This advice does appear to be coming from someone who writes webpages using roff... The core argument simply seems to be that markdown lacks sufficient structure to build "documents," which I agree is absolutely true and essentially part of the design.

IMO Markdown isn't intended to structure documents; it's intended to enhance plain text. If you find yourself constantly tweking at whitespace or special characters to provoke your markdown to behave, or if you are using so many features of md that you have to keep a reference handy, maybe you ought to use something different.

As an aside, I have used Front Matter (essentially a YAML header on markdown) for cases when a bit of structure or metadata is needed alongside a blob of text, and I think it strikes a great balance between writability and structure.

Markdown tables need to die in a fire though; what a wreck.

What is the difference between code you've written that you use from project to project and a framework?

If it is just about the knowledge then wouldn't it be valid to just gain that same knowledge about a framework?
Victor is also an extremely narrow font. The author of the font motivates it as means to squeeze more code per line. Not only it would make longer lines more tolerable, but also for short lines it reduces the eye movement needed to scan the line.

However, I personally find the narrowness more tiring for the eyes to the point that it is even more distracting than the cursive.
>> the government could simply tax those with wealth more...Like most western countries do

Not sure where you're getting your data, but, looking at Europe as a proxy for "western countries" not including the US, in 1990, 12 countries in Europe had a wealth tax, while, as of 2019, only 3 did. Weather taxes were generally considered a failure.

That's awesome. May I ask, for pre-ISBN books, do you typically look up books by title? What do you do with books when you find them? What is your primary use case / reason? Is it as a reference library (of things to read)? Keeping track of reading?
Markdown isn't a good markup language compared to LaTeX. I wouldn't typeset a paper with it. However, I wouldn't write my notes or a blog with LaTeX.
In its current form, it was adopted by the right.

For my money, I've yet to get a coherent answer as to why a simple ask regarding common courtesy ("don't be a dick to people who aren't like you") is a bad thing. People immediately shoot off on tangents about freedom of speech, and "Cultural Marxism" (lol) and what-have-you.

> The solution is to end higher ed carve-outs in federal grant awards. Let anyone qualified apply for and receive NSF funds. Stop tying tax dollars to university affiliation.

I think this is infinitely better than the current system of just giving money to scientists.

And it's a step in the right direction towards eliminating government funding for science altogether.
WhatsApp rose to prominence because data was cheaper than SMS. Is that still the case in Latin America? In Australia there are no mobile plans with metered SMS charges anymore.
Exploring the new minimal API source generator
part 4 in series
"the new minimal API source generator introduced to support AOT workloads."
tl;dr - AI researchers have never had to undergo code review, deal with continuous integration, or manage expectations of inexperienced users of their software.

Which is just far too true, and remains true outside of VC-backed scenarios like huggingface, but only because their playbook explicitly optimizes for this.

On the other hand, it’s a great time to be a seasoned software engineer who can help with these sorts of issues. If you’re trying to level up your machine learning experience - consider a strategy like this:

Pick a random lucidrains repository.
Try to get it running on your setup. It probably won’t. (No offense Phil! You’re doing God’s work and can’t cover every possible configuration).
Fix the issue.
Write a test for it.
Setup basic CI for the test.
Try to get the PR merged!
It's a decent article, but sort of weird that the takeaway was "don't do two jobs at once" instead of "don't create a lab organization in which falsifying data is okay."

I can see how the two are related, but emphasizing the one on top of the other seems a like the author may be missing the point.
Because the article makes it sound like your application code will be smaller because you don't need to ship the change detection library/framework.
But in a big enough application, the explicit change detection code added by the compiler adds up to more lines of code than most frameworks.
I agree. Of course there is no 'single factor' for almost anything.

So, going with the themes of attention seeking hyperbole, I would say the 'single biggest factor', is the ability to find and keep skilled developers in any of these top 10 frameworks. The differences mean nothing when the bigger picture is considered.
But that's not what I'm saying - I'm saying conversation drains me even if I'm with someone I'm comfortable with. I'm tired when it's over. My wife is not. She comes home excited.
Notepad.exe does plain text. Markdown adds all kinds of extra.

So, utterly incomprehensible. I’ll stick to Markdown, thanks!
Reminds me of the point made by Ted Chiang that (roughly, from memory) when people express fear of technology, quite often what they really fear is capitalism and how it will use the technology.

This goes back all the way to the Luddites, who weren't actually anti-technology/progress. They were opposed to how its benefits were captured and by whom.
You have a task. You do an infinite loop in the task. The task is now blocking lower prio tasks in the RTOS. If the task is broken, it's broken.
No, that would make it possible to create alternative instances to use if and when the main instance goes belly-up. Those alternative instances would start afresh, without the user base and lacking any content created by them. If there were more than one alternative instance the two would not communicate unless they employed some sort of federation - ActivityPub or something similar - or some mirroring scheme.

Response:

Early stage venture capital firms typically have a few non-investor roles that are critical to their operations. Here are some of the most common non-investor roles at early stage venture capital firms:

Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR): An EIR is a seasoned entrepreneur who works closely with the venture capital firm to help identify, develop, and support startups. They often provide guidance and mentorship to the startups and help them navigate the challenges of building and scaling a business.
Venture Partner: A venture partner is a seasoned professional who works closely with the venture capital firm to identify, evaluate, and invest in startups. They often have a deep understanding of the industry and market trends and can provide valuable insights to the firm.

Investment Analyst: An investment analyst is responsible for evaluating potential investments, conducting due diligence, and providing recommendations to the investment team. They often have a strong financial background and are skilled at analyzing data and identifying trends.

Marketing and Communications Manager: A marketing and communications manager is responsible for promoting the venture capital firm's brand, building relationships with the media and other stakeholders, and creating content that showcases the firm's investments and expertise.

Business Development Manager: A business development manager is responsible for identifying and pursuing new business opportunities for the venture capital firm. They often work closely with the investment team to identify potential investments and build relationships with entrepreneurs and other key stakeholders.

Portfolio Manager: A portfolio manager is responsible for managing the venture capital firm's investments and providing support to the startups in the portfolio. They often work closely with the entrepreneurs to help them navigate the challenges of building and scaling a business.

Operations Manager: An operations manager is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the venture capital firm. They often work closely with the investment team to ensure that the firm's investments are properly managed and that the firm's operations run smoothly.

These are just a few examples of the most common non-investor roles at early stage venture capital firms. Each role plays a critical function in supporting the firm's investment activities and helping to build successful startups.

The thing is that replication is inherently easy in CS. Especially now that people are expected to post code online.

Forcing authors to share raw data and code in all papers would already be a start. I don't know why top impact factor papers don't do this already.
You eventually grow out of the influence of shitty parents. It's a whole lot more difficult to escape the influence of a shitty nanny state.
If you self-host then that's easy since you can read directly from your own Postgres. We have a GraphQL API but I have to say I we didn't think much about how we could make it easier for people to export data if they don't self host (besides csv export in the app). Is an API enough or you'd expect more sophisticated connectors? You would like integrations with Fivetran, Airbytes, etc.?
On LaTeX:

> Little context sensitivity

... this is close to a disqualifyingly wrong statement.

(I literally work with Markdown on a daily basis as my actual day job. Markdown really does suck.)

The only way in which (La)TeX is not context sensitive is that it's sensitive to the entire global TeX state at all times. There's no notion of grammar in TeX, _at all_. It's hard to trust the rest of the content in there after this.
That’s seriously the glaring issue you’ve found? It’s a tutorial ffs. Have you actually done code reviews professionally?
Imagine a relationship in which one person can read the other's mind. This is the power of gods: They know our thoughts, but we don't know theirs. The only rational conclusion is total submission to their will, or to the will of their representatives. The offer of such a power, even to a severely limited extent, is appealing enough for people to part ways with their money and natural skepticism.

Can it be beneficial? A list of categories that seems authoritative and scientific but is open to interpretation can give some people a sense of comfort that they belong in their "place" within the organization, that there are other people facing similar experiences, or that they are not personally at fault. It can give a beginning manager the confidence to interact with colleagues and subordinates by means of a formula.

Can it be harmful? Sure, it opens people to manipulation and bias, or persuades them to give up their agency.
Most of the major frameworks (I'm 100% sure about Vue and React) have browser extensions that give you extremely powerful dev tools. It's not _exactly_ what you're asking for, but pretty close. You can actually click on a random thing, see which component it is, what kind of state it's holding internally etc.
> In Pocker there is a clear correlation between your actions and your results

Years ago I was okay-ish with Poker (positive net outcome after about 20k hands on pokerstars) and I'm not so sure about this.

I mean it's statistically true, and calling Poker a pure-luck game is like calling golf a pure-luck game because of wind. But to me the addictiveness of Poker is pretty "Skinner Box like" -- you can literally do nothing wrong, do the theoratically best moves, and still lose hard.

Of course if you did the same move every time in the same situation, it would eventually pay off. But if people are so reasonable addiction wouldn't be a problem in the first place?

My summary of this rant: Ivory Tower bullshit

Markdown is phenomenal. It gives end users simple and easy to remember ways to perform the most common formatting operations but leaves the text in a state that it was be parsed by humans without an actual markdown renderer.
There are two types of people -- those who like to split everything into two categories, and those who believe everything exists on a continuous spectrum.
A common fallacy is thinking that transactions exist without a human at either end of it (usually due to many layers of complexity in between).

You can talk all you want about companies selling to companies, etc., but at the end of the day everything on earth is owned by a human eventually.

Even high-frequency trades between two hedge funds are done with capital that was supplied by Limited Partners who probably are acting on behalf of pensioners.

The scenario you're describing is one of extreme wealth inequality, which is a real problem, but one that's supposed to be solvable through democratic means. Stopping technological progress isn't going to solve it.
High school's only benefit is a pseudo-forced social climate and not needing to compete for classes like you're buying concert tickets (the number of classes I was waitlisted for despite signing up the day of...).

Everything else is much worse for how I think. I don't get to choose how to time my schedule, the curriculum is mostly fixed (you would always have math/english/history, some language for 3/4 years. You only choose an elective and maybe 1 year of science) and homework tended to stack up constantly because every class was 1 hour M-F. And yea, as you mentioned it's absurd having 1 day due homework spring up when you may or may not be preparing for some other project, or test, or even competition.

You also were much more pressured against taking time to yourself. You can skip a class or take a sick day in "the real world" if you need a break or emergencies come up. those "perfect attendence" rewards were the worst grift of the education system.
Yes, at least for me it is. My pre-paid plan (~$14/mo) gets me 4GB data but only 50 SMS. I also get 3GB of free WhatsApp data. There is no prepaid plan with unlimited SMS.
Just a tinge of broken window fallacy there?
My few experiences with RH support/engineering have been universally bad. Each time they basically said, well, that won't get fixed since the fix for that behavior wasn't patched until a later feature release.

Support means fuckall when they don't care or their timelines are measured in quarters and years. It's why when someone says "oh, you are paying for support" I just laugh at them. The tens of thousands of dollars we paid per year for RHEL would have been infinitely better utilized for supporting upstream projects and their developers.
This paper rings a lot of alarm bells for me. It's rambling, written in a very odd style, and contains a lot of useless figures. Is this one of those fake paper pranks or something?
So much this. I think I must be missing something here about the context here, but even then I think it's extremely hyperbolic for the author to make the leap from "I don't like Markdown for [x]" to "Markdown is objectively bad and should never be used in any context."

Just look at some of these other examples the author lauds. I've been writing code for most of my life and I find roff's manpage to be absolutely inscrutable. I don't understand the context in which you'd need to pick between roff and Markdown, they seem like they're solving completely different problems for totally different audiences.
The point of any crackdown on gambling is to reduce revenue for what are considered to be bad actors. The size of the market might be a factor for politicians when considering how much revenue to try to reduce the industry by, but law makers continue to prove over and over again they aren't necessarily that smart once they believe their constituents are panicking about "think of the children!"

Admittedly yes, destroying an entire industry that large would be an absolute worst-case scenario you would hope politicians are smart enough to avoid, I don't think it "likely" but I do find it useful to consider how far it could go, because it happened once (to Pinball), and we shouldn't forget that.

(ETA: Keep in mind that gambling laws in the US are extremely local with sometimes even cities in the same state disagreeing, and if a panic happens you just need a few localities with dumbest politicians to pass the harshest bills, and others to copy cat it at "public demand". That's how it happened to Pinball. That's how it happens for all sorts of terrible laws in the last few years we could point to. Bad laws in a panic are viral in the worst ways.)
Depends what you mean by "whats wrong?" Conceptually, absolutely nothing. In practice, many of the folks we are talking about have been bitten by mismatched files already. Why add one more set of files to juggle?

Cost of Living in SF – $5240
Naive question, but if a winner had been found in a given niche, wouldn't there not be as much bidding competition and thus costs would go down?

Concretely: if I am the only pie baker in the world (I won), who else would bid against me for "place to buy pie"?

My unsubstantiated hypothesis is that google has gotten better at cross-promoting - so they could target people who like cake, increasing the market and competition for bids, making prices go up.
There are 'desktop' (well server) cpus with 64GB of HBM memory per socket now. And big LLMs can be run on lower memory bandwidth systems (like zen4 chips with 12x ddr5 per socket) at lower performance, but where 1-2TB of ram is no big deal.
So... excluding small users or corporate accounts that engage in rewriting shenanigans is a good thing?
Of course. So it's not really that out of the question if you are using agent forwarding, so, yeah, this is a big deal.
The company would have been dead without the Apple //e that kept it afloat for 3-5 years. The Mac didn’t become the revenue generator until 1989. It takes more than a “good product” to be a viable business.
You're probably not speaking for anybody else than yourself here, none of us are.

When people start moving away from the nanny state in sufficient numbers, the nanny state will also hinder people from escaping. Look at the Soviet Union, China, etc.

Australia did that during the covid pandemic, they literally banned citizens from leaving the country.
Because they want to price their tickets based on the value you receive, not their costs, to maximize their profit.

AA sold the ticket assuming the customer was going between two small cities, with the "inconvenience" of a layover in the middle, so thus had a low enough value to justify a low cost. A direct flight from a small city to a big city, on the other hand, is assigned a much higher value, and thus is priced much higher. This is despite the fact that the former has a higher operating cost than the latter.

Still doesn't explain why a gate agent decided to play detective and save the giant corporation employing them a bit of money on a hunch, screwing over the customer they're directly facing in the process.
I love poker, and it is definitely a skill game. It's also definitely gambling though. It just doesn't have the same addictive feedback loop that slots do.
I'm always interested to learn about the setups that people eventually find working for them. Right now, I have a MS Sculpt keyboard (which I can toss in my backpack and use at a cafe, a little bulky for travel but doable) on a regular desk, and a somewhat budget 13" 2019 Intel MBP with 16gb of ram and a touch bar; the computer sits on stand next to my Dell 30" Ultrasharp (U3011 that I bought in ~2014) and a Logitech MX Master, as well as an old gaming PC that still provides use and I swap all the peripherals over to when needed. Have never personally owned an air or any other laptop than 13" Macbook Pros of varying specs now that I think of it, but used to develop on Windows when I was starting out, and typically do any server stuff on Debian over ssh or running Docker.

There are two areas that seem like such a miss to me on current macs, one of which you mentioned; cellular connectivity. I don't know if a physical SIM slot would be necessary, but it's just ridiculous that I still need to tether. That and a lack of any other appearance than grey or silver. Let me get a damn red, forest green, or lavender Macbook Pro!

I don't particularly care for the keyboard on the laptop, but my opinion more broadly, hence the Sculpt keyboard, is that any situation where my arms come in from an angle and I have to strain my wrists toward a rectangle of keys isn't really ideal. Went through a series of other external keyboards, apple keyboards, and what tends to be my preference is the key-depth of probably your Lenovo, a manta-ray like shape, wireless, and 10-keyless size; I'd really like backlit keys and a non-proprietary dongle or better wireless and internal battery that charges over usb-c.
