I don't know anything that comes close to this. Just recently someone gifted one of my children a battery powered toy, I checked it and decided that I couldn't tell the difference between that toy and a purposeful attempt at arson...

The big thing that stands out for me is that the perception of the risks (impact / likelihood) is entirely unlike the real risk. For most other things those are much more in line. And that's why people get caught out.

Nobody thinks twice about leaving their e-bike charging in the kitchen overnight, or to take it into an elevator or in an extreme case even a bedroom (1 room studio, no storage space). Stairwells are another such spot. I charge mine outside under an overhang, and only do so when I know it isn't going to be anywhere near freezing.
There certainly are more malls in downtown Chicago than are sustainable (900 N Michigan, Water Tower Place, Northbridge, Block 37, Roosevelt Collection). Water Tower Place probably should stop being a mall since it's probably the most bleak and it's basically across the street from the much nicer 900 N Michigan...Block 37 should put a grocery store in the basement (ok, I'm biased since that would be very convenient for me...)
Oh, they're aware of their political opinions, all right. This particular situation --- people pushing for extreme conservative viewpoints such as eradicating me and my people --- is one of the rare instances in which you should reverse Hanlon's razor.

I recall Apache Skywalking being pretty good, especially for smaller/medium scale projects: https://skywalking.apache.org/

The architecture is simple, the performance is adequate, it doesn't make you spend days configuring it and it even supports various different data stores: https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/main/v9.5.0/en/setup/back...

The problems with it are that it isn't super popular (although has agents for most popular stacks), the docs could be slightly better and I recall them also working on a new UI so there is a little bit of churn: https://skywalking.apache.org/downloads/

Still better versus some of the other options when you need something that just works instead of spending a lot of time configuring something (even when that something might be superior in regards to the features): https://github.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/docker/dock...

Sentry comes to mind (OpenTelemetry also isn't simpler due to how much it tries to do, given all the separate parts), compare its complexity to Skywalking: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-...

I wish there was more self-hosted software like that out there, enough to address certain concerns in a simple way on day 1 and leave branching out to more complex options like OpenTelemetry once you have a separate team for that and the cash is rolling in.
I envy those who can wake up on schedule.

In my natural state, I wake up randomly between 09:00 to 12:00; the only way I can wake up earlier, or at specific time, is if someone else forces me out of bed, and makes sure I don't fall back asleep within the next 15 minutes. I've been like this for as long as I remember. So even without kids and their adjustable schedules (ready to get up as early as 04:00, but waiting for us to wake up until ~06:30), to get in that morning hour of learning, I'd have to ask my wife to wake me that hour earlier - which already defeats the point of having alone time.

And even if, my brain never really wakes up until ~12:00 - 13:00 anyway.

Having your biological clock stuck in an opposite timezone to everyone else sucks, but you only learn how bad once you start a family.
You can float measures but they’re always incomplete models.

I did not say all code is useless.

You generalized based upon a specific conversation. Generalization I have heard over and over from speakers who, when measured, do not measure up as highly as they think they should.

I am aware of various studies that measured what technologies are increasing productivity. The variables were too numerous to make meaningful conclusions.

We cherry pick and make small models at jobs to obfuscate and debate who is pulling their weight. But it’s just toil to stay employed. The future value of any given for loop is zero; it’s just hustle to crank them out regardless of their use case, and denigrate others cranking out senseless reports.

There is no model that says the poster I replied to, or you, are outputting more value. It’s just toiling to make it appear so at a small scale (within the business).

14% of working adults in the US has better than a bachelors. Public opinion polls indicate the public thinks it’s almost 40% of working adults have better than a bachelors.

What your missing is how deluded the general public is about its accomplishments.

I can imagine this argument being made repeatedly over the past several decades whenever anyone makes a decision to use any paid cloud service. There is a value in self-hosting FOSS services and managing it in house and there is a value in letting someone else manage it for you. Ultimately it depends on the business use case and how much effort / risk you are willing to handle.

Legally, can this cover talking to e.g. state prosecutors and the police as well? Because claiming to be "100% secure", knowing you are not secure, and your users have no protection against spying from you or any minimally competent hacker, is fraud at minimum, but closer to criminal wiretapping, since you're knowingly tricking your users into revealing their secrets on your service, thinking they are "100% secure".

That this ended "amicably" is frankly a miscarriage of justice - the Fizz team should be facing fraud charges.
Based on the comments, it seems it is very field dependent. My experience is mostly from physics/electromagnetics. All my fellow grad students learned Fortran 77 as that's what the code bases were in. I should ping the few that are professors to see if they're forcing their students to behave likewise.

> One Friday night, we decided to explore whether Fizz was really “100% secure” like they claimed. Well, dear reader, Fizz was not 100% secure. In fact, they hardly had any security protections at all.

It's practically a given that the actual security (or privacy) of a software is inversely proportional to its claimed security and how loud those claims are. Also, the companies that pay the least attention to security are always the ones who later, after the breach, say "We take security very seriously..."

Seems luxury retail is dying more so to cheaper competition from fast-fashion such as Zara, to individualized fashion online from Etsy, to hypebeast brands that seems to target younger demographics, to rising commercial real-estate rents and failure of shopping malls, to competition from delivery services, an an aging target audience (I don't know any millennials or younger who shop at Nordstrom). Retail theft is a drop in the bucket of their cash flow.

Even the article mentions that "San Francisco has been in the midst of what some call a doom spiral, with office buildings and businesses still empty in the post-pandemic landscape." If you're working from home, no reason to make the commute to stop downtown at retailers. The major downtown retailers thrived in the pre-WWII age when people lived close to urban centers, white flight and suburbanization killed the department stores which were the Amazons of their age, in recent decades, this trend has been reversing as people moved into cities, but after the pandemic, if you get to work from home, there's not much to bring you into the city, especially in places like SF with skyrocketing housing prices.

I think the key reason why the world will move a lot of stuff that “already exists on CPUs” to GPUs is not that we’re porting existing code, it’s that GPU acceleration is a meta-trend that is disrupting all highly technical fields. It started much earlier decades ago in gaming and video. It then moved to grid and scientific computing. It has now fully revolutionized AI. The returns on better CPU code are much less than the returns on GPU code in the medium term as many of these trends in graphics, scientific computing, AI are mutually reinforcing. When 90% of your pipeline runs of GPU then the last 10% might as well too. There are obviously tons of small things that require CPU but the most important and crucial systems code should be moved to massive parallel architectures.

I don't know, but I can't imagine any other logic.

Maybe the price they charge you depends more on how much money they think you have than it does on a market's "decision" on what the product is worth.

That wording implies an asset sale which is for anyone involved in or doing business with Fig a big difference. In that case existing ownership and obligations stay with the original entity (probably something like Fig Inc, Delaware corp), the whole team gets hired on at Amazon, Amazon buys the tech they want for some payment the Fig board signs off on, and then someone goes in to clean up and wind down Fig Inc. It's common when big companies buy much smaller companies because doing a full purchase can be a lot more complicated.

> if you used it you know its flaws

Indeed, I've been using C for almost 20 years now. I won't say it's without flaw for sure, it has its quirks, but overall I do think it's quite okay for the job.

> Fat pointers are just pointer + size of an object

Yeah I know what fat pointers are, I even resort to handcraft some form in C for some neat performance hackery on x64.

But the thing is, we're talking embedded here. Most ucontrollers I use have 8b address space, no MMU or any form of virtual memory, separated instruction/data bus (MVHA). That kind of thing don't play well with funky fat pointers.

Sure if your definition of embedded is "64b ARM" all is good, but I guess we're on a spectrum.

Exceptions are pretty much non existing as well, since that would require some form of runtime, which you often just cannot afford on a small chip (if not just form the sheer size of it).

Threading is a no go as well. To get threads, or any form of multitasking really, you have to rely on an operating system, which by definition is a bit weird to have on an embedded IC.
Because it’s often heavily negotiated. At the enterprise level, custom requests are entertained, and teams can spend weeks or months building bespoke features for a single client. So yeah, it’s kinda fundamentally impossible.

Hey, thanks for following up.

I always felt that repeating myself to the compiler (down to `procedure subprogram is begin`…`end subprogram`) or otherwise being verbose was something of a feature in the vein of defense in depth than the syntax not aging well. It never seemed to me like it was meant to impose clarity on the code, just that you were meant to file your subprograms and types in triplicate. It's useful as a backstop against trying to do things quickly instead of doing them deliberately.

At least, Ada's use of verbosity stands in stark contrast to COBOL, which does have the explicit aim to make things clear.

I'm mostly of the same mind as you in re Python's (and Haskell's and F#'s) whitespace-oriented ways of doing things, at least until the real world creeps in. I've had problems with early block termination because of mixed tabs and spaces that weren't readily apparent, and the language's toolchain wasn't particularly helpful in diagnosing them, leading me to lean on external tools. (COBOL at least has the heritage of being column-oriented, so indentation being significant is less problematic there.)
You’re going to need to set some practical constraints here.

Profit maximization is why ChatGPT even exists - why be surprised when that's the end result?

It's much more common for the acquired company to continue as an entity in its own right with only the board changing in the short term, and often continuing as a brand within the acquirer's business in the long term. Integrating a existing team into a company is hard. That said, Amazon has a lot of experience doing exactly that. I think they'll be fine.

The T800 series did have floating point, and as I understand it, it was one of the most extensive uses of formal methods in processor design of its era http://www.transputer.net/tn/06/tn06.html

The rough guide to transputers is, T2: 16 bit; T4: 32 bit; T8: FPU; T9: superscalar.
At least. I once spent months negotiating an enterprise deal that was initially quoted at $1M annually. We talked them down but it took a long time.
No, you can literally visualize the quoted effect by turning your head sideways to look at your monitor vs having it vertical.
"Unlimited access to advanced data analysis (formerly known as Code Interpreter)"

Code Interpreter was a pretty bad name (not exactly meaningful to anyone who hasn't studied computer science), but what's the new name? "advanced data analysis" isn't a name, it's a feature in a bullet point.
Heh. That's not very nice. If it feels stilted, that's probably because I wrote this primarily to be spoken. But ChatGPT was not involved.

OP was then corrected as to the mechanics of the situation.

Yes, it might be relatively rare for the complications to occur.

None of this changes the reality that OP was talking nonsense and your response is pure speculation and anecdote.
>Model training, though, is an up-front cost, not dissimilar to the cost needed to buy those Sun servers and Cisco routers in the dot-com era...

This is only partially true even now, and I expect it will be less true in the future as continuous training becomes the norm. As Hericlitus said, you cannot step in the same river twice, and data drift is a real issue when modeling complex processes. It will become even more of an issue as the widespread use of models starts to impact the data streams they rely on for training: acting on a prediction can change the underlying assumptions that produced the prediction in the first place.
Yes, that would be an interestion option for the networking part of it, but the hardware / OS is the more unclear part to me right now.
Stores with no nearby workers won’t spontaneously fail. But the situation is symptomatic of a precarious labor/housing equilibrium. In this precarious system, stores are likely to be toppled by external forces (Covid), and have farther to fall afterwards.

Other cities, with more robust labor/housing equilibriums, are bouncing back from the pandemic just fine.
> Sadly my most productive time, the time where I feel like doing the most work, is between 13:30 and 18:00, which has a pretty big overlap with "picking up kids, getting dinner ready and other household chores".

Me too, I almost blurted out something like this to wife today - that I can't help it, my best hours seem to be between ~13:00 and 19:00, which is exactly the time that's torpedoed by a series of distractors like "dinner", "picking kids up from facilities", and everything else that's going on. By the time we're clear of all that, I'm too mentally or emotionally drained to do or enjoy anything.
I don't understand why in both contracts and legal communication (particularly threatening one), there is little to no consequence for the writing party to get things right.

I've seen examples of an employee contract, with things like "if any piece of this contract is invalid it doesn't invalidate the rest of the contract". The employer is basically trying to enforce their rules (reasonable), but they have no negative consequences if what they write is not allowed. At most a court deems that piece invalid, but that's it. The onus is on the reader to know (which tends to be a much weaker party).

Same here. Why can a company send a threatening letter ("you'll go 20 years to federal prison for this!!"), when it's clearly false? Shouldn't there be an onus on the writer to ensure that what they write is reasonable? And if it's absurdly and provably wrong, shouldn't there be some negative consequences more than "oh, nevermind"?
Not totally true. If you're working with public institutes (universities in my case), they will ask you to comply to the major points (and help you comply, they effectively gave us two man-day of an architect, which, for a company with 3 dev, is huge).
> That's possibly the most inefficient way of saying "AWS bought Fig" but I guess it makes some people happier to frame it that way

Often that kind of language is employed when the actual transaction was structured as an asset sale coupled with en-masse hiring of the team, rather than a true acquisition of the company as a complete entity, which is not an unusual scenario when a company is in distress.

Point to point at HF frequencies doesn't really exist. The wavelengths are huge and directionality is poor.
