The parallels aren't that similar.

"Radio" played an infinitesimally small amount of the music that was being produced. If you wanted to discover new music, the last thing you'd do is turn to the radio. Spotify is both 'radio' and a music discovery service, and global in nature, so its impact is much greater. And unlike radio stations that tend to specialize in a certain sound (pop, classical, rock, jazz, hiphop), Spotify mixes everything together. A lot of contemporary music is 'genre-less' as a result. That was never the case with radio.

If you're already comfortable with Python, check out Hissp's tutorials (in the docs). It's a Lisp hosted on Python, so you can focus on the Lisp concepts without getting so bogged down by learning a new standard library at the same time.

That's a good motif. I like it. When you put it together like that, it's a good body of work. I love how photographers and artists in general can pick a theme and just run with it, exploring and producing many works relating to it. Like the guy who originally took the city miniatures photos, or the Japanese guy who took long exposures through welding glass, that British guy and his blot spin paintings (Hersch), or Murakami and his Mr DoB or flowers, or the dots of Kusama, or the moody younglings of Nara, even Picasso and Dali produced many works in such theme series. When someone finds something like that and just goes with it, and it becomes successful, it's great to see.

It's still unclear to me if that is the right direction or a scalable solution.

Seeing how far prompt engineering can get you on this from (specifying the grammar as a one/few shot) does pretty well, it seems like something that could be better handled at training/refining time? My general feeling is that it is inserting a specific and complicated cog, and probably has to be tweaked for each model (as they all have their little quirks)

Curious what you think having been working directly on these things?

From my experience, you can get an LLM to follow a "grammar" for pretty much anything, without it being an actual grammar spec in one of the many formats. You can pretty much make it up. Here's an example of us getting CUE out of a model by giving "tricking" the LLM to generate JSON with less syntax (a subset of both CUE and JSON). Bonus, fewer quotes and commas meant fewer tokens. We turn this into JSON afterwards, works surprisingly well

Experimenting on customers and soft-abandoning products and services by depriving them of support until the day they can legally move on is their bread and butter.

I think what you're picking up on is that people in leadership positions have to communicate to very different audiences.

As a first approximation, just think of the size of the destination audience:

- if it's a few people, the language will sound direct and casual

- if it's many thousands, millions (likely to include government, investors, customers) then it will sound formal, corporate, "PR"

Because we're more often likely to be in the 2nd category, we're used to hearing senior leaders sound like their words have been carefully edited.

But we shouldn't be surprised that when we get a glimpse of their comms in smaller settings, it sounds "just like us".

Absolutely love this chipset. It powers my favorite tech of 2023.

The 7840U is a beast in handhelds, and the 7940HS likewise in laptops and mini PCs. They're great for gaming, media, productivity, and anything you throw at it. Intel cannot compete with the performance and TDP of these. AMD is completely dominating the portable x86 segment, so much so, that I'm not envious of Apple's dominance of ARM. Can't wait to see the next generation of this chipset, as well as whatever Intel can produce in response.
That's good to know, on both fronts. I'm glad people are switching on to the issues with plastics alright, even if it's a bit later than it ought to be - slapping a recycling icon on everything and telling people to carry on was a bit of a cynical bait and switch from the plastic manufacturers, given that at most like 5% of it ever got recycled.
An oldies band from the 1940s, The Ink Spots, would play a 3-second bass guitar melody before every song. Back then, if the DJ did not announce the name of the band or song, the melody would act as an identifier.
I'm no lawyer, but this is context-dependent. I have worked in companies where all emails not legally required to be retained longer were auto-deleted after 90 days, Zoom was auto-deleted after 24 hours, and getting any kind of persistent chat was an utter ass-pain, all because Legal was paranoid about liability.
The hook comes before the chorus, and it's very good. But I think the Kinks' You Really Got Me from the previous year (1964) hits harder out of the gate.

Many rock songs start with great hooks/riffs though. I am particularly fond of 20 foot tall guitar riff hooks/intros as practiced by classic hard rock and metal bands, often by doubling the riff/hook on lead guitar and bass.

Rock bands seem to excel at intros, and even the lengthy ones can be riveting.

And some song intros are so great that they overshadow the rest of the song.
This party booking is the opposite of a scam. Calling it such is libelous.
Don't forget the 12" disco versions of songs in the 70's and 80's! The disco version was lengthened and mixed with a much heavier bass line. The grooves on a 12" single were spaced further apart to accommodate this.

First: I'm happy that Steam has put effort into Linux!

Then, as a bit of a tangent:

Windows only has a "monopoly" on PC gaming because Apple refuses to licence their operating system for non-Apple hardware - and because Linux just isn't mainstream enough.

If you could buy OSX just like you can buy Windows and install it on your home built PC, I'm confident the landscape would at least be somewhat different.

(It is certainly possible to install osx yourself on your own PC hardware, if you put your pirate hat on and are happy with massively outdated GPU drivers etc - or at least it was half a decade ago when I checked last).

Of course Apple would also have to develop some care for gamers.
I'm very curious to see how this works out in the Kotlin ecosystem, given the amount of async code out there (and the associated function coloring issues).
Rates went up and changed where businesses put their money.

Let's say your company has an idea that they are pretty sure can make a 2% return each year. If they can borrow money at 1% interest, it makes sense to borrow money to fund that project. When rates go up and loans now have 6% interest, borrowing money to fund that project no longer makes sense. On top of that, if they can park money in something like bonds and get a guaranteed 4% return, it actually makes more sense to just shut that project down and put the money in the bank since that's a higher return with lower risk.

The company in the scenario will actually make even more with less people since parking money in the bank doesn't require employees to get a return.

That's a super simplified version of what has happened. When the safe assets give small returns it makes sense to take risks because the alternatives pay so little. When safe assets give big returns appetite for risk goes down and money flows to safe investments.

To put this another way, if you put one million dollars in the bank for 10 years at 1% interest, you'll have a little over 1.1 million dollars at the end of ten years. That same million dollars at 6% interest will be worth just under $1.8 million after ten years. To justify taking that money out of the bank you've gone from needing a 10% return to an 80% return.
> In my experience, Svelte did a much better job and is closer to vanilla html/js

I just looked at some Svelte examples and it's a mix of magic keywords (on, bind) with magic symbols (: | @) and new, completely unrelated syntax to both JS and HTML (#each, #if, :else). I guess it looks way more idiomatic if you have an IDE that highlights and lints it correctly. React with its few rules of hooks seems way closer to vanilla JS.

I feel exactly the same way, sadly.

I sometimes sense in people a degree of enjoyment in the process of tinkering with Linux on a Mac (or any other hardware) to make it function properly. This mirrors the satisfaction programmers often find when grappling with a compiler or achieving the ideal abstraction. However, it seems that this sense of accomplishment, while valuable in its own right, shouldn't be derived from the tools I use for my primary tasks. I prefer my machine to just work, so I can focus on addressing higher-level, more significant challenges.

I say this as someone who would be absolutely delighted if a few distros just worked 100% seamlessly on an MBP or similar. That would be a dream honestly.
Adjustable brightness has been available for M1 devices for about a year now and I forget how long for M2. Before you go and install I'd wait for this Arch Linux ARM -> Fedora switch to finalize in the next couple of weeks though.

2001 Boeing paper, Out-Sourced Profits: The Cornerstone of Successful Subcontracting, is a required reading. This article gives a good introduction.

Trust me, I looked up dozens of references. All would mysteriously halt after several files - known issues with how the Archiver library works, and none with any kind of fix, basically a data race within the library itself. Node's streams and promises are far too complex for far too little added benefit, and leads to broken concurrency in a multitude of libraries, and I'd had enough.

As for startup time - the latency isn't that important and would be an order of magnitude less than the ZIP construction, so the JVM warmup delay is actually just fine. The cost will be slightly higher, but it's not an operation I expect to run with high regularity - it's only on-demand for a reasonably small userbase.

As for complexity - which I am able to weigh due to the above constraints - Java's streams are not only simpler in design, but vastly more stable, and far more straightforward to glue together, and with highly stable implementations of ZIP stream wrappers and output-input pipes. A couple of additional stream wrappers for chunking into multipart upload segments and forwarding streams (introduced in JVM 9 when I'm on 8), and I was ready to go.

All that to say: don't create universal rules, though I agree that all of what you mention are good rules of thumb for certain. My given constraints work just fine with Java, here.
Maybe I should be more clear.

This thread was in the context of go generics, which generally means go 1.18, when user defined generics were added to the language. Go always had support for a minimal number of containers, I've never rolled my own when working in the language.

Go had special compiler support for slices, maps, and channels before then, and they got used as the default containers for everything.

Using those was annoying when you needed to do the same thing to, say, a slice of strings and a slice of ints, but if you aren't using a generic heavy style, it actually comes up surprisingly rarely. And, if I'm being honest, I'd consider most of the uses of generics I've seen the average enterprise dev use to be mistakes.
They left out the most important category, profits. Cut functional costs to improve margins. Do less with lower quality machines and labor.

I'm using firefly for the first time on a paid academic account and Im immediately struck at how good it is at making graphic / illustrative images, but it seems to be at the cost of photographic / photorealistic images. ie I can't proompt engineer it into non-illustrative non-stylized images with "realistic photograph of..." etc

I noticed the same thing with SDXL, DALL-E, Midjourney etc. It makes 100% sense from a business / tool standpoint but I miss the weird raw-internet vibe of Stable Diffusion <2 and other early versions of these tools. Could totally be my limited testing / imagination too.

In any case it seems to be a capable illustrator, but I'm not surprised they're setting up a credit system. They must have put an insane amount of work to be first to ship on a big AI image editing suite.
Let the one who throws the first stone at the “closed / won’t fix” manager, themselves be the person that has to fix it.
Interesting idea. What use cases would this make easier or even possible? At first, it sounds like more work (you’re now your own CA but without full freedom of a truly self hosted one).
By enterprise I mean a lot of features related to data consistency, scalability and integrations.

I do not know about go ecosystem, but java and spring have mature solutions that cover the most advanced use cases.

That's like my approach to growing as a photographer. It's not like I've picked just one thing but I have a few themes that I develop.

For instance one day I was getting bored with photography and then it hit me that my office overlooks the sports complex of my Uni, in fact I used to watch the baseball team train until they rolled up the astroturf and started building a new building for the computer science department

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111032523990407236

I figured I'd take up sports photography and go to at least one game of absolutely every Varsity team my Uni has because... I can, it's not like it is expensive or requires long travel or any real difficulty but it sure takes me into situations where I lack skills and equipment and have the reason to develop it. In the meantime I am thinking more about taking related pictures based on small themes like

I wasn't trying to say that Apple's platform is remarkably stable, only that there's no evidence it is particularly unstable. Even if their next GPU architecture requires a more or less complete re-write of the drivers, that on its own still wouldn't justify considering Apple's platform to be more of a moving target than the PC/Wintel platform—though it would bolster complaints about the necessity of reverse engineering rather than having documentation available (complaints that apply just as much against NVIDIA's GPUs). It'll probably take at least one or two more generations of Apple hardware before one can reasonably accuse them of being a constantly moving target. For now, the best evidence we have to go on is the fact that it took Asahi about a week to bring M2 support up to parity with the M1 support they had at that time.
This. The other problem is that as academia becomes a careerist pressure cooker of competition, where the actual science takes a back burner and you’re incentivized to churn out high-likelihood-to-succeed but not-actually-profound science… why even go into academia?

Personally, I’d have loved to be a part of the Academia of the mid 20th century. But my exposure to research 10 years ago (thankfully, before committing to a PhD) quickly taught me that it’d be extremely unfulfilling, difficult, and poorly compensated compared to private industry. It would be cool to be a tenured professor I guess, but the coolness and prestige of that title is riding the coattails of the past when academia was less of a slog.

I get to work on novel CS problems (distributed systems) in my FAANG job without having to publish X papers per year while I progress on the actual meaty problems, for a lot more pay. It’s just strictly better IMO. I’d rather take 3 years from beginning to end to finish something new I’m actually proud of that’ll be used by hundred of millions of people, than be forced to publish papers very few people will read at a regular cadence or lose my job.

There was stuff that was always slow, stuff that involved processing a whole lot of data. Like building, or archiving, or generating reports etc. People wanted faster computers for that. UI was not slow, text editing was not slow, networking was not slow (WWW was, of course, because loading GIFs on dialup took time, but telnet connections into a box with less compute and less memory than my home router has nowadays were snappy). User interaction used to be real-time, non-interactive data-crunching tasks were really slow.

Needless to say calling this project Horcrux is just silly: it should be named after some other fictional story which requires all of the pieces to be assembled (like the new Starfield story I think).

You're claiming radio didn't really affect discovery, when radio music discovery was being regulated by federal law and driving congressional hearings by the 1950s.
