I agree that RStudio isn't too awful, but the packaging management and reproducibility situation in R is dire, even compared to Python.

I have to deal with getting code from data scientists into production, and simply getting it to run outside of their mutant local environment can take days. Things are starting to get a bit better with packrat initially and now renv/pak/rig and the like, but most DS haven't heard of them, and major breakages between minor library versions are still commonplace, as are undocumeted system library dependencies. Then there is the whole stringsAsFactors nightmare, thankfully slowly on its way out but still around causing occasional catastrophic breakage.

There are lots of nice things about R, but it makes it very easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

Consumer AMD chips to be precise. AMD is mostly focusing on their datacenter chips (MI300X), and I assume the support for AI workloads there is much better. They might even see their consumer chip undermining sales of datacenter chips.

NVIDIA got big because CUDA works on the most crappy notebook GPUs up to their most powerful chips, and AMD should do the same, but focusing their limited number of driver devs on the expensive enterprise hardware makes sense IMHO.

Everything is easy for small n. When you store 20TB on 4x5TB drives, everything can be done. When you have a >5PB of storage on racks, you need at least a copy of that system running hot-standby. That's not cheap in any sense.

I think this is the reason so many in the U.S. are skeptical of/resistant to such plans. Why work your butt off for 10 years to get to a place where you can afford a nice dwelling if you can also wait 10 years, working but not pushing yourself, and someone else will pay for it for you? And then once you have it, there's even less incentive to try to "move up" from there, because there's now a cliff in front of you. You have to make the whole jump in one go, because if you only take incremental steps, you lose eligibility for your subsidies.

American culture doesn't like to think about how much of "success" is down to luck. As often as possible, we want to think it's earned. The idea of trying to make up for some of the luck factor by taking some from those with more and giving it to those with less is almost instinctively repugnant, even if it might lead to higher quality of life for everyone involved.

> I was hoping for some elaboration.

If you mean elaboration on how the expansion of the universe works, I can give that, but as I've said, it's irrelevant to this discussion.

> At least part of the discussion is about gravity being (caused by? understood as?) the curvature of spacetime.

More precisely, the curvature of spacetime around an isolated gravitating body. Which is a very different spacetime geometry from the spacetime geometry of the universe as a whole, which is what cosmologists use to account for the observations that lead us to say that the universe is expanding.

> Why would matter curve spacetime, if not for the accelerated expansion of spacetime

You have it backwards. What you are calling "the accelerated expansion of spacetime" is an effect of spacetime curvature, not a cause of it. Plus, as I said above, that spacetime curvature is the curvature of the universe as a whole, which is very different from the curvature around an isolated gravitating body, that we are discussing here.

> matter resisting acceleration due to inertia?

This has nothing to do with spacetime curvature at all. It would be present even if spacetime were flat.
It's probably somewhat tied to the article at hand, ironically.

E.g. when you see a low-effort "water is wet" article, the primal urge is to leave a low-effort comment and move on with your life. There's almost no benefit to discussing these articles, because the points have already been made, hashed, and re-hashed hundreds of times. In other words, the value add of this article to me is 0.

Except that clearly isn't it, as the weight moves even if there is no 'ground' (say at altitude) in the same predictable fashion, until it collides with something - which merely attempts to arrest it's movement. In fact, in orbit the forces felt are still (quite clearly) there too.

So if anything, gravity wise 'pushing' is not a property of gravity at all. Merely of matter which happens to produce the spacetime distortions which result in gravity. Unless dark matter exists, which would be neat.

Or the moon wouldn't continue to be up there, instead of 'down here'.

And clouds of hydrogen atoms will eventually collect together in a vacuum barring other outside gravitational influences. Which is notably why we even have a star.

And the weight itself also has measurable (albeit extremely tiny) such effects on everything else too.

So how do you model/name/account for that force which causes that to occur? Since it does clearly exist.

Because a rocket doesn't just 'push' either. We can clearly model the chemical and physics behaviors going on there to generate that 'push', and all involve forces which we can account for. None of them meaningfully appear to be gravity.

And gravity also involve forces (spacetime distortions causing very real effects!). Which we can also account for.

So seriously, what are you even talking about?
If we assume that there is a group of people giving a concerted effort to acknowledge women in general, would that not lead to more articles about women being created? And, purely statistically, would not this in turn lead to more articles about women being rejected for being insufficiently notable? There is no need to assume bias in Wikipedia editors, the bias could just as well lie with those people who create the many rejected articles.

Also, one criteria which Wikipedia must, by necessity, use, is “published articles in other media about the subject”. If other media are, in general, biased, this would lead to a dearth of articles in other media, which in turn would lead to Wikipedia rejecting new WP articles.

> My counter-argument to C: (I almost typed C:\> there, sorry) is that money in tech, in the end, still comes from people. Even if your business is using AI to optimise ad targeting, those ads still get paid for because the advertisers expect humans to hand over money at some point to buy products or play games or something.

I think the real risk of C is that the economy changes to something radically different, where everything is capital and labor is (basically) no longer required. The whole B2C economy just withers and dies, and is replaced by an economy centered on elite fantasy fulfillment (e.g. Elon Musks monopolizing resources to build mega-projects for themselves, perhaps with a smallish community of human pets kept as an audience).

There wouldn't be any serfs, because serfs had economic value to the medieval elites. But there may be a population of marginal people scraping by squatting and subsistence farming at the margins, hoping a mega-project doesn't displace them.

You aren't making that point so much as asserting it without evidence. There is no reason to think longer lived humans will contribute to extinction. Perhaps thousand year old scientists and economists will figure out solutions to humanity-threatening issues that would have gone undiscovered and longevity will, therefore, save rather than doom humanity.

Just because you can imagine that, but not really articulate how, longevity might be bad for humanity doesn't mean you've made an argument.

If you have to «always double-check» - it means that you have to do the most important portion of the work yourself, which significantly narrows potential uses to those where you already possess competence of the task and command of the data to judge the results and the use of gpt just saves you some typing. And saving on typing is great, but a significant step down from our collective expectations.

Too much consolidation in media. Local and alternative voices fade. (IMO)
