I thought that too, early on. Sort of a perfect-bricks-make-perfect-walls idea. And when problems emerge at the integration stage, it’s often traceable to a gap that a lower-level test could have caught. So the mentality is a bit self-reinforcing.

Last week I bought Copilot Pro ($30/month) with a Business Premium License ($27/month), and I'm not seeing the value / justification for Microsoft's AI Hype that has rolled into their stock price.

Most of Copilot Pro is a Chat GPT drop in (Word), which is unremarkable. Yes, you can prompt it to generate context specific responses via referencing a separate Word document that you've saved on your OneDrive, but that's no different than a Chat GPT plugin. In the end, it's just generative text. I haven't seen anything of substance yet for Excel.

PowerPoint's ability to take a Word document and make a presentation out of it (I absolutely hate making Powerpoints so this was why I frankly bought a license) _and_ use my company's Powerpoint brand template is pretty bad (in terms of generative / creative ability of designing the slides and content layout) and nonexistent (can't use my company branding).

The one redeeming aspect of Copilot Pro is Microsoft Teams meeting summaries, but I can't use it because I'm using a Business Premium license on my personal laptop and I can't use the Copilot Pro because my company credentials are with an O365 E3 license / my company will never buy Copilot Pro.

I bought it for myself to automate the tasks I do everyday (very basic Excel stuff) / assist in the more difficult aspects (create PowerPoint decks) and Copilot Pro isn't capable of substantively assisting me in these areas...yet. We will see if this changes.

There's a guy on YouTube that has been doing a great job detailing the differences between Copilot Pro consumer ($20/month) and Copilot Pro Premium ($30 month for 12 months, mandatory $360/year for Business Premium / I think the same single license flexibility is available for E3/E5) - https://youtu.be/UQlwywZ41t8?si=dWGwFsQvDdoqxxIc

Both are problems here but politicians in Texas write the laws in ways that try and protect the taxpayer often entirely denying victims the ability to sue negligent organizations. In this case there is a company without immunity that did something bad that put him where he got raped so he might actually have a chance at getting damages.
If you use emotionally charged language like "parasites", don't be surprised people find meaning beyond the most literal interpretations of what you say.

To avoid being misunderstood, explain how those quality issues arose from something that is attributable to the union, instead of simply calling their workers negligent and parasites.
a man raping a man is rape in most jurisdictions, its only when women rape men does it become sexual assault or "other sexual violence".

> And today I think we at least need to go to the level of that sub-assembly stuff if one wants to write anything that does not perform badly

You can write fast software today in assembly, C, C++, Rust, and languages like that. You don't need to go to the microcode level. The reason we have trouble with slow, bloated software today is because people don't do that, and instead use slower languages, like Python or JavaScript, using inefficient algorithms, with lots of potentially unnecessary dependencies that optimize for the general case, and not whatever specific problem the programmer wants to solve (which is often less efficient as well).

> Careful: In C, memory isn't a huge array of bytes.

Of course it is; the platform you are used to might have additional constraints, but that is outside of C itself.

On your platform (hardware/OS combination) it may not not be an array of bytes, but rest assured that conforming C compilers exist on platforms, such as embedded ones, where you can literally get a pointer to address zero, and use all the RAM as a huge array of bytes.

I quit flying in 2003 because the terrorists won. The TSA made flying horrible.

I always knew I could fly in an emergency. Given the latest revelations, I no longer feel that is the case. I would rather drive… or I won’t be going.
Wings snapping off hasn't ever really been a concern for me ever since I saw those early videos of how hard it is to brake a 747 wing. If I had to describe a current fear (which may be as unfounded as the wing one), it would be fire in the cargo hold.

On my last flight I smelled the distinct smell of plastic which was too hot, and it occurred to me that we were two and a half hours out of Kona and still two and a half hours from the west coast. Maybe that was irrational, but it certainly got my fears amped up a little.

It also didn't help that we were in strong turbulence for 4 straight hours and the flight was just plain uncomfortable. I wanted out of that plane in the worst way, LOL.

I had a go at writing this, both the initial float version and the later integer-based version. Note that I haven't actually tested these to make sure that output is correct, so, I might have messed up somewhere, and that I targeted Rocketlake for the CPU.

For the float-based version[0] I had to break out the unstable portable_simd to get it to vectorize. Most of the function ends up being setting up everything, but then actually doing the calculation is simple, and basically the same as non-SIMD section. I've never used the portable SIMD stuff before, and it was quite pleasant to use.

For the integer-based version, I started with the simple naive approach[1], and that vectorized to a pretty good degree on stable. However, it doesn't use the dot-product instruction. For that, I think we need to use nightly and go a bit manual[2]. Unsurprisingly, it mostly ends up looking like the float version as a fair chunk is just setup. I didn't bother here, but it should probably be using feature detection to make sure the instruction exists.

Shouldn't this be "Go for 2 when down 14"?

If you're down 8, with limited time remaining, you should always go for 2 to tie the game, instead of still being down by 1. You'd still need a field goal to take the lead, and that would still be the case if you miss the 2pt conversion.
According to Google Finance, their p/e is almost 40.

Not sure they have enough growth in them to justify that valuation. Apple is 32 and Google is below 30.

If you look through your window, it is likely that you will see the proof of concept that the energetic efficiency of extracting the 0.04% of CO2 from air and the hydrogen from water, and of converting both of them into hydrocarbons can be high enough to allow you to breathe and to satisfy your hunger.

The artificial alternatives already have better efficiency for capturing the solar light and for extracting the hydrogen. It remains necessary to improve the efficiency of the CO2 capture and of the conversion to hydrocarbons.
I think the idea of being able to downsize (or stay where you are after paying your mortgage off) is underrated. Going into retirement with no big outgoing costs for housing outside of insurance and maintenance is a big upside of owning a house (I'm not in the US, so no property taxes either). You don't need to make a profit on a home for it to pay off longer term.

Having a pension that can cover living costs while NOT having to also cover rent gives a lot of security. While it's also an option to get cheaper rent and put the difference into another investment, rent costs are hard to predict, so I'd rather not end up worrying about it later in life.

Is Brex the New WeWork?
Off the news that it's cutting 20% of its staff this got me thinking about parallels to WeWork: both were dressed up as tech companies with tech margins and valuations while they're really other (still useful) kinds of businesses.

WeWork provided a valuable service. It was hard to find a flexible office space for a growing (or contracting) company in a hip, fun space.

Brex provided a valuable service. It was hard for startups with little business history to get credit cards.

Both catered to the technology startup space but neither carried the gross margins or profitability of a software business. Yet, both raised at valuations that implied they were technology businesses with software margins.

Brex may also be a poster-child for ZIRP: money was cheap, so they could lend it out via credit cards quite easily. But this type of financial service is a battle for bips and is only truly profitable at tremendous scale and with other businesses as part of it - like the Visa, Mastercard rails.

Brex reportedly is at $270M in annual revenue, according to an Information article. It's unclear how much of that is their expense management software they've been pushing lately and how much is credit card business. I'd assume most is their credit card business.

Of course, they're not profitable and still burning cash every month. But, let's be generous and apply the standard SaaS public co multiple of 7X: $1.89 as a valuation, maybe bump it up to $2B if they're growing fast.

The company has raised $1.2B and has a valuation of 12B in the private markets. They have real competitors like Ramp which presumably have software-like margins. I'd assume 95% of employees are underwater on their equity (and I'd assume the founders have sold hundreds of millions in secondaries).

So, what happens next?
> Barring I have no mouth and I must scream scenarios or Butlerian Jihad scenarios, AI can make a better world for us (or for whatever replaces us).

> The alternative is for our monkey brains to keep ramming each other with cars, slamming projectiles into ships to draw political attention, getting angry at people with the wrong skin color, etc

Our limited monkey brains are, unfortunately, also the reference example for all the AI we want to make. Human-like alignment with human-like interests and human-like values. The default is this plus bugs from the software not doing what we thought we wanted it to do, which means all those things but done at machine speed rather than biological speed plus a bunch of other things that just make no sense when they happen. The bugs in particular can be, and in some cases have already been, weird beyond human comprehension.

I hope the safety/alignment people don't get caught up in either a scandal or a philosophical cul-de-sac.

Your comments suggest you have significantly more time to spare than I do. (However, I understand this is just my interpretation.)

I'm entitled to my opinion on INTU and the government, regardless of whether it's factual or not. You're interpreting my views as anti-government negativity, which I don't agree with. Additionally, I wasn't aware that writing a research paper with proper citations was part of the conversation. To conclude, it seems your primary interest lies in debate.

> They also might own shares of INTU... Even that is not criminal.

Right but acting on inside information would be illegal.

That's the implicit assumption because a regular "man raped in jail" headline has never made it to the top of HN. People are only concerned here because (1) he was innocent and (2) AI was involved, otherwise the usual reaction from the public at large is "good riddance".

If society as a whole is okay with prison rape then it is also occasionally going to happen to innocent people, and we have to be okay with that as well.

Science is highly incentivized to make you think that this is what's eroding trust in the scientific literature and institutions. Not ivory tower "trust the science" rhetoric. Not universities being taken over by administrators and pushing everyone who is competent and self respecting into private industry. Not the insane things that Science/Nature publish themselves on a regular basis. The real problem is random no-name professors bribing their way into no-name journals.
So because no major country has solved this problem (except hungry which doesnt count because... reasons) then you oppose doing anything more than what has already been tried? Could that argument be used to oppose climate change action? Or literally any problem? You’re argument is logically invalid.
One is reminded of the saying, "once a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric". Number of papers published in (almost any) journal, has long since come to be viewed as a target that you have to hit in order to get tenure, grant funding, etc.

Another way to say it is, if there is a problem with bribery, what is it that was supposed to prevent that? Currently, the answer is approximately "nothing". There is nothing in the current scientific publishing system that is intended to prevent bribes, you just aren't supposed to do that, or accept them if they are offered, but there is no mechanism to suppress it. Therefore, it happens.

> But how fortunate, a man raping a man isn't actually "rape". Its just "sexual assault".

Why exactly are you making this statement in a thread based on an article that explicitly calls that act "rape"? It directly contradicts your argument.
I think most development occurs on problems that can't be formally modeled anyway. Most developers work on things like, "can you add this feature to the e-commerce site? And can the pop-up be blue?" which isn't really model-able.

But that's not to say that formal methods are useless! We can still prove some interesting aspects of programs -- for example, that every lock that gets acquired later gets released. I think tools like Infer[0] could become common in the coming years.

When I was a kid, we had a pear tree growing in our yard. Yet the various foods which mom made from the pears varied greatly in taste.

With the pears, it was visually obvious to the pear-pickers (us kids) that each pear was different, and that their character varied from year to year. (I'd guess based mostly on weather.) Similarly obvious how pears that were only cooked enough to start melting the ice cream scooped onto them would taste quite different from pears cooked down into jam, or pears that were caramelized in a fry pan (to be put on top of ice cream), or...
One of the things that "innocent until proven guilty" needs to mean is that pre-trial confinement is sufficiently comfortable, safe, and accommodating so as not to be confused for punishment, deterrence, or any other outcome of a judicial proceeding.

Putting pre-trial detainees in the same population as convicted prisoners (ie, county jails) is very strange.

> Perhaps I'm behaving irrationally due to fear

Or there's some other, unrelated reason - might be worth exploring.

I had a huge fear of flying but turns out it was "just" kidney stones - I was afraid of experiencing discomfort during takeoff and landing, but didn't realise it. Once they passed, the discomfort, and thus fear that was caused by it, vanished.

As for Boeing: I'm sure the media is now full of stories that would not be news if not for the recent events. All to woo you into clicking that link.

Personally I have trust in the institutions which make flying the safest form of travel - especially seeing how they already grounded a number of planes due to the incident(s?) recently.

> Perhaps I'm behaving irrationally due to fear

From a probability perspective, it's absolutely irrational. However that doesn't make your fear any less real to you.

After I went skydiving, the instructor came over to give me a pep talk in order to calm my nerves for what I was about to do—the most dangerous thing I may do all day—drive home. There are plenty of reasons to instinctually fear certain activities, but with rigorous preparation, inspection, and guidelines they can actually be safer than every day activities we grow complacent of.

Boeing's quality control issues have been known and talked about for years, and the initial MCAS problems with the MAX were the consequence of prioritizing certification and pilot training over a more robust redesign. But still, casualties per flight or per mile flown make even the least safe late model commercial airline remarkably reliable. Whenever an issue is discovered, they should ground the affected planes, investigate, resolve, and hopefully improve future quality control and maintenance guidelines.

So to answer your question, I would be comfortable to the extent that I wouldn't give the model of airplane a second thought and will buckle my seatbelt on the taxi ride to the airport next week for my flight. Airplane model unknown.
