The problem with popular tools is that they have more bugs that can be fixed. So bug reports are pretty much worthless: You know that there are 1000 bugs out there, but you only have resources to fix 10 of them.

By asking users to provide reproducible test cases, you can massively reduce the amount of work you have to do. Of course that means 90% of bugs will never be reported. But since you don't have the resources to fix them anyway, why not just focus on the bugs that can be reproduced and come with a test case...
It's important to put into context, and to maybe do more analysis into 0.1% and 0.01% and so on, because many of us, while being "one percenters" are neither really rich nor really pollute a lot.

The new Freenet is more of a communication than a storage medium which makes content moderation less of an issue, but we're planning to build a decentralized reputation system based on the idea of "web of trust" that should do at least as good a job of protecting people from stuff they don't want to see as today's centralized services.

Deeply ironic considering how wrong Boeing has been in so many other ways, but, its been fairly obvious that the hub-and-spoke model the A380 was built for was dying in favor of the point-to-point model of the 787/777x.

Airbus will adjust far better than Boeing could have, had they been wrong.
A key difference between many compilers and DB query planners, is that a compiler can spend more time over its optimisations because it is run dev-side and the benefits (and none of the time taken) are felt by the users. A query planner needs to be more conservative with its resource use.

This is not true of JIT compilers, of course, which have similar constraints to DB query planners. In these cases the goal is to do a good job pretty quickly, rather than an excellent job in a reasonable time.

I'm not sure it's presented as removing expressions of uncertainty.

But modern writing instruction tend to prioritize precise verbs and nouns (choose the most precise word) and takes a very critical eye towards adverbs, adjectives, or prepositional phrases that might simply contribute to cadence, affect, and voice. I find it really hostile to style and readability, but it's easy to evaluate in education because you can just call out the flavoring bits as errors and point to a more precise dictionary word for what's left. Plus, it projects objectivity simply in it being "the most right way" to write, leaving the dirty mess of subjectivity, character, and humanity out of the classroom.

But the relevant end result of all that is that there's very little room for qualifiers or tentatitiveness, as those are usually expressed exactly in those subtle modifiers that people are trained to exclude.

And then this does end up coinciding with a truth of rhetoric, which is that -- much of the time -- the receiver of speech or writing will implicitly accept whatever authority and surety you project. If you sound sure, you must be sure, and if you're so sure, you must have reason to be, so you're probably right.

Put these together, and you get dull, dense technical writing with authoritative, objective tone and people are too overwhelmed and passive to bother parsing it enough challenge it.

Thanks for the engaged discussion, I am not an economist but find this fascinating to learn about.

My understanding is that paper's key point is the higher the absolute economic output the larger fraction of that output can be re-invested in efficiency/technological improvements, which compounds over time and leads to increasing gaps between different countries. Did I get that right even if very simplified? I'd also be curious to read De Long's most recent book since he says he has significantly changed his opinions in the intervening 30 years and has swung significantly leftwards.

As for the issue of comparing Mississippi and Germany, backing out state-level vs US growth for comparison adds some challenge, but best I can figure for the period since 1997 that I can find data, they both have roughly the same 1.4x real GDP growth, which lags the US at 1.7x. I still take issue with the implication that Germany is somehow doing worse than Mississippi, but agree the US is clearly doing better at growing in absolute terms.

Why are you confident HDI is "certainly not" a better comparison than GNI? You seem to imply that comparing achieved education levels is a bad thing or worthless? Life expectancy is confounded by population-level differences, but I would be surprised though to learn that genetic predisposition to diabetes/obesity accounts for a majority of the difference in life expectancy. In particular, diabetes rates in MS have been increasing rapidly over the last decade but falling in Germany, much more than genetic pool changes would account for. That points to environmental causes - access to healthcare, nutrition, etc.. which are very much within the abilities of the state to impact.
I was wondering what HPPD are, for anyone else in the same boat:

> Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) is a non-psychotic disorder in which a person experiences apparent lasting or persistent visual hallucinations or perceptual distortions after using drugs,[1] including but not limited to psychedelics, dissociatives, entactogens, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and SSRIs.[2][3] Despite being designated as a hallucinogen-specific disorder, the specific contributory role of psychedelic drugs is unknown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_percep...

So, from the get go the relation to psychedelics is pretty murky ?

Your analysis is off. By a lot.

On paper, YC's companies are worth $600b & YC acquires 7% early on. But, that's before VCs like a16z, Sequoia, Softbank, etc. start investing say, $100M into single rounds, sometimes buying up to 25% of a startup in a single round of funding.

And YC companies take extremely long to get listed publicly (where Y Combinator can then offload most of their stock). Crunchbase says Airbnb went through 30 rounds of funding, Coinbase raised 20 times, and Doordash raised 13 times.

I know YC Continuity makes follow-on investments, but they're microscopic, compared to mainstream VCs. So, by the time a YC portfolio company goes public, Y Combinator probably owns 1%.

And then, we have to factor in that YC companies tend to disproportionately do badly after going public.

17 YC companies have gone public. 4 have gone to zero. 3 of lost 80% of their pre-IPO value. 8 others have lost 10% - 50%, while only Airbnb, Instacart, and Reddit have been positive. [0]

And I'll assume that YC can't sell stock right away, until after a lock-up period, which might expose them to further downside.

So, assuming YC owns 1% of their portfolio companies and we don't account for aggressive stock market losses (i.e.,), and PG owns 20% of YC, then he's worth roughly $1.2b - mostly in illiquid stock.

I bet PG can front $100M in a few hours, with a call to his bank, so he's not hurting for money. But, your analysis is off.

maybe I don't use the words right, but go to each of their wikipedia pages and search for the word "court".

Arguing against query planning by pointing at a quote about databases is wild. Automatic query planning is ubiquitous and hugely succesfull in databases.
I don't get how you can conclude it is a myth. These are observations on how people think. What is the myth part. I can clearly observe myself doing fast intuitive decisions which I might even not know the logical reasoning behind, but also I can solve problems by thinking through them using my internal monologue. Are these myths?
I agree about the EEG part. I was curious how they managed to get that work, and found [0], which seem to confirm my guess: they didn't - they went for EMG instead. Now EMG sounds very plausible, given that it's well-understood, already applied for "controlling with thought" (prosthetics), and a person can learn to make their signal more clear/intentional, easier for the machine to understand.

As for 54 bits per second[1], that's assuming healthy person speaking, which is not relevant here. Communication systems for people unable to talk, write or sign because of ALS, paralysis, or similar things, do not have to aim for 54 bits per second! A few bits per second is already great! The alternative is no communication, or like half a bit per second but only when you're paying very close attention.

Here are some quotes from [0] about the most important aspects of the solution:

> “The LLM expands what you’re saying. And then I confirm before sending it back. So there’s an interaction with the LLM where I build what I want it to say, and then I get to approve the final message,” explained Pedro. (...) “The LLM that takes a basic prompt and expands it into a fully fledged answer, almost right away. I wouldn’t have time to type all of that in the natural way. So I’m using the LLM to do the heavy lifting on the response,” he added.

> He also pointed out that the wearer has absolute control of what they are outputting: “It’s not recording what I’m thinking. It’s recording what I want to say. So it’s like having a conversation.

So no magic here. Seems like a direct combination of:

1. Using EMG as input to get specific words/phrases;

2. Using LLM to expand those into full-blown sentences;

3. Using a TTS model to sound it out in a person's voice.

Feels like 2 and 3 could be applied to existing solutions across various ranges of illness and disabilities.

100K/day is less than 2/second. I think those numbers need to be updated on the SQLite page. For a read heavy workload, like serving static files, SQLite can do much more. Since the content caching headers are set, the browser will cache content, causing request to the server to be required for new clients only. I do not expect SQLite to be the bottleneck for most use cases.
I think it’s reasonable to argue that compelling speech that results in access to otherwise-private information that may be incriminating is _also_ a (potential) violation of self-incrimination.
> I was bitten by one that injected timing attacks into certain integer operations by branching on the integer data in order to optimize 32-bit multiplications on 8-bit microcontrollers.

FWIW, I think this should be considered a language design problem rather than an optimizer design problem. Black box optimizer behaviour is good for enabling language designs that have little connection to hardware behaviour, and good for portability including to different extensions within an ISA.

C doesn't offer a way to express any timing guarantees. The compiler, OS, CPU designer, etc. can't even do the right thing if they wanted to because the necessary information isn't being received from the programmer.
Yes, that is the biggest engineering effort of the whole thing, how to add the value types concept into the JVM, without breaking the ecosystem.

JARs and modules that work on the JVM before value types introduction should keep running, and how can new code interoperate with such jars.
"Insane" and "gets working results quickly" are not mutually exclusive categories. You can cut off the limbs you don't need to live if you wanted to lose weight too but that's a very poor and rash decision that will be reciprocated by your lifespan and overall health and fitness.

> In my view, if a compiler optimization is so critical that users rely on it reliably “hitting” then what you really want is for that optimization to be something guaranteed by the language using syntax or types. The way tail calls work in functional languages comes to mind.

Automatic vectorisation is another big one. It feels to me like vectorisation is less reliable / more complex than TCO? But on the other hand the downside is a linear slowdown, not "your program blows the stack and crashes".
~500$ for a 250/400W panel seems absurd, here in Italy you can buy a 500W solar panel for 100€ without effort or less. Given that you can buy a pallet of them, you can probably pay less than 100€ per 500W, I have found deals down to 77€ per 550W panel with pallets of 31 (31x550=+17k at 2405€), shipment included, and I'm talking about new half cell panels, not old stuff.

I see.

You haven't expounded on the clues/issues you found in Ruth's interviews though; I'm still pretty curious to hear them.
I've got a wake-up light, probably 10 years old by now. It's a dumb machine, no wifi or QI or anything, but it's got a leg up over "old-fashioned" alarm clocks; the clock is red lights and dimmable to "barely visible in daytime", it's a very adjustable light from just enough to not stumble to burning out retinas (and comfortable reading in-between), it's got a radio and builtin "gentle waking up sounds" that are actually pretty horrible because of the tinny speakers. But preferable over morning radio that's usually announcers laughing or terrible music.

Downsides: Very expensive, it stopped working at one point but I replaced the power adapter and it was fine, tinny speakers like I said, and its design is round and on a very narrow base so it'll topple whenever you smack its touch sensitive surface to snooze it.

Before that I had a traditional alarm clock with yellow letters, radio, the works, had that for like 20 years before replacing it. The letters on that were stupidly bright so we stuck an unused photo film in front of it with tape.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's much of a guarantee that value objects wouldn't result in heap allocations. https://openjdk.org/jeps/401 even contains:

> So while many small value classes can be flattened, classes that declare, say, 2 int fields or a double field, might have to be encoded as ordinary heap objects.

There's a further comment about potential of opting out of atomicity guarantees to not have that problem, but then there are more problems - looks like pre-JIT would still allocate, and who knows how consistent would JIT be about scalarization. IIRC there was also some mention somewhere about just forcing large enough value objects to always be heap allocations.

Maybe if we had HTML6 we wouldn’t be in this scenario. HTML5 was great but form building on the web (without JS) is a second-rate experience. And it’s even more miserable once JS is in the mix, but hey developers can provide a much better UX for end users than HTML and CSS alone could possibly provide.

Sorry Alex, but without JS the web would have died a decade ago as phones took over. It’s only JS that keeps us in the ring.

Just like with wildlife charities, those dang charismatic-megaavians get all the public-attention - so the nonthreatening and cuddly appearance of the A380 gets to be on the sponsor-an-airframe marketing posters, but people need to be aware of the importance of strong aerodiversity and the need to protect and preserve smaller planes, like a Piper Club or an Ekranoplane.
