Fixing bugs in code it writes itself is very different to diagnosing (i.e. identifying, not fixing) bugs in my own code.

When stuck I often paste code into ChatGPT and ask why it doesn't work, and it will often help me quickly identify the error and propose a fix.
I consider 'fuck you' money to be enough that it'll last until you die, while living comfortably. This is still an amount that you burn through in a lifetime. Something _like_ 'financial independance, retire early'.

I think the parent is suggesting a money threshold beyond which you can't really feasibly spend it fast enough (without being deliberately wasteful), so 'the rich get richer'.
Upcoming things full of hype that look promising are the game Skywind and UltraRAM.

Things worth the hype:

Hubble, JWST, power steering, airbags, antilock brakes. Actually the only things I can think of are material sciences, safety mechanics, construction techniques, and scientific observations. These are all things hyped in a professional venue that are boring in general contexts. I can’t think of anything in the mainstream that was worth the hype.
This concept is quite general: most sensors and actuators are transducers: i.e. they work in both directions as a sensor and an actuator. It varies from one to the other how well something designed for one role can work as another, but in the care of speakers they are actually reasonably good microphones.

Another fun example: solar panels are LEDs and LEDs are solar panels. You can detect light with an LED (and in theory power something from it, but you'd need a lot of light and not need much power) and you can emit light with a solar panel. Most solar panels will only emit light in the infrared, though. I have seen a triple-junction solar panel being back-driven by others in parallel with it, and it glowed a deep red, which is pretty cool.
Intel also integrates Tensillica cores as sound DSP (IIRC into PCH not CPU itself). And NXP has some kind of i.MX part that somewhat closely couples Tensillica DSP core(s) to ARM SoC. So I would say that today probably everybody except TI uses Cadence/Tensillica DSP cores.
R2 is still pretty new. I don't know how well it works in practice in terms of performance and availability. And of course durability, which is difficult if not impossible to judge. S3 has a much longer history and track record, so it has the advantage here. And if all your stuff is inside AWS already there are advantages to keeping the data closer. Depending on how the data is used, egress might also not always be such a major cost.

But yes, the moment you actually produce significant amounts of egress traffic it gets absurdly expensive. And I would expect competitors like R2 to gain ground if they can provide reasonably competitive reliability and performance.
So, rich people are bad human beings, for not wanting to help others. Someone really are. But some did help others and are continuing to do so.

Just by being rich, doesn't mean you are bad. Likewise, by being poor, doesn't mean you are good.

> Host it yourself.

If you're actually using the features of cloud - i.e. managed services - then this involves building out an IT department with skills that many companies just don't have. And the cost of that will easily negate or exceed any savings, in many cases.

That's a big reason that the choice of cloud became such a no brainer for companies.
Qualcomm has not given much details but it will be interesting to see performance numbers for 23Watt profile. Even if you can match M1/M2 performance that would be big step up from x86

... if you automate it there's even more things to learn, of course.

this is not a black-and-white thing, outsourcing makes sense in many cases and doesn't in others. the automotive industry does it for quasi-standardized components. (and there's a competitive market, for airplane parts, not so much it seems.)

and on top of all this for things that have inherent safety critical aspects there is no real difference between outsourcing or doing it in-house, there's a need for controls (organizational, quality, independent testing lab with random sampling).

the fucked up process of gutting companies for short-term profits happened just as well for non-outsourced departments too.

as industries mature, companies grow and became organizationally more complex training and advancement itself becomes a challenge. (and many companies just put their heads in the proverbial sand, and hire clueless recruiters - or outsource it - and end up with paper tigers, who have absolutely no idea WTF is going on in the company, but quarterly reports look amazing.)

...

finally, if market forces push for short-term thinking (and simple, wrong, but fancy 'solutions') that's what we'll end up. and if society and politics also has the same mindset it's not surprising that industry will mirror it. (and to overuse the overused cliché gestures wildly )
Nothing necessarily wrong with that code, but it also kinda smells. Why even store it as bfloat16 at all? You risk getting the numerical disadvantages of both float16-representation, and none of the advantages.

"[..] gets turned into a project to rebuild Iraq into a western liberal democracy [..]"

It's like the third time in a week that I read this nonsense somewhere.

Obviously,Iraq was not invaded "to bring democracy".

Also there is the assumption that the people that make this decisions care at all about democracy, you get to kill half a million people and still be the good guys:

"See? we bombed them because we wanted to bring democracy, too bad they were not ready for it. Maybe it was a mistake but done with the best of intentions!"

That sounds like an argument for public financing of political campaigns and the elimination of private contributions.

How are political campaign contributions not bribery? For some reason, we allow and have legalized bribery in this area.

IIRC WinRE asks for a local administrator password before doing any recovery operations, no? Also, this is one of the reasons why "auto unlock" is generally a huge asterisk and PIN/password/network unlock are recommended instead, if possible. (Though they do force you to be a laptop nanny during update times and unlock it on every restart...)
aka "living within your means", used to be laudable.
All of the problems you point out are entirely related to money in politics though. The gp said "Democracy is being eroded if an actual power can be obtained through accumulating wealth" - that's the point here. Politicians are bought, elections are bought.
No, they want peace. But you need to invest in defence if you want peace. Like how you need a well funded police if you want less crime in your neighbourhood. I believe the opposite - defund the police - has been tried recently in certain US cities with the predictable sad results.
Well, I’m not exactly opposed to spending more on useful infrastructure… but I see serious political reformation as a pre-condition to any major increases in taxation regardless of the target.

As I see it, we’d be stealing from the rich and giving to rich lobbying interests in some fashion.

I feel, for the US, the Covid stimulus was pretty telling in how money gets allocated to us and to them.
I don't know why you are being downvoted, but, for what it is worth, neoliberal policies are at the core of the European Union and the West in general. Everybody is aware of their failure, at least since 2007/2008, though nobody is able to propose any alternative, except populistic fluff...
AI to impact 60% of advanced economy jobs, says IMF's chief
Well, intel CPUs have always been jack of all trades as well and the software support is the best so far to this date.

What scares me about those ARM SBCs is the lack of software support, especially when it comes to GPU acceleration. They perform very well in headless mode, but on graphics they all still lag far behind.

One day (maybe another couple of generations of SBCs) will be better, but we are not there yet.
It was a joke, a parody of how often HN itself acts as a pleb filter, specifically about telling people to "go back to Reddit", and it got flagged... two days ago. Mea culpa for trying to be humorous in the no-humor zone.

The commentariat already punished me. The system worked as intended, I paid a misdemeanor fine of karma for a misdemeanor offense, and I made a number of better comments since, and we should all have moved on by now. This wasn't something you needed to step in on.

Nah, I think it's mostly about the second part of your comment. Everyone hates waiting for months to get a VM or a database or a firewall rule because the infrastructure/DBA teams are stuck ten years in the past and take pride in their artisanal infrastructure building.

So moving to the cloud eliminates a useless layer of time wasting,

Don't worry, you will grow out of it (thats not patronizing, just an observation on both me and many around me over decades). Life is complex, way more complex than you think it is and often a least-bad solution is used and stays around.

All you have to keep remembering is that whatever solution to the problem is, it has to work reliably long term on its own on real lazy and greedy folks out there, not some handwavy wishful statements without much substance and utterly unrealistic expectations.

Capitalism is fine. You just need to add a bit of inescapable wealth tax or similar solid mechanism. Which is unrealistic in US, hence the inevitable direction its heading towards.
Spotted my manager right here.
Agreed, maybe I wasn't clear enough. I don't view it as BI team vs platform team vs whoever. Maybe a decrease in the need for PhD AI consultants for small projects, or to wait for some privileged IT team for basic tasks, so they can focus on bigger things.

Instead of Herculean data infra projects, this is a good time for figuring out new policy abstractions, and finding more productive divisions of labor between different days stakeholders and systems. Machine-friendly abstractions and structure are tools for predictable collaboration and automation. More doing, less waiting.

More practically, an increasing part of the Louie.ai stack is helping get the time-consuming quality, guardrails, security, etc parts under easier control of small teams building things. As-is, it takes a lot to give a great experience.

I think what you're missing is that DP is not an algorithm in itself, but rather a theorem. I also didn't knew about this for a long time. Quoting from [1, §4]

> It should be stressed, here and elsewhere, that the DP functional equation
> does not constitute an algorithm. It merely stipulates a certain property
> that function f defined in (3) must satisfy. Indeed, in the context of Theorem
> 2 the functional equation constitutes a necessary optimality condition. This

so that is actually happening in Dijkstra's algorithm is that the DP optimality condition is being reached with a sequence of clever approximations. Another common way to reach the DP optimality condition is by recursively exploring everything with a cache, this is how compsci people usually learn about DP, and of course this can get exponential and does not apply well to big problmems. Though, both are dynamic programming at their core.

> in my view, the framework of dynamic programming is not a useful way to analyze algorithms that explore a small set of states in an exponentially larger state space

Well, since DP is a theorem I kinda agree, it is not how one should think about it when solving day-to-day problems. But formally DP is the reason why these algorithms work in the first place.

Capital begets capital. That's not a secret.

No offense but we don't need a new economic concept. We need to adjust or priorities. Take this article, note the headline is not "The five people who gave away the highest percentage of their wealth" or "The five people who saved the most lives in 2023". Etc. You get the point.

We've collectively have bought into and become fixated on a single currency of measurement. We say "success" and don't bother to preface it with "financial" as if there are no other forms of success. There are.

Words create worlds. We have the words. But we don't use them to our (i.e., 99.5%) own advantage.
Thank you so much for that comment. I really appreciate the feedback.

I do sometimes come off as arrogant. That's unfortunate, and in part due to my cultural background. It's helpful feedback. It's difficult to be downvoted or attacked, and not know why.

I will mention: They're just different skill sets. I know people who can dive into a complex piece of code or dev-ops infrastructure and understand it in hours or days. I'm just not one of them.

Learning to design control systems is a very deep (and rather obscure) pile of mathematics which takes many years of study and is a highly specialized. I picked it up for oddball reasons a few decades ago. Doing proper control systems requires a lot of advanced linear algebra, rational functions, frequency domain analysis, parts of differential equations, etc. That's not the same thing as general math skills. Most people who specialize in this field work in Matlab, wouldn't know what docker is, and in terms of general mathematics, have never taken a course on abstract algebra or topology. Even something like differential equations, one needs only a surface understanding of (it disappears when one shifts to Laplace domain or matrix state space representations).

There's a weird dynamic where things we can't do often seem easier or harder than ones we can. Here, I just have a specialized skillset relevant to the conversation. That doesn't imply I'm a genius, or even a brilliant mathematician.

That just implies I can design an optimal control system. Especially for a system with dynamics as simple as room lighting. And would have a fun time doing that for everything in HA in my house and sharing.

I'd really like to have other things work the same way too, for that matter, where e.g. my HVAC runs heating 24/7 at the right level, rather than toggling on and off. With my background, the intimidating part isn't the math or the electronics, but the dev-ops.

Here is an example of how people in the military making policy decisions think about it[1]. This guy in particular worked as national security advisor.

My take is that it comes from nations avoiding war if they don’t think they can win anything from it. Weakness simply means you cannot stop the enemy from accomplishing their goals. Weakness is definitely not sufficient or necessary. Instead it is the perception of weakness from one party (accurate or not) that may incite violence. A better one liner would be “weakness is provocative”.

Switzerland? "effectively deal with any and all complaints common folks have against the rich"? That's laughable. Switzerland is a known tax haven for the wealthy through legit and non-legit means. Has been for centuries.

A majority of the population thinks wealth inequality in Switzerland is too high

https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/society/majority-consider-inequ...

I'd say the way the rich in Switzerland have effectively managed it, is to keep their mouth shut. There are plenty of very wealthy people who never show up on the Forbes list because their money isn't new and it isn't public.

It's possible partly by the user shotgunning their own foot. WinRE gets auto-decrypt access to your drive because upon setting up BitLocker, the user chose "automatically unlock this drive on startup" instead of a PIN unlock. (Which then utilizes the TPM to auto-unlock so it's not like your keys are on the storage device directly)

If you use any non-auto unlock -- PIN, passphrase, network -- then WinRE can't magically access your data and needs that code to then retrieve a key from the TPM.

I beg you people to engage with actual facts. You can't deny that there is combat going on there, what are we actually arguing about.

Is Israel obliged to provide water to an enemy entity? In what world does a country attacked by an enemy have an obligation to provide water.
Why is Hamas, which is in control of Gaza, not obliged to provide water for its citizens? WHy is it the responsibility of Israel?

Nevertheless,they turned the water back on
https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-says-it-is-restarting-w...

"Occupying land and blockading gaza is fine"

Israel left Gaza in 2005. The blockade of Gaza was in response to Hamas taking power and immediately engaging in attacks against Israel. WHy do you think Egypt also blockades Gaza?

"But NOW you draw a line"
Please, engage with facts

Israel spent 17 years trying to manage Hamas without engaging in a full on war, despite Hamas repeated attacks against Israel. This strategy completely failed culminating in October 7th. Which showed that Hamas can't be managed, it must be destroyed. That is what is currently going on in Gaza. All this could have been different had Hamas made different choices. But they chose war and war they got.

> I totally fail to understand why this is a polarizing issue as 99.5% of people are on the same side of the threshold...

Because people who think like they deserve a piece of private property of someone else, when they get to power, are never satisfied with going just after the richest. They eventually imprison the whole society in a dark, Soviet reality. Someone should introduce an economical concept for this.
Socialism is all over. Schools are socialist, socialized healthcare is socialist, and police and military and public roads and social security and libraries etc etc. Also plenty of state owned industry doing just fine.

Attempts at capitalism haven't worked out so far. They have invariably devolved into 'crony capitalism' despite ruthless profit maximization and widespread selfishness.

> Besides what does it even mean?

That one side believes they can win.

It’s a bit tautological. In order for you to prevail you must be stronger than your opponent in one or more critical areas. If you think you can win then you believe to know the weakness of your opponent.

Depending on your morals the causation here could easily be turned: once you see what you believe to be a weak opponent, you go for the win.
>I totally fail to understand why this is a polarizing issue as 99.5% of people are on the same side of the threshold...

> An even bigger WTF, though, is that the server gets to control through CSP which off-site style sheets the user can link against and even whether use of the style attribute is permitted.

I don't understand the problem. This is exactly the use case for CSP - allow the server to lock down to a more restricted, and safer subset of the web platform. It plays an important part in providing a failsafe for displaying untrusted/user content on the web (and elsewhere).

I know of one podcast client that uses CSP to safely render HTML podcast notes, blocking the loading of images and any external assets. Pretty neat if you ask me.

Why do you think CSP is user hostile?
