>Its an interesting paradox, why yould piew piew make compelling television?

It isn't a paradox. Star Trek is entertainment, first and foremost, and conflict is entertaining. Gene Roddenberry may have wanted to portray a post-human utopia of luxury space communism, as it were, where humans all evolved beyond their base desires and vices and everyone was a paragon of superior intellect and virtue, but no one wants to watch that all the time. His ideal of the perfect Federation human was Wesley Crusher, the most hated character in Star Trek history (long before the identity politics around hating the new Star Trek series came about.) People want dogfights in space and snarling Klingons and scheming Romulans. Drama and violence. Sturm und Drang.

>Is there anything else that isnt dystopia?

There is no utopia or dystopia. Star Trek was never very utopian, except maybe on paper. Idealistic and hopeful, sure, but the struggle for liberation from an oppressive order is by definition idealistic and hopeful. Star Trek doesn't become dystopian when it bothers to examine its own ideals, or acknowledge the flaws in human nature, nor is it utopian when it pretends they don't exist. I think that looking at science fiction in terms of utopia and dystopia is missing the forest for the trees. These are two opposing and impossible ideals, while most stories (excepting purposely grimdark stuff like 40K) take place in the middle.

And that's fine. Humans can't aspire to perfection, but we can be inspired by the struggle to be better than we are.

That's right - pure splitting is much more SIMD-friendly than..the whole syntax melange. This is another charm to the "partitioned" design. The conversion to split-parseable TSV can run on its own CPU core and the SIMD splitting on its own core. As long as pipe bandwidth suffices, you have very easy parallelism. This kind of design/intent was popular on Unix at the dawn of multiprocessing when there were still Giant Kernel Locks. But it still has merits, even on Windows.

If you have a lot of data (and space for it, e.g. in /dev/shm) you can also save all the converted data to a TSV file. That's now soundly "partitionable" at the "nearest ASCII newline to 1/N bytes" and you can then go core-parallel as well as SIMD within cores (but that N-wise pass with memory mapping or mem.views). Admittedly this is probably more helpful when you are doing more computation than just splits, like ASCII-to-binary conversion of fields or such.

Plus, someone might have actually exported from Excel (or whatever) into some sound TSV instead of weird quote-escaped-CSV that some think is standardized by rfc 4180 (which itself disavows being a "standard"). In that case, at least, you needn't convert at all.

So, I see at least 3 reasons to layer this part of a system as a convert-then-split: pipeline parallelism, file parallelism, and entire pass elision.

Double-entry bookkeeping is inferior to N-entry bookkeeping, whereby a transaction generates N entries, that sum to zero. Multiple dual-entry transactions are needed to record a single N-entry transaction which is clumsy and harder to follow.

Also, by the way, the whole debit/credit thing in English-language accounting is supremely idiotic: a credit is an increse in this account, but a decrease in this other type of account? What? It's purely for job security for accountants.

There are accounts which represent outside interests/stakes in the company. Then there are accounts which represent what the company has.

The outside interest accounts run negative (under normal conditions). An interpretation of that is that the company owes what it has to the outside interests.

The sum of all the accounts is zero.

The outside interest accounts go negative when the company grows. E.g. $100 added to cash (account representing what the company has) might be balanced by a -$100 into the owner's equity account. The company owes $100 more to the owner.

If the $100 came from a bank, then rather than the equity account going down by $100, the account representing that bank or loan (outside interest) would go down by $100, more negative.

If the company buys some equipment for $100 for cash, then -$100 goes into cash, and $100 into assets.

When that asset depreciates, turning to $80 dollars a year later, -$20 goes into assets, and $20 into owner's equity, bringing it closer to zero.
An important idea is to use what are called worst-case-to-average-case reductions. You convert a boolean function f that is worst-case hard to another function g which is average-case hard. In other words, if g is average-case easy, then f is worst-case easy.

These reductions are a major achievement in complexity theory. Constructions use tools like combinatorial designs, list-decoding of error-correcting codes, expander graphs, extractors etc. A good overview of these methods is in Arora and Barak's "Computational complexity", in, I believe Chapters 19 through 21.

> Let me guess, you also think public servants are lazy, overpaid and unskilled? Comments like this belie how many people form opinions of public agencies without having any real experience with government.

I think American public servants are lazy, overpaid, and unskilled, yes. You don’t need experience running the government to know that the government sucks at its job, just like Windows users could tell Windows 95 sucked without being programmers themselves.

US transit systems almost uniformly suck compared to those in other developed countries, while costing the public just as much money, and in many cases a lot more money: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stephensmith/2011/12/11/surpris.... (“ The Swiss Transit department made a presentation a year or two ago in San Francisco. As far as I could tell, the public transit subsidies for all of Switzerland are in the neighborhood of the subsidies for transit in the Bay Area…

> Security by obscurity if these servers could be reached if you knew their "real names". In case of NAT, no amount of information will let you access these machines, so it is proper security. It is almost as good as airgap.

If you have a firewall, then no amount of information will give you access either.

> the second firewall goes down for any reason

Is this like... a thing that you've actually seen happen? Because it really sounds like something that at best happened 20 years ago in a freak accident that will never happen again.
If we're allowing equipment to just randomly break to that degree then I get to assume that your NAT will just forward incoming traffic directly to servers.

To illustrate how good kagi is, here's the things it's not as good at (for me):

1) the weather widget doesn't show precipitation chances in the future, only for today

2) historical queries like "newspaper articles on interest rates from 1/1/2008" are subpar compared to Google. Probably related to the recency of their index.

3) hyperlocal queries that rely on contextual information like location need to have that info explicitly stated, otherwise "best restaurants" returns a list of restaurants in Poland for example. Sort of inherent to the privacy thing though.

Everything else, all the normal queries work as well or better for me than Google.
> or accept affidavits sworn under penalty of perjury before affirmatively declaring that FSD was not enabled during the referenced tests. He did not even make minimal effort to ascertain the actual truth before spouting vile and false accusations.

The driver's sworn word doesn't really contradict the theory that they failed to realize they didn't engage FSD - supported by the footage where the driver attempts to engage FSD, and acts as if it has been activated, but actually failed to do so.

Lambert says his theory is "based on their own footage in the ad", which I think is fair. The theory turns out to be wrong because the ad presents footage as part of the test that was actually recorded as a re-enactment afterwards (or at least, I believe it does - haven't seen the Dawn Project admit to this). It's understandable that they did so to get better shots for the ad and I don't think there was any malice or intentional misrepresentation, but the driver's mistake in this extra footage is the root of the error.

> As to the data in the safety report, it is corrected in the report here [2] which has live links to the raw footage. The discrepancies from the original report are immaterial as they are only slight differences in child collision speed

24mph -> 17mph is a notable discrepancy when the exact speed is visible in the released recording on the dashboard. It seems to be silently altered to match the released video, as opposed to explained, as far as I can see. But may just be a case of "we took the driver's estimate rather than checking the footage" or "we paused the video very inaccurately, sometimes before and sometimes after the collision".

> In any event, you can just look to the more recent tests which completely invalidate these questions anyways

If someone believes the Dawn Project are manipulating the tests, the release of new different footage where they're careful not to make the same mistake they were called out for previously doesn't really affect anything. An explanation of why there were discrepancies in the previous footage, with supporting evidence if possible, may help.

I believe the existence of the unexplained (but not unexplainable) discrepancies is why "people, to this day, still deliberately point back to the earliest videos".
Your response reminds me of back when Noam Chomsky was going around saying that Khmer Rouge cannot possibly as bad as Americans say they are, and most of it is probably a CIA psyop anyway.

Followers on Substack only is much less valuable than a subscriber for which you have the email address.

This is a first step for Substack to control who see your posts, when, and insert ads amid your content. You also can’t export followers like you can with subscribers.

I also suspect that a free subscriber is more likely to become a paid subscriber than a follower.

So they diminish your earn potential, decrease the audience of your longer form writing (usually the reason someone creates a newsletter to begin with) and lock you in, making you lose control on how you communicate with your readers.

It only feels that way because search has been free essentially forever.

But think -- really think -- about how much value you get out of search. Like, if you didn't have search, would you even be able to use the web? I think $10/mo for something I critically rely on several tens of times a day is a bargain!

Certainly it might be hard to sell search at $10/mo when people can get by at $0/mo. But that isn't the same thing as saying it's steep.
It's pretty bad, but to be clear, it's not that you can't pick anything other than the default, it's that you are given a tiny selection of the biggest players and have to choose from them. Other browsers allow you to specify an arbitrary URL for it to inject the query string into.

Of course the “hard part” of CSV parsing is dealing with escapes, which break simple splits.

When BART was built in the 60s/70s it was innovative. The construction techniques for the Transbay Tube were unique at the time. The system was billed as a transit system built from the ground up for the space age. It was equipped with, at the time, a state of the art Automation Train Control system.

Upgrading those systems is expensive and difficult, so it's not surprising old prices of equipment hung around until the end of their useful life. Especially since BART is going through a massive budget crisis at the moment (and this isn't the only one in its history).
