It's my understanding the state of the art in observing JVM-based applications is a combination of using thread dumps, gc logs, thread activity visualizations. Thread dumps give us a snapshot of the the name of the thread, its current running state (waiting, blocked, etc), and the stacktrace of the work its currently doing. GC logs give you a record of when and how much garbage was collected and Thread activity visualizations show you the timeline of thread moving between different running states.

The BEAM gives you the ability to see the bottlenecks in your system, via the REPL (in real time!)

It has world-class introspection built in that gives you the power to observe and manipulate your running application through a REPL.

The BEAM has hundreds of features like this, because the BEAM is more of an OS than and VM.

I get it, you're a JVM expert, but the BEAM is more than a check list of optimizations that on paper the JVM can do.

I strongly suggest, before the next time you comment on an BEAM VM vs.JVM debate, please consider watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBdoUE, "The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Sasa Juric • GOTO 2019"

and reading https://github.com/happi/theBeamBook " an attempt to document the internals of the Erlang runtime system and the Erlang virtual machine known as the BEAM."

Best of luck!

I'm basing these answers off what I've seen GPT-4 do. It's not better than human experts at anything. It is better than mid-level humans, and given access to corporate databases in can replace them by doing nothing more than supplementing experts, like dictation software vs secretaries. For example: I've seen a plugin that gives GPT access to Github repos, with which it can learn corporate styles and architectures and write new code to match. You do have to double check it, but since it can explain its own work and edit accordingly this is a fast process. This can be applied to technical documentation and knowledge bases too, and that alone is enough to displace quite a few jobs.

Self-driving cars are a good analogy, because if they only worked, they would be revolutionary (blockchains have no uses I've ever seen). And GPT-4, from what I've seen, works.

I still worry about memory usage every day, and I’m writing Typescript for a single page React app.

Sure, there’s more memory these days and many languages make memory correctness errors a thing of the past, but play your cards wrong and you’ll exhaust your users’ resources just the same. In many ways it’s harder today because you can’t easily look at an abstraction and understand its memory or cache cost in languages like Java, Python, or JavaScript. you just pray it’ll get optimized or won’t cost too much and big-O analysis is enough. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard programmers working with GC languages worry about GC pressure or GC pauses.

You can always work in Zig, C++, Rust, etc to make reasoning about memory use easier. There’s more positions today working in those contexts than in the past, even though they’re a smaller overall percent of the market.
I have changed a program to use a smaller struct in a recursive function call and improved the speed significantly.

I did measure so I can't say why for sure, but it was satisfying to see the exact same algorithm go faster.

I assume it was because it had better cache performance.
Would the amount of brain power to do activity X decrease as you get experienced at it though? Not to zero of course (the long drive is tiring even for an experienced driver).
25% utilization is significantly better than I would have expected. In the middle of Summer, there might already be 6 hours of underutilized solar (averaged with 0% excess in Winter). Given another 10 years of engineering and cost improvements, that does indeed sound a plausible use case.
Microsoft made it much harder in Windows 11 (Home) and then later for even the Pro version. You have to unplug the network and/or drop to shell to run a bypass command.
>No offence meant to the Americans here, but I detest the exportation of American culture to Europe. I don't mean music and films, but rather the way of thinking about the world.

I think music and film are actually the primary way that this American culture is exported. Think about the whole culture surrounding movies - much of it is controlled and inspired by Hollywood.

I agree that it would be nice if the rest of the world wouldn't become so Americanized, but I think that's only viable if the population doesn't learn English en masse.

Is this the same "Miss Sakamoto" who as the wife of Ryuchi, peripherally involved in the production of Thomas Dolby's She Blinded Me With Science, inspired the quote from the scientist in that song?
From article:

"
Currently, ammonia is synthesized through the Haber–Bosch process by converting hydrogen and nitrogen into ammonia. In this process, hydrogen is mainly produced via steam methane reforming. This fact makes the process of fossil-fuel-based ammonia synthesis very carbon dioxide intensive, accounting for ≈1% of the global carbon dioxide emissions.[11, 16] Yet more sustainable ammonia synthesis pathways are under development to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions in the ammonia industry.[11, 16] For instance, the electrically driven hybrid Haber–Bosch process (via replacing the steam methane reforming by water electrolysis to obtain green hydrogen and coupling with an ammonia synthesis reactor in the Haber–Bosch process) or direct electrosynthesis using renewable energy (via nitrogen reduction reaction) enables the production of green ammonia.[11, 16]

Starting with aviation while they're at low volume makes sense. But most EVs weigh more than the equivalent gasoline cars, and have shorter range than many people are comfortable with, so I think there's plenty of opportunity for silicon-anode batteries in cars.

Personally I'd like to drive an EV 400 miles to visit my brother without stopping to charge, which realistically requires at least a 500-mile range, preferably 600 (so 80% to 20% is about 400). Charging time of less than ten minutes would make that less important to me, and conveniently, these batteries provide that too.
It depends. If you haven't coded for a while, been homeless (= probably sleep deprived) and then do (making this up) a couple of 10 hour sprints on coding, especially with no rest it will hurt most people.

Great point. The article doesn't mention of McDonalds is profitable. I'd wager it is even without the layoffs. On one hand, doing layoffs may make investors happy, on the other hand if we get a recession because a bunch of profitable companies keep laying everyone off, then maybe that's not so great for investors after all.

Well, it's a nice trick but it's O(N^2) in terms of output size because you have N items and paths up to N-1 long, so you have up to N ~N-length paths. If your data is guaranteed to have loops then this could be annoying.

The PG thing works trivially because you can use an array for the path and inspect the array in each iteration. That's harder to do in SQLite3, but... you could: just format a string like '%->' || src || '->%' then use it with `like()` to check if the path you're adding `src` to already has it.
I do think that used enterprise things will be likely to work well.

I do not live in a place that can fit an “enterprise” printer though, and I think for many people living in apartments it’s a bit of an ask. But it’s also pretty dependent on both the value of the surface area required to you and your printing needs.

No one is fighting against high wages. And people with more wealth have vastly more income. People with low wealth have vastly less income. Income is not just what you earn working, it includes what your wealth generates.

It's a fact that the majority of tech workers are the rich. They are simply not satisfied with what they have and want even more, exactly what they accuse the 1% of. But to the 95% you and the 1% are both the enemy.
https://ballotpedia.org/Crude_oil_export_ban

> The crude oil export ban prohibited most crude oil exports from the United States to other countries. It was implemented in 1975 and lifted in December 2015.

https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2015/12/18/a... ( https://archive.is/BWfNt )

> On December 18th Congress voted to put an end to the problem by lifting the 40-year-old export ban as part of an omnibus budget bill. Republicans championed the proposal, which is backed by the oil industry. Reluctant Democrats supported it because in exchange they were able to negotiate an additional five years of tax credits for wind and solar power, which they are keen on. The deal showed a spirit of compromise often absent on Capitol Hill.

> The move has three potentially positive outcomes. It will increase the market for the light, sweet crude pumped out of America’s shale deposits, which may eventually give the fracking industry a fillip. It will give refineries outside America access to a greater variety of oil, enabling them to operate more efficiently. And it will make West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the reference price in the United States, a global benchmark for light, high-grade crudes to rival Brent, an international benchmark that is based on a mix of heavier crudes. That would make oil trading more efficient.
Yeah count me as someone who thought Elden Ring’s quests sucked hard. It’s only up to you to miss 80% of the game in the sense that you absolutely will miss 80% of the game unless you look it up on a wiki. And then when you do them it has basically no impact on anything.

But also one might consider, or seek the word, that certain way of spitting, tells some peeps we fam.

Language isn't just about communicating meaning but also cultural content, identity and social markers. This is part of what drives its frequent development and also part of why some people want to preserve their way of speaking even if its merely a creole or a "dying" language.

Didn't see your reply - but terraform can do a bit in the space of multi-cloud provisioning. I say a bit, because most of the work will be on the user, as your terraform plans are gonna be -MESSY- to support multi-cloud. It really isn't seamless or easy in my experience. AWS and Azure operate with enough differences that you'll have more exceptions to your workflow than actual steps. I find multi-cloud to be burdensome and an awful experience in general sadly, even with the "best" tools.

It just says something like "you can't go back after this point", not "this is the final mission and the end of the game". Maybe that's got an obvious meaning to a more seasoned gamer.
Not that it matters, since I could just load the save game just prior and do the side missions, but it still kind of ruined the impact of the end of the game.

> You’ll own everything, and it’ll be yours forever. No investors, no market changes, and not a single external factor will sweep away all your work there.

The internet is ephemeral. Blogging platform user accounts, domain names, VPSes, IP addresses, home servers, and software like Wordpress, Apache/Nginx, or Linux distributions don't last forever and require frequent maintenance and updates. If you passed away tomorrow, it's unlikely your content would be accessible online for more than a few years from now.

If you want your work to survive as long as possible, print your texts on acid-free materials and store them in a plastic bag within a Thermos-like container to protect against temperature, humidity, and light changes, as well as water and chemicals. Distribute copies globally for redundancy against disasters and fires, and there's a reasonable chance your work will be around for at least a thousand years.

However, we blog and put our work online not for ownership or preservation, but to get it out there. The internet is a communication tool, and it has short-attention-span readers anyways. The goal is to disseminate your work rather than own or preserve it. So does it matter if it's on a platform that will die in a decade?

If you want your work to be preserved for many hundreds of years and in a way that's accessible to everyone, you need to build a monument. Otherwise, you can pick one of the two: dissemination or preservation. Though of course, improving the longevity of your content on the internet can be done and it's not entirely black and white. But if we are looking at the big picture and using words like "forever", I don't think internet is a medium for preserving anything on that scale, nor will it exist in the form it does today a hundred years from now.

This is just complete nonsense.

Europe has tons of intellectuals. It doesn't need the US to defend it. There is tons of culture that is incredibly different in Europe compared to the US, just look at Urbanism and Public Transit for example. And the political issues are imported because they are issues here to and young people in the West generally point in the same direction, but even then many of the issues are quite individual as well.

Emigration to the US is not that common, and immigration to places like Germany is very common. Its mostly Eastern Europe that are emigrating both to Western Europe and the US.

Yes, I think hat is incorrect. There's a good chance the artificial neural network is firing functions in an analogous way that our language part of the brain is firing neurons. I think this is intuitive if you believe math is discovered, because that means logic is universal. Our brains must have evolved using logic algorithms to structure the world and allow for a new paradigm of learning that involves externalizing information (i.e. spoken word, written word, etc). Maybe GPT's training is reverse engineering this from the entire Internet, and the resulting function is mapping unto this same logic space, allowing humans to interface with machines.
