> looking for new problems that Python in Excel could solve

You could solve releasing Python in Excel for MacOS.
OP is in marketing, not eng, FWIW.
I disagree with your characterization of Vinge's works as primarily about disasters but I agree they were all about an accelerating technological pace and its relation with intelligence.

I'm fairly certain the mysterious event in Marooned in Realtime was Ascension.

For Fire Upon Deep, it was sealed and there was a powerful countermeasure.

The rabbit of Rainbows End felt like a trickster to me. Child-like playfulness, fey-like chaotic neutral at worst. I do not interpret Rabbit's survival as hints of doom. The weapon was plain old human abuse of power for control.
Hey, tech lead of OpenTofu here.

It’s going excellent! I’m surprised by how well adoption is going.

Just the day before yesterday we had OpenTofu Day at KubeCon, and instead of the expected ~30 people we had 150-200 attendees and a packed room!

The next major release, 1.7, is coming out soon too.
That's how subvolumes work; not just on btrfs, but on zfs as well.

The non-footgun way is to have several subvolumes (@root, @boot, @home for btrfs, rpool/ROOT/system_instance and rpool/USERDATA for zfs), and nothing in else in the volume itself. Then, you wipe the system subvolume and create a new one, with new system. Or just keep the old system subvolume and create a new one.

They might generate improvements, but I’m not sure why people think those improvements would be unbounded. Think of it like improvements to jet engines or internal combustion engines - rapid improvements followed by decades of very tiny improvements. We’ve gone from 32-bit LLM weights down to 16, then 8, then 4 bit weights, and then a lot of messy diminishing returns below that. Moore’s is running on fumes for process improvements, so each new generation of chips that’s twice as fast manages to get there by nearly doubling the silicon area and nearly doubling the power consumption. There’s a lot of active research into pruning models down now, but mostly better models == bigger models, which is also hitting all kinds of practical limits. Really good engineering might get to the same endpoint a little faster than mediocre engineering, but they’ll both probably wind up at the same point eventually. A super smart LLM isn’t going to make sub-atomic transistors, or sub-bit weights, or eliminate power and cooling constraints, or eliminate any of the dozen other things that eventually limit you.
Unaccelerated particle= inertial frame.

Approximately: consider gravity as small deviations from inertiality, so it's approximately linear, like the other forces we know and love.
Can anyone recommend a good resource discussing the interplay between highly optimized js bundles and code caching? i.e. it seems to be me that one would benefit by serving the same js blob on most / all pages even if it includes unused code because then you pretty much always utilize the code cache.

> Modern doors usually don't have this kind because they take up space in the garage

I'm willing to believe you but can't visualize this all that well. The "extension springs" in my garage door are in the space above the tracks that the door slides on. The tracks are longer than what the door itself would require, to leave room for the springs, but... is that a problem? They're on the ceiling, and some of that space would be occupied by the motor lifting the door anyway.
The random spin followed by a run reminds me a bit of the first-generation Roomba logic...

CS should be more integrated with other departments

it is almost disappointing that we still have not learned this everywhere. this is not new. already when i studied a few decades ago at my university the computer science major allowed you to pick any other field as a minor.

there was no active integration of the fields, but the argumentation was that computer science was applicable everywhere, so any combination would make sense. most other majors did not give you that kind of freedom, and i have not heard from any other universities offering this choice to their CS majors, but i did hear from several that required math as a minor to go along with CS.

i don't know if the reverse was true though. i doubt it. physics definitely required math as a minor and didn't allow a choice. and i doubt many other departments allowed students to choose CS as a minor. it would be a great idea though.

i also agree with you that every student should learn programming, but for me that makes programming a class that should already be required in highschool, and at least be offered in middle school, if not earlier. just like learning english as a second language is required in pretty much every country that is not english native, and in many offered already in primary school.

> The Biden administration has worked to fix those issues.

> Prior to Biden’s fixes to PSLF, just around 7,000 borrowers had received debt relief through the over 15-year-old program, according to the administration. Since 2021, it said, 871,000 borrowers have now had their debt canceled under the program.

This is a weird comparison that overlooks that the 10-year period begins at repayment, which is typically at graduation. If you entered college in 2007, graduated in 2011, and made 10 years of payments to become eligible for forgiveness, your first year of eligibility would’ve been 2021.

Also, Obama federalized student loans in 2010, vastly increasing the number of loans eligible for PLSF. Lots of people who got masters degrees or JDs starting in 2010 became eligible for PLSF since 2021.
I hate wiz. But maybe having a public facing user base will force basic usability.
Talk to people. Interview your entire team, with detailed questions, avoid solutioning out of context, just listen. Next extend those interviews to stakeholders your team supports- go as deep or as high as you can, adjust questions for context, execs? business/strategy questions, the janitor? the dirt questions... yes interview the cleaning crew...

Ive done these rounds at every job and 2 times I left that job immediately after the interviews.

Agreed about A Fire Upon The Deep, optionally followed by A Deepness In The Sky. Those are classically styled hard science fiction novels with spaceships and aliens. But much more thoughtful than you might expect from a typical spaceships and aliens scifi novel.

If you're looking for something more germane to present concerns, Rainbows End is about a near future where people's interaction with the world is mediated by augmented reality and various forces are fighting over access to information.

And since I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, Marooned In Realtime is also really good.

But if you're looking for a single book, then you won't go wrong with A Fire Upon The Deep.
Totally separate. I do think as opposing arguments get more extreme, it skews each side. Then someone in the middle can look extreme.

There is just as strong an ideology and religious fervor around 'carnivore', and 'keto' communities.

Then when someone suggests eating some plants, they yell 'vegan'. And the more someone in the middle tries to argue 'no, really, you need some fiber', the more they yell back 'your vegan'.

If the person in the middle starts arguing back, and siting studies, the extreme side starts viewing them as extreme, even if they are in the middle.

Think the effect is called Overton Window.

I would hope no vegan would argue against Kimchi. Kimchi is great.

I mean, we're not biologically adapted for the open ocean or winters above the arctic circle either. If all you're living in is your skin, then a Siberian winter will kill you in under 15 minutes. It takes a crazy amount of technology -- in terms of habitat-building and wearables -- to be able to survive in that environment. Yet humans were doing it 47,000 years ago.

So these kind of biological arguments really don't hold. We're not constrained by our biology. That ship has sailed, literal aeons ago. We're constrained by our technology, and in technological terms, relative to our evolutionary cradle, Inuit garb is about 80% of the way towards being a space suit. Doesn't mean that space is "easy". Just that "easy" isn't what we do.
Unfortunately a lot of that influence was done with the exact purpose of handing the markets to the US companies. I am not anti market and there are definitely good arguments in its favor (e.g. a better cheaper product even if imported will allow you to invest the money in something else) but it's a delicate topic and in reality almost no country operates like this.

Also even free market proponents draw the line somewhere. They will always advocate privatising healthcare but never the police or the army. Somehow it's important that keeping people healthy is economical and efficient, but not upholding the law.

This seems like insecure and irrelevant rambling to avoid my question.
Amaze isn't the word I'd use, but Keynes did say something rather profound - "anything we can actually do we can afford". I think of the economy a bit like the power grid; it's really a just-in-time system that can only deliver productive capacity in real-time (though this analogy is changing with grid-scale power storage). In some sense, money is just an abstraction on top of that. Or I have no idea what I'm talking about, but also I don't think economists really have that good of a handle on things either.

If you intend to maintain the falsehood that cows’ sex is not completely denatured, you’re simply wrong. We have manufactured species that are easier to manipulate, that are incapable of surviving without us. We cause untold misery on them to give us food. We do that, because it’s cheap.

I hate Angular with a passion. It's easily the most verbose, overly complex front end framework I've ever used which just takes the fun out of building web apps and make it a pure pain. I would rather work on a farm and shovel pig shit all day than work in Angular again.

My last job forced Angular on me, I quit after a while (not because of solely that reason) but I told them Angular was a bad choice and they chose to overrule me. Pretty funny now, they will have to endure the pain of migrating a large app which makes me feel good.

Make stupid choices, win stupid prizes.

I see it as a different model of building knowledge about the game than most other genres. Dying early is part of the process, because each time you die you got to this point in a bit different way, learning other things on the way.

If you were hand-held to the very end you'd only see a a narrow path you went through, which is also ok. It's just a difference in the journey, similar to Breadth-First Search and Deep-First Search in graphs.

Another thing is game fairness. In my opinion, SPD is fair, there's no "you stepped on something you couldn't detect if you tried and died". If you pay attention you will see enough information to identify threats after the initial die-a-lot period :)
Eclipse, they use SWT.
There is a section at the end "How did we figure all this stuff out?". Really amazing.

And the scale invariance of nature is clearly visible here. The cell is "small" compared to human scale but it is as complicated as any machine existing in human scale. There is no absolute small or big in nature.
Nix is mostly reproducible but does not require maintainers to sign their packages or commits, and most do not, which is a bare minimum for any security sensitive environment.

In Guix signing is mandated and it is mostly reproducible, but the choice of scheme and lack of base container images make it unapproachable for many.

Debian lead the way on signing and reproducibility, but package versions of things like rust are too far behind to be useful to most orgs.

Arch in contrast to these is IMO easy to package for, has recent well maintained signed packages, has well maintained OCI images published, and is rapidly improving on reproducibility.

Having at least one glibc distro that can meet this criteria is a big win for many use cases.

Different tools for different projects and threat models.

Not sure how that could be the case. SSPL places additional restrictions on the usage of the software, so you cannot relicense GPL code as SSPL.

Huh, I have TWO of the top end LCD models, bought them specifically because Valve hardware tends to be limited run and I didn't want to be left in the dust when they moved on.

Now the OLED is out, they're discontinuing the LCD models. Good thing I got two then! Feeling pretty vindicated about this.

It's all a matter of perspective. Be happy you snagged one of the rare, discontinued SKU ;)
I agree with you, but:

This driver is almost certainly not targeting 10 year old hardware.

So when you define your kernel config, you wouldn't include this driver. The new code would be entirely skipped over at compile time.

(Still think "rewrite everything in rust to solve all our problems" is a bit dumb.)

> Now, the taxpayer has to pay Intel $8.5B to bring back manufacturing capacity to the U.S

The tax payer had nothing to do with it. This is yet another example of the government taking our money (or borrowing our future money) and spending it in ways that we never agreed to and had no input on.

The government isn’t spending money it doesn’t have. It does spend money it borrows from lenders. The lenders think it is a relatively safe investment since they keep lending money to the U.S. government.

> The prospect of regional wars or worse makes you feel safe ?

Membership in NATO prevents regional wars, because it increases the risk for Russia. Standing alone, a country like Finland or Poland can respond only with conventional weapons, which they don't have too many considering the scale of Russian war against Ukraine. By attacking a NATO member, Russia risks with a nuclear response from other alliance members up to a global nuclear war.

Russians understand and react to power, and NATO represents that. When a Russian fighter jet intruded Turkish airspace while flying sorties in support of Assad's regime in Syria and got shot down by Turkish air defense, Russian officials came to apologize instead of ramping up the usual "we'll nuke everything!" rhetoric. Demonstrate credible force and they'll backtrack.

> Do you think that if Ukraine was not being courted by US that it would've been invaded like that ?

The premise of your question is upside down. Ukraine was courting the US to get security guarantees such as NATO membership, not vice versa. The notion that Eastern Europe had to be somehow tricked into EU and NATO is deeply misguided. Instead, these have been the main foreign policy goals for most countries in the region, the holy grail.

The alternative for Ukraine was to become an oppressive dictatorship like Belarus has become under Russian influence. That would've meant that Russia would've moved in their armed forces, installed nuclear weapons and prepared to use Ukraine as a staging ground for further invasions westwards - everything they've done in Belarus so far.

Instead of seeing Kyiv under missile attacks, we'd be seeing the same happening 1000 km westwards in Warsaw. How far towards Paris and London do you prefer to let this thing creep before tackling the problem? Until Picadilly Circus?

I do agree that animal "factories" are wrong. I think we disagree only on a minor point: I think that it's not wrong for humans to domesticate and "grow" animals if they do it in a "humane" (I don't know a better word here) way where the animals do not suffer and have ways to enjoy their lives, whatever that may be, while I believe you're saying that's also wrong and only hunting wild animals is acceptable?

> We observe playful and happy behavior in plenty of wild animals, not only in apex predators.

I don't know... you may see that in an environment heavily modified by humans, like National Parks or zoos... but in really wild environments, there would be a healthy population of predators that "control" the population of those animals they hunt, so it seems it's almost inevitable that if you're prey, in a real wild environment, you would need to be on your toes absolutely all the time. This is what I've observed from the little interactions I had with really wild environments.

> Do you think that two angry humans killing each other over a conflict is the same thing as industrial scale genocide with labor camps?

That's a weird questions to ask, I don't see any relation whatsoever with what is being discussed.

The crazy imaginative class selection in ToME (special shoutout to the chronomancer) easily makes it my go-to roguelike, but I do find I have trouble really feeling what the impact of my build choices are, although this is a common feeling with roguelikes - I probably feel it more in ToME because it feels like every level-up has a much broader decision space than most other roguelikes. Also that most enemies (at least early game) aren't a major challenge until you hit one that wrecks you.
