>Once you have a large org that's making money, you don't really know exactly why it makes money. Sure, there's annual filings and there's still the elevator pitch of what the org does. But the actual how of how it works is difficult to describe in causal terms: if team X or Y was not there, the business would do better/worse? How does this team interact with that? It's really a bunch of informal relationships between different people, and both the people and the relationships change over time.

Sociologists have quantified these sorts of relationships almost a hundred years ago with graphical modelling.
No, DOH + us decided against PEP because the bat didn't get near us. They asked us in umpteen different ways whether or not that was the case.

DOH seemed quite reluctant prescribing PEP mentioning too that it is quite an intensive treatment (who gives though, being dead being the other option).

I wish the subtitle could have been included in the HN posting: "Scientists scramble to harvest ice cores as glaciers melt"

The next paragraph provides more context: "Ice provides historical records about climate and shows the impact humanity has had. But many glaciers are now melting, prompting renewed urgency among scientists."
You're not wrong, but the numbers are quite different if you have a strong search heuristic. And that is where neural nets excel. See AlphaGo and derivatives. So this isn't just some random gradient descent exploring the full space; a properly designed and trained neural net will effectively cordon off vast swaths of the search space, and suddenly the problem is probably many orders of magnitude more tractable.

That's really why deep learning shines in technical applications. Solution search heuristics were until recently solely within the domain of biological neural networks; now we have created technology which is capable of extracting superior heuristics over the course of learning. And it's already paying off in industrial science, despite the cries of naysayers, though the applications are still in infancy.
I'm convinced that neural networks in compilers are the Next Big Thing in AI. e.g. GPUs are very difficult to program for mere mortals.
Can you give a non-hypothetical example of something that is a public platform?
I'd like to agree with you but just 1 year ago every AI related thread here were chock full of people breathlessly predicting AGI within years... and presumably HN is a well informed community!

It's often not about expertise or sanity, but AGI captures people's imagination to a huge extent and as evolution has conditioned us to do, we ascribe certain behaviors and desires to systems which only exhibit those by random chance.

This is a surefire way to sell hundreds of cars. Yes, hundreds!
I'm not following your chain of reasoning here.

Prices were climbing before the chip shortage, while "technology" (or specifically, features requiring computer chips) has increasingly been an important part of marketing strategy, differentiation and consumer focus in the automotive industry. (Anecdotally, I check reviews for how well they handle things like Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and in-car software updates.)

The pricing could reflect a lot of things, including inflation, growing consumer wealth (or credit), consumers prioritizing automotive due to a variety of reasons including marketing/image, increased time spent commuting, etc.

What does this supply chain hiccup have to do with your hypothesis?

I found "hybrid cloud" tested worse than (almost) any other buzzword. We were hoping it would communicate the idea that we wouldn't get you stuck on this or another platform. The reaction wasn't quite as bad what we got from "mark to market" (which makes finance people have autonomic disorders such as turning red or turning pale) but it was pretty bad.

1. what's their revenue? Walmart has 13 billion in net income. That might sound like a lot, until you realize that they make 559 billion in revenue, which works out to a relatively thin margin of 2.4%.

2. not an accountant, but the fact that mcdonalds licenses their brand to franchisees probably messes with their profitability figures. They might be making 50% margin on franchise fees, but that doesn't mean the actual restaurant has 50% spare cash to spend on employees.

I definitely understand that Cloudflare Workers are likely to be unsatisfying as a Lambda replacement for people who want to use a language like Python.

I think there is a decent reason why Cloudflare, at least initially, went the route that it did. V8 Isolates allow them to run code from many different people without many of the cold-start, memory, and performance issues of offering a more full environment. V8 Isolates allow them to be a lot more efficient than something like Lambda. It does come with the cost of being more limited for things like language support.

I think it's a pretty good bet. Lots of people are comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript (even if you or I don't love it) and WebAssembly is likely to become a decently supported compilation target over the next 5 years from a lot more languages. Microsoft has done a lot for C#/.NET support of WebAssembly and it should be quite good with .NET 6 coming in 2 months. Python, Go, and many other languages have at least some support for WebAssembly and it seems like that will only get better over time.

I definitely understand it being a turn-off. If you haven't read their post introducing them, I'd read it: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloud-computing-without-containe.... It doesn't solve your problem, but I think it's a good read on why they made that trade-off.

this is a good point. Everybody keep saying that US had a small inflation in the last 2 decades. Yes, prices of eggs/milk maybe didn't go up to0 much. But what about prices of child care, education, housing, health care, retirement. Yes all these have many factors behind their cost rise, but money printing just can't be ignored here.

> It's so easy to think that simple solutions exist. But if you look at the history of ideas that actually worked, they tend to only be simple from a distance. The closer you get, the more you notice that the working idea is surrounding by a huge number of almost identical ideas that don't work.

This brings to mind, two of my favorite H. L. Mencken quotes:

"There's always an easy solution to every human problem; Neat, plausible and wrong."

"The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake."

Why I'm flummoxed by your argument is that the "infallible God" seems to be the scientific consensus. If anything, the analogy works in the opposite direction. There are many people who choose not to engage with the scientific conversation and instead choose an alternate way of understanding the world, one which is not based on population studies or pharmacology. If there's an example of a respected scientific work that has been censored, then you could change my mind.

2) I somehow doubt that second hand furniture was from the 'IKEA of that day'.

I suspect the answer is partly historical; without a computer, calculations in linear algebra are a pain.
Nobody cares anymore. People are working, resources are being extracted, created and traded, economies are rolling. Money is there to facilitate that, but on its own it's pretty much worthless. Just wish inequality wasn't so fucking huge.
Why do you think DNNs are unrelated to “AI”?

They develop an internal language[*] through experience in which they model the world, and make decisions based upon that language; what more do you want from them?

[*] You can interpret that “linear algebra machine” as the Euclidean VM modeling some latent type theory; Curry-Howard + algebra-geometry correspondences connect systems of difference equations to type theories.

Remember the 70s oil crisis? People stopped working because there wasn't enough energy to keep businesses and therefore jobs open. If there aren't enough semiconductors then those car factories won't stay open no matter what you do.

Also regarding laying off people. Germany kept unemployment below 4% during the entire pandemic because of its more flexible labor market mechanism known as Kurzarbeit that allows people to work less during economic crises. The rigid labor market in the USA encourages employers to lay off entire people rather which tends to fuel recessions, make them worse and delay recovery. Just think about how inefficient it is to lay people off, pay them to do nothing, do massive state intervention through a rent moratorium and then hire them again. The unemployed still need housing and food. The idea that there is something more productive than producing food for them is laughable.

>This would have been "mean" in the short-term, but good for the entire society in the mid- and long-term.

I don't get it. Paying people unemployment benefits is the long term strategy. We give people food stamps because if they starve to death they won't be able to work at all. Even if they stay on welfare their children will have a better shot at life. Abandoning them is the height of short term thinking.

Both calculus and linear algebra are fundamental for further studies, but I'm not sure linear algebra is more approachable?

I personally find geometry and algebra more interesting, but it seems to me that derivatives are more fundamental than matrices. But maybe that's just my bias from being educated like that.

It's funny to watch Markdown gradually reinvent HTML as it originally was (though with much more readable syntax)

And I don't actually think that's a bad thing, so long as it stops there. HTML has become much more than documents, so having a constrained subset dedicated to documents is helpful.
And even if they could collect, its in US Dollars, which they can print.
Far more importantly than "original gameplay" although there are deviations that would matter enormously for e.g. speed running, you can't mod Bedrock.

I don't actually play vanilla (unmodified) PC Minecraft more than perhaps a few minutes every year to see what's new or test something in the vanilla program.

But I spent hours every month playing packs like Compact Claustrophobia (a pack where you spend all except the last section of the "plot" trapped inside Compact Machines, pocket universes which don't exist in the vanilla game at all but are fairly popular in modding). Or say Seaopolis which starts out in a vast world-covering ocean but eventually allows you to do space travel.

Mojang and then Microsoft did some basic work to enable this, but a huge part of it comes from the core being Java, and so once modding is allowed it's possible to reach inside an object and replace parts of the game wholesale. And from the contingent popularity and huge community that took this and really ran with it.

Modding enables people to focus on the type of play they most enjoy. If you wish the game had more tricky combat and needed survival skills, you can have that. If you'd rather become a God-like being and form the world as it should be, you can have that. If you like problem solving, you can spend all your time building complicated machines to solve increasingly dubious problems (e.g. don't think "automatically farm carrots" think "automatically farm dragon eggs").

It's a bad analogy - it's similar to how in the general world people use analogies of national accounting to a credit card. Also a website called truthinaccounting also sounds super fringy/cringey - tough to take seriously (sorry).

I think that's the parent poster's point. Presumably his parents are not significantly wealthier in relative terms than he was, but they could afford more premium furniture than most people today do.

If American politicians had no outside interests than sure. It's currently a fundamentally flawed system: political games, corporate interests, religion and re-elections all cloud actual discussion and turns it into a show.

Nothing in house is driven by real data, both sides don't see the actual reality of what ever situation they're in. They take random data points to mislead voters to their position, each side having different areas they fudge the numbers on.

I set up greylisting and it works great. First call from an unknown number gets SIT and "Please try this call again", second call goes through. Spammers don't call back, real people do.

edit: I'm running Asterisk. The initial implementation was for a landline, so I used a landline->SIP gateway and a rejected call would still ring the phone once (this way it would fail gracefully). I've since transitioned the landline to VOIP so all calls go through Asterisk. My mobile number is on Gvoice so I haven't bothered, but it would be straightforward to have Asterisk police those as well since I've got an OBI200 Gvoice->SIP adapter.

This looks interesting! I’ve long wished for a more mature MiSTer system that feels like a complete retro console/system/computer.

I think the evolution of organizations is super interesting stuff. But I would say that a lot of the paradigms that have been true for Millenia have changed rapidly in the last few decades, which is an extremely short period of time in the history of our social evolution. For example:

(1) 100 years ago we didn't have reliable instant communication. If you wanted to send a message across oceans it could take days or weeks. As a result having a "chain of command" was critically important to survival. For example a military commander prior to the 20th century could not make decisions regarding an army thousands of miles away, and thus needed to delegate decision making authority. In 2021 a military commander (Or leader) can instantly make a decision from thousands of miles away. Or perhaps a computer could make those decisions instead.

(2) Data-driven decision making the name of the game in most large corporations. The dinosaurs are still making decisions based on reports every week/month/quarter. The most cutting edge organizations are operating on a different level. For example, if a particular product or service isn't performing at a certain price, you don't need a bureaucracy to optimize it. Automated software could easily A/B test pricing schemes in different regions, and come up with the most optimized conclusions, all without any humans in the loop. Ride-share software and food delivery apps are already ahead of the curve here, and like it or not, this outsources a lot of people in the business of decision making.

Not to go too far down a rabbit hole, but I think that "bureaucracy ... as a gene for a successful organization" may be a gene that soon goes extinct. Computers, data, and software can do bureaucracy much better than humans can. And if the trend continues we may see the entire structure of organizations, leadership, and decision making make a complete shift from what we even expect an organization to be, possibly closer to resembling cybernetic organism rather than a government or traditional corporate leadership structure.
