I'll agree on that example. But that's different to what's been discussed in this thread.

A sports car, used fairly sparingly for fun, and not a daily driver - is different to the horrible trend of daily driving done via ugly, honkingly big SUV's.

A neural network is perfectly deterministic, the runtime is predictable before you run it. Which I don't think is going to be true much longer.

> If getting the best developers for your budget isn't a priority, hiring remotely allows you to stretch your runway further.

If I wanted to stretch my budget, I would go to LATAM. Developers marketing themselves as "go remote, stretch your budget further" will see just how far it can stretch.

I'm hiring in the USA because my business requires knowledge of the US business environment (benefits management) and require in-person because it's easier to prevent mistakes which can attract the ire of regulators when you are small and don't have formal review processes.

> I wanted to reply to your comment re:Nordics but it seems it reached a limit to comment depth, your experiences are probably related to interacting with a biased sample, a quick google tells me that on average only a couple hundred Swedes immigrate to the US per year.

Possible, and I didn't interact with only Swedes; I interacted with mostly Norwegians and a few Swedes, so I may be generalizing somewhat. But it really seemed like there was a collective sense of "I need to act as ruthless as possible to run a business here". I don't think American business customs are well understood in practical application.
Eh? Eating in a self service is normally cheaper.
as an inexperienced, thankless issue-raiser in this world, i can give my 0.02 on this.

a lot of open-source today seems like the charitable organizations of the world. the idea is to give selflessly, but a lot of it has become about lowkey entitlement, just because "nobody else is doing it" or will do it without our support.

on the other hand, i do empathize with the double-edge nature of accessibility to open-source platforms. while using git can still be a daunting task, raising issues or "contributions" has become easier than making a ticket in most teams' Jira. again, you can choose to adapt to the platforms or just have a simple one that you control. i might raise well-thought out issues once in a while when it affects my work projects, but i will not even consider using the mailing list for a linux kernel issue. maybe that is a good way to get rid of the noise.

i envy those who could generously give and also enjoy the process of just coding for its sake. those who don't do open-source with these ideas should not be asking for anything in return. we are not owed anything, no matter what good can come out of our work.
I don't think Proton has prevented anything. In fact, without it, and the back catalog of Windows games it makes available on SteamDeck, I doubt the handheld would have been as popular. SteamDeck was successful enough to get a re-release in the form of the OLED model, which is a big success for a Linux handheld. The longer Valve remains committed to the platform, and the more devices they get into the hands of consumers, the more attractive native Linux games will look to developers.
> The supply was there because there was supply from elsewhere

Exactly, as I wrote. Which is why they were able pursue the option "shut everything down at once and fix immediately" without any negative repercussions apart from EDFs bottom line for that one year.

(Though that apparently was not the biggest negative impact on their bottom line that year. The bigger one was being compelled by law to sell electricity to their competitors at 4 cents/kWh and having to buy it back at market rates that were spiking due to the energy crisis).

There was also the option "stagger the shutdowns and take a slightly elevated risk of one of the triple-redundant cooling systems failing". Which they might have preferred to reducing electricity supply for the country or accelerating repairs. But they didn't have to do that.

> So things need to work under poor policies, too.

Nothing works under arbitrarily bad policy, and such a standard is not applied to anything in the real world.

CrowdStrike incident shows we need to rethink cyber
i did read it in full but i knew too well apple to not trust it, i believe it's going to be another half done attempt that is overcomplicated and totally inefficient.

Like, i don't know... the recent self repair program. cost as much as sending your device to apple but you get to do the manual labor and take the risk to break it. WHAT A DEAL !

Edit: went to look on the Repair Assistant, it sounded promising until i read that it requires you (who repair the phone) to be able to authenticate with the Apple Account of the owner of the phone that you are taking a part of.

Basically it means that every iphone thrown away that the owner didn't take the time to remove it's apple account, and god knows people don't care about this even if they should, is useless.

You also can't buy a part on the internet because how do you know it's been taken from a phone that got it's apple id logged off ? it throws away 90% of the available phone to scavenge.

And most important, you can't buy third party parts.
Why can i replace the shaft drive on my bmw, which is deadly important part, with third party shaft drive yet i can't replace iphone battery with a non apple one ?? Does apple consider us to be that retarded that we can't buy batteries from genuine reseller ?

Most hackers some 20 years ago weren't worried about money, so they could naturally explore their curiosities in their free time. Hustle culture in general seems to rise and fall inversely to the economic situtation, so I'm not too surprised that we're shifting to $$ over curiosity at the moment.

> I would have thought about privately disclosing these findings to Dotpe. But all the API requests are right there in plain sight...

There are pretty common ethical standards about disclosing vulnerabilities privately before disclosing them publicly. I don't see how the obviousness of the vulnerability changes the situation. By warning the company, you give them the opportunity to remedy the problem before announcing to the world that anyone with a laptop can exploit it. Probably they were just hoping that nobody would notice, which is stupid of course, but now they don't have the chance to build up a better wall before the flood of fake orders that could cause real harm to the small businesses whose financial information you disclosed online.

Perhaps I'm being too optimistic about how the company would respond, but I still think it's hard to justify not doing a private disclosure.
This. I used to colo lots of stuff, but now mostly use Hetzner. But there are many in this space, and some of them even offer an API. And some of them (like Hetzner) also offer at least basic cloud services, so you can mix and match (which allows for even steeper cost cuts - instead of loading your dedicated hardware to 60% or whatever you're comfortable with to have headroom, you can load it higher and scale into their cloud offering to handle spikes).

The boundary where colo and dedicated server offerings intersect in price tend to be down to land and power costs - Hetzner finally became the cheaper option for me as London land values skyrocketed relative to their locations in Germany, and colo prices with them. (We could have looked at coko somewhere remote, but the savings would've been too low to be worth it)

TinyGrad is GeoHot's system/compiler to map neural networks onto hardware. He consistently points out this one point: Because the exact number of cycles is know in advance, it can be scheduled, there's no need for branch prediction, or that type of thing in a CPU.

Essentially, he wants to be able to express programs, and even an operating system, as a directed acyclic graph of logical binary operations, so that you can have consistent and deterministic runtime behavior.

The bit about LLMs is a distraction, in my opinion.

I don't think this is about the hardware necessarily. They probably make more money from the Steam store and there are some notable ARM based platforms where you currently can't use Steam and where they are not able to sell games.

Macs would be a big juicy target, for example. If they can get emulation working well enough with proton on that, that's a huge market. Lots of people with disposable income on there that could be buying lots of games. And Apple is doing similar things as well so there might be some opportunity to tap into what they are doing.

Secondly, this piece of legislation is not only a threat to the people of Europe, it is actually a gift to the autocracies of the world like China, Russia and Iran and more who as soon as it is implemented will deploy tremendous amounts of efforts to break into it.

Exactly this. When I was a junior investment banker we worked brutal hours, often 80-90 hours a week with most days ending at 1-2am.

I can see no reason why a system-wide file dialog should ever be altering this.

* make the methods and data section part of the PDF or provide additional PDF's (some people will opt to "download PDF" for later perusal, and then be disappointed they have to use the browser to render the methods section to PDF as well)

* provide explicit URL's in the data section

It's been a while since I used OnlyOffice, can't really speak to its performance.

I think mostly the sluggishness comes from some input delay in the browser.

How much of your 8 hours at the office is productive work? In my experience, half the day is spent on coffee breaks and lunch anyway.
I think that works out if you are alone, if you are with other people, the waiter will probably interrupt the socialization you are doing with the people you are with, causing stress even for the waiter.

Also we should recognize that the waiter is often looked down at, it is not a very nice job, and as a human being, having a poor experience with some customers will probably pass on to other customers, etc...

I'd go as far as having a job with "wait" in the name, and having to wait, calmy and happily or else you don't get your tip, is not so far from slavery.

Some concrete advantages that come from a simple, uniform, machine-readible syntax that your text editor itself can understand and manipulate:

- It makes editing and refactoring code faster. With a single keystroke you can do things like popping bits of code in or out of scope, deleting logical blocks of code etc. It's fast.

- It's hard to explain without trying it, but it is faster and less error prone to e.g. grab a section of code inside a function and break it out into a separate function. If your lisp is functional this is even smoother (hy is not as functional as it could be last time I checked).

- You never have to think about syntax. Python for example has different syntax for different operations and introduces new syntax relatively frequently. By contrast in a lisp the syntax for setting a variable looks the same as the syntax for looping and for everything else. It's all just function calls.

- If you have an nREPL set up (it's like the python repl but it's an API your editor can talk to) it makes it easier to run segments of code that are embedded inside other bits of code. E.g. you might have some complicated piece of maths or string manipulation in a function. You can run and try it out in isolation without executing the entire function.

- Metaprogramming. This is a bit overhyped for most programmers, but having the code as a data structure means you can add new language features from your own code, build DSLs, and have code that modifies other code more easily than in other languages. I try not to use metaprogramming and macros much, but I use a lot of things that smarter people than me have made with them.

These features are a bit hard to appreciate without trying them. Highly recommended!

Guy here, who programmed the C++ implementation of Operator: It was a pleasure to build the instrument together with Robert, and I learned a ton from him.

In the 2009 upgrade I replaced the aliasing wavetables with bandlimited ones, generated using IFFT, one per octave. With 2x oversampling, it became aliasing-free as long as you didn’t use FM. When adding the IFFT, the feature of drawing harmonics also became obvious.

Fun fact: The four oscillators were calculated in parallel using SSE intrinsics. It’s the only time I’ve ever been able to improve the performance of something using that particular technology.

For me personally, Operator is a pinnacle of my engineering career - It is one of the most-used synthesizers in the world, though of course, there are much better ones out there.

Is the employment market actually giving you that?

Anecdotally, I knew a handful of FAANG engineers with 10+ years experience who had gone full remote before the pandemic, and dozens more during/since. Those are the creme-de-la-creme of the employment market, and they are all hanging out at startups who are willing to play ball on full remote, to get access to talent they otherwise couldn't remotely afford...
As much as it sounds like it would make sense, I haven't seen any hints that they are developing Proton for macOS. That seems like it would be evident from open source changes, if it was happening.

I think Valve is reluctant to get any closer to Apple, or any large platform owner for that matter. They want to stay independent and own their own destiny. They even tried to get away from Microsoft with Steam Machines. It failed back then, but the Steam Deck is the continuation of that effort.

I often recommend a "embrace, extend, extinguish" approach to AWS: Starting there for simplicity is fine, then "wrap" anything bandwidth intensive with caches elsewhere (every 1TB in egress from AWS will pay for a fleet of Hetzner instances with 5TB included, or one or more dedicated servers).

Gradually shift workloads, leaving anything requiring super-high durability last (optionally keeping S3, or competitors, as a backup storage option) as getting durability right is one of the more difficult things to get confidence in and most dangerous ones to get wrong.

Wrapping S3 with a write-through cache setup can often be the biggest cost win if your egress costs are high. Sometimes caching the entire dataset is worth it, sometimes just a small portion.
Maybe, maybe not.

However, management bought 8 hours of your time and not 4 when they hired you.
