It sounds like your distinction of tabulation vs memoization is similar to the concept of bottom-up vs top-down DP. Bottom-up: build the table up eagerly, top-down: recurse down and fill in the table lazily.
I discovered marimo by chance some months ago and have been surprised by the incredible pace of development. New features are being added constantly and the dev team is incredibly responsive and open. Keep it up!
My stack ranking of Go / Rust along these axes:

* writing # Go > Rust
* reading # Rust > Go
* operate # Go = Rust
* abstraction count # Go >> Rust
# refactoring # Rust >> Go
# testing # Rust > Go
# debugging # Rust >> Go

Obviously these are my own opinions, yours may differ.

The underlying theme here for me: Go is somewhat easier to write right out of the gate but significantly worse to maintain. Once Rust is written it is bulletproof. Refactoring is trivial to a degree that's hard to believe if you haven't done it.

Since code is read and maintained significantly more often than it's written… you can probably guess where I end up.

This is only true for models that are python pickles. gguf doesn't suffer from this.

The ml community needs to move away from pickle files as soon as possible. Worst idea ever.
I moved to i3 as a result of that transition, I think I'll continue remembering.
"of the Decade"? Author using that phrase again, and they're serious about writing off the next 6 years? Will see how that ages.

It might sound a bit old fashioned, but is there a toastmasters chapter near you [1]? It's an organisation dedicated to improving public speaking, but it's actually a lot of fun.

The first half of the meeting is where people give prepared speeches and get evaluated. The second half people have to give a 2 minute talk on an improvised topic.

You'll meet people in a supportive and friendly environment, improve a useful skill, and have lots of fun.

> The first part left me quite underwhelmed

The books are chock full of the various character's internal dialog, and when you make the choice to leave that aspect out, there is quite a bit of richness missing.

This version went the "show, don't tell" route. Visually, its amazing, but so much additional information from the book to help you understand the characters, the groups they belong to, and their motivations was left out.

I think the Sci Fi channel Dune miniseries did the best job of putting across the full richness of the book, albeit with a made for TV budget.
This doesn’t work because it’s equivalent to piping stdout from curl into stdin for man.

Because it's not just the use ternary values. It's also that there are no dot-products; there are only additions. And when we apply both changes to existing LLMs, there's no performance degradation (as tested by the authors).
> just showing up regularly, like same coffeeshop everyday at the same time

I can't emphasize this enough (minus the coffee shop part ;-)). Meeting someone with regularity is how you go from stranger to acquaintance to friend. Pick a hobby (pickleball? Gym? Rock climbing?) and go at the same time on the same days.
The author of EMAN2 is incorrect, I don't know why they claimed that. ChimeraX is probably like Chimera and targets a 30fps but can drop below that significantly based on dataset size and rendering quality. It should be using OpenGL with display lists (or some more modern variant on that). The main loop is likely in Python, but if you're just moving a molecule around, the rendering should touch very little python. On a modern machine with an nvidia gaming card it should be fine.

For example, in this case I loaded 2PLV with "open 2PLV" and on the right side, there's an option to select one of the mmcif assemblies, with select 1 being "complete icosahedral assembly, 60 copies of chains 1-4". With the default ribbon rendering, rotating is completely smooth; with all atoms displayed (wireframe or sphere), it's still smooth. Computing a surface for the entire capsid takes well under a second(!) and still renders smoothly. Rotating shows my GPU (nvidia RTX 3080 Ti) at about 50% utilization, and if I exit Chimera, my GPU's releases ~200MB of memory.

Chimera was never intended to do high quality rendering of cellular environments with many hundreds of proteins. It was intended for a combination of nice rendering and scripting directly in python. VMD definitely handled some extremely large scenarios faster. A dedicated small C++ using modern OpenGL would be able to do far, far more than Chimera when it comes to simple rendering without any scripting control.

Well, I guess I'll have to buy cars from communist countries to get something that doesn't spy on me?

Probably just older used cars and accept the cost of having a shop fix it up, maybe modify it a bit whilst it's there.

My car is from 2012 and I am very reluctant to downgrade to something newer.

I'm with you. My truck is soon going to be a classic by age and I do whatever I can to keep it running. The next one may be even older and modded to get better fuel efficiency. In my opinion the automotive industry has jumped the shark adding widgets nobody asked for. Worse, adding remote telemetry and drive-by-wire that is connected to that remote network. Not even theory, some automotive security enthusiasts got into a bit of trouble a decade ago taking control of a vehicle on a live highway. That will be a never ending game of whack-a-hole just like internet software has been since the beginning with the only difference being real lives of real families are at stake.
Very interesting!

So people that want to own are often reduced to renting, yet people that want to rent can easily sell to do so?

How fascinating.
I'm 40 and think the new one is much much better.
I didn’t see the first one but I’m under the impression that neither of the remakes feature Sting so I’m not sure why people are watching them.
through given how mainstream the switch hardware is you could argue that Yuzu isn't that different to WINE as you don't need to emulate anything but just provide compatible OS interfaces like WINE.

(if running out on ARM, there is still ARM to x86 emulation but that is just generic ARM to x86 emulation which has not that much to do with Yuzo per se)
The real key to that part is to find a local bar and be a regular, so you run into the same people over and over.
I don't. I never enjoyed the company of people over myself. But I do like to 'browse' an environment when I hit a certain threshold of solitude. Living with people is an exercise in escape management. I am almost 40 now, but through out my life I attempted futile attempts to meet ppl as OP is suggesting. Every time I came out in a worst mental state. Some people just need to be alone.
Dune has always been a really difficult adaptation because there is so much internal monologue. It's a great story but a very challenging film.
That’s ironic, considering how much better Arrival and the Blade Runner sequel were than Dune.
I'm a millennial, and my favorite Dune is Jodorowsky's Dune :)
my point was merely that in most cases where "universal object" is used, it could be replaced with "dumbest object such that".
Go was advertised as a systems programming language since day one. Then we went through a phase where Gophers started to redefine what a "systems programming language" is, so this could remain true. Now we're at the point where good programmers know that Go isn't one?

Alas, nothing that interesting. It mined bitcoin for awhile, back when it was feasible to make practically useful quantities of it that way. Never profitably obviously.

Right now, I use it as a 200W space heater I can turn off and on via SSH, just running busyloops. It works well enough for a single car garage in California.
It seems like people come and go a lot so I'm curious how it would be the same Antarctic English described in the Wikipedia article. This video talks about an experiment where it seems like an accent was formed by a new group of people.
That would be my recommendation as well. It doesn't get much easier than a job where people pay to come talk to you.
> I'm curious...when do you think the internet was "good"? What period would you say defines the so-called "golden age" of the internet? Genuinely asking.

The period of time where friction and barriers to entry were high enough to filter out much of the chaff, and the parasites had not yet adapted to exploit everything.

Also I think the internet community itself may be parasitic on other institutions that it is simultaneously destroying. Specifically I'm thinking things like traditional journalism, which is being killed off even though the internet needs it for stuff like Wikipedia.

KDE had exactly that back in its 3.x era, actually. It had a first run wizard that allowed you to choose things like whether you open things with a single or a double click, and options were largely organised based on platforms with similar conventions (as in, it had options like "single click selects, double click opens (Windows style)"). It was remarkably friction-free actually, people could just pick the mode that they were already familiar with and that was that. It had all the good parts of "the right default" (i.e. the "right" default was always the one you liked best) and required exactly one click to configure.
Also easily my favorite. I saw the first episode the night it came out (before I read the book) and remember being blown away. I've liked the other versions too, but not nearly as much.
Nice work, did you start off by looking at any previously built canvas-like spreadsheets or was it straight to "virtualized custom canvas magic"?

I interviewed at a spreadsheet company (for a frontend role) and they asked, "how would you go about determining what cells need a border when a user clicks an individual cell, clicks a cell and selects multiple cells, clicks a cell next to an already selected cell." Fascinating problem and we talked about solutions for a little bit.

Noticed that you can't unselect a cell once it's selected? I'm on a Mac with Chrome (latest, no updates available).

Repo steps:
1. Select a few cells (⌘ + click) or an individual cell
2. Try unselecting (⌘ + click) those same cells clicked in #1
3. Cell is not unselected
It is hyperbole, because you could use it. You would have to be incompetent to not be able to use it.

Unfortunately, it seems they haven't actually made the code, or example games available to try.
Better to use `#if` or `#ifdef` to prevent compilation. C & C++ don't support nested comments, so you can end up with existing comments in the code ending the comment block.

Nah, SicFi is so mainstream that that is not a valid argument anymore.
Plus, they clearly made it for fans. It is barely comprehensible without having read the original.
Scared is a poor word choice.

ORMs can allow for flexibility in database engine choice. They can also prevent some basic mistakes like Bobby Tables. An ORM may rapidly accelerate development.

Ultimately, the answer may be because an ORM/abstraction library is the better choice.

Why not ask these so-called scared developers why they choose to use ORMs?
I'd find an activity that you enjoy (and as other people have suggested) find folks to do it with through meetup etc.

The "enjoy" part was pretty key for me - as I feel like it's really hard not to be my best self when I'm having fun and more focused on the activity than making a good impression. I also tend to do well at things I enjoy, and that gives a helpful little self-esteem boost.

It also goes without saying that's its materially preferable in many cases. But for a business preferable generally comes down to profitable. The point I was driving at is that by withdrawing subsidies from these industries we can nudge the trade off point to a place that more often selects for environmental options.
I've seen literally none of those arguments advanced by any of the transit advocates I follow, and I've only seen the argument for free public transit secondhand (i.e., the advocates I follow are discussing the argument and decide against it).

Most of the transit advocacy I see is based on the fact that US public transit systems need to, in general, be more rationale, and focus on supporting things like high-frequency all-day travel (and rush-hour-peak-direction-only transit is effectively a farce of transit), or more coherent bus routes or better integration between different systems to alleviate capacity bottlenecks (hi NYC Penn Station). And an awful lot of the-system-is-rotten-and-people-need-to-be-canned (I mean, when you have a front-row seat to the WMATA meltdown, it's hard not to have that sentiment).
Let's hope. Though vertical integration always invites suspicion.
Ahh, it's probably the 545 or 550 drivers then. They shouldn't be causing issues either.

The nouveau driver is likely to have performance problems (compared to the official one), but if that's not an issue then it's worth trying. :)
I was extremely impressed by and thoroughly enjoyed "part one".

As far as I known there are no surprises on Hetzner, they're a solid company, not one of the shady ones that bill on usage without limits.
Bars. That's literally what they're made for — not only to socialise with people you already know, but also to meet new ones and make conversation to them.
Agreed that the SciFi channel miniseries of Dune is top notch.

There’s also a Children of Dune miniseries with the same cast.

Catch is when I wanted to watch it last these couldn’t be streamed anywhere legally. So I bought them on dvd from fleabay.

This feels like something many hobbies share. The more obscure, the more likely you are to run into the weirdos and "edge cases" who are, well, poorly socialized, I guess. But you also get to meet the weirdos and edge cases who are tremendously interesting!

agree, Dune for me was one, Inception being another. I liked Moon(small budget but excellent), interstellar was ok. And thats about it.
If you're saying everyone should agree on the same IDE and personal development toolset, I disagree, sort of.

The GP was suggesting the effort to add CI, linters, fuzzing, auto-formatting, etc was too hard.
If that can be abandoned entirely, perhaps the legacy codebase isn't providing enough value,
and the effort to maintain it would be better spent replacing it.
But the implication is that the value outweighs the costs.

Put all the linters, fuzzing, and format checking in an automated build toolchain.
Allow individuals to work how they want, except they can't break the build.
Usually this will reign in the edge cases using inadequate tools.
The "built on my machine, with my IDE, the way I like it and it works" is no longer the arbiter of correct,
but neither does the organization have to deal with the endless yak shaving over brace style and tool choice.
I do appreciate the feedback. (And I should mention that there is a supplement to the thermodynamics article that this post is about which goes through some numerical experiments; you can see it here: https://nicf.net/articles/toy-thermodynamic/.) I do think that this may just be a situation where the thing I made isn't the thing you wanted, which is fine, but I can say a little bit about why I made the decisions I made.

The audience that I had in mind for these pieces is mostly people who've had some amount of training in pure math; it came about because I felt (and still feel) like a lot of the existing resources for this stuff aren't presented in a way that lines up well with the way that people with that training often like to absorb information.

Speaking for myself, I don't think I would enjoy reading an article about the Feynman path integral that's full of tables and graphs with results of numerical experiments. My reaction to a piece like that would be "Okay, that's nice, but can you please just say what mathematical objects we're even talking about here first?" It sounds like you have the opposite set of expectations, which is totally fine, and that probably just means these aren't the articles for you, but there (I hope!) are also other people whose expectations are more in alignment with the presentation I went for. I don't think either of us is "wrong"; our preferences are just different.
Glad to hear it. I'm leaving to go see it 45 minutes from now.

I'm 44 and I think Lynch'n Dune is better, because it has soul. The first movie was very sterile and lifeless. I commented about it here a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38980303
Not sure if that's true. Soda has tripled in the last few years mostly just due to corp greed and realizing people are very stuck (addicted?) to their preferred flavors. Pepsi and Coke are competitors but not substitutes.

> the benchmark is Excel

That's certainly true among a subset of users who demand Excel power features, but it is not a universal benchmark. People who more highly value collaboration might prefer Google Sheets. There are tons of users and use cases where the choice of local storage is irrelevant or even a drawback.
I think movies these days struggle to compete with serialized television shows which can run very long, allowing a lot more opportunity for character and plot development. Dune also just has a lot to cover. See the Lynch adaptation for what happens when you start to push against the inherent runtime limitations of film.
Huh - that makes sense then. I didn't consider the "limited liability" part of it :).
I met my wife in a coffee shop.

But... Not by talking to her in the coffee shop. For several years I would go to this one particular coffee shop damn near every day and would work from there for several hours.

Money bubble
I’ve been waiting for Hetzner to allow adding credits into one’s account using credit cards or debit cards (or other modes like PayPal). Being outside Germany (and the EU), a bank transfer is not possible or is difficult and prohibitively expensive.

Hetzner also didn’t seem to support credits across all its services when I checked a few years ago.
My friend in grad school was in Ron's group. He built a microscope that visualized individual kinesin molecules and measured their speed using fluorescent labelling. The whole thing was held together with a bunch of scripts written in LabView. Ron had oodles of money and was able to support long-term software development of open source software like MicroManager, which gives a common interface to a wide range of microscopy software.

The systems he studies are literally little motors that can attach to biological surfaces and drive around in specific directions, pick up payloads, and then drive to other places. They work in very different way from how humans engineer tiny motors and understanding/engineering their behavior was a major focus in the early 2000s.
At a prior company I'd occasionally lease dedicated servers from INAP (now calling that part of their business HorizonIQ after bankruptcy and reorg) - https://www.horizoniq.com/services/compute/bare-metal/

Their business was always a bit chaotic but the technical side of the organization was competent. We were colo'd in one of their datacenters so it was nice to be able to rent additional capacity in the same facility. Servers were manually provisioned, but manageable as you'd expect via online portal after provisioning was complete.

So... not a glowing recommendation I guess, given their corporate instability? But a recommendation nonetheless, the corporate instability never impacted our technical operations and the product was good.
