Income inequality isn't good or bad, it doesn't necessarily imply a working model as I gather you believe...nor does it suggest extractive behaviours, and people's aversion to it is absurd and ideological - see other replies to you.

Absolute poverty is the real enemy, but it is possible to have high inequality and low poverty.

Where I disagree with you is in accumulated wealth being the problem...it isn't generally bad or unproductive, but this is asset dependent, land-wealth is a sink and Georgist measures could significantly improve productivity and capital acceleration.

But the so called "left-wing" you describe seems intent on punitive taxation as opposed to productive...

A kernel module that drops the user into a root shell if they call an obscure kernel functionality with a secret value in some registers.

This should be somewhat easy to start and self-contained. If you want, you can easily extend it if you want things to become more fancy. E.g., hiding the secret constant. Implementing a challenge response protocol, limiting access to other global state (hardware dongle? ip address?) and so on.
This is why refactoring is a thing.

Perhaps someone should write a book for managers that explains these two things.

I doubt there is much of a difference between typical brainless human management, and AI management. Maybe AI is even better, that is at least likely.
>regulations over business which prevents monopolies and market distortions, along with much stronger unions

monopolies can be the "natural" outcome of market forces or economic realities. Like having the best product by far or owing the only possible railroads tracks. The solution would be to cap ownership/voting rights to make shareholding as decentralized as possible and having a progressive tax rate on ROA or similar metrics

Unions have shown time and time again to not be able to scale efficiently, shifting power from the "people" to the secretariat when becoming a mass organization. Secretariat that engage in political squabble to enlarge its own power and those of its associates. Unions become a tool for societial corruption.

I consider also the concept of antagonistic union a somewhat relic of the past (at least in europe) and will much more appreciate organizations acting more like consortiums of workers and getting consulative seats in the boards of the target industries akin to german unions
little JS trick for you you can use Array.from so you can skip one of the .fill

> let board = Array.from({length: N_ROWS}).map(() => new Array(N_COLS).fill(0));

probably doesn't matter for this size of a board but its one less loop of the array
this is a personal opinion disguised as a rational argument and general truth. It essentially reads as "I don't like brutalism, nobody does, it sucks and therefore this has nothing to do with it". It's intellectually dishonest and cheap.

Brutalism was never about stripping buildings of all aesthetics, a common misconception or often heard derogatory argument against many forms of minimalism. Minimalism does not eliminate design. It is more about rejecting purely decorative elements and working directly with the structural elements and building material. Recognising aesthetic choices is therefore not fraudulent or dishonest, but your lack of understanding what brutalism is about.
The theory that gpt has merely learned the acceptable commands needs to be considered more likely, given the other comments pointing out that random input will do as well as gpt apparently does.
IBM as a company barely makes sense at all at this point. They are a very large and a former tech company that mostly coasts along on doing expensive consulting projects around me-too clones of things that other people have invented just so they can still pretend to be a tech company. So you can do things with AI, cloud, and databases with them. But they aren't really leaders in any of that for a long time. And having been exposed to some of that stuff, they aren't very good at it even but they can still get some things done. They still have lots of ancient tech from last century that they support of course. But mostly a new company starting their business today would have very little reason to engage with IBM on anything. There's very little that they do that you can't get cheaper and better elsewhere.

So, IBM using this opportunity to cut down their own org tree a bit more and "replace it with AI" (or simply drop some people) is not unexpected. Because consulting related to doing exactly that is probably what they'll be selling a lot for the next few years. Basically, as world + dog is trying to figure out how to fit AI into their businesses, consulting related to that is going to be booming. And IBM is a consulting company. A lot of their previous efforts are actually powering the backoffice of course. So now that AI is going to replace all of that, that basically means there is going to be a lot of consulting happening as to how that would work. So that's a good business opportunity.

This article is about how we process text before passing it to large language models, the problems with this approach, and an alternative solution.
Mostly it is an example of failing at science communication, as highlighting the radioactivity of a banana basically just serves to make bananas seem more scary. Because radioactivity is scary: it can lethally damage without you feeling anything before your start puking.

Saying living next to a reactor is safe because even bananas contains a bit of radioactivity is somewhat like saying living next to a Ebola lab is safe because there are viruses in bananas... it's not really speaking to the fear of getting caught up in the fallout when bad things happen at the reactor.
What I'd like is a good bidirectional Latin <-> English AI translation model, ideally downloadable (though even an online version with an interface like DeepL - which doesn't do latin - would be better than the current situation of having nothing at all). It probably wouldn't be on par with the best human translators, at least not at the beginning, but that's not a problem.
It adopted all kinds of German rocket tech and scientists for the space program and millitary uses. And it co-opted both states post-war, complete with ex-fascists in positions of power and everything.
Because too many of them get in power to avoid the time for those crimes.
tl;dr US government doesn't only protect their war criminals, but also other kinds of criminals. And US public either doesn't care, or can't do anything.

I am not surprised. I was abused for a medical experiment at the age of 6, around 1985. This stuff still happens, but if you talk about it, people tend to not want to believe you, for their own peace of mind.
As long as these company investments are proximate to cities and towns where partners can find fruitful employment in other companies, children have access to good schools and activities and the various kinds of people required for life have easy access (medical, fire, cops, …). If the companies instead want a monoculture of single, childless workers it’s going to be (quite) unstable.
I don't understand the downvotes. I thought the same thing. I agree with the other complaint on the error for too few arguments being unfortunate, but the one with too many arguments is on point.
> I guess medical ethical reviews were invented sometime in the late 50’s then.

In the late 1970s, actually, and yet they weren’t put into standard practice across the board in every medical field until the 1990s in the US.

A "spud"?

That manages to seem both incomprehensible and very offensive at once, which an impressive trick. And not impressive in a good way.
I fear my sarcasm was a little too subtle ;)
What about the other benchmarks on the same site? https://docs.sciml.ai/SciMLBenchmarksOutput/stable/Bio/BCR/ BCR takes about a hundred seconds and is pretty indicative of systems biological models, coming from 1122 ODEs with 24388 terms that describe a stiff chemical reaction network modeling the BCR signaling network from Barua et al. Or the discrete diffusion models https://docs.sciml.ai/SciMLBenchmarksOutput/stable/Jumps/Dif... which are the justification behind the claims in https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.30.502135v1 that the O(1) scaling methods scale better than O(log n) scaling for large enough models? There's lots of benchmarks on that site which show things from small to large. And small models do matter too...

> If you use special routines (BLAS/LAPACK, ...), use them everywhere as the respective community does.

It tests with and with BLAS/LAPACK (which isn't always helpful, which of course you'd see from the benchmarks if you read them). One of the key differences of course though is that there are some pure Julia tools like https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/RecursiveFactorization... which outperform the respective OpenBLAS/MKL equivalent in many scenarios, and that's one noted factor for the performance boost (and is not trivial to wrap into the interface of the other solvers, so it's not done). There are other benchmarks showing that it's not apples to apples and is instead conservative in many cases, for example https://github.com/SciML/SciPyDiffEq.jl#measuring-overhead showing the SciPyDiffEq handling with the Julia JIT optimizations gives a lower overhead than direct SciPy+Numba, so we use the lower overhead numbers in https://docs.sciml.ai/SciMLBenchmarksOutput/stable/MultiLang....

> you must compile/write whole programs in each of the respective languages to enable full compiler/interpreter optimizations

You do realize that a .so has lower overhead to call from a JIT compiled language than from a static compiled language like C because you can optimize away some of the bindings at the runtime right? https://github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead is a measurement of that, and you see LuaJIT and Julia as faster than C and Fortran here. This shouldn't be surprising because it's pretty clear how that works?

I mean yes, someone can always ask for more benchmarks, but now we have a site that's auto updating tons and tons of ODE benchmarks with ODE systems ranging from size 2 to the thousands, with as many things as we can wrap in as many scenarios as we can wrap. And we don't even "win" all of our benchmarks because unlike for you, these benchmarks aren't for winning but for tracking development (somehow for Hacker News folks they ignore the utility part and go straight to language wars...).

If you have a concrete change you think can improve the benchmarks, then please share it at https://github.com/SciML/SciMLBenchmarks.jl. We'll be happy to make and maintain another.

Max out your retirement accounts into index funds.

Dont waste time living or workin in a place you dont want to be.
This blog is in the "Musings" section, and was written in 2012. So the landscape is different and the thoughts are probably not fully laid out, and I don't have any context on the author at the time.

But to me, in 2023, this post is such an odd take.

People not interested in being noisy on the Internet (or the walled gardens that today constitute the "public", attention-based Internet) in no way relates to _any_ of the numerous assertions he goes on to make about those hypothetical 99% of people.

Literally every take and even implied take (e.g. the silent 99% don't use technologies that iterate at high speed), seemed like a totally off-base generalisation in my experience.

As a counter point and friendly reminder, you don't have to feel pigeonholed by any or all of the assertions in this post just because you don't want to be noisy on the internet.
I think there's a spectrum of tech reduction tools, from a soft block (e.g. Freedom.to) and leading to the hard block (Intent Case)

For some folks always being connected is a hard and fast product requirement, but others are happy to forgo an urgent call. Note that a generation ago, any trip away from the house required you to accept that you wouldn't be available for a call
>when the cities can't be bothered to even make the lights flash at 3 AM, and instead are stopping me at every single light down a road for exactly zero cross traffic.

On the east and west coast, I feel like car sensing traffic lights are the norm.
it really depends on the kind of opportunities you are looking for. if i want to form a band or play in a music session then i need to find other players. a larger city is more likely to have players, so the opportunity does not exist until the people are there. same goes for creating a hackerspace or any other group around a topic that is only of interest to a small part of the population.

also networking. there are no opportunities to meet people unless a city is large enough to have events.

movies or theaters, museums, specialty shopping (like a comic book store). anything like that is only sustainable with a large enough local population.
It is indeed rather depressing.
Actually it would have to be numeric codes, as Assembly is also an abstraction. :)
Coroutines are not just the same as “virtual threads” (in a different lingo)

These concurrency models can be placed on a matrix based on stackfull/stackless and based on preemptive/cooperative. I think there are/were examples for all of them — the more interesting property of goroutines (and Java’s virtual threads) is turning blocking calls into non-blocking, by using the OS’s async IO behind the scenes for everything.
Where it becomes hard is non-English scifi. If you don't understand the language, do you pick the English or the native translation of for example Polish or Russian? Specially when those native translations are likely not too bad, albeit horribly expensive at this point.
Just make the same Javscript that provides random moves, make it play 100 games and take the average score.

Then do the same using GPT and compare the scores.

Anything else is just cherry-picking
I'm reading a biography on Erasmus, and he lived in England, had pupils there, made friends and visited the archbishop of Canterbury and even the king, not speaking English. He taught his pupils in Latin. English, or Dutch for that matter, was not a proper language.

So Latin wouldn't be really alive, but also not dead. It was still a second language to more than a few as late as the 16th century.
The whole concept of a database as a separate system is an abstraction. An extremely successful one.

Not that harsh but I do think that googling as well as ChatGPT will only yield in a superficial understanding of topics. For a deeper profound understanding, connections, complexities, etc. A different more holistic learning is required. Not sure how else to explain this.
True, but also Romanian (and Moldovan), and Ladino...

Living in central Europe for nearly a decade, it was fascinating to get drunk with groups of Romanians a few times, with only knowledge of Western Latinate languages. Sometimes you can just hear the meaning... but only if it's something 2 Roman legionaries might have said to each other 2 millennia ago.
One of the early projects I worked to teach myself networking was Port Knocking[1]. Think of it like designing a calling bell for your servers where they can smartly understanding who is doing the "knocking" on their ports. Writing it as a linux kernel module, with the low level cryptographic functions would be a great learning tool imo. I also wrote about my progress here[2] when I attempted this about 7-8 years ago.

I actually can't wait till I'm managed by AI. At least with an AI there's the high probability it will get better. In fact most likely it'll just be the same gradually improving system which I can converse with for the rest of my career.

Whereas with human managers who knows? Maybe they're good, maybe they're bad, it's a reset every time.

Or, we've noticed the above, thought that it was an outrage, and fixed it. In fact these days some argue we've swung to the opposite side, and the barriers to even harmless research have gotten onerous.

Trust isn't optional in a society. If you don't trust the "establishment", then somebody has to take its place, and they've got all the same problems, only in modern society they're all worse. People like Twitter celebrities and youtubers will gladly sell you all sorts of crap because a sponsor asked them to, and shield themselves behind "not financial advice", or a small "Sponsored by NordVPN" in the corner.

Some have their very non-neutral agenda, some have sponsors, some just get taken advantage of, some have a good presentation but reached the limits of their knowledge, and some are chasing audience numbers. Pretty much none of them have any real oversight on their content.
That's a very cynical view. It might be true, but I hardly think they were just waiting for the perfect opportunity. If it made business sense before, they would've already been halting their hiring.
You can also get your hands dirty with writing a proxy or a VPN which in my opinion also exposes you to a lot of low level stuff. My other suggestion would be malware reverse engineering but I don't think you are interested in systems/OS based on your post.
As you say, you don't study Latin for its own sake. My Latin classes taught me a lot about more about grammar, syntax and language structure than I got from other languages, and I think a big part of that is exactly because it's a dead language: since you don't need to teach pupils how to read or write, all effort can go into reading comprehension and text analysis, and eventually language theory.

Also, my teacher (at least for most of the years) was a language historian and would speak a lot about language development from proto-indo-european to greek to modern-day romance languages. For example, being aware of the r<->l and h->f consonant shifts from Spanish to Portuguese allowed me to more easily recognize unknown words when learning the latter.
All buildings have larger bins (between 240 and 1100 litres) on the outside or in a specified area. Those are picked up by the waste companies. There is no need to specifically place waste into a bag. You can just put it straight into the container.

We generally don't have all that much super sticky trash. We also simply clean our bins when needed. Our organic waste bin, for example is simply lined with an unbleached kitchen paper towel that gets dumped into the container as well.
Again, I hear art here often as "that nice cover illustration, or that 3d model". A bit like people talk about "content".

Art can be anything, and I definitely consider some videogames art. The same can be said about architecture.
>What bothers me about this post is the idea that I must be lagging behind on using the newest technologies

Is that an accussation though, or a compliment?

"Newest technologies" are for early adopters and hype suckers. Engineers use proven technologies, not just "newer" for the sake of it.
nice way to try and pump your stock price.

similar to that google guy who left because Google's AI is about to become a sentient, nice little boost to the retirement fund.
The company here is avoid this to some extent by selling the houses to the employees at a good deal. So they wont be paying rent for the rest of their lives to the company, and presumably they can sell the houses later. Basically sounds like they want to boost the housing supply in a small town.

It seems there's a bit of confusion about "liberalism" being the problem - although the paper does attempt to explain that defense experiments were actually conducted on behalf of a distorted claim of liberalism and a militarized, illiberal state version of it.

Much like the illiberal state socialism of the USSR and the illiberal state racism of Nazi Germany.

Probably the most useful thing you could do would be take any Android device (or iOS device with the bootrom exploit) and rebase the patches for it on mainline, clean them up and get them merged into mainline Linux. Same goes for any other device not supported in mainline really, but Android devices are almost always like this.

Along those lines, look at all the dkms modules in any Linux distro and try to talk to the module authors about mainlining, do the work needed if they agree to it.

Also, I have some ideas for Linux kernel things I noticed are needed in my branches of linux.git. I doubt I'll work on them any time soon, so feel free to use the ideas/code I've left in the branches.
