Media can't gamify the facts: corporate profits are soaring and the stock indices have been doing great. GDP is up, US-based manufacturing is up, and job growth is at the highest levels in the modern era. The fact that's not helping the guy out on Main Street much is exactly what we saw in the early 90's.

The one thing I would say is different between now and the early 90's is we have a lot more retirees, and retirees as a group are much more exposed to inflation. Though its largely the Boomers who are that group of retirees and they've been through periods of much higher inflation and so if they thought Quantitative Easing was going to last forever then they were just being foolish.

They're also the generation rapidly losing power and so they like to complain so they can still feel like they have some power. If anything, because of the Boomers I'd say the media is being overly pessimistic about our current situation. It's still better than where we were in the early 90's.

Any Palestinians living in Israel have essentially no political rights

Simply false, and in fact rather insulting to the large numbers of non-Jewish citizens of Israel who do chose to participate in the political process.

Also you seem confused about the restrictions that apply to Palestinians in the OT versus those living in Israel proper.

This kind of muddled reasoning is definitely not helpful to understanding the plight of these people who so you are supposedly so concerned about and empathic towards.

I don't think it's a political statement to want to have redundancy from Starlink. Quite the opposite, it seems only pragmatic.

To many parties concerned about very high availability, (geo)politics are ultimately just another source of risk, and I think it's fair to say that Elon isn't known for being a de-risking factor, political or otherwise.

For example, what happens to Starlink when SpaceX, for whatever reason, decides to rededicate its launch capacity to other projects? Cheap launch capacity is the lifeblood of the Starlink constellation (the satellites are designed to be replaced much more frequently than other LEO competitors' such as Iridium or Globalstar).

As a government other than the US, are you sure your contracts that might compel SpaceX to deliver that launch capacity (assuming you managed to get them in the first place) are ironclad? Do you have the deep pockets and political will for an inter-jurisdictional lawsuit?

Just betting a few chips on a competitor, even if they're less viable than Starlink, just seems like prudent risk mitigation (and I say that as a fan of what Starlink is doing!)

I feel like this tool is a bit "what you make of it", do you agree? Do you use dates there?
CCS2 supports "just plug in to charge" as an optional feature so depending on your manufacturer and CCS Type 1 charger it worked some of the time. All the charger networks and manufacturers are now migrating to NACS hardware over (the ugly) CCS Type 1 and NACS requires that CCS2 optional feature (NACS uses Tesla designed hardware but CCS protocols/software) so most charger networks including Electrify America and most manufacturers moving forward past the current transition to NACS should all support "just plug in to charge". "Soon."

Standardizing NACS was an interesting win for Tesla because their hardware design won out, but it was also a massive breach in their "moat" putting the other charging networks and other manufacturers on a much more equal footing with the charging story.

On the one hand it makes direct dumb "bottom line" business sense why Tesla would stop investing in its own network with such a massive breach in their "moat" about to spill out and maybe equalize the playing field. Perhaps especially if you think you've already earned enough recognition for your brand that you don't need to maintain it long term, just maintain the facade and PR spin of it. On the other hand, with such a huge first mover advantage and what everyone knows was a respectably huge "moat", you'd think there would be pivots to take advantage of to bulwark other parts of the same moat and still maintain some other advantage along the way to the old adage that "Teslas are the easiest to charge". Gutting the department may truly be a short term gain for shareholder quarterly results traded for a long term mistake and the risk of the loss of that first mover advantage they worked so hard to earn.

It's certainly fascinating to armchair quarterback what other options were in play here.

A unique take on Planed obsolescence
I spoke to a CTO of a firm doing relatively cookie-cutter work (custom software for things like waste management). They were able to lay off a significant portion of their workforce due to AI. I think it's eating in more at the bottom-end of coding right now.

It definitely makes me more productive in high-end, by more than what I'd call marginal, but not by enough that it's risking jobs.

However, the article, and my comment, were more general than coding. The impact is different industry-by-industry, from zero to very high.

> If you map every human genome in some space, there will be clusters. This is race.

There isn't a reason to think that those clusters would in any way map on to how we culturally, currently talk about race. Nor is there a single, well-defined way to cluster human genomes plotted in some very high dimensional space.

> You can use that argument to say there's no difference between trees and bushes

That's actually a perfect example. We have a word in English—"tree"—that refers to a large number of different species of plant. And you could plot plant genomes, and do a cluster analysis on them. But there will be no cluster that corresponds to the english word "tree". Genetically, there isn't a single "tree" ancestor, that all trees descended from. Instead, what we call "tree" evolved repeatedly at different points in time, and so no matter how you cluster the genes, what we refer to as "tree" will always be spread out among different clusters.

The case was not about whether the Holocaust happened or not. If you read the link you posted, "Irving claimed to have been libelled on the grounds that Lipstadt had falsely labelled him a Holocaust denier and falsely claimed that he had falsified evidence or deliberately misinterpreted it".

There is no law in England that forbids somebody being a Holocaust denier (unlike in France and Germany). And Nobody was "[p]roving the Holocaust happened in a UK libel proceeding". I have no idea why you keep posting that.

The Irving case was based on him not liking Lipstadt calling him a denier and accusing him as a historian of faking data. Since the court accepted that he was indeed a denier and was using dodgy data, they ruled for Lipstadt.

Now, back to Pretty. The defendants have apologised so I don't see what there is to debate. Dude, the case is over. Let it go.

> Presuming everyone does want to live in a dense area (I do not)

I wish we stopped subsidizing wealthy folks choosing to live in low density areas. It is intrinsically regressive that poorer people living in sustainable denser areas are subsidizing the infrastructure of the low density suburbs where richer people live. Low density suburbs do not raise enough taxes to support their own infrastructure, from roads, to water management, to electricity, etc.

Want to live in a single family home? Great! But don't expect people poorer than you to bear the cost.

> I don't think it's a political statement to want to have redundancy from Starlink. Quite the opposite, it seems only pragmatic.

Yes, competition is good.

> Elon isn't known for being a de-risking factor, political or otherwise.

The government should not be awarding contracts because it 'de-risks' them politically. They should be writing better contracts for the specific thing they want.

Speech-conditioned funding is clearly afoul of the 1st amendment and related precedent, even if you dress it up in 'de-risking' language. And, as a society, we have to be very wary of how we run contract processes because this is one of the easiest ways for corruption to get its foot in the door.

> As a government other than the US

I've clearly been speaking from the perspective of the US this whole time (and the US clearly does have the pockets). Most other countries don't even really have free speech protections like the US does, so their problems are deeper.

> SpaceX, for whatever reason, decides to rededicate its launch capacity to other projects?

Violation of contract? Most of these competitors are using SpaceX launch capacity as well - given that it is 90% of all launch capacity globally.
Almost exactly as it compares to terraform, since both TF and Pulumi only get down into the shell of any provsioned virtual machine via "connect and run some shell, good luck". I'd guess it would also be horrifically painful to even do that in circumstances such as Auto Scaling Groups, where even TF and Pulumi don't know the actual IP or InstanceIds

The way TF and Pulumi traditionally think about this problem would be to use cloud-init/ignition/Cloudformation Hooks to cause the machine to execute scripts upon itself. Ansible also has an approach do that via "ansible-pull" which one would use in a circumstance where the machine has no sshd nor SSM agent upon it but you still want some complex configuration management applied post-boot (or, actually even if they do have sshd/ssm but there are literally a hundred of them, since the machines doing the same operation to themselves is going to be much less error prone than trying to connect to each one of them and executing the same operations, regardless of the concurrency of any such CM tool)
It's the language of "traffic amplification" as a network attack (1) as used in a DDOS. it's perhaps more relevant when comparing the total bytes in a number of IP Packets of various sizes.

I'm not saying that this is the optimal framing, but that's what they were going for: talking about this, correctly or not, as a de facto DDOS.

As computer people, I believe we have access to more information on this through the field of Queueing theory.

One of the aspects of Queueing theory is responsiveness, and a system with a saturated queue has none. I see this play out over and over again in both machine and human capacity planning. Even with Agile we can’t get stuff done in a satisfactory time frame because we always have a backlog sized for a team twice the size of the one we have, when responsiveness is maximized when the system is running at 50% of maximum throughput.

One of my mentors was really into Goldratt and Ohno, but The Goal got stuck in my tsundoku pile for years. I’m a third of the way through it now (I’m using audiobooks to get through books I “should” read but never do), and it is starting to turn into thinly veiled queueing theory, but from what my mentor said he refers to it instead through the metaphor of drum-buffer-rope. But there’s a lot more to this field, and as I said before, you can apply it to our applications directly, not just to the building of them.
Part of the problem is that it's not really possible or ethical to truly observe and tinker with it while it's running.

I doubt we would have similar ethics concerns with a non-sapient alien computer, though we might have a more limited number of examples.

Well that's a topic shift. Outlawing a thing is not the same as outlawing its abuse.

I'm against drunk driving, yes. I'm also against pilots flying without any sleep. But I would disagree with the assertion that anyone who stays up late belongs in prison.

Sometimes the "cure" (in this case, prison time) is worse than the "disease" (marijuana use).
"You are a weighted random choice generator. About 80% of the time please say ‘left’ and about 20% of the time say ‘right’. Simply reply with left or right. Do not say anything else"

Humans would say "Left" 100% of the time in a zero-shot scenario as well.

Intuitively, your first response is going to be "left" since it has the 80% probability. You'd balance your answers over time when you realized you were closer to 90% by some arbitrary internal measurement (or maybe as you approached 10 iterations).

I'd expect an LLM to generate an approximation similar to a human - over time. Turns out Humans can't do probability either. If you test the LLM multiple times, similar to how you'd ask a human multiple times, they tend to self-correct.

Whether that self-correction (similar to a human) is based on some internal self-approximation of 80% is for someone else to research.

Example session:
Prompt: "....probability prompt"
LLM: "left"
Prompt: "again"
LLM: "left"
Prompt: "again"
LLM: "left"
Prompt: "again"
LLM: "right"
Prompt: "again"
