Yeah, like, these are explicitly bad things. I have no idea how the commenter above thought those were brags, those are self-owns. My Master's thesis took 5x longer than it should have because there were no tests or version control, I absolutely limped through it. I'm still not confident some of the results were correct.

But it's also crazy that like, at no point did a single professor go "Submit a git repository, you morons". I was studying at Monash, which is a well-regarded institute in Australia, and I'm now pretty sure that most of the staff didn't know what Git is.

All four of my employers before I went into private consulting didn't use version control either. It's whacky out here.

I agree with you in theory, but we need more sane ways of government to support decent goals without being sucked dry by industry.

It seems the government has had lots of mistakes doing that. For example, supporting the early internet buildout (carriers took money), or getting solar off the ground (early startups took money, disappeared), or whatever happened with GM.
I see you are operating a couple of accounts.

Because the AI that can barely match the cognitive power of a human brain running on a cup of coffee and some calories doesn't sleep, eat, get sick, go on maternity/paternity leave, go on strike, want to be paid, want their pay to increase with the cost of living, or have pesky human rights that limit the value you can extract from them.
Dumb questions: Are they going to sell? When? If not, what's the point?

I know what analogies are. I was extending yours. I was just saying that there are tradeoffs. You don’t think there are, and that’s fine. I can see them and I make my choices accordingly.
If you wholeheartedly trust the government, this is obviously the way to go.

The problem, especially in Latin America, is there's a long history of guys taking power, "doing whatever needs to be done to get the bad guys," and then...never giving up power. Usually killing lots of people who might get in their way. Often with full support of backers in the US government.

But surely this time it's different!

Microsoft seems to be casual about trusting CAs, isn't transparent in their inclusion decisions, and their trust store is quite large. Any reasonable website would only use a certificate trusted by a quorum of browsers (especially Chrome), so the benefit of the extraneous CAs seems low.

I'm not a Windows user, but I have to wonder if there's a way to use the Chrome trust store on Windows/Edge. I can't imagine trusting Microsoft's list.

In general, systems with this attitude (that rights are conditional on the goodness of the subject) wind up with a criminal at the top putting people they disagree with in jail.

That said, those effects manifest in the long run. In the short run, choosing autocratic simplicity is rational. It’s just that it explains why some systems yo-yo between corrupt autocracy and weak populism with islands of stability in between—getting liberal democracy to work takes patience and skill.

Which means it doesn't block...

Blocking means the call itself doesn't return until there's data available. This is a completely non-blocking API. Which is fine, it's just very wrongly named in that case.

But that also means I don't really know why there's both "non-blocking" and "blocking" variants at that point if blocking isn't an option at all in the first place.
I never said there weren't tradeoffs, just that RSCs enable greater functionality than before, such that one can "have their cake and eat it too," but it's not meant to mean that there are only two cakes in this entire analogical universe. Other frameworks (ie, cakes) have their own tradeoffs.
You’re missing the point being made in this thread, which is that there might be subtle long-term impairments to the genetic condition described in the OP.

Indeed the article discusses this thoroughly, noting that since it’s a very small sample you can’t rule out anything but very strongly negative fitness impact.

There’s simply not enough data to rule out the hypothesis that folks with this condition are slightly sleep-deprived vs their theoretical without-mutation genotype baseline.

Disappearing means no paper trail.

These are mass arrests. Also problematic. But closer to a martial strategy than a civil one. But when you’re the murder capital of the world, maybe that’s merited.
> See for example shoplifters who just take things off a shelf and walk out knowing no one will stop them because the law says you can’t go fuck them up.

I never understood how some parts of US just allow that. I live in a country where we have very poor property protection laws, and police still gets routinely called for underage kids stealing chocolates, actually comes, and a whole procedure is done, including parents, a judge, etc.

Influenced by movies, I always assumed that a shopkeeper in US would just do the cowboy thing (I know i'm exaggerating a bit) and take out the gun and make the thief put the stuff back, or worse. Watching videos of whole gangs of people just coming inside a store, filling their baskets/carts and leaving while noone does anything seemed so surreal. In a rich country, you'd expect property to be protected, but it doesn't seem so. Even in some of the poorest countries in the world, something like this wouldn't happen, because even random people in the street would go out of their way to stop (and beat) a thief, and the police wouldn't be arresting a passerby for tripping an escaping thief or tackling them to the ground, but would focus on the thief.

I mean sure... allowing people to steal offsets the "social security" from the government to retailers, but the safety issue remains.

I studied with some very cool people. One joined my consultancy, and the other won a million dollars in a machine learning competition before we graduated.

Unfortunately, yeah, we were all removed from the workforce in a conventional sense almost immediately. I run my own business and most of our clients are American, my co-founder became an executive within four years, and the last guy went into private consulting for the mining industry.

I know of a local business with a great engineering culture, and they told me that they've run forty in-person interviews to fill a single slot in the past. And their team is really overloaded with Americans that immigrated to Australia for non-career reasons.

To be fair, criminals in El Salvador weren’t getting off on legal technicalities. They were never seeing a court due to police corruption. Bukele had to be extreme because he had to sidestep the police-justice system. That leaves federal police and the military, coarse tools.
Gee, I dunno, maybe any of a thousand different materials/chemical reactions to absorb heat? Yeah, I didn't say water. Maybe you just have the dump pool be a bunch of molten thorium or even solidfied thorium salt and that also plummets the neutron economy as the neutrons get absorbed by thorium as the hot uranium salt melts the thorium salts. Maybe you keep the thorium salts liquid.

But fundamentally since the nuclear fuel is a liquid, the cooling pool is very wide and shallow, separating the fuel well past sustained nuclear fission. This is the problem with solid rods, they go runaway, the fuel is a solid rod, you can't separate apart the fuel without shoving some moderator into it. Yeah I don't know the viscosity of Uranium tetrafluoride, maybe that's a problem, but I doubt it.

Why does the plug only melt past some point of no return? The plug can melt at whatever temperature point is desired. A "meltdown" can just be part of the usual fuel flow and recirculation.

The difference is that the liquid spread because, you know it is a liquid. In liquid form? Rather than a solid form or some semi-solid uranium lava. See the difference? What am I missing here?

In the dump pool, it will cool into solid salts. Then you just need to reheat it to recover the fuel, and pass it back through the salt reprocessing systems.

Plus I thought LFTRs have some mechanism for self-moderation by expansion of the fluid when it gets hot, separating the fuel apart and reducing neutron economy.

You seem stuck in the limitations of solid fuel rods, solid fuel reactors, and their inherent inconvenience. Yeah, the liquid is 650 degrees or something like that, but it's still liquid and you can do things with liquids that you can't do with solid rods

> Why do a non-zero amount of people have seemingly religious beliefs about this topic on one side or the other?

Because lots of engineers are being told by managers "Why aren't we using that tool?" and a bunch of engineers are stuck saying "Because it doesn't actually work." aka "Google is lying through their teeth." to which the response is "Oh, so you know better than Google?" to which the reponse is "Yeah, actually, I fucking do. Now piss off and let me finish timing closure this goddamn block that is already 6 weeks late."

Now can you understand why this is a bit contentious?

Marketing "exaggerations" from authority can cause huge amounts of grief.

In my little corner of the world, I had to sit and defend against the lies that a startup with famous designers were putting out about power consumption while we were designing similar chips in the space. I had to go toe to toe with Senior VPs over it and I had to stand my ground and defend my team who analyzed things dead on. All this occurred in spite of the fact that they had no silicon. In addition, I knew the famous designers involved would happily lie straight to your face having worked with them before and having been lied straight to my face and having had to clean up the mess when they left the company.

To be fair, it is also the only time I have had a Senior VP remember the kerfuffle and apologize when said startup finally delivered silicon and not only were the real numbers not what they claimed they weren't even close to the ones we were getting.
"Windows users deserve better!" As if Microsoft cares about their users. But this is clearly negligent behavior and open to lawsuits..hopefully.
A wild tangent but reading “heritable metabolizing” really hit me on the “are viruses alive” question.

I’ve been around enough biotech to have considered the differences between plasmids and viruses versus archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. I’ve always considered “heritable change” as the base definition of “life”. As in, “life” is progeny resemble their parent(s)? Or “heritable change”.

“Heritable metabolizing” quite nicely captures that difference between the levels of single molecule “life” and singular/multicellular “life”.

Apologies for the random aside, it was just one of those random “I have a vague idea of why mitochondria are important, but I don’t see them as fundamental” parts of my “What is life?” definition being refined.
We've been floating the idea of giving everyone on the team Wednesdays off, fully paid, to read non-technical material while they're benched. We haven't done it yet because I pay rent and am worried that maybe we aren't good enough at sales to generate that much surplus... but deep down, I think it'll make a smarter team and that'll pay for itself.

And the only reason that it's non-technical material is that it's just assumed that people are reading every other day, and we thought a break into psychology/fiction/whatever would keep the brain well-oiled.
I thought this was an interesting read.

Key takeaways:

1. Spending a career building computer software around others who build software, influences your worldview.

2. Programming is a skill (like any kind of craftsmanship or performance art); you learn by doing, not just by reading.

> I was astonished to learn that Ford no longer sells sedans (Fusions) of any kind

It has been a very long time for Ford now. I was heartbroken when they discontinued the Fiesta/Focus ST/RS trims in the US, those were peak car models for me.

Story: when I was buying my Fiesta ST I did all the usual dealership prep tactics to avoid getting overcharged. I researched the dealership cost and all that jazz, and told the salesperson I have that much + a few hundred bucks which seemed a fair offer. They immediately accepted it and got me out the door with that car within the hour; I got the sense they were not selling well even back then.

How the hell would you verify an AI-generated silicon design?

Like, for a CPU, you want to be sure it behaves properly for the given inputs. Anyone remember that floating point error in, was it Pentium IIs or Pentium IIIs?

I mean, I guess if the chip is designed for AI, and AIs are inherently nonguaranteed output/responses, then the AI chip design being nonguaranteed isn't any difference in nonguarantees.

The British GPO746 is another classic model in this category. Just like UK Mellor-style traffic lights, the design was licensed to multiple manufacturers each of whom had their own quirks. This should be labelled as a nerd cognitohazard — once you know, you are at risk of trying to collect one of each type and then compare them (phones and traffic lights)!

I too have had little luck getting my hardware to activate the phone’s chimes but that at least led me to another fun quirk. The cabling for the phone has named wires that corresponded to the original switchboard connectors, which looked like enormous headphone jacks. They had two contacts: one at the tip of the plug and one for the collar that sits around the plug behind the tip, separated by insulation. The collar is ring shaped so this part of the circuit is called the ring connection.

Whoever dreamt that naming scheme up? It would be like calling the dial — where you set in the number you wanted to dial with you hand — the hand-set! Or calling a mute button the ear-peace!

I don't find the argument to be undermined by this. From my perspective, his strong statements against React read as deliberately lacking in nuance just like the conventional wisdom of "just use React and don't think too hard about it". It's a deliberate overvorrection away from the status quo. There can be room for nuance once the default assumption has been shaken.

I get why people are offended or find it unhelpful. If you read through his Reckoning series, I hope you'll understand some of the righteous anger he has for organisations that fail to serve the user, even when public service is their explicit purpose.

In my experience, it’s easy to set up. But it’s extremely configurable in all the wrong ways and quite difficult to configure in the ways that one might actually want to configure. And the front end is not fantastic IMO: event filtering is extremely weak and scrubbing is bizarre.
