> Satoshi regularly took two spaces after a period.

So did I, for a long time, because I was taught that way in typing class. And so were millions of other people. It's how it was usually done on typewriters. It supposedly made the text easier to read.

It has fallen out of fashion now. I eventually switched to one space once I realized things were going that direction. I'm not sure if I had switched by 2009.

So I think this just tells you that Satoshi is probably old enough to have been taught the old rule.

In Austin, most of the restaurants suck and are expensive. Even the pizza is terrible. Tacos are everywhere, but burritos not so much. There are a few good places. But there's really no point when I can cook better than 99% of them.

A similar situation is true with meal delivery because DoorDash and Favor drivers deliver cold, shitty, expensive food that's often wrong. They suck.

Regular Amazon can barely deliver order 30% of the time, with most packages being stolen or discarded by the drivers, and 50% of the time they are delivered in the wrong place in public areas. So I don't use Amazon.

Oh, and Whole Foods, despite being headquartered here, carries very little diversity of items. You can't even get actual pita bread or lavash at the Whole Foods' flagship store. It's bland and optimized for profits because most Whole Foods shoppers in Austin aren't all that sophisticated but have money to burn.

H-E-B does a bit better, but it's essentially a big box store with aisles of unhealthy food in enormous quantities.

Trader Joe's (Aldi Nord) is about the only decent grocer in town.

California has infinitely more choices and there's nothing like Berkeley Bowl in Austin with Wheatsville being a tiny shop compared to the "Whole Earth Access"-adjacent Berkeley Bowl.

I got it to work on my Windows machine.

The solution was that I had to install Visual studio and add the workload (plugin?) "Desktop development with c++".

The only thing needed to be checked was "MSVC v143" and "Windows 11 SDK", the rest is bloat.

After that I had to put the following path from Visual studio "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.31.31103\bin\Hostx64\x64" into my PATH.

This is because I needed the "cl.exe", "sal.h" and probably a couple of other files to be available to dmd.

(Also, the outdated version of dmd was another factor of the issue)

Finally, the compilation with main.c went smoothly. I had no idea the compiler needed external tooling, I thought it was self sufficient.
YMMV but trying to use any code that ChatGPT or Copilot generates for F# (my main language) just leads to a lot of compilation errors or worse, subtly incorrect code.
Thank god NYS made it illegal for employers to query your existing payroll data from the databrokers awhile back.

But unfortunately every single major payroll provider (like ADP) in the US now shares your payroll data with Equifax and more. And those services openly advertise for employers to use them to be able to beat down new employees on salaries among other things.
The standard meaning of "non-invasive" with respect to blood glucose monitoring is that you measure blood glucose without the need to puncture/penetrate the skin.

We know how to accurately test the blood for various things if we can actually obtain a sample of the blood itself. This is straightforward, but you have to puncture the skin to get the blood.

We are starting to be able to infer/guess the blood content of other things, e.g. oxygen, with "useful" accuracy, by measuring externally-detectable changes, such as the color of blood vessels when you shine lights through the skin.

But nobody has ever (so far) been able to do this with glucose. It may be possible one day, but we don't know that it is. Even with sensors 1000x or 10000x more precise than we have today, the glucose content of blood still might be just be one of those things that just doesn't manifest enough external changes to be detected non-invasively. Thus, we still might not be able to do it 100 years from now.

(I hope we can; I know people with diabetes and I also just want my watch to give me this data about myself because, I mean, why not?)

Right. To be clear, the purpose of the article is not 'zounds, C and C++ have footguns!' but 'C and C++ have footguns – yeah, this is not exactly breaking news – but here is a hopefully helpful summary of where they are, why they exist, and what you can do to avoid them'.

If you are already satisfied you know how to avoid them, and you don't need any more help with that, then you are not the target audience, and should by all means ignore the article.

Nix works wonderfully well for this. As a bonus, it will solve the problem not only for Python, but also for any other dependencies you may have.

The only two package managers that have never given me a single headache when installing Python + Torch + CUDA are Nix and Pacman.

Nix will only become a bit problematic to use if you need to package exotic stuff on your own that makes too many assumptions about Unix FHS.
We used Cloudflare serverless to build several mini-apps for frontend. We liked that it was fast, and we could code in vanilla HTML. In fact, our favorite app was coded in less than an hour, and hosted on Cloudflare.

Here's the app demo: https://joshstroud.com/apps/spotify-notification

The page is hosted on Cloudflare within a single HTML file. Here's the code on GitHub: https://github.com/joshagilend/joshstroud.com/blob/9bece41b5...

Cloudflare serverless is free, often times. I like that a lot :)

From the article:

> While AMD had been quietly funding ZLUDA for the past two years, the company decided to discontinue its support this year for unknown reasons. It’s possible that AMD wanted to avoid any possible lawsuits and so pulled out once the contract ended, meaning it couldn’t be directly tied to the project.
The training data is just billions of {RGB image, text description} pairs. So, it appears the model figured out how to make the normals as part of the process of making the images.

Or, are you asking how the researchers extracted it?

No offense, but you're repeatedly using the term "midwit", which demonstrates that you have a higher-than-average tolerance/liking for non-layman vocabulary, and so might not be the best judge of what the average person is going to accept. Most people are not going to bother looking up the etymology of a word before dismissing a product named using it. Personally, I'm not a fan of the name because it's a word that, like "jitterbug", I associate with old people, because the only people I've known to use it in conversation are over 65.

Orgs spend millions on naming/branding because they know a name that doesn't hit right to the ear is going to be at a disadvantage. The vast majority of folks aren't going to bother giving your product a second thought if it doesn't appeal to them or has a negative connotation in their head right off the bat, regardless of the name's deeper relevance or origin.

Here’s another example:

Say you have a lazy researcher. They flip a coin, and if it comes up heads, they do the experiment. If it comes up tails, they just write down a random number.

If you _only get access_ to the final number, then you should discount what they wrote down – it’s 50% likely to be fake.

If you do 1,000,000 simulations of this, it’s useless 50% of the time.

But if you know the result of the coin flip, it doesn’t matter whether they would have generated a nonsense number in a different timeline, or that they’re not reliably accurate. _You know_ they’re reliably accurate in _this case_, so you can trust their data.
Maybe look in front of them and avoid trucks of peace.

The luxury of thinking otherwise is a post-war economic boom phenomenon. We’re now reverting to what has always been: people screwing one another over scrambling to get their piece of the pie.

I used to think about living a well-balanced life — the middle class life — but that’s akin to thinking you can make a long career out of just being a dev for the rest of your life during ZIRP: naive.

All the market inefficiencies that allowed tech to boom have been snuffed out. All the market inefficiencies that allowed people to live simple, fulfilling lives are gone. You now have to actually play the game, or one day you’ll find you’re a replaceable commodity that’s past its warranty.

Exactly! Accessing data in RAM will be orders of magnitude faster than over the network (maybe this is a good sanity check of our benchmark numbers). The core principle behind IKV is that it allows you to access (large) data-sets without network calls.

Most DB tooling out there only works for a client-server model.

And implementing the Redis protocol would imply changing our architecture significantly and negatively affect performance (ex. a producer-consumer queue to serve requests, ser-deserialization costs).

This and Groq were really surprising to see. I still remember, not too long ago, waiting around for ages just to get a messed up image generation from some site where you got like 20 generations for free with an account. The fact that we're at the point where you can just go to a website and get lightning-fast text and image generation without sign-ups or captcha solving is amazing. I didn't have this type of performance uplift in the cards for early 2024, especially to the extent that they (Groq and fal.ai) can afford to open up their demos completely.

Side note: In my opinion, the fast generations also make up a lot for the shortcomings in image generation quality. I find that even if it messes up, a good result is usually just a seed or small prompt change away.

I’d say you’re just not very good at reading comprehension.
Yeah. I am about 10 years behind on web dev and so I'm working on a Tauri app that is 99% Rust with just Tauri to draw some GUI controls. Works pretty well.

We considered these other frameworks and decided not to pursue them:

- Qt - Not aware of good Rust bindings, difficult to deploy without like 10 DLLs

- FLTK - Good Rust bindings but difficult to style and was missing some features we want

- GTK - Assumed it doesn't build / deploy easily on Windows

- Win32 - Hoo boy we tried. It would be tiny and fast as hell, but riddled with unsafe blocks, and the documentation is just terrible.

- WPF / XAML - Not aware of Rust bindings

- Flutter, WinUI, etc. - Too new

- egui, iced, etc. - Too hard to style, don't need the performance benefits. If I was making a video editor I'd take egui over Tauri since Tauri can't share memory between Rust and JS.

So Tauri won out on these advantages:

- Built-in bundling for NSIS and MSI makes Windows deployments painless

- Can hire any random webdev to fix up the HTML/CSS/JS when needed

- No problem of binding - It's already made to work well with Rust

I did run into a few caveats, the biggest of which is that Tauri programs cannot return from main. Their event loop doesn't allow it, somehow. Every Tauri program just calls `std::process::exit` to quit. There is probably a very good soundness reason for this (e.g. Windows would flip a turd if you exited one GUI event loop and started another?) but it's frustrating since other toolkits do let you return from main.

Also the Windows clean builds are incredibly slow. It builds faster on Linux but it does not build _fast_ fast anywhere. Incremental builds are bearable.
Agreed. Good tests are an order of magnitude harder than good code.

> This seems to assume that intentions "don't count" in some way, as if they were nonphysical

Not nonphysical: just not part of the physical degrees of freedom that can affect things like how die rolls come up or how well a given treatment works on a patient.

The experimenter's intentions (not about the stopping criterion, but about other things) can of course be upstream physical causes, so to speak, of things like what the actual process of the treatment is, and that can, of course affect how well the treatment works. But in the scenario under discussion, all those things are stipulated to be the same in both experiments. And once that is specified, whatever physical variation corresponds to the variation in the experimenters' intentions cannot affect the results.

Well, you are describing the maximally absurd end of that spectrum to make your point, but in the US the FDA does indeed ban all kinds of stuff to prevent both its sale, and use (i.e. to stop "the stupid" from using it).

Blood glucose monitors are sold without a prescription in many countries, and you can buy them with varying degrees of accuracy and use them for whatever you want; not in the US, though, because they are regulated as medical devices.

The same is true for lots of other stuff that could be used in non-medical or less-dangerous medical contexts, like nebulizers.

You can make a reasonable argument for your position, regarding this specific device or more generally. But the FDA has consistently rejected it.
