> some numbers are purely theoretical.

It is naive (no offense indended) to think that only things that can be seen in our "human" reality exist (think of viruses etc.). But even if this was the case with numbers, what is the problem? Natural language allows us to entertain abstract thoughts with no immediate realization, and numbers are just one of these things.

Yep - I have a mechanic I trust - he doesn't do inspections, asked him to check my tires before I brought it in to get inspected and he said they should pass - unless the place I bring it for the inspection, also sells tires.

Its mind boggling to me that the place the does the inspections, is also the same place that can sell you the repairs - repairs that you may or may not actually need.

Hello!

A little over a year ago, I published squareword.org. It has now been played over 16 million times!

Today I am excited to share my new word game, clickword.org. The goal is to drag letter tiles to a grid and build words to score points. Longer words and words that cross give extra points. Get as many points as possible with 60 tiles.

You can see a video of the game in action here: https://twitter.com/SquareWordOrg/status/1626246339267887112

Any comments and feedback are appreciated!

My score for the day:

ClickWord.org Daily 12: 319 points
Best word: 92 points
Streak: 12 days
As an embodiment of hardware abstraction, the present invention relates to a key value interface in an Ethernet switch. The invention provides a Redis interface on the switch, enabling the interfacing with I2C devices to be akin to a read operation from a key/value store over the Redis protocol. The invention contemplates the publication of RISC-V or Wasm code to a key/value endpoint, followed by awaiting a response on a value. The present invention constitutes prior art in the patent categories of network switches, key-value stores, and hardware abstraction.

patent classification codes: H04L, G06F 17/30, G06F 15/76, G06F 9/44 and G06F 9/455

Seemed like something someone would make a BS patent for, so I had ChatGPT spiffy it up.
Very cool! I constantly struggle trying to do things in spreadsheets that are easy in Python. But I/O makes it annoying to write one-off scripts for a 30 second op. This would solve that pain point!

I would love a Google Sheets integration, since that's where I already live with most of my CSV/Sheets data + it would seamlessly fit into my workflow. If this was a Chrome extension I would have installed it today.

As is, I don't see myself using another spreadsheet app.
Thanks will edit

> So I popped everything together, made sure it benchmarked as expected, tested an Intel Arc A750 in preparation for testing on a Raspberry Pi, and then decided the 7900x's egregious power consumption wasn't to my liking the thing idled over 90W, and would eat up over 285W while compiling Linux!

> I wanted to enable AMD's 'Eco' mode, which limits the TDP from the stock 170W to either 105W or 65W. And in my own benchmarking (which happened later on, but I'm including the data here because it's kinda insane), the CPU got about 96% of its 170W performance when I limited it to 105W. And at that level, it idled at 45W and maxed out at 206W. Much better.

To me the impressive part of GPT is that it gets anything right and it gets better just by making it bigger.

The quality of the answers for DaVinci is way better because it stayed on topic. and got things right. yes it's not 100% accurate but there's no reason to assume it would have worked at all.

why is chatgpt impressive?

DaVinci

ChatGPT is impressive because it can generate human-like conversations in real-time. It also offers natural language understanding capabilities and is capable of understanding and responding to complex questions. It is powered by the latest GPT-3 language model, which is the most advanced AI language model available today.

curie

Chatgpt is impressive because it is a very fast and easy to use messaging platform. It is also very user-friendly, making it a great choice for those who are new to messaging platforms.

babage

ChatGPT is impressive because it is one of the most robust chat applications on the market. It has a huge user base and is constantly being updated with the latest features.

Ada

There are a few reasons why chatgpt is impressive. First, it is a tool that is used daily by people in the business and government sector. This makes it a very important part of their workflows. They are easy to use and can be used in a number of different ways, which is also impressive. Additionally, chatgpt has been around for a long time and is still in use by a lot of the same teams. This makes it a very reliable tool that is likely to continue to work well in the future.

We don't have a self-host option at the moment. We wanted to build Neptyne as a collaborative platform first, where users could build together and share their work.

I wouldn't rule it out for the future though -- a lot will depend on where we see Neptyne being used.

Exactly. Inflation only lowers stocks because the federal reserve tightens the money supply by raising rates, which hurts companies and spending.

If you want to gamble that the fed will get too scared to raise the rates, you’ll buy stocks because inflation will raise them nominally.

Many people think the fed will back off because if the rates get too high, it will cripple our federal government’s ability to spend. The average maturity of their debt is 5 years. With a debt to gdp ratio of 121%, and a federally taxable percent of yearly gdp of 19%, it’s not hard to do the math and see that a huge ungodly chunk of federal spending is already on track to disappear. It’s hard to imagine rates at something like 8%. Not the best time for that with increasing payments to Medicare and social security you may say.

Here’s the math if you’d like to see how messed up it is yourself:

(Fed_GDP_Tax_% - (Debt_Gdp_Ratio * Debt_Interest_Rate) =

%_Of_GDP_Collected_And_Spendable

A federal funds rate of 5% compared to 0% already reduces usable income collected by the federal government from 19% of GDP to 12.95% of GDP

If rates stay as high as they already are, in 5 years we will need to halve social security and Medicare. At 8% you may need to delete them entirely.

So yeah, I’m buying stocks.
I updated my Z390 ASUS board through the BIOS. I didn’t use the online updater because for some reason it pulled the 2nd newest version. So instead I just downloaded it off the website to a USB stick, booted into the BIOS, picked it, and done.
Brew follows a rolling-release style, it behaves the same way the Arch Linux package manager does. In Arch users are discouraged from upgrading specific packages instead of everything as a whole.

That said, the docs say that running "brew upgrade <package>" will only upgrade that specific package. Of course, if that package relies on new versions of dependencies, they will get updated too, and in turn this will update any packages that also depend on it, creating a chain of updates. But there's an option to see what will happen: "brew upgrade --dry-run <package>".
Educated people disagree on all kinds of things. There are various schools of thought.

Perhaps smaller polities would be less controversial. Perhaps mass democracy or democracy generally is disfunctional.

I'd use an website/app that supports my preferred data ingestion process -- periodically manually downloading my bank & credit transactions (supporting at least one of: csv, qif, and qfx), and allows me to define at least (account, category, description) tuples mapping transaction to buckets (ideally hierarchical).

(Ideally also a focus on viewing trends at various grains and easy drill down, as opposed to "don't buy any more smoothies for the next 11 days, but go ahead and rent more movies soon -- use it or lose it!".)

I see gnucash mentioned as an option for ingesting downloaded transactions. Any others?

I'm not trying to dispute or detract from this point, but I'd also like to add that there is also a simple motivation behind media bias that can't be ignored: people wanting to shape public opinion to their own worldview - be they journalists or people who own the presses.
Nowadays "fake news" is just a derogatory term against the news media in general, but the term used to mean something. If you remember, back to the 2016 election, there were literal fake online newspapers that sprang up and published essentially election clickbait. These sites had news-y sounding names, real-looking content, and were designed to look surface-level like legitimate news sites, until you dug a little deeper and looked around. People started calling these sites out as "fake news" but Trump quickly adopted the term, and nullified it by using it as a simple insult against actual mainstream news sites. But it originally meant "actual phony news sites".

> The term “fake news” became mainstream during the US election campaign, when hundreds of websites that published falsified or heavily biased stories sprung up to capitalise on Facebook advertising revenue.[1]

> Mr Trump and his supporters then adopted the term to describe media coverage critical of the President, especially that of The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN.

The best conceptualization of the concept of number that I've come across is Von Staudt's construction of the rationals using the concept of harmonic tetrads. At first it seems weirdly over-complicated, but there's a moment where it clicks and then a shocking beauty. It's like a version of special relativity that's even more relative, like, what could observers agree on if they didn't even agree on the speed of light? Turns out they can still calculate cross ratios, but then even the notion of cross ratio can be turned inside out, and you get your fundamental notion of number out of a deeper concept of harmony.

I have a Toyota Highlander 2021 and it is blinding people by design.

I can see it when I drive and it illuminates the inside of the car in front of me. I had to fight the Toyota dealer tooth and nail to get it adjusted down. They claimed it was in spec. At least it is ok now when it is unloaded.

When I load the car to ski/camp or add the bike rack with 4 bikes, the lights go up again. Every car I had in Europe had a little load adjuster for the headlights to take it down.

Most people agree that coming up with proper edge cases for unit tests is way harder than writing original code. You're not just writing code that works, you need to anticipate in what way it's going to break.

That means that engineers writing unit tests should be better than engineers writing code.
This bit jumped out at me (about hiring):

> The problem and negative impact lies in the manager ranks and intensifies at the director level and higher. Hiring interviews at this level are entirely subjective and the quality of the interviewers matters. Google Cloud in particular has grown rapidly by hiring mid-level and senior talent from every enterprise company around. In most cases, the skills needed to become a director at not-so-elite enterprise company X are not aligned with the skills needed to become an effective director at Google. And when people are hired from an elite tech company Y, is it really because they were killing it there but still got lured away, or it is because they ran out of runway there and Google was a good place to land.

Once you start hiring bad middle-managers and directors, you might as well bid the company goodbye. Like a parasite, they will intertwine themselves in the various processes to make themselves indispensable.

Absolutely this. Media had my neighbor yelling in my face and threatening to fight me over our differences in opinion over masks. Objectively he's not a bad guy, and I told him that I think we have more in common than not, then went inside.

We really need to stop this cycle of hate. I want to feel safe in my neighborhood and get along with folk. We don't need to agree, but we need to recognize that we are Americans and on the same damn side in the end.

It's typically a simple fix if it's just an alignment issue. That on most cars takes 5 minutes, pop the hood, grab the right screw driver and adjust the beams. A mechanics might charge $20 for this. Now in newer cars with active headlights this method probably won't work, but the active headlights most likely have self leveling and a test to see if they are within spec.

When I was looking for a name for my now-archived distributed actors system based on Redis ( https://github.com/buybackoff/Ractor), the choice for Redis+Actor was between Reactor, Redactor and Ractor. Then I found a reference to The Diamond Age book (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age) where a ractor is a virtual actor in interactive games and movies working from a computer-provided script. I found it somewhat fitting to the actors abstraction. And the most cyberpunky.
> instead of checking out the large (and slow) homebrew/core and homebrew/taps repos

I actually wanted to ask why they don't just prune the history of those repos to cut down on their clone size? OT1H, I could actually imagine some software historian being curious what flags were required to build sqlite 3.6.20 from 2009 (872f50ac61d7) but OTOH building a whole new distribution system instead of effectively git-squash feels weird

As someone who regularly patches those local repos to work around silliness, I was bitten by that newfound API business and I'm thankful that env-var exists.

Disappointed to see that most comments here missed the point in the article.

All these comments claim that automated tests make their code stable, fast, easy to refactor, etc.

But the article is not talking about those characters of the code, it’s about pivoting fast and making money. Does your stable, easy-to-refactor code directly make you good money? If yes, then please talk more about it, this is the correct response to the article, please don’t just claim your code is stable and easy-to-refactoring, and in the meanwhile have nothing to do with making money.
Yes, we're unfortunately back to an unhinged race for the performance crown at any cost.

To me this seems like Stripe for Flights. No for a moment let's think beyond applications that would like you to book your flight through them (where Links seems super useful IMO) and start thinking about future voice assistants and copilot like products, Duffels API is the interface to book flights, how else do you offer this? No affiliation with the company, just genuinely positive about what they're doing.
Just because it's impossible to be 100% objective all the time doesn't mean it's impossible to be somewhat objective with the goal of being as objective as possible. The alternative is just go full ideological, and then you no longer care about the truth, only pushing a narrative to confirm the biases of your paying customers. Or sensationalist just to drive clicks and views.

At least in Sweden (and I believe Germany is similar) there are no layoffs as you see in the US. In Sweden an employer might extend an offer to buy you out of your employment contract, which you can deny and continue to be employed. If they want to do layoffs they will have to follow LAS which has a few provisions on how it should be done, including a LIFO order for who gets shafted, and any positions considered "redundant" not being able to be hired at all for a few months (I believe it's 6 months but I might be wrong).
