Are you insane? China can only achieve that by forcibly conquering Taiwan, with minimum hundreds of thousands of casualties.

China can't win a peaceful competition against the US in the long run, because China is undergoing total demographic collapse (Marriage/birth rates declining 10% yoy every year).

China's plan is to sprint for the last stretch, while its population can still work.

As for the US, it is really held together by the massive wealth from its tech and financial dominance. Given the enormous social fractures today (please don't forget that Trump was nearly assassinated 1 month ago), an structural economic collapse will mean civil war.

> Google was loosing on many fronts

i believe this trend is a result of management culture and performance metrics that attempt to measure "impact", and correlate pay and promotions along those measures.

It's the same reason why google products die when they don't reach mega-success (thus products getting killed off in spades recently).

Nobody wants to be doing maintenance on projects started by somebody else - so as soon as the lead visionary leaves for better pastures, that project gets languished, and whoever takes over it cannot use it to generate promotion worthy impact.
> The forceful intervention of the US in foreign countries whenever they tried to be even slightly leftist is well documented.

This is nonsense, there are plenty of very leftist countries that USA didn't attack, so that provably wasn't the reason.

Communism is first and foremost anti democratic and authoritarian in these countries, that is the main issue. If you take Sweden that was very close to going towards worker owned economy in the 80's USA didn't do anything to them, same with rest of Europe. Sweden since then became much more right wing and moved away from those ideas, but at the time it looked very likely.

Yuk.

It is a trap to condem the foundation because of some people who are nasty outside the foundation

We have a problem in tech with naive fascists and fascist enablers. We must deal with it, but condemning the person, not the behavior, is not the way

Yeah - I imagine that’s true for a ton of sports, but especially for any combat sport. I mean, even in shooting pistol (I shot sport pistol in college), breathing is the main thing you can control, and the main thing that will screw you.
This is all very true for a small startup and some kinds of skunk works projects.. Many companies Google's size don't allow you to work that way in general, and in some sense don't benefit from it because gaps caused by no need to write things down are too hard to fix later and more critical to them than not shipping at all.

If I had to guess, Google's problem is probably that they created ephemeral written text as the primary solution for communication. It is neither good for speed nor good for documentation as a consequence.
Yeah, but compared to few years ago things have changed for better, i see a lot of communities dedicated to privacy nowadays, a lot of more resources and content is out there now.

And what if the leadership/culture just responds 'screw you do it anyway, you're really elite right? You can do anything right?'. So the employees in the trench just goes on a death march because hey, passion and whatever.

And then at the postmortem leadership just plays the blame game for the broken product. Which is fine if you don't care about politicking, but now someone upside is convinced you suck and the layoffs come for you. In the author's case there seems to be even some sort of reputational harm. THIS is how the worker gets incredibly jaded.
> still not sure what consonant, continuous, or misleading chords are. I only know what dissonance sounds like

Consonance is the opposite of dissonance; so while a dissonant chord sounds jarring and unpleasant with beating, a consonant chord sounds harmonious, pleasant, smooth.

I'm not sure about the other two either, I don't think they're commonly used terms.

Maybe continuous refers to "continuo" in Baroque music, where the bassline and chords are separate but work together harmonically - in some tunings, perhaps this is harder.

I think misleading refers to chords where their function harmonically is ambiguous until they resolve "home" at a later time - for example, not using the root note of a chord, instead using an inversion or modulation that feels like the chords could lead in several directions, creating a kind of uncertainty and tension in the piece that feels satisfying to resolve when the later chord indicates which of the paths through the harmony were the "correct" one.

Totally fair, all of it. Thanks for the explanation. When you put it as simply as “it’s about who can lift more weight,” my question looks dumb in retrospect, of course.

It would be just as easy for someone to incredulously ask me why I love BJJ, despite being hypermobile and having a much higher chance of injury as a result.

> In order for the LLM or agent to do what you want, you'd need to be able to precisely specify what you want

That's definitely not the definition of an elite.
To nitpick a single point:

> A future where Chinese companies own the EV market in the US with all of the American user data going back to servers in China- that's just not a future the US govt. wants

I agree, but why do cars need to send data to servers again? I don't grok why Tesla does it and I don't grok why BYD does it either. What's wrong with the alternative where we allow real competition that benefits everyone, and then ban any features (eg sending data to servers) that the government gets nervous about? I don't see how this is any different from the myriad of other requirements on cars (eg mandated safety belts etc etc etc).

I recognize that state-subsidised competition still isn't fair, so I support import tariffs that match those subsidies, but any further and you're just hurting competition and the consumer, right?

Thing is, super cheap EVs and solar panels is exactly what we should want. There's a climate crisis going on and these things are a big part of the solution. With climate goggles on, to put import tariffs on the tech that's gonna save the world sound batshit insane. We should want those tariffs to be as low as possible.

Food photography is a great genre to build these muscles. Photographing food incorrectly makes it look unappetising and alienating, so there’s a dramatic reward-gradient for framing correctly and understanding light. A small number of techniques go a long way. Successfully deploy those can be an encouraging precedent for tackling other genres of photography.
Oh, of course - if you have no other options you go with what you have.

But if you have other options, I think too many people are also stuck in “I know what I know and I know it will work” and will happily kludge along while something else is sitting right next to them, better for the job.

I do believe that people from the USA are extremely more likely to view war as profitable and not a huge money sinc.
And I have to wonder is there a connection to WW2, where USA exported about $32.5 billion worth of goods through Lend-Lease, indebting a number of nations in the process, while having almost zero repair damage (yes, Perl Harbor, of course a tragedy, but it was a small town, and Europe had cities that were bombed for years, and that had to be rebuild almost from scratch)

The process of repairing Europe costed a lot. Not to mention paying back the land-lease!

So yeah huge money sink for everyone who are on a continent the war is on. And profitable for leasers because everyone actively at war is kinda forced to take the deal.

China has no reason to take over Taiwan militarily. They already have like 60% of trade with it, and that share is only going to grow in the future, simply because they are so close. It's the US who is worried to be cut off Taiwan.

Anyway, China dominating chip and AI will likely happen soon. They don't really need Taiwan for that.

This isn’t an argument against iterating. It’s about iterating with intent, rather than iterating just for the sake of iterating.

Taking notes, making educated guesses and hypotheses, planning experiments that are adjusted based on what you learned in the prior ones, etc.? All examples of “slow and smooth.”
Not really. When I lived and worked in Silicon Valley in the early 2010s, we used to joke that Yahoo! is where you go to retire.

I think Google is starting to become that. It's just the nature of older very large corporations, I suppose. There are places to hide in these companies for non-productive workers.
But when those “casualties” are drones perhaps it turns out to be true?

You have to know the public key of the destination. Then it's supposed to route automatically.
Unless you know someone else using this, there's no one to talk to.
Try setting up two nodes, and get them talking to each other.

Someone could set up a directory server with a well known destination address, and then there would be a way to find destinations that will talk to you. Not finding anything like that yet.
This seems to be intended for private comms within a group, such as your militia or drug cartel. They went so far in the privacy direction that there's nobody to talk to.

Choosing and managing people well is maximizing your chance for success. Good teams with good communication internally and externally ensure a good culture. Good management does everything it can to create and actively maintain that culture.

When you encounter an internal failure you can be certain it was because management failed in creating or actively maintaining that culture.
Yeah, but this scenario assumes you want the toddler to live.
Having one set of developers write the code and another set of developers write tests from the same specification without reading the code is probably the most effective ways to use tests for high software quality and is typically required by certification bodies e.g. for avionics.
> "An healthier way to respond would have been "Sure, but because of X and Y difficulties please consider the time to finish development will be increased by Z""

In practice this never goes as smoothly as you think.

It's a constant antagonistic battle between management and the people on the ground doing the work. Let's face it, the devs also want to have a chill time and develop at their own pace (because it allows them to not stress, slack off, but also because they can focus on quality and the art of it, etc). Management knows about this, they just suffer from a lack of ability to tell the difference between which one the dev is doing when when he asks for "more time".

Either way, you need engineering leadership that has clear goals and priorities. Having management with non-technical people that don't trust the technical people, along with conflicting and opposing constraints, will give you Boeing and this game disaster.

We need to bring back meritocracy.

You are assuming the business is entirely located in one city or at least region which is rarely the case beyond a certain size. It would also be an argument against function specific offices or locations (eg a NYC sales office) which has been a characteristic of companies for a very long time.
> almost no individual at Google has the fire or drive in them to play to win

No one with such a drive would stay in, or even go to Google, neither any GAFAM-like corp. Those have been the establishment for 10+ years now.

A large corporation cannot seriously pretend to encourage their employees to "play to win" when it is structuring itself against that precisely.

The bigger the corp, the slower, duller and more rigid it becomes _unless_ someone at the CxO level actively fights against it in a opinionated manner (which still doesn't often register well with boards and major shareholders).

It may be sad, it's quasi a law of physics for corporations. If you have that kind of fire in you, go first hunt into to the woods, don't go to the factories.

> That is largely due to Chinese chemical manufacturers who are selling the chemicals to Mexico and then those drugs are smuggled into the US.

i say china is not at all responsible for the drug, except as a contract manufacturer. If china doesn't do it, somebody else would've. China just does it cheaply.

The drug problems come from the cartels, and from the fact that US's war on drugs makes drugs expensive, and thus profitable. There's no possibility of humans relinquishing drug use - think about the prohibition and the problems that it caused.

I say, just allow drugs to be manufactured, and sold (under license and regulation) in the US. It's gonna be like alcohol. This will take away the profits from the cartels, and they will stop buying from china. It will increase tax revenue, as drug consumption can be taxed (like tobacco today is).

It will also remove the stigma, and reduce drug enforcement costs in police. The only thing society has to give up is the moral high horse of drug use.
I don't think you need to ask to ask.
Because you don't need "news".

What do you need "news" for? To do what with it exactly?

Are any of the "news" items actionable in any sort of benefitial way to you?

What's the signal to noise ratio?

The answer of course is no, none of it is actionable, and almost all of it is garbage and noise.

This would be mostly true even for highly accurate news and high quality reporting.

And if the information was valuable, it wouldn't be called "news" to begin with.

Some gyms have these “enforcers” and are into this sort of thing. I hate that so much.

Not everyone needs humbling. And I think that’s the point that people here are missing.

If someone walks in and is calm, respects the fact that the trained person has something they don’t, and so on… even as a skeptic they’ll be relatively fine, and won’t get “wrecked” in most places, at least not on purpose.

It’s the guys that walk in thinking they’re about to roll over everybody with their big muscles that get rocked. But they usually end up being great people; just that finding out how much you don’t know is extremely humbling, extremely fast.

And I respect that a lot of people don’t believe it. I honestly didn’t myself. I get that; I’m not trying to convince you.
Unsure Meta now, but FB was indeed absurdly leetcodish 10 years back.
personal opinion: the world feels orchestrated, the only thing the news are good for right now is the latest jumpscare/world ending scare, then buy the stock that's probably gonna go up. And I can get that info from the memes.

Preferably watch what the WHO is saying about the issue next time, then sell if they call it off

I love mermaid because it’s so easily source-controlled. It also has pretty solid documentation.

Don’t love that each diagram type typically has significantly different syntax.

Also don’t love (as mentioned by another commenter) the lack of control over layout—yea there are some advanced options for this but I find them obscure and difficult to configure.

I did create an internal tool that scans my Firestore data model and outputs an ER Diagram in mermaid. Works really nicely for that.
