It is too bad Egypt does not try and restore the external layer the Pyramids had. From ancient text it said the Pyramids would glisten bright from the sun.

IIRC, they had a smooth limestone covering that was bright white.

Working with the public is different and yes, worse that software development. I was referring more to interactions with your boss or colleagues.
Influence is not causality. My seeing a piece of cake and deciding whether to eat it or not is the question on the table friend. Are you familiar with the idea of 'self control'?
I did the other way around. Went from teaching (university level) to FAANG. I could discuss for hours about the pros and cons of each job, but the bottom line is that I can't afford not earning that money. I'll save every single dollar I can from my SWE job and think about something else when I'm laid off, but I'm not leaving on my own.
The “subtitles for deaf and hard of hearing” on modern videos are a wonder and amazing. We regularly use subtitles because it can be hard to hear the movie over the kids, but SDH is great if you are mainly listening. Highly recommend everyone try it sometime.

Sometimes it is even a separate “language track” that describes what’s happening.
I feel like that a lot and I think it can happen with any profession. When you turn your interests and hobbies into a profession, you are bound to reach a point when you don't enjoy it anymore. I think a better, and a more balanced, approach is to keep some distance between your work and passion/hobbies.

This allows you to enjoy your hobbies without being bogged down by usual bureaucracy/pressure that you might deal with at work. So, continue working in tech (maybe reevaluate your role, amount of responsibility etc) and take music lessons, volunteer, join sport leagues, take pottery lessons etc.
For some people, sitting on a chair all day staring at a screen can be a true source of misery. When I am closer to nature, doing things with my body, I invariably feel better.
The issue could be time management and every database has same set of features but different implementations.

The point was that if you only need to train once, then it's cheaper to rent the GPUs than to buy them. If you need to train it multiple times, then the cost of buying the GPUs is amortized among runs.

In any case the cost per run is going to be lower than 30m
> I started getting threatening emails. Cease and desists.

If this is true then it further confirms to me that all Luis von Ahn's philanthropic guff was a fraudulent facade and he's always been about the money.

And this prompted me to look up his profile on wikipedia and I see that he's recently signed up to a US imperialist push to win back control over Central American countries (which have recently been slipping the US neocolonial leash, particularly El Salvador). Which only increases my disdain for the man.

I would take Nim over Python. Better designed, much faster. As readable as Python.
I really resonate with this. I work in academia and I finally decided that I don't want to do research any more, but I want to teach. The choice now is whether to take a teaching-only position in a university, or do something a little crazy and try to go back to my country and teach in a public school. Either way, I hope to feel the same as you say.

You claim that ChatGPT cannot understand anything because it merely pattern matches. Humans are basically pattern matching machines, we are just currently better than our computer counterparts. Do humans understand anything? I find this debate over whenever a computer can understand anything rather pointless. If something can produce useful output I don't care if it 'actually understands' anything.

Interesting suggestion. Could somebody in their 40s who’s only ever had a desk job get into this?
As a divine punishment?
I'm in exactly the same situation. Possibly.
The way this is described in a control systems framework is that the dynamics are non-minimum phase. A cool high-level video from Mathworks[1] explains in more mathematical detail. Being an experienced rider but having not looked into bicycle models in detail, I think it would make intuitive sense if the dynamics were only NMP for some operating points, particularly very low roll rates at very low roll angles. Or equivalently, the system behaves differently when it's in a banked turn (moderate roll with low roll rates) because gravity is starting to couple into the steering more. There is an angle where the steering switches modes depending on the geometry of the bike, and I think this is why road bikes "feel" "twitcher".

Edit - also OP, very cool thesis work!
This is basically how I feel about rescript these days. Typescript is really amazingly complex for what it ends up giving you. It's a big improvement over js, but I don't think that's the right comparison.

Using typescript we're already paying the costs of friction & indirection in tooling and learning another language. I know typescript has a ton of momentum and is unstoppable at this point but I wish things had turned out differently.
Just use vim. Yes, emacs has a lisp engine, but so does nvim[1]. Really, though, using vim properly means that it doesn't need to swallow the kitchen sink[2]. Just use vim.

How to bid on a first-class seat
https://biketips.com/calories-burned-biking/ says I burn ~600kcal to ride 20km.

600kcal is ~200g of bread + 20g of butter. Bread costs about 5€/kg, butter costs 2€ / 250g so 600kcal is roughly 1,25€.

My car uses about 6l gasoline per 100km, current price is ~1,60€ per liter, so 20km need 1,90€ of gasoline.

So if I just eat cheap food riding a bike is cheaper.

If I eat at McDonalds, then 600kcal is a hamburger with medium fries, which costs ~4,50€. Then taking the car is cheaper.

This is quite surprising!

Ok, he's referring to the product of the giga-press as a work of art.

Too bad they didnt print the engineer's rationale, because that article isn't about that. But it is certainly referring to the product of the Giga-press being cast as opposed to being an assembly. A similar advancement happened in the aerospace industry, except this time the press is already for sale from Italy.

What I would rather see instead of one engineer gushing about a high-end manufacturing process would be Elon investing in automotive engineers who know where to route critical components and how to design maintainability instead of tanking shares on a social media vanity acquisition.

Your investment is safe forever.
I don't think that's right - even if you had the full source code for either of those, it's extremely unlikely you'd be able to build them on your own machine.

Buying the GPU lets you amortize cost over years, probably 20-30 models of this size, at least. Probably better to use cost over time as a unit.

If an A100 costs $15k and is useful for 3 years, that’s $5k/year, $425/mo. 2048 A100’s cost $870k for a month.
I moved to Windows 10 for my MMO client, and I brought the cl.exe compiler with me and now I need to call "set __COMPAT_LAYER=WIN7RTM" before I run the game othervise file operations randomly fail.

It messes with my head, and is fundamentally discouranging.

Also I cannot distribute that compiler for legal reasons, so I need to add another compiler to my project delaying it many months.

Linux has other problems, like 32-bit vs. 64-bit.

It seems to me we're in a vortex of complexity that we will never escape, fundamentally fueled by peak lithography.

Seriously considering going back to the C64.
> moral authority

moral authority is only a talking point; a feint veil over the actual truth. Which is that the nuclear powers do not want more nuclear powers, lest those that aren't allies strong arm using nuclear blackmail (against, let's say, the USA's interests).

And tbh, i think ignoring moral authority, or "justice" or "peace", and talking about the truth, makes more sense.
By most measures, yes. Tech workers get more money, better hours, easier working conditions, and will impress your partner's parents more.

But I'd wager the barista gets thanked more often, and their customers like them more.

you really nailed it on the head, In way less of a way I made somewhat of a similar switch (not at all similar in the level of helping the world) from working at a huge national health/property insurance company (the literal devil) and now work for a welfare related government agency and I think not working for the devil REALLY helps as you say with sleeping at night, hopefully I can somehow make up karmically lol.

>The fewer theocratic dictatorships with nukes the better....the decisions to launch them lie with a few religious zealots who are known to not make good moral or ethical decisions.

Ironically that is Facebook that used torrent for binary distribution. (no idea if it's still the case, that was a very long time ago).
Some receivers have “dialogue boost” or otherwise let you adjust each channel individually.

More and more we just leave subtitles on, as too much dialog is easy to lose in the rest of the sound. I think it’s also a difference in how movies are made now; compare the pacing of Rocky with anything modern. Older movies stop the action to dialog; modern movies have quips over explosions
If everyone has nukes, the probability of a nuclear exchange goes towards 1. The probability of nukes landing on your city goes towards 1. We survived the last seventy-five years due to a relentless geopolitical exercise in limiting the proliferation of these weapons, often at great (moral and concrete cost.) We won’t survive an environment where every single tin-pot dictator has thermonuclear weapons mounted on ICBMs.
Most programmers don't actually need to know about that stuff, either. And most programmers who do need to know about that stuff, don't know about it.

"Sure, the situation seems dire. But as I said, once we have someone able to read a map, it's only going to be a matter of time until we win the game. All you have to do is fund our startup ! No need to make hard decisions, like "learning how to play". That's for ideologists !"

I'm just kidding, of course, I understand the enthousiasm.

Fusion is the kind of things we need yesterday. It's probably as clickbaity as writing "Breakthrough in finding a cure for pneumonia" back in the 1900s - people really needed that, at the time.

Then, someone discovered Penicilin, half by accident (at least, according to legend), and completely failed to gardner interest (at least, according to wikipedia [1].)

So, I really hope someone is _actually_ having a real breakthrough somewhere, right now, the kind that gets completely ignored until the world is changed forever.

And I wish the clickbaiter an early week-end - they do the less harm when they're _not_ working.

Your SHA256 hash won’t be able to summarize text, write poems, or make up plots for books.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and replace all the Python in the world with JavaScript.

The languages are practically equal in terms of features. They're both typeless with layered-on crutches available to make the runaway dynamism less painful. They both have weird footguns and ugly syntax and annoying design flaws, but these are different for each. So if you're forced to use both languages, it's an endless pain in the ass to remember which stupid runtime error can happen in JS but not Python and vice versa.

So JS can replace Python... But Python can't replace JS simply because it's unavoidable on the front-end. Since you must have JS code anyway, why use a language that's functionally very similar but different enough in syntax and API that you'll be writing bugs all the time? Just stick with JS and start drinking like me.
That's exactly what they want to avoid.

The true goal of event-driven is the separation of concenrns, so you don't call `execute_payment`, `send_confirmation_email`, `include_in_report_dashboard` etc inside a `complete_order`.

Instead, you emit "order_issued" event and all subscribers can act based on the event, completely unknown from `complete_order`.

At least that is how I understand it.

Maybe it's because to do cutting edge self-driving you need cutting edge software and machine learning engineers, and software engineers are less likely to put up with Elon's crap because they have more options?

Tesla and Space X get heavy talent (despite the downsides of working for Elon Musk) because in their primary fields they are the leader by a large enough margin that if you're one of the best there aren't a lot of other places to go that are going to really challenge you. That's just not the case for the software involved.
What A.I. we have today is better than a hand held HP scientific calculator in relation to the Space Shuttle under the guidance of IBM computers before Sun replaced them. The trouble is Elon M types rarely break through the class ceiling to leadership position and make informed technical decisions. (The effective Wintel monopoly on computing has had patchy performance compared to the HP calculator's correctness, see Nasa TIL on the 486 cpu.)
Tree-sitter builds a concrete syntax tree, not an abstract syntax tree, right?
It's because this is a cost-cutting measure that has nothing to do with national security. Aluminum wires and worse magnets in the motors, both of which will wear out a lot faster, are there to reduce the cost to make a Tesla and shorten the lifespan of the car.
>Traditionally, Prescriptivists tend to be political conservatives and Descriptivists tend to be liberals. But today’s most powerful influence on the norms of public English is actually a stern and exacting form of liberal Prescriptivism. I refer here to Politically Correct English (PCE), under whose conventions failing students become “high-potential” students and poor people “economically disadvantaged” and people in wheelchairs “differently abled” and a sentence like “White English and Black English are different, and you better learn White English or you’re not going to get good grades” is not blunt but “insensitive.” Although it’s common to make jokes about PCE (referring to ugly people as “aesthetically challenged” and so on), be advised that Politically Correct English’s various pre- and proscriptions are taken very seriously indeed by colleges and corporations and government agencies, whose institutional dialects now evolve under the beady scrutiny of a whole new kind of Language Police.

>From one perspective, the rise of PCE evinces a kind of Lenin-to-Stalinesque irony. That is, the same ideological principles that informed the original Descriptivist revolution — namely, the rejections of traditional authority (born of Vietnam) and of traditional inequality (born of the civil rights movement) — have now actually produced a far more inflexible Prescriptivism, one largely unencumbered by tradition or complexity and backed by the threat of real-world sanctions (termination, litigation) for those who fail to conform. This is funny in a dark way, maybe, and it’s true that most criticisms of PCE seem to consist in making fun of its trendiness or vapidity. This reviewer’s own opinion is that prescriptive PCE is not just silly but ideologically confused and harmful to its own cause.

Not that kind of earthquake.

Fracking does not and cannot cause large, deep earthquakes like the one recently in Turkey, in which plates significantly move in respect to each other.

They can cause very shallow, weak earthquakes, where the top of earth's crust slightly moves.
So doesnt things like windows defender offline scans and other offline scans where the HD bitlocker codes is typed in manually not detect the rootkit?

Half the problem I find with these security products is knowing what their actual abilities are and inabilities. I've assumed wrongly in the past that some security products are doing things when in fact they are not, and thats obviously an area for exploitation.
Would this also apply to rural populations in middle-income countries? I have some intuition telling me nowadays urban populations are too meek and prone to produce these results.
The splice system call could simply not return until the acknowledgment is in. That doesn’t solve the problem completely though because if a packet is dropped, it has to be retransmitted but the original data might have been modified which probably nobody expects.
Well, to be fair the "good python code" is probably just executing something written in c lol. But lots of python is backed up by stuff written in c.
But battery research is ongoing from a century at this point, we can't possibly think that Tesla just came out of nowhere and thought a solution nobody considered before such as using less rare elements.

It is most certainly a trade off and I'm not seeing where the cons are mentioned.

Moreover, lithium-ion batteries have by far the most efficienty energy density, so what is tesla getting rid of, most certainly not lithium, which is the bulk of the battery.
A light bulb went off in my head, is Neovim able to use Emacs as a GUI yet? Why emulate VIM in 2023 when you can just become a GUI for it.

They are saying you can run it on a CPU by doing this:

> However, code changes are necessary to achieve that, although they won't be crazy complex.

This is technically true. It will be very slow though.

However, give it 6 months and I think we might see an order of magnitude increase in speed on CPUs. This will still be too slow to be very useful though.
Programming is secondary to my primary duties and only a means for me to get other things done. I'm in constant tension between using Python and Rust.

With Python I can get things up and going very quickly with little boilerplate, but I find that I'm often stumbling on edge cases that I have to debug after the fact and that these instances necessarily happen exactly when I'm focused on another task. I also find that packaging for other users is a major headache.

With Rust, the development time is much higher for me, but I appreciate being able to use the type-system to enforce business logic and therefore find that I rarely have to return to debug some issue once I have it going.

It's a tough trade-off for me, because I appreciate the velocity of Python, but Rust likely saves me more time overall.
> I would love to know more about the industry in general. When you ship a container, what kind of tracking information do you get? Etc. Theoretically it's relatively easy (not easy but... relatively easy) for shipping companies to provide that info (they know that container X is on ship Y and presumably know where ship Y is and when it's expected in port) but, I don't know how that industry works.

I haven't worked in the industry, but I have worked for FedEx for a short time. I have to imagine there are at least some similarities.

At FedEx, you're supposed to scan each package "received" at the warehouse. And then scan it again when it's loaded onto a truck.

But when you have so many packages to deal with, sometimes boxes go onto the wrong truck. Sometimes boxes go onto the right truck, but they don't get scanned.

Sometimes boxes are mislabeled. Or misrouted.

Sometimes the recipient goes out of business. Or moves.

Sometimes the label is unreadable.

Sometimes there are multiple different addresses on the box.

I'm sure all that stuff happens to containers as well. Especially when the largest ships are above 14000 TEU.
