I remember listening to AM radio late one night in ~2002, maybe Art Bell or John Batchelor, and there was a guest talking about an experiment with, as I recall, mouse brain cells in a petri dish, with electrodes somehow connected to a flight simulator. The cells arranged themselves via some kind of feedback mechanism to takeoff and land a plane in the sim. I never bothered to check if this was some crackpot claim, or legitimate.

This falls apart a bit if providing better food costs more. Restaurants with better food may earn more revenue all else being equal but their costs may be higher. People are willing to pay more for the same quality of food in a better location. It makes sense for a the restaurant with worse food to outbid a restaurant with better food because the location is more important to them and they are allocating more money towards towards rent rather than food quality so they have more to spend.

Benjamin Rush to John Adams:
https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Adams/99-02-02-5755

Thomas Paine to George Washington:
https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-20-02-...

Another good source would be the newspapers from the time: the Philadelphia Aurora had a good for the circulation of the time, was a "respected" paper (as far as that went then), and has lots of very nasty things to say about Washington during his presidency. It (and a selection of other papers) will give you a vastly better idea of the political climate than just about anything else you can get.

You can see a wide swath of people who knew Washington thought very poorly of him, especially militarily.

> I've read the biographies of most of the founding fathers, and in none of them does anyone strike out against the great man himself.

Reading biographies is better than nothing, but they usually have an agenda. Not that say, Paine or Rush didn't, but we're talking about how Washington was view among his contemporaries and how the speech was received and understood at the time. Later works are going to be clouded with different agendas, particularly the mythologization I mentioned.

I've lived in a small island community where everyone knows each other's business, and it's not too bad. But it does take a certain type of personality to be happy with it. A lot of humans are not comfortable with everyone knowing everything about them.

And it's not everyone else knowing my business that I'm worried about. It's the government. Imagine that the UK ends up with someone like Trump in charge, and they push for a law that says "anyone criticising me or my decisions will be fined". In a world with E2E that is impossible. In the world the UK spy services want to build, this is routine. Privacy is good for democracy

Prism – One Card, Endless Rewards
Just launched the landing page & waitlist for Prism. It aggregates payment methods onto a single card and then smartly "routes" payments to the card with either the best reward or if they're all the same the cheapest fees following payment rules that the user has set. Any feedback is great and planning to launch late 2025.

I thought this was sarcasm till the last sentence. Now I'm not sure.
It's striking to me how out of touch Martin seems to be with the realities of software engineering in this transcript. Stylistic refactors that induce performance regressions, extremely long and tortured method names for three-line methods, near-total animus towards comments ... regardless of who is right/wrong about what, those takes seem like sophomoric extremism at its worst, not reasoned pragmatism that can be applied to software development in the large.

When I encounter an Uncle Bob devotee, I'm nearly always disappointed with the sheer rigidity of their approach: everything must be reduced thus, into these kind of pieces, because it is Objectively Better software design, period. Sure, standard default approaches and best practices are important things to keep in mind, but the amount of dogma displayed by folks who like Martin is really shocking and concerning.

I worry that his approach allows a certain kind of programmer to focus on like ... aesthetic, dogmatic uniformity (and the associated unproductivity of making primarily aesthetically-motivated, dogmatic changes rather than enhancements, bugfixes, or things that other coders on a project agree improves maintainability) instead of increasing their skills and familiarity with their craft.

Maintainability/appropriate factoring are subjective qualities that depend a lot on the project, the other programmers on it, and the expectations around how software engineering is done in that environment.

Pretending that's not true--that a uniform "one clean code style to rule them all" is a viable approach--does everyone involved a disservice. Seasoned engineers trying to corral complexity, new engineers in search of direction and rigor, customers waiting for engineering to ship a feature, business stakeholders confused as to why three sprints have gone by with "refactor into smaller methods" being the only deliverable--everyone.

It depends.

In a linear rates shop (i.e. not trading options), almost all of the effort goes to tuning the deterministic bit of this equation. Thousands upon thousands of lines of code to do a problem that most books don't even mention behind giving the term a symbolic name!

And then if you do trade an option it's probably good enough to use an off the shelf model to work out your delta and so on.

If you're making markets or flogging exotics and structured products then you may indeed be wrangling this stuff all the time.

The first startup I worked for had the usual free coffee, but the only food they offered was the entire salad drawer of the refrigerator filled with every candy bar imaginable. Refilled twice a day.

Within a month of us moving into that building we'd all put on about 20lbs. Every coffee break was also candy bar time. We demanded they remove them all, for our own safety.

Starlink is $349 up-front, then $120/mo. That $2400 pays back in under 2 years!

And Starlink requires a continual investment in launching new satellites to replace de-orbited ones, meaning the prices won't come down. Once that fiber is in the ground, maintenance is minimal.

RISC-V and Fedora: All Aboard
I've been interested in the history of mediumship. In China and Africa people have been channeling animal spirits for a really long time (in China, foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes and rats)

In the anglosphere it was popular from maybe 1850-1950 to channel spirits of the dead which seems like a bad idea since people can always ask you questions that their dead aunt could answer but you can't.

Seth and Edgar Cayce are examples of the modern kind of medium who channels an extraterrestrial entity of some sort. Cayce eventually ran into the problem that prophecies have a shelf life: if he was right there would have been a pole shift and quite a bit of the US would have been flooded

but it didn't happen. At least Seth didn't say anything that was falsifiable.

Young people seem to have it worse these days.
Are you sure on your timing?

Just asking coz whenever I try to talk about what computers could already do or when something was invented in the 1960s or 1970s I tend to start with "well 40 years ago..." and then I look at the calendar and notice that it's 2025 and I'm officially old now and 40 years ago was more like 60 years ago.

And my car in 2005 definitely had no such thing and it wasn't a 2005 model.

Yes it's the old people and their descendants who inherit titles from their ancestors allowing them to bypass tax payment and shovel more tax burden on productive members of society. Only in the city which has built much of the modern internet did we need to reinvent literal feudalism.

If you don't believe me. Just find some seniors in the bay and ask them. They are majority opposed to "changing" the area and taking away its "character" without realizing that the character is something they do not pay to maintain at all, and instead almost all young people (except the landed gentry) have to fund and don't agree to fund anymore.
Bezos has a rocket company. Branson used to. There's a smattering of financially troubled small-scale launch providers.

And then there's SpaceX, which is like 70% cheaper than the alternatives, wildly profitable, launched a constellation of thousands of satellites, etc., etc.

Musk likes rockets. He has technical chops. If good technical leadership is so cheap, why is SpaceX so far ahead?

I understand that the man is kind of nuts these days but we underestimate him at our own risk.

I just sub’d to Claude a few days ago to rank against extensive use of gpt-4o and o1.

So I started using this today not knowing it was even new.

One thing I noticed is when I tried uploading a PowerPoint template produced by Google slides that was 3 slides—-just to give styling and format—-the web client said I’d exceeded line limit by 1200+%.

Is that intentional?

I wanted Claude to update the deck with content I provided in markdown but it could seemingly not be done, as the line overflow error prevented submission.
I wouldn't say universally bad. I live in Seattle, and there are some restaurants on the water that I like.

The way I think about it is this: the restaurant has to pay for the real estate, and that cost must get factored in somehow. Water views aren't cheap. So you can get good food on the water, but you'll be paying for the view.

Akira Miyawaki and the Miyawaki method of forest cultivation for reforestation to fight desertification by regreening:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Miyawaki :

> Using the concept of potential natural vegetation, Miyawaki developed, tested, and refined a method of ecological engineering today known as the Miyawaki method to restore native forests from seeds of native trees on very degraded soils that were deforested and without humus. With the results of his experiments, he restored protective forests in over 1,300 sites in Japan and various tropical countries, in particular in the Pacific region[8] in the form of shelterbelts, woodlands, and woodlots, including urban, port, and industrial areas. Miyawaki demonstrated that rapid restoration of forest cover and soil was possible by using a selection of pioneer and secondary indigenous species that were densely planted and provided with mycorrhiza.

Mycorrhiza spores can be seeded into soil to support root network development.

> Don't Google Maps reviews separately measure food, "ambience" and service? Is it not possible to access the food component directly?

It's debatable whether these components can actually be segregated that way. In practice, no, every review system is plagued with reviews in the form of 'delicious food, lovely staff, but another table was too loud one star.'
I had a happy evening last July.
The difference I guess is how much you care about the facts. The man is very intelligent (or at least he was before he started doing tons of ketamine).

This is beyond reasonable dispute. Whether or not people get mad when you say it out loud is more of a reflection of them than of me.

So true. Fortunately I had my kids (well one of them anyway) recently complain to me about how their teachers "don't know anything about computers" and how they "cheated" by using actual computer software that was much better than the "mandatory to use" software on the school tablets.

Not all hope is lost.
Crypto is still in the “bank heist” era.

The tech needs surrounding infrastructure built (or plugged in) - not technical but physical. Stuff like recourse mechanisms for mistakes; courts; and prisons.

Once that’s done it’ll end up almost indistinguishable from what we already have.
It would be a bit bizarre. The US relies on the UK to do half their domestic spying for them.
> restaurants in hotels are usually mediocre to bad

This varies strongly region to region (and price level). In America and much of Europe, in most cases, yes. (Exception: tier 1 cities.)

In parts of Asia it varies from being almost rule to being a solid way to avoid great food. Put another way, go where the food-obsessed locals go. If the locals are dining at hotel restaurants, go there. If they're avoiding them for street food, do that.

On a parallel note, crappy little hotel bars are something of a delight to visit, particularly in your home town. You get to meet randos seeing your familiar through fresh eyes and for the first tie, and even if you don't meet anyone interesting, the people watching alone is usually paydirt.

> What sucks is when an AI bot hallucinates some transgression and bans you from a monopoly marketplace for life, with no human recourse. Ask me how I know.

This is fundamentally an incentive problem. Whether MegaCorp reaches this decision through an AI or a team of people who made a mistake, interpreted a rule differently than intended, missed context, whatever, they have been allowed to set up the system in a way which has all the incentives in their favor. They don’t need you and further, helping you costs them money. Yet we allow them to be the only game in town and still say it’s at their convenience to give you service.

The focus in the modern world needs to be on re-incentivizing companies to do the right things, AI or otherwise.
True. Everyone has the one thing they care about. I care about ambience. I barely notice the food.
Electricity use went up in your case, but switching from oil heat and an internal combustion car to heat pumps and an EV should mean that your overall energy use has gone down fairly significantly (down to 1/3 or 1/4 of the energy used on heating and driving).

So that's not quite the Jevons paradox unless you're going to drive three times the distance or expand to heating four times as much space in your house.
The point isn't really for these communities to be Fort Knox. It is understood that if someone really wants to get in they will get in, similar to how if someone really wants to break into your house they will do it regardless of what brand of lock you have on your front door.
