I think that strictly looking at it in terms of money-related operations stuff can still be managed/double-checked externally, i.e. by the real world, which means that whatever mistakes/inconsistencies might show up there's still a "hard reality" out there that will start screaming "hey! this money figure is not correct!" because people tend to notice when there are big money-discrepancies and the "mistakes" are, generally speaking, reversible when it comes to money.

What's worrying is when systems like these get used in real-time life-and-death situations, and there's basically no reversibility because that would imply dead people returning to life. For example the code used for stuff like outer space exploration, sure that right now we can add lots and lots of redundancies and check-ups in the software being used in that domain because the money is there to be spent and we still don't have that many people out there in space. But what will happen when we'll think of hosting hundreds, even thousands of people inside a big orbital station? How will we be able to make sure that all the safety-related code for that very big structure (certainly much bigger than we have now in space) doesn't cause the whole thing to go kaboom based on an unknown-unknown software error?

And leaving aside scenarios that are not there yet, right now we've started using software more and more when it comes to warfare (for example for battle simulations based on which real-life decisions are taken), what will happen to the lives of soldiers whose conduct in war has been lead by faulty software?
Joking aside - telling stories, entertainment, sport etc is something the UK is actually good at.

Thanks, that's pretty impressive. I suppose with blazing fast token generation now things like diarisation and the actual model are holding us back.

Once it flawlessly understands when it is being spoken to/if it should speak based on the topic at hand (like we do) then it'll be amazing.

I wonder if ML models can feel that feeling of wanting to say something so bad but having to wait for someone else to stop talking first ha ha.
I agree that the UK has had a paper economy for a long time now, but to a lesser extent, so do other EU countries. Not that I don't think this is a mistake, only that it should show that this is not the issue.

The issue is pessimism, something the British excel at. Economic investment and stock markets obviously don't do well with that.

Unpopular opinion, but Brexit didn't _need_ to be a disaster. It was made so by the negativity surrounding it. A large part of the shit-show was investors getting spooked and moving abroad, because of all the doom-and-gloom it became a self fulfilling prophecy.
Rust needs to add some runtime checks when calling destructors in scenarios where some object may or may not be moved.

In C++ for instance, for smart pointers, the destructor will have a
"if p!= NULL". Then if the smart pointer was moved, it makes the pointer null and the destructor checks at runtime for it.
It's become bad to the point an indie dev can't even post to get feedback even when the thing he's poured his blood into completely matches the forum's topic. Extra minus points if he offers it for free (so suspicious!)

You are now expected to develop in the dark, without ever mentioning anywhere the thing you are working on and fully knowing that your "blog" gets completely ignored by Google

I personally refuse to host my blog on a "trusted" domain. I likewise refuse to use Twitter, Youtube, Tiktok, and whatever else works nowadays because search engines can't be arsed to tell the difference between legitimate content and spam AND because people's attention span have become smaller than a tadpole's

This is a sore point for me personally. That's why I went through the effort of creating my own personal search engine that filters out all this SEO spam and made it public for others to use https://www.aisearch.vip
The thing which really irks me about "bullshit culture" is that it inhibits running companies properly. For example a lot of startups don't focus on quality of execution and efficiency (although this is changing) because they convince themselves that what they are going to discover/create will be _so_ impactful that basically everything else is immaterial in comparison (once they've created X it will make so much money that it doesn't matter how much they burn now) and things like work culture/organisational problems/profitability are not to be prioritised.

I think there's a case that chasing short-term profitability is bad and can inhibit making more profit in the long run. I don't think there's a case that organisational disfunction is fine – it basically prevents people with great ideas and great teams from reaching their goals. Look at companies such as Uber to see what can happen when you fix the extremely intense organisational problems in a company (under Dara Khosrowshahit Uber has basically had a massive turnaround).

There's the a16z theory that it's better to just throw as much money as it takes money at a problem because it takes too much time to work out a more efficient way to spend the money and you're going to be making infinite money soon. I actually think this is really dangerous – even if we assume that there's infinite money, there's only so much time that we can allocate to certain problems (because time is limited) and an inability to work out how to prioritise and allocate scarce resources in an effective way stops companies from growing.
No, a degree does not demonstrate that you ARE something - modulo defects and accidents, all humans are composed of the same parts. A degree asserts that you have demonstrated skills and knowledge of a particular subject, most often at the same institution that taught those skills and knowledge. No analogy needed.

I worked for 2 years in a pharma-startup in Basel. First (and last) try from my side to work in a startup. I left early on. Now it is struggling for survival, cutting more than 50% of staff. My my experience there, I could say that it fits the profile described in the article.

"Work during the weekends" was masked behind the "be passionate" mantra. Before investors everything was shiny, inside was a rotten apple. Management conducted themselves in a pompous and "self-entitling" way every single day.

Not sure if all startups are so, start like this and than change, or just I had the bad luck of finding one of the bad ones.

Regarding passion, in my opinion, it is for those who really are in for the creation process. Creating something new, something that really changes things. Something that also brings financial freedom or at least makes them feel very very good. Otherwise, there is no such thing as passion without satisfaction. You can’t transfer passion. You can’t make other people passionate (at least not, if you are not Gandhi or someone similar).
Even if the risk of falls usually increases due to normal aging, it may be dangerous to not consider all possible causes.

Especially for females, eating too little salt while also being on high blood pressure medication can lead to a too low concentration of sodium in the blood (hyponatremia), for which some of the main symptoms are balance difficulties and muscular weakness, leading to a high risk of falls.

I had this problem with my mother, for which a couple of falls have been wrongly attributed to old age and this has determined the failure to diagnose the real cause (by not sending her to blood analysis) until it has been too late and much more severe symptoms had developed, seriously endangering her life.

The content of salt in food must be monitored carefully. Both too much and too little are dangerous (recommended daily intake: 4 to 6 grams of salt).

Compilers cheat when working with known libraries - they don't need annotations on known functions, much like they don't need the specific implementation of them to know the semantics. This occasionally goes wrong when the compiler assumes any function with a given name must be that function from libc, e.g. the programmer writes a function called `sin`, there's a risk of it being mistaken for the libm function.
No. Your assumptions about how the First Amendment applies to unprotected speech are naive and unfounded, and have no basis in reality. You are never going to prevail on the theory that, e.g., laws prohibiting distribution of child pornography are unconstitutional because the least restrictive means test requires going after producers only.

Your position is also absurd in the context of this discussion, because if immunity for distributors is constitutionally required, then Section 230 is irrelevant, and its repeal would have no effect.

Lastly, my comment was about the causal connection between liability and incentives, so even if your comment contained some cogent argument about the constitutionality of liability here (it doesn't), it would still be completely irrelevant.

I am biased towards degree holders for programming and other tech roles. It’s not a requirement or some magic talisman of “hire immediately”, but all else equal, I’ll prefer it and, all else equal, I will use it to discriminate (in the “distinguish” or “tell one thing from another” sense).

> Now explain how having completed a degree is a "relevant dimension", unlike height, age, etc.

As a population, I believe that college graduates almost certainly score higher on measures of intelligence and conscientiousness than non-grads. I believe that's both true and valid for use in selecting employees for roles where intelligence and conscientiousness are useful qualities.

> Have you considered that if it's possible for a dropout to [perform] equally to a degree holder in every perceivable respect, it raises doubts about the value of a degree?

Of course it's possible for a non-degree holder to outperform a degree holder, or for a Mech E or English major to outperform a Comp Sci grad. That doesn’t mean I think a Comp Sci degree has no relevance or value to an SWE job.

You seem to be imagining some boogeyman where “has degree” is treated as the high-order bit rather than what I’ve been consistently saying (and what I think is relevant to the article under discussion): that it’s closer to a tie-breaker (or low-order bit) and a sensible one in many regards.

If someone out-interviews another for a role and clears the bar, you hire the out-performer. When you otherwise can’t tell which candidate is stronger and get down to the area where coin flips become a sensible selection mechanism, I think it's wise to choose the degree holder over using the coin. Other people might rely on height or appearance; I can't control what they do.

Can you think of another example of a country that did better by following the standard neoliberal washington consensus advice from the 70s/80s/90s?

Chile and Russia are two examples that I can think of that followed western proscriptions at one point (70s/80s and 90s) but it didn't exactly work out well for either of them.

It's interesting seeing a lot of people from tech culture recently freaking out over birth rates, led by characters like Elon Musk. Yet at the same time they insist on perpetuating an economy that is structurally hostile to reproduction, especially among high achievers (and not just women). They're complaining about a social phenomenon they're driving.

If the economy is a contest to time compress things as much as possible and demand as many working hours from everyone as possible, things like raising children get sacrificed.

This is the simplest explanation for the extraordinarily low birth rates in some countries like South Korea that have normalized insanely demanding work cultures.

I think this is at least part of the explanation. Market consolidation via mergers and acquisitions is definitely still happening - in some industries more than others - but it perhaps doesn't receive the same level of reporting as it used to. Maybe because it's become normalised, or because the narrative around monopolies seemed to shift for the better past of this century.

Matt Stoller has a very good blog about monopolies and consolidation: https://www.thebignewsletter.com/

To take one of the most recent articles:

> In October of 2023, Exxon, one of the biggest integrated oil firms, announced it would buy Pioneer Natural Resources for $59 billion, which was quickly followed by tie-ups between Chevron and Hess ($53 billion), Occidental Petroleum and CrownRock ($12 billion), Diamondback and Endeavor ($50 billion), and Chesapeake-Southwest ($7.4 billion). Other notable deals included Exxon-Denbury ($6B), Ovintiv - Black Swan, PetroLegacy, Piedra Resources ($4B), Permian Resources-Earthstone ($4.5 billion), and Civitas buying $7 billion of assets in the Permian. That’s a little less than $200 billion in mergers.

If it’s easy/cheap to build 1-2 TB RAM systems, why are there so few I can rent from AWS?

I settled for 768GB when I tried a few months ago and it wasn’t cheap. They did have like one HANA class system that was multi-TB at even crazier prices but I was kind of disappointed when I went to do something like you suggest. It was also impossible to get a lot of RAM without overpaying for a lot of cores I didn’t need and couldn’t use.

I don’t disagree with your point about the optimization benefits of just caching data but actually getting a cache optimized system is seemingly another thing entirely. My perception is that it’s been hard to get >768 GB systems for a bunch of years now. But I don’t follow this space closely,

How much are you going to print?

If you print "just the program" (i.e. no dependencies), it will spoil very quickly.

If you print both the program and dependencies, it will live a little longer.

If you print dependencies and the source of the interpreter, it will live even longer.

If you print the interpreter and its dependencies -- even longer.

As you can see, the general problem with languages like Python is extreme reliance on external components. Essentially, Python programmers don't write whole programs, they add a polish on an automobile manufactured by someone else, and then present it as their work... Unsurprisingly, it's hard to ensure one's car's longevity if all they can control is the amount of polish they apply to it.

You are probably right. :-) C is incredibly easy to grok if you know assembler. kicking goalpost a little
I think this is a really interesting direction.

That it can translate C23 to C89 means it has most of the work in place to translate C23 to C23, or C99 to C99 etc. If that is done in a (mostly) reversible fashion - successfully re-encode back to the original, where you `preprocess -> parse -> unparse -> re-preprocess` which is a nuisance but possible, then it opens the door to much more aggressive type systems.

In particular, the input can be C with the ownership annotations, and if they're valid, the output can be C with those annotations dropped to be fed into some other compiler. Or whatever other invariant systems the compiler dev is interested in.

Or the input could be C extended with namespace {} syntax, C++ style lambdas, contract checking - whatever you wish really, and the output can be the extensions desugared into C. Templates (possibly the D style ones) can be implemented as instantiating normal functions from said template.

That the output is C means this is usable in all the pipelines that already work with C.

Good stuff, thanks for posting.
I was coming from Pascal but hardest to grok were not pointers but that everything in C is an expression possibly with side effects. Unlike Pascal statements.
