You completely missed the point.

The point - are any of those folks that lead the small sat revolution running successful farms now?

No.

It's hubris to think that one skillset subsumes another just because one uses the other.

The food those sat folks eat whole developing said revolution- growm by farmers, so they are the onea that enabled the sat revolution. We can do this all day.

Back when I could actually DM journalists on Twitter about errors in articles they would sometimes tell me that editors introduced the errors without their knowledge.

For example, an article would mention a county in the US and the editor would add information with county population and state. But the editor would mistake the county for one with the same name in completely different state.
One of the best pieces of lore at my employer came courtesy of our "free food" slack channel. It was customary, after catered meetings, to post the location of any leftovers so the vultures could come by and enjoy a free second lunch.

Until.

Until the "cool intern" noticed food outside a conference room shortly after noon and posted it on the free food channel. Hordes of people came by to avail themselves of the food, leaving a horrified meeting organizer to fight them off while trying to post a rebuttal on slack saying that the food was NOT, in fact, available for the taking, the attendees hadn't had a lunch break yet, pleading with people to stop taking their food, etc.

I think you miss a critical fact:

They absolutely understand that. They also see money/power as a finite resource and absolutely do not want any new competition to emerge via anything that could be created or funded by anything they do not control.
The problem with any remote arrangement is that you have to trust Apple that the server side is running all that stuff. Their answer to that is "you can audit us", but I don't see how that would prevent them from switching things in between audits.

As far as local processing goes, though, you're also still fundamentally trusting Apple that the OS binaries you get from them do what they say they do. Since they have all the signing keys, they could easily push an iOS update that extracts all the local data and pushes it to some server somewhere.

Now, I don't think that either of these scenarios is likely to happen if it's down to Apple by itself - they don't really gain anything from doing so. But they could be compelled by a government large and important enough that they can't just pull out. For example, if US demanded such a thing (like it already did in the past), and the executive made a concerted push to force it.

Jevon's paradox is not some universal law. It's not even clear if it applies very often. One has to separate out different reasons for increasing consumption of some resource as it gets cheaper, and not just observe a correlation and infer causation.
Berkson’s paradox is also real.
If food gets 10x cheaper I'm sure I'll eat 10x as many calories! /s
A restaurant that has more money can afford more rent. A restaurant that doesn't have more money can't afford it. So, everything else being equal, better restaurants, making more money, are more likely to rent places that cost more since. Seems pretty straight forward.

it's no different than saying people with higher income, overall, rent/buy housing that costs more.

> to make connections a human, with more limited scope, might miss.

I have a concern, that all this AI stuff is giving less time to "fuck around and find out" (i.e. experimentation). Just like how shifting from compiled languages leads to less time thinking about the code or reading docs while things are compiling. Sometimes you just need to walk away from the desk to solve a problem. It's kinda ironic, that reducing blocking aspects creates more. But the reason walking away from the desk works is because your creative part needs time to think and imagine. It's why you play with your lab equipment or make fun programs to learn. But if everything is focused on only going to the product then you end up straying away from that.

Scott Galloway has spoken well about this, I think. In pursuing toxic masculinity we sort of orbital nuked our culture of masculinity as it pertains to men. (Particularly straight men.)

At the same time, we have multiple elements socially stunting our youth, from the Meta-TikTok addiction complex to gambling for kids to the lockdowns.

At the same time, our economy is creating a very visible chasm between the lower and upper classes. If you're stuck in that crevasse, the aforementioned lack of role models and social ineptitude can hurt in heartbreaking ways. In some, that leads to depression. In others, anger.

You're certainly right in some cases, though I do think its a mix of truths.

Some of them do realize the actual situation and are ladder pulling, but mixed in with that there's also a pervasive offshoot of hyper narcissistic survivorship bias that in my experience a lot of modern tech entrepreneurs suffer from where they really are actually shockingly blind to the build-up of everything that they then built on.

Lua without JIT is one of the fastest interpreted languages. In fact it might just be the fastest. LuaJIT is also one of the most advanced JIT compilers out there, frequently beating V8 and others.

There are very valid complaints about Lua. It lacks useful quality of life features. Some of its design decisions grate on users coming from other languages. Its standard library is barebones verging on anemic, and its ecosystem of libraries does not make up for it.

But after using Lua in many places for well over a decade, I’ve gotta say, this is the first time I’ve heard someone claim it’s slow. Even without JIT, just interpreter to interpreter, it’s consistently 5-10x faster than similar languages like Python or Ruby. Maybe you’re comparing it to AOT systems languages like C and C++? That’s obviously not fair. But if you put LuaJIT head to head with AOT systems languages you’ll find it’s within an order of magnitude, just like all the other high quality JITs.
How I know I'm working with a strong engineer
Googles initial technological success was due to the design assumption individual systems were never reliable, and should fail back gracefully. It was and still is considered a safe assumption...

Indeed, on average 52% of all IT projects at any firm end up failing, or were never used as designed. What exactly does a glorified marketing company have to do with successful OS design? The internal Android OS they planned to replace Linux with was canceled too. "All software is terrible, but some of it is useful" =3

Most of that early work sourced "the good images" from air survey photographs.

Early tech leaders (ERMapper, LizardTech, famously fought it out over "infinite" image formats with "unlimited" resolution) in Earth resource mapping that integrated air, sat, geophysical, etc. data absolutely had significant members that came from farming families and retired to farm ownership.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LizardTech,_Inc._v._Earth_Reso....

"Running a successful farm" has a high business and tech element these days, and certainly did in the 1980s, growing ever since.

There are overlapping skillsets here, it's entirely possible to be able to fly a cropduster or drape lowlevel air survey lines, higher photographic runs, and understand, run, and own a farm, and have some mathematical and programming chops.

Unsurprisingly a number of those pioneers had overlapping skills.
I think a lot of EROEI calculations have clearly refuted this.

Summary: Wind power contributes significantly to scenarios where EROI remains above the "net energy cliff" (typically around 10). While exact EROI values for wind alone aren’t isolated in the paper, the system-level EROI for high-renewable scenarios (including wind) ranges from 10 to over 20, depending on factors like transition speed and enabling technologies (e.g., storage or grid upgrades). Wind’s individual EROI is implied to be high and competitive, aligning with earlier studies showing operational wind EROI values of 19-30+.

> We’ve long pondered why the marriage rate, and the corresponding birth rate, has plummeted in America. Answers often focus on financial stressors: Young Americans can’t afford a home like their parents could at their age, some speculate; others blame limited parental leave or poor day-care options.

> Perhaps — but the corresponding slump in close friendships doesn’t add up. People can still afford to make friends, can’t they?

Again, this is some ivory tower kind of nonsense. Of course if you can't afford to host people (no space), if you can't bond with other parents because you cannot be a parent, if you can't afford to leave your kids (with daycare or a carer) to socialize, how the hell are you supposed to invest the time in close friendships? And also, not being able to afford to invest in friendship makes total sense to affect the working class.

I see this a lot, especially among more junior programmers. I think it likely stems from insecurity with taking responsibility for making decisions that could be wrong. It makes sense, but I can’t help but feel it is failing to take responsibility for the decisions that are the job of engineering. Engineering is ultimately about choosing the appropriate tradeoffs for a specific situation. If there was a universally “best” solution or easy rule to follow, they wouldn’t need any engineers.

"Should be" how?

SQLite is a lean and clean tool, it's very much a candidate for being inserted into all manner of contexts.

What beggars belief is the overly complicated, inefficient, rats nests of trendy software that developers actually string together to get things done, totally unaware of how they are implemented or meant to work.

By comparison using SQLite outside of its "blessed (by who?) use cases" is very practical.

Although, it would be much crepier than hearing some tones.

you have to trust Apple that the server side is running all that stuff

Remote attestation should be proving to the client that the server is running the expected firmware and PCC software hashes, https://security.apple.com/documentation/private-cloud-compu.... Apple has released (some? all?) source for PCC software on the server, https://github.com/apple/security-pcc

> When a user’s device sends an inference request to Private Cloud Compute, the request is sent end-to-end encrypted to the specific PCC nodes needed for the request. The PCC nodes share a public key and an attestation — cryptographic proof of key ownership and measurements of the software running on the PCC node — with the user’s device, and the user’s device compares these measurements against a public, append-only ledger of PCC software releases.
