I have no idea what this sentence is trying to convey. Planning on using this to mint NFTs makes the purpose of this project financial gain, not some cutesy experiment.

If anything, the whole “our stack is so minimal!” angle serves as a signal to crypto dorks that minting NFTs for profit is an accessible possibility with minimal necessary buy-in.

I used to say the Turing Test wasn't a philosophical problem, but a measure of an indifference curve from economics, where it shows the point at which people don't care whether or not they are interacting with a machine, and where we will likely substitute away from relating to people - and instead to machines. The indifference curve was based on price, but instead, the "price" we express our preferences at is just from the cognitive load from dealing with this uncanny machine.

The "uncanny valley," fits into that because something uncanny imposes a sensory load on us that isn't worth the trouble for what it's doing, so it comes off as weird. When we talk about the Turing Test in a popular sense, this economic curve is what I think we're really discussing, and I think the idea of intelligence and mind is too sophisticated to be effectively reduced to, that a mind is whatever it says it is if you believe it.

That little strange loop of logic decouples and unmoors people from reality because once you believe that, you will believe literally anything.
If every large producer insists on hydro/green energy, the price of hydro will go up encouraging investment in more green energy.

It's like arguing planting a tree just denied someone else the opportunity to plant a tree in that square foot of dirt.

I am sure they are paying a premium.

Here in NZ we have an aluminium smelter that is directly connected to a huge hydro dam, rather than the grid, so they can claim it is powered by green energy regardless of how you look at it.

If "leads to dopamine eventually via some pathway" were sufficient for dopamine, hoo boy, the field of psychopharmacology would look radically different. Would certainly make treating ADHD and Parkinson's way easier (and schizophrenia and mania way harder).

There are essentially zero kids "available" to adopt outside of foster care. And foster care is (correctly imo) focused on reuniting children with their parents when possible, so the typical case of adoption being possible is when the parents are truly unsafe.
I'm modulating my language simply because I don't have a firm grasp on expert consensus, I only have a handful of optometrist friends, and I usually like to defer to consensus.

>unless it passes some bureaucrat's standard of diversity?

That is what was said, but not why the school is attacking student organizations. Any student organization presents a liability to the school. An outdoor club, something with the schools name on it where student go out and teach each other how to ski on glaciers or climb rocks? The schools are listening to their lawyers, their insurance schemes. They are against any and all groups that operate without direct school management.

I was a member of the VOC, UBC's outdoor club and an organization that predates the school itself. Every year I am surprised that the school hasn't moved to to shut them down.

This might be a slightly more trenchant critique if Stanford weren't simultaneously declaring war on houses devoted to everything from French culture to cooperative vegetarian meals.

But, as little as I liked the frats, I'm not going to throw them under the bus and push the idea that they were some kind of dens of misogyny and rape. They're not. If Stanford really wanted to combat those ills, perhaps it should focus more on the more general culture of binge drinking.
The Science in Science Fiction, Peter Nicholls

I was given it at what seemed far too young an age (about seven i think) by a slightly crazy neighbour who had no idea what books would be suitable for me (a year later he gave me an adults book on space based weapons exploring the physics etc). Despite it being a stretch, i was mad about sci-fi films and the book made me start thinking about what i was seeing, and introduced me to huge range of ideas (FTL travel, time travel, parallel universes, genetics, terra forming, environmental concerns, computers, robotics) well before i would have encountered them otherwise and it was discussed in a serious considered way.

I know that. But technically, optometrists have a "professional doctorate" in optometry ("doctor of optometry" or OD), just like doctors have a "professional doctorate" in medicine ("doctor in medicine" or MD). Neither MDs nor ODs are traditional doctors, which is what you would traditionally call someone with a PhD, and not someone who takes care of your health.

I just don't happen to know any ophtalmologists, or anyone with a PhD who specializes in this, and in any case a good optometrist has overlapping expertise and concerns with ophtalmology and current research. Take it for what it's worth, no more, no less.

I like how we're immediately jumping to "this is going to ruin the financial success of future graduates and thus hurt future fundraising."

"Thing I like must be directly responsible for this other thing that happened later" is sad to see from someone from what's supposed to be one of our nation's best schools.

Turning high school into middle school and college into high school, etc, in terms of adult supervision isn't my favorite thing in the world, but it's also something that been happening since long before you made it to a college campus in the early 2010s. So it's not very clear that it's going to cause corporate or economic pain. The social arguments are much more compelling, but also far harder to unwind. Parents have been both complaining about but also calling for this sort of thing for decades.
In a startup maybe. But in an established company there is nothing that can change the status quo.

I've seen a quiet but persistent thought pattern that outdoor / nature activities- hiking, camping, etc- are endemically white and that any attempt to organize around it without making overt, aggressive attempts to include minorities is a sign of white supremacy.

This is the main thrust of the "anti-racist" movement. If you aren't talking about being inclusive in every aspect of any social interaction you partake in, you are automatically racist. Just wanting to be around other people who like hiking and camping makes you a white supremacist.

> As an aside, Thunderbird occupies that uncomfortable space of software that is libre, but seems so bloated and complex I don't want to install it, let alone work on it. I'm not sure if that perception is "accurate" (which of course depends on how you define things). But think of OpenOffice/LibreOffice. It's a huge, classically written C++ blob that is hard to check out hard to build and hard to contribute to. Yet, its very existence undermines the motivation to start something new.

I think what those have in common is being corporate codebases that were "dumped" as open source. If you look at the equivalents that were built as open-source from day 1 - KMail, Konqueror, and KOffice - you find something that while still C++ is much cleaner and better structured, since they were always meant to be maintained by a distributed collaboration rather than a small team of l33t h4x0rs.

> Surely there is a space for minimalist office suites and email clients, written starting with a browser as a jumping off point, rather than a compiler? I guess I'm arguing for an Electron-based docs/sheets/email/calendar using modern software best practices, and great components. An email client should be a webview + sql-lite, no? And (for office docs) maybe with a more thoughtful file format, like a simple html subset. Does this exist?

I don't think browser-based is the right direction, and I actually think browser-based may detract from having good standard UI component libraries, since the browser itself tends to fall into the trap you mentioned - browser-native components are simultaneously not great, but imposing and complex enough to suck the oxygen away from alternatives. But I agree there's a lot of value in using existing frameworks and libraries to develop your applications, and definitely something that contributes to both OpenOffice/LibreOffice and Mozilla-family applications being as complicated as they are is the fact that they include their own one-off GUI frameworks. (In fairness Mozilla did originally make a legitimate attempt to make their GUI framework an actual first-class GUI framework that could be used for other applications with XULRunner etc., but those days are long gone now). Again this is somewhere where I find KDE family applications shines in comparison - everything is properly layered between the libraries, frameworks, and applications, and the libraries actually see reuse across a wide range of applications.
I totally agree (with your conclusion), and I even go out of my way to give higher praise than deserved to workers to help shield them from it. Unfortunately, it’s not (always) customers’ fault that this is how it works. Increasingly, it’s not even knowable by customers that they may contribute to someone’s firing (or even be the only input!).

A single mediocre review could end a job, depending on how it’s weighted. A few bad reviews almost guarantees it. Even if the customer has no idea their review is applied to that particular worker—i.e. if they think they’re reviewing the business.

Knowing all this has also just generally helped me to be more patient with people when I’m on the other side of the “counter”. But a lot of people (a) don’t know it and (b) don’t have any other recourse.

A specific example so I don’t sound like I’m just abstracting the whole thing: if I order a meal on Grubhub, when I get asked for a review I get very specific questions about the delivery driver, vague questions about food quality from the vendor, and no prompt about Grubhub’s service itself. When I’ve had poor service (always from Grubhub or a direct consequence of their poor service), there isn’t even a way to give feedback that goes beyond the CS front line. Those poor souls are tasked with issuing refunds as rapidly as possible and moving on to the next chat. The best anyone can do to even register a complaint that might be heard is to call out a driver or restaurant, even if neither did anything wrong.

Customers don’t know they’ll probably get someone fired by taking this tack, they just know it’s the only way to be heard. And that’s not because they’re cruel, it’s because they’re horribly alienated from the thousands of tiny paper cuts they understand as conveniences, and some days their only options.
A colleague of mine had set up an audio alarm which would go off every time a build failed. It made everyone a lot more cautious when they checked in their code.
People would be wise to look into the incredible amount of criticism thrown at K-9 in the last two years over the recent UI design changes.

I personally see this as a way for cketti to get acqui-hired and maybe get away from K-9 Mail. The amount of hate directed towards him from the userbase (mostly justified, sorry to say) has been substantial and I can't imagine he really wants to continue dealing with that.

Hopefully Thunderbird will do another UI redesign and fix the mess that was made. I ditched K-9 after the new design came out two years ago.

Right, this is why Shapley value is not the market value.

One could also imagine a world in which A is a software engineer who can make 100k at his day job, but B and C are experts in a little-known, poorly paying, field with the potential to revolutionize the world, and they’re looking for a software engineer to help them build a product. B and C can then offer A 110k, while each pocketing 145k.

Also note that the scenario above is not the scenario I worked out in my original post. If the software engineer makes 120k and the Chilean makes 20k on their own, then the Shapley value is actually

A = 166k

B = 86k

C = 146k

Shapley value != market value, but in many cases, it’s usually fairer than market value.

The problem for EU countries is that for too long they've neglected military spending in favor of social programs, but now the chickens are coming home to roost. US superpower status is waning, meaning EU states will need to ramp up military spending, and Russia is more aggressive than it's ever been. In the face of this EU countries will have to somehow cut social spending or raise taxes even higher. Neither is politically tenable.

> (even if they can actually execute all instructions concurrently, which is not clear to me and unlikely - Intel can also only execute some instructions on certain ports)

It's pretty symmetrical, moreso than Cortex-X2's 4 pipelines; there's analysis that on M1 only some floating point and crypto instructions can't execute on all 4 pipelines. [1] (TP in that table is inverse throughput)

Which means that, for example, byte permutes from tables 256b or less can actually achieve the same throughput on M1 as with Intel's AVX-512, since M1 can sustain 4x 2-register TBL per cycle. And doing the exact equivalent of a 512b vpermb (3 cycle latency, 1/cycle throughput) can be done with 5 cycles latency and 0.33/cycle throughput on M1, via 4x 4-register TBL.

Well, a vpermd in NEON would need an extra MLA to convert indexes, and vpermi2* equivalents fall off a cliff. And Intel still has p01 free, and COMPACT is SVE. But in general, a lot of the parallelism that enables AVX-512 implementations will convert directly into ILP across 128b vectors.

> This seems unlikely because we're sorting 8 MB and my understanding is that cores (unless L2==LLC) generally have private, partitioned L2 caches, so 3 MB in the case of M1. Is that incorrect?

Anandtech [2] measured the same L2 latency up to about 8MB single-core, so regardless of the details, 8MB is a pretty significant cliff on M1. Regardless, RAM bandwidth is ~60GB/s, and unlike Intel, can be just about saturated by a single core.
