I find these takes truly bizarre. Your basic assumption is that the future is predictable and there's a group of powerful, but incompetent people controlling it.

Central Banks' mandate is to control inflation while still ensuring employment is healthy. They can try and model and predict the future as much as they want, and they can tell you what they're thinking at any point in time, but this is fundamentally not something that anyone can do. So the line became "The fed promised us they wouldn't raise rates, but then they did, so my shitty risk management is their fault, not my fault". No, it's your fault, because the Fed's job isn't to make pronouncements and stick to them regardless of reality, it's to keep inflation and employment at healthy levels.

So the Fed did its job. Inflation is being brought under control without a recession or a hit to employment which so far is quite remarkable. If they continue this for another year or two and bring the situation completely under control it'll actually be a historic achievement.
Because it's much worse when you put people in a group and then attack that group than when you just group. "We need to help the poor", not very problematic. "The poor are lazy and deserve to suffer", very problematic.

I see you're moving on to a different argument now. Before it was about R&D, but now that it's been established that we're talking about trash cans for a plane that's been built since the 1950s, the argument is now about economies of scale. For trash cans that each cost roughly the median income of a US full-time worker.

> The average length of time represented in 250 words of fiction had been getting steadily shorter since the early eighteenth century.

That is a fascinating detail in itself. My first thought is this is reflective of life moving faster in general.

For example, travel by horse vs plane is the difference between days (or weeks) and hours. If you're writing about this travel in modern era, the trip can be summed up in a partial sentence like "After landing in (new city), ..." but you can't really gloss over a days-long trip by horse in the same way.

Basically, "event density" has gone up: more things can happen in a smaller length of time, and number of words is reflective of how many things are happening.
Only thing I'll mention is that tools wear out. Not that it justifies the price.

Ok, I'll go along. Mining gold just to have it in a vault as a store of value is also wasteful energy use (along with the other environmental damage gold mining entails). Now what? Again, the argument that 'other things are bad or worse, so this bad thing is ok' is bad one.

Maybe try this another way, if bitcoin used 1% of worldwide energy would that be too much? Where's the line where you would admit that its been crossed and bitcoin energy use is out of proportion to its utility? 5%? 50%?

Can you disagree with that and still use the product? So tell me how they didn't give themselves the power? If there was a true choice, then yes, the customer decided to give them that power.

You could argue that you could have not used the product in the first place, but for me (not the person you're replying to), the TOS was very different in 2006. I cannot simply just move to a different service. There was no true choice.

Further, if it is a corporate account, the user needs to make a living thus must choose to use the product or tell their employer they need to quit. There is no true choice.

> I disagree. Without competition, open source or otherwise, there is very little reason for a popular project to keep improving

This is a very common worldview nowadays, in fact it's probably the core tenet of the contemporary credo[1], but that's also an extremely narrow view of human psychogy: humans routinely seek to achieve the best they can do without any kind of competition.

Worse, with competition people tend to optimize for the specific metric the competition is about, and everything end up looking the same (from movies to retail product, that's the ”ice cream vendor paradox”), if you want to explore the entire problem espace you need to remove competition and let people set their own goals. Competition is also only a stimulation when you're in a good position to win, otherwise the desperation faced when you only have very little chances of winning is very likely to destroy your motivation (the school system is extremely prone to this phenomenon, and so is competitive cycling).

In fact, since there's almost never a reward, the vast majority of open-source products exist solely because their creator wanted it to exist, and they are maintained because their creator just want their creation to be perfect.

Oh, and by the way, biological evolution isn't about competition either, that was just Victorian England elite projecting their worldviews on a biological phenomenon: species don't want to win anything[2], some “packs of genes” just happen to be more suited to persist over time than others.

[1] even above the “myth of Progress”, which is currently being challenged by the "myth of the golden age"/ “myth of Decadence”

[2] “species” don't even exist in the real world, it's just a simplifying (and useful) model of the world (if you're interested in learning more about that, look for “Beefalo” and “pan-genome”.

> Where a big company charges you 300,000K/year, I will charge you 30K and I have 10 of you, so still a win for me :-)

I think you're inventing an entirely unrealistic hypothetical scenario.

The original commenter asked, "What about tackling a large-ish market but competing on price?"

How many large-ish markets are there with $300,000K/year products, and moreover, how many $300,000K/year products can be delivered to 10 different customers for $30K each by a 1 person team? This seems completely absurd.
True! That said, the monopoly plays a role. I bet if you gave these specs to an open bid sheet metal fabricator somewhere in the US they’d replicate it for less than 52K shipped, no?

> you havent formulated any hypotheses that can be tested. You've just looked at the graph and "reckoned something"

Let's not be so hasty. I think I do put it as clearly as possible. I'm comparing essentially your Hyp1 and Hyp2, where Hyp1 (aka the stochastic parrot) is expressed a little bit more clearly as the LLM is learning an n-gram that produces correct sorts through rote memorization of statistical correlations in the training data, like that sorted lists tend to start with '0', end with '99', and increase monotonically; and Hyp2 is that the LLM's training molds it into representing an actual sorting algorithm that would correctly generalize to any input list.

> But it's really obviously false for natural language. The properties of the world are not the properties of word order... being red isnt "red follows words like..."

This is not really obviously false. Yes, being red isn't "red follows words like...". But a word order should still map to properties of the world, especially if those words are to be meaningful to a listener. Being red is "a surface reflects or transmits most of the light in the 600-800 nm spectrum and absorbs most of the rest". Of course, it won't do to just echo those tokens; once you've nailed down the concept of "red", you need to make sure that concepts like "reflects", "light", and "spectrum" are represented as well. It's an open question as to whether this sort of knowledge graph can be properly bootstrapped from a large volume of text descriptions, but I am strongly inclined to believe it can. If you dismiss it outright you're just begging the question.
So is the underlying assumption for this comment chain so far that only old white guys could possibly have enough experience, training or other safety expertise? Or that specifically the absence of an old white man is what doomed them? And not the mile-long list of corners he cut, very knowingly?

And to do that, do we have to ignore that he fired a safety engineer for expressing concerns?

Yep, same. Also there's dozens of songs that I totally lost to time, because of lost hard drives, tapes thrown away after being converted to disk, some stuff from 2010 that I lost the multitracks when moving countries.

And your comment tells me you're too deep into the system to realize how ridiculous this is. Your guy in a metal shop can do this for $5k with plenty of padding. Hire your certification consultant for $15k, and so on. If being efficient with taxpayer money was a priority, you could do one-off jobs a hell of a lot more efficiently than this was handled.
I was in a similar boat as you - I decided to get a masters degree in CS from Georgia Tech (online part time program) to shore up some of the things I didn't know since I was a bootcamp/self-taught full stack web dev.

Now that I'm almost done with the program (which I will highly recommend if you're into that kind of thing), my desire to solve truly challenging and sophisticated problems has vastly decreased. My goal was to see what's out there and maybe switch to a different field of programming, something more "challenging" like systems development or computer vision. Well, honestly now that I spent some time studying those I care even less

The real question I needed to answer is "what do I want out of life?" and I thought the answer is "work on truly challenging and sophisticated problems" and I don't think it's that. I'm still looking for the answer

Lol I know this doesn't really answer your question, but really the best way to do what you're asking is to just find a hard problem that you're interested in and try and solve it. Then do it again and again. If you don't have any hard problems you're interested in, you sure you actually want to do it? The people I know who solve hard problems have had no shortage of hard problems they want to solve in their lives
All serious databases are doing their own low-level buffer pool management for relations&tuples, which bypass e.g. malloc, for a bunch of reasons. There are various techniques for this. The papers I link to in my comment refer to some recent ones.

My point is that in the end what a DB needs to do at this level is translate tuple or btree etc. node references into physical memory references; either by a fault that pulls them from disk, by a fault that maps a virtual address into the kernel as physical memory, or by a live reference, etc. And it feels to me that a lot of the logic there mirrors what already happens in the OS's VM subsystem. (For various reason's the "automagic" facilities that do things like this in the OS -- file-backed mmap'd -- are a terrible way to implement a DB, BTW: https://db.cs.cmu.edu/mmap-cidr2022/)

That and of course at the persistent storage layer the data structures are tuned around physical device performance characteristics. Back in the days to deal with the mechanics of head & cylinders etc; these days, the interface and aspects of flash storage, write amplification, etc. Hence log structured merge trees, b-epsilon-trees, etc. etc. The persistent storage layer inside the DB looks very much like a filesystem. I mean, it kind of is one, but with a different concept of namespace (relations&tuples&versions etc instead of files and directories)

So, I dunno, I'd maybe rather drink straight from the spring rather than get a bottle of bubbly water at the restaurant. Or something something weird analogy.
"Static" in this case refers its being used in isolation (not to any particular kind of detector).

I could have said "they didn't just use the detector all by itself", I suppose.

One of the variations on making coffee that I've read about is Black Blood of the Earth.

http://www.funraniumlabs.com/the-black-blood-of-the-earth/

> Then I received my diagnosis as a Type II diabetic. I could no longer add sugar in the quantity necessary to make coffee from the cafe next door drinkable, but if I didn’t drink coffee I was in danger of not being able to actually stay awake through a morning of wrangling x-ray machines and radioactive materials. Experimentation began in earnest with BBotE as it promised to eliminate what I couldn’t stand the most about normal percolation coffee, bitterness and acidity.

The description is that it tastes like coffee smells.

I've been curious about this myself. I am not a fan of coffee but in my explorations with advent calendars of a wide range of spirits I had some spiced coffee rum which was quite enjoyable. So, if my caffeine needs lead me in that direction again, I'll likely give it a try.
