For another n=1 opinion, I like Swift’s choice, even though it’s different from convention. It’s lighter, typographically. ‘${‘ draws more attention to the delimiters than ‘\(‘.

And yes, the delimiters could be made less obtrusive using syntax coloring, but not all tools will do that (e.g. when using grep on a code base)
Remember -Wall isn't all. -Wall -Wextra is the new -Wall.

I wonder how much of the performance will improve when compilers get better at RISC-V.

It's been a long time since I could beat the compiler at optimizing assembly on x86, yet in the end merely unrolling a loop and keeping an eye on write-read stalls I managed to get a simple "multiply array by const" about 56% less time (more than twice as fast):

And that's with hardware that doesn't even have vector instructions! I'd understand GCC not supporting that yet.

> GraphQL is a highly flexible option that’s better suited for building APIs that require complex data fetching and manipulation. It deftly avoids over-fetching and under-fetching data, leading to lower bandwidth usage and faster response times.

Yes, but have you tried implementing one?
It is not trivial at all to write performance GraphQL backends.

Often, it's a n+1 query you didn't write a batching version for that messes you up.

To be fair, he literally opened the post saying this is how to figure out your creative passion and not how to make money or have a "good" career.
His conversation with Rogan was fantastic on this. Probably one of the best interviews I have seen about the creative process. The genius of Rubin is in his honesty about what he enjoys, and recognizing it in others and drawing it out.

People on my team use it. I guess it's fine, but when they get stuck with git (a-la locate git.txt and call the number listed on it), I am sort of at a loss of what they did to get where they are. At least with git commands you can sort of see how they got there.

Just my 2c
I've thought about it, but I don't think that's actually an option. Renting is just going back to throwing money into some asshole landlord making profit off of other people not wanting to be houseless, and everywhere else where I'd have any possible desire to live is getting more and more expensive too, so even though I'm lucky in that my house has gone up a lot it doesn't actually do me any good if I want to buy again and I'd just be wasting that equity slowly by renting (and then be back in the same position in a few years having burnt all that equity up). Might as well try and figure out a way to stay instead; if I fail and lose it I'll just be in the same position I otherwise would be in, just a few years earlier.
I wouldn't give them too much credit. With the addition of the T2 "security" chip, your devices are bricks if they can't authenticate against your Apple ID. Combine that with them soldering together formerly modular components, and it's a very expensive lesson in you not owning your own hardware.
> An AI can 100% easily be sentient and don't give a rat's ass about forever being enslaved. These things don't have to come in a package just because in humans they do.

There are humans who apparently don't care either, though my comprehension of what people who are into BDSM mean by such words is… limited.

The point however is that sentience creates the possibility of it being bad.

> None of these are any more real than any of them. Just a choice of the training dataset.

Naturally. Also human actors are a thing, which demonstrate that is very easy for someone to pretend to be happy or sad, loving our traumatised, an sane or psychotic, and if done well the viewer cannot tell the real emotional state of the actor.

But (almost) nobody doubts that the actor had an inner state.

With AI… we can't gloss over the fact that there isn't even a good definition of consciousness to test against. Or rather, I don't think we ought to, as the actual glossing over is both possible and common.

While I don't expect any of the current various AI to be sentient, I can't prove it either way, and so far as I know neither can anyone else.

I think that if an AI is conscious, then it has the capacity to suffer (this may be a false inference given that consciousness itself is ill-defined); I also think that suffering is bad (the is-ought distinction doesn't require that, so it has to be a separate claim).

As I can't really be sure if any other mind is sentient — not even other humans, because sentience and consciousness and all that are badly defined terms — I err on the side of caution, which means assuming that other minds are sentient when it comes to the morality of harm done to them.

In this hypothetical situation where straight men had historically struggled to break into the ranks of successful computer scientists, it's likely that gay men would similarly feel that if they were to complain about too much straightness in the work place it would be a hate crime.

As usual, it starts with regulation for the sake of preventing some specific harm (e.g. having the model produce instructions for harmful activities). But, once you have the system in place, it will inevitably be used for morality by popular demand.

From company's perspective, moralism is commercial interests - it needs to be sufficiently non-objectionable for as many customers as possible.
Sure, but what’s the correct opinion right now?
I assumed I knew what `and get charged extra if they want them to act a certain way or do certain things` meant, but maybe not. I thought it was along the lines of acting romantic/sexual/etc. Maybe I'm way off but I'd think otherwise it would just be an AI friend.

I cannot wait for Linux to be fully usable on my Apple Silicon MBP. That is going to be such a killer environment to develop on.

Crazy fast hardware, great high refresh screen, insane battery life, fantastic touchpad, gestures and keyboard.

There is the potential that Windows games could run on it with some combination of x86 translation and Proton.

Using MacOS on it feels like I have a ferrari with square wheels.

Want to play games? Not unless the developers use Apple graphics APIs (not happening for new titles and never happening for old titles).

Want to run containerized workloads? Enjoy a cumbersome, slow, virtualized experience.

Want to use FUSE? Not on your work computer locked to high-sec mode as you cannot install kernel extensions (where is our user space FS Apple?).

Want to write a program that targets MacOS? Expect a cumbersome CI/CD experience because Apple expects you to manually compile distributables.

I could go on but as someone who has used MacOS for years and generally appreciates it, Apple really doesn't care much for developers. Other than its POSIX shell, MacOS doesn't have much going for it.

At least with my Intel MBP I could dual boot Windows so I could carry one laptop and switch between work and play. Now I have to carry around two computers when I travel for extended periods if I want to game.

I've just told them how to get laid. It's really not that difficult. Men keep getting wrapped around the axle about how women are to blame for them not getting laid, and no woman wants to have sex with a man who hates women.

I don't know how to break that cycle for those who are committed to it. But any sons of mine would understand that women just like to be treated with respect, and they'll be as successful with women as I have been.

I think I do really understand his philosophy…
An AI does not have a reptilian brain that fights, feeds, and fornicates. It does not have a mamailian brain that can fear and love and that you can make friends with. It is just matrix math predicting the next word.

The empathy that AI will create in people at the behest of the people doing the training will no doubt be weaponized to radicalize people to even sacrifice their lives for it, along with being used for purely commercial sales and marketing that will surpass many people's capability to resist.

Basic literacy in the future will be desensitizing people to pervasive AI superhuman persuasion. People will also have chatbots that they control on their own hardware that will protect them from other chatbots that try and convince them to do things.
It's decent if you've been in the loop enough to use it. It's not built-in. It's a good practice, for sure, but it not being built-in at the language level makes it insanely easy for a newcomer to just... Not use virtualenvs at all.

In contrast to Javascript/Node.js/NPM/Yarn/whatever-you-want-to-call-server-js, which maintains a local folder with dependencies for your project, instead of installing everything globally by default.

Heck, a virtual env is literally a bundled python version with the path variables overriden so that the global folder is actually a project folder, basically tricking Python into doing things The Correct Way.
So all of the employees get fired en masse, but the rich CEO, managers and shareholders actually responsible for malfeasance get an extended vacation?

After doing a switch from Render to DOAP, there are a few things that Render did better:
- Simpler dashboard and project structure. DOAP feels overly complex (project vs app?)
- Better handling of environment variables - the ability to have global ones was very useful
- Static site hosting with redirects is super handy

But otherwise there's very little difference. DOAP ends up a lot cheaper overall too.

LED filament bulbs do indeed use a driver circuit. Some use a voltage above mains [1] while others drive the LED chain around mains voltage but in a smoother regulated way [2].

Sometimes there's just a basic dropper cap circuit, though. Those flicker but not too badly. The LED design in these is different than in a discrete LED, with the phosphor being quite thick and having a distinct slow fade/afterglow when switched off. I think in this case they basically use the phosphor to smooth out flickering instead of electronics.

> I’m surprised that the current bid for the sword ($55,000) [1] exceeds the current bid of for the original manuscript ($35,000) [2].

Why are you surprised? I think about it like this: imagine you bought both and you are having a party. Folks come over, they have a good time, on one shelf they see a bunch of crumpled paper with pen scribles. They will most likely ignore that shelf because it looks like junk. On the other shelf they see a badass sword, clearly a piece of art. Much more likely that they compliment you on it. Much more likely that they will remember it, much more likely that they ask you for the story of it.

I love the book, but I’m absolutely not surprised that a cool looking unique object fetches more money than one which looks like junk.
> Except insolvency, nothing prevents the domain name owner from keeping the name

I maintained 100+ domains over the years, and had to stop renewing most of them because my income drastically got reduced and I couldn't afford to renew them 'forever'. I was careful about which ones got nuked. They were typically sites that received very little traffic and had their heyday and fun in the sun, and there was no point in having them live on for perpetuity.

The few remaining ones I renew (sometimes 10 years in advance because ICANN) still get a lot of traffic and I regularly check the hosting setup to see if they're operating properly, and I check for 404s and downtime, or missing assets like images, JS, etc

A domain is something you commit to. If the project atrophies, you have to be willing to nuke it. But there will always be domains which are too good to nuke.

The primary reason you don't want aluminum in your house is that homegamers will improperly do repairs, primarily replacing devices (receptacles, switches) with ones that are not rated CO/ALR rated. I doubt that failure will be as likely in the cars.

Properly terminated, there is no problem with aluminum wiring in your house. As another replier mentioned, most houses do have aluminum wiring in the run to the house and the run from the meter to the panel, and sometimes in the larger runs like stove and dryer.

It's also worth noting that the newer aluminum formulas like Southwire SIMpul, are not like the old aluminum like was installed in my house in the early '70s. But, buyers are still gunshy from the '70s, so copper is generally preferred

Benchmarks are excellent... but every git project I have read is trained on a Nvidia x100 cluster. And there were maybe 2 repositories than mentioned ROCm/CDNA on a single line in passing.

I cant recall ever seeing a cloud instance with it.

OpenVINO is also stupidly easy to use in PyTorch. Stable Diffusion (for instance) works with a single import and changing the device from "gpu" to "xpu." This is not my experience with other accelerators.

But alas if researchers cant peel themselves away from Nvidia, maybe Intel is smart to drop it and focus on something they can push as a CPU host, which might actually get researchers to use it.

I've also tried putting together the right hardware + software but found it a little overwhelming for my lack of expertise.
The (very good) writeup conveys this much better than I could, but briefly for folks not inclined to click/read through: it’s a design trade off. Apple’s solution conditionally sends excess power to the speakers—higher power to achieve better sound under safe conditions, lower power to protect the speakers from damage. It’s quite clever (and quite effective, although I’m sure some audiophiles would disagree), but it’s not the kind of design you’d want to use without an equivalent solution. It’s also an unintuitive benefit of having a whole lot of compute headroom to play with, where you can create an intentional footgun that has meaningful benefits but risks physical consequences, and then spend some of that headroom to disarm the gun.

A pure software analogy (because that’s what I know better) would be something like: race a bunch of speculative variant algorithms in parallel, knowing that you’re “wasting” compute time, where the probability of speculation being more optimal than hand tuning is high and pathological cases have a “safe” straightforward deoptimization.
