> Use consistent rounding methodologies

This may also mean promoting them to a named part of the business-domain in code, with their own functions, unit-tests, stuff like "fetch Rounding Strategy Suite by country code", etc.

> Use integer representations of time. This one is a little controversial but I stand by it. There are so many libraries in different technologies that parse timestamps into objects, and they all do them differently. Avoid this headache and just use integers. Unix timestamp, or even integer based UTC datetimes work perfectly fine.

Warning: This only works for times that are either firmly in the past or which represent a future delay-offset which is totally under your own exclusive control.

For example, suppose your company has a 48 hour cancellation policy. You can probably compute a future timestamp and use that, it won't depend on whether a customer is about to hit a DST transition or leap-seconds or whatever. nsition.

In contrast, the nation of Ruritania may have their tax year ending at December 30th 17:30 Ruritania Time, but you don't reeeeealy know how many seconds from now that will happen: Tomorrow the Ruritania congress may pass a law altering their tax-schedule or their entire national time-keeping. This means your underlying source-of-truth needs to be the matching conditions, and that often means storing the time-zone.

You've just restated my point. If the deadlines are met, jitter doesn't matter. Ergo, you can't meet deadlines if your jitter is too large. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.
My high school back in France was offering 1000euros each to girls who'd pick STEMs for the last 2 years of their studies and had 12/20 or more on their final exam.

Out of 200 girls 2 picked it, there's only so much you can do but the truth is most women prefer to work with people.

> Q2 deliveries exceeded predictions

This is such a weird thing, I wouldn't get too hung up on it. The "predictions" here were basically a consensus of the most recent predictions. If you look back just one month, it's possible that the predictions had been twice as high but had since been revised down and it would still be reported as missing predictions.

An interesting exercise is to look back at someone who was doing detailed analysis of Tesla's future trying to justify it's then current value and see how accurate it was. Like take a look at this predicting 2M in 2023 (which 2024 looks like it will still miss): https://www.reddit.com/r/teslainvestorsclub/comments/qsn7ve/...

If you tracked the predictions over time, even just the last quarter, at the beginning of the quarter the consensus was over 500k. Saying that they "beat expectations" is, while technically correct, going to be almost universally interpreted incorrectly. This sort of mismatch between the technical, naive reading of words and their actual meaning is a big contributor to retail investors generally making rather poor decisions.
If you allow thread migration across CPUs, then per-CPU nurseries become problematic when collecting, unless you stop the world.
I would be fine with the latter, the program could display a warning like "Results may be inaccurate, full scan required" or something.

I guess I'm just annoyed that for Windows/NTFS really fast programs are available but not for Linux filesystems.
Embodied is useful, but I think not necessary even if you need learning in a 3D environment. Synthesized embodiment should be enough. While in some cases[0] it may have problems with fidelity, simulating embodied experience in silico scales much better, and more importantly, we have control over time flow. Humans always learn in real-time, while with simulated embodiment, we could cram years of subjective-time experiences into a model in seconds, and then for novel scenarios, spend an hour per each second of subjective time running a high-fidelity physics simulation[1].

[0] - Like if you plugged a 3D game engine into the training loop.

[1] - Results of which we could hopefully reuse in training later. And yes, a simulation could itself be a recording of carefully executed experiment in real world.

From the article:

Jacqui Hanley, head of research funding at Alzheimer’s Research UK, said: “Without a detailed picture of what is going on in the brain, we don’t know if being a ‘morning’ or ‘evening’ person affects memory and thinking, or if a decline in cognition is causing changes to sleeping patterns.”

When searching I get almost entire file snippets with the search content and scrolling through them would take forever. In comparison see Lazyvim or IntelliJ products search UI, (even vscode is OK, though it requires mouse a bit), you should be able to scroll through found lines, and while you do that you can see the surrounding context of the selected line.

I went from a night owl to a morning person; I am vastly more productive as a morning person. No idea about brain function though. I just enjoy finishing all my work at lunch time these days.
Entertaining is indeed the right word. Nice job identifying corner cases of models' visual processing; curiously, they're not far conceptually from some optical illusions that reliably trip humans up. But to call the models "blind" or imply their low performance in general? That's trivially invalidated by just taking your phone out and feeding a photo to ChatGPT app.

Like, seriously. One poster below whines about "AI apologists" and BeMyEyes, but again, it's all trivially testable with your phone and $20/month subscription. It works spectacularly well on real world tasks. Not perfectly, sure, but good enough to be useful in practice and better than alternatives (which often don't exist).
I wonder if it's the time of the day or...

Night people tend to go to bed when they're tired and wake up when they're done sleeping.

Early risers either use an alarm or go to bed / wake up at fixed (i.e. forced) times, mostly due to external constraints.

Is the difference really between scheduled sleep and sleeping when you feel like it?

they aren’t cell diseases. It is plant toxins either leaking into the blood stream through intestinal permeability or a problem with peoples livers being fatty and not able to do their job anymore resulting in the bodies inability to remove plant toxins. The toxins cause an immune reaction wherever they build up , rheumatoid arthritis if it’s the joints of the legs and arms etc.

Plant toxins include pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, both human created and sprayed on and natural ones to stop animals and bugs eating them. They also include glysophate

What you’re describing is called the law of conservation of misery. Misery is like a water-filled party balloon. If you squeeze it in one place it expands in another, often between your fingers.
I'll agree through biased rationalization. It's 1:33 am now and have more tasks to finish rather than procrastinating on HN. Later folks.
I have met a fair number of early risers who simply go to bed early.

The thing about fly.io / heroku / vercel is you are gaining convenience by giving up control over the underlying infrastructure.

When you give up control of the infrastructure you also give up the ability to decide what's right and wrong.

> art does not need to be political

Art is intrinsically political. If you think it's not political, that's because it's just taking a political position you either don't see, or one you agree with.

The only way to remove politics from art would be to remove the people.
I'm a night owl C-suite (CTO), but with all of my peers as you describe.

It's possible to make it work, you have to be very firm on your boundaries. One option that worked for me was to explain that I can effectively do more timezone coverage despite being in the same Geo-zone.

It also helped to showcase the work I do while they are offline, so when they wake up they see a column of work that has been bounced back across to their plate.

It is definitely hard though, and takes the right crowd who respects you enough to make it work.

It's probably impossible to do this as a CEO though.
RECOVER is the biggest scam when it comes to research unfortunately. 90% of their studies are focusing on various form of "brain exercises", CBT therapy and exercise therapy. Things that are not only proven to not work, but actually proven to harm people with ME/CFS (of which long covid patients make up a large amount).
> Optimization, by definition, requires that something be "overdone"

I would disagree.

I guess word meanings differ slightly between your and my social circles.

E.g. “optimised for read load”.
Working at a company and keeping an early morning routine is absolutely brutal to my productivity. I'm a zombie for about 4/5ths of the day, and I start winding up around end of day. Then all night evening and into the night I'm high performing, only to force myself to sleep so I can wake up early again the next day and repeat.

Yes I've tried melatonin, morning full-spectrum light therapy (incl sunlight), nighttime blue light filters, exercise, restricted night diet, alcohol + caffeine + sugar abstinence, and more that I'm sure I forgot about. Morning productivity just doesn't work for me. The world isn't made for night owl workers.

An index that combines multiple indexing techniques, e.g. vector search with more classical information retrieval techniques such as BM25.

I strongly support your idea, although few people do this now. This is the spirit that contemporary programmers lack.
> The real world outside is designed to trip up the model. Strange things happen all the time.

Counterpoint: real world is heavily sanitized towards things that don't trip human visual perception up too much, or otherwise inconvenience us. ML models are trained on that, and for that. They're not trained for dealing with synthetic images, that couldn't possibly exist in reality, and designed to trip visual processing algorithms up.

Also:

> People are rushing to build this AI into all kinds of products, and they actively don’t want to know where the problems are.

Glass half-full (of gasoline) take: those products will trip over real-world problems, identifying them in the process, and the models will get better walking over the corpses of failed AI-get-rich-quick companies. The people involved may not want to know where the problems are, but by deploying the models, they'll reveal those problems to all.

> Because software developers have no governing body, no oaths of ethics and no spine someone will end up dead in a ditch from malfunctioning AI.

That, unfortunately, I 100% agree with. Though AI isn't special here - not giving a fuck kills people regardless of the complexity of software involved.

I have an old Intel Mac Pro 2015, which slowly transitioned from my working laptop to a personal use laptop. I'm using VSCode there and it works fine. I mean I've never faced any slowdowns because of the VSCode.

I had a small project coming up and decided to try out Zed. As it's a native app I thought it would perform better than VSCode. But to my surprise it was not the case. The performance was actually worse.

And as for the TS integration, the overall experience is worse than on VSCode. The autocompletion works in a weird way, no way to just look at available methods, I have to start typing. It's just frustrating. I even decided to give another go to Sublime Text and it felt much better than Zed.

So Zed didn't work for me, but I'm sure it will work for somebody else.

I pasted the photo into ChatGPT. Here's what it came up with.

The whiteboard contains several famous physics equations. Here are the ones I can identify:

1. *Einstein's field equations (General Relativity):*
\[
E = \frac{8\pi G}{3} \left( \rho + \frac{\Lambda}{8\pi G} \right)
\]
\[
R_{\mu\nu} - \frac{1}{2} R g_{\mu\nu} + \Lambda g_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8 \pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu\nu}
\]

2. *Planck's law:*
\[
E = h\nu
\]
\[
E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}
\]

3. *Schrödinger equation (Quantum Mechanics):*
\[
i\hbar \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t} = \hat{H} \psi
\]

4. *Lagrangian mechanics:*
\[
L = T - V
\]
where \( T \) is kinetic energy and \( V \) is potential energy.

5. *Newton's law of universal gravitation:*
\[
F = G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
\]

6. *Friedmann equations (Cosmology):*
\[
\left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2 = \frac{8\pi G}{3} \rho - \frac{k}{a^2}
\]

7. *Coulomb's law:*
\[
F = k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
\]

8. *Boltzmann's entropy formula:*
\[
S = k_B \ln \Omega
\]

9. *Maxwell's equations (Electromagnetism):*
\[
\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}
\]
\[
\nabla \times \mathbf{B} - \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}}{\partial t} = \mu_0 \mathbf{J}
\]

10. *The cosmological equation:*
\[
\ddot{a} = -\frac{4 \pi G}{3} (\rho + 3p) a + \frac{\Lambda}{3} a
\]

11. *Thermodynamic identity:*
\[
dU = TdS - PdV
\]

This collection of equations spans various domains of physics, including quantum mechanics, general relativity, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and cosmology.
