The situations such as improving package management in python is a problem but fundamentally in any software stack you will eventually find bad code. Especially as the code base gets larger and people move on.

Instead you can try to fight it by teaching the rest of the group how to write more idiomatic code but that only goes so far. Also training and documentation can go out the window when the objective is to ship something that works once.
This doesn't invalidate your point, but it's worth noting that SC2 had a significant balance patch released yesterday.

The modeler who can write code unlike you will get hired first.

Okay, now that I said the provocative thing to kind of drive home how real and serious this point is, I will say that I am not a statistician, but I run more computational physics simulations, so less statistical modelling but modelling of experiments and systems based on the PDEs. The one thing I observe is that there really is only this patience for this lack of understanding your own tools for theorists. Experimentalists can fix their own tools, they can open up the casing and resolder the boards if they need to, heck most of them can fix their own cars. But you have no idea how many computational scientists just load up Lumerical or Ansys and just click around but really have no concept or idea how it works under the hood beyond just things they show on intro slides to talks. Some know how to script say Meep or something if they're good but they've never implemented a DE solver themselves unless it was in a class in college or first year grad school then they forgot it all.

You really only have this disconnect from your own tools for theorists. Programming is your breadboard, your substrate. Code is the material you use to do your work. I don't understand why it is okay for theorists of all stripes to slide on never really understanding how their on research actually works on a computer whereas every experimentalist I've ever known could recreate their entire experimental apparatus from scratch if they were paid to do so. But that's okay, because that means as long as too many theorists can only write equations and then have to have someone to hand hold them so they actually do the things they've written down, I will be valuable and have job opportunities for myself. It would however make life easier for myself and lessen the many headaches I've been subject to, and heck, may be science could move forward a little better, yadda yadda.

I probably shouldn't encourage my competition like that especially when they're injuring themselves but that "move science forward and lessen my headaches" vibe does make me want to share the sentiment so that theorists at least understood on some level how the libraries they import work sometimes.
It's rhetoric that's as old as arguing on the internet c.f. "DEC didn't fail because the products were bad, it was the MARKETING".

Which is...not true. The fact that not enough people wanted DEC products might be a marketing issue, but more likely is that other companies made stuff that they wanted more.

It's like a last, desperate grab that's deployed when the argument has exhausted itself.

FWIW, I have a few thousand hours flying jet fighters and have hit rather large birds at high speed (me, not them), and have been hit by rather large caliber bullets (I assume also at high speed). From the two videos, taken at two locations, I cannot positively id a drone. What is described as a sudden altitude change in the second video doesn't look like anything in the first video, though it's mostly blocked by the inconveniently placed large sign. The appearance of a "large altitude change" could be easily explained by the pilot simply easing off the g in the turn to gain visibility, to gain a little speed if it was needed, or sure, to suddenly try to avoid something. It looks exaggerated in the second video I think because the camera is manually tracking something.

hitting a drone is unlikely to cause significant damage unless it hit in just the right spot. Seeing and overreacting to a drone might cause some damage but there is probably one second of altitude change there if any - that collision was already quite likely from the intercept path being flown. I've not flown either of those aircraft (before my time) but looking underneath during a turn requires effort and may not have even been possible, especially if there was a lack of awareness to prompt the look.

I think Juan's youtube video explaining the airborne change of directive from what in the comments on that video appears to have been an under briefed, and sadly under questioned briefing, is by far the most likely explanation.
I've tried this.

Prompt: Print each letter of the word "Artificial intelligence" on a new line. Each line should contain a single letter.

ChatGPT: [prints "Artificial intelligence", each letter on its own line]

Prompt: Awesome! Now do ROT-13 for each letter.

ChatGPT: ROT-13 is a simple substitution cipher that replaces a letter with the letter 13 letters after it in the alphabet. For example, A becomes N and B becomes O. Since the alphabet has only 26 letters, when we reach the end of the alphabet we simply wrap around to the beginning.

To perform ROT-13 on each letter of "Artificial intelligence", we would do the following:

A becomes N
r becomes e
t becomes g
i becomes v
f becomes s
i becomes v
c becomes p
i becomes v
a becomes n
l becomes y

i becomes v
n becomes a
t becomes g
e becomes r
l becomes y
l becomes y
i becomes v
g becomes l
e becomes r
n becomes a
c becomes p
e becomes r

So the resulting string would be "Nvevpngvnyvgryvra".

---

So letter by letter, is almost nailed it (except it encoded g as y instead of t), but then horribly failed joining back in (it says Airicatialitelien). I've tried it a couple more times and it seems crucial that it prints input letters (otherwise it becomes distracted and prints nonsense), but it absolutely can't join it back:

Prompt: Awesome! Now do ROT-13 for each letter. Print each letter of input, then ->, then the ROT-13 for that letter.

ChatGPT: [... produces mostly correct output]

Prompt: Now join that back in.

Unless Sony is "doing a better job" solely at selling copies of Call of Duty, then I'm not convinced that this merger is a huge threat to their market position. People aren't buying Sony consoles because of the games put out by AB.

I believe that is one of the points the author of the article is trying to make: that the data scientists ought to be able to work in whatever language lets them develop the model most quickly and then hand it over to a software developer to make it work well in code, so that each can focus on doing what they do best and both aspects can be done very well.

I recall 72 being more common. This left room for a few nested quotes (indented each level by >[space]) before needing to reflow the text to fit in 78, the 78 coming from back in the days of text terminals 80 characters wide (leaving two for a border or for formatting marks or for other decoration/indicators).

Maybe that was a more localised thing (I'm remembering it from guidelines for mailing lists and/or Usenet groups) and a flat 78 character guideline was more usual around the wider internet?

> Most of the Rust compiler is in C++, and they have no plan to change that.

What? I just went and searched the Rust compiler, and the only C++ code to speak of was LLVM itself, and a thin wrapper around LLVM to provide a C API. Which is pretty much the same state that Zig is in right now. (Although in Zig's case, LLVM is optional)

Yeah, it's a lot of C++ that the Rust compiler relies on, but I don't think most people would really compare things like that.

Taylor Lorenz isn't a source for evidence nor is Wikipedia or any other place that puts labels on thing and citates others as the source. Evidence is if you can point to the action in question not if you can point to someones else agreeing with you.

Why cant you just link to the "offense". Why is here not a single tweet that encourages people do do any kind of harmful action to anyone?

>Yes, this is such a good faith reading of my comments…

You aren't replying in good faith if you make stuff up. I'm calling you out and obviously this is not a good faith argument and its not meant to be one. Its meant to give you an opportunity to self-reflect instead of doubling down on accusation that you can not provide any evidence for.

It seems reasonable to assume the accusation originated in emotional coping because that is how it reads like. If you have a different reason why you made these accusations then feel free to tell me but I'd much rather had evidence for the claims than debate about why you lie to me, fully aware that I can and did look into what the account posts and its none of the things you accuse them of.
You just dislike them which is fine. I dislike what FlatEarthZone posts on twitter. But I'm not gonna accuse them of hurting people trough the extended hypothetical harmful action of their followers, that would be silly.

Well, I've hit birds with wingspans around a dozen feet (didn't go measure).

That is a lot of handwaving/massive oversimplification - there are a number of reasons this is infeasible (one already mentioned) It matters because a lot of the AI hype these days relies in part on people’s misunderstanding of this.
Agree. For the record, I do think he is going to jail. The facts are probably there, I think the part that will be challenging is proving intent. Did he intentionally funnel money to his trading firm. Once they build a strong enough case, they will go after him.
It's possible we're at the limit, but there's also no inherent reason it couldn't be better than humans. Its limits seem to be tied to conceptual capacity, not training material. We've seen it generate output that was its input combined in novel ways, and not found anywhere else. AlphaGo is a clear-cut case of this.

Define "most".

I would assume evaporation is directly correlated with the surface area the water is spread on. Spreading water on farmland as opposed letting the water flow naturally into the Great Salt Lake is going to increase the effective surface area of the water.

Additionally, plants are pretty effective at pulling water out of the ground and releasing it into the air, so the agriculture aspect increases evaporation as well.

> It is then further optimized with wasm-opt -Oz --enable-bulk-memory bringing the total down to 2.4 MiB. Finally, it is compressed with zstd, bringing the total down to 637 KB. This is offset by the size of the zstd decoder implementation in C, however it is worth it because the zstd implementation will change rarely if ever, saving a total of 1.8 MiB every time the wasm binary is updated.

Is the goal here to save space in the Git repo, by compressing before committing?

I wouldn't assume using zstd is necessarily worth the complication. It could even make things worse.

As I understand it, Git stores objects in packfiles[1], and these are both delta-fied and compressed with zlib.

Your zstd reduces the 2.4MiB .wasm file to 637K. But Git's zlib should reduce 2.4MB to 800K (according to a quick test I just did). So at best, you only save 163K, not 1.8 MiB.

But if Git's delta-fication works, you may actually use more space.

Git should try to use its binary diff algorithm[2] to compare your various committed versions of zig1.wasm. If that algorithm is effective against Wasm files (my guess is yes), it will be able to store one version as a full copy and other versions as (somewhat? much?) smaller deltas against the full one.

If you store .wasm.zst files, since compression tends to obscure commonalities, my guess is Git won't be able to do deltas and will have to store full copies of every version.

On a side note, Git is said to be bad at handling binaries, and that's somewhat true, but there's some nuance. Binary files get in the way of easy branching and merging because Git can't merge them. So Git is bad at binary files in that way, but that's not relevant here. Also a lot of binary formats (like JPEG) are very much not amenable to binary diff, but my bet is that's not relevant here either.

I'm actually glad to see these responses here, because I have the exact opposite feelings, and I think it highlights a huge generational disconnect.

I agree with the author. It is somewhat shocking to me that so many employees in tech feel, or at least project, that being available during normal working hours is "kinda optional". And to be clear, I'm not talking about someone that has a real emergency. But to have the expectation that one should be available between 9-5ish is somehow considered "toxic" is just baffling to me. I'd also highlight that many professions, e.g. those that have shift work, are nowhere near as lax.
