Late but it is not something I look forward to. I probably have more Russian friends and ex-colleagues than most people, although that doesn't prevent me from being extremely clear about the situation being caused by russia.

I'd much rather take advantage of Russia stabilizing and becoming a major trade partner to Europe.

That was my original motivation for trying to learn Russian 20-30 years ago.

(Trying to understand where the misunderstanding come from and I am starting to wonder if I misuse the expression "take advantage of". I've always thought there was a difference between "taking advantage of <someone>" which I thought was always bad and "taking advantage of <something>" which I thought could be good or bad depending on the situation.

If I have misunderstood, then apologies for the confusion.
Got me. Hey what are you doing here?
Haven't had a migraine with visual auras since giving up alcohol fwiw. My friend's dad specializes in headache treatment he said majority is dehydration which would add up for my case but interesting to see a comment below where someone gets them from too much water so I guess having the correct water balance is key.
That’s why the current administration is going to make sure the other side doesn’t get in power again.
Alternatively, woke means being alert to a variety of systems that have developed to keep one group in power/control over another (where the groups vary with context).

It's not so much reductive and juvenile as Wizard of Oz exposing the man-behind-the-curtain. Without being able to see clearly, it's not possible to change things to benefit more people.
This article largely misses the cargo culty things developers do in practice - like massively overcomplicating their infrastructure using kubernetes and message busses when they've no real need.

There is a large Venn space here with RDD, résumé driven development.
True, but if you always keep a pair of adjacent pointers where before you would have kept just the first, efficient deletion and insertion come back. (You could even go the whole hog and encapsulate this pair as a new WidePointer type, with operator++() and operator--() internally operating on both, etc.)

This will likely be a small constant factor slower for some operations, of course, but if you need bidi traversal and node values are small compared to pointers, it's a solid space savings -- and the lower cache utilisation resulting from that savings may even make it a speed win overall.
Remember that gravity falls off in strength with the square of distance. The gravitational field around such a black hole would be immensely strong and absolutely miniscule. The event horizon would be the size of a few atoms.

Locally, the black hole would swallow any atoms it comes into contact with and would probably scatter nearby molecules, but that's it. It'd pass straight through you.
I can say the same thing about my basement fission reactor.
Is it really blow back if the public demanded that all politicians be able to get away with it instead of just the Clintons?
Would such "tiny" black holes be stable? I'm thinking Hawking radiation, or indeed the opposite, growing without bounds.

If they are, are they considered as possible "particles" for dark matter? I guess that's what MACHOs are? And won't interact electromagnetically, only really by gravity.
Something being asked in earnest does not mean it should be evaluated in earnest.

Sorry, the 70% generic capacity was information from bad sources. But currently I personally still consider the battery as too high risk for an used EV vehicle that does not have warranty left. 85%-90% seems to be closer to reality among all brands.

The issue is that we don't have actually that much data available to say anything for sure for the newest cars. Variance is too high for battery failures: https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-do-ev-batter...

> Yep, hate my scheduled pre-heated, defrosted car that’s fully charged every morning at 1/5th of the price per mile and does all the journeys I need. Wish I was spending 5x to stand at a pump once a week. Totally useless.

This is kinda too big generalization. Not everyone has access to heated garage nor charging station with personal electric plan.

I've written about this before, but I too gave up on my Daylight - even though I truly love what they are trying to accomplish.

I found it:

- oddly heavy, the Daylight is made of all plastic (body & screen) - yet it’s heavier than an iPad Air made from metal & glass.

- handwriting lag, the input lags when I use the pen is so much that it distracts me while writing a sentence. I have to concentrate to ensure it’s keeping up with each letter I write. No such lag exists with my iPad Air.

- no setup instructions or tutorial on its unique gestures. You boot it up and have to figure out how it works and getting it on WiFi

- display resolution is much worse than I was expecting.

- when using chrome, webpages render incredibly small. I’m having to constantly zoom in. There’s a setting in chrome about “desktop mode” but it made no difference.

And I also wasn’t expecting to have to sign up for a Google account to even get Daylight OS/software updates. (Maybe I don’t but that’s what the Google App Store made it seem like).

Wish I had read this review before I had bought it.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/20/24201356/daylight-compute...

* Note: I truly love the idea of Daylight, and I hope they succeed. But in my mind, a considerable device improvement needs to be made to realize that vision.

Until then, I’ll revert back to using my iPad Air (and now with nano-texture coming more broadly across Apple lines, Daylight is going to have that much more to overcome - because Apple is also cheaper product).
Right now people have to point their phone cameras at at the thing they're photographing or recording, it's a very clear visual signal to others and there are cultural norms for this behavior. If a person is doing this in a common tourist destination that's more acceptable than pointing your camera at somebody else's children without asking them first. Imagine how uncomfortable it would be for somebody to hold their phone at eye level and point it at you the entire time they're having a conversation with you, even if they say they're not recording or anything like that. Having a distaste for smart glasses is pretty consistent with the status quo.
You look at the bad actors (in this case and others) and see how much money or equivalent they're getting out of their work. My general view is that it's much less than you could obtain with a PhD and similar effort applied to other fields.
You mean fortunately? Because that's the only correct answer.
Well, it is a democracy, the key being that the majority of people voted for some law. Whether you'd want to live in the country is a different story. Sometimes, democracies are not always the best form of government, they are as susceptible to systemic issues as any other form of government.
Besides being funny this paper also has some points - for example we know that no human has yet died due to a PBH passing through their body, but they very likely would had one passed through them. So that's sort of evidence against their existence. Although the estimated number (estimated towards the end of the paper) of such events per year would be utterly small anyways.
The price thing is probably a cognitive bias but not really the story thing.

People go to a bar for a good time. If you took the time to tell them a story about a wine, they probably had a good time hearing about that and were willing to pay to continue participating in that story.

I'm laughing that you're citing your philosophy degree and seem to have missed the boat about people searching for meaning in their life, jumping straight to cognitive biases (which aren't even a philosophical subject).
I don't know that "normal" mountain biking is any worse than cycling in general, or sports like tackle football.

A lot of the injury risk when mountain biking is reasonably easily mitigated by controlling your speed and walking the bike through terrain that's above your skill level. There was a report out of British Columbia a few months ago about injury rates, and they were high, but BC is also a major downhill trail region.

Certainly, compared to road cycling, I know more people with major injuries from being hit by cars than from crashing solo on a mountain bike. And for my own cycling injuries - a few concussions, the worst of which was on the road bike (during a race) and a few torn rotator cuffs/mild AC joint separations.
The only factor that explained the variation was the success of the project. More successful projects spent less time writing initial code relative to time in maintenance. Failed projects spent a great portion on writing code.

Again, the obvious implication is that if your project is a failure, you sink less time into maintaining it. The only way to reduce the maintenance burden is to not have users. There is some not-so-subtle self-sabotage going on here.

It's difficult to figure out causality in these cases. Did the project fail because of inadequate investment in engineering foundations? Or did we deprioritize work on it because we knew it wasn't going to take off? Likely both, working in a negative feedback loop.
One neat feature is you can use Grok on any tweet, its helped me find context to obscure tweets many times over, very quickly.
No? I’ve been mountain biking for over 20 years and never any broken bones or had to go to hospital as a result, despite doing downhill, trials, and dirt jumping. And I have 20 years of fitness to show for it - that’s about as positive as it gets.

the speed is way faster. I am a good programmer with more than 25 years of professional experience. The AI is a better programmer in every way. Why do it myself when i can outsource it and play cookie clicker?

The real thing that sold me is the entire workflow takes 10 minutes to plan, and then 10-15 minutes to execute (let's say a python script of medium complexity). after a solid ~20-30 min I am largely done. no debugging necessary.

it would have taken me an hour or two to do the same script.

this means i can spend a lot more time with the fam, hacking on more things, and messing about.

One thing which comes to mind is - why should we stop at sports, then? we'll immediately be at the point where smokers, alcoholics, obese people etc. should pay more, after all, their way of life statistically causes higher costs.

(i don't think either of those things should result in higher insurance prices, just continuing the thought.)
I mean considered per patient. Pro wrestler Kerry von Erich had to get his broken foot amputated because he thought it felt good enough to walk across the room to get a cheeseburger. Not everyone can gauge these things on their own, especially considering people with broken bones may be taking pain killers. Not everyone can have professionals, or even loved ones, around them to monitor it.
The problem with software estimation is that the requirements change constantly because customers often don't know what they want until they see a prototype or a mock of the system. Then, you constantly get unspecified, subtle requirements in endless emails starting with "I would also like to ...", without the customer realizing what they are asking for and how that might effect the deadlines.
That is true. But maybe it is so embarrassing that he doesn't want it minimally distributed. To his kids, allies etc. Or maybe there is no kompromat and he just really likes Putin.
That was informative. I always thought it was a company founded on the principle of expressing disdain for a certain korean auto manufacturer.......
A bit laughable to accuse someone of being misinformed and them point them at a bullshit machine for answers.

You might want to consider reading/learning from some primary sources instead of basing your entire perception of reality on hallucinations from chatbots and Fox News.
I dunno, it makes sense that the federal branch that manages interest rates is independent of the president. Didn't we have a whole thing where Trump couldn't force rate increases or decreases back in 2020? Do we really want Trump to declare interest rate changes via tweeting or whatever?

What about things like drug approvals? I don't want Trump to ban certain drugs just because they didn't donate to his campaign. I don't want Trump to approve Elon Musk's brain chips just because Musk told him to.

What is AX (Agent Experience) and how to improve it
For the past couple of years, I've been obsessed with DX (Developer Experience).

In fact, the reason why Resend exists is because of how poor the developer experience was for sending emails.

Now, we're entering a new era, an era in which AX (Agent Experience) is just as important.

AX doesn't replace DX, it extends it.

I would recommend “Chip War” by Chris Miller. It’s not for learning tech skills, but provides an approachable history of the semiconductor industry from WWII to the present day AI boom. I think it provides good insights into how governments think about investment into the global semiconductor supply chain.

The mindset that you can master any programming language in a month is exactly what I meant in my previous post. There's a veritable cottage industry of "golang pitfalls" blog posts out there that show there are absolutely a lot of footguns in Go.

For example, what do you think the following should print?

values := []int{4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42}
for value := range values {
fmt.Println(value)
}

I don't think there are very many people who would guess the integers 0 to 5.

I also like the following one:

ch := make(chan int)
ch <- 1
fmt.Println(<-ch)

What would this print? The only correct answer is sadly "fatal error: all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!".

Golang is a fine language and simpler than most, but sadly "simpler" is not the same as "simple".
Looks like they would have cost hundreds of thousands (or you could lease for a few grand a month). Back in the 60s... Might as well have been a billion zillion dollars.
Trump made it quite clear that he was going to dole out tariffs like Oprah giving away cars. This wasn't hidden, they specifically voted for higher prices.
Yea - i have had OK luck with the architect mode. but was using that as part of this (using deepseek for reasoning) and it good. but oh so slow.

> Mercury is a common by-product of gold mining, a growing industry in several southern countries. The toxic metal accumulates as it moves up the food chain by binding with amino acids in animals and then infiltrating their central nervous systems, where it can inhibit neural growth. Tracking mercury exposure is crucial for monitoring an ecosystem—but merely sampling rocks, ice or soil for its presence tells little about how much is actually entering the food web.

The puzzle design in Grim Fandango really isn't anything to write home about, and if that's the only reason you play adventure games, you're going to be disappointed. But the characters, writing, art, and sheer style are all so good that it makes up for it in my opinion.

Grim Fandango is probably even better now, since you can easily look up solutions to some of the more frustrating puzzles. The remastered version is also very good, changing just enough to make it play well on modern systems, without fundamentally altering the experience.

The gravitational field would be enormous: 1,000–500,000 times Earth gravity, at one meter's distance, for the range of PBH masses this paper mentions. That's balanced out by the relative speed being a brisk 200 km/s, so the interaction time would be short (microseconds). Still a pretty significant momentum impulse if one flew by.
We do, sprinkled throughout the year. Or sessions see ~20-24 people and last about 14 hours.
I think that lead would be a bad material to use, considering a baby's propensity to put everything within reach into their mouths starting at a couple of months of age when they can start reaching. When they start teething they will inevitably start chewing on the soft metal.

“Paragraphs of text” in a back and forth on Slack probably does mean time to have a call. It’s an anti pattern imo.

I think it's a general principle across all of software engineering that, when given the choice, fewer disparate locations in the codebase need to have correlated changes.
