Maybe. As a counterpoint: isn't popularity of a library more a metric of API convemience than actual code quality? And isn't popularity of an essay more about how it conforms to existing beliefs than the quality of the thinking?

Solid point. A bit tangential, but I've recently been baffled as to why is this belief held by so many: "since LLMs are trained on online data, they are re-trained with their own AI slop, further damaging them. Soon bad code will

I realized I have aphantasia, not SDAM, just a year ago or so. Mine is mild because I have visual dreams, but just can't get anything going when I'm awake. I'm now playing around with visualizations just when I'm falling

"You don’t believe in IPR. Then shut the fuck up about IPR." As a software engineer, I need to call out this rhetoric. We are not all morally bankrupt. Many of the people with the most ethical backbone I know are also software e

Indeed, this is a vexing problem. Role models influence so much of peoples' behavior, that I fear they are needed to change what is considered success. But the people suited to be role models rarely want to be. I don't know the an

Just like individual flow, group flow is not an automatic and you can do great things without it. Its role also is not to keep the group "together".

I reached a similar conclusion with my own blog[0] and run a small rust process that parses access logs. However, I could only find a need to know which posts are popular and which give 404 errors, nothing else. I'd argue that for big

These are "words that deserve wider use". If this site is successful then some of these words become popular, and eventually people don't need to look them up anymore.

What's very important to note is that a big bulk of the recent reductions have come from picking low-hanging fruits, i.e. by replacing coal with natural gas. This does not mean that going to zero will be possible with just more of the

The teacher of course brings the material to the student, typically by presenting it by making statements. If the emvironment is right and the teacher has good pedagogical skills, that should spur questions from the students.

This reminds me of a gem I picked up in my pedagogical studies: the aim of effective learning is for the student to ask from the teacher to explain something they don't understand. That both guarantees relevance and is highly likely to

For the record, I agree with your criticism. I did generalize my experience without enough justification. It was a 30 second runaway comment and the latter part clearly doesn't hold up against scrutiny.

A more critical issue with just electrifying cars without also reducing the number of them, is that it's completely inadequate to meet CO2 targets. A new study in Nature Communications modelled this for London and found that: "[T]

Exactly. Electrification of single-occupancy vehicles – which, let's face it, is what the overwhelming majority of the EV business is really about – is not ecological. When you take into account environmental stress in general[0], and

A major addition to this report compared to previous ones was the emphasis on "demand side" mitigations. That means scaling down excess energy use in a way that doesn't compromise people's quality of life. For example th
