That’s been true since the dawn of communication. It’s called picking your battles. You don’t badmouth a judge while he’s considering your sentence or insult a robber while they have you tied up with a gun pointed at a loved one.

You mean like Musk does.

How did so many people come to live in a desert? Was it not always a desert? What sustained these people to get to 46 million?

Unsure, but I also wonder why a secondary pump wasn't used to get even lower pressures, like a cryopump or turbo molecular pump.

Best guess on that might be cost.

I'd assume he was trying to do everything close to the atmospheric pressure even if its an intert gas's, because its less variables. And if a leak occurs you don't have a large pressure difference to help blow the hazardous elements everywhere.

> ...as I'm literally flooring every calculation.

But your calculations are for a different problem. You're not solving for "what is the best I can do for $100". You're solving for "what do I need to clone Google's infrastructure for thousands of hours of video footage".

Eg, you doubled the amount of storage space to avoid rebuilding RAIDs when a disk goes down. There is an obvious alternative - don't do that, let the RAID go down and rebuild it while eating the downtime. That sort of thing isn't a big deal for discount video hosting. Maybe even force people to keep their own backups.
> Exactly. It is perfectly legal for a private entity (such as Twitter) to engage in censorship, as they regularly do so. So, the argument that "we can't do that, because that would be illegal" doesn't really fly.

These are in no way equivalent. e.g. the first amendment only protects you from the government not from private organizations (if anything them deciding to publish or not to publish your content is an expression of freedom of speech and is right that the Supreme Court has confirmed). Obviously I'm not fully aware how exactly this works in Brazil but I doubt if it's fundamentally different.

> both Telegram and Meta have been previously (temporarily) banned from Brazil

That's still unreasonable.

Also you're still dodging the VPN ban order...

Anyway.. I understand that authoritarianism has a certain appeal to some people and actually might lead to some positive outcomes in some rare cases.
I've used it to write horrendously complex queries across multiple tables. It can do things I don't know how to and that would have taken significant time to learn. All I know is it works and it's performant when you tell it to be.

It's been particularly helpful for aggregations, subqueries etc. You may not think LLMs are there yet but my project is proof. Try it yourself.
> I suspect all the aid and help over the decades has really just prolonged things

Can you be more specific about the counterfactual? I’m assuming you’re not imagining that the country’s population would have just fallen to 0 absent aid, but I can’t figure out how you’re so sure things would have been better run
You could have raised the same points without being so dismissive and cynical. It is okay for people who think differently than you do to try their ideas in an open market.

OpenStreetMap generally follows the guideline that all tags and generic values (i.e., not names and other language dependant stuff) are written in British English. Exceptions exist due to the way this project works. The wiki is the primary place to go for documentation of tags and values.

So yes, surface=木 is wrong, but to replace it you would have to know if the path uses wood-chips (`woodchip`) or boards (`wood`).
Civil disobedience means breaking a law in order to argue in court that the law is bad, thereby deliberately putting yourself at risk of serious consequences.
This is not civil disobedience, because Elon Musk is not in Brazil, nor a citizen of Brazil, and is not personally at any risk.
That is interesting. That explains why the Beryllium vaporized... I'm surprised Nile didn't mention or consider that.

I think the simplest solution would be to lower the voltage, aim the arc at the Beryllium, and ensure it and the copper, nickel, and titanium melt together before ramping up the voltage to integrate the Zirconium.
Energy is the fastest(only?) growing part of Tesla? Megapack and solar are all made in US.
The real world actual usage of neural network software is increasing. People are finding uses for it. They are replacing or augmenting search and lookup. Translation, proof reading, and copy writing is actually useful. AI assisted coding is exploding and people are paying for it. People are using it for design and product prototyping. They are amazing at data analysis, which is very useful for enterprise and finance (lots of money here). It's used for medicine research and drug discovery. It's used for legal document analysis. So much actual real world value here. So much gdp impact possible.

Most cryptocurrencies are just straight up scams. Some people are getting some usage of Bitcoin as a store of value and for cross border transactions. This is increasing slowly. Stablecoins also have some usage for store of value and cross border transaction. They are also used for trading and arbitrage, which you can argue about whether that brings value to the world. The rest of the crypto market is struggling to find an enduring use cage. I'm saying this as someone who is marveling about Ethereum and Solana, but I don't value trading immaterial NFTs. Ethereum and the like are struggling to do anything that reaches into the real world. None of the cryptocurrencies outside the top 10 have found any real world use case that people care about.

So AI != crypto
I am very sad to watch this situation.

I spent 3 weeks driving my 4x4 through Sudan in early 2019 [1], just a month before they finally got rid of Al-Bashir, and it was incredible.

The people of Sudan were some of the kindest and friendliest I have ever encountered on the planet. When I asked for directions to buy bread and it turned out to be complicated, the following morning locals brought a bag of fresh-baked bread to my campsite and refused to let me pay for it no matter how much I insisted.
Their currency was already falling so fast I was getting a better rate for USD cash every day.

Gas at the time was $0.35USD / gallon - though the lineups were days long. The locals never let me wait in line and insisted I skip it every time.

Later in the North I met a very kind man who invited me for delicious coffee every day just to sit and talk. He again refused to let me pay for it and was clearly very proud of his country and people. On the second and third day I brought pastries to share. He said for decades it would have been unthinkable to talk out loud about getting rid of Al-Bashir, but during my visit it was starting to almost be acceptable. He did warn me to keep my voice down and leave my big camera in my 4x4 - people were edgy.

Sudan is on the list of 5 "evil" countries, just because I visited for three weeks I can never again get an ESTA (visa waiver) to enter the USA. It makes crossing the border much harder, especially when I live in Canada (not yet a Canadian citizen).

There have been internal conflicts, but nothing at the scale of the 2023 Civil War.

> I suspect all the aid and help over the decades has really just prolonged things

It's being fueled by the proxy war between Iran, UAE, KSA, Egypt, and Ethiopia.

It excels when you're iterating on an MVP. Once a business is proven and you have the money to go back and put in the the gold-plated solutions, sure, write your own. But while you're building the MVP it's amazing. No need to faff with building a separate admin, even if it is just CRUD.

It means you can focus on your business logic while buying time to get you through the initial development.

avrlibc's small variant of printf (which still has a ton of features) is like 600 bytes.
Yeah, it's always stunning to read that things you've been successfully daily driving for many years to much greater satisfaction than if you were using the alternatives are "completely unusable".
Shameless plug: printf(Hello, World!\n"); is possible with an executable size of 1008 bytes, including libc with output buffering: https://github.com/pts/minilibc686

Please note that a direct comparison would be apples-to-oranges though.
The difference is it's in public. Google et al wants to get into your private life. Nobody is talking about watching you race cars on a private track.
I've heard that too and it's strictly not true for me. I regularly try it but it's wrong more than half the time.

Again, some of this may just come down to experience: by the time I'm turning to ChatGPT or Google it's because I'm in deep water and the docs have failed me. A search engine can turn up the one obscure github issue where someone had the same problem and someone else hints in a direction that ends up having the solution, but that won't have been encoded in the weights with enough strength to be spat out by ChatGPT.
Epistemic status: an explainer and some thoughts
I didn’t write the comment you replied to but often what happens is that politicians in Wealthy Country send aid to Poor Country so they can say they did something. The aid often props up the Baddies in Poor Country and doesn’t reach the people who need it most.

The Dictator’s Handbook covers this topic I think.
Realistically, my advice is. Document as little as possible. Build processes into your tools so it can be tested and repeated. Documentation that can get outdated, will be outdated and even worse be wrong. And, for example APIs can be organized in a way that documentation can be automated, so its never wrong or outdated, by choosing to use API contract first, like Protobuf or implementing via OpenAPI specifications. If you are implementing a specification of some kind, keep a copy of the specification version you have implemented checked in with the code.

Other things I have seen is f.ex. code that implements a business process, also can output itself as a Graphviz drawing, describing the parts of its own structure.
It sound alike you already know the answer to your question.

If you ask me, though, I don't see why it's not possible for grave suffering to exist in multiple places simultaneously.

'Lynx': The open-source bullshit detector for LLMs
But that's not the issue: the issue is that Musk alienated almost the entire core demographic who wanted to buy Tesla's, wanted to support electric cars and were more or less completely primed to freely promote the entire brand.

He is a man who owns an electric car company but has been pushing climate change denialism as his political position and supporting politicians who do.

There's competition because Tesla is not the dominant prime mover it's valuation implies it should be, and people have sensed - correctly - a market opening. No one I know recommends "buy a Tesla" anymore for your first electric car - they say buy a Hydundai Ioniq or wait for a Chinese brand to get cheaper.

People are actively embarrassed to drive Teslas, which in turn means there's a growing market for "anything but a Tesla...". And because of that all of the actual faults of a Tesla are paid that much more scrutiny.
On gaining independence in 1956 Sudan endured two civil wars with up to a million deaths in the first civil war and between one and two million deaths in the second civil war.

Colonial governments like the British often (almost always) left a mess behind them.
My Chinese mother-in-law just travelled back after spending 2,5 months with us in Europe.

Of course there's a bit of tension living with another grown-up who has different rules.

But it was transformative, my wife cried when she went back, and we both miss her.

She'll be back in 3 months for another 3 months.

Of course she will live with us when her health begins to fail. (It will be another 25-30 years.)

And yes, there are different problems. But to discommunicate your parents is not an Asian thing.
I'm adressing the original comment (by movedx) of giving channels on YouTube the ability to disable ads and let the channel provider/creator eat the cost instead.

Thorough auditing can still happen on the target host. If every single one of your hosts is properly configured to produce audit logs, maybe you can get away without auditing or even session recording on the SSH bastion host.
I think the most important thing a founder brings is to "not give up". The journey of most startups that innovate is complicated, unknown and unusual. Traditional management is not made for this. I have always felt that "pivot" comes from "founder mode" itself. It is one way of keep trying, even when a founder accepts that the original idea is not working well. Many founders have attempted and failed multiple times to finally get to something that works. This value is less visible in any other domain of management.

Theft is illegally taking something. Taxes are part of the legal system. Literally not theft.

Ethically is it right to increase the risk to accumulate wealth? That depends on what you buy with that risk. It’s well-established that people will take risks for fun, and they’ll take significantly more risk when security for themselves and their family is on the line.

Folks with hundreds of millions or billions in assets or millions in income have vastly higher levels of security compared to folks with $100 in the bank and a $15/hr job with no benefits.

So, how much is it ethical to take from the rich to ensure that the poor have decent odds to improve their situation and have a basic level of security? In America, it’s been as much as 60% in income taxes for the highly-paid. A wealth tax of 40% upon death still exists, even if the rich have found a way around that. It sounds like America has already established that 40% taxed to the benefit of all is ethically okay.

So we should probably be killing the buy, borrow, die strategy of tax avoidance, especially on transfer taxes should be collected. But could we take more from the wealthiest and have that be ethically okay?

Let’s say we have someone with $300M in assets and those appreciate 8% annually on average. Those assets will be worth $600M in 10 years. Assuming a spend of $10M per year, they’d still be worth $400M by the end of 10 years. So we’ve had at least $100M generated compared to where we started just for existing and living a lavish life. But we could have taxed that $100M at 40% and put 40M into public services, infrastructure, or entrepreneurial grants to provide tens of thousands of people with more security without materially affecting our asset-owning individual. Even just distributing $40M to supplement incomes for low-security folks would translate to 2500+ people getting a chance to improve their situations.

So, is it ethical to tax the excess asset appreciation that the individual didn’t use for anything? It’s not that it didn’t grow, it’s that it grew a little less fast. And we were able to impact thousands based on that. I’d argue yes, and I struggle to understand how “make life no different for the individual vs make life better for thousands of people” comes down on the side of the individual. It’s not until taxes grow higher than appreciation that I start to think it might be unethical.

But as you approach taxes equaling appreciation, I can see how it could be counterproductive. I think that’s not the argument though. It wouldn’t be terribly difficult to tax assets based on appreciation above their highest appraisal, with appraisal triggering taxes being owed. Certainly no more complicated than our current taxes assets and the loopholes that lead to buy, borrow, die.
From what I can recall from watching most of his videos over the years, he doesn't have any fancier vacuum pumps, so it would indeed be a piece of new equipment he would have to buy.

He cycled the argon five times, which is probably plenty without the need for new equipment. He also melted titanium to ensure that any remaining reactive gases were destroyed even after five cycles of argon.
Staying in the details is different from micromanagement. It’s the difference between understanding (and deeply caring) about what’s happening vs. telling ICs how to solve a problem. You can’t be a good leader, mentor, or decision maker if you’re not invested in the details.
I think such statements only help promoters of hate against jews.

The vast majority of people - even a significant chunk of the Arab population, in general - don't blame jews for bad things or even hate jews.

There are geo pockets of hate, yes, and small groups that have a disproportionate media power to promote hate narratives.

Let's not echo their thoughts.
I can tell you why:

My capacity to give damns is finite.

If you happen to be some saint who has infinite capacity for empathy, good for you. I think most people share my sentiment, though.
> They just want to permanently make life of people in Gaza - at least for a generation - a living hell to teach them a lesson to never try Oct. 7 again.

Nothing fair about that. Most of the people suffering had nothing to do with the events they're being punished for.
After two unsuccessful but still alive start-ups, I've come to very similar conclusions. Absolutely every single time I've tried to say to it anyone other than a founder I was met with disbelief that eventually turned into accusations of not knowing how to be a leader.

While I do admit that I didn't fire people as quickly as I should have, most of our structural problems came from employees simply doing what was best for them and bad for the company, and most of them not even realizing or caring to think about the long-term consequences of their actions. My main lesson was that almost nothing can be delegated except to other founders or some exceptionally rare adults. Success in scaling seems to be actually more in making sure the things you do are simple enough that employees can't mess them up.

From founder reactions I've had when telling this, I think a lot more people have come to internalize similar beliefs, but none will publicly say them since they don't want to risk PR backlash.
On that note, reading about Bangladesh's split from Pakistan was gut wrenching.

Bring back colonization for limited amount of time ie 50years. During that time establish government, educational, civil structures and start the economy. Re-educate the society, instill the values of high-trust society. Pull out of the country gradually replacing foreigners with local population. The name 'colonization' might evoke some sentiments, but we can call this some other name.
The line of thinking we’re trying to get across to you here is best put like this I find; even if 99% of the village thinks it’s a good idea to march into the most productive individual’s house and rob it clean, it doesn’t become morally right to do so.
The Nile. basically everyone lives within walking distance of the river, and it very clearly brings life.

When I was there it was incredible to see all the (basic) farming and houses and people living in the river valley, and less than 5km away have nothing but blowing sand for hundreds and hundreds of miles.
That was before the country got its own constitution and had formed its national identity.
Perhaps they can, but there’s 0 evidence for it. Regardless my point was that they have had tremendous suffering since being decolonized. Endless conflict with external meddling from all over. I suspect that had they been under colonial rule since then they’d have significantly less suffering and stable. But what can you do because that ship sailed.
Lately I've been thinking more about how to get better POI (like business) data into OSM. Apps like everydoor work okay but I feel it's still annoying to type it in and get the tags right.

I think it could be a really good use of AI to let me, for example, snap a photo of the menu and then have it automatically generate the OSM tags. Then someone just has to review if it all is appropriate.

Just bring able to walk down the street, snap a bunch of menu or sign pics, then go home and drop pins and confirm tags from photos would be great.

Heck it could even scrape their website to verify the information too!

Does anyone know if there is a project like this? Or have any thoughts on if this is a reasonable approach? I think as long as there's a human in the loop checking things it should be fine by OSM.
