One guess of mine (totally uncorroborated) is that the capsinoids are distributed differently as a result of being extracted (I guess with solvents?). I.e. maybe in other sauces it's in globules or crystals while in DB it's evenly spread.

For anyone who hasn't experienced it I can confirm Da Bomb is _dramatically_ more painful to eat than other sauces that have significantly higher measurer capsaicin content. And yeah it tastes like shit.

The company I work at has extended moodle to introduce gamification and pacing features (i.e. guideline timetable to do XYZ courses on a given day) - there is a lot of experimentation to do with learning, so it should be quite open to extension (in a way that allows me to update the core LMS without breaking my extensions - i.e. forking the repo is not going to cut it).

> my employment contracts have never included guaranteed severance

My assumption was that we would not be talking about "unpaid severance" if there was no severance defined in the first place.

> Are you European? Maybe it's different there.

Generally severance is not legally mandated, but can be mandated under some specific circumstances, e.g. no-notice termination. Usually it is similar to US: either defined in collective (union) agreement or part of termination contract.

> Surely you need the sorted set in memory to derive rank/manipulate it etc?

If you store it as an augmented balanced tree, then you only need to load the path from root to leaf to get or change rank. For example, if each node stored the number of leafs of its subtree, then you can avoid visiting most branches by simple logic: if you want to find element with rank=14, and left subtree only has 10 elements in total, ignore it and go straight to the right subtree, searching for element with rank=4 there.
Dell has been pushing a new memory standard for laptops (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33048948) and even there you face the realities of latency tradeoffs when physically moving the memory away from the CPU.

i would like to see whether the high memory use cases (like running LLMs) can benefit more from direct memory access to GPU that efforts such as DirectStorage is working on (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33265666) and just faster, low-latency drives can bridge this gap faster.
Sometimes it is. For example shoplifting is illegal, and has been for basically as long as rule of law and organized commerce have existed

The refrain "your business model isn't my problem" is common in piracy and ad block debates, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It seems to be saying that if you can subvert a contract of sorts, then you're morally permitted to do so. Does that mean it's OK to steal from a corner shop (who likely won't have the resources to detect and stop you), because "their business model isn't my problem"?

> Worth looking into, ie: request their raw data and crawl over their numerics.

I didn't say I was a good spectroscopist. ;-P

I kid, I kid.

On the one hand, a planet crosses its star. A craptillion miles away, JWST captures the starlight passing through a sliver of atmosphere and spectrally resolves it to whatever degree it can through multiple instruments. That's just incredible.

On the other hand, qualitative chemical analysis of gas mixtures is hard enough with high spectral resolution and these are low resolution spectra. Gas phase lineshapes in lab spectra can be Lorentzian, Gaussian, or usually Voigt (convolution of Lorentzian and Gaussian.) Teasing out the fits usually requires not just high resolution but very high SNR especially in the wings:

https://cefrc.princeton.edu/sites/g/files/toruqf1071/files/F...

Not only are the authors claiming to identify silicates but nanoparticles of quartz vs. other silicates and/or oxides using broad spectral bins and with big error bars. I just don't see how they get there no matter how much they "torture the data."

Having seen a few of these recent spectral announcements, I have to wonder what's really going on. JWST was conceptualized in the late 1980s before exoplanets were even found. AFAIR, it was going to be a "First Light Machine." Then as exoplanets became important and the JWST program ran into trouble, it feels like the exoplanetary characterization became integral to keeping the program sold.

Slide 26 of this presentation by exoplaneteers even states a goal:

"Reclaim JWST from cosmologists

– Win more than our fair share
with a goal of capturing 25% of
mission time"

https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/exep/files/exep/4%20Beichman.pdf

JWST is a magnificent beast but even at 6.5m, it can only collect so much and stare for so long. It feels like it is a pathfinder that will set requirements for future exoplanet-specific missions.

The conclusion is pretty weird to me.

Go does rely on monomorphization for generics, just like C++ and Rust. The only difference is that this is an implementation detail, so Go can group multiple monomorphizations without worrying about anything else [1]. This form of hybrid monomorphization is being increasingly common, GHC does that and Rust is also trying to do so [2], so nothing special for Go here.

On the other hand, explaining variance as a lifted polymorphism is---while not incorrect per se---also weird in part because a lack of variance is at worst just an annoyance. You can always make an adapter to unify heterogeneous types. Rust calls it `Box<dyn Trait>`, Go happens to call it an interface type instead. Both languages even do not allow heterogeneous concrete (or runtime) types in a single slice! So variance has no use in both languages because no concrete types are eligible for variance anyway.

I think the conclusion got weird because the term "subtyping" is being misused. Subtyping, in the broadest sense, is just a non-trivial type relation. Many languages thus have a multiple notion of subtyping, often (almost) identical to each other but sometimes not. Go in particular has a lot of them, and even some relation like "T implements U" is a straightforward record subtyping. So subtyping is indeed a red herring here. Given this, it is no surprise that the non-uniform value representation has the largest influence, and only monomorphization schemes and hetero-to-homogeneous adapters vary in this particular group.

Yes, it conflates a structural vs nominal type difference (i.e. punning 'bark'), with a classic variance issue.

Ignore the tree. Suppose you have _seals_, who are plausibly 'barkers' in the same sense as dogs. Take an array Dog[] and pass it to a function that accepts Barker[]. It seems reasonable to take a Barker from the array, nice and safe. But suppose we try to put a Seal into the array, that's not fine: it's a Dog[].

Benchmarks for Feature Stores for ML
What is nebulous is the actual return on the investment of time and money, just the same as it would be in any rewrite of any code ever, when the same resources could be allocated differently. The possibility that some hypothetical bugs might be avoided isn't a compelling argument for spending dollars and time on doing the work, if it's measurably doing it's job now.
workstation - that would require some external GPU, so 8 or 16 lanes. 4 for chipset/USB. That leaves 8 or 16 pcie lanes for SSD, decent NVMe SSDs are 4 lanes, which means up to 4 fully enabled SSD, it's not much, esp. running RAID.
Your assumptions seems to be that there is a limit to what is knowable.

Picture a spotlight shining down on an infinite field.

The surface which is lit up by the spotlight represents our collective knowledge about reality, and the further up you move the spotlight, the more of the field you will light up, and thus know about.

Except, how much is it left to know about outside of circle that the spotlight lights up?

With that said, I think it's pointless to speak about God in the realm of science, because there is no way of scientifically proving that he's real or not. In the realm of science, we have to abide by the rules thus set, and how we define what is knowable. The rules are quite good, and they have served us well thus far, so there is no need to question it's validity or usefulness outside of strictly philosophical limits. And under those rules, God is not knowable. Thus you may believe in God, the Universe or only in the things you can scientifically prove; it matters not, because you still exist and perceive. Hopefully!
It's just a bad example because the dog barking and tree barking just happened to be called the same.

But let's say you have Admin and EndUser that both implement the User class. You would think you could use a []EndUser on a function that takes a []User. Because you can use a EndUser when you need a User.

Except you can't because of mutability. In Scala for example, ListBuffer is invarient (because you could append the wrong type) however the immutable List is covarient so you can call a function that takes a List[User] and pass it a List[EndUser].

That was literally the entire point of the (Bush era) Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing policy: to inexpensively achieve pollution reduction by nudging almost-there clean vehicle technologies "over the line" from non-viable to viable. Why are we suddenly complaining when it did exactly what we intended in the first place?

Inexpensive? Big check (see Clinton's try for a typical case). Accelerated pollution reduction with huge health benefits? Also check.

> It's simple and easy to understand. There's no hidden complexity, no magic, no gotchas. Nothing is going to surprise me about it

There absolutely are gotchas, exactly because they are not sum types. There are functions where both “slots” are used as return types, when an error occurred.

> It's a very readable cadence. Do the thing, check the error, do the thing

Arguably, you can’t reasonably handle most errors in-place, you just don’t have enough context for that. Also, you want to make your business logic right — all those verbose, often incorrect/naive error handles will just make it harder to read your own logic. Also, very easy to accidentally swallow an error - exceptions/sum types are much better in this regard, you can’t not care about them.

You can take this a step further. You can copy the existing firefox.application to ~/.local/share/applications in triplicate.

Leave the first the same, but add Hidden=true, NoDisplay=true. Then rename the other two "personal.desktop" "companyname.desktop" and change the Name values inside, and add "-P {personal/companyname}" to the Exec line.

Now your application launcher, if functioning correctly, should hide the default Firefox instance (which due to stupid Firefox behavior can do... unpredictable things), and instead you can type "personal" or "companyname" to have Firefox launch with those specific profiles.

It's really quite fantastic, as good a solution as any I could ask for.
