> Understanding what something is for is not understanding how it accomplishes it

I can think of at least one area I know something about where the 5 second rule fails - sometimes when working on a shader and optimizations for it, it takes more than 5 seconds for the person who wrote the code to describe what it's for at a high level.

If even the person who wrote the code can't meet that arbitrary constraint, other people looking at the code for the first time have no chance.
The nuanced answer to this is they have a first mover advantage and make a great robot. The point of the thread is that new development is much cheaper for folks to figure it out. Recyclers are the most entrepreneurial people you will ever meet. we’ll figure out some good uses for this stuff when it gets cheaper.

It's not at all surprising that Congress would indemnify people for, more or less, doing what Congress authorized them to do. If we don't like it, we could consider, maybe not voting the same people into that Congress. Over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over.

A full 24 Senators and 63 Representatives have held their seats for over 36 years. That's not what you'd expect of a citizenship that was actually upset about being spied upon by their government.
I had the last non-butterfly MBP, and work tried to get me to move to a new one for years - i fought to keep mine.

Then I switched jobs, got a butterfly MBP and the laptop was honestly one of the worst I've had. After 2 years, I had lost a number of keys (i simply never used the built in keyboard when possible) and the battery started expanding. I couldn't even make it to the normal refresh cycle. Maybe bad luck, but such a POS. Apple phoned it in the generation prior to M1.
I’m not sure that’s quite true. Say the proof of proposition P requires a minimum of N symbols. You could prove it in one paper that’s N symbols long and nobody can read, or you can publish k readable papers, with an average length on the order of N/k symbols, and develop a theory that people can use.

I think even if N is quite large, that just means it may take decades or millennia to publish and understand all k necessary papers, but maybe it’s still worth the effort even if we can get the length-N paper right away. What are you going to do with a mathematical proof that no one can understand anyway?
Totally ridiculous take. Duterte didn't stop drugs or rape at all. He condoned and decriminalized vigilantism and mob killings. Police abuse of powers was wildly out of control, and the cities were full of motorbike riding assassins. People were literally getting killed in the street and left with a sign claiming they were "pusher"s. During that time, he also attacked journalists who reported negatively and opposition politicians. There was a large sentiment suggesting the government/police force was INVOLVED in the drug trafficking even.

It was a horrible time in the Philippines and even worse, you can draw a LOT of parallels between his campaign and time in office to Trumps. Both used Cambridge Analytica data to manipulate voters on social media (and traditional media) and had "troll armies" on social media, both ran on populist/disestablishment platforms, both very "macho" and Duterte said horrible stuff that his press secretary pawned off as "Bisaya humor", where Trump did the same thing and pawned it off as "locker room talk". Trump cozies up to Putin just like Duterte cozied up to Xi Jinping even as he was encroaching in the West Philippine Sea. Duterte had his "oplan tokhong" targeting drug users (he said they were raping babies), where Trump has his ICE people going after brown people (he said they're eating peoples dogs). Both also wanted to alter their constitutions to allow longer terms for themselves.

If you put your tinfoil hat on for a moment, you could probably make a convincing argument that Duterte's presidency was like a pilot program for Trump's.
There's more than a dozen - I should know. I've seen quite a few large systems built in it. Most of the time however it isn't well advertised (finance, insurance, etc).

- I don't think the compiler is actually that bad, and yes - inline definitions I think once you are going on the "templating route" are going to be slower. Spans and ref structs are there - I think the design of them is more intuitive actually - the C# "ref struct" at first glance sounds like an oxymoron to me.

- modern .net immutable collections - in testing these are significantly slower than some of the F# options especially when you go away from the standard lib and use some of the other collection libraries. The algorithms within the C# immutable libs were not as optimal for some common collection types. They didn't feel modern last time I used them and I was forced to switch to the F# ones and/or others in the F# ecosystem to get the performance I needed. Immutable code felt MUCH more idiomatic with F#.

- "Doing moderately clever things can cause the compiler to throw weird, opaque, internal errors" - happened with init fields for me; can't recall another time.

Don't mind the file order bit - I thought OCAml and a few other languages also do this. Apps still scale OK, and when I was coding in it got me out of a few spaghetti code issues as the code scaled up to about the 500,000+ LOC mark.

However I do agree with you on it being kept alive by skeleton crew - I think the creators and tooling staff have moved on to the next big thing (AI and specifically Github Copilot). Which the way things are moving will raise some interesting questions about all coding languages in general potentially.
Not talking about work – but why?
Yeah, thinking about the same while back. If I remember they sale of Boston Dynamics was kind of chump change for Google.

I assume google made the choice of selling the "brain" for any "body" whoever develops it. Something like android.
Yes, it was. Previously, I had an XPS 13” that was pretty decent, and then an Intel Air, which was even better.

I bought an M1 Air, base model, at launch, and was blown away. For once, a manufacturer wasn’t lying about battery life. What Apple has achieved with their SoC is nothing short of revolutionary. They make the best laptops by any conceivable metric, and it isn’t even close.
Amazing! I looked into your ADAM claim, and it checks out. Thanks! Now I'm curious. I you have the time, could you please follow up with the 'etc...'?
Yes, but the C++ library becomes inherently broken because there is no error reporting.
Nor the elite's solution: ideological wrapping over intra-elite reputational warfare -- cf., twitter.
You still need to think about error handling, and it's not standardized because everyone else will also have to think about it ad hoc.

You'll also still need to think about when to copy and move ownership, only without a type system to help you tell which is which, and good luck ensuring resources are disposed correctly (and only once) when you can't even represent scoped objects. `goto` is still the best way to deal with destructors, and it still takes a lot of boilerplate.

It just says his actions reinforced white supremacy, and you've got to admit, white supremacists do love Trump, and they specifically love him because of the words he says and the actions he takes.
There is no ethical ambiguity in sharing public records publicly. This information would fall under FOIA (due to the very actions of DOGE exceeding its authority as an office under the President), which a court has recently ruled DOGE is required to comply with.

I’m far from the only staff level consultant at the company. Doing requirement analysis is considered “leading a project”. It’s a billable project assigned to a staff level consultant once sales brings in a customer and usually last 3-5 weeks.

While I’m considered a specialist for “cloud native applications”, I can pinch hit for almost any of our specialties at this level except for migrations.

Once the customer accepts the proposal, then leading the implementation is considered another project that is assigned to a staff level consultant. The “architects” (non staff) are the specialists that lead their “work stream” and are hands on and leading their sub team depending on the size of the work.

An implementation is made up of multiple work streams (epics).

> noise-cancelling headphones + 3m earplugs might work together

Sure, any closed back headphones work and cancel out noise very nicely — I tried Sony WH-1000XM4, and they weren't much more effective than a pair of much cheaper closed backs without ANC.

I've been living in this combo for many years (using ear plugs 24/7 and changing them as needed, headphones on top when not sleeping), and it's been really helpful in keeping me relatively sane.

If you don't care about the sound quality, just set the volume to the max so it can yell through the ear plugs, and you don't have to take them out even when listening to something.

The last Egyptian pharaoh was Nectanebo II, who ruled from 358 to approximately 340 BC. Alexander founded Alexandria in 331 BC as the crown jewel of his empire where Euclid wrote his magnum opus, The Elements in 300 BC!

Unless the royal pharaoh of Egypt, refers to Ptolemy I Soter, Macedonian general who was the first Ptolemaic Kingdom ruler of Egypt after Alexander's death.
Self-Organization in Cybernetics
I'll need to dig up a source but I recently heard about this company and, apparently, before offering gigs they do a credit report to determine how much debt the person is carrying (i.e. how desperate they are) and they use that information to _round down_ the hourly rate they offer them.

In the unlikely event that there are any negative consequences for this breach, they deserve every bit of them and more.

> The Inherent Insecurity of API Connections

I'm no security expert, but this seems like a bad take. How are APIs any less secure than any other form of interacting with a program? Nothing here is really a problem with APIs but rather a problem with access control.

> anyone with Reader permissions on the connection is allowed to arbitrarily call any endpoint on the connection

This is not an API issue... It feels like saying we shouldn't allow users to search a database because they might run a SQL injection to drop all the tables. Searching tables isn't the problem, not sanitizing inputs is. This is more like giving all users on your network sudo access or just doing chmod -R 777 /.

My concern here is that a lot of people have the takeaway that APIs shouldn't be exposed because they create security risks. But that's not true. The API exposure isn't the risk, it is the access control. If you don't have proper access control then it really isn't going to matter if you have an API or not. But then again, we have a long history of not taking fairly basic security seriously and with decades of computing and seeing the results, I really can't figure out why. Sure, security is expensive, but bad security is far more expensive. I guess maybe the issue is I'm not much of a gambler.

> Do you think he'd receive a fair trial if he came back to the US?

Honestly, yes. He was extremely visible and it was the Obama administration. I think it was well-understood how much damage it could have done to Democratic party interests if they nailed him to a wall for exposing behavior that was extremely unpopular among their constituents. Manning did far worse with far less duty-of-care and received a pardon after seven years.

For all its flaws, the US is actually a place where fair trials happen most of the time (especially when someone's in the media's eye). Snowden, much like Assange or Manning, wasn't in a position where he could just be disappeared. I think he traded, at most, a decade of discomfort for a lifetime of exile.

But it's his call. It's not like the US is the only good place to be; maybe a lifetime of exile is fine.
Another day, another better battery for consumer product promise. I really hope one day we will get rid of stinking non electric cars from the streets.
This seems obviously untrue: why would they be replicating it if they didn’t want it?

I see both cases as people who aren’t well served by the artisanal version attempting to acquire a better-than-commoditized version because they want more of that thing to exist. We regularly have both things in furniture and don’t have any great moral crisis that chairs are produced mechanistically by machines. To me, both things sound like “how dare you buy IKEA furniture — you have no appreciation of woodwork!”

Maybe artisanal math proofs are more beautiful or some other aesthetic concern — but what I’d like is proofs that business models are stable and not full of holes constructed each time a new ML pipeline deploys; which is the sort of boring, rote work that most mathematicians are “too good” to work on. But they’re what’s needed to prevent, eg, the Amazon 2018 hiring freeze.

That’s the need that, eg, automated theorem proving truly solves — and mathematicians are being ignored (much like artist) by people they turn up their noses at.
While I find Bluey fun and so does my child, in many of the episodes the children are loud and frantic. I've also noticed my kid whining in the same way Bluey and Bingo do.

In trying to find calmer shows, two I like are Tumble Leaf and Guess How Much I Love You. Tumble Leaf has a stop-motion look and every episodes involves finding and object and using it to solve a problem. Guess How Much I Love You has a watercolor look and is about a rabbit family and pretty calm. I don't enjoy those as much as Bluey, but I enjoy how my kid behaves after watching them.

I'd like to find more like those two if anybody knows any.

That is precisely the question that should be asked, and not rhetorically.

Firefox is important, the peoples le who make Firefox are important. If someone can form a lean organisation that can fund the development they should do so. Open source allows the potential to abandon a bloated governing structure, but it has to be done with eyes wide open and fully committed to providing the resources to continue development.

It is a very hard problem, but not an intractable problem. It is certainly better than asking managers to decide against their own self interest.
I really doubt this. I mean mathematicians spent decades trying to answer if the number 2 exists.

Vanguard generally owns stocks in their funds on behalf of people. Those people can chose to e.g. vote their share and if the business is sold (e.g.) will get their share. This is still ownership.

I'm not sure why the capital gains argument matters here. If the business can return money to shareholders in a way that increases their capital then they'll prefer to do so (e.g. via stock buybacks) but that benefits the fractional owner the same way it benefits the large owner.

It's true that if you own 0.0001% of a business you have very little influence about how it is run in the day to day. But the value of your investment is still anchored to the value of the business in exactly the same way as the larger owners are.

Worth mentioning, because the authority level of medical practitioners throws people off. Don't ever give a doctor or practice your Social Security Number. They don't need it. Similarly if they want to check an ID that doesn't mean scan or photograph. Doctors, practices, etc are the worst at infosec. They have no training, basically no penalties if they do something wrong and all of that info is only to follow up in case you don't pay your bill.
