Maybe a bit early to be confident about it, but the more we see architecturally simple artificial neural nets able to perform tasks of human perception (speech, hearing, vision) and now language and primitive cognition, the less likely it seems that the brain is using a radically different or more complex approach to do these same things.

Evolution appears (as one might logically expect) to act in localized incremental ways. The result is that our body+brain is more of a modular design than a monolithic intractably complex one. We seem to be well on the way to understanding how these cortical functions of perception and cognition are working and what types of representations are being used, so once we refine our understanding of the other major moving parts such as thalamus (and thalamo-cortical loop) and hippocampus, it seems we'll be well on the way to understanding the overall architecture.

To add to your list, I think cities need better options for last mile transport.

A big issue with public transit is that it gets you to the ballpark of where you want to go but your commute from there might still be lengthy enough that you need to call an Uber anyway.

A lot of cities tend to have really great main trunk transit, but things get really sparse coming off of the trunks. Having better options for spreading out from the trunks would really help
Prowlarr is also important if you do multiple *arr. Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr. instead of configuring your indexers (multiple) in multiple places? You point the searches at Prowlarr and then keep it updated.

I personally run a fairly modified version HTPC on a QNAP (was synology but upgraded earlier this year - better base board + dedicated graphics card)

In some respect being a software engineer today is really hard. OTOH you want to do the right thing, so you don't want to invent a solution yourself. So you look for available resources, you go online. There you're going to encounter either:

1. Spam from junior devs who started a blog so to build a name for themselves.

2. Spam from SEO mills peddling junior level wisdome so they can get ad money.

3. Spam from software vendors that try and convince your that X is the best solution for everything. (Looking at you Confluent)

4. SEO Spam by software consultencies mainly interested in hitting the relevant buzzwords so the suits will find their site.

5. Spam from FAANG employees showcasing their google scale solutions made to attract talent.

What is the engineer to do? Either cargo cult the FAANG engineers, you don't got their scale but atleast these are actual solutions. Or invent it yourself. Which maybe scary after you read all of these conflicting advices.

We really are drowning in spam. Thanks heavens we we employed humanities best to create LLMs so we can now automate this. /s

But seriously, seems like most useful information is siloed in the brains of battle worn engineers who are surrounded by an inflation of junior devs. I have a feeling this field grew too fast and we are losing a lot of wisdom and knowledge.

The data linked notes that a typical kitchen vent hoods only somewhat reduce benzene levels. I expect that’s because it’s cheap and noisy and ineffective, as any rental apartment’s over-eager smoke detectors are happy confirm.

Modern homes with little or no fresh air exchange are incompatible with open fire cooking, and vent hoods are not enough. Benzene levels after gas cooking are just another, somewhat more cancerous, reiteration of that point.

Great advice, spot on

At work we have this terrible “Enterprise Architecture” team comprising of highly paid people who haven’t written a single line of code and who don’t know the intricacies of our business but keep proposing complicated “Event Driven Architectures” and “Micro this and Micro that” and just reciting the latest buzz words just to keep appearing cool.

Is this all vaccines or just the covid vaccine? I would think it hard to argue with the smallpox or polio vaccines…. If it’s only the covid vaccine, which one (as their formulations and mechanisms are different)? Is the causes-autism effect restricted to particular age cohorts, or are we seeing autism appearing in the shingrix crowd? Didn’t think covid shots were given to the very young?

Where do flu shots or the ones needed for world travel fit in?
From a policy standpoint, including AKI will still be a MUST, as will SKIs in CA certificates. Only in end-entity certificates will SKI be NOT RECOMMENDED.

That said, they all suffer from the same problem - they look like they're derived from the public key, but there's no guarantee of this. Their only use is as an opaque identifier for looking up the issuer of a certificate, and only some certificate validators use them (e.g. Microsoft's); other validators (e.g. Mozilla's) ignore AKI/SKI entirely and just look up issuers by subject name, which works completely fine, suggesting that AKI/SKI are unnecessary.
I don't think so. My problem was that I had a weak grasp of many basics concepts, and more critically I did not know in which areas I was weak. So while it's easy ex post to say "I could skip such and such section", it would have been impossible to make this judgment ex ante.

And in fact, I think a failure mode many people make is trying to predict which things they already know and then skipping those. This allows for blind spots to persist.

I suppose the one way to skip things correctly would be to have a coach. But that comes at a new cost ($), but maybe that works for some people.
As illustrated in the video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V1kOLhhSjl8 it is hard to solve transportation by patching part of it.

How people go to work, get health care, buy groceries, go to school, get entertainment, etc all require transportation. The denser the city, the better it is suited to do transportation right. London is notorious for its traffic, but given its size and population, I think it is doing very decently. I wonder how many transport improvements is coming from an US centric hammer, i.e. a better, environmental friendlier car

This question keeps getting 'told at' the polygamous community.

It is true, people break up, people in polygamous relations have more breakups because - they involve more people - more people get broken up.

And yeah, it is harder: one bad seed ruins the bunch, so to speak, so poly break up happen more often, sure...

This kind of 'question' is showing preconceived notions and bigotry that all polygamous relationships are unhealthy.

How about debt/ GDP ratio that fell down to 82.8% in 2019 right before the pandemic. This trend was really easy to find 84.5, 84.3, 83.5, 82.8 (pandemic)

Making longer term predictions is much harder than retroactively looking on a few backward looking and easily gamed indicators. Rather than directly looking at GDP you need to compare things like GDP per capita PPP with other countries adjusting for demographics, economic development, etc but it’s really not worth getting into with someone that’s thinking in terms of political ideology.
Surrogate pairs are such a useless thing to exist.

A unicode character is just a number (of up to around 21 bits). The encoding of this number, and the unicode value itself, can (and should) be made completely independent. Note how UTF-8 did not introduce any useless values in unicode itself. That's because this code is sane (if a bit inefficient due to over-focus on error correction) and correctly makes its encoded byte values independent of the numeric value being encoded.

For UTF-16, initially they thought 16 bits would be enough, and then they had to hack something on top of it to make it variable length. Fair enough, but even that hack, they could have done without introducing useless unicode values: they could have defined the variable length 16-bit code to use the unused codes to indicate variable length, and then add/subtract values while decoding it, that is only use the unused UTF-16 values to tell how to use the remaining UTF-16 bits to take existing consecutive values from unicode. This would have been not a bigger mess than surrogates are, be transparent to users (since the decoder deals with the math), and left the mess inside of UTF-16 only (which at this point they should have known was already game over since the planned 16 bits didn't fit) instead of infecting the rest with its mess.

So not only is UTF-16 the ugliest encoding ever by being the worst of both worlds (variable length and yet bigger than a byte and not ascii compatible) and damages both windows (ruined filename loading in multiplatform C libraries, horrible "wstrings" in windows code) and java/javascript (UTF-16 in the language while the internet they interface with are UTF-8, exposing programmers to "surrogates"), but in addition in the making of this ugly code they managed to also uglify unicode itself, and UTF-8 (which has to deal with the fact it can refer to surrogates), and any other future encoding of unicode too!
The “last mile” problem you mention isn’t really a transit problem, it’s an urban design problem.

In a properly designed area, anywhere you’d likely want to go would be walkable from a transit stop. This is often non-obvious to people who grew up in car-centric areas, where everything is necessarily spaced exceedingly far apart to make room for parking.
Why are there Mullvad refugees?
RW locks have a pretty limited space where they're useful (because readers are still contending on a cache line to update the reader count). They're similar to a mutex + ref count. They pretty much only work well in situations where there aren't many readers and they hold the lock for a relatively long amount of time. (Ok, there are sharded reader count variants that reduce the cost of the reader count, but they're still only useful for relatively long reader lock sections.)

Instead, if a mutex showed up as hot in a profile, I'd look at things like RCU/hazard pointers for read-biased data structures in most situations, or trying to shard or otherwise split data between cores such that there isn't much contention on the boring, vanilla mutex.

I interpreted "bullshit" to mean fluff. Much of the content I encounter appears to be regurgitated trivial examples from tutorials. Entire websites are dedicated to this.

Probably because they can't.

The Khanmigo chatbot that KA is rolling out supposedly helps with this problem of relevance.
Sort of related, but this is one reason I moved into “Frontend“ about 10 years ago. I started seeing over and over that when our (SaaS) projects didn’t start from what the customer sees, teams usually got distracted with imaginary or hypothetical design issues. It was a lot more effective to iterate from the visible features, and then let that drive much of the backend design, APIs, development timeline, etc.

This meant I needed to deal with more JavaScript than I originally intended with my career, and eyerolls from backend architect types, but projects go much smoother than in my past, that's for sure.

> encode it into law, by violence if necessary

I'm afraid to ask, but what does this mean exactly?

I would note that the Democratic party has consistently neglected to encode abortion rights into law when it had full control of the legislative branches of the federal government at the beginning of the Biden, Obama, and Clinton administrations.
Public transport shouldn't be treated as a simple commodity. Having good public transport increases the land value, decreases maintenance costs for roads, increases revenues for local shops, decreases polution and noise and the follow up health care costs and so on.

So a public transport service can be year after year in the red, while hollistically generating a ton of value for everybody in the city.

In my eyes the ig orance toward rhese other benefits is a shortcoming of the neoliberal ideas that have been popular over the past decades. Sure you can make a public transport company more financially viable by cutting services, but that comes with a hidden cost elsewhere.

The goal should be to have public transport so good, reliable and clean that people won't even feel a need for a business class. Maybe this is my bias as someone who had the pleasure of growing up in the alps with very good public transport systems, but hey, why not.

I would think it has to be an atypical flame to build up molecules vs burn them to co2 and water. Unless there’s polycyclic aromatics being broken up. LP gas has to do some interesting chemistry to make benzene from raw carbon and hydrogen. So perhaps some ionization is needed to catalyze or enable these reactions.

I've been using it with Roku for the last year and it works well for me. It's much quicker than the other apps (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, and god awful Prime). Sounds like there's a specific feature that's missing for you or you dislike? I'm curious what that is.

The founders were wrong about a lot of things, they also failed to account for the fact that political parties were naturally going to emerge.

Constitution as a frame for government worked well if you just want a land owning elite to run things, it works pretty poorly when you want to have a functioning democratic republic.

It doesn't account for political parties, the checks and balances are weak and mainly depend on a gentleman's agreement, and a federal legislature that's biased towards land-based apportionment also functions poorly.

Political polarization in the US is more potent than elsewhere because our voting system ensures that there are only two parties and that purists take over said parties. A parliamentary system that's reflective of the actual popular vote would be much more functional and responsive to what people actually want out of their government.

GOP had a bunch of extremists take over and how they run half of the political system and look to Orban and Fidesz as a model of how to slowly smother democracy in its sleep.

I always find it bizarre how people like this can operate. After almost 20 years of software development, I've considered seeking some kind of an architect role, but I cannot, for the life of me, imagine operating as one without working closely and collaboratively with the development team on a solution, rather than just dictating how things should be done "from on high". But that may just be a personality thing, I don't know.
