Yeah, you could find a pattern that wins 99% of the time to yield 1% of what you risk, but you don't consider that there's always 1% odds of losing it all and it's priced in, it just hasn't happened to happen yet, but systems with more precise data have accounted for it.

E.g. something like selling 0dte options sufficiently out of money might seem like a free money hack, but once something unexpected happens you are down to just "who could have possibly foreseen that event to occur, my decision making was solid.".

I always tell people that result of coin flip is highly start state dependent.
Imagine a sequence of H(ead), T(ail), H, T, H, T, ... if the sequence starts with H first, in no way can the number of T exceed that of H, but the number of H might be 1 greater that that of T. I never tested my self, but I hypothesize that the propability will be more skewed if the number of revolutions is less, i.e. having a shorter Head-Tail sequence.

Edit: The sequence was meant to represent the sequence of head and tail facing up during the rotation. A sequence of [H, T] denotes one full rotation, starting with head. [T, H, T, H] denotes two full rotation, starting with a tail, ends with a head. I didn't mean the result of a flip. So the result of a flip is the final element of the sequence.
Indeed.

It's simpler: an ideal coin flip is simply assumed to be uniformly distributed, on the basis of there being two possible outcomes and no influence. Where the bias in reality comes from, doesn't matter.

This also happens to be the great divide between frequentists and Bayesians.

Very interesting. An acquaintence was describing something similar - a frustratingly high rate of early failures across various bulb types usually meant to last 10-15 years.

I have exclusively IKEA smart bulbs where the right fitment is available, plus a motley array of other bulbs and LED lamps (often cheapish Chinese brands resold on Amazon) where IKEA doesn't offer something suitable, and I've not had a single failure in ~5 years. Such a disparity is difficult to explain.
That's a great analysis. I didn't think about the sheer quantities of materials needed.

Copilot was not around when I wrote the Tweet.

But when Copilot came out, I was indeed ignorant! I remember when a friend showed it to me for the first time. I was like "Yeah, it outputs almost correct boilerplate code for you. But thankfully my coding is so that I don't have to write boilerplate". I didn't expect it to be able to write fully functional tools and understand them well enough to actually write pretty nice code!

Regarding "there isn't anything like that this time." : Quite the opposite! We have not figured out where using larger models and throwing more data at them will level off! This could go on for quite a while. With FSD 12, Tesla is already testing self driving with a single large neural net, without any glue code. I am super curious how that will turn out.

Good.

Capitalism is not the same as a working market.

A working market depends on many things, including price transparency. If people don't know how much they are paying for a service of unknown quality, they can't compare products and services.

Hidden fees are one way to prevent price transparency, but they are not the only one.

It may seem strange, but a working free market needs strong guidance. Laissez-faire capitalism will lead to broken markets with loss of freedom. There are too many ways to impede market competition. Here is a list of some, without claiming to be complete:

- Monopolies and oligopolies

- Cartels and collusion

- Confusion marketing (confusopoly)

- Hidden fees

- External costs

Especially external costs are insidious. This means that a company does not pay for everything it uses. For example, if a company lets it rip and pollutes a river instead of having its wastewater processed, it transfers the cost of pollution to everyone else.

When I was younger, I believed that capitalism would solve everything because of the invisible hand, a concept introduced by Adam Smith. The invisible hand is the idea that even if everyone egoistically optimizes their own benefits, there will be a natural collaboration that will achieve progress.

Today I know that this can work with a lot of strong guidance. One example: California has banned hidden fees.

That would actually require demolishing them and building residential buildings from scratch. Most office spaces are not designed to be inhabitable 24/7, they would suck as apartments.
I think if I were concerned, I'd try creating a honeypot account on some service that notifies me when someone new logs in (like google). Then I'd log into that account sometimes while playing the game and monitor it for any new logins. It still could have a keylogger even after all that, though.
Idk, it really depends on how strong your affiliated lobby group is. The average voter competes against the Havard Kennedy or Oxford etc. graduate-led super PACs, lobby groups, whatever. So yes, it gets easier to believe "democracy" doesn't work or exist. However, lobby groups and elected officials wouldn't be a thing if we (society) didn't have the impetus, burden, or requirement to collectively believe (or have others do) that a thing such as democracy does exist. So if someone has a requirement to make you believe something, you have to ask why? In most cases you can acquire some kind of resolution using that.
Well, my point is that you perceive progress to be fast since you went from not understanding what existed to later getting in on it. That doesn't mean progress was that fast, it means that you just discovered a new domain.

Trying to extrapolate actual progress is bad in itself, but trying to extrapolate your perceived progress is even worse.

The article doesn't say that LLMs aren't useful - the "hype" they mean is overestimating their capabilities. An LLM may be able to pass a "theory of mind" test, or it may fail spectacularly, depending on how you prompt it. And that's because, despite all of its training data, it's not capable of actually reasoning. That may change in the future, but we're not there yet, and (AFAIK) nobody can tell how long it will take to get there.
Oh I don't even know where to start with this. Given that C is the lingua franca of embedded development, and each processor and compiler has different opinions of what an int is, I would never claim that an int is 32 bits.

It's just so much less error prone to define a uint32_t. That's guaranteed to be the same

And as for paying land value tax, I will pay mine when cities pay theirs. Cities and states give abatements that are not needed but allow wealthy land owners to dodge taxes.

Increase fuel taxes, I expect to have an electric car. I also expect to have home solar and collect rain water. Something I cannot do in my home city of NYC. I would be more than happy to pay for the roads and needs of my community.

What I don't want to subsidize is all your social problems that cities seem to like to force me to pay for, which will save me a lot of money while I enjoy my distance from the city.

> Help me here, why do GC improvements cause CPU increase?

In Java 8 (afaik) there were pretty much no generational or concurrent garbage collectors, so garbage collector would happen in a stop-the-world manner: all work gets put on a halt, garbage collection happens, then the work can resume.

If you have a better GC, you have shorter and less frequent needs to do a stop the world pause.

Hence the code can run on cpu for more time, getting you higher cpu usage.

Higher cpu usage is often actually good in situations like this: it means you're getting more work done with the same cpu/memory configuration.
Those are image/voice generation, the topic is about potential replacement of knowledge workers such as coders. The discussion about image/voice generation is a very different topic since nobody thinks those are moving towards AGI and nobody argued they were "conscious" etc.

AFAICT: The PIN wouldn't be transmitted to the server but rather unlock a vault containing cryptographic keys on your device that then sign an intent to log in. So it's passwordless for the website operator, and for the user the password is no longer enough to log in to a website, since you also need access to the vault.
In addition to that home-manager does not have have the same value NixOS modules have. You are mostly translating configs and not receiving big parts which are normally copied from the documentation for free.

Also decades ago someone criticised "bigdata hype" and "microservices hype" and looks right now. Doing things just out of FOMO is rarely a good business decision. It can pay out, even a broken clock is right twice a day, but it's definitely bad to follow every new thing just because Gartner mentioned it. I'm not giving advice of course, but having seen enterprises betting good money even on NFT I tend to treat every new enterprise powerpoint idea with a certain dose of skepticism.

PS/2 connectors were a regression on AT DIN & D sub 9-pin serial for most practical purposes.

The only upside of PS/2 was a higher mouse data rate, particularly with high monitor refresh rates, made mouse movement smoother. You didn't get this for free in Windows though, you needed a registry tweak to tell the mouse driver to bump the sample rate.

The huge downside was that PS/2 peripherals couldn't be inserted when the PC is turned on. They need to be inserted at boot time, and aren't detected if they're plugged in later.

And the keyboard and mouse connectors were physically the same but not generally switchable.
Luckily for image generation they did not win. Different situation for LLMs though. You are correct that it would only entrench positions.

I am angry at EU legislation. While it was heavily involved in research, legislation are again on the course to fortify dominance of established big tech players. Probably because their interests often align with media interests, which have a huge influence on EU politics.

You encounter this in older industrial equipment. Some of the old ethernet chipsets don't support automatically switching the pairs around. It's not really a problem since at least in our local area they need to be installed by licensed cablers who are used to dealing with legacy devices.

Many devices won't get updated until chipsets go EOL or there's some other compelling reason to do so.

Having said that, modern chipsets seem to all support it.

“Open that door, and clean these lenses.”

It’s comedy gold. I remember when Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton tried to riff on this on TechTV, I think it was a one-off special and not part of The Screen Savers, but not sure on that. It was somehow also awful, but in a good way. It’s a hard watch but not at all possible to take seriously cinematically, but thematically it’s horrific. The delivery in the film reminds me of The Room in parts, it’s that bad. And watching Leo and Patrick try to make it through (live?) was a layer cake of disgust and schadenfreude.

I’m not sure that this was ever repeated on TechTV, but I think they reran the special that weekend. I watched it again and it was just as bad and yet good upon rewatch. The line I quoted above by an egg-covered AI was matched by the truly horrific anti-women ending, and that part definitely worked thematically, as we the audience were supposed to be horrified, but I did not expect it to be so truly vile and graphic, and that part really was tough to watch and wasn’t funny at all, which maybe was intentional juxtaposition, now that I think about it?

Gonna check out D.A.R.Y.L. which is new to me.

Check out Murdercycle, it somehow has the same vibe and I think is one of the only live action productions that David Hayter, English voice actor of Solid Snake of Metal Gear Solid starred in. It’s awful. You’ll love it maybe.
I can't quite define what counts as start of sequence. Maybe a sequence should always have at least one element, and toss straight up is allowed. But if some flipping is mandatory, then the start of sequence would mean the other side of the coin. All I could deduce before this paper is the probabilty of coin flip is skewed.
