> My personal fear is the perturbation to MAD if routine LEO surveillance can track deep water nuclear subs of any nation in real time.

Maybe, maybe not. During the Cold War there were some pretty certifiably stupid submarine accidents[0] that didn't end up with escalation because rational people kept a level head. Neither side is going to press the red button because they saw a submarine they didn't like in their territorial waters - that's what anti-submarine weapons are for.

Similarly, I'd argue we saw how stuff like this plays out with the anti-shipping weapons used in the Cold War as well. Naval combat changed with the introduction of spy satellites that could scan vast areas of water for suspicious targets. But generating a firing solution on those vessels is not as simple as finding them on satellite, and the same goes for the F-22. Both maneuver, which is why you need some form of lock (either radar or optical - Russians use IRST to target stealth craft) which requires a some networked presence nearby to track them.

Developments like the one in the OP are interesting, but the real challenge has always been integrating it into the kill chain. Satellites are just one piece of the puzzle, and a rather small one when you can just send spies to watch your enemies airfield[1] for the same general "stealth detection" signal.

Whether language's purpose was communication or thought is not easily answered.

For one, how would you know? It left no fossils, nor do we have any other kind of record from that time.

For another, the very question implies a teleological view of evolution, which is arguably wrong.

As for what 50% of people report (where did that number come from?), we have virtually zero intuitive insight into the inner workings of our minds in general, or of the way we process language. All the knowledge that has been obtained about how language works--linguistics--has been obtained by external observation of a black box. (FMRIs and the like provide a little insight inside that black box, but only at the most general level--and again, that's not intuition.)
"that it's four components to source and install instead of one,"

The ATMega needs about ten components to get properly operational for programming vs a simple 555 timer circuit. Oh, and then you also need the programmer and toolchain for making the code.

Or you can just use some basic math and thrown down native hardware to do the job. One of the biggest off-road lighting manufacturers on the planet does exactly this with 555 timers.

I manufacture lighting controls of various sorts as my current profession.

>I don’t see what Prada brought to the aesthetics of this.

As a taxpayer whose tax dollars in part went into this, I am happy that precisely none of it went to aesthetics.

Form resulting as a consequence of function is amazing, just look at any proper jet fighter or indeed the NASA spacesuits of olde; Bruce McCandless looked amazing in his iconic EVA photo.[1]

If even a single tax cent goes directly to form over function, though? I will happily vote to defund such a waste of my tax dollars.

Internal blog post reveals Automattic's plan
I’m surprised that there hasn’t been more commentary on this.

Mullenweg’s prior comments that there weren’t any plans to pursue any other hosts or plugin developers seem to be null in the face of a bigger plan.

When you couple this with the additional (egregious) trademark registrations for terms commonly used across the community, it seems clear that there was a co-ordinated and deliberate plan.

I wonder if any other hosts or plugin developers caved in to pressure before Mullenweg turned his sights on WP Engine, or whether his enforced ‘samattical’/Tumblr tirade delayed things.
I've noticed some negative comments about Elon Musk.

However, let's focus on the issues at hand.

Prada makes tons of luggage, which from what I’ve seen and heard hold up well. They are well known for their luggage.

A lot of people look down on these types of fashion brands, as of the fashion industry isn’t a huge important part of humanity, allowing us to keep our bodies safe from the weather and conditions outdoors. Fashion is one of the most important and well researched industries, and the technology they innovate with is the whole reason we can even begin to think about sending humans to space.

Do you think a bunch of nerds in NASA are able to understand the best stitching and materials to use, and how to best design joints to allow the great freedom of movement? No way, you need the experts, like Prada.

That strawperson has nothing to do with me or how well Prada can deliver.

They do pretty well; I wouldn't dismiss them. They're leading technology organization in the history of humanity. And they have much more experience making space suits than Prada - or anyone else in the world. Also, your comment about NASA is not unlike the strawperson comments about Prada that you criticize.
On the note of OS mitigations, I've been thinking that a heavy-handed but possibly necessary (at least for highly untrusted programs) approach is to trample all over a process' cache and other relevant microarchitectural affordances whenever the process is entered. Then it should prevent a wide range of attacks, including those unknown until now. A more targeted method is messing up, say, branch predictor state when a process is being exited (i.e. preempted). I find that less intuitively reassuring, but it would reduce performance impact. In any case, I don't find techniques like retpolines or Intel IBRS plausible in the general case, so I'm inclined to go scorched earth. Not that it would likely be popular with the performance cost.

Almost all living beings process signals(especially chemical signals), bacteria for example starts making beta lactamase in presence of antibiotics.
The difficulty with react generally isn't the syntax. It's the constraints of hooks and reconciliation. Since mutation is always disallowed (but not by mechanical constraints) data changes are harder to express. You have to remember to keep your effect dependency list synchronized even though the linter can tell you when it's wrong. State continuity depends on the heuristics of the reconciler considering this component instance (and all its parents) to be some particular component instance from a previous render function output.

The syntax is maybe the only good part of react. And I still think the way it uses JSX is not great. Conditionals and .map seem... weird.

But yes, judged from syntax only, react is ok.
It is certainly one of several topics which really demand some caution to raise, such as religion, abortion, women's reproductive rights and the sexuality/gender debate, not to mention trigger warnings, campus DEI politics and academic freedom.

I am always abashed when I walk into this space and frequently resent it when I am led into it by others.

I like to imagine during the late 18th and early 19th century it was equally hard to have dispassionate discussions about slavery. In the 1920s alcoholism, and feminism. Since many years in many cultures homosexuality and according to Pierre telhard de Chardin almost always since we have looked back in time incest. I think he argued for a genetic component but perhaps not in as many words.

Consider the Rosenbergs, or David Irvine, or Sir Anthony Blunt, and how rancorous debate got. Or, F.R. Leavis and the academic career paths for professors of English at that time. I knew academics whose careers were ruined by being in the wrong department at the wrong time by that.

Or eugenics which until the Nazi rise to power was a tolerably normalised debate. Personally, I am glad we cast that into a different tone of voice but in context it might be indicative of like cases in times past.

“Repeatable identifiable categories of dubious usefulness”

Yep, there’s a lot of this in modern science.

“Is this method of classification useful? wrong question! All you need to ask is, is it easy to write a reproducible paper (or shareable web content) on this method of classification? Yes, yes it is!”

There’s a lamppost problem at work here.
It is more obvious when taken to extreme: With the current feedforward transformer architectures, there is a fixed amount of compute per token. Imagine asking a very hard question with a yes/no answer to an LLM. There are infinite number of cases where the compute available to the calculation of the next token is not enough to definitively solve that problem, even given "perfect" training.

You can increase the compute for allowing more tokens for it to use as a "scratch pad" so the total compute available will be num_tokens * ops_per_token but there still are infinite amount of problems you can ask that will not be computable within that constraint.

But, you can offload computation by asking for the description of the computation, instead of asking for the LLM to compute it. I'm no mathematician but I would not be surprised to learn that the above limit applies here as well in some sense (maybe there are solutions to problems that can't be represented in a reasonable number of symbols given our constraints - Kolmogorov Complexity and all that), but still for most practical (and beyond) purposes this is a huge improvement and should be enough for most things we care about. Just letting the system describe the computation steps to solve a problem and executing that computation separately offline (then feeding it back if necessary) is a necessary component if we want to do more useful things.

I disagree with the authors definition of accountability:

> The fundamental law of accountability: the extent to which you are able to change a decision is precisely the extent to which you can be accountable for it, and vice versa.

No.

You can absolutely be accountable for something that you can’t change a decision about. Simple example: You’re a branding agency and you decide to rename X to Y. (No pun intended). The rebrand to Y fails. You’re accountable for the failure, but likely don’t have the ability to change anything by the time you know the results of your decision.

Edit: ok, fair I agree. Bad example. A simpler example would be the person in the article continuing to point the the boss above them until there’s no one left. The chain would break somewhere along the way, but the broken chain is communication rather than one of accountability.

The information may not reach the person able to make a change. But that doesn’t make them not accountable. If that person is unable to make a change because they’re in vacation for a month without anyone filling in, that person is accountable for both the results AND future results that are caused by not having someone monitor/reroute their acckuntability.
Thanks, I did read the reply before but remain skeptical. The reason for this is "strictly-managed" teams are also often resistant to libraries in a similar way. Fully adopting a high-end solution like LanguageExt can be seen as significant commitment. If a business case justifies that, it means that adopting F# could be on the table too. And unlike Haskell, integrating "functional core" into existing .NET solutions is very easy and has low amount of friction, much less so than people tend to assume upon hearing the suggestion.

Despite the completely different architecture, it's interesting to note the similarities with a standard PC; I'm sure many others here have seen "CMOS checksum error" messages from the latter before. On the other hand, the most surprising difference is that the MAC address appears to be stored there too, along with other data like manufacturing date that I wouldn't expect to be in anything but a ROM or perhaps E(E)PROM.

All too often the front-line workers do not have a direct voice that will be responded to from above in anything but a generic way.

So without guidane from above, or in spite of it, the lower echelon ends up aligned most closely with the macro vision of what they think the company is supposed to be like traditionally or as a unit, and it's often quite a bit different than some leaders toward the top who are in position to identify and gravitate to directions that are more lucrative for themselves than the company as a whole.
Wait, do you actually buy into the myth that billionaires are billionaires because of merit?

In that example, accountability is not with the branding firm at any point. Someone at the client that hired the branding firm is accountable for approving the rebrand and someone at the client is accountable for leaving it in place.

The branding firm certainly does not seem to have performed well, from the scenario you described. But accountability is not the same as performance or even culpability.
