistan is seen as proof that the West can never be relied upon and will ditch their friends for minor political gains. The unreliable nature of the west and the potential existential danger of an anti-India Russia-China alliance will keep India away from endorsing the Ukrainian side in the current war or even taking hostile steps against any Russian behaviour in the future. Neutrality in the current Ukraine conflict is the best any informed western analyst can even hope for.

> Everything else is just meaningless argument about constant factors.

For the inhabitants of Earth, it most certainly is not meaningless, and the whole point is that they're not constant factors. For one, the composition of the atmosphere plays a huge role, and it is not constant thanks to both natural and human-driven processes.
The only major difference between work now and work 15 years ago is there's more remote work, and nobody has been taught how to work remote. There are multiple books, blogs and guides on it, but nobody reads anything anymore, so here's the tl;dr:

- Schedule all your work. Schedule when you'll check e-mails, slack, teams. Schedule when you'll have office hours. Schedule when you'll do research. Schedule when you'll pair with someone. Schedule lunch. Your calendar should be booked pretty much every hour of the day, except for meeting day, when you keep a 3-hour window open for meetings.

- Silence all notifications except meeting reminders. Provide an escalation path for use in emergencies. Make e-mail rules, slack rules, etc that will bypass a snoozed notification and go right to you. Put your phone number in your Slack, Teams, Outlook, etc profile.

- When you do have meetings, be strategic. Schedule meetings only when you have already done the work to prepare for them, have an agenda, have done research, and need consensus or troubleshooting. Choose shorter meeting windows, like 15 minutes, 25 minutes, 45 minutes. Have someone keep a timer to remind people before the meeting comes to a close and end it on time. Don't schedule a meeting to find out if you need a meeting. Don't end the meeting without action items and meeting notes. Don't schedule a meeting when an e-mail back-and-forth will do.

- Prioritize working asynchronously. Push back on meetings and calls, and instead ask for details in e-mail, Slack, Jira, Confluence, GitHub Issues/PRs, etc.

- Actually learn how to use your ticketing and wiki system. Don't make it someone else's job to organize your own work. Use the systems to make your work more efficient. Put notes in as you do work, and direct people to go look for your current progress there rather than bug you. Be habitual about keeping status, progress, etc consistently up-to-date. If someone asks for status, point them at a URL to your status updates. If this seems arduous, there are almost always existing tools designed to make it easier.

- Document and publicize your workflow. What your schedule is, how you organize it, how to contact you and under what circumstances. Make sure anyone in your company can find out whether they need to contact you and when and how.

- Try hard not to multitask. If you aren't getting several tickets done per week, your work hasn't been broken up sufficiently, or you're jumping around too much.

- Keep track of your time and work so that you can account for it. Measure toil vs feature work. If the toil goes over 50%, tell your boss, and keep a record of it. After a month of that you should be able to estimate your lost time, extrapolate it out to a year, and show them how much time/money they're losing. If your boss doesn't care, have a skip-level.

If you think any of that is crazy, just remember some of us have been doing Open Source development for 20+ years without meetings. If IRC, pull requests, and mailing lists are good enough to create the foundations of most of the world's software, it's probably good enough for your job.
I can't do generated images, especially like in this video. Makes my head hurt or makes me nauseous, either way I can't imagine who would really watch nothing but unfiltered image gen like this. I think you'd go insane trying to make sense of it.
The two things that help are a) if it isn't too deep, like 4 nested comment threads deep on a three day old thread, then someone may chime in while I'm away and make a similar enough point that when I come back later, I don't anything to say/add, and b) even if no one does say anything, readers aren't dumb. if I say water is wet, but someone responds, calling me an an idiot and that water isn't wet. even if no one chimes in to further respond yes it is and here's why, readers can determine for themselves and decide water is or isn't wet.
> The poll I linked shows a difference in thought among white vs Hispanic vs Black perceptions of whether or not whites benefit from advantages in society. I don't see any definition of what a societal advantage is

In the absence of a definition, people’s reading of the question may reflect political polarization, but not necessarily about how a multiethnic society should work. For example, I think the constitutional design of a limited, federalized government was killed a century ago by non-Anglo immigrants. Certainly, black people generally believe in a robust federal government that can protect them from racism, and both they and Hispanics support big government with substantial investments in education and healthcare that can help reduce disparities. But that doesn’t mean they necessarily support the social and cultural rituals around race advanced by white liberals, or the more extreme policies such as racial preferences.

For that reason, it’s important to distinguish between “affirmative action” and “racial preferences. Originally, “affirmative action” mean taking affirmative steps to end explicit racial discrimination that was known to be happening. Today, it can encompass things like taking affirmative steps to ensure that universities and companies are marketing openings to qualified applicants of various races. Obviously that is a policy that has pretty broad support.

But poll after poll shows that minorities oppose using race as a factor in the actual admissions and hiring decisions. In California, Prop 16 was defeated in every single majority Hispanic county: https://thehill.com/opinion/education/526642-hispanics-shock.... Racial preferences, and similar policies such as “diversity requirements” (i.e. quotas) are a core approach for white liberals that most minorities reject.
My favorite sentence.
> how techbros ruin the perception of legitimately useful technology

Well said - that really is key. Fortunately or not (depending on your values), it's just a given that if there's a means out of the crisis (who knows?), tech just is going to be a major part of the plan.

I don't think this was necessarily true, say, 40 years or so ago. It might have been possible then to put economies on slower burns (pun intended), and concentrate on social/political/ethical adjustments, wealth redistribution, urban redesign etc.

But there's isn't time for long-term solutions now. Short/medium-term emergency survival is going to require massive tech deployments. But if they're going to work, the direction needs to be determined by rational considerations, not neurotic and childish billionaire egos.

Having said that, I don't think it's going to happen. A crash is more likely at this late stage.
I’m sick of the QC for spacetime. Back when I was a kid, spacetime was highly reliable. Glitches in the matrix or continuum were almost nonexistent. Sad that you Gen Z-ers can’t keep it together.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed. I’ve been having better luck with 3.5 recently as long as I use the API to give it some examples to start with.

I used to host a Janus server, which is similar.

Was fairly straightforward to setup. Eventually I replaced it with Twilio as it was easier to scale across regions.
Agreed. I have a handful of tables with over 2 billion rows and have experienced no issues. One database is 2.5TB in size. I feel like 20 million rows is a relatively small MySQL table.
My math profs warned us that, while the overall contents and concepts included were the same, the different editions of the textbook sometimes had chapters in a slightly different order and problems slightly rearranged. This meant it was possible to learn from any edition, but only the required edition was guaranteed to work for assigned problem sets.
I'm intrigued why MS decided to have GlobalMemoryStatus return a negative number if there is more than 4GB, rather than returning the maximum value.
Define "resources".

If we want to speak in absolutes, entropy cannot be reduced; we will only capture so much energy over time, and I refer you to http://www.thelastquestion.net/

If we get a little zen and allow for the ever-elusive human joy to be the ultimate resource, then I'm not sure we can necessarily say that it's finite. I guess without humans there can be no human joy, but why not machine/post/trans-human joy?

Whoever dies with the most toys wins, right? :)

Absolutely correct.

Not to mention most of my time as a "Developer" is spent managing busted CI/CD pipelines, container crap, whatever cloud-yaml things, fighting broken dependencies/build issues, cargo-culting test suites.

I program way more on weekends/nights on toy/tutorial stuff than I do at work, ironically.
In 1903, the fastest airplane in the world had a top speed of 31 mph. Just 44 years later, the fastest airplane exceeded the previously unthinkable speed of 891 mph. Twenty-nine years after that, the record was set at 2,193 mph. If these trends continue, we can expect the new speed record to be set later this year at 32,663 mph (mach 43).

These arguments were tiresome even before the enlightenment.
Here's the difference between IMAP and POP3. IMAP is a cloud service client, and POP3 is a store-and-forward, more or less. When you configure IMAP, you're operating on files on the server, and some or all of them may be cached, but the client will want to synchronize state with the server at all times. With POP3 you can specify "Leave on server" or "Delete from server". The POP client simply connects once and downloads everything (or everything that's new) and then you definitely have local copies of all those messages.

POP3 is good for use cases where you're rapidly migrating out and you want to wipe the messages clean, server-side. Or, if you believe the server will play hijinks with your messages or folders in some way, POP3 will give you a snapshot from time of download.
I’m completely with you. Paywalled battery? Heated seats? Bananas. Just wanted to point out that it was meant as a critique. Or maybe to show off that I read your link :)

Gave it a skim. What specifically is biased about it? Even ideas that are wrong need to have articles about those labels.

There could also be an article about a "woke pipeline" if that's a concept label people are taking about.
Totally get that!

Thanks for taking the time to check it out either way!
It might not be as bad as it sounds.

It looks like HP handles recycling old cartridges. It might be better than the alternative -- people buying ink and disposing of the cartridge in a landfill, rather than the cartridge being re-used.
> The way things are going, there may not be a union in two generations.

You mean might be a new union? I can agree with that. A fragmented Europe is not stable, if the EU dissolves in the next 10 years, it's almost certain there will be some sort of union in the next 2 generations. Whether there'll be another war in Western Europe between now and then is another question altogether.
Why is it big is that California have too much power for encouraging/removing technologies.

Interesting that they're using intel GPUs,
~20 Petabytes of RAM. Wow.

FTA: "the Aurora supercomputer is outfitted with 10.9 PB of DDR5 system DRAM, 1.36 PB of HBM capacity through the CPUs, and 8.16 PB of HBM capacity through the GPUs. The system DRAM achieves a peak bandwidth of 5.95 PB/s, the CPU HBM achieves a peak bandwidth of 30.5 PB/s and the GPU HBM achieves a peak bandwidth of 208.9 PB/s. For storage, the system is equipped with a 230 PB DAOS capacity that runs at a peak bandwidth of 31 TB/s & is configured in a total of 1024 nodes."
I don't know what you want for an example. I gave you several links to smga policy and detailed discussion of the legal complications. Did you read them and do you have questions? If you want a Twitter post of a farmer dying, I don't have that.

If you're a fundamental position is that legally established property rights don't matter and are revocable without compensation, I don't know that we will be able to find common ground and share information.

I personally know a lot of people going through this and find some of your characterizations dehumanizing and offensive, on par with wishing someone's family dies a slow death of cancer. For some of these people, it would have been kinder if the state simply showed up and shot them.
