> I've never been to a 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, or Gold's Gym that wasn't a sea of equipment hoggers, broken machines, random dirty towels, occupied lockers, and screens with CNN or daytime TV on.

I was a member of Gold’s Gym in Japan for more than a decade and worked out at many different branches, and other than occasional equipment hoggers none of that applied. The gyms were all clean and well maintained. I also used a Gold’s Gym for a while in Southern California, and it was fine, too. When it came time for me to cancel my memberships, there was no hassle whatsoever.

Another mega gym I used a few times in Southern California was pretty awful, though. I still remember the dirt under all of the machines and the caked dried sweat covering the handles of the ellipticals.
I think that's the misleading perspective the grandparent comment is referring to. An if statement in C isn't necessarily a branch. The generated assembly assembly might have no branches if it's eliminated, it might have multiple branches, and the compiler might even include a function call (e.g. fharden-conditional-branches). You can't know just by looking at the source code alone.

I've found that I'm much less accurate when writing code for non-GCC/Clang compilers because my mental model of what's going to be generated isn't accurate enough without the years of experience I've had looking at the outputs of those specific compiler families.
> is “how Git implements it” really the right way to explain it?

Of course not, and nowhere outside of software engineering will you find such widespread confusion between concepts and their implementation.

Do we think of pressing the gas pedal in a car as "accelerate", or as "regulate the intake manifold"?

Commits are one of the most high-level concepts in Git. If an explanation for them resorts to implementation details, it's a bad explanation.
Sweet, I did a CLI version of this idea in 1987 for VMS, was working with people in Sydney, London & Chicago and this made it easy to communicate.
snapshots in time where all the bits should work... many small tested changes with people coordinating to keep out of each-others way.

Or... a dumpster fire as that one guy we all know breaks the build with a backlog of commits on a Friday... 1 hour before the end of the week.

We all meet "that one guy" eventually. =)
Is there any risk with running this locally just to see what SSH traversal is available? I have several legitimate hosts I SSH into regularly, some are cloud hosting.
There are dozens of other endpoints that will do this, and possibly do it better.

I'm all for cool innovations, but... I'm not really seeing the advantage here beyond the shiny website to attract VCs.
Wow, this is really good. I can't believe how good terminal app is now.
Wait until you realize almost four-fifths are dead, immotile or slow moving. Only around 5% are actually viable.

This is pretty cool. Better if includes signed integers.
Ooba is an outlier, and has tons of overhead over llama.cpp and llama-cpp-python for some reason.

Most llama.cpp openai servers are pretty close to vanilla llama.cpp, albeit without the batching support.
Small: Smallest possible syntactically valid files of different types
I was interested to check how various languages compare in complexity to ALGOL 68. As a rough proxy for complexity let's look at the number of pages in their language specifications (excluding glossaries, examples, libraries, etc.):

* ALGOL 68 spec: 209 pages

* C: 418 pages

* C++: 457 pages

* Python: 148 pages (but doesn't include a lot of things in PEPs)

* Rust: doesn't have a specification but does have a 600 page book

* Lisp: 48 pages

* Go: 109 pages

Some of these have more detail than others - the C spec is very detailed and the Go one is clearly intended to be more human readable than detail oriented. Also I've excluded core library specs here and they add a lot to some of these specs, but arguably some are "more core" than others so they're not really comparable.
I also am a bit over my head here but I’d guess the major innovation is around manufacturing glass in a way that optic channels are a natural part of the glass’ characteristics as it’s developed. We’re probably talking fiber optics at a molecular level.
You're constructing a paradox where none exists. The completeness and the incompleteness theorems don't contradict each other, they are about fundamentally different things (and it's really a shame we use the same terminology, because so many people are confused by it).

> there are truths which, though existent within the system, cannot be proven by it

This isn't what the first incompleteness theorem shows - rather, it shows that such "truths" don't exist within the system in the first place (in other words, there are some models in which a certain statement is true and others in which it is false - at least for first-order logic). Otherwise, this would indeed contradict the completeness theorem, but it doesn't.

I don't want to stop you from making your own metaphysical conclusions, but I'm not sure they're actually supported by the theorems themselves.
I absolutely refuse to book any flight with a MAX aircraft.
There are dozens of local openai endpoints already. The best one depends on your hardware and available time.
Having a A4 size book summary along with the book itself is a Great Technique! The chapter/book actionable task(s) idea is also great.

Did you come up with the idea yourself or were inspired from some place else? Any more ideas you can share?
Wow, I just realized that I've been playing around with git and mercurial for nearly 17 years! And people are still confused about git! That's amazing. I still love that it's distributed, fast, and it handles branches and merges better than anything before it. I do wish the UI was better.
Currently, on GitHub but could be anywhere.

Need to balance the freedom to publish anonymously with the risk of people claiming credit for other people’s work.

Perhaps the platform should allow any url to be published and restrict tipping to only authenticated users’ content.
I had a similar thing, very unsophisticated at the time, to randomize quotes that I’d manually curated into a text file.

Most of the my friends when I was a high school kid in the 80s had access to porn, alcohol, weed and were having sex under 18. All not allowed by their/my parents, but no ended up even remotely bad or damaged. It’s just growing up.
I've never been able to find a better office suite. The FOSS alternatives and the google suite just don't do it for me.

Llama.cpp is a lot of C SIMD. I think using C++ elsewhere in the project just made sense in its infancy, when it was CPU only.

Rust is really interesting for stuff besides running the actual llm though. Python can be a huge performance/debugging pain when your frontend and such get huge.
Same, I've had colleagues do the same process to get a foot-in-the-door. It does work based on observation alone.
I know myself and a couple other people who do the same, would be fascinating to see if it's common enough to show up in statistics.

It's not even just the safety, the Boeing Dreamliner for example is shockingly uncomfortable to fly in.
maybe this helps:

"This is a minimal Emacs starter kit. Like, really minimal. Here's the short of the philosophy:

Focus on using default, built-in Emacs behavior

Yes, we all love our fancy third-party packages. This starter kit focuses on what is built-in to Emacs. Why? Because there are too many good packages and picking and choosing the best is a joy we leave to the user.

Explain every customization and encourage modification

The goal of this starter kit is to encourage end-user adaptation and growth. All of the .el files should be legible and, more importantly, justify in plain English the rationale for adding the configuration they do.

No magic

We keep things crushingly simple here. That means no fancy loadable modules or whatnot. Everything is as straight-forward as can be."

There's also historical fiction which can combine both worlds if done well. Robert Harris comes to mind.
I chose a flight using an Airbus 350 over a 787.

I remember reading an article about how some Boeing employees are surprised the 787 planes don’t have more issues because their warnings about quality issues are ignored.

Which indeed every underage kid in the 80s/90s had access to. Later on smut dvd rips were traded in our school. Internet is vastly harder to regulate than that, forget about it.

That's what I'm suggesting - the only way RHEL could block OEL is to also kill off CentOS as we knew it.
This looks great! I’ll test drive it this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
I disagree, for 2 reasons:

- OpenAI APIs expose the extra features (like llama.cpp's grammar) anyway, as extra parameters.

- There's a huge productivity benefit to making your backend swappable, without having to redo all the API calls.

Prompt formatting in particular is a huge sticker with OpenAI endpoints though. Something does need to be done about that.
Do you have transfer restrictions and/or a ROFR in your org docs?
This sounds a lot like something I read not that long ago (it was on acoup, of course[1]) about post-Roman population density, how the carrying capacity of the Roman Empire was high because of the increased efficiency allowed by having a good transportation - classic economic specialization. But once the Empire collapsed, the specializations it enabled couldn't come back, and it took a thousand years or more for former Roman provinces to return to their Imperial population levels.

Have you considered making it a PWA?
AMD's 22-year-old GPUs still getting driver updates thanks to the FOSS community
GDDR isn't as special as you think, and it's special in exactly the opposite way that HBM is special. HBM achieves high bandwidth by using extremely large bus widths running at fairly slow speeds per pin. GDDR achieves high bandwidth by running at very high speeds per pin and using medium to large bus widths.

Desktop CPUs using DDR5 have low memory bandwidth because they have narrow bus widths (128bit total) at low speeds. Server CPUs use the same memory at the same per-pin speeds but with much larger bus widths to achieve total bandwidth comparable to a mid-range GPU but supporting orders of magnitude more memory capacity. Apple's high-end chips likewise uses significantly larger bus widths than desktop CPUs, combined with slightly per-pin speeds (LPDDR rather than DDR) to also reach GPU-like total bandwidth.

I don't think it's accurate to single out any one of the above technologies as being the "normal" DRAM. GDDR, LPDDR, and DDR are all fairly different from each other and all quite mainstream.

I think if it as "regulate the intake manifold" or revving the engine because I feel it makes more sense. I don't really understand the relationship between how much you push the pedal and how much acceleration it produces. I've given up on trying to understand that, so I don't think of it as acceleration.

Some recovery companies will take your money again, loosing money online is very common in our days, I was a victim of investment scam. I contacted several recovery companies online..it was all tragic story. I didn’t tell my wife I invested online but at that point I couldn’t hold it. I told my wife and believe me she was the solution to my problem..Her friend had same problem and have someone who helped her figure it out..At first I thought it was all going to be crap as always, but to my greatest surprise it was a job well done. I wouldn’t have believed if someone told me because of my experience with different recovery companies with series of unfulfilled promises. Now I’m convinced from experience. I recommend: recoverydarek@gmail.com to anyone in need of similar help. They are real and legit.

Ah that was intentional, it disables the sorting on smaller screens. I am working on some UI refinement for smaller screens and will re-enable sorting after that.

I was an enlisted sailor aboard the USS Mount Whitney when it experienced a major fire in the shipyards in Croatia and extended our visit by months[0].

AI for sales outreach (YC backed)
This is a new AI app that automates sales outreach at scale. Given only the person's LinkedIn URL, it generates complete cold email / cold LinkedIn DM messages with hyper-personalization. The best part is that this app can bulk process 10,000s of tasks in one go, and you can simply export all those leads with cold messages already written into your email sending tool.

It's still quite early stage but I'm so amazed by the features and access to premium LinkedIn data. Its AI is like nothing I've seen before, because it can read websites and do google search without your prompt explicitly instructing it to do so.

It's scary that we're this close to AGI.

What do you think of this tool? Will it replace many jobs at your company?

Plastic can be made from hydrogen and carbon. Plastic is a minuscule fraction of our oil consumption. Maybe the oil-free synthesis path becomes economically attractive once we stop burning oil for energy and plastic feedstock is no longer a mostly free byproduct of that.
A lot of countries (like NL, ES, PT, BE,…) have state owned APIs which have a central login (with 2FA) could easily just return yep or nay when asked; is this person over 18. Without violating privacy by the porn site and not anymore violating at least than the gov site already does or doesn’t in your opinion. The site wouldn’t have to know anything about who you are; it would work like 3dsecure.

I am not for it but it wouldn’t be hard to do in countries like that; I guess the US doesn’t have / want this? Like a state owned social security login site?
I mean we kind of have "escort carriers" already in the form of amphibious ships that can operate helicopters and V/STOL fighters. Those work well enough for limited missions like close air support. But without high speed and catapults they can't operate the heavy aircraft necessary to defend a fleet or engage an adversary at long ranges. What worked in WW2 is no longer relevant.
The thing that really got me into this subject was building my own virtual machine and then a compiler to turn a high level language into machine code.

It sounds complicated but the VM, in Python, is basically:

r = {}
mem = []
boot(mem)
pc = 0
while True:
op, args = decode(mem[pc++])
if op == “+”:
d, a, b = args
r[d] = r[a] + b
elif ...:
...

The “source” which gets “compiled” can also just be Python function calls that emit op codes — no need to get bogged down with lexing and parsing!

The thing you focus on is the semantics of representing a function call (and return) in machine code and how to manage the stack. It made C make a lot more sense e.g. defining locals up front so the compiler knows how much stack space to use. I wish I could remember more — this was all from teaching A-Level Computer Science a few years ago.
Or even worse -- regulating the manifold pressute. A resting gas pedal means the engine is suctioning a vacuum in the manifold, whereas a fully depressed pedal means the manifold is restored to atmospheric pressure!
I think the opposite, I think most people would prefer the version with parentheses, including myself, also, in 20 years experience all companies I’ve worked for would prefer the second expression.

The first expression looks messy and confusing, the second is completely clear in how it will work.

One issue with the "diff" model is that in GIT (and most all VCs these days) there is no "one true answer" to the question "how did this old file change to become this new one".

Instead, what is stored is "what is the smallest/fastest/simplest way to create new file from old file".

(depends on tradeoff)

Which is not the same as what you may have actually done to change old file into new one.

One result is that the textual representation you see in "diff" is just one interpretation of how the file changed - since it is reconstructing it from first principles.

I mention this because the author mention the following positive of the diff mental model:
"most of the time I’m concerned with the change I’m making – if I’m just changing 1 line of code, obviously I’m mostly thinking about just that 1 line of code and not the entire current state of the codebase

when you click on a Git commit on GitHub or use git show, you see the diff, so it’s just what I’m used to seeing"

Of course, you see "a diff", not "the diff", because there is no "the diff". and when you change 1 line of code, the diff may or may not show it as having changed one line of code.

It is likely to in most cases because that usually meets the definition of longest common subsequence that common diff algorithms optimize for.
But not always.

Which leads to interest results when you were thinking about a change one way, but the diff doesn't show what you actually did to the code in your editor :)

"Oh, good, could he come over and bring, like, a large pizza, with pepperoni?"
