> They do it less than if it were not taxes.

Do you have any evidence of that whatsoever? I've never heard anyone say, "Well, I would build an extension to my house, but that would raise my property taxes."

> One example are vacant lots which are held only for speculation.

Do you think that if there were no property taxes, all these speculators would suddenly decide to build things on the property? The whole point of speculation is to make money with a minimum of cost and effort, both up-front and ongoing. Building something on an empty property increases all of those.

This is a really hard problem in supply chains, it is not like buyers wouldn't change supplier if they knew about the abuses it is just that it is VERY expensive and time consuming to have proper traceability of everything in your supply chain.

At the end of the day it is one very busy person putting purchase orders to some other very busy people. All of them on tight KPIs for their bonuses until eventually it gets to the production site and oops, child labor.

To be honest this problem needs to be fixed top-down through international standards and institutions to ensure proper traceability. Leaving to each company to do it on their own and to country regulations is just stupid and counterproductive.

Hum... I do not use Jupyter and co BUT I have my configs and various personal stuff in org-mode/org-bable witch is a kind of notebook and my desktop boot to Emacs, who not retain state but it's still a live environment and it's flexibility and user-programmability with ease are it's strongest points.

So well... Writing in org-mode makes me waste a bit of time but produce much clearer designs because I do not design in code but in natural language and if the narrative is suboptimal is immediately clear, also it proper document the code non with comments but with complete human language. The downside it's that's very time consuming and I do loose some coding helpers that can't work much in babel blocks instead of full source files.

So well, for me such interaction is the most powerful UI we have, the best human-computer interface so far, the default go-to solution for any day-to-day work. A project could be an independent entity but still the day-to-day work born and evolve like that, so I'm not agreeing much, notebooks are not quick&dirty stuff but a tool to reason and reasoning often take much more time than directly write code, if you are disciplined. On contrary might disperse you if you are in "silicon valley mode". This is probably than main point not of the tool, but of the human using it: how many are constantly in Silicon Valley mode vs in Donald Knuth mode?
Recently (before the Microsoft recall announcement) I created a keylogger that logs all keystrokes, mouse position as well as window system specific things such as focused window etc.

My idea was to be able to eventually use that data to train some AI with that data and to e.g. pick up on my different writing styles in a document editor, terminal etc.
The other problem with the charging networks is that each country has its own charing companies doing their own thing with their own apps and payment solutions. Even though I've never driven in Poland or Lithuania, I'm very confident I can work out how to pay for petrol at any petrol station I stop at there. I have no idea if I could actually charge my car at any charging station I roll up to. The last thing I need when on a road trip is to pull up to a charging station somewhere in Lithuania with 8% left and find out I need an app that cannot be installed on a UK phone.

I wonder if we have numbers of Neovim adoption in its stated goal of being embedded. From what I've seen, adoption for this goal is SUPER low.

Sure, there are tons of projects that seem to do something in this area. But most of them seem immature, "a single dev worked on them for a bunch of months as a hobby project and then abandoned them" kind of thing.

For example I don't think anyone's making any kind of commercial IDE embedding Neovim. Or at least some type of lifestyle business like Sublime Text.

The type of thing where people "put their money where their mouth is".

At the top nodes and volumes, indeed there is no competition. They have a huge headstart handed to them basically by Japan screwing it up in the 90s and no one else being able to step (get it?) up quickly before the gap opened.

However, if they can't keep moving, competition that was trailing behind on larger nodes could get close enough that they become competitors for the high end. At first it would be slightly bigger nodes, but cheaper, which might be an acceptable tradeoff, as not everyone in the world is chasing performace over price. CPUs are so gruesomely overpowered these days that it may not really matter that much in many end applications.

Think AMD coming up behind Intel while Intel was thrashing around.

How long the AI hype continues may be important: if AI capabilities are needed in end-user equipment and that requires the real cutting edge processes, ASML/TSMC keep the advantage.

I wrote a small novel but lost it due to user error, so here's a hot take with much less nuance from a college math professor. Just like calculators meant we needed and could pivot the skills we ask our students to learn, AI will also shift the paradigm. But unlike calculators, which are very good at what they're meant to do, AI produces BS in the academic sense [0] and if used uncritically frequently produces work that's just nonsense. So I tell students I don't care so much if they use it, but that the students who do tend to end up looking foolish.

> why are we paying these taxes?

you can always try to build your own country in your own land and see how it goes.
Having traveled widely in three of the four most populous countries I’m a bit dubious of this claim. Having decent 4G in the middle of nowhere in India or Indonesia is pretty standard these days. I haven’t been to Africa, but a quick search suggests more than two thirds of the population of the continent has 4G coverage, and more than 80% has 3G. Where are these huge numbers of people on 2G?
y'all missing the forest for the tree in the comments.

yeah you can pick examples where this doesn't make sense. but at least it allows to.

with profit focused, we know there's also counter examples, but there the chance of having any positive impact is zero.
No they meant apprenticeship in the sense that a senior engineer can only come from working as a junior engineer.

The only thing worse than never hiring any junior engineers is hiring them into an awful experience where they can’t learn anything.

No? It's not like the vagrants will disappear if you don't build an housing lot. They'll just exist not in your backyard and continue to be an overall issue. That's the definition of NIMBY
"the entirety of human output" is doing a lot of heavy-lifting.

Niche topics? Existing LLMs are crap.

Things people think it is actually knowledgeable about? Also crap.

Glue on your pizza? Recommending the user to kill themselves? The code output is equally tragic, but most people are bad devs, so can't see the shortcomings.

You're talking about the "next level" for humans—it's a next-word prediction model. It can't reason or do useful things. Overhyped. This is the same nonsensical rhetoric people here spouted over crypto.
When I said "Harder for humans, but easy to make a really strong AI for this." I was not referring to the modern meaning of the word 'AI' with GPTs, transformers, neural nets and whatnot, I was referring to the traditional meaning of the word, which is a machine observing its environment (the probabilistic tic-tac-toe board) and making decisions (which move should I make?) to achieve a goal within this environment (winning the game).

Also note that in "make a really strong AI for this" AI is not a tool, it is the end-result. It is the agent that plays the game. I never said "solve with AI".

The article adresses this. The value of land you tax is not the sale value, but the productive value of the land.

So the sale value drops, but the assesed value doesn't, and the raised taxes also remain fixed.
Well to be pedantic, with all the money in the world you wouldn't be working for Ikea and the problem wouldn't exist so really that's a problem also solved by money...

Generally though higher paid employees tend to have more sway within a company structure and likely don't need to miss these important events, the win here is that something that was generally true for mid management up for most companies now extends down through all the ranks.
Thanks for posting the article.

Some predictions in the article:

1. Partial client side execution of the models, then main model execution in cloud. (Example: text encoder for Stable Diffusion runs local, UNet runs cloud)

2. Local LoRAs for “dynamic ML”

3. WebGPU will be new standard to unlock models in the web

Even though the article had some good calculations and overview, I am not sure word-for-word is how I would describe its relationship to the OP.

Money. They are making money. That's what it is, and you know it.
I feel like this is some sort of biased perception. I suppose most people who are interested enough in technology to talk about smartphone choices are also somewhat interested in this AI craze. However, most people probably aren’t that interested in technology.

I still know more people who don’t use ChatGPT on a semi-regular basis than people who do. Most people’s phone choices come down to:

1) is it available in a color I like

2) is the camera any good

3) can I afford it

I understand where you're coming from - poor support experiences are are the bane of my existence.

Preventing poor support experiences is the exact reason we started Fini. With a long career as a software engineer in the support industry, I have seen first hand when and why these initiatives fail.

Unfortunately, when growth-stage companies experience a surge of signups, they face the choice between either 1) delay responding to all support issues by weeks, due to lack of staffing, or 2) trying to automate/offshore support, leading to poor coverage and accuracy.

Both of these options usually lead to horrendous support experiences such as the ones you mention.

Thankfully, with recent advances such as LLMs, we are one step closer to bridging this gap. In our most successful projects we are able to reach 95% accuracy specifically thanks to keeping a close eye on human evaluations.

That's why we are launching this package as well, which we believe brings us one step closer towards our mission of helping millions of end-users receive the high quality support they deserve within seconds rather than weeks.

It's a challenge which very few (if any!) companies have pulled off well, which is why we have decided to put all our effort into making scalable and hassle-free support our first priority.
Yes, especially when you multi-search and open links in background, only to see a bunch of homepages later and no way to restore search context to try searching it deeper. And then there are “special” sites that redirect to google.com.

To be honest, a big part of it is likely because every other publication also uses ads for monetisation, and users have been trained to expect content for free with ads.

So you then have an issue; if you charge for your work in some other way, and people can find roughly the same information elsewhere on an ad supported website...

Then most of them will go with the ad supported free option instead. Likely enough of them in fact that your work isn't sustainable.

It's the same issue as with mobile apps and games; because most of those are 'free' and supported by ads and microtransactions, consumers have come to expect all apps to be free and supported by ads and microtransactions. Anyone who tries to actually build a paying audience finds its not enough to make a difference, like Nintendo did with Super Mario Run.

To add to this, it's also likely because the level of competition is so high, and free options are so high quality. For 99% of topics you could originally cover in a paid for magazine or book, there are wikis, volunteer run websites and YouTube channels covering said topic. To justify a paid publication about a topic like this, you'd have to do better than them in a meaningful way, which is not exactly an easy task.

> but to have different providers which are in competition

it never worked in practice though.

> has a monopoly but is exempt from antitrust laws

because it does a mediocre job at many things, making it quite easy to compete against it when and if it's worth it, but provides those things no private entity would, because it's anti-economical.

> - BPF maps being broken because someone at Mediatek ran some proprietary static analyser and blindly pushed some fix

Technically this one would possibly not be in Fuchsia, though Google let OEMs put so many hooks everywhere in the system that tbh it would still be possible to do this kind of fuckups

> - Camera only works properly in the OEM app

Fuchsia or not, if Google allows OEMs to add custom vendor calls from OEM app to camera driver, then OEM will still be allowed to do that. They could already forbid it in Android and choses not to.

> - GL drivers are upgraded once every blood moon and very OEM has its custom GL version

GL has nothing to do with the OS, GL vendors pretty much ship the same GL across all OS

> - Treble doesn't break because Samsung decided that mount loops were dangerously insecure at a time it wasn't required

This would definitely still happen (in other ways), by all the hooks that Google leave to OEMs to implement their own security systems (and Samsung is the company who brought SELinux in Android, so even though they do a lot of shit, let's not completely ignore them)

> - You don't need to keep workarounds for mainline kernels that you can't upgrade, because Google/Android forbids you to upgrade your kernel [1]

This one, ironically, would STILL HAPPEN, at least if we extrapolate how Android team work. When building Android from main, you get 10000 as SDK version number to explicitly mention that this is a development tree not to be used.

Fuchsia theoretical advantage should be that one will be able to upgrade the kernel without upgrading the drivers. But again let's extrapolate what Android team does: They create new API versions every year or more, and PLAN THE OBSOLESCENCE of those API versions within 3 years. So currently when an OEM write their drivers, they get kernel security patches for 6 years after the release of the "original" kernel of that version. With Fuchsia you get down to 3 years.

I want to re-iterate that even though from that perspective, ChromeOS' approach is ideal, it has issues wrt innovation. I believe that the ideal situation is an open but centralized approach like what we have currently with DKMS on GNU/Linux distributions. Except let it focus on LTS Linux kernel versions, and have flags on the DKMS to allow switching to newer LTS. Here "open" doesn't necessarily mean community-led. It can be very well just be that each vendor is responsible for its own product. So like Mali is responsible for their mali kernel driver, BOE is responsible for their panel driver, etc...
> The plastic straw that the EU just outlawed would never have ended up in the ocean.

A significant amount of plastic straws and bottle caps actually did up at least in the rivers - a single look at how the Isar in Munich looks after a party summer night is enough evidence - and what enters the Isar, Danube or any other river will eventually end up in the ocean or get stuck in a major lake where it degrades, gets eaten by fish and then ends up in humans when we eat the fish.

Metal bottle caps can at least be fished out by magnets and recycled, but there's no way to capture plastic particles yet.

And that does not take into account all the plastics trash that gets shipped overseas to some piss poor Asian or African country, where it gets sorted, and all the refuse just gets dumped on some landfill where it eventually gets washed into the ocean by rainfall, or it gets incinerated where it creates absurdly toxic combustion products.
Just as an opposing anecdote, when I was doing CS at uni the group project, which was randomly allocated, was just as bad and this was 20 years ago. Only one other person in my group could coherently program and he was shit. So I did all the code. It was isolating in that situation too. Gpt might not be a factor, it's just the flavour of the moment.

I was a bad student because I didn't need to try. Those few of my peers who did try and were good just blew it out the park because the competition was abysmal. This was a uni in the UK with a fairly well respected CS department at the time.
Your equation fails to take into account what the original article (before I notified the author, who kindly responded and shouted out my blog without even asking for it) also failed to take into account.
