If you think everything tops out at 5-7 years you are no where near correct. 5-7 years developers are still juniors who have spent time down one path and know it really well. So well that they become opinionated that this is the best way. You don't turn into a senior until your wiped that mindset away. Until you become un-opinionated you are still a junior. At 7 years I knew it alL, it took awhile to reach a point where I know nothing but I am open to all opinions and ways to do something. Once you know it all work back to an open mindset

But this isn't redefining the term. Running experiments to discover what's most important, then focusing on building to solve for that is the whole point.

If you get far enough along where you're not able to iterate with well-regarded design partners out of the gate, you've messed up somewhere along the minimum and/or viable spectrum.
The regexp being "not the fastest" might be an understatement: https://github.com/BurntSushi/rebar?tab=readme-ov-file#summa...

Nothing that Go has is uniquely better or even competitive. Both C# and Java have way more extensive and optimized standard libraries. What Java has working against it is the lack of structs, monomorhpized generics and SIMD API to ensure all standard library bits stay as performant as they are in .NET, but nonetheless the areas that have no use of those are optimized to a comparable degree. And you can be sure they offer sufficiently good support on all major platforms: Linux, macOS, Windows and, what is a major Java/Kotlin's advantage, Android. Something that Go treats with pretending like the only platforms that exist is UNIX/POSIX.

There are other things, like Go's blessed way of slicing strings being problematic because it does nothing to prevent you from tearing code points so you have a lot of code that might be silently corrupting text data.

And for interpreting AST, this exists in both Java and C# with different strategies. C# approach is a bit more complex but extremely powerful with build-time source generators that have full access to AST generate new code, fill out existing partial members or intercept calls, and does not require any external scripting. A good example of that is generating gRPC clients and servers code from .proto file by simply executing `dotnet add package Grpc.Tools` and adding .proto reference to .csproj.

Go may seem like a good language after coming from scripting nightmares, it may even seem like a good systems programming language that is easy to use. I promise, it is not. In order to call intrinsics, in C#, I just call them because that's what it offers, in Go, I have to write asm helpers manually.

If you look at what modern C#, Kotlin and, again, Rust provide in their respective areas, you will soon realize that Go does not have anything to offer that is unique or better, except perhaps the culture of minimalism, which other ecosystems are also advocating for in at least last 5 years.

p.s.: I forgot to mention the reason interop was brought up - in C# it can be zero cost or nearly zero cost because it is something that was considered at the language and platform inception. It is one of the reasons C# will never use green threads and eventually will move over upgraded runtime handled task system (mind you, current day state machine implmentation works well, but can be improved). The cost of FFI in Go, unless you use Cgo, is dramatic. This is something that is not acceptable for a language positioning itself as a systems programming one.
> So now we have Americans complaining

Not sure who these Americans are (I'm sure they exist). Personally I'm as European as they come, but perhaps more dispassionate than most. I don't think one should identify too much with whatever context we coincidentally happen to find ourselves, and much less engage any sort of cheering match. The type of historical shift we are talking about here is largely indifferent to our cheering anyway.
> right to a venue and the right to speak are two entirely different things

They’re both components of the freedom of speech.

The origin of our modern tradition of free speech is tied to Parliament, where the right to speak and venue were inextricably intertwined [1].

Some of those nail houses looked rather old, so I'm having difficulties to believe they've been built for the purpose of extracting compensation from the current government.
For re-plumbing a home, 2 piece robot, 1 to dispense the pex while the other rides on it to anchor it at its destination and cut the old pipe out and retrieves the piece to be discarded at the nearest safe point.

Then the dispenser scoots up, cuts the pex, and connects it, possibly with some epoxy or a 3d printed connector or both.

Rider robot uses lidar to plan next path while that is going on, until both robots arrive at their destination. Minimum of sheetrock repair needed, quick and easy, should last 15 years or so.

$100 million and a team of dedicated and passionate engineers with the sole goal of seeing that come to fruition could pull it off in 7-12 years, maybe less depending on the number of geniuses you luck into.

I think this is true for things higher up the "stack", but doesn't necessarily apply to tech like Postgres [and Citus, IMO].

The line separating "build in-house" vs "use OSS" exists, and it's at a different layer of the stack in every company. IMO, for most companies in 2024, the line puts Citus on the same side as Postgres.

FWIW, I would have assumed that Citus would be on the other end of the line, until I had to look into Citus for work for a similar reason that Figma did. You can pick and choose among the orthogonal ideas they implement that most cleanly apply to the present stage of your business, and I would've chosen to build things the same way they did (TBH, Figma's choices superficially appear to be 1:1 to Citus's choices).
> even worse that the regulators knew about the fraud

What fraud do you think they were covering up?

SARs are filed when money laundering is suspected. To the extent something was being covered up, it was money laundering. Not fraud.
Apple knows your location if any app uses the GPS.

On Android, even Google Android, you're free to use fully on-device maps that don't send your location to anyone, or you could use competing apps that don't send your location to Google. Similarly, you can install apps from an APK from anywhere without telling Google or anybody else that you've installed them, even on Google Android.

User control means privacy, not just better features.
Yes, but the original author is incentivized to attempt to show where the replicators got it wrong, so there will still be a push to correct the bad data from the false replication failure. With that said, I am convinced it will be a panacea.

A bigger issue is that... 3-sigmas is really a weak signal in a high cardinality state-space, which is basically everything above physics of small numbers of elementary particles, and it is the elementary physicists that go for higher. This is what is feeding the replication crisis: Weak signals from very poorly sampled studies.

The meta issue is that we as a society need to start accepting that some things will take longer and require more investment to achieve results. Do fewer studies per unit grant, but do the three-sigma ones only to justify a real experiment/study, not as an acceptance criteria for "discovery!".

I'm not even going to touch politicalization, since I really have no idea what to do about it without a worse cure than the disease.
Everything I’ve seen from the Twitter Files makes it look like nothing bad was going on. It’s done the opposite of making me believe there’s a scandal being exposed. “Oh, that’s the worst that was ‘uncovered’? Cool, glad everything was actually fine.”

Wild how the same primary source can be taken so completely differently by different sets of people.
>Deep fryers are exactly the same, but with a tub to put in oil.

Not really true. The fryers used by McDonalds and the vast majority of QSRs are digitally controlled have a fairly sophisticated recirculating filter system to keep the shortening in good condition. The state of this system is much less critical from a food safety standpoint, but it can be extremely hazardous to employees for obvious reasons. The pressure fryers used by fried chicken restaurants are potentially even more hazardous. To my knowledge, none of these systems have weird DMCA-protected firmware to prevent unauthorised maintenance.
llama.cpp added first class support for the RX 580 by implementing the vulkan backend. There are some issues on older kernel amdgpu code where a llm process VRAM is never reloaded if it gets kicked out to GTT (in 5.x kernels) but overall it's much faster than the clBLAST opencl implementation.
I agree with everything you wrote here, but the reality is, a lot of people don't care about freedom of speech for website owners.

I also agree with your point about officials using social media, but the post I was responding to was reflecting on the philosophy of free speech on the internet in general.
It's not only about it looking 'nice' (although there's that component as well as an added bonus).

Once you've read tons of code formatted with the same formatter, passing the same linter rules and following the same general idiomatic rules, it becomes so much easier to read and review new code that adheres to all the same rules.
The LLM prompts are pretty interesting, e.g.: https://github.com/imelnyk/ArxivPapers/blob/main/gpt/utils.p...

> "You are an ArXiv paper audio paraphraser. Your primary goal is to rephrase the original paper content while preserving its overall meaning and structure, but simplifying along the way, and make it easier to understand. In the event that you encounter a mathematical expression, it is essential that you verbalize it in straightforward nonlatex terms, while remaining accurate, and in order to ensure that the reader can grasp the equation's meaning solely through your verbalization. Do not output any long latex expressions, summarize them in words."
In what way is an objectively more verbose language than C# and Java a “breath of fresh air”? Especially one so badly designed with gotchas everywhere (defer being function scoped, they even got loop captures bad at first, when that was a well known problem 50(!) years ago, etc)
Thanks and congrats on the launch!
One of the lessons from the old book the design of everyday things is that when someone uses an artifact incorrectly, it is not the fault of the user but instead the fault of the designer who allowed such a use.

One of the examples in the books are people who keep on pulling on a handle on a door that's meant to be pushed on when the handle looks like a pull handle.

You did nothing other than pull on the pull handle. That the door frame came out of the wall is not your fault.

What would versions of this course look like for other fields?

Great Ideas in Theoretical Physics?

Great Ideas in Experimental Physics?

Great Ideas in Economics?

etc

I did teach a course once called, Inventing the Information Age, in which we discussed all the inventions and ideas (starting from writing) all the way to modern computing infrastructure needed for a civilization to replicate our information age. This was not a single-field course, because the ideas/inventions were in language, physics, mathematics, and computer science. That made it more fun.
I came to post essentially this. I could listen to review articles in a area I'm familiar with, but listening to primary papers could never work for me.
Canada is already a federal structure with overlapping jurisdictions. Adding another layer to it complicates things, but doesn't fundamentally break anything. Treaties are just more laws in a constitution that is already a mix of Common Law, written law, (French) Civil Law, our history with the BNA act, and our recent constitutional patriation.

The USA has similar treaties, and the US Supreme Court has been flip-flopping trying to decide the limits of Oklahoma criminal authority in half the sate. It can be messy.

Go has a stupid definition of “system programming”. It uses it to mean “low-level network stuff”, and absolutely not as something where low-level languages would fit.
It looks like a very interesting comparison. I still not sure how to tranform StockFish points to probabilities. (Perhaps proportional to exp(-difference/temperature), where temperature is a magical number or perhaps it's like something/elo??? There are too many parameters to tweak.)
Unfortunately, I know very little about Julia aside from hearing good things about its application in scientific domain and it having interesting options for accessing SIMD which are similar to C#'s SIMD API. Someone else here could perhaps provide better context.
Since the Xcursor format is extensible, why not just define new chunk types for PNG and SVG? Such an approach could provide two-way compatibility.

If you don’t mention that PruneYard 1) interpreted the California constitution, not the First Amendment and 2) does not have any relationship to a coherent speech product you are either being intentionally misleading or you lack sufficient context to make sense of the law in this area.
No idea. My best guess is their background is in graphics and games rather than machine learning. When CUDA is all you've ever known, you try just a little harder to find a way to keep using it elsewhere.
> the notion that any communication between the government and social media platforms is censorship is as extreme as arguing that the government should have takedown powers.

Do you feel the responsibility to argue this, or is it just a bare ass appeal to the moderation fallacy? Is not killing your wife just as extreme as killing her? Are we required to come up with a way to half-kill her in order to sound like serious, nuanced thinkers?
I completely agree. The DCMA Anti-Circumvention rules are just a hack to make it easier to enforce copyright protections. But why should we make that easier? Why do we have a law making it illegal to do something that may be used for illegal purposes?

It's a dumb law, let's get rid of it.

> This also begs the question… what if you could completely offload the Vision Pro’s compute to another Apple device?

Instead of a battery pack on your waist, you just plug in your iPhone. It can provide charge and a nice bit of compute as well.
Arguably, Go is the only language I couldn’t even infer the syntax for before learning it.

I can quite easily follow any ML, or C-like language, even if this is the first time I see it, and then go just writes some bullshit list of tokens, where you can’t even decipher which is a type or an identifier name. And then does some receiver syntax in function definitions that is absolutely unhinged.
That could be all of the nodes, or just the primaries without replicas.

I'll never understand this fascination with humanoid robots. It smacks of our innate narcissism, which lead to hilariously ironic and pervasive belief systems like "God made MAN in HIS image!" (surely not the other way around!)

Meanwhile the whole world already operates on incredibly precise high-tolerance robots doing low skill and repetitive tasks as well as extremely "high skill" tasks like painting/manufacturing cars or milling metal.

And we have wheeled robots like Autostore.com for other automation tasks.

A humanoid robot exists only to tickle our perverse self-centric obsessions, and namely: news sites, news consumers, and executives.

This sounds pretty great tbh. I'm essentially a junior, and I can see this format helping juniors get used to having good habits in regards to thinking forward about what needs to be done with the stand-ups, while giving them enough options for support in the office hours.
While the PRs went in slightly earlier, much of the time was spent on testing the integrations, and working with AMD directly to resolve issues.

There were issues that we resolved prior to cutting the release, and many reported by the community as well.

Wanted a Tesla so badly when I was younger. Bought an electric last year and went with Subaru because:
a. I don't trust Tesla's autopilot, specifically the car's ability to accelerate.
b. The subaru solterra was more comfortable for me.
c. I live in an area where I need to go off road, the Subaru seemed a better fit
d. Subaru dind't have a CEO saying incredibly childish things constantly so I could take them seriously.

Ultimately that last point was a big deal. My wife doesn't believe a word out of that dudes mouth, and neither do I anymore I guess compared to how I used to be. So, seemed crazy to buy a car from him.

I like my Subaru, would buy again. Guess I'm an ad now.

I'm just some dumbass who was buying a car, and that's largely what I went off of.

I wonder if using a low-latency conversation with a reasonably effective LLM as a “front end” for documentation will be a big productivity boost for folks like this.

I have been using ChatGPT as a rubber duck (who is also a pathological liar!) for working through code issues with good success. What if you just ramble on for five minutes and ask it to summarize what you just said in README form? (Hmm, I’m going to try it!)
Low skill, but higher skill than the automation already in place it seems; it says "like having Apollo inspect and deliver components to human production line workers", but there's less expensive and more reliable ways to do that - like conveyor belts and whatnot.

Call me a luddite but it looks like an overly error prone solution looking for a problem to me.
Wouldn't wheeled robots be better for flat factory floors, if it is supposed to deliver parts? What is the point of the legs.

"Mercedes has started trialing an undisclosed number of Apollo robots at a factory in Hungary. The country has experienced labor shortages for several years as workers migrate to Western Europe, with Audi and Mercedes having both expressed concerns regarding labor supply in 2016."

I don't think "The real Miss Julie" is a clickbaity title.

It's a perplexing title if you haven't heard of Strindberg's play, for sure, but that's no different from a title like "Improving Kubernetes" or "Riemann Hypothesis proved", which will make sense only if you know about Kubernetes or the Riemann Hypothesis.

If you _have_ heard of Strindberg's play and make the connection with the title, then the obvious interpretation is something like "it turns out that there was an actual person Strindberg's character was based on, and this article is about her". Which, as it happens, is exactly correct.

I think it's worth distinguishing between "I can't tell what this is about from the title, because it's clickbait" and "I can't tell what this is about from the title, because I happen not to be familiar with the subject matter". This is the second of those, not the first.

(For the avoidance of doubt, I am not in the least suggesting that there's anything wrong with happening not to be familiar with the subject matter.)
