> And lets be honest most actual genocides are committed by smart(often very moral) people acting on irrational fears or dreams of an utopian future that can only happen after the world is purified of some specific evil.

People who commit genocide to try to establish a utopia are not moral. They may be "moral" - that is, they may claim adherence to a moral standard, and be able to articulate it and defend it - but they aren't moral. In D&D terms, they're lawful evil. But they think they're lawful good, because they are following their moral code. They never stop to think that, if their moral code calls for killing all these people, maybe they should be questioning their moral code.
This is where theory and practice collide. In theory, society should pay parents. In practice, paying parents results in incentivizing the people you do not want being parents into having more kids.

What society really wants is to incentivize good parents to have kids, but that is nowhere near possible to measure and implement.
Great quote, I bet it was very true in 1989 (34 years ago!)

I would say someone like David Goggins probably fits the bill. Some people find his level of drive inspirational, I find it deranged. Ultimately I suppose the outcomes are good. Great health (probably) and a great fitness influencer brand, but the desire for suffering that fuels it all and the incredible levels of self criticism and even hatred involved, make it seem far more like some kind of fitness anorexia than self care.

I think it would be reasonable to class his mode of being as that of individual growth mindset.
On my machine (Miele) the door automatically opens on a hinge for the last 20 minutes of a normal program to let the dishes dry. I have no idea what the eco program does. Afaict it just seems to pauze at random during the cycles, doubling the program time. I never measured the agregate energy use, i doubt much savings can be made on water use as that is extremely low to begin with.

It would be cool to have a Patreon-like system for math proofs. But to reward solvers appropriately and at scale, the award conditions and evaluation would have to be very formalized and specific.

This seems to be one potential, actually useful application of blockchains which support general purpose computing - if you can port a proof verifier onto them, you give anyone the ability to commit to (and claim) proof bounties.

Now, precisely formalizing specific conjectures and ensuring the proof system is expressive enough but doesn't allow for the introduction of any new assumptions is another problem...
There's an interesting cultural element to this, and I think Brother being a Japanese company is not a coincidence. I see the same mindset applied widely here in the German Mittelstand.

The American growth at all costs mindset (particularly quarterly) is excellent during the technology exploration phase. It spurs radical innovation, but as a technology matures it becomes impossible to meet growth expectations. In response to this the spiral of Enshittification kicks off and eventually the company and it's products fade into irrelevance. Stability in such an environment is impossible (the gain knob is cranked to the max).

The German Mittelstand are different, typically they are much slower to innovate during the technology exploration phase (I think mostly due to the German economy not really rewarding early stage innovation). However as a technology matures the Mittelstand's strength in stable, gradual evolution and refinement really shines. They focus on being the best in their niche and grow by expanding to new markets, opening adjacent product lines etc. Enshittification is the last thing on their minds (the system is critically/over damped).
The beautiful thing about art vs. science is that you get to be arbitrary if you like... The main reason there is a separate category for fancy hammers is that I needed a page in the book to rant about how stupid it is to put a titanium head on a hammer. (Every square in the poster represents a 2-page spread in my Tools book.)

Concrete tools are missing because I just don't do a lot of concrete work. Had I finished the book about a year later I might have put some in, because earlier this year I built a new studio that involved pouring a 3600sq ft slab with the help of my concrete foreman friend and his buddies. So messy! I don't like to write about categories of tools I have little or no experience with, so other things crowded out concrete and masonry tools, other than carbide drills and diamond saws (which are fascinating because of the steel/stone hardness ratio that determines which model blade you want, as described in the book).
It's problem solving (i.e. finding a proof of a statement or finding one or more mathematical objects that have some given properties and proving they have them and possibly that no other objects do), not computation.

Didn't people ask that back in ~2000, "how soon before offshore employees take our jobs?". The devil is in the details. Can AI solve a linker error and fix a visual studio project file? Sure, if you train it with a million samples. I think the reason AI won't work for anything more than wireframe is that there are too many edge cases to adequately train it.

It hasn't been bad so far, similar regulations have been around since 1938 and updated in 74; Sweden punches way above its size in economic output, the country's labour market was built on this foundation and it's worked pretty damn well.

I think Sweden will be absolutely fine if Tesla packs up and leaves, it's not like the market disappears because they left, there's just more space for competitors to take over Tesla's marketshare.

> This is very well covered in the book about Boeing - Flying Blind. A bunch of Jack Welch mentees did the same trick, selling the company for parts and buying back the stock - until there was nothing left to sell. It was very "profitable" for a while, though!

Ooh nice, TIL and thanks! I really liked "Lights Out: Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric" about the failure of GE and was looking for something similar.

On the topic of buybacks and dividends, it's part of the short term quarter-oriented thinking. Spinning off subdivisions and doing stock buybacks and dividends are very popular and look good on the balance sheet in the short term... but if you think about a quarter or two ahead, it's crippling. But it doesn't matter, stock go up, bonus go up, everyone happy for now, kicking the can down the road until it's someone else's problem.
But they aren't. Also unions can't push these sympathy strikes too far, by doing targeted denial of government services they are really making it easy for the current right wing government in Sweden to add regulations to prevent unions from denying government services via sympathy strikes in the future. There are already such laws for healthcare etc.
Thanks for the statistics, that's interesting. It can also be misleading, from what I could find, less than 10% of traffic deaths occur on motorways vs. rural/city roads and motorway deaths have actually been decreasing in France steadily since 1990 (this is only from a quick Google search).

Edit: According to the OECD itf (random source I found on the internet ;)) Germany had 317 deaths on motorways vs 201 in France in 2022.

Commercial passenger plane speeds are not dictated by regulations. They fly in the most economical way for the company. Private planes fly as fast as they need to. Airplane speeds are only dictated by ATC when you're on approach or departure to maintain separation in a busy area or for noise abatement regulations.

Buses will not do 200kmh not because nobody can build a really fast bus, but because it will not be great for passengers to go from 200 to 50 really fast :) Basically same as with planes, passenger confort is the priority.

Anyway, if you would read up on Autobahn death statistics, very few deaths are related to over speeding.
> If you think about it the growth mindset is quite psychotic.

But it's absolutely crucial to VC funded businesses. Current VC groupthink isn't "how can we create businesses that deliver value", it's "how can we create businesses that we can convince other investors to see as valuable before we cash out and move on?"

That's why we have things like "increasing headcount" as a goal, because increasing the number of people a business employs increases its perceived value. It doesn't matter if it destroys team dynamics, increases the burn rate, etc. It's a tool used to make a company seem more valuable before the VCs exit.

Our 7 year old brother laser printer finally got its first cartridge replacement last year :) We don't print much, but that's the point, we just leave it sitting there, and when we want to print, it prints. Never had a problem with it in 7 years!
He’s said it’s easy to generate this kind of questions that trick LLMs because of the lack of physical grounding in models trained solely on text.

And that’s true now as ever. I also heard him say that training multimodal models on text+image/video would mitigate the grounding issue, and that’s proven to be true too.

So I’m not sure exactly what your objection is.
That distinction seems really obvious now that you said it. Thank you.

Judging from this thread it sounds like most people think I'm an idiot, and/or didn't even try to organize the tools.... Perhaps my organizational principles are just too subtle.

What really surprised me, and speaks to the lack of a periodic table tooling configuration community, is that the domain periodictableoftools.com was unclaimed even late last year, well over 20 years into the era when someone surely would have thought of wanting it.

They are engaging lawyers and engaging with some of Sweden's most popular and powerful NGO's that's not doing nothing that's actively throwing money into a fight that's both hard to win and where the worst outcome might actually be for Tesla to "win".

Again the "laizes faire" no labor protections of America just don't exist in Europe the question is weather you negotiate with an equal partner made up from your own employee's or have the state bureaucracy micromanage local details.

As the parent of a young adult currently half way through their maths undergrad, this kind of fills me with foreboding.

There are only so many A3+ sized photoprinters on the market. Decent ones that is that don't suck at B/W printing. It, for me at least, came down to either the ET-8550 or the Canon Pro-200. Break-even was somewhere around 300 a4 photos, based on retail price for the printer. So initially, I was inclined to take the Canon one.

Then I got a decent deal on a ET-8550, and the peace of mind to not re-run ink costs everytike you print, plus the Epsons home office printer functions, closed that decision. And the Epson print quality is really good, even B/W, so far, with the right media setting and paper, no colour tints whatsoever (at least that I can see).
Does anyone know if there are Brother printers\MFPs that can scan directly to email? I don't want the scan to go through some local computer software.

I have to use HP MFPs because their scan-to-email is actually decent and can do authenticated SMTP sign-ins but I hate dealing with HP and their shitty toner practices.
The risk of posting on HN is having your rhetorical flourish taken literally, deconstructed, and criticized in excruciating detail: QED.
How does it do the blur detection? I assume it's also just a convolutional kernel applied on the image in some way. So it would do just exactly the same as a tiny neural network with one convolutional layer. Thus, they would be exactly the same speed, if they would use the same underlying native kernels. However, the native kernels in TF/PyTorch/etc are more heavily optimized than OpenCV, thus I assume that OpenCV would actually be slower here. And also more complicated, as you need to mix two big frameworks.
Trick of the trade - either keep a former employee’s email active or just forward all emails to their address to something searchable. Especially if they are an older exec that was terminated, because they will fuck stuff up all the time with their boomer butter fingers. You will get CCs on all sorts of email chains which will help you in future litigation and termination issues.
While OpenCV was born at Intel, I don't think it's solely developed by Intel anymore, there's now a non-profit organization in charge of the project:

Even the significantly smaller capacitance of some kind of CMOS input will appear as short for some amount of time. In combination with the series termination this will low-pass filter the signal, which is (maybe somewhat counterintuitively) often desirable for high-speed logic (it reduces EMC issues and the effect of excessive power consumption due to reduced slew rate is mostly limited to the first input buffer on chip, which cleans the edges for subsequent circuitry. Within reason, obviously).

When driving some kind of power MOSFET you want it to switch as fast as possible because of the power loss in the linear region.

Note that Intels 5-level paging uses 57 bit addresses, so on these processors, you can only safely assume the top 7 bits are unused. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_5-level_paging

I also believe that when masking the bits off before loads/stores, you need to set them to the same value of the highest used bit (bit 47 or bit 56), while this often is 0, it’s not necessarily the case. Something to be aware of.

Finally, when using C++, you gotta be careful of strict aliasing. In C++20 you can use std::bit_cast https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/bit_cast
Rust strings enforce utf-8 encoding, yes. However, it seems Windows (which uses utf-16) allows ill-formed UTF-16, in particular it tolerates unpaired surrogates.

I had some friends/peers go through a period of micro dosing. They had similar beliefs about increased learning based on similar theories of neuroplasticity, fueled by trendy podcasters and influencers.

As an outside observer, I got to a point where I could usually tell which days they were microdosing. The biggest tell was that their self confidence went up significantly. They would consider routine accomplishments to be great achievements. They would have an increased sense of wonder after even basic realizations. If anything, their actual problem solving abilities were diminished or at least slowed on those days.

All but one of them eventually discontinued it, realizing that it was doing more to distort their perceptions than actually improving themselves. One has unfortunately continued with increasing doses over the years to try to chase the early feelings. He’s reaching a point of delusions of grandeur and he’s accumulating a lot of weird pseudo-religious ideas and theories. It’s very concerning.

I have no doubt that micro dosing changes how people feel about their own performance after watching this play out over several years, but I’m far from convinced that it actually has a direct effect on improving learning in the ways the influencers are claiming. I could see how altering self-perceptions could improve confidence enough to make someone perform differently, but I have some serious doubts about the drug actually improving cognition or learning.

We decided for OpenCV (on a project that provided vision to a production line, think 50 images per second). The speed and computational cost advantage weighed in favour of OpenCV. I don't think this has changed so much in the last couple of years.

I think your phrasing is wrong, 'growth mindset' is the idea that you can improve yourself with effort, education, etc, instead of just 'I'm inherently bad at maths' or whatever.

What you are referring to is simply Capitalism.

Capitalism is where 'capital', aka money, ultimately, owns the 'means of production'. And it also innovates, and creates the means of production, by deploying money to uncertain ventures; building a new factory or whatever.

The problem is that deployed capital needs to earn a return, else why bother. In other words, everything needs to grow. The system just doesn't work without growth.

'Growth' can be, people doing more things, or, more people doing things, or, making more money from the things people do (though I'm not sure that's actual growth). We've come a long way in the last century with the first two, and now the focus seems to be on that third option.

IMHO the current system is past, or at least fast approaching, it's expiry date, and we really should have researched, and have at least a vague idea of a plausible future replacement, by now, otherwise we might be doomed to recycle the 20th C.
