Thanks for this response, it's really interesting.

> For workloads where dynamic load skew across cores is common, which is the more interesting problem, work-stealing becomes a performance bottleneck due to coordination overhead. Nonetheless, it is easy to understand so people still use work-stealing when the workload is amenable to it, it just doesn’t generalize well

This sounds right to me. The reason Rust async frameworks use work-stealing is mainly that it's easy to enable at the framework level and will improve performance in a lot of applications, especially those that are not ideally architected. Based on your comment and your self-description on your profile, these are not the kinds of applications you work on.

I would be interested in receiving links to more literature.
We only use an extremely small sliver of that volume, the surface of the Earth and some of the space above the surface but that is so small it's hardly worth mentioning.

If the biosphere is the problem, then we should work to improve and expand the biosphere. Set aside land but also create new habitable land by greening deserts, expanding islands and pushing back shoreline to reclaim land. We've done this before, we're currently doing and we should do more of it.

If habitable space for human occupation is the trouble then we should come up with novel ways to occupy the same valuable land with more people and provide more space to each person. We do this by constructing tall buildings, we should do more of that instead of having absurd limitations on building height in many areas. We should also innovate and build more things underground, the first obvious thing to move underground is transportation but there's no reason we couldn't locate buildings that consume a lot of square footage there too and in so doing free up the surface level e.g. sports arenas and convention centres.

We could also innovate in the areas of mining and agriculture. Agriculture especially is currently very wasteful. It takes place in a completely uncontrolled environment that results in many inefficiencies. With sufficient power from a nuclear plant that activity could be moved indoors with a combination of natural and artificial light and heat enabling that land to be used year round for crops, increasing yields by extending daylight hours and reducing evaporation of water and wasted water that sinks too low into the ground or runs off which would greatly reduce water consumption and prevent wastage and side effects of fertilizers. It would also greatly reduce the need for pesticides while reducing loss of crops to pests. For mining there are proposed technologies such as extracting minerals from sea water or ocean bed mining.
No the dynamically typed language is not typed, the variable grows in size indefinitely to fit the number.

Dynamically typed languages are more powerful languages that can handle problems like this correctly.
If it's just a "glorified curl UI" what's the problem? Just use curl, or build your own, if it's so trivial.

You are kicking the tires awfully hard for a solution to a problem you claim is easy.
I hate this sentiment. It can be used about, well, anything at all that might cause your risk of anything to go up as far as science understands it today (which might be different tomorrow, they're always learning).

Accident while biking? Nope - too risky, no care for you.
Eat red meat and get cancer? Too bad, no treatment for you. Same for drinking wine, or doing any of the thousands of things "they" say MAY raise your cancer risk.

Joint problems happen to all manner of people, thin or fat, but we'll only pay for treatment for the thin ones.

It just goes on.

Humans are amazingly adaptable in the environments they can live in from the Antarctic to the Sahara. Humans will definitely go on in any future climatic situation, but it would be much easier if there were lots of temperate arable land and we hadn't killed off 80% of all known species.
I think OpenAI got there first, and Microsoft had been working with them behind the scenes. Google and Facebook got caught off guard and so sort of rushed to release their products; Google released bard in a somewhat incomplete state, and Facebook simply open sourced the work they had been doing internally.

Google engineers actually created the technology (transformers[1]) which enabled these LLMs, but OpenAI simply released first.

> The whole real estate market and a giant chunk of the financial system runs on the idea that housing must always go up, which necessitates that it must become less affordable over time.

The same is true for healthcare. Pfizer needs to demonstrate ongoing growth to their shareholders; insurance companies are bound by the ACA to a maximum profit margin so can only increase profits by growing costs; half the new commercial real estate in my area is medical buildings going up.
If the margins and demand is there Intel will eventually show up

I have been on two projects now that use web frameworks to ship complex management applications and both were nightmares. The cost of doing even simple changes was not small. React has been way worse than angular on this front too. People do not understand it. They do not think "the react way". They invariably code something that doesn't consider reacting to change properly and now you have a complex component that is refreshing all the time

I use the VS Code REST extension a lot but it does lack some of the aspects that make Postman easier for teams and larger projects. It's super easy to define a "collection" as an .http page for smaller and one-off needs though.
Mine's `set -eEuo pipefail`.

I'd have to look up exactly what's what, but if you're inclined to `-e` you probably want the others too. (Off the top of my head I think E is the same thing in functions, u is bail out if a variable is used without being defined (instead of treating it as empty string), and pipefail is similar for when you pipe to something else like `this_errs | grep something`.)

I don't like `-x` personally, I find it way too verbose; more confusing than helpful.
That's the original title of the submission, though.
That problem is also solved by dynamically typed languages. Your IDE picks it up.
Ish? You are, of course, more than welcome to not like things. Dislike them, even. Really, you are more than welcome to dog pile on things, freedom and all of that. It is still annoying and generally not a healthy activity, from my point of view.

The theory of "revolutions" suggests that at a certain level, we can view human progress as trancending certain boundaries.

Prior to ~100K years ago, humans didn't innovate. The toolkit was unchanged for > 1M years (at least the toolkit discovered by archeology).
Then something changed, and the toolkit updated much more frequently.

Then the neolithic revolution, we "transcended" local food supplies via agriculture.

Then the "industrial revolution" (yes, it is debatable as a concept, but clearly the ability to sustain exponential growth in tech changed sometime after 1500) let us push past the bounds of muscle power.

So if we get another "revolution" that lets us somehow trancend the next thing, we might be ok.

OTOH, there are the classic experiments with bacteria in a closed petri dish, they eat everything and die.

So yes, there are real boundaries. Question is if we can innovate around them.

>As a rule, chatbots today have a propensity to confidently make stuff up, or, as some researchers say, “hallucinate.” At the root of these hallucinations is an inability to introspect: the A.I. doesn’t know what it does and doesn’t know.

The last bit doesn't seem to be true. There's quite a lot of indication that the computation can distinguishing hallucinations. It just has no incentive to communicate this.

Also even if we're strictly talking about text, there is still a ton of data left to train on. We've just barely reached what is easily scrapable online and are nowhere near a real limit yet. And of course, you can just train more than one epoch. That said, it's very clear quality data is far more helpful than sheer quantity and sheer quantity is more likely than not to derail progress.

My incredulity is genuine: I don't have a dog in this particular race, but it's remarkable how the commentary here on HN is so strongly siding with one party! (For comparison, check out the Reddit threads, where most of that site's demographic are supporting the tenant).

Your "exploit" description is a little emotionally charged. Business transactions happen all the time where one party gets screwed because they failed to read the contract, or failed to know the law, or failed to do due diligence. As a business person, you kind of have to sweat the details if you're going to hang your shingle out there and try to make money. This landlord got screwed, no doubt, but it was due to their own incompetence + having a smart counterparty to the transaction who apparently did her homework.

Even though halting is generally undecidable, there are still large classes of programs for which you _can_ show termination. If you reject every program for which you cannot show termination, you will also reject some programs that terminate, but you never need to worry about halting again. Indeed, languages such as Idris do exactly that. [0]

Ozempic is a pen-style injector, not a pill.
I should have been more direct.

The chip is being designed by a French company, they can license the IP from outside the EU while still building up the EU domestic chip building capabilities. They’ve just outsourced one (big) piece of the puzzle.

Calling ARM a Japanese company was just to highlight the international nature of these sorts of projects.
I agree with your general point, although (and it may not be the same everywhere, but is certainly true in the UK) Ozempic is supplied as a pre-filled pen injector that handles the dose for you, and is taken once a week - there are no markings for a half-dose (and the patient info sheet seems to suggest that a partial dose isn't possible)

This revolution in science

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renormalization_group

didn't last long enough to finish grad school.

That idea of "build a language model by predicting the next token" was floating around for a while, I was in two startups that were trying similar things long before it was really feasible.

First we were trying to make something that could write fake abstracts for clinical reports from PubMed as a proxy for clinical notes with LSTM, GRUs and such.

Later we were training CNNs to complete a battery of classification tasks and believed this could make a "foundation model" that could be trained to new tasks easily.

I had a long list of serious problems that doomed many lines of development related to what I was doing and when BERT came it was clear to me that subword tokens were essential (e.g. word vectors are doomed because half the time the most important word isn't in the dictionary!) and also that attention addressed the problem nobody really wanted to face with LSTM which is that in a story about a person you have to copy that person's name and variations over and over again.

It wasn't clear to me that transformers were going to be as successful as they were.

It helps also that there was a big investment in training technology. Often technological revolutions happen when there is a surplus in the base technologies. For instance, experts in 1970 anticipated we were going to get something like the WWW in 1980 but it was really 15 years late because there was no single company that was going to make the end-to-end investment to bring it to the mass market, excerpt in France

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel

(The TRS-80 Color Computer wasn't really intended to be a computer to teach kids BASIC, it was intended to be a terminal for teleagriculture!)

When the web came out, however, the cost of investment in making it work had dropped so low that it didn't take one company to invest in an optimized end-to-end system, rather a bunch of little investments (like the one people made in a 32-bit PC) added up to a network that looked like the computer on the bridge of the Enterprise.
Funny, I wrote this the other day on HN:

I eventually wound up with Kinesis ergo keyboards and stopped being much "into" keyboards; they are a means to an end: https://jakeseliger.com/2011/07/17/further-thoughts-on-the-k...

Now I have an Advantage 3 with Box White switches, after admittedly talking to an Upgrade Keyboards key switch sommelier, which I somewhat undercuts my first sentence in the preceding paragraph.

New hardware is fun but, simultaneously, keyboards are fundamentally means to an end, more than ends in themselves. Then there are people like Stapelberg, who produced the stapelberg for the Kinesis keyboards, and who I have to admire for their obsession with modding and their fortitude: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2020-07-09-kint-kinesis-...

Indeed. I have brought this up when people reference "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and mistakenly attribute a false meaning to it. What an approachable paper, what is the excuse for not simply reading it? To boil it down to one quote and then to use that quote to dogmatically advocate for practically the opposite of the point is... sigh.

The way I see things, the bar is lower than ever to be a good engineer. You put in some minor level of effort and you're 80% above everyone else.

Is this all stuff that you had kept in your Scratchpad? I think Postman had been warning users for months that Scratchpad would be going away, and that you should migrate everything to a workspace.

I'm not saying the decision is right; personally I much preferred the scratch, because it didn't require a freaking network request every time I want to look at my API collections. I'm just saying, this didn't come out of nowhere.

First, thank you for the section.

Unfortunately I can't comment on this particular story, from what I can tell it is not in my edition of the book.

The best I can find on this particular section is that it was in the first edition. I have the third edition so if it isn't there that would make sense why I don't recognize this story.

For context page 174 on my book is talking about Consent and Making Agreements. The 2 references I can find is that it is either Chapter 11, or the first chapter of part 4. Which in my book is either "The Unethical Slut" or "Making Connections" neither of which can I find a story like this. Maybe it is in this edition but I don't currently see it. There is also no chapter or anything in index referred to as "Finding Partners".

However, again without actually reading the story, I feel like we are doing ourselves a diservice if we also don't talk about where things get messy in this regard. A lot of what happens in these spaces are inertially uncomfortable for first time people. or people say the wrong thing and pressure someone into it. We should be able to admit faults and to call the entire book "fucked up" with a single chosen section really doesn't advance the conversation.

To be clear it is wrong that she was pressured, but again without actually being able to read the story myself I am finding it difficult to actually comment on it.

The way Google did it was that you listed where you were going and what dates and they did some sort of magical formula to figure out your max allowable costs for the trip. They were always well above the minimum costs. For every $2 below the cap, you got $1 to be able to exceed the cap in the future. It ended up working out so about every 5 economy trips you could do one business class trip (depending on how economical you were). I felt like it aligned the incentives well.
This sort of ridiculous, silly rhetoric needs to end. It's not just unproductive, it's counter-productive.
