There is no such thing as a free market, nor a centrally planned one, outside of thought experiments.

A real market is composed of discrete players (you never have unlimited options) with things like friction, collusion, switching costs and stickiness at all levels, cognitive overhead, conflicts of interest (a firm making suboptimal decisions because influential people in the firm will personally benefit from the decisions). There are natural monopolies and economies of scale, as well as insurmountable moats, intellectual property creating monopolies or deadweight loss, an omnipotent (unlimited money) central planning committee (central bank) making decisions that can directly affect you…

Conversely you cannot have true central planning because it essentially violates an economic version of the CAP theorem (you’ll never have synchronized perfect information in a way that’s fault tolerant) and assuming production is constrained, optimally balancing all constraints is NP-complete. But even beyond that you have incomplete or falsified information, defection (deviate from the plan due to disagreement) and corruption, some outcomes being inherently noisy or unpredictable, the need to delegate, lack of price discovery or disambiguating between stated and revealed preferences…

All we can do is try to patch on changes to any approach to address shortcomings. Although the strong rule of law and consistency in the US legal system makes things extremely stable, it also enshrines loopholes and bad outcomes, so in some ways I wonder if China’s system (which relies on its decision makers being relatively competent and benevolent-ish, which they’ve been very fortunate to benefit from since Deng) might be better given they can throw out rule of law to force outcomes.
If by doing things the way I need them to work now rather than the future lets me achieve the success, longevity, and ubiquity of TCP, I think I'm, fine with waiting until later to figure out things that don't matter right away.

Correction for the article: melatonin is available without a prescription in Canada (or at least Ontario) and in France. I know from personal experience. In the UK, however, I was surprised to see it required a prescription. I can’t speak for the other territories on the list, but I think the whole article might need a fact-check as a result. :)
Yes, but we are missing:

- vertical main menu
- pop up main menu under right-mouse button
- Shelf
- Workspace as native app (instead it was re-written in Carbon)
- robust support for Services

I'd give my interest in Hell for a way to install Mac OS X so that only Cocoa apps were loaded/available.

The NeXT was priced above a PC, but just below a SGI, DEC or Sun workstation. When compared to a top of the line PS/2 model 80 (at $4500 for the tower, and $1000 for the monitor, plus an extra $200 for Windows 386), the NeXT Cube ($6K or so) was a pretty good value because you got a laser printer, the FPU was included and the software library that came with it came with development tools (everyone else charged for them), FrameMaker, Mathmatica and a bunch of other titles that would have been $450 each on the PS/2.
Oh good, the commie brigade is here to tell us you have to pay individuals enough to live in a certain size apartment in the center of the city, while raising three kids as a single parent, and have more leftover for hobbies.

And if these people got paid whatever magical amount you deem appropriate, would you promise to stop complaining, or would you suddenly decide everyone deserves a five bedroom apartment?

"Must" can mean "required" or "to have an obligation to". Thus, for example, we are morally obligated to love our children. But "love" here is not meant in the desiring sense of love (eros, another Greek word) in which one desires something for one's own objective good, or even in the modern squishy sense of having fleeting pleasant or affectionate feelings for. Rather, something like agape (still another Greek word) is meant as parents raise their children primarily for the good and benefit of the children and the common good, not their own self-interest or their own pleasure, even if those elements are present or result secondarily (i.e., the pleasure of selfless acts is not the motive behind selfless acts for that would render them no longer selfless and the pleasure or liberty from self that could follow would not obtain).

> That's surprising. You'd think spreading the workload start over 10 seconds would lower the size of spikes (integrated over a second) by at most a factor of 10.

If the delay is at the reading side, away from Akami, through a cache, perhaps 10 concurrent requests for X would result in ten lots of data transfer as it isn't in cache yet, but 10 with a short delay is enough to prime the local cache on the first request before the rest start.

There are a number of reasons a sudden glut of activity could balloon bandwidth or CPU/memory costs more than you might expect.

Without a chunk more detail about the system in question, this is just random speculation of course.

Some monopolies are naturally occurring or at least much more efficient than competition provided the monopoly isn’t abused. In other cases, temporal monopolies happen simply due to competition (if Spacex’s starship becomes reality in the near future, they’ll have a monopoly on that tech for years or even decades) and technological advancement.

In some cases I think the government should simply operate (in the case of utilities) or heavily regulate monopolies while allowing them to exist. IMO a monopoly is only bad insofar as it overcharges customers, stifles innovation, and abuses its position to prevent competitors from arising or gaining market share. It’s not the monopoly itself that’s the problem
This article seems like Techdirt is trying to exploit the well-known Ed Sheeran copyright case to push their own agenda.

Notably Sheeran didn't say anything against copyright - just that this particular claim shouldn't have come to court.

I think most musicians would agree with that, but it's hard to lay that on copyright law exactly - at most it would be a tweak to make it harder to bring action for "sound-alike" songs.

Interestingly any change like that would probably make it harder for artists to bring action against AI-written works that sound like theirs.

Those numbers are a bit misleading because they split up the JetBrains products, making JetBrains look like a smaller market than it actually is. If you add up all their tools, they hit 94% to VS Code's 74%. Obviously there are a lot of people using multiple JetBrains tools and that bloats that number, but the huge difference demonstrates how flawed SO's numbers are for gauging market share.

Also, I suspect that most people who mark a JetBrains IDE also mark a secondary editor that's lighter weight, but it's hard to tell how that all breaks down with the way they present the data. I spend about 90% of my work day in WebStorm and occasionally move over to VSCode for loading a large directory that I don't want to index. When I filled out the survey, due to they way they worded it, I marked both tools.
I know what the paper says but actually using both, GPT-4 is far ahead of google and Deepl. I think the isolated one sentence datasets used for evaluations are no longer up to snuff.

The US undoubtedly engages in widespread propaganda, but I think they use more "open" methods. They won't clandestinely pretend to be your local neighbor on a Facebook group, but they will gladly plaster enticing high production quality recruitment ads on every surface and openly foot the bill for the American tanks and fighter jets in the next action movie.

The funny thing about propaganda is that it is still largely effective even when openly disclosed as such. The human brain is a sucker.

This could be a misunderstanding of the mechanisms involved. Research started with the knowledge that diets with plenty of K2 have positive health effects including a reduction in cancer. However, the usual way of increasing K2 in the diet is to eat more fermented foods. Fermented foods are also associated with healthy gut flora. It is quite possible that the K2 is not the key but rather what is going on is eating fermented foods helps maintain a healthy gut which then in turn leads to positive health effects. Just some speculation.
Yeah the author doesn't really explain why he thinks partiachy and slavery should 'totally make a comeback'. Thanks for making it clear.
Note that while Cantonese has the phenomenon of changed tones (變音 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changed_tone), it is not actually considered tone sandhi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_sandhi#What_tone_sandhi_i...).

Tone sandhi is phonologically motivated, i.e., the tone changes arise from the pronunciation of the surrounding words, and are thus largely predictable. Cantonese changed tones, however, are generally lexically motivated, i.e., the changed tone is part of the realization of the word itself. Cantonese changed tones are thus more akin to Mandarin's erhua phenomenon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erhua), which is also seemingly as random with regard to the words to which it applies.

> For Cantonese and Jyutping specifically, the tone sandhi is marked as, e.g., «faan4*2»

Note that the Jyutping standard actually doesn't specify how tone changes are marked. I believe the * convention originated at https://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/ to facilitate Cantonese learning. Wiktionary has adopted a similar convention but using a hyphen (-) instead (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:About_Chinese/Cant...).

This calculation is done using that $0.003 number for Ed Sheeran.

Spotify spent a long time in negations to get that price, and I'm not aware of any credible claims they pay higher rates to popular artists (outside perhaps limited time launch promotions)

I think the more interesting question is how much Sheeran gets vs his record company, but that isn't a Spotify thing.
The funny thing about the 200m WR rating on true diver's watches is that that's more than even 99.9% of divers are ever going to use. Recreational diving tops out at 40m (that's a deep dive!), let alone 200m. The actual number of people diving to deeper than that in an entire year, worldwide, is a 3 digit number.

Of course I say all that and yet I have a Seiko spring drive tuna 600m saturation diver, even though it's never been deeper than a few meters and very unlikely ever to do so. But the engineering is fun to appreciate even if it'll never do even 1% of what it's capable of.

Does this mean it has two separate batteries, or what? If only one battery, then you could keep it charged up on solar and only occasionally do a HR reading, without ever having to plug it in.

People don't seem to like that solution much either, just look at Uber et al.
No, just an ordinary family doctor. Coincidentally, my neighbor across the street, a 70-year-old woman, had her longtime family doctor retire. She was given a list of names recommended by her doctor. She called the first one to make an appointment and — believe it or not — received one for January 2025 (not the same doctor as me). I told her we should go as a couple to both appointments for moral support.

I occasionally working with WordPress sites, and I personally find ACF plugin as a smell when someone tries to bend WordPress into what it already is not.

Pretty much 100% of compromised WordPress sites I get are caused by a plugin like this, be it either a configuration issue or a vulnerability in code.
I agree with your general premise, but I think you left a couple of points of your list at the end:

it is obscenely expensive to keep training + there are other more low hanging fruit + you expect hardware to get better over time.

I don't think Altman is trying to fool anyone. Even if he were it wouldn't work. The competition is not that stupid and he knows that :)

It's just that hardware tends to get better at a rate that resembles Moore's law so in 18 months the cost of training a 100 mill dollar model is 50 mill dollar. You certainly can just throw money at the problem, but it's expensive and there are other options that are just as effective for now. Why spend money on things that are half as valuable in 18 months when you can spend money on things that don't devalue as fast like producing more/better data?

All that being said you can bet your ass there will be a gpt5 :)

Mine failed:

> Based on the information you provided, "If it rains today, I will drive home," we can infer that rain is a sufficient condition for you to drive home. However, you mentioned that you did not drive home. This means that it is not guaranteed that it did not rain because there might be other reasons why you didn't drive home. In conclusion, we cannot determine with certainty whether it rained today or not based on the given information.

Prompting "use logic" resulted in a correct answer.

I coined the term "Xenoserver" back in 1999, for a paper in IEEE HotOS proposing an architecture for allowing systems in core networks to safely accept and execute code from untrusted users (for a fee, of course!): https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/papers/1999-hoto...

I was inspired by the word "xenos" (meaning both stranger and guest, or in combination a stranger who you invited into your home) rather than the word "xenia" for the general concept of hospitality extended to such a stranger [EDIT: since I wasn't familiar with the word "xenia"].

The Xenoserver project at Cambridge University developed this idea, and eventually focused around the hypervisor, which took on the name Xen.

Hahaha. I hate my work's insane 1:1 scheduling and flex meetings that throw themselves around. No one really wants to be the dick who cancels on everyone.
> Why would someone want to do that?

Because for example you have BI reporting queries that need to join across schemas, and it's the most cost effective way to do that. I've seen that kind of thing both through ETL and going through normal service APIs, and both are way more expensive (in developer time and compute resources) than e.g. doing a normal db query against the slave.

A shared database will also make me effective use of resources than if you try to manually assign them to split databases.

If you need cross service transactions, it's easier to have the db do that than to implement 2pc.

The real question is why split it? If you can fit on one machine, there's not much reason not to. Like the previous poster said, you can use separate schemas or table permissions with service accounts to keep logical separation.
Or even through SQL views, if applicable.

Heh, you can get much better quartz watches than that if you're willing to pay for it. I have a Grand Seiko 9F super high accuracy quartz watch (SBGP017 is the model number if you're curious) that has gained just a little over a second in the year that I've had it. Citizen also makes high end quartz watches with similar accuracy (look up the Chronomaster).
I understand better, thanks for the explanation.

To me, what you're looking for doesn't exist. Ignoring Scrum, the question is "how do we know our engineers are effective?"

You know Scrum's attempt to answer that. Regardless, no matter what methodology you pick - it's bad. But, you have to answer it. Otherwise engineering is a black box without a way to peer in.

I know many engineers would prefer it that way, but that's just not realistic.

In the end the whole thing has to be an agreement between people.

The Ancient Greek word “δαίμων” referred to a lesser god linked to a place (like the spirit of the hearth) or a person (like a guardian angel). Latin took this idea into the related word “genius” which in modern Romance languages can mean either an intelligent person or a person’s mood. In Spanish, “estar de mal genio” means “to be in a bad mood”. So then to have “ευδαιμονία” can mean “to be in a good mood” although it’s probably meant to be more permanent than that.
