> I'd heard the folklore that snow tires are more important than all wheel drive for handling on both snow and ice, and having used them for a few years now, I'm a believer.

That seems obvious. AWD means you can use the traction of all tyres to move. But without snow tyres you have no traction, so AWD does nothing.

> So called "all season" tires are not snow tires.

Not quite true, there are 3PMSF all-season tyres, and unrated ASTs might behave well on snow, it depends on the compromises the manufacturer decided on, as the point of an ASF is to balance dry, wet, and snow. But where the manufacturer decides to put the balance is very relevant. That a tyre is all-season doesn't mean it's all-of-your-location-seasons.

In fact, you can have ASTs which are excellent in the snow and absolute shit on dry and wet, that's what "tyre reviews" found with the Tomket Allyear 3 (https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Tomket/Allyear-3.htm) for instance.

Also technically unrated "winter tyres" may not be suitable for snow either, they might be using better winterised compounds and deeper thread patterns but not sufficiently so to behave well on snow.
This is indeed a beautiful book and especially useful for those who are new to the industry. I have a nit to pick about one of the points listed in the article...

> Every meeting should create an artifact (ideally, a shared document or at least a record).

I have come across this sentiment often but there is no point in creating new artifacts just to record a meeting. What if the meeting was useless and nothing came out of it? Please do not create a document for this meeting. Such records only create an illusion that you are not leaving out those who could not attend the meeting, but creates mountains of documents or records which would be impossible to navigate in order to draw any conclusion later on.
I doubt that out of the 700 people not even one would show up in the platform ready to take off.

Of course you might get lucky and find a f/oss option written by someone with very similar needs/wants, but you'll probably have to self-host that so have a bit of admin to do.
Sports are name recognition advertising for the schools. They also generate an affinity in potential students while they are still children as they follow the teams games. It also creates an affinity for the schools with the general population, which is politically advantageous, especially when the school wants their state to appropriate more funding. There are also some of the smaller schools who use slots on the sports teams as a way of boosting enrollment. Some Division III schools have nearly half the students on a team. Division III schools do not provide athletics scholarships so that expense doesn't exist but they do get tuition money from the student-athletes. Many of these schools don't care if you have talent or not, they're using the lure of being a "college athlete" and the ego boost it provides the student and their family, as an enrollment tool.
What about the very remote villages in the colder/harsher parts of the world? Ie the disputed islands north of Japan, the easternmost parts of Russia, the vast northern parts of Canada, etc? Figuring a way to make those worthy/capable of growth to cities seems still lower lying fruit than Antarctica.

Basically, an Earth that’s capable of colonizing the moon or mars is probably already capable of further settling those conditions on Earth. That stage of humanity probably needs to have a stronger sense of community than current, too.
So the door panels are questionable. But the other two are huge red flags, no? These are two supposedly moonshot-type projects that have turned out to be outright lies:

- Hyperloop was a sort of snake-oil to squash High-Speed Rail

- The robot as a guy in a suit dancing on a stage ... I've no idea where he was trying to with that. I see there's been some movement on their robot since it was "launched", but why on earth did they start off with the weird dancing suit guy?
That's orthoganal to a realtime system. You can infer at a fair speed so realtime would be possible.
> What's wrong about old people?

Nothing is wrong with old people. That's not what I was trying to say but people in their 50s or 60s will not be working for much longer. I don't think there will be many people left working __on__ C++ and its tooling in 10 years.

> But nevertheless, that C++ doesn't attract new developers may have reasons indeed. C++ refuses to get substantially modernized. In the long run such a stance will attract less and less people I think.

I think there are some pretty nice additions in the recent standards but all the backward compatibility is definitely a problem for the development of the language.

C++ is basically a "do it all" language and it feels like newer languages have rather specific use cases which they excel in.

A Petals dev here. It is not real-time, but we think the speed of ~1 token/sec may be enough for some interactive apps such as chat bots (especially, if you show tokens to a user once they are generated). You can try one at http://chat.petals.ml (heads-up: it may be laggy right now due to lots of HN users trying out the system).

Of course, you could do better if you have enough high-end GPUs to host the entire model yourself (3x A100 or 8x 3090). But if you don't, 1 token/sec is much faster than what you get with other existing methods.

Higher order functions, currying, discriminated unions and using pipelines to start with. I guess all concepts are technically possible in C# but the language is not really designed for it.
This sounds (very narrowly) similar to the Enigma network, a blockchain-based technology that can be used for fully encrypted multi-party computation (MPC). It was one of the earlier blockchain projects that actually had an interesting use case and technology in this quite "overhyped" space. They rebranded to the Secret network [0] a few years back and somehow I don't find this use case/promise back nowadays...website screams all of the Web3 BS buzzwords it seems :(

> passes the kid Turing test

There exists an interpretation of that statement that makes it a tautology.

Edit: and/or makes it circular/symmetrical - "What is a "kid"" (a Turing test mis-labeller). A good AGI was required to be able to convince a panel - assuming an ideal panel, the usual simplification "employing" perfect agents in economic modelling -, and there now exist new means to conversely assess the panel.
I would suggest that if they can offer that as a discount, it may well reflect what cut they are taking from the restaurants sales. So not a 'loss', merely a failure to reap a profit on that sale.

I would further suggest that the sale price of the product is increased by a said amount.

Or we could look it up... (its 30%) To do this I asked Bing "how much does it cost restaurants on uber eats"

This was actually pretty amazing, as is the quote from the scientist at the university in Brno:

Anyone participating in the swarm is able to potentially log the tokens that get processed by their node. Obviously a security concern. Is there any way to implement homomorphic computing to securely process the tokens?

Anything they just want badly suffices to enforce control.
Sounds like labeling, tags, or some token in the filename could be used to distinguish this. The purpose of always creating an artefact is that it'll become habitual and then it is less likely that the meeting that halfway through becomes interesting has meeting notes.
Yeah, I noticed it being available for a day or so a while back, but didn't click... :)
What excites me about apple Silicon is this: performance that is roughly on par with competing x86 CPUs combined with ~5x lower power usage.

My M1 MacBook Pro can run full throttle on all 8 "performance" CPU cores for an hour without the fans ever spinning up.

This tells me that Apple could fit 32 performance cores in a laptop CPU, which is simply not possible with x86 (unless you severely compromise on the definition of "portable").

Is it OK to list myself as a Senior Dev/Eng Manager/Consultant?

I would have thought having multiple hats would be useful especially during a time of reduced budgets?

I feel like HR/hiring managers are generally quite superficial and make quick judgements. Is it better to be super focused just on one?

You can't level a playing field where students can just buy all the answers online and get the same degree. At this time a university does not function as proof of education. It's proof of elitism. That one is not too poor, and will take on a lot of debt and follow orders.

This isn't (that kind of) research, though. It's just morbid curiosity.

I would say... In a smart company, you would enjoy learning some* ObjC and Java while working on a React Native app. It can be tough, but at the end of the day, we nerd hackers know Python and C and Java and bits of C# and objC. If you have to dive into Native internals, it can be a really fun journey if your boss tells you to explore and research it carefully, but it can be really confusing if you on a tight deadline.

We already know all the basics about agriculture for example. Hardly any of the problems we need to solve to do agriculture in Antarctica are the same as the problems we need to solve to do it in Mars. The soil medium is different, the processing needed to make it useful for agriculture is different, the light levels are different, the atmospheric environment is different.

Ultimately Antarctica is so similar to, say, a mountaintop in the USA, or even a lab in a US city compared to Mars that I dont really see the added value. The unknown problems we will face on Mars are there on Mars, not here.

Will a city on Mars ever be viable, let alone self sufficient? I have my doubts, but there’s only one way to find out.

Are you writing this because it’s really interesting or because you’re a Rust promoter? Sneaking in comments about Rust in discussions about other languages is a classic guerrilla marketing move that the Rust community is known for.

Assuming the best intentions, one should think how misguided it is to look up to amoral entities like corporations as role-models. At a macro level, Google does what brings them money. At a micro level what brings the engineers promotions and improves their reputation.

They really do seem to be adding stock as and when they receive it, so just make a bookmark and check back daily.

What I like about Apple is that they have such a clear product lineup that it allows for speculation like this article.

On the other hand Microsoft's surface lineup makes no sense and is super confusing. That's true for Samsung as well. Even if these companies had the engineering capacity to make chips like M1; I doubt they would attract even a fraction of the media attention enjoyed by Apple.
Same here, although I only tried with Firefox and allowing it access to some basic sites. BUT it appears to want access to a ton of sites in the background, such as tiktok etc.
Maybe the problem is the way we average grades to get a GPA. If your course scores were 3.98, 3.99, 3.99, 2.10, the linear average of ~3.5 doesn't capture the obviously high ability. Perhaps taking the average like:

4.01 - exp(avg(log(4.01 - x_i)))

would capture high grades without such a heavy penalty for a flubbed course.
Sigh we need to just rename AI that does this Stupid Intelligence or something.
Had I answered that survey, I would have added a 0.1% or so to the sanitizers. Everywhere I've worked (now) runs sanitizers over the build.

> So the social aspect matters a lot, and we keep losing there.

Unfortunately.

For example, there's a "cmake" starter on github, that is everything including santizers, but it is, frankly, inaccessible to newbies that just want to learn C++ "from scratch". Compare that to... Rust. You create a new crate from the cli in one command, and then you never have to mess around with the build system. Or even java/kotlin... `gradle init`... and you're mostly done. C++? "Spends 15 minutes reading "build system X" docs...".
> I thought (from what I've read so far) that "no mutable state" is the definition of "pure FP".

It's much more nuanced than that, certainly no arbitrary and unchecked mutable state is. There are ways though of achieving mutable state whilst maintaining referential transparency.
I think we're battling on the same side, I was generally speaking about subject of the OP post, where people make one web mega-app for all platforms with the same views, achieving this kind of single-codebase ;)
Excellent effort, I've stared egui on GitHub a while back!

It would be fantastic to see a comparison in ergonomics/performance/capabilities/features against close competitors such as iced and conrod, as well as examples of real-world projects that use it.
We do have a better grasp, but we're still in the "trying various things blindly and see what sticks" stage and will be for some time...

> I can't see new people reaching to learn C++

I guess you wrote this while knowing very well that it's just whishful thinking. People will keep learning C++ for the foreseeable future, in order to reach the job market that this language opens up.

And if "people" in this sentence meant the companies using it, then again not a chance in the short term. Most companies using C++ have huge codebases that will only be ported to something different when it makes financial sense for them to do it (which is something that almost never happens for an already existing codebase)

>> You don't want to turn the clock in reverse. That's a disease state and a hallmark of cancer.

Well, you actually do want to turn the clock in reverse. That's a hallmark of the highest so far methodology standard in science: if you want to position that you gained a full understanding of an object, you need to be able to reverse engineer it both in space and time.
Many cancers contain senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and senolytic drugs have been researched to be able to neutralize cancer cells as well as senescent cells.

You do want to turn the clock in reverse, only maybe not the whole way back to the embryonic state, but a couple of formal years or decades back to reset the epigenome, and this is exactly what David Sinclair, Vittorio Sebastiano and many others are undertaking now.

A Petals dev here. Indeed, the public swarm should not be used for any kind of sensitive data (we have warnings about that in the instructions). If someone wants to process such data, we recommend to set up a private swarm among the orgs they trust (e.g., a couple of labs/small companies who don't have many GPUs themselves may set up a private swarm and collaborate to process their datasets).

Regarding homomorphic encryption (HE), I'm afraid the current methods to run neural networks in the HE fashion involve 10-100x slowdown, since they are mostly not designed for floating-point operations. We'd love to find a way to do it faster though, since privacy is obviously an important issue for many tasks.
Why are you having meetings that are useless? I can't imagine not having a meeting without some resulting document. Even the poorest meetings I've had have resulted in documents changing to reflect the shitshow.

edit: I don't think every meeting needs its own document though. If there's a meeting, it needs to be associated with some document(s) in some way which will change as a result. If it isn't, it should be cancelled, imo.
