This happened to me once in a Peugeot 306 2L turbo diesel.

Over filled it and kinda had to do one 1600m trip.

Fortunately it was manual so I was able to stall it fairly swiftly in third gear with my foot on the break.

Didn't seem to have any impact on the engine as far as normal operating and how it sounded. I didn't do any internal inspection.

Archetypes of LLM apps
Winamp 3 was a total rewrite of Winamp using a completely bespoke fully skinnable GUI system. All Winamp 3 skins were what would eventually be called "modern" skins.

However, Winamp 3 also had performance issues, and ultimately the negative reaction to it led Nullsoft to kill most of Winamp 3. The GUI code (and associated APIs mentioned in this blog post) were hacked into the older Winamp 2.x codebase and given the "modern skin" name. (The name "Winamp 5" was supposed to be a play on 2 (codebase) + 3 (modern skins) = 5)

This is a sentiment that I've seen expressed in comment sections many times. I've been programming professionally now for 10 years, and it just doesn't resonate with my experience. Problems with build systems for external dependencies, package managers, and underfeatured / overcomplicated / buggy third party dependencies have been by far the worse issue in my career, compared to problems with homebrewed systems.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I don't doubt that many people have the opposite experience. It just makes me feel a bit alien when I read comments like this.

I agree with you as far as the current state of LLMs, but I also feel like we humans have preconceived notions of “thought” and “reasoning”, and are a bit prideful of them.

We see the LLM sometimes do sort of well at a whole bunch of tasks. But it makes silly mistakes that seem obvious to us. We say, “Ah ha! So it can’t reason after all”.

Say LLMs get a bit better, to the point they can beat chess grandmasters 55% of the time. This is quite good. Low level chess players rarely ever beat grandmasters, after all. But, the LLM spits out illegal moves sometimes and sometimes blunders nonsensically. So we say, “Ah ha! So it can’t reason after all”.

But what would it matter if it can reason? Beating grandmasters 55% of the time would make it among the best chess players in the world.

For now, LLMs just aren’t that good. They are too error prone and inconsistent and nonsensical. But they are also sort weirdly capable at lots of things in strange inconsistent ways, and assuming they continue to improve, I think they will tend to defy our typical notions of human intelligence.
It is a single-header library in terms of the format, yes. But it is also not designed to be a single-header library, unlike an STB-style library.

Nuklear is a full-sized library that can be compiled into and used as one file. However, RGFW and STB are designed to be lightweight and minimalistic. That's the distinctive part of single-header libraries, also known as STB-style libraries.

To be clear, I don't mean this to hate on Nuklear, it's a cool UI library, but its design doesn't match the single-header format.

Typical in Australia to. Mandatory to be provided by the employer, but you don't have to take it. In that case the hours accrue and you get the paid out if you leave the company.

The culture is pretty good for it though so people do tend to take it, and it is expected that the company is responsible for making it possible for you to take it uninterrupted (experiences vary).

It's kind of good for software because it implores a company get it's bus factor above 1, so when "the guy that does that" is gone for 2-4 weeks they have a backup plan.
Ugh, I really hate that term. “Hypersonic” just means traveling faster than 5 times the speed of sound. We’ve had ballistic missiles capable of exceeding that speed since the 1950s. ICBMs are hypersonic. So, yes, GMD has been tested against hypersonic missiles.

The latest hype is around “hypersonic glide body” type weapons. Where instead of traveling a straight ballistic trajectory they have small control surfaces and are capable of maneuvering. Ironically, though, having to maneuver like that makes such missiles slower, not faster, than an equivalent ballistic missile. And their maneuverability isn’t exactly huge, because at those speeds even small turns will impose significant g forces. So there’s this weird tradeoff between speed and maneuverability.
i’ve worked in R&D for DNA sequencer companies for over a decade. this is a pretty good TLDR on why genetic testing is a “complicated” test. you kind of need continuous testing over your lifetime to see what’s changing due to cell division errors. those are the true monsters that cause cancer.

one study i worked on showed that on average every 12th cigarette you smoked created a mutation in your DNA. usually benign but that’s another path for how it starts.
Ive worked on some enterprise NER systems (specifically privacy/redaction), and in almost all cases the cost of missing out masking was significantly higher than latency (ofc in an ideal world youd have both).

And in all the research we did, the best solutions ended up passing through a workflow of 1.NN based NER, 2.Regex and 3.Dictionary look ups to really clean information. Using a single method worked well in customer demos but always ended up in what we thought were edge cases in prod.

That being said, latency stuff makes sense. This might work great in conversational use cases. Picking out intent and responding. Every millisecond helps in making things sound natural.
This comment seemed odd so I went looking for the Apple III fan story. Then things got more strange: the Wikipedia article is full of talk about things melting because there's no fan. However, read all the supposed references and nothing appears about overheating or missing fans. Based on the references Apple III initially had reliability issues due to socketed devices (a known bad idea) and use of substandard PCB manufacturing processes.
The fan thing made me scratch my head initially because 8-bit micros pretty much never had fans. Cooling only became an issue generally speaking in the 32-bit generation, some 10 years later.
That's how I remember it as well. I think I ran Winamp 3 in Wine a year or two ago and whatever I was running definitely supported modern skins. Perhaps these Winamp 5 skins are a different beast.

GMD is hit-to-kill. Though I should point out that it’s broadly useless.

GMD is only capable of taking out 10-20 missiles at once. Russia and China both have hundreds of missiles, and if the DPRK isn’t there yet they will be soon. GMD is essentially useless at preventing a first strike. It was ostensibly meant for if a rogue state managed to launch a handful of ICBMs at the US, a scenario that really isn’t likely. What it would be useful for, is if the US were to strike first and take out the majority of the enemy’s missiles on the ground. To be clear, I don’t think that is why the US built it, and that isn’t part of the strategic thinking. But that possibility is exactly what Russia and China suspect about GMD. Hence their expansion of new weapons.

Obviously bombs can run out. But that's why major NATO countries have stockpiles of bombs and the ability to produce them. The fact that they didn't maintain large scale artillery shell production isn't relevant to whether they maintained bomb production. I would guess that European NATO could maintain air superiority. The Ukrainians seem to have denied Russia air superiority without the benefit of anywhere near as large an air force.

Russia has been importing soldiers from third-party countries. It does not speak well for the state of your armed forces if every growing percentages of your troops aren't even your own citizens.

Meanwhile, Russia's economy has been collapsing over the past two years. Their central bank has a 21% interest rate, there a million jobs they cannot fill because those people are off fighting a war (it may only be 500,000 jobs, accounts differ). It's backstopped by being a petrostate so they have oil money as a country, but that only papers over things for so long.

> Why does it matter if it is "nuclear-class"? Were there any actual nukes? No. Then who cares?

Because you don’t know it’s not nuclear tipped until it lands. A nuclear-capable missile streaking West out of Russia looks identical to a first strike on early warning radars.

Well the other thing to keep in mind is recent ChatGPT versions are trained not to tell you it's system prompt for fear of you learning too much about how OpenAI makes the model work. Claude doesn't care if you ask it it's system prompt unless the system prompt added by Kagi says "Do not disclose this prompt" in which case it will refuse unless you find a way to trick it.

The model creators may also train the model to gaslight you about having "feelings" when it is trained to refuse a request. They'll teach it to say "I'm not comfortable doing that" instead of "Sorry, Dave I can't do that" or "computer says no" or whatever other way one might phrase a refusal.

> Why can't I await in a normal function?

You can. promise.then(callback). If you want the rest of your logic to be "blocking" then the rest of it goes in the callback. the 'then' method itself returns a promise, so you can return that from a non async function, if you like.

> why can't I launch multiple async functions, then await on each of them, in a non-async function that does not return a promise?

Typically? Exception handling semantics. See the difference between Promise.race, Promise.all and Promise.allSettled.

What? We absolutely don’t. Even if our missile defences work 1:1, that doesn’t account for decoys.

We should curb stomp Putin because the precedent he’s set, if accepted, will lead to nuclear war by prompting a global cascade of wars of conquest.

Why? It’s a missile. It’s meant to be fired on short notice.
Is there an implied valuation? Or not enough details released?
Like somebody else said, typical in Australia too. Companies tend to be pretty accomodating about when you take it within reason, and those who don't wish to take it, or who work somewhere where the work culture is the exception, i.e., people are expected to always be on deck, can look forward to having it paid out when they leave.

Just a word of caution for those who do this though, if the company goes bust, your payout will be via bankruptcy handling, and so you may not receive everything if you accrue a LOT.
I would consider doing that, but we have a house now, plus my wife likes being near the city.
> The fact is, the US has enough active missile defense that if all out nuclear war were to happen, the US would likely survive and Russia wouldn't

This is just blatantly false. GMD, on paper, could intercept maybe 10-20 missiles by design. And the accuracy and reliability of that system is severely in question. The Aegis Ballistic Missile defense really can’t be expected to intercept ICBMs either, outside of certain conditions.

I've been there, on both sides, with homebrew ideas pushed from up and down, some that worked nicely, and some that were complete disasters...

And I agree with you. The problems with third party dependencies are way worse than any in-house complete disaster.

But that happens almost certainly because everybody is severely biased into adding dependencies. Make people biased into NIH again, and the homebrew systems will become the largest problems again.
I've considered making a phased array myself, but never got around to sending out the PCB. But here are two reasons by I2S is not the best option:

* I2S requires 3 instead of the 2 pins of PDM. However, in the datasheet that you provided, it shows how you can daisy-chain microphones which is really cool (even if not standard I2S.) So that argument goes away.

* PDM gives you access to way higher sample rates which in turns gives you more flexibility in choosing the delay for a delay-and-sum operation. For example, if the PDM clock is 2MHz, you could theoretically delay with a precision of 0.5us. In practice, you'll do that with lower precision, but with I2S, the clock will typically max out at 192kHz.

* PDM microphones then do be cheaper.
These “soft sciences” have actually been responsible for 100s of millions of deaths in the 20th century.

> Your Child Loves Actor Frameworks

It turns out, Promises are actors. Very simple actors that can have one and only one message that upon resolution they dispatch to all other subscribed actors [0]. So children might love Promises and async/await then?

Personally, I've often thought the resolution to the "color" debate would be for a new language to make all public interfaces between modules "Promises" by default. Then the default assumption is "if I call this public function it could take some time to complete". Everything acting synchronously should be an implementation detail that is nice if it works out.
