So we're back to promoting slavery then? Because that is a thing that happens if we just allow the strong to do whatever they want. It seems to me that this kind of cynical "realistic" pessimism is part of what fuels totalitarianism. Russia has succeeded in falling back into this because their citizens believes that might makes right.

But might isn't one thing. Might arises from complex underlying relationships between people and it arises from what people believe in. Might makes right yes. But what people believe is right also makes might. When people stop believing that it's impossible to stand up to totalitarianism - that's when it wins.

How is conquest of Ukraine diametrically opposed to the interests of USA?

> They are the adversary of USA because they directly seek to oppose USA and the rules based world order it leads

How so?

> I know that if China invaded Florida, I would be very comfortable with UK sending USA weapons for as long as USA wants to try to fight the foreign invaders.

USA is more powerful than China in military - not to mention UK is an ally of USA. And sure, it's up to the invaded country, but at a certain point countries don't want to keep sending money into a blackhole.

> Are you being serious? I’m sorry if you are, I just find it hard to imagine someone who is generally aware of the world could think this, especially since they are known Russian propagandists talking points

It's so easy to call something a Russian propagandist talking point or Russian bot instead of actually addressing points. Let's have a discussion without resorting to calling the other side propagandists.

> To be clear: America is absolutely not suffering economically as a result of supporting Ukrainian resistance to Russian invasion.

I can't comment on America because I don't live there, but European countries have suffered hard. Especially by not buying gas from Russia. Our industrial economy takes a massive hit due to increase in power. A lot of residential houses pay a lot more for gas/heating/electricity - and those are European, already a lot poorer than the Americans.

I'm sharing these use cases about reverse engineering specifications that I've heard directly from clients, but I deeply relate to them myself. Back when I was on the business side, I'd often ask engineers for documentation only to hear "the code is the documentation." That moment created a real disconnect—I felt completely shut out from understanding the products I was responsible for.

This solution isn't just about solving a technical problem—it's about bridging worlds that too often remain separate.

The issue was in budget to do that. Economics was ruined with the collapse of USSR.
Thorough investigations of businesses and high net worth individuals is what the manpower is needed for. If they stop doing those investigations and they put in incredibly strict automation to enforce the compliance of the average W2 filer, the IRS would definitely be able to carry on with a fraction of its current workforce.

Turning English into logic basically requires understanding the language and context.

I’d you are told “we will go to the zoo or swimming pool tomorrow, if it is windy or rainy”, most readers would know the first or is exclusive (we aren’t going to both), while the second is inclusive (we will go if it is windy, rainy, or both).

This is annoying when teaching logic, from experience.
I've sold to quick payers and to slow payers. Once word gets out that a company is a slow payer, small providers will try to tighten up payment terms if they can, follow up aggressively where they can't, or stop doing business with them altogether.

Big businesses have formal and informal credit scores.

Some problems just don't have an elegant / worthwhile solution. These problems are best handled in a decentralized way by each actor mitigating as best they can, not by centralizing power even further with a massive bureaucratic overreach into private business dealings and creating a bigger problem.

You can't just create a big bad Department To Solve Problem X every time something happens that offends your sensibilities.

Of course there are some regulations that are cheap and obviously worth it; I don't see how that's relevant.
That's a huge relief, then. Apparently we'll be able to go more than a hundred more versions before we have to worry about that sort of misalignment.

But you already do. Unless you're working for a tiny startup, your CEO or the Board probably doesn't understand the specifics of your code.

You can't run a large company by making every person super-involved in every detail. You have layers of abstraction that make it possible to reason about an org of hundreds or thousands of employees. The Board trusts the CTO to oversee technology. Your CTO trusts your director / VP / whatever to run a large chunk of it. That person delegates a smaller part of running the company to your boss.

The whole point of each layer is to abstract away some of the underlying messiness. They exercise professional judgment for day-to-day operations and provide a clean interface that provides health signals, requests resources as needed, etc. And I think what many folks miss is that it doesn't stop with their boss. It stops with you! Your boss generally trusts you to make design and implementation decisions and is expecting you to provide a reasonable interface to that. If your boss has a reasonably-sized team but is spending their day writing code, then honestly, why are they in a management position to begin with?

Repairability is not necessarily a factor here. A better toaster may need less repair over its lifetime, and thus be more cost effective over its lifetime than a cheaper toaster that will break sooner and probably make worse toast while it works.

You have done that for quite literally the past 20 years in a places where no win condition could be established, and now that you have an 'easy' war, with an actual nation-state adversary that you can defeat both militarily and politically, without a need for guerilla warfare and millions of civilian casualties, suddenly you have issues?

I was thinking about this the other day. To me, the future is decreasing the amount of coordination that happens verbally over VHF.

Ignoring takeoff clearances for a moment, my limited understanding is that most traffic in and out of an airport follows a prescribed pattern: You take off, turn to some particular bearing, climb to some particular altitude, contact center on some particular frequency... etc. Listening to VASAviation, it seems like this accounts for > 80% of pilot-controller communication.

It's strange to me that, given the amount of automation in a modern airliner, these instructions aren't transmitted digitally directly to the autopilot. Instead of the controller verbally telling the pilot where to go, it seems feasible that the controller (or some coordinating software) could just digitally tell the plane where to go.

I feel like that's how you dramatically decrease workload on both ends, and then maybe there's more bandwidth to focus on those takeoff clearances (and eventually automate those as well?).

So many other aspects of flight safety have been handed over to the computer to solve, it's curious to me why a critical function like air traffic control still happens verbally over VHF.

In some cases, like some small business owners, people living in some states with higher than average taxes, people paid more in taxes during his first term, due to his tax plan limiting deductions. Additionally, the next administration froze tax increases for people making under $400k. Harris campaigned on this as well.

Again, I don't think people are stupid. I do think they'll say one some things in mixed company to hide their racism.

> The individual operations in the repository (e.g., dot product) look like they could be autovectorized. I'm assuming they aren't because of the use of a slice. I'm mildly curious if it could be massaged into something autovectorized.

> Most of my observations re: autovectorization in go have been on fixed sized vectors and matrices where SSE2 instructions are pretty readily available and loop unrolling is pretty simple.

Go does not have any form of autovectorization. The only way to access SIMD instructions in Go is through functions written in Goasm. Moreover, Go does not ship SIMD primitives in its math library which would not necessitate auto-vectorization by implementing inlineable functions with SIMD instructions instead.

> I'm curious if you could speak more to this? Is the concern that operations may get reordered?

Autovectorization brittleness is a large topic. Analysis is expensive, vectorization may be impossible due to violating program order or observable side effects. In addition to that it often needs multiple expensive optimization phases coupled with complex compiler IR and back-ends to efficiently target multiple platforms which does not fit well with Go's compiler design (at least such is my amateur impression from looking at its source code).

Go's compiler should not be treated as if it's in the same class with GCC or LLVM because it is anything but, it is a grade below .NET's RyuJIT/ILC and OpenJDK's HotSpot, with design decisions and practices that make Go a somewhat easier optimization target than .NET CIL which allows it to maintain relative parity at general-purpose code light on abstractions (if it is heavy on those, Go starts to fall behind).

I think this is ultimately true, in a sense, but the challenge is correctly handling all of the edge-cases. It's a challenging problem tantamount to the self-driving car problem.

It happens by humans over VHF because a lot of unpredictable things happen in busy airspace, and it would require a massive investment for machines to automate all of it.

I'm also not sure that people would accept the safety risk of airplanes' autopilots being given automated instructions by ATC over the air. There's a large potential vulnerability and safety risk there. I think there's some potential for automation to replace the role of ATC currently, but I suspect it would still be by transmitting instructions to human pilots, not directly to the autopilot.

Lastly, for such a system to ever be bootstrapped, it would still need to handle all of the planes that didn't have this automation yet; it would still need to support communicating with pilots verbally over VHF. An entirely AI ATC system, that autonomously listens to and responds by voice over VHF seems like a plausible first step though.

Russia controls large portions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson Oblasts. I imagine walking away with those areas would be a huge victory for them.

How long can Ukraine drag this out? They are suffering manpower issues more than Russia. I don't think it's likely that Russia will lose its patience before Ukraine. I wish, but I don't see it. Their economy is somewhat dependent on their military-industrial complex.

Is this the goal? To slowly lose land and lives to Russia, in hopes that they get bored, or that Ukrainians magically get a wonder weapon?
I mean, it depends on what you mean by "rebellious". There is a lot more nuance than that. From the Kuomingtang's perspective, the CCP are the rebels.

One piece of history is that after Sun Yat-Sen died, his successor Chang Kai Shek purged the Kuomingtang of any socialist, community, and otherwise left-leaning members of their assembly. When some members escaped the purge, this sowed the seeds of the CCP that came to fruit after fighting off the Japanese during WWII.

When the Kuomingtang retreated to Taiwan, it was not run as a republic or a democratic society. Martial law ended in 1987 and a second political party did not appear until it was illegally formed in 1986. The Kuomingtang and its coalition continues to identify with China -- the civilization -- whereas the DDP-lead coalition is done with that and wants their own national identity of Taiwain.
