Only if all taxpayers get an equal settlement. And even then perhaps that money would have been spent on another group: “sorry no fighter jets this year money went privacy lawsuits”. So some taxpayers could come out ahead in the event of privacy lawsuits.
I was trying to average it out across the low COL areas :).

But here in the Bay Area, for 2Y+ you can find daycares for that amount. Also home day cares are also an option and they tend to be between 1.5-2k a month.

When you're looking for <2Y care though? That fucking sucks, because of the (understandable) ratio laws, prices are high 2ks to 3k here.

To a certain extent, I agree that you also don't want overly small components, but it feels a lot like the debate about function size. Sure, you don't want to wrap every statement in its own function, you want functions that are big enough to actually do something useful, but as a rule of thumb, smaller is better than larger.

This isn't a theoretical concern either. Like I said, I've had this issue with Vue before, and component sizes just bloated to the point where many pages were just single, chaotically interwoven components with dozens of state variables that theoretically were never used by each other, but in practice tended to be shared accidentally or out of short term convenience. At which point all bets are off and every bug becomes an exercise in figuring out what's going on.

That's not to say that that's a Vue-specific problem, because I've also had that issue in other frameworks, including React. But far less often in React, because it's much easier to deal with the pain when it starts with a simple refactor, than dealing with it a year and several new features down the line when everything is tangled together like a headphone cord in your pocket.
Black holes probably don’t have infinite density but that doesn’t stop us from finding utility in the theory of relativity.

The funny thing is that you could run a whole company with just this device. It has enough processing power to manage everyone's payroll, keep track of cashflow, inventory and orders and calculate a myriad of spreadsheet formulas.

> to make sure early employees don't get rich before the IPO

Former stripe employee here. This is not the case - early employees have been able to cash out on favorable (or at least reasonable) terms. Some limits, not perfect, etc, but I don't think that part of the narrative applies in this case.
They do train SOTA models, for sure, but do either of them produce accelerators or ML frameworks?

Very impressive, great job!

What was an interesting challenge with this that no one has asked you about yet?
They're definitely using cellular records to track people. I've known people with insider connections to the agency who got such information.
There's a cost benefit consideration to it, yes.

If you don't want them to see it, there isn't much they can do to get beyond "I don't recall" or ever prove that you did in fact recall when you said that.

It absolutely will infuriate them though, and many of these people are petty fragile egomaniacs who will absolutely try to retaliate against any real or perceived slight. Even if they don't have anything else on you they could choose to use the process and the resources of the state to punish you. You have to expect that. They won't get the evidence or destruction of evidence though.
This allows for 'winter' / 'summer' homes (snowbirds) as well as moving, but is SLIGHTLY larger than 1/3rd which makes it impossible to have more than two homes, while allowing the maximum chronological allowance for moving and the minimum requirement for using such a vacation home or log cabin etc.

So we're doing the what is old is new again?

Next, I'll be reading having to wear a coat and tie on a zoom call. The old days you had to have your IBM approved suit with your high&tight (or similarly strict) hair style and closely shaved face. Everyone got sick of that, and it went to casual fridays are still too uptight, so flip flops, shorts and tanktops became the norm. Long hair any above the shoulders became fashionable, and bonus points if you pulled it up into a bun.

now, the pendulum has swung back, and people are trying to differentiate themselves by going back to smartly dressed clean cut. round round like a record, and yet it never ceases to amaze how the repeat makes it out like its the brand new thing nobody has ever seen before. just like redoing your entire code base in $newLanguageDijour.

That's awesome! It's completely normal to be dissatisfied. But what you're facing, you're likely to face in other industries also. I, too, thought that I had a deep dislike for tech. But when I got a better job, I realized how fulfilling programming can be when your core focus is on actually coding, not navigating the bureaucracy and how far you can grow when you're constantly challenged. Your post does indicate you like programming to an extent. So maybe autonomy is something you can try to fix.

For Rails as an API? Yes. There are plenty of examples where Rails as an API, and specifically not using ActiveRecord, gets you 10ms response time excluding DB.

But most of the Rails app, especially those with ActiveRecord and Server side rendering spend 60+% of response time, And in many cases even higher before hitting DB. And they fall into 100 to 200ms response time category.
What goods are suitable for selling on the Wish platform?
Typical types of items sold on the Wish platform include:
Fashion Clothing
Baby and kids' items
Gadgets and mobile phone accessories
Watches and Jewelry
Home decor items
Bags and wallets
Makeup and beauty products

The goods that are explicitly prohibited from sale on the Wish platform are:
Non-physical service items
Counterfeit and shoddy products
Virtual goods and virtual electronic products
Gift card
Alcohol products
Tobacco/lighter
Hazardous chemicals
Gun products and high imitation
Pornographic products

Another thing that needs to be noted is that the Wish platform is a 13+ platform, so to use the Services, products that are unsuitable for those under 13 years old will not be allowed to sell on the platform.

Can I register multiple accounts on the Wish platform?
The Wish platform does not allow the same user to register multiple accounts. However, for cross-border e-commerce sellers, owning one more account means owning one more insurance. So, when registering multiple accounts, please remember to do an excellent job in anti-detection work.

Wish multi-account anti-detection tool: MuLogin Anti-detect Browser!
MuLogin Anti-detect Browser can generate multiple unique fingerprint browsers, each browser is just like a different hardware device, and the browsers are physically separated from each other. Integrate with the current most popular proxies, users can also configure their own IP address where the site is located to realize multiple accounts management of cross-border e-commerce stores.
Visit MuLogin official website to know more details.
I know there are mechanical energy harvesting watches; I imagine making a similar smartwatch would be much harder with the higher energy requirement. And the issue with solar panels is the tendency for people to wear long sleeves, stay indoors, sleep, etc.

> For steering you're exactly wrong. Drive an old car without power steering, on the highway you'll barely notice, but you'll be using all your might to park. It's much easier to steer a rolling tire.

So you're talking about the force the human has to use to turn the steering wheel. In a car with power steering, the human doesn't have to do much, because the pump effectively amplifies the force and exerts it on the tie rods, steering, etc. etc.

Either way, the forces on the steering components are the same, and they're not a problem.

> Power steering systems create heat and rely on airflow for cooling...so prolonged steering back and forth in a parking space is a worst case scenario for the system.

I assume you mean while the engine is idling.. in which case the main cooling fan will kick on when the temp of any component requires it, so it's perfectly fine.
Classic FM radio uses a lot of compression. This has always been true, it's just that the nature of that compression has changed. And I mean a lot of compression.

From what I hear, people will just dial up the settings on the audio processing chain at a modern FM radio station.
Stripe doesn't want employees to sell stock to random third parties. This forces them to sell to a single buyer.
This is the first time I’ve seen anyone claim B vitamins play a role in carbohydrate metabolism. Do you have any sources?

Edit: Aha, from a bit of googling it looks like they are required cofactors for various enzymes.
Do you have an open source library or reference code to share? It sounds like a good idea.
Enthusiastic paying Kagi user here and I felt the same. What helped is to find the "Usage" section of my account (under the Billing section) to see how many searches I've been doing in past months. In March, so far, I've done 180. I wonder if they count "!g" searches? I don't use this often, but I'm curious.

We are all waking up to realize what it takes to run a profitable search company without ads and surveillance capitalism. I am genuinely happy with Kagi's service, but I am confident that less-technical users would rather just keep using "free" search like Google, Bing, etc. The vast majority of users just don't know or care about privacy, and even if they do, the vast majority of people in the world aren't going to pay for search!
Oh well if all the Rails site could render a medium size App with 10-20ms response time then no one should be complaining.
They're solving the same "high level problem", but with very different approaches.

TensorRT is proprietary to Nvidia and Nvidia hardware. You'd take a {PyTorch, Tensorflow, <insert some other ML framework>} model and "export / convert" it into essentially a binary. Assuming all goes well (and in practice rarely does, at least on first try - more on this later), you now automatically leverage other Nvidia card features such as Tensor cores and can serve a model that runs significantly faster.

The problem is TensorRT being exclusive to Nvidia. The APIs for doing more advanced ML techniques like deep learning optimization requires significant lock-in to their APIs, if they are even available in the first place. And all these assuming they work as documented.

OpenXLA (and other players in the ecosystem like TVM) aim to "democratize" this so there are more support both upstream (# of supported ML frameworks) and downstream (# of hardware accelerators other than Nvidia). It's yet another layer or two that ML compiler engineers will need to stitch together, but once implemented, they in theory can do a lot of optimization techniques largely independent of the hardware targets underneath.

Note that further down in the article they mention other compiler frameworks like MLIR. You can then hypothetically lower (compiler terminology) it to a TensorRT MLIR dialect that then in turn runs on the Nvidia GPU.
Not OP, but one reason could be that if a lot of early infrastructure was debt financed, cities will have an increasingly harder time paying for infrastructure maintenance over time
I read in the FAQ that "bang" searches (e.g. !g) don't count towards usage.
It’s a pretty great API, I’d say! The alternatives also have their own warts.
… is there such a thing? For a Rolleiflex?
I'm Norwegian and my buddy works with robots. But let's disregard that; Norwegians are just 0.06% of the world and your point is probably about the typical case, not about rare exceptions.

I think your real point is that deep diving skills and robots are extremely rare, perhaps except some pockets such as Norway. You might be right... but my basic assumption would be that the same skills and equipment are easy to find in every port large enough to have a construction industry for undersea pipelines etc.
Yeah for a while before RPi and Arduino embedded/DSP dev hardware was pricey. I still remember when I worked for ADI that their “EZ-Kit” SHARC and Blackfin development boards were insanely expensive, >$500 each or so. The real kicker was that the JTAG emulator you programmed it with with cost thousands of dollars. Never made sense to me, I always figured if people were putting in orders worth millions, why not just offer dev kits and software for some nominal fee.

Someone later produced a cheaper Blackfin dev board called the “STAMP” and sold it for ~$100ish and worked to support uCLinux and a GCC backend. Picked one of those up and did a bunch of hacking in my own time, really fun stuff.
It is the first time I heard that Qt was bloated. Is this true? If so, I would like to know what other UI toolkits do that is less bloated.
51% of the pipelines are owned by Russia which is waging war against Ukraine. Which makes them a completely fair target.

That they were successfully destroyed may make you unhappy because you favor Russia. But such as it is.

Because receiving any kind of asset is a gain. For tax purposes an asset is valued at market or assessed rates depending on the type of asset (real estate, cars, stocks, etc.)

It’s tempting to think that we should just tax cash income, but that introduces tax avoidance incentives like being paid in assets instead of cash, unless it’s paired with a corporate income tax.
There have been some studies on how audio / video quality affects perception, and from what I remember of the studies, audio quality has a bigger impact. It's better to have clear audio with a poor image, and it's worse to have poor audio with a clear image.

I guess this can be used to eliminate dead code from your projects as well. Cases that you thought were executed but, in reality, are not.

I am curious if the overhead of this feature allows for running it in production for some time, let’s say a day.
Stripe was trading at $150 a share in the private market which valued it at ~$135B at some point. I think the investors who got in at $10B would be lucky to see a return.

My guess is founder/early employee stock has already exited as much as possible and notional value still on the books will be mostly wiped out

Stripe is a super paranoid company that knows it's valuation is tied to it's hype and they spend absurd $ on legal and "business intelligence" because the truth is they are really just a nicely documented API that any regulated entity can provide.

If/when they stop subsidizing their growth with investor $, Stripe common stock = 0
OpenXLA is an open-source library for accelerating linear algebra computations on a variety of hardware platforms, while TensorRT is a proprietary library from NVIDIA that's specifically designed for optimizing neural network inference performance on NVIDIA GPUs.
> I can take any financial gain and turn it into a "paper profit"

if you did, you would not have access to make use of those "paper profits" for consumption - it would remain an investment. This makes taxing it egregious imho.
> Even if pixels are not little squares it’s a useful abstraction.

Zero-size points are the abstraction; "little squares" are more complicated and hardware-dependent, e.g. What's their area? What's their aspect ratio (are they actually square)? How are the sub-pixels arranged? etc.

When it comes to e.g. pixel art, etc. I think it's more precise to say: nearest-neighbour interpolation is a useful simplification.
Needs?

Maybe! I'd like to think of ONNX being the first standardization wave. That said, there are lots of technical limitations, such as:
1) It being a protobuf with 2GB file size hard limit. Makes it really hard and painful for large ML models.
2) Graph rewriting on these protobuf messages are extremely painful - takes significant engineering effort to productionize a ML model

Lots of innovation here. Time for a proper DL compiler.
That code was a joy to read, that is an example of comments done right. Such a pleasure to see comments that actually describe the intent of a function rather than stepping through the code, although doing it well is definitely much harder work.
I hear people saying this, but there are lots of people like myself who worked in the service industry, and as professional drivers for a long time before getting into tech (I was a delivery driver long before Uber was a thing though).

Every job is stressful, but I often miss the other jobs I did (and would go back in a heartbeat if I could even net the equivalent of 45K USD). They're stressful in a different way, but at the end of the day you leave and your time until your next shift is your own in a way that I haven't experienced in a few years.

> The back pain, being on the road all the time, and having to work even when "you're not in the mood" is enough to make you realize that there's no better money than IT money.

I'm not sure how you figure the back pain from driving an Uber is worse than sitting at a desk all day long.

And I love being on the road, listening to podcasts etc (obviously if I was driving passengers I might not be able to, but then again, I think a headset would be fine)
Honestly usually a forum dies because the community itself died first and no one cares about the thing anymore.

Google Groups may have lasted this long but as far as I’m concerned, it already died long ago and there was no reason to even go to it anymore.

There are still forums that out there that have survived two decades or more because their community is still alive. And keeping a community alive is not a technical matter.
If they become worth zero do you not have a capital loss to deduct from future income? So you would gradually recover the tax paid when you got the now worthless shares in the form of future taxes you don’t have to pay.
An 83(b) election is only useful if the value of the shares is low. The income tax is negligible and the capital gains tax is zero. The price of many RSUs was not low when they were granted, so the income tax bill would have still been higher than many could pay.

Edit: Also, RSUs are not eligible for 83(b) elections.
Perhaps a bit of both? There's been a bump in Elixir posts in the last year or two, which is awesome given that the hype cycle has died down now that the language has been stable for a few years.
Equifax can't put me in jail?
I've been enjoying SolidJS recently, and due to framework limitations, it is generally impossible to have multiple return statements, which I think helps a bit here. The signals stuff also lends itself really well to writing code that operates only on state, and then plugging it into a thinner, dumber DOM layer, so it's easier to compose pieces together. It's like hooks or the Vue composition API, but moreso? It's difficult to describe.

That said, SolidJS as a whole requires a completely different mental model of rendering, even if it does look superficially similar to React. It's also a much smaller ecosystem, with less documentation, so getting to grips with it is that much harder. Very rewarding, but probably not ideal for everyone right now.
They're universal to the US, not every place. But CA's specific problems make it even worse than the rest of the country, so SF is a bellwether.
I'm about to start work in this space. Some companies are getting close to full building automation, Augmenta seems to me to be closest / have the best approach. [0]

Tyre Nichols story shouldn't be forgotten.
Kagi is a bit of a HN darling so I know I'm putting my neck out here, but even after trying the trial, I'm not sure what the value prop is.

I would happily pay for a search engine that provided good results, but seeing as it's ostensibly Just Bing under the hood, I'm not sure what I get that I'm not getting from DDG or MetaGer + an ad blocker.

Kagi doesn't strike me as a privacy alternative given that all my searches are necessarily tied to a user id which is further tied to a payment method.

Finally, the metered usage feels far too much like an ancient cell phone plan. I really hate the idea of me paying for search only to have to switch to actual Bing when I hit some limit.

I like what Kagi is trying to do, but I don't see it as either sustainable or awfully useful unless such a service owns its index.

Feel free to let me know what I missed, I'm sure Kagi's paying customers are paying for a reason!
Who is this news for?

StableHLO seems like a good candidate for an abstraction layer for a Web ML API. Has the web machine learning working group looked at that yet? I haven't been following what they've been doing for a while.
If you want to read much, much, much more about this, read his book "A biographpy of the pixel".

Yes, sorry my bad, the project isn't a single file. I was just talking about the implementation.
It's a large set of benchmarks so I'd be really curious to hear how they can game it. Got any good readings?
