It's quite easy to test this very assumption against chaos theory in a controlled environment and demonstrate why a system involving a complex chain of dependencies is increasingly unpredictable down the chain.

As an uninformed consumer at or the bottom of the chain, you cannot trust that an interface that works today, will work tomorrow, for you do not have access to all of the chaotic variables which constrain the interface.

>Who am I to tell others to pick up a hobby or do something “complex”?

I don't make this assertion as some form of gatekeeping, and I don't expect everyone to have the same values. I don't have the answers, but I want to ask these question, in a Socratic style. Dig down and figure out what makes one "tick". Not quite as philosophical as "what is the meaning of life", but a similar vein of "what gives you* a meaning to live"?

It's a relatively simple question: "If you had 10 million dollars today, what would you do?". If that answer is still just netflix, beer, sex, and games: well, that's your answer. Not what I would have gone with (and I imagine others have other riches or charities or power they'd do), but if they truly just want to live simply even when granted riches, so be it.

The question isn't about some fantasy land, but more to figure out what values and other factors in life they care about. e.g. If you would by a yatch with 10 million, that probably means you would like to explore some water based activities. Maybe not fancy sailing, but rowing or fishing. Just an exercise to think outside the box many are trapped in.

>I just don’t get it when others say “do X, not Y to be happy”, as if happiness is nothing but a subjective state of mind.

Why do I care? I feel like at some point in the plot of life many forgot that they had passions and aspirations about what they wanted to grow up and do. We get bogged down by college grades (if that), by trying to grab a job, by trying to live and make rent, and then by retirement... what's left? you spent 40+ years working without a purpose just to fulfill check-boxes, without filling in the blanks in between the lines. It may be out of place, but living to be some corporation's peasant isn't a way to live.

I simply want people to remember that spark and remind them that they can still work at it, not work to simply get by and pass your life by. If that spark is as simple as netflix, so be it.

> Back when I was a kid, I’ve only seen a poverty and everyone was “simple”, and people still lived and laughed.

in some ways I miss that simplicity. Honestly, part of my goal with those kinds of riches would be to just gather some old friends and hang out for a while. I wasn't a rich kid either, but I remember the days where it didn't take a month's planning to get 4 people together for a 2 hour sunday brunch.

But there's some things money can't buy, and I know most of my friends are too prideful to take a "vacation" off, even if I was perfectly willing to compensate them for it.
You sound unhinged and unaware of history, so you should be aware that nothing you’re saying is new and it’s just as untrue now as it has been for previous generations. People have been talking this same nonsense about how “it’s the corporations, man” despite the steady progress in healthcare for at least the last 60 years. I’m genuinely at a loss for how we can be creating new vaccines at the rate we are and people can simultaneously think such ludicrous things.

My company maintains an out-of-tree kernel module for changed block tracking. It requires a full-time Linux driver developer to keep it compiling and working on new kernels.

Our module is GPL FWIW but I doubt it would be accepted into the kernel tree as it is. We need to have a driver developer on staff anyway to support it so it works out okay for us. But if we ever stop maintaining it, it will bitrot quickly and stop working on new kernels.
I didn't do the calculations, but it sounds like trading hosting cost for GPU cost.

Or you can decode on client side, but what if the client device is not powerful enough? Maybe decode on server or client depending on if the user has better internet connection or GPU...?

But anyway it's not my point at all. My point is that if your "killing feature" to attract existing YouTube users to your platform is "No ads", then, well, good luck to survive financially.

There is a high rate of change because the big frameworks solve the wrong problems, massage over a catastrophic knowledge/skills gap, and do less than what is needed while imposing an unavoidable, yet unnecessary, tremendous cost/size.

If developers could execute with confidence in the browser understanding the compile target, the DOM, we wouldn’t be in this mess. But, most developers are scared shitless of tree models and/or writing any form of original code. That is not a technology problem. It’s a people problem.

Sure I could write a lot of tooling to try and do this sort of basic verification manually in Nix every single time i pin a new package, but at that point why am I using nix over distros that have native support for maintainer level supply chain integrity?

Compare to the Arch model where all official packages must be signed with keys belonging to a reasonably well vetted web of trust.

Developers outside the web of trust that want to contribute yolo unsigned packages to Arch still can, but those must go into AUR where users must opt-in to and manually review each individual untrusted/unsigned package.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing

Nix decided to have the yolo AUR model by default, with no method to elect to use only signed packages, because signing and web of trust are not even supported at all, even optionally.

This is wildly irresponsible given how many people use Nix today.

Nix is two steps forward in deterministic, immutable, and unprivileged package management, and one giant leap backwards in supply chain integrity.

This is why we cannot have nice things.
Indeed, for me GNU/Linux was always a cheap way to have UNIX at home, given that Windows NT POSIX support never was that great.

The first time I actually saw GNU/Linux powering something in production was in 2003, when I joined CERN and they were replacing their use of Solaris, and eventually alongside Fermilabs came up with Scientific Linux in 2004.

Later at Nokia, it took them until 2006 to consider Red-Hat Linux a serious alternative to their HP-UX infrastructure.

Would long tenure at e.g. Meta or Google also be seen as a red flag? I've heard other people say that the opposite (job hopping every 1-2 years) is a red flag.
I’m a PM and this is spot on. The PM is not some sort of authoritarian decision maker that tells the team what to build (like this article seems to say), the PM should be a close ally of the team. He/she will work closely with their team to define the roadmap and prioritise work that will have the biggest impact for customers and the business.

When The PM is doing a great job, it should be so obvious for the engineers what problems they need to solve next and understand why they need to solve it.
I quit my job as Google's Chief Decision Scientist
For me, nothing worked and I lost them. It carved a canyon in my heart. Me and friends spent many months trying different things. What was apparent is that participation is necessary. If they don't want to be helped they basically can't be helped. Some people got basically isolated because they were too forceful. At that point what seemed key for me was to keep trust so I could intervene in the last minute, and so they don't shut you out. Be proactive in the critical time. If you want to intervene, know exactly what you're going to do, who to call, have a plan. I think it might be better to get someone put in a ward than to lose them, even if you're blowing up their life in the process. It was a question I mauled over for days.

If they're planning to leave, I felt that they should consider walking away from the things causing them pain. You can make a living being a surf lifesaver or a forest warden or collecting unemployment. If they're planning to leave, and, as I would speculate, they've tried nothing, maybe you can get them to try some stuff if they can lean on you as a fallback? You may as well quit your work and skydive or hike or travel or do whatever if you're going to end it, and some people have life changing experiences doing those things?

Cognitive behavior therapy is apparently surprisingly effective to engage with people who are interested in changing and recognize there is a problem.

If things are looking desperate maybe something insane and mind altering like microdosing ketamine or LSD or something, as these actually do change people a bit. If there's nothing to be lost, I'd try it.

I don't have any answers or advice. Good luck.

Everything boils down to faith eventually, though. Even trusting the evidence of your senses is a kind of faith.

So the logical error isn't an epistemological error in all cases - you can see it as someone trying to minimize some distance metric they are operating on between Reality As It Is and Reality As I Know It by making a single hop to someone who, it is believed, has already done a lot of work investigating the ground claims.

I don't disagree about unsafe Rust being trickier than people might realize, but "RefCell runtime panics" bring a "new" problem is a bit of a stretch; it's strictly better than UB, which can also crash. Making a situation that used to be "maybe crash, maybe accidentally continue running and make things far wise than crashing" instead "definitely crash" is a reduction of an existing problem rather than a new one.
This post treats the constant stream of "new public intellectuals" as some kind of organic, natural phenomenon. It's not, these people reach the top of your YouTube feed because someone wants them there. There's nothing organic about Eric Weinstein or Lex Fridman.

> I really enjoyed the first half talking about how Apple and Nintendo followed a blue ocean strategy.

Let me fix that for you.

Blue ocean is roughly the idea of inventing new markets. While it might apply to Nintendo, that's really a stretch and I view it as product differentiation in a highly entrenched market where Sony and Microsoft are clear sharks in the water.

If you look at Apple's product and marketing history, blue ocean has not applied in two decades. The iPod was hardly the first MP3 player -- Diamond Rio was already in that space. There were several smartphones in the market before apple shipped iPhone, people were speculating on when for years before it was announced. Smartwatches supported android 2 years before Apple Watch Series 0 shipped. HomePod shipped 5 years after the first Amazon echo. What Apple does is wait for other people to prove out the market, and then produce an expensive high end version. This is an effective strategy that captures a lot of high margin & affluent demand, but it's very clearly a red ocean strategy.

A blue ocean strategy doesn't have to shout "Think Different," your product uniqueness is obvious and usually confusing. A red ocean strategy means focusing on margins, inventory, and balancing product differentiation versus convention. It means keeping your product secret until the big announce and suing competitors who copy you. At one point Tim Cook was calling himself the Atilla the Hun of operations, and was quoted in articles as saying "inventory is the root of all evil."
I’m sure those make for horrible race shoes. I think you missed parent’s point.

It's completely different for introverts like me. I can figure out multivariate calculus or how a git merge works, but I do not have the faintest idea how to start a conversation with someone.

Point taken, but I think your link takes the "top executive" too much in the other direction. Mentioning that the median top executive in the government sector (which would be what, the president? Senate?) being $120k in 2022 makes me think that that title isn't quite what people think of, similar to being a "vice president" of a bank.

to come at a comprimise instead of calling everyone liars over statistics with differing definitions: Salary.com lists a median of $830k. Not quite "retire in 2 years" money, but well past middle class and more than enough to establish your own safety net. My main point doesn't change here.

I'm still in favour of a fixed subscription one pays for a service like YouTube in the range of €5/month, with 95% of the proceeds going to creators. If you do nothing, the money will be doled out equally based on some set of fair (and frequently scrutinized) parameters. If the subscriber wants to, they can allocate a portion of this fee to specific creators, and also remove it from creators the you do not want to support (this might help with clickbait and empty fluff created to work well with specific searches).

It won't happen of course.

I recently had ads show up before videos on YouTube (audio only, so uBlock Origin was blocking part of it), and the only thing I felt was disgust and a mental note never to buy insurance from InShared (a Dutch insurance company) simply for repeating the same stupid jingle for each video.

I merely attempting to reciprocate/mirror your tone. You are the one (self)identifying it as "rude".

I have some idea about what you do and don't know about definition and definability (in general) given the words you've said so far and the way you've used them.

Prospective theorems are not theorems until a proof is presented. At which point they become retrospective theorems.

All that "falsification" and counter-examples prove is that the so-called "proof" of a "theorem" wasn't. If you have indeed provided a counter-example that's a proof of negation which raises questions: what was wrong with the original "proof" of the theorem? Since proofs are programs - there must have been a bug in the proof. Better type-check that proof/program...

The presence of a counter-example to Sean Hunter's "theorem" simply demonstrates that it's not a theorem. It's a misnomer. Theorems are exactly those Mathematical stataments for which no proof of negation exists.

You seem to be presupposing some particular kind of mathematics. I am talking about all possible Mathematics in general; of which the particular Mathematics you are currently using is just one particular instance. A historical and cultural coincidence.

There's a Mathematical paradigm in which proof-by-contradiction is a valid proof method e.g mathematics founded upon classical logic.

And there's a Mathematical paradigm in which proof-by-contradiction is not a valid proof method e.g mathematics founded upon intuitionistic logic. This is basically what we call Computer Science. It has fewer axioms than Classical Mathematics (e.g the axiom of choice is severely restricted) and so it's a much stronger proof-system. You could even say Intuitionistic Mathematics (which is basically CS) is "more foundational" (it is much closer to the foundations?) than Mathematics.

The fact that you are admitting proof-by-contradiction in your methodology tells me about your choice of foundations, but so what? There's a foundation which axiomatically pre-supposes choice; and a foundation which doesn't.

And in the foundations where choice is not axiomatic "proof" by contradiction is not a valid proof.

The reasoning goes something like this:

1. Choice implies excluded middle.
2. Excluded middle implies all proposition are either true or false.
3. Excluded middle implies that proof by contradiction is valid.

Rejecting 1 results in the rejection of 2 and 3 also.

We are vulnerable to this attack strategy in books as well. The author can lull you in with a compelling concept, but you can soon realize they weren’t able to extrapolate their thesis beyond one chapter (if that).

It’s probably the most mature moment I had as a reader, to be able to look at any book and be comfortable judging the pacing/vibe of it with regard to me. If a book isn’t vibing with you (you feel like the author is forcing a hot take), then don’t read the book. It’s no different than a date, if the person creeps you out, bounce.

It is actually quite well optimised. It is one of the best looking video games ever made.

Maxing everything means enabling path tracing which is a massive performance hit. Basically to do that you need a 4090 or a cheaper 40xx card and use frame generation.

The “PS5/Series X equivalent” settings are a mixture of low/medium without any hardware ray tracing (I think it still does some software ray tracing similar to UE5 Lumen) using FSR2 with post processing effects done before the upscaling (low resolution). On PC if you use high post processing effects they happen after the upscaling and thus at much higher resolution (this is the “heaviest” option outside of the ray tracing stuff)

Remedy hasn’t made a game that targets “native” resolution since Max Payne 2. Basically starting with the first Alan Wake game they have used lower internal resolutions and used the budget for other graphical effects. (On PC you still always had the option to use native resolution)

If you love your job, you wouldn't want to go anywhere else or "progress" in your career. BTW, what is that "progress" in a career? Endless better pay? Longer job title? More work? More difficult work? Switch to management (that's a different career to me)?

The example is not relevant. That's not a dead-end job. If there's no work, then that's no longer a job at all.
Ads work whether you like them or not. If you see an ad for a toaster from brand ToastX that annoys you and no other toaster ads then you are more likely to buy ToastX brand when you are shopping for a toaster.

People do not remember the ads when they go shopping. Instead our brain goes "I've seen this brand before". (Obviously a positive emotion works better)

This insidiousness.and manipulation is a good reason to block them as much as possible.

And maybe the recognition of manipulation might strengthen our mental resistance and increase consideration when shopping for things. Almost all people including myself don't bother!
