Well, we can argue against that.

It's best to say that both USA, and EU are very, very bureaucratised, and regulated. It's just one is marginally better at not introducing damaging regulations than the other.

Japan too had 100mb/s since nineties for example, and theeeen..... they stuck. Speeds there not been rising by much since because regulations froze in nineties, and so did the market.

Countries which had near zero telecommunication regulations covering the Internet, or had no Internet as such did advance more uniformly.

I can have a 500mb/s over GPON, or even a symmetric gigabit over 1000BASE-LX even in *stan countries, and Africa these days. Fiberlink has 1Gbs for $30 a month in Lahore. PCTL is starting a 10Gb/s GPON trial in Islamabad.

Single mode fibre based tech is much cheaper to deploy, and maintain than any legacy tech, and properly designed GPON net probably being the cheapest option ever.

App Submition
Disagree with the gist of the post. Completing after 75% doesn't mean completing after 75%. It means the developers had to estimate the time taken for 2 subtasks (e.g. uploading and committing via an API request) and said that uploading was likely 75% and the commit step 25%. What happens is likely that the final 25% was so fast it seemed instant.

The options are: 1) don't show progress. Show a marquee, as to not lie. This is terrible. Please don't do this. 2) Show two phases. E.g. the first phase progress runs slowly from 0-100 and the second one runs instantly from 0-100. 3) Guess better. Such as do it adaptively. The expected time for phase N is estimated from data (e.g. last time for commit phase, or from a bandwidth estimate from last upload times the file size). 5) Add a minimum phase time so that instantaneous completion takes e.g. 50ms, so people get time to see the completion at 100%. 4) Do nothing. No one expects progress bars to run linearly.

There are so many good options that are better than "don't show progress, only show activity". Even the do nothing/status quo alternative is much better than no progress bar.

I don't think Java is going anywhere. It's more performant than JS and especially Python, the other 2 top 3 languages. And unlike Cxx/Rust, you have the convenience of GC. And the new GC's are VERY good.

It has a nice niche where it's less chaotic than JS and has better threading support and uses less cpu/ram than JS and python. But it's still high level enough to not be inconvenient to work with. These traits make it a great fit for beefy back end machines at big companies.

Rust will always be targeted at low level work unless they add a GC. Even with lifetimes etc a GC is just way more convenient

> It is probably pretty safe.

I wouldn't hold my breath. MCAS may have been fixed although I am even unsure about that. The regulatory capture problem hasn't been solved and I didn't hear that the FAA widened its capabilities. EASA will follow FAA as they don't want to risk Airbus certifications as a retaliation.

What concerns me even more: MCAS has been unknown to pilots and maybe the FAA. What about other unknowns Boeing didn't reveal? I don't believe that they came forward voluntarily with unrelated concerns. I don't believe that the FAA did look thoroughly into other corners (they lack the capability anyways). I don't think that EASA did an independent vetting either.

I am sure that Boeing did change the least they could get away with. And that proper independent oversight is lacking. The only safety net the public has is that maybe, maybe someone high up at Boeing wouldn't want the risk of more failures as this may destroy Boeing. But I don't hold my breath for that either. There is no honor among thieves and no personal incentive for executives.

FAA should have been dropped as trustworthy authority worldwide. Only in that event I would have trusted a 737 Max. But there's too much money at stake on all sides.
Isn't that a quote from a book? I don't remember, but pretty sure I read something like that with very similar wording at least.

Yes, but ALL doctors earn that much ALL the time, whereas the FAANG salaries you read are the lucky/skilled top 5% of the industry and only during a once-in-a-generation share price boom where stock grants exceed salaries.

And yes, doctor/nurse salaries are a big part of US healthcare excess cost (as is over-prescription, obesity,insurance profits, insurance admin overhead)

> When you use an interface, you are a user.

It’s an interesting perspective. I guess by extension, that the use of a programming language, makes the programmer a user of the resultant program, and the language a “user interface”?
IDK. Haven't read anything like this before. But GPT-3 is notorious for plagiarizing, so chances are that your memory is correct.
It is more a billing negotiation tactic between your health insurance company and the medical facility that you are seeing.

The insurance company negotiates the bill to a rate of $x for in network $y for out of network. So no they are not expecting you to pay that $6000.

I got a bill from my therapist for $430 for a 30min appointment, insurance paid $186 with zero copay, it just had to go through the magical cost-reducing power of an insurance company.

Nope, they also tried a tracing GC for Objective-C on the desktop, but it was a failure due to interoperability across libraries compiled in different modes alongside C semantics.

Then they pivoted into automating retain/release patterns from Cocoa and sold it, Apple style, as a victory of RC over tracing GC, while moving the GC related docs and C related workarounds into the documentation archive.

Careful with that one. Francine Patterson has been attacked by her "intelligent" peers for all these years because she was able to teach sign language to Koko the gorilla... and since a gorilla obviously cannot be intelligent, she must have faked the reports... or the best one: even though it looked like the gorilla was using the sign language, what was really happening was that it was just imitating the humans for the treats.

Something about saying that animals are intelligent triggers some people, specially the "scientist" types.
I think I understand now. Rosetta is just doing translation from x86 to ARM; however, native ARM doesn't have a notion of TSO which means they're still putting in the logic to maintain TSO just to assist with the better emulation performance. On a purely ARM machine I guess that logic wouldn't be needed.
the second suggestion where they estimate the time to completion in a matter of comparing the time other uses had to wait. They could test it out on a specific scale and that's practically it. You don't need to do anything difficult, just log the time it takes and then show the average.
But you need to raise hens to get eggs. And if it turns out a rooster, you kill it instantly. This method avoids hatching the roosters.

I don't think the post is meant to be taken seriously.
The eggs are like every other egg. What seems to change is the process to procure the animals that will lay those eggs.

Instead of killing the male chickens as they hatch, you destroy the eggs halfway through the incubation period.
Java's codegen is mostly done with standardized annotation processors, and they write code at build time so you can go look at the source they generated if you need to. And since it's generated at build time, everything is visible to the IDE.

There's a lot of reflection magic but it's not the wild west like Ruby can be because there's limits on what you can do to a class file once it's loaded. It's mostly limited to peeking at annotations on fields and methods and calling those methods or reading fields.

You can't redefine the methods or fields on an object at runtime, which prevents a lot of misguided insanity.
Yes, rationing by price is quite prevalent.

No, you can't always by your way to the front line. Try that in a super market that's running out of toilet paper, and you'll be lynched by your fellow shoppers.

People also queue for new Apple or Nintendo devices. Those companies don't hold auctions for new releases.

And yes, you can often find new Apple devices resold for higher prices at release in gray or even black markets. But the companies discourage those. And 'scalpers' for eg medical equipment even faced felony charges in the pandemic.

And, of course, many socialist countries have flourishing black markets as well.

> There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them!

— Richard P. Feynman

While Feynman talked about performing computation you didn't need just to see if would yield the expected result, here GPT-3 outputs a somewhat expected result, and then we have an entire reflection on what it means or implies, while the whole purpose of something like GPT-3 is to output the most meaningless expected result for any kind of input.

There is some kind of fun in it, meaningless fun, the best kind for some, and the best way to waste time, but I can't see that thread without making sure it's said: GPT-3 either outputs for wasted fun or boring but useful expected result, never for meaningful content to be awed at.
My (personal only) side project trades weekly, and takes several positions. I never hold a position for more than a week, and occasionally trade the same position several times within a one-day period. I'm on version 5 of my robot, and have recently been thinking of turning the data it gathers into a service to make it easy for other developers to get real-world data at a reasonable price.

I use my data to search for inefficiencies (however small) that exist in the market. I then arbitrage these efficiencies on a weekly basis. I do this across stocks, options, and futures (not Forex). To be clear my goal is not to find "stocks that will pop", or "stocks that will plummet", rather I purely exploit micro-inefficiencies that exist in the
market, which means this cannot work at scale.

> It's really 'Apple Silicon' and not just ARM.

Yeah, I think that's key to understanding this. They are supporting a version of ARM ISA running that maintains TSO even though official ARM doesn't need to support TSO. I guess this is all to get better emulation performance and avoid those extra synchronization instructions that would have to be added by Rosetta if the silicon did not have TSO support.
Intelligence has developed in multiple Earth species (see crows, dolphins, etc.)

Intelligence isn't what separates humans from crows. It's our ability to time bind information past our lifetime. We can use oral traditions, or write down what we have learned. And the next generation doesn't have to start from scratch. And thus you get exponential growth in knowledge.

It is complex language that separates us.

As a data point, it is true some crows have taught their nestlings how to use cars to crack shells to get at the tasty tidbits inside, but that learning doesn't seem to have propagated very far.

After the fall of communism in Bulgaria, land was to be given back to people(during the communism everything was owned by the government). Don't know the details but now we have small amount of farmlands and forests.

Turns out, most urban people don't fancy to work the land by themselves and those in the villages really suck at the organisation.

So my grandma is living in a town, she opted out to keep her land in a cooperative and simply receive some cash at the end of the year each year. Not much money but it's free money from her standpoint.

My relatives that live in a village opted out to own and work the lands by themselves like most of the other villagers.

The result? Villagers fail to organize the crop production, if one year potatoes turn to be very profitable, next year everyone do potatoes and prices tank, someone does tobacco and makes the bank.

Cattle production also died out because they failed to integrate into a steady supply chain of a buyer. Companies would be collecting milk and some villagers don't hesitate to add water and the companies stop coming. One year everyone is in milk the other year no more milk, everything becomes meat since some construction business gives more money in short term so they need to get rid of the livestock. Tough luck, the milk buying chocolate factory.

At the ends, most young people opted out to work in a EU country that pays very well during the season and stay jobless for the rest of the year. Those who managed to get good education completely moved out to the cities or even other countries so no one left to actually work their own farmlands with few exceptions of people who do speciality crops and work like beekeeping. Most of the farmland got sold to large companies and those who couldn't get good education become employees of the farms they once owned.

What I am trying to say is, it's probably the way it is because the alternative is not viable. These things need large scale companies, be it private or governmental.

The forces are going even higher than that. 10,000g is what you get from launching out of high explosive powered military cannon. The US military has managed to put guided rounds in such cannons, but they certainly aren't getting you to space with such a cannon. You need much higher than 10,000g to get up to that kind of speed.

> And even if someone farms for selling to others if they don't have reliable access to machinery the farms will be really small as that just does not scale up (just take a look at pre industrial world where something like 90% of people were farmers)

You seem to assume/imply that small farms in the developing world cannot scale up due to economic/business reasons.

However in some developing countries, farms cannot be scaled up due to legal reasons. Countries like The Philippines don't allow ownership of farmland over one or two hectares per person. For companies the maximum is 5 hectares if I remember correctly. Foreigner investors cannot legally own any land whatsoever there (not even through a company, because foreigners aren't allowed to be majority share holders).

Is that good or bad? I don't know. Agriculture world wide is a highly regulated and highly subsidized non-free market that has very little to do with the concepts of capitalism and free market. This should probably be analyzed on a country by country basis with a couple of history books handy.

Random facts that I like about farming subsidies in the West: if farming in the Western world wasn't heavily subsidized, it wouldn't exist in the Western world. The reason for the farming subsidies is to have internal food production in case a war prevents sufficient food imports.
