Not sure I follow…maybe there is a misunderstanding here

We do have symbol and footprint creation and editing capabilities…in fact the vast majority of parts on the platform have been created by users.

Now what we don’t do is offer a modal editor like legacy tools do…instead it happens all in the same mode, which simplifies a lot of the UX and also provides powerful new abilities such using a schematic to create simulation models.

Now that said I think we can do a lot more here to further improve the experience and we def will but you are right in that it hasn’t been much of an issue which is because you have access to a vast preexisting library in the platform
>What are you talking about? HPV is by far the simplest, cheapest and safest method of preventing a HPV induced cervix and throat cancer for a few decades already.

There is no evidence for it preventing any kind of cancer, not a single study supporting it. The HPV trial clinical only showed reduced incidence of the HPV strains the virus targets, over a short observation window. I.e. the same kind of study that showed the covid vaccines as 90%+ effective, when in fact far more than 10% of the vaccinated population ended up catching covid.

I don't know what it is like these days but us-east AZs used to be in different datacenters that were on different flood plains and power companies. They were just on a very high capacity (for the day) fiber ring. You still had a couple miles of light-delay latency in between them. A sufficiently big enough meteor, or a powerful enough massive hurricane, could probably take out multiple ones at the same time.

Generally, Hidet outperforms other inference compilers - PyTorch Eager, ORT, TRT, TVM. For example, PyTorch Eager - too much framework overhead. ORT -doesn't do operator fusion. TRT - close-sourced and hard to fix if a model can not run. TVM - tuning time is too long, also limited expressiveness in optimization.

Additionally this comes with Hidet Script, a brand new domain-specific language to write tensor programs in Python with high flexibility to express optimizations that can only be done in C++ CUDA C code. Hidet Script also supports operator tuning and automatic fusion.

Sure, despite my frustrations with it (and with the often frankly false claims about it tirelessly repeated by people who identify too strongly with it - it's a programming language, not a signed-in-blood manifesto for world peace and ubiquitous sex), I'm actually still quite engaged in using and learning Rust. It's even my main language for my own projects right now (I no longer work in tech/dev). Some of that is just stubbornness (because I find it hard), but some practical (performance, WASMability etc). I do like the way the type system makes it seem like things snick precisely into place when you get things right.

My beef (such as it is) is that I doubt I will ever get to the level of fluency where I 'just code' with it, rather than intermittent stripes of coding & fuming. It takes me probably 4x as long to do anything compared to any other language I've used (and although I'm not a talented programmer, I am a polyglot).

Oddly on the cli parsing thing, I did end up finding a library I like - bpaf. It's kind of abstract but seems more conceptually principled than the near-universal clap. The kind of abstraction where once you have grasped a small set of orthogonal concepts, you can just combine them at will, seems OK to me. As contrasted with the type which has dozens of small rules, and special cases that rely heavily on (human) memory and/or constant doc lookups.
I have to say I agree with you on the roundabout. Nothing changes a driver's mind like a square curb. That particular intersection didn't have space though, so they installed that abomination.

Changing driver behaviour though? I'm pretty negative about it.

I get honked at regularly for stopping at those stop signs. The police head to Twitter and make fun of a few drivers a week for stunt driving. The city is opening a new processing centre because they can't handle the load of the speeding tickets from the speed cameras.

Yet I only see more and more aggression out there. People drive like they're the only ones on the road.

It's a 40 minute walk, one way, from my door to the nearest store. As much as I'd love to avoid the situation altogether, I don't have time to walk. Forcing people to drive everywhere is probably part of the problem, though.

Thank you for providing a non-medium alternative!
To be clear, your claim is that a vaccine caused people to lose immunity to HPV? The reason why an HPV vaccine was developed _in the first place_ is that people don't have a "natural immunity" to HPV.

If your claim is that the covid-19 vaccines is related to an increase of HPV...you don't need to "hmm" about it. If you look at the data, you can see that the rate of HPV today is around the same as it was in 2019--before covid-19 and before the covid-19 vaccines.

As someone who claims to promote "common sense," I would hope that you would attempt to answer your questions and share the answers, rather than merely pose them.
The problem I have with this is who is the arbiter of what is "AI"? Couldn't I just claim I used "autonomous state machines" and not fall under this categorization?

It's also a literal pandora's box because somehow an AI itself can be copyright, but what it produces can't be? Surely it isn't very hard to have an AI that produces other AI? So who owns those?
Pretty hard to follow along. Never really explained why treating H as R^4 doesn't work as an interpolation. The angle-axis seems like a weird hack to pretend you're in R^3 or something?

GA is so conceptually beautiful.
I never said anything of the sort. DBX using AI might be a horrible flop. Nothing I said had anything to do with the [potential] success of their roadmap. Only that they have one (which, I guess, is only an assumption), and the OP doesn't know what it is but is commenting as though they do.
I do this as well. The fewer middlemen between me and the product or service I want, the better.
Well, that’s what Java records are for. As for having to change the type description, that’s more of a static typing discussion, though it can be generated — having a single source of truth and generating others is imo the best approach.
B2B SaaS Advice Please
Hi everyone,

I'd appreciate some advice. Built a B2B SaaS (my first one) and have it working. It does a very specific thing for a very specific type of business (Car Dealerships). I've focused it on purpose so its value is clear. I'm starting to cold email the people who would make purchasing decisions (management). The pricing is $19/month for context. Bootstrapping btw.

Being that this is new for me I wanted to ask if those who have experience could share their tips or thoughts on what I'm doing. So far I've been doing outbound cold emails. The contact info for the people I need to reach is very easy to access. My first email is very straight to the point so they can understand what it is and how it can help. I plan on following up with a quick demo showing the tool in action (specifically for their business). And then going from there.

Is there anything else I should be doing, not doing? Am I doing this right overall so far? How many emails should I send out before looking at the numbers and deciding I need to change something or fuel what's working? Anything helps, thanks.
That's a little pedantic. Of course all foods that aren't fresh picked and shoved into your mouth are "processed". But clearly the term as used here is processed with chemicals and fillers and preservatives and anti-caking agents, and the like.

Since virtually all the food we get at our stores is processed in this way it is leading to serious widespread health problems.
Ah gotcha, yes, you're right, except that only holds when you are not collecting any other data from the "subject" at all.

The major differentiating factor here is that that Dropbox does in fact process PII - convenient storage and distribution of their customers digital life is their raison d'être, after all, it's precisely what those people expect of Dropbox and pay them their monthly fee for.

In this case, where telemetry is gathered by the same desktop application that is also a primary component of their legitimate and consented-to data processing activities no less, they would at minimum be required to specify what information goes where, how it is anonymised, and for what purpose they require it.

I'm not assuming ill intent or unsanctioned data mining activities or anything of the sort, but whatever it is that they are collecting and doing is not as clear as it should be.

Saw a documentary a few years ago about young girls who got injured by this HPV vaccine. In fact I saw it before that in a local newspaper how a Hungarian company that promotes these HPV vaccines lie in an advertisement using clever tactics to mislead public and induce fear. It was very clever actually, showed it to some people and all of them got tricked by it.

In sum, you intend to point out that cognitive biases (or perhaps, cognitive dissonance) are also a form of magical thinking? Like OP, I find it hard to reconcile that with LSD/DNA discovery. In my view, biases mostly fool you; but they don't quite emerge out of an insight (magical thinking), as the article describes it.
I definitely empathize. Something similar is going on with amphetamine in the US due to DEA drug controls. People who need the drug are having access problems, and it's leading to the same tired "But do people really need it or are they just lazy?" and "Who needs it more?" discussions.

These obesity drugs are far more expensive though, sheesh.
This sets precedence for future cases. This is a good win no matter how small or obscure people want to think it is.

I'm amazed that they're able to disable a voltage regulator remotely. Did they just build in relays for every single component in case they wanted to rewire everything on the fly or was this something they specifically knew they might want to do 45 years ago?
The difficulty that SO has had trouble with is the "then the site suffers." How do you measure that? They want to run some A/B test that allows the corresponding measurement to show that things are better with a change.

However, it feels that the only way that they've really accepted measuring it from a sales / marketing view (as that's what brings in the revenue) is the "engagement" metric. People signing up, asking questions, and accessing the site.

Better moderation tools which would result in fewer but higher quality questions on the site shows up in that measurement of engagement as "worse".

---

The part that you encountered is that "if the question isn't answerable, it should be closed." That in turn feeds other parts of the system. Users are more likely to update their questions if they are closed rather than if they're left open. Other people who answer questions (but rarely engage in fixing up questions) are less likely to click on questions that are closed. People that routinely ask poor questions that get closed start getting automated warnings about their question quality before they ask a question and end up with a question ban if that behavior persists. A closed question without answers or edits to improve it get automatically deleted after 30 days.

Without going in and commenting on a question and then spending time with the person ("why don't you just answer it if you think you know the answer rather than commenting? If you don't like it just don't read it." is something I've seen many times) closing the question is a way to suggest improvements to the question without exposing yourself to users who not infrequently then pursue a... negative engagement with the person trying to help them ask a better question.

I can see about digging more (it's been a long time since I went looking for it) but somewhere on one of the meta sites was a post about the different interactions and the "engagement" metric for new users asking a first question.

The best way to not have them ask a second question is to completely ignore their question - no votes, no comments, no answers. Closing a question results in more people asking a second question that is positively received than having no interaction.

(late edit - did the digging - https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/216683/what-happens... )
Maybe. My sense is that there’s a finite amount of developer energy you have to allocate between different concerns. If you think of R, the language, as a base, then it’s definitely NOT a solid base (in my estimation). If you see it as a continuation of S, then it’s nearly 50 years of use for something you wouldn’t want to build on.

I’ll say the same thing about R+statistics as I will for Python+machine learning, for C++&game development / OpenCV, or Fortran and scientific computing. Having domain experts actually use your language to solve problems is such a massive advantage that you can almost ignore the benefits and drawbacks of the language itself. Almost.

Fair but any reasonable business leader will assess the risks and at least have a plan to get around them, and who knows they may be working towards that and hence the layoffs.

It seems they tried to go after the golden goose (build a platform) but instead existing platforms basically ate their lunch. That coupled with the changing social dynamics from reopening were too strong headwinds to weather with their current business model.

What this means is they are basically back to square one, and need to build a new product and pray they get to PMF. If they are lucky they will have some reusable components.

It will be interesting to see what happens to them and what they choose to go after in the next stage of their journey.

> organizations that have data useful for bespoke models store it in aws/etc whereas organizations with random files that they need to share across teams use Dropbox.

This is genuinely blind to anything that's happened in AI over the last 6-12 months. The data that is the most valuable to AI is exactly all of the random, unstructured data (product requirements, decisioning documents, engineering designs, process documentation, etc etc) that has been shared across teams.

> I just can’t even come up with plausible uses for AI that meaningfully change the company enough to require a layoff.

requiring a layoff no, certainly me neither. There is definitely a bit of "compliment sandwich" happening in this letter. The layoffs were likely just a long time coming for a company that has been rather stagnant for quit some time.

A point overlooked in the article is the Fat Controllers' complete disregard of environmental concerns. The fact that he continues to operate polluting steam trains with impunity suggests that any environmental lobby groups that may exist on the island have very little power. This also suggests that he has a lot of power over whatever form of government exists on the island. Likewise he has the support of the locals, possibly due to his being a major source of employment on the island. No doubt his sentient engines are also a major draw for tourists.

That and memory latency has improved much slower than everything else, so pointer chasing implicit throughout languages like Python is just horrendously slow. SRAM for bigger cache isn't scaling down anymore either in the last several process nodes.
The rental pilots are the exact thing I'm worried about. Your life is in their hands to an extreme level in a helicopter, as well as the mechanic.

The biggest psychopath I ever met with a decent drug habit (opiates) got fired from 3 companies over the years I knew of, although hesitantly because he's a likable guy (as long as the psycho doesn't set his target on you).

He's now a pilot, instructing other pilots in training for money, until he lands a corporate gig or with an airline.

You do not want that guy in charge of your life. And while these people exist everywhere, I don't think you're ever more at risk of being hurt by one than in a helicopter in one. It requires a lot of the person, and you just don't know if the person in the seat is trustworthy. If I made billions, I wouldn't risk it.
If by 'general purpose PL' you mean one used to write mainstream GUI apps, I nearly agree though I'd bet against Rust on that score.

If however you mean one used across a wide variety of industries, software types, and hardware, I think its future is already assured there. My own guess is that Rust will become quite ubiquitous for the performant and stable core of many software systems, with the interactive levels handled by other languages.
