There is a bunch of good advice here, but it's missed the most useful principal in my experience, probably because the motivating example is too small in scope:

The way to build reliable software systems is to have multiple independent paths to success.

This is the Erlang "let it crash" strategy restated, but I've also found it embodied in things like the architecture of Google Search, Tandem Computer, Ethereum, RAID 5, the Space Shuttle, etc. Basically, you achieve reliability through redundancy. For any given task, compute the answer multiple times in parallel, ideally in multiple independent ways. If the answer agrees, great, you're done. If not, have some consensus mechanism to detect the true answer. If you can't compute the answer in parallel, or you still don't get one back, retry.

The reason for this is simply math. If you have n different events that must all go right to achieve success, the chance of this happening is x1 * x2 * ... * xn. This product goes to zero very quickly - if you have 20 components connected in series that are all 98% reliable, the chance of success is only 2/3. If instead you have n different events where any one can go right to achieve success, the chance of success is 1 - (1 - y1) * (1 - y2) * ... * (1 - yn). This inverse actually increases as the number of alternate pathways to success goes up and fast. If you have 3 alternatives each of which has just an 80% chance of success, but any of the 3 will work, then doing them all in parallel has a 97% chance of success.

This is why complex software systems that must stay up are built with redundancy, replicas, failover, retries, and other similar mechanisms in place. And the presence of those mechanisms usually trumps anything you can do to increase the reliability of individual components, simply because you get diminishing returns to carefulness. You might spend 100x more resources to go from 90% reliability to 99% reliability, but if you can identify a system boundary and correctness check, you can get that 99% reliability simply by having 2 teams each build a subsystem that is 90% reliable and checking that their answers agree.

Don't get me wrong, I've tried working on 211 in Washington, DC and experienced the same thing, ultimately: Individual nonprofits creating their own resource and referral systems since 211 was not cutting it and would likely never cut it.
I did read it. The response is we will delete unless… and it lists a bunch of possibly applicable laws.

Based on the vagueness of the response (which law in particular, what are the details etc) I’d argue they won’t delete anything ever and claim that they thought they might run afoul of some law.
The constitutional right to free speech in Brazil is not an absolute right. In fact, it is a well-known fact to Brazilian legal scholars and practitioners that there are no absolute rights under Brazilian law - every right must be equally respected.

In particular, Brazilian law does not grant freedom of expression for political speech that has clearly defamatory intent, constitutes an insult, makes disparaging judgments or represents denigrating criticism. That may not be the letter of the law, but it is its spirit, as set by precedent and academic literature.

Keep in mind that this specific judge has the backing of the majority of the Supreme Court and, at the very least, the tacit support of congressmen who have the power to impeach him in case of abuses.

I have no knowledge, just replying to a post as to the content of the article.
inaccurate or incomplete ?

The latter is to be expected. Forbes only covers certain type of wealthy people for logistical if not also political reasons.

It does not cover powerful people who control enormous wealth but ownership maybe murky what is personal wealth and what is state owned, royal families or dictators like Putin or Kim Jong Un or their extended family will never make the list.

Beyond those kind of people, the murky and opaque ways that money can hidden also means it is hard to track estates that did not come from publicly made fortunes (ex: from listed company etc) that can be somewhat easily tracked.

Even when public like Bitcoin and crypto, Nakomoto 's estimated ~1.1M bitcoins is worth $70B today, nobody knows who he is. There haven't been any transfers from those addresses, however that doesn't mean a part of that enormous fortune is outside the bitcoin ecosystem as real money, the owner of the wallet could be using them as security for large loans like Elon (or other rich people typically do ) does with their stock without actually selling it to minimize tax.

Stay on whatever framework/library/platform you want and feel works best for you and your use cases. No one is forcing you to chase the latest trends.
C64 has a lot of failure prone parts. Much of that is due to the nature of NMOS construction. You'd want to target large feature size CMOS from the late 80s to early 90s to hit the sweet spot of semiconductor longevity.

Right? What's with all the volunteer billionaire-wealth advocates?
Where $1 billion is about 40,000 Honda Civics, I think most people would support limiting ownership of cars to 39,999. It doesn't even have to be a hard limit, just a luxury tax on cars that cost more than, say, $1 million, and on owning more than 40,000 cars. If you want a 40,001st car, your can do it but it means you're going to have to pay an extra fee that goes towards helping people with less.

Renewables can be destroyed by a war, but it will not take ten years to rebuild and connect it again to the grid when the war is over. Is not only cheaper, but allows a gradual recover of the electric supply. With nuclear a recover is much more rigid and rushing it is potentially catastrophic.
By using a concrete example of a specific point in time, they are conflating that example with their own.

If he had just said something like “Can’t we all get along” without invoking the history, it would not have brought along the comparison.

To put this into the context of software, and assuming he did not intend the conflating, it would be like he invoked a function that updated state on a specific field that he wanted to change, but the function updated other fields as a side effect.

The most charitable interpretation is that it was an accident and he just reached for the first similar example he could think of, the least charitable is that he actually does think it’s the same.

My opinion is that the situations are so wildly different that it was an inappropriate example to invoke
> The problem is you need a computer the size of the universe to do that calculation.

I’m not sure were you get that idea from. The amount of calculations we can do, per say, 1 000 000 molecules dedicated to the calculation has absolutely skyrocketed, and will continue to skyrocket.

> a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power. Courts look at the firm's market share, but typically do not find monopoly power if the firm (or a group of firms acting in concert) has less than 50 percent of the sales of a particular product or service within a certain geographic area.

Note the "typically", and other courts never even had this rule of thumb to begin with...
Interestingly a lot of the larger philanthropic organizations are just as administration heavy as the US government and suffer from the same mission creep and the same obfuscated, bureaucratic decision making process, etc. Not to mention the leadership is often richly compensated (i.e. $1M in salary) and non-elected.

In fact we should probably celebrate gifts to the US government more than we do.
I really think that Wolfram's descent into fringe science has hurt a lot of well meaning people that don't know better and think that because he's developed useful software that he should be listened to in these domains.
"good if you have a pet or housemate who sometimes poops inside"

I have a pet (cat) that unfortunately poops just outside her box most of the time, despite a lot of different ideas and approaches with the help of our vet. She's old and has lower back pain issues. It ends up on a litter mat or the wooden floor, so it's not that hard to clean up.

If I had a housemate that pooped inside not in the toilet, they would need to be even less able to manage their shit, so to speak, and more loved than our cat, or they would be out of here very fast.

Quitting implies there is a problem, the authors even state so. But is it really¹? I'm quite sure "Over 90% of college students quit college within a decade". They graduate.

Interesting, I think we treat system services differently than utilities.

I think anti-trust laws are generally more effective at dealing with that than wealth limits. When capitalism is functioning well, what cones up must go down, and the main trick is to make sure the ultra-wealthy can't leverage their wealth to prevent anyone competiting with them.
>>> It can generally handle most decode operations with CPU help and a very narrow encoding spec.

This is so much spot on. Video coding specs are like a "huge bunch of tools" and encoders get to choose whatever subset-of-tools suits them. And than hardware gets frozen for a generation.
My point is really that a lot of people thought we were eons away. "It was clear" to you, but your opinion was not shared by the majority probably until at least GPT-2 at the very earliest (2019). (Note that the sibling comment to yours still doesn't believe we are close...)

Similarly, today a lot of people think we are eons away from useful general purpose robots, but it is clear to me that they are coming soon.
Thank you so much for this.

Whenever people criticize Wolfram the comeback is often, he’s just trying to discuss big ideas that mainstream science won’t talk about. Of course that’s not the reason for the criticism at all and I think your work here shows that it’s totally fine to speculate and get a little philosophical. The results can be interesting and thought provoking.

There’s a difference between big ideas and grandiosity. It also shows big ideas can stay scientifically grounded and don’t require making up corny terminology (Ruliad? lol).
“Barely outperforms the market” over a 50 year period (for a pension fund to cover obligations) is still a pretty big deal.
Anyone got the math, there's something like x degrees C more warming already calculated as future profits by oil companies: they've seen the oil fields, they know how much they can extract, and that amount of oil, burned, will cause those x degrees of warming.

I have read and appreciated your writings going back to the comp.lang.lisp days, but a blog post that starts with “if you haven’t read the previous post, please do before reading the rest of this one” is not what I would consider accessible. …and that previous post then asks the reader to first read a paper or watch a video before proceeding. While a decade later than what you wrote, Wolfram’s article is much more self contained and complete.

This gets at something I’ve thought about a lot as a software dev.

Making a game engine is a very concrete task, in that you can map out the steps and many of them are well-defined.

On the other hand “make a good game” kinda isn’t. Which I think is a big reason why coders gravitate towards the “start making an engine” route and then fall down it :)

The developers I admire and look up to a lot are the artists that fell into programming. I think they’re the best when it comes to being a successful lone / indie dev for games. Everyone notices art, but you don’t notice programming unless it goes wrong or you know the tech behind what you’re looking at.
Tiny Storage: a small, lightweight UserDefaults replacement
Why can't these people understand that that 70% of the world consider ASCII to be "the computer language", not English, and UTF-8 to be "whatever soup that only works inside files and forms and can't be program manipulated"?

Maybe it needs to be communicated more often, like way more often, until it sticks.
In Rust, the APIs are clear if they're ASCII only or unicode aware.

> ‘Lowercase’ is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property Lowercase.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.str.html#meth...

> ASCII letters ‘A’ to ‘Z’ are mapped to ‘a’ to ‘z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

Now, "perfectly" is very strong. For example, the Turkish i problem. That is not solved. But 99% of Unicode stuff is handled correctly by default.

well, see, it's embarrassing to admit, but you see, I'm a billionaire. I mean, I'm not one right now, it's a temporary thing.

So even though it's hurting me now that the rich don't get taxed more, it's just this temporary embarrassing thing where I'm not currently a billionaire.
"The amount of calculations we can do, per say, 1 000 000 molecules dedicated to the calculation "

Lets say it takes 100 molecules in a circuit to calculate 1 particles state. Then you already would need a universe 100X the size to calculate our 1X size universe.

I'm assuming all particles, not that this is somehow clipping and only rendering what we see. I'm not talking about the brain in box simulation, I'm talking about idea that entire universe is out there. What would it take to calculate every position of every particle.

Any tier of Google Support is 100% a black hole. I had an extremely unusual issue with a service in Google Cloud, tried to debug it and failed. I filed a ticket and waited because P1 was only for “production” issues, but our issue was for development.

A few days later, the Google engineer assigned notes to us that we can escalate to P1 if this is blocking our workflow, even when not in production. I take this to my manager and they agree that it’s time to move it to P1.

We move it to P1 and immediately get traction, only to be stonewalled by a support engineer confidently asserting that the code throwing the error, which only existed in a private Google-maintained container, which only interfaced with our app through launching a cloud job through their platform, was actually our responsibility.

No joke, they actually said “As stated in my prior message, this issue is due to your code”, despite our code being a thin wrapper around their demonstration code to run it from the command line.

In my most business professional tone, I tell them off for lying to us about them debugging on their end and inform them that I will be immediately escalating because of this dissatisfactory response. This finally gets the ticket moving and a few weeks later, a bug fixed version of the entire platform is deployed.

Total time from start to finish:

- P2: 2.5 weeks of daily updates
- P1, until we’re told that it’s our fault: 8 hours
- P1 escalated until issue was completely fixed: 5 weeks

We paid for premium support. I cannot imagine how bad free support is.

A big part of that is the devalued Yen, which is a recent phenomenon (~2-3y). Travelers with USD or EUR are going to think everything's cheap because of this.

But even ignoring the exchange rate (this is easy to do: just assume 100 yen = USD$1, like in the mid-2010s), most of the trains (or subways) are really cheap compared to costs I've seen in other countries (US/EU), and far better run on top of that.
