Yeah, unfortunately I have no idea if that was their original goal (which seems unlikely?) or if this is just a minimal example they came up with after tripping over the actual problem in a more realistic setting.

I think it suffices to show that the behavior of FTZ/DAZ caused an actual problem for someone, though. I agree that the vast majority of numerical code won't care about FTZ/DAZ, but when it's enabled thread-wide you have no idea what kind of code you'll end up affecting.
Also it is quite telling that when measures that accord with your attitude were passed, the businesses and services that you tout were more than happy to move out. And this was pre-COVID. 49ers poof. Stripe poof.

I threw away all dedicated presentation software during trade school and now use LaTeX with the beamer class for everything:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_(LaTeX)

It's simply amazing not to think about layouts anymore. I write what comes to my mind, include figures like I'd do with every other document and get a sleek presentation in minutes.
Are there any resources you recommend for learning webgl + wasm?
Aha I see.

I don't think that's very doable though. Bitcoin ASICs only stay relevant for a short time, when they're surpassed by more efficient models, and no longer economically viable. I doubt the owners of these are willing to turn them off and let their investment expire without using them. Also, the increasing cost of electricity dramatically reduces that write-off period.

Besides that, CERN is mostly publicly funded and one huge consumer so the government has lots of control over them which they don't have over miners, which are also more fragmented between many different operators. And the research CERN do is not time critical.

So I still think it makes sense. CERN is one thing they can actually do without too much trouble and has a relatively large effect.

I tend to prefer combining data at the last moment on the client side rather than having it pre-combined on the server side (I prefer REST philosophy over GraphQL). It's probably because I'm web-application focused and so scalability and concurrency is far more important to me than raw execution time. Maybe if I was a data scientist or embedded systems developer, I would care more about execution time. I've met people like that. But IMO performant scripts tend to be the result of more optimizations which makes them harder to maintain as the underlying engines or hardware changes.

> Airing out the room won't remove the sources of odor. This can be stuff like smoke residue, stuff the carpet cleaner couldn't pick up, etc

The source needs to be cleaned from surfaces, encapsulated (i.e. by painting over it), or removed by disposing of uncleanable materials like smoke residue on carpets.

> Name me something physical that is actually "destroyed" (mind the laws of Physics). The use of the word is used to describe the destructive process that causes a specific thing to not exist, and almost always means it was turned into something else.

I don't think we disagree about the physics, only about whether the byproduct of the conversion resulting from oxidation with ozone can be harmful or not.

If the citations I've provided haven't convinced you of the risks of using ozone generators for air quality, then by all means enjoy whatever methods work for you.

Something that's a rounding error on geological time scales is immense in the time scale of technological development.

The development of life took a few billion years to get to where we are now, so if for some otherwise equivalent civilization that highly random process took 0.1% faster or slower, then that makes for multiple million years of difference in development.

If we encounter another civilization, then it would be a wildly implausible coincidence if they happened to be close to us in technological level - say, just a thousand years or so; a more advanced civilization would be much more advanced - and we can see just how much things change in just a few centuries of technological development.
I don’t think coordination has to be explicit. Seeing meh PR and thinking, “hey maybe we should step up the advanced technology press releases” is enough. As for NASA contracts, it’s almost harder to name someone who doesn’t have even a tiny one, even cranks. Also it’s not like 2 Artemis failures are in a vacuum - it’s the culmination of a decade of failure and misspent funds.
I used to think foo and bar were really dumb and I thought less of writers who used them for not putting in more effort to provide realistic examples.

That has changed and I'm now grateful to writers who stick with foo and bar, the same way I'm grateful for syntax highlighting. It helps me focus on what is being demonstrated and skip over the stuff that isn't important. Use of foo and bar is good for this, and realistic examples aren't.

There's an argument to be made for hello world that falls along similar lines, probably.

I don't think SSDs allowing rapid swapping is as big a deal as SSDs being really fast at serving files. On a typical system, pre-SSD, you wanted gobs of RAM to make it fast - not only for your actual application use, but also for the page cache. You wanted that glacial spinning rust to be touched once for any page you'd be using frequently because the access times were so awful.

Now, with SSDs, it's a lot cheaper and faster to read disk, and especially with NVMe, you don't have to read things sequentially. You just "throw the spaghetti at the wall" with regards to all the blocks you want, and it services them. So you don't need nearly as much page cache to have "teh snappy" in your responsiveness.

We've also added compressed RAM to all major OSes (Windows has it, MacOS has it, and Linux at least normally ships with zswap built as a module, though not enabled). So that further improves RAM efficiency - part of the reason I can use 64-bit 4GB ARM boxes is that zswap does a very good job of keeping swap off the disk.

We're using RAM more efficiently than we used to be, and that's helped keep "usable amounts" somewhat stable.

Don't worry, though. Electron apps have heard the complaint and are coming for all the RAM you have! It's shocking just how much less RAM something like ncspot (curses/terminal client for Spotify) uses than the official app...
Probably not, but what's your point? Nobody was arguing that Apple phones are _cheaper_ than Android ones, nor that they're more popular in Brazil
One of those points could be dismissed as a coincidence… the whole set is what you call a preponderance of evidence.

I think a big part of the "problem" is that the skill set required to be an "innovator" in some field (coming up with an idea and making it work) is generally very different to that of being an "entrepreneur" (building a sucessful business around it).

It's quite rare to find the two in a single person and very often the best on one side are the worse on the other.
It's important to read the caveats: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/cmd/link/intern..., the most important of which is:

// The third case is handled by looking to see if any of:
// - reflect.Value.Method or MethodByName is reachable
// - reflect.Type.Method or MethodByName is called (through the
// REFLECTMETHOD attribute marked by the compiler).
//
// If any of these happen, all bets are off and all exported methods
// of reachable types are marked reachable.

Basically, if you do certain kinds of reflection, then more code is theoretically reachable and will be included in your binary. In practice, you end up with a large binary in anything that calls into autogenerated APIs.
Exactly.

I do empathize with the comments complaining about the homeless in Downtown SF. We have a similar problem in PDX and it really does kill any motivation to go downtown. I also visited SF last June and the homeless issue there was INSANE. It is all anyone can talk about! Everybody is pissed off about it! And for good reason, it is miserable for everyone involved! But nothing is being done about it.

The other day i saw a woman covered in filth sitting on the sidewalk with no pants on, staring blankly in front of her. I walked a few more blocks and saw a man writhing on the ground clearly high.

I'm not a "tough on crime" guy. I have a massive amount of empathy for these people who are likely developmentally disabled, or somewhere in life made the decision to do drugs that lead them to living on the street, concerned with nothing but getting the next hit. But the current state of affairs cannot go on.

I'm at a loss of what to do.

On one hand, being poor and disabled ( through birth or drugs ) should not be a crime. Locking them up doesn't help at all. Besides: our jails and prisons are already full of people. We see that with news stories of dangerous people being allowed to leave jail and go on to immediately do more crimes.

On the other hand: are these people entitled to rule the streets? Shooting up junk and leaving their shit anywhere they please? Setting up tents and piling their junk up blocking sidewalks? Raving mad, starving hysterical naked at anyone who slouches by?

Are we not entitled to protecting my city's prosperity from being bled before my eyes? And if so: How? Arresting them and placing them into FEMA camps? Where? With what workforce? Who is going to cook and clean and counsel these people?

Or give them housing. I'm not opposed to this either, but we've kind-of seen the bad side of this before with cabrini green. And again: Where. With whose buildings. In whose neighborhood. With what workforce to maintain them.

People hiss and spit at their local government but in my eyes, we are backed into a MUCH more dangerous corner than a lot of people realize. The holocaust started well before 1939. People all over Europe were shipping the people they don't want around to the next country over. We need federal action, leaving it up to the states isn't working.
> are you supposed to just list them out since writing them in the form of a question is misleading or something?

Yes.

Yes!

Several years ago I dived into books and seminars on effective communication. If I had to reduce it down to a few sentences, they would be:

"Don't ask questions to express concerns. Learn how to express concerns directly in a non-threatening manner without asking questions. Ask questions only when genuinely trying to get information. Never ask leading questions. Don't ask questions to inform or educate."

The Socratic approach is rarely an effective one. Proponents of the Socratic approach almost always blame the other party when it doesn't work (and it typically doesn't work).

It applies to most forms of conversation, including code reviews.
The California de-regulation enabled Enron while preventing everyone else from defending themselves from Enron.

It simultaneously capped the price electricity could be sold at within the state, while requiring consuming utilities to pay spot price for electricity when they needed it.

Enron took advantage of this to buy up all available generation capacity during specific (short) times, fraudulently export it, then resell it back to the state as non-domestic capacity (and hence not covered by the price caps) at insane markups to the consuming utilities when the time came.

Because the regulator (CPUC) forbid utilities from taking out futures contracts, the utilities had no choice but to pay these insane markups, or go dark.

While this was happening, the regulator also was tarpitting new electrical generation approvals.

This crisis was only possible because the regulator literally:

1) turned a blind eye to reports that Enron was playing games until it threatened the Govenors position and had been causing massive brownouts and blackouts across the state. The Govenor did end up getting recalled, largely because of this crisis.

2) Set market prices through caps and quotas.

3) Mandated risky 'at the moment' purchases of capacity instead of what every other sane commodity market does, which is futures.

4) Blocked creation of new supply for a long period of time, while demand was increasing.

And that was AFTER 'deregulation'. Which really just loosened the rules enough to make it hard to point the finger at anyone without a LOT of digging. To quote wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000%E2%80%9301_California_ele...]

"According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the crisis was possible because of legislation instituted in 1996 by the California Legislature (AB 1890) and Governor Pete Wilson that deregulated some aspects of the energy industry. Enron took advantage of this partial deregulation and was involved in economic withholding and inflated price bidding in California's spot markets.[9]"

So yes, they basically lined up the states utilities and begged for them to be shot - and then when the utilities tried to do something to stop it, handcuffed them. Then acted surprised they got shot.

This is a Bad idea.

Do you expect Apple has any consideration that things like this are happening inside the usermode processes when its System suspends and compresses or decompresses their memory of or throttles them by flinging them back and forth to different classes of CPU cores or analyzes them to look for other efficiencies that they don’t talk about publicly (network, thermal, sandbox, etc). If Apple wants FUSE, it will build a carve-out (in the form of a framework) like it did for virtualization. If you still want to use FUSE, maybe try System76’s Pop!_OS or find The [Apple] Way to accomplish your client’s goal.

Honorable mention: If you create a VXLAN interface instead of a TUN/TAP interface you can send/receive packets via normal UDP streams with no platform specific logic in your code (assuming UDP networking is part of the std lib of your language of choice). I wouldn't recommend using that solution in production but it's great for quick and easy ground up testing/hacking assuming you don't need to control the buffer exactly you just want to send some bits.

Fragmentation sucks, but code monopoly even more. A healthy ecosystem needs a plurality of implementations, or Chromium needs to come under committee control. (W3C? Something like the C++ standards committee.)
Change the name to have a Hamming distance of more than 1 from clisp. Like it's a cool language but I think it's very useable, call it something that can't be as easily confused. It's too sneaky to say Clasp instead of Clisp.

Clask, for instance. Two different letters.
Sure, it's theoretically possible to structure a day in this way (assuming the company only has clients on their own coast, which would be unusual for SaaS)

The question is why a company would wish to hire someone who is only available during a short window in late afternoon for sales? That needs a stronger answer than "I'm a developer working on an unrelated product who would like to gain sales experience but only as a side hustle", because sales engineers and product managers who love talking to clients are willing to make themselves available when the clients want the meeting, not when they've finished their real job.

The more obvious way for technical folks to break into SaaS sales is to be interested in contributing to the sales effort of the company that also employs them to write the SaaS. If that involves a different employer or renegotiating their compensation package to add in bonuses... well see it as practice.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. I just happen to have a name that, as far as I've been able to tell for decades, uniquely identifies me in the world (due to unusual spellings). And after many years of a very slow crawl through the justice system without the job, I have long lost any kind of savings (and would be homeless if not for the support of a couple people around me).

The top google results for my name - even with a usual expected typo I get, lands on articles online from the day of the arrest. Only reporting on the arrest itself, therefore not declaring the guilt, but it hardly matters to any reader or automated tools that copy those articles over and over again on random blogs. It's a terrifying ride going forward, no matter how much I figure out healing and therapeutic tools.
I've heard and it's a huge step forward but it's coming 15 years after SEPA.
Most mathematical analyses that I've seen involve running prior sequences of real-returns of various lengths though a monte-carlo simulation. So the distributions of prior returns is baked in (via a uniform sampling of historical timeframes).

Here is a good example: https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/monte-carlo-simulation

Plenty of the white-papers from the big mutual fund firms give the impression they use very similar analysis methods.

I seem to be in a small group that doesn't have a huge preference between the two, maybe I'm not doing that much advanced stuff?

If I'm just prototyping something myself, I usually reach for TF first, mostly because Keras feels like the "right" level of abstraction for most stuff. I used to prototype things with fastai/pytorch more, but newer developers didn't like how much was hidden behind multiple levels of *kwargs and some of the dataloader stuff could get tricky if you tried to do anything non-standard. I haven't tried PyTorch Lightning.

Besides the deployment story, which is pretty big and others have touched on, there are some minor things that feel nice in the TF/Keras ecosystem:

- Part of deployment, I guess, but I like that more of the preprocessing can happen in the model, vs as a separate step. The less transforming of data that has to be done in the serving code, the fewer possibilities for things to get out of sync and introduce bad data at runtime.

- Keras being able to infer input sizes in layers is nice for avoiding a bunch of bookkeeping code to calculate layer sizes.

That said, I feel like maybe the TF ecosystem has more sharp edges? I've encountered more than a few of them lately as I've been doing work on some recommender models using tfrs. I've also run into things like tensorboard logging not working with entire classes of layers and causing training to crash.

I'm curious - what are some things about PyTorch that make it better for almost every single use case?
Additionally the judge should bar Facebook from displaying political ads. That would be far more punishment (and better for society I think) than a mere few hundred million fine.
Seems to me the main constraint would be floor/window ratios. Apartment buildings often have windows just along one wall, and that works.

So I don't see why 100% of class A office space couldn't be converted, not that I'm any kind of expert.

Actually that's extra optimistic. Perhaps most skyscraper office buildings, but not the "strip mall style" office buildings common in the Valley.

Other commercial space (retail, warehouse, etc) I would guess very little. For example enclosed shopping malls don't have many windows and it would probably be cheaper just to tear them down. Ditto big box stores. But those vast acres of shopping malls and big box shops could be redeveloped into mixed-use developments.

Burying power lines is extremely expensive - and the utilities aren't going to eat that cost, it's going to be passed right on to you! Moreover, when there are problems with underground power lines, which ironically tends to also happen in the winter due to the salt used on roadways, it's very time-consuming to resolve issues. The utilities would need 5x the crews they currently have in order to restore power in as timely a manner as they do now.

How do I know this? I work for a major utility serving the midwest. Winters are no joke in these parts. As others have noted, heat pumps are only good down to 20F. If it gets colder than that, which it frequently does, you're going to want a natural gas furnace because electric furnaces are stupid expensive to operate! This coming from a guy who works for the power company!

There's not going to be any phase-out of natural gas for decades - which is the amount of time we need to build all the nuclear generation we need to make power as cheap and abundant as we need. We can't heat our homes and power our cars with wishes and desires - we need a hard-nosed energy policy and plan of execution.
