Off topic, but...

Why do you put "environment" and "pollution" in quotes? My guess is you don't believe, or mean to convey that you believe, that these are phony concepts or issues, but that lower income people treat these as someone else's concern.

I find this linguistically interesting. Someone could write a paper about this. Perhaps someone has.
I want a meaningful commit history, that actually enables me to find the useful commit message. My coworkers often create PRs where the branch itself contains merges and a lot of bad commits that are not centered around a single piece of functionality or activity (like formatting, refactoring).

I try to have them clean it up but often the best thing I can get is a squash.
I just started using NetworkX a few days ago and was trying to figure out a way to find all paths in a DAG from a source node to a destination node, with the requirement that no path is a superpath of any other path.

I ended up writing my own approach that iterates through all pairs of paths but have been bothered since then that I couldn’t find a function in NetworkX to do this; I’m sure it probably exists but I don’t know the right terminology to search for it. Anyone know what this function might be called?

Like I said there are a handful of well known exceptions. Alcohol is perhaps the best known, gambling is another one. A handful of subjects that the church cares about institutionally out of the universe of legislation is hardly enough to characterize the state as a theocracy.

The generally conservative inclination of Utah voters even less so. It is well known that conservative voters in Utah quite often are outspoken in ways that run directly contrary to the church's lobbying position. Immigration policy is a good example of that, and also an extremely good example of legislators not just voting any way the church lobbies them to.

The last time major immigration policy changes were made in the state they passed a bill that made it more illegal to be an unauthorized immigrant in the state than they were before, where the church implies it doesn't really want any immigration enforcement at all. Needless to say its more conservative members generally disagree on that.

It is true however that most members and the church as well prefer not to have brothels and bars on every street corner, and don't want to legalize casino gambling across the state either.

The idea that the church could announce a position on the state budget, or criminal law enforcement, or even the way water rights should be reformed and have LDS legislators just vote like they were on puppet strings is hopelessly naive.
LLVM and Linux are done by 20 something? Just curious. I also think one issue with these comparisons is the breadth of tech stacks. It was easier to kick-start a JavaScript framework when Backbone JS came to be. But now given the competition, you need to have 8+ years of experience to contribute anything meaningful. This locks most of the young people from doing such stuff, even if they can have deep Buddhist focus.

Even your Level 5 domain is dubious as I've written before. Jim would drive in a blizzard, some Level 5 car refuses to drive in a blizzard. Is the car faulty by this definition or is Jim a lunatic ? I think it's probably Jim.

I think Level 4 is clearer because it's closer to public transit. Somebody else (the machine) is driving, so if I'm day dreaming, or indeed asleep, nothing bad happens. I can listen to tunes, have an argument with someone, breast feed a baby, whatever, the driver is driving the car, I'm just a passenger.

As I understand it, there's no reason you'd need a Driving License to ride in a Waymo for example. Waymo is driving, you're in the back like a cab, why would you need a license?
Granted it looks great. But unfortunately it had to sacrifice somce aerodynamics for it. The outgoing model had a Cd of 0.24, while the new model has 0.27.

From the article:

> Either your password has sufficient entropy to resist brute-forcing, in which case it is already probably a cryptographic key, or it doesn’t – in which case it will eventually be cracked no matter how many iterations you apply to it.

What a weird thing to say. The vast majority of passwords, probably even the majority of "password1234" passwords, won't be cracked. Whatever they are guarding are just not worth even the minor effort of checking "password1234".

The corollary is most of the time you don't need 128 bit security. You just need enough security to make it not worth the effort. PBKDF2 does raise the bar on that effort by a few bits. That is is worthwhile, which seems to be the reverse of what he is saying.

In the end 128 bits is not much more than a short cut. If you have less that 128 bits, you have to weigh up the value of the data you are protecting versus the effort of getting more entropy. But at 128 bits you can stop weighing up and just assume there will be a weaker link in the chain.

An interesting outcome of the nanoGPT repo is this struggle to exactly match the Chinchilla findings[0], even after discussing it with the authors.

A larger discussion is that the scaling laws achieve loss-optimal compute time, but the pre-training loss only improves predictions on the corpus, which contains texts written by people that were wrong or whose prose was lacking. In a real system, what you want to optimize for is accuracy, composability, inventiveness.

> In some ways, rewriting a piece of software is the best way to understand it deeply, and/or to uncover the gaps in one’s understanding.

Fine, so long as your rewrite is not checked in. Otherwise, this approach will surely lead to chaos when prior developers who figured it out now have to re-learn your version, resulting in the exact problem this article is addressing.
Maybe not by USB standards, yet plenty of chargers have no problem using other protocols to negotiate e.g. 9V charging. My Pixel 6 Pro for example negotiates 9V charging from USB-A ports that support it.
I'm aware of that site guideline; most articles aren't specifically advising on UI choices though.
Oops, for a minute I thought I was elsewhere. Well they can contact me by giving me their info there.
Tamagui really aims to solve this problem and some of the usability problems of className by putting style props directly on the props. You can nest components and abstract them as you want and still get the Tailwind style shorthands except as TS typed tokens.

No worry about how you reference things or static-ness etc and the final output can be flattened down to just div + css even across module boundaries or when nesting multiple times.
To me it seems more respectful for anthropologists to study everyone, not just people in pre-literate communities.
Tip for the future: If you click on the time stamp of a comment, you'll see (perhaps only for accounts over a certain age and/or karma, I can't remember) additional things to click - "flag" on a currently live comment, or "vouch" on a currently dead comment.

When seeing a dead comment that doesn't deserve to be, click into it and then click on "vouch" and the comment can be brought back to life without needing dang to get involved. Of course one vouch may not be enough on its own, but hopefully others will do also.

Tailwind shines when paired with a component based library such as react. If you’re repeating the classes all the time, perhaps create a component for that.
It is interesting, could you say more on how old were CD-Rs that failed and what percentage roughly failed? Also how were they stored? I hear a lot of this information, but personally my experiences are diametrally opposite.

I've never used cdrs to store really important data, I have all this on hdds, but about 30 20 year + old CDRs I recently found in my storage (stored in a dark cold - sometimes wet basement) are all fine. Same with hard drives that haven't been touched for the same amount of time.
CSS is fine, arguably even good these days. For every new feature in CSS, such as the is, has, not selectors, Tailwind needs to reimplement them in its own way, basically becoming a DSL in the process.

I mean, look at the syntax for something like this:

[--scroll-offset:56px] lg:[--scroll-offset:44px]
You can easily create customized performance reviews by providing feedback points, areas of strength, and areas for improvement. You have the option to select the desired tone, and even generate reviews in various languages (from English, Spanish, ... to Chinese or Japanese).

mostly agree.

If I feel underpaid, I'll do the strict minimum to not get fired and spend my energy looking for another job.
It's definitely excessive. Realistically, an efficient internal recruiter should be hiring a minimum of 20 people per year to justify their role. If Zapier are planning on at least doubling their headcount, then a team of 40 makes sense.
My example was within components. Even inside components it's just visual clutter, hence the abstraction I mentioned.

The photos in that article might not be of a real chassis design. If you look at the recent test drives of actual cars in the US, e.g. here [1] or [2], the design is a more conventional S-class type.

The prototype design looks much more sleek to me, but I'm not a car guy, and I think all modern cars are ugly.

Just because someone uses a technology, doesn't mean it's good. I could point to plenty of sites still using first versions of Angular. Is it workable? Yes. Is it good?

Also, I'd skip youtube as an example. No idea what incentives they had internally to re-write everything in web components, but they (and the web) paid dearly for it:

- Youtube was re-written in v0 of Custom Components. Which was deprecated as soon as they re-wrote it. Chrome couldn't remove v0 from the browser until Youtube was re-written (undoubtedly at great expense) with v1 four years later

- The polyfill for v0 was famously extremely slow in Firefox. Given that Youtube is one of the most popular websites (if not the most popular), you can imagine what it did to Firefox's image.

If you have an extra billion of dollars for such shenanigans, sure, knock yourself out (especially if it helps to cripple your competition).

Also IIRC GitHub is using React as well now, but I can't find the relevant link and discussion right now.

That's the thing - you're not. Once engaged, Mercedes takes liability, so you're no longer responsible.
> so you can do things like partial library upgrades when there's breaking changes. Large migrations like python 2 to 3 wouldn't take O(10yr).

That wouldn't quite work, though, as Python 2 and 3 have mutually-incompatible ideas of what a sequence of bytes (string/binary) is; Unison solves the problem of references to code, but apparently not what happens when identically-typed data has different meaning between versions. At least, that's not answered in the video.
Such corporate structure is very common in Japanese big company because of how salary decided. Salary was basically decided by age (but it's changing/changed now). Some division like developing (for non-software company), QA, support, are often separated from main company to make salary table different.

On the contrary, in this thread we are are mainly talking about that.
> A UI library for React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, whatever... Imagine being able to have a component library that works with any of them (or none of them).

You don't need web components for that. You need https://open-ui.org (started, of all people, by Microsoft). Unfortunately Google et al are too busy sinking hundreds of millions of dollars and countless man-hours into web components (with no final goal in mind and increasingly arcane and complex workarounds for their deficiencies) to be interested in this.

> but I remain a bit puzzled why there's so few players in the space.

In which space?

In UI libs for the web? There are thousands, all busy re-implementing the same dozen-or-so primitive controls.

In UI libs for web components? Because they are a badly designed tech that still requires you to reinvent the same dozen-or-so primitive controls and combat the issues of styling, a11y, no SSR etc. that they bring.
I used to share these articles like crazy back when I had health anxiety. When you have obsessive thoughts about illness/death, the promise of miracle cures becomes extremely comforting.
Catholic art got a lot more explicit highlighting suffering as a response to Protestantism. I remember studying this in art history.

From wikipedia:

The Council of Trent proclaimed that architecture, painting and sculpture had a role in conveying Catholic theology. Any work that might arouse "carnal desire" was inadmissible in churches, while any depiction of Christ's suffering and explicit agony was desirable and proper.

The problem is that some (maybe most) of those "old culture" people are also the ones keeping the current organisation going (in whatever state that might be). I've seen this in several organisations - staff representing the old order who had been with the organisation for years (or even decades) are got rid of. And because there's a feeling it's better to rip-off the plaster quickly - you get rid of multiple people at the same time. And then things start to go wrong.

It still helps if you're not actually using passwords.

I use a Mooltipass (https://www.themooltipass.com/) loaded with keys generated with pwgen -s 16 (fully random, alphanumeric, 16 chars)

That seems to give about 95 bits per password, plus 18 brings it up to 113, which I think is not bad at all.

I'm pretty sure I can count on my passwords not ever being cracked by brute force. Anybody stealing a password database will have time and effort constraints, and will likely be happy with just cracking the easier set.

If a government wants my stuff it's much easier to just convince the service provider to give them the data directly.
Claimed here, so this is presumably the reference (355 GPU Years):

https://lambdalabs.com/blog/demystifying-gpt-3

"We are waiting for OpenAI to reveal more details about the training infrastructure and model implementation. But to put things into perspective, GPT-3 175B model required 3.14E23 FLOPS of computing for training. Even at theoretical 28 TFLOPS for V100 and lowest 3 year reserved cloud pricing we could find, this will take 355 GPU-years and cost $4.6M for a single training run. Similarly, a single RTX 8000, assuming 15 TFLOPS, would take 665 years to run."
All my colleagues pronounced it as if it were a Spanish/Portuguese word.
Conceptually, Cython is mainly for accelerating Python code, and can _also_ access C code. Meanwhile CFFI is specifically for calling C code and nothing else. I recommend the video for the differences.

One concrete thing that pops to my mind is that Cython doesn't support Py_LIMITED_API which means that you need to ship a lot more binary wheels. At least the issue is still open (https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/2542) and Cython projects IME need new wheels for each minor Python release. Compare that to cffi projects that (musl & pypy aside) only have to ship wheels for one Python version / architecture: https://pypi.org/project/argon2-cffi-bindings/#files

As models get bigger less and less neurons get activated by any given input. If you can somehow predict which neurons get activated you can skip the vast majority of the computational load. I have read a paper where they argued that only 0.5% of the neurons are actually active in a 200 million parameter model so you can get a 200x improvement just from that.

What this tells you is that there is very little money in optimizing deep learning and that NVIDIA has made it very easy to just throw more hardware at then problem.

It's not really a pitfall as much as it not being magic. It does the job it was designed to do. It can't magically make "password" a good password.

I think the greatest strength here is large password databases -- if somebody nabs a million logins to Paypal or similar, then such measures slow down the speed at which accounts can be broken into, give time for the service provider to notice and react, makes it very unlikely for people with good passwords to be compromised, and probably completely protects nuts like myself that use fully random 16 character passwords.

Yeah, some accounts will still be broken into, but it'll take more work and reduce the damage.

It's really nothing as elaborately intelligent as it may sound.

Just that the experience of a movie or series can be good/bad for entirely different reasons for me.

A really serious scene like Joe Pesci getting upset in Goodfellas [1] makes me smile because of how the tension of the scene keeps building, despite being a very serious scene (and not being funny at all although actors in the scene are laughing).

Watching Anthony Hopkins in the Restaurant scene of Westworld [2] deliver so much more than just the content of his dialogue is just stunning for me to watch, while for others it might just be a scene like many others.

Or even more basic, I already have to laugh just watching Gavin Belson in the series Silicon Valley, just because the character is crafted to be such an awful tone-deaf person...

In theory, yes. "Hogwild!" is an approach to distributed training, in essence, each worker is given a bunch of data, they compute the gradient and send that to a central authority. The authority accumulates the gradients and periodically pushes new weights.
