> and you can’t set the new one to the old value

Perhaps this should be possible? If nothing else, it should technically be possible to hook it to a load and run the odometer up to what it should be. You'd have to be careful not to overshoot, since you can't reduce the value on an odometer if they're properly designed.

It'd still be useful to denote "this vehicle has had the odometer replaced, but care was taken to ensure the odometer value is within +/- 1% of the authentic value"

Of course, this is really only for mechanical-style odometers. Digital ones, I know almost nothing about, wouldn't surprise me if there is no "stored mileage" in such an odometer.

Mere intelligence does not generate an atomic bomb. Einstein signed the letter to the president, and Oppenheimer was the man helming the project, but the actual construction of the atomic bomb required massive amounts of labor and resource gathering that was not under Einstein nor Oppenheimer's jurisdiction. The physical ability of hypothetical AGIs or LLMs to command such resources is rather low.

You make an assumptions that is false. 1. Minimum wage increases != wage increases. It's a small subset. The poorest of the poor is never the problem.

> Every consumer has some idea of what things are worth and if a company tries to jack prices up for no reason consumers feel cheated and stop paying.

The recent inflation proves otherwise. Many costs have remained sticky for no added benefit. If this was true then we would never have inflation - because the inflation the last 2 years has been so extreme that your belief should have come to pass without any help and much earlier when the supply shocks subsided.

> Then as the supply of goods came back they started using the inflation narrative (complete with "printed money" excuse) to justify further increasing prices,

This just proves the point further - consumers continued spending despite the rising costs. But now you'll say they're only now started to feel ripped off? Seems awfully convenient for your argument, but isn't consistent. What is consistent is that raising interest rates have helped somewhat.

The fed is doing the right thing and yes it impacts wages as it impacts other asset classes. Again, if your eggs cost 300% more but your wages increased, it doesn't matter, in the end you're still likely losing.
> Tom Layton of Henderson, Nevada first noticed FedEx's odometer rollbacks in 2017. Layton, who's been buying and selling trucks and vans for 36 years, bought a FedEx Freightliner truck with around 180,000 indicated miles. When he sold the truck, his buyer hooked it up to a computer that told them the real mileage was around 400,000 miles.

And yet another reason to ensure "Right to Repair" Laws are passed and enforced.

Right now, one state, I forgot which, was informed by the auto industry they will ignore the law. I do not know if enforcement has started yet.

Why transformative AI is hard to achieve
I'm curious how long ago your Fastmail experience was. I've been using it lately and haven't had any issue with RSVPs (at least that I know of). I also often see people who don't RSVP to anything, so I'm surprised interviewers would see that as an issue.
Sure, and I said it was confident, not correct.

I find it interesting that it pulled some kind of interpretation from the string. Far more than I would have. I asked it to translate the English data back into a similarly plaintext string and then asked a second instance to decode it and it came back with a similar, slightly distorted response.

The point is more to say that a language model is exactly the sort of thing that would be used to determine whether a given potentially decoded plaintext string is actually decoded, and given various anachronisms and shorthands our personal language models may not be adequate.

But a giant one that's been fed all sorts of data including examples of text of similar usage sounds actually like it might be exactly the tool for this problem.

As someone who has changed his mind fairly often when shown sufficient evidence, I’ve rarely been mocked for it.

If you’re sincere and can explain why, it’s not really problems. It takes humility and a certain amount of confidence to say you were wrong.

It also helps not to be a dick about your beliefs. I prefer to explain why I believe what I believe. When people know why you stand for something, your surface beliefs make more sense.

I’ve made being correct more important than being right. It’s really hard to make a meaningful argument when I’ve just said I agree with you.

wholesale auctions operate with a surprising amount of trust, often buyers never actually see the car, they buy based on the specs and description. The vehicle is then shipped to the buyer, and in some cases. the buyer, when finally seeing the vehicle, will get in touch with the seller and say "this isn't "great" condition, this is "good", for _reasons_" and negotiate an adjustment of the price to reflect that. The plaintiff is in the comments of that article and mentions most auctions don't allow computer diagnostics on a car.

Very interesting, and I had never heard of IIT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_information_theory) before.

What's weird to a layman, is that the theories described both in the article and by IIT seem to theorize that consciousness is pervasive in the universe, even in inanimate objects, while it might seem obvious to any of us humans that it's a prerogative of highly intelligent animals only, and in no way can a CD-ROM be described as conscious, however you look at it.

My pet theory I keep going back to is that consciousness and self-awareness is a side-effect of higher-order reasoning and our pre-frontal neural cortex. Take any form of life with a nervous system, say an amoeba, give it a complex, layered associative memory system, the ability to predict future events, to entertain abstract thought, and you might get a self-aware amoeba.

The confluence of all these systems, which we know are incredibly developed in humans and primates and we know depend on the complexity of a brain, gives birth to a side-effect of awareness and sense of self. I stress the side effect part. Despite our egoistic belief and drive to prove that the universe has been created for us, or consciousness is necessary for our survival, maybe the whole idea of us is just the result of the interplay between other systems. Seen under this light, one might see consciousness as a bug, a necessary evil, if you will, that you have to deal with when you slap together those high-order thought processes.

Of course I am not a scientist in any way, but it seems strange to imagine consciousness being a quantum atomic effect when it's only been proven to exist in a very limited set of lifeforms, not in all matter.
This is great, thanks very much for sharing

It's reached the point where even the IMF (which is really a policy arm of the US State Department) has to admit it [1].

To many (myself included) this has been entirely obvious for a year or more. The interesting part is how many apologists come out of the woodwork to defend capitalism when they are not part of this and they're just as much a victim as anyone else.

I think the biggest problem is that people confuse markets with capitalism. Markets are commerce. They happen in every economic system. It is not a unique trait to capitalism. Capitalism describes how value is created (labor) and how the surplus value of labor is concentrated into the hands of the very few (the capital-owning class) where once that wealth was concentrated into the hands of an artistocratic class that derived from the divine right of kings (ie feudalism). That's literally all it is.

We desperately need to increase corporate taxation.

Some of my favorite social experiences occurred at hotel bars near airports. An example was a time I struck up a conversation with a woman who turned out to be a flight attendant, and we ended up eating dinner together and talking for hours. Even gave me her phone number! It's one of those things that's only likely to happen in another setting such as a noisy sports bar. Being able to hear each other was really important; most bars where I live have bad acoustics and music blaring, which I think suppresses random conversations.

My other favorite type of bar is those at fancy restaurants. They are usually quieter, have better clientele, and are often a de facto loophole for eating dinner without a reservation.

Unless if this 1.3B cash I wouldn’t celebrate so soon.

This is likely mostly stock deal, backed by databricks equity that, like most other private companies, is illiquid and has taken a nose dive in value in the last couple of years.

I don’t know the exact split, but I’d imagine it is 300m cash, 1B in databricks stock at some last round private valuation that’s likely untested

Databricks last raises at 38B valuation at 1B ARR near peak valuation hype in August 2021.

Assuming they can get 10x and their ARR has doubled since then, they’re down maybe 50 percent in valuation.

Internally they say they are marking themselves down to about 34B.

Is the deal using databricks shares valued at 38B? 34B? 20B? Who knows. I hope it’s the latter.

And I hope that whenever Mosaic folks get to sell their databricks stocks that it is worth more than that

not very much room... the companies weren't all that separate and fedex profited off the alleged fraud

>>> FedEx started auctioning old vans off through its fleet company, Holman Fleet Leasing (also a defendant in the lawsuit). The lawsuit alleges that both FedEx and Holman intentionally replaced the odometers to artificially inflate the values of the vans, so they'd sell for higher prices at various auctions throughout the United States. Then, according to the accusations, both companies would split the profits.
As the previous paragraph to your quote states,

>odometers, as automotive components, do occasionally wear out or malfunction and need to be replaced

In many vehicles the mileage is stored in an engine control unit and the odometer is simply a digital display. In others it's stored electronically in the instrument cluster. What if you need to replace a faulty ECU or instrument cluster? There are ways to reflash that data so replacements are accurate.

If you're selling a vehicle at auction, typically it's as-is. So if the ECU or cluster are having problems and can't read out the mileage, it seems unfair to make it illegal to sell.

A disclaimer isn't admitting to lying. It's admitting that the reported value could be inaccurate. That seems to be the most fair requirement in an auction scenario.

I would like to live in a toroidal house, preferably raised above the ground by standing on some pillars, and with trees around, both outside the torus and inside the torus.

I am lucky that even if I live in an apartment (a.k.a. flat), when I look through the windows I do not see some other ugly building, but I see the crowns of several beautiful trees, which are close, at a distance of about 5 meters.

I am working most of the time being seated in front of a computer, but whenever I have to think about something more difficult I prefer to stand up and walk, while thinking.

Doing this in an apartment, even when choosing the longest possible path, requires frequent direction reversals for walking.

In a toroidal house, it would be possible to walk for any duration, without paying attention to the environment while thinking and without being distracted by the necessity of doing reversals.

What data are they basing their graph on?

I've looked at quite a few quarterly reports by large corporations and I see the same pattern everywhere:

Nominal sales up by ~10%, cost of goods sold up by ~20%, profit up by low single digit percent. In other words they are driving towards a cliff and the last 2 quarters of this year we will probably see losses.

But yes, it has to be those damn greedy corporations, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with shutting down global supply chains while increasing and radically shifting consumer demand.

This is database dependent. For example SQLite does not support SELECT ... FOR UPDATE
A couple of caveats: (1) The supply chain and risk landscapes have changed, and my anecdotal sense is that companies need larger margins to compensate. (2) Competition will generally keep abnormal profits in check. If your competitors raise prices and underpay workers, there is nothing stopping you from keeping your own prices lower and increase the wages you pay to attract the people you need and increase your own sales and profits. If companies don't do that, you need to at least contemplate why not.

A classic martini has three ingredients, though I find novice cocktail makers often forget the most important: gin, vermouth and ice water. If you've ever made them in bulk you immediately realize that you need to add ~20% ice water before putting the batch into the freezer (since it isn't added in the process of mixing).

The martini may be simple, but it is not easy to make an excellent one. It's a very solid test of a bartender's skill because, unlike many drinks, ingredients alone cannot carry the cocktail. A piña colada for example, is mostly about ingredients (are you using a good coconut cream? fresh pineapple?) For the martini the chilling and dilution need to be just right. This tests the bartender's most important skill: mixing. Proper mixing of the beverage is ultimately what makes a martini.

In addition, I've had a shocking number of awful martinis served to me.

Wouldn’t writing/reading to/from Kafka sort of be orthogonal to micro services?

I say this not to argue one way of another for services, just to say that I think your example is just Kafka, or more generally event driven architecture. One thing that defines services is a request/response messaging pattern. In other words a service makes a request and then they wait for a response, like http. What you’re talking about resembles a service because the producer/consumer are separate processes, but they don’t really have much else in common with services, due to a different messaging pattern.
My favorite part of this whole thing is how many people are absolutely falling over themselves to say "there's no way companies took advantage of decades of consolidation and the political narrative of free money leading to inflation to raise prices for more profit", meanwhile the companies themselves are bragging about raising prices just because they can. In their own earnings reports.

Atlassian, before Atlassian, asked me to open source my wiki engine, because they wanted to create a wiki. Did that, LGPLed it, and Confluence was born ;-)

[Edit] "Engine" is ambigous, wiki render engine would be more precise [0]. To be transparent and because it is not and was not my intention to mislead people: the code was a library that rendered Wiki markup into HTML and had a plugin/extension system to e.G. render syntax highlighted code, diagrams and integrate with third party systems. It implemented this with a macro system using {...} syntax. You would need to add at least load/safe e.G. with Hibernate to have a (minimal) Wiki application. But with Radeox you could create your Wiki app in perhaps 100 LOC.
