Interesting idea (very out of scope):

CPUs go into motherboards which use power supplies and RAM and a storage device to boot and run operating systems/code

This all adds up once plugged in to "at the wall" power pull (basically measured in watts per hour * 24 hours = how many kilowatts a day)

Then, you take how efficient the hardware is at say, a proof-of-work mining algorithm (hashrate)

Then you can sort by which CPUs are most efficient

I've yet to find a database that does this (probably for good reason, mining is pretty dumb)
Overflow is fine if you're aware of it and have code that either doesn't need to care about it, or can work around it.

Consider protocols with wrapping sequence numbers. Pretty common in the wild. If I increment my 32-bit sequence counter and it goes from 2^32-1 back to 0, that's likely just expected behavior.
Summary: Fuselage was delivered to Boeing with some damaged rivets near the door plug. They had to remove the door plug to fix the rivets. Then they reattached the door plug but forgot to reattach the 4 bolts that would keep it in place. Possibly because of a shift change at the plant.

There was noticeable damage to the door plug's mechanical fittings from the violence of it being blown out of the plane. But the holes where the bolts belonged were pristine. That would not have been true if the holes had had bolts in them.
Alas, it's not well defined for signed integers in C (and C++) which are still popular languages.

>Every month of delay was a month people could find other alternatives

I always find it weird when people apply the product logic to what is an ecosystem / network / protocol. If BlueSky, mastodon or any other combination of open systems succeeds it's going to be like Linux. Slowly eating proprietary systems inside out, simultaneously while the old stuff keeps being around.

Inherent to the entire logic of decentralization is that people switching to alternatives is not bad. That there's bridges between loosely coupled networks. If people treat BlueSky just like 'an app' that needs to be timed like an iphone launch that suggests people are missing what the alternative to closed platforms is about.
Why do you care about the two degrees of separation ?

The people posting hate speech already get in legal trouble.

And the websites hosting that can eventually get in trouble too (if they can't show that they did due diligence / were sufficiently close to a "common carrier" status).

And if it gets bad enough (typically if these fist two categories violate a bunch of other laws), their funding might get investigated too. Money flows for that kind of use typically fairly easy to track, as long as law enforcement actually bothers to.
> I'm not entirely sure why driving a tank across a border is materially different to "driving code" across a digital border.

Cyberattacks are much more analogous to traditional episonage than acts of war. States don't regard episonage as acts of war because it's something engaged in by all sides and which literally happens all the time, unlike tanks rolling across the border.

Politicians of course like to pretend otherwise ... I was reminded of this, shall we say, breath-taking question I saw Rep. Haley Stevens asking recently on cspan :)

It seems a bit philosophical to me though, what came first, the music or the maths?

We can use mathematics to describe the theory behind music but the theory isn't the music itself, nor are the instruments, "mathematical".

When a great performer plays live, they're not generally perfectly reproducing what's written in the musical notation either.

Probably not a straightforward thing to argue about, as I said, I think it's mostly a matter of viewpoints.
Thank you for your perspective. I have held similar beliefs so far and that's why a decision to pursue a masters is not an easy one for me. The problem that I am running into is that I don't get to work on ML projects because I have no background and experience in ML and hence I am stuck in this cold start. I am still unsure if MS would actually fix that.
Thank you for the excellent article! Top notch work!
I feel very similar to your experience.

What made me stay in go is its amazingly unified build toolchain. The things you can do with go:embed and go:generate blow my mind in every other project.

I was going to post on HN not long ago and didn't, about how I still can't find a great event chain handling / bubbling model that lets me use both DOM members and abstract class instances to trigger interchangeable events. I've built my own event dispatchers here and there, but jQuery just does everything right. Although event handling is almost the only thing I still use jQuery for, it's so useful that I still include it in almost every client-side project. The reason I was going to post was to ask if anyone knew of a slim library that could both $(window).trigger('click') and $(myClassInstance).trigger('myCustomEvent',{data}) with the same API for listening to either one asynchronously. With the rise of fetch() and css selectors I could probably do without the rest of jQuery at this point. But why reinvent the wheel? And before anyone tells me that having class instances dispatch events is a code smell... it's absolutely necessary if you want to build responsive frameworks from scratch.

[Just for example, my base component class listens for a particular custom resize event dispatched from the screen that contains it, which only dispatches to components on screens that don't scroll and need to reformat their contents. The screen class listens for window.resize but only dispatches if it's in trouble with the layout. Putting individual DOM resize listeners to window on each and every component would be insane.]
Fine-Tuning or Retrieval – Microsoft
Our findings reveal that while unsupervised
fine-tuning offers some improvement,
RAG consistently outperforms it, both for existing
knowledge encountered during training and
entirely new knowledge. Moreover, we find that
LLMs struggle to learn new factual information
through unsupervised fine-tuning, and that exposing
them to numerous variations of the same fact
during training could alleviate this problem.
Interestingly, in the years before the US managed to do more about their CO2 emissions than Europe. That's because thanks to fracking the US move a large share of their energy generation towards natural gas, which burns 'cleaner' than oil and coal. The EU has (almost?) no fracking.

And in an even greater tragedy: the Germans had turned their back on almost emission free nuclear power, and in practice had turned towards very dirty coal.
But that’s free. So what did they acquire then? Logins?
WeWork succeeded ? What ?
There are almost no circumstances where a crash in production code is preferable.

Can you imagine working on a complicated Excel document when you run into a 2038 bug and you lose all your work instead of just having one of your future dates calculated as being in the 1970s?

Or flying a plane and the system has to reboot midair instead of saying you're at -32768 feet of altitude?

Or there are now 2.15 billion virus definitions, so your entire security suite just stops running?

Or your Tesla stops keeping you in your lane without warning because your odometer turned over?

Most things are not Therac-25. Much more software is protecting us and our data than is exposing us to danger. Loss of data, loss of navigation, loss of safety systems or life support... simply unacceptable. Turn on -ftrapv when testing and especially when fuzzing, sure, but production code should almost always be built with -fwrapv.
People started companies and succeeded for dumber reasons. Generalized "businessing" skills and placing yourself somewhere in the space where money is made counts for much more than actually knowing anything about specific product beforehand.
Saying genes are not the blueprint for life is for me like saying “physics can not predict our life”. It cannot but everybody knows physics is the foundation of our universe. However, our world is ways to complex to use physics laws to predict all aspects of it. Stochastic is the intrinsic nature of every complex system.
These are sane limitations. They should be understood in the same way as basic health axioms. Digital gluttony has been normalized.
Yes. See: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/precision-medicine

But I'm not being absolutely critical since I'm only viewing from the sidelines and perhaps there is still something important to be gained correlating genetics with disease for cases where there is little hope of a standard diagnosis.

Have always gone up expect for when they haven't. Nationally, real estate prices dropped precipitously in the early 1980s. And the Toronto housing crash of 1989 was a complete meltdown. It took until the 2010s for prices to finally return to where they were in 1989!

Data scientists with a strong software engineering background , where are they hiding?

Jokes apart there used to be two categories of data scientists, those that came from a science/phd background where they duct taped their mathematical understanding to code which might work in production, and those those that come from a CS background that duct taped their mathematical/medium tutorial knowledge to an extravaganza of grid search and micro-services that made unscientific predictions in a scalable way.

So now we have the ml engineer (engineer) and the data scientist (science) with clear roles and expectations. Both are full time jobs, most people cannot to both.

PiHole supports Conditional forwarding
You can build an image with docker, and run it locally.

You can also use docker save to get a tarball and ship that file to another machine, which can be run through docker load and then run as if it was built locally.

I think it's weird when people suggest that a self-hosted on-prem solution requires no maintenance and has so little downtime such that the time spent fixing issues doesn't matter.

I run a bunch of local services on RPis and a decade-old Mac Mini. I love having the control over things, but I don't pretend I don't spend a decent amount of time maintaining it. I only run things that don't need to be highly available, so something like Pi-Hole is off the table. The last thing I want is for our DNS to go out while I'm sleeping, and my partner has to wake me up because she has work to do.

You mention SD card corruption as the only reason why a RPi-based service might fail, but there are plenty of others: botched updates, random hardware failures, power supply issues, and likely other things I'm not thinking of.

And even if a Pi-Hole can keep three nines of uptime (I'm skeptical of this claim), many people will find significant value in giving someone else money so they don't even have to think about digging into fix a problem for the rare occasion it happens. Suggesting that a particular home-hosted solution is "unbeatable" is meaningless; "unbeatable" in this case is a subjective measure, and other people will value different things than you do.
That sounds like a social problem, not a technical problem.
It doesn’t matter. The way it’s set up now, you can actually ask it to look up real information with sources linked.
I subscribed + configured my router to use NextDNS years ago so ads + trackers are blocked on my IoT devices. More recently, I inherited a MacBook and now an iPhone and naturally enabled their built-in blocking capabilities. I think I assumed two blockers are better than one but now I just leave Apple's IP limiting features off and let NextDNS do its thing but it just feels weird to deliberately turn off a privacy feature.
Maybe it will teach them critical thinking.

The only "documentation" we have is in the form of the binary utility docs, which has a list of SASS instructions

- Discourse in replies became noticeably worse as low-quality replies were brought to the top because the poster had paid for “verification”, when most of these posts would probably have been (and rightly so) under the ‘more replies’ section before due to how low-quality they were.

Thank you so much writing such a detailed response. I concur with a lot of what you said. I too felt that academic papers are usually a bit idealistic for real world applications, but at the same time thought that formal courses would help me build a good foundation of what type of models are there.

I am curious where do you find opportunities to volunteer for AI/ML projects, besides starting them on your own.

The culture at FAANG has been quite similar to how your described your company. Until now I've never felt that degree was even a factor at job and may be it still isn't and what I experienced was just some initial resistance from people for whom this is a very unfamiliar territory.
A year or two I was browsing the Pitchfork "best songs of the 10's" and was rather confused that "This is America" wasn't on it. A long running feud explains it.

It’s pretty solid on well understood facts, physics, mathematics. It’s not so good at problem solving, it’s pretty good at code in some languages but it others. It’s quite good at translation in a number of languages. It’s great and fictional writing in any particular style.

Nice! I get emails from Meetup with subject texts like "You're the organisator [that this and that Meetup needs]" and every time I open that email to find out what the complete sentence is and am a little bit relieved to find out I'm not an organisator of something by accident. It's on the edge, but not over it. Smart marketing from Meetup.

I honestly do not fault Europe for not pursuing fracking. If you haven't spent much time over here it's not easy as an American to appreciate just how little "empty space" there is on the continent. There is really no where that doesn't impact communities of people. The us can easily afford to basically throw a few little towns in Oklahoma under the bus and no one really notices or cares. That's just possible here. Too many damned humans, and too many teetering systems.
Could you imagine the outcry if a fracking induced earthquake took down a 13th century church someplace? No one wants that.
I've had many discussions with non-technical people, teachers, engineers, academics and researchers on the topic of education and AI. The conversation often starts with me asking this question:

In a future where every person has an all-knowing assistance in their pocket --a nearly perfect AI who knows it all-- what should we teach in schools, from early childhood to university?

The corollary to that question is:

When that happens, what will be important in people? How do people add value to an organization?

The answers are, as might be expected, varied.

Some are dismissive. They simply do not believe that moment will come or that it will be as described. That it cannot be as described.

Others are more apocalyptic and come very close to being fearful of this future.

Yet another group is glad they are older and will get to watch this happen while retired.

In some cases there's a struggle understanding how to teach certain subjects, mathematics being a typical example. If you have a device that can solve any and all mathematical problems --and even explain them-- what do you need to know about math?

My take so far --I say "so far" because this doesn't even approach a supportable conclusion-- is that the differentiating factor will be experience and the ability to effectively connect, or use, multidisciplinary knowledge.

Maybe I look at this from an entrepreneurial perspective. A small experienced team will be able to rent or buy thousands of experts and workers across every possible discipline and, using their experience, put them to work towards a stated objective. A person who is "mono-skilled" (I'm sure that's not a term), will not be able to utilize these tools to the same level of advantage.

And, yes, I think you will have to know a lot about a lot of subjects. That's the only way to understand if the AI tools and workers are rowing in the right direction. How we impart this knowledge is a different matter.

One thing is certain, education will have to change radically to address the devaluation of raw knowledge in favor of being able to take different types of knowledge lego blocks to make things happen.

The article discusses one incident of person with Canadian tax residency with multiple mortgages, where the leaker allege is typical, when number of net worth assessments in low double digit per year suggest it's not typical. Not with 30k new Chinese Canadian immigrants per year, or 150k home sales in Ontario. From my experience (I know many people who facilitate this process in ON/BC) PRC buyers typically are not renters / airbnbers, they either live in their units part time / full time (or their kids) or leave it empty. Renting/slumlording/airbnbing is largely Chinese _Canadian_ affair, emphasis on Canadian, i.e. not wealthy, middle class who needs to make their capital work to cover costs. They speak mandarin and can insert themselves into the machine. Generally PRC buyers / big bidders aren't playing the RE game in Canada to play landlord. They just want to hide some of their assets abroad. The allegation kind of skips over that distinction, are these "diaspora" PRC individuals or Chinese-Canadians with access to PRC RE networks doing ponzi mortgages to try to get wealthy off Canadian RE. In my experience, it's the Chinese Canadians, because the PRC buyers were busy speculating off much more profitable (at the time) PRC RE, especially if whistleblower is talking about 2015-now time period.
