People want to sell themselves. But in the stiff competition the way to remain in the race is by lowering their price (value), and so they easily get far from this (where thoughts could be exchanged with value produced): https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3bdb31644d5f165aa6342...

Concerning LinkedIn I lower the ammount I believe the way and extent it is told.
Doping as table stakes is understandable. Money too, after a while. But I genuinely wonder how an athlete who put a motor in their bike and then accepted the resulting victory would feel about themselves as a competitor and a person. If they were stoked then by all means go for it, but in that case they must have a different psyche than I do.
Even worse, at least aesthetically, than the AV is the pacct stuff to log 1 line for every single syscall. Talk about sublinear scaling. And for what, no one can say.

Actually, even worse than that was we had to install AV on all the images that the ephemeral map-reduce/Hadoop clusters we spun up, but the way the AV stuff worked, the computes were gone by the time the registration for the new compute had gone thru whole process. And, in AWS accounts where there were maybe 63 IPs and say 600 EC2s/day they used IP as the primary key for the "list of compute in the VPC." So they stitched together totally unrelated stuff as if it was the same continuous compute. I guess it would be eventually fixed, but the bad security data was not a real concern of the devops team that was building out stuff as rapidly as possible, nor were the EC2 made in a sealed off VPC and only lived for a few tens of minutes or hours at best a serious security concern to the actual security people. Just a check list solution hitting a novel environment.
You're insufferable...
I can't take the US cracking down on Chinese intellectual property theft seriously when we've been moving all of our manufacturing to China since the 1990s with the full help and support of the US government. There's nothing a random researcher could steal that could do a fraction of the amount of damage that that economic policy did to the US economy and society.
> I learned from a recruiter years ago that the most valuable part of your LI profile is … your connections number.

How long ago was this? I’ve been talking to lots of recruiters and the most common points I hear are

- add every skill

- keywords in your descriptions so you show up in searches

- gaps and job tenure

Remote jobs apparently get a ton of fake candidates so some recruiters have started checking for verification and profile age as additional signals.
You mean this one? Nope, still a cluster.

"We don't talk about the Tesla Semi".

> Preparation of Semi factory continues and is on track to begin production by end of 2025.

Okay. That's why you've delivered 36 of the 100 units that were scheduled for seven years ago (2017), and none since then, which is why PepsiCo, Sysco, UPS and Walmart have all since terminated their agreements.

But it's "on track". Sure.

Last time Musk tried to throw out an excuse for this, it wasn't production capacity, it was "battery availability". Meanwhile:

> In Q2, we produced over 50% more 4680 cells than in Q1 and continued to see cost improvements.

> Both Megapack and Powerwall achieved record deployment in Q2, resulting in 9.4 GWh of total storage deployments. Overall, the Energy business achieved record revenues and gross profit in Q2.

"We're breaking so many records in battery availability and production capacity, you guys! We just haven't been able to make any for the Semi in seven years."
They block it outright, even when the purpose is innocent (sensitive documents). Tried with rar and 7-zip.
They also reap the benefits of AI researchers across the world using Llama as a base. All their research is immediately applicable to their models. It's also likely a strategic decision to reduce the moat OpenAI is building around itself.

I also think LeCunn opposes OpenAI's gatekeeping at a philosophical/political level. He's using his position to strengthen open-source AI. Sure, there's strategic business considerations, but I wouldn't rule out principled motivations too.
If BTreeMap is insufficient, and you're talking about cache-efficiency or SIMD, you probably can't use anything off-the-shelf. To design the right thing for your use case, it would help to know more about your workload.

BTreeMap should be nearly optimal, up to fiddling with the layout, changing the number of entries stored in one node, and vectorizing your within-node query function.

For people who need to store sorted sparse records and have memory to spare, or who know the keys of their sorted sparse records take on few values (like only a few million?), they can use a robinhood hash table without any hash function. The whole thing may not fit in a relevant cache, but you generally won't hit more than 1 cache line for the types of queries described. Again, I can't really recommend a library, but it's pretty easy to write this yourself.

Edit: Here's a link to one robinhood hash table: https://github.com/dendibakh/perf-challenge6/blob/Solution_R...

For queries like "next/previous free interval with length at least K", scanning within the appropriate level of a Fenwick tree may be better than scanning within a list of occupied intervals. Maybe you could use a layout that keeps all the entries for a level together, rather than the usual layout that mixes in less useful information and puts useful information powers-of-2 apart just to make the cache behavior as bad as possible. For example, if you have K=100, then you could look in the level that has sums of runs of 64. It's necessary but not sufficient to see 2 consecutive entries with at most 28 missing or 3 consecutive entries with at most 92 missing and the middle entry completely empty. Generalizing to arbitrary K is left as an exercise for the reader.

Doping is usually in reference to banned substances. But huffing CO genuinely seems completely out of left field of any rules that I know. They probably will ban it, but before they do is it correct to call it doping?

Most of this is pretty useful for reproducing a wide gamut of human language. It gets completely fucked when it comes to fonts with png's embedded in svg's and other INSANE matryoshka doll nesting of bitmap/vector rendering technologies.

I also half hate emoji as it pollutes human writable text with bitmaps that are difficult to reproduce by hand on paper with a writing instrument - it's not text. I say half hate as it allows us a standard set of icons to use that can be easily rendered in-line with text or on their own.
Bureaucracy is universal. American issues arise from the idea that public transit is for the poor, and from the loss of expertise.

If you want good transit, it must be for the people who vote. Otherwise they will vote to make it bad to save tax money. Branding public transit as the affordable option is a guaranteed recipe for failure.

Transit projects must also be small enough that the entity responsible for them always has several projects running in parallel. Once you stop building, you will quickly lose expertise, and subsequent projects will be more difficult and more expensive.

Yeah, probably, but does that happen elsewhere in the Olympics?

Yes, sailing. I believe all but Formula Kite are one-design classes (Laser, Laser Radial, IQFoil, Nacra 17, 49er, and 470). A few have options between licensed manufacturer (but to same spec) and a few are true one-make (Laser, Laser Radial), not sure about the others.
The idea is that different equipment is better suited for different individuals. By mandating a specific kind of equipment for all athletes, you'd be benefiting some individuals over others.

For example, road bikes have different frame shapes that are suitable depending on your torso length compared to leg length.

Of course, the natural next step would be allow some flexibility (different frame size but same material), but you can see how that could be a slippery slope of legislation and lobbying that would end up in a similar situation to where we are today?

One problem is the base assumption that “desirable” communities exist, ex-nihilo.

They are made, and maintained by the people in them.

Move 100 good families into a wasteland, and in a few years you’ll have a “desirable community“. Eject wastrels from a community, and you’ll get a “desirable community”. And, no: race, sex, religion doesn’t appear to have anything to do with it. Good people love other people and like to learn and help; bad people hate you and everyone else and don’t like helping.

Why not let people live with people who love and learn from others? And who love to help mentor others who choose to want the same things into their community?

Unfortunately, it appears most regulation is bent on preventing this from happening. Because it’s unfair or something. And other regulations prevent good people from mentoring people who’d like to be good. Again, unfair something something…

Problem is: allowing wastrels to run rampant without restraint hurts them, more than anyone else (who just leave). It’s harming them to continue supporting their bad choices beliefs and behavior, rather than being forced (by results) to ask for help.

How does that make sense? Yet, here we are — a million square km of beautiful land suitable for living here in Canada, and we can’t decide to build a community due to government regulation (that isn’t predestined by design to become a slum).

And before you explode in self-righteous fury, ask yourself:

Where would I want to live in my elderly years — and exactly who built and maintains that community?

The answer won’t be who you think it should be…

QED.
This really means very little though. Every private startup will tell you they’re 2 years out from IPO if you interview. And it’s common for employee equity to get massively diluted on the path to acquisition/IPO.

> UseMemo should not be used for fetching/kicking off a fetch either

Wrong. That's just like, your opinion.

The best time to kick off external calls is during first render, not after the component is mounted and React has gotten around to calling your useEffect callback.

useMemo can be a part of the solution along with useRef and useEffect cleanup(remember it's essentially to the unmount lifecycle hook as well).
To build (more of) a subway, you need density and wealth. So NYC or Shanghai or Moscow have extensive subway systems and keep extending them. OTOH Houston does not (lacks density), and Kinshasa does not (lacks wealth).
Even if it's just open weights and not "true" open source, I'll still give Meta the appreciation of being one of the few big AI companies actually committed to open models. In an ecosystem where groups like Anthropic and OpenAI keep hemming and hawing about safety and the necessity of closed AI systems "for our sake", they stand out among the rest.
That actually points to the problem I have with it. I don't think many jazz lovers would balk at reference to a performance as a "jazz performance" without a specification of which one of its subvariants (which by the way are far less numerous than EDM - compare here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_jazz_genres, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_music_genre...).
But in my experience, electronic music fans quite often feel compelled to endlessly nitpick over which subgenre some (almost always) 4/4, uptempo, 4 minute track belongs to.

Great article! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I noticed a couple details that seem wrong:

- You are passing `context` to `log_then_get` and `get`, but you never use it. Perhaps that is left over from a previous version of the post?

- In the fiber example you do this inside each fiber:

responses << log_then_get(URI(url), Fiber.current)

and this outside each fiber:

responses << get_http_fiber(...)

Something is not right there. It raised a few questions for me:

- Doesn't this leave `responses` with 8 elements instead of 4?

- What does `Fiber.schedule` return anyway? At best it can only be something like a promise, right? It can't be the result of the block. I don't see the answer in the docs: https://ruby-doc.org/3.3.4/Fiber.html#method-c-schedule

- When each fiber internally appends to `responses`, it is asynchronous, so are there concurrency problems? Array is not thread-safe I believe. So with fibers is this safe? If so, how/why? (I assume the answer is "because we are using a single-threaded scheduler", but that would be interesting to put in the post.)
There is another reason. Russians saw rebuilding Warsaw as a way to rebuild Polish national identity after the ravages of WWII and the severe redrawing of the borders. It was a way to make Poles warm up to the Russian rule over the country. In Germany, Russians had no such sophisticated thoughts, they literally raped and pillaged their part of the country and if Germans wanted to protest they'd be reminded that it was Germany who started WWII. Quite honestly, after what Germans did to Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe, there is zero sympathy for what happened to them during WWII or afterwards.

One correction I want to make on the point of slavery: slavery as practiced in the antebellum South through the end of the Civil War is gone.

Slavery is very much an alive and active albeit illegal in most parts of the world trade, and the global slave trade today is larger than the Trans-Atlantic slave trade was at its peak. The United States is still very active in combatting slavery and the slave trade, usually under the polite euphemism of “human trafficking”.

Appointing Justices is far more of an issue now than it ever was back then where it was a rather inglorious business-as-usual position. It had become more important even before then, but it really became an issue in the popular-consciousness after Roe v. Wade and every single confirmation process between Roe and Dobbs was mired in it. We’ve had only one confirmation since then, so I guess it is too soon to say whether how much it will continue to affect the confirmation hearings.

I also forgot to mention the Barbary Wars, and I actually just watched a video about it yesterday from The Fat Electrician: https://youtu.be/lcJhmm3D3OY

Shoes had a similar issue when Nike released their first modern super-shoe (Vaporfly, IIRC). The track and field body had to limit shoe sole height and the other brands had a lot of catch-up to do.

The US military has a long history of making technically true statements about it's weapons, but which are still misleading.

If a bomb can actually rip through 200 meters of cement and ground, then the 60 meter statement is also true.

It also has a history of revealing the actual limits of weapons systems, but only after better capabilities exist (with the limits of those still classified or understated) - that is the 60M limit was the max of the old bomb and they don't need to know about the new one.

Start but not claiming it's yubikey-based, and instead phrase your product in terms of what category of dependency it has. You built a product that's secured by means of a username, password, and hardware authentication code. Yubikeys are an obvious example of the kind of hardware authenticator that works with, but that's just an example. At no point is your product locked into yubikey as authenticator.

Even if it's the hardware authenticator your product currently works with.

Don't market it on current specifics; anyone not using a yubikey (personally or organisationally) will dismiss your product and never look at it again if you tie it to one specific third party vendor.
