> Does the US invest in manufacturing like this anymore?

It might be easy to argue over the exact degree of similiarity, but I'd argue that the US has repeatedly made manufacturing investments since the 1950s. Buried in bills signed into law, you'll find such investments.

Recent examples include the Recovery Act of 2009 or the American CHIPS act of 2022.

The problem is that for some people, it's not just "make better choices" - there's various research that shows once you made those poor choices, or had them made for you when younger, some of the marks that leaves on your brain's expectations last. Various people have remarked on how they've tried avoiding large classes of food that might be "unhealthy" and exercised intensely, and nothing changed for them without this.

To say nothing of, as the other poster said, how much time+money it can be to avoid, particularly when you've not got much spare income, so the difference might mean not having to skip a meal this week to afford your medication, even if it might be lead-filled or the equivalent that'll harm you over time (and not just directly, in money saved - making your own rounded meals costs a bunch of time, and sometimes upfront costs, and if you're that low on resources, you might not have that time to spare.)

I would agree the correct way to mitigate this is to do things like ban HFCS, among other things, and start aggressively researching the harms of anything remotely sweetener or addictive behavior-forming in foods, because if you remove the thing that triggers an excessive "MORE" response in some people, you better believe you're starting whack-a-mole with food companies finding other addictives that secretly cause your toes to fall off in 20 years but taste 5000x as sweet, or something.

I think both are fits- we've gotten interest from both types of companies and our first customer is a "OSS model host".

Our 40% savings result is also specifically for the 5 model services case, so there could be non-trivial cost reduction even with a reasonably small number of models.

The new company was in California, where there are stricter non-compete laws, and had been poaching people from the old company. They were at the point, I think, where they both wanted to get federal precedent on non-competes to settle matters. This is what one of the lawyers in Texas told us (we had lawyers in three different states working on "our" team), when he suggested we might not want to play defendant in that game.
Yeah, agreed some of the things people point to with regards to the oracle problem are hysteria or not relevant but it is a very real problem. It also leads to lots of confusion (or grifting) when people don't acknowledge it and act like you can have "trustless weather reports" or things like that. Many oracle problems won't arise until the stakes are high enough
Doing a good code review is hard. You cannot do it in one pass, but of course projects are always late so there is pressure to approve. If you want code reviews to be good you need a policy that the reviewers need to approve it 3 days in a row without changes, but of course management wants to ship it and get on with the next feature.

It is easy to find nits. Most people will notice a spelling error out of the corner of their eye and zoom in on it. (I'm a terrible speller and I do this all the time). It is much harder to notice that the code is wrong and has bugs. I've passed many code reviews with a few nits to fix and push, only the next day did I realize there were serious problems with the code.
That makes sense, if I don't rip open a bag on the first try it'll just stretch and never open

I'll be the devil's advocate. Zero interest rates means it's easier for startups to raise money. High interest rates locks in the status quo - because of their massive war chests big companies don't struggle because of high interests, but small companies do.

For individuals in the middle class and lower, high interest rates (and the associated inflation) directly lower the quality of life by eroding their purchasing power.
Hilarious. Maybe easier than it seems at first: ask it to do it wrong for fun, i bet it would work
> Oceanic Heat Content (OHC) is the measure of the integrated vertical temperature from the sea surface to the depth of the 26°C isotherm and computed from the altimeter-derived isotherm depths in the upper ocean relative to 20°C.

They calculate based upon the depth of a specific temperature rather then temperature at a specific depth.

The government in question can easily pass a law making it illegal for traditional financial institutions to interact with crypto. In this scenario, most users will simply stop using it to follow the law. For the die hards fans they will still reduce the use of the currency. They need to pay for taxes in the national currency and thus need income in the national currency. You still owe taxes on illegal income. Businesses need to pay payroll, vendors, and all taxes in the national currency. All of this means that individuals and businesses need national currency backed transactions to get the national currency to pay the taxes.

I agree that if you made "using btc" illegal then you and I could still send each other BTC. But I believe that you would rapidly see the use of crypto die out if governments cut it off from trad-fi, which they could do trivially easily.
In this case it seems ocean heat content is a depth integrated measure (see page 11 of this document I found by following links in the above article https://upper-ocean-dynamics.earth.miami.edu/_assets/pdf/atb...). Seems like that OHC measure uses some reanalysis model but surface temperatures can be measured by satellite, and temperatures below can be measured from moorings in the Gulf (https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/obs.shtml) and argo floats currently in the region (https://argo.ucsd.edu/about/status/). I would expect them to all show similar trends.
yeah, even the very own devs HATE the defaults someone (who?) decided for android.

first there was a non documented setting to remove the blacklist for extensions... when they blocked access to about:config then everyone started using firefox dev... now they removed the block from nightly (i guess using real bleeding edge dev annoyed them)...

anyway, this only proves me point even harder.

> projects are always late

This is the root of all evil. The artificially created deadlines that make something that can be resolved next week "urgently today" just to increase your adrenaline levels so you work 30 mins more today is what causes a lot of software to end up being a piece of shit.

Software is about deep thinking, and comprehensive understanding. Yes, it's all about trade offs, but there is a point where things can't be any faster.
It feels like a hostage situation. Had you started to charge money for that app, the most demanding and unreasonable cohort of users would have become apoplectic and invested time into trashing you and the app. It's almost like that in order to start charging in that situation, you need to retire the app under that name and rebrand as a different, fee-based product.
Every now and then I can provide good feedback when I pull down the branch in question, test it locally, and try to think of a way to break it. Rarely do I have that kind of time.
This feels akin to, "Global warming probably isn't real because today is colder than usual".

I believe there's a cause effect scenario here.
Sure, I'd expect it looks different for everyone. I would propose that a common thread should likely include a lack of, or at least control over, fear of the unknown.
Yeah, noted. It's crazy that the working part is the easiest (for me at least). I usually have to remind myself that I have to make money while building things, and to make money I have to be better at not just building, but also marketing and talking to customers and iterating.

But then I really understand that building things make you better at building useful things that people would want to pay for. Thanks!

What is this claim based on?
In Pragmatic Programmer, this is called the "tracer bullet" approach. Basically just another word for end-to-end, but with the emphasis that by completing a slice end-to-end you'll get feedback much faster (as in the feedback tracer bullets provide when shooting a target).
You're right, and I was being imprecise. All closure and "function item" types are unnameable; only function pointer types can be named, for example `fn(int) -> int`[1].

the extension already incorporates a interface to select/finetune/update the rules.

for the past decade updates to the extension itself have been UI only.
I believe the anecdotes I've seen were about people on this drug finding that they thought about formerly favorite unhealthy foods and viscerally recoiled at the idea of eating them.

My speculation is that it's a gut biota change driving the change in cravings, but I'm not sure there's much research on the mechanisms involved yet, since these drugs are very new, comparatively. A very small study apparently suggested it ameliorated some of the numbness to intense flavors that the obese have been shown to have in previous studies, so maybe I'm completely off base.
Your own personal experience is not a "source" for what is easy, hard, possible or impossible for other people.
I highly doubt that the source of cyclists being killed is to any significant fraction from them running red lights. Feel free to provide a factual basis for the claim.
From the sound of it, the politeness is the shallow politeness that you can easily get with ChatGPT. The curtness is defending from the users expecting too much, which can include delaying handling issues before properly checking if they're real. I experienced this with Vercel and it probably makes economic sense for them. (BTW I really should cancel my Vercel account but haven't decided to take the time to migrate yet.) https://x.com/search?q=vercel%20benjaminatkin_&src=typed_que...

The reason it can be framed as curtness is because they're being curt about the expectations, and the real expectations are pretty low. "Sure, I can delay really addressing the issue for a couple weeks. You're only paying me 40 bucks a month, why would you expect more? The goal of responding within two days is just for a canned response." See, they were curt and didn't let me demand something more than I deserved, like being able to use the product I'm paying for in the next several days!
It's a fair perspective, but I'd counter by bringing up the opportunity cost we spent on the incredible amount of trash startups that ZIRP produced. Those Juicero & crypto & NFT people could've been doing something productive with their lives instead of whatever that mess was. Was Kafka worth that cost? I dunno. But seeing the obvious waste and the clowns who profited from it made me, personally, really depressed at the state of our industry. A system that so blatantly does not distribute rewards for real, valuable work really discourages one from bothering to even try putting in the work.
In terms of raw output, the answer is likely no.

However, this might not matter as much now as it did in the past due to nuclear weapons being the primary deterrent in war these days, and the fact that our standing fleet of aircraft, aircraft carriers, nuke subs, tanks, etc... is essentially second to none. Additionally what we do have is highly capable and extremely specialized, in my opinion, leading to not really needing as many (quality over quantity). Take for example, an F35, which doesn't really have an equal in the skies, we have over 630 of them, with the goal of having around 2500. China only has 300 J-20s which are basically a copy of the older F22. Russia only has 22 non-test Su-57s. Would we have a realistic need to build 1000 of them within a year?

Due to many factors, but primarily free trade and globalization, it's unlikely that we ever see that non-automated manufacturing capacity return, though if needed we could probably mobilize the economy via the defense act to force more manufacturing capacity, though it's hard to imagine we would currently need to.

Okay, I actually intend to make a mobile app that syncs with Notion, so users can edit or make any changes on other devices. What do you think?
if you make it illegal to convert btc to cash (which a government can do trivially), my contention is that this will kill crypto. Most people simply don't want to break the law. Much of the liquidity in the system dries up. Yes you can break the law if you want, but that just goes to show that crypto's number one real world use case is to skirt regulations.

Google changed their terminal level to L4, which is a level where you can be do designs with guidance, and implement big chunks of projects on your own. The previous terminal level was L5 ("senior"), where you're expected to own multi-quarter long projects and be a tech-lead of ~5-10 people. Oddly it does end up being structured as a pyramid - lots of L3/L4 folks than L5 folks.
When I was an - intern 30 years ago - the senior developer working with me had to decide if my code was worth a "formal review" or if just putting it in code review was enough. We went to code review, but as part of this I did hear about a process where code reviews are useful that apparently the company did use for important/difficult code.

In a formal review you print off the code, then put 5-10 other developers in a meeting room to look at it together (no computers in this room, though sometimes you would go back and print off some more code for context). You could do about 10 lines of code per hour this way, and the developers burned our after at most 2 hours per day, so this takes a very long time. However reports were this resulted in the most useful reviews/fixes to the code.

I've never seen the above done in practice, just heard about it. Someday I'd like to see it, but I doubt I ever will.
I'm sure they have such conspirancid paranoia in north korea right now. They are expressions of unvented frustration in unreformable systems.

because that was the original promise with extensions! contribute without the red tape, and if enough people like it, we will incorporate.

heck dev tools started as someone cloning IE dev tool as an extension... there were two... the IE clone and a dalvik debugger... mozilla had no problem picking the winer and incorporating in the official build.

stop normalizing this! they officially denie this arrangement exist! so they cannot use it as an excuse.

The relevant section of the U.S. Code is 12 U.S.C. § 225a, which states:

"The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Open Market Committee shall maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy’s long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates."

The reason rates are staying high is because of the expectations game. The US had unfathomable price stability for decades. The fed realizes that the inflation genie is out of the bottle. The only way to get it back in is to overcompensate by raising rates and leaving them high until people forget about 10% inflation.
I'm trying to get upset about a tool that lets you photoshop a smoking trash can onto a sidewalk, and it's just not happening.

By no Ivy-league i mean we have only attended local varsities.
I have a very different experience with my 22 Golf GTI. When I'm on the highway I use ACC with max following distance and lanekeep enabled. I know what all of the safety systems feel like and I never encounter them if I have the blinker on before I enter the ACC's zone and the 'car in front of you' indicator turns opaque.

I also like that if I am following someone slow with ACC it starts to accelerate the very second that I turn on the blinker so I can start passing. My old car would make you wait until it could read that the lane was clear.

The only system that I objectively dont like is the 'travel assist' (lane centering) because I do not like the lane position that it prefers.
