What you say is true, modern history relies on verifiable facts like documents, artefacts, etc. But there of always a narrative involved, which to a smaller or larger degree is based off human values and as such lack the objectivity of the falsifiable physical science hypothesis. This seems to me to be a source of a gnawing sense of insecurity among (many) scholars in the humanities - but it shouldn't. They should simply recognize this situation as a fact, and declare their assumptions (even the physical sciences could benefit from this many times).

the choice of a "quarantine model" vs cruelty is orthogonal to the question of free-will vs determinism. A cruel extermination model is just as rational of a response to bad actors with no choice.

The difference is not made by understanding of choice, but the values held by the one with power.
I don’t want an EV.

EV’s will never be a viable option until they are better in every facet than a combustion engine.

The charging is cumbersome and much longer than filling a gas tank, hard pass.

I would buy a combustion engine car, even if it was more expensive, for this reason alone.
They are developing these fuels for Formula1 and the like. Probably won't see them in road vehicles due to cost. But never know. It's likely normal fuels in hybrids or pure electric vehicles will be better (cheaper and lower carbon). For trains overhead electrification would be better.

I'm not sure the fuel itself is that low carbon but the cycle of producing it may be. I'm sure a quick search would reveal they produce slightly less CO2 or something in a suitable engine.

The Hacker News mic drop strikes again. I have nothing super substantive to add except to agree with your point and add that yes, it feels like work to put in the formal policies and procedures, but when the stakes are high enough (rocket to mars? its high enough), even the work that doesn't intuitively feel 'worth it' to someone is DEFINITELY worth it.

"It's a waste of time" is very often a fallacy, especially when the risk cannot be easily undone.

I (mostly mentally) complete the phrase "It's a waste of time" with "what's the worst that could happen?", and when I'm actually saying the phrase out loud, stare at whoever said that for 5 full seconds.
> These are not my definitions.

Great! In what way do you think those dictionary definitions support your point of view?

> Where you got stuck was in describing passive aggressive behavior as being motivated by laziness

No, that was merely an example. I'm not stuck, though I think you are when you claim that only by powerlessness or cowardice can passive-aggressivity be motivated. I didn't claim laziness was the only motivation!

> It's a rationalization

This explains nothing.

> People do so in environments where they are powerless or cowardly.

That's your opinion, which you've so far failed to support. Actually, what you failed to support is that those are the ONLY environments in which people behave in passive-aggressive ways; I don't disagree they are possible motivations (before, I gave you an "out" which you didn't take, so now you're locked in a hard to justify position of "it's the ONLY motivation" -- in a sense you're truly "stuck"!).
Human history would certainly have been different if the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs hadn't free-will'd itself into an extinction event I guess.

> Right. And let's not forget that any such 100-line program would not be—in any meaningful sense—written by anybody,

Its perfectly meaningful. If I'm hiring a programmer I know that the mindstate of the one who did the physical action of typing that program is arranged such that they can write useful code for me. Whether that is the result of free will or a chain of causality leading back to the big bang doesn't matter.
Nobody is going to opt in to having their data used for advertising in exchange for nothing at all. It will eventually be held that it's abusive to even give people that option. So the obvious solution would be to take away the option entirely and give Europeans the option to have a paid account with no ads/tracking or to be locked out of the site. Of course, the EU could just whine about how Americans get Facebook for "free" but Europeans don't.

If the EU really wants to ban ad-supported sites, they should just come out and do it.

The issue with that is that it probably produces generic-looking games, since the AI can't read your mind. See ChatGPT or SD for example, if you just say "write me a story about Zelda but funnier" it will do it, but it's the blandest possible story. To truly make it good requires a lot of human intention and direction (i.e. soul), typically drawn from our own human experiences and emotions.
Heh, that sounds _exactly_ like my feed as well. There also is a calendar of dogs pooping that I've gotten about a hundred times. Seeking Arrangements also showing me tons of ads despite the fact that I make it no secret that I'm happily married on twitter, which is funny too.

Design twitter is still very hot which is why I recently rejoined, to connect with more folks in my industry. But the ads(and bots) definitely seem like a much worse problem than when I had an account in 2016.
Actually neither. The best car is the one that you can actually buy. That requires manufacturing, logistics and supplies. The likes of Toyota have barely begun the process of getting organized there. Even if they had an amazing EV product (which so far they don't), they'd struggle to sell a lot of them because they simply don't have factories, battery supplies, etc. in place that they would need for that. And at the scale they operate anything that doesn't sell in the millions of units is not worth doing. Getting from zero to there will take them quite a bit of time and money.

Which is why the winners in this market so far are Chinese and Korean manufacturers. And Tesla. Unlike other manufacturers they have manufacturing dialed in and a robust supply line with batteries and other things they need. Their main challenges are keeping up with demand and keeping cost low while growing manufacturing capacity.

The pace at which this market is growing means that it is getting harder for the likes of Toyota to break into this market. The few EVs they have on the market are actually not made by them and also a bit underwhelming. For example the bZ4X is actually a BYD car with a Toyota logo. That might be their future: leave the manufacturing to specialized companies and simply milk the brand. They seem to still insist they'll have their own drive trains and supposedly amazing batteries. But so far there's little sign of them building factories for those. Maybe that will work for them.

> Basically you're seeing the failing side of the bimodal distribution of this pattern.

Hum, kinda, but infinite-growth management doesn't get a bimodal distribution. They get a corporate version of the Peter principle, where the loans increase in value until the company can't grow enough to pay them.

You don't even get a distribution in final outcomes, just in lifetime. And since the growth is exponential, there isn't a lot of variance on it either.

Closed loop control of brushless motors is just more complex, in addition to needing 3 phase AC output, you also need either hall sensors or an encoder of some kind to be able to start the motor smoothly, and you need a dedicated IC or MCU for each motor to manage commutation and read the sensors.

I don't think FOC type controllers were anywhere near common back then either, which is needed to run a brushless motor smoothly.

There is just so much more that can go wrong with a brushless setup, vs brushed where you just apply power and that's it.
> in fact if you're being rational,

Rationality implies free will. I am a clockwork robot, and even if the cogs and gearsprings mechanically approximate rationality, it is really only the affectation of such. For irrationality would also just be obeying the same mechanical pathways encoded in my brain, thus neither is superior, or preferable. I can't even really have preferences, in a meaningful sense.

Also, the encoding of my personality is quite strong, and easily able to ignore the absurd snickerings of your arguments, so you won't win and change my mind, or enough minds of others to make it the dominant paradigm.

Punishment for wickedness remains. You lose.

> Is the "safety and curation" of the Play Store (or Apple App Store) worth 30% more to you?

Yes, because as you said, there are knock-on effects.

With a first-party app store, I know I can easily cancel subscriptions, and from a single place; that the payment option isn’t going to be some no-name payment processor or that I’m not going to told it was one price on the screen and then charged another price in the backend; that at least one third party has done at least some minimum level of verification that it’s not malicious; that it isn’t circumventing privacy controls; that app updates occur in one place instead of having to individually launch and update each app (e.g., Sparkle); that, while app review has non-trivial flaws, it does catch certain kinds and amounts of crapplications, and tends to have a second-order consequence of improving platform consistency.

So while I may pay more and/or the developer might earn less, installing apps the old-fashioned way carries way more risk. The days of implicit trust that someone random Joe’s apps will behave themselves and act like good platform citizens are over.

SMuFL is a font layout specification. It solves the longtime problem of "I'm making a music font. Which Unicode code glyph should I use for a treble clef?" For many years, this was a Wild West situation, and it wasn't possible to swap music fonts because they defined their glyphs in inconsistent ways. This problem is basically solved now, thanks to SMuFL.

MNX is a way of encoding the music itself. It solves the problem of "I have some music notation I want to encode in a semantic format, so it can be analyzed/displayed/exported/imported/etc."

Well, if Excel would be running at half the speed (or half of LibreOffice Calc!) on half of the machines around here somebody at Redmond would notice, find the hardware bug and work around it.

I guess that in most big companies it suffices that there is a problem with their own software running on the laptop of a C* manager or of somebody close to there. When I was working for a mobile operator the antennas the network division cared about most were the ones close to the home of the CEO. If he could make his test calls with no problems they had the time to fix the problems of the rest of the network in all the country.
The common constituents of space and particles must be extended, reach up to the cosmological horizon, and be of Planck radius.

This yields the modern version of Dirac's scissor trick and thus yields the Dirac equation. The constituents also yield the gauge interactions and the different elementary particles - all as observed. Also general relativity with the field equations arises. So it seems that all of nature is described with Dirac's idea.
Your statement sounds like a contradiction.

If the development of batteries is so rapid, Rolls Royce not investing in electric engines and doubling down on fuel-burning engines instead could open them up for a book story worthy "disruption".

By the time batteries/electric plane engines suddenly become good enough, Rolls Royce might face themselves in a "why does nobody want our fuel-burning engines anymore" situation that will require multiple years to catch up to electric engine manufacturers. Multiple years of catching up that Rolls Royce might not have at the time they find themselves in the "nobody wants our engines anymore" situation.

Interesting, I just posted a family story illustrating one of these crimes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38460975

I couldn't believe in the "clean Wehrmacht" myth even if I wanted to. I'm still not convinced all the Wehrmacht soldiers were inherently bad people or monsters. I'm not defending them - what they did across Europe, what led to millions of graves, was wrong. What I'm cautious about, though, is the hatred and emotional judgment that leads to more, not less, bloodshed.

The lack of a catacomb is good. The absence of any punishment for people outside those 7k convicted, however, is not.

> individually, highly optimised.

Now why would you expect that?

What happened to OP is a pure chance. CPython's C code doesn't even care about const-consistency. It's flush with dynamic memory allocations, bunch of helper / convenience calls... Even stuff like arithmetic does dynamic memory allocation...

Normally, you don't expect CPython to perform well, not if you have any experience working with it. Whenever you want to improve performance you want to sidestep all the functionality available there.

Also, while Python doesn't have a standard library, since it doesn't have a standard... the library that's distributed with it is mostly written in Python. Of course, some of it comes written in C, but there's also a sizable fraction of that C code that's essentially Python code translated mechanically into C (a good example of this is Python's binary search implementation which was originally written in Python, and later translated into C using Python's C API).

What one would expect is that functionality that is simple to map to operating system functionality has a relatively thin wrapper. I.e. reading files wouldn't require much in terms of binding code because, essentially, it goes straight into the system interface.

Will the entire car market transition to electric vehicles?

There's a possibility that this shift might result in a scenario where only premium cars are electric, while a proportion remain petrol-powered.
Aren't these and the cybertruck, etc. The distraction?
It's just the same as the non-fossil versions of diesel like HVO100 and similar. Whether this fuel is "sustainable" or "emission free" of course depends on how you see it. It will depend on what the source of the fats used is, and how those were produced, how much and what energy was used in the processing and so on. But at least it's significantly better than regular fossil fuel.

An interesting thing about this is that there has been quite a lot of infrastructure built to create these fuels for road transport in the last decades. So if road transport is electrified but flight isn't, then all those resources could quite easily be redirected to make aircraft fuel instead. If I recall the interview correctly that I heard regarding the flight mentioned below, I think there are some countries that have enough biofuel production (currently for road transport) already, to replace all the aircraft fuel used domestically.

The first commercial transatlantic flight with this type of fuel was just two days ago:

Kind of, the physiology of stress and fight or flight generally isn’t, even to pro athletes. But to that point, why do you think the lessons aren’t crossing over into academics?
I think you'd have to believe in something like an omniscient and omnipotent force (e.g. God) to really accept a fully deterministic universe. You'd have to believe that the initial conditions of the universe were just so that all of history would happen to lead to you typing that message, and me responding to it, solely by the physical interactions of particles. It just seems so unlikely to me. It's a bullet I'm not willing to bite. It's actually less ridiculous to me to believe in God determining every action, which I also can't bring myself to do either. All that's left is some form of free will or compatibilism, neither of which are fully satisfying.

While a labor department obviously doesn't set minimum wage, they do often handle all kinds of labor/employer disputes (such as wage theft, denial of breaks, mandatory overtime complaints, retaliation complaints, handling worker's comp claims, etc) that would strongly benefit from someone who already has this understanding (or at least has spent time thinking about it).

Maybe a $300 wage theft complaint doesn't sound like that big a deal to a labor secretary making $196,000. But it could be an absolutely ruinous for some workers, and represent a huge amount of work to make up.
