Also, there's a paper I can't find now which shows you can find the name of the operation in the middle layers if you provide example of what to do. That is, if you prompt: "9 2 5 -> 5 2 9, 0 7 3 ->", you'll find the internals generate "reverse" even though it doesn't appear in the output.

NNs are _not_linear algebra. The genius of NN is that it is a half-linear algebra (assuming most of them these days use ReLU activation.) And thst half linearity gives power.

You know you’ve succeeded in a role when there’s a list of people you’ve supported in growth who are really sad you’re going, worried how they’ll manage without you, but who you know 100% have totally got this.

I’ve gone back years later to a couple of ex-workplaces and seen with my own eyes how those uncertain (or over-certain ;-) folks are in their power and confidence and capability. Others I run into in professional settings and get feedback from others about them not just being great people but awesome professionals.

Knowing you’ve smoothed the way, helped out with existential fears, fed growth of good people when they needed it is the most awesome part of my career. Better even than much of what the paychecks bought me - blurry photos, fatty-liver and electronics in landfill.

For everyone else, DM = diabetes mellitus and ID and NID = insulin dependent and non insulin dependent, as best as I can tell.

Insulin dependent patients could be considered to have severe diabetes or type 1 (autoimmune/“kid” diabetes).

In a nut shell.

I think even something that is directionally correct could be useful for “pre diabetes “ or non diabetics. A little color coded read out instead of numbers and a general trend may help to keep the numbers at the forefront of your mind. IMO, the susceptible population that I try so hard to get them to start thinking about changing lifestyle just tend to not think about how it is affecting their health and they prefer to wait until they have “full on diabetes” requiring medication. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion, maybe a green, yellow, red color gradient would help.
That's about sticky headers of web pages as a whole. For tables it's a whole different thing. I absolutely hate looking at a table with a dozen columns with numbers and then not knowing what is what as soon as I scroll down a bit.
A query parameter would be useful, to be able to skip the landing page and go directly to the answer. With Phind, for instance, I can do `https://www.phind.com/search?q=foobar`.
I can imagine some lyrics can be hard to listen to for an english speaking native. Manowar made a german version of "Heart of steal" it's called "Herz aus Stahl" it's so bad when I heard it for the first time I thought "Oh man I hope we don't sound that bad to all the people who speak english when we're singing english."

I have met a few Admins in my life and, needless to say, there's all sorts of things they have to work around to do normal things online. For example, set the first name to "Admi" and "N" as the middle name to be able to receive a package. And good luck looking them up on places like LinkedIn or Facebook that require but do not accept their actual name.

It's not exactly a common Muslim first name, but it's not unheard of.

> The coverage metric as a goal writing style doesn't work for TDD

Coverage is not a goal of TDD, but in practice you will have 100% coverage by following TDD as you would never have reason to write code that isn't covered by test.

Ultimately, the purpose of coverage tools is to let you know what you might have forgotten to clean up during a refactor, to help you remove what you missed.

How wide a timeframe determines multitasking? To me it is watching a YouTube video when you should be coding and possibly shitposting on Teams all at once. The code is never good, and you have a nagging feeling that you should turn the video off. It maybe works for more repetitive things like tweaking large xml files with repeating patterns.

On the other hand, consider a coder who also is trying to make it with a music career. Setting time aside to practice and reach out to open mic nights or other opportunities can’t be multitasking can it?

But as soon as ADHD comes into play, you’re looking at music opportunities when you should be refactoring some badly written class. Right back into multitasking.

The reason people use tools like vvvv, max, pd, reaktor, etc is not because they’re avoiding textual programming, but rather because those tools are better suited to specific tasks than regular textual programming.

This also applies to things like excel or databases.

Surely, one could implement a reaktor patch or a spreadsheet in their favorite language, but that doesn’t mean much.
Software Defined Radio (SDR): Past, Present and Future
Because when you define a "type Foo []int" you're definig a new type Foo that is not the same type as []int.

So if the type parameter said "[]E" where E is a comparable then "Foo" wouldn't be allowed because Foo is not the same type as "[]int" (for that you'd need a type alias i.e "type Foo = []int". This is by design since it allows you to define new types you don't want to get accidentally used where you don't want them to.

When defining library functions that are truly generic you may want instead to let them be used on the "underlying type". For example, Sort library authors decided that generally you want it to just work on the underlying type and that's why they added ~ in front of the generic type. Otherwise every invocation of Sort you'd need to convert the type e.g. "slices.Sort([]int(myfoo))".

The other type parameter "E comparable" doesn't need the tilde because "comparable" is not an actual type but a type constraint.

A type constraint is an interface that defines the set of permissible type arguments for the respective type parameter and controls the operations supported by values of that type parameter.

You don't need a tilde because any type that implements that constraint will be accepted. Also any type implementing a constraint that embeds that constraint also works

I'm sure that's true but quicklu appears to be more than a few years. The flight from blue states has been going on for almost a decade and probably more:

>>a third of the state’s new residents between 2017 and 2021 hailed from blue states and a quarter from red ones, according to census data. The remainder came from closely divided states, including nearby Georgia and North Carolina, or are immigrants.

I used to use PythonCard but it’s been dead for about a decade now. It was inspired by HyperCard and VB, had a GUI designer, and was super simple. It used used wxWidgets for the GUI so it was native looking if you didn’t push it very hard (ie use only basic GUI elements like buttons, menus, and edit boxes).

This is one of those projects where, if I were retired, I’d love to revive.
Getting more sleep advice is good. Multitasking and monotonous activities break the mind? You used it too much? Like loud music deafens and looking at the sun blinds. I don't think so. It's aging and willpower and behavioral changes are a very short term fix. Denial.
Tldr;
1. Don't multitask.
2. Sleep hygiene.
3. Don't have a boring job.
4. Write stuff down to remember it better.

Life changing stuff.

No doubt this Professor explained it differently or is just doing this fluff piece to promote their book because the above is nothing ground breaking.

For what it's worth though they are right to focus on multitasking. Forget pop psychology, no one can multitask effectively, nor can they task switch continuously in an effective manner. You will always just end up doing 2 or more jobs poorly.

I only recently discovered Blind Guardian. Typically listened to thrash, rarely power metal. Man, what excellence. Brilliant vocals, great choruses, distinct and unique sense of melody both on guitar and vocals. Something I really love about them is that vocals, guitars, and drums all have very prominent and distinct parts. In many bands I feel like one instrument will often dominate and the band becomes boring. I.e. great vocals, no guitar solos or great guitar but could care less for vocals. When I started listening to Blind Guardian and heard a chorus for the first time, I thought “Dang that was awesome, but I bet the guitar solo will suck or not exist”…and MAN was I wrong. Brilliant vocals and brilliant guitar work. And then that drumming is just always going. My life is 2% better for having found them.

And given the

- the behavior of big tech in the last 10-15 years minimum
- The arguably decrease of quality of movies as is from corporate ignoring artists who already had to protest just to prevent themselves from being degraded from writers to AI prompt editors.
- history of artists in film since... forever

I'm honestly very pessimistic. In theory, this means less artists in a VFX studio can charge the same amount (which as is, is way too little. Remember that multiple award winning movies had their VFX studio shutter months after the award), and each artist gets paid a proper living wage, now that there are less hands to re-distribute the money too. In reality, this may shut down what remnants of VFX there are, reduce in house artist, and the remaining artist make even less despite now being as productive as 10-50 artists from the decade prior.

A lot of optimism for such tech would need to come from trust, and every company involved have spent decades eroding that trust and then digging further underground.

>i think a decent analogy is music. software has completely taken over music production. but musicians are still making great music, analogue or otherwise.

music is a decent analogy. No one makes money making music anymore. You're an entrpreneur peddling merchandise as an emotional response from music that people listen to on Spotify that pays pennies (or less, if you sign on a record company). Modern music is the classic "being paid in exposure" trope in action.

419eater is also full of scammers whose English notably deteriorates, scammers who have almost endless time to comply with bonkers requests, and scammers that are quite far into the discussion when they go to some effort to produce "official documents" that look like they were produced by a child. And personally, I've experienced the reverse, where even when it's a well constructed item-for-sale scam by someone with access to a PayPal account they can't help but use email addresses that look a bit too Nigerian to be an elderly Scottish lady and English that just doesn't match the ad copy and is obsessed with explaining the safety and urgency of the transaction rather than the "product". Most of the others have to mention Western Union to Nigeria at some point...

Just doesn't make much sense for people whose time is valued in cents per hour and whose theoretical earnings are in the thousands to optimise for screening out non-gullible people, plus the 99.9% of gullible people that have some sort of spam filter in the loop. But hey, if someone's shared that Microsoft Research paper with the scammers and they've come to believe that using formats that almost invariably bump into spam filters is actually a shrewd move on their part, who am I to discourage them?!

I don't know about Boko Haram involvement, but I assume the organized crime guys have some sort of MLM-style operation scamming Nigerians into paying for the get-rich-quick opportunity.

To be fair, that’s because Python packaging was “invented”/formalised a long time ago, before it was generally considered a bad idea. And a lot of the rationale for this was because you wanted to select specific dependencies for specific platforms, and there wasn’t a proper way to do this.

But now, almost all packages are specified using plain text files. You still need to execute code to compile a sdist that has native code, but that’s a separate thing.
Another technique not discussed is to create an md5 hash of each record and to keep track of added and deleted hashes. The d

I try not to be a code monkey but many organisations want you to be exactly that, demonstrated by their hiring of PMs, POs and architects all of whom have way more sway than you, and senior management encouraging it. They create informal hierarchies and generally get in the way of us doing our real job.

Look at how anyone who's not an artist (especially children) draws pretty much anything, whether it's people or animals or bicycles. You'll see a lot of asymmetric faces, wrong shading, completely unrealistic hairs etc and yet all those people are intelligent and excellent at understanding how the world works. Intelligence can't be expressed in a directly measurable way.

Those videos may be cherry-picked but they're almost good enough that you have to pick problems to point out, problems that will likely be gone a couple iterations later.

Less than a decade ago we read articles about Google's weird AI model producing super trippy images of dogs, now we're at deepfakes that successfully scam companies out of millions and AI models that can't yet reliably preserve consistency across an entire image. In another ten years every new desktop, laptop and smartphone will have an integrated AI accelerator and most of those issues will be fixed.
This kind of logic leads to websites riddled with dark patterns. Just because something works in an A/B test doesn’t make it a good decision.

> These days in the US, people associate the “left” with identity politics and some vague, ever-decreasing lip service to the oppression of the working class voter

Not passing judgement to US politics because I am not even there, but this is what I mean.

It is described as opinionated but is introduced with "they need to be blocked by default." The idea that you need to block entire ASNs from your network based on the content some of their IPs host is ridiculous.

Imagine banning an entire apartment block from entering your store based on the opinions some of the tenants hold. Using arbitrary lists like these devalues small, independent companies in favor of large corporations that are too big to be blacklisted. A requirement to police content disproportionately burdens smaller service providers, while mega corps essentially get to dictate what is allowed because no one dares to lock them out.

I cannot support far-right values like these.
I suspect that most "real" hiking trails in the US that are not on public land have formal easements of some sort. I observe that around me the trails on conservation land are marked on digital maps and the informal trails on private land are not.
