Update on this: I’ve reached the point where I’m comfortable cracking open the 300pg Metal Programming Guide and jumping directly to the section covering what I’m interested in learning about. I’ve switched to using ChatGPT to generate example shaders that use particular techniques. It’s still extremely valuable, but there’s a level of organization or strategic thinking that’s missing in the responses provided.
This is so ridiculously over-the-top - and so incredibly obviously not the category of change that is being discussed here - that I have trouble believing you really mean it. Like, come on dude.
> Using Genesis doesn't sound like such a good idea

That was also my first reaction, but thinking about it a bit more there might be a practical reason for it: they included genesis 1-3 in 1500 languages. I bet there aren’t many texts available that have that many translations, if at all, outside of the bible.

I was lucky to attend a workshop conducted by the maintainer of Rust's linter where we contributed to the project. In this post I wrote about my experience at the workshop and on a larger task I picked up afterwards. My experience was positive, and I would definitely contribute to the project in future.

Happy to answer any questions people might have.
False, co-sleeping while not in a bed has a high risk of injury to the infant. Co-sleeping in a bed is of course riskier than not sharing a bed with a baby but is no where near as high as co-sleeping happening outside of the bed.
As a non-ad tech example, a significant component to what we're trying to do at https://www.auxon.io is provide tech to companies they can use for testing & analysis of robots and cyber-physical systems. From our perspective internally what we're getting is the ability to perform something akin to "materials science" for the increasingly critical software parts of these systems and construct models of their behavior to use for predictive & comparative analysis purposes.

We have a research partnership with the University of Ottawa & University of Luxembourg specifically on the statistical analysis end of things to go deep in some areas to later incorporate the findings into our products. In fact the first go around of that research cycle has already happened (https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.13807v1) and the insights are being integrated into our Deviant product (https://auxon.io/products/deviant).

It's definitely not ad-tech. It definitely has a specific applied use case. Most of our marketplace traction is in aerospace, energy, automotive, and defense. We're not immediately hiring for roles on the data analysis end of things (we're in much more immediate need of visualization & frontend help), but we will be this year.
It reminds me of the neural data profiler I worked on that was based on a CNN. We talked a lot about what sort of features would go into it, but the one thing we agreed was that the CNN would struggle to learn the idea of "well-formed credit card number" which complies with

A 4:30 mile is a respectable mile time for a high school boy.

It's good enough to be competitive at a state level (4:28 placed 7th in CT this year) but won't have D1 coaches salivating at the mouth.
My neighbor is in his 80s and we live in what used to be a rural area before urbanization caught up. He told me there wasn't any garbage collection, they put rubish in a small bin and just dumped everything in a hole in the garden when the bin was full. They didn't use any plastic so everything would just decompose. When the hole was full they'd dig another one and that was it.
> Because professional athletes are anything but "balanced"

I'm sorry, how much money do you think professional runners make that it affords them some crazy diet that the general public can't tolerate? Not even professional runners for that matter-- college runners, or even high schoolers. My partner and all of her colleagues that compete at the international level in Canada have part-time jobs. My partner is in grad school full-time at the moment, too. They aren't "abusing their body" as much as possible, they just do a lot of base mileage, two key workouts a week, and recover and eat properly-- and they've done that for years. That's the secret.

I eat with, and cook for my girlfriend, and I am a brutally normal guy in the military. We just use standard ingredients and try to cook things from scratch. We have pizza and/or go out to eat about once every two weeks or so. This isn't purely anecdotal, it's completely reasonable to run a 120km/wk and maintain a normal life-- that's most elite runners on the field, and I make that assessment as a guy who has been in these circles through my partner.

I would disagree with your assessment of "unstoppable" versus "fastest". You can certainly have both with carbohydrates. Moreover, given the parent comment wanted to get faster, I would probably not reach for keto under your recommendation.

You're asking for the cable tv model where they aggregate premium channels, imho that doesn't work either... you end up paying for a lot of stuff that you're not interested in.
I think so. Figure 7 is the only figure in the paper that shows latency, and it appears the epoch defines a latency floor. The system is aggressively optimized for throughput at the expense of commit latency, which is common for anything with group commit.
Nice beats! Thanks for the share!
One wonders if that’s stable long-term. The US is a relatively benign hegemon, but that’s just luck. The next one isn’t likely to be very nice at all, going by the standards of history.
Yes and if you can do that without getting fired (or without struggling to find a better job) then that entitlement is obviously justified.

Having negotiating power gives you all sorts of “entitlements” that aren’t written down anywhere, that’s the point of having negotiating power.

The silly thing would be to earn all this negotiating power and then choosing to be miserable anyway because other people might call you entitled pejoratively.
You can fire someone in France for poor performance.

But it's not like in the US where you just declare this, and then fire them. It works like in many union shops in the US. You need to document that poor performance, show missed deadlines, show that you attempted to train and accommodate them, give them a few months of heads up to adjust, and then you can proceed with dismissal.

Just think of France as an all-hands union shop.
I’m not sure I understand the “infrastracture” label, but certainly for the cases the author listed as “infra” typing can be cumbersome. Famously just json deserialization can be rather painful in statically typed languages, especially ones without complex compile time features.
Why would you want the world to hold on to your not-valuable artifacts forever once you're gone? That just sounds like pollution.

Flagship CPUs/GPUs have always be considered enthusiast/prosumer level with relatively dubious performance/value propositions.

The first Core i7 extremes (which fill roughly the same product niche) were ~$1000 like over 10 years ago (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i7-990x-extreme-ed...)
That's absurd.

Robots ALREADY do half of our household chores.

What do you think a washing machine is? Do you have any idea? Just how much effort used to go into washing? How about a dishwasher -- do you use one of those? How many of you utilize a vacuum cleaner to beat your carpets, even if some of those vacuum cleaners get pushed around by hand? When was the last time you walked down to the well or stream to fetch a pail of water rather than having it pumped for you?

If we create more robots to make the tasks of daily living even easier, it will just shift our expectations yet again.
Same! (I think I lived with the same guy ;)

You'd be amazed what perfectly good things stores throw away because it's past the best before date.
In the W Bush era it was gays getting married. Terrorists are taking over and gays are gonna shack up and destroy America. Gotta have a foreign and domestic set of enemies to get people riled up about.

But the Overton Window shifted and no one really cares if the gays marry.

Trans people are even fewer than gay people and there may be a number of real, or kinda real, arguments to be had there, such as the wisdom of giving younger kids hormones, or if trans athletes should be allowed to participate in gendered sports leagues. They make a fantastic wedge issue, with the benefit that they're 0.3% of the population -- political footballs, with no chance of actually burning a voting block.
Short answer: no.

The reality of a distribution like Debian is that it needs to make patches to code to make software work in a holistic distribution, so a strict "no-patches-allowed" policy just isn't workable. The best you can hope to do is have a policy that requires at least some level of approval from upstream developers on the correctness of the patch. Which is what happened here; the only real failure that could have been avoided on the Debian contributor's was to send the entire patch for review. For all intents and purposes, it does look as if the upstream developers approved the change, and at best you're hoping that a more rigorous, formal process would have caught the fact that the people approving the change were not in fact upstream developers.

From the OpenSSL side, the faults are more legion. On the technical side, the code relied on questionable voodoo magic working correctly (when it was known that it didn't work correctly in at least some circumstances!), and the code was intrinsically confusing. On the social side, there was no clear way for a would-be contributor to identify how to get a patch approved by upstream developers. The postmortem on the OpenSSL side, however, was to point and laugh at the Debian contributor for being an ignorant n00b (it's not linked in the article), denying any fault on their part.

Perhaps it should be no surprise that a couple of years later, OpenSSL would be slammed with Heartbleed, which surfaced much of the same technical issues that the Debian bug did but without any ability to blame anybody else for making the bug. Heartbleed was severe enough to force people to learn some of the lessons they should have learned from the Debian/OpenSSL fiasco.
To slightly elaborate: when this comment say "first class types" they're referring to dependent types. For programmers who are not aware: think about functions in functional programming languages. They're "first class citizens" in the sense that there is no difference between functions and any other values, such as `3` or `"hello"`. In dependently types languages, there is no difference between types and other values. Types are just any other value. For example, normally `Int` would be a type, but in these kind of programming languages `x: Int, x > 5` would also be a type even though the type depends on the value `x`.

In terms of software engineering, one bonus you get is being able to encode your unittests in your type system. For example, you can do (in Agda):

_ : myFunction x y z == 33
_ = refl -- refl is of type `x == x`

and compiler will run this test for you at compile-time while type-checking your program.

Two popular "practical" dependently typed languages are Agda and Idris. Of these two, Idris is relatively designed for software engineers, whereas Agda also wants to be a state-of-the-art automated theorem proving tool. I would strongly recommend checking both if you want to explore this area of programming languages. I wrote practical programs in Agda (e.g. language parsers, JSON parser etc) and I think it can make a programmer extremely productive, if you like this kind of workflow. Correctness is very easy to reason in these languages, and although it may look daunting at first, writing practical programs are very approachable (about as hard, maybe ever-so-slightly harder than writing code in Haskell). Have fun!
I see much more affordable CPUs on that list. You can buy those instead of the best of the best.
Have another source we can check out if this one is ‘bullshit’ in your opinion?
I mean, this is a flagship CPU, up around Xeon Gold capabilities. Plenty of Ryzen3/5 for a deal out there for a good computer otherwise
That’s a Google problem not a publisher problem. Content should be findable and available to people who want to pay for it.

I don’t know what’s going on in this thread where encountering UB has somehow been morphed into some kind of guaranteed immediate core dump that’s basically better than panicking anyway. Yes, people are talking about segfaults. But it’s memory corruption. Maybe you get a crash at some point, maybe you do not.

A reminder for all that have forgotten: UB is the one that can email your local council and submit a request to bulldoze the house you’re in. It is not a free core dump.
>> > along with some relativistic effects

>> This is theory of everything [4] talk. We don’t know enough about gravity to speak coherently about it.

I would assert that there is an electrostatic equivalent of gravitational black holes. In my world, quarks exist inside an event horizon within a baryon and that's part of what keeps it stable. The other part being electrostatic attraction of course:

+2 -1 +2 << this configuration of charges will attract. Orbiting at speed C will help, and will also create a magnetic field. What keeps it dynamically stable forever though... I dunno.
I found those definitions to be a weird line. But, I believe the overall premise is you use types for large projects that many people will be interfacing with and making small changes to. You go cowboy when it's some fun scripts.
Masks work. Period.
Just the basic logic:

If two are standing in front of each other an spitting in their opponents face, even a simple sheet of cloth would minimize the spitters spitt getting spitted on the other spitter's face.

Then we have that shiat byatch viros! Much, much smaller than the sticky and jelly, sincerely accumulated mass of spit.

The conclusion is to take denser cloth for the virus not to pass through thread holes.

And, maybe the proper handling the masks. They won't work if the people do not cover their noses.

What's even more with that Cochrane metastudy, there hasn't been a differentiation of what masks are subjected to the question. I overflow it and medical masks and n95/ffp3 has been mixed together.

I would say that guy authoring the study should be excluded from the science society for being not all about science - but rather stupid, neglecting and a big fan of personal flowering the data & resume.

Please, someone has to stop that guy :) he's not worth to be called a scientist.

I wonder if OP has considered the possibility that the work produced is not valued because the target audience doesn't want the work to be of value?

If the ML/data science work is good, then it will provide guidance for making decisions about the business to management. If it's great, it will make predictions better than the people in management. Pretty soon, someone will realize that if the data model too good, there'll be no need for layers of management. The people actually running the company will just use the reports to steer and dispense with all the supporting analytics people.

It's no wonder OP's output is mostly ignored except for signaling. The people can pretend to look at, but still make decisions and recommendations based on their gut instinct, common sense, or whatever squishy justification they want, and make themselves look necessary. If the outcomes are bad, they can just blame The Model.

So the moral panic about AI putting people out of jobs isn't coming from the people working on the line, it's coming from middle to upper management realizing that their role is absolutely useless when data science can make data-driven managements become real.

Who'll be left? The top 1%, as usual, extracting value from data and the people who create it.
I moved from Turbo Pascal and Delphi to FreePascal and Lazarus. I write business application software; mostly inventory and sales stuff.

Pascal was popularized by Borland, who sold a complete develpment environment that was tiny, fast, well-documented, and dirt cheap. They got rich doing that. Delphi cost more, but it did a lot more... and then they started jacking the price of Delphi into Twilight Zone territory; over a thousand dollars if you wanted the necessary "add-on" bits that you really needed to make it work. That, and other bad business decisions, killed Borland, and put Pascal itself in the shadows, as they'd pretty much dominated that market. Anders Hejlsberg, who had written both Turbo and Delphi, eloped to Microsoft to work on Visual BASIC.

Besides the price, there was Borland's "upgrade" policy. At first, existing Borland product owners could upgrade for a nominal price. The price kept going up, and upgrades started coming faster. New versions were just incompatible enough to be a hassle. Finally, for the piece de resistance, they started running full-page ads begging Microsoft compiler owners to "upgrade" to Borland for less than what they were shafting their own customers for. That's when I, and apparently a whole lot of other programmers, decided to part ways with Borland.
He gets paid to say things. You know his name because he says famous or controversial things -- so even if he sees the connections, why would he bite?
When working hospital shifts, I routinely took naps whenever possible. I personally wouldn’t hire an engineer with your sense of entitlement, because you would be very difficult to manage and probably wouldn’t produce the same results as your other team-player colleagues.
Thanks, just saw it. Looks like it fares well in tested games without special scheduler, which is interesting. It falls behind 7950X in video encoding.

Code compilation tests are tied with 7950X.
I think I prefer the other commenter's point, referring to ChatGPT as a known learning paradigm for chatbots. But thanks for the little crash course on analogies ;)

And you somehow forgot updates? I bet Chinese will send you updates, just not those you expect.
I don't really understand the despair. The only thing I can think of is they somehow have their self-worth tied up in their work. For me, work is merely a way to earn money for those things that actually matter to me - family, hobbies, volunteer work, etc. My actual work has no real benefit to society. As long as they keep paying me, I don't really care. That's on them to want me to work on things that fundamentally don't matter.
>I reckon you could do anything and be successful if you had Steam's revenue rolling in.

I disagree completely. Most people in a company like that would completely take advantage of the monopoly they have and make everything miserable as hell for the end user.

I'm hard pressed to think of anything else over the past 20 years that hasn't sold out or been turned to utter trash in one way or another. Steam continues to be absolutely top notch. They have essentially lowered the price of all PC games over the years and added great features like family sharing etc. It just works. It's not some convoluted garbage interface that they try to keep updating every year to stay up with the pace of "modern design". They don't bombard you with crap when you aren't using steam, you don't get random pop ups (like Epic games...) and all that.

Anyway- I get what you are saying. Obviously they have some massive revenue to work with.. but I don't think it's as easy as you think to stay successful in the way they have to the end user.
I am very far from an expert on this, but I think domain specific conversational AI would be much more useful than these large models. It's fun to ask an AI to compose a fresh 600bpm hip hop song about the relationship between materials science and the breeding habits of mosquitoes, but an open-source medical AI, application support AI, or many other applications would be much more practical, if they could be accurate enough. And especially if they could run "standalone." They could also consult with each other, as a network of specialized AI. Is work inching closer to more specific, more accurate applications? Or is this just a big gimmick/distraction phase around a maybe not so great idea of AI?
From the messaging, this seems like a partial network outage.

Of course, at Google scale 'partial' is still very big.

I'm very interested in stories like this.

> I wrote software to automate all of this. It took a half an hour, with NO manual intervention. It was strangled in the crib.

Can you say any more about why management at your company decided to strangle this project in the crib? What exactly happened? If you tried to pushback, how did they shut you down?

If you have time I'd also be curious to hear an outline of how your solution fixed things.
Thank God it is. Burning trash is much better than landfills. Modern incineration plants are not very dirty and they don't poison ground water and wreck nearby ecosystems.
You can always hack a computer if you work hard enough. Even the airgabbed Iranian nuclear control facilitices were hacked.

What we need to do is keep sensitive data in paper form only, and make people who hold it responsible for its security with no limits, or ability to hide behind corporate structures.

The end result is that so sensitive information as this is simply not kept, as it isn't worth the trouble.

> [...] and then links to a page of advice on the internet [...]

There's a world of difference between an armchair internet-dietitian (no, I'm not implying you are one) and a registered dietitian that is the "director of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital" (the author of the said article). It's not appeal to authority—we have to start somewhere. That doesn't mean the said page is 100% accurate.

> But let me ask about your personal experience with keto or fasting [...]

No, I did not try Keto. Yes, I've done fasting before; and yes, it was beneficial. Personally, I'm disciplined with food; almost like a machine, I can happily maintain a healthy diet, without having to "negotiate with myself".

Please note, I'm not denying there are no benefits to Keto or fasting at all. I even recently listened to an episode on Keto on Huberman Lab Podcast to educate myself on it. I don't have personal experience of it, so I refrain to talk about it. Much less use data-points-of-one as a generalization.
