Not true for everyone, I’ve worked in fields that are very interesting to me and felt bored, then worked in fields that are not at all interesting to me and I really enjoyed it. I’ve found my day to day happiness has less to do with the actual thing I’m making with software and more to do with who I’m making it with and if I feel I’m growing somehow through it.
Smart move tbh. While some will build one from scratch and enjoy the savings, most users will just buy hardware and enjoy OSS community improvements.

I really lack time to watch & respond to YouTube videos & really wish I had some ML system I used/knew to help me quickly assess such submissions.

The one off the bat comment though is that it's not a development paradigm. It's opening the floodgates to the web being a trillion million new & different things. If folks thought webdev was hard & complex before, there's about to be 3000x more choice & freedom. And you won't have view source this time.

I am a JS fanboy, but I relished the era where JS was the crossroads of all the other developers, where backends weren't JS & JS was an incidental meeting grounds for many minds & many ways of doing things. Now that we have a de jure JS Uber Alles, JS over all, I'm excited & happy to re-mix the world. But there are some very frightening ramifications for legibility, which are very quickly going from fine to meh to bottom-of-the-ocean, and how we can make this happen while being RFC-8890 The Internet is for End Users[1] complaint is a daunting & perhaps unlikely prospect. But I am glad, even though we hurt users here, to unshackle new forms of development, which I hope & pray help user's agency.

Alas the early indicators are all devilish shits making things worse. Flutter CanvasKit obliterates userscripts entirely. Hixie's Towards A Modern Web Stack[2] doesn't pause for a millisecond to consider the impact of what it preaches, is 100% focused on possible developer experiences. This is what most wasm work will be, and it's basically targeted demolition of the only hypermedia form factor humanity has, of our best tower of babel that all parties speak, to instead give developers divine right to control everything. Societal sabotage.

Exciting times, but Here Be Dragons, bad forces for humankind.

Remember boys, don’t fuck with the FAA.

I hope Mr Jacobs ends up serving several years (5-10 seems reasonable) to very strongly dissuade others from having similar ideas in the future. General aviation is already a relatively high risk activity without bringing reckless attention whoring influencers into the equation.
Even the Bible called for Jubilee years when all debts were forgiven.

In the modern paradigm we are all slaves to whomever controls the currency, and there is no off-ramp.
Umm, no. I stand by it, although heat pumps hadn’t occurred to me.

But a typical electric heater is probably not going to match the efficiency of a natural gas heater. It matters how much energy is lost in generation and transmission versus extraction and transmission though.

Also I don’t care for your comment. I think if we met in real life, we would not be friends.
lol please, as if one side is significantly better than the other. the establishment is exactly the same on both sides, and believe me, they do not work for you. stuff like "one side is refusing that" is just ridiculous partisanship, and anyone that believes it, on EITHER side, just lives in a bubble. and looking at things, the democrats are FAR more radical the the republicans. Both are borderline traitors though, and deserves not an iota of power

> I would like some day to be able to buy a microATX or Mini-ITX RISC-V board at a similar price to a board with an integrated x86-64 CPU.

It's not like 12 or 16 core (P core) x86 boards and CPUs that would be comparable to this machine for highly parallel tasks are cheap.

I paid $4500 for my 32 core Threadripper with 128 GB RAM in 2019.

A quick look on Amazon shows Ryzen 9 7900 computers are $2k with only 32 GB RAM. 7900x and 7950x machines are even more.

I just checked out the LLVM source code on the SG-2042. I'll see how build times compare to my Threadripper and M1 machines and report back.
Its hard to have a fulfilling job. Too many the managers try and make you feel like you are either fighting off an invasion or reloading between waves, no rest no reward just keep up the pace. All that effort you put in frequently has nothing lasting happen after with it. Reset tomorrow with more piled on your plate like today never happened.

Meanwhile, with these other things you do get fulfillment because you see directly the fruits of your labor investment. You garden and get food and a beautiful environment. You cook and get a wonderful meal. You woodwork and get something beautiful or functional or both. You work out or do sports and you see your body develop and improve. In all cases, you are getting better at something or producing things and taking full advantage of it. You get this sense of progression like you are skilling in an RPG except the benefits are tangible.

one day you’ll find yourself graduating college. Resist the temptation to move home, even temporarily. Force yourself to find a job, live on a budget, and become an adult.

ok grandpa, you do know that most college graduates are now saddled with horrendous college loans that are impossible to get away from, and that living anywhere even remotely desirable requires paying increasingly absurd rents, and yes, that includes that charming town you settled in after your grandparents paid the majority of a tuition that was a tiny fraction of what modern graduates are in hock for, even after adjusting for inflation? You also do know that "leaving your parents and living by yourself" has only been the norm for a brief period of time, and that, in fact, living in the ancestral manse is a great way to accumulate and consolidate pan-generational wealth, as well as to share the burdens of caring for the young, the old, and the infirm?
How is data being “stolen”? All of the data they collect is data which you are freely giving them by using their service, and ad blockers really don't prevent any of that: you're connecting to a Google server telling them where you live, what type of device you use, and what you're interested in. An ad blocker prevents you from seeing ads but it doesn't do anything to prevent resale of the data you volunteer.
I hope a better-run competitor arises and eats their lunch.
Nice catch! I tried to find this on PACER earlier but the case lookup didn't bring anything up on "TREVOR JACOB".
If it's in a language with guaranteed tail recursion optimisation and it's idiomatic in that language (these two things often go together) then fine, seems reasonable, Go With God.

Otherwise, nope, I don't care that "I checked and it's optimised correctly". We do not write optimiser dependent code in my house, write something that won't explode messily when we change target or upgrade the tools or whatever and now it stack overflows.
Why not? The original crime was stupidity. Destroying the evidence is outright malice.
Best single piece of advice:

Drinking at an Office Party

one day you’ll find yourself drinking at an office party. Want to be an observer of the inevitable shit show rather than the star? Skip the liquor and drink only beer or wine.

> A good number of people who have grown up with the promise of the tech are pretty well disgusted by what it's turned out to deliver (...)

I grew up with the PC and matured with the Internet, being optimistic along most of the journey even when I didn't view some of the outcomes favorably. When I read about the history of computing these days, even the ones that glorify progress, the interpretation is dark. It's not that I view the technology as bad. I have seen the good it can bring and I see the potential for how much more it can improve society. That said, I now believe that the promises were lies. The machines of my childhood, the "computers for masses, not the classes," or the, "bicycles for the mind," lost their luster of computers as the great equalizers once I realized these slogans were enablers for large corporations that were attempting to consolidate control over the industry.

Yes, I realize that interpretation is horrendously unfair. A lot of people at a lot of levels within those corporations probably believed in the social value of what they were delivering. When you look at what they were replacing, such as relatively inexpensive microcomputers for the consumer market replacing expensive computers for the business market, there is some truth to those promises. Yet it is also difficult to see those promises as anything more than ideals exploited by opportunists for their own personal gain. They didn't really care about the outcomes, so the outcomes never ended up reflecting the promises.
> Does the Pixel Tablet have a cellular plan option?

> No, the Pixel Tablet is only available with Wi-Fi connectivity.

and I am out. we have about 300 iPads at work, and I would be interested in swapping some to this, but it MUST have cellular data, no exception. otherwise its just a toy. Dumb move Google.
I'm out of the loop on this and Yuzu - I'm still surprised to see such an emulator written in C# but I've often seen it perform quite admirably, so what do I know?

I do wish that one of the two would more or less "win." I've followed Dolphin for years and I think it did amazingly well attracting contributions by being the top dog.

In this case I guess it's harder since the language isn't even the same - so, you kind of have to pick one or the other and stick with it while they're both more or less neck and neck.
I would assume by training LLM on dataset of 100k tokens would be the right way.
That’s all great, but it will also shorten your life span. People drive like shit and if you’re on the road with them every day you’re going to get hit sooner or later. The odds aren’t great.

USGS has the data, but I'd say I've noticed fewer.
No, mine is still going strong. Obviously not running the latest version of Android since it's a decade old, but it's perfectly fine as an eReader or for light web browsing (it does struggle a bit with JS-heavy sites)
Jsx is really a templating language, not a replacement for JS. React still involves writing a lot of JavaScript code, and typescript helps quite a bit both with the js and the jsx.
This is why you should keep a non-fast charger next to the bed. Something that can only ever do 5V. If you need to charge quickly, plug in somewhere else.

I think tech really needs a good campaign with these kind of virtues. It's unclear how wonderful & direct & real a world we have here.

Yes we have to interface up with the dirty ridiculous ill managed weak-grasp real world, but being close to the Machine & able to tangle with & manipulate these complex systems with such prowess & power, being able to explore problems & how to tackle them, is addictive as fuck. The potential as an individual to keep growing, keep seeing new things & encompass them, it's absurdly great a path to walk.

We direly need better ways to signal the meaningfulness & explorability of tech/dev, how great it is to be a connected in the loop agent in the system, finding out & steering things. I think this is semi-low availability in society today & is the killer feature of this path. Keep articles like this coming.
PuTTY has very expensive logging options ranging from visible output only to full control codes and even packets.

I always assumed OpenSSH offers this too but I've never had a need to actually check. I guess you can just 'tee' it anyway.
> a plateau is coming. A downward trend will follow.

The plateau is not coming fast enough, not even close. Scientists are very clear on this point.

We used all that oil and gas to get more work done, but we're still working more hours per year than those feudal peasants.

> people die from too much food than of too little.

We still have thirteen million hungry children in America. 700 million hungry people worldwide.

It's all very solvable, we just don't. We could end world hunger by eating like, two or three rich [0]. Knights and Kings have nothing on our oligarchs.

These trends of irresponsible emissions and rising inequality won't fix themselves. Not in time. Not without radical action.

Or how about we implement a FAIR tax system. the entire cost of the US is divided up by the count of its citizens equally. its easy to say "tax this tax that" when its other people getting ripped off. If everyone had to personally decide if playing warlord in god knows how many countries is worth the money they must rip out of their wallet, im guessing the US would be in less wars. if people had to vote with their wallet on whether stuff is worthwhile, i bet spending would be cut very very rapidly, instead everyone wants their cut of an increasingly larger cake, spiralling totally out of control
thanks for the invite. will check it out.
Haha, I did that one year in Vancouver. I was just tired of arriving to my destination with wet feet. The winter rain in the Pacific Northwest is something else. But you really take up a lot of the sidewalk. I’m tall at least, so I could usually just go over people by raising my arm if needed.
Here's the PR the article is refering to:

Right, goals by themselves aren't a problem. The simple fix to the Bostrom scenario is "Hey computer, remember what I said about maximizing paperclips? Nevermind that, produced just enough to cover our orders, with acceptable quality and minimal cost."

What kind of AI would respond to that second order by pretending to comply, while formulating a plan to seize control of civilization in order to continue with its true mission? I don't know, but the fact that we can easily imagine a human doing that must have something to with our evolutionary origin, and our in-built drive to survive and reproduce above all else. Maybe we could build a megalomaniacal AI, but we wouldn't do it by accident.

I was going to assert that the 'system role' provided by the API should prevent this problem if used properly.

But then I stumbled this recent information, which seems to say that the 'system role' is not quite behaving as intended or as you might expect from reading the docs.

https://community.openai.com/t/the-system-role-how-it-influe...
Interesting. PG docs don’t clarify whether visibility map gets updated for HOT update. Maybe even HOT update spoils index only scans. Although I can’t see why-no new index entries, heap visibility status hasn’t changed for any indexes.. wish to find some answers here but I could not.

Wrt secondary indexes, yes and no. There is a cost to traverse a B-tree for point lookups. Also, foreign keys may now be composite keys if primary key is composite as in the Dropbox example.

If the secondary index is very different from the primary, it will be more expensive. However it’s pretty common to at least use a “user_id” as the first part of the primary key. This will make partial full scans a lot faster for queries regarding a single user; only need to scan that users data, and it comes at a 1-2 order of magnitude cheaper disk read cost. So you’d need a secondary index only if the data you need is spread across 1000s of pages (megabytes of data for a single user in one table) and you’re looking for only a handful of rows randomly located in that sequence.

Twitter is a characteristic case where you need many different clustered sets for the same data (tweets) to power different peoples feeds. I believe twitter just stores many copies of tweets in different clusters in Redis- basically the same as having a (author_id, ts) primary key tweets table and a (follower_id, ts) primary key feed table, both having tweet data inlined. If one clustered table isn’t enough, use two.
What? Of course this has happened.

I grew up in a council house. I.e. a house created by pooled money in the form of taxes.

Houses must exist. Landlords are an inefficiency to be optimized out.
There are counter protestors in Russia, but they are quashed pretty quickly by Putin's government.

The media, which we're discussing right now, was leveraged to turn the Russian people in favor of the invasion of Ukraine, and against any "traitor" that protested against it.

Emotions aren't inherently bad, but I don't trust any emotional reaction the news media is trying to invoke. The news media is a firm institution of the status quo. I don't think anger from news stories will do much more than create controlled opposition. Notice how as soon as your anger puts you on the street in protests, they immediately turn on you and call you a rioter? Or if you egg a virulent transphobe, suddenly you're some kind of almost assassin?
One day, when you are old and think of yourself as wise, you will feel an urge to put together a little book of your attempts at advice. You will be tempted to divide this book into sections, with quotes from various dead white men, all of which lack closing quotes to match their opening quotes. Except for one, which has closing quotes. None of these quotes will be multi-paragraph quotes, which is the only case in which any grammar guides suggest unbalanced closing and opening quotation marks.

Resist this temptation.

Bonus points: Also resist the temptation to decorate the chapter headers with a red swash, that makes them look a pack of Marlboros. Who the hell even smokes any more, grandpa?
Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/723/
There was also Wickr but they discontinued their Wickr Me version for the masses and now just serving enterprise and military.
I was talking about classes as a design pattern, not just react classes.

That said, I don't miss higher order components, but I do find myself reaching for renderprops sometimes. I think it's still a great pattern.
None of them if you need to do something like pivot tables with dynamic number of columns. Postgres has some half baked pivoting functionality library, but you MUST define the column names in advance, which kind of defeats the purpose of a pivot table functionality.
Interesting. Regenerating replies does seem to help, for whatever reason. I've noticed the first after model loading seems to have a higher likelihood of being inaccurate or a hallucination.

Regenerating a GPT4xAlpaca 30B model from its initial answer of 243L, I got a variation of the following for the next 5 rerolls:

"Based on your qualifying time of 2:04.317 and the length of the race being 20 minutes, we can calculate the number of laps needed for the entire race. Assuming each lap takes approximately 2 minutes (based on the average speed), there will be 20 / 2 = 10 laps during the race.

Using the information provided about the car using 2.73 liters per lap, we can determine the total amount of fuel required for the race. Therefore, it would be advisable to carry at least 10 * 2.73 = 27.3 liters of fuel for this race."
I'm next door in Grass Valley, and basically the same experience here.

Also, I don't run into many HN folks in/from this area, let's get in touch and maybe meet up sometime.
It doesn’t make sense.

Crime A is $2500 fine or 2 mos in the slammer, let’s say.
