Same applies to thousands of them, the "close everything" time just happens later in that case. I usually clean them up once Firefox starts slowing down, which is at tens of thousands.

With a good UI the unused ones just don't bother you anymore anyway until you scroll or filter them. They show me my train of thoughts without having to consciously organize anything. Unused tabs get unloaded from RAM anyway, so the cost of keeping them open is minimal.

A few years ago there was a version of Firefox that didn't slow down and opened quickly even at tens of thousands of tabs, but unfortunately it quickly regressed, so throwing everything out periodically is still inevitable:)
LLMs are not reasoning systems. That's one of the major problems with them.
It's a false sense of security. At a $bigCo, your entire division might disappear tomorrow because the Board wants to cut costs.

A shift in perspective might help: instead of tying "stability" to time at a particular company, think of it in overall employment terms, and in that sense things can be extremely stable even if you work at a lot of different companies.
Yeah builders should understand the domain they're building for as well as humanly possible. On the topic of chairs, imagine the difference between a chair built by someone who has never sat in one, and someone who is absolutely passionate about sitting in chairs and is looking to build the perfect most comfortable one. It's actually deranged that such a large portion of the software industry has built up an insane game of telephone between the builders and the users and convinced people that it's an essential practice for success.
Sideberry FTW. Sideberry tab panels FTWW.

Except for the annoying interaction (I think) with "open new tabs next to current tab", which causes Sideberry to somehow leave behind lots of stupid empty tabs named after the page the real new tab had. I deal with it, but it's annoying.

Colonies were always irrelevant to metropolitan standards of living. See how Norway, Sweden and Denmark with tiny or non-existent empires did as well as Britain, or how Germany and Austria-Hungary were no less wealthy than France. Developing makes a country rich. Looting a non-developed country is a one time thing. Developing is ongoing.
In my case, the open tabs are longer reads I mean to come back to read properly, except a new shiny opens and I never seem to get to them.

There’s a reason that folks who are all about “equity” and “centering black voices” are silent about the fact that black people overwhelmingly support school vouchers: https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/new-survey-shows-black-pa.... Many of the issues the “equity” folks talk about recieve far less support from black people, including racial preferences in admissions and hiring (which the majority of black people oppose) and even the notion that government has a special duty to help the social and economic status of black people (which is 50/50) or even the idea that the government has an obligation to racially integrate schools (which is also 50/50).[1]

Three points.

First, some laws probably don't have any positive impact.

Second, there's a difference between accurately summarizing trial results and extrapolating that to the impact of a new law. If there was a death penalty for not wearing masks, perhaps compliance would be better than in the trials and an effect would be shown. This doesn't mean that the trial analysis is wrong, you just can't draw a conclusion about the law from the trial data.

Third, laws have multiple purposes including Justice and Punishment. Some murderers might have zero chance of re-offending but we still want to punish them as a matter of Justice, not because it makes Society safer.
>multiple Go executable can not share libraries as easily as how c/c++ uses the shared lib

https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Build_modes

you can actually build with shared libraries :)

I think most people I've seen use go, only use a single application, or have it turned into a docker container; so for them this is pointless but just fyi.

I personally dislike static linking but I see why it was used so heavily with go.
You can get a centered (no numpad) keyboard, and it has a second fan for the GPU; so I expect it would be quite comfortable. The only issue left is weight (4.6-5.3lbs), which seems to be the heavier side of average.
Thank you for this article.

I'm a beginner to programming language implementation and design but here's what I learned. But what I want to do this with this comment I want to encourage you to start work on your programming language and just "Do Something©", Anything! You might have always dreamed to create a programming language. You can indeed try that! Have faith that you can do something, even if it's simple or incomplete, at least you learned something and got another skill.

I don't want to be trapped by the idea that building your own programming language is impossibly difficult and that it will never be used so what's the point.

It's so worthwhile.

You can still do something! Effort doesn't have to be wasted! Go and try write a simple virtual machine: it's just a for loop over instructions that manipulate memory. I wrote a non-bytecode compiler, which just uses List<String> for instructions and HashMap<String, String> for instruction arguments.

Andreas Kling built a browser and operating system and Terry Davis built an operating system. They encourage that someone can in fact learn a lot and do a lot.

I don't want to endlessy design things OR only write implementations. I think you can write lots of ideas down AND spend time implementing things and getting your keyboard busy.

EDIT: What I mean by this is that I want to get something end-to-end working, it doesn't have to be finished on the first attempt! As long as something goes through the entire compiler. I think many projects start on lexing and parsing and try perfect that and then never get to code generation or interpretation.

I wrote this incomplete JIT compiler in C which has a simple nondesigned frontend that resembles Javascript. ANF is my intermediate representation.

https://github.com/samsquire/compiler

I wrote a multithreaded imaginary assembly language that sends integers between threads through mailboxes but nowhere near LMAX Disruptor performance.

I think you should avoid spending too much time on your parser or lexer, use the Kaledeiscope LLVM tutorial to learn how to write recursive descent parsers and move onto code generation. I did mine with switch statements. The more you actually write parsers the easier it gets, but at first when you have no clue, you CAN just read someone else's implementation of it. Understand it, then write your own to your own design. if you get Analysis paralysis and worry about making a mistake or unoptimal decision and that prevents you from doing something suboptimal but actually do something.

I rushed through my compiler to get to the code generation step because my goal was code generation.

My dream: parallel and concurrent language that combines threads and coroutines with efficient interthread communication similar to LMAX Disruptor and allows writing of efficient pipelines that are serialisable like Temporal.io.
In the 1970s, I worked a couple of summers on landscape crews for the Colorado Highway Department. The second summer they shifted us from 8 to 4:30 to 6 to 2:30. The dry heat in Colorado really wasn't that bad then, even with long jeans, a reflective vest, and a hardhat. Still, I didn't mind going home, cleaning up, and napping before dinner.
ok now I am confused, as Meta themselves say Palm-2 is better than Llama 2?

> Llama 2 70B results are on par or better than PaLM (540B) (Chowdhery et al.,
2022) on almost all benchmarks. There is still a large gap in performance between Llama 2 70B and GPT-4 and PaLM-2-L.

https://scontent.fsyd7-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.2365-6/10000000...

If Google's publically available model is better Llama 2 already then why is it so inconceivable that they'd have private models that are better than their public ones which are better than LLama already.

Palm-2 isn't better than GPT-4 but the convo was about better than Llama models no?

> What are your criteria for a richer country then?

Uh... Having more money?

Country A is richer than Country B if and only if Country A has more money. Country B may have a great QOL, low obesity, low inequality, etc etc. But its not richer unless it has more money. That's kinda what the word means.
Please elaborate on your equivocation. On first glance, you're comparing apples and oranges, and it doesn't make much sense.
I consider use of the "errcheck" linter mandatory for a professional Go programmer, and honestly even the hobbiest really ought to be using it.

Yeah, it might be nice if it were integrated into the language but on the overall cost/benefits analysis of my actual costs & benefits rather than merely aesthetic ones, this one doesn't actually factor very high for me because using errcheck is easy. And I supplement all languages I use seriously with aftermarket checkers so it isn't like this is special pleading for Go, either. I don't trust any language out of the box any more.
One of the purposes of public education is also assimilating children into the shared values of society. In the US this has been forgotten despite guys like Jefferson talking about this exact thing.

The free market can be good at optimizing for certain outcomes, but I don't think you're going to get a lot of buy in with the current political climate being what it is, and a lack of consensus around what kind of outcomes should be required.

Furthermore, making schooling a purely financial transaction? Where do you think that leads?

I use Simple Tab Groups in addition to Tree Style Tabs. Simple Tab Groups allows you to show tabs from only one group.

So, I have groups for casual browsing, work, volunteer work, etc. So I don't have to close tabs when switching from one to the other. I just switch and those tabs are still there when I want to next look at them.
It probably needs to be said because of situations like that in Baltimore, Maryland. The city spends more than 97% of what other major school districts spend, and yet it's students are on average some of the worst performers: https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/baltimore-ci...

I worked from home 100% from Feb 2020 through October 2021 - so roughly 1.5 years.

For me

- work life balance suffered. I would often be found running back to my office to shoot out a quick email and then be found there working 1 hour later.

- Work life balance suffered. I would no longer enjoy after hours lab stuff/HAM/games/music/tinkering in my office at home because the office was also where i did paid work. So it became exhausting even going in there.

- office politics suffered. Which, running my infra/ops team, meant things got harder. It was harder for me to prevent shit from rolling downhill as some pushy rando would just directly bludgeon people on Teams etc.. People were generally more dickish and demanding (outside of my control in MANY cases).

- Office politics suffered - in person meetings and all staffs and such are times where little things can get communicated. Saying hi to this person or whatnot or just seeing them reminded you that you need to reach out later etc. All zoom meetings and the like suffer from this. And for some it becomes de-humanizing

- Work life balance suffered. Family expected me to immediately transition from work mode to home mode, i had little time for myself to decompress at the END of the day. I tried walking, including at the end of and begging of the day, but that was always seen as overrideable by many.

- Work life balance suffered. Many started working random hours and would ping me in those times. Setting boundaries helped a little but I got more after hours calls in that 1.5 years than I did int he 5 years prior, or the 1.5 since coming back.

- Work life balance suffered. Wife would expect chores and errands to be run while working. When at the office I spend those ebb times working on non-critical stuff, not laundry or market runs.

- Managing folks and project became harder. My rockstars did great, even excelled and many have opted to stay fully remote (and I still feel like this is a large swath of people here on HN, supremely motivated and enjoy their job etc). But my average folks had productivity tank. I ended up playing babysitter for some especially bad employees. Literally had folks not so secretly going fishing without taking the time off, only to be found out when fires started and they couldnt respond etc.

- Burnout increased across the team, including with some of my best. Partially because of the above.

Ultimately i returned to the office, and drug a few along with me. Its helped in almost all of the above. I still work a more hybrid setup, sometimes leaving at lunch and working the afternoons from home etc. But mostly its in office.

Yeah—but part of the reason for this is because we aren't capable of addressing the actual causes of educational inequality (among other forms...) which have very little to do with schools. Instead we focus on schools and ask them to do the impossible. The results are, predictably, absurd, and harmful to other worthy goals schools ought to have, because the only way to make serious progress is by faking it one way or another, or just getting lucky.

But this is far cheaper than actually fixing our entrenched poverty problems, screwed-up justice system, and terrible social safety net, and school reform programs are easy and often fairly popular (as opposed to what we actually need to do, which is guaranteed to be controversial and probably end up sabotaged no matter which plausible set of solutions one proposes) plus the real solutions would take many years to yield results, which is far too long for our political cycle—so we keep trying, then act surprised and/or outraged when the results are very stupid, when we've set things up such that we're basically asking for stupid results.
I don't completely disagree with you, but where's the incentive for a government to give you vouchers to spend on non-governmental education, directly taking away funding from the schools the same government is responsible for managing?

If it was a different pool of money, I get it, but -- speaking specifically about the Bay Area -- one of the reasons public schools have suffered is because of attrition toward parochial & private options. When school attendance shrinks, so does funding, which creates a downward spiral of performance in many cases. And it isn't even that all the private options are superior, but because public school funding is dependent on attendance, they detract from the capability & capacity many of these schools have to deliver high quality education. I'm sure it isn't unique, but I've never lived in a place that had such a high proportion of kids in parochial & private schools, and it absolutely does harm the public schools. Compare this to somewhere like Massachusetts, which is equally progressive, treats teachers equally well (better), and has much higher performing public schools -- largely because fewer families with means to pay for private actually do, and those kids & households further support the teachers and administration of their neighborhood schools.

You can easily transmit information hidden in web requests.
If I own a web server at somedomain.com I can run code that asks for somedomain.com/someencryptedinformation.html, and I'm sure that someencryptedinformation will appear in the server logs. Automate encoding something in that string and you can send data using simple web requests that won't trigger anything looking for connections on non standard ports. And what if connecting to domain A followed by B within 2 seconds is translated as a 0 and the other way around as a 1? You can, albeit slowly, send whatever you want just by alternating those two connections. Yes, just contacting the outside is sending information.

Well, I want zero crawlers to access my content, so that seems pretty sustainable?

To whom? For me 'nothing' works? I do not want your crawler to access my content for any reason whatsoever. That's not too hard, is it? I block your UA, I block your IP range, done, right?

How does one apply for a job with the the internal A16Z teams experimenting with this?

I agree that I don't like early/insider stuff

That said - I believe Llama 2 is architecturally identical to the previous one and given that they are using 13B it is probably just a drag and drop bin replacement and reload your servers.

We all knew Llama 2 was coming so it might be within the capabilities of a hungry startup with no early access.

I have to apologize, I misread the context of "people whining..", which was in fact about those that don't even use the language. If this was not intended to be aggressive, sorry.

Funny though that I did get triggered by it. Out of the Go community I've heard way too often "you don't really need xyz", when they mean "we're not going to support xyz, here's why, and if you disagree, we respectfully ask you to look elsewhere".
