That source is hardly credible now, is it? As far as I'm concerned I'm treating it with the respect it warrants.

> Low-quality sources, but again, it's currently low-quality vs no-quality.

The key is, as you say, low quality sources. It's a bunch of corporate blog posts trying to get clicks perpetuating a myth, just as corethree is so proud of doing.

> It's (IMO) somewhat rude to demand compliance without supporting your position.

I can see that. But, if we agree that an onus is on those who make a claim to support it, I don't think we should consider copying and pasting whatever link comes up first from a google search as supporting it.

The real issue here is that it doesn't particularly make sense to directly compare pigs and dogs like this at all. They have different kinds of intelligence, both of which are still being studying, and both stronger in areas where the other might be weaker or not have a showing at all.

That's why I'm not just providing a single source - because there isn't one, not that wouldn't be as low quality as what corethree provided making me a hypocrite. It's a complex issue that requires explanation and citations from multiple papers, and I didn't see corethree's post as being worthy of the effort that would be required in such a reply.

I will make the final notes that as far as I know we don't have evidence of pigs being self-aware while we do with dogs [0] and no pig has ever accomplished anything even close to what some of the world's smartest dogs have been able to [1][2].

I'm open to the possibility that pigs might be smarter than dogs, but I've seen no compelling evidence to support that claim at all. Just gullible people perpetuating the first thing they read.

I usually return zero values just because its easy, not because its useful. I don't expect the caller to use the return value if err !=nil and haven't heard anything to the contrary on my team. If Go were a more powerful language, we would be returning Either[A,B] not multiple return values, which would guarantee that you rely on one or the other, not some weird in-between case.

to your point about things being worse than they were 10 years ago, in part i agree. the web as a whole has gotten much more bloated and frustrating than it was a decade ago. pages take gobs of bandwidth and memory, everything is in a walled garden or infected with facebook's tentacles. in terms of experience, imo it's really hard to separate the browser from the browsed because the end result is that the experience of using the web in 2024 is downright unpleasant, where it wasn't really before, but i just don't see that as mozilla's fault. i think without mozilla it would be even worse, and it can always get worse...
I will second this. I work for an American company that now routinely outsources to Eastern Europe. Wages are 1/3, most speak English fluently, and the time zone differences aren't really that big of an issue.

It's much different than my experiences outsourcing to Asia around a decade ago. Many pushed for remote work, and the consequence might just be that they are out of a job.

Southern Cali resident here: I got a mini split system installed a couple years back, and last year's eye-popping surprise gas bill inspired me to start running it backward for heat instead of using the furnace.

Pricewise, it's actually a wash. My electric bill went up by about $100 a month, whereas during the winter my gas bill was running about $100 a month to run the furnace (aside from that one random $600 bill one month last year that inspired this change). I've been using the mini split all winter and it's been great.

From his previous post, this guy is clearly a young know-it-all that comes from either a poor or stingy family.

The reality is that he truly has no clue, he just thinks he knows better and he clearly has pretty low standards.
I would say he is the kind that shouldn't have kids because they would probably suffer but he will have them nonetheless and he will rationalise all the corner cutting as something normal even though there is a price paid, he just doesn't know it yet or prefer to deny it.
Price gouging seems like standard practice for HVAC companies.

I'd like to replace my 25+ yr old system (gas furnace/AC) with a new gas furnace & heat pump so I can have the option of heating with gas or electricity... but when I ran this by an HVAC technician who was here for a service call, I got the same kind of exorbitant figures thrown at me with the heat pump in the equation.

Same technician wanted $750 to replace a control board when my furnace had gone out during a blizzard - I sourced my own & did it myself for <$150.

Zero and nil values are almost always bogus. The Go language itself doesn't even respect that proverb: the zero value of a map is not a useful map.

There are some rare cases where a 0 value is actually meaningful in some way. But even for types where it is fully functional like integers, it's often not meaningful in the specific context it is used.

The volume of air that passes through the heat pump must be cooled (or warmed) at the same rate as it is dehumidified, unless humidity control can be done independent of the pump. If you oversize the pump, the house is cooled faster than it is dehumidified, and the air reaches the desired temp before it reaches the desired humidity, and the compressor turns off while the air is still humid.

It's possible to independently add humidity when heating -- using a mist gun -- but not to remove it during cooling. However, if the heat pump has a "dry mode" it can dehumidify without also cooling by switching back and forth between heat and cool mode. If not, to dry the air further, it must cool it further.

I highly doubt it's worth 100k as scrap. The "6 figures" price tag was to replace it. Maybe they have some way to sell this equipment for its original purpose, but if they are selling it for scrap it'll go for a tiny fraction of what it would be worth in working condition.
I didn't even know about the acme1 deprecation until you just now told me. Apparently certbot 0.31.0 handled it fine.

You're right that DNS isn't architecturally analogous to TLS. The way it's analogous is that if the central infrastructure goes away, then people have to do something more technical than usual to get things working again. Yes, using an IP address string in place of a hostname is simpler than setting up an alternate CA, but broadly it's the same idea, a centralized dependency with an inconvenient workaround.
Fair enough, though that goes both ways. Lots of people outside cities, especially NY, will tell you how crazy and dangerous they are, impose very dangerous things on them (such as the drug war), and remove local officials elected by citizens (Kentucky state legislature, Florida DAs, Philadelphia DA, etc.).

My impression is that people in major cities don't care what you do in the suburbs.
Many of the things mentioned are handled at the local/state level in the US, while the military and healthcare regulation are a more national concern.

Congress doesn't carve out that much money to make sure that some kid in rural Missouri actually has what he needs from schooling to compete in the global economy.

This is correct, the Reddit poster(s) in question were discussing how lax Frontier was about Copyright strikes. The movie company presumably wanted to have that person testify about said lax policy in court.

Wow, this is kind of the beginning of the end of these platforms having essentially unlimited immunity from the content they host.

I am of two minds on this - on one hand, do we really want Meta, a knowing producer of wildly attention-addictive products, to be the ones directing public discourse? No. Of course we don’t.

On the other hand, it’s clear Meta and the rest of the platforms are legitimately scared, and are going to wind down anything even slightly problematic, which is a bummer for the free web.

On balance this is probably a net positive for society as a whole, so I’m supportive of this change.
There's no evidence at all that the power can't be transmitted elsewhere. There are high-capacity transmission lines in all directions. A ~600MW wind farm was connected to the grid right at the dam relatively recently.

> I don't expect the caller to use the return value if err !=nil and haven't heard anything to the contrary on my team.

Yet you admit to following the advice for error, returning the zero value for err and making it useful when you do. If you don't have a meaningful error state, why not just return junk? Clearly you recognize the value of making the return values useful, always. Why make exceptions?

For anyone curious this is about a 2023 paper proving that a 2022 theoretical hash table construction achieved not only an upper bound in performance in terms of time and space, the construction also achieved a lower bound. It’s a theoretical construction so not actually a practical one you’d find in your software toolkit (constants are too large for most applications, likely even realistic databases). The referenced “practical” IcebergHT data structure isn’t even one you’d likely encounter as it seems to be a research hash table focusing on persistent memory which isn’t hardware you typically would encounter.
If you're new to this then just download an app like LMStudio (which unfortunately is closed source, but it is free) which basically just uses llama.cpp under the hood. It's simple enough to get started with local LLMs. If you want something open source ollama is probably a good place to look too, it's just a CLI tool but several GUIs integrate with ollama specifically.

As for your bonus question, that is the model you want. In general I'd choose the largest quantized version that you can fit based on your system. I'm personally running the 8bit version on my M3 Max MacBook Pro and it runs great! Performance is unfortunately a loaded word when it comes to LLMs because it can mean tokens per second or it can mean perplexity (i.e. how well the LLM responds). In terms of tokens per second, quantized models usually run a little faster because memory bandwidth is a constraint, so you're moving less memory around. In terms of perplexity there are different quantization strategies that work better and worse. I really don't think there's much of a reason for anyone to use a full 16fp model for inference, you're not really gaining much there. I think most people use the 4bit quants because it's a nice balance. But really it's just a matter of playing with the models and seeing how well it works. For example, some models perform okay when quantized down to 2 bits (I'm shocked that's the case, but I've heard people say that's the case in their testing), but Mixtral is not one of those models.
It's substantially cheaper in energy to cool buildings in the hot parts of the world than it is to heat buildings in the cool parts of the world.

Not just the account but the internet service as well. Even if they get the IP addresses for the reddit posts, and they're Frontier IPs, it's still possible that the person who wrote the post submitted it/logged in/created their account over a loved one's home network.
Rust emits memory barriers that C++ won't. That can result in unnecessary* execution delays in these tight loops, that yes costs a nanosecond or so. In cases where there's no conflict the memory barrier just occupies one cycle of the instruction decoder, but it can cause the CPU to not be able to reorder instructions in the most efficient way. This will cost you an instruction or two. On a ~2GHz cpu, that's 0.5 ns.

*Unnecessary because the thing being done won't crash the game if it is accidentally interleaved with a different update or whatever, and this is exceedingly unlikely to happen in a repeatable way. At worst you'll get a visual glitch gamers are used to, but often it's something internal and non-visible anyway.
"Does one have the right to have wealth (control enough resources) that one can impede society by act of controlling things and making them not-useful or exploiting them in a way that is a detriment to society?"

This is an easy question to answer, and you answered it and then un-answered your answer. Probably because when I clarified your answer to mean what it meant (by taking control of things away from people who are using them in a way society deems not useful or harmful, you are removing their wealth and thus they do not have a right to it) you violated some kind of principle you thought you held and had to backtrack.

Instead of engaging with this thought process you just proceeded to deliver a few unwanted lectures on things that you felt necessary. I must assume you lack the self-awareness and/or are regarding the question as loaded because it uses a word: wealth, which has a very distinct meaning (but you feel is being used ideologically).
Their price per joule of electricity is higher than per joule of gas by more than the coefficient of performance of a heat pump. You are better off getting thermal energy by burning gas if your energy provider is PG&E.

For heat pumps, you actually want to start at the manufacturers. Their website or customer service will help find servicers in your area.
I agree with both your statements. There is a tradeoff between friction of a nonapproved system and having your money in it. The US has tried to KYC as much as possible, and the psuedo anonymous addresses have mostly been linked to meatspace owners, so I have trouble completely believing that the currency is completely free of gov intervention.

Any sufficiently large state actor can simply buy a zero day exploit to try and remotely get into a target computer and then steal the pk of the wallet. There are mitigation techniques such as multiparty signing and hardware based keys/wallets, but nothing is perfect. And the most secured active users of it are likely already on gov radar.
Lots of companies outside of tech need tech products. The best way to build the right things for customers is to get to know their customers and their business, from engineers to whoever. For one, that’s really hard to do through a laptop screen. Probably more important is it is much easier for person in country/culture X to familiarize themselves with a business and its customers in country/culture X over Y.
The rate of advancement of PCs in the 90s was faster than it is for mobile phones today and many of those devices can run modern software to this day. Moreover, in both cases the primary difference is that the CPUs get faster and you get more memory and storage for the same price, which is irrelevant for the people using their phones primarily to make phone calls and send text messages, because the older hardware could do that when it was new and can still do it now. Which would allow people who need only that to buy a used phone and give people who need more than that someone to sell their old phone to.

Making a phone modular isn't that complicated -- they, in fact, used to do it. Many flip phones had replaceable batteries that the user could so easily remove that they made external chargers in case you wanted two batteries. The amount of space and weight required to put a processor in a socket of the type traditionally used in laptops is negligible, even for a phone, but would significantly lower the cost of repairs because a broken connector on the logic board wouldn't require you to replace the expensive SoC. The electronics in many modern phones are already layered to preserve space and the contact points between layers are a natural position for modular component boundaries.
One problem I've found as a newcomer to Go (and I'm perfectly willing to accept that I just haven't developed the right "language mindset" yet) is that the zero value can be problematic—particularly for scalar types—because it's often a perfectly valid value in a model where you need a way to indicate an invalid value.

Obviously if there is a possibility of invalidity, you would expect the caller to check the error, but the fact that I always have to return something as the callee, and always have to make sure I'm not accidentally using the value in error conditions as the caller, is just asking for mistakes to me.

I appreciate that it's not the path Go has chosen to tread, but I find Result<T, Error> to be so much more of a foolproof pattern than (T, error), especially considering prevention-of-foot-shooting is an established Go design goal.

(Equally obviously you could use a pointer and return nil, but I find that muddles the semantics, because there are multiple reasons you might opt to use pointers besides the ability to express "no value".)
