Yes, last part of performance tuning is relatively simple process as you described, but that's only because apps where performance matters are developed from the ground app with performance in mind, so entire architecture is designed in a way that supports performance.

This is quite interesting to see because Jack has plenty of stock in twitter obviously? So it kind of shows that he doesn’t really care about profits, instead he wants to do more interesting thing, what a geek, just like all of us lol.

If you don't want people training models on your code then do not make it public.
Oh this is fantastic. I've been thinking a bit lately on how to do things other than image generation using these types of models, but you need to be quick to the punch these days. Kudos to these researchers, this is going to open the doors for a lot of applications.
As prices rise, people will be less likely to buy the newest devices, both because the devices are more expensive and because their food, energy, and rent are eating more of their pay.

As companies lay off employees, they need fewer replacement devices for the people they don't have. And as they look to save money, they replace equipment less frequently.

On top of that, lots of other industrial inputs (like energy-intensive steel!) are harder to come by, meaning that manufactures of things that use both electronic components and other unavailable inputs won't make as much stuff, and therefore won't demand as many electronic components, even though they might do if they could get the rest of their inputs.

And yet on top of that, lots of retailers bought too much inventory when it was hard to get anything, and now have more on their books than they want in an economy experiencing rapid contraction, and so they're not buying more at all now even though they are still selling.

Are you talking about Microsoft/IBM OS/2, i.e. 1.x, or IBM-only OS.2, i.e. >=2.x here?

For 2 and above, the IBM only versions, well, yes, kinda sorta. But that was
too late. The game was already over.

OS/2 2.0 came out in April 1992.

Windows 3.0 came out in May 1990, 2 whole years earlier. It already had established an ecosystem before 32-bit OS/2 appeared.

Secondly, OS/2 2 really wanted a 386DX and 4MB of RAM, and a quality PC with quality name-brand parts. I owned it. I ran it on clones. I had to buy a driver for my mouse. From another CONTINENT.

Windows 3.0 ran on any old random junk PC, even on a PC XT class box with EGA. At first only high-end users of high-end executive-class workstations got the fun of 386 Enhanced Mode, but that was all OS/2 2.0 could run on at all.

OS/2 died when OS/2 1.x was a high-end OS with low-end features, and a cheapo low-end 386SX PC with 1 or 2MB of RAM, with MS-DOS and DESQview (not DESQview/X, just plain old text-mode DESQview) could outperform it.

(Remember the 386SX came out in 1988 and was common by the time Windows 3.0 shipped.)

So it turns out that:

- Soviet Union and Eastern block wanted Romania as a supplier of agricultural goods, which Romaina has refused while staying on the block and sticking to its own policy.

- EU wanted Romaina as a supplier of agricultural goods (and exported labor?), which Romania has accepted and realistically had no other choice.
>Especially the Western and Northern EU countries have a massive influx of high-skill workers (doctors, programmers, engineers) from both Eastern EU countries

That's mostly false. I haven't met a single programmer from Romania in Austria or any dev from turkey who wishes to emigrate here. Non-EU skilled people I met all want to move to low tax high salary places like Switzerland, UK, Netherlands. Having an open borders immigration policy is discouraging for those with skills who can afford to shop around for the better option vs economic refugees who shop around for the country with the most welfare.

If I look at the immigration statistics here, most immigrants are refugees from Africa, Middle East, and East Asia, not doctors and engineers with visas, those are only a tiny minority of the total immigration.

That’s just good software development practices. Game developers and scientific software developers borderline abuse the software (language, drivers, etc.) and hardware to get these performance numbers.

For example, I need to reorder a matrix and change my access pattern to it to extract more performance and reduce cache trashing by exploiting cache prefetch dynamics of a CPU.

I need to test this with every CPU generation and test whether it works as expected performance-wise.

To achieve this, I need to rewrite half of the said software.

The reason I’m not doing this is it’s still way faster than other software I’ve seen in that category, and extreme performance tuning can hurt flexibility of the code down the road.
Probably.

They recently changed the policy for Organization-owned repos. The continuous deployment for organization-owned private repos is no longer allowed in the free plan.

But personal account's public and private repos are still part of the free plan.
I have to admit this is a bit surprising from Musk. I was pretty firmly of the theory that his real motive re Twitter was basically narcissism, and I'm still not sure that's wrong. I note he's not agreeing strongly with Dorsey, with the strongest phrase being "I'd like to help if I can".

And I still think he would be better off using any money he might have spent buying Twitter on funding a handful of open source competitors instead. The most charitable reason I can think of for trying to salvage Twitter for this grand goal of fixing web communication is to keep the network effect of having everyone be there. Would that even be meaningful in a real transition to something with a totally different architecture?
Why isn't this accurate? I never said Europe is not a great place. I said that the statistical majority of immigrants moving here are mostly low skilled refugees in the tens of thousands a month, rather than the much needed doctors, nurses, teachers and various workers and engineers wich are very few of the total immigration population.
Most of the industry in the Eastern European block was completely unable to even sustain itself (or turn a profit) outside of the captive market of the Warsaw Pact though.

The leftist governments tried to keep some of it above water (with money grants and granted monopolies) in the name of "the jobs" at huge costs to the rest of the economy and tax payers. The resulting corruption and various party mafias are still marring those societies today.

But eventually various private enterprises grew, took over and became the success stories of today.

That is BS. EU never dictated Romania what industries to develop, as Romania is not a planned economy. Private enterprise decides what to create and build, just like in every other free country of the world.

As someone on the other side of this debate, yes, it is "that hard".

The US has a long history of government using "background checks" and "tests" as a form of discrimination, for example how poll tests were used to discriminate against African Americans in the South. As recently as June 2022, New York State was unconstitutionally denying gun permits to average citizens while simultaneously granting them to rich celebrities and politicians, hence the recent ruling by the Supreme Court in NYSRPA v. Bruen. Unfortunately, it doesn't make a lot of sense to compromise with people who continue to act in bad faith (Claim they want to improve gun safety, but really just want to ban guns).
>Its warped all of our thinking.

Sort of. People who entered the workforce after around 2015 have no idea what is coming. Those of us who entered the workforce in the mid to late 1990s have already seen the movie a couple of times and know exactly what is coming. For those that don't know, the real economic pain typically comes during the 2-4 year period after the recession has technically ended. When you're actually in the recession it doesn't feel like it and people debate whether we really are in one, as they are doing today. It becomes apparent a little later.

Fun fact about this: Lua is embedded in MediaWiki (the software that runs Wikipedia and also a lot of other wikis). And in MediaWiki template variables are also 1-indexed (no comment on this particular design choice). So the 1-based indexing of Lua becomes an utterly fantastic feature not just because it's convenient but also because a lot of people writing code are super new to programming, and any barrier to entry (like having to shift your indices when you go from the template to the module you're invoking) would potentially stop someone from writing any code at all in the first place.

So for this one use case at least, the 1-based indexing is pretty nice.

People take so much for granted. It was decades until the graphics cards manufacturers ever saw Linux support as a serious issue. Linux made itself a serious platform by this kind of "wasted effort" and if you go even earlier in the history of Linux, it itself was maintained by enthousiasts that many considered "wasted effort" because Linux was an amateur operating system that was never going to have vendor support or even run production grade software.

To prevent guessing, the session ID must be cryptographically signed (and possibly encrypted) by the server, with the signature appended to it. Upon receiving it back from the client, the server needs to check it wasn't tampered with. This guarantees an attacker may not simply generate random session IDs until someone else's is found and their session is hijacked, because they wouldn't know how to fake the signature.

The fact that the model did not account for what actually happened as possible IS a problem in the risk model.

Pension funds are supposed to run for decades. Looking at the last 12 decades, I see many financial crises, a run on the pound, the Great Depression, a couple of world wars and so on. All of which were unthinkable until they happened. Any risk model meant to cover long periods should account for the possibility of similarly extreme events happening in the future, at roughly the historical frequency.

But you're telling me that those who modeled the risk failed to give this ANY consideration at all?? And then you say that you think that this oversight is not an error??
