We're still here because you seem to continue to misunderstand (assuming you're posting in good faith). "There's nothing you can say to convince me because you likely have nothing to say that is backed up by facts" is asking for something concrete that is a reason governments would view certain companies as too untrustworthy to work with. I specifically said that it doesn't matter if you like him, that's different from being so untrustworthy that their services shouldn't be used despite being the best option.

The only thing you've pointed to is an incident that obviously does not rise to the level of being a reason for a government to not work with a Musk-owned company. He responded to a guy who told him to shove his submarine up his ass by calling him a pedo, it was admittedly an incredibly dumb way to handle it, but obviously not a reason for a government to not work with him. The rest of what you've said is the usual thing where people make comments vaguely about an issue without ever saying anything specific so you can't be countered. Every thing I mentioned is backed up by articles:

The Starlink TOS mentions that it cannot be used in weaponry (ie drone control) because that brings it under ITAR export restrictions, which requires approval by the US government (and afaik the government has not authorized this): https://www.starlink.com/legal/documents/DOC-1041-35650-61

The report of the outages mentions itself that "The batch of terminals were also rotated out as concerns grew that service could be turned off, in order to minimize the impact, the source said." :https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/04/politics/spacex-ukraine-elon-...

The Crimea service activation correction: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/sep/12/elon-musk-biog...

The DoD commenting on the difficulty of ensuring Russia can't use Starlink: https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2024/05/defense-departmen...

That said, I'll stop here, I think I've said enough that other open minded people will be able to form a less biased opinion even if you refuse to engage in good faith.
This is such a difficult topic. When I started my undergraduate in CompSci, the department of 300 students had exactly 3 women. The faculty had way more female instructors than it did students. The Commucation Sciences department, which was on the same campus, had the inverse student population.

I'm all in favour for letting students making their own study (and career) choices, but when the imbalance is this great, I can't but help think that valuable perspectives are lost. And that's just looking at the sexes, that doesn't even take into account what could be gained from interacting with folks with different socio-economic backgrounds, who were equally underrepresented.

Trying to keep barriers for entry low seems worth while. Organizations which help people break into non-traditional fields (for their background/sex/whatever) also seem to be worth while. Funding them seems like a no brainer. This isn't limited to girls in tech. Also boys in nursing, poor kids in law school, brown kids in politics, whatever.

ChatGPT is so smart for some questions, e.g. it can literally do probability calculations or advanced math equations and get them right most of the time. But ask it about creative ideas and try to spar with it a bit and it will just regurgitate the same ideas and concepts. Not sure if this a problem with the prompt but I find it seriously limited for creative work. Still very good though, while it can't come up with very creative stuff by itself it can sometimes nudge you in the right direction.

Didn't Apple stop slowing people's old phones down when they were caught a few years ago? That probably plays a factor.
Love it. I came to this same insight about nix and containers being two approaches to a dynamic linking work around, but via a different path, of building my own little container runtime.

Feels like we are building things who's original purpose is now holding us back, but path dependence leaves us stuck wrapping abstractions in other abstractions.

It seems that you have to maintain hand-coded mappings for each type. Maybe this could be solved by using C++23's compile-time reflections.
Absolutely not true. Recruiters get between 20-35% of the first year candidate salary. Something like Triplebyte can make hiring better candidates faster, even if it charges the same.

I never used TB, but their model appeared broken. Instead of a tool used by recruiters, they aimed at replacing recruiters.
Do you think we the people chose the presidential candidates we keep having? There are multiple levels of representation, and all of them are tainted by special interests and partisanship.

The primary system can choose candidates however they wish -- the Constitution does not specify the method [1]. A Democratic challenger to Biden this time was blatantly refused ballot access in many states. Backroom deals can cause good candidates to drop out and support worse candidates (see Buttigieg dropping out in 2020 and supporting Biden, and then Biden appoints him SecTrans). Kamala Harris was among the worst performers in the 2020 Democratic primary, but for some reason she was chosen (not elected, mind you, but chosen by Biden's team) as Biden's running mate, so now the Democrats have no good choices.

The Electoral College is winner-take-all in many places and the congressional districts are often gerrymandered to completely eliminate representation of the minority party. For example, Nashville had a Democrat representative, but after redistricting the city was split like a pizza among three mostly rural GOP districts to completely eliminate its member of Congress [2]. It is the capital of the state and largest city but has no member of Congress now.

I'm glad you have such a positive view of US democracy, but many of us living here are extremely worried about our trajectory.

> Are you implying that these three pillars will be able to produce anywhere near the current amount of content we produce?

Do you think the vast "amount of content we produce" is actually propped up by copyright? Have you ever heard of someone who started their career on YouTube due to copyright? On the contrary, how often have you heard of people stopping their YouTube career due to copyright, or explicitly limiting the content they create? I have only heard of cases of the latter. In fact, the latter partially happened to me.

> How in the world where digital copies are effectively free to copy and infinitum would a creator reap any benefits from that network effect?

You are making an assumption that people should reap (monetary) benefits for creating things. What you are ignoring is that the world where digital copies are effectively free is also the world where original works are insanely cheap as well. In this world, people create regardless of monetary gain.

To make this point: how much money did you make from this comment that you posted? It's covered by copyright, so surely you would not have created it if not for your own benefit.
Interesting. I'm always skeptical of blog posts companies make about themselves, but I can definitely see how block-level deduplication could be a huge help.

I wonder how it scales with the numbers of blocks (e.g. with 10 TB of data)? I would guess that it would really help with the amount of data stored but then slow way down as more data gets added due to the extra overhead of tracking and deduping.

Also, does it work across repositories?

What specifically is meant by "Modern Development Experience"? I see github eliminating a lot of useful development pain points with its tools for repository collaboration and integration, which is what I associate with the current trend with repositories, but this post is focusing just on having data with the code which is an interesting assumption...
I got the iPhone 3G, 4, 5, 6, and 7 at release. New phone every two years like clockwork. Then I got the 12 mini because finally, a small phone again. Also the 7 was nearing the end of support. I still have the 12 mini. I will keep it until iOS no longer supports it.

I also have an iPad Pro 3rd gen. I thought it would lose support this year, but no! It's confirmed at least one more year.
I never brought popularity up: that mostly leads to lots of small snippets but not a big amount of working code. You can have an unpopular language with a few productive actors producing lots of code.

I argue that "chronic inconvenience" is disproven by so many working programs. Even if one argues it's an inconvenience, it is a minor one or it would be hard for non-newbies to produce so much with Python.
These days the real limiting factor is software over hardware when it comes to phone cameras. There's an enormous amount of processing dedicated to making them look just the way people want.

I love these devices but we've got all M1 devices (two M1 Maxes, an M1 Air, an M1 iPad) and iPhones 13 and they're just too good to need to replace. Apple really blew it out of the water with that CPU class.

As someone who uses Mac products (macpro, ipad, iphone), I can say I've never had hardware from any other vendor which has lasted so long. Their gear stays functional for several years (especially the macbook pro) and the only reason I upgrade my iphone was because I get tired of replacing the battery.

My old Macbook from 2016 is still being used by my wife and the only issue she has is hard drive space. The compute power is still spot on. My reason for upgrading to a M1 was just because I wanted to play with the ARM chipset.

I've never had any other brand of laptop or phone age so well (maybe because my last Android was from 2014). There's a cost premium for Apple but I think over time, their gear is more cost effective.

What those other creatures eat or use are not metals, but chemical substances that contain chemical elements that would have been metals in their pure elemental state.

For instance, many living beings, from bacteria to vertebrates make and use magnetite crystals, for sensing the magnetic field of the Earth.

Magnetite contains iron ions and pure iron is a metal. Nevertheless, magnetite is not a metal, but a ionic crystal, i.e. an insulator. Your blood contains iron and your bones contain calcium, but none of that iron or calcium is in metal form, all are oxidized ions.

There are no living beings that have metallic components. There are a few bacteria that are able to reduce to metallic form the metals that are the easiest to reduce, i.e. gold and silver. However those bacteria do not use in any way the metallic gold or silver that is precipitated outside their bodies by their activity. The reducing of gold and silver is just a defense mechanism for those bacteria, because the ions of gold or silver kill bacteria, and their precipitation when they are reduced removes them from the environment.

As I have said almost all metallic elements present close to the surface of the Earth or of any other planet of this type are oxidized, i.e. they are positive ions that are bound in various ionic substances, like oxides or sulfides, and they can be found inside the bodies of the living beings in the same state as outside (unlike carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, which are oxidized outside, but reduced inside the bodies of the living beings).

Only a few metallic elements are found also as native metals, i.e. copper, silver, gold, mercury and the platinum-group metals. Even for these metallic elements, most of them are far more abundant in oxidized forms (like sulfides or arsenides) than in metallic forms. Only gold is more abundant in metallic form than in oxidized forms, like tellurides (and that is due in good part to the fact that tellurium is also a very rare element, otherwise more gold would be found combined than in metallic form; the gold ions are extremely large, so that they cannot combine well with ions smaller than the telluride ion, like the sulfide ion that combines well with the smaller silver ions).

> Question: where does the idea that democracy and republic are incompatible comes from?

It’s just a retort that American conservatives like to say whenever American liberals mention how undemocratic/unfair the electoral college or the senate is. There’s no real historical substance to the phrase. It only became common to hear after the 2000 and 2016 elections where republicans won the presidency but received fewer total votes, the same scenario which almsot happened in 2020 and could very well happen in 2024.
Wireless charging generates a lot more sustained heat, which can, hypothetically (and in some cases has been demonstrated to) cause chemical degradation of the battery faster. Heat and high charging speeds, combined with keeping the battery at extremes (close to 0%, close to 100%) is the worst combination.
Yeah, they tried very hard to take my headphone jack away by slowing down my iPhone 6. I waited for them to add that option to disable the throttler. Only reason I recently stopped using that phone is it completely died from being dropped.

They weren't just slowing down old phone's. They were maintaining battery life by throttling the CPU.

As far as I know they added a setting to turn that feature off. Not sure if that's on by default or not.

What a value proposition! ;-)
I still have a couple old iPhone 7s that work just fine as basic phones that I don't care if I lose them or they are stolen.

The only issue I'm seeing is the iOS updates. Some apps can't be downloaded on iOS 13 any more.
There are two schools of thought. One strives for correctness, even if that requires extra effort. Another is "anything goes as long as it somehow kind of works more than it doesn't."

(Actually it's most probably a spectrum rather than a binary division, but I'm no philosopher or sociologist, so for example's sake I'll operate with this simplified model here.)

The world en masse is generally preferring the latter (picking the easiest solutions, no matter how shitty they are - that's how we ended up with what we have today*), but among the engineers there are a significant number of people who believe that's how things should be.

There are numerous issues with copying and pasting `curl | bash` invocations from random webpages: all sorts of potential security issues, the installed software (if it works) could be installed in a way different from how your OS/distribution does things (or from your personal preferences), leading to all sorts of future issues, etc etc. Someone probably has a good write-up on this already. But - yeah - on the other hand, it works for number of people.

*) And, of course, the opinions if what we have today is "good progress" or "unbearable crap" also vary.

Fair enough, I have personally spent a decent chunk of time configuring my Emacs setup (though it has mostly stabilized at this point). You may be interested in checking out Doom Emacs[0] if you want to take a stab at it in the future. It sounds like it would be an out of the box experience closer to what you would want.

Sorry, no. Creating a search-based PIM over old backups seems a doable thing. But for now, hmm, youtube has a "before:2015" syntax..., but still, "teaching estimation" or "estimating jellybeans" or blocks, or etc. And some education sites used to self host videos. :/

It wasn't anything singular. Telegraphing/hinting at the desired response. Questions series amenable to surface pattern matching, rather than scaffolding or probing understanding. Coaching for response rather than for understanding. Lack of clarity on why estimate, and how.

Except for that last... I imagine having a film crew hovering was not low stress, especially when things weren't going well. And at the time, when early-primary estimation was still a newish thing, having even a crufty idea what it could look like might still be worthwhile training-wise. Hopefully similar work would now be better?
The patent system certainly needs reform, but I think more along the lines of what gets accepted as a patent. Discovering what I would describe as a 'natural law' should not be patentable (but I think happens everyday), and those ideas should not be kept from human progress, imho. There's a line between research paper and patent, that I believe is blurred for profit.

But a true invention, a novel use of those laws, should be patentable. Are you saying that if you discover a novel use of natural laws, a product that could be capitalized, your own unique idea, that you should not be able to capitalize on it? Maybe this would work in a trek economy, but not with capitalism.

If your worried about innovation, how innovative could we be if discoveries/inventions were squandered because there are no protections if you happen to even mention your idea to someone?

The article is about the UK and so is the comment chain. These places might be in the north of England, but at no point was the context switched to England, except implicitly by the commenter which is why I added the note.

English people will implicitly change the context, and other English people will follow but this can be confusing for other readers since they might assume the north of the UK (Scotland) when they are really talking about the middle of the UK (north of England).
Interesting, I guess the focus there is more on scripting.
For 1JPM the focus is more Maven/Gradle similarity with Java build file.
Why not use them yourself if you have access? I have been using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for gardening recently, and while it's not perfect(and can be a little blind unless you tell it to focus on a specific thing), it's helped me understand how to keep my plants alive in some challenging conditions(for me; this is my second or third attempt at gardening so it's all challenging lol). But just a experiment with it and see where the capabilities lie. I do agree that certain classes of visual data are challenging for it.
As a point of clarification, the script does not edit your zshrc file, it just prints a suggested edit that you may want to make to that file in order to add zed to your PATH.
I do wonder how much of my finding everything so simple today is a function of my having done this work for 40 years? OTOH, there are solutions that can be easily built today that would have been nigh impossible to have built in the past.

I think the problem now is a pedagogical problem. I don't think we need nearly as many computer scientists as we do people who are practiced in the craft. We need more tradesmen than experts, more blacksmiths than metallurgists, so-to-speak. But I don't think the typical "software bootcamp" is a good trade school. We need some kind of trade school and apprenticeship solution where after a couple of years you're a solid developer with real-world experience.
Yeah, I agree about VSCode being sort of fast enough. Computers are getting faster and I’m on a M-series mac which makes web rendering much faster but still I feel like as far as electron apps go: VScode is basically the golden child.

> more difficult due to the higher bar of existing engines,

Not necessarily, unless you're trying to incorporate as much tech as possible into one engine like UE5 or something. Also, I think people underestimate how much game engines are modified to suit specific purposes. Sometimes porting an Unreal or Unity project can require hundreds of thousands of lines of bespoke code to get it working on a certain platform or to fully integrate a specific technology.

> or more easy due to the vastly increasing hardware power we have available?

This, definitely not. Rendering tech got more complicated, in a good way, but not in a beginner-friendly one. For example; ray tracing is a bit of a "holy grail" for physically-based rendering. It's been attainable on consumer GPUs for a while now, but reaching a realtime framerate requires an incredible amount of software trickery.
The obvious reason not to do the probe is because they were ordered by someone else they hold more dear not to do that, or it was expedient to protect someone they hold more dear -- any arrests yet?

The UK's Russia dossier seemed to get buried by the then PM Alexander Boris de Pfeffle Johnson. Does USA have Putin collaborators in high places too?
I agree, if it's just a reminder, it's not as bad, it's just a step in the wrong direction. If they then change it to prevent you from breaking the limit, that will really be a nightmare scenario.
It's surprising because these models are pretty ok at some vision tasks. The existence of a clear failure mode is interesting and informative, not embarrassing.
