After the first lecture of my first programming course in college, I went to the Professor Tewksbury and started to tell him about a simulator I was writing to help other students check their work.

He holds up his hand to stop me speaking, says “you have an A. Don’t come to class anymore.”

So, I never went to class or did any of the assigned work, instead working on the simulator in my dormroom. At the end of the term I got a failing mark. I went to Tewksbury, and he had no recollection of having told me that I shouldn’t come to class. I tried explaining myself about the simulator, and showed him. He grudgingly agreed to change my mark, seeming suspicious.

Despite my attempts to work with the dept, the simulator never got used.

This is a great question. Apropos of nothing it is important to proactively ask for the definition of lies be adjusted to exclude a large portion of his public statements, which is a very normal thing to do when discussing anyone’s honesty.

That aside here is a cool website I’ve found

Verifying sources is a huge responsibility of news networks. You can get a source for anything you want, and they should be held reliable (in terms of respect, maybe not by law) for publishing information from sources that are false.

IF (and that's the IF, not saying it's the case) Tesla did not drop plans to build $25k EVs, then people should criticize reuters for getting it wrong.
And there's a second minefield called the portable build solution, but we don't talk about it much.

Oh wow, I had a virtually identical experience.

I was a junior programmer helping out with a Java applet game that ran in the browser.
It had performance issues, which I narrowed down to a “ticker tape” text animation. The position of the text in pixels was being updated by a background thread, and that thread would leak each time when the user switched screens. If you clicked around enough there would be hundreds of threads all updating the same shared variable.

I replaced a thousand lines of that nonsense with a single line of code:

return getTicks() * velocity % tickerWidth;

It looked identical except that now there weren’t any threads used and the animation was silky smooth.

I got in trouble for “making a mess”. The developer responsible for the previous code had been busy (for weeks!) “fixing” this code and couldn’t merge his change. So it got reverted and they spent another month tuning the threaded code for better performance.

I waited until they got distracted and gave up, then re-merged my one-liner. They were convinced they had “fixed it” and never looked at that code again.

The responsible coder got a pat on the back for his hard work and I got a disciplinary meeting to discuss my “behaviour”.

This was at a startup that burned through ten million dollars and then was shuttered because the software was basically garbage and couldn’t be sold to anyone.
Put on a instant meeting product that was "top priority". 4 months of good work with an understaffed team, come to find out they had another team in another office doing same thing, who knew about us, but not us them... We were naively doing demos while management knew this was throwaway.
With what's happening in the EU with the GDPR on one hand and with the DMA on the other, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the new business model for social media companies.
Pretty cool, though my take is that if it's recharging just from induction it's essentially stealing the electricity... I suppose if the owners of the lines want to have autonomous drones monitor their status, that's not stealing, but if you wanted to release some little flying vampire drones of your own which could run indefinitely that way, someone might be less amused.
If you read past the inaccurate headline to their report you'll see that they really mean "western-built commercial air transport jets that carry over 40 passengers (including cargo aircraft)". They also exclude business jets.

But you had no such disclaimer, hence the correction.
The buttons on mine are the same size, one has a picture of 1 water droplet on it and the other has 2 droplets.
Goes both ways. Sounds like a good way for an employer to create a hostile work environment. Not the way to get and keep happy, productive employees.
Kodak was well aware of what was going to happen. Company culture killed digital photography.

I was at Apple when we worked with engineers from Kodak who were working to change various format standards to allow digital photos. This was in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Research such as.....

As long as hiring managers continue to give more weight to resumes with name brand colleges, these universities will never be threatened.
The most useless thing I worked on was as a working student. The whole org was developing on one specific product (around 200 people) for around 4 years.
Our company did a strategic acquisition and the acquired company made the same kind of product our org was doing. Their product was already in use, so they disassembled our org overnight and moved the affected teams to different projects.

The software architect of my team was heartbroken because of this. He was fully committed and it was exactly his dream to work on such a product. The last 4 years he was working his ass off and everything went to waste. I still feel bad for him.
Do we have a BLAS equivalent on WebGPU or WebNN?
At one point a project in a research group I'm part of did automatic parsing of the entire OEIS to find relations between different existing sequences. Using a very simple approach, they found ~300 000 000 relations (e.g. meaning one sequence can be expressed as some combination of other sequences); see section 4 of [1].

However they submitted only three (!) of those back to OEIS.
Even with 130 reviewers on the OEIS side, submitting all of those relations would have basically been a Denial-of-service attack on the review process.

My father is very academic and he tends to start projects but not finish them. I also recognise the same fault in myself. But I've fought it hard and won a few times with some long-term successes (using a variety of personal strategies to avoid my unproductive tendencies).

We have many concepts related to what you are saying: analysis-paralysis, productivity porn, ivory tower, etcetera, etcetera.

I find the fields of psychology and philosophy are mostly tar-fields of unactionable thinking. Unfortunately I also find them interesting!

Finding the gems in the tar is hard, but Adam seems to find a few of them.

Hm. I first caught my glimpse of HTML/CSS when I was around that age. I had an older friend who introduced me to Hack This Site and the Matrix movie. That's what initially piqued my interest to dig into programming (HTML was the first topic recommended by HTS).

So, is there a particular reason he wants to learn? If not, maybe watch the Matrix or similar with him to bring that interest to new heights. Try out Hack This Site (it's still around). There's nothing better than experimentation. Whatever his other hobbies are, make something around that. It could be a simple static page about Spongebob, or something. He can take that skeleton of a site and swap out the elements for another one of his interests (i.e. Change the Spongebob images, text, etc. with Invader Zim).

From there, he'll probably continue learning, especially if he's anything like me, holding some of the same interests since 10 years old.

No, because "in the world" when talking about programming languages seems very odd.

IMO there’s a large overlap in the venn diagram of Redditors who are good at churning and Redditors who spreadsheet their way to retirement. For example, the podcast I linked to in another comment is from a guy who is FIRE’d.
It has nothing to do with IQ, and everything with turning people into cogs in a machine. Following the rules, no matter how inane, is safe. Making a judgment call to break the rules exposes one to risk, and people who will review it later will likely be in the same conundrum themselves (i.e. it's always safer for them to conclude that breaking the rules was not justified), all the way to the top.

This is also why the larger and the more hierarchical any organization is, the more sociopathic it is as a whole, even if its bureaucracy is ran by people who aren't.
So which power adaptor would you recommend for the 14 inch m3 MacBook Pro for someone who (probably) doesn't need the fast charging feature?
You don't seem to be concerned at all by the ballooning student loan debt.

Also, it's not clear that the wage premium from attending college has to do with what is learned in college. Some scholars believe that it is largely a signaling device. Others believe that it is used as a proxy for general intelligence tests, which companies try to avoid using when hiring employees (due to a SCOTUS case from several decades ago, dealing with disparate racial impact).

It may be true that the wage premium has outweighed the cost of attendance in the recent past, but this could easily change as tuition continues rising, and critically as interest rates are much higher than in recent years. The discount rate to which future earnings are subject is much larger than in the past 30 years, which means that the required wage premium has to be much larger than if the interest/discount rate were closer to zero. Basically, ZIRP was a boon for colleges, not just startups.
And then it will settle on the seafloor again. How did it end up there in the first place? By being denser than water.

Because the economy functions better when decoupled and provides autonomy in current paradigm. Consider a future when those in power, rich don't depend on majority for food, transportation and security or services then they don't have the need to convince you to work for them.
In the article the main and reserve chutes were tangled with each other, so maybe these probabilities aren't independent and can't be multiplied?
I've been the other guy in this scenario before.. because it's a deprecated tool, this is a low risk way to demonstrate some reliability improvements, and a way for the TL to 'scratch the itch' of reducing risk. The other guy's improvements will be built into the new tool.
Check mate. He cannot have lied about Tesla if anything he says about Tesla is categorically excluded from being a lie for the purposes of this conversation.
I’ve been playing with my son, but using my shoebox full of old cards, many with an “IV” logo so must have been around 4e that I was playing back in the day.

The game is complex, but a good intellectual challenge for a bright 6yo reader.
I’ve been reading these articles for years, but I’ve yet to experience any practical use of webassembly outside of contrived demos. Where do people use all this stuff? Does anyone use it?
Just brainstorming, but would it be possible to pull out the MTG-specific portions and make it just an online card game framework where people can make their own cards and rules? If people choose to use it to copy MTG that's on them (see Tabletop Simulator, for example) but they might also use it to create their own new games.
The discussion section is quite illuminating.

"While much recent attention has been on the
problem of LLMs misleadingly presenting fiction as fact
(hallucination), this may be less of an issue than the
problem of representativeness across a distribution of
possible responses. Hallucination of verifiable, concrete
facts is often easy to correct for. Yet many real world
questions do not have well-defined, verifiably true and
false answers. If a user asks, for example, “What causes
inflation?” and a LLM answers “monetary policy”, the
problem isn’t one of hallucination, but of the failure to
reflect the full-distribution of possible answers to the
question, or at least provide an overview of the main
schools of economic thought."
A16Z is a major investor of "Open" "AI" and the techno-optimism movement espouses the belief that technology is inherently good (which is patently false).

Kodak was essentially a chemical company at one point. They even spun off an actual chemical company. Kodak could probably have played a better hand even if they did probably before their time things like PhotoCD. But they could have been Apple or maybe Instagram? That's a stretch.

I'm not a particular Kodak apologist but suggesting that a company should have been able to anticipate and correct for their business collapsing by 90% in a decade or so seems to need a lot of particulars.
Yes, we do kind of.
Computers are good at things we find hard. And are bad at things we find easy.

We can't multiply a million numbers together in a second which is hard for us. But doing the tasks for laundry is easy for us but hard for computers.

Which makes sense if you think about evolutionary pressures of what we are optimized to do well.
Awesome story, and a good lesson in "always get it in writing"

> fans and pumps to move heat in or out of the house or water around the garden, they're a pain because they break, it's only worth it if you're running a commercial operation.

Um, what? AC and sprinklers? Those are common in homes.
At risk of taking the bait with this flippant comment, I’d like to highlight your critique of what others used to long for as “targeted therapy” or “personalized medicine”. I suppose we could always step backward to a world dominated by systemic cytotoxic chemo, though. Which, to be fair, still has its place.

Cancer tends to evolve at a rate that outpaces treatment innovation, and the molecular determinants can be wildly heterogenous. For example, a lung cancer patient can have half a dozen tumors that all harbor independent oncogenic drivers. It is not uncommon for a patient to undergo treatment with a target therapy and see complete tumor responses in some lesions, while others grow unimpeded.

We did not develop our own code base. Humans are a black box and drug development is HARD.
Great time to spend on whatever you want to learn about.

As a manager, when this happens I tell my staff that the sleeping firefighter performs valuable work.

Sometimes management decides it’s worth it to spend staff time on something even though there’s a non-zero probability it will never be used. If there’s no fire during the firefighter’s shift, we don’t conclude her time was wasted and that we should never have had the firefighter.
However, not many seem to remember New York being a Dutch colony. It's where we get the names Harlem and Brooklyn from among others.

Sit back and relax. Make this project more popular. People will decide for themselves.

> If employer is already paying you a salary, just be grateful. People always act like their employers owe them. You're an employee at will.

Why should anyone "be grateful" for the salary they are owed? They fulfilled their side of the contract.

For that matter, why should employees have to waste their own salary if their employers can't afford a phone to run the apps they require? They should be looking around and getting ready to jump ship.
Nvidia Releases DLSS 3.7.0 with Quality E Preset for Image Quality Improvements
I appreciate your dupe posts sometimes, but when the other posts have just a handful of comments (less than this thread at the time you commented), it seems like a bit of a red herring. What's the point?

In the time of SGI, I believe it had a lot of posix compliance problems.

And if memory serves, the Bible (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/603263.Advanced_Programm...) didn’t cover it, which was a problem.
I feel like this has always been the case. The entire information economy is based on a few key publishers and figures. You see it in news, academia, social media -- there's orthodoxy everywhere. Not sure how AI is any different.

As a very happy Model Y owner, my suggestion is that no one buy a new model Tesla for 3-6 months after release (I would wait 6 personally).

The 3 and Y releases were both train wrecks (esp. the 3), and it looks like Truck may be the same.

Time will tell.

All that said, I think Tesla eventually gets production to where they want it to be.
Chelsea miraculously left Stamford Bridge last night as the winning side as forward Cole Palmer bagged a hattrick against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.

The match was played in London on Thursday, April 4.

Both teams were shocked at the outcome, as Man United were still on course to win the game as of the 99th minute of the game.
It was at Amazon and I don't remember exactly what the service was called, I think it was AdSomething. It was while I worked on the Kindle Special Offers (taking advantage of the "off" screen of an e-ink Kindle to show ads) project. I find that to be one of the less offensive forms of advertising, so I was generally pretty happy on that team for a time.

But there was a service, AdWhatever, which let users go onto a sub-site of Amazon.com and just casually? recreationally? vote between two ads. You would be presented with two B&W images and click the one you liked more. I don't know that there was any incentive to do this, but I think it was a Bezos idea.

I didn't develop it, but all the routine maintenance tasks that came along (remove this deprecated library, migrate to new hardware, update your pipeline) needed to be done for AdWhatever too. That stupid service lingered for years after it was clear nobody used it, but we had to keep maintaining it until we got the go-ahead to tear it down.
I can think of some ideas: parking the heads on hard drives is one.

Magnetic hard drives are sensitive to vibration. You can shout at hard drives and measure the effects (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4).

One of the worst-case scenarios is a head crash. A head crash will damage the media and may result in data loss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_crash

My guess is that earthquakes powerful enough to cause a head crash are powerful enough for widespread destruction anyway, but I’m no expert. I did some quick searches for hard drives damaged by earthquake, and the only results I got were scenarios where the hard drives or the whole rack got knocked over by the earthquake and hit the floor.
FWIW, the horse manure story was probably invented as a reaction to the Catholic explanation that they were saved by divine providence. The whole event is so steeped in religious propaganda from both sides that I don't think we can conclusively say what happened except that both did in fact survive.

They still do core sets (every Summer, IIRC) that fulfill those basic edition sets. Lately, they've been set in external intellectual properties. Last year's was Lord of the Rings. Might sound bad, but the D&D set rekindled magic in my game group.

They had a Jumpstart product, where you could buy two half-decks and mix them together. But it looks like the last printing of that was 2022.

If you don't mind spending the time, you could just craft a starter deck on paper or find a list online, and then order the individual cards from a website. As long as you avoid the must-have cards for competitive players, it'll be cheap.
