Wow, how is this behavior tolerated/allowed? Aren't you basically cyber-bullying at this point? Do I need to like... report you to a moderator or something? Would really not want to waste their precious time but like... how else can I get you to stop/leave me alone?

I was trying to prove (in a conversation how crypto isn't trustworthy) that some people commonly believe 1. the government isn't perfect in terms of being trustworthy (especially when it comes to money) and 2. neither can Wall Street.

I’m not sure that is a real distinction. Astrophysics is a subfield of physics, and these men were physicists who dealt cosmology.
You know it’s funny that you mention that. I switched to really high end eggs that taste delicious. They were $8 a dozen in 2020 and have stayed at that price.

There must be something that they do different in their business that makes these eggs less susceptible to the problems the other egg producers are having.

Nice final result but I would have skipped the PWM detour. PWM sucks and has known bad aliasing issues. Sigma-Delta (AKA "1-bit DAC") is error diffusing, cost the same to implement, and should always be preferred IMO.

A lot of "tricks" from the past were accommodating the slow processing powers, but if you are driving this from, say, an FPGA, you there's no reason for not just doing the best thing.

One thing I didn't see mentioned: the reason this all works is because the liquid crystals don't turn very fast so effectively they are providing a filter that implements the gray-scale output from a binary input. What I'm curious about is if this is a linear process. Based on the PWM result it looks pretty linear.
When it comes to software, consumer grade software used and tested by a billion people is always going to be more reliable than some niche commercial grade software created by a contractor.

We're on half acre and do a flock of 6 in an enclosure behind the shed. My main piece of advice is get all the infrastructure before the birds. Pay someone to build you an enclosure. Hardware cloth, NOT poultry netting/chicken wire. You need a few nesting boxes and a dry roost for them to sleep. Look up "deep litter method". Woodchips are free, high carbon bedding chicken poop is high nitrogen. The result is incredible compost. Anyway gl.

It is, in fact, much safer to be alive today than any other point in history. And a much lower chance of dying from violence due to other humans.

I am experimenting with a smart RSS reader that gets your opinion on everything it shows you (like Tinder) and applies content-based filtering.

The technology to do this existed circa 2000 but I’d never seen anyone give it a serious try. One reason for that I realized is that, for a centralized service, you can get better recommendations based on other people’s preferences.

Assuming you have a huge user base, users will perceive a collaborative filtering interface learns better. My current classifier takes 20 or 50 judgements to start to understand that I like news about the NFL but I don’t want to see articles about that other kind of football.

The content-based model produces a good relevance score (“do I care about the topic?”) but it has no indication of quality apart from that. (Consider how Google is ranking both on query-document match and a quality score.). One input to my system is computer science papers on arXiv and it shows me more papers on ML than I can possibly read, never mind seriously comprehend the abstract in all cases. The relevance score does a great job of vanquishing theoretical CS papers I can’t stand but I wish I saw the 30 best ML papers and not the 30 most tropey. It is gratifying when it shows me papers about how to build this kind of classifier!

After all this I have a lot more respect for collaborative filtering despite how dangerous it is socially.
I can offer what much younger me was once told by a senior engineer:

1) With respect to not having whitespace: "Not everyone is as smart as you, and you need to ask yourself, do you want junior engineers working on your code to keep bothering you asking how things work, or would you rather your code by easy to read (and commented) so that they can pick things up on their own?"

2) With respect to complexity: "We are expected to build products that align with business objectives. New and experimental code belongs in your home lab and on your GitHub, not in a production environment."

Depending on how things go with #2, maybe offer to let the engineers spend 20% of their time working on lab projects to improve their product, with the understanding being that the rest of the time they are expected to build products with a minimum of complexity.
I dont have a problem with a for profit solution based on anecdotal evidence. You could level the same criticism at anything. What the CEO did wasn't good, but there are tons of examples of public servants, news outlets, and even non-profits grandstanding and fearmongering too.

The ideal application would strip away the BS and just provide data access. I dont care if it is non-profit or for profit.

What I really don't agree with is the sentiment expressed in this thread and others that individuals shouldn't have access to this data because they are too fragile or stupid to handle reality.
> The proposed change typically does indeed make the system objectively better, and they're the one taking responsibility for doing the work and ensuring its correctness. But the overall system becomes a little more brittle, and a little harder to reason about, two things that are much more difficult to measure than memory and power.

I work with a lot of people like this, and the key is to bring them to the realization that making a system objectively more featureful or capable does not necessarily make it objectively better: simplicity has value too. One of the key attributes of an embedded system is its longevity. If they want to make something complicated and they're the only person who will ever need to debug or understand it, that's fine, they can make it as complex as they like. But if you need a bus factor greater than 1, or work with other people, they need to design it with other people using it in mind.

Any engineer can make a complicated thing to solve a complicated problem. But the mark of a great engineer is that they can make a tool to solve that complicated problem that's simple enough for anyone to use and understand. A quote that I've often appreciated is this one from Brian Kernighan (the "K" of "K&R C", as I'm sure you and your engineers recognize):

> "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it."

I like to look at this, substituting the "you" who has to debug the problem in the present moment with an unknown engineer 5 years in the future with a non-working thing picking up the scraps of your work from today... How much smarter and more familiar with the problem do they have to be to figure out why your code isn't working anymore? Will such a person exist?

If this is partially an ego/respect problem, as it stereotypically often is, they'll hopefully recognize that someone 2x smarter than them probably will not be available. Another frequent stereotype of these engineers is that their creative appetite prefers building to maintaining, if you force them to maintain their creations because no one else understands or can read what they did, you may be able to encourage them to document, format, and design their code in ways that they will hope will reduce the amount of time spent on support down the road.
At the risk of getting dinged, I have a hard time thinking this is a real article.

Example 1: Changing `s` to `displayScore` doesn't fix the problem the code is using `p1`, `p2`, `p1N`, `p2N` AND defining a new `p`. WITH multiple ternaries and 3 mid-function returns.

Example 2: Reasonable, but now you have two functions with similar signatures. Reducing the number of indentation is always good.

Example 3: Creates ANOTHER layer of indentation. Without add'l context the code looks like it could be reduced to a series of inverted conditions with happy/golden-path style sequential if-s instead of 5 indentation deep.

Example 4: Pet peeve and chided by a lot of linters. Empty blocks are generally frowned upon. (You say: "If not equals DO" not "If equals don't do anything ELSE")

Example 5: Good in the context of testing, annoying in that it is a function with a single line. You'd probably be better off stubbing the User class all together. I mean you're already providing a User-type object.

Example 6: Great, 10/10 love it. Would remove the {} and just toss the Throws on the if-statement line itself but that's personal taste.

Example 7: Not awful, but I like to front-load my variable declarations so you can get error-handling out of the way at the start of the function then use those variables to do the computation later. More up front about saying: "Here are the items I will use later in this function"

Example 8: Probably not a simple refactor. If you aren't going to update all the locations in which an "Amount"/"Currency", you're creating an artisanal class for a single use.

Elutherai?
I think you have to set expectations based on how much of the ground you're ripping up. If you're adding some layers or some little tweak to an existing architecture, then yeah, going backwards on cifar-10 is a failure.

If, however, you are ripping out backpropagation like this paper is, then you get a big pass. This is not the new paradigm yet, but it's promising that it doesn't just completely fail.

No... it's less clear too. The verb is never isolated from the rest of the sentence by a comma, but a list of nouns will be isolated by commas, even if the conjunction is missing for brevity in a title. Separating "returns" like that makes it appear even more to be a noun, which is the thing that the original comment was confused by. Correct interpretation of the title relies on the reader realizing that it is a verb in this context, and the comma does not help with that.

Given the ongoing mess with the AMD 7900 XTX GPU vapor chambers, I initially interpreted the title to mean there was some problem with AMD laptops, so System76 was offering returns only for those laptops with AMD chips. That is not the case.
That assessment doesn't fit the reputation of the software that runs in most government departments including public transportation departments
Sort of but also not really: performance per watt is not the complete measure of improvement, you need to look at "performance, per watt, per wasted watt": If your high performance CPU uses 75W just to stay powered on, then its almost certainly not an improvement over a slower CPU that burns through less energy just to power the cores at all.

For example, let's contrast the 13700k to the ancient 7920X. The 13700K benchmarks to 47106, with a TDP of 250, a performance per watt of 188. Compare that to a 7920X, which benchmarks to half that at 23607, with a TDP of 140W, a performance per watt that's less than 170. The 13700K is clearly an improvement if we stopped there!

Except we don't, because the wasted watts matter a lot: the 13700K needs 75W just to power its cores, whereas the 7920X needs 50W. Adjusting our performance per watt to performance per watt per wasted watt, we get 2.5 for the 13700K, but 3.4 for the 7920X. That old CPU is a lot better at turning energy into work.

The 13700K is unquestionably a higher performing CPU than the 7920X, and I doubt anyone would object to calling it a much, much better CPU, but it's very hard to--with a straight face--call the newer CPUs an improvement in terms of energy consumption. CPUs have gotten quite a bit worse =)

LinkedIn is probably not the culprit.

I locked down my shit and was still having recruiters contact me with old info so I started asking the recruiters where they were getting my info from.

They bought it, from little shitty bump in the night data brokers who were reselling old LinkedIn data dumps. Which explained why many of them had old info on me.

I have been going after my profile on many of these brokers. Generally with success but in many cases it meant having the lawyer send them a nastygram.

I also explained to the recruiters the data they were buying was old linkedin data. Hopefully that also screwed over some of the brokers.
Weird, my experience has been the precise opposite. I've gotten far more interactions on Mastodon than I ever did on Twitter, especially if I make sure to tag my posts appropriately. YMMV, I guess.

All of them are robots in my book. Robot is a technical term, and technical terms need precise definitions.

While I see the point that laypeople might not be convinced, I'm fine with that. I don't think redefining the term is actually useful for people who design and build robots. I'm not a roboticist, but I'm sure they already have various terms to denote varying levels of autonomy and active perception.
Yes. I was in the habit of not taking weeks off, so I started taking Fridays off during the summer/fall months. It worked out fine except that I missed out on many social (still online) events that tend to happen on Fridays. So I tried taking Mondays off but that shortened my working week too much and taking a week off when my motivation runs low is what I do now.

How does this guy have two parents who are law professors and do things like this? And his various interviews!

No lawyer would tell him that’s a good idea. Just shut up! Maybe he’s still in his rebellious-teenager, parents-are-always-wrong phase?

If on the other hand he knows there’s no way to avoid serious time he should just plead guilty and go for the best deal he can get!

This is so mystifying.

Agreed. I have a friend who lives in a quiet suburb of Dallas who feels like he needs to have a gun in the house to protect his family. I live in an urban neighborhood in Philadelphia. By comparison my neighborhood has WAY more crime of all types. But if I take a walk around the neighborhood I can wave to ~10 people I know by name. I'm not afraid in my "high crime" neighborhood. We've both lived in our neighborhoods for more than 10 years.

In this case the Tesla stopped because of what you might charitably call a breakdown. This would probably get you out of the dangerous driving conviction but if it happened multiple times would probably result in a recall on the vehicles to fix or disable the faulty part.
I don't have a perception for how long a mile is nor any knowledge that would decompose it into a smaller subunit. It was not taught or discussed at any point in public school.

Sure, but that's besides the point. The article talks about the peak current, why would you want to talk about the current gradient here? Not that the current gradient can not be important, it will determine how quickly the processor can change the clock frequency, but this seems to just be the same confusion that often happens between energy and power.

EDIT: Just out of curiosity I looked up what voltage regulator slew rates for modern processors are, and it seems to be on the order of 100 A/µs, in case someone is interested.

You really have to do your homework with the new AMD processor rebranding. It's super easy to think your getting the latest and greatest, only to end up with Vega 2 graphics like the 5000 series from years ago. I had to whiteboard it to keep it all straight myself.

When I look at AMD's new mobile lineup for 2023, and I didn't notice anything "new" in the U-series power profile (15 watts tdp). I'd be more than happy with a 6800U in linux friendly packaging.

Let me know if you think there's a specific 7000 series chip I've overlooked.

P.S: about the system 76 teaser itself, the static picture used as a "before and after" comparison for 60hz display vs 144 hz display is comedic gold.
Lattice might be an actual instance of a business whose growth was commensurate with demand ("revenue has grown by five times since the start of the pandemic"), but you'd have to imagine that a lot of other tech companies grew for the sake of growth enabled by ZIRP and pandemic hype for tech. There were a lot of valuations based on unrealistic future projections that seemed untethered to reality.

Maybe Lattice did the right thing, given the circumstances, but surely not all of the other headcount-exploding companies did. It seems like a copout to blame it all on ZIRP going away and not actual corporate leadership.

And yes I understand fiscal environments might compel said leadership to pursue that path, either as a game theory thing or because boards and investors agitate for it. But it still seems wrong to blame it all on the Fed and not bear any responsibility.
I'm in the process right now of changing jobs for the same reason. The company has been losing employees left and right because of this.
> Have you ever seen some sheet music, a schematic, or an equation and thought it would be more clearly expressed as a paragraph of English text? Those are meant to be read by humans too.

Every subject that invented each of these formats would disagree with you except for maybe sheet music (but we still use natural language heavily in music education). Do we learn how to interpret schematics, equations, and so on simply by interacting with them directly? It's possible but rare. These formats are consumed by humans, but they are definitely not native to us. To some degree written text isn't either, but it's much closer to speaking than any of these formats is.

I can understand your second point, but also it can be done in better ways than the two examples we were forced to start with. I'm not saying we do/don't have to abstract everything. But if we just want "names" or to know which arguments are what in a one line piece of code a comment is perfectly fine. Obviously as complexity grows we want more of what you are saying, but so far all we were dealing with is essentially a list of three values. And for that I just think two extra classes is too much. Maybe I'm arbitrarily being a minimalist, it's subjective.

If I had it my way java lambdas would be better and all of this would look so much nicer :)

I have one (the previous one with AMD Ryzen 5700u). I've been using it for work the last 6 months coming from an 2015 macbook. Its been great for developing. The battery lasts pretty well (forgetting my power supply when working from home I got almost 7 hours), its fast (I've done some genetics blast runs which take hours, where those extra cores really help). Its pretty quiet too (you can hear the fan when it spins up, but its very reasonable). Returning to a Mat screen has been nice.

I really like AMD on the notebook. Compared to my 4 year old Oryx pro (intel 8th gen), which had poor battery life (esp when using the Nvidia graphics) and required a reboot initially if I wanted to switch to intel graphics. This one is much nicer, but it won't game nearly as well as one with dedicated graphics.
