It's the other way around in my opinion. If you learn something like vim/i3/cli tools it's relevant for future projects.

It's not a wrong answer, anymore than writing down ⅓ as 0.333, multiplying that by 3, and discovering that the result is 0.999 and not 1.

And there's nothing in vectorization that requires floating-point numbers; it's just that the algorithms that tend to demand the most out of a computer tend to be large numerical algorithms, which use floating-point.

I was in Bali during COVID, got there a Oct 2019 and stayed for two years in total. The reasons for this are very much economical: COVID was pretty brutal for a lot of people who make their living off tourism, as you mentioned.

For many locals it's very much a love-hate relationship. They love the money it brings in and hate pretty much everything else. As soon as you complain about anything – no matter how justified – there's a very real chance you'll be told to fuck off to your own country.

And to be honest I don't blame them either. There really are a whole bunch of right twats in Bali and even I got pretty tired of it quickly. For example the number of white people not wearing a mask in stores etc. was just staggering.
To me, "Open Source" means an OSI-approved license, and "Free Software" means a FSF-approved license. Any redefinition of these (quite strange) terms means that somebody is trying to make money piggybacking off of the goodwill that FOSS has generated.

If your source is available, tell people that your source is available. If you're not going to charge for your software, call it "free software" if you want to confuse people, say it's available for free if you don't. Otherwise I'm going to start selling apples that are 30% plastic as organic.
I'm surprised we still don't have a standard way of setting birthdate on browsers or OS. If we had, then setting could be given (and locked) by parents..
Where I think the American system breaks down is that the value of teams is in the branding and the exclusive status. Just being in the league means the franchise is worth single digit billion dollars, and that floor will hold no matter how long a team is bad.

It can't happen because that floor is useful to the owners, I imagine if by some miracle it did the NFL would split into two leagues. There's a bunch of non NFL football that could also fit into that lower tier, arena, cfl, fcf.

The NCAA is the other force keeping this from happening. The Sooners saturate the need for an Oklahoma football team, there doesn't need to be a second or third tier team there. But it'd be more interesting and competitive if these leagues were integrated together.

I also would hope promotion/relegation would help with the tanking that's so noticable in the NHL and NBA but don't know enough about drafting/recruiting in European football (and there's probably much simpler solutions there)
I own land in this general vicinity, and part of the purchase process that the title insurance company covered when I bought it was ensuring that not only was I really purchasing what I thought I was purchasing, but that access to the land was guaranteed: I and all the plots around me have easements where a quasi-government entity guarantees roads that connect my plot to county roads, then state highways, then interstate highways.

I would say that if land was purchased that completely blocked off access to public land without such easements, somebody screwed up royally with regard to such easements. Not sure if that's what actually happened with the land in question?

edit: actually reading an article linked within the one linked here: "This is a murky legal area, due in part to the failure of Congress to ensure access to landlocked federal public lands". So yeah, someone screwed up royally and it was Congress.
This is an awesome project. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this kind of transparency is maybe the only path I see towards a less-insane American healthcare system

Indeed, it's an odd move, because they've gone all in on mixed reality which must have pushed the cost up considerably, but left out the one piece of hardware that was actually essential for their "metaverse" vision to really succeed. That means it'll be years now before there's even a viable piece of hardware for it.

It honestly feels like Zuckerberg is chasing Apple here (which is a weird thing to say when Apple hasn't even released anything). He doesn't want to lose the race to true AR. But at the same time they have absolutely failed to release anything at all compelling in the mixed reality space for the Quest Pro. It all feels very unfocused / uncoordinated.

I think they would have been far better off dropping mixed reality, putting basic eye tracking in and selling it at $399.

Interesting; when you define a function (or anything) in a breakloop, does it get saved to source? (or is there an option to?)

I have gotten that quite a few times now and it does seem to be new. In my case though, it acted as if it would change something, but then didn't, and got stuck in a loop.
I got it enough times that it seemed to happen more often when the output needed to be quite long, so I had assumed (could be wrong) that when the output was nearing a certain limit, they had implemented something that would start a new output, such that the interaction of "please continue the script" would not be necessary.

Unfortunately though, it would start over with the script completely, and then get stuck in a loop until it broke, this not being able to even save the response at all.

Something definitely feels like it changed, but I suppose it could just be more use of the system.

Another possibility is related to some strange issues with hardware and balancing etc, despite not changing software or params. It's strange, and it shouldn't happen, but sometimes things change from simple batching and balancing, or lower level hardware related things, which are very annoying to debug.

Not really relevant to our problem tbh. At our scale (b2b) the answer seems to be there's a big trend away from places owning their own IP and using partnerships instead. Which is a problem when your competitive advantage is closely linked to owning your own IP, as it's hard to get external partners to advise you well in a way that's going to get the dev team and the execs aligned. However there have been many attempts to kill our code over the years, all of which has been unsuccessful to date because someone's got to route around the horrors of the ERP and the rest of the enterprise stack.
Open Source is quite a strange term, and the only reason one would use it to refer to something other than an OSI-approved license is to intentionally cause confusion for users.
> But you have to hold the ID in the spot for NFC scanning for a solid minute, including while you type the PIN.

And I did. I have tried all kinds of ID <> phone positions (I also looked up where exactly the NFC chip is in my phone) and always made sure not to move ID at all while scanning it.

I have even tried it on other phones, and I also asked several friends. No one has been able to use the app successfully.
When Python was originally designed disk space was precious, and access to the Internet was rare, and its dependency management was designed for that world. Its multiple retrofitted package managers never fully fixed it.

However, better integrated package managers can work well. In case of Node.js and Cargo, the main argument against them is that it's too easy to add dependencies.
Too bad, this didn’t help either as it seems. Thanks for trying!

Edit: ha, it has made it to page 2 now. Good luck!
This looks like a curious case, non-fixed-length vectorization code in RISC-V:

> "Perhaps the most interesting part of the open RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) is the vector extension (RISC-V "V"). In contrast to the average single-instruction multipe-data (SIMD) instruction set, RISC-V vector instructions are vector length agnostic (VLA). Thus, a RISC-V "V" CPU is flexible in choosing a vector register size while RISC-V "V" binary code is portable between different CPU implementations."

This brings to mind one of my favorite TV shows, One Outs. It's about the strategies that a clever and "unsportsmanlike" player brings to a baseball team, exploiting the rules while violating the spirit of the game.

As one example: in order for a baseball game to be considered valid, both teams must play 5 innings. If the weather is bad and teams are unable to continue due to rain, a <5 inning game is considered invalid and scheduled for a later date. If one team is behind and knows there's a high chance of rain later in the day, the pitcher can begin drawing out the length of innings by intentionally giving up hits. (After all, it doesn't matter how many runs he gives up if the game is canceled.) This, in turn, gives the opposite incentive to the opposing team's offense, who wants their runners to be declared "out" so that the inning can end faster. There's a real-time rules-gaming arms race as both teams test the bounds of what's legally permissible, driven by incentives that lead to a very unusual game of baseball.
I think of EBM as "where stronger evidence exists it trumps expert opinion" (almost all of the time). In other words, go down the hierarchy[0].

> I worked with physicians who would examine and talk with a patient and tell me that something is not right and to do more extensive tests which would end up unearthing a hidden infection or other problem that we were able to treat before it caused major problems.

Accordingly I don't view this as discordant with an evidence based medicine practice as you're not practicing in an area with clinical-trial evidence (and notably, expert opinion is evidence albeit weak). If you told me you did routine urinalysis and blood cultures on all your admissions I would view that as discordant and incorrect practice, regardless if expert dinosaur feels it saves lives in their experience.

I also view EBM as opposed to "science-based medicine". Just because something has a (theoretical) scientific basis it does not meet the standard to enter my routine practice, I need stronger evidence for that which notably does not have to be in the form of a RCT as you suggest[0].

> How to apply the results of the large study to the individual patient in front of you is still more of an art than a science.

Frankly, the practice of medicine is more art than science and EBM is a guiding principle that keeps us grounded to measurable outcomes.

They're not wrong answers, they're floating-point answers. What's wrong is the assumption that infinite precision will fit in a handful of bytes.
What do you mean by learning auto vectorization? Do you mean learning how to structure your code so that your compiler of choice has a good chance of pulling it off?
I get entirely what you mean, I just consider it naive utopianism. Dreams without any plan are just delusions.

The system is going to continue on, for the near future at least. If you've got some plan to fix 'the current shitshow', do that, _while making the best out of the current shitshow_.

You say you are refusing to eat dog shit. You're not. You're just letting society decide which shit you eat, without putting your vote in. The better, or worse, of two evils is still going to be elected. You're still going to be part of that system unless you're entirely off grid and self sufficient.
There’s traceable.ai, for one (not affiliated, but testing it). I’d say none of traditional ML products are very good, at all (at least among the ones available publicly). Most of them are just snake oil. But I’d err on the side of plausibility that LLMs might finally add fuel to that, at least on the pentesting side (might, not yet will).

Additionally, even OpenAI’s own advertisement “paper” acknowledges they couldn’t make it work for pentesting well (hence probably why they created this bounty program, among other reasons).

Person A tells Persons B and C that they're under a grave threat if they step outside and must stay indoors. B and C then observe A strolling around outside without a care in the world. B says, "A is a hypocrite, and they must have been lying to me! I'm not going to follow their edicts" and resumes living life outside as normal. C says, "A is a hypocrite! They're behaving just like that degenerate B and refusing to take this deadly threat seriously!"

I was thinking that if the CEO needs to show who is responsible, they would make sure their auditing and retention/archiving practices are in good order and tested and accountability would improve all-round. But yeah, there's always complexities that make things difficult... Still, you're paid tens or hundreds of millions, it should come with some risk.
for many practical applications where we compute things, the input data isn't fully accurate, it's an estimate with significant error or uncertainty. when we consider how the outputs of computations are used, in many cases it isn't useful for outputs to be arbitrarily precise. maybe the output is used to make a decision and the expected cost or benefit decision won't significantly change even if the output is wrong by 1%, for example.

one person's "wrong" is another person's approximation. by reducing accuracy we can often get very large performance improvements. good engineering makes an appropriate tradeoff.

there's even more scope for this kind of thing inside some numerical algorithms where having a "pretty good" guess gives a massive speed boost, but the algorithm can be iterated to find quite precise answers even if the "pretty good" guess is an approximation that's off by 20%

there's yet more scope for this if we consider if we're trying to mathematically model reality -- even if we perform all the math with arbitrary precision calculations, the theoretical model itself is still an approximation of reality, there's some error there. there's limited value in solving a model exactly, as there's always some approximation error between the model and reality.

it's amazing we have such good support for high-performance scientific quality ieee floating point math everywhere in commodity hardware. it's a great tool to have in the toolbelt

> Vectorization is a process by which floating-point computations in scientific code are compiled into special instructions that execute elementary operations (+,-,*, etc.) or functions (exp, cos, etc.) in parallel on fixed-size vector arrays.

I guess this is a scientific computing course or something but I feel like even so it’s important to point out that most processors have many vector instructions that operate on integers, bitfields, characters, and the like. The fundamental premise of “do a thing on a bunch of data at once” isn’t limited to just floating point operations.
Viewing the source code does not give you much rights. In most cases it probably wont even give you the right to view the source code, because if you do not have the right to compile and run the code yourself, it is quite possible and actually likely that the person giving you the source code will not give you the correct source code.

So if that is the acceptable term for open source it does not mean much. It seems to me that historically the meaning of open source implies much more than being able to view the code. It implies the right to compile the code, to run the compiled code, to make changes, etc.

There are tough problems at every layer of the stack. Granted, the problems look very different, but they’re no less challenging. I think that is one of the great things about being a software developer - wherever you look, there are interesting things to explore. I studied assembly some 20+ years ago and have barely seen it since, though I’ve worked on a lot of complex technical problems since then.

Terrible headline. As the author himself pointed out, this has been discussed by politicians for decades. There just hasn't been a privacy acceptable method. Especially when you can vote without ID. It's just that more recently it's becoming more common to call for real ID checks to access the internet. Didn't the UK introduce a porn block so you have to ask your internet provider to access it..?
Given that OnX makes its money off of facilitating access to recreational land, this report was surprisingly fair in describing land-owner concerns.

I am pretty strongly for access to public land, but even I could appreciate the concerns re: bad apples being encouraged by this particular case. That is, if you already have an issue with people illegally accessing your land, then opening the door for more people to attempt to access public land by passing through some mathematically precise point in space does in fact invite people who aren't so careful to cross near the corner. I've seen enough braided trails and "no motorized vehicle" signs busted and mashed into tire tracks to believe that concern. And the reality is that all it takes to do irreparable harm is 1 bad actor, because they can do so much damage.

All of that said, I think it's vitally important that western states do something to make it impossible to sue a trespasser for whatever loss of value you perceive when the public land you thought you locked up remains public.

I can see suing a trespasser for the cost of reclaiming a social trail that they happened to get caught on. But I cannot see suing a trespasser for 25% of the value of a $31M real estate transaction, because it turned out that a bogus legal theory about "owning" land that's not actually in the deed is, in fact, bogus. If the landowner can make a compelling case that the previous owner, or the facilitating real estate agents, convinced the new owner of that bogus theory, then sure, sue them for the lost "value". But not the guys who went out of their way to avoid causing any real (in the legal sense) damage.
Reminds me of when IT reported to Supply Chain in a company I was at. For some strange reason supporting supply chain systems and initiatives made up 60% of our work…
> To me, "Open Source" means an OSI-approved license, and "Free Software" means a FSF-approved license.

I mostly agree, although I don't think they have to use the official licenses to qualify for the terms. Your license does have to adhere to the underlying principles those official licenses are built on, though!

And this is where things fall down a bit, because too many people don't understand that these terms have very specific meanings and end up misusing them.
