More optimization work has and is going into Nvidia support, so those are currently faster. Pytorch support for MPS devices is relatively new, so there's a ton of optimization that hasn't been done yet, so it's not clear which underlying hardware is actually faster for this specific task, but it looks like the top end Apple Silicon is in the same bracket as a consumer-grade Nvidia GPU.
The article says 1/6, but whatever, the point is valid even though the math is flawed. Your career supports 100% of your life even if you only spend a fraction of the time working, so it is indeed important.
I think you are looking at this wrong. It should be surface area of rotor/brakepad interface per lb of vehicle
:) your welcome - I hope you enjoy!
This is basic and obvious physics. I always was frustrated any time I heard someone say they liked their massive vehicle because it made them feel safer. It is such a selfish way of thinking. Sure you're safe, but think what you're going to do to the other car and people inside. Might as well add missiles that preemptively fire and blast the other car off the road in a detected collision. That would even be safer for you.
Exactly. For many projects it's overkill to set up an external broker like Redis or RabbitMQ. That's where I think Chard fits in.
They are different hostnames. One is fully-qualified, the other is not. That the relative one is almost certain to resolve to the same as the fully-qualified is irrelevant. The fully-qualified one has an extra label. This makes it different. If you model hostnames in your type system, it would obviously be wrong for example and example. to compare as equal.

> Then they would be broken. They are the same hostname and the same origin. They can not do what they like because there's no way they could resolve to a different address.

You’re arguing against facts that I have already clearly demonstrated. It’s messy that the FQDN and relative forms are exposed in this way, and it would be nice if that had never happened, but they are exposed, and claiming that they’re not just because you’ve decided to consider it a bug is nonsense.

Look, I’m just going to leave one more link here and disengage: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-domain (but also see the definition of “origin” in that document, which clearly refutes your claim of sameness):

I don't know anything about stable diffusion, but I've been optimizing a lot of prime-field arithmetic in Rust lately, and we experienced a similar speedup going from `+ x` to `+= x` (for scalars and especially for composite structures like vectors and polynomials).
I don't think this is necessarily a minor change -- += and + are operators. I have no familiarity with this library, but I think _forward(...) works on tensors of something like that, they are probably big chunky data structures. += probably saves a copy or whatever.
Why, and why?

Serious question! I want to know.
No. In single vehicle crashes heavier weight is deadlier. Increased weight means longer stopping distance and higher rollover risk,
It’s funny that he first described his method of random atoms bounding around until they found the exit. He then suggested adding a “fan” to the start to hell blow the atoms in the right direction.

The thing is, that’s exactly what his first solution was. A fan. His first solution is literally how air blows through the maze. (I suppose it’s technically when happens when you release air into an evacuated mass but still).

Also he suggests that collisions are needed to add “pressure”. Not true. He had pressure in his first modeling and no collisions are necessarily to model.
Do you remember why?
A few things wrong with this comment:

- Motor vehicles are inherently dangerous, the larger they are, the more dangerous they get, and their drivers should be in control of their emotions. Road rage is frowned upon for a reason

- You don't know if it's a recreational activity or utilitarian transportation.

- It's not that commenter that is making these people's "frustration" at their brief interaction dangerous

This is PyTorch code, so the Python is setting up a bunch of kernels that are executed on the GPU. The switch from + to += might allow two of those kernels to be fused together or something, and that could lead to the large performance gain.

The Python part only runs a handful of times so JIT vs. non-JIT doesn't really make a difference.
This doesn't make sense. It would be better if the person who owns the jeep and only puts 10k on a year has a Prius as well. The Prius is always more fuel efficient.

> better than the Prius driver who does 40k a year and has to buy vehicles 4x as frequently.

But worse than the F-150 driver who never hauls anything and works in an office and has to buy the same amount of vehicles. Again, doesn't make sense. You can always compare the other way.
I'm sure every state is different, but there are places where the state can enforce their tax lein by foreclosing and taking ownership of your property.
No, he proved that under existing axiomatic systems, there are some statements which cannot be proven to be true axiomatically, even though they are true; such axiomatic systems are, in his terminology, incomplete. A subtle but important difference.

Social media has been at least as warped thanks to state interference and astroturfing, as well as The Algorithm itself creating echo chambers. Social media is designed to make every user feel like they're in the majority no matter their views. Couple that with the incentive to keep users "engaged" by keeping them outraged, and you end up with a user base of various angry mobs from all sides.

It's good to know the US is accelerating production. I heard there's no real path to restoring Europe's natural gas supply for the next two winters; perhaps the Defense Production act will help provide units next winter?

Also, I found these two articles, suggesting parts of Europe are ramping up installations.

Poland doubled installs of heat pumps this year:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/heat-pumps-take-off-in-...

In Germany, they're up 25% (vs 4% pre-war, and gas furnaces are down 10%):

If someone is drunk driving in a Toyota Yaris and runs a red light and smashes into me, I'm not going to shed any tears that my big heavy SUV made it unsafe for them.
I'm a perpetual noob at this topic, so might be completely wrong, but: what I vaguely got from Hawking's books is that both black holes and the before-bang universe have matter in some kind of quark soup, in which our conceptions of space and time just don't exist. Since our spacetime depends on the non-soup layout of matter, the spacetime can be said to exist only with the universe after the bang (and until the crunch, if it comes). That's the age of the universe that we can reason about.

Curiously, Hawking still relates the hypotheses that (very roughly) calculate some kind of time that it would take for the soup to form into the proper universe—via Hilbert's spaces of configurations. I.e. these theories somehow count possible arrangements of matter in the soup, in the absence of space, and its movements from one arrangement to another, in the absence of time. That confuses me to this day.
Yeah, I intended to post this as a text submission and link poem, but the submission form says you can add both text + a url so I did that and this is how it ended up. In retrospect maybe I should have just added the link to the text body.
Thanks! I wasn't aware of django-db-queue. As far as I can tell it runs in a single process so I guess running tasks will block any others from running. That's probably acceptable for some use cases.

Interesting that django-q has an ORM broker mode. Looks like it forks workers using multiprocessing under-the-hood.
Even for the smallest car the requirements go drive are too minimal. And once you meet those we never make you update your training.
Maybe it's just because of the connotations we have behind the words, but I don't like the idea that a dinner with friends is somehow "hedonistic," but starting a business is somehow filling your life with meaning and purpose. Can't you find meaning and purpose solely in the pursuit of having good times in a good community? Plenty of happy people are happy just because they made lots of good friends and a healthy and happy family. Why should they need to find purpose in some arbitrary goal like running a marathon?

That would be true if your wheels instantly stopped turning when you applied the brakes.

The limiting factor for braking isn't the friction between your wheels and the ground, which is weight-dependent, but the friction between your brake pads and rotors, which is not weight-dependent.
Because of operator overloading "+=" can call a more optimized method than "+". If this code was written in a language without operator overloading I don't think this would be a very interesting pull request. THis could be a example of why some people don't like operator overloading and why some programing languages (java, zig, etc) do not implment the feature.
Generating the maze was the best step. Love this guy, math created art. Some one that mastered two tools to make something cool.
It may be less important, but still an important consideration.

In regards to nuclear costs, most comparisons include projects which were plagued by redesign due to regulatory changes. It is likely that reusing designs will reduce costs significantly [0].

In addition, solar and wind must be paired with energy storage. Once this is done, they become uneconomical in most places. There's a reason that Europe, the most pro-solar/wind polity on the planet, has not been able to get energy independence despite their wealth. The costs for a resilient system are just too high.

Disempowered low wage healthcare workers don't really have much of a choice. Line managers push them to cover shifts. These facilities are chronically understaffed because labor intensive work is inherently expensive. Another level up often the funding source is Medicaid which is also low rent. The result is problems such as no paid sick leave, no sick leave period, and workers being capped at part time schedules so they have to string together two jobs and become infection vectors between facilities.
Every time I see OS/2 it seems like this bizarro timeline that I have difficulty reconciling with my experience at the time. It’s such at first familiar Windows 3.1 but upon closer inspection things are slightly different.

I even worked at Suncoast Video (subsidiary of the Musicland Group) whose POS ran OS/2 (though the main employee interface was TUI).
I'd invite clarification, if you care to respond. I'm not sure if you're making an argument against the concept of car ownership in general, or instead advocating to deemphasize their importance in peoples' lives and redesigning transit and neighborhoods to be better and more pleasant without cars (a general goal which I think most people would aspire towards).
The sentence starting with "if you want a progressive tax" addresses this.
Modern brakes can get a lot hotter before brake fade. Until the brakes get too hot it is just a matter of brake pressure. Modern cars universally have disk brakes which shed heat better. Larger vehicles also have bigger tires which leaves more room for brakes.

In short while you are not wrong, in practice even the worst numbers are still more than good enough that brake performance isn't an issue.

Nice place to vacation. One of the quieter Carribean islands. Great food at the tourist restaurants, though expensive. Kind of jarring when you realize beyond the beaches and resorts, it's a third world country with people who are very poor and want to leave the island. I talked to one guy who worked construction and he desperately wanted to move to the US or the UK, mostly because it was so boring on the tiny island.
Cameras and object detectors can help, yet they aren't always going to be better than glass in a smaller vehicle, especially around the corners of the vehicle. Fancy tech is also more likely to fail.

And when accidents do happen lower bumpers and hoods are less likely to cause harm.

What you just described is actually the other type (eudaimonic) of happieness. You spent a lot of time and effort to cultivate those friendships and getting into that good community -- it isn't something that you just turn on one afternoon and it goes away the next day. Which is what makes this type of happiness so powerful -- it is like accumulating a lot of stock in a company that pays really good dividends on a regular basis. The dividends for the work (and time) cultivating those friendships and community connections are the punctuations of instances of hedonic happiness that are a direct result from it.

Just like learning to play an instrument -- it isn't just possession of a hard-earned skill that makes you happy, it is knowing that you can put that skill to use to make music that you enjoy listening to, and performing for others. That impromptu guitar or piano performance at a random cocktail party may be hedonistic, however it is only made possible by the longer term commitment to the craft.

Oh, and it doesn't really need to be hard work. A lot of musicians are in it purely for the joy of the craft. Personally, I get a lot of joy getting better at creating things, whether it is writing computer code or crafting furniture projects using my woodworking tools. And although it takes a time commitment, it is something that I just sit down and do for fun.
I can count on one hand the time I have seen someone driving a pickup truck with something actually in the back of the truck -- and it doesn't even make sense to put anything in the back of the truck unless you bring a stepladder with you as well in case you need to retrieve it.

GP didn't claim that braking distance was larger because of higher mass. Rather, because of the higher centre of gravity the ABS has to be calibrated differently, leading to weaker braking, thus larger braking distance.

I have no expertise in this, but seems prima facie plausible.
> However when the trampolines were activated, XRay added a latency of 230 nanoseconds per call or 920 cycles on my box, which is very significant. I really hoped it to be better since I have an old strategy using macros that introduce less than 20 nanoseconds per call (80 cycles). That was very disappointing since I planned to replace my homegrown method with something more sophisticated.

This has also been my experience: that I can either fight with a high-overhead profiler built by someone else that just doesn't give me the granularity I need or I can it knuckle down and spend the day to build my own low-overhead version and it pretty much always ends up being more useful... but, because I never do it at the compiler level, it is something I frustratingly have to keep re-doing for different environments, which makes me keep thinking "they have to have solved this by now, right?"... and then having my hopes dashed.

> Turns out the momentum from higher mass and the increased friction from higher mass balance exactly.

yes, in the spherical cow sense, but this isn't at all true for real life vehicles and tires. the weight of the vehicle does have a significant impact on traction, here's a quick video explaining tire load sensitivity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNa2gZNqmT8

related to the above issue (and as GP mentioned), the high CoG of an SUV also poses challenges for braking performance. you want all four wheels of the vehicle to have roughly similar braking force. obviously the front wheels are going to contribute more to braking than the rear, but you don't want a huge disparity. this doesn't matter so much for the abstract question of "how quickly can a vehicle stop?", but it matters a lot for the practical question of "which direction is the vehicle facing?" if the rear wheels are contributing much less of the total braking force, the car is likely to end up sideways. this is bad if you want to do something like "remain in control of the vehicle" while braking.

There's an old corporate haha only serious saying, "If you want something done, give it to the busiest person you know."

Walk into any startup or 2 pizza team and ask who does the dirty work, there's always someone.

The question is why is it someone instead of everyone?

It's because enjoying doing dirty work requires certain personality traits, and two of those traits (people pleasers and inability to delegate) ensure the dirty work is forever diverted in one direction.

No comment on whether careers are built on such things.
