That's a great point and I'm not sure why the memory usage/performance didn't come to mind when writing this.

It's probably because, like most JVM related things, it fits into the "good enough" bracket. Most things running in the JVM are definitely
not on the forefront of either CPU or memory performance.

I haven't done personal estimates, but your 200 mb + 2*x estimate feels in line to what I'd expect when compared to "memory-tight" languages.
You have touched upon something important here. I have spent the last six months thinking about the role of disclaimers in how written text is perceived. Disclaimers, those seemingly innocuous statements meant to protect the author from liability or misinterpretation, often have the unintended consequence of undermining the credibility and impact of the work itself. By preemptively acknowledging potential flaws or limitations, authors can inadvertently signal a lack of confidence in their own arguments. This can lead readers to question the validity of the information presented, even if the disclaimer itself is minor or irrelevant to the core message.

The very act of issuing a disclaimer can create a sense of distrust. It suggests that the author anticipates skepticism or potential backlash, raising questions about their motives and the integrity of their work. This is particularly problematic in academic settings, where disclaimers can undermine the authority and rigor of research findings. While acknowledging limitations is crucial for responsible scholarship, the way these limitations are framed can significantly impact how the research is received and interpreted. A carefully worded disclaimer can acknowledge potential weaknesses without undermining the overall strength of the argument, while a poorly constructed one can create unnecessary barriers to engagement and understanding.

For this reason, I created Craft Your Disclaimer, an AI-powered service to help creators craft disclaimers tailored to their goals and audience preferences. You can register for free at: CraftYourDisclaimerOrSomeOtherBS.ai
Still good enough for me.

I keep hearing this about Twitter and Facebook but my experience is completely different. I believe the default experience is as you describe, but after I started following dozens of retrogaming groups, old games are all I see in both places. Even the ads became relevant and, believe it or not, interesting. I've clicked on a couple, which took me to small creators in the retrogaming and RPG areas.
Honestly my largest feedback is what does it integrate with? Present this on the homepage instantly. The documentation doesn't cover it, and clicking "+ database" has me sign up.

I'd summarize and simplify your "What to do" by simply saying: Be curious but not annoying.

We have an extremely background (3x Founder/CTO + A bunch of other things). The largest issue I would find with new hires is simply a lack of curiosity and a desire to "perfect" everything without an appreciation for "why". It comes across as extremely arrogant and ignorant, and even more so when the individual becomes frustrated when they're not given free reign to implement their suggestions.

Ah, right, then maybe I didn't see the point after all. Nextcloud handles this quite well though, I think, it will say, on the phone, that there is a conflict between the two versions of the file, and in case of images, it ever shows them side by side, and asks you what to do.

I was the CSE 403 TA in charge of this project last quarter, and while I don't have the full context of how the site developed after the quarter ended and the token request, hearing this I am genuinely baffled and do not understand in the slightest what the UW has found a violation in and the legality of their actions. From my heavy experience with the site, it was developed completely independently from the UW registration system and did not even include any UW-specific information. I don't understand how they could request you take it down. If you need help in advocating for yourself or testimony, please let me know. I can also get in contact with the professor from your quarter. From the information I currently have, this seems like an insane and incomprehensible violation of justice, and I'd fight to overturn it.

I would say that DEI has sucked a huge amount of oxygen out of the room on accessibility. It's all out of the same budget, but as you can see, most people don't think of accessibility when they think of DEI, they think of race, gender and sexuality.

And out of those, accessibility is the one that has actual measurable metrics and requires expensive technical skill and compromises with non-accessible functions to implement well. Everything else on the list is PR work.

Equality and Equity are vastly different things.

If a program treats people equally, that's a good thing. If you want equal outcomes (regardless of many very real factors), that by definition will require unequal treatment.
That sounds incredibly patronizing. For some people, just being comfortable and happy for the remainder of their brief miserable life is meaning enough.
The big issue with public health is that everything is dangerous and people will only comply with so many rules and society will only work towards so many goals.

Public health decided dietary fat was the big problem to focus on, despite imperfect evidence. Three things screwed this all up:

* Dietary fat wasn't nearly as bad as everyone thought, because eating lots of fats was correlated with lots of other negative lifestyle choices.
* It looks like dietary sugar was actually worse than the evidence of the time said.
* Policymakers didn't understand that an emphasis on reducing fats would cause food chemists and others to add more sugars and salt to food to make it more palatable.

In the end, we need to go where the evidence points. The earlier evidence that was hopelessly confounded was much more clear that fats and salt are universally bad; later evidence painted a much more ambiguous picture. It is so dang hard to measure what actually happens in real populations.

> With sugar we kids were taught all the usual facts at school: rotting teeth, getting fat and the risk of diabetes,

And the last we only have evidence of in the past couple of years, and it's relatively weak evidence.

> but perhaps what made those facts sink in and last a lifetime was that as the same time we were taught the heroic story of how Charles Best and Frederick Banting separated insulin in 1922 and immediately saved lives. This history was even more poignant to us as one our classmates had type-1 diabetes and it was obvious to all that he wouldn't be alive but for them. Both facts sharpened our minds about the dangers of high sugar intake.

Well, sugar intake isn't a risk factor or cause of type 1 diabetes.

About 5 years ago, I made a comment on that platform which went something like "Americans are arrogant" (can't remember the exact words anymore). Within minutes, I received a warning and a strike against my account for violating community safety guidelines.

Was what I said really that harmful? Especially given the fact that America is the dominant leading global superpower, the one in the privileged position, and one that people criticize openly all the time? This experience really soured me on AI-powered content moderation and the obsession with polite speech. (Maybe that's what drives people to use sarcasm and euphemisms as cover, perhaps like saying "Americans are unbelievably humble people". See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_recommendation#Langu... .)

To make matters worse, as I browsed the site and saw comments I deemed vile coming from other people - ones against certain groups of people, ones threatening physical harm - I used the report/flag function and exactly zero out of my ~20 reports ever resulted in action against that user. I feel like the system has the power to punish me but not others.

SpaceX may have revenue from government contracts but they built Starlink of their own accord, not for any government agency. The funding came from private investment (VC) and their own revenue, a significant fraction of which is commercial launches.

There are plenty engineering consulting firms. In fact, I'd go so far as to say all engineering firms are consulting firms except the ones that are a department within a larger construction or manufacturing company.

Consulting is when you're hired to advise someone else on a task, right? I'm not sure what service an outside engineer offers except consulting services.
CO2 is already used in many fire extinguishers, especially in industrial settings for class B and C fires. And we trust the average person with huge containers of explosive propane.

More is possible than you think, but obviously it comes with a lot of caveats because of the danger potential. But as a professional firefighting tool, "no potential" is a pessimistic take IMO.

Fire roads are often used as firebreaks, and in SoCal many follow the ridges of mountains. This is really the ideal case for CO2 that I envision, as the cold CO2 released from a compressed container will flow downhill into an evacuated area and smother the fire attempting to cross the ridge. Curious if you believe the current state of the art cannot be improved upon.

The tarps would have to be huge and ideally quite thin, hence why I wondered if modern materials science was up to the task. An advantage is that they could preserve foliage while still creating a firebreak, but again, mostly a materials science question. Probably infeasible, but just spitballing.

That's very much not what the Starlink-proponents are, loudly, proclaiming. Because, satellite-peer-to-peer stuff, Elon-magic in general, and whatever.

Please note: I think that Starlink is mostly space pollution, and that offering meaningful Internet connectivity to Africa, or rural America, or anywhere mostly involves 'lots of fiber', some radio, and lots of cooperation.

But: "just get your Starlink dish and be done" is definitely an Internet Truth, and it's Wrong, and I think it's worth Pointing Out.

I agree with you.

If this is the case and money is speech, can a well-intentioned organization just collect donations to advance their message? Like when Philip Morris uses this to sell cigarettes to kids we say that is bad. But what if the EFF used it to ensure net neutrality? Or if Planned Parenthood used it to add reproductive rights to the bill of rights?

Do my donations already pay for social media campaigns?

I’m reminded of a 2000s interview I watched with Hideo Kojima, a famous video game director. Kojima’s well-known for being influenced by western cinema, and in the interview he expressed that this is more common for people his age. He said he felt younger Japanese people tended to be more interested in Japan’s domestic media.

Maybe this is also a result of China being more developed and having a domestic market for its culture? Or, like, twenty years ago, I could imagine a lot of foreign media just had bigger budgets and writing, but today that’s less of the case.

Seems like it would really slow you down though if you adopt it too early. Sometimes you don't even know if the thing you want to do is possible.

My development style is:

- prototype ideas in a quick and dirty dynamic typed language just to gain confidence it's going to work (a lot of ideas die here)

- rewrite in a more performant and safe language with a "type checker and a smattering of unit tests" (usually here I'm "done" and have moved onto the next idea/task. If there's an issue I fix it and add another test case)

I'm trying to imagine where formal verification comes in. I'm imagining something like:

- prototype ideas in a quick and dirty dynamic typed language just to gain confidence it's going to work (a lot of ideas die here)

- Formally model the requirements

- rewrite in a language that can be formally verified and which is hopefully performant and lets me do things like simd and/or cuda if needed

- Never have to fix a bug unless there was a bug in the requirements (?)

To me, it just seems like it would take an order of magnitude longer to develop things this way for not much benefit (I've traded development time and potentially runtime performance in exchange for correctness)

> in part because of the "political landscape,"

People really should be more explicit about this. The "political landscape" here is the desire to pay fealty to an incoming administration in hopes of currying favor. American culture didn't drastically change. Trump got 3 million more votes in 2024 than he got in 2020 which is largely in line with overall population growth. That 3 million also amounts to less than 1% of the US population. If that causes you to drastically change your opinion of the culture of this country, you weren't paying very much attention beforehand. The only thing that markedly changed was who is going to be leading the government and thereby the regulators that Meta wants to butter up. That is all Meta is doing with these recent moves.
