"people are naturally at peace"

That's blatantly incorrect - mainly because of the use of the world "people."

While the vast majority of humanity is peaceful, a substantial minority of people are naturally inclined towards violence. That element exists in every population, and the exact percentage seems to change depending on the culture, area, etc.

One goal of civilization is to suppress and/or redirect those people's behaviors. In fact, you could probably argue that civilization is the continuing attempt to handle that segment of humanity. If you look at "the old days" you'd see a surprising amount of low-level violence directed towards pretty much everyone.

Occasionally that segment of the population takes over and you get a warrior culture.

Occasionally that segment takes over and you have a riot/uprising/rebellion.

Normally civilizations try to control them via police, or conflict, or sports. One problem in civilization is balancing the need for those people without having those people take over (a major continuing problem what used to be called the Third World).

This is an interesting question.

Can any contemporary “ai” solution be considered a solved problem?

A lot of these neural net architecture are designed first and foremost as approximation engines without any guarantees the provided approximation is even any good.

This can be useful, but especially in a medical sense, also insufficient or even dangerous.

This means that, for example, a leak of one tonne of methane is equivalent to emitting 82.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide." (quoted from wikipedia)

I’m an anarcho-capitalist, and agree that “extreme” is a fair way to describe the perspective.
I grew up in a country that defines itself as opposition to another (“the enemy”, “the imperialism”), and everything else, including the lack of everything and the long blackouts, goes by undiscussed. Our Literature professor was a bright light in that world. The Iliad was the first book we read that was about what was it like to be a person in a distant time and a distant land. It was an escape and a return journey to our Mediterranean roots. Back then, I was as much of an avid reader as I’m now, but I couldn’t have made any tails of the Iliad without the help of our teacher. May his bright soul live forever in his students.

First, I agree with your overall point, that this post illustrates the opposite of what it claims.

However, the discrepancy can be due to cache misses (and likely is, in part). One thing people get wrong about caches is looking at some smallish data set and thinking, “oh that fits in cache.”

However, cache is divided into small 64-byte chunks (“lines”). And there are typically three levels of cache, each using lines. Hardware may detect sequential access and start pulling in next lines for you in advance, but it depends a lot on access patterns.

With the original loop, the access patterns are such that there’s no guarantee the next bit of data will be in memory. It’s proceeding sequentially, perhaps, but through several different areas of memory. I’d love to instrument the code to compare dcache miss rates, and L1 vs L2 vs L3, though not enough to deal with building zed myself. My guess is that the before version has a worse hit rate than the after version.

What’s more, there’s also the instruction cache. The original version pulls a lot of code into that loop. My guess is that the icache hit rate is also worse in the original. That’s deadly — the CPU does nothing. And it might stall enough that the OS context switches (after all, the times reported in the blog post are probably wall clock time; reducing idle enough so that the OS doesn’t context switch goes a long ways towards explaining a 250X speed up).

Finally, with the batched loops, there’s not that much code in each one and they’re classic for-loops. The compiler can apply unrolling; even if it doesn’t, the CPU reorder buffer/dispatcher basically will. My bet is that the after version has a significantly higher instructions per cycle (IPC) score, ie better instruction-level parallelism.

I’m agnostic about your conclusion, that the main data structures in place in zed doom it to similar performance problems. Not sure? It may have reasonable data structures. But as you point out with the grep comparison, the competition when it comes to these operations are tools and techniques that have been honed to an unreasonable degree over decades, to the point where their codebases and CPU architectures have co-evolved. It’s a steep hill to climb.

> However, the idea is that often a lot of the probability mass - an amount that is not small - will be concentrated around the maximum likelihood estimate, and so that's why it makes a good estimate, and worth using.

This may be true for low dimensions but doesn’t generalise to high dimensions. Consider a 100-dimensional standard normal distribution for example. The MLE will still be at the origin but most of the mass will live in a thin shell of distance roughly 7 units from the origin.

Well for your use case of distributing your own music, Bitmagnet wouldn't be necessary.

What a DHT crawler like Bitmagnet does is the following:

1. Take a few initial "bootstrap" torrents and ping them to see which IP addresses are seeding that file
2. Ping those IP addresses and ask what other files/torrents they're seeding
3. Ping those torrents to see which IP addresses are seeding that torrent

Rinse repeat.

So to distribute your music to fans, you'd just want to put magnet links to your music on your site.

> As in, i want my alarm to go off at 4pm everyday regardless of whether i am traveling.

I think this may be the exception that proves the rule. Sure, this is a valid, if specialized, semantic use case. But you only barely need a LocalDateTime type for this. If you stick that 4pm into a local database, you want to make sure that everything, including the database, knows you’re storing hours, minutes, and seconds relative to an unspecified “local time”.

So IMO this is more of an UnspecifiedZoneTime than a LocalDateTime. (Also, it has no date portion.) It makes no sense to compare it to a UTC or other date+time.
> A house that is uninhabitable in winter is not fit for purpose

Is not an opinion that needs expert credentials.
First of all, it's not 10%, it's closer to 30% [1].

Estimates put 2022 App Store profits at ~$60B [2], 30% of $60B is $18B. Are you arguing that losing a portion of $18B doesn't matter?

$2B of those profits alone is more than any company I've worked for makes in revenue. It's also a lot of money for any company to be losing. If you're the type of business leader who's cavalier about a billion here or there, more power to you I guess.

> And Amazon also takes a 30% cut…

For the first $1MM it takes 20% (Apple offers 15%) but it offers 10% back in AWS credits, it's hoping the AWS credits are attractive.

I think the assertion is correct:

IANAL:

GDPR does not require any website/webapp by default to show a popup.
What GDPR requires is consent for tracking PII.

If you or anyone run a website and dont track/store/process any PII tracking information without user consent you dont need the popup.

Here is an example:
Do not put any GA or tracking analytics that tracks PII on your web app and you can still have signups and login if you gave a good terms of use and you require consent for the user when they signup. You can even use cookies in the login/signup flow but use them only for making the auth work and not for tracking.

PS: If you do signups please read the GDPR and offer to the user the option to manage their consent for accepting to provide data when they created their account: for example (IANAL) the user should be able to delete their account, download their data, retract the consent and have their account with all the info provided destroyed. You can keep data for legal reason for the minimum required period.

Plug bomb, but pgroll looks pretty good. I do a lot of copy/renames to update fields on very large tables with a lot of indexes, if it could automate those scripts including dependencies I would use it for big bespoke migrations in a heartbeat.

On the smaller side, I can see this being useful to avoid migration bugs, but being its own migration tool isn't a great choice since ecosystem specific migration tools have a lot of useful options and can be used programmatically. I'd make a pgroll plugin for alembic and other common ecosystem specific feature-rich migration tools that hooks into the ddl emission to transform a "dumb" migration into your juiced up migrations. That'd make it an instant use for me.
