I'm not competitive at all, I'll walk away from anything that even looks like a competition. If you want to prove you're better than me, go find someone else to distract, whatever, I'll give it you you, you're so much better, here, now go pat yourself on the shoulder.

Yet, I care deeply about performance. Maybe I can't write code that's more performant that yours, I don't know, I don't care about being comparatively worse or better than someone.

But I care about writing fast code, and I enjoy cooperate with people who care, too.
>At risk of defending JJ Abrams, hadn't Leonard Nimoy already submerged the Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) back in 1986 when he directed Star Trek IV?

Huh? No, where did you get that crazy idea?

There was no Enterprise in the movie, because it was destroyed in the previous movie. The crew used a Klingon bird of prey to go back in time, and they didn't go underwater, they built a tank inside the ship and beamed some whales (and water) into it.

>On reentry the dynamic stresses on the hulls of those ships would be insane to the point of absurdity.

And how does that compare to the stresses on ships that can (in most sci-fi) accelerate to a significant fraction of lightspeed very quickly, or perform extreme maneuvers during space battles?

Even in Star Trek, they recognized that inertia and structural forces would be a big problem with the plot, so they "invented" the "inertial dampers" and the "SIF": structural integrity field, which somehow manages to make the ship strong enough to handle crazy forces well beyond the strengths of the materials it's made from.
The only reasons those are reliable is that they have millions of hours of runtime, so that the easier bugs have all been fixed now.

If anything, they have become successful in spite of C.

The thing preventing others from coming in is the power asymmetry that's an inherent property of capitalism associated with the wealth of the company and their command of the market.

Loosening "regulations" in a way that allows them to consolidate more power doesn't actually get to the goals.

They're propaganda moves to allow the dominant companies to gobble up the market or offload their costs.

These were done, for example, in media and music to ostensibly "increase freedom" but in practice it just consolidated things into fewer hands than ever before.

You don't win the market through naive stupid competition like some price cutting moron. They don't actually work that way.

The problem are in the incentives and fundamental structure, not in the existence of laws or governance.

Libertarian economics is what got us here through 45 years of Chicago and Virginia school policies, not some solution we haven't tried that'll get us out. It is the problem.
i hope they are fine just a bit lost,

The Techempower benchmarks has the answer:

Rust is by far, better than anything else out there.

Django is at 3,2%.
Spring at 20%.
PHP at 20%.
Rust at 99%.
JavaScript is at 100% but they're cheating.
Chat UI/UX is a tool for experts.
To drive this point home consider a user prompting "produce a founder agreement document", for which the AI will happily produce -something-.
Even thought he user is able to read the document he does not understand the contents in "legal" terms.
In contrast if the user would go to an expert lawyer, who would start by asking the user some relevant questions (=domain questions) and put together a prompt tailored to the needs and circumstances of the user in the domain language, with all relevant nuances..

I am working to create this experience by augmenting the AI interaction with step-by-step leading questions and interaction UI, similar to how users would interact with a domain expert.

Managing a fleet of computers, efficiently and easily
I think it’s much more interesting that the user can write “brah” and the model can interpret that as “you are continuing to make the same mistake and it’s dumb” and then follow suit with a weird role play of trying to hack itself.
I had that feeling once when I was driving and saw a bus full of school children on the other road. It reminded me of when I was at their age and wondering how amazing it must feel for all those strange people in the little cars to have the freedom to go wherever they want.

I think MS Teams gets a bad rap that is doesn't deserve. I don't know if the experience has improved or something - maybe Teams used to be worse and people are reacting to how it used to be?

I've also been using MS Loop a lot and it's pretty great actually. It's clearly still under development and missing a lot of features but leaving that aside, I don't think it's fair to dismiss it as a Notion clone. It's far simpler than Notion and for writing things like company handbooks that's a good thing, actually. Sometimes simpler is better. If you need all the tables as database stuff, then use Notion. If you need a simple and clean documentation source, well I've tried a lot of these kinds of apps over the years and Loop is shaping up to be one of the better ones IMO.

I say this grudgingly, BTW. I strongly resisted choosing MS for our business. But as a small company in Vietnam we get an amazing value proposition from MS 365 that isn't even close to matched by anything else. We pay about $3.50 per user and we get Teams, video conferencing, office apps, Loop, Visio, Whiteboard, SharePoint (ok that one is genuinely quite bad), and also a load of business automation stuff in the form of Workflows that I'm still exploring. Oh and Shift scheduling. OneNote. About a hundred other things that I forget right now.

Even still I resisted but the final straw was that automatic translation is included in Teams for free. As a bilingual team that's vital for us.

By contrast, just Notion would be $8 per user. I think Slack is $6 per user. Not a lot for a western tech company, but we genuinely can't afford that. MS 365 wins by being "just good enough" at _loads_ of things, and way cheaper than the competition.
On the plus side, with trains, locals in the areas of between stops are spared of tourists!
If you read the parent comment as being an example of treating people as "second-class citizens" I'd suggest you need a hard look at your own biases.

It is getting increasingly tiresome to have some people who prefer remote behaving as if the world revolves around them. It isn't enough that they get to work remote, they also need to have everyone and everything else change so that there own lifestyles choice doesn't lead to any downsides for them.
Smoking crack /= using your own software.

In fact i would recommend every dev to use their own stuff, "dogfooding" helps a lot to improve the product.

The very definition of a quality product is one that the user is happy with.

If the user doesn't notice the door gaps, then it isn't a quality issue. If the user doesn't drive the car enough to wear out the suboptimal gearbox, then it isn't a quality issue.

Yes, this means that the definition of quality depends on the needs of the user.
data objects have to be dumb, the managers don't.

both C# and Java can be used in a sane way, but ... at what cost, right!? C# is tied too much to the regular MS circus, and it's just a few more years and Java will finally be great! oh wait.

of course, actual, real-world walking-talking problems can be solved in both of these ecosystems, but ... almost always the real constraints are not the actual language. (... trying to do HFT with a JIT-less language, or some other faux pas)

I'm not the person you asked and I don't have any particular knowledge of postgres internals.

Experience with other systems has taught me that in a system that's been in active use and development for decades, entanglement will be deep, subtle, and pervasive. If this isn't true of postgres then it's an absolute freak anomaly of a codebase. It is that in other ways, so it's possible.

But the article mentions there being thousands of global variables. And Tom Lane himself says he considers it untenable for exactly this reason. That's a very good reason to think that it will require that many changes imo.
Yes, fair point, imperialism's jobhas always been to protect and extend capitalism.
No, the crew remains at 1 atm and the hull bears the pressure difference. Ocean pressure at the Titanic’s depth is over 400 atm (6000 psi!) but the oxygen level in normal air becomes toxic even at lower pressures. Technical divers use nitrox mixes, and the hyperbaric chamber record is 70 atm for a couple hours by breathing 0.5% oxygen and 99.5% hydrogen. (This mix can’t even explode, not enough oxidizer.)
> Overall, we observed evidence of an association between genetically-instrumented daytime napping and larger total brain volume, but no evidence of an association between habitual daytime napping and hippocampal volume, reaction time or visual memory.

Yeah, this is big brain time.

Does this mean that if you take too many naps your brain will eventually inflate so much it'll start pressing onto the skull and give you headaches, or just that people with larger brain volume seem to have more of a tendency to nap?
I moderated a subreddit that went from 50k to 200k subscribers and a lot of automation makes it easier to handle standard spam, but 5-6 mods still spent a few hours every day to make it work. This doesn't show up in any sorting.

That's why I left.
Though it was put up for sale at $59M in 2013, but it seems the family had a change of heart:

“He loves the ranch and his family loves the ranch. He raised his kids there,” Clark said. “But they all moved on to other interests and he wants others to enjoy it now.”

What a wonderful ending. I wish more wealth people would do similarly.
Ah, the Ourobous Language Problem.
What other "known behaviours" are there that must be going on in private groups then?

It's not surprising maybe, but it's reasonable to expect people to be appalled. Psychologically healthy people don't, I think, spend much time thinking about all the things which would disgust them but are undoubtedly occuring all the time in the world around them.
What's the point of sharing a license that will selfdestruct anyway? What's the difference if it existed before selfdestruction or not?

Interestingly, each hit of Reddit drama like this does seem to be genuinely driving real migrations elsewhere - the ex-mod's corresponding post about this on KBin (https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/59559/Removed-as-mod...) now has more votes than this Reddit post, despite it being #1 in the obviously topical ModCoord subreddit, and on the front page of HN.

Not a perfect comparison in any sense obviously, and this doesn't refute any of the limitations & issues with Lemmy/KBin, but there is real traffic starting to move over there regardless.
That's main Haskell strength: there often is a library in Haskell for what is language feature in other languages.

While HP created Mythos its much bigger than the individual and its views.

Do you ever wonder why some classes print useful information, while others just return 0x0000000103f70c98?
For me, traveling by train vs solo road trip are completely incomparable. I don’t feel as engaged on the train and much of my time is spent trying to pass by the time faster rather than just taking in the scenery. By contrast, driving solo by car is almost magical. You can go detour where you’d like, drive around to find the best vantage point, stop when and for how long you want. The engagement and focus I have when driving a car or piloting an airplane is totally different than being a passive participant in someone else’s adventure.

I would say that taking a train, flying in as plane as a passenger, or any other form of mass transport is always going to be destination oriented, driving yourself lets you make it about the journey as much or as little as you want.
Completely agree, did it in a few countries and truly enjoyed the freedom of stopping anywhere I wanted, wherever I encountered beautiful surroundings, and staying as long as I wanted, not to forget enjoying the place on my own rather than among a busload of fellow travelers.

Must say though that the Swiss certainly make this much easier to do with their excellent public transport and the Swiss Pass, which is your single ticket to go almost anywhere in the country including trains, buses, subway, boats and even cable cars! In the few cases its not included, you get a discounted rate. However parts of the country are so lovely that hiking through them is the only way to truly appreciate their beauty!
Maybe this is a dumb question, but for something to be reachable - i.e. not marked / swept by a garbage collector - doesn't it need a reference in the active scope? Weak references exist specifically to allow event handlers to be dereferenced at lazy intervals, but that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is, if the above function returned a database connection to the Nodejs main loop, which stuffed it into a pool array of connections, wouldn't that still remain in scope for the remainder of the program unless it were explicitly deleted?
Or - also cool - enjoying the solitude whilst driving along the road that the autobahn/motorway/highway replaced because you managed your time so as not to have to hurry to your destination.
And at the same time, reddit has the balls to advertise itself as s great place to build a community for your product or company. How can anyone trust them not to take over your community when they feel like it?
The system lets you iterate, but you don't have to iterate to arrive at the result you want. Is that really so hard to understand?

There is no magic "paint the picture I want" button in Photoshop. There is a magic button in AI tools. This magic button does in one request what would take dozens or hundreds of commands without the magic button.
Thanks for sharing. Looks very promising.

I take it that asking things about the repository with gpt3.5-turbo-16k is not possible without adding each file separately?

Just to test I generated ctags for my smallish Rust project and noticed it comes to around 10k tokens according to https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer.

I don't have GPT-4 API access yet but it appears it would get quite expensive with the 32k context.
I made a smooth shadows generator
At a previous job I worked on a web-based file sharing app, and to share individual files we used a generic share icon from the font awesome project with appropriate labels.

We got a bug report from someone in the company that the share icon was missing, and after investigating we saw the other icons (for edit and delete) were visible but not sharing. Long story short, they used an adblocker with a setting to block social media sharing links (Facebook likes, Twitter follows, etc) and it was also removing our icon.

In this instance, maybe it'd be fine to turn it off for localhost and keep it on for staging but still...
That's a nice routine, but the alarm going off sounds to me like pulling out the power cable while the hard drive is defragmenting or while the OS is applying updates.
Definitely agree. For software development I always end up rotating my monitors to portrait. You are always going to have more lines in a file than will fit on a landscape 16:9 screen. A taller screen gives you a much better "view" of the context of the code.

And with window title bars, tabs, url bars, bookmarks, headings and sub headings the first jira issue appears more than halfway down the screen

Display technology is not the limiting factor in resolution viability - remember that driving pixels is expensive for the whole system. A 4k at 120Hz panel takes a ~30Gb/s of data to drive. For an 8k display, this is ~120Gb/s.

That's a lot data, for which content needs to be continuously rendered, read from VRAM and sent over a link during scanout and finally processed by a fast enough display controller to update the pixels. High-end systems can do this, but for the resolutions to become the norm you need to be able to do this from a low-power media boxes and entry-level laptops. Only then will such displays become the norm and prices go down.
Does enough users attention migrate to alternatives so those alternatives can build the minimum critical mass to survive longer term?
> You're making it personal, when it's business, not personal.

Spez made it personal, saying that Apollo's developer was extorting Reddit while it was absolutely untrue. This is not business, this is being a dick. It became personal when slander comes into play from the CEO...

> Maybe reddit will buy the app that people like so they can monetize it

Reddit did that with Alien Blue and... Killed the app, simple as that, they bought it with the promise they would integrate the experience that made people prefer Alien Blue to their official app and it didn't happen, Reddit simply killed it. Why do you think they would purchase yet-another-client? You're entering baseless speculation territory.

> Reddit is not forcing apps to shutdown. They are asking them to pay market value for the data

If Reddit wasn't forcing apps to shutdown they would give more than 30 days notice for a massive API change, I know that, I work with public APIs at my employer, serving 10s to 100s of millions of MAU through our API. If there is any change about pricing, formats, anything that would affect our 3rd party integrations we need to prepare with ample time to allow them to migrate.

If Reddit was really trying to monetise their API they'd discuss with the current large users of this API what the path forward looks like, enter into negotiations, Reddit wouldn't want to lose this value that already exists there. What they did is nothing like that, they gave 3rd party developers 30 days notice and after that you can be on the hook for US$ 20 million/year if you are a large enough app... This is not capitalism, this is killing apps because they don't know how to monetise it (or they know and it will take very long for this to show up in their IPO metrics and they want these metrics right now). There are a gazillion ideas on how to actually make those apps become another revenue stream, none of the good ideas include "30 days notice and after that you're on the hook for a massive usage bill".

> Reddit data is a commodity whose price is set by buyers and sellers. If your business depends on the price of a commodity being under a certain price and that price goes up and your business fails, that sounds like capitalism to me. Reddit has discovered that the value of their data has gone up with the arrival of AI and are asking people to pay accordingly. If you go out of business then you are among the first casualties of AI, , with many to follow. It's time to rethink your business model.

This is only true if AI is getting data through APIs, AI is getting data from the public web, from scraping, there are multiple datasources of scraped websites, you can even create your own scraper and go your merry way collecting Reddit's data. It does not explain the pay-to-play move, if I want Reddit's data I don't need their API, it's a website open to the public...

And I'm telling you that because I'm involved with initiatives around that at my employer, the only way that API limiting works against AI is if your data is not available generally in the web (like Facebook's).
Why bother with the micromanagement? "Computer, waste time commenting on Hacker News for three hours."
Personally, 500 nits full screen white at 3m away is enough to hurt my eyes. I’m grateful OLEDs exceed that only for very small areas and briefly.

Also, no amount of screen brightness can make dark scenes visible in a bright room. You have to make the room darker anyway, so why bother with a brighter screen?
The problem is that we don't all have the same sleep schedules, which makes sense so the tribe would naturally have some people awake at all times to watch for predators. This doesn't mesh with our modern world where everyone needs to conform to the majority's work schedule. Trying to find a universal inherent schedule that everyone can follow to the letter is fundamentally based on wrong assumptions.

An often overlooked gem of AVX-512 is its (optional) conflict detection instructions. Using these enables vectorizing gather-modify-scatter operations that may alias at the element/lane level. Algorithms that have irregular data-level parallelism (DLP) as opposed to perfect or embarrassingly parallel DLP can now take advantage of the SIMD registers/FUs.

https://upcommons.upc.edu/bitstream/handle/2117/77204/VSR%20... shows how radix sort can be vectorized much more efficiently using these types of instructions.
Lock them up. What the hell. Can someone with a background in psychology please explain why the hell there are people interested in this? Is this clinical sadism? I don’t see how we, or they, are given an evolutionary advantage by being like this. Is it a result of upbringing/life? This is horrible. (I’m aware there’s a literal genocide of chickens and pigs and cows daily but at least there’s a purpose other than deriving pleasure from another’s suffering.)
