Can we not use "realtime" for what is just really "interactive" features? Or even just "duplex" ?

"realtime" has a long history in the computing and technology realms, and this ain't it.
A couple things immediately come to mind

1) complexity analysis ignores coefficients which can make a huge difference, especially since computers usually have bounds

2) real life may influence the likelihood of best/worst case. I think data tends to be somewhat sorted in practice so algorithms with best case on sorted data perform better
I thought he was doing something like that already.
We're talking about mindshare, not commercial incentives. There are plenty of things sold to small groups of buyers with no significant mindshare. Mindshare does not equal commercial viability or sales numbers.

As for who would pay for a Rust compiler: probably not a whole lot of people unless that compiler has something special the offer that the normal compiler does not.

The same goes for a C compiler, there are Intel compilers that are supposed to be 'better', but as it turns out, in most cases not 'better' enough for people to pay for them. But even then, I would not be surprised if more people pay for the ICC than for Ada (but I would also not be surprised if the Ada compiler sales rack up more money than the ICC sales).
Interesting! I'd love a citation on this...
This is a pretty interesting approach to replacing your own executable, though it's really akin to a spicy spawn where you (the parent) exec rather than they (the child) exec. Not to minimize the coolness of this approach -- it's certainly a good way to do it, and doubly so on older Unix.

These days you could probably spawn your child process, test-boot it and then mmap bits of it back into your process and then unmap your old code pages once you're certain it boots. Or given how cheap cycles are, test-boot it and then throw that away and spawn the new executable if you're happy with the results.

> In R1 they saw it was mixing languages and fixed it with cold start data.

They did (partly) fix R1's tendency to mix languages, thereby making its CoT more interpretable. But that fix came at the cost of degrading the quality of the final answer.[0] Since we can't reliably do interpretability on latents anyway, presumably the only metric that matters in that case is answer quality - and so observing thinking tokens gets you no marginal capability benefit. (It does however give you a potential safety benefit - as Anthropic vividly illustrated in their "alignment faking" paper. [1])

The bitter lesson strikes yet again: if you ask for X to get to Y, your results are worse than if you'd just asked for Y directly in the first place.

[0] From the R1 paper: "To mitigate the issue of language mixing, we introduce a language consistency reward during RL training, which is calculated as the proportion of target language words in the CoT. Although ablation experiments show that such alignment results in a slight degradation in the model’s performance, this reward aligns with human preferences, making it more readable.“ [emphasis added]

You can read skills issue as an insult or call it gatekeeping. I meant it literally: not learning common and fundamental skills of the craft of programming. Worse, dismissing tools as arcane or poorly-designed rather than learning how to use them. And blaming laziness or poor memory on the tools.

People actually frequently fail to self-critique their skills, leading to what we call the Dunning-Kruger Effect, the Expert Beginner, the 21-year-old "senior engineer." Listening to and learning from someone who has mastered a skill -- a mentor -- describes one of the best ways to learn something. Interpreting criticism as a personal insult, then blaming inanimate things like Unix CLI tools, doesn't seem productive or professional.

Calling command line tools poorly-designed, arcane, cryptic, etc. blames the tool, and perhaps by extension the author. I have managed to remember 0=stdin, 1=stdout, 2=stderr for decades, and I expect anyone who wants to get into programming can remember three file descriptors. If they can't remember those things, or look them up when necessary, and then blame the operating system or tool, what would you call that if not a skills issue?

As for the survey results that started this thread, I interpret them in the context of my own (40+ years) experience programming. Some people master the Unix CLI well enough to get things done with it. They appreciate the original intent of composability, "everything a file," plain text as the common format. Many other people have learned to type a few commands they don't understand, or copy and paste one-liners found online. Those people "use" the command line in the same sense that I "use" TurboTax -- infrequently and without motivation to master it. I have and continue to work with programmers who have a terminal window open all the time in their IDE, but can't actually do much with it. Then they get on threads like this to complain that command line flags "lack discoverability," as if the man tool didn't exist.

You can criticize what you perceive as my attitude. I have mentored and taught enough programmers how to improve their command line skills over the years to feel OK with myself when I tell complainers to stop blaming the tools. I got lucky early on and had mentors who taught me this stuff, the concepts and design behind Unix and its tools, and got me through my skills issues. Now when I run into something I don't understand I interpret it as my own skills issue, not as a sign that another programmer didn't know how to predict the future or didn't care about correct "design," as if that described anything real.
I don't think we can infer the motives of most artists from your personal motives.
> I don't think the constant news cycles covering each and every dime that USAID misused is indicative of a lack of transparency.

Every dime that the USAID spent was allocated via Congress through the budgeting process.

And many (11/12) of the published stories about supposed wasteful spending were not true:

* https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/07/usaid-tru...

More importantly, even if sending money to USAid is wasteful, that is Congress's prerogative. The President's job is to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed": if Congress wants to spend money on Foo then that's what he is supposed to do.
Yes, I am discussing a different problem, and I don't think the original problem formulation gives enough information to distinguish between the 2 problems.

The answer can add assumptions, which is fine. I'm not passing judgement on Marilyn vos Savant. I do object to claims that the problem statement is sufficient to have a single answer, and based on that, I'd object to claims that somebody in that situation would be wrong not to switch doors. I would object on exactly the same grounds to anyone who tells you "you're wrong, there's a 50% chance of getting a car" (I might object further, on the grounds that the most obvious interpretation which gives that answer is inconsistent with this form of the problem statement).
It gets a bit silly when you start using archaeology to prop up modern political doctrines. Humans left Africa over 100k years ago, and groups have been moving around ever since. Whether a group moved from the Caucasus to South Asia or vice versa, around 5k years ago, shouldn't really matter. Perhaps they had moved in the opposite direction 10k years ago. Obviously, we all have human ancestors who were living 5k, 10k, 100k, 200k years ago.

They arent meaningless, Tesla did some pretty cool shit. And then they shipped a very small quantity of cars that have poor maintenance and the kind of vendor lockin that we get shitty at John Deere for.

The issue isnt that Tesla did stuff. Its that its all historical stuff that doesnt justify its current market price.

If I was to invest in a car company I would want them shipping millions of cars, not a "net positive for humanity" and a couple hundred thousand janky cars.

I think these types of articles should be prefaced with numbers, namely: how many downloads did the package have? How many confirmed installs were there? And so forth.

Given that language package managers are intentionally open to the public, "someone uploaded malware to NPM" is not itself an interesting story. What would be interesting is whether a particular typosquatting campaign was effective, given that most appear to be caught before download counts leave "background noise" levels.

Or as another framing: malware on an unrestricted index does not matter if nobody actually downloads it. What matters (and is interesting) is when the attacker manages to get nontrivial numbers of downloads to their package.
Very interesting. I wonder why there's an apparent discrepancy between UK and US life expectancy. The UK has more stop and go traffic, I'd have thought that'd be harder on vehicles.

Have you been raised in the US? Did you go to any educational institution or maybe you were raised in a much more isolated environment? The celebration of BHM was in practically every school I've been in, as a public school student. It makes total sense for BHM to be in a general US calendar even if not everyone celebrates it as a holiday. Jewish holidays and Ramadan also fell under this category in my experience.

I've been invited to be a founding engineer a few times now, and crypto backed things are an instant no.

How would this hold up in court? Let's say things go south and the founders drop everything and take what funds there are with them. Can I go to court and say "Hey, I have a crypto token for...". Before I even finish the sentence, I'd get laughed out of the room.

There's more ways it can go wrong than it can go right, and that's saying something when it comes to startups to begin with.

Either its a fixed percentage, on paper, with clear, legally defined terms, or it's effectively worthless.

> So you'd rather that the taxes everyone pays, including the poor, goes to pay the costs of doing the background checks on the business travelers and other upper-class people who fly frequently? There is a cost to administer the program,

The cost to do security checks on people scales with the number of people. There are plenty of taxes and fees already included with plane tickets; whatever "security fee" is actually necessary to fund reasonable security can be tacked onto the cost of tickets that way, and will automatically charge more from people flying more often (and won't penalize people who don't fly at all).

The only possible economic benefits separating it out into an optional multi-year subscription service provides for any party are 1) overcharging people who misgauge actually "needing" it when they don't end up flying enough to meet whatever your threshold for judging that is, and 2) actually not fully charging super-frequent fliers for the amount of workload they put on the system.

This an obvious bending of the knee towards the Trump administration since they're on a revenge tour and don't really care about breaking laws.

>EVs were already a common sight in France way before Tesla.

I can't say I'm an expert on French automotive sales. It is possible they have always had a small market for EVs going back years, but there clearly was an inflection point that occurred after Tesla had proved there was widespread demand for EVs with 2020 being the first year that EVs made up more than 2% of new car sales in France.[1]

I am pretty disturbed by how musk is silent on issues concerning China and the CCP. To me it is a big risk that Tesla depends on access to the Chinese market to justify their valuation. Musk clearly will not say anything even slightly negative about the CCP, even though he personally values free speech and other liberal values. So can he really be trusted with control of companies like SpaceX?

In fact, I am worried about whether that influence from China extends further. How else do you explain Trump delaying enforcement of the TikTok ban? If anything he should be going a lot harder against China.
I have a ‘21 Miata with the same gripes. The CarPlay situation got slightly better with an OS upgrade last year – now it only crashes about 10% of the time, and 75% of those recover on their own without needing a power-cycle.

The lack of adaptive cruise is baffling. We test drove a ‘15 CX-something-or-other in 2014 and it had the ability to brake automatically (dealer was very interested in demoing this feature). I assume it also had adaptive cruise, so it’s wild that a 6 years newer sports car wouldn’t have that feature.
Except there’s a line of cases basically saying you can’t do something unlawful and then quickly stop in order to make the legal controversy go away.

Google is exactly the evil company that it founders set out to be against. It's a monopoly that crushes little people with no recourse (talk to anyone who has ever advertised on Google and ask what they think of their customer support). Their product people have gotten into the habit of shoving their political views down the public's throat via their widely used products because they know they can get away with it. I am eagerly waiting for the day that someone can displace them and end their callous behavior towards the general public.

I'm not sure this really says anything novel. As a longtime user of Duolingo, I feel like my experience of the app is "move fast and break things" -- constantly adding new features and removing old ones, without regard for how it affects existing users. It's interesting that they talk about how they care about user retention over new user acquisition, since that's not my experience. Many features that I found useful have been removed (e.g. word reference lists, forum discussion), and new features added/changed that I don't care for (e.g. many types of review-ish lessons with unclear differences, semi-invisible adjustments to thresholds necessary to reach certain goals).

My assumption is that long-term user retention is a metric that's difficult to measure and optimize for, and so even if they claim to care, it ends up getting worse over time. If your experiment grows DAU by 1% but makes 0.1% of users leave over the next month, most of that 0.1% isn't even noticed in the week that the experiment is running, and a 0.02% drop in user retention isn't statistically significant. But then you ship 1 of those experiments per week for 5 years, and even though you grew your userbase 12x you end up with 25% worse long-term user retention than you would have otherwise. And then you don't even realize that because it's such a different product compared to 5 years ago that you brush off any changes over that timescale as "our new demographics are inherently less likely to stay and there's nothing we can do" or "society is changing how it interacts with phones and there's nothing we can do." Or maybe I'm being too generous and the reality is "there's definitely something we could do but we're too busy rolling in our fat stacks of cash to care"
