I like this documentary, I'm not sure if it's accurate, but whatever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmnVP35uZFY

But also, I'm pretty in tune with the culture here, I'd say the current leadership is obviously quite old and so is the voting populace and the attitude is now, "Japan works good enough, it has worked, we were an economic super power and people seem to love coming here for holidays, so best not to change anything, we might become a economic super power again if we just maintain".

I find Japanese people are generally extremely risk adverse, so not changing things is the best way to avoid problems according to many people I've interacted with.

I'm 99% sure that's the sentiment and what's "wrong with it". It's not going that great for the economy but there is a fear instating a younger more progressive politician might be worse.

In the 80s and 90s, people were younger on average, people had money and so taking moon shots was fine.

I honestly think Japan is a wonderful place and the culture is fascinating, I think there is something to be said for their slowness to adopt new things too, it's not all bad. Their culture makes them be more "ok" with not being ontop economically IMO. I think patience is an important Japanese virtue which is why people here aren't just screaming for change. Japan is the kind of place where people keep money under their bed for an emergency.
I've always thought of story points as ideally* working like a kind of international currency exchange, where it is normal and expected that Team Teal Dollars will not have any permanent or consistent relationship to Team Maroon Doollars nor to Actual Time. (The saying "time is money" notwithstanding.)

The points will inflate or deflate over the course of months, or even abruptly change with team composition or shifting to new technologies or even vague morale issues. All that is normal, it captures important facets of work, and trying to stop it from happening only creates other problems.

What matters is that somebody is looking at near-past behavior and using it to make a near-future estimate.

* If someone tries to mandate a fixed arbitrary correspondence between points and real world time, that would be a non-ideal scenario for various reasons.
I know pretty much everyone who makes stuff at home now has a decent printer as part of their tools and knows how to design basic stuff. The thing is people tinkering with stuff has become niche, as most people now no longer care to know how stuff works and just buy new when something breaks.

For those who do fix things or build/craft them, a 3D printer is now a pretty standard and mature part of the toolset.

It did revolutionise things especially in the home (in the industry it already had, we just didn't know it because it was hidden behind prototype NDAs and hundreds of thousands of dollar price tags). That's pretty great for a piece of tech. It democratised the ability to custom design, share such designs and manufacture them reliably to the masses. Only a niche of the masses is interested in that because most of them are mindless consumer drones, but still.

People expect too much these days. VR was never going to revolutionise everything. That's just what some circlejerking investors were telling themselves. But it will revolutionise some usecases it's good at. It's opening an amazing new door in terms of storytelling and art for one. It's not shaking up the whole world but it doesn't have to to be a success. I'm a bit sick of these hype men calling everything a flop if it isn't providing their imaginary 2000% return in two years.

The same with AI. It's good at some things and totally sucks at many others. They're trying to shoehorn it into everything again and making it a failure.
High Levels of PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' Found in Food and Drink Products – Study
I always find these categories frustrating.

A Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger do not belong in the same category. In the first, you have action fights that require quick hand-eye coordination and skilled reflexes. In the 2nd you just choose actions from menus, no hand-eye coordination nor reflexes required.

To me, an RPG, has always meant the latter (choose [attack, magic, item] from a menu). Wizardry, Bard's Tale (Apple II), FF7 are RPGs. A Link to the Past, Link's Adventure, Breath of the Wild, are not.

I know the letters RPG stand for "Role Playing Game" but if we're going to go down that route, Flight Sim is an RPG. You play the role of an airplane pilot. Mario Tennis, would also be an RPG. you play the role of a cartoon tennis players. GTA5 is an RPG. You play the role of a member of a street gang.

Since we know that's not what people mean when they say RPG, we're still left making sure were discussing comparable games. IMO, Zelda games (nearly all action games) are not comparable to Final Fantasy or other J-RPG games (nearly all select from a menu games). Their similarity is at most, they are set in a middle-earth tolken-esk setting where you fight monsters with swords. But that's clearly not a useful distinction as it would leave out Earthbound or any other RPG not set in a wizards & dragons type of setting.
+1 the UI for the site and app looks top notch. I'm not the target customer so can't really comment from a value perspective, but would use it if I had this kind of need.

A couple of very tiny details on the marketing site:

- The animation below 'struggling with tracking your work hours?' kicks in a bit too late for me, maybe a quirk of browsing fullscreen QHD, but I felt like I was in a kind of no man's land [seeing this](https://imgur.com/a/1mB8d5j). I would start this when the title is at about 50% of the viewport height.

- Logo in the header pixelates a little bit and looks weird, I believe this is a Chrome rendering issue, not sure what the fix might be.
What draconian reason could you possibly have to make the argument that we shouldn't try to give every child an equal opportunity for a high quality education?

Opportunity, sure. But an opportunity to get a good education is not the same as actually getting good education. Because every child is different and we want to spend a lot more efforts to educate a child who shows genius level potential than on a child who has zero interest in anything. This is assuming limited educational resources - an assumption challenged by AI education initiatives.

If I have two sons, and one is bright and curious and hard working, while another is dim and lazy, the first one will get 95% of my attention.
Oh thanks, that is super helpful to keep my state if I accidentally hit fn-f1 which the manufacturer hardcoded to sleep. One likely blocker is that I think restart also crashes my wireless card. Maybe hibernate will work.

Going to test this tonight.

Ok, if there were glasses I could put on that would in AR show me where everything I have is from the last time I put it down, as an ADHDer that would be a gamechanger. But, I also have zero faith in tech companies letting anything of that sort be private.
I disagree.

I always love seeing modern technology on old hardware. The Dreamcast was an amazing machine in a beautiful form factor.
For most people, it's also not just the technique (and, to a lesser degree, gear), it's also the sheer number of fresh ingredients often required. Desserts may actually lean more towards technique/time and less towards ingredients. I took a croissant class and produced at least serviceable croissants (with a chef correcting things here and there). But much as I like a hard to source fresh croissant I'm not going to routinely spend half a day making a batch.
I don't expect slam dunk evidence and that'd be an absurd projection onto anybody familiar with the paleontological record.

I do, perhaps foolishly, expect articles in the science domain, even if PopSci, to not behave as if a single recent paper in a field is the only paper of note and one that definitively sews up an ongoing debate.

I'd hope such an article would at least mention other equally recent papers that have both parallel and opposing views.
What are you precisely trying to measure? Theoretically if you know the performance counters you want to measure, you can replace the IPC counter in the kernel module. I believe Dick has a different version of the kernel module which measure LLC misses instead of CPU cycles. Does that answer your question?
Nit: you’re replying to what “should be” with what is. Those two concepts are not the same. Our property-tax-based educational funding system is widely seen as a tragedy.
You keep posting this over and over. So what? Is it supposed the be okay because Google does it too?
Well 'ack' is even shorter, and the common form of 'ACKNOWLEDGED' for such use. I've seen & used both ack & wilco in a technical/software chat context.
I disagree. I'm typing this on a nice Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 and though it's quite nice and well-built, it's the worst computer I've bought in decades, because it's stupidly designed: It's got all the compromises of a tablet, but is too heavy and thick to really be used as one. The pen is marginal (and there's no way to carry it with the laptop except in a pocket!), and it gets way hotter than any of my Surfaces have.

It was clearly designed to be used as a laptop, and never really as a tablet. This shows in myriad ways, from being uncomfortable to hold as a tablet (though its rounded edges are infinitely better than the Surface Studio Laptop's razor-sharp edges (which really can cut you when holding it as a tablet!), to there being NO GOOD WAY to adjust volume without opening it back up to get to the keyboard!

To be fair, half of what I hate about the Yoga is Win11. I'm definitely moving to a Linux desktop next time, if that's viable. The Starlabs StarLite would be perfect if I could get it with 32-64 GB of RAM and a fast ARM processor like the one used in the new Surface Pro
Due to the WTFPL having no restrictions it seems like it would be functionally identical to MIT-0 or BSD-0, as it wouldn't require attribution or a copy of the copyright/permission notice. It's about as close as one can get to public domain without being public domain.
The idea was to not use direct measures of time to estimate because someone above you will start assuming those estimates are promises and then life gets unpleasant.

Story points, much as I personally dislike them, were invented for developer defense.
> Cloud cannot be beaten on compute / price

Sorry, I can't let misinformation like that slide.

Cloud cost/benefit ratio is not good in many circumstances.

For hobbyists it works well because you run your job for very brief periods and renting is much cheaper than buying in those cases. Similarly, if your business usage is so low as to be effectively run once per day then cloud has major benefits.

However, if you are doing any kind of work that consumes more than 8hrs of computer time in a day, cloud is going to start being much more expensive.

The exact cost/benefit depends on the SKU and I'm mostly talking about CPU/Memory/Storage- for managed services like databases it's significantly worse, and I'm comparing to rented servers not self-hosting at home, which is significantly cheaper still.

Local hardware has downsides (availability, inflexibility), but it's faster and cheaper in almost all real workload scenarios where the compute would otherwise be completely idle/turned off >90% of the time.
> Several of which have pronounced associated negatives (see, e.g., Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me (2004).

There may be associated negatives, but Super Size Me is a terrible piece of evidence of it. Spurlock not only intentionally ate far more than any normal person would, but also declined to mention in the movie his copious alcohol consumption. (Not that I expect someone to admit to their alcoholism in a movie, but when you're making a polemic about how what you consume is bad for you, not mentioning that you're drinking a lot of alcohol during the same period isn't great!)
The boundary between curiosity and stupidity is fractal.
My gut reaction is that independent of the quality of this product, $30 is easily spent on lunch for 1 in many places. I would like to see more developers willing to pay for tools that they benefit from using. Since we generally don't culturally, it is very difficult to make it as an independent developer which has many unfortunate consequences.
I eagerly await your proposal on how to undo arbitrary cli commands.
Thank you. I didn't always like Shakespeare, but exactly 25 years ago next week I founded a Shakespeare theater troupe. (Unimaginatively called the Rude Mechanicals, a very popular name. But since I nabbed rudemechanicals.com, I get a lot of their email.)

Our quarter century anniversary is in a week. We've done every Shakespeare play. Even the really bad ones. Especially the really bad ones. Often they are the most successful, because we can find great things nobody has ever seen before.
I assume you didn't mean to share a localhost link :)
The physics professor AI wouldn't have to solve novel problems in physics, it just has to be able to remove the confusion of physics undergrads.
Uh buddy you linked to localhost:3000.
Aren’t they already both those things?

I know it’s not entirely the language that we speak but it’s still intuitively understandable. Sometimes maybe you have to let it work on you a bit and sometimes it’s Shakespeare’s brilliance in his word playing / metaphor, and other times it’s just a different way of expressing than we use today.

Some strange words and phrases are normally footnotes to add to the enjoyment heh :)
Exactly... so, you prevent the schools from telling them in the moment. The kid knows best how and when to navigate that, not the school.
Your comment hasn't clarified this for me =\
Would be a great way to tell someone to "fuck off" lol.
Run the code backwards!
> I would venture most industries, with foundations on other research fields, are likely the same.

"Industries" is a key word though. Academic research, though hardly without its own major problems, doesn't have the same set of corrupting incentives. Although the lines are blurred, one kind of research shouldn't be confused with another. I do think it's exactly right to think of AI researchers the same way we think of R&D people in oil & gas, not the same way we think of algebraic topologists.
What makes 3:2 particularly good?
Interesting that the last digit isn't rounded.

I've always seen calculators render pi as "3.1415927" on 8-digit displays, and "3.141592654" on 10-digit displays.

I don't recall playing math games to determine whether the internal representations were higher precision than rendered. Alas, wasted youth.
Double down and do Pericles, which has actual pirates.

> Seems a good solution for sharing those dark arts folks tend to build up over time

This is one of the things I most _dislike_ about it. Don't incentivize hording those useful tools in yet-another-silo, get them out into a shared code package!
It is pretty painfully obvious that the author has very little concept of the power politics that shaped the whole world from time immemorial up to the usa taking over world defense and homogenizing the glove through relatively ubrestricted trade post wwii. Thus we get a completely unworkable pie in the sky article that will never happen.
Static IP is cheap.
They don’t go above a gigabit, but other than that it all good.

> The company has been party to multiple lawsuits related to sexual harassment, assault and workplace injury/death and the ability to try cases in a more friendly environment will make it easier to encourage employees to optimize productivity.

Instead of fixing our culture, less move to a place where committing sexual harassment is "not that much of a problem" ... lol
Similarly, is there a way to use it with Kate or Sublime Text?
Story points are primarily a social tool - senior management politics requires that something gets measured; story points make them happy and provide a quantitative way of communicating with the rest of the business. Until we come up with a way of measuring programmer productivity - which is not a queue - there is hard to improve on using story points.
If you mean when their tortured I thought the consensus was that everyone talked under sufficient torture and the actual problem was determine fiction from reality.
Same way that throughput and latency is different. You can use it to predict what the team can deliver in a quarter for example. But difficult to give ETAs to individual stakeholders.
Does anyone expect LLMs to be good at tutoring? Like, sure, if you prompt them to talk like a tutor they generate text that looks convincing. But they spew nonsense and you need a subject matter expert to know when they've gone off the rails. And it's really easy to get factually incorrect information from LLMs. Students are uniquely unequiped to act as that SME as they don't have the knowledge yet. I haven't even seen LLMs add numbers reliably. I don't get this idea.
if we’re talking individual subscriptions that’s ~1M paying subscribers. honestly that number would not totally shock me?

plus they’ve got some kinda enterprise/team offering; assuming they charge extra there, I could easily see $100M ARR

but that’s pure conjecture, and generous at that; I don’t think we have any hard numbers
Updating it wouldn't eliminate the original. It would simply give many people an accessible introduction to the work, and perhaps inspire them to explore the original. I really don't understand the resistance to providing people with that introduction.

But almost nobody on the internet wants to pay for anything. That’s the problem, hence all of the shenanigans around monetization.
Paragraph 182:

> I do not consider a notice on his website on its own to be adequate, since his primary mode of communication to those interested appears to be via X / Twitter or via his Slack channels. So I will order the publication of an amended version of the notice sought by COPA (to reflect the injunctions I am granting) on the homepage of his website (i.e. not merely by way of a link) for a period of six months and of the same amended notice pinned on his X / Twitter feed and on all Slack channels for a period of 3 months.

First ever legally compelled pinned tweet? I guess this way there's no "tweeting through it". It doesn't appear he's complied with this yet.
Andrej Karpathy (the one behind the OP project) has been in both academia & industry, he's far more than a researcher, he also teaches and builds products
Well, actually Apple is doing something similar, and it's opt-in.

If you have a contact, they are in their settings, and they're nearby and they can see your wifi network, a prompt will appear on your phone which asks if you would like to share wifi credentials with them.

There's some foolery going on to stop it popping up if you're using the device normally, like you have to be in settings or the home screen - or recently unlock your phone or something... But it's very explicitly: opt-in.
There is Capella which is a tool (software) and method to design systems. It used the Arcadia method (mbse). It is quite extensible.

I don't understand how you can write an article about system design without mention to enterprise architect or Capella. I've read this as "we need to come up with a solution that already exists".
I didn't think so either.

But it's Karphathy... and he's way smarter than I am.
Uh, I think just having a clear record of what I did when is helpful. It also is motivating to me, I want to close out items not just write that I started something. I sometimes also put in a todo there if there is just something small at the top of the stack I want to do tomorrow. I'll see the todo there and deal with it first.
Probably the required accuracy. VOR is on the order of a degree for accuracy. DME is around 0.1nm. So if you’re 50nm from the VOR, then you may have a position fix error of 0.87nm across the radial, if I did my math right.
Are you arguing some stuff is un-teachable or that some stuff is human teachable and not AI teachable.

If the former, how are people learning unteachable moments right now.
It actually works very well. Phones/tablets are now more capable than many PCs/Macs. When you've literally got more compute power, RAM, storage, and network bandwidth than supercomputer centers had 15-20 years ago in a phone or tablet-sized package, all you really need is a nice dock to plug it into for display (I'll take a 42" multitouch/pen setup like the Surface Studio, please), keyboard, mouse, and network.

BTW, I've done exactly this daily with the only slightly larger Surface Pros and docks for over a decade, so the concept definitely works, and there are probably millions of people using it, contrary to your assertion.

It's a very small step from doing that with a PC or tablet to doing that with a folding phone design, and there are a few such solutions like that today. (Though they should run the same OS/interface, just morphed slightly for the hardware that's active.)

After having this setup, I will never, ever, go back to an old caveman laptop or desktop computer.
The Dreamcast was such a great console that was the ultimate hackable piece of hardware for a kid. Super interesting why it didn't become bigger.

New AI Calendar Assistant to Replace Your EA

it's the consensus of people that use both that claude.ai is superior for practical use despite benchmark results which are mostly one-shot based prompts.
It's not so hard to do static and tracing-based analysis to capture all the calls that various systems make between themselves. Similarly, it's not so hard to graph all of the metrics of a system.

That's not really all that useful. Diagrams, like other forms of documentation, are a format for communicating something to the reader. It means that they should spend more space on the important flows rather than the exceptional ones. They'll explain the meaningful parts of a sequence rather than just giving a series of function calls. The various tools we have for doing this (boxes showing what systems talk to what, sequence diagrams, database schema diagrams) provide a rich enough language for that communication.

Death star diagrams are bad because they spend a bunch of time and effort to convey one piece of information: "there are a lot of systems here" rather than anything actually useful for someone attempting to navigate a specific part of the system.
The reverse would be helpful. I was just talking with my friend about that. Like you can't just be like "hey can you be a little less autistic/focus better/be less erratic today?"
I know way too many with the title "senior" in their technical role title who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Well, they think they know, but they are less technically competent that your average CS graduate.
