Would it be fair to say you’ve never been a CEO of 20+ person organization and don’t have much of an idea of what that job entails, as a “craft” in its own right?

You’re talking about someone who led an organization from 0 to tens of billions in valuation, billions in revenue, recruited many unknown but now famous talent as well as famous talent which almost all mutinied when the board fired him, and bet on a technology that many people considered ridiculous. And your complaints are what? That you think he’s trying to regulatory capture the market? That he’s bad at PR, or managing PR-adjacent crises? That he was ruthless and one-sided in employee and other contracts?

The problem is not in Go's endless verbosity. The problem is the basic concept of ORMs - that the model you need for efficiently rendering data is the same model that you need for efficiently storing data. ORMs map them 1:1 and that's what results in N+1 queries and all the other problems.

Go's endless verbosity and lack of dynamic features is a blessing, not a curse. Because you have to write your own data access layer, you can break this blatantly false assumption that what you need in the UI is the same as what you need in the database.

To break the N+1 problem, you can do funky stuff like pull back sub-components as array fields in the main component, or pull multiple result sets, or concatenate the sub-component data into a single text field, whatever your UI requires. Because you're not forcing the databases query to map 1:1 with whatever structs you've got inside your application, you can get creative with how you structure the database storage, and how you query that storage. You can create funcs in the database that do crazy shit with the data to return exactly what the UI requires in a custom struct. Because it all runs on the database itself it's fast and painless. Because you have to manually map all the structs in your application yourself (thanks Go!) then you are not constrained to mirror the database structure in your code. Your UI code does what it needs, your database does what it needs, and you can map between them however you want.

ActiveRecord is easy to use, and very concise, which is what it optimises for. Go is not optimising for the same thing. The author is trying to recreate ActiveRecord in Go without realising that ActiveRecord is a straightjacket, and obviously struggling. If you free yourself from those constraints, the world becomes a simpler, better, place.

File APIs are always irksome at the edge . Eg when block count and latency are high . Yielding to UI with IO. The easy case is not where most dev time is needed

That's all very generous. Who actually needs greater than 90% of the startups coming out of Silicon Valley and the surrounding areas? Their products just get hyped up and shoved down peoples' throat.

And you're wrong. These people do have cash vaults, but they're other peoples' cash vaults. How else do you think they buy things? And they're living in their multi-million dollar mansions and yachts out of benevolence? Please.

Not really true. You can have separate queries to avoid cartesian explosions. EF Core implements it and its standard practice to use - but not enabled by default, because if you don't order by something unique you'll have a bad time.

I used to think of building something related to let a mic pick up a single person to handle questions from the audience, during presentations. Will save the hassle of passing around mics.

This looks like it could do just that with the headphones feeding directly into the mixer and behaving like a focused mic.
If things are working well, they are automated and I rarely see the real time output.

If I’m looking at real time output, it’s because I’m doing something manually because something isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, and I’m in no mood for anything that doesn’t help me understand and address the issue.

This work is impressive. I love it. For some reason I really like “printer.” I’d be all about it for games or toys. But too many tools for real work try to do cute Unicode things or fancy colors or animations. I don’t need it on anything I will ever have to develop or troubleshoot, personally. After the first lengthy wait for a broken container to come up, I’m well over the colorful attitude.
Even if the copy the header, they can only perform a replay attack, which is an improvement over leaking an API key. Also, you could include a timestamp in the signature to limit the amount of time it could be replayed.

From dealing with our public school, two things are clear:

They do not base changes to the curriculum or teaching methods on evidence. They could roll stuff out at a few schools, measure impact, and only expand the best programs, but instead they make changes based on what is fashionable that year, with predictably bad results.

School funding (at least in California) has been diverted somewhere else. I’m not sure where it goes exactly (education income taxes are supposedly earmarked at the state level, and the education fraction of our local property taxes must be spent outside our district — I’ve seen the district budget, and know how many houses it serves). Anyway, K-12 is embarrassingly underfunded, especially given how rich this state is. As a side effect, there isn’t funding for enrichment programs, and the school mostly just focuses on behavior problems instead of academics. Some of the kids that act out the most are clearly smart and bored.

Ive long held that buddhism and related philosophies are a total cop-out. Instead of dealing realistically with the realities of desire and personhood it seeks a way out. Instead of coming to an understanding that happiness is a state to be pursued it builds this fantasy ideal of "zen".

Happiness is something we should work towards constantly. It makes me happy to go on hikes and see beautiful places it makes me happy to eat good food it makes me happy to spend time with loved ones and it makes me happy to build cool things. I pursue all these things happily, to achieve the state of happiness that they provide for me. You ask what happens if I achieve all these things? Well so far this week ive achieved 3 of 4 of the examples above and I am still happily pursuing doing them again.

Like the FAQ, you correctly anticipated my questions.
This "AI" nonsense seems like a legitimate threat to literacy. Why would young people read a nonfiction book when they can just send questions to a so-called "tech" company that has used the book in training a LLM. These companies, needless intermediaries with zero experise on the subject matter of the book, exist only to collect data and use it for commercial purposes. Unlike the books' authors and publishers they have no responsibility for publishing information that is adequately researched and factually correct.
Codifying presence/absence of authentication at type level (2016)
Arguably the nvidia AI moat is PyTorch and the heavily optimized libraries behind it. The CUDA language and toolchain helped get that effort off the ground, no doubt, but PyTorch is written and optimized for CUDA first. All other backends work best with similar semantics to CUDA and have to match Cuda semantics to keep their users happy.

> Before you throw around accusations of incompetence, you should probably have some shred of evidence.

The evidence is in this interview. It sounded like the board basically let Altman walk all over them until they suddenly decided that they wanted to fire him, but by then it was too late. For example, if they had a thorough paper trail documenting all of his lies, they could threaten a lawsuit pressuring him to resign. If YC fired him, they likely would have used a similar strategy to pressure him to step down without any blowback.

Didn't see it in the context of EVs and ICEs but it makes sense and then their idea would cover PHEVs as well.

What I don't understand is how would they find out how many miles have been driven.
>Totally agree. The initial press release made it sound like Altman was guilty of borderline illegal malfeasance, which wasn't true.

This sounds bad enough to my layperson ears:

"Sam didn't inform the board that he owned the OpenAI startup fund, even though he constantly was claiming to be an independent board member with no financial interest in the company," she said.

I'm not a lawyer. Anyone with expertise care to clarify?

> how is GMO different from normal breeding where we hane no clue what mutations happen

The answer is in your question. We have no clue.

What we do not know about how living organisms recreate themselves is much more, and more important (IMO) than what we do know.

We know that DNA plays an important role. We also know that DNA is not the whole story.

We know very little about how DNA plays it role. We terribly confused with analogies to coding systems we know about, but it is clearly much more than a code.

The part of reproduction that does not involve DNA is almost a complete mystery.

In normal breeding we do not have to be concerned about what we do not know, when we start changing DNA it becomes very important

We are creating novel self replicating organisms, there is a lot that might go wrong. A very small chance of complete catastrophic results

I take issue with this: "I don't know about you, but my subjective experience is that there is exactly one of me at all times. I consider this aspect of my subjective experience to be an essential component of what it means to be me. " People that meditate do not find this unitary illusion to be fundamental, but find that what seems at first to be a singular entity is in fact an entity consistenting of multiple parts, different neural systems or whatever, whose interactions together make up a sort of fictionalized self, which is really the victors story of what happened, not a persistent entity.

But my question was more basic, do you think that the mathematical formalism you are endowing with "truth" can even express something like "conscious beings exist" or "a cat is under the table"? It can express things at the level of particles and bosons and so on, and plausibly something like "the average kinetic energy in this room is such and such" but unlike building up math from set theory or category theory, there's no clear formalism for "person" or "mind" in the mathematics of QFT. Maybe it can be, maybe it can't, we don't know. It's a very strong assumption to say it can be absent proof of that.

It's academic research -- very much not productized yet.
> P eople are attacking the CSIRO, Australia's public science body, over their recent report stating nuclear power in Australia made no economic or evironmental sense .. nothing could come online prior to 2040 and in the meantime there were better things to do with that money in the near term to mitigate costs of energy and climate effects, etc.

People are challenging the CSIRO report. Like it or not, politics infects every aspect of vaccines, climate, energy etc. Science and scientists are both players and pawns in such endeavours. As much as we want and need, unbiased, reliable information when making policy decisions, that’s just not how humans work. To quote Sneakers “Everything in this world, including money, operates not on reality but the perception of reality”. Unfortunately, the modern world is all about controlling that perception, and science is often just a tool in that game.

Twitter's valuation has dropped to like 25% of what it was less than two years ago, and its use has dropped by around a quarter in that same timeframe instead of growing. It's impossible to draw a direct cause, but Twitter is definitely doing worse than it was before the layoffs.

Not unpopular at all. Vendoring is a fantastic idea. Most bigcos mandate it for anything running in production. Helps keep your supply chain tight and removes the fun surprise of production blowing up because of a backwards incompatible change in a downstream library.

This type of delusional thinking can be used to justify anything.
Tinygrad targets consumer hardware (to be precise, only Radeon 7900XTX and nothing else[1]), while ROCm does not actually provide good support for such hardware. For example, last release of hipBLASLt-6.1.1 library has deep integration with PyTorch[1], while working only on AMD Instinct hardware. And even for the professional hardware out there, the support period is ridiculous: AMD Instinct MI100 (2020) is not supported. Only 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars worth of hardware is going to the trash, yay!

And to be more precise, they still use some core libraries from ROCm stack[3], they just don't use all these fancy multi-gigabyte[4] hardware-limited rocBLAS/hipBLASlt/rocWMMA/rocRAND/etc. libraries.

It shouldn't matter, should it? Mosh keeps the state and only sends the differences. You would miss most of the animations, and there would be the overhead of sending the colouring escape codes (a few percent extra), but other than that, it wouldn't be any slower than an unanimated version that I can see.
It's an annotation processor. They generally require annotations in your own source code to kick in.

As a security risk this is pretty minor. About on the same level as any software project with any dependencies risking running arbitrary code unless you audit those dependencies. This is of course a very real risk and it has affected a bunch of projects. But it's not really stopping people from using things like cargo, npm, etc.

Overall, it makes sense to make the use of annotation processors a bit more explicit. With Kotlin this is kind of how it works as well. You have things like ksp that you have to configure explicitly if you want to use them. Additionally there are compiler plugins that you can configure if you need them. It's not a big deal to configure this explicitly. I actually prefer it over magic discovery mechanisms that are hard to debug when they don't work.

So, good change that probably simplifies the build process a little.
R is a great language for statistical analysis. The basics are in there and it has a rich library ecosystem for more unusual things, like extreme value analysis, survival analysis, etc.

What about this then? When the request is made over insecure HTTP, revoke the API key used, but then send the usual redirect response for HSTS. Then, when/if the request gets repeated over HTTPS, notice the key is revoked and so respond to that one with 403.
The article talks about scientists involved in COVID-19 policy specifically, so it's very hard to imagine how you can say "the[y] are rarely if ever acting in bad faith."

Can you explain for us a set of circumstances that would justify, in good faith, writing EcoHealth as "Ec~Health" and specifically taking steps to avoid FOIA?

Can you explain for us a set of circumstances that would justify, in good faith, recruiting other scientists to lie to the American people and the world about the possibility of a leak from WIV, and then rewarding those scientists with grant money, as in the case of "Anders$n"?

Can you explain for us a set of circumstances that would justify, in good faith, doing the above with the explicit goal of giving aid and comfort to a nation who is not only an opposing belligerent in an ongoing frozen war but is actively engaged in espionage, cyberattacks, and low grade kinetic armed conflict against the United States?

This is the sort of iterative process other interpreters have gone through as well, the balance between startup speed and memory usage leads to byte code, the stack based interpreter is replaced by a register based one. Later but not yet in this project, the byte code is replaced with a list of addresses, and then these are converted to machine code and inlined, in the simplest possible form of compilation, next code is generated for branches to make loops and flow control fast and we eventually get back to a jit. This gets saved to a binary image and we have a compiler.

Again, the number of network calls will scale with the total data payload of the overall request, but the requested total data payload should never be large. It's effectively capped. Therefore, the number of network calls is effectively capped. The N+1 SQL call multiplying factor may be 2, or 10, but it shouldn't be 100 or 1000. That's what I mean when I say I think the problem is overblown. It's not that it isn't a problem--for some people--but that it's not a problem that can grow without bounds.

Put another way, while the N+1 problem scales the number of SQL calls exponentially, it also scales the data payload the same way. Large payloads shouldn't occur and won't occur if we take steps to ensure that they don't. If we do, then we're also pretty much guaranteeing large batches of SQL statements will likewise be limited.
