Why pick on C++? This seems wrong, irrelevant, and poorly written - a ignoble trifecta.
Well I work in prop trading and have only ever worked for prop firms- our firm trades it's own capital and distributes it to the owners and us under profit share agreements - so we have no incentive to sell ourselves as any smarter than the reality.

Saying it's all high school math is a bit of a loaded phrase. "High school math" incorporates basically all practical computer science and machine learning and statistics.

If I suspect you could probably build a particle accelerator without using more math than a bit of calculus - that doesn't make it easy or simple to build one.

Very few people I've worked with have ever said they are doing cutting edge math - it's more like scientific research . The space of ideas is huge, and the ways to ruin yourself innumerable. It's more about people who have a scientific mindset who can make progress in a very high noise and adaptive environment.

It's probably more about avoiding blunders than it is having some genius paradigm shifting idea.
That ship has sailed.

I think it's somewhat unfair to ask for real world examples when there really aren't many people writing optimized SVE code right now. Probably because there are hardly any devices with the extension.

I think the transition from AVX2 to AVX512 is comparable in that it provided not only larger vectors, but also a much nicer ISA. There were certainly a few projects that benefited significantly from that move. simdjson is probably the most famous example [0].

Not EXACTLY how it played out.

He was upset the crowd was blocking an intersection. So he ran a red light, driving into the crowd, and then shot a guy who yelled at him for it because the yelling guy was carrying a gun.

The things that really kept me (for the way I think about and write code) in CL (the sbcl variant) over clojure are, in no in no particular order:

- User reader macros are basically gone in clojure

- The JVM is too heavy and too slow to start up for smaller programs

- Tail recursion

- Mutual tail recursion without trampoline

- The JVM makes it impossible to have error restarts which are the coolest

- CL is multiparadigm instead of only functional
Is this more like text-to-semantic layer or does it throw the schema in the prompt and generate SQL with the llm?

> saying the accused was seen to shake the baby on several occasions.

When my son was small, say I don't know, 10 or 11 months, I'd pick him up under his arms, hold him at arm's length, and (gently) shake him while chanting "shake the baby! shake the baby!" and he'd start giggling so uncontrollably he'd be gasping for breath before he stopped. My wife always gave me the stink-eye. I think he still wanted me to do that until he was 3 or 4, he was getting too heavy to be able to do it very well.

Think what would have happened if I'd been dumb enough to do it in public.
Mmm, even early versions ended up being more the "anti-multics" than actually simplified-from, despite the name pun...
No, the context here is interns. If someone came to me and asked for an internship and showed that to me I'd signal that they need to show me something else that is more impressive, or somehow find a way to explain and motivate that code that convinces me that it is a decent solution.

I'm not sure how you're discerning "style" from "wrong". Would using some esolang be a matter of "style" as long as the asserts on the output pass?
In my case, the "production" does not really become visible to users right away. Perhaps, I should have called it "pre-production".

You might find OpenCore Legacy Patcher[1] worth a look. In many cases, it allows later-that-supported Mac OS versions to be installed on older Macs.

As a data point, I still use a 2013 Mac Pro as my primary desktop, and I've been using Sonoma on it for several months, have been able to install all Sonoma patches over-the-air on release without incident, and have only experienced a single, trivial problem: the right side of the menu bar occasionally appears shaded red, in a way that doesn't affect usability; switching applications immediately resolves the problem (the problem appears to be correlated with video playback).

That's all fair, but I dispute a bit here:

- Mutual tail recursion can be achieved with the trampoline function, which comes standard in Clojure.

- It's not too hard to do OOP-like in Clojure, and there's even clever macro stuff to get logic programming and the like. I'll agree it's very much a functional-first language though.

- While there's no explicit tail recursion, the Clojure loops are basically just tail recursive. You have to be a lot more explicit about it, and I will acknowledge that's not as pretty.

The JVM startup time is a real issue, but GraalVM really does help with that; I got around 3ms of startup time last time I tried it.

I might need to play with SCBL variant still. CLOS really fascinates me.
SQL is really close to a natural language that's unambiguous, there's a few rough edges but it's not bad. Anything more natural requires a lot of context and needs to solve ambiguity.
... Learned of this via "Electrochemistry Might Help Solve Cement’s Carbon Problem" which describes Portland cement production methods in general and also Sublime Systems' electrochemical synthesis efficiency and sustainability advantages:

> In fact, all of the heat can be electrified too, and has been both historically and in demonstration units today. Electric heat for the limestone kiln is a relatively trivial thing to build into new kilns, although more challenging to retrofit to existing ones.

And from the paper,

"Toward electrochemical synthesis of cement—An electrolyzer-based process for decarbonating CaCO3 while producing useful gas streams" (2019)
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1821673116 :

> Electrochemical calcination produces concentrated gas streams from which CO2 may be readily separated and sequestered, H2 and/or O2 may be used to generate electric power via fuel cells or combustors, O2 may be used as a component of oxyfuel in the cement kiln to improve efficiency and lower CO2 emissions, or the output gases may be used for other value-added processes such as liquid fuel production. Analysis shows that if the hydrogen produced by the reactor were combusted to heat the high-temperature kiln, the electrochemical cement process could be powered solely by renewable electricity.

Could probably get it started with sunlight:

... Concrete can be more sustainable and efficient. Concrete may or may not be a better thermal battery than gravel.

Other things concrete fwiw:

- Roman Concrete was made with volcanic ash

- Uncoated steel rebar rusts in less than 100 years FWIU?

- Concrete block is easier to repair than large, interlocking slabs

- Plant-based blocks can be cut with a handsaw

- (Catalan) brick vault roofs do not require forms or support; and round structures handle wind and storms best

- Hempcrete is made with Lime, too

- Sugarcrete is made with Sugarcane and sand

- Bio-based block breathes with relative humidity

- Higher R-Value, higher strength construction materials reduce HVAC and post-disaster reconstruction costs

- (sinusoidal) wavy walls need only be one brick wide

- Dry stone walls of e.g. Peru, which may be made with geopolymers; have irregularly-shaped blocks, that are locked together, and settle down into V's for earthquake resilience.

- There are new like infinitely repeating tile shapes that may or may not be as easy to form as bricks

This is the type of solution you come up with at massive companies with massive legacy codebases. Most(most) of the problems this resolves don't exist in signal-native frameworks or in React if you're using signal-based reactivity systems like MobX.

It's amazing how hard Dan is trying to sell this as something other than what it is.
Pretty hard aside from the lack of other people saying they've done it. It probably works better for keeping the writing style from deteriorating.

I guess maybe I just won’t get it, it seems like nothing, to me, to wear a mask if requested, so I don’t get the push back. Do you feel like it’s being too submissive or something? I prefer explanations of how you feel and what your internal dialogue is when a mask is mandatory at, say, the grocer. Vaccinations are a decent corollary but those are riskier than an N95 by far, so it’s not perfect. Wearing a mask basically costs nothing, IMO, unless you’re a very specific case where it’s harmful.

I have no opinion on this thread but I find it weird when people dig through others’ comment history and try to use it as an argument.

If you read the rest of that thread GP states that he was thinking of a specific different police brutality case and mistakenly referred to the George Floyd case instead. I also have no idea what he means by black supremacists there but the ridiculous part of your quote was essentially a typo by GP (allegedly anyway).
I would say this is false analogy fallacy.

The BLS is an independent agency. There isn't a single "the federal government" that cares about its image like this. Nor does "the federal government" have a single economic policy. It has, like, two or three of them and some (fiscal vs monetary policy) are directly opposed to each other.

A monthly survey of 60k households is "talking to real people" and it's the only way to get accurate impressions of what's happening to them. If you rely on people bitching then you'll get a negativity bias.

> Every single thing you have said here is wrong or a misunderstanding of what data has actually been gathered and where it comes from.

I understand it fine. You seem to have moved from not realizing I was posting direct survey data, to coping by just claiming the numbers are made up.

Note that if you claim it's made up now, why was it not made up in 2009 or 2020 when it did look bad?
In theory monocultures allow for higher yield per acre, but in practice it’s really hard to keep the soil healthy enough to sustain yields over time without adding (eventually) unsustainable amounts of fertiliser.

Crop rotation and leaving land fallow for a year can get you some extra time, but monoculture farming practices are inherently destructive to the soil, and mitigating the damage done takes a long time.

Also worth noting that a huge amount of destructive monoculture farming has nothing whatsoever to do with food production - it’s for bioethanol and such.

Drew is smart and his timeline is short but I think it’s the wrong way to look at it if you just put him on a pedestal for it. Making a UNIX clone is a typical undergrad project at most universities. Extending that to something that is complete is something that requires perseverance, not special genius.
Faster feedback is the shortcut. And it always works. Faster boot time is lower latency to serve the queue. Faster feedback is stabilising.

This is not a text to semantic layer but it does far more than just inject schema into the prompt:

- the engine keeps an updated catalog of the data (low cardinality columns, their values etc)
- taps into query history and finetunes the model to the schema
- allows uploading context from unstructured sources like docs and data dictionaries
- has an agent which collects all relevant info, generate the SQL, tries to retrieve a few rows to recover from errors and provides an confidence score to the generated SQL

Once again, don't do it.

Only start an agency if years from now you will still personally sweat every small detail, you will still enjoy working 1:1 with clients who won't always get what you're proposing and will annoy you to no end yet you put up with it because you're a professional, you understand the value of your expertise, and you believe in the future success of their business more than they do.

Don't do this unless you're a craftsperson who cares more about the craft than the money. Because if you're really just in it for money, prestige, to boost your ego, or whatever… (a) you will very likely fail, and (b) I will be more than glad to compete with you.
FYI There was a good related article shared here recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40290447

It's irritating that many of the people who resist EV adoption because "it won't work, there's not enough chargers" seem to be more amenable to the idea of hydrogen, despite all the extra infrastructure/energy needed for production, cooling and transport, when electrical infrastructure is already ubiquitous. I don't know if it's that people are more conditioned to the idea of putting liquid in a tank to power a vehicle than plugging it in.

Nothing against hydrogen per se, I'm sure it'll have its uses, but electricity has a much shorter lead time to take up the current energy deficit from cutting fossil fuels.

Coal vs. nuclear is the other major head-scratcher, but I guess that's down to the green movement's own lack of awareness of the severity of global warming back when they were campaigning against nuclear.
