To answer your last question first: Nature seems to be an ahead of time compiled language with direct memory access vs. python’s being an interpreted strictly GC’d language. So the immediate conclusion would be, you would not use Python in a performer critical environment, i.e. game engine development for modern 3d video games (an area the author has commented several times is a personal use case).

Also, you are assuming some desire by the language designer to have the language be successful (whatever that may mean). One of the stated goals to raise user’s “joy” when programming. I think taking on a challenging problem and crafting a personally desired solution, and doing so well from a brief look at the implementation, is certainly something, that sounds like the kind of activity that could provide a great source of enjoyment/fulfillment/…. So a programmer developing a language they like and enjoy, then wanting to share that makes sense.

The main negatives I have seen expressed are ‘there are already too many programming languages, why add another, that’s a waste’ or ‘what is going to sell this language, the docs don’t make a big sales pitch’, etc. I have not seen any real criticism addressing the semantics and other than some mentions of significant white space vs. curly braces, I haven’t seen criticism related to the syntax.

So, if your negatives, which are so much more important than feelings or if the truths you referenced are substantive criticisms of the actual artifact, I would say lay them out and maybe have a conversation. But I don’t see anything substantial, just complaints about a person pursuing something they choose to pursue and making, what seems to be, a darn good effort in the process.
For reference, an underwater diver typically has a dedicated hose-manager, a dedicated stand-by diver, and a dedicated job manager watching the vision feeds, the oxygen levels, handling comms, etc.

That's a minimum of four people per job with complex time critical work in harbours holding up transit shipping can see that layered up to cover 24x7 operation.

The hose management is the air mix lines to the diver along with cmms and then any tool lines required - hydraulic, pnuematic, additional electric, etc.

Apple silicon does extraordinarily well in CFD, it does extremely well at compiling, it does extremely well at any sort of JVM workload (IntelliJ) or JavaScript workload.

Also worth noting that as of cinebench 2024, the numbers have really changed, it was unfairly favoring x86 because of a small scene and short dependency chains, CB23 was basically just measuring Simd performance.
Talking about paving paradise, Kepler's is now a huge multi-story store. Several decades ago I looked in vain for even a little table or shelf with leading-edge counter-culture literature. Couldn't find anything resembling that.
That's part of it. Many people upgraded early 3 years ago. Combine that with inflation eating away at disposable income and people are extending the usable life of... everything.
> Repair costs are ludicrous..

Welcome to "hiring a human to do a few hours technical labor involving low-volume parts." I don't think it's crazy, I think we just can't fathom how inexpensive per-unit manufacturing costs are and how efficient modern logistics is.
Maybe, but I'd think a TV target would be 4K in 2023. "1080p gaming" doesn't usually mean an exact target so much as "not powerful enough for more".

Sounds more like they're targeting the good enough market. Mid-level PC gaming has moved on to 1440p, but budget builds could maybe use something like this.
Interesting take on the take !
May I ask how old you are ? Those screenshot are not fancy indeed, I do recognize that. But middle school me would have been really excited if a website told him that he was about to program something like that.

I do find the grey theme sad and kinda kitch, too. But not the underlying promesses.

>40 months! Silly me, I've been on the ten year plan.

The OP missed out a word, it should be the average upgrade cycle for PC ( or specifically Laptops ) is about 40 months. But if you look at Data closely, lots of company buy a new laptop for their employees every 24 months. Some even gets 12 months as some sort of perks.

If you ignores these outliner you will see average drops to 50 to 60 months.

It is very relevant to the topic of whether Hamas murders babies.

Stop defending people who murder babies.
That’s absolutely untrue (unless you’ve paid significantly into your deductible, in which case COBRA may be the right way to go). Most HRA plans from your employer are virtually indistinguishable from what you can get on the exchange. While there can be continuity of care issues, every portal allows you to check that the plan your selecting covers critical doctors.

It’s further no different than any issue you’d face simply changing employers.

The clearest thing you learn working in healthcare is how poorly people understand the ACA.
I actually adopted the practice of rubbing the tip of my spatula against the surface of a piece of meat to get a sense of doneness. Think taking the tip edge of your spatula, planting it into the top surface of the meat and rocking it back and forth a bit to feel how spongy it is still. The less give, the more done. This works really well for finicky cooks like chicken and fish.
Even better: Distribute image A for a while before publishing B' and it can spread via all the server side scanning channels as well. Then when f(B')=f(A) is added to the database, people sse suddenly caught with apparently legal images.

Opposite move as Tesla, they started on the expensive end to finance scaling up the cheaper ones.

Meanwhile Intel is going after the cheap ones to try and get a budget to tackle the more difficult AI/ML GPU market.
YMMV. When I was laid off earlier this year COBRA was only slightly more expensive than an equivalent marketplace plan. But agreed don't skip checking the marketplace!

Also be aware of the "COBRA gap". You have the option to (retroactively) opt into COBRA for 60-days, so depending on your situation it may make sense to do without insurance within the gap, and opt-in in the unlikely event something catastrophic happens before your new employers insurance kicks in.
I've seen pneumatic chainsaws used in shallow water. Quite loud
The horror scenario of the parent post was completely avoidable with “not cross-vendor transferrable” keys as I describe.

This “cross-vendor” property is nice but it’s not required to defend against being locked out of one’s stuff.

Thanks for posting this as I learned about Grid and it looks really interesting. I wonder how exactly do you name this category of spreadsheet app for SEO purposes? When i search top spreadsheet apps or Excel alternatives, apps like yours don’t often show up, instead I get AirTable, SmartSheets and other general spreadsheet apps that are not calculation intensive. I’m trying to find Excel on steroids for data analysis and reporting that connects to DBs directly, does database exploration, connects or offers a BI tool and has convenient integrations like PowerAutomate. Is there any Microsoft killer out there with this roadmap?
Or a better one...maybe? What makes you say that Elon Musk is a pedophile?

Tho, in terms of having a world "without them", we probably can't get rid of it--doesn't it go back to Greek or Roman times? And persists today in Islamic Afghanistan?

--not that such examples at all justify it. Just in the sense that, like murder goes back to prehistory at least, and we can't get rid of that, as obscene and awful as that is.

Anyway, I thought the PDF was funny, like deliberately retro and goofy, almost in a Borat kind of way

--a kind of profile piece that might have been published in the early 2000s, about a small time but up and coming "30 under 30" technologist or something, humorously belieing his already huge status and success, at its time of publication.

I wondered who might have created it and why it would be on the Tesla site.

Although, I'm not sure how you made your connection from the PDF to Musk being a 'rock spider', aka, a paedophile.

But I've seen that information about Musk as well, unfortunately.

I'm sure you probably don't have anything further to say on it, but on the off chance you do--would you happen to have any more references to share about it? I'm interested if this has been documented anywhere.
You would use oil with watery meat? The technique sounds interesting, but a bit on the spattery side that I like to avoid.
It works. I did it for a year and I wouldn’t say it works well. The level of polish simply isn’t there; I missed many, many important shots because the camera app would take a full 4-5 seconds to launch on flagship hardware.
Criticism will be there but it would be hypocritical. I can support ukraine's defense for example but I can't say from a morally authoritative perspective that Russia is so horrible. Every country is an invasion away from ceasing to exist. That's why militaries and alliances exist. That's why NATO exists.

The US has been trying to do something similar as NATO in the pacific but they are not doing well picking sides there. Look at most of western China for example, it was not China 80 years ago, it was all a result of invading and incorporating other countries like Tibet. I mean, western media will act high and mighty but this is just the reality of the world. This was the context under which the Korean and Vietnamese wars were fought by the US. Empires keep expanding until they collapse, this is still true today.

I just like to remember what empire I live in and that partly thanks to war averse folks like you, we do try to avoid and minimize war and invasions but also spend a crapton of money into a military that serves as a deterrence of wider scale global conflicts, wars and instabilities. The CIAs actions don't need to be excused because the CIA does not act on its own. It acted on your behalf if you are an american (my behalf too). And I for one support electing level headed leaders who would look at classified information I don't know and then decide what the CIA would do on my behalf.
The way I have it set up in my use case is that if you click on the equation it switches to a brief description of what the equation is doing. Pretty useful for quickly parsing it for someone unfamiliar.

>I don't think you can date a secondary trace of something like this.

FTA:

“One key problem in archaeology is that we are often not getting a date (radiometric date, for example) on the objects we are directly interested in.”

According to the article, secondary sources are the norm in archaeology.
I'm not sure what you mean, but people buying $179 GPUs are very likely to have a 1080p monitor.

Um... It is far more likely M3 will be based on A18 rather than A17.
Almost every paper in this vein is not "LLMs are the best in this category of thing, too". There are a couple of fields where LLMs are SOTA for tasks that would otherwise be done by a different algorithm, notably translation, but that's not the majority of these papers.

It's "LLMs can do this category of thing, too". The generality of the architecture is a novel scientific finding in and of itself. Do you remember the last 50 years of AI research where GOFAI systems were universally too fragile to function outside of highly constrained environments, and earlier neural networks were either ineffectual or extremely specialised? The fact that LLMs can function incredibly well (compared to historical AI systems) in diverse scenarios is the scientifically interesting finding.
One part of my logic is that I believe all employees should be given around 3 months or more of severance for layoffs.

Just because that isn’t common practice doesn’t mean I don’t think something like 9 weeks isn’t unacceptably short.

It’s nearly impossible to get another job and receive your first paycheck within 9 weeks.

I think it’s just that little bit extra pathetic when it’s a large and successful company with revenue in the billions that can’t even find the money to round up severance to an even number of weeks.

And I am struggling to think of how applying the WARN Act to all layoff situations wouldn’t be a net benefit to most employees.
Upscaling means you can push to a high refresh 2560x1440 and be fine, in nearly all games.

What you can drive natively isnt really that coupled to what you can render anymore. It's an unnecessary luxury having full native res rendering, great to have, nice, but no longer necessary at all for almost everyone.

Also if you are just gonna predominantly play on Steam Deck or some kind of video solution, then it's probably more than enough.
Sounds like you need new employers. The only people who want that are shortsighted managers who don't care that they know nothing about users' needs, and that's certainly not a universal disposition in the software business.
The primacy of European Union law is a legal principle establishing precedence of European Union law over conflicting national laws of EU member states.

The principle was derived from an interpretation of the European Court of Justice, which ruled that European law has priority over any contravening national law, including the constitution of a member state itself.

MemGPT – Teaching LLMs memory management for unbounded context
Is there any reputable website to easily compare GPU performances? I know it depends on the specific game/benchmark, but some kind of standardized score would really help.
I got an RX6600 new for a similar price not long ago. It definitely works well for 1080p gaming even with new titles. Provided you’re not expecting them to run at max settings or super high frame rates.
And they don't have to track me either across the internet, but I don't get a choice to opt out. Just playing by their rules.
You can install adblockers on the IPhone. iOS integrates well with then. I use Adblock Plus.

I also got a SE 2022 which is good performance per buck, sacrifices screen size and camera.
I've found the ML papers to be surprisingly approachable. The biology papers I read in college were much harder for me to work through compared to the Machine Learning papers, and I don't consider myself an ML expert.
BMW has been doing this as standard for 10+ years. They call it efficient dynamics.

Basically a lot of the extra things like power steering and water pump are electric instead of engine driven. And the generator is set to run as much as possible only when decelerating / braking. So it's using energy that would normally go to waste in a non-hybrid car. The battery is 1kwh which is enough for this purpose.

They haven't incuded the air conditioning pump in this, probably because it requires more power than the electrical system on a non-hybrid car could handle.
Quit a job with a major US bank in 21Q3 because of their premature RTO push.

I never enjoyed going into an office especially once they converted our floor to be more open.

I also think hybrid could be an option for those who like going to an office each day. But, it shouldn't be mandatory. Businesses mandating RTO are waging a losing battle.

Great post, OP!
Physical paper mail is pretty clearly a legacy system at this point, no? Seems straightforward to delete it and replace it with an email service where each physical address gets an email handle that gets transferred between residents when someone moves in/out. For very old people and Amish there could be an opt-in physical alternative but you need to pick it up at a central location, or pay to have it forwarded by a private package delivery service. Am I sounding like a toddler?
Almost no one else does 256-bit except for upper tier. This is a great call out of some ass kicking.

It costs them not really much, but most established vendors just don't wanna give away memory bandwidth, are trying to tier it up. Interesting to see Intel be like, hey, here's gobs of bandwidth for cheap.

> And the tail end of a regional cooling period known as the Little Ice Age was, at the time of the Europeans’ arrival, still exacerbating North American winters.

What happened here? One theory of the Little Ice Age is that it was caused by the depopulation of the native Americans after exposure to the Europeans. That theory would have had a hard time getting off the ground if the Little Ice Age was wrapping up just as Europeans arrived in America.

But of course it turns out that that's not at all the case:

> The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of regional cooling, particularly pronounced in the North Atlantic region. It was not a true ice age of global extent. The term was introduced into scientific literature by François E. Matthes in 1939. The period has been conventionally defined as extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age )

By contrast with the article, the colony of Virgina dates from the early 17th century.
Interesting - my COBRA opt-ins have always been much higher, but it’s also probably down to location.

And yes, totally agree - taking advantage of the 60 day gap can also be super helpful, especially if you’re not high risk.

On your behalf, or on behalf of individual US companies, regular or (especially) Military "defence" contractors?

The company responded by intensively lobbying the U.S. government to intervene and mounting a misinformation campaign to portray the Guatemalan government as communist.

In 1954, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency deposed the democratically elected government of Guatemala, and installed a pro-business military dictatorship.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Fruit_Company

Exactly how many democracies has the US toppled through fear that the "socialist leaning" elected people's government might not buy American or fully align with the US hegemony?

How has that played out for the US in the long term (this thread, for example, being about Iran).

And that's just 1080p, quickly adding the survey results shows that only ~27% of people have larger screens than 1080p, so ~73% if people have screens of 1080p or less.

Though arguably people on older screens aren't likely in the market for a new graphics card, even "midrange" like this.

“it is believed”? APNS is one of the most reliable services on the planet, serving about a billion people 24/7/365 for many years.

The whole “Apple is bad at cloud” is a meme from a decade ago. Apple is great at the bits of cloud computing that make Apple money.
Ok, let me step back and add some nuance, because you’re right: some subset of criminals might care. The kind who commit crimes for which the cops bother to use any of this stuff to investigate crimes and catch criminals. At that point the dubious efficacy of most of this comes into play, but sure, certain tech or programs might actually matter.

The other 95+% of criminals needn’t trouble themselves, because the cops won’t investigate their crimes. They’ll only get picked up if they’re caught in the act. It’s not that they don’t care because they’re dumb, but because the cops are lazy as fuck and aren’t investigating most crimes, no matter how many solid leads they’ve got. Unless it’s a murder or (especially) smells like they might be able to confiscate six figures or more of something to sell at auction and/or brag about, they’re not gonna bother. They routinely ignore e.g. extensive video evidence of four and five-figure theft and property crime—not like they’re suddenly gonna get more diligent because the source of their good leads & evidence is slightly different.

But you are correct that there exists a set of criminals to whom this stuff might matter. I was too general in my dismissal.

I made a plain-text no frills news website for India: https://news.tatooine.club/

It shows news only from the last two days, there’s no infinite scrolling, no images, very little JavaScript, no ads, and no tracking.

It has trigger warnings, let’s you hide specific categories (like sports), and grays out read articles (unless they get an update).

It has slack-like highlight words to highlight news that you care about. I highlight news about Bangalore, or Google for eg.

I check it once or twice a day, and I get just enough news that I care about.
definitely agree

also, since this is a relatively recent development for Intel they also have to get their drivers & stack competitive, and there's clearly no better way to do that than by getting telemetry on exactly what ways your products are lacking and crashing things

edit to add:

I think there's also a really good chance that this winds up like the first generation of Ryzen systems did- not the most competitive, but quite cheap and with a few interesting features to get enough people over, and then eventually the future generations go on to go head-to-head with offerings from other companies.

I would be more surprised by the complete failure and disappearance of ARC in five years than by it duking it out in the datacenter and gaming markets even at the high end.
Absolutely, I love that you're trying to write things in raw HTML for the record. As promised, here's my website that I rewrote in raw HTML a year ago - https://ashwinsundar.com/

I had originally written it using GatsbyJS, which I had been told was all the rage in web dev these days. I hated the experience. I migrated to a pure HTML + CSS approach, throwing away 99.9% of the bloatware. The articles are now written in Markdown, and converted back to HTML with that bash script I shared above.

So I totally get why you'd want to just write stuff in HTML instead of flavor-of-the-week web framework. In all honestly, HTML is all you need.

And yeah that article at the top of my site "Prefer Markdown" was inspired by your article :)
