I don't think speed of a full compile (including your dependencies) is the right thing to optimize for -- and incremental compiles don't rebuild dependencies. In a project that depends on serde, for example, most compiles in an ordinary dev cycle are probably not recompiling serde. And sccache reduces the incidence of unnecessary rebuilds far further. Even clean builds tend to get through my dependencies quite quickly.

> I think vibes are underrated. The smart people can easily mislead you because they're smart. So you can cover things up with "official statistics", maliciously or by accident.

> For instance, inflation is a big one. I remember during the first spike in inflation (2021 I believe), I started nothing prices have gone up between 25-50%. We've been told at the time inflation was something like 7% but that would mean paying $5.35 for something that used to cost $5, which was obviously not what was happening. In short, they play games with the numbers.

When there is a mismatch between your personal gut feeling and some official number or alleged fact in the world, there are different ways you can react:

A) You could think "Hmm, that's weird, is it possible that I'm missing something?"

B) You default to thinking that clearly you are right, so this is just another case of those so-called experts lying to you.

Had your response been A), you would have looked a bit more into it and realized that the overall inflation number is not based just on a subset of a few grocery items, but based on all different kinds of living expenses that people have. Many of those prices increased much less in 2021 than the overall 7% inflation rate (e.g., prescription drugs, cell phone plans, airline fares, motor vehicle insurance), so naturally, inflation in other categories was much higher to result in an overall rate of 7%.

If your gut feeling also tells you to doubt the inflation numbers for individual item categories released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ([1]), you can get the raw data for those too, if I remember correctly.

One problem with your gut feeling is that it's very susceptible to various biases. For instance, the price of one grocery item increasing by 30% will be much more noticeable to you than the price of another item staying the same. It's also very easy to not realize that you are comparing the current price to the one from two years ago or so, thereby dramatically overestimating the yearly inflation rate.

I didn't mean to single you out, but the tendency by so many people to have overconfident knee jerk reactions to various information, instead of at least considering that they might have unknown unknowns or things they don't fully understand, is something that really concerns me.

Power flows from controlling the media. Those who have that power lock out those who are outside the Overton Window, and the further they are outside, the more they are locked out. Those who are out have to turn to fringe media in order to get their message out at all.

But in the internet age, "fringe media" can become mainstream rather quickly - more quickly than the old gatekeepers can keep up. The gatekeepers think in terms of "we control these media, and they're the only media that matters", rather than "we control access to information, no matter via what medium. If there's a new medium that starts to become important, we need to control it."

So the outsiders sometimes become powerful on a new medium, and then the medium becomes important, and now they're powerful on an important medium.

In some ways, it's good that there's a way to do an end run around the gatekeepers. But in other ways, the people who do it are... often not the ones you would wish to have success at controlling any medium.
My grandfather had Alzheimer's. I visited him in the nursing home. He mistook me for his late brother, and presumed that we were about to go on a trip, that he had already taken decades ago, to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

I didn't know what to do so I just played along with it. We spent the next hour having the most in depth and amazing conversation about the history of hist Baseball experiences from his youth. He remembered nearly everything from that period of his life and we discussed it in exceptional detail.

I walked away both elated that we could have that moment and incredibly sad that most victims of this disease seem entirely trapped within it. They're still in there. They're still that same person.

I suffer from seasonal allergies that last anywhere from 2-4 months out of the year. During the height of allergy season, I take Claritin-D – a mixture of loratadine and pseudoephedrine.

Claritin-D 24-hour caplets come in boxes of 10.
You need 3 boxes to get a full month's supply.
Each caplet has 240mg of pseudoephedrine – 2.4g per box.

In my state, individuals can purchase up to 9g of pseduoephedrine per month, but only up to 3.6g per day.

So, while I can technically purchase a full month's supply of Claritin-D, I can't buy more than one box at a time.

These sorts of rules are minor inconveniences for an individual compared to the rest of life's challenges, but they exist in a special category of stupid that make them all the more frustrating.

But, here's a thought: what if I had children who needed the same medication? Who's going without?

> I can guarantee you have never used an LLM to code anything seriously large, complex, or novel

I'm not claiming to have done so, I'm saying almost all of the business ideas in the current bubble are so small and trivial they're also easily duplicated by an LLM.

I agree with the implication that where LLMs are at their best is precisely when they're not doing something large, complex or (particularly) novel.

But most of the ideas being tried out are also not large, complex or novel — just as the dot-com bubble had "making a loss on every sale but making it up with volume" and then the mobile app era had "now you can order your pizza on your phone" (like you couldn't already even without an app), the AI era has many very poorly thought out ideas that are easy to replicate.

Plug-in electric hair clippers. During the pandemic I got something cordless and it was serviceable, but seemed to take a long time, and as the batteries drained the performance dropped significantly. I picked up a set at the store while getting groceries that plugs into the wall and everything is so much faster and easier with full power all the time. I can’t believe I suffered with the little cordless one for 3 years.

I was about to start going back to the barber shop, but when I saw the prices were 2-3x what I remembered, the new clippers paid for themselves in 1 or 2 cuts.

> why couldn't multicellular life still exist?

We don't know the fundamental energy requirements of complex life. The threshold may be 2%. It may be 19.995%. If non-mitochondrial metabolism is common, the Earth would still be rare in that we'd be the "fast" biosphere. The high-octane species. Given how power-intensive intelligence is, that might be material. (Or it might not.)

More fundamentally: we have no plausible alternate chemistries that don't bootstrap on mitochondrial life. (We do for photosynthesis.)
There is also the opportunity to turn this scale of farming into a livelihood. Jamiah Hargins followed the SPIN-Farming system to start Crop Swap. Google SPIN Farming. There's a lot about it. It is being used in the US and Canada.

I think it'd be a great idea to perscribe physical therapy for people who need to exercise. Especially for the highly inactive who may not know how to start, and haven't made it a routine. That would send patients to a therapist who would help make sure they aren't doing more than they should and that they're working out correctly, and also provide the doctor with feedback/monitoring of their progress.

The problem is that in the US no doctor is going to do that because no insurance company will pay for it. In the US even people who have serious injuries and need physical therapy to recover properly from them often can't get their insurance to pay for physical therapy or to pay for enough of it (for example insurance might only cover 3 sessions when they need 12)

Insurance companies would rather have doctors print out a a few sheets of paper that kind of explain several exercises (maybe with a couple black and white pictures if you're lucky) and then expect the patients to figure it all out on their own at home, in the exact same environment they have been in, surrounded by distractions, and with no one to help them which leads to poor compliance and zero data to give back to the doctor.

Insurance companies are criminally stupid in this sense. They'd rather not pay for things that would make people healthier like physical therapy, preventative medicine, medical tests, or even gym memberships, even when by not doing those things it will clearly end up costing them more down the road.

Well, my grandmother had dementia.

Her illness progressed very quickly in the sense that it only took her about a year for her to regress into an infant mentally. She spent about 10 - 13 years in bed screaming like a child.

My point being that dementia can progress quickly, but you can still live with it for a long time (if you are unlucky enough). We, as in her family, spent years hoping she would die, while she spent years suffering.

Japan is also a convenient 'bridge' of what is commonly categorized as Western culture and Eastern culture. This is somewhat by their own design, and has a long history given both their own Westernization efforts from their infamous imperial days and post occupation. That gives them a unique niche of exotic and yet somewhat comfortably familiar so that it more often feels 'weird' but not necessarily 'alienating'.

China is the new kid on the block in comparison, even if China was a robust democracy they would be at a disadvantage in cultural propagation from this. They try to promote some of their own cultural products but a dictatorship self-sabotages anything too good or popular having a deliberate chilling effect.

Korea as a third culture makes a decent comparative reference. They are 'newer' culturally than Japan (in terms of widespread western cultural exposure) but South Korean music, film, and TV are growing and more evident among younger generations. There are some western Manhwa fans but it is still more niche.
I am not sure you should be relying on an LLM as any indication of anything...

> Journalists like to talk about the patents, maybe because they're legible to nontechnical people

Journalists usually repeat what said experts, unfortunately, not always include enough context to understand.

Patents context is global West, where patents are extremely powerful, so nobody could violate patent and make business on this. And as I know, in many cases people scared even to talk about something patented, and to do something scared like from hell.

On global East (example ex-USSR), patents are mostly harmless, but also don't exist all other economy infrastructure, need to make big things (I mean free market, open borders, powerful VC funds, powerful industry).
This process, known as primary endosymbiosis, happened at least twice, for mitochondria and chloroplasts. Further, while all chloroplasts (and more widely plastids) appear to share a common ancestor, there is evidence that mitochondria may descend from multiple lineages that underwent lateral gene transfer and/or convergent evolution. Nitroplasts are a likely another, separate instance of primary endosymbiosis.

There is also secondary endosymbiosis, where the endosymbiont organelles of one eukaryote are engulfed and incorporated into another eukaryotic cell to create a new type of endosymbiont. This has happened at least 8 times.

There are also theories that some other organelles are the product of other endosymbiosis events, many of which also have some of the hallmarks like their own genetic material. These theories are more speculative though.

It's also worth noting that while eukaryotes obviously gained some important capabilities from incorporating these endosymbionts, the endosymbionts they incorporated obviously managed to just evolve to perform those functions directly. Further, while one of eukaryotes' distinguishing features are mitochondria, there are several other major differences, and mitochondria are not believed to be what made eukaryotes better able to evolve complex multicellularity. Prokaryotes have indeed evolved multicellularity dozens of times, and we arbitrarily set our definition of complex multicellularity to distinguish from what prokaryotes have achieved.
My issue with that analogy is that the CPU is more like the engine of a car, and people certainly do buy cars just to have a vehicle with a given engine.

When it was only the iPad with the M4, it was easier to be sympathetic to your cause, since the iPad is totally locked down and isn't a general purpose computing device since it can't run arbitrary code. But now the Mac Mini is available. It is a general purpose computing device, and you can install Firefox and Linux or whatever you want.

It doesn't meet the level of hardware vendor purity you're asking for, sure, but that's a more ideological now that there's a general purpose computer with the M4 for sale. (Just wish it were cheaper.)

And since it just went on sale today, I was highlighting that, since other readers might want to know that they can now get a computer with an M4.

It's the other way. Under EC the election is often decided by a single state with tiny margin, and because America does not have the good sense to use a national standard voting system, it falls to the eccentricity of the particular state (and its counties) doing whatever they think is adequate. Look up the "hanging chad" controversy of 2000 - paper punching machines might have not worked properly for a few hundred votes and it potentially decided the outcome of the nation.

Under popular vote, even the minimal vote margins are quite large because it's aggregated at the national scale - e.g., Kennedy defeated Nixon in 1960 with only 0.17% difference in popular vote, which was still 113K votes.

To sway that election, you would've had to organize across multiple states to find a way to smuggle 113K votes illegally, while not getting any suspicions from poll workers and people tabulating results. And non of your co-conspirators should ever divulge it. It's so ridiculous that it approaches "9/11 was an insider job" territory.
