>No-one said that integration tests can't also be very valuable.

Integration tests are a better kind of default test because they bring value under pretty much all circumstances.

Nobody said that unit tests cant also be valuable and under just the right circumstances i.e. - complex stateless code behind a stable API.

Unit tests shine in that environment - theyre not impeded by their crippling lack of realism because that stable abstraction walls off the rest of reality. And theyre very fast.

Most code isnt parsers, calculation engines, complex string manipulation, etc. - but when it is unit tests really do kick ass.

They just suck so badly at testing code that doesnt fit that mold. Which, to be fair, is most code. I dont write a lot of parsers at work. My job involes moving data into databases, calling APIs, linking up message queues, etc.
Absolutely. If all these galaxies are not just a wallpaper on the walls of humanity's bedroom, there must be life, at least microbial -- especially so given that water and organic compounds seem to be abundant in space.
Could you do this in Python (using positive integers as an example of a type rather than even numbers)?:

class N(int):
def __init__(self, z: int):
assert z > 0
super().__init__(z)

def log2(n: N) -> float:
…

log2(N(32)) # 5.0
log2(32) # type error
log2(N(-32)) # runtime error

You are still relying on the runtime to detect errors and it’s annoying to have to cast all ints to Ns, but you at least won’t ever take the log of a negative number.
> This looks 3D but it’s not! It is SNES tech and is called “Mode 7“. To render it, Nintendo manipulated textures (trading height for depth) with some coder magic.

Mode 7 essentially is a primitive 3D accelerator, it renders a single textured plane with various transforms. I think in principle it's just as "real 3D" as a modern GPU, it's just very very limited and less accurate.
There is for whichever company wants to make use of it - say for example LLM-powered NPCs in singleplayer video games (which I'm working on) - pretty much economically unviable with the current model if you want to run everything on the cloud.

You're selling a game once rather than selling a subscription, so you're locked in to paying for cloud-based LLM services indefinitely, unless you want to shut the game down after X years, which really annoys people. Also, you're incentivised to be stingy with the LLM-based features because the more you use it the more it costs you, but by running it locally you can offload that cost to the consumer.
>It's clear that iMessage is a feature specifically tailored for Apple-to-Apple device communication, and it remains that Apple continue to see it as such. The size of Apple as a company, in this context, seems less pertinent.

It's important here because iPhones are the dominant device by market share in the US. Their share is something like 57%.

>I believe that you're alluding to the Microsoft and Internet Explorer case in 2001

I'm talking about the strategy of tying in general. The tying Apple is doing with iMessage is not the same as Microsoft III.

>In contrast, Apple does not appear to be exerting similar market force in the instant messaging sector. They haven't restricted alternative messaging platforms.

Again, iMessage is the tying product, iPhones are the tied product. Apple is using iMessage to maintain its dominance in the smartphone market. They are restricting the smartphone market by coercing consumers with the threat of hindering communication (i.e. making the experience worse for both parties) within their social network by cutting off access to iMessage. In other words, if I switch back to Android, I lose access to the group chats (through exclusion) and can no longer share or receive media in high resolution. I am then forced into trying to convince a large social network (some of whom I am only acquainted with) to use some other messaging platform.

>For instance, in the US, there are approximately 135 million iPhone users and about 187 million Facebook Messenger users. This, along with the 40 million WhatsApp users, suggests that Meta might be more dominant in instant messaging to the point of having a Monopoly.

Just one point, because I've already addressed this, but "you can use Messenger/WhatsApp/etc" is the equivalent of "a gay man can get married here, he just needs to marry a woman!" Getting significantly everyone in an iMessage-dominant social network to switch to a cross-platform messaging application is very difficult, if not impossible, which is why this is an issue at all.

>Your argument hinges on the assumption that iMessage is a dominant tying service.

No, my argument relies on the fact that iPhones are a dominant tied good through which one is coerced into buying to be able to access iMessage the tying good. No assumptions are needed, the market data reflect this. This isn't about iMessage dominance, this is about iPhone dominance.
They measure a series of points to get a bed mesh, the same as other leveling sensors do. You shouldn't need to live-adjust z, because you've measured the bed surface with the nozzle tip.

With a BLTouch, you need to adjust the z-offset, because the nozzle tip and the BLTouch trigger height are not the same. Once that is calibrated, it should continue to work fine as long as the sensor is working properly.

I think it mainly comes down to the accuracy of the sensor. If your sensor gives you a +-0.03mm reading when probing the same spot, then you will have high and low spots in your bed mesh that you can't correct with z-offset.

This could explain your issues with the BLTouch you mentioned in another thread here. I have various brands of knockoff BLTouch sensors, and the worst one had a +-0.02mm range when measuring points, which made it impossible to get a good bed mesh. The one I replaced it with had about a +-0.005mm accuracy, which fixed my issues with the low and high spots.
It's harder to characterize. It could be just a burst of acceleration during an overtaking maneuver, but if this is done while obscured from someone who is about to cross the street, and has judged their safety to do so by the bigger, heavier, slower vehicle in front, then you have a risk of collision. Overtaking is a normal driving maneuver, and limited in duration. Reckless driving, which may be in an exhibitionary manner, is very different in nature and easier to categorise.
My framing here is literally based on the transcript of the conversation between the pilot and ATC.

Its pilots were following a mandatory company safety policy.

This is not true, because if it was true the pilot would already have diverted to Oakland per "mandatory" company "safety" policy when he was first told that they would not be able to accommodate his non-standard request to disrupt the twenty plus planes that were already in the queue.

It's not the ATC's fault the pilot didn't manage his plane's schedule properly.

You mean in response to pressure changes during print? I’m not sure but that would be nice!

I do have two BLTouch printers and lots of Prusas with the PINDA inductive sensor. What excites me about direct nozzle force sensing is that it eliminates the need to calibrate z height offset between the sensor and the nozzle. I don’t know if Bambu’s bed sensor is as good as Prusa’s nozzle sensor but anything that eliminates the mechanical stack up between nozzle and sensor is an improvement IMO.

Though I do realize much of my gripes come from the fact that the PINDA mount on the Prusa Mk3s is kinda weak and I’ve had several fail, requiring an annoying service job.

> There are no teacher shortages at good schools, getting one of those jobs is extremely competitive. Shitty schools constantly lose teachers and need new ones.

This is not supported by any evidence, unless you assume that all rural schools, for instance, are "shitty schools". But hey, let me throw yet another link you'll not look at while repeating things that are patently untrue:

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/25/texas-teacher-shorta...

I've no idea why you're talking about funding, as if that has anything to do with anything I've said, but article after article suggests the absurdly low teacher pay is a major issue - talking about ephemeral 'funding' in that context is dishonest.

But sure, you "know" teachers. You're not answering the questions because... you don't want to back up my preconceptions that are based on direct experience, er, I mean, "preconceptions"? Um, ok.

> but I'm not here to back up your preconceptions.

The most cogent argument I have seen relating to this was a comment on reddit: the SCOTUS have previously been very strong for "state supreme courts have jurisdictional authority for conduct of elections in that state" -A line of reasoning they will have to reverse with "no: not that" if they want to overrule.

On the whole, I think excluding candidates is undeniably political. And, given that the state in question's supreme court is dominated by democratic appointees this will be seen by many as bias. But, if you had to have an overarching case for exclusion, I think seeking to undermine the institution you are standing for would be one. The flip side being if you stood as a radical socialist, or even possibly a Debsian socialist, at least some of your goals would be radical change in the nature of the federal system of government, which some might view as insurrectionist by their intent, if not their carriage. Perhaps violent overthrow has to be in the mix, rather than just a revolution?

From the article linked above:

>Education ministries the world over will envy the handful of rich places that have a cheery story to tell amid the gloom. In Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan, test scores not only held steady over the pandemic period, they actually ticked up in at least one of the three subjects in which pupils sat exams. Israel and Switzerland are among other countries that appear, at least as judged from these data, to have done reasonably well.

>Some of these outliers protected learning by keeping school closures short. Across the OECD’s dataset there is a modest association between the length of time schools stayed closed and children’s subsequent performance in tests. Teachers in Switzerland ran fully remote or hybrid timetables for only six weeks (the average among countries in Europe was around 29). Closures in Japan were also comparatively zippy: in 2020 schools in that country shortened their summer breaks in order to claw back some of the class hours that children had lost up to then. Singapore, likewise, decided to alter school holidays to maximise learning time.
You realize a moderator has to make a judgment on whether or not they're breaking the rules though, right? That's a human decision.

> but it seems like in this case the estimate was found to be four minutes off

No, I don't think you are being at all accurate about characterizing that; maybe you lost count of the delays. After being told to wait ten more minutes, the pilots waited an extra four minutes before pressing for an update, and got told to wait another 10-15 (or f off).
I made a similar change just this year. Dialed back my Reddit usage to a few select subs, quit Instagram, tuned my YouTube recommendations to focus more on my hobbies, and get my news / commentary from NYT + podcasts.

Looking back, the mind shift was gradual but quite profound. It feels like I've reclaimed control over what I deem important, and my opinions actually feel like my own rather than being swayed by algorithmic feeds and comments.

The issue with leaks like these is that for wealthy/powerful/notable people (ie targets of blackmail/extortion/threats/surveillance) their non-public residential addresses are now available, making the job much much easier for criminals who work offline.

This is why my ISP account at the house where I sleep (as well as all other utilities and services for the address) is not in my name, and does not have my phone number or email address on it.

You’re just one data leak away from people from the internet being able to show up at your house in the middle of the night with guns (or outsourcing same to the police with a swatting).

I spend a lot of time and money protecting against this type of attack. It’s annoying. There should be real, actual, criminal liability for putting people at risk like this.

Maybe if someone publishes the excerpts from these with everyone with the same residential zip code and last name as all sitting US senators, something will happen. Then again, when weev did that (with just email addresses), instead of going after AT&T who leaked the PII through simple negligence, they prosecuted the guy who downloaded it and alerted the press.

It’s almost as if everyone not wealthy enough to have staff/managers/shell companies is just expected to not have any privacy.

It says at the top that prompts are processed with a batch size of 512, while new tokens can only be generated one at a time with batch size of 1.

Prompt processing doesn't actually need to compute logits for each new token, just cache the KV values and so is much faster than actual inference.

I think in 3-5 years we will have way more competition in the GPU space and maybe even affordable ASICs on the market. Alternatively we may see CPUs gain AI oriented vector acceleration. Either way I expect it to be cheaper in the near future to run large models locally.

That being said your less technical users will probably still use them remotely, and the very largest models will also probably be hosted just because of the capital cost. It doesn’t make sense to spring for a super high end rig to run a massive model locally unless you are using it very very heavily or are a serious homelab enthusiast willing to shell out some bucks.

Of course there are wildcards here like breakthroughs in model efficiency, compression, or distributed execution and training. Any of that could change the game. I get the sense that we really don’t know how far we are from optimal efficiency right now. There may be far more efficient architectures or ways of compressing these things.
SYCL is a terrible option. The performance of any application on SYCL is currently quite poor. Why drop ROCm (used on the world's largest supercomputer?) for an even more unproven product that AMD has no control over the roadmap?

> Banding together with Intel to support SYCL would in my opinion

Except that Intel has more control over SYCL and has repeatedly hurt AMD products with anticompetitive behavior in the past. Why would AMD permit their software to be controlled be a competitor?

AMD is executing with ROCm NOW, with multiple Top500 supercomputer wins and deployment in major cloud vendors with MI300X. Yes, the software needs to improve, but the practice of throwing out software to start over is not a good strategy.

AMD has far more momentum in the data center than INTC at present.

> The claim from the article is not about their beliefs, it is about their activity.

No, the claim is about a property of a programming language. The activity is cited as evidence in support of the claim of the fitness of C++ as a general-purpose programming language.

The problem with C++ is that it is a legacy language, and so the fact that a zillion people use it today might be because it's a good language, but it might also be because it has so much institutional inertia behind it that this is enough to override the fact that it's a totally shit language. The Catholic Church has been around for 2000 years, but that doesn't necessarily mean that its factual claims have any merit. The Church's success might be because it is in communion with the truth, or it might be because it has so much institutional and societal inertia that it keeps chugging right along despite having no actual merit. The success of the Church might also be due to people subscribing to the logical fallacy that because a lot of people subscribe to it that it must have some merit, which after a while becomes a self-sustaining cycle. (Note that a self-sustaining cycle is different from a self-fulfilling prophecy because the latter actually becomes true if enough people subscribe to it.)
