Ultimately it seems that is the case. However a 1D model of the world is much less useful than an N-D model of the world that is subsequently projected to 1D. Until we build architectures that allow for more "reason space" in the model, we will continue to see obvious blunders.

Would it be possible to create a Youtube client that only shows the interesting comments?

But what is interesting? To you and I, perhaps, it is an intellectually well thought out comment.

To YouTube, perhaps, it is what makes people engage emotion.
Good point. Having cpu cores that are optimised for efficiency is a nuce feature.
Let's be real, school is 95% about day care and training kids to be obedient worker drones. Education is tertiary at best, but talked about the most to help the parents and teachers feel good about the situation. I'm a state licensed middle school teacher who's taught 5th and 6th grade before walking away.

Modern educational curriculums have very little content for: critical thinking, logic, creativity, self-teaching, responsibility, civic responsibility, curiosity, compassion, self respect, and finding purpose. Instead of teaching how to use history to prevent making the same mistakes we make them memorize dates. Instead of teaching them to use writing as an emotional regulator and self therapy we teach them to read a paragraph quickly to answer a multiple choice question about it. Since standardized tests are easiest and cheapest to grade through a scantron, state tests emphasize facts and memorization.

The entire lecture and classroom school system 99% of us know teaches dependence over independence and blind obedience over critical thinking.

Sports are taught through a hyper-competitive lens, getting them ready for a possible professional sports career.

Totally agree. Ain't broke, don't fix it.
Love this, and agree 100%. The crazy thing is that I've seen such a situation of the video happen, but it was with a monolith.

"No, a junior can't add a filter to this column because the current system doesn't support filtering aggregates, so we have to partially rewrite it. No, we can't add this directly to the controller or model because there's no controllers or models anymore! Or more like: there's just one! Why? Because we wanted a future-proof system and decided to make a GraphQL simulacrum that allows adding new features without almost no cost! Sure, almost nobody understood it and sometimes it requires rewriting, but who wants to working on a fucking CRUD system?"
I lack the wherewithal to do anything more than to appreciate the sheer scope in the most general terms, but nostalgia is kicking in quite hard.

Yes, that seems to be a common theme: you have a hard time believing anything that doesn’t fit with your preconceived notions.

Again, connect React dev tools to Reddit yourself. Given that you’ve been given a concrete example of a slow website, I have a hard time believing you can even differentiate a performant website from a slow one.

Euler angles are what that leads to gimbal lock. Constructing a rotation matrix from them inherits this issue.
It works fine for me on very abstract stuff. Seems quite well generalized. Just wish they might release the CLIP encoder for it so you can prompt it with text prompts.
I have. We have an ebike that was £2200 brand new, and it was effectively a 100% tax deduction. And yes there are some restrictions around it but they are easy to work with. I have no comment about employers setting their own limits, that's just dumb.

Do you presume the homeless have become so due to their intrinsic criminal tendencies? If that's the case, any citizen has a legitimate objection against crime, so there is no solution to homelessness other than segregating them into some walled of, far away city.

The thing is that so much atrocities has been done under the banner of Christianity that it delutes the good people who seem honestly committed to the core value “love your neighbor”

Often that tenet is being absolutely debased by making it “love your neighbor, except if he is gay, trans, woke, liberal, communist, black, fill in the blank”

Jesus himself proclaimed “love god and love your neighbor” to be the core and heart of his teaching, yet instead you have people fighting over the stupidest things in the bible just to be “right”, creating tons of denominations that make no sense at all.

If Jesus values are just, they should be universal values. And his core teaching does echo tenets of reciprocation.
That's amazing and all, but it's also speculation, yes? It's how you imagine, or guess, that things are happening. It's not like you, or anyone else, knows that this kind of thing is really happening.

Moreover, there isn't any clear reason why you need to speculate all that, in order to explain the observed behaviour of Large Language Models (LLMs). You say you don't think LLMs "can perform this kind of translation by merely comparing tokens statistically tending to be near one another". And yet, that's what we know that LLMs do, because that's what they are made to do [edit: they do what you describe after the "by merely"]. Why do we need to imagine some other, so far unobserved, process at play? What is the motivation? What is the justification?

Why do you think LLM's can't "perform this kind of translation by merely comparing tokens statistically tending to be near one another".

It's clear what you are saying, but, why? Why are you saying that? Why should we assume that the well-known and understood design and functionality of LLMs is not enough to explain their behaviour?

Is it because we haven't observed such behaviour before and some people are surprised by it? Well, we didn't have as large language models before, so obviously we didn't have a chance to observe their behaviour first-hand, but we also didn't have cars that could go 100 miles an hour, until we did, and making a faster car is no reason to be surprised, or wonder "how does it do it if it's just a car?".
3 years of domestic solar stats in the UK
Slide rules are good for only around 3 significant digits, just a little more than most people’s mental math for multiplication. However, slide rules include scales for squares, cubes, trig, exponential, log functions and others.

All of these are inscribed as positions on logarithmic scales. In this manner, two scales can positioned to calculate products and quotients.

The scales, being logarithmic, are very compressed on one end, between 9 and 10 is only 5% of the scale while the interval between 1 and 2 occupies 30% of the scale (log 2 == 0.30, log 9 == 0.95).

If you can estimate measurements to a half millimeter on a precise ruler, on a one foot slide rule that corresponds to 508 divisions. Three significant digits requires 1000. With some careful interpolation while reading a slide rule it is sometimes possible to get 3 significant digits, especially in the range 1 to 2. It’s not possible to get 3 significant digits between 9 and 10.

Another limitation of slide rules is that there are no provisions for addition or subtraction. For this there were mechanical adding machines.

Notice too that all calculations are done with numbers in scientific notation. The scales start at 1 and end at 10. When calculating something like 447.8 * 1276, the slide rule is only able to calculate 4.48 * 1.28 for the user, and it gives a result like 5.73. The powers of ten have to be handled in one’s head. Furthermore, one has to understand trig well enough that having the sin only from 0 to 90 is good enough.

Because slide rules don’t give very precise answers, tables of logarithms were used for calculations requiring 4,5, or 6 digits of significance.

> *"The UK doesn't have a tax break for buying electric cars as regular people at home"

Not exactly true. Besides company car tax (BIK) benefits, electric vehicles are exempt from vehicle excise duty, which can save up to £4000 over the first 5 years of vehicle ownership. They are also exempt from congestion charges, low emission zone charges, etc, which can save thousands more. There's also no fuel duty on charging an EV, you only pay 5% VAT on electricity if charging at home, many local councils offer discounted parking and/or charging, and there is a grant available that pays 75% of the cost of installing a home charger.
David Reed's 1978 PhD thesis describes "pseudo-time," which is a precursor to the work Liskov and Lamport did.[0] (Reed calls his overall system he developed "NAMOS," with pseudo-time being the coordination mechanism.) In fact, the pseudo-time algorithm has some flaws which Liskov described in the mid-80s. I believe Lamport's PAXOS is a sort of pun on NAMOS.

Of course they could. Almost any country could.

Nonetheless, the cost to the constructor is such that without a military reason it doesn't make any sense to build one.

I expect North Korea will turn its attention to civilian nuclear power fairly soon now that the race to become a fully fledged nuclear power is complete. It would make economic sense to them given the industrial capacity, skills and resource base it has accumulated in the process of building the bomb. For most other countries? Not so much.

In the mid/late 70's I was using LSI-11 systems (PDP-11/03's) in college to collect measurements in labs. I too wanted an H11 when I got out of school and started earning those big engineering bucks, but if I recall a usable system was about one-third of my gross salary at the time.

A couple of years later I put together a CP/M H89 but it never gave me that "real computer" feeling.
#1 is a nice recommendation, but not trivial.

You've got three major systems for detecting policy violations: static analysis, dynamic analysis, and human interaction. You don't want too many false negatives or else you get bad media coverage complaining that you aren't doing enough to enforce policy. You don't want false positives or else you hurt benign users.

Static tooling will be able to detect specific kinds of ways that an app might refuse to work if you don't have a permission, but will struggle mightily in general. Dynamic analysis needs to be driven to the specific feature that triggers the behavior. Both will struggle if the app's response is something like returning to a home screen with a custom message. And good luck teaching one of these systems what "disabling unrelated functionality" looks like.

Human interaction works better but is a gazillion times more expensive. Training people is also harder than one might think. You can train humans to identify "disabling unrelated functionality" but that's fuzzy enough that there are going to be some errors. Doable, but every single new policy costs significant amounts of money.

Policy overload is also a problem for developers. There are already a lot of rules on both app stores. Developers get a new "hey this is a new rule you need to comply with" email all the time. You can only roll things out so fast or developers will get overwhelmed with just validating that their apps remain in compliance.

These are often solvable problems in isolation, but when taken as part of the overall effort of policy enforcement on app stores they become quite a bit more challenging.
Effective Spaced Repetition

Well, we can define mathematical objects for every gap (impossibility), but most of them will turn out to be inconsistent with our existing mathematical objects, and thus not very useful or interesting. I'd consider that mathematics is the study of consistency and what can be discovered using the simplest possible starting points (axioms).

The classic case would be if mathematicians wanted to assign a value to division by zero. It turns out that if you do allow that to take a value, then it becomes possible to "prove" that any number is equal to any other number. Quite simply, it makes maths less interesting to allow that, but instead having division by zero be undefined appears far more useful/interesting.
It should be possible to derive the algorithm using an LLM given that timestamps, number of comments etc are available using the API.
Yeah, this list is chock full of just plain misunderstanding the idea being quoted ... like doublespeak, Overton Window, Theory of Constraints ...
I don't think "solid boring", or even old, is necessarily bad for recruiting.

Typescript and Golang for example, are relatively new-ish but still solid and boring, and have significantly much less gotchas than older established tech like, say, Rails.

I don't do Java, but I see it getting a bit of a renaissance. Either because of new features or because people are moving to Kotlin (yep for backends), which is a different language but still has the "solid boring" feel to it.

It is tough to hire for devops, though. The currently experienced people want to work with more complex infrastructure. Maybe we need a few more years to see those people getting burned and deciding they don't want to life an exciting work-life anymore.
Definitely. Commercial pricing for a move of a container from ship to shore and vice versa ranges between 30 and 70 euros here in Europe (Rotterdam/Antwerp).

Even if you compare fuel usage against inland barges, which capacity-wise are much closer, they use something on the order of magnitude of 25 metric tons of fuel every 2 to 3 weeks or so, depending on cruising speed and number of stops of course. Assuming about a 208 TEU capacity, and 1.8 tons of fuel a day, that'd be roughly 2 or 3 gallons of fuel per container per day.

People tend to really underestimate how ridiculously efficient ships are per unit of cargo shipped.

Realistically, if you want to make a difference in emissions right now, figure out a way to move inland shipping (the port-to-actual-destination leg) from trucks onto trains and barges, only doing last-mile trucking. I don't think the barrier to that happening is actually technical, nor is it financial because those modes tend to be cheaper. The economics around these modes of transport are well established. It's primarily that they are slower, so you tie up a lot of cashflow into goods in-transit.

Because the cost of shipping is so low relative to the cost of the goods itself, it typically does not make sense to save pennies on the transport while tying up serious cashflow for longer. I'm honestly surprised there is no financial institution that has made a financial product around financing the cashflow gap created by greener modes of transport: the pay-off is predictable, and the risks are low.

Funnily, CSS flexbox and grid models can be seen as a kind of constraint layout system. Penpot, the Figma competitor, has even implemented a flexbox subset as its layout mechanism.

The moral of the story, if there's one, is that constraints may be useful if they reflect common design rules and the system is built around those cases with high level abstractions, but simply allowing any possible low-level constraint may be too complex for the case of designing GUIs.

The NUL byte has no special meaning in file I/O, or the terminal. (Historically, the only special meaning was as a no-op character that does nothing.) The convention of using NUL as a termination character only exists for in-memory strings in C, and has no connection to file I/O.
