It was a thought and that’s why I said “one of the seeds”. I guess there’s such a thing as a “cultural zeitgeist” and when artists are creating stories and narratives they incorporate metaphors from things around them. They may not have explicitly read the newspaper article and said “giant lizards are a good bad guy” but that representation may have been culturally apt at the moment due to this story.

The creature design had to elicit fear and the actual representation on film may have been influenced by it. The stance may be more t-Rex than crocodile and I’m really not sure “whale” factored into the final appearance on film.

No one is questioning the impetus and relation to the fire bombings and nukes.

> We know what godzilla was about because the creators have told us so.

That’s the funny thing about culture and creation: a creator doesn’t always know their sources or have definite aspects to point to. Creation is a bit fuzzy. ;) (the same applies for LLMs!)
Indeed I think the trade-off here is the more "pure factorio" types of images we give to the agents, the more likely it is that they've seen it during training (from google etc), however the signal-to-noise ratio is low and hence the current models get confused as the map complexity (amount of entities) and level of detail grows. If we start to create custom images, we can reduce the unneeded noise, but then risk giving something completely OOD to the agent (unless we train a visual encoder) and the performance also tanks

5% is common enough that you'll encounter it almost every time you read code. And fixing it is not easy, because you first need to understand the code before you can add useful variable names.

Besides, programming language evolution is mostly driven by the fact that everyone is lazy and unprincipled at least occasionally. If you need to be disciplined to avoid footguns, you'll trigger them sooner or later.
It is not a subtle insinuation, Brave is the defacto only browser apart from Chrome right now. All the rest are niche and irrelevant if you measure adblock, compatibility and widely subpar privacy protection.

Indeed, products for domestic markets may have some incentives to avoid international supply chains.

The policies likely will just lead to multiple heavily coupled regional factories producing identical products at higher COGS. Controlling supply and demand in theory also makes communism more efficient, but in practice eventually has unintended economic consequences.

> Why are manufacturing jobs special?

Because you need manufacturing to win wars, or to be seen by outside great powers that you're in a position of winning wars. You're not winning wars based on git commit messages, but based on the steel any one country is able to produce at a certain moment in time (and to transform it into tanks/armoured vehicles and artillery shells).
Agree, "largest" base has some pathologies.

Put machine #1 at the starting location, run in one direction, and put machine #2 just before time runs out.

This is going to be a huge factory (as measured by its bounding box) but it's not super interesting.

You think death by drone is somehow more cruel or unusual than death by artillery shell, or machine gun, or landmine, or bomb, or missile?

War is cruel and unusual.

Geneva convention-type rules, like bans against cluster munitions, are usually less about what soliders do to each other, but more about protecting civilians. But targeted drones on the front lines pose virtually no danger to civilians at all.

> Of course, Android is Linux.

> The Linux Terminal runs on top of a [...] virtual machine.

It should, uh, at least be noted that "Android is Linux" doesn't really matter if you're just going to use a Virtual Machine anyway. Android could be based on BeOS and you could still have a Linux virtual machine. You could have a Windows virtual machine, for that matter. I wonder if Microsoft would be interested...

I would be interested in what it would take to get a non-virtualized Linux terminal on Android. Android is just a Linux distro at the end of the day, right? Could you chroot into a Debian environment?

Of course a nation with a high population will have a high GDP in a mostly agrarian society. Per capita, there’s no indication India was ever the richest. They did fall behind massively due to an inability to compete during industrialization though. The attached source even mentions deindustrialization started in the waning years of the Mughals. Due to industrialization, the West’s GDP per capita simply outpaced India and China significantly, to the extent western nations even had higher nominal GDPs.

They absolutely will. The problem with just setting a high price is that they'd be leaving money on the table whenever anyone who could afford even higher prices comes through. That's what they want to eliminate.

Even if you aren't earning more money the algorithm will constantly be testing you by jacking up prices to see what you'll endure under which circumstances. Screaming kids in the car with you? You'll probably put up with an extra 38.33 cents for those happy meals. Looking tired? A recent death in your family? Do your resent social media posts indicate that under more stress? Enjoy higher and higher prices to stress-eat your comfort foods peasant.

On the topic of preference, this thread has really shown me that there is a HUGE preference for a native-aot gc language that is _not_ Go. People want AOT because of the startup and memory characteristics, but do not want to sacrifice language ergonomics. C# could fill that gap if Microsoft would push it there.
Maybe it’s a cultural difference but to me that is just normal friendliness and ice-breaking. I’m quite happy for my manager to ask how am I and to have a 2 minute chat about life outside work before diving into the 1:1.
I'm not so sure about that. A few years ago I looked for historical university cost data. I didn't find much, but when I graphed what I did find I did not see any noticeable change in the rate costs grew between before the availability of cheap loans and after their availability.
The plight of the poor is not an economic problem it is purely a political one. Progress in technology isn't really a root cause of poverty, rather a proximate cause with the root cause being "because the fruits of technology are not adequately shared by government policy", a policy issue.

Tax the billionaires and do what government is supposed to do (use that money to protect the safety of their people), it won't matter if they make their wealth via robots or via people.

This pretty much covers it. Harris ran a terrible campaign in 2020 and was never popular. Biden picked her anyway, against his better judgement, because that was what the Left wanted and he was trying to appease them. His disastrous decision to run again for so long left the party with no other options.

Harris tried to correct some of her past mistakes and did better this time around but she should have never been in that position to begin with. Most of the blame should go to Biden and the activists who want to self-immolate the party on the altar of tokenism.
Keep in mind that being able to demonstrate your innocence to the government is also just an individual change in behavior. A person might not necessarily care if you use the tracking technologies or submit yourself to all the cameras in society. But they'll choose to do it themselves just so that there's that record out there.

The government coming up with one way to track everyone is not really necessary to get people to submit to tracking. In fact, most of the law enforcement "watcher" types wouldn't want that anyway. Not only is having a myriad number of ways to track and surveil people is far preferable to law enforcement, but it also allows people to individually choose to set up all the Ring doorbells and security cameras and GPS trackers and smart glasses based body cams etc etc all on their own.

And they'll happily choose to buy all that stuff voluntarily and without regard to what everyone else is doing.

Recently I tried to translate a few 100-200 line scripts from zsh to nushell with Claude 3.5 Sonnet and it sucked. This is now my go to experiment for new LLMs, translating code between two programming languages must be easier than translating natural language to a programming language, yet we don't see any such results, even for popular languages.

I'm in R&D, not software engineering. I bring an agenda, even if it's thrown together at the last minute: a list of things I've worked on and the progress on each, and I highlight things that I'm either quite pleased with or things that I think aren't going too well. Sometimes I spitball through any upcoming task where I'm either not too sure what I'm doing yet, or if I think they might be able to offer some guidance/suggestions.
It sounds like the C++ is not well-optimized then?
I dunno, I feel like I can be transparent with my manager when we ask each other that. I think it depends on your relationship with them and the company culture.

I think there is room for nuance. For example, it is true to say, “Programming requires intelligence.” It is also unnecessary to say, “You can’t program if you’re dumb.” One of these statements is productive and not insulting, the other isn’t.

Just my two cents.

> this whooshing noise is not generated by the piezoelectric part but rather from the connected focusing mechanism

Indeed. I never implied that the piezoelectric part makes an audible whooshing noise. I only meant to say that the entire Ring USM system makes that noise, and so it will affect audio recorded on the camera's on-board microphone. Either way, that noise explains the motivation for the development of STM AF and I guess Nano USM.

Agreed with everything else you said. Thanks again for your fantastic articles and replies!
Communism, as you described, is an ideal. An horizon, a direction to walk. Therefore, it never was achieved, and it is not expected to be achieved in any short term. So, it does not make sense saying that only after abandoning communism China rose. What they abandonned was a soviet flavour of socialism. Communism never existed (at least not the flavor that you described), but it is still an inspiration and source of values. Perhaps in a far future, with more technology, and without existing an upper class above a lower class this could be possible.

Good post. I'm reminded of this blog, which was really interesting while it lasted: https://naturespoisons.com/
It depends on how skilled/engaged is your manager. If it’s not a „you report progress“ exercise, you certainly should use 1:1s to „manage up“ and pursue your own agenda. Ask questions, suggest solutions, discuss plans etc.

Don’t make it too practical, try to have small talks too and chat about topics unrelated to work to build personal connection. The purpose of 1-1s is that and not to discuss current projects.

When you touch work-related topics, try to be as efficient as possible. Make sure you keep track of all discussed topics and ready to answer questions about action items from previous 1:1s.

If you need something, show some work in that direction too: e.g. you need some training? Find a few courses, check prices, suggest the best option on your opinion. If something can be done in advance or in async way, do it that way (applies to all sorts of meetings).

> no bidirectional power, no integration with solar or smart home systems, and no ability to manage home energy dynamically. They tend to be boxy, ruggedized, meant to be moved around, not seamlessly integrated into your living space. On top of that, many use e-mobility battery chemistries, which are great for delivering high power on demand but wear out faster when cycled daily for home energy use.

I already use an Ecoflow as quasi-UPS in my networking closet and one for a chest freezer and its worked great for that. They advertise a ~25ms switch over. I think (could be wrong) they also have features like scheduled tasks to managed recharge/discharge schedules.

Is the main difference between an Ecoflow and this basically the form factor?
Many people say this, but it is obviously bullshit. But most things people say all the time is bullshit, so I would not bother with it that much, it's not like people are saying "Programming languages don't matter, see here my affirmation is backed by a hundred statistics and data heavily reviewed and strong literature", it is more like "Programming languages don't matter, well at least I feel like it, the same way flowers smell like blue or something".
God, I hate 1:1s. In years on the job I've never had one that was useful. Managers already know what's going on because they're getting daily updates plus a weekly staff meeting. The rest of the time, please just leave me alone so I can work!

Let's face it, Rust is better for some things (low level programming) than other (not so low level programming).

You pay a price in accidental complexity when using Rust and accordingly get some benefit for it (performance).

And hearing these kind of reasoning when picking from Anders Hejlsberg (C# & Typescript creator) makes me more of a fan of him.

That is manufacturing capacity, not jobs. A factory of ten people and a few hundred robots is fine. Other types of manufacturing like chips, aerospace and medical equipment are high value and low workforce.

Tariffs and industrial policy may increase the US' manufacturing capacity, but don't expect to see many manufacturing jobs from it.
There are multiple kinds of 1:1s (career, project/work coaching, etc.). It's worth understanding what your manager thinks they are about and suggesting to your manager what you think a given meeting should be about. Personally, I find the overly structured approach too formal and it's more effective to limit the agenda to a short list of important topics but listed/agreed upon ahead of time (many people, both managers and not, are not comfortable diving into topics "on the spot" without some time to think to themselves about it first). One thing that should always be covered is whether there's anything your manager could do to facilitate your work. It's in both of your interests to make you as efficient as possible.
The best way to improve this is to just generate decent useful and actionable logs. Sifting through a trash heap is where the problem is. No magic will suddenly turn that trash into gold.

You have to do this at the inception of the software you’re building rather then strap it on the donkey when something breaks (the usual way).
