> But that's not really a great life

Most people on this planet would figuratively kill for that life. It's a crushing existence trying to survive on below $10000/year.
Weirdly does not answer the title question.
If we develop the technology to replace certain jobs, then we should do it -- even if they're our jobs. Who even wants a career that only exists due to special interest lobbying to protect it from disruption?
The obvious difference, though, is that you knowingly use all of these tools; you get to choose whether and how you use them. AI, like the weapons you point out, can invade your life without you knowing it even exists.

> I have a rich and complex inner life.

You don't know that LLMs lack such a rich and complex inner life while they're running.

> but computer people in particular are way, way too credulous of this stuff and ignorant of what the messy, malfunctioning wetware in their head is actually doing.

Everything you mentioned is completely irrelevant to the argument, which is based on well known physical principles. Due to the Bekenstein Bound, I already know that you and your "rich and complex inner life" can be fully captured by a finite state automaton. Your protests that you are not a stochastic parrot based on hand-waving about your subjective experience, or vague assessments of how much processing is happening in a messy biological brain that has plenty of redundancies are simply not compelling.

The fact is, we lack mechanistic models for any folk psychology concepts like "pain", "desires", "agency" and "sense of self", and so any claims that LLMs lack such things is conjecture at best. What I do know is that there's an impressively long history of wrong people who thought humans were special.
> Whatever the good intentions of EU lawmakers, they seem inept at technical legislation

I don't think that's a specialization of EU lawmakers, particularly. A far as I can recall, laemakers started thinking about internet regulation around the turn of the millenium, and I didn't welcome the prospect; I assumed that regulation would favour state intelligence and police agencies, and would be drafted by adtech lobbyists. Why? Because I didn't think the civil servants who are supposed to draft these laws had the requisite competence.
That isn't helpful though, we need to understand some ideas of economics to make good decisions for innovation and maximising human potential.

Read "Why Nations Fail" for example - all nations are struggling with different parts of that: entrenched interests pushing for over-regulation to stop competition in the EU, NIMBY interests through-out the West blocking housing investments and free trade / movement in the housing market (planning permission, fees, rent controls, etc.), conservative landowners / aristocrats deliberately keeping their population poor and controlled whilst they live in luxury in developing countries.
CICO is fundamentally true, but the point is that "calories-out" depends on so many factors (including "calories-in") that it becomes meaningless.

Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related "unease"

I full on don't understand why we're building this stuff, whether it's autonomous driving to put truckers out of work, AI teaching assistants to put teachers/tutors/professors out of work, coding assistants to put programmers out of work, AI article writers to put journalists out of work, AI image generators to put artists out of work, AI video generators to put the film industry on ice, AI accountants, marketers, ad nauseum. Is the idea "well sure we'll put 90% of people out of work, but the very-well-known-to-be-well-functioning-government will do... something to fix it, something that definitely isn't tax away the millions I earned putting everyone else out of work to support everyone I put out of work"?

This is a total reshaping of society at worst, and a huge transfer of wealth with almost no steps at best. How does anyone working on this justify causing unemployment on a mass scale while collecting a huge check? Is it just "progress gonna progress?" Do you really believe that justifies all the consequences? Is it, "if not me/us then someone else (worse)"? Then why aren't you giving control of these tools to the workers? Why are you profiting so handsomely?

This is nuts. Normally I don't go full communist rant, but a few hundred people (presumably some of whom read HN) are about to destroy our society without asking a single one of us, and with absolutely no regard for the consequences.
Riemann surfaces are algebraic, but their moduli can mean two different things:

a) the (algebraic) moduli space of complex Riemann surfaces of a fixed genus (number of donut holes). This is an object in the realm of algebraic geometry in that it is possible to embed it into complex projective space, using for instance theta functions.

b) the moduli of complex structures on a fixed topological surface of genus g: this is Teichmuller space, which as far as we can tell only an object in differential geometry. However, Eskin, Mirzakhani, Filip and others have discovered that various subspaces of this non-algebraic space are 'naturally' algebraic (or more precisely quasi- projective). This is the surprising part.

> ask any competent engineer about the sort of control inputs which are needed to maintain smooth-ish operation of a half-decent system

The Taylor Rule system of inflation control actually works extremely well. Being a system with one input and one output variable, classical control theory can be easily applied. But - very importantly - this kind of control system is not immune to external shocks (someone trying to push over your inverted pendulum), has a huge phase lag (months to years), and also does not take into account other side effects (unemployment!). Which is why the Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered a worldwide transient (impulse response) inflation.

Author here. Thanks for submitting my article on hackernews. I'll do my best to answer any question.
Cosmic microwave background fluctuations are actually some of the strongest, most precisely measured evidence we have today for DM. The CMB was measured with incredibly high resolution thanks to the Planck satellite [1], and when you look at the distribution of angular sizes of the density fluctuations, you get a very peculiar plot [2]. Through some rather complicated math, the position and height of the peaks in this plot directly correspond (among other things) to "normal" matter that interacts electromagnetically and "dark matter" which does not interact electromagnetically. Since at the time of the CMB the whole universe was still very hot and therefore ionized, the data tells us there was a large amount of matter that only interacted gravitationally, but not electromagnetically. Ex post facto, the amount of "dark" matter calculated this way directly corresponds to the amount you would need to also explain galaxy rotation curves and gravitational lensing observations in today's universe.

A site can serve ads without tracking (and the banner) - the ads just couldn't be targeted at individuals. Instead they'd have to guess what ad was appropriate ("Rolling Stone" could serve everybody ads for Taylor Swift's latest album without a banner, etc).
Should we worry about trillionaires?
It is compressed, yes, but at higher bitrates it is actually usable for modems/faxes, you're limited to low baud rates anyway due to jitter and sample intervals. But really the benefit is 16k sampling rate instead of 8, I'm not saying it's great but it's the best we've got.

It would be possible to mask this with a relatively simple FXS device to hide all of this and pretend it's a modem while packetising the actual data, but I guess the demand is almost zero so why bother.

I've been looking for a solution for many years to retain dialin services without having racks full of modems and trunks that are rapidly going out of fashion and at some point will not be available except via IP (and now we have the same problem at both ends), but they just don't exist.
I don't accept the idea that there is really a problem between quantum mechanics and gravity. When it comes to making calculations, string theory works, loop quantum gravity works, and numerous other theories work. Had Steven Hawking been able-bodied we might even have been spared that whole ridiculous thing over the information loss "paradox".

The difficulties of quantum gravity today are mainly experimental and not theoretical.

faithful die with their beliefs, scientists let their beliefs die

its a pretty easy rubric to tell what you're currently doing on any topic

ask yourself what information would alter your belief, is reproducibility a factor in your belief at all, does your belief conveniently exempt itself from reproducibility in some way, such as a reward for maintaining your belief ... perhaps after you die?
Another point of view would be that those with power and wealth only listen to experts who tell them what they want to hear. If I’m already convinced A is good I can just ignore experts saying otherwise, then justify doing A because my experts said so.

All of this to say, the dynamics goes both ways.
That's interesting, I've never heard of Milton Friedman's thermostat, but there is a procedure called "The test for the controlled variable" intended to find if a system is controlling one variable or another, invented by W.T. Powers sometime in the fifties, I think. You make a hypothesis about what is the controlled variable, then you apply a disturbance. If the variable stays relatively undisturbed, the correlation between the disturbance and the controlled variable will be nearly zero.
Good job!

Some of this is modeled over expected life-time / usage. In general, things such as electro migration, self-heating, bit-cell degradation, etc. are modeled either for 3y, 5y or 10y, depending on CPU, skew, and target market. Now, whether the process corner(s), voltage, frequency that was picked to perform this analysis is a good reflection of how the CPU is being actually used/pushed, is a different matter.
Yes that’s definitely happening here /s
Tried out the instructions from the article on a tiny Bevy project, and compared it to a "normal" build:

> cargo build --release 23.93s user 22.85s system 66% cpu 1:09.88 total

> cargo +nightly build -Zcodegen-backend 23.52s user 21.98s system 68% cpu 1:06.86 total

Seems just marginally faster than a normal release build. Wonder if there is something particular with Bevy that makes this so? The author of the article mentions 40% difference in build speed, but I'm not seeing anything near that.

Edit: just realized I'm caching my release builds with sccache and a local NAS, hence the release builds being as fast as Cranelift+debug builds. Trying it again with just debug builds and without any caching:

> cargo +nightly build 1997.35s user 200.38s system 1878% cpu 1:57.02 total

> cargo +nightly build -Zcodegen-backend 280.96s user 73.06s system 657% cpu 53.850 total

Definitely an improvement once I realized what I did wrong, about half the time spent compiling now :) Neat!
It's not supposed to make sense, it's supposed to show the absurd position of the post I'm replying to. The less it makes sense, the better.

And I only picked Germany, because it's one of the few EU countries where stuff like that is rigorously enforced. In the rest of the EU, everything unrelated to the common market and/or getting money from the EU is at best haphazardly enforced.

TLDR: I’ve been on Adderall over ten years and no known long term problems attributable to my meds. You should share your concerns with a/multiple doctor(s).

I’m not the parent but since no one answered: I was diagnosed in early childhood but only started meds around 21 years old (the first time I took Adderall was the first time I wrote an outline for a paper) and I’ve been on it nearly continuously for 13 years now, almost at the maximum dose. So far, no side effects at all of long-term use other than a learned behavior of building anxiety and stress every month around the time of getting my perception due to the war on drug style of regulation. I have only rarely had short term side effects when only taking extended release Adderall.

On your concern generally, I’m not a doctor but I’m not sure long-term effects should be a big concern without some known contraindication. To my recollection, none but my current doctor have given much discussion to long term effects of Adderall, if at all. My current doctor (who I believe had finished residency shortly before I started seeing him) was concerned about long term (heart) effects and I asked him for some links to info/studies. He sent me a webmd link to an article discussing a paper examining cardiac events in Canadian patients over 65 recently starting Adderall, which found no increased risk of cardiac events vs those not starting/taking Adderall. I don’t think there were conflicts of interest declared but it seemed like some authors had some association with the Shire pharmaceutical company. For context I’m mid 30’s, American, and have been taking Adderall as a long-term patient so I was confused about why he would send that but he didn’t expand on it when pressed. Research I did on my own only led me to studies showing that people with ADHD are twice as likely to of die in an accident as non-adhd counterparts, which I had never heard from any doctor and I believe is the leading cause of death in my age group.

As another note, my uncle was prescribed Concerta for an off-label use and quickly started having suicidal thoughts and stopped using it. Work with a physician who feels like a good match with you so you can be candid with them.
Entirely on the contrary. Dark matter is the label given to a set of anomalous observations. The entire problem is that we called it “dark matter” when we should have called it “missing mass”, because that’s what it is. There would be no controversy with the latter name.

> [I] am even skeptical of the claim..that globalization was responsible for the vast reduction in global poverty.. I also no longer defend the idea that the harm done to working Americans by globalization was a reasonable price to pay for global poverty reduction

But that "harm" was coming regardless. The rest of the world had rebuilt after WW2 and is going to compete.

Now those working Americans can enjoy cheaper goods from globalisation and everyone becomes richer.

Protectionism just keeps everyone poorer in the long run. It only makes sense when you need to build or maintain specific local industry due to geopolitical concerns or to improve the general level of education and productivity - like in China in building their own Tech industry.
> Network is steady and more bulletproof than wireless on Linux.

I gotta disagree hard here. Macs have by far the most obnoxious and temperamental WiFi stack I've ever experienced. Constant disconnects, have to turn it off and on to get it to bother looking for APs again. All of them constantly trigger bad experience scores in UniFi.

Absolutely subpar compared to any of my Linux devices, even the raspberry pi jammed inside a metal box.
> A cheap, slow, dirty solution today tends to win over a expensive, quick, elegant one next year.

I disagree with this platitude, one reason being the sheer scale of the hidden infrastructure we rely on. Just looking databases alone (Postgres, SQLite, Redis etc.) shows us that reliable and performant solutions dominate over others. Many other examples in other fields like operating system, protocol implementations, cryptography.

It might be that you disagree on the basis of what you see in day-to-day B2B and B2C business cases where just solving the problem gets you paid, but then your statements should reflect that too.
Wow, I'm surprised that even on HN people are missing the fundamental issue here: MS is injecting their ads into a competitor's products.

You can hate Google nagging you all you want, but they are doing it on their own properties. There is a cost/benefit calculation for them.

But if you inject ads into someone else's space and no one seems to care (or just blames Google) then the cost/benefit calculation changes completely and this could get quite ugly.
Noted. I've removed the sarcasm.
I get a similar thing teaching a coding club.

I'm not sure how the machines are set up, as I have an aversion to Windows from my time as an NT 'certified professional', but at least one machine will spend 10 minutes 'updating' during any class.

No doubt you can turn this off or set update time windows or whatever, but I'm not the admin for these machines. At least the updates generally work. For my kids' machines at home, almost anytime they boot windows, it will do an update, and a good percentage of the time, the update will fail, and brick the machine, requiring a complete re-install.
> And when you understand how Java does math and how COBOL does the same math, you begin to understand why it’s so difficult for many industries to move away from their legacy

Java does math the same way as COBOL does math, if you use java.math.BigInteger, java.math.BigDecimal, javax.money, etc

Unlike (say) C++ or C#, Java doesn't have operator overloading, so BigInteger/BigDecimal/etc don't let you use ordinary operators such as + or *, instead you have to use method calls such as add() and multiply()

But, that's not really that verbose compared to Cobol's "ADD ONE TO X GIVING X", etc.

And if you really want + and * with BigInteger/BigDecimal/etc, you can use a JVM language which has operator overloading, such as Kotlin or Java
Hard to tell if it's exactly the same, but audio plugin and DAW manufacturers warning people to upgrade to the latest macOS version because of incompatibilities is a common sight, it happens with every major macOS version at the very least. Sometimes also with minor versions, like in this case.

Software trying to update when it is started is such a common pattern, despite almost always going against user intent. When I start software, that's because I want to use it. It's pretty high on the list of times I don't want it to become temporarily unusable while it updates itself.

Doing the same with vehicle firmware is a sad but predictable state of things.
