The complexity comes in the fact that there are different data formats and rules in play for almost every single management agency's permit/reservation system on Rec.gov - the JSON responses for, say, a trailhead in National Forest in Inyo Country, CA are different from a trailhead in National Forest in Deschutes County, OR. And those are both different for the JSON response format for a trailhead in the King Range National Conservation Area. Which is different from a trailhead in any National Park. And so on.

And all of these different permit systems trigger different forms, agreements, vehicle information collection, etc. once you move to the checkout stage. It truly is a massively complex system - if not technically, then logistically, by the sheer quantity of requirements-gathering and accommodation of hundreds of different individual land management agencies' unique systems for managing user access. I've read some of the source code for the web client (last I checked, they were still publishing source maps to prod) and it's a pretty impressive feat that it works and holds together as well as it does.

As you can tell from my comment above, I'm just as incensed about the business model as you are. It is highway robbery. Taxpayers subsidized the creation of the site, and now we're being doubly ripped off as a huge portion of the profits collected are being funneled straight back into the pockets of Booz Allen (and, no doubt, also being channeled into lobbying efforts designed to maintain this monopoly through the renewal process for the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act this October).

However, I don't think that unfairly diminishing the technical and organizational achievement the site represents is going to help with trying to find a solution to the economic grift that it also represents.

everytime there's articles about Airbnb, people talk about dirty places, hidden fees, chores, last minute cancellations, and more.
But for me they've only been great. I make sure to pick a property with good reviews . I book a place with a kitchen. And the first day of my trip I go grocery shopping. Then I simply make home cooked meals. The prices of Airbnb's are definitely more expensive than a few years ago, but the savings on meals evens it out.

So then, we agree that because PPP loans were a larger amount of money produced in the exact same fashion, it follows that PPP loans should be assigned a larger share of the blame than stimulus cheques to citizens, and accordingly any mentioning of one without the other is a disingenuous attempt at implying governments should not spend money on their citizens livelihood.

Understood.

Details are fine. But think about how this thing works. It does not think about your request. It comes up with the most probable answer. There is some tuning to imply self reflection, but that’s mostly fake. When you say “Do X, but if you can’t do X, do Y”, you may very well encourage the model to do Y without any qualitative assessment over whether it could actually do X.

Same for questions where you ask “is X good or bad? And why?”. It answers good or bad before it comes up with the reasons. That’s very plausibly ok, but it’s different from how people imagine it works and thinks.
Just asking the question implies you do not believe religious people are human beings with the same rights and privileges as the irreligious.

It seems like teachers' SAT scores are about average among all test-takers.

The College Board defines 'college ready' as 1010 or above[1].

From the most recent College Board report[0] (page 4), the average score for those taking the SAT in their final year of high school is 1050. (I couldn't quickly find the corresponding number for 2010, but AIUI SAT scores are quite stable over time.)

From the paper you quoted, the average score for teachers is 1030 or 1064, depending on what you look at:

Between 1999 and 2010, however, average scores for those certified increases 27 points to a score of 1030 but the average score for entering teachers increases 65 points to a score of 1064.

This heuristic that ads / promotions are bad serves us well the majority of the time. In this case - yes it is a promotion (i.e. it's a blog post), but I recommend you watch the video, it seems pretty cool!

Sometimes people release good products and somehow they have to communicate to us and promote it.

The issue isn't the ads it's the signal to noise ratio and filter mechanisms at our disposal.

The issue with objective truth in the platonist sense is that no one can know what it is without total system knowledge, which is physically impossible (if you disagree with that last bit, Heisenberg would love to know your location to hbar/p precision).

Said another way: we can make 'logically' true statements easily, but struggle with anything physical.
> On the other hand, people who have pragmatic and slightly selfish goals in addition to wanting the do good are more resilient. If the system change they envision doesn’t work out, they still have something to show for all their efforts. That keeps them grounded and calm for much longer in the same environment.

Nice commentary.

In general, I kind of live in fear of places that have made a lot of decisions already & seem to be doing ok with them. I don't want to work in a static environment. I don't want to work someplace that everything ticks along at. Being a little bit in demand, having everything a little bit screwy, is endless opportunities to go improve & help. It's messed up, but I fear so much what Big Tech life would be like, where there's decades of precedent binding us to most decisions, and numerous teams that own 98% of the stuff I have to work with.

I appreciate being able to have a wider-domain, where I can spend a day screwing around with CI/CD to make some wins. A little bit of dysfunction is, sort of, opportunity.
Maybe they're just apathetic or complacent? Almost like when a hobby feels more like a job or you just get bored with it.

It was always good. I used it to make my own tiling WM for windows, removing decorations and putting windows at fixed coordinates. The syntax is now better, but that doesn't change much.

For the many people who say they don't like AHK, I don't think a lot have actually tried to use it. It may be "dirty" but it makes it easy to do most of anything you can think about (it can even call dlls)
But that value depends on their duration and the current interest rate on bonds of similar duration. If bond/MBS buyers don't believe that the Fed will beat inflation back down to 2% then rates at 5-20year will rise very significantly! They have been doing this over the past year by setting the Fed Funds rate (and by QE buying bonds/MBS etc in extreme circumstances like 2020 and 2008 and then eventually unwinding with QT).

So, if they don't convince traders they will stop runaway inflation 5-20y rates could go to 10% or higher (inflation rate + net interest margin), which would absolutely crush long duration bond values! If you think a 10% fall in value is big, it could easily be 50% down and that would be a big deal for all banks.

Go look and see how long rates at 10y have changed with expectations over the last year as short 6mo have consistently risen.

Again you’re ignore the root cause for the proximate cause. A companies looks after their employees when they are forced to do so by market forces, unions, laws etc. None of which applied here.

> The company needs to lower costs, and do some layoffs, in order to make it more profitable.

That doesn’t explain timing as companies always want to be more profitable and Google was profitable before and after these cuts. So what prevented those cuts from happening sooner? It would have backfired if attempted sooner.

Thus the CEO’s decision to shaft these people is the result of those employees lack of economic, political etc power. If everyone would say quit for a better offer then he wouldn’t make that decision and thus wouldn’t get rewarded for the decision.
Sure, but the weirdness here is that the program is fully free to begin with, for commercial use even.

Tangentially related, sometimes I find Stacked Git helpful when figuring out complex features or refactoring. Until it's nearly finished I'm not sure what would be worthwhile submitting as a PR but once it's ready then several smaller PRs are much easier to understand.

It's local stacked PRs and you can jump between them to edit as the ideas evolve.

But if the nearby code is evolving quickly from other people this can be a bad approach because of merge hell when the work is finally submitted.
Google always hired more people than needed to run existing services. So overhiring is a standard procedure for them and would likely be repeated if the market becomes good again. In almost all the cases in the past it worked in their favor.

This is why placebos are controlled for in experiments. It isn't just to throw them away, but it is to measure the difference of efficacy vs placebo.

these are much cheaper to produce and run, not to mention more flexible than GPU’s for LLM training. as an added benefit you can write (if you were so inclined) hardware-level logic to whatever workload you want. reprogrammable as well.

-background : 4-5 years ago worked on embedded systems tech that used these for fintech. they seemed like the future back then and LLM workloads were barely a thing. Glad more people are learning about them.

Except he didn’t actually explain why and more specifically when just what.

The question isn’t why the CEO got rewarded for doing X, but what changed to allow him to make this now vs those same cuts happening 10 years ago. It’s not like Google was in an unprofitable downward spiral and needed cuts to turn things around the only change is how wildly profitable they are.
there's a hint that you are misunderstanding how things work a bit here. By the time you get to the footnote: "Unless you implement a CPU on top of the FPGA :)" you realize that of course FPGAs can be turing complete, but it's not really correct to say "on top of", more correct with be to say "implement a CPU with the FPGA. Secondly, you never say a CPU isn't really turing complete (footnote: unless you use JMP instructions). We would typically class machines class using the maximum possible because it's usually trivial, but uninteresting, to, for example, program or limit a Turing machine to not be Turing-complete.

Your other footnote is spot-on. I refuse to consider CPUs to be Turing complete (out of pedanticism) because given physical memory constraints. Realizable physical computers are, like all digital logic circuits) actually Finite State Machines with just really, really big state space (like 2^(~10^15) states). If you put every single flip-flop and DRAM bit back the way it was and execute the next clock, it will deterministically follow the same pattern. They aren't even PDAs (Push-Down-Automatons). EVERYTHING is an FSM (pedantically). Turing machines and PDAs are theoretically useful models for theoretical computer science and math, however. But not technically accurate.

FPGA's aren't CPUs that lack instruction pipelines. They are universal ASICs and/or digital circuits that are re-programmable. ANYTHING that can be accomplished with synchronous (clocked) digital logic circuit can be implemented with an FPGA, including CPUs, but also potentially many, many, other things.

Not to detract from this, I'd trust anything Chris does, but anyone who follows similar projects (Truffle Ruby comes to mind) knows that it's very easy to implement a tiny subset of a highly dynamic language and make it fast, it's insanely hard to scale it all the way up to the most dynamic of behaviors.

The lines above read to me as a bad sign that the author of the article isn't being very honest. It definitely is a snazzy demo hiding real life performance because one way to hide performance is to implement a very small subset and make it fast.

I'd rephrase it as "Apple is stuck in an abusive relationship in China". They would love to have some flexibility but options are pretty bleak. They tried to manufacture in the states more than once and ran into difficulties. They're trying to manufacture in India and running into problems there too.

This is before considering the sales within China which they must maintain to keep growth. There are no simple solutions here. The long term work is to restore some manufacturing outside of China but this is much harder than just setting up a factory as it requires the entire ecosystem of factories, ores, education, training, etc. With automation this might be doable but will probably take at least a decade of investment. A lot of it from the government which is the only body that can do that. Unfortunately, because bipartisanship is dead it's impossible for any side to carry out that required long-term investment in the market.

Reciprocally, it's just amazing how much better AutoHotKey is at scripting the computer is than everything else is. The language was clearly never the reason why AHK persisted.

There's works like AutoPy (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopy) and AutoPilot-rs (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopilot-rs), but they offer like 1/100th the capabilities AHK does.

Personally I think this kind of computer-control is the perfect environment for teaching computing. Rather than writing apps or webapps, I feel like the idea of just writing code to do what you the user would do anyways, but better, is a fantastic introduction to computing & programming. In my ideal world, we'd have an EVE Online server that specifically re-enables the game-client's python interpretter (and periodically does total wipes), so folks can learn to program by scripting not just their desktop, but a complex & interesting game, via it's rich api.

Are you guessing here? I don't really know what you mean by the JSON response (from who to who?).

I tried to look into whether recreation.gov has per-agency or even more granular schemas. I found a manual to the Recreation.gov agency portal that suggests the answer. Note that even though it's hosted on the usfs site it has no usfs-specific branding. The section "Adding New Inventory to Recreation.gov" doesn't describe any agency-specific options explicitly, though it does have vague manual processes that could in theory involve custom development.

I have to get back to parenting, so this will my last comment on this thread. I appreciate you taking the time :)

I just want to clarify two things:

1. I didn't state clearly my point about the NPV of unfunded pension liabilities. AIUI, SFUSD contributes to teachers' pensions in two ways. The first is a contribution at the same time the teacher is paid their salary (which would show up on the 'total benefits' numbers we've been looking at). The second is contributions made after teachers are retired, when the contributions made beforehand aren't enough to pay for the defined benefits. When you look at teachers compensation today, it may account for the former, but probably not the latter, even though that has real value, it's paid by the employer, and it has real value for the teacher.

2. When you say 'workers at McJobs', I presume you mean those performing low-skill service jobs. AIUI[0], very few recent college graduates enter those jobs, so they're probably not a useful reference group.
