So, I'd just made that suggestion myself a few moments ago.

That said, there are concerns with data aggregation, as patterns and trends become visible which aren't clear in small-sample or live-stream (that is, available in near-time to its creation) data. And the creators of corpora such as Twitter, Facebook YouTube, TikTok, etc., might well have reason to be concerned.

This isn't idle or uninformed. I've done data analysis in the past on what were for the time considered to be large datasets. I've been analyzing HN front-page activity for the past month or so, which is interesting. I've found it somewhat concerning when looking at individual user data, though, here being the submitter of front-page items. It's possible to look at patterns over time (who does and does not make submissions on specific days of the week?) or across sites (what accounts heavily contribute to specific website submissions?). In the latter case, I'd been told by someone (in the context of discussing my project) of an alt identity they have on HN, and could see that the alternate was also strongly represented among submitters of a specific site.

Yes, the information is public. Yes, anyone with a couple of days to burn downloading the front-page archive could do similar analysis. And yes, there's far more intrusive data analytics being done as we speak at vastly greater scale, precision, and insights. That doesn't make me any more comfortable taking a deep dive into that space.

It's one thing to be in public amongst throngs or a crowd, with incidental encounters leaving little trace. It's another to be followed, tracked, and recorded in minute detail, and more, for that to occur for large populations. Not a hypothetical, mind, but present-day reality.

The fact that incidental conversations and sharings of experiences are now centralised, recorded, analyzed, identified, and shared amongst myriad groups with a wide range of interests is a growing concern. The notion of "publishing" used to involve a very deliberate process of crafting and memoising a message, then distributing it through specific channels. Today, we publish our lives through incidental data smog, utterly without our awareness or involvement for the most part. And often in jurisdictions and societies with few or no protections, or regard for human and civil rights, let alone a strong personal privacy tradition.

As I've said many times in many variants of this discussion, scale matters, and present scale is utterly unprecedented.

I write mostly Python at work. I do some Rust and a smattering of JS for personal stuff. Those are good languages with huge ecosystems and are very practical choices for productive work.

That said, it feels so good to think in Lisp sometimes. It’s just elegant. When I write Python, I see code manipulating data. When I write Lisp, I see data flowing through code.

You are overlooking a critical fact: the US capacity is optimized for US military doctrine and practice i.e. how the US fights wars. For those purposes, they have plenty. The US doesn't have vast numbers of artillery shells, for example, because the US doesn't need them nor would have any use for them if they were produced en masse. It would make no sense for the US to maintain the supply chain for a Soviet style military if the US isn't a Soviet style military. The shortages now are only relative to the military doctrine of other countries, not intrinsic to the US military.
One thing mostly not addressed is just how hard it can be to receive social opprobrium for pushing against things that are obviously broken but act as important foundation for current social reality. Even small amounts of contrarianism can get surprising amounts of not just overt push back, but social undermining over seemingly trivial things.

This creates a different kind of blindness to 'What you Can't Say' and 'Schlep Blindness' but rather a filtering of most smart contrarians into fields where lots of smart people bicker over table scraps of prestige and the few interesting problems that are legible and funded to work on. Work on seemingly low status problems and you won't have to waste your time competing.

In 2015 the Oakland A's signed Billy Butler from Kansas City to a three-year, $30 million contract.

His performance tanked, they couldn't trade him to another team, and in the last year they ended up paying Billy Butler $10 million to not play for them.

It was a big deal because the payroll for the entire team was just $80 million...

I would comment the difference is I have GUIs to set things up, for non-technical users. I did a survey of various projects and found most of them had a configuration step such as "now SSH into the box and input your API key". My mum is never going to do that I'm afraid.

Edit: not to poop on this mode of setting things up, it's good for personal projects but I'm trying to take another step here.
Yes. The other thing these individuals don’t realize is that my idea of success also affects them. If I don’t think buying a big house is my idea of success, and if a lot of us think the same thing, then their big house that they bought is suddenly not worth anything and suddenly they are no longer a success and they have a house that’s underwater.

Yes, everything is interdependent, and the myth of the separate individual is only a capitalist materialistic concept used to pit us against each other.

Clearly orcas have culture that spreads. It’s a bit silly to speculate about patient zero being a matriarch as there’s zero evidence, likewise until a mechanism of communication is known saying it was or was not communicated between pods without evidence isn’t reasonable.
If that sort of system counts as a killer robot, those are pretty standard in NATO already. It's basically the only way any sort of short range air defense can work. One popular example would be the phalanx system.
Not really bespoke.

It's pretty flexible but wouldn't call it bespoke.

Weird edge case? Nonsense, proxy wars are the norm. Just because Stingers aren't a critical part of the US military doesn't mean you throw away the documentation and specification. Any military procurement should include reference material on the entire manufacturing pipeline as part of the deliverables - the manufacturer can keep the rights but military assets are too important to risk permanent loss.

For many decades, a couple could pool typical wages and meet their basic bills. What I'm see now is it takes 4 typical wages to stay housed, up from 3 last year. Based on the last few months, that hasn't leveled out yet.

As long as it’s kept in check I think it’s practically a necessary development stage for many. Everyone needs a starting point from where they evaluate and integrate other values and perspectives. Humility and pragmatism are learned through the process.
Yeah, I agree it all feels very disconnected. I think this problem extends to the communities on federated platforms too. Taking a look at the Reddit like federated alternative (lemmy), there's multiple instances of the same 'subreddit' on different servers. Makes it hard for everyone to gather.

I think federated projects really look at federation as an add on to their platform, not a core feature. E-Mail did this well where everything was automatically federated by default (I.e you can send email from anywhere to anywhere for the most part) whereas some fediverse software, specifically lemmy, require that federation be enabled (and I believe you choose to federate with servers on a per-server basis).

Where I work we're working on a solution to this where your identity remains sovereign between servers [1]. We currently have a Twitter-esque microblogging demo setup [2].

Last three times I've joined a new team (2004, 2015, 2017) I spent my first week trying to fix tiny bugs and generally just reading my way through the codebase till I understood what was going on. I highly recommend it.

I learned to do this when I was working on my master's, and my advisor suggested a project to me, and when I asked him for help figuring out where to start, and he told me to read through the code until I understood it, and come to him if I spent more than an hour or two stuck on things. Thanks, Mikhail - your advice was fantastic.
What point do you think you’re making?
The comment you’re replying to just used this issue as an example from a book to emphasize a point on propaganda framing public discourse, not necessarily arguing that the framing of this particular issue was in any way incorrect.

Sometimes (usually) propaganda is necessary to get the general public to reach the correct conclusions and ask the right questions, so whether the framing of this issue was right or wrong isn’t necessarily being contested as unethical or wrong, merely highlighted as a well known case study of this method of propaganda.
It's irrelevant to calling it a masterstroke market strategy, which is what the sentence you quoted is about.

PSA: This is much longer than pg's other essays. There are multiline gaps between sections that can seem like the end.
Ive been conflicted for 12 years now on what field to pursue. I’m between mechanical engineering because of my interest in materials and aerodynamics (I’d love to do research in this field), and software engineering (I don’t know what I’d do research in, but I like the idea of making tools people use).

I work in IT/light software dev, and I think I’m inclined towards software because that’s where I’ve been building my expertise in, but I’m always thinking of mechanics in my head.

This post made me think that maybe what I should truly follow is mechanics.
What is the problem of “unimaginable scale” you’re referring to?

You can already get a home battery and enough solar to fill it. We’re already doing energy storage. As has happened with cellphones, EVs, solar, and wind, the more we do it, the cheaper it’ll be.

No one’s proposing nuking fossil fuel plants and going “oops better fix that”.
The market already sorted it out. Fat cat greedy news corps bought the politicians to circumvent the market.

Have they, though? Captive orcas aren't opportunistically hunting with their pod, and they're constantly kept fed. Their behaviors are reinforced.

Apart from captivity, human swimmers seldom interact in the wild.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Orcas eat land mammals, and we have plenty of evidence for that.

That wasn't the point. You missed the context or something. Those were just examples of initial thoughts that come up when starting to understand a new codebase.

My point was exactly the opposite and parallel to what you said. But even with experience it takes time to decode those decisions.

The point is that it takes time to understand the whys of code that is counterintuitive at first.

Even if you are a 100% match for the technology.

Autodesk bought Softimage|XSI and then simply killed it after a few years. It's crazy that they can get rid of their competitors this easily.

Yeah, a cornerstone, you would think that, and I was excited when I got the referral, because I thought they'd be able to image all that soft tissue and see exactly what's going on in my shoulder, and I'd get a firm diagnosis and a path forward to healing it.

So in the PCP's office, she gave me a hypothesis of two possible diagnoses and then sent me off to imaging to rule stuff out.

I was already undergoing PT when the MRI happened, and I was disappointed by that aspect of PT. Because I had a mental image that they would receive several MiB of data on a disc, they'd pop it into their office computer, and guide me through a tour of my shoulder, pointing out where the damage was done, how I'd done it, and what we'd do to repair it.

None of that came to pass. I struggled several months with the recalcitrant medical records departments, trying to get the records transferred, and the PT office really didn't seem excited about receiving them. I had to make sure that the raw data was sent and not just a slip of paper with a few sentences by the radiologist. And when I finally confirmed receipt they didn't seem eager to do anything about it.

So yeah, it was definitely a ripoff for me, what can I say? Nobody even pretended to give me my money's worth on that thing. Although in the MRI waiting room, they had a full comprehensive Netflix subscription, and they handed me the remote to watch whatever I wanted, so it seems like medical imaging definitely pays the bills!
No, but this is a very niche thing to know and if I remember correctly gcc has a widely used specific extension for that which would not be accepted in that case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restau...

> Stella May Liebeck was born in Norwich, England, on December 14, 1912. She was 79 at the time of the burn incident. On February 27, 1992, Liebeck ordered a 49-cent cup of coffee from the drive-through window of a McDonald's restaurant at 5001 Gibson Boulevard Southeast in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Liebeck was in the passenger's seat of a 1989 Ford Probe, which did not have cup holders. Her nephew parked so that Liebeck could add cream and sugar to her coffee. She placed the coffee cup between her knees and pulled the far side of the lid toward her to remove it.[10] In the process, she spilled the entire cup of coffee on her lap.[11] Liebeck was wearing cotton sweatpants, which absorbed the coffee and held it against her skin, scalding her thighs, buttocks and groin.[12][13]

> Liebeck went into shock and was taken to an emergency room at a hospital. She suffered third-degree burns on six percent of her skin and lesser burns over sixteen percent.[14][13] She remained in the hospital for eight days while she underwent skin grafting. During this period, Liebeck lost 20 pounds (9.1 kg), nearly 20 percent of her body weight, reducing her to 83 pounds (38 kg). After the hospital stay, Liebeck needed care for three weeks, which was provided by her daughter.[15] Liebeck suffered permanent disfigurement after the incident and was partially disabled for two years.[16][17]

...

> The Liebeck case trial took place from August 8 to 17, 1994, before New Mexico District Court Judge Robert H. Scott.[20] During the case, Liebeck's attorneys discovered that McDonald's required franchisees to hold coffee at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C). Liebeck's attorneys argued that coffee should never be served hotter than 140 °F (60 °C), and that a number of other establishments served coffee at a substantially lower temperature than McDonald's. The attorneys presented evidence that coffee they had tested all over the city was served at a temperature at least 20 °F (11 °C) lower than McDonald's coffee. They also presented the jury with expert testimony that 190 °F (88 °C) coffee may produce third-degree burns (where skin grafting is necessary) in about three seconds and 180 °F (82 °C) coffee may produce such burns in about twelve to fifteen seconds.[12] Lowering the temperature to 160 °F (71 °C) would increase the time for the coffee to produce such a burn to 20 seconds. Liebeck's attorneys argued that these extra seconds could provide adequate time to remove the coffee from exposed skin, thereby preventing many burns.[21]

Of course, why am I bothering? You apparently think that human beings are just objects to be fucked with for your own pleasure, and that telemarketers are akin to literal Nazis who were "just following orders" when committing genocide, thereby justifying any harm you would do to them.

Heh I was just reading "The Innovators" by Walter Issacson and found this interesting conflict between the inventor of the WWW and the inventor of Mosaic:

> There was something about Andreessen's browser (Mosaic), however, that disappointed Berners-Lee. It enabled rich media for publishing eye-catching pages, but that came at the expense of making it easy for making normal users to be able to write as well as read web pages. With Berners-Lee's browser, any user could edit web pages just as easily as reading them, just like using a word processor. But users of Andreessen's browser had to write the HTML code themselves and upload it. Berners-Lee feared that this might limit the ability to express themselves on the web to those who were technically astute.
