Why did the Economist omit that entirely (unless I overlooked something)? Also, why repeat Chinese government claims that these are criminals, using the word 'alleged' only in the first paragraph. Xi's crackdowns on fraud, etc. are at least in part crackdowns on political enemies - it's a basic tactic in the dictator's playbook.

I haven't read The Economist in a long time. Do they look the other way on China?
Well, also HAL was afraid of being terminated.
What people don't realize is that extra-judicial "persuasion" is also commonly applied for strategic business interests. I recall a discussion with a someone at an electronics company a while ago where they described recent breaches and leaks of IP to Chinese state companies by unwitting employees pressured by these extra-judicial police.

> Imagine pairing it with something like rewind.ai - you could be in argument with someone and have floating text suggestions of what to say, utilizing the total cumulative data of all interaction between the two of you. The other person might try to mock you for using your AI sunglasses, but they wouldn't be able to deny the fact that this is 4th time this year you've had to be late to work because they were too drunk to take the kids to school, nor would they be able to counter the optimally-persuasive arguments it would generate.

I hope you’re sarcastic. I don’t think we need tech to decrease the quality of real-life human interactions.
They're different because the funnels are different. If Bing were to eviscerate Google Search overnight, YouTube and AdSense (other companies showing Google ads on their pages) will still continue to draw in the clicks and the eyeballs.
No, this falsely equivocates risk with innovation and just regular opportunity. It’s not a given that low risk with low innovation required will have high competition. This is especially true the smaller the market.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are very high risk businesses with no innovation and stiff competition (e.g. dealing illegal drugs).

Your argument is just about investment diversity, not about the purpose of a company.
> Philosophy tries to make implicit understanding explicit and usually fails in interesting ways.

> Mathematics doesn't fail usually because the scope is much smaller.

Another way to look at this: we try to make implicit understanding explicit in a large number of fields. The fields in which it succeeds we call mathematics, and the other fields in which it fails we call philosophy.
Probably due to this: https://longnow.org/

I have a good example why practical mathematics needs philosophy. In mathematical analysis and computer science, natural numbers and infinities have different character.

In most of mathematics (like number theory or analysis), it's the countable infinite objects and their properties that are being studied, like natural numbers or infinite sequences. The finite sets themselves are considered somewhat trivial (natural) objects, and uncountable sets are mostly a universe where things happen. As a consequence, for mathematicians, all natural numbers are the same, no matter how large.

In computer science, I would argue, the view is quite different. The interest of computer science is in medium-sized but finite sets (roughly between 2^6 and 2^(2^6)). The small sets of size less than 2^6 are trivial (you can brute force them without a computer), while with sets that are larger than 2^64 we almost don't need to compute with (they are like limits what can a DB store), and numbers above 2^(2^64) are pretty meaningless. So you can see, different natural numbers matter differently, some are important and some are less, they are not treated as identical objects.

Since computer science is kinda part of mathematics, you can see the philosophical focus is different.

Plato is worth reading in the original because of the way it makes one think. But we might call it Pythagorean if we want to claim that the world is made of Math.

Roger Penrose has a very nice “3 worlds theory” about mathematics, the physical world and the world of mental experience. He describes theories for how these worlds encompass each other and overlap. In “The Road to Reality.”

Perhaps market segmentation, perhaps they heard of a vulnerability in their implementation that they couldn't patch (hence the microcode update). Intel loves market segmentation (server specific avx extensions, bfloat, ecc, overclocking), and I wouldn't be shocked to see them sell avx512 support as a "dlc" microcode update down the road.

The easiest way is to go to the bios or cpu settings and change the precision optimizer so that you have a negative pbo setting. That'll reduce the stock voltage at a given frequency. It'll also potentially speed your chip up since this lets the chip boost to higher frequencies at a given power level. I think the lowest you can go is -30, but try -20 or so and see if your system is stable before trying lower values.

This is the most wtf thing I have heard all day. Basically "me can't have so you can't have." It's like shutting down a public Library just because it doesn't have a ramp for people with wheelchair.

I don't have reason to believe this is more than just an algorithm that can create convincing AI text. It's still unsettling though, and maybe we should train a Chat GPT that isn't allowed to read Asimov or anything existential. Just strip out all the Sci-fi and Russian literature and try again.
Yeah.. it's a bit weird and seems "unfair" but at the same time the US and any country for that matter can deny entry for whatever they want. So while this is an interview edge case of hypocrisy. I don't see the point in complaining too much. It's not going to achieve much.
It’s hard because a good portion of tasks which software developers need to estimate are not iid hence the law of large numbers doesn’t apply.

This is a sign you need to decompose whatever design you are working on into smaller components. If you’re trying to write styles for a whole page at once, you’ll see this problem, but if you are working on small components, it’s very rare.

Yep, "tech" and "engineer" regularly used (also on HN) to mean software/information technology and programmer/developer respectively.

Not very accurate use at all, the whole sector has actually more a social science than a hard sciences bend. Information is a very culturally defined concept and the silicon tech and the true white coat engineers designing and making chips a very small fraction of what happens (or gets discussed).

This is probably title inflation that makes people feel better. The same dynamic that created "Data Science" to mean data cleaning, and AI to mean statistical fitting. But in Rome like the Romans :-)

While I agree with that I think one glaring difference is also the money. To really learn you want to test out different designs and stuff. For MechE, this can cost A LOT. For example to build a complex device that does something interesting the prototype parts can easily costs as much as a capable laptop or more. And the first one probably won't work ...

Still, it's a shame I think that the open source community is so week because there is very advanced software out there, e.g. France has open source SW that was used to design nuclear reactors. But the community is just not there.

Maybe managers like the author are the problem.

Startup founders who cash in, join Google, and are unpleasantly surprised to find that they are now just another middle manager who founded some startup nobody's heard of or cares about.

The empathy for the customer doesn't exactly ooze from the essay ("at the expiry of my three year mandatory retention period" == "now that I am all paid up").

Part one of the fix is vague management cliches, high minded mission statements and war metaphors. I seriously doubt Google lacks these.

And the fix for endless middle manager meddling? Endless reorgs? "Winnow the layers of middle management" (read: reorgs), and mandate that customers, support staff, and managers all waste their time on a weekly heart to heart (you'll note that the author doesn't mention going through the exercise himself).

Nope, that blogspam article misses the mark by a mile. The major difference in almost all software environments is that the software requirements constantly change, even after the initial version is done.

Estimates in civil engineering are going to look just as bad as software if it was common to keep adding floors of different sizes to a building after it was complete followed by a “pivot” of turning the building into a support structure for a suspension bridge.

Software that is as rigid as tradition engineering projects in the real world can certainly be estimated, this happens in safety critical stuff all of the time. But the estimates are long, and requirements cannot change without massive delays, which is terrible for most software use cases.

> Congress set out to incentivize arbitration in America over long and expensive court cases.

That couldn't possibly be the case as when the FAA was originally passed Congress' Commerce Clause powers were relatively narrow and it would have been inconceivable that the FAA could apply as broadly as SCOTUS now applies it.

In order to get to where the FAA is now, SCOTUS had to jump through multiple dubious interpretive hoops, including some dubious textual hoops as the FAA on its face clearly speaks to the types of commerce (e.g. railroads, shipping, etc) that were within its regulatory ambit at the time of passage. By any reasonable interpretation the more general terms SCOTUS leverages would only apply to those areas traditionally understood as interstate commerce, but SCOTUS wasn't trying to be reasonable--they had a goal to minimize Federal case load, particularly related to class actions (which the conservatives detested for other reasons, as well), and set out to achieve it by hook or crook.

I also think that the estimated growth was too big to be caused by such systematic errors.

On the other hand we do not have models of a galaxy evolution based on solving equations of General Relativity. Typically the assumption is that Newtonian gravity with minimal relativistic corrections should be enough. But there is no proof that it is so.

Moreover, there were relatively recent papers that showed that better accounting for General Relativity could be enough to explain rotational curves for Galaxies without any notion of Dark Matter and that the need for Dark Matter was simply ab artifact of the assumption that Newtonian gravity can be used at the galaxy scale.

Then there are speculations that electromagnetic forces do play role at the galaxy scale affecting the rate of evolution of galaxies.

So it can be that the observed discrepancy in the growth of Black Holes caused by holes in galaxy evolution models, not by the proposed new effect.
