Oh, they are, in theory and in practice. Their literal job is embodying law and order and they make up the rules, and everyone else is stuck with what they decree, handing down final decisions like legal Gods.

I do not get how they then turn around and insist on also having uncountable wealth. Surely there are a lot of people who would be content with just having unaccountable power? Maybe they should make minimum wage, while also having final say over what law is.
Sounds like most studies point to a little over 20,000mi break even for cars based on the average US grid energy source mix. In my area it's an even higher mix of renewables than average, so probably 20,000 or less.

My EV is already a bit over 26,000mi, so it's most likely past it's break even and I plan on probably putting another 100,000+ miles on it before I sell it.

Corruption is also common practice within the EU (see: Eva Kaili), most of the upper EU just hides it better while pointing fingers at "unaligned" states, inside and outside of the EU.

And, these non-negative real numbers, which are these homs, are “hom objects”, so regarded as objects in “the category with as objects the non-negative real numbers, and as morphisms, the ‘being greater than or equal to’ “ ? Is that right?

So, I guess, (\R_{>= 0}, >=, +, 0) is like, a monoidal category with + as the monoidal operation?

So like, for x,y,z in the metric space, the

well, from hom(x,y) and hom(y,z)
I guess the idea is
there is a designated composition morphism

from hom(x,y) monoidalProduct hom(y,z) to hom(x,z)

which is specifically,

hom(x,y)+hom(y,z) >= hom(x,z)

(I said designated, but there is only the one, which is just the fact above.)

I.e. d(x,y)+d(y,z) >= d(x,z)

(Note: I didn’t manage to “just guess” this. I’ve seen it before, and was thinking it through as part of remembering how the idea worked. I am commenting this to both check my understanding in case I’m wrong, and to (assuming I’m remembering the idea correctly) provide an elaboration on what you said for anyone who might want more detail.)

You, nradov, are the problem.

Paying people a living wage is not a handout. Raising the minimum wage is not a handout.

These people are working, hard, harder than you do, for way less. These people are being taken advantage of. It's not just fast food workers, it's bank tellers, it's farm workers, it's orderliness and custodians at hospitals, it's the backbone of our society.

What do you get paid to do? I would argue that what you get paid for what you do is more of a handout than raising the minimum wage of a janitor, which isn't a handout at all.
How about something far simpler - reduce to the us government to only enumerated powers. If they want to do something not enumerated pass an amendment.
If you want to "bring back" something that never existed, you have to address what the thing actually was that you want to bring back-- and more importantly emphasize what will actually be different. You cannot merely lie about what that thing was you're bringing back, or handwave that its different now because the year is different. There is ample evidence that government officials will sexually assault people, traffic children, forcibly sterilize women, and starve/torture/kill/enslave men that they are responsible for in current day.

"train a baby Llama 2 model in PyTorch, then inference it"
I think SICP would be just peachy in Elixir, but I’m coming around to the notion that keeping functional programming for functional programmers is a form of professional neglect.

Functional core, imperative wrapper is one of the few sane ways to build a large (Conway’s Law afflicted) system, and too many of my peers never studies SICP in school. They don’t even know the damage they do, and as we’ve learned in many, many other circles, vilifying people does not get them to change. It’s a tool of last resort, and most often used to publicly label someone for ostracism, not help.

So excuse me, but y’all are crazy. We need SICP for JavaScript developers more than we need SICP for every functional language in the world, combined. And JavaScript is only one corner of the programming world.

Write functional code in a language that does not force you to write functional code. Take the training wheels off. Live in the real world.

I don’t understand this position. It feels to me like you’re proposing we financially exploit those who are magnanimous and duty-driven enough to tolerate public service. Do you have the same opinion regarding other organizations operating for public good, rather than financial self interest?

For instance, what you’re saying feels logically equivalent to me to saying we should tax charities more heavily since they aren’t driven by greed, or that we should underpay active duty military personnel since they’re driven more by love for their country than by self interest. It seems to me that it should be the exact opposite, and we should incentivize people to make sacrifices for the greater good.

Underpaying people who choose to enter a certain sector because of a personally held belief that they ought to be financially unmotivated, then ceding massive power to those people and allowing them to take bribes, seems to miss the forest for the trees.

EDIT: I’m also curious how you rectify your position with the empirical evidence that our current system, wherein public service is financially discouraged, has led to direct and indirect bribery and corruption in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It seems to me that the current system isn’t working, and leaning further into the aspect that makes it not work is not a good idea. Maybe a more fruitful route would be reducing the power of individual representatives so that there is less incentive to bribe them, or outright banning the quid-pro-quo agreements that run rampant in our country currently, like prohibiting regulators from working for companies in the industry they regulated after their time in office.

That is exactly what this original article is about.

I think you are missing a lot of the context here.
In most implementations neither Python nor JS (except perhaps partially in Safari) is up to the task of even running the code of SICP properly, due to not having things like TCO.

So the code for versions of the book written using those languages would need to be restructured, losing a big chunk of elegance and possibly destroying the actual lessons about how to express oneself as a computer programmer.

> I can't see how being dependent on the US is such an issue for Japan

It's an issue the same way the US being dependent on Taiwanese Foundries even though they're an ally of our's.

Should some sort of a global commodities crunch occur (eg. hypothetically, China banning all exports of Rare Earth Metals), then prices are going to skyrocket in the global market because it will take 5-7 years for production to scale up in Australia, Bolivia, and the US.

For critical technologies, it's important to have some level of self reliance. This is why the US is now a net energy exporter, after getting burnt by the spike in commodity prices in 2005-2009 leading to a massive bipartisan push for fracking, natural gas, solar, Athabaskan oil sands projects w/ Harper's backing, etc.

Other large countries with limited rare metal supplies like Germany and India have modeled a hydrogen policy similar to Japan for this reason.

Also, Japan's economic recovery after 2008 was heavily at risk due to the spike in Oil prices, as well as a similar near recession that arose in the aftermath of the OPEC Embargo. Memories of both still resonate in Japanese policy circles.

> Nickel-Hydrogen batteries for grid storage; there are nickel deposits in Japan, so if they really are viable, Japan would not be dependent on anyone for grid storage

I'm not a MatSE or Physicist so I can't speak to the viability of that. That said, I can assume that rolling out any sort of mining and refining infrastructure would take time to scale out.

For example, it took China 15-20 years and an extreme amount of Govt protectionism to become a leader in the rare metals space. It's not that China has more deposits than other countries - it's just that it wasn't cost effective for most other countries to match the prices China was providing.
Everyone in this thread appears to prefer Bayesian
That would just end in a situation even worse than now - such a policy requires a government in the continental European parliamentary form to make sure the government always has a parliamentary backing.

How often are you going to non-US-government government sites? Being an American I could imagine you hardly if ever interact with any other government sites so maybe that could be attributed to selection bias.

There are some tools to index the DHT, although it's limited. But that's more of a result of the regulatory environment and that it's hard to have decentralized search that works well.

Depends on the company and product.

Traditional hybrids hide all these details. Most plug in EV’s only show 15-85% as 0-100 because you have a fall back for range extension. Many EV show the close to full range because you might daily drive just fine on 15-85% while charging at home and want to take the occasional long trip or use 0-15% capacity if a charging station is down etc.

Also, charge cycles become less important as range increases an EV with a 220 mile range is noticeably worse at 180 mile range where a 440 mile EV sees 1/2 as many charge cycles and is still perfectly useable with a 360 mile range.
