I have home fiber. Again, I have 20 ms to Google. 40 ms (approximately what you'd expect from two not-physically-far-apart home fiber links) is already in the range that playing traditional instruments in sync is basically impossible. At a more typical 100 ms between nodes, that's a full 16th note of lag at common tempos. You can get up to 200+ ms between continents.

I know people that have also done it with techno, but they consider the lag as part of their unique sound. It's not something you can do with music in a general purpose sense.
Azure Devops Services is an updated version of their old Team Foundation Server stuff. You can't create projects, teams, or workitem areas/iteration paths that are any of the microsoft magic names ( con, nul, ...etc... ), presumably because they store the data on a windows drive and it would implode. git repos, too, but that's just good planning for any git service since allowing microsoft reserved names would make the repo unclonable to microsoft systems.

I’ve had two ex-coworkers move to Latin America while working full-time remote. One to Mexico City and one doing digital nomad for a few years in Argentina and Chile.

I don’t work directly with them but see their updates on LinkedIn and they claim, and have sustained GitHub activity at least, that they work exactly the same as when they were in the New York suburbs and Miami suburbs.

I read Eastern Standard Tribe [0] by Cory Doctorow maybe 10 or 20 years ago and have been looking forward to remote work aligned by time zones for quite a while.

This post reminded me that I’m still somewhat surprised ChatGPT-like systems did not arise out of China first due to their massive investment funds for AI and their base of stem talent.

Last time I went to a theatre, I bought tickets for specific seats. When my wife and I arrived, we discovered elderly couple occupying our seats and leaving us with worse options. I tried to explain to them that we paid for those and they just “played dumb”. It also became obvious that the man was down with some cold. We ended up leaving before the movie started.
On the other hand, the link description alone was enough to convince me that this is something I want.

Having a very specific target makes it easier to reach that target in writing, I guess, and harder for people outside the target to understand what it's about.
Barely anything, just measured the BENQ projector in the shed - the front of the projector is 65cm from the screen, and the rear (where the mirror is) is 91cm from the screen.

In the shed it is ceiling mounted so just the mirror is visible as I have it built into the roof (with some fans for cooling). In the living room the similar projector just sits on the floor a similar distance. We sit at the other end of the room, so further away from the fan noise (not that there is much, esp in eco mode.)

The opposite is true.

First, there is no middle, it would be more useful to describe socioeconomic classes of people by decile, or even quintile.

But the top 10% surely owns more real estate than the bottom 90%, so low property tax is very regressive since it allows them to hoard real estate, while the rest of the population pays to secure it via funding the police/legal system.

Second, the lower socioeconomic classes are going to spend all of their money on rent, and goods and services, like consumables and healthcare and food and tolls. So sales tax and usage based taxes for things necessary to live are the most regressive.

Third, property tax can be broken down into land value tax and building value tax. The former being low is a problem since it incentivizes hoarding land at less than maximum economic usage, ultimately reducing supply of housing, ultimately increasing rents on the lowest socioeconomic classes amongst other phenomena like food desserts.

So if the goal is progressive taxation, then a very high land value tax, and no building value tax would be the way to go.
The way I phrased it isn't exactly structured to admit any kind of evidence, so let me destructure it. My observation is that:

- The argument that LLMs are missing introspection / inner voice is based on attempting to compare LLMs directly with human minds.

- Human minds have conscious and unconscious parts; for many people, part of the boundary between unconscious and conscious mind manifests as the "inner voice" - the one that makes verbalized thoughts "appear" in their head (or rather perhaps become consciously observed).

- Based entirely on my own experience in using GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, and my own introspection, I feel that GPT-4 bears a lot of resemblance to my inner voice in terms of functioning.

- Therefore I propose that comparing LLMs directly to human minds is unproductive, and it's much more interesting/useful to compare them to the inner voice in human minds: the part of the boundary between unconscious and conscious that uses natural language for I/O.

From the FAQ:

> The biggest reason you would want to use a lockfree data structure in such a scenario would be performance. Locking has a non-neglegible runtime cost on hosted systems as every lock requires a syscall.

This is misleading. While a lock does have a runtime cost, in some cases that cost is less than all the force CPU cache synchronization calls that lock free needs to do. With a lock you only have to sync once, after all the operations are done. You need to carefully measure this to see which is more performant for your application.

I'll give this a try. Managing "hidden state" in notebooks is a known flaw of Jupyter. If nothing else, an indicator that says, "this code is dirty" would be useful.

I have a long standing habit of doing "restart kernel and run all cells" before walking away from a session, to help avoid this. I'd rather see it break in front of me than have it break 6 months later or in someone else's use.

Yes, it's fundamentally unfair to those interviewees who don't cheat. And the process is broken. However, the conclusion this person reaches - we must conduct these broken interviews in person so the cheaters can't cheat - is the wrong one.

Look at it from the point of view of the hiring company now, not the interviewer. They got a person who was good enough (based on the merits of their actual work, not interview performance) to subsequently get promoted. So, hiring mission accomplished, end of story. They may not have found the very best person for the job (very subjective and unknowable anyway), but if the process didn't result in an under-performer taking the job, the process did not fail. And, importantly, there's no reason whatsoever to think that if no cheating was allowed and a different person took the job, that they would on average be any better.
Reactive notebooks are what change the workflow from command line-like to spreadsheet-like.

It may not matter much of you use the notebook as a glorified terminal, but it is a godsend if your workflow involves data analysis with heavy dependencies between filtered subsets.
TBF I don't think this is bad. The "cheating" involved seems a closer match to the actual real world conditions of the doing the job than the artificial "no internet allowed" assessment. If the candidates can get stuff done but need the internet as a reference, that's still getting stuff done. Not surprising that they are now getting promoted given they can not only get stuff done, but were resourceful enough to find a method to "cheat" and also pull it off successfully whilst being monitored.
> how copyright is destroying musicians.

I honestly think the industry doesn't care, as long as the money flows. Like a lot of creative "jobs", there are 2 types of people who do them; those that can afford to and those that "have to" for whatever personal reasons.

The industry will continue to squeeze money out of both of them because the supply is essentially endless.
If you're using a telescope, say with a modest focal length of 1000mm, then if it is held still on a tripod, then the stars will move across the field of view at a rate of a few pixels per second (depending on the exact sensor, and what part of the sky you're pointing at). Therefore, each individual picture will need to be less than a second in duration, before stacking in software.

It does work. I have produced acceptable images of the Andromeda galaxy by using a 150-600mm lens at 150mm on a tripod taking 1.3s exposures. I took 1151 images, which is a total of 24 minutes of light collection, and the image was rather mediocre.

I then make a rudimentary tracker, and took 22 exposures of 6s each, at 600mm, and the results were way better. At 600mm, I would have had to take 0.3s exposures untracked, and it would have been awful. I then bought a proper tracker, and did 254 exposures of 30s each at 600mm, and the result was just so much better.

The problem is that a lot of the pretty stuff we can make pictures of is very dim, so the main thing driving image quality (assuming the optics are OK) is the noise level of those dark pixels.

There are several reasons why it is better to have a physical tracker. One is that the noise from the sensor consists of shot/Poisson noise (from the photons coming in), dark current, and readout noise. If you have very short exposures, then the readout noise dominates. The shot noise is a physical limit - you can't get lower noise than the shot noise for the number of photons that you collect; you can only improve that by collecting more photons. The readout noise is entirely added by the equipment, and you can minimise that by taking longer exposures. The dark current is improved by cooling the sensor down. Other reasons are the data quantity (if you're processing it later or keeping the raw data, as most astrophotographers do), processing time, and wear on the shutter mechanism (if it is mechanical). Also, if you have a reasonably long telescope, if you don't have a tracker then the subject will keep moving out of the frame in less time than you would expect, and you'll have to keep re-pointing the telescope anyway.

Lucky imaging is the opposite - then you do deliberately want to take lots of short exposures to get sharper images, but the trade-off is that the noise is higher, and you really want to have a sensor with an electronic shutter. Short exposures are only suitable when there is something in the frame that is bright enough to register as a reasonably bright few pixels, otherwise there is nothing to align the frames with, and lucky imaging can't work out how sharp each frame is.
the `.jl` was in effect dropped. Tbh, I landed on the page and started to skim it and it was highly confusing..

Just try to read the landing page without realizing "Plots" is a proper name :))

"juliaplots.org" - looks like a website about plotting in Julia

"Plots - powerful convenience for visualization in Julia" I guess they are...

"Almost everything in Plots is done by specifying plot attributes." I guess you could abstract all plotting that way.. interesting take

"Intro to Plots in Julia" an introduction to plotting in Julia!

"Plots is a visualization interface and toolset" I guess that's a way to think about plotting.. kinda philosophical.. but okay

Only when I got to this sentence "Plots might be the last plotting package you ever learn." did I realize this was the actual proper name of the library :))

I can also imagine using the name in conversation would lead to ridiculous things like "You should making your plots with plots" etc.

Anyway, it's just a bit confusing when you skim it. It's gotta be one of the most unusual library names I've seen
But it also makes no sense to forbid it. If Apple were a hardware company, letting people use their software on other devices wouldn't cut their baseline. After all, people buy Apple because of the hardware, right?

Apparently not, and because they subsidise the software using hardware sales, they don't want to decouple the two.

The Sony/PS situation is exactly the opposite: Sony subsidizes hardware using software (games) sales. Which is why they don't allow you to use different software on a PS.

> somewhat surprised ChatGPT-like systems did not arise out of China first due to their massive investment funds for AI and their base of stem talent.

Does China innovate in this way? I think software is not a linear function of money in, value out. Inventing new programs and techniques is interesting as I’m sure what the spark is, and it certainly takes money, but that’s not the most important part.

I remember reading in Masters of Doom about how John Carmack came up with some of the innovations id software used and was amazed that he, alone, came up with stuff that large, well-funded teams could not.

I expect that China could have invested its entire GDP into stem and AI for the past 10 years and would not have came up with LLMs and ChatGPT. Or perhaps they did, but kept it secret and would never release it as a product to the public.

But I believe the former based on the few software companies and few software innovations coming out of China in the past 20 years.

Ground up rethinks that takes into account whether or not there's an actual reason to make a change is good. Ground up rethinks that throws things away for the sake of throwing them away even what they end up doing would layer cleanly are not. They're at best lazy. At worst intentional attempts at diluting effort. I'm hoping they've only been lazy.

I grew up staunchly against cheating. Becoming an adult was hard. My whole university class cheated on a tough assignment - someone found the solution online and shared it around. I didn't look at it, took the challenge and gave it a lot of effort. I got a pretty bad mark and the rest of the class got top marks.

I also see the same mindset in work. People don't prepare for presentations and then spitball when presenting it. It's not "cheating" but it's skipping the effort and preparation in the same way.

I’m still figuring it out :) just the position change in LinkedIn has started some conversations but I’m currently working on my personal site because it feel like when people ask me where to look for what I can do I don’t have anything to show them yet (most of my career has been for employers, so I don’t own any of my previous work, only stories)

At the same time I’ve started attending local networking events and meeting businesses (chamber of commerce, meetup, etc) and I’m working on some simple items for friends to get testimonials and portfolio.

It is kind of annoying looking back at more than a decade of work and not owning anything of it! Sure, I got paid, but so what?
