Okay I know about all the creative, revolutionary use cases of chatgpt but what if we use it for the worst tedious and boring job possible?

Now you can convince chatGPT that it is a database and use it as an alternative to Redis and ask for poems in the middle of queries. Can your Redis write short poems? xd

The translation of the coffee one is not actually bad; it's partly weird because the original is weird.

Could be related to Braess's paradox? In this case "adding lanes" would be "increased routing"

This is not the case when you are attempting to execute in a novel space where R&D is required.
Yes I agree. The article actually says the purpose is

But everything is just syntax. This distinction between microsyntax and regular syntax is really just for convenience; and sometimes it's not that much convenience.

It is possible to JIT compile Python just fine. There are projects like PyPy that have been doing this for a long time [1]. The reason these alternative projects never take off is because many of Python's most used libraries are written against CPython's C API. This API is giant, and exposes all of the nitty gritty implementation details of the CPython interpreter. As a result, changing anything significant about the implementation of the interpreter means those libraries no longer work. In order to not break compatibility with the enormous amounts of packages the internals of the CPython interpreter are mostly locked in at this point with little wiggle room for large performance improvements.

The only real way out is to make Python 4 - but given the immense pain of the Python 2 -> 3 transition that seems unlikely.

I can't shake the feeling that this is protecting Sony a bit too much.

This isn't the primary console buying to remain in power. This is the current third place platform buying to be a competitive force.

Considering Nintendo just does Nintendo things and I doubt either company really sees them as a competitor (which isn't a bad thing to be clear, but they clearly have different ideas of gaming).

We basically only have Sony here who has a long history of anti consumer tactics that in my opinion do a lot of harm on the gaming space. We are starting to see the Cocky "we can't do anything wrong" attitude from Sony again this generation that we saw when they first announced the PS3. That is bad for gamers and the industry. Just look at the complete opposite approach that Sony took with the PS4. Sure they still made some of their questionable decisions, especially later in the generation.

The fact is we need a strong competitor to Sony and Microsoft has made a lot of strides to get there, but this acquisition will put them right up next to Sony.

Now yes, Microsoft has a history as well. Particularly during the 360 generation, we can't ignore that. But we also can't ignore that Phil Spensor was not in charge at that time.

We also can't ignore that as gamers. Activision Blizzard has been in a bad state for a while now. Sure they may still be raking in money, but their games have continued to stumble over the last few years.

That is before you get into all the harassment issues that a drastic change is necessary and honestly I don't know what other company I would actually want to buy them. Sure not Sony, EA, and outside of those... who could realistically afford too.

For the record: I am saying this as someone with all 3 consoles and a gaming PC. But my playstation is my least used console because I despise many of the business practices that Sony gets into. I don't want to reward those behaviors.

Also, I didn’t really understand your multithreading code in ggml_graph_compute function, but that custom thread pool implementation IMO looks suspicious. Just too many atomics. Might be possible to improve a lot with a better multithreading strategy.
I am not an expert (I am a condensed matter physics PhD who doesn't work in the field) but I believe the dark matter particle is a right-handed neutrino. My argument is that the neutrino obviously has a mystery left in it because we don't know what the mass term looks like. It is not "physics beyond the standard model" but "a missing piece of the standard model".

This nice paper makes the case that the right handed neutrino could wrap up the remaining mysteries in particle physics

That's the right approach to higher-level tools such as no/low-code! Trying to model your problem using a pre-built software gives you constraints to think about, provides you with an alternative data model from the one in your mind / paper, and can obviously validate an idea with a few days instead of weeks/months!

But besides this point, when the problem is now well understood, no/low-code is just like walking with rocks in the shoes: you think it will go away by itself and you end-up with bleeding toes in the evening!
> Blizzard on the other hand sucks so much nowadays

It's so disappointing to me that Activision kept Blizzard as part of the name during the merger. Decision makers at Blizzard were replaced with decision makers who Activision liked and now the company is just Activision with Blizzard's IP.

Everyone who made the Blizzard name worth paying attention to was either gone or pushed into a different role by the time Activision ruined their name, but people still say things like "Blizzard sucks" instead of "Activision sucks" (hell, even "Activision Blizzard sucks" would feel better).

I'm don't even think that it's wrong to say "Blizzard sucks"; it just sucks that it's true.
Not only that, they had three bombers (B1, B2, and B52) fly over during the live stream of the unveiling that could be tracked live on commercial flight tracking websites. This simply wasn’t a secret at all.
If anyone at Gooogle is wondering why they are going through this pain or might have been fired it is because TCI, which is an activist hedge fund, decided they want to make more money and they have a giant share of ownership of Alphabet stock.

TCI sent Google a letter [1] telling them they need to cut people to get higher margins (>40%) as well as pay the investors more (stock buybacks).

Google is choosing to do what this group of investors says instead of supporting it's employees.

Just so you know.

Excited to play around with this.
In Canada, there's a lot that feels very positive at the moment.

- Recruiters being very open about the salary range. This is a change from even a few years back, where there would be endless back and forth of "who calls the number" first. Now out of maybe 30 early conversations only 1 recruiter absolutely refused to state the range. The top end is extremely consistent, the bottom end (as typical for Canada) can be laughably low.

- US companies and remote work coming in in a big way. Some of them position themselves at the high end of the local market (which I define to be around C$200k base for non-MANGA companies). Others decide to offer the US range (US$180-200k), which is of course better but in some cases has the drawback of being a contractor.

- Demand in my field (DevOps/SRE/cloud infra) hasn't changed much. Still multiple pings a week from recruiters, down from multiple a day. Not a problem getting interviews, at all. Had multiple offers already but looking for a better fit.

- Few attempts at take-home exercises. I generally refuse these outright unless they are paid; some companies react to that by simply waiving the take-home.

Some things that did change...

- the remarkable extent to which US salaries are outliers worldwide is beginning to have an effect. Every single company I worked at for the last decade had non-NA dev teams, usually at the periphery (support, integrations, follow-the-sun ops). Now core teams are distributed and dev work is shifting away from high-cost centers. One example I saw is in Gergely's "which companies are still hiring" spreadsheet -- how many of these companies are not looking in US at all, or are Europe-/Asia-centric?

- startup non-base comp is becoming a really bad deal, even for Series A. I was offered some shares, even with the founder's own rosy projections an exit for me would be a nice bonus at most. Why deal with the stress if there's no meaningful payback at the end?

- some smaller companies asking LC Hards all of a sudden. To me that just feels like someone out of Google founding a startup and having no idea how to hire non-developers.

- people having less filter in general. One of the best things I really started doing in my interviews is shutting up and listening instead of working to sell myself / ask questions. People will admit amazing things about the company or about the level of fit / misfit for a role when they try to fill in the silence.

- as a corollary, how do interviewers behave if they sense it's likely not a fit? Do they start trash talking your experience / chances of success / achievable salary, or just let it go? I've had a recruiter try to convince me there aren't offers at 175 base + in Canada. I've had a founder tell me no one will offer me a manager role (after a 30 minute interview wherein they talked most of the time and barely asked me anything). Just take a bit of time to listen and the trash will sort itself out.
Can still do that?
I don't follow the zig community particularly closely, but from what I can tell 'too lazy' is not an accurate description of many people that are part of it, and certainly not the compiler author(s).
Does this seem fishy to anyone else? ATVI's stock price has been largely buoyed by the Microsoft deal instead of taking a 20%+ haircut like the rest of tech. Anyone else think Sateya called up a buddy in Congress and told them to kill the deal to avoid buying so high above market value? Microsoft probably can't walk away on their own without some contractual consequences (e.g. Elon's Twitter deal lawsuit).
That's what it was for me. I grew up in a tiny farming town; if I wanted a job other than farmhand, retail, or local government, moving was the only option. And I did, 3 days after graduating.
Duh, of course that's how multiplication works. If one operand is negative, so will be the sign bit of the result. If both are negative, then the result should be and does come out positive, as the sign bit XORs to 0 and so do all adjacent bits that are 1 in both operands.
> don't understand how this is any way monopolistic

It's oligopolistic, you have a virtually integrated behemoth across multiple sectors that is too big to fail, which is not good for competition and thus for consumers.

> If anything, this just makes Microsoft into more of a conglomerate: something we should be encouraging and is good for a society!

Is this sarcasm I'm missing? There's nothing wrong with conglomerates, but enormous vertically integrated with exclusivity ones aren't good for society.
I was never too fond of the GUI of Waze. Luckly there is some neat development in "adjusting" that: https://highwayradar.com/
It does (and at least when it came out) it was relatively decent.

The problem occurs when the game has been out long enough that all the active players are leagues ahead of a new player; either they wait forever for a match or get steamrolled.
it may be its operational capabilities are more important to keep secret. It has an unmanned mode which is very interesting to me. Does it need to be piloted by a guy in an office cube like the Predator drone or is it more autonomous?
Do you use the REPL-driven workflow in Julia? With Revise.jl you only really have to pay the startup cost once; subsequent changes you make are usually fast enough to feel instant.
This gave me a real hit of nostalgia. All the more so as my mum (who died a couple of years ago) was a fan of Babylon 5. Sadly in her last years her own signal faded and became indecipherable.

I don't know if I entirely buy the line on "34-35 degrees off the horizon." Unless we knew the focal length of the lens it was taken with, and which camera it was taken from, you don't actually know that. A wide-angle lens is going to have a much larger field of view than, say, a 100mm macro. And different camera systems have different angle of view for the same focal length.
Yes - my reading of that post is that Waze was a toxic place to work, and the author is annoyed because Google is not.

PostScript have followed some previous ideas but the most important part is a thing lost in modern software: a programming language to create documents AND applications at the same time. A kind of document UI years after Xerox.

Modern publishing software have ditched this approach for another, a fully visually one, formally easier, sometimes easier, but in general limited and limiting.

Assuming you are genuinely not aware of language implementation processes, this is called bootstrapping. You may want to implement a language A in A (a very common goal!) but this is generally impossible when you don't have a compiler for A, so you first write an implementation of A in an already implemented language B, and then use that implementation to write an A implementation in A, abandoning the initial implementation at the end. Zig just did this.
Interesting. What is the status of the GIL these days?
I mostly agree. But the article isn't the main problem, the sloppy script is. When I install such hot fixes, I have them check if the cause still exists (e.g. still running under Monterey?) and, additionally, add a timeout based on a date.

Yea and EU is wrong too. Malta, Cyprus and the UK dependencies are some of the worst offenders.

I am also a big proponent of open borders and free movement but that needs to be done on a foundation of uniform global taxation laws. Humans can only be their best self when they have access to basic infrastructure and are given a decent social safety net, and these things cost money. These days most businessmen from both rich and poor countries hide their money behind these shields while the basic fabric of their societies are falling apart.

To your point #2 people say this a lot, but it's really not relevant. Because from my POV here on Earth, just like I can't see the final object fall in a make a black hole, the same way from my POV the black hole also doesn't exist.

Keep in mind that from the POV of the infalling object they experience the entire lifetime of the universe! The two POV's are complimentary - just like it takes until the end of time to fall in (from the POV of the infalling object), it also means I never see the black hole form.

i.e. from both POV's the black hole only forms at the end of time (which of course is never, since time never ends).

We think the solution is simply having good sources and answer transparency. If you mouse over part of the answer, we try to show you the source of that sentence. Obviously this system is early and will improve over time, but if can easily check if an answer is from say, the FastAPI official documentation, then the false-confidence effect of these models become less of an issue.
Another explanation might be that tech companies are doing poorly in general at the moment, and Google is one of the few companies that hasn't done mass layoffs yet.
