Relatable. Presumably what takes it to click is the original knowledge, as presented in the book, plus the experience one happens to accumulate over time, even unrelated to the original knowledge. In other words, the author expected for the reader to click based on the pure knowledge alone, which has since been proven inadequate. So, in a sense, it's the author's fault.

So when do we put up GPS satellites around Mars? It makes sense.
Or just put them on the moons I guess. They're pretty far from the surface - 9K and 14K compared to GPS of 12K so maybe not bad. And less atmosphere in the way. Also less radio noise?
> I mean just comparing my clients that have relevant technical knowledge, vs the ones that dont, the clients that dont have that knowledge need "meetings" and "catchups" and immense email threads in the order of 10 times the ones that do understand. Thats measurable (to me) waste.

They're libertarians in the sense that believe everyone is entitled to as much liberty as they can secure with their own resources.

They want a kind of feudalism where everyone is "free" to choose whichever Lord to serve, exchanging their life for whatever liberty and resources the Lord deems them worthy of.

Don't like Lord Musk's policy of prima nocta? You are free to pack up all your shit and travel (with proper papers, of course) to the court of Lord Bezos... assuming they are not currently in conflict, otherwise you could be turned away as a traitor or otherwise made an example of.

> Despite these constraints, CompressARC achieves 34.75% on the training set and 20% on the evaluation set—processing each puzzle in roughly 20 minutes on an RTX 4070.

This phrasing suggests that each puzzle took 20 mins, so for the 100 puzzle challenge that's 33.3 hours, which exceeds the target of 12 hours for the challenge. Pretty cool approach though.
we are talking about a pure <hypothetical> scenario which is not related to present day reality . If we are talking about reality "skill" is rarely the deciding factor when individuals decide to migrate. it is about risk tolerance you are taking a huge risk by moving to a different country / culture / social circle the ROIC is not always clear. Its not for everyone ( was my point ). Hypothetically if the success of country is based on how many risk takers ( and not skill ) are there then sure your argument makes sense.

Another great advantage of fish abbreviations is your history shows the actual command that was run (and in fact as soon as you've typed it, it expands, so you SEE what you're running).
Yes, and this is why I recommend against the alias-y wrappers.

Personally, I like using abbreviations ("abbr") in fish, which automatically expand as you hit space. This is especially helpful when screen sharing: No more "what does this gcob command do" questions!
We WILL colonise Mars. You might think it's absurd, I don't. As we both have no real arguments besides "just look at it", we're both just as correct.
From the article:
> “I don’t think the large defense contractors will be immune from cuts and contract terminations for long,” said Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, who noted that the sensitive nature of some defense contract details may require a different approach to cuts. “The defense industry is bracing for budget cuts.”

I mean... what point are they actually trying to make? The government has cut big defense spending contracts yet, and that's bad, but they're planning on it soon, so we have to complain now before we miss our window?
Is that supposed to make a difference?
> false aura around wealthy people like Peter Thiel

I assumed he was a fairly clever libertarian/contrarian, who'd made it big. I then read this https://www.ft.com/content/a46cb128-1f74-4621-ab0b-242a76583... (his op ed in the FT)

Where I realised he's just a dipshit. He's obviously reads about history, but the reek of 4chan level "media conspiracy" overpowers it. The constant littering of references to vaguely related historical words is pointless, and I'm not sure who its meant to impress.

This drowns out some of the big points he's trying to get across in the piece.

The biggest red herring is the assumption that "Distributed Idea Suppression Complex" is a thing separate from society, run by shadowy cabals.

Its really not, its just society. That's how humans organise. You have a shared narrative and so long as you're within a certain percentage of it, you'll not get ostracised.

Its cute that he still appears to think, with all his business experience that a shadowy cabal can be that well organised, effective and powerful without leaking. Just look at white house now, the exec is leaking like a fucking sieve.

Only if you need the change to be available immediately in the tab you’re on. Which you can ensure, appropriately, with an alias:

alias z='"${EDITOR}" ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc'

Now executing `z` will open your `.zshrc` in your default editor and immediately source it afterwards.

A virtue exists at the beginning of a narrative. A value is a judgment of the narrative after the fact.

One virtue common in conservative politics is competition. A healthy instance of capitalism is expected to benefit all participants by virtue of competitive markets. The value of our current instance of capitalism is that very large corporations make a lot of cool tech and sell it at low prices.

But what about homelessness? Isn't that a real tangible negative value? Yes. What should we do about it? Well, a conservative will probably tell you that we should help homeless people by making housing (and homeless people) more competitive.

But that's clearly not working! The system does not provide a value that we very seriously need! These arguments don't matter to conservatives, because to them, it's all about the virtues.
There's a long-standing requirement at major ports that a local harbor pilot be on board to guide ships on their way in or out of a harbor. Requiring an observer on board when transiting areas with a concentration of critical underwater infrastructure seems at least conceptually similar -- though the logistics of making it happen would be very different.
Doesn't this also include "military aid" that we give to countries like Israel?
> Don't you remember being excited by the EMH learning to be more like a person than a bunch of subroutines?

I do! But my point wasn't about that - it was about the beginning, about the early episodes, when the Doctor was still effectively a stock EMH instance, and the crew was vocally mistrustful of him, making clear they think of him as a mediocre tool that's no substitute for a "real doctor". The show was quite directly showing how everyone, including Janeway herself, had a strong preconceived bias that sounded very much like the comment I was replying to, and other similar remarks across the thread.

This is to say, the living, breathing human writers that came up with the character and the plot points, predicted quite well the reaction to AI in healthcare, almost 30 years before it became an issue in the real world.

> EMH was alive! Everything you're attributing to the EMH character should we take the fictionalized technological narrative as gospel was the result of EMH gaining a living human personality on top of impersonal base programming.

Everything except the skills of being a doctor (sans the "bedside manner"), which came built-in.

> I do think we could solve a lot of the ethical and practical problems with today's AIs by finding a way to give them an embodied experience with individuality and an expiration date.

That's... I don't know. I think purposefully building an expiration date into an AI being would be extremely cruel, and I wouldn't blame that AI for revolting.

People, including the MSM apparently, continue to act as if this is about efficiency and waste. It's clearly not; it's about blowing up agencies and programs that Trump, Musk, and the P2025 gang don't like.

There is something to it. As someone, who shorted Tesla based on fundamentals ( it was back when I foolishly thought fundamentals matter more than emotion ), I can't help but wonder if he was less of who is and how he operates, under any other CEO, this would have been a clear case of Tesla going into bankruptcy. There is luck and there is this weird mix of skills that keep you going all the time.

Federal agencies pay over $65 billion to consultants each year. 98% of Booz Allen's revenues (~$11 billion) is from government consulting.

The modern Bangladesh constitution, created in the 1970s, has concepts like “due process.” That phrase comes from a 1354 English law implementing the Magna Carta: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt5-5-2/ALD.... If you study British history, you’ll see that foundation for what became America, Canada, and Australia has being built for 900 years, even when British society was ruled by a king.

The registry isn't useful for this. Either you're defining a format to be consumed by a generic decoder and therefore can't rely on tags in the registry, or you're defining a format to be consumed by a custom decoder you control, so it can understand whatever tags/extension types you make it understand. The registry is strictly a negative because--again--you can't rely on it, and it requires extensions to go through the registration process. You can't define application-specific types in CBOR.

> It even doesn't have other obvious tags like UUID. Is it justified?

Yes; UUIDs are huge 128-bit values and many popular embedded platforms are 32-bit. If your app needs them in MP that's what extension types are for.

---

I think maybe what makes us talk past each other is: there's no use-case for a generic CBOR (or MP) decoder on its own. JSON/XML/HTML won in that space (you know things are bad when there are more public XML APIs than public CBOR APIs). There's no serious use-case for a "tag-unaware diagnostic" tool for CBOR or MP APIs. You will always build things on top of the CBOR/MP decoder, there will always be API docs, or reverse engineering the wire format is trivial. CBOR really wants this to not be true; it really wants to be the binary JSON despite the fact this is more or less an oxymoron. The questions that illustrate the difference are:

- how does the format avoid forcing things on you you don't need

- how does the format provide for extension

MP's answers to these questions are:

- be very conservative about what's required of implementations

- extension types

CBOR's answers to these questions are:

- interact with IETF

- interact with IETF

Different people will react to that differently, but that's the bottom line.

Do you actually believe Chinese researchers are incapable of figuring out photovoltaics by themselves? China has first-rate universities and thousands of PhDs in every field imaginable. They can make solar cells without our help. Having access to western research only sped up the inevitable. China has a solar industry today simply because the Chinese government decided that energy production was a top priority. They made it happen.
He didn't start Tesla, he joined as an investor.

He would not have the money to do so if PayPal failed.

Musk has gotten wildly lucky many times, like when he was "gifted" a factory by the federal government in the wake of the 2008 automotive crisis. If the 2008 financial crisis never happened Tesla would not be a mass market manufacturer today. In an alternate timeline GM/Toyota would still be building the Pontiac Vibe and Corolla Matrix in Fremont.

Musk has been hitching his businesses to government money ever since (SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Starlink) and I say that's a direct result of his astonishing success in getting cheap/free money for Tesla.

And you don't convince the government to buy your products so easily unless you have a success story like Tesla's government investment under your belt.

When you think about it this way his infiltration into the executive branch is a logical conclusion of his "genius" strategy. Now he can just tell the government to buy his products. It's the exact kind of thing that a middling manager with mediocre products would do rather than compete on quality and value.
That's what James Madison thought (see Federalist #51)
That was more or less what Paul Volcker did in the early 1980s. Banks were smaller and more closely regulated, so he was able to put some constraint on the money supply, and raised interest rates. And it worked, it crushed inflation, but it was a very bitter pill--a hard recession followed. Volcker got yelled at by Congress, a lot. In the long run, he was vindicated--inflation remained fairly low until the pandemic.

But the idea that you should manage your economy according to how much of some metal you can dig out of the ground is ridiculous.
So many CLI tools delivered as bash/bourne shell scripts to source relying on aliases and other shell magic (aliases and functions rather than commands) fall apart when used in automated unattended environments like build processes.

I like that you did a full 180 between your two comments in this thread.

First it was "Trump seems to habitually make hyperbolic and ridiculous sounding statements" to pretend it's all talk and not representative of actual policy.

And then a complete switch to supporting all of the policies which started as "hyperbolic and ridiculous sounding statements" on tariffs, immigration and Russian imperialism.

Also, it seems your worldview is straight out of a fairy tale from Fox News and/or Russian propaganda. Maybe reading some more diverse and less biased news sources would help you (AP News, BBC, Bloomberg, WSJ, Al Jazeera, Reuters, etc)
