I can say for myself that seeing the wars have had a detrimental impact on my life & faith in humanity. Hearing people try to justify a genocide makes me completely checkout. The algorithms also don't help when you keep seeing kids & families decimated constantly on your reddit, instagram & x feed with genocide drones. I'm convinced that we are living in one of the most regrettable times in our century.
This is really nice. Gels with a lot of thoughts I've been having the last year. Kudos. :)
Our own bodies are ships of Theseus. I've read once that every atom in our bodies are replaced in 40 years. In 40 years, our bodies change a lot and so are our minds. What make Theseus' ship the ship of Theseus, is that Theseus is the owner of the ship. Ownership is a social convention, a construction of the mind.

What makes Notre Dame, is that people generally agree it is still Notre Dame. If hypothetically we were in a time of modernism craze, and that our government decided to rebuilt it in some modern style (there actually was proposals like that), it would still be the people who makes it Notre Dame de Paris or not.
Why would they? They can just steam-roll across all freely available western Syria until they encounter Israeli forces coming from south, and then roll across eastern Syria until United States starts dropping bombs on them, at which point they will likely stop and start thinking about more permanent borders.
It was a restoration, not a grand re-imagination. When works of art (like a painting in a museum) are damaged, they restore them to their previous state.
I'm puzzled why this comment is getting downvoted. Does Martin have any data or statistics to back up his claim? No. Is his assessment based on personal experience in building a startup? Also no. So what's left? This blog post constitutes an uninformed opinion, and uninformed opinions are worthless.
At that age, it's rather simple. Do whatever it takes to get the foot in the door at a FAANG company. Take whatever RSUs they award you and put them in the bank for 10 years. Get promoted, play the game and after ten or fifteen years, collect all the RSU's you've built up, cash them in and then retire somewhere cheap building out personal projects for the rest of your days to keep yourself engaged and learning (on your own dime).
It is a bit surreal to read people cheering for islamist head choppers who overthrew a secular government. Remember this 10 years from now when these same head choppers blow something up in NYC. The fundamental invariant of governance stands undefeated: religious head choppers, whether they are on "our side" or not, are always worse in the long run than the secular governments. See the "freedom fighter" Osama Bin Laden for a particularly vivid example.
Philosophy is written to inform your world view, video games are made for your entertainment. I think if you are a going to base your world view on any video game it is going to be quite concerning. For example if you take Super Mario as your world view you might start consuming shrooms, jumping on enemies heads, and lighting them on fire
What you describe are two different speeds at which AI/AGI goes through Gartner's hype cycle.

An interesting question is: why do we need hype cycles? Both in general, and what's peculiar about AI and AGI... most ideas don't go through multiple hype cycles. Wasn't one "AI Winter" enough?

Tech hype is a always a kind of hyper-stition, it aims to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. So, tech hype is directed mostly toward those that can decide to invest in tech development to make it fulfill its bright future vision, achieve its destiny.

But with AI/AGI, I think it's different. The impact of tech hype on the now is as important as the bright future that this hype foretell.

AGI tech hype sells future marvels of productivity to the employers and executives,
it creates fear for employment in employees and thus it is a form of social control and curbs HR costs and demands in the present moment; and it also has socio-political function as a way for USA, and to a lesser extend to the West at large, to reassert its manifest destiny as the center of world, both in tech prowess but also in terms of cultural hegemony.

The enormous AI datacenter build up in USA creates both first-mover advantages and a first-mover disadvantages. We'll see how it plays out in the next few years.

no one can reliably predict the future so it's anyone's guess which field will be the most remunerative (if that's your aim), but my recommendation is that you narrow down your choices and pick field that you like - but not one you enjoy. the ones you enjoy should be for hobbies, things that you can do for fun or to destress/relax. not saying you cant make those into a side gig if you want but I personally wouldnt recommend it.

trust me, the last thing you want is to end up loathing your career.
I could imagine more adulteration happening as globalization goes up, because traceability gets so much more difficult.
Food safety has probably gone up over the past 30 years. But I suspect adulteration has too.
Um, did Somalia actually get much better since then ?
Why do consumers think honey is a special food deserving to spend so much money upon it? I never understand it. Also, I am no doubting this specific Forbes-hosted blog (as I call them), but reader beware. I don't think there is any editorial guidance from the main publishing house. You see all kinds of dubious crap posted on that platform! In the last year or so, HN front page now specifically distinguished blog posts from these subsites, versus the main publisher's website.
Their own pocket I'd wager.

A simple way to check if a board/CEO wants to extract a lot of future value _now_ is to look into their accounting, and especially how they count physical assets.

If they count physical assets at their current selling price, you can probably get in long-term.

If they count them at their buying prices you might have to worry.

If they do 'future accounting', tying into assets their estimated future added value, you can be sure the current owners are extracting the most they can _now_ and will try to drop the bag into futures investors (or ask for a government bailout)
Is it really a hack? Teletext also worked like this, and this service does not need interactivity, so it doesn't need 2-way communication.
I buy my honey from an old man, who parks off of Beach street, off of I-30, most saturdays. He drives a 30 year old van, falling apart, and places his goods on a plywood table.

Most of the honey is in canning jars, with a home printed label. The claim is it is sourced locally, and there are significant variations in color and taste over the year.

Is he scamming me and buying fake honey on Amazon and re-packaging it to look artisinal? Maybe. But I am convinced it is the real deal.

So, if we don't determine who rules Palestine, how do we remove the currently in power party and also any future parties if they happen to be insufficiently homegrown to our standards (the funding aspect)?

The entire conflict is that Israel believes their safety necessitates that Palestine not be sovereign because they believe a sovereign Palestine will try to take back the land it lost whether in Israel itself or the various illegal encroachments over the years. Palestine on the other hand is not going to accept Israeli sovereignty over it. And thus the conflict. However many or few foreign actors are involved doesn't change the root of the conflict.
Still a wonderful and stable solution. It has some killer features as well: unlike OM, it let's you route anything. In OM good luck routing without proper GPS fix (from a parking, etc), in Osmand you can do pretty much anything.

It's insane how feature rich Osmand is, up to a point where it became a bit too complex for some.

As sibling-comment said, no LEDs back then. They probably used soot-billowing torches, 200 years of that means the building must've looked pretty shabby already when done. So the state it currently is in is unrealistic after all.
In many countries the police will ask for bribes but they will not take all the money you have on you, there is still a distinction between the police and thieves.
My opinion is that of my ex-colleague who had to flight Syria and has some strong words about Assad.

Doomemacs was everything I wanted Neovim to be for me personally. I know it’s a big war on the web, but for some of us evil mode emacs is the easy way to use vim motions.

The only real disadvantage for me is that it’s significantly easier to run Neovim on windows (work).
Plus a lot of people who tried to pass themselves off as Syrians aren't Syrians at all.

The asylum claim processing authorities were a bit overwhelmed, but soon learned to ask questions such as "can you tell me in which city you used to live, what was the name of the mayor, what was the closest mosque/church, your address, your school" etc. Few of the fake ones could answer such probing in a satisfying way.
That could only be strange for him if he doesn't understand the structure of the war or he hasn't been following current events.

Assad was only able to take back Syria with air support from Russia, ground support from Hezbollah and re-enforcement by Iran and other Iranian aligned groups in Syria.

Russia is busy and drained of resources because of its misadventure in Ukraine, Hezbollah is reeling from it's shocking loss to Israel while Israel has been targeting Hezbollah and anything vaguely tainted by Iran in Syria for years now. Iran itself is being very careful with that it's doing after losing so much of the long-term strategic positioning it invested in.

All of that, that was what was holding back opposition. SAA couldn't have done it in the first place without that support and that support later became security while SAA had other things to do. When it was weakened, the opportunity began to exist.

My personal opinion is that it's been a while since that security actually existed and due to all of the above mentioned problems, it's been a bluff for longer than it has seemed. When the Aleppo lines collapsed, HTS figured this out and acted swiftly to take advantage of that fact. SDF and the southern front joined in when they say they were having so much success.

Taleb should know better, or not be commenting. It makes it sound like a conspiracy theory or something.
Anyway, the success of the rebels is to a degree due to drones, to which Assad's forces didn't have an answer.
That they’ve fallen behind in both fabs and processor tech is an indicator that something is deeply wrong. Boeing’s EVP of operations being on the board can’t have helped. This kind of deeply wrong smells like IBM in 1990. But without a second business line (mainframes) that generated a ton of money.
I didn't read the article and I'm sure it's full of contentious claims, but it's undeniable that the FDA has repeatedly, especially during COVID and more generally in recent years, relied on a standard of research that is lesser than what would be considered a C+ lab report in any university chemistry lab in America. Relying solely on first person citation and abandoning peer review altogether by allowing the researchers themselves to be the reviewers has worked to distance scientists from politicians and from government. The political pull and profit seeking that plagues publication inevitably destroys the public view of government, science, and authority more generally. It should be no surprise that we'd see many writings critical of all three.

All of that can be true without conspiracy. Literally anyone can lie and do it for profit all alone or with a friend. No conspiring required. Just a bit of common greed, and the knowledge that the average consumer is likely not trained in how to identify real or falsified research, and not trained in chemistry or any science for that matter, is quite enough to deceive the public.

What we need is more scientists in politics, and fewer politicians in science.
That’s a very simplistic view.

For once: you _always_ have to deal with memory hierarchy as there is no way to fit all data to the fastest memory. So you need to design with this in mind.

Secondly: the point of databases is not to implement a single specific task efficiently but:

a) provide means to maintain data so that it is easy to implement many different tasks (both current and future)

b) to safely _share_ data between various tasks/programs/users

E-golf had an updated battery in 2017, that increased the capacity by 50%. The 2014 version was sold with 200km (125mi) range, but the real range was closer to 125km (75mi). The 2017 version was sold with a 300km (185mi) range, but 190km (115mi) real range.

The range of both depend on if you drive in cold weather and if you drive on a highway. I bought and E-golf in 2017 that I drove long distance once on the highway when it was -20C (-4F). I then got around one hour of driving and one hour of charging... Do not recommend!

> replacing a secular evil government by.. jihadists in a loose coalition. WCGW?

that's what strikes me the most. All the newspapers have rebranded "ISIS" "the rebels". The headline would be otherwise "ISIS milicia takes over Syria" and somehow that's good news. I don't know who coordonates the rebranding, but clearly there is coordination, almost every newspaper in every country I checked followed it. It's a spectacular exercise in opinion manipulation.
> but it's hard to comprehend why Russia was unable to do anything at all.

Is it really? Russia literally has to rely on North Korean soldiers to continue their own "special operation" a few miles away. Their power projection ability is now zero.
Makes sense. Keeping the conversation implieas that each new message carries the whole history, again. You need to create new chats from time to time, or throttle to a different model...
How do people here think an Islamist government will be also anti-Iran? They have 99% of the same goals with Assad out of the picture.

There's a ton of other wrong in your comment (as if Hezbollah, alone, hindered Lebanon from being a functional state and not the decades of war and brutal massacres of their civilians), but let's focus on the main thing.
exactly the same as every other F500 company...
> That could only be strange for him if he doesn't understand the structure of the war or he hasn't been following current events.

Maybe he doesn't. There's nothing wrong with that. It feels surreal to me and like it came out of nowhere.

I'm also sort of frustrated that none of the coverage or comments I see go into how this happened or what lead to it. Nobody is trying to figure out or explain what's actually going on and why now.
When a woman honored the Lord with expensive perfume, it was Judas who complained about this. "Why wasn't this money given to the poor?"

Many flawed people belong to the Church. But the art of the Church does not belong to any individual. It exists to honor and glorify the Triune God from within material creation.

Religious rhetoric is the rhetoric of liberation to the people who believe in that religion. Only to outsiders does it seem different, and that's partly why they do it. For the record, I think Assad gone is a win no matter who takes over. I think democracy ultimately is better than brutal suppression, even if it means a country aligns away from my own in the process.
"how will Turkey negotiate with this facing the pkk and Kurdish nationalism?"

Aside from the coming back of ISIS, that is the major unresolved conflict potential I see.
I see no compromise, the fight between the PKK and Turkey has been too long and bloody. Best case kurdish autonomy is becoming stable and established a bit away from the turkish borders, but the SDF won't give up their weapons to Islamists, if they should become the new government. And why would they?

But I am open for miracles. Like turkey releasing Öcalan to become local president in the kurdish areas in Syria, to start a serious peace process. In the sense of - you get this land, but stop the fight for secession in Turkey. The PKK would likely take that deal.
But turkey wouldn't. Öcalan and the PKK are terrorists and that's it.
American education tends to concentrate on American history of slavery, so many American are ignorant about just how widespread slavery was/is in the Islamic world and how many Muslims until today consider it a regular institution explicitly endorsed by God.

I certainly wouldn't like to be a black manual worker in any Arab country. Even if you aren't a formally legally enslaved person, you will be treated as one.
Apply to internships to figure out what you really like. Enjoying a subject in college is very different from enjoying a job related to that subject.
More than anything this shows how terrible a shape Russia and Iran are in. A 15 year long proxy war ended with a whimper.
This is an absurd oversimplification. Turkey backs two powerful factions. Another powerful faction is one that Turkey wants to eliminate permanently. A third powerful faction is supported by the US, Jordan and others. Then you have the fact that a lot of who Turkey helped are elite salafists who would gladly go to war with them if they had the power to do so.
Assad dynasty was just a symptom of the problems in Syria.

Syria is a Sunni majority country. During the Assad dynasty Alawite minority (population 2-3 million) was the ruling ethnic class in Syria. They have their own sect of Islam (Alawism).
Alawites were stuck with Assad family even if they came from competing factions. If Assad falls, they get massacred.

The insurgents fight under the flag of Syrian National Army, backed by Turkey, but the fighting has been mostly led by jihadi group Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS).

It's surprising to me that many here in HN see Turkey as the state terrorists over the Kurds, when the main party of Kurdish independence from Turkey is a literal terrorist group who committed a terrorist attack killing innocent civilians in Turkey just over one month ago!

It feels to me that when HNers agree that a people should be sovereign (the Kurds), they ignore the terrorism. When they don't agree (the Palestinians), the terrorism takes center stage.

> Religious rhetoric is the rhetoric of liberation to the people who believe in that religion.

That's a blanket statement that's simply untrue. There are plenty of Muslims (arguably the majority) who believe religion shouldn't play a role in politics. Syrians are considered generally leaning towards secularism.

As someone that started in computing when affordable computing was all about keyboard, and mices only existed in computers with prices similar to buying a car or a mortgage, I don't get the hype of keyboard == hacker mentality.

Specially since that on my hacker circle of Demoscene, during the 16 bit days, we were mostly on Atari and Amiga systems, then we had plenty of mouse time, and no one ever stop to wonder we weren't hackers because we had mices.
And those different (or similar) views are what would be important and what I would be interested to read. Because the views of the people from that land are what matter the most during these events.
It's called TDD not UTDD.

I frequently do TDD with integration and end to end tests. The type of test should be dictated by the nature of the code, which TDD doesnt have an opinion on.

TDD is about following red-green-refactor.
AFAIK scene demos which compete for minimal size are allowed to use system libraries like D3D on Windows. From that perspective, using SDL is ok, since it can be considered a system library at least on Linux (to workaround a ton a little compatibility warts between Linux distros).
One thing possibly holding some folks back is the version of Postgres it's held back to. Right now YDB has PostgreSQL 12 comparability. Support for PG15 is under active development, so hopefully it's a 2025 feature.
