I recently used ChatGPT canvas to improve a friend's resume. I had managed him in the past, and he is great to work with. However, from his resume you would never know it. I did 3 hours worth of editing and improvement in 5 minutes. I gave rambling descriptions of what he had done when working for me and why it was impressive, and GPT translated this into resume speak almost instantly. I then gave some vague suggestions for improvement, made a couple minor edits to buff off the AI veneer, and viola, he had a professional resume that will help him do great work in his next position.
building it is the most valuable part
The most annoying thing is when you google some question or problem, you find a forum where someone is asking your exact same question and people just tell them to google it. :D
At least for Europe it is applicable too. The Bologna process aligned the whole landscape with the very basics of the US system.
You need to make sure your measurements are actually representative of the flow regime you will actually have. You need to look at Reynolds number and mach number. If you use the actual model and don't use a small scale model, you just need to use the same flow speed as you will use in the application later. Then you could theoretically measure drag force and look at vortices to check where to modify the shape.
Has the market spoken? Time to pick up Golang and Rust?
So it's been a decade-long round-trip from IC to management to senior manager back to IC.

And in the time you see some skills develop while others atrophy. And some new skills appear on the market that I'm shallow in.

In this case that could be Golang and Rust. (Lets not talk about how I feel about the Javascript ecosystem)

But, man, it is hard to let go of the cozy warm and lazy blanket Django and the python ecosystem gives us, isn't it?

The irony here is that I'm incredibly productive in the Django stack, but relative to the many jobs out there -- it seems many Rust and Golang positions go unfilled.

So, what is a guy to do? Daddy has to eat, and I am mercenary at heart.

So here we are -- back on the learning curve and ramping up on Golang and Rust.

In principle, yes, a wind tunnel would help you create a car that is either faster or more efficient, or to improve the ground effect, or let you control it better. It does that by letting you check the places where the airflow becomes chaotic, that can't be simulated very well.

On practice I doubt you are trying to optimize a tiny car. And the chaotic flow is very dependent of scale. So the only parts that transfer from a tiny car into a normal one are the ones that are easy to simulate.
Your concern is the hardware auditors are not trustworthy because Apple hired them?

I mean that’s fair but I don’t think the goal here is to offer that level of guarantee. For example their ceremony involves people from 3 other Apple organizational units, plus the auditor. It’s mostly Apple doing the certification. They’re not trying to guard too heavily against the “I don’t trust Apple is trying to fool me” concern.

What this does protect you from is stuff like a rogue internal actor, software vulnerability, or government subpoena. The PCC nodes are “airtight” and provably do not retain or share data. This is auditable by the whole security community and clients can verify they are communicating with an auditable binary. It’s not just a white paper.

That’s an enormous step up from the status quo.
It's easy to view pornography online regardless of age. That's what we are talking about.

Here are my leftist views: No one should have more than $10 million of wealth. Everyone should have a place to live, food, and healthcare. Healthcare should be free at the point of usage. The U.S. should stop funding Israel. Higher education should be free. Churches should pay tax on the property they own. Donations to charity should not be tax deductible. Public transportation should be heavily subsidized and greatly expanded. The DOD and CIA and NSA should be greatly reduced in size and scope. Elections should be publicly funded so that each candidate gets an equal amount of funding. Abortion should be legalized everywhere. Homeschooling should be outlawed.
It was on a loopback interface. The problem was CPU usage, not bandwidth costs.
Security in outside plant isn't free either. We're a long way away from widespread outages because someone thought they could get high with the proceeds of a stolen satellite, but there are lots of disruptions when people take down pole mounted fiber because they thought it would be worth something.
There are good reasons to increase the size though, mainly it being one of the smallest Supreme Courts in the world.
I think your use of the phrase "completely unprovoked" is ridiculous and pointed you to a pretty obvious clue why that is obviously false
> I've been hoping there exist techniques more systematic than "see what values change between memory snapshots".

FWIW this is pretty much the standard method for locating value locations in RAM. It actually works pretty well. Some emulators have tools built in for that, like Dolphin for example. Even old game hacking tools like the Gameshark for N64 used the technique, with an on-console UI. I don't know if any Dreamcast emulators have tools for it or not.

I wrote about the technique in Dolphin here (and the followup article is also about console game hacking with Ghidra): https://www.smokingonabike.com/2021/01/17/hacking-super-monk...
I don't doubt that the mechanisms, if used properly, are capable. My point is that the culture that tends to grow up around monorepos is one where those mechanisms aren't used properly.

> If you aren't going to use those gatekeeping mechanisms in a mono repo I doubt that the quality of your separate repo codebases are going to be any better

Those are pretty different competencies right? Getting the monorepo in good shape requires a broad understanding of what is where and who is who (and the participation of your neighbors). Making your repo a nice place for visitors to contribute to... you can learn to to that by emulating repos found anywhere.
Sometimes GPT 4 is ok. I often (1 in 50 times probably) have to switch to o1.
Seems like Sonnet 3.5 (new) is optimized to solve all task well, but when there is complex problems it have never seen before o1 does better.

Using o1 I often find that it does not change the code, so switching back to Sonnet and ask to make the code changes and it often works.

It seems like every product manager (or program manager) or maybe all the way down to staff have got “incorporating AI” as some kind of KPI - on which your performance is measured.
The designs are complicated, well, because in practice it's not as simple as "put these rocks next to each other and they get hot". When you put the rocks next to each other, they not only get hot, but also emit some nasty radiation that has to be shielded. And if the rocks get a liiiitle bit too close together, they might explode, which leads to huge headaches for everyone involved, so you'd better make sure that doesn't happen...
Not that I find your argument invalid, but you’re not arguing against GP.

At risk of belaboring the point or being redundant, GP is making the point that the Celsius vs Fahrenheit meaning of the arrays makes them Semantically different and therefore the equality could Be taken to be misleading when this is taken into account. GP thinks this is nonsense and draws a parallel with named tuples.
Apple MacBook Pro with M4 Max Review: Another Performance Leap
No you're absolutely right.

I was inartfully making a claim that voter apathy is a big thing, and as a result no winner can ever really claim to represent a majority of Americans.

IIRC 2020 was the only election of modern times where any candidate garnered more support than "did not vote." Putting it clearly here: neither Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan garnered support of the majority of Americans. It's not a partisan argument I am making here.

A form of government where a third or 40% of the governors routinely fail to exercise their duty has problems.
And nowadays it faces a marketing issue because it's extensible, so none of those problems go away because a solution exists somewhere.

"Hey, I want to set up a modern messenger."

"Sure! Here's XMPP, the ten extensions you need to enable and configure (problem left as an exercise for the reader), and the seven ports you need to open!"

"... Okay? A Matrix node is apparently a drop-in solution; I'm gonna use that."

XMPP is in desperate need of a Docker image that Just Works and the wizard to set up that Docker image. And then you need users savvy enough to have their clients configured correctly.
I found it pretty easy to go from Python to Golang. I'm still learning Rust, and finding it to be much more sophisticated that Python and Golang.
Lots of handwaving there. Particularly with "and I can (locally) do stuff"

Good luck with all of that.
How to attract the other side? Bernie Sanders said it best: "It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them."

Dems needed to recognize that most people are self-interested and will become more so as hardships increase, and hardships have definitely increased since 2020.

And minority groups yelling in fear online need to recognize that showing interest in the average working American doesn't mean you want to jail or kill those minority groups.

So sorry if you think Republicans want to jail and kill you, but the reality is people are suffering and they chose the party that was showing the most interest in the average working American. I am pretty confident 90% of Trump voters would swap him for Vance or any other more cogent human who was championing workers rights.
Slightly rambling partial agreement ahead, sorry, I struggle with how I feel about this and need to write something longer somewhere:

I think there's a tendency to dismiss this argument in the XMPP community (but there's a lot of truth to it, I choose to use the XMPP desktop clients but none of them are as nice to use as any big commercial IM providers client), but also a tendency for people to make this argument without realizing that they're comparing open source projects run by one or two people to VC funded projects with a company backing them. Of course Discord or Element or whatever will be "better" in some ways, they have a team and millions of VC funding behind them. However, one of the many reasons I chose to use XMPP back in the day when I was first evaluating whether to use it or Matrix, and one of the big reasons I got more heavily involved in the community later, was specifically because the standards body wasn't strictly tied to a company looking for VC funding (and all the individual client/server projects I've contributed to are the same). But, this does mean there aren't really any clients that I'm in love with (but there are clients for every random niche platform imaginable, which I think is probably more important personally).

All that being said, try Snikket if you haven't. It's relatively new, but I think they're really doing a good job of creating a suite of clients that can be recommended to "normies" who don't want to sacrifice shiny graphics for the sake of using something that's a bit more free from VC influence.
It might take a little more than that to update the Judiciary Act of 1869 that defined the current number of justices on the court.

Roughly turbulence scales according to

if you adjust things so that the Reynolds number is the same for the model and the real thing.

Somebody in the next building over had a "wind tunnel" that used this stuff

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride

which is 5 times denser than air and has a higher Reynolds number. Oddly SF6 is safe to breathe (as an inert filler gas such as Nitrogen, Argon or Helium) but is also one of the most powerful known GHGs.
hunting and fishing is almost entirely failure after failure with small opportunities and even smaller wins. these guys are all lifers and dont take things too seriously.

Et tu, Notepad?

Seriously, no one writes with Notepad. It's just for quick copy-paste text manipulation. That's it. No need for gen-AI.

He had substantial gains in every single one of those communities, as far as I'm aware. Not 100% confident about Puerto Ricans but I've seen the numbers on the others.

In fact, Latino turnout is pushing half and half, an unprecedented showing for a Republican candidate in that community. That single fact should have you carefully questioning the truth of what you've said.
I sometimes wonder if the problem is at least partly because people don't think someone should get paid to have fun. Musicians, artists, writers, etc are basically asking to be paid to pursue their hobbies full time, and 9-5 office workers are like "good one, lol".
Nope, the deliberate parent is the best parent.

"Good enough" as a term contains subtext that nudges some readers towards less effort, less striving, less personal growth for the sake of the 'new' and growing responsibility.

But inhibiting advice seeking parents and teachers to reduce 'systemic competition' is a thing and some people write books about it.

Tip for naming, create a naming module where you pass in stuff like product, environment, region, service, have a bunch of locals for each thing like S3 bucket, RDS, EC2, EKS whatever you use then make them all outputs.

So at top of your IaC, you have module naming {variables as inputs} then all other resources are aws_s3 { name = module.naming.s3bucket }
It is not true that coal is more radioactive than spent nuclear fuel. It's very much the opposite: SNF is 10^11 times more radioactive than coal per kilogram, or 10^6 times more radioactive per energy unit.

Per the EPA, US coal has, at the high end, 10^3 Becquerel/kg of natural radioactivity [0].

Spent nuclear fuel has 3 million Curies/tonne (33 MWd/kg burnup fuel, at the age of 1 year) [1], which is equal to 10^14 Bq/kg. Since 33 MWd/kg is an energy density a factor of 10^5 greater than that of coal, the normalized ratio of [radioactivity]/[energy] is 10^6.

The graph in [1] depicts the decay of SNF activity on a log-log scale. It reaches the same radioactivity level as coal (again, normalized by energy output) at about 1 million years.

I'm fairly confident I know the origin of this social media-popular pseudofact. It's this poorly-titled Scientific American [2] article from 2007, which is about the (negligible) amount of radioactivity that nuclear plants release into the environment in the course of routine operation. It is *not* about spent fuel. It's a fair—but nuanced and easy to grossly misunderstand—point that coal power plants throw up all their pollution into the environment in routine operation, while nuclear plants, by default, contain theirs.

> Neutrons make hardware radioactive

True, but two caveats:

1. Neutron bombardment due to fusion makes hardware radioactive for less than 10 years, which isn't great but does not compare to fission waste;

2. Some fusion processes don't emit neutrons (aneutronic fusion). As I understand it, these processes aren't as efficient, but there is the possibility of a tradeoff between generation of ratioactive waste vs. efficiency.

None of that is born out by the facts. Look at the last few election cycles over on ballotpedia. The hypothesis doesn't hold.

You're just looking at superficial symbols and not substantive policy.

My brother is part of a union, voted for minimum wage increase, posts about evil communist Harris and her DEI woke mob trying to destroy our country. He's cooked.

He thinks Trump is antiwar and will have a federal jobs program.

I've been involved in right wing politics for 20 years because I have been trying to understand these people. How functioning democracies can enthusiastically elect clearly corrupt criminals based on laughable bullshit.

They deal in a world of symbols but at the policy and practice level, the actual ballot measures and positions, it's clear where they actually stand.

They want things like lower housing cost, jobs programs, affordable healthcare, better public infrastructure, increased wages ... That's all socialism. They just think it'll come through some wacky indirect way that doesn't work as opposed to direct and intentional implementation.

I don't know where you live. you got to go interact with the people if you really want to figure them out. Once you look past the scapegoats and boogeymen, it's pretty clear.

The Democrats have abandoned that platform. Arguably the last competent person to do that on a national stage was shot in 1968. You gotta lie to people, have bullshit factories ("think tanks"), media empires.. sitting down and playing classroom doesn't work. The 2024 DSA LA voter guide was 75 pages.

It was both, and part of the reason platforms pulled support is that keeping up with XMPP was bad ROI.

You're Facebook. You want to provide an instant messenger you can iterate on quickly. You can put the work into making it XMPP-shaped and working with the community (whatever they means... Are you going to slip ship targets because Pidgin doesn't work as a client for your implementation?). Or you can just write and ship your own service and client at your own pace and not care about any other developer's needs or wants because you're trying to serve Facebook users, not developers.
