Mixing profit with healthcare is bound to lead to trouble. Patients got no choice but to accept the abuses of the system when they are sick. Like agreeing to things under duress.
Honestly, being a sysadmin might have better job security.
Transmitting same amount of power at higher voltage requires LESS copper.
I feel you are describing an implementation that was once fine but is no longer satisfactory, rather than an abstraction, which perhaps could have been made easier to fix with a bit more abstraction: a function to do the soft deletion if possible, with a better-performing (albeit probably more complex) way of determining whether soft deletion was an option.
I spent about a decade in Europe and really enjoyed learning about how their electrical grid works. The ability to directly plug most appliances without needing to buy extra adapters was amazing. Boiling water also took half the amount of time.

If memory serves, Thomas Edison used a 110v DC power supply to create a system of electricity for people. Meanwhile, Nikola Tesla invented the three-phase 240v Alternating Current (AC). Tesla was clearly a man ahead of his time (even by today's standards).

tldr; Europe's grid is vastly superior to America's.
My solar inverter consistently finds the UK grid at 243-245V.

Looking for stability and battery life after all.
I don't really see it. O(N^2) for context window length is not an issue as you don't need particularly much longer context windows than for text. You don't have to run this at 30 FPS, 12 would already be enough to understand what's going on. The dimensionality is much higher of course, but how many dimensions does the latent space of TikTok videos really have? Train an autoencoder and take only 1000 dimensions for the frames. Of course it's not that simple but my mental models atm make me feel like this should work. What do I mean by work? A grainy low fps video+subtitles transformer that looks terrible but as a plus actually has some decent physical consistency. I guess that is Phenaki etc., but I'd hope for much better understanding if the "grammar" of the physical world. That should be rather orthogonal to FPS or resolution (or number of dimensions you take).
But people use numpy for matrix multiplies in Python. Unless they are claiming to be 35k times faster on general-purpose code, the 35k number is absurd.

I would've guessed that it's normal to have bad connection often when on mobile. At home I have a stable and high bandwith connection, but on my phone when commuting I regularly loose connection for seconds or minutes at a time. Designign apps should take this into account (that you can't completely optimize out of a bad connection)
As an American, I have a faucet at my kitchen sink that will give me water at 195F. That takes care of nearly all my needs for truly hot water. When I do need the last few degrees to get a roiling boil, my induction cooktop has a 3700W burner that will do it in a hurry.
Perhaps that's an end-around for water rights issues. You can't "just" take the water rights from long established players. But it might be easier to simply apply a water tax, a base rate multiplied by how much water the product required to create, divided by the abundance of water in the region.
> Since there are really many companies and people using AWS, the effect would be noticeable if everyone managed such a decrease.

Your condition is predicated on "everyone" at Pinterest revenue scale justifying the business case of throwing away their existing tech stack and adopting Elixir with an equivalent architecture---never mind that the article is coming from a company that sells Elixir consulting services---while major CSPs voluntarily bend over to notionally substantial revenue decline...and I'm bordering on bad faith??

At least I bothered to put a supporting numerical estimate on the hypothetical; you're just handwaving greenwashed bullshit with improbable, unsupported outcomes.

The biggest advice I could give is "there are no short cuts" and even if there are it takes way too long to find them.

if you want more money work on getting a marketable skill. preferably something you don't mind doing.

In a world of changing requirements it can be difficult to know what the right abstraction is going to be. I am happy to accept some duplication early in the development cycle until the requirements have settled. Only then it's possible to go back and refactor (which admittedly doesn't always happen in practice).

I believe duplication should raise eyebrows but it can be justified.
I'm just thinking of google's GATO, it seemed to have absolutely no trouble integrating a large number of modes.
Active noise cancellation earmuffs are widely available. You can buy them at Walmart (at least in states where Walmart sells guns). One brand I found on their website is Radians for $30. Search for "active hearing protection."

3M even makes several dozen models called "Peltor". Some of them have Bluetooth so you can listen to tunes:

https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/c/ppe/hearing-protection/earmu...

I'm not certain these are all doing compression; the cheaper ones are probably just doing waveform inversion once the threshold is reached.
As a FYI, just as it's OK to abstract away duplication in code, it's OK to do the opposite, remove abstraction and add duplication.

So in your particular case, it could have been possible to abstract away the code at that point in time and once they diverge, remove the abstraction and duplicate, then adjust one of the duplicates (which no longer is a proper duplicate really).

But, might be more work than it's worth. YMMV.

Meta’s ‘Biggest Single Takedown’ Removes Chinese Influence Campaign
The actual west coast is pretty low impact other than sea rise. If you are close enough for the breeze but far enough to avoid the storm surge with a 1.5m rise, that is your ideal. The reason is the cool/cold pacific current. There is no prediction that it will shift, and if it did, I'm not sure any models would tell us what came next. The rainfall issue is certainly a thing, but it impacts agriculture and housing further inland. The east isn't safe either, the extremes will get more extreme. Places that don't usually have A/C will need it. Altitude is your best bet. Buy on the west side of the rockies for the rain at ~7-9kft. Not that your deed will matter when everyone comes knocking.
I haven't noticed any slowdowns. Maybe check that threads/n_threads is set correctly for your machine (total cores - 2. 10 cores = 8, 8 cores = 6).

n_gpu_layers should also be set to anything other than 0 (default). I don't think the exact number matters for metal, but I use 128.
If we replace plastic packaging with metal or glass containers which weigh more then more fossil fuels will be required for transport.
Battling Baldness
I understand and appreciate brand, identity, marketing, and so on. And based on that experience, I can say with confidence: if your brand needs six colors and shades / tones within each to make a "promise" you need to so rethinking and redesigning. No "promise" that complicated is going to stick.

Tell HN: Siri “Open Spotify on the Apple TV” doesn't work anymore
Not sure if it's just me, but this morning asking Siri to "Open Spotify on the Apple TV" doesn't work, Siri replies "I found some web results if you ask again from your iPhone". Same with "Open Spotify on the TV".

I know Apple and Spotify dislike each other, but this is pretty ridiculous considering it worked fine yesterday. Even in 2023, I can't ask Siri to like a song or open a playlist due to their differences.

> I agree with you here and tend to rather, if possible, deduplicate subsystems or sub-functions of similar looking/identical code and keep the duplicate public surfaces.

Completely agree, take the small parts that are standalone/discrete and abstract them. I greatly prefer something like

function1() {
commonCode1();
commonCode2();
commonCode4();
}

function2() {
commonCode2();
commonCode3();
commonCode4();
}

Over something like (assume I've inlined the commonCodeX logic):

functionCommon(branchingParam) {
if(branchingParam) {
commonCode1();
}
commonCode2();
if(!branchingParam) {
commonCode3();
}
commonCode4();
}

> The point of abstraction is to reduce the number of concepts in play.

I'm not sure I agree with this. For me, the point of abstraction is divide the number of concepts between the layers you introduce, effectively to hide concepts from the layers where you don't want to have to care about them. Often times, abstractions adds the total number of concepts at play, but hides them beneath/above the layers.
there are plenty of middle class living pay check to pay check and do not own things.
It's not all that weird though. Until the 1970's we had (in NL) 127 in some and 220v in other places which could either be 127v to ground, 220v to ground or 220v line-to-line. By around mid 2000's everything was switched to 230/400v for standardization in Europe, so it's not that long ago we still had some lower voltages.
I have a question for you as a Brit. I live in an Asian household (my wife is Asian). We have a hot water boiler, as most Asian households do. It keeps 4L of water at "tea" temperature at all times (after boiling it).

When we want tea, we just fill up the cup with the already boiled and ready water. It's super efficient because it's super insulated so it barely takes any energy to keep it hot after it's been boiled.

Why don't Brits (and other tea drinking cultures in Europe) do this?
That percentage keeps getting smaller every year huh.
For real; you can even make sudo work with SSH_AGENT. Add hardware key and it's pretty nice setup.
If you've got your abstractions correct, then the exponential growth term and the decimation term will be partial differentials which will compose together nicely

> They probably do have exits though, in case another elevator breaks down.

Floor space is generally too precious for that. In a typical multi-bank elevator setup, lower floors get their toilets or other utility spaces placed between two banks of elevators that don't stop at that floor; the corresponding point in the upper floors is the elevator lobby for an upper-floor elevator bank.

There's a widely reported story that a group of people stuck in an elevator in the WTC on 9/11/2001 used a window washer's squeegee to cut their way through multiple layers of drywall to escape into a 50th floor bathroom.
What seems to serve me best is keep things as simple as possible. If you add abstractions, do so to make the rest of the code easier and less complex. If you must do something complicated, break it apart as pragmatically as possible and do it in the simplest way possible. Favor YAGNI (you aren't going to need it) over corporate-wide libraries that lock you in.

Keep your codebase discoverable first. Structure by feature/function not type. Favor the local developer experience first. If you cannot open, follow and run the code easily, your developers won't be able to onboard quickly. Someone else will have to continue with your mess, make it as orderly as possible. I find that docker-compose can help a lot on this front, as can developer containers.
The credit score of the dead person, or the spouse?
I agree with you that meat consumption is a menace, but please don't put almonds (or any trees) at the same level as cattle.

Alfalfa consumes 10-20x more water than almonds.

Alfalfa is used for animal feed, is using fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, animal ag produces methane and causes water pollution and oceanic dead zones, is a source of zoonotic diseases, consumes a lot of antibiotics ...

None of that is true with almonds and pistachios, as both crops could replace milk and dairy, and they produce proteins and fats that can feed the population sustainably.

I understand that growing almond monocultures in a desert may be a stupid idea, but remove animal ag. water usage and you will have water problems no more.

Change those almond monocultures (and alfalfa fields) to diverse food forest, and you may reverse desertification and increase precipitation in that area.
It’s a little sad the most widely used algorithms/guidance for contrast accessibility do not have peer reviewed evidence behind them. This goes for 2.1 and the upcoming standard. For something so impactful, I wish the industry help sponsor rigor here.

You can combine the two roles so you're not solely focused on programming. This is where devops / devsecops / creating ansible playbooks and Docker runtimes can be fun.
It'd be wonderful if we could measure the utility of software engineering choices by counting keystrokes or measuring file sizes or putting them in a turbo encabulator and seeing which one has more modial interaction with its magneto-reluctance. Unfortunately, reality is just too complicated, with far too many tradeoffs to be balanced. I'd recommend deep thought and discussion about the domain over looking at a graph of your codebase's sinusoidal repleneration.

> All that complexity would be better handled via version control fork/branch relationships

Probably not.
I had never heard of anyscale before but I'm curious why you think the entire industry will consolidate around LLMs. Maybe you mean transformers? Either way there are a lot of problems that LLMs just aren't suited for.
I think most "middle managers" want to WFH. It's more senior management driving RTO.

The US also uses a different primary network configuration, typically running a three-phase network as main primary with single phase primary laterals. The pole-mount single-phase transformers then turn this single-phase into split-phase LV for consumer use. One consequence of this is that adding three-phase to a property that doesn't have it already is really hard - you need to upgrade the LV service connection, the transformer, and the MV lateral (since the MV lateral is only a single phase). Compare that to the European system which has three-phase distribution transformers and then runs three-phase LV past every property. In some places like Germany, the standard is to provide three-phase to every property, in others like the UK, standard is single phase service connection but... it's easy to add three phase since the other two phases are only a few metres away, I understand the Dutch standard is to run all three phases to the property but only connect as a standard (you have to pay for the upgrade).

I think in both cases, for urban and suburban areas it is standard to run the MV feeder as a normally open ring so that in case of a fault in the primary, parts of the system can be run from the other end of the ring by remotely operated automatic breakers. What I don't know is whether US systems do that at the level of the main primary only or also on the laterals.
I think there's a middle ground here. The original quote does not mean DRY=bad, abstraction=bad. The point is there is a non-zero cost to these things. A bad abstraction can, as you say, accumulate to something terrible through inertia or inexperience. A bad abstraction, even if caught early, was probably not worthwhile - I mean, it took time just to make the original one right? This does not mean that we should be scared of abstraction in general, but in my opinion abstractions that are purely for the sake of reducing duplication should be viewed with an extra level of apprehension.
I have a temperature controllable "kettle" (tank) under my sink connected to a tap and I get water at 195F. I agree on the convenience. They are pretty common.
I recently encountered a couple articles about the Bronze Age collapse. Turns out most civilizations did not contain substantial quantities of both copper and tin, since they appear in very different geological formations. When supply lines were interrupted, everything went off the rails.

The provenance of the materials in an item can say a lot about the geopolitical landscape at the time they were made. Status and fashion tends to contain items where supply lines are a mere trickle.

Right; but the point is that the optimizations didn't require an entirely new language; you just take the core logic and write it in an existing language that has decades of optimizations. If you're doing math; there's likely a natural, well defined interface that can be used, so you just call that interface from Python, which has historically always been the point of 'glue' languages :)

We have to stop playing this game and pretending like RTO is some hidden innovation-building gem that no one is aware about that turns failing businesses into Fortune 100 powerhouses.

People in the 90s had it figured out - if you want people to get together to discuss important issues, it's called a business trip. No, you don't need to do it for every sprint or feature proposal. Do it in moderation, 2-3 times a year, and let people live where they want to live (usually next to their families).
Only an Apple engineer could answer this fully but here are some of my ideas as to why this hasn't been done yet:

-They still support playback on devices with no TEE. Kinda defeats the point of implementing it until this is the case.

- They are wary of moving more functionality into their TEE as it increases the attack surface.

- If the platform is already "attested" and locked down as it is the case today, moving the playback to the TEE provides only a little bit of extra security.

- They are banking on the ARM Realm Management Extension[0] coming to their chips. This would be more of a "catch all" solution to fuck over the owners of their machines in new and exciting ways.

Agreed. Our customers on the regulated side cannot use an unexplainable UI like that by law.

We take a middle ground with louie.ai of showing the database queries, data transforms, chart config, and any other decision or generation. It's nice being able to watch & check each step and then write in natural language what you want changed, so ends up feeling more like the easier side of pair programming than a blackbox.
> At the end of the day, mojo's pay to play programming language harkens back to the early 90's Borland days.

I didn’t address this in my other post. Modular is about to release a freely available SDK. Also, the standard library sources will be open sourced shortly. There are hints of additional open source initiatives.

Modular’s main business plan appears to be adding value in the general area of AI, AI training, and AI deployment, including by offering SAAS. That plan in no way conflicts with (and in fact encourages) an open Mojo language ecosystem.

Personally worked with oklab and several other LAB spaces. Oklab is fantastic for cutting into simple computations!
The US has some of the best healthcare providers in the world. They also have some very bad ones. But gains are harder to achieve than losses in healthcare, so when you average in the bottom of the barrel you get some bad numbers even if both the median and the best available provider is above the international average.

Basically, healthcare quality in places that are both very rural and very poor (e.g. West Virginia and Mississippi) can be awful and it brings down the average even though the system provides better outcomes for most people in most other parts of the US.
