It's definitely harsh, and I want to be clear that I don't think it's innately a bad idea or destined to fail, but when it's easy to throw millions of dollars at a moon shot, trying to spin data straw into gold is worth a shot. It's similar to people trying to make a self-driving car, and how many of those are struggling/ending recently. It's not that there's nothing there, but when loans aren't free, you can't just throw money at it and hope.

It's a field that's just been over-hired because it's been a field where you can go "we're 2 years away from something big" for 10 years and the money was cheap enough to just keep paying people with questionable results or prospects. It doesn't shock me at all that people are having a lot of trouble getting work in the field. Even 8 years ago, going to college job fairs, I almost had to herd away Masters students in ML and Data Science who were already having a hard time getting a job and were resorting to applying for QA positions at web dev companies.
I worked a decade in the DoD, and then another decade in various tech companies. I was laid off from a startup 12 months ago.

There are definitely pros and cons of both sides. Here's my take on working for the DoD:

- PRO: Having a long tenure means you really get to know the software systems you're developing, and the people with whom you're collaborating.

- PRO: Lack of commercial / profit pressure lets you focus on what seems good for the country, rather than for stockholders.

- CON: Congress is insane. They still haven't passed a defense budget for FY24. The DoD is the only employer I've ever had that missed payroll.

- PRO/CON: Supporting the U.S.'s military might is good or bad, depending on how it's used. A lot of soul-searching may be required to do the work. But working for the private sector can also feel awful, especially in this age of surveillance capitalism.

- PRO/CON: The pay is okay-ish compared to the private sector (PRO), but there's no potential for major bonuses / RSUs (CON).

- PRO: Layoffs are far less common than in the private sector. There's no boom-and-bust cycle tied to interest rates (AFAIK).

- PRO: The hiring process is 10000x better than what I've endured from the private sector since being laid off about 12 months ago. No LeetCode tests, no 5 rounds of interviews followed by being ghosted. And yet, despite the far simpler hiring process, my corner of the DoD generally managed to hire good people.

- CON: Bureaucracy. It can be soul-sucking. But since leaving the DoD, I've learned that it's just a symptom of massive organizations in general. E.g., I encountered a lot of the same frustrations working at Intel under Brian K and Bob Swan.

- PRO/CON: Physical facilities. At least where I worked, the DoD offices were generally run down compared to typical big-corporation offices. On the other hand, the DoD workspaces weren't under financial pressure to maxize programmers per square foot. So there weren't any open-office floor plans. Everyone at least had a cube, more senior people generally had offices.

- PRO: No significant ageism. If you start working for the DoD, and don't egregiously screw up, you don't need to worry about being laid off because of your age. But beyond that, many of these systems / problem domains have long learning curves, so long-tenured developers generally command a lot of well-deserved respect.

Right now I'm actually interviewing for private sector jobs (Microsoft) and DoD jobs. I might have to take an offer from Microsoft because of financial considerations. But I'm also kinda hoping I end up back at the DoD.

I googled quickly. Airbus seems to have >50% market share in China and 15% of its currently flying aircraft are there. Since it's >50% I imagine Boeing, Embraer etc. have percentages below 15, but I didn't check.

Would it survive at 85% of its present sice? You predict they won't.
I know most people don’t believe this, but it is likely that electric cars have a good chance of becoming far cheaper than ICE cars over the coming 5-10 years.

EVs are complex, but in ways that are much more subject to economies of scale.

For example, much of their value is in the software, which replicates for nearly zero marginal cost. Electric motor assembly is highly automatable and a fraction of the cost of assembling engines. There are no emission control systems, fuel systems, exhaust systems.

That leaves battery materials and construction, and these are dropping fast. Goldman Sachs just predicted pack-level prices will be below $100 KWh by 2025 and continue dropping by 11% per year throughout the decade.

In fact, BYD already sells a perfectly-reasonable EV in China for around $11,000 US equivalent.

There will, of course, always be premium priced EVs in the market, but I believe the lower bound of the market will be much lower than the Corollas, Tercels and Honda Fits of today.
There are examples of widespread persecution, but this is incredibly low effort. Al-Mutawakkil (who was Uzbek and Greek, for what it's worth) was a psychopath that didn't represent the general Islamic view. The pressures he placed on Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians and even other internal Islamic sects was not a popular view. Christians were regularly teaming up with Muslims to riot against the bad leadership[0].

The idea that it was enforced is even more dubious. The decrees were racist, sure, but unlike his more insane personalized antics (like when he ordered a holy Zoroastrian tree be cut down and shipped to him so he can build his house out of it[1]) the vast majority of the Islamic world didn't agree or support any of it and it was unlikely that any of it was actually enforced. He had little support outside of the Turkic world and a North African militia group, and even that was far and few inbetween.

This is what I find perplexing.

Welfare programs are not for the poor.

They are so the poor doesn't "eat the rich".

Maybe they were taking a day off work made only possible by being available.

I think 46% of parents being distracted sometimes by any of those things is not at all problematic. Maybe kids can learn to wait 2 minutes.

>You can set the experiment up so the energy is the same in both cases (for example, both positions at the same height, just horizontally separated)

The action of placing them, say with your hands for simplicity, into different horizontal positions means differently pushing the Earth with your legs. For more cleaner illustration - let's say in our experiment a space ship is placed into orbit clockwise or anti clockwise. We can't just teleport the ship, so let's say we move it by rocket engines. So the ship goes in one direction, rocket engine exhaust goes in the other. The exhaust does have mass and speed. Even if it wouldn't eliminate the superposition gap, it will definitely decrease it, and decreasing the superposition gap increases the chances that some other unaccounted for factor(s) (for example gravitational waves caused by all these movements) will eliminate it or decrease further. Even if ultimately we still can't fully eliminate the gap, significantly decreasing it may eliminate various divergencies arising from quantization or make them very smallscale/localized (an observer from Alfa Centauri wouldn't care about the ship's orbit direction like we don't care about the spin of a given particle in the air around us) and average-able out on larger scales.
We said the same thing about books, and radio, and TV, and music (ahh Tipper), and the internet (dont give strangers your name, or get in their cars, but you know, uber).

I think you’ll appreciate the origins of the Nobel Prize.

Alfred Nobel was born on 21 October 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden, into a family of engineers.[11] He was a chemist, engineer, and inventor. In 1894, Nobel purchased the Bofors iron and steel mill, which he made into a major armaments manufacturer. Nobel also invented ballistite. This invention was a precursor to many smokeless military explosives, especially the British smokeless powder cordite. As a consequence of his patent claims, Nobel was eventually involved in a patent infringement lawsuit over cordite. Nobel amassed a fortune during his lifetime, with most of his wealth coming from his 355 inventions, of which dynamite is the most famous.[12]

There is a popular story about how, in 1888, Nobel was astonished to read his own obituary, titled "The Merchant of Death Is Dead", in a French newspaper. It was Alfred's brother Ludvig who had died; the obituary was eight years premature. The article disconcerted Nobel and made him apprehensive about how he would be remembered. This inspired him to change his will.[13] Historians have been unable to verify this story and some dismiss the story as a myth.[14][15] On 10 December 1896, Alfred Nobel died in his villa in San Remo, Italy, from a cerebral haemorrhage. He was 63 years old.[16]

> BEVs are growing in popularity slower than many previous forecasts

I've spent a fair amount of time looking for such a forecast that was actually more aggressive than the real popularity.

Your own link only shows a rather big increase in EV sales in the US, not a decrease, and it doesn't show any missed forecasts.

There was definitely a flurry of bad mass media articles about how the traditional car makers were scaling back their plans. But the facts in these articles were either extremely stilted and biased, or the facts in the articles directly contradicted the headlines.

For whatever reason, the car majors decided they wanted to tamp down on EVs in the media, and editors came through in spades with deceptive articles.
It’s something I’ve been interested in too. I do a bunch of CNC woodworking so would love the ability to atleast generate close enough 3D models I can then refine.

This year is looking pretty interesting for batteries. We have the Li-on potentially dropping to $100 a KWH, that will probably also mean LifePO4 will probably come down to below $100, maybe $80 and then the introduction of Sodium Ion this year which is meant to get down to $40 a KWH.

So far Sodium Ion isn't delivering on that price drop, while the cars are all cheap but not yet really available the actual cells for sale on aliexpress and alibaba are all a lot more expensive than LifePO4 at the moment. The 13450 cells at 10Ah instead of the 15Ah for LifePO4 and at the moment are also 5x the price. Its just gouged early pricing currently but it should bring the price of home storage and car batteries down less than half of Li-on and LifePO4 but with a lower density.

Interesting year for batteries and EVs, lots of EVs cheaper than ICE vehicles coming out this year as a result.
I have had a hard time articulating this too. I really like trains, I travel to go ride them, but I don't sit on the internet researching trains in my spare time and I don't know thr minutae of the different train models. I just know what I experience, and love it when I do.

When I tell this to normal people they think I'm a superfan, but I am not even in the same conversation as actual train fans. I doubt I could even hold a conversation about trains with a train fan.

It is the same for music, and I have the benefit of having been both a superfan and now later just a regular person who loves the music. I have an in depth love for the music, and no one can take that from my heart. But I don't give a lick about genres anymore.
The main issues with previous BCIs were that the electrodes were larger, less flexible, and not as biocompatible. This caused scar tissue to form around the electrodes, degrading the quality of the signals and eventually making the device useless. Neuralink has apparently reduced scar tissue formation enough that the implant receives usable signals for years. Neuralink also uses far more electrodes, improving signal quality and adding redundancy. The number of electrodes necessitates the use of a robot to place them. The robot is programmed to avoid blood vessels, which also reduces bleeding and scarring.

It will be quite a while before we know if they've managed to mitigate the issues enough to last a lifetime (and support upgrades), but it's better than previous devices.
Just my two cents: If you're saving enough documents to where you need something like this, you're spending too much time bookmarking and not enough time actually making use of the knowledge contained in there. I'm sure it's an improvement for those people though.

Would be even better if AI systems were integrated with hypergraphs of the sort, which was an approach some AGI projects were taking 1-2 decades ago.
Where I work we stopped posting jobs publicly and stopped promoting them on job sites. We now get candidates in 4 ways:

• Internal referral – Sometimes a complete miss, sometimes a quick hire.

• External recruiter (rarely) – For some roles their network has been beneficial and we’ve negotiated down to as little as 8% of yearly salary in exchange for a case study or something.

• Direct Targeted LinkedIn Outreach – So much cheaper to pay for LinkedIn Recruiter Lite and reach out to promising candidates. I get a near 100% response rate and it’s been so much faster than twiddling my thumbs waiting and hoping for good applicants.

• Inbound queries through our careers page - We rewrote this to be honest about what it’s generally like to work with us, including what we like and what other people have disliked. Anybody who writes to us directly after reading it is guaranteed a 30-minute conversation to see if they’re a good fit for either now or in the future. I’ve been surprised how many people have found this page and read it.

This has cut our cost to hire for most roles by nearly 70% (also factoring in time cost) compared to promoted posts on job sites. Our time to hire is much faster as well.

Part of the trick is realizing you don’t really need The Best People. Find somebody who you’ve got reasonable confidence can do the job well and make them an offer.

So it's possible, but not a single country in the world managed to do it, even with wide range of different political parties in power, alignment, economic systems, etc? Like if literally every single combination that we have of those things couldn't manage effective containment....Well I guess your claim is a bit unfalsifiable don't you think?

And the "chart goes" up is such a strawman, I'm sure there's no real life downside or long term risk to just shut down everything for (2) more weeks... but whatever. That's such a western mentality, that only comes with the privilege of not living in an economically ruined part of the world.

There's a reason why doomers and "zero COVID" proponents are usually in the vast majority white, privileged, urban residents. I'm sure some vague, very broad "long term risks" that we still haven't seen concretely outside of a tiny minority (even if hundreds of millions were infected) are more important than the actual, proven, repeated risks of "charts going down".

In a way there's an odd parallel with antivaxxers who love to claim that in just a little bit more we will see the long term risks that came with the vaccine lol

A million years ago the Journal of the ACM had an April Fools article about "COME FROM" as an alternative to GOTO.

Except it feels real now. So much work is now done with "inversion of control" framework... which means you have no control. The framework is a series of COME FROM statements which call your code, if they feel like it. If they don't feel like it, nothing happens. And so you change your code and try again. If you got it wrong again, the same nothing happens. Debugging is hard because there's nowhere to put a break point.
