This seems like it would be amazing even in consumers devices... And I hope AMD/Nvidia/Intel don't artificially segment it to the server space, as they have a bad habit of doing.
> you didn't want to learn why people were voting you down, and rather, you wanted to argue

It's possible to want both.

I've gotten downvoted for comments I probably never should have made (or at least should have heavily edited), and I understand. In fact I've made comments where I later thought "that should get downvoted" and been weirdly disappointed when it got upvoted instead ("I should have done a better job with that comment for it to deserve those upvotes"). I don't ask those people to explain their downvotes. I'm not proud of everything I've posted and those downvotes improve the discourse. In fact in reading these comments, I now suspect my account has that shadow rate-limiting flag on it and deserves it.

On the other hand, I've also gotten some truly inexplicable downvotes. Downvotes that I could not imagine anyone doing in good faith. Those downvotes do not improve the discourse and the community, they're simply infuriating and foster ill will, and these guidelines are all about fostering good will. If the person even made an effort to explain why I was downvoted, sure, I might continue to argue with them, but I would also appreciate the explanation and accept and understand their downvote.
That's all sensible. My point still remains that when the cost, time and technical competence of generating fake porn of someone approach 0, and everybody knows it, then the value of whatever porn you might have of that person is also 0, which is the state we ultimately want to get to.

Same thing with voice, we're almost at the point where anybody can spoof anybody else's voice with barely any effort. We're going to get used to a world where voices mean nothing.
But we're now at 20 years of this. And the world has gotten more authoritarian and more autocratic on the whole, much of the backing for which has emanated from Russia. People call Russia a gangster state, but that's not really true; it's a secret police state, run by a KGB man. And its favored tools of assassination, secret trials, disappearances, silence through fear, domestic mass mind control and international information warfare reflect that. The chances of something less malevolent crawling out of that swamp seem highly unlikely, since the country has functioned for over a century as an evolutionary experiment in eradicating anyone who shows a shred of conscience.
That works if you want to select between different inputs, but it doesn't work if you want to mix multiple inputs. From the description it sounded like the goal here is to mix multiple inputs, all with potentially different volumes, in which case a MUX won't help.
If you wanted to log from fibonacci, you would pass a some logger instance down to this function. In Haskell, this could be a record or a typeclass instance. In other languages, it could be an object or a struct. There is no fundamental difference. All the layers above would still have to pass this through; explicitly or implicitly.

Reading GEB is sort of like getting a comp sci degree- You learn what can and cannot be done with computers. There are a lot of folks who learned coding by doing, but there is deeper knowledge. It's the the difference between going to coding bootcamp and really being able to explain, for instance, The Halting Problem, or why P != NP. So GEB probably won't make you a better programmer but it will give you deeper insight into the fundamentals of computation.
Close - how about compassion?
Sure. You could perhaps have your "ill tempered" behavior recorded and if you have a dedicated space, or not, not wanting to associate it with "more heated conversation." Looks like a bit more separation is ideal.
Prokaryotes = Bacteria | Archaea
In CXL 3.0 there's a whole switched fabric allowing multiple hosts to connect to & share multiple devices. This makes the whole thing much more interesting, more like the unsaid former-competitor Gen-Z who folded & joined CXL.

Right now CXL 3.0 is still spoken of like a M:N host-device fabric, and that could be excellent. But also, the potential here is dead obvious: if there's a switched fabric in the center allowing memory mapped interconnect, it definitely obviously clearly simply stands to reason that this is a potential host-to-host rdma system. You'd have to be an idiot to miss this. It's so simple, so screamingly obvious. And it's one built into the cores, no NIC needed, with far lower overhead.

If and only if no jarheaded shitmonger patent troll ruins this alliance, this is the obvious way to build multi-cpu systems, to replace top-of-rack switches. But so far CXL folks are utterly unwilling & unable to communicate these objectives. They still speak of CXL as a host-to-device system. Which is stupid.
Looks like it is not. Maybe someone wants to maintain a fork.

How does open source compete with the Claude API? Easy: actually let you use the model. From the signup page:

> Anthropic is rolling out Claude slowly and incrementally, as we work to ensure the safety and scalability of it, in alignment with our company values.

> We're working with select partners to roll out Claude in their products. If you're interested in becoming one of those partners, we are accepting applications. Keep in mind that, due to the overwhelming interest we've received so far, we may take a while to reply.

No thanks, I'd much rather not wait months to see if my app deserves their oh-so-limited attention, or "aligns with the values" of a company taking $400m from Sam Bankman-Fried.

To be more charitable to your underlying point, Claude 2 is free to chat with via Anthropic's website, Poe, or Slack, and the GPT-4 API is open to use. If you're building a prototype or just need a chatbot, these do have better results and dev experience, at least for now. But I don't think picking on your Claude API example is unfair. These companies could randomly refuse your prompts via some opaque "moderation API" (that all GPT fine-tuning data goes through!), train on your company's proprietary data, spy on your most intimate questions, or just not find you worth the trouble and cut you off, at any time. THAT is why open source beats proprietary hands down: My device, my data, my weights, my own business.
No, it deserved to be opened and have its accessibility improved. These were totally fixable problems and Adobe fucked up by not addressing them. Like the vulnerabilities, they were just a result of developers dropping the ball on bug fixes, not a flaw of the tech itself.

We wasted a good decade rebuilding things from ground up with what became the web stack, including many of the bad things we blamed Flash for, like intrusive ads and DRM. And along the way, we lost some of best parts, like the authoring tools, and we dragged a lot of bloat too.

Have an idea of what should happen, compare it to what actually happens.

Even if it's not the thing you're actively working on, something being out of place tends to stick out as wrong and will help you notice problems earlier. An example from pairing with someone at work recently: "Wait a minute, that ran way too fast, there's no way it actually succeeded" - indeed, it had failed in a way the system couldn't detect.

I kinda thought everyone does this at at least a basic level. How else would you realize your code has the wrong output?
Nope.

Panic isn't an ersatz error reporting mechanism, it's a tool of absolute last resort. Any function or method that can fail should return an error, and should signal failure via that error. Callers that invoke any fallible function or method should always receive, inspect, and respond to the returned error.
The main use case if for seldom used APIs. If I run a service where the API isn't used often, but I need it quick when it is, Lambdas or something like it are perfect.

As it turns out, a lot of APIs for phone apps fit this category. You don't want a machine sitting around idle 99% of the time to answer those API calls.

Do you have test engineers or people that write automated tests? Not unit tests or tests alongside the code but tests that test say a development environment and are run outside the code base. Building an automated test suite like that as you build the systems is key to making sure past stuff built still works with new stuff. There are also tools you can use to analyze the code and provide suggestions for refactoring, if devs use this as they build things then it should help along the way.

Sneak fixing tech debt in as you go. Get a CI/CD workflow going to run tests on branches, after deploys, etc. and keep building the test suite out. When you have larger refactor work identified try to get a really tight and well defined scope - PM’s have fears of engineers just wanting to go off and perfect things, rightly so because it happens.

> It goes on to list the tech giant's conditions for continued support of the bill. Those conditions include that the bill not feature a requirement for manufacturers to enable repair providers to disable device security features.

The biggest tool that Apple has against right-to-repair is billed as a security feature - That they register the components and disable features when they're replaced. There's legitimate use for this as a security feature, as it prevents many evil-maid attacks, where the attacker installs a non-genuine camera and slurps data that way.

And that's probably what Apple had figured out they can rely on. They pretend that their lock-in is a security measure, serialize all of the replaceable components, and refuse to give the tools to allow replacing the serial numbers.

I think it's remote work, not specific to Zoom. What happens when you have a Zoom call, something is committed upon, an ETA is established (potentially ASAP/by EOD, etc), etc. The asking party is then left waiting and wondering whether they'll actually get it, correct and in time for their own deadline. So, in that case, you may be wondering; are they actually acting with the appropriate haste? Is it something that could have taken 10 minutes but is taking 2 hours because the person decided working out/walking the dog/etc took precedent. In an office, I can see that they are actively working, they're more likely to give me an update if they need to go grab lunch first or something, and generally I feel more trusting that the person is making an effort to accomplish my goal/task. When outside the office, I'm left to wonder and that erodes trust especially combined with the communication hurdles of a quick checkin/huddle/status updates. Even if we agree to an EOD ETA, earlier is always preferred and so often the feeling is 'why did it take all day'. It's also a general feeling that due to this, people are breaking more internal commitments that they used to. They said they'd do one thing but then was not able to, or it took much longer, or they are doing the workload prioritization when perhaps a manager should be, etc, etc.
No, this is federal reserve policy.

The federal reserve began raising rates in 2019 as it saw inflation incoming; a pandemic threw it for a loop, and when November 2021 came it decided to get back on track (as opposed to earlier to potentially less extremes).

It's also below the norm through 50 years of administrations prior to 2001 (lowered by a recession), still about half the norm from the 80s.

comments are in most languages, so I can see that angle, but you still have to be able to parse all supported languages, no small feat

you can alternatively split generated code from human written code with files, keep the mapping in something more structured like a config file

I just normally see a better way to do the same thing a magic comment does, generally speaking. There is typically a better language construct if you limit yourself to that language (most common), and config files offer much more structure with existing tooling (mostly decode in your preferred language)
Agree that we want to bolster (1). Also we are not trying to prove we are medically improving symptoms, as that is not our service. We are helping members with ADHD reach future-oriented goals, and take ADHD-adapted approaches to coaching. So having them go through onerous testing etc., when we aren't a medical service, especially if it would suggest to others that we are, wouldn't make sense.

(2) I'm not saying that it takes 2 months. I'm saying we will begin enroling folks into the pilot in 2 months. We have been planning for a while now. Also, we are not trying to plan a randomized control trial nor prove medical outcomes, so our pilots are different.

Thank you for your advice! Would love to learn more about what you're building!

Re: "loose ends": we're currently conferring with adhd experts in academia and medicine to choose the right outcome metrics to study, make sure they have the right (recent) peer reviewed literature, incorporate them into our processes/tech such that the UI/UX is friendly for folks with ADHD, etc. The outcome metric(s) are the most challenging part right now because we want it to be aligned with existing body of knowledge (as you mentioned), yet reflect what we're working on (most aligned with Health & Wellness Coaching and Acceptance Commitment Training)—e.g. we're not looking for simply measuring symptoms, more so impairment and life quality. And for "data collection", we're also working with our clinical advisor on the minimum amount of data (and what variables) we'll need to ask from our members for the study. Happy to elaborate on any of the above and our process, where we're at, etc., offline! chris@shimmer.care
I think calling Dr. K a bait and switch is a bit unfair. They make it very explicit before signing up that it’s not medical care and that it’s just a coach and not a mental health professional.

Unless they changed the onboarding process, it’s made obvious to the user what it is.

It is interesting to compare the Japanese micro seasons with the 12 month names in the French Republican calendar [1]. The French month names derived from Latin or Greek words, translated here to English.

Autumn: Vendémiaire (vintage), Brumaire (winter cold), and Frimaire (frost)

Winter: Nivôse (snowy), Pluviôse (rainy), and Ventôse (windy)

Spring: Germinal (germination), Floréal (flower), and Prairial (meadow)

Summer: Messidor (harvest), Thermidor (summer heat), and Fructidor (fruit)

In Britain, a contemporary wit mocked the Republican Calendar by calling the months: Wheezy, Sneezy, and Freezy; Slippy, Drippy, and Nippy; Showery, Flowery, and Bowery; Hoppy, Croppy, and Poppy.

They require you to have a phone number. I don't get why this is a bad thing for a social media site. They aren't collecting your phone number to sell it. They are collecting it because it an easy way to lower bot, spam, and ban envision accounts. Plus it adds basic security to user accounts. I'm pretty sure every social media site requires a phone number.
