I have no idea how metrics would be measured unless the work is always the same and trivial.

In my job, every problem seems to take a random amount of time. It might be the thing I'm assigned is trival and done in 1-2 hrs. It might be it would be trivial but it pointed out an issue elsewhere than needs to be fixed first. It might be trivial but the CI was down for 6hrs. It might be trival but requires some other library to roll to a new version and the roll broke something else. It might look trivial but turns out to need a non trival refactor to work.

I ran into that last one yesterday where I started on an issue that seemed like it should be trivial, in an object with different options than it currently has. These objects are cached by their options since they are heavy. The code that gets an existing or new one is 5 levels deep. It creates them from a factory but the info this new issue needs needs to query the factory to figure out the creation options. So, what seemed like a 10-15 min change is going to be several hours to decide how to surface or pass that factory to/from the top level

the point being, from outside management is going to see different levels of work. It's not as trivial as "created N widgets an hour" nor is it as trivial as "lines per hour"

I feel like there could be lots of unintended consequences with people only taking the smallest tasks or whatever to avoid taking tasks that take longer or to find ways to account things so it looks like they're doing more, etc
“Not happy…” (“Jan”) would probably work for most Aussies, as one of the most well-known but still local catchphrases.
Oh, I had not thought about this. Cool idea!
Use 'emulated cpu' on fpga -- fpga's expensive[0].

physical ram via 'usb' would need to be 'hot swappable'[1] -- currently a $$$$ hardware option for high end servers.

'ram disk' can be done via swap file on SSD. aka disk on usb.

note: usb communication data available to everything on usb bus.

ram access patterns have high usage rate aka heavy wear/tare on drives.

Historical issue is ram speed is almost always faster than the 'general purpose' bus, even when not competing with other devices using same usb bus.

Really, this is the truth of it. I would love to be in better shape. I am not willing to sacrifice half of my free time a day, or alternating days, to do this. Then to get home and cook and clean and all that? I'd do nothing but chores, work, eat, work out, sleep, repeat. I have done what I can with calorie restrictions but now that it's not working anymore I'm just the weight and fitness that I am.
For that you probably want unpkg, there might be some other similar alternatives that you can look for if you want. They're essentially mirrors of NPM but they automatically bundle packages up and serve it via http like a normal web JS file.

Some things still won't work because they rely on some server side library, like loading files or something, but you won't want those for web development anyway. You might also find that some libraries don't handle being included as a script very well, but you can instead use the import statement and that will probably work better - use <script type="module"> and inside that use import something from "<whatever the unpkg URL is>".

For production usage this isn't ideal because you're not as in control of the code you're depending on, it's less reliable, and it's more requests than if you just bundled everything together, but not everything needs to be for production usage!
Unless I'm mistaken, that's a double bass, not a cello.

One of the many reasons older homes (especially pre WWII) are way better built. Older homes use bigger timber of old growth. Newer homes used smaller diameter timber of new growth. There’s no comparison. Provided it was taken care of I’d take a pre WWII home over something much newer all day long. You can always update cosmetic issues but you can fix the inferior structural construction of newer homes. There’s a reason why “This Old House” is a popular thing in places like the Northeast.

That's the value-sell of self-driving cars: placating an anti-social techno-"patrician" class that fears people, a class who now has the luxury of avoiding them.

Self-driving cars seem to be a technological solution to a modern socio-cultural pathology, nothing more. That's not healthy. Seems like the better solution would be to address the pathology directly and eliminate it, rather than create workarounds for it.

How did you find yourself in a low-trust society, with anti-social leanings? And how can we fix that? That needs to be addressed.
But by seeking profit OpenAI will be able to help humanity at greater levels.

I have absolutely zero reason to believe "AI" is better of in the hands of Altman, Brockman etc and most of the public would feel similar.
For now, Waymo in SF costs significantly higher than Uber. I just checked and was quoted double - $25 to go from the outer richmond to Japantown.
No I didn't die, but I wasn't happy either. Enough that I feel like I have more control over my fate if I drive.

I don't think you've ever had a knife waved at you by a crazy person before. Don't be an idiot, if something looks really dangerous, it probably is.

The first one this year in our city was just 4 days ago.

That article also lists out recent violence on public transit in my city (like the guy hitting people with a hammer on the train). In comparison, 36 people were killed in car crashes in 2022, 28 in 2023.
After a total of 41 Waymo rides so far: Yes, absolutely.
Automatic generation of code for Z80 is kind of hard because some operations are forced to use a few registers.
For example, ADD only works with A or HL (and IX or IY), and the code generator requires register shuffling or using the stack for saving temporary values.
My current approach is building a node tree for expressions, generating code by detecting common patterns, and if there isn't a pattern it goes the complicated but simple way. For example, for add:
right expr. / push hl / left expr. / pop de / add hl,de

Did any V8 people work on Go? And V8 is an implementation of an existing language, so that fits under "very good software engineer, very bad language designer". As for C, well, it's not a fantastic language. Not to mention, it's been 50 years since C was created, ignoring those 50 years of progress to build essentially C with GC is pretty poor language design.
> I agree that there's still endless work to do, some companies are probably behaving in a way that is dangerous, they aren't half as good as you want them to be, it's not clear whether they are good for society or financially viable etc. etc. but it just seems weird that so few people are willing to be like, "fair play, they basically pulled it off, round of applause", even just for a second.

They're victim of the self-driving hype machine, which is not entirely Waymo's fault. Lots of people and companies were really promising the world with self-driving cars after making the initial "novelty" proof of concept stuff possible. But now they're in the nitty gritty of actually making it safe, dependable, reliable, and trusted, in less than ideal conditions (or in non sunny California conditions at all) and people and companies are finding that it's far harder to follow through on that.

To Waymo's credit, they have been steadily plugging along without crazy marketing or PR to overhype their product. They just have to win the long-game, if they can.
no one said the values would no longer matter - they just wouldn’t be furthered by said assets.

you might think that that also suggests that the values no longer matter, but that would be to say that the only way to prove that something matters is with money or money equivalents. to “put your money where your mouth is,” if you will.
I love Waymo and use it all the time.

One aspect I'd still like to see them figure out:

As a bike commuter, I share the road with Waymo often. When cycling, you're always checking the eyes of other drivers to confirm if they see you.

I've had a couple incidents where I was a little thrown/unnerved because I couldn't confirm if a Waymo was registering me. It ultimately behaved fine, but I had to put my guard way up because I just couldn't tell.

I've wondered if they could use the light/display on top to signal acknowledgment? How do you simulate the precision of a gaze with a machine that's "seeing" everything at once?

They have been submitting data to the DMV for some time. Do you believe they are falsifying their data?
I was excited about this until I read that companies had introduced efficiencies such as “monk mondays” to get more done in less time. Couldn’t a company do this, keep a five-day work week, and see an increase in productivity?

Even in not refined software: the other day I asked it to, in js, create a table taking (hour, power produced) data from a json response. It managed to come up with an n^2 way of doing what should have been a linear traversal through the json.

What makes you think that people who take Wayne rides aren't automatically rated?
No one in the US is getting opioids for headaches. There are a lot of people in chronic pain in the US (car and motorcycle accidents, workplace accidents, genetic disorders, etc).
I'm glad you've found Claro interesting so far!

I can understand where you're coming from with the split between API and impl. It's certainly something I'm keeping on my radar. Personally I care more about readability than writability so it's not a big issue for me, but I can understand that others would land differently on this point.

One reason that I'm holding out on this (for now) is that I'm actually excited about how this one decision makes it quite easy to express some quite complex patterns using "Build Time Metaprogramming": https://docs.clarolang.com/metaprogramming/code_reuse/reusin....

The whole section is really more of an exploration than it is any sort of strong statement that this is what all Claro code should look like. But it's all fundamentally enabled by this "physical" separation between API and impl.
I don't tip on Lyft. 5 stars. 800 rides.

I don't tip on Uber. 4.89 rating. 700 rides.

I have friends who tip and tbh when I don't get a ride, they don't get a ride and when they get a ride, I get a ride. So obviously the tipping means nothing.

Occasionally I might tip, but only if I got something out of it. And it's rare. I think I might have tipped on 10 out of the 1500 rides.
I've been thinking exactly along these lines myself. I bet a lot of people are thinking that self-driving + electric will bring van life to a whole new level. It may become the reality that a large number of people actually, purposefully, live in self driving vehicles/homes since removing the 'car' part greatly improves the living part.
Because the NSO group handles dollars.

If they didn't respond, they'd lose by default, and the court could order any assets the US can get their hands on seized. If they're getting paid in NIS by countries outside of Israel, the currency conversion happens with dollars as the intermediary. There's the US's window.
The paper[1] ignores cycle life, and assumes that a 1 kWh LiS battery will last equivalently to a 1 kWh NMC battery. That's a big oversight, as the frequency that batteries will need to be replaced is a major factor in their environmental impact. Currently cycle life is an issue for LiS, as well as commercialization in general. Ignoring those, it's not surprising that LiS comes out ahead. Honestly, why not include batteries that are even more experimental, like lithium-air?

The paper also references that "batteries should reach a specific energy of 550 Wh/kg in order to ensure a driving range of 500 km." Someone should tell Lucid that the Air doesn't count. It has a range between 650 km and 825 km, depending on battery options.

Exactly

Just built an ncurses python application in very little time, without knowing anything about ncurses at all

Some iterations can be frustrating and it can’t handle everything, but it saves a ton of time in getting to a productive rhythm with tools you hadn’t used before, it kinda flattens the initial learning curve, which is very nice
IMO, Anti-social is defined in context of and from the perspective of the dominant social structure.

Both individuals and groups who are in opposition and sufficiently disruptive are anti-social, hence the distinction.

Asocial = a loner

Anti-social = against society, either as an individual or group.
Maybe one day you will see the bigger picture.

It sucks because we don't fund it. Europe does fine.
My biggest objection with cars is parking them. It's wasting space dedicated to inefficiency.

Self driving cars have much less use for parking garages in the middle of the city, so I think it's a net-positive.
Hmm, in my (limited) experience, I've seen Waymo being within +/- $1-2 of Uber.

It's not precisely poison, it's an opioid 100x stronger than morphine that can be had for $.001 a dose coming in giant barrels from China marked SUGAR or MSG or whatever the hell. If I am a dealer, it's extremely tempting to try these waters. Unfortunately, most dealers weren't exactly in AP Chem, so they won't have any theoretical legs when it comes to figuring out how to measure 10-50mcg. The fatalities are strictly from crappy street chemistry, as it does not take much at all to make a "good product" a deadly one.

And of course the other temptation is to add it to everything, because man, opioids really are like Pringles. And once they're daily users, it's incredible torture for them to stop. I think the best description of opioid withdrawal . . ok, do you know the fingers on chalkboard sound? The way that feels, sort of a whole-body thing? Imagine that sensation, coming from somewhere inside you, basically all the time.

Another thing: the stories about cops dying from fentanyl fumes, or handling the stuff, or punching junkies, or getting licked or whatever - they're crap. They're all crap. Seriously. There's never been a toxicologically proven incidence of it ever passing the skin, ever, and it's too heavy to aerosolize without deliberately weaponizing the stuff. You might note that users have to punch the spike through their skin. It's just cop stories. If you know cops, you know they love their stories.
Are people really paying $10/month to use GitHub Copilot on hobby projects?
I regularly drive on roads with driverless Waymo cars and they're fine, at least where I live in San Francisco. They do drive the speed limit and, as compared to other drivers, they don't take the same sorts of chances that I see typically taken... which I appreciate. The only discomfort I have with them when I'm in a driving situation (as a driver) is that I find comfort in seeing the other drivers around me see me: if I make eye contact with someone I can hope there is awareness of my presence. That might not be a completely rational thing to get comfortable with... that person may have seen you or seen right through you... but it does ease my emotional tension right or wrong. Natrually, with a Waymo, that can't happen.

But all in all I've not had a problem with them doing anything unexpected or strange when I encounter them on the road. My couple rides in a Waymo at this point over the past several weeks have been great.

Needless to say, I wholeheartedly support their presence on the road and am glad to hear the program is expanding.
Dumb question but does it have a person monitoring in the driver seat? Or are you the only one in the car?
As long as there is competition the prices will be low (eventually). Labor is almost always the most expensive part of any service and these technologies reduce the need for labor considerably.
Thanks. I don’t seem to have the ability to change the link — maybe the curator can fix it.

Provided it’s kept free of moisture wood is an amazing construction material and super strong relative to weight. Provided it’s harvested in a sustainable way it’s also quite “green” relative to other products considering it’s made primarily from CO2 sequestered from the atmosphere.
Just a side node; we don’t actually even know. The glance we get to the stated GPT-4 model is highly censored and hindered so that it can be scaled to millions. What if OpenAI can use the uncencored version with the computing power of those millions devices without restrictions? Is that GPT-4 same as we get by spending $25 month?

AFAIK Apple still doesn't support PWAs. As one example AFAIK, iOS Webkit doesn't support fullscreen mode and orientation so it's impossible to make a landscape game as a PWA. That is supported on Android Firefox and Chrome for like 10 years? And would likely be supported on an alternate browser on iOS

I'm pretty sure there are many other APIs that PWAs want, that native apps have, that Firefox and Chrome offer on Android, but since 3rd party browsers are not supported on iOS, don't exist there.

That to me says Apple doesn't want PWAs.

How is it better than Uber/Lyft?
This is awesome. I think I'd honestly prefer a Waymo from Los Angeles to San Diego over a flight through LAX!
You need an entire rack or two worth of Groq systems to get this performance, because the only memory the system has is on-chip SRAM (220MB). If you're trying to run on a small number of systems, you need local DRAM or HBM, which Groq doesn't have.
