That has nothing to do with deployments on Fridays.

I didn't say that. I also worked at places that did small deploys daily. But we still didn't deploy on Fridays. I deploy with my own projects, to production, many times each day. But I still try to avoid Fridays.

I disagree. You complain about the industry as a whole but can't deal with basic criticism to back it up.
Seems super cool.
Although I’m using firefox.
Did you thought about implementing it in firefox? Or sharing the codebase?

P.S: not quite sure on this one, but if there’s a way to rate limit withiut using email, (specifically in firefox?) it would be much better.
Recent CUDA releases let you use shared GPU memory instead of (only) dedicated vram, but the pci-e bandwidth constrains the inference speed significantly. How much faster is GPU access to the unified memory model on the new Macs/how much less of a hit do you take?

Also, given the insane cost premium apple charges per extra GB of RAM (at least when I was last shopping for a device), do you come out ahead?
The additional control/features (support for grammars, constraints, fine-tuning, etc) far o/w the cost savings.
Similarly, I use Shutter Encoder as an early stage of my pipeline to convert to less painful codecs.
You don't have to redo the whole thing, but there are nuances, just like switching between any framework. I was actually able to use a much shorter prompt with VertexAI than OpenAI.

One of the big problems we will have with these large, hosted models is version changes. They don't support them for very long because they are expensive to run and they only have so much capacity. You typically have to redo prompts with each new version. This is why I think self-hosted will eventually win. The upstream vendor will break your pipelines and there's not much you can do about it. With models you control, you decide when they update and can test / update thoroughly before you do.
No TOS needed, there's already international copyright law that explicitly disallows this. With a system like this, you are _embedding copyrighted content into your website without consent_. If it was a single quote, a comment, or maybe even a screenshot it might be exempted, but you cannot just copy/paste someone's full content into your website without permission.

PS, Hacker News might not even be in the position to officially allow this, similarly to how a generic OSS dev cannot just relicense a project without getting consent from all contributors (or a previous CLA).
How Britain Put One of the Best Health Care Systems on Life Support
It's great software for the use case that Python is intended for. Python is supposed to be glue code. You embed a scripting runtime in your application, do all the heavy lifting in C, but configure your building blocks in Python so that you can easily reconfigure them as needs change.

NumPy, SciPy, TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, Pandas, Pillow, lxml, cjson, PyCapnP, Tornado, fast-avro, etc. all get it right. They are wrappers around C (or in some cases: Fortran/assembly/CUDA) code, where the overflow of Python method dispatch is dwarfed by the hundreds of thousands of iterations of an inner loop that's in optimized, vectorized assembly. Django, Protobufs, and Avro get it wrong (often for portability or developer velocity sake), where they wrote the whole library in Python at the expense of performance.

I was briefly tempted to write an API-compatible reimplementation of Django with the core in C++ when I left Google, but by then Django (and server-side web programming) was already falling out of favor, and if you're just shipping JSON to a SPA you can use cjson with any number of fast wsgi or asgi gateways.

Innocent meaning they didn’t do the specific crime, or innocent as in someone with a clean record that was railroaded?

If you’re looking for the criminal that killed a bunch of people but not that specific case it’s not that uncommon. If you’re looking for a squeaky clean guy that was there at the wrong place at the wrong time it’s very rare. Most criminals are repeat offenders.
pet peeve: idempotency is badly named. idempotent literally translated is ‘same power.’ two or more things having the same power doesn’t necessarily mean they produce same, single result. if that were the case we wouldn’t need the special handling for idempotent instructions/commands/actions to ensure duplicates are not created.
I did the same as you and it felt so good. I did a break on the Wednesdays and it was perfect. I really felt way better just because of this break every 2 days. Don't know about the productivity though.
JTE was a like refinding sanity after thinking I'd be stuck with Thymeleaf when I started playing with Spring Boot.
I've always been perplexed by the incentive to get convictions. This is guaranteed to result in prosecutors preferring any method with a lot of false positives.
Also, potentially patent royalties, unless Dell waives them.
If investors still expect the same returns, four-day work week being in effect a labor cost increase will be a no go. And before you mention “productivity”, keep in mind that from the looks of it, AI and tech driven productivity gains go to shareholders, those owning the IPs and the means of production. Yes you can push laws to push companies, but then you are over regulating your country and that too is problematic.
And does fire somehow selectively eliminate c14 but not c12? Because that's the measurement we're making.

It's irrelevant to the OP because radiocarbon dating doesn't go back that far, but your general skepticism is very much misplaced. The people who have been using and improving radiocarbon dating for the last century do in fact know more about it than your superficial armchair doubts.
> Boltons is a set of over 230 BSD-licensed, pure-Python utilities in the same spirit as — and yet conspicuously missing from — the standard library, including:

> Atomic file saving, bolted on with fileutils

> A highly-optimized OrderedMultiDict, in dictutils

> Two types of PriorityQueue, in queueutils

> Chunked and windowed iteration, in iterutils

> Recursive data structure iteration and merging, with iterutils.remap

> Exponential backoff functionality, including jitter, through iterutils.backoff

> A full-featured TracebackInfo type, for representing stack traces, in tbutils

The number of boltons is inconsistent in the description of the project, so I erred in favor of the higher number, as it would likely be more up-to-date in my reasoning.
Lean Co-pilot for LLM-human collaboration to write formal mathematical proofs
In my experience, it's fear over ego. At the last company I worked for, the CEO discovered Marty Cagan and immediately switched the entire company over to following his recommendations. I was on a product team, and we came up with our own strategy to meet our OKRs. The CEO didn't like our approach, and decided that, actually, he was going to both set the objectives, and results, and tell us how to achieve them. We were basically a feature team.

But it wasn't ego, it was fear. The company was running out of runway, we just hadnt been told yet. The CEO adopted the product team strategy as a Hail Mary, out of sheer panic, and he sabotaged it for the exact same reason: he was terrified of not trying it, and then terrified of it not working.

Not only because of this anecdote, but because of several other important ones, I view leadership as being generally fear-driven in their decision making. Ducklike, they appear calm and even confident on the surface, while desperately thrashing and failing below the surface. Or, like someone falling down a hill and reaching out for anything to hold on to.
In case it helps you feel any better, it wasn't available a year ago. I think it was just 3 months ago today that it was available in the US.
jlink only creates a runtime (the parts of the JDK that are actually used by your app), but there's a relatively new command called jpackage for creating installers: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/jpackage/packaging...

EDIT: I see now that you already know jpackage, but you don't want an installer. In that case you can use launch4j, which just wraps a jar in an exe: https://launch4j.sourceforge.net/
I agree with that estimate, I think it was really the idea of Python to be less than "good" by design.

I mean one doesn't need more than:

>>> exit
Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit

to see. They have that special handling, but they still don't want to let you out, because... IMO, they just want to be annoying.

When a solution could be something like:

Note: exit() is needed in scripts. In this prompt Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) can also be used.
Exiting.
Most are just focusing on incident response and reactively improving things. That's why a proactive discipline that prevents these issues from happening is dearly missed.

Even when postmortems are done, information continues to exist in team silos as there is no way to share these learning across teams and enterprises. Hence, everyone repeats each others' mistakes.
We have laws now. Are they problematic?
N.eko – A self hosted virtual browser that runs in Docker
I've begun to think that a shorter workday is as important as a shorter work week. Doing gig delivery for ~3 hours a day, 7 days a week has been less taxing, emotionally and physically, than 7 hours (+lunch, +commute) on a standard work week waging for a retailer, at ~80% of the take-home. I imagine my current set-up would be better than divvying up that 20ish hours over 4 days. But obviously a similar take-home with the same or fewer days would be even better.

And, of course, pay is important, too. I'm only able to do this by walking the TOS knife-edge, and it would be nice if I could make something similar with a "real" job instead. America's workers, in general, should be getting out far more than they do.
I'd prefer the other way around. If the language was verbose but its tools (IDEs, analyzer extension) hid redundant info from you.
I was skeptical at first, thinking it must just embed the raster inside the SVG, but no, this is actually really cool!

The author also wrote the accompanying library, dom-to-svg: https://github.com/felixfbecker/dom-to-svg

It seems to capture the HTML and convert each element to a similar one on SVG. I'm still not sure how it handles raster images (does it just embed them? Vectorize them somehow?) but it's a really cool project. Thanks for sharing!

Mostly by hiring contractors, which is basically not working well for a lot of enterprises.
Considering the opposition to working from home from some parts of (USA) society, I have trouble seeing this get widely adopted. At least in the short to medium term.

The anti-WFH people appear to fall into 3 camps: landlords and property owners, middle management who believe people are not as productive or efficient at home. And, as pointed out in a reply, there's also the group who believe that face to face communication is more agile and fosters more innovation.

Perhaps one question to ask is: who will lose money and/or power due to this move?

Somewhat offtopic: How has WFH been treated in European media? Has it been much the same as the USA?
Kind of amazing that they just admitted that freely.
> Once ogg and mp3 became a thing that sort of went away.

I'd assume the issue was rather the game needing the space: the first few CD game generations took 50, 100, 200MB on the disc, so putting the OST in CD format was a nice easter egg. Note that games didn't generally put all sounds as CD tracks, just the actual music.

Once your game starts filling the CD, to say nothing of needing multiple CDs worth of storage, having the OST included is not an option anymore.

That isn’t complex either. There was no reason besides patents that 3D printing could have been a reality decades ago. Simple math is all you need and gcode isn’t just 3D printing it’s also for CNC, something that was able to be done around that time.
OMG I wish this title were editiorized.

It's should really be mentioned they talking of Godot ports.
Yeah, exactly. The takeaway IMO is that there are different formats best for different kinds of data. There's no "best" or "ultimate" format, it just depends on your use case.
Thanks! Indeed, sharing knowledge programmatically will save time and effort, _while_ improving safety of these systems.
Yes, these are the kinds of companies with 12 hour work days. Staffed by immigrants or poor people, usually.
Even on the same server there's still a race condition if checking the key has been used and marking the key as used aren't atomic if more than one request can be handled at once.
The cache size of those 3d CPUs should definitely play some sort of role.

I can only speculate that it would help mitigate latency with loose timings on a fast OC among other things.
Shorter life of freedom and enjoyment is better than a long life stuck in a box. The real reason why they incentivize cats to stay indoors is to spare bird populations. Anything else is a cope.
How do you introduce e? Just say it's 2.718...? The usual definitions of e involve a limit, and to my knowledge there's no simple geometric definition like there is for pi. Likewise I don't know of a definition of exp that doesn't involve a limit, and there's no simple geometric one that I know of like there is for sin/cos.

(There is a geometric definition of exp that I know of, but it's that it turns a vector into an integral curve, so not so useful without calculus or limits)

You also need limits to be able to talk about the central limit theorem/when a normal even ought to be used. Otherwise you get confused people thinking everything is normally distributed by default.
>The sliding window technique really does effectively cripple its recall to approximately just 8k tokens which is just plain insufficient for a lot of tasks.

For Example, I setup a business on the Oregon side of the Portland, Oregon / Vancouver, Washington border. Oregon doesn't have a sales tax, should I have to pay Washington sales tax because I had someone buy something from my shop in Oregon?

Same kind of deal, omg.lol have my servers located in the United States, payment processing happens in the United States, in United States Dollars. In no way is omg.lol making a special usecase to handle European customers.

Now, Europe is free to attempt to excise their laws againt omg.lol, however they wouldn't get much further than "you're blocked in the EU" and having to get ISPs and transit networks to blocke their traffic, and payment networks to stop serving EU customers for that particular merchant ID.
Can it compete with golang on compilation speed?

It doesn't need to be exactly as fast but similar ball-park would help. If it could, then it would indeed be a fantastic alternative.
I've "corrupted" (from the point of view of GDP productivity and such) a lot of people into asking for (and mostly getting...) a 32h/week work schedule.

I've been doing it for almost 8 years now, and at this point, it's simply a non-negotiable in any sort of employment discussions (that, and not carrying a pager). I work Mon-Thu, 8h/day, and I'm generally unreachable Fri/Sat/Sun (doesn't mean I won't put in a long week on rare occasions, but think "once a year or less" sort of frequency). The work/life balance is far better, and it aligns better with my family (the local public school is only Mon-Thu as well).

Just ask about it. I know some people who've managed full pay for 80% hours, but generally "80% pay for 80% hours" is entirely reasonable too, and I've found (as a rather extreme DIY sort) that the extra money isn't missed, because I have more time to do things myself on the weekend. I can practically spend quite a few Fridays a year doing major DIY work, and come out ahead.

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about it. Try it. You won't miss 40s.
Do we really need another slap in the face to "employees that have to move muscles" - if 4 to 20x pay, working from home wasn't enough, now they only work 4 days a week!!

Yes those people read reddit, hackernews and other sources.

I'm using Marmot for my own website on production. Up to this date there were no problems.

If I had any technical issues (i.e. questions, optimizations etc) I always asked the developer maxpert and he gave me in-depth answers that helped me personally a lot.

In my case I have much love for Marmot and hopefully it grows and helps a bigger community
Certainly in many cases.
I don't think anyone is arguing black overrepresentation in crime. Rather is arrests to shooting ratio a good measure of racial bias. As Fryer himself notes, shootings are very different than almost anything else police do -- its a life changing event. In his own research he notes that excessive force does show racial bias, but it's not viewed as a life changing event for the cop.

In fairness to Fryer (and yourself), we may not have the tools to determine this definitively either way today. And really my more important point is that as a society we should approach with caution statistical claims where we don't have a good understanding of the methods and the pros/cons of the methods. After becoming familiar with Fryer's methods in this study I'm probably leaning toward his conclusions being wrong -- but I wouldn't wager large sums of money on my leaning.

I recently moved to another state and failed the driver's license eye exam for the first time in my life. For years I've been annoyed with poor reflectivity on street signs and lane markers, now I know that it really was that my night vision had declined. Two interesting things from this: my optometrist has never commented on my night vision being impaired beyond asking if I'm bothered by approaching headlights causing glare and the last time my vision was checked by a state government was sometime in the mid 1990s. I don't have reason to drive at night all that often and usually wear my glasses at night anyway but I wonder how long my vision has been impaired enough that I should have been legally required to wear glasses, at least at night. Wonder how many other people have similar night vision that has slowly declined over time without them noticing nor their state knowing about it.

Once when buying a house, I had to go through a lengthy paperwork process with someone who worked a three-day week, and it was an infuriating experience.

They wanted a great deal of documentation sent by post, and their three day work-week meant they'd ask me on Tuesday for some piece of documentation, I'd mail it the same day, and by the time it arrived they'd left for the week so I couldn't expect a reply until the next Tuesday at the absolute earliest.

I sure hope any move towards shorter work weeks doesn't turn into an excuse for lengthy bureaucratic processes to become even lengthier.

At some point you may be a "Content Management System" thats producing static output.

I figure the difference might lie in "how much of a user's request is filled with pre-generated data vs new," but a heavily optimized CMS might be filling most requests of of premade cache.

I've got a system that's generating mostly html but have a couple pages where its generating Server Side Include pages. When that stuff gets fancier its going to be very hard to fit into this kind of taxonomy.
I'm not even in the anti-WFH camp, but notice you've selectively omitted the most sympathetic camp (what is this argument tactic called? Strawmanning?). People who think teams will be more agile and innovative when they can have impromptu face-to-face conversations. I personally think that's true, but not a big enough deal to make me favor RTO. But it's not good to summarize an issue in such a way that the other side sounds like greedy bastards and yours sounds eminently reasonable.
Update – Free Platform for Stock Analysis
First of all,

Thank you guys for the support, feature request and the bunch of bugs report that I received to make the website better.

Lots of you guys mentioned they don't like the concept of sign-up to the website when the information should be free.

I removed all barriers and you can now enjoy the website without signing up whatsoever.

The only reason to sign-up is to add stocks in your watchlist, participate in the portfolio tournament, share your memes, write a comment.

If there is anything else how to improve the website I would highly appreciate it :)
I'll say it again and again - Pitbulls are black coded dogs and thus are treated like the black people of the dog world.

Yes and the right thing to do given additional time to improve UX is that webgl windows should require focus before capturing the scroll events.

Click on the embed, focus border appears, now scrolling with the mouse within the window scales the rendering. Scrolling outside or clicking away from the embed returns the scrolling behavior to normal. This is one of those things that breaks the simple model of "lazy composability."
Note that proportionately few of our federal judges have spent any time as public defenders, and a disproportionately high number have served as prosecutors. Jackson is the first supreme court justice to have served as a public defender, whereas 3 other justices have been prosecutors.

Prosecutors are incentivized to get convictions, and that slanted thinking could easily be carried on to the bench.
