Matrix is still kinda rough though. And there is no real lightweight homeserver implementation yet that I could find. Client situation is not much better.
Maybe I am not the target audience, but I just want a simple, lightweight and minimalist client. The only thing that comes close is gomuks and maybe the matrix-plugin for weechat (a irc client), but both are extremely buggy right now for me.
This blows my mind. How is it even possible to validate a model that incorporates 20B parameters? How do you even test something this complex and non-deterministic?

I assume some kind of infallible automated tooling is used to write tests that validate this monster. I would LOVE to see what that tooling looks like.
Use case would be a decentralized control of the federal reserve by the united states and or members of nato.
Yes, it's very hard to beat Postgres IMO. You can use Firebase without using its database, and you can certainly run a service with a Postgres database without having to rent out physical servers.
Any time someone is “adjusting” capitalism, the result tends to look a lot like communism.

Well, selling it to Zillow is probably a natural fit. Or some other realtor org, but you'd probably have to change the source of your data.
Or maybe multimodal models. If Google used YouTube as training data, they wouldn't run out of data in a while. Just feed it video once you run out of text.

I used to appreciate PHP, I just don't have a use for it anymore.
You can write good code without compile time type checking, but it requires so much more developer focus to avoid writing bugs than a language with type checking. Everything else, php’s “jankyness”, javascript’s mystifying truthyness tables, those are easily overcome
problems. Handing a string to a function expecting a number, and not finding out about it until that code actually runs? That’s the real problem, imo

Surprising that a bank is going in this direction but not surprising that it was Capital One. They have historically been pretty technology forward in comparison to other US banks. They are one of the only US banks that provide pretty pain-free APIs to the public.

We're not a very serious industry. Despite uhm, it pretty much running the world. We're a joke. Sometimes I feel it doesn't even earn the term "engineering" at all, and rather than improving, it seems to get ever worse.

Which really is a stunning accomplishment in a backdrop of spectacular hardware advances, ever more educated people, and other favorable ingredients.

It's certainly stable for now but it doesn't feel as stable as Google's, at least to me. The main FB product is in a slow decline and IG, though doing well, is under constant threat from the latest social media app du jour. The whole VR push could work out but right now it feels like a long shot and if I were working there I wouldn't be happy betting the farm on it. I mean the very fact that they are anticipating such a drastic pivot to their core business in the future should surely be a cause for some concern.
Snowflake, in my circles, means something that's outside of the patterns in use and doesn't scale. It's something that's inherently bad and you want as little of it as possible, preferably make it visible and obvious, and manage it outside of your regular repositories and pipelines. Keep bringing it up at retros and planning until it's either industrialised along with the other things you support, or you drop/refactor/hand over.

Terrible name for a product!
When you use a mutable data structure, and your code is concurrent, you'll force the CPU to put locks everywhere in your code so that several cores won't see stale data in their internal caches.

Even when you aren't writing concurrent code, mutability will prevent the CPU from using its internal concurrency to execute it faster.

Also, immutable data structures can include caches that are extremely simple whereas mutable data structure would face the problem if cache invalidation if they tried.

And a mutable data structure that would operate as if it's immutable? That's a nice recipe for an epic disaster.
I would assume consciousness/sentience requires significant feedback loops, so the "thought process" can "keep going". I don't think any of these models have real feedback loops.

To hopefully short-circuit a lot of pointless endlessly rehashed debate:

Things IRC is better at:

– being light weight (both server and clients)

– being an open standard

– horizontal scaling

– simplicity (talk to it over telnet if you want)

Things every other modern messaging solution is better at:

– name and channel management

– permissions that are more granular than ability to access a channel or not

– non-textual content (images/video/emoji)

– rich text (HTML/markdown/syntax highlighting/typefaces/fonts)

– one to one/many to many calls and meetings in a world with everyone behind a NAT and middleboxes

– file transfers

– screen sharing

– mobile connectivity

– threading

– message history/ability to receive messages while not online

– aesthetics and UX (most IRC clients resemble TUI apps)

– accurate presence (whether a given person is actually available or not, attempts to paper over missing IRC features with things like bouncers usually break this and the offered features are usually more granular than connected or not connected)

– extensibility (/commands and "chatops")

– abuse control and prevention

Things that do not matter to the world at large:

– That you personally are not a fan of the modern solutions and/or find them distracting

– That modern messaging solutions are centralized rather than distributed

– That a new IRC standard is on the way that addresses most of IRC's deficiencies… Two decades too late.

– Privacy policies and TOSes that allow platform owners to target ads at users or "sell their data"

– That a variety of clients for each service is not available

– The availability of and license to the source code for the
client and server

Reasons why (insert name of decentralized project) is unlikely to displace the centralized incumbents anytime soon:

– Their UX is worse or they are lacking a significant number of features

– Users don't want to run servers or deal with technical minutia, and the alternative requires these

– The problems this project solves are mostly on the list of things that do not matter to the world at large

Site analytics can of course grow without bound, but collecting so much site analytics you crash your site? Thats dum. Design your site so that it sheds load by not collecting so much analytics if that's a problem. And load test it before it's the most popular source of information on an international diplomatic incident.

I never quoted any estimates of disc size. I linked a server with a terabyte of RAM. Are you seriously suggesting they might have more than a terabyte of data on their users' subscriptions and on planes? Offline ETL jobs? Come on, be serious.

Redundancy? Yeah, you should have two big servers, not just one. 12 hours of FlightRadar24's revenues.

Yeah, unlimited traffic would be unlimited cost, but this is not unlimited traffic, this is US$27 of traffic that should have been US$1 of traffic. If this were 01999, or if a billion people had swarmed their site instead of less than a million, you would have a point.

>They buy a fully renovated house for $10 million but then gut it to renovate it to "their tastes" and then live in it for two weeks of the year. There's just not culture to tell them it's excessive.

I know of a billionaire (one of the ones most HNers consider evil) that had a lot of the local millionaires sneering at him when he didn't renovate the vacation house that he bought in the kind of place where those kinds of people buy vacation houses. According to the help at the yacht club his rational was that it wasn't worth his time to think about and there was no sense in paying someone to manage the process because from his POV there's no difference between vacationing in a house his contractor optioned out vs vacationing in one the last owner optioned out. That said, I think it may have been a "guest house" because upon Googling he has a much more extensive mansion in the area.

Can you recommend a zip code to try, I tried several in Northern Colorado and got "We did not get any results".

One way you could monetize would be to make deals with MLSes for integration into their services, either for realtors or for consumers. Can't tell how appropriate it would be for realtors, I assume it's more oriented towards consumers.

If there's some way to get to see Northern Colorado there, I can send it around to some POI in the local MLS and see what they think. Again, you might not be looking for MLS feedback.

Disclaimer: I run coloproperty.com and the MLS. :-)

yeah it needs to be stretched more.

huh? Node is a JavaScript runtime. Its the "base thing". Its "JavaScript", at least in the sense that we are talking about here. So saying "Node isn't included", doesn't really make sense.

When you install Node, you also get NPM, which is essentially what I said in the previous comment.
In my part of Google, we use TPM for "Technical Program Managers" instead of PgM.

In general a TPM at Level N will have the technical skills of a Level N-1 SWE. So many TPM's have a CS background, and a good TPM is an amazing partner/resource for a TL to have, especially for a large, complex project which spans multiple teams and multiple departments.

For my Hybrid SMR project, my TPM came out of a HDD vendor, and was very well versed in the technologies of HDD internals. At the same time, he could navigate all of the bureaucracy and process to get test racks ordered, populated with servers, and installed in data centers. He could also create the capital budget plan and get it submitted and approved through finance so I could concentrate on the technology. A good TPM is critical for the success of a large projects; I couldn't have done it without him.
We've done that (MSSQL Always on) and that's what keeps the lights on today. It's not, however, something that'll remain sustainable.
Tech companies have been doing this for the last 10 years or more and people didn't learn it yet.

They seduce you with a generous free tier that is so generous that you can even build production stuff for free.

They have only a few paid features in a cheap tier that you will probably need only when you app is big enough and making you money, so you don't see any problems and go all in.

A few years later, when the market have adopted the tool and the tool is the "go to" tool, almost the de facto standard... BOOM!

They change their pricing model and it gets really expansive, but the you have two alternatives, pay their price or change your app.

You usually pay their price because change your app is too expensive: you need to tell your boss to change the app and your boss needs to tell their boss to change the app; the boss of your boss will blame them and your boss will blame you.

NOBODY wants this happening.
DO NOT use a DHT-11 or DHT-22 sensor. Absolute garbage. Spring for the Bosch sensors.

As far as processing the raw data, I'm more interested right now in deciding if I should average which two of the thermometer or barometer readings I've got, and also deciding what to use as a high/low temp for the day - I've had some data dropouts and server crashes where I missed the noon/1pm high temp.

I did get GOES satellite data with a RTL-SDR once a couple of years ago. The antenna is more important than they'd lead you to believe, as is where the antenna is - you pick up a lot of fuzz up to some degrees above the horizon if you place the antenna in an urban setting.
Can't speak for Zillow, but some API endpoints don't allow you to cache results you obtain from them, license-wise.

Even excellent devs make security mistakes. That's why good teams build out processes like auditing, fuzzing, heuristics checkers, and require internal peer review.

This "you must be perfect" mentality is detrimental to building a security culture, IMO — no one is perfect, and the most excellent dev will slip up. Seeing the people involved in that commit, I believe that's what happened here.

Hoping we learn more in the post-mortem, and they revise their practices to catch this mistake in the future.
Didn't etrade and/or other frims do the same halting of GME because they couldn't cover the overnight options capital requirements?

Ultimately RH and others didn't have the ability to raise the crazy amount of capital they needed to cover trades over a very short time and instead of breaking these requirements and receiving the consequences (getting taken over by SIPC? or whatever, I don't actually know) they halted trading.

Failure to predict an unprecedented future, I suppose.

It's well known (and documented) that PTFE fumes from cooking can be deadly to birds. I don't think "the most nontoxic" is anywhere near accurate, approximately or not.

Its toxicity isn't well characterized, and isn't especially high, but you can generally assume that metal sulfides with access to water produce either hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, or both. In the case of tungsten disulfide it seems to be sulfuric acid, though the reaction is poorly characterized. Sulfate as such is pretty nontoxic (though it does cause diarrhea) but it doesn't take very much sulfuric acid to lower the pH to fatal levels.
It is literally my friend's only source of healthcare. Reading back, I should probably have said universal rather than public. It's the only thing like a universal system that we have.

> I also don’t know where you get “Python float is 24 bytes + 8-byte pointer for each item in the list”. Wat.

Not sure how many ways there are to reword that. A CPython float takes 24 bytes of memory, and storing them in a list means 8 bytes per item for the pointer. So in CPython, a list of n floats takes 32n bytes of memory.

>>> sys.getsizeof(1.0)
24
>>> l = list(map(float, range(62_500_000))) # memory use goes up by >2 GB
>>> del l # memory use goes down by >2 GB

(no need to go straight to NumPy to avoid this when relevant, though – array.array is built in.)
This is where you need to see the glass half full.

Obviously, serious mental health issues are not restricted to a fixed day per year. Yet the company did give some relief, which they also could not have done at all. There's a real world cost to giving you that day, and in my view, money talks.

There are different types of CEO’s: founders and non-founders. Founders make their money when their product gets used by millions of people. Is that worth 670x? Ultimately it’s worth whatever people will pay for it, so when you judge a founder you’re really judging the millions of people who parted with their money. I’d argue those millions of people are more “correct” than deciding an arbitrary number like 670x is too high.

The other type of CEO is one who joins after founding. Their compensation depends on providing tangible measurable growth for the company. Driving 5% additional revenue for a company like google is worth billions, so their pay is considerate with the value they provide. It’s been shown in research that a good CEO can make or break a company.

You say you deliver tons of value but you don’t explain why your pay is high as a technical worker. It’s high because the market is tight and there aren’t enough skilled technical workers. There’s plenty of other industries like biotech where they deliver significant value but don’t get paid as much as software. Same goes for CEO’s it’s an important position and there aren’t that many people that can do the job.
If you look at actual reforestation projects in the actual world, putting a seedling in the soil with a mesh fence is about 5% of the effort.

Irrigation is about 95%.
Well sure, a new upstart brokerage doesn't have the spare capital when new collateral requirements are imposed with little warning. Otoh, they were able to get access to more capital in a couple days, so from a business continuity perspective it was fine. They still missed out on a couple days of trading though.

I've never done business with Robinhood, but they never seemed to be a quality brokerage. I seem to recall they didn't support limit orders for some time (but I could be misremembering). I do thank them for their work in reducing retail comissions to zero though.
> It's literally not possible for this to be true.

The most obvious operation that's much faster for an immutable data structure is cloning.

Cloning, say, an array in a mutable system takes O(n) time. Cloning in an immutable system is just returning the pointer (or whatever pointer + length struct you're using to represent an array).
