I've always considered that you pay extra for the cloud for scalability and security. First one you may not need but the second one is a must.
There are two "directions" along which you can parallelize:
- explore different parts of the parameter hyperspace in parallel.
- for a given parametrization, split the model and/or objective function so that its parts can be computed in parallel.

The second approach is model-specific, and gives you nice speedups (make your model N times faster, and you will converge N times faster), but is often not particularly well-suited for accelerators (which includes GPUs) due to the latency of moving data back and forth, but again with model-specific tuning you can maybe make it work. Most of the time SIMD on CPU is best here for most traditional problems.

The first approach, which already pretty much requires the second so that the model and the optimization can run on the same computing unit, well it isn't particularly great since you're doing computations that are suboptimal and/or redundant to begin with. Any speedup isn't obvious, depends on the optimization algorithm and the convergence characteristics of your problem. Also as you follow along some paths in parallel, you'll eventually need to sync up, and since they have divergent control flow, this means you're not able to make the most of the computing resources which will be stalling quite often. Often, with enough tuning for your particular problem and method, you can make it work.

So why don't generic libraries do it on GPU? Because unless you tune everything for your particular problem, it's just not going to perform as well as on CPU.
It being taken apart counts as falling apart in my book. Panic and mobs are one thing, but certainly something like the interruption of continous cooling chains would play into it as well.

> compared to the awkwardness of a zoom call where nobody is willing to even unmute to laugh since it draws focus away from whoever was previously talking

I've never noticed anyone doing that when on calls with friends. I have in meetings at work, but there people hide on mute because they don't really want to be there in the first place and are probably off aimlessly browsing the web or trying to catch up on actual work. In the scant few work meetings that are purposeful and engaging, however, I've found plenty of laughter.

Yes, 'Families' are a fairly foundational artifact of the '3rd space' concept.

It's a bit of a sensitive social issue which relates to 'someone at home', obviously almost always the mother. I have no doubt whatsoever that women having the chance to work, contribute etc. is very material progress, at the same time, I have no doubt that 'homemakers' add tremendous value. The former we measure in terms of productivity, GDP etc. the later, again, it's 'externalized' from our data and language, and kind of 'shamed' a bit in some circles so we just don't talk about it.

In 2022 I kind of just assume the world is fairly gender-less in most respects so I'm always shocked to see this kind of data which shows substantial numbers of women (relative to men) preferring to stay at home. It's still about 50% [1]. I've seen other, more nuanced data that puts it a bit more subtly: men mostly prefer to work full time (but definitely not all), women substantially prefer to work part time with almost equal cohorts wanting full time work vs. stay at home full time. I think the 'part time' concept rings interesting, because it may feel aspirational or 'best of both worlds' for at least some people (men included) who kind of want to spend time with young children, but not be 'locked in the home'.

And finally, we are living a lot longer and so ratio of families with children is smaller, which affects the numbers.

If I don't think someone can bring significant value to the business by the second month at the latest, I won't hire them. And if I do hire someone and they don't end up bringing significant value to the business by the second month (or if they end up bringing negative value), then I let them go.

So if they make it even to just month three, it means the hire was well justified. If they leave any time after that, even if it's before their first anniversary, I wish them good luck on their next venture and thank them for the value they brought to the business during their tenure.

The length of their tenure for past positions is completely irrelevant in all of this, so doesn't factor into my hiring decisions at all. Frankly I don't understand why anyone would do any differently.

At the end of the day, I think preferring employees who are "loyal" to past employers is a sign of insecurity on the company/hiring manager's side. It means they secretly think their company is at best only average at retaining great employees, so they resort to biasing towards "loyal" employees as a clutch. I would suggest they work on employee retention instead of disqualifying perfectly good candidates for not having been "loyal" enough in the past.

Employees don't owe any "loyalty" to their employers. It's the employer's job to retain employees. When an employee leaves early, it's almost always because the employer was doing a shitty job at retention.

I think I am not making myself very clear. It's not a question of having or not friends to socialize with after work. It's about socializing DURING workhours. Even on WFH, we are still working the usual 8h. And I feel like I am losing a ton of opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations when I am alone at home or at a cafe. The question then is: how do we create environments that allow these types working hours interactions in a WFH setting?

It's just a different variable: USERPROFILE.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/42700844/512904

> being Linux but mangling it so it technically works on other platforms

Sounds like the easiest way to solve this problem. I don't blame or shame developers for choosing it.

This is simple and works everywhere:

char * home = getenv("USERPROFILE");
if (home) {
// Use home directory
}

The answer demonstrating the Windows API way has the following code to accomplish the same thing:

WCHAR profilePath[MAX_PATH];
HRESULT result = SHGetFolderPathW(NULL, CSIDL_PROFILE, NULL, 0, profilePath);
if (SUCCEEDED(result)) {
// Use home directory
}

Yeah, I seriously doubt open source developers want to deal with this Windows bullshit. I sure don't. Maybe if you're getting paid.

During the early pandemic I was very consistent. I woke up every day at 11am and went to bed around 4am-5am. But that was because I was running my own business and the only person I had to interact with was my partner, so we just set our daily meeting at 1pm.

The kids would wake up around 11am as well and go to bed around 2am.

Sadly I live in a society of mostly morning-birds so I can't do that anymore. Kids have to be in school early, meetings start early, etc, etc.

Python also makes no distinction between safe and unsafe code. Now, "ctypes" is maybe enough of a marker, but it just illustrates how easy it is to create danging pointers in Python just like in C, if desired.

import ctypes
ptr = ctypes.c_char_p(0x1234) # integer to pointer cast
ptr.value # deref dangling pointer

And similar operations are available through numpy and the buffer API, just a bit harder to jump into those, but once you do, the same kind of mistakes can happen.

> So in our little thought experiment, (...), our bugs-per-windshield metric would have been cut by two-thirds even if the number of bugs had remained constant. And it hasn’t! It’s fallen precipitously.

This could also be a function of bugs flying less over busy roads, and decreasing in volume at the places where most cars drive. If so, that would explain the precipitous fall in splats. I do not think that this is very far-fetched, since most animals instinctively begin to shun areas when predators are introduced.
Cosmopolitan is a replacement standard library. It's not so much "pulling-in" a library as replacing e.g. glibc. The point of the blog post is that it's a libc but also a batteries included C development environment.

> For me, that was never my goal in life (and frankly I can't understand people whose goal in life is that).

That's unfortunate. Unless you're already rich, finding stable employment that pays well and reliably is an important goal to have. The opposite would be volatility, and that's not really good for much. There's something said against keeping the exact same job for 5-10 years perhaps, but securing a reliable is the only thing I care about when I'm an employee or contractor. Tech doesn't really have much virtue when you don't have that.

I would have expected that. Amazon neither has the staff with expertise to investigate claims nor much interest in removing products that earn them a nice share. Knowledge is fungible nowadays, and in these cases of "fake books" its volatile too.

It's the virtual gold rush on the Internet and companies which supply resources (ebook platforms, search engines, but hardware for crypto mining like graphics cards etc too) to those "miners" profit from what's going on.

1. No, the product is not the violinist. Yes you're paying big money for the performance/art, but part of the performance/art is the entire experience. You're paying to listen to music in a nice hall, versus in the subway where it's incidental/background. That's the product, not just the violinist.

1b. Often (at least historically) the big draw for attending classical music performances is the opportunity to mingle with "who's who" in the local community. The music itself is a secondary activity sponsored by these patrons. That might explain why tickets are expensive.

2. Joshua Bell is not that great a musician. And he's not a great person either.
'3rd space' is a conceptual 'space', not a physical space. It just means places shared by a local community wherein there are material social connections: aka 'Bowling Club', 'Ladies Auxiliary of the local veterans association', the 'Church', the 'greasy diner'.

Notably a lot of restaurants/cafes used to be '3rd spaces' - but they've often been replaced with corporatized chains. Starbucks, funny enough effectively 'brands' their cafes as '3rd spaces' with the comfy chairs etc. but they are in reality, not really 3rd spaces. Just the 'feeling and appearance' of it.

In my local suburban Starbucks there are little 'cheerful sticky notes' ostensibly written by community members, alas, they are not. They are mostly the same handwriting; the little bits of 'cheer' were handed down to the manager from corporate HQ, to be 'passed off as' community notes, so as to substitute for the sentiment of the local folks, who obviously can't be trusted to be 'on brand'. I find that a deeply cynical form of 'marketing'.

You have made yourself clear. We are talking about during work hours. That is the very freedom that WFH allows. Again, WFH is short for work from anywhere.

> how do we create environments that allow these types working hours interactions in a WFH setting?

Why do you think they don't already exist? I have WFH for 20 years now and have never found much difficulty to find people to work with, save the pandemic period. And I am based in rural area. Imagine how much easier it would be to find people to work with in a city!

As I alluded to earlier, I think the pandemic being the introduction to WFH for a lot of people has skewed perceptions. They went WFH because they had to stay home alone. But those days are quickly moving behind us. You can work anywhere again now.

that's effectively what i did, but i listed all stints as if they were jobs, and my CV is rather lengthy as a result. some of them were contracts, some where were actual employment. we used whatever form was more convenient. sometimes employment was necessary for visa purposes. in the end i don't think it matters. consulting is consulting, and i may very well share who i was consulting for, it's still different from having a long term job. as a hiring manager i would still ask: "you have been consulting for the last 10 years, why are you looking for employment now?"

the transition from independent consulting to long term employment is just as questionable as the one from job-hopping to long term employment. you'd have to be working as an employee for the same consulting company for multiple years to give the impression that you are willing to stick with the same employer for a longer period.
