The idea that populations always need to grow is so American. Or really religious in general, many religious groups in Europe also proclaim this. It's important to realise that this is the method of survival of religions, this is why it's so ingrained in their dogma. The organism of religion depends on it.

However it's totally unsustainable. Sure, countries like Japan will have a tough time as the bulk of the ageing population matures but after that they will be in a better position for a stable occupancy. Less pressure on resources and housing, more ecological sustainability.

Our planet really doesn't benefit from having many billions of us around. And many of the problems we see, like climate change and pollution, are a direct result of that.

My bet is, once the car companies fully understand the lifetime value of the data, there will be an option to opt out by paying that monetary value up front. My guess is it’ll be an expensive “executive” model used mostly by governments and criminals.

Unless some serious privacy examples get reported and it scares the politicians in California and California puts in place special laws to force “non tracking” to be a legal option.

One final weird option would be. I wonder if you could put children in your car and sue the car company in California because the car company is collecting data on minors without your consent? Do the car terms and condition handle data associated with minors correctly?

But it is NOT that hard for HN community to get VOIP number over SIP. All the smart phones have a sip client now days.
I don't think the predisposition to have children is genetic though. At least not mostly. It's more an effect of circumstances and living conditions. A lot of people just had kids as a retirement fund (basically still the case in poor countries) or because it was pushed on them by religion.

Personally I just think it's just a lot of hassle and I don't think it adds much value to my life. Others will of course differ in opinion hugely.

One thing is sure to me though, humanity isn't going to die out. Our planet is overpopulated as it is.
Not an expert, but could this have to do with financing? I've read of property owners keeping high rents despite it leading to empty spaces because "lower rents -> lower property assessment value by banks -> worse financing terms". I'm sure someone here can correct me.
For me it is a lot about the noise and feeling of the dial, I get satisfaction out of them.

You can use opto-electronic isolators on a direct digital link as well.

You could also just connect up to the computer via TOSLINK, that has no backchannel and no risk of interference either.
I generate a report in our software and 70.000 cells work like a breeze (1000 rows, 70 columns). React just can’t handle adding an input to a cell.

It’s unacceptable. React touts its shadow-dom “because it’s much more efficient than updating the DOM directly”, well, that’s a big lie.

React is better than all predecessors, but it’s still the wrong abstraction.
I've been active in data visualization for the past decade or so and the closest I've found to what you describe is Visualize This.
Detected = measured. They are equivalent actions. You can even trivially metricise such a situation - plot it on a graph, x axis time & y axis a plot of "did we detect it?".
Fantastic news, it all needs to collapse before things get better. A crash on the office real estate market would be a huge long-term boon for society.
While that's true, you're also getting much more for that: 4x Cores + WiFi + Bluetooth. The 2W is slow but usable compared to the original, which really wasn't. The original $5 can't even be matched by most ESP32 dev boards.

I suspect they sold the original either at a loss and/or just to get rid of excess inventory of that original Broadcom SoC - which is also why it was a hard-to-get limited run.
The dependency on scaling size is precisely my point. There's fuzzy boundaries where one or another approach starts making sense. If you don't know where those boundaries are, if you don't know what business requirements are going into these decisions, then keep things as simple as possible until you do. In other words, don't try to build an airport before you've understood what an aeroplane even is!

Quite recently I saw a completed(!) web application project split up into microservices because the enterprise architect insisted that this was the only acceptable approach, and a monolith was "wrong" somehow. A staggering amount of time, money, and effort was expended to basically make a functioning application worse in every possible way.

Nobody could understand it, and the EA couldn't explain other than just waving his hands about and making vague, unspecific noises.
That is an interesting perspective. I disagree that there is no deception, but do see the validity in your point. Thank you.

If this is blog spam, everything is. The disappointment sinks in when you realize that they are people who are waiting for things rather than trying to create functional equivalents.
Well I'm super happy that I never had kids. I'm nearly in my 50s and I still live as a younger person because I never had to have much responsibility. As such I can enjoy my own life much more. I still go out dancing until 6am every weekend and move to a different country every decade or so. I couldn't do any of those things if i had a 'stable' family.
Yeah I think that kind of thing isn't supposed to be "predictive". The "rules" in series aren't very clear, sometimes they type stuff out into a keyboard, sometimes they connect a cable from their head, sometimes they just pass stuff around/hack basically just just "telepathically" without even needing the wire, they do whatever seems cool for a scene. I think the "splitting fingers" thing happens in one of the movies but also in SAC, but I think the point is just that it looks interesting and seeing the fingers do that and start suddenly typing quickly gives a sense of tension/urgency that you wouldn't get if it was just the character sitting back and staring at the screen (even if "in universe" they're able to work just as effectively that way)
> This seems like exactly the sort of question the market will quickly decide over the next couple of years and not worth arguing over.

> Despite decades of research on this problem, it is still necessary for human experts to iterate for weeks with the existing placement tools, in order to produce solutions that meet multi-faceted design criteria.

Ironically, this sounds a lot like building a bot to play StarCraft, which is exactly what AlphaStar did. I had no idea that EDA layout is still so difficult and manual in 2024. This seems like a very worth area of research.

I am not an expert in AI/ML, but is the ultimate goal: Train on as many open source circuit designs as possible to build a base, then try to solve IC layouts problems via reinforcement learning, similar to AlphaStar. Finally, use the trained model to do inference during IC layout?
Great suggestions, thanks for this. I agree, Escape from New York (and many other 80s films) do have some awesome green line graphic design.

So the company that invented it does not know how to properly use it?

Or are you implying that React does not fit FB use case?
> From where I'm sitting it looks like, "Google spent a fortune on deep learning, and got a small but real win. People who don't like Google failed to follow Google's recipe and got a large and easily replicated loss."

From where I'm sitting it looks like Google cooked the books maximally, barely beat humans let alone state of the art algorithms, published a crappy article in Nature because it would never have passed editorial muster at something like DAC or an IEEE journal and now have to browbeat other people who are calling them out on it.

And that's the best interpretation we can cough up.

I'll go further, we don't even have any raw data that says that they actually did beat the humans. Some of the humans I know who run P&R are REALLY good at what they do. The data could be completely made up. Given how much scientific fraud has come out lately, I'm amazed at the number of people defending Google on this.

Where I'm from, we call what Google is doing both "lying" and "bullying".

Look, Google can easily defuse this in all manner of ways. Publish their raw data. Run things on testbenches and benchmarks that the EDA tools vendors have been running on for years. Run things on the open source VLSI designs that they sponsored.

What I suspect happened is that Google's AI group has gotten used to being able to make hyperbolic marketing claims which are difficult to verify. They then poked at place and route, failed, and published an article anyway because someone's promotion is tied to this. They expected that everybody would swallow their glop just like every other time, be mostly ignored and the people involved can get their promotions and move on.

Unfortunately, Google is shoveling bullshit around something that has objective answers; real money is at stake; and they're getting rightfully excoriated for it.

Whoops.
Here’s what we know:

1. Since David Mayer can still be generated using an API, this was done deliberately at the ChatGPT presentation layer.

2. Same behavior happens when attempting to produce “Jonathan Turley” who was a subject of a high profile complaint in 2023 in which ChatGPT accused him of sexual misconduct.

3. One user on Reddit got it to output a |oai:code-citation| instead of Mayer

This is most likely due to a complaint, or a lawsuit, or a court order related to an individual David Mayer (probably not the Rothchild). Judging by how this censorship is implemented — through this ugly kludge — it’s likely mandated by legal.
Our engineers feed a LLM engineering plans as a quality control. Not as a replacement of any of the regular process, simply as an additional step. It discovered what would’ve been a fairly serious error in some component design for one of our energy plants that nobody else had caught. Similarity it “fact checked” one of our subcontractors on something with cable sizes that I honestly don’t understand. Finding a better option than what the subcontractor was suggesting. I say “fact checked” because you shouldn’t think of it as that since everything it outputs need to be actual fact checked.

I mostly view LLMs as advanced auto-complete for what I do and haven’t been very impressed by them, but some of the examples our engineers show us are wild.
> EDA companies are garbage

I don't understand this comment. Can you please explain? Are they unethical? Or do they write poor software?
I’m going to be the devil’s advocate because I’m from the team "no SPA at all unless you have a real need like real time" but to me, Angular is the less worse when it comes to writing SPAs in teams.

Clumsy and hard to learn ? Sure. The code looking less cool than other frameworks ? Of course. Unbearably slow compiler ? Check.

But at least you got a full fledged, batteries included framework, with a powerful DI system and an established architecture to follow. Not the funniest framework but it works.

The only powerful thing but also big flaw with angular is that they deliberately expose a lot of the framework internals with a very neutral documentation that never explains that you shouldn’t touch this or this in most cases. It allows very nice and clean extensions of the framework but, oh my, if you inherit a codebase from a "smart guy" who knows the framework inside and out and "did better" than the boring angular architecture, then good luck.

I know this can happen in any codebase and I’ve seen it everywhere but Angular exposes so much things that you can make horrible things.

But in a team who have a boring CRM or SaaS front end it’s a pretty good framework to use. Except if you can do everything server side.

One of the key themes in GITS is the interaction between biological and computer systems. Those rapidly typing fingers are probably the perfect physical metaphor for exploring that idea: how one could maximize data transfer between a physical/biological input system and a computer one.
I think the question that we are discussing here is:

What amount of performance issues you will not need to fix if you were not using React to begin with?
I think first and foremost, if you're going to use a tool like this, you need to do everything through the tool.

That said, for zero downtime migrations there are a number of techniques, but it typically boils down to splitting the migration into two steps where each step is rolled out to each server before starting the next: https://teamplify.com/blog/zero-downtime-DB-migrations/ https://johnnymetz.com/posts/multistep-database-changes/ etc

I'm not sure if there's anything that automates this, but it'd probably need to involve the infrastructure layer (like terraform) too.

Edit: There's one other approach I've heard of for zero downtime deployments:

Start running the new version in new instances/services parallel to the old version, but pause it before doing any database stuff. Drain client connections to the old version and queue them. Once drained, stop the old version, perform database migrations, and start the new version, then start consuming the queue.

This is (I think) more general but you could get client timeouts or need to kill long requests to the old version, and requires coordination between infrastructure (load balancer?) and software versions.
It is mostly unnecessary for a modern country to do, so we mostly don’t, right?
All of the highest impact papers authored by DeepMind and Google Brain have appeared in Nature, which is the gold standard for peer-reviewed natural science research. What exactly are you trying to claim about Google's peer-reviewed papers?
> Sure is odd that a good number of react-and-friends websites can’t manage to support it all then.

I don't think that's true. More likely, you use react websites all the time and don't even think about it because the links work as you expect.
i hear you ;)

although i'd counter with the idea that it isn't code-writing which we practice continually to master the art, but world modelling: we model the world within the constraints of code in our mind, to become experienced enough to do so reliably, then usefully within different contexts

Dr Oz is a Quack outside of his domain of expertise. He is board certified and it doesn’t stop him from promoting snake oil products.
Let's assume that some malicious third party has control of the certificate that was created by this fishy CA. The main attack that they could carry out is a man in the middle (MitM) attack. This attack requires this malicious third party to be able to intercept and change the contents of requests being sent to google.com and someone's web browser.

A MitM attack can be easily carried out by someone in control of an ISP, or someone in control of a WiFi network. So, if you trust your ISP and your WiFi network, realistically you have nothing to worry about.

The reason that this issued certificate could allow an attack like this to happen is because all websites nowadays use HTTPS connections, and certificate authorities are the entities that tell your web browser that certain certificates are legit. They confirm that a website is actually that website.

If you visit some website and someone tries to do a MitM attack between your web browser and that website, the web page should fail to load because if they try to change the certificate, your web browser should reject it because it is invalid.

IE6 was 95%+ at its peak, Chrome is barely at 60%+ if you take iOS Safari into account.
> Nothing about AlphaChip even reaches ordinary evidence.

You reply is wildly confident and dismissive. If correct, why did Nature choose to publish?
You are correct. For commercial use, the GPUs used for training and fine-tuning aren't a problem financially. However, if we wanted to rigorously benchmark AlphaChip against simulated annealing or other floorplanning algorithms, we have to afford the same compute and runtime budget to each algorithm. With 16 GPUs running for 6 hours, you could explore a huge placement space using any algorithm, and it isn't clear if RL will outperform the other ones. Furthermore, the runtime of AlphaChip as shown in the Nature paper and ISPD was still significantly greater than Cadence's concurrent macro placer (even after pre-training, RL requires several hours of fine-tuning on the target problem instance). Arguably, the runtime could go down with more GPUs, but at this point, it is unclear how much value is coming from the policy network / problem embedding vs the ability to explore many potential placements.

Yes and yes.

EDA companies are gatekeeping monopolies. They absolutely abuse their monopoly position to extract huge chunks of money out of companies, and are pretty much single-handedly responsible for the fact that the hardware startup ecosystem is moribund compared to that of the software startup ecosystem.

They have been horrible liars about performance and benchmarketing for decades. They dragged their feet miserably over releasing Linux versions of their software because they were extracting money based upon number of CPU licenses (everything was on Sparc which was vastly inferior). Their software hasn't really improved all that much over decades--mostly they benefited from Moore's Law. They have made a point of stifling attempts at interoperability and open data exchange. They have bought lots of competitors mostly to just shut them down. I can go on and on.

The EDA companies aren't quite Oracle--but they're not far off.

This is one of the reasons why Google is getting pounded over this--maybe even unfairly. People in the field are super sensitive about bullshit claims from EDA vendors--we've heard them all and been on the receiving end of the stick far too many times.
> The EDA industry is (has to be) ultra conservative.

What is special about EDA that requires it to be more conservative?
“The truth is that it longed to yield. Ten years ago any symmetry with a semblance of order — dialectical materialism, anti-Semitism, Nazism — was sufficient to entrance the minds of men. How could one do other than submit to Tlön, to the minute and vast evidence of an orderly planet?”

To me, this suggests rather clearly something similar to the OP’s interpretation. His drawing on of this story as allegory for our future occurs to me also as apt, and what I imagine as what Borges would have envisioned.

I also don’t quite follow your assertion that “social perception obviously wholly creates the real and only reality”, as social perception clearly varies by each persons’ distinct society - and anyhow even if considered on the level of the entire society, such a vast, sprawling perception could hardly be considered a singular “only” reality.
Yes, this was inspired by NotebookLM. Developed an API system that allows one to extend it towards their own apps, too. Thank you for checking it out. Much appreciated.
