Something fun: pay attention to how many financial news headlines are formatted, "X as Y" or "Statement Presented as Fact: Says Opinion-Haver". The first implies that there's some causational link between X and Y, when none might exist; the writer can claim that they were just stating that two events were happening in tandem. The second biases a reader before they receive the crucial information that the preceding statement was not, in fact, fact.

(Also, lately, look out for listicles of stocks "to buy" (not financial advice, of course) and "Forget X".)

> The main downside I have with it though, is I just can't seem to remember how to use it

I've noticed the more I use HTMX, the more I tend to end up needing to use the JS API too.

For example, if I have an HTML table with inline editing, and I need there to be validation on what people are entering. So, I have HTMX firing when people save their changes via a button, then I need to use the JS API for conditional logic e.g., if valid, then update table. If invalid, then display some kind of message or whatever.

HTMX has been working great for my needs, but the more I tend to get into the weeds of the JS API, I cannot help but sometimes question whether I am truly gaining that much more over using plain AJAX requests. However, HTMX is definitely more concise, so that's a nice benefit I suppose over a unmaintainable slew of AJAX requests.
What I did last time for a moderate refactoring was to do everything step by step in the commits. Intermediate broken state was fine. Them purposefully commit in such a way that the tools could verify that I did the intended change. Like line moves: verify with `git diff --color-moved`. Then I told the reviewers about my breadcrumbs. Then finally for the merge I could rewrite the history.

Ideally I want to not just post a 500-line diff as a pull request. Ideally I want to really write a program/script which does as much of the changes as I did (intermediate commits for the changes that need to be done manually). Refactorings are often done through and IDE so hopefully the IDE can output a script of the refactoring steps. Then the reviewers don’t even have to look at the diff (really): they can look at the script, see if it is reasonable, then run it themselves and verify that it produces the same output (the same tree).

Coccinelle is a tool for C (and C++?) which lets you write “semantic patches” like “replace these boolean expressions with this one”. Maybe replace some considered-bad C standard library calls with what you consider to be better. Then you can leave those patches in and check that people don’t check in new code with the old pattern.

All of this is just for refactoring though. Once you start talking about rewriting I feel like you have moved beyond that point.
> there is a large cohort of not that great web programmers who don’t know much

I think you mean “programmers” not just “web programmers”. I’ve worked with plenty of bloated over-engineered Java and C# codebases that take several minutes to start on a very fast developer machine with 32 gigs of RAM. Sometimes, the worst offenders use “lower level” languages! The performance averse problem is endemic in the entire field, not just in the web.

Dumb question: what should open-source mean in the context of something like this? Open access to the training data and training pipeline as well?
A very good question, I honestly don't have good enough generic answer - if you just can't force yourself to go to gym, find other sports that work for you. And anyway it shouldn't be about forcing, I enjoy the hormone kick and tiredness afterwards. The biggest mental hurdle is getting to the starting point, afterwards it goes automatically, no excuses.

Gym is anyway just a good synthetic replacement for actual workouts out there, ideally you should attack the goal of getting stronger and having more stamina from as many angles as possible.

For me, its: climbing, hiking/camping, alpinism, ski touring, paragliding (if you hike up 1000m with 12kg backpack, your quads and joints do notice, and sometimes you have to walk down too). Gym, either cardio, body weight or free weights is just supplement to that during rainy days, injuries etc.
This is terrible advice stated without evidence.

I can also state the opposite without evidence:

“Learning programming is hard enough that you should use every available tool to help you overcome the hurdles. Without help from IDEs, you might never discover an API or a have the time and energy to experiment with making your code better.”

There. Now you have two contrary opinions and can choose whichever you personally prefer until someone whips out some research papers.

Credit cards are not cash and you are not forced to use them. Nevertheless, I welcome you to research the Chinese social credit system and tell me if that is really the same thing as FICO. FICO is simply about paying debt; I know dirt poor people with fantastic credit scores. This is not the same thing. This is why we are in danger of a social credit system because our culture now equivocate the two already.
But is that actually baked in to the price? (I’m legitimately asking, not being argumentative)

Back when I worked at a big public company where we had options and employee blackout dates, there would almost always be a dip in the stock price when the blackout was lifted
Can someone explain why the weights are posted via a Bittorrent magnet link? I have no way to check the size at the moment, but isn't that a bit unusual? There's also only 21 seeders right now according to https://checker.openwebtorrent.com/
The problem is always expectation, anticipation and experience.

With any new technology we expect certain performance - we get this from the “The Economist effect” - where the simple one paragraph explanation of a complex field enables us to have a grasp on a concept but not the full difficulties.

So we expect the nuclear missile to hit its target whereas the thing about nukes is they were designed to be used despite being horribly inaccurate.

Anticipation is time bounded - we get depressed when the thing we expect is not done today - we can imagine it so why can’t we have it. This is the problem behind all crunch development times, all VC funded CEO replacements and every lying progress report ever.

And experience is what tells us where we really are - it is looking at a Trident missile spiralling round in front page photos and saying … what have we missed.

Weapons operate always at the frontier of what is possible. Nuclear weapons probably are not really there - we can fly the prototype over unchallenged airspace but launching rockets is hard.
Have you considered teaching computer science? If you are based in California and you have at least a bachelor’s degree with extensive work experience or a master’s degree, you are eligible to teach at the community college level. Computer science instructors are in high demand at the community college level; there are many students who want to pursue computer science degrees, but staff can be hard to find due to the lure of industry and positions at research universities. Salaries for full-time tenure track positions, especially in the Bay Area, are higher than what many people assume, and your work experience can translate to a higher salary based on the salary tables community college districts in California use. With extensive work experience and a master’s degree it’s possible to start off making six figures. It’s not FAANG pay, but it’s not poverty pay, either.

Another major perk: summer and winter breaks, adding up to roughly three months of the year. In particular, because the salary covers 10 months, you can do whatever you want in the summer (though it’s wise to spend some time prepping for the upcoming term). There are few other full-time jobs in America I can think of with three months off per year.

Because it’s a major investment for a college to hire a tenure-track professor, it’s best to get some part-time teaching experience first so you can find out whether or not you like teaching. I did this at San Jose State University, teaching a course on programming language principles and paradigms at night online during COVID while working full-time as an industry AI researcher. I had a wonderful time and I discovered that I enjoyed all aspects of teaching, even grading (okay, I didn’t enjoy dealing with cases of academic dishonesty, but that comes with teaching). If you have experience teaching in the workplace (for example, giving training exercises in Rust or git), then please empathize this in your applications. Community colleges aren’t solely for educating future transfer students; they are also a valuable lifeline for people looking to build their practical skills.
I'm amused by the combination of goodwill towards some and implicit snark towards everyone else represented by the last item in the list.
I wouldn't say these are orthogonal.

Platform operators do think about support load and edge cases like the ones I've mentioned, and so to them these are obstacles to deploying passkeys. "How can I explain passkeys to my user?" covers more than just the happy path.
Indeed, Groq is a company building inference accelerators. Grok is completely unaffiliated.

Honestly the most interesting part is taking a peek at the kind of AI researcher working for Twitter after the objectively messy layoffs and subsequent crunch. I notice neither of them has Twitter mentioned on their GitHub, which is prolly for the best to avoid harassment lol.

Code wise, excited to see if this could grow into anything! I think it’s pretty clear that Grok didn’t have nearly enough investment to be a top model so Elon “sacrificed” it on a whim in his schoolyard spat with OpenAI, but I’m not complaining. I’ve always took Elon on his word that he truly is worried about centralization of AI, and I don’t think any of the emails released by his schoolmate Altman dissuade me of that. So I have some reasonable hope that he uses some of his immense resources to start “fighting the good fight” here with Le Cun

I know that we have, on many occasions, run ads on Reddit highlighting exactly that use-case.
Have a goal, and measure your progress towards that goal. If "get stronger" is enough, great; but if not, find some challenging activity you enjoy and want to improve at, and do the resistance training that will help you get better. Personally I find that much more motivating; just knowing there are health benefits never really did it for me.

Really really important to write down what you do. Progress is not always fast, but if you keep records, you'll see it, and that really helps with motivation.

IMO podcasts and such are not so good for strength training specifically, though for endurance work they're fine. You really want to give full intensity to getting through that last rep (with good form). You're training your ability to push through discomfort as much as you are your muscle's theoretical inherent strength.
I think what the GP is describing isn't about client-server negotiation, though, but rather something that happens purely client-side for already-delivered resources, within e.g. the system for loading the right subtitle track embedded into a playing video.

AFAIK, there's no standard for allowing client-side media-playback frameworks to probe language preferences with quality values out of the browser they're running in. The navigator.languages property (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/l...) doesn't expose qvalues for some reason.

And even if there was, there's no way, in any media container format I know of, of annotating subtitle tracks with quality values — so there's no way of saying that a given track really sucks and should be deprioritized relative to the user's preference ordering, but still used if there's no other choice.

Yes, training and evaluation code, i.e., the code used to generate the weights.

Yeah musk said “all design and engineering for the original roadster is now open source” and actually what we got was a few PCB files and zero mechanical design files so I don’t ever trust what he says.
“Learn.” “Do the work.” “Educate yourself on my unreality.” These are becoming mantra now, even institutionalized. I did say “essentially” and literally the same but such distinctions are quaint until they no longer exist.

> high-brow comment

You say that like its a bad thing :-)

> all worse off than before.

Let's stipulate, for sake of argument, that is true. Coffee shop owners are selling less coffee, delivery drivers are getting paid more per hour, but get less hours in, and erstwhile customers can no longer afford hand-delivered coffee.

Further stipulate that its this bill which us the cause.

The question is, wouldn't all of that happened anyways? The bill might have made it happen now, and not 6 months from now. But can you show everybody was not just living in a fool's paradise?

I know it's unusual these days to make public policy based on calculation and not ideological conviction, but lets do some math. If a driver is making $20 an hour, and it costs him 75 cents a mile to drive his car, how fast, in MPH, can the driver go before just running the car uses up the entire $20? I calculate 20/.75 = 26.7 MPH.

So anybody driving at over 30 MPH is already wearing their car out faster than they can earn money to maintain it. 6 months later, there will be no money set aside for replacing the tires. When the break pads are worn away, well, just hope that the calipers digging into the brake discs can keep you going. And we'll just hope the timing belt--which should have been replaced 50k miles ago, doesn't break, or we'll have to pay for an engine rebuild.

Seriously guys in what universe does it make any sense that you can get coffee hand-delivered to your house for a few bucks extra? If something looks too good to be true, that's because it is too good to be true.
So buy all the other carwashes in the area, offer them some money in a nice way, or if this doesn't work, guess you just have to do it the hard way.
Why not? Mistral was first to do it, it has become tradition.
If they spent that extra time taking more care what and how much they eat and add some exercise, the effects would be much more pronounced (and they would be probably much happier too). But yeah sometimes even very smart folks end up in some analysis paralysis and tunnel vision.
What would it say about humans if we never invented market research?
Hey, here's a thought experiment: imagine a world where marketing research doesn't exist and advertisers are creating ads based on their intuition, rather than relying on market research reports. And that is seen as normal.

What would be the big implications of this? What would a typical human look like in a world where the concept of market research had never been invented?

And the reason for it not being invented, *wouldn't* be that it had been banned. Some other reason instead, like for example, we just never thought of that.
Yeah but testosterone makes life worth living.

PLA spending is ~2% of GDP, what US wants NATO to spend. It's just 2% of 20T economy with huge industrial capacity and relatively efficient procurement buys a lot. And since most of the hardware is new and not replacing deprecated equipment, the number naturally increase until level will production and replacement demands balances out. Ultimately PRC is ~25% larger than US by PPP, domestic MIC is largely indigenous on operate on domestic pricing, it would be weird if they don't have comparable or larger sized fleet. Much of it is also reorganization/rebalancing away from army to navy/airforce, net personel is down, but capital equipement up.

> (Well, it's a syntactically valid HTTP message, but there's no semantic meaning to the body.)

To quote RFC 9110:

> Although request message framing is independent of the method used, content received in a GET request has no generally defined semantics, cannot alter the meaning or target of the request, and might lead some implementations to reject the request and close the connection because of its potential as a request smuggling attack (Section 11.2 of [HTTP/1.1]). A client SHOULD NOT generate content in a GET request unless it is made directly to an origin server that has previously indicated, in or out of band, that such a request has a purpose and will be adequately supported. An origin server SHOULD NOT rely on private agreements to receive content, since participants in HTTP communication are often unaware of intermediaries along the request chain.

For this reason, Elasticsearch also accepts queries as POST.
The system is used for authentication for banking, accessing healthcare records, tax records, filing for divorce (yes, online) and so on. And for doing similar things for ones children, depending on their age.

By using an app or various hardware keys — with a maximum of three active methods — they can reduce the chance that additional people have access, and prevent duplication of the private keys. This isn't possible with a QR code to scan for TOTP (you can scan it on multiple devices, or print it out, or have a computer with malware doing this).

Initial authentication is done using a passport, or in-person at a local government office for people without one (or without access to a phone capable of reading the passport's chip).

(This is just my general understanding of the system.)

The open-source community for gateware is not as large or well-developed as the one for software, but there's many good projects out there.

OpenCores [1] has been around a long time, and there's many high-quality FPGA IP-cores hosted there. The Open Hardware Repository [2] is another good resource. Not all OHWR projects involve FPGAs, but many have full hardware/gateware/software stacks, including the White Rabbit Project [3].

I'm currently working to do something akin to this. Would love any feedback.

I've spent my 20 year career designing hardware for many startups and large companies. Some pretty complex things like Kidney Dialysis machines, surgical robotics and artificial hearts.

As a architect, technical leader and having a seemingly "important" role in these things one is not really taken care of in the way one would expect. A lot like the conversation we've all been having about the gutting out of the engineering focused culture in much of our formerly engineering led industries.

I've been working to build a small, simple business that does product design, architecture, engineering services and also has the ability to do injection molding, 3d printing, machining, prototyping, etc all in house, all right here in The SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco.

I'm not trying to solve the most complex problems, be the biggest or fastest growing. I'm just trying to be stable, reputable and reliable, a "small giant".
