Probably worth to add the context as well:

"This song is an allegory of the recent difficulties we went through dealing with Sun, who refused our request for documentation about their UltraSPARC III processors. We want documentation, because these are the fastest processors with a per-page eXecute bit in the MMU, needed to fully support our new W^X security feature. In the meantime, the AMD Hammer has come onto the scene, and this processor supports an eXecute bit in 64-bit mode."

Codenames are alphabetically ordered, it is easy to guess the release date.
And to finish that last bit, if an argument of a call is not a `Date` or `Str`:

* The compiler may reject the code at compile time for failing to type check; and, if it doesn't:

* The compiler will reject the code at run time for failing to type check unless it's either a `Date`, or a `Str` that successfully coerces to a `Date`.

I agree with you, and, furthermore: Why handicap yourself when there's an alternative? It used to be completely unaffordable for a mass produced sedan, so I could understand that, but 10 years later things have changed, and insisting on vision-only reeks of stubbornness and stupidity at this point.
Which leads to me asking a question and never getting a notification of an answer, because some idiot just thumbs-upped the question.

Also, thumbs-upping the question, what does that even mean? It's a good question? I also have this question? The answer is yes? What if it wasn't a yes/no question?

Just to add this, my ENT prescribed a nasal probiotic prior to my surgery due to staph risk. I used it for 6 months prior to the surgery and now I continue to use it because, either it's a placebo or something special, it seems to improve the airflow in my nose beyond what I'd expect from just squirting some buffered water up my nose. Additionally, I seem to have fewer head-colds that also seem to resolve more rapidly (I have two small children, so my house is literally an incubator for infections).

He was checking if you understand what the actual benefits of trading firms are to the wider market participants. I've never worked in trading and even I know the answer to that: he was looking for a discussion of the value of liquidity and price discovery.

Sounds like you gave an answer that didn't mention that at all, and may have presented the firm as merely taking advantage of other people's mistakes to make profit. Clearly that's not how he saw it, and the VP correctly guessed from your social media that you may not actually have understood the part of the finance industry that you were applying to work for. The question was to check whether you'd actually be enthusiastic about the work you were doing and you did indeed fail it.

This would be like if you turned up at Google and an interviewer said, "What do we do here" and you said "exploit data to profit from people's ignorance" and when they gave you a second chance you couldn't answer.

Frankly you can't get a job at most firms if you can't explain why you think the company should exist.

Also the JVM didn't seem as widespread as flash player in my experience - it was something like a 40+MB download and somewhat-involved install whereas Flash player seemed to have been included in the OS or as an easy IE plugin add-on.

How do you build the app with its dependencies without a package manager?
Without any more context, it’s pretty hard to tell why they are leaving.

There are several reasons why this is happening, but I would start by talking to your customers and seeing what they have to say.

First, I would send an email to all the customers that leave, asking them nicely why they left and what you could do better. (I would also consider including an optional text field that allows users to provide their reasons for leaving at the time of departure.)

Then, I would use a tool that will ease the process of gathering feedback and prioritizing it, which is the problem that I solve in my SaaS. (You can check it out here: https://votesnag.com)

This will help you understand what features are missing and what you should build first to make sure your customers don’t leave.

Listening to your customers is really, really important and will help you not just keep your MRR the way it is, but even increase it.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Yes, they're symmetric. Shorting is logistically a bit more complex than going long, but that's not an argument against it. After all, buying stocks is itself more complicated than buying land, and buying land is more complicated than renting, etc.
V twins are way better balanced than single cylinder engines. Singles have extreme primary imbalance. V-twins are a bit primary a bit secondary but neither is extreme. Dirt bikes don't have rubber motor mounts. No motorcycle I'm aware of does.

In terms of imbalance and vibration, IMO, thumpers are the worst, then parallel twins with 0-degree cranks, then other parallel twins. Triples and v-twins are somewhere in the middle. Inline four is decent, inline 6 is even better, boxer is best.

Would it be nice if planes went faster and you could cut maybe an hour from a cross country flight? Sure.

But to me at least, the speed is the smallest issues with airplane travel.

The bigger issue is that it's just a miserable user experience all the way around: finding and buying tickets, going through security, boarding the plane, eating and being entertained on the plane, sitting in bad chairs, unpleasant bathrooms, and then you get to the general societal increase in mental illness meaning you might have to deal with some onboard drama, etc.

I'd prefer to drive anywhere that's not over an ocean these days even if the flight was at Mach 10.
Director was a better general development environment than Flash IMO. Flash was mostly a Director focused on the web animations. Director was available until 2017. I first saw it in the early 90's and I think it was just called MacroMind.

Eventually becoming MacroMind Director and eventually Adobe Director. Creative people could have moved to Director from flash.
AFAIK the reason was constant juggling with codecs on Apple side as mentioned here, so all was rendered by software at the end on macs. The fairly tale of just Apple trying hard to make flash work on their hardware and Adobe sabotaging their own product on a major platform doesn't make any sense from business or even just logical point of view.

Some companies, or even countries simply never properly acknowledge errors or mistakes on their side, it certainly looks like the case here (and I doubt anybody relevant could speak here due to NDAs or still actively employed).
As I already mentioned 4-5 times, one of the languages I use regularly reuses the number row for extra letters (and it isn't even enough for all of them). I have to hold Shift pressed to enter a number this way (using a keypad feels much better) or use CapsLock to enter a capital of such a letter.

You're not in charge of what things mean. Here's Wikipedia:

This would include publishing PII about Asahi Lina, like her "real" name, as it personally identifies her.

It's no wonder the Asahi Linux project doesn't want to talk to people with your attitude. Maybe take some time to do some introspection on why you feel so strongly about this issue, which seems to impact you not at all.

Some bugs/issues appear over longer time spans. Things like issues around daylight savings time. Or memory leaks (or file size limits) that build up over a long time. Or even just accruing a lot of data in a system to the point where it starts exhibiting performance issues in certain workloads.
This is why I think it's so strange that Apple shows mounting an iPhone to a bike handlebar as an official use case in their latest watch presentation, where you can use the phone as a second display to show workout metrics from your watch. On one hand they tell you not to do it because it can break your phone, on the other hand they build features that assume you will do it anyway.

I am not sure how the identity management works for encrypted email for Skiff. The white paper[1] seems to imply that a user has to send a URL with a secret in it as with document sharing. Every time? How is the user expected to get this secret URL to their correspondents? Does it require the use of a second messaging system with identity management? PGP for instance?

Generally, how does Skiff allow the user to ensure that the message is being sent to their actual correspondent and not the Skiff server? Signal messenger for instance uses "Safety Numbers" for this purpose.

For these tasks and languages, SeamlessM4T achieves state-of-the-art results for nearly 100 languages and multitask support across automatic speech recognition, speech-to-text, speech-to-speech, text-to-speech, and text-to-text translation—all in a single model. We also significantly improve performance for low and mid-resource languages supported and maintain strong performance on high-resource languages.

To more accurately evaluate the system without depending on text-based metrics, we extended our text-less metric into BLASER 2.0, which now enables evaluation across speech and text units with similar accuracy compared to its predecessor. When tested for robustness, our system performs better against background noises and speaker variations in speech-to-text tasks (average improvements of 37% and 48%, respectively) compared to the current state-of-the-art model.

SeamlessM4T also outperforms previous state-of-the-art competitors.

> what is the net benefit of currency arbitrage

It means you can actually ask the question "how many dollars is a pound worth" and get a meaningful answer.

If arbitrage wasn't possible for some reason, and it's a natural phenomenon so that would have to involve pretty horrific levels of state-backed control, then the answer would be:

"It's $X in London and heading down, was $Y in New York yesterday and heading up, and $Z in Chicago but you probably can't get an account there because it takes ages and requires special paperwork, and <thousands of additional prices>"

You would then spend the rest of the afternoon attempting to figure out how the hell to do a basic international trade or FX transaction and by the time you'd finished reviewing the prices they'd have all changed again.

Arbitrageurs seek out and correct fixable price disparities, thus enabling you to talk about one global price for a particular type of trade. This has tremendous value for everyone.
I remember working on a project in 2010. We hit multiple crashing bugs in Flash (both runtime and IDE) doing fairly basic stuff. I figured we’d paid for support, might as well use it, and reported them to Adobe.

Literally never heard back until a year later when they closed the tickets saying it might be fixed in the next release and we should buy licenses to find out (spoiler: no).

The problem is, the design is tested to the ISO immersion standard, but the product is not.

What do I mean? In hardware manufacturing lines, if you guarantee water immersion, you actually do that test as part of manufacturing, either using real water or something known as "dryleak" where you gauge air displacement in a fitted and known volume fixture.

Apple and most phone manufacturers aren't going bother with that test since it's extra labor and time, so they instead live with never warranting it.

It doesn't take much to have a water ingress issue. Even a tiny tiny defect in the adhesive gasket gluing the phone together can lead to ingress.
For me one of the key features is the integrated TLS server, so my backups can be transferred over the internet at decent speeds. Tools based on SSH all suffer from the SSH window limit and will never reach high speeds over the internet.
I'm a hiring manager for UK based FTSE 100 company, hiring software engineers and data scientists. I wanted to give a perspective from 'the other side'.

I've been involved in hiring for a few companies since 2018 ish, and I've noticed a really sharp decline in the quality of candidates this year. Recently I have interviewed no end of candidates who have 5+ years experience, made redundant and seem to think they can walk into a job with zero effort.

Some recent examples that I am slightly changing for anonymity:-

- a candidate could not remember how to do a for loop in python

- a candidate told me they forgot what the job they applied for was and who we are

- the only question a candidate asked me at the end of the interview was 'can I work on my personal laptop?' We are a multi billion pound company, not a startup.

If these were graduates I can forgive some of the poor interviewing skills, but these were for mid/senior positions, sometimes leads!

I would like to stress, there are some fantastic candidates coming through too, and I am deeply sorry for anyone who has lost their job. The challenge though as a hiring manager right now is wading through the vast numbers of candidates who really put in zero effort, and there are a lot of them.
Most criticisms of unit tests in articles like this are actually criticisms of bad unit tests.

They also overlook a large part of the value of unit tests, which is fast feedback during development time.
We could push all of our tests up to the browser level, but then I lose the almost instant feedback that unit tests give me.

Sure, if your tests mock everything, and only test individual methods, then they probably are brittle and provide little value over more 'expensive' (e.g. slower) tests higher up the test pyramid.

If the tests only interact with the public APIs (e.g. the 'ports' in a ports and adapters architecture), then they are less coupled to implementation, can represent real business scenarios (instead of 'input x gives result y'), and add more value.
I mainly use 70B for “text QA” on files I find sensitive like personal documents. The answers have been very close to what I get if I use GPT-3 (langchain makes it easy to switch). Do you use the quantized version? If so, try running the full one on a A100.
I think anyone could have grievances with the system and reasonably feel it's not fair.

My issue are these outlandish made-up assertions and generalizations, calling peoples' lives "games", etc. Clowns like this are the crypto-bro of social commentary.
Show HN: Pip install inference, open source computer vision deployment
Deploying vision models is time consuming and tedious. Setting up dependencies. Fixing conflicts. Configuring TRT acceleration. Flashing (and re-flashing) NVIDIA Jetsons. A streamlined, developer-friendly solution for inference is needed.

We, the Roboflow team, have been hard at work open sourcing Inference, an open source vision deployment solution. Our solution is designed with developers in mind, offering a HTTP-based interface. Run models on your hardware without having to write architecture-specific inference code. Here's a demo showing how to go from a model to GPU inference on a video of a football game in ~10 minutes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at-yuwIMiN4

Inference powers millions of daily API calls for global sports broadcasts, one of the world’s largest railways, a leading electric car manufacturer, and multiple other Fortune 500 companies, along with countless hackers’ hobby and research projects. Inference works in Docker and supports CPU (ARM and x86), NVIDIA GPU, and TRT. Inference manages dependencies and the environment. All you need to do is make HTTP requests to the server.

YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLACT, CLIP, SAM, and other popular vision models are supported (some models need to be hosted on Roboflow first, see the docs; we're working on bring your own model weights!).

Try it out and tell us what you think!
The stalwarts of linguistic precision weep as the world moves on. I still cringe at "I wish I was there" instead of "I wish I were there" (they're both correct but mean different things!). But then, it's a potentially heated topic and the discourse could prove inflammable.

I eagerly await Steinway's new piano featuring a dampener pedal.

It's not wrong to depend on a single version, just suboptimal.

Exhaustively testing every combination of dependencies with your project is infeasible for any non-trivial set of dependencies. The "is compatible with" relationship present in some package managers (e.g. ~= in pip) isn't guaranteed to work because packages can "lie" about their compatibility.

Sure, it's better to have some kind of way for a piece of software to specify that it depends on foo 3.x instead of tying it to a specific release, but at least being able to specify some dependency is better than not at all. In the worst case, the user can treat the "required" version as a suggestion/guide, override that version with whatever they want, and see if the code works.
If you don't mind, could you share how you overcame that? I think for me at least a lot of it is/was not being able to be comfortable struggling with a hard problem for an extended amount of time, probably due to being used to only solving fairly trivial exercises and thus feeling dumb/the problem feeling impossible if it wasn't clearly solvable under a short timeframe.
LLM Apps Are Mostly Data Pipelines
My colleague Pat just wrote up an article on LLM-based apps and how to use data engineering tools to help build them faster that blew my mind.

It contains a complete implementation
- with scraping context data from a docs website
- chunking it, getting embeddings via the openAI API
- loading it into pinecone
- and finally a simple Q&A interface with streamlit on top of it

Here's a quick summary:
- LangChain and LlamaIndex are great tools for quick exploration
- But aren't perfect for production-grade use
- I think we all know the "LangChain is pointless" debate, but there's a lot of real meat to it, and Pat describes a few of them (a lot of LangChains extractors are super basic, 2-3 liners without retries etc.)
- LLM applications are all about moving data, extracting and enriching data (creating embeddings!) are the most expensive ones of those steps
- A bunch of data engineering tools are out there that make these two steps much easier, versionable, robust, and reproducible.
- Meltano is one such tool and Pat implemented the above described pipeline with it

FWIW: The GitHub project that comes with the post is super easy to run and super modular. I just tested it and was able to modify everything for my own application within 30 mins.
