Sometimes I wonder if small talk had thrived how different the world might be.

For example, we’ve experienced a trend over the last decade of building platforms out of micro services. They have interfaces, which are sometimes statically typed and serialized with rpc libraries, and ultimately they send messages to each other, because they are isolated.

Now imagine small talk. It’s virtually the same thing, but 50 years ago (and not networked). Still each object is isolated, and they only communicate by sending messages. Everything is an object that’s inspectable and can “independently deployed” by editing it in real time.

This seems really nice.

Are we living in a worse version of the world (technologically) than what we could have had?

I don’t know a lot about small talk though so perhaps someone here can chime in and say why it wasn’t that great. To me though it seems like it was a serious system that was more than just a good demo. I can only imagine how it could have developed over 50 years if it was embraced.

To me it still looks futuristic.
Honestly, getting started with k8s is easy. Get started with minikube on local desktop. Once you get the feel for it, try configuring a multi-node cluster using k3s on DigitalOcean or Hetzner and eventually using managed AKS/EKS/GKE if you feel the need.
No - just access the apps I install or the programs I've written.
Did you take a look at the C++ implementation of the hashing function they did? I didn't see a single call made there. They replaced python code that makes 5 calls into a single call.
...reach speeds over 200 mph...

Why is this even a selling point? There are no roads for this. I've never needed to personally go this fast. In actual emergencies, this would put both me and the person with the emergency at risk.

And honestly, the companies can claim that all they want. Pretty much no one is going to test it themselves.

This would be very useful. But how are these extension methods more searchable by syntax than the 'old fashioned' static util methods?
I admit I haven't tried, but I suspect that code completion in my IDE wouldn't include these extension methods.

> But assume that there are jobs "high in the ladder," for amazing engineers and creatives super-charged with AI powers.

IMHO such jobs won’t exist. Once AI have reach AGI level there is nothing that a human can do that the AI can’t. Might as well just add more AI.

Frankly, what scares me is everyone rushing to advance AI but no one seem to be putting any effort into figuring out what to do about society once humans can no longer trade labor for money.
We're looking for a smoking gun because the original poster said there were "billions of dollars spent in an effort to increase public ignorance". For that claim to be true you'd need an entire battlefield of smoking guns. The idea that there's billions of dollars spent on influencing the public and the whole thing is entirely covert is a conspiracy theory. It can be true, but requires good evidence, not a light-year sized goalpost move.

> You're saying that Gates Foundation is playing subterfuge

No I haven't said that. I've said, quite clearly, that the Gates Foundation is an example of spending vast sums very openly and non-subtly. You can even search their website to learn about their spending. Which is my point! I can evidence my claims because a billion dollars spent on influencing the public is about as non-subtle as you can get and easily proven when true.

This is the second time you've quite seriously misinterpreted clear statements by me in this thread. Firstly you read 60 seconds as 1 second, now you think I've said the Gates Foundation is an example of "playing subterfuge", but that's not a claim even its critics make of it. You've projected your own biases onto my posts and read things that aren't there.
This is not what the GP was talking about and a standard model 3, which is less then half the price of the car they described, it’s still luxury priced and until this year? Was about double the average American car price.

I would sincerely hope when your paying that much you get a good car.
If you're just talking about immigration lines, that seems not correct at all. I've definitely seen much longer wait times at quite a few non-US airports than the non-citizen lines at most US airports.

Aside from that, at least you don't have to clear immigration to leave the US. I always thought it was super weird that you need "permission" to leave many other countries, which adds a bunch more unpredictable time to the airport experience, beyond what's already there with the security lines.

And LAX is not exactly a great example; it's one of the worst airports in the US. SFO, EWR, IAD, and even JFK (to name a few) aren't anywhere near as bad, and are just-fine to good at some of them.

And Indonesia... having to pay cash in the airport in order to be allowed to leave the country? And if you're out of rupiah by that point, they charge you much more in USD? Hell, I'd probably take LAX over that garbage.

And Heathrow! Oh man, Heathrow. It's been years since I flew into, out of, or through Heathrow, so maybe things have gotten better, but what a terrible airport it was! Transferring between terminals was a pain in and of itself, not to mention the need to go through security again if you need to make a connection between certain terminals.

Entschuldigung, wir fahren gerne schnell!

But I kinda agree, as a german I feel like we should have a universal tempo limit of 130kmh.

The only reason I can see to stay unlimited would be as a policy measure for quicker EV transition, e.g. by limiting ICE cars to 120kmh and keeping unlimited for EVs.
Regardless of where promises come from, the fact is that they are locally resolved, not remotely resolved.

Using promises in JavaScript is a hack around the fact that the platform has some pretty large deficiencies.
Yes FP16 is fully optimised on NVidia hardware; but if you don't support standards...
Pretty much yeah. A metric like x^2 - t^2 is quite different from one like x^2 + y^2 (and to some extent those are the only possible in 2d)
The article says:

> We’re testing H100’s PCIe version on Lambda Cloud, which enables 114 of those SMs, 50 MB of L2 cache, and 10 HBM2 memory controllers. The card can draw up to 350 W.

> Nvidia also offers a SXM form factor H100, which can draw up to 700W and has 132 SMs enabled.

So i wonder if the number of enabled elements is due to a power supply or cooling constraint.

No, you aren't—and the point at which you are attempting to explain what it is that I really meant or was thinking (explaining me... to me) is the point at which you have stumbled upon a strong indicator that you have lost the plot. Viz:

I think you can’t look at the past 5 years and the features that are being floated for Java 21 and future releases and think fear of change is the issue—the language is now changing rapidly.
"We don’t have AGI, and without that, we have only another wave of automation, and we don’t seem to have any a priori reason why this must be more or less painful than all the others."

We don't need AGI to eliminate 200+ million jobs. The output of a network driving a car can be literally two signed floating points, left-right/accelerate-brake; in hindsight we will understand there is little intelligence in going from A to B without crashing, a bee does it, in 3D even. To eliminate 1+ billion jobs you take the driving network and give it hands: flipping burgers, feeding a CNC machine, handling packages, all these jobs will be gone forever, as they should.

The only question is what will politicians do when their solutions so far have been to raise the retirement age.
'Many' is a word that gains its meaning in comparison to some (implied) quantity, and I'm not sure what you are comparing to: you list 5 programming languages but looking at Wikipedia's list of programming languages* five is clearly not very many at all.

Maybe you mean something like "as a share of top 10 most used languages" or "per capita"?

It depends - even when you run into an "everything is slow" problem, it might be that it's like 1 endpoint out of 2000 that causes performance issues. In this case, you might need to focus very much on performance for that endpoint, but maybe not for other endpoints. Profilers can help you figure out what code to focus on.

If the majority of code is performance critical, the tradeoffs are of course different.

please check the route you drove on "A Better Route Planner". Does the ABPR give a better indication of the driving conditions?

When driving long distances on an EV, I think using ABRP is a must, to have an idea of all alternative routes.
I will be honest, the first ecosystem I started in was node, and I absolutely think that those that I learned later had their insane share of issues too.

Haskell has proven very hard to use cross machine, installing it on MacOS in 2019 was painful, the ecosystem is painful to handle, there's a huge macro/extension confusion, language isn't very retro compatible while you can generally expect 2010 JS to work in 2023 out of the box.

Even creating a full fledged docker image, codespace/gitpod-like proves difficult, the base one provided by GitHub kinda sucks and has issues.

C has proven generally okay to work on most platforms but the language is honestly complex and the sheer amount of knowledge of systems (in all possible meanings of the word), produces non-portable code that doesn't fit most usecases of general programming.

I could go on, but everyone who has tried several languages knows that we all suffer and will always suffer with several shortcomings in all kind of ecosystems.

Php has always been one that I've never got to setup a project in less than few days.

Elm is the less painful but the ecosystem suffers from its own degree of benevolent dictator's state and rate of development.
Looking at the quality of current google searches I highly doubt it.

For me it would be completely pointless because I enjoy chilling while driving at 80kmh on country roads and not being hyper focused on what’s happening around me because I’m doing 200 on the autobahn.

But I get the thrill of launching a car at insane speed. I just don’t personally see the point and would never spend those money for a car.

I’d much rather buy a few hectares of forest with those money.

I dunno. If the car doesn't come with a number of these, you can add them. And some are pretty useless - they aren't selling points.

Interviewer: So let's start with a simple coding challenge, it's called FizzBuzz. Have you heard of it?
These two viewpoints aren’t mutually exclusive. If they needed to develop fizzbuzz at 55GB/s, they might conclude that electron won’t get them there.
Is your point that we should prioritize app performance and spending more on larger teams of develops, over the ease of quickly writing apps in popular frameworks that work on any system and the web?

If so, that's missing half the picture. "People don't care about performance" isn't why devs gravitate towards Electron. Devs and managers gravitate towards Electron because it means they don't have to hire extra people and do more work to get their native apps working on whatever operating systems they ship to and rewrite the whole app for the web. Yeah, it'd be nice not to have the performance penalty, but some teams have accurately calculated that the performance loss the customer realistically notices is worth the benefits of writing and maintaining the app.
Needs to be done in comparison with a larger car that would fit the same cargo as the smaller car with a roof box.
When hurricans etc are about hit an area, Tesla sends out an update to over-ride charge limits and fully charge the cars pre-emptively, sends notifications and alerts on the app, and makes super charging on the route free.

This would not be possible on ICE vehicles, IMHO.
And it bound the "Nazi vote" from 1990 until 2015? And they still don't vote NPD in 2023?

They vote AfD because the traditional parties have failed them and keep doubling down. The AfD would probably also fail them if in power, but that is the nature of protest votes.

Same story in France where Le Pen is currently leading the polls.
You can't compare Tesla profit with other car manufacturers. The numbers are not calculated the same way. If you take your Volkswagen to have something fixed within the warranty period, then the cost of repair is taken from the warranty repair pool associated with that model/year configuration, lowering the profit per sold car.

If you take a Tesla in for repair, they'll most of the time do a goodwill repair which doesn't come out of the warranty pool, and therefore doesn't affect profit per car.

They work out to the same number in the end, but per car profitability looks better for Tesla when trying to attract suck... outside investment.
Tesla fanboys need to stop being so short-sighted. All innovation in cars will not stop at the BEV. There will be a next technology leap beyond the BEV. And if you think honestly about what that is, it will be hydrogen cars. Simply because they are EVs without the limitations of the li-ion battery.

As a result, people need to think carefully about what comes next. If anything, BEVs represent a transitional technology. You can think of them as being what Reddit is right now. Sure, it disrupted what came before (i.e. Digg), but it is not the end-result of that particular business sector. And if that is the case, then it is likely that Tesla, not Toyota, that faces the biggest challenge in the future.

I mean its a fact. They were rejected by the traditional VCs.

I mean why would they? VCs always talk about companies they could have gotten in early and didn't.

If Theranos was actually successful, then there would be no reason to 'disown' her.

> and those very same VCs got rugpulled with FTX not that long after making all those confident assertions look very silly in hindsight.

What confident assertions?

I don't get what they have to do with each other. Getting FTX wrong (if they did) has nothing to do if they got Tharanos right.
It depends. You can write bubblesort in assembly and it will be pretty damn slow.
I can imagine those assembly leaders could push out pretty fast C implementations as well.
Screw dry – copy paste is the goal
Extension methods in a language that explicitly supports them and with good IDE support are perfectly fine. I love them in Kotlin. Extension methods as a compiler plugin that rewrites the AST... not so great. Great IDE support is a large part of what makes Java worth using, the last thing I need is to break that.
Car orders: you can definitely get all your money back if they're cancelled, or need to change from what you ordered. The specific contract you signed might include a clause to say they will pay a fee for cancelling your order, but I don't believe this is a consumer right. I don't know what Tesla do, but there is no situation where they can change the driving side of the car (or any significant details of the order whatsoever) without offering a full refund at the very least. This would be covered by most countries' consumer rights laws.

The title is dishonest, Tesla hasn't forced anyone into a wrong-sided car.
CV's are just a bad way to judge developers.

A link to a github account is far more valuable IMO. If you have nothing on github (or another code sharing service), then you probably don't have a passion for software.

Better route planning doesn’t negate the need for long stops in really odd locations like abandoned mall parking lots.

Also did NYC -> Montreal in a Tesla and the charging situation was much more frustrating than I had expected.
I don't think this analogy hold up all that well.

For the commuter example (at least in the US), often the first leg is a drive (in a car) to the train station. When the commuter-rail train gets to its destination, you don't have the car anymore, so you want to be as close to your destination as possible. Even then, if I have to take a local train from there, and something goes wrong with it, at least I can probably get a taxi or something.

Regardless, in your airline example, I would probably want (B), not (A). If I were to choose (A), and there was a problem with my short-haul local flight, I'm probably missing my long-haul connection, which will be more difficult to re-arrange. If I take the long-haul flight first, and something gets messed up with the short-haul connection at the destination, I likely have more options, possibly even including a train or car. Sure, the worst case might be worse (I get stuck at the connecting airport and need to get a hotel overnight), but I think the average case is probably better.

Sure, if I want to bail on my trip if anything goes wrong, the short-haul-first approach works better, but I don't think there are many situations where I'd want to bail rather than finding another way to get there.

But overall I'm not sure the main issue is when things go wrong. For commuting, there are still benefits to the happy path when the connection is closer to the origin. If the train station is next door to my house, but the station on the other end is 15 miles from the office, that's still a pain to deal with. The opposite is much easier.
Interestingly, AI might change this. Not that it would be a good idea to write everything in assembly, but at least it would be possible now.

Some wonderful systems were written in assembly. Donkey Kong comes to mind.
That last bit really isn't necessary, though. To be fair, I'm in Norway and electric cars are really popular.

Tax breaks, reductions on tolls, and the ability to drive in bus lanes has helped. Infrastructure has most definitely helped, too.
Yeah, Africa has two problems: lack of money, and high import tariffs (usually in response to the lack of foreign currency).

Shouldn't it be possible to work around this by wrapping the query in double quotes? Google promises to do an exact match search when wrapping in quotes.

So I'd imagine the OP's query should work when the image id is wrapped in double quotes. Otherwise, it'd mean that it's not in the index anymore.
Why did Perl never maintain its popularity?
I feel like "upvotes" and "downvotes" are sorta useless these days because both are prone to manipulation and often are just that. Just like "user reviews" which can be purchased. Same deal. It's a big part of why I quit using Reddit. The manipulation on the platform is so painfully obvious that it makes the entire system useless for anyone having an honest conversation that isn't hell bent on keeping to an approved narrative, topic, opinion, thought process etc. It seems to inherently encourage group think. I also wouldn't be willing to hand some random 3rd party extension my browsing history. I doubt I am the only one who feels that way in this era of people attempting to be more privacy centric.
Its also that the longer journey increases the variation in arrival time thus increasing the risk of not making the transfer.
I think the protesters just want a reason to riot and to find a vehicle for their frustrations, but a framing like this is just as much a form of venting.

99.999% of businesses don't publish APKs or upload them to F-Droid. Expecting people to use third party distribution mechanisms like Aurora store is entirely unreasonable.

As for "working around" it, it's ridiculous to impose that expectation on the general population. Sure, you and I will always be able to find a way to hack around restrictions, but it's inaccessible to the overwhelming majority of the population.
Also surprised, it seems to make such a big subjective difference. One tip I got from a busy dentist who did not want more business: smear a little toothpaste on the floss before using it, work through all the places where teeth contact. Gets flouride in places where it normally would not get to.
