> The overwhelming majority of things that actually happen in your life could be solved by a close network of 100 or fewer family members and neighbors who helped each other out.

Housing and healthcare should be human rights, available to everyone, backed by the government, without being dependent on their family or their "near community".

Imagine you're gay or trans, you live in a rural area and your family is Evangelical Christian. In a country with a strong government, you can be assured that you'll be taken care of with your basic needs. In a country that follows your ideals, you better do your best to conform to societal pressure, get a trophy wife and hide who you truly are all your life.

Which environment sounds better to you? To me the answer is clear: the one with a strong government that guarantees everyone's right to live like they wish.
Keep scrolling past the main list. There is an additional list of six "Warning Schools":

> The following schools have policies that clearly and consistently state that it prioritizes other values over a commitment to freedom of speech. These colleges were excluded from the rankings and were scored relative to one another.

They all have much less free speech than any school on the main list.
Specialization is like putting everything on one number in roulette. It's great if you win (i.e. your specialty is in demand), but you're more likely to lose everything you invested.
So, you are European, and you hire a dev who is clearly not contributing or pulling their weight. Maybe they lied about their experience on their resume. It doesn't matter. What do you do? Just let him coast forever, collecting a paycheck while wasting company resources and dragging the team down?
Well AT&T and Warner/Discovery own the show, so one significant difference is it's a joke about just their company that they can determine if they're okay with or not, and don't have to worry about losing anything due to external third party retaliation.

Whereas with a topic about China, that's a whole government that has a history of not being able to take a joke, and will likely retaliate and cost Apple a significant amount of money.

Not saying it's good or right, though. John Oliver also had a whole show about China and their treatment of Uighurs, though, so that seems to be a more direct comparison. That aired back in 2020 and his show hasn't been cancelled yet.

The only a reason a bank as a building even needs to exist is because cash is a thing.

With electronic databases keeping track of funds and movement of funds, the banks’ purpose is reduced to being a lender, which requires much, much less infrastructure.

If we had a constitutional right to an electronic funds account with an inalienable right to receive and send money, there would be zero need for banks. Their remaining purpose would be to be an underwriter or lender, at which point you would just describe them as an underwriter or lender instead of a bank.
Looks like the most recent youtube video was 3 years ago, and the most recent twitch stream was 2 years ago. Anyone know the actual current status of this?
- "and perhaps will never find"

That's cynical. All it takes is a bit of political change, and a national government could make an initiative to scan everything in every public library in their borders, straight to LibGen. As a national prestige project. Like the US Library of Congress, or that import customs policy the Library of Alexandria had.

I think will happen one day. It's common-sense philanthropy for human civilization. We're just temporarily stuck in a dark age.
Just to think you guys could have both moved out of shitty homeless-adjacent apartments into the inner suburbs and really saved some u-haul bills. No need to drive across Utah.
Those businesses that still take cash often have to go to the bank once a day, especially if they don’t have a safe. So I can see the branches existing for that reason alone.
Its also a little perverse how the solution is never “hey this estimate is too long, lets hire more staff so we can do the job well and finish on time.” Its always about squeezing more blood from the stone, burning out your employees and increasing your turnover rate.
Does it have the same music? That was my favorite part of the original game. You could even put the second cd in a regular stereo and play it. The Fat Man has re-released it and music from the sequel:

The game also cost $99 which was super expensive at the time.
You are looking at it from an American viewpoint.

It's not a Linux feature. It's an X11 feature that is super intuitive if you've been using it for 30 years. Wayland tried to remove it but it has been begrudgingly allowed because of it's incredible usefulness since it cuts out all keyboard interaction.

A few years ago, after being unable to configure OS-X for highlight-copy and middle-click-paste, I turned in the brand new MacBook and requested a simple laptop to install Debian and KDE on.

It's kind of crazy that Twitch hasn't improved the video quality since... possibly ever? Didn't they have a 6 Mbps limit back in 2013-2015 too? Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure Twitch has, technically, improved at all since then, other than stability.

Even hitbox.tv, back when they tried to enter the fray, had live rewind, for instance.
They're doing layoffs still across the board.

You can use one protocol for the broadcaster to stream to the provider (Twitch).
You can use the same protocol, or a different one, to deliver video to viewers.

If you use HLS to deliver video to viewers, you can cache segments in a CDN. Your CDN. Someone else's CDN. You'll add some latency, but your bill will be lower.
I am highly sceptical about anything crypto related, I am wondering if this is another method to gain legitimacy. As with anything however, results are the only thing that matter..though, I worry about maintaining standards of scientific conduct, preventing unethical behaviours, or misappropriation of funding. Regulatory action needs to catch up without being stifling, I guess.
Rules that prescribe particular materials or levels or methods of upkeep that are significantly more expensive to implement or maintain than others, or that clash with one's culturally-based desires. A common one is a prohibition against small farm animals or front food gardens. Another is part of a hustle where a required exterior finish is only available from a privileged provider or contractor, similar to how apartment buildings limit your choice of ISP.

Failing to adhere to HOA rules (which may not be readily apparent) results in fines and conflict with a group that's empowered to make decisions about your property. When homeowners have these decisions taken away and are forced to shell out, it becomes a financial and psychological strain that prompts people who would otherwise be enjoying the property to leave (or to not purchase it in the first place).
This is in fact my most favourite feature. Having a selection and a clipboard just feels like second nature to me and lets me copy selected text around without having to destroy the clipboard contents.

Apple didn't lock up an category. Apple locked up their specific panels, which happen to be the only panels in a category. Any other major manufacturer is free to order similarly sized and specs panels - they'll just need to be ready to pay for it.

I do wonder how much of this is driven by high performance requirements. If you go non high dpi, and 60Hz, do your options open up?
The Tensor G1 was probably pretty close to that, but I think subsequent generations have been diverging more. They are still made at Samsung's fabs, and I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung is still helping to design the chips.

Either way, I haven't seen anything to be impressed by when it comes to the Tensor SoCs themselves. The performance is lackluster, and in spite of Google's marketing, the AI acceleration isn't clearly better than what Qualcomm or Apple are offering.
While I agree with you that programmers increasingly relying on LLMs would be (is?) a problem, there is an element of neo-Luddism to this, as was excellently framed by xkcd[1] some years ago. Could we not choose to fill all that time we used to spend writing code on testing/verification instead? Or on performance, or documentation, or security? Or, to go back to the premise of the blog, on re-educating ourselves in the tools we use every day but don't actually understand? I don't know how the industry will adapt and I won't bother making predictions, but the future doesn't necessarily involve everyone becoming mindless code monkeys.

I think this might be one reason why pair programming can be difficult at times. I’ve personally found success in pair programming, but it usually came after adopting an attitude of moving past the stuff we know and trying a more free, humble approach.

This isn’t the best way to put it, but for lack of better words just starting with the mentality of admitting that it’s ok not to know what to do next and that we’re here to solve it really helps fight the kind of bias the article talks about.

It’s when you get to the point that you’re comfortable just reasoning aloud that the beauty of pair programming comes to light. Silly mistakes happen constantly but they’re caught right away and you move on so quickly in your shared state of excitement that a lot of the inhibition just goes out the window.

Mileage varies though, as not everyone gets the same benefits that I described.
A candid interview with the man himself on 2001: A Space Odyssey, with a nice historical preface about Kubrick's career, to boot.
One thing I find interesting about the software industry is our lack of descriptive job titles.

At big companies you have SWE L1, L2, L3, senior, staff, principal, etc. You also have SRE and maybe some devops or architect roles.

Smaller companies you have lots of people generic “engineer” titles or “full stack engineers”, etc.

Why don’t we encode people’s specialties in their titles if most engineers are working on narrow sections of software?

E.g. “React & Node Developer” instead of “Full stack engineer” … etc

I suppose the easiest rationale is generic titles allow for easier mobility between disciplines.

If I understood it correctly, the snippet in TFA injects a return as well, so by the time you give the second look, the commands had already been executed.

In a following snippet, the terminal scrolls 100 lines and prints no prompt, so a user is tempted to press Enter just to check what's going on. You can count this as a form of phishing, if you want.

The IPCC's reports might be a good starting-point.

["Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change"](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-g... ) appears to be the most recent specifically on mitigating climate-change.

From [this PDF's page-117](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6... ):

> Net zero CO2 industrial-sector emissions are possible but challenging (high confidence). Energy efficiency will continue to be important. Reduced materials demand, material efficiency, and circular economy solutions can reduce the need for primary production. Primary production options include switching to new processes that use low-to-zero GHG energy carriers and feedstocks (e.g., electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, and carbon dioxide capture and utilisation (CCU) to provide carbon feedstocks). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be required to mitigate remaining CO2 emissions {11.3}. These options require substantial scaling up of electricity, hydrogen, recycling, CO2, and other infrastructure, as well as phase-out or conversion of existing industrial plants. While improvements in the GHG intensities of major basic materials have nearly stagnated over the last 30 years, analysis of historical technology shifts and newly available technologies indicate these intensities can be significantly reduced by mid-century. {11.2, 11.3, 11.4}

Implementing (part of) a BitTorrent client in Rust [video]
At first, Andreesen is strategically vague such that 'we' may refer all his readers, or even all who'd be considered members of "our civilization".

But upon starting to speak of the label teased in the title, 'Techno-Optimists', he shifts to using 'we' to describe that group, via progressive definition with each successive "we".

The shift from "potentially everybody" to "those defined by this creed" invites the reader to consider: "am I part of this 'we'?"

What other possibilities for what 'we' means do you see in the text?
"The twin boom": In the future, will everyone have a twin?
In addition to the other excellent comment here:

I think it's largely that they discovered the real money is in B2B. And once you go down that route, all you care about is checking feature-boxes, not whether anyone actually uses it willingly.

Pretty much every company that does that starts hemorrhaging users at some point. And there's not really any going back either, because they definitely won't shut down features to improve the core.
The same thing happens with normal ctrl c + ctrl v. One of the oddities of the Linux desktop of X and Wayland is that for some reason the display server is also in charge of letting people use the clipboard instead of it being done by a dedicated clipboard service.

Strongly recommend trying [limu](https://github.com/tnfe/limu)，it is now the fastest immutable data js lib，and it is also production environment available.

//You can verify through the following tests, and you are also welcome to add more performance test cases
```bash
git checkout https://github.com/tnfe/limu.git
cd benchmark
npm i
## Then execute the following commands separately
npm run s1
npm run s2
npm run s3
npm run s4

It would be nice if EV batteries were standardised and modularised enough that one could just swap out the battery for a charged one at a gas/charging station in a couple minutes.
My Tilix/zsh combination just pastes the content as a multi-line entry to the terminal. If the clipboard contains control codes (e.g. arrow up) they are entered verbatim (as if I had used the quoting function ^V to enter them).

So I suppose we're not very far from this not being a problem in general.

Though I understand this also works via control codes. I hope Tilix is smart enough to filter them out from the clipboard before doing this..

edit: I tested that case out, and it works. I suppose the protocol uses quoting.

Using the engine analogy, a plane is a better example than a car. Especially as the mental picture of not surviving a crash is more vivid.

Would you rather fly on a plane that has been used daily for the same flight for the past 10 years? Or fly on a plane that’s either never flown, just got out of the shop, or hasn’t been flown in years?
To repeat a point I posted yesterday, it is true that libraries around the world are seeing themselves as community centers, to the point where new prestige central libraries like Helsinki’s Oodi have few actual books, but have signs hung up saying people are invited to just talk and hangout. But since the linked article is about the US specifically, I think the odds are stacked against libraries continuing to fulfill that role, since the US has had such a strong dislike of “loitering” for over a century now, and it has a homeless problem that library staff – not being state officials or social workers – are unable to solve themselves. Just look at some of the comments here in this thread for how quick Americans are to associate public libraries with the smelly homeless.
It's probably limited because the cost of delivering video to SK through the undersea cables to Japan is quite high.

True. It's becoming a lost art. Although, I think anyone who takes a CS program probably learns enough about CPUs in a Computer Organization or Computer Architecture course. Even if they never have to use that knowledge ever again. :)

On the other hand I agree that people who take the non-CS route may not be that intimately familiar with all the details.
ffs middle click paste is the only reason to use the mouse
Yeah, thanks. I get all that; avoid if possible any proprietary languange constructs.Try to tune the query and the schema so that no sane optimizer would do the wrong thing.

But the last time I tangled with Oracle, I was working for a bank; schema changes took months to approve, and the DBAs were GHODZ. And there was no chance of the bank changing suppliers anytime soon. And anyway, EVERYTHING was proprietary. They had their own proprietary stored-procedure language, and it wasn't dispensable - I believe people bought Oracle because of their stored procedure setup.

To be clear, I'm not in any sense advocating hinted SQL!
Speaking of failures traceable to levels of abstraction.

"The hacking was rather discrete and would most likely never had be discovered where it not ..." should be "The hacking was rather discreet and would most likely never been discovered were it not ...".

The abstraction at fault here? Spell checkers. It's not enough to know how to look for the squiggly red lines under words, it's necessary to know what words mean. As Jerrold H Zar put it:

Eye halve a spelling check her,
It came with my pea sea.

>>Deliberating in person isn't superior to online. According to research by Simon Lam and John Schaubroeck, virtual teams are more likely to overcome the common-knowledge effect compared to face-to-face teams, perhaps due to easier access to notes and materials.

That was an interesting observation, although the study didn't mention that another confounder could have been non-verbal communication often being much more suggestive/stronger (both to reinforce or suppress influence) in-person.
No idea, but if it was available back then, we’d have been looking for whether you are critical about what it tells you and how you verified it was correct. That was a main idea behind the interview.

> A few guys in my cycling group who are still on rim brakes will not take the really fun descents, even when it's completely dry. They don't trust them. Pad fade, overheating brake surfaces causing de-lamination and popping inner tubes.

That's a silly argument. The people crushing it on a downhill aren't using their brakes. I road/raced on rim brakes for decades and brakes were my least concern.
I’m not sure if these are real examples. If they are tho, then it might be using agents that do have that ability.

I think the larger point of the article is to show the user what an agents are doing in a visually understandable way.
Eureka! Nvidia Research Breakthrough Puts New Spin on Robot Learning
From the paper, https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.12931

"In addition, by examining the average correlation by task (App. E), we observe that the harder the task is, the less correlated the EUREKA rewards. We hypothesize that human rewards are less likely to be near optimal for difficult tasks, leaving more room for EUREKA rewards to be different and better. In a few cases, EUREKA rewards are even negatively correlated with human rewards but perform significantly better, demonstrating that EUREKA can discover novel reward design principles that may run counter to human intuition"
