US minimum wage has not increased since 2009 and is $7.50. How many people in the private sector are at the same job for 14 years with no pay increases. Minimum wage at a minimum should be tied to inflation and I think $15 an hour increase over 4 years is more than fair to employers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage_in_the_United_S...

I think a lot of people have this misconception that FOSS is produced by volunteers working for no pay. I mean, they don’t literally think that, but they bucket FOSS produced by amateurs and volunteers with FOSS produced by companies with massive R&D budgets. The only thing those software have in common is that they are free to use and modify as-is.

In some cases, FOSS is literally just something a company made to meet their needs (in a way that mostly generalized it) and then decided “hey this would be cool to donate as FOSS.” Blender and Linux are also basically paid software, they are just funded by the many corporations who rely on them. You can’t compare that to abandonware some guy made in his free time or volunteer-produced software that competes against software funded to the tune of billions of dollars per year.

You're taking a remarkably short sighted position here. Blacksmiths and cobblers were once highly in demand workers as well. Do you really think writing code is such a special beautiful skill that it's immune to the same forces of automation?

Software development is a trade skill, like any other. We're in a very brief window of time where it's a very lucrative skill to have. Don't expect that to last forever. When that stops being the case you'll want something between you and the harder facts of life that you might have had the privilege of ignoring for a while. There's a reason people bled and died to make these organizations.

This a million times. I love working with Rust because it's - from my point of view - an ML language disguised in C-syntax (with a package manager and unit testing etc. etc). Most of the time I'd be served well by a GC version of Rust.
Perhaps. But it would help if you clarified a bit more.
I implemented a WASM interpreter recently. Didn't know WASM when I started. GC wasn't particularly difficult. Type canonicalization was the trickiest bit. Did a small subset of stringref, too. If there's anything I'm intimidated by with WASM implementation it's all the SIMD instructions.

There was a funny episode about race or something and they had Andrew Sullivan on as the tv beam in guest with like 3 people in studio.

I don’t remember the point but remember thinking “you came on the Jon Stewart show, how could you not expect a white man to talk to you?”

It was a uninformative show.

Many cars charge more slowly than Teslas, so Tesla will charge them based on time spent, not just power.

This aligns the incentives to allow people who foolishly choose to buy inefficient car brands help fund the further buildout of the network.

Because if this didn’t happen, the cars that charge fast (Tesla, Lucid, Rivian for example) would be waiting for the slow cars like VW IDs (if VW ever gets on board). That would not be ideal.
In other words, you're paid at the intersection of Supply and Demand curves, i.e. the Law of Supply and Demand.

How much a company is willing to give you is based on the value you create. Companies are not going to employ someone who costs more than the value they produce. If the person creates far more value than they are paid, then the person is apt to find someone else who will pay more.

I agree. That's why I don't want the government to forbid them from taking a job that they want by setting a minimum wage. Cutting out the bottom of the labor market doesn't help poor people.
I'm curious what the development process was behind standards like J1772, which is the basis for CCS type 1. It's not a great connector to begin with.

I've had both Teslas and J1772 EVs for a number of years. Plugging in the J1772 cars is always a little game to get the connector lined up and at the right angle to connect to the car. Sometimes it takes 5 or 10 extra seconds to get it just right. But the Tesla connector just slides right in and orients itself perfectly with no effort. Push the button on the handle, door opens, insert connector -- 2 seconds every time, reliably.
Standard REPL doesn’t work?
We don’t hear about traditional banks freezing money as much online banks. Maybe people who use traditional banks are mostly running traditional businesses with well understood risk profiles.

Also traditional banks make you go through a lot of paperwork upfront, so they probably don’t have as much as risk online banks which approve everyone without much paperwork. So that’s why online banks aggressively block anyone who is high risk and start doing big enough volume.
It is amazing how much less time it takes to pay off a 30 year mortgage if you increase the payments 10%. The first good many years are paying mostly just the interest.

Unions do not change the value their members produce, which puts a ceiling on the wages they can negotiate. Companies won't hire people who cost more than they produce.

exLlama is blazing fast. Even if they just benched exllamav1, exllamav2 is only a bit faster, at least on my single 3090 in a similar environment.

vLLM is focused more on batching performance, but even then MLC/TVM looks like its putting up a fight without batching.

I am a bit fatigued with llama backends myself, and it looks like this won't help me run 70B in a single 3090, but I need to dig into mlc again.
With better tooling this kind of status quo will change. Choosing a single worst case for design is a product of manual design processes. With modern computer technology we can run multiple cases easily, so we can now use probabilistic engineering techniques.

In the future it won’t be “this bridge is good for 1 in 100 year storm” but “this bridge has a 99.99% chance of surviving every storm during its design life.” That will include the very rare events beyond the 100 year horizon.

> Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella testified that Google's claim that search users have choice is "bogus," while confirming that efforts to compete for default status for Bing failed, despite Microsoft being willing to take billions in losses. At one point, Microsoft even offered to sell Bing to Apple, but Apple rejected that deal, allegedly because the deal it had with Google was just too good to let go.
> it's impossible to tell whether someone forgot to check an error

How, exactly, does one find themselves in a situation where they forget to add entire blocks of logic to their application and not notice? We're not exactly talking about subtle bugs here. This is completely missing functionality – something that becomes immediately obvious as soon as testing begins.

Which, I guess, means that the previous developer did no testing at all. In which case, where do you even begin to figure out what else they have forgotten? Such a codebase, no matter the language, may not even be salvageable at that point.

Nerves doesn’t support microcontrollers, e.g. Raspberry Pico.
I think so. NACS is a much more user-friendly connector than J1772 and CCS type 1. Adapters are a hassle, and it will be nice once we get past that, but this is objectively the best solution on the market.
Nerves is a framework meant to run on relatively beefy embedded systems (not microcontrollers) and uses the normal BEAM. AtomVM is its own VM suitable for running on microcontrollers in much more resource constrained environments than Nerves could ever get close to running on.
A few more years of development and it will be capable of going out and getting its own weapons.
> Composition is usually boring (very center-aligned and symmetrical) and if you try to control it by using words like "camera", it will put cameras in the picture half the time.

> Typical AI failure modes: "anime" generates a kind of commercial/fanart style that doesn't exist rather than frames from a TV show.

- Again, be more descriptive and specific with your prompts. ie; 'a character in the style of 'Naruto'. Need to specify the show or artists instead of using the broad term "anime".

> You can't generate things if they're hard to explain in English, like "a keyboard whose keys are house keys".

- One more time, you just need to be more specific. do: 'a computer keyboard, but instead of regular keys, replace each one with a metal house key.'
Rent a $5/mo Linux VPS and be happy. I think more people should do this because what you learn (and you'll learn a lot) is the foundation of everything else. Do this even if you are a programmer used to deploying to sophisitcated CI/CD stacks and k8s. The tight resource constraints (e.g. 1G RAM) are good for you - they make you think, and take care what you run and when you run it. Learn to setup ssh on both ends; learn to tail auth.log; learn how to write bash library functions; learn to run podman if you must; learn to update your OS; learn about tmux and htop and a 1000 other things. Literally all of these skills are applicable to everything else - they are elementary. If you ship it you own it and if you think you can avoid learning this stuff you're wrong. Take heart: the stakes are very low so you can make mistakes. The worst that will happen is hackers take over your VPS and ddos someone for a bit and you have to wipe and start over.
I'm not that optimistic about an algorithm producing useful results from a text-based description given the solution space is any possible combination of any number of shapes. The data structure for 3D objects also depends on your software. Where CAD matters professionally, there usually are strict requirements or business rules that would rule out an "average .OBJ files that had these tags"

Now, I AM optimistic about algorithms solving for useful relationships between pre-defined objects, like routing conduit through a building without collisions or optimizing a lumber cut-list. Finch and Hypar are interesting small companies in this space.

There are some criminals with guns, but they almost exclusively use them against other criminals. I have zero concern that someone breaking into my house will have a gun, and everyone I know who has ever actually spotted someone breaking in to a place has had the criminal run away immediately rather than initiate any kind of violence.

I won't comment on 1 and 2 but 3) is laughably untrue. I guess the word 'many' might be stretched to mean 'a few' but I've worked at more than one very large utility directly as an engineer responsible for design of large generation and transmission interface systems and these transformers are not only not spare, they're almost impossible to get quickly even at current market demand. If you toasted even 10 percent of the large generation and transmission transformers in North America it would be years before the grid would even come close to working again, and that's if there was nation state level resources applied.

These are specialized machines that require specialized labor and specialized materials from a specialized international supply chain to construct. I'd make the bet that total recovery would be decades.

This is exactly how I feel about Go error handling (which I prefer to other languages).

Error checks become a syntactic formalism that are easy and quick to type, easy and quick for the eye to scan, but have just enough presence to make sure you think through your error situation whenever and wherever you need to.

Go gives me a confidence in my code's error handling that is harder to get in other languages I've used, where the error situation is typically muddier.

There is no good way to deal with name changes. You can change them in the metadata, but the old ones will still be around in the paper itself. You can let authors change them in the paper, but the old ones will still be around in others' bibliographies. You can't do much about the bibliographies, since (1) you'd need an automated way to find them all and disambiguate them (have fun with Chinese names) and (2) a lot of authors will reject the idea that someone else changes their papers.
