Assuming things start getting weird about 18 months from now, poetry and uv have very similar semantics, so 18 months of comically faster workflows sounds nice.

Not the operating system:

By this argument, since Tesla regularly updates the software, no one can discuss the weaknesses in their self driving software.

Don’t disagree about finishing the task, but personally I don’t find more performant languages any less productive for the sort of programming I tend to do.

Lots of very smart people have worked very hard on Python tools written in Python, yet the rust rewrites of those tools are so much faster. Sometimes it really is the programming language.

Maybe a fine approach for the individual, but then the black market, and its general disregard for the law or the well being of others, comes along with them.

It doesn’t sound like you’re familiar with the case and why it’s being brought against Purdue Pharma. There is a whole lot more to this than “the drug” and “the person”.

You may be surprised to discover that services will filter traffic by location.

But Microsoft has misused their market power plenty of times, such as when they bundled Microsoft Teams with their enterprise contract at zero cost, destroying Slack's market value overnight.

In the aggregate, yes, but in the specific, no. Companies nowadays want to see which advertising channels and specific ads, over a given period of time, are performing, so as to decide how to better invest their ad spend

China is neutral.

Neutrality in the face of gross violations of international law amounts to tacit support. And yes, I understand that you have addressed this point in your comment, but whataboutism gets us nowhere. If a country is violating human rights, they should be held accountable.

Taiwan and China are recognized by the United States by international treaty as one country.

A treaty not worth the paper it's written on. It's clear that the United States would defend Taiwan militarily were it to come to that, so mentioning as a reason to punish China that China continues to provoke Taiwan militarily is very relevant.

The reason for this is the US sees China's economic rise as a threat to its global position.

Ahh yes, of course, this war being entirely the US' fault.

Since the location of where the mud is gathered is considered a secret, I imagine it's more about giving people a different reason as to why he's there.

Disagree. First, it wouldn’t be $10 split evenly amongst a billion people, some people would end up losing significantly more than others. Second, we can’t speak to the real world consequences of massive fraud in this particular case yet, but in the case of the Bernie Madoff fraud, multiple people are known to have killed themselves as a result of their loss, so we can only assume similar outcomes here.

Strongly disagree with both claims. Fraud of a sufficient degree causes harm at a scale that is equivalent (in economic terms at least) to the consequences of murder. And jail time absolutely speaks to wealthy people, given the amount of money and effort wealthy people will spend defending themselves to avoid it.

I know that Chick Fil-A does exactly this, based on an engineering post of theirs.

On the other hand, Alphabet's inability to deploy GPT-3 or GPT-3.5 has led to the possibility of its disruption, so anti-trust treatment may not be necessary.

Shouldn't these companies be able to issue stock to get some cheap capital to continue growth/hiring?

Yes, but then the stock price would go down, which obviously isn't allowed.

Nah. More like C is a bunch of hand tools, and C++ is those same hand tools, plus a bunch of power tools. Sure, you could just use the hand tools, and hey maybe they even give you a better of sense of what you’re building at a low level, but it’s exhausting, and it turns out the power tools are really useful.

This feels like the reason you'd like for E3 to have failed, but doesn't line up with the evidence. E3's attendance peaked in 2005, well before booth babes were banned and groupies were cracked down upon. It's decline started right as video streaming took off on the internet, and accelerated as companies like Activision and Sony began pulling out of the event, making it less and less relevant or useful.

Slow execution of pure python code - this is the ONLY area where you are perhaps correct... but compared to what?

Compared to… basically everything? Python’s performance is unacceptable, especially given that single threaded processor performance isn’t really improving any longer.

I am not a lawyer, but this doesn't seem quite "free". Note that they aren't indemnifying customers for any consequences of said legal claims, meaning that customers would seem to bare the full brunt of those consequences should there be a credible copyright infringement claim.

Except if it's this article - https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times...

IIRC it was part of the Inflation Reduction Act.

One of Python’s most serious issues is that it is one of the slowest programming languages actively developed and used today, if it isn’t the slowest outright. This isn’t due to its success, this is due to the language’s performance having been deemed not a priority until somewhat recently.

So CEO compensation there is excessive for sure. That said, charity care is probably better measured vs a hospital’s net income absent any such care. My understanding is these hospitals are squeezed on both sides of the healthcare system by insurance and health equipment and drug providers, so they don’t have a lot of net income to spare for charity care.

Jamboard had paying customers, and they discontinued that on short notice, so paying only gets you so far.

The world has survived many a technological advancement but, if AI were to make it so Worker B "doesn't need to work" going forward, our society is not structured to support Worker B in any meaningful way, and that's something to be concerned about.

You're limited in the amount you can purchase at any given time, and it's (for me at least) often not available in the form I want it in, making it a real pain in the ass to rely on.

Played with some of the sample queries and did some babies first queries (`1h type="comment" | table`, real crazy stuff here). Pretty cool.

What does the log ingestion stack look like here for your demo?

Would Amazon drivers unionizing cause Amazon to offshore drivers?

If Amazon drivers unionizing would cause Amazon to eliminate drivers, does that suggest unions lack strength, or that unions have strength that Amazon fears?
