This feels like one more in a long list of well-intentioned advice that ends up being used to justify bad practices. In this case, never refactoring.

Others include:

"premature optimisation" (never worry about performance)

"Unix philosophy" (programs can't do more than one "thing"; where "thing" means whatever I want it to)
The effort and resources required to train from raw data are nothing compared to the effort and resources that went into producing the "training" input. How much dors it cost to produce all the things they scrapped from the internet? So morally they are in the wrong - I don't care if it's standard practice since "the beginning of the internet" or not.

Driving isn't negotiable, when living in the USA outside of the few major metros. Unless you've done it, you may not know what I mean. Most of the US is truly remote, even from the closest grocery store. Health doesn't play into the practical consideration of the way most of the country needs to traverse needed distances.
I'm a huge fan of Andy's work and have been for years. Absolutely loved this episode.

If I may suggest another one of Dwarkesh's episodes that I thoroughly enjoyed: his 2 episode interview of Carl Shulman. It is an absolute treat. Completely different subjects, of course, but equally engaging.
closing down your database, limiting callers to use stored procedures also helps if your database has more than one stakeholder calling into it.

If that’s the case, you don’t want to allow stakeholders to make arbitrary queries, as those could run fine from their perspective, but would be disastrous from that of the other stakeholders.

Team A could be fine having the database be excruciatingly slow for an hour while they run their monthly reporting queries or while they run a huge import or whole they do a select that forces a table scan on a huge table, but teams B, C, etc might not.

That’s why such a database has a separate team “DBA” whose job it is to know the full picture.
Or the situation may have changed, making it impossible to find the original reason.

This is an absurd argument. It reads as a self serving rationalization of cultural appropriation. They didn’t value what they had and can’t be trusted with it today. As if the only option is to give objects back to poor or corrupt governments. Even if true that doesn’t mean people are undeserving of their past. How about strengthening local non-governmental institutions to care for these objects?

>There is nothing didactic in the photographs; they have a relaxed tone, are often sympathetic, often celebratory, often funny, never malicious. They are as careful as they are spontaneous, as observant as they are generous – there is no general theme, no general point being made except that their very specificity and variety points to the universal business of being alive. All together, they show us that however beautiful Cambridge is, however ancient its gatehouses, however medieval its lanes, or still and green its courts, it is also a place where students and strangers, tourists and locals, vault and dance and play.

What does “official” mean? The OpenSSH team? IETF?

Anyway, SSH authentication is extremely inflexible, and the protocol is not particularly performant, especially on large bandwidth-delay links. Moving to HTTP3 seems like an excellent idea if it’s implemented well.

Petrol fire is much more common than battery fires, which are vanishingly rare.

The oil infrastructure must be dismantled as fast as possible. Recycling of batteries is a chicken-egg problem : it's ramping up, but is necessarily lagging behind EV market penetration. It's an eminently solvable problem -- lead batteries are recycled way over 95% already.

Remember : a vehicle lasts about 12 to 14 years. in 2035 (12 years), our fossil fuel consumption must have been reduced drastically compared to now. Buying any sort of ICE vehicle today is really, really hard to justify.

The criteria for removal are clear on paper, but impossible to meet, so the effect is the same.

It is impossible to meet because the reason why the proverbial fence was put up is, more often than not, a mixture of misunderstandings, logical fallacies and political motives from both the one who put it up, as well as other stakeholders involved, and most importantly, none of those aspects are documented and none of the people are around anymore. You'd need nothing less than a time machine to understand why the fence was put up.
it's a pretty normal and established occurrence I'd Say. I don't know if most people do that, but yes one way to rationalize or reassure yourself that what you are doing is safe is to look around at the wider group and see if people are doing it without worry.

> What if our interments for measuring temperature were improving over the last century?

Thermometers have been around pretty much unchanged for a long time. We don't need particularly high precision measurement for an overall trend on the measurement scale of tenths of degrees Celsius.

> What if the locations of the measurements changed slightly?

Then we'd expect momentary level and trend shifts whenever the location changes.

> And finally, what if we’re exiting an ice age (we are still technically in one)?

We are, but much much faster than would occur without human activity.

The author then goes through pages describing pre-computer digital systems, including the pascaline, with 'a digital display of the sixteen century'.
Maybe the bay area is a particularly dystopian hellscape compared to the rest of the US, but here are some things that don't work here without a smartphone:

- Going to large event venues. Ticketmaster implemented a rotating barcode system, specifically to prevent people from using printed tickets. You have to either (1) use their webpage at the event where there's no cell service (2) install their malware on your phone or (3) on iOS add the ticket to Apple Wallet.

- Park in touristy areas. Parking meters still accept quarters, but a typical parking session is $20-$50, and the meters don't appear to be physically large enough to accept that many quarters.

- Charge your electric vehicle (Unless it's a tesla, maybe? Mine isn't.)

- Get into your office building (if you still have a commute)

Exactly. These kind of devs (like OP) cannot be quiet and need to constantly introduce something “cool” so that they can get a good salary raise. The moment they cannot introduce more BS, they move on to another company. The poor other “average” devs need to maintain all the crap.
The RFCs for SSH2 were all published by IETF, so I would definitely expect IETF to be involved in a project that claims to be "SSH3". If some random person started an OS project and called it "Windows 12", people would rightfully be confused.

This is pretty neat, definitely better to move to UDP, so that we can have the proper response to unauthorized contact--no response.

QUIC is fine as is though, no need to layer HTTP3 on top of it.
I find it beneficial to just keep asking why. Sure, the answer is sometimes "because universe", but asking why (not just how) over and over again helps me build my mental model.

Bicycling is a viable form of transportation, for short distances and recreation. However, it isn't an option for many if not most needs outside of the house even in suburbia. Not to mention the rural areas / exurbs. A Mom of a couple of kids can't transport her weekly food shop on a bike. Ignoring the inherent danger in getting to the store.

I feel like this is a planning conversation for before the era when they decided to make US planning completely car centric and isolating, in a manner that can't be easily nor quickly reversed in a real way.

I think this tight coupling between the language and the platform compromised a very promising language. Swift is one of few if not the only modern language that, at the same time, has excellent performance (due to AOT compilation and optimization, deterministic garbage collection via ARC etc.), has modern security features (algebraic nil as opposed to NULL, bounds checking etc.), and is relatively easy to learn and become productive in, perhaps on par with Python/JavaScript for the core language.

I don't think there's something else in the "general purpose languages with substantial real-world use" camp that touches on those 3 points quite like Swift does.

On the other hand, non-Apple developers have good reason to avoid Apple, due to the extreme anti-competitive behavior. It's the C# story all over again.
Did YouTube just ban me for uBlock?
I woke up this morning unable to log into my YouTube account. I was watching a video at 10pm and then at 8am I was banned. I got the warning about ublock and was wondering if they were actively banning folks or if someone on the internet just has a huge problem with my username (stupid American pig)
Correct words, but blatantly misleading as a concept.

As an example: sure, Einstein found in the 1900s that Newton's theory of gravity from the 1600s was wrong, but it's wrong to such a degree that it doesn't matter for everyday applications and we still use and teach Newton's law of universal gravitation because it's a very good approximation with a very simple formula. If we had based the mechanism of climate change on the "faulty" formula and adjusted our emissions based on that, then found out that it's incorrect to the same degree, we'd have been so close to the truth that it would have worked out perfectly (to well within the error margins of global measurements).

The point of science is that it's about testable predictions. You can say "if I drop a mass from 1m height at sea level in a vacuum chamber, it will impact the surface after 0.10204 seconds" and then go and measure that and you can find that it's right to within your measurement's error margins. We've been doing the same for climate mechanisms and a whole host of other things. If the scientific method didn't work, we couldn't have reliable vehicles, let alone airplanes or useful GPS results.

Don't let yourself be mislead by attention-grabbing headlines of "scientists found out they were wrong all along" which we see all too often. Read the article if it's from an otherwise good source, or click through to the source if it's not, and make up your own mind

> A nuance to this is musical instruments are designed to not change. That's a blessing in most aspects, but wouldn't fit with most of our work.

Our tools could be designed not to change too if there were some convention they abide. Things like project configuration, linting, debugging, formatting, code analysis and navigation. IDEs are great because of this, but they only support a handful of project types and languages.

What on earth is this article trying to accomplish? The tone is bizarre and the underlying concept sounds horrendous to work with if you truly want to replace your static data store with it. By all means add a formal event layer on top of your existing data store but to replace it sounds madness.

If that’s not what the article is proposing then for once I’m going to say it’s not a failure of my intelligence, it’s the articles fault here.

Appreciation might be more than enough return for them.
I think the 5 day "year end" is actually fine. So many people take lots of holidays around the end of the year so that period is kinda messed up anyways. It seems that it would be nice to just give everyone 5 days off and sort of unify it.

Since unfortunately 365 isn't a round number it seems like the best compromise. The other top approach would be counting days.

> If they just wanted money, they could have cut out a lot of the ethical filters and choke out competitors.

I think you are wrong here, the safety filters (“safety” and “ethics” for AI are labels for boundaries and concerns of different ideological factions, and Altman and OpenAI are deep in the “safety” side—which has the nost money and power behind it so “safety” is also becoming the generic term for AI boundaries) are an important oart if the PR and regulatory lobbying effort, which is key to OpenAI’s long term moneymaking plan, given the absence of a durable moat for commercial AI.

> If they just wanted money, they could have cut out a lot of the ethical filters and choke out competitors. Google didn't stop NSFW. Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, etc didn't.

Neither, in practice, has OpenAI—there are whole communitids built around using OpenAI's models for very, very NSFW purposes. They've prevented casual NSFW, to oresent the image they want to thr government and interest grouoa whose support they want as they lovby to shape regulation of AI. avoiding being a target for things like the 404 Media campaign against CivitAI where the NSFW is more readily visible.

Sure, there is some uncertainty. But in reality, we have a pretty complete model of physics, chemistry, geology and biology. Generally, the predictions we made 10 or 20 years ago match with what we're seeing.

So of course "science does not deal in certainties" but most of the questions are really at the second or third decimal point.

There is an excellent video by David Louapre (of Science Etonnante fame) that explains for example how our greenhouse model works. It's in French, but subtitles should do the tricks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewc8FBtEKPs
The amount of digging and extremely polluting chemical processing required to manufacture an electric car is massive. After that, you need to power it, which means expanding the electric grid and power facilities (which means even more destruction of environment). And, at the end of the day, the power used to charge these cars is still more likely than not gonna come from fossil fuels.

I feel we’re pushing the electric cars too early on people. The grid is far from being green yet, and the batteries are not that great in terms of efficiency, safety (spontaneous combustion anyone?) and the toll on natural environment. And yet governments are not doing any deeper analysis, and are just ramming those things down people’s throats.

> Chesterton will have to contend with our time honored tradition of tearing down fences.

The point is not to prevent teardown of fences. It's to know why they were setup in the first place. If it was put there for no reason other than to spend what's in the budget, then there is no barrier to removing it. But if it was there for good reason then you need to prepare a counter argument for why it should be removed.
That’s not quite the same question. Most of the primordial hydrogen that goes through stars isn’t fused into anything else and therefore is still primordial hydrogen, but it has been in one or more stars.

Hate the article enough to leave a negative comment, want to see the fall out of it and have it not drop off the front page, so stick an upvote on it as well would be my guess. I have commented on this but haven’t upvoted as it clearly a bonkers article.
Yes and no. It is too early to tell too - I see the big advantages of leaving to be long term, not in the first few years.

I certainly do not see the choice the way you do. My biggest objection to the EU is that it is centralising and trying to create a new country A risky exercise without common identity. A common currency that failed to be followed by fiscal central control was a huge mistake and lead to crisis in weaker economies (and the way Greece was treated, with de facto punishment imposed in return for bailout) was a disgrace. I will admit other multilateral organisations do similar (e.g. the domestic debt default unnecessarily imposed on Sri Lanka).

The UK has been playing airstrip one for a long time anyway. In someways we should be more like the French in terms of those policies.

In general, the way the EU is headed confirms my fears. Look at the last Dutch election, for example. There is a lot of bad legislation, a lot of lobbying by corporate interests - the government of the EU is far more removed from the people than national governments (which are bad enough) are.
