Yes true. Mostly just opining on the “list of everything you gotta’ know” is a bit TOO concrete IMO. (As opposed to too abstract)

I was quoting out of similar things years ago at the start of my career, “it should be done this way because X said it” didn’t help me at all.

It feels like insulation against being called too junior, since, you can just wholesale adopt someone else’s list of ideas and you’re good. But making mistakes because you’re new to the career is precisely what forms the base of those opinions in the first place.
Honestly Twitter has become a downright hostile browsing experience on any browser and any hardware. It's probably on purpose to make you use the app.

I believe the reason they offer no details about how they tuned the kernels is that the tuning is done by a tool provided by AMD. See here:

> If you can't easily explain why something is difficult, then it's incidental complexity, which is probably worth addressing

That's a real eye-opener. Hope I remember this next time I implement something complex.
The thing is, I don't think this stuff would've helped me much when I was a junior dev. A lot of them are just too nuanced.

As I understand it, the court didn't so much agree as practically force them to accept the deal.

The whole thing was largely engineered by the Sacklers managing to get the case heard by probably the most Sackler-friendly judge in the country.
This is what I believe, and it's one of the bigger points I made when I wrote Death By a Thousand Microservices:

It's related, I think.

In a truly lean business environment, people would not have so much time mucking around with these frameworks. It actually looks like developers come up with zingy library and framework names and THEN they actually write them.
I haven't touched Next, but the discussions and issues of some things I do use seem littered with people thinking they're on the client when they're on the server and vice versa.

Someone upthread said there were some common Auth footguns and I'm not surprised at all.

Maybe the warnings are to try to mitigate that.
I asked ChatGPT for sources and they were impossible to determine if they were real or not. It'd cite things like "Sky and Telescope magazine" no edition, no page numbers no year, just a vague unverifiable citation
Eeeeh, I think there is a more good-faith take on the events. My personal take is that they were just trying to do the meatspace equivalent of a bug bounty, without even attempting to touch or take any items.

Kinda like how, typically, you would be incliner to file user bugs and report any vulnerabilities you find in a product you care about. Despite having zero monetary incentive to do so (more often than not).
Different culture and society. Here you get paid better as a supermarket clerk with overtimes than a soldier, or clearly better if you get promoted from a clerk to/pick another role (shift manager, or warehouse work). And our desperate also use the travel flexibility to work in Greece, Spain, Italy, Germany, Denmark, than here. We used to be the source of manual labour during summer in many of those countries.
There is no "possibly" about it. It is the only way to expose these wrongdoings.

The system is rotten and rigged. The sooner people wake up to this reality, the better. Like any breakup, the longer you let the relationship go, the more difficult and painful it is when you end it.
Correct, except generally they aren’t even good at ops. They tend to know a highly specific slice, or how to operate an abstraction. But troubleshooting Linux? Good luck.
I verified it by personally buying RISC-V boards and trying to make something out of them.

This is not FUD. The boot process isn’t better than on Arm, which is already terrible. End users need to find magic .isos, while developers need to search for magic vendor forks of everything: u-boot, kernel, OpenSBI.

Re compilers: Sure you can target RV64GC and everything more or less works, but your performance will likely be terrible. To squeeze more performance you might need magic or out of tree versions of GCC and/or Clang.

For some reason these questions are not asked when the selection process ends up favouring those with higher skin pigmentation like e.g. happens in the NBA or in long-distance running.

Should there be a call for more 'white' or 'east-asian' basketball players or long-distance runners? No, there should be not, may the best person win. The same should be true for every other field of endeavour, identity politics should be removed from the narrative and shunned for the divisive effects is has had and has on public discourse where it served and serves to create a fractal of warring factions.
how about suicide? i'd compare it to knowing when the party is over and then going home instead of getting yet another drink and miserably trying to score with the last remaining woman. it's an art and it can be trained at many occasions. now for the act itself - the regular hn crowd should be technically apt enough to assemble the required gear around a big gas cylinder of nitrogen. that's as peaceful as it gets.

This one is good and has been following me since I've became a manager. Thanks to you, I know how to apply that objection to "press" people when I feel we're dealing with this kind of complexity.
I'm as close as you get to an old school Infiniband fanboi.

Don't think that Infiniband is somehow an Nvidia moat, if anything because they ate up the last somewhat independent vendor (Mellanox) it's likely it will be replaced by some variant of what is now being called Ultra Ethernet which for the most part incorporates ideas from Infiniband into the Ethernet PHY layer along with bolting into libfabric at the userland level. The people with the brains behind it include the Omni-Path folk (which is descendent from QLogic and SilverStorm before that) which have extensive experience in Infiniband and are now free from the shackles of Intel.

However this has absolutely nothing to do with chiplet designs or multi-die architectures (which Nvidia has done before with their dual GPU stuff from the GTX 900 series days etc).

The fact of the matter is that Nvidia has no experience whatsoever with chiplets or advanced packaging. AMD has on the other hand absolutely tons from yes, chiplets but also HBM, 3d-vcache etc all of which are ultimately advanced packaging techniques that all build on shared background of expertise.

Nvidia needs to rapidly catch up in this area or their future is a lot less certain.

This is putting aside what is happening with Tenstorrent/Etched/Groq, etc which threaten to eat up the vast majority of the non-training workloads associated with the current crop of AI/LLM architectures.
Certainly. My middle son was looking at buying a property in a near by town. He asked me to come an look at it. We had the actual shire plans for the blocks and while looking at the property lines, we measured the actual fence to fence widths. The block was being sold by the owner of an adjoining block and when we measured we found that the fence line had been moved by about 20 to 30 cm. On querying the owner about this, he was somewhat angry that we were questioning where the fence was as he was the one who had it built.

From what I could see, the builders most likely kicked the boundary peg out of the ground and just put it back willy nilly.

As a consequence, I did advise my son to have nothing to do with the property and we did inform the real estate agent of the problem. This would put legal responsibility on the estate agent if it was sold without the boundary line being corrected.

Due diligence is necessary if you are doing this kind of thing.
The amount of fruit you’d have to consume to ingest unhealthy levels of fructose is astronomical. Worrying about whether fruit is unhealthy is most likely causing you more harm than the fructose in fruit. Don’t worry about eating fruit.
Could you provide a link to these datasets? People always talk about data but never show it. I wanted to make an opinion but couldn't find the data at all - not counting obviously opportunistic inconclusive studies designed to support a predetermined political opinion.

It makes perfect sense. The system is working exactly as intended.

That's a very un-European view that would mark you as crazy here. Nobody goes to the army to get a job, not even those who can't find a job, and the unemployment office won't try to suggest it - it's not considered a job here, it's a service duty.

In my country we don't have mandatory military service. The "employer of the last resort" is the unemployment office and welfare, not army. I have never heard of anybody going to the army for any other than duty/ideological reasons, desperation for a job might even disqualify you - they want people who are motivated to join the army, not poor desperate people looking for money.
I find with stable diffusion, images for a type of prompt seem to all show the same person. Add something like “mature” to the prompt and you get a different (but same) person for all those images, regardless of seed.

When one asks prompts for which it hasn’t seen in training data, the results start to look less realistic.

Have even seen adult video logos in generated images.

I very much strongly suspect AI is not what we think.
Who has gotten jail or prison time for copyright violations in recent times?

I’m aware of recent cases in Canada where defendants chose to ignore a court ruling and attempt to republish very similar material as what the court had originally found them to be in copyright violation for. They were then found to be in contempt of the court which is a criminal offence and then ordered to complete jail time and pay substantial fines.

Copyright violations are not criminal offences in countries I’m aware of. Please tell me of any cases where a copyright violator faced jail time for the copyright violation and not for related criminal offences.

This is an exhorbitant exaggeration. They are duplicated requests for a favicon. Not only is that a tiny resource, most of these requests are 404ing which is cheap. And even if it isn't 404, your favicon is a tiny static asset, it should either be served by CDN or in the server's filesystem cache anyways.

I've seen her unpublished memoir, A Grasshopper in Very Tall Grass, quoted in quite a few places and it definitely seems worth publishing, such a shame no publisher has taken any interest in it yet.
Agreed. Most of the issues stated here are communication issues roughly.

If standup is not enough and there are still confusions, just talk to people, get in a huddle or short call, I mean all adults do it daily.

Tests take upfront effort but if the codebase is fairly decent tests can be written with much less pain. However, if the code suffers from super coupling and other tangled mess, it is natural for people to skip writing tests as that will require refactoring the code … and eventually momentum sets in and coverage goes to bottom.

Refinements are frequently necessary for large scale projects with tiny manpower or unclear requirements still being worked on. Then again, if there are issues, talk to people please.

Overall, interesting article but did not learn anything new.
I started a strict Keton diet back in April. I started by doing a 48 hour fast to completely eliminate stored glycogen stores. I also began with intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast. It was hard at first, but thankfully I never experienced the "keto flu" that some people do. I wonder if the initial fasting helped with that.
I also find it challenging to put on weight when exercising, but to make this comment more accurate you may want to caveat that this is how your body responds to exercise.

Many people appear to experience a commensurate increase in appetite after exercise such that they do not lose weight unless they also consciously restrict calories.
Generating fake portrait photos seems kind of boring.

Wouldn't these kinds of negative prompts and tweaking break down if I wanted to plug in more varied descriptions of people?

I find it interesting to plug in colorful descriptions of person's traits from a novel for example, or of people actually doing something.

Using "ugly", "disfigured" as negative prompt probably wouldn't work then...

For the pictures in the article, my first association is someone generating romance scam profile pictures, not art.
The original post is saying (in antagonizing language) that 30% coral coverage is a record high.

If you click on the “download this report” button on the page you linked, Figures 2, 3, and 4 show graphs of coral coverage over time, support this claim. (In 1985 they were at around 30% coverage, not 100%.)
The one thing I disagree is the thing about editors.

When I began coding I spent hours tweaking my vimrc file and learning all the essentially random shortcuts, and dealing with the absurdities of vimscript. (and debugging vim plugins that broke each other.) It felt like actual work while I was producing nothing.

Now I just open vscode with default settings and I am productive right away. Who cares about editors, vscode is good enough.

But maybe just vim sucks and I should have been playing with emacs all along, I don't know.
I was a web developer before jQuery, during jQuery and still am after jQuery. You really want react/similar even for very small apps. I went and tried to implement a simple calculator app without any dependencies just to see if it got better with Web components, but not really, way too limited to be useful for anything other than purely design tokens if you don't want to reimplement React. jQuery is not really necessary any more, the problems it used to fix are solved - but there is still no support to make a reasonably organized and performant reactive application.

BTW not sure what you mean with the useMemo - I built very large applications in React (hundreds of complex dynamic financial analysis pages) and didn't have much problems with it - could you go into detail please?
Is there a better resource that talks about the systems side of things? It looks like there might be something interesting there but it's too opaque to figure out what that might be

The things I could tease out:

* Fully modifiable worlds

* "living worlds", or at least grass grows and other ecosystem-y things

* No partitioning of player base, all in same realm
Yes, that's my point. An agency interpreting the law that governs their mandate is at least nominally trying to do so in a manner that yields effective policy, but that's not really a goal of the courts, so letting the courts defer to the agencies probably will produce better policy then leaving it up to case law.

Neither semiconductors nor plastics shift the energy generation paradigm. "Advanced materials"- alright, well, which ones? And do they give us a better return than good old steam?

Wind, solar and batteries are products of combustion-fueled industry. The extent to which we have electrified the world industrial base is minimal, and to do so at the current scale on the basis of wind and solar would take a larger quantity of several metals than is available in the crust, to set aside the consequences of a massive expansion in mining, the poor recycling rates for most of the relevant materials, and the fact that, even with a much-improved recovery rate, this would only buy us on the order of several hundred years.

A more promising energy production system for a resource-limited world is thorium molten salt, which is comfortably Carnot in spirit, relatively cheap and easy to build, fuel and operate, no danger of meltdown, no "dual-use" for weapons, can consume existing nuclear waste... And we would do well to explore alternative battery chemistries as lithium is neither unique nor optimal, simply popular, and our hunger for it at present seems to be motivating some unpleasant political machinations.
How does the app connect to the aircraft’s internet during flight ?
It’s the logical outcome for most when you don’t grow up being told to RTFM, you’ve never had to recompile a kernel to get an expansion card to work, and you’ve never touched hardware.
>Pros are born with 80-95% of the raw ability and the rest is training.

The difficulty with this statement is trying to get it to override the glaring anecdotal counterexample staring every parent-child pair in the face.

You have one dude who had no cultivated knowledge of the sport and took a couple of tennis lessons from "Old Whiskey" then wrote a 85 page plan and then will-powered the shit out of getting his physically non-alike non-identical twin daughters to be pro tennis athletes.

The idea that the guy who had a tennis idea just happened to come by two daughters who were already possesing 85-90% god given talent for the sport he just happened to specifically pick is hard for a human to wrap their mind around I think.

Don't get be wrong, it could still be true. But if it's true, some should still test it.
