Alex Sidebar: The Cursor for Xcode
I used that same model for 5 years until I finally upgraded in 2017 and totally regretted it, the upgrade was not worth it at all, I would have been just as happy with the 2012. I quickly replaced it again with the "Mea Culpa" 2019 where they added back in ports, etc, would have been just about worth the upgrade over the 2012, 7 years later, but again, not by a big margin.

The 2012 MBP 15" Retina was probably the only machine I bought where the performance actually got better over the years, as the OS got more optimized for it (the early OS revisions had very slow graphics drivers dealing with the retina display)

The M1 Pro on the other hand, that was a true upgrade. Just a completely different experience to any Apple Intel laptop.

I guess the thing for me is that my one open source project of note was an accident and from what I gather most male open source founders are similar. For example, Linux is notorious for being Linus's hobby project that hit it big.

So while I can see why a toxic community would stop women from contributing to an existing project, I think the 'starting' a project would be more interesting to look at. Most open source projects start by accident not intent. One would expect women to not have the same probability as men of a project hitting it big presuming they make the code public.
> such as a desire to be female.

...or more often to capitalize on the short term, early benefits (attention, leniency, opportunity, etc) often offered to women. This (males using a female name + character) is a common practice in multiplayer games.

Hi GenAIScript dev here, you'll find the readme at https://github.com/microsoft/genaiscript. Thanks for your feedback!
What about all those libs and executables you likely install via brew, npm, cargo etc? Those are all applications
I confess I find it surprising that they code differently. That is, my prior would be that there is no real difference based solely on sex. Their may be differences based on education. But why sex?
It's quite literally not. Root is technically a user with extra rights (including modifying the kernel, but there is still an API the root user has to go through). This is running as part of the kernel. It's not running in userland "as root".

A rootkit is something that gives other users the power of root.
I do, and I don't find it too bad. I switched from DDG back to Google recently because I realised I had to use !g on most of my searches.
yeah, that is super intersting for sure.

it is a crippling of language.

I figured he was mostly talking about using dedup on your work (dev machine) computer or family computer at home, not on something like a cloud or streaming server or other back end type operations.
The value proposition of Cerebras is that they can compile existing graphs to their hardware and allow inference at lower costs and higher efficiencies. The title does not say anything about creating or optimizing new architectures from scratch.
You don't need to append 'p' in the inner while loop more than once. Maybe instead of an array for keeping the list of prime factors do it in a set.
I would think VMs qualify as a specific workload, since cloning is almost a given.
General-purpose deduplication sounds good in theory but tends not to work out in practice. IPFS uses a rolling hash with variable-sized pieces, in an attempt to deduplicate data rysnc-style. However, in practice, it doesn't actually make a difference, and adds complexity for no reason.
Your mindset is sadly a decade put of touch. Companies long since shifted to churn mentality. They not only slashed retention perks, they actively expect people to move around every few years. So they don't bother stopping them or counter offering unless they are a truly exceptional person.
This is actually an interesting rabbit hole. Their other constraint is that they are trying to be transparent and fair, for some definition of that word. They need that for Section 230 protections, they need it to fend off antitrust lawsuits, etc.

So, there is a huge problem with hiring experts and telling them to make subjective decisions. Instead, Google publishes guidelines for webmasters and then enforces them rigidly. This usually ends up penalizing some good sites, while spammers swiftly discover workarounds.
Could also be that women are less interested in an industry dominated by people who assume women are inferior
While I generally agree, I'd also hesitate to wager against them being correlated.
Often it's the opposite. When you aren't very good at something, you have to work twice as hard. I've met plenty of men who thought that programming was cool so they became obsessed with learning how to code without having the innate skills. It mostly doesn't work out, but during that period of time, they were more interested in learning to code than a lot of programmers. And many do try open source. That's why there are a lot of junk pull requests on Hacktoberfest.
Agree. Using LLMs from code is already so easy I don't see why a developer would need something like this.

In one evening I whipped up a lib for talking to ollama, usings agents, tool use, sandboxed code execution etc. and that was doing it the hardish way, from scratch.

This seems like a decent collection of tools but anyone able to use this could already do the same things with normal JS with not a lot of effort.

I think you meany Mac mini there. It was definitely built as the gateway into the Mac ecosystem. Swap your tower for a Mac mini, and keep using the rest of your old hardware.
One of the early ideas was to make the scripting syntax as lightweight as possible. Thus not requiring to install or import anythying to start writing a prompt (the project evolved). Definitely inspired from google/zx.
I'm 47 and I also have never heard this in my life. So I don't think it's just a matter of younger generations.
The minimum number of colleagues you could have had to arrive at those ratios is 400. Assuming you've had 400 colleagues, we can break down your ratios into:

- 380 men

- 19 women producing good code

- 1 woman producing bad code

I think the error bars on that one woman would be quite large, too large to draw any conclusions.

Now if I guessed wrong and you've actually had not 400, but tens of thousands of colleagues who you've been secretly tracking and ranking in your spare time, maybe you'd have enough data to draw a conclusion.
> This is a huge problem. I don't know where it comes from

I think it's a bunch of things, but one legitimate issue is that software is stupidly complex these days. I had the advantage of starting when computers were pretty simple and have had a chance to grow along with it. (And my dad started when you could still lift up the hood and look at each bit. [1])

When I'm working with junior engineers I have a hard time even summing up how many layers lie beneath what they're working on. And so much of what they have to know is historically contingent. Just the other day I had to explain what LF and CR mean and how it relates to physical machinery that they probably won't see outside of a museum: https://sfba.social/@williampietri/113387049693365012

So I get how junior engineers struggle to develop a belief that the can sort it all out. Especially when so many people end up working on garbage code, where little sense is to be had. It's no wonder so many turn to cargo culting and other superstitious rituals.

On major remodels or with compelling features. I had an i9 MacBook Pro and then upgraded to anM1 MacBook Pro because it was a major leap forward. However, I will wait until the MacBook Pro is redesigned yet again (maybe thinner and lighter as I travel a lot and carry-on weight is limited), apparently in 2026 or so with OLED and other features, rumors say.
Wow, that is a violent weapon
Great add to the PG ecosystem, and looking forward to kicking the tires.

Is that not true for Portugal, or Finland in the other direction for example? I haven’t seen clear reasons for why a 1-hour offset would seriously affect economic relations particularly if it doesn’t affect when businesses are operating. Spain is already known (in stereotypes, so not sure if this holds up in reality) for later start/end times to the workday or other engagements than most western/central European countries, probably partly a figment of the time zone.
GenAIScript does not collect any data/usage analytics. The LLM query is sent to the provider you configured. Hope this helps answer your question?
You can't just arbitrarily change (confounding) variables like that for a proper experiment. All other factors (including physique) must remain the same while you change one thing only: occupation.
It's like blockchain right now. I'm sure there is some killer feature that can justify its problem space.

But as of now the field is full of swamps. Of grifters, of people with a solution looking for a problem. Of outright scams of questionable legality being challenged as we speak.

I'll wait until the swamps work itself out before evaluating an LLM workflow.
And, despite being an avid homebrew user, I've never had a problem there.
Whats the alternative? Linux? Maybe OP likes that their OS doesnt crash when they close their laptop lid.
They can detect an interaction, but they can't prove that it's quantized without (I believe) sub-Poissonian statistics[0], which requires detecting enough events and with enough certainty that it would require planet-scale machinery.

> Now graviton chasers find themselves in a peculiar position. On the main facts, everyone is in agreement. One, detecting a quantum event sparked by a gravitational wave is — surprisingly — possible. And two, doing so would not explicitly prove that the gravitational wave is quantized. “Could you make a classical gravitational wave that would produce the same signal? The answer is yes,” said Carney, who along with two co-authors analyzed this type of experiment in Physical Review D(opens a new tab) in February.

I agree that withdrawing an offer is rare but you have to be OK with some non-zero chance of withdrawal if you’re going to negotiate with only a single offer in hand.

You’re making the negotiating mistake of projecting onto counterparties. “I wouldn’t pull an offer except to an asshole” becomes, “My counterparty won’t withdraw the offer unless I’m an asshole.”

If you absolutely 100% need a job and can leave nothing to chance then you should probably not negotiate with only a single offer in hand.
If you wanted a MacBook Air, that was also upgraded to 16GB of RAM for the base model for the same price.
GenAIScript here. Yes it could be available as a library to fit but it'll require a bit of refactoring on our part.
These metrics are mostly superficial.
The whole design of an LLM is to consume and compress a huge space of human-generared content and use that to predict how a human would reply, one token at a time. That alone means the LLM isn't modelling anything beyond the human content it was trained on, and there is no reasoning since every prediction is based only on probabilities combined with controls similar to randomization factors used to avoid an entirely deterministic algorithm.
Lack of censorship.
That assumption is also wrong, and while less insulting on a surface level, I’m not sure it’s any less harmful. Women are interested in all STEM fields but have historically not been treated as capable because they’re women. We have tons of data on that, including experiments where using a feminine or masculine name changes how contributions are received.

There are statistical studies that find Autism Spectrum Disorder is over represented in both trans and computer programmers.

It is likely that this is more than anecdata.

And trans are also over represented because of this connection.
Electromagnetism is both a continuous wave and a discrete particle, so it makes sense to me that a continuous spacetime curvature could also be a discrete particle at the same time. (Keeping in mind we're not talking about tangible shapes but mathematical models that describe aspects of reality that are hard for humans to intuitively conceptualize.)

Of course, our idea of how to reconcile quantum gravity with general relativity is much less developed than our understanding of electromagnetism and the nuclear forces.
> "The $3.57 you save on capacitors per unit will cost you $50 in lost good will."

Or it might cost you $0 in lost good will, and will gain you $5 in sales because many price-sensitive people will buy the thing that's cheapest, without doing an omniscient analysis of its quality.

Not to mention that gold-plating your capacitors won't do you much good if some other part is expected to fail first.

Darn, I was hoping for some intriguingly thing like a culturally-bound food tolerance or a missed special preparation step, but it's a more-generic issue of Staph bacteria. [0]

Note that the problem comes from a chemical toxin in the food, rather than a direct infection. That's why the symptoms can be very rapid, and it also means that the food might be fully-cooked... It just wasn't cooked soon enough to stop the bacteria from leaving a nasty heat-durable surprise behind.

Typically kustomize and plain YAML - I like “infrastructure as data”. For IaC tho I’ve been enjoying Pulumi which has been a hit for my Typescript loving developer friends.
The problem with "more logical" here is that it's completely subjective.

The beauty of the "English clock", which isn't English at all, is that it simply defines a way to refer to the same point in time with a number (never mind that Daylight savings" nonsense) and you can refer to it whether you are a farmer, a software developer, a waiter, you live Africa or the arctic circle all the same.
GnuPG and PGP are a shit show. Just make an encrypted drive volume instead.
Interesting concept, but some of the pictures are a bit weird. There’s one with Biden and Harris in a practically romantic embrace.
The real solution is games designed for playing with friends and treat all non-friend players as potentially malicious.

Early first-person shooter games had this figured out (small servers with 20-30 regular players, the server admin could choose to ban you), RTS games have this figured out, many MMOs have this figured out (interact with non-friends sometimes, but they have to 'join your party', etc.)

Playing with random strangers on the internet who may want to grief/destroy your game, be incredibly toxic, or cheat against you in general.. that's the cost of playing with random people in a completely public forum.
It might not just be people assuming they're inferior; it could also be that they have an unwelcoming or uncomfortable culture. For instance, if it's dominated by men who have eccentric interests that the women don't share, that might not seem to be an appealing group to get into. Worse, if it's dominated by men who are all interested in them romantically/sexually to the point where it feels like harassment, that wouldn't be appealing either.
Relevancy filtering is more for network traffic optimization, it doesn't really help with cheating in most cases. In a FPS, for example, the actors the cheater most wants to know about are almost always also network relevant.

But taking a step back, for fast games (like an FPS), the latency requirements drive you to send semi-secret info to the client (like the positions of other players), and so that's where things start to break down. But the traffic in the other direction is a problem too, as you have all of the scenarios in which the messages to the server (e.g. aim info, timing of weapon of firing) can be spoofed or engineered.

The motivation for the client-side anti-cheat systems is to extend as far as possible the envelope of what is considered trustworthy - i.e. if they can't solve the latency problem, then they try to make the client more trusted.

It's impossible to completely solve the problem, so it's about finding a solution that solves as much of the problem as possible. Unfortunately the main thing going for kernel anti-cheat is that most users don't care that they have to let someone root their machines to play a game, though the tide would likely turn if there were a high publicity exploit.
Ah that's cool, it seems to be better than the one Samsung released.
And the price is not too bad.

Is Asus going to make "cheap" Macs better with their display offering, that would be kind of hilarious.
But yes, if that display is half decent, it makes entry level Mac Mini pretty good, at least you can get a sub 2k setup.
Pretty cool, comfy ui and community is too cumbersome for me and still results in too much throwaway content

Wow, this is impressively brutal. I don't know anything about search or ranking these days, but the way insist on putting an AI summary at the top of every page definitely is good evidence for the theory that Google doesn't give a damn about the people doing all the actual work that makes a search engine valuable.
The site also disables the back button (on mobile Chrome).

I have no idea why the site owner thinks their site was downranked (and the article never says: it assumes some context I lack), but I cynically wonder if it's related to the back-button and video-ad thing.

Classical waves do all of those things too.
They send a hash of the binaries/libraries, and generate a cache locally so it's not sent again. That helps stop you from running tampered-with binaries and frameworks. No user-personal data is sent.

There is no evidence at all that they are trying to ensure you can only run things from the App Store - I run a whole bunch of non-app-store binaries every single day. To make that claim is baseless and makes me de-rate the rest of what you write.

There is always a trade-off between privacy and security. This still falls well under the Google/Android/Chrome level, or indeed the Microsoft/Windows level with its targeted ads, IMHO.

Choose your poison, but this works for me.
I don't think tax evasion is something one should recommend people do.

Sure – Apple are trying to stop people who don't know what they're doing from getting hurt. Hence the strong scrutiny on what is allowed on the App Store (whether it's reasonable to charge 30% of revenue is an entirely different question).

People who are installing things using a terminal are probably (a) slightly computer savvy and (b) therefore aware that this might not be a totally safe operation.
"Muscle memory" has always seemed like a terrible name for that kind of skill. A ball will be thrown to a slightly different location every time. There's no memory evolved there at all, its just calculations and predictions happening at a level that our conscious mind doesn't seem to see or recognize.
