Thank you to the author for this.

I struggle to have the discipline to get enough sleep. I'm going to bookmark this, pin it in a tab, and use it to remind myself that the consequences of my stupidity are greater than what I would accomplish by staying awak.
Surely it was left in limbo when it got sold to Epic.

Epic discarding it is simply a continuation of the downward spiral.

And, he also says "I’m not saying everyone should write C this way, and when I contribute code to a project I follow their local style."

IMO, Epic's grand vision is to be an all-in-one solution for any sort of media, from video games to complete CG movies. It's seems straight forward to see how a audio related business fits into this, and also straight forward to see how it ultimately wasn't really the right fit.
I didn't see it mentioned, but depending on the type of volumes you're working with, you can opt for a more durable, expensive steel mold vs a cheaper aluminum mold. The molds wear out over time, steel will typically last longer.

For one of our products, we used an off the shelf plastic enclosure. Unfortunately, the process of getting our equipment certified with an off the shelf enclosure was much more difficult than expected. Finding an enclosure manufacturer who would support us through certification was challenging.. the sticking point was trying to get manufacturers to provide test samples of the gasket materials being used.
The camera manufacturers don't make the silicon and the silicon makers don't care about any specific camera manufacturer.

Not even Google can get Qualcomm to upstream their drivers. Let that sink in. And it's not because of confidential IP, because many of the drivers are already open source.

Silicon vendors could save a lot of time by mainlining their code rather than having hundreds of forks of every library. Security would dramatically improve. OEMs could update their products.

Maybe it will take legislation or a special interpretation of the 2021 executive order on cyber security [1] to force silicon vendors to take this seriously.

I had a different sort of event looking at the plastic in my life. More like, whats the point of this, other than to save the manufacturer costs? I'm convinced there's nothing I own thats made of plastic that my grandparents didn't have a much nicer all metal or wood version. Not to mention its unrepeatable and tends to get brittle with age. So much plastic stuff I have is straight up junk that's just going to fall apart in a few years. Meanwhile you can have a metal can opener thats 80 years old and works as good as new.
Actually, this article will deter me from using my fireplace this year. I enjoy chopping wood and then having somewhat-frequent fires in the winter. But my fireplace can also burn gas, which I will use now instead but far less frequently because it costs a shitload of money.

Years ago, when I was doing academic research, I was working for more than 60 hours a week, often on weekends. On the whole it was enjoyable, but then I realized that I was spending an enormous amount of time writing papers that ten people, if I was lucky, would cite, for a far-from-guaranteed professional future in academia, setting aside my romantic and social life because, in the end, overcoming the inertia there seemed more challenging and tiresome than simply occupying my time trying to develop a fairly useless but potentially-perceived-as-novel algorithm.

Then, gradually at first, and then suddenly, my life made a critical and abrupt transition, and now my professional life has to fit into my life full of interests, occasional romance, family, sports, and all the other things that can make life more interesting.

And I make very good money.
Both intel and AMD's hyperthreading seems pretty lame compared to Power's for some reason.

One cause may be that with just two threads the chance that both get blocked on a memory access is pretty good.
The wide angle and time lapse of these massively overstates the problem.
The angle they cover is microscopic and they only cover it for an instant. In visible spectrum I find it very hard to believe it is a more serious problem than earth based astronomy already deals with like atmospheric issues.

Radio looks pretty bleak, noise floor is about to get a lot higher.
Just a small remark that dog-autoscaler which is `cluster-autoscaler` supports scaling to and from 0 pretty nicely. I even implemented that functionality in cluster api provider aws using cluster autoscaler. Which probably why the native support isn’t going along so nicely.

Given that polar sea ice peaked in 1979, but decades before had minimums below anything recorded since, and this study begins with 1982 data, I don't see how they can claim such certainty.
Have you (or others!) done much research on using different subsets of target modules? Just doing q, k, v, o is dramatically less ram and much more accessible (mistral 7b on 3080ti)

Hi all,

Just wanted to showcase an experiment of automating publishing blog posts with GPT-4.

By no means is this a production worthy workflow or replacement for quality software dev blog posts. Just wanted to show it's very much possible for GPT-4 to produce sensible first drafts for software engineering related topics.

You can extend this to your liking. Create a post, then trigger a marketing campaign.

Long time reader, first time publisher to this community.

Feedback welcome!
Well sure, that’s a completely different discussion though.
Drinking nectar doesn't necessarily mean pollinating, that is transferring pollen. The pollen has to stick to the insect's body and the insect has to visit another flower that is genetically compatible and the pollen has to get stuck to the stigma of that flower when the stigma is gooey and receptive.

Some flowers can only be pollinated by insects of particular sizes or shapes because of the position of the pollen-producing (anthers) and pollen-accepting (stigma) structures, and some insects bypass pollen entirely by biting a hole in the base of a flower to drink the nectar, and some insects don't visit multiple flowers of the same species consistently enough to transfer pollen (honeybees for instance apparently) as efficiently as other insects (bumblebees).

Most wasps (of which hornets are a subtype) are only interested in nectar, not pollen, and some flowers don't produce nectar so won't be visited by wasps. Most wasps have short tongues for their body size, so they can't access some flowers that bumblebees can (bumblebees have long tongues). Some bees (bumblebees or mining bees for instance, not honeybees) buzz their wings to extract pollen from particular flowers like blueberries and tomatoes, enabling them to be pollinated effectively, and wasps don't do that.

So giant hornets can't do all pollinating that bees can do. However, in the upper Midwest the spotted bee balm (Monarda punctata) is pollinated by large wasps, so there might be other flowers in the area invaded by giant hornets that could be pollinated by them.

I'm only 33 but never had any issues with joint pains or anything like that whereas my peers, some younger and some older struggle with this and use various methods like ergonomic keyboards, massage sessions, stretching, etc to help ease the pain.

I've used a traditional mouse and keyboard since I was around 7 and can easily spend a whole day in front of my computer.

Lately I've been wondering if it's simply just my inability to sit still which has helped me so far. I feel like I always need to change my sitting position. I can sink down in my chair, put my legs up on something, move my feet, lean on my desk in awkward positions, stretch and twist my body and so on. Not because anything hurts, but because I just feel restless.

But sometimes when I've been intensely in the zone while programming, I don't move as much and then I might start to feel some stiffness in my arms, fingers, etc. I would also notice my eyes get sore, maybe because I don't blink as much?
This^, I'm very much the same.

Going to sleep feels like it brings the next day, and if you aren't looking forward to what you have to do the next day....you put it off for as long as possible.

I feel you.
I was coding in Q-Basic when I was about 9 years old. It wasn't much more than colored text on the screen and some inputs for a text based choose your own adventure for a little while but I was doing it. I was also playing other Q-Basic games and then reading their code to learn how to do certain things, then tweaking certain aspects of the code to change things, like what was said in messages and the hud and how much the score went up, etc.

Likely the only reason it wasn't earlier is I didn't have access to a computer until then. My parents didn't buy one until around that age, and I was already bugging them about it because my friend had one and was showing me these cool Q-Basic games he found on Compuserve. I started programming almost immediately after we got a computer in the household.

Now granted 5 is pretty young, I didn't even really know how to read then. But I probably would have by 7 years old if there was a computer in the house at that point.

I was also making Hypercard programs on the school library Macintosh (the original Macintosh) around that time, mainly images I drew with clickable portions to navigate to new screens, like navigating a maze.

My more serious programming was when I got a TI-85 calculator in 7th grade, though, so when I was around 12 years old. I started making text-based games on there, then action based games like Breakout, and at that point I was using plenty of for and while loops and checking keyboard inputs and creating menus and slinging variables around and calling functions and everything else.
That's some nice advice, thank you.
In the past, I replaced the keyboard on (if I recall correctly) an x260. This involved a 30-minute tutorial on unscrewing several dozen differently sized screws, taking apart the device in its entirety from the bottom, removing the motherboard, removing more body fixtures, and finally pulling the keyboard out. Through the bottom.

Recently, I looked up the process for doing the same on the x13 gen 2, released fairly recently.

https://download.lenovo.com/lts/RTPW12C0/FOF/RTPW12C0-ThinkP...

You take two screws out of the bottom and the keyboard pops off. That's it. Fucking incredible if I do say so myself. Especially considering they achieved this WHILE ALSO making the device thinner and sleeker. It's a nice surprise to see some things becoming -more- repairable.

That also translates to customer cost
Too many geniuses spoil the soup. We all see many of thousands of recipes and techniques over the course of our careers and it makes sense that each of us are continuously curating the small subset that we reach for in every project.

Yes, I have plenty of savings. But in any case, having a lot of savings does not make me lean toward starting crusades at work to use Julia instead of Python or a random forest instead of a neural network. When you see the corporate world for what it is, there is no turning back.

I am a professional well aware that I am the most important person in my life and a cog in the machine when I have my badge around my neck or on my belt like the gunslingers once carried their Colts.
It's not that the rules are unsafe it's that bad drivers are doing bad behavior that is unsafe. Everything that the article cites as the problem with right turn on red has nothing at all to do with the law it has to do with bad drivers even in your examples it's about drivers who are bad and not paying attention to their surroundings.

This is my point changing the rule is a short-term solution that does nothing to address the long-term problem of making people better drivers.

Considering '#defines' are done in a textual pre-precessing by the C pre-processor, they don't know much at all about the C language. You can define out int, long, struct or anything.

Some of the effects may not be casual, but there is substantial evidence for many of the cognitive effects in sleep deprivation studies, which just introduce a lack of sleep. There is probably good evidence for the other effects as well, although I’m not immediately familiar with it.

While other issues may be also playing a role or even be the primary cause, the physiological effects of sleep deprivation are likely to make almost any underlying cause worse.
Speaking of type systems, I read glib as g-lib a few times and tried to understand how you were talking about the GNU lib in that sentence.

I'm the same too. I know it doesn't make logical sense because it starts a bad spiral, but my body (gut?) is trying really hard to procrastinate sleeping because it doesn't want the next day to come.

Obviously subjective but I don't agree with the final bullet point.

I believe that human happiness is primarily determined by the amount of meaning and impact we have.

If someone is learning math/physics because they are committed to furthering the world through some breakthrough then yes kids would be deteminetal to that

But if you are just randomly amusing yourself learning topics and one day you are 50+ the ship on family has basically sailed. And you look back on your life as a bunch of short term amusement that gets you to a very depressing place.
No; it's up to the program author to link against a library that provided back-traces (and maybe install a signal handler to call into that unwinder). Even then, some kind of information needs to be retained in the binary that's normally not (-gmlt comes to mind).

Usually folks attach a debugger to capture a stack trace. Usually the debugger uses debug info to determine where the program is, and it's stack trace. Or it can walk frame pointers. Depends on if either are even used, which is a compile time decision.
This is generally an argument that has merit only if you can ignore cost and care completely.

Yes, silk parachutes exist. But there was a reason why nylon was revolutionary - it was orders of magnitude cheaper and required a lot less care.

> Not to mention its unrepeatable and tends to get brittle with age. Meanwhile you can have a metal can opener thats 80 years old and works as good as new.

Plenty of metal can openers that are rusted, bent out of shape, or corroded enough to be unusable.

Plastic only usually gets brittle if it is left in sunlight (and not always then). Not sure what "unrepeatable" means in this context, but plastic is usually at least as repairable as wood or metal by using resin. Indeed, both wood and metal is often repaired by using resin based fillers.

That dose may be ten times too high: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/07/10/melatonin-much-more-th...

I was prescribed melatonin by a doctor, and the dose went up little by little from 3mg to 10mg before we decided it didn't work for me. Sure it helped me fall asleep, but then I woke up a few hours later and couldn't sleep again. Years later I have started taking 0.5mg (1mg is the smallest pill I could find, and I split them in two) and it's much better that way.

Low-dose doxepin (3mg) has also helped, but I find that I have to take breaks from it, because it stops working after a while. This dose is much lower than the usual dose for depression, but a local pharmacy manufactures the pills based on a doctor's prescription.
In school, they used to teach us about the atomic structure of metals being an orderly lattice. Being an orderly lattice, if two pieces of metals were in contact with each other, there wouldn't be any indication of where one piece ended and where the other began. Is this why it fuses in space?

Slippery slope fallacy. Only thing Silicon Valley has in common with the rest of the publicly traded market is that the people at the apex are invested in other sectors that they aren't as close to and may not be able to collectively influence, and those cats got in at sweetheart deals. The Bay Area behemoths are effectively incorporated gen Z to millennials, few not even drinking age. If you think the macroeconomic factors are the driving force of compressing this highly speculated arena, I've got boat load of expensive spinning disk hard drives to sell you at exorbitant prices caused by the tsunami in Thailand.

> And while corruption in the so-called "military-industrial complex" exists, based on my 20 years in uniform, I'm not sure it's worse than in other sectors of the economy.

The issue with defense contracting is not corruption, but the fact that it can feel like a trap for a lot of transitioning vets. For every general that retires there’s 1000+ mid level officers and enlisted not knowing what else to do with themselves. And after 6-20 years in service joining a defense company because they were under equipped to and unprepared to transition from military duty to a fully civilian position.

To me those advanced json aggregation functions are to handle the fact that most DBs accept de-normalized JSON fields.

Direct DB ser/de looks like a bad idea, it's often much easier to scale the application server layer that the DB layer on most cases.

And in most situations you want to "expand" the data as close as possible to the final location.

If you really care about having very low overhead ser/de you would probably go for protobuf/Cap'n Proto almost everywhere instead.
I like to think that the generous money I get from Tech is as much a responsibility as it is a luxury. I try to avoid mega retailers like Alibaba, Temu, Amazon and Walmart.

I am somewhat of an edge case

My left hands fingers are way more flexible and nimble than my right hand, even though I'm right dominant.

I do basically all typing with all my left hand's 5 fingers, accompanied by just two fingers on the right hand.

I have looong fingers so it works out on standard keyboards without any need to stretch.

But yes, never ever put weight on your wrists while typing, same advice as when playing a violin.
