I've always seen it more as exaggeration/absurdity for the sake of humor than ignorant misuse of the word. Like in a cartoon when a character's eyes _literally_ pop out of their head. Of course, even if that's true, I'm sure the nuance would sometimes be lost in translation and help blur the definition in common vernacular just the same.

I think an underappreciated danger of "killer robots" is that they allow converting capital directly into precise violent force without the need for some significant portion of the population tacitly approving by participating.

E.g. a hundred years ago you could only convert cash into violence by recruiting and paying ordinary people. You couldn't wage a war that the people didn't want because people wouldn't sign up. Fifty years ago you could convert cash into indiscriminate violence with bombing campaigns, but you still needed the people if you wanted to invade instead of just destroying.

Killer robots shake that up, and I fear brings us one step closer to the apocalyptic "corporation-nations" of scifi. I don't think it's likely at this juncture, but corporations sitting on cash could wage war on each other or other nations. Chiquita doesn't need the CIA to do their dirty work, they can just invade Nicaragua with an army of autonomous robots.

Wealth is now directly translatable into force, which is somewhat terrifying.

This is fascinating

The average calorie deficit in weight-losing patient is reported to be approximately 200 kcal per day in the setting of advanced cancer[132] and 250-400 kcals/d in those patients with cancer cachexia[178]. An average supplementation of 1

This sorta debunks the myth that metabolism does not matter for obesity, or that the differences between a fast vs slow metabolism, which may only be 200 calories controlling for weight, is insignificant. This 200/day loss is enough to produce significant weight loss.

> The few times in my career that I've ended up doing UI development, the code and complexity was in the presentation layer, not in events or model or business logic.

its true, though it doesn't necessarily have to be that way (view models (or even bff) if done properly)

speaking from experience, i think the big issue is how will your dev team be structured... will android/ios people be able to write idiomatic rust (or whatever language) or should that core be a completely separate team? now you cant just hire any dev, they need to understand how it's going to be used by multiple client languages specific to that cross-platform system

though this framework looks like its pre-baking the architecture which means it probably wont look idiomatic from the client-side, so now your hiring for ui needs to take that into account... and now you have multiple teams that need to communicate adding overhead.

using cross-platform sounds simple and easy in the beginning but its a big commitment with multiple facets

i'm not sure what the real answer is... my guess is "it depends: what are you actually trying to do?"

> when we have very similar data, such as living in a particular culture, we mostly come to the same conclusions

That's not my take from the interview, but in any case this is provably false. People living in a given "culture" don't come to the same conclusions: they come to different conclusions -- usually opposite ones.

Politics wouldn't exist otherwise. Or most wars, which are almost always between neighbors sharing more or less the same "culture" but having values so different they're willing to die to defend them.
I disagree. Learning the tools and skills to do a task is the default assumption for anything - be it riding a bike or building a SaaS.

If you cannot commit a few minutes to learn how to route correctly, then you really are just "hoping" for something magical to work.

Would you take the same position in software? Almost certainly not - because it is complex.

Sure, there's plenty of no-code or low-code platforms out there - but why are they not more popular? Because they universally suck and their target user quickly "graduates" into real coding.

People asking/demanding auto-routers are asking a FOSS project to commit a lot of time and resources (because it's not trivial to implement!) to a feature a very small subset of their userbase will ever use, and will also be the most negatively impacted by said tool when it fails them without them realizing.

Seriously, if your board layout can be done by an auto-router then it is a trivial board and you should spend a few minutes learning the basics. There is nothing but upside in doing so.

I think McDonald's already saw the writing on the wall in terms of lowering their labor cost. Where I live here in the South-eastern U.S, most McDonald's have moved to Kiosks or ordering via App. They started with 2 Kiosks shortly after the post-2020 labor shortage. Then they added 4 more kiosks to handle the morning and lunch time rush.
The button is really nice but faceID worked better than I thought it would.
It's less problematic in that case, but still problematic. It's less apparent during initial authorship, because you often have all the names that might collide already in your head at that point. It's during later maintenance when you lack context (like when you/your coworkers haven't seen, or don't recall, the code) that the problems become more apparent. You're basically digging holes behind you as you're walking along, and even though you might not trip over them, someone else walking on that path eventually will.
I don't think this is the gotchya or insight porn you think it is.

Maybe that it takes me a long time to integrate things which are painful. Above all else, daily, I feel perfectly capable and sharp, and I know deep down I will be fine, but then there is always this otehr side... hard to explain

automation is expensive and hard to do at scale, and also prone to problems. It also does not replace humans. Self-checkout kiosks have been around for 15+ years but have not replaced cashiers. Many fast food places have self-ordering kiosks but this has not made employees obsolete.

It's exactly the same. You can have the avatars doing anything you want, there is no difference.

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

Or just a top 5:

- Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

- Battle of Okinawa (and just the habit of American soldiers on Okinawa to rape and kill the locals in general)

- No Gun Ri massacre, Korea

- The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam

- My Lai massacre, Vietnam (really, most of the Vietnam War and Korea. Americans really do like killing Asians in the most violent and horrible ways it seems.)

- Haditha, Iraq (and arguably the entire Iraq war, which was waged under false pretenses to redirect American bloodlust after 9/11 towards the neocons' existing goals to "democratize" the Middle East and distract the public from Saudi involvement in the attacks.)

- Abu Ghraib as a runner up just because stacking pyramids of naked, tortured prisoners of war is just kind of banal compared to everything else.

Now does any of this mean other countries also don't commit war crimes? No. But the US has arguably committed more war crimes than any other country, going back to the continent-wide genocide against the natives. Is this because the US is more evil than all other countries? Subjectively, yes, but I would argue that the US as a nuclear superpower simply has no external limit on its capacity to commit war crimes and therefore commits the most simply because it can get away with it. If other countries were in America's shoes, they would probably be committing war crimes just as often.

While I agree that the government should plan better for integration, I still think people should be able to travel wherever they please. It seems incredibly unfair to deny those whose misfortune was being born in a poorer country.

If you look at how humans have identified in terms of communities, we’ve gone from a tribal identity all the way to a national identity. It only makes sense as we go on to become a global identity.
The main issue is integration, not immigration. City planning and free school choice plays a big part imo. If most immigrants from poor countries end up living in the same areas and having their kids go to the same schools as each other, then you'll inevitably end up with situations like this.

And I'm sure the archaic drug legislation and a few details about the court system play a part too.

I think it depends what you use them for. Personally, since I use my external monitor for coding, I'd rather optimize for PPI. I love reading code on my MacBook's Retina screen, which is about 218 PPI, and I definitely notice the difference when reading code on non-retina. Unfortunately it's extremely expensive to get the equivalent of Retina PPI in an external monitor. But you can still get decent readability even without Retina PPI if you avoid issues like display scaling. Here's a great blog post [0] about the tradeoffs of screen size, resolution, pixel density, and the "zone of despair" where display scaling causes problems.

I’ve also seen the opposite, where in-room Wi-Fi was charged, but in the hotel’s function spaces, it was free. The economics of this are confusing, at best. I have also had the situation where the in-room wi-fi was so slow that using my phone as a hot spot was faster!
That's not how wages work. Hourly wages aren't based on actual economic value; they're based on a complex of factors that make someone accept or leave a job (convenience, opportunity cost, bargaining power, prior experience, etc.).

Fast food restaurants clearly realize more than $20/hr in economic value from their hourly employees in California, much like they do in Europe.
"Legal Minimum Wage positively increases the productivity of the nation’s industry, by ensuring that the surplus of unemployed workmen shall be exclusively the least efficient workmen; or, to put it in another way, by ensuring that all the situations shall be filled by the most efficient operatives who are available...

What would be the result of a Legal Minimum Wage on the employer’s persistent desire to use boy labor, girl labor, married women’s labor, the labor of old men, of the feeble-minded, of the decrepit and broken-down invalids and all the other alternatives to the engagement of competent male adult workers at a full Standard Rate? … To put it shortly, all such labor is parasitic on other classes of the community, and is at present employed in this way only because it is parasitic...

The unemployable, to put it bluntly, do not and cannot under any circumstances earn their keep. What we have to do with them is to see that as few as possible of them are produced."

Google internal services are always being rewritten, and code migrated from the old version of the service to the new one. If nobody is willing to migrate an externally visible product, it has to sunset at the same time that the internal service does.

This philosophy does wonders for internal code quality and consistency. It also makes people outside the company wonder whether they should trust Google's public offerings.
You kind of can in KiCAD. You import to a footprint, and change the lines to the type you want (courtyard, silkscreen, front copper, etc), and for things like pads you can use DXF for reference and centerpoints then put your pads in.

The CAD tools inside KiCAD could be a lot better (esp since it’s using FreeCAD under the hood and the tools should be there) but it’s OKAY as is.
A slightly more ethical solution, for those wondering, is SSH tunneling. A lot of gated wifi networks allow SSH traffic through without payment.

There's probably some locality you can exploit as well. Given the same surface and close proximity, I imagine the coefficients are nearly identical.

Or store only the rotation of certain typical small set of SH coefficients in two values + index. For an ideal, single material sphere, all the coefficients could be lined up exactly, right?
This alongside the question re: DXF really reveals the inexperience of the question asker.

My experience with the Altium auto-router (which is pretty good, as these things go) was that it took quite a bit more time to setup and tune than to just bite the bullet and manually route the board. Eagle's auto-router was easier to use, but it was also attached to Eagle.

At the end of the day, the difference between getting an autorouter to the point that it can autoroute a simple 2-layer board with lots of through hole parts, getting it to the point that its useful to the average professional, is monstrous. There's so much more to routing that just widths and clearances. It will probably someday be the case that most PCBs are laid out and routed entirely by computers. But for now, there's too much subtlety in PCB design. I'd lose my mind if I had AI-designed boards failing QC because of tombstoning, for instance. I'm not sure that anyone is trying to simulate board heating in detail enough to predict its occurrence, let alone evaluate solutions prior to board fab. And yet, the solution is pretty easy once you see that its happening in the first place.
