It depends on the field, but medicine has replication rates [1] that are so absurdly low that it's near to impossible for there not to be significant scale shenanigans going on in the research:

---

'A 2012 research paper found that only 11% of 53 pre-clinical cancer studies had replications that could confirm conclusions from the original studies.[79] In late 2021, The Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology examined 53 top papers about cancer published between 2010 and 2012 and showed that among studies that provided sufficient information to be redone, the effect sizes were 85% smaller on average than the original findings.[80][81] Another report estimated that almost half of randomized controlled trials contained flawed data (based on the analysis of anonymized individual participant data (IPD) from more than 150 trials).[83]

---

There's also a simple pragmatic issue. When finding something is effective gives you billions of dollars in profits, and finding it ineffective gives you millions in losses, you have motivations beyond just the truth. This is where regulatory agencies are supposed to come into play, yet those agencies tend to be staffed (if not lead) by people from the exact same companies they're supposed to be regulating.

> I told her then that the industry would be disrupted by AI before she retired.

Yes. I just discovered there is a text-to-speech addon [1] (now a few months old) for World of Warcraft that adds voices for every NPC in the game... It is so impressive and game changer (pun intended) that I naively asked in the chat of the Twitch stream I was watching "when did Blizzard add voices to the NPCs??". For an instant I really thought Blizzard contracted actors, but no, someone like you and me just used AI to generate realistic voices for every character in the game. I don't think it's ready yet to completely replace actors in video games (surely it will in the near future tho) but voice acting is something so expensive to do that I can see studios and developers in 2024 already use this tech for all the optional dialogues and secondary characters' voices.

If the bar for being successful is to inherit a pile of money that means you never have to worry about anything ever without losing it all, then boy is that a low bar.

Plenty of people with a stupid amount of money lack skills and have bad habits. The difference is if you’re born poor you’re at a disadvantage from the jump. It is harder to climb out of poverty than to lose hundreds of millions of dollars of your inherited wealth. Give me a break. Good grief.

Obtaining skills costs money and time. People in poverty are less likely to have the money needed and the free time to do so because they’re working a ton of hours at a low pay rate. Someone born into extravagant wealth doesn’t have to worry about survival and can do whatever the hell they want, even if it is to work hard and obtain skills via education, they have the time and resources to invest.

I’m not going to claim everyone with money didn’t earn it, but many don’t and the generational transfer of wealth is a problematic at the scale it has gotten to.
It could have been more clear. The wording from the problem is "the last digit on each line". To me, that pretty clearly implies "the rightmost substring containing a digit", but I guess I can see how someone could question that interpretation.

Money is a social construct, and it seems you are starting from the base assumption that wealth can be transferred infinitely and unrestricted between generations. Not everyone holds that view of money.

probably, but you got the gist anyways
When you have the assurance that you'll get wealth handed down to you, it opens up the possibility to explore things you're good at and take on more risk to amass greater wealth.

So really, it's a push and pull situation. Billionaires do indeed know how to get rich but they're from stable backgrounds which permits them to do so.

Meanwhile, most of us are stuck at 9-to-5 jobs and worried about making good on our interest payments.
I was wondering the same thing. I've heard conflicting things and I'm not sure how to make sense of that.
We are devolving to the status quo from the nineteen century and before. A couple owners of inherited wealth and huge dispossessed masses.
Most of the company uses Windows. A few of us actually write code and are on Mac. For some reason, for me, Teams is perpetually disconnecting from the network and requiring a refresh. It's essentially become a worse email service for me.

I'm currently writing a very similar article about "full-stack databases" which highlights the same pattern where many apps end recreating the logic of our backend and database in the frontend client code. The solution we're promoting is to choose a database that can run on both the server and in the client and then sync between them.

The reason we aren't using Sqlite for our product is because Sql is frankly not the right tool for querying data for an application. It doesn't easily map to the data-structures you want in your client code and nearly all SQL databases have no way to subscribe to changes to a query without polling the query repeatedly.

So if you like the idea of having a complete database on your client but also want deep integration with Typescript/Javascript check out what we're building at https://github.com/aspen-cloud/triplit

I'm looking for a remote front-end position.

I have a master's degree in urban planning, and have been working as a front-end developer for over four years. I have worked on projects in construction and healthcare. In construction, I developed a platform and interface for logistics and monitoring, and in healthcare, I was involved creating a platform for care services. I have experience as a solo front-end developer and as part of a team of 20 developers in Europe and Australia.
In any public library (in the US, anyway), you can check out books from every library that is part of the inter-library loan service. This include all (I think) other public libraries as well as a healthy number of college libraries. You're not even limited to books!

Have a chat with your local librarian. You might be pleasantly surprised at how deep that resource goes.
> Statistically, many "average" upper middle class people are very able to become low tier multimillionaires through a well educated upbringing and a good job, and good financial decisions over a long period of time.

That's why I addressed that. Retirement savings and home is a different sort of millionaire than someone with 50 million in the bank. What lifestyle choices are going to be visible in someone with 50 million vs a billion? The number of private jets they own?
Guyana being part of the Commonwealth of Nations also seems like it may mean that the British could get involved on their side, which could also be a significant factor.
Sure, and I agree with that. As I said, I'd probably push that just as much as it being 'offline,' if not more.
It's probably 36% of food imports, but oil & gas is also an incredibly important strategic resource China does not have nearly enough of. Which means their domestic crops are reliant on oil imports from which fertilizer is derived. But also most everything else they hope to manufacture.
Very true, but I believe the public's acceptance of something is really the main test. Google Glass was intended for daily wear by everyone but the public absolutely hated them. Cell phones are accepted, mostly because you can usually tell if someone is recording you (compared to Glass) but personally I have thought AR glasses would be awesome.

I could have an AR Pokémon pet, like Pokémon Go...but good...
Not really. You can use this on an ICE, but this really is useful (compared to a CV joint) when you have very short axles. On a ICE the axle needs to cross the entire width of the car anyway in some form, so you may as well use a CV joint. With an EV they want to use 4 small motors as close to each wheel as possible and thus free up space in the middle of the car where the axle used to go. A CV joint has a longer minimum length axle compared to this, so the motor has to go that much closer to the middle. When they use this they get useful space in the middle of the car (between the motors) that can be used for something else.
How is generational wealth defined in that statistic? I know many people who had parents whom I would consider wealthy, but the kids don't make as much and the family are taken down a notch as the kids reach middle age. However, these "wealthy" people were doctors or lawyers, they did well and probably were in the top 2% of earners in their prime, but they were never worth many tens of millions. On the other hand, I think a billionaire's wealth can last for generations if set up properly in trusts, etc.
Yeah, sure... we heard that crap before on the Malvinas/Falklands. Didn't work very well for Argentina, did it? Btw, Guyana is part of the British Commonwealth, just saying...

If your logic makes any sense then why don't you Venezuelans return your country to the natives and kick all the European descendants out? White people stole the land from the Waayu and Timoto-cuicas, right?
I thought the point of the horse analogy is that total wealth will increase but some large group of people will be so left out that their quality of living actually decreases. Like mass unemployment due to robots doing all the jobs. In that scenario I do believe there would be an armed revolt without the institution of a massive welfare state.
Just a little bit of geographic, economic, political, historical sense would be adequate to raise that doubt.

china imports around 10% of its food needed. the specifics get complex depending on how you measure and what you measure - but it is not at all credible that 36% of china's food is from south america. and in the recent past they were far less integrated with global trade

I don't know what theory of gravity you are trying to use, but it isn't the correct one.

In our actual model of the universe, using the correct theory of gravity, the "total amount of gravity" affecting us (or any point) from the rest of the universe (i.e., once we factor out local influences like our solar system and our galaxy) is zero. That is because the average matter distribution in the universe is the same in all directions from us, so the "gravity" from it cancels out. The average matter distribution in the universe affects its overall rate of expansion over time, but this is not the same as the kind of "gravity" you are thinking of.

Also, while our universe does have a cosmological horizon (due to accelerating expansion), this horizon does not work the way your hypothetical "event horizon" does.

In short, your "theory" is not even wrong, because it doesn't even start from a correct underlying theory of gravity.
>> If too much concentration of wealth leads to crisis and crisis is a 'distributing' mechanism this is basically a self-correcting dynamic.

Doesn't this imply that economic hardships lead to unrest and wars?

It certainly seems so and seems like a logical conclusion.

It may be primarily anecdotal, but the last 100 years or so seem to confirm it.

This is the primary critique from the left of the VC phenomenon.
My understanding is that it does expand on small scales (such as between your fingers), but at that scale the expansion is so weak/slow that it is immediately compensated by the local attractive forces.
Maybe, though the owner seemed legitimately annoyed with Booking.com having the listing still active. Their direct price ended up being 10-15% cheaper in any case.
Yea I don't see how this will work. Just a little bit of sand or water in there and it is a goner.
I also think it's worth calling out that his follow-up, "Capital and Ideology" in its latter sections includes several suggestions for counteracting the trend to increasing inequality. One of these is basically that _every_ person should have a windfall inheritance when they're in their early adulthood, which would give them opportunities to pursue education, try starting a business, or whatever else. And naturally, this needs to be funded by taxes on the very wealthy.
When searching for the last number in the line I just reversed the line and scanned through it looking for the reversed strings for the number:

from that treemap, it does look like the former. "this region" is a poor choice of words if they mean all of Brazil, not the northern area.
The biggest stakeholder is change and accumulated cruft. The usefulness of code also drifts over time as the users, business, or paradigms/ecosystem changes. Most new code should be considered throw away until it's proven useful to end users. Once useful it can merged into 'stable' tree that should have high standards. Ideally 'stable' is capped at a certain size per the number of engineers and so to move code in requires refactoring or deleting dead or less useful code. The balance you want is to maintain high velocity but also allow for maintainability and core stability.
Well, from my experience, bamboo isn't cheap, and from my reading varies in properties based on species at least as much as wood.

A probably bigger problem though is you'd need to add production steps to an already not dirt cheap material to create larger surfaces to make veneer from. And I'd imagine the veneer has potential to be mighty ugly since it'd have to be from a bunch of glued up boards.

Maybe bamboo OSB would be a simpler and cheaper experimentation.
Right. Because the only answer this ideology proposes is to "burn it all down and..."

Which you might note is not an "answer" so much as it is succumbing to the chaos that you don't feel is important enough to control.

I do appreciate you making that explicit though! It's often hard to get people to admit to such naked dismissal of functional societal mechanisms that actual people get practical, tangible value from. Definitely contextualizes the framing more vividly.

Seasoned developer with about 5 years of experience (see Résumé for details), a constant learning mindset and eagerness to do great things with a team, big or small. I’m mostly interested in Elixir but I’ll consider any software development position (I have some experience with front-end here and there).
Back in the Drupal... 6, I think? days it was a really, really nice way to do a rapid prototype of a CRUD app. CCK, Views, etc. would let even a minimally technical person whip together what they wanted for something like an in-house ticketing system or knowledgebase or whatnot. We put some neat stuff together for the newspaper I worked at using it.

All that flexibility resulted in pages with 1k+ queries on them, and nasty upgrade paths. I hear D8 is Symfony-based now, and a lot got cleaned up, but after one project upgrading a Drupal app from one major version to another I won't touch it again. After a month's worth of work we refunded the client and canceled the job.
Wow, after trying out the demo, I'm floored by how high quality this is. The translations worked perfectly, the voice cloning was "good enough", and the emotions conveyed in my voice was retained pretty accurately.

I don't think this would fool anyone that I was a real native speaker of the target language, but for casual conversation this would work pretty much perfectly. It basically avoids all of the traditional pitfalls of machine translation, like the unnatural robotic voice that it outputs, the slow translation speed and huge latency for realtime conversation, and the loss of emotion.
All of this is wrong. Newtonian gravity does not work for describing the universe as a whole. As I pointed out in response to the GP upthread, the "force of gravity" on us due to the overall matter distribution of the universe is zero.
For GitHub, Firefox usage will be way higher.

And besides “Microsoft <3 Open Source” right?

… Right?
I've done a few shit jobs as well, and I'll say that software development working conditions might not be awesome, but they suck the least. Of course, I've got a bad hip and live in South Texas, so the prospect of doing labor in 110 degree plus heat indexes is what I'm comparing against.

As it is, I'm almost 100% in-office which I prefer, but that also goes to liking my co-workers and company as well.
> But I really struggle to understand going from "we should be better stewards of the environment for our own benefit" to "it would be better if we never succeeded in the first place."

They didn't say the latter, though. I think it's odd to even bring the idea of success into the question - I would not define "10xing the rest of the mammal biomass" as "success". Not even on evolutionary criteria - usually I understand "successful" creatures as ones that are widespread and long-lived, but we really haven't combined those two traits yet.
There's still nothing innately wrong with the idea of colonizing these worlds.

Just because certain groups of people have beliefs about the "wrongness" of something, doesn't mean that they're in the least bit rational or need to be given weight. The uh space, beyond the Earth is literally a blasted wasteland created from ancient formation violence. Nothing we do in that sterile, radioactive, chemically toxic vastness of planets, rocks, ice and open void would by any sane definition be comparable to some sort of ecocide on earth, where extremely precious flora and fauna are destroyed.

The philosophy of degrowth is entirely a subjective moral view, no more morally valid than a philosophy of more growth, and humanity is emphatically not a virus, it just is, like any other complex species on Earth.
If their supervisors believe "exempt" means "abuse this person with all the unpaid overtime", and don't respect their time and autonomy and expect them to respond to every interruption and get all their own stuff done, it's very unlikely that documenting those interruptions and "planning appropriately" will actually make a positive difference. More likely it'll just get them told they're being insubordinate.

Now, the ideal answer in a situation like that is to leave and find a better job. But if everyone in a situation like that could just leave and find a better job, we wouldn't have situations like that for long.
Or a lot of billionaires are dying right now (Charlie Munger comes to mind)
By nominal TFLOPS, the GPUs in the M1 Max, M2 Max, and M3 Max are in the same neighborhood as PS5 and Xbox Series X. On the CPU side, even the base M1 is faster than any console.

Apple pricing model creates artificial scarcity with memory and storage, which makes the base models poorly suited for gaming. Consoles ship with 16 GB memory and 1 TB SSD, while reaching the same numbers is still a $600 upgrade to the base M2/M3 Macs.
>who passes off as a multi millionaire.

What does this look like?
> Yet on the billionaire leaderboard the top-10 are: Musk, Arnault, Bezos, Ellison, Buffet, Gates, Zuckerberg, Balmer, Page, Bin.

According to Forbes there are 2,6k+ billionaires, so the top 10 is 0.3% of that.
Not tacit, he just verified it.
> It's hard to imagine for regular people just how far a billion dollars is

I heard it put this way once before and it really stuck with me: the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is a billion dollars. If that doesn't make sense, consider how that is proportionally the same as saying: the difference between one dollar and a thousand dollars is a thousand dollars. One dollar is literally nothing next to a thousand dollars.

If you bought something for $1k and you were overcharged $1, lots of people wouldn't even notice. Of course, someone greedy enough to be a billionaire would probably notice though :P
Turned my dynamic website into a static WASM SPA using Go
Hello Peeps!

A couple of months ago I wrote about a tool I created to parse CRDs and generate a Sample YAML out of it including values with the right type.

I created a website for that which was the classing client-server website which I hosted.

Now it's a static WASM based SPA site using go-app that is hosted on GitHub pages. It's pretty neat. No more JavaScript. :D I jest. But it IS pretty neat.

The link above is a post detailing the process and linking to the site.

Thank you! :)
