YouTube, TikTok, FaceBook (and any large game) have code push. And of course every app that uses a WebView or any other OTA service.

I do think code push is hard to get right. I think that's one of the values hopefully Shorebird can provide, by offering an easy-to-use and easy-to-get-right solution that's accessible to teams who use Flutter, but don't have an extra 10 engineers to write their own code push solution.

I feel very aligned with the stores in that what I want are great apps for users. Having users stuck on buggy/broken apps is a pain not just for companies but also for the platforms and most importantly the users (including from a security perspective).

Why the 'nobody is behind me' ?
I mean, being fair, the 2.4GB CUDA SDK is absolutely required for the cPython implementation as well
Great question.

Right now, the roadmap includes extending the training optimizer sections to include techniques beyond LoRA.

Furthermore, the testing suite will be extended to add more unit-tests that are task dependent.

I know that other repositories exist with similar functionalities but they can be too low level for the day-to-day data scientist to understand. Also, there are several repositories that are too specific for either testing, fine-tuning, etc. Our repository consolidates the most critical aspects of running fine-tuning experiments while being lightweight for anyone to understand and play with.
Early on in my engineering career, there are a handful of times I was assigned to a project where I was set up to fail. I didn't understand the situation until far too late. There are a few tell-tale symptoms: I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do; I didn't really know how to do it; and I didn't understand how the assigned work actually solved a higher-level problem. No one else did, either (these situations usually represent a failure of management.)

As those projects dragged on and I was unable to make "progress", whatever that meant, I felt shame and a mounting dread of returning to the console each day. Eventually, fortunately, I was able to roll off them (not having accomplished much in the preceding month or two) and got back to doing useful things.

These days I can usually recognize such projects in advance, but it's still not always possible to avoid them.

That sounds irrelevant to Python and just a matter of slow code cropping up in libraries until someone runs a profiler.
Cost is definitely a part of the definition of simplicity in board design; so is ease of development. So yes, it does feel perverse but just sticking a microcontroller in it is often the simplest solution to a low-speed digital problem. Somebody had to design that microcontroller and it probably has a bunch of errata that basically say a quarter of it doesn’t work, but that’s already done and they are not that much more expensive (if at all) than a 555 timer. It probably isn’t even losing on power consumption.

Simplicity is weird.
I wouldn't have expected that. Is it just a relative lack of interest in building an AI which can dominate Scrabble?

It's a partial-information game, but the search space can't be as big as Go, and an AI has an advantage over human players in that the entire valid string family can be encoded into a trie or some other efficient data structure, it's never going to forget a word or think it can play one that isn't valid.

My intuition is that AI should be able to crush the best human players at this point in time, but I'm open to being corrected on that if there's some aspect of the game which I'm not modeling correctly.
Shows contempt for "Intellectual Property", at least.

Is this the aberration or is the previous strict insistence on the near sacredness of "Intellectual property"?

God's Word says Satan is permitted to run this world, encouraging us to think his way, until judgement comes later. He does it by appealing to their sinful desires. Our own selfishness does the rest.

"in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them" (2 Cor. 4:4)

So, let's contrast the truth. In my other comment, I mentioned what the sinful kids and Satan are destined for. It's not pretty.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39973866

What about heaven? In Genesis 2, before the Fall, man had fellowship with God, hung out with each other, did work, and rested. God said all good things are a gift from Him. If it's not sinful, it might exist in heaven. For its nature, fruit of the Spirit is "love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control." So, imagine all human activities that are fun and embodied with those virtues. That's Heaven.

We have a taste of it here on Earth in the Church. We mostly go about our day, do our jobs, spend time with our families, and enjoy our hobbies. In church service, we worship God together and serve others in love. In spare time, we hang out, enjoy good food, go on vacation together, play games, share stories, etc. The problems in churches come from our sinful natures which God will eliminate (called glorification) once our time here is up.

So, one place has us separated from everyone, in a lake of fire, and burning non-stop. Satan will be there, too. The other is every good thing you can imagine on Earth done in a better way, other things you can't imagine, your friends there, and the very presence of God giving you fullness of joy. Christ and His Heaven are the obvious choice. Anyone suffering here on Earth are also told to keep their eye on the prize which is our future inheritance.

This is cool! My understanding of chip fab rather weak, but it sounds like this only gets you transistors on a single substrate-adjacent layer. Is that not a significant limitation?
I don’t think I understand fully, do you have some links on this?
It sort of isn't though. You put it there and you don't take it away. You don't put anything else in there to load it. It stops loading entirely if you take out the ethernet cable. That kind of seems like it's loading from the internet every single time. The setup function doesn't add anything to load it without the init script running. That's kind of weird, to me at least.
Charitably, one could also read the quote as saying people should be actively opposing these atrocities, instead of staying neutral during them.
>Goldman Sach's IB Analysts starting salaries at the SF office were $90k with minimal bonuses in 2020. These same people could have worked at Google or Microsoft (and most of them legitimately had that option)

When I graduated from Columbia in 1999, I interviewed and got offers at various tech startups, but entry-level jobs on the "PM track" for those without a CS/engineering degree didn't formally exist at the likes of Microsoft or Yahoo as far as I know. I had a technical background, but was almost entirely self-taught, and had no interest in writing code for money anyway. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36027171>

Of my offers I chose Goldman, where I worked with tech companies. Thank goodness for that; I got to participate in the dotcom bubble without being directly swept up in its popping, and saw the Valley immediately post-bubble collapse. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34726735>

My GS starting salary was 40K. During that first year, because of the dotcom bubble, Goldman raised the salary to $55/65/75K for first/second/third-year analysts, and my end-of-year bonus in 2000 was close to 100% of salary. Then the full effect of the recession/market crash hit and the 2001 bonus was, well, much smaller.
Also what we perceive as "heroic" especially in a fantasy/super-hero context, tends to ultimately be status quo preserving, which frequently means the villains tends to be the "cool" "disruptive" characters, and if the world isn't sufficiently perfect then it's easy for some people to start believing that any disruption is justified.

It appears that only Russia could prevent or end the conflict. On the territory that Russia controls they have build concentration camps to torture and murder the insufficiently loyal as they set about grinding their cities to dust their people to gore and erasing a culture and a people.

It seems like ceding any territory now would lead to further conflict soon both in Ukraine and elsewhere based on both recent history and Russias statements.

Furthermore it would abandon those in these territories to privation and mass murder same as the soviets perpetrated against them in the past.

Also worth noting that the toolkit comes with 3 settings:

You are conflating entirely different statistics. For every stat other than driverless vehicles, you used the fatality rate. For autonomous vehicles, you used the accident rate, and you included all manufacturers and a stat from 3 years ago.

> We really need SO-DIMM slots on the RTX series (or AMD/Intel equivalent) so that we can expand the RAM as we need it to. Is there a technical problem to it?

I imagine it would incur a non trivial latency and cost penalty. The memory modules are placed pretty close to the compute die right now. Cooling would also have to change (the memory modules produce a lot of heat).

But there is also no reason for any of the GPU manufacturers to do this. A skew with twice as much memory can go for a lot more than the difference in memory cost alone
It’s a massive deterrence. LoJack has been in business since 1986 for a reason.

Also, the attitude of “don’t go and get your stuff back yourself, it’s not safe” is just castrated cowardice and only emboldens thieves. Thieves should be afraid of both law enforcement and vigilante response. Better society when both are on the table.

> Has anyone ever actually found this to be true?

It depends.

I've written a number of apps where I'm fearless with making changes because I trust the tests I wrote. One of the apps has been running for 7 years and it's had a lot of big updates, refactors, etc.. I'm breaking every rule there is on jinxing things but there hasn't been a single bug introduced due to those updates and there's ~85% coverage. It's only a ~3k line Flask app though, but it does get deployed straight to production with no staging environment and gets hundreds of requests per day. It writes to a DB, Redis, interacts with multiple 3rd party APIs and sends out webhooks so it does quite a few "external" things.

I've never been a fan of TDD and personally I think tests that really hit your DB, Redis, etc. help a lot more than mocked out unit tests or a billion unit tests and nothing else. I tend to write more tests that really test things together. Not full blown Selenium style tests, but I do really write to the DB and other data stores in tests and often use a framework's built-in test client for making HTTP calls. Everything can still be really fast too (~100 tests in 2 seconds is my usual rough guide for having an assortment of "real" tests with Flask).

Free solar projection tool beats commercial competition
Researchers have found that NYSolarCast, New York state’s dedicated tool for predicting solar generation forecasts, is often more accurate in predicting solar generation than existing tools, and is also updated more frequently, every 15 minutes. The study, NYSolarCast: A Solar Power Forecasting System for New York State, shows the tool’s proficiency in forecasting global horizontal irradiance (GHI) using data from various locations in the state, often outshining its commercial counterparts.

99% coverage does not mean you have good tests. Yes, I have experienced that good tests, combined with a good understanding which parts are critical and which are not, create a great comfort about introducing changes, whether it's Friday afternoon or Monday morning.

I don't think it has anything to do with it. Android's security comes from design, not language. Each application runs under its own UID and not all applications can draw arbitrary content on your screen, for example.

Those things could be on the Linux Desktop. And maybe flatpak will bring it to us. But for now I can already hear the screeching about "freedom" and "the Unix philosophy".

Noble elements were for rack mount machines (like our NAS).

Memory speed is more or less directly proportional to how close the memory is to the processor, with the fastest memory being literally inside the processor (SRAM cache), followed by memory on the same package as the processor (HBM GPUs, Apple M-series), followed by soldered down discrete memory chips (regular GPUs, games consoles), followed by socketed DIMMs in distant last place. There's not really any getting around it, the bandwidth that GPUs crave just isn't compatible with modularity.

Even CPUs are starting to move their memory closer to the core in the name of performance, as mentioned Apple is already doing it, Intel is making Xeons with on-chip memory now, and they have a version aimed at consumers on their roadmap.
The land would be the easy part. Hiring a PI, a team of subject matter experts on botany, metallurgy, and genetics, a few skilled lab technicians, a couple programmers or statisticians, an environmental compliance expert, and whoever else I forgot, probably costs more than $1M/yr and ideally there would be more than a single team. I have no idea what reagents and bespoke GMO plants cost, but it can't be cheap.
Without knowing what Flutter version Classroom was using before impeller was released and how active development is on Classroom at google its hard to say if they could easily upgrade to the latest version. Flutter has had a lot of breaking changes leading up to the impeller release so it's hard to say if they actually upgraded to the newest version although yeah it is bad that they haven't done it by now if they didn't and if they did upgrade to impeller and it's still slow that's also bad.
This is why I'm neutral on the value of unit tests. Sometimes they are helpful, other times less so.

I am always in favor of tests around the boundaries between system components (regardless of what you call them; integration tests, API tests, etc.) The more robust the better.

If I'm working on a system with robust (ideally generative) integration tests covering the interface of a component, I feel I have near-complete freedom to rewrite any aspect of the component I want with high confidence.
The project tells people to put a line in their zshrc which fetches and runs a script. To spell out why that's worse than a normal auto-updater would be: it enables the server operators to distinguish users who have installed it in a way where they can serve malware, from users who are downloading it once for inspection purposes. For example, they could serve malware only to IP addresses that have fetched the script every day for a month. Random curious developers and security researchers are very unlikely to do that, but someone who actually put this line in their zshrc would.

This would also explain why it's pointed at the developer's server, rather than a GitHub URL: if it were a GitHub URL, it would be impossible to do malicious substitutions like this.

I don't think Diamond was a reductionist, he often considers multiple factors, as many as most academics IMO.

Did the professor have a single factor who they tried to reduce anything to (and was mad that Diamond didn't share the same favourite hobby horse), or consider multiple factors (like Diamond, but maybe with a different set of factors), was the only way to solve a problem "study it lots and trust the expert", or is the solution "not everything can be solved, sometimes Donald Trump's guess is as good as mine" (but with more fancy words I'm assuming).
Yes this commenter isn’t racist and frankly I find it sad that they think they are.

I hope they figure that out for themselves soon, sounds sad to constantly think of yourself in such a negative way.
