Sure-- the first issue is that NPM is a JavaScript registry, and it's bad form to restrict usage of your library to Typescript projects, or require non TS users to go through hoops to use your code. Additionally, if your own project executes as JavaScript (the vast majority of cases other than sort of Deno), your project will need to do special work to have JS files produced for the TS only library-- by default this won't happen so imports to the library will fail at runtime. When you do add node_modules/some-package to your TS project, this will change the structure of the files emitted into your output directory (assuming you use one, which is highly recommended), creating weird pathing like dist/src/main.js. Also the module would end up in dist/node_modules/some-package, which would be fine as long as the package isn't using non-code files within its module, which it likely is. And of course, you'd be missing all export information within that folder, which is likely to break imports, so you'll need to copy the package.json....

This is all a massive breach of encapsulation.

Is it possible to consume a TS only library distributed via NPM in a Node.js Typescript project? Yes, certainly. Is it ergonomic for consumers? No, certainly not.

Overall, it will be a bad experience for a lot of environments where JS files are expected to be present but aren't. Deno is probably the only environment that can consume NPM packages where it could conceivably work.

>There are many, many reasons why we have sex-separated spaces: privacy, dignity, modesty, safety, fairness, peace of mind, personal hygiene, santiation, cleanliness of facilities, lesbian and gay socialising, group bonding, therapeutic efficacy, organizing and campaigning.

But that was only half of the equation. Why are these "rights" only relevant for women? How can you define these as a right if other groups do not have the same protection?

>privacy, dignity, modesty,

Can a straight man cite his right for "privacy, dignity, modesty" when kicking a gay man out of a locker room?

>safety

Do you think it would be safe for a trans woman who has surgically transitioned to be housed in a male prison?

>fairness

I dedicated almost that whole previous post trying to get you to define what a right to "fairness" really means, but you ignored all those questions.

>peace of mind

Do you think a passenger should be able to force an airline to kick a Muslim off a plane to get "peace of mind"?

>personal hygiene, santiation, cleanliness of facilities,

Are my rights violated if I walk into a public restroom and the person before me didn't flush?

>lesbian and gay socialising

If homosexuals have a right to their own segregated socializing environment, can a school host a dance for only straight people?

Alan Kay on "AI", human augmentation and Doug Engelbart, June 2024, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40868478

One big distinction in the 1962 time period is that they thought of “machine intelligence” as being a kind of complimentary set of thinking tools that could be “symbiotic” to how humans were able to think. They were not at all thinking about something like a slave or a major domo, but something more like a research assistant or a “Memex” (the latter was a big influence on Doug’s thinking).

In the very late 60s the “official AI researchers” started to think that something like “intelligent Greek slaves” were needed for the “Romans” (Americans), and became rivals to Doug’s notion of elevating human thinking rather than just elevating power. This was a bad idea then … and it’s a bad idea today.

How do you decide which researchers to invest in? Ultimately you need some kind of institution to organize this, and I promise you it will end up very similar to a university.

Also, tenure is generally seen as a very important part of research. Without tenure your livelihood is dependent on your output and your relationships, which creates numerous perverse incentives. You can't research things which might lead nowhere, or you'll lose your job. You can't prove some other senior researcher wrong, or they might work to have you fired.

With tenure, this all goes away: you are free to choose your own path in research, and empowered to know you don't have any superiors who can lose you your livelihood if you step on their toes, or their friends' toes. Of course, this is the ideal. In practice, lots of tenured professors actually want to become ever more wealthy and powerful and are not content with the guarantees of their tenuership.
Many treatments today focus on simply killing the rogue cells. You dont really need to interface with something if your objective is to destroy it.

Those numbers include contributions to PACs, which was the point.

It was also my point that it isn’t obvious how to limit donations to groups publishing information, such as Wikipedia. Today, PACs have a carveout that distinguishes them from organizations like Wikipedia or propublica, but not in a way that limits contributions. Those organizations would be the subject of lawsuits and scrutiny that would be hard to codify in a reasonable way if that were not the case.

I've run many teams like this and have generally received good feedback from my teams. It's pretty simple in my experience. Don't punish people for making generally sound decisions that end in failure. Reward them for decisions that end in success. The issue is that managers need to eat some of the risk of those failures although it is offset by the benefit of the team's successes. Few managers are actually able to do this versus trying to dump all the risk somewhere else (usually onto their teams). But if you can maintain a management layer like that then it's amazing.
I get migraines from two situations:

1. Stress. Significant stress can lead to migraines and I can feel them slowly start to build in the upper front of my brain above my left eye (or at least that's what it feels like). This can be stress from work or from kids or whatever.

2. Blips. I don't know how to describe these really. It's like my brain doesn't quite know how to process what's going on. An example: I gave my kids some ice cream for a snack one day after asking my wife if I should and her saying yes. 5 minutes later, she comes into the kitchen and says "Do we have any ice cream for the kids?". I respond with "Yes, I just gave them some, like we discussed." Her response: "We should give the kids some ice cream."

Now, that's a little bit of a weird conversation, and I think she was distracted by someone messaging her on her phone, but my brain just kind of "blipped" and didn't quite know how to handle it and it was instant blurred vision.

This reminds me of the company Loyal - a startup aiming at medical approaches to longevity by first treating pets/dogs. It's easier (I assume) from a regulation/moral standpoint to test therapies on animals instead of humans. I wonder if developing therapies for animal cancers first could be profitable, to bring in investment and prove a theory, and then expand to humans in a similar way.

The past is a guide to the future, but no guarantee of it.

Real wages, age of home ownership, age when folks decide to start a family, choose a metric that will stand up to any scrutiny and the advance of broad-based welfare has been in retreat for well over a decade.

Slightly more anecdotally but still very well documented is the proliferation of homeless folks, often families now, often recently employed now, living in ever-growing tent encampments in major urban areas.

When operations research PhDs have all real constraints removed social, regulatory, and legal and arbitrarily increasing compute and governmental influence (we just the other day tore down the Chevron Deference doctrine) things get real neo-feudal, real fast.

I think it's more specific than that. You're right that the advertiser using the platform to target an ad isn't exclusively problematic. Also problematic is the person who uses the platform in a targeted way to shape the global narrative according to some agenda they have. There's something antisocial about seeking influence over people who don't know you.

In some sense perhaps the attention economy that arises from this scenario is inescapable. But we have a lot of gray area between whether we make it something to be encouraged or whether we make it something to be mitigated.

If I had kids, I'd rather they use social media that aims to connect people with their friends without giving anyone a megaphone or a lever to influence the big picture narratives in flux at any given moment. As far as I'm aware, such media are in short supply. And as software folk it is we who should be doing the supplying.
That's a great idea, thanks.

> Besides, if the President declares that you must as an official act, alas you must or face the unmitigated consequences (according to recent rulings).

That is not true... at all. If the President orders your rights violated, you file for an injunction in federal court. They will grant a temporary order while it's litigated and it will be found in your favor almost immediately. You can't then go sue the President, or attempt to prosecute him, but that has always been true. The United States and all its officers have immunity. Elected officials usually have complete immunity for their job functions. If you don't like your mayor you can't prosecute him for neglect.
I think, as Blizzard demonstrated, it's not universally true that faster is better.

In some markets it's better to be slower to market with a better product, e.g. Apple

Unless you have few, very simple thoughts, feedback is not really effective, nor scalable, compared to self validation for which writing is required.
that whole suing farmers for patent infringement for using seeds from their own fields that were contaminated by the neighbor's Monsanto plants thing sticks out for me.
> In what sense can it be scrutinised? To what end can the court scritinise the act? Overturning the act itself?

Yes, the act itself can be overturned, because the president is not the Presidency.

Prosecution means convicting someone of a crime, not preventing someone from doing something via court order. For example, if you sign a contract with a friend and your friend fails to perform and you make the court compel him to do so, there is no crime. If he doesn't follow the order, the court will hold him in contempt. Contempt is not a criminal matter. Judges can hold whomever they want in contempt.

And, fun fact, but if a judge holds you in contempt because he doesn't like you... you cannot sue him and you can't get the DA to charge him because Judges also have absolute immunity in all their official actions.
What are you on about, mate? Universities significantly predate even the concept of capital. Not universities as a concept, but specific universities that you can go to today - notably Oxford and Cambridge, but many others in Europe. And their purpose has almost always been scholarship, not employment. Most modern universities stem from institutions meant to find better ways to understand God's work, and perhaps to better worship it. The Catholic Church was the primary "investor" for a long stretch of time, at a time when it was a more powerful "state" than almost any other in Europe.

"Out of Band" network management is not trivial
Fair, but if you don't fall into the pit of despair by consuming micro libraries (ie "is-true" or "leftpad"), the overhead of having source and source maps present on a developer environment or even a server deployment is not terrible. If you are bundling for web delivery, those files will be omitted automatically by nature of the bundling process.

While it would be nice to have native support for package components, personally I think the best path is to ship all of it (save perhaps documentation, where there's currently no ergonomic way for a consumer to make use of it) in the main package.

The above is assuming "docs" mean some kind of external documentation, you absolutely should not strip out your docblocks when you package your code. Ditto for minification: Just don't. If the end user needs to optimize for size, they will be minifying anyway, all packaging minification does is create painful debugging and code reading experiences for consumers.
So this is an area where I can speak from experience. I was previously employed as the ML research scientist for a startup that designed and implemented an mmwave radar-based solution for the use case of seniors in independent living situations. That company fell apart for reasons unrelated to the technical side, unfortunately.

What we found is that seniors had essentially no desire to wear any sensors, which rules out the wearable inertial sensors mentioned in the paper. Also as others have mentioned, a sensor that captures visual images is a nonstarter due to privacy protections on a regulatory level but also privacy concerns on a personal level.

I'd add one other set of challenges that is unfortunately never covered in the academic literature - non-ideal rooms for monitoring signals. The papers show empty conference rooms with line-of-sight between sensors and people, but real settings are much messier. Not only is there furniture to block or distort signals, but also many sources of noise like fans, metal objects, open windows (which cause breezes to move curtains and other objects), pets, visitors, etc. Not to mention the unique room configurations for every person. We overcame several of these challenges but didn't develop perfect answers for many of them.

It was a fun position that gave me a weirdly specific set of knowledge that isn't always transferable on a technical level but was still great, and I wish it could have lasted longer. I'd be happy to share more info though if you're curious!

AI Researcher Reveals Scary Future of Employment [video]
I'm not sure what "empowered" means relative to the parent article.

Aligning each employee's incentives with ROI seems extremely difficult.

The former Yugoslavia had a system of self-managed enterprises where large firms shared profits equally among employees and employees ran the enterprise democratically (usually electing a manager). The problem is that profitable enterprises would democratically decide not to hire any more people since doing so would dilute their profits.
There is no simple answer here…it’s a mix of scenarios: migration, resources, cultures, historical needs, and govt policies, and corruption.

The US population expanded from the North East where the Industrial Revolution began. Economic jobs boomed and so did wealth. California created a tech boom, and Texas created an oil boom. While southern and middle states lack technology, industry, precious metals.

Major European countries (cold) joined forces economically to prevent ruin, while middle eastern countries (warm) face USSR style corruption.

In Russia, most of the countries resources are reverted to Moscow or St Petersburg. While warmer AND colder areas of the country lack basic funding/upkeep.

South Africa has the highest GDP in Africa primarily due to historical colonialism stabilizing the area and turning it into a major port. While surrounding countries are 1/10th the GDP due to govt policies and corruption.

The east side of Australia is heavily built up compared to the rest of the country. This is due to port access and farmland while the west coast is much more dry and rocky.

Obviously this isn’t exhaustive, but serves the point. There is no single answer and “warm is poor” only applies to VERY select regions.
I've been watching MaidSafe/Autonomi for a while now and I'm excited to see how it goes for them. It's not a blockchain, it's not BitTorrent, but (if I've understood it) the Kademlia DHT is a bit of a fusion between the two.
