I did not ever specifically do that. If I was starting up a new digital life now I would probably do that. But when I started using OSX, I made a few directories in ~/Documents (before it became apparent that every program under the sun was going to have a chance of shitting something in there, and the vast bulk of what I do lives in one of those directories.

(Actually, it lives in a sub-directory of one of those directories, with a disused organizational scheme lurking around it, but, well, if you want more details on that there's a whole blog post: https://egypt.urnash.com/blog/2019/01/06/how-i-work-file-org... )

AI as currently modeled can pretty much never get enough data, so mostly data processing, and model generation.

when a query is asked of an AI it has to generate a response from all of that data and the query and response themselves become data

running an LLM on local consumer hardware can take upwards of 20 minutes for a single query, so an AI service that may be responding to up millions of requests a day would need a massive hyper-parallelized server infrastructure
Adding 1 to an ASCII decimal strings is a great icebreaker and I always use it. It is not leetcode. It is a filter for people who have actually encountered computers before. Even though our industry is maturing there are still a huge number of candidates who present themselves without ever once having written a program. I find the question has a massive signal. Either the candidate aces it in 15 seconds, or they immediately ask a bunch of on-point clarifying questions, or they are stumped.
> One is "do you know what's going on under the hood?" On another post I just saw a comment in which someone advocated counting the number of occurrences of something in a list by filtering it and then getting the length of the result. This is almost certainly a terrible solution as it allocates memory (which has to be freed) in what can be done in a single quick pass. By asking you such a question the interviewer can learn if you have some idea of the tradeoffs and why something might be a good or bad idea.

> These are the kinds of decisions that can have order of magnitude impacts on runtime, which can have huge impact on the company's costs.

Then the questions should be more like: What data structure, library, method, steps, would you use to solve this problem and why. What are the tradeoffs of your choices, etc?

All of this can be answered in fairly high level pseudocode too and still show that they understand the concepts etc.
Hydrogen can be generated on-site (and in quite a few cases, that's preferable over filling up elsewhere).

So if the efficiency of generating hydrogen is increased, that's a win for endusers no matter if they do it themselves or pump it somewhere from 3rd party.

A block of metal is great heatsink, and a long ruler like that is both thermally conductive and has decent surface area to radiate heat away. More importantly, a fan is not a carpentry tool. Now, one could use a drill, shop vac, or circular saw to generate wind, but they'd be much less energy efficient than the passive radiator.

It's damn good* as is, but there's one major problem, and a fork in the road where it looks like they'll focus on WASM moving forward.

The major problem is...you can't use an Isolate on web, put more simply, everything** is on the main thread unless you go to extremes of segmenting out the code you want on another thread, compile that to JS separately, then call into it from a web worker in JS that you invoke from Dart. I'm told web devs comfy with JS don't see this as a huge deal but for me with a mobile-only background, it's convoluted and fragile

They have a preview of compiling to WASM working, web apps already feel _slick_ but apparently they're seeing a 3x speedup. I don't know enough to know if this fixes the problem above, but I would put money JS staying as is and WASM will be the web story moving forward

* if i read grandparent as "what's the quality of a Dart web app?"

** there's caveats here, ex. I'm 90% sure things like network loads and image loads arent literally on the main thread, i.e. the browser implementation of the APIs flutter calls into is non-blocking. It doesn't really matter though, unless your app is so simple you either don't have custom operations that run long enough to cause significant frame drops
> In terms of engineering (QC, processes etc), modern day software industry is worse than almost any other industry out there. :-(

How do you know that?
This is one of the weirdest complaints I've ever heard.

Almost every language has some sort of requirement for where you put files to properly compose a library. Dart is one of the sanest I know of, just throw your stuff in `lib/mylib.dart`. This file is normally only used to `export` what your lib API should look like, and it's a convention that the implementations go in `lib/src/`. That's all there is! You can break up files apart any way you want from there. To import a file from another file you do `import 'relative/path/to/file.dart`. Dart doesn't care where your imported files are as long as it can find them. There's no "packages" like in Java, but that's never a problem because imports can be named.

So you do stuff like:

import 'mylib.dart' as mylib;
// call mylib function
main() => mylib.foo();

So simple, so great... I really can't understand why someone would complain about such an elegant system.

I noticed a dehumidifier in the basement of the house I moved into. I did a search for the model number - looking for a manual - and found out it was recalled. Same thing - fire risk.

It's really unfortunate because I had a home inspection done after I moved in and part of that is I get an email every month about anything in the home being recalled and that wasn't part of it. Good thing I happened to search for that manual that day. I was able to get a partial refund on the thing, though, so that's good (it was quite old). It seemed to have been in a "fan" mode, not running as a dehumidifier (water tank was empty).
Yeah, that is definitely a limitation with QAT. It isn't a great fit for larger data, as it can quickly lose compression ratio due to its smaller window. However, there is a lot of compression done on data that is <64KB. E.g. compression in RocksDB.

We also have some half baked ideas to combine a fast SW match finder that only looks for matches >64KB away, and supplements the matches that QAT finds.

The fusion hype should be blamed squarely on journalists, not on "the public."

The LM99 room temperature semiconductor circus was a very different phenomenon, mostly driven by internet people rather than journalists. And very short-lived. If mainstream journalists were as skeptical of fusion as a net power source as they were of LM99, people would be better informed.

"fast-charging, high-range" EVs are already here, so I'm not sure what you're on about. "non-degrading," no, but nobody is actually claiming that. machine learning also exists and does useful work. We can argue that it's overhyped. That's a different conversation than the one about whether fusion power can ever work.

I don't think this is a good rule of thumb. There are lots of people reviewing things without getting paid to review.

And affiliate links are a variation of getting paid to review. They make money if you buy what they're reviewing, after all, so are incentivized to encourage you to buy.

Maybe Google decides certain ingredients aren't fit for public consumption and changes the recipe in their "summary." Or maybe the FDA tells Google it has to do this.

Yes, this seems unlikely. But so has much in the last 5 years.

Why are we deliberately charging head-first into social man-in-the-middle attacks? We already don't trust each other enough. LLMs lie, and lie often. Why should we trust them for anything?

Electromagnetically Induced Acoustic Noise
Factually no. There is no straightforward method of taking energy from renewable sources and getting it to a charging station. In reality, this is one of the hardest parts of green energy. You simply have to ask the question, "what happens when the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining?"

In fact, this is a total inversion of reality, bordering on science denial. The process of making and storing hydrogen is a straightforward process. It is trying to this with only electricity that is very hard.
Thank you for the response and links. The second link is particularly helpful. I'm surprised that Newton is equivalent here, but the reason appears simple: although the inbound observer's time slows, their velocity does not.

A distant observer is unable to perceive them as they approach the event horizon as the inbound actor grows infinitely dim thanks to time dilation.

Not necessarily. Let’s say they are using Amazon affiliates, if they consistently use those across the site regardless of if they reviewed the product as good or bad, then they aren’t inherently being salesman. Just opportunistic, as they can make some money in a way that benefits everyone.

The way it works is by leveraging the existing aws client libraries to sign and (de)serialise parameters and responses, so you can do something like:

and it will just work with any params such as form inputs or hx-vals etc

the reason i haven't posted it yet is i want to find a good way of mapping parameters since the aws api can have some notoriously complicated parameter formats
A catch is that hydrogen does become much safer in high-pressure tanks, because, when such tanks are breached, hydrogen escapes so fast that it can't react with oxygen fast enough to burst into flame. To prove this, Toyota literally shot their hydrogen tank with .50 cal[1].
