I suspect the real pain is because someone bolted on cross compilation support after the project was developed. If they started that way from the beginning, it would be straightforward.

In ancient times, people were more focused on compiling for their current platform, not a different one.

The rise of Linux on embedded devices changed things. Embedded devices are not just simple microcontrollers running bespoke code. For example, today nobody wants to run their Linux build system on a Raspberry PI utilizing an SD card for storage!!
I never claimed that my project in its current form is a drop-in replacement for Postgres or even SQLite. It still lacks many features that those databases have accumulated over decades of development by large communities.

It is not just an in-memory DB. All its data is persisted on disk and I made sure whenever I did a benchmark on any query; that I was doing an apples-to-apples comparison.

Even though the beta consists of a Windows executable; there is nothing Windows specific about it. It is built to be cross-platform and it has been tested on Linux. With my small team, we just maintain a single platform at the moment for simplicity sake.

We have not yet open-sourced the code as you pointed out; but we have considered it. But if everyone just wants to dismiss it out of hand because it fails to check some box and just focuses on what it can't do, instead of what it does well; then there might not be any point in doing so.
Nimbius, you sound like you work for a Cloudflare competitor.

No competitors were mentioned in Cloudflares article, they explained what kind of information was breached, nothing to do with payment/card info... so I doubt you even read past the first few paragraphs/conclusion.

I always figured the most marginal of taxes would make it economically unviable.

If you charged a nickel to complete a call, the Water and Power Department can at worst, slip a $1 fee into a bill to build up a fund to pay for emergency outage calls. (Hopefully, they don't intend to call each customer more than 20 times per month).

But any industry based on spray-and-pray and miniscule take rates will find it too expensive to play.
More importantly, how did they know that and how did they get access to it. Also imagine what would have (not) happened if he didn't talk to the FBI, AND lie to them

No math, no code, no data, nothing resembling a formal description of the supposed "AGI" as far as I can tell.
Per my other reply, i am curious about the content of article and how (formerly) prominent biologists have been affected and punished. The story about carol hooven, the former harvard scientist, was especially disheartening.

richard dawkins was no creationist either. the article mentions how his award was taken away for stating his opinion. Any thoughts on that?
Absolutely.

Right now the ecosystem of research drugs is large, easy to access and completely unregulated. And there is a huge incentive mechanism because you could be the one to find the next EPO and thus have a major advantage over your competitors.

Of course the problem is that the risk of issues is significantly higher because they simply aren't tested especially longitudinally.
1963+50 = 2013. Give VR google adoption rate and 10% of weekly user among those who own them, I'd say he was more than 70 years too soon at least.
But it also makes tracking much easier, right?
I didn't know it had apparently shutdown, so my reaction was a bit more "Really, that's still going?"

I went once or twice last decade when I was attending a lot of events and it seemed pretty unfocused and mostly memorable because it had a lot of history and I had never been. Don't remember what I spoke about but it was certainly not networking.
That's like really bad, long term is there a risk of lung tissue fibrosis? I would expect it. I have the resmed but honestly I think a dental appliance might be better.
They also got approval for another $50b in buybacks. They're just using multiple avenues of getting money back to investors.
Some public CAs do. Google Public CA issues certs for IP SANs with 10d validity. I think ZeroSSL and SSL.com do to but not ISRG last time I checked.
I have a pitch for a new LLM that will read your tweet before you send it and warn you if it is offensive. $1000/month, half off if you’re a CEO.
I am surprised a 737 is only 100k lbs, I would have assumed like 250k. A blue whale weighs significantly more.
What's wrong with that? It's not like it's ever going to go back to a "web document" only delivery mechanism, so might as well make it very very good at doing what it is already used for
>The FDA said that since April 2021 it has received more than 116,000 medical device reports of foam breaking down in Philips CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines and BiPAP sleep therapy devices

If I'm doing the math correctly...they are settling for $400 million...that's only~$3500 per complaint...that's not much money by any means...for a product that can cause cancer.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Prosecuting and imprisoning the criminals is a necessary (though not sufficient, I agree) component of this.

I'm not at all a fan of this commit message. The summary line is vague (what template? what error?) and then the body spends 250 words explaining all the steps it took to get to this fix. What is this, a recipe on the web?

The commit message should explain the change being made, what impact it will have, and why it is being made. The audience is the developers reviewing the change or someone looking through the logs to determine why this line changed.
My understanding of string theory is that even if you understand it as a tool for mathematical formalism, it's actually not all that effective. Not that quantum field theories are all that easy to work with, but my understanding is that their string theoretic counterparts are downright intractable.

It's kind of interesting when you actually take a closer look at the PR of string theory. There's lots of bombast about it being a candidate--the strongest candidate--for a theory of everything, but when you try to actually press for what that theory of everything, it ends up being "well, we don't actually have one yet."

To answer your "why" question more directly: string theorists themselves have been very loudly proclaiming for decades that they are the One True Path™ to a theory of everything. This isn't coming from incredulous science journalists trying to summarize a hot field of study for the general public, this is the messaging from the leading researchers themselves, and they've been doing it long enough that a knowledge of its existence and its role in the theory of everything is firmly embedded in public consciousness, even if all details beyond "tiny strings" and "something something extra dimensions" are stripped out. So we should hold the field to its own standard of why it should exist.
Do you plan on offering US based positions at any time?
Some of my favourite social media content comes from unsuccessful under your terms producers. It's adding a great amount to the culture and is producing some economic value. Failed musicians become teachers with experience. Failed pro football player might be a college grad because of football.
>Many law firms that represent shareholders keep a stable of investors they can work with to bring cases, says Eric Talley, who teaches corporate law at Columbia Law School. They might be pension funds with a broad range of stock holdings but they are also often individuals like Tornetta.

So a law firm that represents a large Investor or Group used this guy to sue Musk....That's interesting...
If that were true, so what? That would be by my calculations 611,793,750 dollars a year for American Airlines Group (6700 flights/day, 250 dollars a ticket). While that is significantly less than their operating income, it's significantly more than their net income.

It does explain it, in the second, third paragraphs:

Despite the typical complaints about "X new thing harming the environment!!!", LLMs are as friendly as it gets, it

1. Consumes a minor amount of electricity (Data centers is only 2% of US electricity use, and currently AI is maybe only 5-10% of that). Its trivial compared to say metal smelting.

2. Consume water for cooling.

That's it, there is 0 direct pollution generated from AI, and even the water use is very minor compared to say farming, and can be improved via more water efficient cooling techs.

The main concern is the scaling speed. As LLMs scale up 10x, 100x, 1000x, those previously very minor electricity costs can quickly become grid impacting in a decade.
I assume that is a result of the need for the 737 to fly and for it to be as light as possible. The whale has no such constraint.
A university with that much money really should not be taking tax dollars.

It's he serious or just trolling us with an elaborate joke? I can't even tell.
His credentials indicate that it may be possible that his arguments are based on data while your credentials and evidence indicate personal, anecdotal experience. Therefore I would trust his reasoning more. Additionally, I personally identify with it.

I mean a git developer finds git easy to use? That's biased data.

I love how both of you dropped your street cred before launching into your reasoning. It just shows how much more credentials convinces people rather then the argument itself. Normally that stuff logically doesn't matter and people are just doing it to grab some "authoritah" but in this case your backgrounds actually contributed to the arguments.
Ok, so I discovered the Zombatmobile 2.0, then the Zombatmobile 3.0, then the 4.0, and let's just say now we're at the Zombatmobile 1000000000.
I have a story like this.

My first job out of engineering school was working for Dr. Robert Jarvik, of artificial heart fame.

He has a patent where there is a drawing of a person, on a treadmill, with cables tied to each joint. The idea is it's a virtual reality exercise setup. A Nintendo wii or kinect before sensors were any good.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US5577981A/en?q=(exercise)...
The old Chromecast (without Google TV) also plays much fewer ads for YouTube. I'm holding on to mine.
These had nothing to do with VR. It was only allegedly able to be used for showing steroscopic video, like a stereoscope. It was not capable of showing a virtual reality to the user where they were present in it. It's hard to find any actual information about this device as the articles that refer to this don't cite their sources and probably just copied the information off of each other. There is no evidence that this actually worked and there is no mention of using lenses to make it possible to focus on the displays and then claim that it worked using small batteries leaves me skepticle. Not to even mention the weight this would be. I would be fairly confident to say this mock up was nonfunctional and was just an art project.

Edit: The source is page 79 of this life magazine https://archive.org/details/LifeV55n0419630726 Reading this makes it clear this was purely a mockup of an idea he had and not a functional device.

>Sex has not distracted him in the slightest, however, from his lifelong interest in electronic gadgetry and in the new horizons being opened by the advance of more orthodox scientific knowledge. Neither has it inhibited his bent for invention on those occasions when he feels that duty and circumstance demand it —although he now invents only in broad outline, leaving the actual mechanics of the thing to others. His television eyeglasses —a device for which he feels millions yearn— constitute a ease in point

>When the idea for this handy, pocket-size portable TV set occurred to him in 1936, he was forced to dismiss it as impractical. But a few weeks ago, feeling that the electronics industry was catching up with his New Deal-era concepts, he ordered some of his employees to build a mock-up.

>"It is now perfectly possible to make thin, inch-square cathode lubes," he says, and to run them with low-voltage current from very small batteries with no danger at all of electrocuting the wearer. Sound can carried to the ear just as in a hearing aid. Television eyeglasses should weigh only about five ounces. Since there will be a picture for each eye, the glasses will make a stereoptical view possible and since they will be masked —like goggles— they can be used in bright sunlight. The user can take them out of his pocket anywhere, slip them on, flip a switch and turn to his favorite station." A V-type aerial protrudes from the top of Gernsback’s mock-up of the TV glasses. He likes the effect which can only he described as neo-Martian.
you're not far off the mark

Big and bulky wasn't really the problem, price was.
Size/weight isn't an issue with a car-based phone, the fact that the phone was prices as much as a car is.
The complicated journey toward a list of all life on Earth
This is the problem, 100%. The fact that Google isn't optimizing, or even building Google Maps for its users anymore - but checking the GenAI box showcases the internal shift from engineering led management to KPI driven management. From an outsiders perspective it seems like Sundar is fine with telling everyone in Google: "Your objective is - take this square peg and shove it everywhere".

I don't want GenAI in all of Google's ecosystem. I've already taken broad steps to de-Google many other important things. I guess my next step is to protect myself from Google and go fully back into the alternate Android ecosystem. Thankfully I have a secondary phone that I've been running Graphene on for the last year. Maybe Google's misdirected "everything GenAI" master plan is enough of a catalyst to push folks that have been dabbling on the edge to completely abandon Google.

The piece that really pisses me off, however is to see the head first dive into the shallow end with all of this garbage in Google's AI for the Education space [0]. Kids do not need to be subject to this impending trainwreck.

Hi, I'm Michael, developer / sysadmin with experience working at a startup and in consulting for 7+ years. I have a lot of experience working through challenging problems and putting together solutions. While my experience is mostly back-end related I've been trending more full-stack recently, although I also have experience related to DevOps, data science and some web3. I'm pretty fearless about jumping into new and unknown domains, love learning and I take pride in quickly writing code that solves my customers problems.

Hit me up if you're interested, and if you're based in New York I'm happy to meet for coffee.
There are also a lot of visual artists who dabble in programming, and vice versa. Programming is an incredibly creative activity so I can see why there is overlap.
> A commit is required to have a bug id. The bug tracker has entire discussions of what lead to the commit

Companies do change bug trackers and ticketing systems and those links may no longer work years down the line.

> The bug tracker has entire discussions of what lead to the commit so it's not clear to me that a detailed commit message is a plus when the real detailed info is in the tracker. Yes it's indirect but there's no way I'm going to summarize the entire issue discussion.

But summarizing it can be one of the most valuable things you can do for a maintainer who has to make changes years after you've moved on. For one thing, the problem and discussion is fresh in your mind and you understand the context. In a few minutes, you could summarize the problem, the approach taken to fix it and alternatives that were considered but not used because the chosen solution clearly didn't have an issue/was more efficient, etc.

Even if you didn't want to do that, you could just copy and paste the entire discussion text at the end of the commit message so that even if the bug tracker is no longer in use in the future, the discussion itself was preserved in the commit history and accessible via git log or blame.
I've done some research, I don't have a probability but from what I've found. A Falcon 9 shortly before stage 1 separation is around 50km altitude[0] doing ~2000 m/s. Preseperation the F9 is 70m tall, add 130m for plume[1] so 200m total. At 2000 m/s it'll cover it's own length and plume in 100ms. If the laser link is running at 100 Gbps that's 10Gb of data lost.

Which is actually a lot more then I estimated when I started this math, kinda puts into perspective more then 1 of the scales at play here.

Tl;dr Rockets are fast, data is apparently faster.

5+ years in the industry so far. My primary focus in that time was Python work and some C for more performance-focused parts of our codebase. Outside of my professional life, I spend a lot of time exploring various technologies around web and game development, working on websites and games that spring into my head.

While most of my experience is in internal tooling and testing, I'm open to anything that comes with interesting problems to solve. I consider myself a fast learner and having a puzzle of sorts in front of me absolutely helps drive that.

Players in the leagues with caps are in a union. In exchange for the salary cap in question, they have things like minimum salaries, health benefits, guarantees about their working conditions, etc.

If you could guarantee that you and your colleague's salaries represented 50% of the revenue that the company collects, you would be in a much better place than many companies without a cap. If you and your colleague's could guarantee minimum salaries that can't be changed, you'd be in a good place. If you could guarantee working hours and conditions, you'd be in a good place.

Now, are there downsides? Absolutely! But those are the tradeoffs of union labor.

So that's almost a quarter. Does that include social security and medicare?

Now what about property taxes (or your landlords property taxes if that's the case, which just goes onto your rent)? Sales taxes? Gas taxes? Alcohol and cigarette taxes? Any of 100 other taxes?

If you aren't brave enough to take on the tax code yourself, how much do you have to waste on accounting services so you don't wind up making a mistake that costs you even more?

Beyond that, what about all the taxes that come indirectly to you through the prices of everything you buy?

And while not technically a tax, every dollar you make is slowly eroded away by inflation.
