I replied to a post that advocated basically death penalty for firms that such penalties are inhumane. I can’t really put my finger at what you’re insinuating my position is and how you arrived there.

But, putting on my economist hat; I can assure you that exponentially increasing fines will at some point create enough deterrence against such actions. Or better yet, it will be socially optimal for those idiots to keep breaking rules.
While there is evidence to support some of what you're saying, the physical mechanism backing the causal relationship between psychedelic use and psychological disorders is far more complicated and nowhere near as well understood as you seem to believe. Heck, the physical mechanism behind nearly all psychological disorders in isolation remains poorly understood, let alone their interaction with any particular psychedelic.

It can be scary to pigeon hole yourself into any specialist category with which it gives you less freedom of choice in the market place and be forced to make hard decisions on where you live and work. At least for me it's why I continually push towards being a generalist. That is, of course unless your talents in some specialist area are so fundamental to most companies that you'll be sought after for those skills and paid handsomely for the fact.

Application-level software engineering hasn't been about hand-writing for-loops for a long time, but there's a tendency for people to feel self-satisfied in what's familiar and what they worked hard to master.

Now that LLMs can write for-loops, too, I've hoped that the field will reconsider the activities that it considers to be valuable. The essential complexity is more about what you described: sit down, design, find a specification. The build to spec part, in the 21st century, can be a tooling step that takes the spec as input.

Perhaps the next step for the industry's state of the art in application-level software engineering is mastering formal spec languages, to seriously tailor the scope of work to the essential complexity of mediating between the agile world of human requirements and the formal world of computing systems. But I won't hold my breath--society is inured to software bugs as a fact of life, and programmers are used to being paid to endlessly patch their own mistakes.

For monetary policy to work it requires rate sensitive borrowers. If borrowers don't care what rates are then it's not going to have much impact. US households have fixed mortgages so most don't care what interest rates are and the US government obviously doesn't give a damn what interest rates are and will continue borrowing regardless.

Another thing to consider is that counter intuitively higher interest rates might be acting as a form of stimulus for many US households. If you've got a fixed mortgage and the government is now paying you for your savings your total disposable income might actually be increasing with rate hikes.

True, but this ignores the fact that Boeing employees were actively "designing new planes" in that time, and thus had the skill set. From your wiki link, some choice excerpts (not one whole paragraph):

> In 1963 [edit: 6 years before], the United States Air Force started a series of study projects on a very large strategic transport aircraft. Although the C-141 Starlifter was being introduced, officials believed that a much larger and more capable aircraft was needed, especially to carry cargo that would not fit in any existing aircraft

> In 1965, Lockheed's aircraft design and General Electric's engine design were selected for the new C-5 Galaxy transport, which was the largest military aircraft in the world at the time.[1] Boeing carried the nose door and raised cockpit concepts over to the design of the 747.

And from some other articles:

> At Boeing, Sutter worked on many commercial airplane projects, including the 367-80 "Dash 80", 707, 727 and 737. He eventually became a manager for the new jumbo-sized wide body airplane, the four-engine Boeing 747. [0]

My only point is they didn't go from zero to 747 in 3 years. They went from having an active culture of building jets, and doing R&D in this area, and having people that had successfully worked on other new jet design projects. They went from that to having a 747 in 3 years. Still incredibly impressive, but if we admit that culture is lacking now, it's entirely conceivable it'd take longer than 3 years to build a comparable jet today. (Look at how much slower north america builds rail now, or anything, compared to the 60s).

Don't forget to fung futures that are fungible for the same key.

ETA: I appreciate the time you took to make the example, also I changed the extension to `mjs` so the async IIFE isn't needed.

const CACHE_EXPIRY = 1000; // Cache expiry time in milliseconds

let cache = {}; // Shared cache object
let futurecache = {}; // Shared cache of future values

function getFromCache(key) {
const cachedData = cache[key];
if (cachedData && Date.now() - cachedData.timestamp < CACHE_EXPIRY) {
return cachedData.data;
}
return null; // Cache entry expired or not found
}

function updateCache(key, data) {
cache[key] = {
data,
timestamp: Date.now(),
};
}

var mockFetchCount = 0;

// simulate web request shorter than cache time
async function mockFetch(url) {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
mockFetchCount += 1;
return `result from ${url}`;
}

async function fetchDataAndUpdateCache(key) {
// maybe its value is cached already
const cachedData = getFromCache(key);
if (cachedData) {
return cachedData;
}

// maybe its value is already being fetched
const future = futurecache[key];
if(future) {
return future;
}

// Simulate fetching data from an external source
const futureData = mockFetch(`https://example.com/data/${key}`); // Placeholder fetch
futurecache[key] = futureData;

const newData = await futureData;
delete futurecache[key];

updateCache(key, newData);
return newData;
}

const key = 'myData';

// Fetch data twice in a sequence - OK
await fetchDataAndUpdateCache(key);
await fetchDataAndUpdateCache(key);
console.log('mockFetchCount should be 1:', mockFetchCount);

// Reset counter and wait cache expiry
mockFetchCount = 0;
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, CACHE_EXPIRY));

// Fetch data twice concurrently - we executed fetch twice!
await Promise.all([...Array(100)].map(() => fetchDataAndUpdateCache(key)));
console.log('mockFetchCount should be 1:', mockFetchCount);

in 2008 uft-8 was only ~20% of all web pages! Again, that deprecation fact is not meaningful, a quick search shows that rfc for tagging is dated 1999, so that's just 10 years before deprecation, that's a tiny timeframe for such things, so I agree, it's not surprising there was no widespread use.

> Via its incr and decr commands, memcached provides a built-in way to atomically add to a number. But it doesn’t provide other arithmetic operations; in particular, there is no “atomic multiply by ” operation.

Going from that to "maybe I should implement multiply similar to incr" is not a big enough leap to call it "Eureka" in my mind.
> it's like running an LLM on a very high temperature

I can second this, specifically. For me, LSD often triggers thoughts that can't be put into words - upon trying, out come sentences like this:

"can have a haves and take a three sixteenth quarters. can have a what's very much like. can have an um somethings or others .... mmm much of somethings or others.... can havings a taken umpteenth very good time ...."

Those are real sentences I typed up while on LSD, knowing that they were complete gibberish, but it's what came out of my brain when I tried to put the thoughts into words. The thoughts had some sort of meaning, but not in words, just indescribable concepts. Whatever part of my brain translates thoughts and concepts into words had never been trained on those types of thoughts before, so it came out as gibberish.
That doesn't seem that strange Russian and I think Ukrainian (maybe some other languages that use cyrilic) have Дж as the closest thing to English J. Д is d and ж is transliterated as zh. Sometimes names are transliterated with dzh instead of j.

My experience with formal specifications was that our specification ended up being more complex than the code itself.

This is a tricky problem, because your specifications can and usually does have bugs. I once measured this on a project I worked on and found that it accounted for up to ~60% of all incoming bugs - that is, 60% of bugs were due to misunderstandings or miscommunications involving a spec of some kind.

The added complexity of formal verification languages creates an opening for specification bugs to creep in. The net effect was that we might have had 0 code bugs via this automatic proving system but the number of bugs in the specification actually went up.

I'm been deeply cynical about formal verification ever since. I'm not even of the opinion that it's "maybe not good for us, but good for building code for rocket ships". I think it might be actually bad at that too.

I'm bullish on more sophisticated type systems and more sophisticated testing, but not formal verification.

Just as there are places where eating canids and felids is not taboo - so too are there places where eating a primate is not taboo. A larger geography by far as far as I know.

By this argument and amount of places (not people), eating a primate might be less taboo than eating a canid or felid?

As an American, I feel the same cultural taboos and they’ve kept me from eating some things but I’ve been reconsidering. Horse and rabbit were delicious.

What about coyote or mountain lion though? Those are still but seldom eaten in America mostly by hunters.

Some people draw the line at not eating predators not because of cultural taboo but because of bio accumulation issues.

There's probably always going to be issues with getting good coverage of Scandinavia economically because (1) the physics of the orbits means that regions at the same latitude (both Northern and Southern hemisphere) "share" the satellites to an extent and (2) Scandinavia is an outlier in population density at its high latitude. In other words, there are not many other high-latitude countries with which to share the cost of the putting satellites in these inclinations orbits. I believe this is ameliorated somewhat by the US Military's desire for pole-to-pole coverage. I think (?) the near-polar orbit Starlinks were only added later because of this.
Sounds to me like a good way of building a high quality CV model with limited resources.

I don't know if we are on the right track if we have to ship "super optimized assembly" for HTML and CSS. I think we should be able to write the most simple and straightforward HTML and CSS and the Browser on all devices should just render it fine.

If we really have to ship super optimized assembly, then I would completely skip HTML and CSS altogether and just ship highly optimized web assembly and let developers use whatever language they want.

I wish Go recorded the timestamp of goroutine and let you access them.

An app I work on recently had a bug where goroutines would slowly build up over time. Turns out the bug is in the Growthbook SDK [1]. We can monitor the number of goroutines, but having a large number of goroutines waiting in the location that gets stuck is normal — we can only see such a problem over multiple days, in that the minimum value slowly goes up.

If Go could tell you the timestamp of the oldest goroutines as part of the pprof dump, we could have an alert, and it would work for any such leak.

> The higher the interest, the lower the prices, which sounds logical but...the prices kept increasing.

This is a side effect of "demand" I think.

Higher interest rates increase mortgage/financing costs. This is supposed to "destroy" demand.

Except, there's so much demand (and so little supply) that it didn't, and we're getting the worst of both worlds.

In the US: A $500k 3/2 house at 2.75% 30-year fixed in 2020 is now $750k at 6.75%

It "shouldn't" have played out that way but my theory is

Home buyers from before ~2015 (random guess) are "up so much" in equity from this quiet "real estate inflation/demand appreciation boom" that they don't care to "overpay" $200k compared to what they would've paid 4 years ago because they were "gifted/given" $200k+ in equity out of the sky. They're just moving the money from one property to the next.
My real-world experience with folks on Android is in two categories:

2. They literally just do not care in any way whatsoever and just use whatever the default client is (e.g. grandparents).

I'm entirely willing to admit this may not be representative, however.

What's the problem? The repo clearly states that you need to install such and such build prerequisites.

Also, the issues the article you link are things that damn near every programmer will eventually need to know. Things like PATH are IMO the basics -- if you don't understand this or how to `$packageManager install` something, you're gonna have a rough time programming in general, regardless of language.

As another commenter explained, different domains use words differently. The ML paper I linked has been influential enough to use the word "emergent" in machine learning to describe this behaviour, so you're right that, within the context of ML and AI, "gradual emergence" is an oxymoron.

Again, I understand this might not align with what you think "emergence" means in the English language, in the same way in which "metal" in physics has a completely different meaning from "metal" in chemistry, "metal" in astrophysics, and "metal" in the English language.
Thanks I will check if BlazePose fits my purpose. Maybe I have to train my own model. YOLOv8 is great, but it's weakness seems to be detecting people from an high camera angle, which we have to use to get all the people in the space at once and for practical reasons (cannot mount camera where it can be reached without ladder).

So I might have to annotate my own data and train my own model. I found one top view dataset by ZHDK Zürich and I got my own test footage.

I will figure out how well I can make it run on my old laptop (has a Nvidia GPU at least).

For the most obvious difference, if you apply two waves to the same chord with the same phase but opposite frequency, the result is a chord which doesn't move (destructive interference). If you collide an electron and a positron, the result is an explosion with the maximum possible energy for their mass (mc²).

Also, you can actually do the phase cancelation experiment with two electrons, as they can behave as waves, and you will get the same cancelation as you do with audio waves - except the net electrical field will be 0 instead of the string not moving.
