Well, if you just look at the numbers, this claim is obviously not supported. E.g. it is estimated that there are billions of lines of Java code still in development and operation worldwide; Java forces the programmer to use classes and objects. Even C# is more prevalent in industry projects than e.g. the more jounger Rust or Go languages. It will take many decades before Java or C# are going to be replaced, if at all. That said, OOP is just one of the tools available to software engineers, and every engineer will choose their tools with care and (hopefully) select the most appropriate tools for the job. As with any technology hype, a lot of nonsense was talked about OOP in the nineties and expectations were raised that could not be met. This has of course damaged the reputation of OOP. But this happens with practically all popular technologies. At the moment, we can also see it with Rust, for example.
It imports the ObservableHQ runtime in one of the first code blocks.
Captchas have been obsolete for the past decade plus.

With solving services like DeathByCaptcha and AntiCaptcha, it takes seconds to solve them. It costs something like $1.90 per 1,000 successfully solved captchas using human typers and OCR. It can easily be rolled into your code with a few lines.
Had the same thing in the Midwest about 8 months ago. Had to call a half dozen offices before one would take me and appointments had to be scheduled long in advance. I had not been to the doctor as an adult either and was quickly surprised by how frustrating healthcare is.
What's the problem with redoing it every few decades when you can deploy new more efficient technology, make profit on your investment and it is cheaper for the consumers?

You do know that the full cost including investment for renewables with a 10-20 year ROI are about equal to what running paid off nuclear plant costs? Excluding the accident insurance [1] and decommissioning costs for nuclear power.

A 90 year nuclear project compared to investing every 20 years in more efficient renewables mean:

Assume a 20% ROI, which is very low but easy to calculate.

Year 0: 100% in renewables

Year 20: You have 120% to reinvest. You can now build 120% of renewables plus whatever efficiency gains we had in the last 20 years.

Year 40: you have you have 144% of the original investment to deploy + 40 years of efficiency gains.

Year 60: you have 173% of the original investment to deploy + 60 years of efficiency gains.

Year 80: you have 207% of the original investment to deploy + 60 years of efficiency gains

This is why building nuclear power with a 90 year pay off time is pure idiocy. Building renewables with a short pay off time led to us to have double the energy in 80 years time while also being able to deploy 80 years more modern technology.

Maybe you should look up how compound interest works? [2]

Why you do you keep suggesting the scenario where we simply lose money? Because you entwined your identity with a power source and are using you lack of understanding of economics to try justify it?

Private investors are all over renewables?

Is there a name for this kind of unscientific luddism? Microsoft has had decades of outstanding business success, making money hand over fist with the standard business operating system, and an integrated suite of productivity tools that power all of the world's jobs. There's just no substitute for Microsoft apps. Yet the author of this hit piece blames Microsoft for progress that energize the next business cycle, and allow greater employee efficiency.
Not even close. Being from the US, I've worked both in Japan and Europe. Nothing holds a candle to how bad Japan is. It's unbelievable.
Excluding undeserving individuals from government benefits is not controversial.

What would be controversial is classifying people as undeserving for past actions that

(1) were and are completely legal,

(2) are not even considered to be bad by a large fraction of the country, and

(3) have nothing whatsoever to do with what they are being excluded from.
Well, it's a non-commercial license. The $2000 limit is already kind of generous, especially since it's a profit limit and not a revenue limit.

Without having read the fineprint you could make a lot of revenue as long as you keep reinvesting the money into stuff related to your solidworks side-hustle (buying 3D printers, material, CNC machines, workstations, whatever).
Right? I cringed when I read it.
Unlke some comments are implying, this is not a solar distiller with "additional steps". It still uses far less energy than distillation as it doesn't involve phase changes.

It uses Electrodialysis, which is a mass separation process in which electrically charged membranes and an electrical potential difference are used to separate ionic species from an aqueous solution and other uncharged components.
They already sort of do. Every time you apply to a job on LinkedIn, even if you click through to the company's ATS, LinkedIn tries to upsell their premium services, which allegedly promotes your resume. I saw no difference in the applications I submitted during the trial, which I assume is similar to the results folks see with super likes on Tinder.
When my primary care doc referred me to a dermatologist for a suspicious mole, I could not find an actual dermatologist who would see me in less than ~8 months. I ended up seeing a physician's assistant, which I'm still uneasy about since there's been a study that shows that PA's seem to have a lower success rate vs. doctors [1], and the educational requirements are very different for PAs.

As a layperson, it seems like we (patients / society) would benefit from having more doctors, i.e. opening up more residency slots and admitting more people to med school, but there's probably a lot I don't understand about the issue. Not sure if it's a lack of political willpower to do this, or if there are other reasons why the number of doctors we train is so restricted.

The problem is that this process would likely use more energy than you could ever hope to gain from photosynthesis, even assuming it could be as efficient as in algae.
I think this is something people just don't want to admit. It's easy to overlook prices being ridiculous when your monthly payment is all principal. That period of time of ZIRP constantly had me wondering how financing was making money.
Remember that from hCaptcha's point of view, by this point they've probably dealt with hundreds of other people claiming that they are blind when they really aren't, so their bots will work.

This isn't a defense, just an explanation... but it is also an explanation of why the entire idea of "we'll not give blind people a way past the CAPTCHA but just give a pass to 'real' blind people so we can pass ADA", which is that it should have been transparently obvious that this approach is completely infeasible and unscalable. As big as Google, Facebook, or Amazon are, they would struggle under the load of trying to create a system for determining who is "truly" blind... and that's still true if we ignore questions like exactly what "blind" is anyhow.

This shouldn't have gotten deployed and then become a problem; it should have been a 5 minute diversion in the meeting where it was proposed to analyze it's completely infeasible and never made it to so much as the design phase, let alone the deployment phase.

If you had a system for completely accurately identifying characteristics like "who is blind" in the presence of extremely hostile attacks on the system, you'd have something far more valuable than the CAPTCHA system itself! The whole idea intrinsically depends on having a stronger solution to the problems CAPTCHAs are meant to solve than the CAPTCHA system itself provides... it's fundamentally a logically unsound idea.

AFAICT, way back in the day hospitals and clinics did residencies out of a desire for free/cheap labor, the same reason that some firms provide internships in other fields today. Nowadays the costs and obligations of providing a residency far exceed the benefits of the lower cost labor.
Why is writing documentation so hard?
I’ve always struggled with documentation. As a solo developer and founder, I spend hours trying to organize my thoughts and put them into readable documents, whether it’s a product requirements doc, a user guide, or onboarding docs for a team.

It got me thinking—why hasn’t anyone made this easier? So I decided to try.

I’ve been working on a tool called Proganize, which uses AI to help people write and collaborate on docs faster. It’s early days, but I’d love feedback from the community.

What do you think makes documentation so painful? What would an ideal solution look like?

Newly discovered amber reveals Antarctica once looked different
This is a questionable way to present what's an excellent project and hopefully soon to be commercialized technology. The big deal here is it's a presumably installation ready application of EDR for desalination instead of RO which most systems use. This is a big deal because the membranes use electricity instead of pressure as the filter, which means everything can run at low, normal plumbing, pressures instead of the crazy high pressure RO stuff. For seawater it's borderline whether or not it will match RO for performance, but for lower salinity groundwater and industrial wastewater, it should be significantly higher performance for the same power as well as lower maintenance and capex.

The no batteries thing is basically irrelevant to the innovation, and in fact Genius Water already offers no battery RO systems, also with questionable benefit (as well as being difficult to work with).

I run a solar and water focused EPC in East Africa and will hopefully be working with these guys in the future when they're off the ground with a commercial system. The potential is extremely high, particularly if the maintenance overhead and operational complexity can come down in practice.
If you lose healthcare """insurance""" when you lose your job, you never had real insurance to start with.

From my very limited experience having visited the country as a tourist, they appear to lead “simple” lives from the outside. Unfortunately many are not well off, “fortunately” the standards of living are oftentimes simple enough that it’s not a problem.

What I can imagine, is that many (youngsters) may rather prefer a more “modern” life with McDonalds and iPhones, particularly if they are able to actually achieve it.

Which one is better? I’m not going to comment. But I do want to add as a closing statement that the country (and people) were absolutely amazing. I’d definitely love to go there again if I can, the mountains are pretty much magical and the people really friendly. I hope they manage to succeed, socially speaking.
I flipped through the "unseen forces" section and so far about half of them aren't actually bad. For example Monochrome 006 (supposedly inspired by Schoenberg) would IMO fit right in at MOMA and was actually kind of cool. Likewise, Inside The Egg, Twins In Utero, and Spewing Marshmallows were both really interesting. Some of these are actually goofy doodles, but it's a shame to dismiss everything that isn't a conventional oil painting as "bad". I say this as someone who doesn't really enjoy or appreciate modern art (or modern music like Schoenberg for that matter).

I see the same problem in other sections too. A New Day looks like a child's doodle. But Greenscape and Burning Bush are interesting. They both look like they were painted by big Bob Ross fans. Amateur, sure. But hardly "bad art" to the point of being in a museum of bad art. Or maybe they're much worse in person?
Experiment: you think LLMs can innovate on chip design? Ask it to do something much simpler: invent a new better sorting algorithm. We use names such as Timsort or Djikstra for a specific reason: because it requires rare human ingenuity to invent such things. If an LLM can’t invent a new sorting algorithm that is meaningfully better in some way than existing known algorithms, then good luck on something much harder like chip design.

> In January 2024, an individual affiliated with the Torswats Telegram account and claiming to be a friend of Filion suggested that he was part of a group aiming to incite racial violence and that he sought money to “buy weapons and commit a mass shooting.” The allegation aligns with a written tip, placed to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center in April 2023 and obtained by WIRED, alleging that the person behind the Torswats account was involved in a neo-Nazi cult known as the Order of Nine Angles.

I wonder if this was supposed to be Nine Angels. Copy editing on the web is so sloppy that I'm going to assume so because it makes more sense (to me).

Wow, neo-nazis are a fun bunch. Their ideas about accelerationism and trying to induce race riots have got to be our biggest semi-organized domestic threat. It's encouraging to see authorities seemingly beginning to catch on to this, as well as widespread recognition of what swatting is. Five years ago was a very different story, especially on the latter.

In EU, there is a severe shortage of MDs. Part of the problem is that the number of students is not sufficient to satisfy MD demand. In some countries, this is a deliberate policy imposed by MD lobbies, who act like a cartel. In other countries, the job is simply not attractive due to relatively low salaries and high workload. So students choose other degrees, or they immigrate after graduation. Furthermore, an aged population and lack of adequate policy planning does not help.

I don't get the argument for using web technologies to complicate this process. What does this added complexity solve? If anything, it slows the process and remove much needed features like auto-completions, snippets, and extensions. Also, it makes collaboration harder, since, most likely, others aren't familiar with your setup.

You only need to setup one environment once and use it forever with minor incremental improvements as tech evolves.

If you are a n/vim user, you can accomplish this by:

1- Data exploration: text -> jupyter notebook via https://github.com/untitled-ai/jupyter_ascending that uses jupytext. This way, you can efficiently edit and run code from your text editor.

2- Writing: you can use https://github.com/lervag/vimtex for LaTeX

On top of these, you can use tmux with tmuxp to open projects instantly.

You can have a seamless process with Emacs using org mode [1] [2] and/or Auctex.

Admittedly I'm not familiar with bhutan. Besides basics, and buddhism connections. Lets take a look.

>Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay believes it is ironically the success of Gross National Happiness that has made young Bhutanese so sought after abroad.

They are 95th place for GDP.

125th place for HDI.

I wouldn't even consider working on 'happiness' with the numbers that bad.

Bhutan's balance of trade appears to be entirely negative. So the country is getting poorer.

Their GDP numbers are 5% growth every year? That seems impossible.

3% unemployment and 65% participation rate.

Lets call it a ~4-5% inflation average or worse.

6.8% interest rate, while never ever being below 6%? So they target what 5%? So its not that GDP growth at 5% is impossible. They are essentially saying they havent had gdp growth in decades, they are hiding a major depression?

In the last 10 years Bhutan has doubled their money supply, while population is leaving? LOL incoming government collapse.

government debt to gdp is ~130%. 100% is the magical threshold you're not allowed to cross. If you're the federal reserve and Tbills reputation might allow you to go above 100% like the USA in 2020... but Bhutan has no such ability. They likely cant cross ~40% if i were to estimate.

Major deficit spending across the last 25 years.

Sales tax of 50%

Income tax of 30%

>Bhutan was, and is today, largely a subsistence agricultural society. Many families still live in multigenerational farmhouses.

I'd be leaving as well. Nobody is seeking Bhutan people. The bhutan people are fleeing the inevitable.

Bhutan is about 20% debt/gdp from a venezuela level collapse. If by some magic they dont collapse there, they are about 40% from a greece like collapse.

Bhutan is already about 10% higher than the Sri Lankan collapse.

Fleee Bhutan while you can.
I'm one of the devs not aware of the SWEBOK. Searching the internet all I can find is links to "the guide to SWEBOK".

Sorry to burst your bubble, but unless there is another solar option, the 100 kWh pack will take around 40 days to charge by solar at 700W from 20% to 80%. Otherwise, it seems like the solar part is greenwashing with a bit of '70's-style geodesic dome and Balans chair styling. I'm all for cheap(er) EVs that don't involve Tesla like Scout or BYD.
I guess the main reason here isn't "keeping an old version", but having a version that doesn't require an internet connection to be activated and doesn't send any data to Adobe.

But having an older version can be useful too because some features from previous releases may be missing in current ones, so that's a way to ensure access to the old files. A couple of years ago all the Pantone colours used in Photoshop just became black after an update because Adobe stopped licensing Pantone stuff.
>The issue is that police operate in extremely high pressure novel situations all the time.

Police mostly act as professional witnesses taking reports and engage in revenue generating law enforcement.

The most high pressure situations they deal with with any regularity involve mediating domestic disputes or wrestling angry drunks.

Police absolutely are not dealing with violent criminals on the daily. And when they do go out of their way to deal with people who many become violent they show up with the kind numerical advantage that would make Stalin proud.

Your average beat cop probably un-holsters their handgun once a month to once a year depending on where and when they patrol. These high stress high stakes split second judgement call situations are not a daily or weekly thing.

>I'm not sure that's easy to do, and I'm certain the public would never accept the finding that a police officer made an honest mistake, and won't be punished, but somebody got killed.

They do accept this and did for decades. The only reason it's no longer being blanked accepted is because the modern media landscape makes it much harder to hide the fact that a huge fraction of these "honest mistakes" were in fact not so honest and not so mistaken.

Basically nobody has a problem with honest mistakes by themselves. What people have a problem with is thug behavior. Spending decades classifying various degrees of thug behavior as honest mistakes is why nobody wants to tolerate honest mistakes.

AI stuff is why CAPTCHAs exist. It's also why they've gotten so much worse the last few years.

I couldn't say for sure that some UNIX shell somewhere at some point did not do home directory wildcard expansion -- seems like a WMD grade foot gun, but OK -- but as you've noticed, tcsh does not do it and in fact even if you go back to csh in NeXTStep from 1989 it doesn't do it either.
