Part of this, I think, is also the shift to dialogue-based scripts. It reminds me of this excellent Every Frame a Painting video that compares Kurosawa’s effective use of movement with the barely-moving, dialogue-driven Avengers films. A huge percentage of films/shows today are what Hitchcock called, “photographs of people talking” and aren’t actually cinematic. If they were more cinematic, hearing every line of dialogue wouldn’t be as important to understanding the story.

You're accepting that lobbying is widespread, but keep asking for evidence of wide-scale bribes, I'm not sure to follow your logic. That's kind of arguing that politicians aren't corrupted, they just get personally rewarded for acting in favor of specific entities.
Inverting Gauss’ Formula
Maybe he’s deliberately learning/teaching how to change things arbitrarily. He senses the organization would have a lot of trouble making a button red or changing a vendor, he demands it, just to shake all the rust off.

Later when he’s got control, he can supposedly add every feature back. Maybe he’s visualizing his boondoggle as still worth $44 billion any time he chooses to restore the way it was.
Worth noting that a Tesla has contactors, but they remain closed all the time for owners who use 'sentry mode' or any of the other features that require the car computer be kept awake.

As someone that grew up on C, I always found Pascal positively brutalist with its BEGIN and END blocks, instead of using the more nimble braces.

Considering how loosely people (especially kids) these days spend money, maybe this is good enough? How many people who understand how to do these hacks and would be willing to pay for Nitro are there? I am sure there are thousands of not tens of thousands of users for all these different Discord client mods that enable all or some of the Nitro features, but would there be any actual revenue from fixing this?

In my opinion paying the $10/mo (if I needed/wanted the features) is way less hassle than trying to keep on top of the mods, which probably break at every Discord update, and then hope the maintainers don't slip in exploits.

Don’t you think if it were possible for governments to gain multiples more tax revenue, they would do it already?

Taxes are competitive. If you have extremely high taxes, then the businesses that can move out will move out, leaving a smaller tax base and requiring you to raise taxes even more in a death spiral.

> These extra structures are superfluous if you think about it

If they were completely superfluous they wouldn't arise in the first place. You could argue they aren't worth it, but that's a separate argument.

I'm Polish, my language has 3-5 genders (gender is a misnomer BTW, should be called "noun kinds" or "categories"), and while the complexity is hard on non-native speakers, it also allows for using lots of pronouns in shortened sentences without losing precision.

If you say "book is on the table, burn it" - the "it" can mean "book" or "table". In Polish you say "book is on the table, burn her" if you want to burn the book and "book is on the table, burn him" if you want to burn the table, because book and table are different genders. You can see how useful it is by the fact English sailors often call ships "her". Not many other "hers" on the sea in the age of sail.

I also think it's not an accident proto-indo-european (the language of people whose main thing was domesticating animals) had grammatical genders. It's nice to have that feature when you're mostly talking about cows and horses.

Then there are other features, like regular multi-degree diminutives you can form from any noun. You ever wanted to say somebody invented "cute little abstracion" - in Polish you can create a diminutive from the noun "abstraction" if you ever need it. "Abstrakcyjka" or "abstrakcjunia" if you're curious. Same with any other noun, no matter if it makes sense or not. In English you have a word for "cute little dog" ("doggy") but not for "cute little dinosaur" or "cute little blue color", "cute little love" or "cute little death". In Polish "dinozaurek", "niebieski kolorek", "miłostka", "śmiertka". I like this feature very much, because it's pretty regular, not much overhead to learn, but it adds a lot of color and expresivity to the language. There's whole slangs where people speak only in diminutives (for example truck drivers for some reason :) ).

Grammatical features like these are the best, because they are multiplicative - you have N nouns in your language, with small constant overhead you create 2xN new potential words.

On the other hand there are features that provide very little to no value - usually historical baggage. Like the non-phonetic spelling in many languages. English is by far the worst here, but in Polish there's a few problems to fix as well.
I don't think of impermanence as a tool for development setups, but rather a tool to improve production security. When a server gets compromised, it's common for an attacker to leverage their initial access to set up backdoor access for themselves, e.g. an additional privileged user or privileged service which phones home, so that they're no longer reliant on the original vulnerability to gain access again. This is important to ensure that they can launch a more damaging attack at a more opportune time (e.g. at the beginning of a long weekend). Now consider a stateful server which you need to host (e.g. Kubernetes control plane / etcd) where you ordinarily cannot practice immutable infrastructure due to the stateful nature of the server. Modules like impermanence allow you to guard against this kind of compromise by simply wiping out everything but the actual state as a result of rebooting. Any privileged users or malicious processes (which, of course, are not part of the system configuration used at boot) get wiped out at every reboot. It's not a silver bullet - an attacker could simply releverage the original vulnerability and set up access again - but doing the reboots frequently would force the vulnerability to be re-exploited each time, making it a pattern of access more likely to be detected in a SIEM.
>> Pixel phones (and all other phones running Tiramisu+) can attest to the full DICE chain's integrity to any app that requests it. This can be done through the KeyStore API.

I do not see this - the KeyStore API available to apps still only returns an attestation as a normal X509 chain anchored into a local key, which is certified by Google. That is not DICE. Actually, there is no mention of DICE at all in any recent Android API docs.

Or it this documented somewhere else?

There’s an even better setup than Erase your Darlings. Instead of putting / on a zfs pool and erasing and rewriting it every reboot, just put tmpfs on / instead.

With / all in memory it automatically gets wiped and recreated every reboot, without needing to actively erase a disk, and thus with much less drive wear (depending on how frequently you reboot). It’s also faster on some things when loading from RAM instead of the disk. And it’s overall a cleaner, simpler setup.

https://elis.nu/blog/2020/05/nixos-tmpfs-as-root/

You can also put tmpfs on home as well, using Impermanence and Home Manager to persist things like ~/.config and whatever other files or folders need to persist between reboots:

https://elis.nu/blog/2020/06/nixos-tmpfs-as-home/

tmpfs on / is enabled by NixOS’s unique design, in which it keeps the entire system in /nix/store and then softlinks all the paths into their appropriate place in /. With tmpfs on /, NixOS automatically recreates those softlinks in tmpfs on reboot. Very little setup effort is required to make this work.

Unix was a couple of guys in an attic. Hack was one guy. Unix was collaborative, personally collaborative between some extraordinary intelligent people. If you read Kernighan's memoir, it talks about the second version problem. Unix solved a problem. GNU solved a problem. Linux solved a problem, and WSL2 solved a problem. Using a hammer to rid your house of ants is a solution, that does not fit the problem. I do not consider a hammer harmful in itself, if its used to drive nails. Everything needs a tersely named tool is outdated, useful for trouble shooting but outdated UX/UI. We need to continue with our tools, and develop them further, but not with extraneous bells and whistles. ( This bit of wisdom came from a 5th grader, who now has a degree in Political Economics, and I do not understand a single thing he says. ) Read Kernighan's memoir.
We have all seen communism fail, but I still have to see the free market even be allowed to exist at large scale.

In the small scale, it has been working beautifully and as intended since its inception.

My corner shop lives in pure, unadultered competition with all other shops in the corner, and the governments favour neither one nor the other. They are not at risk at growing like a cancer and swallowing the entire neighbourhood. As long as they provide good products at reasonable prices, they are allowed to exist. The day they get greedy, people stop giving them money, they go bankrupt and someone else eats their lunch.

The free market creates an equal and opposing force to the human natural drive towards selfishness and greed. But if you put your hands on the mechanism, you risk tipping the scale in favour of one over the other. Blame the hand on the scale, not the market.

Ah yes, some of the least effective propagandists (seriously, they fought coal for generations and the thing that actually broke its stranglehold was...fracking) were the reason, not the now well documented corporate giants injecting FUD about climate change into all media for decades.

> Nobody proposing solar, wind and storage ever wants to back it up with hard numbers.

For hard numbers, see real-world case studies like Denmark:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Denmark

They get 50% of their electricity from just wind. So that's the lower bound on what you can achieve in the real world today. Here's how you increase that without needing any storage technology:

(1) Be a very large land mass like the United States, where wind variability is more likely to cancel out.

(2) Add solar instead of only relying on wind. Solar cancels out wind variability because it's more windy when it isn't sunny.

(3) Overbuild by 2-3x, so that the troughs in energy aren't so bad. Even if you overbuild by this much, it's still a lot cheaper and faster to build out than nuclear.

(4) Import solar/wind from neighboring countries, losing only 10-15% due to resistivity.

I don't know exactly what % renewables you can achieve by picking all this low hanging fruit while still being cheaper than Nuclear. 80%? 99%? If you add solar and you overbuild and you have access to a large landmass like the US, you can probably get very, very high, with the last few % being powered by natural gas peaker plants as a temporary stop-gap until storage technology becomes good enough.

As a bonus, if you overbuild, you can sell surplus energy to Mexico and make money!
Not oc, but I share some of this sentiment. Modern advertising is heavily based on behavioral science, psychological and especially emotional manipulation. This is on top of extreme methods to hijack your attention at all cost. It might sound like hyperbole but if you read marketing case studies you realize this isn't only the norm, it's something they take pride in, especially when it appears to work (which it does).

In my view, blocking this isn't just morally just, it's absolutely necessary. I deliberately choose not to partake in this and not be a target for manipulation to the best of my ability.

Maybe there was a time when advertising was more about creating awareness instead of feeling and making you want the product, but advertising changed dramatically over the 20th century. There's quite a lot of reading material out there if you're interested.

Also, English has very complex “implicit” rules about word order, as it relies on that much more than languages with more complex grammars, e.g. German. If you do encode more information into a given word by a suffix, you can more freely reorder them.
If you look at large nations that have actually decarbed their grid, they do it with hydro first and nuclear second.

Show me even a medium sized nation that is predominantly powered by solar/wind and isn't utterly reliant on imports.

Nuclear is absolutely economically viable so long as you build one design several times and don't let regulators insist on crazy handycaps. That's how France, Sweden, Korea, China, and Japan successfully built out. Japan's median built time was 3.8 years during its build out. China builds plants today with $3000/kw capital costs which is as cheap as coal.

Nuclear technology is a proven solution despite all the mental gymnastics people do to insist otherwise.

you're talking about three different things: NixOS, Home Manager, and Impermanence. or put another way: reproducible root filesystem, reproducible home folder, automatically reproducing things on boot.

if you want a reproducible root filesystem, use NixOS. if you want to reproduce your root filesystem on boot, use NixOS with impermanence.

if you want a reproducible home folder, use home manager. if you want to reproduce your home folder on boot, use home manager with impermanence.

I only use impermanence on servers. I don't think there's any point using it on a desktop, or with Home Manager, other than street cred. it just complicates things. I don't really even recommend Home Manager for first time NixOS users for the same reason.

edit: and I want to address this comment:

> I'm not sure I'd want to always download some programs that are quite huge

this isn't how it works; the binaries, as well as the entire initial state of the filesystem, are cached in the Nix cache, a read-only filesystem. you're not downloading everything on every boot.

Back a few years ago I was working for a telco. There was a huge expectation that 5G would enable bringing workloads closer to the "edge", so deploying on-prem servers and avoiding the round trip to a centralized location. However, as far as I know this hasn't happened much due to the massive amount of rearchitecting companies would have to do. Very few applications actually benefit from such a low latency. I'm not sure Telcos even made it happen on their end, I left the industry before the full rollout.

Can you explain what you mean by producers?

A covariant functor takes morphisms from object A to object B in some category to morphisms from A to B in some other category. I don’t know what such a functor would produce except some other morphism (or function as would be the common case for programming).

Also, I think, based on the general impression of snark GP’s comment seemed to contain, I am not unwarranted in reading his use of the term continuation in a literal sense and not to stretch it to say he was describing some (particularly odd) general idea of composition or application of functions.

On average the US has commissioned more than one nuclear powered naval submarine or aircraft carrier every year. There’s no fundamental reason we can’t also cost-effectively build on land.

Brian Potter’s “Construction Physics” substack has a series of articles about the cost issues with nuclear power:

https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power...

https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power...

https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-nuclear-power...

All in all, the issues with nuclear construction are largely down to regulation, and can be overcome through massive economies of scale. Building 1000 nuclear power plants within the next ten years is achievable if the United States, to use your words, “[marshalls] our resources as if we were at war”. The primary reason this hasn’t happened already are (a) activists like you spent the last half century trying to prevent it, eroding the practical expertise necessary and (b) natural gas is still probably more cost effective.
It is preferable to generalizations or pretending you are speaking for other people.

Humans need to have a persistent world view. Without persistent world view I could not even use a spoon -- I would be constantly surprised by what is this thing in my hand, and what I am supposed to do with it.

My current understanding is that purpose of the ego is to maintain the world view. In other words, it provides resistane to change to the current world view.

It is supposed to work like soil works for seed -- provides some initial resistance to facilitate growth and make it possible for the plant to survie after it breaks through the surface.

Therefore, ego is absolutely necessary part of humans. Killing it is not possible and even trying to kill it is not a useful aim. (I know, I have tried.)

That said, there may be many problems related to oversized egos and learning to work with your ego is worthwhile.

You are generally right, though the example may not be the best.

> In English, you can say "I'm going to Budapest tonight" or "Tonight, I'm going to Budapest" and it means almost the exact same thing

The second English form I feel does have more emphasis on the ‘tonight’ part - in fact elevating a part before the sentence is the way to do so in English - and thus roughly translates to “ma megyek Budapestre”. In Hungarian, the part right before the main verb is the most emphasized (though in speech, how we stress each word also matters), so in this particular regard Hungarian is more flexible in encoding emphasis then English.

Subsidizing weapons would be incidental - no need for 150 reactors. US/USSR had <20 production reactors to make pu239 for 1000s of nuclear weapons. IIRC think current US projections of PRC nuclear proliferation is 1000-1500 weapons by 2030s, based on production from a few plants dedicated to nuclear production (404 and 821). If PRC wanted 1000s of nukes, it would be much more economical to build a few dedicated weapons-grade plutonium reactors, which won't be subject to civil regulatory concerns, i.e. multi year pause due to Fukushima. Parsimonious incentive for building 150 civilian reactors is because it's economically feasible there.
