This is a fantastic machine, thanks for sharing. 64GB with Oculink looks phenomenal. I had a one mix at some point, but repairability was basically "get insurance money if it breaks", but for the performance and the form factor I might just switch back.
To those skeptical of the calculations and if this is measureable:

1. I bet the modelling took construction sites data, which has been accumulated a long ago. You probably didn't know, but constructors know that big buildings tend to sink by several centimeters during and a bit after construction, and there are data and simple calculation models for that. At least this is what my friends in construction engineering say.

(When I started reading, I expected this to be based on Earth crust models -- there are cases with Scandinavia that rises 1 cm per year because 10K years ago the big think glaciers melted, and pressure on crust lowered a lot -- but seems it's not the case.)

2. Many cities have land fixtures for land lots marking, and geodesic work at construction sites. You must have such fixtures, rough or fine, or you'll end up learning that your wall is projected into the adjacent building by several cm/inches, and you need to adjust the project, or, opposite, with a big gap between them.

So there's geodesic fixtures everywhere in the cities. In Germany, you can see them on kerb stones, like a big jeans button, 3-5 cm (2") wide, with a small hole in the middle as an aim. In other cities they're less pronounced, but they do exist.

3. Geodesists routinely measure the drift of such fixtures, because the ground drifts both with Earth crust alltogether, and locally, and you must know where and how much.

I'm sure such small drift relative to other shores this is measureable over decades. Not sure one can deduct it over a couple of years though, as it's just too much distance vs little drift.

But you can probably measure the drift of a grid of fixtures inside Manhattan itself and notice the trends.

Satellite measurements are not that reliable as many think, as GPS signal has interferences and error margin of a meter, and I speculate thatlocal GPS stations get their coordinates by manual input based on local geodesic fixtures.
Talks about throughput but doesn't mention memory I/O speed, which should be a bottleneck for LLMs
I generally agree, but I think there’s a mistake here comparing something like Postgres to hand-rolled code: Postgres has to implement generally safe optimizations and so cannot take advantage of invariants that cannot be expressed in a way it understands. For a specific task, with well-understood data, I’d expect a typical programmer should be able to outperform Postgres with a bit of effort.

The trade-off here is maintenance cost and a lack of flexibility due to specialization. So, IMO, one ought to reach for an SQL database first and then something else to optimize hot paths as determined by a profiler.

Ask HN: Can AI writing services compete with ChatGPT?
I know there are a lot of AI writing services like Copy.ai, Grammarly, etc. They were doing quite well before ChatGPT came along. But people can use ChatGPT for free to help them write or correct their grammar.

Does this kind of software still have value? If so, what’s their value?

Companies like Copy.ai basically are just wrappers on top of GPT models. Their value was the UI where the users can write and save their articles. But you can do all this with OpenAI for free now.

How can the AI writing services, like Copy.ai, compete with OpenAI?

I know this "blog" is probably hokum, but in my experience, the power of having a good network is incredible. I've been in tech for a decade, and only had a peoper whiteboard interview for my very first role, and have been able to leverage my network to get roles at some dream companies without having to go through the "invert a linkedlist"/"design a parking lot" type of interviews, with great pay raises, role hikes, and increased responsibilities.

Us engineers love complaining about the interview process, but then do NOTHING to display skill outside of a resume (and trust me, the amount of lying that happens in resumes is incredible).
We find that responses from existing generative search engines are fluent and appear informative, but frequently contain unsupported statements and inaccurate citations: on average, a mere 51.5% of generated sentences are fully supported by citations and only 74.5% of citations support their associated sentence. We believe that these results are concerningly low for systems that may serve as a primary tool for information-seeking users, especially given their facade of trustworthiness. We hope that our results further motivate the development of trustworthy generative search engines and help researchers and users better understand the shortcomings of existing commercial systems.

People downvoting you, but I think you are unknowingly touching on something interesting. We can get really high density without skyscrapers by building consistently somewhat high. The cores of Paris, Barcelona and Begin all have fairly consistently 4-5 story buildings without much space between them. It's also largely mixed use. I believe that the density of actually higher than many parts of Manhattan like the village or even parts of the upper east side. I think that's often outcome of somewhat central planning though and building up massively where demand is is an easier way to dynamically adjust to emerging needs.

My favorite though is as high and dense as possible and increase the likelihood that many people might even live and work within the same building. Connecting buildings on floors other than the ground floor is also something I'd love to see more of.

> Right now, at the behest of wall street banks, the Federal reserve is preventing narrow bank charters

The proper route for this is legislation, not rule making. Narrow banks aren't asking to just custody deposits. They're asking for a reserve account at the Fed.

(Also, Wall Street banks have nothing to do with this. The fear is deposits fleeing e.g. regional banks, not SIFIs.)
Colima/Lima already support more features than OrbStack, and are FOSS, and OrbStack will soon become a paid product (like Docker Desktop), so I would recommend either Colima or Docker Desktop instead.
SVB initiated its own bank run by selling securities at a loss and announcing a capital raise.

Also they did all sorts of dumb stuff like selling their interest rate hedges in early 2022 because they were worried the hedges would impair profits if interest rates happened not to rise.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting by separating banking and investing. Banking is about taking money from a bunch of risk averse people and investing it (e.g. by making loans to small businesses) and smoke and mirrors means safe money can be used for risky ventures. It's sort of a necessary way to push society towards taking on more risk. But banks can definitely juice returns by making riskier investments, or by keeping an insufficient capital buffer. That is what happened here and where our regulatory apparatus failed.

Also, n = 1, but I think I got a few jobs early in my career through application, got head hunted midway through a bit and then at the end its all networking. At a certain level of experience, if they want someone really senior it is often because the situation is a disaster and they hope you will be able to turn it around.

Well I grew up in the redwoods up in Humboldt, it is generally far to wet up there for a forest fire even occur, and if they do it doesn't spread much.

I think flooding is a far more realistic, as that happens every winter.

It has gotten much warmer and sunnier in recent years because of climate change, so perhaps forest fires will start to be a thing.

Also they don't even drop seeds until they are like 200 years old-- with all the logging that has been done most redwoods aren't growing from seeds these days, but from cuttings & off of existing stumps/roots.

That way users who download it see the docs they expect, and those who build from the dev branch or download preview builds have to go through an extra step.

It's not, like, a big secret that the principal of long dated treasuries fluctuates more when rates move.

The thing is that banks don't look at these as something with a market value. Instead it's an instrument that guarantees a certain interest payment every month, which will not change until maturation. In that sense the treasuries were extremely safe and reliable and didn't stop functioning. It's just that whole bank run thing forced a recharacterization of the assets as something that could have risk.

> One thing that I've observed is that the more errors there are, the less likely people will look at them – much less fix the underlying source – so the problem only grows. If you have 1 error/month it's "zomg! An error! PANIC!" but if you have 10,000 every day it seems an insurmountable task to fix it all, "so whatever". I don't think it's apathy as the post suggests, it's just that it can seem like an insurmountable task and whatever you do will just be a drop in the ocean.

If I may broaden this, I think the same principle applies for:

- poor performance

- tech debt/otherwise hard to manage extant functionality

- gaps in documentation

And probably a lot more. If it’s one or a few narrowly identifiable problems, it can be easy to escalate and rally and solve. If it feels pervasive, even trying to address one thing feels insurmountable. And speaking to this from a perspective of being highly motivated to tackle problems like those I mention, and having some fairly significant successes in that regard over recent months, it still feels daunting. But it feels a lot more reasonably possible and more importantly demonstrably valuable the more I chip away at it. But it has taken actual years to get even that far.
Reading every error is a great idea, but you don't need to read them all yourself - let the computer read them for you.

This is what error aggregators (e.g. Rollbar) do. Now you've got 10-1000x leverage on your time because you're reading unique errors instead of every occurrence, and you've got more data to debug with because you've got data about the aggregates ("when did it start? what request params are common? what servers is it on?") in addition to data about the individual occurrences. You can still commit to solving them all ("Rollbar Zero"). It's just a whole lot easier.

Knowing the right people at the right time seems almost like a super power for getting your career going. I've gotten all my jobs by referral/invitation and everyone I then tried to refer myself also ended up getting hired straight away.

Now that's a totally useless sample size, but when I see people on here mention having sent hundreds of applications with no response, it just feels like I got super lucky somehow or they're doing something wrong.

I started growing a small network by doing some hobby programming during uni, being pretty good at it, joining communities and being active there, helping people with their problems, etc. Purely online connections with people I never met in real life, that others kept telling me are worthless. In the end getting those connections seems to have been the most important thing I've ever done, because they reached out to me when their companies were looking to hire.

A referral from the right person makes even old boundaries like being on the wrong continent meaningless. Just work remotely then, the company will figure something out... since you were recommended by someone they already trust, they're going to be far more willing to invest some extra resources.
There are a few "hardcore" staff/prinicpal engineers at my company (a well known tech unicorn). They are basically OGs who were a big part of the company's early success. Really smart and saavy guys who are left alone to focus on executing on big stuff.

The reality for other staff engineers here is exactly opposite though - you're not allowed to just be "executing" and your day consists of being stuck in meetings, doc writing, and management-lite. Honestly it's so bureaucratic and so far removed from the actual tech I really got turned off from that career path as I got more visibility into it.

For smaller companies it's probably much more fulfilling though.
