I've seen similar arguments for a while, and even if it's true now, I'm not sure why it would stay at that level.

Even if you assume LLMs fully stop improving, heavy re-training for many customized models (acting as modules) attached to more traditional statistical systems should clear the "cat" level without too much trouble, but I don't see that happening. I don't think LLMs/other massive single training runs are out of steam yet.

That's because it's nonsense.
My theory is that physics went down a parallel path that leads to a dead end. The fork was too far back and nobody is willing to backtrack enough. A part of this is that almost all of modern physics takes mathematical shortcuts of dubious validity because “modern” physics was developed in the era of pencil and paper.
With computer algebra systems and numerical methods new have available to us now a lot of old assumptions ought to be revisited.

Also some theories were ignored for political or even religious reasons. Or as you said, they couldn’t fix some basic issue at the time and just shelved the theory.

Some random examples:

The Many Worlds Interpretation is one of the least “popular” but the only sane and consistent theory of Quantum Mechanics.

One of Einstein’s last collaborations was Kaluza Klein theory which has many excellent features such as smoothly integrating EM and gravitational effects. The maths was too hard at the time so it languished.

Multiple time dimensions (a variant of MWI above) were all completely ignored because one paper “disproved” their feasibility. I read that paper and it only disproved a specific subset of theory space.

Etc…

R/programming is currently 6.5m, which doesn't matter because it doesn't invalidate my statement about the last time I checked.

> why is rail treated so differently?

Because there's a huge ecosystem that is substantially dependent on private use of roadways - car manufacturers, sellers, insurers, storage facilities, cleaners, and repairers; petrol extractors, refiners, transporters and sellers; and so on.

Each of these parties has a vested interest in maintaining the perception that driving is the baseline mode of transport and anything else is a deviation from that which requires extra consideration before it should receive any resources.

On the one hand that's also a lot of jobs and profits, but on the other hand if all this activity is in service of a mode of transport that causes considerable short and long-term damage, and is less efficient for many journeys, then it means we're wasting labor and resources that could be put to better use.

BART is different than most systems. Generally people are talking about buses in my experience. Most trains/subways are relatively tame compared to buses.

Multilingual is built into Drupal and as far as I am aware, it's a plugin for Wordpress.

Complex permissions/access control is another area where Drupal is much stronger.

And overall, the more complex the requirements are , the more likely Drupal will be the answer. Wordpress leans very heavily towards "here, install this, it'll work, you can tweak it and that's about it". Drupal gives you a gigantic bucket of LEGO. In other words, although it's a bit of an exaggeration but not badly, with Wordpress you start from a working website and there's only so far you can walk from that point. With Drupal, you need to walk quite a bit in the first place to get a good website but there's just no end how far you can walk.

Ill need you to disambiguate EES,DG (DanG?) ..

NB1 designori, writing off Laplace as a chancellor was fox skin (see below)

DJT designori, but much less certainty, fox wearing lion skin badly, or with help of stims?

PG: from video, designori, from writings, fox, so maybe fox wearing a lion skin? (havent considered his encounters with wolves and traps)

DanG no idea, slight maybe of fox wearing lion skin (from interviews)

Another measure: warmth/intellect affectations, so if inferred from writings=propganda (uh modulo that french isnt my Ln) old boney is one hell of a fox, or lion wearing fox skin..

> people, who do not want to pay for the leftist dreamworld

Except that time and time again, it turns out that the "leftist dreamworld" is actually cheaper.

Providing subsidized housing for poor people costs less in the long run than dealing with homelessness.

Providing nationalized or strictly regulated healthcare costs less than fully privatized systems where healthcare operators do as they please.

Facilitating active transport such as bike lanes costs cities less, and moves more people more quickly, than focusing exclusively on cars.

What these people actually want is not to save money, but to carefully ensure that any money spent suits only their preferences and identity groups rather than benefiting society as a whole.
I've been on Typepad for over 20 years but I can't recommend it: it's HORRIBLE!!
> Can they really be called registers, when they're bytes in DRAM?

Yes they can, because that's just an implementation detail.

Registers are nothing more than a conveniently short address for frequently-accessed working storage. Sometimes they are in their own address space (which in modern use usually doesn't have indirect/computed addressing, but can), but sometimes they are in the same address space as RAM e.g. in AVR the first 32 bytes of RAM are the registers (which might or might not be implemented in the same technology). Some early / small AVRs didn't have any other RAM. The same is true of PIC and 8051. And then there is the TMS9900 where the only on-chip registers were the PC and a pointer to where in RAM the working registers were stored.

It seems entirely appropriate to refer to the 6502's Zero Page as "registers" given that 1) it barely has any others, and 2) the very fundamental for modern software base+offset addressing mode exists only using two zero page bytes as the base. You would otherwise be reduced to using self-modifying code for any access via pointer.

If the 6502 ISA had not become obsolete for other reasons -- the desire for more than 8 bit ALUs and 16 bit addresses -- it is entirely likely that as CPUs became faster than RAM and more transistors were able to be put in the CPU then future 6502s would have brought Zero Page on-chip.
MongoDB uses a similar approach. https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/method/ObjectI...
WPE literally spends several hundred thousand dollars a year contributing to WP events. And then they get banned from those events while the WP Foundation keeps the checks.

What absolute leeches they are.
The whole thing started because WP Engine does not want to put resources into WordPress development. It's not some sort of disagreement about design or development, it's about the work itself.

If WP Engine has to create a fork and dump millions, they would basically lose. As they have built a business model around not contributing even to the already well developed WordPress codebase. So I can't imagine how going beyond that and forking the entire thing would work, unless they just mirror upstream.

I don't think Matt would mind if WP Engine did just that because he's arguing that they are using WordPress without giving back anything in return, so if they just did their thing outside of WordPress that would be exactly what he wants.
> Training isn’t a medical intervention.

You didn’t say medical intervention in your previous post. You said “Medical inducement” which is a term i’m not familiar with.

Let me think now about it again. Sounds like you just declared anyone doping who is taking multivitamin suplements. It is a medical intervention (a drug), it induces a physiological change, wouldn’t occur naturaly. Sounds like it is doping!

Or anyone who had a dental cavity filled. It is a medical intervention (a surgery), it induces a physiological change, wouldn’t occur naturaly. Clearly beneficial to an athlete, since someone without tooth ache can concentrate more. Ban them all those dopers!

> unless you’re being particularly “internet obtuse”

Look, it is not me who offered a simple definition of what is and isn’t doping. Simple answers are almost always wrong. There is a reason why real doping regulations are hundreds of pages long. If they could write a one sentence rulebook they would. They are just trying to ban real doping without also baning dental fillings, training and multivitamins.
That’s what html was supposed to be; probably still could. Epub uses it as well, though readers are not equivalent.
Not the same as manually implementing it in every component as a rule.
The other great thing about public transport is you don't have to "lug" / "chauffer" them at all after about 8 or so (what age makes sense depends on area and the kid of course). They can exercise some independence.
Thanks for the info, but the result of that is not any better than the result of what I had already done. (I wrote a command that put an overlay on the buffer to change the typeface.)

It's not as good text on the web IMHO. Typography is very complicated, and I think the people who did the typographical details of Chrome and Firefox were very skilled, is my guess.
Maybe it's because it's a small project about a specific event, and that whoever made it already uses Chrome and has mostly tested it on chromium?
> ...senior engineer who ... understands how the business works will still be an order of magnitude more valuable than some $school intern.

The essential value of domain knowledge and experience are under-estimated by educators. The ability to produce leet-code is no substitute for years of experience at the coalface. In my experience, 90% of established business systems coding is to handling exceptions and special cases. No programming course can prepare you for that.
I read about train infrastructure development that was privately funded and built from the profits from land speculation near the new stations.

The two baseline criteria I have for better-than-LaTeX options are:

Both are needed to make writing large amounts of complex equations acceptable.

Germany actually subsidises fossil fuels to the tune of €20bn/year, so in that context €3bn doesn't sound so bad. Some of the latest estimates of the true cost per ton of carbon put it around $1000 USD, so in purely economic terms it's still a win.

Everyone I've ever talked to dealing with conditions that often end in transplant knows and shares that they're big-deal, serious-business, forever-life-altering treatments that are ultimate last resorts. But for some things we simply don't have any alternatives.

And for some of those - for instance one of the super-obvious ones is alchoholism-induced cirrhosis - "don't drink so much that you kill your liver" is VERY discussed, not just considered "lucky." You might even get yourself disqualified from a transplant if you can't get it under control. Everyone would MUCH rather you not need it.

Where are you seeing "get a transplant" pushed as a shiny panacea? They aren't even new anymore... lots of newer-shinies out there.
This matches my experience with Zendesk. We did an integration at my previous company and they were incredibly naive with respect to email setup. We had quite strict requirements around deliverability in particular, and having the Zendesk setup play nicely with our email domain setup that was tuned for deliverability. Sadly Zendesk were unable to engage with the issue beyond "just forward emails from your gmail support inbox" which was a long way behind where we were.

For a company built on email, they're not good at it.

SpaceX and by extension Starship are critical for the entire western space industry. Last year SpaceX was responsible for something like 90% of the stuff sent up. Then China and then Russia. There is simply no one else in even in the market right now. SpaceX has lowered costs by an order of magnitude already and hopes Starship will drop it by another.

If you don’t like Elon Musk that’s fine. But his companies get stuff done. Blue Origin has been around longer, has gotten more from the government (Yeah, really) and been getting a billion a year from Bezos with nothing to show for it. It’s insane how much SpaceX has done while everyone else has been doing nothing.
