This isn't an argument. It's perfectly possible to transfer waste between two entities under a general legal contract. Unless there is specific legislation in Chile that would prohibit this, is there?

And it's nothing like your flawed analogy. No need to use an analogy when the exact situation will do - it's exactly like you can pay a waste disposal corporation to dispose of the waste you created.
A lot from the article will not work, because the terms are too overloaded ("three point"). SD photography and lighting keyword dump I've tested for 1.5:

f1.8, dof, bokeh, soft focus, chiaroscuro, backlit, golden hour, soft lighting, natural lighting, warm colors [but not "cool"], Polaroid, lens flare

"85mm", "50mm" etc all make the image realistic, but don't do anything specific.

Pro-tip: use "windows" to get many of the outdoor lighting keywords available indoors.
If you generalize from drugs example, crypto (may) help you do things governments do not want you to do. Drugs are just one widespread restriction; and you may view Western governments as generally competent and benevolent (to be clear, I do not), and drug prohibition as necessary evil.

But it's hard to claim that most governments around the world and competent and benevolent, and easy to get excited about people being able to bypass things from capital controls and ruinous inflation, to outright censorship and confiscations. Not that I think crypto would actually succeed, but I hope it does.
I have seen that kind of thing a few different places and I just plain decline to believe that it isn't done with knowledge.

I basically agree. I don't think the political mechanisms exist in the short-to-intermediate term to get salaries in government labs high enough. As you point out, the extent to which "civilians" will be willing to participate in these lines of work is an open question (said without judgement, just as an observation). Presumably folks who have opted-in to work at defense contractors will be more willing, but do they have the ability to attract a sufficient amount of talent in this area?

I have my monitors set to always use the same input, but the reponsiveness of the buttons/OSD on some of the newer monitors is noticeably laggy for some reason. At least 100ms if not more between pressing a button and seeing the response. Ironically, I also have some Samsung LCD monitors from around 2 decades ago (they still work, but are rather small) where the OSD response is instantaneous.

> however there's no indexing being used and this is a full-table scan.

That first steatement about "no indexing being used" is not quite correct if the query is run exactly as you show in your nice example.

ClickHouse performs what is known as PREWHERE processing which will effectively use the int1000 and int100 columns as indexes. It scans those columns and knocks out any blocks (technically granules containing by default 8192 rows) that do not values that match the filter conditions. It then performs a scan on the remaining blocks to get the actual counts.

PREWHERE is effective because columns are compressed and scans are fast. If there's any pattern to the filter columns (for example monotonically increasing counters) or their values have high cardinality PREWHERE processing will remove a large number of blocks. This will make the rest of the scan far faster.

In your dataset it may not be especially efficient because you use random values, which don't necessarily compress well, and the values will appear in many blocks. It works much better in real datasets where data are more correlated.

EDIT: PREWHERE is much faster in cases where you are doing more complex aggregation on many columns. Counts of course don't need to scan any extra values so it's not helpful in this case.

p.s. Scans are ridiculously fast.
If I were to enter the CAPTCHA-breaking business today, I'd probably use one of these services at first to collect a million correct solutions for $800, and then use that dataset to train my AI.

43 days ago I asked this question:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33215740

This question got voted down everywhere I discussed it on Hacker News, but somehow the submission itself got 11 points. Apparently, it is an offensive question to some silent, pro-censorship part of the population here. Today I'll ask it again, and I hope somebody will respond in a useful way:

QUESTION:

I write software for parallel processors at a hardware/software company you've heard of. I am located in California but many of my coworkers are located in China (roughly half the team).

We are directly affected by the American government's severe new CPU/GPU export restrictions.

It seems to me that America is preparing for a period of cold war, or worse.

It's time to start thinking about contributing to the American war effort by writing high-performance military computing systems.

For example, SIMD particle filters for hypersonic weapons, or low-latency convolutional neural networks for battlefield devices.

So, Hacker News: What company is the best place to do this work? What team?

Tribute. China always expected tribute from its neighbors.

The benefits in return for tribute were often greater than the tribute, but it did show a high level of domination of its neighbors for most of its history.
This suits the government very well. Pay one teacher to teach say 25 kids. That frees up 24 mom's to enter the work force and pay taxes. And it's a big bonus that the kids get educated in the basics of the three R's, so the economy is boosted a lot. It's a win, win, win. Parents win (free education for their kids), government wins with youth educated to grade 12 level and the kids get educated and learn to socialize with their peers. Oh and the police can pick out the future psychopaths very early on before they get older and learn to cover their tracks. What's not to like?

Fair question, but I don't think one needs to be very skilled in the arts of war and military tactics to foresee that AI will be important in the future of war. I don't think it's worth throwing our dear Wang's blog out the window for this. The points he makes about AI's involvement in the future of war are very broad and high level. For example, he compares the amount of money that each country is spending on AI in the military and concludes that the US is lagging. It would be interesting if we had someone, like Palmer Luckey, who is actually involved in military AI speak in more detail about it.
> wolf warrior diplomacy, the aggressive and illegal construction of military bases in disputed waters all over the South China Sea, the interference in US elections, the rampant IP theft along with constant attempts to steal military secrets, along with threats of total war whenever the US sneezes in the direction of Taiwan

Dyed in the wool American here. All of these pale in comparison to the history of our my nation, which has been at war with much of the world for most of its existence. Rampant IP theft is nothing compared to the bombing of civilian infrastructure in Iraq (among other countries in the Middle East) during the 1990s and 2000s, the clusterfuck of atrocities that was the Vietnam War, to say nothing of our extensive support for dictators in Latin America throughout the 20th century. When it comes to interfering with elections (and indeed the results of them), we put China to shame. I love my country, but I can't pretend that our military industrial complex has been anything but a threat to countless other nations and will certainly continue to do so.
Russia hasn't been dismantled unfortunately. There's a good chance they end up with more territory.

Good point, I should have mentioned this was basically a worst-case scenario for Clickhouse as the data layout is totally random (same approach as OP used in their benchmark) and isn't able to utilize any granule pruning, sorting, or skip indexing, but is still able to achieve such remarkable speeds.

The article is in the journal - Responsible Statecraft -- published by the think tank - Quincy Institute. This stuff isn't hard.

In terms of rational or irrational, it's irrational to fight wars that destabilize the world and that you cannot win. It doesn't matter that you really want to win. It doesn't matter if you think you should win. That's the difference between acting emotionally versus acting rationally. The Quincy Institute distinguished itself by opposing many of our middle east wars for this reason - wars that we lost and that resulted in millions of deaths. The US has attacked or invaded over 120 nations since 1991, and that's not even counting all the color revolutions and coups that we've sponsored to destabalize nations all over the world because we didn't like their governments or we want to create chaos along the borders of our rivals. I'm sure an argument could be made that each of these nations were led by a government that didn't share our values or that did some bad things, but nevertheless it was irrational to follow this course. For example, we destabilized Afghanistan by sponsoring Islamic terror there, incentivizing the Soviets to invade. That was covered in the book "The Bear Trap". The result was the radicalization and destruction of Afghan society, and it also led to the promotion of Islamic terror all over the world, including the creation of Al Qaeda. So this was irrational, even though it felt good to give the Soviets an L at the expense of destroying Afghan society. Similarly we are sponsoring Kurdish terror now to destabilize Iran and punish Turkey, but it is again causing a coalition of nations to form against the U.S. We are currently supporting Myanmar terror groups attacking the Junta in order to cause chaos on China's border, and also radical islamic terror groups in Pakistan that are attacking Belt and Road projects. We dismembered Libya with over 50,000 bombing runs because it was a Russian ally and now the nation which had the highest standard of living in Africa is a Mad Max scene of rival warlords and open air slave markets. We engineered two violent color revolutions in Ukraine to install anti-Russian governments and urged Ukraine to not negotiate and not implement the Minsk 2 agreement, and now we are pumping it full of weapons so that they will fight until the last Ukrainian. We supported contra terror groups in Nicaragua, mined their harbor, and blew up their oil pipelines. It is a wreckage of destroyed nations all around the world, which only hurts our long term interests, and this is why it is irrational.

Some of this could be interpreted as satire. For example, it's not necessary to improve AI capabilities in order to generate believeable propaganda - nation-states have been doing that ever since the printed press was invented, and before. It certainly reached a fever pitch in the 20th century, with radio, television, print and internet media all being the scene of numerous pitched propaganda battles, with social media being (perhaps) the dominant information-warfare battleground of the 21st century.

As far as the Ukraine drone war, that's not really different from the Afghan drone war, the main difference being the relative lack of energy infrastructure or heavy armor to attack in Afghanistan. Whatever one can say about Russia vs NATO-backed Ukraine, or the USA vs Afghanistan, neither serves much purpose for making predictions about an 'all-out war' between China and the United States.

One glaring omission is the failure to recognize that China is a nuclear power (as its ally North Korea), and it's not hard to imagine a serious naval conflict between the USA and China going nuclear - what better way to eliminate an offshore aircraft carrier battle group, for example? This article mentions nuclear once (in a 1942 context) and barely discusses what a real naval conflict would look like, other than to claim that 'autonomous adaptive drone swarms' would be harder targets to than aircraft carriers. That's a science fiction story line from, say, the Iain M. Banks Culture novels, not a realistic scenario for naval warfare (and what about submarines?).

All in all this reads like a bit of hyperventilation, or maybe a sales pitch put together by the AI warfare divisions of Lockheed and Northrup. It also ignores the rationale for 'having a human in the loop', but then maybe the author hasn't seen the 1980s movie War Games?

Right, they are high level points, which is why I am having a hard time finding something specific to critique or even disagree with.

For example, when I think of the question of “how will AI be used” the obvious answer, which Wang more or less addresses, is targeting systems. Basically, we’re just going to automate all of that and instead of a bunch of captains in the S2 shop cooking up target packets and deciding which one makes the most sense, the AI just does all of this for us.

But what does this actually mean? Can we obsolete some/most/all of the S2 shop and replace it with a container of servers stacked with GPUs to do imagine processing? Take that manpower and add another infantry platoon? A drone operations platoon?
Maybe this glib cynacism has something to do with it. The world, and the people in it, aren't all that great. Both can be cruel. Maybe we have to try to see the good in it all.
Can you further explain what you mean by dark patterns?
