Incidentally, comments like the one in your link are the kind that I imagine will ruffle feathers "on the left", in fact I can imagine many will react with "oMg rAcIsT"[1] where my view is this is a person with a degree of domain expertise that you'll rarely find anywhere else who at the same time by virtue of being very self-consistent throughout time should be believed to be coming from a place of intelectual honesty. Thanks for the link BTW

[1] for example the line "Equally very large numbers are allowed in on the basis of entirely fraudulent applications and forged documents." I can assure you will trigger some "on the left" because omg he's saying that some immigrants shouldn't be allowed in. He himself feel the need to follow up that line with "We liberals are not supposed to admit that side of the equation, but it is true." just so the reader isnt confused on which side he's on.
I suppose if I want to complain about the wiki article being badly written, I should probably think about working on it myself. It's pretty misleading.

As far as these being distantly related species, they are, but they're also as closely related as you can get without being in Acipenser. They're separate families, but those are the only two families within the suborder Acipenseroidei. Super neat fishes. I highly recommend looking up videos of baby paddlefish, as they're adorable. My favorite is when they're just old enough that they start switching to filter feeding. Handling sturgeon just makes you feel like you've got something ancient in your hands, which you kind of do.

What's interesting to me is that the paddlefish shares the Missouri River with both the shovelnose sturgeon and the pallid sturgeon. Also possibly the lake sturgeon if I'm remembering correctly that they sometimes come down the Missouri a bit especially during flood years. Makes me wonder if it's just luck that those sturgeon species aren't tetraploid or if tetraploid individuals are produced and selected against as they hybridize with paddlefish for potentially less well-adapted progeny.

Do employees need a confidence in leadership? Employment, like all trade, is basically an adversarial, zero-sum relationship. I don't need to have a confidence in a counterparty in a trade - on the contrary, I'd prefer them to be a gullible fool.
Ha! "shapes" was a typo there for me. I meant collections or strings. Was trying not to bias it too far to where I was going.

But, yes. There is some ambiguity there. That is still perfectly consistent with my point. To think that you can separate use of language from the intent of the use is a fool's errand. One that we often partake in.

Consider for even more fun, many laws are enforced such that the intent of the law is not the only intent consulted, but the intent of the person that broke it. I don't know why humanity is full of so many smart people that all think they can make intent not necessary. When most places context is removed, the results are often catastrophic.

Constructor theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_theory :

> In constructor theory, a transformation or change is described as a task. A constructor is a physical entity that is able to carry out a given task repeatedly. A task is only possible if a constructor capable of carrying it out exists, otherwise it is impossible. To work with constructor theory, everything is expressed in terms of tasks. The properties of information are then expressed as relationships between possible and impossible tasks. Counterfactuals are thus fundamental statements, and the properties of information may be described by physical laws.[4] If a system has a set of attributes, then the set of permutations of these attributes is seen as a set of tasks. A computation medium is a system whose attributes permute to always produce a possible task. The set of permutations, and hence of tasks, is a computation set . If it is possible to copy the attributes in the computation set, the computation medium is also an information medium.

Is computation medium sufficient to none, some, or all of the sentient computational tasks done by humans?
This is the ultimate form of the "tyranny of rocketry" equation.

Imagine the smallest possible rocket that can take off from Mars with samples aboard. How much does it and it's fuel weigh?

Now imagine how big of a craft you'll need to slow that rocket down from interplanetary speeds and land on a target on Mars. How much does it weigh?

And how much fuel will it need to accelerate to interplanetary speed after lifting off from earth? And how big will the rocket need to be to lift all of that into orbit?

The answer to all of this is making fuel on Mars. SpaceX called this it over a decade ago, and they aren't wrong.

For ten billion dollars, you could just pay SpaceX to send a Starship to Mars and have a human on board grab your samples directly.
Conspiracy boards work great for this, actually. You sort events into pools based on historical weight, and arrange them within the pools based on date and relation to eachother. The big event or concurrent events go in the center pool with all the contributing events in satellite pools around it. The events are ordered within the pools where the closer to the top of the cluster they are the further back they happened, and whether they're on the right or left dictates if they influenced or were influenced by other events in the pool. If you want further sorting, you can use different colours of string to denote specific trends or historical timelines.

It also makes it fun for students to sort through because you can actually see the literal threads connecting things and how small events flowed into bigger events and culminated in massive events.
Has their revenue gone down so much due to streaming that they’ve finally lost the ability to effectively lobby against this?
I think this analysis misses the point.

The point is not about whether a task ends up being less than an hour. That happens all the time, as you say.

The point is that, when beginning the task, it is entirely unknowable whether it's definitely going to fit within an hour or not. Any of the 3 examples you gave — updating a test, fixing some automation, or fixing a bug — are things that can easily blossom into all-day (or all-week) tasks.

And so, with 60 minutes and 3 tasks that might be doable within the time, it becomes that much more difficult to justify investing the time to get into flow exactly because of that unknown ROI. Plus, you need N minutes to get into flow and M minutes on the other side to prep for the meeting, so you only have 60 - N - M minutes to invest anyway.

There's a guarantee of an interruption to flow within the hour, but there's no guarantee the probably-small-but-possibly-enormous task will be done by the time that interruption arrives.

I worked in various offices for decades, but have been remote for eleven years now. I still love it and don't want to go back.

Yes there are some circumstances where being in the flesh is better, particularly in intensive early design and architecture meetings. You can achieve a creative flow that's harder when apart. But that's always been a small part of my job, and the longer march of building the thing benefits from slow, separate thinking and prolonged focus that's harder for me when together with a team. I love to have the flexibility to respond to someone in minutes or hours instead of seconds.

But for me the lifestyle thing is bigger. I love my rural life, nowhere near an office building, let alone my other team members. In particular I'm a dog person, spend all day with my mutt, and couldn't bare to leave her alone all day. I'd rather not have dog than do that to it. What an awful prospect.

Genuine question here; not trying to be snarky.

How is AI "reading" code different from me reading code? Is the difference the AI's ability for perfect memory?

I can read open source code, (even GPL) and not have all future code I independently write be subject to that license. I don't think anyone would argue that I immediately "forget" any OSS code that I read, so it's becoming part of the structure of my brain (and potentially influencing future code I wrote), but unless I'm linking to the code or copying pieces out, verbatim, I'm generally in the clear. Of course there are some sticky situations clean-room, reverse engineering, but those seem like pretty narrow examples.
> Hey, let's just write the same thing 4 times so you know it's a string! Because quotation marks aren't clear enough!

I dont follow. Can you provide an example of what you mean?
This can't be solved by static analysis - anything that crosses i/o boundary has to be asserted, refuted or predicated at runtime and you have libraries for it ie. [0] which doesn't throw (based on refutations which can be mapped to predicates without much cost and assertions) or [1] which throws (based on assertions).

Predicates are the most performant but won't give you any indication on why it failed (ie. some nested field was null but was expected to be number etc).

Refutations is great sweet spot as it's fast while giving information about error.

Assertions are slow, but more often than not you don't care.

You can map between any of them, but it doesn't make much sense for mapping ie. assertion to predicate as you'd be paying cost for nested try/catch while dropping error information.

Refutation is great base for all 3.

You're missing the point of the game.

It isn't simple.
This is the problem with "Tech Lead" positions in many startups, i.e. ones where the team leader (managerial role) is expected to also shoulder many IC responsibilities (maker role). You end up either being a good team leader and a bad IC, a good IC and a bad team leader, or doing something unsustainable like being a good team leader from 9 AM - 5 PM and then filling in IC work until 9 PM.

Please - just don't hire for this position to begin with.
Minor point perhaps, but there's no question about whether the police are violating the rule when they drive their car into the park: they are.

The question is whether it was justifiable and that's not what the original game asks you to evaluate, but it is the much harder question because it is almost always subjective--as you point out. In justifiability you can start asking about intent, weigh the various costs of the action, etc.
> Starting in 1942, 1,700 miles of military roadway were built over the course of 234 days, connecting eastern British Columbia with Fairbanks, Alaska.

Color me dubious on this one. 1700 miles / 234 days = 7.26 miles/day = 0.444 feet/second, every second of every day for about 8 months straight.

Even if you had 10 teams working in parallel the entire time, that’s a lot of road.

The status quo as you describe it has persisted, it seems, for about as long as the role of “software engineer” has existed. I’ve often said that management treats software engineering as an assembly line and software engineers as assembly line workers- for example, most seem to expect us to be typing, and not typing == not working. Working remote helps this, but we only have these companies being full-remote because a global event literally forced them to give it a try. It wasn’t all the studies that proved the fruitful outcome of remote work that had any of them consider or adopt it, it was a pandemic. So of course now the same issue lies with the 4-day workweek. They won’t do it unless they’re somehow forced to, either by law (unlikely) or something that’s even outside of lawmakers’ control (strikes?). Anyway, for this reason, I pose that the 4-day workweek is even less likely to gain mass adoption than remote work. To be brash, today’s American workers are pussies, ever-placated by material things and the conveniences of modern society so as to never be too upset with the “arrangement” with Bossman to do something as bold as strike or attempt to form a union.

So I guess my point is that many seem to focus discussion on remote work, when really we should be aiming higher. Working remote is the shit, doing laundry during the day is nice, but we all know we can’t go yellow on Teams or lose our green bubble on Slack lest there be hell to pay.

These kind of high speed interfaces aren't just something that one just bitbangs on some microcontroller.

Or, for another Tesla comparison, take Citroën (that is, Stellantis): While Tesla keeps on going about how there will be an affordable EV someday, thus they are saving the world now (without anything like this even being in sight), Citroën actually launched the Ami (an electric 2CV equivalent at EUR 6,900.) And they didn't talk about this before the launch, either. (Then there was a short-lived publicity fuzz – and then they mostly forgot about it. That's quite a genuine example for how European enterprises think, showing off appropriately works.)

As the article says, contracting a private company like SpaceX or Lockheed Martin for the lander would likely be much cheaper than letting JPL do it. We already see massive cost differences between public and private institutions in related areas, e.g. for new rockets and space suits.
Agree 100 percent. But also why return the samples at all? Just send automated lab equipment to analyze it.
And yet, if extra terrestrial life sits in one of those, it would trigger a geometric spending frenzy in biology. The key to pulling this trigger is confidence in the samples. Nobody wants to bring back "just dirt".
How about 10 billion to NASA instead of privatizing research with public money.
Originally, yes:

> The Original Series had come from hostility between the US and the USSR during the Cold War, Wright sought an equivalent relevant to the US of the era he was living in, the 1980s. There was meanwhile a palpable feeling that the nation's financial sector was essentially full of greedy barbarians, a notion Wright transplanted into the futuristic science-fiction setting of The Next Generation. (Star Trek: The Next Generation 365, p. 36) Rob Bowman offered, "The Ferengi sprung from the stereotype of agents and lawyers being cutthroat, greedy and wanting only money." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 21, No. 2, p. 35) Wright thus conceived the Ferengi as a species of profit-obsessed, ruthless aliens. He was especially fond of the contrast between them and the crew of the Enterprise-D, who had no desire or need for money. (Star Trek: The Next Generation 365, p. 36)

I've been fully remote for 3 years now and I'd prefer an office if I had the choice. Something like 2-3 days/week in the office feels ideal. Granted the last time I worked in an office I also lived a few miles down the street from it, so my commute was not an issue (it was a great part of my day, in fact). So that probably pollutes my view on all of this.

My team is fully remote, and if I was to be totally honest, we would be more effective if we were all in the same space. Maybe other remote teams are just better at being remote than us, I don't really know.

There have been attempts at hybridization between sturgeon and paddlefish in the past. Paddlefish are the most closely related extant species to the sturgeons, so while it's surprising, it's not exactly mind-blowing. It's not like they hybridized a sturgeon with a carp.

No, it is amazingly unlikely that you'd see an insertion like that arise through some kind of random serial passage.

In nature that happens by recombination which takes many millions of infections to emerge. In the lab you are just replicating that process by serial passage through animals where you might have a dozen animals serially infected. And the chances are probably lower because it is less likely the lab animals would wind up coinfected with another virus that would act as the source material. "Gain of function" research isn't magic.
