And why should your algorithm be the benchmark for supercomputer performance, rather than something that is at least somewhat related [1] to the workloads those machines run?

[1] We can of course argue endlessly that HPL is no longer a very representative benchmark for supercomputer workloads, but I digress.

Stressing cannabis plants for potency and flavor has a long history; combine that with designed disease and the results might be interesting. Wonder what'll happen to other plants when dosed with this.
Similar story for me, started programming at 12, I'm 44 now, never had a win. So I'm not one to listen to for advice on success, but, I feel that studying what NOT to do can be just as valuable. Here are some insights that I find helpful:

- The industry is designed so that one guy wins and gets rich and the other 99% lose. Go into battle knowing you will lose, and create a different kind of success for those around you and humanity at large. (Borrowed from Fight Club).

- This is not forever. You'll be paid to solve problems at the bleeding edge of technology, which means that you're solving something that corporations have likely already solved, which isn't opened sourced yet, that someone will open source the year after you build it. (Try anyway, be kind anyway, love anyway).

- The universe will support you in any mode you choose to live in. This one took me a really long time to figure out - well into the pandemic. There's nobody at the wheel above you, you're in control. Or to rephrase, any external definition of God is incomplete until you reconnect with your own personal divinity. So someday we all have to learn to let go and give the universe a chance to help. That's the only way to level up that I've found, and the only explanation other than sheer greed that aligns with how people build wealth beyond their personal contribution. (Applies to all wealthy people).

Expanding on that last point: being on call was the main thing that triggered my burnout in 2019. It's something I won't do again, because I've experienced how it's not rewarded. In other words, me overextending myself made my situation worse. Cognitive dissonance is our subconscious (body's) way of alerting us that something is wrong so that we can try opposite approaches. Those messages only come in simple forms. If you're tired, rest. If you're lonely, go out and talk to people so you can go on a date. If you're not paid well, set a boundary on yourself to work 40 hours or less so that you and your boss can discover who isn't pulling their weight. If you can't do any of these things, then you don't have a job, you have a commitment to something. Align with that and peace will follow.
The scoops are handed to them by informants probably. No skill needed on their part.
4 tons.

5 tons would definitely be pushing it on LRA/running amps for this size generator. But, this ultimately depends on the age & vendor of the compressor. Newer multi-stage or inverter compressor designs are much more likely to play well.
The Supercharger network is a selling point as well. Much of the US is well covered. The chargers seem more robust than competitor's set-ups (which are often broken when you arrive).

Trying to charge a non-Tesla during a trip can be a bit of a crap-shoot. Will the station be available? Will it be functional? Do I need to create yet another new account on yet another new app to access it?

This won't last. But until the competition makes their charging network better, it's a selling point for many buyers.
Water cooling rigs aren't literally inaudible, either. They still have a pump and fans for the radiator.

I'm talking about noise performance that is "more than good enough for most people."

The price to dB reduction ratio of most water cooling setups, whether it's a cheap AIO or full blown custom loop, just doesn't make any sense when compared to air. These are seriously diminishing returns on investment.

The reason people install custom loops is because they look cool, that's 80% of it. It's a hot rodding culture, and that can be fun and appreciated for what it is. But if all you want is a system that's quiet enough for the game audio on a relatively low volume to drown out the sound of the PC, air is all you need.

There are tools that help with visualising requests between services, provided the information is augmented with some extra observability data.

Most APM/distributed tracing products have ways of visualising distributed traces so we can see starting from a specific call which services were involved and how much time is spent in important operations (e.g. db, etc). Here's an example: https://www.datadoghq.com/product/apm/#end-to-end-tracing

Datadog builds this service map automatically for you from APM and RUM data: https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/visualization/services_ma...

AFAIK you can consume the data via API so you can build other visualisations on top of it if you don't want to stick with the flame chart or service map.

Since this is runtime information it won't be as comprehensive as static code analysis but it does show what's actually happening in the system.

I think Tesla still has a leg up on range. I looked into buying an F150 but the range is just a bit low for me. The Lightning has a purported EPA range of 320 miles which if you subtract off the top 10% and bottom 10% means it really has 250 miles of usable range at EPA standards which would probably drop it to 150-180 if you're driving it at highway speeds with a load. It's just a bit too low for me if I'm going to take this thing camping or hauling a trailer for a boat.

That said, I think 150-180 miles is plenty of range for people who would just drive this thing to work and back.
Also, while NVidia has been adding extra AI acceleration to their chips AMD has been throwing in extra double precision resources that HPC generally requires. If you're training an AI rather than simulating the climate/a thermonuclear explosion/etc then you're probably better off using NVidia cards but AMD made the right technical investments to get these supercomputer contracts.
I ended up getting so tired of the CYBERTRUCK wait that I cancelled my deposit and ordered a Rivian. No doubt even though the wait is still long for me, I see them on the road regularly now and strongly suspect I’ll have one in hand long before the first CYBERTRUCK delivers to anyone.
Same. I think my skills may have regressed because they were working with legacy tech. I did get to go to a ton of zoom meetings, though.
Yes, I do consider the child tax credit buying votes and I likewise consider farm subsidies vote buying as well. This situation, in particular, seems egregious because of the amount being proposed - $10,000 - and because the executive branch is planning to do it unilaterally. I would still disagree with the measure, but I wouldn't feel as strongly if this happened a result of a vote from Congress.
it's illegal to ask about or discriminate on medical conditions though, unless there's a strong, concrete reason to ask - e.g. you don't have to hire someone with uncontrolled epilepsy to be a bus driver, but you can't refuse to hire a receptionist because her lupus might make her call in sick occasionally.

I'm terrified of all this, since I started using a wheelchair. a friend told me she did 10 interviews with no offers, when they were in person, but got a great offer when she interviewed on Zoom. my current job values me a lot, but do I stay there forever? what if I try to switch jobs and nobody wants to hire the cripple?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not questioning the business model, I know trucks are popular and I'm sure they'll sell hundreds of thousands. What I mean is that for me this type of news is a silver lining around a massive dark cloud of people driving full speed into the climate catastrophe. Yey, an electric vehicle... that's a 3 ton truck that 99% of buyers don't actually need.

Why do you think this is about ethnicity? The more plausible interpretation is that some scientists are considered (in this article) as German because they come from German universities, while the locals are supported by the Kurdish government/organizations, as explained in the article.

I don't have an opinion either way, but if you're going to disagree with the article, please at least make it explicit (and provide reasoning if possible).

In fact, the article addresses this with:

> It is located at Kemune in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

... and:

... and:

The F-150 is the best selling vehicle in the United States.

They almost quadrupled output from 40,000 to 150,000 because of demand.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/04/25/ford-f-150-lightning-ele...

Getting US consumers to want EV’s in large numbers is the real problem. Sounds like Ford is getting people excited. I’m sure they’ll be ready to double output as needed.
I see a lot of misplaced hate thrown at garbage collection without warrant. Some things don't make sense to use GC for (for example, allocators or garbage collectors themselves), but modern GC is as fast if not faster than manual memory management at scale. The performance issues often attributed to GC often come from more obvious issues, like dynamic dispatch, boxing/unboxing of values, and dynamic typing.

It's just somewhat rare to see statically typed languages with modern concurrent GC. Go is one example, and Go is remarkably fast. Meanwhile Java has been running on more resource constrained systems for 30 years than Rust can target today, for example.

Thanks. But even at $80k it’s a no brainer. The hybrid solution I vetoed came in at $130k!

EDIT: To expand on that, only about $40k was batteries. After an initial period would fall back to (large) generator and only certain areas of house powered. I’d have to check the math, but an E F150 with a much smaller generator would be both cheaper and power the whole house indefinitely.
Most consumer vehicles in the USA are already right around 2 tons unloaded. Even small pickup trucks have GVWR of 3 tons (my Chevrolet Colorado which is a mid-sized truck has a 6000 lb GVWR). A 3 ton vehicle is not THAT big, here.

If you actually use a pickup truck to do pickup truck things more than a few times per month, it's not cost effective to own a different vehicle.
Correct, added an edit.

Yeah, the supercharger network is years ahead. I wish EA would do something similar to the tesla chargers where it would automatically bill your account. I love not having to use a CC or scan a fob.
e-vans are not there yet unfortunately. deliveries is a huge issue because of supply chain issues but also price point / load capacity / mileage is a big issue ...

I really hope in 3 years we have competitive e-vans so that we leave diesel vans behind
If I interpret this correctly[0], their patents have no competitive value?

It just feels like we're at an inflection point where Tesla's production will soon be dwarfed by competitors and consumers having the choice of dozens of EVs vs a handful is going to drastically shift the market.

I did a pretty deep analysis of this problem a while back here in case you're interested: https://mindbowling.wordpress.com/2020/09/14/two-envelope-pa...
You could ask the same questions about virtually every vehicle on the road. A model x weighs in at slightly over 2.5 tons. A model y is about 2.25 tons.
From how I see it used, here and elsewhere, "10x" now just means "really good". As with so many terms, this one got recast to be whatever people assumed it meant without looking into it. Whatever (thin) science was behind it in the first place got abandoned in favor of something more poetical and less factual. This is how language seems to work in general: we stand on a pile of misinterpretations. But with terms that originated in the context of a specific usage in research, it can be frustrating.
If your state has a loser-pays law then the clause likely isn't enforceable. They probably know this and have a severability clause as well ("if any one clause isn't enforceable, the others remain in effect") and just leave it in to try and scare people into not bringing a lawyer. Of course, that's assuming that your state does actually have a law that makes this clause unenforceable.
This doesn't even sort of make sense. Twitter was in the news and this wasn't because Twitter is actually a bigger story: you're right that most journalists live on Twitter, so, its policies have massive influence on the national discourse as a whole. Ford releasing a very expensive truck to the few people who want and can afford very expensive trucks is a niche story.

I have been hacking my body's chemistry for over 5 years. Here is what I've learned.
Is that new? I've seen 20+ percent in dispensaries for years.

(Only in USA, in AMS the dispensaries would share the name of the strain, maybe how much weed went into an edible, but precise information even on just "THC percent" was not given.

OTOH they were EXTREMELY nice, and gave me some basic heuristics.

Ex: apparently more than a half gram in a joint for one person is extremely unusual, putting aside specifics.

Also I think it's a false meme that folks use tobacco and weed together, sine in many jurisdictions such as PA they haven't rewritten laws on paraphenalia properly... see here:

You could have legal weed but be hit with a misdemeanor is you use a pipe to consume less and get the same effect.

That's not how you do thing if you want people to make healthy decisions, it's how you do things if you're using the governent as an extension of your cartel to extract money from the poor.

Running long has a fascinating effect of getting people to talk about things that they normally wouldn't, in my experience.

I have a close friend that I've known since we started graduate school 20 years ago. For 4 months we trained for a marathon together, and the majority of my understanding of his deeper thoughts comes from those hours in that short period of time. In fact, I'll claim that anyone I go on regular long runs with will be someone I end up having a far deeper relationship with overall.
"It's aiming to make 600,000 EV's per year by the end of 2023" means that they plan on making 600,000 EV's per year in 2024.

And that's the measure that matters. A truck isn't available unless you can buy it, and given the number of pre-orders that both Cybertruck and F-150 have, unless you already have a reservation you won't be able to buy either truck until annual production reaches the 500,000/yr mark or so. And it looks like both Tesla and Ford will reach that rate at about the same time, so the race is on. Hopefully Ford has secured enough batteries to reach that level, because that's likely going to be the limiting factor.

> I don’t need any of this shit. I want to learn, do research and make new connections

You're running into the fact that universities aren't set up for adults, and what you're buying isn't really what they're selling. The activities that actually fund the learning is the undergrad college experience and grant money. If you want to join a PhD program and do research you'll find lots of resources, connections, and access to people in the field, and if you want to party, go to football games, and learn some stuff along the way there's plenty of resources for that too.
Sounds somewhat plausible, yes, but i don't buy it. Math used to be absurdly secretive too, but changed to everyone's benefit. I blame the financial profit to be had with exclusive knowledge of a reaction and it's workup.
I remember talking to a friend who was doing a PhD in microbiology (implementing NAND gates in bacterial DNA) and she said reproducibility in chemistry/biology is a major pain. They couldn’t even reliably reproduce experiments within the same lab.

You’d have one postdoc do the pipetting and the experiment worked. Another person tried, following the same procedures with the same equipment in the same room at the same time of day in the same environment … experiment failed.

My takeaway was that a lot of this bio stuff is inherently flakey and/or poorly understood. We kinda mostly know what’s going but it’s really lots of trial and error and chasing statistical variations/effects. Best you can do is “it works N% of the time”
Good catch, I wish he mentioned that explicitly but I guess I could have inferred it from the screenshot
Indeed as you and another commenter pointed out correctly, it is not the whole picture, and given an intelligent, evil design one could possibly create a disease that spreads fast and kills only much later (by let’s say, causing cancer). But fortunately we are not inside Plague Inc.

But if I am not mistaken, from a strictly evolutionary perspective there is no pressure towards such a disease — a genetic variation that is more deadly won’t dominate over its less deadly variant and thus deadliness could be a variable that only changes randomly from the initial level (and decreasing if it is actively detrimental to spreading, where I would say that in case of a human population deadliness does correspond with fear).

But IANAE, nor a mathematician.

This attitude in tech is honestly exhausting. It reminds me of that fake Tech Crunch Disrupt scene in the first season of Silicon Valley. The sooner you kind of give up on this and have fun with the problems you have the easier it is to enjoy your work, imho.
Interesting case, but some of these are more like suicides (intentional or otherwise), and I think we were talking about one organism killing another. But still, you're correct, some significant portion of these must be one human killed by the actions of another.
I've seen these before and every single time, it's mostly based on a misunderstanding of certain language features that only a beginner coder would do (for example, not knowing that Python does not do block-level variable scoping, so loop variables leak) or an abuse of an implementation detail (for example, integers under 255 being singletons).

"is" is not the same as "==". Confusing the two is a rookie mistake, yet is treated like a "gotcha".
I see where you're coming from and surely understand your point.

It's good that you are able to tell some of these things apart. Now think how did you get to this point, likely by being exposed to various views so that's a good thing and should be encouraged. Especially with some of the more polarizing matters, one should be aware of other views.

One cannot develop a sense of things by living in a bubble, in fact I'd argue that the society is seemingly more polarized because of these bubbles, the general avoidance to be exposed to opposing views and consider the reasonings objectively but that's a discussion for another place and time :)
Asking for Tools that can solve onboarding issues
Hey guys,
I was just wondering, if you guys face the same problem, or am I the only one with this problem.
Basically, I find myself very difficult to get on-boarded or to on-board a new dev in a project. There are many challenges in it, like setting up multiple accounts for various tools around, like, a tool for
- documenting business logic
- API collection
- db design
- UI designs
- store some important files, etc.
I've read this somewhere as well as I feel the same that, on-boarding takes almost 53% of a developers time.
I wanted to just...share the pain and start a discussion around the same (it can be a rant too )
Also, is there any tool which can solve this problem of ours?
What are the most painful problems in the world, in your opinion? I think many users feel similarly to you, but the topics aren't brought up enough to generate conversation.
