> One: Reward and Punishment Superresponse Tendency

> I place this tendency first in my discussion because almost everyone thinks he fully recognizes how important incentives and disincentives are in changing cognition and behavior. But this is not often so. For instance, I think I’ve been in the top five percent of my age cohort almost all my adult life in understanding the power of incentives, and yet I’ve always underestimated that power. Never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes a little further my appreciation of incentive super-power.

what if we had laws that prevented people from obtaining disproportionate amounts of wealth? Seems like it'd be a lot harder to buy a school if being a multi-billionaire is impossible.
the payload had a few modes of operation, IIRC

one was to spin it far faster than it should, then stop abruptly in an attempt to damage the centrifuge

one was to run it at the wrong RPM to spoil the product of the centrifuge

in either mode, it would replay 'good' data to make the centrifuge look functional to an administrator

the way I understood, a 'bonus goal' was to keep the Iranians unable to diagnose what was going wrong, both with their production process (producing bad stock) and the failures (promoting distrust in their engineers) - i can't find an article right now, but I remember reading they were churning through site engineers at the time - presumably firing them for the on-site failures of centrifuges or their inability to stop them
Google3 is a huge codebase of high quality that moves exceptionally quickly, so it just seems like your priors are getting in the way. Complaining that a large-scale change among tens of thousands of software developers requires a tool (Rosie) is sort of the same thing as all those people who complain that it's too hard to cope with having millions of machines in prod, i.e. the type of people who wash out of the company in a few months and then go on to a career of complaining about it online.
> Isn’t Tesla using GPTs at least for vision? What do you call the AI technologies employed by self driving projects and robotics?

It is certainly not a generative pre-trained model (GPT) used in FSD or autopilot. Most likely advanced deep learning models for object detection or segmentation with very low latency.

Whatever they are using, it still easily can get confused with similar looking objects on the road, which is why Tesla requires drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Not even Tesla, trusts its own AI systems.
This extension is asking me to write two clang commands (through a very basic UI) to compare their output and requires clicking and waiting to see changes instead of running on every keystroke, so it's not quite like Compiler Explorer. It seems that you started out interested in exploring LLVM's Intermediate Representation and different clang options. If you made the extension require no configuration (c_cpp_properties.json will already contain all the information needed to compile my code) and it ran on every keystroke, I think that's what people want. An extension for C programmers to quickly see what their C code actually becomes.

Also, there is no need to put "VSCode" in the name of a VS Code extension.

> Accept-Lanuage is set to English most of the time, even for people in non-enlish speaking counties.

Unless you can point to some kind of evidence that shows Accept-Language is set to English regardless of the host OS' language/region setting, there's zero reason to believe this claim.

> It's not that they cannot use English

Right, the entirety of non-english speaking, internet-using humans are able to read English, it's just a bunch of them choose not to, but only when it comes to using a webpage? Is that what you're suggesting?

Edit:

I just did some very quick testing of the theory that browsers will send the "wrong" Accept-Language header.

* Safari on macOS with preferred OS language set to English (Australian) sends `en-AU,en;q=0.9`

* Safari on macOS with preferred OS language set to Thai (and second pref of English) sends `th-TH,th;q=0.9`

* Chrome on macOS with preferred OS language set to English (Australian) for some reason sends `en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8`

* Chrome on macOS with preferred OS language set to Thai (and second pref of English) sends `th-TH,th;q=0.9`

* Edge on Windows 11 with preferred OS language set to Thai (and second pref of English) sends `th,en;q=0.9,en-GB;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.7`

* Chrome on Windows 11 with preferred OS language set to Thai (and second pref of English) sends `th-TH,th;q=0.9`

Firefox is the one that can get it wrong, sometimes: in the macOS VM, I had already downloaded Firefox before setting the OS language to Thai, and the downloaded versions set a browser preferred language which doesn't change based on the OS language (the default is US English).

But when I downloaded Firefox using Edge in the Win11 VM, the language was already set to Thai, so I got a "Thai preferred" download link when I typed "Firefox" in the search bar, and thus the language string it sends is not surprising: `th,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3`

So, again: without some evidence to show that somehow people who have no understanding of English, are using their computers or phones or tablets in English, I'm calling bullshit on this repeated claim that "non english user's browsers send requests for English language content".

I think your representation of a software engineer's work is made in bad faith. There may be some like this, but from anywhere I've worked and anyone I've spoken to in the industry, it's a small minority. I haven't worked at Spotify but I have worked with an ex-Spotify engineer who was very productive and one of the best engineers I've worked with.

The representation is in bad faith because it overstates the balance of non-coding tasks, but also because it assumes these are "not work" or worth less than coding.

If we're allowing unbounded (co)datastructures then a singly-linked list will do the trick.

Perhaps these examples don't count since they're not computable functions. Specifically, searching for an element in a bottomless tree/list that doesn't contain it will not halt, making this a partial function.

Or rather it's not even an equation. My decision whether to put off buying an iPhone if interest rates doesn't map to one really. Which doesn't stop people trying to estimate such probabilities with equations but it's a mistake to not recognise they are crude estimates of human behaviour.
> Now might not be the best bet making time. Circumstances and the market change.

This is true, but I personally believe that the loss of knowledge and experience from within is a significant drag on momentum for when you do want to hire again... these people likely won't return even if the markets change, they've been burned, why would they return.

If it's possible to place the next bet, retain as much knowledge and experience as possible, and leverage that towards something new, then surely that is the best thing to do.

Could there have been other bets? Probably, if audio is the definition of the market and what you have at the moment is predominantly Western music, then stronger pushes into native apps for different markets? A classical specific app / flavour? A jazz specific app / flavour? Podcasts are good, but I think audiobooks are better... the audiobook market does not feel "done" at all, there's a lot more that could be done here too. Generational AI dynamic music could be a thing too, not streaming a file but streaming the basis of a constantly generated infinite thing, i.e. study aids, sleep aids, etc. Or how about audio app sync with video devices to enable the audio from your film to come out of your smart speakers or Hi-Fi even without a 5.1 amp?

A lot of these are smaller bets than "podcasts will be worth a gazillion dollars", but each is still significant, sticky, and leads to higher retention, and fights against the commoditization of music playback and the low margins there.

17% cuts does signal a lack of ambition despite "economic headwinds", it feels like a "we need to cut deep" rather than a "what are all the new bets we can make and then we are compelled to cut the difference".

It's hard to know with any kind of accuracy how often it comes up in real breaches, but we exploit it all the time to great effect in pen testing.

A few examples I've seen repeatedly:

* An AWS-hosted container/artifact/CI/CD application has an SSRF vulnerability that can be used to retrieve IAM instance credentials. Because micromanaging permissions is hard, and the application needs to access so much content in S3, spin up/down instances, etc. it has ec2:* and s3:. Unless the organization has created a separate AWS account for this platform specifically, it's probably game over at that point.

An internet-facing MDM solution has a code execution vulnerability. Because the vendor didn't want to document all of the individual permissions it needs, the installation instructions specify that it should run as an account with Domain Admin permissions in AD. That is definitely game over for most organizations, because even systems that don't authenticate against AD are almost always accessed from systems that do.

Micromanaging permissions is hard in a big organization. I saw it done well, years ago, in Active Directory, but it took several FTEs who were personally interested in the topic to set up and manage, and that was a traditional big business IT environment. In a startup-style free-for-all, good luck. I don't have an opinion either way on Slauth specifically, but something that generates IAM policies procedurally seems like a step in the right direction.
Same here. My Spotify Premium sub will is the last one I would give up (after Netflix, or Apple, or Google). I got thousands of hours per year listening (yes, including podcasts) and so do lots of other people I know.

Spotify is basically "audio" for hundreds of millions of people. Think about that: a single app that defines/owns one entire medium. Yet, they haven't been profitable, ever. That's the problem and should probably be fixed with regulation: to enable streaming, the music industry has made sure the streamers get a tiny slice of the value-add. Which leaves room for exactly one, barely surviving, pure audio streamer, and then a bunch of subsidized side-bets of the monsters (Apple, Amazon, Youtube).
> Honestly, what do you expect Spotify to do?

The people who made the decision could bear the brunt of the failed "bet". But I'm willing to wager that the CEO's year-end bonus isn't going to change radically in light of this.

The best known non-primitive recursive function is Ackermann's function which grows at rate f_ω in the Fast Growing Hierarchy [1].

Any computable function whose running time grows slower than that, i.e. bounded by some f_k for finite k, should be primitive recursive, since one can just add f_k(n) upper bounds to any unbounded loop without affecting the result.

I think functions growing as fast as Ackermann's don't come up naturally, except on a Googology forum.

I've used the union-find data structure for keeping track of groups of connected stones in Go. And also for keeping track of connected cells for generating random mazes.

I don't think the question is whether Spotify should or shouldn't persue podcasts and audiobooks in addition to music streaming.

The question is whether any organization really needs 5-20k tech workers for an audio app. Even one that plays music, podcasts, and books. I would be slack jawed with shock if the Apple team that works on their podcasts app, and the Amazon team that works on their Audible app, COMBINED were a meaningful fraction of that scale.

And it's certainly fair game to question why they don't have more resources allocated to longstanding issues with the core product. Especially given that the core product hasn't noticeably changed much in years.

"Readable" and "misleading" are subjective, and depend on the person's "preconceptions".

I disagree that the reviewer comes "without as many preconceptions" - they just come with different preconceptions, the ones they're used to. Programming language is a language like any other, and each person has their own style of writing it, and they'd prefer the rest of the world to use their own style because it's "more readable".
It's fascinating how we've come to this, where we've let our society be influenced so profoundly by social media platforms and the men who run them. It's bad and I hope we can eventually diffuse the power that's been concentrated in their hands.

That's why when stuff like this comes out, you can be assured it was no coincidence, and you have to face the fact that he doesn't care.

Exactly like English or French. I didn't write half of the letters used to type this comment.

I think you are searching for Japanese exceptionalism where it probably doesn't apply. Remembering the correct kanji, and graphy of said kanji is pretty much the same as remembering the (wild) orthography of French or English words. I'm searching quite often if a letter is a 'a' or 'e' (doesn't help that cognates between French and English often swap those), the conjugation of a verb or if a letter is doubled or not (again often not the same for related words, for example ennemi vs enemy).

Your perception of the difficulty in-between writing systems is twisted by the decades of education you got in the said system vs the few years of learning another system with a second language. When I see some soup of letters in Japan, it's clear that the question is not just about one system being more simple than the other.
There does seem to be a natural conflict between large data with hierarchical structure and the generally flat lists and dictionaries of Python, that quickly leads to poor performance. It usually only takes a few foreign keys to create an exponential number of queries.

But I have no idea if there are database interfaces that make this problem simplistic. In my experience with Django, anything but the most simplistic page will be so noticeable slow that one has to go through the queries and use things like select related. Occasionally it is also better to just grab everything into memory and do operations in Python, rather than force the data manipulation to be done as a single database query.

It is a good tool for its purpose, but it is no replacement for SQL knowledge when working with complex relational databases.
