> Because of the way limit order books work, they cannot possibly receive worse prices due to the presence of the market maker's orders

The (HFT) profit has to come from somewhere. And I'm pretty sure they come from the other market participants. If that's the case, clearly some market participants are getting a worse deal than they'd otherwise have gotten.
At the time scale of seconds, trading is a zero sum game.
Perhaps there's something I'm missing?

> is actually called out elsewhere in this comments section as a value-destroying activity that reduces liquidity and therefor at the margin causes less sophisticated traders to get worse prices.

Yes that's how I also understand it. Is this description incorrect?

> If someone is regularly noticing things and adjusting their price in a tenth of a second, it seems likely they are engaged in some form of automated trading.

I'd consider automated trading and HFT to be orthogonal concepts. I totally see the benefit of automating trading, but I don't see the benefit of HFT. The 100ms number was selected small enough to be faster than any "real" "tangible" "physical" process in the economy, but still way slower than HFTs.

There is a difference between text and language and so far LLMs have told us nothing about language. LLMs being able to generalize to languages with a much smaller training corpus shows that maybe Chomsky is right about universal grammar.
My partner that is just learning programming, first asks the doubts to CHAT-GPT and most of the time the explanation and details are good, specific to her issue and easy to understand.

Compare that to a list of examples and documentation on generic issues/topics, without ever going into the specifics of a reasonable question.

Apply this to any kind of knowledge.

I think that it is a wonderful tool for education, and it is indeed changing the pace at which people learn.
It’s a significant misunderstanding of Chomsky’s life’s work to think that ChatGPT would prove it wrong. Chomsky’s primary claim is a claim about how language acquisition works in humans. He argues, for example, that certain locality constraints on linguistic dependencies are ‘built in’ and not learned inductively. Thus a human does not ‘learn’ that (i) is ambiguous and (ii) is not:

(i) How often did you tell John that he should take out the trash? [how often did you tell, or how often to take it out]

(ii) How often did you tell John why he should take out the trash? [only means how often did you tell]

Nothing that ChatGPT can do suggests that Chomsky was wrong about this kind of thing. It’s really more of a blow to a certain kind of work in AI that was partly inspired by Chomsky – but not something that he himself ever took much interest in.

Now it’s true that Chomsky appears to be in the camp that says ChatGPT doesn’t really understand anything. But the focus of his own work has never been on debunking AI, or making claims about the true nature of understanding, or anything of that ilk.

I guess my comment was also in reaction to the OP which sounded so absurd to me I almost thought it was parody. Af root, my response, upon further reflection, is that if all these gadgets cause so much consternation, maybe they are more trouble than they are worth? Less is more perhaps!
Right. It's like saying "90% of what people who can't make rent do is motivated by getting money", or "over 90% of what starving people do is motivated by getting food".

There's a hierarchy of needs, and met needs are not that important any more. i.e. "money is only important if you don't have any" applies to most things, not just money.

Of course also, the "need for fame" is not universal. When taken to extremes, it may even be a pathological outlier. As is the need for lots of attention from large numbers of potential sexual partners. As is the need for the second billion dollars.

It's almost like with Python you have a spectrum of aesthetics and maintainability. The "most aesthetic" (concise and readable-as-plain-English) code involves a lot of magic (metaclasses, dynamic dispatch etc.), so it's better left to foundational libraries with extensive testing by thousands of developers.

Except they probably have a ton of asserts and type hints under the hood, so only the interface is "aesthetic". And if you just want to write a maintainable code, it's less work to just stick to simpler and uglier constructs with explicit types.
I'm not familiar with the case, but isn't he essentially fighting to stay in UK prison rather than being moved to the US? Sure, he's also fighting to get out of UK prison, but the main fight is, not getting extradited. This boils down to a preference of where to be imprisoned?
Honest question, how would he do that? How would he stop being famous?

What is the upper bound to human productivity? Can we define it?

A simplistic counter argument might suggest that given enough technological advancement, humanity would expand beyond the finite limits of the Earth. However, it is also probable that technologies which are inconceivable to us today will become available in the future. How this will change our understanding of the Earth's perceived "ecological limits" is unknown.

As we project out into the future, we are dealing with things which are known to be unknown-unknowns.

The more damning indictment of the Club of Rome's agenda and philosophy is the dark history of Eugenics. Paul Ehrlich wrote in favor of forced sterilization:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Population_Bomb#:~:text=Th...

A better question which illustrates the underlying philosophical issues might ask: What is the greatest good? An unspoiled vision of nature as idealized by contemporary elites? Or productivity gains which ease the human condition and lift the masses out of poverty?

From my perspective this is the underlying issue with the environmental movement as conceived by the Club of Rome, the World Economic forum and other globalist organizations.

So you know what I find super weird is that - despite my other comment to you earlier about using vi since the early 90s - I can’t actually name the key bindings for vi with much certainty.

What can .NET do that Python+mypy cannot?

Whilst I agree with this stance to some extent, we should be clear that Python is not in fact the panacea you've made it out to be here. It is very possible that a particular problem requires performance Python can't match, so that any Python solution will be too big/ slow/ clumsy and must be rewritten in a better language. It is also very possible that a particular problem requires safety Python can't match, so that any Python solution will be too dangerous and must be rewritten in an appropriate safe language to avoid unacceptable losses.

I'm sorry, but you don't appear to know the history of or what you're talking about.

The collapse of mental healthcare in the US was due to JFK admin's hasty transition from institutional to community-based treatment without a functioning parallel system. And, it remained unfinished without a proper replacement because subsequent administrations neglected it.

Reagan finished it off by ruining California's mental healthcare system and then the country's. The Regan's M.O. was to defund or ignore anything they couldn't relate to. How many Americans died needlessly from inaction on HIV/AIDS and manufactured crack epidemic as part of Iran-Contra is up for debate.

As such, in the modern day, many persons who need treatment do not receive it. And those who cannot function are often left to remain homeless and on the fringes.

Interestingly, the Cook County Sheriff's Office (Chicago) admins one of the more effective community mental healthcare systems because it's cheaper than locking people up and throwing away the key or bringing them to the ER every other night. Mental healthcare saves money, saves lives, and saves misery.

You might think that naïvely, and it makes sense, but I think it's actually the opposite way; the dark web is highly compartmentalised it seems to me. Most people who use the dark web genuinely(i.e not just exploring out of curiosity) need it for one thing, and only one thing. Whether it's drugs, illicit porn of various genres, political forums, hacker forums. Illicit porn especially seems to be banned from any site not specifically set up for it(just like regular porn on the regular internet, I guess). I have no idea what the sites that do allow it looks like , but probably they're highly specialised like everything else I've seen on the dark web.
My reaction was also rooted in my own experience of being so crushed down by the day-to-day responsibilities involved in keeping the kiddo on the right path, going to work, keeping house, that I can’t imagine having time to AI automate my mood lights.
You have valid points. To be fair to Tim, he’s quit so many things that use to make him famous and even left California to Austin, Texas in 2015 when that was unheard-of.

This is why I am starting to think that it is very important for us to be able to "introspect" and reason about the thoughts/feelings we're having. It allows us to have an internal feedback loop that I think a lot of people lack.

I apologize for the somewhat off-topic nature off this comment, but it really irritates me when I see the website for a product with competition, go to their sitemap, and see this blatant SEO gaming. For example, I went to their FAQ (https://www.dragonflydb.io/faq) expecting things about their database, instead I get a bunch of copycat answers to weird questions intended to drive traffic to their site when people ask questions about other databases. I see many application sites doing this nowadays, and it makes me not want to use them. I imagine with GPT this is very easy to generate now
> Streetcars and trains are more efficient at bringing people to places that most people want to go.

They rarely are. Between walking to the stop, waiting for train/bus, time on train/bus, then walking from the stop - car is almost always faster. Not to mention, all that walking outside in foul weather and sitting in enclosed places with lots of strangers will get you sick regularly. That's my experience, from European cities with good public transport systems.
The attacks from Gaza are targeted at civilians with the intention of killing civilians. They are also launched from civilian areas inside Gaza.

The Israeli retaliations are targeted at the militants with the intention of killing the militants. The strikes are incredibly surgical and despite needing to happen in civilian areas usually only kill the targeted militants.

But not always.

Still much much better than any other military that's tried to do surgical strikes in civilian areas.

> [...] which notes that the pursuit of efficiency suffers from diminishing returns, whereas abundent energy does not.

But it does? For example, if we put more and more energy into making trains move fast, the returns will diminish. It's simply not worth it, considering cost and energy net stability. I did not read the book you are referring to, so maybe the context is different in the book.

Somewhere that energy must come from and at some point it is going to hit us, when we use too much energy for things. In the short or the long run.
Real-world "things we ran into" stories like this are super helpful when choosing a service or technology.

Unfortunately, I have a similar experience with Firebase, where I wish I would have known that:

* Don't like the text of your Firebase Auth SMS verification message that we send on your behalf -> tough luck

* Your app name is longer than 15 characters? We are not going to include that hash in your Firebase Auth SMS message that is required by Android to perform an automatic login.

* Global Firebase Auth SMS pricing does not work you economically? Welcome to implement the whole thing yourself anyways.

* Dealing with development environments is flakey, as Firebase's emulators work 98% similar to production, but you will regularly hit things that are different.

* You can't completely automate environment creation/tear down, as not everything is covered by Terraform or Google's own APIs, so you will end up doing manual things in their admin interface.

* Real-time subscriptions in Firestore end up not being worth the tight schema coupling between client and server, as you can't control when the updates fire and you end up with a lot more unintended side effects than what this technology benefits you.

So after a year of workarounds you finally end up deeply understanding the trade-offs involved in Firebase and make the decision that its downsides exceed its out of the box benefits. :(

Hi kovac. This is the internet. You don't pay for things. What the hell are you doing?

You guys need to stop paying for crap. This stuff has been historically free. With more and more people paying for things that have been free, pretty soon they'll be trying to charge for BROWSERS. Hi. KNOCK IT OFF.
Everything you just said is true for Typescript, as you can set it up as strict or as forgiving as you like, and writing one off scripts for node is just as easy as for Python. But unlike Python, it has a great type system.
Funny. I just started a side personal project and decided, since I didn't use types much at work to just try out a bunch of the newer python features. My code came out pretty much exactly like the blog.

But I've never coded in Rust. I could have written the exact same blog (excepting maybe the last bit) and called it "writing Python like it's Scala".

Well, yes. I can't watch most new movies anymore, because the abuse of visible CGI breaks the charm completely and throws me out of the story (when there is one, which is not often). But people seem to be happy with all those superhero movies? And since they are, why not make them entirely with machines?

What I think (hope) will happen is that there will be a kind of schism; mainstream will go full-AI like the author describes -- that's just inevitable, the convenience and economies of scale are just to great for an industry to ignore. And then there will be a resurgence of small-scale indie productions, almost home-made, that a small number of people will share by word of mouth.
