I could write a book about it over just what I've seen with my own eyes for 30 years. I wish someone would have forced me to see that, when this happens, it's almost always because someone is making a _conscious_ choice to do so, NOT because "they're stupid." It would have saved me an unbelievable amount of time and frustration, trying to "correct" their thinking from a place of naiveté and best intentions. My personality is such that I couldn't conceive that this path would have been chosen, as I thought it would be (in essence) "evil." Really, it's just another strategy for whatever "success" they can achieve, by people who don't have any of the other tools at their disposal. It's sad, but it's a fact of life and the nature of the human race. Once you can understand this, it's easier to recognize it, and just route around it. It took me 20 years to get it. I hope others fare better.

It's easy to avoid JS on the front-end : just wave your wand!
It has the highest EV penetration in the world. Nearly every single new car sold is an EV. It's therefore a great indicator about how various EVs will fare on a greater scale, perhaps.
Here's how out-of-the-loop I am: I'd don't know the command line method for invoking the JS runtime on my computer! What it is? I regularly image my laptop, so I'd like to know what the system JS command line is. (I use Linux & macOS.)
Yes, no class action suit destroying the company could ever come from that little conspiracy.
I’d say that Ruby and even Perl are a lot nicer for scripting than Python (due to the extremely low-effort unix interop). Python can do it but it’s a while lot more verbose and difficult for a beginner to learn than “anything inside a pair of backticks is run as a system command and you can interpolate variables”.

Python was friendlier for beginners than Ruby the first time I took a real stab at learning to code during a CNY holiday in 2008, but it wasn’t about the language itself. Ruby was harder then because many of the popular libraries and many of the tutorials were written by people who considered Windows support as an afterthought. It’s hard to express how frustrating it was to have my vacation days ticking down, hitting issues in one tutorial after another and having people suggest I install linux on a VM (a process where I hit still more snags).

People learning Python and PHP didn’t hit that hurdle. I ended up learning Flash on my Asus laptop a couple of years later and getting my start that way and not coming back to Ruby until six years later when I was a much more experienced dev.
Think about a secured loan to buy a house, ie a mortgage.
Yeah, it works. You just have to remember, if it doesn't, in doubt use "git submodule update", or if this doesn't cut it use "git submodule update --init --recursive". Or maybe you should have run "git submodule sync" first? :)

However I agree with others in this thread that it's easier to develop a bunch of modules that are used in a top-level project. Just change to the subdirectories, change the files, then when you are done commit the subprojects then commit the submodules commit ids to the parent project.
reddit mods suck tbh
This isn't about modern houses. Houses built in the 70s are also incredibly expensive.
I disagree that Emacs losing market share necessarily means that people find more value in various editors. While that could be the cause, there are various other possibilities: more people are being mandated the use of various of those editors, those editors may have better marketing, the systems people are using may come standard with editors that are "good enough",...

This strategy is low-risk but also low-reward. The most successful people in life often gain expertise in some specific, changing area, then get extremely lucky to have it pan out.

I think of the Admiral Chester Nimitz. All of his peers studied and worked on battleships because that's what the Navy had done for hundreds of years. But when WW2 entered the scene, Nimitz - the one guy studying the rapidly-changing area of submarines and aircraft carriers - was the one promoted to the highest command.

Using a pet project nobody is expected to use as an example is a nil point, I could release a pet project in "WTFPL" or "Fuck You Nobody Is Allowed To Use" license and it wouldn't make a difference , if the concerns are that low for said project.

Monetization in FOSS is a systemic issue, with few exceptions, but even then you are far more likely that companies won't want to risk leeching with a GPL like license than a permissive one because of the code sharing requirement, which MIT/BSD at best only incentives as goodwill because of complexity maintaining the project they rely on.

I also find it funny you create a strawman, i never stated any adoration of GPL.
All of my shorts are 0.5% or below, most of them are 0.25%. I also said you would have to monitor fee rates. And market cap as well (for example AMC would be too small in your example).

Treasuries are quite correlated with the stock market as both depend on liquidity, so it's not exactly a hedge, although they tend to do better during recessions, they will go down during unexpected hikes.

But you just said it was not Meta. Is that based on internal information? ;-)
But this is a false dichotomy. The space of options isn't C++/Rust or Python. There are languages which attempt to give the best of both worlds, e.g. Julia.

> they're using a library where those issues have been abstracted away.

I work in Python, and while libraries like numpy have certainly abstracted away some of those issues, there's still so much performance left of the table because Python is still Python.
Those cases are about 95% of scientific programming.

This is the first line in most scientific code:

import numpy

It is useful to me. It allows me to search for apps while offline, and wait for non-metered data to actually download it; it's something I find myself using a lot
You do need to guess things like activation functions, number of attention heads, order of attention layers, etc. Often the parameter names reveal something about these.

That's right. That's the other side coin. But I'm not convinced it matters that much nowadays when most languages provide code formatters.
It was already the most open language model in its class, given that the code for training and inference was available and it only used public data for training.

For Google and OpenAIs offerings, have fun reimplementing it from descriptions in the paper (including small crucial details that they may have left out), training it for a month, and then wondering if the implementation or the training data is the reason your model isn't as good as theirs.
Good point. I edited the question a bit, if you have a chance to start from scratch.
Well, it's a newish power niche that's getting exploited.

(One (postmodern) interpretation is that it's yet another "society of control" in crisis. Basically, the old tools that provided stability (social conventions, morals, beliefs/prejudices) all used to look like big formalish institutions, from family-school-factory-military-prison, and you were either in the system or completely out of it. But as this system of systems post-WWII has "eaten the world" it's now bound to face its own limitations, hence the crisis. Hence all the reforms, real and so-called ones.)

The niche is (was) that most people has (had) only a super basic over-simplistic belief about language, which could be summed up as "something something the n-word". Instead of the more correct "when talking to/about someone it's very disrespectful to call them names they don't like".

> I am also asked to remember how to modify my grammar or lexicon when in vicinity of a given person?

No? Same grammar regardless of who is near, just need to remember which pronouns to designate which people, which:

- is the intuitive one for most people

- the asked pronoun for the few people who have pronouns that don't match your intuition.

(I also have troubles with remembering names, but pronouns are fine)

And for not implying a gender when speaking of someone for who we don't the gender, it's a constant exercise that also does not depend on the vicinity of a given person.

It requires some effort, of course.
Was a bug in an AM335x SoC, from TI. Our HW engineers accidentally missed an errata, which I managed to re-discover and track down independently. Once in a while it caused a CPU timer to get "stuck", essentially halting most of the operating system - due to an improperly grounded crystal. Sometimes it happened twice a week, sometimes it was hiding for half a month. I pulled out half of my hair by the time I managed to get to the bottom of it, it took months.
No, because academics or professors don't care about real software enginneering and best practices.
It feels a bit hypocritical to make this sort of proclamation on a social media site with extremely strict moderation.

Almost as though this isn't as simple a topic as "stick and stones" and that everyone has different tolerances for what they'll put up with depending on the setting and context.
Arguably it's not low quality code, but low quality system. Code can be correct, clear, and documented, and still be fragile and sensitive to platform configuration changes. E.g. "how many switches do I have to change in the build system before the code no longer builds?", "how many network jacks can I move this server over before I lobotomize the system?"
I do generally want a fixed commit. I often want to improve the code in the submodule possibly (voluntarily or accidently) introducing breaking changes without worrying about breaking repos that contain it as submodule.
Your link seems to agree with the original article, not with your comment:

> To be most effective, Vim should be used from inside other tools. Vim inside IntelliJ, Vim inside VS Code.

Beliefs, yes. But which part of the Inquisition was specifically about banning long lists of specific words, replacing them with semantically identical equivalents? Perhaps they did it, my history isn't that good, but the wiki page doesn't seem to discuss it much if so.
I'd say if you do data-intenstive computation with Numpy you are not leaving much on the table due to Python.
Either you get a nice invitation to collaborate on research with one of your uni's professors..... or you get sent to academic/disciplinary review and probably suspended for the semester.
“Hey by the way that word is offensive” isn’t really the same as being offended. It was a 5 second interaction where they were like “that word is like jewed or welshed but for the Roma” and I was like, “my bad didn’t know that.” That was it. Despite what the internet told me I wasn’t immediately canceled. Like what is the point you’re trying to make, that it’s not offensive or that someone who isn’t Roma isn’t allowed to recognize that using an ethnicity’s name as a verb in a disparaging way is offensive?
Agreed. Zig for example is considering triggering an error for incorrectly indented code/misleading indentation:

Tech interviews expect esoteric minutia to be on the top of your mind and easily recallable. You also must be able to talk about past projects in great detail as if you worked on them yesterday.

If you take more than a few months off interviews become insanely hard.
I usually update repos while on wifi, then search, then use wifi again to download. I like the flexibility of not having to be connected, my phone has more than enough storage space to store a few MBs of repo database

Well, look at all the countries that scrapped their nuclear programs and with that got invaded (Iraq, Libya, Ukraine).

And look at those who actually developed nuclear weapons and ensured they have a strong defense deterrent (such as North Korea).

You're looking at it with a very north-atlantic centred perspective.

It's kinda embarrassing, JB wants to push their new editor, but even months after public beta, the vim emulator is still barely usable, and afaict it's maybe like 1-2 people working on this.

I don't get it, if you are targeting developers, why is it that having Vim keybindings not a top priority? Or am I living in my own circle?

You should explain what did not work with Julia since there is extreme likelihood the situation will be worse with Carbon, given Carbon is just getting started. The best option might be to stick with Python (or C++)

Why not? I^2*r says that running 75% less current will generate 94% less heat.

Existing copper wires would be a disaster if cars ran on a 3V system. Aluminum at 48V will be fine, as long as it’s sized appropriately the same way copper is today.

You don't even have to be offensive. Just give an all hands where the leadership publicly commits to merit-based promotion/hiring, tell people the org is now "mission focussed", stick a few rugs around the place that say "Meritocracy" on them and then get rid of anyone who complains. No offense will be taken by anyone who you don't want to be offended.
Any plans to go open-source? Untrusted code like this is unlikely to be allowed to exfiltrate data from most secured private codebases.
I’m still in tech and absolutely still love AI / ML research.

That said, I’ve started a farm. Mostly because:

(a) I enjoy being independent and growing the majority of my own food enables that

(b) its very satisfying to provide for yourself and family

(C) there’s a very real possibility that AGI takes away many jobs; having land, your own resources, etc is real wealth

(D) I can work 100% remote and hire someone where I’m at to do much of the farm work ($20k out here is a good part-time job).

I’m into growing niche items (working on getting a registered highland cattle herd), organic honey, ginseng root, expensive flowers like snap dragons, etc - haven’t made a profit quite yet, but farms are tax deductible. So, if you’re still working, you can write off the losses. Once it’s up and running you then pay taxes, but you have a profit. Takes typically 3-7 years to make a profit though

Most profitably small farms focus on niche stuff. One of the neighbors runs a co-op selling raw milk at $15/gal and specialty pig meat.

I don’t think it’s super profitable by any means. That said my property value has doubled in the last few years and cows reproduce (literally growing in wealth).
Is this a personal or business decision you are talking about?

Can you elaborate the cons that made you decide to move away from Python, C++, and Julia?

Julia makes sense to me, as the youngest production language and community.

But Python? It is the #1 most popular programming language globally. C++ is also very popular. This means you can easily find people to hire globally (making business easier and more economical). You can also easily find code doing almost anything you want---speeding up time to value and time to ship.

I'm wondering what cons are driving your decisions to move on from Python and C++?
There is rather large ecosystem of tooling for poking and peeking the insides of VMs, usually called "VMI" (virtual machine introspection). kvm-vmi is one such example, but there are many others https://github.com/KVM-VMI/kvm-vmi
I think at this point we should quantify the proportion of "inflationary" updates (i.e. those that bring absolutely nothing in terms of functionality or security) versus real updates.

Let's take a fictional example: I import D3.js to use the parseDSV() function, after 2 years the method has not received any updates, but the package has gone from version 1.0.2 to 5.0.2. With a granular system, my function would still be on version 1.0.2 (because no changes were made), but with the current system I would have received an unnecessary update.

So, in this case, granular versioning would actually help to put an end to the chaos of dependencies.

Carbon seems much more "low-level" and less "dynamic" than Julia? They don't seem to play in the same domain. If you're looking for a lower-level language than Julia, supporting operations on vectors, Zig is interested (usable but still in development): https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Vectors. But it relies on manual memory management (no garbage collector).

Avoiding overfitting has struck me as being possibly behind the creativity and psychological benefits that some people experience from psychedelics too. Psychedelics seem to be capable of kicking the brain out of some kind of local maximum in which it is stuck.

Being "stuck in a rut," having depression or PTSD, or just being uncreative could be symptoms of the brain having overfit to some past set of stimuli.

Laid off in the US generally implies there is some severance pay. We do not get any details, but I would assume he gets some severance pay that he isn't talking about (he probably cannot, and it is possible given the details that he doesn't even know yet)

There is fired for cause cases where the login stops working at the same time as your pay stop, but for cause means you screwed up, and your pay probably should have stopped several months ago but it took time to investigate to ensure you really were that bad.

I've been thinking about doing this! Also have considered ditching my phone, or downgrading to a dumb one.
