The rear brake is very important for initial braking, in order to transfer weight to the front, which allows harder braking without locking up the front tire.

When you initially hit the brakes, your braking potential is split around 50:50. At absolute maximum potential braking force, your rear tire is near lifting, so it's around 100:0.

That said, if you only have one brake, it's better to have it on the front than the rear.

Most car wiring harnesses are affixed to structural members and don’t need to flex.

And twice the resistance doesn’t matter. So you go one gauge bigger. If the material is cheaper, more available, and suitable, that’s fine. We don’t insist on gold wires because they’re “better” than copper.

It’s all tradeoffs. I don’t see a reason to be philosophically opposed to aluminum other than “it’s possible to do it wrong”, which is of course also true for copper.
I think it's great, surprisingly good at separating what I enter to return a response.

however, it has the mindset of an exam marker, not an interview. Let me elaborate - I listed 4 things as possible ways to optimise a machine learning model

The feedback for "How would you optimise a machine learning model" is
"You:
optimise the parameters; look at bias needs; can it be put into production? run test runs on small subset of the data first

Interviewer:

Your answer is a good start, but it could be more specific. Here are some tips to improve your answer: - When you say "optimize the parameters", make sure to clarify which parameters you mean. Are you referring to hyperparameters or model parameters? How would you go about tuning them? - Regarding bias, it's important to check for both bias and variance. How would you assess whether your model is suffering from high variance or bias? What steps would you take to address these issues? - When you say "put into production", this implies that you have a specific deployment strategy in mind. Can you elaborate on what that strategy might look like? How would you ensure that your model is scalable, reliable, and maintainable? - Running tests on a small subset of the data is a good idea, but how would you choose which subset to use? What metrics would you use to evaluate your model's performance? How would you know when you've achieved the desired level of performance?"

The last point is important, the point on subsets is the kind of question I would ask to test train/test/validation set and cross validation knowledge without prompting those terms.

But the first points are not necessarily a good idea. If a candidate went into so much detail on one point, they're not hitting the mark on succinctly and clearly communicating how they'd optimise a model. That should be for follow up questions.

That said, despite that the response is not interview like (let's say, an interview would just follow up with one question, not many), if I was warming up my skills for a job this would be a godsend, because it mentions all kinds of things that would catch me out in an interview... not sure I would actually learn them though, more learn the appearance of knowing them, which is an ironic reflection on ChatGPT itself...

There's also meow-mode[1], which isn't a vim emulator as such, but it is a different modal editing layer for Emacs which is a lot faster and has a lot of neat ideas. It doesn't interfere w/the stock keybinds at all though, which is much nicer imo (I use a 'hybrid' editing style generally)

There aren't that many TS features that actually require transpiling unless you want to write bleeding edge JS, and that's still a factor without typescript.

ts-node exists

My question is how do you reuse and test the JS doc signatures? Can I export comments? Will my tests fail if the types mismatch?

I bought the book hoping it wouldn‘t be too esoteric. I read the first two pages, wrote „you are what i feared“ on the second page and threw it in the corner out of frustration.

I didn‘t judge by the cover, i judged by the introduction.

Was I too quick, though? Should i reconsider reading it?
viper is just a vi layer, not vim, as far as I know. Being able to have basic vi movement and operators is where most of the value in vi[m] layers comes from, IMO, and I haven't yet found any problems there. The most recent bug I've been aware of in viper (not that I am any authority here) was when the Emacs maintainers broke basic Emacs alt/meta key sequences when viper was active, and that happened because they just weren't thinking/caring about viper, which is the reason I spoke up here in the first place - people don't really think about it and it gets neglected. It's a vicious cycle.

Adding types to code that was written with `any` is going to be much harder than using `unknown`.
> That being said, I wonder if I wouldn't be better off moving away from vim entirely

That's a surprising sentence to read, as someone who's also used to vim (although I've moved from vim to emacs+evil and not the other way around).

I have some gripes with my emacs+evil setup, just as I had some gripes with my vim (and then neovim) setup. But none of those gripes were related to the actual text editing, but rather making those tools behave like an IDE.

For the modal text editing, after I got used to it, I have zero complaints, and I feel much more comfortable editing any sort of text/code that way.

If I had to choose, I'd rather give up syntax highlighting than modal editing, because it has become so ingrained.
True, but you're giving up composability outside of Emacs. Think of CI/CD pipelines, for example.

I mean, you could probably run Emacs as part of your CI/CD pipeline, but it would be a bit... weird?
Tesorio is a ycombinator company. This is a ycombinator board - you'll see job ads for their companies appear from time to time. They tend to sit in the middle somewhere for the day and then they'll drop off.
Certainly they retain not just information but compute capacity in a way that other expensive transformations don’t. I’m hard pressed to think of another example where compute spend now can be banked and used to reduce compute requirements later. Rainbow tables maybe? But they’re much less general purpose.

Last time I checked (which was a few years ago), the performance gain of porting a non-trivial calculation-heavy piece of code from Python to OCaml was actually 25x. I believe that performance of Python has improved quite a lot since then (as has OCaml's), but I doubt it's sufficient to erase this difference.

And OCaml (which offers a productivity comparable to Python) is sensibly slower than Rust or C++.
I think you are confusing familiarity with ease of use.
Didn’t realize the model doesn’t want people using it. That holds more weight in my mind than the fact that it was in playboy.

It’s Cartesian, not circular. There’s a difference. We don’t need it rigorously defined for it to have meaning—that’s the point. (This does make it a word incompatible with precise endeavours like lawmaking.)
So then what did these people do? Just play games for money?

No -- they found bugs and reported them, probably by putting them into some sort of tool that has a DB, for "developer programmers" to "fix resolve".

They are QA. They're not programmers, but they sure are QA.
This, spacemacs development is a bit stalled. Also, I would just use vim if it had TRAMP mode.
With all due respect, you have to appreciate that nobody everybody thinks as you do. People in rural areas don't want to be "saved", and the vast majority have no interest in moving, let alone to a city - especially in current times, regardless of cost. Surprisingly there was a very recent poll on this exact issue [1].

As for maintenance, I'll elaborate on that story. People on the road of this town had been petitioning the government for years to get their road paved. Each time it'd rain, the road (made of mostly compacted dirt) would get into pretty rough shape. There'd been several accidents precisely because of this, particularly with kids, and it was also pretty rough on people's vehicles. People, as in people - not the government, would patch it up, but that'd take time, and it was non-trivial.

The government clearly had no interest in paving the road, so eventually the people raised the funds themselves over a rather lengthy period of time, and then paved the road themselves. As for maintenance, spot repairing potholes is a whole lot easier than dealing with part of a road getting washed out by rain. It wasn't cheap. And so things like this really make you wonder why you're paying taxes. And then you see headlines of a government and president seemingly gloating about sending hundreds of billions of dollars to countries half way around the world. It just doesn't inspire positive feelings, and makes the government seem desperately out of touch.

Why would you say that? Majority of code is repetitive. Why still focus on writing it for every project? I agree that you cannot have 100% of tests without actual code, but a significant percentage can just be feature files only.

One of the advantages of everyone using the same picture is that it's quite easy to compare different algorithms.

There are obviously better pictures that could be used - ones that would have characteristics that let you test and compare different aspects of whatever algorithms you are using.

Not sure the picture in the OP is particularly useful if I'm honest.

That's probably true, but I wouldn't be surprised if something like windows doesn't have a README file. And it does have build instructions they may well be in some wiki separated from the source code.
When I first started using code editors I chose Emacs but was often worried I made the wrong choice and should have used vim. Until one day I realized that what makes vim great is the keybindings, not the software. Take away the modal editing and all you are left with is another crappy terminal editor. Once I had that epiphany I switched to evil mode and never looked back.
Barq is pretty good, have seen a few bots on there but the thing is us furries as a target we're not really any sort of payoff - furries are mostly hip to any sort of scammy behaviour etc anyway and it's also really hard to make a bot that can masquerade as a furry vs "wot up bb click 2 see my boob pic" with a chick profile pic.

I always tell them to go build it in excel first. Than it to hand me. Sometimes I build it out in excel. 100% everytime they change everything about it several times over, but I can make all the changes requested in minutes instead of hours, days or weeks.

Implementing a working excel document in a modern language is trivial.

Neat observation. I wasn't doing much programming in 2004, but, I'm guessing 2004 Python would be like today's Rust. People learn it because they love it.
Cannot unsee. Regardless of source, not ethical.
Well, it kind of is a language thing. Many newer languages (Rust and Go come to mind) are much more consistent in the way you interact with them as your project scales.
> Turns out for this structure hash quality just doesn't matter very much. The identity function is all you need for mediocre results, and a really great hash produces only slightly improved results with this data structure, yet running the hash costs performance so why bother ?

Then it's the good choice - I'm pretty confident the only reason std::hash is explicitly in the standard library is because it's the only way they could find to enable people to specialize hash functions for their own custom types - checking when it was introduced (C++ TR1: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n18...), std::hash is in a subsection of the "unordered containers" section and is really shown as an implementation detail of those (that has to be user-customizable).

If you use another hash table implementation, likely you're also going to choose a hash function that works well with it - I use Ankerl's in my own code for instance which 1/ comes with a modern hash implementation, wyhash, and 2/ obviously I specialize for the really specific cases I need performance for with the known statistical properties of my inputs. But I wouldn't want to pay for this cost for std::unordered_map
Have you considered the "Enterprise Managed Users" feature? In my understanding this is where GitHub runs a separate instance of GitHub for you (i.e. it's not on public github.com) and one of the benefits (in my understanding) is things like globally-unique org names and such no longer applies.

Magnetless motors lag behind magnet-ed motors for efficiency.

However you design it, a magnet creates a magnetic field with zero power use, whereas any other source of magnetic field generation ends up using electrical power, generating heat (in a part hard to cool), and usually heavier for the same torque.

I'm disappointed that BMW doesn't give efficiency figures in their press release, because that is what has been pushing everyone else to the various kinds of BLDC/SynRM machines.
I think they probably did a lot of hyperparameter searching to train the smaller models and then extrapolated for the largest model, but I'm just guessing. OpenAI had a finite amount of money when they were training GPT-3, they likely do it differently now that inference costs are significant compared to training costs.
Static typing had a tighter feedback loop - you don't even need to run the code to see you made a (type) error.

Ability to do structural printing of arbitrary structures is not restricted to dynamically typed languages.

However, I actually think a good beginner language could be dynamic or static.

I’m not sure how getting rid of teachers’ unions will also stamp out small town clique effects (i.e., the “good ol’ boys’” network).
opt-175B doesn't exist; the largest one is opt-66B. And, at least in the tests I've run (not with the biggest one, but only up to a dozen billion parameters), all the opt models severely underperform with respect to even much smaller models. To the point that the launch of OPT (before BLOOM) was literally advertised as "the biggest OpenSource language model released to date", because they couldn't push on much else.

BLOOM goes indeed up to 175B parameters, and is certainly better than OPT. However, at least in my specific tests, it's still significantly inferior to OpenAI models, and actually on par with a few smaller models. There's also a "newer" fine-tuned model, called BLOOMZ, but at least in my tests it's even worse. Of course, that depends a lot on what you ask the model to do...

If LLAMA can indeed match OpenAI products, and do so with much fewer parameters, then it would be really great, and I'd really like to test it. However, even if the weights are now in the wild, using them would be clearly against the user agreement, and there's no way I'm going to do that in my work time :-) so let's hope Meta will come to sense and release them with a more friendly set of terms...
I was in Silicon valley for most of my time, lucky to have Tom Perkins as our Chairman and Ceo for our first startup as he taught us how to ignore the "shiny" tech.

That is absolutely true.

But sometimes, you do end up writing that compute heavy piece of code. At that stage, you have to learn how to write your own native library :)

Speaking of which, I've written some Python modules in Rust using PyO3, its' a very agreeable experience.
Wouldn't there be a bunch of releases with newer numbers? Or would that function maintain a module number of 1, while other functions in the same file would have updated to 2,4,5?
