Could not have put it better myself! After finding myself very inspired by the novels, mostly as an introduction to the virtues of critical thinking and how those can be foundational to a worldview (which is good!), the cracks in the armor really started to show when looking at the community, and especially Rand's relationship with Nathaniel Branden.

There's lots to say about how Objectivism oversimplifies and attacks caricatures, and doesn't address itself to sophisticated economic thinking. You can get good out of it (I read it during the Bush admin and felt like it was making the same warnings against the excesses of state power that 1984 was), and it's not terrible to expose a person to the virtues of philosophy, and critical thinking. In my case it opened my eyes to moral realism, at which point I traded in any interest in Objectivism for that instead.

Even if you want to take the novel on its own terms that it has super-intellectual heroes, how humans work is every bit as much a part of reality as the physics of inventing a new metal. And the talent of administering human organizations is never present. It also never really models how mere mortals can reconcile their imperfections to the standards articulated, and is not self aware enough to speak to the population of mere mortals who would misdiagnose themselves as misunderstood heroes.

Your understanding of objectivism is deeply flawed if you think the philosophy sees no possible value in the trade between two people. Radical independence in objectivism as a virtue is independence of judgment, not some caricature you present of being an irrational loner.
Yeah, it's a Briticism. The FT is basically the Wall Street Journal of London, for those not familiar. I've been reading this paper for decades and they often use "group" for "company," "sack" instead of "fire," and many other delightfully English locutions.
Unison of course works this way, as has been mentioned.

I like Deno for similar reason. It's a coarser level of granularity, and not explicitly content-addressed, but you can import specific versions of modules that are ostensibly immutable, and if you want, you could do single-function modules.

I like the idea so much that I'm now kind of put off by any language/runtime that requires users of my app/library to do a separate 'package install' step. Python being the most egregious, but even languages that I am otherwise interested in, like Racket, I avoid because "I want imports to be unambiguous and automatically downloaded."

Having a one-step way to run a program where all dependencies are completely unambiguous might be my #1 requirement for programming languages. I am weird.

One reason not to do things this way is if you want to be able to upgrade some library independently of other components that depend on it, but "that's what dependency injection is for". i.e. have your library take the other library as an argument, with the types/APIs being in a separate one. TypeScript's type system in particular makes this work very easily. I have done this in Deno projects to great effect. From what I've heard from Rich Hickey[1] the pattern should also work well in Clojure

[1] something something union types being superior to what you might call 'sum types'; can't find the link right now. I think this causes some trouble in functional languages where instead of something being A|B it has to be a C, where C = C A | C B. In the former case an A is a valid A|B, but a C A is not an A, so you can't expand the set of values a function takes without breaking the API. Basically what union types require is that every value in the language extends some universal tagged type; if you need to add a tag to your union then it won't work.

To add to the conversation:

If it is accurate to consider the philosophical concept of a valence as a fundamental building block of emotions, then I think I'm fairly comfortable going a step further from just the evolutionary explanation of emotions to a more positive directive around emotional development within ones self and the support of that development within others as being a deeply moral action as well.

He's just saying it's a tax on consumption. Is that a good thing?

Importantly he's ignoring all the second order effects of disrupting international supply chains.

And the mitigating factor he notes, that it makes the dollar appreciate, is empirically not correct, the opposite is happening; a lot of trade is denominated in USD anyway.

I dunno, man, just from personal experience... I never went to raves back in the day, and only occasionally to clubs. With one exception I found the mobs of sweaty drunken (or otherwise intoxicated) people borderline intolerable. But sitting in my room with headphones on, blasting trance or other EDM... I feel swept up and part of something. It's also the best way for me to bro out lots of code, with that stuff pumping. It's like the rhythm provides guide-rails for my brain to keep it going a certain direction.

The one exception? I once saw Armin Van Buuren do one of his legendary hours-long sets. That man is like the Pied Piper. Whatever energy the floor had before he came on was amplified a hundredfold and I just danced and danced, people be damned.

Nope. It got there through ruthless population control measures, that actually _reduced_ the Copenhagen population: https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/cities/20894/cope...

The central problem of Objectivism is that they tie their logical conclusions into emotional knots. You can see this in their use of loaded language such as "theft".

The problem is that this causes them to believe that their conclusions are purely logical, even when they are not. Therefore any disagreements are "proof" that the other is being illogical and should be rejected. This leads to an intolerance of disagreement, that in turn leads to the excommunication, loyalty tests, and so on. All of which will be expressed in the rhetoric of the philosophy, which is designed to appeal to reason while connecting to emotion.

It is perfectly predictable emotional behavior. As is the inability to process inconvenient information that does not align with what the philosophy wishes to believe is true.

Respectfully, I suggest you spend a bit more time actually making sure you're responding to what people have actually said and not just what you think they're getting at.

> You are still condoning unauthorized computer access.

Not at all, literally the opposite. You need only to read past one sentence in my post to see: "Yes of course they're both wrong"

> You can enter a building without breaking a door or a window, not sure where you got the notion that is not possible.

Not once did I say it wasn't possible. I was using that as an example: "If you break a door or window to gain access, that's real damage." If. As in, it's not required to do this, but this is an example of "real damage."

> Similarly, if you SSH into a server, the company handling the security gets its reputation tarnished.

If you tell people, yes. And that constitutes real damage. If you SSH into a server to prove to yourself you can do it, and then log out, you have still committed a crime but you have not committed any real damage.

There are absolutely people in this thread making the arguments that you're responding to. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them.

The whale is a fish thing isn't what I had in mind, iirc that's a solid argument that still mostly holds up.

It's been a long time, I read it right after reading the Eric Dolin book about american whaling and coming out of that some of the details about nantucket and its fleet & practices at that time were off but I'm not going to be able to come up with citations on anything.

He also messes with some of the shipboard social dynamics for the sake of the story, uses names for some of the positions that were not used in the american whaling fleet, shifts responsibility for certain things around so they'll land on named characters, standard literary moves like that.

It's probable that all of these were intentional to serve the story. And I'm not an expert either which makes simple embellishment hard to spot. I'm mostly just pointing out that asserting what anyone "knows" about whales from reading moby dick is tricky.

I took your original post to mean that AI researchers' and AI safety researchers' expectation of AGI arrival has been slipping towards the future as AI advances fail to materialize! It's just, AI advances have been materializing, consistently and rapidly, and expert timelines have been shortening commensurately.

You may argue that the trendline of these expectations is moving in the wrong direction and should get longer with time, but that's not immediately falsifiable and you have not provided arguments to that effect.
That quote itself seems to be disingenuous, conflating "one successful drug" which costs $1B with "drug candidates in clinical trials." Even more so when taken from context, as the next sentence in the article is

And that doesn't sound "successful" at all. How much money is sunk into R&D at the point of failure is the much more relevant statistic to consider. If the pharmaceutical industry wasn't wildly profitable, they'd be investing those billions elsewhere, leaving drugs to a slow-cooking niche.
I'd be interested in your analysis of it!

Every model has a hard part. Yours is this: you need to be able to rapidly assess which products are easy to close before the startup knows it.

If you have the taste to find that sweet spot you’ll do great. That said, this level of taste is most often deployed alongside venture capital where you’ll work less and make way more.

If your taste isn’t good then you should build a highly effective cheap rapid assessment tool out of your business so that the tool can tell you what’s good fast. Which is a thing many venture firms do or have tried to do, for obvious reasons.

Upshot: sure, give it a try. I suggest you negotiate for some options along with your cash comp for being ‘free’, because even a great venture portfolio hits like 1 in 20.

IMHO, with this type of issue is often more likely blowing through the multixact cache or the query planner reverting to SEQSCAN due to the number of locks or mxact id exaustion etc.. It is most likely not a WAL flush problem that commit_delay would help with.

From the above link:[1]

> I found that performing extremely frequent vacuum analyze (every 30 minutes) helps a small amount but this is not that helpful so problems are still very apparent.

> The queue table itself fits in RAM (with 2M hugepages) and during the wait, all the performance counters drop to almost 0 - no disk read or write (semi-expected due to the table fitting in memory) with 100% buffer hit rate in pg_top and row read around 100/s which is much smaller than expected.

Bullet points 2 and 3 from here [2] are what first came to mind, due to the 100% buffer hit rate.

Note that vacuuming every 30min provided "minor improvements" but the worst case of:

25000 tps * 60sec *30min * 250rows == 11,250,000,000 ID's (assuming worst case every client locking conflicting rows)

Even:
25000tps 60sec 30min

Is only two orders of magnitude away from blowing through the 32bit transaction ID's.

45,000,000
4,294,967,296

But XID exhaustion is not as hidden as the MXID exhaustion and will block all writes, while the harder to see MXID exhaustion will only block some writes.

IMHO, if I was writing this, and knowing that you are writing an orchestration platform, getting rid of the long term transactions with just a status column would be better, row level locks are writing to the row anyways, actually twice.

tuple lock -> write row lock to xmax column -> release tuple lock.

Long lived transactions are always problematic for scaling, and that status column would allow for more recovery options etc...

But to be honest, popping off the left of a red black tree like the linux scheduler does is probably so much better than fighting this IMHO.

This opinion is assuming I am reading this right from the linked to issue [1]

such a broad subject, with so many stakeholders.. really, starkly different stakeholders.. yet the topic is "Industrial Policy" so, worth a mention is a collection of thinkers in the USA and elsewhere, who envisioned synergetic clusters of heavy industry.. where the waste products of one can be handled or repurposed into another distinct endeavor, at close range.. also limiting the brownsfields left as industry moves on.. one search term is "Industrial Ecology" ..

When you say that those unable to work "have to rely on voluntary charity" it is functionally equivalent to saying that people should be left to starve when others don't have extra money (IE - During a recession).
