In your proposed scheme of URL->hash, everyone is expected to pay a big service to host their data, so that their page is accessible to that service's users? Or what? It sounds like you're saying "use IPFS for web hosting" but that's famously slow and unreliable for anything not incredibly popular.

How do you propose a person publishes their data? They get a domain, they create their page, they hash their page, they point that domain at that hash, and then what exactly? They update their content, compute the new hash, and then wait for DNS to propagate the new change?

I'm serious here, I'm trying to work out how what you're suggesting would work for the standard use cases of websites, and I'm trying to work out how if it does work for the standard use cases it solves any of the problems that archive.org has to manage, or any of the features people use archive.org for?

People don't use archive.org to ask "where did this content get published?" (e.g I have a hash of the page content) they say "what was the content at this location+time?". Definitionally they do not have the content, so they do not have the hash. They have the location, but you've just said the location is just the hash of the content. If you're saying the location of the document is the full url, not just the domain (the only part that involves machine addresses), then what is the hash for?

Finally, if the location is based on hash, you don't only break any content that is not 100% static, you break encrypted content, because definitionally encrypted content is not static.

It's not surprising to you or me, but think of someone less technologically proficient. They won't know the difference, and if the AI complies with their request in a convincing way, they may very well believe it.
One very interesting thing about automatic differentiation is that you can think of it as involving a new algebra, similar to the complex numbers, where we adjoin an extra element to the reals to form a plane. This new algebra is called the ring of "dual numbers." The difference is that instead of adding a new element "i" with i² = -1, we add one called "h" with h² = 0!

Every element in the dual numbers is of the form a + bh, and in fact the entire ring can be turned into a totally ordered ring in a very natural way: simply declare h < r for any real r > 0. In essence, we are saying h is an infinitesimal - so small that its square is 0. So we have a non-Archimedean ring with infinitesimals - the smallest such ring extending the real numbers.

Why is this so important? Well, if you have some function f which can be extended to the dual number plane - which many can, similar to the complex plane - we have

f(x+h) = f(x) + f'(x)h

Which is little more than restating the usual definition of the derivative: f'(x) = (f(x+h) - f(x))/h

For instance, suppose we have f(x) = 2x² - 3x + 1, then

f(x+h) = 2(x+h)² - 3(x+h) + 1
= 2(x² + 2xh + h²) - 3(x+h) + 1
= (2x² - 3x + 1) + (4x - 3)h

Where the last step just involves rearranging terms and canceling out the h² = 0 term. Note that the expression for the derivative we get, (4x-3), is correct, and magically computed itself straight from the properties of the algebra.

In short, just like creating i² = -1 revolutionized algebra, setting h² = 0 revolutionizes calculus. Most autodiff packages (such as Pytorch) use something not much more advanced than this, although there are optimizations to speed it up (e.g. reverse mode diff).

I wouldn’t worry about using FastAPI. Not that your point is wrong but the code base isn’t exactly large and it’s entirely open source. If the project goes off road or something you can always continue on your own fork.

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t use FastAPI for this. It’s popular because it’s really good.
I don't think OKRs necessarily need to trickle down. Nor do OKRs embody any methodology. To me, they merely restrict the format of writing out goals.

Any high-level goal becomes an O. Then any measurements of that goal become separate KRs under that O. Simple as that.

Formatting goals this way has its value. A vague goal that cannot be measured with have missing KRs; so this discourages writing vague goals.

I carried wads of cash when I lived in Indonesia, because card acceptance is so unreliable it's easier to just pay by cash.

> it gets richer when you pay interest in excess of its costs of providing you with money.

Apart from the costs of running the bank, any other costs are simply what I would call money laundering (i.e. smoke and mirrors - as I mentioned, we can argue over who exactly receives what proportion of the money, but it doesn't escape the facts that the population is paying interest on trillions and trillions that were created out of thin air by a select few).

> This means interest paid on the loan no longer goes to the bank but to whoever bought the loan.

The key words here are "...whoever bought the loan". So someone has paid the bank money (I assume relatively equal to the outstanding balance of the loan) for money (the loan) that the bank printed effortlessly. This is simply more money laundering.

>2% was a good way for companies to be able to adjust labor costs down if needed (if you don't give someone a raise when inflation is 2%, you're effectively lowering their salary)

This is EXACTLY the issue. The economy is rigged such that in the absence of any positive action, workers' purchasing power goes down over time by default. This obviously isn't a problem for the rich, whose money is stored almost entirely in assets which by definition rise in value with inflation. Meanwhile, everyone else whose income comes primarily from a wage must constantly struggle for more concessions just to earn the same real amount they did last year.

Wait. Islamic terrorists are now saying they did that attack in Russia on "christians".

What about the attack by islamic terrorists in France, in Paris, at the Bataclan: where hundreds of civilians were executed. Was it a coup by the french secret service to stir up public opinion in France?

Or, maybe, can we accept that islamic terrorism is a thing?

> If I never had to create the virtual table, would it be a violation of the spec if I didn’t do it?

Generally: no. Most such specs have a phrase along the lines of “externally observable effect”.

In other words, the compiler can do anything as long as the programmer or external systems can’t tell that anything is different.

Processors do this all the time, reordering instruction execution but then arranging things so that it’s impossible to tell that this occurred.

A lot of British airports emerged out of WWII air bases. I am not sure how they were chosen exactly. But they probably wanted places that were flat, dry and grassy with lots of space. They could have considered proximity to places that needed to be defended or suitability for launching attacks. And they knew that airfields were likely to be bombed.

> Broadly speaking, with AD you can modify the results and the program will spit out the required inputs to get those results.

I assume you're trying to phrase it in a non-technical way for accessibility, but I wonder if that might have lost some precision. What you describe sounds more like (logically) reversible programming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_computing). Differentiability doesn't imply reversibility; for example, the program that takes in an input and returns 1 is as differentiable as they come, but there's nothing that differentiation, automatic or otherwise, can do to tell you an input that will make it return 2.

> Once the central bank said that inflation would be 2%

This article is confusing. It makes it sound like NZ set a target of 2% inflation, when in actuality they set a target range of 0-2%, so 2% was the ceiling not the target.

Sure. I have worked on JVMs before, but not server side, and I never had to touch anything sold by IBM.

> Arguably, CGI servers for php/python etc. were also a type of app server, although I rarely heard them referred to as such.

No, I think there's a difference. The deployment story for PHP was that you copied it to the web server and that was that. The mandatory part was a webserver you had anyway. There is FastCGI, but in PHP's case it can be thought of as purely a cache and is not necessary.

> App servers standardize what it means to start an application which makes operating many applications much easier.

A PHP web app does have some moving parts like needing to start nginx/fastcgi/mysql, so in that sense it still needs a container.

But the difference between the PHP source itself and Java is that PHP is 1. stateless and 2. doesn't take nearly as long to start up.

The first one is the big one and means you don't need to restart anything to update the app. This part of PHP is so well designed it practically makes up for how bad the rest of it is.

The second one was more of a Java flaw; the runtime is undercooked (which is why it had all that other super complex stuff on top of it) and everything has to go on the heap, instead of having more of a concept of constant data that could just be mapped in from the binary/jar file. That's what they got for not adding value types I guess.
