I replaced lapackc with eigen and it was largely performance neutral. But nicer interface and header only. Those benchmark charts seem to mostly imply blaze is better at fine grained parallelism. But I largely use threadpools with coarse grained parallelism for stuff like this. Still quite interesting, not sure why I haven't heard of it before. I'd like to see nalgebra in the benchmarks...

Then it’s worth substantially less than it trades for. (Also, it should lay off most of its staff, cut the remainder’s pay, and overhaul its business model.)

Amazon isn’t just a bookstore. That is the article’s point.

It’s worth everything to Wall Street, to the degree massive uptake numbers are already priced in.
GraalVM Native Image meets RISC-V
My kids hate the "quarter to four" construction because, in their words, it makes them do math in order to tell time. Which, of course makes me prefer it just to force them to get comfortable with it. I've even pointed out how 60 is nicely divisible by a lot of numbers, so we can say "a twelfth to 4" just to be a pain in the butt. :)
This is a nice integration at the Android layer, is it possible to do something like this on iOS?

How did you arrive at your pricing model?
I agree. At least when visiting on mobile, there’s too little basic information on what this even runs on, etc., making me leave the site without bothering further.
More meaning they would have felt wronged even before that.

In general I agree that it’s unreasonable. Discounts happen, prices change, we can’t always time purchases perfectly.
It's grotesque to deny the possibility that you're part of one big not even beta-, but alpha-A/B/C../X/Y/Z-test.

That aside, are the countless threads about bloat, insecurity, technical debt in software here counterproductive, too? Because that's just the way 'commercial reality' created by entrenched players is?
But programmer salaries already are bimodal, or even trimodal [1].

In code it's very easy to add your own errors/asserts which say "you dummy, you can't possibly fit these 3 things here the way you want" and then go modify your code so you can handle it the way you wanted. It's worth testing because when a test breaks you can modify it so the test passes.

In CSS you can't customize that latter half though, if the 3 things render wonky when they don't fit you just have to hope there is some way to tell CSS to render it the way you want. Sure, you can run a test that says it failed to create the layout you were hoping for... but you already knew that and test or no test your only hope is you can find some way to do it with the predefined options in CSS. And the fun part is sometimes there is no way! You may just have to compromise on how your layout works or push some logic to JS to change the styling so you can do something more akin to the normal code way (at the loss of performance and clarity).
Yep it’s absurd. Similar issue with transferring music to the device; I can drop MP3s on it but the music player is oblivious to them.

For photos I ended up scheduling a nightly SMB push to my NAS via a third-party app named PhotoSync.
I agree with your reaction. But for thoroughness, I accidentally left out a few cups of salsa a few years ago, intended for compost and I forgot to come back to them for a while, which attracted crows. I felt really awful that I might have left them something which could make them sick. Gratefully it was highly unlikely, as other comments mention they don’t react to capsaicin the way we do.

They’re still interested in leftovers and and general perceived offerings, so don’t leave stuff that you’re not certain are harmless. But spicy-to-you probably isn’t actually a torment.

And crows are smart. They just flew high enough to drop the accidental offerings on the ground and lose interest.

Anyway definitely don’t poison animals, but it’s also good to know when or whether you’re actually taking that risk.
What change occurred between 1991 and 2000 to explain the emergence of the bimodal distribution? Presumably lawyers have had paralegals for centuries.
What if Amazon is just an online bookstore? What if Apple is just a computer company? What if Google is just a search engine?

All these things are true except Amazon is mostly a cloud company and Apple makes the computers most people use for non work.

Eventually they will all be valued as such, but for a while mass delusion will continue to make them more expensive. You are probably too young to remember when Cisco was basic the internet company and valued as such.
I use OBS as recording tool with YouTube Live Streaming as target.

Even though I don't intend to publish every screen recording I make.

I set videos to private so that I just save the recordings as is first.

Very few, after edits, get published to public. I can create much more public content in my field if there was an easy way (like OP) to correct mistakes and redact some content.

This saves a ton of local storage space for me. More importantly all important stuff is backed up to cloud and readily viewable by me on any device anywhere. I am loving this (will Google let me push this into TBs of free storage?)

I really wish there was either a capability that allows me to "pause" the recording on a live stream :) or otherwise easily edit, redact YouTube recordings after recording. The tools provided by YouTube (I am not a paying customer) are very rudimentary and barely useable performance-wise.

Good luck OP. Do you have any OBS plug-ins of similar kind in mind.
Just to note, as middle aged person, the "who gives a .." might not be from a deeper wisdom due to age but cynicism.
I got one of these in order to also get a Coral. I’ve been testing Frigate, Viseron, and other NVRs for a few weeks. It performs pretty well and having QuickSync on it makes a big difference. Having built other similar spec systems in the past, I think what sets this apart is the form factor and the dual ethernet ports. Still feels overpriced, but it’s at least covering a niche use case.

Electronic Air Cleaning Equipment in Buildings (2021)
Haha, alright. I have a github profile

https://github.com/some-mthfka

I am not particularly proud of most of those projects. Many of them were strictly done for fun. Some of them I did because I didn't know any better.

The most sophisticated project I did was a game. You can grab it here for free:

https://ottrta.itch.io/ottrta

I don't promise it will bring you any joy, though. It was written in C++ and there's no code and there's only Windows binaries. Sorry, it was a few years back that I have published it. But, easily, that was the most interesting project I did, and the only usable one I have ever delivered.

Otherwise, I am just some motherfucker (you guessed it).

But you know what I believe? If you can think it, you can make it... That's all I want to say.
> D&D did a fairly excellent job adapting the story

For the first few seasons yes. Not so much in later seasons (even way before the books stopped). They also changed many things that were not supposed to, for unclear reasons.
Yeah I have that as well, as do the neighbors (several miles away lol).

But you need a blower or pump in order to circulate heat in a house. Hot water is better than nothing but it won't keep your fish from freezing.
I really think it simply depends on whether you're used to analog or digital. I actually learned to tell time by someone telling me that one side of the clock if the "past" side and the other is the "to" side (a little hand-wavey around 30-40 past). This made sense to me. What was important was the closest hour, and how many minutes (or fractions) past or to it was.

I taught my kids similarly. Starting with the hours, and then "half past" and then "quarter to" and "quarter past."

Only after all that was second-nature did I even explain to them the idea of 60 minutes.
Happy or less annoyed? I find when I was truly happy I cared less about external influences. For example, if it's hot, a person is annyoing, someone almost hits me with a car, or it my manager wants me to do something boring.

So maybe what some people think are the sources of their unhappiness is actually just making their unhappiness more obvious.
The level of effectiveness at preventing spread wasn’t known - that’s harder to measure - and since the protective effects were so strong there wasn’t an approval delay trying to get those numbers.

If memory serves, the subsequent data suggested that we could have reached herd immunity with something like 90% vaccination rates against the original strain. Delta and especially Omicron put paid to that, however, and closed any chance of most people being able to avoid infection.
My collaborators and I settled on Blaze for the linear algebra backend of a small physics library. We ultimately regretted it as there was no support or roadmap to GPU support.
> How much of your unhappiness is your job, or more so a function of having a continually growing list of responsibilities

I have none of the other, suggested, confounding factors. Quitting my last job was fantastic and 100% the best thing I could have conceived of to improve my life.

I also had a very similar sentiment re: cog+machine, although found it more of a combination of amusing and tragic (rather than unappealing).
Agreed, but this is a cultural issue, which has a lot to do with management constraints. I've worked at places where everyone is teaching everyone else at all times, and therefore where everyone grows, year to year. But in those places, there was very little practical competition among developers. They where either all consultants, or they expected their results to have more to do with team performance vs individual performance.

On the opposite situation, when programmers are stack ranked, or where it's otherwise clear that they should be playing zero sum games, nobody asks questions, and nobody answers them if they are asked. Tasks that are important enough to lead to chances of advancement are fought over. Everyone wants to build infrastructure for other teams, but using other team's infrastructure is admitting that they are going to get the up level and not you. In any of those world, every programmer is an island, and people get better far slower.

Only in the middle, where there are few incentives, one can change a culture from one side to the other. In those cases, it's easier the more senior you are: No better way to get juniors to ask for help when they see seniors asking for help in public. Many a senior engineer is not socially aware enough to try techniques like that though.

I've mentioned before, how I had to have done [to|for] me, that which I could not do for myself.

I was told "Go away, old man. No one wants you.", in, pretty much, those words.

Hurt like hell, but after I got over my sniffles, I learned to "lean into" my exile.

I just released a new kernel for the app I'm working on. I budgeted two months for it, but got it done -at much higher functionality than planned- in five weeks.

The difference in my development velocity and product Quality is nothing short of astounding.
Regional Vic for me, Daikin Alira X's installed in rooms about a month or two ago, and they've been great. Very energy efficient, and individual units in each room means we can match everyone's preferred climate -- even heating one room while cooling another! Main downside is that you need space for more inverter units outside.

They're pretty quiet, too. You can certainly hear the air coming out, but it's fairly quiet and certainly wouldn't be noisy enough to bother you over tv, work, or anything else.
So the maid replaces your keyboard instead. There is no security in this scenario, the only option is "don't use the computer".

Meanwhile, there is a really weird segment of "security people" that focus a whole lot about attestation and signatures and "secure boot" and the like but very little about what actually ends up breaking systems. Call it the Sony syndrome where you ship 15 layers of chainloaded bootloaders and security systems but don't bother updating the years old WebKit. Apple has it too, always money around for implementing another mitigation scheme in XNU but if you ask why nobody updated the outdated open-source PDF library embedded in their Objective C messaging program it's crickets.
BTW, Apple's version of Takeout is at privacy.apple.com. Once you log in, click on "Get a copy of your data".
It's not a misunderstanding of statistics, you just didn't answer the question. How can something be considered "safe and effective" when the majority of people dying have had the vaccine?

You're making the argument that you're better off with the vaccine than without it, and depending on your demographic cohort this is generally true (young males excluded). That's the question you answered, but it's not relevant to the question I asked. How can you call it safe and effective when most people dying are vaccinated? That's not very safe or effective.

The polio vaccine is safe and effective. MMR vaccine is safe and effective. This shit is neither.
I feel that your point isn't the whole story. Patreon seems to be financing a lot of creators nowadays.

Personally I feel more inclined to donate myself when I feel there is a reliable way for others to donate in unison with me, so that it has a chance to become substantial enough to make a difference. I think that's the value proposition of Patreon and Kickstarter.
Yes, i think this is the fundamental question (or disagreement). Is the right to using the work as training data something that needs to be granted by the copyright holder, or is implicit when granting the right to view the work?

My argument is that it is implicit - a human viewing the training data is allowed to learn from it. There's no reason to differentiate a human brain from a machine "brain" in this context.
These self-indulgent "I'm not happy with my high paying job" posts are getting pretty repetative and tedious. Most people don't actually work to get "fulfilled". I guess this must resonate as freedom-porn.
I think it will be more like airline pilots with the addition of autopilot. Maybe you could write whole services, and networks of services with AI, but you need engineers to be the guiding hand. Engineers will always be better at using AI to build systems than non-developers.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that AI is using existing data. If a new iOS API comes out, the AI will need code bases with it already implemented to be able to train with it.

So in my mind, it will hurt the junior developers doing grunt work more than general devs.

I think no code/low code products are more of a risk to hurting devs than AI.

Curious what others think that Apple should have done in this situation. Social engineering and providing stolen information is a tactic that's been around for years.

What are they supposed to do? Believe everyone that calls up with "I got locked out?"

I kind of wish that they had a way to lock possibly stolen accounts and allow people to verify their ID at an Apple Store or something, though.
I feel like my JS skills are way above average so I agree with you that if you have the chops then typing obvious stuff just wastes time. However, new developers or those unfamiliar with the ins and outs of JS need help to understand what are they working with. I also feel when a project gets really big/complicated then TS starts to help convey data structures but I think at that point TS becomes the documentation you should have been writing all along. However, the one thing I really don't enjoy about TS is when some library is typed it'll be very strict to the point that valid JS isn't allowed and the invocation of telling TS not to check needs to added for the segment which in turn looks like a code smell. Or the types get to meta-program oriented and I have to start inserting types everywhere instead of them being inferred.

I disagree. People should strive for a fulfilling job that allows them to express their identity. Just try not to be so picky that you end up with so few options.

The way I do it is slightly roundabout but works well — I sync to iCloud, which in turn syncs to my desktop, which I backup to my NAS from there.

Robots are making French fries faster, better than humans
‘This song sucks’: Nick Cave responds to ChatGPT song in style of Nick Cave
I totally agree with Cave here. This application of the technology is a bad, bad idea, it sucks the humanity out of creative writing, and it's really not helping artists to do this.

Authors have been writing about the corrosive effect of fan-fic for a long time. Nothing destroys the creative goodwill of an artist like being fed ideas by adoring Fans. Neil Gaiman (I believe) has said he begs fans not to suggest things to him: he can't use them, the story potential is destroyed the minute they do.

Cave is worth reading. Like David Byrne he has interesting takes on how music is made, what it is to be creative in this space, and bare your emotions to the world.
This brings back fond memories of ignoring my highschool math classes to make little graphics programs with the set pixel function.
> So the maid replaces your keyboard instead

Well, it's another level of sophistication, requiring some more investment?

Replacing a bootloader or a kernel (or initrd) and disabling Secure Boot is easy for just about anyone with 5-10 minutes access to a machine. A modified keyboard is less so.
I don't think there is anything they can do when someone is being held at gunpoint and told to hand over their phone and password.

Perhaps they could prompt users to keep local backups of their icloud data rather than pretending it's impossible to lose info in the cloud.
Not sure if this is a troll or a bot but I'll take the question seriously and answer it seriously. After all, this did occur to me at the time.

What convinced me that I'm not falling for Western propaganda? What it came down to was the following argument, and it has to be an argument and not a soundbite because in order to get beneath the propaganda we have to go deep.

- Many of Russia's claims against Ukraine are either true or have real elements of truth to them. Yes the founder of Azov is an avowed nationalist*. Yes, there have been laws passed in Ukraine that required greater use of Ukrainian language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_policy_in_Ukraine#201.... Yes, the parliament of Ukraine considered giving Hero status to Stepan Bandera, who is a controversial figure because (among other things) he did work with the Nazis in WWII. Yes, there was fighting in Donbas, and while I don't know about Ukraine intentionally shelling civilians, I can imagine that at least there were civilians killed as a result of Ukrainian fire in that area since 2014.

- None of these arguments rise to the level of necessitating military intervention.

- Russia did not take steps to de-escalate the conflict. There were so many things Russia could have done if it was genuinely interested in peace and friendly relations with a sovereign Ukraine. If you're worried about persecution of Russians in Ukraine, make it easy for them to get to Russia. If you're concerned about fighting, use your status as a UNSC member to call for a peacekeeping mission. Russia did none of these things.

I could go on, but the main argument is that when you look past the emotionally charged arguments, the substance and the necessity of military action just aren't there. Bandera's quite a character, but put his history aside for a moment and ask yourself what's his relevance to the current conflict: Yushchenko awarded him hero status in 2010. Yanukovich cancelled this a couple months later. In 2019 Ukraine's parliament took up the issue and decided against giving him an award. And Russia wants to send in soldiers for that? Because they considered him for an award and rejected the idea?

* He (Andriy Biletsky) is quoted as having said something about "lead the white races .. against Semite-led untermenschen" but the Guardian article that makes the claim provides no citation.*

The linear-algebra provides a usability layer to April (an APL compiler). The geometry is just geometry with intersections (Its pretty cool in that it has planes, infinite sections, etc).

You are right, I will update that page with more explanations on the particular subsystems.
I think we’re on the same page here. You are discussing that individual lives are valued at various numbers. I’m pointing out that when deciding whether to implement safety mitigations, the government will in practice use a single value. From the link you posted:

“Prevention of an expected fatality is assigned a single, nationwide value in each year, regardless of the age, income, or other distinct characteristics of the affected population, the mode of travel, or the nature of the risk.”

I think reasonable people can disagree on whether it ever makes sense to use multiple different VSLs for different types of person. I happen to think that those kind of adjustments do more harm than good. But it’s all (literally) academic — actual policy is set based on a single VSL.
