> I can't wait for software that will take my notes each day and fine tune a LLM model on them so I can use entire context length for my question/answers

Problem is finetuning does not work that way. Finetuning is useful when you want to teach a model about a certain pattern, not when you want it output it right. Eg: With enough finetuning and prompts, a model will be able to output the result in a certain format that you need, but it does not guarantee that it would not be hallucination prone. The best way to minimize hallucination is still embedding based retrieval passed along with the question/prompt.

In future, there can be a system where you can build a knowledge base for LLMs, and tell it to access that for any knowledge, and finetune it for the patterns you want the output in.

Obviously this is an article about why you shouldn't be a manager, so it doesn't have any reasons why you should be a manager or why management is important.

CSS used to have many little corners. It doesn't these days.

What it has is an excess of features, that may be hard to recall. But large language models are surprisingly good at bridging this gap when you need a hand in writing a snippet for a given layout.

I suspect people waste more time learning Tailwind than they would write plain CSS. And by "plain CSS" I do not exclude tools like SCSS/SASS/LESS, whose utility is confirmed by the fact CSS itself is adopting some of their features and syntax (variables, nesting).

Imagine CSS adopting some of Tailwind's syntax, though... Wow. Sorry for the disturbing mental image.
because there's no need to do that. Most cryptocurrencies meet the Howey test which is used to judge if something is a security. It needs to require investment, be a common enterprise, and the expectation of profits.

Most cryptocurrencies are just token offering schemes that meet those criteria, a few like Bitcoin can make the case they're not securities. the crypto 'industry' wants a new asset class to avoid scrutiny, don't see much reason to give them one.

> it's on you to show it works.

If you just want excuses not to change your lifestyle and effect political change, both of which are required, no amount of "showing" will ever convince you of anything. Do you enjoy saying: "I'm not convinced this will work, so screw everyone, I'm not helping (and thus actively preventing a solution)"?

The solution is to stop burning fossil fuels and this will happen one way or another. Maybe it happens through international cooperation following political initiatives, maybe it happens once civilization collapses across the globe.

I have a strong preference for the first scenario. The vibe I get from you (maybe by mistake?) is that you just don't care very much. The way how to get there is abundantly clear. It just sounds so inconvenient. So, you ask, can't we just blame someone else and hope it won't be that bad after all? That kind of thinking has never solved any problem. Predicting the future to say "this won't work anyway" is incredible arrogance. Noone knows what will happen. People have abolished slavery and monarchies before.

The original statement:

I wonder if the "central personality" aspect is the key. Even the promise of massive wealth and clout has failed to unmask Satoshi, so it's largely seen as a self-managing system. There's no real figurehead you can say is responsible for it or able to steer it for personal gain at this point.

The primary input of software is labour - i.e. time spent working. We stand on mountains of open source work that makes the job much faster and cheaper.

This labour cost is certainly also factored into costs in many other industries. The difference with software is that, largely speaking, the TCO goes way down if you only consider the software (and infrastructure) itself. Cloud infrastructure costs can get pricey but salaries will always be more expensive. So it makes sense to view things this way in software land when selling your time - and thus also how you view purchases that affect how you spend your time.

When an uncertain economic climate is marked by inflation and financial challenges, the intersection of technology and finance becomes more crucial than ever. Fintech can drive productivity gains and enable individuals and enterprises to thrive during a recession.

According to McKinsey & Co, the fintech industry raised over $90 billion in the first three quarters of 2021, almost double the amount raised in 2020. This staggering growth signifies fintech companies' significant role in shaping the financial landscape worldwide. As a result, attending conferences and events has become essential for networking.

To help you navigate the wealth of upcoming fintech events in 2023, we have curated a list of essential conferences and gatherings you won't want to miss. These events offer diverse opportunities to learn, network, and stay updated on the latest trends and innovations in financial technology.

The core reasoning task for datalog engines is materialization, the evaluation of a datalog program over a database alongside its physical incorporation into the database itself. The de-facto method of computing it, is through the recursive application of inference rules. Due to it being a costly operation, it is a must for datalog engines to provide incremental materialization, that is, to adjust the computation to new data, instead of restarting from scratch. One of the major caveats, is that deleting data is notoriously more involved than adding, since one has to take into account all possible data that has been entailed from what is being deleted. Differential Dataflow is a computational model that provides efficient incremental maintenance, notoriously with equal performance between additions and deletions, and work distribution, of iterative dataflows. In this paper we investigate the performance of materialization with three reference datalog implementations, out of which one is built on top of a lightweight relational engine, and the two others are differential-dataflow and non-differential versions of the same rewrite algorithm, with the same optimizations.

Fwiw, it's possible to sync to Ethereum in a few hours now. The features to enable that were added in 2021, before the merge.

If you want to sync an archive node instead, which contains all historical transactions verified from the beginning, that takes about a day and a half, but current work will bring that down to a few hours as well.

It used to take nearly 2 months, and the state was smaller then, so this is an interesting technical achievement because it's just the same data represented more efficiently.
Pretty sure it’s a “people discuss musical genres” thing. I used to get mildly annoyed with my friends - who were all in to music more than me - when they were discussing which bands were in which genres. In the end each of their little (sub)genres had just a couple of bands each.

This experiment design feels pretty useless to me.

Bad experiment, IMO. This is not a remotely useful approximation of what happens when you are actually wearing and using the clothing.

It's more of a simulation of what happens when you accidentally leave wet sweaty clothes in your gym bag, or are forced to wear sweaty clothes for multiple consecutive days without a wash. (It certainly be nice to have fabrics that could survive such conditions without stinking, I admit)

When actually wearing synthetic "moisture-wicking" fibers, I find they stay much fresher smelling as long as they are exposed to air so that they can actually do their job by encouraging evaporative cooling. As opposed to cotton, which soaks up gallons of sweat and takes ages to fully dry.

Remember, fresh sweat doesn't reek -- that's why you don't smell bad in a sauna, with fresh sweat pouring out of every pore. It's stale sweat that reeks. Specifically, it is the waste products of bacteria living in stale sweat. That is what eventually smells bad.

- take risks, and people will blame the project for being reckless.

E.G:

- don't adopt a new feature, and your language is old, becoming irrelevant, and a wave of comments will tell you how they just can't use it for X because they don't have it.

- break compat, and you will have a horde stating you don't care about users that need stability. You got one comment in this thread talking about "the python treadmill"!

And all that for an open source project most don't contribute to and never paid a dime for.

Of course. Afaik there are no numbers we could use to estimate the effect on GDP of such redistribution.

We could indeed hypothesize that GDP would increase due to poorer people having more to spend. On the other hand, in this scenario the successful business owners no longer earn outsized reward for their risk, so perhaps entrepreneurship and innovation is stumped.

I would consider the following optimizations first before attempting to rewrite an HTTP API since you already did the hard part:

1. For multiples processes use `gunicorn` [1]. Runs your app across multiple processes without you having to touch your code much. It's the same as having the n instances of the same backend app where n being the number of CPU cores you're willing to throw at it. One backend process per core, full isolation.

2. For multiple threads use `gunicorn` + `gevent` workers [2]. Provides multiprocessing + multithreaded functionality out of the box if you have IO intensive. It's not perfect but works very well in some situations.

3. Lastly, if CPU is where you have a bottleneck, that means you have some memory to spare (even if it's not much). Throw some LRU cache or cachetools [3] over functions that return the same result or functions that do expensive I/O.
