But without the profit motive and the need to turn a profit for a few layers of middlemen, the impact on GDP will be much smaller than in the US.

There's a reason why healthcare expenditure per capita in the US is multiple times higher than any other OECD country, and why health insurance companies are some of the biggest public ones.
I love In Our Time so much. I often wonder who, if anyone, could take over from Melvin when he's gone.
That is not the point GP was making. The assistant you mention is still paid by the municipality, so they show up in GDP numbers just as much as if you paid them yourself.

What doesn't show up in GDP numbers are cultures where people take their elderly relatives into their own homes and care for them themselves. Same as hiring someone to look after your kids, or taking them to day care, shows up in GDP; while having their grandparents or other family care for the kids while you're off to work does not.

> According to Jesus, God cannot and will not have mercy on a (n undeserving) man who does not have mercy on (undeserving) others. There is no forgiveness for those who do not forgive others. Bringing death on others is asking for death upon ourselves (and for consistency, everyone else).

I just disagree with this framing of things. First of all, you're implying that punishment necessarily implies lack of forgiveness; and conversely that forgiveness necessarily implies lack of punishment. But that would also imply that nobody can ever punish anyone: we can never fine someone who speeds, or take back from someone who stole something, or imprison someone who murdered someone.

But this is clearly unbiblical; "For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer." [1] The Bible clearly expects human beings to enact justice.

(Perhaps you mean it's OK to fine someone and throw them in jail, but not kill them. But what's the difference from the "forgiveness" perspective? If it's "not forgiveness" to kill them, isn't it also "not forgiveness" to throw them in jail, or to fine them? If capital punishment is murder, then isn't jail kidnapping, and fining theft?)

Secondly, I'd hardly even call this punishment. Hitler had already intentionally caused the death of millions of individuals loved and known by God and made in his image. This horror needed to be stopped; the people yet living need to be protected. By intentionally causing the deaths of others by his own hands, he gave up his right to be protected from death at the hands of others.

I agree that if you are filled with hate against Hitler, that you are murdering him in your heart and damaging your own soul, whether or not you kill him physically or not. But it is entirely possible to kill someone like Hitler while earnestly desiring their salvation.

Granted, this is not a decision to come to lightly; nor is killing a path to take if there are other, less-violent alternatives like voting or demonstrating. But I think in the case of Nazi Germany it was certainly warranted.

> at least not in the sense that the actual content of the string was copied anywhere

...unless it's a short string within the limits of the small-string-optimization capacity.

I think what confuses many people is that a C++ move assignment still can copy a significant amount of bytes since it's just a flat copy plus 'giving up' ownership of dangling data in the source object.

For a POD struct, 'move assignment' and 'copy assignment' are identical in terms of cost.
> The EU single market is largely a myth from the perspective of wanting to start a successful company that can compete internationally. It's not any easier now than it was before the EU existed.

This is simply not true. There is freedom of movement for workers which means it's easy to recruit top talent across the continent. Remote work is also much simplified. There's no friction moving goods and company assets across borders. The regulatory environment is significantly unified under the EU so there are few regulatory risks for companies growing outside their country within the region. Every EU company also has access to the entire continent's consumer base – 450 million residents, which is 50% more than the US.

This benefits many EU tech companies – Spotify, Revolut, Klarna, Bolt Mobility, Wise, N26, and so on and on and on.

> EU citizens like American companies

As an EU citizen, I don't bank with an American company, I don't drive an American car, I don't shop in American grocery stores nor is importing many American foods allowed on safety grounds, I don't buy American fuel, my private health insurance isn't American, and so on and forth. I only buy American tech where there isn't a more competitive Chinese alternative. I'm not against the US in any way, shape or form. I just don't think we think about the US in the EU as much as you think.

You are right in the sense that the European way of life is very different from the US way of life and we don't care that much for the economy. Yet Europe is still home to some of the largest stock markets in the world including LSE, Euronext, FSE, SIX Swiss, etc. We just don't value it as highly as other aspects in life – there is a strong sentiment of rejection of the rat race, growth of shareholder value at all costs, and other such American things in Europe.

Perhaps it would benefit you to first examine the evidence on the ground, and then re-evaluate if your belief in American values (which I respect – totally great values in many cases) blinds you to European culture around capitalism. Europe is quite socialist, after all. Naturally, less effort will be spent on capital, more on society.
But he's not arguing that it's right. That's a proactive action, not a default reaction to not arguing it's wrong.

Kent's comment is on the line, but it doesn't look abusive. Frankly I'm more curious about the assertions rather than the phrasing, which I think is only the offensive part.

Did Michal make mistake after mistake? Did he assert that crashes are better than error handling? Did his comments or actions logically lead to that happening? That does matter in system robustness.

It seems the meat of the statements Kent made were not explored, merely that he said them harshly. Holding back development because someone wouldn't apologize publicly seems pedantic. If Kent is being hyperbolic, ie inaccurate, that's the bigger concern.

Tricky to account for differences in consumer culture, no? Because the number of people who consume all they earn, no matter how much that is, is not staying equal over time or location.
Except for when it doesn't. E.g. lightbulbs are now 20x more efficient than in my childhoos. But I certainly don't use >20x more light(bulbs). In fact, I'm quite sure it's 1x.
it's the only useful definition because what else would ever be useful just for its own sake? There has to be a reference point and the moment you have one, it's technically not intrinsic anymore. So we can't do that.

Can you please elaborate further? My point is that truly world shattering groundbreaking scientific progress has slowed down significantly this century compared to the previous ones (by comparing just the first 20 years of each century)
A move constructor/operator for POD or primitive types doesn't make any sense in the first place though (also AFAIK an object that contains a std::string - like Person - is definitely not a POD?). Even if Person had a manually provided move-constructor and move-assignment-operator, a move would still perform a flat copy from the source to the destination object.
>The internet is global (or perhaps two or three regions), and winner takes all - so global value creation is being experienced everywhere, but being monetised in the US stock market.

This argument could be made for many industries. E.g. Boeing and Airbus together control almost 100% of the global passenger jet market. "Passenger jet value creation is being experienced everywhere, but being monetized in the US and EU stock market."

It's interesting to see such a long discussion of the value of a peice of art without any real attempt to wrestle with what the actual value of the art is. The copyright of Tolkien's work isn't just an amorphous blob of future cash flows. His estate is as much interested in protecting the artistic integrity of his work as it is managing the finances. To put another way, should you be forced to sell your home if your neighbour offers the government to pay more property taxes on it than you would?

I think fundamentally this article seems to be asking "There are these guys right, and they have created this fantastic stuff and it's protected by copyright, but they're not choosing the most economically productive way to use their stuff, so we should find a way to take it off them". And I'm not sure that premise is correct. If you want to create economic value from a copyrighted material please... go create some copyrighted material with economic value.

I can’t imagine choosing to listen to AI generated music. But then there is so much (uninteresting) background music everywhere that I may not even notice.

The other part is how many people you need to produce music. There are tools which can replace some of the work, such as mastering, playing an instrument or even making me a singer with a decent voice.

> The French revolution carried on from there etc. It is very much better for most people (not the aristocracy).

That's a common misconception, but the first three (original, 1830, 1848) French revolutions were failures. They paved the way for future improvements, and established important precedents like human rights and equality... but materially for the average person little changes because of the revolutions. The revolution with the biggest impact in France was undoubtedly the Industrial one, which brought social and economic mobility on a large scale.
Free tier is good, Sign up is a deal breaker for me personally - other projects might be fine with that.
For some reason I can’t help but think of the analogies of our current situation to the last years of the Soviet Union, when on paper it looked like a juggernaut albeit with decrepit leaders, but the numbers were lies, more lies and statistics. The elites were filthy rich but the situation on the ground was unraveling - basic services were starting to fail (analogies to Private Equity ruining everything in America from clinics to plumbing). And then you have Gorbachev who recognized the situation and attempted a “perestroika” (analogous to Trump and his reformist policies including DOGE) but that led to the final collapse. The analogies are just too many, even the failure in Afghanistan.
Ah, I see what you mean.

This is still strange to me.

Perhaps the context matters: I am not a fussy eater, and I love street good and cheap eats. I much prefer it to fine dining. But there's a reason for the latter: I'm a lifelong vegetarian. So long as I can get something without flesh in it, I'll eat anything, preferably deep-fried.

But whereas across the British Isles I can ask for a veggie Full English and get something good, I can't imagine walking into a food place and ordering sight-unseen, unless it was a veggie place, and they are typically upmarket and expensive, not the sort of basic joint I happen to prefer.

This thread has been an education. :-)
The reason for that is that we have offloaded defense to americans and have century of accumulated capital (legacy of colonialism) to spend. How long do you think it's going to last? Even Brussels is getting concerned and that's telling.
But I want to learn something in all of those examples. I have a goal in all I do. I need technical information in all as well and I want to gain understanding in all of those as well. It really is just a bad way to name these categories. I haven't thought about how to do it better yet, I personally like the ziglang docs where everything is presented as a huge reference document with examples in each section. The only additional thing that is needed is usually something like APIs and executable code. Of course the reference document can also have executable samples like what Stripe does. But somehow I think a dedicated section for example code is legitimate in addition to a long reference.
And to forestall the "No, I believe that Germany's failure was to not build enough renewables" reply...

It's my understanding that even if one were to direct the entire world's energy storage production capacity solely to producing energy storage for the nation of Germany, it would be insufficient to produce enough energy storage to meet the needs of Germany's energy requirements, given any even vaguely-plausible buildout of "renewable" power generation facilities.

Germany doesn't have enough of the geology and geography required to have much "always on" "renewable" power, so it MUST primarily rely on intermittent sources... which means that they in order to make up the shortfalls, they need to have enough storage (which I understand to be currently impossible), reliable rampable power (like nuclear or petrochemical), or some combination of the two. There's just no real alternative.

Well, I guess there IS something of an alternative. Industry that requires reasonably-priced electricity can flee the country, reducing Germany's overall energy requirements. (Though, surely nowhere near enough to make much of a dent in the electricity costs.)
What about the 45% who would just pay it off with cash/savings?
Revolutions definitely change things, not necessarily for the better though(depending on what you expect from the revolution). You can have change without a revolution, like with the Brits and Magna Carta.
There was a poll asking "what was your motivation to vote the way you did", and "the state of the economy" ranked pretty high among Trump voters (don't remember where I saw it though, sorry).
That's cool, and useful for some applications, but it's still not a replacement for basically anything the average person would use a battery for.
> Opioids are bad.

all fine here (CH)
Wisdom, right here. My position has one foot in the engineering department and one on the factory floor. The engineers think the factory workers are all troglodytes that just have to push buttons, and the factory workers think the engineers don't do anything but sit in front of the computer. Oddly, both believe the other does not have to think because the machine/computer does all the thinking for them, which is so far from the truth.

It all seems to grow from a Seed of Ignorance:; a complete lack of understanding of what someone else's job actually entails, coupled with the subjective measure of how difficult a thing is which is largely based on our own narrow limitations and experiences. It's a weed that grows easily and is difficult to kill in the manufacturing sector.

(obv. I don't know you or your routine, whether you move often by default or are not neurotypical, YMMV)

In case you haven't done that before: I suggest an experiment where you try to have a moderate amount of exercise (w few min in zone 2 cardio) before or during a break at work. Do it for 2-3 weeks and see if there's a difference in your cognitive performance.

I'm saying that not only because:

- there's scientific consensus that lack of exercise negatively impacts our cognitive abilities. Your thought sponge is a part of your body; our minds and bodies are not separate systems. *

- At some point I realised I was used to my default mental state (or performance, so to speak), and never noticed how much better I could feel/think after including more exercise in my life.

* many people would agree that Descartes and mind-body dualism is to blame here, at least partially.

I am 57. I've been working in this industry for 36 years. The computer world is no closer to machine intelligence today than it was in 1988 when I walked into my first job. It's no closer than in 1981 when I touched my first microcomputer.

LLM bots are not in any way intelligent, but they do expose a type of flawed non-analytical thinking in humans that is easily persuaded that a machine is intelligent if it can emit coherent sentences.

I think you are totally wrong and that this will be abundantly apparent in a decade, perhaps in half a decade. The next few years will usher in the latest AI winter, just as they did a generation ago and a generation before that.

Keep in mind that "undocumented" is a term-of-art. They may in practice be extremely well documented, in every regard except for an active visa.

A significant portion of "illegal" immigration is folks who have overstayed a legitimate work visa (and hence obtained a social security number during the visa application process), and there's also the whole bucket of folks who applied for a social security card under the DACA (which protections have since been mostly rescinded).

I don't see how von Neumann's work here helps at eliminating the problem and is arguably not particularly different than "just use more LLMs". His key result was to come up with a sufficient number of redundant computations to get the error below a threshold, which is still unreliable. This problem is worse because the fundamental issue is even trying to quantify what "correct" means.

Your suggestion at evaluating accuracy at the layers level necessarily implies there's some method of quantifiably detecting hallucinations. This is not necessarily possible given the particular attention models or even what is mathematically possible given an "infer this from finite text and no ability for independent verification"
