The difference is that before social media, the Jones were your neighbors -- your immediate, face to face, irl tribe. Social media makes everyone on planet Earth the Jones (more or less). And, let's not forget, there were no algorithms in old times, there were no bubbles created by those algorithms, there was no 24/7 constant scrolling (more or less)... These all matter, they all have an effect on the brain and on the mind.

But afforestation is too slow compared to the rate of new CO2 emissions, so that it will do little to nothing to avoid the huge peak in atmospheric CO2.
I think you're right in that when the reporter asked "What's your favorite episode?", the more autistic brother interpreted it literally as "What's the name of your favorite episode?" where other people typically re-interpret the question as "Could you describe your favorite episode in a few sentences?"

But the autistic version seems perfectly valid, and shouldn't a reporter recognize a direct answer to his question and ask a follow-up if needed? I get the feeling instead he just stared blankly until someone else translated for him...why blame the autistic person for the reporter's poor communication?
We can only create so many doctors, because its expensive to lock down a smart and ambitious mind for so many years

To be honest, the opposite is also bad. Communist Poland had no landlords, all housing was built either by the state or by the people who wanted to live there, and apartments were basically impossible to get.

If private parties have no incentives or possibilities to build, you're left with government housing, and governments are prone to overpaying and underdelivering.

The only way to ensure a right to food and shelter is by ensuring that there's enough food and shelter to be had in the first place, something which we've seen socialist systems struggle with.

The only way is to build, build, build, and when the population density demands it, build tall and build small. Apartment complexes with 5-20 floors are a far better and far cheaper idea than sprawling suburbs.
They've had a non-automatic "query advisor" in there forever, it operated on profiling data and was highly effective.
Second part of that sentence is correct. First one makes no sense in the context, and is awkwardly constructed. First part says something like "machines' private translation (as in this is the private translation business run by machines)" though there other possible interpretations

Hey guys just launched this tool to help you create quick good looking images with beautiful iamges, there are various templates to choose from. Hope you all like it.

Thanks, would like to get your feedback
Unfortunately, you just described 99% of employers. "Just quit" isn't an answer when there are no meaningful alternatives. Business views SWE/tech as a cost of doing business rather than an investment.
I recently moved into an apartment that has a heat pump. I save $50 on my electric bill per month but I also pay $1000/month more in rent because "woo wah it's new and fancy and modern"

As long as environmental friendliness is a luxury, nothing is going to happen. This is the dynamic that needs to be disrupted, somehow.

Large expenses like laptops could just be treated the same way accounting will treat them: if you spend $2100 on a laptop that's counted as $700 spent now, $700 in a year, and $700 the year after.

Since you don't have to comply with tax codes for internal budgets you could even allow developers to choose (within reason) which deprecation period to use for each item.

This is why the AWS marketplace is an incredibly powerful tool.

In most engineering departments they control their existing P&L which will include opex AWS spend. Spending within an existing vendor doesn't need budgetary approval as long as the opex doesn't exceed the budget.

It allows flexibility to find savings within the opex budget to spend elsewhere on better tooling.

It's not a good translation. The participle is in the wrong form, the first part of the sentence does not make sense in this context and reads something like "this is the machine's private business's translation".
> It's not like they are necessarily screwing you over if they don't give you a 30% raise

Yes, but I wasn't asking about whether the raise is 30%. If you have a 12% raise during 30% inflation then you can buy 18% less, for example.

> That's not a profit dude. It's the simple phenomenon of everything costing more. Since most businesses are hurt by inflation, stocks do not keep up with rapid inflation.

It wouldn't have to be a profit for my point to work.

But have you looked at stocks? The S&P 500 went up not just more than 30%, it went up more than 50%. Stocks did profit. And that's versus the relative peak. Any other baseline in the range of 4 years ago and the increase is even higher, and from 5 years ago it's up 75%.

> But that means the lender gets screwed. It is a dysfunctional situation.

You can't make everyone happy, but I was focusing on the experience of a relatively average person.
not a fair comparison. water does not have alternatives.
Thank you for everything you've done. I have a few AirGradients, and they are rock solid.

Native Home Assistant integration would be fantastic. I already have mine connected using ESP32, and it works well, but setup is a bit finicky. Would be great to have something easily flashable.
this is true for small datasets.

on large datasets, once loaded into GPU memory, cross GPU shuffling with NVLink is going to be much faster than CPU to RAM.

on the H100 boxes with 8x400Gbps, IO with GDS is also pretty fast.

for truly IObound tasks I think a lot of GPUs beats almost anything :-)
I very much hope Casey Handmer's Terraform Industries succeeds. It's the best case plan I'm aware of for dealing with CO2. Put carbon capture, electrolyser and sabatier style reactor directly next to solar panels, produce Methane, pipe it directly into normal natural gas pipelines, use it to produce fuel and everything we currently use oil for, so everything that uses this methane is carbon neutral.

Arguably, on the web a difference between 300 KB and 700 KB doesn't matter either, many web pages have a single hero image bigger than that.

But for a long time one main critique point was that WASM apps are "bloated", so its good to see counter examples, and that devs start caring about trimming fat in general (this would also be a good thing for many desktop applications tbh).

The problem of new indexes messing up otherwise good queries is something I've battled on and off for the past decade with Postgres. Definitely annoying.
Honeycomb Hotel is one of my favorite logic puzzles, by Everett Kaser.

A hexagon grid with different possible attributes for each hex is shown, as well as a bunch of logic rules.

Using those rules, you have to whittle down the possibilities until every hex has both a single object in it as well as a path that goes through it from one edge of the hex to the other, and the path makes a single coninuous path through all the hexes.

The presentation looks super old and retro, but it's a lot of fun and I keep coming back to it. It's available for Windows, Mac, and mobile.

There's also a bunch of other logic puzzle games on the site as well, and they're all interesting, but this one is my favorite.

Although I'll give an honorable mention to Willa's Walk, too, a game where you deduce a loop through all the rooms by using a few simple rules to deduce which doors the path will go through and which are actually walls.

It's quite funny to me that "open source" has turned out to be a significantly more confusing term than "Free Software" due to the fact that people don't seem to understand why the word "source" is in there.

The word "source" is literally meant to mean "where it comes from", both in regards to executable software, and large language models. If the training data for a language model is not "open", then the language model is not "open source", full stop. Training data is the source of a language model in the same way code is the source of an executable program.
Well, burning oil kills people, but they can't afford to defend themselves. When you're watching your kids die in your country's fifth freak heatwave/power outage in a year it will be little comfort to know that at least people in rich countries got to have cheap gas.
> I think everyone understands that but it’s cheap and the world depends on energy. So it’s not they people don’t get it, it’s that the world is working toward getting renewables cheap enough to fulfill current and future energy needs.

The realization that needs to be reached (but won't, because people don't think that way) to power real change is that it's not cheap; we just don't pay the externalities at the pump, so we get used to thinking that it's cheap.
This is a minority point of view on quantum computing, as I understand.
> Being given antibiotics at such an early age will probably severely dysregulation gut microbiota.

It’s extremely common for young kids to receive antibiotics. In some countries, antibiotics are over the counter and many parents will give their kids antibiotics for nearly any infection. Antibiotic misuse is rampant in some countries where they aren’t gated behind prescriptions.

Any such link with autism would therefore be an extremely rare side effect. The rate of antibiotic use in children is far higher than the rate of autism.

I don’t think this case supports the antibiotic theory by itself at all. I think it’s confirmation bias because antibiotics are one of the current trending theories among mainstream discussion.
If you don't think any other country (not just in Europe) wouldn't kill for the next big American big tech company to have been founded within its borders instead, I don't know what to tell you.
I don’t think this argument holds water. US lawmakers make millions of dollars beyond their salaries; the salary for the position is basically irrelevant. You could eliminate the salary and no fewer people would try for the job.

Conversely, you could 10x the salary and no more people would try for the job.

The paycheck simply isn’t a significant factor in whether or not someone wants to be a senator or representative.
Yes. Honestly it’s way too stimulating — I read way faster than I listen, so when I scroll quickly it just feels super off. Also, the content is just tech people talking — it’s cool how it’s like an sf house party but 24/7 but there’s a reason I only go to those 3 hours a week at maximum. Will like to see how it evolves though, always love to see new social media projects.
It’s not that. Otherwise no one would use gmail. The difference is that gmail works

TypedDicts are disappointing because you can't partially define a type? That seems like a success

In go you would need to define all fields in your struct and if you needed unstructured data you would have to define a map, which even then is partially typed

How should extra keys behave in "typed python?"
Have you ever seen anyone build a software project end-to-end using only "AI" to write code? It can be done and the process is illuminating, specifically when you look at what the AI actually contributes.

At the very minimum, you need a human operator who can a) work with stakeholders to gather requirements and express them as unambiguous prompts, b) debug code that they themselves didn't write and c) build a coherent architecture for integrating, packaging, and deploying the code IRL.

In a very tangible sense, it's similar to outsourcing the coding to a consultant who is fast but sloppy and hard to communicate with. They may be quick but it takes considerable effort to clean up after them. No manager would ever put up with a human employee that "behaved" like an LLM (fast delivery with no quality control, outright lies and hallucinations, constantly ignoring subtle aspects of the instructions). LLMs are cheap and fast, but you must compensate heavily for their faults.

Think about the core skills that we identified as table stakes for working effectively with AI: sussing out requirements, exceptional debugging, and a solid sense of software architecture. I think you find those are the core skills of most good software developers! AI merely raises the bar for software professionalism - it's no longer enough to "just write code", you need engineering leadership and project management skills to tie it all together. Those skills are now in higher demand.

The only programming jobs that need to be worried are the mindless code-monkey positions. If your only contribution is the code you type in your editor, yeah AI's taking your job tomorrow. As we flood the market with "code", consider that its value trends toward zero. And since code is but one of the necessary ingredients in making a software system, those other factors rise in value.
It, supposedly, also gives you the experience and connections to start your own SBA-style consulting business. Contracting for the government requires knowing the right people to meet and the right paperwork to submit. It can be a very lucrative gambit if successful.
As with many things spread by the Internet, I think it's just lowered the bar (and the effort) for participation. But the brains are the same.
There was a lot fewer people back then, in most places the ratio of people to available housing was much lower. The network effects were also far weaker, expensive air travel and worse communications meant that people didn't move to big cities as often.
Let's just say I've been astoundingly impressed at the quality of drivers on this forum. Come on, everyone stomps on their brakes for unexpected stuff, or has to jump back into the lane when it wasn't as clear as you thought[1]. You just code it, like almost all drivers do, as "someone else's fault", so it doesn't get filed away in your brain as something automation can fix. But it is, and I'm telling you straight up that it does.

[1] Seriously, you see this happen around you hourly (or frankly more often) in urban traffic. You really think none of those drivers count?
Not a likely solution.

Housing supply is perfectly adequate. The prices are not, however.
At the moment we could make only one conclusion: AI already disruptive technology and it's using already good enough for wide adoption of already existing models; from other side, it is not universal tech, and nobody knows when it become universal, and in current staTE it is impossible to sustain growth to universal.

To be more clear, AI is just semiconductor application, which is now growing faster them Moore law, nothing more.

And it is possible to change state to highly regulated, so AI will be monopolized and limited to academy environment and to big corporations (which could pass regulations), and this could make it profitable, at cost of growth slowing.

But tough regulations are against market competition, this will not be done, I believe.
I don’t disagree, but it’s not really about fair: it’s about what the expected standard of living is in NYC. NYC is historically a city of renters and roommates, and that is reflected in the split view between average “asking” rents ($3500) and actual rents ($~1700)[1].

This isn’t to say the city can’t or shouldn’t be more affordable. But the idea that everybody gets their own 1BR at average US rental prices is not immediately compatible with the city’s housing stock (or troubling trends, like dedensification).

for (int i = 0; buffer[offset+i] != '\n'; i++) {

This would only process the current line, though. Here, each thread processes ~split_size bytes (multiple lines).

Even if were to read multiple lines, how would a thread know when to stop? (at which offset?)

And when it does, it should communicate where it stopped with the other threads to prevent re-reading the buffer. My brain's hurting now.
Given climate change's existential consequences, the price seems like a steal. Compare it to 2023 DoD budget of $773 billion [1] and the _net_ interest the feds paid on national debt in 2023 of $659 billion [2].

Certainly, we should implement numerous intervention strategies to combat climate change. Government spending seems largely unaccountable to citizens outside of the lobbyist elite. Why not, at least, spend some Monopoly money on something that might actually work?

There is plenty of affordable housing in the DC metro area. A quick search online finds numerous homes and condos available for under $200k, which is well within the budget of an FBI employee. This is the kind of diverse high density housing that is so popular here, so where's the problem?
I appreciate that you had an idea and put in the time and effort to make something of it, and then shared it.

To what degree do you find that books of a similar topic have a traceable lineage? Like You Are Not So Smart, and then The Power of Habit, and more recently Goodbye, Things (also traces back to The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up), in which the author actually and thankfully cites previous works that were meaningful to him.
Would it fit your website to show a web of books and how they interrelate?

My team has been using Pganalyze (which has its own index advisor), and honestly, it's one of my favorite technical tools ever. I don't know how you could run a large-scale postgres setup without it. In addition to index advice, it also shows top queries, vacuums, etc, and monitors for a whole host of other issues out of the box.

They also have a ton of great content on their blog (5mins of postgres) where the founder will find blog posts by different authors/companies and analyze them in depth.
Penalizing landlords would lead to greater shortages and mass homelessness of would be renters. The houses simply would not be built.

You can't have a right to housing without taking away the right to property.

Renters are a Group that are already unprofitable to lend to, so banks would reject most and hike rates higher for the rest.

Your proposal only makes sense if landlords provide no service, but this isnt true. Just like how a bank makes a % interest for taking risk and providing capital that owners wont, landlords do the same thing. Landlords get paid a profit to take on risk and long term liability (to the bank), and again provide capital.

In short, banks loan cash to landlords because they are more credit worthy and take on liability. They in tern loan a home to renters, who have worse credit and much less liability.

It is all about paying a premium for others to take financial risk.
From what I've seen, this dichotomy is not too dissimilar from how private corporations will skimp on employee pay (SG&A/OpEx) while firing the money gun at consulting/contracting companies (CapEx) or doling out impressive offers for new hires on strategic projects. Different buckets of (tax-payer) money.
Fair. The problem is that neither design nor development will size the request until product gives them a priority but product cannot prioritize till they get a size. And the going around circle continues.

Same way Google has turned the other way when it comes to fraudulent ads on YouTube.

It's obvious that Elon Musk doesn't want to sell me crypto, how an automated system made by one of the largest technology companies in the world hasn't detected its fraud is alarming, and Google has the resources to also pay for manual review.

They just don't care that their system is being used to ruin people's lives

I saw an ad on YouTube once selling washing up tablets to kids to.... eat.
I don't think that's entirely true. 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions (https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10... ); I don't have the statistics—I seem to remember reading something on this recently, but I can't find it—but I think that it's not unreasonable to believe that a few billionaires, and now trillionaires, might have a similarly disproportionate impact on emissions.
You got lucky. We had about 1000 of them as a sample size.

Also yours are much older models. It's the new ones.
