Yes, but it's not the final solution. For example docker and docker-compose don't support composition. There's a market opportunity for something better. I thought it might be Nix, but seems to have not caught on.
>Carrying cash is exactly how you lose it all to police corruption, sometimes called civil asset forfeiture.

What a foolish strawman. As if people were to carry all their net worth in cash everywhere they go.
The 2nd time I took a long time off between jobs, I eventually got bored to the point that I wanted to work but on different things. I decided to do some online contracting. One site I found was TopCoder[0]. I liked the way the system was set up and they had different sorts of arrangements from bugfixes paying the first submission to pass acceptance, to longer period contests awarding 1st, 2nd, 3rd prices, etc. I only worked on things that were new/interesting to me and typically would be very keen for the first 80%, and sometimes complete (submission with a pretty good win/show/place record). My completion rate was probably less than 33%, sometimes only missing by hours. I guess the OCD in me made me finish those close-to-done ones anyway.

Unless you're very quick at what you do and can find work that suits, the hourly rate can be pretty dismal. That was when it was likely less popular, and rates may have gone down. The upsides are that the posts are well written up, challenging, and have TopCoder staff that oversees the process with a Q&A forum for each contest where questions answered, requirements clarified, materials are posted, etc.

> it is inevitable that things like that will be written. And why not?

We can't just blame the programming language for programmers not understanding how computers work.

I think as computers have gotten faster, and languages higher level, we've stopped talking about computers as mechanical devices. And this is a really important perspective to have.

Can you answer these questions about your program?

- How big is your binary / JS bundle? What parts take up most of the space?

- When your program runs, what does the computer spend most of its time executing? What parts of your program are the slowest, and why?

- How big is the memory footprint? Which parts of your program use the most RAM?

For binary programs (like rust / Go / C), which patterns are easier or harder for the optimizer?

If there are two ways to design your code, how do you discover which approach will run faster?

This stuff shouldn't be considered advanced concepts. An architect understands the building they've designed. A chef knows what their food tastes like. When you program, you're making a thing. You should understand what you made and how it will be executed on the computer.
From what I can see, your comment doesn't address the parent's comment at all. Government is not a "profit-seeking enterprise," it's a monopoly on violence. That is an enormous difference. I am not sure why you focus so much on businesses.
Sure, if you sit at your desk all month, never visit a high street, and also can't use a postbox, this is an unsolvable problem. Got me.

I'm out yo, physical interactions are better than this GPT-3 shite.
I think we're talking past each other to some extent. Putting aside the question of how misleading it is to market a 16 bit multiply as a "TF32" operation, this is all about tradeoffs. The specific tradeoff that these tensor cores make is that in exchange for reduced precision (and a programming model which is even more of a pain than ordinary compute shaders, an astonishing achievement in and of itself), you get a lot more throughput. For certain AI workloads, particularly inference, that tradeoff is well worth it.

Reading between the lines a little, it sounds like your infrastructure is potentially able to exploit a good deal of the available throughput for FP32 workloads. That's great, and I'm happy to see it! However, for workloads that don't need that much precision, the tradeoff might be a lot less advantageous to M1. That may change again if and when Apple opens up lower-level APIs to their hardware, or reverse engineering delivers usable results.
If you are making the home out of old growth lumber and stone, using materials meant to last is vital to the longevity of the home as well.

If you're using engineered or dimensional lumber from 15 year pine, getting 75 years out of the home without major structural upgrades is going to be a rarity so you might as well use wire nails. Most of those nails would outlast the home anyway.
Ironically (or perhaps interestingly), none were built for the actual outcome.
The first, third, and fourth were all built with the dream of IPO in mind.
The second was built as a lifestyle business.

Yeah... the batting average is why I've never done a fifth. I wanted to pull a Sandy Koufax and go out on top.
> "complete prevention of the ability to feel safe"

Kind of a hard thing to prove. I don't feel safe due to climate destruction. Can we invoke the Emergencies Act against the Canadian fossil fuel industry and the automotive parts manufacturers to make me feel better?
I remember someone posting an article of common nginx config security mistakes but can't find it. Does anyone remember? I would like to read through that again as well.
> the battle is partly won in several U.S. cities (including NYC & SF) which passed laws to mandate acceptance of cash

In SF, despite the laws, many businesses openly had a no-cash policy once the pandemic started. "Sorry, Credit Cards Only. Touching money might transmit Covid" is too easy of an argument, even though it's essentially a non-concern now. And I haven't seen businesses go back to accepting cash as lockdowns have ended. Will be interesting to see if SF authorities actually try to enforce this law.
Good design is often subtle and easy to dismiss, especially for smart engineers. You might remember the "What's the deal? It's just mastermind with letters" comments here and elsewhere. I agree with the article that Wordle got many little things right, and I think that's a huge part of its success.

I wonder how long it will stay that way under NY Times ownership. Just today, I was greeted with a new cookie prompt that covered up the keyboard on mobile Safari and wouldn't disappear without a refresh. Not a good sign of things to come.
They literally have links to everything being presented.... that's what makes it Open Source. You're more than welcome to verify all the facts independently, as many already are. That level of transparency is not possible with CNN.
Ha, I agree that software engineering is too hard for ML engineers, and even for software engineers like myself who have been doing it for 20 years like
zcw100 said :).

Author of the blog post here. It was definitely written from my narrow viewpoint and experience. Our goal is to make more solutions accessible to software developers and instinct was the same as yours - a lot of ML can be within the realm of engineering (even small / one-person teams) and that there are accidental complexities standing in the way of wider use. Our solution (AutoML+SaaS) def doesn't work for every situation. I'm curious to hear more of your thoughts on how ML can be made more accessible to Eng (and vice versa).
Does anyone really believe they're going to be able to plan the end of their careers, with the world moving as fast as it is these days? Even a five-year plan seems ambitious and full of unjustified assumptions, to me.
> Anyone who is applauding this, just imagine the opposite political party in power using this against you or organizations you support.

It was the opposite political party, the Conservative under PM Brian Mulroney, who wrote the Emergencies Act in the first place.

You'll still have a battery drain issue for Fedora 35 (1-2%/hour while in suspend). Like some other commenters, I went through the extra hassle to set up a swap partition and sleep-then-hibernate. I genuinely enjoy the laptop now that I've resolved the standby battery drain.
But that still doesn't really answer to what's the relevance to this discussion? It's not really a symptom of a smart TV nor the result of ads from aggressive cost cutting.

It's a cool hack, and probably the only conceivable reason I'd ever let a TV take a firmware update, but it's hardly relevant to the topic of whether or not you should let your TV access the internet or whether or not Smart TVs are malicious when denied internet access during setup.
Wrong country, again. States of emergency work very differently in Canada. Compare for yourself:

Coming soon for this market, "brain in a jar". Upload your consciousness into an Altered Carbon simulation, Source Code time loop or immortal-gaming-AI Daemon.

After gig economy workers unionize and raise delivery fees, hopefully they won't hire a mercenary army to enforce Code of Customer Conduct.
I'm not fully understanding your point. Are you saying that we shouldn't have saner laws in Canada because a country somewhere else struggles with corruption?
> US government actions are probably also to blame for the cases in Afghanistan & Pakistan. The CIA setup a fake vaccination clinic in their effort to catch Bin Laden [1].

So, I agree that this is obviously a heinous thing to do because of the unintended consequences that we are now going to be dealing with forever, but I understand the motivation.

With that said, Out of all the evil shit that has come out of CIA why did knowledge of this one become public and why did it become public so soon?

We wouldnt be facing these issues if someone had just kept their damn mouth shut.
So the big question I have is how do I get started ?

Looks like you had a small company, that was able to pivot and expand.

I'm planning on spending at least 3 months diving into my side projects, and then I'll try YC again.

Do I then just cold email various YC like funds until I fetch some interest, or should I focus on building my project.
Couldn't agree more. Having lived overseas really drives home the feeling that fixation on more vs. less is rather crude.

In a lot of ways, it feels like the Ron Swanson schtick from Parks and Recreation: if you're anti-government, you strive to get in power so that you can run government badly, thus proving that government is bad and that we should drown it in the bathtub.
I like that! Could definitely see it being quite a valuable option, provided it was opt-in.
The parent comments are talking about phone operating systems not hardware. And Microsoft is failing in that front, the Surface Duo missed it's target date for the Android 11 update multiple times. It didn't receive a11 until 4 months after Android 12 released. If they can't even keep Android up to date, there's no chance of them developing a separate mobile operating system.
Interestingly, the average must be the same for men and women (assuming equal numbers and considering only sex between one man and one woman), by construction. But that does not hold for the median necessarily.
Lantronix makes some nice products with VGA and HTML5 interface. However they seem to have tripled in price and I wonder if this is due to supply & demand. (Remember remote KVM over IP is a server-grade product that likely deals in low volumes so the price will reflect that.)

Phenomenon I've observed over the years, w/r/t to backend development/devops:

If you fix all the bugs that could possibly page you, then, by definition, you will only get paged by things you can't fix ("the network", undersea cable cut, data center explosions, etc).

This phenomenon feels like it needs a name, but I'm not aware of one. Is there one? What would you name it?
By ordering the banks to close their accounts. People are not holding significant portions of their wealth in physical cash outside of the banking system. Apart from it being absurdly dangerous, there's also not anything like enough physical currency to do that. Not to mention investment accounts, deeds to property, etc.

Businesses being forced to accept all the risk and inconvenience of accepting cash to protect people from having their assets is somewhere between a security theater and a straight up pipe dream.
I use an M1 Macbook for work and I also have a Framework for personal use and... yeah.

I adore the Framework but I really wish there was a REAL non-Apple competitor in the laptop space. The M1 is just _so_ quiet and fast, I really have to try hard to get the fan to spin up. Can't really speak for battery life since it never leaves my desk where it's plugged in haha.

It's a shame I despise macOS so much or else I'd use this work laptop for personal stuff more often.
RE cooperative matrix: they have functional units (AMX/ANE) that could hopefully be exposed in MSL via something shaped like cooperative matrix and I'm pretty sure it'd be fantastic. Everything today is locked behind CoreML and Accelerate and those are poor targets for modern compiler-based approaches :( On the Vulkan side there's been rumblings of a vendor-agnostic extension for cooperative matrix and support from major vendors - at which point I'm hoping that leads to Apple wanting to show off their own HW features.

RE MoltenVK: we were surprised how robust it is nowadays - we're definitely going to build out our own Metal backend for our abstraction layer but wanted to see what we could hit with the zero-code option and it's proven very useful for that! A MoltenVK build is on the order of ~12MB (last I looked) while the entire IREE runtime is 50-100KB so it's a hard pill to swallow, all other issues (security/memory consumption/startup time/etc) notwithstanding :)

AFAIK the memoryless storage is only for textures and mostly useful in render passes - Vulkan has this via VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT. In a way what we do in our compiler is fuse dispatches such that they never hit memory at all so it hasn't been something we've needed yet. For heavy compute workloads more control over virtual memory would be useful, though, ala https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/introducing-low-level-gpu-... - some of the biggest performance hurdles when it comes to highly dynamic ML is around memory management (being able to zero-copy resize buffers when data-dependent shapes change would be killer).

If the problem is that accounts were being frozen without due process, then couldn't it be solved by adding some due process to it, instead of just banning freezing accounts outright? Treat it more like an arrest. People who are arrested still have rights; it should be the same here. It should be strong enough to limit criminals while still allowing the innocent proper recourse.

Have a version of the writ of habeas corpus (habeas numus?) to quickly undo unlawful freezing. Maybe allow small amounts of money to be released to the accused, large enough to live on but too small to be of much use to criminals. Have an exception for paying for a lawyer. And if they're cleared, require banks not to keep records of the freezing to prevent discrimination.

(Discussions of this topic should also all include a mention of civil forfeiture, which is effectively when police officers are legally allowed to rob you. This is a thing that already exists and happens regularly.)
Most people think of heaven when it comes to the Bible's view of life after death, but it speaks more about a resurrection from the dead for the vast majority of people who die, to live forever on a paradise Earth.

There is something in us that makes us yearn for more than the short lives we have now (hardly anybody would choose to die if they had good health under normal circumstances), so these do resonate with us more than a purely materialistic world view, which has ostensibly left people with lack of contentment and sense of purpose.
Yet the tribalism has effectively made that 300-1 ratio closer to 1:1. Well, maybe not that extreme but the rotten two-party system is failing us.
Or, you know, developers could be thoughtful enough to create a half decent UX. That's not asking for a lot.

The exact same fears exist with the little youtube creators. And same for SEO website crowd.

I'd imagine tiktok creators feel the same.

Wrong. A democracy, at least a functioning and legitimate one, is not judged by enacting the will of the majority, but by protecting the rights of the minority.
Excellent article and one that I wish my friends would read. Recently on a hike I mentioned how upsetting Trudeau’s actions are, and none of my friends had any idea what was happening up in Canada, except someone talked about a few things that I don’t believe are true: truckers were violent, few Canadians supported them, etc. - I think those things are not true.

As other people here have pointed out, cashless society is just asking for brutal government overreach.

It wasn't one event, more like the ratings for CPUs just became laughably, transparently, utterly worthless, to the point where Intel i3 laptop CPUs were scoring higher than top-end AMD Threadripper CPUs. And they refused to acknowledge any issues.

Within a month or two after AMD started shipping CPUs with more than 8 cores, they tweaked the algorithm to ignore >8 cores. And various other ridiculous changes that hurt AMD's rankings.
A jack is something you fly on the back of a boat or ship (on a jackstaff). There are at least four local jacks that I can think of, eg the Army one which is red with a union flag motif in the upper left next to the staff. The RN has a white background with the union flag motif in the same place. Merk Navy - dark blue, RAF - light blue.

The Union flag is quite odd and in my opinion a masterpiece. It's not a jack.
My apologies, I don't usually reply like this. I felt like the parent brushed off the points raised too quickly.

People ask a lot of questions about Flutter on Stack Overflow because:

1. Flutter's docs are missing a lot of critical information. For example, try understanding the docs on the Navigator 2.0 API or finding out how to make an app launch screen.

2. Flutter is missing a lot of critical functionality. For example, try writing an integration test for a Flutter app [0]. You can't because the tooling is broken and Flutter Team refuses to fix it. Or try adding a keyboard dismiss button to your iOS app [1]. Also, when debugging Dart code, there is no way to inspect scheduled async tasks, so debugging concurrency issues is excruciating work.

Flutter Team has made little progress on mobile functionality in the last two years. For example, dark mode on iOS was left half implemented, with widgets requiring complicated workarounds to even be visible in dark mode [2].

Flutter's version number is 2.10 but for iOS it is actually a pre-1.0 product.

Flutter Team seems to have abandoned Flutter mobile and is entirely focused on web and desktop now.

I'm a solo entrepreneur and I regret choosing Flutter for my mobile app.

Yes, it is going to be laborious to have state-of-the-art deep learning implemented in your infrastructure.
The banks contacted the government to seek advice on what to with these funds before the Emergency Act. They have these funds they know belong to multiple individuals, including the account holder, and don't know what to do with them. Just because 100,000 people dumped money into your account for cause doesn't mean it belongs to you personally.

No individual protestors accounts have been frozen. If you donated to this cause you literally have no idea where your money went. If you participated in the protest and feel entitled to these funds, how would you get them? Freezing the accounts, at this time, is neither pro-protest or anti-protest. The government isn't seizing this money -- it's keeping it from being moved until somebody can figure out who even owns it.

Anyone reading this should realize that these "protests" have been completely beyond what's reasonable. They're fighting against sensible measures made to protect the population, and have made absolute idiots of themselves.

They don't have any respect from the average Canadian. They are an incredibly disruptive, sometimes violent group, with no respect for basic human decency. I know people who were forced out of their homes because you go crazy after that much continuous honking.

I don't have the slightest shred of pity for anyone involved in these "protests", or anyone who supported them. It's a disgrace that strong action wasn't taken more quickly.
I'm wondering if anybody have tried running own incoming servers while using some third party SMTP for sending. Haven't seen anybudy run that kind of setup yet, and I see no reason it shouldn't work.

I don't understand a lot of the almost violent levels of dislike towards WHM. Sure Wim is a very odd person and is very excited about this thing that has helped him in his life and he is now profiting off it. Does that not describe almost all of us when we discover something great and then also make money off it?

I believe, and this could be wrong but I have read a good bit of his stuff; the "WHM helps such and such problem", is mostly based off his students who have came and said that they felt better after practicing cold and breath techniques. Wim never claims to be a scientist, in fact many times when someone asks him a direct question he says something along the lines of, "I don't know, that is up to the scientist to discover", I am just here to guide.

One of the comments below talked about how Wim's friend had cancer, and then he said WHM helped him with his cancer, but then he died from cancer. This is such a moot and pointless comment to make. Doctors every single day help people with cancer and they still die. Does that mean the effort to help was worthless?

Should one not attempt any safe methods that are mostly harmless and have some known benefits when facing a terminally ill sickness? No one dying of cancer is going to be harmed by holding their breath and taking a few cold showers, if anything it probably brings some relief to the constant pain that is chemo and cancer treatments (speaking from experience).
This is not entirely true, because there's an infinitely long tail of obscure bugs. Somebody from Google observed that they mostly have really crazy bugs like "cores that don't count".
