It is more true about the Internet. More and more web pages use more bloated libraries, and more complex solutions.
There is more data, more communication, more patterns, more services, more styles.

If you want a blog there is no need for fancy libraries with a fancy frameworks, probably.

I think this could be passed to the whole software / hardware situation.

Do you need a fancy desktop? Does not Gnome look better than XFCE? But you want a shiny desktop with nice animations, nice icons.

It is also required by the producent for the product to be more complicated and fragile. Now you cannot have offline software. There needs to be telemetry. Therefore there need to be internet logins. Therefore hackers are a higher threat. Why does my calculator on Xiaomi phone need permissions for gathering private data? I know maybe to select some units, but comes on!

Even worse, on the Apple Watch you cannot input text at all in one of these languages, as you cannot (!) turn autocorrect off on the watch.

They managed to fit a full QWERTY keyboard on the screen yet made it completely useless.
You have to know if you have afib though, which can be tough to detect for people with infrequent and self limiting cases.

Example; I get bigeminy PACs, which apple watch flags as possible afib when there is noise that obscures the p-wave. But my cardiologist has seen the pattern on a more sensitive device and says it’s not afib.
Increasing seasonal ocean temperatures and low-salt marine environments like estuaries favor a greater concentration of Vibrio within filter-feeding shellfish; V. vulnificus infections in the Eastern United States have increased eightfold from 1988–2018.

So this (likely) is another consequence of climate change.

Having some static constraints around <expr> makes it a lot easier to analyze though. Both for humans and compilers.

Otherwise you end up with situations like C++ templates, that can expand to anything. With long confusing errors, unable to distinguish if it’s an error in the usage, the definition or the call-site.

> "renting" only causes more surplus to be captured by the publisher, and not by the consumer

This assertion is demonstrably false. If this were the case, it would beg the question as to why many consumers and businesses willingly opt for rental models. Cloud hosting and music streaming are prime examples of the popularity of such models.

You have a personal preference for ownership, but if we look at consumer trends in the past decade, I doubt your preference will be shared by a majority of consumers. My bet is the majority of consumers are likely to prefer the flexible, less costly options, rather than ownership (assuming the technology is competitive).
Quorn has for the most part been making meat substitutes out of vat-grown mycelium and eggs

I love mushrooms, and am mostly vegan, but the skeptic in me suspects it's not as economically viable (with their current processes) to make meat-like products out of just their "mycoprotein" or they'd be doing more of it.

I realize they have released a few vegan products, but I've never seen them in stores and can't see why they wouldn't be as widely available as their other products if there weren't some texture/flavor issues without the eggs.
Documentation may be feared since it could be used to attack the Xbox or surface devices' security. Plus their documentation mode has been moving to "make the customer do it" with their GitHub docs - at a conference they were giving away swag to people who would write articles for them.

You should add conglomerates. In Austria, the grocery market is effectively dominated by 3 companies. They rarely compete directly, i.e., by having stores next to each other.
I think user-perceptible performance degradation might set a lower practical ceiling than purely technical limitations would. I've seen as many as ~200 SANs on a single cert -- but I'm not claiming any special expertise or insights.
The JVM automagically swaps out blocking network calls executing in a virtual thread to a non-blocking implementation, so potentially many other requests can be served in the same time.

So you get the benefit of async frameworks, with none of the negatives: the blocking model is trivial to reason about, read, maintain, and works perfectly with tooling (you won’t get an exception in some WhateveScheduler, but at the exact line where it actually happened. Also, can step through with a debugger).

In 1971 Nixon effectively moved the economy off Bretton woods to fiat. The monetary system became entirely ephemeral, enabling all kinds of mathematical techniques for deflating the average persons buying power:

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

Couple that with an explosion in TV ownership, behavioral economics taking over advertising and marketing... America became a propaganda bubble.

A $200k/year salary in 1980 dollars would be equivalent to $600k/year buying power in 2023. Instead the Fed is raising rates to unemploy people, so they cannot buy assets, or even just a home.
Java compiles very fast especially with a running gradle daemon, definitely on comparable levels. It also supports hot reloads to a degree.

It's not productivity root cause, it is consumption crisis root cause. We stop buying buying more and more. Once you have one car, you don't buy hundred cars.
Wikipedia somehow handles this okay. But yes, there will be work to do to address the issue.
I don't know, seems somewhat convincing on the surface but goes to mix some interesting ideas and facts with appeal to authority via quotes and a many unsubstantiated statements led by those ideas/aforementioned facts.

The one thing I always come back to is that nobody really seems to go into the definition of productivity - it's roughly hours worked to produce something, but the details are always sort of scarce, even from the FED.

I don't know, 1970 is also about where population growth started slowing.

Kinda but also true that most long pieces have one or two movements that are the popular ones and you have to wait till you get to it. e.g. Ode to Joy is 45+ minutes into the Ninth symphony, Mozart's Rondo alla Turca is the third movement of the K 331 sonata, etc.

Though I feel very bad writing ^^^. The rest of those pieces are very worth listening to. I listen more often to the first movement of the Ninth.
You are right, people do not see the truth because they like fairytales.

This is so dangerous to view reality through this prism... Fairytales.
Being wrong didn't give you the knowledge that your solution was correct.

Success/victory/accomplishment did.

It's not naive, it's a low level point.

Wrong is often directionless, and pivots and re-maps out a new solution when arbitrary failure arrives.

Right has cropped out the useless pathways, and is stuck between security and looking into the future. The direction of work is non-negotiable.

Wrong is often structured like a flat unlayered map where you fill it out with successes and failures.

Right, often has subjective approval of a layered interpretation, eliminating the need for trial and error.

The thing is, when things go right, it's rapid and easy and it's just business as usual. No one notices.

People crave wrong.
The thing that’s bugging me about this eco system is the library, although it augments, has to become the thing running the LLM, I can’t use guidance as a plug-in on some other LLM system.

I look forward to when we have something that can run any LLM without compatibility issues, can expose APIs etc and has a robust plugin or augmentation system.

Most product taxonomies will categorize them separately. Here's two examples trying to categorize tilapia.

Google Product Taxonomy:

Food, Beverages, & Tobacco > Food Items > Meat, Seafood & Eggs

Note the distinction between meat and seafood.

GPC:

Food/Beverage/Tobacco > Fish - Prepared/Processed (Frozen) > Attribute: Type of Fish = Tilapia

Whereas meat in the GPC is defined separately:

Food/Beverage/Tobacco > Meat/Poultry/Other animals - Prepared/processed> ...

Your local grocery store probably is organized the same way. Many people think of fish flesh and meat as being different things. Words are made up and all categories are artificial, whatcha gunnuh do.

Wouldn't it be nice if LetsEncrypt could issue you a (1) name constrained, (2) 90-day limited intermediate CA with just the (3) DNS-01 challenge? I argue that such an intermediate CA would have no more authority than a wildcard cert which you can get today, so they should be able to issue it. [1] Everything supports name constraints now, which used to be an issue but isn't anymore. [2]

Then stick it in step-ca and issue all your certificates with internal ACME.

This would solve a lot of problems, such as leaking private hostnames in the certificate transparency log, or hitting issuance rate limits on LE servers.

South African English uses bush in this sense as well. I anssume it’s via the Afrikaans “bosveld”. In fact English speakers will often retain the “veld”, using the term bushveld. (Nobody says bushfield).

It has a specific meaning [0], but is also used generally to mean the wilderness.

I’m not sure if it has a meaning in Dutch other than as “forest field”.

These Greek peaches are indeed bigger, as in, apple-big, but not sure that that “quality” can justify the price difference (they’re twice as expensive in Greece). And the smaller peaches taste better anyway, like it’s usually the case with fruits and “bigness”.
For anyone even remotely interested in learning how research happens and how research should happen if it happens well, you should listen to the Peter Attia podcast with Richard Miller who runs the ITP program mentioned here. It’s definitely the most thoughtful research program that I can think of that’s currently running. https://peterattiamd.com/richardmiller/

Having said that Acarbose was still only shown to extend life in mice. The moment something is about gut microbiome I start losing confidence in the ability of mouse models in predicting human behavior.

When I originally heard about Acarbose in this episode I looked up Reddit as I usually do and the scant mentions all recalled smelly flatulence as a gross side effect. Take that for what you want! Not to mention it worked only in male mice and we have no idea how! This is not confidence inducing especially if you’re committing to becoming horrendously smelly!

I think if your tools are causing an inferior outcome, you are likely already working at a higher level of craft expectation and wouldn't be buying cheap tools in the first place. If your tools are for a basic handyman toolbox you're likely to never need very high quality and expensive tools are a straight up waste of money.
Selective quoting to misconstrue what I'm arguing won't win you any favors. I'm suggesting that in this particular case (you carefully avoided quoting the "this" that I used) the surplus is being captured by the producer.

Anyways, not interested in discussing further with someone who quotes selectively to argue with a strawman. See ya.
> inspiration increases intrathoracic pressure which triggers the CV control mechanism to think BP is higher via the baroreflex and therefore lower HR

"The increase in HR during inspiration is referred to as respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and the increase in BP as Traube–Hering waves."
What will happen if a hardware store starts selling bread? Austrian grocery cartel thugs will show up and break his legs? Please explain in detail why you believe that coffee shops cannot sell bread without a multi-year planning and approval process.

It's bs that anyone not in the supposed cartel can suddenly make huge profits on food by undercutting. Gross margins on food are almost certainly very low. THERE IS NO CARTEL. There is no room to undercut. There is no evidence of illegal price fixing other than price go up. The only cartel is the Austrian government which is the cause of the price increases--not via lack of enforcement of laws but from carrying out their policies as written. This is inconvenient to the socialist talking point about corporations fixing the price of bread with impunity.
It definitely is the idiomatic way. How would you do it otherwise? Recursion?
To me, "WTF happened in 1971" has always been transparently obvious -- we moved off the gold standard.

I'm not a goldbug, I don't think we can put that genie back in the bottle. But with the ability to just create money out of nothing for free, without having to answer to some notion of conservation-of-whatever, is what re-appropriated a lot of human effort toward non-productive ends. That plus the rise of a debt-based society (driven by the banks' addiction to creating money, I mean, issuing loans) prepared the cultural and economic powerhouse that was the US and its effective vassal states in the West to move from primarily production to primarily consumption. In truth, the cultural shift began in the postwar boom and the advertisement and uptake of the proverbial "white-picket fence" lifestyle but was fully unleashed in the 70s.

I would pick Ruby on Rails as main framework. It can go a long away, has sane defaults when talking about security and can move fast with building features.

For CRUD is the perfect fit (for me).

For background processing job I would pick Sidekiq or GoodJob

And would add to it a library like Avo - a good admin that will remove for me the need to create my own backoffice dashboard.

If I would have more time to put aside for learning something new I would try Hanami 2: it is Ruby but it comes with a different code architecture for a web app.
> I have seen the same problem solved in different languages take 2-3x the amount of work and have a large difference in ongoing maintenance costs

I am sure none of this experiences were basis for an objective experience, there are too many variables. But surely, there are (very few) problems that doesn’t fit Java too well, though it is not an OOP-only language, it is a multi-paradigm one, with many FP concepts seeping into it.

E.g. for some ultra low-lat audio processing I wouldn’t choose it, your binary stream processing may be another good example, though it depends on a bunch of factors and in many cases java is more than fine for that as well.
California knows they need to clear brush to prevent wildfires but environmentalist won’t let it happen

What seems to have changed is the need to clear brush. Before the climate crisis, droughts were less severe and the need for intensive forest management wasn't there., now when people say we need to clear brush to prevent fires, what does that mean?

It would be environmentally destructive to just go and start clearing out important forest ecosystems, the brush is surely part of the ecosystem ?

In Australia, they're trying to reinstate ceremonial burning by Aboriginal tribes people, but I have it on good authority these efforts aren't always going smoothly because it turns out there are good times and destructive times to set fire to the forest. These skills need to be relearned.

For example: In Australia, many native shrubs seeds need fire to open, but the seeds need to be present before the burn. So knowing the right time to do this is a lost art in many many areas in Australia due to destruction of their culture. I know people are working on restoring this practice which is a beautiful and hopeful thing to hear.

California isn't a place which has been traditionally exposed to intentionally burning as far as I'm aware of? So it's probably more complicated than just blaming environmentalists for it? I mean, maybe they have a point?

Sounds like the best thing to do is get to net zero carbon emissions by 2030.
Renting costs are not scalable or sustainable. The people who rent everything they can afford and own nothing will have to be in perfect health all the time, have no debts to pay, and basically work until death. Logan didn't run for no reason.

Technically speaking, tomatoes and chilis are fruits, while strawberries are not fruits (they are fruit clusters - each "seed" is an individual fruit). This is such a point of contention (apparently) that there's a whole "culinary" vs. "botanical" fruit distinction made.

Logically, eggs are meat. It's a giant animal cell. Culinarily speaking, meat refers to the tissue of mammals, particularly muscle tissue from pigs and cows and other ungulates. Fish usually excluded, poultry is often excluded, and offal may be excluded as well.

It's for the same reason why we call blackberries and strawberries both fruits (even though they are not). Culinarily speaking, they're similar. Used in a similar way. Deer, beef, and pork are interchangeable in many recipes. Beef, chicken, and salmon, are not.
Right and workers are the ones who build the country. The more workers there are the bigger the gross domestic product. Now if some money enriches people in other countries that means they will buy more Coca-Cola! This planet is not a zero-sum game. When people help each other that helps everybody. The exception is of course countries which start wars.

> The US public are really just pretending that they don't use metric.

That’s a silly thing to say when this whole thread is complaining about how Americans don’t use metric. We’re not pretending—we really don’t use it.

I myself am quite a fan of the metric system—unusually so for an American. I use it wherever I can intuit it, but that’s very hard when you’ve lived and continue to live in a culture that (despite your weird pedantic statement) doesn’t meaningfully use it outside of the sciences. Which is a shame, because I’m extremely jealous of that 1:√2 paper ratio.

Meters aren’t so bad to get used to; a meter is about a yard (0.91 m) and a kilometer is about ten football fields (1.10 km). But the major streets in my city are all a mile‐wide [super‐]block apart, so kilometers are too inconvenient to describe my routes. Liters are easy, since every American knows the size of a two‐liter soda bottle. But despite knowing the boiling/freezing points of water in both systems (212 °F/32 °F maps to 100 °C/0 °C), and keeping the thermometer in my car on Celsius for many years, I still don’t have an intuitive grasp of temperature in metric; without calculation, I can’t express the temperature outside in Celsius, nor when given a temperature in Celsius do I have more than a vague sense of how hot or cold it is. And kilograms are right out.

That’s what it’s like for someone who’s trying. Most Americans never experience metric in common measures past the 30 cm rulers they use in grade school (which always get flipped to the inch side).
Because Framework does not work with resellers (so my company cannot buy it), Dell keeps doing stupid Linux-hostile things (like re-releasing accessory revisions that break Linux features), and Lenovo has no high-end laptops available (at least not on the business side). And because managers all love their Macs, they always find a way to get company policy to allow for them.
