I'm not really sure that's a useful way of putting it. There are a set of observations which don't match expectations, one idea which explains most of them is that there is some matter present that we can't directly observe (and then there's a wide variety of more specific ideas of what the nature of this matter may be, some of which fit observations better than others). That's in contrast to the idea that our theory of gravity may be incorrect, which also explains some of the observations (including ones which dark matter does not), but less of them overall, and there's a wide variety of specific ideas of how we might modify gravity to fit the observations (and generally I think the difficulty is you can come up with modifications that explain one obversation well but it's hard to explain a lot of them at once).

DM and MOND are referring to different ideas of matching the anomolous observations, not the observations themselves. And each is really a family of different theories, as opposed to one singular theory each.
I suspect it is going to end up being Google's downfall, or at least, be part of it.

They simply don't know humans. Their repeated failures at building social networks is good enough evidence. They always try to have the human out of the loop, which, to be fair, worked for them in the early days, as their search engine was better than those that relied on human-made directories. But now it is becoming ridiculous. It is a company of bots, for bots. And when they need humans for some reason, they take away most of the value they can add with rigid frameworks, basically treating them like bots. They pay hundreds of thousands not for people who are competent and trustworthy to provide the best service, but instead, to people who write bots to provide mediocre service.

I believe that at some point, a startup who understand humans will eat them up, bit by bit, by feeding on dissatisfied customers who don't want to deal with stupid bots.

> Also, there's a lot more you can do in a signal handler than just set a flag: you can longjmp or even make calls to regular functions.

... As long as the called functions are fully async-signal-safe/reentrant. It used to be even more sensitive, in that not all register state was correctly saved/restored on Linux.

(On the fabled plan9, where signals are replaced with arbitrary-text "notes", the issue is even bigger as floating point registers are not saved/restored)

> We should be enhancing POSIX signals to make them easier to share, not casting aspersions on them.

That's fair, but they have already been fixed with signalfd, which more modern processes use to deal with the few POSIX-isms that require it, but many of the original uses have been superseded.

E.g., few modern applications use `timer_create` and SIGALRM, as they can instead use timerfd or poll with strategic timeout (although usually abstracted away by their eventloop). SIGBUS is a POSIX-way to deal with mmap truncation, but sealed memfds can be used to avoid the issue altogether. SIGUSR1/2 can be replaced by any IPC mechanism to give much more flexible controls than a single "reload"/"toggle" signal.

(The POSIX ways can still be useful in certain simpler programs of course.)
Just going to say, I'm blown away by how simple this JIT is though. Really quite a beautiful JIT approach.
No, Apple doesn't charge for the existence of CarPlay in a particular car. The manufacturers used to for a while, probably to reclaim their perceived implementation costs and because the industry has worked that way for a long time, but that's not as common anymore, most (besides certain manufacturers) ship it as a default now.
> The better way is a long public developer release cycle. The folks doing weirdness like blocking things from working (plug-in DRM) should have released updates long before this.

I use beta cycles on MacOS and 14.4 was released to devs in early February, so they've had 1-2 months roughly to detect and address this. And contact Apple if there was a major issue (audio professionals are a big business for Apple).

Everything I've seen about iLok...and plenty of other older VST/music companies... have a strong gleen of software teams that are either budget-tier or extremely behind the times. The UIs are the worst, often 10yrs out of date. I suspect partially because they do lazy cross-platform stuff.
Tired light is well debunked.

Tired light would affect the energy of photons, but not their density. Blackbody radiation at a given temperature not only has a specific spectrum, but also a specific energy density. A putative tired light effect would not preserve the latter matching the spectrum.

Note that the cosmic background radiation we see today is blackbody radiation (including its energy density) to very high precision.

There's some truth to this. A minimum wage is a blunt instrument that can end up causing more harm than good. If the goal is to raise wages, I think there's better ways of doing it. Maybe with some kind of tax code reform.
That's a very kind question, thanks! In terms of what I get in the end, it doesn't really matter where you buy it (e.g., Amazon, local bookstore, whatever), although I'd love it if you supported your local bookstore -- they need help! Format matters a bit more in terms of royalty percentage (I get a higher percentage on ebooks)but ebooks also are priced lower, so the net to me between paperback and ebook is not much different.
The poor people in my country squat when they're resting. I was taught early on as a kid that I shouldn't sit like that because that's what "poor people do".

I really regret listening to that piece of advice. As I observe my baby daughter, I realize how natural that squatting position is, and how much knee and hip mobility we really have.
I view the issue as more of a poor UX choice than anything else. Firebase's interface consists entirely of user-friendly sliders and toggles EXCEPT for the security rules, which is just a flimsy config file. I can understand why newer devs might avoid editing the rules as much as possible and set the bare minimum required to make warnings go away, regardless of whether they're actually secure or not.
There should be a more graphical and user-friendly way to set security rules, and devs should be REQUIRED to recheck and confirm them before any other changes can be applied.

The present is already gone when I think about it. The future will come and be gone at the same time.

All that matters is the past: you can only try to build the past that you want to have. You can't change the physical past and sometimes the past you have didn't depend on you. But you can build a better past, and you can change how you perceived the past.
The law did not mandate a $15 and hour wage. It set specific per mile cost requirements, which could easily be well over $15 per hour.

Ride share driver's aren't slaves. They chose to drive for ride share companies above the other options. If it was a bad deal then Uber and Lyft would be having trouble finding drivers. How is strictly fewer options a good thing?
Those are tools humans use to created output directly to speed up a process. The equivalent argument for AI would be if the typewriter wrote you a novel based on what you asked it to write, and then everyone else's typewriter might create the same/similar novel if it's averaging all of the same human data input. This leads to a cultural inbreeding of sorts since the data that went into it was curated to begin with.

The real defining thing to remember is that humans don't need AI, but AI needs human data.

This is part of a trend. Sanctions are easy to get around. The Russian war machine runs on Western parts, much as it did in th WWII.

More recently, Starlinks started to be used by Russian troops in the occupied territories.

But the difference between a US chip being used in Russian devices, and a Starlink terminal or satellite image archive being bought by Russians, is that the latter are digital services where it is relatively easy to identify the user, and which can be turned off any time!
You don’t have to completely replace people with machines to destroy jobs. It suffices if you make people more effective so that fewer employees are needed.

I don't really think that thinking of LLMs and related technologies as "Artificial Humans" is the right way to think about how they're going to be integrated into workflows. What is going to happen is that people are going to be adopt these tools to solve particular tasks that are annoying or tedious for developers to do, in a way similar to the way tools like Ansible and Chef replaced the task of logging into ssh servers manually to install stuff, and aws replaced 'sending a guy out to the data center to setup a server' for many companies.

And it's going to be done piecemeal, not all-at-once. Someone will figure out a way to get an AI to do _one_ thing faster and cheaper than a human and sell _that_. Maybe it's automatic test generation, maybe it's automatically remediating alerts, maybe it's code reviews. The scope of work of what a software developer does will be reduced until it's reduced to two categories:

1) Those tasks that it is still currently only possible for a human to do.
2) Those tasks which are easier and cheaper for a human to do.

You don't even really need to think about LLMs as AIs or conscious or whether they pass the turing test or not, it's just like every other form of automation we've already developed. There are vast swathes of work that software developers and IT people did a few decades ago that almost nobody does any more because of various forms of automation. None of that has reduced the overall amount of jobs for software developers because there isn't a limited amount of software development to do. If you make software development less expensive and easier than people will apply it to more tasks, and software developers will become _more_ valuable and not _less_.
> cap prices

> Also you do not want to give out so many medallions that owners cannot possibly make a living

Do you really think that some government agency can come up with the correct price and license cap using Excel magic? Of course not, most likely this will just lead to corruption and an inferior service.

Let the free market find the price. If it's not possible to make a living people won't drive. Where I live taxis usually charge whatever Uber is showing.
I'd prefer to solve problems individually and treat economics as just that. If there are other problems in other areas of society they can be addressed, but I'm not interested in creating a study of economics that doesn't focus on the principles.

Good. There no reason to rewrite undergrad calculus books every semester besides money grabbing. The math hasn't changed in 100 years and there shouldn't be an incentive to write an updated version of the book for the 50th time.
Naive thought since I'm not familiar with the situation, but since Uber/Lyft could simply raise rates it seems to me this is political posturing on their part to see if they can force the city to back down.

What am I missing here?

I would regard it as a duty of government to ensure that using the internet is safe and respects user privacy, but not to ensure that the internet has a clean UI. To that extent, I'd argue that the EU is achieving good outcomes. Ensuring a clean UI and smooth user experience is one of those things that should manifest as a result of market economics, but does not manifest because markets don't really work that way.
I used Windows 10 for the first time in years this weekend to play games

While playing, Windows would switch from the game to a stupid "Restart your computer now or in 1 hour?" modal - with no option to get it to permanently go away. And it kept popping up every hour. Infuriating.

What is exploitation? Working a service job for minimum wage is not what I'd call a good job, but it's not exploitation as long as the employer did not cheat employees out of wages, put them at undisclosed risk, or some other dishonest practice. Exploitation is more than just "I think the wage is too low".

These Uber and Lyft drivers picked this job out of all their options. They arrived at the conclusion that it was the best job that they could get out of all their options. Why do you think you know better than they do?

"How could a UX team possibly conclude that the precise moment a user shows unambiguous intent to use your product, is the best time to get in their way?"

Well, the most natural answer is that it's not a UX team. It's the software engineers observing that since our program isn't running all the time, this is the moment we have to check for things.

And roll around that design issue a few more times and that's why your computer is running upwards of dozens bespoke programs that do nothing but scan for updates periodically and consume surprisingly large amounts of resources to do it since apparently most programmers can't write a program to try a network request every couple of days to consume anything less than a gig of RAM and 25%+ continuous CPU.
Eh, I think people have the wrong take-away from all of this.

Imagine if the banner said "This website is known to the state of California to cause cancer". Would you keep visiting the site?

Like if every time you went the bar, the bouncer asked "Hey, can I punch you in the face?". Would you keep going to that bar?

As annoying as the banners are, they actually aren't annoying enough to change mass-behavior.

I use the gmail app on my iphone, and almost every time I open a web link, Google nags me to install Chrome.

If in Google's product they can nag me every time I ask them to open a competitor's product, why shouldn't Microsoft's product nag me every time I ask them to open a competitor's product?

They're both shit from my perspective as a user, of course. But Microsoft is just using the Google playbook here.
If any of those theories worked, there indeed wouldn't be an issue. But none of them fully reconcile the massive discrepancies in predictions without adding glaring discrepancies of their own.

If by "the difficulties of quantum gravity today are mainly experimental" you mean that if we could go and study the behavior of quantum mechanics near the event horizon of a black hole we might have solved the problem already, you'd be right, but that's kind of tautological.

On the Fabrication front, domestic fabrication capacity by Chinese firms like SMIC is comparable to Intel in the late 2000s-mid 2010s (aka good enough for most usecases - an Nvidia Maxwell GPU or Intel Sandy Bridge CPU can hypothetically be fabricated using purely Chinese tooling).

The Chinese government did a massive subsidy dump like India is doing today in the late 2000s to try and build this kind of capacity.

Design is not there yet though (but changing rapidly), as EDAs are hard and margins low, so that entire industry got outsourced to India in the 1990s.

> world's most populated country has some capability in sophisticated industries

India does very well in High Precision High Margins sectors such as Pharmaceuticals or purely R&D focused functions like Chip Design or Software Development.

High Precision Low Margins manufacturing was always a shitshow in India due to regulations - you didn't need to deal with headaches like paying of local or state Labor Commissions for breaking labor laws in China in the 1990s or 2000s, as you can work directly with the local CCP apparatus to smooth the way

You also cannot "view" neutrinos, yet no one doubts their existence.

By the way, they too have been postulated because collision experiments were showing some missing kinetic energy and momentum. People said "maybe there is a new particle that does not interact electromagnetically carrying away the energy", and they turned out to be correct. It's a very fruitful way of thinking. Your perceived strangeness goes away as soon as you understand all the evidence, in particular BAO and lensing, as mentioned above.
The changes in Cranelift since 2020 have been quite significant so I would not put any trust in those benchmarks.
Automatic updates are terrible and the first thing I do when I get a new device or reinstall an OS is try to figure out how to disable them. Sadly, I am losing this battle and more and more stuff insists on updating behind my back, without me commanding them to update. This should be unacceptable. When I buy something I should be in full control of what it’s doing, not the manufacturer. I dont care if the software is vulnerable to CVE-1234567 or if there are lots of great bug fixes or if the manufacturer simply really really really wants me to see the yet-another big UI update it’s done. Updates should be done when I say they are done (or not), on my schedule, and only after I know what the update changes.

I don’t want to hear the manufacturer’s excuses. I know “most people” are clueless and leave security problems unpatched. “Most people” have also gotten accustomed to being abused by their software products that are out of their control. I’m not “most people” and I won’t tolerate being treated like this by device manufacturers. The product gets returned if I have no control over what it does.
