You've really nailed from my perspective.

I used my phone as a way to withdraw and escape. Even the most mundane situations warranted some degree of escape. Very stressful times would boost my screen time dramatically.

It seemed painfully simple in retrospect. Like any behavioural addiction, though, I had an endless supply of reasons to be on a screen at any given time. Scary stuff. I don't think I'm the kind of person people would think behaves that way, nor did I necessarily. But we're all human, and this is a very human thing. It sneaks into your life in such an insidious way, and does so much damage before you can consciously see it or feel it.

>>>people we reject aren’t getting rejected because they aren’t a good fit or lack skills - it’s just that someone else was a little better.

This is one of the most disheartening negative impacts for looking for work when you have decades of success in your career:

"We appreciate you applying, but we found others who are better than you. Thank anyway, loser"

These emails, are lose-lose-lose; You lose by getting the email, you lose by the feeling it imbues, you lose because you dont have RHFL to your actions.

I would like a reverse RHFL - an AIRHL (which is what AI is meant to do) (AI Reinforced Human Learning)

Dont tell me I am rejected, I want to know where to improve...

This would be a wonderful triage app for AI going forward - is just a site such as linkedin, should have a GPT that reads your profile/CV and just constantly asks you Continuous Education questions, and gives you credits for answering correctly, and builds training modules for you...

No, they don't do this. It's not even clear how they would; the closest thing would be merging based on IP or fingerprinting, but both are extremely noisy.

I don't think that polarization makes any practical difference to how hazardous non-ionizing radiation is. Please show a reference to back up your claim.

How do you think polarization makes any difference if a ten-millionth of a watt at 12GHz hits your skin?

In the example of standing ten feet from a cellphone base station, I point to IEEE C95.1-2019 which specifies a maximum of 2watts per square meter (below 6GHz) which does not worry me at all.

Here is another figure for you: The total power of the cosmic background radiation across 1 to 200GHz or so is 0.000003 watts per square meter

At the earths surface, the total power of the cosmic background radiation is higher than the power level of the starlink downlinks!

Unreal's original Hot Reload system is despised by Unreal developers, and it is a constant source of headaches for new developers using C++ with Unreal, as it can corrupt the (in memory, but also serialized and persistent) UObjects that your game relies on to run.

> it will take more time, be a bit more painful and require a different training... but your code will be shielded against compiler and language complexity and planned obsolescence, which has stellar value on the long run.

This is a bit of a stretch. Not one ISA has lived longer than C without making any changes whatsoevever, but I admit that this could at least be possible for some kinds of devices. What is utterly ludicrous is to suggest that people write code only in RISC-V because all hardware ever built in future will somehow agree to only use RISC-V. If any hardware ever uses any other ISA, then we're back where we started, writing in higher-level languages that can compile to multiple ISAs. What do you believe will fundamentally change this?

Anyway, your argument about churn is flawed from a simpler angle anyway. When C, C++, or Rust evolves in future, existing code continues to work. That's the very opposite of "planned obsolescence", it's ensuring that past investment continues to pay future rewards. The ISO working groups and the Rust team go to enormous lengths to ensure code remains compatible while making new advancements. I don't know how much of these processes you've observed in the past, but if you're calling them "planned obsolescence" I would urge you to learn more about them before producing critiques.

An ISA can also continue to evolve in strictly backwards-compatible ways, but history has shown there are many reasons that multiple ISAs can coexist and that newer ones may supersede older ones without backwards compatibility. RISC-V may avoid some of those factors, but as it's barely been adopted in the real world at all yet, it's a bit premature to somehow presume it's the last word on ISAs and no new ISAs should ever be created ever again.

Most of the energy from driving at highway speeds is coming from aerodynamic drag, and as you say, the Teslas are highly optimized, and the average camper trailer is not really at all. With a gas vehicle this isn't too big of a deal because you only use the camper a couple of times a year, and there are gas stations everywhere, and it only takes a few minutes to fill up.

This suggests to me that there's an emerging business in camper trailers designed for EVs. Make aerodynamics a priority (which also does increase costs and potentially make the living space a less useful shape). There are also trailers starting to emerge that have batteries in them. I've seen some where you can charge the car from the trailer's battery (not sure if they work while the car is moving though), and there are even a couple where the trailers wheels are driven, but I'm not sure how much of that you can really do and keep the vehicle stable.
>For the second, though, I spent a year unemployed in the middle of the dotcom crisis and must have applied to hundreds.

That's an example of what I was talking about though. I set LastPass to only let me sign in from the US and suddenly I was locked out at home because it thought my home IP address was non-US despite definitely being in the US at the time.
I haven't been affected, thankfully. I'm actually leaving my amazing job to go write a book, travel, maybe start a business.

I think it's interesting how in some ways the tables have turned for the people who used to interview me. When I was breaking into software five years ago, I remember how the interview process could feel dehumanizing. I was a self-taught developer, I didn't have a computer science degree. Insane interview questions that had nothing to do with writing stable & performant code, take-home assignments, automated ghosting and vague feedback that wasn't helpful in the slightest. All for the privilege of burning yourself out to build someone else's dream.

Nowadays, it sounds to me like a lot of older developers with 10, 15, 20 years of experience who never had to deal with this bullshit are suddenly discovering how interviewing for software engineering roles can be a tad capricious and arbitrary. After 10-15 years they know exactly what the job is. They know they can do it, and don't understand why they need to jump through all these other hoops.

It's not exactly schadenfreude, but I can't help but feeling that if engineering leaders and hiring managers had listened to the feedback from all the junior developers that came in between 2015-2020 about how insane the hiring process was and actually did something to improve it, perhaps those same 'staff' engineers or whatever they are calling themselves nowadays would be able to reap the rewards of the improved infrastructure created to effectively interview and place software engineers into roles they can have confidence they would succeed in.

Instead, you have the same shit I was wading through 5 years ago and it still stinks.
Expensive is relative. Model 3s and Model Ys are often cheaper than the comparable luxury competition from the BMWs and Audis of the world. Sure, a Corolla or a Kia are cheaper, but that's not the same market.
In such situations, people won’t think about that.

What I’ve read, the reason people taking their carry-on at least partly is because, when having to get out of a plane in a stressful situation, they won’t think “what shall I do now.”, but just activate their “deboard plane” program, and that involves getting their bags before getting out of the plane.
That's fair, but I don't think it necessarily contradicts my perspective. He could have a strong engineering background and still throw money at the rule of cool, and it could still turn out to be not the worst strategy in a country that's looking to innovate and to subsidize innovation.

>>> "This model is special because it can do similar tasks as the big models but requires much less computational power1. It’s like having a small but powerful engine that can do the work of a big one. This makes it more accessible for more people to use it"

---

>>> "TinyGPT-V is built on another model called Phi-2 and uses pre-trained vision modules from BLIP-2 or CLIP1. It has 2.8 billion parameters (these are like the model’s brain cells) and can be further compressed to fit on devices with 8GB memory1. This means you could potentially run this model on your personal computer or even some high-end smartphones1"

----

>>> "In summary, TinyGPT-V is a step towards making powerful AI models more accessible and efficient, which could lead to their use in a wide range of real-world applications1. The authors have also shared their code and training weights for others to use and learn from1"

-----

This is really interesting if you fan out implications over N time?

Here is my thinking:

Assume this paper results in a way of "compression-alyzed vision" into a model (a tiny compressed view into a model)

Then one, in a few years can imagine "laser views" - that slice through fractals of models to find the result. Resulting in tiny agents that have a heat-seeking-fractal-laser that can navigate giant data based on a method of knowing instantaneously what to exclude (meaning the path is defined by the walls that you already know you do not want to hit, so your steps are always that which helps you forward)

You wouldn’t, that’s not my argument. People talk about the cost of replacing the battery at today’s prices, but in reality you’d be paying the future price. Given the 8 year warranty, expected 200,000 - 600,000 mile* lifetime [0] and the rapid decline [1] of battery prices, most people would never need to replace the battery and if they did, it would be in a future where they are cheaper.

We full time'd for a while towing a 40ft trailer with a diesel f250. While it is obviously not "efficient" relative to smaller rigs, it is way more efficient than living in a house and commuting daily even with an EV. This is one of those things I don't think people realize about "low carbon impact living" (or whatever you would want to call it), you likely get 80% there just by not heading/cooling a 2k sqft house all the time.

The complexity of deployed identification/auth chain/secrets management/ec. is pretty terrifying; even if you can somehow understand it for one OS and hardware platform, if your service needs to support multiple OSes plus web plus multiple auth technologies plus a recovery path and everything else, dragons.

This is one of the few things cryptocurrency gets right in one specific way better than most other applications -- in most cases, everything is explicitly about operations with a key, and you build up protections on both sides of that. Unfortunately those protections themselves are often inadequate (hence billions of dollars in losses), but it's at least conceptually simpler and potentially could be fixed.

> the linux kernel do not bother anymore and is compiled for "generic" x86_64 for instance, it is not worth it (and may cause more harm in the end)

This is not the reason why. Indeed x86_64 has a much broader instruction & register baseline than i386 did, so the impact of per-CPU tuning is less than it used to be. But even a generic compiled Linux selects CPU instruction sets at runtime for things like hardware-accelerated cryptography, because those instruction sets actually matter. If you have evidence that modern microcode magically recognizes hand-written AES and replaces it with the equivalent AES-NI instructions, please be sure to send Linus your patches with benchmarks.
The cost of the spot is factored into the cost of the building so it still costs something, but even if it were a separate bill I'd still be stuck paying for it because I need a car and it has to go somewhere (plus I live in an area where it snows and don't want to get up at 5AM to move it every time that happens or scrape the ice off my windows/mirrors before I can leave).
Rhetorical Devices, Ranked
> even if someone engages in bad faith, it can still be valuable to let them demonstrate that bad faith to the world.

I think we've heard enough from them. The talking points are tired, the joke is always the same joke. There's nothing to learn here. And besides that, back when it was pretty normal not to indulge this offensive clown show, we had no issue discussing issues of hate speech without allowing it to proliferate. Imagine that.

> These terms are often used with many different meanings, can you define them as you are using them here?

This is exactly what I mean by bad faith. Come on, man. Every single time an advocate for platforming hate speech gets into a debate, they immediately run to hide in a rhetorical quagmire, hoping someone will follow them into it. Find a bigger idiot, I don't play those games.

I used Shed Skin in the long long ago to speed up a solver for a queuing problem I was playing with.

The journey was:

- naive python solver: https://github.com/dgoffredo/wait-time/blob/master/solver.py

- "optimized" solver that ended up being slower due to more time spent in the python interpreter: https://github.com/dgoffredo/wait-time/blob/master/solver_op...

- used Shed Skin to speed up the python bits, but I don't recall whether I got it to integrate with the fsolve module (I doubt it in retrospect)

In a roundabout you nearly always need to reposition your hands. At least in the smaller ones there is around here. And the turn signal is important, because many roundabout have 2 lanes, and if you are in the inner lane, you really need to indicate you want to exit. Also, my technique is to keep my left hand fixed relative to the car (thus near the stalk), and grab the wheel with the right one, the wheel then slide in my left hand and if I need more force, I close my left fist on the wheel and I have one hand at the best possible position to control the wheel with two hands. Anyway, I would really hate having buttons moving with the wheel.
