Totally wrong take. President Kennedy picked the goal of landing a man on the Moon for the reason that this was a goal which Soviets couldn't achieve first by out-smarting or out-tricking America: it was defined by size and complexity of the systems to be created, it required vast industrial power, lots of brute force thrown at the problem. No workarounds could help. Soviet Union was poor and could not afford it.

N1-L3 failed because it tried to rely on tricks to avoid investing enough resources into proper stuff: for example, they could not afford a test stand to test the entire massive first stage, it could only be tested by launching. Engines themselves were one-off, so they couldn't be tested, after starting once they had to be trashed. Easy to see why this never worked.

The landing scheme itself was incredibly risky and as now known, will most likely result in cosmonaut stranded on the Moon, because same engine was to be used for both landing and takeoff and Apollo LM's landing engines received considerable damage from lunar dust and rocks thrown back into it due to the gases they produced when firing - which wasn't a problem because those engines were no longer used after the landing was achieved - but same thing meant a cosmonaut would be stuck and dead on the Moon. In a way Soviets were lucky their rocket never worked, that saved them from a much bigger embarrassment which they wouldn't be able to hide.

I’m interested to see how things progress! rustc itself is still reliant on llvm and ld, but there’s some intriguing alternatives coming in cranelift and wild both written in rust themselves, and I think done in a way that would allow incremental compilation and linking to be done in a way that better suits rust.
Is it me or does this sound like a Project Manager and not a Product Manager? Where is the discussion and negotiation with customers and engineering teams on specs/targets/requirements? Where is the roadmap alignment with strategy and marketing teams? Where is the discussion with research teams on future features? Product managers don't babysit engineering teams on their deliverables. Calling someone doing the work listed on the grandparents post a product manager does not make them one.

Indeed, the commercial infrastructure in Goa has been developing with robust demand across retail and office spaces. Commercial Flats For Sale In Goa have sensible returns. Investment in commercial flats in this lively place secures income rental as well as protects long-term investment value.
I'd guess that a microwave would "waste" more energy as it's got moving parts and the energy isn't completely directed to heating the water. A kettle also "wastes" some energy as you end up heating the kettle too (from the hot water).

If a microwave was more efficient, I'd expect to see premium kettles that used microwaves instead of a simple heating element, though maybe there'd be design problems with preventing leaking microwaves.

I agree, but I think this also forms part of the solution: try to always ask the AI to create things which are easy to verify.
Use select() or epoll() or kqueue() to see if your socket is ready for reading. That way you can monitor your global variable too. That’s the correct way to do it.

If you have multiple threads, you start one just to mind signals.

Signal handlers are extremely limited in what they can do, that’s the point. They are analogous to hardware interrupt handlers.
Interesting, mind giving couple of examples? For myself I cannot say I have problems with focusing by using Windows OS - it's my daily driver over the years.

>You gain nothing by spreading "your" genes; your genes, however, may use you as a vehicle to spread themselves.

Getting philosophical here, but what does it even mean for me to "gain something", given that my entire existence is a conglomeration of mostly-cooperating genes trying to spread themselves, and my values, desires, and outlook on life are heavily controlled by said genes? Spreading my genes is the intrinsic value, from which all my other instrumental values like eating tasty food, making good friends, enjoying sex etc are derived.

Man, we are talking politicians here. Trump wants protectionism, border control, lower corporate taxes, less environmental and other regulations that makes doing business more difficult. Those are just a few clear policies he campaigned on.

Meanwhile Kamala avoided being specific on about any topic. She acted dumb and reverted to "but you remember what Trump said" at any point that required her to take a position. If you think Trump is painful to watch Kamala is unbearable, she was the definition of a politician playing dumb. Seriously her attitude .

>>Dems campaigned on reducing inflation

Did they? Reducing inflation requires increasing interest rates or removing trade bareers with cheaper manufacturers like China. Has Kamala supported any policy like that?
"develops predispositions and behaviors"

Can't you take 'predisposition' to be a little more hardline, and that it removes all 'choice'. We are so 'predisposed' by biology/chemistry that animals, and humans, don't have any agency of choice, no free will to calculate anything.
As the article says, animals are not automatons, despite our tendency to see them as so. Maybe they do it for similar reasons why we adopt pets? Biologically, it doesn't make sense to keep a modified wolf in my house competing for my resources either.

While I’m curious of this design, can someone tell me why my cafelat robot is inferior? It’s performed for years with zero maintenance and minimal cleaning. It pulls excellent shots. It takes up minimal counter space. The only downside I can think of is it’s not ergonomic - disabled or less strong individuals may not be comfortable with its physical operation. But short of that … it’s perfect. It is my peak coffee optimization (not one narrow measure of perfection). What am I missing?
Great work on the product design. The website, while very pretty, can be a bit disorienting. I agree with some of the suggestions about pushing a video so that users can see it in action and finding more ways to get them to the shop page. There's only a single shop button at the top. What's missing is likely header navigation.

I had the same take and I think it's unfortunate that people feel the need to downvote this. If you could inspire great art by questionnaires I'm pretty sure it would have caught on. In fact I think it's the deviation from and challenges to expectation that is necessary (but not sufficient) for great art.

I'd be curious to see what would happen if you gave those same questionnaires directly to artists. I'd speculate you may get more variation than the masses, but probably still a surprising amount of overall homogeneity as well due to the constraining and limited nature of the questions themselves.
Magnus may be better player than Gukesh, but the reason he is not defending WC title is not because Gukesh or any opponent is not good enough, but because it takes too much freaking preparation to defend WC title and he doesn't think it is worth the effort.

A completely unprepared Magnus vs a 100% prepared opponent will go to a better prepared opponent (See Magnus interviews if you don't believe this). 4-6 months spending memorizing lines is not easy. It is too much work. Magnus has already proven he is GOAT, he doesn't have to prove anything.

But - this doesn't take away achievement from other players, if Magnus doesn't want to be bothered doing all the prep.I wonder if we will say the same thing in any other sport.

Ma Long for example - did not participated in Paris Olympic singles, does that mean Fan Zedong or Truls moregard achievement was any less? Nobody would say that.

No mention of usability/accessibility in the interior/architecture section, and barely a mention of regulation and cost. But it's expensive and difficult to come up with an interior/architecture which is user friendly and accessible, while conforming to regulations written in blood. So of course people with finite money are going to copy and paste existing designs. Doorways, corridors, corners, inclines, bathrooms, etc safe and fit for small children, the elderly, the visually impaired, people in wheelchairs, and so on. Items positioned so that inhabitants/users/visitors/customers can use their intuition to navigate the space, rather than having to ask someone all the time. It should be expected and natural to reuse.

On a related note, I suspect a lot of people these days assume that most "alternative" things are unusual for the sake of being unusual, and not actually some stroke of genius. Not saying they are always right, but there's certainly a lot of alt-crap out there.
>Maybe the market is telling us that we don't need so many cuisines. Think about it: There are probably 100+ distinct cuisines in the world. How many people have tried every single one? How many people have gotten tired of a substantial fraction of that 100+, and are seeking further novelty? Probably not very many.

Japan is notorious for protecting and marketing regional/local cuisine nationwide and they're quite successful at it.

Hell, they've succeeded at making global food vendors sell Japan-only food (all them wild Kit-Kats, Christmas KFC, etc.).

The question isn't posed on the consumers, it's posed on the suppliers. Do the suppliers want to preserve their way of eating or not?

I do use the T25 keyboard on my T480. Is it nice? Oh hell yes. Was it worth the time and expense? Absolutely not, unless you are a serious keyboard nerd and have more money than sense. Which I did, at the time.

That's like saying that the billions of people on the planet are mostly worthless because you're not going to meet every single one of them.

Local culture doesn't exist to satisfy some "market" or as a sort of collectathon for well-off travelers seeking novelty through fake "authentic culture", it's about the way of life of sppecific people living in specific areas.

The blog post also talks about how privacy is preserved in more concrete terms:

> These four steps are powered entirely by Claude, not by human analysts. This is part of our privacy-first design of Clio, with multiple layers to create “defense in depth.” For example, Claude is instructed to extract relevant information from conversations while omitting private details. We also have a minimum threshold for the number of unique users or conversations, so that low-frequency topics (which might be specific to individuals) aren’t inadvertently exposed. As a final check, Claude verifies that cluster summaries don’t contain any overly specific or identifying information before they’re displayed to the human user.
It just seems strange to me that you realize you will regularly encounter something and then just not know it is strange to me.

Knowing common constants like the square root of 2 is 1.414, square root of 3 is 1.732, e is 2.718, etc isn't about the difficulty in looking them up it's about not needing to derail your thoughts by looking them up.
Sure there is. Breathing in the air has a safe standard of .15 micrograms of lead per cubic meter. [https://www.epa.gov/lead-air-pollution/national-ambient-air-....].

A typical person seems to
breath between 8-9 cubic meters of air per day. So 1.2-1.3 micrograms of lead per day via oral inhalation seems perfectly fine per the EPA.

And the body does excrete lead, just slowly.

Yeah it seems the same for music, with the provisio of a perfect music discovery service somehow existing.

If it did exist, there likely would be little genuine demand for anything beyond the top million most popular works that have already been produced in the preceding 100 years.

And probably close to zero demand for beyond the top 10 million plus maybe the top half million historic pre-1924 works.

There is common misconception among engineers about agile.

Agile is for reducing bunch of implementation docs. Your heavily crafted implementation docs will be gabage since implementation can be changed easily. However, we still need to define requirements and specs so that we won't create things no one want.
There is a tendency to call something an evolutionary puzzle if some behavior is not optimal, and so elaborate, and often quite clever, possible explanations for why it's secretly optimal are devised.

But it's a mistake to think that non-optimal phenotypes require special explanations, when the obvious one is at hand: the optimal solution hasn't been found yet. In this case, the mechanisms that ensure that young are cared for are simply being triggered or activated by situations it wasn't "designed for", and nothing has evolved to prevent that from happening because it's an infrequent occurrence in the first place (and perhaps because any solution to it would be more expensive that it's worth?).

Life works with what its got, and natural selection (and other forms of selection) are not explanations, they're frameworks, models of a type of process. Actual explanations involve actual causal chains with actual stuff in the world.
At the limit, you can make Result<T,E> very cheap: with a specifically designed ABI you just need a bit in the flags register and a single (predictable) conditional jump on the return path (see for example the Herbceptions papers).

At the limit limit, there is no difference between Result<T,E> and checked exceptions, with enough syntactic sugar they can be equivalent both semantically and syntactically [1].

[1] One advantage of typical C++ exceptions implementations, is that if the exception is not caught the stack is not unwound and the stack trace is preserved in the core file. In principle the same thing could be done for Result.
But it seemed all worth it at the time, right?

We had multi CPU stuff in the 90s. C/C++ was dead set on ignoring it for a long time. Every OS had its own way of handling it and all with subtle weird bits that did not act like other OS's. You could not even trust the stdlib or crt to get it right with their globals that could change underneath you.

So it was left to the developer. It is much better now but for so long the problem was ignored and now we have decades of 'not sure if I can touch that code'. Also by default C/C++ are fairly open about sharing memory. So it is very easy create race conditions on memory. It would be nice if the base language had a concept of 'locked to a thread' or 'i want to share this with other threads' then the compiler can flag where I have wandered into the weeds for a class so we could catch the race conditions at compile time, at least some sort of warning.

Sharing semantics were awful for a long time. stdlib has done some very good things to help clean that up but it is still very easy to share between threads and cause yourself a headache.
Nobody is actually doing the calculations, the decisions are arrived at from what evolution has built into us, hard wired based on what has worked in order to get us here.

I'd say it's a totally wrong take, but for a different reason. As a Cold War Kid, the reason I'd always heard for America's win was the Soviets were using base 3 computers while the US was using base 2. The base 3 systems gave the Soviets an early edge - they simply had greater computing power early on. That's the reason given for why the Soviets had so many firsts. The US achieved more computing power via the invention of the transistor and the miniaturization that enabled. The base 3 systems could not be miniaturized and so the Soviets had to start over from scratch. This gave the US the edge later on and so the US won the race to the moon in the end.

Could be a Cold War myth, but that's the story I've heard for the past 45 or so years.
