The problem now is that the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund is deeply tied to the US economy.

I don't understand why we Europeans are so invested into the US economy when every American on twitter/reddit is saying the US dollar and economy is about to collapse. They might be wrong and are probably wrong but it is still incredibly stupid to invest in a country when its own citizens think it will collapse in a year or two.

Yep, this is one of those issues that get missed because a good chunk of SWEs have fast machines and test the application locally. I've started enabling throttling in dev tools so I can catch these kind of UX problems.

Thank you for your service, Junnn11! This is such a fantastic body of work.
In fact, zoning rules and density caps exist, in the US (where they were pioneered) at least, mostly to prevent Black families from moving into municipalities. They proliferated after the 1917 Supreme Court Buchanan case that outlawed outright racial zoning. This is also most of the reason for minimum lot sizes (they worked in tandem with mortgage underwriting restrictions for Black families to make home purchases viable for whites and non-viable for Blacks).
The music you can't hear
> Something seemingly lost to many new devs. I'm pretty convinced by now the reason the win32 API is so stable because no developer is interested in "the old stuff", so nobody tinkers with it, hence stuff doesn't break.

I highly encourage you to take a look at the work Microsoft did with the XBox backwards compatibility for the XBox One X/S; unlike their naming teams, MS have people who care deeply about this stuff. Not only did they spend a lot of time making sure that most games work on the One X, they spent time doing things like having the newer platform upgrade the games on the fly where possible.

MS absolutely has people tinkering with their old APIs, sometimes to quite good effect.

without trashing the NORWEGIAN environment, but let's not whitewash over all of the CO2 they have unleashed on the world.

More generally, I think it will be interesting to see what happens next with Norway - while they have avoided the principle resource curse - what happens when all of these oil jobs disappear (10% of direct employment and probably up to 25% in an indirect sense)?

If a business wants to hire a dev but can't afford it, the dev being 10x more productive doesn't make them more affordable unless

1) They're hiring a contractor for 1/10th the hours, and
2) The contractor hasn't increased the per-hour fee to match the increased productivity

I mean, sure, it can work out. But it's hard to see how it would do so in enough numbers to actually matter much.

> Which is exactly why we have things like WordPress developers for small businesses

Right, this is a solved problem. Businesses who don't need a full-time dev hires a contractor. That's how it's always worked. But contractors are expensive.

So, either the contractors would reduce their fees (thus falsifying the assertion that AI would increase their pay rate) or those businesses will be paying the same as they've always paid but perhaps getting the finished work sooner than they otherwise would have (thus falsifying the assertion that AI would make this more affordable).

Productivity gains can absolutely reduce costs and increase profits, but they do so by getting more work out of people while paying them the same as always.

I just tried to find footage of a TV commercial of a women talking to an intelligent "agent" on her computer. The agent was autonomous enough to be in the process of finding her tickets to some event. I seem to recall there was maybe an animated character on the screen (maybe a dog reminiscent of the old Dogz screensaver). The commercial was maybe late 1990s or early 2000s.

The commercial seemed prescient to me. Anyone else remember this?
One serious way to think about this problem is that every hyper-local decision making body is corrupt, but states are only some of the time. There's no level at which you can make collective action decisions where there's no significant risk of corruption, but the narrower you go, the more natural and unavoidable the conflicts of interest become.
Interesting that you mention the stock market. The stock market velocity of content is entirely different than movie reviews, cultural research, or political commentary.

Viennese Coffee House
> The Austrian writer Stefan Zweig described the Viennese Coffee House as an institution of a special kind, "actually a sort of democratic club, open to everyone for the price of a cheap cup of coffee, where every guest can sit for hours with this little offering, to talk, write, play cards, receive post, and above all consume an unlimited number of newspapers and journals." Zweig in fact attributed a good measure of Vienna's cosmopolitan air to the rich daily diet of current and international information offered in the coffee houses.

> Unlike some other café traditions around the world, it is completely normal for a customer to linger alone for hours and study the omnipresent newspaper. Along with coffee, the waiter will serve an obligatory glass of cold tap water and during a long stay will often bring additional water unrequested, with the idea to serve the guest with an exemplary sense of attention.
Emirates, the largest owner of A380s, is asking for a bigger one https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/emirates-boss-tim-clark-o...

Apparently the slot limitations at major city airports are becoming a harder constraint to work with, especially as a larger swatch of Asia gain the ability to travel long haul.

Losing the A380 in 15-20 years is going to make flying between big city pairs more expensive.
Yes, this too!
But have you tried to move any users over to, "wechat and signal and telegram and whatever"? Getting users onto your own system wasn't trivial. If you want to move to a more supported system like, say, Signal, then you have to pay the platform switching costs, which includes moving your group of people. Which involves having the social capital to do so, which is unfortunate for the less social of us.

There are many things that killed what the Internet was in the 20-30 years hence. IPv4 exhaustion is regrettable, but entirely predicted, and for those in the west, not a huge deal. I can pay any number of cloud providers a small fee to host me a box with a publicly routable IPv4 address. CGNAT is annoying, but the number of libraries which will punch a hole in that NAT has also expanded by a huge margin since the 90's. So those up things are unfortunate, but I think there are many other things that changed the Internet, some for the better, some for the worse.
There are already multiple models and open source versions of the LLMs. Becoming unavailable would seem to be a highly unlikely outcome.
Well, you need many fewer people to do the same amount of work.

In America in particular, there isn't enough income or jobs in the low/no skill area to survive. Suicide and deaths of despair rates amongst middle-aged and older in this demographic are astronomical.

In the relatively near future, it won't be necessary to have as many software engineers to run a very large company.
Would the old way have worked circa 2010 before SEO articles ruined vanilla search? Is the new way preferable because SEO-ish approaches haven't caught up? If so, can we limit searches to the LLM's trusted learning corpus and get back to a simpler time?
Yeah, misleading headline. The article says "During the golden age of the silent movie (1912-29)", which is distinct from "the golden age of Hollywood" which typically describes the studio era, up through 1959, as you say.

> About 95% of all private plane crashes are due to running out of fuel or flying into clouds. It is ridiculously easy to do neither: fill your tank, and turn around.

Denver was told by a technician that the tanks had "less than half in the right tank and less than a quarter in the left tank" These are each 26 gallon tanks. The technician was wrong because the gauges were non-linear (and had no markings). Denver should have checked himself (and hopefully knew the gauges were non-linear), but either didn't check or didn't know. 10+ gallons (what he likely thought he had in the right tank) is more than enough for the flight he was attempting.
That’s odd- the first film mentioned by this article (Ben-Hur from 1925), which it describes as completely lost, is not lost, at least according to its wikipedia article. Apparently it was (at least) partly considered lost until being found again in the 80’s. Not sure whether to trust TFA on any other claims now.
I think being able to find others like you is actually what really sends mental health spiraling.

Back in the day, if you were a pathetic loser, that’s all you were, and that’s how you had to navigate life. This would force you to take an honest look at yourself and see why you don’t fit in to larger society and maybe if you should try to be different. And eventually you might become a version of yourself a bit more acceptable to society. Even if you knew deep down you were a pathetic loser, at least now you knew how to cooperate and be agreeable with others and even make friends that are different from you and not total losers. In time you would gain wisdom about life and be content with yourself.

But now? It’s quick to find so many others exactly like you, and you can feed off each others thoughts and words of encouragement, no matter how twisted. Eventually you see everyone not like you as an enemy, rather than as a person whose friendship and acceptance you seek to earn. You lose your connection to the rest of society, you find yourself increasingly unable to relate, and find yourself spending your days seething with hate at the society that you feel has nothing to offer you, filled with people you’ll never give a fuck about.

oh, like my starlink. I can't use it for VoWiFi, because it drops for a couple seconds every minute. So i use it to download, only. It also works for any VoD streaming service (youtube, netflix, etc), but will not work for live streams. Can't use it for gaming, then again with CGNAT on my main ISP i can't use it for gaming really, either.

However stuff like matrix works fine on starlink, because it will eventually be able to phone home and do all of the queued transfers, and that's fine.

That's absurd. It's almost as silly as Quarterdeck's DESQview/X product that ran win-16 binaries. I ran it for laughs once in 2001, it worked.

Quarterdeck - thanks for the memories, and also, the memories

The lesson of DESQ is to design software to run on the computers of tomorrow and don't worry so much about the computers of today. That sounds stupid to me as well but neither of us have yachts or private jets so what do we know. It's about colonizing the future.

Well, balance is a very very funny thing. There are lots of board game design articles about it. A lot of designers will employ spreadsheet and Monte Carlo to achieve "balance".

The thing is that players don't want actual balance; they want to feel like it is balanced. And much more importantly, it must be FUN! If a game is too balanced it might well be boring and that is worse! My goal for balance is to try to make it so that players of equal skill and exposure to a game all have a reasonable chance of winning any game play.

I do know of some designers who start with a perfectly balanced game so they have an anchor. Then they adjust it over play-testing sessions to be more fun or create the experience they are designing for. I have a game that is Dracula vs Van Helsing in a hidden movement chase. I KNOW that Dracula has a 60/40 advantage. However, during unattended play-testing (random people are just given the game and rulebook and I'm not there), players overwhelmingly reported feeling that Van Helsing was far too strong!! Perception is everything.

As for your friend, they should look at having it played during a Protospiel or Unpub event. Some are in person but there are others online. They will get immeasurable feedback to direct their design. They are also innumerable podcasts that discuss these topic like Ludology and Discords like Building the Game and Break My Game they could join to get more feedback and advice.

As for random set ups creating unbalanced games, that can sometimes be even the desired effect. It depends a lot of the type of game, length of game and target audience. For example, Uno is completely random and unbalanced in terms of game decisions. However, the point of the game is to allow kids to beat their parents while learning matching. It is a 15 minute game so you just play again and move on with life. The memories and excitement are the desired game experience, who cares about balance?
It's also one of those things where no matter what you do, someone will hate it and other will love it.

Lazy load images? People with bandwidth quotas might praise you. Others with sporadic connections will despise it, because they can't load the page once and revisit the already fully loaded tab when internet disappears. People with high bandwidth and no quotas will barely notice anything, unless they are quick readers, then they'll blame you for not loading the images quickly enough.

Not lazy load images? Everything vice-versa.

The 'Toyota'/'Honda' tax on used cars is real. I'd say Toyota is the main one who has earned it [0]

The 'Subaru' tax less so... [1]

Mazda is somewhat the exception here; a lot of their stuff is some branch of the Ford tech branch lineage, but they at least went down the path of 'not leaking coolant into cylinders' with their engine design.

But I digress.

It's an information problem because the owner may or may not know about engine/transmission/electrical[2] The the first two parts of that are -fairly- consistent across models... you'll see some cars that frequently sell at certain mileage points, and sometimes part of that is because savvy owners know that it's near a hard maintenance point (or common failure point.)

[0] - Shift Flare on Aisin(Toyota) transmissions is far less of a real problem than many Honda 5 speeds, for example.

[1] - I've found my Subaru, despite having a reputation for being 'touchy' was perfectly fine up to the point an oil change was borked. After that it's been a slow downhill.

[2] - These are the biggest 'money pits' in my experience, baring 'cooling system' issues that were actually engine design issues (looking at you, AMC I6 Grand Cherokee!)
Correct me if I misunderstand, but your point is that even if the textual content can be made deterministic the (form/shape/type?) of the output is not deterministic?

If you are expecting a specific format you can just check whether the LLM outputs the correct format, and return null or an error in that case. Given the input is arbitrary text, and assuming a non-trivial transformation, traditional code would need a way of handling failure cases anyways. This means your function either way would look something like:

Item from Universal Set -> Value of Type | Null

You need to reject the entire set of invalid inputs. However the sets of all valid and invalid inputs are often both infinite themselves and it’s also not guaranteed that this set is actually computable. Alternatively in these cases (and most commonly) you construct a calculable subset of inputs and reject the rest. However this means you are still rejecting an infinite number of valid inputs.

On the other hand an LLM always returns a value. Your job as a programmer using an LLM is instead to validate and narrow down the result type as much as possible. However the way they work means that for many cases they can output a valid output for a much wider range of inputs than you could do with traditional code in a reasonable amount of code complexity. For many tasks this is transformational.
Ah, OK. So it only applies to a single tool and, as you note, if it gets used too widely it will probably cease to be effective.
