>So to have any chance of success each failure point needs to be engineered below, by way of example, a 0.0001% chance of failure. That costs lots of money. But say one decides to accept more risk for less cost. Ok. So you switch from 0.0001 to 0.001 failure rates. You risk is now 10-fold higher at each failure point,

It seems like a strawman to suggest that you would let failure probability increase by a factor of ten as the first step.

>but with thousands of failure points adding up you are now essentially doomed.

And it was an easy one to tear down.

>And you haven't saved anything. The cost of 0.001 components isn't fundamentally different than the 0.0001 components were.

There is no reason to believe that at all. Invert the question: if a system is 99.999% reliable, does that mean it should be free to make it more reliable? And why?

>It is either go or no go. Take CPU production. Intel spends billions at each of hundreds of fabrication step to push down miniscule error rates because any of a million errors can destroy a chip. There is no money to be saved by allowing any one process to become less than as perfect as it can possibly be.

This is completely wrong. Chip factories do produce chips with defects; those chips are sold for cheaper, since they still work, but not as fast. IIRC most of TSMC's modern processes are designed to sell the good chips at a high price and the bad ones cheaper.
This is quite silly. A warrant isn’t a magic bullet that ends all your rights and gives the police superpowers. A lawyer can very much say “no, this information isn’t responsive to the warrant”, where a lay person may not realise this, and volunteer information that they have no legal obligation to hand over.

The police absolutely rely on the information and power asymmetry between them and the public. You honestly don’t think the police behave very differently being watched (and these days often filmed) by a dozen high powered lawyers in suits, who will challenge absolutely everything they’ve just done as soon as they’re out the door?

> mainly because their domestic production was good enough that foreign goods couldn't compete

Most international trade (well intercontinental anyway) was restricted almost exclusively to luxury goods. And Europe didn't have to export in that regard besides glassware up until the 19th century. Transportation costs were way too high to export/import anything that might have taken up more space across long distances (especially over land).

After the industrial revolution imports to China remained at relatively very low levels due to heavily protectionist policies by the imperial government until the opium wars.

Obviously opium was the most egregious example and by modern standards China clearly had the right to restrict its imports. Opium just happened to be the most profitable one, however importing anything else (like cotton, furs, steel tools, mechanical items) besides gold/silver was very hard as well which why (amongst other thing) many Chinese people living on the coast weren't that keen on supporting the government (of course China was in sate of near permanent civil war and endless revolts during most of the century).
https://www.cnet.com/culture/internet/the-way-kids-use-memes... , this article is pretty interesting, it touches on how digital culture permeates young children and how they aren't constantly connected.

GPT-3.5 is much worse at "complex" cognitive tasks than Davinci (175B), which seem to indicate that it's a smaller model. It's also much faster than Davinci and costs the same as Curie via the API.
No it's not, because personal politics aren't pure embodiments of monolithic ideologies. It's a shorthand for a political perspective that incorporates aspects of both liberalism and leftism.
Read a page of text, then read it again to see if it changed. This test never seems to fail, at least in the sort of dreams I can remember having after waking up. Usually I can't read at all in dreams, and when I can, the text is different every time I read it.
IP != user. You'd only narrow it down to 10k suspects or something.
One difficulty is that stack size is platform-dependent, so it's hard to prove that a stack won't overflow on every possible platform. At least with Rust, a stack overflow is a mandatory segfault at runtime (appears scary at first, but it's guaranteed not to wreak any havoc) on all major platforms, thanks to guard pages (which are present on every platform) and stack probes (which are supported in LLVM for major targets).
>They failed, and there's no real excuse for their failures besides themselves, and their own motivations.

I'd argue the incentive wasn't there until CCP. That was the fundamental difference in the last 20 years. Without CCP, I don't think SpaceX would be successful, either. But I will say they've done much more than the Boeing at executing on that incentive.

I do think you may be overly cynical in your characterization, though. It wasn't too many years ago that Boeing was listed as the most desirable company to work for by college students. The reason isn't that they thought it was because they couldn't wait to gouge the public coffers, it was because aerospace has always been considered a sexy engineering discipline. You'll almost never find a civil engineering firm on those lists because "roads and commodes" just aren't considered cool.

Back to the question, I'll weigh in with my perspective. They are all responding to incentives, albeit different ones. But we have to acknowledge the downsides of each. SpaceX is awesome, but they aren't without their own psychological pressures and biases. I've brought it up elsewhere in this thread, but they have wanted to rapidly iterate rather than fundamentally understand some of their design issues. I suspect this is partly cultural (where operational tempo matters more than scientific rigor...i.e., "we don't need to know why it works, as long as it works") and some of it is business (i.e., they have specific contractual deadlines to consider). Those are also some of the issues that lead to mishaps dating back to Apollo and Shuttle.

Considering you seem to think the legacy downsides are due to the business/shareholder side, do you see the same issues encroaching on SpaceX if they go public?

It was a flippant but sincere defence of MDMA as a drug for hanging out with your mates.

Well, yeah. In this sense, it's the second-worst thing that could have happened, with the worst outcome being injured or dead people. But they probably didn't expect such a bombastic finale so quickly.
There's a chapter in Malcolm Gladwell's famous "The Tipping Point" that deals with waves of teenage suicides. He describes that a single suicide acts as a subliminal permission for this behavior to be mimicked. This permission is sent out as a beacon and susceptible agents replicate this behavior.

I forget the details of it, but the point was that this could be extended to other behavior as well, possibly all behavior. The underlying connotation is that humans take on pack roles as pack animals, and are rewarded by connective activities, even suicide, as crazy as it sounds.

Social media is a conduit of behavior modeling. It is best for everyone to realize this.

> If you lose traction in the front, you lose all control of the vehicle

You only have so much traction to accelerate, brake, and steer. Sharing them on the same wheels seems objectively worse at the limits to me, except in the sense that every car is all wheel stop.

I think some of the safety issues associated to RWD were problems of the days where they were more common. Trucks need weight in the back, we know that, and winter tires are way better now.

You have to learn how the car handles when it's not an emergency to know what to do in a panic. I toss every car I own around in a snowy parking lot at least once so I know what it'll do. This seems insane to a lot of people I've talked to.

That said, I think understeer is safer and more predictable in most situations for people who use their cars as a transportation appliance. You point and shoot, so to speak. Most people aren't driving at the limits.

Good thoughts.
> I hope that we can all stop denying that our skills are obviated so that we can get to the more important fact that it’s supposed to be a good thing, because humans have to do less work.

But this is false. Humans don’t need to do a particular amount of work because there is X amount of work to be done and it has to be distributed, so that new non-human systems replacing human work reduce the amount of work each human has to do.

Humans have to do a particular amount of work because they need each, individually, to net (or be gifted) a certain amount of market value to acquire the needs of survival and desired lifestyle, so if the value of the work they do is decreased in the market, they don’t need to do less, they need to do more.

There is no labor saving from automation, unless there is additional redistribution of the capital gains enabled by automation shifting returns from labor to capital.

I can't answer for OP, but for me, I just don't. I prefer an entirely offline password manager, and that's the way I use mine (I use enpass). Except for backing up to the cloud, it does not really use the network. When I need a password, on my computer or on my phone, I look it up and transcribe it (I'm reluctant even to allow it to hook into the password autocomplete in IOS; I prefer to copy/paste because I don't really want any leak in the knowledge of where my passwords are stored).

I would actually prefer an even less feature-rich password manager. I've thought of trying to fork something like KeePass for my purposes (or use a restricted subset) but I haven't been willing to devote the time and effort necessary.
If you've ever wondered why English is described as a Germanic language, despite so much obvious French and Latin influence, this is why. Something like this is just not possible with (almost) 100% French/Latin vocabulary. The way thoughts are stacked up and laid out is, at heart, done like in the other Germanic tongues. In contradiction, the Latinate superstrate remains, to the present, an imported affectation, frequently incompletely comprehended by normally fluent audiences.
Anomaly detection is my current favorite use case for GPTs. Other problems can potentially be recast as anomaly detection that are not currently thought of as such. Regulation for instance.
One of the funny things about growing up a vegetarian (in America or maybe more particularly where I'm from) is to be looked down on, seen as immature or as if you are denying the realities of the world, but the people who would say the least science backed to just fucked up shit to you are the people like this who have an absolute hissy fit about talking about the general consequences of a having a exceedingly high caloric intake, composed of a lot of animal products which create more stress on the only livable planet we have access to. The American diet is a joke and we should talk about it since it's an increasingly important topic whether you personally get worked up about it or not.

Anyway, feels good now that I'm older and there is more and more science backed evidence to show you can be healthy without animal based products and how much better it is for the environment, but I wish I could go back and tell that lonely 10 year old kid being mocked by other kids and adults that he made the right choice.

I'm not going to miss them. The News Division put their foot into bad journalism repeatedly.

For starters, FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting), a left-wing watchdog with Progressive right in their website title, denounced BuzzFeed News' coverage of Obama during his term as "almost uniformly uncritical and often sycophantic," and even "creepy" for literally having only one negative article about him in their assessment out of one hundred random samples from Google (though they specifically call out the majority assessed were News Division, not BuzzFeed the tabloid). Their top tech reporter, Ryan Broderick, was fired after plagiarizing for almost a decade, and basically the entire time he was working there. And publishing the Steele Dossier as though it was actual news at first, even though even Wikipedia says many of the statements in it were false, was also a low point; even the Washington Post in 2017 said it was bad journalism. So bad actually, that the editor of BuzzFeed felt the need to publish an opinion piece in The Atlantic today (yes, today, 6 years later) defending his actions. Another Pulitzer-prize winning journalist (Barry Meier) called the whole event a "media clusterfuck of epic proportions."

If what we're seeing now is the logical outcome of this "creative explosion," I prefer no alternative. I would be willing to sacrifice quantity for quality at this point. Any sort of reversion of what it used to be, driven scholars, hobbyists, tech nerds, entrepreneurs, and so forth, would be welcome. Like back in the '00s. If you have something to say, by God say it, but generating or aggregating nonsense in order to farm clicks should die.
Don't forget the community is the person who is being defended against. Using lethal force against someone has wide consequences.
One thing I learned recently is that 12th Century Fourth Crusade actually culminated in sacking Constantinople and establishment of the "Latin Empire", as the intended successor of the Byzantine Empire, which only existed for a brief time before it was recaptured by a rump state founded by exiled Byzantine aristocrats. Apparently (and understandably) this led to major deterioration in East-West Christian relations, and furthermore the resulting weakening of the Byzantine Empire is what might have enabled the Ottoman Empire to eventually conquer the Byzantine Empire in the 15th Century. The level of geopolitical chaos involved in such an event is unimaginable today. Even the messiest of 20th century wars seem downright orderly by comparison.
I'm not too familiar with rel, but from what I read, rel seems to be cloud only, and CozoDB always aims to be local-first. Another difference is that CozoDB has many whole-graph algorithms, and more can be added from user code (for example using Python), which I don't see rel having.
I think the idea was to use BuzzFeed News to elevate the BuzzFeed brand.

We don't really know that. This _appears_ to be the case but the accounting is strange. We would probably get better numbers if the company was publicly traded.

Where's the funding for Skylon? Some US company with deeper pockets should license the design (the heat exchangers are incredible)
It's not supposed to be user-facing though, is it? If you have a code library for translating text and such, calling it I18n makes more sense than Internationalization in that context because Internationalization is just too long.
I think the distinction I'm making is that the "form" of learning you take should be proportional to the risk and that all forms are not equal in value.
Fox News has done very well because they aren't a journalism organization. They just repeat what their audience wants to hear and laugh all the way to the bank. If what they're talking about is in any way related to the truth it is entirely coincidental. They have in multiple lawsuits now argued that they are not a news organization and can not be held to any journalistic standards.

Real journalism is difficult and ultimately expensive. Telling people what they want to hear is cheap and easy.

In fact people are STILL unhappy with China because of the fallout from their attempt to TEST their capacity to do that in 2007!
I previously worked in medical image processing/transcoding and you are correct, but most people probably don't know precisely how or why.

The knee jerk mindset that most people have in safety-critical design, is being ultra conservative.

In the fields of medical and space (and likely others), you have an asymmetrical risk-reward profile. Think about it this way, if an engineer takes a risk on refactoring some software logic, and it speeds the system up 3%, what is their reward? A raise? A promotion? Fat chance. If that refactor instead breaks 3% of the time; engines blow up, people die, customers yell at them, they get fired, perhaps in some situations they even get sued.

The engineers then converge to a local maxima by the means of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", and various other ultra conservative leanings. This mindset also will often get selected for in hiring, and rewarded.

Now take the limit of this as time goes to infinity, you have bloated, legacy software that is full of spaghetti code and can't take new features easily (if at all). In the case of NASA's space shuttle program, it was extremely expensive, and the cost wasn't falling significantly over time either.

One might view ultra conservatism as the problem, but the real issue is the asymmetrical risk-reward profile. Solving that takes a head-on approach with great leadership, deploying capital, state of the art testing/QA, great deployment pipelines, and more. Shield people from the risk, and intentionally reward people when they push the envelope.

Imagine if you had a software testing process and product specification that was 99.9999% effective (and no, yours is not even close to that), you could then move at a silicon valley "fail fast" pace and advance the technology and architecture rapidly.
That is something to consider, thought I am not sure off hand how many were actually still active.

The Linux kernel, when it boots, will perform all its setup, then launch a program.

That program has traditionally been `/sbin/init` which launches all background things that need to be running, including your `getty`'s for console login, your `sshd` for SSH login, and your `gdm`'s or what not for GUI login.

Lately it's `systemd` which does the same in a less simple but more flexible/featureful manner.

Here, there is literally no other process running but Emacs - it's your "login shell."

This is the first step in replacing `systemd` with `emacs`, and it will take less space and be easier to use. /s
They explicitly don't! Christianity is very clear that whilst everyone is born into sin, Jesus died to cleanse us of that sin and God is forgiving of sinners who repent. In the Christological religions at least, there is always a way back to the good path. You may have to pray for forgiveness, or do a confession. But you can do it.
In climatological religion, there is no way to the good path no matter what you do.
