This is better understood when writing websites. A website shouldn’t be tied to a particular browser vendor or a particular browser version. Browsers don’t have any mechanism similar to -Werror because it would be a “break if the user upgrades their browser” flag. (There is “use strict” but it doesn’t become stricter with browser upgrades.)

Similarly, let’s say we’re talking about an open source project that users may download and compile from source. A portable open source project shouldn’t needlessly break if you use a newer or different compiler.

So:

- Do make the source code as clean as you can, using all tools available, including -Werror. Putting -Werror in your continuous build should be fine too.

- When a user downloads your library and compiles it in order to use it, the make target (or equivalent) that they use shouldn’t compile with -Werror, because we don’t know which compiler they have or which warnings that enables.

I am much more looking forward to potential 256 Core EPYC with PCIe 6.0 Server for Netflix CDN.... Waiting for the "Serving Netflix Video Traffic at 3200Gb/s and Beyond" Talk :)

The only thing I want out of some of these tools is either teaching or giving me out of the box configurations that help me get a reallllly good mix. Why shouldn't every record today sound pro? Talent aside, I think they should be implementing some the typical tricks sound engineers/producers use automatically.

I mean we're really talking about wave analysis then cutting of frequencies, boosting others. This can be automated based on a desired "genre/sound".
I have a friend that just spent the last two years building a fox-body Mustang drag car with a turbo-charged big-block Ford engine in it. I was surprised to learn he put a Powerglide in it. I guess the Ford folks even use the Powerglide. The US automotive aftermarket is amazing.

That's what they tried to do in the 70s, essentially. Even with the modern computing power, it wouldn't work for multiple reasons, but they certainly gave it a good try, and given the caliber of the people involved (Glushkov, Kolmogorov, etc.) the lack of talent wasn't the problem. The impossibility of the solution likely was.

> despite the fact that they are a benefit to the country as a whole (is that wrong?).

Not in moderation. But I don't think that it would be helpful for most countries to have more people in them than they already do, let alone the earth as a whole. We could distribute better (allow people from inhospitable places to choose to live and work somewhere else if they want to) as well as slowly and carefully bring the number of people down so we don't need 5 earths to have everyone live at today's rich-country standards. I'm sure we can still have billions of people, especially with advancements we'll have made by the time that we'd get close to reducing the current number by so much as a few percent, but for the time being: more is not the solution. What made you think that?

>The western world is an exception to the general norm

I see this quoted a lot, but I don't think it's true:

+ There are plenty of places (and with a significant population) outside the western world that are quite secular and have become more secular in the past decades
+ There are places in the West that have become more religious. If by "Western" you mean just "Western Europe", then, yeah, that's a specially secular place but it's also a tiny place in both population and area.

China, Japan and South Korea are quite secular in many ways. A big chunk of Latin America is now quite secular too. You already have ~1.5B people fairly secular people that are non western.

On the other hand, countries like Poland or Hungary (which I'm guessing we would classify as Western) are becoming more religious.
I'm a strong advocate for front brakes, but to me it seems damn near impossible to drop a chain on a fixed gear transmission. Some foreign object would need to be overlapping the chain plane somehow, which sounds like you're already crashing anyway. I think it's far more likely for the chain to outright break.

That's the beauty of illusionism, isn't it? You really have to think against yourself. If you can explain a person's reaction without 'knowing' his subjective experience, you do not need 'hard' consciousness to explain your reactions either. So you, right now, digesting this sentence and experiencing subjective thoughts, do not really experience those, you just have the illusion you do. Look at my second link.

There are some: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Questions/Are_there_any...

But I found that once I learned the LaTeX syntax, I can type equations faster than I can write them by hand, especially if they're complex. This is because most equations have lots of repeated elements (for example, when say, you're rearranging an equation), and I can copy and paste faster than I can rewrite them. I could take notes in LaTeX faster than a professor could write them on the chalk board.

I wrote my dissertation in LaTeX, and while I hate the debugging (errors are arcane), learning the "incantations" are really the least of one's worries. I wouldn't be put off by that.
Why have your cake and eat it? It gives more people from poor countries to experience Japan and earn money there. Then they come back and have money to open businesses and more knowledge and exposure to first world practices. It also distribute the opportunity between more people rather than giving everything to few lucky ones while the rest don't get any opportunity to improve their lives. It also prevents all the obvious problems of integration and fractured society which affects second generation immigrants in many western countries. It's a win win situation for everybody.

For simpler models you can do a sensitivity analysis by rerunning the model while systematically varying the uncertain parameters. Based on reading a handful of IPCC papers, a similar method is used in climate science for the most important parameters, but is severely limited by the resources needed to rerun the models and the sheer number of parameters.

Basically, any uncertainty due to complexity is mostly ignored and any skeptics who point this out are tarred as "deniers." Combine this with the fact that generally climate scientists do not produce any point predictions to verify models, and I think you can safely ignore many climate models. The papers that do produce explicit measurable predictions tend to find an interesting result by stretching the models to fit a narrative, eg: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41477-018-0263-1

This sounds like a strawman. Many people don't want to have kids for different kinds of reasons (personal objectives, couple style of life, they don't like kids, etc). You seem to have a very low opinion of people that don't want to have kids and, on the other hand, a very high opinion of people that do have kids.

> There's no real doubt that possible Ukrainian NATO membership (and short of that, its ever closer de facto integration with NATO) were primary motivating factors for the Russian decision to invade.

Interesting if this is the case that NATO makes no appearance in the now deleted Russian victory article.

You can read the article for yourself here https://web.archive.org/web/20220226051154/https://ria.ru/20....

Instead of talking about NATO it talks about Russia answering the "Ukraine question" and finally reuniting all "Russian" people together.

The article reads a lot more like a country conquering another then someone celebrating victory over defeating a country joining a military alliance.
Some interesting points. He's my rebuttal...

On (a), depends on whether you subscribe to the view the Modern Monetary Theory(MMT) is sustainable or a dangerous experiment that has unknowable consequences.

(b) Japan lacks natural resources (mineral, oil/gas etc.) and is hugely reliant on exports to keep the domestic economy running.

(c) There's a lot of cool stuff at a cultural level if you're a geek. Geeks are alas a small percentage of the population and that cool stuff is often kind of cool because it is a snapshot of the past. Not sure the curiosities are enough to keep the show on the rails.

(d) This one amused me. I recall IBMers talking about how IBM was one of the top companies by revenue right before it entered free fall and gave the tech industry to the modern tech giants. Kanban, Just-in-time manufacturing etc. were interesting and have their place. But something's gone wrong with the Japanese mindset. The thinking that produced interesting innovation back in the 70s, 80s and maybe even early 90s seems to have given way to a stagnant way of thinking that's evident everywhere you look. There's niches of creativity in things like anime but the innovation in technology and in process improvement that once enabled the amazing growth that Japan saw seems to have given way to a rigid way of thinking and a culture of just following the once innovative processes instead of continually improving them.

As for the voice controlled touch panel, probably not - but could the functions be simplified to less buttons and a more intuitive UI, for sure... unless you've embraced or complacently fallen into a culture of stagnation.

On your points re: China, they're innovating in ways Japan can only dream of without the fanfare or buzzwords. It's why most of the products we buy come out of Chongqing or Shenzhen. There's stuff wrong with China for sure but they're knocking it out of the park economically compared to Japan that's kind of riding the train over the cliff.

Re: The US etc., everywhere has issues but Europe/The US does not have the observable stagnation that can be witnessed in Japan. That's not about condescension but about looking at what I see with an open mind and not being afraid to make critical observations based on what I see before me.

I'd suggest Japan might be something of a warning for us in the West - if we stay complacent, keep worrying about superficial stuff that doesn't matter and let the core economic/innovating metrics trend in the wrong direction for too long we risk getting into a similar muddle.

> I fail to see what the ecological problem actually is

It's as you said:

> It is really difficult to make predictions x years ahead of [things like] innovations

Humans already use more resources than they regenerate (the definition of unsustainable). Currently, most of the world population lives in relative poverty compared to the people in places like Germany, USA, Japan, etc. It would be fair to have everyone live at this standard, but that costs even more resources, making it even less sustainable! We can hardly prevent other countries from wanting to innovate, so it will happen, and our problem will get worse if we do not gain better technology (and/or reduce our consumption of animal products, learn to stop heating offices across weekends, etc. It works on both the supply and demand side of resources).

Precisely because it is hard to predict whether future innovations will materialize soon enough to fix those problems in a way that we do not reduce everyone's living standards, we cannot rely on the innovations happening and being deployed earth-wide in time
I'm right there with you. I once tried managing ableton projects via git. Was a dream from a simplicity standpoint but was not effective in the long run. I don't remember why it didn't end up working well but I abandoned it shortly after trying it the first time. Something like this in modern DAWs would be incredible.

And if you fail? Do you still recommend having kids? In my experience there is great overlap between not wanting kids and hating work, for such people kids would likely ruin their life.

I'm not familiar with that community or even ones closely related, but I've worked several years in Japan and Korea, so I'll take a stab at it.

For Japan, I'm pretty confident it's the language barrier. As in most countries, tech people in Japan are mostly males, and mostly are not very strong in the humanities and in social skills. This group tends to be extremely self-conscious about their limited English ability and generally avoids interaction with foreigners.

For Korea, I see a trend, but I'm not confident about the explanation. I see lots of bright kids at university, see them get hired at big tech firms, and see them enthuse about their work over beers. I don't see them interacting a lot with foreigners. My impression is there is so much going on within Korea that they don't feel strongly motivated to look outside.
I had this discussion with several Indians and I don’t get it. It’s not that India is just far from any modern country by any definition, they are also significantly far from developing countries and I’d say they are the worst Hindu/Buddhist country out there. Polluted, Over-crowded, Underfunded infrastructure, Unreliable services, etc.. Many neighboring countries have figured out this stuff even though they still don’t have the job market of modern countries.

They do seem to be improving on the infra. front. But compared to China, they are walking with a turtle’s speed.

My spouse and I struggled with whether it was ethical to have children. It was a financial burden of course but one we felt capable of meeting.

I don't think it's really a question of "enjoy your riches," because no matter what your status, nobody can "afford" children, not even the ultra high net worth individuals. It's a burden regardless.

But I think therein lies the answer. There was a time not all that long ago that not having children was a burden. Who was going to bring in the harvest, or at the very least supervise bringing in the harvest? Who could you really trust to take care of you properly when you got old? And of course, there's a biological compulsion as well, but that's much easier to sidestep only in the last couple generations.
I often hear this argument, and while I (an american) often make this about my local government or even my local federal bureaucrats, the idea that the American government in particular is not effective and focused is just... completely wrong. No government in modern history has been so able to simply enforce its will via sheer force. The top brass of the American government is the epitome of effective and focussed. It really doesn't matter what the manager of your local DMV is like.
They really don't though. Conservatives have a lot more in common with liberals than either do with central americans.

It's really not. Religion is about a human connection with the divine or supernatural. Encoding morality into public rules is a legal question.
That doesn't make any sense. If that's the case, the physical change should precede the changes in thought patterns.

Also, physicalism is about as empirical as falling in love. It's far from definitive, proven, fact.

There's no chemical emission that can force someone to have an exact thought, dream, or inner dialogue.
As a slight counterpoint to this, there is a lot of implicit knowledge and group cohesion in most workplaces that immigrants can have a very hard time picking up on and integrating into. When I moved to another country I thought I fit in well with my coworkers, but it turned out that my style of conflict resolution was absolutely incompatible with theirs, and I had to relearn how to communicate with my boss, despite the boss being fluent in English. This cultural misfit set me up to be manipulated into the position of group enemy by one of the more socially savvy and manipulative coworkers.

More generally, the challenges in communication are a well known barrier to outsourcing knowledge work.
I wanted to thank you for pointing out that gschier sold Insomnia a while ago.

Something doesn’t sit right though, no? You can’t fix horrendous pollution regardless of the amount of money you have and the differential of the modern/developing economies yields. You might have a bigger garden but the city won’t have a biking lane. You might be able to afford private health care but if you rely once on public care (ie: you get into an accident somewhere) then you are screwed.

It’s more expensive to live in a non-developed country than a developed one. Now a close to developed country might be an interesting choice since the prices are still low but the quality is fairly similar.
