Those who complain about Wokeness most often can't see their own thorn in their eye. Peter Beinart wrote about this years ago:

> The theme of this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was “uncancel America.” But when news broke that one of the speakers, a hip hop artist named Young Pharoah, had called Judaism “a complete lie,” CPAC cancelled him. Which led Young Pharoah to denounce CPAC for practicing “cancel culture,” which just goes to show: Denouncing “cancel culture” is a lot easier than defining what it actually is.

https://peterbeinart.substack.com/p/want-to-fight-cancel-cul...

In my country an artist made songs titled "Fuck children" and "Women are whores". He was cancelled (and then cried about it). Cause it's so unfair to not book artists who jokes about raping children? Who gets to cancel who? In the real world, pro-Israel "wokeists" have gotten way more people in trouble, both on and off campuses, by calling people "anti-Semites" than left-wing "wokeists" have for complaining about usage of wrong words for "non-white" people.

Like certain washed up comedians, these people are all hypocrites. They reserve the right to offend others, but when others offend them they cry.
It is really crazy the level of knowledge that goes into production today and I don't see it going back. New grunge will re-amp in the computer if for no other reason than because software amp sims are cheaper than hardware and your settings/values are instantly perfectly recallable in a sim.

Even modern metal requires insane specific technical knowledge nowadays. Dance genres are to the point I don't even understand the differentiation (in xyz the kick drum transient click goes 'clihhhhhck' but in xyy it goes 'cllihhhhhckk').
Interesting! It seems that although the original book was not an ad at all, the 1979 movie adaptation was indeed meant to work as marketing for an upcoming chocolate.

> Cadbury and Rowntree's were England's two largest chocolate makers and they each often try to steal trade secrets by sending spies, posing as employees, into the other's factory. Because of this, both companies became highly protective of their chocolate-making processes. It was a combination of this secrecy and the elaborate, often gigantic, machines in the factory that inspired Dahl to write the story.

> Wonka Bars were created by Quaker Oats (in conjunction with the producers of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory). The movie was funded largely by Quaker Oats for the intention of promoting the soon to be released Wonka Bars. However, Quaker Oats chose not to market the bars, instead selling the brand to their manufacturer Sunline.

> Other varieties of Wonka Bars were subsequently manufactured and sold in the real world, formerly by the Willy Wonka Candy Company, a division of Nestlé. These bars were discontinued in January 2010 due to poor sales.

Didn’t see that one coming, though should have…
That comparison make sense in a world where the well being of a nation's citizens wasn't the priority of a nation.

However we live in a world where that isn't the case so a nation deciding to restrict immigration or economic activity by foreigners for the benefit of the domestic population is an acceptable position to take -- provided it actually have that desired outcome.
I don't really agree with this. There's no shortage of computing platforms in a variety of form factors (including tablets) for which root access is possible. When you buy an iPad, you do so knowing what you're getting and what you're not getting. It's a truly optional purchase, because no one really needs an iPad.

I'd be concerned with a move away from root access across the board, but that doesn't appear to be happening.
If large parts of the planet lose their digital infrastructure for months, I really don’t think that “finding a good platform to host my code” is going to be one of my biggest problems.
There's a lot of reasons why Mexican coke would taste different. Glass bottles being the way people usually drink it, higher sodium content, differences in the water, other ingredient ratios that are different, and yeah maybe a little bit about sucrose vs HFCS.

I know even US coke tastes different if you're having it out of a small glass bottle versus a 2L plastic bottle into a cup versus a can or even a can into a cup.
> These false dichotomies and unnecessarily tribalistic positions where pure devotion to free market capitalism is demanded are hobbling American society and its ability to maintain stability and take care of its citizens, since every attempt to suggest that some industries should be at least partially socialized, or even mildly regulated, are met with demagoguery and fear mongering.

The trouble here is that this is a misunderstanding of what free markets are supposed to be.

The idea of a free market is, if you have an oligopoly which is charging high margins and ripping people off, do you a) break up the cartel and restore competition in order to bring down margins, or b) impose price controls or otherwise regulate the oligopoly while leaving it intact. The premise of free markets is that you do the first one and not the second one.

The problem we have is that you often have one party saying "don't do either of them" and the other party saying "do the second one" and then the first one doesn't happen even though it's the thing you want. The premise here is free market competition, not free market monopolization.

You have a different problem with things like pollution. That isn't something markets are expected to solve, in the same way as you don't expect them to prevent theft or homicide. The problem then is, how do you solve the problem? "Have the government do it" is under-specified. The Soviet Union did not have a sterling environmental record. Outcomes and efficiency both matter, so you can't just give it to some unaccountable bureaucrats or they'll simultaneously drive up the cost of everything with red tape, fail to prevent the pollution, and get captured by incumbents who use the red tape to lock out competitors. So how do you apply competitive pressure to politicians? Maybe change the voting system, e.g. use approval/score/STAR instead of first past the post so you can have more than two viable political parties. Or stop trying to do everything federally and hand more back to the states, so we can have back the laboratories of democracy and have 50 chances to find the right balance instead of just one.
I remember being in the US, and the friendly family friends talking about how we would get their favorite pie, sound awesome, Key Lime Pie, and I love lime. I tried it and I almost fell over backyards it was basically pure sugar with a the slightest taste of lime.
For whatever reason this is what worked for me to replicate what the author was describing.
That's pretty much what they're doing. But the apartment that probably requires driving 30 minutes (or 1.5hr train) to work is worth a lot less than something in SF.

Edit: SF itself does have strict zoning. But even if everyone there wanted max density, so they tore everything down and built skyscrapers instead (ignoring the soil problem there), it's a fixed supply of land.

Snow is dirty all the time, everywhere, especially near commonly-used train lines. It’s not difficult science. Particulates, dead insects, leaves, mouse shit — all end up in snow. Scoop up a bucket of snow and melt it and I guarantee you’ll see a bunch of crap in the bottom of it.
The thing with junior engineers is that they may eventually become proper seniors and you'll play your role in it by working with them. Nobody learns anything from working with LLMs.

You can't become a senior and skip being a junior.

To be fair, you're referring to one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in Canada [1]. (It also has a massive affordability crisis despite a ban on non-student foreigners buying expensive real estate.)

Disagree with logic that most will sell. Many people will incur high tax bills (if the property appreciated) or transaction costs to move. People who bought in the 2010s have mortgage rates that don’t exist anymore. Many had a reason to live in the area to begin with.

- Many will rebuild to move back

- Some will sell their lots to investors

- Some will rebuild using insurance money to flip upon completion
The whole product feels like it’s getting g progressively jankier.

The front-end is glacial nowadays and frequently has issues actually loading the page, actions frequently has some kind of panic attack and breaks or just grinds along a glacial speeds. The UX has gotten worse (why no merge-queue button?).
this is so incredibly impressive. I find projects and the people who do this so inspiring and also deflating because while I can appreciate the work ethic and polymath skills needed for this I couldn't recreate this. I'll just have to hang back and appreciate.

Any other similar creators with this level of polish (pun intended) and interests to follow?
I am not sure if “a lot” is correct assessment. I live in urban area and most of my friends have either been fully remote before C19 or after. no one wants to move anywhere even though we could all live wherever. urban areas have numerous other advantages besides better job markets, especially if you have kids. schools, sports, theatre, etc etc.
Mostly unrelated (I agree with you, and I'm some ancestory comment you're responding to with the same line of thinking), I have built a couple LLMs where the distribution itself is stochastic. That's not key to how they work as a black box, but much like how quicksort has certain performance characteristics I did find it advantageous to introduce randomness into the model itself.

You could still easily model the next token as a conditional probability distribution though if you wanted; the computation of entropy just might be a bit spendier.
> Speaker and amplifier design are vastly better than even 15 years ago

Let's break this down into the components:

Speaker drivers: very little change

Speaker chassis design: still changing, last major change was improved computational modeling

Amplifier: Class D was the last major change, not much since

DSP: Still evolving, getting better every day

AV Receiver control boards: Standards are changing every day, whether that's new HDMI standards, new bluetooth versions, or new AirPlay/Chromecast protocols.

TL;DR: Buy old speakers and a new receiver/amp.
I dont think it's superficial. Having characters that are invisible affect your code is weird and bad.

Which is a shame, cus otherwise Python is good imo.. I feel like its creator just had a weird whitespace fetish or something.
The features/goals sound great, thank you!

These stood out for me as possibly limiting/offputting for wide general use:

- Not being able to generate files in the same directories as input files, or in multiple output directories

- Not being able to provide command line arguments to tasks, as in just

- The mandatory curly braces syntax (and to a lesser extent, smaller verbosities like mandatory `let` keyword). These seem like conveniences for the implementor rather than ideal UX.

The doc for `build` didn't seem quite complete about what can go in there (one of the examples uses a build keyword inside a build recipe ?)
Makes me wish for the good old days of git-ssb
Replying to myself here: why the heck are people assuming Ayahuasca? My comment never implied it, nor has Mullenweg mentioned it.
As a bloc, the EU should be encouraging Russians to move assets out of Russia because this reduces the tax base for the Putin regime. Do everything possible to destroy the Russian economy. Of course, this can have disruptive effects in some local areas like Cyprus.
Yeah I’m seeing some of the development but it’s mostly 5 story rather than 50, and very small total area compared to what would be possible.

The apartments are still quite expensive even an hour’s train ride away.

I'm a rock climber. There are many people out there who take wild and unnecessary risks on a regular basis for no accolades whatsoever, out in the middle of nowhere where no one can see them, and they don't tell anybody about it aftwerwards. However, if they want to do it for my entertainment that's fine too.
>common in Europe

European rail travel is mostly small-town-to-city (for commuting) and city-to-city, mostly when the cities aren't that far apart (a few hours at most).

International travel in Europe is much less common than interstate travel in the US, mostly because of the language and culture barriers, so most trips people take are in the same country. Our countries are far smaller, and the major cities of each country are far close to each other than the major cities in the US, so trains make sense.

Trains in Europe mostly replace cars, NOT planes. It's just that a lot more travel here can be done by car/train in a reasonable time.

To an average European, SFO to LAX by train would be just about bearable, depending on country and train speed. Anything much farther than that would probably be a flight.
Wokeness simply means “awake to recognize injustices”. It is a statement of empathy, of acknowledging crimes of bigotry against the powerless, of refusing to look away and ignore when hatreds are visited upon others simply because they are not a part of some random overprivileged in-group.

As in, to not intentionally sleep through, and be ignorant of, the application of evil against others.

The fact that it has become a pejorative, only highlights how inhuman and immoral and _evil_ those people who use it as a pejorative are.
> what about corporate ownership?

Homes, and real estate in general, should not be an investment vehicle. Screw those corporations.
One time I had a weekend of working in a small village about 30 minutes by train outside of Munich. I got off the plane, took a train into Munich Hbf, took another train to the village. The trains ran every 20 minutes.

"You're going to have to rent a car" is a statement about historical US development patterns and political/economic decisions, not any sort of inevitable or immutable state of nature. As such, it is subject to change. It hasn't even been a century since flying around the country was an option (and for many, not even a half century), if you need a reminder that things can and do change ...
> We have embraced freedom. We have maintained law and order. We have protected the rights of parents. We have respected our taxpayers, and we reject woke ideology. We fight the woke in the legislature. We fight the woke in the schools. We fight the woke in the corporations. We will never, ever surrender to the woke mob. Florida is where woke goes to die.

Is that not anti-woke?
Used Airport Express is pretty good if you're an Apple household.
Yes probably. I wonder if in future places that process a lot of e-waste or e-waste donations would try to access any still-functioning hard drives or smartphones (if they haven't been wiped).

I'd suggest trying Railway Empire and it's sequel. It's the closest successor I've found.
No one gets to “specify their rate”. If I could, I would specify I want $700/hour when I do independent consulting.

The drivers can decide whether a given rate is worth it to them given other alternatives like anyone else that’s the entire purpose of surge pricing to convince more people to drive when there is more demand
You ever run a double blind experiment on that or were you knowing it was US coke versus European coke?
The HF is "high fructose" and definitely means that a good portion of the glucose derived from the starch has been converted to fructose.

Pure glucose would be corn syrup, not high fructose corn syrup.
You can think this if you want.

But this is exactly what I'm talking about. You are saying that people who advocate for leaving these tents alone are "woke idiots", so "wokeness" is clearly about class politics too.
I hear about the heat in Spain/France/Italy causing a lot of deaths of elderly people.
They are advocating for decentralized tools. That’s actionable and hoping to prevent failure.

I think my point is we are losing the option to worry about it or not. There needs to be an answer with a runbook to restore services within a given window of time should we lose that vendor.
Agreed. To add to this: The article is using a rather poor comparison because it makes the assumption that all sections of a program take an equal amount of time to write.

An LLM might be able to hammer out the unit tests, boilerplate react logic, and the express backend in 5 minutes, but if it collapses on the "20%" that you need actual assistance with, then the productivity boost is significantly less than suggested.
> significant business opportunities for EU citizens willing to front an EU company for other non EU parties

I'm describing plain-vanilla incorporation or the buying of an incorporated business. No fronting.
So your point isn't so much that language policing costs a lot, it's that it doesn't provide any value. But what if it does? What if the way people talk publicly about other people does impact behavior? Do you think the social stigma attached to the n-word, and the consequential reduction in its public use, helped contribute to equal rights? What about slurs against gays, or Jews? Maybe there is some value in policing language after all?

There's a pass on the Inca Trail in Peru called "Dead Woman's Pass" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warmi_Wa%C3%B1usqa). I have to assume this is a similar warning.
I think there's a vicious cycle of cheaper to make with HFCS, consumers like to eat things that are sweet/salty/fatty, so convenient to eat and less time for consumers to cook at home in the USA, industrial scale food production in the USA also benefits from HFCS subsidies and becomes additional lobbyists for HFCS and worm their way into recommended diets and become suppliers to public school cafeteias. We are all raised on very sweet breakfast cereals (at least in my public school cafeterias) from a very young age going from K-12 and continuing through cafeterias through college and kids have traditionally been taught fruit good but not juice bad so a lot of consumption via disposable drink boxes as well for a long time - I dunno if recent generations have been able to break any of these things starting kids off on sugar in large scale way.
What drove you to the fork?
Why did i have to find this at 3AM. Thanks though.
I would say treating others good will, good faith, and sincere best efforts are my definition of respect. My guess is that if in your travels somebody informed you that not taking your shoes off at the door is a faux pas in their culture (perhaps after you accidentally committed that one), you will start taking your shoes off when you go to people’s houses there. It doesn’t have to be about “honor”—maybe that culture is just more germ-conscious. You have just learned something that helps you show respect to people there. The more cultures you encounter the more of these norms you’ll pick up on over time. I’m assuming you consider such learnings to be not overly burdensome. If so, great! We probably don’t disagree on much of substance and maybe mainly word semantics.
There's a similar system in Japan called "Daiko" in which two drivers show up in one car. One driver drives your car with you in it, and the other follows.

This involves the wages of 2 people plus car, but you could add it in your research phase.

I genuinely enjoy that many people think PC culture started with BLM and woke language and what not in the 00's-10's.

Why might certain groups be underrepresented or over-represented in the figures? Perhaps it's because for decades certain groups have not been properly prosecuted, eg the whole point of the controversy around grooming gangs.
Well, we could at least examine the idea of paying executives over a longer time horizon.

Clearly everyone likes money. We could pay them for good things rather than the transient illusion of good things.

Yes it would be imperfect. No it wouldn’t be worse than this mess. Bell Labs didn’t invent the transistor on this model, JFK didn’t send us to the moon on this model.

If India had 25% white EU members similar to Sweden having 25% migration background members (mostly from Africa or the Middle East), perhaps Indians would get a tiny bit protectionist.

The accusation that locals are reluctant to share resources is offensive at this point. There is no space and people can barely afford to pay rents.

Meanwhile there are "golden visas" to Portugal or Cyprus where rich Chinese can gain entry to the EU and buy up everything. For a token "investment" like buying stocks to the tune of EUR 1,000,000. They do not exactly build a semiconductor fab.

Again the myth that "foreigners are more productive". Where does that come from? West Germany did just fine before 1990, everything deteriorated since then.
Cruz and Graham know all too well that they will politically outlive Trump and whoever comes next.
