One small tip I didn't appreciate for far too long with "mac-peer" laptops that have fans is to use them unplugged. My laptop almost never spins up fans when it is unplugged, and I can get a good batch of work done with the battery levels of today and fast charge over lunch. It's still not quite as ideal nor as long a battery life as Mac. But it feels so beautiful.

For the first time on Linux I feel better, like I am not just making sacrafices for values but like the actual whole all-around experience is better in most ways compared to my work Mac (M2 Pro so fans abound and not as aesthetically pleasing as the Airs IMO). It's instantly snappy, I have a nice large SSD, I've already swapped out RAM, no issues with key software, I have a theme with a desktop experience I prefer over the Mac one, and I can go to a presentation and type without fans stressing me out. As someone in AI for a while, personally, I don't value GPUs or NPUs, but that would be a difference. That's really leaps and bounds over Linux from 2016 or 2010 on Laptops.
Well, they have certainly allowed a convicted felon to become president, so I’m not as convinced of their ability to defend themselves. Any Netflix showrunner designing Trump as a character would have been called of for such a flat caricature of a narcissistic villain, but somehow people thought that would be a good leader.

Even if Trump does not ruin the USA, I have forever lost my respect for its citizens.

It's a big bound check conspiracy, actually. Basically, Google will collaborate with US government to gather all the bounds, via Android. FBI will break into your house and look for all the `i < length`, and if they don't find them, they will terminate your `i++` on the spot. This is just the begining. Next time, they will go even for `int = 0`. You'll own nothing, just `for(;;)` and you'll be happy.
imho the biggest problem with all the new snapdragon laptops is that all ram is soldered on, because the new chips don't support slotted ram.
The requirement is a bit garbage. Most other countries manage to run their rail networks effectively without having their trains blast the horn at every crossing. When they do, it's typically two short tones, not the way the US does it.
Feels weird to read about the most innovative place in the world of our time, the land of Google, Apple, AI, all modern tech, the place pretty much the entire world looks up to talk so passionately about something my country did in the 1920s.

there is nobody in my family on whose shoulder i can cry except my wife. the friends that i have where i can do that i all met through work.
and yes, coworkers have helped me move too.

"we are a family" is still a warning sign though.

it could mean that the team is a tight knit group that a newcomer will have difficulty to break into, especially an introvert.

or it could mean certain expectations towards each other that i would not understand or be comfortable with because i have not experienced any family like that

so instead of rejecting the idea i would ask some questions to find out what they mean by that.

In most implementations of the standard library, safety checks can be enabled with a simple #define. In some, it's the default behavior in DEBUG mode. I wonder what this library improves on that and why these bugs have not been discovered before.

Thanks for sharing, I enjoy reading your posts in regards to how ahead of time Dlang was in adopting these improvements.

I wanted to ask: did you ever consider what was missing from Dlang to achieve widespread adoption? Clearly it was not features, so I'm wondering what that would be from your pespective.
It's a great question (_LIBCPP_DEBUG was already a thing in libc++), and AFAIK the answer is supposedly "it used to be too costly to enable these in production with libc++, and it no longer is." I have no first-hand insight as to how accurate this perception is.
I skimmed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinoatrial_node#Function. Here's my guess at what is going on:

In humans (and I guess many animals), the thing that controls the heart beat is a structure in the heart called the Sinoatrial node. Each cell in the SA node has an ability to generate its own rhythmic electrical impulse. I imagine that when one of these cells thaws out in a Wood frog, it immediately starts producing its rhythmic pulse. It has to get in sync with the rest of the cells in the Sinoatrial node before the heart will beat correctly, so the cells have a mechanism to communicate their rhythm with their neighbours. I guess each cycle, each cell adjusts its phase a little towards the average phase of its neighbours and thus a consensus will be reached.

As usual with Quanta, the actual article didn’t explain anything well and was a waste of time (which is funny because Quanta is usually off the deep end with pages of esoteric babble that is gibberish except to genuine specialists. In this case, not only was there no ‘simple math’ - there was no math!). I’ve really got to stop clicking on Quanta links.

That's a ridiculous statement. PrimeVideo is the leader in terms of sports events streaming over internet and it is composed of hundreds of microservices.

Live streaming is just much harder than streaming, and it takes a years of work and a huge headcount to get something good.
... and soon with this type of setting you will arrive at siloing the information. Having all communication public in the channels comes with its cost but everything is as transparent as it can be. Important distinction is that you get to choose if the detail is relevant for your work or not. And not your manager or whoever.
Then why are both English and Latin represented with Latin characters despite having a completely different phoneme inventory?
You can bundle a JRE with a JAR to get a self contained executable.

Also don’t forget that many compiled languages depend on a particular libc so you’re not totally in the clear there.
I find this to be less and less of an issue, because RAM has gotten so cheap that you can pretty much just max it out when buying. At the moment, going from 32GB to 64GB incurs a 193$ markup for this laptop, which I think is entirely reasonable for a machine like this (although, honestly, I'm usually not even close to reach 32GB in my normal work).

The only notable exception here is Apple with their absolutely bonkers RAM upgrade prices, which is why I would never buy a Macbook.

EDIT: I just HAD to look, MacBook Pro(ha!) by default with 16GB unified memory, it will set you back 400$ to go to 32GB, so more than 4x what Lenovo takes (64GB not even possible, of course).

I just got NPU based LLM inference working locally on Snapdragon X Elite with small (3B and 8B) models, but it’s not quite production ready yet. I know all llama.cpp wrappers claim to have it on their roadmap, but the fact of the matter is that they have no clue about how to implement it.

> M1 MacBook was 30 times faster at generating tokens.

Apples and oranges (pardon the pun). llama.cpp (and in turn LMStudio) use Metal GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon, while they currently only do CPU inference on Snapdragon.

It’s possible to use the Adreno GPU for LLM inference (I demoed this at the Snapdragon Summit), which performs better.
> much, much heavier

https://thedriven.io/2024/05/03/are-evs-really-much-heavier-...

I don’t think “much, much” should be used when we are talking 10-15%. This will mislead people. There are outliers of course.

With luck, `uv tool install` [1] will solve most of the frustrations with Python programs on Linux/Mac/Windows,
since uv combines the functionality of pipx and pyenv and doesn't itself depend on Python.
It is a single binary that manages Python interpreters and project environments.
uv is very actively developed and seems to be rapidly gaining adoption.
It makes me optimistic about its future (and, correspondingly, pessimistic about the future of Python tooling that competes with it).

I already have a success story of helping a friend install ArchiveBox [2] with uv.
ArchiveBox required an older version of Python than their system had.
The quickest and easiest solution I could think of was:

pipx install uv
uv tool install --python 3.8 archivebox

You could also install uv by other means.

Game developers have been doing this since forever, its one of their main reasons to avoid the STL.

EASTL has this as a feature by default, and unreal engine container library has the boundchecks enabled on most games. The performance cost of those boundchecks in practice is well worth the reduction of bugs even on performance sensitive code.

There's a disincentive to actively block PRs if you don't want your coworkers to think you are a bad colleague / not on their side. So you often see suboptimal code making its way to production. This has a worse effect the more terrible engineers there are.
BASIC was the language in all the magazines that responded to people who wanted to try ideas in their new microcomputers. Tens of thousands of us, at least (some so glad they took those high-school typing courses) simultaneously keying in those pages. And then, we'd think 'hey, I want to try this' and either succeeding or looking for more powerful BASICs ... leading to peeks, pokes, even assembler. A blast, and that feeling of empowerment!

"Intelligence" is an ability: some have it, and in large amount and complexity, some don't; some use it regularly, intensively and/or extensively, some don't.

AI is a set of engineered tools and they need to be adequate for the job.

When we speak about general Intelligence, it will have to be acute and reliable. Surely the metric will have to be well above low bars for humans, already because for that we already have humans available, and because, as noted, that low bar level is easily not «adequate for the job».

I put in a bill that has 3 identical line items and it didn't include them as 3 bullet points as usual, but generated a table with a "quantity" column that doesn't exist on the original paper.

For those thinking freezing could be an option... there's a fair bit more than just avoiding ice crystals.

Medical hypothermia in humans (which is just a few degrees colder) is bounded not really by not by time-cold but by restoring normal temperature too quickly. It turns out mitochondria generate a lot of free oxygen radicals when going hypoxic, and restoring oxygen quickly does the chemical damage that actually causes death - so they restore normal temps over a period of hours. I'd bet that's not the only metabolic cycle deranged by hypercooling.
I am curious about their live streaming infrastructure.

I have done live streaming for around 100k concurrent users. I didn't setup infrastructure because it was CloudFront CDN.

Why it is hard for Netflix. They have already figured out CDN part. So it should not be a problem even if it is 1M or 100M. because their CDN infrastructure is already handling the load.

I have only work with HLS live streaming where playlist is constantly changing compared to VOD. Live video chunks work same as VOD. CloudFront also has a feature request collapsing that greatly help live streaming.

So, my question is if Netflix has already figured out CDN, why their live infrastructure failing?

Note: I am not saying my 100k is same scaling as their 100M. I am curious about which part is the bottleneck.

Now I imagine one eye looking at the road, the other one doing active strabismus to check the mirror, one hand on the wheel and the other using muscle memory to operate the settings on a flat surface.

Maybe a loose screw somewhere in the mirror or a manufacturing defect? It would be surprising QA and legal security standards don’t require mirrors to stay in the position set for a reasonable mileage…
A lot of comments focus on examining who gets their startups funded, so looking at founders or maybe the lucky few early staff who get super rich from an IPO.

I’m thinking about the effect on smoothing the other end of the wealth curve, pulling people out of poverty or near-poverty into the middle class and upper middle class.

I’m a complete nobody, didn’t go to a notable school, have zero family connections, and I’ve been grazing at the VC trough by working for startups the majority of my career. Without a startup ecosystem, I would probably be hanging Wi-Fi access points or building PCs at Best Buy. There are thousands like me.

I think without the VC idea, a few rich people would still start new companies, but they’d be less fit due to so much less competition. Neat prototypes of ideas like we see all the time on HN wouldn’t usually be able to get big enough to threaten the incumbents unless they were lucky enough to be dreamed up by a nepo baby.

HTML/CSS is still amazing if you aren't using one of the flat frameworks. Modern UIs are really nice for actual function, it's just the obsession with flatness that's the problem.

But with CSS you can get this kind of look, and then go even further, adding rounding and textures and all the things that are natural and obvious extensions on a high res screen.
"at least not without significant incentive."

I do have a significant incentive to not leave my shit lying around, as I also want to go the forest in the future. Most people do.

Only some don't give a shit at all - the main problem here is simply not knowing how to behave if in the forest, if it never was shown to you. A proper toilet is the standard and expected. And when there is no toilet? Too embarrassing to even talk about .. so quick behind a bush, quick a piece of paper, has no one seen it? Now quick away and pretend it didn't happen. That is the usual modus operandi of civilized people feeling a natural desire in the woords. Simply getting a lesson in school would normalize it.

People love to say that EVs are very heavy, or are much, much heavier, massively heavier and so on. This paints the wrong picture in people’s heads. The same people will use the Hummer EV as an example, but most people aren’t driving that.

To put it into perspective, from the table, you could load an ICE with passengers and some luggage and it would weigh the same as the EV equivalent with just the driver.
