The point that I'm trying to get at is that, I agree with you that there's a sense in which different people are going to prefer different things, that people who are more invested in a given sport are going to be able to see more of the nuance in it, and that as someone who's not invested in soccer there's certainly a lot that I'm missing.

However, I don't think that it completely comes down to personal taste. There can still be areas where the flow of a soccer match can be more samey or less intrinsically exciting than in certain other sports.

For example, soccer doesn't have the same moment to moment, head to head, back and forth of something like tennis or boxing. That's not to say that it completely lacks those moments of conflict; say when a defender is staring down an oncoming striker. However, as far as I am able to tell, they are less dense compared to something like a tennis match where they take up the whole of the playtime.
Theoretically, it will happen just once, because the local price of ICE will decrease as the local supply of EVs increases. In other words, the cost of ICE vehicles should slowly plummet to zero as the EV market replaces it. When will they eventually cross each other? Nobody really knows.

Not sure what you mean there.

With checked exceptions you need to either handle them directly or yes you can wrap them in a RuntimeException and catch it in main.

I've done a decade of old-school JVM development at enterprise companies. Never seen any codebase where no exceptions are locally handed.

Some of these proposals don’t work especially for Go, Go type system is so plain infact it’s too plain that allowing for “special compiler keywords” can do more harm than good, example is “?” What if there’re 4 return values?, in Go where Order is pretty important, to Go this alone increases compile time

fwiw, the Selenium project is now old enough to go to college (19 years this month!); it's not ready to retire just yet. (Side-note: Google Chrome is 15 years old. Age is just a number.) Selenium is still learning from other projects and implementing new things. Specifically, check out the WebDriver BiDi project, adding a bidirectional protocol which was the core of what made Playwright and Puppeteer faster. Also, Selenium devs are working with the W3C to make this work for everyone.

For me, there is one fundamental issue which makes me want to switch from LaTeX -- it can't produce accessible documents (and good HTML would do just fine as accessible). LaTeX is making good progress in this area.

Amazingly (to me) it seems typst is doing even worse than LaTeX, while starting much later! I'm happy to be told they have succeeded in this area of course.

> Our enemy is anti-merit, anti-ambition, anti-striving, anti-achievement, anti-greatness.

if you run with this attitude, it sort of destroys society. Everyone is too focused on being better than everyone else. It essentially sacrifices culture on the altar of economic growth

And I seriously think this GDP-worshipping attitude is outdated. Net economic output means very little if people like horowitz come in and steal most of it for themselves

A much better metric would be life expectancy, or average level of educational attainment. Imo instead of prioritizing GDP at the expense of everything else, we should prioritize having a functioning society where people are happy, healthy, and the system is sustainable

Unions could be far more helpful. They should be focused on guiding their members towards individually increased bargaining power (by guiding them into more skilled specialties etc, and teaching them how to self-market), rather than the picket marching antagonistic crap.

I don’t think it’s as much about day dreaming but more so about garbage in, garbage out. We know LLMs perform way better when you use high quality input data [0]. Having your input data be skewed towards one genre isn’t great. And thats not even getting into the quality of these books.

Having an expert (or other more specialised software) optimise an otherwise satisfactory 3d model is going to be vastly more simple a process than what can be a painstaking process of getting the “original vision” for a shape into a digital form.

I’m better with CAD style workflows than I am with Freeform modelling, but I’m also not an experienced enough user of any particular CAD program that I don’t spend ages frustratingly trying to understand where to go to edit the correct part of the chain of operations that built up a particular fillet, chamfer, or sweep, every program is a little different… just different enough to throw me off since I don’t use them often enough to really get over that learning threshold, for instance I’ve used Onshape one time in the last 12 months… spent an hour trying to work something out… and then 5 minutes actually making my edit…

If I could have opened up the design in 2d blueprints form, and put in some kind of multi modal query to the effect of “these are my blueprints, can you convert them to (CAD program of choice), and while you are converting them, increase cross section CS1 vertically to from 8mm to 10mm keeping everything else fixed” … would save me a lot of time making adjustments to peoples 3d models for printing. It can be really annoying to fuck around as much as is sometimes necessary due to individual cad workflow preferences just to make conceptually simple edits like “this hanging pot, but stretched 50% taller, and with all the holes/cutouts kept the same size please”

The ML models might not be able to do a perfect curve for a gorgeous arcing buttress or a complex bolt hole pattern for attaching multiple elements to a primary support structure… but it should be able to do a lot of the sorts of work that people use OpenSCAD for.
> In C#/Java, exceptions are often (ab)used to create invisible control flows through the program that are extremely difficult to follow since exceptions can float up arbitrarily large stacks before being intercepted and handled.

I've actually never ever seen that done in production code in the last 20 years I've been programming. I've only seen exceptions used for errors in which case the described behaviour is exactly what I want.

The fact that Go advocates have to exaggerate the issues with exceptions to make the design of errors in Go seem reasonable makes me extremely suspicious.

How is it possible to justify this? Any layoff should have been thought about before they hired? In your sort of moral framework, a company would not be able to reduce headcount until bankruptcy.

No, companies don't give a shit about you, it's egotistical to believe you're that important that you deserve ongoing charity paychecks just because they hired you at some point in the past. Employment is purely, by definition, a transactional relationship. You sell labor. They buy labor. It's why you are free to leave as soon as it makes sense, and it's why they can do the same.

Not always true. Kim Dotcom was extradited from New Zealand to the USA for doing things that were legal in NZ, but illegal in the USA [0].

Obviously, the lesson here is that you can be prosecuted for doing stuff that the USA doesn't like, if it's annoying a politically-connected entity enough [1]. The libdvdcss thing is probably just the French being awkward in that way they love to do; if it had been the UK they would have rolled over without a word of complaint.

Europe probably has the same reach, but less inclination to do anything with it (imho).

> I don't care for all that "logic" which is not logical at all, just a bullshit attempt to avoid confronting that reality doesn't work the way you wish it would and you have no way to change that.

I am so very curious which part of this is breaking with reality in your mind. But given you aren't refuting any particular assertion I'm guessing you're just uncomfortable with the conclusion and don't have a logical refutation for any part of it, so you're just discarding it.

To be clear, I do not fully agree with this either which I spelled out quite plainly above. I'm just saying I do understand how they get to the point they're at, which like, you're allowed to do that. You're allowed to understand why people think a certain way without agreeing with it, but just saying "well that's not how reality works!" as though our modern world, legal system and basis of governance was handed down to us by the Almighty on Mount Sinai is the epitome of intellectual cowardice. Most everything about our "reality" is malleable should we will it.

Oof. Yeah, I've done a lot of different styles of commutes (walk, bike, public transit, drive) over the years. My favorite is something that is ~20 minutes door to door involving physical activity (walking or biking). It does help tremendously if you can be flexible about when you arrive/leave as well. Weather is also a concern—I did do a 25 minute walking commute in Boston but it could be a problem with snow and rain.

2. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:

a. the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or

b. the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.

3. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data by a controller not established in the Union, but in a place where Member State law applies by virtue of public international law.

How this is enforced this is a different question, but the GDPR explicitly spells out that the controller or processor, even if not established in the EU, is subject to GDPR if they are interacting with EU citizens.

You should be able to do relighting with ControlNet. Basically render the model to all the maps you'd use for PBR (fullbright color/depth/reflectivity/etc), train ControlNets that hold all those constant and do img2img but let it make up the background.

Though I'm not aware of anyone already doing this, since I think research has moved on to NeRF models that act on 3D scenes directly.

I don’t know where you live but here in most of Europe, the vaccines are barely in the news anymore. When we hear about them it’s usually about the elderly.

Flu shot vaccines are also highly effective and you’re also recommended to take them every year. This hasn’t been a problem ever — if now it suddenly is, then it’s difficult to think that this is the group that “seeks truth and transparency”, rather than the group that seeks to stir conflict and spread bullshit for their own benefit.
We have laws. There’s a trade off between more vibrant economies (easier to start, fail, start again) and more stagnant ones (harder to start but more safety nets).

There’s no perfect set point and the trade offs will always have downsides.

Errors are composable so this isn't such a problem in practice. Most of the prod code I wrote would do something like this

use thiserror::Error;

#[derive(Error, Debug)]
enum Error {
#[error("Could not open given decomp file: {0}")]
FileOpen(#[from] std:io::Error),
#[error("Compressed read error: {0}")]
CompressedRead(#[from] gz::Error)
}

fn decomp(filename: &Path) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error> {
let fd = File::open(filename)?; // File is automatically closed by its destructor.
let zd = GzDecoder::new(fd); // flate2::read::GzDecoder::new does not return an error.
let mut data = Vec::new(); // Rust makes the caller allocate the buffer for reads.
zd.read_to_end(&mut data)?;
Ok(data)
}
I appreciate the call-out.

So slightly better than RC Bray? The bar for audio books is *extremely* low. I switched from being a prolific reader to a prolific listener (mostly sci-fi and fantasy) as my family duties had me hauling kids around to activities for hours a day multiple times a week. It's amazing to me how many more novels I just can't get into due to the narrator. I greatly look forward to the day where I can choose my own AI narrator for audio books. With a few notable exceptions, AI generated narration would be a significant improvement.

> CCS1 does not either.

CCS1 is entirely common with CCS2 for DC charging. The rest could have been unified later.

It is safety margin. The pin are currently undersized for the rated power[1]

> NACS is using CCS1 signalling.

Which is irrelevant. Because both are still fundamental incompatible.

> CCS1 is different enough from CCS2

It is not. The only major difference between both is the presence of the three phase AC. A thing that could have been adapted in future and standardized everywhere world wide.

Now we are in the ridiculous situation that an EV will not even be able to charge itself in a neighboring country just because of lobbying bullshit.

Tesla already ship car with CCS2 by default in Europe. They could have standardize on that even in USA.

They did not for short profits, not for user convenience.

So I’ve been collaborating with some mechanical engineering friends over the past year, and one experiment we did was exploring ways to make cad better.

One conclusion we came to is that large language models do not understand geometry, in a pretty fundamental way! They do understand pair wise relationships that are more topological in character. But that’s not quite the same thing.

The blocker on the text to concept art to 3D model to cad route is the meshes and geometry you’ll generate won’t have the easy adjusting and parameterization manipulations you can take for granted in human authored cad!

That’s also ignoring developing a robust geometry kernel that would live underneath all this!

There's a whole section entitled Markets that you obviously missed:

"We believe free markets are the most effective way to organize a technological economy." - is what I'm paraphrasing, and the first sentence in that section.

but there's more:

"Markets prevent monopolies and cartels." - provably wrong. Anti-trust regulations are needed to interfere in markets to prevent monopolies and cartels.

"We believe markets are an inherently individualistic way to achieve superior collective outcomes." - see Fire Service for counter-argument

"We believe there is no conflict between capitalist profits and a social welfare system that protects the vulnerable. " - laughably wrong in the face of US healthcare vs everywhere else in the world

"We believe central economic planning elevates the worst of us and drags everyone down; markets exploit the best of us to benefit all of us." - again, Fire Service
