Wayback spotted some of it, but after bouncing through its 302 capture one ends up here, but yes, the actual repo is still gone and the "in page" snapshot doesn't render the actual pdf:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220917133741/https://github.co...

Also, after some url surgery it seems Wayback did grab the .tar.gz of a release <https://web.archive.org/web/20201226113237/https://codeload....> but sadly it does not include the pdf, only some .png and a helpfully named "Software/blank", and also an "asset" of ChessOracle1.2.zip containing the .h5 weights but no pdf to be seen

> Part of the problem is that sarcasm relies heavily on shared group values (common wisdom), to make it clear that a given statement is meant in the opposite sense. Our shared group values have been fragmented pretty hard (eg half the country has thrown away conservative American values

Apart from that, it is also true that a lot of people here aren't Americans (hello from Australia). I know this is a US-hosted forum, but it is interesting to observe the divide between Americans who speak as if everyone else here is an American (e.g. "half the country") and those who realise many of us aren't

Certainly, So I use an IDE, IntelliJ Ultimate to be precise.

None of the use-cases you mention requires LLM. Just available as IDE functionalities.

IntelliJ has LLM based auto complete, with which I am okay, But it still wrong too many times. Works extremely well with Rust. Their non-llm autocomplete is also superb, which uses ML for suggesting closest, relevant match, IIRC.

It also makes refactoring a breeze, I know what it's going to do exactly.

Also, it can handle database refactoring to a certain capacity! And for that it does not require LLM, so no nondeterministic behavior.

Also, the IDE have its own way of doing http requests, and it's really nice! But, I can use their live template to do autocomplete any boilerplate code. It only requires setting once. No need to fiddle with prompts.

There is a lot of fetishization of this terminology in the spaced repetition community. It's really best to ignore it, it's not based in much.

I think their mental metaphor is that cards allow you to memorize nodes, and understanding is having a feel for the entire graph. But cards also help you to memorize links between nodes, subgraphs, overviews, principles, etc...

I also think it's mostly a ready made array of excuses to read off to somebody who is having a crisis of faith about whether a Anki is helping them or not: you're holding it wrong. You haven't put in the work. Are you making your own decks, you can't use other people decks because making your own decks = understanding (for mysterious reasons, do you really understand something you can't remember?) Are your facts atomic enough? Basically direct or indirect paraphrases of the Supermemo wiki.

Supermemo didn't discover anything, he computerized something that desperately needed to be computerized, and at that point wasn't restricted to the algorithms that could be executed by shuffling around physical cards, such as Leitner boxes (which are awesome, still, by the way.) His analysis is great to read and often insightful, but is no more profound than many others and often far less scientifically grounded. People just are addicted to parasocial relationships with self-improvement gurus.

What's the Venn diagram of people stuck with 32-bit hardware and people needing features of newer kernels? Existing kernels will keep working. New devices probably wouldn't support that ancient hardware; seen any new AGP graphics cards lately?

There's not a compelling reason to run a bleeding edge kernel on a 2004 computer, and definitely not one worth justifying making the kernel devs support that setup.

right on all counts

though resistance is amusing

the whole set up is symetrical in that it still requires many millions of individuals to self manage a significant portion of the sales, and so having a bit of web frontage and making a buck is easy

millions of people, blithly causing every kind of chaos without any specific intent to resist or oppose anything just trying for a piece of the pie, no malice, no grand plan for world domination, but fearsly focused on getting something for themselves, and will lie and cheat and steal, and break things, but just a little bit

and so, today, we can see the attempts by various powers to institue some order around here, though there laments are startlingly similar to the chant's of the god's decrying how they could not get any peace ir rest,because of all the noise and trouble caused by the people of mesoptamia 4000 years ago

I've never liked that parable; it seems to me an incredibly poor argument, standing on its own. It literally itself contrasts the definite circulation of money in the destruction case, with a "could" spend on other things. Or he could not. He could have kept it, waiting for another opportunity later, reducing the velocity of money and contributing to inequality.

It doesn't even cover non-renewable resources, or state that the window intact is a form of wealth on its own!

I'm not naive, I'm sure thousands have made these arguments before me. I do think intact windows are good. I'm just surprised that particular framing is the one that became the standard

Here's a dumb idea:

- Take the most recent sale prices of all neighboring parcels within a quarter mile

- Take the land-area weighted average price per square foot

- Assess the given property as its land area times that average

Practically, this can be assessed without ever visiting any of the properties, and there are no games for either the assessors or the owners to play to manipulate it. Each neighbor serves as an example of the potential use (and therefore value) of local parcels. Yes, your hole-in-the-ground gets taxed the same as a skyscraper of the same size. Have you considered building something useful on it?

(Yes, as usual, parks, churches, and other non-economically-extractive community amenities would be exempt from _paying_ the tax, but that doesn't change the assessment)

Budgets are fortunately generally not this inflexible.

A drop in alcohol sales would cause the budget to be reworked. If they decide to cut the education budget in response, that's fine, but they would not simply throw up their hands and say "oh well, no books for students".

If you worked two jobs, and deposited one paycheck into a bank account that you labeled "food" and the second into a different bank account labeled "rent, savings, and everything else", and you lost the job that got deposited into the "food" account, would you starve?

Well for me, I was already 46 when a recruiter from Amazon Retail reached out to me about an SDE (software development) position at Amazon Retail. They said it would require relocation after COVID (this was April 2020). I knew about Amazon’s reputation from both stories and my best friend who had worked as an L6 in the finance department.

There was no way in hell I was going to sell my house and uproot my life to work for Amazon. Then the recruiter after she kept talking suggests I interview for a “permanently remote” [1] “field by design” role at AWS ProServe. I thought sure why not?

The plan was always to make some money - I made over a quarter million more over 3.5 years than I could have made as an enterprise dev working in Atlanta - put AWS on my resume, gain some industry contacts and move on in four years.

I saw the writing on the wall shortly before my 3 year anniversary. I played the game well enough to get past my next vesting period and get my “bust your ass and try to work through your PIP or receive a $40K+ severance and ‘leave immediately’”.

I didn’t hesitate. I took the severance and already had two job offers lined up and had been waiting on the severance offer.

[1] They forced their “field by design” customer facing roles in the office at the end of last year. I would have left anyway before I ever went back into the office.

What task have they failed in? And, more importantly, what is the better approach?

You've asserted 60% of Americans having at least one chronic condition is a failure and begged the question that it is a failure (instead of a reasonable expectation of the health of mortals, especially mortals in a population that starts to skew older as our birth rates fall relative to the baby boom... Or the consequence of accurate tracking and reporting on an ever-widening set of understood or recognized conditions). Start by convincing the room there is a problem to solve before asserting leadership has failed at it.

And even if there is a problem to solve: entropy being what it is, there are infinitely more worse ways to do things than there are better. Even if the CDC's approach has room for improvement, from whence comes the confidence that putting a debunked conspiracy believer (https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/11/15/rfk-jrs-con...) and anti-vaccination activist at its helm leads to improvement?

I could forgive un to non-, but what the hell was the logic in just removing non-? That it was like (it isn't) [in]flammable just because the 'in' isn't negating 'terruptible'?

Actually, even that doesn't make sense, you can't remove non- from non-inflammable either, that would only work if it was the 'in' removed.

Applications don't get 4GB with a 32-bit address space. The practical split between application and kernel was usually 1-3 or 2-2 with 3-1 being experimental and mooted with the switch to 64-bit. Nowadays with VRAM being almost as large as main RAM, you need the larger address space just to map a useful chunk of it in.

When you factor in memory fragmentation, you really only had a solid 0.75-1.5GB of space that could be kept continuously in use. That was starting to become a problem even when 32-bit was the only practical option. A lot of games saw a benefit to just having the larger address space, such that they ran better in 64-bit with only 4GB of RAM despite the fatter 64-bit pointers.

>The best fresh graduates from the top colleges went to Google and Facebook in the last decade -- because they paid significantly more -- and Microsoft picked up the rest.

1. The best new grads are absolutely not going to Google or Meta. There are many far sexier companies. As a CS grad, landing in big tech is mostly regarded as having settled for mediocrity.

2. Microsoft's compensation for early career is competitive with Google and Meta (at least for the first couple of years; Meta will grow your level faster and Google gives better annual RSU refreshers, but many people don't know this and go by the offer's face value). I don't think there's much of a difference in the talent that they can pick up.

Microsoft also aggressively sops up the best talent in Tier 2 geos -- it's unlikely that the best devs in the Bay Area work at Microsoft but some of the best devs in Vancouver or Atlanta probably work at Microsoft.

Well this is what set me thinking:

> "... if Amazonians sat down and asked themselves "what do customers need in order to design their applications well" they could probably come up with several services which Amazon already has internally. AWS should return to its roots and release important building blocks - the things customers will need, not necessarily what they're asking for."

I'm guessing shareholders would rather cut services and costs to increase profits on the short term, rather than listening to engineers inside the company who are saying, "look, if we let customers use these great internal tools we've built for our own needs, everyone will be happier and this will improve our services and bring in more customers."

Again - labor is more important than capital for long-term survivability.

When I was shopping for homes, I found several things: the city's records of improvements was comically disconnected from the ground truth (admittedly much of that was due to taxation of improvements which would wash out in the long-run) and that the inherent human judgment ("this one was done by a blind, half-assed house-flipper", "this one needs $100K of maintenance soon", "this one was last updated in 1970", "this one was designed and built by absolute master craftspeople", "this one is next door to a known problem house", "this school is a GreatSchools 9, but buyers believe it sucks") could swing the price between two spreadsheet-identical homes by 40%.

Either you need to bring in human judgment to account for those factors, or have enough data to hope that people will accept that these differences will reliably come out in the wash. If you could, Zillow probably wouldn't have lost around $1B robo-buying during a massive real-estate boom.

I have the same one, and my favorite unexpected feature coming from other more digital alarm clocks is that you have to set it every night. There is nothing but an on/off switch; if the alarm is ringing, you switch the alarm off, then turn it back on in at least 12 hours (or else it'll go off at, say, 8PM). That means part of my nightly routine is checking my calendar and turning on my alarm as appropriate, but now I never worry about the alarm being set for too early/late/on on a holiday. Also, it's so loud, I haven't fallen back asleep after the alarm since I got it.

The founding fathers would hate to have seen property taxes. It's so unamerican and against freedom.

I can't speak for property other than the one primary residence of a citizen, but the concept of having your land taken away post-purchasing is....absurd.

"But...utilities/services/something?" Pay for them.

Primary residence purchased land ownership for citizens should be a right enshrined in the constitution.

> See the other versions I added.

I don't think those work either. Not only do neither of those actually end the lifetime of what's passed in, but they have other flaws as well.

> template <std::movable T> void drop(T &&) {}

This literally does nothing. Reference parameters don't affect what's passed in on their own - you need at least something on the other end (e.g., a move constructor) to do anything.

For example, consider how this would be instantiated for std::vector<int>:

template <> void drop(std::vector<int>&&) {}

> void drop(std::movable auto){}

I believe this is equivalent to passing by value, so this will actually invoke a copy if what's passed in isn't eligible for a move (or if the move constructor is equivalent to the copy constructor, since copyable subsumes movable). Again, consider how this would be instantiated for std::vector<int>:

template <> void drop(std::vector<int>) {}

> > dispose of something "early".

> This is a bit of an anti pattern in C++, but doable of course.

I don't think you can do quite the same thing in C++ without introducing new scopes.

No, that's not what I said. Once again, you are not being careful with your words, and as a result what you say has only a tenuous relationship to the truth. Yes, you acknowledged your mistake, yet you still insisted upon that incorrect figure later, to a different person in a different subthread.

As for the 500k figure, I'm not interested in disputing it since it's just as irrelevant as your 6.6% figure, for reasons I've already mentioned. But since you insist, I'll list them out again:

1. That figure is listing total exits, not distinct exiting individuals. Since most of those exits were made by workers and traders (who might cross very frequently, maybe daily), there is good reason to believe that the number of distinct exiting individuals is vastly lower. For example, if everyone crossing was a daily trader, the true number of exiting individuals would be smaller by a factor of 365. Of course, not everyone making the crossing is a worker or trader, only most of them, and we don't know how often they cross.

2. That figure does not distinguish exits by Palestinians, Israelis, or other citizens, so it has no bearing on whether Palestinians are trapped in Gaza or not. Many Israeli workers also cross into and out of Gaza constantly.

3. This figure is from before October 7, and movement is more restricted now. But, since you are focusing on the use of the term "open-air prison" before the massacre, I won't count that against you.

By the way, I certainly don't insist on calling Gaza an "open-air prison", that's far too imprecise for me. I simply object to the way that you misinterpret facts to support your argument.

Mechahitler, the South African genocide debacle, explicitly checking Elons Twitter feed, “You get your news from infowars” system prompts, etc have basically made Grok not a real option for me. I do not want to use a product that is specifically being engineered to be a right wing disinformation machine.

And no, generic brand safety mishaps are not the same; everyone is not doing this.
