One example is to cause a fairly predictable delay in embedded microcontrollers for bit-banging[1] digital signals. If we know the clock frequency and the cycle cost of a certain instruction (say, add or nop), we can specify how many times to execute the instruction to get the desired delay time. Very inefficient, but very low level processors like PICs have limited capabilities for interrupt based timing, and their low-power requirements make it viable to waste cycles.

inline void delay (int desired_delay) {
int i = 0;
while (i < desired_delay)
i++;
}

While "delay" is obviously an effect, it's not an effect in the PLT meaning of the word, since it causes no state changes to the program, and effect systems don't concern themselves with compute cost. The signal emission happens outside of the delay loop - usually inside some enclosing loop which obviously does have side-effects.

When I was in graduate school in the late 90s I took a flight home for the summer break. I was reading a math research paper during the flight. An elderly lady that sat next to me and asked if was reading a mathematics paper. I said yes. She said that she wanted to study math in college but in those days she wasn’t allowed to. She ended up in accounting. She was still upset over that injustice.

That men can’t handle the present circumstance is pathetic. That white men in particular have a hard time dealing with a more level playing field is pathetic. Stop playing the victim. Stop being a snowflake. Stop being pathetic.
I wonder how much effective entropy randomart really has. More specifically, I wonder how hard it would be to model “looks the same” and brute force a “collision” that most people would recognize as the same ascii image.
If you're into hardware, Analog Digital has Analog Dialogue which is pretty fun and somewhat like a blog in some ways. It goes way back to the 60s if you like blasts from the past.

It's also fun how one word lost the "-ue" and the other didn't, but they both come the same Greek -logos.

Black screen detection and audio cues are often used to detect commercials. With sports it should be even easier, since ads don't look like the field or court the athletes play on.

Personally I think it might also be easier to convert the audio to your own close captions in more real time and higher quality ( and better than what the broadcast typically gives you) and leave the sound on low. I like the crowd noise and the announcers, but I also like my sanity more.

And they'll even use RF locating techniques to draw an arrow on the screen that points at the AirTag (so that it can be found and destroyed).

Taking the speakers out of AirTags doesn't really improve the situation much; at best, it seems kind of naive.

I mean, the Chronicle of Higher Education put out an explainer a year or two titled "The Male Enrollment Crisis." Not "Is there a male enrollment crisis?" because this is a fact that is not in dispute. Males are walking away from college in droves, they are 40% of new enrollments and dropping.

https://connect.chronicle.com/rs/931-EKA-218/images/MaleEnro...

In case your main way of assessing information is its tribal affiliation (it shouldn't be for gods sake): this publication was written by a woman, it devotes substantial time to black male enrollment where the problem is extra bad, and the CHE leans center-left according to Media Bias/Fact Check.

But hey if you weren't at Normandy you don't have problems right? Good lord, what a non sequitur
Well, I admire your optimism. Here's a short story about Datadog:

Datadog sold what startups wanted. You want an observability platform, they would sell it to you piece-by-piece. This was great to the higher-ups; in an era when data science and dashboards were all the craze, every startup you went to had a monthly Datadog bill in the thousands. They were hooked.

Then the economy went to shit, and you know what everyone realized? Datadog was useless. They were taking our money hand-over-fist to give us features that didn't matter and detracted from developer funding. When the higher-ups decided to stop trend-chasing, they made the call to drop Datadog and usually replace it with something else (some lumbering Prometheus stack).

The moral of the story isn't that you can see a need and fill a need; the moral is that people will abandon half-measure solutions. OpenAI isn't filling a need, they aren't directly addressing a problem people have been demanding a solution for. They're selling a trend that you can join-in on for a per-call fee from their API. Much like Datadog, one day startups will start removing ChatGPT to replace it with local LLMs, and then probably remove LLMs altogether later down the line. Mark my words, the most successful businesses that come out of the next 10 years will barely even mention AI as a footnote in their product description.

Look its not to say that the ML/AI tools aren't powerful or useful... but bigger doesn't seem to be going very far, and there aren't a lot of people working on shrinking them or targeting them yet. There's a ton they can do to "power up" existing workers, but you're gonna need the human in the loop.

> That’ll finally lead the fed to lower interest rates,

Interest rates are low. Having them lower is DUMB and we saw what happened. The fed likely wants things to stay put incase inflation creeps back and then crank them up again... Not going to happen till well after we see a new president and maybe not even after that.

We dont need the rates to change to see the market move with VC money. Look at what they were in 1999 compared to now. The money was flowing then, it will flow again regardless of rates. VC's are just going to have to make some better bets.
Fair. People sure can act in that sort of way, for all sorts of reasons. We do what we can to navigate the social world we're part of, and if that means lying about having understood a word of Ulysses, then that's what we'll do!

This comment is absolutely dripping with bigotry and absolutely not reflective of the attitude that exists in the higher education industry itself, where many people are highly concerned that male enrollment has plummeted. If you want to be a bigot, be it somewhere else please.

The vast majority of Americans want _everyone_ to be represented in higher education, we don't need to split people up by identity and then tell them to take turns.
Yeah no. I thought I'd hire a CPA one year to see what 'breaks' they might offer.

All they did was fill out Turbotax for me, and charge me an extra 150 for that.

Could we have something like an AM broadcast, but then the receiver “upsampling” the data? Maybe using some ML?

For example, if you have an AM channel that always transmits some song from a list, then you might not even need to receive the whole song. Or maybe you can have a model that’s good at upsampling those types of songs/data?

Your right about local, but I think your gonna have some LLM around for a long time to come.

I'd rather have the service launch now for 95% of people and have coverage improve over the years, than have it launch in several years (or possibly never) for 100% of people. Besides, if you're in the top 5% of income, you can afford a CPA.

If this is s big deal perhaps you should be choosing a different language :)

Also BTW the nested `errors.Is` bench is wrong. Each function is wrapping the errors instead of constructing them preemptively and this is benching the time to create nested errors. Don't do this, in the test or real code. It makes it tough to read as a client.

This captures exactly the split I've seen at my office. If you have a social life outside of work you are probably strongly WFH because why would you spend your social energy with coworkers when you have friends you like and chose.

But for people for whom work is life and what little social interaction they get is at work you're strongly RTO because that's your lifeline.

And our current CEO moved states for this job and he's lonely as fuck so our office went RTO.

> Despite the seemingly obvious benefits of having a "good" corp eng blog, most corp eng blogs are full of stuff engineers don't want to read. Vague, high-level fluff about how amazing everything is, content marketing, handwave-y posts about the new hotness (today, that might be using deep learning for inappropriate applications; ten years ago, that might have been using "big data" for inappropriate applications), etc.

It's sad how the majority of corporate software blogs do seem like they're written (1) so Marketing can justify their existence or (2) to cast an SEO line in the hopes of reeling in some C-level who's ready to whip out the corporate credit card on a new tool. The latter is a pretty valid use of resources if it brings in revenue, but it's still a bummer how many blog posts seem like they're going through the motions... speaking as someone who once got conscripted to write a bunch of half-baked "thought leadership" blog posts in an industry I barely understood.

How to Distribute Postgres Geographically
I wouldn't get too ahead of yourself since this looks like C++ but won't work unless you make a special array class that returns pointers to the start of lines from the operator[] function. Even then you would need to switch the x and the y so that the y comes first.

You might say it's pseudo code but one of the original comments was talking about the low numbers of people who could actually get something to compile and solve a problem.
I really don't want to be that guy, but I think the author meant to say '96.77%' instead of '3000%', or '96.66%' instead of '30x'.

> That white men in particular have a hard time dealing with a more level playing field is pathetic.

All men want is a level playing field. Colleges have been discriminating against white and Asian men for decades. SCOTUS finally slapped them down, and colleges immediately started scheming to find ways to be covertly racist through proxies for race. Many colleges stopped using SAT scores, making admissions more subjective, and easier to influence with racial bias. Workplaces are doing the same thing, with DEI hiring goals that in effect mean "no white or Asian men".

We'll see. I'm not quite so optimistic; when you pitch these ideas individually, AI storytelling, AI email generation, AI-generated documentation, they sound scary. I like human storytelling, I like human prose, I like reading carefully-designed documentation. I don't think AI will be generating exemplary content for a while, and given the pace of things I see no reason for that to change; it's just too unpredictable to rely on.

I think LLMs will be the robocalling of the 2020s. You'll stand in the self-checkout at the pharmacy, waiting 5 seconds for an LLM to generate a unique, awkwardly-worded way of asking you to clear the bagging area. This is what we're damned to, not necessarily because AI is bad but because executives don't know what to use it for.

AM broadcast uses a "band" around the carrier. Whatever tricks you use Shannon's law is going to determine the upper limit of how much data you can carry which depends on the bandwidth and the signal to noise ratio. ML makes no difference from a theoretical perspective. Compression just reduces the bandwidth you'll need assuming your data compresses (with whatever method you choose, ML can be part of that)...
There was always enforcement of the law. Banditry, murder, etc., had to be dealt with. And sheriffs predated this:
