I suppose it comes down to if you're purely in it for utility or if you're trying to repair this thing of yours precisely because it's this thing of yours. I'd be far more inclined to go to the lengths discussed in the article for a precious mug that I've used for a decade than I would for a mug I'd had for two, even if I'd still want to repair both out of thriftiness. It's a labour of love.
Hi! Considered Janet very seriously, but couldn't see an immediate path to get where I wanted to go with it (web app, using WebGL (ThreeJS)).

There were some useful references in this thread: https://janet.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/409517-help/topic... and maybe I can try them later.

As it was, even with a proven production path, I still barely got something playable on time... ("Playable" is perhaps generous.)
> but what’s less obvious is that the majority is also pretty ignorant about the inner workings of executive leadership.

Idk, I tend to think that people in positions of leadership overestimate their competence and ability to actually effect positive change in an organisation. They're kind of a monkey in the cockpit that we get to point at and say "Because of the monkey we are now doing x, y, z", but whether that monkey is a primate or a probability distribution seems irrelevant. We just watched the entire tech industry trend-follow and overhire, then layoff the overhires without any accountability as to how it happened, and you're positing there's some intangible skill here that a probability distribution can't replicate? Doubt.

Tl;dr - I think executive leadership is careening towards a reckoning that even its entrenched cronyism will be unable to avert. It will take one automated COO or CEO and the whole MBA house of cards will come tumbling down. Real domain expert CEOs will always be around, but the MBA plant will go the way of the support agent.

I can get everywhere I need to go in NYC with a few bucks loaded onto a transit card. In Atlanta I need to rent a car for $100s a day, drive it myself, pay for it's gas, its insurance and parking, prove to the local government that I'm certified to drive it, and also not impaired from driving it at the moment. How do you get "cheaper" from that?

"nicer" and "cleaner" mean the same thing, and I'll give those to you. When you create a transit system that poor people can't afford to use... you don't see poor people anymore. But they didn't disappear, and you didn't solve a problem.

Absolutely agreed on the dietary and other issues, and I think that largely ties into this point well. It wasn't survivorship bias because nearly all of the Ancient Greeks we know of would still have gone down in history whether they had died at 40 or at 80. But there is one major bias. Nearly all were upper class with ready access to the base necessities for a healthy life - clean food, clean water, basic sanitation (toilets/baths), and the ability to avoid the impacts of war.

I think you'll find that if you choose nearly to any comparable sample with similar access, near to regardless of the time era, you will again find life expectancy comparable to modern times. For instance here it is for the ten most famous Founding Fathers (data from GPT for convenience, so hallucinations are possible, but it matches up with my knowledge as well) :

---

George Washington 67 Acute epiglottitis

Thomas Jefferson 83 Natural causes (suspected kidney disease)

John Adams 90 Natural causes

Benjamin Franklin 84 Pleurisy

James Madison 85 Congestive heart failure

Alexander Hamilton 47 Gunshot wound (duel)

John Jay 83 Stroke

James Monroe 73 Heart failure and tuberculosis

Samuel Adams 81 Tremor, possible Parkinson's disease

Patrick Henry 63 Stomach cancer

---

The average age at death, excluding Alexander Hamilton, was 78.8, for people born from ~1700 to 1750! But yeah, like you mentioned - a major issue with is the masses at large were living in crowded unsanitary conditions while and eating/drinking unclean food, often while working dangerous jobs. So I think biasing our sample to the upper class of times past is quite beneficial because now a days even the poor have relatively widespread access to these 'luxuries', so we are more able to compare just life with and without modern medicine/knowledge.

When the sofa refurbisher can only handle 100 sofas a year, the 101st customer doesn't have any where to go. Perhaps the market will then lead a second refurbisher to set up shop but that only moves the constraint somewhere else in the supply chain. By its very nature, these small shops can never serve "everyone" the way the big box retailers and flat pack builders can. It's not really a solution to the problem at hand.

Well, in those days they had a billion less examples than we have today - or at least tens of thousands of common today product categories and things not yet existing.

But they also used weaponry (Zeno on infinite division), chariots (Plato on soul), pots (Plato on art), caves (Plato on reality), dice (Heraclitus on chance), and many other things.

Plus, famous examples tend to be re-invoked (same how computer vision students re-used Lena).

What about the identity side of it? Does the JS specification say that an operation like "a" + "b" is not required to create a new object? Regardless of whether there is such a spec, you can write code that is sensitive to the difference.

I think price per lens would have been fine, yes. That's ultimately what I care about. But I also think that cost-per-quantity-lens-pack, which you list but deprioritized, is more understandable. Sorting by cost per lens but presenting the cost per pack (30, 90, etc.) is likely the sweet spot.
It's an elegant sentence but it's incorrect to say memory save languages are predicated on that? Even a room full of C++ experts who understand this completely and write their code strictly based on formal contracts will still eventually write memory bugs.

Memory safe languages are just predicated on the memory-safety problem being difficult to avoid for humans, because nobody has a 0% error rate. They would still be incredibly necessary and relevant even if nobody relied on "appears to work" as the measure of correctness.

I mean there could be confusion by reading this but the thing is that there is no way to perfectly detect if the image was generated by an AI, but using this tool you can check if the image can be detected as "create by AI" and then you can make it undetectable, I hope you got my point.
I'm currently reading (1954) The Time Regulation Institute [1], which has as plot element a series of fines for people not having their clocks set correctly.

Upon my walls hang two "atomic clocks," identical, which utilize this 60 kHz signal to set each time. For some reason, they are consistantly not set to the same time! In Tanpınar's world, the fines would be laughably immense, updated daily, and intentionally frustrating!

In my present realtime world, it is just mildly frustrating.

This article is misusing the term. Every business supports the lifestyle of its employees, by providing them with money and (sometimes) benefits. But that doesn’t mean every business is a “lifestyle business.”

What makes a “lifestyle business” is that the owner picks the lifestyle they want first, then designs a business around that. For example someone who wants to go rock climbing all the time is not going to consider a furniture repair shop in a big city to be a “lifestyle business.” Probably few people would consider furniture repair to be a lifestyle business, unless your preferred lifestyle is to do manual labor in a crappy warehouse every day with few vacations.

Lifestyle businesses usually take one of a few shapes:

- Monetizing the lifestyle directly: for example Instagram influencers who make a business out of their personal travel, fashion, outdoor adventure, etc.

- Running a high-leverage business at a low intensity: for example a highly automated SaaS business that is kept small and easy to run, so the owner can spend most of their time doing other things. This is usually what VCs look down on, because they seek out high leverage business models and consider anything less than max intensity to be a wasted opportunity.

- Optional businesses: for example low-intensity “consulting” gigs that independently wealthy people operate to keep from being bored, or for tax advantage.

That is an untrue legend.

In 1948 the accounts in Reichsmark, Rentenmark and Besatzungsmark were converted into Deutsche Mark accounts, although in different proportions. Cash was 100 RM to 6,50 DM, stocks in 1:1, other stuff in 10:1.

The core of your urban legend is the Kopfgeld, a cash starter kit like the Euro 50 years later. It consisted of 40 DM in cash and later an additional 20 DM. Those 60 DM were not free but calculated into the converted accounts.

What did happen was that shopkeepers were hoarding goods, especially luxury goods, and only suddenly started selling them after the Währungsreform.

How can you maintain such a position? At some point you’ll have to explain your reasons for draconian measures like this.

That’s why I’m spamming people with “it won’t work” because so many seem fooled by this. You will catch exactly zero people with this. The only people you’ll catch will be the ones that you would have caught anyway, because of their nonchalance.

No sofa has a 25 year warranty on fabric, that wouldn't make sense - but you can of course by insurance for it and usually most non-IKEA sofa shops will offer you Scotchguard cover usually for 3 to 5 years.

Depending on the Sofa you can or course get one that has IKEA+ which is replaceable covers, which you can't do with most other sofas.

(Disclosure: I work at IKEA, although I only found out the 25 year cover a few weeks ago)

As someone who's only dabbled lightly with electronics, maybe I was just doing it wrong, but I didn't have great luck with those Pomona SOIC test clips.

While doing in-circuit SPI flashing of several laptops for Coreboot, getting a good read or write was difficult. One of the many things I'd regularly try was to reseat the clip. Unfortunately, with the Pomona clips, this reseating would tend to catch and push in the pins of the clip, so they started making even poorer contact.

This pushing in was possible because there's not a single rigid pin straight through from the component to the test headers. The pin is 2 or 3 (I forget) parts, and a lower part can pop out of the plastic channel/groove it's in. You can disassemble the clip and push things back together, but it wasn't quite the same as before deformed.

I ended up having better luck with simpler clips that have a single physical pin straight through, such that the header pitch is the same as the component. Then I bent the pins to the side in an alternating pattern, to give enough room to attach my individual wires.

> For high income taxpayers, the long-term capital gains tax could nearly double to 39.6%. That proposed capital gains rate increase would apply to investors who make at least $1 million a year. In fact, it is possible to go even higher, as high as 44.6%. Portions of the General Explanations of the Administration’s FY 2025 Revenue Proposals note that for some taxpayers, if you add several proposals together, they could increase the top marginal rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to 44.6%. It seems unlikely that this major capital gains tax change will be enacted, but time will tell.

I think it is misleading to “capital gains /are/ going to be 44%” when the reality is “if you make more than $1 million a year and if the every tax hike the Biden administration has thought of gets passed into law by Congress, the capital gains rate could be 44%”.

$6k is still wild though, lol. I've also never really cared for leather couches, so spending that much on one is unthinkable to me, but maybe leather is just more expensive than I realized...?
You are moving goal posts.

We are talking about technology as such not necessarily economically competitive.

I wouldn't consider the technology of solar engineering mentioned in your link economically competitive either.

Doable but not cheap.

The same is true for the technology to prevent climate change. It exists but it was expensive.

Interestingly, it's still expensive now because even though the basic technology is cheaper, the timeframe is much shorter, so we have to achieve more in less time than if we had started earlier.
