Completely and utterly false. Even a slave owns his own mind and how it reacts to things. (Insert Stoic spiel here.) And it is best to cultivate a mind which is in accordance with the Serenity Prayer.

Another thing entirely is what you formally own. I mean as in by-law, not some aspirational or motivational bullshit. And someone is trying to manipulate you if they try to foist the responsibilities of ownership onto you (even if it is just in your own mind—staying late, fretting about it in the shower, etc.) by encouraging “taking ownership” without actually physically letting you own it.

> Owning what you’re working on (and refusing to work for someone who won’t let you) is usually a key part of mental health and actual real world success for everyone.

RAM is easy. The hard part is making the unified memory SOC like Apple's. From what I know, Apple performance is almost magic. And whatever Apple is making, they are at peak capacity already and they can't make more even if they want to. Nobody else has a comparable technology. Apple is in its own league.

replying to my sibling commentor, vel0city:

My neighborhood has had dozens of outages over the past few years, the worst of which was nearly a week-long outage during the now-infamous freeze.

So yeah, energy is cheap, but same areas are hit harder than others in terms of reliability.

The energy company’s reasoning for these dozens of small blackouts is “grid upgrades” - that’d be great if true, but who really knows.
> What's the cause, specifically?

Home price gains that have far outstripped inflation or the average wage all have the same cause wherever it happens in any developed country. It's entirely self-inflicted, on one end by policies that favor home ownership by privileging it above other kinds of assets (mortgage interest deduction, etc.), and on the other by policies that deter simply building more, whether to fight gentrification, preserve the character of the neighborhood, or reduce environmental impact.

You're not disagreeing with parent commenter and could both be correct!

At some point, they will expect, then demand returns on their investments, then your focus will mostly be on the professional offering, while the community product gets less love.

It's not a condemnation of your as an individual or your organization: this cycle has played out many times via VC or acquisition.
If prices were perfectly liquid and symmetrical, sure. Unfortunately they're not and the system is pretty complex. There's a bunch of different ways to purchase energy and not all of them are sensitive to realtime price.

Establishing a separate mechanism to compensate "virtual" generation (via load reduction) works no matter what pricing structure I use for my typical energy purchases.

The respectfulness of Harold Beck's account adds to its credibility. He comes off as an admirer of Katherine Johnson, not someone who is jealous of her accomplishments.

I'm not sure if this document counts as bravery on the part of Charles Murray, or more an acknowledgement that he has very little left to lose among those who would critique this critique.

"Finally, we will use the additional funds to accelerate go-to-market initiatives and customer support in selected areas."

Anytime I see the business speak 'accelerate go-to-market initiatives', the company is at its end-game. Any time a leader has to call that out, they are admitting they need to spend a substantial sum of money to solve a problem a small group of kids in a garage can do with some Red Bull.

A big problem is that they didn't really innovate.

Companies like Adafruit, Sparkfun, and Pimoroni leapfrogged their hardware products, and eventually ended up developing their own ecosystems when it turned out that the Arduino IDE was more of a liability than a boon.

They were a no-brainer in 2005-2010, but why buy from Arduino in 2023 when you can get a newer product with more features at a lower price from their competitors?
Very cool!

The point of textual is, from what I can tell, making simple and fast UIs very easy to develop. Running in a terminal also makes keyboard input easy, so why reinvent that wheel?

The Arduino is very expensive on the context of mass-produced circuits.

I'm not sure there is enough potential for low-scale IoT for that investment to pay off. But doing something cheaper can indeed work, and requires some money.

Too bad they aren't explaining what they'll do. The buzzword density of the article doesn't add any confidence that the company managers know what they are doing, but it could be a smoke screen.

What does the contract say about costs to replacing broken meters?

The "answer" here is either to suck it up (which will happen) or, if you allow room for it, it starts with little acts of violence and ends with effective change or full blown riots

If you have no ability to change the outcome, or no benefit/loss depending on the outcome, it’s pretty hard to say someone owns anything.

It someone will suffer the consequences of an outcome with no ability to change anything (or make decisions), that’s just making someone a scapegoat.

If someone can make decisions/do things but will not benefit from or lose anything from the outcome, then I’m not sure what they are (judge? Arbitrator? Ruler?) - but they don’t own the thing.
Reality is it is a tight tension between affording a job that is interesting (ie small teams, interesting work, low TC) vs patience for minutiae of politicking, dealing with sociopaths, working on bowels of legacy systems at a big co (with satisfying TC). Even at faangs (especially?) You are working 9999->9999.1 type projects. Even getting to an interesting project or team needs so much networking and branding clout. Now if your question is why do I need the TC - well I guess I made some wrong life choices in going for luxuries like getting a family, a home to live in etc :).

Btw I resonate with not having the patience for bs jobs. Thankfully I don't have ADHD (I think) but working on something I dont enjoy is such a struggle that I have to think of it is a checklist of chores i have to get through the day for the reward at the end - working on side projects in the night! Sad I know.

When attempting to login to your Microsoft account, instead of typing your password you can do an optional "one time password" generation thing from Microsoft. So instead of typing your password +2FA - they email you a 6 digit "one time password" that you can use instead.

You cant disable this.

So all Microsoft accounts could have a daily 1 in 1 million chance of been overtaken.

Odds are low - but if you then spam this across thousands of attempts per day - they would statisically "get lucky" from time to time...

Physical knobs and buttons are great for muscle memory. How much of a muscle memory do you have for the controls setting mirror position? For setting fade/balance on the stereo? Enabling valet mode?

The UI question is only valid for controls used frequently. For everything else, I think it is already settled that they are better in the screen. At the very least, for the sake of UI simplicity. I can't imagine a physical interface for enabling or disabling every driving assistance option in a Tesla. It'd become an airliner button panel.

That's not an advantage that is exclusive to TUIs; after all, you're running your TUI inside a graphical application that emulates a terminal. (Unless you're rocking an actual VT102, in which case I bow down to you.)

In fact there's an entire class of applications that are extremely snappy and keyboard driven, by their very nature: games.

Some people have taken to writing GUI apps like you'd write a game, and the effects range from OK to fantastic. Check out Lagrange (https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/), AppManager (https://tildegit.org/solene/AppManager), Dear ImGUI (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui), egui (https://github.com/emilk/egui), and many others.
Saying they're "providing a service" by turning off in peak times is kind of a ridiculous phrasing. Normal consumers in normal markets don't buy at peak because peak pricing is quite expensive. Flipping the equation to paying people to not buy something and calling it a service is outrageous. It exposes the grid as something that literally cannot work on free market principles. People are right to be outraged.
> TUIs being constrained to just text means that they are most likely 100% usable with a keyboard.

Anecdata: a long time ago, I worked for people trying to sell a (physical) ad-system to Titan and they made a whizzy web UI for booking adverts on their system. Problem was that Titan already had a TTY booking system and their ad bookers could whip through multiple bookings on that using the keyboard in less time than the whizzy web UI took to even load the first page...

I used to be a manager. Not a particularly good one, but I did earn a fair amount of loyalty with the team and they worked pretty hard.

And I did care about those things, so that went a long way.

The actual inference is not run in Python in PyTorch, and its usually not bottlenecked by it.

The problem is CUDA, not Python.

LLMs are uniquely suited to local inference in projects like GGML because they are so RAM bandwidth heavy (and hence relatively compute lite), and relatively simple. Your kernel doesn't need to be hyper optimized by 35 Nvidia engineers in 3 stacks before its fast enough to start saturating the memory bus generating tokens.

And yet its still an issue... For instance, llama.cpp is having trouble getting prompt ingestion performance in a native implementation comparable cuBLAS, even though they theoretically have a performance advantage by using the quantization directly.

The responses to this comment seem to miss a vital point that the comment is making: languages executed within a different primary language are usually opaque to the tools in use. Those tools are usually aimed purely at the primary language, not any secondary languages used within it. Tools for the secondary language are now much harder to use because they (usually) have to be invoked and used via the primary language.

If I’m working on a Python script which has some jq embedded in it, then these problems probably exist:

- My editor will only syntax colour the Python, and treat jq code as a uniform string with no structure

- My linter will only consider Python problems, not jq problems

- My compiler, which is able to show parsing errors at compile time rather than runtime, will not give me any parsing errors for jq until execution hits it (yes, Python has a compilation step)

- jq error messages that show a line number will give me a relative line number for the jq code, rather than the real line number for where that code lives in the Python file

- My debugger will only let me pause and inspect Python, and treat the jq execution as a black box of I/O

I’m discussing this as a jq problem, but this happens far more commonly with SQL inside any host language. No wonder ORMs are so popular: their value isn’t just about hiding/abstracting SQL, it’s about wrangling SQL as a secondary language inside a different primary one.

>This is obviously false given the underfunded states of pretty much all taxpayer funded pensions in the US.

You have confused two different but related issues. Let me be more explicit.

My pension fund provides all employees who join with certain benefits. Let's say over the course of 50 years we look at what it costs to provide these benefits in some constant dollars and it's 100 bucks. I claim that the cost for all employees using individual retirement accounts to achieve the same benefits as the pension, they would have to had paid e.g. 110 bucks. I can't prove this claim but can provide some explanation:

Each individual fund is much smaller and is paying much higher fees, both management fees and transaction type fees.

Each individual is much harder to insure than the group and has to go to a for-profit insurer to get an annuity (as they have with the DB pension). They pay the risk and for the insurer's profit.

Each individual has to manage pre-retirement market risk and pay a price to do so, e.g. they're using target date funds and the money is in low-yield bonds for the last few years before they retire, losing returns at exactly the time it's most costly.

The question of funding is separate. It's up to my employer to decide if they want to set aside the whole 100 bucks up front that the pension costs or if they only want to set aside 80 bucks. So, either the pension is fully funded, or 20 short, either way it's cheaper.
I'm in the process of moving away from Ubuntu, but this is a pretty cool feature. I've seen a tutorial here and there about how to manually set up LUKS with a TPM, but those have a downside of the TPM needing to be updated with every new kernel. I guess Ubuntu has found a way to integrate or work around that?
That's not how LLM's work. LLM's complete documents, they don't make statements about LLM's unless you explain to them how they should do it and give them all the information they need. If you could extract the information from an LLM well enough to supply that to an LLM with an explanation on how to summarize the behaviour of the LLM to a human, we would have already done that to a PhD student instead. A PhD student is a little bit slower than an LLM, but they require a lot less explanation.

In any case, looking at and understanding how a neural network encodes information is like gene editing. Perhaps you could isolate a gene in the human genome that achieves something interesting like giving a child blue eyes. But even if you would do that, there's a chance you break something else if you modify that gene and give the child health risk. Since all neurons in a deep neural network are interconnected, there is a butterfly effect in it that makes them inherently somewhat of a black box.
Here you are defining a new function, not composing two functions.

But if you consider a program implementation of pure functions, this might not be true; for example f and g use a quantity of RAM, but the RAM used by f o g exceeds your computer RAM and thus explodes.
Or, if we work with objects, some values (e.g. internal values of the object, or context values) may be changed that make the final result of f o g different from what you would normally expect.

The promise of working "functionally" is to avoid the second class of problems. For the first class this is just a problem of computer systems, but pure functions means that the memory should be able to be reclaimed efficiently. And for the limits of computability theory (like the halting problem), nothing works except oracle machines, but no startup has ever delivered a functional one!
