It's novel because it's not how its done.

It's a big part of the stack rank hate is that people just blindly rank everybody and then adjust compensation that way. Taking more granular detail into account just isn't done.

But also because you're hired to do a job. If you do the criteria of the job then you should get a satisfactory rating. Similar to test taking, if you demonstrate knowledge of the material then you should pass. If you got 99/100 questions right and everybody else got 100/100 then you shouldn't get an F despite you being the worse of the group.

It's mostly down to what endianness was in use by stock firmware.

Yes, because transfer learning works. A specialized model for X will be subsumed by a general model for X/Y/Z as it becomes better at Y/Z. This is why models which learn other languages become better at English.

Custom models still have use cases, e.g. situations requiring cheaper or faster inference. But ultimately The Bitter Lesson holds -- your specialized thing will always be overtaken by throwing more compute at a general thing. We'll be following around foundation models for the foreseeable future, with distilled offshoots bubbling up/dying along the way.

Maybe but honestly, it doesn't make a ton of sense to me that something that is so power hungry it needs new power plants is going to save energy.

I'm also skeptical that AI can really model a chaotic system better than a.. chaotic system simulation. AI is a statistical pattern matcher. I'm really struggling to understand how that would be better at prediction than a simulation of the underlying phenomena. The whole thing seems like a solution in search of a problem.

Can anybody get it with educational pricing?
I have to disagree - the baseline models satisfy the needs of many casual consumers and the price point puts it within their reach. For $600, most of us could give this to our parents and it would be great for 7-10 years.

For those who need more performance, better value is found at higher rungs of the product lineup, and this has been Apple's strategy for decades.
Thanks for taking a stab at it! I think I understand the angle you're attempting to take. May I offer a relatively contrived counterexample to poke at this a little more deeply?

Suppose I have a proposition that says, roughly, "if A and B and C then contradiction". Furthermore, suppose that A and B together are already contradictory, and B and C together are also already contradictory.

Now I can construct two proofs, one in which I use A and B (but not C) to yield the desired result, and another in which I use B and C (but not A).

In what way can we say that these two proofs are essentially the same? It appears that each uses potentially rather distinct information in order to derive the expected contradiction; it isn't clear how to go from a proof that avoids A to a proof that avoids C in a smooth way.

We can reasonably expect

1) external storage to become faster and cheaper every year (subject to constraints around interface)

2) more and more digital assets to be cloud-native, e.g. photos stored exclusively on icloud and not on your computer

So I'm less worried about storage than some. If Asahi Linux achieves Proton-like compatibility with games [0], then we're getting closer to the perfect general purpose game console.

Yes! I'm much more inclined to write one-off scripts for short manual tasks as I can usually get AI to get something useful very fast. For example, last week I worked with Claude to write a script to get a sense of how many PRs my company had that included comprehensive testing. This was borderline best done as a manual task previously, now I just ask Claude to write a short bash script that uses the GitHub CLI to do it and I've got a repeatable reliable process for pulling this information.
Psychology and psychiatry often suffer from two fatal errors: medicalization and individualization.

When mental and behavioral issues are medicalized, they are reduced to a set of symptoms, as described in the article. They are often diagnosed subjectively, with the patient as an unreliable narrator, presenting in some clinical fashion. They are treated as medical disorders where medication is prescribed to confine and surveil the victim until he gets crazy enough to incarcerate.

Individualizing behavioral issues is also a grave error. We are social beings who exist in a community and a social context. We have relationships with other human beings. The etiology of mental illness often pertains to relationships and social environment. If a mentally ill person remains in a detrimental environment, they may never recover, despite the best of intentions and the strongest of medications.

A mentally ill person inhabits a world with damaged relationships to other humans. The mental illness can resolve itself 100% in this person's head and they still need to deal with the outside world. But mental health treatments seldom make allowances or confront relational issues, especially when they cannot be solved, such as a family, or in an institiutional setting where you just throw all the mentally ill people together in a looney bin and abandon all hope for those who enter there.
Do you think the animals in Busytown are all working their dream jobs and following their passions? Of course not -- as someone else pointed out, the butchers are all pigs!

But they mostly seem to have found something that they like well enough and contributes to society. And perhaps that's an important lesson to take away. Part of living a happy, fulfilling life is finding joy in what's attainable.
We're single process! Multi-process is opt in (it's useful to toss your telemetry and other non-critical code in a separate process so a crash doesn't take down everything), our units are libraries by default. When you make a launch file you're actually composing together libraries at runtime. We also support passing CUDA handles (or any runtime only struct) within a process. See https://github.com/basis-robotics/basis_test_robot/blob/main... - this is a struct containing a CUDA handle, it isn't copied to CPU nor serialized unless you request it over network (ie with Foxglove) or serialize it to disk.

As for why not capnproto - I'm more experienced with protobuf. No good reason, in this case, other than popularity.
> Internal candidates are usually at an advantage. Veterans always are.

The system is as you described. Internal candidates already know it and veterans, when transitioning out of uniformed service, get a full-blown class on it: how to prepare their "Federal resume" (which is unlike any resume that a reasonable person might otherwise prepare) and navigate the hiring process. So it's that on top of already having relevant experience and credentials or preference points.

I've been on the hiring side for Federal GS positions, and I'll tell you that it can be just as frustrating on that side too.
I'm responding to your second example simply because it's easy to argue about. I'd say that both proofs that you have presented are equivalent ways of saying that "since when you sum all the numbers from 1 to N you obtain a number that's N(N+1)/2, therefore, it is true that the sum of numbers from 1 to N is N(N+1)/2".

Now, this argument may appear trite but do consider that both of your proofs essentially do the same thing with the first one summing the numbers from extremities and the second one summing 1...N-1 first and then the last. I'd argue that if addition were not commutative, you may have obtained different results.

>"what is email address"

Anything you can send an email to that is received, as far as I am concerned. I have my own domain, so why ahould I be forced to add an arbitrarily long string to it to be able to receive the mail? Or exclude <site>@myDomain.com from being input on <site>?

Or the worst of the worst: Disallow all but a few domains for emails.

At this point, not validating it cient side at all is IMO the correct approach, and instead send a verification email.
> Oh, please. Nobody is saying that Rust is perfect (...)

This is the kind of fallacies that dominate Rust fanboy's discourse.

You start off by mindlessly commenting on "constant stream of CVEs", but when you're faced with the reality that Rust also piles up CVEs then you start to try to move goalposts around. Odd how you switched from CVE talk to vague allusions of "perfection", as if now CVEs don't matter.

That's the problem with your type of fanaticism: you stop makint technical claims and instead resort to sweeping baseless accusations,as if that was a positive trait on a language and it's community.

> “Correctly” isn’t a weasel word, especially not in the context of describing how a program functions.

It is. There is no way around it.

> My comment about easier to learn was written in the context of reaching the level needed to reliably write safe code (...)

Again with the goalpost-moving/weasel word combo.

Rust is notoriously unfriendly to beginners and imposes an unparalleled learning curve. Around a quarter of new developers outright give up and quit over how unusable it is to them. This is acknowledged by the Rust community itself as demonstrated by the last annual Rust survey. There is no way around it. I don't know why anyone would try to waste time handwaving over this.

> For example, Android reports halving their code rollback rate and a significant reduction in the number of vulnerabilities by (...)

Here's the problem with this sort of specious reasoning. You are cherry-picking an example of how a project invested heavily in memory safety and therefore ended up lowering vulnerabilities. You ignore how much work was invested into processes and prioritizing specific types of problems. You instead decide to ignore everything and anything, and opt to go the simplistic path of pretending that the only step required to achieve these gains is onboarding a magical tool, as if nothing else was a factor.

Do you understand how this blend of cargo cult mentality is silly and unproductive?

I get it that you feel the need to promote a tool you like. That's fine. But if you had a case you wouldn't feel compelled to frame all your arguments on artificial scenarios you try to pin on all other tools, would you?
I wouldn't say they "support" C17. Perhaps with a big asterisk. Even with C11, they implemented _parts_ of the standard, but didn't ship some of its libs (threads come to mind). Same deal in C17. Any hopes of porting over standard compliant C code to MSVC are met with lots of additional porting work.

Also, if we do move the discussion outside GCC and Clang, then I don't know what to say man. Why not use GCC or Clang? Are there many UNIX out there not having either? Seems unlikely.

'The Remarkable Life of Ibelin' Review: More Real Than Reality
Small correction: Cline is former Claude Dev.

yeah, it fascinates me - both Apple and Google started these new UI framework things after Flutter, and both didn't land it, but instead, landed some half-baked thing where individual components can render live in the IDE.

That may sound more useful than it is: think "oh I can specify a dummy title and subtitle for a list view cell in code, then open a special pane in the ide to preview a source file, and then resize the window to imitate different screen sizes!", not, oh there's a bug, fix, save, insta-reload, verified fix. No holistic screens, or loading info from a database, or mutating data.

I assume this is an extremely hard problem. I remember trying to get Obj-C hot reload working 15 years ago and it kinda half-worked some of the time. And its not like I can edit the C++ my Flutter app is linking against and get instareload.

But still, it's one of the things thats easy to point out and drives home that these once-a-decade-or-two frameworks started in response to React Native/Flutter aren't addressing the fundamentals of what made them a sea change. Industry is risk averse and we make too many decisions similar to staying on track to launch MacOS 9.110 in 2024, instead of biting the bullet to get OS X done.

Funny thing that when I look at it, $600 is objectively cheap, not only by Apple standards - I remember 8 or 9 years ago I really-really wanted a Mac Mini, but just couldn't afford the 320 EUR (including like 10 EUR IBMer discount) they asked for the base model back then, new. Inflation happens on strange ways...
TL;DR: You can't really replace a monitor wall with a single screen because it does not curve to create the right viewing angle, which makes text seriously unreadable at the edges, which forces you to seriously upscale the font size, which steals the largest amount of real estate possible. Of all the compromises to make, reducing the number of screens is one of the worst ones.

4k screens are already somewhat questionable for productivity for this reason alone. The only serious argument that can be made is 1440p vs 1080p (personally I would argue for 1080p, if using bitmap fonts and having perfect eyesight). A 4k monitor wall is a rather fringe setup, that only works out to an advantage for day traders and weird surveillance applications. And it requires that you constantly do very energetic body gymnastics to change your perspective's location and be able to see all the details. With a single 8k screen without upscaling font size (hence preserving all technical real-estate), the body gymnastics required would be so much worse than a 4k wall, it would be absolutely ridiculous and clown-alike and almost impossible to use while typing. Otherwise people mainly want big 4k/8k screens for dual use as a TV set. But this is just wrong in itself, it creates a paradox for no good reason, like using screwdrivers as chisels. Some things are not meant to be. The only arrangement where 4k makes some sense for common use cases, is maybe above a curved ultra widescreen.

Pre-assembled panels can have cable runs attached to them during the individual panel assembly.
It's probably within an order of magnitude but it's really just hobbyists, casuals and indies using it.

If you compare it to React Native there probably are more Flutter apps published but if you drill down into the top 1000 on each app store you would be lucky to find more than a few in most countries using Flutter whereas React Native definitely makes up more than 10%, maybe as high as 30% of non-game apps. I know on my phone I have zero Flutter based apps installed and almost 20% use React Native in some way.
