I haven't read the whole paper, but isn't one reason MMA wins because it has less restrictions on what moves you can do? Other martial arts have strict rules on what kind of moves you do, so a practitioner of Taekwondo will be at a disadvantage against MMA practitioner, for obvious reasons. This doesn't mean one martial art is necessarily better, they just have different rules. It seems silly to compare them that way.

Imagine a hypothetical new martial arts that allows all the moves of MMA, but with biting and eye poke allowed, so practitioners of this arts is at a definite advantage against MMA. Would you say that this martial art is any better?

Animal ag. is the leading culprit of the mess we're in (together with fossil fuels, ofc). The reason nobody at political level talks about it is because they feel it's a political suicide.

If there was a significant portion of the population with changed habits (and numbers of vegans and vegetarians are rising fast in the last few years, so much that it's affecting sales of meat and dairy already), the abolishing of animal ag subsidies will be much more probable.

Then without subsidies the reduction in consumption is automatic - the price would take care of that. 90% (IIRC) of corporate profits in animal ag comes from subsidies.

Otherwise ... to quote the poet ... "You'll get what you don't want".

The absolute worst case disaster of Chernobyl actually lead to situation that many environmental activist want. A area of nature entirely left alone. With some increase in side effects on animal population, but in general thriving ecosystem.

Doesn't honestly seem too bad scenario. And being cynic, isn't population reduction the most effective way to combat climate change anyway?
I am performing a similar file system tree navigation asynchronously in Node.js which is just a shallow API over the C Linux FS APIs.

I can see you are using opendir and closedir functions? What is the benefit from using the opendir function[1] when readdir[2] can be called on a location directly? Is the benefit that opendir returns a file descriptor for use in opening a stream to gather directory object descriptors?

[1] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/opendir.3.html

[2] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readdir.3.html

Your project is probably more mature but if you want an alternate approach to examine here is I have been doing it: https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems/blob/master...

I considering changing my use of readdir to use the withFileTypes option so that it returns a list of directory entries (objects of artifact name and type) instead of a list of conditions to discern types like I am doing on lines 382-432.

Some info...

All of these problems are due to population collapse, due to incredibly low birthrates.

Canada is choosing another method, with current targets of 500k/year, and talk of even higher numbers:

https://globalnews.ca/news/9836414/canada-immigration-aging-...

With 40M people, that's more than a 1% per year. And note, those are immigrants, not refugees, or other classes of new Canadians.

Just the housing and infrastructure needs alone, and initial support, as well as dealing with validation -> full citizenship is mind bogglng.

But beyond that, I believe it is too fast as a culture shift. I want new blood, new ideas, but I also want the ideals of a hoghly democratic nation, its openness to newcomers, its tolerance to not be lost in a voice of newness.

EG, I want newcomer input, but I don't want it to drown out what's here.

But that's how worrisome the population graph is. There are not enough young people to take care of the old, the old who have worked their entire lives, building what is around us, and paying for tgeir elders to retire, a social contract that is vital.

So we know we are doing a risky thing, as all fast change is risky.

But we must, or... what?

France chose another path. I can't say it is right or wrong.

But ... if nothing is done, it won't be good.

The stupid part is, everyone is dealing with this. China, Russia, the entire West, we all knew. We all knew the numbers, all of us, decades ago.

But we waited. For example, Canada could have ramped up immigration a decade ago, thus softening the social impact.

The simulation part I'd argue isn't as interesting. That other part is though, namely that you, or a computer, can reason symbolically. We can treat the irrational length of the hypotenuse as though it exists in some concrete sense and get sensible and even useful results out of it. The limits of this approach is indeed a question.

>> The richest people and biggest corporations own such an unimaginably large amount of wealth that taxing them would fix just about anything.

> Still peanuts comparing to the "global" economy or a country needs (in terms of pension or health). Also a significant portion of this wealth is paper money that will take a significant hit at sale.

> In 2017, Apple's cash reserves were $250 billion. That's just a single company, hoarding reserves that could clear the national debt of most countries. Think about that for a second.

> Why not then, dip into your bank account? By this logic, there are trillion of $$ in bank accounts all around the world. That's a lot of money.

Well they mentioned Apple's cash reserves that's traditionally easily accessible funds that do not take a significant hit at sale (although the number I read is $55 Billion), but if we talking about Apple's cash and cash equivalents, that was $20,535. That money would fix quite a few economies (and pension funds).

I'm not sure why you bring up peoples bank accounts. They were specifically talking about the worlds richest people and companies, you're average Joe doesn't count. The whole argument is that many economies are in this mess because the super-rich companies and individuals have not been paying their fair share of taxes (as sufficiently document by e.g. the Panama papers etc.).

If you press page down to scroll, at the end of the page you’ll typically scroll by a smaller amount than prior to that, which changes the level at which your eyeline should be after hitting page down to continue reading uninterrupted. In Emacs and Vim hitting page down works nicely, because they just scroll “past end”. Other programs, like web browsers, often stop at the end, causing this issue and making the reader look for the point where they stopped reading for maybe even 30-45 seconds. This seems to be a workaround for that.
Here's some other Brits giving their view of the breathless heat wave news casting, this being the Spiked Online podcast on "The rise of heatwave hysteria". They notice that at least the advisors of the UK government were planning to use the SARS2 pandemic and the accompanying public scare to get people to go along with more stringent climate-related measures "since they have been prepared for stringent measures anyway so we should not waste this opportunity" [1,2,3]. Never let a good crisis go to waste, once again.

Anecdotal evidence from Sweden and Nice/Cannes shows that they are on to something as both the northern (20°C, rain ever other day) as well as southern (around 30°C with a thunderstorm every now and then) summer weather is nothing out of the ordinary.

Speaking of flying, some billionaires have a second jet scouting ahead for air pockets. Remember Macron slyly taking off his watch under the table as he preached austerity? As much as I am frustrated by the apathy and short-sightedness of people, it's hard to blame them when those could so easily go first instead just consolidate and line their pockets where they can, to prepare for a crash they help make unavoidable that way. With private bunkers and going to Mars and freezing themselves and stuff that is so much derpier, less rational, so much more alienated, than some average person thinking they'd like to see the ocean one more time, so fuck it, they'll book a flight.

A support ticket or live chat with a customer is customer data. With things like GDPR you need to know exactly where customer data is stored and for how long. Once you're pasting this in cloud LLMs that data is out of your control and you're breaching GDPR.

The last thing someone expects is that when they're replying to a support ticket is Google or OpenAI being fed that info and it's being put into a training dataset.

We all value our privacy but it seems accepted to breach other people's privacy for the sake of using an LLM to make your job easier.

I think American companies assume that a cellular connection is too expensive.

I had the same thought for Garmin devices, which have to be paired with the app on your phone to get online function (despite some features using wifi)

If you need the phone with a specific app, you might as well use Strava. At least it's compatible with any phone (Garmin devices can only do the bluetooth pairing with specific models)

Why don't these companies just give a sim card port, indeed.
Why not using Kanban?
Nothing. In fact, it's less native (by most definitions, given it's running in a sandboxed environment). That's the whole point of this thread.

What's more native? Running a Python app that uses PyQT, or running a single purpose web browser in a window that calls a sandboxed+bundled Python server and renders HTML widgets?

In addition, OP was talking about locality. In both of the aforementioned examples, they're equally localized (both executing on the machine they're loaded on).
I agree with the thrust of your post, but sometimes people simply can't give advice on certain matters because they don't face the same challenges that you do.

I had a brilliant professor once, aware of the fact that he didn't really actually need to try, he was just incredibly gifted as a mathematician and for him undergrad was a walk in the park. He knew that he could teach us, but dealing with "the struggle" wasn't something he could empathise with.

People often ask me how I had the motivation/discipline or drive to achieve certain long term goals and my honest answer is that they just didn't seem optional to me, like how one might brush their teeth without thinking. I couldn't give actionable advice to someone who, for example, "wants to get in shape" beyond what are essentially tautologies like just eat less and exercise more.

There is no need to exaggerate. "The cloud" (I assume you mean the so-called "public cloud") definitely has its place and use cases.

On the other hand, there are people and companies who fell victim of marketing and groupthink to the point where they flat dismiss any solution that is not based on the public cloud, no matter if it makes sense or not. I guess they should pay the price, that's it.

FF didn't have leverage in 2005 but we're still somehow living in a post-IE world. Leverage and market share aren't a concern, community support is all that's needed. The issue is that Mozilla Corp have been rapidly burning community bridges at pace of late, topped off by the fact that 2005 Mozilla wasn't dependent on Microsoft for their income.
Thanks for this article, I am a beginner in this space.

I think systems suffer from interaction permutations complexity and the approach to look for a fundamental building block fails, because There Is No Primal Particle™. So we try introduce fundamental particle such as "everything is function", "everything is a list", "everything is a type", "everything is a file". It doesn't work. We do it to keep it in our heads but as soon as the design hits a real interaction, we have to get detailed again.

The C++ spec is enormous and very detailed. Kubernetes.

How does multithreading interact with garbage collection? How does async Rust interact with the borrow checker? How does your type system interact with - everything else? How does DNS going down interact with the rest of your cluster? How does autoscaling fail if your Docker repository is down? Can you rebuild a machine if your debian packageserver is down? How does POSIX interact with security?

What's the building block between things itself?

I am currently trying to design tooling around state space exploration and new type generation from interaction combination information by modelling interactions directly. And the fixpoint of interactions between interactions. (I am inspired by the Nothing I understand of TLA)

My dream: I am told by the computer what interactions I need to handle to handle all the cases I throw at the computer.

It's not a new breed of hyper-legal worry. It's basic privacy that we all expect. I don't expect a customer support advisor to be pasting my messages into an LLM without my knowledge. And no sane company would allow employees to do it with any sort of customer data or proprietary information.
