reproductive sex is binary.

Dawkins knows better and knows that that humans are born that are not clearly male, not clearly female, and also very clearly neither male nor female.

That's actual empirical observed science. There are peer reviewed medical papers in respected journals that look at hundreds of thousands of birth records and break the numbers down on distributions of chromosonal variations at birth.
Oh my goodness; the new Sonos app is so unequivocally bad compared to the previous design.

Literally everything I do with our speakers is more difficult now, especially anything that involves searching for music or radio stations.

The new app also removed the ability to "easily" synchronize volumes across a group of speakers by moving the volume slider to zero then to the desired volume.

I honestly don't know what the product team for the app was thinking. It's as if they forewent customer testing in favor of pulling a Steve Jobs.
If those libraries are doing something at import time, then it could take any amount of time, TBF.
>Waiting for the yearly royalties of your songs is different than picking cans because it don't require any effort.

is this one of those xkcd mentos moments here? You are not familiar with any situations where artists have been screwed out of royalties, underpaid, lied to etc. and have to spend time with lawyers to get their loyalties.

Given the well known financial reporting patterns of the various media industries any artist who does not put any effort into getting their royalties is an artist who essentially does not get their royalties.

>Stardom duration is also relative as you are always losing fans and earning new fans.

I mean you are saying these things but they seem to go against the data in this study as well as the data provided by people who also make references to their experience in the relevant industries - do you have any data and or experience to back this up or are these just your opinions of how it must work based on reasoning about the problem using nothing but logic to derive a conclusion?

Because I too would expect it works the way you say, but I would default to expertise of others who say no you are misinformed about how the situation is in our industry - discounting outliers like Taylor Swift.

> The elite will finally meet the long term consequences of their past and present decisions.
It will be a spectacle: the true test of how useful wealth is against the Universe, compared to other things like knowledge or wisdom.

This is casting categories of people in very rigid and binary terms. Wisdom and knowledge is not more prevalent amongst the non-elite is it? Isn’t it distributed more evenly?
Is it really “society” encourages activists to act like infants? I don’t know any private people in my life that approve of infantile behavior from adults, much less encourage it.

We used to have a popular term called “nanny state” that fits well in this discussion.

Nanny state, infant subjects
I dislike Go as a language for a variety of reasons, but nothing really objective.

I can agree with your sentiment that if performance is important from the outset, that writing everything in a language more performant by default is a smart move.

In a particular case for me, the project evolved organically, and I learned performance bottlenecks along the way. The actual functions I rewrote in C were fairly small.
I suspect the downvoting is because its perceived this is a dig at DEI hires rather than nepotism or non-qualified candidates.

So it is not based on language only.

We have a lot of progress under the form of STIR/SHAKEN. Now it doesn't prevent all types of spoofing but it makes the calls traceable back to the originating carrier.

What happens is scammers get numbers with small carriers who interconnect with major ones. Eventually the reputable carriers notice spam from these smaller carriers and start dropping their calls (or banning them altogether). So the smaller carriers decide whether they want to see their legitimate traffic dropped or just ban the offending users (which is eventually what ends up happening). Scammers end up hopping to a different carrier so it's a cat-and-mouse game, but it's a lot more expensive to play now than it was with simple number spoofing.

In parallel, numbers are starting to get reputations attached to them, similar to IP addresses. Some filtering takes advantage of that.

Of course, spearfishing can continue unimpeded with someone buying a prepaid cell phone and using that to call a specific target. :(

I was recently told that my family of six, weighing a total of around 500lbs, could not get on a flight to Hawai’i because of weight restrictions and we were the party chosen to get bumped. We had hotels that couldn’t be canceled because we were checking in later that night. That didn’t have to do with a massive IT outage, just crappy business practices.

There are already laws to make people while in these scenarios. Can they replace missed days playing at the beach with children? No, of course not. Will I eve choose to fly an airline that bumped four kids and two below average weight adults because the plane weighed to much. They certainly won’t be my first choice.

I also had a pending flight home on an airline that was hard down for part of the Friday of doom. My flight wasn’t that day, but were it Delta I probably would have been affected. They can’t fulfill their contract, so minimally I would need a refund, and optimally hotels and rebooked flights on another airline. The underlying reason isn’t important and I don’t need more regulation for an already overly regulated industry.

Airline flights, while reliable, are not guaranteed. It’s massively inconvenient when they fail. Plan accordingly.[0]

Thanks for posting this. As someone who picked up reading brain anatomy as casually as I might read technical documentation this put a few puzzle pieces together that I found quite satisfying. Good read, interesting topic. Pretty neat.
The "clear cut" of the law you cited is anything but. The definition of hatred, for example, is not only insufficient for a just law, but can be – and is – reasonably stretched to encompass anything the current regime doesn't like.
> Besides, can we even attract experienced developers to a non-glamorous industry like logistics?

I would certainly love the opportunity to do a greenfield data integration / crud application project in logistics. This is definitely the right thing for a passionate senior developer
Well if it was fun, someone would do it for free, and then I wouldn't get paid. I only work to live.
Well, I don't think the founders of that exchange complain about KDB that much.
After all KDB allowed them to go to market quickly and make billions and than they changed the tech stack when demand justified it. So what? KDB was never meant to run a large exchange, but you just demonstrated that it can run a smaller one.

> ... and without any Java optimizations really ...

Come on, be honest! All of the core tech needs to be implemented in highly optimized GC-free Java. And you need to hire senior Java consultants who are highly specialized and do that for 10+ years and they also cost millions.
I happen to know that BitMEX (located in Asia) has such consultants working from the EU. So, it's that easy to hire them!
MPX is dead, but memory protection keys are a distinct feature and work fine (with some limitations); I haven't seen anything about them being removed at all and Intel doesn't note them in their deprecated features list. AMD even added support for them in Zen3.
A lot of the time spam calls might look like they're a local number, but they're just manipulating caller ID. Often the actual call can originate anywhere on the planet and look like a local number to you.

Up until very recently, caller ID was stupid easy to spoof if the originating phone company didn't care.

What you are describing is the end of women playing sports. What is the point of competing in something you are guaranteed to lose?
Thoroughness is a good thing to talk about and champion.

The article mentions "quality" as something that people say gets sacrificed if/when unanticipated delays occur. That's great, but since nobody has a consistent (or even sensible) definition of quality, saying quality gets sacrificed is meaningless. At least this article doesn't get bogged down in "quality".
Same thing in Singapore, kids from grade 7 on take public transport to go to school (earlier grade students live close to the school usually). I think Japan is like that too.
That's what this article was saying hahaha, seems not possible
As a follow up just because I’m still thinking about it. I had a long discussion with a friend about this one time and he advocated for a tiered approach. So instead of having a men’s league you would have an A, B, and C league and people are placed based on performance. If we go just based on pure athletic ability then the A league would be mostly men and the C league would be mostly women, but there would be upward mobility and likely a mixed league in the middle.

This might be a good model for younger kids, but by the time kids reach high school the biological gap is too great. See https://boysvswomen.com/#/ This is a problem because high school is the time when college scholarships become a thing, performance in competitive high school sports matters. Also, you now need three leagues instead of two, which could get expensive depending on the sport.
The market changed recently. With ARM (and not sure how many others), it democratized chip design to an extent that companies could design their own requirements, simulate, add standard functionalities, and then find a third party fab which can manufacture that in bulk. The core value transferred from one company doing everything in a centralized manner to three distinct sections - chip design done by individual companies, fab + manufacturing on given designs (eg: SK Hynix, TSMC), and ARM which enables both these sections to function as they do. As with tech markets, once democratized, the overall pie increases massively. (This is a gross simplification and at conceptual level. Not this clear cut, but this is pretty much the value chain)

ARM allowed companies to focus on design, and not having to worry about manufacturing. Nvidia is mostly dependent on TSMC, but truth is they can move to SK Hynix and Samsung without a drop in quality. (Basically whoever has the capacity to build the chips at their nm level).

I laud the authorities for stopping Nvidia/ARM acquisition a couple of years ago. More than any other acquisition, this would have skewed things up massively.
Well, it's a matter of personal taste. I'd prefer actual "equality before the law" myself.
Thanks for the link to this awesome page!
Kinda funny to read scientists say testorone doesn't help in sports like these.

I reviewed an all comers track meet a few months ago. The overall woman 100m winner, in her 20s, would have barely beat the 70 year old guy--whose testosterone is probably close to double the woman.

All the younger men (e.g., 60s) with fewer miles and more testosterone left the woman in their dust
There are a few interesting points in here but it's really hard to get through when the author insists on saying "neotoddler" in ever other sentence.
Would you mind linking a study? It seems like that directly contradicts what Dawkins says in his article
> The Civil Rights movement succeeded because it was guided by leaders who had clear, specific, and realistic goals, and were able to negotiate to achieve them. Since neotoddlers “organize” mostly on social media [...]

The author somehow skips the part where Civil Rights activists were criticized for the exact same reason in their time (i.e. disrupting the daily life of people).

There are many points to make about methods of protest, but this is just not a good analysis piece.
The article asserts without evidence that this is a new phenomenon, as though there were no violent protests or riots ever, as though the civil rights movement consisted entirely of "negotiations" between, I guess, MLK Jr. and LBJ, sitting in a room and hashing out the issues debate-club style.

Pretty sure this is entirely ahistorical.
Key difference though, the corners Boeing cuts are to line the pockets of their execs and stockholders.

One thing to be pushing boundaries, doing something never done before, everyone knows there are significant risks. Another altogether to be doing a terrible job to save money doing something that has been done successfully time and time again.

Chub AI | REMOTE | Mid-level frontend engineer | Full-time or Contract | TypeScript

We are the largest generative AI gaming platform, entirely self-funded and profitable since August 2023.

Our frontend is React TypeScript, and the bulk of the backend APIs are Flask. We’re looking for someone with a relevant degree and/or a few years of experience, for exclusively or mostly frontend work. An eye for design and aesthetics is needed as we have none. Ever having worked with Ant Design, Capacitor, or react-three-fiber would be a big plus. Your most likely first project would be a better UI for our image and video generation API.

How to Apply:
Send however you prefer to represent yourself — a resume, a site, a GitHub, all or none of the above — along with salary expectations to hiring@chub.ai.
They have to or they may get in trouble due to our stupid laws. From the article: "Initially, Smith says, he was wary about going public with his research, as this kind of “hacking back” falls into a “gray area”: It may be breaking the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a sweeping US computer-crimes law, but he’s doing it against foreign-based criminals."
Fair point. I don't think it's a big deal if early-stage companies turn their subscriptions on and off over time. That said, later-stage startups and larger companies tend to have ongoing needs.

For simplicity, and because our model doesn't rely on it, we don't track hires. I'm not a fan of credit-based pricing, as it tends to create friction in usage.
I've been an early engineer in multiple start-ups, have co-founded 2 startups, and about a year ago, took a position where my primary role was to in-house logistics software in the healthcare space being developed by a 3rd party for about 4 years.

To succeed, you need a founder-type person IMO, who's full-stack, and has built great engineering teams. Hard to find, but possible.

The company I joined was also not a software/tech company, and they put the trust in me to define our engineering policies, how product-management happens, and put an emphasize of knowledge transfer for my first 3 months.

I had a similar thing happen with Link's Awakening, but I had the DX version for the GBC and I was probably 8-10 when I got it. I explored every nook and cranny of that game, but was stuck in the seventh dungeon because the only way to progress was to find a hidden, bombable section of wall. As far as I know there is no hint that it's there. I had already gone through the whole dungeon poking every square inch of wall with my sword listening for the hollow plink, but I missed this section.

I only got back to it on the multi-state drive at the end of summer to my second year of college, when I borrowed my parent's Blackberry to look up the answer on gamefaqs. Then I breezed through the eighth dungeon and beat the game after a decade of not playing it at all.
I agree with the salsa-sauce.

But why horno-oven? Horno is oven in Spanish and just in one video someone mistranslated horno to "earth oven".

All the people besides all those 1.5k that saw the video will use the "horno" as "oven".
A lot comes down to familiarity, to be fair. I’m not a SWE by trade, I’m an SRE / DBRE. I can read code in just about any language, but the only one I consider myself really good in is Python.

I could and should learn another (Rust seems very appealing, yes), but at the same time, I find joy in getting Python to be faster than people expect. C being leaned on is cheating a bit, of course, but even within pure Python, there are plenty of ways to gain speedups that aren’t often considered.

That’s the horrifying thing, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians so your enemy surrenders.
The reason you need explosives is that you want that release of energy to be as rapid as possible to make the contraption pass `bomb` object class duck typing.

If you kept criticality to a stable level and let energy of fuel release over e.g. 20 years, it's called a nuclear power plant. If you let it run away and let the material melt itself, it's called a meltdown situation. If you instead take highly purified fissile material and compressed it instantly into size of a peanut or however small you could, the material compressed experience nuclear chain reaction everywhere inside that peanut, and spontaneous release of that insane amount of energy resemble behaviors observed with conventional chemical explosive material exploding, and such a contraption that do this is somewhat metaphorically called an atomic "bomb".

In my case the Fear Of Missing Out is terrible.

If I lived in a village of a few hundred people I could be satisfied that my spouse was the best match I could possibly hope for, right? Say half the village is men, then a quarter is too young or too old, then there's just a handful who fall in my range of economic status and attractiveness, and I could be as happy as one could hope with any of them.

I live within reasonable driving distance of probably a literal thousand other people in my age range and of similar attractiveness to me. Whoever I stick with, someone else will be better in one way and worse in another. There might be a hundred dimensions on which to measure someone. Hence my current vacation from monogamy.

I think love, as in the feeling of limerence, obsession, desire to be with someone, desire to "get" something from somebody attractive, is easy to cultivate and always has been. I love someone who said she "falls in love with anyone who makes eye contact with her long enough". Ironically, her definition of love doesn't include texting me every month.

But love as in, doing hard marriage shit for decades until one of you outlives the other... I thought I felt that when I was first with my ex-spouse, now I believe I may be happier if I never feel that.
This wasn’t a safety issue. Not all transportation providers were down. Did it cause massive disruptions to transportation? Absolutely.

This was caused by over regulation in the first place. Adding more regulation only entrenches existing players making the market worse when things like this happen, not better. Those that chose monoculture should be punished in the market.
