Well, Buurtzorg is a large organization, it's just that it does not have a large hierarchy. I suspect you're really asking "high-trust" and "large hierarchy". In that case there's plenty of causes to point at. I'll just give a few of the top of my head

First, note any organization that breaks into different departments (hierarchical or not), at least partially does so to let each department "abstract" away the other ones - if you don't have to worry about issues outside of your responsibility, you can focus more on yours. That is actually a form of trust.

In the case of a hierarchy however, that means that each layer abstracts away the layers above and below, and since going up multiple levels in the hierarchy happens indirectly, the further away, the more abstract things become. So that often needs some kind of structure to regain the trust that is lost by dealing with abstract departments - leading to bureaucracy.

On top of that, usually more power resides higher up the hierarchy. That means that without explicit structures to compensate for this, people lower in the hierarchy lack individual leverage to protect themselves against bad decisions made higher up, that may not even be malicious or intentional but just a consequence of the aforementioned abstraction.

Of course, most structures that are created to fix this typically are also abstract procedures, meaning they barely help with our instinctual "I cannot attach a face to this" type of distrust. Bureaucracy can create leverage, but rarely creates trust. Which also explains that quite often, talking to someone in person can make such a difference in being allowed to "go ahead" or not. Because it can provide a more "natural" sense of trust that bureaucracy is supposed to provide but barely does.

Because opening and upgrading computers is a 21st century thing and not a 20th century thing? I'd say it's the other way around!
Just a couple of days ago, after having heard that there's a new Mersenne prime, I had a question pop into my mind: what if it's a twin prime? Is that even possible?

I could try to calculate that on my own, but since it's such a large number, the potential twins are going to take forever to calculate, so I figure I could start with a quick Google search.

And the "AI Overview" feature said it was impossible, because a Mersenne Prime is of the form "2^p - 1" (where p is prime) and thus adding 2 to it will result in "2^p", which is necessarily even.

And then a couple of search results later, there was a post listing Mersenne primes with twins. There are four known, and it's doubtful that there will be more (which is what I expect!) -- but I am astounded by how wrong the AI Overview was on this!

And this was for a mathematical question, where it can be relatively easy to see what went wrong. I would hate to see this kind of mistake show up in health care diagnostics!

Well, I'm willing to make one exception: if the doctor makes the diagnosis first, and then checks it with an AI model, to see if the model catches anything they missed, I'm ok with that. That's probably the "proper" way to use AI in general. If we use AI to replace human competence and knowledge, that is a path that will lead to disaster!

And that's true even if, or worse, especially if AI never actually gets the sentience needed to enslave and/or destroy humanity.

Sure, and there were complaints in Korea, too. Lest we forget, Hangul was developed in 15th century, and was promptly condemned by the educated elites while being enthusiastically adopted by the underclasses. But the elite pushback, going as far as outright bans in some periods, meant that it wouldn't become the standard orthography until 1900s.

I don't think anyone today would seriously argue that Hanja is preferable, though. In retrospect, it's clear that the benefits of easily accessible universal literacy are too substantial to ignore for the sake of tradition.
It's a good idea and consistent with the original use of the term on HN. I guess the downside is if anyone with a cool side project thought that it wouldn't belong under that smaller-sounding umbrella.

There's no guarantee it's possible. Self-replicating molecules don't necessarily have to be hydrocarbons suspended in water inside of a semi-permeable lipid membrane, but that particular solution came about because of conditions that are needed:

- Some multipolar molecules that could attract or repel each other and initiate both hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds.

- Movement through some kind of medium not as chaotic as gas.

- A boundary between self and everything else.

Industrial processes to create machines don't lend themselves to this kind of bottom-up model as they now stand. It's not at all clear that etched silicon at all is the right medium of computation if we want it to be self-replicating. Coming up with something else is a hell of an ask and a hell of a handwave, though. It would also entail getting rid of the entire impetus of Moore's law and the reason futurolists like this ever thought there would be a singularity in the first place. Other than transistor density on a silicion die, I'm not sure any other technology has ever shown consistent long-term exponential growth at some reasonably fixed exponent.

Continuous Machine Learning – CI/CD for Machine Learning Projects
I think there's a bit more at play. Let's contrast with buying hard drugs like meth. If you want to buy meth, you have to figure out how to get in contact with the sorts of people who'll be holding it. That means hanging out where they hang out and blending in to the point they trust you. By the time you've done all that, you've got some sunk costs invested in making connections with drug dealers. You're kind of bought into the whole ecosystem.

In places where weed is legal, you can go into a store, buy some, try it, and if you decide it's not for you, just don't do it again. I don't use weed, but yesterday I walked into a liquor store to buy a stout beer I like. I didn't have to hang out and party with the clerk to get her to trust me enough to sell me my beer. I gave her some money, she handed me a shopping bag, and that's the end of it. That's what it's like buying weed from a dispensary now.

TL;DR if you don't have to hang out with drug dealers to buy drugs, you might be less inclined to buy more stuff from drug dealers.

“the unknown” is a future of at least 2+ (conservatively) degrees celsius by the end of the century, and zero indication thus far this is avoidable. Even if it is we are at a point of irreversible catastrophic effects. Nor is there any world wide effort to take actual actions that will prevent such a dire future - To me, this is reasonably certain enough to be an easy argument. I don’t particularly care for the hand wavy arguments around this fact, either. Even if you somehow don’t believe the evidence here, we’re already starting to see the first, second, and tertiary effects of climate change, and the future extrapolated forward will not be a world I would enjoy to live in, nor for one of my theoretical offspring. This is a perfectly rational response.
> it does seem like negative reinforcement works better than positive reinforcement

It 100% seems that way, but perhaps not for the reason you might think.

In “thinking fast and slow” they highlight that fighter pilots seemed to do better after being criticized rather than praised. They eventually figured out that it’s due to regression to the mean rather than due to the praise/criticism.

Effectively: on average you’ll perform at your baseline. If you do something worth of praise the next likely thing to happen is that you’ll perform at baseline again (so it looks like praise didn’t work). Versus if someone is critiquing a poor performance your next thing will likely be better (but still baseline). This gives the impression that criticisms works better than praise. But it’s really just regression to the mean/baseline.

It’s over generalizing to say that’s the cause 100% of the time, but I bring it up because not intuitive yet makes total sense. I choose to take this and believe that in the long term praise has more upside than punishment (assuming the recipient has high standards and wants to perform well).
I suspect its fairly location specific.

Apple is not nefariously gimping mice, they just don't see a world where people use non-Apple mice which have a touch surface for smooth scrolling. AFAIK this isn't an issue that can be solved with drivers. Logi's software has a persistent daemon that can convert your scrolling to smooth scrolling, but that requires leaving it open in the background. You can also use one of the dozens of open source apps that do the same thing.

Note that there are loads of things that you can't keep working on after you retire. If your company had you in a position where you ran really interesting projects, all of those are the company's projects, not yours. You got to work on them because you worked there, and once you retire you can't just keep working on them, you can't even do the same work on your own because your contract made that pretty clear: now you're committing IP theft.

So you retire, and by law you're no longer allowed to do the thing you love. It's not a good deal.

I’m curious how Go stacks up against C# and Java these days.

“Less languages features, but a better compiler” was originally the aspirational selling point of Go.

And even though there were some hiccups, at least 10 years ago, I remember that mainly being true for typical web servers. Go programs did tend to use less memory, have less GC pauses (in the context of a normal api web server), and faster startup time.

But I know Java has put a ton of work in to catch up to Go. So I wonder if that’s still true today?

I must be missing something here. Don't the tools you mentioned do a lot less than Gradle? Gradle knows test depends on compile, which depends on code generation (say protobuf) - with caching and change detection. Compare that to chaining up the commands in the `scripts` section of `package.json`.

Merely as a "for your consideration," GitLab ships with its own Maven repository (along with npm, docker, Nuget, and a bazillion others)[1] so you have total sovereignty over the publishing auth story. I can appreciate going with Central can be a DX win if you're distributing a library, since having folks add <repository> lines to their pom.xml or settings.xml is a hassle, but at least you get to decide which hassle you prefer :-D

> I don't understand why an actual interrupt would get tripped for virtual serial port writes, and I don't understand why a virtual serial port (i.e. logging) gets swamped by what seems like a moderate stream of data.

If you're running in a VM, how do you know the difference between a virtual interrupt and a actual interrupt? Either way, you're handling an interrupt.

If I understand the issue, it's not that the virtual serial port is swamped really. It seems like the issue is that the virtual serial port is firing its empty/ready interrupt so often (probably after every byte written to the port?) that the driver thinks the interrupt is broken, so then it falls back to polling for readiness. The driver polling rate seems like it's not high enough to keep up with the logging, so then logging blocks.

Probably, it'd be better for the virtual serial port to limit the number of irqs it will send. Limiting the number of interrupts is a key benefit of the 16550 over earlier UART chips; it does this by having a 16 byte buffer and sending interrupts only when the buffer is empty/below a threshold (for outgoing) or full/above a threshold (for incoming). Getting an interrupt for each outbound byte is too many interrupts if you're logging a lot of junk on the serial console (which I'm guessing happens; modern software is full of junky logs IMHO).

Probably the right thing to do would be for virtual machine hosts to over virtio consoles as well as virtual serial ports, and for virtual machine guests to prefer to use a virtualio console rather than a serial port for logging. But it's probably possible to adjust the serial driver options as well. Virtio console could be much more efficient, as it allows transfers larger than a single byte at a time.

Look up "logical positivism" as a philosophical system. It became the dominant academic philosophy for a while (including around 1945). It asserted almost exactly that - that there was no knowledge apart from scientific knowledge (although I believe it did accept direct sensory input as knowledge, and also the operations of pure logic).
