It’s not useful for opposite reasons. For Buffet, spending considerable effort to outperform the market by 10% is huge. For someone investing $10k, that’s $1k of upside.
First of the most important question: why? When proposing such changes, you need to carefully answer this.

Why do you want to implement those changes? Is it because as it stands currently it actually doesn’t work, or just because the status quo isn’t best practice?

> create a shared wiki and require teams to put access directions, openAPI specs, and each environment urls.

Imho this is a great change and pretty much universally applicable, but it’s not an easy one. Wikis quickly go out of date when there is no buy in from everybody involved. Also, you need to really think about the structure. The search function of some wiki tools (confluence) is famous for being awful, so make sure the wiki is well structured *and* remains that way.

> create ci/cd templates, starting with a paved path into k8s

CI/CD templates are great for some projects and awful for others. Depending on the standardization in your org in terms of tooling you may find it impossible to achieve any meaningful technology coverage for templates. My company has done a pretty good job in providing just enough scaffold to make building a CI/CD pipeline easy with libraries. We have libraries that make stuff like setting up internal package repositories, internal root CAs etc very easy and nothing more. People are quite happy with that approach.

However, a paved path into K8s and deeper into the cloud ecosystem of your choice (as implied by your status quo) is a kind of political and architectural decision I would not dare to touch in the pursuit of better developer experience.

K8s is a real beast and kind of overpowered for 95% if the instance is being used with. You need a real need for it to justify the investment required in terms of migration effort as well es engineering in maintenance (note that while managed K8s offers lift some off the maintenance burden off your shoulder, there is still a substantial amount of responsibility on your part).

> - create a quarterly summary and survey of engineers

Is this your entire job or is this some additional responsibility you plan on taking on. If the later, I’d suggest you stay away from this. I’ve seen this approach being tried several times and the result was always the same. After an initial spike in enthusiasm engagement is starting to die off while the effort required for upkeep keeps on rising.
These people are counted in the U6 figures. U3 is only people without a job who have been looking in the past 12 months and haven’t found a job.
I don't think I have. I was only responding to the factually incorrect statement of yours that pgbench is a microbenchmark.

> which was about whether databases could even have micro-benchmarks.

No, this was an argument of yours that you pulled out out of nowhere. The topic very specifically was about the pgbench and not whether or not databases can have micro-benchmarks. Obvious answer is, yes, they can as any other software out there.

I think that you kinda tried to imply that pgbench was one of such micro-benchmarks in disguise and which is why I c/p the description which proves that it is not.

> You also missed the word "Obsolete"

I did not since that was not the topic being discussed at all. And in a technical sense, it doesn't matter at all. pgbench still runs so it is very much "not obsolete".
> It turns out that the average professional portfolio manager is just not very good at picking stocks

FTFY. Time and time again we’ve seen evidence that portfolio manager success in a give year is largely random and does not persist. Very few (the superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville as a classic example) are capable of persistent alpha.
Yeah this seems to be pretty sketchy, which is disappointing because I've been looking for an alternative to nitter since it went down. It's a shame that a lot of the content creators I follow use twitter to post updates and schedules and that without nitter you can't view posts in chronological order. Does anyone know an alternative to viewing twitter feeds without an account? I made an account (no vpn, no tor) but it immediately got banned and asked me for a phone number/legal identification.
That is true, and it is a good point. But the rate at which we are causing the extinction is much faster, and we do it consciously, causing harm to millions of species including ourselves. But you do have a point, I'll acknowledge that. We are not much different than a plague or a massive infection. Nevertheless, the fact that we do have intelligence means we have the moral obligation not to destroy other life and NOT to destroy at the rate we are.
They did buy Nod.ai recently
Or if you know it is going to be a huge pain in the.. then hire someone.

Recently i had all the central heating connections in my house replaced by smart thermostats. I could have done that myself given enough time, but i knew the old current system was from around 1970/1980 and i would face major problems. So i hired some guy to do it for me. Agreed upon a fixed price as well. It took him around 11 hours to get everything working.
You've never been let down by anyone, ever? no one's ever been late to something or come up short somehow to you? it sucks when somebody isn't able to show up or meet you in some way like they said they will. maybe you're surrounded by people that have a superhuman amount of time and energy and don't ever let people down. but for the rest of us, the real deal is that people suck sometimes. yeah, they're awesome as fuck sometimes too, which is why we put up with them, but anyway, I think a point I want to make is that it's easier to be lonely and right, than it is to be wrong and surrounded by friends. but for the people that are lonely, people are out there, you gotta put in effort to connect with them. but go in with your eyes open that they're human, and they're going to let you down in some way, but that's okay, because that's part of being human, is knowing that about your friends and keeping them around anyway. well, some of them, at least.

I'm not lonely, but I have a friend or two that are, so I'm projecting a little, but I know those particular friends of mine well enough to say that's where they're coming from. I'm sure other people are lonely for other reasons, but I know people who are lonely for the reason I gave. Because there are 8 billion. people on this planet. it's hard to avoid interacting with someone, in some way, if you push yourself and go touch grass.
In my workplace juniors were replaced years ago by a never ending round of offshore. As soon as we train our offshore, they are rotated somewhere else.

Gotcha. To go back to the article, it compares Tesla vs Toyota's market cap (558 vs 329) and then their enterprise value (553 vs 466) and concludes that if we look at EV then Toyota has almost caught up. What this reveals is that the market has decided that Toyota is in a good position ("valuable") because they have a market cap reasonably close to Tesla despite a lot more debt, so there is inherently some extra value in Toyota (according to the market) not captured by just looking at the diff between Tesla and Toyota market cap. It also reveals that Toyota believes they're undervalued which is why they're using debt financing instead of shares, whereas Tesla thinks the opposite.
There is just less people now too. Every single country seems to have a negative or break even birthrate. If we want to maintain the standard of living we have now, we need more efficient people.
Can anyone who has done web dev on Rust share their experience? I’ve read some Rustaceans say web dev is left best to other stacks; especially for someone just starting out in Rust.
Ad networks can offer to optimize the impressions, help to with targeting.

After all the current implicit user profiling and targeting is already not a 100%. Many people use adblockers, many devices are used by more than one user, etc. (In this day and age we are still baffled how Amazon/Google/whatever advertises us - for days - the same fucking thing we just purchased yesterday. Of course, because based on their model it's still the most likely thing the user might buy or click on, etc.)

Google seems to be already moving away from individual profiles with FLoC - of course they still want all of the data to be able do dynamically allocate users to cohorts (to maximize their profits).

And this is why Tiktok and Instagram just went ahead and are now doing direct sales. (They put a link on the video overlay where the user can go and buy whatever shit the video talks about.)

> isn’t a win for [...] sites

this is something that a lot of people are pushing back on, because their claim is that we need some slack in the system for sites to be able to pursue their own creative vision (however lame, banal, mundane, or seemingly useless it is). before every click was tracked it was okay if some article (or video) underperformed, because in general the advertiser got the increased sales (or brand awareness or whatever they measured)
While that sounds logical it’s completely false in practice. Competent people need jobs just as much as incompetent people but it’s challenging to distinguish the two. Most employers are just happy to put bodies in seats and will adjust expectations accordingly.
adding to this, as a software engineer casually dabbling in home automation, i’ve come across the word zigbee hundreds of times. I see zigbee products recommended all the time. LoRa? it’s my first time hearing about this…

At no point is the text bragging, it is stating fact.
>A business that takes up zero land, such as one that can be run from the same building you live in, ipso facto pays zero land value tax.

Local bookstores, delis, cafes, specialty shops, and so on, (a) use "expensive land", and (b) are not, usually, run "from the same building you live in".

I'm not talking about rural shops (those are a whole other thing, and die due to other reasons, like the economic decline and abandoment of rural areas).

I'm talking about beloved shops in major cities, replaced by expensive real estate getting them demolished to build whatever luxury mega-crap, and driving up rents contributing to gentrification.
In my experience, as long as a controlled window is communicating with the SW, the connection will remain alive.
A transpiler will be consistent and can be correct.

An LLM based solution can be correct but won’t be consistent.

I would much rather a tool be consistent and always incorrect in the same way than inconsistent and sometimes correct. I can create test cases and correct the underlying code. I can’t do that with an LLM

Conversely, if Buffett made 10% more one year, the impact on his life would be negligible. If someone has $10k, an extra $1k can make a huge difference.
The problem, as stated by the parent, is that it is "still pretty unclear at a fundamental level what it means to understand, learn, or conceptualize things."

Which Wittgenstein didn't resolve, he describes how to kick the can down the road. Which is fine, every science needs to make assumptions to move on, but in no way is that a "resolution" to the problem of "what it means to understand, learn, or conceptualize things."
Depends. In some situations it would in fact be better to have everyone discuss one person's shared screen, instead of having to constantly coordinate what they are talking about.
I find it pretty difficult to be sure what point pg is making, because he uses an ambiguous phrase "good at regulation". What does he mean by "good at regulation"? According to the UK's Institute of Chartered Accountants [0] good regulation satisfies five criteria:

* Transparency

* Accountability

* Proportionality

* Consistency

* Targeting

I'm not certain that the GDPR laws fail any of these. I'm guessing pg is getting at something more nebulous to do with how annoying the UX is as a result of the regulation, and whether it encourages civil engagement. But if he'd simply said "EU regulation has made UX annoying" then he wouldn't have such a snappy tweet.

EDIT I googled some more and found a brochure from the National Audit Office titled "Principles of Effective Regulation": https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Principles...

It does have a statement in there:

> Good regulation maximises the benefits while minimising compliance costs and unintended consequences. The benefits of regulation can be both to wider society (such as improved environmental or safety standards) and to regulated (for example, through increased consumer confidence), but not all of the benefits are necessarily easy to quantify.

Put that way, I can get on board with what pg's saying.
I am old but the best thing I read when I was young was that it was unlikely I will have one career but several careers and have to reinvent myself a few times.

That was true for me and even more true now. Learn to love to learn and reinvent yourself or become a plumber's apprentice.
> If you believe in free market fundamentalism, why regulate anything? Just label things.

I'll answer like you're not sarcastic.

In the free market, things won't be labeled. Why? "Just don't buy the products without labels!". What if 100% of the available products isn't labelled, because you have no one in position of power (those who sell those products or houses) that benefits from it. You have to buy homes anyway, it's not something you can skip.

Also, realistically, no actor in the free market has 100% of the knowledge in existence at any moment. Some (and probably most TBH) people will not know that asbestos is carcinogen.

Now, I believe you were sarcastic, because I can't think you imagined that there are no power dynamics at play.
The other day when I was hacking together on some GCode for a small CNC table, it felt somehow very similar to me: I realized that, as a five or six year old, playing with Logo/Turtle graphics on Apple ][ machines--my first interactions with computers--was essentially the same conceptual loop.
Good question. Couldn't see any immediate answer. They characterize the device at 300C, but the supplemental material[1] shows experimental data on the phosphorus layer up to 600C.

True. But that's why good marketing had never been about the product. It has always been about how it makes you feel. You take a grouo of unhappy people and you can sell a lot of things to them if you phrase it right.

How long did it take you to get back to base levels? I would say it took me years.

Do you notice a physical difference. I do notice a different but I also radically changed many aspects of my life.
Agreed, despite your justifications being cost-driven. A business is supposed to deliver. Accessibility is part of that. Much like we wouldn't accept rotten food at a restaurant in whole or in part, we shouldn't be okay with leaving out accessibility to at least some standard. If a restaurant can't deliver and serves rotten food, we should be okay with it going out of business. This holds for software companies that view accessibility as technical debt/#todo items.

Especially web accessibility standards are so tenplatizable and test driven now, there really is no excuse.
Except for the place where they're good at hardware, they're not good at hardware? I mean that's true, but a bit of a twist of logic, wouldn't you say?

> Warren Buffett, who has used to to make billions of dollars

The assertion is that markets are about voting first but then weighing later. There is a similar clash of metrics going on in the article. Focus on identifying and following the rich and successful up front, then worry about proofreading and getting the metrics right later if at all. Don't bother with the details of getting the weight metric right, just worry about reacting to market volatility with the right attitude.

Lots of investors have tried to follow value without generating the same success as Mr. Buffet. This article is shameful starry eyed slop that will make no one rich.

Good point. I would prefer to write in HTML/JS. Vanilla JS is probably the way to go.

I think modern frameworks are so bad at perf because they assume people just have so much compute available and are focusing on one app at a time.
Consider the opposite. The company has a market cap of $100bn and $10bn in cash. If you buy the company out for $100bn, you automatically also get $10bn cashback. So it's more like it is worth 90bn, plus has some cash attached - but that bit is a wash.

Debt is negative cash, so instead of subtracting it from market cap, you add it in.
Improving a 1960s Plan to Explore the Giant Planets
Primatologist Frans de Waal has died
If you know web dev it’s not to bad. Pick your own http framework, Axum/Actix, pick your favourite template language/library. Not as simple as Rails/Django but shouldn’t be anything unexpected. Rust on Nails tries to give you an opinionated setup instead of composing your own to make the choices for you with reasonable options.

REST style stuff is generally trivial.

I personally do my web dev in Rust. Admittedly it does take a little more effort but I don’t think massively. The advantages are good type system, compile time errors, with a few settings, small binary sizes and great performance. I don’t really care about speed as long as it’s reasonable but Rust performance allows me to run apps on the cheapest lowest spec servers and still beat NodeJS/Python on far more expensive servers.

But that's not over communication, that's just pollution of radio space.

For example, in a recent incident I ended up kinda in charge / responsible for the database as the application encountered some weird lifelock with row and table locks. In such a situation, if no one needed the radio space, I ended up announcing the status of the database every few minutes, even if nothing really changed.

Or, if someone does something, give feedback if this has a noticeable effect on your system or not. Or quickly ask if you want to do something that could affect them, no matter how little that is. "App, I'll modify setting xyz, tell me if that has an effect".
"Ability against models with 10x or 100x more parameters"

This is a small model optimized for retrieval and function calling. "Reasoning" makes an appearance in the title but no standard benchmarks of general ability, such as MMLU or HumanEval, are mentioned. No details about the training process and no access to the models other than via API.

Nice marketing, but looks empty. I can also make an LLM that runs 1000x faster than Mistral:

def complete(prompt): print('As an AI language model...')
> actions are taken to ensure it doesn't happen again

That sentence captures most incident related problems well. While I love a culture where mistakes are owned, care must be taken to not end up in a culture where nothing is ever getting better.

If something wasn't properly tested, or the test environment was lacking, that policy must be permanently repaired. Not laughed at in a "everyone makes mistakes" kind of way. Everyone does make mistakes, and that must be taken into account.

What I guess I'm trying to say is that a failure to work professionally is not like operational failures. A culture of owning mistakes is good, but not all mistakes are alike.
They don't "train on log₂(3) bit". Gradients and activations are still calculated at full (8-bit) precision and weights are quantised after every update.

This makes network minimise loss not only with regard to expected outcome but also minimises loss resulting from quantisation. With big networks their "knowledge" is encoded in relationships between weights, not in their absolute values so lower precision work well as long as network is big enough.
