You are correct.

What I meant was that - in the time after it was created for sysadmin tasks - but before it found it’s new home in data-science - Python was often used as a beginners’ language as a more modern and expressive alternative to BASIC - which led to its “toy” reputation - an undeserved reputation that it has successfully shed.

The ATC was a special case. It was illegal for them to strike, they struck anyway, so Reagan fired them.

Just to add a point of view, most of what we do with computers is easily verifiable (or of no concern). So the part that actually needs to be trustworthy is relatively small.

But I have no proposal of architecture that includes an external verification processor.
What organization has a media monopoly? You have access to the internet, with which you can access media from individuals all the way up to multiple large corporations.

On the national level, there are multiple sources of news (NYT/News Corp/Disney/Comcast/Paramount/WaPo/LATimes/etc). There are lots of sources of professionally and amateur produced entertainment. Apple/Amazon/Comcast/Disney/Sony/WarnerBrosDiscovery/Paramount/etc.

If anything, the monopoly exists on wired broadband to peoples homes, which is usually only available from one seller.

Love the enthusiasm - it's definitely a very fun project to be working on!

Discussed a few of your questions elsewhere in the comments, but here are some thoughts on scaling laws:

Over-simplifying a bit for the sake of brevity: In general, for larger aircraft structural mass scales up more quickly than wing area (check out “indoor free flight models”). By using a span-loaded structure (i.e. having weight distributed along the wing span to match the way lift is spread over the wing) you can avoid some of these constraints and have an approximately constant structural mass fraction.

The aircraft is actually very quiet - it needs to be very aerodynamically efficient so it doesn't require much thrust. You can’t really hear it in flight, but I’m no audio engineer - so I don't know how useful microphones would be. Genuinely curious about this so if you have any pointers let me know!

>The big problem is; if you have a thread reading from a socket, how can you ever interrupt it if you wish to do so? EINTR on signals is really not so bad when you think of it from that angle.

Yeah, but what if the thread is not currently blocked and you want to interrupt it / stop the thread? Unfortunately, it doesn't queue the EINTR for the next blocking function if the thread was NOT blocked at the moment the signal was sent.
Huh, ok. If Norman said that himself then fair enough, but it surprises me. I learnt it from Bob Spence, I recall he used the example of door handles and push plates: you can pull or push the handle, but it visually invites pulling, especially in contradistinction to the plate, which clearly says 'push me' - that's essentially suggesting the action by what's not possible visually.

I thought (not necessarily, but probably visual) design (to tell you how to use the thing) was the whole point. The original meaning as you say seems pretty redundant, that's just the same as the thing's function?

No, I remember the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 pretty well. Been playing since day one after all. But no matter how bug-free the Starfield launch has been, it still hasn't been a great launch. On Steam, Starfield was only sitting at 84k concurrent players a month after its release. Cyberpunk 2077, despite being lambasted heavily, was sitting at 145k players a month into its release. Starfield is also now the lowest-rated Bethesda game available on Steam [1]. The waning player count and mediocre scores would suggest that no matter how few bugs your game has, if the game isn't interesting, people just aren't going to be interested in it.

Okay one thing I had to laugh out loud about in this piece is the "Techno Capital Machine" section:

"Combine technology and markets and you get what Nick Land has termed the techno-capital machine[...] We believe the techno-capital machine is not anti-human – in fact, it may be the most pro-human thing there is. It serves us. The techno-capital machine works for us. All the machines work for us"

Mark might find it fashionable to quote Land but I'm unsure if he's actually read him. Here's what Land had to say on the techno-capital machine working for us, from Fanged Noumena:

“Machinic desire can seem a little inhuman, as it rips up political cultures, deletes traditions, dissolves subjectivities, and hacks through security apparatuses, tracking a soulless tropism to zero control. This is because what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources.”
Is that because you had better information or because the platform knew your interests and fed you information to reinforce what you thought was happening?
I'm working on a (free) REST client (just a hobby, won't be a big and professional cloud platform like Kong) for those who believe that REST is best enjoyed without clouds looming overhead.

I'd love to hear any feedback on things people like/dislike in existing REST clients, as Good Night's REST aims to offer a dreamy experience (with a sprinkle of jokes to make you snore...

FDA now advises against using fluoroquinolone antibiotics for the treatment of common infections like acute sinusitis, acute bronchitis, and urinary tract infections (UTI) without complications. The agency made this decision because the chances of serious side effects outweigh the benefits for most people.

Some people who take these medicines may develop disabling and potentially permanent side effects of the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system.

About half of the patients who had serious side effects from fluoroquinolones said the side effects began after the first or second dose and included:

Long-term pain

Pain, burning, tingling, numbness, weakness

Symptoms affecting tendons, muscles, and joints, including swelling, pain, and tendon rupture

Symptoms that lasted longer than a year

Depression, anxiety , or other changes in mental health

Sensation changes or nerve damage in hands, feet, arms, or legs

Dramatic impact on quality of life such as job loss, financial problems, and increased family tension

You'd hope as much, but it reads very similar to other serious corporate-speak. Take the explanation for why Keysight Technologies is called Keysight Technologies:

'The name Keysight is built from two English words: key, meaning indispensable or essential, a means of access; and insight, meaning the power of seeing, having vision and perception. The name connotes seeing what others cannot, having the critical or key insight to understand and unlock the changing technology landscape.

Keysight reflects what's in our DNA, what we strive to provide to our customers - the key measurement insights engineers need to accelerate innovation and ultimately achieve success - whether they see success as being first to market, increasing their differentiation, ramping up production, or achieving lower costs of test within a rapidly changing technology landscape.

According to Ron, the name Keysight "captures the spirit of our new company - innovative, insightful, and forward-looking, with the special kind of vision to sort through the rapid technological revolutions and anticipate customers' needs so they stay one step ahead."'[0]

So I'd say all bets are off.

Small detail: Palestine didn't attack Israel, because as Israel frequently insists, Palestine is not a country. Hamas attacked Israel.

Israel shouldn't bomb civilians, it should use their vast intelligence and military capabilities to hunt Hamas, a de facto terrorist group, and a pathetic one at that. It's very unlikely Israel didn't have intelligence on the impending attack, given they're next door, and it was reported that Hamas was openly digging up water pipes to make rockets. It gave a good reason to a disproportionate retaliation, though.

I don't like that they've served a narrative where they're the victims, and the media is distributing it with gusto. They're comparing themselves with Ukraine! Does that mean Palestine is Russia? I'd prefer that their leaders were more straight with their intentions, the cognitive dissonance between their discourse and their actions is hard to digest.

As a sibling commenter said, Excession is almost entirely about fleshing out the "society" of Minds and the scheming and politicking that's going on within. It is of course impossible to actually write in-depth superintelligent characters without being a superintelligence yourself, making the Minds in the story quite human-like. Nevertheless the novel shows that Banks was quite aware of the problem of the Minds easily becoming mere dei ex machina – and quite literal ones at that.

The Optimal Paper Moebius Band
I don't think I understand your point.

The solution proposed by Google doesn't seem to be too efficient, for several reasons:
* Traffic-aware lights already exist. This could already reduces stops in the vast majority of the cases.
* Google's system requires the deployment of an intricate, city wide network of smart traffic lights, driven by AI. I couldn't begin to imagine the kind of maintenance that would require.
* Regarding that, this is a proprietary solution. Cities would likely have to pay Google to keep the network working.

To me, this draws some parallels to how Europe and the US handle house heating. Traditionally, houses in the US have oversized heating solutions, whereas European house construction is focused on insulation. Yes, swapping all the windows for energy efficient ones is more expensive in the short term, but it is cheaper in the longer term.
Twitter, Slack, Discord, Youtube, Gmail, Google search, JetBrains software and all the other good daily drivers aren't open source. Games we play usually aren't opensource either. PS5 and Xbox aren't opensource, as well as Nintendo. As long as those tools provides you with some "free" version (doesn't matter if you're product) then it's perfectly fine. And it seems that with all the non opensource versions you get a better product overall. And I'd rather play the better game, use the better search and write in better editor, than go for opensource version, which source I would probably never read.

Generally I'd agree with you, but for certain apps, it would be nice to be given the option. I never want to be forced to use the app, but sometimes when looking at a bandcamp page and checking out the music, I'd like to switch over to listening in the app, since I don't have to keep the browser window on top for it to continue playing. The only way to do that is to go use the (bad) search feature in the app to find the thing you're already looking at in the browser.

> Glyphosate is used for only one reason, it’s profitable for Monsanto.

Farmers love glyphosate because it kills weeds very effectively. It’s hard to exaggerate how much of a neat thing glyphosate was considered in the agricultural world when it appeared. That’s the reason it is used. Now, the reason it is produced and sold is that it is profitable for Monsanto, and regulation hasn’t stopped Monsanto.

Imagine dying because the power company didn’t update old power lines. What a waste of life.
When oats are harvested (in most of North America), they are first killed with glyphosate. This ensures that the harvest time is not left to chance, where a rain storm could ruin it. The result is that most things with oats have unacceptable levels of glyphosate. Even organic oats have been tested to be contaminated.

I spent quite a bit of time on it last year, a few weeks of full-time work or so, but haven't spent anything on it for quite a while. There's a bunch of things I'd like to do so I'll probably spend another burst of effort in the future.

It's kind of an annoying project to work on because everything is platform-dependent (and at times fickle) so you can't "just" run "go test ./..." but really do need to test it on all platforms. BSD and illumos aren't too much trouble, macOS is already rather painful (slow), and the experience of running Windows is not something I'm able to describe using only polite terms.
Hopefully a relatively easy fix on the OS side: ensure that these toasts have a higher z-index than app overlay windows.

Sidenote: I really hope Android doesn't lose the ability to do things like these overlay windows.

These types of "power user" features are often where innovation happens. It makes me sad when flexible general purpose APIs are replaced with locked down, specific ones. (e.g. overlay windows API -> a specific "chat heads" API).

The new APIs might be fine for current use cases, but ensure that innovation terminates at whatever th OS vendor designed.

I remember John McAfee promising to eat his own dick if Bitcoin wasn't worth $500k in 3 years. He later said those hyperbolic statements were just to onboard new users (making them lies? fraud?) which makes sense as he was doing a daily coin/project shill for a while which pumped and dumped various coins he held.

A real world example of how Bitcoin didn't work, even though it could have worked is Steam[1]. They tried, and while gamers are more likely to be able to handle the intricacies of crypto than most of the rest of the population, there are just some really difficult issues to solve with using raw Bitcoin.

Virtualized networks on top of Bitcoin like Lightning[2] seek to solve some of those issues, but bring their own complexity and issues including finding enough VC money to bootstrap the network into even having money to function.
