That if one is trying to reverse offshoring of manufacturing, one needs to make it in companies' best economic interests.

Make it more profitable (or at least net neutral) to manufacture onshore or nearshore.

A key start to it would probably be to (a) implement a carbon tax on all goods that enter the US via international maritime trade, according to the footprint of their transportation, (b) use the proceeds exclusively to fund a recapitalization of US merchant shipping [0] (new generation lower emission design construction and operation).

Preferably in cooperation with the EU.

Modernizing the provisions of the Jones Act [1] to support US shipbuilding and flagging for inter-national oceanic trade would be a good start.

Merchant shipping, like energy, is a pillar that a country's economy rests on, and shipyards are dual-use heavy economic assets with direct military implications.

> I think most of his videos are very poor,

This sounds quite bitter, as does griping about him mentioning his PhD.

His videos have excellent production quality, and do a great job of communicating advanced STEM concepts to laypeople in an entertaining way.

Maybe you don't like them, but that doesn't mean they are bad. Given their popularity, it would seem they are anything but.
> I don't understand folks who want their tools to fight them.

Been coding professionally for a few decades now and I completely understand and validate this. I also do not understand the drive to want tools that fight them. Our CI is so slow doing IMO unnecessary checks. Code is prettified to look ugly and hard to read because others were too lazy to align text manually and just gave up on nice looking code.

All in the name of “making it easier for the less experienced.” To which I cringe because instead of investing in education and team quality standards we invest in tools to enforce a lowest common denominator in a failed attempt to pretend it increases quality when it just gets in everyones’ way.

I’d rather educate and engender personal quality, aesthetics, and pride in their own work. And if others don’t feel that quality matters then they are not a good fit for my team.
Only a matter of time before this goes the way of the open worm project. Incredible that they’ve increased the number of neurons imageable by this magnitude. A similar increase from here would encompass the human brain. Models of the human brain would likely be indistinguishable in every way, shape, and form from the real thing.
Rolling shutter is quite nice and used in different scenarios to increase framerate.

For example to extract sound from just a camera [1].

Additionally, while not directly related to the rolling shutter effect [2] uses a technique to increase the framerate of the Raspi Camera by 10x or more, but reducing image resolution.

> No one is NATO is a 'protectorate' this is absurd on the face of it.

If you can’t defend yourself and have to rely on a foreign power to do so, you are de facto a protectorate like it or not. That’s the case of at least the Baltic states in Europe and could probably be extended to other former USSR republics in the east.
No. (Thanks Betteridge).
>> Good products hardly ever take out on their own. I'm not sure what computer you're logged on from, but to take that as an example, I'm pretty sure it's made by a company that would likely go under if it chose not to advertise.

As a counterpoint, I chose my last three laptops (Thinkpads, by Lenovo) because I was fed up with the advertisement, in particular grassroots advertisement, by Apple. Lenovo did advertise to people like me, but I was already on the market for a powerful laptop and the last thing I would buy was an Apple laptop, because of all the advertisement as I said. I went with the first thing that was shoved in my face and that looked good enough for my needs.

Honestly I have no idea whose game I'm playing here. When I find the time I'll make a laptop of my own. Only of course it will end up as big as a desktop :)
Google is slowly cripling everything opensource and replacing it with its own closed source stuff. Many, many apps won't run without google blobs on the phone and it's all by design.
Hi jzelinskie, Or from Permit here -
The overall tone of your reply here reads as furious to me ,so I'd like to apologize for offending you, I tried to provide a balanced analysis here- and I think you'd agree it's a tough topic to cover - especially in a brief manner.

I will say, I'm a big fan of your work at Authzed and SpiceDB, and while I think we probably don't see eye to eye on some topics like latency (e.g. I don't think same data-center is comparable to same node; or enough for realtime applications) ; I often recommend people to review and even use SpiceDB, it's my favorite open implementation of Google Zanzibar. I wouldn't call it a strawman at all in the context here - but rather a champion leading the charge.

I do think in the end of the day, there's much to be said about combining policy-as-code at the edge with graph in the cloud - my intention is to bridge the two (with an event-driven channel like https://github.com/permitio/opal)

Again, sorry if I didn't do a good enough job in portraying SpiceDB in the article, and I'd be happy to talk more about the subject.

> Soon afterward, Rush asked OceanGate’s director of finance and administration whether she’d like to take over as chief submersible pilot. “It freaked me out that he would want me to be head pilot, since my background is in accounting,” she told me. She added that several of the engineers were in their late teens and early twenties, and were at one point being paid fifteen dollars an hour. Without Lochridge around, “I could not work for Stockton,” she said. “I did not trust him.” As soon as she was able to line up a new job, she quit.
I explained above what happens when the dimension grows - spheres and cones do indeed take up a smaller and smaller portion of their unit cube, eventually having negligible volume. This is important in the context of high-dimensional statistics and so on.

If you want to actually have infinite-dimensional volumes, you can't just assign finite values to them in a simple way, or you will have contradictions such as a certain volume being completely covered by a union of things which have 0 volume. In infinite dimensions, you instead have various measures like the Gaussian measure. Feynman's path
integrals are a kind of way to assign a value - called amplitude - to an infinite-dimensional manifold (a kind of "volume") of paths. But that takes us well to the side of the idea of the ratio between cube and inscribed figure volumes.
Elonjet was bait by people with an axe to grind and a chip on their shoulder, and if this isn't blindingly obvious, I have a bridge to sell you.

There is no doubt that, after firing Vijaya Gadde (sp?), the corporate focus has shifted away from censoring every single tweet, and more towards letting people say what they want. This does not mean every single tweet is left up, or that annoying Elon isn't a catastrophically stupid thing for journalists to do.

Do you dispute this?

That would likely make researching and demasking the entities involved explicitly legal.
That's exactly what OPA does (Datalog), and what OSO do (Prolog)
No, you claim that I am claiming that.

What I claim is that:
- OPs story that Twitter was a healthy and productive tech company pre-Elon is complete non-sense. How many years did people pine for an edit button?
- Twitter returned to pre-2020 staffing levels, which is true
- Twitter struggled to push out new features (like an edit button) for years, which is true, wheras post-Elon they pushed out edit buttons, longer tweets, subscriptions, etc.
> I don’t think that great work and financial success are necessarily related

This is an important thing to know. An even broader point is that no matter what you do you can't control how the world will receive your work. You may do work that's considered great long after you're dead. You may do work that is tragically overlooked because something bigger happens to be going on right now.

That's why I think the advice to follow your interests is solid. At least that way you'll guarantee doing something interesting even if you can't guarantee doing something great.
I love keeping a personal diary. Typically, I write around 500-1000 words daily, but there are days when I let myself go and write up to 3000 or more. Over the course of a year, this adds up to about +200_000 words. I used to be very disorganized and never found the right tool to do this job. Using .md files are a good solution but I am grateful I found Emacs and org-mode last year, it's amazing. For this purpose and much more.

Keeping a personal diary has proven to be an awesome entertainment. I tend to forget many things over time. Particularly during challenging or memorable experiences, I often forget how I felt and what thoughts occupied my mind. Taking the time to relax and read about interesting weeks from the previous year feels like immersing myself in a novel written by a complete stranger.

If you have an inclination towards writing, I encourage you to give it a try. Personally, I used to dislike writing, but once I started, my perspective changed. If you don't get yourself to like it, then do something else. Some people think the best while walking, others need to talk to a themselves or friend.

I must mention that writing and reading in my native language have significantly improved my speech. I used to struggle with finding the right words during casual conversations and often ended up rambling. Now, uncommon words come to me effortlessly, and now I usually assist others in finding the right words when they're stuck.

I think LLM are great for getting feedback, specially in other languages. You can ask the bot to rewrite one difficult paragraph and study the differences, or check if a native would use the same words you wrote. It's great for learning and experimenting.
In order enumeration of parameters / candidates?

If so, then I'd argue that yes random search is more likely. When we do hyper parameter tuning in ML, random search beats grid search in efficiency. The higher the dimensionality of the problem, the worst grid search is going to be because you will spend a lot of time at the boundaries.

If you are doing Grid Search, then you might as well use a space filling curve, find a promising block, and increase the resolution. This is how GeoHash [1] works more or less.

On the other hand, if a single solution exists, then it is improbable that you will find it via random search.

There are more complex solutions to exact constraint solving, but perhaps they don't scale particularly well.

I worked for a SaaS that ran a hybrid infra, partially on metal. Each rack had N blade enclosures, which together made up a logical isolated unit, with each blade running something. New blades would get provisioned automatically, then Terraform and Puppet handled their configuration.

I don’t remember utilization exactly, but I think most of the blades were reasonably committed. That said, when I left they were moving from a hybrid model to entire cloud, so apparently the cost:flexibility ratio wasn’t to peoples’ liking.
The answer to your question requires a lot of math but in my opinion, thinking about derivatives and integrals in terms of signal responses is not at all intuitive since your have to first interpret the signal in terms of its fourier transform (so a sum of different magnitude and frequency sinusoids) and then you have to think of the operations as phase shifts that are only applied to a certain set of frequencies (cosines and sines are 90 degrees out of phase and are the derivates and ontegrals of eachother). The integrator and differentiator will apply the phase shift to different sets of frequencies. What complicates things are that the magnitudes are also changed based on the frequency of the sinusoid. I think the person you are replying to happened to learn this stuff before actually doing calculus and to him it seemed intuitive. If you would like to learn more, any control systems textbook will be able to do the work a lot more justice than I can.
Your statement is an admission that you prefer to judge messages for their implied moral valence instead of their truth content. Personally I find that pathetic.
Do you think a purely functional language without GC would be much simpler than Rust and Rust's borrow checker? I don't think the mutation part of Rust is what makes it complicated.

I used to write short articles for a PC hardware tech news outlet as a side thing.

It went out of business, mostly through no fault of its own, because proper writing and investigative journalism made no money anymore. Basically the site owner had two choices: "sell out" and focus on producing a flood of SEO garbage, or "honorably" shutter the site. The owner went with the later.

Google basically buried us. PC hardware was on the rise, but most of the audience went to YouTube, and the leftovers were presented with a flood of junk sitting on top of us (and our excellent peers, may they rest in peace) in Google search.

...And this was years ago. The problem has gotten exponentially worse. Honestly, I don't know how modern written news sites with any integrity are even surviving.
It's amusing to me that you're getting crushed on here for blocking/ "defederating" known IPs that you don't want traffic from, but I would bet that these same people would champion your right to do the same if you were blocking a spammy mastadon or lemmy instance that you didn't like!
An interesting experiment would be to make all companies non-profit. Could you imagine that world! I wonder if there would be less spam.
I really don't expect this to be permanent. For this very second though, I do get your point, there are quite a few services I only visit occasionally through links and even after making an account I was a lurker for the longest time on Twitter.

However talking in a way that takes the current critical temporary state as the default forever isn't very fair

Velocity is useful as a team measure, for the team to take on the appropriate amount of work for sprint. It is a measure to assist them predictably delivering work requested by their stakeholders.

Using as a statistic to be improved by an individual? I don't even.
I've seen a lot of things blocked, e.g. sci-hub
The prices I’ve seen over the last year range from –US$0.05 to to US$0.88 per kWh depending on what’s happening with the supply. So there’s really no average, it depends completely on timing. But worst case it’ll be around US$50. That’s about the same price as filling up a petrol car though at current prices.
There were some people who predicted that in the heat of the moment, but the rational people at the time were predicting that Twitter would limp along, gradually start to show cracks, and eventually become a husk of what it was as the systems slowly degraded. I'd say we're well on track for that prediction.

This isn't an unrelated difficulty—this kind of bug is the direct result of losing (or ignoring) the people who knew better. Institutional knowledge is a tech company's lifeblood, and Musk gleefully discarded most of Twitter's when he came in.
Even non-profits provide a 'profit' to employees in the form of a salary. It's not like they all work for free.

This comment highlights another facet of why software is an art less so a repeatable science; ignorance of what has come before and the absence of a widely accepted body of knowledge on how to do the thing. This author seems to legitimately believe they’re on to something when in fact they’re just rehashing ideas from the past.
This is a purely informative comment. I do not mean any harm.

I believe you are getting downvotes because it's difficult to give a direct solution like you did without having more context on the matter.

One feature which I'm missing which is very useful for CMS systems etc is a standard syntax for implementation specific callbacks/macros.

E.g. a macro that returns todays date, todays great offer, etc. Or a "number of days until xxx" for countdowns until some event.

His attribute syntax is very close. A posssible macro syntax use {@ as leading marker, e.g.

{@macroname position=left}

or

There is {@daysuntil date=20230710} days to launch.
Maybe this article is supposed to be satire.
Do you have intuitive understanding of the derivative rules? For example:

d/dx of x^3 = lim h->0 of ((x+h)^3 - x^3)/(h)

= lim h->0 of (x^3 + 3hx^2 + 3xh^2 + h^3 - x^3)/(h)

= lim h->0 of 3x^2 + 3xh + h^2

= 3x^2

So then if we started with (x^3)/3 the 3s would cancel and we’d get x^2. This tells us that the antiderivative of x^2 is (x^3)/3.

Or did you mean some other intuition? Such as why the fundamental theorem of calculus (that integration and differentiation are inverses of one another) is true?
You will notice I did not say Western Germany was great at it. Different.
I think the long and short of it is if you need performance, don’t use an SPA. Anything you do in a JS bundle for an SPA is going to be more expensive than just doing a normal HTML page. And that’s fine! But don’t be confused about what you’re trading off against.
I use velocity to answer a very simple question and believe anything beyond this is wishful thinking. Is the team getting better over time estimating the effort to complete desired work?

The author here is charting velocity over time (down to the indivual developer, which is even worse) as some sort of work output proxy measure. This is a really big mistake. The entire premise for estimating stories in the first place is because we agree time is limited, so scope must be the variable. So you estimate stories, then you fit them into a fixed time period, then you execute and review the period. Did you get done what you planned? Probably not, why? I'll bet something turned out to be more work than you originally thought, or maybe you were blocked by someone else, maybe not even in the same team or even department. How did this period compare to previous periods? Is the planned/actual getting better or worse? Why?

As a manager I hope for steady velocity; it means the team is getting good at predicting the effort for work, probably understands what they're doing and allows you to make some plans for the future. People don't change the way the author's week-to-week velocity chart does, so all that shows is that they're still shitty at estimating stories.

One take-away that should be called out explicitly: velocity is a team-specific metric. Just as you can't divide it onto individuals, you can't compare it across teams either. Whenever you do either of these you're guilty of trying to inappropriately use it as a false proxy for performance. Please don't.
Amazon engineers might be complacent and docile but they’re not incompetent. This could be fixed so easily if management willed it so.
The book "the undercover economist" talks about this alot, but how the USA and the world bank did it. Essentially US contractors go to a developing country and say: you need to build infrastructure for your economy to grow and so take out a huge loan to do that, and paying back will be easy because of all the resulting growth. But there are two catches, the first is that it will be US companies doing the work (or at least controlling the money), and they will vastly over-estimate the growth and hence the required infra-structure (to maximize profits of course). Country agrees, sometimes knowing full well about how its corrupt but they get a slice so who cares, and boom. You get profits for private USA companies and unpayable debts for the country. Bonus is when the debts default the loan-provider can take ownership of whatever was very valuable in the country be it nationalized industries or natural resources.

The fact that China could or would do the exact same thing in Africa is a no-brainer because of course they are.

Some telecoms carriers inject their own Javascript into every HTTP page.

I've seen some of that break my pages for some users. It went unnoticed for months until someone complained that "my" Javascript was badly written and breaking something. After a difficult round of conversations where each of us assumed the other was seeing the same page contents, we compared source and found the culprit was injected by the carrier.

So we changed to HTTPS to fix that problem.

> The trade-off of course is that your data structure design is kinda sticky, insofar as you need to be able to open files for older versions.

The missing piece is a way to evolve those data structures over time, in a similar way to database migrations. Only when loading data from an older version of the app those operations would need to be issued, and then the app could save the updated version in disk immediately to avoid incurring that cost again.

An example implementation of this concept is this project [1] that was created in the context or CRDTs. If it is not directly applicable, at least it should be a good inspiration.
