They're literally named after a guy named Houthi, who was not, like, the 4th Imam from 875AD, but was alive until a few years ago. He watched Die Hard. They're a splinter from Zaydi Shi'a, which makes them a subset of a minority in Yemen, which is majority Sunni. The Houthis like to blow off steam by blowing up Sunni mosques. Unfortunately, the Arabian Peninsula boasts some of the world's least competent governments, which operate the literal least competent armed forces in the world, so a well organized IRGC-backed Shi'a David Koresh stands a good chance of running the whole show there.
> This result - poor Chat GPT performance - surprises me. I thought pattern detection and set forming was something that Chat GPT could do well

I would speculate it’s struggling because of the linear nature of its output, and the red-herring words which crossover between categories.

Because the model can’t “look ahead”, it starts spitting out valid combinations, but without being able to anticipate that committing to a certain combination early on will lead to a mistake later.

I expect if you asked it to correct its output in a followup message, it could do so without much difficulty.
During my stay in Kyoto for university, we had one vegan girl with us. We all thought she would suffer a lot due to everything having fish in it (dashi).

However, she managed really well. She found so many vegan restaurants and dishes that even our teachers were quite surprised. She also knew the most food-related Kanji of us all and thus knew exactly what to look for in stores/restaurants.

So yes, you can totally get by in Japan as a Vegetarian/Vegan, but you have to do a lot of research/looking up beforehand

> even if they had to forsake some useful features

Curious: what does VMWare do that you can't do using Xen, KVM etc? Why was VMWare worth a billion?

I used to use VMWare ages ago (free version). It had nice GUIs; ad-hoc VM setup and management was miles easier than Xen (my driver). But most VM setup isn't ad-hoc, and isn't done through a UI, it's done through automation.

> Finally put months on your CV - it's not clear if your most recent role was 12 months or 1.

I've stopped doing that because it gets tiring why I changed so frequently in recent years. It's not my fault places go bankrupt, startups do layoffs, or teams just up and dissolve after you join, and it gets tiring explaining that rather than discussing my experience, skills, and interests and the role at hand. It was a total mistake to enter into the startup world.
I had a colleague who told me his secret - "I just say 3 or 5 to anything". That was it. He would pause, then say 3 or 5. Anything I was asked to estimate, I'd give real effort estimates based on their scale. And was always pushed back on like you noted above. And it was a constant struggle. Yet... I always (like... over 95% of the time) hit all my targets, delivered early, and would sometimes pick up the other slack. The other guy with 3/5 - would almost always get pulled in to some other project (or aspect of the project) so almost never got his stuff 'done' (often I would finish it). But on paper... his estimates were always 'so easy' and his tickets always got done (often by me) but I was the 'difficult' one (for many other reasons beyond this).
> statistically speaking, much safer than older aircraft generations. It surely does not feel that way, but incidents-per-flight, not to mention incidents-per-flight-hour and incidents-per-flight-mile, strongly disagree

777 enters that chat. Over the 30 year lifetime of the aircraft there have been a total of 242 fatalities excluding terrorism. The first major incident resulting in a hull loss, happened over 10 years after the aircraft was introduced.
Well, the resolution of the MCAS disaster was... pretty much a documentation update?

There is now a warning sticker on the 737-MAX that says "CAUTION: this aircraft is equipped with a stick pusher. See owners manual (updated versions only) for details. MAY CAUSE DEATH OR OTHER SIDE EFFECTS."

Oh, and possibly the stick pusher has been made less aggressive in situations that only occur outside North America. But the public record is, eh, sketchy on that. Best-case, pilots now at least know about it.

The number or the configuration of the air flow/angle-of-attack sensors on the 737-MAX was not changed, nor were there any changes to how these sensors are connected to the flight control systems. And probably rightfully so: the 737 platform is simply not about fly-by-wire, and retrofitting is not a realistic option. Whether the MCAS update(s) fit within those constraints remains to be seen, but has no bearing on the current discussion.
That is a bad quote out of context. The original drug was a prodrug, agreed upon with the FDA.

"To create a usable medication
from tenofovir, Gilead was required to develop an alternative
form of the chemical, known generally as a “prodrug,” that would
be safe and effective when administered orally.
Gilead eventually created TDF, a prodrug form of tenofovir,
and focused its development efforts on that compound. TDF was
approved by the FDA for sale as a treatment for HIV/AIDS
in 2001. At some point during its work, Gilead developed a second
prodrug form of tenofovir, TAF, that also showed promise in the
treatment of HIV/AIDS"

The FDA does not engage in horse trading like saying we will approve this Dangerous Drug if you promise to develop a safer one in the future. Drugs either meet clearly established legal criteria, or they don't.
I did the much same thing (pbpaste | xxd), but don't understand how the hidden characters are tipping ChatGPT.
Anki FSRS moves closer to being a "just-in-time" algorithm based only on user-provided inputs. And although its data structures aren't strictly modular, they come as close as practical to that ideal while still remaining compatible with legacy Anki decks and extensions.

In practice, that's illustrated by the fact that there's now a button to fully recompute all intervals and difficulties based only on your history and the current algorithm tunings. And if you've already been using FSRS and the tunings haven't changed, the recomputation won't have any effect because it's equivalent to the incremental computations after each review.

So in principle it could be thought of as a just-in-time pure function, which involves a cache of generated data only for legacy & performance reasons.
You really think that is a realistic position given products like replit.com entering the market?

I think for many people the fact it is a tightly walled garden is a feature - those walls keep bad actors out. For many people a phone is just a tool, and they're quite happy to pay a tax to make it trouble free.

The generation of my parents (60s+) is generally not hugely tech savvy. They remember the days of windows XP well - endless viruses, trojans and expensive security software. One of the reasons iPhones are so popular with this group is they let them use the web without fear of dealing with that again.

I think startups and venture capitalism is destroying the economy. I think this is pretty clear qualitatively, but I'd also like to start investigating it quantitatively.
I suspect "wanting to diminish the power workers had built" should go on that list, as should "money is no longer free". Interest rates mean homeowners are far less likely to move, and companies are far less likely to keep spending borrowed money like it's candy.

As for driving down wages & forcing people back into offices, we had a run where crypto companies were willing to pay a significantly higher percentage of a worker's value to the company & didn't care about playing nice with the other executives they golf with. Now that that bubble popped, the more-conventional companies don't have to continue to compete with those salaries and can go back to keeping more of the consumer surplus for the shareholders. But since you can't just lower people's wages, the way to lower average wages is by firing people you hired at the high wage rate.
Thanks for your feedback!

1. Yes, only when the game launches. I think the naming of the loop is related to single player games like Portal, where this way of naming makes much more sense because you have frictionless changing of levels there.

2. You are right that is a hole in the explanation and I do not know the answer, but it is definitely a fix for the problem. Likely the details of my conclusion are incomplete but at this point I don't feel like digging deeper because it's not necessary at the moment.
I have always been pretty skeptical of the value proposition of these companies. We have had prefab construction for decades and you could buy kit homes from the Sear's catalog in 1908. These methods are definitely useful but constructing the actual structures just doesn't seem to be the bottleneck in getting housing built.

I often hear the lack of productivity growth in the construction industry used as a justification for why companies like this are needed but you could also interpret that as the absence of incentives to increase productivity.

I am not quite sure what the bottleneck is, but it seems related to a combination of zoning, the ever-rising cost of land, housing's dual role as a commodity and an asset, a highly fragmented industry with perverse incentives, and interests entrenched by a combination of momentum and policy.
Feels more like a walled trash heap these days tbh.

All the innovation is happening outside it.
Warmer or colder compared to what? Holding nothing? Holding a liquid also at air temperature? You gotta clarify the scenario more to get a good answer. Also our perception of temperature is terrible, we can only really tell differences and how fast we are loosing or gaining heat.

When you are holding something, you are transferring heat via conduction, which is generally much faster than radiation or convection. You also transfer heat to the nearby air, heating it up. As the air gets closer to your body temperature, you loose less heat, as most heat transference is a function of temperature difference. If something like a jacket keeps the warm air close to your body, then you feel warm. If something like wind moves the warm air away, then you will will feel cold, this is the source of wind chill. But either way, you don't transfer as much heat to air as you would a solid or liquid.

To answer your question, it will probably make you colder because you are going to transfer heat faster to a solid than the air in most cases. Even if its slightly warmer than the ambient air temperature, its much colder than you. There might be an edge case where windchill is extreme enough that shelter from the wind by touching the drink may be warmer. Also the drink itself will stay colder longer than compared to a hot day, as it will also be transferring heat to the air.

This is also related to why being wet and cold is much more dangerous than just cold. Cold water acts as a heat wick that transfers heat out of your body, and then to the air. Unlike your skin, it doesn't have a barrier to the air and will radiate heat to the air faster, also your body will waste energy heating up the water without any benefit.
Presumably it was at least considered. I would guess that the negatives would be taking more disk space (and potentially imposing greater IO concurrency though that probably isn't a great issue with modern storage systems), and it being more complex (if not in the core design, then in having extra edge cases to make sure are all covered).

Other databases do do similar to what you suggest, though obviously the trade-offs will differ because of other different internals and product priorities, so it would have been thought about. For instance MS SQL Server has multiple “virtual logs” in its log files, for at least some overlapping reasons.
You mentioned that you're a huge Embraer 19x-E2 fan. I'm not well informed on that airframe, but a former co-worker of mine (two different companies -- one of them Boeing) told me about a horrible lack of engineering oversight, failure to meet specifications, and a lack of concern for insufficient test coverage on the Embraer. He swore that he would never fly in one.
Geekbench 5 pretended that all multi-core workloads were embarrassingly parallel by running N independent copies of the single-core test across N cores, with zero communication between threads. Geekbench 6 takes a more realistic approach so Amdahl's Law applies and it doesn't scale linearly with more CPU cores.
there's so much to unpack here!!

I agree, the billionaires have better lawyers and accountants than the governments. They also have far more flexibility.

The UK has been such a finance powerhouse for a long time because it ignores all the issues and foibles of the super wealthy customers it serves.

As soon as they start punishing them with taxes and rules they’ll just move. It would only work with a global alliance which would never happen. You’d end up with even more wealth moving to small specialized off shore jurisdictions.

I largely agree with what you mean, just not the way it was expressed.

I actually think something closer to name and shame, or setting better examples would work better. Trying to get Musk to emulate Carnegie setting up the libraries, Guggenheim and his art. Encourage and reward the behavior that sees the wealthy spending money to create great and lasting public institutions, rather than great and lasting private wealth.

All coupled with an insane inheritance tax without loopholes.

As someone who has dealt with users who use a system in an unintended way, you don't go looking for those people and you don't build something to enforce a policy like this. When you're running services for lots of customers, you often don't know a lot of what's going on in the system and how people are using it. Then something seems weird or something is causing a problem and you want to deal with it - and you want the language out there so that you can deal with it.

In Amazon's case, their bandwidth pricing isn't really defendable. It's just crap. However, sometimes you're trying to offer something reasonable, but need to make sure that a customer doesn't end up abusing something. For example, Chia is a cryptocurrency that will basically wear through SSDs (it's a proof-of-space system). There aren't explicit limits on how frequently you can write to a disk from most hosting providers, but Chia goes beyond what normal usage would do to a disk. Chia farmers would rather burn someone else's SSD that they're renting than their own. But no one at most hosting providers was probably looking at how frequently people were writing before noticing "hey, why are the disks failing faster than we'd expect?"

They probably haven't taken action on it because they probably haven't noticed it being a problem. But if you're a whale of a customer and suddenly your data transfer charges drop off a cliff, someone might end up looking into that and seeing what's going on.

My worry is that China believes that Taiwanese are weak and will surrender immediately. This is the impression I get from China supporters online. They also talk about Taiwan capitulating from bombardment or blockade, but those have never worked in the past.

I think Taiwan needs to show more preparation and resolve. Maybe this election will change things and they will spend more on military. Mostly by stockpiling shells, missiles, mines, and food. Taiwan has advantage that they can build own missiles since few will sell to them.

It might have had to be absolute on ancient Unixen ... Unices? Seems POSIX has all of this to say about shebangs:
