Anecdotal data is often wrong in this regard. Especially because women are not self aware and they, like men, lie to themselves and to others.

In the circles you run in, most likely partners come together as couples because of compromise. It's the best possible stable matching pairing they can get. That's the majority of relationships. It's impossible for people get their ideal.

Fortunately we have raw data to validate my points and invalidate your anecdotal data. Every point I made comes from raw correlation. Younger women get more attention from men, richer, more powerful and more masculine men get more attention from women. Look it up. The overwhelming majority of psychological studies on human mating behavior illustrates this exact pattern that is pervasive in all cultures.

You run in circles less motivated by money and status but I can tell you. A good number of those people aren't motivated by that because they can't get that status. People focus on what they achieve, if they can't get status through wealth, a lot of men tend to attempt to achieve mastery somewhere else.

Society is driven by status and power. A lot of a women's success/power is unfortunately driven by her looks. She can choose to pursue alternative paths to success but there's no denying that looks is an avenue women have easier access to then men, and it's through looks and the ability to manipulate men that women achieve most of their power.

When you look at the world. The stereotypical tropes you see in the media, movies and stories it's obvious what the generality is. Yet you choose to view the world through the lens of your "circle" and you admittedly say that your circle could be biased. So what's with all the culture surrounding the obvious stereotype? Just made up fantasies out of thin air? Come on let's be real here.

Additionally I can't imagine a man who doesn't understand why a unemployed 25 year old woman is much more attractive then a rich doctor 38 year old woman. I'm a woman and it took me a bit to understand this concept because we think exactly oppositely to men, and I've rarely met other women who totally get it. But men... All men should get it.
Perhaps this is a difference of definition, but when I think of "basic car" I understand that to mean the minimum vehicle that can legally operate on the road. Brakes, steering, lights, mirrors, airbags, etc. Backup cameras, AEB, and emissions controls, are all part of that now for better or worse.

As far as NHTSA is concerned, backup cameras are just as mandatory as working brakes. You can't build a vehicle that doesn't have them, and most (all?) states prohibit operating vehicles without these features. Tesla, Mercedes, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, and Subaru have all had safety recalls because of issues with software failing to display that image properly.

Older vehicles don't comply with these newer regulations and are only allowed to operate because of grandfather clauses.

The central problem with analyses like these is they treat everything as a zero-sum game. For men to win, women have to lose. To increase fertility, we have to decrease individual freedom.

And--most disturbingly--we need to be globally more ignorant; quote: "The signaling model of education (see Bryan Caplan’s The Case Against Education) implies that education is mostly (~80%) a zero sum game, meaning that reducing it across the board would be a social benefit."

This mindset, where you are suspicious and resentful of any good fortune coming to your neighbor, has been obsolete since the industrial revolution. It's the mindset of a medieval peasant.

But by the way, when you are criticising GPT's ability to count words in the sentences you are saying, that is quite odd to me. Because the input that GPT receives is actually tokens, not the words you give it.

So then imagine if someone asked you a question in English, and then translated it to hieroglyphs, and you didn't know English. Would you be able to count how many words were there in the original English?

So it seems weird to expect that GPT would be able to count in the first place.

But however if it later was taught how many words the combination of different tokens yielded to, it would be able to do that. So perhaps this is what was taught to it meanwhile yielding in that better ability to count words?

> Iran and Saudi Arabia restoring ties is likely very bad news for Israel

While geopolitics creates the strangest bedfellows, this is probably an attempt to play China off against the USA/Japan as well as shake a few geopolitical trees. I doubt some handshakes are going to resolve centuries of mutual hatred and Sunni/Shia supremacy between Saudi and Iran. Saudi has mountains of cash but needs a security guarantor. The USA has played that role for some decades but is losing interest so Saudi is maneuvering to regain American interest or gain another guarantor. They may be betting that diplomatic excursions with Iran ostensibly brokered by China will lead to the USA or Japan stepping in to prevent China gaining greater influence in the region, and if not maybe China would work out for them.

So here’s the thing… I did an EE/CS dual degree. I’m going to focus on the EE side of it for a bit.

We learn the high level practical behaviour of devices: resistors, capacitors, BJT and MOSFET transistors, opamps, logic gates, etc in 2nd year. What we learn there is enough to be an effective practical circuit designer.

We also dive deep into how that stuff works under the hood. One course I remember fondly started the first lecture with “This course is called semiconductor physics. To understand semiconductor physics you need to understand solid state physics. To understand solid state physics, you need to understand quantum mechanics. We have a lot of material to cover so let’s get started.” A similar course was Electric and Magnetic Fields, where we spent a ton of time applying vector calculus to situations of varying complexity to get a better understanding of how the things we learned in 2nd year actually work and some of the limitations that you wouldn’t pick up on from the practical (generally first-order) models.

You don’t get to graduate with an EE degree without learning this stuff. And in my mind, that stuff is like a mixture of data structures, runtime complexity, assembler, and cache coherency. Fundamental understanding that while you won’t use directly in your day-to-day work but underpins everything you do.
I also read ebooks because life is too short. Ebooks are always with me in my phone and I can read them whenever I want, without planning to take a physical book with me. I read as ebooks all the latest paper books I received as presents and most of the ones I bought myself.

I'm not saying that it doesn't happen. But the reality is, to make one random comparison to a bigger threat, that 597 people have died in 2023 from mass shootings [0] and I can't even find any statistics on the number of people killed by homeless in 2023. When I tried various search queries, all I find is articles about the number of homeless dying and things like serial killers who target homeless in LA.

Yes, some homeless are dangerous. But the simple truth is that there are still way more crazy homed people who are dangerous. Yes, that is obviously partly because there are way more people who are homed than homeless. That is part of my point - the homeless issue is magnified by fear. I'm not saying it's made up.

What we have is not a free market. We have a system that has been consolidated and pushed towards high inefficiencies by pharma companies, insurance companies and hospital conglomerates.

A free market would be one where government hospitals exist alongside private for profit hospitals. A free market would have insurance as an optional convenience, not a mandatory one. A free market would have one price for medicine regardless of how you pay for it, where paying with insurance wouldn’t cost $34 when paying out of pocket and using GoodRx costs $2. A free market would be one where opening a private practice for a doctor would not be prohibitively expensive for family medicine because they need to hire 5 administrators to deal with the entangled mess of insurance payments.
It also fails for in-elastic demand.

"it depends" - but there are several components at play:

PE benefited greatly from a long-term decline in interest rates. The amount of debt a company can service at a given profitability is directly related to the current prevailing interest. So as long as interest rates drifted down, PE firms could buy, load with debt to be paid out as dividend, and sell again, sometimes to the next PE buyer.

Secondly, banks will not hold this debt directly on their books, but either sell bonds directly (the low interest environment led to some life insurers and other long term investors to buy pretty risky corporate debt) or repackage them with (hopefully) uncorrelated debt to obtain better ratings (price).

There's an argument that the success of PE funds had everything to do with them being a macro bet on falling interest rates.
It's 501.

> most forms of free market systems work best once we have commoditization

It’s almost the opposite. Free markets didn’t work in the pre-industrial era because everything was commoditised. That made returns on capital paltry, which in turn made it more “profitable” to conquer capital than build it.

After industrialisation, we repeatedly saw innovation—though not necessarily creativity—in market economies outperform that in centralised ones.
I can explain this.

About 15 years ago or so, together with a friend, we started a company whose goal was to offer a working product search for E-commerce.

Faceting was just one aspect of the problem, a much more pressing issue for non-English speaking countries is that you need a way to deal with declension and various misspellings (especially from people that do not enter accented characters). So we did. Solve the problems, that is. With a pretty good SaaS offering, reasonably easy to integrate into any E-commerce site.

And then we discovered that you can have a great product, but selling it is an entirely different problem, and we were not able to solve that problem. It turned out we were competing with marketing budgets: a customer (E-commerce site) could either pay us and improve the customer experience significantly, or they could spend this money on customer acquisition and improve the bottom line right away. Guess which approach won.

Another realization was that customer experience might actually not matter much. People are used to crappy websites and will jump through all sorts of hoops if the price is low. So many of our potential customers preferred to pay for customer leads (price comparison sites) and offer low prices, rather than improve customer experience, because customer loyalty isn't necessarily a thing these days.

Also, if your main acquisition channel is price comparison sites (which is the case in many countries), you don't care about search: customers will land directly on product pages (where the price is right) and will endure the crappy search to add some stuff to their carts.

We ended up with a bunch of happy customers who stayed with the product for years, but we stopped trying to sell it and moved to other things, it was just too hard to sell.

In other words, addressing the OP's (excellent) article: your hurt feelings don't matter much, and nobody really cares, as long as the customer acquisition funnel works and there is a steady increase in the bottom line numbers.

This seems dumb to me, it just moves parts of the power supply to the motherboard. Now if there's a power problem you have to replace the entire motherboard instead of just the power supply. In a couple of years you'll have an old motherboard with no new replacement options, if it fails you basically need a new computer because newer motherboards aren't compatible with your current CPU/RAM...

"Sanctioned infidelity" is not a stigma, it's a reality. While a select few may practice as they preach, most would rather a license that enables them to cheat without social consequence. The NYTimes marketed polyamory-as-cheating in a highly visible article way back when: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/11/magazine/is-an-open-marri...

It drew some backlash from the few happy polyamorous couples who were interviewed and didn't fit that reality: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/how-representation-worksor-do...

I'm a fan of using just as a command-runner as well, but took a slightly different approach to making it pip-installable! I created the `pyjust` package (https://pypi.org/project/pyjust/), which literally just packages the `just` binary in platform-specific wheels, and then unpacks it onto the PATH by leveraging the `scripts` directory unpacking.

Why do this you might ask? My rationale here was that I use `pipx` to install some python CLIs, and it was nice to be able to lump `just` in with that, as well as to be able to declare it as a "dependency" and pin specific versions for distribution.

No, you can also discover similarity in implementation to a degree that is much more scrutinized than patent infringement.

Hiring employees away to work on the same field of technology isn’t illegal by any means (and is explicitly not allowed to be illegal in California’s non compete rules).

Your comment said they hired them to replicate patented technology being illegal. It is not illegal, unless IP theft is involved.

But there’s been no evidence or even accusations towards that by the parties involved. That’s why the case has been purely in patent law and not corporate theft.

That they were found to have infringed the patents doesn’t have enough information to extrapolate legality of the hiring or work they did. Otherwise every other area of patent dispute like modems and design patents would be full of IP theft rulings too as folks move around.

> Components like RAMs, USB, and M.2 SSDs don't use 12v <snip> but 3.3V or 5V. The motherboard will be responsible for managing voltages for these components.

Surely this will simply move part of the complexity from the PSU to the motherboard? Resulting in more efficient and simple PSUs, but more inefficient and complex motherboards? I've only ever had motherboards fail because of leaky capacitors or busted voltage regulators. The only PSU failure I've ever had was on account of a broken fan. Won't this lead to more motherboard failures?

The cynic in me thinks that Intel would be fine with that, because that way they can sell more motherboard components.
When you work a physical job you are typically working for 8-12 hours straight with little break and you often do repeated, but non-ergonomic activity that leads to joint damage such as standing on hard floors for 12 hours; bending over repeatedly with poor form to pick up a heavy tool; kneeling on hard floor; etc. Often, because of the long hours and fatigue, individuals resort to bad form to rest their tired muscles.

Working out for leisure activity, however, is often higher intensity for a much shorter period of time and typically very controlled ergonomically to reduce joint stress / wear. Professional and enthusiast lifters know that when you can no longer maintain proper form you stop lifting. Runners train and build their bodies over a year or more to handle up to marathon distances. When it is your occupation you don’t have such a luxury, so bad form happens immediately and repeats for an entire career.

Further, people who work out are usually making a conscious effort to improve health and make dozens of other small decisions such as improved diet and hydration that would be difficult to account for or control in a study. A nurse, plumber, or construction worker may be in good physical shape and making healthy choices or not. If they are not they are putting more physical stress on their body. A runner is making on e very clear healthy choice that probably correlates to a bunch of other healthy choices.
