In an effort to find coming ground, I’ve found it’s better to argue the idea that humans should do everything we can to control climate.

Most people I know who reject the evidence of climate change seem to be into consuming and building lots of stuff, so this angle seems to appeal to that mindset.

It makes me think—maybe it’s a complete waste of time to try to “convince the other side” or “change their minds”. What if instead we agree on an outcome, like complete and total control over the earths climate? Would that help getting folks to run in the same direction?

If you think about it; the logical conclusion of humanity in our solar system is building a Dyson sphere around the sun and controlling climate for a huge population.
Has the academia established clear standards on what is competent work and what is not? It occurs to me that while a small subset of papers stand out, many papers are struggling with conforming to basic practices like publishing runnable code and data, keeping them up to date with latest libraries and models within a year after the paper is published, and demonstration of performance in varied, potentially subjective ways, rather than picking a random benchmark and showing accuracy improvements by 0.01% and call it scientific.

Is it just me, or if for the majority of papers, the effort required to understand and get value out of the paper is so much higher than the effort put in by the authors and reviewers to publish it?
While some of these solutions are good, I don't think any of them will make it through congress until well after Citizens United is appealed. TBH, trying to fix any problem of consequence in the US requires a functional Supreme Court, which we don't have.

I think they have, and they just don’t give a shit. The TikTok/Twitter/political hot take repost sewer of /r/all can practically be automated. The value they see is advertisements to those who consume that drivel, and the high value of enterprise (firehose access), not (say) modifying the API to serve ads to users of /r/AskHistorians.

If Spez had an honest bone in his body, he’d have just said they don’t want the API for third party clients anymore, for the plebs or the “Landed gentry”, and that they want to shift towards the enterprise focus of reselling that firehose of garbage because apparently you can make an LLM out of it! The money has stopped, and we're not profitable, so the time and capital required to add advertisements and targeting to the public API versus whatever crap they’ve built out over the last few years doesn’t make any financial sense.

When they can just sell the firehose of garbage instead. Of course.

> Our results suggest that it can give large improvements when training for a specific benchmark.

> improved the execution speed of the program for which the order was optimized between 0.8% and 23.0% with 7.7% on average.

Single-digit speedup is not worth it IMO, and the wide range (<1% - 23%) probably means that you specialize for some tasks at the expense of other types of tasks, which is not for everyone's interpreter.

One use I can see for it is to compile multiple inner loops and have the interpreter switch between them (probably manually), if that can get us the yummy 20% speedup. Core primitives and dispatchers are usually not the biggest part of interpreters, after all. Maybe in this scenario the core primitives could also benefit from small semantic changes, like no bounds checking for instance.

>Tax law favors debt, where interest is deductible as a business expense, over dividends

Taxation is another reason why buybacks are preferred over dividends: dividends are taxed as ordinary income but selling stock held for more than a year is taxed at the long term capital gains rate.

The IRA added a 1% tax to buybacks, but to equalize it fully either you'd need to reduce tax on dividends, extend the LTCG horizon past one year, or just eliminate the lower LTCG rate.
Oh, the rabbit hole goes far deeper than this.
this misses the structural analysis. As Zizek says, easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Critiques like this are thinking deep inside the box. The freezer protection inside the bubble wrap inside the box inside the shipping box.

in our current system, do these jobs serve a function? Yes, sure. The institutions have to be fed statitics about the corporation because that's how money is generated; the lawyers have to keep an eye on admissions and lawsuits because there are constant legal challenges, or the threat of them.
The point is that modern capitalism is set up to require them. It's not necessary. The nurses reporting numbers to number-collector jobs is actively harmful to medical care. A system where students sue universities is very often actively harmful to education. Our system has been set up to support and require all these support desk jobs that add no value to the thing these institutions actually make.
Flash was excellent for making buttons grow/shrink. So much so that many sites had flash-based navs driving static html pages in the top row of their table layouts.

Of the 10 most popular multiplayer games in 2023[0] seven of them owe their core mechanics to mods / flashes of brilliance from a handful of amateurs.

A more or less correct history of their origins:

- Four of the games on that list are battle royale games, which started life as a somewhat popular Minecraft mod and really took off with "Battle Royale" - a mod of "Dayz" which itself is a mod of "ARMA II". It's mods all the way down.

- Two are tactical FPS games, which owe a huge chunk of their mechanics to "Team Fortress" a Quake mod and "Counter Strike" a Half-Life mod.

- One is a MOBA, which started life as "DotA", a Warcraft III mod.

Of the other three, one is Minecraft. Created by a solo dev, and I expect its moddable nature has helped its multiplayer popularity significantly.

One is Roblox. Created by two devs, and is itself a game creation system.

The final one is Genshin Impact - something of a an outlier in terms of team size and genre origins.

There's lots of reasons you may need updates anyway. We've seen components which die after an internal counter overflows some amount of days. (Was that SSDs?) Customers will find issues you didn't know about. You'll need to get extra metrics out of remote systems. And many others.

I mean, I've come from the other end and find manual memory management hard. I've picked up a lot of Rust, but there's still bits around pointer manipulation and bit fiddling where I just try stuff and see what works.

Software development is a big subject. It seems pretty natural to me that if you've mainly focused on one area, you'll have to go back to the basics if you want to do stuff in another area. And that will make things like CSS feel hard for you, but really trivial for me, whereas low-level stuff will be obvious for you, and I'll struggle to get my head around it. That doesn't speak to some objective scale, just personal experiences.
It would be cool to see this compared with a more simple bin packing technique, or even just stuffing the most commonly used instructions at the top and those ordered by size.
What I meant is that I want algorithm suggested content come to me automatically like it happens in Twitter or Reddit.

In Reddit, you can sub to r/math and r/programming with a single account and have content appear on your feed.

In Mastodon, I need to explicitly follow accounts from other instances and get the content they post, or repost.

This is very bad to me.

In FB there are groups, in Twitter, you just follow people, in Reddit there are subs. And entire different instants for different communities? Nah I simply don't like it.

I want to be able to follow whole _instances_ rather than follow people from instances.

This reads a bit like a complaint that markets are irrational.

Lots of people lose money in markets by betting on bad ideas, or companies that are obfuscating their underlying weaknesses.

That's part of the purpose markets serve: Moving money from things that suck value into things that add value. If the OP knows better than the market, hopefully they're shorting Facebook stock and, when that plays out, they'll invest their gains in something new that produces real value.

Of course, markets can remain irrational longer than it takes to write an embittered blog post...
At least the tulip mania was purely derivatives. So loss to real economy was probably rather minor. The people could have gambled that money in other ways and it just moved around.

Typical Intel offering is 1.5-2TB per socket. Socket scales up to 8 (though the price increase 2->4 is very steep). Memory itself is registered ECC DIMMs (which is even lower cost than consumer DIMMs/unbuffered ECCs), but to get to 1.5TB density you need low-rank (LRDIMM) modules, which gives x2 capacity but at a higher price.

> Says you, about an arrangement that doesn't involve you.

This is something that was also said by the judge in the 1907 Australian Harvester Decision which set a set a ‘living’ or ‘family’ wage.

It was ruled to allow an unskilled labourer to support a wife and three children, to feed, house, and clothe them.

This became the basis of the national minimum wage system in Australia that persists to this day, that a minimum wage should allow a 40 hour work week to feed, clothe and house a worker and reasonable immediate dependants.

> Better to be a little inconvenienced and take longer to get home

How much longer? In my jurisdiction the cops can hold you for 24 hours (or something like that) without formally charging you.[1] I do not believe that this is very different to other places.

TBH, the only reason they don't usually do it to the wrong guy is because cops like to have a decent set of evidence before detaining someone. If they waste their time on someone who probably isn't going to get convicted, then they aren't looking for the person who probably will get convicted, and their comparative statistics looks bad.

So, yeah, there's a fine line.

Piss off the cop for no good reason and you'll get home ... eventually.

Be polite but say as little as possible and you'll not waste more than 5m.

You don’t have to assume dominance hierarchies are a platonic ideal for this idea to work materially - all you need is the assumption that a receiver is adjoint to a generator to have some kind of coupling-like phenomenon.

Like how antennae are shaped to capture certain geometries of electrical field flux, and how the transmitters of those signals are shaped to produce those geometries.

In this case it seems fairly benign to assume that thoughts, which probably flow in a high-redundancy, fault-tolerant way through the brain, can be decoded and incorporated to be processed in a high-redundancy, seemingly structure preserving way. If you hear a tree fall in a forest, that’s ‘cause your perception made it make a sound, subjectively speaking, etc..

90% of third party apps are able to accommodate this. Apollo for ex caches thousands of posts per page load, which no app with self-hosting would ever incorporate. Reddit has also offered to work with the third party apps to improve efficiency.

I can’t talk much about serverless, I briefly tried some frameworks during the hype and I haven’t been convinced. It did sound more annoying and expensive than copying files using ftp to cgi-bin or mod_php managed servers like in the 90s and 2000s.

About software containers I think that the complexity is very very much worth it. Being able to ship software that run on my machine and will run about the same in production is so convenient. Running applications with conflicting dependencies is not a problem. Installing up to date or legacy software without breaking the operating system is also trivial.

Sure kubernetes is complex but it’s a bit more than running containers. A good start is using Docker or podman directly. You can see the value of kubernetes or nomad later.

The quality of this article feels kind of dubious. There are ideas here that have some merit but some of the background smells like it was generated.

That aside, I’m a little put off by the grouping of containers and serverless as if they exist at the same level which could warrant a coherent discussion. For example, given that serverless is simply a way to spin up on-demand, ad-hoc http endpoints, the vendor lock-in argument is going to be stronger than the same argument about an OCI spec container.

Maybe I’m in a bubble, but there isn’t much substance here that isn’t already known: using serverless as a crutch is a terrible idea if you are looking to actually scale and containers, well, exist.
