> Use integer representations of time

This sounds like a type system issue (and the linked Etsy post is also a type system issue), or more precisely languages / systems with a loose type system where you can just pretend a time is a number without having to explicitly say what that number means.

Conventions are good, but (real) type systems are better because they check everything every time.
One simple example is undo. You can simply run `jj undo` if you made a mistake (it obviously won't unpush commits to a remote and such). You can go back as many steps as you like.
Parent comments is still correct, NHS is free from the Financial Incentive problem. I don't think anyone claims the system is good, just this one aspect is correct.

c. 2000's, the reason was much more insidious. It wasn;t about making all the money, it was also about making sure no one else becomes the next facebook to their myspace. Only thing better than 2x engineers making more than 2x dollars, is depriving market value of competition by over 70%. The anti-poaching lawsuits of the early 2010's more or less confirms this intent.

c. 2010's, there's many reasons but the relevant one here is the DEI initaitves. You get tax breaks for diversity, you will hire the right people even if they just sit there. very dishonest, but at least they compensate well. Same logic, if 2x engineers only operate at 0.8x capacity but you save almost half your revenue from not paying taxes, the decision is obvious.

But as you said, we're in the 20's, market is captured, and free money is gone. That era of hoarding technical talent like trading cards is over

> They're not trained for dealing with synthetic images, that couldn't possibly exist in reality, and designed to trip visual processing algorithms up

Neither of these claims are true. ML is highly trained on synthetic images. In fact, synthetic data generation is the way forward for the scale is all you need people. And there are also loads of synthetic images out in the wild. Everything from line art to abstract nonsense. Just take a walk down town near the bars.

> not giving a fuck kills people regardless of the complexity of software involved.

What has me the most frustrated is that this "move fast break things and don't bother cleaning up" attitude is not only common in industry but also in academia. But these two are incredibly intertwined these days and it's hard to publish without support from industry because people only evaluate on benchmarks. And if you're going to hack your benchmarks, you just throw a shit ton of compute at it. Who cares where the metrics fail?
Yes, easily. It's the perfect machine for this and you'll love the experience.

Do you mean software that can modify audio streams via the Windows audio system (as opposed to an ASIO driver used by DAWs)?

DDMF's VirtualAudioStream does that. It allows you to create virtual audio devices with chains of arbitrary VST plugins. As for the VST plugins, there are thousands of free and paid plugins for everything. I'm using VirtualAudio stream to put a Wave's noise cancelling and a good compressor between my mic and Zoom. It increases latency, of course.

> these huge GenAI models are pretty good at things

Is this the sales pitch though? Because 15 years ago, I had a scanner with an app that can scan a text document and produce the text on Windows. The machine had something like 256Mb of RAM.

Tech can be extremely good at niches in isolation. You can have an OCR system 10 years ago and it'll be extremely reliable at the single task it's configured to do.

AI is supposed to bring a new paradigm, where the tech is not limited to the specific niche the developers have scoped it to. However, if it reliably fails to detect simple things a regular person should not get wrong, then the whole value proposition is kicked out of the window.

Another entry for the "good news as bad news" genre, also on Chinese batteries:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/woodmackenzie/2024/04/17/crises...

> Back in 2021 and 2022, battery supply was the biggest bottleneck for the energy storage supply chain. Stationery energy storage system (ESS) integrators and developers spent a considerable amount of time negotiating contracts with battery manufacturers who were instead prioritising automaker clients. Since the second half of 2022, battery cell plants dedicated to the ESS sectors have risen in China, with more than 20 plants announced by the end of 2023. However, less than half of the ESS battery cell capacity was utilised throughout the year. Within 2023, the ESS battery cell market went from a deficit into a surplus. Together with declining battery raw material prices, the price of ESS lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells plummeted by more than 30% within 2023.

> The energy storage system market is even worse.

To summarise in non-scandalised language:

1. They couldn't get grid batteries because the EV market took them all in previous years.

2. People set up new factories specialising in Grid batteries.

3. The grid battery users managed to actually buy some batteries from these factories.

4. The price went down due to the increased supply.

It's not clear if it's partly racism and fossil fuel propaganda but the consistent theme seems to be that American business journalists are horrified that competition can lead to lower prices and margins.

This is the foundational theoretical justification of all free market capitalism and when it actually happens it terrifies them!

Sorry but you read an article in "The Guardian" about how to parent like one of the wealthiest and privileged nations in Europe and you take this as "general advice". THAT is laughable and stupid.

Most of the stuff in this article that is touted as this utopian freedom for kids is what I strongly associate with poverty around the world.

Taking yourself to and back from school? Taking care of yourself because there is nobody else to do it? Spending time outside because you don't want to stay home? Sounds more like every "black teenager in the projects" story I've ever seen on TV.

Sure, it sucks harder for poor people. So rich people shouldn't give their kids the chance to grow up as real people and learn independence? If you can afford a golden cage, lock your kids up? I don't understand that reasoning.

> I think people just have very different tolerances for latency and slowness.

I wonder if it's because of a form of "touch typing". I'm not really looking at text appearing as I type. My fingers work off an internal buffer while my mind is planning the next problem. If not so deep in thought to almost be blind, I am reading other docs / code as I type. I am not an ultra fast typist but if I mistype, I can feel it and don't need the visual feedback to know it. I might be this way because I am old and have used tools with lag you measure in seconds.

I only care about latency if it interrupts me and I have to wait and that's typically not typing but heavier operations. I am utterly intolerant to animations. I don't want less I want zero, instant action. I don't want janky ass "smooth scrolling" I want crisp instant scrolling. I have no idea why animations are even popular.

Some of the text-editor latency discussion reminds me of high screen refresh rates for office work. When people "check the refresh rate" they have to do that violent wiggling of window to actually have large content moving faster enough to see a difference. You have to look for it to then get upset about it.

The worse case would be if it's more of an illusion like fancy wines - a fiction driven by context. Lie to someone that an editor is an electron app and they will complain about the latency. Software judgement also has toxic fashion and tribal aspects. Something unfashionable will accrue unjustified complaints and something cool or "on your team" will be defended from them. I'm reminded of Apple fans making all sorts of claims about rendering unaware that they were using Apple laptops that shipped not running at their natural resolution and visibly blurry.

It's different when you actually have to work (as in exploit you working class) to generate vast wealth vs. you can just dig stuff up in your country and sell it. The former approach is more long-lived as you correctly have discovered, but here and now the latter one is way more powerful if you want heaps of disposable income for the government to fix social issues. So in the long term I would rather bet on the UK than Norway. Maybe less so after Brexit, but the Tories now getting slapped is a start.

Story from my state (2013)

An 11-year-old boy has died and his sister has been injured after a car he was driving crashed in Western Australia's Great Southern.

The boy was driving the car on a farming property near Frankland River, 400 kilometres south-east of Perth yesterday morning.

He and his nine-year-old sister were travelling down their driveway to meet a school bus when the car overturned and hit a tree.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-24/young-boy-killed-whil...

In junior high school if we missed the school bus or didn't feel like taking it we'd often ride a 150 cc dirt bike off road for ~40 km (25 mile) instead (late 1970s).

Oh, and marine butterfly knives were a prized carry - with plastic handles and trapped air tubes for one handed use and buoyancy when fishing.

> Knowing when code will be cumbersome is really difficult when writing fresh.

I think a large part of what goes wrong is that code starts out too simple. When you look back at the history of the code, the original check-ins almost always look good. Good, but very “direct”. Here was the problem, and here we have solved it as bluntly as possible.

As the changes come, they often break concepts that were introduced in those first few check-ins. It’s understandable, the person coming after is just trying to add “that one thing” with as small a change as possible. These accumulate, and soon any semblance of a logical “model” has been lost. A bit of “build an example for others to follow” at the beginning, might have saved things down the track.

However, do too much “over-engineering”, and no one is checking in your code, and you might be wasting tons of effort.

Hence, experience is required to know the basic pitfalls that develop, and where you need to put in the extra for that initial check-in. Many code-bases, of course, are started by people without that experience, and balls of mud inevitably develop.

You can refactor them! It’s carve out chunks, partition them off, keep the two in parallel until the new is as stable as the old. Banks have actually done this; not all of them. The reality is that if you don’t, new features simply cost too much to be worth developing. You can eventually be completely paralysed by technical debt.

Also his earlier slim Writing Efficient Programs book. What this teaches you is how to think about efficiency from the top down with an emphasis on Algorithm and Language and hence useful to all programmers. Pair it with modern books on efficiency which deal mainly with compiler-level/OS-level/Processor-level performance techniques by Agner Fog, Fedor Pikus etc. and you get a complete picture.
