IME, simple labor farms (that you get paid actual money for, anyway...) are hard to find in the US because of like, worker protections. Are there any entry-level jobs besides CS that can be done with essentially no thought or reasoning whatsoever? I'm not asking this to be insulting, I'm saying there is a type of person who could be good at that type of CS but doesn't have the skill, attention, or energy to do much of anything more. Those people still deserve a way to be useful to the world, I think.

I keep seeing cashiers replaced by self-checkout machines at stores, fast food jobs might be too complicated for certain people (like me - I couldn't do it), places like say the Apple Genius Bar require you to know what you're doing, etc. Maybe I'm super naive and first-world by missing something super obvious, but if I am then maybe I could learn something today.

You say this as if it's somehow an obvious thing that... we clearly need RabbitMQ on spacecraft?
Protein A binds to DNA at a specific spot near Gene B and allows the cell to make more Protein B (which is the product of Gene B). Protein B then binds near Gene A and prevents Protein A from being produced. This causes oscillations as the genes A and B activate and repress each other. The details are quite a bit more complex, but that's the basic idea. You can get very complex circuits that implement very interesting and useful behavior. Imagine engineering an immune cell so that it only attacks cancer cells displaying certain proteins on it. More generally, an insanely complex web of interactions between genes and proteins and other chemicals governs the development of all multicellular organisms.
The (sub)topic is lead, though. If lead is still being used in plastic water bottles, then I'm with you, that's just nuts.

Obviously water bottles should be made from plastics that don't leach anything harmful into the water when left in a hot car. To the extent they do, it should be easy to come up with specific arguments to prohibit specific substances. Just blaming "plastics" in general is a category error, since not all plastics are proven to be harmful in this regard.
If you're american just perform a global replace of "VAT" with "sales tax" and move on. VAT is a bit better than a sales tax because businesses get to "deduct", logically, the tax they pay on goods they buy (mostly) from the sales tax they collect from their customers.
My favourite solution was in the 2006 ipcc report for recommendations for carbon storage and one is liquifying it and dumping it in the Mariana Trench. Where it would stay for up to 300 years. The best part is that they plainly say it will simply be someone else’s problem so that’s a reason that could go in the pro column of deciding to do this or not haha.

Respectfully, I disagree, though maybe we haven’t yet articulated enough details to know exactly where we disagree.

I think underlying Kent’s statement is an observation that is undeniably true. The closer a test is to the actual way the software will be used, the better it is in a number of ways, _all else being equal_. All else is never fully equal, which is why everything is about tradeoffs.

But when a test aligns with how the software will be used, there are a whole bunch of synergies and benefits. Simplicity increases, clarity increases, you start getting multiple payoffs for each bit of effort you invest.

I’m sure people cargo cult it and lose track of the tradeoffs, like anything else, but there’s a solid point under there. And I agree with him, it is valuable enough to be called a “best practice.”

It can be used that way, but not always. In fact, traditionally your way is the less common usage.

A path of breadcrumbs leads to the gingerbread house, despite the house not existing because of the path (or a road leading to a house, to get away from witches).

Unless you mean that in medical research it's universally agreed to only use it in that way? I'm sceptical that's the case but could be convinced...

(Either way, "lead to" obviously isn't at all clear enough if they did intend to mean "points towards, without causation".)
It’s being discussed so that people don’t believe this is actually rational.

1.) We do no TTS of our own. We either use the original transcripts uploaded manually by the YouTuber or we use the auto-generated ones supplied by Google.

Ok, I see now. This is limited to cases when compiler can prove that the reference is not shared, but still can be useful when adding elements to collections.
Cheap. Less than $10/GB and since we only scrape metadata and transcripts, the traffic usage is low.
They were wrong for us. Cloudflare is in a much different position than we were in 2019 trying to get people to write new Javascript. Clearly, for us, running people's existing applications natively was the better call. We're not dunking on Cloudflare's model.
I understand your worries as they were one of my reasons to join these government organized briefings.

It seems very unlikely that such a lib in itself has any cyber security risk as long as it itself does not query an external database through a network connection.

The users of the lib have to asses that it has no security risk.

Did you sign any formal agreement with the users of the lib? Is there still any obligsation on your side with respect to the lib?

If you would discover some security issue, like a buffer overrun, would you fix it? Then just mentioning it, would be enough. The users of the lib bear the greatest responsibility. They have to regularly check your lib for security problems.
Yeah, but Geary St. is close to downtown in a fairly large city. At that point, you can argue about whether you'd still want to own a car for casual trips outside the city. But you could survive without one.

But I can't walk anywhere from where I live (well, except down to the river in the woods) and there's no real transit system at all. If I couldn't drive, I'd have to relocate.
Yeah kinda. The article is right, core issue is no ability to reclaim production-side VAT costs like EU competitors can because of how taxes work in the US. My position is the EU should bend a little and help the US out here by either lowering their tariffs to match ours (2.5%) or creating a special mechanism for US companies to reclaim production costs similar to how EU companies can reclaim VAT. It's unreasonable to expect the US to completely restructure its entire tax system just to get 'equal' treatment, especially when we're supposed to be close trading partners. The current system effectively punishes us for having a different tax structure than the EU prefers.

Exception handling in non trivial code is more performant than all the if else sequences to handle errors - if you even handle errors which odds are you won't.

but it needs to be in the language so that the tricky code is write once.

You are right; I was mistaken. TSX is the usual shorthand for Toronto Stock Exchange, not TSE.
Hardcoded loop bounds are a requirement for running on hardware that will not be 100% reliable due to operating in the space radiation environment. Paranoid levels of defensive programming are a requirement for this regime. I would trust NASA's experience here rather than an armchair expert.
Fun fact (which is a fact but not fun at all): every org that has SharePoint has enormous critical/sensitive data all over the place. Anything from trade secrets, future plans, passwords, personal data, etc. So compromising 'one account' means that someone can start roaming on the intranet, start searching for keywords ('password:', 'passport ID', 'home address', 'home number', 'driver's license', etc.) and will collect all the data they need for further attacks.
I use ai “voraciously” coding every day. Even the best models are not very good. I found that if something is hard to do it’s because it’s not documented properly, and therefore it’s not in the data anyway so the model can’t out, just guess. If it is documented properly then I don’t need its help so much.

I barely get 1 line of code that I’d actually ship unchanged. It’s really useful but still has a long way to go
> There's no such thing as a net zero society with our current technology, period.

That's not quite true. All the technology is here, just not yet deployed.

> Anyone seen an electric tractor lately?

Biofuels exists. Even now, we have enough biomass to produce replacement fuel for agriculture, long-distance trucking, and rail transport. We just waste it on mostly useless ethanol.

Aircraft will switch to SAF (synthetic fuel). Right now, manufacturers are working on adapting and certifying engines to use 100% SAF and the work is expected to be completed around 2030.

Historically, the right limit for a loop around a spin lock/CAS was related to the effective time cost of a context switch (taking into account both the register save/restore and TLB flush). This is not a fixed number across all hardware but it is knowable upper bound.
They use drum brakes because drum brakes are protected better from the environment while brake discs are not and will quickly get covered in rust and dirt when not used for awhile and then be less effective when they are actually needed for an emergency braking situation.

We only ever really went to disc brakes because they were slightly cheaper and easier to manufacture and since racing vehicles used disc brakes (because they benefit from the extra cooling capacity that commuters don't need) it was easy to convince customers that they were "better" and they became standard.

There was also a time when they didn't figure out traction control very well using brake drums while they did manage it with brake discs, but part of that could be just because brake drums were out of fashion in racing where traction and stability control were invented and implemented first and nobody bothered improving drum brakes to take advantage of that tech until decades later.

Now that EV drivers can go weeks without touching their actual brakes and just rely on regen braking, disc brakes have become a liability since they aren't worn down smooth and cleaned whenever someone stops at the end of their driveway.

It doesn't even have to be ads. The people who run it have their own ideological sense of right and wrong. And no matter what you think of their moral stance so far, there's nothing to prevent them from changing their values in the future. If you rely on them to think, you're also letting them cordon off certain kinds of thoughts.
> If I make two ford fiestas, one in the US and one in Germany and they are otherwise identical--identical labor costs, identical shipping costs, etc etc--do I have to sell each ford fiesta in germany at a different cost to the consumer (so including all taxes levied on the consumer) for me to make the same profit on each fiesta?

No. In both cases, the German consumer is paying the VAT on top of whatever net price you set, and that VAT goes to the German state.
Alright, maybe "article" was a poor word choice? Thanks for an example of of what happens when you link to their site from here, I was just curious to read into the drama, it sounds like an interesting story from a pocket of the internet I'm not familiar with.

More like VAT is a sales tax, by a different name. Regardless of the name, the buyer should pay the same amount of tax whether they buy domestic or from abroad. If VAT wasn't paid when buying from abroad, it would unfairly disadvantage domestic suppliers.

(I'm not an accountant, but as far as I know, the same VAT deductions for businesses apply whether they buy from an EU country or from a non-EU country, which your example doesn't take into account.)
Fun fact: Nordic countries use week numbers for all sorts of planning, e.g. vacation period, school events, company planning, statistics reporting, ...

> While BEVs have a lot of benefits, they are still objectively inferior to ICE vehicles.

There are multiple dimensions in which they differ. Cost, reliability, emissions, safety, convenience, driving enjoyment, etc. To compare them and say one is better overall than the other requires you to define the weight that you place on each of those factors.

Many of those weights are subjective. Some people value convenience a lot. Some people don't. Some people passionately love driving a stick shift, and some people hate driving. Some people believe climate change is the most important issue of our time, and some people don't care if the planet is trashed as long as it doesn't happen within their own lifetimes.

Since the weights are subjective, it is a logical impossibility for one of them to be objectively inferior or superior.
"I was just doing my job."
Wrong, wrong, wrong. When the good passes from one country to the next, the vat from the first country is given back - as if it was bought tax-free - and the VAT of the country you're in applies.

Before the EU common market, you used to be able to do that VAT refund even for your own purchases as a private person on vacation - you can still, for example between the EU and Switzerland. It was even translating to tax-free vacation shopping because they weren't interested in collection taxes below a certain value.

Unfortunately, Eshell does not have job control. Quoting from <https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/eshell.h...>:

> A command invocation followed by an ampersand (&) will be run in the background. Eshell has no job control, so you can not suspend or background the current process, or bring a background process into the foreground. That said, background processes invoked from Eshell can be controlled the same way as any other background process in Emacs.

For things like this, we would have to switch to something like M-x shell or even M-x ansi-term. In Emacs, we have an assortment of shells and terminal implementations. As a long time Emacs user, I know when to use which, so it does not bother me. However, I can imagine how this might feel cumbersome for newer Emacs users.

In fact, this is one of the reasons I think your project is fantastic. It offers some of the Eshell-like experience, and more, to non-Emacs users, which is very compelling!

A rare feeling in modern times.
As it stands such projects are net negative.

Currently the largest global carbon capture project in practice is little more than green washing, it's a large Australasian LNG field that will pump back a tiny percentage of the CO2 released by the projects outputs.

The required scale of carbon capture to offset our current annual consumption is huge, we extract on the order of a cubic mile of oil per annum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Cubic_Mile_of_Oil
the buildout and the additional energy required to address that is at the scale of the existing oil industry with no profit to be had.

Depends what you're trying to do, of course. But if your goal is to scale solving a single problem across many comouters, you need an interconnect that can keep up with your CPUs and RAM. Which means preferrably > 40 Gbps, and then you need those PCIe lanes. 100 Gbps is getting close to affordable these days; in fact dirt cheap if you're willing to mess with weird stuff like OmniPath.
Google was like that in the early days. In a decade, datasets of authentic texts will be goldmines, carefully guarded and exploited. From those goldmines numerous AI slop-machines will be creating the derivative product: a mixture of 1% gold, 49% filler sugar and 50% ads poison. Obtaining authentic texts will be similar in difficulty to obtaining pure gold bars.
>My country of Smugistan solved playoff problem years ago. Very simple: every Smugball team makes playoffs.

Not that I disagree with the intent/target of your sarcasm, but there are US leagues where every team makes the playoffs. The Pac-12 did this with its conference tournament for most of its history, for example. One can argue that such is the logical conclusion of separately rewarding the winner of the regular season and tournament.
Wow interesting, which country/juridiction? Seems pretty extreme
It's simple but it's a lot of busywork. This can be expensive for companies with a lot of purchases as the tax authorities demand a copy of every invoice regardless of the size of the transaction.

Other than the volume of paperwork involved, the actual technical aspects of VAT are far simpler than sales tax, as most countries only have a handful of VAT rates.
Reverse charge only moves vat collection from seller to buyer, so seller doesn't have to deal with 27 tax agencies and buyer only deals with their tax agency.
Nope! I get massively depression triggered by stuff like this.

Don’t they have voting CPUs? If one goes out of sync discard that result and restart it.

And wouldn’t the value end up on the CPU the same if it was hardcoded or not?

Perhaps there could be some verification done with hardcoded loop bounds for making sure things work in real time. I’ll read the article before commenting further. Edit: Yeah, the hardcoded bounds is to give some sort of guarantee as to how long a function will take.
They are required to collect VAT, but they are also incentivized to collect it and not do funny things like having a "broken" payment terminal.
But the actual net VAT charged is the same as if I used native materials, so the imports are at no disadvantage to native sales. So it is not a tariff.
