This is a perfectly sane, at least from business point of view, argument. It is being treated with a tantrum of downvotes. That in turns shows a lot about the state of affairs in a certain bunch of programmers. Most importantly that they put their own narrowly defined version of excellence above the importance of maintainability and thus tangible business value.

To put it bluntly. I'd hire the downvoted guy/gal in a heartbeat but would shy away from the downvoters. Why? Because I need to deliver business value which pays for our salaries. And I need to do it today and tomorrow and in years from now.

This is a message to normal people that understand that coding is a _social_ activity that has an audience in the present (your coworkers) and in the future (poor maintainers). Not only you're not alone in this but you are the majority.

Any kind of mechanism like that requires a mental model that carries a ton of state because it is no longer immediately visible what the scope of execution is.

Continuations and the way Erlang handles this have far less mental overhead and help keeping the model and the mental representation of that model in sync. Differences between the two is where bugs will hide.

The web isn't asynchronous it's synchronous in almost every aspect the whole reason all this async stuff became so popular (at least, as far as I understand it) is because there is a mismatch between your typical process and having a large number of clients dangling off it. The solution - in my opinion - is to solve this by making it easier to have more processes, which can then block while waiting for the other side, not by adding layer upon layer of complexity to try to stick to the wrong set of tools or to shoehorn a larger problem into a box too small to contain it.

It essentially gets you all of the complexity of interrupt driven code for very little gain and without the memory protection that a process driven approach would have. This whole async solution is to offer an alternative to Node, (even if it originated elsewhere that's clearly the competition for Rust) and should have stayed there, it's an ugly wart on Rust and a distraction to boot.
It's ironic because that company promised to catch thieves who steal the bikes you bought from them.
Every time a LLM is fine-tuned it gets stupider and less capable compared to the bare model. openai's legal and social ass covering attempts to neuter their model's output via fine tuning have done the same.

She would almost certainly have early knowledge of irregularities at her own company but potentially more broadly in the sector because people talk. Trading restrictions don't really cost an employer anything so they often figure that it's easier to get rid of even the possible appearance of impropriety even if it costs some employees/their spouses money.

At the most basic level, I worked for a company that wouldn't let you sell company stock, even as a non-executive, during a window around earnings being reported.
Double the power for double the performance indicates you can use a different scheduler if you don't need performance.

Also, the CPU isn't the only powerdraw in a system, in my use the screen alone averages more power draw.

I think EVs can have beneficial second order effects. I’ll take some progress over no progress.

Thank you, I will look into this.
Pretty small out-of-sample window, but we built a trading strategy on top of congressional trading data and it's done well since we launched it last year.

You can see the backtest performance here, but the holdings and advanced metrics are behind a paywall (apologies in advance): https://www.quiverquant.com/strategies/

As others have pointed out, there is a delay between when the trades are made and when they are disclosed and our strategy is able to act on them.

However, this is somewhat countered by the fact that politicians tend to hold stocks for long periods of time.

There are definitely some examples of politicians trading a stock right before a massive market moving event, but I think they are generally looking at a longer time horizon when they are investing.
Ironically, the whole patent appears to be about the concept (how is that patentable?!). The actual treatment is “known in the art “.

Quote:
“The tendon is composed mostly of an extra-cellular collagen matrix, which is non-immunogenic. The tendon may therefore require no denaturing (decellularisation) prior to implantation into a mammal. In some embodiments, the tendon may be subjected to a decellularisation process prior to implantation. In removing the cells from the tendon, the immunogenic antibodies within the cells are also removed, thus rendering the tendon non- immunogenic. Methods of decellularisation of tendon tissue are known in the art. Such methods include…”
I watched the WWDC session with the guy from Unity, and it's pretty clear that the Vision Pro will be a fully capable VR gaming platform, with good hand tracking.

So it's an interesting choice from Apple to totally avoid the subject of VR games in its promotional material, while also partnering closely with Unity.
>Having the behavior of an LLM change over time is not acceptable.

By now this is actually funny to read. Never rely on another companies product to make your own product, without accepting things can change overnight and shut you down

I specifically chose the i7 version of the NUC 9 Extreme Kit aka Ghost Canyon, just because MBP Late 2019 has the i7-9750H (spoiler alert: they have the same CPU), so it is still pretty decent in terms of spec, but I don't get the chance to try out the new AI stuff on Apple Silicon.

Another thing though, I attached my 6600 XT ITX card into the Ghost Canyon so it can also carry out huge heavylifting of video editing, which I planned on using Final Cut Pro for such so.

Unfortunately, Apple removed the Broadcom drivers/kext in the latest public beta, the macOS Sonoma apparently raised the supported devices to 2017 and that's when Apple started to use custom built-in chip from Broadcom which can't be used as a M.2. Wifi module. Apple is fucking with most of the Hackintosh users this way and it is clear they waited for a long time.

So, until we can find a way to inject the legacy Broadcom drivers into Sonoma, the Hackintosh network connectivity situation is uncertain and dire.

Inefficient action is not necessarily better than absolutely no action. Inefficient action is a way for politicians to kick the can down the road so they can still use the issue to buy votes.

That's how you get 40+ years of abortion being legal on a technicality, rather than being properly codified into law. It's how you get "student loan forgiveness" instead of any attempt at fixing the student loan racket. It's how you get a NASA where the overall budget is constantly decreasing with the exception of the super expensive rocket no one wants.

Sure, in the moment, these were nice decisions and helped while they lasted, but overall they're simply suppressing actual solutions to focus on feelgood promises.

It was about von Neumann, but I have no idea, just something I read somewhere. As with all anecdotes about him, I take them as entertaining stories.

Another one: Von Neumann was supposed to give an address on the international mathematics congress in 1950 (I think) as the keynote speaker. He was expected to deliver similar speech as Hilbert did 50 years ago. Somehow he forgot and did not prepare much, and ended up talking about operator theory and his work in the 1930s. After the disappointed audience had listened to his address for a while, someone heckled him, he apologized and promptly left the stage.

That is blatantly false, these models only work as well as they do in the first place because of instruction fine tuning. The raw models are much harder to work with.
https://vanjs.org is another example in that direction. It illustrates that it's even possible to have a full-fledged solution of composing complex reactive DOM tree with just plain JavaScript functions.
What do you mean? According to the docs:

> In all the monospace subfamilies, 9 weights (Thin to Heavy), 2 widths (Normal and Extended), and 3 slopes (Upright, Italic and Oblique) are included.

If I set "style: Bold Italic" in my Alacritty config, the text becomes thick and slanted. Bold does only thick, italic only slanted.
With the exception of arsenic, most of these metals can be effectively immobilized as the sulfides. That's how they naturally occur, and the sulfides are so inert that early life never encountered the metal ions or adapted to them — which is probably why they are so toxic! The sulfides of lead, mercury, cadmium and copper are all very stable and insoluble.

So the solution may be quite simple: once the lake pH is adjusted to be not too acidic, pumping hydrogen sulfide into it should entrain any heavy metals in their natural form. This is a dangerous process, though, because hydrogen sulfide is an extremely toxic gas.
+1 to StoryGraph. I'm a big fan.

I had the pleasure of seeing the CEO of StoryGraph, Nadia Odunayo, at a Ruby conference a year or so ago. She was a keynote speaker and she was absolutely wonderful.

Nadia gave a presentation on encountering a Ruby bug, but presented it as a mystery story with chapters and narrative storytelling. Definitely one of the best, entertaining presentations I've seen in a long time.

I think there is a delay on stock disclosures, like they only have to disclose purchase/sale once a quarter or something which makes it hard to profitably copy their trading.
This has always been a problem it seems. Microsoft now handles grammar and spelling themselves, but originally they licensed software called CorrecText.

This article from when CorrecText originally released in the 80s, https://www.nytimes.com/1988/03/06/business/the-executive-co..., ends with discussion saying "One big problem in designing Correctext,... has been 'overflagging,' or excessive sensitivity to minor errors."

Seems like that problem still hasn't been solved...
Why would this solve the problem? They're still incentivized to make decisions on behalf of the nation in their own financial interests. The conflict of interest in the financial industry is with the companies they work with and for. For lawmakers it's with the whole country. They should absolutely not be allowed to benefit personally from legislating.

If this is ever the case, it means the server code has been written in a horribly vulnerable way and you should never use it.

Honestly, congress salaries (not considering insider trading!!!) are really low. They're lower than many software dev salaries, and they generally have to have two homes (someplace to sleep in DC at least + their home in their district).

I think if we raised salaries your sentiment could work, but good luck with that.

The customers that have their bikes in for repair should be able to get the police to return their property back to them. I don't see why bikes would suddenly change ownership just due to VanMoof's bankruptcy. If VanMoof have no claim over them and cannot respond with when the customer can retrieve their property and are preventing access for customers to retrieve them, then isn't that intentionally depriving those people of their bikes which is surely theft.

I believe the issue with this is that the font that the browser picks with “sans serif” can vary wildly depending on the user’s system, with totally different metrics, weights, etc, meaning that the page might look anywhere between passable and broken. The most egregious case of this is probably on some of the more “libre” type Linux distributions that default to that one oddly wide sans serif that I can’t remember the name of.

The idea of user configurability is nice but most users have no idea how to do that or that it’s even possible, and browsers bury these settings increasingly more deeply which doesn’t help matters either.
Which begs the question: when exactly does something become your property?

Many religions have an injunction against killing or otherwise contributing to the harm of sentient beings.
> Who is "we"?

"we" is everyone in the industry. I recognize it's more of an evolutionary thing, it's just my stance that the current environment is pushing us towards an evolutionary dead end.

> Define "quality"

I also agree that software quality is fairly subjective depending on your lense, unfortunately. For example, I wouldn't view quality as permitting as many people as possible to work at every level. Diversity of ideas is great, but I want those ideas to come from folks who have the skillset. If someone who roofs houses decides to pour foundations without gaining the proper skillset or picking up different tools I would view that as a loss of quality, not a gain.

> the term is time-to-market

I chose time-to-product fairly intentionally, because I think the benefits of something like Javascript start to rapidly decay once you start approaching any sort of product maturity. The problem is teams rarely optimize towards stability and quality until they have literally no other option
Lets not conflate a model's smartness with a model's ability to be used reliably and predictably. They're very different things. Yes, fine-tuning, for instruction, or whatever you chose, will make the models easier to work with with less going off the rails. But they'll also take a big hit on perplexity and other more robust dataset completion tests. They're objectively stupider.
At first blush a freemium model seems incompatible with framing a product as a commodity. Curious if others have seen examples of that. I’ve never seen “free unlimited bacon,” but I have seen a lot of free samples (trials).

Seems really tricky to hit the ratios of free/paid users that would make this sustainable. Maybe if free is behind an invite-only volume gate or something. In any case, good luck! The consultancy/product blended model is a cool idea.

The point is valid about performance over time changing, but using an LLM to see if a number is prime is a terrible use of the product.

Tech leads and managers can have an overlap. Tech leads code, but only have one team. Managers often have 2-5 teams and pick up project management tasks. Tech leads are not expected to work with the product manager to flesh out a business case for expanding the scope of a project to retire technical debt or sit in front of the VP of Engineering (director/senior director in a large org; small orgs have entirely different roles than this anyway) and explain why the project is slated to take three months longer than initial estimates.

There are three jobs of the tech EM - support the team (be the shit umbrella - navigate the bureaucracy), get the business a condensed version of what is going on with that part of the system, and all the other rest of the work to support a human organization that no longer has secretaries and administrators to just handle it.

In a lot of other non-tech non-knowledge worker jobs, supporting the general organization is abstracted to middle management instead, and a manager gets drawn further into task breakdown and enforcement. That's the difference.
I guess I just don't run into these issues. Maybe because I write my code to be effectively single threaded already. I almost never actually need a channel, mutex, etc, except in very specific and scoped areas.

I wonder why I haven't hit these issues despite writing web services in Rust for years.
Your spouse can definitely affect your ability to get a security clearance. Last I heard, cannabis use is still relevant to this, even if you live in a state where it's legal. Your spouse being a foreign national can also be significant, depending on which country and their connections there.

It's not really a legal obligation as such ("only" putting the job at risk), but it does cover rather a lot of jobs.

Depends on the number of employees and degree of integration. If you're a large enterprise (say >10k employees) then changing your meeting scheduling platform would readily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in employee time.

Therefore, your exiting meeting scheduling platform should charge at a commensurate amount because they can get away with it.

Interestingly, this can create a market where new adopters use competitively priced, or even FOSS, whilst at the same time enterprises pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a month for legacy alternatives. Even when the legacy product is inferior.

Given enough time, the new adopters become large enterprises and the formerly competitive/FOSS suppliers become incentivised to take advantage of the switching cost and raise prices / change licensing. This opens a market for new suppliers to the 'new' new adopters and the cycle continues.

It was a critical moment in time where it mattered greatly which country completed a certain physics centered project. Other physicists were greater in their accomplishments, but were any so timely in the necessity of their accomplishments (though his may have been mostly managerial, they needed to be done by a physicist).
