His point, I’m sure, is that the common criticism of the middle class wasting money on avocado toast is somehow stopping them saving that money and being super wealthy.

But, in reality, that amount of money, while non-trivial (~$3500/year) over a lifetime (not counting inflation) saved is still a fraction of a running error on a billionaire’s wealth. Over 40 years at current 5% is <$500,000.

Personally, I’d have the avocado toast.

Endlessly avocado for personal austerity while the super wealthy consume in ever increasing amounts is nonsense.

Ah, is your objection to the mixed terms, or to the intent of the poster? Or not an objection and a curious question? It can be hard to tell here.

Pretty much all of the bodies sphincters and regulated ‘pipes’ (including circulatory, GI, respiratory) either constrict (muscles tense) or dilate (muscles relax). Often there is minimal/no counter acting structure except perhaps for some ligaments/support structure, and the ‘opening’ force is provided by another means.

Confusingly, the optical pupils are the other way around - the pupillary dilator muscles have to contract to dilate the pupil. They are not the common case.

Albuterol acts directly on bronchial smooth muscle forcing it to relax (and also decreasing any immediate stress response in those cells). Which allows the alveolar duct to dilate during respiration.

I’m not aware of any significant muscular structure that actually would pull open the alveolar ducts - the force to inflate them comes from air inflating the lungs against the slight vacuum in the pleural breathing spaces from the action of the diaphragm and accessory breathing muscles.

The characteristic wheezing of asthma is due to the alveolar ducts (and bronchial in bad cases) muscles contracting excessively, constricting the airway and making it impossible to get adequate tidal volume. Sometimes it’s excessive due to the presence of mucus that isn’t being taken into account, other times even without it.

Counterintuitively, the difficulty breathing is generally because the air already inhaled cannot escape easily enough to allow room for more air. The wheezing is strongest on exhalation, and when responding to calls in the past, I’ve personally heard so bad it was clearly audible through multiple interior walls and the exterior wall - and outside the building. With an ambulance and fire truck running outside.

That is for adults who have stronger muscles. Pediatric patients are usually much more subtle.

Inadequate respiratory tidal volume is of course an immediate life threatening emergency, and very high on the ‘kills ya faster’ list. Time wise, potentially similar to hypovolemic shock or cardiac arrest.

It seems saying the ‘muscle dilates’, while not being technically exacting, isn’t misleading in this situation.
Have you ever looked at a application or software, and thought "I could build that $%#@."

Well, that was the reasoning behind our team recently launching this tv series called 100 Apps, 100 Hours.

In this episode, we challenged one of our devs to build an AI app that builds itself in less than an hour.

> Vijay Murugesan at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state was one of the scientists who picked up the phone. He and his colleagues suggested additional screening criteria for the AI. After more elimination rounds, Murugesan’s team ultimately picked one of the AI’s suggestions to synthesise in the lab. It stood out because half of what Murugesan would have expected to be lithium atoms were replaced with sodium. He says that this is a very novel recipe for an electrolyte and that having the two elements together opens questions about the basic physics of how the material works inside a battery.

Seems it wasn't quite so obvious.

Hovercraft troop transports are already A Thing, and a fairly significant modern use of the technology. They're mostly appropriate where there's a need to transport significant numbers of troops across flat-but-variable terrain (snow, ice, water, marsh/swamp), and where there's limited potential for enemy fire (artillery, missile, aircraft attacks).

See: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_Craft_Air_Cushion>

The US have around 100 LCAC and similar vehicles, with a cargo capacity of ~60 tonnes, or 120--180 troops, each.

Hovercraft might prove useful in some cases for traversing minefields, but would be hampered by terrain (hovercraft have poor hill-climbing and slope-traversal characteristics), and might best be utilised after major combat risks are reduced, as part of de-mining operations.

> Self wasn't sufficiently fast?

Self apparently is sufficiently different from Smalltalk-80 so that even today JS engines (which are descendants of the Self engine) are still significanly faster than Cog/OpenSmalltalk. Remember that also Python is known to be pretty resistant to performance improvements. So some languages/VMs apparently are more amenable than others. In my referenced report you can see that there is still nearly a factor two between Pharo (using OpenSmalltalk) and Node.js (using V8). But Pharo is at least faster than LuaJIT, which again is about factor 220 faster than a Smalltalk interpreter which does the caching and inlining described in the Bluebook. So Cog/OpenSmalltalk went a long way to finally be the fastest Smalltalk engine around. A comparison with Smalltalk 72 makes little sense because it was a completely different language and engine.

> Smalltalk-80 played tricks with inlining some block methods such as ifTrue: and whileTrue:

That was just because a convention on lexical level made it possible. Otherwise it's very difficult because a block is just an object and executing it is just a method call on this object via dynamic dispatch; it's not trivial to find out what to inline. If you're interested in the machinery behind the scenes, here are a couple of tools which facilitate an analysis: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk.

In all fairness to this article...

It does look like they are describing a sort of Lithium/Sodium mix rather than a 'pure' Sodium-ion battery, which is (at least to me) slightly novel.

It would then raise a bigger question: If the AI 'came up with it', does that mean that it can't be patented? Or does that depend on whether it came up with the manufacturing technique?
The status quo was seperate software developers and software developers in test, and nearly equal numbers [1] (I haven't read this book, only the description, but seems authoritative).

The new normal changed around 2014, as described in this Ars Technica article [2]. In order to ship more stuff, more quickly, Microsoft eliminated the developer in test roles, removing the bottleneck of a specific role in charge of quality and hoping to diffuse the responsibility.

This addresses the 'fired all testers' part of your quote. I don't have references on the 'scrapped their testing hardware', but I imagine most testing hardware was maintained by developers in test, and when their positions were eliminated, they may not have had anyone to transfer the hardware to.

I think 'environments' was meant, where diff GHA environments get diff secrets, and policies dictate who gets to run what actions with what envs.

But that is real work to setup, audit, and maintain. It'd be better if, like phone app capabilities, the default would be no privs, any privs are explicitly granted, and if they aren't being used, the system detects that and asks if you want to remove specific ones.

If you're at the point you're doing sophisticated cloud cost analysis you are doing the cloud right, because that is completely impossible anywhere else.

I swear the people who say go on premise have no idea how much the salary costs of someone who will not treat their datacenter like a home lab is. Even Apple iCloud is in AWS and GCP because of how economical it is, you suck at the cloud you think you have to go back on prem, or you just don't give a shit about reliability (start pricing up DDoS protection costs at anything higher than 10G and tell me the cloud is more expensive).

We spend 100k+ on AWS bandwidth and it's still cheaper than our DIA circuits because we don't have to pay network engineers to manage 3 different AZs.
"Tire dust makes up the majority of ocean microplastics" (2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37728005

Speaking of that:

It's currently quite futile to put solar panels on clockwork, so they track the sun across the daily sky.

Why? The intensity drops off drastically around a few hours in the core of the day. Spending money on clockwork, to pick up that small change, is a waste of money.

Far more useful, if you simply must have clockwork, is to control azimuth. That is, point at the noon sun as it changes position over the seasons. Get that right, you could double your annualized output perhaps.

Doesn't even really need clockwork. I can be bothered to go out monthly and crank it over a bit by hand.

Yes, of course management is often the problem.

I think it helps when people actually take a step back and understand where the money that pays their salary comes from. Often times people are so ensconced in their tech bureaucracy they think they are the tail that wags the dog. Sometimes the people that are the most hops from the money are the least aware of this dynamic. Bureaucracies create an internal logic of their own.

If I am writing some internal software for a firm that makes money selling widgets, and I decide that what we really need is a 3 year rewrite of my app for reasons, am probably not helping in the sale or the production of widgets. If another team is provisioning hardware for me to write the software on, and it now takes 2 weeks to provision virtual hardware that could take seconds, then they are also not helping in the sale or the production of widgets.

These are the kind of orgs that someone may one day walk into, blast 30% of the staff, and find no impact on widget production, and obvious 30% savings on widget costs...

The Jones Act is a terrible policy from a previous millennium, created by the strange bedfellows of left-wing unionized labor and right-wing autarkic defence hawks.

It is an expensive joke. Just let free competition make everything cheaper, and let the govt directly subsidize whatever it feels is important for national security - operating hulls, some minimum US-flagged capacity in certain categories (cruise liners, bulk carrier, oil tanker), and obviously military shipbuilding tech.

The merchant marine is a resource in times of war - just look at UK requisition of container ships and cruise liners in the Falklands War. Seizing ships under neutral flags would be an act of war.

There needs to be some fallback capacity in domestic shipping, and ship building. But of the two, building is more important than operating, because the first can always trump the latter in a long economic war (all long wars are economic and demographic in outcome).

Repeal the Jones Act now.
Almost entirely US focused. There's one UK mention: "In the UK, supermarket chain Booths has also cut down on the number of self-service kiosks in its stores, as customers say they're slow and unreliable." linking to https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lancashire-67373472

That says "Booths is believed to be the first UK supermarket to move away from using self-service tills, which have become increasingly common in recent years." so yeah, hardly an indication of a widespread UK trend.

To everyone saying AI is the solution to this. You are right but only kind of. Much of the work of modern AI is due to backend labelling and tagging of datasets by humans on services like Mechanical Turk.

So to train the model you have to get hundreds of thousands, or even millions of images of the kind you wish to filter. Then get thousands of humans to look at them and label them. These people will suffer just the same as those interviewed in this article.

Another story on why vendor lock in is bad and you should only build your business on the top of open source products.
if you're large enough (i.e. you have the compute demand and the staff to justify the expense for the latter), OpenStack - you should be able to keep most of your hardware, OpenStack supports everyone and their dog, which is what makes the "find capable operations staff" and "get it running" parts so much more difficult.

It's also an expression of a trend I want to see that goes the opposite direction of usual software practices: very small software made of handmade scripts and orthogonal pieces, such that I can understand it all and build it the way I want. It doesn't do much, but it does exactly what I want the way I want it.
