"We actually made a map of the country, on the scale of a mile to the mile!"

"Have you used it much?" I enquired.

"It has never been spread out, yet," said Mein Herr: "the farmers objected: they said it would cover the whole country, and shut out the sunlight ! So we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."

Having just recently dealt with GoDaddy support, I can tell you that it all seems to be outsourced elsewhere. Their agent had absolutely no idea what they were talking about and only seemed to be interested in getting rid of me as quickly as they can.

I ended up solving my issue by inspecting HTTP requests in the dev. console, to find out the error their backend emitted and their frontend wouldn't show.
Would you say that GPT-4 can reason now? I am not convinced this is case, it seems like it has just become more consistent at providing us with an output that we consider reasonable because it was engineered precisely to do that.

For my high-school civics class final project, I wrote a 2d-scroller on the TRS-80 in assembler. The game was a map of the high school, and you had to avoid the "losers," "socs," and teachers, and steal supplies from various classrooms, culminating in stealing stuff from the chemistry labs and blowing up the school.

Obviously, 198x was a different time.

I got an A on the assignment.

The C-style of OO, that is a struct of callbacks, takes a very tree-shaped execution graph of a single entry point and grafts on other random trees from who knows where. Extremely helpful when it’s helpful but a nightmare to debug when it’s not.

“Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.” ~Dijkstra probably?
Wouldn’t it be a huge overkill to run your own temporal or airflow instances just to run your cron jobs? Just curious.

This unfortunately happened pretty often pre-pandemic/in-office. The majority of the teams I've worked on across a few companies have had one or more donothings. The bigger the team, the more unfocused management, the more likely to hang on.
I haven't tried the Q3 yet as I'm still pretty happy with my Q2. I just use it for FitXR and BeatSaber, about 40-60 minutes a day, and I've never experienced motion sickness. Do you have a lot of places to run around where you use it? I just never had the space to try that out (also why I can't play Thrill of the Fight). Also, both FitXR and BeatSaber are stationary games where the cues fly to you and the most motion is ducking or twisting under something. I'm hoping this is not a new issue with the Q3...I'm guessing its just me being addicted to Beat Saber.

A ProVision doesn't really satisfy my use case (like 70% of what I expect from the Quest 2), but I wonder how it compared display wise.
Because the effects of my actions in this case have yet to be demonstrated, let alone shown to cause harm. The author claims there is expoititive harm to labor, the environment, and maybe others. That is not at all obvious or provably true yet. As I said, I'm open to the discussion, but I can't defend myself in good faith when people claim some slam dunk moral certitude. Again, don't use generative AI if it makes you feel bad, but there is absolutely nothing clear cut yet about this radically brand new technology.

The problem with block chains is you need the entire history, or at least a good chunk of it to walk it for data. The latest end of the chain doesn't contain everything, it simply contains the most recent transactions.

This can be hundreds of gigabytes if not more at scale.

This is where the central authority comes in play, in the name of storage and performance efficiency.

Even crypto wallet apps use third party central servers to query your wallet totals. Because you aren't fitting the download of the block chain on your phone.
Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself", in one of the most famous books of poetry ever (responding to the other commenter), Leaves of Grass. I don't know that Whitman meant to talk about science, but whether he was conscious of it or not, he is! I came across the poem (again) recently and immediately saw that section for what it is - to me. Much of the poem is about sex and a free spirit - so, science as sex? The sex of science? :)

Bulldozer was contemporary with Sandy Bridge, not Skylake. Piledriver competed with Ivy Bridge and Haswell. The next Construction cores (Steamroller and Excavator) were only found in APUs, and not in desktop FX parts. Around the time of Skylake, AMD didn't have a meaningful presence in the desktop space. All they were selling was quad-core APUs based on minor revisions of Bulldozer, and the highly outdated FX-x3xx Piledrivers.

Well, I suck at interviewing and/or leetcode questions, but have so far done perfectly fine in any actual position.

I can totally see how you’d resort to ChatGPT to give the interviewers their desired robotic answers after 3 months of failing to pass an interview the conventional way.
Just because I can’t recite rabin-karp off the top of my head or some suffix tree with LCA shit for some leetcode question about palindromes doesn’t mean I’m unqualified to do the work of an engineer.

People act as if we are drowning in War and Peace level masterpieces that AI is going to displace.

There is absolutely nothing going on culturally.

"I am not into all this derivative AI crap. I like the creativity of humans. Do you want to go see Spiderman part 37 or Superman part 22 this weekend?"

We are already a culture that has been displaced by completely uncreative, derivative art and useless gadget making for cash. Maybe someone you can even sell their useless gadget so they can afford to go to some other place and culture full time.

AI is the only hope I have left for this culture.

> Immer must have auto-freeze enabled by default(Performance will be worse if auto-freeze is disabled), such immutable state with Immer is not common. In scenarios such as cross-processing, remote data transfer, etc., we have to constantly freeze these immutable data.

Also compared to native spread operation(naive handcrafted reducer):

Fair, tho a load bearing cronjob pet at the beating heart of a $20bn company with 30m+ users is further than I would dare take this advice if I had to carry the pager.

> I enjoyed writing ARCTIC ADVENTURE and cashing my check. But I never got a copy of the book or any feedback from my audience...

This was my experience also, I wrote a few games about the same time and sold them through computer magazines, but there was no feedback or contact with anyone that ever played them.

A few years ago I was contacted by a person looking for permission to re-write one of my old games for colecovision and it really was an amazing experience to finally get some concrete feedback that someone had actually played my game and enjoyed it.
Comcast was the only available provider at a home I rented years ago. The router arrived and I set it up, only to find that the WiFi range was (literally) a couple of feet a most. The antenna must not have been connected right internally.

Comcast Support's response? This must be because I am not on their higher priced plan. You can get faster speeds and longer range if you upgrade! The guy on the phone refused to believe that something could be wrong with this particular router.

Ended up going to a local store where the person said it happens a lot, and gave me the "upgraded" router instead.
I had the original Oculus Rift (tethered to a PC), the Oculus Go, the Quest 2 (paid for by my former employer) and now the Quest 3 (employer discount, I work for Meta but on WhatsApp, not Quest), and it’s a huge improvement over the Quest Pro or Quest 2, which is why I got it.

My main use case is watching the 360º spherical panoramas I take with my Ricoh Theta Z1 camera, and possibly some light gaming, although Call of Duty Above and Beyond’s dogged insistence on realistic weapons handling is more of a drag than fun.

>Should we tolerate changes like this?

We aren't being given a choice.

But of course, if you refuse to tolerate AI, much less welcome it with open arms, you're just a small-minded Luddite.
The amount of success she had because of being connected to Brin is absolutely wild. It's literally make-or-break for her success. And her sister, CEO of YouTube?

It's a cliché what we say about connections and success, etc. and so forth. But that WSJ article really hammered how in this case how absolutely tied to connections this company, and her wealth, were, and how luck plays a role. In a business idea people are saying should have been doomed.

People are discussing all sorts of details about the company's business strategy, what they should have done with all the data, whether that data is useless, what they might do with it now, whether they should be allowed to, etc. Someone pointed out the GSK investment which was interesting.

But to me all this is trumped by the human element - how having the right neighbor, or boyfriend, or sister's boyfriend, can propel you to the top with unimaginable wealth. Something worth thinking about as we are on a forum run by a startup network: Given what we have learned here how meritorious is success in Silicon Valley really?
The US may not be able to import the Danish system, but we can at least admit that medical bankruptcy shouldn't be a thing. A surprise $4,000 bill because the anathesiologist at your surgery wasn't covered by your insurance,
as if you had a choice while being wheeled into the OR, really shouldn't be possible if we had a sane system. We don't have to be fine with that. Hearing that Scandinavia works for Scandinavia, or more to the point, it does and it doesn't, is the same as the US. We can look at other systems and compare them to our system and see that some things really aren't working in the US without the other system needing to be 100% perfect with zero downsides.

It's the same thing with China. So what if you can't talk about Tianamen Square? It's not like bringing up January 6th or October 7th is very popular right now. They manage to build infrastructure in ways the US simply can't. There are absolutely problems there too, but those problems don't mean that we can't look at their successes and our failures and wonder if we're coming up short. We should look at their failures and our successes too, but our failures are pretty bad and we need to fix them, regardless of other nations successes and failures.
I'm not really interested in getting into an argument about what amorphous groups believe since it's basically impossible to decide and we are both going to be basing it on our own personal experiences and definitions of who belongs in tha group (although if you think that "all" libertarians agree on literally anything, I can only imagine you haven't actually talked to very many).

But the CATO institute is a particular organization with relatively consistent views. If you can point to it clearly and plainly espousing the views you are talking about, I will be surprised.

What can you do to increase that $600 to $1200 with your available resources (including vacation time) while holding your nose and continuing the day job?

What is the minimum monthly nut to get your family on the ramen plan? Of course you all ain’t gonna eat ramen but get lean and mean.

How many of the aforementioned doublings of revenue do you need to execute before you’ve hit “ramen family” minimum amount? Don’t forget to pay your taxes too.

How much of that $1M/yr do you want to split with investor(s)? With $600/mo currently, the investor is taking all the risk, so how’d you like to give them $800-$900k per year?

You can also see the lasting popularity of 7nm-class nodes in consumer products. For example, RDNA3 uses 5nm for the core parts (GCD), but the peripheral parts (the memory chiplets/MCDs) are built on 6nm, and the monolithic low-end parts (RX 7600) are even fully built on 6nm.

Wow, this is pretty good. My sort of benchmark is a photo of someone holding my sweet little Ollie. Well, he's not so little and he's not mine anymore, but he'll always be my widdle Ollie!

Anyways, GPT4-vision wasn't always able to tell me that he doesn't really look the most comfortable being held, cause that's a lot of gravity pulling him down. Neither was Llava in the past. But with Llava 1.6 34B, it can, with no further questions asked besides "Please describe this image" as the first user message along with the image. So yeah this is really amazing! Its OCR has also definitely improved. Before, it'd just say text is in another language, but now it just shows the text. Can't wait to have a good enough computer to quickly run this locally.

I live in Sweden. We had very little quarantine, other than WFH. Vaccine passes existed but was up to organizers to decide. Our problem is our culture of conformity, we even have a word for it The Law of Jante[1]. This is why we were able to be so lax, because people generally just follow rules and very rarely questions authority. Our people are predisposed to make eachother conform so there's no need for a police state.

I do not focus on the US, the issue was international which only makes it scarier to consider the scale of it. But it was a US program, to do research illegal in the US, and I mainly blame Fauci and Daszak. Daszak was in the team the WHO sent to investigate the lab leak and even mentioned his conflict of interest in an interview before.

While all this was public data, the lab leak was ridiculed, by who? The people who had everything to lose if it was public. Then we're supposed to get the vaccines these same people push on us for the virus they modified to transmit to humans. Yeah fuck off with that bullshit.

And there was 0 discussion about this. We were called crazy, evil and all kinds of words. We were dehumanized, just because we wanted a sane discussion. I'm still waiting for an honest port-mortem of those years.

Don't try to blame China, they're a dictatorship acting like expected. We (as in the west) had people funding and performing the research in charge of our responses. Fauci smirking behind Trump on press conferences disgusts me.

>The reason I broke it down is to make the point that I feel those real world consequences are minuscule enough to the point where it does not matter. Maybe I should have clarified more in my prior post.

I don't disagree with 90% of what you said, I just dont understand what you think the criteria for "mattering" is. What would mattering look like or not? If the question is if Elon's flamboyant behavior has impacted his bank account, I think the answer is clearly yes, to the tune of 10s of billions of dollars.

If the question is if the consequences of his behavior are terminal for his companies, then I think chances are miniscule that any of it will matter. If meaningful consequences would be Elon plagued by regrets and misery, I think the answer is obviously not.
Online or not, my default position is that if the rationale is about protecting kids, I'm against it. I need very strong evidence to change that default. These laws almost never actually protect kids and almost always make life worse in innumerable ways.
