In 2012, I need to sync data between a set-top box device(a karaoke machine) and an ios/android device to transfer SQLite data between them.

The ios/android app literally spin up a HTTP server run on the phone, the device just hit it to download file up to 20MB. I was dumb and didn' think much, and it just works. It works so well I never pay attention to it. Eventually the app evolve where the entire config is push this way, one can open the app, edit config, and it save these into XML file. The setipbox will download that XML file.

Then even better, there is a webserver run on the phone, where one on the same wifi network can hit it and edit all the config on a very simple website instead of using the app UI. Such as upload file from your desktop into the phone(the song book).

Of course, the app needs to be running for all this to work. When the app close, the webserver is also shut down.

So yes, even in 2012 on those cheap devices, one can run a full feauted webserver on the web server.

Haha, zap did not pioneer anything, what are you talking about.
Yes. I think the point is that the price per token for creating the embeddings using e.g. OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 api might be low, this will add up to some significant cost for a large document corpus. The suggestion to roll your own based on freely available embedding models is sound IMHO.

Now how to chunk those documents into semantically coherent pieces for context retrieval, that is the real challange though.
If you look at foreign aid the US is ranked far from the best givers (those are mostly from Northern Europe) simply because of the strings attached: "We give you X if you buy Y from our War Industry" is not really foreign aid but war industry aid. International organizations are more often than not better at this as they don't give with one hand while taking with the other. Of course some are even worse, like the World Bank Groups.

I'm familiar with home manager (or as I like to call it, a hammer looking for a nail, that solves no problem). I don't think home manager has any relationship with flakes. Also, nix solves actual real problems, home manager doesn't. There are better dotfile managers. In fact, vim understands the syntaxes of a lot of dotfiles, with home manager, you even lose that.

You asked people whose job (and thus life) depends entirely on tourism if the place is good for tourism. Clever.
Definitely. Landauer's principle gives a lower bound on the amount of energy a computation requires, which is k_B T ln(2) times the number of bits erased in the process, the decrease in Shannon entropy. Our energy cost analysis is not based on the Landauer limit, but simply on the energy difference between equilibrium states. But our algorithm for estimating the determinant is based on effectively measuring the entropy difference between equilibrium states.

Nebulous? When TSMC can no longer economically cram more transistors onto the dye, Apple will need other ways of increasing performance to keep the upgrade cash coming in. Apple previously co-developed PowerPC with Motorola (and IBM) for this very reason. At this time, Apple has all but kicked its third-party developers out of kernel space on its operating systems which will make for easy transition to future architectures. I would go so far as to speculate Apple is already designing proprietary RISC-V extensions and even their own FABs to produce them. One would expect such extensions to help Apple's systems execute Swift and ObjC better (faster and more securely) than general purpose processors and to optimize shared memory and fabric access between CPU, NPU and GPU cores.
> Not only do most users gain very, very little from it

How do you come to that conclusion?

Those who switch to using flakes are enthusiastic about the improved UX.

> flakes is that it is too much added complexity for tiny incremental gains

A 'flake' is more/less a set of inputs and a set of outputs. I'd say it's less complicated than a package.json file in an NPM project.

The benefits are hard to get otherwise.

With flakes, `flake.nix` provides a standard entrypoint to a Nix codebase. Without flakes, you might see a `default.nix`, but would have to read the `default.nix` to know how it's supposed to be called.

With flakes, the exact version of Nixpkgs used is locked. Without flakes, I'm not aware of an easy way to do this with channels; and there are a variety of ways (read: no standard way) to do this in Nix code.
Kind of, unless you missed all the FPS drama versus PC gaming.

Nothing lasts longer than a temporary fix.
Slot spacing on motherboards is a challenge due to high frequency signal attenuation. You have finite limits on how far your slots can be from the CPU. Your signal budget/allowable distances are decreasing as each successive PCIe generation runs at a higher frequency.

Yes, you can space out slots widely, however this means you have to use PCIe redrivers/retimers which adds cost to the board. You can also use different materials for the motherboard but again, this adds cost.

We'd love to provide better slot spacing configs, but there are technical and commercial tradeoffs to be made.
Nice. Greeters are overrated
A rocket functions by ejecting mass out the back at high speed. By conservation of momentum, the rocket then accelerates.

You want to optimize for velocity gain (also known as delta-v) per unit mass of propellant. So the question is, should you eject something heavier at lower speed, or something lighter at high speed? Which is more efficient?

If you write out the equation for a rocket ejecting some propellant at some velocity, apply conservation of momentum, and solve for the ratio of delta-v to propellant mass (just a bit of high school physics), it turns out that a higher exhaust velocity makes a more efficient rocket.

As a sibling post points out, if you compare water vapor with hydrogen at the same temperature, hydrogen will have the higher velocity. Chemical rockets usually produce water and/or carbon dioxide, which are bigger molecules and therefore less efficient propellants than hydrogen. So if you have a way to heat hydrogen to the same kinds of temperatures you get in rocket exhaust — say, in a nuclear reactor — that’ll make a more efficient rocket.

There are of course considerations other than pure efficiency. Our most efficient rockets, ion engines, are indeed crazy efficient, but their thrust is measured in milli-newtons or newtons. They can’t be used to lift things off earth. They also use propellants like krypton and xenon, presumably because they’re easier to store than hydrogen.
Stanley Lippman's "C++ Primer" 2e was the first book recommended by an expert, when I started learning C++.

(At the time, this wasn't just another of today's programming language books, of learning a slightly different syntax for essentially the same language or framework. Imagine most work in your industry being done in C, and procedural. But suddenly you can work in this new-to-most paradigm, called OOP, which can multiply the scale of problems you can tackle successfully. But the emerging language for that in your industry is much more complicated, and you need the help of a good teacher.)

Lippman helped teach something important to countless students he never met. Among Lippman's other merits and accomplishments, his family might like to know that he was a teacher to many.

I think I am talking past you in some way; sorry about that.

I am not trying to play word games or pull "gotchas" on your phrasing. I think I have a straightforward underlying message; I hope you can hear it through my imprecise miasma of words.

Maybe you already heard it, but are only replying to the remaining small tidbits you object to; I'm unsure.

In truth, I have a similar frustration, where I feel the fragmentary quotations of mine you reply to do not give justice to the larger context in which they were written. But I don't hold it against you; I know that struggle.

Anyway, one more attempt:

You presented some simple advice ("It's not about working hard. It's about working smart."), and as mentioned I don't disagree with it per se.

But in my life, I have seen that advice used "for evil", if you will. (I do not mean to imply that you intend it that way, of course).

And in particular, I do find that people giving and following that advice are often either willfully or ignorantly (more often the latter) blind to the downsides that can go along with it — vis-a-vis empathy towards others, for instance. Of course, I do not mean to imply that you are blind to it. I don't know you.

So, I hoped to give some voice to that other perspective, is all. I find it to be under-represented, in discussions like these. Hugely so.

Re: humans having two legs: I truly am not sure if you are messing with me, or if I really failed to deliver my idea so totally. I swear I don't mind if it's the former, though I feel it is the latter (: Help me improve my communications protocol?

I thought our sequence went something like this:

you: work hard and learn from your mistakes

me: agreed. but also, beware of assigning blame for misfortune

you: here are some examples of how learning from mistakes is useful/empowering [airliners, bikes]

me: yes, and here are some examples of misfortune that's not blame-worthy [unlucky birth, etc.]

you: my examples were not meant to be all-encompassing [humans have two legs]

me: ???

Actually, writing it out maybe makes it more clear. Perhaps you feel I was disagreeing with your initial advice, and trying to counter it somehow. But rather, I am trying to add something to it; draw a bigger circle around everything on the Venn diagram, so to speak. Not cross yours out.

Idk how California law works for this particular area, but some states for certain types of things have state-level preemption, placing limits what local governments can restrict or apply. Though it's a lot more common for things like tax, it happens for a wide variety of subjects:

I think there are certain types of boilerplate that used to be truly onerous that are now much less so because of types. If there are 3 different files that need to be updated to add a file, and forgetting one is only going to error at runtime (maybe even only if you're exercising that new field) that's horrible. But 3 files that require updating where the code won't compile until you've added all three is way way less of a problem.
I don't care what platform you are targeting: unless the entire purpose of your product is to take advantage of the feature (which is sometimes fair), you never ever ever EVER integrate whatever is "cool" from the latest keynote.

Regardless, while Android requires you to compile new apps with the latest toolchains to release, and you might have to update some stuff in your manifest, they do not force you to use new APIs, they do not require you to stop supporting old versions of Android, and I've seldom run into a backwards compatibility issue that wasn't some corner case involving the weird intents we have to use (as our app relies on being a VPN).
A machine that is 99% idle isn't running at 1% utilization all the time. It's idling 99% of the time and running flat out 1% of the time. The user pushes at least one core to the limit with every action they take, even if only for microseconds.

This is why performance matters even with a machine that is mostly idle. A faster system will respond faster to events. It will have lower latency when communicating over a network. It will handle user inputs faster. Users will complain that a program takes a second to respond even if the load average is 0.01.

(I know CPUs enter lower-performance states when lightly loaded. They can go from idle to their highest performance state in much less time than it takes for the user to notice latency.)
Volterra devices are quite affordable.

Windows will always have this issue, because Microsoft isn't Apple, their hardware is only to inspire OEMs, they don't have the means to drag everyone screaming into new hardware no matter what.

Windows NT supported several CPU architectures from day 1, they died as consumers couldn't care less that PowerPC, Alpha, Itanium... were supported.

> But in real life luck (or "chance" , if you prefer) plays a part, sometimes a significant part.

This reminds me of a story I heard nearly 20 years ago. (Told by a UCLA staff member.)

In the early 2000's, a UCLA professor invited a successful entrepreneur to give a guest lecture on one of their business courses. During the lecture he was asked what made him the success and the fortune - and the answer was distilled to less than seven words: "Get lucky. Then stack the deck." He went on to explain that the best way to maintain a competitive edge was to make it as hard as possible for anyone else to try to follow his steps or to circumvent his position. But first you had to get lucky enough to afford it.

He was not invited again. Too honest and demoralising for the students.
Stanley Lippman's "C++ Primer" 2e was the first book recommended by an expert, when I started learning C++.

I remember discovering this book in the library at university and realising that it was something special, and written by one of the greats. Rest in peace, Mr Lippman.
These aren't intended to be powerful complex designs like what the navy uses. They're going to be small, simple and low power with as few moving parts as possible. Probably passively cooled, and having just enough plumbing such that propellant is only heated up when the only way for it to go is out the nozzle.

After all, waste heat is much harder to get rid of in space than here on Earth.

For reference, other space nuclear reactor designs NASA has looked into have been in the lower kilowatts in terms of power output.

Space stuff doesn't yet need the power output relative to size of a modern military reactor, the bigger concern is being reliable and providing stable long term power.
> Go doesn’t keep things simple and uniform

This is a bold statement, care to back that up with examples? In my experience go is the most uniform language I have used due in large part to having very good abstractions available in the standard library, as well as the way interfaces are used.

> Limited and simple are not synonyms

Agreed. Simple refers to how much context you me to keep track of as opposed to the capabilities of the system (which is how I interpret limited). What aspects of go you you find limited?
Whole market categories seem to be the most complex things to remove. I don't ever watch live blockbuster movies and there's absolutely no way to have that understood in the recommendations.

I think it comes down to the variety of people looking at those, there will always be a huge segment that 99% matches your profile and also watches them.

> I could volunteer that information

Users are giving too many false information when asked, I think this becomes a losing strategy if your goal is to maximize watch time. The LGBQT angle in the article is a prime example of that.
Yeah, still not budging. They keep shoving multiple obnoxious ads every few minutes in the video. It is the same as the predatory monetization approach in the (mobile) gaming industry where authors makes the original product so awful deliberately only so they can shove subscription down your throat.

"Mansions" is hard to quantify; whether a given house was a mansion will be subjective, and doesn't correlate super well with the amount of financial support they gave their child. But if you want to really dig into the details:

> Gates

His father was a high powered lawyer in Seattle; his mother was a member on a number of corporate and philanthropic boards, including one that gave her direct access to the Chairman of IBM at the precise moment that Microsoft was attempting to sell software to IBM.

> Bezos

His parents loaned him a quarter million dollars to start Amazon in the mid 90s.

> Ballmer

His father was a "manager" at Ford, which could mean a wide range of things; he grew up in a very wealthy area.

> Allen

He seems to have come from genuinely middle class roots - his parents were a librarian and an elementary school teacher.

> Musk

This one is pretty complicated; his father owned an emerald mine and seems to have been quite wealthy, though Elon disputes his father's claim that he invested money in Elon's first company.

> Page

Both parents were academics in computer science.

> Brin

Both parents were academics, immigrating from the USSR to the US - his father ended up teaching math at the University of Maryland, his mother doing research at NASA.

So that's two (Gates and Bezos) where their parents were significantly wealthy and influential in useful ways; two where it's unclear how much they got real benefit from their parents' wealth, but they certainly didn't grow up poor (Ballmer and Musk); two where the parents weren't rich but academically involved (Page and Brin); and one where they were genuinely just middle class folks (Allen).

I find that hard to believe. Grasslands that are managed in the suggested way become nutrient poor and support way less life than a naturally grown forest. Everybody is eating from trees: nuts, fruit, leaves even the wood itself.

A natural forest - not the managed ones with just a couple of species - is absolutely teeming with life.

However, there is something in between nutritionally poor wildflower grassland and thick dense forest and I feel those hit the sweet spot.

Finally, I feel biodiversity is often given so much value that we don't even think about the amount of life anymore. It turns out that some ecologically managed grasslands do have a high number of species, but just not a lot of each one, whereas an open forest can harbor way more animals.

This makes sense: there is just not a lot to eat when you only have wildflowers on the menu.

Not sure if this is a fallacy but if not it should be:
