Doctors very much charge for time. By definition, their work doesn't scale. But because of their immense training, they get to charge _a lot_ for that time.

The same is true in law. Just because you have 10,000 hours of training doesn't mean you aren't billing by the hour.

This is why there are many many doctor and attorney millionaires and very few doctor/attorney billionaires.
I'm not really sure who is supposed to be the contrarian in this particular instance of that game in your view, but here I feel that this person neither is trying to punish me for contrary views or express any of their own, but is merely repeatedly nitpicking my phrasing without engaging with the substance of the comments they're replying to, a widespread mode of argumentation that I find as annoying as it is vapid

I thought this would be interesting though the sample size looks small which gave me a bit of a pause. The author is a professor of Statistics so might be interesting to critique his approach or if people have access to a broader dataset evaluate that using similar methods or compare to other conflicts. The topic of what methods could be used to validate this sort of data is also interesting. The numbers from the conflict are extremely important because they influence how people perceive the conflict and the only numbers we get are essentially from one of the belligerents, Hamas.

DrawIO feature to save editable PNGs (embedded diagram source code) is absolutely magical.

The tool is quite basic, until you realize, you can create reusable blocks (in scratchpad) with predifened style.

From that point on you just publish editable PNGs to git and draw them rather quickly by dropping in predefined blocks.

If you really want to start from the beginning, get “Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap” by David Gingery.

Quoting the description from Amazon (link below)…

“[It] is a progressive series of seven projects. Beginning with a simple charcoal fired foundry, you produce the castings for building the machine tools to equip your shop. Initially the castings are finished by simple hand methods, but it is not long before the developing machines are doing much of the work to produce their own parts.”

I mean that it's often difficult to take older projects like this and properly replicate the environment with all dependencies.

The point about the C used in the kernel drifting could be relevant, but with this sort of project I'm more concerned initially with reproducing results and then moving forward.
Hey, great idea! Thank you!

I do think the paradigm of intellectual property is fundamentally broken, but you can't claim we're post-scarcity for knowledge when vast swaths of the economy are knowledge work and economic viability is still a requirement to live

I don't even think you can have "post-scarcity" dynamics in a piecemeal manner like this, because any erosion of scarcity is an erosion of value in an environment that is ruled by economic paradigms that equate the two
I highly doubt that we will delegate our most essential part as humans to manchines in the near future, and that is making tough decisions.

Though, one could argue that many micro tasks, such as selecting a word for writing business mails, have been successfully taken care of by ChatGPT or other services. But what really hasn't changed is the threshold of fully accepting these machine generated contents. There is still a human behind the desk that makes a tough decision to whether or not to press the send button or trigger a nuclear football.

However, I do admit that mails and nuclear weapons are not on the same scale. Over time, passes by these "tough" decisions that need to be made will be conquered bottom-up.

How input buffering works [video]
Just out of curiosity, why is the below example more git-friendly than the above? Smaller deltas? (and if so: why?)
Not directly, but I think it could be an alternative to the carry flag present on most CPU architectures (today that means x86 and ARM, and also historically pretty much anything else that was at all significant).

The much-hyped RISC-V is one of the few that doesn't have a flag register, because it's been claimed to be a performance bottleneck - in my somewhat heretical opinion, the actual reason is that its designers are deluded into thinking that C and UNIX are as fundamental to software as transistors are to hardware, and thus anything beyond what's needed to support that environment is not worth implementing.

But an extra bit per register would be like having a separate carry flag for each, potentially solving some problems with parallelization and also allowing checks for integer overflow at the point a value is stored into memory or used in a subsequent operation.

Having some kind of carry flag enables various programming tricks that can also be useful for SWAR, for example subtract-with-carry of a register with itself will either set or clear all bits.

Running a business is perfectly acceptable. Paid tools, likewise, as perfectly acceptable. Granted, most of software is built directly or indirectly on free work either of the intellectuals that discovered the foundational knowledge required to build it or of the engineers that built the tools.

What’s not acceptable is the rug-pull of presenting something as free and trying to claw back money from the endeavor after you’ve got users locked in. If you need money, don’t offer a free product. If you offer a free product, make sure you can afford it.

No one is going to judge you for charging the worth of your offering. However, you’re also not going to get free goodwill and advertising for no reason.

Spend your time and energy wisely, that is your personal responsibility.
Not at all. They are regularly testing interceptors, and more often then not they hit (e.g. test from December '23 [1]) And they don't use flak (an exploding projectile that produces a small cloud of shrapnel), they use a solid kill vehicle, so they achieve the proverbial bullet on bullet thing.

A proper deadman's switch can't just be a button - you could weight it down, or just fall asleep on top of it. Trains commonly use a pedal you have to hold down halfway. Not sure this is really the best idea though, as pilots typically need both hands (and usually feet) free to actually, you know, control the plane.

That's not impossible, but the pilots' limbs are already largely "spoken for" by other controls and tasks, so it would be a harsh tradeoff.
Autopilot and autoland have been around for a while, but they still need to be set up by the pilot, only operate under certain conditions, and autoland in particular only works at some airports. This is probably not a solution, not for quite a while at least.
This sounds like a good solution.

Think of it like prepping your inner landscape for a "vehicle rollover".

From your post, it's a bit unclear what your background is. Were you a tech worker for a non-tech company trying to get into more interesting tech? That would make a bit more sense with the context you have given.

If this is literally your first tech job, and you expect it would possibly take you another 15 months to find another one, I would think very hard about leaving it.

In either case, I would definitely give it more than a week. I personally would say 90 days minimum. If it's clear then that is not a fit, then I would look for another position in the same city. Perhaps you could get the new place to cover your relocation as a condition of employment since you'd be having to pay it back.

I haven't looked at the problem closely enough to answer, but could we start from the other direction: what makes you think that memory I/O would be the bottleneck?

From my limited understanding, we sequentially bring a large text file into L1 and then do a single read for each value. On most processors we can do two of these per cycle. The slow part will be bringing it into L1 from RAM, but sequential reads are pretty fast.

We then do some processing on each read. At a glance, maybe 4 cycles worth in this optimized version? Then we need to write the result somewhere, presumably with a random read (or two?) first. Is this the part you are thinking is going to be the I/O bottleneck?

I'm not saying it's obviously CPU limited, but it doesn't seem obvious that it wouldn't be.

Edit: I hadn't considered that you might have meant "disk I/O". As others have said, that's not really a factor here.
For fun, of course ;)

First sentence of the abstract: "Skiplists have become prevalent in systems."

They have? I've always viewed them as a curiosity. They're a ton easier to understand than balanced trees and have the same performance behavior, which sounds great. But the allocation mess[1] makes them lose to RB or AVL trees in, basically every system I can think of. Is any major software using skiplists as a standard ordered container or map?

[1] You either need to pay for Log2(N) pointers per item, or allocate them from a heap with variable header sizes. Both of those choices are really pessimal when compared with fixed-size metadata. Skiplists pretty much can't be intrusive, for example.

Absolutely agree. Being able to analyze and summarize reviews like this will make reviews much more useful. Especially given star ratings have become nearly pointless over the last few decades. Once polished, I should be able to do cool things like filter out all the reviews from people angry about their delivery service, or change the star ratings to a 1-10 score based on what was actually said. And certainly summaries of large sets of reviews as you say, ideally filtered on criteria such as region.

That’s true, but there are plenty of other options. For example, a dead-man switch could:

Send an alert via transponders that it has been activated.

Maintain level flight but avoid terrain. (After a waiting period in which a pilot can deactivate this feature.) Or descend to a safe altitude if cabin pressure is lost.

Activate a mode in which the plane could be remotely flown or directed to land itself.

Alert flight crew that the pilots are incapacitated.

Or the most basic: make some noise to wake up the pilots.
Well... You can. Sleep deprivation is one hell of a drug. After ~23h on a plane without sleep, I slept through a fire alarm at a hotel. It's unlikely that both pilots and other staff would ignore it, but "no one can sleep to" threshold is not that low.

Yes, that is that I mean. All the modern "ChatGPT" style API's use this, so if you're building anything that invokes them you can choose between buffering the entire response and modifying/relaying it once complete, or building up a toolchain of streaming-capable utilities.

Of all the http-client applications I tested (Curl, Postman, Insomnia, Bruno), somewhat hilariously Curl has the best support. It will output all 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' with line-by-line buffering, whereas Postman only supports responses precisely following the `Content-Type: text/event-stream` format (strictly less powerful than curl, as this format requires newlines in between events, and a bunch of overhead on top of that). The others buffer the entire response before displaying anything.

The `Content-Type: text/event-stream` format is fine enough, but I personally prefer to just plainly chunk the responses and let the client choose whether to buffer them into memory and operate on the entire value at once, or interpret them live as the chunks come in. With tools like gjp-4-gpt (Gradual JSON Parser 4 GPT's) you can even interpret partial JSON objects live as they come in and display complex/nested data structures in a generative manner.

Certainly possible and probably not too hard, there are code examples from the late 90's and early 2000's for using ps2 keyboards. But not enough people have the keyboard link port adapter to make it worth implementing.

Your other ideas are good. But this could kill people if it misfires and takes the plane off course and too far from an airfield.

It’s not. That’s what a lot of people don’t understand.

These drugs from Vertex started being approved in 2014. US insurers pretty much covered them from approval. Even Medicaid (health insurance for low income) started paying for it.

Other countries? The UK just started in 2020.

In Canada? Last I checked only 5 of the 10 provinces paid for it and only if you’re under 18.

The US healthcare is expensive for a lot of reasons, and one of them is new technology gets paid for really quickly.
Pilots already serve as a backup to an autonomous system. They're also useful for takeoff and landing.
Takeoffs, landings, and navigating dense air traffic in controlled spaces are all still "not smooth enough" for autonomous sytems if human life is valued.

Yes, planes can take off and land on auto pilot - but real world conditions throw curve balls, ditto approaches and departures from high traffic airports.

Even "boring" 10 hour point to point legs that might normally be fully autopilot can be a problem in case of mechanical failures or other unexpected events.
Either it works and you have them in a nice convenient place, or it doesn't and you don't have to worry about it anymore. It's a win win.

Thanks for the invitation and your engagement.

I do disagree with some of your opinions, but I find them interesting and valuable. I've definitely changed my mind about things before, so you might be right on all of these counts - but our experiences might differ enough to have different opinions.
