Compatibility is much less of an issue these days. My son apparently plays Android games on Windows in an emulator. I'm sure the same thing is possible on Linux. I plan to finally switch to gaming on Linux, because Linux support for games is much better than it was in the past, and even games that don't officially work in Linux, in practice often still do due to Steam Linux support. Even if you didn't buy the game on Steam, I've been told.

So I hope to soon join that 1.5%, and with the direction Windows seems to be going, I expect a lot more people will do the same.
It's always been like this in GPU space - all reviews have always mentioned number of compute units (be it SMS or "cuda cores"), and the total available for the given architecture is also known. A lot can be told about relative performance of two cards based on that, so this information is useful not only to the investors.
I presume this statement from May 25 is still valid:

>the GC has to scan parts of the heap

Hmm, for generation GCs, it should use Card marking, the pointers in the tenured gen should have means to be trivially determined where they belong to. With 64bit pointers, there is space for quite a lot of metadata, incl. the Class (or most commonly allocated/used classes).
Some jurisdictions are going to start mandating this for large car parks. The transition is definitely going to be very uneven; the closer you are to the centre of a big city with an air quality problem, the sooner it will arrive.

Long form video, Twitter blue at the very least, which seems like more than Twitter managed to do per year before then with 4x the manpower.

Many of those things you listed are what people who have been in the institutionalized employees find important, essentially process for its own sake.

Before the layoffs Twitter had about 7500 employees, while SpaceX at 12000 builds frickin' rockets, have rocket launches every week, designing and building the next level launch platform that will revolutionize space travel, all the while revolutionizing satellite internet. Musk knows a thing or two about what smart, focused people are capable of.
I wonder how many of those batteries are islanding-capable systems installed when people got cut off or hugely overcharged in the previous (winter) power crisis?

You'll maybe be pleased to know that I've already had this as a coding interview at a couple of high frequency trading FPGA interviews. I didn't do well at all in the first interview. Second time I got asked it I laughed, because I had spent a weekend down a rabbit hole, programming one on an old Cyclone V. Basically just a load of counters and state-machines. It's something like this:

"Dude", there is no doubt that LLMs can generate code, and there is also no doubt that they can't generate correct code reliably and in fact they are extremely inaccurate. We know this because OpenAI, DeepMind, Salesforce (I kid you not) and others have tested their systems and though the measures of performance they use are arbitrary and designed to make them look better than they are (like the n@k measure which just lets the LLM guess any number of times) they still score very badly. See the results I quote in the above comment.

So I have no doubt you are literally, right now, using some LLM to do stuff, I just have no doubt that it is not doing what you think it does.

You say you're an engineer? I know that means you write code, but the first thing that's drilled into engineers in training and in work is that you don't just make a thing and call it a day, you make sure to understand the properties of the thing you built and what it can do, and what it can't. Like you don't just put some planks on stilts and say "here's a bridge, come and drive your cars over it". You sit down and do the maths and decide what loads the bridge can take (and you optimally do this before building the bridge). So have you done anything like that? Do you have any way whatsoever to tell how often your system works and how often it shits itself?

Now you mention it, despite the two respective national stereotypes, the only airports where I can remember seeing machine guns on the security team were one of the London airports.

It very much is on all those axes, even if it does have some hightech/liberal urban centres.

In re: other points, much of the "energy capital" is due to its long history of oil and gas extraction, and the disconnected grid is arguably a bug rather than a feature. Even if they don't want to maintain grid sync, a HVDC link east and/or west would be of significant benefit to cost and stability.
This is delusional. Hydrogen is a fundamentally superior technology compared to BEVs. Tesla is the facing the next big crisis when the limitations of battery reveal itself. Batteries are simply not a sustainable technology. It is Tesla that is being disruption by innovation, not Toyota.
Even if everything was just written in java we’d be better off than the current system of embedding chrome into a python instance and then running a webserver in javascript to render a document.
Thanks for pointers. I'm afraid, that's a bit wrong direction. I'm talking about spec-first development. This project generates spec from sources.

Also missing: an "about us" page. You'd think that this is irrelevant but before I commit myself to changing my company's workflow over to a new piece of software, I want to know about the people behind it.

I want to know:

- are they in the EU?

- are they from a stable country?

- what's the time zone difference?

- How many people they employ

- Whether they're owned by a larger, more established
company

- What their other/past products are

- How long they've been in business

- etc...
On why, or on whether. I personally find Google Search to be pretty great, and recently switched back from DuckDuckGo which I had been using for ~4 years, because I found I was having to use !g in half my searches. It's also noticeable faster. When I'm looking for an answer, I find Google much more likely to give me the answer. So I'm not convinced that search quality is declining. I'd love to see a deep dive on whether it actually is declining.

Disclaimer: I work at Google, but not on anything to do with search, and used DDG for my first year here out of habit. I have no inside info on search.

Arnold Sommerfeld was supposedly a great educator and a likeable teacher.

From Wikipedia: “ He invited collaboration from them, and their ideas often influenced his own views in physics. He entertained them in his home and met with them in cafes before and after seminars and colloquia. Sommerfeld owned an alpine ski hut to which students were often invited for discussions of physics as demanding as the sport.” [1]

Four of his doctoral and three of his post-doctoral students went on to become Nobel prize winners. That’s a lot of Nobel prize winners.

>> Why did Perl never maintain its popularity?

It is usually installed by default on most Unix and Linux systems. It also rides along with most MinGW-based toolkits like Git for Windows. If you do software development, there is a good chance you might have Perl installed and not even know it.

Some people like to make fun of it despite its wide-spread use and utility. Most of them probably know little to nothing about Perl and have not written or maintained any Perl code. There is a good chance that they are using Perl code without knowing it.

No harm, no foul, because, what, it says "Hacker" in the title? I don't know, are we 12?

The reason that hacking is even a thing: It's actually possible to break things in a responsible, non-destructive way (in contrast to most things in the physical world).

If we skip the responsible part, we are just... breaking things and incurring costs. Why should that be okay?
Yeah there are a few exceptions (some people also just import them) but we have avoided the worst of it so far. Anyone who has driven in the US knows that the average car size way larger.
BigDL-LLM: running LLM on your laptop using INT4
BigDL-LLM is a library for running LLM (language language model) on your local laptop using INT4 with very low latency on CPU. (It is built on top of the excellent work of llama.cpp, gptq, bitsandbytes, etc., and supports any Hugging Face Transformers model).
I'm also curious to try. Is there maybe a way to earn such codes for testing and providing feedback?

Because PHP (heavily inspired by Perl, but not as well thought out) came with all the glue to directly use it to generate web pages. Then came Ruby (also inspired by Perl, but with a more mainstream syntax, and nicer in some ways), and Ruby on Rails conquered that space even more. Also, Python came along which is indeed a bit more suitable for larger projects needing structure.

Meanwhile, Perl was being badmouthed by people who couldn't handle its flexibility and thought it was unreadable and unmaintainable. But that wasn't the main issue, after all PHP was worse in those two respects, yet it flourished.

Just an asumption here. But could it be the fault of the web rather than Google's?

Could it be that the web itself is being so flooded with SEO-ed crap content that even Google can't sort through it all?
Assuming there's not a line of cars waiting.
Indeed. Even disregarding all the legal and moral issues, just the mental image of trying to use this crap to simply park the car is hilarious. Imagine trying to swipe your credit card holding it with a flimsy stick perpendicular to the contact pad. Or trying to insert a paper parking ticket upon exiting parking in the tiny slot two meters far. Or getting a paper package from a drive-thru with easily a kilogram of food and drinks. Clown show. :)

Detecting and Handling Flaky Tests in Playwright
I'm surprised that a lot of users here are telling OP that he was wrong. OP was well within his rights to do this, as his intention was to stop when any impact is observed, not continue with it. It is within their rights to test the system they want to use to make sure their requirements are met.

To be honest, this is why companies also should not discourage this. Imagine if a malicious group did it with multiple users at the same time. At least now they will have pro active alarms for it.
That's ironic, because as a fullstack developer, I don't want to touch Go exactly because of it's lacking type system and how it manages dependencies.

Typescript has the best type system among modern mainstream languages, and although you're right that Node is not well suited for CPU intensive applications, the most part of backend work is IO bound, where async/await works perfectly — waiting for reply from the bd looks and works much more natural than with Go's primitives.
So this might not work for you, but I will tell you my path anyway.

1. Was one of the first members of the #ai slack channel inviting some people I had in person conversations about AI with.

2. I posted _a lot_ in there. Stuff about regulatory updates, people using co-pilot, cool github repos, little demo projects I was working on.

3. Now this was pure luck and probably the best thing to push me over the boundary, there was a hackathon. I thought "Hmm if I make a kick ass demo showcasing generative AI here, a lot of high up people will see it" - that 100% happened, CTO reached out to me saying demo was great and that people will be in touch.

4. I started really digging in to how I could provide value to our existing data team - be that code, deploying things, bringing some of my engineering know how to that team. This point the #ai channel really started to grow and the head of data and engineering started talking to me and directing people my way based on what they saw at the hackathon.

5. Did a demo of my hack in the company all hands which the CEO was MC'ing.

6. Started having fortnightly 1 to 1s with head of data at this point

7. Floated idea of team taking a little subset of good and motivated people from other teams for a short time to investigate and implement LLMs in some small way into our apps. That team has now grown to effectively investigate any and all use cases (internal and external) for generative AI.

8. I started reading more theory and also following a bit of a road map for things I should learn to have a better picture of how to actually bring LLMs in some form to production (fine-tuning, vector dbs, functions, guard rails).

9. Now I am just building some quick feature in the mobile app to show case the value of the team to exec as quick as I can, which should give us few months cover to work on the thing I am really interested in - multi-arm bandit LLM that uses our existing models.

This was pretty much it. Seems trivial, but in between each points was lots of reading, tinkering, working on weekends, but its totally possible. The ML + AI focused PhD's in your company likely need help from engineering but don't know it - bringing those two groups together quickly shows how you can be useful.

"An autonomous robot cleaning the dishes on its own in an unfamiliar kitchen without breaking anything"

" I think if we don't solve general intelligence first, we should be able to get there in three to four years"

Very unlikely. I mean you can build something that roughly does that already today, but it will break things and/or it will be so slow it is unusable.
Also you have to take savety into account. The robot may not wash the cat or the kid and not accidently break them. But the level of required autonomy for the task requires a machine that can be dangerous. And the recent rise of LLMs really don't help with reliable doing tasks in an unfamiliar environment.

Making cars drive save everywhere is an equally hard target and despite all the investment, I don't see us getting there anywhere soon. And there is not the investment in making robot dishwashers, because we have common dishwashers, that do require manual labour, but they work. A humanoid robot on the other hand, that can put the dishes into the dishwasher, but requires some learning, this might be possible in a few years.
Can you link to the Tom's hardware article? That would be amazing price.
You've inadvertently made me feel better about purchasing an ICE car last year. I'd been having some regrets that I hadn't worked harder to find an EV (or at least a plug-in hybrid) that met my other requirements.

Since I don't commute to work, and usually take transit or walk for local trips, the bulk of my driving is longer trips. Range anxiety would kill me in an EV.

I do think there are some cases where it makes sense to at least choose the features of a car with some minority-trips in mind. For example, I drive to a snowy, mountainous region 2-3 times a year. I decided to buy an AWD car (sedan, as I dislike driving larger vehicles like SUVs). With the trips I've made since then, the added cost between the AWD and non-AWD versions of my car has already been covered by the savings in not having to rent a vehicle with AWD.

Tangential, but I was also offered an EV when I rented a car last week (after flying across the country), but I had no idea what the charging situation would be at my destination, so I turned it down and got an ICE car. Turned out to be the right call, as there were no charging facilities where I was going.

Hair removal is about esthetics, and has nothing to do with hygiene. Hairs in many cases help keep disease at bay and thus are more hygienic. A person mentioned ticks - the common way to miss a tick is to have one on your head, where it's difficult to see from all the hair, but I don't think many people, especially not women, shave their heads because of good hygiene.

You should of course feel free to remove hair if that's your preference, but it's not to be confused with good hygiene.
I think the other problem was that Perl 6 came out and was totally incompatible with previous versions. Python did something similar with 2->3 and it caused huge problems.
