I'm responding because when I found this a while ago and I felt similar to you, but mostly I felt it was weird coming from Ryan Bigg. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit for the awesomess that is the Rails guides, but I don't think I am...

What I did get from these Elixir guides (at least in my head) is that Ryan is always just being Ryan: a particularly great, proficient, and prolific writer of documentation. When he was writing about Rails, he was in his wheelhouse and he feckin' killed it and appealed to the exact right audience. When he wrote about Elixir, it was good but I felt he was out of his comfort zone and trying a new tone (the one you describe). This is purely my speculation but ya... again, just responding since this comment both made me a bit annoyed that you'd even bring this up (of course you have every right to), and struck a pretty hard chord with me.......and I'm tired and a little tipsy.

Anyway, massive respect to Ryan. I feel like he is one of the, if not The, unsung hero of Rails' popularity. The Rails guides are really special.
I was very specifically speaking about the market for AMD's GPU cards, in the context of a discussion about GPU cards. I'm not being pedantic here.

AMD's embedded GPU unit may do fine, and it would be smart for them to shift their development priority to retain that market share. They lost the desktop/laptop discreet GPU battle years ago.
>They will eventually follow it

Or they won't. And they'll lie to a judge, and they'll lie to a doctor, and they'll lie to the assistant US attorney. They'll create an insane and false chain of probable cause to accuse you of having drugs up your ass. You'll be taken (while cuffed, and chained to a van) to MULTIPLE hospitals against your will and be seen without your permission (without an arrest, without a warrant, and without a court order, and without any psych hold), each of which sends you a multi-thousand dollar bill. You'll wonder when the lawsuit will end up getting served for the medical bills for a medical condition you never had that the agents made up. You will complain to the state medical/nursing board, and they'll tell you nurses can search and perform 'care' on you without a warrant, probable cause, any emergency, consent, an arrest, nor a court order -- and DHS will exploit this loophole to violate what few 4th amendment rights you do have at the border. The DHS agents will smile inside knowing they can weaponize the high cost of fake medical complains while under your detention to rack up debt in your name.

Later you contact an attorney, and find out the agents have qualified immunity, that suing is a financial black hole that you probably cannot afford, and that your best chance is to be some incredibly sympathetic mother-teresa kind of character that are one of the one per 10,000 or whatever ACLU takes up for a cause.

These are not theoretical. This is what they've done to me, and more.
This book is timeless, it is abstract and the topics apply to Java or the latest fad language.

One good thing about HN is quality material can be reposted. The rules say once per year the same topic can be discussed.

I'm no expert, but this paper[0] has piqued my interest recently. From what I can kind of piece together, it discusses treating the latent space as a manifold from differential geometry, and creates a Riemannian metric for measuring distance between points on that manifold in such a way that the "curvature" of the manifold represents the semantic density of the latent space. This makes traversing between two points in a smooth/logical fashion easy by following the geodesics of the manifold. I think. Maybe. I understand maybe about 10% of what I just said to be honest, and still have lots to learn, which is part of why I find it so exciting.

History Shows No Example of Hiking US Rates Too Fast, Summers Says
I really would like to be able to upgrade to new battery tech over time. (Either to reduce weight or extend range.)

They say the US is mandating 80% of original range after 10 years. Maybe they'll tack a right to repair/upgrade clause in there too.
Yea they specifically are talking about the bad areas not all of Chicago (working off the "those parts" I mentioned in the first sentence).
What you are describing is a bias. You are suggesting we should be bias towards believing a metric is wrong if it disproportionally affects a protected category. One would also assume that if we have it specify “protected category” that we should believe metrics are right even if they negatively affect those in unprotected categories.

That’s a political calculation not a logical one. Also in practice members of protected groups who are over represented at a specific business can be disproportionately subject to layoffs to ensure the protection of less represented minorities. The general bias is toward integrating businesses and favouring protected classes for better or for worse.

Covid knocked 500k workers out of the labor force, a new study says

Here's one with a 250MHz 8051: https://github.com/flowswitch/phison/wiki/PS2303

They don't need anything as powerful as ARM (and thus avoid the licensing fees), and it's a very price-sensitive market, so a fast 8051 + accelerator hardware is enough.

No doubt some of the more expensive ones may be ARM-based, but I think the 8051-based ones far outsell them in volume.
We Don’t Mind the Dip(s)
Developer now but was originally a mechanical engineer and have dealt with some CAD software in my time. Solidworks > Fusion360 >> AutoCAD 2D has been my experience. Though I have to admit that the AutoCAD 2D was not my day to day software and I had originally come from 3D CAD as opposed to starting with 2D/AutoCAD initially. When I used AutoCAD for the first time I had an instant distaste for it and can see where you are coming from, the interface and the way of "drawing" was unintuitive, and I could never work out how make my lines be parametric instead of having to redraw them when related dimensions changed (though that could be a me problem).

I think the reasons it is still popular are:

- People who learnt to draft with pencil and paper are still around

- Legacy, still so many drawings that they don't want to have to remodel. The open format exports are never perfect.

- 2D layouts are just practical for a lot of industries (electrical, HVAC, MEP, etc) where they are just need to convey connection information or everything is nice boxes on planes and they don't need spend more time extruding out a 3D when they can just easily just draw an arrow and go "AxBmm". But apparently Revit, which haven't used, is becoming more popular int the MEP/HVAC space apparently?

I know my friend has lots of drop in templates and scripts that they have built up over the years.

Your frustration is understandable, but if you end up in the same spot again...

You're not really expected to copy a mnesia dump to another node that way, the expectation is you would add the other node to the dist cluster, then add that dist connected node to the shared mnesia schema (each node can only be in one mnesia schema, but you can have multiple schemas in your dist cluster), and then add table copies for the tables you want, with the storage you want on that mode. You could probably fiddle with the schema directly before starting mnesia to make it work though.

That aside, the data files are accessible via the underlying storage modules, disc_only_copies tables use dets and have .DAT extensions (you'll likely have schema.DAT), and disc_copies use disk log and you'll have .DCD and probably .DCL, LATEST.LOG and PREVIOUS.LOG may exist as well.

Who the heck is using mnesia? I've never used an elixir codebase that uses it, and it's (I believe) considered to "not be best practices".. not the least of which is because it's well known that mnesia can lose data irrecoverably.

As a senior dev who is just starting with python, I just wish python makes pip being able to handle everything nicely. Hate seeing a bunch of tuts saying that I should use other tools (like poetry or whatever) because pip doesn't handle X use case.

I completely agree with your feeling. I been working with js, php, ruby for years, and packaging is pretty straightforward in every one of them. And the lang versioning works for every one of them (php is the most annoying, yeah, but even on php is easier than in python). Ruby has several alternatives like rbenv or rvm, but any of them works has every feature 99,9% of developers needs, and they work just fine. I want that in python ):
We recently moved cross country and my wife tried to sell a lot of our stuff on Facebook marketplace so we didn't have to ship it. She dealt with an INSANE amount of bullshit. A lot of it was exactly as you said, they express interest and set up a specific time to come buy the item. Then just... don't, and we never hear from them again. Like 5-10 of these for the same piece of furniture or whatever.

Then there were the obvious scams (I don't understand how they work, but they were clearly not legit buyers). Where someone's first message is a demand for your Venmo or Zelle account name, and when you respond with anything but what they asked for they just disappear.

And finally there's the perverts who see a woman posting online and use it as an avenue to sexually harass her. Aggressive demands for address and phone number right off the bat, unsolicited nude photos, it's extremely gross.

So, yeah, I would say the experience of posting on Facebook Marketplace is as bad or worse than anything else. Especially if you're a woman.
The part you quoted seems pretty clear. It's implementation defined. That's why it works done on most modern architectures, but you can't rely on it in portable code, as there are certainly architectures where it doesn't.

The best middle-ground would be to spoof the most common set of fonts (probably Windows X default fonts?) as that would surely increase the number of probablistic matches over custom fonts / no fonts I can't imagine a large percentage of users (probably no browsers) completely disable web fonts and web font fingerprinting.

Is it possible to spoof information like that in a browser without reprecussions though? I don't think I've seen any extensions to spoof things like this, just settings to block the gathering of data in the first place.

That hasn't stopped social media from incessantly blaming bitcoin for GPU shortages sadly.
Since at least the Pascal microarchitecture NVIDIA has beaten AMD in performance per watt, and AMD is infamous for how unreliable and poorly performant their drivers are for Windows. AMD manages to do decently in benchmarks because they overclock and overvolt their cards with massive heatsinks and the cards last just long enough to run the benchmark before overheating and downvolting/downclocking.

All of this is accepted industry fact, and your devolving the discussion to personal insults is proof of this; otherwise you would have come armed with actual tests and reviews.

I just implemented NaN boxing for TXR Lisp several days ago.

https://www.kylheku.com/cgit/txr/commit/?id=073e4a84090b11fd...

I'm rolling out a release; it's going to be enabled by default on 64 bits by the build configure script.
I tested on PPC, RISC-V, AArch64, X86-64 so far. I will do Loongarch64 and Mips64 also.

I developed my own "flavor" of NaN boxing, which gets us the maximum width of fixnum integers, and harmonizes with the pointer tagging scheme (which is still there, configurable at build time).

Some of the decisions made were to keep the code base common between the pointer tagging and NaN boxing. This arises in the arithmetic library code.

The representation is "pointer favoring"; so floating-point values are not represented as themselves; an offset has to be added to their integer image.

I chose the offset 0x0004 0000 0000 0000. What this means is that in the upper 16 bits, the values 0x0000, 0x0001, 0x0002 and 0x0003 can be used as tags for whatever purpose. We make the 0x0000 one denote pointers. Floating-point values start at 0x0004.

This fits perfectly into TXR Lisp which has two tag bits in the pointer tagging scheme: tags 0, 1, 2 and 3. We keep exactly the same tags.

When the upper 14 bits are all 1 (0xFFFC), which is the non-signaling NaN, the remaining 50 bits are a fixnum integer: the most we can have.

So we have 48 bit pointers, 50 bit integers, plus three addititional kinds of values that have 48 bits of room.
Under the pointer tagging scheme, the three values are characters, integers and C string literals.

Since we otherwise represent integers under NaN, one of the tags, TAG_NUM (value 1) is not actually used. The function which returns a value's tag fakes out this TAG_NUM value when it detects a NaN-coded integer, which has no such tag.

This value must be returned because tons of code depends on it. There has to be compatibility between pointer tagging and NaN boxing not to have to rewrite a bunch of code in two ways.
I don't think it's about BTC. The feds have true hatred and fear of USDT and stable coins, it's a major source of fraud, most dark money goes into it. My analysis is that the digital dollar is an attempt to kill stablecoins, they might be successful I dunno

I wonder what the symbol for the digital dollar will be, maybe a $ but in italic?
A linked list is not cache friendly unless the nodes are allocated mostly nearby. But if one can ensure such allocation, then why not to use an array or at least a list of small arrays?

Sure, I think so. I’m a few years older and I’m tapping into my 120k liquid to move from where I live (small city no tech, boring) to San Francisco. I’m 31 and like you said life is short. I want to meet friends in tech, be around people who can inspire me, and honestly just meet some good friends. I feel like I spent my 20s trying to find something I am good at and like, and stumbled into tech as a self taught engineer six years ago.

I’m not taking a break “break” but taking a couple months slow to figure out my new environment and work on myself a bit.

I wish you all the best, do something you’ve always wanted to do. Don’t pay attention to other people and what they think, I can tell you that I spent too much time doing that. You seem to be doing great for yourself, so go for it!

Restroom cleaners will earn much more than they do today.

While many jobs will get automated, it turns out that building a robot that can clean arbitrary restrooms is as hard as building a self-driving car or harder, while the market incentives are missing.

Restroom cleaners first need to be paid well enough (or the smell intensifies), before Elon Musk can become interested in toilet cleaning.

In the GN interview they said they have plenty of cash.

I'm sure they'll have to write down a lot of inventory because prices went down, but for tax purposes their valuation is still going to be very high based on earnings. That's why private companies other than startups rarely go this route.
Actually Elo does hit a maximum, because a perfect player doesn't beat an imperfect player 100% of the time: sometimes an imperfect player gets lucky and plays a perfect game.

A number of people have made conjectures on the Elo of perfect chess play, using extrapolations from data how chess programs scale. I'm not sure what the latest analysis is (things may have changed with the strength of neural network chess), but iirc they usually estimate something like 1000 Elo over current programs.
I went from the 13 pro to the 14 pro and the video and photo quality is already clearly much higher.

The device is zippier, and the 13 was no slouch. Using a 12 or as other commenter said XS, there are delays and moments get missed waiting for the device.

I contend it makes horse sense to keep people you care about on the newest iPhone. In all liklihood they spend large amount of time using the device anyway, they might as well have the best display and other features as well.
Insider trading laws are there to protect the health of the market itself.

If people believe that there is widespread insider trading going on, the stock market becomes a market for lemons. As someone without insider information, your assumption should be that whoever you are trading against has more information than you, which means you got the raw end of the deal. If your assumption is that you get a bad deal whenever you trade, you are never going to trade, and then the market collapses.

This was a contributing factor to the crash of '29, and sure enough, the SEC was created in 1933. Its first chairman, Joe Kennedy (father of JFK), was one of the most notorious insider traders in history, and his mission was to prevent anyone else from getting away with what he did.

Thoughtful people have always been students of reciprocation. If you are being fairly treated, fairly compensated for doing a job and treated well by your employer then you should do your job well and return the treatment they have shown you. If you are being poorly treated and underpaid for a job then you are completely justified in half-assing it and showing the same disregard for your employer that they show to you.

This is not a new trend or a new idea.
I ended up allowing a mechanism to exclude ip addresses for a specific user. The step after this is too have certain IPs excluded from the entire IPDetective list and not just for a specific user.
It seems regional. In my community in Colorado, there's an extremely active Craigslist market. Where I used to live in New England, it was dead and Facebook ruled the scene.

I really love Craigslist's search, minimalist UI, lack of arbitrary moderators approving (or ignoring) your membership to local selling groups, and so on. It has its own problems of course, but I'm happy to live in an area where it's still a viable alternative.
if we look at the phone os market its even moving into an monopoly.
I can see multiple reasons:
1. Installing an OS on your phone is hard. Most smaller OSes require an advanced knowledge to use it. As an company for making such phones you have an big risk, if you make phones with an os of an smaller marketshare, plus the drivers are sometimes only for android.
2. Android made it easy for many companies to enter the smartphone market. Apple was effectivly beaten by an mass of phones which have something for everyone at an much lower price.
3. it was always easier to move between brands with your data. With apple you have only apple with the limited formfactors.
4. Marketing

I did this also. C and C++. Although none of my teammates are now Known Names, as far as I know, and also we did sometimes collaborate a little bit. But not at the "terminal" (not really a terminal), because in the labs used for keying in the code, the A/C couldn't handle more than one contestant per computer, so the contest organizers required you to hold a mutex to the room, not just to the computer.

I believe it was 3 hours, and in my day it was 10 puzzles. I still have my crib sheets, and the printed-out problems sets, which were printed on brightly-coloured sheet of paper. I agree that, once you apply yourself to this, it is not that difficult to learn to code more proficiently on paper than you would with an IDE, in less time. That's not to say we didn't have bugs in our algorithm designs.

Although we did not get eighth place in our region, much less the world, I too think it was pivotal in my development as a programmer.
