Go or any language that actually gets compiled down to machine code to get executed directly on the hardware, and where libraries are compiled into the final product.

When I say something is a library function, I mean you just compile it into your code. In your code, you just call the function.

This is in contrast to the current defactor practice of making an http request to ask another program (potentially on a different machine) to do the work.

In About Face: The Odyssey of an American Warrior (1989), David Hackworth mentions about being on patrol in the Korean war:

None of us used repellent (Chinks could smell it as easily as after-shave, soap, tobacco, and toothpaste); we couldn’t slap at them (noises traveled loud and far at night). So we waited and reluctantly contributed our blood.

and about poor discipline in Vietnam:

Guys were using soap, toothpaste, and shaving cream before operations. They were smoking and wearing mosquito repellent on patrol.

They really should add all the keys to the blogpost so that people can check quickly that the new key is correct.

What if you don't know for certain ?

You just ignore it and hope for the best ?

Only if you are certain (and better be really sure you haven't missed any cache/cdn, temp files backus etc.) it wasn't accessed you do nothing.
You can also use the environment file linked in that blog post to tell Rust to follow the XDG standard. Not perfect because it is not the default behaviour but it is doable.
HSMs can key-wrap a key.

E.g. Foo can encrypt the key X with Bars public key and then Bar can import key X.

You'd need extra space to store the fact that the mutex is fair rather than unfair. (I agree with you that the API tries to cram too much into one interface, but that's really on POSIX rather than glibc.)
UK has a statutory police union -- that is, the government set up its own union for them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_Federation_of_England_a...

Interesting quote from there:

"Police officers hold office and are not employees. Each officer is an independent legal official and not an "agent of the police force, police authority or government". This allows the police their unique status and notionally provides the citizens of the UK a protection from any government that might wish unlawfully to use the police as an instrument against them."
Well... To a certain extent they do. You're not gonna rob a store if there's a cop standing outside
A great tool is, believe it or not, Ocaml/Rescript!!

I was tired not remembering how to name intervals, construct chords, my arpeggios and scales and what not. So I coded it to help me figure all of that out. I also wanted a frontend to visualize all of this because notes on the guitar are all mixed up and it's hard to reason about when you have a terrible memory like I do:

- Theory.res: https://github.com/tbinetruy/solfeggio-calculator/blob/maste...
- Frontend: https://tbinetruy.github.io/solfeggio-calculator/

I also have some notes on that repo that have helped me a lot where I can summarize my findings. But this exercise has been enlightening. Both from the coding and musical perspectives. Because Ocaml really forces you to model music and thus ensure that you understand the concepts which helps you remember them.

I can finally start soloing over chord progressions using arpeggios now! It's essentially comes down to playing a scale in thirds starting on the chord root note on chord changes! And I can finally understand my fretboard without having to look at my frontend's chord diagrams anymore. I still don't know the notes, but I understand their relations with each other.

I've also started learning jazz because it's a lot more theory based than pop/rock since you have a lot more exotic chords and solos are guided by the underlying progression. I really like Jens Larsen's YT channel. It's very hard to get into at first because he goes quite fast, but has some very accessible videos such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q2LB45ts0M.

Hope this helps :)

I love type languages to the point Typscript is unacceptable. But Elixir/Phoenix has so many nice things to to point that an unsound static type is far inferior.
There is a difference between the subjective and objective "cool." They've sold something like 150 million pairs of Airpods? I think that qualifies as objectively "cool."
I agree on your first point, but disagree on your second point. Lots of artists use theory-- jazz musicians use the circle of fifths and their knowledge of chords to give them a framework, from which they can improvise. That means practicing lots of scales, modes, etc, but also practicing licks and such in different keys.

If you play saxophone, trumpet, etc.. in a band, you'll probably need theory, since you'll need to do some transposing.

Theory without playing music is lifeless, but theory definitely makes things easier to communicate or understand.
It could be, but also GH might be logging inbound requests long enough to see whether the file was requested.
AMD frameworks is massive news, but to be honest I'm probably most excited about the customisable keyboard. Whilst I don't need a numpad, the possibility of adding a built-in midi controller to my laptop sounds fantastic. Also looks like the cooling has been improved.

Was very close to pulling the trigger on a new Thinkpad, but now I might hold off. I just wish you could get frameworks in the same finish, though I suppose with the chassis being open source its feasible that someone else will start selling those

I think a great tool for learning music theory is a stringed instrument. By having an instrument _you_ tune you get your ear in tune as well, and you can hear the difference different temperments make.

But ultimately it's about making the music that's inside you, and not everyone needs music theory to do that.

A problem I've seen with pianists and theory is they can get stuck because each key has different fingering, unlike stringed instruments.

Am I now supposed to be upset about universities tackling the problem of excessive drinking by students? Because when it comes to alcohol, fucking up once can also destroy you. I still remember how a number of years ago, a student at the university of Groningen drank himself to death under peer pressure. The article refers to a student being hospitalised due to alcohol.

The university working to reduce the dangers of alcohol sounds like a very good thing to me.

Of course the rest of the article, about harsh punishments by the university that even drove one student to suicide, is also serious. It looks like Stanford needs to be a bit more concerned with their students' mental health and not just their alcohol intake. The relationship between the university and its students comes across as far too antagonistic, and that's not good.

This ought to be a verifiable claim, thanks to Street View. I looked around the airport[0] and in[1] various[2] streets[3]. The images are from last year, but they don’t show cash changers with either tether or BTC logos. I did end up finding one[4] after searching through seven, although it is dedicated to cryptocurrencies (it was next to a cash exchange, it isn't one), and its website states this[5]:

> Is exchanging cryptocurrency legal in Turkey? Yes, it is legal to buy, sell or trade your crypto money as long as crypto money is not used to pay goods or services.

They also mention they only pay out in USD. That makes it sound like the only possible use is for a Russian to convert Rubles to BTC in their home country, exchange BTC with USD there, then go next door to exchange their USD with Lira. That is so heavily tied to sanctions that it can explain why actual cash exchanges don’t support cryptocurrencies.

If anyone from GitHub is reading, the docs page for testing SSH keys needs an update on the RSA key fingerprint:

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-gith...

(it would actually be best to update it to the Ed25519 public key, as it's the recommended algorithm when generating a new SSH key).
I gave you an upvote. There are many legitimate reasons not to start with React in new projects. At this point I think we reach the consensus that React's benefit is only it being popular (hiring pool + libs pool). It's slow and bloat relatively compared to the rest.
Wouldn’t that require a domain name for each sshd box? And wouldn’t it be easier at that point to simply do (s?)sh over https/wss? I’m not an expert, just curious.

It’s funny that Molly (a VC) ascribes so much power to VCs that they can literally create bank runs on their own.

No.

VCs don’t make decisions on where a company keeps its cash; the founder/CEO does. And founders freaked the f-ck out. Let’s make sure to remember that founders had 100% agency in the decisions they made about their cash.

Here’s a selection of comments in the Whatsapp founders group Im in - all founders, no VCs:

Thursday 3/8 (36 hours before FDIC takeover):

“I'd consider moving to one of the too big to fail banks..”

“I agree the risk is higher then we thought before, I'm in SVB, with 4% - and looking to understand where to go now.”

“It's a numbers game - if a lot of people do what I do at the moment - it will fall.....”

“Does someone have a contact at Chase for B2B SaaS customers? I'm thinking it's wise to already have an account open there in case it will seem like we need to move off SVB.”

“Let's say we want to open a Chase account and move company funds?”

“for those that have their money in SVB and do not have another company bank account - what are the immediate options?”

“If there is a risk of a bank run, why not take the money out”

“Basically our whatsapp group creates bank runs now... power to the founders?”

“we just moved 85% of our money out”

“I just pulled ours”

It’s not surprising a VC would think she has more power than she actually has, but she also clearly has no idea about the wildfire that was spreading among founders themselves. Founders don’t give a sh-t about what their investors think (generally) - founders make the decisions they think are best because they have the most to lose (or win) from being wrong (or right). And they are much, much, much more likely to trust their fellow founders than their VCs.
It can make decisions. E.g. if you give it a task, it can formulate sub-tasks, then execute them, e.g. by selecting which API calls to make.

Obviously, if you call the model, you define the scope for it, and it can only make decisions within that scope.

The scope is potentially unbounded. E.g. you can give it access to a terminal of a Linux machine which has an internet connection and tell it to do whatever it likes. (Given RLHF perhaps it would be better to give some positive goal, e.g. perform actions which would eventually produce knowledge.)
I agree with you and I also started using ChatGPT a lot since the GPT4 release.

I think there are different problems that needs different solutions. Sometimes I'm hacking around in a language I don't know and I don't want to know, I just have to fix/implement something in that language because program/library X happens to use that language. I don't really care about learning, I just want the damn problem solved.

But then most of the times I spend in a language I expect myself to continue to use for a long time, then it makes sense to spend time coming up with a solution by myself through reading long manuals, other reference documentation or even purchasing books and working through them.

But, it doesn't make sense to do that for everything.
Police usually make things worse when called. Often shooting or restraining the caller instead of the attacker.
Actually there are lots of (mostly ex-) monastic breweries in Germany - just searching for "Klosterbrauerei" in Google Maps gives me 7 results in Bavaria alone, and there are others that are apparently under Google's radar, like this one also pretty near to Munich https://klosterbrauerei-reutberg.de . Not to mention the beer brands that are named after monks, but no longer affiliated with them (Augustiner, Paulaner, Franziskaner, ...)
Yes and also https://build-your-own.org/

I had a boss years ago who would encourage me, whenever I was interested in e.g. a new library or framework, to go and reinvent the wheel in my spare time i.e. build it myself from scratch first to understand what the problems it solves actually are.

I've never built my own anything quite as low level as the build-your-own.org projects, but doing things like implementing a PHP web server with a class loader without any frameworks, or a JS templating system which stores the state of the UI in a big ol' object and updates the DOM automatically, has given me the deeper understanding of these things that I've later needed to debug weird issues and find creative fixes.

I could believe it, I just think it's hard to sell that to some people, as it's not very specific. The pitch just isn't that compelling, as things like "fast", "just works", etc. aren't very useful. I'm not against things like Next, and I do think they're useful, but this branch of discussion was about the pitch. The homepage lists "Client and Server Rendering", "Nested Layouts", "Data Fetching", "API Routes", "Middleware", and "CSS Support" (and a few others) in a list of features that "make the web. Faster." Other than middleware, I would sure hope all of those things would be supported by a web tool since they've all been features of web browsers and servers for decades.

The point is that it's not clear what exactly Next does, let alone why it does those things. In my mind, Next (and friends) just helps smooth the edges of all aspects of modern web development. That's just not a very specific statement. Also, a lot of those edges aren't so sharp for a lot of use cases since modern browsers and servers offer the same functionality. I still think Next and friends are useful because the edges may not be as sharp, but there are quite a lot of them.
Yeah, this is a problem. Anyone is free to share texts to the public library and there's no quality control, just an upvoting feature to try to surface the best content at the top. I accept that the public libraries are a mess at the moment and it's not easy to identify the high quality content there. Lots of room for improvement!
This is false in multiple ways (one of which would be legal for this - I believe - Spanish organisation), but I suspect you know this and are simply just trolling now.
If you're logged in and have a SSH key added to your account, I believe Github UI will show you SSH clone command by default. Therefore I always clone with SSH, even public repos.

Concentrated beer already exists and is used by Guinness to get a 49:1 saving on shipping volume [0], so the extra reduction by pondering it might not be as valuable as the hype.

Though the wikipedia article says the concentrated extract gets mixed with local pale beer, rather than water. I wonder if it could be tweaked to work with water or dilute alcohol.

I had not heard this before. Do you have citations for this?

Too bad it doesn't have Wi-Fi.

Back when Apple Silicon appeared and DDC wasn't working anymore with the old methods [0] I tried creating a DDC-over-WiFi board using ESP32 + spliced HDMI cable with the I²C wires connected for Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/).

I was using the ddcvcp library [1] and it was working well for monitors that allowed DDC on ports without a video signal (not all do), but the cable splicing part wasn't too appetizing for users. In the end I settled on a Raspberry Pi solution [2] until I sorted out how DDC could be used from Apple Silicon directly.

But this idea is still on my mind, and this board almost meets all my requirements to finally make it easy to use. Hoping for WiFi + HDMI soon.

Statistics has two meanings:

1. A way to interpret math. E.g. given a computation you might interpret some values as probabilities.
2. A particular set of methods which people use to analyze information as well results of such analysis.

The problem with "just statistics" is that 99% of people would understand it as #2. But deep learning is very much not like "normal" statistics.

Was it the Sparkfun BME280/CCS811 combo by chance? It seemed to drift up when temperature has positive errors and downward if negative, and the heater in CCS811 was affecting temperature reading on BME280. Adding a second temperature sensor delayed drift somewhat in my case, though the effect was marginal.

That depends very much on the lecturer. If he or she just follows one book for the whole semester and doesn't add any additional insight, explanation of tradeoffs, or enlightening anecdotes, then by any means skip the lecture. But if you have a lecturer giving you all from above and the possibility to ask questions, lectures can be invaluable. Luckily I experienced many of the latter kind, although some of the first.
