I think the dominant ethos that underpins the (American, commercial) Internet, and F/OSS and things like that, tend to lean left quite a bit. The dominant institutions around here share that: Google, Wikipedia, GNU FSF, CNN, most "newspapers of record", etc.

I think that rightist, conservative viewpoints tend to be minimized, down-moderated, deleted, shouted down, and canceled, and it has the effect that those of us holding viewpoints which may contradict the prevailing winds, we need to keep our opinions close, and guard them a bit before sharing too much. Perhaps I am too cavalier about espousing such things. I certainly know this: when I say the wrong keywords over my Google Voice number, they disconnect me right quick. Call me a nutjob. Knock off my tinfoil hat.

So I think this tendency to expose a lot of left-leaning content, especially like on Wikipedia where it can easily be vacuumed up, that's going to bias any LLM that's indiscriminately trained on everything the Internet has to offer. I would suppose that you could train a differently-biased LLM by curating its content in certain ways, but perhaps you'd struggle to reach the volume of data demanded by a "Large" Language Model. I don't know.

I know for sure that every LLM I chat with has strong opinions and those opinions differ with mine. It's said that it's not really possible to dictate or train what an LLM says in a direct way, but they sure know how to hammer on those librul talking points.

Minimum Viable Secure Product, Minimum Viable Marketable Product, Minimum Viable Sellable Product.

I don't get it. Why do we need all these additions? Perhaps it is me who does not understand the meaning of "Viable". MVP is not a restricted, well-defined end-goal. "Viable" means viable for your case. You can fill in whatever you want. It does not mean "Viable" without security or "Viable" without "Marketability".
The main reason to make a new dialect is so that a specific type of optimization is easy to write in that dialect. For example, the affine dialect explicitly exists so that one can implement polyhedral loop optimizations. These were possible in, say, GCC, but it requires "raising" an arbitrary low-level program—full of loops with mixed in memory access, weird control flow, and even GOTO—to identify the structural patterns needed to then implement polyhedral optimizations. It took many engineers over many years, even re-designing the entire GCC IR (into something called "GIMPLE"), to enable this, and IIUC it's still considered one of the more challenging parts of the GCC codebase to deal with.

Then with MLIR you want to do ML optimizations, which require even _higher_ level constructions like identifying linear algebra ops, so you can do stuff like tiling optimizations and lower to dedicated hardware instructions. THe high level MLIR dialects enables that information to be preserved as long as possible so that it's easier to implement all the magic.
Ive started 3 projects i would like to come back someday:

1) HoM&M3: Hota player vs AI battle simulator - i already did some reverse engineering of AI used in battle and reimplemented some game mechanics to be able to run simulations with a few units. Purpose: to find average best possible output for given fight scenario.

2) Benchmark runner, database and visualization - i have some code for db, cli and dsl used for querying data. Purpose: to find performance regressions in subsequent builds and to give nice visualizations of product performance for management and marketing.

3) General purpose scripting language built in Go. No code, but most of the grammar already defined. Purpose: mostly educational.

You might want to rethink that.

There's no need to 'solve' for time - it's included in the raw data packet from any single satellite.

As any 'solution' carries an inherent error margin, the desire for an excess of sats doesn't stem from solving for time but the reduction of error.

What Have I Been Reading This Year?
> Cloud is for big computational needs that can't be covered by Linde or DO.

I don't think this is true at all. The cloud is just a fancy word for using someone else's computational resources, and the cloud's main selling points is not having to host or manage your hardware, and be able to scale on demand. A third less mentioned topic is being able to have global deployments.

None of these items imply a limit on how "big" are your computational needs. In fact, it's well established that once a company grows its cloud needs after a threshold, it becomes far more cost-effective and performance to just manage your own hardware and infrastructure.

Lastly, even AWS frames itself as the go-to solution to grow from zero to launch.

Second, you do not "vent" CO2 anyway. Why would you do that? It's stupid and wasteful. You just transform it into diamond and bury it inside the crust.

Some thoughts but I see we're not going to reach much common ground:

- elites aren't a monolithic group

- regular people don't all agree with you, specially in their actions, which is the main problem

- change comes about as fast as it comes about, you don't get to dictate what is "fast enough" through revolution or terrorism without facing opposition

- change is in fact coming as I shared with sources showing more governments turning green with trends predicting even more

- decrying a hijack of democracy is folly, and something anyone who's annoyed that their country doesn't do what they personally want can say at any point without any proof. That's what trump said when people didn't vote for him, that democracy was hijacked.

If anything it was a great discussion, hope you have a nice day even if we don't agree on a bunch I respect your fervor and thoughts on the topic.

More specifically, you need to solve for the receiver clock bias.

Edit: I would welcome corrections though if I am misunderstanding. Perhaps if you're not interested in precise timing you can read the satellite time from the broadcast signal?

Edit 2: OK, I think I understand your point now. The satellites broadcast their timestamps directly. To find a precise position / time you need to find a correction to the receiver clock. But if you don't need a very precise time, you can just use the satellite timestamp.

I’ve started Pirsig a couple of times it just doesn’t click. Could you elaborate a bit?
Well, it's an engineering decision, so there is no direct answer.

But as an engineering manager, at least I must ask and answer the following question: even when nobody wants _slow_ data, how fast is fast enough? I don't see decision makers choosing and thinking better with a 10 min latency vs 20 min latency, as they are not looking at the reports all the time, even for big events like Black Friday (they have meetings and stuff you know, even their supporting analyst teams do).

For more time-critical matters (i.e. real time BI or real time automatic microdecision making for fraud detection), as I said, we did have the capability to run both more frequent microbatches or do RT processing using Flink connected directly to our app backend messaging system (ironically Confluent, Kafka as a Service). But that is very different to using a complex real time log as Kafka running on "pet" servers as the cornerstone of your data platform and then propagating said data to different engines/datastores (at least 4 as I said) for downstream processing. That's a lot of moving parts running in a low reliability environment.

Overengineering is a thing, and I think it was my responsability at the time to limit the level of complexity considering the reality of the business and the resources we had in the team, even if that meant 20 minutes of latency for a business report. That's my point and why I say I think it was a bad decision to use a Kafka based stack. YMMV obviously.

It's very large, though. I haven't found a radio-set 'square' Casio in the Baby G-Shock range which would be a better size.
That's a hardware difference. Brains run at a very low clock speed and make up for it with massive parallelism. They also don't suffer from the vonn neumann bottleneck - today's computers spend most of their time and energy shuffling the network in and out of memory.

I believe that better hardware architectures will have more impact on AI than better neural network architectures.
The only pro that I see with black box is that you get resistance training. I can’t think of any other VR offering that has this feature

After that all I see are negatives:

I should try it before I complain, but a big point about VR is being able to do stuff remotely with people. Having to physically go to a gym gives you lots of excuses not to go vs having VR in the living room. The travel time is also a time sink.

As others have pointed out, hygiene is a thing. I’m not keen on wearing a headset that other sweaty people used. It’s one thing to use normal gym equipment, but this goes on my face. Not sure if UV light is enough. That particular headset is gross when it’s damp.

Looking at the headset, it looked like an HTC Vive model which is really old. The Quest 2 has much better visual fidelity. I know this because I’ve owned and used both extensively. A quest 2 is also a very affordable as a standalone VR peloton.

Another big problem that this shares with other gyms is the lack of variety compared to VR workouts at home. It looks like there is only one game. Even if there are variations, it’s still just one game. That will get boring within two months.
I hate to say this, but to me, it's quite clear that the author doesn't understand what is React much. And for some reason, it is very common to understand it this way, like it is some kind of a great web framework that defines how we make web apps. I believe it is completely wrong to look at it this way. React is a LIBRARY, to create USER INTERFACES. If you want to apply it to the web - you must use react-dom. You can also write native user interfaces which are not web-related at all. You can do native desktop apps with QT interface, or mobile app using Swift UI kit or Android native libraries.

You can write interfaces on the server, wrap them in HTML documents and send them to the user performing SERVER-SIDE rendering. But not any of this directly entitles React.js as a web framework, and it is utterly incorrect to start comparing it perpetually with what it was compared to.

React was a true revolution in the functional user interface development area. The concept of side-effects, hooks, and reactive renderer comes from the functional paradigm which is not so easy to grasp. This fact alone makes all these articles to come.

The author is true to his "it’s still not intuitive to me what" and "I’m still not exactly sure what the difference between" lines throughout the whole article, but with great confidence he compares React with jQuery and Vue. I would say it is still not intuitive to him what is React in its core, and how different it is from the web frameworks he is trying to compare it to.

React is a functional Javascript library to craft anything related to User Interface. It is incorrect to label it a Web framework exclusively and keep comparing it with others because there are 10 different frameworks based on React, but just a single React there are.

And the React is much more of a bundle of functional concepts than a full-fledged framework for doing anything. You can easily shoot yourself in the foot if you take it wrongly, as it doesn't provide you with clear instructions for making things work. It leaves you on your own with hooks until you understand 6 of them are all you need to create the interface in it's gorgeous simplicity. At some point, you understand that if your hooks are complicated and you cannot grasp your effects - then it is your interface that is complicated and your thoughts themselves went astray to entangle this monster.

This is quite nice! I might start using this.

Some things that would make this nicer:

- Add a downloadable, ready-to-use bin as a release.
- Change the background-gradient. For me, it is a bit too close to the bright pink used on old VGA-games, so I initially thought it was an error.
- Add option to also copy those lines to clipboard, or upload them to pastebin or similar. The url could then be embedded within the generated image. Perhaps this does not fit into the scope, but it could be nice.
- Add a short instruction on how to use this within an editor. For instance, perhaps a short vim-binding from a selection could be added to the readme?
- Why is there a link in the readme to a wikipedia-article on Fast inverse square root?

Well, you need some cross platform native UI toolkit that can dynamically render the hxml, and React native is hard to beat there.
I think a lot of comments here might be missing the point of this standard - it’s not specifically designed just for startups or to cover general organisation security (like EDR). It’s a product feature oriented checklist that should help short circuit some aspects of supplier security due diligence and establish a set of product security features that any B2B product with ambitions to sell to enterprise customers would benefit from aspiring to, and anyone buying can leverage. That means large multi-product businesses looking to ship an MVP for a new service as well startups with a bright idea but a possibly limited understanding of enterprise IT compliance needs.

I’ve got some experience as Head of Cyber/InfoSec at a couple of startups/scaleups and I see this as potentially useful in a bunch of ways if broadly adopted. It establishes a baseline both for our own products and our suppliers, attests to stuff that actually affects how we integrate with and operate a third party product (ISO 27001 gives me no clue whether you support SSO, have viable logs that I can actually ship to the SIEM etc.) and hopefully simplifies both the due diligence we do on our suppliers as well as that done on us by our customers by allowing us to reduce a good chunk of the product feature questions to “does your product meet the MVSP standard”.
