Most advice for creating high achieving people is meant for high achieving kids of high achieving parents.

Independent study is perfect when the student has a strong base for subject navigation and requisite enterprisingness to investigate by themselves.

A beginners needs to be hand held, because they often don't know what they don't know. Keeping the cognitive load low helps keep the student from developing aversion foe the subject.

I only fully grasped this when I tried to learn drums as an adult. Training wheels and strictly guided practice is essential to reach the first level of competence. You can own your development journey after that.

Exceptions exist, and those are the geniuses. To me, a genius is someone who can demonstrate competence in a field, despite bad pedagogy. They should never be used to guide teaching methods for the other 99%.
Mere existence of a competitor doesn't preclude an anti-trust case for monopolization or abuse of a dominant market position.

Lots of office suites exist, but Microsoft has to tread lightly. In Recent News, the EU is dinging them for bundling/tying Teams with Office. Because it's a dominant market position, regardless of competitors.

If at some future time, Google Sheets has a significant market share, they might get dinged, too.
Fun fact, we fixed this issue by adding a #profanity tag and dropping the message to the next human agent.

Now our most prolific sales engineer could no longer run demos to potential clients. He had many embarrassing calls where the Ai would just not respond. His last name was Dick.
While Unity's GC deserves the flak it gets, it was improved eventually by introducing incremental garbage collection mode that divides the work between the frames: https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.3/Documentation/Manual/perform...

It is also important to acknowledge the work Unity has done with its Burst compiler and their homegrown SIMD/BLAS capabilities: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.burst@1.4/manual...

Burst is also capable of auto-vectorization. It is effectively using a subset of C# as DSL but nonetheless a tool that serves its purpose. It also has various assertions to ensure that the performance does not regress, like failing the build if the code change breaks auto-vectorization, something I have not seen in C++ lands (please do correct me if there is a comparable tool).

With the ongoing move to CoreCLR, Unity's own intrinsics and SIMD/Math abstractions will be replaced by in many ways identical ones that are present in .NET's CoreLib. As for Burst, I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

I am most interested in what Unity will do in regards to GC implementation - .NET supports custom GCs and it is high time someone implemented one, particularly for consistent latency sensitive scenarios. The existing implementation is good, but games really do love determinism and relatively few developers can do what PPY did to achieve 1000hz game loop in OSU!.
I wish Supah Valves [1] were still available so I could recommend them. They use a smaller sprinkler valve as a pilot to move a much larger piston based valve _very_ quickly. That lets a lot more of your reservoir pressure get to the barrel before your projectile has shot out the end. The result? More range. More grins.

> Companies are not natural environments.

Sure, as in "man made", but - just wanted to say - oodles can certainly be said (and, academically I am sure it has) about "natural" corporate environments (ie. environments arising from man made corporativism ...)
Gotcha, I made the mistaken assumption this was a rewrite.
> Notes On Structured Concurrency goes into some depth on this comparison:

Yeah, this is why we use `sync.WaitGroup`s and similar abstractions in Go. Using bare channels (like using `goto`) is fine for small local things, but if you're building abstractions you should use patterns like those discussed in the article (for example: https://go.dev/play/p/UoB8ECDbaTw --I'm sure this can be abstracted further).
Yeah, I know too well that rhetoric. That doesn't hold scrutiny unfortunately, and I think you know it, but it doesn't stop you from spreading it. You _sound_ wise, but you just assert things, like the "aggression by US Neocons", but you don't say what is the aggression. "Ignorance of history"? You don't say what history. You mention payments from Hunter Biden and Rudy Giulliani, but did you deduce this all by yourself, or do you have credible sources?

And then, I'm curious, what makes you think that Putin is a patient and reasonable strategist?
What is patient and reasonable, exactly?
Not only invading, but _annexing_ other nation's land?
Throwing in jail for 7 years anyone who criticize the war?
killing/poisoning your political opponents?
Airing fake demonstrations of people demanding "we nuke Europe NOW"!
Turning your country into a fascist military dictatorship, proudly putting assault rifles in the hand of children in kindergarten?
Letting state-sponsored TV hosts say the most ridiculously fascist things like “Life is highly overrated”, "Ukrainians are not humans", "Ukrainian children should be drowned in the Tysyna", "We will kill 1 million, or 5 million; we can exterminate all of you".
Pretend Ukraine is filled with nazi organ-trafficking satanist pedophiles?
While you torture and starve POWs?
Rewriting history? Pretending they fought the nazi since the beginning, while they invaded Poland hand-in-hand with the nazis, and were best friends until Hitler betrayed them. Only then they fought, for their survival, it was never a choice. Pretending they defeated the nazis alone, while the US helped them a lot with their logistics.

It's a sea of lies. You just have come up with big lies, repeat them again and again, and somehow it'll work. Textbook fascism, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie. And now, with open western social networks, it's super easy, super cheap. So, yeah, Putin is certainly not reasonable, he is just a "strategist", but he's just applying old fascist propaganda techniques, and let the useful idiots, bigots and opportunists do the rest.
Yeah, if you're doing detailed prints often, especially decorative stuff, resin can't be beat by standard fdm.
I have a Palma (they sent for review) and I think it's great, though I agree it probably isn't worth the price for most.

https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/03/boox-ereaders-poke-5-palma...

But the text looks good, the light is nice, and you can even install apps that aren't too demanding - a crossword or something.

I've found that even a Clara HD or BW (the latest version) can be a bit bulky when you're going out with no bag, but the Palma fits in any jeans or jacket pocket and is excellent to have when you find yourself with 20 minutes to wait and no desire to doomscroll. I hope these things get more popular and accessible.
Yes, that's what the documentation has been retroactively changed to say. It used to say that the memory was usable immediately.

Also, `realloc` is not guaranteed to actually operate in-place.
Your point, caller?
Now that brings back memories. As a kid, my friends and I knew the woods/creek like the back of our hands, and there were many instances of losing a tail that way. The thing that I found the most interesting was civilian tails seemed much more engaged than the boys in blue ever did. Not sure what the civilian rationale was, but I know the boys in blue didn't want to deal with that much paper work for stupid teenage pranks.
The only question I have is: how will I pay for all these services?
Honestly I think the only way to get rid of cheating in online games is to use some form of identity vetting.

I know of one place where there is zero spam and it’s because of the identity vetting infrastructure.
it's literally just the oracle problem all over again
Haha, 100% human generated.
The rest of my comment mostly agrees with that. I highlighted that there is an overage of people with degrees rather than actual education.

> In any case there have already been tons of math resources available for a while now.

That's great if you have the ability to learn everything from a static resource, and have the time to wait for asynchronous guidance. But what if you just sort of get it, but there is no one that can explain the parts you don't get? I've been to places where the educational standards are low enough that making change from a payment was an impossible task without a calculator. A keen student in that particular village has no one they can easily ask about math when they hit a sticking point.

> Intellectual obesity is a thing - simply knowing more things isn’t inherently useful.

I don't disagree for extreme cases, but creating more resources for people to learn has an incredible payoff, and is almost certainly morally right. Erring on the side of overeducated rarely turns out poorly at the societal, or personal level. Across the world, more highly educated societies tend to be better off across most QOL metrics. I'm well aware that there are anecdotal counterexamples of math PHDs living off of ramen. But there's a damn good reason that brain drain is a concern in many places, and other places favour immigration candidates with higher education.

It's impossible to say because these models are proprietary.
It's called iteration. Humans do the same thing.
This anecdote highlights scope creep and mismanagement, not a fault of gRPC.
I usually just pick it up from X, following a couple of good, space focused journalists helps push most space news up to me.

If you use intellij, you can annotate your text protos with some header comments and unlock schema validation, completion, etc.
"Go to bed" is useless advice. Some of us are unable to sleep longer than about 5 hours. Room darkening, white noise, complete silence, 8Sleep mattress pad, extended release melatonin, caffeine abstinence, going to bed later, going to bed earlier, nothing works. We just naturally wake up after 5 hours, no matter what, ready to go.
> It's pretty wild that Paramount+/Disney+/Peacock or whatever really struggle to get going, especially given that they provide access to top shows that people really want to watch. It's like having Breaking Bad-esque product but really screwing up when it comes to wanting people to watch it. ... The tech's cheap and they already have the content.

This might not be evident, but ViacomCBS/Paramount back catalog is by and large available on Pluto.TV.

In their app it's available played back from VOD as if linear television in highly targeted "channels" which is convenient if you want to have something "on in the background".

More conveniently, it is also available as an Apple TV "Channel" for PlutoTV that makes too many old shows to ever watch available as VOD.

This also seems to be a catalog behind various house branded linear+VOD TVs, e.g. Samsung, Vizio, Comcast... The tell you're looking at a Pluto white label seems to be the TV grid organization by genre.

Because of the rights, it has all the old Star Trek related series, the old Doctor Who, and countless shows of every variety that had been on CBS, Paramount, Viacom, etc. in the past. If you watched 8 hours a day with no repeats, you'd have over 35 years of TV ahead of you...

If you want to setup a chrony time server that maintains accuracy to within a microsecond and doesn’t do this with a network connection then you could try my sbts-aru project and just not use the audio recorder parts of it.

https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru

It installs with a single command on all Raspberry Pi versions and takes care of all the dependencies, configuration and startup order details to install and start working with one command.

It’s a sound localizing audio recorder platform and that’s why it also sets up accurate time.

It’s using GPS to get its time from.

May depend what kind of fat it is.

My one one rat experience was trying keto years back and having my glycogen reserves bottom out and my body had not switched to ketone body metabolism so I was thoroughly spaced when I was chairing a critical meeting where we had 20 members vote one way, 20 members vote the other way with one in the bathroom. Fortunately a friend helped delay a remote until the person got back from the bathroom who voted the way we wanted.

It seemed like a win at the time but it was the first of many votes like that that revealed our organization was non-viable.
> What layers? Switching from REST (presumably JSON over http) to gRPC shouldn't introduce any new "layers".

Of course it does, starting with the protobufs and code generation. You say yourself in your very next reply:

"New tools sure, you need protoc or buf to build the bindings from the IDL, but what is the new DSL you need to learn?"

And the DSL is presumably protobuf, which you yourself are "increasingly annoyed" with.

Are you sure it's not called recursion?
> the brain related to anxiety

anxiety likely may produce some healthy behaviour reaction: animal starts running/hunting/escaping more, which may increase health indicators. Many humans start overeating, which is bad.

Story from my life: when I was in some stressful life situation, I exercised much more driving my anxiety/fear in that direction, and got the best fitness results in my life.
Same energy when I did a test drive for a Nissan Ariya. Was surprised (last time I test drove a car was 12 years ago when we bought our Sienna) - was a totally different experience.

We even took the car home and ensured it could park in our garage :)
Currently looking into overseas mail-order. I'm too far from Mexico or Canada to drive there; I haven't considered darknet/alibaba because if I get sold a fake, I won't be able to tell without lab tests, and I can't afford the lab tests. There's also some concern that by the time I have negative lab results that would indicate a fake it may be too late to save the kidney anyway.
We’ve heard and experienced the paradigm/terminology thing and are focusing heavily on devex. It's common to hear that only one engineer on a team will have experience with or knowledge of how things are architected with Temporal, which creates silos and makes it very difficult to debug when things are going wrong.

With Hatchet, the starting point is a single function call that gets enqueued according to a configuration you've set to respective different fairness and concurrency constraints. Durable workflows can be built on top of that, but the entire platform should feel intuitive and familiar to anyone working in the codebase.
I'm sure any human could have done those recaps, it's not like Michaels was some Nobel prize winner commenter. And even if he was, he definitely wasn't the only one. Instead of hiring another person they just wanted to cut costs, and it's all a race to the very bottom of the bottom of the bottom.
To be fair, LLMs (especially Google LLMs) aren't merely 24 months old. This is part of a long line of models that draw their heritage from BERT and t5-flan. Google has been at this longer than most, particularly in the field of edge-compute models. This isn't even close to a first-generation model family.

That's not to say this is an insignificant contribution. New models are great, especially when released for free, and it's important for big firms to keep the ball rolling for tech to progress. Though there is also legitimate concern that all LLMs aren't improving as fast as they used to improve, and we may have hit the proverbial bathtub curve of AI progress.
> if it becomes really-good and 100's of millions of kids start using it

If it actually works, this is the ideal outcome.
I was doing ecological work in a lake when we came under spudgun fire. Someone (kids?) began slowly firing from a distant treeline on the side of one of the hills that surrounded the lake. I knew the distinctive thump, so I was looking out for the first splash, which ended up being much closer than I expected it to be! I had assumed they would be aiming somewhere else. I informed my shipmates that we were under attack and we rowed to shore as fast as possible. They got in about three or four shots, but we escaped injury and no one was ever caught.

Not sure why you’re comparing the c++ Excel to the browser version of sheets. It would make more sense to compare the native version of Excel to the native versions of sheets, ie. android iOS and chromeOS, and the browser sheets to the browser excel.
I remember shooting a potato into a wall, hoping to laugh at the potato becoming mush. There was no mush. Only potato dust.
Something I didn’t see listed was the lack of a package manager for protos.

For example if I want to import some common set of structs into my protos, there isn’t a standardized or wide spread way to do this. Historically I have had to resort to either copying the structs over or importing multiple protoc generated modules in my code (not in my protos).

If there was a ‘go get’ or ‘pip install’ equivalent for protos, that would be immensely useful; for me and my colleagues at least.
Am I right in thinking that if those employees save any of the money, then they accumulate wealth, but if they don't (because they don't receive enough compared to their fixed costs, or for any other reason) wealth accumulates elsewhere, probably in the hands of plutocrats?
Looks like the hallucination rate doesn't improve significantly, but I suppose it's still a win if it helps humans review things faster? Though I could imagine reliance on the tool leading to missing less obvious problems.
The first tell is the "here's a bunch of bullet points on the topic" format which is classic ChatGPT. The second tell is that it is a generic comment that doesn't actually answer OP's question about concrete uses of distributed DBs. The third tell is that this person keeps submitting clear LLM output despite getting called out multiple times on it.
In America contempt of civil servants is more or less required.

You need to be very careful with cookies. I wouldn't do it unless there's a real compelling business reason, and even then, when I've done it in the past, we did it with a totally different domain. Ex: I worked at yahoo travel, travel.yahoo.com, we did cobranded pages with vendors; cruise bookings happened on cruises.travel.yahoo.net

I've also seen integration specific domains get used, but ownership of the domain can get complicated, IMHO a subdomain is the right thing to use, but it shouldn't be your primary user-facing domain.
