I get your take here, but as someone who's worked very hard at times to optimize builds (amongst other things), the business just generally doesn't respect those efforts and certainly doesn't reward them. Often times they're actively punished with a reflexive assumption that they're not "serious" efforts worth the time of the business. (There's the odd exception, but this is very widespread in my experience)

Sure, there's a balance to be made between cutting wood and sharpening the saw. Who do we blame when the boss-man won't allow anyone to sharpen the tools even though we're obviously wasting outrageous amounts of time? You blame the people that won't allow those investments to be made.

When you multiply that across an entire industry, add some trendy fashionable tech (that's also just fast-enough to be tolerable), and this is how we end up in the shitty circumstance you describe.

And yet I still wouldn't trade my fancy IDE and slow CI pipelines for a copy of Turbo Pascal 7, as fast as it would be!
This is ahistorical. iPods were locked to a specific iTunes library at a time when other players acted as mass storage devices, drag and drop.

DRM-free didn't happen until after the iphone [0]

iPod was a better product with better marketing, but it was not freer (libre) than its competition. (Personally I liked my creative Zen with Yahoo unlimited subscription [1]- DRM was a feature! Spotify wouldn't come along for another 5 or 6 years)

I wish someone would ban all "zero emissions" and "zero carbon" branding, plus issued a hefty fines for all "green" and "clean" branding. For being dishonest liars.
Loras are 1 to hundreds of megs for sd15 (I've seen 1mb Lora and also 700mb Lora merges) and I think around 1gb+ for sdxl.

Hypernetworks exist as well for sd15 at least, they're up to I think around 80mb?
Modest proposal of 100% wealth tax at age 60, let's say with first 10 mln tax free. Can be used retirement for all 60 year olds. Immediately solves aging workforce problem as long as GDP doesn't shrink.

Right, the SEC’s guidance[1] on this specifies that merely trading on MNPI alone is not enough:

> Illegal insider trading refers generally to buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, on the basis of material, nonpublic information about the security.

If you have no fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, it’s not insider trading. So to my understanding, if you, say, overheard two execs chatting about this in an airport lounge you’d be free to trade on it.

Note: this only applies to the US! Different countries may define things differently.

99.99% that's insider trading.
They literally have one click pairing to the Wifi hotspot on an iPhone or iPad logged in to the same iCloud account. Everyone has a phone. Why increase the BOM?
AFAICT, cash rewards to an individual on expenses reimbursed by a company are taxable as income. Non-cash rewards are a bit of a gray area that the IRS believes to be taxable, but is currently agreeing to not pursue for the time being.
So is Apple. So is Starbucks. And really so is any large company with a "points card" system that lets you turn money into points or points into money.
This is a false dichotomy. golang is weak that things that should have been in the standard library end up being hardcoded (like maps).
My guess is rather that the underlying land was pushed to the sea over the years by the flow of water and sediments.
If it’s erased from clinical literature I want to know why. It’s entirely possible schizotaxia simply isn’t useful and the notion that it’s related to adhd, autism, etc. isn’t accurate. I know personally adhd and schizo-associated symptoms are quite different. Similarly anxiety and schizo-related hyperarousal/paranoia function differently also. I would consider myself as coming accross as autistic in my day to day life, but having spoken with autistic people my interiority is vastly different to theirs (I have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder).

Edited to add: it’s not that I am dismissing schizotaxia out of hand. I’m saying two different things. One, I would be interested to know why schizotaxia isn’t in medical literature. Two, as someone with a diagnosed schizophrenia spectrum disorder, I don’t feel a diagnosis of adhd, autism, or generalized anxiety wouldve fit me as a child due to what I understand about these conditions as a counter anecdotal.
that's what we're hoping happens! it should just work so you can get back to work

thanks for giving us a try :)
Unfortunately that is a common expectation for any engineer higher than junior level. It's a strange attempt to get engineers to own vertical slices of the company, as if they were managing their own business within the business.

The problem is that product owners and managers are not learning software engineering to better communicate, design etc., This is a one way street, engineers have more and more non-technical responsibilities until they are barely coding and then are forced to manage a team of junior engineers to do the code for them.
It's definitely suspicious and will probably be looked into. If it turns out it's a trader who regularly buys soon-to-be-expiring option calls, maybe it'll fly. But if the trade was made by someone who doesn't regularly make $20,000 options bets, they will need a good explanation.
Hotspot with the iPhone?
I agree with the premise of the article, but I’m not sure about the proposed solution.

Search relevance tuning is a thing. Learn how to use a search engine and combine multiple features into ranking signals with relevance judgement data.

I recommend the books “Relevant Search” and “AI Powered Search” (the latter of which I’m a contributing author).

You’ll find that having a well tuned retriever is the backbone for most complex text AI. Learn the best practices from people who have been in the field for years, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
isn't it closer to 400k?
could you enumerate them, please?
The statistical performance difference is somewhat irrelevant. The measure should really be the extra time spent optimizing your code, and that value can be far higher in React than it is in Svelte. It doesn't matter if the raw performance difference is only 20%—if that 20% means the difference between a smooth UX and a janky experience, it's still extra work you have to do with React that you don't need with Svelte.

Now, I'll grant you that it really depends on the project. Building a simple admin interface? This probably won't matter. But for an interactive dashboard with dynamic charts and data being updated in realtime? You're almost certainly going to spend some time making it fast. And optimizing React code is currently a pretty poor experience.

For the record, I'm not arguing that the performance difference alone makes Svelte worth using over React. In fact, I think the developer experience with Svelte is far better, which is (in the majority of cases) a much better reason to use a framework. I just want to dispel this myth that React is so fast that you'll likely never have to think about performance, because I've had to do a non-trivial amount of optimization work on just about every React codebase I've worked on.
As much as I dislike Google at a very deep level, this isn't Google's fault. That's like saying everyone who searches "how to dispose of a body" after murdering someone is somehow Google's fault.

Apple Maps's app icon showed a route off of a bridge for the longest time. Is Apple liable if people drive off a bridge, then?

I feel for the deceased's family but the local government or state government are at fault here.
divide and conquer, dealing with this problem in Canada Redditosphere atm, so much astroturfing going around. We need some next gen AutoMod improvements to deal with this bs.
> and somewhat often a bug would only manifest itself on a single cell tower.

I can easily understand different brands/products/generations having their quirks, but I'm struggling to imagine what the source of uniqueness could be for a single cell tower.

Is it a huge variety of config options, that certain combinations of settings turn out to be rare? Or is it literally just something broken like malfunctioning hardware?
Macrotrends has been pretty reliable in my experience. I am trying to verify the annual numbers:

https://s2.q4cdn.com/181345880/files/doc_financials/2022/q4/...

And page 63/64, it seems like Macrotrends is using “net income/loss” row and the “total operating income” row, and Google is also using the same, so not sure why the quarterly figures are different. Macrotrends does look erroneous here.

>And again, that doesn't address the fact their net profit margin has literally 0 relation to their profit margin on MY TICKET which is CONSIDERABLY higher than 11.72% on average.

Yes, the delta bosses are not considering the profit margin from your specific flights, but assuming the vast majority of their business is flights where their airline miles come into play, then I figured it is a good assumption that, on average, losing a flight costs them the around the same profit margin.

Of course it is possible they lose so many flights that it cuts into their fixed costs, but I assume they are smart enough to make those calculations.
I guess condensation is an issue with passive cooling in hot humid climates. But I did a search online and it seems there are quite a few effective strategies for cooling in hot humid countries that don't involve aircon. The house has to be designed with that in mind though.
> Wait, they needed testing late last year to figure out the chip was physically too big to be used in an iPhone?

The area that a chip takes up is the physical size of the part, any passives it needs, and the space to route the traces to connect them all and meet noise/emf specs.

It can take a very long time to figure out if a part is "too big" because it requires iterative design/redesign time by engineers, and it's not knowable before they begin working with the part.

Have them join the union then, or make it a program sponsored by the city workers (who else to better manage it anyways than those normally responsible for trash pickup?).

That was also apparently one of the reasons that NYC could “never” have containerized trash pickup like literally any other city in the US. Surprise! Despite that, and a million other “intractable issues”, the city has essentially switched to trash containerization pickup overnight, and everyone is better for it.
Don’t Be Shy – You Can Wear a Suit Whenever You Want
Nobody ever actually explains what requirements would be reasonable to drop and still maintain safety. Because it turns out a whole lot of them are expensive and necessary.

Skimp on containment building? You get Chernobyl. Skimp on wall and backup power? Fukushima. Skimp on relief valve? You get TMI, which while overall harmless was still expensive.

Thanks to Fukushima it got even more expensive, because now they concluded that backup power must be available quickly in the event of a disaster. Which means the availability of the required parts close enough and the ability to bring them by helicopter, if I recall correctly.
The Police is not a paper clip machine. As soon as they consume half of GDP taking more will decrease their funding since they don't produce anything.
> but I think it's shocking that someone would drive off a bridge that you can see is out from the air.

According to the article it was pitch-black and raining. How can you be "shocked" that someone would have worse ground visibility in those conditions compared to your clear-day aerial view?

And are you really "shocked" that you can notice a hole in the ground from the air easier than from in front of it?

There was a barricade for 9 years. It was removed 1 week before the accident.
Well, whatever the process is to cash out coins you mined could be used I assume? Such a person could likely afford top legal talent. Also, lotteries in many states require you to claim with your real name. A corporation could be used for bitcoin.
Mozilla's brand is not a browser, it's privacy and digital freedom.
It's difficult to use China for a comparison.

Chinese labor is cheaper. If I know that Chinese solar farms or hydroelectric dams cost only $M per megawatt, I can't assume that the West should also be able to build those for about $M per megawatt.

It is difficult to search primary sources if you aren't fluent in Chinese. I personally can only search English-language information about China, the availability of which is influenced by the interests of the bilingual people who understand and translate primary sources.

China doesn't have anything like the press freedom or government transparency of the US. In the US we know when a nuclear project goes over budget because the press and government watchdogs both sound the alarm [1]. In China that may not be possible.

We do have some proxy measures relevant to the Chinese nuclear industry. The number of operating reactors is known and the time between construction start and initial operation is known. We also know the electrical output of each reactor. But turning those numbers into cost numbers requires a lot of guessing or assuming about unknown quantities.

Networking will help. Referrals gives you higher chance of getting an interview. As long as the interview goes well, the degree (or lack thereof) doesn't matter.

You probably want to go to play with a couple problems from leetcode though. I'm not for the grind, but there's a high likelihood at some point you'll be asked questions like those. The last thing you want is to be surprised by a "standard" interview question like those.

There are other resources (books, etc.) that supposedly help you prepare for the interview. Make sure you spend some time preparing for the interview if you get one.

Also, I don't think past industry experience makes much of a difference unless it's in a firm of a similar "tier". Staying in a public sector org as a software engineer doesn't really do you much good if your aim is to enter a big tech firm. It might even be considered an anti-signal by some. FWIW, if I'm involved in the hiring process and see a candidate who's worked in the public sector for years, I'd be slightly concerned with them picking up "bad" habits that don't meld well with tech companies (and will adjust my interview questions to try to tease out details on that front). I can't stress this enough -- don't expect that more years in your current job will increase your chances, it's equally likely that it will count against you.
Well, your data model could become relational if you normalize it.

Multiple third party reports [1] are showing the site has lost ~80% of daily active users and of the < 10 million daily active users left, time spent in the app has decreased from nearly 20 minutes, to less than 3. I'm left to reference third party sites since Meta stopped reporting their numbers officially when it started cratering. That scale of collapse is unlikely to be due to the lack of effective search or a chronological feed.

In accounting and finance as it has developed over centuries the only thing that is being seriously tracked and verified is money. Which is an intangible that is entirely oblivious of the actual state of the world (except ofcourse that in the eventuality where there is no world everything goes to zero).

It will take maybe decades before we start tracking and verifying real sustainability metrics. Until then we'll be swimming in a greewashed goo and hoping for the best.
Yes. A[i] in C is exactly equivalent to *(A + i). (Incidentally, this means that 2[x] is a legal expression in C).
If the facts as presented are indeed true, this suit seems to hinge on the question of whether entities publishing information intended for use have any liability at all? Like if you say “here’s information you can use for X” and then someone is harmed by using that information for X, do you (well, do publishers) have any responsibility ever?

Because if they do, and the facts are correct, you’d think that in this case they should. But maybe they just… never have any liability at all? And can make boatloads of cash without worrying.
Look at the gyrations the Rust compiler team has been going through for years to be able to actually use LLVM's noalias (which is a very desirable optimization in Rust where the borrow checker statically guarantees absence of aliasing in a lot of code).

I haven't kept up with the current state of things, but if you can finally liberally use noalias in LLVM without having to fear miscompilations, you probably have solely the increased significance of Rust to thank for that.
Anyone know of something like this for Logseq? Given that it's ultimately just a bunch of markdown lists in flat files, it doesn't even seem like it would need Logseq specific integration anyway. Can one of the llama projects read notes from local files and answer questions about them?

Best Practices for Research Non-Profit?
I see numerous articles about best practices for running non-profits (e.g., https://www.method.me/blog/5-best-practices-for-running-a-nonprofit/) but I can't find much material that is targeted specifically at research non-profits, whose business is research (mostly funded by grants) rather than providing some sort of service. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Mapped: The Migration of the World’s Millionaires in 2023
Perhaps, but Goro still has power and it clearly states he wanted this. If you have backstory to provide that'd help, otherwise it's just gossip.

Additionally, conservative is loaded term it's not really helpful in getting across what they feel without additional description. They're possible old school conservatives but even that probably comes across wrong as how they themselves would want to be described.
Social science is science. In what way is it not?
Im sure they can, but then you start getting into product fragmentation.
You're right. Those are both global numbers, not US. Sorry about that. If the rest holds it means Simula is going to have to sell multinationally to be a going concern, which seems difficult although the broad trend for electronics to become more accessible is in their favor.

Defaults matter, and flexibility can be bad. Apple really gets this.
They didn't terminate my contract though, they just nullrouted my server. They even had the audacity at the end of the month to send me a bill.

The entire sentence says, "The former city, now underwater and about 4.3 miles (7 kilometers) from Egypt's modern-day coast, was destroyed when a major earthquake and tidal waves caused the land to liquefy and sink into the Nile delta."

That seems pretty clear. The land sank below sea level during the earthquake.

Watch and wake up, you deep asleep!
It sounds like Godot just needs a few more hands on deck to close up a lot of these smaller gaps, as Juan mentions most of the issues are already being discussed or were simply lower priority to fix. Hopefully with the influx of Unity refugees (and potential contributors) they'll be able to quicker ship more of the things they already have on their roadmap.

I do think the original article's claim of 'Godot is not the new Unity' is accurate, just not for the architectural reasons claimed. Folks probably shouldn't go into it thinking that Godot will handle every use case just as well as Unity. It hasn't had billions poured into it like Unity, but it is mature and ready for serious games. Plus - open source means you can just get your hands dirty and fix critical (for you) bugs instead of hoping Unity gets around to it.
$22k * ($18.30/$0.04) = $10.065M
I think $10M is right. The options cost $0.04 each yesterday (per the tweet), so spending $22,000 would get you 550000 options. Those options are now worth $18.30 (per the tweet) for a total value of ~$10M.

We are far from perfect in the UK, for sure. But we do have a lot more solar, a lot more public transport and a lot less SUVs. And our Carbon footprint is about a third of the average American.
They renamed Riot to Element in the wake of the George Floyd protests in the United States. It's the same code base.

Matrix is a protocol. Synapse is the primary server implementation of Matrix written in Python.
Yeah, because that is what I meant. A lot of services are useable without paying through the nose, this one apparently not, but thanks for the excellent input.
Kind of wild that this is affecting all of their motorcycles, and not just a single line. I'm assuming this is mechanical and not something that's ECU related as they could easily send out a flash for the ECU.

I'm curious of the legal implications and how this would play out, but I don't really think I understand how Google is responsible here. Was the driver not paying attention?

IIUC Maps TOS calls out that actual conditions may differ from their updates. I wouldn't think Google is responsible when there is an accident in front of me on the road.

If anything, this just calls out maybe Google Maps is not as accurate as people always believe. There are competitors to use instead. It's also free - unless guaranteed as a public utility, I'm not sure I buy that there is any responsibility on Google here at all beyond "make sure to update regularly."

This really seems like it falls squarely on the driver (pay attention to road conditions, people!) and maybe the local government responsible for the bridge/roads.
I'd rather set my bank on fire.
> It's the entire reason Apple still exists as a company, for example.

I genuinely can't believe you've said this with a straight face. If anything, Apple is a company that ruthlessly figures out what best delivers value to their customers and iterates like crazy on that principle.
* insurance is likely the source of the lawsuit. They throw spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. I find it unlikely to be successfull. They would have more success going after the entity gov responsible that did not barricade the collapsed bridge.
Ah, yeah I can see how big band would be a totally different beast.
I don't disagree per se, but I don't see why federal right is so important. We have US states that allow it, so one can relocate to states where people have voted for it if that's what they want.

Federal power getting involved could also just as easily block it from everyone.
