Yes, but that says you can’t phone it in. Google’s senior managers are not sweating Pixel performance unless it will lead to a decline in ad revenues - contrast with AI where they very quickly realized that people asking ChatGPT questions would mean zero ad sales.
I'm not a fan of video chat during hiring interviews. It's a great way to discriminate (race, sex, age, disabilities) right out the gate
I'm not sure I'd want to switch to a pure UDP world just because there's lots of bandwidth in the data center. Any situation where Moore's Law works against you will run into problems unless there's back-pressure built into the protocol -- IE whenever you've got 100 clients talking to one aggregation point you'll get kicked in the teeth, regardless of if the endpoints are 100mb with the aggregation point being bonded 1gb links or the common media is 100gb and the aggregation point is ECMPed 400gb -- there are more of them than there is of you...

And -- building back-pressure into protocols is not trivial.... Getting it "for free" with TCP has been a net gain.
better homes and garden cookbook with the red and white checkered cover. The basics are all there and the ingredient lookup is in the index. Say I lookup potato, all the potato recipes are in the index. It also offers substitutions. I have an older version and a newer version.
Well... if code were pure (in the FP sense), then a "sufficiently smart compiler" could move it around to extract the maximum performance.

But, as always, the sufficiently smart compiler never shows up. So we're left with the humans doing the tuning, and as you say, FP is kind of antithetical to that approach.
Coincidentally, this conference talk[1] released yesterday regarding vector multiplication. In it, it describes how quaternions can be seen as an extension of 3d vector spaces, like how complex numbers can be seen as an extension to 2d vector spaces. More specifically, quaternions are a 4d vector with the basis of {1,yz,xz,xy} where those "bivectors" result from 3d vector multiplication, e.g. (ax+by+cz)(dx+ey+fz)

But now the government will know all the service providers that the user is accessing, including Wikipedia, but also porn sites.
I was an academic physicist for the first several years of my post-graduate school career--I, too, see much value in having multiple perspectives to a problem.

But that's quite different from your other claim. Maths and programming are not at the same level. When one writes a "hello world" program, math does not figure into the final text of the code at all. Similarly, when one writes code to implement a system interacting with multiple dependencies, one is not doing mathematics, except in the trivial sense of your original comment. That is to say, at such a remote distance that it's meaningless to describe the activity as a mathematical one.

It's easier for the government to take away my car than to take away my legs.

UDP is connectionless, so that aspect isn't even comparable to TCP.
This is the only thing they can do. They don’t produce anything. They buy. Their AI is a joke and all they earn money on is ads. MS is beating them on the AI front, hard, and they have multiple interesting avenues like having an actual OS, basically all the world’s code and all the world’s business.

2B is too little too late as well. It’s almost embarrassing. MS dumped 10B into OpenAI. 2B is a lukewarm, visionless move.
Like I said, I don’t think EA is bad or that the situation is irreparable. I just think there are people within “the movement” who are taking it in a worrying direction. And by “taking it” I don’t mean they’ll brainwash everyone in the org, but I do believe they might succeed in capturing the EA brand and a lot of its organizational capacity towards their priorities.

I think in the medium/long term, the Givewell wing of the EA movement will either need to (1) develop better organizational strategies to defend against this kind of takeover and keep priorities balanced, or (2) consider breaking off from the rest of the EA movement and recognizing that the brand now means something different. But that new movement will also need to develop some defenses to prevent the same thing from happening.

To use an excellent rationalist phrase: there’s a “Chesterton’s fence” that I think a lot of EA folks have torn down in their attempt to refactor charity and make it more efficient: namely, that the intentions of leadership really matter. And in any human organization that manages large sums of money and power, you have to have sharply-enforced defenses against charismatic leaders who say they’re your friends and share your priorities, but actually want to take the movement in a very different direction.
Aha! So the light pulse could be riding a kind of naturally-occuring Alcubierre warp bubble?
That was me as a kid, and can confirm, that did transfer to the internet.
