ChatGPT now is only one tool
Soon it will be just one piece in a box filled with a combination of tools that let you just know whatever you want to in a depth of detail you specify it to be laid out:

- large conversational language model that generates the piece of information

- fact checking model that applies post checks on logic and consistency

- recitational graph model that backs the propositions with sources and ratings

- geospatial and locational model that adds references in space

- recognitions development model that can classify how realizations and knowldege develop over time

- social trend model that can adjust to conversations of the society as a whole

All this in combination will bring any knowledge in any level of detail with a defined level of certainty.

> I didn't end up finishing the book, because it was all just too foreign a subject for me to get into.

Might I recommend starting it again? The beauty of the book has more to do with Wolfe’s writing style than anything else. And if you think about it, it’s not all that foreign. Much of it comes from the spirit and ethos of the Beats (with Neal Cassady at the wheel no less); it might help you get into what Wolfe is talking about by first starting with Kerouac. Once you get through his work, the Wolfe book will make perfect sense. I think if I hadn’t read Kerouac first, I might have felt the same way as you. I’ve found that the themes expressed in both Kerouac and Wolfe are quite universal, and can be found in many different cultures. Give it another try, it’s not as foreign as you might think.

I think this dovetails nicely with Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" [0] thesis. From the Wikipedia entry, it looks like 37% of Britons polled thought their jobs were "bullshit", with the HVB article talking about an excess management of around 17%.

I wonder how much overhead is "natural/health" and whether the amount of "bullshit" jobs is related to a "full employment" mentality, maybe even subsidized by the government.

To further ELI5, racemic means a mixture of left handed (Dextrorotatory) and right handed (Laevorotatory) versions of the same compound. Some molecules can have two different shapes that are mirror images of each other, and these different shapes can interact differently with our biology.

In this case, the right handed version is available in stores with no prescription, while the left handed version is a very controlled substance.

When you talk about software maintenance you're trying to get a hold on the cost of software. Most projects have a full development cycle to 1.0 and that after the initial release that team may be prioritized to work on something else (or not). When this happens the original piece of software may be in production and still needs to be maintained but no active development is taking place. The reason you might do this is that the dev team is a precious resource and having them iterate forever on the same piece of software (the product model) may not be financially feasible or desirable to the company.

There are companies that can afford the "product model" but it would require that everything developed by a company maintains a full dev team per software component. However, not everything needs to have features being added to it continually. It makes more sense from a people management perspective to move that team off and have them work on something else. In which case you have something in maintenance.

If you have to budget software it does make sense to think of it in terms of the capital expense of upfront development and the operating expense of it's maintenance. Much of the operating expense may involve hardware upkeep, recurring licensees, etc. People are an operating expense too but they can be moved around. Nevertheless the 'software' (without you) needs to be thought of as something that will be maintained when you're not working on it and what the cost of doing this will be.

So far this never happened on free operating systems running free software on X11. Hence I refuse to believe this is a realistic threat scenario. Severe sandboxing is only necessary for untrusted/non-FOSS software otherwise it just harms user experience an productivity especially for power users.
My impression is that a certain kind of people find the challenges of embedded work attractive, but leave it sooner or later since the pay is not competitive with generic (but more boring) webdev. I guess this is due to the nature of thin margins in manufacturing hardware?

With their infinite VC money at their disposal, and with their programmers having 100 GHz machines with thousands of cores, 128 TB of RAM and FTL internet connections, tech companies don't really have any incentive to actually reduce bloat.

It's Undefined Behavior by the C standard. So GCC (or other compiler) could use that for optimization, and omit the relevant lines or otherwise mess things up in weird ways. There's no guarantee that you'll notice, and no need for the identifier to be used by the host environment for it to cause a problem.

That said, I'm not aware of any current compiler that does this. It'd be weird.

That was actually the original plan! But unfortunately it seems like my phone's qr code reader won't open it in a browser automatically. I then tried using a url shortener to link to it but absolutely no shortener that I could find would take a data: url.

I could host my own shortener to do it, but it feels like that is cheating the spirit of the challenge.

I'll keep playing with it though, add touch device controls, maybe a site to allow generating different versions of the url (different colours, sizes, game over messages, etc).

The first amendment of the constitution is written so that each part is dependent on the previous parts.

Religion is protected because religion is what you think and believe.

Next speech is protected. It’s listed after religion because what you say is determined by what you think.

Freedom of the press protects what you say widely.

Next the right to assemble is protected because what you write in the press may inspire groups to form to petition the government for change which is the final item.

I disagree that religion should be treated the same way innate qualities like sex or ethnicity are, but it seems clear that until recently, the control religion had over society meant it was rare for people to leave religions like they do now - so religion becomes a proxy for a group, and the group gets persecuted based on their religion.

Enjoyed the write up, would be curious to see the twitter spend broken down by functionality given all the extra stuff they do. I imagine it's a non-linear relationship where the company has to burn more and more cash with every new feature (and esp things like Advertising which you need once your spend surpasses what a simple subscription can offer), more scale adds more complexity, bureaucracy and overhead (management, hr & recruiting, legal&accounting, etc). While it's likely there is waste (some of which is inevitable, see 'overhead' above) a super bareboens twitter can maybe run within one beefy machine but a 'real' twitter ends up needing millions + lots of people.

It'd be more like typename_method(this, arg, &err) in C because there are no namespaces or exceptions. Also you'll have to manually call destructors.

So yeah, it works fine, just more verbose cause it lacks some syntactic sugar. I prefer C for simple or high-performance programs, and I can see why people might want C++ for larger ones. Problem is some people make a mess pulling out all the stops in C++ OOP features.

This is ridiculous. "Scientific" American?

The Alaskan UBI of $1,600 PER YEAR proves that UBI doesn't disincentivize work? Yea, not if you can't even live a single month on it..

Simple math. The US federal budget for 2021 was $6.8T. The US has about 330 million people. This yield about $20k per person if we spend the entire federal budget on UBI. That means we haven't paid for any roads, border patrol, military, federal police, social security, medicare/medicaid, or any of the other stuff, so that's all coming out of those $20k.

And the $6.8T figure is actually very inflated, because that includes pandemic money. The 2019 budget was "only" $4.4T. And we didn't have enough income to pay even for that. So none of these pipe dreams would even be sustainable.

Now if we wanted to have a discussion about better targeting of the money we already do spent, sure. But UBI is just a crazy pipe dream and the math simply doesn't add up and never will.

Bottom line: a society rich enough to afford meaningful UBI doesn't need it, because people could just get a part-time job and become financially independent within very short time frames.

Exaggerating slightly, perhaps. But yeah, PHP was massively simpler.
Also Search (the article did says these wouldn’t fit to be fair but the discussion seems to be ignoring how much wouldn’t fit and why).

> Alcohol is as bad or worse than most illegal drugs save maybe crystal meth

Don't try this at home! :-) Not a medical advice, just logical speculation:

It is hard yet possible [for some rare individuals] to use meth sustainably for significant good and little harm. Right dosage, right supplements, right mindfulness, right partner and you can have increased productivity and sustain it, together with reasonably good health, for decades. I know there are at least some people who manage and that also is why medical desoxyn exists.

I believe individuals who can sustainably extract any significant productivity increase from regular (I don't mind an occasional beer with a friend) alcohol usage while minimizing the harm it does to really negligible levels are even more rare.

> The utilization argument is specious.

It's not. Utilization is a key metric in capacity planning of large scalable apps.

Capacity is based upon max utilization. A scaled web app is does not have constant utilization. The parent I was responding to suggested running on one large/face instance. Ok... if you're capacity planning, are you planning for peak rps or min rps? Obviously peak. Peak times are always a fraction of your total server uptime. This means one big/fast server would be underutilized most of the time.

How do you expect to dynamically vertically scale in cloud to fit demand while using a single server? Re-provision another server (either smaller or larger), redeploy all apps to the server, and then route traffic? Great, you're doing kubernetes job by hand.

I see this concept often cited when mathematicians talk about how they had a breakthrough on a proof, but I have to say, I don't think I've ever noticed it in myself, sadly.

I have good ideas, and sometimes I need a break before my idea generation is back to a good state. Perhaps this is because I spend most of my time coding on complicated but not groundbreaking stuff.

But a little bit of jealousy certainly at seeing this described as a "universal human experience."

No, the founders did not want the Federal government to interfere with the religions of the states. States at the time of the revolution had and maintained after the Constitution was ratified such things as religious tests for holding office. It’s only after the 14th Amendment and the incorporation of the 1st that this began to apply to State governments as well.
To me most interesting are factors I didn't consider in features I did cover. Next most interesting are features I didn't cover which are kinda core to Twitter being good, and also pose interesting performance problems, like the person who mentioned spam/abuse detection. After that are non-core features which pose interesting performance problems that are different from problems I already covered.

The comments that I think aren't contributing much are ones that mention features that I didn't cover but make no attempt to argue that they're actually hard to implement efficiently, or that assert that because I didn't implement something it isn't feasible to make as fast as I calculate, without arguing what would actually stop me from implementing something that efficient. Or ones who repeat that this isn't practical, which I say at length in the post.
