That sounds like the old advertising idiom, “Half of all advertising works, but you will never be certain which half,” or something similar anyway. I think there is a very distinct “lightning in a bottle” component to great and/or successful companies. Combinations of effective teams, aligned motivations, good timing, a leader who can identify and leverage all of those elements to great effect, and some X factors that are simply unknowable. That may be just a slightly more nuanced way of saying they’re lucky, but also good fortune in externally changing scenarios is certainly one of those unknown factors.
I think the ability to recognize, organize, and effectively leverage all of the elements such that a company is well-positioned if/when the external factors line up in their favor is what defines a great CEO. I think that ability is akin to naturally talented musicians. Most people can, with enough time and effort, learn to play a guitar very well. They still won’t be Jimi Hendrix.
The downside is, you can’t force it or fake it (at least not for very long). I think of parallels with the difference between the British and American versions of the TV show “Top Gear” that was being produced in the mid ‘00s. The original British show was the lightning in a bottle, and became one of the most successful TV series on the planet. The lifeless copy they attempted in the US followed the recipe meticulously, and was cringeworthy.

Could they get around this by moving the data to another party? So "they" (Google) no longer retain it?
Better yet, you can name it something like `iter.ZeroTo(10)` and it immediately clears up questions about whether it begins from 0 or 1.

It'll be interesting to see how the Senate responds to the new bill:

> Still, the defeat of the bill left open the possibility that Congress could yet provide much-needed aid to U.S. allies. The Senate was expected to vote on Thursday on a $96 billion package that strips out the immigration provisions but leaves the foreign aid intact.
Perhaps I gave the statement too much strength, far more than intended. But I don't view any metric as anything more than a guide. The reason I use parametric skew in this way is explicitly for a quick and dirty interpretation of the data. Essentially trying to understand if I should take someone's data at face value or not. It's about being a flag. The reason is because when going about the world in an every day fashion I am generally not going to have access to other data like variance (which if we did, we wouldn't need this hack) and can't really do an F-test on the fly. Usually you're presented with the mean and it can still be hard to find a median but it is usually more obtainable than the variance or any other information. So I get your concern and I think you are right for bringing it up because how I stated things could clearly be mistaken (I'll admit to that) but wanted to assure you that no strong decisions were being made using this. I only use it as a sniff test. I do think it helps to give people a bunch of different sniff tests because it is hard for us to navigate data and if you're this well versed I'm sure you have a similar frustration in how difficult it can be to make informed decisions. So what tools do we have to can set off red flags and help us not be deceived by those who wish to just throw numbers at us and say that this is the answer?
Are there any benchmarks comparing startup time of LLRT, Deno, and Bun?

Edit: particularly curious about comparison with Deno deploy.
Yes what you're describing is theta - both an upper and lower bound (within constant factor).

Unless we're talking about 'we need to do this within O(...)', it is generally what we mean (as software engineers, not math/CS academics) even when we say O.

Because as you point out, it would be stupid to, say, file a bug report that some function is O(n^100) and too slow if it's also O(n^2) - both are correct (any time the latter is) but it's not really helpful to say the former. Theta effectively says you've found the smallest O.

i'm trying to understand how or why you would manipulate votes like this

call me crazy but i think mass-scale communication is a better way to manipulate votes, it allows people far away from each other to coordinate their numbers

but if you cut off their coordination mechanism they can't exchange information, and perhaps they might fear pushing out fake numbers in case the numbers of them plus a few others look strange. the best defense would be honesty
Aras just going around and dropping into various open source graphics projects to produce massive speedups and improvements and then going onto some other random graphics project to the same is my favorite trend of the past few years.

I met him briefly at one of the West Coast Computer Faires, in the early days of AutoDesk, or maybe pre-AutoDesk.

His name was familiar to me from the infamous "Pervading Animal Game" on the Univac mainframes. "Introducing a new way of distributing software, Pervasive Release. If someone asks you for your program, you can tell them that in all likelihood, they already have it." There were a number of other, more serious programs in the Univac 1108 ecosystem that had his name on them.

It would be unfair to call this a virus, as it went to great lengths to insure that it couldn't do any harm, other than the few kilobytes it took up in a "program file". (Think "directory" in modern terms.)
What? Not Jack in the Box???
Stepping back a bit, I find it kind of strange that knowledge of a 7-digit number is all that's required for anyone in the world to (by default) immediately interrupt someone.
Windows 3.1 in a Windows 95 Virtual Machine
Blender’s VSE currently lacks GPU acceleration for video rendering, which results in the CPU handling the entire workload. Additionally, it performs a full frame-by-frame render even when re-encoding isn’t necessary, unlike DaVinci Resolve which can bypass this process. Enhancements in this area would be greatly beneficial for Blender’s performance and efficiency.
A lot happens in a decade, at some point even a browser flushes its cache and fetches new data... ;)
Two ke strategies he employed:

1) >>Spinoza stuck to Latin, the language of the learned élite. In the preface to the “Tractatus,” he declares that he is writing only for philosophers and discourages “the multitude, and those of like passions with the multitude,” from reading the book: “I would rather that they should utterly neglect it, than that they should misinterpret it after their wont.”

2) >>When the “Tractatus” provoked a hostile reaction anyway, Spinoza decided not to publish anything else. He also turned down an offer to become a professor at the University of Heidelberg, on the ground that holding an official position would expose him to even more attacks. All of his work, including the “Ethics,” was left in manuscript form for his friends to print after his death.

Certainly playing the long game. And winning.

Possible today?
In my district (in the US), the schools are arranged in a hierarchy, and at each level the school size increases. So the middle schools each have feeder elementary schools, and no elementary cohorts get split between the middle schools. And the high school gets everyone. It's not a huge district, however (500-600 students per grade level), so it's possible other more urban areas do it differently.

The only time where a friend group can get split is if they redraw the boundaries for the elementary schools. This happens occasionally, not every year.

> Then you can cycle there in ~20 minutes.

Unless, you know, there's no way to actually cycle there in 20 minutes because the routes are not cyclist friendly or accessible. Or maybe they live in a hilly area where cycling means either working up quite a sweat, or getting an e-bike to assist. Or there's inclement weather that makes cycling extremely uncomfortable if not impossible. Or if you have an injury that makes cycling difficult or painful to where you can only go very slow. Or when you have to carry something heavy with you.

There was a point where I had a 15 minute commute to work by car. Cycling, it was 40 minutes and required getting pretty sweaty. Why? Because by car I could take the highway, and by bike I couldn't. Cycling was also much more dangerous on that route than the highway drive, because I had to go through many intersections, pass multiple schools during the morning drop-off time, cross over a major highway overpass that always had heavy traffic that time of day.
I don’t understand the “security theater” criticism.
There hasn’t been an airplane hijack or terrorist attack since 9/11.
That is not proof that we can relax security checks. Nor is it proof that it’s just about the locked pilot doors.
If anything, it’s proof that the system has worked well so far.

Reflex (YC W23) Is Hiring a Founding Developer Advocate
This! I won't buy a Windows OS to run stuff because rebooting is annoying and I end up rarely ever actually dual booting. But I'd pay good money for a Windows Classic library on Linux.
Something like this argument applies to a lot of privately-created wealth, but not to land. Private ownership of land (and the profits generated by it) is completely philosophically incoherent if you spend a little time thinking about it, starting with the fact that private property rights require that stolen assets be returned and not able to be profited from, but all land is stolen when you trace back far enough, and all land ownership claims are the fruit of the poisoned tree.

The best approach would be one where the government issues long-term leases to parcels of land, but property taxes are an okay-ish alternative if that (or LVTs) aren't feasible. Note that this is already what we do for things like the EM spectrum: the government owns it in the public trust, then leases it with an open bidding process.
> Just to nitpick a little, let's use the word cyclists, not bikers

Humans are capable of gleaning from context.

> I feel that bikers actually obey traffic signs more than cyclists do.

Motorcycles have completely different traffic laws, both legally and socially... so yes they would follow car style traffic rules more closely than a cyclist.
They still have nothing (as of now)

Trying saying it non-rhotically, like a British television presenter
I'm sure this will stop the 3-6 automated spam calls I get daily that originate outside the country.
I was more math oriented during my studies, and I hated physics (couldn't openly admit that). I still don't get a lot of the physics I was taught, but I did juggle my way out of it using math, learning some formulas and getting a passing grade. Deep inside I admire physicist more, because for them the things that never clicked for me are natural.
There is a fair bit of "eruption chasing" going on. People want to see it up close.

I lived in Iceland in 2010, when Eyjafjallajökull erupted and stopped most of the air-traffic in Europe. I was fortunate enough to go with some friends (in jeeps with very large tires, to traverse a snow-covered glacier) to see the eruption up very close. We were about 200m from the erupting lava. Most amazing nature-experience of my life - by a mile.

Well without explicit search would probably be more accurate.

They note that though in the paper:

>Since transformers may learn to roll out iterative computation (which arises in search) across layers, deeper networks may hold the potential for deeper unrolls.
Of course a group of people should have no more rights than any one person! It's only natural.
Thank you! I’d be very interested in any papers you have the time to dig up. I feel like even one paper would give me a good pointer into the literature from which to start exploring.
It's not difficult to imagine possible threats just by looking at the comparison screenshots alone:

Why not? Things have to eventually be replaced or upgraded.
I'm happy to share transcripts if you email me.

I'm not sure what you are feeding it. My scope is closer to a file at a time of fairly mostly self-contained python or C and asking it to clean it up or convert it to typescript.

I can imagine lots of scenarios it doesn't work well.

In mine, it does, and I have plenty of transcripts showing that :)
Serverless has two things that I really like about it:

1. Scale to zero, which allows me to do things like automatically deploy a full environment for each branch in a project, with a full infra, frontend, backend, database, etc.

2. Good integration with IaC tools, so that I can define my infra and my runners in a single language/tool, be it terraform/cdk or something else. Most "monolithic" setups split configuring the infra and what runs in it into two tools/steps (please let me know of ones that don't!).

But if I actually run a application for a long time with somewhat consistent load there are always cheaper, more performant and flexible solutions than a serverless setup.

Fwiw.. High Rise does a nice job of describing a smooth, continuous, piecewise-imperceptible transition from sanity to insanity. (As does Cronenberg's film Dead Ringers. In contrast to the film Falling Down, which coughs up an insanity hairball in the encounter with the Korean shopkeeper, eliding the need for a lot of character development.)
That is an awesome idea. I wish the authors would open source the code and weights so this can be tried.
I think this is an interesting finding from a practical perspective. A function which can reliably approximate stockfish at a certain depth could replace it, basically "compressing" search to a set depth. And unlike NNUE which is optimized for CPU, a neural network is highly parallelizable on GPU meaning you could send all possible future positions (at depth N) through the network and use the results for a primitive tree search.

CEOs have to be competent agents of capital. This is fine to them because they see capital as a force for good.
Up to a point, I agree. For larger changes, it would require community outreach, internal communication with other devs, testing, feedback, etc.

But there are also a lot of small "easy wins" that require none of that to be a good addition to the code.
If you don't mind sharing, how do you find their API? I don't understand graphql that well and I've been trying to play with https://www.traderjoes.com/api/graphql to no avail. Cool project, github star achieved.
You seem to be taking "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" as some sort of name calling or insult, but it's an old "term of art" name for a systemic problem (often attributed to John Steinbeck, though the notorious quote was a paraphrase/"calque" of what Steinbeck actually wrote). Systemic issues aren't an "unseen force" in terms of a mystery of how they happened and being able to blame it solely on outside "ne'erdowells" (though yes I did use "the industries" as a handwave and really meant "the systems in place"), but a lot of established status quo things and a lot of unchecked assumptions and a lot of PR and propaganda and mystique like "The American Dream".

This isn't the only reason that people aren't on board with unionization, but it is a common reason people, especially in America, aren't often on board with unionization in general (and has been noted as such for a long time, as mentioning Steinbeck implies). I think it particularly is applicable to mention as one of the biggest chicken-and-egg/catch-22 reasons that tech workers in general have many specific issues with the concept of unionization because it is often successful in strategies that break solidarity, because we tech workers still feel close to the VC seats of power and "recent/near" to massive wealth bubbles like the 90s dot-com boom.

I think pointing to systemic problems is helpful to trying to solve them. You can't solve problems you intentionally leave in a blindspot.

IRS: billions in overdue/unpaid taxes to be collected with new funding
Agreed. I've run the house using google minis and assistant for years now, and asking assistant to do / about stuff has not improved one iota in that time and has introduced several more quirks and bugs.

There's no way that second use case doesn't show a UAC prompt.

The whole point of the split token / UAC elevation is to avoid elevation without user interaction. Imagine malware stuck as standard user just running itself like:

cmd.exe /c sudo malware.exe
I think they should've named it something else to avoid confusion, especially if it doesn't have the same behavior as unix sudo. If it has different arguments and features, imagine the confusion of unsuspecting users searching how to use sudo in the future.

I agree. On Android, Chrome has this setting (Settings > Site settings > Notifications > disable the toggle to disable them, or enable the "don't get annoying popups" setting). If you use the checkbox rather than disabling notifications completely, you can still whitelist a website through the menu in the address bar, which is probably the best of both worlds.

All desktop browsers I know have a similar setting, so I'm sure that whatever is annoying you on desktop Safari can be turned off!
Compared to standard wind turbine, this "innovative" design appears to have a very large number of moving parts. And area of load-bearing surfaces. And footprint for its foundations and anchor points.

> Migrant surge will lift demand and increase the labor force

> Wages, however, will rise more slowly, in part reflecting the increase in the number of lower skilled workers

TLDR: increased immigration will suppress wages for common people while the rich and powerful benefit massively.

This isn't exactly new information, it is just presented differently. You could already pull up an address in Redfin (and others, I'm sure) to see what schools it is assigned to.
It's a neat idea, but I think you need some automation to make it useful over a long period of time. There's a website to do track gas prices, and they just change too much to keep updated.
Isn't LangChain supposed to provide abstractions that 3rd parties shouldn't need to conform to OpenAI's API contract?

hmmm, so I no longer need to right click on cmd and run as administrator?
Love it! Ollama has been such a wonderful project (at least, for me).
The best way would be, if it could say something like:

Allow $PARENT_PROCESS_NAME to run $COMMAND with administrator rights.

So if you would enter the following in cmd.exe:

sudo notepad.exe ...

It would say:

Allow Command Processor Shell to run notepad.exe ... with administrator rights.

I am a ham radio operator and in my younger days I helped do some tower work and know what it is to be suspended by a belt 120 feet in the air.

There is no way this tower was disassembled overnight in the dark. It was probably a two day job and the transmitter would have been switched off first.

Most commercial stations have monitors. Someone switches off the transmitter and you get a loud warning. If they didn't have a monitor then how few people were listening that not a single person called the station asking why it was off the air?

In college I had several buddies who got their commercial licenses and babysat transmitters overnight. Even at 4 am if something went amiss they would be flooded by phone calls from listeners. I have to wonder if this wasn't done for the insurance money?
