the best thing about this is the presentation format

one thing thats great about this content world is that people learn how to get to the point very quickly and efficiently!

this could have easily been 1:40:03 watching some nerdy guys on a recorded google meet drone on and on about their accomplishment and I’m glad it wasnt!

As an American who spends a lot of time traveling to Japan and who had experience living there (and who has dreams of moving back there once I pay off my student loans), I’ve done this type of confession twice; it’s quite different from the ambiguity that often occurs with forming relationships in America where people don’t know exactly where they stand. While it doesn’t remove all ambiguity (does she like me? Why is she holding my arm?), I like the being able to clearly articulate my feelings, and I also like the clear understanding from both parties not to behave like a couple until we mutually agree to become a couple. I generally find this aspect of Japanese dating culture remarkably refreshing compared to America.
As someone not from the US, it’s not a surprise at all. But if someone says a foreign company is making their employees work on a holiday weekend, I don’t fault them for not explaining what specific holiday it is.
Well, that's the best part of it: the underlying physics model is really easy!

A pinhole camera requires zero additional physics, just a simulation of light rays passing through a small hole. A lens just requires Snell's Law - which is pretty much trivial. Adding dispersion is just a matter of using a formula instead of a constant for the refractive index of the lens, and doing the raytracing using random wavelengths instead of a single "composite" one.

Raytracers capable of doing this are implemented in a few hundred lines of code as a toy project. The difficult part is getting it to render quickly - and of course modeling the scene properly.
Additionally, people in this thread keep talking about legacy status like it’s an easy in. How legacy works varies by school, but at the Ivy I attended, it gave you double the chance of getting in and only if you applied early (they showed the numbers). However doubling a 7% acceptance rate to 14% still doesn’t give you great odds.

These schools turn out thousands of graduates a year with the larger ones turning out 10 thousand or so (only counting bachelors students). In any given year, there’s A LOT of students with legacy status, and, unless your last name is on a building or you are a competitive applicant regardless of your legacy status, you aren’t getting in.

Roaring bitmaps and similar data structures get their speed from decoding together consecutive groups of elements, so if you do sequential decoding or decode a large fraction of the list you get excellent performance.

EF instead excels at random skipping, so if you visit a small fraction of the list you generally get better performance. This is why it works so well for inverted indexes, as generally the queries are very selective (otherwise why do you need an index?) and if you have good intersection algorithms you can skip a large fraction of documents.

I didn't follow the rest of your comment, select is what EF is good at, every other data structure needs a lot more scanning once you land on the right chunk. With BMI2 you can also use the PDEP instruction to accelerate the final select on a 64-bit block: https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/main/folly/experiment...
I'm not claiming that rust doesn't have shadowing, just that redefining a variable in a single scope is not really what I would call shadowing.

A shadow is obscuring an object that is still very present, just hidden. That object can be seen again by changing scope.

If there's no way to get back to the original (or the only way back is through a different name), it's not a shadow, just a redefinition. That name doesn't have a shadowed copy, it just has a previous value.

Nothing wrong with redefining a variable either, it's perfectly valid. It's just different than shadowing, in my opinion.
Sure - on third party sites where Google can’t see the traffic. Do you really think YouTube refuses to share that data internally with Google’s core business?
Great article which I do recommend. Brought back memories.

My friend DJ and I both attended the summer program for highschoolers at CMU in 1981. She accepted the early admission that were were both offered (I couldn't see skipping my senior year), so she was starting her sophomore year when I started as a freshman. DJ was a woman - a very rare thing in engineering at that time. She was MechE, but my ECE class of over a hundred had just two women.

Anyway with that story background, DJ bought an IBM and I bought a Mac. They were probably the only two computers in our dorm for a while. We joked with each other about their respective pros and cons. Funny thing is that many of those same jokes and pros and cons are mentioned today.

I still have that Mac. Unmodified Mac early off that assembly line :)
Need to handle the exceptions/signals every time a disk read fails. With classic IO, you know when the read will happen. But with memory-mapped files, the exception can happen at any time you are reading from the memory range.

As for why disk reads fail, yes that's a thing. Less common on internal storage (bad sectors), but more common on removable USB devices or Network drives (especially on wifi).

Pretty irresponsible to have a headline that is contradicted by the text
> it was kind of rude to send a text to people while they are probably sleeping

Not the point of the article, but this is a personal bugbear of mine - no it wasn't. Text-based communication is asynchronous. It's rude to _expect_ that someone is present and available if you message them out of the blue (or, rather - rude to get upset if they don't immediately reply), but it's not rude to send the message in the first place. Particularly - it is never correct to send a Delayed Message on Slack "because it's the evening/weekend and I don't want to bother them". The four possible outcomes are:

* You send delayed; they could have benefitted from the information earlier (e.g. there's an outage overnight and your delayed message contained helpful information) -> your delay had a negative effect

* You send delayed; they read the message when they come online again during business hours -> your delayed message had no impact (assuming you correctly guessed their business hours)

The only situation where "sending delayed" has a positive impact is where there is a culture whereby a message _must_ be replied to at the time it's sent. In such a situation, you need to fix that broken culture rather than working around it with delay-hacks.
Indeed. Pectin is just loaded with methoxy groups, which release methanol when cooked. Yet we have people complaining about methanol from aspartame.

I have a friend with notoothia. Only in one tooth tho. And ya, it's weird looking. She got an implant. One of those titanium screws. It works but the gum is weird and the tooth is missized.

Would she switch it for a grown tooth given the option? I dunno.
> Implementation details don't really matter. The CloudFormation/CDK deployment of a lambda can include only the source code of the task you want to run. We don't know if AWS uses containers, an intern pressing enter, or purple unicorns.

I'd argue the intern pressing enter at AWS is my infrastructure.

> Not really. A lambda is your function running somewhere. Unless you explicitly create your lambdas as runnable containers instead of simply passing your handler's code, you don't know or care how are things under the hood.

I feel like you took my pragmatic explanation and obfuscated it.

> There is no magic or arcane wizardry involved.

Never said there was, I think you think that I'm more confused than I am. I run my own serverless platform, and make use of serverless platforms from other companies. I know how they work.

> then lambdas are far easier to implement and to run and to operate than modifying some server deployment to include support for a background task. In some cases, they can also be free to run.

You're trying to sell me on lambdas again. I said I already make use of serverless. I just am saying there is a time and place for them, and a time where they don't make any sense. You seem to be agreeing with me, where you placed a few qualifiers on when you should use a Lambda, so I don't know why you're framing this like we're in disagreement. Maybe you're confused as to what I actually said?

I'd say that the difference is in the ownership of the data the tool has as it does it's job. In the case of Photoshop, these are the algorithms possibly owned by Adobe and the bytes you feed it.
In the case of LLMs it is the model which was built using data with disputed ownership and the bytes you feed it.

Consider a hypothetical LLM that was trained on data having a single undisputed copywrite owner. What would be the legal status of it's output?

Piketty loves to make fun of this sort of research because the hypothesis they’re disproving has been disproven a hundred times in very simple, empirical ways. But we have to pretend we’re diligently narrowing down the culprit at the heart of wealth inequality, knocking off potential causes one by one.

Must be maddening working on a paper like this. Wealth equality is a necessary feature of our economic system yet very serious people pretend like labor can somehow pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

It’s easy to be mad at Facebook, newspapers, Pinterest, Discord, etc. for locking the internet away behind a login or paywall. But it’s also the result of Google capturing all the value from the free internet.

The end result is companies trying to capture more of that value for themselves and not letting Google eat their lunch, which required moving content and communities behind closed doors.
Probably a warning flag that notes any non-compile time bounds checked references.

Now that you mention it, some method of forcing bounds checks in more limited circumstances might be nice for performance, that or a cleaner method of expressly disabling such for areas with critical performance and where the input is considered trusted or already validated.

Grass fed beef should be an exception. I buy half a cow at a time, which isn't practical for everyone. They feed on ranch land that's untouched other than a few water tanks, with no time in a feed lot before the processor. The rancher tells me he would use antibiotics if he has to, but hasn't had to.
Doing planetary science, I used to be in the habit of searching for image IDs on google. Usually particular orbital images of the moon which had been mentioned in a paper. There are of course specific archives to search for this stuff, but google used to give surprisingly good results. Now I get literally zero results when I search an image ID. What changed? Did they remove their index of the Planetary Data System? Did they remove the indexes of planetary science papers?
I believe there's an aspect of preference to it and in my case the preference was replaced over time.

As a kid to young adult I would drink non-diet soda for the caffeine boost but switched to diet as I got older and my metabolism slowed down.

At first diet soda didn't taste as good to me but was worth it for not gaining weight, but at this point after many years of having made the switch diet sodas taste better to me and drinking real sugar cola tastes significantly worse.

Yes, it's an American thing.
My opinion: It isn't worth it to do anything (especially because you only have a common law trademark). Even if you had the federal trademark, it might not even be worth it. A trademark dispute can easily be $100K and you won't get your fees paid for unless the case is particularly egregious.

Of course, someone will tell you talk to a lawyer. Getting legal advice from a member of the legal cartel is a crapshoot. There are so many terrible lawyers out there who won't hesitate to recommend legal action for every little thing even if it has zero chance of succeeding (I am currently on the other end of that). So proceed with caution. Do your own research on common law trademark rights before you talk to a lawyer. That will help you weed out the incompetent ones.

I would keep an eye out if they file a trademark application (check TESS periodically). You'll want to oppose it. That should "only" cost you a few thousand dollars.

Different stroke for different folks. I drink Diet Coke, not because I'm on a diet, but because I grew to like the taste of it better. Regular sugar coke, and high fructose corn syrup coke, tastes cloyingly sweet to me.
Types that carry a semantic difference, not a difference on the level of technical implementation are a fascinatingly underutilized concept. I'm sure that the idea has been around forever, and implementations available as well, but it never really made the big splash that I think it should have.

I even carry a "what if" language concept in my mind (as in zero plans of implementation or anything like that, merely a thought experiment) where all names would be folded into types: in a lot of scopes you only ever have one of each. If you were to run Noah's ark you'd probably not bother remembering that you called the male penguin Frederick (or was it James?), you'd simply refer to him as the male penguin. The tools tools you'd want for dealing with all the situations where you need more than one in a scope would be just what the doctor ordered for that include semantic difference in typing thing.
I built a new PC with AMD Zen 4 CPU end of last year, after using Intel for more than 10 years before that (last AMD I used before was an Athlon in the early 2000s! Intel Core 2 made me switch back to Intel then)

I also use Linux exclusively, and play games on Steam using Proton (which works great for modern games. I do single player games though)

However, no idea why there would be a correlation between Linux Gaming and AMD: I didn't switch to AMD because of Linux but because of AVX-512.

I had no problems using Steam with the Intel CPU before that. But I find it wrong of Intel to not support AVX-512 in consumer CPUs (and having efficiency cores in my desktop PC is not something that excites me, and it's because of those that they dropped AVX-512), while AMD embraced it. If new Intel CPUs would have been simply like the i9-11900 but better (in a different way than the efficiency cores, more like faster, more performance cores, more SIMD etc...), I'd probably just have kept getting Intel ones out of habit.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm aware of this resource but it's not what I'm looking for -- for example, it recommends SICP and Berkeley's 61A lectures for learning programming.

I'm very familiar with both resources -- the former is how I learned to code, and I actually took the second class in person at Berkeley. But I have a math background, and mostly don't have math trauma anymore

This is for a person with math trauma who dropped out in middle school. The goal is to get her comfortable with the ideas and methods of CS, at least enough that she'll eventually be ready to tackle deeper resources like those one day if she wants to. I think introducing those at this stage would be overwhelming and disheartening.

I do like those resources for folks with more traditional backgrounds and preparation though

There's also some research suggesting that the proprioceptive aspect of writing has deep neurological connections to the language centers of the brain. It's unclear if typing would exercise the same connections. Children still learn to write by hand by reproducing the symbols whose meaning they've learned. Perhaps in the future we'll no longer use pencil or pen at all, but for now we have no way to really test if writing by typing is worse or better than handwriting.

Google's death is deeper than just the corpus, their ranking algorithm is also deeply degrading.

This appears to be fixed as of today but this kind of kindergarten level search intent not being fulfilled would have been unthinkable for Google even just a few years ago.

I’m playing Space Exploration right now and it is epic. But beware, a professional YouTuber Dosh Doshington who seems to be one of the best Factorio players in the world (in my opinion) took 300 hours to complete SE with some help.
I think SE is amazing but it’s an incredible time sink. I’ve gotten 3500+ hours in Factorio, I think I have a problem.

Anyway, seeing Factorio in 3D was amazing though, really cool
In the TPUv4 paper it sounded like Google search moved over to some really crude AI embedding vector stuff. If you search "book of master system" it gives only results for "book of genesis" because it mixes up the biblical book of Genesis with the Sega Master System.

Searching any programming terms, like camel-case variable names from a system library without exact quotes, just gives random results about Katy Perry and stuff now.

So let's say, you decide to create your own programming language, now you can automatically afford to do as much work as the organizations behind mainstream programming languages? Organizations with thousands of contributors, funding, etc.?

Now, let's omit that for a moment. Let's say that after having implemented your language after years of work, now for some reason you got 1 prospect user.

That person will ask you about: syntax highlighting, linting, code navigation, testing, packaging, documentation, operating systems/architecture support, etc. Who is going to contribute all that if you are busy writing everything by hand?

Unless you have as much time as Terry Davis, you are better off starting by piggybacking on something that exists. Then, once you have an idea that scales, you can convince other people to help you and have a successful project. Then you can have a viable ecosystem that people can comfortably join.
You get 100% humidity basically any time you're near a large body of water that has been hot and then the air cooled. So usually on hot days like that along the coast, as the sun goes down you'll notice lots of things just getting wet, that's due to the 100% humidity.
