Double jaw-drop. First when the (dynamic) match was slower than the hash map, second when sort_unstable was faster than the hash map! Cool article. It's clear that all my theoretical algorithm-knowledge comes short when faced with real

Sony MDR 605LP is an example of a very open design. I used to own a pair, and I quite enjoys listening to them (by myself). Seems like today Open-Back Headphones is more popular, they are still open in the back. The sound of the open air he

In a global economy I think a good national average is more important than the peaks. The genius invention will spread, and there is significant value in having a population which can utilise it. As another example, if cancer is cured tomor

It is more the 'and should not be disturbed'. I did not grow up in the wild, and the default state of civilisation, even simple tribes, is certainly not unregulated. You are expected to take into account how your actions affect ot

There seems to be a implicit assumption here that the world witouth the regulation is the 'natural' one, which should not be disturbed without good reason? Not entailing regulations also has second and third order effects, and usu

How does the first entail the second? The way I read the text of the law, it acknowledges that there are regional locking inside the EU, and you should be allowed to bring your subscriptions with you as you travel the EU. Sounds like you wo

We tried that for 40 years. The result is drawers full of chargers. But clearly there is a price for the standardisation, it makes progress slower. On the other hand it makes everyone's lifes easier. Just as with e.g electrical outlets

This is a false dichotomy though, as I linked previously in this thread, adult Sweeds are above Koreans, and only slightly below Japanese in both literacy, numeracy, and problem solving. Personally I think it's easy to overestimate how

Although in a global world, it's not clear that it's best for a country to focus on getting the absolute best, IF if means the average suffers from it. There is value in being the best, but for the economy it's also important

And still (or maybe because?) the resulting adults in Sweeden score above e.g Korea in both numeracy and adaptive problem solving (but slightly less than Japan). The race is not about being best at 16 after all. https://gpseducat

Notice that I am not saying that labour is not getting more purchasing power, just that owners is getting more quicker. Luckily our increase in productivity is high enough that both can get more in absolute terms, although owners gets a lar

So, talk me through where I am wrong. I will use the example in my sibling post you did not reply to. If you put 10 million into the S&P 500 in 2002 you would get a dividend of roughly 132k (1.32%). That's your share, as a owner, o

It's hard when people call me confused :-/ But I would edit it away if I could! But it seems like I can't edit this post anymore, should I be able to?

No, because more poor people get to eat, which is a good thing.

Why would they produce more if they could? It must meet the demand at the current price point. More money goes to poor people, more demand for food at the current price. That will increase the price, which will increase production. Short te

Inflation is important yes, but it hits the stocks and salaries the same. So the ratio between them are the same, and the moral of the story, that most of the wealth goes to the owners, remains. But yeah, how amazing the productivity increa

(First, I apologise that this message must be hasty, I must do life stuff). I really feel like your first graph proves my point? OK, at times it goes up, at times it goes down. But since 2002 the dividend is the same, but the S&P 500 is

Feel free to look at dividend yields, but I can pretty much guarantee that it has not halfed in the period the stock market doubled. Most likely it stayed relatively flat, somewhere between 1.5% and 2%. So if you had 100 million you would g

I encourage everyone to do the following simple exercise: look at the main stock market in your country, and see how far back you must go for the main index to be half of what it is today. The answer is probably somewhere between 5 and 7 ye

It could, at least temporarily. But there is no reason to belive it won't stabilise again. Increased demand without increased production will increase prices. But then producers will follow, and production will increase, and prices wil

If the new gpt 5 is actually better, then this oss version is not really a threat to Openai's income stream, but it can be a threat to their competitors.

But why does the pilot then comment that they are in the CUTTOF position and move it to RUN? A mechanical failure would have to also move the physical switch in the cockpit for the audio recording to make sence.
207.
by Epa095 1y ago
But from the audio recording it seems like one pilot is noticing them bering in the CUTOFF position, and asking why (and moving it back). If the switch was actually in RUN, but some other issue caused the signal to be sendt, the pilot would

Noam Chomsky is 96 years old, so 80 years ago he was 16. I don't think choosing a time span which is his adult life is unreasonable.

I absolutely hope they release them. But given Israels behaviour on the West Bank and Gaza over the last decades there is no reason to belive that it would make them stop their human rights violations.
