I think you’ll be sorely disappointed in looking for reason, if reason means long-term strategically sound decisions, from any of these publicly traded companies. The incentives are almost always short-term. Executives are normally completely disconnected with how the company really functions. The power structures separate the decision makers from reality since most are too afraid for their own careers to question the leadership. Slash and burn tactics win over internal training. Almost all managers I’ve seen in these companies bend over backwards to implement whatever is being decided without questioning anything, even if they have better data on hand to prove the decisions are poorly thought out. That also goes for directors. If you understand this going in you won’t necessarily have an existential crisis, but if you don’t you’re in for a bad time.

One of the ex-CEOs of Medtronic use to sit with the engineers during lunch to understand what was really going on in the company as he found his underlings continually hid problems from him. I wish more CEOs understood the wisdom of that but they’re too busy playing as feudal lords.

Automatic Differentiation is about leveraging AI (i.e., LLM's, ChatGPT, etc.) to write computer programs in non-AI conventional programming languages (i.e., C, C++, Assembler, Pascal, Go, Python, Julia, etc., etc.)

This specific area of focus in Computer Science is apparently referred to as "Differentiable Programming":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_programming

>"Most differentiable programming frameworks work by constructing a graph containing the control flow and data structures in the program.[7]

[...]

The use of Just-in-Time compilation has emerged recently as a possible solution to overcome some of the bottlenecks of interpreted languages. The C++ heyoka and python package heyoka.py make large use of this technique to offer advanced differentiable programming capabilities (also at high orders). A package for the Julia programming language – Zygote – works directly on Julia's intermediate representation. [7][11][5]

A limitation of earlier approaches is that they are only able to differentiate code written in a suitable manner for the framework, limiting their interoperability with other programs. Newer approaches resolve this issue by constructing the graph from the language's syntax or IR, allowing arbitrary code to be differentiated. [7][9]"

What you are calling "unearned income" can still represent production indirectly, since it is income from passive investments, which are supposed to give returns based on creating wealth. It is true that that isn't always the case, however, particularly when such investments can include various sorts of derivatives and other zero-sum transactions.

That said, if no income were taxed at all, any disparity between how the various kinds of income were taxed would go away.
Yes. It's past time for this concept to be put to rest. It started out as a joke and has taken on a life of its own; moreoever, it has looped back over onto itself, to the point where it's advocating a sort of DIY SOTA vibe that is going to get people hurt --- the opposite of what the joke was going for originally.

How can a Raptor turbopump need almost double the HP of a F1 while putting out 1/3 or 1/4th the thrust? (Assuming Elon's 100k HP number was correct, and/or hasn't changed). That just doesn't settle out for me. If it's got double the power, it should be moving double the fuel, so double the power, no?
Well they've been arguing over that in various court for over ten years. They didn't just charge him with copyright infringement which itself would probably not be extraditable:

Often with US law enforcement where there's a will there's a way even if it doesn't strictly stick to normal legal practices.

Arvo’s work is also using Green’s theorem, in much the same way this article is. Integrating the phong-exponent light reflections is a little bit insane though (and btw I’ve seen Arvo’s code for it.)

The problem you run into with non-constant polygon colors is that you’d have to integrate the product of two different functions here - the polygon color and the filter function. For anything real-world, this is almost certainly going to result in an expression that is not analytically integrable.

Instant media coverage perhaps? I've had long conversations with some of the people from this group in the past and my conclusion is they have no idea what they're doing. With enough arguments, their claims and worldviews ALWAYS fall apart at some point (it's actually surprisingly easy, which is sort of terrifying). I'm not at all against young people or activists per se. Anyway, do I need "fresh" sea food being shipped to the EU from central Asia every three days? Absolutely not.

The prime importance of solving by radicals is actually, that it led to the theory of groups! Groups are used in all sorts of places. (One nice pictorial example is fundamental group of a topological space). Just like Complex numbers arose in trying to solve the cubic. Also, the statement of Fermat's Last Theorem doesn't have any applications but its solution led to lot of interesting theory like how ideals get factorized in rings, elliptic curves, Galois representations...

BTW, the same theory can be extended to differential equations and Differential Galois Theory tells you if you can get a solution by composing basic functions along with exponentials.

Historically, radicals can be motivated by looking at people trying to solve linear, then quadratics, medieval duels about cubics and quartics, the futile search for solving quintics etc. Incidentally, quintics and any degree can have a closed form solution using modular functions.

In my opinion, if you break down all the polygons in your scene into non-overlapping polygons, then clip them into pixels, calculate the color of each piece of polygon (applying all paints, blend modes, etc) and sum it up, ...in the end that's the best visual quality you can get. And that's the idea i'm working on, but it involves the decomposition/clip step on the CPU, while sum of paint/blend is done by the GPU.

The problem is not the CPU per se, but the PCI bandwidth congestion between CPU<->PCI lanes.

These NVME drives can talk directly to each other for raid which means a much larger total bandwidth is available, and potentially improved latency also.

People that spend time talking about the "ZIRP era" make me think they found a phrase to make themselves feel clever rather than actually say anything of substance.

I didn't notice any data backing up one of the specific post-ZIRP claims made here - that everything is aligning along Typescript and Python lines. Similarly I don't see how using more expensive platforms on top of AWS/GCP is something that correlates with "belt tightening" - if anything, you'd see people just going back to managing a handful of raw VMs or managing their own data centers.

Too many of these groups seem stuck on "awareness", as if seeing a single poster will instantly sway the reader to their cause, and to succeed they just need more people to see more posters.

So it appears that OP is only using items off YouTube front page as options on channels? I think this would be a lot more interesting if it chose more randomized content, especially having an option for content with low views...

Also, an option to do full-screen would greatly enhance the experience.

I think the biggest issue that exists with current YouTube is that so much is crammed into the UI and viewing experience (Ads, the videos on the sidebar, clunky controls to skip videos, etc...) that ruins the continuity of video content, especially when mixed with so many videos in different formats... It's also the same problem that TikTok is fighting with, it makes for a pretty disruptive viewing experience in comparison to cable TV or just choosing to watch TV shows or movies instead.
I guess I would agree if they were raising awareness for something people arent aware of, but everyone is aware of climate change wether they believe it or not. If their activities highlighted specific areas that need more awareness then that might also be more acceptable, but the only thing the public are aware of is that they are very annoying.

Why don't they target oil companies, or politicians, instead of the general public? It's bad enough having your government ignoring you without also having activists target you ostensibly for the same causes you believe in.
Yup, we named it after Richard Hamming. His essay 'you and your research' was deeply influential during my undergrad; I re-read it every quarter.

Our current product draws inspiration from Hamming distance because we're comparing the `distance` between current LLM output vs. desired LLM output.

But isn't this also true for generic quadratics/cubics too? Like the solution to x^3-2=0 is cubed_root_of(2), so it seems we can "write it down". But what is the definition of cubed_root_of(2)? Well, it's the positive solution to x^3-2=0...

founder/developer on Kardinal here - that's a good question

in reality what you're doing with namespace-based deploys or telepresence is equally "lightweight" to what you're doing with Kardinal. it's just that (at least in our phrasing), those don't quite constitute a separate "environment" as state is shared between any developers working at the same time

Kardinal matches those approaches in terms of light-weightedness, but offers state isolation guarantees too (like isolation for your dbs, queues, caches, managed services, etc). so in comparison to "ephemeral environment" approaches that give state isolation, we do believe we're doing this in the most lightweight way possible by implementing that isolation at the layer of the network request rather than by duplicating deployed resources

and thanks for the +1 on the name haha, we called it Kardinal because the goal is to deploy only "unique elements of your ephemeral environments" across the organization, i.e. number of services deployed equals the "cardinality" of service versions

Dittofeed – Helm Chart, Email Attachments, Segmentation Improvements – v0.14.0
Hey HN, I wanted to share the latest release of Dittofeed we’ve been working on, v0.14.0. For those who aren't familiar, Dittofeed is an open-source, MIT-licensed alternative to customer engagement platforms like Customer.io and Klaviyo. This release brings significant improvements to Dittofeed:

- *Helm Chart*: We've added a Helm chart for easy installation on Kubernetes. Several teams are already using it in production.

- *Manual Segments*: Create segments based on a hardcoded list of users, great for targeting based on external data or analysis.

- *Email Attachments*: We've added support for email attachments, enhancing email campaign capabilities.

- *Performance Enhancements*: Significant improvements include an optimization to our segmentation engine, resulting in a 50% reduction in compute times!

- *Webhook and SMS Broadcasts*: Send one-off messages to external APIs and SMS providers.

- *Random Bucket Segment Type*: Useful for testing new journey paths or A/B testing.

- *Synchronize Properties in Webhook Nodes*: Safely retrieve and use data from your own APIs in your journeys.

- *Improved Admin APIs*: Extended APIs allow developers to programmatically read and update journeys, segments, and user properties.

- *HyperDX Integration*: Added support for correlating logs and traces with HyperDX via OpenTelemetry.

For a more detailed breakdown of what's included in v0.14.0, check out our full release notes:
https://www.dittofeed.com/post/release-v0-14-0

If you're self-hosting Dittofeed, make sure to consult our latest upgrade guide:
https://docs.dittofeed.com/deployment/self-hosted/upgrade-guide/v0-14-0

We'd really appreciate it if you visited and starred our repo to help support the project:
https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

We'd love to get your feedback and suggestions for new features and improvements.

Thank you!
If I recall, I think the same thing is going to happen to the Microsoft Edge browser, which is built on chromium, which is a real shame because this could've been a point of differentiation for them. Windows has always asked me to switch from Chrome to Edge without giving me a compelling reason. This would have been a compelling reason.

That isn’t true. Again, please look more closely at the first example in the article, and take the time to understand it. It demonstrates there’s a better method than what you’re suggesting, proving that clipping to pixels and summing the area is not the best visual quality you can get.
Or maybe don’t use a Chromebook.
