  1. Tipping needs to go away. People need to be paid fairly for their work.

  2. This is pretty horrible. Having so many people live in a desert like Arizona is not sustainable. Bragging about how the Colorado river doesn't even reach the ocean is very bad for the environment. You can't just keep sucking water out of the ground and the colorado river without some really serious consequences.

  3. On the plus side you can ignore all of these things and not miss anything. If it is only going to matter for a few weeks I don't see why it even matters.

  4. I like AI systems for regression problems because we understand how and why those work. I also think that things like copilot are going in a better direction. The idea is that it is an assistant and can help with coding but it does not replace the programmer at all and doesn't even attempt to. Even Microsoft will tell you that is a bad idea. These things make mistakes, they make a lot of mistakes but using it like a pair programmer you can take advantage of the strength and mitigate the weaknesses. What really scares me are people that trust these systems. I had a conversation with someone earlier today on if they could just trust the AI to write all the tests for them for some code and it took a while to explain that you can absolutely not trust these systems for any task. They should only be used working with a human with rapid feedback cycles.

  5. This is why I prefer the engineering approach. The glass is not half full or half empty. The glass is at 50% of its designed capacity.

  6. We have actually talked about this in Germany and I have seen it covered in the news also. Companies are laying workers off, claiming nobody wants to work, getting children's working laws weakened and then hiring children for even less. It is grotesque.

  7.  @Junksaint  Outside of direct violence what option is there? It is pretty clear that we even have members of the supreme court that are perfectly going with ending democracy and welcome right wing authoritarianism. Even in New York city the judge would not throw Trump in jail for repeated violations of the gag order. Anyone else would have been in Jail.

  8. From living in Germany now for about 7 years I can tell you that most Europeans would not date an American to get a green card. The vast majority of them don't want to move to the USA and look at it with a mixture of horror and curiosity fairly often. During Covid it seems that Germany mostly looked at the USA for a lesson on what not to do. We need to do X policy or we will end up like Florida kind of stuff.

  9. Translation: We are SCREWED. Look at Covid-19. This is something we know how to deal with, and we can't even get people to wear masks.

  10. This should be illegal as hell. People carry cash when traveling, especially if they are traveling internationally. This is clearly just armed robbery.

  11. I wonder if this type of situation will end up causing severe damage to the EU. With hungary and poland defending each other it makes it really easy for two nations working together to violate pretty much any part of EU law with impunity. Why should other countries trust and follow the laws when others are just continually breaking them with no consequences? This kind of thing is toxic to a group.

  12. What I generally find is that having junior developers test their code is what makes it better code. You have them test the code and they complain about how hard it is to test. I work with them to understand that if it is hard to test it is also hard to work with later and we break up the code into smaller functions, make the output of the function depend on the input where possible, simplify the interfaces, etc. and by the time they are done they end up with code that is much better and also tested. At this point I used tests to determine if code is good or bad. If you have never actually used the code you can't say if the design is good or bad and testing will force you to use it and actually confront what you have done. It is also why developers can't just hand off testing to someone else. They need to feel the pain of the code they have written and fix it to get better.

  13. I think you need to accept that the justice system is dead in the USA. The USA is just as much of an oligarchy at this point as Russia is. Good luck

  14. I used to go to movies more and eat out with friends. Now we have dinner at my place and watch a movie. I also know a LOT more people doing the same thing. That is BAD for GDP but it is GREAT for us. We get better food, we have a more enjoyable evening, there is less stress, we can pause whenever we want. Even the picture quality is much better. If more people did this it would be even worse for the economy but it would make all of our lives better.
    148
  15. One of the issues I see is that treating people like this makes it really hard to recruit new people. If you are a top programmer why would you choose to work at twitter considering the amount of random abuse that can just suddenly land on you? There are lots of other places you can work, solve interesting problems, and will treat you much better.
    138
  16. Endless growth is unsustainable. You can't just keep having more and more people. We have to learn to deal with this problem.
    137
  17. The moderators in many forums are now discussing malicious compliance. Moderating only using Reddit tools and letting the system go to hell as a result. There is no way I would invest in this because without those tools Reddit is going to degrade into a cesspool very quickly. Apparently Reddit plans to use AI moderation to "solve" the problem and based on seeing AI moderation in other places .... that will be a disaster.
    136
  18. 4K blurays seem to be doing pretty well now. I would also say that streaming services seriously suck now. Content is spread among so many different services and older movies keep being removed. I gave up on streaming. Even the quality has gotten worse.

  19. In Germany what she did was illegal without even considering who she filmed. You are not allowed to take pictures/videos of people in public. The cops would definitely deal with it.
    135
  20. I think the biggest problem I have with roads is all the space they take up. The more you build car dependent infrastructure the further apart everything gets because you need more roads and more parking. This ends up in a vicious cycle. Mass transit, walking, and biking don't work very well because the system is so decentralized. It also makes living in these places miserable. Cars just don't belong in cities. If you really want to you could take one to a city but then walk, ride, or use transit from there. From the economics cities have found out they need to charge a LOT more for parking because a lot of their land is devoted to cars and they make very little money off that land. Basically cars don't pay enough to cover the cost of the infrastructure they need. If people had to pay what it actually costs to use those things then most would not use them. The same is also true of suburbs.
    126
  21. When to big cars collide though they bring even more kinetic energy into the impact than two small cars. The arms race only works if you are getting than all the others and so it just loses in the end.

  22. You have to understand these companies don't like capitalism. The very idea of competing is not something they EVER want to do. They want to be lords and they divide up the market between them and then we just have to accept whatever they want. Listen to some of the billionaires that fund startups, they ONLY fund ones with plans to be monopolies. These companies also don't like democracy, it is inconvenient to them. I think we need a HUGE wave of trust breaking and break these companies down small enough that they actually have to compete on making a better product.
    102
  23. I was actually going to say that malls in Germany seem to be doing quite well however they are really different than the USA. Many of the large train stations are also malls. While waiting for your train you can get your grocery shopping done, pick up a book, buy clothes, get some food etc. Also the malls that are in cities are really in the city and not surrounded by parking lots. They are well connected to transit and integrate with all the shops around them. You might not even notice when you walk in and out of mall sometimes.
    98
  24. I think that Paris will end up benefiting economically from the Olympics but not directly. Paris created a long term plan before the Olympics to modernize a lot of the infrastructure in the city. More focus on walking and biking, less on cars, more on transit. The Olympics causes Paris to implement many of those changes MUCH faster than they ever would have before and I think those changes will help the city and make it a better place to live and better off economically.
    96
  25. You also see this in the EU where many train stations are also malls or at least decent shopping areas. One of the things I love is when I come back from an international trip I can stop at a grocery store in the train station on my way home and pick up some fresh groceries. I have heard that overall malls are doing fine in most of the EU because they are not car centric hellscapes and instead they are part of the cities and transit systems.

  26. Use nuclear power and build more nuclear reactors. If you want to see that this method works just look at France. Honestly who would have thought that France would beat Germany in engineering?
    93
  27. DDR5 looks like it would be great for scientific simulations. You are often pushing the CPU on all cores and bound by memory speed.

  28. Basically we have the worst possible voting system. The voting system is a large cause of polarization. Ranked choice, approval, and other methods are MUCH better and have been shown to reduce polarization and people are happier with their representatives. However, both parties are against this because it would directly destroy the power of both parties.

  29.  @Hi-cm1cj  this channel made a video on Biden pardoning his son being wrong. Most liberals said it was wrong. Don't say that it was ignored.
    78
  30.  @TheDoosh79  It all has to be paid for eventually. They are just hoping to skip out before the bill is due.
    75
  31.  @kadyrbekalibekov1941  one of the key points of justice is doing the right thing when it is hard. Very clearly this has shown that justice is not available through the court system.
    69
  32. Now if only the current admin was not interfering in the CDCs ability to deal with this problem right now. The part I worry about is that because of blocking information that we turn something that could have been avoided into a pandemic.
    67
  33. It won't matter. Even if you win it won't matter. You won't be able to enforce it because the exective branch will just refuse to enforce it.
    65
  34.  @_somerandomguyontheinternet_  that doesn't matter. It would have at least FORCED the supreme court to rule that Trump is above the law. It would have forced them to be on the record for saying that it doesn't matter what felonies Trump committed that he was above the law.
    61
  35. My issue with low code systems is when they fail they fail in opaque ways that are very difficult to understand. I have deal with some low code machine learning systems and when they don't work they just don't work. You can't really look and see where the system went wrong or why. Instead your only real option is to build a new machine learning model yourself and figure out why the basic models don't work and fix them. In the end my experience with low code is that it doesn't save any time. You can get a prototype up quickly, it looks like it works in the beginning, but you find far too many failure points and there is no way to address them so you have to do all the work yourself anyways. Honestly, most of them look like scams designed to impress venture capitalists and hope they don't look behind the curtain.

  36. This kind of thing is why I decided to stay in Germany after my PhD. I can get a nice 900 ft^2 apartment in the downtowns of most German cities, in a walkable neighborhood and near a train station for about $1400/month. If I moved back to the USA I would have to pay more to get less. I would also lose the walkable areas and that would mean my transit costs would be MUCH higher. I would have to make more than 3x what I do now to move back just to break even from the basic calculations I did.
    56
  37.  @korkee1111  $10/hour? You can make almost double that with benefits as an Amazon warehouse worker and that job is also not very good but at least pays better.
    56
  38. I recently got my coworkers to do more working meetings. We use vscode and live share so that others can join in and we actually discuss issues while actually looking at the code and also do this for group programming for some problems. It is amazing how much faster you get stuff done when you have a modeler, scientist, and numerics person all working together at the same time looking at the code.
    55
  39. Also, as has been pointed out, if you buy the expensive one it STILL HAS THIS GARBAGE. They don't want some of the money they want all of it. They want to monetize everything. If they could monetize your dreams they would do that also.
    50
  40. I don't see why we should have children. The world is setup against it. The price of housing just keeps going up compared to income. Rent is increasing without limits and many people I know become rent trapped. The people at the top take more and more of what is made than ever before. We even know that the majority of the increase in goods is increased profit taking by companies. It has nothing to do with inflation, labor costs, etc. What I see is that those at the top of capitalism have decided they want EVERYTHING for themselves. Even the way they are using AI is driving further inequality. They steal everything they can, pay nothing for it, and then use their power to monetize what they stole through their AI. I think many people see the game as broken and no longer want to play and not having kids is a way of not playing.

  41. Taiwan is a country. It has its own government, borders, police, military, trade etc. This should not be a big deal to just recognize that. The rest of the world should just recognize Taiwan as a country. China is just being stupid here. They have a lot more to gain by just recognizing Taiwan and having better trade relations. This whole issue seems to exist because China has some weird honor thing going on about Taiwan instead of actually making a rational decision.
    49
  42. Just admit the court is a political organization. The justices make their rulings based on their personal politics and then twist the laws to justify their position. This should just be recognized and the country structure changed to make it more balanced.
    48
  43. I think Apple will try to evade these rules. I also think the EU is not paying around and the environmental and societal costs of the kind of behavior that Apple is showing is quite high. Trying to evade this is likely to carry some extreme costs. Basically play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
    48
  44. He lied. That is what most of these judges do. They lie and make whatever decision they want regardless of what the law says.

  45. Actually when I saw how badly conservatives freaked out about this movie I decided that I will definitely watch it later once it hits streaming or I just pick up the disc.

  46. She should take Trump Tower, Mar a Lago, and his Family home first. Take stuff that will HURT.
    42
  47. Part of the problem I see with having people so old in power is you don't really make an experienced set of people to replace them. They don't serve their time and then step aside for others. It seems to be very hard to actually have someone with good idea that comes in, serves a few terms, and then can actually get higher positions but it seems those positions are just taken for decades. Part of the reason I see for having such poor candidates for president is just that so many of the politicians are so old.
    42
  48.  @TheOfficialArthurMorgan  The solar and wind parts worked BETTER than the fossil fuel parts. The problem is Texas not the type of energy. They did not weatherize anything. The natural gas lines froze which then shut down the natural gas plants. The main failures the renewables had was back of basic weatherizing and the grid failing. Texas just likes to blame it on renewables. Here is the harsh truth. Texas is not going to fix this. When the power grid failed those companies made enormous profits. They are going to keep doing this and keep raking in profits from this.

  49. There is one cruise I am interested in. There is one that goes up the coast of Norway. It doesn't have a pool, casinos, shopping maul, etc. It does apparently have a library on board. They are electric and recharge when they dock. They also don't dump waste in the water. They are supposed to be amazing for seeing the northern lights in the winter. Apparently they are also mail ships and a form of mass transit for the coastal towns.
    41
  50.  @SioxerNikita  part of the reason that the federal government stopped trying people for marijuana crimes in Colorado and other states was because of jury nullification. Fairly often the juries would just find the person not guilty regardless of the evidence because the laws are seen to be unjust. I don't see any way the constitution is going to be changed for this.
    41
  51. Most people I know that got vaccinated also care about other people. My friends that are worried about the delta variant are not worried about themselves. They are worried about children, grandchildren and others that are too young to be vaccinated. A vaccine might make it so you don't get seriously sick and die from covid but you can still pass it on to your young children which has a lot of parents worried.
    38
  52. I like work from home in Germany. I don't have a commute but my hours have not changed and I am not expected to be available at all hours. I am pretty sure I legally have the right to just turn all of that stuff off outside working hours. It even looks like work from home is going to be extended beyond covid to save energy because of the war in Ukraine.
    38
  53. I can't imagine the law actually matters. The supreme court is going to allow him to do whatever he wants. When it comes down to it nobody actualy has the power to stop him.
    36
  54. What I don't get is why universities are treating this as a threat that needs so much violence. It seems they could just largely ignore it or even give in on some issues like divesting from weapon manufacturers. It seems that other protests have had FAR less violence against the protestors. The violence only seems like it is going to make the situation worse.
    36
  55. I see more and more things I am supposed to do my research about. I see people talk about all the basic things that everyone should know. I have a full time job. There is no way I am going to know all of this stuff. There should be some basic requirements that they sell you something and it works.
    35
  56. Living in a walkable city is so much nicer than car centric areas. I live in a city where I can walk anywhere and I don't ever want to go back to cars.
    35
  57. That global system library one is definitely an annoying issue. Windows improved a LOT when more applications just had their own copies of libraies locally. On Linux the problem is a big enough issue that we have entire software projects that basically deal with this issue. Things like conda not only create custom python environments they ALSO allow you to have custom libraries for your application separate from the rest of the system. There are also all those tools we use on servers to dynamically swap around environments. This is just so much easier on Windows or Mac by comparison. Each program should be in its own directory with its own bin, lib, etc directories.
    34
  58. 4) Trump doesn't like to pay the people that do stuff for him and running a social media system is VERY expensive and takes a lot of very qualified people. Highly qualified people don't work for Trump 5) The social media platform they are using is licensed under the AGPL and they have already violated the terms of the license and a lawsuit is already being worked on.
    34
  59.  @Tuppoo94  And yet all of those fees are a less productive use of the land than putting a shop there or adding more housing. There is a reason that cities around the world are moving away from cars. They are less productive for the city that other things are. I am aware that cars cost a lot. Even at what they cost it is not enough. You can see that cities that have done more to cut back on cars are doing better.
    34
  60. We have the best supreme court that money can buy! We are so screwed.
    34
  61. These apps are very destructive. I am pretty happy that they have basically made no progress in Germany. People almost always just go get their food and usually just sit down and eat it and talk for hours. The apps mostly look like a good way to make your life even worse.
    33
  62.  TurtleChad1  I agree that it was not good but I also don't think that any other options are left. These companies have managed to rig the laws in their favor to make what they are doing legal. They are responsible for MILLIONS of deaths that they PROFIT from. Since the justice system does not provide any justice the expected outcome is for people to seek justice on their own.
    31
  63. I would love seeing an episode on approval testing. I have been working on a system that was in a pretty bad state and we used a combination of approval testing and testing for some of the modules we could easily isolate as a first pass of tests. We then started refactoring the code but all the new code had tests written to specifically cover it. As we cleaned up the system the test coverage go better and the defect rates dropped. We also follow a boy scout type principle of leaving the code in a better state any time you touch it. So if you are working in a module and you see some bad code clean up a function or two, add some tests, etc. as part of your normal work. We went from merging about once per year into the master branch with numerous bugs to being able to do it several times per day and no failures in many months. Most branches now are very short lived before they merge back in. The situation is still not ideal with a CI/CD standpoint but it sure is a LOT better. I used many things I have learned from your channel in guiding this process.

  64. Most trucks today are for roleplaying.

  65. Also Sony's fault that on their website (that they just changed) they said that PSN accounts are OPTIONAL for PC titles. If someone read that and then tried the game they could easily think that a PSN account was optional. Especially, as you pointed out, Sony chose to sell the games in regions where you can't get a PSN account. To me this looks like fraud. They chose to sell the game in regions where it would not be legal to play it. If PSN was always intended to be a requirement it should have never been sold in regions where you can't open a PSN account.

  66. We have the best government that money can buy.

  67. What I could see working for cities is focusing on residential and things to go with it. So things like places to eat, activities, nice parks and places to relax. They would be cheaper to live in and easy to get around.
    29
  68. You can't fault a developer for removing something that is that unreliable in working correctly. Having things sit for 3 years without a decision is absurdly slow. Honestly my experience with a Linux desktop has been less reliable than Windows. That did not used to be the case but it sure seems to be more buggy now than it was a decade ago.

  69. Isn't he also the guy that divorced one of his wives while she was dying of cancer in the hospital?
    28
  70. I agree with you 100%. At work I make software for aiding in manufacturing medicine. I have a 100% unit test policy on all of the code. We also have tests designed to catch if the final answers from the system drift over time. It is not acceptable for me to say I didn't know because I didn't check. It is my JOB to KNOW and that means I must check and I must check in a way to try and prevent these issues from EVER happening. If a mistake does make it through then a new test is added along with the fix to make sure it can't happen again and then a root cause analysis is done to try and make sure that similar issues can't happen.
    28
  71. Do you know what helped my wellness? Moving to Germany and having more vacation time and fewer worked hours per week. Living somewhere that I could just walk to the store or places to eat. Somewhere that is MUCH quieter.
    26
  72.  @itsomethingreat  It also broke the back of nobility and dramatically increased freedoms of the remaining people. It was horrible but it led to much better lives long term.
    25
  73. Developers should unionize. The ONLY way you are going to be treated fairly is by working with others to force companies to treat you fairly.
    24
  74. I am currently living and working in Germany with friends and family back in the USA. My experience is that on average people in Germany are doing better than in the USA. Affording a place to live is easier, food it cheaper, health care is more available, etc. Those tech companies have huge GDP numbers to the point whey they make up a signnificant portion of the GDP but they put very little money into the economy. Mostly it is a few people that get insanely rich. I think that is part of the problem. The wealthy in the USA are taking nearly all the gains so the super wealthy are better off but normal people are worse off.
    23
  75.  @octochan  Honestly I just prefer to wear all black. It is nice and simple. I have black shirts with collars, black shorts, black long pants, etc. and just pick whatever is suitable for the weather. I have never been cool or fashionable in my entire life and I am not about to start now.
    23
  76. One of the things I find interesting is that there have been so many other books series about children learning to be wizards that I think had much better lessons. Somehow it was Harry Potter that gained all the attention. Overall I think that just seeing Harry Potter as a fun story but definitely don't take moral lessons from it because that does not lead down a good path.
    23
  77.  @The_Gallowglass  Where I live in Germany a one bedroom apartment is about 500 euro per month. That includes heating, hot water, and some other things and power is about 50 euro per month usually. You also don't need a car in many places. I can walk to the city center in about 10 minutes.
    22
  78. Thanks for this video. I had looked at this "study" and we had just decided it didn't apply to us. All of my work is scientific software and we don't understand the problem until we start working on it. Sometimes we don't even know exactly what problem we need to solve before we seriously sit down and start working on it. Agile works quite well for us but this idea of knowing everything in advance and having some kind of a timetable is just utterly unrealistic.
    22
  79.  @aaroncousins4750  Using a SWAT team should be illegal in a situation like that. It makes you think that maybe your house should have defenses to protect you against the police and walls and doors that are FAR more durable.
    21
  80. What I am weary of is people not getting vaccinated. I am tired of this pandemic just stretching on and on because people "did their own research" by reading stuff on Facebook and other social media sites and deciding against getting vaccinated. If you want to live in society then get vaccinated. Also don't hide behind religion because none of the major religions are against vaccines and many of them have come out and said it is your religious duty to get vaccinated.
    21
  81. If people had to pay the full lifecycle costs of these garments they would not be so cheap. They are only cheap because the companies don't have to pay to fix the damage they cause. This is just a classic issue of externalized costs. These companies don't really make the economy better.
    21
  82. One thing that SAFe has been good at is giving me cover to introduce more agile methods to our process. We are definitely not fully there because that is just too much stuff to change quickly but our processes keep getting better over time and our results continue to improve.
    21
  83.  @katherinemclean1448  It is not happening in Germany. The German news has talked about it happening in the USA and Germans have asked me about it.

  84.  @madjunir  People are following the incentives they have. Billionaires have made it much harder to afford to live and made it very clear they are going to keep making it worse. You need more education than ever but a lower payback on it. When it really comes down to it having kids is NOT a rational decision right now. If you want people to have kids the system needs to encourage it.

  85.  @The_Gallowglass  in Germany tipping is not a thing. The workers are paid a fair wage, they get 25 - 30 days of paid vacation per year, health care, retirement and other things. I am not sure what they are paid but the ones I know have their own apartments. The weird part is the food is not really any more expensive. They don't even care how long you sit there after you are done eating.
    19
  86. I agree with you entirely. Machine learning models are not magical. They don't train themselves. They don't design themselves. We do that. We intentionally design these systems and train them and then use them. The people that put these things into usage are the ones responsible for the outcomes of the machine learning models. I use machine learning models for scientific usage (approximating complex math equations) and it is my responsibility to test them and verify they work correctly before using them in applications and I am responsible for all the outcomes of them.
    19
  87. Even simple tasks can have massively wrong time estimates. I worked on something recently that I thought would take just a few hours and instead it took 3 days to do. Once I was actually building the system I noticed that the data I was working with had a number of mathematical properties that made the problem much harder to solve. Trying to do that analysis ahead of time to come up with an estimate would have been most of the time to solve the problem. At least in my case, nobody really cared that it took longer they just cared that it was as correct as we could reasonably make it.

  88. Protest votes don't exist. If you vote for a party you are supporting that party and what it does. The myth of a protest vote spread around Brexit and the vote was real and the damage it did was real.
    18
  89. The issue I see is I don't think they can survive their own policies. If they really do get rid of things like the department of education, they turn women into baby makers, etc. I would expect that to gut the ability of tech companies and other companies to operate. I don't see how they keep making all of that money when they kill off the workforce needed.

  92. If it makes you feel better I did my PhD working on computer models for making some of the most difficult to make medicines in the world. Those models are being used in companies to improve the medicines that we use. Some of this research really is useful and works and is being used to help people. Also, some of the strangest research turned out to be useful. I remember reading about a group that did research with kethcup and honey in tubes in order to try and make better tubing for medical procedures. It turns out that honey and ketchup are EXTREMELY cheap and they did not want to test with blood until they where much further along. In the end they came up with better materials for tubing so that your cells are far less likely to get caught on the tubing and rip open. They saved many lives but if you read the research it sure sounds silly.

While California is run by Democrats at pretty much all levels the state policies are not actually very liberal. Mostly they are just weird and dumb but not really liberal or conservative. Policies in Germany are FAR more liberal than California and it is also much better run.

If you vote for Jill Stein it is the SAME THING as voting for Trump. The math for our voting system is pretty simple. We have the worst possible voting system that can be created and this is the unfortunate reality of it.

For instance oil executives have been recorded in shareholder calls about how they are making more money than ever before in history and they think they can continue to raise prices. Workers are not getting that money. It is just a wealth transfer from regular people to the ultra wealthy. Apparently more of them need to be rich enough to run their own space program.

  100. It sounds to me like the cops involved should have been charged with murder and put in jail. Actually, we need laws to strongly curtail the use of police violence. It should be illegal to escalate a situation beyond the minimum force required. Using a SWAT team without evidence of violence is WAY over the line. A police officer should not be allowed to even unholster their gun unless the situation calls for deadly force. So long as the person is not presenting an imminent threat to yourself or others there is no justification for that. If an officer pulls out their gun that immediately escalates the situation to deadly force and you should be allowed to use any method at your disposal to kill them first if you can. At that point they stop being police in my eyes and are just armed thugs.

  101. I work with Python extensively for my job. We usually reserve comments to explain why something is done not what is done. Especially for scientific and engineering code it can really help to have a comment on where the math in a function comes from or why the math is there. We also heavily use the Python system and to further improve we often use dataclasses for input and output for functions with more complicated inputs and outputs. This is much better than a dictionary and it works as a contract for the function that other systems can rely on. For scientific and engineering code python fits extremely well because there are so many good libraries for Python to solve these types of problems. The libraries also tend to be highly optimized so you pay very little performance penalty for using Python. I especially love libraries like numba because you can compile Python code under certain circumstances to high performance code.

  104. Scientists are in this position all the time. During research you learn information but in order to learn that information you had to learn a LOT of other stuff which allows it to be safely used. A large part of the danger of info hazards is they divorce the dangerous knowledge from all the related information. There is a lot of science that is not shared as a result or shared in a way that the public can't understand it on purpose. What do you think some people would do with knowledge of genes that related to homosexuality? Do you think they would consider the consequences, or all the other gene interactions involved? What if that is also tied to human fertility? What other things do you think we have learned about genetics that could do great evil in the wrong hands and great good in people that have had to work to acquire the knowledge? Knowledge that comes too easy and without a price is more likely to be abused.

  113. We have also been on the precipice of self-driving cars for more than 10 years and progress has nearly stopped. It was easy to get to about 95% but getting beyond that has proven to be insanely hard. These LLMs are already hitting the same point. In the hands of a skilled coder they can assist but they don't understand. Most of the code they generate is wrong to various degrees and when an LLM is questioned about the code it is pretty clear it has no understanding of what is being asked. Remember LLMs are probability models where they predict the next most likely word. They don't actually understand the question being asked. I think they will get better as assistants but won't be able to replace. There are some companies that already tried to do all the work with LLMs and no coders and they failed. I think they will continue to fail.

We have billionaires that complain that their $800 million yacht is no longer the most expensive in the world. If you really want to see something depressing you should watch a john oliver piece on trailer parks. A guy become a billionaire by buying up trailor parks and then jacking the rent up. He produced nothing of value, huge numbers of people lost their homes, many more can't find one as a result and did quite a lot to fuel the housing shortages. He personally made billions doing it. Noting of value was produced, he is just a parasite.

  119. Over the last year my experience with TDD has been extremely positive. I stared working on a project that merged about once per year and had many bugs so changes where rare and it was difficult to work on. I started adding tests to the project and slowing fixed it. We are now able to merge multiple times per week and have not had anything major break in over half a year. We have had a few minor problems that where quickly sorted out and new tests added to catch them. I am not saying the code base is completely tested at this point but as we continue to add more tests development just keeps getter faster. Probably the biggest change is that by having to write tests for the code it has forced some of the code to be rewritten to be more functional and easy to test. This also had the side effect of making software composition easier to do and a GREAT deal of code was removed.

It is entirely possible he would lead to a civil war or just try to end elections.

They make a lot of movies and series that really seem to be designed for the kind of thing I enjoy watching and not many other companies make that content.

  126. What other option is there? If you write your own custom logging library the odds of doing it securely is close to zero. The attacks are sophisticated enough now that many custom solutions get broken into pretty quickly. What companies need to do is actually fund the development of this software. This was originally a small project and these developers made a library to solve their own problems. Thousands of companies used it and contributed nothing back. Now they want those same developers to fix it for free and they want them to do it immediately and they don't want to contribute to it.

  127. As a senior dev I normally enforce that people have tests to cover all of their code before I will process their merge back into the development branch. I also look at their code for maintainability and to make sure it solves the actual problem. I have found that most of the self-taught programmers just want to throw something up and move on and while it is fast for them in that moment it is too slow for the projects. My experience is that the time spent debugging later completely swamps the time it would take them to do a better job. I actively work to train the people I work with to be better programmers with feedback and pair programming sessions. However, some people actually seem hostile to learning and this creates a lot of problems. Their code quality is bad, it does not get better, and it creates maintenance problems.

  128. The only AI type tech I have seen work has been advanced regression models, such as interpolating a partial differential equation millions of times faster than solving it. Also things like material science, protein folding, plasma containment and others are working really well. These applications are boring, we know how and why they work, and they work reliably. I would also say that generative AI works really well for assisting with code. It works as a pair programmer when combined with unit tests but it can't be used on its own.

  130. Approval testing has been extremely useful for me. We took code that had no testing and added approval tests to the system. Once we did that we refactored piece by piece and added unit tests as we broke things up. As we went we found real bugs and would then discuss fixing them and what impact that would have on usage of the system. We could then fix that bug, update the approval tests, and repeat the process. It worked well and I don't know of any other method that would have worked as well to deal with the spaghetti mess of code.

  132. The log4j team is some people working in their free time. They are not paid for this. They created a piece of software that solved a problem they had and made it available to anyone. They also created a way to donate to the developers if you wanted to help actually fund the development which almost nobody did. Companies decided to use this software and contributed nothing back and also did not do anything to check it. Imagine if you wrote something that solved a problem you had and made it available for others to use. Years later you find out that huge companies were using your software and they are demanding that you fix a security problem immediately even though they have never paid you a dime.

  134. I work on HPC software and I remember a professor I had said you could use c,c++, or even python for the code but if you wrote the code in java he would throw you out the window. He was also not wrong on that when we looked at the numerical performance. Every version of BLAS I have encountered for Java is much slower than the ones available for c based languages. Often 10s to 100s of times slower. However, Python makes it easy to hand off all that heavy lifting to c and c++ while Java calling to a c based BLAS is also slow. So it is easy to get code working and correct in Python and then update the algorithm to be efficient and then push off the performance to lower level languages by calling existing high performance libraries. That is why we have things like numpy, tensorflow, and torch.
    9
  135. The comments I like the most are ones that tell me why and where something comes from. So if you are implementing a scientific algorithm writing down what paper you are implementing is REALLY important. Another common one is if you had to do external calculations for something. For example if you have done optimization and profiling to come up with some settings for a solver then it is really useful to write down why those solver settings are used and where the testing was done.

  142.  @butterflykite7647 If you are traveling internationally, I have sometimes had cards declined until I called the bank because they thought it might be a fraudulent transaction because of the location. Having some cash on hand is REALLY useful. This is more likely to happen when you first arrive and may not even have an easy way to call the bank yet due to international roaming. Also who are you to decide what is excessive? It is none of your business or the police's business if you are carrying cash or not or for what purpose.

  145. I have a strange experience with respect to Python performance. Most of the time in production systems I run into Python is faster than Java or C++ even though those languages are easily faster in microbenchmarks. I suspect the issue is that Python makes it easy and standard to hand off the harder computations to standard libraries like Pandas. Numpy, Scipy, Torch, etc. and also that on real systems data structures are so extremely important and Python makes that easier than Java or C++. I know for sure that I can write C++ code that is much faster than Python code but I also know that I had formal training in doing that. Most people don't have that training and without that they often struggle to make something as fast.

  148. When working with older code the policy we use now is based on boy scout rules. Leave the code cleaner than you found it. So if you go work on some old code add some unit tests to the part you are working oon. if you see some really bad code take the opportunity to clean it up a little, if reasonable, and add tests for it. Take that function that is 500 lines long and break it up into many functions with a much clearer interface for each one and then test them. I have found this actually ends up working quite rapidly to fix and older code base.

  151.  @nickjcresswell  I would agree with this. It seems some of the agile coaches I have run into just want to follow SAFe to the letter and that ends up frustrating people enormously. I love CI/CD, testing, KANBAN, and even the daily standups can be useful. The people we have on our team are all specialists. Usually there is only one person that can do any one item in the backlog so doing some kind of group backlog refinement is not very useful. Prioritizing tasks also tends to not be very useful since you don't do the next higher priority task instead you do the next highest priority task that you are capable of doing. We also have other teams who build things to make the highly technical team more effective. There is no real reason to plan more than a few weeks ahead at most because you don't truly know what is coming up. Instead a KANBAN approach and keeping people updated helps respond quickly. Code quality is really important because technical debt really slows down the process.

Even though most of them are making more money than ever before they still fired lots of people. However, in the EU, almost none of the employees where fired. The only tech company I know of that fired a bunch of people in the EU was Twitter and that has a court case winding through the court system that Elon is going to lose BADLY.

However, if we want to get off coal, natural gas, and Russia right now then nuclear is the best option.

  162.  @averagedemocrat9546  That would require a constitutional amendment which has a 0% chance of happening. That would probably also be a dangerous thing to do because if there was a real emergency like an actual world war that could make dealing with it very difficult. In the end the USA needs higher taxes, less military spending, universal health care, and the removal of a fair bit of waste due to duplicated programs that the CBO identifies every few years.

  163. We have been using copilot to assist with code writing for a while now. I would also say that you are mostly correct about the long term problem. I find that the people that are pure programmers have a hard time using the AI to assist them effectively and that some of them don't seem to be getting better at writing code over time regardless of the AI. One of the big issues is the junior developers like to write giant functions. What I have found is that people that are engineers or scientists that also write code have been writing MUCH better code using copilot. I has made reviewing their code much better and for some reason they are also improving their quality of code. I don't know why but the engineers and scientists I work with follow the idea of writing much shorter functions that basically do one thing and make sure to test all code paths and their code has gotten better but the people that are pure programmers have not.

  164. I often end up going back and forth between the code for a function and the test for it. I work with a lot of numerical libraries and sometimes I am not sure of what the output for something is that I need. For example what is the shape of an array that will result from a function call and how is the data in it arranged. I often find myself making a tiny function and a minimal test just so I can see the code do something and I can verify if it is called correctly. I then tend to flesh out the test a bit to cover what I think the function should accomplish. I then go to implement that in the function. Sometimes I find that the way I wrote the test has results in a very poor design in the function and that with a few changes to the test I can make the function cleaner. Sometimes I find out I need to split out some parts of the function into multiple functions. I find that tests really help with the design process.

  173. One of the things I have realized is that most of the problems Linus has with Linux is due to lack of feedback. The desktop is doing something but seems to provide no feedback on what it is doing or what the progress is. In KDE you should be able to see that in the lower righthand corner if you know what to look for but I have also had issues before where a file just shows as copied immediately when it clearly has not. This is probably something that cuts across all the challenges so far. Linux needs to get much better at feedback.

  177. I don't see a viable path towards Linux on the desktop right now. There was a time where people could go to the store and buy Redhat, Mandrake, Suse etc. but none of those are sold in stores anymore. The problem I see is this idea of eating your own dogfood for software development. Most of the developers are advanced and use more advanced distros and the work is just not put into making a good solid desktop for newbies. Linux works great on servers but the people that develop it for servers also use it for servers. Even pointing out that zipping a file up should give you some kind of feedback beyond a weird file extension gets quite a lot of hate. Linux does not need to work like Windows but it does need a more unified way of working. If you want desktop ideas that are VERY different and resulted in a nice to work with desktop maybe look for inspiration from OS/2. In the end most if the issues come down to the same small polishing pieces missing. There is a general lack of feedback on what the system is doing. Also the core OS really should be separated from all the other packages. There really should be no way that installing a user package could cause the removal of core OS components.

  179. I would have to say yes also because the question has ever in it. It is like a question would you ever kill another person. Certainly not in any normal situation but ever implies infinite possibilities. Is there some situation weird enough that you would kill another person and the answer for probably every person is yes. I do not think it is currently justified to take violent action against the government but if one day they decided that soylent green is a great idea I can see a case for violence at that point. The more important part is not letting it get to that point.

  181. Reddit is already losing money. This action is causing them to lose users. This action is also going to cause many communities to become cesspools without the ability to actually moderate a lot of the content. Why would this be a good investment? Why would anyone invest in a company that is losing money and users?

  188. @luke5100 I don't dispute it is a timesaver however at the same time it is also very stupid. It doesn't understand what it is doing and no amount of prompt writing changes that. There are quite a few research papers on this already. You are correct that the more narrowly the scope of something is the more likely it is to succeed but that also very clearly moves it into assistant and not something that can be used without programmers. I would say that on scientfic and engineering code if I have it write a 5-10 loc function it will usually get about 80% or so of it correct but you better know how to write that function yourself or you are never going to be able to correct it.

  192. We made car centric hellscapes. You can only get places by cars and that means the barrier to do things is quite high. I am currently living in Germany and social life seems to have recovered here and in other European countries quite quickly. People have gone back to walking to the pub, they have gone back to having a sandwich at a bakery and meeting friends. The last few times I have visited friends and family in the USA I have had to ask people to put away their phones while out having dinner together. Even though I see some of these people only once per year and we went out to dinner together they just can't manage to stop doing stuff on their cell phone. This is not something I have run into in Europe.

  194. I read recently that the most common non-competes are not in high wage employees. They are for the lowest paid workers. Most larger companies dropped non-competes for their skilled workers. It seems that retail and fast food are some of the biggest places for non-competes and it is done to keep people from quitting. Fast food places define every other places that serves food as competing so if you quit working at XX burger place you can't go get a job at YY burger place or ZZ taco place. It is evil and it should be illegal.

  195. It makes me feel better that I have very little interaction with social media or reality tv. I got on youtube to learn interesting things. Social media just doesn't look important to me. If it all shut down tomorrow I don't think it would impact my life. I have also not seen people just recording everything around them all the time. That would be really weird.

  196. From what I have been reading it seems Starfield does not batch the IO very well. A VERY fast nvme can mitigate this almost entirely but it is still there. Apparently they need to batch the reads a bit more and need a large queue depth. It also seems there are a couple issues related to not aligning memory correctly for allocations and poor usage of indirect calls. The last two issues are due to the new dx12 renderer they added for Starfield. It seems that the AMD driver already accounts for this problem. It is likely that Nvidia can make the same changes and it should also be possible to improve the engine. Overall though I am loving the game. Even if the game is not at a high frame rate it feels very consistent so I don't get any hitching behavior. I am playing on an RTX 4080 at 4K on Ultra. I have not had a single crash (except when I tried to use the DLSS 3 FG mod and that is not Starfield's fault). I have encountered almost no bugs in the game and I have about 60 hours in it at this point.

  197. This is the important part. Violence is not currently justified. The question is open ended though and is basically about the infinite possibilities of what could happen and if violence could ever be justified. Maybe we make first contact with aliens and our leaders sell us all into slavery to maintain their own power. Violence would be justified at that point. I think the odds of that happening are close to zero but I can see a possibility that violence might be justified.

  198. The best wedding I ever went to was one for my cousin. They had a normal DJ that played country and western music, people wore normal clothes, there was dancing and lots of buffet type food. It was MUCH cheaper than a normal wedding and a LOT more fun.

  199. I am tired of gravity. I just want to fly but it turns out gravity is not tired of me. It won't even allow me to make a decision and opt out of it. We got lucky with Omicron. Maybe it will mutate again and become mostly harmless but there is no reason to believe it will at this point. There is also every reason to believe that Omicron kills just as effectively as Delta does long term it just doesn't kill you in the hospital immediately from a severe respiratory problem. This is nature. You don't get to decide when you are done. Nature decides when you are done.

  200. I love work from home. My boss also loves work from home. I don't have any commute anymore. I have more time for other activities. I still go out to eat, get haircuts, etc. just in a different place. I am lucky because my company has made it very clear they have no intention of forcing people to return to the office. If your job can be done remotely and you want to do it remotely then go ahead and do it. It has really helped us recruit some good people.
    6
  201. Also really important is that security is better this way. Everyone writing their own version of a logging library means a lot more exploits but less likely to have one that spreads as widely. I can't imagine trying to write any non-trivial piece of code if you have to implement everything yourself. It would take 10x longer to develop at least. It would run MUCH slower and it would be far less secure.
    6
  202. Meanwhile in Europe people still want to live in cities even if they work remotely. That is because many of the cities are walkable and provide easy access to stores, restaurants, entertainment, etc. They also have easy access to transportation to get where you want to go without needing a car. Remote work is hurting USA cities because our cities are bad. The traffic is horrible and will ALWAYS be horrible because they focus on cars to get everywhere and you can't move that many people between where they live and their jobs with something as inefficient as a car. They take up too much space and their throughput is far too low.

  204.  @traveller23e  I normally push for only the flexibility actually required. I don't do interfaces for something until I have two use cases so I can make an interface to do that job. Otherwise you are just building an abstraction without a usage case and you don't know exactly where and what kind of flexibility you need. If you make it more flexible than is needed you also make your life and everyone else that uses the code much harder because the code will have a higher conceptual burden.

  205.  @tylerarrigoni7700  Just a few hours ago I worked with a junior developer that was complaining about how hard testing some of the code was. I helped them factor it into more, smaller, methods and they got all the tests done about half an hour later and found some bugs in the process. I am a firm believer in testing because it forces you to make the code better.
    6
  206. For some problems I have even found it effective to have 5 or so people working together on the same piece of code at the same time. It allows me to get the various engineers and scientists together and once while writing particularly difficult pieces of code so we can make sure that code does what it needs to do with everyone involved right there to ask questions. Trying to make all the requirements specific enough to completely code them up without needing those people present turned out to take more time than just having them coding together.

  210.  @blackjackjester  Twitter is a small social media company. More people use reddit than twitter. They are also insignificant compared to youtube, facebook, instagram, tiktok etc. Nothing that happens on it matters. He did not kick over any sandcastles for elite people. He has been treating engineers badly and you would know this if you talked to engineers that know people involved. Most engineers I know already refuse to work for any of Elon's other companies despite attempts to recruit them multiple times because they have a reputation of being very bad places to work.

  211.  @ookamiblade6318  This kind of thing makes me sad. Part of the reason I like Germany is that markets are close to where people live. Most can walk to a bakery or market within 5 minutes. I understand how much these apps help you but we have made the places we live into car infested hellscapes and that is a large part of the reason for why you need these apps.

  212.  @lamename2010  when the tradeoff to use shared libraries was made I think it made a lot of sense.

  215. I really hope the writers get a fairer share of the money the industry is making. However, I also have to acknowledge they could be on strike for a LONG time before I would really notice.

I have so many movies I have not even watched yet.

  219. I have mostly considered myself pretty moderate because my views on issues have tend to span across the left and right but not in a simple way of taking the left or right view on an issue but something a bit more nuanced. Increasingly I find myself considered much further left because the bar seems to have moved so much. On immigration I don't think we should have open borders, we should know everyone that has come into the country, at the same time we need to make it much easier for highly qualified people to come to the USA and work and easily bring their families over. For medicine I would like the government to work with companies to fund more of the research and buy the medicine if it works and then the government can contract out the manufacturing. I was born in the USA and lived almost my entire life in the USA but have lived the last 7 years in Germany and here most of my ideas are just considered sane and many of them are standard practice. Here I am quite moderate. In Germany the government covered payroll for companies for the pandemic. People did not have to file for unemployment, they did not lose their jobs, healthcare, houses etc. As conditions improved people just went back to work. Stores operated at reduced capacity but still functioned. Companies made what they could and the government made up the difference. This method was CHEAPER than how the USA handled it and with FAR fewer problems. To me this idea is not liberal or conservative, it is the approach an engineer would take to fix the problem. To me this is a moderate idea.

  220.  @SioxerNikita  it turns out that while legislators and regulators don't want to hold them accountable there are citizens that do want to hold them accountable. There have been pushes for law changes for a long time and politicians stop it every time. They even overturn when voters force through laws.

  221. I almost entirely agree with you. When I first started working I was spending about 95% of my time debugging code that I inherited. However, as I wrote more unit tests and cleaned up the code that has dropped to less than 5% of the time and most of the time is spent on actual development. Features are delivered faster and the bug rate has dropped to almost nothing. The ones area I don't entirely agree with is when doing software based on math modeling it can often be worth it to take some additional time to go over the math design and check all the assumptions, stability, ways of solving it, alternative approaches, etc. I have run into too many cases where someone just started implementing a model with some pretty bad consequences. I like iterative coding and delivery but I really want to at least try and make sure the math we are going to implement is the right math to solve the problem we really have.

  222. You are probably a lot more right than you think. I was reading recently that if employees make enough money from tips they can be classified as tipped employees and companies can pay them far below the minimum wage with the idea that tips bring them up. Of course prices won't drop and the company just basically pockets most of the money they had to pay in wages. It is quite evil.

  223.  @bwofficial1776  The VAST majority of them never tow anything. They have worse capacity than older Subaru station wagons.

  225. We have been requiring it also for engineers and scientists and it has seriously improved the quality of their code. I even ran a tutoring session recently on how to use it more effectively. I focused on having them write functions with specific names that do one thing and use type hints in python for the arguments and return values with an expected function size of about 5-10 lines of code. The weird part is that for people that are just programmers they do worse with it. I still don't have a good idea for why.

  231.  @c.augustedupin8860  If a country does something, like recognizing that Taiwan is a country, that China doesn't like then China cuts off trade. Doesn't that mean if China does something we don't like that we should cut off trade? So, if China is using slave labor with the Uyghur's to produce items and we don't like that then isn't it completely okay for us to cut off trade as a result, at least in the products made with that labor? China has even threatened countries that have said they will Boycott the Olympics. If it is okay to do that then why is it not okay for other countries not to buy Chinese goods? I am not saying that China should be forced to change and not trading with them anymore or cutting trade back is not forcing them.

  234.  @SPeeSimon  I work on writing scientific models for making medicine. We have people that may know more about the kinetics, others that know more about the equipment, others that know more about the math needed, and others that are better at coding. Sometimes to solve part of the problem it really does work faster to get 4-5 people together and just code together so that all the issues can be addressed. Just having people write out the requirements for each of the parts and letting the programmer figure out how to satisfy all of them has not worked. Trying to just have meeting to discuss things is not specific enough to actually code. So a working coding meeting is more productive.

  238. That isn't how math works. If you pay 50% of your wage you then have 50% left. If you spend 100% of your remaining money on things subject to VAT that would be 10% of your original income which works out to 60%. However, most of your costs are not subject to VAT. Things like power, water, rent, etc. so you are actually much closer to about 53% total taxes. That also includes your health care, retirements, and other things.

  240. At first I thought it was strange to pay to use the bathrooms in Germany. One of the things I realized is the bathrooms are MUCH better maintained. This really only applies in places like train stations. Usually businesses in the train station also have a bathroom credit if you buy something. The price is normally 50 cents or 1 euro. This kind of stuff does not apply to restraunts, movie theaters, trains, etc. All of those bathrooms are free since you are paying to go into those places.

  245.  @johnenerio6453  And yet there are Biotech companies which deal with a LOT more sensitive information that are able to run completely remotely for many of their workers. They are able to trust them not to abuse working at home and they are able to keep data from leaking out. There are a lot of companies that work on data that has to be secure and manage to support work from home and have it work. Game companies probably want everyone there physically so it is easier to force people to work extreme hours and abuse workers in general.

  246. What we need is the same protections that other engineers have. If I have legal responsibility for the quality of the code I also need the legal authority to be able to do that. It is easy for management to create a system where you can't have good code. They don't support it in any way and they undermine any efforts to make better code and they actively refuse to learn about these issues so that they are not held accountable. They will just claim they didn't know their practices where making bad code. If you try to stand up for this you will be fired and it can be a lot harder to get another job after that. Mostly what I see is management wants the work done right now and they don't care how it is done so long as it gets done and you can't have additional resources.

  252. I find that once you get beyond the really poor programmers I have a hard time rating one programming as better than another. Mostly because the knowledge ends up so specialized that it takes a group of people to do anything. I work on scientific and engineering software which involves a lot of complicated math and the skills needed to solve it, optimize it, improve the math, etc. are just pretty specialized and nobody can do it all by themselves. Who is the better programming between the person that wrote the solver and the person that numerically stabilized the math?

  253. It is pretty obvious that if you are rich or powerful enough laws just don't apply to you. You can even try to overthrow the country and there will still be no penalty. Maybe we should just write into the law that if you have more than X billions of dollars the other laws just don't apply to you anymore. At least it would be more honest. Realistically, I expect more vigilante justice to be server to the rich and powerful. They have eliminated lawful avenues of justice and so I expect more unlawful ones to be used.

  254. In my org we follow a boyscout principle is leaving the code better than when you started. So if you notice something in the code that needs to be cleaned up a bit and the time commitment is not large then go ahead and clean it up. Over time this has a huge impact on improving code quality.

Their value is debt fueled growth and there is nowhere else to grow. They have all the customers they can possible get and so now they are pushing for higher monetization and people are leaving. I think that most tech companies have been a net harm to the economy. They make the GDP numbers go up but they also cause a lot of societal damage that is not easily captured or fixed. I think that biotech has a much better future.

What I see is that cars and suburbs have sucked away a lot of resources and have a high maintenance cost that can better be used for other things. A nice walkable neighborhood with shops below and apartments above is more economically productive and better for the people living there.

  264. This is why I require developers to write tests for the code they create. It forces them to use the code and experience the pain of using it. It helps them fix their design problem in order to make the code more testable.

  268.  @BTrain-is8ch  Yet somehow even though the labor is not worth as much the people at the top are taking home more of the money than ever before. It is almost like there is a lot more value in the work it is just that the people at the top are siphoning off that value like some kind of leeches. I also don't think that houses should have ever been investments. In order for you to sell your house for more than you bought it either the person buying it has oe paid more (which drives up infalation over time) or the person has to pay a higher percentage of their income (which lowers overall spending in the society) and both are bad for the economy long term. It is unsustainable.

  269.  @Gladissims  From what I have read and seen the polarization is more extreme with first past the post voting systems. That is not to say that other systems have no polarization but they do seem to have a lot less. I think this is because first past the post is stable only with two parties and it encourages the two parties not to cooperate which drives polarization.

  271. ChatGPT can generate tests but it makes a lot of mistakes. The tests will usually pass but they often don't do a very good job of actually testing the code. However, they do an amazing job of actually generate all of that testing code and the various paths through the functions that need to be tested. So you have a great starting point to use in only a few seconds. It save a lot of time but you can't just use what it writes.

  272.  @c.augustedupin8860  Because recognizing Taiwan costs them nothing but lowers tensions in the area and improves trade. By every logical metric it makes the most sense. The reason this continues has nothing to do with logic or reason. This kind of behavior hast left many companies leaving China, it has left foreign investment dropping and it has caused high unemployment in China. By every metric this is an irrational decision.

  273.  @atari947  My understanding is that Taiwan needs to change their constitution to formally give up their claim to China and China has threatened war if they do that. I don't understand the reason for that though. At this point though there is no practical way that Taiwan is going to take over China and they are two separate countries.

  279. This one bothers me a lot. I can't just buy electronic copies of movies. They are not for sale anywhere. You can "buy" (rent them) but that is it. So instead you end up buying physical media and then converting it to an electronic format. There is a huge waste of resources involved in that but I don't actually see any other option and it is the most ethical approach I have found for this.

  280. I work with a lot of science and engineering code where we are building simulations for making medicine. I have been able to get branches down to about a week on average but I found when trying to shorten it from that it caused more problems. I think part of the issue is that many of the people doing development are not primarily developers. They are engineers and scientists that need to get a model built and they need experienced support and someone that can look over their code before it gets merged in. The other part is that when building a model it is often hard to determine what correct is. The branches tend to get more group discussion on if the approach being used to solve the problem is the right approach.

  285. I do not like having Java around at all. I much prefer Python. It is easier to call into c/c++ libraries or write parts of the program in a lower level language if needed. It also has a wider range of high performance libraries for math and science than Java does.

  287. I agree that motherboards are massively overpriced. One of the things I noticed, and Steve complained about also, is that finding a motherboard with a 7 segment display puts in a much more expensive motherboard class. Even bios flashback tends not to be on the lowest ends boards. When I built my first new computer in a very long time both of those features provided to be critical. I had a bad bios update and the system was completely unbootable. I was able to bios flashback a different bios and the system worked again. I also had an issue where the original video card was defective. Without that 7 segment display I probably would have had to RMA the board and not realized it was the video card. Those features saved me a lot of time and I hate that they cost so much but I would not build a system without them in the future.

  288. I also love that in Germany and other EU countries I have seen so far bakeries are more than just where you buy bread. They usually have sandwiches, tea, coffee, etc. type of stuff. People will meet there, have something to eat, and relax for a few hours with some friends.

They like knowing that if they get sick they won't lose their job, that healthcare won't bankrupt that. They like knowing that they get vacation time and that companies can't prevent you from using it. They like that they are not forced to work more hours just because the management at the company did a poor job of managing tasks.

  305.  @JanVerny  I do have oversight and people do expect results but they also know the problems are incredibly hard and want to be kept updated. Imagine you are asked with increasing the yield of something. Before you can figure out what to do you have to first figure out what is impacting the yield now, what models do you already have available, what things can you change to try and increase it. Once you know that then you can set about actually solving a problem.

All the code was open and at any time these companies making billions of dollars a year could have done something to help the project they relied on.

  311. I am fine with my boss contacting me outside of work hours so long as it is something I don't have to worry about until working hours or will directly impact the working hours. I have had my boss tell me that there is going to be a transit strike or a severe storm etc. and that I could just work from home. Or he would finally get a dataset I needed and sent it to me so I could work on it the next day. I have ever had him call once to tell me that someone we had been working on had just been finished and accepted. I agree entirely with the idea of the law that your boss should not be contacting you outside of work hours for more work related tasks or to ask about work related tasks.

  313. Thank you for making this video. I am going to share it with others because I have been trying to make the same point. Chatgpt and most of these other AI systems have no concept of truth and it is not something that is easy to add. They can be useful and they can assist in programming but you have to watch them very carefully because they will be wrong. I have done some tests with generating Python code and it does a decent job of generating code to the point where it can do a lot of the basic work and you can focus on the overall solution.

  314. I worked on something recently and we thought it would take about 5 days to get it done. It ended up taking about two months. Fixing one problem uncovered a lot of other issues related to complicated math in the simulation that took quite a while to track down and fix. There was no way to see that problem ahead of time because nobody had any idea the problem was there. At some point it seemed the Agile process we were taught just started to break down for this. The code ran, the tests passed, but the tests also ended up being wrong for some of the same complicated math reasons. For scientific and simulation software at some point I have found you just need a few people that work together on an issue and get rid of all the worrying about sprints, tickets, scrum, predictions on when it will be done etc. stuff. There was no point in adding more people to the team to speed things up because there was really not much they could do to help. It was better to have them work on other projects. Especially when a combination of programming and graduate level math skills where needed.

  317. I think that companies should be liable for disposing of their products once consumers are done with them. This would force the cost of dealing with the waste into the price of the product. It would also make cheap disposable products much more expensive while also making more expensive products that are easier to repair much cheaper.

  318. Our team has been working the exact opposite way we build the science/engineering models and make them work, then define a programming interface for them with dataclasses, then start designing some of the visualizations and then we work with the UI team to create a UI for it. Having the UI team work first just wouldn't work because they would have no idea what features the UI would need to control the model and until we build the model we don't know what it will need either.

  324. More correctly American cities where bulldozed to suit cars. If you look at old pictures many American cities predate the wide spread adoption of cars. Some of the changes where not even that long ago. In the 1950s-1970s large areas of cities where bulldozed to add more car traffic. I am also "sure" that it was purely "accidental" that those strange paths you see major roads takes through cities just happened to go through the various low income neighborhoods and required them to be bulldozed.

  325. I am a chemical engineer and the agile approach does seem like an engineering approach to making software. I just see it as still in an early stage of development. Most of our practices and calculations we use for engineering where created through trial and error iteration and improvement and anything that is cutting edge still tends to get developed that way. Sure we don't do that for bridges anymore but we also learned how to build bridges a long time ago and have mostly been slowly refining them.

  329. We have been doing some group coding at work recently using the vscode live share feature. Sometimes it is one person doing the coding while the others are giving input on how to do something but others times we split up to tackle a problem together. For instance if someone is working on a feature and we realize a new simple function is needed something else that would make it easier to implement it then someone will split off to quickly code up and test that function. Especially when dealing with more complicated math problems this has really helped.

  331.  @Greenitthe  The market can't be free when it gets distorted so much. I have seen news houses build and a property group come in and buy ALL of them and then rent them out. The rents more MUCH higher than what a mortgage would have been and it drove up home prices in the area. It also allowed them to keep increasing the rents every year because there was no other alternative. If other houses in the area in other developments went up for sale they bought those also.

  335. Honestly when I go out with a group of friends we find places to eat that everyone is okay with. That often means going to a Thai places because they can accommodate most things and the food tastes good. In the USA I have sometimes ended up going to the cheesecake factory. Their menu is so large and diverse they can accommodate almost any dietary restriction. However, if there is no vegan in the group, it sure does open up a lot more options.

At least if I stay in Germany I can help make medicine cheaper.

  345. I'm and engineer and I push for using metric base units everywhere that it makes sense, especially in computer simulations. I have seen far too many things screwed up because of errors related to units. There are a few exceptions I can think of. When dealing with very high energy systems instead of mass in kg it can make more sense to look at mass in eV using E=mc^2 so that everything is in energy units. You still use SI energy units though. The one unit we have that is still annoying is time. That one is annoying as hell. For anything less than 1 second you have decimal units which is great. Above that you have 60s =1 min 60 min = 1 hr, 24 hrs = 1 day etc. etc. it is a mess. For that reason I try to use only seconds and conversions are done only for output.

  348. One of the things I have noticed since moving to Germany is that it doesn't really have a city that completely dominates the country. There are certainly some that are larger but nothig like how New York, London, Paris, or Tokyo just completely dominated their countries. I wonder if a bunch of smaller cities linked together with high speed rail is more sustainable and more economically favorable long term. You still have people living in city areas but it does make housing cheaper. You can have nice walkable and bikeable cities which makes raising a family easier. If you do need to do some work in another city the cost difference is not that high. If you need to expand where people live you can build more towns that turn into cities along the high speed rail lines. I know people now that live in a smaller town with substantially reduced rent that are just 2-3 stops from the city they work in. This makes it easy to expand but has a small impact on the cost of infrastructure because you are increasing the intensity of usage without creating so much new infrastructure that is expensive to maintain.

  350. Honestly, I have felt much safer since moving to Germany for my PhD. I have never felt threatened by a German police officer while I have in the USA on a number of occasions. I have even seen German police stop people and talk to them and at no point did it feel like they where just going to pull out their gun and shoot the person. It all just feels very sad to me but I guess I need to just learn German.

  351. Before you made this video I didn't even know there where ebikes that required apps or server keys. All the ebikes I have seen so far in Germany just operate when you pedal them, most I have seen have some kind of display to show you the charge level, how much energy the motor is putting in etc. There is usually some kind of control to change how much assistance you want but not much more than that.

  357. I don't actually buy that allowing a few people to make so much money is better for the economy. I also know that there are many economists that don't agree with that either. The wealthy skew the system towards services with the wealthy and to their ideology. Having the wealth spready around more favors services that help more people. Also, it seems really clear to me that the super wealthy stifle innovation. They don't compete, they use their market size to stop competition. They hold back the development of newer technologies and harm investments in better technology. What I see is that a society with a lot more small and mid size companies is more robust and dynamic like the system of small to mid size companies in Germany that manufacture all kinds of custom parts and sell them around the world. I think we would all be better off if the people that worked for musk, bezos, etc. got stock also so the wealth was spread around better. If you make more than about 50 million dollars you can get a gold star, you have won capitalism but you can't have more because it distorts the system.

  358.  @Hi_Its_Chris  I am living in Germany now and I much prefer the trains. I can relax, stretch my legs, walk around, and get work done on the trains. I have never seen someone smoking anything on a German train and they have all been very clean. Even if I had a car a train would beat it to most of the places I have gone. There are even nice slow overnight trains where you get a nice bed. You get on the train at night, go to bed, and wake up at your destination and FAR FAR more relaxing than air travel.

  361.  @evoluxman9935  Then it needs to be done with the Eu and USA working together so that it is too big to stop trade with. We also need to work at disentangling our economies. Just giving into this behavior is dangerous. China has shown they will use their leverage for something like this. What happens when they push that leverage for something else? China has even tried to claim all the airspace around Japan several times.

  363. I suspect this is probably not legal in the UK or the EU. There are a lot of laws about ewaste and standardization now. It even looks like usb-c is going to be the standard for just about anything that works on dc power and less than 240W to get rid of more waste.

  364. The EU has already placed restrictions on AI. If you AI directly impacts a human the decisions made by the AI must be explainable and accountable. You can't just hand off a job to an AI to hire or fire workers and absolve yourself of responsibility. They have actually done quite a good job on these laws because they specifically left out things like regression networks and surrogate modeling where those things don't impact humans. So if I design a neural network to approximate a partial differential equation I am clear.

  366. Health care is better for us and more likely to keep growing long term. Tech companies don't really have anywhere else to grow. They have all the customers they are ever going to get and most are still not profitable. In order to make more money they have to squeeze the existing base of people more and i have severe doubts that it will work. They will keep firing people in an effort to be profitable and I just don't see it happening for most of them. Face it, most big tech companies don't actually have a viable business model. They grew big off of cheap money and the idea that they would one day be profitable.

  372.  @zwerko  Honestly, I have no idea on this one. I moved to Germany for a PhD and decided stay. I don't really know how they manage to run a profitable business and still pay workers better, especially considering the benefits. I do know that it is much cheaper to live here than in most of the USA.
    2
  373.  @deeanabowles2332  I think they should be paid fairly so they don't need tips. In Germany many people give 1-2 euros as a tip or they tell the person to keep the change. That money is not taxed from what I have been told. The people are also paid fairly and get healthcare, retirement, 5 weeks of vacation etc. The food is also not more expensive. That is what I want more people to have.
    2
  374.  @deeanabowles2332  No I mean in Germany so far as I can tell, tips are not taxed. They are also small and often referred to as beer money. I think the USA needs more unionization and more strikes so that workers can get the fair wage they deserve.

  375.  @deeanabowles2332  I absolutely agree with you. I just got tired of fighting what seemed like an endlessly losing battle so it seems better to stay in Germany for now.

  377. Pretty sure this is why Windows has that feature to not run random binaries. You can call it whatever you want and with whatever permissions you want and if it is not signed Windows will warn you and require you to click that you really want to run it. Linux has amazing security against being attacked remotely. However, its security against local issues does need a lot of work. At least for some things it is moving in the right direction. Hopefully we can just bury Xorg soon.
    2
  378.  @anon_y_mousse  It is another example of poor desktop security. Automatically running binaries that look like data files is a very old problem and it really should not be happening anymore. My general point is that while Linux as a server is quite secure as a desktop it is one of the easiest systems to break into out of Mac, Windows, and Linux because of a lot of these little issues. From auto-running programs like this to how lockscreens work and shatter attacks.
    2
  379.  @anon_y_mousse  It is not just as insecure. For instance the lockscreen on Xorg runs as the user it is locked for and it is an overlay on top of your system. If you crash it you can crash it to the desktop and see everything. There have even been bugs where you could connect another monitor and access things on that screen because the lockscreen was not covering that area. On Windows and Mac the lockscreen is a login process to a user with no desktop, if you login it switches you to the right users desktop. It means if you crash the lockscreen you can't ever end up on a users desktop. This bug has repeatedly happened and it is inherent to the design of X11. It makes Linux as a desktop less secure.
    2
  380.  @anon_y_mousse  The windows method is not security through obscurity. That is a completely documented and best practice way of handling logins. It is just not one that X11 is capable of. Sure you can come up with cases where someone does not have X running by default. However, if you have a computer that is a windows desktop/laptop it would be extremely rare to have it start in console mode and then manually switch it to gui mode. None of the major distros do that.
    2
  381.  @mastermati773  We have been using it to help get newer people up to speed and spread better coding practices. I have also used it to teach people how to get to a better state of code since often it is hard to understand if you only see the start and end point. For instance to refactor some code first we pulled some methods out and made the output only depend on the input. We did this with a bunch of method that will depend on an interface instead of being part of a complicated object. The next step is to refactor the pieces into a designed result object and then theyw ill use that as in interface. if you only see the end result you won't understand how to do that yourself.

  382. The supreme court is just a political organization. They make political decisions and then try to justify it. The supreme court is not an organization that just applies the law and it never really has been. It is time to recognize that and change the structure of the supreme court. Make them elected officials with term limits. Also recognize that precedence doesn't actually mean much and that it can and will be overturned on a whim by different judges. It sure seems the USA is turning into some kind of backwards theocracy. Soon it will have a lot more in common with Afghanistan and the Taliban. These forced birthers don't care about the unborn. If they did they would ensure medical care for them and the mother. This is just about control of women and forced birth.

  383. This is why you NEVER use biometric logins. I use passwords only, no face no finger.

  384. I think it is worse than what you describe. If you don't reboot your system and open a new application it will most likely use the newer files. If you are running something from a desktop environment now you have a mix of old and new versions running at the same time. When the program communicates with the desktop environment it may use messages the DE doesn't understand. You can end up with a lot of weird behavior. It really is best to restart fairly quickly after an update. If you want to get work done don't actually install the updates until you are ready. If your program starts subprocesses this is REALLY important since newer processes it spawns will then use the new versions and you are now mixing old and new in your workflow without even realizing it.

  385. I think my normal approach to design is to look at what people need to accomplish, what they would like it to accomplish, and what features they would like to add to it over the next year or so. From that I try to break it down into some high level ideas based on the math that has to sit behind those features. I look at what math is in common and for that part I try to figure out what I will actually need because often that ends up determining how other parts of the system will need to function and it also doesn't take more than a few hours usually. After that about a day is spent on trying to break the system down into some high level modular components and we try to work through the design quickly to see if it can cover all the usage cases. Once we are to that point we can start coding. In general the classes all have to be small, we try to use pure functions where possible, and use dataclasses for interfaces. This makes writing the testing much easier.

  386.  @Vicente-en2zx  Until very recently it just didn't get hot enough for that. Maybe one week out of the year would get into the 80s. Even now they are making buildings that do a better job of radiating away the heat instead of using air conditioning. It makes the builidings a little more expensive to build but it saves a LOT of power.

  387. In most professions engineers have legal protections and sign off requirements so that bosses can't force them to do illegal and dangerous things. Programmers don't have that. You can't have responsibility without the power to enforce it.
    2
  388. Exactly this. By making developers write test it forces you to use your own code and that forces you to face the design problems and fix them. This is what I have encountered with all the junior developers. It has helped them become much better developers.
    2
  389. This one didn't need reasoning. A future one won't need reasoning either. They will just make something up. You have to accept that the supreme court does not decide the law. They are a political organization and they decide based on their politics and then try to find a way to justify it. The USA is also the ONLY first world country where people even know the members of their supreme court. The others are larger with far more restricted powers and members that change more often to ensure that the appointments don't become a political mess.
    2
  390.  @iantaakalla8180  The problem is that even if it is right for the next supreme court to change all of these rulings and even though it will make the lives of most people much better it will ALSO further erode any legitimacy the court has left. We really need to reform the entire supreme court to be more like other first world countries. Most other countries have much larger courts and better methods of selecting judges along with mandatory retirement ages so that the court is much harder to make political.

  391.  @Bill_the_curious  I did not suggest disrupting a trial. I just seems that the judge is corrupt and so is the supreme court and I don't see a way to fix it.

  392. I don't like the EU rules that Feta is only from Greece and Champagne is only from a certain region of France. If something is essentially chemically the same I don't see a problem with giving it the same name. That is probably something the USA and EU will never agree on. Overall I think much more limited in scope trade deals are a better idea where they can be done on something that is good for both economies and don't end up lowering standards in both areas.

  400.  @MarvinWestmaas  I am not as worried about the content. The reason the content causes so much damage is because of the engagement maximization. I want to regulate those kinds of algorithms. In the news recently there have been internal reports from Facebook about how people get funneled into extremists groups because it drives engagement. If those groups existed but you had to actively choose to be part of them instead of driven to them it would not cause as much of a problem. Basically you can say what you want but the algorithm should not be taking the most negative and divisive things it can find and magnifying them to the world so people spend more time on the site. That is massively destructive.

  403. Interestingly research into LLM has slowed dramatically. The computing costs increase exponentially and from most of the research coming out it seems to have hit a wall with the current design. I think they will figure out a way around that wall and will keep improving these systems but I don't think it will be as smooth as many are expecting. Look at self-driving cars. They where supposed to be just around the corner and they could handle most situations. However, it seems they have hit a hard wall with the current designs. They are really not getting better and many flaws are being found in their current systems. It seems pretty safe to say that we probably still won't have self-driving cars in 10 years given how they are developing now.

  404. Our voting system, first past the post, only supports two political parties. Voting for a 3rd party works out to be the same as voting for the candidate that you are most opposed to. CGP Grey has an entire series on voting. Basically voting for Jill Stein is the same as voting for Trump. I know people are told to vote for who they want, etc. etc. but that is not how our voting system works. There are much better voting systems but we basically use the worst possible voting system. Even random chance is more likely to lead to a better outcome.

  405. It still seems so strange that in the USA that unions and companies fight with each other. In Germany and many other European countries they work much more cooperateively. If the workers are not doing well the company will suffer also. One major difference I have seen is that the heads of companies are not paid even close to as much as the ones in the USA are.

  406. Article 5 has only been invoked once and that was by the USA after 9/11. The rest of the allies came to help. Even Ukraine came to help. It looks like the USA won't be there when others need them. The USA can't even honor the treaty to Ukraine that guarantees their safety in exchange for them giving up their nukes. It turns out that was a bad deal. It means other countries won't trust the USA in the future and this is going to have a very high cost.

  408. One of the thing you can do is for functions that take a dictionary of arguments or return a dictionary of outputs is to create a dataclass instead. You can then type based on the dataclass and your input and output is then a contract that is far easier to test. You can then also put types on all of the variables involved. It also makes it easier to test and document.

  409. When I think of the kid in the go kart I also think of how miserable that place must have been to grow up. No sidewalks so no real way for kids to go anywhere. The kid got something that allowed him to have some fun the the area was no car dominated that it still made it a problem. In a residential area you should be driving slow enough that a kid on a gocart should not be a problem. The real issue is that places like that should not even exist.

The distro changed some compile options for the library and while the version stayed the same it was now missing a feature my software was using.

  414. I tend to use a hybrid of OO and functional code. I use features like python dataclasses or attrs to create objects that mostly just hold data. I then have functions that depend on that interface and return objects of an interface. I found this made the code easier to test and more flexible because the dependencies move to the interface. So plotting can take a result object, a simulation evaluation function can depend on a parameter set objects and return a set of results etc. It has made the code more testable and also easier to teach to people because they can see from the interfaces how the functions can be chained together.

  415. I work in biotech and AI is incredibly useful.

  421. I really can't agree with your conclusion. I think a lot of the big tech companies have been a net negative for society. I see social media as having made the world a worse place to live. I see AI systems being pushed out without regard to if they even work correctly or the damage they do and then companies disclaiming all responsibility. I see these companies pushing extremely destructive policies for the environment and then trying to greenwash everything. We have scam artists like Elon Musk that people look up to. He talks about self driving cars that are something like 10x more dangerous than humans driving the car. The tech doesn't work, he knows it doesn't work, he is willing to gamble with YOUR life to improve his product. If we don't get this under control it will not lead to a better world it will lead to one dying even faster than it is now.

  423. This kind of stuff is so bad for the society because it undermines faith in the legal system. How long will be it be before one of the states just say they are going to ignore a ruling. They don't recognize the courts authority and they know the court can't enforce the ruling. What would happen if California decided that their guns laws would remain in effect regardless of what the supreme court said? What about states that decide that medicine will remain available regardless of what courts have said.
    2
  424. When can we just accept that the supreme court does not decide based on facts. They are a political body and they make political decisions. I think we should just ignore them. They don't have a way to actually enforce their rulings so if they are not going to rule honestly they should just be ignored.

  426.  @JanVerny  It is nowhere near the level of waterfall but it is not like you can just jump in and start coding when you don't even know what kind of problem you need to solve. Once you have a general idea you typically have to read papers to figure out what kinds of solutions even exist and we can discuss what would even work for us. If one of the methods requires equipment we don't have then other methods need to be looked at first. I don't see a way to just start coding without these ideas figured out at least a little bit first.

I would also have much higher food costs and rent is about 3x what it is in Germany for about the same quality of apartment in the cities I would end up in back in the USA. It is really not hard to live better in Europe than in the USA which is really sad. Oh don't forget that you have minimum 25 days of vacation, paid family leave, health care, job security, etc.

  430. Evangelical christians tied themselves to a political party and mostly they seem to spread hate. If you don't agree with that party you also can't be part of that church. Many pastors have commented on this. Why don't we see christians pushing for things like universal health care and better help for the poor .... you know the things their god said they should do. What I see right now is the people that are doing the most good in the world are atheists who are doing the right thing just because they think it is correct and I see christians spending a lot of time, effort, and resources just trying to hurt others. It is not surprise that people turn away. If religion wants to actually have a place in the world going forward it needs to stand up for what is right and actually push to make a better world not just make it worse.

I love my job where I work with many other smart people to solver interesting and useful problems. Everyday I can go to work and know that I am doing my part to try and make the world just a little bit better. If I had to compete I would go find another job.

I am so tired of seeing news articles about how much better working in the office is, how workers like it more etc. I have even seen a news article about how great commuting is for your mental health, which is CLEARLY false to anyone that has ever done it. It is clear that there is a strong interest in making workers return regardless of the impact that has on productivity.

  434. I like having our product owner in the daily standups. I do a lot of scientific coding and the product owner did that before they became the product owner. Often when the team gets stuck on something he has been around long enough to suggest other ways of solving the problem, papers to read, approaches to look at. He will even drop into our coding sessions sometimes to assist with problems.

  435. This really doesn't seem to be accurate. India has the largest vaccination manufacturing capability of any country on earth. However due to reasons related to the current government and lack of investment and problems in their internal supply chains they have not been able to make enough doses. These deals also made it possible to develop the vaccine in record time. I also think there needs to be some level of realism here. Countries that make vaccines need to get their economies fully functioning so they can make vaccine as fast as possible so that more is available faster. That is why the VERY first group vaccinated should always be the vaccine supply chain.

  437. This should be done with ranked choice voting. If Sanders does not get a majority you want the candidate which can get the greatest support in the most transparent manner.

  439. Our world is hostile towards having children. Housing as an investment played a major part in this. The other part is the amount of education you need in the modern world. By the time you have enough education and earn enough to be stable people are out of their best years to have children and many of them are happy with their lives without children. When my mom was young she became a nurse with far less education than is required today. She was able to get a house for about $40K with a pretty short term loan. Today that same house is about $700K and you need dual incomes that pay very well to buy it. On top of that you will have to deal with student loans from that education and the cost of children .... yeah it just doesn't work.

  443. Even the Taliban seems a little less extreme than this .... and that is NOT good. If these people got their way it would be the destruction of the company. Companies would leave just to be able to get qualified people and the USA would have a HUGE brain drain to the EU.

  445.  @guysmiley7289  This is not remotely the same thing. A neural network is effectively a large polynomial approximation of an unknown equation to arbitrary accuracy. The purpose of training is to find all the coefficients. They don't accidentally connect to other systems or gain special features. This is just a bunch of matrix math operations. They are powerful and useful but they are not magical in anyway. It is nothing like working with biology and something that is inherently capable of doing something.

  446. I really wish we could find a way to fix this. The problem is that trying to stop this kind of thing means you have to regulate the companies spreading the news which is REALLY hard. They can use as much airtime as they want to stop you. It is like regulating social media companies. They are so powerful they will use that power to crush any opposition.

  449. From what I have seen from police in Germany if you are trying to talk to them and use the wrong words they don't get upset. Especially when it is clear you are not a native speaker. Actually, police in Germany have always been nice and polite every time I have encountered them so far. I have also never seen them just resting a hand on their gun, which I have seen a lot in the USA. That is one thing I really like about Germany. It never feels like a police officer might draw a gun and shoot you at any moment. They actually seem relaxed.

  454. Ukraine is not ready to be an EU member. I think they are clearly on the path to EU membership and the EU should keep developing closer ties but they are not ready yet. Before this war happened corruption and equal rights where still major issues in Ukraine and the war does not change that.

  455.  @RobertMorgan  At the same time companies rarely promote from within because then they have to find someone to do your old job. If you want a promotion in almost all cases you have to leave. That makes it really hard to keep people because if you have training and you can do better you might as well leave for better. This creates a vicious cycle where companies don't want to train or promote and encourages no loyalty from employees.

  457. I find trunk based development interesting and a kind of aspirational goal that I keep the teams moving towards. We have gone from merging once a year with some branches lasting more than a year to merging once a month to now most branches live for about 1-5 days before they are merged in. Coding practices are getting much better and so are coding skills. We don't actually do TDD yet but we do make sure all the code that is merged in is tested and most of the time now people write one function and then a test for it and then use it to verify the function is correct and fix bugs in it before moving on. You videos have definitely been helpful in getting the teams to move forward. Still a lot of work to do but I keep learning more from your videos.

  458. Our economic system is really evil. We make sure that not everyone can have a job, provide little support if you don't have one, tie your health to having one, and then blame you if you don't have one. It is really evil. If we require some people not have jobs to keep the economy stable then those people need support and there should be no stigma attached. We should also see how much does truly supporting those people cost compared to letting them have jobs. If our economy can only remain stable by making sure people don't have jobs and also don't have support then that is just saying that we built our system to be evil and refuse to change it.

There are advanced degrees though that do pay well and also help society.

You don't really have time to carefully design or look at anything. Most of the time the fault for this is management not the coders. You tell your boss that it will take 2 weeks to do something quickly or 2 days to make a quick hack and 99% of the time they choose the quick hack.

  467. I don't see why dressing with buttons or suits makes you more adult. I also don't see why watching sports (which dates back to Greek and roman times and probably before) is more adult than play games. While I agree our society has become more infantile I don't think those are very good examples. I have ever heard some people refer to using a bike to get around as infantile while there are many countries where a bike is the most common method of transportation. In many ways I think referring to something as infantile is mostly a way for the person saying it to feel better about themselves by criticizing something they don't like.

  468. We have homelessness because as a society we have chosen to have it. There are countries like Finland which have almost 0 homelessness because people that end up homeless are given homes and help to get them back on their feet. This is CHEAPER than having them be homeless. European countries also have a far smaller homelessness problems because of cheaper low end housing and better social benefits and this is also CHEAPER than having people be homeless.

Especially with things like automatically uploading to social media and automatic tagging in pictures.

It is probably the least glitchy Bethesda game ever.

  475. The USA withdrawing also means a lot less power for USA companies. The defense industry is going to be gutted as sales dry up around the world but especially in Europe.

  478. I definitely can't agree with this at all. You hold up these tech people and they do almost nothing to help the world and quite a lot to make it worse. Elon is not a visionary he is a scam artist that has constantly worked to hold back actual improvements that would help the world. If our only research comes from these billionaires it will ONLY be done for THEIR benefit and it will make us all worse off. I will remind you that the mRNA technology that saved many tens of millions of people was a long term project that was funded by government research. We knew the potential of the technology and we knew it would take a lot of work to realize it. Can you imagine what would happen if one company controlled that tech? Our current way of funding research is broken and I would agree that I don't see the value in a lot of humanities research. I think the free market is worse. I do think there are things we can do to make it much better. I think that governments should run something like wikipedia for publishing academic research and get rid of all the journals. Part of the problem is that publish or perish creates a bad incentive system which encourages bad research. I have talked to people that had projects fail because the idea just didn't work but they HAD to have published papers in order to graduate and getting negative papers published is extremely difficult even though they often provide the most knowledge. It is also not right to say that someone gets nothing because a project did not succeed. If you fix the incentives I think you will fix a lot of research.

  479. Actually, you can't just keep increasing the size of the container LONG before it becomes larger than the planet. The reactions inside the flask are exothermic. You don't have to increase it by too much before you need active cooling and at larger sizes you need some fairly complicated cooling that is seen in large bioreactors used for making medicine. At some point though you still hit a limit and the bacteria will create so much heat that they kill themselves. The other problem is oxygen. If you keep increasing the size of the system it becomes harder and harder to get enough oxygen into the solution. What you end up with is large areas with no oxygen as it has all been consumed before it gets to those area. Adding oxygen is really hard to do at larger sizes because diffusion is not enough but you also can't create bubbles. The gas/liquid interface created by a bubble has a large shearing force which is destructive to a lot of single cell organisms.

  480. I agree entirely. I love a good single player or coop game that you play through, finish, and then go play something else. I often play games with a friend and we will look for games that we can play and beat together and always try to change up the genre of games we play.

  483. This is actually a huge issue. What I notice is that senior devs use the AI to help with small functions and as basically a way to look up APIs quickly. Junior devs end up using it for design and it is bad at that and they don't learn. It is like giving a kid a calculator instead of teaching them basic math. Without that understanding they just can't go any further.
    2
  484. AI detection doesn't work and will never work. There is no real point in going down that path. Requiring everything to be written by hand in class also penalizes students where writing by hand is difficult. You can learn to accept and adapt to the technology or you can get run over. You may not like that option, I may not like that option, it doesn't matter because that is reality.

  487.  @travisspicer5514  I think it would have done more good for the economy if so much of the money handn't gone to the billionaires. They may have had the idea but a lot of others hard work is involved in that. Of course the ones I hate the most are when companies pay the executives in stock and then do something like fire a bunch of workers to make the stock go up. Even worse is when they used the money from the fired workers to do a stock buyback to make it go even higher.

  488. I have seen so many go above and beyond and are NEVER rewarded. You see people that are always early, they work late, they take on extra tasks and they are fired the same as anyone else to make the line go up. If companies don't show any loyalty to workers then why should workers show loyalty to companies? If a company treats you well and rewards you for doing extra tasks then fine go do it but if they don't .... screw them.

They can grow far more crops with less energy and less water usage.

  491.  @e2e23e  Technically it was a combination of TDD and unit tests. For most of the new changes the tests where written at least partially first. Unittests where also added for older code in order to refactor the code. Tests for the newer functions to be created where often written first.

  492. Honestly it seems like most of the issues are fairly minor QC issues that do need to be fixed but nothing that is a real problem to fix.

I would take this as an overall win and some very good points to improve it.

  499. Not renting those places out means no businesses in the area. This lowers the number of people in the area. That not only makes the areas less desirable for people to live near or go to it also drives up crimes which increases the costs for anyone in the area and make it less likely people will want to go there. There should be a vacancy tax from cities that just keeps going up until the place is rented.

I would have taken millions of people all working together to try and create a conspiracy this large. They would all have to communicate secretly and reliably to make sure all the stories stay straight and they need to do it across the planet and many different languages. We can't even mange to get that right about Santa Claus just to children.

I explained about writing small functions with a very specific purpose and they have not had issues with that.

  507. That would be a MUCH better argument. Most virologists I have read from in papers have argued exactly that. One of the things we could do is install better air filtration and circulation systems in buildings. Good filtration with things like UV sterilization would make it very hard for this disease and most other airborne diseases to spread. There was a recent interview on the ezra klein show talking about that also. Basically we can choose materials in buildings, air movement and other changes so that no matter how the virus mutates the spread will be very low. What I have learned is most of the experts think a mask should be the last line of defense not the first. The great things about these changes is it would also stop the flu, cold and many other diseases. People would be healthier and it would have an enormous positive impact on the economy to get rid of a low of low level general sickness.

  512.  @JohnSmith-cn4cw  People choose to live in European cities. They are not dirty or dangerous. You can walk around most cities in Germany, France, Denmark, etc. at any time of the day without worry. People like living in these places because they can walk and ride a bike where they need. They can quickly catch a train to nearly anywhere they want to go. They are highly desirable places to live. USA cities are dangerous and dirty BECAUSE of the cars. It means very low population density and nobody really walking around which drives up crime.

  513. I am so thankful that none of the software I work on has had to deal with this. All the stuff my group does is in Python and C++, so no Java used and no log4j.

It is a weird middle language that is simultaneously too low level, too slow, and too hard to accelerate with high speed libraries.

  516. What I don't get about this is that it really seems to push for endless growth. If we created more durable and repairable goods that seems like it would be much better for our society and planet but devastating for the economy. Just like if more people invite friends over and cook dinner together and then stream a movie that is VASTLY cheaper than going out to eat and watching a movie but also better for us. It helps improve our connection with other people but it is also bad for the economy. In the end I think we are going to have to figure out how to make an economy that works and has the right incentives to function in line with what we and our planet need.

  517. I am living in Germany, as an American, and I just don't see how walmart could ever work here. Markets are mixed with the housing so most people don't live more than about 5 minute walk from fresh bakeries and markets. These are mostly small discount stores that have all of the normal stuff you need. Walmarts are huge stores and that would mean having to travel much further to get to one. Also because stores are so close most people in Germany have small freezers are refrigerators. Why store a bunch of food when you can just walk to the store in a few minutes? In the USA most people I knew would go to the store 1 every week or two and stock up on a LOT of stuff while in Germany mostly people go every 2 days or so.

  518. Am I the only one that watched this and took away the idea that our economic system is evil?

Look at how much power you can cut from zen 4 and have hardly any impact on performance.

  520. One of the strange things I have learned since moving to Germany is that the EU considers some of the USA labor practices to be unfair and has restrictions on some good because of it and restrictions on other goods for safety reasons.

  524.  @BTrain-is8ch  I don't agree with the investment one. Allowing certain things to be turned into investments has a lot of negative consequences for the society and so government policy should be set to discourage certain kinds of things as being investments. For example if houses are an investment it is in the best interests of homeowners to block new housing at a local level because it would stop the value of their asset from rising as quickly or it could even fall. This has lead to a problem of more jobs than places to live in many cities and caused hosing to become completely unaffordable to many people. This has a strong negative impact on the economy even though it is in the personal best interests of homeowners. As for the first point I think the equity should also be spread around more instead of just going to a few people. I think workers should have more interest in the companies they work for. It means they have a strong incentive to make sure the companies do well.

  525. Most live service games are perfectly fine as single player games or coop games and they don't need a server. I don't want companies to get out of the requirements of a law like this by just saying their game is a live service game and adding something small to it just so they can shut the game down later. Ubisoft DID JUST THAT with some of the Far Cry and Assassins's Creed games. They had a huge sale on steam and then announced a couple days after the sale that they where shutting down the game servers and that most of the DLC you purchased would no longer work. The games where not online but apparently it required a server to allow the DLC to work.

  526. I agree with you about the Linux desktop. I was using KDE 3.5 at the time and KDE 4 was so completely broken. I tried to stay on KDE 3.5 but as distros kept updating things keeping it working became difficult. Around the same time various distributions where moving to Xrandr which didn't support multiscreen in the beginning but it did manage to break Xinerama also. They also started doing these new super simple generated Xorg.conf files which where invariably wrong for my system. I would run an update and sometimes multi monitors would stop working or the GUI would break or sound would break etc etc etc. It was just too much at the time. Later I got into machine learning and EVERY error in CUDA for a while when using stuff like Tensorflow would crash the driver and that would then take the entire GUI out with it. Do you know how hard it is to debug and figure out what is wrong with some code when an error causes your entire GUI to restart also and all the programs to close? At some point I ended up switching to Windows because I just could not take those issues anymore. What I found is that on Windows I did manage to crash the cuda driver a few times but windows would tell me the video driver had failed and restarted it and everything kept running except the machine learning code which had died. Over time windows got more reliable and secure and at this point today with Windows 11 I can WSL, WSL2 windows Terminal and I can run Linux GUI apps with hardware acceleration and GPGPU support inside WSL2. I love using Linux on servers and I use it on servers every single day but I just can't go back to it on the desktop.

  531. I actually like the superdelegate system overall. If HIllary is indighted they can easily support Bernie so that the democrats don't lose even if she is far ahead. Without superdelegates that would not be possible. What I want though is for superdelegates to not support either candidate until the convention and they should back the candidate with the highest odds of success. They should play no role in the process at this point. I want to know the odds of Bernie winning vs Trump and Hillary winning vs Trump at the time of the convention and then take into account ups and downs and support the candidate with the highest odds. I don't really like Hillary and I don't actually like Bernie very much either. Some of his views on biotech and genetic engineering are not based on science and are likely to cause a great deal of harm and deaths but no matter what I feel about either of them I would take them over any of the republicans.

  532. ​ @thomas6069  I feel bad for their children. Their children don't deserve to die just because their parent believes something false. Unfortunately anti-vaccine has become more common and it has also become more common to see stories on the news of children dying of various preventable diseases because parents refuse to vaccinate. It should be considered child abuse.

  535. I am planning on adopting AM5. I am way overdue to build a new computer and AM5 and RNDA3 look like they will be a lot more power efficient than what we have now. I am planning to use a Fractal Torrent case and go all air cooling. There are rumors that X3d versions of the 7000 chips will be announced at CEC 2023 in early january. Since I was not planning to build a new computer until late november to early december anyways I may just wait for early january and see if I should get an x3d chip instead. I am really looking forward to testing AVX512 on some of the simulations I have.

  540. While the video is largely accurate for classification type models it is not accurate for regression model. I work on neural networks to approximate a PDE solver and a mean square error of 1e-7 is too high to be able to use the network and 1e-8 is borderline. The network I use now has an error around 1e-9. These networks are not sexy, they don't get a lot of nice videos because they don't generate nice pictures usually. However, they are critically important. Calculations that would normally take years can be done in days. NVidia and AMD even build special neural network GPUs for calculating these kinds of networks at high precision. All of my calculations are done in double precision and even changing to single precision significantly degrades the network.

  542. I just completed a build in the torrent case but I used a RTX 4080 but I actually decreased the power limit to 80%. It seems to have no impact on game performance but a substantial decrease in power usage. I probably would have done the same for a 4070. I Use AM5 with a 7700X and put a power limit on the chip and a -20 PBO offset. In the torrent case it is nearly silent and substantially reduced power usage for no loss in performance according to 3dmark and cinebench.

  547. The EU should have been involved from a negotiation standpoint but lets be honest most of the reason that NATO is not working well is because of EU countries. It is supposed to be a mutual defense treat and quite frankly outside of maybe France and a few eastern EU countries none of the countries can actually hold up the mutual aspect. Germany, for instance, has the strongest economy in the EU but has not even spent the bare minimum agreed to for NATO on their military. If Russia or China invades the EU I am sure that the USA will intervene but I don't see the EU coming to the aid of the USA because I don't think they have the capability to.

  549.  @awmy3109  I do group coding sessions with vscode where you can all code on the same thing at the same time. Involving engineers and scientists with the programming like that is highly productive. You can ask the experts about any issues as they come up and if something impacts multiple expertises they can discuss the right approach. Doing this through pull requests and meetings is MUCH slower.

  552. We have been voting by mail in the USA for over 150 years. Some states are 100% vote by mail and others are mostly vote by mail. When the systems are setup correctly they work well. Republicans have long supported vote by mail because it has long helped them in states like Florida and Arizona. There is actually a fair bit of evidence that Trump telling people not to use vote by mail (which is how he voted) is likely what cost him Arizona.

  553. I don't think that sending people to our current jail system is the answer. It doesn't work and it turns people into more hardened criminals. What we need is something more like the jails in Finland, Norway etc. where there is a lot more focus on fixing the problems instead of punishment. Punishment makes us feel good but if it does not make the situation better then it doesn't help. They need to do serious community service to help people. They absolutely can't just be allowed to go free because that is only encourage the behavior. I just hate the criminal justice system in the USA. We have a repeat offense rate around 90% while other first world countries have a repeat offense rate of less than 5% normally. Clearly we are doing something wrong and need to fix it.

  554. If you want to deal with traffic you need something that moves a lot of people per unit time per volume used. It is really that simple. These pod type systems CAN'T work. They can NEVER work. The density is just far too low. This is fairly simple math. If you want to deal with traffic you build walkable and bikeable areas so that most trips don't require going a long distance (think local grocery stores, barber shops, bakeries, restraunts, etc.) and you use trains to move large numbers of people between walkable locations. So far that is the only method that we actually know works. Maybe if we invent transporters in the future we can look at other options but we don't have that technology.

  556. These tools are useful but you have to remember they are REALLY stupid. They have no understanding of what they are writing. They pass college level standardized exams but they fail at highschool and gradeschool exams. They can do certain common programming tasks but they routinely fail at anything less common and the reason for both is the same. These things heavily rely on the solution to the question being in the training data. It can mix and match things together but it doesn't understand. It solves all the problems on stack overflow BECAUSE they are on stack overflow. It can solve standardized exams because there are thousands of online study guides for them. If these models killed stack overflow the companies would have to save the data to continue to use it for training because they can't be trained without it. There have already been studies that if you train an LLM on the output of an LLM it gets dumber fairly rapidly because you feed too many mistakes back into the system. Most of coding is not very novel when it comes down to most of the individual functions and so these tools can help but they are not very good at coding larger pieces. I think we are going to rapidly hit a point where these models don't get much better than they are now. They will still be very useful and an be tuned for specific tasks but I don't think they will actually get much better. We have to come up with some fundamentally different kind of model. I will also note that this is common in AI models. Look at self-driving, that has basically stalled for close to 10 years because the remaining problems are so difficult to do. If you build your own classification or regression models you can see they quickly get close to right but that further improvements are incredibly difficult.

I don't think what we have is capitalism anymore we just still call it that. Kind of like how we call our system democracy.

  562. Humans are just machines. You are a biochemical machine with a neural network. The odds are quite good that eventually AI will be as good and will later be even better. In the end though I don't think it matters if a human wrote, painted, sung, acted, etc. something. It matters what the impact is on you. Just because a human painted something does not imbue it with magical properties. An accurate copy of the mona lisa is just as good as the original. It is just sentimental to think otherwise.

Ukraine can't make any deal that doesn't have actual security guarantees because we all know that it just means Russia will build their forces up and then attack again in a few years to try and take more. The only way this ends is with Russia leaving Ukraine at their original borders and Ukraine becoming part of NATO.

I don't think it is your fault that old you could not get into the profession you are in now. I think you managed to make thing just slightly less worse. I think even the tiny victories we have had on right to repair would be even fewer. I don't know where this ends. We have billionaires being caught on video recordings that they want to double unemployment around the world and they want to really hurt workers to put them in their place. We have companies bragging about how they are making more money that every before in history and intend to keep raising prices. The rich are getting rich and the rest of us are getting screwed. Sometimes all you can do is make it so that the world is not quite as bad as what it would have been. You don't get a choice of good options.

  568. If programmers have consequences for this kind of thing then they also need the authority to enforce doing things the right way. In almost every case I have ever seen it is management that forces corners to be cut, to skip testing, to skip writing better code, to just hack enough to get something to kind of work. If you have consequences without authority then people will quit being programmers.

It is clear that it doesn't understand more advanced algorithms or use them correctly and the same with the modeling side where many math errors are made. Mostly what I see is that it is great for assisting with writing code as a pair programmer with a rapid feedback loop and it can replace some really awful programmers that just don't seem to learn but otherwise it is just a newer tool and we will use it to make even more complex systems.

It is why wages are basically stagnant for 40 years while productivity has skyrocketed and the rich have gotten so much richer. To the point where about 8 people own half the planet.

The places are staffed for people that have meals like that. Just going in, eating, and leaving is kind of weird in Europe.

In general it suffers from some of the same problems as generative AI systems do. The same things happen with the other items you have mentioned. Regression models are different. There is actual math behind the universal approximation theorem for specific types of networks and you can place a bounded accuracy on the output of the network. You can prove it accurately approximates the unknown function subject to certain known limitations. That is what makes it fundamentally different.

  597. VR is something that I think is still not there for most people but I can see where it will be later. The problem is that if we are going to make it better we need to keep working on developing it. I have been loving my Quest 3. I have lost weight playing beat saber and I have been having a lot of fun with karnage chronicles. However, I also don't seem to have any issues with headaches or sickness from playing VR. I have heard that Quest 3 is better than Quest 2 for that. The apple VR device though apparently causes problems because it is so front heavy it puts the pressure on your face and that causes problems over time. I have a quest 3 with one of those extra batteries on the back and it moves the weight to the top of my head which is MUCH better.

  600. I like the idea of a 3rd party but with first past the post that is un unstable situation. The voting system we use CREATES a two party system. This new party will be closer to the democrats or republicans. Whichever one it is closer to it will split voters with and the other party will gain an advantage and win. You voting for the party you want make it MORE likely that a party further from your views will win. I think if we want to see real change we need something like ranked choice voting so that a 3rd party can be stable in the system. So long as we use first past the post a 3rd party is not viable and voting for one only hurts you. If you need examples look at the UK. Some parts of the UK voted overwhelmingly for liberal candidates but the conservative candidate was elected because there was one conservative candidate and 2-3 liberal ones.

  601. What I have found with the DORA metrics is that releasing frequency is something that is often really difficult with scientific software. Sometimes it takes us a month to deliver a feature because of all the papers that have to be read and then implementing the math.

  604. I recently had to return a motherboard that started having weird problems in Germany to Amazon. I don't know what was wrong with it. I had contacted ASUS about it and they agreed that something was weird with the board. I got the board about 9 months ago. I ordered a new one from Amazon, all the problems went away, I returned the old one back to Amazon. Since it was Germany I just contacted Amazon, told them the problem, I sent it back without an issue and no dealing with ASUS warranty service. That was just so painless compared to my experiences in the USA.

  605. Most scientists do think about this. The issues are complicated because if you write a paper on what you learned anyone can take that paper, without your help, and use it for good or bad things. If you don't write the paper you either don't graduate or you lose your job as a researcher. I have been working on neural network to approximate complex simulators. It is designed to make medicine easier and some calculations that would have taken years can be done in days. I am sure that someone could find a way to abuse it. I don't know what that way would be but when it comes to being destructive humans are pretty creative.

  606. I am not worried about AI taking over at all. That is more of a scifi scenario and distracts from the real issues. I am worried about companies using AI to manipulate and further push the world into a dystopia. Just wait until your dead relatives are used to sell you things. Wait until AI is used to automatic social engineering attacks. Companies already hire some of the best people to understand the human brain to make their products more addictive and that will only continue. I think we need a good regulatory framework similar to how medicine is regulated. Nothing is allowed on the market until it goes through regulators.

We need ranked choice voting, approval voting or some other better voting system to have viable 3rd parties. We also need multirepresentative districts which proportional representation. A lot of our polarization if because of how our system is setup.

  619. One of the things to realize is we are at the point where this kind of tech is starting to look like something reasonable to use. This is terraforming technology. We are trying to terraform the earth because we have screwed it up so badly. Honestly, I don't expect stuff like this to make much of a difference, but I also expect the situation to get a LOT worse. I still see people buying giant fuel guzzling SUV and bragging about their amazing new vehicle. For most people I think they are just going to continue on as if nothing is happening and hope to die before it gets really bad.

  620. Alternatives are difficult because it depends on what you are doing. For example I have never seen someone use Typescript. I have heard of the language but nothing beyond that. All of my work is on science and engineering applications and the alternatives would be things like MATLAB (proprietary) or Julia (still very new and not many people know it). Don't use MATLAB just don't. If you are doing machine learning you have Python and you have rounding errors for usage in other languages.

  623. When working on any kind of simulator the one thing I think you have to do upfront design on is the actual math. What are the actual equations you are going to implement and why are they the right ones? This is such a foundational issue that it ends up touching a lot of the stuff the software does and while you can change it later it can also be quite painful.

  626. I have been using Windows 11 on a Ryzen 3900 and I mostly run simulations across all cores. So far, I have not noticed any real performance difference. Simulations are still completing at about the same speed as before. WSLg has been a really useful feature which allows running Linux GUI applications from WSL2. At least for me Windows 11 has been pretty much painless with everything working the same as Windows 10 except the additions to WSL2. I also play games on the system, but I already limited the FPS to 60 and I just play at 1080P so I doubt I would notice any difference from that since the system is already overkill for that kind of stuff.

  627. I am actually annoyed at so many referring to Y2K as nothing. A bunch of people worked VERY hard to fix those problems. Some systems did fail but thankfully a lot of people that worked very hard fixed most problems before people ever saw them. I worked on some of the systems and we had tested them and they WOULD FAIL when the date rolled over and so people fixed them before that happened. This reminds me of the problem of system administrators. If they do their job right you never see any problems. It is only when they do their job wrong that you notice them.

  630.  @lvbcoan660  Every product should have to pass safety standards and accuracy standards of labeling. However, if something is chemically identical to honey then it is honey. The same way that if I can create meat synthetically it is still meat so long as everything is reproduced. I really doubt that synthetic honey is chemically the same as real honey on anything other than some simple tests.
    1
  631.  @lvbcoan660  I am a chemical engineer. When I think of two things being chemically the same I am thinking of a very precise definition for that. Food is not an art, it is a chemical reaction. There is a great deal of science involved but many choose not to learn and call it an art. There is no way that the chinese stuff would taste different but be chemically the same as real honey. What this indicates is that the simple tests we use to check for honey are just being gamed and I agree that is wrong. Overall I don't think we should be trading with china anymore anyways for a wide range of reasons including cheating on products. For feta cheese I have not noticed any difference between the stuff from greece and the stuff from reputable companies in the usa and other countries.

  633.  @lprimak  Look at pyTorch, Tensorflow, Numpy, Scipy, etc. They are all high performance libraries that are faster than Java because it is easy to write a Python interface to a high performance library. Java exists in a weird inbetween level where it is faster than Python but not remotely as fast as C/C++ and also harder to optimize. While Python is slower it is very easy to code the performance critical parts in a low level language. Since most low level tasks are pretty common most of those tools already have low level high performance versions. For example install numpy in a conda environment and it will link to MKL by default.

I think we also looked at climate change from a more practical perspective. I have listened to so many people give their "ideas" of how we can deal with climate change that are just flat out impossible. As in thermodynamically their ideas can not work EVER. They refuse to accept that and sometimes these people even manage to get many others to join them and push their stupid ideas instead of getting real stuff funded and working.

  642.  @berkes  That has not been my experience. I have been coding Python since version 1.5. All of my work is science and engineering based modeling. We have nearly 100% unit test coverage and have been using type information since it was introduced. The type information doesn't help much with bugs but it is great for helping the IDE and more recently AI assist. There are so many tools for science and engineering code it is hard to justify not using Python because of the lack of libraries for other platforms. The way I see it you are dependent on tests no matter what because a type system won't save you and if you need to test everything then Python doesn't cause more problems than languages like C# does.

  645. The core problem is that with the delta variant it sheds about 1000x the viral particles as the original covid-19 strain. This means you need near universal vaccination to stop it. What has been found in these European countries is that even though vaccinated people can get infected they can't sustain the spread. Mostly it seems to just infect a vaccinated person's nose and maybe beyond that if the person is immunocompromised. What we are seeing in these countries is large groups of unvaccinated people get infected and overwhelming the hospitals and at the same time cause others to become infected. Think of the vaccine as resistance and not immunity. A shield might protect you from tens of attacks but when you start getting hit with tens of thousands of attacks stuff gets through. Right now the only way to get out of this is to vaccinate everyone or have different rules for people that refuse to be vaccinated so that they can't just spread the virus and create variants. To further add to this and give some perspective with the original variant if you were near another person on average you would have to be close to them for about 5 minutes to get enough virus particles to get infected. With the delta variant that time is about 1 second. It is much better at spreading.

  649.  @rack9458  Just because cars can be useful in non-urban areas doesn't mean they belong everywhere. Most of the cities in europe make it very easy to take transit into the cities and towns and you would only need a car if you want to go to a real rural area. New York to Boston is more densely populated than many parts of Germany and there more than a hundred flights per day along that route. A high speed train can cover that distance faster, cheaper, and better for the environment.

  650.  @rack9458  Great the freedom to experience more traffic and the freedom of needing a car to go anywhere instead of being able to walk or ride a bike. Not to mention the freedom to experience more air pollution and noisier places to live. What great freedoms.
    1
  651.  @rack9458  It is almost like putting people close together intensifies pollution in the area. So even though people in cities emit far less pollution per person they do emit a lot overall because of how many people are there. Of course that is not as true for many european cities which have good transit and walkable neighborhoods.

If you have to build a new factory to make something then I expect that to be a large cost but your products should be sold such that it can make money. I see the same thing with tiny startups for research into new types of medicines. It is a bunch of engineers and scientists trying to make a medicine based on research they have done but they are absolutely planning to make money from it once it works. This idea of losing money on every transaction and making it up on volume is insane to me.

  655. I have a larger one of these and it has been really nice. It did not rain here for over a month and the humidity was down around 20%. It was so dry I had cracks in my feet and fingers. The cooling helped a lot and the humidity was really nice to have. The other thing is the larger one I have also has an air filter in it and there is a sugar plant and a coal power plant not far from here and it really helped clean up the air. Before I got it I would cough a fair bit when it go so dry and dusty but once we turned one of these coolers on it cleaned most of the dust out of the air fairly quickly. You could see how much less dust there was in the air a ray of sunlight into a dark room.

  657. Maybe if the city had a more balanced mix of living and office space this would not be such an issue. It would also be less of an issue if the rents demanded where not so extreme and landlords refused to lower them in the face of falling demand. I moved to Germany for a PhD and what I noticed is that in German cities this doesn't seem to be an issue. You mostly see buildings with stores on the bottom and apartments above them. The areas are dense and walkable. People want to live there because it is a nice place to live. It is also much easier to go to the office if you can just walk to the office.

  658.  @MarvinWestmaas  Actually what you can focus on is algorithms that prioritize engagement. You don't need to focus on the content at all. If you say you are interested in cat videos and it shows you cat videos that is fine. The problem is when Facebook uses the information on you to funnel you to things that drive more engagement and thus create them more money. If Facebook just shows me pictures from my relatives and talking about family events there is no issue. If they show me content from the local pub that I actively went and subscribed to there is no issue. If you keep showing me that I should join a group that is only vaguely related to what I have shown interest in because it is profitable for you that is a real problem.

  673.  @albertinsinger7443  From what I can find Germany is the 5th largest CO2 polluter in the world. They have also caused the EU to emit more as a whole than they would otherwise because of how hard their government has pushed against higher standards on cars or even switching away from fossil feuls. It looks like China + USA + India +Russia is probably 90% of the total Germany could also work on making green technologies more available and that would help the problem. Also this is an existential risk. Every amount we cut helps and saying that we won't do anything because someone else isn't going to do anything is not a viable option.

Academia seems to be such a miserable place. What I have found is that doing research in industry, for me, has involved more actual research and higher quality output and more of a focus on things actually working. I have come to accept that most scientific papers are garbage. They just don't work, they leave out critical information, and will often not respond to questions about it. I know this happens because of publish or perish but it still annoys me. It is more likely that advice from reddit or stack overflow works on machine learning than a paper in nature.

I think that the models are reflecting where most people are and that is not where many people think they are. I have friends that consider themselves conservatives but they think it should be easier for highly skilled immigrants to stay in the country and get a job. They are also concerned about the rising cost of housing, how poorly their children are paid and how unstable their jobs are, they are even concerned about climate change and how that will impact their children. Those issues have all been classified as left wing issues even though there is nothing particularly to the left about any of them. Universal health care is just an idea that makes sense. If you want the healthiest society that works efficiently then universal health care gives you the most for the last resources spent. Letting people just get sick or go bankrupt operates like a break on the system and slows it down due to the inefficiency.

  704. Jay is completely correct about this. AI technology has progressed to the point where it is getting serious usage inside companies. I know that it is popular to just look at things like large language models or image generation and while those use a lot of computing power and make a huge media splash there is a LOT of other stuff there. For many problems we can build surrogate models. They run completely fine on a desktop GPU and they can run hundreds of thousands of times faster than the models used to train them. We can build models where instead of training them on data we train them on math equations and build Physics Informed Neural Networks. These can solve fluid dynamics problems millions of times faster than a standard CFD simulation. These networks are being used to accelerate making medicine and many other advances. Some medicines have actually come down a bit in price because of these technologies.

In general I think the money should be spread much more evenly between the people working on a show. It is not like you have a show without actors, writers, camera people, props, etc. Siphoning all the money to the top is wrong.

Most of the people in Germany are very rational and if getting a shot every 4-6 months is what it takes for life to return to normal then that is what they will do.

  710.  @ThePakophan  You are correct they are not free. However, the cost when spread over the society is quite cheap per person. Research has also been pretty clear at this point that even people that recover from covid have a much higher death rate over the following year and likely much longer. The vaccine protects against that also. We also need to keep people from getting seriously ill because it takes up too many hospital resources. If continuing to get boosters solves these problems I am all for it.

  713. I think this is important for California to do. This is probably the best way to get these kinds of laws struck down. The real danger is if this law is struck down and the abortion one is kept. That would undermine the entire court system and probably cause states to just start ignoring the court because they have no actual enforcement mechanism. The Texas law should have never survived because it is a bad law regardless of what it does.

  714. As much as I love the option of more trees and algae it doesn't always work very well anymore. The planet is hot enough now and erratic enough now in many places forests are no longer carbon sinks. Even the Amazon rainforest is apparently emitting more carbon now that it is absorbing due to the erratic weather. We are having more mega fires and trees are having a harder time growing with the erratic weather.

  715. One thing I have really wondered about that I have not seen a video for is the power needed to achieve a given level of performance. I don't know how popular a video like this would be but I am really curious. You did a really interesting video on the idle power usage of monitors once that I found interesting. If you are gaming at 1080p60 1440p120 etc. how much power is actually needed for this? I have also seen you do a lot of overclocking but I am also interested in undervolting and other methods of lowering power usage. I have seen a little bit on undervolting zen cpu to get the same performance but at far lower power cost but nothing that was really covered very well. When I look around I see things using more and more power and for many of them it seems way beyond diminishing returns. If you use double the power for 5% more performance that seems like a bad tradeoff to me. Maybe green reviews and techniques might work. It certainly seems different than other content I have seen and would likely be useful.

I do think there is more to success than making money.

  724. As it gets hotter it should become slightly non-linear. You will have two effects happening as the silicon gets hotter it will take more power to hit the same frequency and also as it gets hotter the GPU won't boost as high. I am not sure how those will end up balancing out. One way or another 100% of the electricity used wil be converted to heat and put into the room regardless of the cooling method. If your system is pulling 600W that is the same as running a space heater that pulls 600W.
    1
  725.  @definitelyfunatparties  It has to do with thermodynamics. One way or another all the energy is converted to heat. If you convert to light that light hits stuff and converts to heat. If you convert to power silicon that is 100% efficient at making heat as part of working. If you convert to mechanical energy that also converts to heat in the form of friction. If you convert to audio energy that will also convert to heat as it hits things. Technically if you had a lot of light and you had a window and you sent all of that light through the window then the part of the spectrum the window is transparent to would make it outside and you would have some energy not convert to heat inside the room. However, that will be a negligible amount.

  726.  @definitelyfunatparties  I think of it in terms of a control volume. You have power running into the computer. If I draw a cube around that computer then 100% of the electricity I put into it will come out as heat. Regardless of how it got there. This simplifies the system in terms of figuring out the cooling.

  735.  @jamesmiller3098  Actually until about 1970 the 2nd Amendment was not read that way. It was not seen as a right for unlimited private gun ownership. The USA has gun regulations very early on and even under the founders and this was not see as unconstitutional. The idea that the 2nd amendment provides for unlimited private gun ownership is a very recent idea.
    1
  736.  @jamesmiller3098  I am sorry but you are incorrect. In United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939) the supreme court ruling was very clear that the intent of the 2nd amendment was for state militia not for private gun ownership. It wasn't until District of Columbia v. Heller, 552 U.S. 1229 (2008) that the supreme court took up another case on gun control and that still ruled that states had wide latitude on controlling guns. This idea that it was always about everyone having personal guns is a very recent idea. You can even read older history books from the 1920s to 1960s and you don't see it being taught as about universal gun ownership. Mostly it is seen to be related to things like the state guards.

  739. Apparently only about 23% of American's use Twitter. It is certainly not as widely used as many people think. Mostly what I have seen is that platforms that don't block a lot of the extremist and violent content soon start running out of users because most people don't want to be involved with that. Reddit has actually done some experiments and they found that banning the most toxic subreddits and people ended up increasing engagement on the platform. They also found that most of those people that where not banned and moved to other subreddits did not carry that behavior to the new places. Research indicates that most people want to fix in and adopt the practices they see around them. Blocking extremism and violence really does work. This is the part where issues get complicated with free speech. I like free speech but it seems humans are not really compatible with it. The more white supremacist content there is online the more white supremacists you will have. I don't know what the correct balance should be and the issue is very complicated.

  745. I feel sorry for many people. It is easy for most of us to look at these things and wonder why anyone can be so stupid as to fall for these things. However, I have met people that have fallen for scams and they are usually some of the nicest people I have ever encountered. They are very gullible but very nice. I think that whatever it is in our brains that allows us to suspect that other people might not be telling the truth just doesn't exist in their brains. I don't think any amount of education will help them because I think that is just the way they are wired. This does NOT make it okay to scam them. It means we need to do a better job in our society to protect these people from scams and go after scammers more aggressively. If you think people should just suck it up and learn this stuff and that you can't protect people I think you should really look deeply into yourself and realize that these people that are being scammed have likely helped you many times in your lives.

  746. All the work that has been done to erode worker rights, erode home ownership, and just make life harder in general is a large part of the reason for why people are not becoming more conservative as they get older. We have fewer jobs that provide healthcare, vacation, retirement etc. than when I was younger. There is a greater divide between rich and poor. We also have a country where the rural areas are dying off. Without some serious investment the fate of most rural areas is elimination. Between these factors there is just no real driving force for people to get more conservative as they get older.

  767. Sotamayor is correct. The court is purely partisan. You can predict nearly every outcome just knowing the politics of who appointed the justice. The supreme court very clearly takes a case and figures out a legal argument to twist it to their political views. The supreme court already has lost all credibility. They are just a partisan organization. I think the supreme court needs to be completely changed. Probably 3 democrats, 3 republicans and 3 justices chosen from lower courts by other judges for a year would help but whatever the solution is they need to change it because states are going to start just ignoring the supreme court. The way they have upheld the Texas abortion ban is REALLY dangerous. Other states are now using it for other things and if they support states using it to ban abortion and teaching accurate history while decided against it on gun control it will be very clear that there is no justice system and there is no longer a reason to even pay attention to the supreme court.

  780. The AI driving example is just so dumb. The systems driving these things are not magical and still bound by physics. The amount of energy needed to substantially change the direction of a car moments before impact is quite large. Erratic movements can also cause a chain of reactions that results in even more deaths. The safest option is to slow down as much as possible before the impact and reduce the kinetic energy of the impact. The correct scenario is to fix the poor road design that creates all the conflict points between humans and cars. If you are in an area with pedestrians you should not be moving so far that you will seriously injure them. If you are in an area that is only for cars it should be clear it is not a pedestrian area. Look at the Netherlands for examples on how to do this.

  797. I typically break machine learning down into two distinct types. You have regression type systems which approximate an unknown function. These systems are well understood and have mathematical proofs on how and why they work. They also make small mistakes as a result of us using these tools in a well understood way. The second type of things like image classification, driving, etc. type of tasks. These are problems we have built giant networks for and they kind of work. The problem is that when these systems fail they fail in extreme ways and we don't have a theory on how they actually work. These are the types I am most worried about. They get most of the press, they get the most deployments, and they are the least safe. Companies already use these to make decisions which is extremely worrying.

While this will push medical technology forward this is going to act as a weight on the world economy for a very long time.

  803. I have seen people do dumb things on Linux, Windows, OSX, etc. involving the core OS. I have not seen any evidence that one group is particularly worse than the rest. On a separate note I have really gotten tired of some of these security scanners. At least for the code scanners I would say that 95% or more of the issues are false positives.

  805. AI can help you with computer code but only in a very limited way. If you write small functions that do a single thing and you give it a good name and you give good input argument then tools like copilot generally do a good job. They can also do a good job with writing tests for code that consists of short functions that do a single thing. However, the longer a function gets, the more complex it get, or if you try to tell the computer what to write in english the worse it gets. The idea that you will just tell and AI what you write and just does it is complete and utter nonsense. The best case I have seen is just tools like copilot where it works like a smart auto complete and if you follow some fairly simple rules the success rate is quite high. I have read some studies before where AI was negative for poor programmers, neural to negative for junior developers (because they don't really learn their skills) and only a benefit for people that are senior.

  806. His company worked to make the world car dependent. They pushed to destroy cities and now they blame the drivers for using the fuel that they designed our environment to use. You can even see some of their old ads on youtube. It takes many decades to fix a city after all the garbage they have pushed for.
    1
  807. This is why I find tools like copilot work best as a kind of intelligent auto complete. As a senior developer by the time you get down to the level of implementing a single function you have already done the design work and you just have a narrowly defined function to implement with hopefully a good name and defined parameters.

  808. Just accept that the supreme court is a partisan political body and it should be treated that way. I came to Germany for a PhD and I thought I would be coming back to the USA but that is not going to happen anymore. I start a job here soon and I am not coming back. It seems pretty clear the republicans want to have a theocracy and the courts will help them. I don't think it should even be legal for the government to control abortions beyond making sure they have the same safety standards as any other medical procedure and that should be under the control of the FDA.

  820. Factial recognition should not be legal to use for arrests. The technology doesn't work very reliably and we don't have any real ideas no how to make it work reliably. There have been several cities that have tried to deploy it and while they had a failure rate of 1/20 in the lab when they deployed them in practice the failure was higher than 19/20. The city should be sued and lose and serve as a lesson to others. Also facial recognition works worse on dark faces due to the lower contrast. It is harder for cameras to capture the required information for the machine learning models to identify all the features. This is a problem that has been widely studied and seems to be inherent to the technology. The only way we get reliable matches on people with dark skin is if their face is flood lit from the front. You will notice that is also the way that companies, airports and other places use the tech. Controlled lighting from the front.

  821. 4) Watch content that actually cares to make itself legible on the format that most people experience it. I go to the movies about one or two times per year. There is so much content available I can just choose some other content. Christopher Nolan has made is VERY clear many times he doesn't like the way I watch movies and he is pretty hostile towards that stuff even existing so I just end up not watching his stuff.

  822. Overall I like the KANBAN approach and that is what my teams normally use. However, we have something closer to multiple queues. I work with a lot of research based code so a great number of the features are only implementable by a subset of the developers. If you need to improve the mathematical stability of a complex algorithm only people with the kinds of skills needed for that problem can work on it. So when people take tasks they take the next highest priority task that they are capable of doing. I have to admit I don't hold completely to that rule though. If I have a day with a bunch of meetings where I don't have time to really get into a hard task but I see a bunch of trivial tasks that I can just get through I will grab a bunch of those. I know it violates the idea of taking the next highest priority task but at least this way tasks get done. If I only have one hour between meetings I just can't deal with mathematical stability, designing a neural network, debugging something complicated, etc.

  823. I don't think that content creator is actually a good way to make a living right now. Most of the platforms pay very little and they are always trying new ways to claw back even more money. At the same time the platforms are expensive to run and mostly have run at a loss and have been subsidized by effectively free money. I don't see an actually sustainable business model yet for how people can make content and get paid for it and the platform can run at a profit. Until that is solved I just don't see this working. I expect Twitch to close down, Twitter is going to fail, reddit looks like it will fail, tiktok is heavily subsidized. I don't know if youtube actually runs at a profit or not, the information is unclear on that.

  824. Courts just make stuff up. They make decisions based on political reasons and to appease that people that pay them. Non-competes are used by companies to abuse workers. It makes a farce of the at-will employment because you can't just go work somewhere else. Maybe at the executive level where the company would also have to pay after the person leave to enforce you not working for someone else but 99% of them are not used that way.

  825. Long term Nvidia is just going to be doing AI chips and they don't care about gaming. Those chips sell for a lot more and unlike things like bitcoin it doesn't look like this is going to be any kind of a bubble. I use neural networks in my work and I see systems that run 1 million times faster than existing simulations and still to 8 digits of accuracy. That is changing medicine, material science, and many other things. I agree Geforce should be spun off to their own thing.

You start with a basic math simulator, see if it can explain the data, find out where it is deficient, model more of the physical process, and repeat.

  841. I would say that most of the bias at the time was in the choice of stories. While any given story is reported neutrally that does not make the news neutral. I think we need something that combines the reporting of the time but also a better way of choosing stories based on informing the public. You have only to look at the treatment of civil rights and LGBT issues in the news to see this. They did do a MUCH better job of talking about bills in congress. However, I think that the German DW channel does as even better job of talking about issues because instead of breaking it down into something as simple as two side with for and against they tend to talk a lot more about the complexities of the issue.

  853. I think we need to have a huge round of trust breaking and make almost all companies medium sized or less. With that situation not only is there more competition but also no company is too big to fail and if they violate the law you can shut them down. The current system also makes it easy for larger players to keep others out of the market while if you had lots of smaller companies that would not be the case.

  854. I think the USA should held defend Taiwan and beef up their security. China is likely to keep expanding and taking what they can and after Hong Kong it is clear they won't abide by international treaties. If they attack Taiwan we should just treat it as a first strike for WW3 and just immediately fire on China. We also need to make that policy clear so that China knows exactly where the red line is. It seems inevitable that we are going to end up in a conflict with China.

  858. We may need a conservative party but the GOP is not a conservative party anymore and it is no worth saving. It has become extremely clear how disconnected they have become from reality. Remember it was not that long ago that the GOP accepted science like global warming, backed renewables and other energy projects for energy independence. I remember when the GOP had actual policy positions and would argue for those positions. I also remember when they would compromise on the positions and we ended up with better bills overall. The odds of democrats or republicans being purely correct on an issue is close to 0 and the correct answer is not 50/50 split between the positions. The correct answer is looking at parts of the bill piece by piece and seeing where some ideas may work better than others, it is harder, it takes more work, but it makes for better bills. Right now we have one party that is trying to govern, Democrats, and one party that is off in crazy town, Republicans, and that is just not a workable situation. One party is talking about education, infrastructure, health care, immigration and the other is talking about snow white, muppets, doctor seuss etc. Sure the vast majority of the GOP believes the big lie but the GOP has also gotten smaller at the same time. The sane people have been leaving. I have seen that with family members. Some of them agree with the ideals that republicans used to have but they voted for Biden and Democrats because the Republicans have just gone crazy. It is not much of a choice when one party is willing to actually govern and the other has PROVEN that even when they have power they don't.

  863. What really annoys me are all the megacorps that kept telling people they should have saved more while paying workers poorly. I remember being told that you should have 6 months of savings etc but these companies started to fail in less than a month and needed bailouts. Why is it that only people that are paid poorly are expected to have all these savings but for the super wealthy the taxpayers have to save their companies? From what I can see we should have caps on how much money people can make per year and in total. I am tired of seeing companies lay off thousands of workers, do a stock buyback and the have the CEO sell their stock and make millions of dollars. It is not better for the economy for all those people to lose their jobs just so the CEO can make even more and the laws should reflect that. I didn't used to support something this extreme but the system just looks so broken right now in favor of the extreme wealthy. I don't see any way out of the problem other than to deal with wealth inequality and make it so companies can't just funnel all the gains to the heads of the companies and have to also share those gains more fairly with the people that made those gains possible.

  870. I think these companies have also done a lot to promote right to repair unintentionally. Long ago you could repair things because you could just take them apart without any special tools, stuff was not glued in and you could pretty easily find parts and replace stuff. We did not have schematics but some of the stuff was not that hard. However, as they companies have pushed to lock down things and get more extreme at it like you showed with just replacing some cables in apple devices it stops working correctly it pushed the need for right to repair. They created the need for right to repair and the more steam right to repair gained the more they pushed back against it and further created additional need.

  874.  @trsshowstopper9518  I think we have a very different idea of what agile is. Of course that is understandable given that agile seems to mean almost anything at this point. What I think of is what this channel talks about where you have CI/CD, rapid feedback, unit testing, tooling to support best practices and give rapid feedback on mistakes and try to engineer a system to prevent many classes of mistakes. So at work in Python we have started defining some of the function interfaces using dataclasses. It dramatically lowers the defect rates and based on evidence. I would consider all of this agile and also all part of an engineering approach. Having code that is well tested and in an always releasable state is also much easier to change as requirements change.

  875.  @trsshowstopper9518  The advice given in this channel are based on actual tested knowledge. Dave constantly refers to the research behind the advice given here.

He asked if we could get data off the hardware and we showed him how the hard drive had cracked open and he agreed it was gone at that point.

Sure it might thermal throttle but there is still a large chunk of metal with air pulled across it by the case fans. I would need to replace the failed fan but it is not an emergency. If the pump fails on an AIO or full loop then you just can't use the system until you get that fixed.

  893. To me overclocking and watercooling seem pointless at this point. Sure if you do intel CPUs you need water cooling on their highest end chips but recent benchmarks show them using about 3x the power to just about run even with a 7800x3d. Even worse is you can cut the power on the 7800x3d from stock with a little undervolt and apply a power limit and lose almost no performance while substantially cutting the power. Honestly I would like to see some videos on how low you can get the power while maintaining close to stock performance.

  894. I do think we have a problem with making things more complicated on purpose. During my PhD I ran into issues where my papers was no considered scientific enough. My advisor told me that what that meant is that I needed to make it more complicated. I used to use less simple language and add replace the simple explanations that used pseudocode with more complex math. I am sure you have had this experience also where you read a paper and it is FAR more complicated than is necessary. Scientists even start talking like that over time and so you end up with a group of very smart people that talk in a way that is very hard for a normal person to understand. As an example if you look at boundary conditions for equations we talk about natural, essential, and many other different types. I tended to just write that I assumed the function had a constant value of x or the derivative had a constant value of y etc. The first requires that you remember the special names and what they mean, the second does not.

  897. I love work from home. It is so much more productive. I get more work done, save money, and eat much healthier. Conver the office buildings to housing that people can afford. Then more people would be in the city because they live there and we can still work from home.

  898. This turned out to be useful to me today. I just built a new machine and I tried using the OS install from my previous system and that did NOT work well. I did a format and reinstall but I had no network during the install process. I use this video to bypass the Microsoft account requirement so I could install the system. Everything is working great now.

  899. If they state had actually wanted to preempt cities on this and make one standard they could have just made the state law that you must give a water break every 4 hours if the temperature exceeds X. Honestly, I would have made it every hour. Here is the reality though. Conservatives are not in favor of smaller government. They use government just as much and abusively as democrats do. They use it to enforce their will over cities in their states and at the federal level they impose their ideas on states. The other point is you are missing the inherent cruelty that many business use. A simple example is that in most service jobs in the USA you are not allowed to sit down at any time. Not at fast food, not sales, not at a grocery store. It doesn't matter that there is a measured productivity gain in allowing those workers to sit, it is quite well known at this point, it is easy to measure, businesses can test it themselves. They don't because part of the point is the cruelty of it. Just look at the Texas floating barriers with razorwire and stuff underneath it designed to entangle and drown or injure people. The point is the cruelty.

  900. For a power supply you should also carefully consider your usage. I am building a nas and I looked at what the typical power usage should be for the hardware I am putting in it. I am living in Germany and power is expensive and I will make back the cost difference in a titanium power supply vs gold power supply in less than 2 years. It is really kind of impressive how large the difference can be.
    1
  901.  @AB-80X  You are correct and I should have been more specific. I used the PSU Tier List rev. 17.0g and only looked at the A rated power supplies and up. There are good gold power supplies and probably bad titanium ones. Once I found some candidates I looked to see what was available to buy in my area, then I went to find reviews on each one and looked at the power efficiency curve to figure out how much power it would use for my usage case. That helped me figure out a total cost of ownership. Sorry I made the process sound simpler than it actually was. I ended up deciding on a seasonic vertex platinum.

  903. What worries me the most are children that are too young to be vaccinated. If you are fully vaccinated while you are very unlikely to get sick from the delta variant you can be infected and be a carrier. One of my friends has a baby and they worry about her. While it is unlikely that she would get seriously ill from covid it is possible and as more variants appear of them could eventually appear that puts her at risk. As much as I want to visit my friend I don't think I could ever forgive myself if she got seriously sick because of me.

Next sale should be end of june to early july.

  908. The largest thing missed was locking children up in cages. It is one of the most evil things the USA has ever done and even now there are hundreds of children where the parents can't be found due to poor record keeping. Using troops to clear out peaceful protestors from a church including the priest of the church by is an abomination along with using a holy symbol as a prop. I think these kinds of things eat away at the core of the country.

  909. Encryption is a math problem. There is no way to weaken the math problem for one group without weakening it to everyone. If you require a backdoor in the application itself it will be discovered and used for malware purposes FAR in excess of anything the government would do with it. Remember the TSA approved locks with the special TSA key that was supposed to be super secret so only they can open it? My understanding is that it did not even last a few days.

  913. In our team we have modified the meetings quite a lot. Just giving a status update does not seem very useful because gitlab already captures that. Instead we focus more on if anyone is stuck, what resources they need, that kind of stuff. Since I do science and engineering programming sometimes people have actual hard issues and having a bunch of brains to help can really cut through the issues quickly. We do CI/CD and a KANBAN style of working. I sometimes wonder if the way we have modified agile just would not work for more normal software teams.

  916.  @dslamngu  Most companies already insisted on power supplies with higher standards than what his law requires. Think of how much it costs a company per year with 10K computers that most of the time are idle to have a high idle power usage? That requires more power, more cooling to offset the heat etc. and produces nothing of value. This just seems like a good idea to me.

  917. I suspect that for the laptops the extreme thinness of the device just doesn't have enough structural integrity and something happened while the device was closed that the person never considered could damage the laptop. It may even be something they didn't notice. Many of these laptops now are dangerous to even put in a backpack because if something gets squeezed up against them with very little force you can break them. The older style laptops seem far more durable.

The VAST majority of people homeless in the USA are not homeless because of mental illness. Homelessness also causes mental illness due to the stress it creates. The VAST majority of people that become homeless do so because they lose a job, leave an abusive spouse, etc. If you catch them quickly you can pick them back up and help them get going again.

  921. To mea the main thing that sets PC apart from consoles is Steam. I can keep playing my steam library when I get a new PC. I can play my steam library on something like a steamdeck. I can get games on things like humble bundle and other deals sites and add them to my library. I can go back and play games I have long had in my library. I can also easily take that library with me as I move around. I used to have game consoles but then I needed to move to Germany for a PhD. I could not take all of those things with me, they just took up too much space. Meanwhile the steam library took no space and I could just keep playing my games.

  922. The problem I have run into is how do I test code that depends on large math data structures without having a fair bit of setup? For instance I was doing work on a solver and it takes in a 4D array that is several GB in size. While I can make it much smaller that also ends up not testing the solver correctly due to the error it introduces. Saving the data structure to disk can also be a problem in terms of then trying to keep it with the code and not having the checkouts be too large. What I mostly end up with is a complex setup for some of these kinds of tests and also separate tests for every single piece I can test independently.

  923. The social media law he briefly mentioned that is being used to sue these tech companies is because companies like Twitter are spreading things like Nazi stuff in Germany, which is illegal. These companies don't care what damage they do is and it is waking society a lot worse and spreading a lot of hate and misinformation. Europe is doing something about it and the tech companies are mad about it.

  924. I ran Linux on a desktop for 10 years. What made me finally just use Windows on a desktop and Linux inside WSL2 and Linux on servers was the behavior of the Linux kernel under high IO load and the nvidia driver when used for machine learning. Even with an NVME SSD under high IO load, while running simulations, the desktop would start lagging out and have weird stuttering. I tried many different IO schedulers and ran into the same issues. Under Windows I did not have that problem and I could still use Linux for my work inside WSL2. The other issues was more serious. Whie developing neural network code in tensorflow I had a number of times where the nvidia driver crashed and since it was also running the desktop it meant that every single program died with it. Debugging a problem like that is a pain in the neck when your entire development environment also dies with it. With Windows I ran into a few crashes of the video driver also EXCEPT that on Windows the screen flashes a few times and the video driver is restarted but all your programs keep running. I was able to fix my problems much easier that way because I could see what had gone wrong.

  927. I care about the power efficiency. Power in Germany is expensive. One of the reasons I love the 7800X3D is not only is it the fastest gaming processor it also usually comes it as the most power efficient processor for games also.

  950.  @Furiends  Suburbs are already bankrupting cities. The taxes they pay is not enough to cover the services they need because the density is just so low. You are correct though that with such low density development that transit just doesn't work. However, I have seen transit work extremely well in Europe. Most places you can just walk or take a bike and then use transit if you need to go further. I also don't think houses can be investments. I just don't think it works. In order for you to be paid more for your house than you paid for it then either the person that buys it has to pay a higher percentage of their income or they have to be paid more. The first removes money that could be doing something more useful and the second is basically inflation.

  952. This seems like a good idea but with poor information. I have no problem with a computer using a lot of power when it is doing something but they really should not be using much when idle. There are tens of millions of computers in california and even a small bit of efficiency on each one adds up to a large change. This means less power usage for you and less need to cool to deal with the excess heat. Is there really any reason we should accept that a computer pulls so much power when it is idle? We fixed those old analog power supplies that sucked down almost as much power when off as on that used to power so many devices.

  965.  @Savvynomad225 some scope changes occur due to understanding the problem better at the scope narrowed to something that is more realistic to deliver. In other cases there are external needs that drive changes in scope. In all cases we use CI/CD to make a continuously working system and we work with the various stakeholders at every step. If they do want to make a chance they are kept informed in the entire process and what that change will cost in terms of time. Since they work directly with the developers we often find ways to cut that time down because the stakeholders can be informed of the price of their various options.

  969. I think we should be looking into the role of social media in this. We know that the riots in the UK have been pushed on social media, mostly Twitter and to some extent TikTok. It looks very much like Russia is behind a lot of the misinformation. In Germany we have even seen Russians try to kill elected leaders. I think authoritarians have realized how easy it is to weaponize social media. People are more likely to believe when they are afraid. Given that musk told the EU to go f**k themselves when they pointed out all of the problems on his platform I think we probably just need to ban Twitter and TikTok. They are destabilizing our socieities. I think we should also treat these attacks from Russia as actual attacks.

  977. You need to make mixed use walkable cities. If a city is just where you drive to in order to work then there is not much reason to stay. A bunch of office buildings don't make a sustainable area. If you have mixed apartments, shopping, offices, etc. the area is a lot more stable and more of a place people want to live. Being a place people want to lives helps keep jobs there because companies also locate where they can find workers. This is also why stuff like Airbnb are bad for cities are should be much more heavily regulated. It creates areas with few people in them which hurts businesss in the area and make it less likely for someone to want to live in that area.

  978. Your computer converts 100% of the electrical energy that goes into the power supply into heat energy. Use something that measures power usage and that is how much heat the system generates. If you reduce the power the computer uses you will reduce how much heat goes into the room. You can have a more efficient power supply, undervolting, power limiting, more agressive power management etc.

I also see them chasing fads that harm the company long term and only push up the stock price but not profits short term. Look at the companies that have fired thousands of workers to replace them with AI chatbots that do a very poor job compared to the people they replaced. If the decision was based purely on economics we would have moved away from fossil fuels much faster but there are entrenched interests that don't want that and it isn't about the money.

  989. I work in a heavily regulated environment. While we do test every piece independently we also deploy to a test environment that is a clone of production and a group of people has to manually check to make sure everything is correct with a well documented test script to follow. With lives on the line for making a mistake the process is slow to prevent any accidents.

  990.  @ContinuousDelivery  Somehow we need to convince the regulators of that. We do test every piece independently with automated test suites and normal CI/CD systems. It is just that at some point a decision is made to release to production and all of that stuff is moved to a test server. We already know all the tests have passed but people need to go through and check many things manually before it can be released to production.

  991. Houses are just not viable investments in terms of the negative consequences on society. If you sell your home for more than you paid then either 1) the person buying it is being paid more than you or 2) the person is paying a higher percentage of their income. Option 1 drives inflation and that is what has been driving inflation for quite a long time now. So you sell your house for more but adjusted for inflation you mostly just break even. Option 2 is bad for the economy is basically just siphons money away from doing anything useful.

However, those same companies don't have their officers in a place that people can live nearby and you are expected to give up 1-2 hours/day in unpaid work just to work for them. I think the other part of the issue is that the executives are also invested in commercial property and that is apparently doing badly right now with so many people working from home.

  997. Updating without restarting on a modern GUI Linux is remarkable hard to do. You can install the updates but since the files are reference counted the old files are still being used by programs that already have them open. In order to actually do the upgrade you have to shut down every program using the files and then reopen them again. The more towards the core a library is the harder this is to do. If a library like gtk was upgraded you would have to shut down X and restart it. At some point you are better off just rebooting and guaranteeing the update is applied. I have seen systems before get broken into because they never restarted. The software running was still vulnerable even though the vulnerable software could no longer be seen on the filesystem. The admin thought they had applied the update and everything was fine when it was not.

The longer we put that off the worse it gets. If they choose to use nuclear weapons there is nothing we can actually do about it. We can continue to help Ukraine to defend itself and Russia knows if they do use nuclear weapons that is the end.

  1001. I read recently that after some extensive studying about 90% of all of the inflation is just companies increasing their profits. It is not about the cost of workers, materials, etc. Those are just excuses to raise the prices. The people at the top have decided they don't have enough and they want more. Sure they already have hundred million dollar yachts and some of their own space programs but it is clearly not enough. sigh what a bad world we live in.

Given anyone capable of doing this can already get a good job working somewhere else why work for Trump?

  1009. A monopoly board tipping event would have made the pandemic FAR more severe. What the USA should have done is what Germany and other european countries did and that was cover payroll for companies so you stay employed at the same companies at your same wages. As companies are able to reopen and run, even if for limited periods of time, the government support cuts back based on the company making money again. It has made reopening easy, no real social unrest, and people where willing to stay at home because they where no going to lose their jobs, health care, living places etc. This system was also CHEAPER and easier to implement than what we did.

  1025. Fundamentally governments don't want to encourage changes that would encourage people to have children. Sure they will give you some money but that doesn't solve the stability problems. Houses are expensive and seen as investments. If you built enough houses for everyone you would drive down the value of the investment so governments won't do that. You need more education than ever to do well and by the time you have gone through all of that most are just not interested in children anymore. We have also built societies that are accepting of parents. In many places you can't get off work to take care of your kid. You will suffer permanent reduction in income from a child. It also makes the family more precarious. If the husband loses his job the family is often screwed and that also creates a lot of pressure. Dual income no kids is just safer given how companies behave right now. No matter how well you do at work you can be fired just to make the line go up.

  1027. Lets be honest the facts of the case didn't matter. The supreme court made the decisions they wanted to make and the law and facts really don't factor into it. The court has made it abundantly clear that this is the best court that money can buy. The justices also made it quite clear they don't want any code of conduct applied to themselves. At this point they are a bunch of partisans appointed for life and they will make whatever decisions they want with no accountability. I wonder how long it will be before some states just refuse to recognize the authority of the supreme court anymore. I don't see that going down a good path but I also don't see an alternative.

I just don't think it should be legal for a person to own thousands of homes and then rent them out.

  1034. I think the repair should be included. Without the repair the car would essentially be lost Repairing it returns the item to useful survive and does help the economy. I would include the price of the new engine and the labor. Otherwise your metric would say that maintaining a bridge is bad and that it is better for the economy to let the bridge fail and then be replaced and that is clearly not true since the economic damage while the bridge is not there is large. If the GDP metric favors letting the bridge collapse and replacing with a new bridge it is a bad metric since optimizing it also creates bad outcomes for the economy.

  1036. Cars have a place but too much of the society is devoted to them. The taxes collected don't cover the costs of maintaining all the infrastructure they need. Nobody wants to pay the taxes that would be required. In the end cars are bankrupting our cities and towns and we have to cut back on them. A few towns even posted budget information that they installed bike lines to save on costs. The bikes lanes break down FAR slower and that allowed them to use the money to maintain fewer car lanes.

Given how deadly some of the new variants are and some of the new places damage is showing up (like in the ears) the long term consequences will be severe. Oh, and don't think Europe is any better. About 30-50% of French and Germans are not getting vaccinated.

All the metrics have shown that it is resulting in higher productivity, better work life balance, lower stress, and higher employee retention.

If you want to go to the office that is fine, if you are doing something that needs to be done in the office then you will need to be there (like running an experiment) but if you don't need to be there then don't be there. We are even getting rid of office space.

  1049. What this says to me is that an MMO that depends on PvP has a really hard path and if you have 3-way or more faction combat it gets even harder. The most successful is probably something like eve online but even that has a very small and stable player base. I think that for an MMO to work it needs a primary PvE component that can work completely separately from PvP and can work solo and small groups. It gives you a kind of floor to make the game viable where you have people that login and can do stuff. Part of how ESO has survived is you can play it like a single player game but still team up and do events if you want. Even Everquest 1 is still around and with just a few people you can do most content outside of raids and that helps stabilize the system.

  1050. Facebook is lying about what AI can do. It is not even a tiny bit as capable as what they present. They can't moderate these systems because there are too many posts to look at. If you go outside of English the moderation basically drops to nothing even if Facebook is informed of people using their service for genocide they ignore it. The real problem is that Facebook uses an algorithm for posts that is a paperclip maximizer. Their algorithm focuses on engagement to get people to interact as much as possible. People interact more with negative things than positive things and so their algorithm, by design, highlights all of this garbage and spreads it. Moderation will never work but regulating their algorithm that maximizes engagement would.

If I wanted to keep the same quality of apartment and I moved back to where I could live in a similar walkable areas as I live in Germany I would need about $70K/year just to pay for the cost difference in rent. That would not even pay for food and other increases. I have looked at the numbers and as best I can tell I would be worse off if I went back to the USA and others I know and work with are worse off. I just don't see the USA doing so amazingly better.

They use it for modeling various reactions and it really does a good job with assisting this kind of code. Also once they have their system in code with tests I can then have someone that is a better programmer improve it but first it has to work correctly. As a senior developer I also find that these tools help me prototype much more rapidly. I was able to test a number of different neural network designs and realized they did not work for our problem and why along with documenting what I learned. It took about a day to do it and would have taken a few days to do it without an AI.

  1065. One thing I don't think is considered is that highly efficient systems also tend to be very fragile. When they break the costs can be EXTREME to deal with the problems. This was found during the pandemic with things like protective gear. So while subsidizing local industry does impose a cost on the tax payer it is not remotely clear to me that the cost is higher than not doing it. You might be able to avoid paying the price for the system collapsing for a few decades but eventually something will go wrong. Just in Time manufacturing with supply chains timed without large storage warehouses has proven to be a bad idea and extremely damaging.

  1075.  @bullfrog5037  An economy built on endless growth is unsustainable. We could change the economy to work with a stable system but we won't do that. It would mean paying everyone more equally instead of a few getting all the rewards. We also have a truly insane cost of housing and by the time people feel stable they are no longer interested in having more kids or even kids at all. I don't think that cities are the problem it is how we setup our economic system. I also think that renting out apartments and houses should probably be illegal, it just has too many negative side effects on the system. We have a few billionaires buying up ridiculous amounts of housing and dramatically increasing pricing in the areas. I think you should be able to buy or some kind of collective ownership in a building. This would drive prices of housing down hard and should have positive, but disruptive, impacts across the economy from what I have read.

  1076.  @MoonLightOnWater1  I judge places by what they do not what they say they want. It is very clear that countries don't want more children because they enact policies that make it harder for people to start families. Everything from policies that increase the price of housing to policies that make it too expensive to have children and policies that require people start later in life due to education requirements deter people from having children. Endless growth is also unsustainable.

That is the point of social distancing and all of these cleaning procedures is that it does not just flatten the exponential curve it also reduces the total number of cases. There has also been some interesting research recently that the virus is not directly killing people. It is causing a cytokine storm and we have medications for that which are being tested right now. Trying to delay this problem as much as possible gives time to development treatments to make the virus less lethal even if we don't have vaccines.

  1086. I think we should have made the country less hostile. There is really no reason that the country needs to be so cutthroat all the time. If you look at European countries they are MUCH better on this. Right now we have media companies that KNOW and have admitted they are destroying society because it is profitable. They don't cover things politicians do that are actually useful because that is boring. Instead they focus on money at all costs and that means focusing on controversy ... even if they have to make it. I truly believe that if aliens invaded earth and they where badly prepared and we where beating them badly that the media companies would give them weapons and show them how to use them in order to make the fight more interesting. Even if it led to the completely destruction of the human race they would do it and talk about how high their profits where right until the final moments.

  1088. I HATE the rented ones. People just step off of them and will leave them in the middle of the sidewalk. I have even seen someone just step off of one in front of a store and seen a woman fall over it and hurt herself badly enough that an ambulance was called. The ones that people own they put somewhere out of the way and lock it up. I have no problem with those but these rented ones as a nuisance.

  1089.  @Selvarin  Ran better? You must be on a different planet than I am on. From what I can see they are having far more service outages than ever before. They are also running afoul of more regulations than ever before. Elon Musk is going to lose a large court case with huge fines in the EU for firing a bunch of people with no notice. H would have known that if he had not fired the HR people. He is also going to face large fines or even get twitter banned from the EU for violating some other laws. He also seems to have run off most of the advertisers and completely tanked the revenue.

  1090. You just keep reinforcing why I went back to physical media. I just buy movies on disk and then watch them locally. I am done with the streaming services. There are so many movies I have that are not on ANY streaming service and even buying a physical copy now is hard.

  1091. The situation is a little bit more complex for water cooling vs air cooling impacting the room. Basically 100% of the energy that goes into a computer will leave as heat (minus a few tiny things). If water cooling allows the computer to run cooler and as a result is turbos higher and pulls more power then more heat will be put into the room. If the power usage of the system remains the same then water cooling will make no change vs air cooling. It is also possible for water cooling to cool the system such that it takes a little less power to reach the same performance and so there is less energy going into the system and so the room would be cooler. Basically. you create an imaginary bounded box around the entire computer and look if water cooling raises, lowers or does nothing to the total energy usage. The room heats up based on that.

  1092.  @berkes  Automated testing is designed to catch issues, if you don't have it you are screwed anyways. I have not had Python become less maintainable over time due to language issues. I have had poor coders make bad code and that becomes less maintainable but I see that in any language. That is something senior developers need to enforce and mentor to fix.

  1093. You don't even need a super intelligent AI. Look at the paperclip maximizer thought experiment. It is not a super intelligent general AI but would still wipe out all life. We see aspects of this already with social media. Maximizing engagement is like a paperclip maximizer and we can see the widespread damage this is causing around the world. These systems are already undermining governments, election systems, and spread conspiracy theories further than ever before because that stuff drives engagement. Even knowing what is happening and the damage it is causing the companies involved see no reason to stop it because they are making a lot of money.

  1094.  @elihaun9886  My point is that we should convert office buildings to living spaces so people would live in the cities. It would add a lot more housing which would bring the price down to live there. It would also have people there which would then frequent all those shops. We can solve the problem of workers there without working on an office.

  1095.  @BlueBD  That is why I think more of those business places should be converted to places to live. People can work from home and buy at local businesses, go to shows, parks, etc.

  1101. I still don't get how the physics of this work. Even if you have a perfect connection and you get data to the data center at the speed of light with no delays of any kind and it processes nearly instantly on the remote end and the data comes back the same way the delays would still be far larger than you get with a normal console or PC. That is what most of the reviews also find that the experience is laggy and the delays are kind of random which is what you expect when dealing with the internet. I just don't see how any computing technology change can fix this or why it would be the future. From what I can see the speed of light is the reason that cloud based gaming will always be limited compared to consoles and PC.

  1102. The supreme court actually gave itself this power long ago. They where never meant to be a coequal branch of government. The legislative branch is effectively broken because of the invention of the filibuster and then later changing it to just a piece of paperwork that you file. You can have an endless filibuster and that effectively means anything requires 2/3 support so nothing gets done. The minority party also realized the the majority is blamed for not being bipartisan when that is often solely in control of the minority party. The situation is going to get a LOT worse. I don't see how we will get 2/3 democrats elected to the senate to actually get things done and the polarization will get worse. I don't think it will be long before states just start ignoring the supreme court.

  1106. Just admit it the supreme court is a corrupt partisan political organization. They don't decide based on the law. Any attempt to have some level of accountability is avoided by all of them. The chief Justice says he is very worried about the credibility of the court .. and he should be because right now they have no credibility and they need to get some.

  1115. I really hope that RDNA3 ends up being more power efficient. I don't want a card that pulls this much power. I want a card to pull as little power as possible to hit a target framerate. I should just be able to set a target framerate for a game based on the kind of game it is and the system should pull as little power as possible to hit that target. This chasing performance way beyond the point of diminishing returns just seems like a huge waste of power to me.

  1130. Overall I am pretty happy with air cooling. I have a 7800X3D and I have undervolted and power limited it a bit. I get about 95% of stock performance but with a FAR lower power usage. I also have an RTX 4080. I put about a 90% power limit on it. I get more than 95% of the stock performance but it sure does run cooler and use less power. Its seem most of these devices are overclocked out of the box and are WAY pass the diminishing returns curve and you can get a lot of power and heat for almost no loss in performance.

  1133. What I would like to see is some kind of heat pump system for a computer. Move the heat somewhere that is more useful so the computer stays much cooler. Move the heat from the computer to heat the water or something like that. It would be good for lots of electronics to keep them cooler and use the heat for something useful. I wonder what it would be like if all electronics had some kind of inlet and outlet heat connector as standard and hookups in houses for them.

  1135. What I have found is that junior developers need the harder coding experiences to learn and get better. It is one of the reasons we don't let kids use a calculator until they get better at math. With junior developers I am still working with them to break up their code into smaller pieces and make the code more testable. What I have found out though is that seniors that write good code where you have clear names, parameters, interfaces, short functions that do a single thing that AI is great at helping with that. It helps with the writing and testing. Part of that is that by the time you write the name of the function and the parameters you have already made the problem quite narrow.

  1137. Seeing this reminds me of something a physics professor I had said. You may not believe in gravity but gravity believes in you. The virus does not have a political party, it doesn't care who you voted for or if you voted at all. Politicizing the science around this virus and the treatments for it are something that humans have done and have nothing to do with the virus. I just wish there was a way to stop how polarized almost everything is getting. Right now I think that aliens could invade and one political party would choose to side with the aliens and the other against it. It wouldn't matter if the aliens where trying to wipe out all of humanity.

  1140. What I have noticed is that highly functional teams are already pretty agile. However, I see managers try to add agile to non-functional teams and that just fails. I also see many companies use SAFE which is pretty far from agile. It is hard to get anything done with managers twist agile to micromanage. Mostly the way companies use SAFE still looks like waterfall to me.

  1144. I just don't have any respect for the supreme court anymore. It is clear they make their decisions based on politics and then twist the law to fit their views. They don't just implement the law. Eventually the composition of the court will change and then your rights will change also. The supreme court needs to be massively reformed. I have heard ideas to expand it to 20 members or so and then not all cases will be heard by all members and they would all have term limits. The point is to make it less of a political fight so any one justice is not as important. To me the supreme court is no longer the ultimate decider of the law. They are just another partisan group that GAVE THEMSELVES this power and don't deserve any respect or attention. I think that New York and others should just ignore the supreme courts rulings on guns and continue to block concealed carry.

  1146. Never. Bankers have threatened to destroy the entire world economy if we hold them responsible for any of the stuff they do ... and they can do it. So in the end they can take whatever they want and destroy anything they want and we have to bail them out every time and if we try to prosecute them for it they will destroy the system to make sure nobody tries to do that again. I only see two solutions to this. 1) Nationalize all the banks so we don't have private banks. 2) Break up all the banks until they are at most city level banks and then regulate them.

It is pretty clear they judge based on if they are democrat or republican judges and if they judged based on the law that would not be the outcome. I am also quite certain that as more investigation is done we will find more judges are owned. Honestly we need to remove all of them. We need a code of ethics and some way to depoliticize the court. Maybe we choose 9 judges randomly from all federal judges and they serve a 1 year term or something like that. I don't know but what we have now is clearly not working.

  1154. Honestly what I find AI tools work best on is for very narrow things. If I make a function where I give it a good name, good parameters, and define the return value and I know that it should take less than 10 loc then copilot will usually get it at least 90% correct. I will then make a unit test for it and then verify if it is correct or not and the move on to the next one. I spend almost no time debugging because if something is wrong it is just faster to add unit tests as I go to test each part to trace down what is wrong and then it can't happen again. What I notice that junior engineers do is they have vague function names, they don't know what the input and output parameters should be and based on the name the scope of the function is far too large and it would cause the model to generate far too much code which won't work.
    1
  1155.  @eduardreisig5582  I do a combination. Some tests are so simple that while I am writing the name of the test copilot manages to fill in the test body the same way I would have done it. Other times I will accept and then edit and other times I write it comletely myself. I use pytest and fixtures and copilot tries to copy the kind of code you are already writing so once it sees the fixtures I am using and the pattern of how I test the code it does a pretty decent job of following up.
    1
  1156.  @karlwest437  it will get the structure correct and it saves me having to look up some library call. I don't remember all the methods of dataframes, numpy arrays, scipy functions etc. but copilot can get those right almost every time so that still saves me time of having to look it up and then get back to coding. Also 10 loc and it taking maybe 1 second to generate it still saves quite a lot of time.

  1157. You can't just feed AI data. You have to actually carefully design a neural network with layers, connections, loss functions, training methods etc. You then have to select your training data and provide a lot of computing power to train your system. The odds are your first designs won't work and it will require extensive changes. Unless you are approximating a math equation the outcome is also unstable and you can prove it is unstable. It can't just solve most problems. People have to intentionally try to design a system to solve problems and then validate that their designed system does so within a certain confined range.
