Hey HN, I made a simple guide for new to experienced programmers to make their computer talk with Python
Eh, typically museums exist where there is a lot of money willing to be spent on showing things off, or spinning a narrative. Or capitals of empires that have done a lot of Looting.

Many of these things are basically variants of the same thing.

Myanmar, well…. doesn’t really have the wealth for most of those things.
No? IPTV is a protocol. You can send on-demand movies etc too.
No, it isn't. Trump says he wants to repeal the CHIPS Act because it makes for a good a partisan talking point:

Most distros already sort of elevate the initial users permissions so they can use sound, reboot without a password etc. So this is certainly doable. But doing it systemwise would also allow "rm -rf /" (which is specifically guarded nowadays I know). It's just an additional step. It's also why on most distros the prompt turns red when you're root. I don't have an opinion regarding if this is the right way. I have run as root in the past too. It's been mostly fine.
Brute force exposure to as many problems and solutions as possible is the same way AIs learn.

That strategy in my opinion is not optimal for humans.

What we need to do is develop math resources that can help students learn things analytically & conceptually.

Like how they learn biology.
Wasn't due to the EU but because of China for that one most likely
Sure, but my point is just that the category theory view of a monoid is harder for most people to understand.

For example, it's easy to see that integer addition is an operation that combines two elements of the set "Integer" into another element of the same set. E.g. 1 + 2 = 3. From there, it's a small step to seeing the same pattern elsewhere, and recognizing it as the "monoid" pattern. E.g. "foo" + "bar" = "foobar" for string concatenation.

In category theory, one instead has to think of this as the composition of two morphisms being equivalent to another morphism. E.g. +2 ∘ +1 = +3. That is much less intuitive for most people, I think.

I have nothing against category theory. It is very powerful precisely because it is so abstract. But if you want to learn how to apply the relevant concepts to programming, that abstraction is often more of an obstacle than a help.
Doesn't matter who is the owner of said technologies, they are products, not research stuff without customers.

"Migrated" is past tense, not something yet to be planned.
I think that's the intuition behind MoE (Mixture of Experts). Train separate subnets for different tasks, train a router that selects which subnets to activate at inference time. Mixtral is a current open model which I believe implements this.
Yeah but some of these services still offer something that official alternatives do not.

I used to support an apartment building with a lot of residents from India. They all had IPTV boxes with some pirate channel for accessing some in demand cricket comp, and the support requests would all coincide with the streams. And in general they got lots of other local content outside the region locking. Mostly keeping up with India. They got the content for free in india, but paid a small fee to access it remotely, not caring who provided it. They all seemed to believe there was no financially reasonable alternative way to access the content and we never really bothered them about it as its not the carriers job to police IMHO.

Likewise I see tons of yanks complaining about Disney+ not carrying Alien Romulus, when outside of the US its on the app. All self imposed considering Disney owns a large amount of Hulu but is beefing with the remaining shareholders IIRC.

Plainly nonsense region locking seems to be driving piracy. And if someones making 250 million per month circumventing it then it sort of implies the solution doesnt it?
people like to shit on document databases - but man oh man - the expressivity you get working with document databases combined with Ruby is unmatched.
I know someone is gonna reply all you need is postgres - but yeah jsonb queries don't match mongo queries. & after all - most of the places I have worked the database writes / queries hit one or two tables and work loads got migrated to dynamodb. that includes socia media ingestion, iot streams and metasearch.

yeah if you need kimball style queries i.e olap then yeah use postgres with rails etc
It turns out that assumption would be fairly accurate. Hemispherectomies are extreme but do happen.
Aiming to get all the stars this year to round it out with 500 total - all the years, all the problems.

As of last week there were something around 1024 people who had all 450 stars.

Only started on like day 6 of 2022, but became hooked and had some time early in 2023 to go through the previous years. Once you have a few algorithms canned, it's not too difficult and some themes repeat across years.

It's fun to brush up on stuff you don't touch all the time - actual algorithms and stuff.

Hats off to the volunteers and Eric - I aim to donate every year now - it's a great event.
The term homoiconic does not come from the Lisp culture. I think it might have been in the 1990s that it came into use as a way of describing a property of languages in the Lisp family, using a different definition from the original homoiconic, and it might have been introduced by outsiders.

Using Google Books search, we can identify that a 1996 book called Advanced Programming Language Design by Raphael A. Finkel uses the word in this new way, claiming that TCL and Lisp are homoiconic.

The word returns to flatlining towards the end of the 1990s, and then surges after 2000.
>Low code initially works quite well until you hit the limits of the low-code framework.

I wrote this a while ago. May be the future is a No Code tool with AI that generate enough of an App to allow Low Code edit with the help of AI while the whole App itself is still a full Ruby Rails App that allow Real Code modification in the future by professionals.
RAD is a broadly used term, but tools like Delphi were good at it and not restricted. You could build anything, but the dream of dragging and dropping little boxes and filling properties to build applications with the client and having, possibly another team, building other little boxes to satisfy the features you couldn't deliver, was a successful way of doing things.

I would say especially in modern day guy in some cases: I have not seen anyone happy changing modern code (nextjs or so) that has not been touched for 5 years. The 'just drop in a new component' won't work because 9 billion dependencies had updates and break everything (seems modern devs in the npm ecosystem have serious issues keeping things compatible even across minor versions); that issue was never there with delphi; you just make the change; either in code or gui. Many components I used for 2 decades to create and fix applications without the pain I feel these days. Unlike others apparently, I have no interest in actually maintaining applications: I want to make them and if no changes are needed, I don't want to update them; security fixes are meant to be compatible with what there already is, so that's just a recompile. It's not anymore though so it causes work and work costs money. It's not very nice unless you get paid by the hours then it's brilliant.

Commenting on your general use of rad tools, the rest you say i agree with. I see (i googled a bit) that things like Outsystems are RAD tools now, and yes, those are hell on earth to work with (we did a massive project with it and everyone basically thought it was terrible).
Well, pfisherman seems to disagree with that use of the word reasoning.
If they repeal it, they’ll just rename it the Trump Strong Chips Act and it will be the greatest thing ever.
I believe it. I dont think they were one service with a big brand name, just lots of individual high traffic often ad supported services, pirate channels on paid dodgy set top boxes and lots of other nonsense.
You're linking to his amended complaint - his original complaint was thrown out because it alleged things like "Google's motto is don't be evil, but they were evil, thus defrauding me."

According to a Google investigator's sworn statement, he admitted that he didn't have evidence to suspect the AlphaChip authors of fraud: "he stated that he suspected that the research being conducted by Goldie and Mirhoseini was fraudulent, but also stated that he did not have evidence to support his suspicion of fraud".

I feel like if someone persistently makes unsupported allegations of fraud, they should not be surprised if they get shown the door.

The comparison against commercial autoplacers might be this one (from That Chip Has Sailed - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.10053):

"In May of 2020, we performed a blind internal study[12] comparing our method against the latest version of two leading commercial autoplacers. Our method outperformed both, beating one 13 to 4 (with 3 ties) and the other 15 to 1 (with 4 ties). Unfortunately, standard licensing agreements with commercial vendors prohibit public comparison with their offerings."

[12] - "Our blind study compared RL to human experts and commercial autoplacers on 20 TPU blocks. First, the physical design engineer responsible for placing a given block ranked anonymized placements from each of the competing methods, evaluating purely on final QoR metrics with no knowledge of which method was used to generate each placement. Next, a panel of seven physical design experts reviewed each of the rankings and ties. The comparisons were unblinded only after completing both rounds of evaluation. The result was that the best placement was produced most often by RL, followed by human experts, followed by commercial autoplacers."

If it was fully disclosed that this was "gambling", then I might agree.

But it seems that it was more positioned as "a safe investment with okay returns and a lottery chance at winning above average returns". Gamblers don't need to know about FDIC insurance and the like.

There was shady goings on that wasn't clear to depositors -- what isn't clear is WHERE that shadiness was happening, but that doesn't mean they "got what was coming to them".
That's pretty funny because per-taxpayer we're each just about paying the cost of two fire extinguishers each to pay for that corporate welfare.

This article is missing the "meta" in studying mathematics.

Creative introspection into how one learns begins to really pay off partway through college.

One's relationship to convention becomes as important as one's relationship to technique. Understanding the "whole" of something involves understanding the biases that shape the presentation you're seeing. You'll probably want to shed them.

This applies whether one wants to change math or just learn it. A passive stance, trying to do what others want, is a recipe for frustration.
As a counterexample, I have self-studied queuing theory, extreme value analysis, combinatorics, generalised linear regression, etc. and had no problem with it.

Category theory I just can't get through. Either it does not fit with my brain or I fail to see the practical implications, but something makes it not stick.

(Curiously, differential equations (beyond the basics) are in a similar spot for me, even though they are obviously immediately practical in a huge number of areas!)

It depends if you want to be able to prove new things by yourself or not. If you want to do it, then you definitely need to understand /recall all of the whys of every section of the proof. They are all there for a reason. If you don't, you just want the intuition of why the whole theorem is true.
"Strongly typed" is not a well defined term—it basically means "I'm personally comfortable with the level of guarantees offered by the language", which is a purely subjective measurement.

In context it's obvious that what OP meant is that they wouldn't want to build in a language without statically-checked types. That there are languages that provide even fewer statically-analyzable guarantees than Ruby does not make Ruby a suitable candidate.

1. Nobody is producing software to the highest standards of the industry. The best quality code I’ve ever seen was from very methodical recent grads who spent way, way too long writing it. Literally everybody else is cutting corners. Try not to do that.

2. Get a textbook for a subject which you have taught yourself. Read the table of contents. Assess which topics you know cold, and which ones you have blind spots in. You can assess your mastery of a topic this way.

3. I learned the most by making bad choices and then having to live with the consequences. I learned the second most by having to justify the corners I had cut to other adults. Neither one is fun, but both teach you to be better.
Isolation: Since actors process messages they receive sequentially, there are no concurrency issues within an actor. This simplifies reasoning about state mutation and transitions.
...
Fault Tolerance: State can be persisted (e.g., to storage, database or event log) between messages. If an actor crashes, it can recover its state on another node and resume processing.

The system model in which each actor instance is single-threaded, processes received requests individually and sequentially, and can "crash" in a way that affects only the in-flight request, is a total anachronism, irrelevant since more than a decade, at any meaningful scale.

I am not sure how my comments not relates to volume. NAND and DRAM is precisely where all the volumes are.
"It may sound reassuring that someone watches your back and won't allow mistakes or would help clean up a mess, but you should not keep relying on this anyway."

This assessment totally devalues the experience of having an more senior, more capable colleague to learn from. They are not there to watch anyones back, stop mistsakes, or clean up anyones mess. Rather the point is that the junior member is able to watch the senior person, observe how they solve their problems, and how they approach fixing their own mistakes. It's about tacit learning, not bein nannied/micromanaged.
A rough analogy is like if you flipped some bits in a computer program's executable code and then looked at what happens when you run that code, and notice a specific feature now no longer works for example. Yeah you found a way to break something, but you don't know what else you broke, or what the full effects were of flipping those bits.

More to the point, FDIC insurance covers a BANK failure; but in this instance it wasn't the bank that failed. It doesn't even seem it was Yotta that had the issue, but rather their transaction company, Synapse.

Now if Synapse had created individual accounts for the Yotta depositors, we wouldn't be talking now. But what happened was Synapse had a few account(s) for Yotta and a bit of a records gap, which it seems is making it hard to tie Yotta depositors to their money.
What's unclear is if this is a Synapse issue, a Yotta issue or something else.

But the fact that there is this accounting issue shows that there is a gap in how FinTechs are actually managing cash flows, to the risk and detriment of their customers/depositors.
People like to shit on mongo not so much on others as far as I have seen. They were bitten by it I guess.

I guess they are harder to grok after the initial ease of use: performance is harder to reason about; things can suddenly grind to a halt even though you 'didn't do anything different' etc.
Yes that's why it shouldn't have any bearing at all on lifetime, and why I prefer a fixed term of 20-30 years.

I like Git Submodules very much.

Are there any downsides to completely skip dependency managers of specific languages and just use submodules to handle dependencies?

I don't mean code by 3rd parties. I mean the projects and libraries I write myself. I am tempted to try and handle my own code-reuse purely through git submodules. Would I encounter any problems?

As others have pointed out "larger and larger" is the same when it is negative too. So I think people are just going: positive infinity + negative infinity = 0.

Intuitively nice in a sense but I honestly think '0' is misrepresenting what is going on here. I'm ok with it being ' "+ and/or -" infinity' as a new definition.

Programmatically I think it should result in a NULL or VOID or similar. I mean, by definition it has no definition.

No. MoE tends to change expert every other word. There’s a bit of pattern (like a lot of punctuation to one expert) but it’s not clear what. Nobody understands how or why the router chooses the expert. It’s so early.

Not where I live. It takes days for stuff to get delivered, and if I need something within the hour, I can just drive to the store, which is less than 5km from my house. I try to do my shopping in one go, but life just doesn't work out like that at times.

Delivery vehicles in my part of the world are so poorly maintained anyway, so they're really massive contributors to other kinds of pollution as well.
This article is posting old news as current. The re-hiring started roughly a week after the firing and not everyone was re-hired, likely a mix of not invited back or choosing not to go back.
Intel doesn't have a problem with R&D at the moment. At least in terms of direction they are doing great. ( May be not GPU but that is another story ) And as others have said they cant buy back stock with this money grant.

They need the money if they want to do foundry business competing against TSMC. And I would argue even $8B is too little. Latest Leading edge Giga Foundry in Taiwan is roughly $20B. You will probably need at least $30B in US.

Very unfortunate Intel is still hanging on to its GPU unit which is burning money. I guess part of the AI hype meant Pat Gelsinger cant let that part go.
Seems more to me that he changed his mind.
i’m all for it. maybe not everyone with autism struggles with existential dread over the persitent social isolation they feel from struggling to navigate social interactions but i would certainly trade that part of myself in a heartbeat. it’s just not worth it to feel like i do day in and day out. there’s no one looking out for me and the only emotional support is a professional and i can’t afford that anymore because i’m now out of work and struggling to get back in because of my autism
I was going to play devil's advocate and say that sports team budgets would suffer but maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.
