Being appreciated for accomplishments should be plenty. Apple nearly died back in the 1990s and it was more than anything else the dream of making computers that just worked for people that kept the whole effort going. There were many positive accomplishments along the way including early introduction of wireless internet and the whole smart phone genre. Appreciating those accomplishments for what they are may inspire others to also attempt to push boundaries and make computers ever more empowering.

That Apple went astray was predictable. Working there at the time it was highly notable how when at existential risk people working at the company really came together and then as soon as the money really started to flow work life changed to including nasty office games, backstabbing, sustained efforts to get prime office assignments, and so on.

So, sure. Don't love corporations, but don't waste time hating them or avoid lauding their accomplishments either. Much of our modern world was crafted by them and we haven't yet found any other way. Just be realistic and use good tools for what they are worth.

I don't mind to have ready to use datasets instead the code for downloading/scraping and labeling. It will save a lot of time.

Antarctic ozone depletion? A big problem?

(1) The ozone molecule is O3 and is
unstable so we can have the reaction

2O3 --> 3O2

where ozone returns to just ordinary
oxygen.

(2) Ozone can be generated by sunlight in
the reaction

3O2 --> 2O3

(3) For ~6 months of each year, Antarctica
gets nearly no sunlight.

(4) For ~6 months of the rest of the year,
Antarctica has sunlight for 24 hours a
day.

Soooo, for about half of each year
Antarctica generates ozone and for the
rest of the year "depletes" ozone. We
expect this.

(5) Ozone absorbs UV (ultraviolet)
radiation from the sun. UV radiation can
cause skin cancer.

Apparently some laboratory experiments
have confirmed that CFCs
(Chlorofluorocarbons) speed up the
depletion reaction.

It might take careful, difficult science
to say in kilograms how much ozone is
depleted by how many kilograms of CFCs and
how much in Watts and percentage UV
results.

I am unsure about such careful, difficult
science.

But I am fully sure about some people
forming quasi religious, fanatical,
extreme, unscientific movements based
on claims that greedy, irresponsible, evil
humans are destroying the delicate, pure,
pristine, fragile planet we need for human
life and, in the process, getting
publicity from the media and money and
power from political systems. Since the
media likes to get eyeballs, ad revenue,
and influence by writing stories about
evil and disaster, we get stories about
ozone depletion -- to me such stories have
low credibility. No surprise since to me
the media fails even common high school
standards for term papers and has very low
credibility -- worse than just "low
credibility" since I have to conclude that
commonly the media is trying to trick,
fool, deceive, and lie to me, do me harm,
etc.

As we have seen in the US, the media
stories can result in money and power from
the political systems. The stories are
old, go back at least to the claims of
Chicken Little that the sky is falling and
... to the Mayans who killed people to
pour their blood on a rock to keep the sun
moving across the sky [1].

In short: There is ozone depletion over
Antarctica? No surprise since for ~6
months of the year, Antarctica gets nearly
no sunlight. What about ozone depletion
over the US, e.g., likely the largest
source of CFCs? Somehow the CFCs from the
US generate legs and run ASAP down to
Antarctica? And, no, I won't send all my
money now or vote for some politician who
wants to give money and power to protect
ozone in Antarctica.

It's a bit hard to imagine this specific problem existing outside of the Microsoft ecosystem.

He is an incredibly talented director and storyteller. I can understand why his well documented history of sexual misconduct may not feel relevant. Apparently, the situation was so bad that Disney assigned a "minder" to him to keep him out of trouble.

On the other hand, his great creative talent should not diminish the fact that he was a creep of a boss if you happened to be female.

He's a complex person. If we want to talk about the great things he has done, I think we should also remind ourselves of the bad stuff.

Works like a charm.

Messes up the quotation if some people top-quote and other bottom-quote in the same conversation, but do people in 2024 seriously read the quoted text when every halfway decent email client remembers the entire conversation and/or thread? Quoted text is noise anyway, especially if coming from laymen with Outlook with half a dozen lines of disclaimers, logo and signatures repeated and quoted every email.
I saw a fairly large estate agency system that bcc’d every outgoing email from their system to a shared account everybody then synced to Outlook. It was part audit log, part debugging tool, part database backup.

They changed when they realised employees were taking all their customers’ details to new jobs.
This seems different.

It pins goroutine until it is explicitly released ensuring that multiple native calls will remain on the same platform thread and nothing else is going to use it.
This is critical for namespace manipulation on Linux.

Java only pins for duration of native call and synchronized blocks.

It looks like Java does not offer equivalent API?
For now could be achieved with synchronized but if synchronized will be changed in the future to not pin it would break.
Is this about Stallman? I don't consider him to have done anything wrong, and so yes I sure do use gcc, and do at least prefer as little js as possible though I simply have no control over that, and in fact never use uber, and specifically because of the company, even though it would be convenient.

Of course you can't do any of this 100% because the world is interconnected and interdependent and countless infinite things are indirect.

But so what? You can still care and still try and still exert your own one-persons share of influence, even if it's only avoiding Amazon when you can, instead of just buying everything through them.

That is worth doing and 100% better than not caring and not bothering, and the value isn't invalidated by being impossible to be absolute.

If you ever find yourself thinking this, you are definitely always wrong. The world is a very big place with lots of people in it and some of them really are incredibly dumb. Example?

No matter how outlandish and ostentatiously ridiculous something seems to be I _guarantee_ there is someone out there who is dumb enough.

Great post! I've gone through a similar experience after selling a business a few years ago. I especially liked your "offense vs defense" point on cash flows.

Personally I feel that the patent is far too broad, but I appreciate and respect your answer.
I understand where you are coming from, but without comparing the generated assembly, we are comparing an implementation of bounds checks. I think we should have a bounds check instruction and operates concurrently.

It is certainly unfair to growers if supermarkets are reneging on purchase agreements. But the link you sent has just a single anecdotal "case study", and the site seems to be a marketing site for an organic food box supplier. Hardly by itself evidence of a systemic problem.

Besides, if a purchase agreement falls though with produce already grown, normally what happens is the produce is sold on the wholesale market instead. In that case, growers might receive a lower price, perhaps resulting in a loss, but that's not as bad as leaving it "to rot" and getting nothing at all.

Produce would typically only be dumped in the case of a huge market glut (when prices are so low that it is not even worth harvesting/transporting them), or if there are labour shortages making it difficult or uneconomical to harvest.
What could be was already in my questions ;)

>kids have basically gone from asset to liability

Peter Zeihan said the same thing. we need kids when the majority of society works on farms. today's kids are more expensive and less helpful.

China is following the same path as the Asian Tigers (Taiwan, South Korea...etc.) and Japan as the Chinese got more wealth. Chinese are unwilling to have more kids plus the One Child policy works too well.
> however that solution only works because we have a non AI system to prove correctness.

I'm not sure why you are calling it non-AI. There's no reason why some AI system has to be some single neural network like GPT and not a hacked together conglomeration of a bunch of neural networks and symbolic logic systems. Like is it cheating to use a SAT solver? Is a SAT solver itself not artificial intelligence of a kind?
If you do, please use a semicolon; that's a comma splice.
Our government isn't authoritarian. It has executive function (and certainly a degree of corruption) but also an obligation to it's citizens. If you spend trillions (or even just millions) of taxpayer dollars without democratic oversight, you'll probably get investigated.

There is the whole "monopoly of violence" concept but that only works because lawmaking is largely a democratic process. It's harder for the government to agree on a 50 billion dollar transaction than it is for private citizens to do the same thing. There's ample reason to fear both, and I wouldn't suggest that individual agency and concentrations of wealth "pales in comparison" to government power (unless you're discussing combined-arms warfare).

The most upvoted answer gives the explanation the ball manufacturer is Swedish ('axe' in Swedish starts with a 'y'), but other answers say it was probably manufactured in a country where English wasn't the first language (e.g. China) and the 'y' for axe was simply a typo.

The evidence against the Swedish explanation is that the ball says c for 'cat' and d for 'dog', but in swedish the translations are 'katt' and 'hund' respectively.

This may be a case where the most upvoted answer is likely wrong, but because it was so entertaining and took so much effort, it was upvoted much more than the boring (but probably correct) answer.

EDIT: I had only skimmed the most upvoted answer, it does indeed trace the ball's manufacture to China and suggest the 'y for axe' is a typo. Apologies for the confusion.
