I think it's fair enough? The discrepancy between a few years and 17 months is outside the realm of ordinary casual imprecision, so it seems like the author made a mistake one way or the other. I'm kind of curious now about how long it really took, and whether they just made a typo or the last year and a half felt like years to them.

I found it to be a good pedagogical tool. In terms of actual use cases, maybe something like rsync'ing a large directory where only a few files have changed? It starts to get pretty contrived though.
>This is trying to communicate animation curves.

It's trying to communicate how to, among other things, apply animation curves to UI, just read it: "I use it for ... moving UI elements," "Speaking of UI, say"

I know it's easier to discuss generic things re. some Terra Design Incognita after erasing all of these specific details, but they do exist in the text even if you try to ignore context!

You're substituting assumption for knowledge (they aren't and they do, and I know my experience better than whatever you can imagine about someone else) and an answer to a specific question for yet another generalization. Is Apple part of the vast majority? Check my other comment re. how the fundamental slider flaws appear in that impeccably unnoticeable design

And here you go again, incapable of demonstrating the value of a supposedly good general concept to address a general challenge in a case of a slider, instead veering off into an assessment of some generic group that's not present in this conversation.
don't think about it. It will stress you out, it's called anxiety because of the fear of the unknown. I won't get into the details but once again it's not about worthy or not, just discuss with him, tell him what you think / feel and see where this is going. If it's going to happen it will, since you can't control it ATM you are just adding more pressure on you and the relationship.

I like methods of this flavour, pioneered as I understand it by Fabio Petroni. Very elegant, particularly because you can change the distribution over substrings in O(params) time instead of O(index size).

What's funny about them is that it's a fairly involved procedure that turns your language model into an actual stochastic parrot, both showing that such a model useful and demonstrating that the original parrot concept was rather ill conceived.

I suppose hiring an SEO agency to do marketing is like hiring a painter to remodel a house to sell it.

You sort of already decided what you want to focus on. But maybe the remodeling needs other things first, e.g. someone to clear out the stuff to clear the pathways, add new furniture, redo some of the floors, redo the tiles in the bathroom.

Same with the site, maybe you need someone to optimize the web site performance, maybe you need to create a funnel and several landing pages, maybe more marketing in LinkedIn groups.

SEO is important, but it should be part of a holistic approach towards marketing.

And if it looks spammy to you, it most likely is. I'd stop the cooperation immediately to prevent further reputational damage. Don't just check page views, but also if people are staying longer, clocking through the site, ordering anything, etc.

Indeed it is weird to theorize why somebody should switch if they trusted the process to be random. There's no reason to. And if I'm not sure about the process, indeed I may want to stick with my choice. I was wondering how a study would control for this. One could make a group where the price was shared with the person doing the shuffling. If people in that group were more inclined to switch, it would indicate that they don't trust the process to be random.

I had an idea for a similar project. Basically, a tabletop drum kit. In this case, you’d tap on a few objects on the table that make distinct sounds and then map that back to a virtual drum kit in your DAW using midi. I never got around to building it, but I am still keen on the idea.
> 1. in general, algorithms tend to slow down on small problems in exchange for the asymptotic speedup -- so you probably don't want to use this algorithm for anything that fits in memory (or perhaps the solar system)

This is not necessary true and very much depend on specifics of an algo. Some improvements could be very applicable for quite normally sized tensors. For example, Winograd algorithm is quite often a routine choice for 3x3xc convolutions.

> 2. in specific, asymptotically fast matrix multiplication tend to be numerically unstable.

This should be investigated in each particular case of an algorithm, but numeric stability is indeed a major concern for a practitioner. I skimmed very superficially through the article but didn't notice mentions of that.

How to migrate data off PlanetScale in 5 minutes
Regarding "A final optimization", there's another way:

`_mm256_cmpeq_epi32` produces `0xFFFFFFFF`, the article suggests shifting to produce a `1` and then add.

Instead you can interpret `0xFFFFFFFF` as negative one, and subtract. That saves a shift.

Flip the sign when accumulating.

In general I think this is a pretty common counting trick. I don't think those shift operations even exists for epi8, so there you really need to use it to avoid reduction to a narrow register. Also, in the case of epi8 you need to deal with overflow, so the pattern is like this in pseudo code:

v[1:32] = 0
total = 0
for j = 0 to N / 256
for i = 0 to 255
v[1:32] -= cmpeq(..., ...)
end
total += sum(v)
end
He said "The worst car I've ever reviewed". So the worst of 50 or so vehicles.

He did not say "the worst car ever". I doubt that he has reviewed a circa 2005 Chery Subcompact. And if so, there's no relevance at all.

His reviews are good in the modern EV space. The more relevant omission - vehicles that might actually be worse, but which he has not reviewed yet - would be any vehicles made by Vinfast.

Can you share any insight on latency? I feel that, while a prolly tree has the same big O bounds as a BTree, there are extremely large constant factors involved.

In the benchmark of their new storage engine that they published on their blog they had read operations take 3us and write operations take 96 us for in-memory workloads.

That's an order of magnitude slower than what I get from a persistent trie implementation that uses unicity to achieve node hashability (instead of the other way around as in a prolly tree).[1]

I could imagine that this becomes less pronounced in the durable on-disk case, as storage bandwidth and latency become the dominating factors?

This might be an interesting project. "Type safe RPC" is not a great description to lead with as remote procedure calls have a large amount of negative associations that have little to nothing to do with static type systems.

I think it's a distributed language runtime where you write functions in typescript and the runtime deals with passing data between machines.

The website is quite good at presenting the system as a nice thing that does nice things and you should like it and it's all very nice. It does a very poor job of convincing me that it works properly. I'd want to know how the scheduler works and how it handles mutable state in the presence of network partitions.

Also just found a caveat which amounts to they've got the implementation wrong:

> Arguments must be JSON serializable. This means that you can pass strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, and null. You cannot pass functions, promises, or other non-serializable objects

> Apprenticeship has been a successful training model for many hundreds of years.

Is this meant as a proof that however it's done now is perfect? There are many tweaks one can make to the model to make it less lopsided and still keep the fundamental apprenticeship model. I am willing to bet that if you look at how it's done around the globe there are many ways of doing apprenticeship where the power balance is different, and historically it's probably also been practiced in many different ways.
Companies are bunch of people who come together to do something with their time and resources, you can check the documents that bring the companies into existence.

When Nestle tries to hook babies to a baby formula in order to exploit their parents for profit, that's not Nestle doing it - it's the workers at Nestle doing it. The legal ecosystem might or might not hold these people responsible depending on the jurisdiction but that doesn't change who is actually choosing to do it or not.

It is also nothing wrong with attempting to influence the actions of these people and its also normal to get fired for this. Even if you fail to influence those people, in retrospect you elevate the chances for these people to be deeply ashamed of and insulated from the society because of their choices. You can at least deny them the privilege of going around, giving speeches and get applause at the age when they have all the money they need and crave for the recognition for their achievements, love of people and want to believe that their lives were not waisted. Even if you can't take away their penthouses, you can make them cry in these penthouses.

It is a good practice to shame people because it is one of the motivator for their actions.

Such a great find! I wonder, how long did it take you to go from idea to launch? Did you worry about the implementation or are you going to do it manually at first? Anyways, great idea, really hope it works out!
Some open source types really hate vendoring on some level (it's hard to say if it's genuinely technical or just an immune system turning on) — not everything supports it that well (e.g. python really doesn't, it's terrible), but when you have it working it's so nice for the things you mention.

We had a build fail for a few days because a git commit with a given hash didn't exist upstream. Solution? Pin to a branch of course! Vendoring as that solution takes a surprisingly deep realignment.
Laws in the US require all cars have a reversing camera. That in turn requires all cars have a colour screen. That's quite expensive, but necessary to meet the law.

> Brutal if this is primarily due to one bad review from a social media influencer

Improbable. The bad review can't help, especially now as the back-and-forth is getting even more publicity, but Fisker's issues were known beforehand.

They are a small startup, with limited means (they have to outsource manufacturing to a company called "Magna") in a now crowded space, with big hungry Chinese companies moving in, slow sales, limited name recognition, and a buggy product.

Does their product stand out, in a good way? or does it come across as half-baked and gimmicky?

It's in a space where people do expect support for years from an established company, so even mentioning "limited runway" will alarm potential buyers.

And rising interest rates, so it's now harder to get more financing. The smaller, less successful companies in the crowded space will either go under or get bought up.

See this from May 2023, it was Known: https://www.teslarati.com/fisker-massive-earnings-miss-q1-20...

I don't see the financial, sales and product quality issues as being all that separate, each one impacts the others.

This one bad review (which is not the first bad review) is merely a focus of attention on the deeper issues.

Years ago you used to be able to open .r3d files after hex editing the magic header numbers with a generic jpeg2000 codec, but that's no longer the case with more modern variations of the file format (they encrypt it), but obviously the core image compression is still fairly similar (wavelets), but it's not like you got high-quality YCrCb data out of the .r3d file that way anyway (as you would if it was a true jpeg2000 file), you'd need to de-bayer it first (hence the two green channels you get, which effectively give it twice the resolution for green - somewhat similar to Chroma encoding like 422).
De-growth is a suicide pact. It's not worth entertaining because it isn't a serious idea.

Given that I don't know what you do, that might be a completely reasonable solution, in your case.

My background is being woken up at 3AM by alert of call for systems where I have less that 100% familiarity and is asked to troubleshot. Looking at a hexdump for a format I don't know is not all that helpful. Seeming a mangled XML document, or reading the JSON output from an API call can frequently be enough to know if I need to call a developer, or if I can work with the client and fix the data.

Binary formats are absolutely a valid solution of a number of problems and if it works in your context there's no reason to change it.

> A “shift panorama” is a very simple panorama as you don’t need any accessories like a rotating plate and you won’t be running into stitching errors

I have a panorama head (Manfrotto 303SPH). It's enormous, weights around 3kg and... I never use it.

In my experience, Lightroom does an extremely good job at stitching panoramas from handheld shots, as long as there is reasonable overlap between shots. Seems to work perfectly every time.
Your situation is not the same for everyone, though. It should instead be more carefully worded, "[We didn't] need any more resources for SAT." Imagine the more extreme case of a student who took it first try and got a perfect score. You wouldn't necessarily expect everyone else to be able to do the same.

Being on this site, you're probably someone who values education. And you probably raised your kids to be capable. Or maybe they just lucked out and got the correct weights to succeed in that particular scenario, but you can't assume that the situation for everyone is the same as you!

Many people simply can't learn by just doing practice tests and watching videos. If it were so easy, then we wouldn't need teachers or schools in general. Mentorship and guidance are important, and it's the reason why so many people want to get into universities in the first place.

Essentially, yes you can do without, but having it helps. Overall, that would create a disparity that favors more wealthy people.
