Has "boomer" slipped into meaning "people older than me" now? There are no boomer consoles.

This is well-aligned with why I am soon leaving my moderately high six figures to work on my own thing for a while completely unpaid. Success to me is building something great and that is something that no longer can be accomplished at a FAANG for the vast, vast majority of engineers at all levels. Sure you can twist some knobs and increase as revenue by 0.01% and be extremely valuable, but that is dead empty work.
As a serial FOIA litigator you have to sue. It's not too hard.

Having battled jails and prisons on similarly vague local comparison pricing for their commissary items, my bet is that none of the comparison procedures are being followed. They probably just expected the stores to be good and regulate themselves. Which never happens.
Yeah, check out the readme, includes demo videos and instructions.
I want to thank you for sharing and to return the favor by sharing some of myself. Don't feel like you have to respond or even read it. I just feel bad for asking you to share without providing you with anything back. I'm a afraid I'm going through something similar myself, and it's incredibly valuable for me to read what you've gone though and relate that to myself. I honestly have no idea how I'll handle this or what I'll do.

I'm working on somehow getting a new job (although the self-doubt, fear, and guilt is making is really difficult), and I'm hoping that getting a whiff of something new will at least provide some hope for something worth living for. I don't know if I even like software anymore. I don't know if I was ever good at it, if I'm even good at anything, but I have to believe, because what's the alternative?

Meanwhile I just keep showing up, attending meetings with people yelling at me. Blaming me for the technical problems they didn't want to allocate resources to fix. Even then I can't convince myself that It's not actually MY fault. Maybe i truly didn't communicate how poor the technical state was. Maybe I did actually deserve to be yelled at. Maybe I'm just fucking useless. What's more likely, a whole layer of middle managers being wrong, or that I'm just fucking useless? Wisdom of the crowds and such.

At least I know that my struggle is actually a struggle, and not just me being a weak baby about it, So thank you for that comfort.

PS: It's also quite a coincidence that you started skating. I too recalled how "cool" i thought the skaters looked when I was young, the happy days of playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater, and how I longed to be cool like that. After riding an electric long board for a year I decided that maybe skating an acoustic skateboard would be fun, and it is. When skating I feel like I'm doing something. I don't feel like i need to be good. I feel cool. Maybe you don't have to be good at your job, maybe you can just be cool.
Yes that's fine; but what's the "candy" in your context?

We're all confused about the candy thing.
I mean, most people don't just invest all their savings in the stock market at once. Continually investing over time, or DCA, is super important.
In fact, it's probably a lot worse. EVs need better aero to extract as much range as possible out of the batteries due to the lower energy density.

Yes; like I said, it's a reflex. I know that it's abuse of terminology and I shouldn't overthink it, but, there's always a bit of a nag in my head when I hear it.

I have a similar annoyance with the notation for probability. I think stuff like `p(a)` is a historical mistake. We would have been better served with a notation that would make clear the distinction between a domain as an entity in itself, the set of possible values in the domain, and the action/event of selecting one or more values from that domain.

But oh well. The naming problem is one of the hardest problems in science after all :)

>It's been years now since I checked, but I remember a Best Buy airport vending machine having the same price as their stores.

It's been years now since I checked, but I remember needing (within hours) a specific ethernet card (for a box running Solaris x86 -- back in the late '90s/early noughties driver support for Solaris was quite limited) and went to a BestBuy store as they had it in stock near me.

I checked later on and found that the price in the store was 30% over MSRP.

As such, the fact that the price was the same at an airport vending machine vis-a-vis an actual store doesn't surprise me that much.

Which is why, unless I'm in a situation like I described above, I stay far, far away from BestBuy.

Obviously, this is anecdotal, so I imagine YMMV.

I'd like to chime in and say that social video games like CSGO or Dota or whatever with friends on discord can be wonderful social activities.
Afaik relative market share of consoles vs PC for gaming has stayed about the same with single digit shifts in the last few years.

Consoles are still dominant. I’d like to see statistics back up what you’re saying though.

PC gaming being a win for Microsoft doesn’t make a ton of sense to me. On console, they get a cut of every game sold. On PC they only get to profit of game pass games.

The only major win I see is preventing users from moving away from their OS.
Although FOSS is great, extreme wealth inequality has to be fixed by the government and not by open source developers.
Slight correction from an Turbo Pascal expert ;-)

Turbo Pascal did NOT have an 8-byte fixed point "currency" type suitable for monetary calculations. It did have an int64 type called "comp" though which was handled as a float by the FPU and hence not slower than the types "single" (f32), "double" (f64) or "extended" (f80).

IIRC, "currency" came with Delphi V2.0 (or even later), but then still it wasn't slower than other floats when you did heavy calculations with it as it was also handled by the FPU. Only reads and writes from and to such variables were expensive as there was always a scaling (multiplication by 1e4 and 1e-4) involved — internally it was that int64 "comp" type. (But here I might be wrong, I never really used "currency", I disassembled lots of Delphi binaries with lots of different data types as I wanted to know how the compiler worked. Today however my Delphi knowledge is quite fuzzy).
> Thanks to the open-source efforts like LLaMA ...

Is the LLaMA model really open source now? Last I checked it was only licensed for non-commercial use, which isn't open source software at least. Have they changed the license? Are people depending on "databases can't be copyrighted"? Are people just presuming they won't be caught?

There's lots of OSS that can use LLaMA but that's different from the model itself.

This is a genuine question, people are making assertions but I can't find evidence for the assertions.
How big is the "runtime" part? My use case would basically be: run this in a native app that links against webgpu (wgpu or dawn). Is there a reference implementation for this runtime that one could study?
No, it's absolutely normal. It's difficult to ignore voices.

The same way it's difficult to tell the color of a written word if the word itself is a color.

Full time employment isn’t the purpose for which a digital nomad enters any country. They already have that in their home country, and presence in the US (or any other country) doesn’t enable them to fulfil their duties in a way that they couldn’t do in any other country.

A digital nomad enters a country exclusively to pursue the pleasure of tourism. The entire point of digital nomadism is that those people have realised they can engage in tourism year-round.
There will be LLM specific chips coming to market soon which will be specialized to the task.

not to mention security requirements ... the more paranoid they make people about what they can bring, the less likely they are to attempt to bring food or drink in themselves and end up resigning yourself to buying it in the terminal.

There seems to be a deliberate fog of war around travel requirements. The specifics of the rules are different everywhere (take my shoes off? belt off? laptop in my bag or out of my bag? ...). Which is slightly annoying in itself but what is really annoying is the lack of explanation of what those specific requirements are at any one airport. Which means inevitably being yelled at by security staff, feeling stupid, setting off scanners accidentally etc. It's all very unpleasant.

This tells me that Germany, despite all their talk to the contrary, are really just deniers of the seriousness of Climate Change.

If you really believed the science on the seriousness of Climate Change, you would see that powering down existing nuclear plants is one of the stupidest things you could do. Even a Chernobyl every decade would be preferable to the consequences of increased CO2 output.
Can you describe a credible submission to a bug bounty that isn't "100% isomorphic to extortion"?
Yeah exactly.

Batteries tend to take up the bottom couple inches of the car, as the "skateboard" design wins. 2170 cells are 70mm tall, 2.75 inches. That's not a huge factor. Also, it doesn't affect the incredibly crucial hood height, which could be greatly lowered since there's no engine/engine bay needed! Also the underside of gas cars need at least exhaust, sometimes drive axles, and usually other crap that can be deleted from ev's that helps lower EVs too. I don't think EVs are practically any taller.

They also, recently, have all the weight at the bottom, which is extremely from a handling/stability perspective. Even if you slam on the breaks, sideways at speed, you ain't gonna flip (some SUV's excepted). This is useful for emergency braking.

As for weight, the main potential problem is braking. Thankfully anti-lock brakes & big calipers are quite amazing. Ioniq vehicles have a 60-0 stopping distance of 118ft, which is on the low end of most vehicles in general, such as the also well performing Honda Accord Sport 2.0T. In car on car situations the additional weight has extra inertia but cars are generally quite resillient. As for pedestrians bicyclists & others light targets, cars already weighed so vastly much more that it's hard to imagine the extra weight changing 99.999% of accident outcomes significantly.
I agree with this take.

I work on a small team (2 backend devs, 2 frontend). The we are always arguing about the API. The frontend devs want the data for their components pre-formatted in 1 API call. The backend team wants to run a SQL query and return the entire record as JSON.
The algorithm is a little more complicated than that, as various judgements have been added in, but always with specific rules. When there was a trend of tech companies going public with dual classes of shares leaving founders in control forever (e.g. Zuck with Facebook) they announced that any company which went public after date X with dual classes to prevent the economic owners from exercising control would not be allowed onto the index. Similarly, there are rules about profitability that, IIRC, were added after the first dotcom bubble to try and keep extreme bubbles from mucking up the index (I think it's that you need to have two consecutive quarters of profitability, but I don't remember the details).

Also, the market cap of company 450 and company 550 are close enough that recent market performance can flop ]back and forth fairly regularly, which the S&P has further rules to try and limit, though again I don't remember the details. Again, they try to be fairly rules based, but do exercise some discretion in creating the rules.
Building a culture to minimize burn-out
I don't think i exploit other humans for profit. What makes you think I do?

- again, you have no formation and are spewing nonsense. And adding "period" at the end. And you know it too, you're saying yourself that nutrition science is unscientific.

- I'm unsure what you mean. Do animals have no moral value? When should we care about animals? Why care about a dog's suffering and not a pig's? They have the same nociceptors, just as we do. I'm just being consistent with not causing unnecessary suffering. I don't know where "equal" was said? I even said "relatable" as in there is no relation between your mentionned slave labor and animal exploitation. You drew a parallel to feel better about exploiting animals.

I do write documentation, but what often happens in companies is that you are forced to use Confluence or other such software since the documentation has to be available and editable for all kinds of users in your company. Technical or non-technical. This makes it a hassle for developers to use these tools when they really would like your example of docs directory.

What I'm trying to do is to have the same advantages as tool like confluence but make it as developer friendly as possible. With my tool, you can actually just write the docs into the docs directory if you want and then sync them with our cli tool so you can also edit and view them with your browser from anywhere.
When a company needs such tool, they also usually have a problem that the documentation is not up-to-date; my git integration is made to address that.

I think if you don't have these kinds of needs or problems I'm describing. You are able to write your docs to the doc folder and don't value the git integration or AI assistant, this probably ain't the tool for you. I completely understand why it sounds useless to you, but from working in the from software industry for a decade I believe there are enough companies with these kinds of problems I'm addressing.

Also thank you for feedback. Based on the comments I'm getting it seems like my web page isn't communicating the advantages of my tool well enough and I'll definitely need to fix that in the upcoming weeks.

<5% of companies have driven most of the returns of equities:

> We study long-run shareholder outcomes for over 64,000 global common stocks during the January 1990 to December 2020 period. We document that the majority, 55.2% of U.S. stocks and 57.4% of non-U.S. stocks, underperform one-month U.S. Treasury bills in terms of compound returns over the full sample. Focusing on aggregate shareholder outcomes, we find that the top-performing 2.4% of firms account for all of the $US 75.7 trillion in net global stock market wealth creation from 1990 to December 2020. Outside the US, 1.41% of firms account for the $US 30.7 trillion in net wealth creation.

> Four out of every seven common stocks that have appeared in the CRSP database since 1926 have lifetime buy-and-hold returns less than one-month Treasuries. When stated in terms of lifetime dollar wealth creation, the best-performing four percent of listed companies explain the net gain for the entire U.S. stock market since 1926, as other stocks collectively matched Treasury bills. These results highlight the important role of positive skewness in the distribution of individual stock returns, attributable both to skewness in monthly returns and to the effects of compounding. The results help to explain why poorly-diversified active strategies most often underperform market averages.

The trick is knowning which company(ies) will be that 5% and when: some do well for a time and then fade away: you would have to know when to jump in and out of them.

Type hints are great when using FastAPI. Your inputs are automatically validated, and you get a /docs endpoint that tells people what to expect from your API.

I'd say performance is far from the only reason to consider type hints.

There's nothing wrong with just automatically dismissing AI created art in the context of a contest. We don't allow horses to enter marathons, because even though they're fast it's not for them. We don't even allow people to use performance enhancing drugs, which might be a closer comparison.

Should we "condemn" the judges of chess tournaments for not allowing live coaching and chess AIs?
Modern AMD CPUs support memory encryption.

Unfortunately, it isn't enabled by default but needs kernel parameters.

>... it would still be an inaccurate claim to say he was making first ascents into his late 70s, let alone late 80s.

Right, which is why I said, "to TRY to be the first to ascend certain summits via certain routes, well into his late 80's and early 90's". I never said he succeeded, just that he was an older gentleman still putting forth as much as he could to accomplish a hefty goal, which happened to be a lot more than most at that age could do.

Edit: https://youtu.be/mc1sqxXSMZ4 at about 9 minutes 20 seconds in, they show him traveling to China at 83 to try to be the first to ascend Haizi Shan.

Most people know changing employers is the most reliable way to get promotions and raises, even though as employees gain experience with a company’s systems they should be more valuable to their existing employers than new ones. Counting on information asymmetry is the only possible explanation.

Perhaps we understand panspermia differently. I understand it as a possible answer to the question: how did most of the life in the universe arrive where it is presently to be found? Clearly not all life, since as a matter of certainty abiogenesis has occurred at least once.

>> If surface abiogenesis is unlikely, panspermia is more unlikely because it needs the former, plus ...

That depends. Panspermia gets a huge multiplier from distributing the number of planets and eons on which abiogenesis might have happened just once. So it depends on the relative impacts of very different factors - neither of which have been well quantified.

If panspermia had ever been feasible, it was likely more so in the earlier universe. Personally, I prefer it because it seems to follow the Copernican Principle.
