No wonder they can't build high-speed rail.
If you think about some of the really interesting architecture of San Francisco, do you think they could be built now? Imagine trying to get the golden gate bridge built today. At some point you have to accept that not everyone is going to like every aspect of your plan and tell them to go pound sound or nothing will ever get done.

> Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions. Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments. When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committees as large as possible — never less than five. Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible. Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions. Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision. Advocate "caution." Be "reasonable" and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable" and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on. Be worried about the propriety of any decision -- raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.

I feel like the "pyramid of Ghiza" analogy understates how stupid this all is.

I mean, if you really believe your immortal soul is going to be empowered by building a giant enough monument or whatever, then it makes rational sense to build something at the edge of your kingdom's logistical capacity.

And if nothing else, it's always good for bragging and showing your kingdom's superiority to its neighbors. And there were previous projects of smaller scale that proved it was feasible.

The Saudis aren't (deliberately) building a giant tomb. They expect people to live in that monstrosity. Even if (huge if) they can build something to the stated dimensions, it's only going to stand as an empty monument to their colossal resource-wasting hubris, a shell of concrete and steel and glass that will inevitably break down as nobody moves to live in there and nobody pays for maintaining the stupid thing.
What makes you believe that is desirable?

There's a big difference between saying "the brain obeys the laws of quantum chemistry" (which is a true, if vague statement) and saying the brain exploits entanglement or coherence (which are specific subset quantum phenomena).
Or it's fair use. Fair use is what enables the use of samples in musics or the use of photographs by the likes of Andy Warhol to create new works of art. You can also cite literature and other texts. It's a pretty broad notion.

So, it's not as black and white as people seem to insist things must be by their limited & flawed understanding of copyright law as it exists in various countries (the world is bigger than the US, and people use co-pilot outside the US).

If you ever copied code from a book or a web page, you are doing exactly the same thing as github co-pilot is doing. And it's fine and legal to do so because that is fair use. That's why fair use exist: so we can actually use the information that is shared with us via copyrighted works. You can't restrict fair use with a license; so the original license is not relevant here. It applies to distributing the whole copyrighted work, not bits and pieces of it.

The only legal question that might exist around Github co-pilot is whether it can be defended as fair use. It probably is but it would need to be challenged in a court to get that verified. So, we might know in a decade or so if somebody actually feels like spending a few million on kick-starting that process (best of luck!). And you'd actually have to go after users of github co-pilot as Github neatly deflects responsibility to the end user. All they do is show you some code.
The indictment mentions it was a CNC jig grinder, so not an old manual machine.
Yeah the local state had some efforts to reclassify some state construction rules for work on state facilities. Through years of rando events it came to pass that installing a door required a "metal worker" (I forget the exact term) ... because it involved some metal ... in some way. But generally they were just prefab doors with frames that you drop in. This only seemed to apply to doors and a couple other also "this is actually a cheap job" type situations.

It jacked up the price considerably. Lots of interests end up with some strange outcomes.
Some businesses’ profits are keeping up with inflation, and some are not. Grocery stores sell relatively inelastic goods at already low profit margins, so there is not much room to not keep up with inflation. The other option for them would be going out of business.

> In Britain the PM is chosen by the party in power so you don't get the divided government situations

The UK government has been in utter turmoil for a long time now and it’s at its worst right now. This resignation marks a new low in self destructive politics and posturing.

I know you are referring to a different type of political impasse, but the chaos that is present in the UK is not a lot better than what the US system seems to see so regularly.
Australian insurance company Medibank, which recently suffered a cyberattack by an unknown threat actor, confirmed the incident.

The first NC machines were punch card driven and used to make stuff like propellers and rotors for turbines after WWII. The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh has a Ferranti mill [1] on display that produced radar wave guides in the 50's along with an example of its output [2]. It must have been like alien tech at the time, but still not CNC and extremely rudimentary compared to the machining center in that video. Computer NC was born in the late 1950's.

I still intend to implement this! It just has yet to become the most pressing issue for the projects I'm focused on, since the development model is already supported using proxying which makes 3-party handoff merely an optimization.

Every library is code I have to maintain without even knowing what's inside.

I only use libraries for something I absolutely can't write myself, like PGP.

I also avoid languages and technologies which introduce breaking changes.

e.g. Python will never be a top-level language in my project, only an optional add-on for scripting, with failure checks.
In that case the person already has enough money to lobby politicians and influence parlement anyway.
Both AMD and Intel are competing for bragging rights, but they are both pushing the power envelope to accomplish it. The Raptor Lake processors take it to the next level. The law of diminishing returns kicks in whenever a new version is something like 20% faster but requires 25% more power in order to do it.

There are times when I will certainly sacrifice cost for speed, but most of the time I want my CPU to churn out pretty good performance while being frugal on the power budget.

$1.7M is approximately the construction cost for a ~2000 sq ft rebuild in the suburbs. So that does seem a bit high to construct a single 150 sq ft bathroom.

Probably the mistake is undertaking such a small project to begin with. It sounds like there are many fixed overhead costs (such as environmental review) that must be paid regardless of project size. Maybe you could have a 1,000 sq. ft. bathroom for $2 million, or an entire 10,000 sq. ft. park for $4 million.

The reason was that I remember DHH stating they were doing 2K RPS with 30 App Server in 2015 ~ 2016. And they were on one Primary DB. ( At least that was what I jot down in my notes ). I was assuming they could fit multiple "App Server" Node inside a single 1U Blade. But even if it was 1U per App Server, that would be 30U + likely a Powerful 4U DB Monster. Along with probably some Cache instances.

Even if the number above does not include redundancy, that still only makes it 2 Racks of Servers with spare.

30 Racks is a lot. What am I missing here? Apart from Storage.

This looks a lot like the "I'm gonna pay you $100 to F-off" scene from Trailer Park Boys where the money is being given to parties who would usually whine if there wasn't something "in it for them" (the unions, the NIMBYs, the politicians, etc.)

Surely the fact pattern doesn't meat the legal definition of graft but if the entity doing the paying out wasn't the government a negligence tort would probably fly so it kind of begs the question why this fact pattern is acceptable.
There's a lot of issues with it. It's de facto bribery to buy votes from labor unions. If a union can win the job in a free and open auction then so be it. But it shouldn't be awarded to them just because.

There's a reason we have transparency in the bidding process for government work. This is cronyism.

Keeping Up with the Karumes (2015)
I believe the OP's point is that almost every new technology is greeted with accusations of being worse than what came before and what it's assumed it will replace, whether or not that actually proves to be the case. The examples may seem facetious, but they're all real.

I do think a case could be made that the changes in communication driven by the internet actually are different, but it's not the change itself, per se, as much as the speed of change. Pre-internet these changes were generational, and they generally took a generation (or more!) to be fully adopted and integrated into society. Now they're coming every decade or less, sweeping through the world in a matter of years.
You probably don’t want to step in SF ever. FTFY.
The problem is not whether or not any definition of consciousness is correct, the problem that even if it can be said to be correct, such definitions often just shift the undefinedness and hairiness of consciousness to some other term.

In your specific case, for example, there are non-trivial issues with the words "perception", "self", and "internal experiences".

So instead of ben_w saying

>nobody really knows what "consciousness" means

you just changed it to

>nobody really knows what "internal experiences" means

So then we haven't really gained anything in terms of being able to do rigorous science w.r.t. consciousness (except for some vague pointers, which might be valuable nonetheless).
Honestly having lived in the UK I find the flexibility of the unwritten constitution to be both a good and a bad thing.

On one hand, the constitution where I come from (Portugal) is unnecessarily binding and causes a lot of issues the country suffers from. On the other hand in the UK you get this feeling that the PM can do almost anything, which in the hands of a decent person can heavily advance the country or in a period like now, can cause utter chaos.

For the past few months I've been listening to Robert Caro's The Power Broker on audiobook (which has far and away the best narration I've ever heard - props to Robertson Dean!) and am about 40 hours in out of 65. The book is about a NYC administrator named Robert Moses who operated from roughly 1930-1970, and is quite eye-opening in its depiction of how the sausage is made in public works projects. I greatly recommend it if you have any interest at all in the nature of power within these areas. Robert Moses was famous in his time for "getting things done", which he was certainly successful at - but to think this required him to sweep away all the corruption and graft is absolutely untrue. He turned it to his own ends and operated successfully within an amazingly corrupt system, paying off everybody he could. All of this was non-transparently funded with money from public authorities, like bridge operators collecting tolls whose capitalization and disbursement were purely controlled by him. So we know this public toilet costs $1.7 million, which honestly isn't too astonishing a sum, but another era it also probably would have cost that - you just wouldn't know it unless you dug through the records decades after everyone involved was dead. Also the toilet would have, like, displaced an entire block of ethnic minority families or something. And had an elevated highway built over it.

My guess would be something about the dynamics of dark matter in galaxy evolution pushes the distribution into a shape that produces those mathematically simple rotation curves. That seems Occam's-razor compliant to me; it would be weird if rotation curves with dark matter were really complicated and unpredictable. It's also possible that both MOND and LCDM have some truth to them. But usually people are trying to get rid of dark matter, and that's just not happening.

There is a term for that, called profit margin. And profit margins have not materially increased.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/KR/kroger/profit-m...

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/ACI/albertsons/pro...

Obviously, a 3% profit margin after a year of inflation is going to be nominally higher than a 3% profit margin before the year of inflation.

Hence any whining about nominal increases in profit is innumeracy, or clickbait, especially for businesses that play in the sub 5% profit margin ranges.

How low do people think grocery store profit margins should go? Have they tried successfully operating a business at 3% profit margin?

Maybe they weren't. We're getting a claim that is seemingly only attributed to one person, who was recalling something. When did he have this recollection? What was the context? Was he recalling the dirty floors "back then" compared to today's shops? What was his sample population (only a few in poor, rural areas)? Is he (or the author of this) merely styling himself as a "white savior", bringing cleanliness to Japan? Who did he say it to? Let's not forget, Child tasked himself to bring Harleys to Japan when the company wanted him to go to Shanghai. He maybe thought he had to overstate his worth a bit...

Pretty weird that roles changes and now Intel is dominating low end and AMD is trying hard to dominate high end.
