For the posterity, I've managed to make Blitzping much faster: on the ARMv8-A device, it went from ~10.5 MiB/s to ~120 MiB/s. Instead of sendto(), I used a single connect() call to bind the raw socket to its destination, and then I used writev() calls to "queue" many packets for sending. Internally, writev() [and its other counterpart, sendmmsg()] still uses the same for-loop'ing mechanism to iterate through its queue, but said loop would exist in kernelspace, requiring less userspace->kernelspace syscalls to accomplish the same goal.

Don't encourage me, encourage the researchers. It's a well established opinion that the so called viking-age was from around 789 (Lindisfarne raid) to 1066 (Harald loses England).

As far as I know 486 predicted all branches as not taken, so it would fetch and decide instructions after a branche and throw that away when the speculation was proven wrong.

It's not the job of the LLM to run the code... if you ask it to run the code, it will just do its best approximation at giving you a result similar to what the code seems to be doing. It's not actually running it.

Just like Dall-E is not layering coats of pain to make a watercolor... it just makes something that looks like one.

Your LLM (or you) should run the code in a code interpretor. Which ChatGPT did because it has access to tools. Your local ones don't.
Yeah, you can just stop salary sacrifice if you need the bigger effective income. Although many companies lock you in to it on a yearly basis, so you have to plan ahead a bit.

Your gross (pre tax) income is exactly what has been reduced too. So if you are sacrificing 10%, your gross is 10% lower too.
Isn't Apple running that store for a reason? Maybe to sell something, I would imagine. They should be opposed to closing it for that reason.

Of course, that's assuming the main activity of a business is to make and sell things. Could be a wrong assumption.
Unless there is a paper trail like email from an exec saying something like "we need to close this store as an example because they unionize", then there is no way to prove wrongdoing.

This is a company with hundreds of thousands of people. I work in several ones. It is very hard to do this kind of things. If you do, there will be paper trail because you would need to get consensus from others.

If store is unprofitable, then they would just use that reason.

If the store is unionised and profitable, why would apple even close it?
> you want actual non-revocable ownership now. Be entered on the list of shareholders.

Yup. Wish I (and a lot of my ex colleagues) knew that and didn't accept below market salaries with those ESOPs.

We got ESOPs from a USA startup which has an India office (and subsidiary which employed us) and was laid off from the company. A colleague (was laid off) tried to sell it outside and was blocked by startup lawyer. Very soon those ESOPs will expire/lapse (not sure that's the term) if not exercised. Most of us (actually none of us) can reasonably exercise that. Even at that low "strike price" that was offered to us the cost to company alone will be more than 2 years' salary of most of us (for some even more) and then the income tax (and then maybe capital gains tax) will hit us which might actually be more than that strike price amount. It's in USD and we earn/earned in INR - almost ~85x difference as of now (notionally speaking).

The startup doesn't offer to buy it themselves either. They never did. I stayed there for two years and others stayed for 4-5-6 years and they don't allow us to sell it in secondary market either. So yeah, it's lost. Even if we want to, we can't exercise - we simply can't afford it.

So yes, you are so right!

The analogy is a bit hyperbolic but not off base at all.

In my field, there is a lot of discussion over whether conferences should go virtual to ensure "equity", "inclusion", and all that; and to save pollution and CO2 from plane travel. According to the defenders of that take, current technology makes meeting in person totally unnecessary and online conferences can replace physical ones just fine. But curiously enough, everyone who I've seen defend that position are at elite universities in places like California where they have a high concentration of top figures in the field within a short drive. Almost no one from more remote areas (like myself) defends that... largely because many of us have stories where those polluting plane tickets helped us connect with relevant people in the field, learn and boost our career.

But back to the marriage analogy... when those people from top universities make that comment, I usually tell them that if they are so interested in equity, diversity, not polluting and all that jazz, and since according to them online interaction is enough and getting together physically is just a luxury, they should then take remote PhD students (which would even let them select from a larger pool!). It's an obvious conclusion of their position, right?

The answer is always crickets.

that’s the governments in the EU deflecting blame and not admitting they messed up telling people to stay home, in some countries up to a year, and then paying those people to stay home (literally money printing) that it had no direct influence on inflation or wasa primary driver of it.

I mean you’d have to be completely stupid to believe that what they did had no impact on inflation.

> I disagree. I’ve been using IntelliJ for a few years now, and the new, simplified interface has made my experience a lot better.

I work on a bunch of enterprise projects and therefore am sticking with the old design, because having more features available at a glance while also fitting as much of the code on screen as possible is definitely nice to have, in addition to my already established habits and knowledge of the UI.

But the new UI? It's also really sleek and pleasant, and a joy to use in the cases where I've toggled over to it. Plus, the fact that they worked on adding a compact mode to the new UI is also great to see! Definitely a good experience in my eyes.

I think the trick is in giving the user the choice on what to use, if there's no horrible incompatibility between the various iterations of something. For example, the day when the old Reddit UI (old.reddit.com) stops working is also the day when a bunch of people will stop hanging around the place. The problem is that companies often find the additional support needed to be a hassle and just optimize for the majority of users, not all of them - much the same how many games out there don't even have a Linux or Mac release, even in cases where the popular game engines make having one pretty easy!

The parent comment above yours is perhaps a bit more mean than it should be, though.
1. I don't think that is a meta-study. It seems to be an attempt to build a dataset to track US union membership over long timeframes.

2. It notes that there is a correlation between union membership and inequality. Which is interesting but not that powerful - correlation is not causation. It might be that both trends are being driven by the financialisation of the US economy.

3. It finds that union households earn a premium over non-union households. Again, because of the nature of the study that doesn't tell us much about the impacts of unions. As an analogy, we might find that HN commentators earn more than non-HN commentators in the tech industry but that doesn't indicate that HN is pushing salaries up.

Although in fairness I would suspect there probably is a causal element. But I still don't want to be in a unionised industry. I don't want a premium over other tech workers. I want to maximise the average tech worker salary and then be employed in tech. Those are very different objectives and require different strategies to achieve.

Pro-union types tend to have a very short term view of the world and aren't about maximising long term returns. Strikes and collective bargaining don't move the needle in the right direction over the long term.
Can you provide some examples? At least from my point of view, Rails’s power comes from its opinionated convention over configuration approach and its batteries-included philosophy.

"Bail out" to me implies that things were good, then went bad, but could be made good again (at someone else's expense).

This feels like "speculation" or "gambling" rather than bailing out.

I did not know that. But I was told primary school is not only to teach the basics, but also (and even more important) to start forming social individuals to form a society. That is one of the reasons primary school is (typically) compulsory, presencial, and the based in groups that grow together for some years. Also is part of the primary school teaching respect for the Flag, the history and heros, anthem, etc. also patriotic holidays, like independence day, imply special works for the kids, actuation and what not. They have to learn to live their country.
Lead was added to gasoline since the 1920s. The first clinical studies that showed it was toxic were in 1969. The first country to ban it completely was Japan in 1986 and the last was Algeria in 2021. For more than a decade, people could have made a similar claim to yours, "if such an effect were true, we would have banned it already". And they would have been wrong, the effect was true.
In sum, the effect is explained by scheduling easy-to-judge cases to the time limited AM session, and the complex cases to the longer PM session.
It's definitely controversial and in the short term it's probably dwarfed by other factors (velocity of money and external factors), but it stands to reason that if M1 increases by 300% while population remains roughly static and GDP increases by 50%, in the long run there will be inflation.

If tripling the amount of base money has no effect then logically destroying 70% of the base money would also have no effect, but I never see people advocating that

I'm going to be transparent, when I read your post I assumed it was a dismissal that's a bit too shallow. Having read the article and taken the test, both sound uncomfortably like the writer has some sort of disordered thinking (e.g. has been really hitting the amphetamines). It's a little unhinged.

But as with all personality tests, it's fun to take. As with all such tests, the things they say are general enough that they apply to most people relatively well. It's like reading a horoscope - meant to entertain. The meaning ascribed to it in the article this post references is not something I could find.
> Your gross (pre tax) income is exactly what has been reduced too. So if you are sacrificing 10%, your gross is 10% lower too.

But it's not reduced, though, is it? If someone who isn't the tax office asks for my gross revenue I'll tell them what the gross amount that goes into my assets is. They don't ask "what's your gross income for tax purposes?"
It doesn't look like LLMS supports VST3 [1], but we had a report of the Bitwig Linux version looking for a VST3 bundle, the new recommended format, instead of a single library file with a ".vst3" extension, so of I'm wrong the issue could be that as well.

I'm launching a course that enables non-developers to create their own software solutions using AI and a structured framework. Key points:

- Participants learn to develop web apps, mobile apps, or backend systems

- Choice of using AI or traditional coding approaches

- Deployment options include cloud or on-premises

- The framework is designed to put non-techies in the driver's seat of development

- First batch includes personal mentoring sessions

As software development becomes more accessible through natural language interfaces, this course aims to prepare individuals and businesses for this shift. It's designed to accelerate both corporate and entrepreneurial careers by reducing reliance on external consultancies.

I'm happy to answer any questions about the methodology or the potential impact of democratizing software development.

I was lucky to meet this giraffe and its creator in 2016. It’s quite impressive and clearly a labor of love. Has strong home garage hacker vibes. The creator was excited to show us around and answered any technical questions we had.

One aspect which stood out was that the head and other parts had touch sensitive “pet” detector cells each of which consisted a short, inch wide plastic flap connected at its base to some internal circuitry and held out from the base at a slight angle to resemble a sort of robotic fur equivalent. When you brushed your hand on them, the giraffe reacted and either nuzzled its head a bit, made some sounds, etc

Anyway I only briefly browsed the site so I’m not sure if he goes into more detail there. It’s cool to see this blast from the past and I wonder what the creator is up to nowadays.

I'm intrigued by the analysis of emotions and dualities and priorities. (I didn't understand the concept of "beats", but maybe I would if I read it again.) I strongly affirm the framing that "all emotions [even the strong, 'negative' ones, like anger and disgust] have value".

I didn't think much of the outcome of the quiz. I answered honestly, and was assigned "Dragon Slayer" (interestingly, like the author of this post). I plausibly recognized myself in most of the descriptions. Then I clicked on the "random" button, and read another breakdown of another personality type. I plausibly recognized myself in most of those descriptions, too.

I think this trades on the technique that makes horoscopes and tarot readings attractive: write gnomically, and positively, and your audience will fill in enough blanks to make anything plausibly applicable to themselves.

But, maybe that's just my analytical Dragon Slayer archetype talking. :-)

I'm happy for anyone who derives psychologically-useful insights out of this framework.
