In the context of a single freelancer, scale tends to refer to the number of developers, and the size of the client's budget, moreso than the number of requests. I would anticipate that the thresholds you have in mind will probably never be hit by these types of clients.
A complete desktop computer with the M2 Ultra w/64GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD is $4k.

The 7995WX processor alone is $10k, the motherboard is one grand, the RAM is another $300. So you're up to $11300, and you still don't have a PSU, case, SSD, GPU....or heatsink that can handle the 300W TDP of the threadripper processor; you're probably looking at a very large AIO radiator to keep it cool enough to get its quoted performance. So you're probably up past $12k, 3x the price of the Studio...more like $14k if you want to have a GPU of similar capability to the M2 Ultra.

Just the usual "aPPle cOMpuTeRs aRE EXpeNsIVE!" nonsense.

I think it would provide very little productivity boost if any (is anybody’s work seriously bottlenecked by the time it takes to find the navigation keys? What are they doing?). But also, I can’t think of any reason not to use the keys that you rest your fingers on for navigation. I mean, why not?
Most obese people still won't get cancer. And "something is off" doesn't have any reason to be cancer. It's probably any number of other things, and even if you're not obese you can still have things feel off. And there are cancers that you don't necessarily feel off for until they are really far along.

If anything these arguments are proof we can't rely on feeling off and we need reliable tests for this, because 99.9% of the time, even if you're in amazing shape, "I feel off" isn't cancer.

Closed eye visuals/hallucinations is pretty vague because certain levels of closed eye visuals/hallucinations can be seen by completely sober people without even trying and most people would not consider them a hallucination in the common usage of the word. Ive certainly never heard of from others or experienced any unusual closed eye visuals from cannabis outside of seeing it as a tv trope or government anti-drug ad. I could see it being more noticeable or slightly more active than normal while on cannabis certainly but it still seems inaccurate or perhaps deceptive to tell somebody that if they smoke weed they might have hallucinations, at least not without a much more thorough explanation on what kind of hallucination they are talking about.

Hey, I'm a senior-level software engineer that can help your team get the product you want out the door, while still focusing on maintainability of the application in the long-term. I have a history of building quickly, and shipping features on-time. When it comes to the front-end, I'm detail-oriented and up to date on almost all modern CSS techniques. When it comes to the back-end, I'm forward-thinking, working to avoid common pitfalls that can drag teams to a crawl when maintaining mature codebases. I'm quite proficient in all of the technologies listed above, and I'm flexible enough to pick up new programming paradigms quickly. I've been working under a contract for the last several months, but am looking for something more stable that I can stay at for a while. If you think I could be a great contribution to your team, hit me up! I'd love to hear from you.
If each await was to a setTimeout call waiting 1000ms, awaiting all 3 would take approximately 3000ms.

If you await a Promise.all with an array of the promises, it will take approximately 1000ms.

In summary, using individual awaits runs them serially, while Promise.all runs them concurrently.

If you’re doing CPU bound work without workers, it doesn’t make much of a difference, but if you’re doing I/O bound tasks, like HTTP requests, then doing it in parallel will likely make a significant difference.
The world would be a better place if `jkl;` took off instead of `hkjl`!

It's impossible to switch now since everything uses `hjkl` despite some people trying (for instance, the default navigation keys on i3wm are `jkl;` but everyone always changes it to `hjkl`)
He got paid a lot to do something he was presumably passionate about and enjoyed. It also might surprise you to find out that there's quite a lot of people that just work as a means to an end, and find value and enjoyment primarily from other parts of their life.
I absolutely agree that people should try to "know their bodies" and develop their intuitions as far as possible. It can make all the difference in terms of spotting a critical illness in time (not always, but sometimes).

However, health/medicine is a field rife with misinformation, rife with questionable ideas about what "intuition" can really tell you, and the dividing line between the true and the confidently incorrect can be hard to pin down.

And what really sets off alarm bells, to me at least, is proposing that it should substitute these intuitions for professional expertise, or should be understood as being at cross-purposes with it. I think the best case for valuing our intutions would come from a place of treating them as complementary to professional expertise.
> ...and equip them to make their own decisions when using the internet.

The problem here is that the tech providers have A/B tested "engagement" (overriding the will of the people using their product towards the tech providers own profit goals) on so many people that it's actually quite difficult to make one's own decisions with a default interaction these days.

Some writers have been doing some work lately on the concept of "Cognitive liberty" - freedom from undesired influences on ones thinking. It's worth pondering through in how one interacts with the common services on the internet these days.

But "kids" and "making wise decisions on their own" don't really go together. Not until well into young adulthood.
Actually using teams, to the point where you can truly experience the suck, involves having it running 8 hours a day, using it for private messaging, group chats and organizing calls/meetings.
We use Pi-hole for blocking Meta and other shit. It's also pretty decent at blocking ads.

This is all based on blacklisting so is far from infallible. You'll still need to take some interest in what your kids are up to.

Looks interesting, but I see no way to filter local models. There are only listings of popular SaaS models. Could be because I’m on mobile?
This is something I realized long back when I tried to move away from Physical Books to the Amazon Kindle. My daughter, “But you are not reading a book, you are playing or watching on your new Gadget.” I decided against that and my physical to kindle ratio is about 1:5. Same goes for phone, device, usage, etc. It is hard but I try.

I'm also trying to teach my kids the idea of files and how everything on the computer are pretty much all files.

> investors aren't shorting the stock en masse yet, in part because doing so is hard and in part because you can see DJT taking off with the meme-stock crowd.

If I were a billionaire on DJT's side, I would be trying to sucker people into a short squeeze.
Part of the point I was trying to make is that there is less benefit to Google to tout their advances - most of this are trade secrets. I could see them using it to enhance their current offerings in subtle ways.

Now that the cat is out of the bag that will likely change. Just because OpenAI publicly released a produce doesn't mean Google has not developed their own. It doesn't mean they have either.

These models still have a long way to go before they can advise Kirk on running the Enterprise:)

> Your technique seems able to help people who likely learned to read with a ruler hiding upcoming lines, or with a finger pointing at the word they say aloud, and people who read with subvocalization.

> Such readers generally process text at not much higher rates than speech, and often prefer audio books or YouTube which add visuals or emotion since reading holds no particular advantage.

I'm somewhere in between these - I subvocalize, but at about 2-3 times the speed of speech, and I hate audiobooks/etc. My eyes jump several words at once and I read them individually with my peripheral vision - so the while their example isn't really slowing me down much, it is distracting.
using AVX/FMA and unrolling loops does extremely little in the way of compiling to fast (>80% peak) GEMM code. These are very much intro steps that don't take into account many important ideas related to cache hierarchy, uop interactions, and even instruction decode time. The Fortran implementation is entirely and unquestionably inadequate for real high performance GEMMs.
Youtube uses these keys as well:

* k: start/stop playing

* l: fast forward 10s

* j: rewind 10s

Also handy:

* m: un/mute (for ads)
For most Mac applications I've used the equivalent Ctrl+<key> functions are mapped to Cmd+<key>, most obviously for cross-platform applications but also generally copy/paste/etc.

My comment was just about the positioning of the key however. I use a keyboard with programmable firmware so I can remap the actual Ctrl key to the same position since it's more comfortable.
How rude, what do our bathing habits have to do with this? ;-)

But, fair point. The gist I was trying to get across is that I don't even know what a plant smells like to you, and you don't know what a plant smells like to me. Those aren't comparable with any objective data. We make guesses, and we try to get close with our descriptions, which are in words. That's the best we can do and we share our senses. Asking more from computers seems overly picky to me.
worse yet some moron sets the search type to "regex"
It's why I bind caps lock to control and tab to escape. I also got a programmable keyboard so I can make my escape send alt when combined with another key, and also bind C-i to tab.

Then xterm turns alt-<key> into ESC <key> with metaSendsEscape, and tab sends ^I since it's the same in ASCII, so I can deal with CUA interfaces without any change in terminal behavior.
I don't know if you're being obtuse, but there's a pretty clear reason why Federal jurisdiction is required: the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.
Port knocking isn't security theater, in that it is a layer of obfuscation and (weak) authentication. I consider it another weak "noise decreased" like moving SSH to a nonstandard port. Your sshd logs will be quieter making analysis easier.
What age(s)? What is your goal? Protect from accidental click? Prevent determined child?

What is certain sites? X-rated? Political views different than your own? Only allowing religious content?

White listing for total control but high effort and use a black list less control but less effort. You could always not allow usage without a parent present but that's extremely high effort.
The original xz maintainer stated that he delegated maintenance due to (then) current mental illness issues he was facing, not because of finances.
It's relevant in the sense that it reduces the diversity in names. If the parents could both keep their surnames, they'd have two alternatives left for their children instead of one. I bet that more often than currently, people would choose the rarer name for their children.
Thanks for these -- I guess supervised outdoor activities might be good compromise
That looks cool, reminds me of long ago when I happily used Heroic, even though Celest is very different.

> The US government has a complicated relationship with Russia. The Republican Party in particular.

not really that complicated: $$$$$

because corporations are people, and can donate. that means foreign corporations.

Protip: Don't bother reading any modern books on Stoicism besides The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot. Nearly every other book after that has basically been a recycled version of it.
Disagree that cigarettes only smell when being lit. The "stale tobacco" and "ashtray" smell sticks to your clothes, your vehicle, your house, basically anywhere where it's consumed. Anyone who smoked and later quit can attest to that, mostly because you go through this period of "Oh my, did I actually smell like that"?

Of course, smoked cannabis is the same. Whatever the smoke touches will leave some sort of residue and it can smell. In my opinion the "stale cannabis" smell is more pleasant than the "stale tobacco" smell, but different people are sensitive to different things.
I didn't have any direct interactions with JT then or now - while it was hard to ignore the discussion as an onlooker, it did not touch upon any parts of the code that I was involved with. This seems to be one of the topics where everyone who is even tangentially involved is under a default suspicion of being biased in one direction or another.
As someone who has tried to beat MKL-DNN, and was unsuccessful at doing so even for constrained matrix sizes, I’m curious how they pulled off such a massive improvement.

But as someone who routinely estimates picojoules per flop at $DAY_JOB - there’s simply no way this is energy efficient. That is not even physically possible with a CPU.
Дон’т јоу ај.
I think it is safe to say we know not all people take in information at the same rate. Also some people process different forms of information at different rates. Some people can read a book and understand it clearly. Others see it once and they learn the skill. So no I do not fully believe what scientist have claimed. That may be an average or the normal but not true in every case. Furthermore how do you actually measure what rate of information that video was presenting information at? It definitely was not at a steady rate as well lots of pauses and dead spots. Speeding the video up removes some of that dead space. Also there is the depth of the information. We are not working out space time curvature equations we are being shown precious stone cutting. If I was trying to learn the skill maybe even normal speed would be too fast and slowing it down or repeating sections may be needed. But as I was just trying to get an idea of the subject a faster speed is fine. I guess what I’m thinking is there are lots of factors to consider.

Keep your job. Do this on the side. It took me two years to get some Microsoft certifications... back in the day.

Seems slow, but having a goal to leave the job... can be motivating on its own. And you'll get there. Then you can start applying for jobs. Either out of the company or laterally.

Best of luck!

After surviving multiple rounds of layoffs, I decided to quit and not wait for the final big one. (happened a few months later) That was ~7 months ago. I’ve done ZERO leetcode practice as I’ve been too busy shipping for my users and customers.

Here is what has been keeping me busy.

https://randomdailyart.com

I built and shipped a Next.js / React app for artists to maintain artist profiles and submit art to my art newsletter. Using MySQL, Prima, TypeScript, Tailwind, and React. I finally sent my 2,500,000th email/piece of art.

Onboarded 100+ artists.

Landed one big customer (name you’ve probably heard of)

As per my other reply to you, there is a difference, a for loop will take the sum of each call to fetch the image while Promise.all will do the requests concurrently, meaning the total time will be that of the slowest request.

I don't disagree with the premise we've issued blank checks for unhealthy lifestyles, but I disagree that's what the parent comment was saying.

Asking people to self diagnose inflammation is a lot different than understanding that being overweight is unhealthy.
Worth noting that a major factor in lowering the tempo from the Battle Blair Mountain (first confirmed use of airplane-dropped bombs and chemical weapons on American soil) to your average strike at a Starbucks is the huge concessions wrung out of the capital holding class.

The Battle of Blair Mountain was precipitated by the forced evictions of miners' families from company towns, over the miners' attempts to unionize. Its hard to fathom now, but imagine that the only job available was to work in a mine, the only way to do so was to live in a company town, you worked completely at will and could be fired at any time, and your family had minutes to vacate the house the company rented to you, if you got fired (and you still owed any debt you'd racked up at the company store, which was your only source for food and supplies). There are all kinds of horrendous allegations leveled against the mine operators because of the extreme leverage they had over their workers (its not clear if it ever actually happened, but the allegation of forced prostitution of miners' wives to cover the "debts" incurred when their husbands failed to meet quota because of injury or mine collapse are pretty common). Its not clear if those allegations are true, if so, indicative of a systemic issue or just the natural consequence of putting in power people with a natural penchant for imperiousness and brutality.

The coal wars are as close to a second civil war as the US has ever gotten since the first one. When you consider the working conditions the workers were trying to fix, its not difficult to say that those workers were as close to being legal slaves as it was possible to be after the first civil war without being prisoners. Of course, some mines did use prison labor, which is explicitly slavery. To further complicate that comparison most labor unions of the time explicitly barred black members, so many strikebreakers were black, and the mine operators sought them out for that reason.

Coal mining remains, to this day, one of the most dangerous jobs you can work, with horrendous impacts on the workers' health long-term, provided you survive long enough to retire. It was so much worse in the past that miners fought actual battles, with machine guns and artillery, just for the seemingly basic rights they have today.
