Sorry to make you feel bad, but that exact realization is the reason I don’t do remote work anymore. (I still scroll on my phone here and there!)

A cynic might retort that reading a book is also “doing nothing”, but I think there is a certain physical presence that is missing with the scrolling. Hard to describe, but you know it when you feel it.

In the first case I'm dubious that MT7981B can handle usefully more than GigE with the usual small packets, firewall rules, anti-buffer bloat, QoS, numerous clients, and related that people expect of a router these days.

Seems to really limit the audience and shorten the useful life of a router to penny pinch. How about a $88 NanoPi with dual 2.5G, 4GB ram, 32GB eMMC, and wifi? Is it really worth $10 to have 1/4th the ram, 1/256th the storage, 1G instead of 2.5G and less CPU[0]?

I got similar with the faster RK3588, 8GB ram, dual 2.5 and 1G, and metal case for $120. I've been quite impressed, it's about half as fast as my xeon E3-1230 from years ago.

I'm a programming language designer, so I think about this stuff all day every day.

I believe you're right that expertise has something to do with it, but I don't think your comment quite connects why consistency leads to expertise.

Consistency is about taking what users already know about a system and compounding that expertise across other parts of the system. When a system is consistent, once I spend the effort to learn X and Y, then I also know Z and W because they'll behave the same way. In an inconsistent system, I can't extract as much value from my existing learning investment.
People are desperate for "quantum" to be involved in the brain because it's the only possible way to resolve "Physical processes are mostly deterministic" -> "The brain is a physical process" -> "A deterministic brain means truly no free will, which has serious philosophical and ethical implications".
AirPods success have nothing to do with the actual technology involved and everything to do with the ability to display wealth, or social status.

Just like the mediocre included earbuds with iPods were very popular even as a replacement or for other devices even though there were countless much better choices at the same price.

I owned AirPods and not only they are undeserving of the hype but for the price they are extremely mediocre and have a pretty big longevity problem.

People keep buying them because everybody knows how much they cost and how often you have to change them, which makes you part of a de facto well-off group.

The biggest Apple products might be the social engineering around their products but for this to work they need people to not be too aware, so I guess it will stay that way...

You could use a short response timeout (<1s) to make it impractical for human players to participate - for instance, that's what Battlesnake does (https://play.battlesnake.com/). Players provide an endpoint that follows the required API and their code never leaves their machines.

I always find this kind of phrasing problematic due to its implicit anthrophomorphic metaphors.

Whether spaguetti code or not, I think that people often just assume that we have the capacity to understand it give the period of time between now and when humans disappear (because of evolution, a meteorite, climate change or human intervention). I am highly skeptical. Maybe, whatever species emerges after us, might have a better chance but to them we might be no different than a homo erectus is to us homo sapients.

This is the bank transfer example we show in rama-demo-gallery. There's both Java and Clojure versions of that example. https://github.com/redplanetlabs/rama-demo-gallery

The atomic bank transfer is done as part of function(data). The data record contains fromAccountId, toAccountId, and amount. The function applies the transfer if it's valid (fromAccountId has at least that amount of funds), and no-ops otherwise.
One, it made the code unreadable and impossible to maintain properly, especially since most of those table where generated straight out of photoshop or whatever.

Yep -- there was a thread a while about whether a biologist could reverse-engineer a radio, and I made the comment that electronics are designed to keep the various functions nicely decoupled, while biological systems aren't/don't, because they optimize for something else, leading them to bleed state across the entire system:

I'll add another airline story. SAS, the Scandinavian flag carrier - which you'd think would have Scandinavian characters down. I've had an account with them since, well, they got a web presence. My last name contains an ø - for which; technically at least Norway accepts both o and oe as valid transliterations.

Order a ticket online, they pick the transliteration for ø as o, passports transliterate ø to oe - the less ambiguous choice. This generally isn't a problem until you want to travel to one of the APIS countries - USA or UK, which won't let you check in if the name on your passport doesn't match the name on the ticket.

I have tormented many check-in counter staff with this, especially at regional airports that don't see a lot of international travel.
I don’t understand how this needs anything beyond surface level complexity… you have fat people who for show reasons were tightly controlled on exercise and food intake - which works for well understood reasons - then they took that away and left the people to their lifelong established habits.

Of course they regain the weight.

These people didn’t magically create mass from nothing. They ate too much for their activity. Done. Stop doing that if you don’t want to gain weight. Obviously easier said than done. But I’m sick of the idea that these poor souls are visited at night by globs of mass that force their way inside.

All these magic drugs are going to do is incentive bad food and bad habits. This isn’t good news.
Fuck that’s crazy.

For the CS people who don’t understand what this means, a rough analogy is that HIV does something like steganography to encode two proteins in one gene.

On the other hand I would argue that evolutionary pressure works differently for modern humans in the 20th century and beyond than it did for the majority of human evolution.

Sure uneducated people now often have more kids due to less contraception options/knowledge and as old age insurance.
But then again rich people have more kids than middle class because of well more money and everything that comes with it.

In any case all of this is anecdotal and emotion based because there is not much good data on this. Or maybe there is?
I've never even been inside a brach of any bank I actually bank at. I've been in a bank to actually do banking like twice in my life, both times to get large bill withdrawals for in person cash vehicle purchases. And I'd just prefer there to be ATMs near me that support bills larger than 20s, why wait until the bank opens and stand in line.

I truly don't understand why a regular person would bother going in to a bank in-person. It just seems like a worse experience compared to doing your banking whenever, wherever.

I understand business banking and what not gets more complicated and it can be helpful having a team to talk to, but a normal person banking is almost always pretty dang basic.
This only works if the article isn't covering anything very novel. If there isn't a fairly wide base of explanations on the topics within, it struggles and hallucinates.

Mobile SDK design: Using Rust and dynamic configuration to maximize efficiency
(Creators here:) We are excited to talk about the architectural and design principles that underpin the development of the Capture SDK.

the pseudo-anonymous amateur communties still exist. but they're private and invite-only, because a public community that allows anonymous posting becomes a cesspit of toxic behaviour, or else requires so much content moderation that the only feasible way to do it is automated recommendation algorithms.

without the threat of "we'll kick you out and you'll never be able to get back in", these sort of communities don't work. there's just too many assholes on the internet now.
Thanks for the neat estimate. It would be hard to dehydrate DNA to a significant degree, so adding some water and counterions would probably reduce your estimate by a bit. (Error correction would also reduce things by a bit.) Overall the estimate of ~500 exabytes per gram seems reasonable to me.

Speaking as an American:

I think it happens if you have kids. Parents make friends with their kids' friends' parents. "Soccer moms" and other parents whose kids are enrolled in sports make friends with other parents of their kid's teammates. Parents also make friends with their kid's teachers.

And kids still make friends at school, and after school during extracurricular activities like sports and jazz band.

Besides that, I think you're right, unless you make friends with your coworkers. There are also still parts of the US where you make friends with your neighbors. My parents recently moved to different suburbs a few years ago, and they're friends with their neighbors.
I find the people protecting the woke tribe in these comments to lack any subjectivity or critical distance whatsoever. Are they accurately representing their ideological adversaries with drive-by derision and dismissing out of hand an article that doesn't spend the majority of its time hand-wringing the issue like they do?

The more I see of these snide attacks, the less I believe there's any veracity at all in their belief system, which now spans an entire constellation of fringe politics turned mainstream.

The assumption that biological systems can be easily programmed or engineered has led to a lot of wasted Silicon Valley capital, misguided movements like "biohacking" and outright fraud, ranging from bogus supplements to devices promising better physical or mental health (search for "quwave defender" on Amazon or Google for one particularly noxious example).
I think if one likes working in the kitchen they should try things like this. But, for me, certain things the trade-off of time/value isn't really worth it. For example, I can make croissants, but the time it takes to do them just isn't worth it to me when I can pick up some good ones when I am out. But, a French or Italian loaf, on the other hand, is really simple to do pretty good, so I just do those at home.

> In 2016, Pontzer and colleagues published a study putting forward the constrained energy model: Energy expenditure does increase with more activity, but only to a point. Once physical activity gets really high, the body will adjust other components of the metabolism to keep your daily energy expenditure within a narrow range

How do people who constantly repeat the mantra of thermodynamics in such threads explain this? How is the body burning the same calories with increased physical activity? Not to mention that people can extract more or less calories from the exact same food and quantity consumed.

> rich people have more kids than middle class

Do they? I am pretty sure that the vast majority of the human population is poor and not just "I can't afford an iPhone poor" but "I have no food on the table" poverty. The rich are but a tiny minority. In terms of reproduction, poor people win easily. Last time I check, rich people are more likely to be highly educated compare to anyone else and education is a predictor of reproduction rate (more education and less reproduction and less education and more reproduction).

I feel like I went into this from a position of genuine interest, I'm always on the lookout for significant developments in backend architecture.

But when I hit the sentence "This can completely correct any sort of human error," I actually laughed out loud. Either the author is overconfident or they have had surprisingly little exposure to humans. More concretely, it seems to completely disregard the possibility of invalid/improper/inconsistent events being introduced by the writer... the way that things go wrong. And I don't see any justification for disregarding this possibility, it's just sort of waved away. That means waving way most of the actual complexity I see in this design, of having to construct your PState data models from your actual, problematic event history. Anyone that's worked with ETLs over a large volume of data will have spent many hours on this fight.

I think the concept is interesting, but the revolutionary zeal of this introduction seems unjustified. It's so confident in the superiority of Rama that I have a hard time believing any of the claims. I would like to see a much more balanced compare/contrast of Rama to a more conventional approach, and particularly I would like to see that for a much more complex application than a Twitter clone, which is probably just about the best possible case for demonstrating this architecture.
Why materialize? A normal view is sufficient
All other issues aside, it would be shocking if reported rates of teen mental illness did not increase as long-standing stigmas gradually wane and these topic become more acceptable to speak about. If your kid cut themself in 1975, what were you going to do? Ask you husband to spend money to "shrink their head"? More likely you'd hide it, like past generations hid most of their traumas.

Now, there are many outlets for both that teen and their parents (and their teachers, and their friends, and their friends' parents) to say or do something in response. There are resources online that virtually anyone can access, phone numbers you can call, authority figures better-trained to recognize these problems. And perhaps most importantly, we got rid of the absurd mentality that what happens in other families is none of our business, no matter how many unexplained bruises or cuts we witness.

Only now that we are openly discussing and grappling with these issues do we have ay hope of turning the tide.
