Agree. Another thing I notice in this thread is that the implied context is a professional environment where you are expected to showcase your expertise to other teammates, colleagues, etc. As if solitary people, masters of their craft, could not exist in isolation.

That's fair. I can see how an ebike might encourage people to ride them more compared to owning a regular bike and never using it!
While they could be valid Korean syllables, they don't sound like Korean names, either. The only words containing "gyang" or "nyam" I can think of are slangs or onomatopoeia, and I don't think I've seen "shom" or "pwa" in the wild.
Neat! Loved the bit of background story he told too.

I used to have an MPC X. Wonderful machine. Will buy one again in the future :)
"The only way it would have "benefited" would be that the web would only be developed by lisp programmers."

Considering the state of the web I do not think this is making the argument you intend.
The problem isn’t always whether an “expert” can, it’s whether they want to.

I’ve worked with plenty of experts who are also impatient, short and condescending with anyone who doesn’t grasp things straight away. That doesn’t mean they’re an imitator, it just means they’re an arsehole.

People aren’t binary. An expert isn’t automatically a good teacher. And, in fact, some imitators are actually better teachers. It’s almost as if teaching and “doing” are different skills ;)
> Is there ever a good reason to enable it?

Yes. It's a rare system that it shouldn't be enabled.

RAM is a precious resource. It's highly likely programs will allocate RAM that won't be used for days at a time. For example, if you are using docker once the containers are started the management daemon does nothing. If you have ssh enabled only for maintenance it unlikely to be used for days if not weeks on end. If your system starts gettys they are unlikely to be used, ever. The bulk of the init system probably isn't used once the system is started.

All those things belong in swap. The RAM they occupied can be used as disk cache. Extra disk cache will speed up things you are doing now. Notice this means most of the posts here are wrong - just having swap actually gives you a speed boost.

One argument here is that disabling swap provides you an early warning system you need more RAM. That's true, but there is a saner option. Swap is only a problem if the memory stored there is being used frequently. How do you monitor that? You look at reads from swap. If the steady state of the system is showing no reads from swap, you aren't using what's there, so it can't possibly have a negative speed impact. But if swap is being used and isn't being read from, it's freed some RAM so it is having a positive speed impact.

One final observation: the metric "swap should be twice the size of RAM" isn't so helpful nowadays. There aren't a lot of programs that sit around doing nothing. Maybe 1GB or so, and it's more or less fixed regardless of what the system is doing. Old systems didn't have 2GB of RAM, so the "twice RAM" rule made sense. But now a laptop might have 16GB. If you are using 32GB of swap and not reading from it would be a very, very unusual setup. If you are reading from that 32GB or swap, you're system is RAM starved and will be dog slow. You need to add RAM until those reads drop to 0.

Because shallow dismissals of wealthy / successful people is all the rage. Surely none of these people can actually have any talent. They're all just lucky or irredeemably evil, right?
I don't think these studies are saying what you think they are. The incentives are clear for a PHEV that you can plug in yourself in your home. its cheaper and not hard to do.

This is a very strong prior, and with a little digging you can find out that these cars are being bought by tax credits, and then used by people who do not have access to chargers. Either because it is a rental or because it is a company car. If it is a company car, the reimbursement process for gas is easier, and why would I go through the hassle if I'm not the one saving money?

The case for PHEVs is very strong, it is a much more economical use of lithium battery capacity, is cheaper to operate, produces less CO2, and can be operated like an ICE vehicle in a pinch.

They strategically dominate EVs. Its absurd to suggest otherwise
I used to be a teaching assistant for CS 61A (intro to programming) at Berkeley teaching from this book with Brian as the instructor.

One of Brian's primary points is the following:

> Scheme ... has a very simple, uniform notation for everything. Other languages have one notation for variable assignment, another notation for conditional execution, two or three more for looping, and yet another for function calls. Courses that teach those languages spend at least half their time just on learning the notation. In my SICP-based course at Berkeley, we spend the first hour on notation and that's all we need; for the rest of the semester we're learning ideas, not syntax.

Bullshit. Again, I was a TA for this course. You do not spend the rest of the semester on ideas, you spend the rest of the semester on the students being very confused.

This "everything looks the same" property of Scheme and of all LISP-like languages is a bug, not a feature. When the semantics is different, humans need the syntax to be different. In contrast, LISP/Scheme make everything look the same. It is quite hard to even tell a noun from a verb. This makes learning it and teaching it hard, not easy.

Brian is selling a fantasy here. If you think Scheme is so great, look at this nightmare of examples showing the various ways to implement the factorial function in Scheme: https://erkin.party/blog/200715/evolution/

All of this "abstractions first, reality second" agenda is just a special case of what I call "The Pathology of the Modern": the pathological worship of the abstract over the concrete. Everything modernism touches turns into shit. I am done with living in modernist shit and I hope you are too.
Seems very self-evident/obvious. In real life, soft, round things make soft, muted sounds. Sharp things make higher pitched, shorter sounds. The sounds of bouba and kiki reflects this.
To put it a little nicer, there's many skills encompassed by the title "hacker". There is no such thing as a universal jack of all trades hacker. Some are better at software, some are more comfortable in hardware. The RF hackers have a whole bundle of sub specialties.

They have, but the different IDEs do not format equivalent and are way too easy to reconfigure to personal preference.

It is an issue for Python, though this specific issue isn't the main issue for Python.

More generally, it's even harder to routinely call programs while connecting them with pipes and ensuring that the programs run in parallel. It's a pain to routinely call other programs and get results Python. It takes many many lines of Python to do tasks that are clearer one-liners in shell... and vice versa.

Python and shell are different; each are good at different things.
Crypto mania really highlighted how gullible the average user is in buying into the hype. Worse yet, people peddling things that are objectively regressive versus existing solutions.
I wanted to leave a comment here to say thank you. Surprisingly, creating charts in JSON format was one of the first ideas that came to mind when I was developing with Flitter, but it seems it already existed.
AMD doesn't have a higher PE ratio. You should use nonGAAP numbers because the GAAP numbers include Xilinx Googwill Amortization which skew the PE.

AMD's PE is ~55. Nvidia's PE is above 70.
At least all the Toyota and Mitsubishi electric prior to 2018 or so. And I did not even look up anything in particular, it's just well known that none of those had any kind of remote upgrade.

I would advise you to do longer pauses when you are on such a long trip (not only me, the road safety specialists too). It's not for the bladder, it's for the fatigue, particularly of the central nervous system.

The risk is not to be killed by a bladder shrapnel, it's to switch off the attention and be crushed by an unnoticed lorry.
How does this relate to imposter syndrome?
I love the UI ! It's clean and beautiful.

What CSS framework did you use ?

I also maintain a database visualization tool (more of a SQL-to-UI tool, actually), where I use tabler.io for styling: https://github.com/lovasoa/SQLpage . If people know other lesser-known tools in this space, I'm interested !
I don't understand why they should use TensorRT. vLLM is much more popular and it was actually written for Nvidia. It also supports AMD hardware, so it's the appropriate tool to compare.
Different states have different deadlines for getting on the ballot. The DNC is already going to have to a pre-convention virtual convention where they legally nominate Biden so he can get on the ballot in Ohio. The physical convention will be for rallying the party behind him. If they were to switch to someone else at the convention, at the very least Ohio would retain Biden on the ballot. Ohio does allow for 'faithless' electors, so Biden winning Ohio while the official nominee won other states might not be the worst thing provided the electors could be trusted to switch their vote to whoever the DNC put up in place of Biden.
I wish “mesh” WiFi was more standardized. I don’t think there’s any good reason that a device like this should require specifically a Starlink mesh mode instead of an industry standard WDS device.
LLMs sure. My question is whether it is the same in practice for LLMs behind said API. I found no official documentation that we will get exactly the same result as far as I can tell.

And no one here touched how high a multiple the cost is, so I assume its pretty high.
There's also this tome, which lists thousands of cognates between latin and Japanese: https://ci.nii.ac.jp/ncid/BA80581101

It's trying to make the claim that these are etymological connections, which is a bit sketchy, but the phonological similarities it has meticulously catalogued are surprisingly convincing!
Absolutely. But we’ve been past the “golden age” of polling using live callers on landlines for more than 20 years now. We now have a reasonable corpus of polling data that we can use to evaluate how good pollsters are at making the corrections (often educated guesses) that they use to adjust their polls.
Someone made a script (for English) based on this concept: https://pcho.net/takeluma/
Rust is safer than Python though, at least until the inevitable Rust rewrite of cpython. A hosted language is going to inherit the safety or lack thereof of the host language, barring a level of rigor (think theorem proving) that so far as I know cpython doesn’t have.
This would be much more convincing by writing out the entire words instead of overlaying a very small sample of the font next to a screenshot of the Quake menu. As it stands it's very hard to draw a conclusion.
Thanks! Like yourselves we saw a clear niche for a ultra-reliable small embedded board suitable for robotics and other space constrained systems. I'd be very happy to send you one of our products to compare, i'll message your team email.

Not when you compare per watt performance.
That’s all fair. Sales people are pretty well known for skeezy tactics, some of the same stuff author was referring to with ‘ads eww’, they have an earned reputation that the nice sales people have to overcome. I guess one upside to this is untrustworthy sales people don't necessarily reflect on the trustworthiness of the business they work for. The only way to really know if you’ll get jacked once locked in is to buy and see what happens, or have a longer term contract.

To your point perhaps, one thing large organizations value above most things is predictable cost. They actually don’t want usage based pricing because it’s unpredictable and could spike, even if the usage based cost is significantly lower on average.

I tried marketing usage based pricing to companies for too long before realizing that it was a disincentive working against me and that price didn’t matter much.
Yeah, this is also a huge concern of mine. There's also nearly no standardization / information as to how to harden just a bit more than is commonly suggested by web devs / bad tutorial sites.
If you have data demonstrating strong EV use of PHEVs (vs defaulting to ICE most of the time), provide it, but it is absurd to propose these suboptimal vehicles will be maximized for low emissions use based on human behavior.

It doesn’t matter how strong the case is for PHEVs if the data doesn’t conclusively demonstrate they’re being used appropriately to minimize emissions. That’s just hope, and hope is not a strategy. Frankly, PHEV tax credits should be something like revenue you have to recognize over time, only provided when proven they’re being used in the manner desired (versus at time of purchase, after which you might not ever even plug the vehicle in).
Changed to that from https://pypi.org/project/numpy/ above. Thanks!
This much more likely to be something that had been in the long term plan for many years.

Amazon is announcing stuff because they are spending 10e of billions and have nothing to show for it, and wont have anything for years. They need to show progress to the quarter to quarter investor.

Frankly the idea that Starlink is passivly reacting to Amazon annoucments is a bit silly. The difficult part is to actually produce these terminals at high volume cheaply, not releasing a few renders.

100% LVT isn't 100% of land value it's 100% of land rents. If the bare land would rent for $2,000/month the tax is $2,000/month. You can't realistically raise the tax beyond this amount because you'd effectively be making land economically unhabitable outside of cases where the improvements were so large that you weren't significantly hindered by having some of the improvement rent absorbed.

At a 100% LVT the price of land is $0 (or more accurately equal to the price of the improvements on it). Above 100% LVT the price of land is negative so building any improvement immediately loses money and a whole host of other negative consequences.

Literally never said that. Speaking of bad faith.

the whole point in context was that exposing software to the internet is high risk, no matter how secure you think it is, because no software is truly ever secure given enough exposure.

Talk about exhausting bullshit. But then what to expect from a green throw away?
Haha, pot calling kettle black. I don’t need to do a damn thing different. Cars are still dangerous 100 years after they were invented, and the world still turns.

You’re the one trying to turn this into some kind of existential emergency. What are you going to do differently?

> To have him actually be up in the polls—something he never did nationally in the aggregate in 2016 or 2020—is signaling landslide.

That’s certainly possible, but another explanation is that the polls are trying to correct for this and have over corrected.
> I get that you're exaggerating, and you perhaps aren't trying to be deceptive by misusing the word "free," but the low markup the RPi guys initially paid to Broadcom does not explain as much as you think it does about the Pi's success.

Broadcom sold the chips to the Raspberry Pi organization at a significant loss, not at a low markup or at cost. They were not free, but they were close to free. The TI guys never even gave anything close to "at cost" to the BeagleBoard folks.

Also, the BeagleBoard was the most hobbyist-targeted and the one with the best PR. There were, and still are, tens of companies making SBCs, but before the RPi they would all sell you singe unit quantity. Not any more. Most of them actually had better support than TI. The NXP boards in general were and still are my favorites.

Also, providing a product at a loss so that it significantly undercuts your competition (also called "dumping") is very much anticompetitive. I don't like using the term for Raspberry Pi because they clearly weren't out to create a monopoly, but the Raspberry Pi was dumping a product.
This is a really great experiment. It's nice to see real work being done on the ground with these kinds of tests and write-ups. I am not a physicist but I imagine this could have implications for gravitational wave detection by improving LIGO's optical sensors, maybe optical sensors in general?

Or maybe this could help with tracking time more accurately? Hopefully someone with knowledge can chime in with what this means in practice.
I thought the reason is because they added two months named July and August after emperors, which offset all the numbers by 2. (Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec - 7, 8, 9, 10)

Because I'm a senior engineer I am giving a lot of "Expertise" interviews for my company. Recruiters tend to presume that seniority implies broad expertise. In my case it doesn't. There's really only one subject that I feel I'm qualified to assess for expertise, but hardly anyone who interviews at the company claims anything about that subject on their resume.

Ninety percent of the time when I interview on that subject the candidate ends up getting a "hard no" from me just based on the first ~10 minutes of the interview, but on a very rare occasion I run across someone who's actually an expert in the field. I'll know because we'll quickly blast past all of the "<subject> 101" questions in the first 5 or 6 minutes, and then I can quickly adapt to deep-dive into technical details, giving them what I know to be fairly novel problems in the domain and then seeing how they apply first principles to tackle them. The "interview" ends up looking more like a collaborative brainstorming session at that point. It's incredible when that happens, which sadly is only maybe once or twice a year.

But usually I end up giving an "Expertise" interview for whatever it is they claim expertise in, whether I myself possess expertise in that subject or not. For the past several months the most prominent subject on literally every single resume has been AI/ML. I certainly don't claim expertise in that field, although I did take a graduate course on computational machine learning theory at university. That gives me "just enough" of a handle to not come across as a completely incompetent interviewer, but it feels like a farce.

With all this AI/ML hype I feel like the "Expertise" interview just ends up being someone pretending to have expertise in AI/ML being interviewed by someone pretending to be able to assess expertise in AI/ML.
Yeah, I think that might well be why I stick to finger counting, so I don’t accidentally count the offset as the first step.

ROCm has improved a lot. And you can rent mi300x in the cloud now. So if you have a program that runs on Nvidia GPUs, it takes no time to test it on a cloud mi300x. If it works you can use it and save some money in the process.
The Henry George Theorem also requires the public good to be local. Military spending for example is a public good that doesn't show up in land value increases.

Also in some cases (often with environmental spending) there is an external downward pressure on land value that is offset by an increase but you don't necessarily get an increase from the original neutral value if the pollution didn't occur.
"See that bird? It’s a brown-throated thrush, but in Germany it’s called a Halzenfugel, and in Chinese they call it a Chung Ling and even if you know all those names for it, you still know nothing about the bird. You only know something about people; what they call the bird. Now that thrush sings, and teaches its young to fly, and flies so many miles away during the summer across the country, and nobody knows how it finds its way."

As someone interested in Apple app dev, would you recommend still starting with ObjC? I notice the dev behind the Swiftcord app (open source Discord client in Swift) has noted at length how much you still need to call into UIKit to get things done as there were a lot of blind alleys in SwiftUI.
"Don't cast your pearls before swine".

When I was younger I used to passionately defend those things I've seen as beautiful, but after years experience talking with people passionate about their fields and learning and those who never will be: If you lack the innate curiosity to explore those things others have declared marvelous, then this book will offer you no value.

Every time I crack this book open I get excited and I've read it multiple time and one most of the exercises. I can think of few other books that really expose the beauty and simultaneously strong engineering foundations of software.

You have "tons of experience programming" and sound like you've already decided you know what needs to be known (otherwise why even ask rather than just read it free online), I doubt this will offer you anything you haven't already seen before.
So Toyota has a company folklore explanation to do with the number of strokes when written in hiragana being a lucky number, but Japanese linguists were skeptical when the BBC did a piece on it and think it was just a preference for the unvoiced version when the town in which it was founded changed its name to match the company: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8534294.stm
