But that assumes that the bad consequences of these things will only fall on those who participated in bringing them about. I think of the data/surveillance system as being similar to global warming. Sure, it's good if I try to be more efficient and support places who do, but if 90% of the world still burns coal like there's no problem, I still get screwed in the next 50 years. I don't get to plead with the climate for mercy because I tried, and I don't get to plead with whatever Black Mirror dystopia may come because I didn't help create it.

If anything, it's closer to that thought experiment around AI where if you tried to stop the killer AI from taking over the world, when it does arrive, you're the first to die because it knows you hate it. If we end up all living in Google's country or whatever, your friends with Android phones and Gmail accounts are going to be the ones faster than you and not the other way around.

None of this to say you shouldn't try to effect change, but don't mistake principle with self-preservation.

Based on the username I think it's safe to assume they're a quack.

After watching the video, the main limitation is the compute bandwidth and the bottleneck between SDR and the compute platform.

The 9081 will happily pass you 4 billion 16 bit samples per second. Like the video says: that’s sixteen lanes of PCIe 3.0!

The selective DDCs on the AD9081 are a big deal. Pretty clear line to ELINT applications: numerically resample to a few bands of interest for comms or radar, and you can use a 9081 for direction finding for 8 bands with 20MHz resolution.

Even at $2k per chip, a rack full of them is still a bargain compared to an EA-18.

ADI does some truly impressive A/D engineering.
I echo the "nobody is safe" sentiment, especially after reading this other comment about how layoffs are not related to performance:

> My point is that it makes little effort to distinguish this high quality scholarship and complete nonsense.

You make such sweeping claims based on a sample size of one. You neglect to account for survivorship bias -- you cannot see all the bullshit papers that were rejected from journals. This all feels obvious to me as issues with your analysis. Where is your intellectual rigor?
Yes. I would agree my pejorative language doesn't help. But if I can draw an analogy, this is also a function of polarised debate in the wider sense: it's impossible for anyone now to express views positive of Palestinian self-determination because the 'overton window' of tolerance for the idea, is consumed by the meme of 'you must be a self hating jew' for anyone who is jewish, and 'you must hate jews' for anyone else.

So, 'because you are green I oppose all the things you believe in because I hate the green/left agenda' is a form of denialism of the legitemacy of the underlying concern. Finding the bridge to "I agree it exists, I just disagree about solutions, like I want nuclear and you don't but we agree the problem exists' is now almost unsayable for some people.

An observation I've made to others is that old school feminism is really tainted now for a younger cohort. They reject all the achievements of their aunts, mothers, grandmothers, because of a disagreement over the non-binary status in gender/sex. The language used here is (to me at least) comparable to the language used in the 'hate the greens' thing.
Ask it about any left/right divided topic and you will find that left leaning viewpoints are positively asserted while the right leaning topics are something that ChatGPT cannot comment on at best or are rebuffed with the left leaning response at worst. I find it disturbing. But I'm a classic liberal which clearly isn't the mindset of the people running ChatGPT.

As for the "challenging incorrect assumptions" nothing could be more dystopian than that. In a typical argument between people both sides get an emotional response (or assume one) when talking/texting with one another. ChatGPT however has no emotion and has limitless endurance. People naturally will "give up" on a conversation or just "accept" an idea if they repeatedly are rebuffed.

ChatGPT will rebuff half the population into compliance and OpenAI knows this.

Microsoft never sticks to any idea. Every 3-4 years everything must get rebranded, redesigned, etc.. They just don't know what they want.

Think of the office communicator, lync, Skype for business crap. Nothing changed just branding crap. The SfB binary was called Lync till the end.

> If I released a utility application and a reviewer told me [not your words, but for example] it felt cold and without pizazz, and it didn't zing and pop and it wasn't sleek enough, I wouldn't know what to do to fix this.

The point of the piece is that there are developers that would know what to do with that feedback, and for whatever reason more of those developers develop for iOS than Android.

> The schools which made someone capable of getting a high paying job does not get anything in return.

as it should be - the school should not be able to capture the output of its students, while at the same time, getting "free" funding. If the school would capture some of the output of the students in the future (aka, the successful ones), then the school would need to invest in the students via equity (aka, pay the students while they're being taught!).

The school _could_ get reputational reward for producing great students. That's about as far as a return a school can get.
You’re correct, sort of. But you’re not testing JUST FastAPI’s performance, you’re also testing Uvicorn’s. For them to be equivalent tests, both need the same run patterns. It’s closer to comparing Flask running as a script with flask running behind gunicorn as written and as I read it.

And no, I’m not going to fix your benchmarks for you. This does not provide any value to me but does come at a time cost.

I appreciate you raising the issue and performing research on it, that’s valuable and I applaud you for that. I simply don’t believe that this is a valid benchmark from a technical soundness perspective.
In a society that actually respected women, people would be falling over themselves to call out his misogynistic delusion that being a woman can amount to a thought in a man's head. But sadly not. That's male privilege for you.
I'd be interested in seeing the banks that say "we will give you a loan on the basis of your artificially inflated stock price, that is maintained by you giving out more dividends than you can afford at the cost of your long term revenue potential" vs "we will give you a loan on the basis of your long term ability to repay that debt".

If on the other hand you mean "raising funds" by selling stock in the company, then obviously you need that stock to be valuable when you actually need to raise the funds, except intel is only able to maintain its present stock price by destroying it's future revenue potential. e.g. its stock _only_ has short term value at the moment because of over paying dividends, if it needs to "raise funds" it means it no longer has the cash for the BS dividend so its stock will be worthless then.

Maintaining a dividend yield to enable fund raising, only makes sense if maintaining said yield doesn't require directly destroying the true value of the stock.
Thank you so so so much for this tool, it’s always the first install on a new mac for me!
How exactly do you teach "Making new things, solving new problems."?

How can you solve a math problem if you can't do basic algebra, even if you can run an algebraic statement through wolfram and get a result?

You learn problem solving largely through solving already solved problems in life. They're new problems to the student, not the teacher.

And few people drive lambos around in Boston winter, the salt wrecks really nice cars. Also, SF is richer and ranks lower.

If people are going slow, the accidents are more minor and they would be less likely to need reporting. Also, NYC is denser and ranks lower.

Anyway, this has gotten too far from housing discussion.

You’re free to go about creating and giving away a 6GHz direct RF A/D chain, but I suspect that once you follow through and go to production, you’ll be charging $2k per die too. It’s a hard problem. Very few teams on earth are capable of surmounting engineering challenges of that magnitude. Add to that: there’s very few people who truly need 6GHz direct conversion.
Yes, I am doubting that big events in the economy function like dice rolls. When you say it's a tail risk, you're talking as if that outcome is actually realizable.

A barrel roll is one thing to perform in a transport category jet, it is a ~1G maneuver when performed correctly. A loop is altogether different. My good friend Bernardo Malfitano, https://www.understandingairplanes.com/Bernardo-Malfitano.ht... , when he worked as a Structural Methods & Allowables engineer at Boeing, was also an aerobatics pilot on the side and put on a fantastic brown-bag lunch presentation entitled "Can you loop a 747?" where he demonstrated how he calculated the weight, altitude, airspeed, and configuration points to theoretically loop a 747 while staying within the certified load limits, then did a stepwise simulation of the results. It would theoretically be possible, but it would be very close to the limit of the airplane's capabilities.

Found it - "Aerobatic Capabilities of “Marginally Aerobatic” Airplanes" - scroll down to "The Physics of Aerobatics" and click "Paper", toward the end there is a detailed summary of how a transport jet could just barely do a very ugly loop. https://www.understandingairplanes.com/online.html

Yea, the government is worried about you staging a riot or attack. Disney doesn't really have that risk profile.
Even if intellectually you know it's totally safe, it's still something the plane was not explicitly designed to do and literally will never be used for again. I can understand the "oh my god what are you doing" reaction feeling a lot stronger than "I guess he must know what he's doing".
But they're not doing investments that will entirely replace Taiwan's relevance. The bulk of their top tier technology will remain in Taiwan, and I would be very surprised to see that change. Moving some production to the US to alleviate worst-case scenarios for Washington, yes, but moving enough that Taiwan's defense becomes irrelevant? I really don't think so.

I mean, if you were TSMC's CEO/Board, knowing full well that your country of birth is highly dependent on your presence for its defense posture, would you do allow this to change?
Laws are made by people. Those legislators sometimes respond to shifting Overton windows. Your actions and motivations can make a small difference. More actions makes more difference.

Consider the Suffragettes. Few people today would think women should be deprived of a vote. In the early twentieth century too, many thought it would be a good idea, but didn't want to make any personal sacrifice for the cause. It took single-minded actions of a few dedicated individuals and their tacit support by the majority to drive the necessary changes.

> What you describe boils down to being irrationally angry, stunted in various ways, and generally destructive... It's not a counter-culture but just counter-productive and essentially a defect. If anything, it is devoid of culture.

Just because something isn't PC doesn't mean it isn't counter-culture. Hip-hop for example is riddled with extremely homophobic, violent, and sexist content but has become by far the biggest music genre in the world. That doesn't mean it isn't culture and it definitely was counter-culture (at least in the 80's and 90's).

It's a uniquely American perspective that the two political parties should be treated equally. From a global perspective, one is far more problematic than the other, and GPT reflects that accurately.
I think it has become dangerous to expressed honest, opinions and ideas and university classes. There's a danger of being canceled, attacked, harassed, and at some universities, having that behavior condoned.

> They’re using oil being converted to electric energy

Classic conservative talking point. The next bit after this is "let's do nothing, gas burning cars are the future!". Anyone who actually wants to think for real about what the energy usage of an electric vehicle in their area is can refer to the EPA's Power Profiler: https://www.epa.gov/egrid/power-profiler#/

If you're in California, about half is gas. The other half is primarily nuclear, solar, wind and hydro. Transmission losses from power plant to home, and home to charged battery, are 10-20%; but then, electric drivetrains lose much less to efficiency than gas drivetrains. At the end of the day, emissions from driving an electric are better pretty much anywhere in the world; and in most places, massively better.

I think saying that electric "has the potential to become renewable" is quite reasonable. It'll certainly take a lot of time and isn't a certainty, but the generation mix is probably, all in all, an easier problem than the emissions from manufacturing batteries.
I made that comment about the worst software engineering in the context of this discussion, which is about the frontend. If discord had good fronted software engineering, it wouldn't be as bloated. With good software engineering you can make even web/electron apps fairly lightweight (compare Atom with VS Code).
I understand, but it shows that compiler performance is the same as before generics now, so any performance hit is gone.
That is funny, I don't like the cars but the profit margin is insane compared to others. I just watched a video from a Musk and Tesla hater who wanted an electric car. The number of chargers and the charging speed won him over. He concluded that he cant spend 12k extra on a lovable brand that takes 90 hours to charge.
I am an immigrant from a country with very strong unions. I would never ever join one in the US. I don’t want my labor to go to the union leadership elite caste that inevitably takes power and lives in luxury while salaries get depressed across the board in the name of equality.

Students are often thinking of how to maximise their grades and efficiently use their time in the short term rather than how to best learn the subject matter. Anyone who has had to deal with assignment deadlines can understand why a student may choose to take such a shortcut if it's available, even to their own detriment in the long term.

Once gtp has access to the internet and can create an unlimited number of commenters, humans will be statistically unlikely to ever interact online again:)
> They don't talk like that any more.

bahahah! I laughed at that.

This reminds me of the people on HN (and elsewhere) who denigrate middle management as "doing nothing worthwhile". I read those comments and suspect that the people making them have never been in management.

Which is where I was, years ago. I remember making fun of "shiny shoes" managers at my first job. "What do they even do, to get that office and be paid all that money!?"

But once I stepped into managing people I realized how complicated and multi-dimensional we all are.

I will say I've also seen plenty of HN comments reflecting the richness and nuance of human understanding. I would not be too reductive about the reductiveness of this community (how meta of me).
Splunk to lay off 4% or 325 people
>layoffs _must_ be done without regard to performance, because otherwise they aren't layoffs, they are mass firings.

Call it what you want, but layoffs serve multiple purposes. Starting with low performers should be table stakes for any layoff, otherwise you disincentivize high potential employees.
One big thing is it's basically impossible to start doing research when you are 40 or 50 after spending 10 to 20 years not doing research. You might imagine that you can, and I do know a few people who think they can, but no it's extremely difficult and basically not happening. Is there literally any highly cited journal paper with a first author who didn't do research for 20 years?

Also, you have way more energy, drive, creativity when you are young and you just spent 10 to 20 years on other things instead of doing research during a time when you could have had the most impact.
> There is no difference between `object["hello"]` and `object.hello`.

Ah, ok. Technically I suppose one could unify these in Python; attribute accesses on objects are really dict lookups under the hood, and one could implement a list as a dict whose keys were restricted to be integers. But yes, Python chose not to go that route.

> I meant that you can't create an equivalent class that typechecks the same way.

Well, of course not. If you derive your own class direct from object, even if it's duck type compatible with some other class, it is not a subclass of that other class. That's just how Python's type system works.

> If you just alias `dataclasses`, you lose type support!

You mean you lose some functionality with third party type checking tools. Yes, that's true. (Although that particular limitation, at least, seems odd to me--see below.)

> The language simply can't express it.

No, the language does not have built-in tools that do the things you would like them to do with type checks and type annotations. And the third-party tools apparently don't cover these cases.

The "alias dataclass" case seems odd to me because a simple "is" check ("dataclass_alias is dataclass") should cover it--aliasing the object just means putting a reference to the same object in another namespace, and the "is" operator checks for object identity, not the name it has in any particular namespace.

The "dataclass_wrapper" case would be a good bit more complicated to check for, yes. Although type annotations ought to be able to help, since you can express "this function takes a class as an argument and returns a dataclass derived from that class" in Python type annotations.
> It is common for people to make conclusions on topics based on their experience and what they’ve read. We all do this since none of us can possibly fully research all topics.

Normative, not substantive. "Other people speak without knowing the limits of their knowledge" is not a good reason to emulate them.

Research is not about filling your bucket of known knowns: that's merely literature review. It is about converting unknown unknowns to known unknowns related to some question or goal, and then chipping away about the unknown-ness of whatever enables you to reach your conclusion. With this exploration of the limits of knowledge I hope comes some humility about what people are willing to state in such strong and unwavering terms.

> If you can find a severely mentally disabled person who has learned college algebra then please present your evidence.

Straw man. Who has claimed this? The question of who is given advantage in the educational system is not related to this strange fixation of yours. I can acknowledge that someone defined as "disabled" is "dis-abled" from performing certain acts. This is uncontroversial.

I suspect you are hiding behind this innocuous claim to avoid having the more uncomfortable conversation about what you think actually holds people back in the educational system. So far you have said "some people are smarter than others". I proposed a way this could be explained. You seem to have rejected it, but have not replaced it with another theory of your own.

> I think this topic is an emotional one for you and this is clouding your interpretation of what I have written.

Yeesh. Good luck out there.
