It depends on what is it you do when you “do ml”.
Yeah, I’ll second your comment. Just went back to visit friends for a few weeks and was up down down the country from Tokyo to Naha, almost never needed cash.

10 years ago was a different story, maybe. Nowadays Japan’s pretty digital when it comes to money.
That's true, but also beside the point.

Flatcircle's point wasn't really predictive maintenance vs. fixed lifetime, it was about government using conservative design margins vs for-profit industry's riskier design margins.

Predictive maintenance lets you achieve a better cost-vs-risk curve, but the organization still needs to select a point somewhere along that curve.
Well, I’ll be there when you get to it! I understand it’s a small company, and there must be a million priorities.
> But as soon as she walked into the jury room, she realized she was in the minority. It was easy for her to write “not guilty” on a piece of paper but much harder to discuss the case confidently as the two white men aggressively advocated for guilt.

Each to their own, but she was under no obligation to vote guilty. I'm not sure why the article purports that "two white men" (I'm not white) were the "problem" here, and not that the problem was her inability to stand by her convictions.

I often disagree with what I consider dramatised recounts of history, as if it's always some good vs bad, David vs Goliath tale.

This was the 1970's in America, if she knew something that others didn't she should have had held her ground. As most people would have given that you are holding someones life in your hands. You can blame external factors all you want, but it is your still your reckoning.

And great, that this person eventually helped them rectify this injustice.

But what a silly way to tell the story.
You could skim through the topics you know well. In my experience, most Rust resources are not targeting beginner developers.
The speed of light is not violated with inflation. Space can expand faster than the speed of light without matter needing to travel faster than speed of light.
I believe there is a form of PTSD that develops within toxic software development jobs and I wish it would receive more legitimate attention and treatment options.

I have tried to explain to my therapist why I have developed something like PTSD around peer reviews... yes, we all say "you are not your work" but that does not excuse being (dare I say) abusive in comments on PRs.
I agree with the sibling; I think Apple's attention to UX is going to inform them that physical controls are good on a car, even if physical controls on the front of a phone (a la earlier iPhone models) are unnecessary.

I do assume it'll be a locked-down, walled-garden experience, only serviceable at Apple Stores (which will open garages at some locations), assuming they can get away with that legally. They'll reject any non-Apple-genuine part, of course.

But to your point about voice control, I do expect Apple will try to make that really good. Touchscreens suck for keeping your attention on the road when you want to change the heat temperature or change songs or stations. Physical controls are better. But good, painless, non-frustrating voice control is by far the best option for avoiding distractions and keeping your eyes on the road.
> reselling most open-source code is theft under the licenses in common use.

That doesn't sound like any OSS license in common use; and one of the freedoms that FOSS licenses preserve is the freedom to sell software. Which license do you think they're in violation of?

> maybe, but on this forum of rather clever people, I assume people mean what they say.

That is a bad assumption. People often mis-speak and there is nothing that protects against that. When people make a claim that isn't true, it is prudent to seek clarification in the first instance to prevent misunderstandings. Particularly when dealing with cross-cultural institutions where the management presumably speak Chinese.

No one is taking their words seriously, just their actions.
First and most important publishers provide funding. To give an example here is a work you need to build a small game and you can imagine how much it costs:

- 1 project manager / year.

- 1 game designer / year.

- 1-2 programmer / year.

- 2-3 months month of sound design / music.

- 3-5 artists / year.

Even if you have a great multi-skill team you need at least 5-6 people for a 6-9-12 months and it's would be very much skeleton crew.

There are cases where team of 1-3 people working part-time without funding can build a great game, but it's require both sticking to specific genres and greater use of ready-to-use assets which means it must be 3D. Game that small indie company will build in 6 month will take 3-6 years with a team working part-time.

Indie devs who self publishing only target PC because commercial porting sertvices cost starting from $10,000-15,000 per platform and it's gonna be way more expensive if game wasnt optimized for gamepad and big screens from beginning. And it's just impractical to port it yourself because it will take many months to pass certifications since know-how for proprietary platforms is not available on stack overflow.
Thank you! Feel free to try it! I'd love to hear your feedback on the app.
It doesn’t support f16 or i8 at all yet (at least not in the released version).

The website does lean a little more marketing-heavy than my blog but I think that is just how Taylor writes and presents on the internet. A lot of the fancy-sounding claims are just very boring details.

The dependency fixing thing is mostly a claim based on something like static linking, where you can do the moral equivalent of require(x) and have x downloaded and checksum'd and loaded into memory---and then you keep using that version. Like a Merkle DAG. I don't know that this approach fixes all problems, but the solution is a lot less interesting than it sounds in that description IMO.

"scrap" is just an expression but you can reference any expression by its hash since it's all serializable. That's also what he means by the next bullet.

"Optimized for AI" is, IMO, a bad misrepresentation because what he means (I think) is since you put the use before the definition (f x . f = ...), it gives more room for sufficiently advanced autocomplete to fill in the definition.

If you can picture a language where every expression is a Git object and you can pull in objects from other repos at will and you can take arbitrary snapshots of your program (a tree-equivalent), you kind of get an idea of what's going on.
> iPhones are just absolutely everywhere

... in the US. iPhone market share is much lower in other countries. I do wonder if it's low enough to affect things like their Find My network.
That is way more than I'll ever do. I just use regular fresh ground coffee, some water, half and half, a teaspoon of sugar and you're good. He's right about lowering the heat though, but you can get 90% the same result with just fresh ground coffee and low heat, you don't need a ton of gadgets. I prefer the stainless steel pot to avoid aluminum leeching.
To my knowledge, RIFF is comparable to the lowest levels of the QuickTime container format in that it’s made up of chunks with a tag and a size. Lots of file formats have done that back into the 1960s and probably even before, it’s one of the most basic ways to represent typed records in streams. (I think a lot of people forget that data processing started with fixed-sized records, and that streams and variable-sized records were innovations.)

What the QuickTime format supports that makes it appropriate for representing tape data—and for receiving Emmy and Oscar awards, among others, for its classical uses—is provide a bunch of additional abstractions atop its low-level implementation to represent typed and subtyped streams of data that (accurately!) span time intervals using arbitrary timebases. One of the reasons some other formats are less appropriate is that they don’t have that separation between type and subtype (track and track media, in QuickTime terminology), don’t allow arbitrary tracks, don’t support media with different native timebases, etc. This means you can’t easily write code that’s agnostic of the sample representation and CODEC details. (This was my issue with Ogg a couple decades ago—it’s a playback format for finished artifacts, not a format for authoring and editing.)

I figure instead of reinventing all of the stuff that’s already been done the past 30+ years for getting that sort of layering right, it’s much easier to just come up with some new track types and CODECs and fit them into an architecture that already supports most of what the problem requires.
Maybe look for a new job?
Two brilliant points:

"When you venture outside the scientific literature into the world of contemporary consumer marketing, most of the placebos you’ll find are still the deceptive kind. You know how it works: People given samples of chocolate or wine rate the supposedly expensive ones as better even though the samples are identical."

"Placebos also haunt what the political scientist Murray Edelman famously termed the 'symbolic uses of politics.' In voters’ 'anxious search for direction,' Edelman argued, they might be drawn to leaders who can 'dramatize confidence in a world many of them find alien'—regardless of whether that performance achieves anything for the voter."

Pretty sure they meant a big iPod touch, which was basically an iPhone without the phone part, not a gen 1 iPod.

The 2nd gen iPad was the real magic, and made me start paying more attention to Apple. There were rumours of a "Retina display", higher res than an HDTV in a tablet size. I was doubtful. I figured if display manufacturers could do that, we wouldn't be stuck with all these 1080p monitors and 768p laptops... Well, it turns out I was wrong. Display manufacturers just can't be bothered to make compelling displays on their own for some reason.

That crisp display, with enough horsepower to run things smoothly, there was nothing else comparable at the time.

Yeah! Companies should make it easy to reach out to a real person for technical issues and related matters.
That's my understanding. MR is very simplistic and awkward/impossible to express many problems in, whereas dataflow processors like Spark and Apache Beam support creating complex DAGs of rich set of operators for grouping, windowing, joining, etc. that you just don't have in MR. You can do MR within a DAG, so you could say that dataflows are a generalization or superset of the MR model.
Consider a graph in which one side shows how easy it is to achieve a goal, and the other side shows how useful it is,

At the beginning of industrialisation we were solving easy and useful problems. For example, sanitation, refrigeration, etc.

Now we're solving problems that are not only useless but potentially destructive, such as the attention economy, artificial intelligence and planned obsolescence. At the same time, these problems use up a lot of energy and cause pollution.
I have heard people claiming that taxation is theft. I have never heard anyone claim that taxation makes us slaves.

Income tax is even less coercive than previous forms taxation, where people were taken from whether or not they could afford it. With income tax, people who do not work do not pay it. In fact many people who do work do not pay income tax.
Do you have a source for that plateau? I’ve read that early success predicts future success on age adjusted tests. But the children were still improving in absolute terms over a decade post surgery.
Ask HN: Is C++ logic code using WASM faster than JavaScript logic code?
say both logic code do the exact same thing but just written in C++ or Javascript will speed time be noticeable?
This is a task where Halide https://halide-lang.org/ could really shine! It disconnects logic from scheduling (unrolling, vectorizing, tiling, caching intermediates etc), so every step the author describes in the article is a tunable in halide. halide doesn't appear to have bindings for golang so calling C++ from go might be the only viable option.

The whole point of jury deliberations is to discuss and debate the case. It would be counterproductive to keep one’s position secret during the process. Multiple votes, including informal straw polls, are often necessary.

This trial was 1990, the first case to use DNA evidence in the US was in 1987, it'd be pretty close to assume that they'd be relying on DNA tests heavily enough by then.

Anyway, this case didn't really involve DNA that could be collected. A creep flashed a girl and then sped off, she later recognized the car and followed it, it stopped at an address the accused had lived at several years ago, but cops just figured it was him. There's also a rape mentioned, which happened in 1987, so similar issue.
How Nintendo is still in business is beyond me.

They are adversaries to their own customers, aggressively pursue meaningless IP violations, aggressively decrease the value of their own products (Wii store anyone?) and failed to innovate in decades pushing out the same trite and formulaic games over and over again.
Ohh you're not a serious person. Got it.

If anyone... I guess any children are reading this my tip off was: "It ended slavery and genocide worldwide."

This... is an absurd thing to claim. I'm not even gonna address OP anymore because this is flat-earth levels of bullshit. It's the definition of correlation does not equal causation.

First of all, capitalism didn't end slavery. I can't speak for the whole globe but it sure as fuck didn't end slavery in America. The US stopped paying taxes to the monarchy in 1765. 10 years later we had the revolutionary war. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed, in 1787 the constitution was signed. We still had slaves in the US. In 1862 the slaves were "freed" but it took 3 more years for news to travel and for slavery to actually be abolished in the US. Even still black people were effectively denied many rights until the 1960's

So, whichever date you want to pick out of that soup and decide "this is when capitalism solved slavery", you're wrong. And that doesn't even touch on American capitalists fencing slave labor in the modern day/recent past.

Second, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides

I'm not going to go point by point but I guarenteeeeeee you can find examples in that list to disprove the second half of the quote. Like there's literally a genocide going on right now and both the parties committing genocide are capitalists, but... yeah I don't even know how to engage with this level of head-empty-diamond-hands-stronk
Pffft. They have done over 10 billion net in the past couple years. High ROE. They have a big, durable competitive advantage with their buying process v other companies (just go through the buying process across a number of car types). They have a big competitive advantage in staff capabilities, also in the ability to actually produce software.

Elon is no dummy. He targeted fat tired old industries to attack. It was brilliant. He now faces possibly the weakest competition in large business.

Suggesting it's worth less than $55 billion is silly.
Can AI Get an Oscar?
Cosine similarity is certainly not immune to the curse of dimensionality. In fact, it is explicitly prone to it. As dimensions increase, the likelihood that any two tensors are orthogonal rapidly increases. This is easy to reason out if you start from 2 dimensions, count the number of orthogonal vectors, and then move to 3D, and so on.
So sorry to hear dear friends
Instead of building the whole car, they could do what they are doing with AppleTV.

With AppleTV Apple lets others take care of the bulky (and probably low margin) hardware and focus on the content and intelligence. For me the TV is now just a dumb screen, everything comes from the AppleTV.
I had such a great company social night, talking with an engineer who got his start here ~5 year ago.

They were taking about how they just want people to have a well formed idea of what to build, to be able to hand off clear expectations, and let him roll. For curiosity sake I started asking about other times: has there been a time where you've felt on the line, been the one who has to figure out what to do?

They paused for a bit & then said yeah, actually... They had been battlefield promoted after two higher ups on a team had left & it was just them running this product. They said they had little idea what they were doing but the company trusted them & let them hack through it. They loved that time. Finding out what to doz being given problems and the freedom to solve it was a highlight of their life, they said.

A lot of people don't want to play the game. Especially when we are forced to collaborate with non-technicals, it's incredibly hard to justify and explain ourselves & to share power & compromise with these people who lack competency to judge, assess, negotiate.

The title here omits the gods truth as an option: we the engineers know & can assess & you the business/product don't have the technical chops to debate, nor do you understand what is to be built. The premise presented is "debate vs do" as they say it, as though product and product alone understands do. But I think most engineers live in pain and dissonance and sadness, feel an incredible impedance and struggle, because most businesses/product have only the faintest fragmentary fake propped idea of what do is. It's a fiction. And it's up to engineers to cobble together some vaguely competent rendition of the fairy tale nonsense product tells itself it's come up with and that engineers need to just do.

The phrasing here could not be more slanted. Run, engineer, run, from the dented terrors that would think their product sensibilities have fully flushed out the idea, that think there is no cause for "debate" or sussing out how really to do a things that think only to "do" what the master product says is necessary.

Was wondering the same. This wasn't like the Jim Crow south or something similar, El Paso has been Hispanic majority for a long time. 69% in 1990, according to Wikipedia.

Having a chatbot for communication with customers is much cheaper than having a real person for handling support. However, companies should make it easy for customers to reach out to a real person as well for issues related to technicalities and all.
It does feel like Linux sleep is nearly impossible to do well. My go-to example of jaw-dropping, industry-leading Linux hardware support is the Steam Deck. They deserve lots of praise for the monumental effort and achievement to make that product work as well as it does. The sleep functionality is trash though, even after they put a ton of work in.

It’s excellent in that I can suspend any software and have it come back to life exactly the way I expect (no small feat!) and it’s excellent that it never cooks itself when unattended in a case or bag, but it is total trash that it eats 20-30% battery a day while “off”. That’s not a bug, but expected behavior. It’s just not what I have come to expect from a modern computer, and portable Macs haven’t behaved that way since about 2005.
I don't think consensus-building is necessarily bad on it's own. Depending on the environment, when people don't feel like they have an opportunity contribute, it can potentially lead to other issues.

To your point, I think a lack of leadership can kill a consensus-building process. Whoever is coordinating needs the authority and will to end the discussion when the time is right (among other things.) Otherwise, it really can become endless debate and drawn out attempts to get some unwilling party onboard.
Note that the simulation is only for Germany. If you add other countries to the grid, there will be less no solar-no wind days.

But also peaking gas plants are not that bad. We should dream about a zero emission scenary, but a 90% less emissions is not bad either, and we can always get better and better. This is, in fact, the current trend: each month is cleaner than the last.
The problem is that it takes a single piece of code compiled with -ffast-math to break everything, it's simply not worth it
