I meant that the intent is obviously the chained comparison. If lots of people do this (I have no idea) then it'd be nice to ensure we're doing that nicely, and if necessary here's syntax for expressing it (not in C though, where it already does the wrong thing).

What on Earth does your D expression do for numeric types? And why?

In Rust I can write this only if, in fact, c is always ordered with respect to a boolean which means c is itself a boolean. Since c is a boolean then ((a<b)<c) actually means ((a>=b) && c) which er... I guess? I doubt that writing either when you really meant the other will make your intent clear.

To steel-man OP's argument,

> Regulations and limited availability don’t cause more people to use drugs.

All else held equal, all this does is increase the price of doing drugs.

There are arguments to be made about the history of the demand for drugs. I think we can safely say, though, that it stays at a stable 'Some people really want to do them'. Whether or not that means growing a plant or potentially getting shot depends on the regulations.

I'm talking about bridges. Depending on political proclivities, anybody can find an example of government waste to suit any particular argument.

The observation is very simple: if the government estimates and allocates $500 million for a bridge and finds a contractor that claims to be able to do it for that price, there's very little reasonable power we can grant them to make the contractor meet their claimed budget. We could allow the government to throw contractors in prison for bilking them but, well, we already allow that (and it doesn't recoup the costs anyways).

Regulatory capture and special interests seem to be the bigger problem here. Complaining about NASA without considering why the government so fecklessly pays Lockheed Martin et al. billions a year is short-sighted.

I think you're assuming that scratch coding is slower than integrating an OSS you don't know. When I was thinking about this for one project, it came close enough that I rolled my own basic auth system according to the NIST recommendations and it definitely took less time than integrating something that I didn't know (and accepting all the unknown bugs that are inevitably there).

I also don't buy the argument "don't waste time on something that is not a differentiator" - I'm going to spend time on it anyway, so I might as well spend the time in the most productive way possible. Also, I guarantee that your solution isn't bug-free, and eventually one of them is going to bite me, so that also factors into the decision about time.

The basic version of authentication is actually really simple. When you add SSO, RBAC, Oauth2, ACLs, and other stuff, it gets really complicated. People should make intelligent decisions about what they want to do here rather than just using a provider.

To get rid of managers, you will need to solve comms problem.
There are many reasons we have managers.

Workers are not an abstract unit. They are human beings with human concerns and human availability. This needs to be accounted for separately from their work output. Managers allow you to create departments which are abstract units as a convenient interface over this problem.

Information flows are not always efficient or desirable to have broadcast to all individual workers. Managers serve as a node in this company information graph to help manage the reality of these concerns, and to provide a mechanism where information can actually flow in the opposite direction without creating chaos.

They're am imperfect solution to a worse problem.
It can be outsourced complexity as in just using horizontally scalable database like Spanner, CockroachDB etc.
I have fantasized about doing this as a startup, basically doing cache coherency protocols at the page table level with RDMA. There's some academic systems that do something like it but without the hypervisor part.

My joke fantasy startup is a cloud provider called one.computer where you just have a slider for the number of cores on your single instance, and it gives you a standard linux system that appears to have 10k cores. Most multithreaded software would absolutely trash the cache-coherency protocols and have poor performance, but it might be useful to easily turn embarrassingly parallel threaded map-reduces into multi-machine ones.

All web and cloud technologies are inherently inefficient, and most programmers don't know networking or even how hardware works sufficiently well to optimize for high througput and low-latency.

There was an article just yesterday about how Jane Street had developed an internal exchange way faster than any actual exchange by building it from the ground up, thinking about how the hardware works and how agents can interact with it.

Modern software like Slack or Twitter are just reinventing what IRC or BBS did in the past, and those were much leaner, more reliable and snappier than their modern counterparts, even if they didn't run at the same scale.

It wouldn't be surprising at all that you could build something equivalent to Twitter on just one beefy machine, maybe two for redundancy.

My workplace has a lot of managers, many of which I find to be rather redundant; however, my manager is the first one that I have ever had in my career that is particularly "good". He's less technical than some of the people on the team, but what he is very good at is limiting the ability for other departments to interfere with my team's work. He's almost like a border guard and diplomat for our team. Any sort of potential project involving co-operation between departments always goes to him first to figure out whether it fits our team. He also has our team's back in saying, "no, that is not my team's fault" --- in other words, he won't throw us under the bus. He lets us get our work done, and also provides us with clear higher level direction by managing how other departments interact with us. When a big project involving multiple departments develops, he is the one responsible for scheduling and...leading, for lack of a better word. I think some people bristle at the idea of being led, but a good leader is worth their weight in gold. A lot of bad managers are ultimately simply bad leaders.

Now, can every department have what my team has? I don't know. But, I can say that his work as a manager has actively improved team productivity and task completion. It's very refreshing once you have a good manager. You're free to just work while he manages the teams bureaucracy, that is other departments pushing the team in a thousand directions at once.
Economic inequality is written about constantly? Unless you mean something much more specific. The theory is opposed by one radical party, but it is talked about both by journalists and politicians.

ChatGPT struggled to tell me how to pin the bottom of a div to the bottom of its parent when scrolling (like a chat window does). It gave me the first thing that I tried (which is wrong). Eventually I figured it out, then confronted ChatGPT about it and it insisted on the wrong answer, and blithely dismissed the correct answer.

Raising the Standards of Retrofit: What is PAS 2035?
I wrote in the input: What is the name of that Nintendo game with animals and they live their life and do stuff?

ChatGPT: It sounds like you're thinking of the game "Animal Crossing." In Animal Crossing, you play as a character who lives in a village inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, and you can do a variety of activities such as fishing, bug catching, and decorating your home. Is this the game you were thinking of?

Google: Animal Crossing is a social simulation game, dubbed a "communication game" by Nintendo. It is open-ended, and the player's character can live a separate life with very little set plot or mandatory tasks. Animal Crossing (video game) - Wikipedia

ChatGPT-like question analysis is already integrated into Google search engine, for the good and for the bad.

No, it isn't. It generates 1 token at a time in a loop until the response is finished. It's a highly serialized task. Parallelization increases the throughput of how many queries can be processed simultaneously, but you wouldn't be able to speed up a single query.

to avoid implicit conversion - you can implicitly convert between meters and ft if its like this:

typedef int feet;
typedef int meters;

this sucks, because they are the same to the compiler. Making them structs makes them unique types, and you can no longer pass a feet value to a meters parameter, etc.

Its incredibly useful

My understanding is spring clamps typically use a helical spring, which is a compression spring coiled into a cylindrical shape. Other types of springs, such as leaf springs and torsion springs, may also be used in some spring clamps, depending on the specific design and intended use of the clamp.

In your first post you also equated tension and torsion springs, but they’re very different from each other. The former stores and releases linear energy while the latter stores and releases rotational energy.

The irony coming from an HBS publication.

The opposite argument is that we should make managers more effective at unlocking their team and org’s potential. And that the number is just about right (when you consider two pizza teams and the managers of managers in larger orgs).

Good managers help organize the most effective thing known to humans: humans.

I know this thread is about ChatGPT, but if you're still using Google then I suggest giving Kagi a try. It's a paid search engine, but I've been using it for quite a while now and really enjoy it. With Kagi you can rank and downrank domains as well as block them. There's also this think called "lenses" which are basically filters for specific kinds of searches. For instance, I have a "Programming" lens and a "Academic Research" lens.

> Personally, I wouldn't go long on search engines that don't have a strong ML component to them in the future.

What's kind of ironic about this is I think search engines may have mistakenly moved away from strong ML in the sense that you're thinking of.

Yes, ML is being used for recommendations much more than ever, but in terms of heuristically finding pages with the keywords you entered, mainstream search engines have become significantly worse at it. I remember a time when The Google would find any pages with the keywords you entered. In recent years (before I stopped using it), I noticed an increasing number of times where I knew it had a page indexed but it would refuse to include it in the results for whatever reason. Either its ability to fuzzy search pages seemed diminished or it would just not match something word-for-word. I could sometimes figure this out when the page I was looking for previously accidentally came up in the results for another barely-related search, so I knew it wasn't that the search engine was culling old pages. Though I'm sure they're doing that as well where they think they can get away with it.

Recommendations and curation are largely overrated, and that's where a lot of ML has been mistakenly applied. Well, I say mistakenly in the sense that it benefits the individual and society. Recommendation engines do serve the purpose of the company selling those recommendations.

A true application of machine learning to answer engines is the future and will be a big problem for companies that fought the advertising wars by banking on recommendation engines. That is unless they turn their ship soon enough.
Ah, the classic excuse for writing shitty software systems.
It's doing what the voice assistants were supposed to: solve problems by assisting you with more context in a conversational manner.

Text to speech queries solve the problem of my hands being broken. ChatGPT solves the problem of my brain being contextually broken and I need more context, not higher relevant search results at the bottom of the screen after the ads that I then slog through to wind up changing my query and searching again like some sadistic freemium ad driven Sisyphean task that flies in the face of innovation to help me reach a contextual nugget.

That's really cool! Each year of historical images I estimate at 2.8PB, so it would need to scale quite far to handle multiple years. How would you actually connect all those external drive chassis, is there some kind of chainable SAS or PCIe that can scale arbitrarily far? I consider NVMe-over-fabrics to be cheating and just using multiple machines and calling it one machine, but "one machine" is kinda an arbitrary stunt metric.
It is perfectly clear. We're talking of an almost full disappearance in forty years, not mere fluctuations over centuries.
> `npm audit fix`? There's nothing even like this on Android or iOS.

Because you don't need anything remotely like this for any proper app platform. I know of a complex web app that has more than half a million entries in its yarn.lock file. Five. Hundred. Thousand. Dependencies (of dependencies of dependencies of...)

Because there's literally nothing on the web that is suitable for app development, and you have to build the entire world from scratch, one dependency at a time, every single time.

And of course npm audit fix will not fix it because in true npm fashion even a minor update can trigger cascading failures across large swaths of the code you didn't even know were pulled in.
Seattle Schools Sue Big Tech over Youth Mental Health Crisis
The foundation of your worldview is more important than your position on a random topic.

And the privileged position of religion comes from a time where the punishment for not following the local approved worldview was anything up to a long torturous death, which didn’t tend to happen for other kinds of beliefs.
Of course, I’m simply saying that it’s possible. I also acknowledged that this differs for some people; I know I’m a single data point and my experience is my own.

I would contend that vegetarians being deficient still doesn’t say that the diet overall has to be deficient. It is also not uncommon or rare for vegetarians or vegans to be very healthy, so I know I’m not a special case.

Most people, regardless of their choice of diet, are going to be deficient in something. For people who eat meat in North America, a serious and common deficiency is simply fibre. It’s much less likely to be true among vegetarians, but in both cases it doesn’t need to be true.

My point is that with a monitored and balanced diet, eating plant-based is not inherently deficient in anything besides B12. I know some people have difficult experiences with plant-based diets, and I suspect it’s either due to gut issues or unbalanced/non-diverse eating tendencies.

Yep. In fact, less developers are using GTK (and migrating their projects to Qt[0]), and less users are using GNOME, over time due to its self-imposed limitations. KDE usage, in what metrics I've seen, is somewhere at parity with GNOME for DE market share and growing while GNOME is declining, which is telling given that KDE is not the default DE in major distros.
