sometimes it moves the complexity up the developer's head : "are you sure you really need to do all this, and there isn't a conceptually simpler solution to your specific problem ? Think again !"

That's the real value of "simple" languages like go.
Yes we did. And that worked as intended. The alternative was to wait years and years, helplessly, while people die of covid, while it evolves to be less severe.

But that's the problem with our understanding of biology — we somehow can't just reliably predict how things would work. There's an unhealthy amount of trial and error and not much actual engineering. I mean we don't have to do "trials" when building a house or a CPU. We design these things such that we're 100% certain they'll work, and we can explain why and how.
Measured violence, yes.

In this case the guy was pointing a weapon at the police, so a killing feels justified imo.
This is a very blunt tool, but `engine.echo = True` prints all SQL going to the DB.

Thank you for explaining it. I was aware of the problem of too short context length. I'd love to be able to pass an entire programming project with my prompt for example (or a book in your example).

I think I understand how it works now for many kinds of prompts where the information to be extracted is contained in one(or more) of the chunks of much bigger whole.

I'm not sure about prompts where it is required to "understand" entire input to answer properly. For example summarising a book. Although even with this vector search could perhaps help by looking for things not near "please provide a summary", but certain hand crafted values such as "important to the plot" etc.

I guess I need to do some experimenting with It. I found some open source alternatives to (not at all)OpenAI in form of "Sentence Transformers" to create embeddings.

However, what would be really neat is to have a large open source dataset of embeddings already created on some general purpose collection of texts, to try searches etc.
You could of course argue that the "unfair advantage" is the lack of shareholders who expect the studio to squeeze every last bit of profit out of the player base, but that's neither here nor there.
That's some price. I haven't seen them under 375 GBP on eBay UK.

Nah, those edges are not natural numbers, at least not until multigraphs (whose edges can be anything, including natural numbers, though they rarely are). You might have missed the convention to write the edge {i,j} as ij.
So you can now shoot yourself in the foot with both Python and JavaScript package management?
It's the monthly fee I have a problem with. Unless the monthly fee guarantees a new pack if the battery degradation from an increased DoC, then it is good. As it currently stands, it is literally a jerk move on the company's side.
I've gone to grad school and only after a lot of years of self study afterward have I really begun to understand what science is, how it actually functions, what the fundamental ontological and epistemological commitments my field makes, etc etc etc. In my opinion graduate school allows the student to _just barely_ touch something like actual knowledge of some specific thing. I think you're just vastly over estimating the actual substance of middle school science education.

Yes, I think you’ve really got it there. The federal government is absolutely trying to orchestrate this situation for the benefit of companies. They try to keep unemployment at a sweet spot number where not too many people are living on the street, but companies have a pliable and plentiful labor pool. It’s achieved through a careful balance of monetary policy, taxes, immigration, education, and laws limiting reproductive choice. The CEO of every Fortune 500 is working towards the same in their own realms, such as all the lobbying that tech companies do on H1-b visas.

But at the same time, we also have a brutally efficient marketing and advertising discipline that taps into our emotional biology and keeps people wanting more and always looking over their shoulder at what everyone else has.

I’ve thought before that by default, most people will be pushed to work ceaselessly, barely affording everything they think they should have and saving nearly nothing. It takes a choice to and self denial to step off that treadmill and start building the wealth that can set and individual free from living off their labor.

Remote work is a huge threat because of geo-arbitrage. Clever employees can quickly get ahead of then saving curve and throw off the reigns. Hungry employees are the easiest to manage. Fat employees have the power to say no.
Yeah. You need to form a graph of pieces of information where edges are ‘X is a prerequisite for Y’ (or ‘without X, Y makes no sense’), and sort that topologically.
>Until 2020, healthcare authorities in the Western world were were certain that viruses could never remain airborne for extended periods of time.

"Healthcare authorities" are not necessarily scientists, they are professionals. Nor am I aware of them ever making this claim in the first place, at least never in any kind of coordinated way. Please provide a source.

If you're talking about masks for Covid, that was because the Trump administration bungled the mask situation so badly that we were critically short on masks[1]. It was decided that to minimize causalities, focus would be on making sure health care professionals got masks first.

The function-based approach is kind of nice because you can use defer for cleanup, and you don’t have to write an entire struct and track state via props, etc. I kind of like this proposal.

What's cumbersome about copying a couple of files and adding them to your build scripts? At least that way you have complete control over the entire update and build process, you can use the build system of your choice, and you know exactly that there are no 'surprises' lurking in your dependency tree. It also nudges you to avoid libraries that come with complex build requirements (which will always pay off long term).
tailwind css is "write-only" css. Quick to develop and throw away. Good for contract coders to write, prototype and delivery quickly while maliciously chortling at the poor sucker who has to maintain what you delivered.

I agree. the best lies are coatings around a grain of truth.

I'm which case dvcs will always be useless: this is a speed of light AND network partition issue. If you don't care about distributed vcs then the issue has been cracked for decades: the likes of TFS have file locking.

Pijul has one of the most reasonable approaches to conflicts: you solve them once. That is about as close to cracked as we can get for dvcs in this universe.
And the justification to take someone's money is that there are other poor people? This is not how you solve a problem.
use

struct {
enum type;
union { int; double; long; void\*};
}

and you don't need to box anything. no extra allocation for primary data types. no de-referencing of pointers unless the data is larger than the union size. you can pass this struct from function to function by value, as like it's an int64 or double.
Network flow optimization and its many particular cases (bipartite matching, transportation problem, nonintersecting paths) are usually defined in terms of directed graphs with arc weights. You can package the arc capacities as a matrix, but you don't do the usual matrix things with it (like multiplying matrices, Gaussian elimination, QR, SVD), except perhaps if you do your matrix algebra over the tropical semiring (but that's often graph theory by another name). So you need new methods even if you shoehorn the problems into matrix language.
Yes, there is more on this in "The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer. If I recall, it is not all of Europe that does that, but mainly Latin Europe.

This is one of the things I learned moving to the UK working at an American company. Lead with the conclusion, not the problem statement.

The style I was more used to would say: "I am late because the car got hit by a bull. I stepped out, took pictures, noticed the bull was dead and someone local came to help out. The police is underway. I am fine but will be a little later. No need to worry."
Oh my god, this should be illegal. What an environmental waste to block what hardware can do for business reasons, is there any global lobby fighting bullshit like this?
However, LIGO, VIRGO, and NANOGrav experiments and observations proved that speed of light in vacuum is NOT constant, which makes Michelsons's experiment obsolete.
Right. Science can't stand on its own. It can never be purely objective.
Those same tables could keep turning, too. Given enough time, anything can become unmaintainable and eventually fails. Airbus might just survive longer than Boeing but Airbus internal processes will likely degrade at some point as well.
OPNsense – Reflected XSS Attack (CVE-2023-39007)
"We reported found vulnerabilities to OPNsense maintainers and we really want to thank them for a great response. They handled the whole process very professionally, quickly prepared effective patches for many vulnerabilities and included them in the newest release - OPNsense 23.7 “Restless Roadrunner”. Also, they provided us with reasoning behind decision to not patch some of them right now."
I get what you're saying, but for what it's worth, trying to defend yourself against an unknown assailant breaking into your home in the middle of the night is rational. Firing a warning shot to establish a credible threat of violence if you happen to have a gun makes complete sense and probably the safest way to de-escalate what is an immediately dangerous situation. Because if the home assailant, if willing to engage in a firefight, was probably planning to just murder you anyway.

We should not consider the guy to have acted inappropriately.
Would anyone be in a position to comment on how this compares to Dask?
one of the reasons I love Go is because of its simplicity. It just works and it works well.

You can even use with without GC if your code has to be fast. I don't see what the fuss is about with other new statically typed languages.

So I oppose almost anything that will make Go less simple. Probably the only exception I would make is enums.

I don't want my brain to have to work any harder reading code.

Edit adding:

the whole point of Go is simplicity and speed. That's why it's called Go in the first place.

Let's keep it that way.
I worked at a university that offer a “PhD” in higher ed. administration. In theory I suppose nearly any field could be the valid subject of research. In practice, I saw this degree used to grant PhDs to existing administrators who didn’t already have PhDs. I’m guessing that this may be useful in gaming rankings.

This succinct style of reporting reminds me of how surgeons are taught to report on a patient (to colleagues):

1. name/age/gender
2. current problem (+ potentially relevant preexisting condition)
3. relevant clinical/laboratory findings
4. suspected cause
5. recommended actions
6. If an operation is planned: general health assessment (ASA)/allergies
7. prognosis/miscellaneous notes

As a rule of thumb, non-surgical medical professionals have a similar framework, but will report more in-depth and less focused on a singular logical path.
Using both the A53 and A52s 5G and I feel that the performance is better on the A52s5G which I'm currently using now the type this comment. I use the A52s5G s lot more.

I think the latter is better due headphone jack, speed and the option to record calls.
"In particle physics, it's fine to dissent over whether this or that fundamental force carrier may be the cause of the latest round of measurement discrepancies (analysis: because that reinforces dynamics in the field that channel funding and personnel to making new measurements and theories), but it's unfine to dissent over whether we should chuck the entirety of the theoretical edifice (depending on where you come down, you may read the preceding as "dogma") of dark energy down the drain (analysis: because, while not very explanatory, it safely does not challenge (nor threaten to challenge) everything else we are busy doing)."

Yes, but in point of fact there is a lot of dissent of all sorts in this field and very little commitment among experts to the idea that our fundamental approach (QFT) doesn't require some kind of conceptual revision. Even among people proposing major revisions (strings, lqg, etc) I've never detected any powerful suggestion on the part of most scientists that their pet theory is clearly and obviously correct and should just be accepted without evidence.

Dark Energy and Dark Matter and widely felt to be inadequate explanations but major revisions in this ontology haven't manifested in the field because no one has proposed any effective ones.

It is extremely easy in hindsight to say "this theory should have been more readily accepted," but that view ignores all the incorrect revisions which a field rejected because of due diligence and a reasonable expectation that new theories require good evidence.
I'm still not sure I follow what the gain is here? I get that it makes it possible to differentiate between an int and pointer, but why is that actually important. The compiler already has type information right? And would know whether a value is a pointer or int?
Never thought that specific data is what defines a domain.

Do you have other examples of this or a more elaborate form of explanation to this?
I am aware of the claims and the "news" sources regurgitating them. The evidence Kiwifarms is responsible for anything is remarkably shaky (lots of use of the term "has been linked to" and no real evidence for anything).
I keep getting recruiters send me messages on linked in with very vague details about the job, often omitting if its work from office or home. So I always ask, and often get "The employer offers a great flexible hybrid system" or some such nonsense. When you dig further its almost always a max of 1-2 days at home per week or in some cases per month.

One of them was incredibly persistent and I told them I was only interested in remote opportunities. Their reply - "This is remote! They allow you to work from home one day a week". Er....ok then.

Any employer enforcing ANY length of time in the office is going to lose out at this point. Thankfully my current employer has adopted a "dont care, do what you want" approach, so long as you get your work done they dont care if you're in the office, at home or abroad.
Yeah, "easy integration" is more speaking to how you get secrets from Vault/EnvKey through to an app.

Dynamic secrets generation isn't built in to EnvKey, but we do offer a CLI that makes it straightforward to generate or rotate credentials/roles as part of your deployment. Rather than baking in this kind of thing, we are more taking a 'give you simple building blocks so you can do anything' approach to automations. For your postgres example, it would look something like this:

# Set variables for an EnvKey environment that includes postgres admin creds in shell
eval $(envkey-source)

# Use the admin credentials from EnvKey to rotate credentials for app role in Postgres.
# You could also create new roles, grant privileges, etc., as needed.
NEW_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
psql -h $DB_HOST -U $DB_ADMIN_USER -d $DATABASE_NAME -c "ALTER ROLE $ROLE_NAME WITH PASSWORD '$NEW_PASSWORD';"

# Update the credentials in EnvKey for your app.
envkey set app-name production DB_PASSWORD=$NEW_PASSWORD --commit --json

Meanwhile, if you prefix your app start command like this:

envkey-source --watch -- ./run-my-app.sh

Your app process will then be automatically restarted after the `envkey set` command with the latest postgres password in its environment. If you're running multiple instances, you could also use rolling restarts to avoid downtime.

envkey-source --watch --rolling -- ./run-my-app.sh

So it's a bit more work compared to Vault for the postgres use-case, but on the other hand, with EnvKey you get a lot of flexibility to setup these kinds of automations for any service or tool.

For acting as a CA, we have some ideas on how to accomplish this that I think would be both simpler and more secure than Vault's approach, but we haven't gotten to it yet.
Looks like combination of jellyfish (shape) and insect (structure).
You do, however, double the size of your data type. A struct { enum; u64 } is going to be 128-bits vs struct { is_int: u1; int_value: u63; } at 64-bits. This can make a huge difference in performance critical code, as you double the rate of cache misses.
And probably for literary translation as well... Although I'm not so sure in the long term, in light of the progression of the GPTs.
It would be magical if we also got typescript type hints too.

That's not something you're likely to run into on consumer hardware, but with JS being used on the server I wonder if/when JS engines will need to deal with that.
As someone who believed the lab leak theory from the start, I don't ever remember it being treated as a "crazy non scientific conspiracy".

I do remember some people pushing the leak theory as if it was 100% proven and them getting called out.

I also don't have any hard evidence for the lab leak theory so I'm open to being wrong. I'm just suspicious because China hasn't been forthcoming.

I go back-and-forth in my career between being a manager and being an engineer. I find both sides rather fun for different reasons. There's a lot to unpack in your reply:

1. You're not acting in the role of an engineer. You don't know (intrinsically) what needs to be done. You just know what you want done. Engineers are probably doing shit behind your back and you'll never know except that your velocity seems slower than normal occasionally. You probably won't even have a slight clue unless you are an engineer yourself. Some hints might be when you prioritize a bug and your engineer tells you 'oh, that got fixed when we did X which seems totally unrelated to X, or just barely related'. POs understand this when the customer wants X but really needs Y. The same thing applies to you, engineers know you want X, but really, you need Y. When you pressure them for X, and you're not listening when they tell you you really need Y ... think about that for a bit. Have a conversation with the POs.

2. You should never, ever, ever, agree to anything without discussing with the team first. There should never be any surprises, because when you get surprised your response should be "let me discuss this with the team and get back to you before I give any commitment on that, but I'll get back to you before the end of the day." A key question on any kind of deadline is "is this a soft- or hard-deadline and why? How much wiggle room do we have?"

3. If you are getting surprises on any kind of annual basis or more, it's because you've become a "yes-man" and your team is paying the price. You're allowed to say "no" or "we're dealing with too much, can you help reduce the load" or "we can do it, but it will be two weeks later than you need it, here's what we came up with to get most of it done by X, and complete it by Y.".

4. Don't be a dick. Software Engineering is a 24 hour job. You dream about the problems you are trying to solve sometimes. It really sucks to come in to work, with a solution you've been thinking about all night and all morning, only to be told you can't do it because you've got a dick boss who agreed to some bullshit without even talking to you about it.

> Its the prisoners dilemma, and works when everyone works together but the minute someone stops trusting me and the team, it wrecks it for everyone.

It goes both ways, you have to work with the team as well. And regardless, nobody is a prisoner... hopefully.
I encourage you to visit Japan. With enough alcohol and caffeine, you would be astounded what the human body can sustain.
The other point that is completely missing is that a factory does not exist in splendid isolation.

If there's a problem with the FR-4 circuit boards, or the pick and place machines are misbehaving, or some of the chip-scale components that are being placed are faulty, or the wiring harness is wrong, or the molds for the body of the product need modifying because the product is cracking...

... it's much easier to deal with your supplier just down the road than one across the world.

These days stuff is manufactured in China because (the) stuff (that makes up the stuff) is manufactured in China.

Additive manufacturing is still too slow and expensive for mass production. As a recent Ars Technica article put it, it's fine for supercars but not for cars.

The first Alternativlos Podcast of two conducted with the leader of the Wendelstein X project relates how certain magnetic coils were purpose made by a kind of emeritus engineer in Swiss. Which seems corollary to the common wisdom about EMI, it's magic, so the manufacturer must be a wizard.

On the other hand it is reminiscent of a Georgian I met who used to be occupied with winding regular tire sized coils by hand, for over land transmission lines. This is chirurgical precision, literally hand-craft.

We do a lot of thinking with our hands. It stands to reason, metaphorically speaking, that Wendelstein is an experiment to gain hands on experience. Therein lies the difference to megalomanic projects that exceed initial estimates, eg. BER airport, which are a running gag by now.

Insolvency means the investment returned no profits so investors on those projects stopped paying. It likely doesn't mean that the cheques bounced on liabilities. And it obviously doesn't mean that investment in this space had to stop.
> There is no one orchestrating this.

Very true, and the reason why it's important to spell this out explicitly is because any solution that hinges on identifying and blaming a single or few orchestrators is dead on arrival.
Interesting, but as with many such history lessons, what one considers the origin of a given technology depends a lot on where one was at the time.
