Weapons of mass destruction? Governments lie. Politicians don't stop lying. Look up a video of British politician Matt Hancock "crying" about covid - it's brazen. I understand why people push back; I don't believe a word that comes out of governments. To what degree (ahem) are the meteorologists at fault? I don't know, but I'm reminded of Neil Ferguson whose models were news here on HN and elsewhere. Scientists get grants just as politicians get lobbied.

If you look at the natural experiment on that in society right now, much worse.

Many people today do math only with a calculator and correspondingly lack any sort of numerical reasoning skills whatsoever, despite having learned both mental math and numerical reasoning in school. That growth of innumeracy coincides with the rise of calculators and computers who do it for you.

Also, students are taught in more advanced classes to use calculators (and later computer algebra systems) as a tool. This comes after they have learned the basics, not as a replacement for the basics.

Writing (hello ChatGPT) and math are like muscles: use it or lose it. If you can't do the basic versions, you can't do the harder stuff either.

Technically, for AI, you need to accelerate numerical non-linear algebra calculations, which take the general form of matrix multiplication, but interpose non-linear functions at key points in the calculation.

A less distorting mechanism is for CA to provide re-insurance to cover the massive catastrophic risk, while allowing providers to service the everyday risk.
CA already backstops earthquake insurance in a similar way.

You do lose the market signals about the real cost to insure when you do this though. Ultimately we have to change where we build but that's a HUGE undertaking and it's unclear where the political will for that will come from.

I found the paper didn't live up to its claims. It said:
the ever-changing behavior of these SoCs is also visible via internal measurement sensors, allowing us to distinguish between executed instructions, and even different operands of the same instruction

But when you read further and see what they tried:

We then selected one Arm instruction from each data-processing bucket,testingstores(str),AESinstructions(aese, aesmc), rotate right (ror), bitwise and (and), and both integer and floating-point addition (add, fadd) and multiplication (mul, fmul). We run each instruction in a loop on all available P-cores on each test device

What they did is define a handful of known workloads, with very different power profiles. And then they find that they can tell them apart by looking at the power of the chip. Well, duh.
I guess I have a few questions.

1. Why are returns on equity inherently favored versus returns on debt?

2. How is new money created as productive capacity increases?

3. How are you going to have an efficient stock system when every transaction requires immediate settlement?

4. Why do the securities regulators need to go away in a hypercharged securitized society?

5. How are people borrowing hard currency in their road to serfdom? I thought there was no debt?

6. When you say debt is the same thing as equity, are you saying that in a stylized Modigliani-Miller sense or do you literally think debt and equity get similar treatment in the capital stack?

7. Do you realize that everyone debt is someone else’s asset?

Don’t use GPT for fact finding. Use it for synthesis when you already have the facts.
Continuing from above — in “Indian Matchmaking”, what pops up over and over again is that you will never have “100%” of what you are looking for in a partner.

Every young person she helps with always start a list of qualities of their ideal partner, some of them are really small things. Yet despite telling them, it is not “100%”, they can’t let that go even before dating starts. And then you see how it sets the tone for the dates and all the drama that comes of it, and they have not even married yet.

I remember watching that and thinking, yeah, that’s obvious. Glad I know better.

But thinking about all of this, I realize, it doesn’t end at the dating. Your partner wasn’t “100%”, and as people grow and change, they are not “100%” different ways, over the years. There are different things that comes up in which to let shit go.

It might be why arranged marriages and strong cultural values around it works. There is no illusion of an ideal partner to begin with. (And you get the shadow side too, like anything else when there are bad actors)
Defect isn't the right word to use for something that is part of a process that seems to play out in every instance we are aware of.

I think a part of it is waiting for the point of time when overproduction from renewables is to the point that we regularly hit 0 (or negative) prices for some parts of the day. Then you basically only run it during those times when electricity is almost free.

> > Ancient human brains and intelligence are identical to modern human brains and intelligence

> No.

> You might have a link to some book that says otherwise, if so I would look at the authors as slightly dumb related to that.

When I said ancient himans I meant early homo sapiens. I have looked into this before and while the brain has evolved over the time of homo sapiens, it is very much the same core brain. And from what I can tell from my research, the homo sapiens brain has been relatively unchanged since about 100,000 - 200,000 years ago, well before any writing or technological developments. Again, knowledge and technology are not requirements for intelligence.

For your kid argument, you would have to argue that the last 5-10% of brain development accounts for the majority of human intelligence. I think that's a tough hill to climb.

> The distribution of genders across occupations reflects the biases deeply rooted in our society, with women often being confined to roles such as administrative assistants and secretaries

There are many causes that explain the distribution of genders across occupations. This kind of univariate, knee-jerk analysis is comforting, I'm sure, because you can explain everything through a single lens, but I seriously doubt that bias is even in the top five most significant factors that explains the distribution.

Your lines drawn are odd to me. Billionaires are regular Joes but with a lot more influence and buying power. Instead of the plane ticket for a week vacation, it’s a rocket program to get one ride to space.

A single rocket launch is easily the equivalent of 10 average Americans yearly co2 production. There are hundreds (thousands?) of people employed to make the things go, all of which has its own carbon footprint. There are many rockets launched and engine tests in the development of a rocket program. In 2022 SpaceX launched 180 successful rockets. Without private jets and carbon emissions of other business practices, we are already at a multiplier of over a thousand for a single billionaire. Ten billionaires produce a small towns worth of co2 (again, without private jets and extended effects of their business models)

When we look at the average Joe who can not afford to live close to work or buy an electric vehicle, it gets even harder to try and say, “The problem is created by you and needs to be solved by you.”

The problem is all of ours. You, the reader of this comment and me, the writer, are both part of the problem and solution. People with a lot of influence that control information are huge multipliers in solving or prolonging the problem. That is why huge corporations shifting the blame and disrupting the truth is such an issue.

Same in the Netherlands. I look around and think "yup, that's why I'm paying taxes".

What I can't fathom though, is what what goes on in England. They pay just as high taxes, and it looks like a dump. Broken roads, rubbish strewn everywhere, take-your-life-in-your-hands "healthcare system", soul crushing training camps posturing as schools, I could go on, but it's essentially every aspect of life. This has nothing to do with Brexit either, as it's been like this since I can remember, going back 30 years.
They don't bail out the insurance companies though, so those companies have no incentive to play ball in CA if it's unprofitable or risky to them.

Update to Limits to Growth: Comparing the World3 Model with Empirical Data [pdf]
The situation sucks, but their continuing to live there and be insured has to be subsidized by somebody somewhere. The area is clearly insanely risky to the point where no premium justifies offering coverage.

If coverage was offered, who should be the one subsidizing it? Private companies? No way, they never would. Government? That's just a regressive policy funneling money to a relative well-off (homeowners) group of people.
Unpopular opinion: Good. Now if the state of CA would also institute policy that homeowners affected by disasters will not be bailed out we can get somewhere productive. Want to live somewhere with a massive and well-known chance of wildfire, mudslide, or earthquake destruction on top of absurd property prices? Fine, you own the risk (and associated cost) of that. Incentivizing bad decisions is not a viable long-term strategy.

I would say the same should go for Arizona, Florida, and Texas, all of which will see an increase in risk from climate change. Feel free to move there, but don't ask for a handout when you get punched in the face economically. The evidence is clear, although mandatory disclosure of the climate risk during a real estate transaction is a gap to be closed.

> Homeowners are flocking to the likes of Florida and Texas, despite the growing threat of climate-related weather disasters, according to data from LexisNexis Risk Solutions reported by the New York Times.

> Property insurance costs are rising across the country, with premiums up an average of 21 percent since 2015. Those bumps are significantly higher in states that carry more climate risk, however, including Florida (57 percent) and Texas (40 percent).

On the other hand, CDR determines the floor price of removing that pollution. Less arm-wavy than current proposals for determining carbon taxes amounts.

> So yes, of course history tends to be written by the winners. But luckily there is a dedicated band of highly trained, poorly paid and badly dressed historians out there trying to circumvent that.

Duh. But these unsung heroes don't have the means to pump out an endless amount of hollywood movies, cop dramas, and historical pieces. Even if one is educated and smart, they don't get to decide what society, at large, has accepted as truth. Even these days, I'd think propaganda is most potent once it reaches word of mouth.
It does make you think about that process, Leonardo da Vinci for example was already training at ~14 due to his father's status letting him train under the renowned Verrocchio. We already see several things here: parents with enough resources to seek strong mentors where they cannot be, wanting to foster specific skills, and a kid showing up consistently.

Potentially, our extreme infantilization of kids and teens (helicopter parenting, baby voice talking, avoiding responsibilities/recognition of skill, etc) have likely been a huge reason why many are stuck with this "fixed mindset" noted in the article.

It feeds into the myth as well, someone like Leonardo appearing in public "fully formed" would seem like he was god-like when you're the same age.
> premiums just keep shamelessly going up 20-30% / year

Have you ever tried doing home repairs? Those costs go up 20-30% per year.
Pretty short sighted analysis of my post.

The companies I'm talking about do this since more than 50 years, that's why the infrastructure wasn't changed when the costs would have been lower because there was more time This changed would have benefited the poor too.

Now the time is running out and they choices are they suffer now because of higher costs or suffer later from the effects of climate change. They are the victims one way or the other.

I doubt one is far from the other.

Shoveling IOPS into a bus is an easily parallelizable problem, while NAND-flash memory has a very high theoretical floor on its capacitance. Any good engineer would optimize the CPU part up to the point where it's only a bit worse than the flash, and stop there because there isn't much gain on going further.

If that's the case, you will see the CPU being the bottleneck on your device, but it's actually the memory that constrains the design.

That is, unless the CPU comes from some off the shelve design that can't be changed due to volume constraints. But I don't think SSDs have that kind of low volume.

From what I see in the comments about San Francisco (I'm a neophyte about it, never having even visited), it does not seem like people are desirous of less regulation. It seems that a tent city/open drug market is about as unregulated as it gets. (I get that ignoring regulations is different from removing them, though the practical difference seems small). I'm also suspicious of the idea that there's some great supply of land or buildings available for cheap housing if only it was deregulated; isn't San Francisco a small place?
A query of that size will likely not benefit from a GET anyway so use a POST.

Hi! Author here.

I've looked into pydoit multiple times and I would love to try it. There are a few reasons that make me go back to make (no pun intended!).

* It comes pre-installed on most UNIX operating systems. Yes, macOS ships an older version, but it works in most cases. This makes bootstrapping projects easier.
* I like how simple it's to get started with a Makefile when you just need a few tasks. Although I admit, big Makefiles can become hard to maintain.

I've recently experimented with using Makefiles as an ETL orchestrator, and it's becoming quite messy. I believe pydoit is the perfect replacement candidate. I just haven't had time to try it.

Edit:

Another thing I like about Makefiles is that you can keep the "hackiness" of shell scripts, manipulate the environment [0], etc. I guess you can do the same with other tools, but I find it easier to reason about those useful "hacks" in Makefiles.

How do you achieve deduplication with S3?
One advantage of GET is I can just copy the URL and share it. The article makes no mention of that.

While I love the proposal (apart from the name, I can see the SEARCH verb being used for something that's not search), they should also address the URL share-ablity aspect.

Something like https://google.com/search<some-special-character><query> where query can be arbitrarily large (>2000 URL length restriction) and the browser is smart enough to treat only https://google.com/search as the URL and anything after that as the body. The complete "URL" can be big and shared anywhere else.
