Do you spend 100% of your time on such tasks? If not, then Amdahl wants a word with you about your overall productivity gains.
Yes, this is exactly what I'm getting at. In theory, those two are not mutually exclusive, but in practice they very much are due to personal preferences and that will shape what you become good at.

Of course, there are definitely people who excel at both, but they are outliers. Most will only get/want to excel in one of those two things.
It is not only sailors who get confused going around the world. The lightning map on the WeatherBug site and in the WeatherBug iOS/iPadOS app gets confused if you scroll all the way around.

When opened in the US the map is centered on the US. Scroll east to bring Europe and Africa into view and it shows lightning there. Keep scrolling east to see lighting in Asia and beyond.

When you come all the way around and the US comes into view there is no lightning. Keep going east and Europe and Africa and Asia have no lightning.

Go around east a few mores times. Then reverse direction. You've got to go around west the same number of times you went around east to get the lightning back.

For US users who want to check lighting in Europe or Africa this probably won't cause problems. They will most likely scroll east.

But for US users who want to check lighting in say Japan or Australia they will probably scroll west, and there will be no lightning. To see lighting in Japan or Australia US users have to scroll east past Europe.
How is that any different from doing

in Java? You can do this in Java, you know, casting down to an interface; the same goes for C#. Do those languages now have duck typing, just because in them you can up-cast anything to Object, and then try to down-cast to any other type, be it an interface or a class?

I don't really think there's a market for personal Iron Dome products. If nothing else the interceptors are inherently seriously restricted items that simply wouldn't be legal under any conditions in a suburban environment. The high power amateur rocket community bumps into this all the time--most people are not in a position that there is any possible way for them to comply with the hazmat rules regarding their rocket motors (you do *not* want one of those lighting off in a house fire!) They buy their motors at the launch site from those who are able to comply with the hazmat rules.

I have an even hazier understanding of the hazmat rules on possession and transport of explosives. When they blow down a building around here bringing in the explosives is something of an event and not done until the last minute because they're not allowed to store them on site.

Not to mention that explosives + motor falls deep into NFA stuff if it's legal at all. Or look at Mythbusters. All the explosions on the show? Nope, permits to do most of that simply do not exist. Behind the scenes it was actually being done by the local bomb squad.

Now, Iron *Beam* is another matter. I'm not aware of any applicable rules.

> The bulk of these weapons were used in the war against Iran and gas attacks on the Kurds

In the US-backed war against Iran, in opposition to the Iranian-aligned Kurdish militias. If you're gonna supplement a military force with their majority ethnicity, then start referring to the US war with Iraq as a US war against Arabs for consistency.

But anyway. No, the bulk was not used against Kurdish militia groups, it was used against Iranian military[0] and you also missed out a major issue in that the chemical weapons program received international support since Iraq was seen as a reliable partner against Iran. This includes US and European companies shipping precursors to Iraq. Calling it "very aggressive" when it was a completely failed country by 2002 under crippling sanctions is dishonest at best.

I think there are many employees who are net negatives (who create less value than their full cost to the company). Sometimes this relates to the employee; many times it relates to the circumstance the employee finds themself in. (In almost any spiraling downward company, there are many employees in this situation, through no particular fault of their own.)

There are far fewer who are gross negatives (who contribute negatively overall, before compensation and other costs).
You're off 3 orders of magnitude, 40,000,000,000 kg x 15,000 Wh/kg = 600TWh (you likely tripped on the kt, which is 1000x1000kg, at least I did the first time I ran your numbers). That's not 0.2% of Australia's energy use but 200%.

“I’m doing this as hard as I can”
> Do those languages now have duck typing

Maybe. I don't have a language reference handy. Does runtime type checking take place with that code?

My impression, based on the way you said it (and my vague memories of using Java once upon a time), is no. On that assumption, where would you find the duck type? The significance of both structural typing and duck typing is that type checking occurs. As before, the difference is when the check takes place – be it at compile time or at runtime.

Perhaps you could update that code to demonstrate how you would bypass calling objects which, when type checked, show to not quack like a duck like as is shown in the Go examples?
I'd absolutely propose that people should only fear the known, and what they can control. Acknowledging what is unknown or out of your control is important, but fearing those is just paralyzing.

Fear can be an excellent motivator, but its only useful when you can actually do something about it.
If you're that upset about their system, just don't buy one and spend the money on a nice vacation outside the city instead :) Everyone will be happier then.
I think I understand what you're saying. Rather than "The Biden admin cooked the initial numbers to make themselves look good", it's more "The process for generating the initial numbers has been influenced by politics over the years to favor initially higher numbers." That does make sense and is certainly a possible and perhaps partial explanation for what's going on.
As a software engineer who worked in support of civil engineers 7 years ago, I'm not exactly an expert myself, just picked up bits of domain knowledge on the job. And yeah, what you're describing re: left turns makes sense. I know there's a hybrid mode where you only serve the turns if there is demand, but otherwise you're running coordinated--but I am not sure about the nuances re: how the interplay of those modes actually works.

I expect that there are certain conditions which would indeed benefit from what you're describing. Especially if the signals could inform one another that a platoon is heading that way. On a straight shot under light conditions you might end up having to stop only once, after which you're now on a path that was coordinated precisely for you.
At one point you grow up and realize the fastest way to your goals is using money, and best bet to get lots of money fast is the VC game.
The risk of that logic is that 1-1 shifts would have 50% of the ship working at a time, although most of them would die after a week or so.

1-1 is clearly absurd. So is 2-2. And 3-3. I'm convinced 6-6 is also biologically unsustainable for most people, although 6 hours is long enough that 1) some people are perfectly fine with it, and 2) most other people can hack it for at least a while before incipient mental breakdown.

I think the Wikipedia article is simply wrong that duck typing is exclusive to dynamic type systems.

Nominal typing means use of an object type checks if the explicitly named type of the object matches the explicitly named type the operation support (modulo some type inference). For example, C is nominally typed.

Duck typing means that use of an object type checks if all operations on the object are defined, without that set of operations ever being explicitly defined. For example, C++ template substitution uses duck typing (pre-concepts).

Finally, structural typing means that use of an object type checks if some explicitly specified set of operations on it are defined. For example C++20 templates with constraints use structural typing. Go interfaces seem to as well, although I'm not familiar enough with Go to know if that's exactly true.
There are so many quick ways around these issues.

One final comment on the impact of LLMs: If the need for a very specific paper is not critical AND IF the research research had deep content before the cut-off date of Claude 3.5 Sonnet, THEN one can often get good context on a topic in a useful Q&A format I have come to love.

The implications and impact of LLM on pay-walls are enormous. Most users and scientists do NOT need a specific reference. They need some information or insight on a particular question.

In this context I find Claude highly reliable when my questions are relatively broad (e.g: “Claude, please explain Wright fixation index, F<st>, and its use in comparing genetic similarities and differences among chimpanzee populations?”). For that question and others of this type I get great first-pass answers, better than I would from all but a dozen experts in the world.

In contrast if I ask Claude for specific citations on the fixation index in chimps it is very likely to provide a confabulated reference. I will occasionally luck out but every citation you get from an LLM now needs to be vetted unless you have a RAG front-end.

All of these methods are available to almost anyone with internet access.

No. The primary job of weapons is deterrence. If a weapon is used it's already failed in it's primary mission. Most military weapons will be built and sit somewhere until they reach the end of their shelf life.

I wanted to jump in here and say that what we're working on at typedb.com, in our 3.0 version (coming soon in alpha!), is that we're taking our earlier database query language and making it much more Programming-like: functions, errors containing stack traces, more sophisticated type inference, queries as streams/pipelines... I think it's super exciting and has a huge horizon for where it could go by meshing more ideas from PL design :)

Incidentally I think it also addresses what a lot of the comments here are talking about: not learning JOINs, indexing, build-in relation cardinality constraints, etc, but that's a separate point!
At that point you may as well still hit the bell, even if only to further boost your preferred creators.
1950-1975 property taxes in Baltimore increased 19 times. It's double the rate in neighboring Baltimore county. In the 2010's Baltimore was losing 500 residents per month. The city is in a death spiral.

1950-1975 San Francisco was in a similar situation, losing population. In 1978 prop. 13 passed and placed a cap of 1% on the property tax. Reducing it by 2/3's. A huge boom started. The overall revenue increased by 80% after a few years as the property values increased.

Two Baltimore residents talk about it here:

Then again, it sounds like she was treated many times by this hospital. I cannot fathom the circumstances where the actions after her death could have been a simple mistake, but they've had 16 months to come up with a story and destroy all the evidence, so we may never know the truth.

The rules you're talking about were uniformly created as a way to replace de jure racial segregation, which was outlawed surprisingly early in the 20th century, with de facto racial segregation. People supply post-hoc rationalizations for density restrictions, and some of them might even be valid, especially as you get further away from urban cores, but just to be clear: the Chesterton analysis here says these fences were erected by morons; they do not inherit a presumption of reasonableness.

My confidence about this take is pretty high throughout the continental United States, but in Chicago it is something like 100%, since this is a local policy issue I work on here.

So, you have two choices for directory layout in mono

either:

root/

requirements.txt / pyproject.toml

src/

---

in which case you need to be careful about when your dependencies get installed during deployment because ie pytorch can be ~500mb

your other option is

root/

src/

A/

requirements.txt / pyproject.toml

B/

requirements.txt / pyproject.toml

which means you need to come up with a bespoke dependency management solution. in either case, you're doing dependency management.

I encourage you to google "monorepo {python, poetry, pip}" and you're going to land on many multiple page blog posts describe arcane dependency management solutions.

For some people. Sleep monitors confirm that I consistently sleep from 7 to 8 hours straight through per night unless something external disturbs me. That's my own natural sleep pattern. I cannot function on fewer contiguous hours long-term. I know. I've been through it several times in life and it was universally horrible.

Some people function best with several shorter sleep periods. Other people function best with 1 longer one. The former can work just fine with a 12-12 schedule. The latter cannot maintain performance with a 6-6 schedule.
Respectfully, SF is known for a handful of things, wealth, tech, and people shitting on the sidewalk prominent among them.

Can you point to where that claim was made? I can't find it. The parent post assumes 1% for the sake of argument to underline that the impact of the 1% error depends on the number to which the 1% are applied — automation reduces the effort and increases the number.

Hypothetical example: Cops shoot the wrong person in x% of cases. If we equipped all surveillance cameras with guns that also shoot the wrong person in x% of cases the world would be a nightmare pandemonium, simply because there is more cameras and they are running 24/7.

Mind that the precise value of x and whether is constant or not does not impact the argument at all.

it varies a lot with polymers, and it's a different effect. steel is entirely crystalline; ldpe is mostly amorphous. a big part of what's happening in the strain hardening of ldpe, aside from making it uniaxially oriented, is that it's crystallizing; the crystalline domains become larger, greatly reducing the amorphous volume fraction. (there are also other ways of achieving this effect, such as annealing, which you will notice softens steel rather than hardening it.) ldpe's strength isn't determined by crystal dislocation density in the same way as steel's, and of course steel doesn't have polymer chains to align

With Bluetooth, the relationship is Phone streaming directly to the speaker. This places a full dependency on the phone and results in some major issues (IMO).

- With bluetooth you're severely limited by range (between phone and speaker). If you wander off to the bathroom or other end of the house you'll most likely experience degradation, stuttering or disconnects. So your phone must be near the speaker at all times.

- Bluetooth is taxing on phones, sacrificing battery life.

- Bluetooth is painful to share with. Even on the Hyperboom Speaker that has 2x Bluetooth channels. You can't just hand over connectivity to someone else easily.

Spotify Connect changes the relationship drastically and therefore experience. Your phone instructs the Audio Player (M5) to connect to Spotify directly, removing the dependency from your phone. Since the Audio Player will connect directly, this reduces load on your phone and you're free to wander off. It also allows anyone else with a Spotify account to take control of the connection without messy bluetooth disconnect/connect events.

It's just better in all regards IMO.
I wrote a song for my girlfriend this way. It turned out pretty nice. A bit quirky is not necessarily a bad thing when making personalized content.
Took me a couple of hours to get it to my liking, including learning all the tools and the workflow for the first time. And fixing up a couple of mispronunciations of her nickname using inpainting.
Overall a very productive environment, and will probably try to make some more songs - an replace the vocals with my own using the stems feature.

I have some audio engineering skills, dabbled in songwriting, guitar and singng when I was younger, but actually never completed a full song. So it is quite transformative from that perspective!

With declarative tooling - unlike setup.py - we've lost the ability to install to locations not managed by Python. Most of my projects used to have a python-code config file that I could include both in my code and in setup.py. Last I checked none of that is now possible. Want to install a system binary - ship an RPM or a flatpak.

I don't understand how we could lose so much flexibility and yet gain so little in return.

P.S I've only ever encountered minor dependency issues in my admittedly small projects using just pip and venv.
