Not sure if good faith is good enough to get me rate-undelimited, but here goes (:

[e.g. Maxwell's] Ratchets are part of the firmware debug, ideally a debug should be irreversible, yes?

Sorry about the TUFs, it was a lagniappe for gvicino (--assuming you've already seen my previous rant on it.) some (most?) have the form of a reverse rachet: discontinuity+monotonic. I surmise that it would be a good entity with which to model complexodynamic (economic) agents ("peers") trying to debug (cooperate with) one another.

(Each assuming an epsilon of bad faith in the other peers?)

EDIT: main problem with today's deployment finance ("VC"): it monotonically moves complexity/brittleness (eg cloud is arguably simpler than locally-served wares as a business model, but not as a technology) -- but not S-Sophistication.

The lust for funding software comes from the seduction of centralized simplification. The business of deploying atoms has no moat besides the violent one.

> Coding AI can write tests, write code, compile, examine failed test cases, search for different coding solutions that satisfy more test cases or rewrite the tests, all in an unsupervised loop. And then whole process can turn into training data for future AI coding models.

This is interesting, but doesn't it still need supervision? Why wouldn't it generate tests for properties you don't want? It seems to me that it might be able to "fill in gaps" by generalizing from "typical software", like, if you wrote a container class, it might guess that "empty" and "size" and "insert" are supposed to be related in a certain way, based on the fact that other peoples' container classes satisfy those properties. And if you look at the tests it makes up and go, "yeah, I want that property" or not, then you can steer what it's doing, or it can at least force you to think about more cases. But there would still be supervision.

Ah -- here's an unsupervised thing: Performance. Maybe it can guide a sequence of program transformations in a profile-guided feedback loop. Then you could really train the thing to make fast code. You'd pass "-O99" to gcc, and it'd spin up a GPU cluster on AWS.

It is deeply flawed - all analogies are to some extent or another - the point still correlates with observable facts. Both systems require energy to function, removal of energy causes both systems to stop producing observable functions, and there is nothing observable that would indicate either system transfers it's functions into another state where those functions continue.
It also killed other people.

My eyes get inflamed just reading the word, wondering where it could have come from.
For "just" the back-end I was thinking the instruction count overhead would outweigh the gain. That is you'd get less effective instruction cache and require far more decoding units from all the instructions required to fill all those ALUs.

So yea, that's why I was imagining an ISA where you'd have instructions that were 1, 2, 4 etc wide, encoded in the instruction. You'd only need two bits for up to 2^4=16 wide instructions.

Of course could be I am terribly mistaken, I'm by no means an expert in this.
It's not an abused substance, it's violence.
> “I don’t know why Samsung insists on charging so much for service parts,” Wiens says, visibly frustrated. “The prices that we see are out of line with what we know components actually cost to manufacture.” Wiens starts to elaborate but stops himself. He clarifies that he would love to discuss this more, but his contract with Samsung prevents him from doing so.

I mean, it's pretty easy to guess:

They want to run the spare parts division at a profit, they know they've got no competition (except used parts off recycled phones) and like some car makers, they know that means they can charge through the nose.

Wikipedia tells me [1] Samsung released 17 distinct model numbers in 2023, and 30 in 2022. Presumably a lot of those have custom, nonstandard screens with rounded corners and curved edges and camera notches and folding and fingerprint readers and whatnot. So presumably the minimum order quantity is huge - they can't just hold a few spare screens and make more on demand, they probably have to buy (and pay for) several years of spares upfront.

And of course every phone will have multiple parts, different subassemblies (do you want to order the screen with or without the fingerprint reader?) and maybe different colour schemes as well. And any spare parts you make and don't sell are wasted.

So it's very easy for a spare parts division to be very inefficient, if it's not well managed. If they're determined to run the division at a profit - that inefficiency gets passed right along to the end user.

I am a german citizen and I always wondered why people hate SO MUCH on that system. Yes, there might be some corrupt people that give themselves too much pocket money, but overall the system works really good.

I didn't stop reading news, but I mostly stopped reading news that are not funded by the "Rundfunkbeitrag", because the funded news organizations are encouraged to be rather neutral and they don't use that much weird rhetoric. All the other private news companies are just trying to clickbait with stupid headlines.
> taxpayers need to contribute a fee (but not a tax, to avoid government interference)

The fee instead of tax isn't to avoid political interference. It's for fee stability, without cuts whenever the budget is tight.

Politicians/the government meddle all the time. The governing body of the public broadcasters has about a third of its members from the government (the rest is the churches and certain social and political associations).

Is it the simplest explanation? Already by suggesting consciousness ceases to exist we're suggesting a change in state, and a simpler explanation would be that there is no change in state - consciousness, more simply, continues to exist.

For your second point, there is a way to prove that consciousness exists - by proving the impossibility of the contrary. If consciousness does not exist in a non-physical space, the very possibility of knowledge at all becomes impossible to reckon with. We could not have any interaction with metaphysical ideas like logic, reason, mathematics and so on. Logic is not present in the material world, yet it is universally applicable to all objects. Mathematical prototypes (eg. The number 7) cannot be found in the particles that make up the physical universe, yet they are found in all objects and are present and graspable in all minds. If the mind was purely matter, these fundamental building blocks for knowledge itself would be inaccessible.

For your 3rd point - I think you are correct. We have no way of knowing exactly what an after life might look like.

Yes, but that is irrelevant. Change happens, even if you can't recognize it. Recognizing change is a shortterm-problem. But longterm it can be relevant, if the particle some day will break down, disappear, burn out, or whatever happens to them.

> I think not consuming news is not a reasonable approach in our day and age

On the one hand, I agree that it’s necessary to be informed to some degree.

On the other, I think this can be done without consuming the news the way most people do, i.e. the daily dose and certainly the sensationalized stuff are not necessary.

I’ve stopped watching/reading the news on a daily basis, and instead I’ll catch up on the recent major events every week or two, sometimes less depending on the general temperature of things.

I value being informed, but also found that the majority of news changes nothing about my day to day actions, and of the news that does change my actions/help me make better decisions, it almost never needs to be consumed the instant it’s published.

Given the current landscape, personal habit change around news consumption seems like the ideal place to focus as an average person.
Not clear it actually works though

I don't read news but I read too much twitter. I curated my following base carefully so now almost everything on the timeline is interesting/insightful/funny. Problem is it's still junk food and of little long term value. I really need to step away for a while.
The idea of discovering a life that fits you rather than trying to predict it up front makes sense to me. In my life I think I've found most success, enjoyment and reward when I've followed my gut as opportunities arise. But I'm not really sure what the guiding reward signal is. Without up front choosing you want to be rich, high status, surrounded by a loving family, popular, for example, how do you make the near-term tactical choices well? Is it just "do what feels right"?
Clearly NASA should wait until Starship is available to return the entire thing to Earth in once piece (I'm assuming it will fit or could be made to fit.) :)
> This point is very often overlooked by US based media and historians (I guess for obvious reasons), but the fact of the matter is that we don't know if only the two bombs would've been enough to make Japan capitulate.

This is covered by Walker in his book Prompt and Utter Destruction:

* https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/829496

And he still concludes that dropping the bombs was a necessary element in their surrender.

The Japanese were expecting the Russians/Soviets to enter the war: the only surprise was that it was sooner than they expected (Spring 1946). Fighting them was already taken into account in their 'calculations'.

From a 1946 article:

> About a week after V-J Day, I was one of a small group of scientists and engineers interrogating an intelligent, well-informed Japanese Army officer in Yokohama. We asked him what, in his opinion, would have been the next major move if the war had continued. He replied: "You would probably have tried to invade our homeland with a landing operation on Kyushu about November 1. I think the attack would have been made on such and such beaches."

> "Could you have repelled this landing?" we asked, and he answered: "It would have been a very desperate fight, but I do not think we could have stopped you."

> "What would have happened then?" we asked.

> He replied: "We would have kept on fighting until all Japanese were killed, but we would not have been defeated," by which he meant that they would not have been disgraced by surrender.

* https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1946/12/if-the-...

I'd be willing to bet that the Japanese would have been willing to pull out of Manchuria, lose that territory, and use those troops for home island defence.
Back when I started engineering school, we tended to add more constraints to systems than what they actually need believing that we were making them more secure and "safer".

"This will make sure we cover edge cases we're not aware of", we thought.

Later we discovered such systems are called "hyperstatic" and that they are actually more fragile and more prone to malfunction. What we should've aimed for are isostatic systems, where less constraints meant more stable systems.

I'm not saying Boeing engineering aren't aware of this. Of course they do. I just wanted to show an example of how trying to avoid mistakes *may* lead to less safe systems.
Yes, same for maths. As long as a true reward 'surface' can be optimized. Approximate rewards are similar to approximate and non admissible heuristics,search eventually misses true optimal states and favors wrong ones, with side effects in very large state spaces.
I heard that it varies by cell type from at most 7 years, down to under-24-hours for a few types. But.. that's just my memory from some read many years ago. Curious what the latest official number is.
Because when they try to solve it the solution is us navigating a cookie dialog puzzle where if we lose we give up our privacy.

The setting could have just been a browser toggle, but because of government incompetence every publisher gets to skirt the guidelines and trick or frustrate people into clicking accept.

You can be against the problem and against incompetents forcing bad solutions at a government level or using it to build income streams through fines.

Choosing the Dragon capsule option in this case would be neither risk-free nor mean the end of a space program, though it might lead to significant changes (quite possibly for the better) to NASA's current version.

They're safer than the Shuttle was, though. Capsules are designed (I believe) to survive total loss of control on entry, although a purely ballistic entry can have decelerations of up to 15 gees, IIRC.

Yes, had a deja vu moment there. I guess it was a similar game by someone else.
All it takes to ditch the news is being on the inside of a breaking story, and realizing how much information being spewed out is just plain incorrect... then the next few articles you read, you realize it's not just your article they warped for clicks, but all of them.

When newspapers were the primary news consumption, it was a bit better - journalists had a few hours to collect facts before publishing. Now there's zero time so they will publish anything. Empty calories.
> So basically defenseless.

It doesn't matter what "reality" is: it matters what (your enemy's) perception is. The Japanese did not think themselves defenseless.

You have not beaten your enemy when you think you have: you have beaten your enemy when they think you have.

This is a wild exaggeration. Again, GDPR is not relevant here and private communication on the employer's infrastructure generally caries no reasonable expectation of privacy, at least in the US, double more so when you are actively sharing that email with your team.
Exact?

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41188347 and realise that the EMM "high res" map has a wavelength of 50+km .. compare that to, say, old school LORAN positioning accuracy.

Also .. the "coarse" map models (linked in comment) are good for five years, the enhanced models less so .. and there's those other factors.

It's also a wee bit trickier than you might think to (say) fly a route and identify your location only from DTM contour path directly under craft. (Subsitute mag vectors for DTM values)

It's more like old school missile plotting via DTM's where a preprogrammed "follow this" path is generated to facilitate optimal "when the value rises, turn here" instructions .. which are great "recipe navigation" commands .. until something goes wrong, it strays too far off course and has to recover.

Identifying any position via a "random" 50 line km slice is a much harder problem.

This is the same scenario people on here said wouldn’t happen. Shocking.
That list is all pretty vague.

That the tipping point seems to be disagreeing with expanding powers of the council is suspicious.
Don't forget that death is a required feature for a specie to evolve. It might be the case that immortal organisms lived on earth, the fact that we don't see them around just confirms that dying is a competitive advantage, not a problem.

We are not the end of evolution, we need to overcome our individual desire to stay here an leave to make room for the next iteration.
yes but that's not cheaply computed. You need good test coverage, etc.

I have been leading engineering teams over 10 years, including on C-level. It does sound trivial to me because I actually have already solved the problem many times, but you are right, the question “how” is important. It is not “how many times” though, because there is no a number. Short answer is, whenever there’s new information from discovery, whenever there’s new business goal or new data from BI, you share that with the entire cross-functional team. Communicating business expectations and updates is the job of every PM and manager. Being curious, listening and picking from this stream what’s important for your job is the part of job description for every single person in R&D.

when I was a kid, we'd play road hockey all day, everyday. Canadian kids literally dont do that anymore.

The nanny state criminalized this. The consequences? Kids just stay inside more? Less socialization? But also canada being a great at hockey has long slipped away.

Last time Canada won the stanley cup was 1993.

100% of the blame for social crisis and this play deficit is the nanny state.
Your expanded reply is a lot more generous than the single-line reply you gave, which I pattern-matched to countless prior discussions about age where the exact same verbiage was used to undercut youth. Hopefully you can forgive seeing my past experiences in a matching circumstance.

I still think that you do a disservice to the argument with the way you frame it. Not having stared down the barrel is a euphemism gesturing at naivety, when you could more kindly say that few people past the cutoff that GP gave would agree, and expand on that instead. I appreciate that you appear to mean this rebuttal in good faith, and I apologize for my own retort.

If I were to disagree with one element of the counterargument you gave, it's that people of a certain age cannot 'contribute to society'. We can see that people of almost all ages can contribute to society - least of all by political means, e.g. Thunberg, Biden. But the thrust of GP seems to me more that the original engineering of a human involves balancing shared resources directly and indirectly in different ways across lifespans, and as we stretch that long tail further out, it calls on more and different resources than the initial structures of socioculture were designed for. This isn't just about brain fog or palliative care costs, but also about how younger cohorts cope with the world around them.

Today, teenagers are told that their career peak will be in their 50s - the common response is, why work hard today when so much social momentum intends to hold you back? If our best and brightest live to 300, what will keep disenfranchised youth from decades of despair, given the economic revolutions (in the most fortunate outcome, rather than crises) these radical changes would entail? These are the questions I saw gestured at by the GP argument.
