When you stop seeing everything through an adverserial filter, you'll find a world of friendly, interested, curious people. I know from experience. Just put faith in people, learn to recognize your subjective biases (usually driven by emotion) - even if you can't see past them, just know they're there and have some blind faith - and you'll be amazed. I know from experience.

Here's a trick: Go through this process: 'My emotions, which are not reality; are ...; my perceptions, which are not reality, are ...; if I bring my intellect to bear, I've learned ...'. At no point do we know reality - those things are all we've got, 'shadows on the wall'. The process forces us to sync up our frontal cortex and the emotional parts of our brains, which is essential and powerful, and to get some distance from our own perceptions.
Or at least obfuscate and mask your claim the same way the Trump administration has learned: “many are saying that most of those people are silent quitting or refusing to go back to work” “and how many of those people are silent quitting or refusing to go back to work?” “there is waste and fraud with people silent quitting or refusing to go back to work”
This seems like such a cool idea for a website, but then it's let down by the fact that it's actually First Known Photographs of Living Specimens Posted To INaturalist.com. I thought it'd be a bunch of photos from the 1800s but it's a bunch of photos from the 2020s.

For example here is the actual first known photo of a domestic cat: https://i.imgur.com/OKtFMos.jpeg
My favorite thing about this idea is its durability across decades. Similar ideas can be found in the book “Think and Grow Rich”, which dates back to the Great Depression.

Ultimately people buy from other people, or rarely in high-trust societies, from brands. We in the West recently became used to having the trust it takes to buy from a brand, but this is a rare, modern, exception. It’s sensible to buy from a person you trust - if there’s a problem with the thing you bought, the interpersonal relationship between you and the (human) seller provides assurance you’ll be made whole or at least helped. Whereas buying from a brand requires such assurances be provided by the society in the form of consumer protection laws, courts et al.

Cultivate a brand and an identity, and whatever you make, you can sell - provided it’s relevant and useful to your constituents.

It’s not an easy transition from having a job, but it sidesteps the age discrimination in the job market - and you might even get paid to do what you love.
The problem is nonconsensual surveillance. It is immaterial what activity you are engaged in that is being surveilled.
There wouldn't be a single factor driving it but a combination of many factors. Loss of coastline (and cities built along it) including greater susceptibility to storms for unaffected areas will obviously have economic costs, highly increased weather and storm variability will be significant (think monsoon rains, "atmospheric river," etc.), increased drought in some areas due to both temperature and weather pattern changes (see western US water rights among the states as the civil portion of this), mass movements of refugees (sure the US can close the southern border, but what happens if you get 50,000 migrants all deciding to come over at once in one area? Are you simply going to shoot all of them?).

Human extinction seems very unlikely, but the collapse of the infrastructure that allows creation of the infrastructure that allows modern life? That could be much more likely, particularly when you factor in military conflicts as well as purely climate-based changes and losses.
I suspect a large part of the problem is a lack of experienced engineers with the capacity to do interviews. As someone who often gets stuck with them, I can attest to how draining they can be, especially if you're doing them correctly. The problem is that it's _these_ engineers we need running the interview because they can pretty quickly pick out a fraudulent candidate from an exceptional one while giving both the option to use AI. I generally only need about 30 minutes to confidently assess whether someone is worth pushing further in the process.

But while HR would love to make me a full-time interviewer, it rarely makes business sense. So we end up with unqualified people using what they were told are good signals for hiring talent.

It is immaterial whether or not such surveillance is linked to identity or not. Would you be okay with a video of you showering being published without your consent if your face were blurred out?
Interesting. Maybe I got confused because I remember watching Simon Mitchell’s talk[1] about the hydrogen dives with Richard Harris. He mentioned that the Comex Hydra tests revealed hydrogen was significantly cold to breathe.

If I’m not mistaken, hydrogen has a lower heat capacity than helium. So how come helium doesn’t feel cold to dive? Could it also have to do with the actual percentages?

Mitchell mentions that for their 245m dive they’re using 4% O2, 91% H and 5% N2. Could it be that most average trimix doesn’t incur a temp penalty because when we’re diving 30/70 it just doesn’t have that much of an affect?

Where I live, there is a chain of "vacuum repair" shops. There are like 4 - 5 of them in an area no bigger than 60 square miles. I've always assumed they were a money laundering front. Are that many people repairing their vacuums?

The PRs make it clear that this was a bug in the spec, and the implementation behaved according to spec.
Ai is different then much of "High Tech" because it deals with information, knowledge, things that the CCP wants to keep tight control over for its population. So yes they "allow" it because this high tech is different then a high tech car or a high tech phone (behind the great firewall). AI is all about information and knowledge something which the CCP puts a high value on controlling. So "allowing" is the proper term this time. This is no way denigrates all of the other achievements of the CCP which are many.
I made something similar to this ~10 years ago: https://github.com/orlp/devector. I never finished it (writing proper containers in C++ is a nightmare [1] [2] [3]), although I did start a similar project in Rust a year or two ago... which I also haven't finished yet (the repo is still private). The double-ended vector is very similar to a regular vector, it can just have free space on both ends:

<------------ cap_front ------------>
<------------ cap_back ------------>
<----------------- total_capacity ----------------->
<----- len ----->
<-- space_front --> <-- space_back -->
[ [ elements ] ]
^
+--- ptr

In the Rust crate I store 1 pointer and three lengths: len, space_front, space_back for a total size of 32 bytes compared to the usual 24 bytes of Vec.

---

I don't think you always want to shift to the middle. Rather, I propose the following strategy (which I do in the Rust crate, unsure if I did the same in C++ implementation):

1. When a request is made for more free space on one side, check if there is already enough free space, and if not,

2. Compute an amortized growing capacity (e.g. double the current capacity), and take the maximum of that with the requested capacity. While doing this ensure you only take into account the capacity of the side you want more space on (e.g. cap_back in the above picture when growing the back),

3. Check if halving the free space on the other side is sufficient to satisfy the amortized request, if yes, do not reallocate and just shift the values internally, otherwise,

4. Allocate a new buffer with the computed capacity, plus the same amount of free space on the other side and copy over the values.

The above strategy ensures you will not exceed 3N space (with doubling space on grow) even when the double-ended vector is used in a LIFO pattern. For example a regular Vec which doubles its size has a 2N total space worst-case.

You probably can't do it observationally. You could give several developers the same project, and probably see pretty big differences in timeline and quality. But no one is going to put in the work to run that kind of assessment at scale with the level of realism and time duration (probably several weeks) to make it meaningful.
What would happen if we inverted the order? If we started with a good test name, descriptive of the behavior under test, and named the things being tested based on the test name.

This is missing the most important step though, which is to actually launder the money. Concealing the source of the money is only half of the ordeal, making the money seem legitimate is the second, usually considerably trickier bit. If you suddenly receive $100k from a crypto exchange with no trace of how you came to own it, your bank is going to ask you some questions.

Aside from silver for contact wires, PV panels are made (or could be made) with mundane materials available in essentially unlimited amounts. The total mass flowing through new PV panels each year if the US were fully solar powered would be much less than the volume of mundane material flowing through the system already. For example, the EPA estimated that in 2018 the US generated 600 million tons of construction and demolition waste (of which 143 million tons went to landfills.)

The politicians and the police get their cut of the money, and the victims are in other countries. There's a reason the scam industry operates out of poor places with dysfunctional government, like Myanmar and Cambodia.
I think the "hoodwinking" is about the immediacy of the problem, rather than whether it exists or not. Most of the current rhetoric and "efficiency" actions are centered around this idea that we're rapidly approach some near term fiscal cliff that requires action that's drastic in the temporal sense to avoid disaster. No time thinking things through or even following the law, it's a five alarm emergency that requires immediate action! This is where you get ideas like randomly firing new government employees before you even figure out what they do just because they're easier to fire. It doesn't save much money and has a lot of downsides and might not even be legal, but when time is of the essence you could maybe squint and see the argument.

But the reality is that time is not of the essence. Infinitely growing government debt does seem kind of unsuistainble long term, but the scale of the debt combined with the lack of any specific immediate forcing function would seem to favor actions that are drastic in scale but that can be spread over time. In other words the government needs to significantly increase revenue and/or decrease spending, but it doesn't need to do it tomorrow. It's nearly the complete opposite of what's going on now, where making cuts yesterday is considered vastly more important than actually getting to a place where spending and revenue are aligned long term.
> those 2 senators are not supposed to represent the people of those states, they represent the states themselves

They were, but not are. They are now elected by popular vote and the citizens clearly expect the senators to represent them. Few people know this history and fewer care. Most are in the crowd always looking for another argument against freedom and democracy.

> The fact we use an electoral college or count senators and house reps equally is separate and after the fact, we don't have to do it that way

It's in the Constitution just like the Senators, so we do have to do it. We can change anything, of course. We can get rid of both branches and go with a parliamentary system.

> We see a similar hierarchy in the order laws are passed. The people get a law proposed via the House, once it passes it goes onto "state review" in the Senate, and finally "Federal" review by signing of the president.

Legislation originates also in the Senate, and of course the president authors much of it (wherever it's interoduced). Only a few things are required to officially start in the House.

Still, that's an interesting way to look at it. But I follow politics and federal government closely, I read lots of history, and read at a sophisticted level, and I've never heard that. Maybe that was an idea back in the 18th century?
This issue appears to have affected all architectures. This issue was present in the specification against which seL4 was verified. You can say that there are no bugs by virtue of it following the specification, but if the specification was wrong and in this case it was, then were there really no bugs?
Well it’s an area I’m working to improve. It works well for me but everyone’s acoustic instrument and device is a little different. I’d say it isn’t worth getting a new keyboard to use midi for this purpose. Acoustic pianos are awesome and using my app (or others) on the go to drill in note recognition to supplement your physical practice is a great combination.
Such a dumb technical choice driven by stupid managerial considerations. They do this ring -1 shit because hardware companies view this as a cheap way to add value. But they don't open source it or contribute back because they view it as secret sauce. Minix as a result didn't get the investments that GPL software receives. Now the project is in hard legacy mode.
> Both of those were easily afforded in the 80s.

That's due to the post-war boom. The book Capital in the 21st Century goes over this, that the period between 1950 - 2000 was an anomaly for the US that cannot be replicated, yet people bring up this stat as if it were normal.
> Once a country has been identified it'd be handy to see their neighbouring countries

Yes, this would definitely aid memory by providing context. Remembering shapes in isolation is hard, but if there is context it's much easier.
The caveat is that there's almost nobody in Germany who'd be physically fit and or motivated to actually fight a war. Germany was systematically drained off anything even remotely resembling patriotism. This was politically and legally enforced by borderline criminalizing terms like Heimat (home / homeland), forget about displaying its flag without raising eyebrows. Its cultural DNA is diluted to an extent that I'd be hesitant to even call it a country - it's basically just an area with lots of people living on it. There's no coherent society anymore. The war machines will all be sold to other countries. Rich people will get richer and the plebs will be brought to heel with orchestrated fear. It's a funny irony that the warmongers in German politics are the same people who'd have taken any opportunity to express their contempt for anything military up until only a few years ago.

Great write up. I switched to a 36 key keyboard a few weeks ago, which means I don’t have the physical space for ctrl/shift/alt/cmd. My typing speed has screeched to a grinding halt, the first few days I was struggling to find many keys, highlighting terrible and horrible typing habits I had picked up over the years.

It’s been a lot of fun re-learning how to type. It has made me much more conscious about how I type. My speed on a regular keyboard hasn’t changed, however it has improved my typing hygiene drastically.

Homerow mods are great!

That's great! Now try getting hired with nothing but a degree when everyone knows half the class did this shit.
I think you meant "indignant". Besides that, I pretty much agree. Got pretty defensive about the only questioning comment on the post when I looked too. Harsh reaction to a fair point, and then contrary when somebody pointed out it was harsh. All the other comments got ordinary civility and thank yous.

Checking one process for network traffic says absolutely nothing about the actual proliferation of that data, whether from a repair tech having physical access to read the log, or the data being written elsewhere besides the log, or another process receiving it either directly or via the log and uploading it. If you want to prove everyone wrong, at least actually prove it instead of pretending to and then accusing anyone of FUD who points out the holes in your logic and methodology. I don't even give a darn that it's Apple, not like there'd be any less dubiousness if it were Microsoft or Google. This reads like someone who has an emotional axe to grind, not actual research.
No. Where BCPL doesn't have types, C does have types. They're not very good types, we're not going to get any prizes in a language design class, they're basically all the machine integers wearing fancy dress, but they are types.

You know how in C you can write "int k" or "char v" ? That's types. BCPL doesn't have that. Yes that's in the original K&R book, no you didn't need to wait until 1989 to have types in C, they were obligatory from the outset.
It’s rare to find someone argue that confirming only 25% of a massive amount of output enabled only because of the in place system is a good reason to eliminate the system.

It’s kind of like saying “solar panels are only 20% efficient, so are you sure the sun is critical for the solar energy industry?”

The only level 3 certified drive system available in the US (Mercedes) utilizes LIDAR.

The only operating robotaxi service also uses it.

I would say it’s the opposite of evident that cameras are enough.

The monkey brain is doing things on "autopilot", without noticing how your mind operates. It's the opposite of mindfulness.

I work in the field. The amount of jargon is indeed large but it's not out of the ordinary. It's simply how things are referred to. If the author explained what everything is the content would span a textbook.

That being said I do find the content difficult to understand, and I think reading the actual papers would be much more enlightening. But it's a great survey of all the things people have done.

Farming would be extremely effective if the crops would be plowed down into the ground when they're ripe, instead of bothering with all the work of harvesting, refining, packaging and distributing to customers.

But fortunately, software developers are not involved in architecting farming.

What I'm saying is that developing for developments sake is completely pointless. The purpose of software is to help in the real world. And every developer should understand that connection, no matter how shy or antisocial.
Apple seems to have put a lot of money in automotive projects - before pulling the plug. So not too likely that this was done in mistake.

By contrast, I'm constantly disappointed in how bad CarPlay is. So many things are obviously broken. It's hard to understand why it's stuck in this condition (by contrast with tiny tweaks from one release to the other, Apple fashion.)
I think this goes for almost all software. Hardware is still getting impressively faster every year despite moore’s law expiring.
