> Considering that pedestrian and cyclist deaths are at a 40-year high, Zipper argues it’s time to simply ban right turns at red lights.

I'd like to understand how many pedestrian and cyclists deaths are due to ROR, how many are due to huge vehicles with poor visibility, and how many are due to people talking and texting on phones while driving.

I wouldn't mind banning ROR, but I sort of hate it when people focus on a minor cause of a problem and ignore larger causes.

Moving the gap from front to end - it takes O(n) time to do that both on the text (gap) buffer and the line-tracking (gap) buffer, so you're only a small constant factor worse.

Find the position of the Nth line is O(1) because N is either before the gap, in which case you just look up the Nth entry in the line-tracking buffer to get the position in the text buffer (which can be similarly mapped back to a position not including the gap in constant time if that's what you need), or N after the gap and you adjust the arithmetic to include the size of the gap.
> The sense data your brain ingests does not map perfectly or even particularly closely to the real physical world we inhabit.

I never argued otherwise, though being aware that there is a physical world that I can interact with helps! The point is that the only reason the LLM's transformation of syntax approximated an Othello board was the unusually perfect correspondence between permutations, syntax and efficient storage that seldom exists. In other circumstances your LLM vectors are modelling language constructs, lies and other abstractions that only incidentally touch on world and brain state.

The term "understanding" is generally used by humans to refer to how humans model reality[1] and need not imply completeness. But it also implies that a model isn't extremely dissimilar to humans in what its parsed and how its parsed it. Or to slightly alter your example, if a bat argued that following the bat swarm well enough to locate the exit didn't mean humans had achieved "true echolocation", I'd have to agree with them.

I mean, a photograph and a pocket calculator are also representations of some aspect of the state of the world, sometimes even representing a particular subset of the world information in sufficient fidelity to allow humans to make much better predictions about it. But fewer people seem to wish to stan for the capacity of the calculator or the bitmap to have "real understanding" of the outputs they emit, even though fundamentally the LLM has much in common with them and far less in common with the human...

To me, urgency means the time to do it is now/soon. And importance means we should do it.

Urgency and importance both affect prioritization. Something that is urgent and important should usually be done first. Something urgent and not important needs to be done soon or not at all --- and both are valid choices. Something important and not urgent is likely to be delayed, at least until it is urgent. Something neither important nor urgent may be delayed or dropped --- again, both are valid choices.

For abstractions think: automated memory management, rich class/object libraries, idiomatic libraries, compilers that recognize and vectorize common usage patterns, runtime error handling, dynamic typing, etc.

That's not obfuscation, its faster code development, easier to read code, simpler maintainability.

Everything at a higher level than stack, manual heap, processor instruction, registers, explicit addressing and modes, direct I/O, and networking primitives level.

To have all that help, but still be able to drop down to the lowest level, in one consistent toolset is really nice for development and reliable sharing.

I don't want to use the term "dumb" for your take since I don't really address people that way but it does not matter if threads shows me ten AI landscapes or 100, the point is that once images displaying what would take a human dozens of hours of technical skill to produce are easily churned out by the thousands each hour, the entire value of such art for human enjoyment drops to zero as it's no longer special or interesting.
And this (the OOM behaviour instead of the paging behaviour on linux) is something that can (and should) be criticised. Every time I encountered a situation where I was running out of memory (usually due to some out of control process) the system would become completely unusable. All interactivity is gone, so it was impossible to kill the out of control process (which was typically misconfigured program i started). If the OOM killer started to take action it would almost never kill the process that was gobling up memory like crazy but instead any of the other apps that are necessary to intervene (like e.g. the terminal or the WM). It always seemed incredibly stupid to me.

I remember some time back there was discussion about improving the OOM killer, but I don't know what came out of it.
Disk retrieval is definitely slower. In-memory retrieval typically can be ~1ms or less, whereas disk retrieval on a fast network drive is 50-100ms. But frankly, for any use case I can think of 50ms of latency is good enough. The best part is that the cost is driven by disk not ram, which means instead of $50k/month for ~TB of RAM you're talking about $1k/mo for a fast NVMe on a fast link. That's 50x cheaper, because disks are 50x cheaper. $50k/mo for an extra 50ms latency is a pretty clear easy tradeoff.
Why the Lucky Stiff had one for a while. It was fun, but it worked by putting in his server as your DNS, and it (from what I recall) man-in-the-middled the entire web to insert comment blocks on every page. I don’t think that would work anymore, and I imagine it was a nightmare to keep running.
That is helpful to know for Docker containers, thank you.

The use-case where we find the renaming most frustrating is typically when we start a cloud instance with a Tailscale setup script in the cloud init (via Terraform). If we, say, change a parameter that requires Terraform to restart that instance, then the freshly-started instance will be given a `-1` name by Tailscale and the old instance will be offline.

I wish there would simply be a --force-hostname option or something of that nature that tells Tailscale "if a host is authenticating with this name, give it that name, any older machines using that name should be kicked off"

Exercising today is important, because it contributes to my long-term goals, but it isn’t urgent – I can do it this morning, tonight, or even delay it a few days if need be.

Buying food for dinner tonight is urgent, because without it I can’t eat tonight. It’s not important, however, in that even in the worst-case scenario where I miss a meal, nothing bad happens.

Paying my rent is both important and urgent, in that it’s time-sensitive and has substantial consequences if I fail to do so.

> Depends on what things are in your ram.

No offense, but you are being a very precise in defense but very broad in your (in general incorrect) claim.

The representation of an image sitting in memory will be a bitmap array, and for sure that will compress quite well. Video data as well but any decompressed frames are so transient I agree they won't benefit. ML-models don't compress well, but training data certainly does.

If you put aside mapping already compressed or non-compressable data into memory, all the rest of the things ram is used for can be compressed. Day to day you will have a lot of memory allocated that can be compressed. Most memory in use right now on most computers is compressible.
I always explain it this way:

Even though the walked back the price change this time, Unity still contends that they have the authority to increase the price and apply that price increase to old versions even if the users don't agree [1].

Unreal lets users stick to a license with predictable fees.

By using Unity you are still agreeing to a liability with no limit that can change at any time and your only recourse is to cease development or stop selling your already-complete game.

I disagree.

There are plenty of different fabrication technologies to suit different scales. Some listed by other commenters.

I agree iteration is good, and good hardware companies do iterate hardware. It's something I have always been a proponent of as a hardware engineer. But also the reality is that everything in hardware land costs 10-100 times as much and takes 10-100 times longer.

To properly develop and iterate on hardware, you need to do upfront investment. You need:

1) Tools for the hardware engineers (scopes, spec-ans, tool shop, test equipment). [In software parlance, download the IDE, debuggers and libraries. You're not going to ask your developers to work without those. That would be ludicrous.]

2) You need to iterate EARLY in the product cycle process and this costs money (but still much less than changing your final tooling). [Software parlance again: You only ever really edit the source code. You would never ask a developer to binary patch a compiler to fix issues in your source code. This is what you're doing IMO when changing final tooling on a product.]

3) You need to account for lead times for fabrication and shipping of a physical thing. [Software parlance again: Compiling takes days to weeks. QA weeks to months.]

I think software majority companies struggle with these because (when compared to hardware):

1) Software tooling is essentially free.

2) You can stop and go back to the source code to re-iterate at any time and the down stream processes to "finish the iteration".

3) Time for iteration is seconds, minutes maybe hours while you wait for a compiler to run.

Speaking about Toyota Production System: This has many misconceptions as nobody ever seems to actually read the source material. One of these myths is iterations. Toyota iterate often and EARLY. You get the part right and THEN you can THINK about final tooling. They don't iterate on final tooling, that is expensive and time consuming.

I would say with some work and trade offs you can save on your product in the 300-500 range. You shouldn't be in the Defense/Aerospace/Medical area unless you are doing something quite esoteric.

As others have stated on the final point (but I will reiterate) no senior software person in the US would be happy with $20 for 30 minutes.

Pivot tables are powerful because they operate on the principle of multidimensional analysis, an intuitive framework for measuring (facts) by categories (dimensions). Facts and dimensions are abstracted into an organized calculation model also known as cubes or OLAP or star schema.
Garcia is white—her maiden name is McIver. So the black candidate got the majority of black support, the white candidate got the majority of whites, the Asian won the majority of Asians.

I might find Adams’ criticisms of white progressives amusing, but it’s not a recipe for building a city focused on getting the trains to run on time.

> It also seems to fit oddly with the fact that progressives of all races voted against Adams.

Progressives make up a small percentage of the electorate. The fact that racial conflict plays a major and destructive role in city politics doesn’t mean there aren’t also other issues in play.

I hear about this imbalance for the first time, and reading about it for half an hour left an impression that no one tried hard to prove anything.

The very first thing that begs to be done is to plot this imbalance on a time axis to see was it kept constant over time, or maybe people made clockwise stairs at first and switched to counter-clockwise later.

But it is not the only possible correlation you can measure before assessing the hypothesis space. Does direction of a stair correlates with geography? With a number of times a castle changed his owner? With a size of a castle? ...

I'm pretty sure you can get some idea of it all by studying historical sources. But I see no evidence someone bothered to do it. All I see people speculate a lot.

In this situation, I believe the most reasonable will be to file the question as having no answer and to forget it as having no importance.
