that's the right answer. New technologies are always overestimated in the short term, but underestimated in the long term. The long-term usually is not a generalized solution, but is still a true solution.

I work on a real, cold-as-space production quantum computer and its cloud service that you can sign up and use for free today - the D-Wave Advantage system, with 5000+ qubits, that you can use via D-Wave Leap.

The difference here is that we produce a quantum annealer, which is useful for optimization problems instead of for database searches + factoring. It's already delivering some real-world value for early applications.

While gate model machines are interesting, D-Wave took the tack of implementing the model of QC most likely to lead to actual useful applications within our lifetimes. Gate-model QC does seem to be very useful, but until it reaches millions of physical qubits it's not going to be producing any results beyond pet laboratory projects, and it remains to be seen if that's even physically possible. In contrast, quantum annealing has been able to grow at a good rate both in terms of qubit count, degree of connectivity between qubits, and also in terms of reaching lower noise and better quality results.

We also have hybrid solvers that combine the state of the art in classical algorithms with QPU sampling to get the lowest energy state possible with a much larger graph than we can do in hardware.

I think it's a very interesting field to follow, there are huge investments being made and real progress is happening on a number of fronts. Our competitors are trying to bring live systems to market, too, but it's harder to see them being much more useful than simulators for the foreseeable future.

The capitalist ideological trick is: "are you happy houses were built? Do you enjoy the convenience of modern living? Then don't get mad at us for the tradeoff."

Don't forget that there have always been better ways to accomplish these goals - more equitable, safer for the environment - but they were not done because they did not achieve maximum profit for the individual who, through various historical factors not related to their merit or wisdom, could control the capital necessary for the project.
Per TFA, they're limited to 30 MPH and will not have safety drivers.

And obviously the launch is conditioned on regulators' belief that the system can handle reacting, to a degree of safety that's similar to human drivers: otherwise they wouldn't get the permit. The reaction time of safety drivers is not what this approval pivots on.

Though obviously the interesting question is: how did the company and the regulators get to this level of confidence in the system's safety

You do realize that the switch from whale oil to petroleum caused a massive, orders of magnitude increase in human footprint and ecological destruction? Had we not discovered petroleum, or had it not been there, human civilization would have plateaued or even declined, right after the extinction of these beautiful animals, because we would have absolutely hunted them to extinction unless they were protected. We would have been forced to live in balance with available resources.

The arc of whales would have followed the arc of so many other natural "resources" that are produced or even consist of living beings. There are several native hardwoods that are either effectively extinct or impossible to obtain because they were mined out.

No, we stumbled on a vast reservoir of energy buried under the ground and we've been draining that reservoir as fast as possible. We'll transition off petroleum about the time it becomes economically infeasible to extract and burn it, and not a second sooner.

By all means, bring on solar, nuclear, wind, whatever. They are just more reservoirs to tap to run this machine. Just so we can dig up, slice up, chop up, burn down, and chew up another order of magnitude of the biosphere. Because money and grandkids and ice cream.

We are too many and too greedy, and this planet has finite resources. "Technology". Always magical technology. Well until technology can grow a watermelon in a lightbulb, we are gonna keep munching away at this planet until the biosphere collapses around our ears.

This begs the question: more fundamental to what?

At a high school level, you have students who are either engaged and will likely learn both subjects eventually, or students who aren’t as engaged and are just looking to take their “last math class”. In my opinion, it makes more sense to offer a choice or at least focus on the curriculum that keeps students are that age to most engaged.

As someone who has studied both subjects, I’d go with linear algebra 9 times out of 10, the exception being if someone wanted to also study physics.

> Amazon has the resources to throw money at the problem

Amazon is a company motivated by profit. No one at the company is going to throw money at a problem unless solving it will be profitable. New World standard edition is $39.99, with no subscription fee. Blizzard used to charge a small fee to buy the game, but the monthly sub cost was what sustained it. They recently dropped the up-front cost. Users pay per month and play, and there are plenty of additional premium things to buy, fortunately they are all aesthetic, compared to many free-to-play that end up being pay-to-win.

It's unclear how Amazon will make money on New World, although I strongly suspect it will involve collecting and selling data about the users, along with some kind of microtransactions. I'd guess freemiums will come along later, too.

In short, just having a lot of money is not sufficient. For a business to want to solve the MMO scaling problems, it has to find a way to get some return on the investment. MMOs just aren't All That.

It basically does. You can use anchors to approximate the behavior described here (it will be more verbose, but that's to be expected)
Oh, agreed. I was just providing links to stories from the time and letting the reader decide if they are being accurately recounted.
Overclocking, in my humble opinion, was always a sign of inefficiency from a manufacturing perspective. If the manufacturer was nearly-perfectly efficient at manufacturing and binning, almost none of their chips should have any overclocking headroom because they came out at their limits from the beginning.

It’s true that the auto market tends to be behind the times, but regulation is not the cause. That is much more of an issue in airplanes and aerospace in general.

Cars still use micron level chips because:

- They still do the job.

- They have enough volume to keep those fabs open.

- Since they end up becoming the only buyer (monopsony), they get cheap rates.

So they pretty much run those fabs to the ground.

Bad faith is what you did. I never once mentioned anything that is dangerous or could cost live. Talking about medicine side effects or talking about off label drug use are not dangerous and do not cost lives. Your wrongfully try and claim it is.
Probably, same principle though.
> I can see that the idea that it was a lab leak could be _reassuring_ to people;

To me its less reassuring. It tells me that us humans actively sought out pathogens in spaces where it was unlikely that humans would encounter them otherwise. Then took those pathogens to a lab, experimented on them a bit perhaps making them more deadly, have shitty security protocols for the experiment, and thereby releasing them accidentally into a large population.

A lab leak makes it our fault and speaks to the stupidity of us humans. A zoological origin makes it natures fault. I’d much rather nature kill me by accident (besides I think our odds are better).

An interesting retort. I did not think about this scenario.

Wages are notoriously sticky, but there could be pressure to keep the minimum wage stay put in periods of great inflation. Such as the one that we might face soon. Possibly, we are already in.

Maybe the limit could be derived from the median wage. Such as "only jobs that earn 4x or more median wage can be subject to noncompetes".

I think highschool tries to expose you to as much as possible. I did get a tiny bit of linear algebra at the end of my senior year in calc, but back then PCs pretty much didn't exist.

What I don’t see discussed is how JIT has become the “securitization” of manufacturing.

Everyone had an incentive to do JIT, and it improved efficiency in each individual company, but it did so by inflating a systemic risk that could be easily triggered by a “black swan”.
Yes, I agree. Counting species is a terrible metric. We discover something like 15,000 new species every year. We really have no idea how many species are vanishing each year, because we're only examining a tiny percentage.

Another way to frame this is to ask: How many new species are created each year? Well, we don't really know-- but we do know that a new species can form in just two generations [1]. There may be thousands of species being created and destroyed every year for all we know. Not a useful metric.

A more useful metric is how common a species was before extinction. Using an example from the article, the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker was very common before its extinction. Native Americans used its skulls as decoration and currency. Its eradication is a pretty big deal - BUT - I see some other HN comments lamenting how much things have changed "in my lifetime" and I think people may be unaware that these extinctions basically occurred approximately 200 years ago. There have not been sizable populations of this species for a very long time [2].

Again, the presentation of data and metrics appears to be painting a misleading picture.

No need to flush the full caches. Clearing caches for individual zones is not uncommon.
After a train crash destroyed a few dozen Ford trucks, they sent an engineer who was also handy to pry the chips out of the smashed trucks. They were hand delivered back to the factory.

Normally this would be ridiculous--there are many other parts that were probably more valuable. But now we have people cracking open smashed vehicles like walnuts so they can extract a chip nominally worth a few dollars.
Apologies, I'm based in Pennsylvania and it's definitely more noticeable here. I expect it will become more apparent elsewhere too.

We're at 3x the total population that existed when europeans started settling here, and without an appropriate way to cull the herd I don't see that changing. We have milder winters (so no starvation), less interest in hunting, and again a lack of natural predators.

So the only caveat I would put on that: it's useful to have common language for things, my threshold is that you understand why things are this way.

It's useful to tell someone: "you should have that thing in another class because it's clearly another responsibility", and have a debate on the responsibility itself ; or even on the merits of having a single responsibility per class.

What is not useful is when someone will start making monofunction classes that are 10 lines long on the hotel of "smaller functions are better" and sticking to that because "it's a best practice" with no better argument.

Basically my point is: if you understand what you are doing, great, use vocab all you want. But don't use it as a justification.

In this case, I think the enforcement wasn't on the people using the tittle. Rather it was on Microsoft "granting" someone the tittle of "Engineer".

"Microsoft Corporation announced in May 2001 its intention to stop using the term engineer in Canada in the title Microsoft Certified System Engineers - MCSE."

Going against the individual professionals for using the tittle might have been harder. Some are probably real engineers or have received the certification but don't necessarily advertise themselves as engineers...
Some have argued that scalpers, like other risk arbitrageurs, accelerate market price discovery. If you buy the argument that markets are net positive for society by relaying information about economic trade offs, scalpers aren’t necessarily bad even if they are indeed annoying to market participants by lifting the ask. Of course there are extreme conditions where we also might decide that using money as the universal conveyance of value is a bad thing because it reveals how unequal outcomes in society have been… And the usual response is to shift to rationing rather than price to allocate scarce resources. But with rationing you get sidechannel markets and not necessarily efficient allocations.
