It's as if big journals are after some drama. Or excitement at least. Not just an important result, but a groundbreaking result in its own right. If it's a relatively small achievement that finishes a long chain of gradual progress, it better be some really famous problem, like Fermat's last theorem, Poinrcaré's conjecture, etc.

I wonder if it's actually optimal from the journal's selfish POV. I would expect it to want to publish articles that would be cited most widely. These should be results that are important, that is, are hubs for more potential related work, rather that impressive but self-contained results.

How do you be certain that ShredOS or any other component does its job? You can always physically burn the drive, but make sure you actually watch it turn to slag.
> The whole scenario only exists because of the axiom introduced between points 3 and 5...

I'll argue that the higher-level context introduced in point 2 is even more important here: "ORG shifts from assume we have infinite budget mode to we need to break even next year or we’ll die" i.e. the whole scenario exists not because the business can't accurately evaluate TCO, it's because the business is in do-or-die mode and long-term TCO doesn't matter NOW.

That is, this whole scenario takes place in a situation where there is a organizationally vital need to cut costs. What happens afterwards is a trade of long-term risk (internalizing an essential business function and giving it a bus factor of one) for immediate financial improvement (no more SaaS spend). Long-term TCO doesn't matter if the company collapses next quarter, right?

And in that short-term frame, the project is an unqualified success: X10 delivers exactly what was needed, and the SaaS spend is eliminated. But the risk hits: X10 leaves the company.

[So, pointing out this hypothetical company isn't correctly estimating TCO is correct, but irrelevant; they're in a position where having to pay the long term costs will be a better problem than the one they have now - a reasonable business decision, though not a great one to have to make.]

For what it's worth, I completely agree with your original point: organizations really do systemically underestimate the total cost of ownership of a service. Within the example in the article, the flawed assumption is pretty explicitly laid out in point 7: "For all intents and purposes, development is done, they only need to keep the lights on." - and exploring WHY this assumption is flawed is the core of the article (section 3).

So, ultimately I agree with dambi0 in the GP comment - the lede hasn't been buried here, rather the whole article is a discussion of one aspect of the very point you make. Why DO organizations systematically underestimate service TCO? Because, at least in part, there is not yet a widespread understanding that a service is not "software" in and of itself; rather, a service is the organizational understanding of a solution to an organizational problem domain, and maintaining organizations is orders of a magnitude more expensive than maintaining tools in and of themselves.
It doesn't need to be a lot - just replaced in the same cadence as the latency from initial broadcast to key revocation. Even if it's all in-house in Netflix and the watermark sufficient to identify the specific device key not all releases are made instantly after being made available on the platform, it still has to be downloaded, verified, watermark extracted before the key can be revoked.

If that's just a total of a single day, 365 cheap netflix devices per year certainly isn't out of the question, especially with the number of people involved in the many ripping groups.
There might be a power struggle, but a civil war? Nope. For that, you'd need (at least two) roughly equally matched adversaries controlling the armed forces. You don't see anything like that and such division doesn't spring up out of nothing.

China will also not invade Siberia, it's much easier to control it economically than turning your quasi-ally into a mortal enemy. (besides, nukes)
> It is not a good way of doing science, but it is the best we have.

What makes you think so? We already have and had plenty of other ways. Eg you can see how science is done in corporations or for the military or for fun (see those old gentlemen scientists, or amateurs these days), and you can also just publish things on your own these days.

The only real function of these old fashioned journals is as gatekeepers for funding and career decisions.
Insurance won't typically cover your car if you rent it out via Turo.
I’ve never considered it before but buying a Cybertruck to rent out short term is probably a good money spinner in Vegas.
Ah, living up to the Turkish rep for being super nationalistic and defensive, I see. Also, seems like GPT or similar did a major overhaul on this comment.
Take that to its logical conclusion: the key problems are car-dependence and, well, capitalism.

We completeely design our cities around cars. Just the act of walking 30 minutes a day makes a huge difference. If you can get that just going about your day, then it's kind of built into your life, almost "free". But walking (like every other form of exercise) has to be an intentional activity in a car-centric city.

Car-dependence didn't just happen. It was intentional and relates heavily to economic segregation.

So what about capitalism? Well, leisure time, from the perpsective of capitalism, is lost revenue. Where once you needed 1 full time job, now you need 2 plus 3 "side gigs". Housing costs, student loans, education costs, your cars and student loan debt are all designed to keep you working, creating wealth for someone else.
> It was not the metal pieces. It was one flat piece with a drawing of the pieces on it.

That is the attempt to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Even the seller was marketing their machine-gun conversion kits as AR-related devices that the ATF wished didn't existed.

The seller even posted puerile pseudo legal disclaimers such as don't use them to do anything illegal

It's baffling how these puerile arguments boil down to expecting everyone to be binded to a very specific and far-fetched literal interpretation of a specific part of the law while keeping to themselves the fact that it is actually a blatant violation that's kept as an in-joke. When their poorly-thought-through stunt blows up on their face and see the law still applies, they clutch their pearls claiming they demand law enforcement should be stupid and incompetent enough to fall for their gimmicks.
Good grief. The GP was the one claiming that corporate customers don't like doing in-place major OS upgrades. I'm just accepting that assertion for the sake of argument, because it seems obvious that it will not have the effect that the GP claims.

But it seems that you're disagreeing with the GP. So let's say for the sake of argument that you're right about that. Just what is your theory for how the Windows 11 TPM requirement is leading to more Windows licensing revenue?
Anyone ever look at doing a MoE like composition with RWKV and a transformer?

> To expand on this - because if the barrier to publishing is zero, then the "reputation" of the publisher is also zero.

That's fine. I don't read eg Astral Codex Ten because I think the reputation of Substack is great. The blog can stand entirely on its own reputation (and the reputation of its author), no need for the publisher to rent out their reputation.

See also Gwern.net for a similar example.

No need for any voting.
You're treating the human body as a far simpler system that it actually is, leading to drawing unsupported conclusions about the efficacy of exercise as an intervention for fat loss.
When I try to log into AWS console and have to solve their captcha I always think that the target audience that this is designed to avoid can easily automate it (Some open source models can solve this without all that "AI safety" gatekeeping) while the majority of audience are simply suffering from this "feature".

Apple has proposed a solution to captcha[1] which I can't wait to be standardized and widely used.

I’m working on a project in go right now, and I’m really, really enjoying it, but I really do not disagree with you. AI has helped me overcome those framework hurdles. The codebase feels extremely clean to me.

If I look over the ingredients my inner philosopher can't seem to combine them into a palletable meal. It all starts with the absurdly naive idea that you can just let people post things they want and that it will all work out nicely. Then we get rid of all sensible limitations and replace them with senseless ones. Imagine how easy it is to make the incorrect content. You can pull your pants down in seconds. We can't show that stuff to grown ups let alone children. How tribal people running around naked manage to survive no one knows. Then there is the ocean of garbage content in the middle that might actually start out as something very valuable if grandma is the only audience. Poof! The baby is world famous all of a sudden and stays that baby the rest of their lives. Other mum's want their baby to be equally special and make the effort.

It's such a weird plot I can't even form a satisfactory opinion about its components let alone the sum.

Armies of men and women behind the curtain try to answer the question every day with very mixed results. Where they are collectively sure stuff is unfit to look at they've already looked at it.

To actually describe the topic various things need to be said that may not be written on some platforms or by law.

In what sense? If you put it on a website, you can publish a lot more without breaking a sweat.

People who want a dead tree version can print it out on demand.

If they’re secretly replacing the batteries then it’s not a recall. A recall needs to be communicated through NHTSA.
George HW Bush built part of his folksy persona around hating the taste of broccoli. If one day he tried eating broccoli and enjoyed it, would he tell everyone? Likely he'd choose to keep his reputation and just keep his new taste to himself.
Apply Hanlon's razor. There was zero shrapnel and most of the force blew upwards. It definitely could've been a really poor use of judgement of storing flammable gasoline and fireworks in a confined space that then found an ignition source in the piss-poor-designed back of the CT.

Buildpacks look cool, but Dokku is perfect for single-server projects with its plugin system. It has one-command setup for Postgres and Redis, auto-backups to S3, built-in nginx reverse proxying, and an easy Let's Encrypt plugin. My current server has an uptime of 1,912 days (~5.3 years) with near 100% app availability. With reliability like that, I plan to stick with Dokku when I upgrade to a new server next month. For multi-server setups, Buildpacks with orchestration tools probably make more sense though.
Idea for killer app for recurrent models: low latency, low memory LLM / TTS coupling. Start decoding / generating speech as soon as new tokens are generated. When the LLM is cranking out token t, the TTS is already working on token t-1. It doesn’t have to wait. Then when the LLM is finished, the TTS is nearly finished too. The two models being colocated you just saved another network call as well.

Recurrent models with constant hidden state are naturally suited to streaming data, potentially opening the door to unexplored new use cases.
There’s quite a bit of competition actually. I was going to rent one on a recent trip and there were about 20 cyber trucks available as low as $100 per day.

Not too familiar with Go but this makes sense to me. The standard libraries are really great for microservice type stuff. Things that, as a python guy, I would have reached to Flask for. Problem is, I never reached to Flask for much of anything.

Shot in the dark here, drupal dev?
It’s not an accident - if academics underestimated the quality of their own work or overestimated that of the journal, this would increase acceptance rates.

Authors start at an attainable stretch goal, hope for a quick rejection if that’s the outcome, and work their way down the list. That’s why rejection is inevitable.

> the Las Vegas vehicle did not explode - at all

What killed the occupant?
Especially reading other people’s code.
The early, easily confirmed facts were that the car exploded and caught fire. Same with New Orleans, the headlines said “car struck pedestrians” rather than attributing it to a deliberate act.

I don’t know if the police themselves have actually called this a deliberate act yet. Yes, the evidence looks pretty overwhelming but it might be that media orgs don’t want to jump the gun on a highly sensitive topic.
Ryder rented both vehicles used in Oklahoma City and '93 WTC. This is a meaningless grasping at straws unless we want to forbid rental vehicles entirely because of what 1:10 million outliers might do with them. Maybe we ought to figure out what's wrong with us, people at home, and the conditions of people elsewhere in the world who are going on suicidal rampages, and then help, reform, or reset in multiple-point, holistic approach to put peoples on-track as viable, healthy civilizations without as much violence?

I did not post this earlier because what the post says and what I am going quote are not exactly same. Time on Progress-craft/ Problem Solving. But maybe at some level of abstraction, the idea is same.

Quoting from 'The Road Less Traveled' by M. Soctt Peck.[0]

Section on Problem-Solving and Time:

> At the age of thirty-seven I learned how to fix things. Prior to that time almost all my attempts to make minor plumbing repairs, mend toys or assemble boxed furniture according to the accompanying hieroglyphical instruction sheet ended in confusion, failure and frustration. Despite having managed to make it through medical school and support a family as a more or less successful executive and psychiatrist, I considered myself to be a mechanical idiot. I was convinced I was deficient in some gene, or by curse of nature lacking some mystical quality responsible for mechanical ability. Then one day at the end of my thirty-seventh year, while taking a spring Sunday walk, I happened upon a neighbor in the process of re-pairing a lawn mower. After greeting him I remarked, "Boy, I sure admire you. I've never been able to fix those kind of things or do anything like that." My neighbor, without a moment's hesitation, shot back, "That's because you don't take the time."...

> The issue is important, because many people simply do not take the time necessary to solve many of life's intellectual, social or spiritual problems, just as I did not take the time to solve mechanical problems...

> And this is precisely the way that so many of us approach other dilemmas of day-to-day living. Who among us can say that they unfailingly devote sufficient time to analyzing their children's problems or tensions within the family? Who among us is so self-disciplined that he or she never says resignedly in the face of family problems, "It's beyond me"?...

> Actually, there is a defect in the approach to problem-solving more primitive and more destructive than impatiently in-adequate attempts to find instant solutions, a defect even more ubiquitous and universal. It is the hope that problems will go away of their own accord.

>Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.

This is my go to line and nobody has challenged me on it thusfar:

If I was building a web ‘app’, consumer facing product, I’d reach for Rails. I think scaffolding up to ‘market ready’ seems easier in Rails. I say this having never really done this in production.

For internal tooling (using the admin panel), data based work, or geospatial work, stick to python
Peer review is not designed for science. Many papers are not rejected because of an issue with the science -- in fact, reviewers seldom have the time to actually check the science! As a CS-centric example: you'll almost never find a reviewer who reads a single line of code (if code is submitted with the paper at all). There is artifact review, but this is never tied to the acceptance of the paper. Reviewers focus on ideas, presentation, and the presented results. (And the current system is a good filter for this! Most accepted papers are well-written and the results always look good on paper.) However, reviewers never take the time to actually verify that the experiment code matches the ideas described in the paper, and that the results reproduce. Ask any CS/engineering PhD student how many papers (in top venues) they've seen with a critical implementation flaw that invalidates the results -- and you might begin to understand the problem.

At least in CS, the system can be fixed, but those in power are unable and unwilling to fix it. Authors don't want to be held accountable ("if we submit the code with the paper -- someone might find a critical bug and reject the paper!"), and reviewers are both unqualified (i.e. haven't written a line of code in 25 years) and unwilling to take on more responsibility ("I don't have the time to make sure their experiment code is fair!"). So we are left with an obviously broken system where junior PhD students review artifacts for "reproducibility" and this evaluation has no bearing whatsoever on whether a paper gets accepted. It's too easy to cook up positive results in almost any field (intentionally, or unintentionally), and we have a system with little accountability.

It's not "the best we have", it's "the best those in power will allow". Those in power do not want consequences for publishing bad research, and also don't want the reviewing load required to keep bad research out.
I've found that training yourself to enjoy the feeling of hunger (intermittent fasting) is a boon to weight loss. Another tip: fully chew your food, and eat slowly. Don't try to satiate yourself at every meal. It takes a lot of effort at first, but it's very effective. You start to respect food (and your own body's processes) much more.

One of the weirder types of comparisons is comparing “the number of combinations” (Eg …in a lottery game) to the quantity of a thing (e.g. grains of sand on the beach)

Although: Comparing that type of comparison to the general case of comparing quantities of different countable objects (“trees on earth versus stars in our galaxy”) is itself a different type of comparison that is even weirder. Maybe?

That's a very odd adjective choice to apply to the Georgian one.

The other 3 are usually cited as Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Chernenko, but the former two were of Russian ancestry.

That leaves us with Stalin and Chernenko in our multicultural icon set. The latter having of course served but a year, mostly as a walking corpse.
