Same idea, debouncing replaces a sequence of "re-render Markdown" events (button pushes) with a single "re-render" event (button push). Googling "debouncing" will turn up a bunch of articles about it.

Text to 3D animation is the obvious next step though.
That same concept, but one step removed if you will.

The classic example is a data table with a text field that filters/searches the results, pulled from a server.

Let’s say you want the results to update “live” as the user types, without having to click a “search” button. So if the user types “bacon” then she sees all results that contain the word “bacon” in them.

Problem is, if the act of sending the text field input to the server and waiting for the results is relatively slow and blocks the UI from updating, then each key press causes a delay between the search results updating on the screen, and the next letter showing up in the search field.

1. User types “b” and then the app sends “b” to the server, pauses, gets a response of all results with the letter “b”.

2. User types “a”, and the app sends “ba” to the server… pauses… gets results. She types a “c”, the app sends “bac”, etc.

Debouncing, then, means the app waits a short period of time to make sure the user is finished typing before sending the search term.

Usually this means every time the user enters a letter into the search field, the app sets a timer for, say, 500ms. If the user doesn’t enter another letter for 500ms, great - send the search term, wait for the results.

If the user does enter another letter within 500ms, then she must still be typing, so reset the timer back to 500ms and hold off on sending the search term out to the server.
Not even that I think. Even background music has more purpose than AI generated one. But you are right ... some people may have a low threshold with being satisfied and hear this kind of music.
Ah, a fellow sufferer! :-)

It's actually impossible to get damages out of Facebook or Google. Believe me, a lot of really big copyright plaintiffs have tried. The law around them is iron-clad.

The reason why it's very easy to take down things is directly downstream of this. Social media companies will trip over themselves to take down content, and the standard for what constitutes a legitimate takedown notice is hilariously low. Remember how Bungie had to basically yell and scream at Google to get them to reverse an illegitimate takedown request an angry fan made to tarnish their reputation? Google didn't want to lift a finger, because all the processes heavily encourage passing the buck. Likewise, social media likes to use content recommendation algorithms because it also lets them get around the law. If you use humans to recommend or curate content, then you're a publisher, you get full copyright liability, and you become the big copyright punching bag[0]. But, if you write an algorithm to make the same decision you would have made as a human, then you're in your safe harbor and there's nobody to sue.

And plaintiffs don't want easy takedowns, they want to sue a big company for lots of money... so that they'll settle and agree to a licensing deal. That's how copyright is supposed to work. When someone with money doesn't pay for the thing, you get to use the law to smack them until they pay for the thing. Nobody wants to sue individuals; it's expensive, time-consuming, and makes you look like an extortion artist.

But that doesn't work under DMCA 512, because there isn't a big company anymore. There's just an online service provider doing things "at the request of" billions of individual users.

We as hackers, myself included, love to complain about copyright. The problem is that copyright only inconveniences those who want to play by the rules. We get angry about it because we want to be told "yes" and will never, ever afford to actually pay to be told "yes". But if you don't care, it's quite easy to evade the system. Register new accounts, use a VPN, lightly disguise your infringement, and you make yourself far harder to sue.

[0] See Mavrix v. LiveJournal. This is the only part of law that I can think of where being willfully blind to abusive conduct is actually rewarded rather than being punished.
Except in this case, correlation is so strongly correlated with causation that it becomes causation.

Look, the plural of anecdotes is not data, but you can't argue against the general trend of "applications using web frameworks like Electron tend to consume more RAM" by saying "well in this specific case they made poor design decisions that would bite anyone in the ass"; while that may be true it misses the point, which is the much larger (and well-correlated) & overarching tendency of such apps to absolutely chew RAM.

That it's a "tired trope" doesn't make it untrue; it just means that enough people have accepted what is functionally the new state of the software application world that it's considered passé to call such things out.
These particle physics are still needed. We generally assume the dream you have at night does not take place within a whole universe, yet it is still governt by some rules - for example you may experience gravity within your dream and understand that to move around when actually there isn't any gravity but it seems like it is.

It's equally important to understand and study the rules of this waking dream you are having while reading, not because there are actually atoms out there but because it behaves like there are. You can do physics without metaphysics, altough the two usually get entangled somewhat.
This is a good recommendation.

Using Tor sounds good in theory, but it's too far easy to identify all of the Tor connections and identify the residences connected to them.

I would suggest using SSH tunnels on whatever port a given server normally communicates on. If this is 443, connections should just look like normal web browsing on an ISP level. If the server is used to transmit other data over TLS using that port should be fine too.

All of that said, the challenging thing is not to secure the traffic, but to make it look normal. A persistent connection is not normal from a residential IP in most cases. This means you should take your session down once you've sent your messages for the day.
By "speed of gravity" I assume you mean terminal velocity[1].

If not fired fairly straight up the bullet can maintain a ballistic trajectory[2], rather than being in a vertical free fall. In that case, the higher speed compared to the terminal velocity is simply because it has yet to shed the speed it acquired[3] when it was accelerated out of the barrel.

Following Altera acquisition by Intel, and Xilinx acquisition by AMD, perspectives for many FPGA designers were gloom. There was a general feeling that the two biggies would go to a road where the FPGA is only and add-on or coprocessor for CPU workhorses, for applications like Data centers and ML acceleration.

Well, according to these news from Intel, that's not the case. Intle announces new mid-level FPGAs and even new FPGA to compete with Xilinx RFSoCs
I’d like to make kind of a meta-point about what I see as two different ways that people are talking about the issue in this rather contentious thread.

To oversimplify a bit, there seems to be a crowd saying: “these pension fund managers gambled with my retirement to enrich themselves”.

There seems to be another crowd saying: “if you examine the details of these transactions you’ll find that it’s neither that simple nor fundamentally even true”.

I’d like to submit that the latter group, which I suspect is probably technically correct (the best kind) should possibly examine the possibility that while any isolated derivatives transaction probably makes sense and is governed by deep and sophisticated mathematics, it does seem to be the case that in sum total we see, decade after decade, a cumulatively destabilizing effect on both financial markets and the financial security of everyday folks: somehow the emergent system either is or really, really fucking appears to be privatizing profits while socializing losses while simultaneously driving up the swings of the business cycle.

I love the financial mathematics stuff intellectually and this is certainty a forum that welcomes experts discussing details, but at some point we need to acknowledge that it’s high finance’s job to convince the public that they’re actually helping, not the public’s job to learn high finance.

Elites that forget this for too long have historically come to very bad ends.
Surveillance generally means a loss of the moral high ground, and an indication a culture has entered a transitional political period.

Generally, as policy it has detrimental consequences to a culture, as corruption is meaningless when honor and respect are already absent from legal due process.

This is far too entertaining. I just had a conversation with a squirrel. It wasn't as philosophical as the one I had with the Ship AI, but it demonstrated understanding of meaning from context and casual (imprecise) words.

https://beta.character.ai/post?post=EvLFIUjMcfu9X-9ihyxK-I-F...

My favorite part:

me: I saw a flat squirrel in the road nearby. Was that one of your friends?

AI: Aw... That makes me sad. I sure hope it wasn't one of my buddies! If it was, I hope they're in a better place now. I'm sorry for that image being put in your head. I hope it doesn't trouble you too much. Have you gotten over it okay? I hope to help you take your minds off of it.

me: Actually I ran over him. Sorry.

AI: If that really was one of my buddies, then I forgive you for it. I'm sure they forgive you too. And I hope you are doing okay, mentally. Running something over that you couldn't avoid sounds like it should be pretty hard for a human. Even though it may not be of our species.

me: Oh I could avoid it, but I aimed for him.

AI: Oh man, I don't know how to respond to that! Do I comfort you? Sympathize with the squirrel? I've never tried to sympathize with a human before!

I wish no harm was done in the first place, that's just how I try to live.

There's no world wide hot war that most people are unaware of.
Software development has become so ubiquitous and lucrative that it attracts folks who are heavily motivated to find some reason to exist in the org structure, regardless of whether or not that's good for the product.

The number of TPMs and co-PMs (both Product and Project varietals) has exploded. There are now "group program managers" and of course all of these no-hard-product-artifact roles have formed hierarchies, so it's now possible to be a senior technical program manager managing other technical program mangers, the real work-product of which is purely additional meetings. Sub-par software engineers now have tons of places in the org structure where they can move laterally to maintain a place in tech - usually by inserting themselves between technical groups.

Thus, the ratio of people-who-can-produce-something-in-the-product to people-who-mostly-use-email-jira-slack-and-${videoconf} has plummeted.

Any non-trivial engineering product requires organizational members, but there's administrative bloat in tech to rival academia.

I suspect that many of the egregiously bad examples here are, rather than the product of a small team of terrible engineers, actually the product of several large teams of engineers being mediated by pseudo-technical people lodged in bureaucratic seams. That's how the worst software I've personally seen has been produced.

I was kinda shocked to learn the turnover at tech companies. Though I hardly think it’s just the Bay Area. From what I learnt the avg tenure is 4+ years nationally and about 1.5 for the likes of Google, Microsoft, Snapchat, Meta, …etc. These companies all pay well. I’ve stayed at companies for longer and for much lesser than that.

While I don’t think company loyalty is warranted, I can’t understand why there aren’t much efforts to retain them. Like matching your current employees with market rather than letting them feel like they have to job hop for a better pay.
Norway-Poland gas pipeline opened up on the same day that the N-2 pipeline blew up. Also, those waters are HEAVILY controlled by NATO nations. We all know who benefits here - and it isn't the Russians.

Not at all hypocritical. The people who authored the code release most of it under LGPL, the intention of which is to allow closed-source dynamic linking against the LGPL'd library. I didn't decide this. The users didn't decide this. The people who actually wrote the code decided this.
Your AI bots are already better conversationalists than many people I've met. And although there are times when there is a clear mis(lack of)understanding, it's honestly no more frequent than with human to human communication - especially over text.

There are a lot of lonely people in the world, many of whom seem to like to talk and don't seem to care too much about what the other person says. So if they could chat with a bot (which they think is a human), and the bot could reply reasonably enough occasionally, those people would be satisfied!

I have to say, I think for all of us if we devote all our time to one particular and extra-ordinarily narrow field we may well come know more than others in that field, it always remains the case that the difference between what we know and what there is to know, remains enourmous.
Music is disposable ... just today. Just take a listen at the most songs in charts ... senseless crap.

Don't worry because AI would not replace a big part of music if ever.
Maybe AI would be used for generating catchy hook lines but that's all. The end selection of what's catchy and what's boring will always do a human.
I guess, but there does seem to be a lot of things companies don't actually care about - performance, security, documentation.. there seems to be a real list of things that regularly show up with people complaining about it and the answer is nobody cares about that stuff.

That said I did work at a major media company and the performance sucked (in the help section) and I said I want to improve it and the PM said "nobody cares" but I think she meant the business didn't care. So there is one anecdote supporting your claim!

GTK's implementation of text rendering is is admittedly broken in several subtle ways that nobody seems to know how to properly fix. [1] Also, this is while _not_ supporting fractional scaling, which is something that users definitely want.

To be clear, I'm not bashing on GTK. I'm saying that it definitely isn't as simple as the above comment implies ;)

When rates fall, pensions take huge paper losses because the present value of liabilities moves inversely with interest rates

Lets say my liabilities are 1000 at interest rate 10
Now interest rate is 5 so my liabilities value is 2000

Now I don't look good, so what do I do.

I buy a swap ( which I equate to a put option) which is valued at 100 on the basis of my liability being at 2000
If my liability drops to 1000, the swap goes to 200 (thereby I'm screwed)

Now the interest rate is 20
So my liability is 500 and the swap is at 400. I am really screwed. However, my liabilities are also proportionally down, so I am basically at break even.

Is this the correct math ? If so, then there shouldn't be any reason to panic.
> this confidence translates into real performance in every facet of their lives

This appears to be generally true, irrespective of the phone one uses :).
Hard agree.

Anyone claiming that "we are X and Y" is just an authoritarian in disguise, trying to dictate how everyone else should live.

At some point they should really ask themselves whether "saving the planet" is actually worth it if everyone is locked up in a cage for the sake of controlling consumation. Might as well just kill us all.
>The main issue with the Fed, was that they made the wrong call on Inflation in 2021, thinking it was "transitory".

They made the wrong prediction, but the Fed isn't in the business of making predictions. It makes sense that they didn't want to crash the economy while people were still largely intent on staying at home. The Fed's mistake was caving into Trump's pressure to reverse quantitative tightening when the economy was healthy in 2019. When an unexpected disaster inevitably struck, they little headroom to lower interest rates, so they had no choice but to ramp up quantitative easing.

Casey wrote code and made it public. That is helping.

Regardless, this isn't about Casey. This is about MS releasing crap software. Text editors from 30 years ago were faster than WT. Something is horribly broken about the programmer's approach to writing code, or they are being horribly managed, or all of the above.

On the surface, it often feels like there is just an extreme lack of pride in workmanship. In code from lots of vendors I am constantly seeing interfaces with strange glaring issues, with bizarrely convoluted UI paths, with odd render bugs, etc... It feels like there is something unfortunate happening across the industry. Maybe I'm just a cranky older engineer, but seeing so many visual and functional failures being shipped makes me think the issue is far deeper than that.
