That does sound more reasonable!

Part of the issue I suspect why reasonable isn’t being considered is that I don’t expect anyone to have a reason to really use them right now regardless - all the nuclear propulsion designs have a high ‘fixed’ weight cost in the reactor, so would only make sense overall in a ‘hundreds of tons to Uranus ASAP’ type situation, where the overall weight for thrust can be lower due to the better fuel efficiency.

So far we thankfully haven’t had a reason to really need to do that right now.

And if we’re doing theoretical designs, why not make it ‘interesting’?

On a side note, if we’re considering crazy ideas - my favorite is the one that makes Project Orion seem clean!

It is a new angle of attack that the authors of the code didn’t know was coming.

I think it is pretty obvious that lots of GPL authors wouldn’t want their code to be productized in ways that don’t contribute back to the community, because they had the ability to use a BSD or MIT license and didn’t take it.
I guess I wasn't entirely clear on this, but I meant that YEC is an example of cargo cult science in the sense described by the GP.

“Complex simplicity” is a good phrase that kind of gets at my theory that friction (simplicity of operation) in publishing is conserved across the stages of setting up, operating, and maintaining the publishing apparatus:

If you make things simpler in one stage, you ultimately do so by making the other stage(s) more complicated.

This is great! Pretty similar to what I did in that you have actual links to the articles and even images. If you had a cron script that auto-generated new content every day, I think that would be the only thing that I'm doing that crackernews doesn't yet.

Another interesting choice is you are generating the article content itself. It is wild how you can get it to generate markup on the fly for different styles of posts.

For my project, I'm generating structured JSON with an [OpenAI Function](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#c...) as I found even if you tell it the format you want in the prompt, it sometimes ignores it or doesn't match exactly. Then I'm uploading the JSON and images to S3.

I didn't realize you could get a DALLE image and drop it in your own directory with a oneliner like you have. Very nice!

> I mean, in many cases the honest party is also the one happy to do things in the open.

This may be true, but there are longstanding figures in open source who I would not trust as far as I could spit.

It's a mistake to see the openness of open source or open access as a guide to trusting the people who produced it. Dual_EC_DRBG is a good example of why.
Binary choices are better than no choices but chasing the 'least bad' option is really a sad state.

Forcing interoperability, applying anti-trust, outlawing agressive adtech etc. are perfectly valid steps and would help create a large amount of competition and choice around technology. In such a scenario there would be also more opportunity for open source business models.

The post is light on details but they do cite one study. Do you have anything other than intuition for your beliefs? I’ve not studied the issue and know nothing about childhood development so my intuition is almost certainly riddled with misconceptions that have been debunked already. Do you have training in this area?
Monads are there in computations that we care about, regardless of the implementing programming languages (e.g., Python, C, Assembly, Turing Machines). Just that Haskell is famous for considering Monads as a first class concept, while many programming languages do not name and reason about them (in Python, C, Assembly, etc.).

This is similar to structured loops and function calls (not GOTO), which are in computations that we care about, regardless of the implementing programming languages. Some languages do not name and reason about them (e.g., Assembly, Turing Machines).

While it is possible to program without raising the level of discourse, this is discouraged (considered harmful), as it lacks safety, hurts productivity (developer velocity/experience), and scales worse.

> > when you start considering effectful computation at a deep level, monads come up pretty quickly

> You say that, but they only seem to come up when dealing with haskell.

"when you start considering structured computation at a deep level, loops and function calls come up pretty quickly"

"You say that, but structured loops only seem to come up when dealing with high level languages."

This situation, where a higher level programming language delivers more power (in this case, scales with better developer velocity/experience) but a lower level programmer resists, has been observed many times. Paul Graham calls this the Blub Paradox [1].

What's so great about Lisp? And if Lisp is so great, why doesn't everyone use it?...

I'll begin with a shockingly controversial statement: programming languages vary in power.

... But when our hypothetical Blub programmer looks in the other direction, up the power continuum, he doesn't realize he's looking up. What he sees are merely weird languages. He probably considers them about equivalent in power to Blub, but with all this other hairy stuff thrown in as well. Blub is good enough for him, because he thinks in Blub.

And using a powerful high level language is "The Secret Weapon" behind the success of Viaweb [1]. Haskell is also a secret weapon for those who know how to use it.

I call BS.

First, Musk is all about the irrational.

Second, being a billionaire doesn't mean you have some super power. It's luck and rich parents (usually). Is it rational for Bezos to build a huge fucking yacht to pull behind his enormous fucking yacht instead of making sure Amazon warehouse workers have the absolute first class working environment? Hint: NO!
Highly doubtful that you will see any in the near future.

Qualcomm's previous custom ARM core team and server team got let go. Most went to Microsoft. Microsoft was trying to copy Apple and integrate hardware and software more tightly together. Microsoft laid off their custom ARM core team about 4 months ago. Most of them have gone to ARM. Anything Microsoft does in the future with ARM would be a licensed design from ARM.

Qualcomm bought Nuvia a couple of years ago. Nuvia was a startup that had a custom ARM core design. Most people think Qualcomm will use the team for either the mobile or server markets again. This article does mention desktop but with ARM's lawsuits against them who knows when or if it would happen.

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/qualcomm-pushes-f...

The other companies like Amazon will want to push you to their Graviton ARM cloud. Ampere wants to get bought. The people there that I know joined because it was a startup. They want to get rich more than they want to push some kind of ARM general purpose computing concept.

I negotiate with them. They are way more difficult and hard nosed to deal with than in the Ballmer era. The salespeople work under a sword and while they aren’t Oracle, they are in that path.

Trust doesn’t mean much with companies of this scale. You need to understand your contracts and the KPIs that drive decisions at the deal desk.

If you are an individual, why are they giving you this bounty? With Google, their motivations are very clear, and they quickly course correct (ie kill the product) when their objectives aren’t met.
I'm nearly desperately hoping you really mean to say, "effort is useless and wasteful if they fail *and then quit out of frustration*" , or something like that (and that would also be horrible advice, just not quite as insane as what you seem to be proposing. even quitting something out of frustration is a learning experience).

Teaching a child that failure is not an option is tantamount to psychological abuse. I shudder to imagine how petrified a child would be to take any steps toward anything at all with a deep fear of failure embedded.

I suppose everything you've ever done, ride a bike never fell (failed), played sports your team never lost (failed), played an instrument never had a bad performance? (failed) Basically any skill or achievement whatsoever requires a very deep and foundational tolerance for repeated, frequent failure in order to achieve. Not sure how that isn't obvious...

The office already doesn't matter when it comes to offshoring. Companies are rarely in the same office already, and are spread across the US. Even if a team is co-located, their stakeholders aren't.

Further, timezone-friendly offshoring is about 70-80% of the cost and comes with larger organizational complexity. Good (not mythical 10x, mind you - I mean good by standard definitions) developers are expensive no matter where they live.
I completely agree, which is part of why I wonder if a reset is needed. The science and engineering produce the money in the economy, and the MBAs that flocked to universities in the last decades have started beancounting to only that stuff.

Humanities, despite my little crack at them, are unquestionably the heart and soul of the institutions/foundations of higher learning of the last 2000+ years.

The fact that the university system is being so thoroughly disrupted over the course of just 20-30 years is really appalling.

Let me double down with something: the heart of the value proposition for college to employers (well, before AI) was the stratification and demonstration of intellectual labor ability. Humanities may not have as many direct employment skills as some of the sciences do, but it still has a lot of value hiring a philo major from Yale versus a Sociology major from Arizona State University.

So the humanities needs to form new associations with the exclusivity, without their tuition revenues being siphoned off to vanity buildings, administrator/MBA salaries, etc.

If you can offer "good college" hiring value / eliteness of degree but at half cost tuition to the students, you would have a HUGE value proposition.

It's always taken a long time to build up the exclusivity. If one could "hack" an institute of higher learning quickly it would be a revolution.

Perhaps some well-connected elite guy with elite schools proposes to some admin doofus at the school a way to attach the institute to them and give them revenue (which is ALL they care about, have any of you seen all the satellite univerisities in Saudi Arabia???), dress it up as a "specialist think tank" or something.

Likely no way to grass roots build the reputation.
I don't believe the unemployment rate is as low as they claim. A low unemployment rate would mean employees would be less picky but they aren't. It is almost impossible to find a job right now.

It is definitely tough to do research. A lot of the jobs posted are fake.
I read it in Butthead's voice. But to be fair, Beavis and Butthead were some of the greatest social commentators of the 90s.
Out-of-state tuition costs for any public university are usually double what it costs for in-state students. It would seem short-sighted to deprive WV high school graduates of a solid public school where they can get in-state tuition rates.
You’re missing the lower success rate of a court case. And the reputational damage to the lawyers involved. As the article mentioned, the debt collectors (by design) don’t have enough information to validate the debt is real when faced with a real challenge and not a default judgment. The article also mentions that the legal penalty of trying to falsely collect debt (which is what it looks like when they don’t have the required paperwork to fight in person) is a lot more than the actual debt. I imagine a growth in legalized debt collectors would be met with better counter-lawyers to force penalties.
Well yeah. That's another way of saying it's hard.

Also everyone has to start somewhere and get their first job, so the idea that you just make sure everyone is really used to remote work seems to be missing some subtlety as a long term plan.

I didn't say I agree with ending remote work, I said it's really easy to understand that there might be quite a few people who sincerely think it's the best way forward.
It certainly seems that way. But why are there so many postings that don’t get filled given that everyone says they are drowning in applicants?

You're absolutely right, one additional point though is that if you're drowsy right now napping is good, but you should also maybe reflect on what's making you drowsy. That carb heavy meal you had? Better scale those down, it's not good for you. The alcohol you had last night that disturbed your sleep (even one beer is enough for that)? Not good for you.

Napping is the right thing to do right now, but there might be overarching changes you should do in your behavior to not be drowsy tomorrow.
Some stuff, like electronics, can be petty decent from unbranded sellers. And some people are broke and need the cheapest clothes money can buy, regardless of the quality.
Data isn't intrinsically valuable, useful data is.

I can't imagine a lot of cases where telemetry would be on sale.

On one hand, telemetry is specific to a specific product. Knowing how often people use the File menu in Visual Studio doesn't help me with my own application that much.

On the other hand, telemetry is potentially a boon to the competition. Can you imagine if say, the LibreOffice project could buy MS Office telemetry to better decide what features to implement, or just to embarrass Microsoft by revealing how much something crashes?

For me, pretty much all telemetry seems to fall into one of those two boxes -- either useless because I'm not working on a clone, or useful and MS would be nuts to sell the info to me because I am working on a clone.

> Why would anybody pay for customer traffic/browsing/shopping data for inside of a Walmart store? Nearly every retailer would pay for access to that, assuming the cost is reasonable. Vendors desperately want access to it.

But Walmart would be crazy to sell it as-is, because why would they help their competition optimize their store layouts/warehousing? At best, I think Walmart might want to sell a derived service, like a slow trickle of recommendations to improve sales. Not the actual underlying data.

Let us assume someone has a choice of job right out of high school or college. The first earns more money initially but college wins out. Also, the high school grad has a much higher unemployment rate, which somewhat negates this head start.
> a line in a csv about a debt that is easily challenged and hard to document when challenged

From the perspective of someone who's dealt with finance and exports most of their life, CSV files of this nature are more of a gentleman's agreement between engineers (who all died years ago) than a statement of fact. I don't know how you'd convince a judge that your csv file is error-free when the transaction process itself is full of clawbacks due to all the buggy data and creaky code.
> Our bodies are pretty good at telling us what it needs. Drink when you're thirsty and nap when you're drowsy.

On average, maybe. While the science of how to reproducibly measure the variations is still fairly young, there's evidence that the accuracy/responsiveness of the underlying signals, the baseline intensity of the sensations, and the ability to integrate those sensations into an actionable concept like "thirsty" or "drowsy" all exist on a spectrum [1].

Sometimes you have to chose which bridge to burn.

Hopefully not, hopefully you're leaving for greener pastures, or because of something systemic that you can critique on exit without throwing anyone under the bus.

But sometimes not. Sometimes you have a responsibility to your peers to honestly describe the problem that prompted you to leave, even if it means burning a bridge.

The alternative is to squander the organizational growth opportunity that your resignation represents, and subsequently burn all bridges except the one with the problematic person.
I guess the one condition is that they ate the individual that they are, and not some other individual. So it matters that they are that specific individual (e.g. your child).

I find the concept problematic as well. In practice there can certainly be limits.
The currency of elites is deference. One of the reasons why Musk can get away with so much is that other powerful people don't want to check him because they're afraid that other people will check them. By showing deference you preserve deference for yourself.

When other important people line up with Musk it is not because they are sipping whisky together, instead they are lining up like iron filings in the field of a magnet.

I'm an engineer. If I'm designing "X", I'm much more satisfied if I can find a way to do it in a day modifying "Y" than if I spent two weeks building up "X" from scratch.

Hard work also depends on the context and again we're talking about school where students have limited choices over what they're working on. I hated writing. I still hate writing. Spending long hours writing an essay on Camus didn't make me feel satisfied, it made me feel drained. Even if I'd gotten an A ( I can't remember, I might have if only because no one else was dumb enough to take on French extisentialism ) it wasn't satisfying because I didn't care if I was a good writer or not.

The NHS may save that much money, but the US government currently estimate the life of the average person to be worth $10 million (btw this figure was created in the ‘80s so keep inflation in mind). So how much is the UK losing here? It’s a net negative to let people die.
Don't be ridiculous. Voicing his disillusionment in a funny witty way is orders of magnitude less effort than writing an entire browser.

I find that hard to believe (I am pacific islander, often mistaken for Asian, I encountered zero extra racism over the pandemic). Even if it were unambiguously from the wet market, I would expect the tiny amount of extra violence to have happened. Moreover, a big chunk of the "anti-asian hate" hysteria is actively funded by CCP. I'm also not personally convinced that declaring that "anti-asian hate" weirdly normalizes it and gets people who wouldn't be participating in that kind of activity to think "oh hey yeah that's a good idea".

Did you reach out to any tech press figures or publicize this in any way? It would have been a fairly important story and should have been pretty easy for somebody else to reproduce by generating the same completions and comparing them to your commit history.
