> People have been making jokes about node_modules for a decade now, but this problem is just as bad in Rust codebases I've seen

I agree... but I think this is more indicative of a cultural problem than a language design/standard library scoping problem. A compact standard library is more resistant to scope creep. I don't want every language to end up like C++, and I think keeping the scope of the standard library small helps avoid that. On the other hand, popular third-party libraries that provide common functions have too many third-(fourth-?)party dependencies. Keeping dependency trees small should be a priority for such tools, but convenience trumps all right now so it isn't valued as it should be.
This sounds like conspiracy theory to me.
Wow I'm really surprised this didn't enter your post grad! We covered this briefly in undergrad but had a much meatier grad level course on fundamentals of computational with this included and it destroyed pretty much every student in the class lol.

Many artists I know are ferociously against crypto and they and their fans don't know how to use crypto at all.

Use bank transfer or better yet instead, purchase gifts for the creator on their Amazon, Etsy, etc wishlist in exchange for content or use gift cards.

The above solutions are way better than crypto as it's mostly used for crime and illicit transactions and speculation.
This might be the canonical example of Betteridge's Law.
What does it mean to “invest” in Bitcoin? What are you investing in, exactly?
I'm with you on how incredible it is from a technical perspective.

The most fascinating thing to me is how we've gone from Apple being the pragmatic and real world product focused company, moving slower but making sure what they ship has undeniable practical value, and not promising much beyond ("we don't talk about future products and roadmap").

Compared to the "wow look at that technical prowess, not much useful right now, but such potential !" that we're getting with this device. I don't see it completely fall flat, but it feels it's on the same course as the Apple Watch or the HomePod, to be the biggest in the niche category it defines (whatever it ends up be), and a smaller presence in the general space ("smart eyewear ?") with better fitted and more practical devices taking 70% of the market.

The clunkier XReal probably keeping chugging along, being to the AVP what the Xiaomi or Huawei smart bands are to the Apple Watch. And Meta probably being the Samsung shooting at the target from 5 different angles.
No. That's too dense and organic. Mine are rather abstract, much padding, empty eigengrau between 'loci', and more 'geometric'?

I’ve been on hiring committees at Mozilla where being a white male hurts the candidate.

The committee wants a racial minority, LQBTQIA+, etc. The best white males can do is claim to be neurodivergent. That one lets them get passed the filters. But I’ve been part of discussions where the committee explicitly said they were disappointed the best candidate didn’t help with diversity and thus we passed.
The idea that whatever amount of bitcoin you buy its value will be much higher in the future.
This reads like it was written by someone who lacks a sense of good and bad style. Code style is not a consensus or arbitrary imposition any more than it is in a human language. There IS a right and a wrong way.
one way to approach this with compromise is to keep the shipped standard library small, but have officially maintained packages from the language foundation for exceedingly common functionality.

That gives an avenue for exploration, and tight controls and quality control on packages, without bloating the standard library.

It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just that we lost a lot of knowledge when the Mud Flood destroyed the Tartarian Empire. That’s why we don’t know how to build giant mechanical public clocks any more, and everything is digital clocks now.
This quote hits close to home. “So I got the arm to match the conveyor speed by monitoring the position and pre-empting the motion command, alternating ‘slow’ and ‘fast’ at 10Hz with a duty cycle depending on how we are tracking our target. The motion is pretty jerky but it works.”

I’ve been through exactly this scenario in two very popular robotics frameworks.

Countless hours were spent by well intentioned framework developers to abstract away the underlying PID loop from the end users. Then countless more hours were spent by the end users to work around this by implementing a PID loop on top of the abstraction.
Definitely not the same thing, agreed. My only point being this is why the 'big-wigs' aren't in jail.

> The common thread behind people wanting to restrict speech [...] is fear.

I'm resistant to this framing because I think it could lead to some facile arguments, since ultimately "fear" (anticipation of future harm) is also behind huge swathes of laws/restrictions which are generally uncontroversial and moral.

> People fear other people and want another organization (the government) to protect them or make someone else liable. It's practical and efficient, rather than moral.

This also applies to when someone points a loaded gun at your head and screams that you've insulted their mother for the last time: You fear that other person and want another organization (the government) to protect you and make them liable!

However that doesn't make it unreasonable, surely assault with a deadly weapon should continue to be a crime.

I think it's important to point out that reading the abstract and then throwing it into gpt4 would result in a more informative article than the current one.

The article spends about a third of its time waxing loquacious about MOND - hossenfelder's own theory - before dismissing the current paper for having equations that are just "too simple" .

Now I'm not a physicist. I'm an applied category theorist working in business process modeling of all things. But when I was reading hossenfelder's article I was hoping it would describe how oppenheim models the spectral dispersion of stochastic gravity. This is the linchpin of how oppenheim predicts physically observable phenomenon from the model.

That was missing. There have been other articles, which at least mentioned it in passing. I was hoping hossenfelder, being a physicist, could help clarify that for a wider audience. They made a choice not to.

I think most clocks and watches would have the numerals engraved directly into the face, and if they were separate pieces as on a tower clock they would be either be engraved by hand or with a pantograph, but probably not engraved at all but cut out from a sheet. In any case I don't see how your method creates any meaningful economies of scale — if anything four 'I's requires _more_ material than an 'IV.'
I suspect that if you have a sequence w_0, ... w_n with the property but all possible remaining words in your sequence following w_n are the wrong color, then you can use set w_0' = concat(w_0, ... w_n) and declare victory.

Which is a hang up that they should work on, because we are all just trying to love the same thing. I agree with your descriptions of the distinctions mind you. Genres are important to find and discuss music you like, but it gets wrapped up in the ego of the listener, and that can get expressed negatively through elitism and gate keeping.

This is a bit different than the "read a paper" TTS app. I mentioned the idea just to say it's possible and coming.
The blend of the two isn't out of the question though.

Think of asking for a reading of a paper wherein you could interject at any time.

System: "This work is presented fromainly 3 groups: Deepmind, University of Pennsylvania, and ETH Zurich - the authors are Matthew Botvinick, Dani Bassett, and Bastian Rieck. They uncover a useful meta-learning program that relies on an AT methodology rooted in the bifiltration of the Ricci curvature of the embeddings and training step, wherein ..."
You: "Wait a second - the algebraic topology method - what are the prior works in that area and why would that be the starting point for this paper"
System: "It appears that the relevant citations point to Anne Sizemore's work while in Bassett's lab, with a few other key authors such as Guisti. The titles suggest that..."

(...)
System: "Now that we've cleared that up a bit (and added it to a research list for further exploration later), to continue on the paper ..."

And so on.

This is very achievable today with a little bit of work.
Perhaps not easy to work _super well_ - but likely easy enough to get working to _some degree_. A well polished product that does work super well certajnly isn't out of the question though.

> For me as of late I've come to realize that the current audience wants YATNE more than they want deep discussion here and so I modulate my time here accordingly.

I think it depends on the stories. Different subjects have different demographics, and I have almost completely stopped reading physics stuff because it is way too Reddit-like (and full of confident people asserting embarrassingly wrong facts). I can see how you could feel about fields closer to your interests being dumbed down by over-confident non-specialists.

There are still good, highly technical discussions, but it is true that the home page is a bit limited and inefficient to find them.
The reason you think that this theory is trying to justify MOND is likely because hossenfelder spends about a third of the article discussing it instead of discussing the current theory.

MOND is hossenfelder's pet theory - they've done work on a version of it called Covariant Emergent Gravity

It's fine to say that any given new physical theory is almost certainly a nothingburger.. I agree with that. But please reread the article and confirm for yourself that what I say is true.
"people don't like how they look and sound" is just another effect of density. I doubt Dutch people are inherently more NIMBY than Americans, it's just there's nowhere to hide infrastructure in the Netherlands (unless offshore).
> classical taxonomy of RISC/CISC dichotomy is basically non-existent nowadays

After digest information about IBM 360, I decided, we lost CISCs. One of most important feature of 360 was customizable microcode, which you could load on system boot and got effectively different hardware (like with FPGA emulators of Amiga's). It was widely used to emulate old hardware, like IBM 1401 or IBM 7xxx series. But I have not seen this feature in 390 documentation, so looks like their 360 emulation become just software (and with achievements of semiconductors in 1990s it looks like adequate, to switch to software emulation).

I must admit, ARM marketed feature of customized microcode, to add new instructions (they have standardized place in instruction set, named "custom coprocessor instructions", so if you have enough money, you could make special ARM with your additional instructions), but it is nothing if compare to 360.
