I have not navigated a similar transition, but I have studied CS and read tons of business books.

I think if you do this and take the development seriously, it will be a ridiculous good return on investment. The success to Tencent according Mohnish Pabrai was that they had ROI on their developers over 10 years. They just put everything they could in development and if it was too much they would spend the rest on lower ROI categories. Overall 50% ROI. (IIRC).

It’s also essentially vertical integration if you do this. If you think it can make your beer taste nicer, as Jeff Bezos put it, then it’s probably worth it. Note that Amazon’s in-house team spawned a new industry. Also, Tesla is currently much ahead on competitors due to their software. I think many car manufacturers underestimate how much Tesla is ahead. The apparently even have their own ERP system called Tesla OS.

For attracting and retaining, I think you can definitely do it. There are engineers who like to see physically how their product is being used. Short feedback cycles can be very rewarding. Also, to retain I would look at Napoleon. What is the best for morale? Winning. Give ambitious projects and make them succeed.
But how do you know which bits of information to ignore at the top of the funnel?
The biggest problem I've seen with Intel is that they are "getting high on their own supply" and the whole tech press enables them with the sole exception of Charlie Demerjian.

They should pick a few random people out of the phone book and pay them handsomely for their advice, this way they might start to "see themselves as other see them". Most of all they need to recognize the phenomenon of "brand destruction" which has manifest in clueless campaigns such as "Ultrabooks", brands that should have been killed off years ago ("Celeron", sorry, low performance brands have a shelf life, there's a reason why Honda is still making the Civic but GM is not making the Chevette) and that they should write it in their bylaws that they are getting out of the GPU business permanently (they've made so many awful products it will take 15 years for people to get the idea that an Intel GPU adds value, instead it's this awful thing you have to turn off so that it won't screw up graphics in your web browser when you're using a Discrete GPU.) People might get their heads around the idea that an Intel CPU is a premium brand if it had a GPU chiplet from a reputable manufacturer like AMD or NVIDIA.

(Oddly when Intel has had a truly premium brand, as in SSDs, they've ignored it. Hardly anybody noticed the great 95% latency performance that of Intel SSDs because hardly anybody realizes that 95% latency is what you feel when your computer feels slow. Intel SSDs were one Intel product that I would seek out by name, at least until they sold their SSD division. Most people who've run a lot of Intel SSDs swear by them.)
Researchers are today, right now, this very second downloading genetic information from those databases and using it to understand and develop cures for diseases. The vast libraries of information, coupled with health and demographic data, are changing the way science is done.

There is also a chance, however small, that a genealogical genetic match to me will lead to one of my trashy drug-addicted relatives going to jail for rape.

>literally being falsely imprisoned or executed is an actual, real world risk, that people have actually experienced

The article you yourself linked to, which I read every word of, contains no examples of people "literally being falsely imprisoned or executed".

Eyewitness testimony can lead to false imprisonment-- is the solution to ban eyewitness testimony?

Finding a suspect's fingerprint at a scene can lead to false imprisonment-- is the solution to ban fingerprints?

DNA evidence is only a single link in a long chain and has all of the benefits and drawbacks of fingerprints, eyewitness testimony, and all other forms of evidence. It is no different, despite what crime shows might have you think.

Every time you're feeling stressed out about the jackbooted gubmint thugz locking you up if they find your DNA somewhere just repeat to yourself "it's the exact same thing as them finding a fingerprint or CCTV still, just newer".

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury we found the suspect's fingerprints and DNA at the scene, have a CCTV image of him buying the hammer that has his fingerprints and DNA on it, and have three eyewitnesses who saw him enter the scene of the crime right before the murder"

"Throw it all out, it's a conspiracy, a violation of the defendant's rights. That's all faulty evidence fraught with peril and allowing it will destroy democracy and freedom as we know it."
Hey fellow tab hoarder! I "only" have 744 tabs open right now (in Edge). Though chrome, firefox, brave, arc, and supermium have a few hundred each... (they've been force closed by task manager so my laptop still technically runs haha).

It's funny finding fellow tab hoarders online, people rarely hit the thousands - you're pretty much the first person I've encountered who's got more tabs open than me.

Btw what's your PC specs? I'm using a Framework 13 (7840u, 32gb ram) and am currently at 56% RAM usage. I find a fairly big difference when I'm connected to power and when I'm not, for some reason.
Shameless Kagi shill here - the company's leadership is shaky and has a recent tendency to focus dumb AI things, but their core product is 2012 Google. It _feels_ even better than 2012 Google. Combine a quality search engine w/ the fact that I can walk from funding them the moment they look to ads for revenue and I'm a very happy customer.
Why is there a need to do this?
> how it's frequently taught in absence of practical examples

Unfortunately this has been the debate for thousands of years. One of Euclid's students asked him what practical use geometry had. In response, Euclid instructed a servant to give the student a coin, saying, "He must make gain out of what he learns."

Legend aside, I'm actually surprised to see, many times actually, that people on HN criticized the "absence of practical examples". If we compare the textbooks written in the US and those in China or Europe, there's a sharp contrast. The textbooks from the US are thick, full of discussion of motivations and practical examples across multiple domains (Thomas' Calculus, for instance). In contrast, Chinese and European textbooks are terse and much thinner. They focus on proofs and derivations and have only sparse examples.

Personally, maths itself is practical enough. I'd even venture to say that those who can naturally progress to college-level maths should be able appreciate high-school maths for its own sake.
Is acquiring the third party software provider an option? And then staff them with a few more ppl maybe.
That really is my dream. Advertising is a blight on humanity.

Of course, this would break capitalism. We live in a society where the foundation of the economy requires that people keep buying things, even things they don't really need and don't really want.

I happen to think breaking capitalism a bit could be a good thing, but it would likely also cause a period of economic instability that would crush people who are marginal financially.
This reminds me of my playthrough of Arx Fatalis, some years after the game came out. This game is a sort-of love letter to Ultima Underworld and kind-of seems to take place in the same universe as the later game Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

Anyway, I occasionally looked up hints when I got stuck and sometimes really needed them. Towards the end of the game there is a sequence where a werewolf is hunting you and you're forced to a spot where you seemingly must make a very difficult jump over a pit to escape. I couldn't make the jump after tons of tries and the guide had no other hints other than that you had to do so to progress.

Finally I piled some gold bricks I'd been carrying in my inventory forever that had seemingly no purpose on the very ridge of the pit and used them to get just enough of a boost to barely make the jump over the pit. It was weird it even worked.

Later I found out if you ran with vsync off it screwed up your characters momentum in the game and that was why the jump was impossible for me.
Zen 5 is looking really good, you can either get Zen 4 performance for 65/90W or get 20% faster performance for the same power as Zen 4 with PBO.
Increasing complexity makes it harder to brute force hashed and salted passwords from a database. But yes if it is already leaked then you have a problem.

Though I would say that checking against haveIbeenpwnded or another service is a much better mitigation against that.

And 2fa is even better than both.

The truth of the matter is that the owners of most wordpress sites really do not care if it is hacked. Especially if they have a semi decent backup strategy. It is used in so many low stakes deployments that it is kind of silly to force certain levels of security.

Remember it is always about risk/reward. The most secure computer is the least usable one.
For high volume products, given the low cost of this chip, it would make sense to bother with the PIO or it's open-source libraries.
I think most people have that thought, but few act on it. And unfortunately, death is not the only harm that can come from harm's way. Stray bullets can find spines and genitals about as easily as they can find hearts.
> … while global warming was a comparatively distant threat.

Ahhh young folks. Until about the 70s all the media, leading scientist and organisations were concerned about the impending ice age.

So no, people then could not be bothered by the global warming, as they were actively scared of the horrors of the coming ice age.

How times have changed.
Dynamic dispatch adds headaches to the build process; they are surmountable for sure, but in my experience the build wrangling to make it all happen is harder than the original work of rewriting your code with intrinsics!

The other major problem I have with dynamic dispatch, at least for the SIMD code I've written, is that you have to do so at a fairly high level of granularity. Most optimized routines are doing as much fusion & cache tiling as possible and so the dispatch has to happen at the level of the higher-level function rather than the more array-op-like components within it. And mostly, that means you've written your (often quite complicated) procedure several times uniquely instead of simply accelerating components within it.

I have not used Highway - if it dramatically simplifies the above, that's excellent!
The reason the current macro is so complex is because it supports mixed types while avoiding (failing on) integer promotion bugs. A version supporting arguments of all the same type would be just as trivial as in C++ (albeit relying on GCC extensions like statement expressions).
fpses since Call of Duty are a different breed. The Quake skill ceiling...just didn't exist. I'm not sure such a thing is politically correct now in modern games (read okay with management given they want to sell cheap dopamine, not adrenaline)
Arguing for the potential future of young people who won't be born, is a thing that some do.

Not me, I think there's a hyperbolic discount to unwritten futures¹, and that we should live in the present with a view to the foreseeable future — a future which is, IMO, currently "about 5 years"², because there's too many things changing to see further than that anyway.

Perhaps one day things will calm down, and we can be confident of what our experiences will be a millennium into the future; or perhaps that future, being filled by other humans just like ourselves who are themselves all making predictions of what will come, will be inherently chaotic beyond our own ability to forecast.

And a millennium is what you want for starters if you are to explore the stars, as space dust becomes dangerous well before relativity makes a huge difference.

"If you're reading this and thinking to yourself, "What's Of Monsters And Men?" then you've proven my point."

Not proven, sorry. Actually prefer their other tracks, like 'Empire', from the 2nd album.
Yes I’m currently dealing with text that has a line “you will end up with ~2^32 equations and from there it’s just a trivial linear algebra problem” without further guidance (from the general number field seive).

I get that 2^32 simultaneous equations may be a straightforward linear algebra problem but I am now going deep to understand the exact mechanism to solve this.
something like kudo ?
What you're asking for is more or less already a solved problem with a number of different AI tools. Whether it will work with minimal effort on an Evernote account, I'm not sure.
So, you're saying we're actually losing value by training an astronaut, since their talents are not available or elsewhere? Or that astronauts should be chosen from the otherwise useless? Trying to understand here.

I'm sure we can find plenty of low value people to transmute into incredibly valuable secular saints of space. No need to waste the otherwise useful.
They should also be hiring people that can write clearly in their datasheets, but here we are, so...
Others have commented the Rails guides on the official site, a great place to start learning. Learn by doing as well with building something.

The latest stuff in Rails 7 (hotwire/stimulus aka turbo-drive, turbo-frames and turbo-streams) might mean you need very little front-end JS if you don't want to learn a bunch about that. Something worth diving into once you learn basics of Rails.

A lot of the opinionated parts of Rails (convention over configuration) are bike shed discussions with other languages/frameworks. I remember countless debates with co-workers on file structure layout for web apps in the 2000's using Java. So many hours wasted, I'd rather be building something, kinda was the lure that got me to transition to Rails.
FWIW the Pimoroni Tiny 2040 and Tiny 2350 use usb-c, but as mentioned by other commenters, the cost for these usb-c boards is higher.

I love having usb-c on all my modern products, but with so many micro-usb cords sitting around, I don't mind that the official Pico and Pico 2 are micro-usb. At least there are options for whichever port you prefer for the project you're using it in.
You can't have the CUDA substring in the name or anything a court would deem potentially confusing. Even if "CUDA" wasn't registered, using a similar name could be seen as an attempt to pass off the product as affiliated with or endorsed by NVIDIA. The similarity in names could be construed as an attempt to unfairly benefit from NVIDIA's reputation and market position. If the open-source project implements techniques or methods patented by NVIDIA for CUDA, it could face patent infringement claims. If CUDA is considered a famous mark, using a similar name could be seen as diluting its distinctiveness, even if the products aren't directly competing. If domain names similar to CUDA-related domains are registered for the project, this could potentially lead to domain dispute issues. It's a huge can of worms.
I discovered memoryview when looking at the JACK Python library. It is pretty
neat. But also one of those things I wouldn't have known to look for.
It cuts both ways, though :) My son is obsessed with the Switch Zelda games, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. You can save at almost any time, plus the game autosaves constantly. He always tries to pull BUT DAD I GOTTA SAVE GIMME A FEW MORE MINUTES. Sorry bud, I saw the autosave icon pop up 10 seconds ago, you're good.

IMO advertising is worse than fraud. At least with fraud the impact is usually fairly clear, and not buried in our broken, manipulated, subconscious minds.
Very simple: where do the kids go to school or daycare?

Unless you're significantly wealthier than your neighbors, most likely the public school for their grade level closest to your home, which you picked in large part for the quality of the schools.

And who is, in the end, the parent usually taking children to school and picking them up, and dashing over to pick them up if they get sick or injured?

The mothers.

For younger children, daycare arrangements were made based on where the primary caregiver (usually, mother) plans to work.

When that plan all of the sudden becomes "compulsory hybrid", you can't just split the kid's time between two daycares - in a lot of places, just getting that first slot was hard and expensive enough.

There's the simple fact that the daycare near your house might not open early enough or stay open late enough to accomodate your commute. Plus, I kind of want to do more with my little kid during the week than get him ready for daycare and get him ready for bed.

These aren't all the reasons that RTO pushes young (and young-ish) women out of the workforce, but are just the first examples that came to my mind.

If it were easier to fall back to part time but stay in tech for a few years, it wouldn't be as big a deal.
They all seem so terribly expensive.

I have wondered if there is a cheaper, stopgap solution while I gather the money, something like aerating the soil along a path, the path that a drain would take, such that the water flows preferentially through the aerated soil.
I'm sure they have monitoring services to detect banned IPs and rotate on new IPs. However, in my experience, the most popular VPN providers are actually not specialized in evading GFW despite what they claim. During sensitive periods of time, most of the them couldn't be connected reliably. Those providers specializing in providing GFW evasion are called 'airports' or 'ladders' in the Chinese community and they use custom non-VPN protocols and tools for their services.
To be fair there are many benefits of running on the platform that has the most mindshare.

Unless they are in this space competing against k8s, it’s reasonable for them if they want to use Helm charts, to move where they can.

Also, Helm doesn’t work with ECS, so doesn’t <50 other tools and tech from the CNCF map>.
> People with ADHD ("ADD" is a very outdated term)

The old naming scheme made more sense than the current one. Under the current definition there are three types of ADHD, of which the "inattentive" type used to be called ADD because it doesn't have the "hyperactivity" trademark. So for that type "ADHD" is a misnomer that causes people to not even consider they may have it.
"Actual me"?

I'm the sea of energy from which all life and death springs from. We all live and die in it.
I actively avoid googling information about games because it cheapens the experience. I don't know why you'd want to do such a thing.
I am not too familiar with Magic Loops, but really there's nothing stopping you from building such a pipeline. Frigade allows you to use any schema for your content and state management.
No advice per se, but questions you'll want to consider as you read others posts:

1. why do you believe you can build it better? (even with the most amazing team)

2a. its easy to over-estimate the gains of a rewrite, and dramatically under-estimate the negatives. how bad could things get, for the business, if you migrated to a worse solution? (lost revenue, lost customers, etc)

2b. after you answer #2a, do the gains (of a rewrite) now really seem so big?

3. if you outsource this rewrite to a 3rd party (freelance, contractor, etc) - how is that any different than today? you're already "outsourcing" this to an existing vendor. How would you maintain code from non-employees?

4. can the business even support the cost (and it's a positive cost/benefit analysis) on hiring full-time employees to rewrite and maintain this code base - forever.

5a. what do your competitors do? (buy the same vendor software or they built their own)

5b. if they use the same 3rd party vendor, is the market big enough for you to turn this into a new revenue generating business (sell this in-house app you'd build)?
Do you know why introductory textbooks don't define the determinant in terms of the exterior product? This is how some "real" mathematicians I've talked to define it. It also is more intuitive (in my opinion) to define determinants as "signed volumes" than some sum of products multiplied by signs of cycles.

The product of eigenvalues definition is also somewhat intuitive to me ("How much does the matrix scale vectors in each direction? Now multiply those numbers together."), but it's harder to motivate the fact that adding rows together doesn't change the determinant, which is kind of important to actually computing the determinant.
The existence of a mind is a property of this mysterious universe that is obvious yet not described by any physical law.

We know so little what consciousness is at the age of the universe timescale (and possibly the infinite multiverse, which actually guarantees an infinite number of configurations of you), it’s hard to think that death is the obvious end of you-ness.
I look forward to the blog post where they get off K8, in just 18 months.
I think what’s important to remember is that China always had more domestic production capacity than what was going to be possible to sink into domestic consumption. This was hidden by their real estate boom, which has now ended. Now, the world is the sink for the productivity of China’s working age population (which will shrink as China rapidly ages).

If China wants to be a Tech and Clean Energy/Mobility powerhouse, and climate change is an emergency, this is not a bad thing. Surely this is a more worthy cause for human labor and time than building units that may never have a resident.

China prioritizes real value, its manufacturing base, engineering, science. Their ability to build is a muscle they maintain and flex. If counterparties value line goes up in a magic database instead (Boeing and Intel come to mind), that is going to lead to a bad time.
Yep, and many of us said this years ago when we saw the Boston Scientific robot dogs.
It has the world’s worst unemployment rate and, depending on how you slice the stats, the worst crime rate.
Working on it. I'll let you know. Thanks for the interest!
Great blog post. The company response was really great, but there was no mention of a bug bounty. This would be a perfect example if he got paid for his findings.
