I don’t think it’s different politics directly in China. The people believe that change means change for the better. In the west people have lost all hope for progress.

I let Claude translate a horribly written vb program writing some xml data into a pdf form. Most of the code I didn't even read until much later, I just checked the end result. The code won't be touched again, and if it will simpl

The societal advantage of raising prices with demand is that it will lead to more supply generally, but in some cases supply is just simply limited and cannot be expanded enough sensibly. This leads just to people earning money without any

France still gets around a quarter of its uranium from russia and partnerships between Framatome and Rosatom are still going on: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-russian-state-owned-n...

How about the VVER-440 still running e.g. in the Czech Republic and Slovakia that lack proper containment? Still only Russia being Russia?

Chernobyl lacked a containment and there are still reactors of the same type running without containment in Russia.

Europe managed to get off Russian Gas, but didn’t manage to get off Russian uranium industry. You correctly identified the chokepoints and Russia can’t be replaced fast there.

Don't forget the organisational overhead. You'll need managers and communication overhead between developers grows superlinear (see Brook's law).

It's not the 20x efficiency of harvesting technology compared to what agrarian societies that make them make sense. It's the productivity of the other 95% of the population that makes their labor cost so high that such expensive m

To me it reads more like they are struggling to scale with requests and are trying to find ways that hurt users the least.

It’s not 100% of oil production capacity that is lost, but 20%. You need to cut demand by that, so electric cars can help extremely, because most oil is consumed during car use, not production.

I think you cannot take the step from any turing machine being representable as a neural network to say anything about the prowess of learned neural networks instead of specifically crafted ones. I think a good example are calculations or c

Much simpler: just store session ids in Redis. I skimmed over the previous articles in this blog and they don't seem to mention the one use case JWTs were made for: having a separate authentication server from the application server. M

That's the idea behind it. The reality is that patents are written in a way to reveal as few as possible while blocking other companies as much as possible.

There's another perspective you can see in the comparison with the dot com boom. The web is here to stay, but a lot of ideas from the beginning didn't work out and a lot of companies turned bankrupt.

The problem is that you get a vastly distorted picture because of different survivorship rates of artifacts. In the Stone Age people used mostly wood tools but stone tools didn’t rot away.

It’s a ISO-standard to use Gregorian dates even for dates predating its invention. If you need to support anything else (I never had to in my Eurocentric work so far), you’ll need to model calendars, similar to how temporal did for JavaScri

Genuinely curious: Are non-ascii characters also case-insensitive. With Unicode comes different case-sensitivity rules according to Unicode version and locale.

On the other hand talking about those believes can also lead to real changes. Slavery used to be seen widely a necessary evil, just like for instance war.

I don't disagree with you that you need to have a singe cohesive design vision based on solving for users. But I think that certainly usability testing can lead to even better results and is mostly constrained by cost.

It is very impressive indeed, but impressiveness is not the same as usefulness. If important further features can’t get implemented anymore The usefulness is pretty limited. And usefulness further needs to be weighed against cost.
