Somehow software engineers can be as dense as the MBA in the example.

I had a manager who used to be a dev. He remarked that a certain teammate is really productive and gets so much done. I asked how he knew and he said that when the teammate is on call he is able to close a large number of tickets.

I showed him that the teammate just closed all the tickets as “self resolved” or “can’t reproduce”.
That's not even close to what he said.

He's saying we already have completely fucked our reward system.

That's why 75%+ of American are literally eating themselves to death. And they can't stop. And no, "discipline" isn't a solution.

If anything, I'd say Ozempic brings our reward systems to be more in line with modern reality. Monkey brain doesn't work when you have the unhealthiest food available constantly at your finger tips.

Regardless of your stance on anything, it should be obvious we have a HUGE problem. I'm sorry, but a "do nothing and hope it works" approach is now off the table. We need real, tangible solutions. Not moral grandstanding.
Anyone know a nice iOS app to run these locally?
They do this with economic consumer price indices all the time. Swap out the stuff that people bought before with the new inferior alternative and call it even. You'll accept the garbage clothing and garbage food (bugs, soy crumbs, oat flavored water), cramped apartment, rushed doctor appointment, etc., and you'll like it.

Of course the root of the problem is inflation which is a result of debasement of the money, a consequence of unrestrained (federal) government spending.
X is basically 4chan now ... except with real government entities and media organizations on top of it which makes it pretty weird.

Lol, no. There are countries in which obesity is nonexistent.

Exactly. The standard playbook is to attack attempts to do this at the federal level by arguing it's a state decision, and attack attempts to do this at the state level using the excessively broadened Commerce Clause. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn was a horrible overreaching mistake, as was every other expansion of the Commerce Clause.

(There are different playbooks for passing laws that curtail personal rights, by arguing to do it at both the state and federal level, or removing federal prohibitions on something and then enacting it on a state by state basis while trying to pass the reverse at the federal level.)
Lack of focus on EV which leads to lower production volume (Chinese carmakers focused on EVs long before Tesla got popular), trend of over-sizing which means it's big and heavy, dogged obsession in road tripping rather than playing to EV's advantage in city driving, and of course Chinese carmakers get/got a healthy dose of subsidies.
Flagged because without code or even binaries there's no way to learn anything from this. Is the code memory safe? Does it gracefully handle error conditions? What tradeoffs were chosen?

Plenty of OSS "simple redis clones" exist with performance better than Redis. I think it would be more useful to re-post those than share this.

The tobacco companies bought all the food companies in the 80s and 90s and figured out how to make food "hyper-palatable (addictive)," by combining sugar (HFCS), salt (sodium) and fat.

Back in college we used a Pi (not the latest gen because their code was out of date but whatever) and being a local with a car, I volunteered to get them for classmates who couldn't. This was back when you could really only buy them in person or pay a 3-4x markup. Anyway, the prof let us know we'd need a pi, card, maybe a case, and maybe a power supply. A lot of people just wanted everything so they didn't have to worry about it. I think most beginners don't want to deal with this stuff and don't care if it's a marked up Samsung drive or marked up whoever uSD card. And now that I'm in industry, I agree. I wouldn't use a Pi but first party accessories are usually worth it vs the debugging hours to find out you bought garbage.
I got that but I am curious how to derive that number.

Is it representable as a non-trivial ratio of integers?
The Bloomberg SuperMicro implant in its various forms is an exceptionally poor example here: it's been widely criticized, never corroborated, and, Apple's Private Compute architecture has extensive mitigation against every type of purported attack in the various forms the SuperMicro story has taken. UEFI/BIOS backdoors, implanted chips affecting the BMC firmware, and malicious/tampered storage device firmware are all accounted for in the Private Compute trust model.
I suspect you are describing a large part of consumer behavior.

Someone gets a sporty-car, then starts working on the engine, the suspension, the exhaust, gets new rims and tire, new seats...

and in the end they could have bought a porsche

Thing is, it all depends on your use case.

For the pi, it is lots better for hardware projects than a nuc style machine, via the gpios/csi/dsi. and specialized hats. There is also a huge community of forums/documentation/people to help you do new things, solve problems, get unstuck.

But if you are doing linux PC kinds of things, like a nas or a media server, you need to do the math.

May I ask if anyone has successfully used 1B and 3B models in production and if yes, in what use cases? I seem to be failing even in seemingly simpler tasks such as word translation or zero-shot classification. For example, they seem to not care about instructions to only write a response and no explanation, thus making it impossible to use them in a pipeline :/
EVs are full of gimmicks because battery cost never hit $100/kWh and they have to justify the premium over ICE, that's it.
> I suppose it's theoretically possible the metal could have been made in China, exported elsewhere to make into the statue

First it's not theoretical where the metal is from, it's just been established. That is all that's been proven.

Second, I'm not aware of much international metals trade across the silk road circa 1290~. If that was the case.. I really would expect some documentation on it. Especially given Venice's historical diligence with recording trade.

Edit : "where the metal is from"
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/,?\s*dear\s*reader,?\s*/gi, ' ');

After that it's much more tolerable. It does leave me wishing it spent more time exploring the differences themselves and less time setting the stage for how it's different though! I want to learn how, what, and why, or what still needs to be done and how it may or may not impact things... not just that someone wrote code and it supposedly went fast in one set of tests.
The Commerce Clause serves no master. It can be used for federal overreach in either direction. For eg. without the a lot of regulatory behavior that the Congress does today is by relying on the Commerce Clause.

Rebuttal from Roberson's Defense to Statement from Office of Attorney General
So, here's the thing. A lot of people used to smoke, and say they liked to smoke. They liked the nicotine stimulant, of course, and the comfort of the well-practiced physical motions, and the closeness of a smoke-filled room, its association with style and elegance, and the chance to take a break from work activity. Some really got into different types of cigars, while others stuck with the same brand of cigarette their whole life.

Few of them found it depressing.

But certainly some did. They didn't like the stink on their clothes or how it overpowered the taste at a restaurant, or how it affected teeth, or negative health effects. Yet even some of these needed to learn to smoke in order to fit in, to land a deal, or to get promoted.

Just because you don't find your internet use depressing, doesn't mean someone else - even someone actively using the internet every day - can't be depressed by it.

It is very hard to have a normal life without the internet these days. Alternatives which were once common, like getting a paper local newspaper with real reporters and useful advertisements - and weather predictions for your area! - have often disappeared or cut back, meaning that yes, if you want the local weather prediction without bugging someone else every day, you have to use the internet.

Try to find a good paper map, which were once commonplace and given out free at gas stations, now often requires going to a specialist store, forcing you online even to get driving directions for your next appointment. Not everyone thinks that's a good thing, and might even find it depressing.

For one who considers FOMO and the need to feel on top of things as a mental weakness, then yes, seeing how so many people lack the patience to wait a few hours to know the scores of their favorite team can be depressing.

The World Book is the only paper encyclopedia available these days, making Wikipedia the de facto encyclopedia for everyone, when there used to be multiple encyclopedias, each with a different slant and focus. Granted, you might have to go to a library to access three different encyclopedia sets, while Wikipedia is available within seconds, but if you prioritize both diversity and high curation standards instead of time, the internet might be depressing.
Still a good reminder for all those who don’t know for whatever reason.

I have at work to deal with people that hear “caching” and they immediately answer “we have to install redis” - well no - I meant we can do local in-process caching of classes/variables/other structures that will be faster than calling redis over the network.
I do understand that the point the blog is making is the infectiousness. My point is when you drop the meaninglessness of blue/red and replace it with the more meaningful async/sync, this infectiousness goes from being arbitrary and annoying to completely natural, and even desirable. If all of a sudden you find yourself wanting to make some function async on top of a stack of 10 sync function calls, you're probably doing something ill-advised[1], and async/await making this difficult is valuable feedback on your design. Is this feedback useful in every system? No, just like static typing would be overkill for a five line shell script. But writing a paradigm off just because it makes it more difficult to set off certain footguns is, in my view, a mistake, and that's what irks me about this blog post.

[1] keeping business logic separate from infra logic is typically a good idea, see hexagonal architecture, or imperative shell functional core. Async/await is a convenient mechanism to guarantee maintaining this architectural choice, even for developers less familiar with this architecture.

> Congress is accorded very little power by the constitution, with most of it resting with "We the people" or the states.

It's a brilliant way to specify powers to a legislative body, essentially a nation-state equivalent of Linux's "don't break userspace" directive. In both cases objections can bubble up from the bottom to the top, with courts being the equivalent of a mailing list post, "Hey, this new code breaks my use case! Fucking change it back!"

In both cases one could argue about the implementation matching the aspirations of the concept. But to find the basic concept itself "bizarre" is to signal to the world that you don't understand one of the basic tenants of the constitution.
Honestly ? It’s hard to describe. It just works. C# solutions ? You have them. Git ? You have it. Jira ? Integrated. Want your branch to be named after your jira ticket ? It’s built in. A missing .NET framework ? You can install it in one click.

You don’t have to install any plugin to be productive. Though there is a rich ecosystem of plugins but it’s more to allow you to install "bonus" integrations and features where in VSCode it’s necessary because you basically have to build your own IDE. If you don’t install anything, it’s like VS : open your project, click on build, it’s built.

Just try it, in the first start you’ll be asked which keyboard bindings you want to use, just choose VSCode and you’ll feel at home.
Thanks for making this available. I don't understand why it isn't getting more attention. I hope you will release the GEM library, at some point, as it looks incredible too. Props to you.
"Arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion" is all more-or-less boilerplate legalese that was lifted straight out of the Administrative Procedure Act.

It's a reference to a specific level of evidentiary standard that the Act prescribes. Basically, the APA is generally deferential to the agencies deciding how to implement regulations, so challengers have to demonstrate that the implementation in question represents an unreasonable abuse of power.

What it really boils down to, though, is that they're complaining that the FTC didn't make a strong enough case that the burdens this rule imposes on service providers are proportional to the consumer protection benefit.
I say just break it up and give the contracts to the smaller firms that are already doing the outsourced work. Cut out the boeing middle man and get higher quality.
> I think I still have to stand by my belief that semaglutide won’t truly solve people’s relationship with food though.

That sounds fair. I see a lot of over/under weight results as a symptom of a maladaptive coping mechanism for some other issue. Sometimes the issue is simply not having meaning in one's life, but it really can be anything from depression, to anxiety, to lack of friends because of social phobias or low self-esteem.

Looking at this this way helped me find more compassion and less contempt. I hope it helps you too

Draw them as great circles. And in any case, yes, switching between the cool 3D projection and a "show everything at once" 2D map would work.
Yeah, I've edited my comment above and added the last paragraph with a note about it. Must be a really weird use case when you need to write a bunch of code in different languages (probably writing libraries for some API or JSON-based data interchange format?), and is also not concerned about validation and language - because if you need validation, you're writing code by hand either way, so code generation becomes a curse rather than a blessing.

I would've understood if it would do the inverse - read source code in any of the supported languages, and check if the structures it define it conforms to the schema. That would make sense for testing that those structs aren't too diverging between codebases (have the same-shaped fields). Even then I'm not sure I see the point because various languages tend to use different language-specific things (like an UUID type or enums/symbols/atoms, etc.) to make developer feel at home rather than in a barren JSONland.
Completely valid. The 3D globe is cool, it's just awkward to get the data out of.
Yes, but the org is not in sufficient distress for this to occur yet. It needs to be brought closer to failure for adults to step in (vs folks trying to keep a money printing machine within their control).
"Getting called "Paid Actor" by Linus Torvalds"

Sounds like a resume line item to me 8-)

At least its more sophisticated than calling someone a "wanking walrus", or saying they should have been aborted.

Jokes aside though, this whole situation is very disturbing.

One would hope that free software developers would be more aware than to equate the identity and actions of a nation state with the identity of each and every one of it's geographic inhabitants.

I'm a US citizen, I massively disagree with a lot of what the US government does, especially WRT warfare which is basically mass murder. I would very much expect that many Russian people feel the same way about their government's actions.

From another, completely different argument, when there is conflict, cutting off communications with the conflicting party is counterproductive, e.g. barring Russians from chess tournaments, scientific conferences, etc.

Lastly, how effective can this removal of committers even be? If an account is truly a Russian state operative, does LF actually think that actor would be unable to establish a false account from a US location?

Maybe the way the whole thing played out was really Linus' personal "Scandinavian angst" about Russian aggression? There is a real history there, and Linus does cite his Finnish heritage in the email. If that's the case, we're back to calling people wanking walrus, and it's just another over emotional outburst from Linus, which would be a less concerning cause than the systematic elimination of Russian contributors by the LF organization.

The problem is these are individual solutions. We have a societal-wide problem. These solutions are therefore useless. You can't solve societal problems with individual solutions.

For example, I can't say "people shouldn't steal because it's immoral". It's true, and for me or you that might be enough to keep us from stealing. This is an individual solution.

The societal solution is how do you demotivate people from stealing? Now we're not talking about morals. We're talking about economics, poverty, crime prevention, the criminal-industrial complex, etc.

If you're waiting around for the day that American "culture" magically reverses itself and everyone wants to be healthy by their own accord, it will never come.

If you want an example of changing "culture", look at smoking. Hint: it has nothing to do with "being healthier". The changes we made were not about that.
This website in particular tends to get very upset and is all too happy to point out irrelevant counter examples every time I point this out but the actual ground truth of the matter here is that you aren’t going to find yourself on a US intel targeting list by accident and unless you are doing something incredibly stupid you can use Apple / Google cloud services without a second thought.

Semantic search is a powerful tool that can greatly improve the relevance and quality of search results by understanding the intent and contextual meaning of search terms. However, it’s not without its limitations. One of the key challenges with semantic search is the assumption that the answer to a query is semantically similar to the query itself. This is not always the case, and it can lead to less than optimal results in certain situations.

Handling fragmentation is likely the bigger problem. There are some questions about revokation, demand paging, and probably some other things that I am forgetting, but most of those have potential, non-intrusive solutions.

However I have not seen anything that effectively handles fragmentation. Maybe you could do some sort of transparent compaction in conjunction with “demand paging” in the relocated area, but that would be very intrusive and likely only provide runtime guarantees like a system using a compacting GC.
Yeah definitely should be something modern and respectable like Hugging Face

This is remarkably business-as-usual for airplane electronics.

As a more mundane example: the wifi on planes does temporary [edit: DHCP, not NAT] leases. But the system on many has expiration windows on the order of hours, possibly more than a day... Couple that with the number of passengers planes serve and busy routes can easily exhaust the lease pool.

The solution: there's a button the flight attendants can push to reboot the router, dumping the lease table.
