A/B testing is valuable to optimise an existing process once the low-hanging fruit has been tackled, but it should also be discontinued when the return on investment becomes negligible. Because of organisational momentum, this rarely happens, as a team would make themselves redundant. This can result in A/B testing noise.

Data also provides valuable insight in a negative manner. If your conversion rate is abysmal, the data tells you to get out of your cubicle and start talking with real customers to find out what the data isn't telling you. It is still a data-driven decision. It is just a negative one.

However, in the end, data isn't going to find your next billionaire dollar opportunity. You need to find a gap in the market that no one has tackled before, and of course there is no data for, otherwise someone else would have jumped on it.

It's cheaper everywhere else because it's so incompetently (or corruptly) regulated here. If you can't demonstrate an ability to solve that problem here, putting more of the system under the same regulators seems like doing things out of order.

Pointing to Russia on costs also points to the other side of the problem: Their healthcare system is severely under-funded. That's one way to make it cost less.

Your bank is nice, but relying on a corporation like a bank to be nice is risky and a fragile stance (they can change ToS any instant).

With credit cards, the protections are written into law (regulation) so you don't need to hope they're nice to you, it's actually guaranteed.
I have seen so many people do this wherever I have worked. In fact there is another thing that they do i.e. when management pulls in the schedule they will meekly agree to it because they already know they are going to half-a$$ their code. Now they are heroes much before as they are "yes-men" and will be targeted for promotion. Swooping in to fix things just adds to their already loaded credentials.

The ones who are honest and actually disagree are banished and their lives are made difficult. They are called all sorts of names the most important being "not a team player".

Your managers need to understand the work that you're doing. When I review someone's code and I see them fixing something potentially catastrophic but that never happened, I definitely remember that and congratulate them. When I see a team member ask a question that makes me or the team rethink implementation strategy. That is very valuable. When a code reviewer finds a potentially critical bug in my code, or just a nuanced bug, I remember and appreciate. Because I fully understand that those are potential p0 or p1 issues.

And great engineers are consistently good at this type of passive, keeping the lights on work, but it does not reflect on their quantifiable work, so orgs do not include this in performance reviews. It is up to your manager to recognize this and advocate for you.

The article is a bit unclear on whether this happens with standard/default settings, tough that's probably because they don't know themselves. The workarounds changing things from "Auto" to "disabled" or even increasing voltage settings certainly seems like it also applies with defaults, and isn't some overclocking/tuning side effect.

If that is the case… ouch.
It is parsed and loaded in memory, and not executed.
Yeah, I'm saying the relevance of that statement is pretty low because most of us don't experience that, certainly not enough to tip the needle of JS culture.
TL;DR: some motherboards by default overclock too much on some intel processors, causing instability.
In addition to what the other post said, Go also favors simplicity for the programmer. So stack and heap are "unified", a lot of dispatch is virtual and you rely on the compiler optimizing away all the dynamisms and checks. As you might imagine, the compiler has been getting better, but these are hard problems.

If you are willing to spend time on it, you can improve Go's performance quite a lot by finding places where heap escape analysis failed, and trying to fix them. But this is extremely frustrating to do.

Another thing is interfaces and all the runtime checks Go likes to do. In C++ parlance, every interface-valued dispatch is virtual by default.

For many, Go is "fast enough". Usually it's within a factor of 2 of Rust, which puts it far ahead of the interpreted languages it's usually replacing.

Agreed.

> debit cards are still very popular for people who need to control every dollar,

But that's terrible advice. Debit cards will debit immediately from your account and you may know that banks are very creative in re-ordering transactions to inflict you maximum pain.

You have $1000 balance and on the same day issue payments for $10, $20, $30, $40, $50 and $999. If the bank processes those in the same order you get hit with one overdraft fee when the final $999 payment goes through.

But no, the bank will rearrange that to process $999 first, and hit you with five overdraft fees. So nice of them. I mean nice for them.

With a credit card the payments are buffered away from your balance and you can choose when to pay it.
That's not my interpretation. Cf the following:

> Solution A): In BIOS, select "OC", select "CPU Core Voltage Mode", select "Offset Mode", select "+(By PWM)", adjust the voltage until the system is stable, recommend not to exceed 0.025V for a single increase.

Not really, because the "tax" applies to competitors as well. In an uncompetitive industry the merchant has pricing power and can just raise the price, true. But in a competitive industry, margins are thin and they have to raise the price or they go out of business, and so do their competitors, which is what allows them to.

Ah, ok.
Yes they, absolutely, were… but even if that was a coherent counterpoint — your argument seems to now be that the international mechanisms for policing crimes against commercial interests are inherently stronger, more robust, and effective than the international mechanisms for policing crimes against humanity — international treaties also ban copyright infringement, overfishing, and pollution.

Clearly, none of those are happening.
Why SPAs became popular? Because they "feel" native on mobile. Now you have page transitions and prefetch which really should kill this use case.

IMO the bloat he talks about on the post is not representative of 2024. Pretty much all frontend development of the last 2 years has been moving away from SPAs with smaller builds and faster loading times. Fair enough it's still visible in a lot of sites. But I'd argue it's probably better now than a couple years ago.

I'm not sure I would call a binning failure "small" — mostly because I can't remember this ever happening before. Binning is a core aspect of managing yields. And it seems that this is breaking for a sufficient number of people to have a game tooling vendor investigate. How many bug reports would it take to get them into action?
It's a fairly safe assumption in this instance given how important these features are for people - either BlueSky will never get much traction, or people will add ways to achieve the same result.

Personally, I'm not very block-happy, but I still have a few instance-wide blocks in place for my even my single-person instance on Mastodon because there are literally a few instances full of nazis, run by nazis, where blocking one puts you at risk of brigading.

I'm in a privileged enough position to have relatively little to worry about, but this also extends to a safety issue for a lot of communities, where harassment and threats spill over into the "real world", and where being able to put in place broad, expansive blocks to minimize the ability for individuals who consider themselves "wronged" by one of their victims to utilize their communities to strike is the bare minimum when there isn't a central authority putting efforts into getting rid of these users.

While the choice to pursue a commercialization partnership is inevitable, I do feel that the Venn diagram of "what do we need to research and pioneer in space" and "what is commercially exploitable" is not completely overlapping". In other words, I fear that the commercial industry may not want to pursue certain directions and strategies that are important to the US government.

I assume the smart bet here for the government is to spend opex just on the things that are important to them and assume that some of the overhead costs of running a space station are covered by whatever independent commercialization opportunities the private company can realize. Thereby lowering the cost to the government as it doesn't have to pay the total cost of ownership.

My worry is that important strategic aspects that have no commercial opportunity end up being completely borne by the US government (and therefore the taxpayer) with a profit margin included and what looks clever on paper to move from a capex to an opex model simply becomes a more expensive overall. With added risk that there will only be a handful of companies who can execute any of these strategies and they may not wish to pursue the government's mandate in preference for their own commercial program.

MATRIX adopts a unique hybrid PoS + PoW consensus mechanism. This means that both Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) are used in the consensus process. In the PoS component, a smaller network of delegates is selected through a random distributed voting algorithm. The probability of a node being selected as a delegate is proportional to its stake in the network. This means that nodes with more stake have a higher chance of being selected as delegates.

Overall, the hybrid PoS + PoW consensus mechanism used by MATRIX combines the advantages of both
approaches. It leverages the security and decentralization of PoW while also benefiting from the efficiency and scalability of PoS.

Models aren't trained on pure "facts" though - they're trained on a dataset of artifacts that reflect today's and yesterday's biases from the world that created them.

If you trained a model purely on past history, it would see a 1:1 correlation between "US President" and "man" and decide that women cannot be President. That's factually incorrect, and it's not "rewriting history" to tune models so they know the difference between what's happened so far and what's allowable, or possible in a just world.
WHAT IS MATRIX AI NETWORK?

Matrix AI Network ($MAN) is a decentralized AI (Artificial Intelligence) platform combining blockchain technology with AI capabilities. It aims to create an ecosystem where AI and machine learning algorithms can be developed, deployed and incentivized securely and transparently. Matrix AI Network utilizes its own AI-driven blockchain to support various applications and services, including data analysis, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). The network also emphasizes privacy and security by implementing advanced encryption techniques. Matrix AI Network aims to revolutionize the AI industry by providing a decentralized and efficient platform for AI development and deployment.

Matrix AI Network consensus mechanism

Matrix AI Network uses a unique PoS + PoW hybrid consensus mechanism. In this mechanism, the Proof of Work (PoW) process is carried out in a smaller network of delegates. These delegates are selected using a random distributed voting algorithm, and the probability of a node being selected is proportional to its Proof of Stake (PoS). The selected delegate, the "winner" delegate, shares the PoW reward with other nodes in its cluster. This approach helps eliminate latency issues commonly arising when scaling blockchain networks. By combining the advantages of both PoS and PoW, MATRIX AI Network aims to achieve a more efficient and secure consensus mechanism. PoS helps to ensure that nodes with a higher stake in the network have a greater chance of being selected, while PoW helps maintain the blockchain's security and integrity. Overall, the hybrid PoS + PoW consensus mechanism employed by MATRIX AI Network enables the network to achieve high performance and scalability while maintaining a secure and decentralized system.
