My wife has an ID.4, and while it's a great vehicle, the UX is absolutely terrible. They're buried inside of a screen, many of the controls are different from what we've had for the past 40 years. Even worse are the window controls - you only have a passenger and driver side button, and have to toggle a touch control with no tactile or haptic feedback to switch between front and rear.
I had that game on optical media back then. I wonder if it still exists - now I kind of want to play it.
I just backgrounded the process for pedagogical purposes. Usually a process I'm concerned about is running in the foreground anyway, so I signal the process from another terminal.
Glad to help. Luckily, it's noted in the manpage for dd, so I can know it even after I forget!
I've spent plenty of time optimizing for milliseconds (for very high hourly rates, not on staff, so my work has a very clear cost and ROI) and I operate probably at least a dozen layers above the OS.

Modern CPUs execute a few million instructions per millisecond.

I think people who operate at a level where microsecond and nanoseconds matter may see it as dismissive to question gains of milliseconds.

When you see how to implement a REPL in Lisp, it will blow your mind.
Hammer's Slammers, anyone?

In the series of books they would use a laser to carve a hole in air and then inject a plasma made of super-heated copper into the collapsing channel. I always thought it was a pretty neat concept. That, along with their flying tanks. They used big fans to lift these M1 Abrams style battle tanks. I cannot imagine the power consumption for all of it.
To me it's more like the 3060 having 16GB is weird. It has the most VRAM in the generation after the 3090 (24GB).
I don't think the OP is arguing for a system-wide default prompt, but rather the ability to add his own default prompt. I think that would be quite useful. Something like "add 'think step by step, be concise' to all my prompts, unless I include '/noboilerplate' in the prompt".

Same for other systems. I recently generated dozens of images with Midjourney, which I wanted to all be in the same style. It sure would have been nice to tell it "add [artistic movement] illustration in the style of [artist]" to every prompt", without typing it in manually every time.
My story / anecdata.

About 6 months ago there was a posting about Ozempic and I had said something to the effect that it wasn't worth it watching some of the side effects my wife had from it. And then I went to the doctor for a check-up and lo and behold I had diabetes. Asymptomatic, but an A1C of 11. My doctor re-ran the test because he didn't believe it and it doesn't run in my family. My cholesterol had also jumped and he said he was going to put me on a statin after the initial 3 months of adjusting to the diabetes medication.

My Dr. puts me on Ozempic and I grumble about it but with that test results I had, I knew I had to do something. Fast forward 3 months, I dropped 20 pounds, and every other measurement is back in the green, including my A1C. Now, I made some serious lifestyle changes and ate a diabetic diet (limiting carbs, the types of carbs, etc), and have been keeping up with being more active but my entire relationship with food has changed because of Ozempic. Before I had a near compulsion to eat more than I should. Now, I don't because one, I feel fuller quicker and two, I know I'll feel horrible for hours if I over-eat. It only took one of those events to never want to do that again. I can't really explain why but I also don't have as strong of a desire to eat foods that are bad for me. I really thought I'd battle the cravings more after going cold turkey from "bad" foods. I can't say why it is but it's true. Side note, going to the grocery story was really difficult at first....there is so much sugar in the American food supply.

Energy wise I will say that I did struggle with low energy initially as my body adapted to lower calorie intake but I also learned that when I found the right balance of protein/complex carbs for me that my energy levels came back up and I now feel better than ever.

My doctor was shocked. I've never seen him that animated when I came back in for the 3 month follow-up. I didn't need to add any additional medications and they're slowly adjusting me back towards a single medication.
Diets fail because ppl lose willpower. These new drugs in theory make this easier
I’m of the same opinion. While I think I will keep the standard parameter order from torch, I will include the options overload to give all the benefits you describe.
Since we are on the topic of hackers browsers, does anyone know if Firefox can be made to split pane (both for seeing the same page side by side and also doing it for two different pages)? Having done that with file browsers and IDEs, I wonder how come it wasn't a main feature? Nobody needed to compare pages side by side?
I'm an engineer and talking from experience here.

1. keep the db schema simple. remember you are startup things change, so does the db schema so does your architecture.

2. One piece of advice from personal experience, Microservices usually don't work well for startups try building your solution as a modularized monolith.

3. always make decisions that are reversible (2 way door) and make sure coming back is also easy.

4. for any features you release have qualitative and quantitative metrics and more importantly guard rail metrics.

5. where ever you can use the an off the shelf solution like feature flags (launchdarkly), product analytics (amplitude) use them. These are solutions used by countless startups do not reinvent the wheel.

6. prioritize customer feedback, that is going to get you money and they are going to help make your product better. Instead of "failing fast" prioritize on "learning fast".

7. Be focussed on solving the problem don't romanticize the solution.
The link you point to claims 1.2% of fresh water is surface water, fyi. According to the link, the bulk is in glaciers and icebergs (~69% - nice). 30% is ground water, which is cool and all, but replenishes slowly from what I know.

Not to lecture but write out my thoughts, I feel like the discussion on climate change consistently revolves around who supports or opposes the idea and who/what is to blame. To me, looking around, it’s a conversation about responsibility. I don’t see how, say, having a bunch of casinos in Las Vegas is responsible behavior for a society. Same goes with eating a ton of calories and sitting around all day.

And you can say it’s not, no biggie, people do crazy shit all the time. But like a body, it can only take so much before (to extend the latter example) diabetes sets in. At some point it seems like a wise decision to be responsible with our planet and our bodies, collectively. But I don’t really see people willingly assuming responsibility for their actions, let alone their impact on the collective. Oof, especially in the US where the interest in “independence” has a large following.

Those are niceties and can be implemented with some small hacks. Most big nets do very little slicing. Lots of dimension permutations (transpose, reshape, and friends) but less slicing. I personally use a lot of slicing so will do my best to support a clean syntax.

Additionally, touch screens in cars are so hard to operate. The easy retort is that you should only operate them when perfectly still. I don't find that argument all that compelling, but even at that, I find myself needing to steady my hand to operate a car touchscreen with any precision (as with a phone when it's mounted - there's a reason why we steady it with our hand from the backside)

There's a lot of electronics on a little drone that all produces a lot of noise. Depending on the control schema it may be dumping a video feed or telemetry to the base station (typically over 2.4Ghz?). There's also an incidental EM footprint put out by the electronics on board. Brushless motors are extremely electronically noisy and shielding is expensive (by weight, aluminum foil works, but to be effective it needs to be wrapped around everything). I'd go hunting for ways to characterize that EM signature at a distance. Do you need to point a big collection dish at the target? Yes, very likely, but it should get you beyond the standard set of false-positive scenarios caused by Not Enough Information (TM).

Can we listen for motor noise broadcast by the brushless motors?

best to read the study before commenting on it

In the addiction literature, the development of gambling dependence after bariatric surgery is limited. Mitchel et al. reported that 2 cases presented with post-operative gambling addiction in their 3-year screening study in 201 post-op case (5). In our case, the presence of genetic background may be a risk factor for the develop-ment of gambling

2 out of 200 cases is not that common and close to baseline level
Visa takes zero from interchange but charges volume based service fees in the single-digit basis points (each) to the acquirer and issuer. Visa makes additional yield from cross-border payments and grosses up revenue from value-added services such as issuer or merchant processing (e.g Cybersource) and from other value add services like risk/fraud tools, consulting etc. Source: 12 years at Visa. Around 20something bps yield on volume averaged-out is correct math.

It's funny - I remember doing pretty much the same thing. I wrote my own GUI OS from scratch in x86 based partially on the following book, in about 1998:
https://www.amazon.com/Developing-32-Bit-Operating-System-Cd...

And then wrote my own Game Gear emulator for it one night, just for shits and giggles, like you did. It was also my first attempt at writing a whole system emulator, and the GG, like the GB, was incredibly well understood even back then.

For anyone interested in emulation I think it is a great little project to write a video game emulator. It is enormously fun to watch one of your favorite video games boot up in code that you wrote. And it is fun (for me) to try and debug all the little glitches where you've made errors or omissions in your emulator.
Sometimes software engineers forget coding should be the final step, and not the main step. Defining as much as you can,80/20 before starting will save you time. Certainly there are cases where you have an idea and you dive right in and it will work out but usually that won’t work out well from my experience

Calories are not created equal. They are equal in physics sense, but your body is not a "bomb calorimeter" (device to measure caloric content of whatever). So maybe instead of cutting your calories in half, you cut less and replace carb calories with fat calories or protein calories.
Or maybe you can even cut to 1000-1200 by replacing your calorie source with something else. For some weird reason carrots with butter work very well for me and I love the taste :-)
Of course climate has always changed. It's just that in the past it changed over the course of thousands or millions of years rather than within the span of a human lifetime like we're now experiencing.
Indeed. I created some aliases a few years ago to use pv in these cases. At least until I developed the habit of thinking about pv while composing the command.
Spot on, that's been my take on Kaku for the last fifteen years. The problem is, my local library keeps buying his books, to the exclusion of much better stuff. Einstein, Kaku, Feynman, Einstein, Kaku, Feynman....
And a step further into the past, no need for a lambda - I find this clearer:

function doWork() {
function calcX() {
if (foo()) return f();
if (bar()) return g();
return h();
}

return calcX() * 10;
}

Where "calc" can be "gen[erate]" or "find" or at least more descriptive.
Mine didn't ask that. I'll check on the settings again, thanks.

I'm a person who has vacillated between being close to normal weight and obese. I think people who don't have problems controlling their diet tend to underestimate just how hard it can be to eat at a calorie deficit or even just maintenance when you've lost a large amount of weight. When I'm at my lowest weight I literally am thinking about food constantly and my maintenance calorie intake drops to about 1500-1800 calories.

Don't worry about 1-2 years at the start of your career. You will easily pick up what they have learned in the industry, but it will take them a decade to pick up maybe 1/4 of what you learned in a CS degree.

Granted that will he the most important stuff, but there will still be things you know that they will probably never know.

As a self taught developer I struggled for years to teach myself mathematics and eventually enrolled in the Open University.

The lesson I learned is that theory is best learned in college, especially maths. The people who taught themselves this stuff took many generations to figure it out.
Yeah so the thing is WebGPU doesn’t correctly support IEEE floating point. Particularly, 0 is often substituted for +-Inf and NaN. See section 14.6 of the spec.

It’s not such a problem for real nets since you avoid those values like the plague. But the tests catch them and I need to make the tests are tolerant. Thanks for the results!

I would encourage a focus on "right productivity," (doing the right things at the right time with the right pace, rather than merely doing more or less.).
The key to "right productivity" is finding the right balance between quality and quantity, speed and deliberation, work and rest

If you are a 40 year old man with substantial financial power, and you're on a private island where a teenager suddenly wants to have sex with you, that throws an entire universe of red flags. It may not be illegal, but it would absolutely be the basis for me to cut someone out of my life, and I'm disappointed the galaxy brain libertarians here don't see what's obviously problematic about it.
Probably because people aren't acting on it, or sticking with it long enough to actually see results.

Like telling penguins they need to flap harder to fly. The literature on diets on abysmal. People lose some weight and regain it, probably as willpower runs out. Look at all these celebrity weight loss shows over the past 2 decades--almost every contestant regains the weight, and these are people who have a lot of money and access to top chefs, trainers, etc.
Yeah this is the trick. You need to maximize the use of workgroup parallelism and also lay things out in memory for those kernels to access efficiently. It’s a bit of a balancing act and I’ll be working on benchmarks to test out different strategies.
I actually relate to this quite a bit. For years I was a workaholic. I was constantly stressed out over work, was generally pretty miserable person.

A few years back got very intensely into a new hobby that blossomed and it totally changed my quality of life.

At the same time, I wouldn't say I've drastically changed my hours. I work 40-50 hr weeks typically, I just stopped putting in the 60 hour ones that I felt I needed to. No one ever noticed or cared. It was always my own impulse to do that. Even though in my head, I felt like there was pressure to do it.

I really think it was just my brain knowing I didn't have anything else lined up for life, so it just kept lining up more work for me.

If all of a sudden that person was told four day work week had arrived, it wouldn't have made a difference. I'd just be there feeling I needed to work cause I didn't have anything else to do.

Recently, my health has prevented me from participating in the hobby. And unsurprisingly I find myself obsessing over work again...

> Which means it will fit in the cache of modern CPUs many times over, though I may be ignoring some swap stuff.

has anyone ever done this with an OS? I assume it'd be impossible with hardware that needs DMA, and a bunch of other reasons, but it'd be cool to see a machine keep running after you pull out the RAM.
A lot of products aren't as hackable as they used to be. The obvious comparisons are comparing early laptops to the laptops of today and likewise with old and new smartphones. There are far fewer ports, more soldered on components, and they are harder to even take apart. And there's plenty more electronics where the cost/benefit to figuring out how to repair a product versus just buying a replacement doesn't make sense anymore, but also as you mentioned the mindset isn't as prevalent.

I wish I personally had more opportunity to tinker as a child but I'm glad I have a chance to catch up now, though I'm not really sure where to start. (And I don't have as much time to dedicate since I need to find a full-time job)
Not even code golf given that the example is a single character longer. Naming it "r" would be code golf (and "r" is definitely worse than "run" for reasoning).
Please do. I have a few test machines but cannot match the variety of hardware out there.
I am currently at work fighting the same class of problem. Bad pattern was used a few times, seemed to work. So it was used twenty times, still no problems. Now it’s used 100 times and it was 20% of response time. Got that down to half in a few months, now it’s a long slog to halve it again. It should never have been allowed to get past 3% of request startup time.
Isn't changing requirements one of the key principles of the Agile manifesto?

If so, why do we want to dive so much into requirements that are likely to change anyways?

Not saying we should jump into design without understanding the requirements, but sometimes requirements are incomplete or not clearly defined and we cannot sit and wait until a new revision is out or someone becomes available to answer our questions.

I guess this really depends on the area we operate.

In my business domain we call requirements "wish lists" as the solutions we build are for complex hardware that generally doesn't exist yet and there's a good chance the requirements spec you got today will be rewritten in six months, yet we need to start working as soon as the project is launched.

So we have learned to design things that are reasonably easy to adapt, replace and test, we even developed an entire framework for this very purpose that has become some sort of spinoff business as some customers wanted to use it for their in house development.

What's odd is that focusing on feedback loops and cognitive load usually lets one out-execute the competition, mapping pretty cleanly to beating them in the market. Yet both of these are hilariously lacking in bigco type environments.

If you are not clinically obese, and that's great, no, your PCP will not provide that type of advice. They're not there to help you with subclinical concerns with weight. There are plenty of dietitians out there who can.

yeah. If you are losing weight unintentionally, docs will care a lot and will run tests. Otherwise, being overweight, not so much. Weight loss is a bigger concern than weight gain from the perspective of doctors.
