It's more like a kid who is really proud that the current champion at their sport was an alumni of the same school. It's inspiring without doing any harm.

Perhaps you're being too bitter about life if you think that the only things people are allowed to feel a connection to are the things they've personally played a role in.

In this specific example, considering that most of us are under 50 and thus weren't even alive to be able to participate, and thus can only see it as part of our collective history as a species.

Ah, good catch, yes.
So, having Netflix in the car requires extra engineering, so that makes it "bad"? Not sure I'm buying this logic.

Your examples however are PEBCAK. Taking them one by one:

1) Kids are noisy. Full stop. Deal. And the odd point about features (windshield wipers? remote dashcam viewing from the app while parked? wheels?) requiring engineering is quirky and bizarro.

2) Common misconception. Adjust the AC. The AC in a Tesla is from God himself (and I don't mean Elon, I mean God himself). But while the glory goes to God, the credit goes to the massive battery. There are simply no constraints on how much cooling can be done. Elon understands this, and he invited God to design the system and God really came through. And the delta in energy use is minuscule versus the AC energy you would expend with a metal roof. And the thin roof is giving you more headroom and storage room. White interior? Never! Besides if you're worried you can pre-cool the car remotely from the app over the internet, or even schedule it.

3) I suppose you did not try stepping on the brake and putting the car in gear. It will engage immediately.

Also, curious, is it:

(EV6 (ventilated seats!) and the Leaf) (but the battery/charging situation is disqualifying)

or:

EV6 (ventilated seats!) and (the Leaf (but the battery/charging situation is disqualifying))

? If the latter, do tell.

If ventilated seats are your thing, the Model Y should have them in some unknown number of months when they put out the redesign. Ventilated seats were added for the redesign of the Model 3.

It's possible the current short promotional 0.99% financing for Model Y is designed to clear out inventory to make room for the updated Model Y with ventilated seats... who knows.

Curious to hear your other PEBCAK examples.
Shame it is running ms sql. anything Postgress, oracle or db2 and it might have been a candidate for running on a IBM Linuxone might even be a valid contender for the cost it is currently running at.
As the sibling comment says, you're not supposed to be doing pull-ups. It's more like climbing a ladder. You use your legs for lifting. Your arms are mainly for keeping yourself from falling away.

It still develops strength in the arms and shoulders. But hard problems are more about balance than strength, figuring out how to use limited friction at very specific angles so that you can complete a move.

That said... watch speed-climbing some time. It's a very full body activity, literally leaping from hold to hold. It looks like magic.

> That might work for small businesses, but no real mid-sized or bigger company is going to be using Whatsapp or any other consumer messaging service for their critical or non-critical business communications

...and yet WhatsApp Business exists to do exactly that. In developing countries, some businesses use WhatsApp as the only written-communication channel (supplemented via voice calls). For over a billion people, their smartphone is the primary - oftentimes

> There was no "diplomatic crisis" at the time

You ignorance on the matter could be cured by reading about what caused the 2014 Revolution, if you're actually interested in learning instead of throwing insults.

The whole affair was a diplomatic crisis. Ukraine had a EU deal on one side, a Russian deal on the other. The president at the time went with the Russian deal. The population revolted. Another deal was made with the mediation of the EU, so that there would be elections at the end of the year. That made people even more pissed off, there was some violence and finally the elected president was removed.

Russia saw Ukraine tearing up the deal which had the support of the EU as a dangerous provocation. The USA openly supported tearing up the EU-supported deal! It was a mess.

If you don't understand that this is a diplomatic crisis, you really don't have enough knowledge to intelligently discuss anything after that.
It might have uptime requirements that they can't provide on their own.
I want to understand something: the model was trained on mostly a public dataset(?), with hardware from AWS, using well-known algorithms and techniques. How is it different from other models that anyone that has the money can train?

My skeptic/hater(?) mentality, sees this as only a "flex" and an effort to try be seen as relevant. Is there more to this kind of effort that I'm not seeing?
It's true that people often incorrectly dismiss results with sample sizes below 100. But, for rare events, you really do need large samples. Otherwise, you'll only ever be able to confidently identify massive differences.

Art is creativity expressed under a constraint. That constraint can be the medium, the style, or even something as arbitrary as writing a novel without using the letter 'e'.

I've noticed that most of the truly great works of art (in my opinion) have been works produced under unusually restrictive constraints.
We can feel superior to the past, but by the same logic, how will the past judge us? I suppose it depends on what problems we manage to solve in the future; i.e. the future will have a lot of the same problems we have today, but which ones?

> For example, a single share that trades at 50% less than the last price instantly brings market cap down by 50%.

It's not a single share trading low that brings the price down, it's the entire buy order book above that price being emptied out.

Which, in effective markets, should happen reasonably quickly when a stock is overpriced, after the market has time to react to a pack of retail apes maxing out their credit cards to buy it at 'any price'.

NNs for example are (mostly) a sequence of matrix multiplication operations, and GPUs are very good at those. Much better than CPUs. AI is hot at the moment, and Nvidia is producing the kind of hardware that can run large models efficiently which is why it's a 2 trillion-dollar company right now.

However, in the Spiral series, I aim to go beyond just making an ML library for running NN models and break new ground.

Newer GPUs actually support dynamic memory allocation, recursion, and the GPU threads have their own stacks, so you could in fact treat them as sequential devices and write games and simulators directly on them. I think once I finish the NL Holdem game, I'll be able to get over 100x fold improvements by running the whole program on the GPU versus the old approach of writing the sequential part on a CPU and only using the GPU to accelerate a NN model powering the computer agents.

I am not sure if this is a good answer, but this is how GPU programming would be helpful to me. It all comes down to performance.

The problem with programming them is that the program you are trying to speed up needs to be specially structured, so it utilizes the full capacity of the device.

For a cost, of course. But as the article points out, microplastics are also a cost.
i'll read those in a bit, but my theory was:

IF it rains a lot somewhere like a desert, the ground will absorb a lot of water, filling voids, washing areas out, including underground. If it then gets really hot and dry (you know, like a desert), suddenly that mud shrinks, the voids become larger, there's less friction. For sure, an earthquake didn't happen every time (or really any time in my memory) there was "earthquake" weather, but i'm guessing prior to the mid 80s it happened a few times and that's where the term started being spread.

What i don't like is instant ridicule for wondering if there might be something to it. It's not like the phrase "the devil beating his wife with a frying pan" as a synonym for a specific type of weather, even!
And if you don't reject the null hypothesis in the vast majority of experiments, then a large portion of those where you do were probably also just a statistical anomaly.
It's odd to call RPM the "Fedora" format. It literally means Red Hat Package Manager [0]. Well, at least it used to, according to Wikipedia. :D

All those ideas btw are not small products. Indeed is a billion dollar company and is a job board (yes I know some niche job boards are small but maybe they’re planning to start small then broaden out). A link in bio tool was valued at $1 billion last I checked. And voice notes is something that has a large addressable market too. None of them are what I’d consider small ideas.

Small products would be something like:

1) a directory for AI image generation tools

2) a newsletter and forum for procurement professionals

3) a tool that grades your resume
The Delorean looks very clearly 80s though. Low-slung, boxy design, fastback, quad, square headlights... It would not fit in with a modern car lineup, so I'm gonna say it is dated looking.

Not that is is bad looking. I love how they look... but definitely not a modern look... Though it's all an opinion I suppose.
You're wanting to take the drives out of a machine that lost power and import the pool somewhere else right? I've not done this, but the man page[1] for zpool-import shows -f and -F which would seem to address this use:

> -f Forces import, even if the pool appears to be potentially active.

> -F Recovery mode for a non-importable pool. Attempt to return the pool to an importable state by discarding the last few transactions. Not all damaged pools can be recovered by using this option. If successful, the data from the discarded transactions is irretrievably lost. This option is ignored if the pool is importable or already imported.

Do those not actually work? There's also zdb(8) if you want to debug a pool, which maybe is useful for recovery, but probably takes a lot of learning to actually be useful. I have about one unclean shutdown per zfs host every 3 years, when its ups battery has worn out and there's a utility power failure, and it's always come back up without intervention, but my write rate is very low.

It's been in the manpage since forever, this one dated 2006 also has -f (but not -F) [2]

This is an odd telling of history because the term climate change was also pushed by the scientific community as a more precise alternative because people didn't grasp how global warming could make some places colder with larger temperature swings in both directions.

It's conflating two things, Luntz and Republicans at the time did want to push a narrative of uncertainty surrounding greenhouse gas emissions and they wanted to switch terminology in a pro-environmental move because of the existing connotations surrounding global warming and "environmentalists" made it hard to get any Republican support.
I think the intern analogy is right.

The problem is that there’s always a communication cost to outsourcing something. And you can’t outsource a whole project to an LLM, like a human intern. You’re just outsourcing one micro-, sub-task after another. To use the human analogy, it’s more like you’re standing over their shoulder and telling them what function to write, one after the other. And they’re SUPER fast with small, pure functions, but they get confused with anything else.

Is that a faster way to program?

Maybe? If you can fluidly decompose things into small functions in your head and the problem can be solved that way?

There are fashions which are current and involve a measure of adjustability. It isn't necessary to wear only robes and wrapped cloth to achieve this although I understand the occasional desire to throw in (on?) the towel and give up fitted primarily western style clothing altogether. However the idea that clothing today is "just" a fixed size is merely one way of looking at it which you can choose to do or not.

Formal/business attire: tailoring is nice but a military tuck lets a dress shirt conform to the belly you have, not the one (or several) it was patterned on.

Casual, work and streetwear: additional snaps, buttons, and ties are often used to allow the wearer to fit to their body and desired motion. Some brands have a show clear intention, such as having a small pleat or even slit in the pant waist with elastic so that it can be worn high or low at a range of sizes. More commonly, elastic pulls on jackets or athletic pants. Others have give less direction but more options by leaving button holes or grommets so the wearer can create their own shape and hold it.

On the consumer end it is difficult to tell when a garment is designed with any of this in mind or if it's just mindless copying or following trends. Having some minuscule knowledge into the design side I can say that it's a mix of both. Brands which care about it have designers who care and try to research these things to use them strategically; they tend to signal the versatility by readily showing models wearing them in different, sometimes unintended ways. Streetwear is ripe with this because brands often produce less meaning less sizes available and they (and their customers) value the suggested creativity. If you can only make S, M, L or M, L, XL but want 5ft women and 6.5ft men to enjoy them that is a challenge which some designers live for.

So how does this work? Law enforcement asks signal if they have an account for a phone number, signal saying "yes, here's when they created it".

Then what?
The modern trend for everything to be "fitted" for the most part didn't exist a few decades ago - look at older photos of people wearing suits in the street, they generally were a bit baggier especially trousers.

In addition, people spent a lot more on clothing than they do now as a percentage of income.

There are also still now plenty of cultures in which clothing isn't intended to hug the body.

I think that the author is basically just finding out that tailoring is for the wealthy unless you learn to do it yourself.

Another guess is that these clothes were designed with gender in mind, e.g. a suit is made to accentuate masculine features. It doesn't sound as if the author is wearing clothing designed for the female silhouette. Nothing wrong with that, but it's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. No amount of tailoring is going to make a dress look good on my broad shoulders.

If you have a good track record of execution and have enough experience in your domain, you should be able to raise money (it's a slog but it is doable).

As such, we need to convince promising founders to come to us, convince prospects to become LPs in our funds, and convince other VCs to buy into our investment thesis (and thus build the pipeline to fund additional rounds)

It's not about the actors. Movies are just expensive to make. The actors get so much money, because they solve a major problem. It essentially hedges this massive bet, by making a certain amount of attention a sure thing.

They have a way of just getting people to show up. I think there's a bit of a feedback loop here, but the industry has just recognized the value of certain key players. A list celebs will get a bare minimum views (mitigate the worst) as well as have a ton of potential to get wide audience (lots of potential in the investment).

It's a competitive industry, and while that doesn't eliminate the possibility of overpayed "glamour jobs", they would have gotten rid of them if possible.

Robinhood deactivated the BUY button because it didn't have enough liquidity to execute the trades. The apes blew through all of its pool of liquid money in a day.

You get what you pay for with a discount brokerage that you can load through a friggin' credit card. One thing that you don't pay for is 100% uptime for being able to do any trade you want, at any time you want.

Contrary to what you see on your bank's/broker's website, it takes actual time for monetary transactions to settle, and the NYSE does not value charge-backable IOUs from retail investors at 1:1. It actually wants real money delivered to them when trading closes. Money that Robinhood did not have on short notice, no matter how many credit cards you maxed out to buy shares on it.
Yes, I literally feel the flushing. And I also hear what you say about becoming aware of subtleness to expand your awareness.

Yes, same experience here. I felt (and still feel) that ActiveRecord is one of if not the best ORMs out there, but it was always a source of debugging and performance optimizations/pain, and the trick was basically taking hand-written SQL and trying to get ActiveRecord to generate that. After briefly moving to node.js full time I actually got very anti-ORM, although query building libraries all sucked too which left me unsure of what the best approach is.

Then I learned Ecto/Phoenix and this is truly the best way. Ecto is so close and translateable to raw SQL that there's little to no friction added by it, but it handles all the stuff you don't want to have to do by hand (like query building, parameterization, etc). Ecto is a real breath of fresh air and I find myself writing quick scripts that hit a database in Elixir just so I can use Ecto! I also love how easy Ecto makes it to model database tables that were originally defined by another language/framework or even by hand. Trying to do that with ActiveRecord or another ORM is usually a recipe for extreme pain, but with Ecto it's so easy.

Like most kids in the 80s I would never “exclude gaming” from my evaluation.

The PC was 15x as expensive as the C128 and still wasn’t any good for gaming. While C128 had the entire C64 games library available!

It also had the CP/M software library and could run productivity software in 80 columns. Yes CP/M software wasn’t as good as DOS software, yes your spreadsheets didn’t calculate as quickly, but for a couple of years the C128 was the best option, until the Amiga came along.

The Amiga was certainly the best option in 1988. Arguably it was the best until about 1995.
