Same here, I'm in the business of terminals as well as hinterland transportation companies. There is no shortage of people trying to solve the 'sexy' academic problems like stowage plan optimization, berth assignment problems, crane splits, etc, but only very little gets implemented in practice. It is a tough business, with an even tougher political landscape, since dock workers traditionally have very strong unions.

All of the problems you can neatly divide and name are interrelated in practice, and trying to have algorithms "magically" figure it out for users is pretty much guaranteed to fail. This business eats software hotshots who think they can swoop in and "just" run some algos, "because it's just a TSP / Constraint Solver / [insert your approach here] right?". This business can definitely use bright minds, but start humbly, and start by talking to real world users please.

You don't appear to have any contact details on your profile, but if you ever would like to exchange thoughts with another company in this business, shoot me an e-mail. I think we're doing some interesting stuff for the <1 million TEU/year segment of terminals, especially if they're heavy into multi modal.

I mean, this has been an extremely good trade in the last seven days. Closing it out tomorrow would put Gills in unusually elite company anywhere in the world, working for any bank or fund. Rennaissance revenue per trader per year is on the order of like $30mm, and overall fund returns are not usually more than 30%, implying those traders run like $100mm. Gills has turned nearly a 2x in seven days on a $170mm or so base. Please tell me you find that unimpressive.

This is a confusing argument to me. Are you saying that structuring and smurfing should then be legal? All structuring and smurfing is is an attempt to make sure that financial transactions stay below the statutory reporting threshold.

Also, I think you’re conflating my statement which was meant to be prescriptive with a descriptive statement. I’m saying if structuring and smurfing are illegal in a financial context, MSFT doing so to skirt antitrust laws should be similarly illegal - if the laws don’t prohibit it, the laws should be updated. But I’m not a lawyer so it’s possible laws already prohibit it or MSFT violated some laws. Commenting in either direction on an information free article isn’t wise.

As for the spirit of the law vs letter of the law, that’s an ongoing debate as old as history. It’s personally weird to me to encounter letter of the law people given that the spirit of the law has a much richer history behind it to my view and seems more defensible. Some amount of rule lawyering is required, but violating the spirit of the law is a more robust legal principle that can withhold participants trying to find creative workarounds around the spirit of the law.

No wonder you don't care too much about privacy, but this is not normal for everyone.
This, so much this. I feel that society as a whole is eeking slowly into 80-90's level computing, but it is completely asymmetrical. Some parts of society are hyper-evolved, like social media and entertainment, but others are stuck in earlier phases like your example. In that case even 70's level tech and theory would be an improvement.

CS and educated tech people in general are in a hyper-educated bubble where it is normal to talk about distributed systems and algorithmic complexity, but there are an awful lot of smart people without those backgrounds.

A lot of knowledge that's traditionally branded as "technical" is IMO generally useful, but overlooked. For example basic queuing theory in of itself is exceedingly useful. Nothing fancy, just the steady-state, blocking probablity, what chance of how many "clients", etc.

I witness very large (gov) organisations lacking any kind of in/out flow modeling, statistics, etc. No dashboards, no insights. Just going by feel. Everybody is "overworked", but if you dare to say it might be a good idea to start quantifying some of those parameters you'll be in a very silent, very awkward room and will never be asked anything ever again. I wish I was kidding.

AI? Let's start previous-century level process automatization and professionalization first and we'll see in a few decades if we're anywhere near ready for the next step.

Edit: It's btw interesting that most (high-level) managers at these orgs are all alphas, like history and political science majors. I guess it's no wonder they are trying to solve production problems through "consensus" and endless meandering, but it's also frustrating.

Intel has some great software like MKL and related libraries, but, speaking from experience, due to its internal politics Intel is unable to innovate in a meaningful way or build a reasonable SW strategy for GPUs.

The oneAPI heavily contributed to their GPU failures IMO. Choosing SYCL and promoting non-existing performance portability and pouring resources in the trying to shove CPU and GPU (and at some point FPGA!) into the same programming model while disinvesting from OpenCL was a big mistake, but it was probably the only way to please both CPU and GPU management.

And the problem is not SYCL per se but the fact that they try to make it an open standard rather then trying to provide a way to extract maximum performance from their HW. They needed to build a CUDA alternative, where, after jumping through considerable hoops, you can get to actually programming tensor cores for those who need it. Not surprisingly, Intel is not using SYCL for their GPU kernels (look at oneDNN sources). With Raja gone there may be hope, but I'm not holding my breath.

The only thing that they have that is competitive is Habana's stuff which is outside of the oneAPI.

I would not be surprised if AMD has a similar issue of infighting due selling both CPUs and GPUs.

And NVIDIA does not have this problem.
For me it did in fact follow the instruction and found the right answer. I have found this strategy of asking the LLM to analyze why its answer might be wrong results in better final answers. I think this allows the LLM to "use tokens to think" which allows the attention layers to gather the right cognitive resources to answer more subtitle questions effectively.
I've done a lot of whiteboarding interviews in my life and it's never been "implement a quadtree." It's always, at its core, a small coding probably that could plausibly be part of a real-world problem, and therefore it is directly relevant to the job.
> My guess is that the API, being higher level than vk/dx

Metal is not generally higher level than VK/D3D12, instead it's a mix of high- and low-level features (where the low level features typically had been added in later Metal versions and are optional to use).

You can stick to the convenient high level parts of Metal v1 (which feels a lot like the spiritual successor to D3D11) if that's good enough (which often is), but if needed there are lower level and more explicit features that match or in some parts go beyond what Vulkan and D3D12 have to offer (AFAIK argument buffers allow a couple of things that are not possible on D3D12 or Vulkan, or at least would require vendor specific extensions on Vulkan - like setting the PSO via an argument buffer, recorded in a compute shader).

It already does do this!

I don’t know exactly how sophisticated the setup is - it’s likely some tooling around langchain or similar - but it evidently DOES do this given the nature of some of the queries that it resolves.

You are suggesting that a LAM must route itself around a critical failure in its tooling. Maybe you also expect a LAM to grow arms and water your plants for you? You are taking an experts definition and projecting some extra magical requirement onto it to dismiss r1 having a LAM.

The r1s LAM sucks, for sure, but it evidently exists in some form.

As for it being a scam overall - I don’t see how they can offer ChatGPT for life with no subscription, so unless they have some other revenue stream they won’t be around for long.
I'd never heard of this. For those who are time-pressed it's "Cultural materialism as a literary critical practice—this article will not address its anthropological namesake—is a Marxist-inspired and mostly British approach to in particular Shakespeare and early modern English literature that emerged and became prominent in the 1980s. Its emphasis on the historical and material conditions of the production and reception of texts has remained influential, even if its political commitment and interventionist purposes have largely been abandoned and increasingly ignored."

Surely there are options other than Python, GDScript, C, C++, C# to consider before making a new language? E.g. GDScript is characterized as "GDScript has minimal tooling. Most of Rust's best lints and static analysis features are missing": well, a new language is going to miss all tooling. And how long did it take Rust to get to the point where it has its best lints and static analysis features?

OCaml could have done fine in that comparison, based on the critique provided. Also, I haven't tried Zig, but based on what I've read, I do believe it would have been worth an evaluation as well.
The statements will duck type to numbers so you could just be really silly and do something like:

The user experience of Linux fundamentally has not changed in 25 years.
Apple has had a decent shot, but their desktop seems to be rotting.

Your best bet is Ubuntu plus, but as another poster said, there is no support. There are no friendly call centers, it's a mass of agro and multiple paths of confusion when looking for a solution for a Linux problem online.
Linux is not a replacement, and it probably won't ever be. Ubuntu may come up with a snappy Linux distribution that distances itself enough from the chaos of choice, just like apple did, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I've seen this discussion for twenty years, and the conservative Linux base won't allow popularity.
To me, seems like this is what we describe today as a “comatose” state. Is the individual “brain dead” or did the person sustain so much damage that it required an “emergency brake”.

The body and mind is healing itself but today’s scientists and doctors cannot fully quantify it. Only using “primitive” tools (EEGs, CT, MRI) which only allow us to see through a tiny keyhole of what is a vast number of possibilities.

Exponential graphs do not have "a region in which it begins rapidly increasing." The differential of e^x is e^x! Across any range of x values, it's possible to choose a scale of y values that shows the classic shape of the exponential graph (ie, the hockey stick). If you then zoom into the flat part of the graph, and choose a different y scale, you'll see a bend there. If you zoom out and choose a different y scale, you'll see your previous bend as part of the flat part.

Unless there is a natural and obviously significant range of y values that, independent of the mathematical properties of the graph, is clearly what you actually care about, you can just make the "bend" in an exponential graph be anywhere you want it to be.

Here is the graph of e^x from 0 to 10, showing the "bend" is at around x = 7. https://www.google.com/search?q=graph+of+e%5Ex+from+0+to+10&...

And here is a graph of e^x from 0 to 100, showing the "bend" is at about 85: https://www.google.com/search?q=graph+of+e%5Ex+from+0+to+100...
> the genocide in Gaza is the most extreme stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure of the native Palestinians,

Hilarious considering every conflict has been started by Palestine. Ceasefires broken by Hamas on multiple occasions. And there’s no settler colonial process happening now or in the past.

But let’s continue to blame Israel when Hamas kills people trying to get food or supplies. Or blame Israel when Hamas fires its own rocket at a parking lot and claims 500 dead. Let’s blame Israel for trying to wipe out a terrorist organization that’s sole purpose is to wipe out the Jewish population and wipe Israel off the map.

While Israel is quite restrained. We will keep calling it genocide even tho ACTUAL genocide is happening every day in Iran and China and Africa. It’s fun to ignore what’s happening elsewhere so we can focus on Israel and making up things that aren’t happening.
Not everyone who gets this problem sues the okupas, since as it says this is a many-year complex legal process. I personally know multiple people who have had this problem, which suggest that it is probably MORE widespread than the data shows.

In the end there are two other big ways of dealing with it: paying the okupas to leave, or paying desokupados to get them out, where both of those ways would not be registered in those statistics.
How do they guarantee both deterministic results and parallelism?

The only reason that privacy issues exist online in the first place is the advertising business. The advertising business increases the costs of everything. So, enjoy your "free youtube videos" that contain advertisements for which you pay through the products you buy and are advertised. Privacy being "rich people's game" is BS because essentially everybody pays for the advertising costs in a rather horizontal fashion.

I do agree, well my boss would most likely never allow me to spend time on security until he got hit by "93 section questionnaire" from big co.

Once contract with big co was on the line I got permission to do security and do it good.

Even though 80% of questionnaire was not applicable it still did the good job.
Interesting point. I looked at the article again and noticed more signs of LLM composition: well-organized paragraphs of about equal length; a lack of specific examples, data, and quotations; and no errors or infelicities that would suggest human-written text.

I got something very similar by prompting ChatGPT-4o with “Write a five-paragraph news article in English about the rise of 'okupación' in Spain. Focus on the legal issues.”

One of those paragraphs: “The legal landscape surrounding ‘okupación’ is complex. Spanish law differentiates between two main types of property occupation: usurpation and trespassing. Usurpation, involving the illegal occupation of a property without violence, is often met with fines rather than immediate eviction, frustrating many property owners. Trespassing, on the other hand, which involves force or threats, is treated more severely but is harder to prove.”
Sure, but a lot of extra work for something like that.

I recognized from your comments that you were already familiar with the works of Edward Deci and just wanted to recommend this book as a must read for the "general public" who might be interested in the subject of Motivation and how best to cultivate it.

IMO in today's world, Deci's SDT on Intrinsic/Extrinsic Motivations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination_theory) and Gary Klein's NDM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_decision-making) and RPDM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition-primed_decision) should be a must study (just understanding the basics/overview is often enough) for everybody in any organization.

There is a talk by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) online by a researcher in this space, which is a pretty good introduction to the problem of stowage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ltz4G-lPdg

As somebody actively involved in the space, there are lots of ways you can make life easier for yourself. Planning in blocks per hatch cover, grouping containers by destination, size, and weight and treating those as mostly interchangeable are table stakes. You then want to send a plan from the ship to the terminal before start of operations, so the terminal can also optimize and shuffle given they know the position of containers in the yard.

Stowage planning is a lot easier if you decide you're going to ignore the details of each container and only occupy yourself with the groups. The end result is very similar for way less work, and you give a lot more flexibility to the terminal to optimize operations.
Depends on how technologically outmatched the opponent is. I.e. is this a vs China war ir a vs Taliban war.

OK, so imagine a world where traders don't just trade based on news and words, but based on price signals. They have bots sitting there waiting for some criteria only in the price of the target asset, and they're going to trade on that. Let's say you know about this and you know how to give them the signals they need to make their trades, so you do things to give those signals so you can profit on their activity.

This world is real and you live in it. Does giving a price signal to the market count as making a stock go up or down based on what you said?

Taken to it's natural conclusion, every decision every market participant makes affects the market, and every speculative participant uses these impacts as criteria for their decisions. To some degree, every single market participant, whether they want to or not, is doing both 1) impacting the market in some way, and 2) trying to find actions other people are taking that will impact the market that they can enter and benefit from. It's a big positive feedback loop. What you're talking about, taken to it's natural conclusion, is just banning trading.

Really that won't help. These kind of regulations have been tried in so many countries before and the result is always the same: cap the rents => landlords will take houses from the markets and sell them instead => there will be a shortage of properties for rent so finding them will be very hard, and the few landlords left will be extremely selective when choosing from the many candidates.

What does help: increase the supply. Make it easier to build or let houses by reducing bureaucracy, invest in housing projects etc.
AAA can make use of beefy GPUs, but equally it can run on more pedestrian hardware.

If AAA games sold only to those with desktops and high end graphics cards, PC gaming would have died a long time ago. Even today, many games run fine on Pascal era graphics cards, and they certainly run fine on mid range laptop versions of Nvidias 4050 & 4060.

Apples silicon can keep up with those, plus the simpler, less diverse hardware on Mac would probably lead to better optimisation if the market was big enough.

I'm not saying Vulkan is the only thing holding gaming from Apple computers, because I think the control Apple has over software distribution on Mac is also something that scares large publishers away from investing in the platform.
Many countries especially in continental Europe have strong pro-tenant rights. Often the rent contract cannot be terminated by the landlord, only by the tenant, which can make it more profitable to leave property empty vs renting it out. (When a tenant-occupied property is sold, the new owner in some countries cannot terminate an existing rent contract, which makes the property less valuable on the market vs empty properties.)
