> It doesn't tell you anything about toxicities that aren't fatal.

Though LD50, or median lethal dose, is defined as the dose of a test substance that is lethal for 50% of the animals in a dose group, a substance with small LD50 value will necessarily be more toxic than a substance with a much larger LD50 value. In spite of this, I have made no argument regarding LD50 or fatalities, and certainly haven't focused on them. You introduced this in your previous comment as a straw man and continue unabated here in fallacious argument.

> There are many, many drugs that will do life-altering damage at doses that won't kill 50% of people (or 50% of lab rats).

This is irrelevant unless it is also true for dextromethorpan, which it is not. To argue that certain drugs with high toxicity but low lethality somehow affects those same measures of dextromethorphan is a bandwagon argument and a sweeping generalization.

> Nobody should be using LD50 to gauge toxicity.

What, then, is the gauge for toxicity that stands in stark contradiction to LD50? LD50 is regularly and ordinarily used as a measure of toxicity and acute toxicity, and use of LD50 in this way is not remotely exceptional. Toxicity and lethality are closely related. The more toxic something is, the more lethal it is at higher doses. If these highly toxic drugs aren't killing patients or lab rats fast enough for your definition of lethal, nevertheless, the more damage done to tissue, organs and bodily systems, the shorter the life span.

Regardless of the level of accuracy of your technical knowledge, you introduced an argument that is not my argument only to attack it, and I have now entertained your straw man twice.
There can be no "backwards compatibility" for an IPv4 successor because of the pigeonhole principle. UTF-8 is popular on modern computers with an 8-bit byte, conveniently leaving a whole bit free on the common ASCII text encoding and of course text is handled in sequences, so the multi-byte arrangement isn't inherently incompatible. However IPv4 doesn't have either a convenient spare bit which can be re-purposed, nor an interpretation where you just get to string more addresses together and that's fine. Your IPv4 packets contain exactly one 32-bit IPv4 source and one 32-bit IPv4 destination.
This is according to ‘climate damages compared to market value’.

Performance is still problematic for many applications (particularly in ML).

Our team has been working on making FHE more accessible to engineers via a compiler; we've found usability to be a much bigger obstacle than performance.

You might be surprised to see how far performance has come! For (an admittedly small example of) matrix-vector multiplication, we can do key generation, encryption, computation, decryption, and compilation in less than 5 seconds on a MacBook [0].

In my opinion, the biggest problem Sundar has is that he is too much of a chicken to shake things up, and his underlings know it. They do something dumb, he gets questioned about it, he says the word "thoughtful," everyone at G gets a little bit angry, and then the whole thing blows over. That does not incentivize responsibility among the managers underneath him. Sundar tries to keep peace between managers and departments, but in doing so, he loses control.

There was an "exit only doors" fiasco a year ago, and the man couldn't say either:

* "yes, VPs get special permissions to access the buildings" or

* "that is a security risk and everyone needs to go in through the same lobbies"

He just said "thoughtful" and the VPs lost their exit-only door access for a while until it blew over.

This was such a small, petty thing that I pretty much lost all respect for Sundar over the fact that he couldn't take a stand on it. He absolutely refuses to provide an opinion about anything to the wider group of Googlers. His underlings know that, and they know they can do stupid shit and work against each other without accountability.
It's a wrong assumption. Installing chrome requires no brains and google pushing it hard. A tool from my Motherboard maker would install chrome and make it default if you don't go into "advanced" install. You can end up with chrome as a default browser without knowing it. Shit, our work MDM policy installs Chrome on every work laptop.

Google should have launched a new PC game store that lets you download your games. For a nominal monthly fee, you can stream those games from Google's servers instead of needing to buy expensive gaming hardware.

This would have given enthusiasts a lot less to hate about Stadia. It would have given customers a lot more confidence in the long-term viability of their purchases. It would have highlighted the flexibility offered by Google's streaming platform without making putting up with its drawbacks a requirement to enjoy your games. A player could start out only streaming their games, then upgrade to a real PC down the road to get an even better gameplay experience out of their existing library.

For many enthusiasts, the product Google actually launched felt like an existential threat to their hobby. They feared games could go streaming exclusive. Publishers could use it as a form of extra draconian DRM, or start designing their games around the limitations of streaming. As a result this turned many of the biggest gaming enthusiasts, the people casual players will often ask for advice on what to buy, into ant-Stadia evangelists.

I must be missing something; hasn't this been happening for years? Viewing an ad in exchange for a continue?

How is that different from ad videos that must be seen to access otherwise "free" resources, such as free WiFi in Airports? Or even from video ads that auto play on YouTube? None of them captured my genuine interest ; but I accepted the deal of my brain time (or my closed eyes) in exchange for some retribution.

Does lower cost of living due to automation compensate for jobs lost?
For example, I'm a construction worker building houses. Then let's say a technology completely replaces my job because it's 10x less expensive than hiring me. I've lost my job. However, as companies compete using that technology to build houses more and more efficiently, the cost of housing would theoretically go down.

So my questions are:

1.Does automation actually reduce cost of living? (in an economy where competition is allowed)

2.Is the cost of living reduced enough to compensate for the people losing their jobs?

3.How much does the PACE of automation play a factor relative to other possible factors?

Interested to find any economic theories or concepts pertaining to this, whether relating to present day, or future.
Any fixed array range (at least starting index) is an example of worse is better, pushing the work onto the user of the language to map whatever the actual range should be into a 0-based (or 1-based) form. Different problems have different natural ranges, and you shouldn't have to write a routine that manages that for you. It results in one of several possible outcomes (when your range isn't naturally starting at whatever the language forces on you):

1. You don't help your own users, instead they have to know everywhere that they need to do `histogram[c - 'a']` to calculate the actual index (clutters the code, chance to forget something).

2. You do help your own users, but now they have to remember the function/procedure call to access it: `inc_histogram(c)`. Creating a plethora of setter/getter routines to gloss over this issue and bring performance back to straight array access.

3. You do help your own users, but they realize it's "just" an array and they can use `histogram[c-'a']` to access values (and set them directly) bypassing your API.

Better languages let you do this:

histogram[c]++

Done.
> Honestly, MidJourney, Stable Diffussion, et. al. have closed that 10% gap quite quickly (in months!).

Have they? If anything, the past few months has shown that after the initial hype dies down, people find the limitations very quickly. It was only weeks ago that people here and on Reddit were proclaiming that graphic designers and artists were no longer needed. But while Stable Diffusion is great at making somewhat surreal images of Jeffrey Epstein eating an apple in the style of Picasso, it's not very good at, say, making a sleek, modern user interface mockup for a bank's login portal. And it turns out graphic designers are currently only paid for one of those things.

It's too late... the scene is already set up for the next big war.

We're in a situation where the hate between both sides is very close to the surface, no one is trying to hide it anymore.

All that's needed now is one excuse... as it happened so many times before, for centuries... one small thing - an important figure murder, a bomb that lands on the wrong side of the border (accidentally?)... the destruction of NordStream, which I thought would be enough to start a full scale conflict with Russia, but for some reason hasn't yet (though it remains to be seen). It's very clear that what we're seeing today looks exactly like what we saw just before other large wars: a mostly regional conflict that serves as a proxy conflict between the bigger players causes the hostile rethoric on both sides to grow more and more, until the population not only supports a conflict, but demands it. Whether or not the news are telling the truth (which anyone who was there in previous situations like this, including Iraq not so long ago, knows is full of lies and uncontested half-truths from both sides) doesn't even matter anymore. It's a matter of time, you can be sure of that.

Is that the main thing you're missing?

Cole, do you know what working at Google is fast becoming like?

It's like going to Harvard.

You don't want to advertise that you went to Harvard. People who attended Harvard not only admit this, they don't even actively proclaim they went to Harvard any longer. Why is that? Because a bunch of really shitty people have sullied the reputation.

It isn't that way with Google for the general public, but the SV folks know that Google of 2022 is nothing like Google of 2012, and certainly nothing like Google of 2002.

My great fear is that it won't be much longer before saying you work at Google in say, 2025-2032 is like saying you work at Hewlett-Packard or IBM in 2022. The prestige is long gone.

What really rubs me the wrong way here though, is how the author of this piece goes off on tangents about stuff like gun control, instead of just making their point about the "book ban." As somebody who is both very "pro book" and very "pro gun" and who identifies with neither "the left" nor "the right", I found that whole thing a distraction and annoyance that took away from the overall value of the article.

The fantastical language is deliberate. The more obfuscated the job description the more than can con you into doing things you weren't hired to do.

As I understand it, generally the big issue between 25519 and things like 448 is that you want the security level of your curve to meet the security level of the rest of your system, or else the extra work you're doing in the rest of your system is for nothing.
> LNG is more expensive than Russian gas so it makes or made economic sense to do that.

It only made sense if one pretends that Russia is not Russia.

To get there you'd have to forget to take into account all of the factors, namely that Russia's culture will always bring it back to trying to conquer its smaller/weaker neighbors.

Risk is a factor when considering economic security. Whether something makes economic sense must include that factor or it's a garbage calculation. The EU widely ignored this obvious risk regarding Russia. It has been obvious what Putin was for at least 15-20 years. And anybody that missed it after 2014 is an outright fool. I remember reading about his moves to strip the Russians of human rights in the early days of his reign and it was quite clear what he was doing and what direction he was going (standard Russian authoritarian), all of this is the natural culmination. I don't believe the EU was taken by surprise by Putin's choices, they merely wanted their cake and wanted to eat it too (for as long as possible), which is pretty typical behavior. Now they get to pay for that willful mistake.

>preventing your ISP from snooping

You're really just shifting the trust to someone else. Someone who probably has a LOT more interesting data in one place that a nefarious party/advertiser/agency may be interested in collecting or observing, secretly or not. At least your ISP really doesn't care about your actual data, just that you're paying for service and not causing trouble.

>users also benefit from "hiding in the crowd"

IP addresses are not even really used anymore for fingerprinting. Your browser is a whole lot more unique in and of itself, regardless of the connection you're using, so it's more reliable to track that instead.

It sounds like you're trying to advocate for using VPNs for anonymity, which is the wrong solution. I would argue large MPRs like Tor/I2P do a better job at this, but even that is only part of the solution.
"Quiet quitting" is yet another term coined by the hysterical media. It's not a real thing. Sure, there are probably people just sitting around doing nothing and collecting a paycheck. But the media machine conceived this term to discredit actual labor fairness.

What is real is people doing their exact role, as prescribed, and nothing more. Contracted 40 hours on salary? That's what you get. It's the natural response to companies exerting almost total control of your life. You may not feel this way, but people on PagerDuty, analysts, etc all do. If you aren't paid commensurate to your life sacrifices you're not quiet quitting you're fixing the agreement to be fair. As evidenced by "quiet quitters" being fired you are implicitly expected to work longer and harder than your contract hours and pay. The board room appreciates your sacrifice, they will send you a pizza party once the budget for it is approved.
