My guess is they're generating the structure of the JSON programmatically (i.e. keys, commas, braces), and doing JSON escaping for the strings programatically, and not handling JSON in the LLM at all. Hence they're comparing char/s: first of all it's not just generating tokens, and secondly it's better for their benchmarks to compare char/s (since they don't hit the LLM for a lot of their characters) rather than LLM tokens/s (which are probably somewhat faster, but not 100x faster).
Personally, I think it is always good to have some people working on weird, unverifiable ideas.

Ah, I meant Java code manipulating off-heap memory. For Java I don't think there's a way to mix managed and unmanaged code like you do in C#/C++ CLR.
Yes, customers will love anything that helps them. You can get customers to love you by adding any kind of automation for stuff they had to do by hand up to that point. Does this mean there should be 10 articles per day shared about "I added XLSX import to my app, so my customers don't have to do data entry via dialogs"?

My point is about repetitiveness of LLM topics. Not about usefullness of LLM itself. And LLMs are glorified autocomplete. Their internals are maybe interesting, but that's often not what's being discussed here or even written about in the shared articles.
Meditation is a practice, you practice to keep your mind "clean" and don't clutter it with unnecessary thoughts, worries, etc. If you master this skill, you will require less sleep. And then you don't have to be sitting on the floor all the time, you can just live your life without cluttering your mind all the time. So it is ultimately more efficient than cluttering your mind all day and then needing lots of sleep. But it does take some initial practicing time before you reach that state of mind. But with all things, if you put some effort in beforehand, you can reap a lot of gain afterwards. Doing this practice for about 20/30 minutes every morning can already quickly bring great improvement to your daily life. If done right that is. It's easy to do it wrong also, and then it can not bring any benefit. Sometimes it's necessary to first work out some traumas before you start a serious meditation practice. Sometimes meditation actually helps you work out traumas. It all depends on the person and situation. For some people guided meditation works great, other people rather just sit in silence. It doesn't really matter, as long as you find something that works for you.

See it like exercising: you might think that spending time on exercising takes away time that you could spend on doing useful things. But it actually gives you better health, making you function better in your daily life. So it enables you to do things more efficiently. And you'll feel healthier, better, happier. So ultimately you gain from it.

E.g. our house in germany is from 1968. We where lucky and the builder did not use any asbestos so I could do most renovations myself.
If you have asbestos, you need specialized equipment and procedures or involve experts. That is really expensive and can easily double or triple your estimated cost.
You can ofc ignore it, but especially with small children it seems ill advised to do so. NTM there are fines if you expose the public.

IMO there are arenas which are long lived slow growing. We might not define them as arenas, because the word used gives the impression of an enclosed space.

These long lived arenas will reward persistence, that is simply being part of them ends up paying dividends in the long term. Though this could be due to survival of the fittest.

An example I think is in academia/research.

Versus C, it definitly made lots of sense.

For me it was the only language I could see myself using after getting used to Object Pascal quality of life, in tooling, type safety, and language features.

C felt jurassic already in 1993, and there wasn't any other portable alternative I could reach for.

However that copy-paste compatibility with C is what definitly has made it unsuitable for writing safe code nowadays, specially with the C culture that is now left.

Those of us that like C++, but also are on the safety side, have already embraced other programming languages, relegating C++ for the absolute must use cases.

The problem is that there are more compilers out there than clang, and clang isn't available everywhere.
My observation is that it is the ease of seeing people that leads to loneliness. The midlife crowd are off driving their kids to a different sporting event, or what have you, every day of the week. It is so easy to see people that they never stop to see the same person twice, so to speak, and thus the repeated engagement required to form friendships isn't likely to happen.

If we look back at older generations, who notably lived in far less density than what is common today, they by and large had less trouble with loneliness as the difficulty in seeing people from limited transportation availability meant that they could only ever get to know their closest neighbours, which meant that is who they saw over and over, and that lead to friendship.

I was in the middle of what I thought could have been an incident the other day. While debugging, with two others at my desk, I was approached no less than 3 other times by groups of people just wanting to say, introduce themselves etc. I told them that we were facing an issue, trying to work through it, but it didn't matter. Trying to break off conversations was more stressful than the incident itself.
> We should have been working together 60 years ago for a viable off-planet colony and related stuff. If the world ended tomorrow, humanity would cease to exist. You need over 100,000 people to sustain the human race in the event a catastrophic event wipes almost everyone out.

We are hundreds of years away from the kind of technology you would need for a viable fully self-sustainable off-world colony that houses 100k or more humans. We couldn't even build something close to one in Antarctica.

This kind of colony would need to span half of Mars to actually have access to all the resources it needs to build all of the high-tech gear they would require to just not die of asphixiation. And they would need top-tier universities to actually have people capable of designing and building those high-tech systems, and media companies, and gigantic farms to make not just food but bioplastics and on and on.

Starting 60 years earlier on a project that would take a millennium is ultimately irrelevant.

Not to mention, nothing we could possibly do on Earth would make it even a tenth as hard to live here than on Mars. Nuclear wars, the worse bio-engineered weapons, super volcanoes - it's much, much easier to create tech that would allow us to survive and thrive after all of these than it is to create tech for humans to survive on a frozen irradiated dusty planet with next to no atmosphere. And Mars is still the most hospitable other celestial body in the solar system.
I am glad to hear I am not alone in such an experience.

I had a burn out in the past. I eventually came to the conclusion that sometimes the situation is the result of the next managerial level up from me failing their RealTimeStrategy game and not committing enough peons/wizards/engineers/diplomacy-with-subcontractedCompanies.

Maybe it's not their fault per se because the level above them failed their strategy - and so on.

But while I've learned it isn't my problem/fault - it is indeed damn frustrating. Good luck and best wishes for any clarity.
Pitfalls, sure. But also many advantages! Teams looking for new ppl can include in the relevant repos, more likely to be noticed than some career page.

Not in the article by also relevant is short polling. While this does not send messages from a server to a client it can still be useful when all other options are not available (on shared hosting for example).

In my experience it even works great when the poll interval is long (for example 20 seconds) but when you also include the message list in each response. That way the client will be up to date when it interacts with the server: user presses a button -> the client sends a request to the server -> the server reponds with data and also a list of the latest messages.

I'd imagine this is likely true. The other thing to consider, is that apps don't necessarily need to be updated. Many can continue to work on old versions forever if the developer takes care with planning.

I'm thinking specifically of a 3rd party camera app, or maybe one of these modern 3D mapping apps that uses LIDAR to model a room. These apps can (and should!) continue to work on the hardware they were developed for, even if the author bumps the minimum version past what is supported. If the app author builds in reliances on a web api that expects an up-to-date companion app, that was/is shortsighted and should be discouraged.
In C# you usually don't want to mix in C++. Manipulating off-heap memory is indeed easy - nowadays pointers to both object interiors, stack and unmanaged memory can be represented as `ref T` where T is byte, int, etc.

These are then subsequently wrapped by `Span<T>` and `ReadOnlySpan<T>` respectively. This way a span can be a slice of memory that can have any origin:

var fromStack1 = (stackalloc byte[32]);
var fromStack2 = (Span<byte>)[0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20];
var fromHeap = new byte[32].AsSpan();
unsafe
{
var ptr = NativeMemory.Alloc(32);
var fromMalloc = new Span<byte>(ptr, 32);

It would be a net positive if it didn't facilitate a whole bunch of Dunning-Kruger 'artists' summiting Mt. Stupid flooding the lower end of the commercial art markets with vaguely convincing looking bullshit. It weakens our artistic culture, waters down professional standards at the lower end of the markets putting a whole bunch of workaday or entry-level people out of jobs, and in turn, pushes less qualified people upmarket which makes it harder to hire and find work, and weakens salaries. Also, since the MBAs in charge will inevitably shove these tools down people's throats, it takes the most enjoyable parts of the artistic process away from you, replaces it with a bunch of crap amalgamated from a billion other people's work, and leaves the fussy, irritating, soulless, and completely not-rewarding task of cleaning up and enhancing some algorithm's bullshit. It would be like if developers had to start every single coding task with an ever-changing template of completely clusterfuck spaghetti code made by the worst intern at your company.
Makes sense. You can expect people to find microsecond speedups a lot more relevant compared to nanosecond speedups.

Are you really equating people's perception of tens of milliseconds of latency with their perception of nanoseconds? Is it surprising that people would notice a 50 ms slowdown more than a 50 nanosecond slowdown?
Automation. It can be used to automate tasks in an app. For example, a common task in a Photo Editor app is to resize photos. But resizing 100's of photos manually can be a pain. If the app has scripting support, you can write a script to resize photos and just run it. It can also be used to add the feature of creating extensions / add-ons for an app. (See https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ ).

> Fifteen Minute cities "inspired by lockdown"

Who said that? Who tried to sell that idea that way? Nobody who's in favour of it, and it predates lockdowns by several years, originating in 2016 - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-03/15-minute...

> You'd have to go with 'own nothing and be happy'

Which comes from a discussion piece or thought experiment about the way the world was going at the time (again 2016) with the sharing economy being all the buzz, that was never communicated to anyone as a utopia or something to aim for, let alone forming anybody's policy. It's an inconsequential essay that would have disappeared into obscurity if the forces of outrage hadn't discovered it and whipped up a storm. And again it was years before the pandemic. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_own_nothing_and_be_ha...

This is not people on the 'pro' side communicating ideas poorly; the communications you're citing as damning were done by the same reactionaries railing against these issues.

And this is precisely the problem - a nothingburger and the radical idea of having facilities closer to where you live have been spun into outrage fuel, which you seem to have at least partially swallowed.
The problem is that he is shouting to windmills, because the community at large doesn't care about all the features and tooling he keeps mentioning. Also some of that tooling is still quite buggy, e.g. VC++ and clang lifetime checkers.

Same applies to Herb Sutter's efforts, as of his recent blog post.

It doesn't matter how much tooling there has been available on the C and C++ ecosystem, a large majority will keep programming as they always did unless forced by external factors to change their ways.

Lint was created in 1979, and to this day many developers refuse to adopt static analysis on their C and C++ projects, let alone more modern tooling.

Technology cannot change community culture.

The "business value" is that it is easier and cheaper to find a handful of scriptkiddies who think everything has to be done in JS, run after the latest hype, and don't even know you can send a form using plain HTML, than it is to get competent, educated devs who know when JS or even a frontend framework is the right tool for the job.
This argument sounds backwards to me. Under the common ad valorem property taxes, the tax you pay goes up if you invest in increasing the value of your property, which punishes you for improving it and incentivizes leaving your land fallow. Under a land value tax, building on your land does not increase the tax you pay. That’s the point!

Have you seen any blog posts that have some details on this? I can imagine, roughly, the concept but it sounds interesting and I'd like to get a better understanding.
> Georgism is fundamentally flawed in its precepts, and would result in a rent-seeking political state acting as a monopolist landlord.

Why would a democratic society tax itself needlessly? LVT is by definition limited to a certain proportion.

The entire thesis of my OP is that the last 200 years of protections of property rights are now quickly leading to a "rent-seeking state by a plurality of various oligarchies". At least the political state uniformly distributes power instead of dividing the country between land/home owners and renters.

> People should have a right to use the property they own in the way that generates maximum value for them

A LVT only encourages you to do so efficiently... you could easily move to a rural/undesirable area and have all that freedom and now much lower overall tax rate. If you aren't paying the LVT back to society you are by definition depriving someone else of the very freedom you wanted to protect. It's a fantasy to think that everyone can have the property freedoms you describe.
There’s loads of good books like Machinery Handbook but I generally just keep a set of Roebuck Zeus Tables in my pocket.

I love the Workshop Practice Series books including this one on the screw cutting lathe[1] is a good introduction.

As much as possible I stick to the ISO Metric Course thread standard. That’s the M sizes.

I can get away with just one set of change gears, taps and dies and one set of tapping drills.

E.g. to tap an M8 size hole you need a 6.8mm drill so that when you tap it it will have the correct size. You generally won’t find that a set of drills from a DIY store.

I avoid it but if I do need Metric Fine threads I can cut them on the lathe with the same set of change gears.

For other non-metric standards for a specific purpose I buy one off taps and drills but I really try to avoid this.

e.g. camera mounts are usually either Whitworth or UNC but you won't find these much else where.

Quality drills and taps really help with small lathes where motor power is limited. I’ve tried cheap stuff but it's somewhat frustrating when a cheap, no name tap breaks off in something you've spent days making. Now I just use Presto[2][3] for everything.

I'm not the person you are replying too, but I believe that of course, the pattern holds if you keep shifting it down. I.E. using a faster CPU will speed up all programs running on it, each (already optimized) ASIC has to be optimized further individually.
