It's a great concept, but it's really difficult for me to get into because I like to learn quickly and then make things. With Exercism, I found I was spending too much time trying to solve the problems. This would then exhaust my undiagnosed ADHD brain.
A 1929 depression wouldn't even surprise me, to me it's a question of when. Plus people are so much more unruly now that I think people would be rioting on a scale that was previously unprecedented.

A nuke going off I don't even see as an impossibility.

Same here on games though. I thought my adult years would just be me playing all the great games. But as an adult they are much less interesting. That's what makes being young such a vulnerable time. You don't know that you are going to dramatically change once you become and adult. But generally you will.

You can't understand reality without understanding the filters through which we experience it. It's impossible to ever directly experience objective reality. Spirituality is a tool to understand the inherently subjective nature of our existence.

For one, the scope is much more massive. One surrounds a single beverage category, the other basically every online communication platform. If the world wasn't more and more online, I could maybe consider the scope acceptable.

Another is how much it messes up the user flow. Buying alcohol? Hand over a plastic card to a cashier for a few seconds. Accessing a new website you want to try out? Scan your driver's license, upload to this random site, have it likely go through some black box algorithm that you hopefully don't get falsely flagged with no human response, and you're good. And that's the good flow. I don't want to imagine the headache of manual checking for every site.
ClickHouse has support for unsigned integer types: UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, UInt128, and UInt256.

The main applications are: hashes and identifiers, e.g., visitor identifier in clickstream.
You say that only a relatively small percentage of the population ever used BBSes, and that's true, but what is also true is that only a relatively small percentage of the population ever used a social microblogging service, whether it was Twitter or not.

You're really leaning in to 'choose an instance', which has only really been a problem for tech experts. Everyone I know on Mastodon just clicked one of the listed instances on joinmastodon.org and never thought about it again.

And no, most people didn't have to go anywhere to sign up for Facebook. For an extremely long time, there was a LinkedIn-like email invitation system, and when you made your account it suggested "people you may know" and generally guessed right. Literally all you needed to do to get a Facebook account was make up a password. I'm not familiar with whatever the current growth hacks are.

Anyway, it's easy to make comparisons by ignoring many key details. You did it too, you just described those key details as "obscure exceptions" or saying they don't "really count." I'm not sure what anyone is supposed to get from your text except that you're really stumped about decentralization.

To this day people have to "choose an instance" to sign up for email, because people use email before they get jobs and they can't hang onto primary-school accounts after they leave school. Sure, most people sign up for GMail or Apple mail, because their phones tell them to. That's still choosing an instance, and Microsoft, Yahoo, Fastmail, and other providers continue to exist and turn profits, even though their users had to battle the indominitable hellscape of having to choose an instance.
It's all part of Java's effort to make everything as complicated as possible and put everything in as many namespaces as possible.
They might fear unwanted memorsation/regurgitation of training content.
And now all your simple scalar values need to exist on the heap as class object instances - and will incur plenty of runtime allocation costs for every arithmetic operation - or try to risk it with non-immutable heap-allocated objects, but that’s a recipe for disaster: no-one should ever think mutable shared state is a good first-design.

A lot of Java/JVM’s design decisions made sense in the mid-1990s, such as not supporting user-defined stack-allocated value-types and only supporting GC-managed objects - as main-memory was fast-enough compared to CPU registers - and many/most Java targets didn’t have any kind of CPU data cache - the idea of using the heap for basically everything wasn’t a bad design… back then. But now it is: high-perf code for the CLR means eliminating unnecessary GC allocation wherever possible - but in the JVM that isn’t possible.
Well, few things in life actually take linear transitions. Ideas and experience gained from one thing often influence solutions in unrelated domains.

I launched a Chrome extension in 24 hours (As a Chrome extension newbie)
Following is my journey of creating a Chrome extension in 24 hours.

1. I wanted to create something with ChatGPT API, so the first thing I did is to get the API Key.

2. Search on youtube on how to make a Chrome extension (Because before this I had no idea how to build extensions).

3. At some point, Something was not working as expected. I was so frustrated then I took 2 hours break and started to solve that problem fresh.

4. I took help from ChatGPT whenever I needed it. It helped me a lot.

5. I did not spend much time creating a logo. I just went to one icon generator website and selected the icon and download it.

6. I used Chakra UI for the first time and I loved it. It helped me to create good looking UI with minimal code.

7. I learned a lot about how to debug the Chrome extension. earlier I was struggling to make sense of what is going wrong in the code.

8. I am using Lemon Squeezy to distribute my Chrome extension. this way I don't need to worry about payments.

9. Now I will do my best to market my Chrome extension on Twitter.
Many of these examples focus on the wrong kind of efficiency.

There's efficiency from the production perspective -- how large a fraction of time are my resources busy adding value?

Then there's efficiency from a consumption perspective -- how large a fraction of time am I receiving value?

The first kind of efficiency is inflexible, brittle, and associated with generated demand, clearly. What about the second kind? In my experience, properly optimising for consumption-side efficiency leads to more resilience, but I'm willing to be wrong here.

100% is an odd choice for a utilization target.

Just about every service I've ever monitored has had some fairly clear inflection points where higher utilization starts to affect performance. It could be things like more time spent on garbage collection, or just unlucky collisions with async work that make things take longer.

Does your dishwasher actively add heat outside of drying? Mine just uses hot water from the water heater. I don't think it even has heating elements tbh. For drying it has crystal dry which is zeolite.
There are a few innate reflexes but you lose them quickly and they are pretty basic. Our brains have way way more neurons/parameters than these models and are still not overfitting... the issue lies in the learning method.
We ran into a pretty serious vulnerability around editable installs last year as well. Nearly the same story as here - basically an editable install hit an edge case and went to pypi instead when you wouldn’t expect it to. Python has not thought this problem through nearly as much as the Java people have.

There are three ways to train:

- best score - don't care about efficiencies (GPT3, GPT4)

- best score for a fixed quantity of compute at training time - good for PhD's and people who make proofs-of-concept (Chinchilla)

- best score for a fixed quantity of compute at inference time - good for people who inference their models at scale (LLaMA, chatGPT turbo)

The article didn't mention the LLaMA scaling laws, where we use more than 20 tokens per weight, more precisely 142 tokens per weight for LLaMA 7B.

> The objective of the scaling laws from Chinchilla is to determine how to best scale the dataset and model sizes for a particular training compute budget. However, this objective disregards the inference budget, which becomes critical when serving a language model at scale. In this context, given a target level of performance, the preferred model is not the fastest to train but the fastest at inference, and although it may be cheaper to train a large model to reach a certain level of performance, a smaller one trained longer will ultimately be cheaper at inference. For instance, although Chinchilla recommends training a 10B model on 200B tokens, we find that the performance of a 7B model continues to improve even after 1T tokens.

What we care about is the best model we could run on our own hardware, not how efficient was its training, that doesn't cost us users anything.

Many people (myself included!) were first amazed by how easy and how much software was @ “just there” for Linux - and apt-get or rpm or emerge and you have what you want.

It’s much later that you realize that someone is doing the work to keep those working, and decisions are being made all the time about which version, which project, etc.

The one I first really noticed was MySQL being silently replaced with MariaDB.
We truly live in a golden age of terminal emulators.

I still remember how essentially nothing happened in the terminal world from the late 90s until a few years ago (other than iTerm2 on macOS), and suddenly we have Kitty, Alacritty, Foot, and Wezterm, each developed independently of the others, and each of them better than anything that came before. It's amazing to watch these projects evolve.
Just…why?
It sort of does need an alternative, but also, on the AI front, I don't think Cuda is really that important anymore.

It's finally teetering & I think will really be tilting hard soon, but more generic systems are happening. OpenXLA has just taken over a huge part of the AI regime, and it's IREE representation has all kinds of different targets.

Cuda was more important when there weren't well established solid frameworks. For sure, there's plenty of places in computing where we do need general purpose low level GPGPU capabilities. And AMD and HIP leave a bit to be desired (the whole having to recompile the work again for each piece of hardware is a bitter pill especially). But in many places I think the hardware WI have very different means to be very very well targeted, rather than devs hand writing c++.
I see. Thanks for the comment. I'm resentful towards friends and family who are anti-vaxxers and downplay the danger, esp since I have elderly parents at risk. I'm mid 60's, they're mid 80's.

> just racist or stupid

I don't see that. China opened up. 230 million Chinese got infected. It mutated. A more transmissible mutation has been reported. I live in Silicon Valley with close ties to China. I live in an Asian neighborhood. I've lived here for three years. I've interacted plenty with my neighbors and shopped Asian stores. My experience has been pleasant. I have been careful and not changed my behavior.

There's a chance the more transmissible mutation made it's way from China to the San Jose airport and to the Trader Joe's across the highway where I picked it up. Since I went three years and did nothing different, it's just a theory I have. Maybe my symptoms are different. Time will tell. Nothing about what I just said is racist. I am not a racist.

It's difficult to say I am suggesting anything considering I already explicitly wrote it: the thing people should focus on is the actual outcome. And here we have a country that uses less fossil fuels for electricity production (do not see what cars have to do with anything), and is on a faster trajectory of reduction. Claiming that it could've been even faster implies either of the two things:

1) possession of a crystal ball to view an alternative reality
2) certainty that there is no dependence between spending money on nuclear and other things

I don't think that 2) is true. The disposal of existing nuclear waste will cost the tax payers over €100B [1] and sometimes it's better to make a hard cut so people can focus on the future and not the past. Either way, it's been successful.

>Why doesn't the developer just include the debt when selling the houses?

Likely because many prospective homeowners do not actually know about the debt payments on the metro district when they buy the homes and so do not appropriately discount the asking price.

Instead, the prospective homeowners effectively pay the developer extra for the perceived amenities that the new homeowners themselves will fund. The developer pays nearly nothing for the improvements and gets paid for all of the demand for nice amenities. Like many government activities, a private actor gets to use the government mandates as a vehicle to spread costs widely and captures a large chunk of the benefits for itself.
I might. But, you know what? Most of those people are dead already, as are most of the potential witnesses in any such trial. Many of the surviving witnesses have dementia and are not credible witnesses. The Netflix documentary The Devil Next Door is a really good look into how difficult it is to conduct even one of these prosecutions, mostly for these reasons. And that trial took place 12 years ago. It would be exponentially harder today.

These trials are a fools errand anymore. The youngest any possible defendant could be is about 95, and the youngest any potential witness could be is probably somewhere in their mid 80s. It is literally not worth the time and effort anymore to put one of these show trials together -- and that's what they are, is show trials. The sentence a 95 year old man receives does not matter. It's not even a meaningful punishment, and he most likely will not serve a day of it. Meanwhile, we have real problems affecting people today, and the next generation, such as climate change, that are much more urgent.

You are not going to talk me out of this position, even using ad hominem like "arrogant."
In terms of attacking the passengers of the craft, you can equate the two. In terms of attacking a building with the craft, there are significant differences. A plane can take down a huge building. A bus usually can't. A train definitely can't.
There’s no security officers sitting on their phones playing some game and chatting to each other, a common occurrence in SEA airports.
To be fair, I was talking really about enterprise, where the bulk of HDD sales still are -- especially in any meaningful capacity. Moreover, enterprise is where tape lives.

HDDs are quickly Falling off in the consumer space because SSDs are getting cheap enough, power consumption matters (for laptops), form factor matters (again, for laptops), and mobile entirely changed peoples' expectations of system responsiveness.

Even 20 years ago, the number of people (consumers, not businesses) I knew with tape drives was almost none. Today I know of zero.
I, for one, would see it as a massive failure of government if the money necessary to put on one of these dog and pony shows was spent on prosecuting someone who's almost certain to die in the next 2 years, anyway, rather than real problems affecting people today and the next generation, such as climate change.

You will not talk me out of this.
Cooking salmon is mostly about texture. It's usually done around 120, but it takes 145 according to the USDA to actually kill off parasites. Deep freezing kills them instead.

According to a brand of dishwasher detergent, machines run within the food safe danger zone.

So, while it'll improve the texture, cooking salmon actually makes it less safe to eat.
The debt is intended to pay for water, sewer, roads, security, transportation and recreational amenities, all of which would be the responsibility of the city when it's fully built out. What the developers are doing make sense if the debt is financed for the term of the life of the infrastructure. The city will borrow again to build replacement after the original is paid off.
> Why is trading via Zoom impossible, voice maybe, and text mandatory?

Because trading conversations have to be recorded (legally). It's easy for corporate policy to say "we don't record Zooms, (therefore) you cannot trade over Zoom". It's also easy to say "we record all text communications, (therefore) you can trade over text". Meanwhile, the phone rules predated any other modern form of communication so they have the complexity of "sometimes record and trade, sometimes don't" grandfathered in.

When 'fix' means ensure conversations that are already under current legal hold are destroyed, it's clear what legal guidance and training are.

I hope the court nails their execs to the wall for pulling shit like this as a matter of corporate policy.
If you can't store the data you can't do the task. It doesn't matter how fast your storage is if you can't fit the required files. That's bad performance. Additionally then they have to load over USB3 external HDD or network storage (which is probably over wifi!) and that's awkward and slow in both the physical and digital sense.

My experience is based mostly off doing IT support for mostly non-technical family and friends. By backups I meant OS features that do system file restorations from checkpoints like common in Windows and Apple. It is also common to have these on the same computer. Even if they're stored externally the computer running time machine must have that much local space free. So many of my tech support visits are helping people who run out out the tiny disk space on their affordable model Apple laptops and are no longer able to make time machine back-ups to their external HDD storage till they free the required space.

People commonly run out of 250 GB storage without even doing data intensive hobbies. I don't think my experience is unique.
It's too often the software from Ubuntu or Debian repositories is outdated.

For example, Python, Docker, Rust, ClickHouse, Go, and Node.js - all have some versions in Debian, but the common knowledge is to ignore them and always install the official version instead.

Yes, we use now magnitudes more oil than we used to 120 years ago. But back then oil was used for cooking and lamps, while now it is used for so many more things. Same goes for data. It is the new oil :).

At that time, all corporate email was already being hosted on an internal version of Gmail, so yes, both were technically possible, and external Gmail accounts were in fact backed up. To do so would have rendered any instructions not to delete any emails moot and unnecessary. Evidently they decided not to do so, and instead, tell everyone to NOT delete any sensitive emails. One can only speculate why that might have been.
