I must confess this is exactly why I started consulting and the changing projects and tech (software for different product niches) force me to learn something new in every project. I really like this.

I noticed a pattern where I stopped enjoying work after about one year when I learned enough for it to become routine and would start thinking about changing job or get fired because I would become unproductive because of boreout. Or get fired because I told someone on the team that I didn't care.. who told the management.

Yes, that's what we do!

But haven't we been saying this in the West forever: "the Chinese copy: they buy our products, take them apart, and just copy"?

Now we realize that they actually learned, and it was not straightforward. They are ahead in robotics, and we can't just "copy": we have to learn. And it takes time.
ah, yeah, i don't know what to tell you, i've gone through the code base a bunch and there isn't much i feel like i can take out that would make much of a difference without a major step back in functionality: history support is a big one, input gathering has gotten more complex as i behave the way forms in HTML actually work, i have a lot of events that i fire, there's the queuing behavior of requests, etc.

my understanding from the browser engineers is that javascript files are compiled and kept in a cache for the browser, and i never see compilation or execution times in htmx profiles unless someone is processing a ton of htmx attributes (1000+ row tables w/ loads of hx-* attributes per row) which is an orthogonal problem

end of the day i don't think grinding out another few K on the minified source is gonna make a big diff, although we do plan on doing things like moving to modern closures (i assume gzip nukes most of that advantage, idk)

i think a minimal preact-like htmx might be interesting, not as minimal as htmz, but something close. might be worth looking at if you are interested, the concept isn't hard and w/ different design decisions you could prob keep it really small
I find it very hard to believe this can sustain into the longterm as a basis of value relative to real goods and services.

But, having said that, I'm basically confronting a bunch of people in the economics field who tend to say "you're wrong" when I say this kind of thing.

How can a single entity making something so completely orthogonal to mining, metals production, food, clothing, plastics, oil, medicine be worth more than any other company existing? It defies logic.

Isn't this the very definition of a bubble? I understand they make things. But, the contribution of those things to real goods value is infinitessimal. Their contribution to intellectual property, and value inherent in other bubble/meme things like AI, I can get. So, if you believe we're facing the Kurzeweil uplift into the singularity, being the chip maker behind the machines we're going to live in is value, but I am not in that tribe.

I'm not seeking to start a wankwar, I really don't understand how this can be true as a perpetuating state of affairs.

If I were using one of these things, that's what I'd do. (Preferably rewriting the commit to read Author: AcmeBot, Committer: wizzwizz4) It's important that commit history accurately reflect the development process.

Now, pushing an untested commit? No no no. (Well, maybe, but only ever for backup purposes: never in a branch I shared with others.)
> I think we have a tendency to look down on Chinese manufacturers as copycats, but DJI is an exception to that rule.

Either they are an exception to the rule, or we under-estimate the work needed to make proper copycats.

Maybe we are just realizing that it takes a lot of work to learn what's needed to "copy", as we are trying to copy DJI ourselves.

DJI is just extremely good. It feels like we have been trying to copy them for 10 years, but they are still moving faster than we can catch up. It feels like the gap is getting bigger, sometimes...
Surely the fines will become exponentially bigger every time they are caught doing the same, right?
Ravi's my cousin.
It’s the only question worth asking, ever, about law: when the law is inevitably misused, how bad is the outcome?
1. Proportionality. Fines should be proportional to the company's size, revenue, and the severity of the violation. The financial impact should be significant enough to grab the company's attention and incentivize change.

2. Escalating penalties. Implement a system of escalating penalties for repeated violations w/increased monitoring.

3. Transparency. Publicly disclose the details of labor violations and the fines imposed.

4. Targeted sanctions. Temporary suspension of licenses, government contracts, at local, state & federal level.

5. Victim comp. Ensure that a portion of fines go towards comping the affected workers.

>Unlike existing approaches to 3D Gaussian Splatting, we propose to interpret the training process
of placing and optimizing Gaussians as a sampling process. Rather than defining a loss function and simply taking steps towards a local minimum, we define a distribution G which assigns high
probability to collections of Gaussians which faithfully reconstruct the training images.

What is the practical difference here? MCMC itself samples more from higher probilities than lower ones (ie. towards a local minimum). Is it just that we sample more from lower ends of the distribution? Or is it more about formalizing the previous algorithm so that it is easier to play with the different parameters? (eg. the acceptance threshold)

I’m not sure how to put this nicely, but your managers don’t seem to have had good management training. The first clue is that they assign work. Your shop works in sprints, so I presume they’re trying to do agile. Management assigning tasks is the opposite of how it’s supposed to go.

Ideally, an engineering manager makes sure the team has what they need to be successful. Resources, processes, goals, training, etc. Is all of that taken care of and they want to be more involved?

Snake robots aren't that hard to make. The Tesla auto charger demo was a good idea.[1] People thought it was creepy, but it's much simpler mechanically than other ways of doing the same thing.

The snake part is just disks with cables through them. The motors are all in the base. So the part that might get damaged can be made easily replaceable.

I consider myself an agnostic, but a fantasy I allow myself is that simulation theory is true, and that souls are real, which is possible under simulation theory, because it would allow for information about the physical world (like the physical structure of someone’s brain including memories) could be stored outside of the universe in some type of database. I’m not saying I believe this but just considering it as a possibility is something I like to think about.

I don't understand what you mean that SBCs are sold as entire laptops. SBC is Single Board Computer. Like a raspberry pi. A raspberry pi is not a laptop.

what i mean to say by "while they are historic and beloved today that was not always the case." is that people often complained about them in the era that they were built, because people back then also did not like the new cheap stuff and had rose tinted glasses about the good old days.

As a general example, New York's iconic brownstones were also complained about in their era because they were prone to crumbling and flaking, and yet now they are beloved pieces of city history worth millions of dollars. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/23/nyregion/saying-goodbye-t...

Based on numbers's numbers above, the fine is 0.001039% of their annual revenue. If your salary was $100k, an equivalent fine would be $1.04. Wouldn't people speed more often if they got caught once a year and paid a $1 fine?

Why do you think we should be so much more lenient with companies that knowingly break the law and make life worse for thousands of less fortunate people?
No, but making Signal decentralized won't change anything. It'll still just be banned from the app stores, and whether it uses a central server or not won't matter at all.
The false colouring is mainly due to the fact that they are using beams of electrons, not visible light. But a typical virus is ~100nm ( https://book.bionumbers.org/how-big-are-viruses/ ) and the wave length of green light ~500 nm. So I guess it isn't really meaningful to ask 'what colour is a virus'.

If you're the government wanting to see the status of the whole country very quickly vs waiting for every single local farmer to report their results to be compiled into a larger view, the satellite view is much more efficient.

Judging from the spiderwebs clinging to it, the emergency stairway was hardly ever used.

To each web clung a small black spider, patiently waiting for its small prey to come along.

Not that the spiders had any awareness of being “patient.”
A spider had no special skill other than building its web, and no lifestyle choice other than sitting still.
It would stay in one place waiting for its prey until, in the natural course of things, it shriveled up and died.
This was all genetically predetermined. The spider had no confusion, no despair, no regrets. No metaphysical doubt, no moral complications. Probably.

The words of a human shouldn't necessarily represent reality, especially when the human in question is a politician and not a scientist. Your argument doesn't make much sense.

Furthermore, no one could have predicted the mass protests, scandals, and fears that nuclear energy has sparked over the decades. These factors have significantly reduced the hype and investment in the sector.
> Do you really think that the current situation poses a >25% cost on scientific productivity? Do you think your system would be able to recapture that?

Yes and yes. I'm 6 years past defending my PhD and I have low confidence in being able to reproduce results from papers in my field (computational biophysics).

I was recently at an industry-heavy biophysics conference that ran a speed dating event, and my conversation starter was "what fraction of papers in our field do you trust?". I probably talked to ~20 people, with a median response of ~25%.

Even a tiny amount invested in reproduction studies and accountability would go a long way. Most papers in _computational_ biophysics still don't publish usable code and data.
