Of course, it was by consistent 6-12 hour daily chess activities where most of the play was 2+1/3 blitz and 80%+ of the openings used queen very early. I played for fun without any particular goal outside of short term winning.
I relied on my own learning progression and accepted it was inefficient. I'm pretty sure after 1-2 years, others could have achieved much more with the time I put in.

I am not claiming it was the fastest way to progress, that it's a way to progress forever, that it doesn't have any flaws.

Chess has a very big space of patterns that you can learn that have nothing to do with openings and in my experience they count much more early on.

I shared my experience out of curiosity. Are there others who experienced something similar?

From my experience, to progress when learning anything it's enough to be consistent. The brain does its thing during sleep. When a roadblock is reached, you have to be able to identify it and make a plan to improve. Would it be more efficient to have a tested plan or a tutor? In most cases, yes.

Ask the LLM to summarize the question, then take an embedding of that.

I think you can do the same with data you store… summarize it to same number of tokens, then get an embedding for that to save with the original text.

Test! Different combinations of summarizing LLM and embedding generation LLM can get different results. But once you decide, you are locked in the summarizer as much as the embedding generator.

Not sure is this is what the parent meant though.

This is great, I've been looking for exactly that! Often times there are "hidden gems" of knowledge in longer videos, for example how some calculations for a specific problem are done when the rest of the video has a different topic. I found it very hard to look for these hidden gems.

My test example for such a soltion would be: "does it find the chapter about thermal calculations in a video about electronics": https://youtu.be/8xX2SVcItOA?feature=shared&t=758

How do I add a video? I'd love to test your solution with this video.

Thanks for making the source available too! I've been trying to build something similar with jupyter notebooks, but I keep getting stuck at this "hidden gem" problem.

For HNews? Probably https://diff.blog/ would be one of the alternatives. I must say, if reddit goes dark today, I'd be sad, but if hnews goes dark today (and forever), I'd be pretty devastated.

An address not known to be yours, one that is not associated with your name in public records, such as the one where you or your kids regularly sleep.

Everyone knows the address on your DL and vehicle registrations is basically public record, it’s sold to data brokers and is searchable. Same with any property held directly. This is why you have a holding company own the properties, and keep your name off the public records for the holding company.

Utilities might still be in your name, however, as not everyone knows how to obtain those under aliases or remembers to have their staff do it for them. They often want credit checks on a normal person for non-commercial service plans, or for residential addresses.

App location histories, mobile service location histories, Uber trip logs, food delivery order history, all of these are potential vectors for leakage, too.

Well, normally that would be true.

But Wayland decided to "boil the ocean" and entirely replace a stack of stuff that was working perfectly well for most people.

So perhaps the onus should be on the people who decided to do that, to make sure that things keep working instead of just dumping it?

An alternative design would have been to have built Wayland inside X.org and tunnel the new protocol over the existing protocol, and then migrate chunks of functionality one at a time.

Which is exactly how X11 replaced X10, and X10 replaced X9, etc.

But that would have been careful engineering practice, and not nearly as much fun, so I understand why it did not happen.

AV1 is parallelizable at the thread and SIMD level. Other formats too I’m sure but I’ve only looked at AV1.
I actually thought the name was cute/clever considering the ambitions they have. It also conveys an awareness that this is a moonshot product which is also suggests they are grounded in some rationality.
I guess because information of pixels in a video are not independent in either time or space, while parallelization relies on the independence of either temporal or spatial axis.
> What about rocm makes it fundamentally by design that much worse? And what about sycl makes it better?

The fact that SYCL compiles device code to SPIR-V instead of a device specific ISA like HIP for instance. The decision to do the latter, alone, is what causes ROCm to have support for a very narrow range of cards which significantly hampers adoption.

You exclude the only topic in discussion here.

Noone is framing this as an issue of individual employees. It's an issue between two companies, and one of them has a very thin argument to claim that it didn't systematically extract the other one's IP without paying for it.

As mentioned elsewhere: This strategy surely works most of the time, especially on smaller companies unable to survive 10 (!!) years after their IP has been extracted to await justice. But this time it didn't work because the other company is successful in another industry and has patented the technology.
Something else always comes along. People like to talk.
Yeah, look at the input lag in your link. If you enable the frame limit it goes to shit. It's unclear to me if this is Wayland's fault or Valves fault or a mixture of both. The new version doesn't fix the issue, it just reduces latency somewhere else so all the latencies go down.

High-quality text rendering on GPU is surprisingly tricky and inefficient, unless you're using something simple like a glyph cache.
Ok but what I’m really interested in is integration tests that depend on time.

Waiting for a set amount of time (i.e. literally calling to wait(5) in the test code) is slow and, even worse than that, flaky. If the test server is busy it might take it longer than 5 seconds to do what the test needs to happen.

The best approach I have found so far is “pulling for the side effects” (i.e. if the test is awaiting the creation of a flobber object, keep pulling the list of flobber objects until a new one pops up). This is not always possible (the interface for pulling the flobber objects is not always available) and it is also inconsistent with multiple threads/processes(one thread might have the new flobber and tell your test that everything is ok, but the next step in the test you happen to be served by a different thread which doesn’t have the new flobber yet).
At the end of the day, consumers are going to look for the cheapest and fastest product they can get. E-commerce in China, e-commerce in Korea, Amazon Prime did it, eBay didn't do it, and now consumers want to get what they need cheaply and quickly. Personally, I'd rather use good old-fashioned methods than AI for this. It's too expensive to spend LLMs on search, product reasoning, and recommendations right now (and it's slow!).

It's because they make up a minority whose needs have gone uncared for during their entire working life.

Not everyone is like you. Some just want to go to work and finish their own tickets because the company's culture actively disincentivizes collaboration. Some have ADHD and lose their focus to every little movement in the room. Some are introverts who become much more mentally exhausted from such an environment than their extroverted colleagues. Some have a life besides work that sufficiently fulfills their social needs. Some are utterly disinterested in hearing about Bob's ongoing kitchen renovation or Netflix preferences. Some are employed at a place with poor camaraderie. Some have a position that makes the supposed collaborative benefits of open offices a moot point (work in a distributed team? On a single person project?). But always, they have a people-person manager who thinks everyone should work in-office because water cooler conversations are just so creative and open offices are so dynamic and vibrant. The office is dominated by extroverted people who love these ideas, and they tend to be the ones having their voices heard. Meanwhile, the little man or woman who just wants to work in peace resorts to Hacker News or a personal blog.

And you effectively propose that these people should be filtered out because a few have grown tired of it to such a degree that they misdirect their frustration at colleagues or use toxic language.

The west, especially the US, is so obsessed with diversity but only of the superficial skin color kind. Not diversity of the mind. Imagine if someone had grown cynical and tired of the lack of inclusivity for <insert-race-here> and someone suggested the lack of inclusivity is good because the people with bad attitudes would be filtered out.

Have a good day.
How does this language address C's biggest problem, memory safety?
It’s interesting how the various post-communist states in Central/Eastern Europe have played out since the 90s. Having lived here for roughly the last ~8 years, it seems to me that the ones succeeding the most are those which have a nearly universal negative appraisal of the communist era. Poland, for example, is on a pretty great trajectory and will probably be in the top 2-3 EU economies in a decade. The Soviet system was forced upon Poland and very few people look upon that era favorably. The break between eras was also fairly clean and without too much internal conflict.

Compare that to some other states like Bulgaria or Ex-Yugoslavia, which have a more complicated memory of the communist era, and which also had a lot of conflict during the transition period. There is less of a pre-packaged “social imaginary” of what the country could be/used to be prior to the communist era - unlike Poland, which was occupied and spent a couple centuries building an oppositional identity during the Partitions/occupations.

> There are already autonomous solutions for last mile delivery: robots using pedestrian sidewalks.

I have to say, it is a bold choice labeling those as a solution. Given the amount of deliveries done all day neighborhoods would be crawling with robots like this. So for neighborhoods that actually do have sidewalks, pedestrians would be hugely inconvenienced. Then there are neighborhoods that don't have sidewalks where these robots would need to share the road.

There is also the amount of resources needed for each solution. These robots are fairly complex, require batteries, etc. If they take off in a huge way that means a huge amount of future e-waste being created. Batteries need replacing often, these robots will break down, certainly in certain climates, etc.

Of course an underground system needs to be build at some point as well. However, it is much more of a one time upfront investment with lower costs down the road to maintain the system. At the very least you are not creating another environmental strain by having to fabricate a ton of batteries.

An underground system is also more likely to just work in various challenging climates. No overheating electronics in hot climates, no snow and ice related challenges in colder climates.

Delivery robots are cool. But they are, in my opinion, nothing more than a band-aid.
Have a look at this method on Java's Instant class for an example.

1. A bunch of developers decided to replace the windowing system with something more akin to Desqview.

2. People complained that this now broke their previously working remote desktop.

3. They got told that their use case was utterly unimportant compared to the very pressing issue of getting rid of screen tearing.

4. Upon comments that screen tearing is irrelevant if you don't actually have a desktop, they replied that someone could write a remote desktop extension for Wayland.

5. None of them did.

6. All of the people that actually wanted to get work done stopped listening to them and continued using X11.
