Then you have a problem with having to update both the constants module and the service that depends on it to change the service, and you need to handle packaging and distributing the module. Maybe if you have a monorepo where those issues are moot...
Can anybody explain what is meant by „gradient“ in this context? Is this a way of speeding up the search for a desirable improvement of a pixel (or cluster) in each pass?
I'm not a Haskell user, but my experience with this in the Nix language is a bit mixed. It definitely works sometimes, but then you get a pileup of parenthesis nesting anyway, because the default is greedy and you have to control which functions get which arguments.

I'm sorry, but that's simply ignorant. They literally do this all the time. Counterfeit chips are everywhere.

That wouldn't be the motivation. Russia is desperate for chips. They'll use any they can get their hands on.

> If you sold ovens to an intermediary in 1941, and they sold them to a contractor who installed your ovens at Auschwitz, you'd really feel good about the money you made?

If I had zero reason to believe they'd make their way to Germany when I sold them to someone in town, I'd be sad, but I certainly wouldn't feel culpable.

In the case of Ukraine, pretty hefty sums of my taxes paid are being used to support them. I feel pretty OK with the balance of things there. Some thousands of dollars of microchips to Iran (unwillingly) versus tens of billions in weaponry and supplies to Ukraine (happily) maths out just fine.
All this can be mitigated with a small amount of battery in the vehicle. Essentially each streetcar is a BEV with battery only to go a few miles but is essentially recharged while on street power (with software to keep SoC in the 20-90% band).

Oh snap. Hoisted by our own petard!
I have the silliest "negotiation" style. I do my research on the person and the company.

If I like the leader and the company, when it comes to pay I just say to them: "I'd love working with you and I know you'll give me the best you can".

It worked out for me as I'm incredibly happy with my role.

That being said, the data is there, and if I had to do it again, I'd negotiate.
No judgement here, just posting on all the things that he has already said and my opinion on what is probably a poor PR image on him.
My mistake. As I said I only guessed based on a brief look at both homepages and the self hosting was not visibly advertised as an option when I had a look but I stand corrected.
That sounds way too strict to me. A C++ app might use the C++ ABI to communicate with its modules, which would preclude writing them in any other language without jumping through too many hoops. But that's an ABI constraint and says nothing about the actual modularity of the application.

IMO a module is defined as something that has a self-contained API, and versioning rules for that API if the module is evolving.
Yes, then I would expect 'First and 'Last with the obvious meaning, and something like 'Range which returns an iterator of all indices.
Fanet works over loraWan and here are the specs: https://github.com/3s1d/fanet-stm32
Figma was a strategic acquisition. You can't directly compare companies for acquisition.

Microsoft has invested in OpenAI and has a deal with them, Google has their own algos, Meta has their own algos. Who would acquire OpenAI and why would they pay so much? It seems like it would mostly be an acquihire and maybe getting ahead by 1-2yrs.

Is that really worth >$30B, especially given that interest rates are no longer 0%?

I also don't think your point about big tech firms having all the data makes sense. The transformer architecture that GPT is based on has been around since 2017. How did OpenAI create and scale GPT if they didn't have the data?

I think OpenAI is going to try and be the go-to platform for new AI companies rather than looking for an acquisition.
The habit of analog journaling – Why the digital format did not work for me
A little story about how I got into journaling the old way. Why digital didn't work for me and how I rediscovered my passion for writing.

This is not a self-validation story, nor is it trying to convince anyone about their way of being wrong. This is a story about me. :) And I hope an enjoyable one. Whatever works for you, dear reader is whatever works for you!

*Warning*: Light mode only on my blog, sorry. I'm working on it.
This is something you always say as start-up. It gets you good pr and possibly cheaper and idealistic engineers. Then you struggle towards your "mission" until you can sell out when the numbers get big enough. No one will not sell out when there are billions on the table.

Perhaps. But one only needs to look up to the original post to see that is not what we're talking about here. Busting of the ass for $25-30/hr plus overtime...not exactly getting wealthy here.
> roughly three classes of language features [...] 3. Quality-of-life features that aren’t too hard to add

I'd regrettably add another class, quality-of-life features which you'd have hoped weren't too hard to add, but because of past choices, now are.

Examples: Adding javascript-like dots a.b.c for Julia Dict's a[:b][:c] would conflict with "wasn't intended to be public but has been" Dict implementation fields, like .count . Adding { a,b | ... } instead of a less concise { |a,b| ...} for Ruby blocks, but for a yacc grammar conflict.
"Our algorithm isn't stupid, it's the literature which is wrong" is not something I expected to read today.
They were providing a partial example, "yield from" does not actually do what the original poster asks about, it merely proxies the inner iterable.

Yeah, industrial/institutional, high voltage, multi-phase, transformers, utility-level stuff e.g. generation and transmission, etc.
A lot of languages allow underscores in numeric literals. Something like 10_000. You can put them anywhere and they get ignored. I don’t know if they also allow it for hex numbers.
Yes I think spaces are just too tight, people would constantly bump each other. Or often there’s just not enough space to stow a scooter.

Figma is only worth that much because of Adobe's incompetence.

Companies in the same space as OpenAI are much more capable.
Interesting data. How do you calculate Runway Estimate?
Higher voltage = Higher wages
Or like this:

const int WAIT_TIME_MICROSECONDS = 42 * 1000 * 1000; // 42 seconds
Unfortunately, that survey doesn't seem like something that can be heavily relied on. For one, they only surveyed women. It's unclear if the men in the same household would give similar or different estimates. They also don't define what is meant by "influencing" a decision. When you try to go to the link to learn more about the survey methodology, the link redirects to https://breastfeeding-mom.com/ instead.

TTS tools exist on all computing platforms these days. The difference with this recent release is just that it sounds better. Apple would not be creating a derivative work, whoever uses it would be.

EDIT: It has occurred to me that they may have signed a deal as part of Apple Books that says they won't release tools of this nature. I don't know if that is the case, but that isn't the scenario I'm talking about. Just the case where there is a tool that can do high quality TTS. I do not believe that violates any copyright since it's a tool.
I can't find any reliable information on how they would perform going down a hill.

Learn the law in your state, figure out what forms you need to fill out yourself. I believe you file motions "pro se".

If you say you're as good as you are, figuring this stuff out for you should be easy, I understand the funk you're in.. but as you can see.. there are complete strangers rooting for you, and your family. Sometimes you just need to see things from a different perspective.
I'll take the momentary ambiguity in some cases (usually quickly resolved by line context and file name) over having to manually hunt down 5 different projects' inconsistently named constants to do 5 different greps any day of the week.

The ratio of power between labor and capital has swung hard toward capital over the past 30 years.

I think the number of people who become "wealthy" due to salary income alone is probably small and shrinking. You used to be able to buy a house in 12 months instead of 18 months if you worked overtime. Todays economics make it so working overtime lets you buy a house in 13 years instead of 17 years.
There have been a few adoption based studies that work to correct for confounders. Nothing conclusive obviously, but it's not like no one has thought of that stuff.
I agree with that, but ultimately how the transformer architecture is used in products is what's going to change things and create new value for humanity.
This probably works if a lot of your core code is not UI or presentation (dropbox sync, snapchat video filters). My guess is the shopify app is almost all presentation and their backend handles most of the heavy lifting and writing that in C++ is... not ideal

The places where you can easily clear more than $25-30 an hour as a waiter are also places with high cost of living and expensive housing. As a counterexample, in my area (a midsize city in a low cost-of-living state), restaurants universally suffered from sharp labor shortages last year. $25-30 an hour would let you live comfortably here, meaning they should have had a lot of applicants; therefore the money just wasn't there.

It's frequently used in signal processing to the point where it's considered one of the defining features of DSPs. One common case is filtering over a fixed size buffer of samples. If you have circular indexing, you can simply overwrite the earliest sample and increment the base reference to the next element.

I'm not sure I'd want it for every list, but there are certain places it's nice.

I don't understand who is getting paid $24 an hour when I paid over $125 per hour to get a sub-panel installed.

Could it be that after starting their own company, they found it difficult to hire additional journeymen at the rate of $24 per hour which they themselves had previously earned as a journeyman?

When everyone can get $125 an hour, there is suddenly a shortage of cheap labor! Big surprise.
Okay, that would confuse me. Looks very similar and easy to overlook.

> Python's `with`

It's very common already: try-with-resource (java), using (C#), bracket (haskell), unwind-protect (common-lisp), ... though it the latter two it's more of a building block.

Also building block: languages with a convenient and "unrestricted" syntax for anonymous function can just use that e.g. Smalltalk, Ruby, ... in Ruby a "with" is usually just passing a block to the corresponding object's constructor:

# python
with open(...) as f:
...

# ruby
File::open(...) do |f|
...
end
Yes, exactly. As it should be. If you don't want me to work elsewhere but also don't want me to work, that's on you to figure out. Compensate me adequately to do nothing or let me be. If companies are unwilling to do that, perhaps it's not a real concern.
> That does not mean that all adverse effects you experience at any point later in life is the cause of it

Correct.

But that's not the situation that people have with long COVID. The situation that they do have is that they test positive for COVID, they get regular COVID symptoms (loss of smell, brain fog, fatigue), that then don't go away after three weeks.

> Long term debilitating diseases happen to people very single day, and since there is quite a high percent chance of a person catching corona in that day as well

Except that it's not a high chance that on any particular day/week/month you're going to catch COVID, and an even lower chance that you're going to catch a completely unrelated, rare, hitherto unknown disease that has all the same symptoms, but is not COVID.

The intersection of these odds is even lower.

The rate at which people have long COVID symptoms has dramatically gone up since the start of the pandemic. You have an incredibly high hill that you have to climb to convince us that no, those symptoms are actually caused by some unkown unrelated mysterious thing that just happened to have affected all these people in the same week/month that they caught COVID.

If we release a bunch of tigers into the woods, and people going into the woods start mysteriously dissapearing, with the occasional discovery of a mutilated body covered in tiger shit, Occam's razor leads me to believe that the tigers probably have something to do with it. It's possible that there's another explanation, but you're going to have to do a lot of work to convince us of it. 'It could have been something else' doesn't meet that bar.
The downvotes should be a hint for you to re-evaluate your position and maybe look for logical errors. Instead you've doubled down and threw in some ridiculous piece of your worldview (that thing with wokeism) to shift the blame away from yourself to everyone around you.
Why would the card providers be in the customer's favor. The customer paid for a text to be delivered to a phone number and Twilio did that and then charged the customer for it.

OpenAI seems pretty different to DeepMind. DeepMind was exclusively a research lab, whereas OpenAI has been productizing their research.
Maybe. Maybe not. Regardless, correlation is not causation.

No, I can confidently say it's not. They'd need significant wired bandwidth to the node.

Yah I ran into that issue more in Julia. There's a built-in function to help find clashing functions.

In Nim however I've only had it happen a handful of times in a few years. Then you just need to use the module name to qualify it, or change your imports.

I think that the level of complexity to set it up is not far below and you would miss some features that you get out of the box with k8s:
- Proper monitoring of the health of the instances (simple load balancer health probes rely only on ports listening, which is quite brittle)
- Dynamic resource management I.e. does this vm have enough cores/memory to host this number of application instances
- Centralized/automatic port mapping. If your app listens on port 5678 for example, to be able to run more than one instance in a single vm you need to map it to different host ports and keep your load balancer configuration up to date with that.
Universities and former employers really pop out as something important, in a way I'd never fully grasped before.
> [In Chapel] there’s the config keyword. If you write config var n=1, the compiler will automatically add a --n flag to the binary. As someone who 1) loves having configurable program, and 2) hates wrangling CLI libraries, a quick-and-dirty way to add single-variable flags seems like an obvious win.
Letting people define configurable variables at their call site is incredibly valuable, even if you don't have compile-time support, and even if you're working on something not meant to be an isolated binary.

At my startup, one our most beloved innovations is that you can write `resolve_config("foo", default="bar", request=request)` pretty much anywhere you'd normally hardcode a value or feature flag... and that's it.

The first time it's seen in any environment, it thread-safely inserts-if-not-present the default value into a key-value storage that's periodically replicated into in-memory dictionaries that live on each of our app servers. Any subsequent time it's accessed, it's a synchronous key-value lookup in memory, with barely any overhead. But we can also configure it in a UI without needing a code redeploy, and have feature flags and overrides set on a per-user or per-tenant basis.

Sometimes, you don't need language support if you have some clever distributed-systems thinking :)

And my point is that this is way, way harder than looking out the window and noticing a radio tower perched on a hilltop that wasn't there before. It's far more clandestine to obtain security through obscurity even if it means operating in a network controlled by the authorities. Encrypted traffic looks like any other encrypted traffic. There's little to make a drug dealer stand out from other cell phone traffic, unless they're communicating over cleartext.

Trash collecting is a much more a cushy job in most cities these days. In mine they don't ever leave the truck. One guy drives, the other operates the hydraulic arm. If a piece of trash isn't in the bin or the bin is not grababble by the arm, they just drive away. A different team handles bulky items that are to be called in by the resident. Benefits include an actual pension.

I don't understand the link with parent, nor why + would be bad, besides a) because language is naive about concatenation / allocation, and b) if the language allows / doesn't differentiate between a char 'x' and an integer, bc that would result in an integer addition instead of a concatenation.

As far as I understand it, the only time trade secrets are protected is when they are forced to be revealed in court. If for example Zildjan cymbals is in a lawsuit, and discovery requires that they divulge their trade secret for making cymbals, then the court will issue an NDA for everyone that sees it, and seal the records. However, if a former Zildjan employee writes a book with the details, then there is no protection. Which is why they only limit the secret to family members. Fun fact, Sabian uses the same secret technique, because it is the same family.
I think the "any degree will do" mindset stems from the fact that so many, especially in non-technical fields, never really use their degree. Even my wife who has an engineering degree has spent more than two decades working and not a single day in a job that directly relates to her field of study.

Sure, she would have never gotten those jobs with an English degree but stressing over whether to study the exactly "correct" degree for your career goals isn't necessarily worth the calories.
