Extreme take, but the older I get the more I start thinking that the very concept of operators was a mistake, overloadable or otherwise, especially in a systems language. Even for something as simple as addition there's just too many actual operations that I might want to invoke (wrap on overflow, saturate on overflow, crash on overflow, raise exception on overflow, flag on overflow so I can raise later, return boolean to indicate overflow, return tuple of wrapped result and overflowed remainder on overflow).
Do you always assume other people are incompetent? That's not very nice of you.

I mostly work on AI, so I know if I'm overfitting or not. It performs provably better in it's domain (a niche programming language). GPT4 can barely write a hello world for it.

I'm not creating a "better GPT4" general chatbot. I'm finetuning for a specific task.

The actual publications were far less definitive.

The NY times article[0]

The astronomers, who reported the finding on Monday in a pair of papers, have not collected specimens of Venusian microbes, nor have they snapped any pictures of them. But with powerful telescopes, they have detected a chemical — phosphine — in the thick Venus atmosphere. After much analysis, the scientists assert that something now alive is the only explanation for the chemical’s source.

Later in the same article

On such worlds, “as far as we can tell, only life can make phosphine,” Dr. Sousa-Silva said. She has long studied the gas, on the theory that finding it being emitted from rocky planets that orbit distant stars could be proof that life exists elsewhere in the Milky Way.

The actual publication abstract[1]

...If PH3 ’s presence in Venus’ atmosphere is confirmed, it therefore is highly likely to be the result of a process not previously considered plausible for Venusian conditions. The process could be unknown geochemistry, photochemistry, or even aerial microbial life, given that on Earth phosphine is exclusively associated with anthropogenic and biological sources.

Which reads to me like a, "We saw something funny" result.

It seems clear at this point that Covid (the latest variants in the wild, at any rate) does not cause "often debilitating effects", and so any mitigation must have its costs, which are very high for any easily-transmissible respiratory illness, weighed against its benefits, which are pretty low.

Remember: "there are no solutions, only tradeoffs." Otherwise, we should just plug everyone into VR pods a la The Matrix and be done with disease once and for all.

> The root cause of burnout - be it coding or otherwise, is when expectations don't match reality.

When I've been the person suffering from burnout it's often because I've been led to believe something is important and it turns out that it was both unimportant and extra. I put in tons of extra work, and then the whole project turns out to be worthless.

> I always find that argument flawed, because we could also have started investing much earlier into renewables too.

Nuclear power was “shovel ready” by 1960. The unpredictable fundamental research was done and the “investment” that remained was to build power plants. The majority of France’s power was nuclear by the 1980s.

Solar was not shovel ready in 1960. Perovskite solar cells were invented in 2009. The battery technology necessary to support grid-scale solar also wasn’t close to commercialization. By the time the first commercial lithium ion batteries were demonstrated in the late 1980s, France already had a majority renewable grid based on nuclear.

The utility of nuclear for weapons is a plus, not a minus. That meant a lot of the fundamental research in nuclear had already been done and paid for by militaries. If clean energy was the goal, it was a no-brainer to leverage that work that had been doing and was going to be done anyway. But the environmental movement has always been unfortunately susceptible to being hijacked by other liberal causes.

That is a very simplistic look at it. We don’t know if TSMC has already done a lot of testing and thinks it can do it.

Meanwhile, Intel absolutely needed to try to take much bigger risks.

A pretty good article showing that low NA might be more cost effective: https://www.semianalysis.com/p/asml-dilemma-high-na-euv-is-w...

Lastly, the biggest chip you can make with low NA is 858 mm² which is nearly 2x bigger than high NA at 429 mm². This means it's impossible to make a chip as large as the Nvidia H100 GPU using high NA. If Nvidia uses Intel's 14A process, they will have to split the chip into multiple pieces and go chiplets approach. They're already doing it with Blackwell but that's stitching 2x 800mm²+ dies together. If they make a future chip using high NA nodes, they'd have to stitch 4x dies together to have the equivalent size which is considerably harder for GPUs.

I do believe that all highend chip makers will be switching to the chiplet approach. Everyone has to due to the high NA reticle limit. But TSMC's approach allows designers to keep making chips twice the size until around 2030. That's a huge advantage.
The more I watch cat-dog interactions, the more I feel that cats vs dogs is just a myth created by media and literature for content. Never saw dogs aggressively behaving against cats, or cats bothering dogs. If I found a dog barking at a cat, it was more likely that it was the type which would bark at anything that moved.
In Dyalog APL you can set the index origin with ⎕IO←0 (or 1) and there are many ways in which this can bite you. In Lua, and I think Fortran, you can specify the range of array indices manually.
In my opinion, there is still some relation between LoC and engineering output over a long period of time. Some of the greatest computer scientists and engineers have insane code outputs and I believe it does directly translate into impact in some ways. The issue is when Loc becomes a metric to measure performance. At that point, we have an instance of Goodhart's Law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”.
It is hard to believe anyone would manage to fill Android phone with malware without going out of their way to do so.
Google Play is the default app store. You have to enable installing from other sources.
Google Play then still gets to inspect the app and warn you about possible malware.
Of course you can disable all the safety feature and only use 3rd party stores...but you have to go out of your way to do that. If person has done that without knowing what they are doing then they will probably fall for the first, second and 10,000th phishing email or phone call and there is nothing anyone can do to protect them.
I believe it, but there are also a lot of people in that top 10% who will like this price discrimination.

My 10% cut-off is probably wrong. It's unlikely to have a noticeable effect on the top 5%. (Zuckerberg wouldn't notice if his home electric bill went up by 200-500x.) The interesting effects will be at a lower premium over median income.

TIL that the Robertson-Patman price discrimination ban (15 USC 13) doesn't work the way that I thought that it did.
The fancy tankless TOTO washlets range between $3-15k. That's a lot but not completely inaccessible.

The non-integrated TOTO Washlets range from $400-$1000. These have heated water, heated seats, heated dryer, a carbon air freshener and a remote. Some have auto-closing lids too. Definitely accessible for many in the HN crowd.

Cold-water bidet attachments are, like, $30.

Big part of the problem is wrong expectations.

A business doesn’t owe you and doesn’t care about meaning, love, higher purpose, special respect and other things commenters here mention.

It just trades your skills and time for money. That’s it.

Unfortunately companies keep exploiting this basic instinct of belonging to something bigger for their benefit.

If this thirst is not fulfilled in other ways (for example, through faith, family, social life etc) - you tend to look where the light shines, not where it can actually be found.

Then you inevitably fail in this search => feeling of burning out, like you wasted you time waiting fore some spiritual fulfillment that was never there.

But it’s a fair game - employees have their own set of tools and tricks to maximize profits.
Neat. Now could they please do the same for hair loss? :)
Current ANN are probably just not big enough to properly reason. We’re still working with the equivalent of insect sized brains. We shouldn’t assume that future ANN will not be capable of deductive reasoning.

Also LLMs might not be the best approach for deductive reasoning, but LLMs are not the only architecture.
So what? We're going to derail an entire point because a gaff was made and everyone still understands the argument?

It's worth pointing out, but not worth derailing an entire conversation. It generates noise that prevents us from actually discussing the issues at hand. We're people, not computers. We can handle mistakes (and look how much work we put into computers to make them do this). And this thread blew up, you aren't the first to point it out. So forgive me if I'm a bit exhausted.[0]

I've made several mistakes (including the first blackstone link not pasting and pasting the whole comment instead of the specific part I was responding to (thanks firefox)), and so have you, and others. But let's not make the conversation about that. We'll never get shit done. We can take an aside to resolve any confusion, but it is an aside. Clearly by your explanation here you understood the point. And clearly we know that the number itself is arbitrary. Are we gonna shit talk everything Franklin said because he used 100 instead of Blackstone's original 10? No, because the number isn't what's consequential.

[0] We do meet each other here a lot and I have respect for you. It's why I'll take the time to respond to you. But I also know you to be better than this. I think you can also understand why it can be exhausting to be overloaded with responses and with a large number of people trying to tear down my argument by things that are not actually important to the argument. Specifically when the complaints make it clear that the correct interpretation was actually found. I'm happy to correct and appreciate mistakes being pointed out, but too many internet conversations just get derailed this way. The distinction of correcting vs derailing is critical, and the subsequent emotional response is clearly different in the two cases.

I'm happy to continue the conversation w.r.t the actual topic (even where we disagree), but it seems like wasted time to argue over a gaff that we both know was made and we understand what was said despite this.
So you are saying the reason for russia to destroy everthing ukraine, is the ukraine trying to destroy everything russian in ukraine, after russia invaded in 2014?

Maybe you got cause and effect mixed up here?

In either way, I condemn both attempts at attacking different cultures. Still, ukraine did not declare there is basically no russia. And the did not invade russia to exterminate. But russian officials did it with ukraine. Saying they are all russian. And invaded. And are destroying everything ukraine in Ukraine.

That is the reason Ukraine tolerates their nazis, as they fight against the threat to all of them. But they surely ain't all Nazis.

That is just a weak reason to reestablish a russian empire. And that's the main thing here happening, for some reason Ukraine does not want to be part of your empire anymore and you try to force them.

When I managed software for a large corporate, I kept a box of pencils on my desk.

For around 1/2 the information requests that came through the department (always very important, we need the info now, it will save/make big dollars) the obvious answer was "Work it out from the info you already have. You've got a calculator and spreadsheet - would you like a pencil?"

Better to avoid the system handling X than having multiple special cases bulking up the systems, most of which only get used once in a blue moon. No one knows the special cases/programs are there, or what actually do. Even if well documented, no one spends the time required to know what's available. So most of those special features are actually waste of time.
"on earth there are organisms in the deep sea that have completely different biology": Not sure what you mean by that. There are bacteria that metabolize different things than what the bacteria up here metabolize, but they (and we) all use DNA, and with a couple exceptions they use the same codons to encode the same amino acids and start/stop. As far as anyone knows, that coding is completely arbitrary, i.e. the codons could have been entirely different. The fact that they are not entirely different implies a common origin.

Lots of other biochemical similarities, too.

Is "ethnically American" even a single homogeneous thing though?

How many languages are spoken, how much territory used to be part of the New Spainish lands for how many hundred years, how many diaspora's fed into modern America?

"Native American" itself is a broad spectrum, many past language and cutural groups, many degrees of living on and off reservation lands, many intertwinings with former slaves, ranchers, et al.

His short story "Just like hamburger, exactly like hamburger" also largely centers on the experience of his memory:

"For thirty seconds, I remembered the time a man on the street in Oakland, California pointed a gun at me. I remembered everything I remembered the instant the man pointed the gun at me. I remembered telling a beautiful girl on a hot day in a cafe in Shin-Osaka Station about the man pointing a gun at me. I remembered telling her about what I’d remembered that day. I’d told her I’d remembered my fight in elementary school — where I’d hit, again and again, the kid who’d bullied me an entire year. I remembered telling her that when the man pointed the gun at me I remembered my fight and I wished I’d killed the kid who bullied me. I confessed to her that it made me know I am a terrible person. I remembered confessing my terrible personhood to a girl in a cafe in Shin-Osaka Station. She’d told me I was beautiful and I was wonderful. So I was in a car inside a waterfall and I was wishing that other people could make me, instead of my making myself. Then I remembered my friend and his wife and their two cats, dying in the middle of the night in their house because their 3D printer leaked carbon monoxide while they were asleep."

That's quite a lot of bandwidth streaming video up to ~100,000 feet. How are you achieving this?
I think you misunderstood. The guy bought the stock, posted on some forum that he got the stock and it was going to the moon, and then he saw a 300% increase in whatever period they said. At the time they posted, they believed there would be a 1000% increase in price. But now they’re seeing 300%, and thinking they should get out now instead of trying to chase the high point, 300% is still a good profit.
Previously, the “good old days” were the 1950’s before it all went “downhill”. I’m sure the 1890’s were someone’s golden age before electricity ruined everything.
I'm sorry, but you're clearly not bothering to think this through or... Idk.
It’s hard. I think people get sucked into the matrix. I had a friend who was a really interesting person. Had well thought out beliefs and we used to talk about philosophy, politics and science.

Eventually she got a high paying, high stress high finance job and eventually she had no time to really think about things. Instead it was easier to repeat talking points she saw on the news and spend what little time she had enjoying her money. We still keep in touch but she actively isn’t interested in our old subjects as they’re too stressful to think about. It’s a fair point.

My coworker is reasonably decent engineer and intelligent person. His motivation in life is to just make money to feed his addiction to video games, gambling and drugs. We’re friends outside of work so I encouraged him to break away from his vices but to him there’s not much in the “real world”. It’s not entertaining, optimistic or fun so he plugs in after work.

I have a lot friends like these. The funny thing about the cave allegory is that in modern times the world outside of the cave is much more chaotic, hateful and scary.
Perhaps operators could only be overloaded, without any defined by the language itself. Then projects could define useful operators for their specific case to make things more terse/infix/etc. while still requiring awareness of their implementation.

Just confirming that this too is the distinction I see. I'll expand since there is so much confusion around this:

The difference is how information was gathered.

People volunteering information to an authority? Perfectly fine (especially in cases when information was not requested).

People being compelled to provide information? Needs friction (checks and balances).

People being compelled to provide information about others who then unknowningly being investigated? Needs even more friction.

It's also important to note that in the hypothetical that random passerbyers are not being investigated either. A specific type of behavior is being sought. Either the explicit act of the crime being committed or a STRONG correlation with another piece of evidence (such as already knowing what the criminal looks like and trying to find a better view). Random people are not considered suspect.

In the article's case all viewers were considered suspect.
And “emergent” in this context usually means “behaviour resulting from the interaction of a large number of individually simple units”, not “suddenly appearing.”
> People who intentionally hurt others for profit should be treated as such, no matter if they're mugging their victims or scamming them.

Mugging and scamming are definitely not the same. Being robbed is not the same as giving your money away voluntarily. But I also don't think muggers should be "tarred and feathered and run out of town" either. They should be tried for theft, because the money/goods weren't handed over voluntarily.

> He's no better than a Nigerian prince who uses email

I'm not saying he's better or worse than anyone. I'm asking what tarring and feathering should actually mean.
