Most of the assumptions made in economic models conceal sources of profit.

Hi @Terretta, I plan to generate OpenAPI output for HTTP clients like Postman to import and read. We have things like FastAPI, Starlet, pedantic, sqlmodel and Postgres in Teo. The only thing we lack of is the debugger web interface which we could use Postman after exporting OpenAPI output is implemented.

The logfire is pretty cool and in the future, it will be implemented in Teo's way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_representation_theorem

"In economics, a utility representation theorem asserts that, under certain conditions, a preference ordering can be represented by a real-valued utility function, such that option A is preferred to option B if and only if the utility of A is larger than that of B."

You may challenge the assumptions but otherwise it's mathematics.

I've asked Claude-opus to find vulnerabilities in well known code bases and explain what the bug is and what code change should be used to fix it. So far it has identified issues that are technically correct but aren't actually an issue within the larger context of the how the code is used. That said, I'm pretty sure I could find vulnerabilities by using Claude-opus as first pass filter to find problem areas.

ChatGPT broke a cryptographic protocol I wrote[0]. I convinced myself ChatGPT was wrong about the attack until a human cryptographer pointed the same attack out [1].

"The protocol you described appears to be a variant of the Schnorr signature scheme, with a zero-knowledge proof of knowledge of the signature. However, this specific variant does not provide security against forgery attacks by the prover.

The reason for this is that the prover can choose a random value r and compute w = r^e mod N, without actually computing the signature sig = h(m)^d mod N. Then, the prover can simply choose zksig = w and publish (w, zksig, m) as the proof. Since zksig = w^d mod N = r^(ed) mod N, it satisfies the verification equation zksig^e mod N = h(m)*w mod N, even though it is not a valid signature for the message m."

This is basically a variation on tragedy of the commons. The solution is right there in front of everyone and "simply" requires everyone to do it coordinately.
I've told this solution to numerous people, just log onto your bank website and click "dispute" and thats it you are done. Nope, they either don't believe me or are afraid of doing it because "banks". They continue to just allow crappy businesses to effectively steal their money or they waste time with a 45min customer service call.

Its the same with many other things like simply boycotting an abusive business. People say starbucks is bad. All that is required to "destroy" starbucks is simply go to any of the dozens of local coffee shops that exist everywhere for a month instead. That would make the heads spin/roll at the C-level at starbucks but still no one does it.
Since 2016, real (inflation-adjusted) wages have risen quickly for people in the bottom quartile, while for upper-income workers they've been stagnant.

It's about as close to impossible as you can get. If you tried to do it in the womb, too much deviation from a regular human fetus won't be carried to term. If you try to do it after growth plates have closed, you'd have to destroy every bone in the body first, which would kill you. That gives you some kind of post-birth, pre-puberty window over which some sufficient level of body remodeling can at least happen in principle, but you seem to be underestimating the level of remodeling to do this. You'd need to drastically reduce bone density, which would leave you extremely susceptible to injury. You'd have to undo human adaptations in the spine and pelvis for upright posture, which would be extremely painful. You'd need to effectively swap out the glutes with pecs and undo the adaptations for brachiating arms. Things like your eyes and ears and basic breathing apparatus are not well-adapted for flight. Things like where blood and lymph and other bodily fluids tend to pool in the human body versus where they do in the bodies of flying animals. Just as laying down for too much time will cause it to pool in places your body can't easily clear right now, being horizontal for flight would have the same effect.

It's not just a matter of growing wings. And yeah, the energy demands of making all these changes, as others have pointed out. The only kinds of animals that go through this level of non-fetal metamorphosis are insects with weights measured in the tens of grams, energy needs that kind be sustained by something like a cocoon. How would you meet the energy demands of an adult human going through metamorphosis? You couldn't do it by eating, not only because your gut can't actually digest the amount of food you'd need (you don't have an elephant gut) but also simply because being conscious through the process, unlike insects in a cocoon, would be so absurdly painful that I doubt you'd be able to function and do anything at all, let alone spend all of your time finding and eating food. You'd need to be put into a medical coma and injected with intravenous nutrients to have any shot at all.

Why on earth would we ever try this? In reality, giving yourself genes to grow wings would just kill you.

Look at this picture from Wikipedia showing Argentavis side by side with a human: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentavis#/media/File:62628-A...

What sorts of processes do you imagine are necessary to stretch the human body to the size of the Argentavis body without adding any weight? It'd be like getting flattened by a steam roller, then drawn and quartered. Bodily tissue isn't balloons.

Haha, I guess everyone downvoting my comment is sore that they don't live in London proper!

Otherwise, I'm not sure why so many people have downvoted a comment pointing out that an article talking about roads in London is excluding on a technicality the roads in Central London that fulfil the criteria (the technicality being that they were renamed to include a determinant precisely because it was confusing) but includes roads that are only considered as being in London if you think everything inside the M25 is London. And yet, these weren't renamed because they weren't in Central London and so weren't deemed to be in conflict with each other. The residents in many of these places would consider them to be towns in their own right, and not in fact part of London.

Yes a van is all you need for that. To say you don’t need dualies at all is a joke. What happens is that the dualies are used for heavy equipment but then they double as a vehicle for employees and are given to them as a perk. As such dualies are seen driving around without “being used” or sitting in driveways of McMansions. But thats simply because it’s used as a perk for employees.

> One of Words big issues is that very few people know how to use it. It's such a massive program, with an absolutely insane feature set.

This seems equally applicable to LaTeX, though, at least once you start adding in a handful of modules. Like with Word, most people I know seem to learn the subset of LaTeX that solves their immediate problems, and then have to Google random snippets for anything outside of that range. You say people have templates that they've used with no changes for the last 20 years, but in my experience that's because they don't remember how half the things they put in there work, and so any change would take days to implement.

I think LaTeX is a great example of the difference between inherent complexity and added complexity in software development. Typesetting is an inherently complex problem, and LaTeX is excellent in that solves this problem very well, although to a certain extent users of LaTeX will always need to understand that complexity somewhat - it is inherent in the problem they are dealing with. But it also creates added complexity by providing this solution in the form of the TeX language and the various macros and components that make up LaTeX. This added complexity is not needed to solve the inherently complex core task, but the best tool to solve the inherently complex task includes this added complexity.

I don't mean this comment to be a defence of Word, which has its own issues. And I love reading a well-typeset document, and LaTeX does an excellent job of that. But it is also the sort of software that is long overdue a replacement.
Well I initially thought the same thing (as some rando who put negligible thought or research into it). Then it was pointed out by a science youtuber that mass migration of people is a problem, which I promptly ignored.

However upon reflection, suppose the population of Mexico did try to go north due to drought. Mexico outnumbers the US army by 126:1, so it's definitely not something to dismiss out-of-hand. Also a lot of manufacturing is done there.

So it may not be a "die of heat" type existential threat for people in North America, but it seems plausible that a collapse of the system type existential threat is possible.

The issue with awk is that there are multiple non-interoperable implementations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK#Versions_and_implementatio...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40409632/what-is-the-dif...

This makes awk scripts less portable than other text processing tools.

awk is also not extensible--it can be awkward (heh) to adapt it to some problems and big scripts get difficult to wrangle.

awk is great if your text processing problem is small.

Sometimes small problems grow in which case Perl tends to be a better choice:

https://www.perl.com/article/perl-one-liners-part-2/

People love to hate perl, but there is a reason why it was installed on all Unix and Linux systems by default and was so popular for web servers on the early Internet (e.g. Apache mod_perl and perl mason).
What's probably true is that between the current market (at least in tech), automated application systems (and, yes, LLMs) of various kinds, etc. companies are just being flooded by applications. They can (and do) various things--lean very hard into referrals, randomly throw half the applications into the trash, etc. But at least one not totally irrational filter is a 10 second credentials check--which is at least objective assuming the person isn't lying. Why not take advantage of a lot of admissions office effort?

At the same time, I can remember the day when certain credentials were non-negotiable and this is probably still true to a certain degree in fields like Big Law and management consulting.
