I'd be curious if the addition of zstd compression has any effect on the results. Could be a fun follow-up follow-up :-)
well the American alpine club has an average income that's in the six figures iirc. however when there's an annual fee of $100 or so, it's a bit of selection bias.

however one of their perks is the "Live your dream" grant where they fund amateur climbers to go on their dream trip once a year. it's application based but I've known people who've gone to the Karakorum on it.
In other words... you made it up to confirm your bias?
A 5kw generator is about as much as an adult can lift into a pickup truck alone. Connect it to a charge port that allows charging while moving, and you can extend range by....

If it takes you 4 hours to drive 300 miles, in that time you would have added about 60 miles. (4 hours x 5kw x 3miles per kwh)
Well it's Friday and i have some time to kill. Before i start, creating a language is hard and i am just making random comment on the internet.

From the "why webassembly" section :

> When making a programming language, you need to decide how your programs will actually be executed.

In abstract maybe, and obviously some language features might make an interpreter or a compiler harder/easier to make. But in general and in practice the language semantic and the "execution mode" can be treated independently. Some of the languages mentioned even have multiple style of execution (AOT, JIT, interpretation , compilation etc...)

> Onyx does not rely on libraries like LLVM to generate its code, because WASM is so simple to target.

In term of correctness maybe. It will be interesting to see what happens as performance and more complex code pattern need to be supported. Most language evolve some type of high level representation between the AST and they target of choices for language specific transformation and error reporting (SIL,clangIR and HIR? not sure about that last one).

>My strategy was to wrap libwasmer.a, the standalone library version of Wasmer, into my own custom WASM loader, to allow imported functions to be linked against native libraries

Doesn't this both limit the portability and introduce potential security risk (and thus negating the whole point of wasm) ?

I think the inter reaction with the outside world is what WASI and the other is trying to address.

I'm all for wanting OSS drivers, but Nvidia does support its hardware across for many many years
I still have a (translated) copy of that book!
I'm on the fat client train with my company and I nudge my clients that way if they're open. It's just a great way to build a system.
Thanks, I received the same email.
This makes no sense to me. Most talk about "recycling" space junk forgets that it's a lot like recycling bullets on a battlefield. The mass is there, but good luck catching it.
Yes, “tf edit” would mark on the server that you were opening the file for editing, and cleared the read-only bit, but it didn’t lock the file for others or prevent concurrent edits in any way.
I use Firefox, but I'll point out that MS Edge has its own extension store that isn't run by Google. Google can make things as slow as they like in their store and it won't affect Microsoft unless Microsoft goes along with it.
They don't have the same vertical integration as SpaceX/Starlink.
I've had this experience with RAG systems as well, but I've been wondering if structuring unstructured text (like a novel) in the form of a knowledge graph may solve this problem.

Perhaps coupling a vector embedding search with a knowledge graph created from unstructured text could lead to more informed answers from LLMs?

It seems as though some companies and researchers are already experimenting with this idea: https://www.nebula-graph.io/posts/graph-RAG.
Because it leads to straight up better products and companies that don't upstream the drivers get outcompeted by the ones that do.

I think you misinterpreted my point. Of course mechanics are doing side jobs, that doesn’t account for the fact that their primary job pay is low. I have my ASE certs, I also get paid to fix auto and heavy machinery on the side.
Nowadays their Linux support is probably better than nvidia; when I bought my nvidia card, the amdgpu drivers were just starting to be a thing, and the radeon drivers were so bad I went nvidia, and it's been a pain ever since. I recently got wayland working, but to give you an idea of performance, I get 86FPS on glxgears when maximized on my 1200p screen.
ceph is latency sensitive, but that should only matter for the servers running ceph and not (as much) the clients using it.

I thought quorum feature of proxmox was also latency sensitive, but this is the only thing I found:

Maybe this doesn't matter if not using HA? I'll read more about it and maybe test it out
I don't think that struggling to write poetry makes the poem worthy. The final result, and its impact on the performer/reader/listener does (and I say this as a poet).

Many of my most profoundly impactful (to myself and others) works birthed themselves painlessly in thirty minutes or less. Several ones that mean the most to me in less than five minutes.
That has always been journalism. “Sources” encompasses all sources from whistleblowers to employee leaks to random overheard conversations on the internet or AFK.

Without knowing too much about Ghana specifically, I have been to third world countries and seen some of the conditions that prevent an economy from flourishing. It is usually a lack of property rights altogether (autocratic governments that take from individuals at will, which you can only avoid by being too small to cut down), deep corruption in the government that basically runs on bribes (whereby the highest bidders thrive), endless violence or war preventing an area from being able to benefit from long-term investment (either public or private), a broken currency system, a broken or nonexistent legal system to settle property disputes. A lack of skilled labor in the country itself, due to brain drain, war, and nonexistent infrastructure.
Should put 2022 in the title.
I mean there’s more sources but ok.
> I repeat: the funny name list was specifically non-Anglo.

Hmm, when I google and click the most relevant result off the top couple, it says: "Many of the names were of American or European origin. But others were Asian, or African"

Let me keep searching... https://world.hey.com/dhh/let-it-all-out-78485e8e#:~:text=In...

Are you sure you're right about the name list? I'll believe a better source if you have one...

> If people are persistently making fun of your name at work you’ve now got to decide if you fight it with HR or find another job. That’s called a hostile work environment.

These weren't worker names.
Oh wow I read “The Shadow of the Wind” and enjoyed it. I didn’t know that there was a series. Thank you for the comment. I now have a few more books to search for in my local used book store.
You can still run it on qemu (even on ARM).
I wish there would be a way to just buy sp500 minus a list of firms, so I could invest in a diversified way without going into Uber and friends (or any other firms that make profits on paper without the cash flow to back it)

> It took a $756 million pre-tax (non-cash) net benefit of unrealized gains related to reevaluating its equity investments. It means their stake in other companies had seen an appreciation in value, which the Company didn't sell or take profits as in unrealized gains and doesn't account for taxes as in pre-tax.

> The Company gained nothing and remains a bagholder in its equity investments, including DiDi, Aurora, Grab Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GRAB), and Zomato stakes.

Uber is turning into a financial company like other transportation giants (Delta, AA). Maybe for the best, as I think everyone understands that self driving Uber is a pipedream.
> Or like psychics and palm readers

Yes, I agree they are like psychics and palm readers, in that they are mostly emotionally manipulating sad marks for profit (or occasionally just doing harmless entertainment... but often not).

I've met one person in my entire life who thought magic was real. Granted I try not to hang out with morons, but I have to imagine the percentage is low.
I don't think ML is substantially different from other technologies that we have deployed that we didn't completely understand: early atomic weapons, early molecular biology, cars, and more. In each case, by deploying a bit with caution, we learned important lessons that allowed us to continue. Rather than sticking our head in the ground and remaining ignorant. In each case there were people calling for the deployments to stop. Of all those, I think only atomic weapons ever represented an existential risk to humanity- and we figured that out within a decade or to and set up political structures to prevent it (although, ideally, we'd have worldwide disarmment).

Unless somebody can make some sort of extremely convincing argument that by deploying this tech we are taking an existential risk, rather than purely banal ones, it doesn't seem reasonble to prevent deployment.

I agree with the discussion that this isnt typical for programmers (employees) but I think for founders it is very different. A successful founder has to put in so much. Even when you arent working, you are often working -- that might mean lunch with a potential investor gatekeeper or a soft pitch to a prior colleague who might refer you to a client. Or working the room at a conference. Or speaking to a lawyer on the phone even when you're at the playground with your children...because otherwise you might lose some critical client sale in the redlining process.

I dont think I've ever worked as much as when I was a founder. There is also the sheer leverage you have over the business and outcome. Every hour invested can mean so much.
What? Do you mean like way far ahead of them? So far, that you're not really in front of them?

How is that ever safer than being behind someone? You can control the following distance if you're behind someone. You can't make someone behind you pay attention or stop, and you can't make someone beside you not change lanes without looking. Why would you ever want to be in their direction of travel?

Seriously, please explain your logic on this. I'm flabbergasted.
InScope | Full-Time | Founding Fullstack Engineer, Founding AI Engineer, Founding Product Designer | San Francisco Bay Area, ONSITE

I'm Avy, CTO and co-founder at [InScope](https://inscopehq.com), where we're creating a financial data platform that gives accounting teams super-powers. My co-founders, Mary and Kelsey, suffered many audits first-hand as finance and accounting leaders at high-growth tech companies like Flexport, Miro, Yelp, and Dropbox.

Join us as our first AI Engineer, our first Designer, or our second Fullstack Engineer (all SF-based). We’ve signed customers, raised a seed round from top investors, and are heads-down building.

Today, finance teams prepare for their audits using Word, Excel, and a whole lot of human effort. We're seeking to change that with software.

All roles will be fast-paced: You will set up systems from scratch, solve a mix of full stack product problems, and build AI-infused data workflows. Our early prototypes are built with Python, JS, React, dbt, and DuckDB, all on AWS. You'll help us choose our production stack.

Would love to chat if you're curious to learn more.

If you keep giving Sony money (including for physical media) they will keep doing things like this.

This totally. This is one of the reasons that classical RDBMS paradigms and software like MySQL still survive despite however people want to talk it down in favor of "Nosql" or non-relational databases like mongodb citing how fast it is or how cool it is in comparison.

For some things, you need the time tested solutions.

There's something pleasant to hand-made tools, dishes, etc. Taking the time to enjoy using, observing something as mundane as a mug or a comb on a regular basis, instead of rushing mindlessly through the day, surrounded by cheap, mass-produced, disposable items.

They're an even greater source of joy when you have some knowledge on them; the same goes for architecture, flora, etc.

Another reminder that the stock market is not about how well a company does, it's about how well its stock can be traded. Uber has never made a profit until just now: it could just as easily collapse tomorrow, but it's a good trading stock.
Remote Work Burnout Is Real
A 1-person company beating IBM & Microsoft really...

Remote: only if consulting
Willing to relocate: no
Technologies: full stack deep learning
Résumé/CV:

Hi I'm Charles. Good at whatever I am currently interested in. I'm looking for consulting work or just a chat if you're looking for advice.

I'm currently interested in full stack deep learning systems for customized LLM work.

Before that I fully designed large scale distributed AI systems for AI researchers.

Before that I led a team for image analysis in a cancer research company.

Before that, I redesigned their instrument and firmware.

Did a lot of electronics before that.

That... doesn't really explain how they can get such a high number? Standard FLOP efficiency on fine-tuning big models is like 30-40%. How can you get 750%?
Uber would have met the inclusion criteria for the S&P500 regardless of the increase in unrealized equity gains it reported last year in Q4.

Notably, this quarters $221 million in profit was not driven by unrealized gains.

The response here isn't to give money to child enslavers because the alternative is more poverty.

The response here is to demand legislation from your own country that makes it unprofitable to companies that employ child labor to continue to do so. Then they will fold up shop or (way more likely) pay adults more. It's not like Nestle barely makes a profit.

It's funny you cite China as evidence supporting your position, when in fact there /was/ a problem with child labor, American companies stopped doing business with those subs, and now wages are higher, the Chinese economy is stronger, and there's a lot less child labor.

Your argument also implies open borders so factory owners can hire low-wage undocumented immigrants under the table is a good thing.

For every child who earns a low wage, that's an adult not earning a wage at all.

And, to be quite honest, it's not great for your reputation to enshrine in writing your opinion that concern over children getting fingers chopped off in factories is "hysteria."
I still find the concept of jaywalking absurd. It doesn't exist in the UK and I first heard about it from an American friend at Uni who was shocked I would "jaywalk" in front of a police officer. I genuinely thought she was winding me up.
Strong disagree with he coffee. I've lived here for 10 years, and coffee here is quite generic.
From where I sit, I welcome the opinionated approach. I don't need my presentation layer to be industry defining. Htmx allows me to quickly make pages in a way that has never been simple for me using other frameworks. I am primarily a backend engineer though. Maybe there is some glaring weakness that I am missing, but I have yet to find something simpler for my needs.
I agree, in spirit, but there are many bad coffee shops and restaurants through out Japan too. They are, obviously, not depicted in the media.

The things that I can praise are mostly things that don’t usually exist outside of Japan, either because foreigners don’t like them or because it’s difficult to make them, some examples include:

- “smart” toilets -- https://jp.toto.com/products/toilet/

- (fresh) もち -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochi

- 卵かけご飯 -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamago_kake_gohan

- あんこ -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_bean_paste

- variety of 漬物 -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukemono

- (cheap! fresh and delicious) sushi (the one we find in American restaurants is… well, Americanized, e.g. cucumber, avocado, bunch of sauce, etc.; you may as well buy californian rolls and call it a day). Good sushi in American restaurants is expensive, that’s why I put emphasis in the word “cheap”.

- 神戸ビーフ -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_beef which you can easily buy in America too, but somehow the quality is not the same, I am not sure why, maybe the pastures or the way they treat the cows. I have no idea.

- kitchen knives -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_kitchen_knife , for example, e.g. Santoku (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santoku), Yanagi-ba (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanagi_ba), Nakiri (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakiri_bōchō), Deba (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deba_bōchō), among others.

That said, Japan also produces a lot of silly stuff:

- U$200 (square-shaped) watermelons -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_watermelon

- U$50 (Egg of the Sun) mangos -- https://www.m-tokusan.or.jp/en/main-products/mango/

- U$200 (Yubari King) melons -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yubari_King

Regarding copyright on characters in the United States [1]:

> US Copyright Statute of 1976 does not explicitly mention fictional characters as subject matter of copyright, and their copyrightability is a product of common law. Historically, the Courts granted copyright protection to characters as parts of larger protected work and not as independent creations. They were regarded as ‘components in a copyrighted works’ and eligible for protection as thus.[5]

But in practice, if you write a fanfiction story which uses Mickey Mouse as a character and get sued by Disney for copyright infringement, you will not win in court regardless of how different your fanfiction story is from any Disney story unless you can afford as many lawyers of comparable quality as Disney can. And even then, who knows?

> Ecology and society determine how we realize those traits - in times of intense competition, we resort to tribal warfare. In times of plenty, we cooperate.

Ecology creates evolutionary pressures for a genetic predisposition to tribal violence. Those genes are still there in times of abundance. They might be activated less in times of abundance, though.

I agree with the "society" part of your comment. Sapolsky's study of Bonobos shows that cultural change via the death of alpha males can have a lasting impact on the level of violence in later generations.
This entire debacle has convinced me that Altman is both smarter and more ruthless (machiavellian?) than anybody who was on the board and, as little as I care about him, his mission, or OpenAI, I still think they are better off with him solidly in charge.

Compare the "triumphant return" letter he wrote (https://openai.com/blog/sam-altman-returns-as-ceo-openai-has...), versus the "we're jettisoning Sam because he's not candid" letter: https://openai.com/blog/openai-announces-leadership-transiti...

The board's letter is a big "WTF" that led to their downfall. Sam's is basically "I'm back and bigger than ever, thanks to all the minions who helped, now let's get back to implementing the singularity".
