I do the same thing with the nacelle!

I haven’t researched enough to be certain, but it seems like shielding yourself from being hurt by an uncontained engine failure is probably the only thing that an individual can affect by their own choices on a modern commercial jet. Most other accident types seem to be either not tied to any specific area of the plane or so large/non-survivable that there’s nothing a passenger can do.

It’s silly since the odds of literally anything happening are so low, but it makes some part of my brain happier so I do it.
The same can be said for most code. It isn’t improving quality of life for most people. Like I really need another todo app. Let all the programmers live on scraps. It’s a primal drive for them. /s
The difference is that the books we still read are the ones that have proven to be more universally true than the rest. We only know about old books that have remained relevant in one way or another. We've long forgotten the tripe.

With modern things, we don't yet know what will remain relevant and what will fade into obscurity or lose its relevance.
> Agreed, that's my point why the diff model isn't helpful at all to think about.

Similar to the particle-wave duality in physics, a commit is both a snapshot and a diff, and similar to physics, which way to look at it depends on context.

For example, if you are rebasing branch A onto branch B, then you will want to look at the current state of branch B (the snapshot model) plus the diffs of the relevant commits from branch A (the diff model).

You will get nowhere fast if you try to look at branch A using the snapshot model. (And looking at branch B using the diff model will drive you insane.)

How git stores the data is orthogonal to that, I kind of know in the back of my head but I don't really care too much. It's enough that git gives me access to both the snapshot and the diff aspect of a commit.

I am not arguing against Julia, I am arguing against Python, but you aren't getting it at all.

I am not going to bother with Julia vs C++ evangelism.

By the way, there are 1980's papers about Common Lisp versus Fortran floating point performance, that you can certainly easily find out.

Manufacturer's Repair DRM Killed Train's Power, Broke Compressor
There have been a number of proposals along those lines to install containerized missiles on cargo ships. It's technically possible, but cargo ships are so slow and vulnerable that they would only be useful to supplement the magazines of surface warships conducting convoy escort missions. That's a pretty niche mission now and it would be difficult to justify the expense.

I fully support Nvidia competition. Their monopoly is bad news for a variety of reasons, obviously.

However, as you note many of these implementations (Intel, AMD, Google TPU, etc) are more or less at the “get PyTorch to kind of work” stage.

I don’t know of many/any real world applications that are “vanilla” PyTorch at this point.

Stuff like Flash Attention (2), HF accelerate/optimum, distributed training implementations, Deepspeed, custom CUDA kernels all over the place, TensorRT, PyTorch 2 compile, SPDA, serving frameworks, etc. The software stacks and resulting functionality, usability, and performance CUDA “owns” are truly endless.

Any real project or implementation I’ve touched in the last year is so intertwined and dependent on CUDA it’s mind blowing and the CUDA lead is only increasing.

With AMD/ROCm as one example when you finally kind of get things to sort of work even though the hardware is potentially competitive on paper the software ecosystem is so far behind you’re happy to pay the “Nvidia tax” because not only is CUDA significantly smoother overall the endless stacks of optimized software implementations for CUDA make any allegedly comparable implementations run at a fraction of the speed while also burning dev time left and right.

Love or hate Nvidia the 15 year investment and dominance of CUDA is very apparent to anyone who’s actually working with this stuff and just trying get something done.

Again, as you note it’s interesting to watch observers/casual users claim these implementations are competitive because in my experience you get even one level deeper and it’s a complete nightmare. I try ROCm every couple of months and end up laughing and/or shaking my head at just how far behind it is (after six years).

I’m really rooting for them but the reality is these CUDA “competitors” have a very very long way to go.
That isn’t an argument to stop producing them. It’s an argument for letting time pass to determine which remain relevant.

Sounds straightforwardly punitive and cruel behavior to me, not just cowardly, overzealous CYA stuff.
Something that might not be obvious if you don't listen to or watch far right media is that miracle/bogus cures are huge part of their advertising revenue. Not sure exactly why but this fits the pattern of behaviour.
Yeah, I came to the accordion via Tom Waits. But I know what you mean. I think it's a... bit narrow instrument, at least nowadays. I got into some Scandinavian folk music, too, so I'm slowly broadening my expressive range. I try to avoid the oom-pah stuff.

But truth is, I'm an absolutely wretched musician. I never really got my clawhammer sounding good. The only thing I'm decent at is probably bass, and I think my tone is absolute crap.
I think the library is far more impressive than the book itself. It felt sacred.
I think that gvmt's are wasteful and i just don't like to pay high taxes because i had $0 20 years ago. In this particular situation its even worse because it's double taxation.

My original comment on this is related to punishing the savers that accumulated that capital, i can't fathom that.

If you like to pay takes and are looking forward to pay more, there's nothing i can add to convince you.

What is your take on inheritance? I understood that you think that it should not be allowed? You called a divine right! Should the gvmt have your assets? If not who?

Most importantly of all, its what investors and stockholders want to see now, and they will punish the stock price of anything that doesnt have an AI strategy.
The Intersection of Science and Religion with Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Comparing all of the U.S. or Canada is meaningless, but when you look at regions with similar population densities, then yes, it is surprising. Switzerland only has about half the density of the U.S. East Coast, for example.
I think there is still a place for filtering of physical books. Both bookstores and libraries do a reasonable job of presenting a set of potential books to read.

I'm reasonably happy with the average physical book I read. That's much less true for ebooks.

And I mostly buy books from Amazon that I've heard about elsewhere so don't depend on that filter as much.

i generally agree with the sentiment, yet sadly this topic has been politicized. we apply partisan blinders depending on which political faction is perceived to have promoted a concrete course of action.

for one example, while i have been out of the loop on this one for a while, iirc the use of mechanical ventilators in early stages of the pandemic, by medically licensed personnel was tantamount to medical malpractice. establishment will never admit it, at the very least for legal liability reasons.

I didn't know date supported that – can still do that with "tz '4 hours ago'".

For me the most useful part is being able to quickly translate things like "let's do a video chat at 3pm PST" to something that makes sense, which is why it had the second argument to set the timezone.

> So three books and then ChatGPT.

I’m guessing if you only read three books and ChatGPT, you won’t do well in this class.

My understanding is that the three books are a starting point, and the student takes it from there based on their interests.
I'm working on it. Often ChatGPT lies a bit, as their main concern right now is that you pass the HR screening. But I think this can be tweaked in the instructions
Whats your definition of 'protocol-first design'? Incentives definitely exist for the company I work for, which develops OpenZiti and zrok, and we do have a SaaS offering for both, but fundamentally we lead with the open source and make it as simple as possible (always a work in progress) to self-host, or else you wouldn't have people adopt the open source.

FOSS, as a GTM strategy, mandates reducing the initial barrier to entry, with the majority consuming your products for free, and only a small subset (usually with large, complex, production-scale deployments) wanting the SaaS version or some sort of paid support.

I can only speak for myself, I am not that technical when it comes to a command line, and I have deployed zrok locally.

And you are right, technically we could relicense. But we will not. Our goal is to turn Ziti into the equivalent to Linux for secure-by-default, distributed networking. This is why we permissively OSS under Apache 2.0. This is why we help others to build their own hosted versions of Ziti/zrok. This is why I expect, in the future, we will create an open governance model. We all know how badly is goes when you create a popular tool and try to pull the rub (cough, Hashicorp).

> I just list my email address.

That's what I did too. I added a mailto: link to the Hugo post template that also prefills the subject line with the title of the post when you click on it. The interactions I've had with this method feel much more meaningful to me than the average comment thread, for all the reasons @sph already mentioned.
People seem quick to forget that religion/philosophy was originally married to the quest to discover more about our world.

Carl Sagan, before lamenting about modern astrology, reminds us in Cosmos that astrology was once an actual attempt to make heads or tails of an impercievably large cosmic system and understands these are largely attempts at answers that simply lack the information/ability to falsify them yet.

What psychological tendencies the common man has about those beliefs/theories presented to them is a whole other topic.

I've finally read enough texts from various sources to feel ready to start Aldous Huxley's book on The Perennial Philosophy which I'm finding a refreshingly well researched alternative to, as you say, propaganda from whoever passes by in conversation.

The nim syntax only looks like python on the surface. It actually feels quite different when more complex language features are involved. Nim is more restrictive than python and harder to write. IMHO, nim is not the language that common python programmers would like especially if they only know python.

Because by around 25 years of age your view of the world is already formed for the great part.
"The trains were designed to break if they sat idle for 21 days or if a GPS detected them at independent repair centers or competitors’ rail yards. Perhaps most interestingly, one of the analyzed trains had code in it that was supposed to artificially lock the train’s compressor on the seemingly arbitrary date of December 21; a NewAg train then actually had a compressor malfunction on December 21."

They need to sue because they're going to go out of business. This isn't DRM, it's just fraud.

Case in point: what else is there not yet discovered? I'm sure there's more.
That's a good starting place, then.

This book is a good illustration of why it's better to read history. Most of the research in it failed to replicate and with incredible arrogance the author tells you that "you have no choice but to accept that the major conclusions of these studies are true" refering to priming research - thinking of Florida makes you walk slower, that kind of thing.
This is not at all a serious syllabus on this topic. I cannot understand the inclusion of ChatGPT.

If you want a nice, single-volume history try Roger backhouse’s “the ordinary business of life”, soon to come in a second edition.

There is a much older book by schumpeter but it’s extremely dated as well as overly long.
It's not a nop. Merge queues solve the following issue:

1. Author 0 makes branch_0 and tests it in CI. It passes.

2. Author 1 makes branch_1 and tests it in CI. It passes.

3. They both merge their branches.

This can break `master`, irrespective of the kind of merging you use. Fundamentally two people can make changes that are valid (pass CI) independently but not when combined.

That kind of breakage gets more common the more different people you have working on a project. If you just have a handful of people it's relatively rare so you can just accept `master` breaking occasionally. If you have a few dozen people or more then it's pretty much a requirement.

I don't think there are any serious downsides to enabling it.
Anyone betting some put options on Monday? I am thinking about doing this…

I think ppl need to realize that Microsoft isn't a uniform monolithic entity. Its a collection of hundreds of products all desperately vying for the attention of the market and of their own enterprise sellers. Anyone inside msft who has a "failing" product like Bing would have looked at the halo around openai and told their dev and marketing teams to drop everything and get some of that glory. To steal Mitt Romneys infamous phrase, companies are people, too.

>> How can you be neutral with someone who repeatedly demonstrates via voting they would prefer a world where some of your loved ones, friends, and acquaintances live a diminished life for simply being?

> That poster thinks people who don't agree with him are literally murdering him.

"Live a diminished life" is not "literally murdering" anyone. It's literally in the first word! "Live!"

It seems you're the one who's radicalized with an agenda and will make demonstrably false claims to illustrate your point.

(This is a sign you've been brainwashed)

> The notion that everybody but yourself are radicalized and want to harm you because they didn't vote for the free condoms for all homosexuals bill is laughable.

You're so close to self awareness yet so far.

But I see your agenda is anti-homosexual so... yeah. I'm done.

I suspect that's only an issue on airliners when the hole happens in a window.

There's no shortage of search results confirming that something like gunfire on an airliner likely won't depressurize the plane unless it hits a window....
I've toyed around with it a few times. I like it! It's definitely a cool product, and I think with its focus on modularity it blurs the line between a traditional DAW focused on production/composition and a more experimental DAW focused on sound design, as opposed to Live's focus on blurring the line between a DAW focused on live performance and a DAW focused on composition/production.

I'm not one who is focused on a DAW's particular weaknesses, rather, what makes each one unique from a functionality point of view.

I love Live, but that doesn't mean I hate FL Studio, Reason, Logic, Bitwig, VCV Rack, etc... In fact, as someone who spends more time in the DAW doing crazy and experimental sound design versus actual song production (blame my ADHD for that!), I enjoy some of the unique features of all the major DAWs.
First, she didn't cop to the wholesale Wikipedia copying that BI later found. A truly "gracious" response would be to fully come clean.

Second, presumably she signed off on Ackman's response, which was to launch an investigation of the entire MIT faculty. Again, not what I would call "gracious".

Further, Ackman characterized this as an attack on his family whereas when he did exactly the same thing to Gay he was "addressing problems in higher education". Yeah, sure…

Also, if, as he has claimed, Gay’s plagiarism is evidence that DEI is causing unqualified people to be promoted, what does it say that his wife and probably a bunch of other white MIT faculty did the same thing? Looking forward to him recanting that.
That may correlate to a given host, device, or customer connection, but none of those are natural persons.

Who had control of said device on that connection? Was a child using it? Remote-execution malware or a botnet? Was a criminal hacking their home WiFi?

I admire two things here: the hardware aesthetic, which is just beautiful, and the pioneering spirit, which is extremely daring.

That said, I've got a bone to pick with the standard narratives in electronic music history. They dwell on the origins like here but gloss over what I believe to be a cambrian Explosion brought about by DAWs/plugins from the 2000s. I get that it's 'history,' but this explosion deserves far more attention and analysis.
