That's like asking why a Ferrari costs so much, it's just a car. There's a big difference from a mass produced car with automated processes compared to a product that is pretty much one offs and are made by hand. Pretty much every industry has the equivalent mass produced vs hand made. Leica makes camera lenses for the masses, but they also have a very expensive line of lenses that they only start the hand made process when you're check clears. Clothing, homes, etc all have versions of it.

So unless you can tell me that you've hand ground a telescope mirror of any size to have direct knowledge of the experience, I'd suggest taking a look at the process while considering the size of the mirror discussed. Even the base and the trusses for the assembly will have required design time and iterating through changes. Not sure why this seems so strange compared to all of the other things in life with "accepted" price tags.
Catacombs isn't the first thing I'd think of when I hear the word 'cataphile'
ebook piracy is rampant among the target audience (young/junior developers who are in education or just starting their career) so I’m sure he doesn’t want to release an ebook until paperback sales decline.
I worked at a health insurance company 6 years ago where they brought in a group from Pivotal for a week and we worked with them to see how they ran a Scrum team.

I was amazed. The Scrum master wasn't just some busy body manager who only ran stand-ups, he was constantly floating around throughout the day helping people out. We had 4 developers and 4 consultants, so we mostly paired up and that was super productive. Pivotal tracker was better than Jira. They had a strong focus on getting something working and collaborating. It was eye-opening.

Unfortunately, the company was picking 4 random employee developers from across the organization each week. Most of the organization was contractors, including everyone on my team aside from me. My team used Jira and had no option to use something else. Back on my team, the contractor Scrum master and contractor product owner continued to run the team incredibly ineffectively.

I can't tell if those few consultants I worked with were representative of Pivotal as a whole, but I will say that that week was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal part of my career.
Feedback: looks great, but would also be great to also add stylus compatibility, sketch/doodle mode, add players mid-game, pressure sensitivity, sleep and wake persistence capability, indefinite data persistence, unlimited viewing angle, unlimited battery life, and be storable in the game box indefinitely with a cheap, disposable stylus.
There are a lot of reasons to make a commit other than wanting to make an atomic change meant to be integrated onto shared repository. Ignoring those is just silly.
It should be able to predict the outcomes of human behaviours in specific cases, such as elections.

There is enough knowledge out there on how humans behave, both from examples of past events and scientific knowledge from studies.

Then for elections there is enough human content about how humans are behaving leading up to the event. Elections specifically are long events that people are very vocal about. If you try to use it for something like 'will the demand for toilet paper go up or down this week?' you aren't going to see the same results as there is not enough data in social media.

From that an LLM should be able to predict - well extrapolate - the outcome, basically a glorified opinion poll. This however would need a near real-time knowledge cutoff, so it's not something that current LLMs could do.
I wonder if you could make one better at predictions by training it only on actual outcomes and not include any data with speculation.
Instead of the slow decline that’s happened for years, they increased their usage by 3.3% in a month!

But who in their right mind thinks "just tax them" is the solution? What if poop from the parasites who kill us from the inside had a little nutritious value? That would make parasites good right?

Aider sounds like a cool tool, I'll have to try it out. I'm assuming it makes use of your local files and edits them for you?

Are there any other programming assistant packages that use the chatgpt api like this?

Regarding rate limits, it might be an idea to have configurable delays built in to the testing code to prevent hitting limits.
Maybe we had to think our problems were important so we can surivive. I get your point though, we're due to revisit our priorities. Especailly as science continues to show us what's possible, and what's at stake. Turns out the universe is bigger than anyone imagined and we're probably not going to be visited by Little Green Men any time soon eager to tell us the meaning life, the universe and everything in between.
This is an often parroted conspiracy theory rooted in novices looking at leaked documents and not really understanding the context. Just because GCHQ shares data with NSA it does not mean the program lacks controls that protect American citizens. Partner data is still filtered for US nexus and tagged appropriately as to require multiple layers of approvals and oversight to query or view.

Sure! The power of a motorcycle nowadays is limited by the ability of the pilot to tame it without hurting her/himself. Start with a Kawasaki H2 Turbo before you consider the need for more.
the monika 'fx' is often used by graphics pipelines or rendering to mean special effects, and thus often take on the connotation of being related to graphics or rendering (e.g., javaFX).

I dont think wasmfx should use this monika, as it makes it sound more graphics related than it really is. Naming and connotation of a name is important, as it frames the way people think about things.
Fox News has never published a retraction?
F*ck these assholes. Pardon my language but I can’t hold back. Someone somewhere decided that this was a problem worth solving? You can’t stop it and also say it affects a small number of users. Which one is it? Was it a noisy neighbor problem?

I used homebridge for years and now this nonsense.

Maybe someone can build an SDR version that simulates the garage door remote? Then these jackasses can’t stop it.

I felt bad about getting 12/24 which is basically "randomly guessing," somehow you did worse than random :D
All it can tell you that you remember going to bed, and nothing between that and waking up, is that that's what you remember. Nothing guarantees that's all there is to remember, and memory editing has already been reduced to standard-of-care medical practice in the form of pharmaceuticals such as midazolam. Why assume nothing similar would be possible in the virtualized case?
Just curious, what are some of those footguns your team is encountering? Only thing that comes to mind is the somewhat tedious error handling imposed by the language. Which language would you say had _less_ footguns than go? Or was this sarcasm and it went straight over my head?
A few options.

* Keep in touch with past colleagues. Use linkedin. Congratulate them when they post something. This will take a few years.

* Go to 1 meetup/month. Talk to people there, but don't make plans outside of the meetup. This will take a few months.

* Write something regularly. Create a newsletter from it. This will take a few months to years.

* Post to HN anonymously. Keep making insightful comments. This will take a few weeks to months, depending on your level of insight.

All of these will grow your professional network without excess social activity.

Hell, in Spain you can't even legally pay anything in cash if it costs more than 1,000 EUR. In Greece, the limit is 500 EUR.
This is ridiculous.

Promotors should be more responsible than the Regulators?

If it was obviously a fraud at the time, the police and SEC should have shut it down. Why expect some random celebrity to do more diligence and gatekeeping than the officials that license FTX?

If a product is legal to sell, and legal to advertise, then actors should not be held responsible.
> If they were popular with their customers they wouldn't be small banks, they'd be big banks.

What? That’s not how businesses work. Businesses don’t grow indefinitely, they size themselves to fit an underserved niche. Pretty much every census region still has one or several local banks and one or several credit unions, all serving the needs of people and businesses underserved by larger banks. And they do very well. Too much growth would precisely undermine their edge in serving these customers, for exactly the reasons I outlined in my original comment.

No.
Two of my favorites of this genre are "Ikea Furniture or Metal Band" and "Drug or Pokemon". I did terribly at the first one since I don't know enough metal I guess, but I aced the latter, despite realizing that "Remoraid" actually does sound more like some sort of join pain cream or something than a pokemon.
It is a reach and that’s kind of the issue I guess. You have no idea whether or not people involved would call you a Nazi or what for, only that they might.

I am probably overreacting to this because I have encountered it in the workplace before. Politics constantly being brought up inappropriately & the only safe move was to go out of your way to signal to the right people that you were on their “team”. The occasional political witch hunt over nothing would happen. A good portion of the company spent most of the day talking politics instead of working but I assume nothing was done out of fear of retaliation. A lot of really bizarre things, but hopefully not the norm.
I used to think planes flew. I was really excited by what they seemed capable of when I heard about them.

But when I saw one in person, I was disappointed. I saw no flapping. I saw no feathers.

Sure I saw it soar through the clouds but that's just sleight of hand I'm sure. A trick. Planes surely do not fly.

--first-parent is incredibly useful, but having both merge commits and properly curated atomic commits under them is even more useful.
Last 2 companies I’ve worked at have been elixir shops. Both of them had no trouble at all hiring elixir devs. At my previous company we hired close to 30 in a 6 month period in 2021. At my current bigco job we had more elixir devs pass the interview process than we have open slots (and we had a ton of slots).

I’ll also add that over many years of doing this, the elixir devs I’ve interviewed tend to be far above average, which makes up for the lower number of candidates.

If you want to hire thousands of fresh grads each year and don’t want to spend any time on training, sure go for something they teach in school.
10/24. Wow. You'd think it would be hard to do worse than a coin flip. On the other hand, I guess many coin flip sets are going to end up "worse than a coin flip" :D

Damn that stings and it's so true.

> But if your peers come to trust you, then they learn not to reject a PR that cleaned up this module a little more than strictly necessary

I've never had an issue where a coworker rejected a PR, even when doing a massive refactor that isn't strictly necessary.

Project managers are the ones that don't see this kind of work and it's benefits. They're the ones that I find it hard to build trust with.
Human organizations are, strangely enough, natural systems, which are notoriously hard to control without making them worse. It's one thing to know how a beaver dam works; it's another to muck about with the river hoping to come up with a better dam.
Peer review is a modern invention, so benchmarking whether or not science is working based on peer review is a bizarre notion. What we're seeing is indeed old-school science working as it always has.

What's the TL;DR?
As an experiment, I just went to ChatGPT and tried to solve the problem as if I were OP and here's the result: https://chat.openai.com/share/3f0fe9cd-76ff-44ac-956f-cfb332...

I certainly found it helpful, even as a basic refresher of the field and I learnt a new thing which is apparently there is no single book that explicitly focuses on helping founders move on which feels like a business opportunity?

But also, you can see how I got to a useful place from first principles with the help of an AI. I stopped where I felt I was sufficiently interested that if I were in OPs shoes, I would have just bought the whole book and read it through and I did it in about 15 minutes although I admit I was cheating since I had an end goal in mind already.

I've left it for anyone else to go further in whatever direction and close the gap between where I ended and specific advice like you have provided.
Right, I think async is bad. We have threads, and operating system level isolation with processes. For the most part, these primitives work fine.

My code wasn't blocking, but it did a very small amount of computation, locked on what was typically a highly contended (async) lock, and then dispatched a bunch of blocking I/O operations. Each of these turned into a context switch under the hood.

There were parts of my code that were computer intensive, but determining that without being able to use my normal tools was a pain, and I had to come up with heuristics of whether or not to dispatch with spawn_blocking, since the call had significant overhead.

An abstraction that was meant to simplify program resulted in me spending a lot more time staring at it.

I think one difference with Python is that the async implementation doesn't try to hide or abstract I/O away from you. If you're doing I/O, you know you're going to block, and thus you're forced to acknowledge it by spawning it on another thread.
Is this about Pratt as Mario?
Ha, I messaged him (on skype, of course) about my intel UHD 620. I can already imagine him begging for my 128mb card.
Exactly!

It would seem people would know this but apparently it's a surprise to some.
The Mario Movie was directed by a couple guys who were best know for creating Teen Titans Go!, which had similar middling reviews.

If I had to guess Nintendo is going with people they think can do a lot with a relatively modest budget.

Maze Runner pulled in $350 million on a $34 million budget, which is remarkable. The franchise made $950 million on a $150 million dollar budget which is wild.

Nintendo isn’t going for high art with these. They want someone who will make an entertaining enough movie while staying faithful to the material.

The way Pivotal Labs works is that people who don't buy into the whole culture tend to migrate out pretty quickly. The ones that do buy in, stay around for a long time, learn things inside and out, and end up getting farmed out to places like yours. So you generally get the best of the best on consulting agreements like that.

I've heard some horror stories about Pivotal as well. Not everyone or every project was perfect. Their pricing is also insane. I'm sure your company paid through the roof for what you got.

But overall, the general education that I got there for how to run projects and build products is hands down the best thing I've ever learned in software engineering. It is funny, they don't teach that sort of stuff in schools as much as they focus on just teaching you how to code.

Oh and PT is hands down better than Jira, but that is a low bar since Jira is really shit. That said, it isn't necessarily about the tool, but how you use it. PT can be used for good as well as evil and knowing how to write stories, point them properly and manage them, is a learned skill.
> Her arguments comport with the law

No it doesn't.

Because that's not what the courts say.

And the court system isn't changing anytime soon.

> I just don’t find your appeal to authority

The courts are quite literally the authority. By definition. They decide.

If you don't like it then change the law, get a new court system (hint: this is not very likely), or overthrow the government in a literal revolution.

Those are your only 3 options.

Complaining about it, or even worse, wasting the court's time with arguments that aren't going to work is worthless and instead a harmful waste of resources.

> is a court-created fiction itself

All laws are fiction created by people.

"The law" is just another way of saying "words written on a piece of paper".

The words on the piece of paper are indeed nothing more than fiction.

What matters, instead, is how those words are interpreted, used, and enforced by people. Nothing more.

Welcome to living in a society.

> how is that a bad argument?

It is a bad argument because it failed in the court system and will continue to fail. It will fail for decades to come.

It will keep failing until the law changes, the courts change their mind (unlikely... 6-3 conservative majority in the supreme court, for decades to come) or the actual revolution happens.
Frankly, I think eventually machines will do it all. I see AGI as the universal automation that can do everything a human can - apart from “being human”.

Probably a problem fixed by time. We laugh a little when we hear the ENIAC took up an entire room and required an entire staff all for 500 floating-point operations per second. Sure, maybe it's difficult to scale current lithography much further, but someone will probably come up with something.

I think this has to be something to do with Oracles Mellanox holdings, they must be getting a better price or have a license that means they can deploy GPU clusters cheaper. Otherwise why would nvidia give an allocation to oracle over Microsoft.

But a lot of programmers think compilers are magic. Maybe because they read about stuff like parser generators, register allocators, optimizations, etc., that are not strictly necessary. It's empowering to remind people that a seemingly hard task is within their reach.
> that would probably lead to adverse inference against the criminal, not against the officer, because it's the criminal who made it so that there was no evidence.

That's how things should work, but wouldn't the idea in question mean that, just as with other zero-tolerance rules, common sense like that wouldn't be allowed anymore?
> don't care about company social events or other events for professionals

It's really worth socializing at least a little bit with everyone and anyone - just get to know their name... and slowly what they do on the weekend, if they have a partner/kids, etc., just for chit chat. It can be a few minutes at a time, water cooler type stuff.

You don't have to go out to lunch / drinks with people or get to know them deeply, but it really pays to not just sit at your desk and ignore everyone except for your manager/immediate coworkers.
In an ideal world, the peer reviewers wouldn't know the author of the paper, right?
Because while the model at baseline is a regression towards the mean, it is easily biased based on additional context - one of the big eye openers in research over the past 18 months has been the impact and success of in context learning alone.

So with an LLM you have a very broad basis that can be biased into a niche application in a single unit whereas with humans you have a fairly static set of capabilities that are widely and normally distributed across individual units.

You can be lucky in finding the right unit for the task with humans that are extremely good at extending a given context. But you need to have been lucky with matching the unit's performance with the right context. A different unit will suck.

But LLMs given enough coverage in the training set and enough additional context to bias towards that subset of the training set can be consistently good (and will likely continue to get better).
