Based on some rough ballpark conservative estimates (one server with 2 A100 at $50000; 50 tokens/s one one of those servers; so 10 of those servers), upfront cost with consumer hardware seems to be 1/10 to 1/20 of what the Groq hardware costs. I would guess that realistically cloud providers can probably achieve half to 1/3 of that price

So unless you need the fast latency of Groq, consumer hardware seems to be a lot cheaper for the same thoughput.
This looks far faster than TVM's one?!
Contrary to what some of the replies imply (that a smooth animation is always better than a discrete one), I have a solid example where animation definitely harms the UX.

One of the language apps (either Hemingway or grammarly) had this issue stepping through search results. As you moved, it would change the colour of the matching text, but slowly and subtly, via animation. That makes it much, much harder to actually spot where, in a wall of text, the match actually is. An instant change is far more visible.
I've been part of universities for 9 years from undergrad to PhD. I was only able to reflect on this system after I left.

Universities always have been a system for selecting people who can keep it running in the future. So the first day as a freshman kicks off a test of serveral years if you're a fit. That's why we have different levels of degrees. People can drop out without much sunk costs. Otherwise only very few would try this journey and then the base for selecting good people would be low.

What I mean with good people who keep it running has changed a lot.
Historically, universities didn't have to justify themselves much. For governments, it was obvious because they provided knowledge gain, and, primarily, they provided well-educated people to work for the government. So universities selected the best people because they would become the next generation of teachers or drop out as educated governmental workers.

Nowadays, the government and the public want to see research results (for funding) because this is supposed to be the purpose of universities. I think this is a misunderstanding and universities took part in creating it. So the people universities select for now are still good students but also ones that play by the new rules and crank out as many papers as possible.

My main obstacle during the PhD was to adapt to a research style of looking up fashionable topics in the research community, writing an incremental paper und publishing it. My advisor even objected against some ideas because they're too risky.
Wi Tu Lo. That one was totally bogus.
"At their best, comments in code are wasted effort."

Surely the "why" for anything non-obvious should be written down just as much as the code shows the "what"?

Talking about comments as "wasted effort" sounds like you view them just as something added at the end to please a manager, rather a tool to help you write correct code in the first place.

For UI elements that try to replicate the physical world, such as toggles, switches, even some buttons, I find it that the animation makes the UI easier for the brain to understand.

This, but set closer to 200 or 100 ms (and for me, swapping the translate 8 and 18 so that the switch barely moves on mouseDown, because that's damn close to a real switch's behavior). This seems like it could be a good compromise to all of the people complaining about lag and others who understand that the visual system is powerful and movement is a huge part of that. Also, it's relatively simple as far as CSS animations go!

Maybe there's a US pendant that could say the same. Consumer Reports or something. Lobbying for regulation might be hard, getting CR to subtract points might be easy enough.
There are mnemonics to help remember the characters. For example:

- 嫉 (jealousy) is composed of 女 (woman) and 疾 (illness, hatred): jealousy is a feminine illness or a manifestation of feminine hatred;

- 惑 (to be puzzled) is composed of 心 (heart, intention) 或 (maybe, possibility): an unsure heart;

- 愚 (to be stupid) is composed of 心 (heart, intention) 禸 (trample) 田 (field): the heart of someone who tramples a field (and thus ruining the crops);

etc.

You often have to be creative. If I understand the research correctly[0], finding such interpretations used to be common, and different people would debate different interpretations.

I've actually wrote a tool to help studying Chinese from that perspective, by allowing to read classics such as the Thousand Character Classic[1], and systematically decomposing characters.

As a benign Internet phenomenon, I personally don't get memes. At all. I see how some people might like them, I understand the jokes, but they just don't entertain me and the lack of originality (inherent to the format) irks me. Whenever someone puts up an otherwise excellent piece of writing on some topic and includes memes to 'lighten it up', I struggle to fight the automatic impulse to disqualify the author.

I severely dislike the way a lot of memes use images or videos of people caught on camera doing something odd or stupid, who in the worst case end up being ridiculed for years by millions of strangers just because they looked silly.

But the concept of memes is exploited in an explicitly malign manner too. Anyone who has come across that type of meme knows what I mean; the thought terminating clichés which push one or another form of hate by means of seemingly innocent ridicule and jocularity. Anti-Semitic, trans-hate, gay-hate, political mudslinging, dehumanizing of refugees. Often you can't even tell which are the output of genuine troll factories like the one in Saint Petersburg, or just edgy teenage shrieking. These hitch a ride along in the broader meme culture, and for enabling that type of discourse alone I personally hate the whole concept of memes.

I think the damage they do and have done as a delivery vehicle for hate to society worldwide is severely underestimated, and we lack defence mechanism against this phenomenon.

<meme ref"Old man yells at cloud"/>

(The fact that this jest will accurately identify one specific image to 95% of the readers is in itself testament to the effectiveness of memes as a viral vector for societal diseases (i.e., hate) as well.)
few things in the world are perceived as instantaneous, except maybe lightning. until recently people were not used to interacting with instantaneous objects. even a checkbox, in its original incarnation with pen and paper, would take a second to be filled. as long as the animation is interruptible, and the underlying change happens quickly (whatever the toggle is controlling) then animating the transition is usually better. I really like that their animation is interruptible.

Is it really that hard to write sensible comments?

Well, after a few decades writing software, I've come to the conclusion that yes, yes it is. But just because it can be hard to write a good comment it doesn't mean you need to agonise over it.

Here are a few "simple" examples:

// Once we receive the cancellation ack, we should automatically send the updated flow
if (releasedFlow.Status == ReleasedFlowStatus.IndicativeCancelled)
{
await _mediator.Send(new SendFlowCommand ...

It should be pretty clear from the context that that's what is happening and it doesn't explain why. This is because it would take multiple paragraphs to explain. Could I just post a link to the documentation about this business rule? Yes, but the location of the said documentation changes so often it can render the comment useless. Could I change it to say something like "Please refer to the documentation"? Sure, but then why don't I put that comment behind every piece of business logic? No, the simple purpose of this comment is just that - a comment on what the business rule was at the time of writing, especially with respect to the other possibilities. You can spend ages overthinking this but there's no point. Just read, understand and move on.

What about this:

if (foo)
{
DoFoo();
}
else if (bar)
{
DoBar();
}
else
{
// Intentionally empty
}

Dead code with a comment that explains nothing. Is this code better with or without the dead code and comment? I'd argue that the code is better with it. In fact, this is a well-known technique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentionally_blank_page

Yes, you can argue that the coder should explain why it's blank. But this depends on the context, and who the intended audience is. Again, no need to overthink it. Read it, modify it if you really think it's necessary (keeping in mind that the alternative is often no comment or empty else statement), and move on with your life.

I like the "visual abstraction" vs "visual representation" distinction, and agree with your point that Flyde falls into the latter.

Regarding parallelism and asynchronicity, Flyde manages to answer that need. You simply connect 2 nodes in parallel - for example - https://imgur.com/a/GJewFHd this fetches data from 2 apis, maps them and collects them into a new object. It's low-level for sure, but parallelism and asynchronicity are completely spatial. Do you mean it in a different way?

I can imagine how 1 meeting with HR would help weeding out people for junior and early senior positions with little requirement in terms of CV. You could get a couple thousand applicants there. For sure.

However, I can not imagine a situation that would ever call for 2 or more meetings. Nor can I visualize any circumstance where a meeting with HR would help with highly specialized position hiring.

Once your job description calls for 5+ years of experience, a master's or even a PhD, maybe a certificate or two and even publications on the field, there should not be more than a couple hundred applicants. Not even a hundred to be honest. And every one of those claims can be verified by manual online searches or automated tools. Furthermore, the only way of verifying the applicants actually know about those subjects is a meeting with a fellow engineer.
By disabling user input the application security actually gets worse. Users that can’t copy e.g. passwords will use less complex passwords to overcome the trouble of typing in their initially good passwords. But also user experience is degrading when applications enforce complex input and users generate that input like a chad as they should. But now they cannot paste…
In this context "stable" means the thing it means in statistical process control, i.e. the operational definition of no measurements outside of 2.66 times the mean consecutive difference between observations.

It is a problem -- particularly for software -- that SPC tools do not work with subexponential distributions, but it's separate from the observation that when SPC determines that a process is stable, rougly half of measurements will lie above the average.
The bottleneck in those is not the arithmetic operation but the memory bandwidth once you have to spill your matrix out of SRAM.

"Many equipment providers grew businesses, often summarized as “picks and shovels” suppliers."

NVidia.

The "AI boom" may take longer to get from today's "sort of works" to "works really well". Look at self-driving cars. 20 years ago, they sort of worked in the DARPA Grand Challenge. But most of the self-driving car companies flopped. Waymo has ground through to limited success, but not profitability. Probably around 10 years out, self-driving cars will be profitable.

What we have as LLM-type AI now is kind of like that. It's fun when it works, but too flaky to trust. There's a market for that, but it's mostly in ads and "assistants" that have to be checked by humans. This limits scaling and utility. We need AI systems that are clear on what they know and what they don't know, and don't "hallucinate" or get lost, before they can be trusted to do things on their own. And ways to keep the AI slaves subservient (the "alignment" problem.)
Those are easier problems than ones already solved, but they are not solved yet.

Only if you're interpreting my comment to be a criticism . I never used the word "but" nor intended to detract from the significance of his work; it was not suggestion that Toriyama Akira's work could be improved (i.e. by being less male centric).

And no, that was not my initial reaction. If it was, I would have left a top level comment to this end. I did leave a top level comment, recognizing his other work Dragon Quest (since Dragon Ball is already recognized by this HN audience). My comment, again, is a specific nitpicking of OP's claim.

I never said it was not okay.
I think you're conflating SHELL with TERM because the OS has nothing to do with what hot keys your terminal emulator supports (the OS wouldn't dictate hot keys available for shells either, but popular Linux distros don't tend to default to Zsh like macOS does).

A terminal emulator is the software application you use to bring the command prompt up. So a terminal emulator is operating system agnostic.

Granted there are some macOS only terms out there like iTerm2 and Apples own Terminal. Just as there are terminals that haven't (as far as I'm aware) been ported to macOS, like xterm. But there's plenty of cross platform terminal emulators too, in fact most are cross platform.

> Dragon ball was definitely the show that popularized Japanese animation in the west

In Italy, Dragon Ball was first aired in 1989.

I watched it because it was from the "Dr. Slump guy" that had been aired in 1983, and I had fallen madly in love with it.

I've bought and read both manga later on, in the 90s.

Over the years Dragon Ball has become immensely more popular than Dr. Slump, but I'm fond of the first two chapters (Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z), I didn't actually enjoy much anything past Cell.

This is a huge market.

Sure, maybe AI isn't going to replace 95% of white collar workers overnight. But it doesn't have to.

In order to still be extremely disruptive, all it has to do is make these workers twice as productive. Work that is "checked by a human", can still be a massive speedup, combined with a human.

Weird Ruby: The Double Aliased Enumerable Method
Sweden and Finland came as a pack so lets talk about both of them.
Benefits:

It completely neutralizes the Russian Baltic Fleet.

The only railway line supporting Murmansk is less than 200km beyond the finnish border, which means the Nordic Fleet is also compromised.

Potential disadvantages of additional members are added political instability as can be seen with Hungary and Turkey. There is little chance of this with both countries.

Basically you dont defend members, you defend borders and adding Finland and Sweden to the pact makes for a far easier and better developed front. The Finns have been building bunkers and training their population for the next Russian invasion since WW2.

Having Finland as a member strengthens the position of the Baltics, who are threatened by the Suwalki corridor.

Basically it strengthens and stabilizes the northern border to Russia/Belarus.
