In many cases the Democrats are right. At the national level, the Democrats have won the popular vote for president 7 out of the 8 last elections. At the state level, states are being gerrymandered in favor of Republicans but Democrats just win on the merits.
Perhaps not unpopular opinion. :-)
The problem with nccl is it reports combined bandwidth: nvlink (intranode) and network. I want to see the network traffic, for example to identify a network link bottleneck when changing model or pipeline parallelism configuration.

p.s. if you solve this I’ll become a paying customer.
Which category? Adobe is not even close to being the leader in the CMS category. WP, Wix, Squarespace, Joomla!, Shopify… how does Adobe fit here?
Maybe adapting to internationalized (American at this point) English.

Also, what they say is what I’ve heard anecdotally several times and it makes sense when comparing even retail prices vs per drink prices.
I too love B&W, and have shot substantially in digital.

If you are going for the Adams aesthetic, you want dynamic range and resolution.

If you want street photography style, anything on the market will do.

If it's really a B&W first purchase, check the camera has a B&W mode so your previews immediately show in B&W, and be triple-sure areas with maximum tones (blown whites, lost tone in pure black) is easily visible.

Because tones are usually pushed in classic B&W, the ability to preview against custom tone adjustment profiles but also store RAW would be ideal. Every camera has dual JPG/RAW since ~2010, but the profiles may be substantially different in software both in terms of config and UX.
Sadly I don't think anyone makes the 100MHz comparator pairs that would be needed for this.

A differential input is a comparator, in a sense, and an FPGA has plenty of those that are useful to 100 MHz+. A trimpot might be used to scale the voltage threshold as needed.
I watched that 'indistinguishable from magic' video and that is indeed the only appropriate way to describe it, and if our base tech would not improve from this point forward I'd say that is a job well done.

But I also have a soft spot for the GA144, which represents the other extreme, it's what one man can do versus what a whole team of talented engineers can do.
A few companies are trying this… would be great to see a demo or at least screenshots to explain how your approach is unique.
Did anyone promise the equality of influence of people in different states on the Senate? The country is called United States, not a Union of California and the Northeast.

I did this strategy and the kids basically were fighting for the first 4 years. With a third child, they actually learned to play together.

Our situation seems to be a little rare though. Most other kids seem to play together well (including me and my sister). It's just our oldest two having incompatible personalities.

But if you can afford it, I'd still recommend getting most of the kids at a younger age. Besides the biological/medical issues of having kids at an older age, you'll also have more time for yourself in your 40s.
You could look for academic conferences in your area of interest and see what people are working on [1]. It is not necessary to have particular degree for submitting your work to a conference. Since most review processes are double-blind no one would know at submission time anyways. Though, knowing the process and how a "typical" paper looks like, on which people in academia have an advantage, certainly helps a lot.

Interesting, I've always been told than margin was in alcohol (esp. in high end restaurants).
This sounds like projects struggling because they chose to go with k8s when the team lacked k8s expertise.

Honestly I feel like the original blog post shouldn't be talking about k8s at all. The real lesson, as far as I can tell, is just "when you're starting out, choose simple tech that you already know how to use."

If you already know how to use Kubernetes, then feel free to use it. If not then don't.

We've had more than ten years of crypto/blockchain history already. We don't need more time to tell -- we have many years of it already being awful. History is already telling us.
> Who the rural folks in Georgia keep voting for? In record numbers?

It’s an error to assume that “big business” is a homogenous undifferentiated entity. A central source of conflict in nations has always been that different regions of the country have different economic interests. The recent alignment of Wall Street and Silicon Valley with the Democratic Party reflects the fact that the knowledge economy and globalism, combined with mass immigration, benefits NYC and SF at the expense of the south and Midwest. Folks in rural Georgia correctly perceive that these economic trends are contrary to their interests and vote against them.

> However, yes, these rural folks ARE the ones standing in front of abortion clinics and assaulting people and shooting doctors. They ARE the ones who drove up to Washinton, DC, to take part in an insurrection. etc.

It’s remarkable how the elite have convinced themselves that they aren’t the elite. You’re a FAANG engineer or Wall Streeter making half a million dollars a year? Simply by declaring your support for vaguely defined marginalized groups (in a way that doesn’t actually cost you anything, of course) you can transform yourself into the victim and some rioting rednecks into the real threat. The folks who were never cut out for college and whose jobs have been exported to China? They’re actually muggers holding a knife to the throat of good people in Silicon Valley and Wall Street who are “doing good while doing well.”
If the wages are not rising, then the organization sees no replacement as better than a more expensive replacement.

It's just price capping leading to scarcity.
Best summer city in the world, in my not so humble opinion on the matter.

It doesn't look like it anymore, but the print OED is still 2nd edition, which was published in 1989.

The 3rd edition is entirely online.

And they publish full books of additions every few years, but it doesn't look ike there have been any for a while.

Oh, I understood - I've been a professional programmer for close to 30 years, and I've done a lot of operating systems work.

On this platform you have the burden of ensuring that the C runtime is thread safe, or putting locks around it. The same with BIOS calls. And DOS function calls too; you can't have those other CPU cores just blundering in on something that is not reentrant.

And besides, I target this at 16 bit DOS on vintage machines. I've never seen a PCjr or an AT class machine with multiple cores. There were some super expensive 386s at the time that were multi-processors, but those are a fairly rare item.
This is very cool. Looking at the example, this seems highly applicable to rote learning.

I might mess with this on the weekend. I think the sciences would appreciate this tool.
How do you use it?

I don't understand who this is supposed to target. It's very general, without a specific problem it solves that otherwise already isn't solved.

It kind of looks like you're going after Discord's market, but I don't really see what the differentiator is.

You're going after the collaboration and communication market. Like social media, it's a major uplift to get people on your platform.

Find a draw card. "dethroning" isn't it.
Awesome, glad to hear that :) So, for Rust vs Go, honestly I had kinda wanted to learn Rust for a while and have only read a little bit of Go, and – this is going to sound incredibly silly, but I'm not a big fan of some of the syntax and conventions from Go.

For Recut, the choice was more between (a) coupling Rust with a web-based cross-platform framework like Electron or Tauri or (b) using C++ and Qt. I guess option (c) would be to write and maintain two versions of the app, one in Swift and the other in something Windows-specific, but as a solo developer I ruled that out pretty quickly.

So - Rust vs. C++ - and would the Rust + JS be fast enough? I did some experiments to test out some of the things I was worried about, like rendering video frames, and sending data between the UI and Rust.

I've had experience with C++ and Qt in the past, so that was a decent option. But I didn't love the idea of getting back into C++ and fighting with the inevitable hard-to-find crashes and race conditions and stuff. And, from building v1 of Recut in Swift, I came to really enjoy some of Swift's safety, too - like guard clauses that rule out null-pointer-related crashes. Rust seemed similar in those aspects.

Given how it turned out, I would definitely choose Rust again. I think it might've been wise to try to learn more about the language and tackle some smaller toy problems first, instead of trying to learn it while writing the app. I didn't do much exploratory hacking, and ended up rewriting whole swaths of the video pipeline stuff multiple times. Like at least 5 times. But maybe that was the best way to actually learn it, too. I don't really know if I would've picked up the intuition for some of the patterns if I hadn't had to fight my way through it. So maybe there's some survivorship bias here haha.
What are you talking about?

The establishment and mainstream media led by Hillary Clinton pushed the completely fabricated “Russian Interference” narrative that included the fake Steel Dossier, an FBI investigation, and undermined Trump’s Presidency as illegitimate for the entire 4 years!

Now we have people calling the Conservative members of the Supreme Court illegitimate as well because they disagree with the Dobbs ruling.

I’m just not seeing evidence of a widespread Conservative bias, and plenty of evidence of widespread Liberal bias.
Complete fail on my part. No hallucinations or visions of any kind. I just saw a simple flash that appeared greenish (I would have thought it would rather be in the reds...?)

The music is repetitive and rather upsetting; the tone of the speakers annoying.

I don't think one is possible, to be honest, because the circles of the venn diagram simply dont intersect:

- organic pipeline of talent. Typically a university or two within commuting range. Generally needs a city. Hence, SF/SJ, but potentially also Paris, London, Berlin etc.

- access to capital at all stages of life. Its not enough to seed or do class A, you need investors and ppl who understand the game for a decade or more. Maybe London. Maybe Berlin. Pre-crackdown HK perhaps. Definitely SV.

- Tolerance for failure, pivot to new opps, etc. I cant think of any Euro investing community that is as tolerant as the US.

- a large, culturally unified market on your doorstep. Frankly this is the US, China and India and absolutely not the EU/UK. The Single Market is intellectually unified but not culturally unified. X in Greece will never be like X in Germany.

I'd love to see a multi polar SV universe, but I just cant see it happening anytime soon. I can see alternatives to SV in the US, such as Seattle and NYC, but we are not quite there yet and SV had unique advantages in its early years (1965 to 1975) that would be very hard to replicate now.

↑ This paper seems to be studying the same data and has it’s own take on the results.

Conclusions go in the same direction, but at least we have more info on how they look at it and their comments on the methodology and findings.
Having lived in both areas, small towns make people crazy. Everyone spends so much time trying to fit in. Look at how I go to Church with the community every weekend. Look at how I partake in gossip and publicly shaming freaks. There are severe consequences to even harmless behavior that's abnormal because people don't have enough going on in their lives when there aren't more than 10 other suckers that are smart enough to move out of a toxic area.

I don't think we've evolved to live in small groups.
It's OK - I saw it reach 1776 and toasted to it!
Agree with this, I happened to get to experience this today again as well.

The transitions really seem to take their time. Combined with the number of "pages" you need to get through as well, makes it an experience that feels a bit slow.

I get the sense that these visual page transitions are becoming quite a thing, also with modern self checkout counters in supermarkets.

But who knows, perhaps they are trying to hide some kind of background loading action.
There isn’t a financial incentive to solve it. There is one to treat it. Insulin, blood pressure meds, statins for cholesterol, cardiac stints are all big business.
SEEKING WORK | NYC / Greenwich | REMOTE

20 years' experience, primarily data engineering, database optimization, and eng management at early/growth-stage startups (several exits). Previous experience in big finance, insurtech, fitness, search, healthcare.

I enjoy

- hands-on development

- tuning & replicating your databases

- training & mentoring

- supporting or leading strategic recruiting / hiring initiatives

- providing technical and strategic advice

- coordinating large initiatives across teams / orgs

These days I most frequently reach for Python, SQL (especially Postgres), and AWS. I'm also comfortable working in Go, Java, and Scala; have experience with a wide variety of databases, such as Redshift, Dynamo, Cassandra, Solr/Lucene/Elasticsearch, and Redis; and have experience with many common tools in the modern data ecosystem, such as Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Fivetran, and ZeroMQ.

I often share large projects (or those requiring expertise beyond my own) with a small group of data scientists, business intelligence analysts, engineers (frontend, backend, mobile), and quants I have met or hired at full-time positions over the last 15 years. I'm glad to coordinate projects involving multiple folks, should you require that.

As a group, we have dozens of years of experience with:

- JavaScript, TypeScript, React, React Native, Angular

- the scientific Python stack

- Looker, Tableau

- distributed systems

- AWS, GCP, Azure

Please contact me to see if we're the right match:

I mean, it's always a tradeoff, whatever you do. Whenever anybody offers anything, they don't do it unlimited, for free and no strings attached, so over time, no matter what they offer, the limits, the price or the terms will become a liability. Often it changes over time: what didn't matter back then, matters now.

Also, these companies are getting a hell of a deal now. Now that they are so successful that you know them by heart. And only maybe are they getting that deal, YouTube for one bled money like there's no tomorrow for a very long time, maybe even know.

Creators, and people in general need to do realize that there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. And assess and manage their risk.
The point of the law is that you don't have to call. If you signed up online, you can cancel online, without talking to anyone.

California has a similar law, and it's saved me a lot of time and stress over the last few years.

By the way, you are free to demand that all companies use your custom online form when they need payment from you - as long as you get them to agree to it in advance. However, I doubt if many companies would do business with you unless you were paying them a lot of money.
Well dammit, now I'm the a*hole. ;)
Eventually, policies like these lead to “don’t hire employees in France”. At which point, no French employees are even bothered by employers on their free time again...
When an asset class increases in value for a long enough period of time there is no shortage of explanations for why it's different this time. Real estate, commodities, tech companies, it makes no difference, It's always the same.

I am talking about the demoscene here.
I am using a more generalized definition of tribe, to mean any group you belong or you categorize others to belong to. For example, my first priority tribe is my kids. Second priority tribe is probably kids and spouse. Then kids, spouse and myself. Then my siblings, and parents, and then maybe friends/extended family/members of my parents’ immigrant diaspora/my college class/neighbors/political allies/business partners/countrymen/etc.
The top 10 sellers should be available with one click/tap. Would they need to license that from Amazon? Then do it. THey can afford it.

Big Mac, fries, and Coke should take me no longer to order on the screen than to say it verbally.
How do you download AMIs of Redis, Postgres, etc? Are you building this all by hand?
Why is this argument never in the other direction? There’s just not enough money to make people into millionaires and billionaires. It’s always trouncing on the lower classes.

Am I going crazy or are we collectively witnessing the birth of a neo feudal class? I wasn’t around during the aftermath of WW2 but people believed in democracy and liberal values without stuffing the coffers of the rich right?

Hi there!

Because I want to make my own version of discord/slack/guilded, except not server based, but call based. Gotta start somewhere :)

Any specifics about the drugs involved and availability in the EU for patients willing to try the treatment on themselves?
My girlfriend works as a psycho-oncologist; she's in contact with terminal patients on a daily basis.
Something I've learned is that most people are only really good (that is, good enough to contribute notably and distinguish themselves) at one thing. A few of us are good at two things, but even there, those two things tend to be related more closely than it seems at first. This is part of why our society has such horrible leadership, especially in the private sector. People who are good at climbing bureaucratic hierarchies, most typically, are not good at anything else: not very smart, not very ethical, etc.

Academia was supposed to protect people from having to do the things they're bad at--such as sell their ideas to people who lack the ability to deeply understand them--and, unfortunately, it went derelict in that duty a long time ago. Salesmen, in any field other than sales, are like an invasive species who outcompete the natives with their superior social polish, but who struggle to actually do anything, which leads to systemic underperformance and the erosion of trust, which only makes the competitive necessity of salesmanship even greater, setting in motion a death spiral from which a private entity (or, in the long term, an entire industry) almost never recovers.
>I don't think it's unreasonable to expect other people to have do not disturb on / notifications off whenever they don't want to be disturbed.

This makes sense in a world where vendors have perfected notifications. IMO, notifications are still a cluster^*&k. This is why they are still very much a moving target for ios.

Waiting 45 minutes for food at a "fast food" restaurant? You're doing something very, very wrong.
The PRUs were really hard to use. I think if they had invested in dev tools with a shallow learning curve, like Arduino support for the PRUs, they might have gained critical mass.

The Beaglebone Black was pretty nice compared to contemporary Pi's for embedded work: way more GPIO pins, with female headers rather than male (lower chance of accidental short circuits; easier to just jam components or wires in there like it's a breadboard.)
very useful, thanks for sharing!

I ended up configuring the shortcut to use the location field rather than title field. So at least my calendar won't look odd.

Still works as expected. I wasn't entirely sure how to format the text field so it would pick up the phone numbers (in case of group messages). So I just went with my gut and used a space separator for each distinct number and typed the fully qualified number (ie, +1YYYXXXZZZZ)
> you have the responsibility to participate in keeping the fraudulent and incompetent out of your democracy.

As a person who lived through the Zimbabwe crash, this right here was the problem. People voted to throw out the tyrant and he "found the votes he needed." This economy is reeling from all the money that the previous administration printed (which was precisely what started the snowball in Zimbabwe).

What is lost to the crypto crowd is that sometimes "what is good for me" is not always "what is good for us." Voting yourself more money is very good way to contribute to a collapse (as Charles Munger points out[1]). This seems lost to the generally active votebase, too.

This is just ignoring basic math. As it is right now, it's drastically easier to win a national election with far fewer voters in the most populous states than it is to win a direct election - and in each of those populous states, with the electoral college you only need to win a plurality, meaning you can ignore up to half the state.

Consider it another way - to win the electoral college, you only need to win the 10 most populous states with a plurality. To win the popular vote, you still need to win basically the exact same set of 10 states but now you would need to win every vote in them (which is functionally impossible).

We also have to agree that even with the EC candidates don't care about the majority of the country. Any voter in a state that goes consistently opposite to them is made completely irrelevant, with no point to trying to reach out to them. If the EC was gone suddenly all those voters actually get a voice.
