Bellingham is one thing, but Seattle is a good 2.5h drive from Vancouver, or maybe even more depending on border crossing and traffic along I-5.

I can't imagine anyone deciding that they want to drive for five hours plus to save a little bit of money at Nordstrom, especially given the cost of gas, especially since folks who shop at Nordstrom aren't exactly penny-pinchers, and especially because Nordstrom is pretty high-end...so by the time you've spent enough money to have saved enough money to make all that worthwhile, you've blown past your duty exemption allowance.
There's no reasonable way to get an estimate of what it actually costs FB.
1) The GPU's are not single use, they will amortize it over 3 yrs and there are other things that it will be used for that generate revenue.
2) The cost of the servers for these GPU's to run in with massive CPU, RAM, and storage requirements.
3) The overhead of building and operating all of that infrastructure in terms of people, electricity, cooling, etc.
4) The overhead of having dozens or hundreds of engineers & scientists who contributed to this.

One way you can distill the first three is to use AWS/Azure/GCP costs. But then you are still missing a major factor which is the humans that worked on it, and the human may very well exceed the hardware cost.
I don't know if I'm just growing old, lazy, angry, and/or stupid, but I genuinely can't get through a couple paragraphs of most writing these days.

San Diego, a pleasure dome but unequal? Aren't all pleasure domes unequal?

Los Angeles, "where the most common thing to catch on TV is a news story about the rich and powerful caging as many poor people as they possibly can"... I genuinely have no idea what this means. I spent several minutes trying to squint hard enough to get some meaning out of that, and I failed.

The Central Valley, where stupid backwards farmers have to pump ground water just to make ends meet! (Okay...? What's the point?)

San Francisco, where two opinions exist in a city of almost a million people! No other so-called "civilization" has some folks who are "strong on crime" and others who aren't! So backwards! Darn those "bros" and "queers"!

And finally, where I had to stop, before the meat of the article even began:

> His first book ... tracked late capitalism’s grinding effects on [his] own generation

Yeah, I'm out. Growing up in Palo Alto in the 80s and 90s must have really been the worst, man. I grew up very poor in Southern California, and thank god I'm at least aware enough not to think that was grinding. There is so little opportunity in the world - I really don't care about someone who grew up around a ton of it and managed to come out as a successful author who writes about how hard their own life was. Since I'm already being a cranky grouch: "late" capitalism? How are you so sure about everything?!

Worst part is that I get the feeling I might agree with some of the thrust of this article if I could stop rolling my eyes.

I think another part to this drop was home-computers vs. portable computers like laptops rise in popularity. I remember an emphasis of seperation with a home-computer that didn't move with me vs. a portable computer that was always there. I still practice this and advocate others to do the same. Hell a lot of people just end up using their laptops as home-computers anyway with a monitor and dock setup. Funny how that is

I wonder if it'll be much easier going forward. Take a suspect piece of code, run it through an LLM to explain it, pass the explanation to another LLM to generate code from the explanation. An automated pipeline for clean room reverse engineering.
A lot of these problem spaces can get away with single threaded performance because maybe they're generating a report or running an analysis once a day or at even slower frequency. I work in a field where numerical correctness and readability is important for prototyping control algorithms (I work on advanced sensors) and python satisfies for those properties for our analysis and prototyping work.

When we really want or need performance we rewrite the slow part in C++ and use pybind to call into it. For all the real implementations that run in a soft real time system, everything is done in C++ or C depending on the ecosystem.
The comment I replied to makes the point that bikes are better "no question" from the cost perspective since car maintenance is obviously more expensive.

It is a more complex equation than that..

Probably the hardest variable to quantify is the risk of injury/death.

While I agree it could be better if everyone used bikes, but in the current reality if I choose to ride my bycicle, I'm going to share the road with 2000Kg metal boxes which are sometimes driven by distracted drivers, and I'm not willing to take that risk.

So even if I combine all the costs associated with both options, and bikes are cheaper objectively, it will still be more expensive for me.

GPT isn't needed. Just hyperlinks, like exist at the top of the document. Paired with the ability to expand sections either in place or in an adjacent view. State the prerequisite knowledge, then give a way to skip past the explanations or have the explanations hidden by default. Permit further expansions up to the limit of what the author cares to provide, can be added to later.

I've been fully remote on and off since 2010. I've never been able to really connect with coworkers without in-person time spent, and usually lots of it. This has led me to taking in-office jobs on occasion just to fulfill that need for human connection.

Human's are social creatures - do whatever it takes to get some face time in with someone near by.

Something which may or may not apply to you, is that in the past, I also felt quite empty, simply because software development had become my entire life from sunrise to sundown. Once you realize your entire identity is based around one thing, specifically work, it's quite jarring to realize and hollow that is.

>The single biggest genetic difference among humans is the presence of a Y chromosome.

That is actually incorrect. You can be born with a Y chromosome and zero functional testosterone[1]. There are a lot of moving parts in between having a Y chromosome and getting testosterone expression. The later of which is a much better discriminator.

And also, these deviations aren't rare. Though they are usually unknown, when they don't cause obvious developmental deviation (and thus labeled DSDs). They also are more common in some populations.

To add more detail to that, Apple's proposed CSAM scanning worked by computing a hashed value for each photo on your device then compare that to a list of known CSAM image hashes downloaded from Apple. Entirely on your device, aka the "client," as in "client side scanning" (to clarify, Apple's cloud is not the client, your personal device is). Then if you have photos that hashed to a value on the known CSAM hash list (which this isn't MD5 or similar bullshit hash algo, so that would only happen if you either engineered a hash collision or actually had CSAM content) they'd send them over to have a human look at. That's multiple photos, cause 1 match could well be a false positive.

It did a great job at freaking people out hearing about their photos getting scanned and it could be defeated by making a 1 pixel change to any photos a pedo would hide on their phone (since any changes to the image would totally change the hash).
Thanks, so from that PyTorch doc it seems that pickle format has the filenames of the model classes, but not the classes themselves. I'm sure someone will figure it out though!
Nubank Q4 2022 Earnings Review: back in (lending) business
> (1) copyright as the IP protection for software, with cleaned up laws and procedures about "insignificant changes" and "derivative works" -- or --

I'd go with this. But ideally with a 10-20 year limit on copyright[1].

I do think that there are some software patents (RSA, for example) that seem worthwhile. But the system as a whole seems like it does more harm than good.

1. My ideal proposal for copyright is exponentially increasing fees (after a short initial grace period) for a linearly increasing time period. But that seems like several bridges too far.

I can't speak towards how other people, particularly minorities or the disabled think, but, as a woman, I hate the unintentional "othering" of people trying to do the right thing. I am typically the only woman at work, and people will often correct others who use terms like "guys" with statements like "guys or girls". I understand that they are doing it with good intentions and don't get angry, but to me it just serves to drive home the point that I am different. I am not like the others.
For a long time I looked at it this way. But let’s be honest with ourselves: plastic is not going anywhere. It’s too useful and too integrated into the global economy. Oil extraction is energy intensive and environmentally harmful, but so are many other industrial processes. As long as the carbon it contains does not end up on the atmosphere or ocean, I don’t see why we should view plastic differently than aluminum, steel, cement, or ammonia.
Depends on the situation. The compiler is smart, but in a way it's also dumb. It's very good at recognizing certain patterns and optimizing them, but not all patterns are recognized, and thus not all optimizations are applied, let alone consistently applied.

> Here is a 2020 article calling it a conspiracy theory

> Facebook will no longer take down posts claiming that Covid-19 was man-made or manufactured,

Those *are* fake news. Suggesting covid was explicitly designed, engineered and purposely released by the Chinese government is a conspiracy theory.

The "lab leak" hypothesis is that a natural sample of covid was inadvertently released through shoddy lab practices.

These are not the same thing. However there remains zero evidence for either one.
We have those camps. They're called Public Education and run for approx. 12 years. We don't fund education these days, but in theory, yes, they are there to help build ideal people.

> Modern world has just created a lot of broken people, its not always their fault and cant be fixed by just schools.

I don't disagree. That's what mental hospitals and prisons are for, or therapists and community groups.

But if you think the modern world is creating heaps of broken people, you should see what the old world created.
I think in the beginning both sides played into it. Trump probably knew there'd be a group of people who would say exactly that, and probably made the bet that a larger group of people would roll their eyes at that point.

Certainly the provocative language (what could probably even semi-fairly be called dog whistling) or maybe better described as "trolling" lost out to the language-policing though.
It's simply not a meritocracy in the first place.

"It's already unfair so there's no reason to care about it being unfair" is not a good argument.

Without data we have no way of knowing that. If that's true, we can prove it and put to rest the controversy.
It was already know that the peptide fragment CCK-4 reliably causes sever panic panic attack when administered in doses of 50 μg. And CCK4 is fragment of an hormone produced by the duodenum.

If the small intestine can trigger a panic attack, it's not that surprising that other organs can also create anxiety.
COBOL the language is pretty simple, you’re right. I learned it in a few weeks in my first job out of college in the early 1990s.

Even today, you can grab Gnu COBOL and learn the language.

What takes longer is understanding the whole architecture of mainframe software. JCL, CICS, etc. It’s quite foreign to anything you learned about programming for Unix. And there really aren’t any free or open-source resources to learn it, as far as I know.

I'm already at that point of AI image generation. Initially intriguing. But now it is an ocean of noise. Millions of images flooding every social media space daily. I've spent hours learning and playing with the tools for preparation of writing the piece I linked above.

However, in the end I got bored. Having the machine just create the final product in the end wasn't satisfying experience. I'm supposed to be the ideal target. I'm a very bad hobby artist. So now I can make award winning art. However, it just feels hollow. Maybe my personality, but feels like accepting recognition for something I didn't do.

Yeah, they are money obsessed. They lost any ability to claim customer obsession with their horrible current situation with dups and fake posts and fake ads. Almost any search finds multiple of them.

There's some Steve Ballmer type inside the company who says I don't care if the company is drifting and some people are whining about fake ads. We make more money over time, we have more customers, our new aws capabilities are better, etc. This feels so much like Ballmer's time at Microsoft where the company was drifting, they became much more focused on extracting more revenue from stupid enterprise contracts, and the technical side of the company decayed.

Well as someone that has had the "joy" of implementing a lot of the ones that exist in the US: SOC*, HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI-DSS, a handful of DoD ones. I think if they seriously taught them in schools it would cause a lot change of majors when students realize what an absolute clown car of regulation they are getting themselves into. Its also probably the most boring subject availible.

Well as I pointed out, it does happen e.g. in Meson.

Make doesn't do any of the things you mention - it just works out what targets need to be rebuilt and the code to do it is in the rules that you have to write in a shell language like bash.

I admit you can use builtin implicit rules for C and get away with that up to a point but only a fairly low point.

python is far harder to use than bash when it comes to running processes and doing things with them and doing the file-system manipulation that is usually wanted when building.

There are modules that make it easier but so far as I've seen it's a crap choice plus python takes a long time to start up so there is a cost to running a "clean" environment for every build step but OTOH if you use the same interpreter for the whole build you can introduce all sorts of ordering problems when a build runs on a different machine and doesn't work because it's executing build tasks in a different order.

If you really want to build by "writing a script" (groan - because that's the age old horrible solution) why bother with python?

> A lot of folks can’t survive today without a giant ide while you advocate not to use something tiny in comparison

I'm not advocating anything. I'm stating my personal preferences. But I also make sure that I don't rely on a giant IDE for any language. I use a couple of different ones at work, but I don't use one at home (even though my hobby projects are no less complex), because I've found that using IDEs encourages me to engage in poor programming practices. I am not saying that nobody should use IDEs or that they make people worse programmers. I'm speaking for myself. I want to deeply understand the languages I use.

> Do you hate working with jpeg or blender files because they require software? Rather move bits with a magnetic needle and steady hand?

Of course not. Those are not human-readable data collections are need a tool to make them understandable by a human. A programming language is supposed to be directly understandable by a human, though, and if you need a tool to make it so, that strikes me as a failure of the design of the language.

> Two ways to delimit blocks is redundant. Either one indents already or the project is a disaster.

Eh, each to his own. Yes, there is a redundancy there, but I think it's a redundancy that brings value and reduces error.

Yep... I never use mine anymore. I rarely even use "autopilot" anymore after it almost killed me due to a rapid change in lighting conditions the cameras couldn't compensate for (but didn't let me know it was effectively blind lol).

The worst part is that they claim it crashes less than humans... neglecting to account for the fact that you obviously disable it in difficult road conditions / areas / situations (or it disables itself, eg in foggy conditions).

So the samples are obviously not remotely comparable. Bugs me to no end that they grossly misrepresent the stats. There are other tidbits like FSD returning control to the driver if it detects an imminent, unavoidable collision, to reduce legal liability. Again, this makes the whole "FSD is safer!" spiel so slimy.
