> Wishing you were the one making six fixture for 2 - 6 hour days?

I am one of these people. While I do earn a stupid amount of money in the financial sector, the reality for me isn't really that enviable. I do about 3 hours of honest work per day, but the other hours of the day aren't spent with my feet up on the beach. They're spent waiting. They're spent negotiating with pointy-haired managers to unblock me, or arguing with peabrained bodyshop engineers about the utility of totally uncontroversial concepts like unit-testing. They're spent jiggling the mouse every few minutes so that my status doesn't go yellow on Microsoft Teams. If I got to take my '3 honest hours of work' in a single block, and then log off, I'd be content. Except that the few honest hours of work the bank wrings out of me are spaced out over 9 agonising hours a day, interspersed with pointless corporate garbage like "Agile"(tm) cargo-cult meetings.

I pay my mortgage, but I hate my career.
I don't think we disagree that the long-term goal is to _eventually_ make it faster :) I rather meant to temper the enthusiasm that some could have upon seeing "JIT" and immediately trying to compare with, say, PyPy.

> enable JIT codegen without sacrificing too much performance

This is the part I don't buy. The main point of a JIT is performance, so by definition I don't see it being enabled unless it improves performance across the board.

What I wonder is if the current approach, stated as "copy-and-patch auto-generated code for each opcode", can ever reach that point without being replaced by a completely different design along the way. AFAIK, as is, the main difference between running the interpreter loop composed of normally compiled opcodes and JIT copy-and-patching these opcodes is lack of the opcode dispatch logic running between each op - which is good, but also countered by slightly worse quality of the copied code.
Back when I had billable hours, I'd measure how long I actually work (building small websites), and 6 hours was unusually long.

Now I write and edit text for a living, alone, at home and without interruptions. I usually work from 10 to 16 with plenty of breaks.

8 real hours all day, every day is a pipe dream in creative professions.

Here’s a discussion on the subject of the benefits of NFTs and the broader concept of tokenisation as it applies to supply chains and finance.

https://youtu.be/kNgTR5lii4M?t=25m33s

This is just one clip but the point is, referring back to the OP, the idea that NFTs have failed, that they are useless, that it’s just a load of bullshit is just another way of saying you have a very narrow understanding of tokenisation in the main.
You still have the unresolved problem that wind and solar do not produce on-demand.

Any other market would have dropped a production machine already that does not produce on-demand.

It's like having a worker that only works when they feel working and be it 3 AM in the morning. No company boss would accept such a behavior in the long term.

For wind and solar, it's just widely accepted and rather than accepting that you can't build an electricity grid on top of unreliable generation, people try to come up with all kind of weird solutions to force a solution based on solar and wind.
https://github.com/npiv/chatblade

Basically GPT on the command line. I had my own, but chatblade is just prettier. I thought with the ChatGPT subscriptions I wouldn't have to use it anymore, but there's just a lot of raw searches that the API does much better than the chat. Recent example is how to access new fonts from mac's Pages app, both Google and ChatGPT gave incorrect answers on top.
It’s quite a practical one where I come from, you can choose civil service instead of military service, where you’ll function as an underpaid slave to an organization that lacks incentive to develop your skills, pay a fair wage and focus on things that are relevant, it will rather do whatever keeps the inflow of almost free labor going.

This is all because someone thought it’s good to have young people give something back to society, whatever that means.
Can’t tell if this comment is sarcastic or not, genuinely.
Joins are fundamental to where joins are a logical operation. But given the specific example of trying to pack unrelated datasets into one relation, to unpack them again on the client, to save on overhead costs is not at all what joins are designed for.

What you are talking about is commonly known as the n+1 problem. It is a problem because the mathematically pure solution does not usually work in the real world due to real world overhead constraints. If computers operated in an idealized world the n+1 problem wouldn't exist, but we live in a harsh reality where not everything works out so perfectly. If joins were meant to be used this way, obviously it wouldn't be a problem in the first place... But it is a problem because that is not what joins are designed for, even if they can help deal with the problem in some cases.

Obviously you can use things beyond what they are designed for, but in this case it only works in the small scale. Give us a complicated example and watch the nightmare unfold. Again, SQL is designed for working with the relational model. The example GraphQL schema is not relational. It describes a graph model. There is, as they say, an impedance mismatch. The closest approximation to a graph in the relational model is multiple relations, and multiple relations in SQL requires multiple queries. In SQL, one query always returns just one relation.
Seeing as we're talking about games, low power hardware isn't necessarily relevant.

I understand where this is coming from. I had a short 4 year stint in a mid-size tech company, and led a small 16 person team. We managed to build and scale a fairly successful product, to the surprise of the much larger and well resourced teams.

Unfortunately, success attracts attention from management, and we found ourselves mired in further layers of bureaucracy. Those who had not really owned products or shipped anything significant began to call the shots.
Then why on earth did they do this? If this is really unambiguously and completely illegal they are just going to get eviscerated and bled dry. And they would have known that. They aren't dumb.
> Oberon+ already has generics and they should play well

What I meant was, channel types is something you get for free if they are implemented in terms of generics, without having to resort to custom syntax. Example, in Crystal: `channel = Channel(Int32).new`, which would then only accept and produce Int32.

> You mean something like join?

I meant an obligatory join, that no fibers or threads can be created without knowing where in the code it will have ended.

> This can easily be done

The problem is that this is both repetitive and very easy to get wrong. Hence the need for wait groups and/or nurseries.
Sometimes defining what something isn't, helps us to understand what something actually is.

My thoughts exactly. More than four hours of focused work seems rare or limited to some very focused individuals. They still seem to cling to the old idea that people have to work eight hours. They also seem to not be aware of the fact that this applies most of the population of knowledge workers in complex tasks everywhere, not only in the oh-so-flashy top of the crop Meta and Google. Most people I talked to learned early on that four hours is a good time, and the rest is about knowingly or unknowingly pretending to be busy, talking to coworkers, reading and such.
If you like the classics, there were two guys named Karl Marx and Adam Smith who wrote books on how England became (relatively) wealthy, and neither of them thought it was colonialism.

In the modern age you can see nobody thinks it's a good idea because nobody does it.

Only billionaires could afford the cheap smartphone you have in your pocket if it wasn't manufactured at scale.
Actually, it is abundance and seemingly waste that produces a lot of innovation.

Bell Labs was funded by AT&Ts telephone monopoly and was able to pay a bunch of really smart people to do projects that they found interesting.

This resulted in innovations like the transistor, C, C++, and Unix among others.

In some ways the push for productivity can actually kill innovation, since innovation requires times to think and the risk that all the effort may end up being wasted if it doesn't work out.
> Consider this an unsolicited reminder to touch grass.

Do you find yourself personally attacked by someone doing something that you don’t enjoy?
Or is the notion of them having fun AND improving their direct skill?
In recent years it's probably more accurate to state that some people that crowd source funds for the rockets they enjoy building say that they are flat earthers.

That says more about the marketing power of controversy than it does about actual core beliefs of backyard engineers.
You know, it’s pretty trivial to automate that mouse jiggle…
I don't think you can argue that you personally don't care about ruby.

You wouldn't spend so much of your time reading and writing about ruby if you didn't care about it. You'd move to things you do care about.

Ruby, and scripting languages in general, are fast enough for the jobs they get used for. When they're not they get replaced.

I agree. How about "eventually open source"?

If this is true then programmers must sometimes have writer's block, which is something I've never heard of.
> Are you honestly trying to say humans living in a primitive society would be comparable to most other animals (not even "intelligent" ones such as chimps)?

No, I'm not trying to say that. I'm trying to express my belief that the gap between the intelligence of humans and other animals is much smaller. Looking closely at chimp communities or dolphins shows that they also have complex communication patterns. Even trees in a forest communicate. So this is also an expression modesty because humans don't understand yet too much about communication of other creatures.
Yeah I think I found roughly 4 hours as the average over the course of a month, ranging from zero to about 10.

Have you actually used steam lately? They did something to it on Mac that made it reset to the store page every time it loses focus and gains it back. Including when you try to read the code in your mail to be able to login, or when entering 3d secure codes for a purchase.

Basically you can't use it without another device to check your mail/texts.

It's been going on for at least 2 months.
This is pretty common i think.

20 years ago when i was at school phones had to be turned off at the gate and not turned back on until you left, a 3310's text message ringtone meant someone was getting suspended. Some small exceptions were made... If you stayed late for sports practise you could turn them on outside the locker rooms to call for a lift ect...

From what i understand from my nieces / nephews the rule is still in place at the same school.
You’re just straight out incorrect. The HUD doesn’t obscure vision, and if adjusted correctly for position allows you to keep your eyes closer to the horizon while maintaining awareness of important information.

Yes, this is the case in most European jurisdictions. UK mandates inspections once per year (starting 3 years after manufacture). There also appears to be a 2014 EU directive (2014/45) that mandates periodic inspections of most cars across EU states at least every 2 years (starting at most 4 years after manufacture).
I mean, they have isolated tribes that have seen limited outside contact even today. In the absence of outside contact, their culture is not as bland as in your example. Perhaps the formation of culture, religious beliefs, and higher levels of thought is one of the aspects that do make humans special.

As to the IQ tests, they can't ethically run them on uncontacted people. There have been many studies on indigenous people's that include a focus on intelligence. However, a major factor that usually comes up is that the format of standard IQ tests tend to be biased against indigenous people due to things like language issues.

I know. Some people have bought "Mouse Jigglers", and so on to do this. I cringe when I see people buy weird USB devices on eBay for this purpose. Who knows what lurks in the firmware of those things. Some people even buy little hardware turntables that physically jiggle the mouse every so often. On an SOE laptop with all kinds of corporate spyware, you'd have to be pretty game to install a driver to automate the task.

Dont picture schools in Romania or anywhere else in CEE as backwards places where gopniks teach about loving mother Russia. That's far from it. CEE education system is not bad especially when it comes to hard sciences. Investment in education in CEE basically means renovating buildings, buying more modern equipment, paying teachers well and establishing more international cooperation.

When it comes to internet it's kinda the result of deregulation compared to Germany and it's relatively simple business that brings monthly recurring revenue.

It's not all that bad in Romania and all great in Germany but then again you can't really compare them. As I said a lot of wealth in Germany is built on the foundations in the old industries where German companies (and the people) hold the added value. It's impossible for Romanian companies to capture this value in construction, banking, pharmacy, insurance, consumer goods.

>The channel names are unique per server.

But there is not a limit for how many channels can exist for a single domain.

>After the channel names are registered they are unavailable for other attackers to register

Yes, but an attacker can use a different channel name for the same domain.

>So having a few servers (or even many) wouldn't allow a malicious third-party to compromise a name.

An attacker could associate their own key with that domain any number of times across any number of servers.

Its more dishonest to say that the world has the capacity or the ability today to build and run 10000s of nuclear reactors safely or dispose of the spent nuclear fuel. We would be producing 100000-200000Mton of nuclear waste a year at today electricity usage levels.

My perspective is that Bambulab can be a shady company and I have seen behaviors that's concerning such as using bots and uploading designers' prints without permission as well as patents.

Prusa is a standard bearer of the open source 3D printing community and has done a lot of things right and has a lot of goodwill. But they required a competitor to shake things up. Prusa appeared to not be very good at incorporating community contributions, but I haven't really investigated that in-depth, so I may be wrong. In any case, I hope Prusa step up their game in competing and do not fail. They are an example of an open hardware company that shows that Free and open source and commercial activities are not inherently incompatible.

Nonetheless, I bought Bambu Lab's X1C and AMS combo for my business, because I can't really afford to wait on Prusa to deliver their MK4 MMU3 kit. I still purchased two MMU3 kits from them. The irony is that the Bambu Lab printer failed to work out of the box and hadn't worked out a solution thus far, but that's just my individual experience and partly my personal failing.

In the future, I hope my business becomes successful so that I can fund true free software and open source projects so that more of what I used for my business are open source. I don't really want to use a Bambu Lab product any more than I have to. I'll readily jump on open hardware solutions that meet my business requirements.

Bambu Lab may deliver a better product, but at what cost? Always be mindful that these companies are not our friends, especially business that are more transactional. They don't necessary care about the ecosystem at large. If they can get a monopoly, they will.

If you're an open hardware company, be hungry. Don't rest on your laurel. The open source community can only take you so far if you have an inferior product. Not everybody cares about you being open source.

Now, you will hopefully have a lot of community goodwill from being open source. They're your biggest fans and often your biggest customer. If you are open source without being an open source company, you're not really taking advantage of the resources available.

We should fight hard against patents and anything that might threaten democratic 3D printing and manufacturing. Support companies that support the OSS spirit embodied by RepRap. Tell people why this is important.

Let us not forget that the 3D printing business and hobby got started by the expiration of patents and the work of RepRap, the original gangster 3D printer.
The legacy of that empire (it was purely Austria only after 1809) and of Prussia was quite long-lasting though. Because of the medieval Ostsiedlung and rulers granting land and privileges, there once were German-speaking enclaves all over Eastern Europe. A few still exist. Only ethnic cleansing after WWII and Germany enabling them to move away by granting citizenship to them made them disappear.

Some legacy still remains: for economic reasons, German is one of the most frequently learned languages in Eastern Europe.
Well not the least because you need these alternative sources when the wind doesn't blow or at night. For all the noise about including externalities in the cost of oil, the quoted cost of solar and wind almost never includes the infrastructure you would have to build and maintain to deal with the intermittent nature of the source.

Worse than that, grid scale storage capacity isn't even being built in the countries deploying wind at scale. It looks like a strategy for a country like the UK if the intention is to keep relying on carbon (LNG) in the long term. But if the intention is to switch off carbon, there is a massive cost in the pipeline to deal with intermittency.
Their use of words is quite misleading.

Code generation as a process of generating code is orders of magnitude faster, but not the generated code, result of code generation.
Isn't that the same idea as charging more at certain times of the day? We can bake grid fees into those peak hours.

Then if there is equal usage between all consumers like you say, then everyone would get charged equally for the grid . Functionally the same as a fixed price.
Thanks for that, I wonder how many switches out there have it enabled inadvertently, because of a mistake by the manufacturer?

By the way, Some of the Broadcom chips have an integrated 8051, with on-chip ROM firmware. There are leaked datasheets floating around somewhere as well. If someone has the time to dump the on-chip ROM, it would be interesting to see what's in there.
Note, some of the pins marked NC in the datasheet are in fact the 8051 UART TX/RX lines.
In this day and age, people aren't still starving because the animals and plants don't give up their nutrients easily enough, but because humans trample and prey on humans at worst, or neglect their suffering at best.
