Mine is 150-160 (varies by how much I’m sleep deprived during the IQ test) and I’m told that I’m exceptionally intelligent by teachers, friends, colleagues, most everyone I met since early childhood. I guess the more the difference to average, the more it stands out. From my experience, I believe higher IQ is nothing but better pattern recognition and being smart or genius means merely higher IQ + very good memory capability. I believe those two are interlinked [0]. By memory capability I mean not forgetting anything you’ve ever seen, not in the sense of being able to recall every minute of your entire life, but in the sense of reliably and always being able to recall all info regarding X if you’ve seen X only once in your life. Higher intelligence doesn’t mean you’re automatically better off than everyone also. It just means that you can be far ahead of everyone in any cognitive task with a far smaller amount of effort put in. Note that this doesn’t conflict with IQ being a reliable predictor of financial success, rather I believe this is the reason for it.

I don't understand why people like to bath in drama like this. Yes, there are statistics... But, to be a bit cynic, you can spend your whole life being afraid of everything. But you can not spend the rest of your death being sorry about the decision that led to your demise. IOW, I'd much rather have a burden-free life where I might be a little unlucky and die before I reach the average lifespan... Instead of being careful and afraid the whole time but very old and bored.

Is it that my doctor told me that I have only a 50/50 chance of reaching the age of 30 that I see risks as a worthwhile thing to embark on. Or am I just stupid not wanting to waste my life with fear and not caring enough about becoming old?
Wouldn't Kubernetes and/or Dapr just add even more latency before the packets reach Redis?

It seems like the parent comment's author is implying that Redis is already too slow even when running it on bare metal and connecting directly to it.

Adding additional things like service discovery and proxies in the network path will not speed it up. To speed it up you would need to bring Redis closer, so perhaps you meant using k8 tools like "pod topology spread contraints" to do so (juxtaposing with the default k8 behavior that may spread workloads out in an undesirable manner)?

Simply going from "we are not using k8s" to "we are using k8s" won't speed up latency to Redis.
Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't aware of that usage.

I feel the same though. I don't see how these things backfire at Microsoft. Rather than them doing something particular, I see that every such entity is doing things like this, so it's more of just a sign of the times, and MS just doing what everyone else is doing.
Um. You have not read any pre-19th century English-language literature, have you? If you think there are no good rules, expose yourself to how the language was written before there were _any_ such rules. Finnigin's Wake, anything by Cotton Mathers and the like.

It is not capitalizing so much as responding in a suggestive way. This project was started as a response to GPT-4, it is true. When OpenAI came out with version 4 and then refused to release any technical information whatsoever that was a wake up call for the founder. He correctly saw openai straying from its original goal to serve humanity by making a landing strip for safe AGI. The name was suggestive of what OpenAI has forgotten... that this foundational technology should be open to everyone. 4all. That is why we've released everything we've done under Apache 2.0 or MIT licenses. We're not being cynical.
I put it second behind "premature optimisation" which is used to justify never caring about performance at all (until it's too late and you can't do anything about it).

I just bought a new HP ENVY laptop with a Win 11 Pro license. I replaced the RAM and M.2 before first power-up and made a USB boot drive with the Windows 11 media creation application to do the install. The installer lacked wifi drivers so I had to google how to get past that to create an account, but now I have a local-only login and I've turned off the location/weather/ads things and Win 11 is fine. I'm not a fan of the Start menu (Win2k was my preferred) but the laptop is very usable.

Coming from Windows 8.1 on the previous PC, my setup of Windows 11 is fine.

I don't know how normal people buy a new PC and not accidentally sign up for a subscription or three, there's SOOOO many nags with unintuitive choices, but once past all that it's fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by "traffic rules", I have a roundabout in front of my home in the middle of a major german city that's surrounded by crosswalks, with a daycare and two schools next to it.
What is quite sad is that OpenAI has strayed from being open and for everyone like its original founding principles suggested. When GPT-4 came out they released hardly any technical information. This project was a response to that and suggests, rightfully, what OpenAI should be doing: creating this foundational technology and making advances that help everyone. Make it for all.
The US indeed has a similar cost level but it just puts that out in tax form or takes on more debt. Result: lots of outdated infrastructure and plants like this and companies that leave their mess for tax payers to clean up rather than investing themselves. Like in this case with a nuclear plant that was bought last year and promptly shut down by its new owner. Why would they buy such an old plant at the end of its life?

Now instead of taking the cost of decommissioning it (which costs lots of money) they are now looking to reopen it using public funding. So, they are happy to profit from this deal but not without public funding. The permit is probably less of an issue than finding the hundreds of millions needed to refurbish this plant. Kind of weird if you look at it like that. Until of course you realize that the prospect of public funding was the whole reason for this company to buy this plant. Basically, tax payers and consumers take all the risk. They take the profit. That's how the nuclear business works. Never mind that this plant still needs to be shut down and decommissioned eventually. Who is going to be paying for that?
I dont know how to explain it. I’ve used all major OS’s including a couple of flavors of Linux. I just love windows. 11 is pretty awesome for me where I use it on my surface pro 8 and it’s just really nice especially with touch. Touch is definitely a huge part of my workflow too to the point that when I sit at my desktop I sometimes try to touch the screen.

There are so many tiny quality of life things like being able to use auto hot key to macro my way around daily stuff or how the file explorer works in a way that feels more intuitive. The little thing of being able to win+shift+s and snip a part of the screen where it loads into the clipboard immediately and does not save to a file by default. I heart power toys so much especially fancy zones which I use extensively. I also do like customizing my start menu. I find building my native home brew apps for the OS to be more pleasant. I find the windows terminal to be a fabulous experience I couldn’t live without now. Wsl is a blessing where I have multiple OS’s which I need and they don’t bog the system down. All my games work fine. I just… I really love the OS and what it lets me do.

Other OS’s could probably do similar things (auto hot key is your final boss though) but I guess windows just clicks for me really really well.

Literally, the only things I’d change about it right now are the whole adware/spyware bit and making the file path work like it does in Unix based systems. Backslashes! Urgh.

I have several roundabouts near me and most have prioritized pedestrian crosswalks on all exits (Zebrastreifen), some with extra room for cars to break when they notice pedestrians. The ones lacking pedestrian prioritization are outside the city or in industrial zones.
Yes it was better than 8.0, but 8.x definitely did not sell as well as Windows 7.

Windows 7 got 3 years of ESU (extended security updates), which MS did not bother with Winodws 8 because there wasn't the install base worth the effort (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-8-1-supp...).

It was the same with Vista - it's predecessor, Windows XP, was supported until 2014, which was 2 years more than Vista got
Its more a factor of not wanting to participate in the hypocrisy that is required to continue to allow American's to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity under the guise of 'protecting democracy'. Nobody outside the American agitprop bubble believes that is really the purpose of the USA's demands, any more.

Even if the American people are afraid of it, the rest of the world is quite capable of viewing the evidence of American war crimes and crimes against humanity. Especially the French, who consider this a vital issue, given the extent of their borders invalidation by refugees from America's wars ...

djb is like a litmus test.

How someone reacts to him can reveal whether that person is someone who thinks they are smarter than they really are, a personality type that is common amongst software developers. These are the type of people who cannot admit when they are wrong, and will never admit that they are incompetent. Arguably, it is because of such people that we are drowning in crappy software, and even worse, that crappy software is popular.

IMHO, djb is on the side of the user, whether intentionally or not. djbdns allowed me, a user, to take control of DNS on the networks and computers I own. The philosophy of BIND at the time felt like "DNS is for DNS experts. We're experts. Do as we tell you."^1 I also learned nsd so I do use BIND zone file format. But I never became a BIND user.

1. I see a parallel in the context of "certificate authorities". Nothing wrong with "CAs" in theory but in practice, i.e., commercialisation of certificates and browser-centricity, the system reeks. Pay to play, or at least mandatory third party intermediaries, and generally user hostile.
All seem nice until I get to see the search results.. which I cannot "read". It's very difficult to read an output that goes 5x boxes horizontally, and each such line goes then vertically on "forever". It's like yellow pages book from the 1990s.
I personally don't think 11 is trash, to date it's been my most stable OS. Absolutely zero issues whatsoever, it just works. Both 7 and 10 had blue screens frequently (on the same machine).
If you use GPT4 as a "routing" service to send down to other models the journey is only beginning and most of the industry hasn't understood we're well beyond a doubling at the moment.

In London there's been a big move over the last decade to remove big urban roundabouts for precisely that reason. They make sense for vehicles, but they make mixed use areas much more dangerous. Roundabouts are slowly being converted to C shaped junctions with dedicated cycle routes and lanes in both direction. I imagine they're probably a lot less efficient for cars, but they also don't tend to kill people at the same rate.

I still think roundabouts are a great idea for more rural road junctions. They're much safer, and I suspect more efficient, than cross roads controlled by traffic lights. I was driving around Toronto last year and the amount of stopping and starting at traffic lights you have to do is infuriating.
I frequently have a train of thought for “why so many SUVs” and then remember a line from David Foster Wallace’s “This is Water” speech [0]…

“ it’s not impossible that some of these people in SUV’s have been in horrible auto accidents in the past, and now find driving so terrifying that their therapist has all but ordered them to get a huge, heavy SUV so they can feel safe enough to drive.”

This specific speech changed my way of thinking from considering all these soccer moms in SUVs as jerks sucking up resources into more nuance that maybe they have reasons for why they want a big vehicle and don’t mind paying extra for gas because of it.

It also helped me when my adult child really wanted a big SUV as their first car even though they had no kids, no dogs, no sports with equipment. It was kind of inexplicable to me why they wanted a big SUV, but this quote made me relax and trust that they had a good reason.

I wouldn't count a city of 250k as "smaller".

Of course, perspective. I'm in a "big city" right now, smaller than Reno, and it is the biggest city I've lived in.

See the recent update to https://gpt4all.io which does exactly that:

"Running on your local computer, this model is not as powerful as those GPT models you can chat with over the internet by sending your data to large powerful servers and is not affiliated with them."
Those are not really there by default. They’re there if you increase the threat level.
I think is has value for code to be idiomatic. It's a very dynamic goal post for sure, which is a problem in a rule but not in a principle like in the article.

To me, code that is not idiomatic sounds wrong, which is at least a cognitive hurdle (you need to spend more thinking power to unravel/decode it to figure out the meaning). I believe this is in line with the usage regarding natural (human) languages. A sentence might be syntactically correct but if its non-idiomatic it sounds wrong and throws the listener(s) for a loop understanding it.

A very simple example is that in C, I greatly favor allocations to be written according to:

P = malloc(N * sizeof *P)

where P is the pointer variable receiving the return value, and N is an expression yielding the number of desired elements. The sizeof is completely idiomatic, always present unless I'm allocating an actual byte buffer, and always de-references P like that to lock the size to the receiving pointer. So this is my idiom for how an allocation is written. It might (should!) be yours, too but that's not a requirement in a personal principle I guess.

Not sure the roundabout is the problem? What alternative would be better?

I mean adding zebra-crossing would be better, but you can combine them with a roundabout, can't you?

I do agree that cars are a big problem. I wonder if we should tax them higher to properly price in their negative externalities. (And Germany already has a lot higher taxes on driving than eg the US.)
We have these in Atlanta and while I get the concept I think they are often improperly sized and become their own form of congestion. Some of them create weaving due to lames becoming turn out on ramp lanes with little warning. It’s not uncommon to have a gridlock due to four lanes wanting to pour into two lanes. In examples where there are +1/+2 lanes where two are used for the respective on ramp/off ramp traffic there seems to be less gridlock.

I didn’t grow up here so it’s possible these were built to the existing road width and the improvement was worth it even though the narrower versions are not ideally sized.

I've never made any friends at a "gathering place". I think most people show up to bars, restaurants, or anything like that with people they already know.

Apart from meeting friends through existing friends (the "acquire your second million first" problem), by the far the best (if not only) way I've found to make friends is through shared-interest clubs.

If you show up frequently to events where you have shared interests, it becomes very likely that you'll make friends with some of the other regulars.

Bonus points if:

- it's not too big a group (more chance of interaction)
- shared exercise, like a sports group (endorphins help with bonding)
- involves weekends or other trips away (living together briefly helps a lot)
- niche interest (small network)
- completing tasks together (work also counts here)
