> Turns out, that's the case most of the time.

Here's most of the time out in the real world:

- Low-cardinality partition key leading to hot keys, trashing capacity utilization.

- Bad key design means access patterns are off the table forever, as nobody wants to take on data migration with BatchWriteItem.

- Read/write spikes causing throttling errors. The capacity concept is difficult - people don't understand how capacity relates to partitions and object sizes, or wrongly assume "On-Demand Capacity" means throttling is impossible, or that Provisioned Capacity Autoscaling is instant.

- Multiple GSIs to cover multiple access patterns = "why is our bill so high?".

I've seen these issues over and over again while working with real organizations.

Of course it's impressive technology, it's just so littered with traps that I've stopped recommending it except in very specific cases.
Diesels have lot's of torque even at low RPM. My diesel can start moving from stopped at small inclines even at idle, no accelerator input. Not great to do, but it can.

Meanwhile some gas cars will stall without accelerator input at straight road.
I thought tools like jupyter and rmarkdown are better described as narratives[0] (lab notebooks and report generators) separate from and almost antagonistic to literate programming[1]. At least as I've been exposed to them, notebooks don't easily facilitate code reuse -- libraries aren't written in notebooks but could be written with literate programming tools.

The real problem with LLMs is that you can't get a probability estimate out of "Is {sentence_a} a plausible answer to {sentence_b}?"

I discuss this in the post:

> This seems like a lot of data the client is getting anyway. I don’t blame you for questioning if the server is actually needed. The thing is, the stored vectors that are compared against are by far the biggest storage user. Each vector can easily be multiple kilobytes. The paper discusses a database of 35 million entries divided across 8500 clusters.
Why would that matter either?
No, by then it's at least conceivable that cold fusion will by then be a
reality. If an individual cracks this problem maybe they'll offer a paper ending with a comment akin to Watson & Cricks 1953 paper on DNA. "It has not escaped our attention that ..." Or words to that effect.

I could buy that to some degree, but not to the current insane level of price disparity.

PCB production should be one of those things that is or can be mostly automated if it isn't already. Assembly is definitely already a mostly automated process. This is all existing tech. Thus the cost differential doesn't seem justifiable.

I have to think that this is very much "build it and they will come" territory if you can get within 1.5x to 3x the price, so it continues to boggle my mind that nobody has managed to make it happen.

The only blocker I can truly identify is the magnitude of the initial investment. That doesn't explain why the prices at domestic board houses seem to have remained pretty much exactly the same for the last couple of decades, though.

As far as I can tell, they just don't want the business.
Then be prepared to be surprised? I don't know why its better but it actually is night and day different. The best uneducated way I can describe it is YouTube sticks you into a model that only classifies people in large groups. Oh you watch video game streamers, you may like this alt-right talking heads. TikTok has a model that is tailored just for you. Oh you like video game streamers that play Tarkov? Here are some videos of other games similar to Tarkov.

My IOCCC entry [1] explains exactly what the 43-byte program is. It's a self-interpreter for BLC8, the byte based version of Binary Lambda Calculus.

The 521 byte interpreter on the other hand is written in x86 assembly, a language much less suitable for writing BLC8 interpreters than BLC8 itself.

Btw, with my latest lambda compiler, the BLC8 self interpreter is only 42 bytes:

λ 1 ((λ 1 1) (λ (λ λ λ 1 (λ λ λ 2 (λ λ λ (λ 7 (10 (λ 5 (2 (λ λ 3 (λ 1 2 3)))
(11 (λ 3 (λ 3 1 (2 1))))) 3) (4 (1 (λ 1 5) 3) (10 (λ 2 (λ 2 (1 6))) 6))) 8)
(λ 1 (λ 8 7 (λ 1 6 2)))) (λ 1 (4 3))) (1 1)) (λ λ 2 ((λ 1 1) (λ 1 1))))

Agreed. It's wild to me how many people think they need arbitrary queries on their transactional database and then go write a CRUD app with no transactional consistency between resources and everything is a projection from a user or org resource -- you can easily model that with Dynamo. You can offload arbitrary analytical queries or searches to a different database and stop conflating that need with your app's core data source.
Exactly, and additionally, it's not just about putting them into extracurriculars. You have to let them go outside and make friends without adult organization because that's what it's going to be like once they grow up and don't have your (or some organization's) help on every step. If you don't let them do this, you're hindering their ability to learn to make friends on their own. Which in turn is where the peer pressure eventually kicks in, because, "hey, all those kids outside..."
I'm speaking out of my depth, but as I understand you'd need the extra information that was accumulated along the way (as shown in the XOR gate example) If you had that you certainly could run sha 256 in reverse but for the starting hash + info, you have at least as many bits as the starting information that was hashed.

This is something that infuriates me about youtube, to the extent that I wonder if it's deliberate. Those guys feel like the propaganda the platform wants to sell me, whereas on the Chinese platforms there isn't the sense of HERE IS THE TWO MINUTE HATE PROPAGANDA VIDEO CITIZEN you sometimes get on other platforms.

Young-earth creationist, as in "God created everything from scratch in 7 days".

There are many scientists out there that believe in that. They are not scientifically ignorant, they just believe different stuff from you, which, mind you, unless you've seen all proof and understand everything about it to the very last detail, you just hold a faith-based belief of what you're told about by a specific bunch of people/books.

People forget that we often know a lot about stuff, but then we discover more stuff which totally changes the stuff we knew and so on.

Not intending to start a flamewar here or anything, but the fact is that even if there's a lot of evidence for many claims about it, the THEORY of Evolution is not failsafe let alone definitely proven.

You can choose to go with it until we have something better, that's your choice.

Allow that same choice for the rest of the people out there.
As someone that uses both, YouTube shorts it's _not_ superior. Two very simple reasons:

Ah, got it now, and it's an excellent point. Mostly thinking the idea of cameras(+intelligence)-only may be best in the end just from perspective of smallest effective resources and assuming biomimicry is best.

To your point, there are MANY situations where that will never be true, where the extra 3D info will absolutely make a difference.

Going back to the wheel/leg and fixed/flapping wing analogues; legs and flapping wings will likely always be superior for rough terrain and tight spaces. However, legged vehicles will never be as fast as wheels can go on smoother roads, and similarly, flapping wings will never be superior to fixed-wings+power for long haul or heavy air transport.

So, you're right — it's Horses For Courses — different solutions will work best in different situations.
I'm super opposed to AI, but I see this as a rare positive. As someone already said, the win here is to have a audiobook where one doesn't yet exist. hell, maybe the tables will turn and the scrubs will do the hard work of discovering which titles are popular with an audience, then the ebook industry can capitalize on AI by hiring voice actors to produce proper titles?

While you are legally allowed to refuse search of your vehicle, in practice people get brutalized for standing up for their rights all the time. The exact boundaries of your legal rights are also not clear to most people (even many lawyers) so you risk refusing an actually legal order and ending up in even more trouble.

Plus, a cop can just call for a canine squad and then get the canine to signal and then use that as probable cause for a search if they really want to fuck your day up in a way that is totally legal.

This makes the idea that you should just confidently advocate for your 4th amendment rights actually pretty unappealing.
if you want to get started writing super quick, you can also take a look at some of the super minimalist platforms that are basically as you describe - like https://bearblog.dev/ and https://mataroa.blog/.

I've stumbled on both from submissions to HN and they have become my recommendations for friends that want to write, especially the couple who are prone to jumping down technical rabbit holes & not ever getting to the writing.
"Fetish" is the wrong way to look at it, but it does seem connected. The explanation I've seen is basically a unified "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, so instead I'm going to give my data to China even harder". It's a generation of kids who grew up (mostly correctly) assuming all of their data was already all controlled by corporations in league with the government. Worrying about data privacy is too quaint to even consider.

There's of course a chance of algorithmic meddling, nudging people to a different Chinese app, but I think spite is a far simpler answer.

I grew up overseas. My K-12 was a hodgepodge of schools and tutors all over the world.

I am also "on the spectrum," which means that I'm a bully magnet (much better, these days, but it lasted far beyond grade school).

Had a number of other issues, that came to a head, when I was 18.

Dropped out of school, basically, in 11th grade, and got my GED, a bit before I would have graduated, if I had stayed.

Most of my education after that, was a redneck tech school, OJT, home experimenting, and a whole bunch of seminars and focused tech classes. Couple of math classes in college.

I did OK, but a hell of a lot of others, with similar backgrounds, did not.

I am ambivalent about homeschooling. I think it may do well, for some people, and not, for others. I know that there's a "Little Nazi" homeschooling program that's popular with the bedsheets-as-a-uniform crowd, but it might be possible to get a far better education, at home, than the best prep school could give you.

Not being supported by the adults who pretend to be trustworthy is nearly as damaging as the bullying itself. Like you, I would be punished alongside the perpetrator even if I didn't throw a single punch or insult. This is extremely toxic because it completely breaks trust and causes children to lose faith in the system they're in, and they shut down. I know I did. I stopped telling anyone my problems because experience told me saying anything only lead to more shame.
To me it's more like a guy getting his first car and complaining that the car is driving him in a direction that may or may not be correct, despite his best efforts to steer it where he wants to go. And the only way to know whether he ends up in the right place is to get out of the car, look around, and maybe ask more experienced drivers. Failing that, his only option is to get back in and hope to be luckier in the next trip.

Or he can just ditch the car and walk. Sure, it's slower and requires more effort, but he knows exactly how to do that and where it will take him.

3. The government is concerned that having a company that's beholden to a foreign government control the algorithm that feeds the rising generation much of their worldview may not be a good long term plan.

This has a passing resemblance to (2), but the key difference is that the government doesn't believe they have control over the narrative on Facebook, they just know that a foreign government doesn't. It's strictly better from the perspective of the US government to have the rising generation's worldview shaped by raw capitalism (after all, that's how all of the older generations' world views were shaped) than to risk the possibility that an adversary is tipping the scales.

What I don't understand is why the politicians insist on talking about spying as the concern. The people who are pro-TikTok are pretty clearly skeptical either way, and "think of the children" is usually the most effective political tool they have.
Administrators are constantly castigated for disciplinary actions, as the "throwing chairs" behavior is not evenly spread among the different cultures that students come from.

Different rates of suspensions leads to accusations of racism, and said accusations lead to Hail Mary attempts to make unequal rates equal, including forbidding any meaningful type of punishment for certain varieties of students.

If this sounds far fetched, public officials in Rotherham became objectively evil in their attempts to avoid racism accusations, "1400 children betrayed" is a extremely understated headline, if you want to learn more.
Pure economics and rational decision making are the exact reasons for engaging in regulatory capture, bribery, and oligarchy.

Why on earth would democracy (or any other form of shared power) be a rational choice for you, from an economic standpoint, if you already are wealthy enough to neuter it to the point where nearly all profits and decision-making authority are allocated to you?

Dictatorship is the ultimate in rational decision-making for a rational self-interested actor. Philanthropy and benevolence are not rational for the wealthy and powerful.

Income inequality and regulatory capture are features of the free market, not bugs. They are baked in by design.

Most countries in the world "patch" those bugs by regulation that moves them away from being pure "free market" economies. Antitrust regulation is a well-known example of this.
Most 'time loops' in science fiction might better be described as time knots.

I think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predestination_(film) which is much more complicated than the usual time travel scenario; presumably the protagonist leaves but doesn't really enter since the protagonist is their own mother and father (the matter that makes them up does enter since they eat and breathe the way everybody else does; thinking the story through I'd think if I was going to have such a miraculous and singular existence I'd rather be a fantastic creature of some kind [dragon?] as opposed to a relatively boring intersex person capable of both reproductive roles)

Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_Eternity which tames the complexity of time travel by presupposing 'eternity' has a second time dimension, making large-scale engineering of history practical. 'Eternity' itself owes it's existence to a time loop which is ultimately broken by the protagonist.
It's possible, but ultimately it's hard to tell, especially in regard to the American users.

The results of the election would point to the idea that most American voters aren't so perturbed by what's happening in Gaza as to want an administration that would be at least as effective in reeling in the Israelis as the Biden administration was. Whether that's right or wrong, well, that's another discussion.

It's a chicken-or-the-egg problem. Do people not talk about Gaza on Facebook because it's censored, or do people not talk about Gaza on Facebook because no one was talking about it to begin with?

Civil asset forfeiture isn't different in its principles. It's civil meaning there is no right to an attorney, the burden of proof is lower, etc. Essentially, this is an ex parte action against the asset forcing the owner to prove ownership in order to get legal standing to challenge in the court. It's a terrible system, but it utilizes the same principles found in other Civil laws. These lack of protections is why people push back on things like red flag laws and why legislatures are increasingly looking to use these to bypass things in the criminal side (see TX trying to allow actions against abortion seekers, or CA saying they'll do the same to gun owners).
