Hold on you are an economist and are telling me the difference between a capacity factor of 95 and 85% is not relevant? What do you think the ROIs and margins are for nuclear investments? Considering that nuclear is almost completely dominated by upfront investment, I'd be surprised if the that difference is not the difference between comfortably making a profit on your investment and loosing a large amount of money.

That army of “low-skilled” workers are highly skilled machine operators.

CNC programming isn’t generally performed by engineers—it is currently mostly performed by veteran machine operators.

To get enough veteran machine operators who have the skill and talent to program at the level necessary for high-precision consumer goods, you need quite the workforce pool.

And then add in all the other CNC machinists and manufacturing engineers you need for the auxiliary industries (tooling, molding, the machines themselves) and it starts to add up.

Don’t forget every other industry that is competing for this labor pool.

I think its less anti-competitive corporations and more that recycling most things just isnt cost effective. I find it hard to believe someone in the supply chain is making a killing by amassing large quantities of cheap plastic or lithium batteries.
The difference is that forefoot running is harder, but _simpler_. You dont even need highly engineering shoes to run using it, especially barefoot. You can run on bare metal.

The law doesn't protect a company in the world you laid out, internal compliance and controls do. A sales rep in a company with bad controls may well do exactly what you laid out.

Even businesses care about the distinction between OSI-approved and SSPL/BUSL licensed code bases. In the latter, they often cannot host services that use BUSL licensed code which puts risks on the business. Some examples:

Do they need to consult with a lawyer to understand if their particular use case is acceptable?

If not now, then how do they know when that threshold is met?

When the service is offered for revenue?

Or only when offered directly to customers?

What about if theirs is a consulting-structured business e.g., IBM or Collins, where any internally service provided to another team is billed and paid for internal to the company (even though its not paid for by an external customer)?

Can they hire developers to contribute to the code when the upstream is unresponsive to their bugs/features? Or, if they have to integrate with other custom internal infrastructure/tooling? Are they free to remix these tools into larger projects of theirs?

It is possible to separate the moralizing aspects of these licenses and articulate concerns strictly in business cases that make them unsuitable for OSI and thus not "open source" in spirit.

Of course it's not in the long-term monetary interest of big tech to force users into subpar experiences. Nobody cares about the long-term at a public company, because you can just sell your stocks as long as doom is at least a quarter away. In many cases the subpar user experiences are in service of short-term monetary interests, which the stock market (and by extension, your management chain) very much cares about. It also probably doesn't matter all that much, as the only thing that matters in business is transactions, and relatively few users are going to quit using Reddit because the client sucks compared to the third-party options.

The "here, run ads in your third-party app and we'll give you a cut" business model has been tried, and is actually pretty successful. Try for example AdSense or an Android F2P game or AdMob. The difference is that the app itself is usually branded separately from the ad network, so users know they are using the 3rd party app and not the main service. I think that's the main concern for say a 3rd-party Twitter or Reddit client - at some point a critical mass of users start to think of say RIF as "Reddit", what's stopping them from redirecting their client at a new service and cutting off the real Reddit backend? This was basically how Imgur started, as "Image hosting for Reddit" and then they became a site in their own right.
Works out well for the legislature too. Plenty of topics to campaign on. Plenty of chance to grandstand on social media, in hearings, in the regular media. Get re-elected while solving no problems. "Half" the population will always vote for you because the alternative is socialist/fascist. It's a version of the lazy google engineer [1] that makes less money but has potential for national fame and maybe some insider trading.

If the legislature was getting screwed by this arrangement there would be a lot less deadlock in congress and the power of the judicial branch would be relatively less. And somehow this take is somehow less cynical then yours? What a world we live in.

This is why I’m a bit vexed by all the hype around LLMs. It reminds me of talking to a friend’s mother who was suffering from dementia - she could have a perfectly lucid conversation with you and then segue into stories that were obviously fictions that existed only within her head. She was a nice lady, but not someone who you would hire to represent your company; she was considered disabled.

Awhile back another commenter called them a “demented Clippy” which about sums them up for me.

I think you missed a fine point in my comment. Seeking to avoid offending absolutely everyone who reads your article is fruitless. Sometimes the point is to offend, and that, too, has its time and place.

It's when you start adding a paragraph defending your decision to offend your audience that you should give some thought to whether that is, in fact, why you're writing. If it isn't, don't. The author wasn't writing to piss off the FOSS community, that wasn't the topic, just the outcome. Why would I give credence to someone's opinions about open source if they flagrantly refer to things which aren't open source using that term? If you can't get the basics right, you have nothing to say which I want to hear.

I don't think it has to do with cleanliness per se... might be about legal liability? An unopened package tells you that it's there as-is from the manufacturer. It seems more like it's about ensuring the product's integrity through the chain of custody than anything else.
Not defending Twitter per se but I’ve seen partial to full nudity in YT recommendations after watching fairly innocuous but popular videos.

For lack of a better term to describe it if you watch enough “normie” videos it seems to start showing you anything with a high view count. Watch 100 silly cat videos and it will start recommending you celebrities and football and ofc naked girls. YMMV but that’s what I’ve seen. Worse if you aren’t logged in.

All that you've done there is allow different event-streams resulting in the same state to be represented in different ways. Which is just bad design.

Technically you could also have the even worse situation of equal event-streams leading to different states, but being represented the same way. If you think that won't happen you don't understand concurrency well enough.

If you want to deal with event streams I'd start from the basic state machine:

state :: event -> state
I dont know what all he says, but recycling plastic absolutely is not cost effective and it cant be reused for most purposes. And to top it off, we’re now finding all sorts of bad news about microplastics which are exacerbated by recycling them (heating, shredding, etc.)
Exactly this. I feel like LLMs are great for so many things and have a crap ton of real-world use cases. But for simple FAQs, there's so many better and cheaper solutions out there.
You are choosing that, and that is admirable. But in a democratic-socialist country (pick pretty much and country in Europe with the possible exception of Switzerland), that is not an employer being nice, but is the law so it is not up to the employer to decide if their employees get that or not.
Perception is reality in many cases.

I have family who got sucked into Q-related stuff, and this kind of over-the-top ominous imagery is all over the telegram channels they are addicted to.

Many people in these circles take it very seriously, and Jan 6 is a bit of a counterpoint to the lack of interesting-ness, IMO. It shows what can happen when people buy in fully, and I think it’s best to see these memes not as a representation of what is, but a representation of what some people are trying to bring about.
So - The big question...

Is the fork going to allow you to change the nginx Server response header (A PAID feature in the current fork...) without requiring you to mod it in and recompile it? :p

Yes - You read that correctly. They refuse to accept PR's to add additional functionality because that functionality is restricted to the paid version :p
I agree with you on a lot of this, but I don't think it matters if we get better at recycling paper because paper is renewable and the more paper we need, the more trees are farmed, that wouldn't be farmed otherwise. It seems like people believe that paper comes from unspoiled ancient rainforests, when really it comes from rotated tree farms in Canada as far as I know. If we recycled paper so well that our demand halved, a lot of those tree farms wouldn't be planted anymore. It seems to me like if paper is dumped in the landfill the carbon those trees capture gets buried underground. Big win.

Also, I'm maybe a monster environmentally thinks utility needs to factor in. Straws are made of plastic because straws are useful and because plastic makes a very good straw. Paper makes a useless one, so they're pointless to even make. So many things use a lot more plastic than straws do, so I sincerely think straws should be the last to go after we've ended plastic water bottles, takeout clamshells, milk cartons, etc. Put all that crap in reusable glass or recyclable aluminum.
I looked up the CPU for one of the devices. It's the same one used in Raspberry Pi 4.

So I think I figured out the secret to him making almost a million dollars a year: he has a privileged background (worked at Google) and somehow that helped him tap into a market of people who don't know that a good price for a Raspberry Pi 4 is $35, not $350 or $400. I can see $65 with a nice case and shipping. Maybe up to $100? But $400 is ridiculous.

Oh sure, if I'm understanding you correctly. It's been a few years since I've wrenched on such code, but IIRC, you can pass any seralizable object you want to the function being executed. We used to pass around an in-memory class object, no problem. The tricky part was control flow, but that wasn't celery's problem.
I think your question is valid! React does have solutions for most of these, but remember that even in Canary, its job is just to sync state between renderer<->DOM events<->data fetching, not to replace your backend.

- Proper data sharing across the UI: Contexts

- Optimistic updates: `useOptimistic`

- Offline only: Can you clarify? React by default is offline only

- Remote syncing, realtime remote syncing, realtime collaboration: `useSyncExternalStore` with a subscribe function that connects to your backend

- Incremental updates: What do you want to update incrementally? You can render the site component for component as they are loaded with Server Components. Otherwise, I don't think React has anything built-in for that.
Not really. The Storm Shadows are programmed externally, the plane just gives the signal to fire.

For the Meteor you would need deep integration into the fire control system, and even into the data links to be able to use it's range as the F-16 radar is not powerful enough.

If it was easy to do, MBDA would have done it and made a lot of money that way.
As an alternative perspective—the government currently spends ridiculous amounts of money* on proprietary software, often having chosen the vendor before the bidding process even begins, shaping the RFP to suit only the chosen vendor. The resulting software produced in these contracts remains entirely proprietary even though it was paid for by taxpayer dollars, so the company that built it is effectively guaranteed a perpetual stream of taxpayer funds since only they are legally able to maintain it.

I would love to see a world in which these gargantuan vendors are put out of business because the government is only allowed to buy software whose source code is released to the taxpayers who funded it.

* EDIT: To quantify "ridiculous":

> Each year, the U.S. government spends over $100 billion on information technology. Most of that will be used to operate and maintain existing systems, including aging—or "legacy"—systems.

I can't think of any version of dystopia that would be defined by "working your comfortable office job from your multi-story family home while experimenting with a multi thousand dollar piece of high tech equipment which can provide virtual experiences the likes of which was mere science fiction just two decades earlier purchased with your own money the month it was released to the public" Certainly no more dystopic than the very idea of remote work in general.

I sort of am being paid to put my plastic in my recycling bin. My garbage company charges $47/quarter for a 35 gallon regular bin, and $22/quarter for a 64 gallon recycling bin.

It would require two regular bins to handle everything, which would be $94/quarter, which is more than the $69/quarter that one regular bin plus one recycling bin costs.
I think they weren't worried about those few hundred bucks so much as precedent resulting in some future liability of millions of dollars when their chatbot misinforms tens of thousands of customers about something.
Yeah totally. LLMs have a lot of awesome use cases. But as chatbots, they need a lot of guardrails, and even then, I'm highly skeptical if they improve the experience over a simple searchable FAQs or docs.
Same here. I moved cities and was looking for a job... I printed a copy of this book and started going through the chapters... This book made me into a software engineer :)
I don’t disagree with you on single use plastics but I think another thing flies under the radar. There is just so much STUFF. Without plastic Id wager people would probably own about 20% of the number of items that they currently do.
As a Go programmer, how often do you check if fmt.Print returned an error? You get to assume that stdout and stderr exist for a start, even if your code is being run in an environment where that makes no sense. And what is the correct behavior for your software when IO errors start happening when you print? In a dev environment, probably crash. But in a production environment? A customers workstation?

Agreed, the single stream is the biggest joke ever. Like, what kind of recycling can you really do with paper covered in food drippings from yogurt containers, food and beverage cans, etc. And what's the exact process for washing those plastic containers just caked in food? And given that they're commingled on the scale of entire buildings or residential blocks, do people really believe that 100% of such large numbers of people meticulously wash their garbage? Personally I would just recycle aluminum and that's it. Everything else is just a roundabout trip to the landfill in the current setup.

I think eventually courts will decide that whatever a chatbot or employee says while working for the company is binding on the company, as long as there was no malicious intent on either the part of the employee or the customer.
You are correct.

The basic breakdown is this:

Lawmaking: Congress

Law Enforcement: The President and all agencies under him

Adjudication and guarantor of due process: Federal Judiciary

Regulations often get confused with law, but they’re not law so much as either 1) guidance as to how that agency interprets the laws that Congress passes within their enforcement domain and will be proceeding with how they enforce it or 2) orders issued by the President or his cabinet as to how an agency lower in the hierarchy is to proceed.

Where the NLRB is being challenged (as had the FTC and SEC has been recently) is that in addition to authorizing the agencies in question, Congress vested them with some limited amount of adjudication powers related to their enforcement domain which have in turn tried to limit access to Article III judicial review by saying you have to go through their internal court processes first before you can get access to the Federal Judiciary to review the case.

If you think that violates separation of powers, Amazon and SpaceX do too. Theoretically handling everything within a single agency might be more efficient, but that’s to the government’s benefit to the detriment of the rights of Amazon and SpaceX to due process and Judicial oversight of the Executive branch.
After seeing Sora, I feel like they should add another 0 to that number.

Unfortunately, how much you pay to recycle is hidden, in your taxes. You kinda need to know how much your cities pays for the recycling, vs trash, for each kind of material. Probably possible, but not easy. (But we know you can get paid for metals.)

As does SourceTree. Also recommended.
Or you can just pass laws, as what Congress was intended for.
