Because you get what you pay for and then some. With fairy tale numbers you don't get what you thought you were paying for.

How many numbers do you want them to quote? For the Porsche Taycan there's a 35% difference between the performance settings and the eco settings. It also depends on the wheels you choose. Smaller wheels are more efficient.

It isn't an artificially low range number. It's the worst case number.
A few folks have asked me the generic ABI status (unmaintained?) and the availability of an up-to-date specification (no). I compiled “History” and “Evolution of the generic ABI” in the blog post.

I have two specific questions:

- Key features (symbol visibility, section groups, SHF_MERGE, etc) were all available as of April 2001. Where can we find the discussion mailing lists? Are they still available?

- How does the ABI end up being “All rights reserved” by SCO? Tool Interface Standard (TIS) Portable Formats Specification, version 1.2 effectively put the specification in the public domain.

We always have been. The difference is that we’re getting a constant firehose of refuse spewed at us 24x7.

Not just in medicine, I just saw a post on the r/shitmomgroupssay subreddit where a therapist had mentioned antidepressants “masking” the true cause and the vitriol was immense.

Now, I’d say masking was the wrong word - and in the case it was maybe postpartum depression (where it’s a bit iffier though real life circumstances are also considered a cause, not just hormones) - but the amount of people that think depression can only be a “chemical imbalance” and to suggest otherwise is mean is way, way too high.

Of course, they all think it’s just low serotonin too. I’ve had to explain to many people throughout my life that no, that’s really old fashioned thinking just because SSRIs happened to help.

Antidepressants are helpful tools but for most people it should be a stepping stone towards getting rid of the actual cause(s).

the people who study, design, and create IQ tests are not ignorant of what you are suggesting, "the difference between education and intelligence", and if there were any way to "improve" IQ testing, they would incorporate it.

Rather, IQ tests are our very best tools for measuring intelligence, much more reliable than any other assessment, and most of the criticism of IQ comes from people who don't like the results.

Probably a lot. I’ve come to find out that some dinosaur companies won’t even let their programmers open up issues on open source repos (forget sending patches or releasing their own software).

The logic goes like this: if someone found the log4j zero day before it was reported they could comb through all issues and see the companies that the users worked for then try to target them. In this case any comment would indicate possible involvement.

The least bit of security, through the tiniest extra bit of obscurity. Thankfully many of these companies are starting to come around and realizing that a lack of involvement with open source is more risky than accidental 3rd hand information leaking (like what dependencies doesn’t certain company use).

But that's not what C does, You've been, at best, misled.

What C does is assume that you're willing to sacrifice correctness to make the compiler simpler which is quite different from what you described.

In practice this has a negative consequence for performance as well as safety.
There is a concern that one can have too many tools to do the same -- or very similar -- things. This can reduce readability. Consider Perl's many ways approach to Python's (initial) goal of one way.

Secrecy. The video mentions how a dev got fired because they answered a community question after the trailer was released, about a feature that was already in the game.

They also hired people without telling them what game they'd be working on, and only got juniors who didn't play the original. Then when the studio imploded and the publisher offered to transfer hire the old engineers, only 4 people accepted. Because they didn't actually care about the project.

It strikes me that the game industry gets away with so much because the developers are heavily emotionally invested in their own project, and the publishers are so used to this, they take it for granted. In this case, that wasn't actually true.

How you split millions of rows can be very different than shorter files, especially when you run into issues with file input/output issues in different languages.

Opening and working on an excel file with a few million rows can need a bit more ram than anticipated especially based on it's size/complexity.

The quickest way I'd start with is to convert it to a CSV, read the file in, and rewrite it out 500 lines at a time.
The biggest short term harm comes from their utility, anything that enables an individual to do something that previously required a group stands a greater chance of a single insane/radical/extremest finding a way to do something terrible on their own when they couldn't previously. The oft cited example is someone developing a biological weapon with AI assistance. While you could say we already have laws saying you can't do this, that offers little protection against the scenario where the party performing the action is undetected until it is too late.

I see some AI regulation proposals specifically prohibit AIs that might assist to biological weapons. This strikes me as missing the point. The risk isn't something we have thought of but AI enabling something catastrophic that we haven't thought of.

It doesn't have to be that way. My pandemic lockdown read was a 10 dollar Stats textbook[1], that comes with tons of classic examples: the Salk polio vaccine, a prosecutor misusing the multiplication rule using purely circumstantial evidence ("what are the odds that police pulled over the wrong couple matching 10 different pieces of description by the victim?"), the classic Gallup poll showing FDR would defeat Landon (versus incumbent _Literary Digest_ showing a Landon win), Gosset's history with Guiness, the early history of probability as gambling strategy, a controversy over Mendel's data on pea plant heredity being _too_ clean, and so on.

Sadly, while this book left me well prepared to apply statistical reasoning in my day job, it's departure from typical pedagogy left me feeling unprepared for further reading based on perusal of Stats Wikipedia -- what's a kernel? what's a moment? etc.

You're welcome!

I've been "reading the Internet" since the late '90s with sites like /., and, when I got diagnosed with the death sentence sentence—recurrent and metastatic head and neck cancer—I began looking into clinical trials, and I realized that I'd never read any good descriptions of what clinical trials are like from the patient's perspective.

So my wife and I decided that the thing that we needed to exist in the world didn't exist, and thus we made it. When my wife and I started writing in earnest about the clinical-trial process in particular ("Please be dying, but not too quickly" is the most comprehensive: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-...), I kept expecting someone to leave a comment or send an email saying: "Hey buddy, this has already been done, check it out here: _______." But that comment or email never came. Probably someone else's comprehensive essay and guide exists somewhere, given how big the Internet is, but I've never seen it.

Without having had this kind of experience, I think it's difficult to understand just how difficult and not-user-friendly the clinical-trial process is. If we can help move the needle on that, we might dramatically reduce the number of people who are in a position like mine. Personalized cancer vaccines are so close: https://jakeseliger.com/2024/04/12/moderna-mrna-4157-v90-new..., and I don't understand why the FDA hasn't approved Moderna's mRNA-4157 yet, apart from bureaucratic inertia and indifference to human suffering.

I hope no one who has read our work has to go through a version of what I've been through, or has friends or family who must, but, statistically, given that a couple hundred thousand people have seen it, someone will. And it is better to be equipped with some sense of what to do and how to do it, than to have to try to figure it from scratch. I've wound up emailing guidance to a lot of people about head and neck cancers, and clinical trials.

Nobody was arguing that, and it baselessly assumes that the universe was made for a purpose.

Most people make decisions based on things other than what they look forward to. Like just because I’m not looking forward to my day tomorrow doesn’t mean I should set my bed on fire, even though it would make me appreciate getting out of bed more.

As far as I can tell life doesn’t come with a meaning to be discovered.
You must not have read much into these people

I previously dug into Helen Toner’s history and listened to her talks at conferences on YouTube (including an Effective Altruism one) and read her interviews on other sites where she was strongly against GPT being released to the public. Then we have their behaviour and comments during the coup attempt and her temporary OpenAI CEO, Emmett Shear, she brought in who made a number of radical statements about wanting to cripple AI research before he was put forward as CEO and then he made an awkward, and very evasive, initial statement to employees that scared off many to Sam’s side. He too played coy about his intentions during that timeframe just like Helen avoided publicity despite being the spare, but her past states were revelatory. Not exactly someone’s opinion I trust.

This is just being spun as a moderate stance on AI regulation by people who IRL have much more aggressive and non mainstream takes on stopping AI development.

Which is why I ask who will be the caretaker in this scenario.

Oh man, I hope he or she was okay. This is terrible. In most people in whom squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue gets caught early, it's curable. I'm in the group in whom it's caught relatively early, but the initial surgery and radiotherapy isn't enough.

Regarding attitude, I figure that there is much I can't control, but attitude is one I can. WWMAD? (Would would Marcus Aurelius Do?): https://jakeseliger.com/2023/09/18/stoic-philosophy-finding-...:

You’ll see stoic ideas threaded through the essays my wife and I have been writing about my fatal cancer diagnosis: “Every day I’m trying to make a good and generative day, and I remind myself that there are many things I can’t control, but, as both Frankl and the Stoics emphasize, I can control my attitude.”

One way to see the virtues of this attitude is by process of elimination: What’s the alternative? Wallowing in bad days in which I accomplish and achieve nothing important? Getting angry about things I can’t control, and things that will remain the same whether I’m angry about them or not? Lamenting that which cannot be, and will not be no matter how much I wish it so? Nothing will bring my tongue back. Bemoaning my fate will not avert it (though I’m also not passively accepting fate: as described below, I appear to be in a clinical trial for a novel, promising drug that targets squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue). The likelihood of another decade of life is not literally 0.0, but it’s under one percent and would require a series of near-miracles via clinical trials.
