I agree, I've never found the entropy explanation compelling even if it is ultimately mathematically sensible - but that applies to a lot of quantum physics, and the universe certainly isn't beholden to my whims.

Entropy "feels" more like an emergent property of any system of probability then a fundamental force - i.e. build a rule set, and anywhere you have state transitions you'll have entropy emerge as a term you can calculate and measure.

The thing is the other candidates are kind of equally mysterious. For example if you go with the idea that all matter is 4D vectors with a magnitude of C in spacetime, it's not really clear why we can affect our motion through the "time" vector (by acquiring physical velocity in other directions) but not completely invert it, or why there should be a speed limit at all.

Yeah it's ridiculous what they let these companies get away with building without properly expanding the infrastructure people are gonna be using to actually access their houses.

In DFW they slowly expand outwards by building these housing developments like 20-30 minutes farther from where "civilization" ends out in "the countryside", so you have these huge suburban hellscapes smackdab in the middle of rolling farmland and cattle and small country houses, and not any kind of retail stores for miles.

My brother lives in one of these, and there's easily 1000+ houses in his neighbor and the other 3 or 4 immediately surrounding it, and the only way to get to any of them is a
single two lane road that stretches for a few miles off the state highway it branches off of. Around 8am/5pm it takes literally hours to make it out or get back to your house because of how many cars there are backed up.

In a language that I don't quite have the cojones to write, the ideal API for reduce comes from Haskell’s Data.Foldable, where it is called foldMap.

If you don't know Haskell the idea is simple, it is that the essence of MapReduce is for you to have an aggregating data type A with two operations,

empty(): A
combine(A, A): A

such that

combine(combine(x,y), z) = combine(x, combine(y, z))
combine(empty(), x) = x
combine(x, empty()) = x

The requirement that `combine(x, y) = combine(y, x)` is not strictly necessary if the MapReduce implementation maintains shards and shard indices and is careful to only merge neighboring shards, the first property is then sufficient.

To make this into MapReduce, you need your underlying data type X and an injection, (x: X) → A. This is the mapping part of MapReduce.

So for example “First10” is such an aggregation; given the first 10 (or fewer) in shard 1 and the first 10 (or fewer) in shard 2, you can form the first 10 (or fewer) in shards 1+2. The “map” function can use the empty value to provide “filtering,” so you get “the first 10 which satisfy this logical condition” directly.

Sum is another such aggregation, Count is a specialization of it, Mean is technically just a pair of Sum and Count. Oh, did I forget to mention? Given two aggregations you can easily produce an aggregation that does both. “give me the sum of this field and the first 10 records summed and the count of terms” ... One (parallelizable) pass for all three, because the aggregations compose.

So a macro API is possible where this is instead something like, (I don't know Clojure)

(loopM [x [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]]
(if (< x 5)
[(sum x) (count) (sum (* x x)) (first 3 x)]))

#=> [15, 5, 55, [1, 2, 3]]
Bitmaps: Making Real-Time Analytics Real
To get to true real-time analytics, we can't just get better at scaling up or scaling out. Current technologies now excel at allowing users to spend more in order to get better performance, but the next generation of technologies needs to break efficiency barriers and open up new use cases. Scaling out works to a point, but the more machines you have, the higher the floor is on the latencies you can practically achieve. A more efficient technology is needed.
Huh, maybe taking his eye off of Tesla to attend to the dumpster fire at twitter is having a negative effect on musk’s other ventures. Who coulda predicted that?
They’re going back because the supply chain has eased up and their internally developed hi res radar (“Phoenix”) is reaching production grade, so they no longer have to argue Vision is superior to keep shipping units post pandemic.

My prediction was wrong though, see below. I assumed NHTSA would’ve forced a recall mandating a move back to radar. They didn’t, and Vision was good enough to receive the highest rating in Euro NCAP’s protocol. You don’t need radar for Autopilot (we have Teslas both with and without radar), but if they say it’ll help with FSD, that would be a reasonable thesis to put forth (without arguing the merits of FSD).

> Overall, the Model Y received an Adult Occupant Protection rating of 97%, a Child Occupant Production rating of 89%, a Vulnerable Road User Protection rating of 82%, and a near-perfect Safety Assist rating of 98%. The Model Y’s 98% score in the Euro NCAP’s safety assist category is especially impressive as these are related to features that utilize the company’s radar-less Tesla Vision system.

> In fact, Model Y’s Safety Assist rating is the highest score among the vehicles that have been tested by the Euro NCAP to date. The Model Y’s stellar Adult Occupant Protection rating is also the highest thus far under the agency’s 2020-2022 rating criteria. Overall, the results of the Model Y’s safety tests prove one thing: vehicles equipped with Tesla Vision are just as safe — if not safer — than other vehicles out on the roads today.

Interesting article, I have some questions:

> I want income for health care companies. I want enough to make sure they are there when me and my loved ones need them. Every company, whether a non-profit or profit, needs income.

I'm curious about the assumption here: why is market-based income necessary for the existence of a health care institution (hospital, doctor's office, pharmacy, etc) ? These institutions exist just fine when they're socialized and nationalized: see... well, any other country on earth lol.

> And the people providing the extremely worthwhile service of healing people, and easing people’s pain, should be paid well.

Why the assumption that they can't be if the system is detached from profits entirely, such as if it's socialized or nationalized?

I think the quote by your cousin Adam is funny, but I think I disagree with his assessment. Similar arguments are made to counter subsidized or socialized food distribution, the "buying lobsters on food stamps" argument basically. It's kind of a funny argument because it's sort of victim blaming: for the first time in someone's life they can eat like the rich people they see in media, enjoy a high quality of food, and like a human can be expected to, they do it in excess, and that's somehow... bad. But also, it's just mostly untrue, and I think anybody can know this for themselves asking a simple question: would you REALLY eat steak every day? (the cousin claims yes?) Knowing what that would do to your health? Knowing you surely would bore of the meal? And shit, if our society can provide a sustainable system where people CAN eat steak every meal (or whatever "extravagant delicacy" you can dream up), isn't that a GOOD thing?

Can't we say the same of healthcare? If we can create a system where EVERYONE can get high quality healthcare at low or no costs, isn't it GOOD that everyone will thus get high quality healthcare? The counter argument may be "we can't create this system," but I saw, no, you definitely can, other countries have and are doing so, I live in Taiwan and high quality healthcare is extremely accessible to the entire population, and a national effort to increase outcomes and accessibility is underway. I like to say, if you've got money for fighter jets, you've got money for free healthcare.
The reality is we the public are a bunch of babies and can get innocent individuals hurt by our bullshit. If you read the article, elderly people could get hurt or killed, is your curiosity really worth that price?

Or the opposite approach - stop mandating hospitals must accept any patient, regardless of their ability to pay. I bet hospitals would all of a sudden become affordable as they want to capture "low-income" market share.
That's outrageously inconsistent with all scientific studies.

"Among the residents of Belarus, Russian Federation and Ukraine, there had been up to the year 2005 more than 6,000 cases of thyroid cancer reported in children and adolescents who were exposed at the time of the accident, and more cases can be expected during the next decades. Notwithstanding the influence of enhanced screening regimes, many of those cancers were most likely caused by radiation exposures shortly after the accident. Apart from this increase, there is no evidence of a major public health impact attributable to radiation exposure two decades after the accident. There is no scientific evidence of increases in overall cancer incidence or mortality rates or in rates of non-malignant disorders that could be related to radiation exposure. The incidence of leukaemia in the general population, one of the main concerns owing to the shorter time expected between exposure and its occurrence compared with solid cancers, does not appear to be elevated."

I can't remember the names of any of these companies, but I know there's a healthy ecosystem of "endpoint management" businesses that sell essentially this service (among other things, like endpoint security monitoring/EDR).

The downside is then that you're running an ultra-privileged agent on each developer machine, with no particular guarantee that said agent is more secure than any given piece of software despite having way more power.

I've put 250 miles in Manhattan on my E-TWow Booster V over the past 3 months... even lock it up outside with little worry. No one cares, it looks like nothing (yes, I tested this out in sketchy areas watching with a careful eye in cafes I was working out of, not a single person gave it a glance).

Machine translation was already a challenge to many of our assumptions about the purposes and methods of language learning, but ChatGPT has raised even bigger issues that I, at least, do not yet grasp.

If anyone is interested in my thoughts on ChatGPT and language education, I am trying to put them together on the following page:

I mean, what do you think the answer should be?

There’s basically two approaches: inventory and enforcement.

In the former, you have your MDM inventory all the things and you follow up with folks that aren’t patched. In the latter, you lock it down and roll it out.

For dev environments, maybe try using a VM built using CI/CD and using that as the “dev environment”, so you can do it all in one go and make it easier to roll things out to folks once tested.

CodeSpaces is good for that… but, um…

You're talking about monthly savings, not take-home pay, which is usually defined as cash compensation after taxes, retirement, and deductions (i.e. how much you "take home" from each paycheck). Take home - expenses = savings.

And yes, savings and savings rate is the biggest determinant in eventual net worth. I know bond traders and FAANG engineers that make $200K+/year and live paycheck to paycheck because their expenses eat up all of that and then some. One guy literally blew it all on hookers & blow and then died of a fentanyl OD. I also know people that saved about 1/3 of their take-home on a grad student or Whole Foods salary and are now living a reasonable life as a homeowning family despite never breaking $100K/year in income.
Looks very interesting. Is supporting Tailwind part of your road map?
We’ve done an enormous amount of work to make mainstream mathematics work the way it currently works. We have sets which are infinite, but individual elements are not. In other words, you have an infinite set of numbers, but no number is itself infinite. Only after centuries of effort did we make this work rigorously.

I think it’s worth remembering this, when we think about alternative foundations for mathematics. What if we discard the axiom of infinity? What if we discard the axiom of choice? Axiom of regularity? Each of these decisions leads us to a path which may be as fruitful as current mainstream mathematics, but which relatively unexplored. Or you could stick with existing formulations, and rework how you do calculus.

To pick on the calculus example—mainstream calculus defines continuity using limits, which are defined by formulas quantified over infinite sets. What happens if, instead of using infinite sets, you use sets that contain infinite numbers? Voilà, you have nonstandard analysis… the “dx” and “dy” can now be actual infinitesimal numbers. Is this easier for students to understand? Or is it confusing? Does it formalize existing intuition about infinitesimals, and let you do things like treat dy/dx as an actual division?

Same is true in the opposite direction. What if you have no infinite sets, no infinite numbers? How do you do calculus? What theorems still work, which don’t?

The theorems that don’t work—do we miss them when they are gone?
