The utility of a goto is:

1. Sometimes more efficient code (state machines can make really good use of this pattern)

2. There is no structured programming equivalent or no good structured programming equivalent within the language.

For (2), you see it a lot in the Linux kernel (and similar) code where it's utilized for early exits. Where a language like Go might use a defer statement or Java and similar might use a try/catch/finally and exceptions, C would put a bunch of clean up statements after one or more labels at the end of the function before the single return. Which label you go to (if you use more than one) would depend on how far into the function you've gotten.
Everyone serious batches together short prompts so the cost is roughly proportional to the tokens.
one thing you may want to do is use a wizard/quiz style intake form.

button Start on landing page

1. first questions should be option base selection

2. then maybe another option selection.

3. now you can ask some open form questions(one at a time) with no personal info.

4. now you can ask for email.

it has a lot high conversion than a form like you have currently

This also help you be able to gauge if the landing page is resonating or not because if they click through you are at least getting some feedback.
Enzymes are much too unstable and expensive to ever make sense in electricity production, especially when compared to inorganic solutions like PV.

The other way around is more sensible though, using electricity to produce hydrogen (Enzymatic electrolysis cells, EFCs), for example from distillery wastewater.

Bad phrasing has a lot of people up in arms. Unfortunate PR incident for Element/Matrix.
But that’s so simple to validate. I mean, I have funds in a few accounts and every one of them shows up in FDIC’s bankfind tool and “member fdic” is advertised by the banks.

The link you posted does mention fdic but it says Gemini’s deposits are fdic insured (probably true as what kind of a crazy company keeps cash in uninsured accounts). Definitely shady of them to word it like that as it’s likely meant to confuse and mislead. But again, pretty easy to validate and disprove before sending any funds.

I hope you get something back and I guess the good news is that you only make this mistake once in life and teach everyone in your family how to avoid.
What's the URL for the c2 wiki? What does c2 stand for?
It depends on what aspect of men and women you mean. Socialization, biology, endocrinology, reproduction? Saying "Men and women are different" is an easily defendable conclusion. However, the implications that you are making from that regarding anatomy, physiology, and psychology are very hard to prove. There is significant overlap between men and women in each aspect.

PS: This type of argument is called a Motte and Bailey. You provide two arguments, one weak and one strong then fall back to the strong argument when challenged.

Fine as long as you're able to keep earning said salary. It's the state you end up in when you're not for whatever reason that's arguably the big difference. My own partner's a nurse and has gone through extensive periods where her income has been low or non-existent and while it wasn't really an issue given the presence of my salary to fall back on it's not hard to see how difficult things might become esp. if there were no/limited government subsidized healthcare and high levels of student debt (again, thankfully not such a problem in Australia - even as a foreign student, as she was, there are measures in place to ensure they don't saddle themselves with unreasonable debt. Citizens can often pay off higher education fees within a few years of graduating, and no repayments are required in years your salary is below a certain threshold)
The very rich and very poor have a lot of children. The middle have little.
I’m not sure what the terms of the deal were. but I am sure if the payment for the 7% interest was to be made in the same coin and loans were to also be made at the same rate if not higher, then all of those coins would appreciate in value. what causes inflation and therefore depreciation is printing too much money. What causes appreciation for a coin is scarcity that can be created by interest rates, especially super high ones. When not enough coins are being minted And interest is accumulating Then it creates a deficiency in supply.

I have literally no experience with music or any of this stuff.

I've seen a few videos and the OP1 looks cool - how do these things perform?

Are they decent but expensive, or are they just pretty but trash?

IMO Apple pulls this off well because their devices work really decently while also holding that premium look.
That’s what “loss” means. They gave it away and didn’t get it back.

MySQL and MariaDB have diverged quite a bit. I recently wrote a roundup of just the differences in table functionality and DDL, and despite keeping the post focused to that relatively-narrow topic, the list of differences is getting VERY long: https://www.skeema.io/blog/2023/05/10/mysql-vs-mariadb-schem...
I mentioned this in a sister comment, but in a bit of fairness to me, Gemini was claiming some degree of FDIC insurance on GUSD coins. I definitely should have read the fine print more thoroughly.

Clearly I'm not the only one who was suckered by some of this verbiage though: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-7
Some people need to go to school, get certifications, do extracurricular activities, work unfulfilling jobs… just to give themselves permission to try for a better position. I have never understood this need for this rigor. It’s upsetting watching my friends fall distantly behind me because they won’t accept the risk of failing interviews or jobs (especially those with no children and have a significant savings). I have been fired multiple times and failed many interviews, and it was all worth it. I can sense their frustration with the “luck” I have had but it was all about taking those risks early on.
What you're saying effectively boils down to "being rich is better than being poor". Risk is still risk, and it has a market value, whether or not you want to acknowledge it.

But debit cards are, which also work, it's not just credit cards.
I will very likely buy one. I don't need it, or any field recorder really, although I do already own a "regular" Sony field recorder that I use occasionally, but not professionally.

I'll buy it because I love well made, beautiful, functional things. It's the reason I own and regularly use a Leica camera, a (custom) mechanical keyboard, specific reel to reel tape decks and turntables, etc. I also have a particular interest in recording and playback devices of all kinds. Fundamentally I just enjoy and appreciate them. By contrast, I don't care about cars and drive a cheap 15-year old one.

I do of course realize that for many people price must be a primary consideration. I'm grateful and lucky to be in a position where I can (carefully) spend more on certain things. For other people, price is just more important than the things I cited even if they could afford something like this. That's completely reasonable and understandable, too.
Yes, caching the states of the sequence would make sense. An issue is that it's still more expensive to compute the new tokens even if you cache the states viewed so far
It's basically an inefficient, but effective way to siphon money from the poor and middle class and deposit it into the bank accounts of the wealthy by utilizing the equity the poor and middle class have in their vehicles.
So far YouTube's ads haven't convinced me to invest - much less invest with those advertised companies; frankly, I would probably go to my bank if I were to get into investing, I mean I already trust them with my money.
That makes sense! I was giving early career ranges in Chicago in the mid-2010s (without factoring in bonus). NYC PropTrading salaries are (unsurprisingly) higher.

That said, mid-career (5-7 YoE) tech in the Bay Area at least reaches around $170-250k base with an additional $100-400k in stock+bonus over the 4 year vest.

Factoring in hours worked it seemed more competitive than around $200-300k TC for SWEs at the larger PropTrading firms in Chicago at least.
It's actually funny to see mentioned again, just like recently in a linus torvalds interview about git, how the "ruby people" contributed yet again to the massive popularity surge of an otherwise unrelated piece of software. It was definitely a special time, the ascension of that community.

And obviously, antirez and redis rock!
I'm sorry for your loss but I hope you take this as a lesson that crypto is just snake oil. Some in these comments try and paint this as just an FTX problem but it's not.

For cryptoskeptics such as myself it's been fascinating to watch as the crypto world speedruns the lessons of debt, finance and the banking system that led them to work the way they do. A lot of otherwise smart people in other areas discovered those smarts don't automatically transfer to disrupting the financial system.

What ultimately underlies the financial system--including crypto--is trust and, beyond that, the military might of governments.

To your specific case, I saw a quote (that I can't find) that basically said that any investment consistently offering above-market returns is eitehr a scam or has risks that you cannot see.

Bear Stearns returned above market returns every month until it didn't, and that was that.
Facebook has, at minimum, 3 teams maintaining MySQL. including a team who genuinely modifies it into submission. so much that they needed 1,700 patches to port their modified version to 8.0.

It is not relevant to the discussion to discuss how Facebook has managed to munge it to work reasonably well by pouring thousands of hours of engineer time into the effort; and MySQLs in-place upgrades absolutely do not work the way you describe consistently.

I know this because I have been in the code, and only after having experienced it. Maybe some of your lovely colleagues has helped out your particular version to be marginally more sane.

It genuinely must be nice having a dozen people who can work around these issues though, I certainly wouldn’t consider it an operational win, most companies have no DB automation engineers, or DB performance engineers or MySQL infrastructure engineers.

> Replicating from an older-version primary to a newer-version replica is fully supported.

Here also be dragons, as eluded to. I know it works quite often, I have used it.

FWIW: I ran global AAA online-only game profile systems on a handful of Postgres machines at about 120k transactions/s in 2016, I would have needed 5x as many instances to do it in MySQL, and this was only tiny part of our hosted infra.. which included a global edge deployment of game servers, auth servers, matchmaking, voice bridges and so on.

This is why BBEdit is still my absolute go-to as a technical writer. I’ve found other editors that are prettier, but it’s just so darn good at text manipulation it’s hard to believe.

While I drifted away from BBEdit for coding a while ago, BBEdit 14’s LSP support has pulled me back to some degree. I put together a decent Elixir package for it and, to my own mild surprise, like it more than Panic Nova or Doom Emacs. (Nova has tremendous potential, but it feels like it’s still tripping over its own shoelaces a little too often.)
Erasmus is a specific program that does exchanges within the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus_Programme

In Sweden, we only use that word to talk about exchange studies within that program. If someone mentions Erasmus, I would never, before reading your comment, even consider they might mean going to the USA.

Not to disqualify your experience, it might very well be used like that in your country or language. I just thought it was a bit interesting.
They found a niche in selling aesthetically striking, slightly unwieldy products to people who have more money than sense. The OP-1 at least had a unique set of features (arguably, you're better off with an iPad), but these widgets they're cranking out are really just a tap into the luxury money firehose, and in a way, it's hard to knock them for it.

No one who's using Zoom field records (and that's mostly everybody who does field recordings) is going to buy this unless they've got nepo money

I use GPT-4 through the API, but I can't help but hate the token/characterization pricing of these LLM APIs we've seen so far. Because the entire context needs to be fed back into the model, as my conversation gets longer, it gets more expensive. Yeah, it's fractions of a cent and cheaper, but something about it is so psychologically taxing that I'd rather pay a flat sum/month and get unlimited access, even if it costs more considering my usage.
So he is calling for high taxes on the asset-holding class?
If the government was obligated to get approval from every single person for every single decision there would be no government; you cannot even get every single person to agree that the sun rises in the east or the sky is blue. You have a petulant child's worldview.
I mean that at any time it was extremely common to see something like "well yes it was bad [amount of time ago], but now it's actually good!"

Before long that "actually good" is lumped in with the time when it was bad... but now, of course, it's actually good!

These investments were comparable to money market funds. There’s no way passive cash is viable at those returns.

If Commercial Real Estate is paying 8.5% and someone starts offering “Crypto Commercial Real Estate” as a competing product for those same fundamentals but offers 400% return, would you still be unable to assess its viability?
> But that’s so simple to validate.

Simple to who? Simple to you? I didn't invest in Gemini and also thought these returns were obviously bunk, but I've never heard of "FDIC's bankfind tool" before your comment.

The guy already said he accepts his share of the blame for not doing DD, but I'm not sure why you're so insistent that it's entirely his fault when SBF was clearly committing fraud.

The fact that Elon didn't also announce who the CEO will be is very telling.

Not a chance. That is 5 years from now.

The only realistic projection, with the current knowledge is 2060 to 2070. For the first demonstration. Add then 40 years to build the first commercial facilities, assuming it's even profitable with the technology used at that time...Many would say the example you provided, and taking into account the lab where is coming from, is more about justifying keeping a nuclear weapons facility relevant.

It remains to be seen just how effective longer contexts are because if the attention vectors don't ever learn to pick up specific items from further back in the text then having more tokens doesn't really matter.

Given that the conventional cost of training attention layers grows quadratically with the number of tokens I think Anthropic is doing some kind of approximation here. Not clear at all that you would get the same results as vanilla attention.
You're not alone, and I'm kinda glad you posted. It's some sort of failed minimalism that just bothers me. It's like the bad Ikea manual of the music world.
This reminds me of an old finance joke my professor told me (this was when rates were 0): if somebody offers you 20% interest p.a. on an FDIC insured account, and you put in $1,000,000 today, how much money will you have in 5 years?

The correct answer is 0, because you're being scammed.
There aren't a lot of tools available to government (or capital for that matter) which can sustainably juice employment. Only an organic increase in demand will do it without incurring inflation imo, and the only things on the horizon which will pull that off are AI (ironically) and fusion power.

UBI (mentioned in the article) may well work fine on a national-economic level, but it's existence threatens several business models which are predicated on the availability of masses of unemployed and unskilled people, which would be a self-reinforcing phenomenon.

Long story short is that AI is coming for capitalism. I believe any solution would have to entail the ideation of a new economic system, and what passes for the aristocracy these days is almost certainly not going to be on-board, inevitably leading to historically interesting times.
Anecdotal, but btcJam was one of the first to the market of paying interest, and could offer 8% with significant reputation recourse.

Btcjam were making the market between miners buying more equipment and capital much earlier.

You're right, I didn't 'get it' until I worked at a place that was all TDD and I was surrounded by people who took it seriously. It wasn't about 100% coverage or any forced mechanics. It was simply a group of people who were all on the exact same page working on the same exact methodology. Almost a 'cult' of programmers.

> i haven't worked out how to test-drive that

That's exactly it. I don't always see tests as being necessary for greenfield code. You don't have to test drive it. But, you should write tests. Once you figure it out and have things in a place where you're comfortable, write a test so that when you go back and make a change later... you know that the code will break tests and you can be confident of 'change over time'.
He was already de facto CTO, given his experience with requiring employees to print out code and firing them from it.
Hwang is the greatest. Most rich people just get comfortable/scared and go to index funds while there was absolutely no reason to stop given the amount of liquidity in the public markets.

Ironically he ran out of liquidity, but it was a great example of what's possible.
You'd be surprised the peak current demand of modern smartphones. AVERAGE current demand (not peak) of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 can hit 16W for short periods of time. At 3V, that's 5+ amps out of the battery. Worse if you account for efficiency, and even worse if you account for other power draws such as camera, display, etc etc. Running at 3-4C for short bursts is not out of the question.
Every hire is a chance taken for both sides of the transaction. This argument is tired and can be spun another way: a new employee is a blank slate. The employer will define a working method that cannot be compared and judged based on experience (they have none). The employer may even benefit further from a fresh perspective on working methods.

Let's push it further: can we say the same for very experienced employees? Isn't the employer taking a chance on the employee being willing to learn and adopt a potentially different workflow? Maybe we deduct from the value of a highly experienced employee due to the likelihood of them being stuck in their ways. Oh wait that's ageist now isn't it.. Funny how that double standard works.
I love physical buttons. My keyboard has the exact right keyswitches for how I type. On the other end of the spectrum is my car's absolutely cursed touchscreen and capacitive buttons.

The TP-7's buttons look really great, until you get to the part about the motorized wheel. That thing is going to jam with lint or sand or beard hair and that's the end. Or something is going to accidentally touch it and you'll miss a key moment of an interview.

I wonder what the battery life would be without that thing.
Yes, for over half a decade at least, but “binlog” is a MySQL term, for postgresql it has the much more apt name: write-ahead log.

The Phoenix fab is extremely likely to be a disaster. Even besides the cost of labor and incompatible work culture, the whole idea was a political concession to the US to begin with rather than genuine interest on TSMC's part. You can already easily find reports of discontent and setbacks, and that's just what's available in English.

And I suspect you would be sorely disappointed with how many would be interested in packing up shop for the US, if it came to that. SMIC and others already have success luring engineers to the mainland.
I love the idea of a news summary, but this is also something of a reductio ad absurdum of "just the facts" reporting. Informative reporting would tell me what happened, who is affected, why it might matter to me, etc. Having a point of view (or a bias, if you like) is unavoidable when providing context, but providing context is essential to being informative.

It's a hard problem! But I'd guess that not many people will stick with this as their news source, because it won't hold their interest, because it doesn't include all that information about why they might want to care.
My favourite conspiracy theory lately is that the Saudis needed to increase the oil price to recover losses from their VC investments.
