> The state that one-sidedly 'threw away' the baggage of communism was the USSR, and we all know how that went.

That's not actually what happened, you should look up some history.

The USSR didn't throw away, communism, the member states just simply left.

And many of those states were then free of the communist party actually did quite well. Russia didn't, Ukraine didn't, but that's the reality when a country splits apart, some parts do well others don't.

> Any China scholar could tell you that China was already implementing market reforms before Deng

Part of it wasn't even voluntary on the party front, they simply accepted what was already happening instead of reversing it again.

> China is still a country operated on the basis of five-year plans.

hose plans are mostly projects of what they hope they can encourage private business to do and some public investment. Guess what many countries do, planning and public investment.

Lots of things they plan don't happen, lots of things that happen aren't planned. The planning is constantly adjust to what actually happens in the economy, including the global context.

> China is still a country where the state owns all land.

Legally maybe, but if you hand out control for 100 years the relevance of that isn't all that great. And that land can be freely traded between people. So in practical terms it works far more like private land ownership then anything the socialist thinkers of the late 19 and early 20th century.

> China is still a country where capital is not allowed to usurp the public interest.

That is just factually false, large companies in China regularly do things that hurt public interest. Unless you mean 'interest of the party leadership' and even then its only mostly true.

> In this, the reforms of Deng and the continued path of Xi are simply the highest synthesis of communism

Lol, they literally copied other East Asian economic models almost 1 to 1. They are just a log bigger and have more people. But I guess copying other successful clearly capitalist countries can be resold as 'highest synthesis of communism' to people who have irrational hate for capitalism.

And China economic growth or wealth isn't all that magically, its simply that China is much bigger then most others who have done it.

> They are the most faithful to Marxism, which has never preached any kind of static dogma, especially as it relates to economic policy.

I love Marxism, since he didn't actually define any outcome beyond maybe 'stateless and moneyless' you can just make up whatever the fuck you want as long as you are claiming to 'get there'. And China doesn't seem to go into a stateless moneyless direction.

Marx's "Historical materialism" is wrong for Western Europe and laudably false for China.

His critic of capitalism seems to be mostly ignored in China. As is his theory of class struggle as in China there is an ever growing Bourgeoisie.

But I guess copying what Taiwan and friends did and calling it 'Marxism' is one way to go.

It's interesting that your experience is different, but in my region and social circles, I haven't seen anyone wear a watch in ten years or more, other than the occasional smart watch. That habit doesn't seem to last long, either. For people I know, watches have turned into fashion accessories for millionaires.
As an intuition on why many people see this as different.

PAC Learning is about compression, KF/EKF is more like Taylor expansion.

The specific types of PAC Learning that this paper covers has problems with a simplicity bias, and fairly low sensitivity.

While based on UHATs, this paper may provide some insights.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.02393

Obviously LLM and LRMs are the most studied, but even the recent posts on here from anthropic show that without a few high probability entries in the k-top results, confabulations are difficult for transformers.

Obviously there are PAC Learning methods that target anomaly detection, but they are very different than even EKF + Mc

You will note in this paper that even highly weighted features exhibited low sensitivity.

While the industry may find some pathological cases that make the approach usable, autograd and the need for parallelism make the application of this papers methods to tiny variations to multivariate problem ambitious.

They also only trained on medical data. Part of the reason the foundation models do so well is that they encode verifiers from a huge corpus that invalidates the traditional bias variance tradeoffs from the early 90's papers.

But they are still selecting from the needles and don't have access to the hay in the haystack.

The following paper is really not related except it shows how compression exacerbates that problem.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.06977

Chaitin's constant encoding the Halting problem, and that it is normal and uncomputable is the extreme top end of computability, but relates to the compression idea.

EKFs have access to the computable reals, and while non-linear, KF and EKFs can be thought of linearization of the approximations as a lens.

If the diagnostic indicators were both ergodic and Markovian, this paper's approach would probably be fairly reliable.

But these efforts are really about finding a many to one reduction that works.

I am skeptical about it in this case for PAC ML, but perhaps they will find a pathological case.

But the tradeoffs between statistical learning and expansive methods are quite different.

Obviously hype cycles drive efforts, I encourage you to look at this years AAAI conference report and see that you are not alone with the frustration on the single minded approach.

IMHO this paper is a net positive, showing that we are moving from a broad exploration to targeted applications.

But that is just my opinion.
Yeah, the messaging isn't very clear.
That‘s my experience as well.

The generated html docs can also be hard to read / understand. Zig 0.14.0 changed something about LazyPath (I think that‘s how it‘s called) and I had a hard time figuring out how to migrate.
Is it weird that if I do not have an account on X, I also have no idea what X actually is? If I go to the home page, it just says "Happening now". No idea what that means though. If I then navigate to the tiny "About" link, I'm not getting any smarter. The "About the company" page takes to a 404. So, unless you know already what X is, you have no obvious way to find out what it is either.
How likely it is for a big generalist model to make this obsolete? I'm sure it has enough capacity to filter out the noise on its own, if trained on a good dataset, moreover it's pretty well suited for that.
The overwhelming majority of web apps are not Google docs.

The advantages offered by heavy frontend frameworks have to shrink over time as browser standards catch up.

The current deficiencies in the vanilla browser can mostly be mitigated with some simple web components. The ones that can't are things like date input, file uploads, lack of styling for many of the native elements, etc.

The only way to determine fair market value is by having a free market sale.

For example, I had a run-in with the property tax assessor. He assessed my house at an unreasonably high price. I filed a protest, and then had a conversation with him. I offered to sell him the house at a considerably lower price, and he could then flip it for what he assessed it at.

He refused.

I eventually did sell it, for considerably less than the assessed value.

As anyone following stocks knows, the fair market value of a company can vary dramatically minute by minute.

Right, so hole punching alone doesn’t solve the problem of NAT traversal, which is why TURN and things like it are needed.

Having worked with shared library systems, yeah micro or even macro services are far and away more preferable to deal with.

At very least, having clear boundaries on data ownership is something I really wish my company had done from the start. We have legacy structures that are very hard to iterate on because they get loaded by ~20 different applications directly from the database. That means any minor change to that structure requires careful planning and roll out of the shared library to these 20 services.

Were these behind a service, we'd still have to negotiate the structure (we could, for example, delete a field willy nilly) but we'd be able to add new fields to the structure or change the way those fields are populated to meet current business requirements without a mass rollout.

I do think the micro/nano approach can often be wrong. I think a service should be as big as it should be to cover the domain it's dealing with. But, importantly, who owns what bit of information is by large the most important thing to get right.

Democracy doesn't work as it should when Big Tech and Big Business pull the strings to get what they want.

When entities other than ordinary citizens get their way—as they do—then citizens are disadvantaged. That ought to be pretty damn obvious, if not then take a look at the world around you.

For starters, examine the myriad of legislation that's beneficial to ordinary citizens that has been blocked or neutered by Big Tech/Business. Citizens may have the vote but they don't hold the power.

1. Borrow lots of cash

2. Buy a victim company with the cash

3. Carry out weird financial/legal alchemy to make the victim company solely responsible for paying off the loan

4. If the victim company can’t handle the debt and goes bankrupt, then you don’t own the company any more. That’s sad. Especially for the people who lose their jobs. But the people you borrowed the cash from can’t chase you for it, so no harm done, eh?

5. If the victim company pays off all the debt, then congratulations: you bought a successful profitable company for free!

I don’t understand step 3 or why it’s legal.
As a member of Gen Z who grew up with cultural artefacts assembled by these people, I feel very much sympathy for their plight. I do not know why but this article gave me a memory of when I would read the funny pages and use my putty egg to take the pictures ink out and stamp them on paper. I remembered the witty computer articles that got me interested in the stuff at first, the thoughtfully made CDR games I played on my G4, the music and television they made that was so enjoyable. It seems with the loss of these people we're losing the tangibility of our culture, with it it's humanity, it's intentionality. Nowadays so many glyphs, stills and media are meant to just be eye-catching and appealing to some shared understanding, versus this identity that so many brands once had, that there was a feeling that someone was trying, granting you some comprehensive vision.

Oh well, it’s not just about microservices… The whole damm IT/software world is just like that.
Very few well-defined things, very few good standards,
very few agreed upon architectures.

From an electrical engineering background, it is mind-boggling to me how we got to this convoluted software world. It’s like having different electric sockets in the same building. The only hard standards seem to be IP and HTTP.

I just have two basic explanations for that:
1. Most software today has no relationship to physics or the hardware it is running on. Hence, there is no need for optimization.
2. In new projects you always start from scratch and there are few guidelines/truths/principles to hold the developer accountable to. And if there are, then you can always discuss their applicability to your problem.
> Sure, but does not XML have the exact same problem because everything is just a text?

No, you can specify what type an attribute (or element) is in the XSD (for example, xs:dateTime or xs:date). And there is only one way to specify a date in XML, and it's ISO8601. Of course JSON schema does exist, but it's mostly an afterthought.

Education is tricky. The wrong education can really stunt your economic competitiveness. I'm sure the Soviet world had plenty of classroom time devoted to the glory of Communism. Each classroom probably had a politruk available to help out.

So numbers from the only supplier...?

You are making a false comparison. Even if we assume the number is correct, you're making a false comparison - COBOL is a language, "embedded drivers" is a software component. The equivalent to your COBOL number is all C/C++ developers.

Looking at some random online statistics like you did, COBOL is at 0.7% usage in 2024 vs. 20.3% for C and 23% for C++. Is that statistic credible? No, but neither is yours, and what matters is that COBOL doesn't.

Compare language or language, or component to component.

(Not to mention that "embedded driver developer" is not s category I'd ever make - half of what an embedded developer does would be classified as "drivers", and that term is only really used for non-embedded.)

There's a single scene in the film- when the ship takes off and you see New York hundreds of years in the future- that has more detail and plot potential in it than nearly any other movie I've seen. https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/comments/96xs5h/in_the...
I've been in this industry for three decades now, and one thing that I've observed in a number of teams is that when someone has a really strongly held belief about something in this field -- microservices, languages, web frameworks, where to put the trailing curly brace, indentation, etc -- a good percentage of the time it can be traced back to some interpersonal issue/conflict they had with someone else in their workplace/team/peer group.

I could watch it happen in real time. Person A would advocate a position on one of those items, and their nemesis on the team, B, would then build their whole personality around being against that position. They would adjust every existing belief to now fit their new perspective. It would become boringly predictable.

So when someone is really passionate and certain about something like this, my natural thought is "who hurt you?". Especially on something as amorphous and hard to pin down like microservices where it's easy to attack it from a hundred angles that likely have no relevance to an actual implementation.

Like, it really doesn't matter that much. You can make an excellent solution using almost any approach. You can use all sorts of frameworks and languages and platforms, etc. It'll all be okay.

I’m interested in understanding what happened to the debt. My simplistic understanding was that a bunch of the $13B debt raised for the twitter aq was secured by Tesla stock, with some sort of callable mechanism (which got a bit scary when Tesla stock sank).

I assume with this deal some of that debt got converted to equity ($1B?) and any callable mechanisms got repriced but I cannot find details to figure this out.
