Result: For clarification, do you mean:

1. Largest number of investments?

2. Largest total dollar amount invested in 2022

3. Largest dollar amount of new investment in 2022?

4. Something else

User: option 3

Result: Okay, here are the results and query I used.
As someone with a mvn-built Spark Streaming to Delta Lake project in Scala open in IDEA right this moment I find this article hugely depressing. I love every single technology I just mentioned but the sheer proposed scope makes me think it ain't gonna happen. The momentum is lost completely.

* IDEA works for Scala just fine but I wouldn't object to more refactoring features ported from the Java world

* the Akka debacle was enormous and made me think Scala is not viable anymore outside of the Spark/Flink/Kafka circles

* mvn needs a newer frontend/DSL but it's light years ahead of the SBTs/Gradles of the world otherwise

* WAScalaM seems to be the only alternative platform that is forward-looking enough to make sense

* FP has its place but the multi-year emphasis on it has damaged real-life adoption disproportionately

There's probably more takeout and you have to take into account the effect of inflation on dining as well. But the number of people dining out in the US is broadly back to pre-pandemic levels although people are eating out somewhat less frequently.
Wasn't only the first of those actually called Aqua? I don't recall exactly when Apple officially retired that designation, but it was well before the current era.
no, founding a company does not make a person more virtuous or deserving of orders of magnitude more money than people who don't. even if we lived in a fantasy world where everyone had equal opportunity to do this, those people would not actually have a greater claim to a higher standard of living
Thanks! That's also the concerns of companies with compliance policy, which can not share the data easily with external systems.
Seems simple enough. Ban discrimination on basis of health. If someone is too ill to perform a job, discriminate based on specific job-relevant ablities, not diagnosis name.
Your "other take" is about dietary saturated fat and this article is talking about dietary cholesterol.

My take is that dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on blood cholesterol, however dietary saturated fat has a strong effect on blood cholesterol levels and health outcomes. Note that this take is consistent with the current article and the one you linked to.
I saw it here and there during the pandemic in the US but not especially common.

Well, I can spot somebody just two messages above you on the thread.

I imagine we will see a lot of people seriously pushing for chatGPT and friends to solve formal problems, take some money, and move away just before some spectacular failure happens.

That will probably also make people very suspicious of AI. (Not that I see any problem with the PR issue.)
This is generally the correct answer.

Online TDEE calculators almost always overestimate expenditure, as do smartwatches. On the intake side, people lie to themselves constantly. First, they generally don't actually weigh their portions. In the rare event they really are weighing their food, they'll "accidentally" load up 4.3oz of something, then input it into their tracker as 4oz. Then they'll neglect to log their sauces and condiments, because it's "only" 20kcal for a tablespoon. These discrepancies add up.

Invariably, these ridiculous claims come down to people being liars, not just to others, but to themselves.
It has separate, stackable layers for query building, data mapping, ORM, and ActiveRecord-ish declarative models. You can pick the parts you want and ignore the rest.

The query builder makes composable SQL syntax trees from raw text or Python objects. Executing those as queries gives you rows of tuples.

If you teach it the shapes of your data with the data mapper, you can query in terms of your tables (instead of ad-hoc column names) and get rows of populated custom objects.

On top of the mapper, the ORM defines your application-level data model, manages relationships and loading strategies, and powers up the query builder with the usual stuff like automatic joins (if you want them). You can still build composable queries, now against your application objects, but you can also work directly with the model like a standard ORM.

If you know you want the whole thing from the start, Declarative will let you do the mapping and the ORMing all at once by defining a class.
I think there is a huge mental aspect with feelings of hunger that needs to be learned how to be dealt with. I used to work a pretty labor intensive job, and you would get hungry in the shift and would just have to tough it out with your stomach raging all day. After all of that experience, I can fast at will without it putting me out really (helpful during long days of airport traveling where the food is overpriced anyhow).

That's nothing compared to what some people had to deal with e.g. surviving famines. That takes some serious mental fortitude, but I would imagine after that experience you'd be perfectly fine if dinner was served late. If you ever read Siddartha, there's this part where the protagonist learned how to fast with the Samanas in the forest, and not everyone knows how to deal with that sensation and accept it as just another sensation in life.

On the other hand, I know people who get into this bizarre state if they are hungry, not long after whatever their normal mealtime might be sometimes. People joke around about being "hangry" but its a real thing for some people. I can see how if you haven't learned how to accept the sensation of hunger, and all you know with that feeling of hunger through your life is to immediately satiate that sensation, sticking to a caloric deficit would not be easy.
Interesting thing, that Mercedes cost more in Germany, than in USA. And a lof of the models, they actually assemble in Germany and ship to USA.
Your compiler can spit out assembly, you just need to know how to read it. Sounds like the author was also using Xcode Instruments https://help.apple.com/instruments/mac/current/#/dev7b09c84f... to check cpu counters. And they were using criterion https://crates.io/crates/criterion to microbenchmark.

My guess would be that the author is porting some C code to Rust and making sure not to regress performance along the way (probably hopefully trying to increase it). Likely their program was written in Rust and the section they were trying to optimize called some old c code. Sounds like they rewrote the section in Rust since Rust <-> C ffi calls break out of the happy realm the rust compiler likes and end up causing a performance hit themselves. You can write inline assembly in Rust using the macro https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/inline-assembly.html.

The irony is the amount of money they have thrown at "Dev Advocates" who don't do a god damn thing to advocate for how developers use their platform. Frankly that's because folks that care burn out. I still remember the time a high-up rail-roaded me and lied repeatedly to a VP about the design of a product as I desperately tried to save them from the 5+ years of having to educate users on two different ways to do [basic ops]. Those basic cloud objects of course have major differences in functionality and ecosystem viability depending on what you choose, but this isn't really explained up front either, you find out by building a solution for months and then finding out you have to backtrack and start over the Azure integration. Maybe again.

All to say, I agree wholeheartedly with every word.

I've been unlucky enough to have 'unintentional' job hopping, the gaps of which I think make me look like a poor candidate. If someone looked at my LinkedIn or resume, they might automatically move on because of a 4 month gap here or there. If I actually received an interview I could explain "Well, this was a small company and they couldn't pay me on time so let me go" or something similar. When you've been stuck towards the bottom end of the economy with companies that may not be run that well, it can make you look worse than you are vs circumstances beyond your control.

Reading this, I get the impression that someone at Apple tried to do the market capture playbook tactics (churn prevention, competitor lockout, first-party-favoritism) in an open world (podcasts). Obviously it doesn’t work, while eroding the underlying ecosystem.

The smart move by Apple is to keep podcasts open, keep being the de facto provider, don’t bother making money from it now, and use it as a foot-in-the-door as the web evolves for future plays.

The only problem that even "good" actors in the tokenbro space usually take these principles: decentralisation, secure your own money, no middle-man, and then assign to them positive values from the: centralisation, entrust someone else to secure your money, employ a middle-man.

When confronted on the any viability of any of the "good" principles, they inevitably mix and match "good" and "bad" principles and values as they see fit, just to keep up their narrative. E.g. take a mostly decentralised network which is easily clogged to a standstill and then claim it's a great virtual currency medium. When asked why, they inevitably describe mostly or completely centralised "improvement" to the said network. Decentralised rent seeking, which is not so enticing even in the theoretical description inevitably gets to the point where centralised gatekeepers can can control and ban bad actors and anyone really when they see fit. And so on.

tl;dr the so called "good" actors are mostly two types of people - first type are committed anachists and libertarians who sincerely want to use what they promote and sell. And another type are disingenious liars, who promote libertarian systems to the commoners all the while promising that nothing really would change when commoners would adopt said systems, and would get only incredible benefits. I consider this second type the same as "bad" actors really.
At least when I was a hiring manager at an AI start-up, I looked at just about every resume submitted, and I thought the advice was pretty spot-on for what I was looking for. That said, I've never worked at a very large tech company, so I could believe that humans aren't reviewing them at those institutions.

Hello Walter. Nice to see you. Thanks for D.

But this is not true. An economically efficient market is one where goods and services produced are delivered at their most valuable. The job market is the antithesis of that.

If there is asymmetric information (and asymmetric risk) AND that asymmetry is known by the side with most information (like it my job example), then the side with more data can price more optimally than the side with less. If we extend that into the tenure of the job, you can be pressured to work longer and harder than you are actually paid for if the risk of losing your job is greater than the risk of you company having to replace you. Just look to Japanese salarymen or Chinese 996 workers. Those are not efficient markets. They are markets skewed towards the owners of capital.

Your example of used vs new cars is an example of a risk discount, but it really doesn't fit here, imo.

Author was not jumping out of the paradigm here, they were deliberately misusing constructs specialised for the paradigm (br/ret). That’s like saying the toolcase is a specialised screw processor because you’re trying to drive nails using a screwdriver and it does not go well.

It took me a while to understand the mismatched bl/ret pairs because I'm used to reading matched bl/ret pairs. This confusion has to be similar to what the silicon is 'thinking': Human, I see matched bl/ret pairs all the time and I'm good at them. Why are you giving me mismatched pairs? I'll do the right thing but I'm not so good at them.

Still, this seems like function inlining. But why not just inline and use a regular branch loop? Is foo() also being called from elsewhere? Is space at a premium?
He didn’t gain 10x from a micro optimization, he gained that much by converting it to use SIMD which is a macro optimization. You usually have to structure your program in such a way to be SIMD friendly. In this case it was already simd-friendly (adding a large number of floats).

You need messages from multiple receivers for MLAT, I think they use messages with known plane positions to calibrate the MLAT solver since the receivers doesn't have a high quality common time source.

It was for many people the first good FPS shooter they ever played. It was the first major console FPS shooter, and I never played PC games at the time. It was fantastic for playing in groups so people have many fond memories of playing with friends, and it was all together in one room which made it even more engaging and memorable.
SQL is a very high-level language, doing a lot of stuff in very few lines. When I write a web backend, most of the real logic ends up being in SQL. If AI is going to write code that I can trust, it'd probably be SQL first, but not yet.
Economically viable but not economically competitive. The populace of North Korea are basically slaves yet their economy is in the shitters. Workers competing for most productive use of their labor leads to better outcome for the rich capital owners.
This has more to do with the ISA than C I'd assume. C was built as an "easy assembler". Furthermore, the computer doesn't really care about structure (in the structured programming sense).

In this case the implementation of the ISA stores information on each 'ret' depending on some 'bl' that came before. One can imagine that a different optimization technique which actually leads to a speedup exists. Without a branch-predictor, the program that Matt wrote might've been faster.

Imo, this has nothing to do with paradigms, but how control-flow interacts with the system. This interaction is different between different implementations of an architecture.

Code written for Cache-locality and paradigms that work well with it, for example, only became a "winner" after caches were widely implemented. Before that, the cost of sequential array access and random array access was identical.
With caches, a linear search for an element can be faster than a binary search, even though it requires a lot more memory accessess. Thus, the optimal implementation for finding an element in an array is now dependent on size as well. (I.e. after an ordered array reaches a certain size, binary search should become faster on average).
Internally, even the current UI is referred to as Aqua. Or more specifically, aqua and darkAqua, depending on if dark mode is desired.

Someday someone will write a book about how AD, AAD, etc, exert the control they do at MS and go as unchecked (or at the time) as they do. AD's inability to execute made Azure a significantly less pleasant platform until they finally fixed accounts a couple of years back to properly do OAuth 2.0 with ARM.

Maybe the book is just "AD brings in the money" but wow, they sure bring it down as well. Global outages like that always stink of AD.
> Almost any code, when micro-optimized, can gain about 10x performance.

well, it depends on where you start from. the speedups can become arbitrarily impressive sounding when the starting point is arbitrarily inefficient.

e.g. if you're starting with a python script that wasn't written with performance in mind and has ended up being compute-bound in pure python number crunching code, if you rewrite the thing in C while thinking a little about appropriate data structures and memory allocation/access -- i.e. replacing a festival of python dict lookups and very frequent memory allocation for tiny intermediate results with indexing into preallocated arrays or so on -- it's quite common to see speedups of 500x - 1000x. this is before micro-optimisation, before introducing SIMD or multi-threading or setting the compiler to build for your exact CPU or so on.

Glad i'm not the only one who saw this.

Feels extremely overblown. Very impressive, don't get me wrong, and is yet another bridge closer to letting business side do plain text queries.

But that said, stuff like this has existed for awhile, and it's certainly not replacing analysts. For a start, this assumes a VERY clean model, which is of course what you strive for, but the moment you step out of FAANG you'll find that many places have a decent, but not ideal, model/warehouse/db which only makes things like this worse.

Getting the simple examples right is interesting, but hardly replacing an analyst. A basic background around tech and some skill navigating w3schools would replace an analyst if this was the bar.

The mildly complex queries being "almost" right is frankly horrifying. Others have mentioned how much of a "oh fuck" it is to send out bad data, and having some AI generate your answers an be SLIGHTLY off is basically worse than it being obviously off. You now have to check every query it generates for errors, because you won't be able to glance check if its sane or not.

Finally, at least where I work, these probably wouldn't even qualify as medium complexity queries? I don't really know how the industry at large would qualify these, but "using 2 inner joins, a where, a group, and a order" all falls under beginner skills in my eyes?

Its still fascinating, and I'm glad they showed HOW they did it, but this isn't replacing anyone, at least if you're paying taxes off the data.
