What "progress" and "hope" exactly? If you mean the attempt of the US to brainwash the local population with western secular ideologies and hope to eat McDonald's and BK "cuisine", thanks to God it didn't work out. Also, Taliban and Da'esh are not the same, let's not mix things up and water things down.

The masks have fallen and exposed the monsters behind them. This whole tragedy for the people of those occupied countries was in western eyes nothing more than continued occupation, resource stealing, weapons testing, and meddling in middle eastern affairs post WWI under the false guise of "freedom" and "democracy". And now they end up defeated and retreating in humiliation.

How is this different than saying every investment is a subsidy? China's future domestic spending capability is obviously expanding as it invests in industrial capability.

Thanks to compounding, if they have consistently spent half as much as "they should" elsewhere for decades, there is some moment where they will reach more absolute domestic spending without ever raising that rate to where it "should" be.
that was my first thought too ;-)

With some simplified numbers: if the Treasury sells a bond that matures in 1 year and costs $100, and it is purchased at auction for $80, then it has an effective interest rate of 25%, because for each $1 the Treasury got selling the loan, it will pay $0.25 in interest in one year, as well as paying back the principal.

I still look at the outcome. If a manufacturer puts a Torx screw instead of a Philips, was that choice made to make it harder to repair? What about a Security Torx instead of a Torx? What about a Pentalobe or Tri-wing instead of a Phillips? A Triple-Square instead of a hex socket? If they glue in the battery which serves to protect the battery and also makes it more difficult to repair?

"If it can be repaired in a practical way, it's repairable" seems more resilient and probably no more a judgment call than the design questions above.

I'm not really into Twitter, so I'm guessing there's some drama you are referencing that is topical.

But, I'm not talking about any society wide issue or philosophical treatise about trust and breakdowns in communication. Just talking about day to day interactions, where the stakes are completely different.

Trivial Example: If the sign on a mailbox says "Last pickup 5:00pm," what exactly does that mean? Will it be picked up, processed, and sent out of town that same day? Or just merely picked up, to be processed and sent the next day. This piece of written communication isn't a purely useful truth - it's ambiguous.

Pretend that this is an important behavior to know for your business, like if you were mailing huge checks for some obscure financial process. So you call up the local post office and ask. The worker who picks up the phone might know exactly what you are talking about and helpfully tell you the right answer. Or they might not, and tell you honestly that they don't know. Or they ask their supervisor, transfer you, make something up, tell you it doesn't matter, mail will get where it goes, or that you shouldn't worry about it, it's just mail.

ChatGPT could give you same distribution of answers as that worker did: helpful truth, meaningless equivocation, reassurance, redirection, confabulation, or lie to you. ChatGPT can be just as useful as talking to people in spite of those flaws, because people do the same thing.

This is reliant on the prior assumption that you gracefully handle unreliable communication, and that communication with people is useful. While this might seem a bit farfetched to some people, remember that we have a ready analog in computer science - networking TCP over UDP.

> What are people intentionally printing to paper for, often enough that it's worth having a printer?

If I'm being honest, mine is a mid-range document scanner that also happens to have a color laserjet attached for the occasional form or whatever that has to be on paper and will still be cheaper for me to print at home then get it from the print shop.

50 page ADF with duplex scanning is something you get in the ~$200+ price range of standalone document scanners, and they tend to not have a flatbed either for the occasional photo or copy of a page from a book. I'd love to be 100% paperless, but even for my very digital life I haven't managed to get that far yet.

They are all just reading the room and they see what is coming. They just do this because they are scared of right to repair and other laws and regulations and they will not be ready for it. So what they do is start early. They also see it as a selling point of course just with rise of public awareness, the success of Framework ... so even without any laws the move for sure is towards devices that are better repairable.

Honestly I think unsafe Rust is the solve here. Often you have an isolated data structure that is relatively simple that needs to break the borrow checker rules (without invoking UB such as multiple mutable references). An often times a safe API can be written on top of that.

However the current state of this is absolutely terrible. A lot of work needs to be done to improve the development experience with this model if it is to be used effectively in this way.
You couldn't get from beringia to New Mexico during the last glacial maximum because of all glaciers in the way.

The dates given for the LGM are (very roughly) when Beringia was accessible from Siberia. Pinning down when humans were able to access the rest of the continent is tricky, but current estimates for that are sometime between 20-18kya at the earliest based on genetics. Dates based on material culture evidence are even later than that, which presents done obvious problems with the dating on these footprints.

There are also pretty hard constraints on the other side for humans even arriving in that part of Siberia, since the immediate ancestor sites with sequencing at Yana and Mal'ta are from 32kya and 25kya respectively.

(Edit: because I noticed this too, and it got me curious, the reason for the incorrect result is that I didn't check the result of the read() call, and it was actually reading fewer bytes, by a small handful. read() is allowed to do this, and it's up to callers to call it again. It was reading 2147479552 bytes when the file size was 2147483648 bytes. If anything this should have made the read implementation faster, but mmap still wins even though it read more bytes. A fixed version follows, and now produces the same "sum" as the mmap):

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int fd;
struct stat sb;
ssize_t s;
ssize_t read_result;
ssize_t bytes_read;
char *read_buffer;

fd = open("./bigfile", O_RDONLY);
fstat(fd, &sb); // get the size

// do the read
read_buffer = malloc(sb.st_size);
bytes_read = 0;
do {
read_result = read(fd, read_buffer + bytes_read, sb.st_size - bytes_read);
bytes_read += read_result;
} while (read_result != 0);

uint8_t sum;
// Ensure the whole buffer is touched by doing a dumb math operation on every byte
for (size_t i = 0; i < sb.st_size; ++i) {
sum += read_buffer[i]; // overflow is fine, sorta a dumb checksum
}

fprintf(stderr, "done! sum=%d", sum);
}

It's valid but not routable in practice. The Internet collectively didn't choose to map existing IPv4 addresses into v6 or keep the routing unified, that's the problem. It should've been that 1.1.1.1 on v4 now owns 1.1.1.1/32 on v6, so going all-v6 doesn't mean cutting yourself off from v4 hosts. Once v6 was well-adopted, they could start using the longer addresses. Instead, we got two totally separate networks.

Huh. So, being almost 50, having spent 35 of those years writing code and orienting the majority of my life around it - somehow that's separate from my identity?

Do tell.
Skill exists. Some of us are programmers. Some of us are artists, musicians, writers, photographers, engineers. The time we put into our craft, learning, practicing, has real value. AI does not replicate that value, at best it only steals it. We aren't united by shared capacity, because the capacity belongs to the AI, not to you. We don't share understanding because, when a black box does all the work, there's nothing for you to understand.

You're standing in the dojo wearing the black belt you bought at Wal-Mart and condescending to the masters for acting as if any of the discipline and hard work they put in meant anything, because look - you have the same belt as everyone else, and didn't have to do shit for it.

This is why people hate AI and the people who use it.

I think it's more that like most modded / custom car owners, he thinks that it's reasonable to set an asking price according to the following formula:

Reality is:

What 1 person among the people who hear about the sale will pay = reasonable asking price
