It can be fixed, and "Google" referenced as "a whole lot of intelligent people" could fix it. Easily.

They just don't have any massive advantage to do so.

Their goal has ways always been capture. Keep us on their portal. Well they're succeeding, because they fill pages of response with their own data, and the alternative is to click poor results.

They have a vested interest to keep you on their page.

It doesn't matter that their buffonerific answers are often gibberish, and so many times very wrong. Or worse subtly wrong.

Those answers keep 99.9% of the people on Google only.

And just take another look, too. How many of the responses aren't just their horrid AI junk, but many of the rest are youtube.

Why spend time fixing main search, when it being broken pushes people to stay on google.com, or go to youtube?

They can fix it, they just don't want to.
Could just be differential/rtk GPS. You can get incredible precision with that.
I use ASP at work! I used it as the core of a powerful code generator: I modeled the type system I wanted to implement, some base operations and derivation rules, and had it synthesize implementations for every possible operator between every possible pair of types. I run clasp and it dumps out thousands of lines of C# implementing a simple symbolic matrix linear algebra library. It's one of the most beautiful things I've made, imo.
I think Google's aggressive tracking and targeting skews search results. Even technically logged out they know who you are. They have your IP associated with your account. So your incognito results aren't likely to be very different from your logged in results. Not saying they'll be totally different from mine but incognito mode alone isn't anonymizing you to Google.

For reference I did the same search on Google. I do not use Google search by default nor do I ever log in from non-private sessions. I got the same results as you...after one full viewport scroll. Half the SERP is an "AI Overview", below that are some sort of page summaries (not links) for "Secure Your Data", and then finally one full viewport scroll down is the first external link.

DuckDuckGo (my default search engine) isn't doing too much better. The same search gets me three ads before an actual search result. The ads take up 75% of the viewport. Then after only a single outgoing link there's a bunch of links to video results.

To me both SERPs contain mostly garbage. I didn't ask for some AI summary. Nor did I ask for Google to summarize a bunch of pages. I also didn't ask DDG for video results which typically aren't meaningfully different from identified ads.

It does prevent you accidentally running something that you didn't expect to be an executable in the first place as is the case here. I doubt you're running executables off of USB drives hundreds of times a week on air gapped machines.
> Yes, for most of the booster return it’s ‘gliding’ with the rocket engines completely shut down.

Watching the video, it looked like the bottom of the rocket was glowing hot, but the engines were cool. I imagine that means they were probably running some amount of methane through the engine bells to cool them.
When I was visiting the space center in Huntsville, Indiana, I had a chance to talk with one of the volunteers. His name was Brooks Moore (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3hudRA3yL8), and he had been the director of navigation systems for the Apollo (and other) projects.

The first SpaceX barge landing had just taken place, and I asked him what he thought. He got a faraway look in his eyes, and agreed that it had been spectacular. For those guys, it must have seemed like all of their dreams were coming true.
None of that makes the "entire argument fall apart". Sounds like he regrets doing that.

The argument that matt is doing this for the community, though, totally falls apart when we see that he is actively harming community members, and the argument that he's doing it for open source totally falls apart when we see that he tried to extort WPEngine for money into his own pocket before contriving the aforementioned pretexts.

Why just WPEngine? It seems because they're successful and he's jealous of their money (hence demanding they give it to him, and not the community).

Should matt have such a veto power over what the community wants? Put another way, the community has tolerated matt's behavior, but he keeps digging more and more – how do we stop his bad behavior?

And back to the first question: "tolerated" by who? The community embraced WPEngine and their contributions to the community. It's matt that the community can't tolerate.
> Given search is a near total monopoly

It is not a monopoly where people don't have a choice. Bing and its derivatives exist, also Yandex and Baidu and several smaller players. Bing is installed by default on every Windows PC. Not only that but the EU is watching Google very closely for antitrust violations, like they did with Internet Explorer back in the days.

Google cannot afford to suck too much or it won't last long. And there is not much lock-in when it comes to search engines.
No, the GP is referring to breaded mice. Indeed, the recipe is so easy. Dip mice in batter and deep fry.
From the control point of view, isn't this exactly the same as F9 landing on a pad, except the pad is virtual, floating in between the chopsticks and the ground? Or course one difference is that the approach needs to be from the correct direction.
But when it's inaccurate then it's usualy blatantly obvious. For example if you are out on an easy jog and it shows 188 bpm then that's your cadence, not your heart, unless something is going down really badly and then you don't need the watch to tell you that.

It's not like it will show 147 when the actual value is 134.

> It's not even all that difficult to estimate, really. For example, every business does it, of necessity.

This isn't even true. I run a business, and I frequently make decisions based on what I believe to be the right thing to do rather than what the data shows as being the most profitable outcome. The very notion of a "loss leader" is driven on fuzzy data where execs simply hope the loss in revenue from sales is made up for in other benefits that can't be concretely valued.
If I understood you correctly, you just name them. The default is the concept, and most of the time people do not feel the need to separate some specific police force, because it's apparent from the context. Some specific police force aren't likely to expand their operations in the city.

On the other hand, I think I may also be failing to explain this correctly because we are already at the limits of my English :)

> There's no clause in there about your consciousness getting magically teleported to worlds in which you survive.

You are absolutely correct - there is nothing about the MWI that implies such a thing. Such a thing is implied by consciousness itself.

Here's a thought experiment. You implement a conscious system on a computer. After letting it run for a year, you interrupt the software but save all of its state. After waiting 20 years, you restart the software from the same point on a completely different computer running an emulator for the old system.

The consciousness, whose reference of time is entirely independent of the real world, does not "feel" the 20 year pause. It "magically teleports" to the new computer.

I could price this at USD 2 per 1000 transformations, mainly to help others in the same situations as the monetary return would not be expressive.

Its high cost would (should!) have killed it regardless, but its low reliability was going to be a huge problem too, and arguably it's the lack of reliability that finally killed it.

The high cost should have killed the project before it ever flew, but that's not how governments behave.

Deteriorating economic conditions is wrong. Economic conditions are fine. The problem is basically one thing: housing prices.

Younger generations are better off than their parents until you include housing prices and tuition. Of the two housing prices are more significant and harder to avoid. You can skip college, go to a cheaper one, do base credits in community college, etc, but no way around housing especially with kids.

If you ask young people why they delay children housing prices will be in the top three answers.

I can say that location is not the only factor. Tried various English-using countries through VPN and failed to get a single ad. For instance, UK and AU had some differences on the organic search results (e.g. those from ico.org.uk and oaic.gov.au) but still no ads. Personalization and device may matter though since Mac and iOS users tend to be more preferred target amongst advertisers, but I didn't get ads on my iPhone either.
Yes, indeed. But I will add that the sheer size of the rocket helps in this regard. I think it is rather hard to appreciate the massive scale of the feat by watching videos.

Well put, but I think you’re using “focus” in a different sense than the author is.

The article discusses internal (intensional!) focus on the substance of experience itself as it’s presented to your unified Ego, and you’re discussing the much more common idea of external (extensional!!1!) focus, which is almost the exact opposite since it typically requires quieting your inner monologue to the greatest extent possible and letting your subconscious faculties act autonomously.
Immediately before the sentence you quoted: "Now the reason this mod is called Doom III is because it’s a sequel to Doom II. This has nothing in common with id Software’s Doom 3 game, which came out in 2004 and was a reboot."
Nanopore spits out data as dna goes through the pores. And depending on the flowcell you are using, you can load or top up the flow cell in smaller amounts. So you can potentially have quick turn around time without having to wait for enough samples to pile up before you batch sequence on a larger illumina machine.

Illumina machines are cost efficient in terms of cost per basepair, but only at large batches. They are trying to rectify this after seeing other benchtop sequencing machines (Element Biosci) moving into the mid-throughout niche and doing well. Their solution is the miseq i100 that they just announced.

But at the end of the day, these are all still constrained by having to think in terms of multiplexed batches which has a lot of operational complexity involved (equi-molar pooling, barcoding, etc).

Ultimately, for commercial sequencing labs, one of the more difficult problem to solve is the operational complexity of how to optimally load the sequencer for lowest cost while balancing failure rates/low coverage rates rather than the technicalities of dna prep/lib prep. Given unlimited and consistent intake samples, the problem gets easier. But most labs have some kind of seasonality or project cycle built in which means it’s not about maximizing a yearly capacity, it’s more about how many samples max you can pump through within a few days.

It's frustrating how many disagreements come down to framings rather than actual substance.

His framing of intelligence is one thing. The people who disagree with him are framing intelligence a different way.

I wish that all the energy went towards substantive disagreements rather than disagreements that are mostly (not entirely) rooted in semantics and definitions.

The core Symbolics SYSTEM system I see here is version 501.51. It consists of a bunch of other systems like SI, Embedding, L-Bin, Tables, Scheduler, Netboot, Common Lisp, SCT, Garbage Collector, Flavor, Error System, Language Tools, Network, Lisp Compiler, Bitblt, Fonts, FS, Bin, Time, TV, Presentation Substrate, CP, Dynamic Windows, Debugger, I Linker, Fep-FS, ...

I don't see much of that in System 99 from MIT.

Stuff like X11 and NFS is also not random stuff. Open Genera uses it for its console and its files.

> seeing that it doesn't really support CL very well anyway

Well enough that it is able to run a lot of its software written in Common Lisp. It's able to run stuff like PCL, ASDF, ITERATE, ...

System 99 is from 1984 (?), Symbolics started in 81/82. Open Genera appeared 1992/93. You are ignoring a full decade of development.

Earlier:

> Genera did a few cool things but in the grand scheme of things it is essentially not much (the Dynamic Listener probably being the most interesting thing, the rest of the system was essentially the same).

I would guess that less than 20% of the core SYSTEM is essentially the same (but often quite a bit enhanced). For the rest of the software, I would think it's even less. Which is not surprising, since System 99 did not support the 3600 systems, the G-Machines, the I-machines (XL400, XL1200, XL1201, UX400, UX1200, NXP1000, MacIvory 1/2/3, ...), Open Genera, ..., because all that was developed later by Symbolics.

Early designs of the shuttle were fully reusable. That was quickly dropped due to costs and requirements. The final shuttle design was also unsafe.
Turkish, in comparison to English, is a language that is less lexically dense. So in this instance; you don't really need to specify anything; but that also means a lot of sentences _get longer due to said lack of lexical density requiring more words to be used, for clarity's sake and / or heavier reliance on context_. Which follows the cultural lines quite well - Turkish culture is a _high context culture_ whereas English culture is not (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-context_and_low-context_c...).

I cover both, but you're right about choice. Not looking to sway. I explained background, my position, and some reasoning. I'll try again.

I don't compile the whole OS, or as you say, spend dozens of hours compiling packages from source.

In the small cases where I do compile something, it's this process:

fedpkg clone -a -b ... packagename
cd packagename
# toy around, make customizations that justify the compilation
fedpkg mockbuild
dnf up ./results*/*/*.rpm

You're making a strawman with this literal position of compiling everything, bathing it in hyperbole. I agree, that's a waste of time, so I don't run Gentoo. I run Fedora where I can compile what I need to. Reliably. Or I'd still be on Arch.

I apply patches, test them, suggest fixes upstream. That's what I accomplish. I can't speak for everyone but I can try to help. You're welcome; it's literal maintenance. Again, not everyone does it. Remember when I said this?

> While everyone may not do this, they absolutely benefit from the ability.

Another reminder, this was the question:

> what do you actually accomplish by compiling your OS?

I do it [for components] so others don't have to. Christ. I'm explaining how it's used, not why you should change anything. I feel we mostly agree, I rambled - like I did here. It's rarely worth it. I found a decent middle ground. Build/test what I have to, most easily.

It's possible to devote too much time and energy to education, i.e. diminishing returns.

I suspect they'll start (if not already) to see pressure from perplexity and OpenAI and have to try and restore quality. I'm already using LLMs by default for most queries and when I do use Google I'm seeing only 1-2 sponsored links for even highly commercial queries so maybe they're already trying to get me back on the platform.

Without denigrating his achievements, which I can recognise and respect despite my distaste for his recent politics, that's not quite true. Musk came from a fairly wealthy and very well-connected family and was able to draw on those connections to secure opportunities that most others would not have had. That really helped when it came to sourcing funding for Zip2, and later in terms of getting someone like Bill Harris to be CEO of x.com.

But near the end of the segment "Google with its ... level of intelligence... data... has the ability... to the single best rated product" (a great example of this is trying to find "world's most comfortable chair")

This is unadulterated magic thinking. There is no such thing as "single best" product in any diverse category, especially when you want something so subjective as "comfort". Even if understood literally as "best rated" where theoretically you could have the highest number, there is no source where you could get this number from.

I'm guessing that f32::clone showing up in the profile isn't actually a call to f32::clone, because you have optimizations on (if it actually is a call to a "movd xmm0,dword ptr [rdi]; ret" instruction pair, that's a bug in the compiler). Rather it's the result of the compiler choosing to attribute seemingly-random lines to f32::clone, because when lines from multiple functions are fused into one instruction the compiler will just pick one, and it happened to pick f32::clone to write into the debug info. You really want to look at instruction-level profiling when you're profiling at that level instead of the individual functions, since debug info is going to be very unreliable.
