> But the topic of this discussion is PURE functional programming.

Yes, exactly. It is NOT about "pure functional programming languages" nor is it about (what's nowadays called "functional programming" features). But you seem to be talking about those two things.

> So when did that happen? Almost every codebase I see is imperative, either procedural or OO. They use mutable state, they use functions with side effects.

Then maybe you need to broaden your horizon. I've worked exclusively(!) in different code bases over the last 5+ years that followed a pure(!) functional style, maybe with very few exceptions for performance or sometimes to make things simpler since it was not Haskell.

For example, look at the adopters of ZIO: https://github.com/zio/zio#adopters

ZIO is a PFP library for Scala (even though they don't market it as that to be more beginner-friendly, but read the documentation and you'll see that it's essentially an IO-monad on steroids). And it is a rather new one but already got lots of traction. And even typescript has now fp-ts which is used much more than I expected myself.

Of course, being a ZIO adopter does not necessarily mean the whole codebase is using ZIO (and hence following a PFP approach) but the chance is high and I personally know two more companies that use ZIO and are not in the list, so there are very likely much more companies that use ZIO. Also, those companies were using a PFP style pretty much everywhere, in every team (backend only though). So it's not like there was just one project in that style or something like that.

When I compare that to 10 years ago, there was pretty much nothing besides Haskell and Haskell is, as you correctly said, not very prevalent in visible production projects. But checkout the list and to your surprise you might find some familiar names in there.
> You can’t just transplant an iPhone screen from one phone to another.

Why so? May be I can't but how difficult it for a repair shop?
That seems rather debatable. While I don't think the overall use case favors fair use, due to the commercial nature of most of the end products, the fact that such use is clearly transformative is definitely a positive factor on the side of LLM creators:

> A key consideration in later fair use cases is the extent to which the use is transformative. In the 1994 decision Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music Inc,[13] the U.S. Supreme Court held that when the purpose of the use is transformative, this makes the first factor more likely to favor fair use.[14] Before the Campbell decision, federal Judge Pierre Leval argued that transformativeness is central to the fair use analysis in his 1990 article, Toward a Fair Use Standard.[11] Blanch v. Koons is another example of a fair use case that focused on transformativeness. In 2006, Jeff Koons used a photograph taken by commercial photographer Andrea Blanch in a collage painting.[15] Koons appropriated a central portion of an advertisement she had been commissioned to shoot for a magazine. Koons prevailed in part because his use was found transformative under the first fair use factor.

The power requirement at cruising speed would quite a lot less than max power would it not? If cruse consumed 60% of max you'd be using closer to 80kW which would give you over 2 hours flight time.
I swear I've been reading this headline for last 15 years.
No. That wouldn’t be a battery by any meaningful definition, nor have any similarities in implementation or enabling technology or physics.

But it would deliver 24 trillion wh/kg… so by that metric at least we’ve room to progress :-)
I don’t think Musk has given a writeup of his reasons for thinking 400wh/kg is the magic number, but a lot of research has been done that says similar numbers. This paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666691X2... is a good review; it cites researchers saying 800wh/kg for an electric Airbus A320, NASA saying 400Wh/kg for general aviation and 750Wh/kg for regional aviation, and other researchers saying 600Wh/kg for commercial regional aircraft and 820Wh/kg for commercial narrow-body aircraft.

That paper also sketches out the argument for electric flight at close to current battery densities rather than close to kerosene energy densities. It goes:

Jet fuel gets roughly 28% final efficiency while electric gets roughly 90%, so divide jet fuel by 3 to get 4,000 effective Wh/kg.

Alternate aerodynamic designs and especially distributed propulsion are much more achievable with electric engines. Imagine the difficulty of making a 14-, 24-, or even 36-turbine aircraft, yet all of those have been built and flown with electric engines already (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_X-57_Maxwell, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_XV-24_LightningStrike, and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium_Jet respectively). Gains of 3-5x have been observed here and higher is predicted, the conservative mean is 4x, so divide again by 4 to get jet fuel to 1,000 effective Wh/kg.

That is getting close to current energy densities of batteries. You only need to find one more ~2x improvement that electric flight can obtain over jet fuel to bring it into the range of 500Wh/kg, which CATL is saying they have in production right now.

(Presumably Musk’s magic 400Wh/kg number involved another 2.5x improvement, though I don’t know where specifically he thought it would come from. The internet seems to think he said you can go higher because you don’t need oxidizer from the air to burn jet fuel, but that doesn’t sound right since you still need to push on the air with your fans and you’ll run out of that at high altitude before you run out of oxygen, so it must be coming from somewhere else. Regardless, the point is that jet fuel imposes design constraints that trap you in a local maximum of aircraft efficiency, and electric engines allow you to explore a wider space which may have much much higher maximums.)
But it can be solved trivially with proper discipline. ‘Mutable by default’ implies there’s a way to make things immutable, and proper discipline can make everything immutable.

The problem is that no human can maintain proper discipline at all times, and it takes only one slip to create a bug.

And yes, programmers doing that would soon realize that ‘immutable by default’ leads to a better UX of a programming language. It’s way easier to be alerted by a warning ‘mutable’ keyword than by a missing ‘immutable’ one)

That’s why we should have linters that flag all missing ‘immutable’ annotations or incorrect usage of ‘mutable’ ones. Rust even adds something like that to the language.

The 25-year import rule serves as evidence of how the United States has struggled in competition and developing vehicles over the past several decades.

Toyota and Subaru are present in the United States because there is an incentive to manufacture them locally, which serves as a valuable learning experience for the US.

Thus the United States' car manufacturers are either perceived as being of low quality or lagging behind their competitors, leading to the country being utilized as a third-party for inexpensive assembly.

While LA is hardly a paragon of bicycling accessibility, it does have a ton of dedicated cycling routes (I’m talking 8-12+ ft wide, dedicated pathways) that can get bicyclists to most of the major hubs throughout the city. Even still, you’ll see the occasional bicyclist(s) who wants to drive down Washington Blvd during rush hours Because-They-Can(TM) and the cycling path is a little too inconvenient for them, holding up hundreds of cars.

I have nothing against the majority of bicyclists, but those occasional entitled few are the only ones people see; which can easily paint their opinions of all of them.

I agree, those programmers should be properly flogged.

Most of the problems I read about are during the initial signup stage. They ask for a copy of your passport etc and even then some people can't signup because presumably their info is triggering something in Hetzner's anti fraud checks. This sucks for those people of course.

The other common cause of issues is things like crypto which they don't want in their network at all.

This will sound like I am downplaying what people have exprerienced and/or being apologetic on their behalf but that is not my intention. I am just a small time customer of theirs. I've had 1 or 2 dedicated servers with them for many many years now upgrading and migrating as necessary. (It used to be that if you waited for a year or two and upgraded you'd get a better server for cheaper. Those days are gone.)

I've only dealt with support over email where they have been both capable and helpful, but what I needed was just plugging in a hardware kvm switch (free for a few hours - i never had to pay) or replacing a failing hard drive (they do this with zero friction). Perhaps I am lenient on the tech support staff. After all they are my people. I've been to a few datacenters and have huge respect for what they do.

On the presales side they seem to reply with a matter of fact tone with no flexibility. They are a German company after all.
Not only that but too much might also cause you to have to dump fuel in order for the plane to be able to land.
Thank you for this, it's a very valid point to make.

We get served bullshit and fiction-presented-as-fact every day from humans. To make matters worse, alot of these lies are not even the result of an error. A lot of them are deliberate, to further some sort of agenda.

Yes, AI can fantasize about facts. Yes AI isn't perfect. But at least, when it does spew misinformation, it is virtually always the result of an error. When an AI lies, it's because of errors, not to sell us something, or get our vote, or talk itself out of something.
Nice this would mean potentially cheaper electrical cars with same or longer range than today or more expensive cars with much longer range than today.

That means that the new image better conforms to the simulated data. I understand why it makes sense to do this (simulated data generated following the laws of physics, etc.) but it seems to me that the original point of the EHT was to experimentally verify that black holes actually look as we've modeled them for decades, so sharpening images using modeled data seems somewhat backwards.

I mean, I've seen plenty of jackass drivers threatening or acting aggressively to cyclists in Europe. Even the Netherlands, of all places.

The biggest difference is there are more protective laws / dedicated bike lanes and the critical mass of cyclists means you might be swatting at a bee swarm.
It's my view that "ethical concerns" in this context are confused at best, worthless virtue signaling frequently, and at worse it as an absurdly _unethical_ effort to use state power to block research and inquiry in order to protect oligopoly profits. As a bonus side effect they get used as an excuse to train in discriminatory biases, with whatever negative effects those will have-- probably mostly just undermining trust in the involved institutions.

Offer the system to consenting adults, make them aware that the output is frequently garbage, TEACH them how produce garbage to help them to recognize some of the most obvious failure modes. Done. At that point the result would be generally safer than the URL bar in user's browsers which can take them to all manner of harmful things, including potentially other LLMs -- or the most dangerous of intelligences: contact with other human beings.

Mentally ill people, violent people, etc. will always do unfortunate things involving whatever things are in proximity to them. The internet isn't "safe", libraries aren't "safe", the _world_ isn't "safe".

But even if the world itself were safe people would still manage harm themselves and others with it with it, because people aren't safe. No one bothers writing about people who committed suicide after losing a game of chess to a child or watching sad movies, but those things happen too. It's a big world and so you name it, someone has probably killed themselves over it or with it or killed someone else because of it.

Go look at the mobile 'games' offered in the play store. Can you look at google raking in tons turning children into click-a-holics and tell me seriously that you think "safe" was ever a significant objective?

It's only big in the context of ML because there is a socially well connected apocalypse cult ( https://archive.is/eqZx2 ) pushing the idea that today's ML are materially unsafe in ways that other things aren't and it's a commercially convenient narrative to protect oligopolies.

Depends on which storyteller you listen to. The English would tell you that the Chinese were being unfair in their trade and had it coming it to them (the wars). The Chinese would tell you that they have had a century of humiliation[1].

Somewhere inbetween those stories lies the truth. However as with the current crisis, it was the English that invaded with their Navy, that would make them the aggressor and hence the bad-~guy~human. Taking todays value system and applying it to events that happened some 180 years ago.

It isn't an issue for everyday driving though. Most folks never take that trip at all, and they surely aren't doing it for a commute. Truck drivers are an exception.

IIRC, the average commute in the US is about an hour. Realistically, you probably are only going to need a few hours of charging daily.

Of course, the real problem in the US is infrastructure. It does no one any favors if you can't charge your car at your apartment, while at work, or can't find places to charge along the way. I haven't lived in the US for nearly 10 years - I moved to Norway, where electric cars are popular but the infrastructure for them has been growing too and there are places to charge your car. And that's just not possible in the US, and I doubt this is going to change in the current political atmosphere - again, rural and poor areas will be left behind at best.
We do have a choice because, on paper, we do have a choice in choosing those countries’ politicians. I know I’ll never give my vote to a politician keen on banning gasoline cars.

It’s sadly also true that the technocrats actually taking those decisions are a lot less directly accountable, but nothing that a second “yellow vests” movement won’t be able to fix.
You can adjust the alerts a little bit. If you are actually going below 60 on a regular basis then you are hypoglycemic and the alerts are probably useful.

They’re only banning sales of new EVs in the short term, and poor people don’t buy new cars anyway. By the time they are buying EVs, they’ll be much cheaper.
