How do you act on a GOAWAY you haven't received and allowing the server to unilaterally stop supporting things can lead to weird edge cases. After all you could say any client ignoring a GOAWAY is either bugged or malicious but certain

I think calling it overzealous government orders is giving eBay too much credit. If you ask "what is the quickest way to filter X" someone is going to do a keyword search. You could then actually put forth the effort to properly f

If you need the throughput gains of right on red 9 times out of 10 you have a dedicated arrow that avoids turning on when pedestrians can cross. There is no meaningful impact on delay when you have to wait for the green. People are just imp

There are no exceptions. Google the search engine was paid for by Google Ads past the initial period and those are certainly marketing and sales. Amazon certainly focused on sales stuff early on. And while AWS is a technical marvel the pric

That isn't necessarily true, it takes a long time for everyone to know something. It doesn't cost you much to glaze over the parenthetical but helps a lot for the couple of readers who won't understand. Especially since Googl

Most countries don't allow right on red for safety reasons.

None of this says "we shouldn't eliminate unsafe rules" which is exactly what right on red is. Right on red leads to drivers "stopping" in the sidewalk (or California stopping), failing to check to their right due t

Is it really worse now than it was before? Having a plug on say a laptop that can be a charger, a HID, a drive, a monitor, or all of the above with a docking station is vastly superior to the old day IMHO. Unfortunately the cable to do that

EU has been trying to work with Apple on this almost since the lighting cable was released. I believe there were discussions about potentially standardizing on Lighting if Apple relinquished it's tight control over the technology but t

I think GitHub is half the problem with how people perceive Git. There are friction points between how Git works and how GitHub wants to do them. Rebase is a nice compromise between merge which makes reading history and hard and squash whi

I agree with the core point of the article but the bit about unused bar charts reminded me of a weird reality. You don't know the bar charts you need when you make them. Not in a "you didn't do enough research" way (wate

I don't think it raised the GDP as evidenced by the GDP normally increasing by 2%. Saying "but it would have been lower" is pointless.

Only because everyone pretends that payroll taxes don't count. Individual income tax is $1.96T but payroll taxes are $1.48T.

The TJCA increased our deficit by 1.2% of GDP and the economy grew by 0.7 to 3.5% in the two years from when it passed to COVID making measurements meaningless. Assuming the upper end of that and half the usual 2% YoY growth we paid 1.2% of

Our highest tax bracket is 37% and kicks in at almost $700k for married filing jointly. We have a lot of headroom for more taxes.

Microsoft has charged a subscription to enterprise for Windows for a long time now. Finding information about subscriptions is unsurprising.

Unity was different because the pricing was insane for F2P titles. Some successful titles only manage $0.50/install, going from 0 to 40% revenue share was insane. Way more importantly making it retroactive was unheard of. Unity even ha

Confidence? The article is explicit that everyone thinks future bonds will have higher interest rates. This isn't a "we don't think these will mature" this is "we think future bonds will have higher interest rates.&

The Chinese room is not saying humans are smart. It is showing the difference between knowledge and action. Understanding a language is distinct from responding to language prompts. Unless you are claiming LLM is AGI which is a laughable pr

You don't just "move on" from a multi million line code base. Hell everything only works by interoping with those languages given the OS is written in one of them.

This isn't just <= vs <. It is absolutely possible to write a comparator that evaluates things in a circle e.g. 1<2 && 2<3 && 3<1. At that point it is impossible to "do your best" there is no co

Honestly I think unsafe Rust is the solve here. Often you have an isolated data structure that is relatively simple that needs to break the borrow checker rules (without invoking UB such as multiple mutable references). An often times a saf

Why doesn't passing the Turing Test mean you are sentient is an open question but most agree that it is obvious there is a gap here. "Predicting text" is just a falacy born from applying function logic to humans. "Well i

I would say LLM is at best a precursor for a memory system. But saying we almost have AGI because we have a template for HDDs isn't exactly representative IMHO.

Being able to mix what you have seen before isn't an accurate representation of any popular model for human intelligence to my knowledge. It is akin to a backronym "well that sounds similar so is the same" while ignoring the

The former issue will be easier to fix than the latter. After all going against the establishment generally results in failure. Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity may not agree with each other but they both have destroyed mountains of

My understanding of the paper is less "we couldn't reproduce this paper" and more "insufficient data is available to guarantee any replication is identical". Basically how can you be sure your difference points to a

Replication crisis occurred because nobody replicated. It wasn't that you couldn't (although I slightly overgeneralized the ease of replication I will admit). Pretending that the tools we have aren't useful because they aren&
