I think delaying is the point. You delay the “immediateness” so you can form a nuanced opinion without urgency.

I know we can’t always change the world we live in, but we can at least acknowledge it. In the corporate world people really like to pretend there is a fire, when few things are truly urgent. If you can keep the sky from falling down with a quick and small scoped decision, you free up time to make big and long term decisions slowly.

This answer is the problem. You are advocating locking up and harassing who ever you feel like. No evidence or guilt necessary. You think that’s better? You would love it in Russia. Haven’t we just seen recently an example of someone dying in jail from the same sort of attitude?

You are also making a deadly assumption that these people only do these things to bad people. Answer whether you think it would be fine to harrass you for ten years if you were unlucky enough to have moved next to someone that got convicted of growing weed. 13 years later, after the prosecutor lied to the court he couldn’t name one thing that we ever did to that neighbour.

The most recent ones that I ran into seem to have been fixed based on a quick check. mermaid.js docs site was one of them where nothing on the page was clickable (I think Firefox was rendering an invisible div over the entire page) but this issue wasn't present in Chrome or Safari. That appears to have been fixed. Examples are hard to provide since they almost always get fixed but in the moment its enough pain to always get me to drop Firefox.
But still, why there is no absolute 0 - the third zero? I would prefer something like this:

1 / +0 == +inf
1 / -0 == -inf
1 / 0 == nan
abs(-0) == 0

But it is not possible as there is no unsigned/absolute zero: 0 means +0. I guess it makes things much simpler, but IMHO it makes it a bit less useful and strange.
They did. Have a look at the spreadsheet from the report. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range has a Green Score of 64. Not sure where they pulled the chart from in the NYT article, but it would still fall at 11; just off the list. The actual data if sorted by "Green Score" (tried to look up the scoring methodology but the website is down: https://greenercars.org/news/2024-methodology-update) looks like this before you hit the first Tesla (when removing duplicates and similar models).

Is that an official, Apple-specific policy written down somewhere? That doesn't seem right, and doesn't match other similar companies.

I've known people at Facebook and Microsoft who were working on upcoming not-yet-released products and were free to talk about the products and their roles on them. These people, much like the person we're discussing, worked on upcoming projects which had already been publicly announced.

Of course publicly discussing a confidential project that no one knows about could get someone fired, but that's not the scenario we're talking about.

IQ tests being invalid is more politics than science. Among other things, rejecting the existence of cognitive inequality is necessary to justify systemic racism via the continued existence of Asian quotas (Affirmative Action). Since lots of people benefit from this racism, there’s a huge interest in denial. In western countries, when there’s a few billion people in Asia, and you let a tiny amount in gatekeeping them on the basis of education/wealth/skills, it isn’t really all that much of a shock that they and their children are smarter then average. The only way this could NOT happen is if Asians were LESS intelligent than other groups on average.

IQ tests are hilariously predictive of success if you’re doing a task which is similar to taking an IQ test like academics. They strongly indicate certain mental disorders. Low IQ is more predictive of success than High IQ. Maybe people take the difference between scoring a FSIQ of 110 vs 140 entirely too seriously, but the difference between somebody with 60 vs 90 is staggering.

Being in the civil engineering / construction world - no, 5 years tops for "constructing pretty much anything" is not realistic. If 5 years is the horizon, I'd expect to be seeing pretty advanced proofs of concept right now, with field laborers shadowing robots performing QA/QC tasks. None of this is happening in land development or municipal construction from what I've seen.

Consider gravity wastewater installation, which is a fairly simple activity: you've got crews who 1) clear and grub the land 2) perform mass grading 3) either use trenchers or excavators to dig a trench, then backfill to allow for installation at a later time 4) utility installation crew mobilizes begins installation. 5) backfill in lifts with a geo firm taking compaction densities. This is a simplification and omits inspection staff, OSHA safety concerns (because in a world with robots, humans will still need some construction oversight and provisions for safety).

I have not seen these separate activities incorporate AI robots into any of their tasks. Not to say it won't get here eventually, but it's not gonna be 5 years.

guilty as charged. it gets worse, though: meters are originally based on the size of the earth, but humboldt's expedition (?) fucked up the measurement and now we're stuck with a meter that's significantly too short, nominally defined as the distance light travels in 9192631770/299792458 cycles of the hyperfine transition radiation frequency of cesium-133. you probably think this is a goddamned joke but it's not

i ask you, what the fuck kind of number is 9192631770? is that a hexadecimal encoding of linus torvalds's first child's birthdate? no, it's just a random fucking number derived from the sumerian base 60 numbering system and the average rotational speed of the earth in the 20th century. the kelvin has a similarly filthy history; it's when the thermal energy changes by 1.380649e-23 joules, because that makes the triple point of water come out to 273.16 kelvins. so now we have to preserve those numbers for all eternity like they're the fucking holy writ of the priestesses at delphi in order to interpret scientific papers from the 19th and 20th century.

I’ve slowly turned from a quick witted guy to a much slower guy. I don’t think it’s a problem actually. My previous quick-witted self was capable of being quick-witted because I made a shit ton of assumptions about the way the world works. Now I’m constantly rethinking and questioning things I wouldn’tve before, which of course makes me a less snappy thinker.

The benefits are obvious to me: while I may have presented myself better in the past, I was prioritizing my presentation over being right, and eventually those snappy comments would come back to bite me. Now my life is much more exciting and varied. I find myself learning a lot more and being a lot more excited about the world.

Yesterday, I tested building a Streamlit app, and it was incredibly user-friendly. The only hiccup was aligning the compatible pyairbyte version for the connector with Poetry. Apart from that, it worked like a charm.
From the article:

> I once cared for a woman in her sixties who had severe chest and abdominal pain from a bowel obstruction that had ruptured her colon, caused her to have a heart attack, and put her into septic shock and renal failure. I performed an emergency operation to remove the damaged length of colon and give her a colostomy. A cardiologist stented her coronary arteries. We put her on dialysis, a ventilator, and intravenous feeding, and stabilized her. After a couple of weeks, though, it was clear that she was not going to get much better. The septic shock had left her with heart and respiratory failure as well as dry gangrene of her foot, which would have to be amputated. She had a large, open abdominal wound with leaking bowel contents, which would require twice-a-day cleaning and dressing for weeks in order to heal. She would not be able to eat. She would need a tracheotomy. Her kidneys were gone, and she would have to spend three days a week on a dialysis machine for the rest of her life.

On Valentine's day this year, I had to put my 13 y/o cat to sleep. I had taken him to the vet 3 weeks ago because he couldn't poop a couple of times in the last 2 months. When this happened, he'd quit eating and drinking, was vomiting up bile, and hid under a blanket. The first time I gave him an appetite stimulant and hairball treatment recommended by the vet, which worked, but he still didn't poop for a few days. He finally did, and the thing that came out was triangle-shaped, 1 3/4" on the longest side and 1 1/2" on the other 2. It was crazy. The 2nd time it was similar though not as large. I took him to the vet after this 2nd incident (he was doing okay) and the vet explained that in a 13-y/o cat, their kidneys get weak, don't concentrate their urine as well, and the cat loses too much water in their urine. They have to compensate by drinking a lot, which my other cat, a couple of years older, does. The vet said to try the hairball lube 3x a day instead of 2 and I tried to get the cat to drink more. The vet said if it happens again, I could drop off the cat and he could knock him out, inject some saline into his rectum, massage his abdomen to break up the stool, get it out, etc.

It happened again. The cat was obviously miserable for a couple of days. I took him to the vet with a written list of the kinds of problems the cat and I were going through: not eating, not drinking, poop drips all over the house, constantly trying to use the litter box but unable to, hiding under blankets, etc.

The vet said he could treat him as he said before, but since this was likely a chronic condition, I'd probably be back in less than a month for the same thing. I was prepared to put the cat to sleep when I took him to the vet: it was awful seeing him suffer and likely in pain. When we decided to do it, I told the vet "At least with Niko there is the option of ending it. If this were happening to me, I'm not sure I'd have that option."

It's awful to me that we force people and their families to suffer physically, emotionally, and financially and are kinder to our pets that we are to people.
I'm sure there are better ways to deal with this.
You have to be careful with this because sometimes the people who create the solution (censorship) are also the ones creating the problem. I'm not saying that's the case.. But if we don't want a completely censored internet in the next few years we have to be careful.

Oh interesting. I actually find custom docs sites (mermaid.js was the most recent one for me) seem to be the ones that break most commonly for me in Firefox but work in Chrome and Safari.
Although I disagree with some of the details, I think this type of approach to domain modeling is some of the most valuable work software engineers can do; in fact it's the type of analysis and rigor that justifies the word "engineer" in the title of "software engineer". But I do have two important points to add:

1. Don't restrict yourself to "common" types when you're thinking this way -- all of domain modeling can be approached this way. Working on a Pizza Ordering app? Think about the properties of various operations in your domain and how they are related to mathematical structures. Are they commutative, well-orderable, equatable, multiplicative, scalar, groups/rings/fields, monoids? Are there changes you can make that would allow your operations to have desirable properties? This stuff genuinely does pay off down the road when you want to expand your ideas or re-use your code on something else.

But be careful: not all useful mathematical structures have names or show up in textbooks! The goal is not to map your domain to things that mathematicians have named, it's just to understand it at this level (and get your code to understand it at this level too). If you find yourself arguing over whether it's actually a vector space, a tensor space, or an affine space, then stop worrying about external definitions and re-focus on the properties of your domain. Arguments about how your domain works are good; arguments about exactly what other mathematicians have written are bad.

2. This post is focused on getting the compiler to understand these concepts, but there's still a lot of value in explicitly modeling them in code even if it's "runtime checked" instead of compile-time checked. Many of these techniques end up requiring higher-kinded types to really get the compiler on board, which unfortunately most languages today don't support. But that doesn't mean you should change the abstraction, it just means you get a lower (or later) level of checking.
Matt, if I had a dollar for every time I used the saying "juggling glass balls vs rubber balls," I'd be a millionaire. Prioritization is fundamental to efficiency, and inevitably you won't be able to juggle all the balls thrown your way. This is where it's critical to know which rubber balls can be dropped without breaking and which glass balls require constant juggling. I wholeheartedly agree with your points about recency -- now I just have to learn how to translate what I'll call "efficient procrastination" to my boss! Btw, nothing feels better than deleting a useless task; it's like free therapy for the brain.
Why not encourage the use of smart pointers?
My guess is worse bureaucracy and lower average engineering skill. These things matter.
As sibling comments have mentioned, "operator" here is being used in the programming language sense of the word, not the mathematical sense. Using the name "mod" [as in mod(a,n)] or "modulo" for the mapping that takes integers to a particular representative of its equivalence class in Z/nZ ("integers modulo n") doesn't seem like an unreasonable choice to me.

Yep, correct. As many have pointed out in this thread though, HVAC is full of trade offs. I COULD get a bigger heat exchanger.. Although my furnace is already a 5 ton unit. The question is, in the Ozarks, where I am, are the 1-4 days a year where it's too cold to run the heat pump worth paying the extra money for the larger system?

I added an efficient wood stove instead. There's a good tax rebate that covers installation as well - I took advantage of that last year.

Its fair that a rails controller does not exactly screams what its doing (implicit view rendering, routing etc).

But then, for someone not deep into react, a magic string like "use server" also does not clarify anything.

Also, he argues that just because you can it does not mean you should scatter sql queries around your views. But again, just because you can do a bunch of implicit stuff on a Rails controller it does not mean you should.

The language defining the Celsius unit originally was:
"The arbitrary points which coincide on the two scales are 0° and 100°"

Those distances are arbitrary, and not specifically moored on the anchors of 0 and 100. Kelvin units are moored however on a fundamental anchor of zero heat energy, with arbitrary sized units above. It happens they were later calibrated to the Boltzmann constant, which itself is anchored on the triple point of water. None of this is based on human experience.
