The problem with this entire discussion is that we use terms like "wages" and "productivity", which have meanings in the English language, and associate them with metrics which are utterly divorced from those meanings. To have a sane discussion, we're forced to use these shorthands, but the fact of the matter is that if we spelled out what we were actually measuring it would be very clear that all of these phenomena being measured refer to things disconnected from any of our actual experience.

Even more so, the methodology for most of this data has changed so much over time, with so little overlap between methodologies, that we have literally no idea what the state of the world was even a few years ago. All we have are a mixture of giant measurement artifacts, and when two of them correlate we celebrate because we might have found a metric that can bridge the divide between methodologies, but that correspondence disappears as soon as we try to find out if there are systemic changes -- our ability to determine whether something has changed has an implicit reliance on the assumption that nothing has changed, so all of these arguments become circular.

Econometrics is a philosophical dead end that just ends up producing broken policies disconnected from reality and causing us to make up a new suite of politically-motivated metrics to match the outcomes that we're looking for, and then give the metrics names that refer to things that have intuitive meanings and pretend we've found insight.

You really have to go back to non-econometric-based economics (the Austrians, von Mises and Hayek) to get any sort of insight into how economies can be made to work at scale, and the answer is that we don't understand them, and that technological progress and population changes mean that attempts to push them in a direction will have side effects that far outweigh any of the attempted influence.
The problem isn’t the technical standards: Right now in my living room I get around 10 Mbps download on 3G (HSPA) and around 20-30 Mbps on 4G (LTE). Latency between the two is almost the same: 1 to 2 ms difference. In some places 3G is still better due to better signal conditions.

I remember getting those speeds back in 2009, ten years ago, when the maximum speed I could get on cable was 3 Mbps.

Main difference, and I guess the real business growth motivator, are the data caps. Back then I had a data allowance in the low hundreds of megabytes which made streaming music and video an expensive endeavor, while the cheapest plans now start at a couple gigabytes.

Cable latencies in the last mile won’t help when your patient is half a world 250ms away due to the speed of light. But it might enable gaming and other real time uses, though.
It is not hard to place a label on a phenomena, but what we could achieve by such a labelling?

Lets for example look at obscure dress codes which no one truly understands, but some can follow them while others do not. Meritocracy in action? Yeah. And what? Such a mechanism would work with any society, with hunter-gatherers, with capitalists or socialists. It is a human nature, you cannot fix it by a label. Maybe it is possible to invent some clever solution to a problem (some kind of anti-fashion? or afahsion? agnofashion? or maybe some kind of strictly formalized dress codes, like in army?), but to invent it one needs no labels, labels could even be an obstacle because they frame a potential inventor into (possibly) wrong pattern of thinking.

Or we can look at financial help from parents. Meritocracy? Yes, a good label for it. And what? Labelling doesn't help us in this case also. (Communists in Soviet Russia at their start had a solution for that problem: lets rip children from their parents and place them into orphanage. Such a way all children will have equal chances, they will be equal. Moreover it will help with breaking apart old ugly social customs and prejudices, we actually have a chance to make a reality from fairy tale of "Soviet Human". Later commuists became more human-like and instead of orphanage they promoted nurseries, kindergathens, and so on, so a young Soviet Human could be educated from his birth how to be a Soviet Human by professionals. This less radical and more humanistic solution was not perfect, but worked for some lengths)

Labelling mostly used by humans to make excuse for not thinking about a problem. By placing label one put an end to a thinking and happily continues his travel through life without inconvenient feeling that he understands nothing about reality.

That's definitely not true generally for GCC on floating point computation. O3 gets you vectorization, especially with -ffast-math (and extra loop optimizations recently). That's not to say it's always faster, of course; measure, as ever.
This is especially true if you tend to have an insecure attachment style due to adverse childhood experiences (unstable home, toxic parenting, etc). Better to be securely attached to one person than weakly attached to 10, or even 100.
There is 5G and there is 5G mmWave. They are two separate parts of "5G". There are still advantages to sub 6GHz standard cell phone frequencies such as lower latency and higher throughput.

The disadvantages you mention only apply to 5G mmWave.
May be you got it backwards: people who can't deal with numbers have to stick to the same routine. They can't afford the flexibility, the optimization.
>Also, note that GPU support on Android is usually a lot better compared to Linux. This is because they are using an older, more mature kernel.

The kernel has very little to do with GPU support. It only contains a small shim to allow userspace libraries to access the hardware.

GPU support on Android is done entirely through proprietary code, sourced from the chip vendor. Even projects like Lineage OS use binary blobs pulled from the vendor's packages.

I wonder, is it that your body is worried about getting food and will cut off sleep to give you more time to find it, or is it that the build up of chemicals like adenosine(which seems to play a role in sleepiness, and gets cleared out during sleep.) in the body has slowed so that less sleep is required?

"You can’t put Elon Musk in jail; he has a whole company for drilling tunnels! Let’s be fair to Musk: On the one hand, absolutely, he has been going around saying that he does not respect the law and is going to ignore the SEC and a court order, but on the other hand he has also been going around saying that he’s got a big drill. Also rocket ships, submarines, flamethrowers, possibly flying cars, basically the whole arsenal of supervillain technology. The message is not just “I do not care about the law”; it is also “and you can’t stop me bwahahaha.”

See my post immediately above about if the warrant canary is in the company's public financial statements.
It would cost a tiny amount to state your opinion as an individual, but spamming an opinion would be more expensive. A problem is that deep pockets would allow you to fake wide support for a minority position, and that most of the money would just circle within an opinion group.

Ultimately I think we will come around to the idea of verified digital identities almost everywhere. You could still have an AI agent spam in your name (or pseudonym), but you could not pretend to be multiple people.
That's actually not correct for most users. Most well-known case is India, where the OS language is usually set to 'English' for $REASONS, but people still prefer content in Hindi. (Or Urdu)

Guessing what language a user actually speaks is not straightforward.
> So you can be in contempt now if you don’t match what analysts are saying?

"Materiality" is weird, I agree! Matt Levine has a running line that "everything is securities fraud" these days.

To be clear, he is in contempt of the court order around materiality. In general, not matching what analysts say isn't contempt of court, of course.

> The definition of materiality you provided clears him as the numbers Musk tweeted are in the their quarterly report, so nothing new was learned.

I do not agree. The quarterly report says "our goal is to be able to produce 10,000 vehicles per week on a sustained basis. Barring unexpected challenges with Gigafactory Shanghai, we are targeting annualized Model 3 output in excess of 500,000 units sometime between Q4 of 2019 and Q2 of 2020."

The tweet said "“Tesla made 0 cars in 2011, but will make
around 500k in 2019.”

Those are very, very different statements! Musk's tweet indicates dramatically higher production at the end of 2019.
i'd say "beautiful" in this context is shorthand for "built with attention towards aesthetics", which is often not the case for programmer tools like this
Except all those are examples of acting in bad faith. The question at hand here is whether the government can compel you to keep the canary in place after a search/siezure.

The only bad faith might be using warrant canaries knowing that they may still be able to be compelled legally to comply.
One point I don't see in the other responses: that conflation is way more coherent when you're looking at specific areas.

Citylab is looking at relative wealth in cities, and urban poverty really is hugely tied to race in the US for a bunch of reasons ranging from inherited wealth (having ancestors who owned land is a very big deal if they bought it in now-expensive cities) to overt discrimination in the recent past (white flight, blockbusting, etc.)

Looking around the country as a whole, things get much less clear. There are heavily-white rural areas where lots of people are in extreme, <$2/day poverty. (Although nonwhite people in comparable places are generally even worse off.) And then other areas (e.g. northern US suburbs) are heavily white, but (in large part thanks to selection bias like housing prices) they don't necessarily have major racial wealth gaps among the people who do live there.

The national numbers are a pretty confusing mixture of inequality in comparable situations and differences between situations, but looking at specific areas like Los Angeles the association is disturbingly strong.

I have been working in the same field, quite a few years in my own forecasting company and then later on as a side project.

Not wanting to steal the thunder of Deepmind, but I feel should mention my site which is currently beta as in "works for a few electricity power load and supply forecasting scenarios" and quite well so. Also, it's out there, cheap and fast.

Unfortunately, it's only in German but the basic rule is:

- upload an excel (or csv) file

- wait a minute or so (for a typical dataset of say 3 years of hourly data)

- get back the results

There are a few design rules how the excel file should look like, e.g.,

- a date/time series per sheet (it accepts most English and European formats) and as many number series as you want (always use a decimal point instead of comma here)

- one series has to have consecutive missing numbers at the end, this will be the target value

Other than that, it should just work.

Feel free to comment.

I wonder who does that. All my experience with non-tech people tells me that they don't expect anything from software, just accept how it is, but they do get annoyed if it doesn't let them do their jobs quickly. Designing for the needs of normal people seems to go in the exact opposite direction to the current UX trends. When UX trends lead to slow, thin, shiny applications, users would be happier with dense and fast applications which minimize time spent in them.

French here.

Yes, the english level is terrible in my country. Unfortuntly, translation is imperative if you want to enter the market. Which sucks, because it's a huge waste. There is not benefit to it: a UI is not like a book, you don't lose some quality in translation. In fact, most UI are worse once translated because english is a short and to the point language, which is what you want for buttons and menus.
I've just bought this Scientific American issue a week ago in an used book store for around 2$. Mainly because of Wirth and Kay and to read some early Wolfram. Strange coincidence to see this here now.
Totally agree and yet I get downvoted, presumably by those who enjoyed the n word in the program.
That’s a view that works if you want a static job, like a passport inspector. No one expects or wants them to go “above and beyond.” But in a company like Google, the work that needs to be done is far harder to define, and change frequently. You cannot expect to be promoted or even stay employed if you are just planning on doing what was specifically enumerated in the job description when you applied. for the job.

Quay.io's scanning feature does one really cool thing: it tells you the version of the package that actually fixes the CVE, eg:

CVE-2017-15232 libjpeg-turbo

Current version: 1.5.2-r0

Fixed version: 1.5.3-r0

This actually helps you get actionable data. You can even sort by "stuff I can fix".
3. Land owners and construction companies want to make as much money as possible.

Everyone does. Greed is only greed when it's someone else. Developers in cities with permissive land-use and zoning laws aren't better people than developers in cities like San Francisco or Vancouver. It's just that there are enough of them and there's enough development that they need to compete with each other.

Unless you can override these three groups, or get them to agree, it is a social issue and building more will make things worse. Look at the record from essentially every city that has been building

Stop. Just stop. Seriously. This trope needs to die now.

This is exactly what anti-housing advocates in Vancouver are claiming right now - that the city has been building and building and building, and prices just keep going up. So why give those awful developers what they want, right?

What they don't mention is that the metro area population is growing by more than 2% per year and compared to the number of homes being built each year, we're hopelessly behind. The reason prices keep going up is because we're not building enough, such is the incredible demand to live and work here. And I suspect this is the case with most cities with crazy-low rental vacancy rates and crazy high prices.

Berlin (and Vancouver, and San Francisco) will do anything to reduce housing costs except build more housing.
I'm curious, do you take potassium and sodium supplements while water-fasting?
Right, this is about contempt of court, not actual fraud, good point.

It sounds like you think "contempt of court" shouldn't matter. I think it should. It's hard to have a society with rule of law if people ignore court orders, even cool people like Elon.
> The hammer's normal relation to the woodworker is just its ordinary function; the tool's own presence recedes.

We see the same thing with auto racing. Really experienced drivers "feel" as if the car is an extension of themselves. Its mechanical nature disappears beneath conscious thought.

My hypothesis (admittedly based on little evidence) is this is an optimization function due to conscious thought being a relatively slow process. Once the autopilot has integrated the necessary functions the conscious mind can get out of the way and focus on more "important" things. This appears to apply to memory as well: unless the situation is in some way extraordinary the brain doesn't bother keeping full details in long-term storage. When interrogated later our minds just make up the likely details and call it good enough.

> But then I also wonder if there's something suspicious about the pilot/autopilot dualism. It seems to mirror dualisms like culture/nature and animal/human. Maybe what we think of as piloting is not as critical, rational, and creative as we are inclined to believe?

If it helps I was thinking of the mind as four layers: unintelligent instinctual/automatic systems, subconscious processing, autopilot, and pilot (conscious rational mind).

That said I think you are correct: being critical, rational, or creative is probably rarer than we like to believe. Maybe it is partially a cultural belief, as if admitting we are just cruising through life most of the time makes us seem stupid or un-human?

Even then if you can just get rid of one support person you can save enough to buy a lot of from AWS just taking into account the management you don’t have to do - if you automate.
Another example: Emerson Lake & Palmer, album Brain Salad Surgery, track Karn Evil 9. That's the line "Welcome back, my friends / To the show that never ends". The song is split across the two tape sides, and that's how the second movement begins, to greet you right after reversing the tape. That's a similar partitioning detail, lost on CD and any other purely linear format.
While I generally agree, yes ide with reasonable code generation is better then just using Emacs, unless you packed emacs with so many plugins that you turned it into yet another ide.
I work for a network hardware and security vendor and its utterly disheartening how many customers come to us and don't actually care about the impact of any of the vulnerabilities they ask us about, they just care about the CVSS score, its PCI impact and their often bizarre policy about them. Theres often less concern about actually doing something about security risks and more concern about meeting their compliance goals. Now, this may be biased by who actually reaches out, but it is scary that big names have underlings who dont know the first thing about some of the security issues their "investigating".

In another discussion the other day, I had heard programming these days compared to slowly transitioning out of the hunter-gatherer phase and into more structured society. From what I have seen this largely rings true, we are still relying on software that is largely not engineered, but written with loose engineering. The security industry seems to largely be like this, but more of a wild west (as depicted in Westerns) feel to it. Some companies and organizations have structured strategies for security, but even in large organizations like Equifax theres still a kinda "go shoot the bad guys and tie up the gate so the cattle dont get out" aspect to it, very ad hoc.

I am hoping the industry moves more towards engineering things, standardizing interactions, characterizing software modules, etc so that the security industry can spend less time on wild goose chases when trying to figure out how something is supposed to work and how this latest vulnerability applies to that.
What’s alarming to me is not the marketing nature of the message, it’s the fact that you pull a container in its entirety. A container is not a single CVE. CVEs may be evaluated against the worst case scenario, but they’re not evaluated against each other. When you stack vulnerabilities you get difficult-to-detect sophisticated attacks. Not many ATPs I can recall rely on a single vulnerability.

Sure it would be nice to see some examples where chaining the CVEs from a popular image can lead to an actual attack, but I wouldn’t write off problem just because someone is marketing their product with it.
You can do similar in C++. The problem is when the number of long types and variable names grows, you end up with classes and functions full of `using`, which gets confusing fast.

I'm also a Vista era convert to linux and still using a practically default Ubuntu image. However this fits with my original ethos for changing - at the time I was running a brand new business and just didn't have time to trouble shoot my OS. I ran Debian for about 6months before realizing that my time at work could be better spent focusing on my customers instead.

It's liberating to know I can burn everything down, reinstall, pull my dot files from git and get coding again.
