I think when you have a very-well-written bash script, it starts to get pretty close to python in size, but python wins in readability. A well written bash script will handle errors cleanly, will not die on quoting problems, and can use complex data structures or objects when data handling gets hairy.

When you use regexes, letting python use them directly seems to be much cleaner than quoting and passing them to awk/sed/grep or other text processing tools.

Additionally, python seems to have libraries to handle all kinds of input like json and csv.

One thing that python doesn't do as naturally as bash is invoke commands. For python I usually include some functions to run commands passed as a list, and check the return code or return the output. then 'cmd -f $arg1' becomes myrun('cmd','-f', arg1)
Maybe you're right that the US refuses to spend enough money to handle this, but other countries seem to do fine. I'm really impressed with the German Polizei, for example. Their cops are better trained, friendlier, and actually seem to want to help the community.

This reminds me of an art installation where the artist had filmed the outside of a Greenland village for one whole year and then compressed the footage so it would fit in roughly one hour. It is one thing to read about the Artic winter, and a very different one to see it take place day after day.

Reading some of the other comments, I’d like to suggest that it might be better to forgo the hour-year correspondence and adjust the simulation so that a whole run fits exactly in 24 hours.

I was responding to "LLMs need a set of axioms and formal logic to establish truthfulness of arbitrary statements."

I suggest watching a Kevin Anderson lecture, basically, the 1.5C and 2C come from the political world, scientists then create research around that to get published, get their research into IPCC reports, etc. It is a farce and purely a political one. They are obsessed with "good news" and "hope".

The assumptions for how 1.5C is "possible" amount to futurism.

The goalposts keep moving too - once it was a 66% chance of staying under 2C, now it's common to talk about exceeding 2C and lowering the temperature later, which is about as plausible as running a car into reverse while the gas pedal is down.

It's a bit different that the bond holders get wiped out BEFORE the stock holders. I could be wrong, but I don't think the term specifically speaks about this. It does say "They note that at1 bond buyers have waived any right to reimbursement in a “write-down event”.", but is it before or after stock holders are wiped out? It leaves a lot of interpretation possibilities IMHO.

The argument you linked is ignoring the fact that when you provide a bank with dollars (M1 bailout cash), it is lent out by the banks and creates a much bigger sum of M2 money (bonds, liquid assets) because of fractional reserves.

Any bailout that is large enough, and isn't done in tandem with major deflationary events, would certainly impact inflation.

I think 2008 was spectacularly smooth with respect to inflation/deflation because they allowed enough banks to fail.

As someone currently doing a PhD, it really isn't that common to see 6 figure student debt. 5 figure yes but that has a range of 10k-99k. Most other students I've spoken to are around 10-30 so I'm not sure where OP is getting their numbers from

C++ vs. Rust is a tricky question. C++ is easier to write in, but it's harder to get programs working in it. Rust is harder to write, but it's much more likely that your first execution is going to do something useful. But they're of comparable complexity.
Is it a gigantic housing bubble?

Prices clearly peaked, and the YoY price increase in some places had gotten a bit silly. But don't a lot of cities still just have a lot less housing than they should because of decades of not building enough? And even the decline in prices is mostly about the higher mortgage rates?
I'm sure this is true for some people, but I found in Go their "Don't Be Clever" just drove me nuts. There's a thin layer where it's fine, and then once you get beyond that your options are Be Clever (Nope, Go tells you not to even try) or Give Up, I gave up.

Whereas in Rust I was able to keep going. Sometimes, when I dug down I reached something truly enlightening like the implementation of core::mem::drop -- pub fn drop<T>(_x: T) { }

[ Yes I said implementation, that's not a typo, that's the actual implementation. ]

Sometimes, it's all fucking turtles, e.g. Aria's famous "Pre-pooping your pants" essay and her "Tower of Weakenings". There's bad news, but if you don't like that we also have more and different bad news.

And sometimes it was a voyage of discovery, but it was an interesting voyage, I learned much and I felt invigorated and encouraged. For example why C++ std::vector's reserve is not Rust's Vec::reserve but Vec::reserve_exact or why Rust's functions each have unique unnameable types, or how MaybeUninit actually works.
You obviously did not live under communist propaganda. Communism was 100% about the equality of outcome - everyone was equal and was supposed to get his/her equal share. I lived 15 years in Romania under communism, 8 of these years under daily propaganda at school so I know this first hand.
> I have no idea how it will slow down. Someone just figured out how to reduce the cost of building a multi million dollar model to around $600. That was supposed to take another decade.

I don't think this is accurate. The Stanford team used LLaMA as base model and added a smaller model on top of it - training the joint model using data (generated from ChatGPT) is what cost $600. Nobody trained a GPT-like model from scratch for $600 - this experiment took advantage of the millions of USD used to train the larger models.

It's hard to know how demographics compare with a secretive country like North Korea, but given the scale of population difference I'd wager that for every age band they have more people, and the munitions and provisions to supply them. NK could conscript its civilians, but with such low morale caused by hunger I'm not sure they would win a war of attrition. It doesn't even seem evident that NK are interested in engaging in a 'hot' war, nor could that even be in their interests.
Perhaps your understanding of English isn't native in which case I apologize but no, those two statements are not at all similar.
The problem is the duty cycle, not screen real estate - if you show a relative time, it needs to update frequently to remain accurate.

If it's 5:27 right now and the BART comes at 5:38, I need to update once per minute if I'm showing a "+11m" for that relative time to remain accurate. Since the display takes more than 30s to refresh and isn't readable while it's refreshing, that means it's useless > 50% of the time I try to glance at it.

Whereas with my current setup, I only update it once one of the BART arrival times is no longer in the future. So, right now it's showing arrivals at 6:23, 6:29, and 6:44. Which means the display will update at 6:23, 6:29, and 6:44. There's a little extra optimization added to only show BARTs that are at least 5min in the future, since the BART is a 5min drive from the location where the display is. Depending on the BART schedule, all this works out to roughly ~8min update cycle on average, meaning that the display is only unreadable due to refreshing about 6% of the time, which I find to be very acceptable.

The real reason is not this. The real reason is that in the past, religion meant that people saw earthly sacrifices as leading to redemption in the afterlife, which meant that having kids was a worthwhile sacrifice (as preached by the church). To this day, people that are more religious tend to have more kids, even when income-matched to non-religious groups.

The decline in religion & rise in secularization tends to map pretty well to lower fertility, and it happens to be correlated with rising wealth (which is why we confuse the two all of the time):

https://worksinprogress.co/issue/frances-baby-bust#:~:text=U....

Big benefits for having kids certainly helps, and you can have baby booms without strong religion (i.e. under Communism), but the perceived payoff has to be there for the parents to make the necessary sacrifices.
I wanted to like this article, but tbh it's buzzword bingo.
China is currently at around European level in CO2/capita (~8tons CO2/capita/year).

US is SIGNIFICANTLY worse by about a factor of two (~15tons CO2/capita/year).

"The west" has currently pretty much ZERO moral standing when pushing for more drastic anti-CO2 policies in China and especially developing nations like India or Africa. This is not taking "exported" emissions into account and considering cumulative emissions draws an even more dire picture.

"The ball is in China/India/Russias court, not much we can do now" is such blatant hypocrisy it still sickens me every time I encounter it. Please don't spread it.
If you're in the US, it's likely that you either don't drive by schools when they're letting out, or you live in a place that has the right combination of density and poor kids to limit the driver pick-ups. None of the 5 places across 4 states where I've lived in the last 10 years have avoided the pickup line phenomenon.

It's then plain that they didn't bother to understand what they were buying. From the article:

Credit Suisse’s debt-issuance documents seem to allow for stockholders coming out on top. They note that at1 bond buyers have waived any right to reimbursement in a “write-down event”. Yet the idea that stockholders may be left with something and coco holders with nothing is contrary to the understanding many buyers had about what they were purchasing: namely, a hybrid security somewhere between stocks and debt in the stack of capital.

That's a bad situation if retail investors were sold those contracts without careful explanation. Sophisticated investors can enjoy their cake.

The difference is VidAngel owned 1 copy for each concurrent live stream.

You can rip a movie or scan a book you own and share it with a million people at once. VidAngel wasn't doing that. Every stream was 1-to-1 with a real physical copy. If they had 1000 people streaming the movies at once, it meant they had 1000 physical copies as well.
Or, so long as revenue growth is increasing (first and second derivative being positive), companies are inclined to pour on as much fuel on as they think they can productively use.

Once the second derivative turns negative, they are naturally much less interested in keeping the gas turned all the way up, so they trim back on spend.
There is the idea of capitalism as a free trade between people to optimize towards a certain goal, there might be a future in that. And then there is the Capitalism of today that is entirely focused on the capital part - I don't think that will have long legs.

Yep. At least it’s better to have a number than nothing, even if it’s +-1 OOM. It’s pretty wild to imagine using up 500k years of fuel production in only a single year.

While googling around, found another interesting metric: ratio of proven reserves to production rate, ie how much longer can we sustain given current consumption and no new developments. That number has increased over the decades, and sits around ~50 years for both oil and nat gas and ~100+ years for coal.

The LA riots required nearly ten thousand federal troops to end. The alternative to reforming police brutality is ever escalating violence. Eventually law enforcement dissolves entirely as all cops become targets. This happened during the LA riots; cops just didnt come to work. The LA riots weren't only about Rodney king. Food deserts, targeting, and grinding inequality and poverty in Compton, universal, Inglewood, and other historically black cities had become unsustainable. They had no recourse.

No cop can solve poverty.

Cops don't prevent crime, and cops don't prevent drug addiction. These are features of american capitalism that have been made the sole purvey of an ever dwindling national police force. They are the department of last resort for a nation that thinks you can fight drugs like a war.
Sure but if you got in at, say, $80/share, you have to wait 10 years to get back to that , you'd need to get 8% return every year just to break even unless the sector has a serious bounce. Right now that doesn't seem likely, but whoo knows.

From TFA: at least some of CA's cops are well enough funded to waste taxpayer time and money assisting other states, rather than actually enforcing their own state's laws.

In the US you need to spend enough money to hire different people.

That said there are some really good cops too. But our judicial system often puts them in harms way for no great reason. There’s a guy on the street here who has been arrested about 75 times. He doesn’t care about cops at all — and I’m amazed at the patience cops have with him. Especially knowing he will be back on the street in a couple of days.

I used to fly on planes that had “fancy” controllers - they had lots of buttons (full QWERTY keyboard, ABXY and d-pad, special buttons for controlling the lights and calling the attendants, etc.) and slotted into a latched recess right below the IFE. Something like this: https://www.vecteezy.com/photo/11024929

There’s no analog stick and the ergonomics aren’t that great, but it’s definitely usable as a controller.
I’m sure that’s at least part of how they see it.
I get my shopping delivered. Costs me $2 on average, they drive it in a refrigerated small truck and often drop off several deliveries to the same building/street in one trip. And then for stuff I want right now, I just walk to the supermarket with one bag. Since I go out for a walk every day after work, I just head to the supermarket along the way which is about 700m away.
A place where this is relevant that hasn't been mentioned so far is in proxies using the ProxyWASM spec. Instead of loading random libraries into the main code of say, Envoy, you instead load it as a WASM module (so you must target WASI or wasm32-unknown) and all you're allowed to do is specify a set of pre-determined entry points for when traffic connects, sends headers, sends body, and on the return path responds with headers, then body and then disconnects. This means that you can do practically all the things you need to do in a pretty portable way, without breaking into the actual program.

Have you, ceo of wasmer, suggested worked on or seen efforts to make WebIDL an ABI for wasm to work across?

I think of webidl as a very abstract high level interface that browsers can use to generate some stubs, specific to their engines with. I feel like with wasm there ought be a stable ABI so modules can be interoperable across implementations. It's an interesting suggestion to imagine trying to extend WebIDL to fit the job.

As ceo of wasmer you must certainly be aware of at least some of the sundry low level details & duties that WIT has to perform. I feel like it's pretty likely we'll end up with some WebIDL to WIT generators or tooling that can help get the web platform wasm-sized. It is a bit self serving to go off & create a new thing, to serve wasm's use case first, but the low level abi Vs high level idl nature of WIT Vs WebIDL does seem like pretty different fundamental objectives, at least to me, but maybe & wouldn't it be great if we could have a simpler unified IDL like you suggest?

> Doesn't this go hand-in-hand with slowing AI research down and focusing more on safety engineering and best practices?

I don't see how this is given. It could very well be the opposite.

Consider self driving, for example.

Better object detection makes the system safer, full stop. It's on the AI safety folks to keep up with building good analyses for SoTA. Suspending all future improvements to object detection until we can better understand fault models of existing systems could very well make everyone less safe.

> but the current challenge is how to build the societal incentive structures to make that happen. Right now the overwhelming majority of prestige and money is in making AI more capable, not in safety engineering and best practices.

Slowing down doesn't address that problem at all. The answer here is regulation and accountability, which may or may not have the side-effect of slowing down deployments. But slowing down for the sake of slowing down is a non-solution unless you're a Philosophy major who watches too many movies.
