I concur. I'm 10k LOC deep into a SwiftUI app (Absolutely no clue how much that works out to be in Objective C + UIKit equivalent code), and one of the most frustrating things (after all the stuff you can't do without a PhD in apple internals) is how piss poor Swift errors are. I've changed a line of code in one file, and then another, completely unrelated one stopped compiling. Most frequently, it's something about how checking the file took too long and it should be broken up (which you will learn, really means you have a small error somewhere in said file and swift isn't in a sharing mood)

Hey didn't get special treatment. They got the published rules changed in regards to ALL E-Mail apps. Not just theirs. And they clearly show the resulting policy update in this post. That's not special treatment. That's progress.
They are separate compilers. Obj-C is compiled by clang, Swift by the Swift compiler. You enable bridging in Xcode and then get access to your Obj-C code in Swift through the use of a bridging header, and Swift in Obj-C through the use of the *-Swift.h generated header. You can write classes in Swift that are visible to Obj-C and vice versa. You can't expose everything from Swift to Obj-C since Obj-C is missing most of Swift capabilities, but it's easy to call back and forth.
"Twelfth Night ... which for most people in Britain now passes unnoticed"

Nowadays that is when you take the tree and decs down. Times change.

Back in the day, the bleak mid winter was really bleak. The twelve days of Christmas was quite a thing, when not much else could happen in a largely agrarian society. Each day had a name and a meaning and customs which might be followed. At last one involved a Roman style saturnalian role reversal - the lord became the servant and the servant the master. How much of all that stuff would be performed probably varied from area to area, just as modern xmas customs do today (bah humbug)

Nowadays wassailing is all that's left of an old custom and an old way of saying cheers and perhaps also the old English equivalent of the Italian "ciao".

Your doc, like most docs, is probably woefully undereducated on the subject. Or at the very least he's so used to the average patient that anything above average is just a relief.

It’s (much) more complicated than that. HEIC format allows multiple “frames” to be stored in the container, each one derived from the source (or each other). So there may literally be just one file but it has (algorithmically) the definition for generating (losslessly) the other files, too. So there isn’t/wouldn’t be even a separate “smaller copy” at all as it is generated on-the-fly.

Years ago I called NYT to cancel my subscription. After I repeated for the third or fourth time "I just want to cancel please" the representative finally relented but not before insulting me based on some assumption he formed based on my name.
Disk activity indicators, the ramping up of fan speeds, or the flashing of network activity lights used to tell me when my computer was doing something I wanted it to do. When my computer started (or stopped) doing a bunch of things unexpectedly it was an indication of compromise or of an application gone rogue.

These days, any number of people feel entitled to use our computers whenever they like for whatever they like. The company who makes your mouse driver might want to phone home, then silently download and install a bunch of software you never asked for. The maker of your OS sends themselves a steady stream of data about what you've been doing on your computer: which files you've had open recently, what software you have installed, etc. With countless people using our devices for their own benefit on their own schedules it's nowhere near as useful to know when your computer is doing "something" because it's always doing something.

Personally, I've always preferred the soft whir of fans and the clicks of old hard drives. For a time they were a wonderful source of white noise for sleeping and I would sometimes find myself waking up if a computer I'd tasked with something overnight suddenly fell silent because it encountered a problem. I'd get up, fix the issue, and go back to sleep comforted by the sounds of my computer working away for me once more. Today our machines can be always silent while never being still, and they can spend at least as much time working for others as they do for us. Indications of activity can still be useful to me at times, but they're never comforting the way they used to be.

Yeah, I think HN might be more lagging than others. Whatever you post on HN gets parsed and put on the internet by a dozen HN job bots, so some people may be a bit shy about it. People will go to job boards first. Some will ask friends. Some are okay telling strangers they got laid off, but don't want friends and family to know.

I think another lever is that when there's lots of people on the market, salaries drop. So people would be interviewing for a month then getting lowballed into a salary they wouldn't accept. Employers have been choosy even when at a market disadvantage. I'd hate to see what it's like these days where someone out there is rubbing their hands seeing some unicorn lay off 10% of their workforce.
As a recent homeowner, I've looked into some of this stuff, and my conclusion across the board has always been - it's never worth it.

Better airtight windows? Not worth it.

Heatpump? Not worth it.

Recycling/whatever? Not worth it.

Solar? Rarely worth it.

The basic math is that if you have a payback period of over 20 years then you'd do just as well to put that money in the market and then keep paying your extra electric bill. And on top of it, that's assuming your new thing (solar/whatever) works 100% perfectly with 0 effort or thought for 20 straight years.

I really want the math to work out on heatpumps and such, but when they are 30k installed it's just not there. I don't know the exact answers, but it does feel suspicious.

(Edit: Caveat, I want to acknowledge that there is a totally valid moral reason to do all of this, and I don't intend to negate that.)
The V60 we use is the Cross Country version, been to many dirt roads in the north of Sweden and Norway with it without a hitch.

Age verification is incompatible with the internet
There should be a lot more discussions of preInternet times by/for the young folks (<40 y.o.). Those of us on the bleeding edge of IT who also lived over half our lives in the “before days” naturally kept the best parts of preInternet culture while picking up those particular elements of digital culture that are (nearly) an absolute Good (and skipped the rest). The digital natives never knew the “before time”, and so need to make the same conscious effort to learn and integrate those preInternet wisdoms, as their forebears had made when learning digital technologies.

Those preInternet lifeways are only deprecated if you tell yourselves they are deprecated. You’d be amazed how backwards compatible your 2023 life can actually be, with a little tweaking here and there. Might be worth the effort.

The example given in the post is that & used to be the only conjunction operator, before && was added. Therefore, it was normal to write “if (a==b & c==d)”. While this is definitely not used anymore, the historical context is useful for explaining why the precedence of & is so low.

>For the people kinda worried: this is a highly specialized piece of glass that is extremely complicated to manufacture at present and must, due to the laws of thermodynamics, not be 100% transparent. It's not going to allow surveillance through existing glass installations in any form

If you're worried that your Airbnb host is going to use it to spy on you (which was mentioned in the article), unless you already scrutinize every nail hole, photo frame, electrical appliance, electrical outlets, smoke detector, etc, this doesn't open up a new vulnerability.

Pinhole cameras with a lens as small as 2mm are already readily available and cheap, no ones going to use an expensive "window camera" to spy on you when they already have so many other options.

Perhaps those that fear government surveillance or other well funded adversaries may have cause for concern, but few of us are in that category.
I've been seeing an increasing cynicism for anything that isn't a finished product and I'm a bit confused and concerned. It also seems a bit random. Like someone's blog post is okay, but a research paper is garbage? These can definitely be overselling, but I think that's a different discussion about the weird academic incentives (which we definitely should have, but is different). I feel like there's just an acceptance of cynicism and complaining but weirdly not for critiques. Just feels like we're throwing context out the window arbitrarily.

Do not introduce priority rules that destroy symmetry. I remember how much more pleasant the predicate calculus became to work with after we had decided to give con- and disjunction the same binding power and thus to consider p ∧ q ∨ r an ill-formed formula.

> Wouldn’t we need more information on why they decided to stop training at this point to conclude that?

The experiment was fixed at 3 epochs on 1T tokens, they didn't decide to "stop" at a given criterion.

> we don’t know which without looking at validation loss, which is like a second set of test data the model hasn’t seen before.

The data I linked shows the validation loss, which has the same behavior as the training loss.

Bill Ackman's academic wife Neri Oxman's dissertation is marred by plagiarism
I'd argue that encountering people that are slightly different than one's self is a normal daily reality for most people, and that using those people as characters in the protagonists' lives is just making the show relatable. I don't think it's a moral lesson any more than having parents who don't murder every episode is a moral lesson - sure it's an example of decent morals but it's not a lesson in morality.

That is to say, using same logic on "depicting brown people" and "depicting rape" is fundamentally flawed, it doesn't make sense to apply the same rules to "proximity to disabled people" and "murder" they aren't remotely in the same category. They are fundamentally different, and even if they were somehow similar enough to apply the same logic, they are not in any way similar in scope, its like claiming that showing a kid keeping a $100 bill they find on the street is somehow the same as showing a kid planning a multibillion dollar crypto heist... they involve different morals, different situations, and different consequences for every single person involved - that is they aren't the same.

Further, I never brought up someone being killed - that was a different person. You can tell because we have different usernames.
Sounds like you want Mojo, Lattner's statically typed language built on Python. In any case, the language you describe wouldn't be compatible with Obj-C except through an import layer like Swift. "Obj-C without the C" is meaningfully impossible.

And it's funny you mention systems programming, since Swift is still relatively bad at that compared to C++ or Rust, and most of its improvements in that area are recent and ongoing. It'll be another release or two before the memory movement features are fully in place and the language allows full control over ownership (without unsafe heroics at least).
The Paradoxical Pomegranate
the key point is that you and your wife agree what those boundaries are. i can't comment on the specific situation, but yeah, if the kids do something that i can't tolerate, then it's game over.
For sure another case for the "you doing it wrong" team at Nvidia.

But the decision to add Julia/CUDA.jl here was not the best idea on a comparison with really interesting insights about Fortran vs. Julia. The CUDA part of the code is nearly a one-to-one copy of the MPI code. Especially one sentence[1] (there are some similar, comparable blocks) explains why the code not performs very well.

Annoying yes! And I do like your solution (only get notification when expecting guests). But also would be nice to keep a log of those requests.

APs only have so much range (and I think you can configure it to cover a specific area). So can very easily find out who or what is trying to get in.
Try reading the comment I was responding to for context. I was responding to these claims in particular:

> But in 1969 it was not settled that the country should fix civil rights.

I responded to that by enumerating some of the civil rights laws that were passed during the 1960's.

> Probably Apollo would have been received differently by many people if other, more humane areas had seen as enthusiastic spending.

I agree that "enthusiastic spending" is an awkward phrase, but I was specifically calling back to actionfromafar's usage of it. And I responded by listing all of the humane spending programs that had been enacted in that period, ranging from Medicare and Medicaid to Social Security expansion to new funding programs for education, food stamps, transportation, and other such things.

In reality the administration of Lyndon Johnson was the second greatest expansion of the American federal welfare state in history (after the New Deal); it's simply not true to claim that the federal government during that period lacked "enthusiasm" for such things.

Edit: you have some rare knowledge, I'm curious if you have any thoughts on small models good enough for RAG. Mistral 7B is in my testing buts it's laughably slow and 7B is just too much for mobile, both iOS and Android get crashy. (4 tkns/s on Pixel Fold, similar on iOS). Similar problems on web from a good-enough 2 year old i7.

I'd try Phi-2 but I want to charge for my app and the non-commercial usage license bars that. (all these hours building ain't free! And I can't responsibly give search away, scraping locally is too risky for the user, and the free search API I know of has laudable goals, but ultimately, is "trust me bro" as far as privacy goes)

I'm starting to think we might not get an open, RAG capable model sub 7B without a concerted open source effort. Stabilitys distracted and spread thin, MS is all in on AI PCs(tm), and it's too commercially valuable for the big boys to give away

Off the top of my head I can’t think of anything that should bind more weakly than the equivalence.
Computers have come a long way. My M1 Studio only draws about 40-50w under heavy load (like, running AI models or a full screen 3D game).
Constant learning rates were the default in older ML implementations, but linear decay became an obvious optimization, and now we have both warmup and cosine decay to handle common training patterns, especially with the AdamW optimizer.

If the learning rate is too high at a given point in training, it can result in either a) the model stopping learning or b) exploding gradients, which is very bad.
Hell it's 2024 and I find myself translating Objective C into Swift

Some of this might not be accurate.

"Human testes are on average 0.06 percent of body weight and sperm concentration is about 25 million per ejaculate."

25 million per ejaculation would fall in the "low" fertility category. At the other end of the range you can have 10x that amount.

The part about bee phallus implantation is true, but to my knowledge it does not really deter others (in honey bees at least). The queen mates with multiple males and has offspring using genetics from more than one.
Hm. I have mixed feelings about this project (judging solely from the video presentation). On one hand, it is very impressive, no question about that. The sheer amount and diversity of stuff in it would require a degree of focus that makes me feel envious even after this very superficial examinaton. On the other hand, the choice of which stuff to put in just disagrees with how the boundaries are drawn in my head—I’d would have thought a file monitor and a build system/dependency tracker were separate tools, while expecting at least the simple part of migration boilerplate to be generated.

But I guess that’d require hooks into the compiler frontend, which is not just goes against your goal of being relatively compiler-agnostic but is also fantastically difficult for C++. (I wonder if DWARF contains enough data to at least transfer over identically-named fields?.. It’s also something of a bear, but nowhere near a full C++ frontend.) I don’t know how this could be useful to you, sorry. Thank you for showing your project, I’m grateful for the food for thought in any case.

Now, can we just all take a moment to appreciate that you needed a Smalltalk-style become:[1] and ended up making an object table, precisely the classic Smalltalk way? In the end it’s either that or precise pointer tracing, there isn’t (AFAIK) a lot of choice, but it’s still amusing to see an ostensibly high-level mechanism reproduced in a very different environment.
