How though? What is required for elderly care to work? In my mind its a problem of free housing, and having a cyclic workforce of part-time volunteers (e.g. like military service). That or robots.

Well we've been the dominant species on our planet for tens of thousands of years, so I'd say it's gone pretty well so far.
I'd say this is a Cogent problem. Not an IPv6 nor an "Internet" problem. Tye solution is to single out Cogent and that class of ISPs, like Telefónica in ES.

This is simply not true. It is correct for a tiny fraction of developers. There’s people outside of the USA and the Bay Area specifically. A lot of them.
Humans can think; humans are machines; therefore machines can think.
> birth control became commonplace and socially acceptable

Birth control is not a standard practice everywhere. (And its history is ancient, with "social acceptability" involving some cultures and times - as opposed to being some "general state of things".)

The fertility rate in Niger is over 6.5 children per women; that of South Korea is near 1; the rounded quintiles are 1.5 .. 4.0 .
Covid really started in March. Most births that happened in 2020 were conceived before that.
We are at the "assembly" stage of genetic tinkering. Manually changing over the 'machine code' of the cell, the linear sequence of physically bound instructions. I wonder what the future might bring in terms of higher level programming of cells.
I think realistically walking meeting outcomes would be worse. At least in my case, walking around outside switches me into survival mode. Raised heart rate and adrenaline. I learned this during covid when I was doing laps around the local park on a zoom meeting.

But yeah you don't need a reason or a framework in which to operate in. Just walk out of the bloody door.
Rural America is a) not nice to trespassers(and you're bound to walk on private land if you're off the main streets) and b) is even more car dependent than urban areas, so human or animal paths usually don't exist.

I suggest you start having alternative sources for news and geopolitical issues my fellow angry German.
I think you are misunderstanding what a derivative work is and what is required for something to be considered one. Read the examples in the link you posted. Many of these don’t incorporate a literal direct copy of the underlying work.
Actually, yes. Hell yes. If you could perpetually hand over those tasks to a robot, $2000 is a reasonable price for it.
If Plan 9 had been released earlier before Unix took over the world, then there's a good chance Plan 9 would've taken over the world instead. Bad decisions can be made without the second system effect coming into play, and vice versa. Releasing plan 9 as a propietary OS during that time was pure folly, but not the second system effect.

And the second system effect needs not be about the market at all? I wrote a distributed caching thing once that was somewhat of a hack in many places and the replacement for it has been stuck in development hell for over a year now. No market to speak off.
That's a fascinating opinion, as I've never thought of Germany being a symbol of virtue. If anything, Germany is a paragon of bureaucracy. They have excellent engineering when used for good, but as history taught us, that's not always the case.
I'd be sufficiently happy if a printer just accepted writing bmp/gif/jpg/png files to it, because then monsterous proprietary printer drivers wouldn't be necessary. "WinPrinters" were supposed to solve this, since Windows' GDI could do the rasterisation itself (and for non-Windows, similar libraries exist), but clearly that didn't work out. Cheaper, dumber printers with simpler firmware are not a bad thing at all, both for the user and the manufacturer. Unfortunately the latter are more interested in hostile "smart" crap.
> I'm not sure that's how it works

This article [1] contains benchmark results for several SSDs and a good HDD. You can compare sequential read speed in fastest mode (SEQ1M) and random read speed in slowest mode (RND4K) and see that there is a huge difference for both HDD and SSD on order of 50x (for SSD) and 300x (for HDD).

HDD is very slow for random read/write access because it needs to wait until the desired sector will spin underneath the head, one spin takes approximately 10 ms, and on average you need to wait half of that time.

> For your HDD to reach that speed in sequential write, the free space should be contiguous.

If the file system is smart enough to allocate large chunks of free sectors then the write will be sequential. If there are no large contiguos chunks then maybe you need to defragment your drive using standard Windows tools (don't know if there are similar tools for Linux) otherwise write speed will be very low.

> SSDs actually can take advantage of parallelization

This doesn't matter when you need to swap pages in because you retrieve one page after other and cannot parallelize this (as pages are swapped in only when they are accessed by the program).

But I can agree that buying $30 SSD is probably the cheapest way to speed up an old computer.

It's been a while now but we saved about 10-100x moving from aurora to dynamo for a pure/simplish OLTP use case. Lost a lot of flexibility but the aurora costs were going to send us under.

We also had a few issues where aurora was giving us *incorrect query results* and aws support were not helpful. Most of the issues were denied, even with simple reproductions, and then got fixed years later (~2-3) after we had given up. We still use it today but stay away from cutting edge features, unusual query patterns, and high volume use cases.

Having said all that, SQL still seems like the correct choice for getting an MVP out quickly.
When I was a first year AI student beginning of the 90s I asked my professor what would happen if we just made a massive neural network and trained it with all information in the world. He said it cannot happen as it it impossible.
Great reply. Thanks.

I should have been more specific! For each time PNW isn’t lovely, Baja is.
Yup you can construct constraints such that they are impossible to solve. Solving using global methods can also end up in cases where the solver is going to take to long to solve for the simulation to remain real-time. Lots of trade offs to make based on what you’re trying to do.
> 2. Take thousands of prompts, generate several responses for each of them, and have human reviewers rank the responses for each prompt from best to worst

Step 2 is not that. It's manually writing responses for a few tasks.

> A labeller demonstrates the desired output behavior.

(left side on https://cdn.openai.com/chatgpt/draft-20221129c/ChatGPT_Diagr...)

So it is supervised training in this stage. Ranking is the next stage, for training the reward model. This is not the reward model, it's a model to generate sample responses to be used by the reward model.

So there are two kinds of manual work involved here - manually demonstrating how to solve tasks, and ranking responses. There is even talk about how much effort to invest in the first vs the second and what is the trade-off.
Oh man I love getting high and watching the original Star Trek. All the imagined analogue computer technology makes me wonder...
Would recommend reading Chapter 3 "From Eternity to Here" by Sean Carroll (or maybe read the entire book) for a "light weight" introduction. If you don't have the time then TL;DR : universe is expanding means literally that, i.e it is almost as if new space is getting created rather than "cosmological scale objects" hurtling away from each other because they "gained momentum (if one can even call it that)" because of that big bang.
I rolled that into mandatory fees, assuming the airport was owned by the government. I know there are for-profit private airports, but I was keeping things simple. And yes, airports have to be paid for, as do planes, labor, administration, and fuel :) But we are assuming magical powers here, or the ability to provide all of these services for half the cost.

There’s an incredible amount of corruption among German politicians, especially among the “richer” parties CDU/CSU and FDP who are constantly being lobbied and bought by managers in the bigger industries (e.g. automobile and construction). That’s one of the reasons why Germany is so behind with environmental issues, technology/digitalization, and government transparency.

Thats how it feels looking at ChatGPT.

I showed it to few few friends and each of them started using it immediately, and I dont mean just playing with it, but using it for their work. I showed it to my daughter and she started using it (to have creative combinations of idiot and pig in japanese - buta baka and so on, but also to sum list of lists of lists of integers in python)

I love this feeling of uncertainty, I can not predict where things will go, its both exciting and terrifying. Will google disappear? Will we even use the web anymore? Is it the end of static software, but now every program has some sort of ABI like interface to be modified by GPT?

It feels like the start of a new paradigm of how we use computers.
Your perceptions were off. They have excellent engineering culture, which has bolstered every part of the economy & allowed them to perform poorly almost everywhere else IMO.

I think Germans are asking similar questions. Brandenburg Airport was delayed a lot and for things which ought never to have gone wrong. I think Merkel made a joke about there still being plenty of high-quality German engineers, just that they all worked in Switzerland.

But ich bin Ausländer, and my German isn't good enough to do an in-depth analysis of local media opinions on any topic, so I may just be focusing on a few headline cases and mistaking the details for the gestalt.
Why are humans so obsessed with projecting our mental abstractions we use to engineer and reason about physical reality into a be all end all theory of existence? Quite pretentious for some monkeys who just learned how to fly 4 generations ago.

> Money is not zero sum. It is created and destroyed as loans are made and repaid.

I don't think this is true. Every transaction, even the ones that take place in the rows of a bank's database and not with physical money, involve an amount added to some account and an identical amount subtracted from another account. Even loans don't create money: the issuing bank have the amount subtracted from its reserves the exact moment the loan is made available to you.

The only method to create money would be writing a check with no date on it, which is illegal in many countries.
Don't we already? That was the reason work lots of people enjoy doing, like game development, paid peanuts and/or worked through so many people.

Oh don't be silly: The software with the best security track record is written in C (e.g. qmail) so there are obviously many alternatives. You could sit and think for a bit, for example.

> Just because fuzzing, testing, proving still let bugs exist doesn't mean it pointless. Let alone doing it in memory unsafe language.

I never said pointless, just that you were wrong what what they do.

Really sounds like you are. I talk about code that's finished, and you talk about code that isn't finished.

It totally makes sense to me how someone who wants to never get finished would use rust, but friend, that isn't me.
That looks tempting but what happens after? Can you sell your exploit and then submit a patch for it? Is an exploit intellectual property?
Partially. The German state owns 20% and is the largest shareholder. However those shares are not managed by government directly (as with Deutsche Bahn, the railway, where the traffic ministry has direct hold) but is held by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau, which is tasked with handling it economical, not political.

Of course that separation isn't complete and strict and there is political influence from that level and they have influence via specific post laws especially on the letter side (government has oversight on tarifs and requires deliver to everywhere in Germany etc. via monopoly laws)
I'm kind of surprised that no one has mentioned the possibility of pilots having malicious intent.
There's a lot of great software that's not written by people who work with web development. There's also plenty of utter garbage software that's not written by people who work with web development. I don't think web development sticks out enough to make it unique
Your comment here sounds like it is referencing WW2, which is a little silly. Germany changed massively after that (I mean, it was literally two countries for a few decades).

Governments can look very different from one decade to the next. So it doesn’t make sense to reference a war-time government from 80 years ago as an example of how a current government behaves.
Another view of Datalog, the underlying language, is a graph database with nodes of one verb and an arbitrary amount of objects/subjects. The query language only allows fixed verbs, but it has a built-in reasoning engine that lets you deduce new graph nodes from querying existing subgraphs.
Y'all squinting too hard looking into formulas. The artifacts we use to calculate results of experiments are not the fabric of the cosmos.
We already have a "neverending font of social cues, selected for their difficulty to predict and replicate". There's so much dogwhistle signalling and euphemism treadmilling going on in modern Internet discourse whose primary purpose just seems to be to enable people to identify $OTHER_TRIBE and signal that they're part of $TRIBE.
Someone specifically ran my text against a test program, it shows high positive for bot origin. There's a bunch of discussions about this, if you're in the training set, it may account for it. There's a case for the detectors flagging that. Scott Aarenson has said he's thinking about a background signal in buried semantic signals to detect.

I find Oumuamua intriguing, it seems so different to all the other asteroids and I do really wonder if it is an alien object. I wish we found more about it while it was here. There were suggestions we could send a probe to catch it up, but I doubt we ever will.
Ok, so Wikipedia is the closest we have of an actual truth-ministry, with an almost impenetrable sea of checks and balances to weed out biases, lolz and lies [0]. Looking at it that way it becomes clear that it must fail, and there should be competing solutions.

These will however also fail, and so what we would end up with are a number of sites with largely the same information, albeit with some difference in nuance that ultimately will coalesce along political lines. Some with maybe better tools for merging new edits but lacking in other respects. And that's not good either.

So Wikipedia should stay, and iron out the crinkles instead. Let's just not expect it to be perfect.

You are cherry-picking one particular example. The neutrino and the planet Neptune were "dark matter" for decades until better detectors became available.
I am confused how a person is getting wealthier in this world of yours if either a) there are not enough people to fill jobs due to a decline in population or b) robots do begin to replace high value jobs?

Also, with your 0 coefficient you are assuming infinite wealth? That seems...unreasonable.

Ultimately the author makes a good case if the assumption is that we never make it off Earth. Growth could probably be sustained at an exponential pace if we become interplanetary but it certainly won't happen overnight.

I know a bit about the MCAS disaster. Very few people know that there were *three* incidences of MCAS runaway trim. What happened with the third one (which was actually the first incident)? It didn't crash. The pilot just turned off the stab trim system.

The override was there, it was always there. The thumb switches on the control column overrode it. Turning it off with the STAB TRIM CUTOFF switch turned it off.

This procedure was detailed in an Emergency Airworthiness Directive issued to all 737MAX pilots after the first crash. The pilots in the second crash did not follow that procedure.

The pilots of all three incidents used the thumb switches to override MCAS and restore normal trim. The first crew then turned off the trim and landed safely. The second crew never did turn off the trim and crashed. The third turned off the trim when the airplane was in a dive and could not recover.

Maybe it's a Cold War propaganda relic? Growing up as an Englisher, history was divided into "Bad Germany" (1930-1945), and "Good (West) Germany", ever since, and the only real stereotype we had of the Germans was that they'd get up early to stake out spots by the pool on holiday. I have to assume that during the Cold War there was a great deal of propaganda highlighting the relative merits of West Germans.
In general, I don't understand the push of humans to want to replace everything we do with machines. What's the point? What's the end goal? We just sit in a vat of embalming fluid consuming media with a feeding tube while machines whir about? Why can't enough ever be enough for humanity?
Unless you have worked extensively with the data and math of modern cosmology I very much doubt your 'intuition' about 'dark matter' is anywhere close to the intended meaning.

"Oh lultimouomo", you say, "the were transfer might be nominally free but sure having a bank has other costs involved". No fixed cost, yrgulation, so by the very fact of having a bank account, depositing money in it and taking it back by wire transfer or ATM you are never paying a fee.
Also, cash has a cost. You risk being mugged, you risk getting a wrong change by the cashier, the store risks a robbery / break in (and most often pays expensive insurance to protect itself against this)

All fair points. It probably depends a lot on the size of the company. At some stages you need to take risks; at others, you need to prioritize avoiding bad hires.
Yes I have a German friend who spends 3 months a year filing their tax situation. German paperwork is insane. And because a lot of the country is surprisingly technologically backwards, everything is on actual paper still.

The climate explanation is not entirely without basis, judging by the relative popularity of inkjets compared to lasers in (moist) Southeast Asia; but if that was the real reason rather than price differentiation, they should've been far more transparent with it.

I know some cartridges also have expiry dates, which is at least somewhat more reasonable as ink does dry, but instead of being simply a label you read, they're encoded on the cartridge chip and the printer refuses to use them if they've expired.
Dark matter is the simplest theory.
