> Humans themselves are black boxes too, and yet almost everyone grows to have a good handle on limitation of individuals, both in general and specific to contexts and individuals one encounters.

IME, this is completely false.

"Very smart people" regularly repeat absurd misinformation because they didn't do basic fact checking. Academics, politicians, bureaucrats, police, etc. regularly respond to challenges with an Appeal To Authority, and it _works_.

We're AWFUL at this.

> It's not just peer-level understanding - parents quickly learn to understand the limitations and failure modes of newborns, and maintain that understanding as their children grow.

No, not as a general statement.

Most parents are really bad at understanding the limitations of their children. Even school teachers (who took classes on understanding the limitations of children) are really bad at it.

Windows has a tool called "Snipping Tool" which also went by the name "Clipping Tool" and "Snip *& Sketch". Of course we have the Print Screen key. [1]

Mac had a "Grab" app which dates back to NeXTSTEP. [2] So it is conceivable that someone would refer to it as a "screengrab". Personally I've never heard anyone say this.

I don't think either application used the term "screengrab".

Microsoft's own documentation [3] uses the term "screenshot" regardless of type (i.e. full window, rectangular area, etc.). Apple as well. [4]

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I have very little sympathy for writers. The work today is on average horrible, derivative and opposite of inspired. I'm at the point where I'm almost ready for AI to take over.

But his point is there is no relevant law in Australia, so it’s unenforceable. This is how extradition works in international law.

A common example I can give you is a lot of countries believe the death penalty is inhumane and it’s against basic human rights. So countries, even ones that have extradition treaties, will refuse to extradite to the US, no matter the evidence or conviction if there’s even a possibility of the death penalty. This has happened a number of times.
It’s actually a really good case study into the way innovation takes shape over time. There’s not much to be told from the ‘sociotechnical’ perspective (users don’t really buy a car because of the way the plug feels or looks), but the regulatory aspect is fascinating.

EU we’re well intentioned to regulate a standard as it drives efficiencies across infrastructure and provides some stability for manufacturers who might be nervous about entering an unproven market. However, it’s clear that they introduced it prematurely as the technology and requirements were yet to be ironed out.

I would hold that there will be an easy fix to this problem - maybe a drop in replacement to support regional differences, or a power adaptor (similar to the travel adaptor market that supports the current list of 15 odd mains connectors)?

At any rate, if the global market does need to be normalised, the transition period will no doubt be slow and somewhat inconvenient, potentially requiring support for multiple standards at both charger and vehicle.

Edit: reading through the comments here, it seems that there is an sociotechnical angle in terms of ergonomics, as some cables can be bulky or difficult to handle. (Are they any worse than a bowser handle though, and do people actually have an opportunity to do AB testing in showrooms, which are often catered towards a single brand?)
An anti-inflammatory diet is a healthful eating plan that may help to reduce chronic low levels of inflammation that otherwise might increase the risk of various chronic diseases. Although research is limited, it may also help to lower inflammatory markers in individuals with autoimmune-type inflammation such as with rheumatoid arthritis. Popular dietary patterns that are anti-inflammatory include the Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, and vegetarian diets.…………. Along with the diet, it is important to incorporate other healthy lifestyle factors that positively affect the body’s immune response, such as practicing stress reduction, exercising regularly, and getting adequate sleep.

Exactly. vLLM doesn’t optimize for latency-first scenarios as it focuses on throughput, i.e. batching. This particular blog post instead focuses particular on latency, i.e. the fastest you could possible get with those many GPUsz

Regarding batching, it is coming pretty soon, and we will have another blog post on this.

I think that's fair. But Plex isn't just for stolen content. My Plex server is full of movies/TV shows that I ripped from discs I bought. Granted that it's more expensive to do that, but that could be a viable way to ditch streaming services without setting a bad example.
These proposed rules apply to both wireline and cellular broadband. See item 60 on page 35 https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-397309A1.pdf.

The original Net Neutrality rules exempted cellular. The FCC used Title I regulatory authority hoping to use a "light touch" least ISPs sued and an appeals court voided the regulation with the rationale the FCC did not have the authority to do as long it continued to classify broadband as Title I "information service" instead of "telecommunications."

When the Net Neutrality regulations were re-done the FCC re-classified broadband as Title II "telecommunications" for more solid legal authority.

When the FCC changed to Republican majority they repealed the regulation and reclassified broadband back to Title I.
Lots of things could instantly change housing availability (e.g. banning investment funds from owning homes, direct state construction, abolition of zoning), but none of those will happen because they would cost real estate speculators money, as well as the politicians they bankroll.
It's basically the same as Uber vs taxi companies [and Uber Trucking is a similar company to Convoy]. So traditional freight broker companies have a huge number of brokers who handle issues between shippers and carriers manually (on the phone constantly) while Convoy was going to automate this. So theoretically Convoy would have lower costs (not having to pay all these brokers) while at the same time it would provide better service (for example instant computer response vs hours for a broker to get back to you). This theory didn't work out.
> This was also the period where Netflix et al discovered that shows become more costly to make and less likely to get brand-new subscribers around season 3.

This isn't the only reason I stopped watching shows, but its certainly a contributing factor. Kinda gets old seeing some cool first season setup a bunch of interesting story arcs, great show, etc and then cancelled.
This will make skin cancers slightly more prevalent in southern latitudes but I can’t see any other changes that aren’t marginal. It isn’t great but we are not “fucked” by any means.

> In addition, arXiv will provide substantially better access to the visually impaired by producing HTML as well as PDF versions of its content.

But it's a different question whether they will succeed. A compile-to-HTML pipeline needs to work with every single LaTeX package that people use, or at least work with most ones and fail gracefully for the rest. That was hard enough for compile-to-PDF, requiring the arXiv to keep every year's version of TeX Live permanently maintained.

I think you might be reading a subtext that's not there.

I agree with OP's comment. I don't see how anyone sane would agree with what you believe it implies. Ironically, if we can't talk about how an article like this one will be used by anti-vaxers, we can't meaningfully address how to minimize that harm either.

In either case, what I'd most like to see is a TL;DR / ELI5-level explanation of the article.
You skipped the downsides of hollywood unionization:

Cost of hiring increases and there are fewer gigs around. Unionisation adds nontrivial transaction costs, so there will be fewer opportunities for new entrants, and fierce competition among existing workers for shrinking number of gigs.

For example look at how women actors get their cast roles with harvey weinstein studio - did union protect them from sexual predators?

Look at average unionized actor - very few are making big bucks, most are just surviving and have other day jobs.

UAW workers are still at the mercy of their employers, and are only dragging their companies down, while non-unionized automakers are taking over market share.

I am totally fine that my bargaining chip is my ability to work - it is the only austainable way. Otherwise there will be a lot of useless dead weights who dont contribute to the topline, and leech off of bottomline. (There is already unemployment for this use case).

Look at NYC MTA - all unionized and completely inefficient, unionisation can only work in monopoly situation.

Tech in the other hand is high growth particularly because all monopolies are being attacked by more flexible and lean startups.

Hollywood is not growing at all, while big tech is carrying the whole world

A lot of factors I think.

Tesla buyers skew towards techy types who bought a Tesla because it was an EV (I did).
German luxury EVs are nice (I have one), but are bought by ICE owners of the same maker. So online you'll read a lot of MB/BMW/Porsche owners who have an ICE, a PHEV, an EV, etc of the same make and are not committed to anyone one fuel type yet.

Charging would be other major factor.

Anecdotal, but I'm sure this is related to everyone adopting Tesla's charging standard, not just because the connector is superior. I have a L2 charger installed in my home, so my life is pretty easy, but even if I didn't the super charger network out here is pretty good. However, when I got a Tesla rental on my trip to Utah last year, I didn't realize how sparse charging is in some places.

While I could survive on Tesla's network where I grew up outside of SLC, it'd be pretty annoying... but there's no way I could handle a non-Tesla vehicle out there because there are so few charging options, and they are so slow in comparison, I'd never be able to do it

I think most of the confusion here comes from some users not realizing the difference between the previous hosting solution “Always On” and the new one “Deployments”. Always On was a quick way to keep a dev machine running, but was difficult to consider for production use cases since the dev machine was what you were serving from. Deployments decoupled the two and enabled separate machines (including dynamic scaling) to be used for development and production. So now users have on-demand dev machines with our cloud IDE in addition to persistent deployments. There are a lot of benefits from this approach, but it meant that Always On wasn’t as useful.

Arxiv is run by Cornell, which is in Ithaca NY. Upstate NY a $500k a year salary would literally buy you a mansion. Ithaca right by the college is pretty expensive by upstate standards because of houses being converted to multi-family units to rent.

I was going to say Disney+ was going to stay because my kids love the content but I posed it to them and they agree - let's cancel and if the need arises we can binge for a month. Or borrow DVDs from the library. Or play their switch or watch YouTube etc etc.
Sure, but that's why I mentioned politics -- the particulars matter and there is plenty of ground for reasonable people to disagree.

Judgement goes both ways. Maintainers are under no obligation to accept my code, but if enough maintainers stonewall enough of my code for reasons that I consider unreasonable enough then I'm under no obligation to write the code, either. That's where I've gotten to. It wasn't a short journey. Oh well.
I favor the "company pays tax, tax funds science infrastructure", cycle, not the "company funds science infrastructure" cycle. It reduces the risk of industry asserting influence over the infrastructure.

Whether companies pay enough tax is a separate discussion, but they paid some taxes, and those taxes are now funding ArXiv. This seems like a good setup.
Fairly certain these are US numbers though it doesn't call that out explicitly in the text. Note the document has tags, and it is tagged "United States". Also the list of EV brands in the text is very US-centric in what is included and what is missed.
There’s no obligation to run a company into the ground. If a company reaches a point where the end of its runway is in sight, and the company decides to let employees know that the company will be out of money in 2 months, to give employees time to start looking for options… that’s allowable and not some sort of theft from creditors.

Many companies are open with employees about the state of the business.

If you have less than 3 months runway and little prospect of any fundraising, tell your employees. You don’t need to steal money from creditors (?) to pay severance, you just gotta do your best to not blindside people who have rent to pay.

Honestly detective fiction is perhaps the worst format you could give for your example, because the structure of the story allows you to essentially tell a different short story with different characters every time. Moody Twin Peaks has almost nothing in common with the goofball Psych (except the one tribute episode). Inspector Lewis plots are complex and intellectual, while Castle is fluffy and predictable. Recipes for Love and Murder, Brokenwood, Midsomer Murders, and Murdoch Mysteries are more about life among the varied settings than the murders; the murders give us an excuse to explore the characters around them.

Though maybe the most important point of that is that watching TV from different countries will make your viewing more interesting.
There's plenty to watch. Just not much I consider worth my time. I can count on my fingers the number of movies and TV shows from the last couple years I was interested in. So why should I pay an arm and a leg for it? I could own physical copies of the material I care about for as much as they want me to pay in streaming subscriptions.

> Providing method now-provided by standard libs is by definition unnecessary cruft. Nobody wants that in their codebase.

I don't think your sweeping claims here are justified. Importing the function from the standard library into the same namespace in your library where the function you previously implemented was is not "cruft". It's helping your users by not making a breaking change when you don't actually need to--no actual functionality changed.

> apparently basic competence is too hard requirement in software ecosystems

Your snark here is even less justified IMO than your sweeping claims above.
It was Lattner’s vision, a language that would scale from scripts to kernel. Oh yeah, and one that’s easy for a beginner to learn.

I think that’s impossible, Swift should try to be a great language for building Mac/iOS apps and hopefully frameworks.

But what do I know. I wouldn’t think writing a new industry grade C++ compiler in a modular architecture would be feasible. Just use GCC. And yet here we are with clang and LLVM.

> - Despite all the extra characters the actual mental load of the error checks is tiny. Yes it's more typing, but the hard bit about code is thinking not typing, and it doesn't make more thinking.

The hard part is understanding the existing code. The more cluttered and verbose the code is, the harder that is. Go's boilerplate if err != nil return err, nil becomes something that your eyes just skim over - which is fine right up until you have some code that's doing something similar but not the same, and don't even notice.
