I am curious to know what you are doing that is AVX heavy, but doesn't benefit from more cores?

The first thing that came to my mind is llama.cpp, but its actually core count bound for prompt ingestion and mostly RAM speed bound during token generation.
I saw some article yesterday about this palatial new high school in Texas and the headline was something FREEDOM and TEXAS... but being in the Northeast, one of the biggest differences between here and there is the labor pool. In Texas, there is a near limitless supply of immigrant labor. Mexicans have built so much of California and Texas. They should get credit for what they've accomplished.

If you want to see the opposite of that, come to Vermont. Even if we can get a building approved there's nobody around to build it, and even if there was the cost of their labor is beyond the economic capacity of the region. The sooner we start issuing work visas for construction, the faster we will get out of the housing crisis.

This makes for frustrating reading, coming from an industry where "Organizational Design" can have extremely serious consequences: the military.

A brief case study: Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The argument has been made (and I agree) that much of their early failures stem from not understanding/implementing Unified Command. They didn't have a Joint Task Force Commander who was responsible for the entire Area of Operations. They didn't have an Air Component Commander subordinate to the JTF to ensure all air operations achieved synergy with, and were in support of, the ground scheme of maneuver.

Most field-grade officers who have planned and/or executed a major multi-service or multi-national training exercise are familiar with Command Relationship org charts and understand WHY they are important (if that stuff isn't clear, responsibilities get fuzzy when edge cases arise, and then in the resulting confusion/friction....people die). It's also just as important to understand how much of that "big DoD" cruft you can peel away when you are doing small, localized training with a developing nation with....austere practices, shall we say.

So I could see adding "Organizational Design" to my LinkedIn....unknowingly putting myself in the same bucket as "hot-air no-nothing ex-FAANG managers". And then no one cares what digital signal processing stuff I could do for them as an IC... :(

No. Responsibility implies that someone "should" do something and it can be applied to any random phrase: "you have the responsibility to face the wall and not move for eternity"

> car owners feel less welcome

Think of the car owners feelings! But seriously, having fewer parking spaces can incentivize better non-car transportation options (public transport and bike lanes/paths for example). Turns out that higher density areas with non-car transportation options are hugely popular and pleasant places to live.
> don't we have the responsibility to nurture it and guide it to maximizing our potential? [...] AI is humanity's baby.

We don't have any responsibilities to the AI. Its not a human. Its certainly not a baby. Models are big, inert groups of numbers that somehow happen to be able to store and retrieve knowledge via matrix multiplications.

But they aren't like people. They don't have agency. They don't have desires, or independent goals or any subjective experience of anything. They're just files on disk we can do math on.

Lets hold off on anthromorphizing AIs until they have goal functions, at least. Language models are just weird books made out of math. We don't "owe them" anything.
Podman installs a systemd generator that automatically transforms the name.container files shown in the article into ordinary systemd user service units[1][2][3], so

loginctl enable-linger USER

(run once, as root) should cause USER's podmansh container to start as soon as the system enters multi-user mode, independent of USER's login sessions, allowing persistent daemons, including those necessary for job scheduling, namely…

Ordinarily, users can create systemd timer units[4] to schedule at- and cron-style jobs; I assume you need to run a systemd instance inside each user's podmansh container to allow users to create systemd units in the present containerized context (running systemd inside a container is explicitly supported by podman[5]).

If your users don't like systemd, you can also run traditional atd/crond daemons in user containers.

(This is the same mechanism that, e.g., automatically creates systemd mount units for mounts defined in /etc/fstab.)

λ = v / f

The velocity (v) is the speed of light for gravitational waves, which is already a really big number. If the frequency (f) is based on the period of the black holes which circle around each other, then I assume one rotation happens over a long period of time. Long period -> low frequency -> small denominator which makes the wavelength (λ) even longer.
Because there won't be and it's naive to think otherwise. The tech isn't open source, the hardware is expensive, and then there's the massive regulatory over head to get these into the road.

You'd be better off hoping for your personal car to be autonomous so it can come pick you up and that's assuming personal cars remain affordable enough.
Ok, go experiment for us. Live in a house by yourself in the desert 50 miles from anywhere and see how well you thrive.
Much of the land in the US isn’t suited for residential or commercial purposes. Building in some parts will just mean expensive water infrastructure demands and/or fire risk. That being said, there’s large swaths of Vermont, New York, PA, and the southeast which do not have these problems.
You literally imply there is one and describe it in the sibling comment reply.

Interestingly you present the possibility of a falsifiable hypothesis. Unfortunately due to the highly variable accuracy of diagnosis and propensity to treat (source: I was on The path to surgical training and now routinely diagnose appendicitis in my role as an emergency doctor) depending on health system capacity and availability to acute care the existing retrospective data doesn’t provide a satisfying result - what it does suggest is illuminating however; with a suggestion of a decrease in rate of incidence over the second half of the 20th century in industrialised countries, and a suggestion of increase in some developing countries. This would be more in keeping with an improvement in diagnostic capacity in both industrialised (less false positives) and developing (more false negatives) countries.

The author started out making a library that does auto-complete based on SQLite table definitions, which is where the etymology of the 'lite' in 'CodeLite' comes from. Not 'lite' as in: "This IDE is lightweight".

Still a weird and probably unfortunate name. But now you know.

> and they often require a fast computer.

About 10 years ago this argument ceased to hold much relevance. Or, at least, it did for all IDEs I've investigated. The complexity of editing a sack of code, CPU-wise, hasn't changed all that much, and 10 years has had quite the impact on how cheap 'hardware that can run IDEs without breaking a sweat' has gotten.

> difficult to use or make sense of

Writing software is inherently complicated, and many complicated tasks are significantly helped with the use of complex tools that require a significant investment to learn to use properly. The answer isn't to resort to building tables using a simple handcrafted hammer and a manual saw because those things are 'easy to understand'.

> I prefer the "light minimal software" approach, where I just write things I need without going too big.

To channel Einstein a bit - tools should be as minimal as possible but not _more_ minimal. Which mostly just kicks the can down the road: I don't think it's useful or correct to claim that IDE fans "just like pointless complexity and fail to appreciate the elegance of simple tools". They just defined "minimal" differently from you.

Ah, I thought it's someone else commenting on the same matter. Thanks for sharing this looks extremely interesting!
I wonder if it had to do with tuberculosis, which is airborne? Tenements were designed with that in mind and in the USA houses built in the early 20th century often feature “sleeper porches”. Outside areas to sleep to get fresh air. This too was in part to avoid TB.

> Most people don't think critically about their money

This is a bit of a naive viewpoint. Take your example of putting money in the stock market, regardless of its health and structure:

So I'll follow your advice and I'll think critically about it. I'm not an economist, but I'm technically and mathematically quite literate. And what I see is that historically, it's generally been a good idea to put money in the stock market. But of course that doesn't mean that will apply to the future.

Except, how can I tell whether the stock market is in good health? Even as an academic researcher, that is a really hard problem. The best I can do is look at the past, and then take a risk.

It's not my lack of critical thinking that is the problem. It's that it is a genuinely very hard problem.

I remember a search engine working like that, but I forget it's name. Dog something? It's ground breaking idea was, hey all these search engines kind of suck and you have to go to about 10 of them to find what you want - so what if you enter one search term on our page and we'll Iframe in the results from 10 different search engines!

On the plus side, interviews work both ways. You got lucky to need less than one interview to understand that they would be a bad fit for you.
The subtext of the comment you're replying to is that the cities people want to live in are all full up, and people who want to live there should just go make new cities somewhere else.
Usually it's simply siphoned away. Sometimes by investors themselves in "advisory fees".
> I don’t understand why we are stuck in this loophole of zones, affordable housing and so on. There is plenty of space!

Sounds like you’re in favour of cancelling zoning. Cancelling just means a reevaluation of how and where we allow housing developments on existing space. It means cancelling that ineffective structure system and replacing it with something more appropriate. It means getting to actually build housing on space that didn’t allow it for reasons we’re now questioning and challenging.

> With one of the lowest density in the world (36/km²) this should be a NON issue.

The issue is traditional working practices. People are forced to cluster in large cities, as opposed to spreading around, particularly where jobs can be done remotely. There's literarly no need to have software engineers, marketing and sales people, customer support, accountants, etc in city offices. This is an issue all over the world where work hasn't adopted modern practices.
Since most package managers only support installing software system-wide, users need to compile whatever additional software they need in their home directory and hope that the prerequisite toolchains are already installed by their system administrator. Isolating users in containers allows them to customize their environment via `sudo [apt/yum] install` just like they would on their own computer without affecting other users. Containers can give each user apparent sudo powers while confining all of their operations to their own sandbox. They are a lighter-weight alternative to allocating a full VM to each user.
The current large language model neural networks have successfully exploited a zero day on human cognition. The output closely resembles high quality writings and as such our psyche will consider it quality too. (See Kahneman's Thinking Fast And Slow on more such.) This is extremely dangerous as there is little to nothing of information in there -- this sometimes can be revealed by negating the prompt and getting the same answer. I can't find the article right now investigating this but there was one. This shouldn't be surprising since all the system is capable of is providing something the answer would sound like. Yes, sometimes it happens to be the answer but unless you already know how to evaluate that there's no way to know.

The biggest danger lies in the future. According to https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/13/1098071... some 300 000 COVID deaths could've been avoided if all adults gotten vaccinated and without a doubt anti vaxx propaganda paid a role in the low vaccination rate. We know only 12 people were behind most of that propaganda https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-doze... now imagine the next pandemic when this misinformation will be produced on an industrial scale using these LLMs. Literally millions will die because of it.

> It was an opportunity for the locals to move around in organized groups, even march around doing military drills, without causing the colonial leadership to panic and retaliate.

It seems like we have entered the explanation phase where reasons are discovered where the stupid and pointless thing actually had some minimal benefit that in no way was worth the effort expended.

I think this is generally a good sign as it means the pain from the event is fading and so people can reflect on it in sort of silly and absurd ways.

Bruh.

Apart from the hypocrisy there, the fact is Feynman did science. He did more science than Popper, Kuhn, and Hume put together. He understood it on a level deeper than >99% of other scientists, and >99.9% of philosophers.

That he did so with a "three hundred year" out of date view doesn't really reflect well on PoS's utility for actual scientists.

> And the second question is, should only a handful of people be deciding that.

Yes. Large groups can't formulate answers to complex questions. The way hive minds make great decisions is by using algorithms to select the handful quickly and effectively.

Consider an online forum with comments and voting. The top few comments are usually much more insightful than the average comment - the forum can be very intelligent. But only a handful of comments actually express that. The same basic forces hold in politics. For any decision there are only a handful of people needed to get a good result and the major complication is finding them, appointing them, resourcing them and determining if the people are corrupt.

> go to mars[1]. The fuck!?

After a century, technological processes trumps most other concerns for bettering the lot of humanity. Without ill-will, if you're feeling an emotion it is more than likely pulling you away from long term gain and towards short term certainty. The reason people like Musk get to make the decisions is because they are a lot better than average at doing the rational thing rather than falling into the emotional trap of burning the seed corn.

If watching governments attempt to budget teaches us anything it is that collective groups completely suck at managing resources long term. They are appallingly bad. It is hard to overemphasise just how bad mass voting is at managing a budget. The US is doing comparatively well as far as governments go - and it is the largest debtor in history. It is just a big whirlpool sucking effort in and putting it all towards unproductive projects. You can argue for better or worse, but it is a lesson in why billionaires are allowed to be that wealthy. Someone has to generate the wealth and the government isn't up to the challenge.
Maybe _you_ can’t but this is well studied and robust.

Do you also disagree with excess death calculations from the pandemic?
Here’s a conspiracy theory: it’s not the 5G vaccine microchip fringe that’s the problem, it’s the people who make sure to bring up the wildest, most extreme oppositional “conspiracy theories” when defending their beliefs in order to paint all critique of their position with the same brush, even if more reasonable “conspiracy theories” are vastly more common.

IE, it’s not the rare lunatic fringe that’s the issue, it’s the people in your last paragraph. That said, I think this grace should be given to the lunatic fringe: they instinctually feel something’s “not right” and the rest is all rationalization and theorycrafting divorced from reality. If they had the education and abilities they’d be among the reasonable set. But human instincts honed by millions of years of evolution should not be ignored, even if the rationalized theories are nonsense: SOMETHING really is wrong and needs to be corrected. Instead of ignoring these people we should be asking what in the social environment is setting them off.

Can you expand on this allusion? I don’t immediately understand the connection.
> Maybe your objection to physical punishment isn't "it is too harsh a punishment for refusing to clean up" but instead "I don't think it will work"?

Definitely both. I believe that it's ineffective, but even if it was effective I wouldn't be inclined to use it.

I feel like punishment in general is thought of as a very one dimensional thing, but in reality people have much more complex motivations.

You kind of get at that with "it's usually something like not being willing to help them start something new until they have cleaned up what they were already working on". It's not really punishment, but it's still a motivator for them to do the task.

I feel like you can teach kids the general pattern like you mentioned without "punishing" them per se.
The old problem with Podman was always was that it was never exponentially better. And I don't believe, at this point, that Podman will ever replace the Docker ecosystem. And now the problem is that I view RedHat/IBM as hostile to open source, so there's no way I'm going to use or recommend it - just the same way I stopped considering using Windows platforms post Windows 2008 timeframe.
Someone else could move in and take the oil by force. Not so with paper securities.

That's because very few people want to live in the 80% of Nevada that's mountainous rugged terrain or sandblasted desert, free of water, power, jobs, or infrastructure. Let's fix the problem in the places where people want to live first before we look at the federal government.
