>But we still agree that they have worse infrastructure and that lower labor costs and no pesky unions didn’t seem to offset that in Tesla’s case.

Because, like I already said, Tesla had to enter the EU swinging to quickly maximize market share. And since its vehicles are all premium anyway, it could afford the higher cost of German manufacturing, but as the EV race heats up in the future moving into the lower cost segment, I'll bet you factories in the East will happen otherwise you can't have cheap EVs.

>Higher tariffs would also be a perfectly reasonable solution.

Do you want an EV future or not? Because as long as EVs stay more expensive in the EU, the average joe will keep buying ICEs, and EU EV industry will fall behind the Chinese one anyway making them uncompetitive exports. The EU car makers need to haul ass on the EV side kicking and screaming otherwise tariffs won't save them forever from going bust.

Sure, you can put tariffs on Chinese imports and tariffs already exist, but then the Chinese will do in the EU, what the Japanese did in the US: build local factories in low wage areas to build affordable cars, and still undercut the local competition.

> I don't know, there's definitely some merit in separating your front end from your back end

This is 100% true and the biggest loss in web development in my opinion.

SPAs actually end up making this worse in the long run though. The major SPA frameworks are all moving to an RPC model of all things, entirely coupling your frontend and back end together. The original SPA approach did offer the ability to separate frontend and backend, but the frontend scaled poorly and brought in too many complex considerations like routing, caching, error handling and recovery, etc. The new approach is basically abandoning the benefits of an isolated back end in favor of tight coupling simply because the existing frameworks are too far down the wrong path.

If your goal is ever to isolate the frontend and backend you'll want to consider three environments - backend, web server, and frontend. Ironically that's exactly where we were when SPAs broke out onto the scene

There's no point announcing things are now "legacy". Legacy is what Microsoft invented to call products they just made a competitor for, and the psychology seems the same. If it doesn't fit your needs, great. But React is useful for lots of needs.

US Government woke up to the fact that allowing vendors waivers on requirements for upgrades ends up with nothing ever happening. CentOS7 is EOL'd next year.

Have you seen pricing for RHEL? We're talking hundreds thousands of systems. I never seen raw stats, but I would have been totally unsurprised to see them hit million instances across all clouds used, at least occassionally.

Decoupling software from distro dependencies was seen as a way to future proof deployment story and avoid situations like we had with CentOS 7, where they really, really would have liked upgrading some stuff for newer APIs, but couldn't due to mess with OS-provided dependencies.

Fossilization and security risk is the cost. I'm dealing with one of these systems that's been around like 5 and a half years. It no longer gets security updates so has risk exceptions in the organization. But the damn thing is like a spider and woven into dozens of different systems and to migrate to a newer version is going to take, I'm estimating hundreds to thousands of hours of work on updating those integrations alone. Then you have the primary application and dealing with the multitude of customizations that would have been a stepped upgrade changing a little bit of functionality, now having to have massive rewrites.

The cost either way was likely millions and millions of dollars. But now they are having to do it all at once and risk breaking workflows for tens of thousands of people in a multitude of different ways.

I wonder though why these 3d stacks are so awful at rendering lines/meshes. Aren't they supposed to be super-optimised for this kind of anti-aliasing work? I mean even blender can be a bit dodgy sometimes on viewport mesh rendering compared with what I'm used to with SVG, even when jacking up the viewport oversampling. Is it that SVG code just spends a huge amount more time/resource on getting line-drawing perfect, whereas the 3d stacks care a lot less?
Something super creepy that happened to me recently: a hospital where I've been to a few months ago called me and asked me to participate in some DNA analysis program.
They said "oh and the best part? You don't need to do anything! We will use blood samples we collected the last time."
I obviously declined, but it was a huge wtf to me - they stored biological samples associated with me without informing me and can do a post hoc DNA analysis. This is just insane and a proof of how non existent any privacy laws in the US are.
(In EU they cannot freeze any samples without consent and unfrozen ones are ok for at most a few days)
At that time labour was cheap, now labour is a major part of the build. Housing was also cheap due to land being more plentiful.

> So what would be a better benchmark?

It all depends on what you are trying to demonstrate. The current benchmarks would be fine if properly contextualized and presented a bit differently.

e.g. for the first one, instead of representing it in request/second, do a breakdown of average/p50/p90/p99 latency over X requests. That's both much more interesting data, and much less misleading.

Even the second one could be fine if used to demonstrate why an event loop can be the appropriate thing to use for IO heavy workloads.

But here they are just included with no explanations, implying a blanket "we're 25 times faster than Rails".

WSL2 is exactly this, you can also use VMWare or VirtualBox. In other words, your base linux environment is not containerized, it is virtualized. This is a requirement for any non-linux OS (currently, MS is looking into native container support afaik), because containers are built on kernel features
Europe is filled with old buildings with decorative elements. Some of this is survivorship bias, but fire and bombs destroyed buildings fairly indiscriminately. Instead the cost of labor was relatively low so adding these elements was simply more affordable and therefore they ended up on more buildings.

This shows up for even iconic modern buildings. The Sidney Opera house is a perfect example, from a mile away it looks interesting but get close and there’s few small scale details that look interesting. By small scale I mean fit within a 3 foot by 3 foot cube the way a gargoyle head might.

The OECD said the decline was not inevitable, pointing to Singapore, where students scored the highest in maths, reading and science, with results that suggested they were on average three to five years ahead of their OECD peers.

After Singapore, Macau, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea also outperformed in maths and science, where Estonia and Canada also scored well.

Reuters DID conflate "doing better" with "not doing worse". I believe OECD pointed to Singapore because their scores were high AND INCREASING.

A quick scan of I.5.1 shows Macau, Canada, Hong Kong, and Estonia with worse scores compared to 2018. Singapore and Japan's scores went up. A less lazy reader can use the OECD database to find numbers for the other listed countries.

GPT-3 was silently replaced with RLHF'd ("instruct") versions (while keeping the same model names in the Playground) because they were cheaper to run (and had better "safety").

I think this means that current GPT-3 is more similar to GPT-3.5-turbo than to old (retired) GPT-3, but I'm not entirely sure about the details.

> "it is difficult to write a program that can play a legal action in every situation"

This is trivial (just forfeit).

The hard part is figuring out the best possible action to select from. MTG is particularly hard at this because:
* Some actions are only allowed in certain conditions (e.g. in response to, in a specific phase, etc)
* Actions vary significantly not only in their effects but also in their inputs (some require targeting a creature, a player, an opponent, a card in hand, a card in exile, a name of a card that could exist). Some have a varying list of inputs (target many creatures). This variance makes it hard to encode the action space.
* The state space is huge. It is not only determined by the cards in play, but is also affected by the meta-game (to play optimally players have to play in a specific way to avoid getting countered by a card that could be in play by the opponent, because that card is legal to play and is commonly used by decks that look like what the opponent is playing).
* Technically the state space is also infinite because you can create infinite loops that keep creating more and more triggers/creatures/etc.

> It seems physicists just don't like there being two separate models, one for large things and one for small things, but it could be the universe is just like that, right?

No, it couldn't be just like that. There could exist a common umbrella theory that uses GR for certain objects and QM for others, but it would have to be a new theory that introduces a very important new info: the nature of the separation between the two.

Right now, all of the laws of QM say that it applies just as much to the motion of the Sun as to the motion of an electron. GR says the same. And yet, GR's predictions for how an electron behaves are clearly wrong. QM's predictions for how the Sun moves are closer to being correct (that is, QM + SR + Newtonian gravity), but it is hard to measure.

A unified theory has to either correct the equations of QM, GR, or both; or to add explicit boundaries to each of them. A theory that would say "an object moves according to the laws of QM if it's 0.00000001g or lower, and according to the laws of GR if it's any higher" (or any other distinguishing characteristic) would be an entirely new theory.

Interestingly, this new theory being proposed in the articles actually does something slightly in this vein: it says "QM applies to the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions, and GR applies to the mass/gravity interaction". It then finds a new way to account for the known inconsistencies between the math of each, apparently by getting rid of the assumption that a particle has a fixed mass (and thus fixed space-time curvature in GR).

Well, we did just have a bill passed that makes it legal for the police to do things like this with protesters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1ERW-8vJk

The new protest bill would be unthinkable in most Western countries that care about the freedom to protest and freedom of expression. That is a fact. And the trajectory, at least for now, is still in this direction.

Besides, with "Secure" Boot and the recent Google proposal with web attestation, we should be considering any moves towards limiting what runs on our devices (of which there are plenty these days), no matter how minor or limited in scope, as the mortal threat to freedom of computing that they are.
