> Of course he's not "totally altruistic"; nobody is. Of course he's self-serving; everyone is all the time. Even the most ostensibly selfless acts have a basis in feeling good about selflessness.
But I don't see how your dichotomy makes any sense. There are selfish poor people. There are altruistic poor people. There are selfish wealthy people. And there are altruistic wealthy people (disregarding blanket denials by far left wackos with emotionally derived selective criticisms of capitalism).

All of this goes without saying.

> Eye-rolling conspiracy theories aside, Bill Gates is absolute proof that someone can be an objectively great businessman and objectively highly altruistic.

The biggest and most glaring difference here is that Bill Gates is not on record attempting to take board control of a for profit company which is attempting to make malaria vaccines (of the many public health efforts he is pushing).

> Seems to me that the impusles which got Musk to where he is an obsession with extreme risk taking, combined with sufficient education and clarity of vision to sometimes bend extreme odds in his favour. History is littered with examples of wealth incinerated in the pursuit of building cars and rockets and it says a lot that he's been associated with a multitude of ultra-unlikely successes.

> Whereas many other billionaires are more directly driven by wealth accumulation, as evidenced by the trappings of extreme wealth which surround them.

None of this has anything to do with the merits of the case and really just comes of a Musk-coddling, a favorite pastime here it seems.
I think this is a really nice idea. I suspect I will continue using mod + {num} but I love the implementation.

I've always liked OS X's distinction between Alt + Tab which switches between App, and then Alt + ~ to switch between the windows of the apps. While using Windows the number of open windows quickly becomes too large for Alt + Tab to be useful for anything more than switching between a handful of recent windows.

But the problem with the OS X implementation is that after you switch to an app switching between windows is like throwing darts in teh dark. There is no overall context available at all.

Using Alt + Tab to switch between workspaces, and with a tiling window a workspace preview also shows you all teh windows in it, and once you switch to a workspace switching to the window you want is trivial, seems like a novel and significantly improved way to handle Alt + Tab navigation.

The mechanism for this is charity. I understand people like to see social welfare programs, but I believe they are inferior to private sector charity because they ignore moral hazard, tend to produce worse outcomes, and are less economically efficient. At the core, welfare steals from all to provide provide for some. This introduces deadweight loss.

I see a future where those displaced by automation are able to retrain with minimal cost or by charitable means. But this also means that current workers should be saving hard for a rainy day, as nobody knows when one may come.

The problem with blaming climate change for extreme weather damage
The Internet Is A Potemkin Village: Proof Of Dead Internet Theory?
Source URL: https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php?threads/the-internet-i...

We should certainly be asking what on earth has happened to the undoubtedly millions of pages of content that people have created over the years about the various aspects of, dangers, and sentiments around climate change. Are they actually there somewhere, in the background, but for some reason inaccessible through Google search? Are they really just gone? We should also be asking: why would Google want everyone to think there are hundreds of millions more results out there than there actually are? In both politics and economics, a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) whose sole purpose is to provide an external façade to a country which is faring poorly, making people believe that the country is faring better. Is Google Search - the foundational product for a company worth $1682 billion in July 2021 - really just a Potemkin village for either the US as a country, the Internet, or Google itself?

Many years of programming here as well, either as a hobby, while studying or for work.

My main driving motivator after 32 years in the industry is that I still love to code and do problem solving. I have been fortunate to have been working on interesting and challenging tasks with very nice people throughout my career.

This basically means they are using userspace Wireguard, such as the go implementation. That is as opposed to the in-kernel wireguard.

The reason to mention conjuring a TCP IP stack out of thin air, is that most of the time the operating system is providing the tcpip stack as part of the kernel. With wireguard go, the tcpip stack is running in user space, meaning it can be created in a normal user space process such as the flyctl command line interface. This is indeed quite magical for people who have been around for many years as a usable in-process userspace tcpip stack is a relatively new and a novel thing.

I have a tiny command line program called `dir-prompt`[1] to format and copy to clipboard all the code in a directory to something that can be pasted into ChatGPT or Typingmind, but it is a huge issue that the AI will be too brief on the generated code snippets.

Glide is much more structured. I gave it a real test on one of my repos and it outlined something I would expect from a junior engineer who messed up a lot of little details- e.g. function names and parameters were slightly off. I think if there was a type evaluation step/it was typescript-specific it would match an engineer with 3-9mo of experience (great!). But it failed to match basic codebase conventions e.g. using require on a codebase that is all imports.

For the authors, I would recommend using GPT4-turbo and huge context windows, or have an option to upload an OpenAI key. GPT3.5 is just not worth it- and I do sort of suspect GPT4 isn't being used because of the speed of the output but I'm not sure.

You get to control the chrome a bit more - with Pywebview you can open something that looks like a regular application window, with the fact that it's HTML+CSS+JavaScript a hidden (from the user) implementation detail.

You can make Python functionality available to your custom JavaScript via a bridge. The bridge goes both ways - your Python application can trigger JavaScript to run inside the visible windows too.

You can add application menus.
So, the macro is

\newcommand{\ddim}[3]{\ensuremath{\underset{\scriptscriptstyle #2\times #3}{\rule[-1ex]{0ex}{+1ex}#1}}}

And you use it e.g. like `\ddim {A}NN` to indicate that A is NxN, or `Ax \ddim {=}N1 b` to show that this is an Nx1 equation. I suppose one could fine-tune it, but it was good enough for me.

> the mass timber framing uses four to five times the volume of wood as the light-framed wood framing.

I recall helping nail 2x6's together into big composite beams, in the 80s in Florida. something like a 32 foot clear roof span was needed and I think we were doing 3 layers for a 6in x 6in final profile. Good job for a kid: "Here's a box of 150 nails. put them all in these boards"

I've seen a meeting hall floor that was made by laying 2x4's up side by side and nailing them together. They were knotted, warped, reject pile boards and someone collected a big pile and planed one side straight then laminated them into a 20ft or so floor over the basement of a church building. Big massive center beam under it and no other supports but the walls. 3+ in thick and that heavily nailed; no worries.

It was fine finished and lovely from the top; the bottom was moreso to my eye: you could see how woven together it was and how far from perfect the individual boards were.

In both cases the design was inefficient and used profligate amounts of wood compared to what could have been done with steel or other methods. In both cases the wood was extra cheap or free and someone was making expedient use of it.
As long as it's properly tested in terms of out-of-training testing data with sufficient statistics, I'd welcome AI decision making over human any day. When you have humans in charge you know for sure that you have a substantially biased decision maker with completely unknown error levels.

I’ve wondered if this is a move in their arsenal that they would make. EU citizens would be furious with their legislators if they couldn’t buy iPhones or use the App Store at all, forcing those legislators to capitulate.
But again, does this apply to Germany? If so, where? I'm very explicit about my argument but every response so far made a general one. I would even agree that the US could use better worker protection in some areas. But in Germany everything is regulated to the max. We even have to track time by law.

/e: and to make it even more explicit. In Frankfurt, where I live, they aren't allowed to use their own vehicles and need to be employed. So uber can only work with companies. They need to be licensed as well. That lost a lot of people a lot of money, because now you're either bolt or uber, not both. There's no competition anymore. You're directly dependent on one of the companies/the company you work with. Making a quick buck on the side? Nope. Letting uber/bolt compete for drivers? Nope. And that sucks imho.
Sure, there's a tendency, even among relatively senior developers, to want to rewrite things to make them better, and it's certainly faster to put a band aid on it if you need to ship something fast.

The thing is though that technical debt and feature creep (away from flexibility anticipated by original design) are real, and sometimes a rewrite or refactor is the right thing to do - necessary so that simple things remain simple to add, and to able to continue shipping fast. It just takes quite a bit of experience to know when to NOT rewrite/refactor and when to do it.

Login.gov does not provide a sufficient level of identity assurance (IAL2 [1]) to serve as the IDP for this pilot and IRS functions in general (ID.me liveness check and facial recognition). IRS is working with Login.gov to upgrade Login.gov to deprecate ID.me for this purpose [2] [3].

Would it make sense to not proceed with this pilot until this was ready? Certainly not; Login.gov will catch up and meet IRS in the future as Direct File expands next filing season. Very similar to when Social Security Administration (ssa.gov) transitioned from ID.me and their internal IDP to Login.gov on September 18, 2021 [4].

(Login.gov partners with USPS to perform in person identity proofing for those who cannot perform remote proofing via a mobile device; a bar code is generated, which you print out or display on a mobile device for presentation to a USPS clerk with a government credential)
