I've had terrible experience with intercities train with delays that were more than 25% of the length of the trip. Once I was waiting for a train that was an hour late. The next train on the same line even arrived before the train I was waiting.

I've traveled in a lot of countries and used train in a lot of them, none of them have been quite as bad as DB when it comes to reliability.

And the recent articles that claim only around 60% of trains arrive on time bears that.

Today's culture indeed exaggerates what a trauma is, but politics is a bad area to argue about it. Politics can cause wars, deaths, suffering for millions of people. It is a real trauma, just anticipated in the future.
Yeah, one thing I am afraid of is that forums will decide to join the Discord chatrooms on the deep web : stop being readable without an account, which is pretty catastrophic for discovery by search engines and backup crawlers like the Internet Archive.

Anyone with forum moderating experience care to chime in ? (Reddit, while still on the open web for now, isn't a forum, and worse, is a platform.)
"robust" also means robust communication about ongoing behaviour - scheduled maintenance, impact of external issues on Cloudflare and/or their customers where known, state and progress of break/fix work.

While it is nice to propose "failure-free" systems in principle it's also utterly unrealistic, Titanic clues for that in the historical record.

Cloudflare runs a public bug bounty program for over a decade, you know ? If you found a way to impact their network large scale they would like to hear from you, https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/disclosure/ - they will respond to you.

(ex-cloudflarian, and while I would agree that their marketing contains as much hot air as anyone's, I'd assert their network and infrastructure is built&run by people who really understand, and who really want to help build a better internet. They will engage with you)
Why can't programmers keep it as simple as dependencies: use system libraries?

The reason is control. If you want your stuff to align neatly and look good in the details you need to define a font. And there is no single system font you can truly rely on, so you just bring your own.

I'd be very happy if OS creators could agree on one set of universally supported system fonts, preferably open source, that work on all systems — until then your two options are:

- not caring about good design, giving up control and using whatever (sometimes this is a feasible option)

- caring about design and using your own font

Lucky you! It's some of the best content on the internet. My favourite blog for sure. Same guy has continued on with his writing at https://www.astralcodexten.com which is also pretty good but doesn't reach the same highs.

What's wrong with it in context though is that as great as it is, it's just some guys blog. It's disconcerting that people would be working on technology they think is more dangerous than nuclear weapons and basing their approach to safety on a random blog post.

Although it's disconcerting to think of a committee deciding how it's approached, or the general public, or AI loving researchers, so it might just be a disconcerting topic.

If OpenAI or just Ilya think Scott is the best man to have thinking about it though, I would have at least liked them to pay him to do it full time. Blogging isn't even Scott's full time job, and the majority of his stuff isn't even about AI.

At the risk of only being tangentially on topic, I want to recount a story about how sleazy financial institutions will be with their fees if given the opportunity. This happened to me with Fifth Third Bank; I knew it was sketchy as hell and it infuriated me at the time.

On several occasions I would overdraw my debit account, notice the issue and deposit money, and then continue to make purchases with the newly available funds. Despite having sufficient funds, at the end of each day, Fifth Third Bank would reorder the day's transactions to maximize the overdraft penalties, as if all of them had been settled while overdrawn. Their customer support team would pretend this was actually beneficial to customers and launch into a nonsensical explanation where one of the terms involved was, literally, "the matrix." So you'd be sitting on the phone in disbelief as they talked about "the matrix."

Anyway, there was eventually a class action lawsuit over it. Ever since then, my inclination is to regulate the hell out of these sleazy institutions. They clearly can't be trusted to act in good faith.

Translating that doesn't seem to take very long though. Looked up an example, Sweden voted to enter EU 13 nov 1994, and legally entered and had thus finished incorporating that into their legislation 1 jan 1995, so 1.5 months at most. Not sure what 5.5 years means, maybe they meant the total amount of working years in manhours saved?

I think this is more designed for streamed output rather than viewing files. Vim doesn't seem to support that, in fact it just says "Vim: Reading from stdin..." forever.
We will have to go back to using trust in the source as the main litmus test for credibility. Text from sources that are known to have humans write (or verify) everything they publish in a reasonably neutral way will be trusted, the rest will be assumed to be bullshit by default.

It could be the return of real journalism. There is a lot to rebuild in this respect, as most journalism has gone to the dogs in the last few decades. In my country all major newspapers are political pamphlets that regularly publish fake news (without the need for any AI). But one can hope, maybe the lowering of the barrier of entry to generate fake content will make people more critical of what they read, hence incentivizing the creation of actually trustworthy sources.
The US were much less a factor in WW1 than WW2. If anything, the US entry forced the Entente's hands to start the planned 1919 offensive early in 1918 and ending the war. The USA did not contribute a large amlint of troops, relative to the armies already deployed, nor did they contribute significant amounts of gear. Lend-Lease was a WW2 thing, in WW1 the majority of US tanks for example were actually French.

The US were a economic power prior to WW1, they only became a true super power during WW2, in particular after Pearl Habour. The full mobilization of society, industry and science made sure of this. This, and the fact the US won the Pacific.

I know it is a popular view of WW1, that it was only the US entry that won it for the Entente. Simply not true, WW1 is not WW2. And even WW2 was not won by the US alone.

Finally, the US war economy of WW2 was decidedly not free, is was a complete structured war eceonomy with production goals set by the government. The implementation of those goals was capitalistic, but not free.

It's way more complex than that.

The Communist Manifesto was published during the Great Famine in Ireland, and that famine was much worse than it needed to be because the UK government didn't intervene.

And a big part of the growth in capitalist societies is related to corporate structures, which are small scale collectives, with bosses who make decisions for all.

When the US civil war happened, that resulted in the North collectively imposing the decision that nobody had the "business freedom" to own slaves; much to the dismay of the south and I presume joy of the enslaved.

USSR famously bad, but (a) even though it started from very poor conditions thanks to the Tsars, developed to beat the USA to orbit, (b) the collapse of it, replacing communism with capitalism, regressed their economy and living standards.

And that's why no country is entirely either collective nor individualist, and also separately neither capitalist nor communist (both anarcho-capitalists and anarcho-communists are a thing, just as both can be dictatorial).

My opinion is that as both capitalism and communism were formalised over a century before Nash game theory, both are wrong — they assume that people, when free, make choices that are good for all.

This text doesn’t make much sense, on the one hand the author argues that software written in C is robust, on the other hand the author admits that he has unknown bugs lurking in his own project.

One bug took several months to track down. This is cognitive dissonance at its finest.
I'm not disagreeing on your overall point, but it can be done (I've done it with 130+, so there's a lot of incumbent process and numerous senior managers to align).

The key is having a champion who can tie change in with higher level desires.

In these orgs there's often an external (as in stakeholders external to prod eng) perception that "engineering is slow, product doesn't deliver, they're preventing us delivering our OKRs", and that can be used as leverage for change.

You can't go dark and stop delivery, but you can usually carve out a 10 - 20% allowance for change (that doesn't sound much, but is 1 - 2 days every 2 weeks, which quickly adds up). Start small, show success in impacting metrics that external stakeholders care about, then next quarter push for more.

Some numbers here: https://wavesplitter.com/technical-column/latency-and-power-...

> Cable latency is about 5ns/m, so 2.6 µs is equivalent to latency of a 520m cable. This latency might become a big issue for the HPC-based applications.
> Even with optimizations enabled, the output of C code is usually much closer to the source (e.g. more "recognisable") than (for instance) highly abstracted C++ or Rust code.

That's usually true, but you can write C++ and Rust codes that more closely map to machine code as well. Most C code exhibits that only because you can't have enough abstractions to disrupt that mapping. It is good when you do need that kind of correspondence, but most applications rarely need them, and even performance-sensitive applications don't need them all the time. C does give you a knob, but that knob is stuck in a lower but not lowest position.
When I was a student, I struggled learning algorithmic because we had to code in C. Luckily we had a wonderful teacher who listened to us, students, and switched his teaching to Pascal. That was a big relief to all of us.

I believe language like Pascal and Python are good to initiate you to algorithmic. After that, I agree you would need to dive into languages such as C, Rust and why not Assembly language to have a better understanding of your machine.

In our case, after one year of coding with Pascal, we spent the remaining years in focusing on C and C++ (Builder)

After that, it's time to move to pragmatic choices (job market requirements in terms ofdevelopment stack)

I don't have studies but we found that "teach your monster to read" was great and enjoyed. It's UK focussed, about learning to read phonetics. It's essentially a series of mini-games tying a story together, and it was very engaging for my son at a similar age.

>It's always interesting to me how people find bad math bugs in the RNG in old games that have been deconstructed.

Yes, but so what? The point of videogames is to be fun, not have a true random RNG. Often such small bugs in the code were part of the gameplay and finding and exploiting them was part of the fun/competition.

And since games are usually rushed out the door to meet the November pre-Chrismas sale bonanza, everything that's good enough gets shipped. Making your RNG even better won't increase sales.
This was actually a fascinating read. I found it quite relatable and explanatory of an earlier time in my life where I was accidentally self-harming myself by being obsessed with certain emotionally topics before finally quitting cold turkey.
No, but for designers designing with an unknown/potentially changing font is more work and produces less good looking results. So unless there is a set of reliable cross-platform system fonts there is zero incentive for designers to use system fonts for commercial projects.

If you have ever worked in design the absolute horror is if you designed something well and then the boss of the org tou did it for opens it on their IE6 and it looks like shit. This is a similar problem.

Some people who are against abortion do not consider a fetus as part of the mother's body, so this is not unambiguously an issue of bodily autonomy. Should the declaration not at least be amended to state that a fetus is part of a mother's body then?

Yeah, for real. Isn’t the entire point of cryptocurrency (or at least a key principle) to be resistant to censorship / centralized attempts to “kill” it? I don’t doubt that there is some damage that could be done to crypto as a whole by governments taking steps to “ban” it, but I don’t think we can put the toothpaste back in the tube here.

I suppose the highest leverage card that legislators could play to try to hurt cryptocurrency would be to put a stranglehold on the fiat currency on/off ramps (eg making businesses like coin base flat out illegal), but even after doing that peer to peer markets would survive (albeit likely after also taking some damage to user base, maybe).

Depends on the platform. Android is still super rough (expect debugging custom third-party experimental compiler build scripts).

Yes, transparency is perhaps the most important check against power. We are constantly told by governments and corporations alike that there is some dire safety reason they have to do so much secretly, and while rare exceptions where this may actually be true for some temporary situation do exist (often the case in wars, perhaps, though not decades after the fact as governments so often allege), it's clear that this is often a lie told for the obvious reason that this secrecy allows powerful people to act without this check. We only get told the lie in the first place because this secrecy breaks expectations of transparency; often - as with openAI - breaks promises that were previously made

So we have them airing their dirty laundry because a billionaire sued them for his own petty reasons, having planned to break the promises the organization made that he's now suing them over in a similar way. Billionaire is hypocrite, news at eleven. This doesn't exonerate the organization. I hope this suit makes people angry. I hope it makes it harder to get away with this facile and infantilizing line about keeping people in the dark to protect them

In reference to the EU legislating, Amazon will just seek/get revenue gains elsewhere. It won’t be immediate, it won’t be obvious, but it will happen.

Take EU261, which caused issues for smaller airlines, leading to less competition, increased fares. There are also claims it’s affecting safety [0]. I’m not against EU261 per se, but it’s healthy to be critical of large institutions like the EU.

People, I find, cheer about new EU legislation but then forget to look think about any consequences a few years down the road.

Where is the EU’s own critical evaluation and performance review of EU261, especially given it’s been heavily revised through case law over the years?
