Deep blue had to use the techniques it did due to the limitations of the hardware of the time. Deep blue would almost certainly lose against AlphaZero, even if you tuned it to modern hardware. All you have to do 'manually' is teach it the rules/give it a loss function, then you just let it do its thing.

It's certainly true that "just throw a bunch of GPUs at it" is wasteful, but it does achieve results.
Tolkien has repeatedly and explicitly said that he never wrote allegories for anything, and that he simply wanted to write a good story.

Of course he also readily admitted that his own experiences and views on life influenced his writing. He went off to fight in the trenches with his university friends and he was the only one to come back. This obviously leaves a mark. And if you read his writings aware of his views on Catholicism, then obviously quite a lot of that shines through as well.

But all of that is fairly subtle. The notion that this or that is an allegory for such and such is pretty much always wrong. Tolkien just wanted to write an entertaining story – nothing more, nothing less.

With a large work of fiction and a large set of real-world events, you can find allegories in everything. Doesn't mean the author intended this.
[...] so long as you don't have to run the computation through multiple rounds (like having 32bit ALU but doing 64bit arithmetic)

That does not sound right, your byte ordering should not affect the ALU, it will always perform the same operations. If you are doing a multi-word add, you have to add from least significant to most significant word because of the carry. And the ALU has no idea what you are adding, whether the numbers are independent or part of a multi-word integer. At best I could imagine that there might be some impact when fetching operands as in big-endian you have to fetch from decreasing addresses which might be less efficient then fetching from increasing addresses.
Yes, sure, all of that. But also, my boss's boss and my boss's boss's boss are looking at velocity and continually asking for more. They've got dashboards for it. Managers have to answer for why their team's velocity is different from another manager's team. Et cetera.

You can say "don't do that that's not how it works" until you're blue in the face, and it will still happen.

That's the critical failure of Scrum: it's one giant managerial dark pattern that's full of enticements to abuse it. Those enticements are constant. The exhortations to not do it that way are buried in the fine print somewhere, and the only reminders about them are coming from disgruntled individual contributors, probably from lower-performing teams, whose opinion is therefore suspect. The managerial opinion is probably that they should stop whining and make the deadline already.

I keep wishing we could instead have an agile framework that works with human nature instead of fighting against it.
> I always thought eleven and twelve were remnants from when the system was more base twelveish.

https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=eleven disagrees. It says eleven means “one left” and twelve “two left”, with an implicit “over ten”. That, to me, doesn’t look like base twelve was leading.
> But it’s worth taking a step back from the medieval-fantasy cliches that overran later D&D publications, and playing the original, more coherent setting: A swords-and-sorcery world, empty of government, where anyone can pick up a sword, become a hero, and live the American dream.

"... empty of government ... live the American dream"

That is the real fantasy: to believe that the USA is "empty of government".

Or maybe the author considers the american dream is dead, because of too much government?
All of these methodologies (and most formal software architectures as well) have as a their main sales pitch the idea that you can hire average/entry-level developers and build good software with reduced defects and on a defined schedule if you only follow these magic guidelines.

It refuses to learn from The Mythical Man-Month and recognize that building software has an essential complexity that cannot be avoided. You need smart people to implement and manage it, and you'll have to pay them what the market says they are worth.

Building software that's more complicated than a standalone CRUD system is hard, it will always be hard, and unpredictable, and to some degree stressful. No methodology will ever make it anything else because the methodology used doesn't change the nature of the problem.
Great examples. I think another case, especially in business/it, is that the people doing the purchasing aren't often the people using the products. This means the incentive structure often doesn't prioritize a good product, but instead whatever appeals to the buyer (perhaps lower cost, features, created by a known entity, e.g. no one got fired buying ibm).
Matlab plays a sound on error by default (on some systems through the internal speaker, bypassing volume controls) and I always found it irritating.

The only use case I see for them is something running in the background that takes a while and might get interrupted.
It's infinitely better than television because you can remove ads and choose what you want to see! I know you never compared it to TV but that was the main mode of entertainment before streaming.

I think it's meaningless to criticize MBs content because it's a kids show. Of course it's formulaic and predictable. And I dislike his content too, and blocked him from my feed a year or two ago.
Oh, I'm a hobbyist. (Well, at the moment. Some things I am making might soon get to the Tindie/Etsy/online sales level.)

And you're right it has a place. I'm not totally advocating switching if it works for you. But for newer users who want to really use code-CAD, out there are tools that are not held back by OpenSCAD's limitations (and which scale less painfully with complexity), and learning about them might help see simpler solutions or even bridge the gap to GUI CAD.

The most significant limitation I can see for a hobbyist maker is reaching the point where you can't make something yourself (or can't make it cost-effectively) and need to get it fabricated elsewhere. That is when you may very well find you would benefit from something OpenSCAD cannot (ever, I think) do: true, efficient STEP export.

As my 3D printed designs get more complex I am pushing closer and closer to the point where I will need a part cut conventionally out of steel or aluminium, or -- most likely sooner -- where I will need custom fasteners. One of the advantages of a workflow that will produce STEP is being able to work with someone who has those specialisations (and/or import work into the software tools they use). So at the earliest point I could, I made sure I was in that world. As a side bonus, it means being able to potentially use home CNC, or even just extract vector faces from generated models for use with a laser cutter or a Silhouette-type machine.

Out of completeness I should note that in that situation you're not totally out of options, as FreeCAD can interpret OpenSCAD in a bRep context with the exception of a few operations like minkowski() that get left as meshes. But it's a real limitation.
Almost every Windows app now paints its menu bar or other chrome directly in what used to be the title bar space, and most of them, are custom and don't even count as "real" title bars to Windows. About the only thing to turn off these days is the space where Windows tries to paint the ordinary Min/Max/Close buttons, but even that can't be universal given how many apps today don't even use cutouts for that and instead draw their own. Looking at Fixefox, Slack, and Outlook on Windows 11 right now I see three different styles of Min/Max/Close buttons and I can't tell you which ones are really painted by Windows itself in a title bar cutout. Slacks look the most fake to my eyes because the icons are weirdly aliased and seemingly the wrong DPI, but that might not mean anything.
> People don't complain enough about these tests

Complain to who?

I don't complain about them outside of a random comment here and there on HN. What I do instead is to refuse to do them. Whatever is on the other side of those gates isn't worth putting up with that crap.
Loved this one.

Also, public transit systems are very safe during commuter hours. That’s when they work best. If I were a parent, I would not be concerned about letting my children take public transit / walk home as a group during 3-4pm. The city really is filled with other kids doing the same thing.
You may not find it appealing, but the truth is that most major successes are driven by obsession. It’s not a balanced or psychologically sound way to live—no one claims it is. If you believe great achievements come from people working regular hours, taking it slow, and maintaining a comfortable pace, you are mistaken.

Newton, Steve Jobs, Marie Curie...the list goes on. These people's success wasn't a product of balance or moderation
I wanted to say something in favor of sweet potatoes, so did some research:

[0] says:

The best lettuce has 2.5mg of beta-carotene in 47g of lettuce.
The best sweet potato has 31mg of beta-carotene in 328g of sweet potato (sweet potatoes are the beta-carotene leader BTW :strong:).

If this modified lettuce can really have 30 times as much beta-carotene, that's a significant amount. I was expecting the numbers to show that lettuce had almost no beta-carotene, and after you times it by 30 it's still almost nothing, but apparently it's more significant than that.

Not really. The Sun radiates about 1000W/m^2 of energy at Earth distances. AC won't hold a candle to that. That's why global warming conversations focus on greenhouses gases that trap the Sun's energy, not industrial processes that release heat.
>> Your goal here is to make the best YOUTUBE videos possible.

I see a lot of unnecessary negative sentiment towards that quote.

The quote has no hidden meaning and should be taken on face value: I could easily see an up-and-coming producer work for Mr. Beast, and get sidetracked with making sure that pixels are "perfect." Or a set designer making sure that a specific prop is placed "perfectly." That's not the point, and Mr. Beast is very upfront about it.

I actually admire that quote.

I despise the inverted pyramid structure, at least as it was practiced in most newspapers. Starting with the BLUF is good practice, but after that the article becomes a disjointed smattering of factual tidbits, quotes from random people, rehashing of previous information with no flow or continuity and the reader is left to piece together the story on their own.

I much prefer writers who organize the information in an article according to what makes it easiest to understand and flows best. You still start with a brief summary, but then it diverges from inverted pyramid. Sometimes this means putting things in chronological order, which means mixing more important and less important information as you go. Other times it means giving background information early on which helps to understand later information, which inverse pyramid would would put at the very end.

It means the article can't easily be edited by chopping off the end, and it puts the onus on the writer to decide what information to include and what to cut, what background to summarize and what to link, and how to organize the content. But the result is much more readable.

OData provides GraphQL functionality but using GET + URL parameters, for large queries it's really hard to read or edit. Using the request body makes sense for readability, so OData also offers the option to query with POST + request body.
I mean, AC will literally save lives during the increasingly frequent heat waves of the future. AC is not the problem, making sure the energy that powers it is renewable is the problem.

When I move to my next place, I will be installing a solar panel and battery setup sufficient keep the fridge, freezer, and at least one room of the house cool during a heat wave. I don't really care how much it costs.
I had a bike, I love riding bikes. These days, I bike everywhere all the time (I don't drive) but I also live in a bike-able place now

The roads where I grew up had no shoulder and people frequently whipped around the windy roads at 35 mph. The only bikers I ever saw were fully lycra-clad race cyclist type of people. I never saw a mother biking with her kid, for example. I was afraid to be on a bike on the streets. At least with walking I could take a step or two off the road when a fast moving car was coming.

I do not see much value in a golden lettuce, because nothing stops you to eat one carrot every day, which will provide enough beta-carotene.

Moreover, the carrot is certainly cheaper, because it is not patented and it is available from a myriad of sources. Also a boiled carrot is unlikely to cause any health problems, while raw lettuce periodically causes disease outbreaks, so it is not a good choice for a staple food that you must eat every day to ensure your recommended intake of a vitamin.

There are other domains where genetic engineering can provide results that cannot be obtained by any alternatives.

For example, there are genetically-modified strains of the fungus Trichoderma that can be used to produce high-quality proteins, either whey proteins or eggwhite proteins.

Such fungal cultures have the potential to become a much better source of proteins than the milk and eggs or the meat produced by animals and they would have important advantages over plant proteins, by having a superior amino-acid profile and not requiring expensive methods for separation from starch.
This is a great intro to meditation.

DeWalt, or any other power tool battery adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/HICOPEET-Compatible-Motorhead-v7-v8/d...

Power tool batteries have BMS, better chargers, and if you have multiple batteries, you get infinite vacuuming powers.

Okay so you're measuring success in terms of revenue and revenue only?

Look at the most valuable (in terms of market cap) companies that are publicly traded as of 9/16/2024: 1. Apple 2. Microsoft 3. NVidia 4. Alphabet 5. Amazon. They all fundamentally changed their respective markets (and in some ways each others' markets) in mostly good ways.

If this is not what you're talking about please clarify.
Sure. But your statement alone without evidence at face value looks like something you just intuited without proof and out of thin air.

Hence it was reasonable to ask.

Fava and beancount have some affordances here. You can make a data directory with a directory structure that matches your chart of accounts. Place datestamped files in here and they'll show up inline in your fava ledger view.

Additionally you can annotate a transaction with a "document" tag and that document will show up directly associated in the ui.

The ui has pretty good previewing for these. I add pdf versions of all of my statements, and attach receipts to specific transactions (business expenses, proof of paying taxes, etc.)

It works quite well
No, he one proved that other people don't need to put up with your bs if you try to break conventions. Hence your use of ASCII "Prince" being entirely adequate.

The Ring also has some very nebulous power up effect that it would give to the forces of evil. It isn’t at all clear what it does, just that it would be real bad for the bad guys to get it.

If it was a nuke, presumably Elrond would have mentioned that, haha.

I think it has more of a wide ranging philosophical power or something like that. If it fell into the hands of evil, it would mean the arc of history was going their way, all the little dice rolls would bend imperceptibly their way, they’d wake up just a little more energized than the forces of good every day, etc etc. It is better that way, because it becomes a battle for the soul of Middle Earth.
Exciting idea and seems like a well-proven team. Good luck to you guys here and don't mind the endemic snark in the other threads. A couple basic questions --

1. How will you handle one-off events like volcanic eruptions for instance?
2. Where do you start with this too? Do you pitch a meteorology team? Is it like a "compare and see for yourself"?

The nice thing about needing the extra .\ is great tab completion. If your output folder only generates the one EXE then .\ then Tab is sometimes all you need. For "program.exe" you can save 4 characters (a "gram", if you like). You can even write it as ./ then Tab to save a shift keypress (especially if you have bash habits).

Yep, to the extent that this is a sensible thing to do, this is the sensible way to do it. This is clearly analogous to working in high-pressure finance shops or in startups for a fairly short period of time in order to drink from a firehose.

The problem is that the kind of people who are ambitious enough to think this sounds like a good idea often (maybe usually) get sucked deeply into it.

But yep, I do think it's a reasonable model if you can avoid that outcome and get in and out early in your career.
Nice! Looks similarly written like a LLM prompt to carefully instruct people.

there is nuance to all things and that nuance is what GP is getting at.

What you say is also valid but in between, is a lot of grey. For example, should the federal government in your country issue standardised IDs to citizens? A lawyer may point to privacy regulations and say no but there are lots of benefits. If a workaround exists, should we simply ignore those benefits?

Raw dogging can mean quite different things. Apparently :D
It's the past. I've let go of it as much as I can. But I will always have what if questions about it. But broadly, academia was a dead-end. I should have never gotten a doctorate, it was a waste of time. And I doubly should never have done a post-doc because that's indentured labor. The day I left academia my salary more than tripled my income, an experience many sorts in AI encountered more recently. Unless one is born into wealth, academia is a horrible choice IMO. And too many of the tenured sorts calling the shots are some of the most unethical sorts I've ever met. Ironically, the most ethical team I ever worked with was at a hedge fund likely because it's pretty hard to hide the loss of funds at one. And everything else has been between those two extremes.

Seems like there are some steps missing between the quoted at the beginning and the outrage in the article. I don’t really understand the specifics of the complaint.

My main thought reading the quote at the top is, “you shouldn’t call people ‘neckbeards’”. But it is also true that not all engineers want to talk to customers. Don’t judge a fish by how well they ride a bicycle, and all that. “It takes all kinds” is a beautiful expression to sum that up.

This would be much more restrictive that what is proposed, because usually you would add `defer` statements as you go in a block, when you allocate more resources for example.

Also usually you should be able to have several actions,

defer {
one;
two;
}

And the bounding in the proposed feature is sane, I think, it is the surrounding compound statement (AKA `{ ... }` block).
