As a non US citizen, I think there are a lot of high level cultural issues that would prevent me considering a job in the US, well before I pulled out a calculator and starting comparing salary to cost of living.

I won't enumerate them because it would be sure to offend somebody (everybody?).
This is premature optimisation. The bus bandwidth and latency needed to get a few Mbps of compressed video to the PC is microscopic. It's completely unnecessary to lock yourself into NVIDIA just to create some UDP packets.
SWE-Bench Technical Report
On road I don't see the point, any decent derailleur works well in all conditions you regularly experience. Generally rides (consciously or not) let up on the torque to improve shifting, not a big deal.

However on a MTB it's more challenging, more forces (sideways, skidding, jumps, rock gardens, etc), larger temperature changes, more variable torque (large gear ranges and suspension travel induced torque), and more need for shifting under full torque. For example when climbing a steep technical climb strewn with rocks and roots.

All cassettes in the last few decades have on/off ramps to help shifting, however it's pretty much the luck of the draw when you shift, doubly so when shifting multiple gears at once.

SRAM has managed quite the evolution and got the bike industry on board. First they replaced the weakest part of the frame (I've personally lost a frame to this), the derailleur hanger. Now the derailleur is effectively attacked to the rear hub and is perfectly aligned, there's all kinds of silly demos showing them being hit by hammers or standing on them when the bike is on it's side. I saw a study showing that on 5 year old bikes something approximately 50% of bikes has a misaligned hanger, enough to make shifting worse.

Now with that crazy big improvement in strength, durability, alignment, and best of all the bike industry now doesn't require a custom hanger for every bike with variable derailleur positioning, it can now just design in the bike axle.

Now they have a electronic shifter that gets rid of temp variability, cable issues, and can tuck in to avoid hits. It also knows where the ramps are, so it can shift exactly when needed, which allows full torque shifting seemlessly. In fact people complain it doesn't work particularly well when on a bike stand, but does extremely well when actually ridden on the trail.

Is it worth the cost, complexity, and charging once a month? That's up to the end user, but it is a pretty noticeable improvement. Some ebikes can supply the derailleur from the main battery.

I'm pretty late to the game with most bike developments, but I'm considering this one, perfect shifting under load is pretty attractive. My current bike is pretty finicky shifting wise. I replace the cable, casing, and clean/lubricate my derailleur and it gets better, not great though or at least not for long.
Funny how a human can learn to do those things with approximately $1B less effort.

How does this same thing not apply to physical libraries then? Even if the scope were limited to books IA itself owns (which they still denied anyways), why should one-to-one digital lending be any different than physical in-person library book lending?
It's ok and normal to be a hypocrite, why deny something so natural at the expense of jumbling your mind up in a spaggheti of excuses.

Leading up to the votes for the move out of Delaware it became pretty clear how significant parts of the non institutional investors are rallying behind Musk. I don't think I have ever seen such a frenzy getting people to go for a proxy vote. That is not happening because Tesla is great, that's happening because there was a real worry about what Musk would do.

I don't know for sure, but if I were to guess I would say a not insignificant part of Tesla's market prices is Musk himself.

You're quite right - attaining GSO would indeed require only another 3 or 4km/s. But it does seem a little unfair to put it in GSO; we'd surely want people in both hemispheres to get a chance to gawk at our new satellite!
The paradox of maintaining free markets is that you often need state power to ensure competition is being done fairly. That means regulations, and intervention from time to time. That’s at least the ordoliberal line in Germany, at least, the Freiburg school. They seem to have built a quite successful postwar economy there. Endorsing free markets does not have to equate with an unquestioning obsession, bordering on fetishistic, with liberty.
The trouble with your definition is the violence necessary to steal the means of production so you can set it up for your workers. A totalitarian government is required to do that. The workers will be severely constrained in what they can do - like set up their own businesses.

Freedom means not being dictated to by the mob.
Boom Overture, which does not yet exist, is supposed to have a range of 4,250 nm (presuming they can get their engines to actually exist, which is a giant question-mark). That means they can bring JFK-FRA into service, but SFO-SIN is going to be tight even on just one refueling stop (7340 nm but the jet stream is working against you the entire way- sometimes it will require a second refueling stop!).
The order of the events in your timeline is not fully correct, the "same monetary umbrella and blocked the accounts of SpaceX" part happened on 24 August, the "X was banned in the country" part happened on 30 August (and that 30 August order mentioned and gave the date for the earlier block of the SpaceX accounts).

?? Did I miss a news article?? I know we've successfully landed on the moon, but we don't have reliable ways of commuting there let alone setting up a colony.

mars is just a little bit further away and has similar atmosphere problems as the moon.
Its on the employees then namely the managers but also the ground-level folk to organize. There's a reason companies like Amazon go after unions so hard.

But even before that, I feel like there is enough information on working at Amazon at this point that anyone with the ability to choose between Amazon and another job should pick the latter. Worker strikes are just as effective.
It is more complex, but the complexity in spec can help keep codebases simpler... a lot of the new complexity takes place of some gnarly JS and CSS hacks. Looking back at my career it's hard to believe we used to build websites entirely in tables for layout.

Keep in mind that, while OpenRouter gives you the upstream price for OpenAI/Anthropic models (so you pay the same per token), there's a loading charge, so if you want to load $10 in credits you pay $12 or so.

This means that it's more expensive than calling OpenAI directly, even though they have the same price per token.
> And talking on the phone is obviously even safer than talking to other people physically in the car

This is not true, because people physically in the car have the context of what's happening on the road, and can be aware enough to pause for a few seconds while you navigate a difficult situation that requires your full attention.
"Engineer" in the software world is just a job title like calling yourself a "scrum ninja". It's not a protected title like "professional engineer" in the US or the equivalent in SA. The bar for the former is "I like it", the bar for the latter is usually set by law.

Lying about your software engineering chops might get you fired, maybe even on the hook in a civil lawsuit. Lying about being a professional engineer while practicing engineering is usually a criminal matter.

So I can't imagine lying about your software engineering chops landing you in prison even if we're talking about critical sectors like medical or aerospace.

I think he's afraid, and rightly so, of it getting adopted without being understood but then getting more popular than the original idea and drowning it out. It's the same reason people speak against introducing Douglas Engelbart as the "inventor of the mouse" when he was so much more than that. Look at Scratch. I think it's a pretty objectively a bad way to introduce programming systems to children, especially over something like Logo, but it is incredibly popular. And I'm not referring to the so-called visual aspect of it. I think it's just fundamentally a very uninteresting permutation and medium of teaching.

That's a very dismissive and unrealistic statement. There are plenty of investors investing in things such as AI and crypto out of FOMO who either see something that isn't there or are just pretending to see something in the hope of getting rich.

Obviously, there are plenty of investors who don't fall into this situation. But lets not pretend that just because someone has a lot of money or invests a lot of money that it means they know what they are doing.

Yes, and I think that describes the past few decades in Japan (among other factors).

Other options included pensioners taking a haircut and/or workers taking a paycut, neither of which is particularly palatable and still runs us into the ground eventually. Increasing corporate taxes could square the circle for a little while, but then corporations would slowly move more operations offshore, decreasing tax revenues eventually anyway. There's also the option of cutting other government expenditures, but eventually that stops working and at least some of the things that were cut can't stay un(der)funded forever.

The only other (distantly) feasible idea I can think of would be, again with an eye to Japan (of the past), near-total isolation from other countries economically, but that would have an even more substantial stagnating effect.
These are things people are already doing in native app code, so we've got to have some web equivalents or everyone's going to be doing everything in walled gardens.

Plumber's pay is about on par with that of software engineers in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Job satisfaction, anecdotally, seems to be a bit better than software engineers, too.

I talk to a lot of both parties. I'm personally in a jack of all trades job that has me doing everything from occasionally using shovels in dirt and other manual labor, as well as higher-end stuff, like programming. It's pretty nice, mental health-wise.

Onyx BOOX. Set the refresh rate to anything faster than "Normal"/"Regal", and you can page through docs pretty much as fast as you'd care to.

NeoReader (Onyx's book reader app) also has a lightbox / page preview mode where you can see 4, 9, or 16 pages at once. Obviously too small to read at 16 pages up, but good enough to spot figures, diagrams, chapter breaks, and the like. That renders pretty quickly on ePub or generated PDFs, but can be slow on scanned-in books where you're looking at images of text rather than rendered text.

> cursory search on the decibel levels for a supersonic boom comes up with 110dB

Short answer is we aren’t able to predict how loud a sonic boom will be [1]. Raw decibels produced at source is one thing. But you also have components like direction, dispersion (spatially as well as temporally) and frequency and how altitude and even moisture effect all that.

We’re making progress [2]. But the conventional wisdom is you need a perceived loudness on the ground that matches subsonic airliners to have a hope in hell of FAA approval. (Would note that a sonic boom in this context is not a physical phenomenon but summary of perceptions. There will always be an acoustic reaction to supersonic flight. But the far field effects that characterise a “boom” aren’t inherent to supersonic flight.)

> when to encrypt

It depends on what you want to do, if it's user login over HTTPS you can pass a plaintext password to the server and hash/compare on the server only. It would still be secure because the plaintext is never saved in a db (only the hash is), and was TLS encrypted in transport.

-----

> This is a sha256 hash of my birthday, write a function that returns if I'm over 21: `1028d7ea22cbbcb17c4926b08b591506227d7b0e32ce6ce76122461e551a5ab2`

You hash the point of access like a password or key, not the data itself. When the access is granted, you return the data. sha256 is never meant to be decrypted. It would be like this:

interface User {
id: sha256;
name: string;
age: number;
}

const users: User[] = fetchUsers();

const isOver21 = plaintextId => users[encrypt(plaintextId)]?.age >= 21;

If your requirement is to actually to decrypt the sha256 you misunderstand the purpose of one-way encryption. That said - if you really wanted such a system, for such a finite list of dates (365 x 21 = 7665) you can easily maintain an array of the valid 7,665 sha256's on any given day. If it doesn't match a sha256 on file, that birthdate is not a person over 21.

const validHashes: BirthdateHashSha256[] = seedHashesForToday();

const isOver21 = hash => validHashes.includes(hash);

Looks like he ordered trains that were too tall, risking issues with tunnels, turn engineering, derailment, etc, and got caught by people who actually did know the engineering and science involved. Some things require credentials because it's evidence that the person knows what questions to ask, what to look for, and how to plan within the constraints of their domain of expertise.

This guy could probably do a great job supporting a person or team that had the right training, but his ignorance was risky, regardless of his intentions.

I've seen the flip side, too, where PhDs have given awful people license to behave badly, inflicting their "expertise" on people as if it made up for the lack of diligence and follow-through, leaving destroyed companies and people in their wake.

Gotta have the work ethic and the training - the institutions behind formal engineering disciplines do a great job of ensuring they qualify the people who will put in the work and know what they're doing.
> If I disagree and shop elsewhere I'm effectively disagreeing with the workers and telling them I think they are making a bad deal and I don't want to contribute to their livelihood.

The fact that you can't order a product with any certainty that what you get won't be co-mingled fake trash from a third party is the best reason to stop ordering from them tbh.

Objects in heaps can be reached in more than one way. We don't want to traverse any object twice, because we will loop, so we must use the GC marked bit.

Yet! There is a way to report all the paths by which an grepped-out object is reachable.

Say we encounter an interesting object O for the first time, at path A B C. So we have A.B.C.O.

We keep objects A, B and C in a hash table. The hash table represents nodes we have visited, which are on the path to a hit.

Then say we encounter object B again, at path X Y Z B. B is a hit in our hash table, and so we report X.Y.Z.B.C.O as another hit for object O, without descending into B again.
Everyone here is assuming that a very large LLM is their goal. 5 years ago, transformer models were not the biggest hype in AI. Since they apparently have a 10 year plan, we can assume they are hoping to invent one or two of the "big steps" (on the order of invention of transformer models). "SSI" might look nothing like GPT\d.
Corporations don't need humans. They need mechanisms that efficiently do the work assigned to them. As that's currently not possible, corporations try to mechanize humans: give them a rigorous set of rules to follow and a machine to watch and punish them should they break the rules.
