When I remember passages from books I definitely recall whether it was on the left or right leaf, top or bottom or center, and roughly how far through the book it was. If I read it on an e-reader I may have some recall of the vertical positioning but nothing else.

I can take a book from a shelf that I only read once years ago and find a specific passage in a minute or two using this approach. For an ebook I have to try to remember a phrase and search for it, which doesn't always work if I remember just the physicality and sense of it, but not the specific phrasing.
Do these motherboards explicitly provide a warranty that covers not just damage from overclocking but also CPU errors?

If you can provide links, I'd be curious to see what guarantees they make. "What's fair" depends very specifically on what language they use.
This will go along very well with all of the fake profiles.

Isn't low-level hardware really at the heart of a lot of this? Hasn't a lot of the criticism of Cuda been that it's incredibly difficult for others to implement on other hardware bc of the low-level interactions and Nvidia's usage of dark-APIs (can't recall the term i've heard used).

Wasn't this one of the reasons AMD abandoned/deprioritized their efforts on such a project?

Vvvv is a real, proper windows creative coding toolkit. More arcane than Max or touch designer, imo, but every bit suitable for entertainment industry jobs.

It has been years since I used it, windows 7 actually, but their community had an old school "irc with angry sages" feel.
No European country restricts where you can drink (to my knowledge). Only what things you can do when drunk.
Did you try cleaning everything and re-mounting the cooler with new paste? I’ve seen similar behavior when people mess up and get bubbles in their paste. Do you see wildly different temperature readouts for different cores?
> That's only going to become more true with AI.

It can't become any more true than it already is. Humans already fail to identify phishing 95% of the time. And a human can already create an exact duplicate e-mail, website, text, etc as a real one. There's no need for AI.
Very interesting!

Is there a particular Parker model you’d recommend?
haha :) you are funny :)
Anker is good. The limit for USB-C cables is normal ones go to 60W, marked ones go to 100W. The cables are passive except for the marker chip. It is the charger that does USB-PD. Do you have it plugged into regular charger that does 15W, or USB-PD charger that does more?

I guess you could have a bad cable where the CC wire has broken and can't do USB-PD.
you answered the git question passibly IMO, so perhaps you could be hired?

But what heuristic would you suggest for someone that doesn't know git at all, and doesn't ever write code for fun or to solve problems on their own?
I didn't know about PiKVM. I have no idea if it will run. Probably not as-is.
The K chips aren't just unlocked, they're also significantly faster out of the box. I'd guess very few K owners have any intention of overclocking, especially as the gains are very small, and instead just want the higher out of box performance

“ Fermilab irradiated these samples with the electron beam and shipped them back to 3M.

3M sampled both the headspace—the air at the top of the container—and the liquid to verify that the PFAS of concern had been destroyed without releasing hazardous products to the air.”

I think this is what we call fox guarding the henhouse. 3M has EVERY incentive to declare this whiz bang treatment effective because of the legal liability and financial incentives involved.

I’d want independent test results and a full accounting of the byproducts of this treatment before putting any faith in it.
Not an article, but a good “measuring stick” might be the binary trees benchmark: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

This one stresses the GC quite a bit (so it doesn’t make much sense for non-managed languages that can “cheat”), and there is only Haskell as a managed language that could get ahead of Java (but it is not really apples to oranges due to the different execution model), and in other’s case it is not even close.

Go is particularly bad in this benchmark, though it sort of makes sense as it optimizes for low latency, which is fundamentally at odds with throughput.
Show HN: A GitHub Action for helping RAG apps with CI/CD
Use this GitHub action to easily integrate RAG system evaluation into your CI/CD process. The README contains full instructions and an example.

This action runs every time you create a PR and for each subsequent commit to the branch. Simply point it to a file that contains test questions and optional reference answers and context. It evaluates the questions and then scores the RAG generated response against the provided references. After it computes the scores across 6 different metrics, it generates a table that is displayed as a comment on your PR.

Thanks for sharing, I've been looking for an app like this for ages.
It is a simple matter of having current and relevant knowledge for the role. Would I hire a junior developer who didn't know much or even anything about using git? Probably. Would I question the seniority of a so-called senior developer who didn't know the basic usages of the most dominant source control tool for the past 15 years? Absolutely.

If they had a good explanation for that gap in knowledge, like working for the past 20 years somewhere that was stuck in legacy code and running on SVN, I'd definitely take that into consideration. I might still want to be certain this candidate is smart enough to quickly pivot into a new codebase and new tools. I've met many people who struggle with exactly that kind of change which is exactly why they don't keep their knowledge current.

I'll admit that asking people how git works isn't a question I would ask in an interview. Playing devil's advocate though, I would probably not hire someone claiming to be a senior developer who doesn't know how git works.

Switzerland has lower inflation, a lower reference rate (1.75%) and an appreciating currency. Over the past year, you would have still been better off putting your CHF in a 1% account than to transfer to USD, put in a 5.5% account and transfer back, even ignoring fees.

There are also a couple of places offering around 1.5% fwiw.

Emacs uses the presence of double spaces after periods as a marker that that particular sequence of text is the end of a sentence. It doesn't insert them by default, but rather interprets their insertion in a particular way.

See: sentence-end-double-space, a variable, and sentence-end, a function, both defined in ‘paragraphs.el’.

Other editors made this same interpretation of existing, common practice.

> Why so cheap?

It was an amateur open source project hosting a simple site for project collaboration, in an era before the FAANG bubble in engineer salaries. I think $10/month for a hobby thing is about right.

Also recognize that this was still in the "OMG how did computers get so fast" era. Our intuition about the time was still colored by the 486's on which we'd all installed Linux for the first time (or the Sparcstations we used at school, same deal). Even today a 100+ MHz device still "feels fast" to me, and recognize that I write audio firmware on 400-800 MHz DSP cores.
You don’t even need a fountain pen for it to feel nice, for me there are many nice needle point pens at a decent thickness 0.5+ that have a great feel to them. That and a nice Japanese paper notebook like hobonichi and the like and you’re in for a good time

PSA: If you are of a certain age, the last four digits might be roughly all of the useful entropy in your SSN. Be careful with them. Before 2011, the first three digits indicated the office that issued the number and the middle two (the "group number") were used in a publicly-known sequence. The Social Security Administration helpfully published periodic lists of the highest group number reached by each office. This makes it extremely easy to predict the first five numbers for people who were registered at birth, which became quite common in 1986 when tax laws changed to require children's SSNs to claim the associated tax credit.
People who use the word woke won't even define it themselves because doing so makes them look clearly like a bigot.

As a British person, despite having been taught that the '-ise' suffix is 'proper' English, I have made some effort to unlearn this habit, as it was never really based on any etymological roots anyway. Here's what Wiktionary has to say about it[1]:

Many English verbs end in the suffix /aɪz/. Historically, this has been spelled -ize on words originating from Greek (for example baptize, Hellenize), while -ise has been used, especially in -vise, -tise, -cise and -prise, on words that came from French or Latin roots (for example surprise, supervise). In the 19th century, it became common in the United Kingdom (due to French influence)... to use -ise also on words that had historically been spelled -ize (hence baptise, Hellenise). However, the... Oxford English Dictionary continue to use the spelling -ize on Greek words, and -ize has always been the spelling used in the United States and Canada on such words.

The whole debate becomes rather moot when it is considered that Ancient Greek didn't use the Latin script, so both '-ize' or '-ise' would have looked distinctly foreign to a Greek author two thousand years ago. Horace so succinctly noted that "Captive Greece took captive her savage conqueror and brought civilisation to barbarous Latium", but he might have been a little less glowing if the orthography of Greek loanwords was as heated a debate in Rome as it is in contemporary Britain!

That is the destructive power of dating apps. They present you with the illusion of unlimited choice. Why swipe right on this person, when there's surely someone better just a few later. The apps have distilled dating - finding a partner or just getting laid - to a decision made in seconds with generally only a photo and a few catch words.

The apps have done to dating what social media has done to attention spans.

No.

It sometimes slightly mitigates it but never fixed it.

Only thing which was life-changing: Ritalin.

A) that link is to a deleted post

B) I was a small grower who worked contributed a small bit to the regulatory infrastructure for Colorado's legalization and communicated with many growers of many crop sizes.

It's not extremely easy.

Additionally trimming isn't difficult in that it takes skill, it's difficult in that it's a lot of mind numbing work. Consistently growing is difficult as a skill.

The whole discussion kind of reminds me of the beer brewing industry, where techies think because they had a couple garage brews that went well (and don't consider the ones that didn't), they think they are a replacement for a brewery. And weed is even worse; you're looking at an hour a day for a small batch, and you can't miss a day. And the girls are way worse at telling you what went wrong, whereas you can generally tell exactly what went wrong with beer from the off flavors.

Optimizing one's savings rates always seemed to me to be high effort, low reward. Like coupon clipping or credit card churning. You either live with convenience and low returns or you get a slightly better return by making "opening new accounts" your entire life.

I already have a credit union account for checking, multiple brokerages, an HSA account, a 401(k) account (different from my brokerages), a Roth IRA account, a 529 account, an account at TreasuryDirect, and probably others I'm not thinking of. Now if I want the best yield savings, I need to open yet another bank account? If I want the best CD rates, I'll need further another account? Yuck!

And when I want to move funds from one asset class to another, it's a ACH transfer or some other needlessly multi-day transfer from one institution to another. It's exhausting.

This is why I don't worry too much about AI. It can write the code better and faster than I do? Wow, you just freed up 5% of my day.
I don't think you understood the purpose of mass education. Companies don't care about code that requires a CS degree, but they care about the author of that code having a CS degree, precisely because that makes him a replaceable cog. Self taught developers are of varying quality. Each of them knows different things. If you want to fire a CS graduate you can just hire another CS graduate. If you hire someone with a unique skillset, how exactly are you going to find another one with the same skillset? The purpose of the CS degree is akin to the purity stamp on a bar of gold. Think about it. You have one bar of gold without a stamp and one with a stamp. Both are completely identical. How would you know? You wouldn't, hence the need for a stamp.
I've built laced wire harnesses for general aviation aircraft, for flight test instrumentation in commercial aircraft, for race cars, and for race motorcycles. I have a particular distaste for zip ties. Some advantages of lacing not discussed here:

The inside diameter of a zip tie is serrated. It can trap particles of dirt, and in a high vibration environment, these particles can abrasively cut through even solid aircraft grades of stainless steel. I saw the results when someone zip tied an instrumentation wire to a 5000PSI 21-6-9 stainless steel hydraulic tube on a GeNX-1B thrust reverser just to secure it out of the way during a test. It sawed through the tube and caused a massive leak after less than than 3000 simulated flight cycles (engine operating cycles on a ground test stand)

Zip ties have an annoying square head, and the tag end is often cut off not quite flush with the head, giving a great jagged edge to lacerate some poor mechanic's hand. I've frequently had my arm buried deep in a mass of spaghetti wiring behind a panel to get at a connector or something, it's very nice to not withdraw it and find deep red scratch marks in my forearms like I've been fighting to trim my cat's nails. They do sell a brand called Cobra Ties that have the tag end parallel to the band, which is a little nicer in this regard.

Zip ties are a hard point and are frequently over-tensioned. It's not uncommon to find damaged/pinched insulation, or even broken conductors in small gauge wires, under a zip tie.

In general aviation maintenance, I frequency (95% of the time inspecting a new to me airframe) encounter previous work that was accomplished with some garbage neon colored zip ties from the home improvement store or Harbor Freight, made of an unknown grade of plastic. When used in an engine compartment, these often cannot withstand long term exposure to high temperatures and fluids, and fail by breaking when you least want them to. When used in the passenger compartment, these can emit hazardous amounts of toxic fumes and smoke in the event of an electrical fire, which can be caused by an over-tensioned zip tie. Shade tree mechanics are too lazy (or ignorant) to mail order the correct MS3367 mil-spec ty-wraps, with guaranteed strength/temperature/flammability performance.

But really, I prefer wire lacing in the cabin, and MS21919 cushioned P-clamps in the engine compartment.

Is it immoral to hire a dating coach to help with your profile?

Or a coach to revise your resume?

I think there’s some balance, but I think the key point is that the person takes responsibility for however they put together messages. Although interestingly, I guess it worked for the other person as they dated for a bit and I think he achieved his goal of dating this person.

If they are literally just having ChatGPT write messages whole cloth then they will suffer detection in person. But I think that’s more stupidity than morality.

I did have a friend mention how she dated someone who was amazing and thoughtful by text but very different in person or on the phone.

I write fast CUDA so I guess I'm one of the lucky few - which I already knew. I spent a lot of time benchmarking, instruction counting the PTX, function approximations, interleaving etc. I don't think it would cost that much money to write new ops for a new hardware for existing frameworks but for some reason very few do it - I figure it must be cheaper than making the hardware. I assume it's "penny wise, pound foolish" or maybe that it's very hard for hardware companies to do software as they try to pay their software guys like hardware guys.

More and more I'm doing more branchy algorithms so the CPU is now my new bottleneck - thank you fast GPUs - but I don't think the market will move to this way doing things before the current AI wave has crested. So it is probably not good business sense to target my use cases. I have quite a lot of concurrency so I think my ideal hardware is a whole lot of little CPU cores with decent cache and Half Matrix Multiply Accumulate (HMMA) instructions. Once my CPU bottleneck becomes too painful I'll look at what options are on the market. I think, but am not sure, the early Tesla AI chips focused too much on optimizing ResNet and then later they went with CPUs with the HMMAs. Instead of using a variety of instructions I can instead approximate most functions with more HMMAs.

EDIT: changed my reference of matmul intrinsics to the more precise HMMA instruction
