I had heard of ENS but yesterday I discovered that SNS is more affordable so I tried it out. now you can type gushinggranny.sol into Brave browser and it redirects to my peertube instance. SNS has A records too but I have not tried it yet. I am grateful to see that Brave browser is so forward thinking to support a decentralized DNS right out of the box and I am grateful to have found a usecase for NFTs that isn't completely stupid.
I don't have hard scientific evidence, but memory absolutely plays a role as far as I can tell. Even for simple deductions we rely constantly on toy examples or similar scenarios to that we're currently thinking, which can then guide our thinking further.

For example (inspired by my kid's struggles to learn multiplication), if you're calculating 7x6, it helps to remember that 6x6 = 36, and then just add another 6. Much easier than calculating 6+6+...+6.
We can't even have a consensus on what "unit" tests really are... Every company i work for has a different meaning for it. Some places consider a test "unit" when all the dependencies are mocked, some places consider a whole feature a "unit".
Real or not?

Anyone else get frustrated with the accepted practice in astronomy to (a) alter colors and (b) show the non-visible light spectrum.

Because it results in radically different images from what we can see with our human eye and its hugely misleading to the general public.

NASA has a whole article on this subject; it’s a great read.

Mixtral is on-par with Gemini Pro, not Gemini Ultra (and even there it is further behind Gemini Pro than Gemini Pro is behind GPT 3.5). But to directly answer your question, they are quite well-funded, having raised over $700mil to date. I definitely wouldn't count them out.
Buttons are great. But also critical is software. On my old prius there was one knob for temperature, and you push it sideways to change temp, intensity, mode, etc, and that sucks during driving.

I am very happy my Mazda has dedicated single-function physical buttons, and it'll automatically switch to the mode you're thinking of when you press a button.

The tablet control via physical button is amazing compared to touch screen, takes a minute to get used to, but far far far far far far far less distracting when driving than a touchscreen.
The type of music is very important on whether it works in this manner as well as individual personality types. I personally find anything with lyrics no different than listening to the chatter of the space you're trying to avoid.

This is, in my experience, incorrect.

Driving a recent Model S.

Selecting the temperature can be done on the wheel, or with a single press on the screen in a predictable spot.

Same with media: play, stop, volume, next, previous.

Other adjustments, yes, those may need a modal interaction. Much like physical dials. I would slightly prefer physical dials, but not something I would need to adjust during drives almost ever, so I don’t see a problem here.
It's much more accurate than the Open LLM Leaderboard, that's for sure. Human evaluation has always been the gold standard. I just wish we could filter by the votes which were made after only one or two prompts and I hope they don't include the non-blind votes in the results.
> I wish that Patreon had a support format where I could pay, say, $20 a month to Patreon and have that spread between whoever I'm supporting in a way that's cost efficient on payment fees and stuff like that.

This is (effectively) how "user centric" revenue models that have been proposed in music would work. Your monthly subscription would be assigned to creators that you listen to. The challenge in music is that it doesn't necessarily benefit smaller musicians much because people still listen to the big hits from big artists and major labels.

In a platform like Patreon it could work quite well, because it's more of a walled garden. Pick a few creators, and then divvy up the revenue based on how much you engage with their content.

For sure, competing on costs is GlobalFoundries' entire business model at this point, and it seems to be working well for them. I'm not sure Intel is able to make that transition though, they'd have no choice but to manufacture their CPUs elsewhere to stay competitive. They might as well sell off their foundry business at that point.
Some things sell really well when new even though once people had the car makers know it was a bad idea. So you see a lot of things put on cars for a while and then when people realize it isn't as good as it looks they get rid of it. Things that people like get put everywhere.
> I'm tech savvy but I take physical buttons over touchscreen all the times.

Are you sure? I am all in favor of physical buttons where you need quick access, for example steering wheel and climate control. But touch screens are quite awesome to simplify access to more complicated settings. I hate it when you have four buttons to navigate through nested menus.
It's a USB port. Differently than the dozens of proprietary charging connectors that were ubiquitous before micro-USB and USB-C dominated, consumers have an expectation that it adheres to the specification.

To be on the safe side, one would actually have to check the voltage. Both the output voltage and whether these are really 0V and 5V to ground. The output frequency spectrum should also be checked.
Not my problem. And if the terms are so bad, then car makers have a simple solution. Make it easy to swap in a CarPlay compatible third party headunit.
Six questions will dictate the future of generative AI
Do you think low test scores are because of changes in societal conditioning or changes in DNA?
I understand why the default transaction isolation level of most DBMS is weaker than serializable (it's for benchmark purposes), but I'd argue the best default is serializable. Most DBMS users don't even know there are many consistency models [1]. They expect transactions to "just work," i.e. to appear to have occurred in some total order, which is the definition of serializability [2]. And to some who know when to use a weaker isolation level for better performance can always set it per transaction [3].

Cheap, convenient, but also law of similarity. We are so smartphone focused now, practically on the species level, if people see a touchscreen, it's an interface they truly understand, it must be the cause of a perceivable sales bump.
Good story.

I for one do not believe in Unit Tests and try to get LLM tooling to write them for me as much as possible.

Integration Tests however, (which I would argue is what this story is actually praising) are _critical components of professional software. Cypress has been my constant companion and better half these last few years.
How did you make new friends through it, where do you play?
yes, that does seem pretty annoying.

however,

irb(main):001:0> value = false or true
=> true
irb(main):002:0> value
=> false
irb(main):003:0> value = false || true
=> true
irb(main):004:0> value
=> true
irb(main):005:0>

I believe if you use the `||` operator instead of `or`, then things just work out fine. I agree it is really annoying. But I am pretty sure if you use a tool like RuboCop https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop (a static code analysis tool) then it will catch bugs like this. Note that I am not recommending Ruby. But in my experience if I want to work with a language and it has a community style guide and a linter that enforces it, it will save me some heartache.

Just editing to add this reference: https://rubystyle.guide/#and-or-flow
Ghent and Bruges are both wonderful and vastly nicer to visit, IMO, than Brussels.
That is one thing, touch screen only, you can literally blame Tesla and Musk for. I know I do.
In my experience, most developers don't even consider isolation level in the first place and just take whatever the default is. Any race conditions are met with an 'oh that's weird', and then they move on.
This was a classic play where big tech used XMPP to grow their user base, but as users changed left to escape various paper cuts (ads in the UI, lack of utility, etc...), big tech realized they could not force people to stay on their platform. So, big tech does what it does when it has more to lose than gain - it went closed.
Rakuten was the first and only bigger corp I've worked at (my life has been startups and boutique shops) and so I have had a hard time understanding why people don't like open office floorplans. Thank you for making me realize why I enjoyed it and might not, at another org.
Interestingly, even Samsung phone chargers put out 9v, but I think they only do that when connected to a Samsung device. On the plug is says 5v and 9v, and (I'm assuming) they switch to 9v when they detect a device that can use it for fast charging.
I bought a 2011 4runner last year and one thing I really like about it is the lack of a big infotainment touch screen. Lots of physical buttons.
That's amazing! Through my 8in scope Uranus looks like a blue dot — too big to be a star, but paltry even in comparison to Mars.

Admittedly I've been having trouble reliably locating it. Currently it's near the middle of a line between the Pleiades and Jupiter. From where I am there are no naked eye visible stars in the region to help walk the scope in.

At least in my state of the US and I’d venture to guess the rest of the US, a disproportionate amount of that taxpayer money goes to special education and other services.

So while the statistics may break it down to a half million per classroom, that classroom doesn’t actually see that money. It’s chewed up with special education and the bureaucracy.
I feel like I've read too many blogs that were started by an author who wanted to develop writing skills, self-promote, etc. - but didn't seem to have many interesting things to say, and those few things were padded by large quantities of unnecessary text.

I greatly prefer the occasional blogger who focuses on quality over quantity.

> I have yet to see a programming community (around a language) that is as encouraging and nice as the one around Ruby.

Agreed 100%. It's like the opposite of the javascript community where I feel like the leaders of various camps are constantly trying to tear each other down about the best way to do things as they fight for developer mindshare/marketshare. Maybe I just see too much JS drama on twitter. Anyway, the Ruby community is so wholesome and a breadth of fresh air in the modern tech world.

Are you sure it’s 10x smaller? I’d be surprised if OpenAI hasn’t been massively distilling their models.
Based on the graph the fast function runtime is really short. You might be just seeing effects of efficiency vs performance cores. Lower thread count makes most of the stuff run on performance cores and task end times align more nicely. With larger number of threads tasks running on performance cores complete first and you are left waiting for efficiency tasks running on efficiency cores to complete, or context switches have to be done and tasks are moved between cores which causes overhead.

You could try what happens if you have 10 times more images when running fast function.

Also you have just 8 physical performance cores and 4 physical efficiency cores. Performance cores have hyper threading so they act as 2 logical cores but that doesn't mean that they can actually execute 2 threads at maximum performance. If processing tasks use the same parts of the processor core, then processor cannot run both threads at the same time and IPC will suffer. Slow task maybe uses more varied parts of the core which allows better IPC with hyper threading. So that also may reduce optimal thread count.

JWST is an infrared telescope. The human eye does not see infrared.
Thanks for providing your story. I hear about people having all their electronic devices seized for spurious CFAA charges but it doesn’t make the news when the devices are returned more than a decade later – by which time they’d be obsolete even if they hadn’t been broken. I also wasn’t aware of the other damages that are inflicted on the victims such as intimidation with the threat of firearms, having their home wrecked and potential loss of one’s home. Best wishes and thanks for sticking your neck above the parapet for the rest of us.
I think there's something to be said about the benefits of a collaborative environment. Junior Devs may be discouraged to approach senior devs with questions if it feels like they're walled off from one another
I sure do. But at the same time, isn't this a near infrared camera, so outside the visible spectrum?
Your mistake is thinking that the car manufactures are optimizing for UX.

What they're actually optimizing for is looking impressive/high-tech to help sell cars and reducing build costs.
Open plan is good for collaboration/communication heavy types of jobs. In this kind of jobs, disruptions is a way to propagate "just in time" information through the organization. You can still eliminate disruptions in such setting, and it superficially leads to a high "productivity" in terms of LOC produced, but you act on outdated/misleading information (or you deny that information to others), which often leads to working on wrong things in wrong ways.

People often argue this can be fixed by just not needing to communicate. Like all user stories have all necessary information prepared. All the (functional, non-functional) acceptance criteria are defined, all the design documents are perfectly specified etc. But that's a pipe dream, which leads to other kinds of productivity losses.
camaraderie in a team is a job requirement for me. without it i'll be out of there in no time. i simply do not want to work with people who can't be bothered to be nice and helpful to each other.

i do not want to be just a cog in a machine that grinds out work without any consideration for the project as a whole.

it is also needed to allow new team members to get onboarded faster.

as a hiring manager i find your attitude unwelcome.
When I worked in an open office that required headphones for focus, I would put on white noise when music was too distracting.
This article commits the ever present sin of not showing the absolute values in a graph thus presenting an image that is biased in support of its supposition. I will mention, to not completely throw the author under the bus, that I suspect they chose this format because OECD does this themselves! See Page 9.

https://www.oecd.org/pisa/PISA%202022%20Insights%20and%20Int...

So if you just glance at it you can see science scores have dropped by 12 points between 2006 and 2022! That's terrible! Oh wait, but they dropped from 503 to 491... or less than 3%. For math scores the decline is 22 points! But it is from 502 to 480... or less than 5%.

I should also point out that part of the article discussed survey results that showed more screen time was correlated to having lower scores but on Page 13 of the above OECD doc they have a graph showing higher math scores were correlated with school buildings being closed... How were those students learning if not remotely, on screens, all day?

That being said, I think it's hard not to look at the statistic of 45% of students feeling anxious if they don't have their phone on them and not be worried about the mental health of the younger folks among us.

Just for fun, let me try to one-up that: working outside, in a scorching desert, hung upside down, just barely reaching your laptop on the sand, with scorpions crawling over the keyboard.

But thinking about it, even in that situation, I guess I would still prefer not to have to deal with people having unrelated conversations around me.
There is a documented housing supply shortage on a national level.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/08/homes/housing-shortage/index....

Plus, mortgage rates are set at a national level. Your house price went up dramatically in the last two years even though the purchase price didn’t increase because someone new to the neighborhood has to pay a higher monthly payment to buy.

I would argue that the amount of homes that lost value enough to fully compensate the rapid increase in interest rates is going to be extremely low, even in towns and neighborhoods facing rapid decline.

It’s also the case that more metro areas grew than declined: https://www.businessinsider.com/2020-census-fastest-growing-...

In other words, pick any random person in the US and it’s more likely than not that they live somewhere that is growing.
These are the rules of the battle arena:

-Vote won’t be counted if model identity is revealed during conversation.
In reality, unit tests and integration tests are different names for the same thing. All attempts at post facto differentiation fall flat.

For example, the first result on Google states that a unit test calls one function, while an integration test may call a set of functions. But as soon as you have a function that has side effects, then it will be necessary to call other functions to observe the change in state. There is nothing communicated by calling this an integration test rather than a unit test. The intent of the test is identical.
You're moving the goalposts. Your description of the present issue ("What they did here was remove that restriction and loan out an unlimited number of simultaneous copies of a given book") is inaccurate and misleading. That's not what this appeal is about.

How many hours a week do they spend drilling leetcode or being on call. On maintaining their homelab because they need to keep up with the latest fashionable tech nonsense?

If you ask anyone, they'll tell you they're busy because that's the socially acceptable thing to say. If I'm honest, I don't do that much work (I tend to believe that's actually why we create and maintain all of these machines - so we don't have to work very much, but I'm apparently a disagreeable sort), but I still say that I'm keeping busy because if I said that I'm basically lazy and just want to meditate or watch TV most of the day away, people (particularly my employer) might take issue with that.
The ones that don't need a DM are usually classified as board games.

That's how photos are in general. No camera captures exactly what the eye sees.

Is having only a 91% quantum efficiency sensor radically changing things?

What on earth are you talking about. No one is debating true offices are superior but a full height cube is about infinitely better than open office. Cubes are sound insulating, they're quiet, they're more spacious than open office. You have storage and three to three and a half walls. The only physical distraction is caused by people walking past the opening. It's not just possible, but quite likely to eliminate outside movement from your field of view.

I'll admit that plenty of cube farms are really just open offices in lipstick but true cube farms are far superior to open offices.
Sorry for the OT but this is driving me crazy.

How does "dark mode" work in desktop linux?

I'm using i3wm and I haven't been able to find a way to "press a button and every app turns into dark mode". To be clear, all my apps are already configured to take the theme from "system theme", I just haven't been able to find how to change this system theme.
