We don't expect these things, we merely observe them. Indeed, the fact that QM is linear and hence time-reversible is violently at odds with everyday experience, so it is emphatically not the case that we "expect" these things. This just turns out to be how they are. The tensor product is merely the most compact description of these observations, kind of like how untyped lambda calculus turns out to be a compact description of universal computation (which is also not a thing that one would a priori expect).
What fraction of the total is TensorFlow related code?
That was a fantastic article and some amazing sleuthing! Thank you for tracking it down. A quarter of the way into the article I needed to know why that bridge was there, and I’ve never been to Minnesota and have no relatives there :-)

Anyway, your solution to the mystery was very insightful and probably applies to many domains of inquiry.
Most of the point of running your own Gitea instance is to help move FOSS away from GitHub's stranglehold. A proper federation protocol for the decentralized alternatives would be far more useful for that goal than enabling GitHub OAuth.
> and statistically nobody uses it that way.

Git cannot be used in any other way. When you clone a repository, you make a new repository, with references to the previous one that can optionally be interacted with (pull, push, etc).

Unfortunately git hosting and communication related to git repositories (merge requests, issues) have become almost completely centralized over time, but those are mostly outside of git itself, even in the traditional model (HTTP, SMTP).
I have programming experience, but that's actually why I prefer Csound. Since Csound's engine is effectively oriented around building up instruments in a modular way, I feel it can simply be wrapped up into more general purpose programming languages to get a language with the power of the more modular synth engine.
Quite appreciate the naming of this project

I used to just keep a folder full of plain text files but recently (as in the last 2 weeks) moved to obsidian and the ability to add some simple markup (headings, code snippets) as well as search the content of the files easily has been a game changer.

Also it's just a thoughtfully designed, nice to use app (if you aren't an electron hater.. I daily drive VSCode, postman and Slack so am certainly not).

>In a good pairing environment everyone is learning from everyone. You didn't explicitly say you were looking to learn for others though you also didn't explicitly say you weren't.

Well that's the thing. The only reason I'm in a senior position at this company is because I never stopped asking questions and I still don't stop asking questions and learning from people more knowledgeable than me. I used to spend hours sitting at one guys desk just asking questions and listening to rants and just gathering knowledge.

I learned that this was the fastest way to progress and get better at the job, but I'm not finding that juniors and other less experienced devs are doing the same thing because they're worried about wasting people's time. And people are less likely to encourage this behaviour because they have high priority work. I got away with it when I joined the company because the rate of change was so much lower and so things generally just took longer.
There is a section on the page that tells you (near the bottom): 16% of all uncompressed data in PyPI is from the Tensorflow project.
Just thinking about this, I feel like it maps well to skill level driven stuff - you have recreational people who are easy going, those at the top who are secure, and the "petty little men" (to borrow from my experience with my high school teachers) who have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove.

I don't think it maps entirely to business / work though, where you can find insecure jerks at the highest levels. I was thinking about the *Gervais* "psychopath, confused, losers" framework that largely makes sense to me, and how the lanes would map. I don't think it's 1:1, as in the psychopaths are notionally the A-laners but they can still be insecure and jerks. The confused are probably the B-laners, though it's not clear they're all petty little men. And I think the losers map to the C and D just fine (note if you aren't familiar with the framework, losers isn't meant to be derogatory).

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-...

Anyway, just my initial thought.

Edit: I suppose it's a stereotype more than an iron law, there are presumably jerk A-laners and nice B-laners.

I think this game got unfairly caught in the crossfire (a sort of dead weight loss of consistently enforcing a policy), but it's easy to imagine Steam drowning in low-effort, slapdash games cranked out using AI. Like the junk you see on mobile, where the games are often "minimal viable ad platforms" rather than a "minimal playable games" (and one would hope for more than the minimum, anyway).

Though the top level comment asserting this is probably more about copyright than quality is probably right as well.

The only app that has been crashing or freeze, on my Fedora box these last few years is a Microsoft app: Edge.
Most of iCloud is, by default, not end to end encrypted. The e2ee is opt in and approximately nobody uses it.

Apple can and does read most of the data in iCloud (due to it lacking e2ee by default) including all your iMessages, all your iMessage attachments/photos, all your iCloud photos, all your call logs, all your iCloud files, all your contacts, calendars, etc. iMessage's e2ee is effectively backdoored by all the iMessage sync keys being backed up in the non-e2ee iCloud Backup.

Apple turns over user data (including all of the aforementioned) for 17,000+ user accounts to the US government without a search warrant under the FISA (aka PRISM) system. They turn over even more user data on top of that each year when provided with actual search warrants - the 17k users figure is just the ones without search warrants!

They don't protect most of the data in iCloud from themselves, and Apple is forced to spy for their national government thanks to Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act (FAA702), which allows the US to read anything in iCloud without probable cause or a search warrant - point and click access.
Nice, tax dollars at work building sites that were never asked for.

Not the original commenter, but if the code is as messy as the blog post states, a fork might not be the ideal choice. Might be better to start cutting out libraries, then implement bespoke, feature-specific applications on top of them.

On the second point, I can comfortably pull 50-100 amps for an inverter from those terminals. I believe the DC-DC is 2500W on my car - I have an early model X which is over specified in many regards.

Hah, sounds like a fun debugging session!

Those are exactly the kinds of problems I've encountered with "too many processors for too few resources". At the workplace where we used Java we used a library called Quasar which implements green threading resembling Rust async (it rewrites the bytecode into a state machine). I remember encountering a very similar deadlock, except the issue was caused by certain green threads "handing over" database connections to other green threads, and in the process yielding to the scheduler. Under high churn there was a chance that all connections ended up in the suspended set, causing a deadlock when other tasks were trying to allocate. It took a couple of days to track down because attaching a debugger and even printing caused the issue to go away.

Your example is also a fun one, but to me it actually shows exactly why an unbounded/dynamic number of processing units are an issue. Coroutines are the extreme example where you are almost encouraged to launch as many tasks as you can.
Steam is already hard to browse because of a sea of low quality shovelware. AI, if that's what the comment is referring to, is likely to make that situation much worse and degrade the platform. And Steam gets that.
I concluded that the author is an outsider (to craftsmanship) looking through the glass at an accessible insider (grandfather).

Whether the grandfather was, or would consider himself to be an insider, we can’t glean and don’t know, respectively.

It’s a sort of longing piece, and that’s OK, but not what I expected going into it!
> we are not talking about small, medium or large corporations.

Doesn't matter. The point is that there is no threshold in a company's revenue where they start to exploit all tools and opportunities at their reach. Large corporations aren't any more inherently evil than your local gas pump or convenience store.

> Corporate management gets approved their remuneration from shareholders. If they don't deliver they get the boot.

That's not what happens in real life. There is far more to the CEO-Board-shareholders relationship than simplistic "they can give him the boot" take.
It's a good thing that pushing air at the speed of sound is not how you make sonic booms. You need to physically move an object at a supersonic speed to make a sonic boom.

So when you cast doubt on the claim that claps do not involve sonic booms you then have the burden of proof to demonstrate that a hand has supersonic motion. Please provide your argument and stop wasting time with pointless rhetoric.
My intuition that got confirmed is that GPT fails at anything visual. Letters, shapes. It's trying but failing every time.

> Isn't this quite circular? People using code you publish publicly makes you reluctant to publish code publicly?

Not that I disagree with this project, but just to maybe help see it from a little different perspective...

When people publish their code, I think they typically expect it's going to be used like

import my_package
do_something_cool()

So it is a little weird when things like this come along and change that expectation.

It's kind of like, "I scanned millions of Facebook photos for soda cans to see if people prefer Pepsi or Coke!" People didn't post those photos be be part of a project, they just wanted to share some pictures with their friends.

I was refuting the idea that you can't live in your stock portfolio. You can if the dividend yield is less than the rent.
Maybe the tool doesn't support that.

Or maybe Tim didn't care about story points, he knew his worth, and he felt that if the company wanted to fire him on such an arbitrary metric, it wasn't a company worth working for anyways. In the end, he did well because he kept his job and the company dropped an inappropriate metric.
When you're the best (A lane) it's easy to be magnanimous or nice. Your reward was the win and that gives you all the peace of mind needed for this.

When you're the average or below average (C or D lanes) it's just as easy to be nice. Being far from the top means the competitive pressure is not as taxing and maybe even the effort is lower. In those lanes if you feel the pressure to be the best you can either become the best (winning is the reward), or learn to deal with it and "take it easy" (playing the game is the reward), or since you're pretty far from the top you can give up to relieve the pressure (not feeling the pressure is the reward).

But the B lane can be a bit of hell. You are competitive, you are so close to the top, and yet so far. Becoming the best is hard, giving up is just as hard, and learning to live with this "close but no cigar" situation is hard. Second best is the worst place to be. Almost all of the effort and qualifications, sometimes even more, none of the laurels. The most frustrating position. Nobody remembers the second best. All that might build up to a less than pleasant attitude.

Once you see it you recognize it all over the place. The player from the winning team offers to help his opponent up but never the other way around. The second best student is always far less happy than the one who just passed by the skin of their teeth. The candidate who won an election shakes his opponent's hand while the opponent is broken.
FAANG type compensation doesn't come from "raises", it comes from good yearly performance bonuses.

The main argument for government subsidies to college education is that it more than pays for itself due to higher earnings and taxes paid by college graduates. If college is so effective in increasing earnings, borrowers should be able to repay their loans from those earnings. The Federal government should stop lending money for college. College costs would drop if it did, and private lenders would lend to good risks -- good students studying things likely to land them well-paying jobs. The article has less ambitious but more politically feasible recommendations:

"Lawmakers should see this as an opportunity to fix the problems that got the federal student-loan program into its current state. Start by making colleges financially responsible for unpaid student loans, as a disincentive to loading students up with debt they can’t repay. In addition, Congress should cap or eliminate currently unlimited loans to graduate students and parents of undergraduates, which are most responsible for rises in total outstanding debt."

Stuff like this with NFS was my living nightmare for years. On Linux it would put processes into the D state and you'd have to restart the entire machine to fix anything.
Or maybe people's ability to attend is simply a function of the economy, which is currently in high interest rate territory. The cost to attend is the equivalent of a trip to Europe for a week or a month, depending on how you roll. With things how they are, people simply can't take the time off work or afford to go.

CIA Love Traps Lured Diplomats (1975)
It was 80,000 employees, not agents (Revenue Agents or CI Agents), the total includes IT, customer service, return processing/mailroom, legal research/appeals, HR, etc. across the entire organization.

Fun fact, the IRS has people that go out to oil refineries and make sure the transfers are being reported accurately and tax-free diesel is dyed correctly. They have people who advise the State Department on negotiating tax treaties.

Additionally, the total was an estimate of how many employees could be hired through 2031, including backfilling positions. Over half of all IRS employees are currently eligible for retirement, so significant departures are expected in the coming years.
Yep, I feel this is a general broken thing about our industry. I'm very against the whole, "let juniors do easier stuff," mentality. I'm also very against the "you must make big disruptive changes in order to get ahead," as well. The latter often results in people just looking in the wrong places to try and improve things, often by introducing complexity instead of removing it.

I'm pretty jaded by it all. These days I work for a company whose primary business isn't technology and I'm much happier.

For syncing, you can either pay for Obsidian Sync ($10 per month, which is a bit pricy)

Other than that, Syncthing works well on Android/Windows/Mac, but I heard Syncthing on iOS is not that great.
Amazon books published after some date in 2023 have new formatting/encryption.

Food and water are everywhere until they are not.

70k ppl consume a vast quantity of food and water every hour. Once stuff runs out things get dicey very fast. Yes another week would almost surely lead to that eventuality - but when is the tipping point exactly? Hard to know.

Food ppl can manage without for a couple of days, but water is a different matter. Many camps may be relying on regular top ups of their water cube, and camp mates may not bring reserves because of the camp provided water. If water cannot get into BRC then you have a simple maths problem - water on playa / ppl on playa = time.
neither arid India nor the north of China had enough water. China may hope to achieve some strategic control over the big Baikal Lake's reservoir in a near future probably.

This is interesting because no you didn't ask me what it tells us. You asked if I wanted to say something and I answered that the quote stands alone.

If, as a company, you’re expecting all your employees to be opsec experts you either have 1 employee or you are planning to fail. This is like that bullshit fake “phishing” email corporate IT departments send out as a test. The only thing it proves is your attack surface is too large.
That's why the IRS is proposing an automatic preparation option, not "the government sending you a bill." The legal distinction between what their program initially suggests and what you file remains, and is deeply baked into the tax code.

Because you're pushing the code to GitHub, so they need to enumerate their rights in terms of what they can do with it once you push it there. But if you publish your code to PyPi, the relevant ToS is the PyPi ToS, which has no such clause forbidding either PyPi or others from using the code how they'd like to (and as mentioned by other comments in this thread, the ToS actually explicitly grants others the right to republish the code).
This was fascinating, and also a nice check. I think I'm over optimistic on A.I. which showed in my score.

I was a colleague of these guys at Thoughtworks and my favorite most relatable tidbit was telling client managers “no”.

High performance teams at Thoughtworks really had almost full autonomy over how they worked. At a particular credit card bank in Delaware circa 2006, Jay Fields and I demanded (and got) flat screen monitors, our own conference room to use as a dedicated bullpen and most importantly, unfettered access to the open internet via custom holes in their firewall. Crazy times.
I worked with a copywriter who did similar stuff and made the team tick. It was great to watch him effortlessly get everyone doing the right thing for the project and it worked both ways, he'd communicate effectively with the dev why we needed to hack things and with the business about getting us extra time for certain things. It lead to a better project with a manageable amount of technical debt.

He was let go and the project became a lot less successful and enjoyable, once he was gone a large group left soon afterwards...
