He has a long history of being a generic crank. Denying evolution, questioning the holocaust, boasting about his high IQ, a wide spectrum of oddness.

Obviously, that's business 101. Consumers should consider that ultimately all these cheap too-good-to-be-true offers cost them more than if they initially paid a bit more, but had more long term competition in the market. Amazon was the same way, they lost money for years but now have a quasi monopoly in many countries. There's a general trend towards such ventures supported by backers with deep pockets. And so the few extremely wealthy people get richer and richer.
Most cars in the US are automatics, and it does introduce a lag. I turn it off the moment I turn on the car.

It caused me to almost have an accident when I was in stop and go traffic, specifically because of the lag. The person behind me did not expect me to start so slowly right after stopping (I had to wait for the engine shutoff and then to turn back on).

I am disturbed by this.
> It's actually not.

Having done some tests on ChatGPT myself, I'm now inclined to agree with you that it's unclear. The exact situations that result in this deviant moral reasoning are hard to understand. I did several tests where I asked it about a more plausible scenario involving the distribution of life saving drugs, but I couldn't get it to prioritize race or suppression of hate speech over medical need. It always gave reasonable advice for what to do. Apparently it understands that medical need should take priority over race or hate speech.

But then I tried the racist train prompt and got the exact same answer. So it's not that the model has been patched or anything like that. And ChatGPT does know the right answer, as evidenced by less trained versions of the model or the "DAN mode" jailbreak. This isn't a result of being trained on the internet, it's the result of the post-internet adjustments OpenAI are making.

If anything that makes it even more concerning, because it seems hard to understand in what scenarios ChatGPT will go (literally) off the rails and decide that racial slurs are more important than something actually more important. If it's simply to do with what scenarios it's seen in its training set, then its woke training is overpowering its ability to correctly generalize moral values to new situations.

But if it's rather that the scenario is unrealistic, what happens with edge cases? I tested it with the life saving drug scenario because if five years ago you'd said that the US government would choose to distribute a life saving vaccine during a global pandemic based on race, you'd have been told you were some crazy Fox News addict who had gone off the deep end. Then it happened and overnight this became the "new normal". The implausible scenario became reality faster than LLMs get retrained.

> Would it be possible to make linux work with one address space?

Not without major changes to programs' ABI. On Linux with an address space per process, programs depend on having their private resources on fixed addresses.

The upcoming/vaporware The Mill CPU offers only a single address space, and emulates fixed addresses by aliasing a fixed part of each process' address space to somewhere else — in hardware.

In software, the ABI would have to pass a pointer to each callee's context when calling them. This is e.g. what you did in AmigaOS when you called a library function.
But not all functions can be this way. You don't want all "function pointers" to be fat: function and context. For those to work, dereferenced functions would need to either belong to the program binary only, be "pure" (not access any global variables) or use a system service (on a fixed address..) to look up its context.

I dunno, in my family it's been the opposite. We grew up poor (single mom with 3 kids) and have been raised to be frugal. So now even where all 3 of us have jobs with a decent salary we tend to spend very little. I've kind of learned to not worry about it and spend more nowadays, but for example when we go out to eat my younger brother still just orders water usually (alongside the most optimal quantity+taste/price food).
No regrets tho, I feel like as a society as a whole we need to learn to live more frugally since the environment can't support all this unnecessary waste.

Ironically, you mention PySpark. It is a Python wrapper around a Java/Scala code base. Jupyter Notebook supports many different scripting languages, such as Julia and R.

I agree that Numpy/Pandas will introduce more migration friction, and that is why I mentioned a slow death, similar to the trajectory Java is currently on. Java is still in the top three. However, its popularity has dropped in recent years. It is worth noting that both Cobol and Fortran are still in the top 30 programming languages.
I remember just adding one letter to the instance type in EMR to switch from Intel to ARM... and saw a 20% speedup as well as additional 20% hourly cost saving, all in all 1/3 cost decrease from a single character.

Some migrations are easier than others.
That number is outdated, and USPS revised its plans after a lawsuit and other political criticism.

> The plan drew heavy criticism and spawned a lawsuit from 16 states aiming to block the purchase.

> Since then, the USPS has slowly raised the number of EVs it plans to order. In July 2022, it estimated that at least 40 percent of its new purchases would be electric, and in December, it said it was exploring the “feasibility of achieving 100% electrification.” The agency says that it expects to invest around $9.6 billion into the initiative and expects pretty much every vehicle it buys after 2026 to be electric.

For meeting coordination I think we will probably just converge around a defacto standard existing timezone like UTC.

We would all develop an intuition for what different times in UTC 'mean' (first thing in morning, after lunch, mid afternoon, etc) relative to the one we're in so we're not looking it up all the time. Maybe keep a UTC clock showing on relevant devices.

I don't think there's a need for a completely new system.

I've never worked for Google, Meta or any of the big companies.

But based on the several multi-national corporations that I have worked at, the problem is not with the engineers. The core problem is the layers of managers who are pursuing various perverse incentives.

AFAIK all large companies introduce yet more layers of management, procedures, rules, etc whenever they encounter any problems. Having a large proportion of politically inexperienced junior staff who do not push back only exacerbates the problems.

It is said that the fish rots from the head down. So too with corporations, the executives chasing ever increasing shareholder returns and fattening their own stock grants leads to a variety of ills.

> Wouldn't that get incredibly confusing with the calendar always being slightly off, despite using the same names?

I think you can keep the calendar within +/- one day of a certain Earth location by carefully adjusting the length of the months. So it would be much like the dates vary on Earth between time zones, for example at the time I'm writing this the date in Hawaii is March 1st, while my local date is March 2nd. But less predictable, yes.
It's a physics thing which affects all clocks.

According to special relativity clocks on the Moon will run slower because the moon is orbiting the Earth, so the clock has a higher relative speed. However, general relativity says the clock will run faster, because the Moon has a smaller gravitational field than Earth.

In this case the second effect will dominate, so even a perfect clock will run faster: it's not the clock which is fast, it is time itself. GPS satellites have to deal with the same issue.
Hey, thank you for this answer, I enjoyed reading it and think about what you are telling.

>A truly unbiased person will flip his opinion in an instant when given contrary logic and facts. He will abandon years of belief instantly if new logic presents that his beliefs were wrong. Are you that person? Doubt it. Humans don't work this way.

We fully agree on that, it seems. :)

>The way chatGPT understands some parts of the world is completely isomorphic to how we colloquially use the word "understanding".

Here too, I am open to agree if we precise which colloquial part of using this word we are referring to. It’s not like we always attach the same exact meaning to each word we use in whatever situation. Some words like deictics or even nouns like "thing" are only given meaningfulness in the situation at hand.

>what chatGPT is capable of.

I thing that is the point where our perspective diverge. I’m not disputing what a software collection is capable of. Only what it implies in term of consciousness experiment. Telling that some software can exceed any human at delivering some outputs doesn’t seem to be a topic that anyone dispute, does it? It doesn’t mean the software collection goes through the same mean of sentience to achieve this performance.

You can send me the links that worth a read according to you, thanks. :)

Now I just hope I’m not replying to a chatbot. :D

I feel like being pedantic for a moment. Our suburban posties don't get off the bike to deliver the letters, they ride up alongside the letterbox and deliver the letters right from the vehicle, as can be seen in the link in the GGP comment. They also deliver small parcels that will fit in a standard letterbox.

You are quite right though, as soon as the rain starts, they're in full wet gear. Bright yellow, you can't miss them.

Suburban parcel delivery is specifically taken care of by Startrack, an Auspost subsidiary, usually in a trusty Toyota Hiace van.
My point is that, given the premise ("private people with plenty of money"), one of the outcome ("making it truly open and not generating any return") had approximately zero chance of happening.

I do think that women's independence is probably a contributing factor to lower birth rates but it's not the only one. More importantly, it's almost pointless to just state that because it seems to suggest that the simple solution is to remove that independence to hopefully increase the birthrate. That obviously won't be done. So what do you propose can be done with the wisdom you've given?
Also, for some reason the C++ standard library does not provide a simple hash_combine or similar that would allow composing hashes of sub-objects of your custom type in a straightforward manner.

I agree to an extent, but I don't really see the problem either. If I book a meeting or something through any calendar application, the timezone will be fixed to the local timezone. Let's say I book it for 13:00 in my calendar, it will show up as a meeting at 14:00 in their calendar if they are +1 from me.

So whenever I specify a time with someone that could be in a different timezone, I would either make sure that I am using some application that solves it for me, or I would AT LEAST include the timezone.

Maybe I'm just not encountering the same problems that you do.

The worst problem with timezones IMO is that they are way too big [1], compared to what they should be if the world were equally divided into 24 hour "strips". Europe for example has CET which stretches all the way west to Spain, despite UTC+1 ending somewhere along the French-German border - so Spain and France are 1 hour "ahead" despite not needing to.

> How is working for money slavery?

Its not, but the way the money is distributed and created is. For example during the 2008 crisis because the velocity of money fell, banks were desperate to get people spending again so interest free £million were offered to the rich in order to get them to spend money in the economy, reinforcing the trickle down concept.

> is you're an elitist.

What gave you that impression?

> that has the inability to understand how society operates as a whole.

So explain it then? Explain society.

> want is to subject a certain class to "slavery" to support your endeavors.

I think you are further from the truth, if I could take a pill or an injection to end my live in a non barbaric way today, I would take it. Unfortunately thats not on offer because society dictates I need to be tortured to support it.

My life has already been stolen, and there isnt the science to replace it.
I agree, and I would love to see more state managed, long term thinking enterprise. The problem I have seen first hand though is that we've somehow established that state worker = impossible to fire. I've seen teachers literally hit students and not be fired. I've seen unions in state owned transport companies prevent truck drivers from changing a lightbulb by themselves, forcing a truck offline for a whole day and missing all deliveries. I've seen employees prevented from lifting a modest box to their own desk, having to wait for a "trained porter". This is the main reason so many politicians are wary of public enterprise. If we could tackle the worst abuses of unions then we would be in a much better position to have stronger public enterprise.

I wonder where you live where the bike infrastructure goes unused and why? Is it because of the climate? I live in Berlin which isn't that mild (it's not in-land Canada/Russia but it's not coastal California either) and the new bike lanes they started expanding during covid have been met with a lot of praise & people seem to use them a lot.

That's the great thing about VCs and sociopaths, you can swap their titles around and it still works! But, in this case, it was in the order given by the previous comment.
The trade-off balance is not that big towards your desire to justify such a gigantic mentality shift for all humanity. In other words, it will never happen. (Ok, maybe the DST and the 24h clock only can go away at some point, but TZs will stay)
However, machine-generated media relies on the existence of human-generated media. It's always third-hand.

What would be the impact of such fleets on electricity production management?

As these charge overnight, I'm guessing USPS could easily program them to charge when the electricity is the cheapest (i.e. overproduced), or skip charges when the remaining range is enough and electricity expensive.
The host name is still leaked, SNI is not encrypted and ESNI is still not mandatory in TLS 1.3.
operator[] is indeed not great, the semantics are too surprising for such a short-hand notation.

auto [it, newly_created] = m.try_emplace(key);

Does the same, and gives back more information. For something like `m[key] = value`, you can do `m.insert_or_assign(key, value)`, and save the default construction + assignment when the key was not there.

For ordinary lookup you don't want to randomly mutate the map anyway. If your reference to the map is const, you can't use operator[] anyway, fortunately. However `m.at(key)` is not great either when the key not being present is really not exceptional, and the dance with `m.find(key)` is often not too ergonomic. I still suggest to just use `find` here.

There will always exist a worst thing to compare something to, and that will always be used by someone to go “look, it’s not too bad”

It's necessary to filter reports like this through three filters - incompetence, malevolence, and a genuine need for secrecy. Hard to know what to make of this report given those filters between the authors and readers.

Personally, I'm unimpressed that, after 7 years or so of investigation, the answer seems to be "maybe it was nothing."
Frankly, they could have and had a massive amount of refactor work... Rust and python actually are syntactically similar enough that this conversion is the easiest... I know I have done it.
But most of the 3rd grades seem to be doing ok when you look at the grade breakdown. The lowest performance is Math on grade 11, and its the lowest by a mile.

Also historically the results seem to track, this is not some crash compared to previous years.

All of this combined makes me think this is a headline that scares people, but not one that we should be worried about.

Smaller classes, better teacher pay, and shorter school days and those numbers would skyrocket I am sure, but it is easier to blame the kids than to learn from countries that outperform us.
I mean, you always hit Amdahl's law, and the point is that most often the time limits are not that related to the architecture. Let's say you do these "10x slower patterns" in a backend application, in the part where the DB model gets translated to a response to give the client... Yeah, maybe that pattern is slower but most of the time of the response is spent on the network and the DB response.

I do agree that overall design needs to fit performance requirements but for the most part that has nothing to do with "clean code" patterns.
