Anyone using bazel at startups? Or is it thought off as too heavyweight?

Context: I'm ex-Google and I think blaze/bazel brings enough to the table to be worth the complexity even for startups, but wondering I'm underestimating the actual complexity.

It's hard to make any sort of argument towards piracy being immoral when stuff like this is allowed to happen.

>It would be interesting to compare the microcode.

I've disassembled the microcode[1], it's similar to the 8086 but with some changes:

- No subroutines are used (effective address calculation and most of multiply/divide handled by dedicated logic). CORR is also no longer needed.

- The 'update flags' bit now has a second function: on a jump, it causes the next micro-instruction to always be executed unconditionally (saving one clock cycle in case the jump is taken)

- MOVS / INS / OUTS are optimized, using a special memory-to-memory (or I/O) transfer; the microcode for this has the 'IRQ' bit set. The address isn't loaded into IND for these anymore (tested it with LEA reg,reg) - maybe it's using the DMA controller?

- Slightly different condition codes ("CX not zero" was added for LOOP/JCXZ; "segment prefix is present" for adjusting IP on interrupted string instructions).

- Order of the 4 instructions in each 84-bit row is shuffled around for some reason

the version of the eye of the needle being a particular gate in Jerusalem that I heard is that it was a short entrance. so a camel could conceivably go through it, but you would have to take off any provisions it is packing and the camel would have to kneel down to get through. Which I think would square with other teachings of Jesus, which is that a man CAN get into heaven by humbling himself (kneeling) and casting off his worldly possessions first.

Uber Joins the S&P 500
I’ve been writing Drupal code as my day job since 2009, and honestly I think it’s fabulous. It serves a narrow niche very well. People try to use it outside that niche, and they suffer. I feel for them. It’s not the right tool for everyone. You really have to be willing (and have the time and resources) to learn the entire framework, and figure out the Drupal way to do whatever it is you’re trying to do. The learning curve is indeed quite considerable. But it is a formidable toolkit, once you’ve learned it, and you can do really great work with it, really quickly.
It's been a recurring topic of conversation whether Uber would ever reach this milestone. The S&P 500 requires members of the index to be profitable in the latest quarter and over the past year, which Uber achieved for the first time in Q3.

Uber reported net income of $221 million on $9.29 billion in revenue in the third quarter, and in the past four quarters altogether it generated over $1 billion in profit.
Right? And the audacity to claim calling them out is harassment is just uhm … creepy to say the least.
3. working seamlessly would be a major thing. 1. and 2.? I used both, together, for months, via TypingMind.com (alternative frontend UI, bring-your-own-API-key).

This is not to advertise the service - even though it does deserve it, at the very least for having a perpetual license instead of subscription bullshit - just to say that a) OpenAI is lagging way behind the obvious in everything surrounding the models themselves, and b) the combination of 1. and 2. is convenient, but not ground-breaking. At least, not unless you hook a powerful enough "actuator" via 2. This, I agree, seems underexplored.

(Or underreported? It's an obvious lever to go after, a lot of people have said they're going after it, it's reasonable to expect some spectacular results from this, and yet... nothing. Crickets. Is everyone just staying silent and trying to build a bullshit startup to monetize whatever cool thing they made?)
Absolutely true - it's actually crazy how much of an art form YTP became. (Not sure how popular it is these days?). It was a whole style with its own conventions, memes, etc. And on the surface, it seems really stupid, but there's a lot of creativity and talent that went into those wild videos.

Child labor was only outlawed in the 1930s. The exception that still stands today is farm labor. Many states will even let you get a restricted drivers license as early as 15 if you work on a farm.

Also, ` They gave her a backpack and schoolbooks with the slogan "I am a child, I play, I go to school."' is one of the most neo-colonial statements I've read in a long time.

I have 2 custom GPTs, 1 of which I use every day called Snarky IT Wizard. I uploaded the PDFs for my particular router firmware version so I can ask questions, I've specifically configured it to be sarcastic and insert humor into both responses and the code it generates. Honestly, using it makes my day every time.

The other I was tailoring as a dungeon master for 5th edition, I've uploaded PDFs of all the source materials I can purchase.

My only gripe with the system is that as of late the whole openai platform has been experienced issues constantly and I get errors when trying to customize or even ask it questions from time to time.
Historically, we've seen the larger languages build themselves up by intentionally stamping out the teaching / use of smaller local languages. France banned some regional languages from appearing on broadcast television for years, and etc.

This might be required to get full buy in for a unified language, which is a bit sad but makes some sense - if you ensure it's taking up more and more of media and culture more people know it from immersion, and other languages are reduced to being spoken at home / with friends and that's going to cut into how many people really are fluent in them.
To the contrary, I think we understand each other clearly.

>I wonder if many of the ills in our society are related to this: Many people don't see any dignity or meaning in their work. Maybe they're right. Maybe not. Either way, that's a big problem.

I tend to think it is a central problem too. I think a big part of it is driven by individual overoptimization around the wrong the wrong parameters and a culture of commodification. The general sense I get is that most people spend their life doing meaningless work that makes them unhappy in hopes that they buy enough crap to net happiness. Im guilty of it too, but the older I get, the more confident I am that this simply doesnt work. You can't buy enough crap to break even. Moreover, I'm pretty suspicious of hedonism and the pursuit of happiness in general. I dont think happiness can be sought directly, but is only a byproduct of living with other objectives.
This is why iTunes Movies are the only place I'll buy things - not because this won't ever happen, but because I can download and continue to play those movies offline so long as iTunes software continues existing.
All methods are private except for the initializer and create_user.

Therefore, there's no difference in terms of "implementation hiding (encapsulation)" between the original 4-line function [0] and the class I presented.

Also, there is no testability differences, unless you break encapsulation in your tests and test private methods directly with things like send(:find_admin_role). As much as this is seen in Ruby, this is not something that would pass a code review.

This class is just 9 methods in a trenchcoat pretending to be that 4-line function.

And in case you think this not a strawman example. I provide a real-world case in another message. [2]

Contemplating the exploitation of children makes you feel good about yourself? To the extent anyone is virtue signalling, it's the comment arguing we should throw this under the rug because everyone isn't sufficiently morally invested.
>If you ban child labor the jobs don't go away. The process still requires the same amount of labor. So, employment will increase, and with the higher labor demand, so will wages.

Sounds good, until you realize that doesn't do much for the starving family with kids to feed. Even though there might be some knock on effect to increase the adults' earnings, there's no way that it'll match the lost income from the kids not working.
Oh dear - shame on the official...

... but which countries aren't fictional? Is there really such a thing a country? Its just an idea.

I'm not even joking - countries are a fiction, a social construct - there is no basis for these except as accepted ideas in peoples minds. Like 'Scrooge' or 'government' or 'Jesus' or any number of other things - these are just ideas without a basis in my reality. Do birds or dogs recognise such things?

Most private Windows installations are security nightmare where a single click on "Yes" installs malware with admin rights: some things just never change and that's why so many people get scammed.

There are ways to word this without being deceptive. American Express charge cards do not claim to have “unlimited spending power.” They say “no preset spending limit” and explain that they constantly evaluate how much you can charge.

It's your fault for not having 2 extra phones on you in case your phone bricks itself at a bad time.

It's your fault for not encrypting your signal messages by hand, encryption bugs aren't a big deal, if they're a big deal to you, it's because you're trusting a system with a single point of failure, and the consequences of that inevitable failure are not acceptable to you. Stop doing that.

That I didn't know. I'm inclined to believe it, and it seems at first glance to clear-up in my mind quite a few things about government in general that keep surprising me.
Similarly, the pound is often refered to as "pound sterling" or "British pound" outside of Britain. I suppose it is because outside of the home country, "30 marks" and "30 pounds" are ambiguous terms without the prefix/suffix

> Doesn't a1111 already do this?

Not that provides the same thing, no, largely because of fundamental design differences.

> Theres a PNG Info tab where you can drag and drop a PNG and it will pull all the prompt, inverse prompt, model, etc. And then a button to send it to the main generation tab.

A1111 by nature, has a bunch of disconnected operations in separate tabs and scripts. Even if the PNG captures all of a generation operation that would be executed by a single launch-button click, its not really equivalent to capturing a whole ComfyUI workflow, which can be the equivalent of a process which would be numerous different tasks in A1111 with manually shuttling data between tabs and scripts.

A1111 has a bunch of manual "send to X" buttons to do with the output of runs, so that they can be the input of another task, wherein in Comfy those operations are part of one workflow with a pipeline connecting the output of one to the input of another. And when saving generation data, those manual shuttle points in A1111 are barriers as to what is part of a single generation that can be saved.
This part of Zeiss probably wouldn't exist without ASML, and maybe one day when next-gen tech is out tbe exclusivity might be lifted...
I also still find it kind of odd, but it's not like the light is doing nothing.

Typically, at least here in Germany, a crossing cycles between two states:

* Cars can go north/south, pedestrians can cross the east and west roads
* Cars can go east/west, pedestrians can cross the north and south roads.

The key thing here is that pedestrians don't cross the "active" direction, i.e. when cars are going in a straight line from south to north, they will never run into a pedestrian crossing the road in front of them. This is ideal, because cars going in a straight direction tend to go quickly, so we want to alternate fast cars and pedestrians.

However, obviously cars don't just go north and south, sometimes they turn. To turn, the car naturally needs to slow down, and also typically be more aware of their surroundings. Theoretically, this means that they are a lot more likely to see, and be able to stop for, a pedestrian crossing the road as they turn.

The argument then goes that this group of cars is slow and aware enough that they can share a stretch of road with pedestrians (unlike fast cars traveling in a straight line, which must not share a stretch of road with pedestrians). Which means that you could allow pedestrians to cross if (and only if) the cars that they would intersect with are slow, turning cars. The advantage is that you go from three states in the cycle (cars N/S, cars E/W, all pedestrians) to two (cars N/S + pedestrians E/W, cars E/W + pedestrians N/S), which improves throughput because fewer people need to wait.

In practice, this works for relatively small junctions with one or possibly two lanes, but three+ lanes become more complicated and need more states to handle the cars going left and right from different directions. But there is a thought process here about trying to find the right balance between safety and efficiency. As someone from the UK, I'm not sure I'm a fan, but some of that might just be not being used to it.
Some of the solutions are quick and dirty, mostly dirty. And that's not art, but programming kitsch.

Sure, there's a spectrum. Maybe you think union busting or the tipped minimum wage are also ethical concerns. But forced labor with trafficked children has to be at one end of the spectrum that has to fall into any definition of unethical labor. And yeah I think even a little child slavery is a problem.
Yep, and I think overall, there are a lot of unhappy people who optimized for the wrong thing with misplaced blame.
Britain left the "chimney sweep" phase, in part, by extracting extraordinary amounts of value from its colonial holdings.

The brand name 'The North Face' is inspired by mountaineering where the north face of a mountain often is the most interesting but also difficult side as it's always in the shade (in the northern hemisphere). E.g., the Alps have the famous classical north faces of Eiger, Matterhorn and Grandes Jorasses which are climbed by only the most accomplished mountaineers.

"They look the same" is so burned into my brain that it's part of my basic vocabulary. I cannot count the number of times I've said "they look the same" in that goofy voice while looking at a diff, PR, or comparing two config files or something.

In a similar vein, the famous "Miss Teen South Carolina" stuck in my craw, and I often throw out a "like such as" when demonstrating something for humorous effect.

I guess these pop culture references really date me, but among my age group they get a laugh, for whatever that's worth.

Six months is nowhere near enough time to learn the framework well enough to do anything worthwhile. It’s just enough time to get incredibly frustrated and leave for a tool that’s more appropriate for your current needs. It takes years to get your head around the entire thing. Those of us who (for whatever cursed reason) were able to stick with it that long can in fact do great work with it. I wouldn’t build a corporate website any other way, for example. But I 100% understand people who don’t think that’s a good investment of their time.
No, but something that stands out about the Fit is that Honda actually gives a shit and gives you a first rate experience in a small car. Compared to other cars in the same model year, the Fit always gives you more headroom, more interior space, more usability of that space, better visibility out every side, and a smaller overall footprint. Other manufacturers treat the category as just a fleet mpg helper and don't really care about what it is like to live with the car.

My 09 Fit is about to cross 350k miles and if it broke tomorrow I'd probably be cross shopping a newer used Fit and a used Golf. Electric is only a nice-to-have in my personal wants list, and I am not buying new so I don't really care about what's around the corner.

With regards to the chevy bolt, Regular Car Reviews drove a gen 1 Fit for ages so if he says a small car is sad, I think I can trust him.
