Thanks for sharing this. I was worried when I saw the rejection test at the end (around line 1749) that this could be slow, but I guess that for cases like a=0 and b=1, your code avoids that rejection ever happening, is that right? So the rejection only kicks in when the bounds are in the middle of range of one fixed exponent?
Quite a few of the south asian coworkers I've talked to about caste discrimination say it doesn't exist in the US, but then also go on to say they come from a "good caste", seems too frequent to be a coincidence. Is this related to the discrimination the article talks about? Some kind of dog whistle that "discrimination doesn't exist as long as you're part of the in group"?
It’s good for reference but not for discovery. If I already know the general concept (let’s say Template Literal Types) I can get good info on it, but if I start with a question like ‘Is there a way to make sure this string literal starts with “id_”?’ then I find it very hard to know.

Random but this is what I’m finding GPT-4 best at: translating random questions into domain terminology + providing examples.

People take the idea of privacy really seriously today, as well. But just like then, not enough people take it seriously.

Obviously, despite the number of people who did take it seriously 25 years ago, the companies didn't really care, they still did what they did and structured the industry to become rent-seekers.

The problem with regulation is that the biggest companies pay people a lot of money to figure out how to best game the system, with the goal being infinite growth. Even if you try to regulate this type of behavior, there will be a large number of lawyers and businesspeople trying to figure out how to stretch the letter of the law as far as they can, and the biggest ones may even decide that they'd rather pay any related fines, than give up their user data revenue stream.

To create effective legislation, you should also at least make a sensible attempt at figuring out if there might be any unintended consequences.

I don't have an answer, other than to say that perhaps there should be a lobbying group for privacy with the same dedication to trying to figure out how to game the system, but to further privacy rather than to erode it. Fight fire with fire. I genuinely wish anyone who tries this good luck in raising the capital it would need to be competitive.
> We're currently allowing dangerous food into the country.

I would personally eat food that passes UK regulations (but not EU regulations), or EU regulations (but not UK regulations).

Are there reports of increased food poisoning attributed to Brexit? (I'm thinking along the lines of either an individual incident report saying "if only this meat had been inspected, it would have been pulled, and these people wouldn't have gotten sick," or a statistical study based on e.g. ER visits per capita for food poisoning symptoms.)

If there's no evidence of people actually getting sick, calling such food "dangerous" seems like fearmongering.
It loaded in about 3s for me, on Android.
I get what you're saying - and actually I do agree to an extent.

But I don't think the 'problem' is these takes themselves. The problem is that generally our tolerance for negative outcomes has dwindled.

Instead of being upfront and saying "we expect these launches to kill 500-1000 extra birds over the next 3 years, and we think that's an acceptable price", we play silly games with fudging models and numbers and language to say "we expect the impact on wildlife to be negligible".

We've lost the ability to properly lead and discuss and decide on trade-offs, and instead fall back on an illusion that we can almost make decisions that are 99% upside, 1% downside. We then torture our processes to sustain this illusion.
They have a chicken version of this at Chipotle now. I have yet to try it. Interesting to know the background, I never really looked into it.
to be fair a lot of them are absolutely terrible. The top .NET one seems to be maintained by very unprofessional amateurs, has ~> 1000 open issues, some open for years, and definitely doesn't do multipart encoding correctly. Not that problem would be solved by having yet another spec.
The lack of a flame trench to redirect exhaust for the largest rocket in human history seems like it could result in heat damage to the nearby launch facilities. Particularly the methane tanks the article mentions. I wonder what SpaceX’s calculations on that are.
> The Tom's review of the revised Crucial P2 500GB was a 2-chip and the QN322 2TB also appears to be 2-chip vs 1-chip for smaller capacities of the QN322, so the performance boost from higher capacity won't be there.

You need to make the distinction between how many packages of NAND flash are soldered to the PCB, and how many dies of NAND are stacked in one BGA package. A 2TB SSD requires more than two NAND dies because the largest NAND dies in production are in the ballpark of 1-1.33Tbit, so a 2TByte drive would typically have 16 NAND dies in total.

> And the SLC cache size isn't fixed but rather a fraction of the free space.

That doesn't stop a 2TB drive from generally having 4x more SLC cache than a 500GB drive, other things being equal.
Seems to be not so simple.

> AVIF has different limitations when it comes to the highest megapixel count / largest dimensions. Several decoders may not support larger images, so single-coded photos do not exceed 4k resolution. According to AV1, AVIF Baseline profile coded image items must not have more pixels than 8912896 or wider widths or higher heights than 8192 or 4352. The Baseline profile can still be used to create larger images using grid derivation. You might encounter discontinuities along the grid boundaries, depending on how the image is decomposed. For this particular case, however, the maximum size of a coded picture is 65536x65536.

https://avif.io/blog/faq/avif-megapixel/

So as I understand this, anything with more than ~9 MP would be encoded in some kind of tiled way, possibly introducing artifacts where tiles meet.

However, another blog post claims different limits

> The default limit of AVIF is 8K. Video professionals will recognize this as the size of an 8K video frame. It is possible to break this limit for both formats by independently encoded tiles of 8K frames. But this method introduces artifacts at the tile boundaries, affecting the overall appearance of images.

Here is a possible silver lining, if you do go back and make half the wage, give yourself a time limit of putting in a quarter as much time as your previous full time role.

This gives your earning power per time a raise, and lets you take on multiple contract roles if you desire.

Don’t forget to live life with more time.
I share the pain of things not supporting discriminated unions. I had to do some very hacky things to make it work for the API I’m developing at the moment. When it does work though it is very very nice
What I got out of it:

1. What if we used foundation models to write code?

2. But the code might not work...
I always thought it was weird when people have websites like this, anyways, for those phased away and want to read this article while centered, execute in the console:

The 100% CPU utilization is an odd one because, although theoretically it's more "efficient" to use a system at full capacity, performance tends to suffer and practically make it unusable (others' pointed here to queueing theory).

We are building a high load, low latency inference system, and we noticed that latency is correlated to CPU usage. Latency grows slowly linearly with CPU usage, up to a point where it starts to grow exponentially. We had a bug where a host was pegged at 100% CPU, and our tail latency suffered greatly, since any request that hit that host was basically toast.

Funnily enough OP could have used examples outside computing where efficiency directly trades off with resiliency. For example, in farming large monocultures are the most efficient, but a single disease can wipe entire plantations. In manufacturing, keeping stock is seen as an inefficiency, but problems in the supply chain can get you in hot water (as COVID made painfully obvious).

Back when mobile exploded I got a bee in my bonnet that I had to have an app for my website. I spent a couple thousand dollars to have a highly recommended mobile website designer do this for me. The result was HORRIBLE and I decided to just live with what I had. Turns out my native website on mobile looks GREAT, far better than on a computer screen. Go figure.
Is the graph/SQL thing used only to manage dependencies?
They definitely don’t. Globally they don’t even touch 70%, and if you look at specific markets like the US they only just hit 50%.
>An old boss taught me that I should never oppose an action without having an alternative viable course to propose. I think those of us who care for the environment (I care, a lot) would advance the cause by following this advice.

I'm a civil/environmental engineer. Ironically I'm pro-progress here but the fact that they got away with construction and launch here without an EIS is absolutely laughably corrupt as far as I'm concerned. I've had to do the full EIS for projects that were far, far, far less impactful in scope, by many orders of magnitude. The FAA is simply not acting in the public interest here. This is regulatory capture in action.

The alternative here is simple and IMO sensible. This should have gone deeper into the NEPA flowchart and had a full EIS, and then as a condition of approval they should have required permitting and construction of all mitigation measures prior to launches. (Water deluge / flame trenches, etc.)

It all depends on your frame of reference. For someine deeply concerned with endangered habitats, a few hundred or thousand dead animals is an unbearable catastrophe. For someone focused on progress at all costs, it's not even a slight concern.

It's just how the world works, that the people whose concerns are most impacted seek to advocate for their positions.
No, that's exactly the wrong take in a different way. A photograph may has intrinsic qualities aside from technical ones, and time will change how you or others feel about the picture.

And for the technical issues on top of that, technology has certainly allowed me to extract more from older photos. I suspect film scanning tech has topped out, but the processing on computer has improved slightly, and I'm able to eke pretty much all the useful information there is out of a negative or transparency. RAW processors too have improved a lot in ten years, I revisited a photo story from 2009 and pulled out a few previously unseen pictures and 2022 Capture One smoked the Lightroom 5 processor. The camera has been superseded by 2 or 3 generations (a Canon 5DII) but you could not tell.

Combining technological advances with a picture of something or someone that might not be around in ten years and you'll be glad to have it. Maybe start culling pictures from 20 years ago now instead? :D
Sadly, I've been seeing the opposite. My large company keeps hiring groups of contractors out of India. They are low-quality and low-paid and are there for minor feature conversions. However, we see the company keeping them over strong employees every round of layoffs. The levels of technical debt someone will have to deal with in the future is absurd.
Yeah the .NET ecosystem around openapi is horrible. I at least want the typescript client story to be good
To be fair, it's not crazy to assume that the FAA doesn't know what they're doing after the 737MAX fuckups. As a regulatory body, they may be largely captured by industry at this point.
You are right about one thing - you have the luxury of popping a pill every day that treats your condition. And from that platform, you can look down on the others and tell them to just be patient and resilient.

Your injunction to “build psychological resilience” is exceptionally tone-deaf for those suffering from cognitive problems. If your prefrontal cortex was receiving insufficient perfusion and excessive inflammation, you would begin to see the futility of such a suggestion. Try telling that to someone who’s drowning.

The suggestion that people with LC can, through the measures you suggest, get back to “an acceptable level of life quality” demonstrates how little you understand of their situation. Many people suffering from LC were formerly top-performers in their respective fields and are now suffering considerably every single day- have been for many months or years - and are understandably desperate. Unfortunately, many have chosen to end their lives because after trying the approaches you suggest (and being gaslit in a similar fashion) they concluded that life was not worth living.

Finally, your saying this girl has no fucking idea what she is doing implies you are an expert in the subject matter that she writes in. Is that the case? I find that doubtful. And I sure hope not because the illogical way you reason here would be a huge disservice to the life-sciences field.
The web crawling is curation, as even the most mundane entries into the dataset will still have a significant weight on the model, even if it's small. What separates the brain from any statistics-driven model is how well it swims through an ocean of information to find the relevant details, tossing out what's left, and filling in gaps with intuition. Sure, its messy process, and mistakes get made, but that's in stark contrast to the very trim way that ML models run.
I would very much like to hear an answer to that from somebody who understands the subject deeply. Honestly, these days, I use containers for almost anything unusual and I don't update much either - precisely because anything you install with `apt` would have access to ALL of your system or at least limited access in read-only mode for some files and directories. And I would like to know if anyone can answer the same question for FreeBSD.
Just because there is some mobility between "classes" (here somehow imagined to be fundamentally different than castes) doesn't make discrimination go away.

Unemployed are heavily discriminated against and generally, people seem to love condoning off their respective social habitats at every opportunity.

Is hostillity diguised as competition with some weird "survival of the fittest" ideology actually producing better outcomes than friendly cooperation would?
Or are people just bad at nuance and distinguishing friend from foe?
My website started in 2004 and after 18+ years the only thing that's changed is the images are larger.
Humans write broken code all the time. Why would we expect a transformer model to get it right on the first shot? shouldn't the model be able to write code, build, test, and iterate?
If you'd been paying attention you'd see that he has made some good music since the fiasco, though he hasn't released it on traditionally-owned platforms.

Modifying a site to be less sensational does not make the makers of the site any less dishonest. Why would I do business with a site that is using sensationalism to get to my money when I could just do business with one of dozens of other travel websites who treat me better?

I’m getting some real good vibes here. We’re getting close. I’m sure actual enterprise actors can come up with something even worse.
This person has a strange vendetta against SpaceX and has in the past made some extremely doomy predictions that didn't pan out, e.g. that the FAA's environmental review of the BC site was going to end badly for SpaceX. I think they have a very strong confirmation bias in this direction that colors everything they write, and so they are probably not worth paying attention to regardless of what you think about SpaceX.

Being supported by some browsers is useless. It needs to be supported by all the major browsers, as shown by webp.

Apple did not support JPEG XL, based on past history was unlikely to do so, and despite what you say about Google having the most leverage they have none on Apple. If Apple doesn't want something supported, no iOS browser will support it. And if no iOS browser supports a format, it is not going to be useful in production.

I do find it hilarious that all the people who complained about Chrome supporting webp then went on to complain about Chrome not supporting JPEG XL. They're both Google-created formats not widely supported by the ecosystem!
Maybe :) Both are powerful tools, which can be used in a positive or negative way. Like always, the role of the parents is extremely important here, to guide and understand when and how such tools can and should be used.
OK, so ppt scientists in Stanford agree with Elon, big deal.
Part of it might be because everyone did their own thing back then. There weren't many frameworks or templates, and your content weren't delivered on top of massive social networks that enforced consistency, so individual websites looked unique and refreshing.

You might say that old websites were more artisanal while modern websites are more mass produced.
Dysfunctional democracies either stagnate or turn into totalitarian dictatorships when people elect totalitarians in a desperate attempt to fix intractable problems. A "vetocracy" where nothing can ever be done is one form of dysfunctional democracy, and if it gets too bad people will elect leaders that will force things through.

(I'm not even sure a vetocracy is a democracy. You could say it's a dictatorship of a small group of obstructionists.)

I want people to think more about the benefits of things and be skeptical of fear-mongers whose career is built around coming up with reasons to do nothing.

(P.S. I think right-wing culture war fear-mongering is also a bunch of bullshit.)
> There’s no way I want to go back ... making half the amount.

IMHO, if a company lays off an employee, and then wants them back as a contractor/consultant, the tasteful offer is that the money doubles, not halves.

When I became a manager I found my reports were being underpaid by 30% for their job level’s pay band. It was eventually “corrected” to bring them to the minimum of the pay band, but it definitely upset me to see how the sausage was being made. Of course they never asked for a raise or brought an offer from elsewhere so I guess they were fine with it.

It sounds like a boiling frog problem: they could only monetize the original idea so much and struggled to come up with original ideas in mobile games. So all they could do is just try harder to milk the original idea.

Apparently, there's still a billion dollars worth of merch and micro transactions that can still be milked.
JPEG XL is one of their own formats!
Kinda doesn't though. Mobile most of all needs concessions for the much more limited input precision.
That's a good tip! I also think its just as weird when sites have zero links to their home page. On what planet is "go to the address bar and delete the last part of the url and hit enter to go to the index" good user experience?
> An old boss taught me that I should never oppose an action without having an alternative viable course to propose.

It's pretty simple: launch from Cape Caneveral, Florida.
> According to the author, the FAA doesn't know what they're doing, SpaceX doesn't know what they're doing, the National Environmental Policy Act which exists solely to protect the environment in these scenarios apparently didn't work, but this uninvolved author somehow knows better than everyone that's actually involved.

I read TFA and that's not what I got from it at all. I read that Musk optimized for speed and cost, so he skipped normal things like a flame trench and water suppression. (although I recall the latter being hastily installed prior to the last test)

As a huge SpaceX fan and tank watcher, I can say that those are all things that I and many others have been concerned about as well.

But don't worry, this piece is flagged now so people won't have to worry about any of these silly things.

If densely populated, highly developed metropolitan locales in the richest large nation on Earth can’t support profitable business formation, something is wrong that won’t be fixed by government-sponsored coops.
They could. They could also choose to not to. They could also have done it and their set of reasons doesn’t align with yours.

They’re a private company. They can choose to do whatever they want or don’t want to.

If they don’t want to support JPEGXL, why should they be forced to do it? If it was such a necessary format, it would have been a competitive disadvantage to not have support and that would have forced their hand, but nobody else supports it either so why should Google be forced to if they (clearly) don’t want to.
Yep, should have had coffee before posting. Corrected and thanks!

It’s cheap, it’s reliable, and whenever I’ve had any sort of issue then Booking.com have fixed it right away. For all this urgency stuff, I’ve found them absolutely excellent.

+10 for "I don't install or play games on my phone anymore."

Same here. I gave me this rule: No games on phones or private work computers, as well as no crap like Facebook. I might expand this rule to other non-productivity apps as well, since gaming on a phone is a time drainer and distractor for me.
