> Solve all the problems at the end of the chapters in the textbook

It really depends on the textbook, isn't it? I find it impossible to solve all the problems in CLRS, for example. Our professor assigned one of the problems about universal hashing, and it took me hours to get the key insights to find the correct proof. I can't imagine how one can solve all the problems given so many competing priorities, except for a few truly talented.
Not a gamer but I would guess it depends on the graphics settings. At lower resolutions, and with less lighting features, etc. one can probably turn a GPU bound game into a CPU bound game.

It's true that an actor is not necessarily a system process. It can be a process, or a thread, or a coroutine, or etc. But "crashing" isn't anywhere near so ambiguous. Crashing doesn't mean the request fails, or the thread gets killed -- crashing means the underlying process terminates.

That may not be how some folks understand the concept of crashing, but it's definitely how most folks understand it, at least insofar as they write software.

1 service instance needs to be able to handle O(1k+) concurrent requests at scale, and a failure in any given request can't impact other in-flight requests. Those failures aren't crashes, and that software isn't crash-only -- using those terms just obfuscates things, and makes everything harder for everyone.

My dream was to do research, but I didn't see academics as happy people. Instead, I had a great career, and now I mess around on my own programming language. Maybe it will become something, may it will not. Life is a mystery.

It has been fun spending a few years building my vision ( https://www.adama-platform.com/ ), but it's hard to communicate it all. I've come to the conclusion, the real magic that makes Research work is having a place where people can collaborate and work together in a shared culture.

At this point, I don't want to hire people into my endeavor, and I can't seem to find a co-founder to do commercialization right.

> Post translational modification of proteins (by proteins) is a thing.

Yes prions are real but the article points out that prions modify the way other, already-existing proteins fold. Prions do not create new proteins nor do they change the amino acid sequences of other proteins, which means prions don't violate the dogma.

The article addresses your other points as well.
The main constraint on consumer GPUs is the VRAM - you can pretty much always do inference reasonably fast on any model that you can fit. And most of that VRAM is the loaded parameters, so yes, this should help with running better models locally.

I wonder how much they'd be able to trim the recent QwQ-32b. That thing is actually good enough to be realistically useful, and runs decently well with 4-bit quantization, which makes it 16Gb large - small enough to fit into a 3090 or 4090, but that's about it. If it can be squeezed into more consumer hardware, we could see some interesting things.

Yeah I think Intel is a dark horse here in that AMD has kind of already stated they're pulling back from the extreme end of performance. If Intel's engineering work improves (and notably their driver staff do a good job) iteratively in short order as they've spoken about, I can see them capturing a good chunk of the GPU space and become the de facto discrete option on laptops.

CUDA is definitely the biggest hurdle as you pointed out though. NVidia's bet there paid off big time.
> bsearch + qsort is a great way to implement associative tables

Only if you write/read your table in two separate passes. A tally needs mixed read/write to increment a counter, not just insertion, so it must be kept sorted during the table creation. Some kind of tree or linked list is probably better in this case.

> you can implement a hash table in C in about 125 LOC and reuse it.

I know. Anyone who uses C and never made at least a basic FNV1A/bucket-based hash table must be insane. But I wanted a small self-contained .c here and have become allergic to (void *); if I were to use C seriously, I'd fix it using a better preprocessor (à la https://github.com/etwyniel/c-generics).

Ask HN: How to find quality marketing help for an early-stage SaaS?
Last year we launched a SaaS product within the in-person events space.

It proved to be a mild success within the local market. We're making over €1k MRR in our home EU country of 3MM people. It's still very much an Indie business but it's certainly got potential to grow 10-20x from where we are right now if we break into other markets.

As of recent, we rebranded and are ready to go internationally, but need some professional marketing assistance to help us optimise backlinks, SEO, social media presence and the likes.

I'm trying to avoid the term "growth hacking" here, but realistically that's what we need: someone to leverage creative ideas to make us discoverable and known.

We have a modest budget of up to ~€50k to burn through (salary, ad spend, etc.) and are open to offering equity to who I suppose would become our Chief Marketing Officer.

Where do we look? Should we focus on hiring a full-time marketing employee? A contractor/freelancer? Perhaps agencies are better ROI? If so, any specific recommendations would be massively appreciated.

Thanks!

That is a logical impossibility. Mental health is a thing; your mental health is not okay if you're physically fit and want to die.

Yeah, but there's always a cultural struggle to prevent everyone from using their own incomprehensible DSL. See "The Lisp Curse" [1]. Even vanilla Haskell (without macros, i.e. without Template Haskell) takes it too far by allowing to define arbitrary custom operators with arbirtary associativity and precedence. Many Haskell libraries are an incomprehensible soup of symbols instead of regular functions with readable names. Rust does pretty well so far. Macros are used appropriately in the ecosystem.

>One thing you might be overlooking is that there are often substitutes for the pirated products.

This works for software tools, but it doesn't work for movies or other artistic works. For example, personally, I'm a firm believer that no one should pirate Windows: if you can't afford it, then you have lots of free options available (namely, countless Linux distros). Same goes for Photoshop: if you can't afford it (or don't want to), there's free alternatives like Krita. These software programs are just tools to accomplish a task; if you can't get access to one, you can likely find something else to do the same thing.

You can't make this argument for watching a movie, though. You can't substitute some crap movie like Gigli or The Room for the experience of a cinematic masterpiece like 2001: A Space Odyssey or Lawrence of Arabia. It's like comparing some 4-year-old's crayon drawing to a painting by one of the masters.

It's unfortunate because the Bay Area is paradise. Perfect weather, space, resources, jobs, money, nature, surfing, hiking, skiing. All that and the Bay Area mega-region has a paltry 8 million people with even fewer houses.

An economically comparable NY-Phily corridor has around 30 million. Much smaller regions effortlessly crack the 10 million mark.

It sets a minimum 6-figure bar to afford rent with roommates. This means only tech people can live here, and the monoculture has become suffocating.

Similar to OP, I've lived across Boston, NYC, and SF. On paper, all 3 places are equally expensive. But go 10 miles from the city center, and NYC/Boston prices plummet. The Bay Area stays unaffordable across its entire 100 miles.

It's pretty easy to find a room under $1000 in NYC/Boston. This in happening and safe neighborhoods with vibrant nightlife, transit access, and a sub-30-minute work commute. I've seen the rent number go as low as $500.

No one person is going to fix cultural issues of the bay. But, building more housing would allow the 'culture creators' to move into the city.
It's not at all moving the goalposts. You can at least see transformer is not an ambitious project for Google. It's just few researcher getting paid well doing good research. Google put lot more resources in say Alphago.

Adding to the product suite is more challenging than research project for the company, and it was where Google thrived and which led to success of Google.

I'm still daily-driving an iPhone 7, so I sympathize. A few apps have complained about the older OS; so far I've been able to react by deleting the apps.

Smartphones cause a truly astonishing amount of waste (https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2018/12/11/right-to-repair-...: ~151 million phones discarded in the US each year, as of 2018), to say nothing of the various social follow-on effects that are being argued to death elsewhere.

The point of end-to-end encryption to me is that I don't need to have a trusted intermediary (in this case the hub).

Anyway, either way it's probably good to include something about how the traffic between the camera and the hub is completely plaintext and unencrypted and includes the password to the camera (unless I'm missing something), so even in your model it's not just the hub that is an additional point that needs to be trusted, it's also the whole network that they are on. That's probably at least a router and might include many other devices, sometimes quite untrusted.

Since some cameras support adding TLS/HTTPS it would be good to add support for that by not hardcoding http for the onvif endpoints. I think FFMPEG supports rtsp over tls out of the box.
