That's me! It also generated a rather large discussion here and if you want to read how things were going up to that point, I posted a lengthy comment there:

How am I doing now? Still good, still grateful to be married to somebody who gets good health insurance through their job. Still need to update my website a bit (is that work ever really done?). Still working on the mix of building stuff and rustling up new business. Please feel free to reach out if you have a furniture need or a furniture windmill to tilt at (email in profile). I do sculptural light pieces too.

Almost every industry has the same pressures as tech but pays less.
Maybe a ChatGPT prompt could translate?
Nah the garden of eden comes from an extinction event where almost all humans were wiped out. The only survivors were trapped in a small piece of fertile land at the equator and everything else was solid ice.

It would be easy to see that garden as a gift from god after you’ve seen everyone else freeze to death. Then you just need a reason to leave e.g overhunting or overpopulation or some dispute.

Then the myth would be that someone living there did something and our group had to leave paradise and go into the thawing wasteland. Pass that on for generation after generation and it becomes metaphorical.
To put your comment in perspective: we had two world wars, such as the world had never seen before, last century.

I visited Denver, excited to see all of the supposed new cycling infrastructure, and aside from like, a handful of bike lanes here and there, I didn't feel comfortable biking around the city. Would prefer not to bike in six lanes of high-speed traffic.
Well bytecode isn't the same as the actual code you write in your editor.
I spent the last 3 years teaching at a software bootcamp, after being a SWE for 8yrs. It's been super rewarding - you're working with adults who are often in a hard spot financially and personally, and you get to help coach them through a major challenge, and see the positive outcomes for them.

The pay will likely be much higher than teaching elsewhere (though I still took a 30k cut). Some bootcamps are more legit than others, so just do your research first
> Some of ELIZA's responses were so convincing that Weizenbaum and several others have anecdotes of users becoming emotionally attached to the program, occasionally forgetting that they were conversing with a computer. Weizenbaum's own secretary reportedly asked Weizenbaum to leave the room so that she and ELIZA could have a real conversation. Weizenbaum was surprised by this, later writing: "I had not realized ... that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."

The cliché virtual girlfriend stereotype is a young Japanese 'Herbivore' male but I wouldn't be surprised if women become the biggest consumer of AI chatbots for romantic purposes. Romance novels are a major market and women stereotypically were more inclined to doing the written love letter thing. Although reading the Repilka rants a lot of it was quite male-driven pornographic stuff too.
Git subtree – can anyone vouch for this as an alternative to submodules for an open source business? Any hidden gotchas or friction points?
> copper has almost half the resistance per meter than aluminium.

But 4 times the weight
1. Git is much more common in the wild, so more people have opinions on it.

2. Git submodules are occasionally used, but svn externals is something I'd never seen used back when I was on svn using teams.

To be complained about, something must be known about, and I think for most developers, svn externals isn't known about
It's not sickening, it's a poignant reflection of history, especially since the current status of Iran was effectively caused by a previous western coup to capture the oil production.

Why are they poking their eyes onto my screen?

Of course the underlying rule "making other coworkers uncomfortable is bad" completely makes sense. And we - probably - all know how above a certain company size these rules end up playing it too safe.
You literally suggested that they will never ship a product they are shipping today, though. Maybe you would like to reword?

Again, I just don't understand the discourse. By the same standards you are using one should never trust criticism of Tesla because it's likely to be phrased as ridiculous cherry-picked hyperbole (e.g. "some other company the guy owns is a moonshot brain thing ergo century-old motor technology will never happen" -- also in this subthread).

> But the specific form of this announcement is industry catch-up.

FWIW, this is just factually incorrect. Tesla has been shipping induction motors since the original Model S. They quite clearly led the EV industry in this particular technology. It wasn't until the Model 3 launched that they shipped their first permanent magnet drive train.
>It's clear that the battle for magnet-less motor supremacy is only just getting started, and BMW is answering a key criticism frequently leveled against EVs: relying on rare, sometimes unethically mined materials makes EVs worse for the planet. We're truly stepping into an interesting time in electric motor development.

Right, what about the huge lithium batteries though? they're not exactly ethically sourced either...
No, “people of color” is now in the “past” as Sierra Club says. The “preferred term today” is “BIPOC” which acknowledges that black and indigenous people are more important than other “people of color.” I don’t remember Asians signing off on this change request; I doubt Hispanics did either.

Erm, for inference that is. Training is definitely out of question for individuals I believe (unless you use much smaller models?).
And if you can do your own maintenance, and buy used frames and parts, you can probably say 2 OoM difference. You'd spend more on the calories that fuel your commute than on the bike and accessories.
I wouldn't rule out nuclear exchange this century.

We've already had news cycles normalizing the debate over tactical nukes on the battlefield.
That comment is actually a good politically-neutral illustration of a major force underpinning today's political hyper-polarization: people simply can't handle the mere existence of something they don't like and will respond by shunning entire bodies of work or attacking people unnecessarily.

This is definitely new as in the last 10-15 years. In the past more people seemed able to just disregard or shrug at things they didn't approve of.

We've had eras of profound intolerance before. I think this one might be unique in that it seems universal across the entire political and social spectrum.
Not necessarily. Just using a better optimized sort or hash algorithm can make a big difference.

I was talking specifically of pure python code (except the python's standard library itself, where it really is unavoidable).
And aren’t we saying Iran has WMDs now?

Great timing guys.
As a tester, I have felt from the first time I ever saw Cucumber that it is part of a conspiracy by coders to avoid productive testing by trying to transform testing into code— like that guy who wrote scripts to handle all communication with his girlfriend.

Given that Gherkin language is insultingly stilted and simplistic, when I see Cucumber, then I want to vomit.
Most of the time these are arithmetic tight loops that require optimisations, and it's easy to extract those into separate compiled cython modules without losing overal cohesion within the same Python ecosystem.
Python is the new BASIC.

That pretty much says it all.
In theory, sure!

In practice, it will stay pinned for years until a CVE forces a patch upgrade that ends up triggering a dependency avalanche and weeks or months of headaches.
A typical nuclear station genrates 1 Gw. You'd need 1000000 square meters (=1000 sq km) to generate the same thing.

Oh and we can only capture 20-30 % of the energy of the total light.

We're going to need solar power, and fossile fuel is madness. But to deny that solar power is not 'dense' seems irrational.
Rare-earth-less high energy magnets have been the subject of research at the lab level for a while, funded at the university level by ARPA-E and elsewhere but which have never been commercialized. It is actually cutting edge work.

Iron nitride magnets are probably the most likely candidate, and they can actually have higher energy than rare earth magnets, and have particularly good high temperature coercivity compared to Neodymium based magnets, although not quite as high coercivity at room temperatures (but high temperature may be the limiting factor in existing motors).

So I don’t understand where this sad sack negativity comes from, because it most certainly doesn’t come from knowledge in the field. There are materials science improvements over time, and this is one such area. There can be a net improvement, not just a pure trade-off. Niron Magnetics is one such company trying to commercialize the material, and you can go to their location in Minneapolis and play with their iron nitride magnets if you like.

Tesla did use high energy cylindrical li-ion cells in their cars before others. Sometimes things improve, through the hard work of researchers.
Which dominant group isn't subject to slurs?
Ahhh thanks! I figured "TC" was "total compensation" but wasn't sure how to interpret 700 since $700k/yr seemed enormous, but if it's salary for a year plus a chunk of stock that vests over a few years that makes more sense.
As the models proliferate, I guess we'll be finding out soon. The torrent has been going pretty slow for me for the past couple hours, but it looks like there are a couple seeders, so eventually it'll hit that inflection point where there are enough seeders to give all the leechers full speed downloads.

Looking forward to the YouTube videos of random tinkerers seeing what sort of performance they can squeeze out of cheaper hardware.
Not to mention, the amount of violence committed by members of these outrage groups against whoever stands in their way - primarily towards the "offending" group or class they're prejudiced against, particularly whites, males, and straight sexual orientation.

Worse, this violence often goes unaccounted for with impunity, without penalty, because people are terrified of the consequences of criticizing these groups, whether that's losing friends, family, or jobs that are too closely attached to these justice movements, while quite blatantly refusing to acknowledge that these movements have grifted the crap out of our world, as we find that their leaders and spokespeople are everything from: disingenuous scammers using donation money entirely for self-serving purposes that do not advance their cause, all the way to being convicted child sex traffickers (Fox: BLM, reports from 2020).

But to condemn these movements for these reasons is nearly suicide in a society obsessed with staying in line with the "current thing", without scrutiny.
Conservator restoring things to their original state take great pains and sometimes use the original methods. I imagine that to be infeasible for the pyramids. Doing it differently would be changing the original thing. On the other hand it could serve to protect what still remains of the pyramids.
Corporate lawyers are essentially same thing as nuclear weapons, a deterrent that shouldn't exists and just eats resources of both sides.

This is usually managed with lock files.

Package spec puts down what it should work with, you pin a specific version in that range for your app that you've tested.

Otherwise updating things will never happen. Unless you have full separation between upstream dependencies (so you can have multiple versions at the same time) - and that brings huge questions - a single dep 3 steps away can stop you upgrading.

Ranges also communicate "this doesn't work with later than X" as well.
In one of my grumpier moments, I complained that we were "just digital sharecroppers." Looking back, I'm also grateful for the Microsoft ecosystem that has given me about 25 years of employment as a developer.

> There's a full Lisp implementation available in there.

Okay? Neovim and Lite XL ship with full Lua implementations. VSCode ships with a full JS implementation.

Being scriptable is not unique to Emacs. Though I do think the combination of
- big ecosystem (missing for Lite)
- scripting freedom (missing for VSC, iirc its plugin APIs are kinda limiting)
- GUI (neovim)
is pretty much unique.

A lot of other editors are also extensible, either via scripting or dynamically linking native code.

The only reason Org is unique to Emacs is that it's "too large to clone", i.e. it'd be a lot of work. I think a lot of editors could provide the same features with a plugin, given sufficient effort.

Human migration.

The thing that makes it weird is that "Jew" represents both a religion and a people. We really don't see that in other cultures or religions. Now as likely as my profile isn't going to be outed, but 'joining in' is a great way to be tarred as an anti-semite, whether you sincerely hate Jews or not.

And also, since you're Jewish, you're allowed to use comments and jokes like "Jewbilee". It's similar to how African Americans can use "nigga/nigger" amongst each other but is completely forbidden for anyone else. That's primarily due to the power dynamic of those words, and how they traditionally were used as a slur. This is examples where members of the group change the definition to be positive rather than negative.

I grew up with my trash of parents teaching 6 year old me to negotiate at flea markets by "jewing them down". And although I won't have children, I make a conscious choice not to continue that language. My language shapes my reality. So no.
In general, creating division between classes, races, religious groups presents opportunities for individuals to gather power by taking up the cause for one group. By establishing an “other” you have an enemy to rally support for your leadership. This is the basis of power for every demagogue from the Cleon in Athens to Joe McCarthy and the American Red Scare. This is also a core theme in Orwell’s 1984.

In the context of the OPs topic, there are those who honestly are trying to improve the world, but many people have new found careers and political power created by the division on both the Right and Left.
Either weaker magnets or more coils.
No, you’re wrong. It’s ePrivacy. GDPR set the framework, ePrivaxy has largely superseded.

Actually, I do use privacy mode at all times. The only hindrance is the need to recredential. I have a password manager that auto fills those forms in. It works great, and is better security overall. My cookies database shouldn’t be equivalent to a password file, and I don’t carry around a pile of spammy cookies handing them out to every invasive spy company, hoping an obnoxious pop up mandated by an ineffective regulation will shield me. I use computer science, which always works, rather than political science, which is just a degree for folks who like to drink too much.
Jupyter has code completion. Once in a while it even works.
The costs of sitting idly every time you travel, compared to doing some low-impact cardio over the same distance, for trips shorter than about 3 miles, definitely adds up over the years.

There's kTLS NIC offload. So in principle could splice a file into a pipe and then the pipe into a kTLS socket and have the NVMe drive DMA it to the NIC and then NIC encrypts it and the data never touches main memory or the CPU.
Ethical Concerns of Code Generation Through Artificial Intelligence
I used to use emacs-evil but found myself having to remember both vim and emacs keybindings. That may be my own fault since I probably wasn't using ALL the settings / extra packages that make vim keybindings work everywhere.

I've since switched to god-mode [0], which just turns emacs keybindings into modal ones. I find it works quite well. I think emacs keybindings are easier to remember but harder to use. Turning them modal solved that for me. (For example, Ctrl + F for forward, Ctrl + B for backward is easy to remember, but hjkl is right by your fingertips).

Side-note, it looks like god-mode was archived and then made part of the emacs orphanage. I started using it years after it was archived before it was part of the emacs orphanage. Noticed no issues, since again all it does is just make emacs keybindings modal.

I mean employees also leak/sabotage stuff while they're employed perhaps you should have a better system where 1 "rogue" employee can't trash it.

Imagine being a Google cloud customer and hearing that they need to give employees no notice of a firing in order to protect your data. Like that implies employees have unrestricted access!
> Offense is a you problem, not a me problem. We have abandoned the axiom of "sticks and stones"

I think you miss the point of "sticks and stones". The point is not that it's ok to say whatever you want to anyone else. The point of "sticks and stones" is not to let other people bring down your self-esteem.

Other people will intentionally try to denigrate you. They'll call you "stupid". They'll call you "ugly". Or they may call you a racial slur. That's all unacceptable. That's a "me" problem for the speaker. The point of "sticks and stones", on the other hand, is to resist internalizing these external insults and degradations. It's to put on a virtual suit of armor to protect you from verbal attacks — and let's be clear, they're real attacks.

You don't just "accidentally" beat someone with physical sticks and stones, right? The intention is to hurt, to break their bones, as it were. That's the analogy, with intentionally hurtful words.
> some of them are stupid

This doesn't sound like a stupid test at all: it safeguards against a regression by preventing anyone from changing the vector code. In an ideal world every bug would be caught by a human once and only once, and thereafter be tested.

I don't think weights can be copyrighted (unless overfit on your own other copywritten work), and I don't think weights shared broadly with the research community can be considered trade secrets. And even if they were trade secrets despite the wide sharing, only the people that leaked them could get into trouble, right? They aren't trade secrets anymore once you didn't keep them secret and they are out on torrents.
I have only used IDEs and tried getting into emacs because I heard so many times how great it is, but it was the learning curve paired with the lack of good tutorials for beginners that made me eventually give up.

Um, no? Flash memory cells hold a voltage. That voltage is not going to stay in there forever. It eventually leaks out and your data is corrupted. This isn't usually a problem because the cells refresh when powered on, and most people don't use flash drives for a decade -- but put it in a deposit box for more than a few years and you better cross your fingers when you plug it back in.

"During normal operation, the flash drive firmware routinely refreshes the cells to restore lost charge. However, when the flash is not powered the state of charge will naturally degrade with time."[0]

> Than what?

Than nothing. My point was that people say 'if you bought bitcoin you couldn't have lost money because on aggregate it has gone up'. This is incredibly misleading because many people bought bitcoin and lost it in an exchange collapse, or families had their investments disappear because the person managing it died or the wallet got phished with no recourse, or they forgot the passphrase, etc. This is a risk that is not mentioned when people proclaim the great investment that is bitcoin.

Emacs to me is probably one of the better examples of The Right Thing (c.f. Worse is Better essay), where UNIX is one of the canonical examples of WIB.
