>you have to state what the punk element is first

I think they get to that in the first third of the essay.

>just like how comedy doesn't age well because it's the dissonance of a cultural moment, cyberpunk was a response to a fin de siecle period just before the tension and uncertainty about computers resolved into our present experience of tech.

I don't know, I think the consensus is that ours is in fact the realization of many critical themes of cyberpunk, so it is now at its apex of relevance to our present moment, as it is effectively an anticipation of and criticism of it. And it turned out to be interestingly predictive, and that opens a million interesting conversations about why it was predictive.

>what's changed is (cyber)punk was a set of symbols and representations[...]

I don't know that I've ever encountered such a roller coaster of a paragraph. Cyberpunk was a "set of symbols and representations"? I mean, maybe, maybe not, but we just read a whole essay about it, and it doesn't talk that way and in fact identifies entirely different things, so what happened to those, and it's not clear what you mean, and you're not necessarily wrong but there are other equally true things to say of it. In short: ...wha???

You contrast cyberpunk to DIY which is never a contrast I've encountered before, and seems like a crossing of dissimilar categories, like comparing mice to nostalgia. I can't follow the thing about self-imposed constraints or how those were "honest" (huh?) signals of heroism or needing to be an amputee to be a punk? Replacement constraint? Plumage? We're not even on Mars at this point, we're the Voyager I.

>by now it's probably a set of tropes that form a fantasy genre.

And somehow the plane lands on a coherent point, that amazingly, I find myself agreeing with. It really is at essence a style or a group of tropes at this point equivalent to fantasy genre tropes.
It's statically ensured, the same way I can trust if you generate a Bitcoin address right now it won't have a few thousand bitcoins in it.

Most programs end up with some limitation on the number of threads they can reasonably used. When you have a lot less Cores than that SMT makes a lot of sense to better utilise the resources of the CPU. However once you get to the point where you have enough cores SMT no longer makes any sense. I am not convinced we are necessarily there yet but the P/E cores Intel are using are an alternative towards a similar goal and makes a lot of sense on the desktop given how many workloads are single/low threaded. I can see the value in not having to deal with SMT and E core distinctions in application optimisation.

AMD on the other hand intends to keep mostly homogenous cores for now and continue to use SMT. I doubt its going to be simple to work out which strategy in practice is the best, its going to vary widely by application.

I got my HAM license in the USA a while ago. I'm in it mainly for the emergency communications side of things: I live in a coastal community in California with three roads in and out, all three of which can be affected by affected by storms, earthquakes etc.

I've joined ARES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_Radio_Emergency_Servic... - which coordinates to provide HAM support for emergency communications. If a big earthquake temporarily disables a chunk of communications infrastructure I can hopefully be useful!

Hi! I'm readthenotes. I preferred renting for ease of mobility and avoiding buying during a housing bubble.

In my area, there is significant financial friction in house transactions. It takes living in the house at least 2 years to soak those costs (having done it twice).

In one of those houses, I got another year with two 6 month rentals, both to people relocating who didn't want to be forced to buy immediately (I believe the first person wanted to save up money before buying his Permanent home and the other just wanted time to get used to the new city).

In my own rental situation, I thoroughly enjoyed the flexibility of a low friction end to my residence.

We will probably never meet in person, but I believe there are plenty like me.
just to add on, it is routine to hear crime statistics reported as "crime rates"

it's still true that crime rates might be higher when people are close to each other because "rural serial killers need comparatively a lot more travel time," but still, the idea of weighing crime statistics to make statistical sense of them is pretty well established.

Won't LLM businesses steal this SEO attempt in an instant?

More likely, keep that know-how as a black box service, maybe with some IT automation.

For advertising that with SEO, you could make the SEO text LLM-aware, and lean harder on not just providing enough information for someone reading it to think "these people seem to know what they're talking about; I should give them my business", but crafting the article in such a way that the desired conclusion is preserved in the output of the robo-plagiarist.
I have very rarely run into the situation where I have put too much polishing into a piece of software to the point where its had a material impact on the project. However the opposite where there is pressure to rush and push out something that isn't really ready has been a very common problem to have to manage.

I think we see the results of rushing in all the software around us much more than we see the delays of perfectionism.
That depends. Shipping too much too fast without making the base that can handle it properly results in a ton of tech debt that will bite you in the end one way or another. So there must be some balance about it.

The "we'll fix it later" turning into "no one ever fixed it" is way too common of a pitfall.

REPL-driven development keeps me in the flow. I can write (and test) multiple different approaches to a problem in J or K before I can finish typing the first approach in C++. And that's not even counting time and context switching costs of compiling and running the C++ code.

Lisps and Smalltalk also have repl-oriented development, but they're verbose. Even tab-selecting a Copilot generated autocomplete takes more keystrokes than some array language programs.

> This isn't entirely logical. Companies also spend millions to fight off patent trolls, but that doesn't naturally lead to the conclusion that you should team up with the trolls or that patent law doesn't need to be reformed after all. Something can be bad for you and bad for the company, so evidence of harm to the company is not sufficient to prove benefit to you.

The difference is that companies don't often claim patent trolls are good and then turn around and fight them.

Measurement of earthquakes is susceptible. If there's extra reasons to pay attention to and record earthquakes, that could easily influence the development of measurement technology, which would change the historical record of earthquake data.
Content marketing isn't just about search. It's about putting things out that people want to read, or want to share, or use as a reference, with their general awareness of your site coming alongside that. Sure, if it's SEO'd that can be nice, but SEO is competitive - really good content often isn't, especially when that content comes from your own unique areas of expertise.

Our blog's been on the front page here twice in the last two months. Once [1] was me posting, but the posted blog did not directly pitch my company at all - it was just an interesting retrospective about what I learned at my last one. The other blog post [2] was explicitly about us, but it was posted organically (I was actually asleep at the time and woke up to a bunch of slack alerts). Neither has been searched for very much, nor do I expect they will be in the near future - but they did bring in hundreds of signups and a dozen high-intent inbound calls, which is more than enough to make them successful from a marketing perspective.

For comparison, a decent client call would take many, many hours of manual outreach, meaning that each of those posts was the equivalent of months of grindy, spammy, demoralizing labor on my part even if we set aside all the engineers they brought in.

Love seeing these creative ideas using LLMs to solve existing problems - however small the problem may be.

I also have many ideas similar to this using LLMs. They're not money makers. But they do solve personal problems for me. However, my ideas are usually bottlenecked by context size, $/token, or models not being capable enough. Luckily, all 3 are improving at an incredible pace.

>Randomness introduces inefficiency which implies delay

That assumes that the previous arrangement, in the form of sequential escalation, was a pre-existing state of nature that came at no cost of effort. And that randomness has to be introduced after the fact, at a new and extra cost.

But I think if cases were ordered without any specifically intended sequence of any kind, that starting point would be closer to randomness than the currently existing escalation. So randomness would cost less, not more.

No, it's not like that: generate a random Bitcoin address and it's practically guaranteed that it will be empty. But in this case, if the time traveler picks a random key for their secret, it's equally likely that it gets brute forced on the first attempt as it is the trillionth attempt. There's no statistical guarantee except that on average it will take a certain number of attempts.

It's a student's side project, with the tagline "Your Source for Academic Satire", with a basic one-liner prompt textbox. No one's expecting this to disrupt the academic world or whatever. The author (a college student) doesn't advertise this to be "the world's most advanced academic scientific rigorous paper generator", of course it's going to hook into GPT for content.

You don't have to like the project or think it's interesting, but problems with ChatGPT output are already apparent and well-known so I'm not sure what your comment adds.

What are you talking about?

In C++ you have ASIO (Boost) that’s mostly used for IPC but can be used as a general purpose async event queue. There is io_uring support too. You can sit a pool of threads as the consumers for events if you want to scale.

C++ has had a defacto support for threads for ages (Boost) and it has been rolled into the standard library since 2011.

If you’re using compute clusters you also have MPI in Boost. That’s a scatter/gather model.

There’s also OpenMP to parallelize loops if you’re so inclined.
>Vs: Officer A cases, 8-12p Officer B cases, 1-4p

But that's not how it's currently done (at least I don't think and nobody in the comments or article is suggesting so), and escalation in severity doesn't have anything to do with officers or with how efficient you are with officer time.

Pointing out the reality isnt 'telling what to do'. And France isnt in a position anyway to do that, since they have the exact same problem as the US.
Statistically? With that analogy, you'd design a crypto algorithm that, on average, gets cracked on the desired date to guess the wallet with a few thousand bitcoins. You still have the problem that (1) guessing it right on that desired date, (2) guessing it right today, and (3) guessing it right on
a day 42 times the amount of time as the desired date, all have exactly equal probability. You don't get to pick from infinite timelines to make your plot work, you get 1 try, and need to be somewhat sure it'll work on that date. It might not be possible. Unless you time travel and just hand them the information.

Abiogenesis is accepted, sure, but whether it constitutes an example of emergence isn't clear, at least by the definition I gave above, which is about supervenience. If you think that life is just chemistry which is just physics then life does not emerge from physics, it simply is physics and one needs only understand physics to understand life. If, on the other hand, you think that life has dynamical structures which are independent from and could not be predicted by someone who knew only the laws of physics, then it is a genuine case of emergence.

If you use "emergence" to mean "complicated stuff in a simple system" then I guess it is emergence, but that definition is philosophically useless or at the very least uncontroversial. It's trivially clear simple rules give rise to complex behaviors at this point. The question is the causal role of the roughly conserved elements of the complex system in question.
>It may be yet another disaster but let's not downplay what created an actual disaster

What created the "actual disaster" is a totally different set of events, to go into here, but the start is the gradual de-inudstrialization through EU imposed mandates and "five year plans", imposed across the periphery, for the benefit of German and (to a lesser degree) French exports.

It's probably not great as a mass screening technique, at least as described - it has a roughly 90% positive predictive value in a population already screened by experiencing cognitive decline.

Depends on who's calling the shots. Last few years dev market was so crazy management walked on eggshells to avoid pissing off engineers in most places I've worked at. As a result I've seen plenty of situations where abstractions and tech choices lead to delivery delays and business impact - followed by engineers responsible scramming for next position with latest buzzwords added to CV.

Thankfully the market correction made this much less of an issue.
The more generic although potentially harder question is without the time traveler element what could you do today to make sure something could not be decrypted before a certain date. This seems potentially useful but also every bit as tricky to answer especially since we don't know what the future entails unlike a time traveller.

> The data going into each "mailbox" either needs to be immutable, or deep copied to be thread safe

Or moved. The mailbox/process pattern works great in Rust because you can simply move ownership of a value. Kind of like if in C you send the pointer and then delete your copy.

Of course doing this across threads doesn't work with every type of value (what Rust's type system encodes as a value being `Send`). For example you can't send a reference-counted value if the reference counter isn't thread-safe. But that's rarely an issue and easily solved with a good type system.
