Other ways are possible. Japanese culture for one seems to take a very different approach.

A friend was recently explaining to me, that they seriously consider the impact of things like tech, automation, etc on jobs.

So, often they decide to not automate stuff in order to keep the jobs for their workers. Sounds like better workplace stability.
I think it is deliberately made difficult as a backdoor way to raise more money through penalties and interest fees. Additionally, since the odds are so high that the average person making above $200K has made an error, it can be used as blackmail.

On a global scale, complex taxes are actually not uncommon and the US fares well. I'd like to see a comparison of government corruption with tax complexity. For example, it seems that most South American countries are considered to have very complex taxes.
Not OP, but i took that statement to mean it's the observed quest for humanity. In every step we put great effort into ensuring we aren't the ones who work. Be it slaves, harnessing electricity, general technology and etc.

We do seem to strive to push towards extremes of optimization. Consequences be damned.

RowHammer/RowPress are scarier than most other attacks, because they expose the fact that the memory chips do not behave as advertised, i.e. they do not keep the promise to return on reading the bits that have been written into them, even if their datasheet specifications are not violated.

Unlike any other attacks, the memory access patterns used by RowHammer/RowPress may happen when some program is run, without any intention, accidentally, and such an event would cause memory corruption.

Even if such access patterns are very unlikely, it would be an unreasonable burden for programmers to analyze all the programs, to be able to guarantee that such memory access patterns can never happen, especially taking into account that the actual access pattern can vary non-deterministically, due to out-of-order execution and interaction between concurrent threads.

The only acceptable solution is for the memory producers to improve their products so that their datasheets will correspond to their real behavior.
Yeah, on a RP diet refined sugars including fructose from juices are encouraged.
I mentioned this in another comment, but I think it bears repeating since you mentioned "FAIK, podcast owner often provide show notes, not the whole text version for their show." -- take a look at the podcasting 2.0 specs, they absolutely do provide transcripts to whole shows.

It's an open source standard which includes transcripts, chapter art, and a bunch of other added functionality which is being driven by Adam Currey, who is known for the original creation of podcasting, was an MTV VJ who ran mtv.com before MTV realized there was value there, and now hosts the No Agenda podcast.

I have a feeling you will find some value in the standards, given that the transcript format/metadata is already established.

That implies routing control. I would expect the NTIA (Dept of Commerce) to be tasked with that, closely advised by CISA.

The FCC's purview is more tied to licensing and regulation.
Also there programs like „Kurzarbeit“ rough translation would be „Shortened Work“.

Where you get 60%-85% of your salary (after tax) without work or with way less ours, if the employer has no work/less work (like covid period). It’s payed mostly by the state. Up to 12 month. Regulations are strict.

Prevents layoffs and helps starting the upturn of production like automobile industry, where it takes months or half a year to start ramping up production.
Worldwide Caution
Aside from the social risks and centralization of control, I think the rush to convert everything to LLMs puts quite a bit of our progress in computer science at risk should it prove to be successful. Over the last several decades we've built up more complex and precise notation and systems to allow for repeatability, reliability, composability, etc. And large companies are currently attempting to trash all of the field's progress on notation in favor of talking to the computer in English (a rich but highly error-prone language) and then having the computer do impenetrable transformations guided only by pretty-please prompts with the hope that some high percentage of the time the result will be usable.
To be fair, 86000 is the size of Meta. and I'm surprised to begin with that Meta has 86000 employees to begin with. They weren't saying that they shouldn't have that many employees, just unaware of the scale of the company.

Here is a killer LMS feature: instructor uploads PDF of this week's reading, and the LLM generates a 20 question assessment with randomized multiple-choice questions.

Or how about thinking deeply about assessment questions that are semi-resistant to LLMs? Justin Wolfers just did a webinar where he talked about visual questions (line moving) as being the most resistant economics questions to LLMs. What about designing from the ground-up to use elements that are LLM-resistant?

Do a really good job of implementing LTI (semi-complex standard) so you can instantly integrate third-party apps. Takes pressure off you to build every tool/feature.

Hi, author here.

Funny you should give the stream-encoding MP4 example, because yes that is what people's experience has been for S3. We've solved that - no temporary local file needed - all streamed directly to S3, for example using ordinary ffmpeg. The trick is a deeper understanding of how multi-part upload works, and if necessary, server-side copy semantics on those parts.

I basically only saw three main categories of cars in Shenzen: Chinese EVs, Teslas, BMW ICE cars. There are of course other cars, but it seems like 8/10 cars is one of these three.

What is weirdly missing is Japanese hybrid/ice/electric cars. They are almost non-existent in Shenzen despite dominating in most areas of the world. Also, I can't recall seeing any Korean cars here.

There were a few Toyata ICE cars in the rural areas I visited but it seems like they're going away fast.
You’re a bit mixed up here. A few millennia before the Indo-Europeans was the farming expansion out of Anatolia, and that already had a dramatic impact on the ethnic landscape in Europe. Moreover, the early steppe-oriented Indo-Europeans were not major practitioners of farming but pastoralists, and they only settled into farming once they merged with the settled agriculture communities that were already there in Europe.

Stuff like this is handled in a (3rd-party) UNICODE library in the C/C++ world, which should ideally work on UTF-8 encoded byte arrays, provided by another (3rd-party) UTF-8 encoding/decoding library.

Other then that high-level UNICODE stuff (like finding grapheme cluster boundaries) UTF-8 itself really works fine in C/C++ anywhere than Windows in the sense that I can write a foreign-language "Hello World!" and it "just works" (e.g. if the whole source file is UTF-8 encoded anyway, than C string literals are also automatically valid UTF-8 strings).

UNICODE on Windows is still a bigger mess than it should be because of its UCS-2 / UTF-16 heritage.

Depends on how memory bandwidth constrained you are with eight channels of DDR5. Keep in mind also that the DDR5 on these can also clock higher than EPYC parts, so the gap between Threadripper's 8 channels and EPYC's 12 channels isn't as wide as one may initially think.
I believe the union-busting tactics of the 20th century are a big reason for the corruption of many unions: the ones that could stand up best to union busting were the ones management and politicians were physically afraid of meaningfully challenging.

That said, I live in North Carolina, where public sector unions are illegal (no state, county, or local agency is allowed to engage in collective bargaining with its employees). Sure, there are things like the NCAE, but in practice they're all completely powerless - aside from creating proposals which the NCGOP will subsequently ignore in favor of diverting more public funds to under-performing for-profit charter schools under the guise of "school choice," the only thing the NCAE really provides to teachers are benefits that the state doesn't. To quote a comment I wrote last January (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29885392):

> There's also another factor at play: in many states, the power of unions is quite weak. E.g. public-sector employees in NC cannot collectively bargain, which is why they're able to get away with paying teachers horrendous wages. Want to strike? Go on ahead, pay your sub for the day (or your contract will not be renewed) and go down to Raleigh, where the legislature will recess and most of them will literally just go home and ignore all the people with picket signs.

I think Bill Gates once said 640Kb should be enough for anything
The slowest clock speed for DDR5 is 2,000Mhz or 0.5ns per cycle. At 2/3c, electricity should be able to travel about 10cm max in one cycle. I suppose 4Ghz RAM would be only 5cm. Is having an external unit with much greater than 10cm of copper travel ultimately a limiting factor here with modern day RAM speeds?

Humans in general are horrible at encompassing large numbers. We can interpret and understand them, but our mental model sense of scale isn't flexed often enough in daily life (where we maybe deal with thousands at most) to truly appreciate hundreds of thousands, or millions intuitively.

I disagree.

A large solar storm is unlikely to damage many transformers. Transformers have low impedance, yet solar storms have the biggest impact on high impedance systems (like copper telephone cables, especially when 'on hook').

The only time a power network is high impedance is when it isn't connected (ie. when part of the power network is switched off). Trivial operational changes could be made to ensure that offline parts of a power network are grounded during a solar storm.

Reserve transformers might be a good plan for other reasons - eg. fast recovery after a war on US soil - transformers are usually early targets in war, and hard to defend.

Shifting Focus to Make DevSecOps Successful
We appreciate the Snafu Principle; that authority imposes communications friction that deprives it of the data it needs to govern effectively. In other words, Government has a maximum size, and that number is far smaller than the world populations.

Having governments stack, "governing the country governments"; fails too because the whole structure is still made form individual human beings, whose limits are reflected in the things we build.
>Evading in-person meetings or requests for drug tests.

I am surprised about the request for drug tests. Is this common in the US?

Except for high-security jobs, which are never possible remotely anyway, I have never heard of a client or employer asking for a drug test. If I got a request for a drug test, I would quit immediately. Even if I am sure it is negative, my private life is my business. Any attempt to control my private life I see as a personal attack.

The mojo launch was extremely underwhelming, and I wonder if it was forced by early investors to help drive hype and the next round of funding.
Depending on the workload, absolutely.

The 96 core part has 480MB of cache and 8 channels of DDR5.

Compare that to a 7950X (not the X3D model) which has 16 cores, but only 80MB of cache and 2 channels of DDR5. The 96-core part has 6X as many cores, but 4X as much memory bandwidth and 6X as much cache. The interfaces have scaled similarly to the core count.

Of course, if your workload isn't really very parallel then you won't see much benefit. Such is life with high core counts.
That's cool, but this runs contrary to the drop-in interop they're touting. It's a pretty confusing initial benchmark to show off. On the Mojo Overview page, they show some numpy+Python using np.max, then they...rewrite np.max using their SIMD parallel map magic?

So is this meant to replace vanilla python matmul (which nobody uses IRL)? No? That was just a benchmark to show off their compiler tricks? Okay, how does it fare against numpy (which is actually used)? Well, it's faster? But I have to write little wrappers around basic functions like np.max to parallelize them myself? Shouldn't that just be in your std lib / invisible to the programmer? I thought it was supposed to be a drop-in speed improvement...

I don't really get it. Am I stupid? Maybe I'm stupid.

7950X3D is $43.75 per core.

I believe the main Mojo use cases are scenarios in which you'd need dependencies anyway. Code that you can't write in Python due to performance concerns, so you'd need to call C/C++/Rust/CUDA/Triton/etc anyway.

I don't like this breathless articles that complain about next evolution of technology like it has sprung from nothingness yesterday. Computing science has been working on this technology for decades and it's that, only now, has it achieved some level of usefulness. This is the pattern of all technologies.

It feels like the claim is that this was just developed by industry giants to mess with people.

> Once again, a handful of competitive but ideologically aligned leaders are telling us that large-scale, general-purpose AI implementations are the only way forward.

The only way forward to what? What we have is just the continued evolution of hardware and software. Hardware keeps getting more powerful and software continues to get more powerful to match it. We are doing with that hardware exactly what we want to do: make things easy that were once difficult and make things possible that were once impossible.
I've known people who managed union employees. While being walked out (fired) for bad performance, they learned the magic words "I have a drug problem". Automatically reverses firing, employee goes to some (company paid rehab) for 1-3 months, gets their job back. They just use this as an option to keep their job, they dont even care. Every "compassionate" benefit you offer will be equally exploited by losers. It seems to me a zero-sum game.

The article claims two competing theories of obesity: the energy-balance and the carbohydrate-insulin model. The energy-balance theory isn't much of a puzzle, as you say. The puzzle is rather how to reconcile these two theories. According to the article, fructose is the unifying factor. Eating more fructose drives increased appetite and lowers metabolism. This feeds into the energy-balance mechanism, causing obesity. To your point, the higher appetites caused by fructose are incentivizing restaurants to offer larger portion sizes.
