I understand the need for noncompetes in some areas, but this can be solved differently... In my country (slovenia), if the company wants you to sign a noncompete, they have to decide the length of the noncompete (months, years after you quit) and a monetary compensation has to be written in for the duration of the noncompete. The wording is kinda loose and a few "decided by the court", but this would be an interesting compromise, especially if tweaked a little. So, if you get employed and educated for an eg. rocket scientist, and the company wants you to sign a noncompete, so you could only get a job as a burger flipper, the company would have to pay the difference between what you earn due to a noncompete, and what you'd earn if you continued working the same job (so your previous pay plus inflation + some added percentage as a safety margin).

My classmate back from Uni is a pretty high up manager working on GM infotainment (as is his dad). He (the classmate) failed and had to retake CS101 three times.
I never really got Bayesian statistics to be honest.

- When sample size grows, frequentist and bayesian (if the prior is not too restrictive) point estimates seem to converge to each other anyway

- The distribution of your point estimate (frequentist) vs. the estimated distribution (bayesian) also don't seem to differ too much either

- When the sample size is small the Bayesian prior dominates

- Interestingly, when I see Bayesians simulate random data (to introduce the concepts on this data) they usually assume a true parameter value. E.g. when sampling from Y = a + b * X + e, they'll assume fixed, true values of a and b and not random variables - which is a frequentist assumption! So far I've never seen e.g. b being sampled from Normal(mu=2, sigma=1) instead of just setting b=2.

- The frequentist assumption of a true population value which we try to estimate just makes sense to me. For example there is a true mean income over the working population. It's not a random variable but a fixed value which can be computed if we just asked every single working person for their income and then compute the mean over all values.

I tried getting into Bayesian stats but honestly it just seems overkill for most cases. For a simple regression computing b_hat = inv(XX')Y is just faster and easier than numerically sampling traces. Bayesian forces you to think about the data generating process - I appreciate that, but you need to the same when it comes to frequentist stats, it's just a little less obvious.

Without foreknowledge that someone is going to overthrow democracy and enact a violent dictatorship, and while they are playing within the rules of democracy: yes, it's wrong.

Of course we now know Hitler ended up with a dictatorship, but at the time he was playing by the rules. If you are going to argue scifi time-travel scenarios, I'm not interested and you can shove them up your ass where they belong.

This is getting really silly. Either you respect democracy or you don't.

You don't, period. Your worldview is vile and I want nothing to do with you.

> would there be even shorter programs that don't look like they make sense but produce the same output

Yes, mostly likely

> How would you search for these programs?

Brute force search is very inefficient so the real answer generally is "be clever" in the mathematical sense.

In general, KC is not computable so there is no program that can take a string and return the shortest program that computes that string.

However it's always in principle possible for someone to prove that the KC of some particular string is X.
A lot of them are 'lost communication with..' or 'bad data..' - that sounds like all the canbuses fell to bits; perhaps it's just one fault?
Anything being done in the public sector (e.g. academia or government) is pocket change by comparison, and so bound up with red tape these days that most truly high risk/reward bets are passed over. That, and you’re at the mercy of congressional budget cycles and the usual grant writing hunger games. If innovation emerges from that environment, it’s in spite of it, not because of it.

If private capital wants to fund deeptech, more power to them. If they want forego due diligence and fund tomato computers, that’s (literally) their business.
Imho, that laws the legislative has voted on can just be vetoed by someone who is the head of the executive is the main problem. But this mix of executive and legislative seems to be normal in the US, so maybe my unease is just based on what I'm used to over here in Germany.

While the President of Germany formally has to accept all laws it's a far less active role. According to the constitution, he's only allowed to not accept a law if he thinks it either was voted on in a process that's forbidden by the constitution or is itself against the constitution. This has happened only nine times since the federal republic exists.

edit: The president is also not the head of the executive, just so no one is confused. The chancellor doesn't have any special role in getting a law accepted.
The argument is essentially that a noncompete is a voluntary contract, and generally the courts don't want to prevent individuals from freely entering into agreements. Noncompetes already must have 'consideration', which is typically the employment itself.
You’d think! I’m curious how this compares to the first few years of any entirely new model.

Perhaps it’s partly because it’s not just the same kinds of parts in different form factors and configurations. It’s an entirely new paradigm of parts for all the steps of the supply chain. A fraction of the parts, but still a brand new set of challenges.
I guess I think that that's true for skills, but not for aspects of character, and at some level skills like "incorporating feedback"... are really more like "virtues" than "skills"? And things like "noise filtering" and "pattern recognition" are sorta in a grey area between the two. Like, yes, at some level, pattern-recognition is a skill, but to actually learn to do it comes from (a) seeing somebody else do it well and realizing what's possible and (b) being corrected when you mess it up. In either case it's more of something that a good teacher shows instead of teaches. An academic lecture on pattern recognition wouldn't do much; one learns it from going out and engaging with the world and learning from their initially-naive mistakes.

Somewhat related example from my life: you can take as many piano lessons as you want, but there's really no substitute for hearing someone play music that moves you and trying to figure out how to recreate that feeling. Many students of piano have never had that experience and as a result piano lessons will simply never work on them.
And bombing of Dresden[1] and dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. All of that would be considered war crimes using the law that was created after world war II but unfortunately not before:

I think it's a case of people only caring about their specific short term individual interests in the narrowest way possible. They're not really a rational thing in any other domain.

Basically, if you have a zero sum game with two companies and one has better IP than the other, it makes sense for the time span through which the company without can't reverse engineer it. In every other case it means the groups of companies under the umbrella of non-competes will slowly loose to groups of companies in jurisdictions without non-competes.

To expand on that, if you objectively have some special sauce that you don't want leaked to your competition then it's a net gain for you and a loss for the rest of X industry (where X is finance because they're the ones who want this, not tech). In reality though, it's extremely rare to have sole control over an incredibly strong piece of IP that defines a market. In reality, everyone thinks they do because they don't know what anyone else has. Everyone has something that gives them an edge, hence being competitive in the market, but sharing those secrets within their local area can make the whole industry way more performant.

The law applies to everyone so if you can't have non-competes, neither can your competition. At a local level it will make groups of companies much stronger than their more distant competitors because they can share knowledge under the table at a much higher rate.
I can't speak to New York, but this isn't uncommon for a few reasons:

1) Statewide and Nationwide elections attract more voters than local elections. This can mean that statewide officials such as the governor are from a party that more state voters support, while the state legislature is comprised of the opposite party, whose voters are more engaged in off years and smaller local elections. Michigan, for example, has had exclusively Democratic US Senators for a long time but the state legislature spent a long time controlled by Republicans.

2) Many state legislatures have appallingly gerrymandered districts to reinforce the party in power. Wisconsin, for instance, is very much a "purple" state (a close mix of Republican and Democratic voters), but its state legislature has Republican supermajorities due to gerrymandering.

This is more of a function of where these industries developed historically and not tied to non-competes. There’s a lot of financial innovation in California (see crypto/fintech) but trading itself is still tied to proximity and network effects and historical entities (broker dealers etc.)

Bruh.
The president you're talking about was elected by Chileans with free democratic elections, didn't enact a dictatorship, and would likely have been voted out of office in the next elections.

You are arguing in favor of the overthrow of democracy because you don't like the party in power. What's worse, in your attack of Communism you decided to defend a bloodthirsty, murderous dictatorship that tortured thousands of people (some were mutilated so horribly, even the military that captured them are on record as horrified. Read the accounts).

The solution at the top of Google tends to be correct. I would need to verify on Google whether that GPT-4 was giving me is correct or not at least 50% of the time.

The stuff I usually tinker with are perhaps too niched to have GPT-4 reliably respond so I still fall back to documentation or just the library source code if documentation doesn’t exist.

My (limited) impression is that automakers treat software as a second class citizen in the automotive experience (so far).

At some point they're going to have to realize that the "Apple experience" matters for consumers and they should make the UX both usable and reliable.

At least one would hope this happens. Most likely one will, and then if it catches on with buyers as a purchasing decision then the others will hop on to try to remain competitive.

It boils down to the algorithmic feed, where Zuckerberg decides what the users see and not the users.

Hamas could absolutely wear uniforms too. But they couldn't hide behind civilians anymore then and that's their preferred tactic.

There's a reason one of the most important parts of modern international law on wars - which has the primary goal of minimizing civilian deaths - is that all combatants have to be clearly identifiable. If you cannot distinguish easily between both, war gets even worse than it already is. And the current conflict is the perfect example.

> I have a hard time not reading them as shibboleths for "Rust is the only safe language", which is manifestly false.

Given that quite simple classes of vulnerabilities are endemic to all other major languages, no, it's not "manifestly false". The state of software safety really is bad enough that "all major languages that aren't Rust are unsafe" is plausible.

> The vulnerabilities endemic to memory-safe languages (logic and higher-level vulnerabilities like SQLI, metacharacter quoting, filesystem traversal, and cryptography bugs) are common both to languages like Python and Java and also to Rust --- the only super-common class of vulnerability endemic to languages like Python and Java that Rust avoids is deserialization (you avoid deserialization vulnerabilities by not building hypercapable serialization formats).

SQLI at least should be a lot less common in ML-family languages like Rust where manipulating structured data is relatively easy (or at least, the ease advantage of string manipulation over structured data is smaller). Carefully distinguishing between character strings, file paths, and byte sequences, as Rust does, should also eliminate at least some common kinds of vulnerabilities.

> The data races aren't going to burn you.

Eh maybe. All we can really say so far is that they haven't reached low-hanging fruit level yet. There have been plenty of similarly unsafe things that weren't thought to be exploitable that have turned out to be major sources of vulnerabilities as the bar gets raised and more effort gets put in, e.g. there was a time when the conventional wisdom was that double-free() was only a reliability/resiliency concern and not a security issue.

> It was invented over 40 years ago, yet it is still employed by the majority of modern databases.

I wonder how true this is for the top commercial engines (Oracle, MS, IBM, etc.) whose internals are closed source and proprietary. Even a decade ago my experience performance testing Exadata implied some exotic magic at work, ie lookups are way faster than the expected O(log n). More recently while testing SQL Server's ability to join hundreds of tables together the performance was _way_ in excess of what I expected. I can't imagine these things have internals all that similar to say the B+Tree inside MySQL for example.
That “conservative” assumption of a continuous, uninterrupted 5% interest rate over hundreds of years seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting in that 45 trillion figure.
