Nice! I live in the Bay Area and been to Tahoe a bunch of times, though never to the Nevada side. I didn’t know anything about the Comstock Lode besides the name. It’s an amazing story. But is Virginia City just sitting on top of a massive empty mine to this day??

Twain’s descriptions of how empty Tahoe was then are pretty incredible to imagine. He guessed that they may have been the only people camping on the lake at the time.

The part where he accidentally starts a raging forest fire that spreads over the mountains is much less humorous today, I have to admit. Hopefully it was one of the times he was exaggerating for effect.
Some form of tree-shaking type of thing would probably be quite handy for images, but yeah I'm a bit wary here as well. First thought would be what happens when it hits Out-of-Memory, DNS timeout, or loses network connectivity or another edge case that totally happens in Production.

Removing those code paths would not be a good thing, but I guess if you build your apps right you could just have your container orchestration system recover by replacing the Pod.

> (although they're trying size ranges like [256, 512, 1024] as opposed to turning batching off entirely)

> The issue isn’t batch size as a parameter but rather needing to load the entire dataset into memory

what's stored in memory is an implementation detail. the key idea is that the tree algorithms are choosing an optimal based on the entire dataset, where sgd is working on small randomly chosen batches. turning off batching means computing gradients on the entire dataset instead.

although the typical bottleneck in gpu computing is moving data to and from the gpu's workarea (which is probably why you mention memory), there is nothing theoretical that says these computations could not be implemented in a streaming manner.
Isn't this a satire?
But you can't do interaction between the two ends of a HTTP request. The caller makes an inert request, whatever processing happens downstream of that might as well be offline because it's not and can never be interactive within a single transaction.
I know I am. The catch is that I have to do at least a little bit of this if I want to not be homeless. I've settled on the Things app with something that looks vaguely like GTD if you squint:

- I have an inbox. Everything I agree to do that I can't do in the next couple of minutes goes in there. "Buy dogfood". "Paint the house". "Do a thing for work". Everything.

- I triage the inbox and put starting dates on everything I can't do right now (like "buy a Christmas ornament") so that they'll show up on my daily to-do list when the time comes.

- I review everything weekly, add stuff I've forgotten, and delete things I've finished or abandoned.

And that's about it. Thing is, without this system, I can't and won't remember to do any of the things I need to. It doesn't matter how important it is to me to make sure I buy an anniversary card for my wife: I'll forget until it's too late. The above is how I walk the line between "letting my life fall apart due to disorganization and forgetfulness" and "wasting time optimizing a fancy process".
> 1. Elon: "Twitter has too many spambots, I'm going to buy it to fix their spambot problem!"

It's a perfect example of how people are brainwashed to accept degradation of their basic speech and due process rights because powers that be found an example (a scapegoat, really) that's not sympathetic to the public.

I recall the debates around banning Jones from YouTube. It was "sold" as an unprecedented step to combat unprecedented violation of basic decency. And here were are a few years later, when simply mentioning some wrongthink words automatically demonetizes your videos, splatters them with warnings and even cuts live streams from air. People are banned from YouTube left and right (pun intended). It's the new normal and brave technologists who posed as defenders of "real" free speech are mostly rationalizing and cheering it on.

I don't know my machine's specs: it doesn't really matter anything off-the-shelf from Circuit City or Best Buy is fast enough for what I do.

I have a windows desktop machine from 5 years ago that I run Visual Studio and dozens of embedded IDEs on.

All my networking / cloud dev is done on three different linux laptops (all Dells that were repurposed): Qubes, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD. (FreeBSD has a few other images on it with Grub including Win10.)

And then I have two macbook pros, an x86 and an M1 that I remote desktop/VNC to the other machines.

I prefer laptops because they take up less space and are portable.

By embedded I mean products based on Arm Cortex-M and -R, Renesas RZ/RL/RX, TI 430, Synopsys ARC, PIC, Atmel, etc...

Not favorably. Perhaps there's a magic combination of SSH and Tramp settings that can make the experience lag free, but I can't find it. VSCode's remote editing was setup-free and close to seamless when I tried it.

Tramp has support for many, many more remote protocols though.
> Some people who push these values on social media care way more about the image of being a "successful person" than actually doing what it takes to achieve success (which rarely involves bragging about how hard you work on social media).

Devil's advocate but

you can measurably tell if you are financially successful (from working hard/long hours) and our healthy fitness wise (from going to the gym/eating clean/going for a run/etc.)

you can also measurably tell if you are in a good headspace from meditation/yoga/reading

I'm the first person to poop on people who "do it for the Gram" but...

Most people I know who post about being successful are the same people who wouldn't want their image hurt by being caught in a lie.

I think for content like this there's a scale between mostly "feel good" fluff (i.e. Gary V stuff, imo) to mostly "useful" stuff (i.e. Atomic Habits, imo). But everything has a mixture of actionability and story-based fluff thrown in there entertainment/inspirational value.

In my opinion, the fluff gets you through the drier parts of the reads. But what you decide to actually take out of the book and action on - that's up to you.

You turned it into mere entertainment when you read but didn't take action, for example, clean up your desk to enable your habits to begin, as clearly described in the Atomic Habits book.

The good reads you'll probably need to note down and return to a few times to extract all the useful, concrete advice.
Ok sorry about that then, I suppose you can read it both ways:

2. Russia knows the US is committed to help Taiwan but the US don't want to piss off their allies China...

I'm sure a linguist could sort this out. :P

Edit: Actually why would Russia interfere or react to China/Taiwan in any way, regardless of Ukraine?

Top five regrets of the dying

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
It effects everyone quite a bit. The problem is we lost many months of productivity. At the end of the day, there's less stuff to go around. You get less stuff. I get less stuff.

Money is a point-keeping abstraction.

Us simply being able to buy that much less stuff (by the lost production) is the best-case outcome. The worst-case outcome is that we continue to produce less stuff because of structural damage. For example, if you lose your job, can't get another one, and can't make your mortgage, that results in much more direct damage than a loss of savings. That, in turn, means you buy less stuff, and businesses who depend on you to consume go under, and more people lose their jobs. And so on.

I was on Maui in 2014 when Kilauea happened on the Big Island and brought back to those days.

It was pretty crazy because I was waiting on tons of equipment coming in from the mainland which got delayed because of this, even though the route was coming in from Oahu before departing to Maui.

> Valuing hard work, reading and trying to be financially successful is something completely unrelated to trying to do 18 hour work days

Are you trying to say "it's easy to be financially successful by working 8 hours a day instead of 18 hours"?

like... it's "overstated" that people think they need to "work more/work harder" to become successful?
Congrats on the launch and really want this to succeed. I think I write too many trivial code that can be replaced by AI like this - like writing simple auth stuff or json parsing logic etc in my projects.
However, I just installed it in VS Code and tried it in my Django project.

Feedback:

1. I like the refractoring suggestions. Really cool and had some awesome suggestions right off the bat.

2. I tried to give instructions to write a method and it simply failed. I tried something like: "write a method to parse json object and parse non-zero values from it". All it did was add a method called parseJson(json) with pass as body :(
I tried a few different variations to get a method written by mutable but got nothing except new lines.

Anyway, wish you the success. I would love to see more players in this space. I feel a strong need for this kind of AI that can supplement my day to day coding .
I think that's perfectly in line with what they meant. I certainly don't have a story like that.
A beautiful piece, thank you. But this is more about him prioritizing family over his book. It must have been on a podcast I remember him talking about how he kind of had a crisis of faith over running 43folders and stopped doing little "life hack" posts.
I have two books currently checked out from the Oakland library, and I just returned a bunch of CD's that I had sitting in my car changer for a few weeks. Also my partner and I are going to the museum with free tickets courtesy of the library website.

I got my foot in the door of tech by going to a local "code self study" group that meets at another nearby library; met tons of awesome people who helped me figure out what I wanted to study and who I still message back and forth with about our individual problems and potential solutions.

Libraries are rad; if you have one in your city I highly recommend you check it out!
Why do you think there has been little research attention? Time was, 'machine learning' was little but tree-based methods (and that was how they distinguished themselves from 'AI'). Go look at Breiman's CV or random conference proceedings. Or as tree-based method proponents love to point out, pretty much everyone on Kaggle up until recently used trees for everything non-image-based; that's a ton of effort invested in tweaking trees. And there were hardware efforts to accelerate them (I recall MS talking about how they were investing in FPGAs for MS Azure to run trees better), so 'GPUs' isn't an excuse.
What seats are changing party? I live in California where my vote counts the least. Since I turned 18 every single election has sent a Democrat to Washington for both senate seats and my representative and president (though California doesn't have final say on that last one).

Currently, of those 4 seats, 3 are in their high 70s or even 80s and the 4th was appointed by the governor.

I'm in my 30s. My interests are either entirely not, or very very poorly represented in Washington.

Tell me again how my never missing an election has made a difference?
I am glad to see a growing chorus of people voicing similar concerns, which myself and others have long held. The article links to a similar article from Drew DeVault for instance (down at the bottom).

Perhaps if nothing changes after a while, it might become time to add your voice to the other public pleas. Or maybe speak to PINE64 directly/privately (I don't know how well you know them).

A big part of this is investors demanding financializaton. Unless you're in a sector that investors have decided is a "growth" sector, it's all about capital efficiency and headcount and how much "fat" you can trim. See, for example, the recent gas price situation. Companies are far more worried about becoming overcapitalized than they are worried about losing out on some sales volume.

Fun. The answer is fun.

But obviously, it's not that you have fun eating because you're unhealthy, it's that you're unhealthy because you eat stuff for enjoyment.

Similarly, being unproductive isn't fun in itself, but having fun means almost by definition not being productive. If a hobby is productive, it's not really a hobby.
