At a minimum you would want to not only vacuum the floor, but mop it with isopropyl alcohol. However household floors aren't even and level enough and aren't made of the right material.
I enjoyed the novella but also didn't feel like it did anything particularly new or interesting. I think a lot of people just relate to a snarky unwilling protagonist who would rather be watching TV.

Streaming revenue has no public attribution of fees to specific content, as far as I can tell. It is very much possible that a large fraction of that revenue is driven by (and attributed to) new content, the same way DVD sales were.

Well they have to try something and actually invest in it. Every year, it looks more and more like x86 is a sinking ship.

Intel and AMD can dominate the x86 market all they want. But x86 has been steadily losing ground every year to cheaper and more power efficient ARM processors. It’s still a big market now, but I don’t think it’s going to be a great business in a decade or two.

ARM was just an example. If Intel spent a decade strengthening their Larrabee GPGPU platform and building AI and crypto ecosystems on it, they may have been well positioned to benefit immensely like Nvidia has over the last 5 years.

Then, it assumes that your actors don't have any side effects. (Otherwise, "retrying" is not an option.)

I found that surprisingly hard in most applications - and I think that's is a limitation of the actor model _in practice_, that is often overlook because it's only an implementation detail that does not really exists _in theory_.

It sounds like you’re at a really exciting stage. Based on your goals and where you’re at, I’d recommend starting with a specialized marketing agency for a few reasons:

Broad Expertise: An agency will give you access to a team of experts in SEO, backlink building, social media, and paid ads, all of which are key to making your product more discoverable internationally.

Strategic + Tactical Execution: Agencies don’t just execute—they help you craft a marketing strategy tailored to breaking into new markets, including localized messaging and outreach efforts.

Efficient Use of Time: Managing multiple freelancers can get complicated fast. An agency simplifies that process, delivering a cohesive plan and execution under one roof.

If you find an agency with a strong track record in SaaS or similar industries, it’s likely to give you a better ROI at this stage than hiring a freelancer or a full-time marketing hire. Once you’ve built more traction and need someone to manage things internally, you could look at bringing in a dedicated marketing lead.

Let me know if you want recommendations or if there’s anything specific you’re thinking about!

Ask your manager if you can have some budget per month for career development and hire a senior consultant to discuss your work with. It may not always be real time feedback to help you through a problem (but maybe it could be) but you could have post-mortem conversations with them about how problems were presented to you and how you thought through the solutions and implemented them. It sounds like this is the feedback you crave if I'm reading correctly.
Yes. They are very slow.

Andrew Tomazos defended himself from the psychological warfare tactic of debasement. Congratulations.
In some angles you can see there’s some gaussian splat / point cloud representation underneath. There’s definitely a 3D representation. But yeah navigable volume is limited at the moment. It will improve
There is some improvement going from 4-bit to 8-bit quantization, but if you have VRAM to spare for that, you usually see more benefit from running a 2x larger model at 4-bit. So in scenarios where an LM already fits the existing VRAM budget, I would expect larger models instead.

The other thing is that VRAM is used not just for the weights, but also for prompt processing, and this last part grows proportionally as you increase the context size. For example, for the aforementioned QwQ-32, with base model size of ~18Gb at 4-bit quantization, the full context length is 32k, and you need ~10Gb extra VRAM on top of weights if you intend to use the entirety of that context. So in practice, while 30b models fit into 24Gb (= a single RTX 3090 or 4090) at 4-bit quantization, you're going to run out of VRAM once you get past 8k context. Thus the other possibility is that VRAM saved by tricks like sparse models can be used to push that further - for many tasks, context size is the limiting factor.
> I'm already frustrated that we're stuck with "boolean" as the most fundamental of all data types.

We do have another name for it. "Bit." You could probably roll out a new programming language today that uses something like `let shouldUpdate: bit = true;` or without blowing too much of your novelty budget. Or `u1`, if you wanted to allow arbitrary integer sizes.
If you're comfortable designing PCBs I would definitely take that route and base it on the components I've used.

We haven't remotely tried alternatives, and the main arguments for retaining factory farming seem to be "I'm entitled to eat meat because I like it and pay for it" and perhaps "there are too many moving parts to just stop with no consequences", which I don't find convincing. Even if the process of fixing it is also subject to the rule, so we can't just cut jobs immediately, I think the main obstacle is that there simply isn't the collective will to change.

Epistemology is beyond the realm of science. All I desire is for folks to be transparent and have some consistency surrounding the epistemological basis for their agreement or disagreement with particular facts.

Instead what I see, often here, is that folks switch epistemic frameworks in order to prove or rationalize their beliefs. RCT becomes the threshold for knowledge when we're discussing psychology and sociology and trust experts or "science" or vaguely "logic" becomes the basis when talking about "hard" sciences. They typically reinforce the writers preconceived validity of the topic rather than acting as the foundations of belief, and I hope we can agree that's the opposite of how it is supposed to work.
FreeBSD is acceptable, but if you need features like suspend, it can be quite a hassle, and you might be fortunate if your hardware is compatible. On the other hand, OpenBSD has strong advantages for me as an out-of-the-box desktop system, allowing you to avoid the hassle of enabling services. Unfortunately, all the BSDs seem to still carry a 90s vibe.
I think most people can see the obvious ethical difference between actually stealing something vs breaking an exploitative license like that, and react accordingly.

It's the kind of book(s) that are better if they sneak up on you. The whole point is that murderbot wants to be left alone (to watch soap operas!) but keeps having to wrestle with being a person in often particularly difficult and confusing circumstances. The delight is that it can be wry and insightful.

If someone tells you it is going to have big messages I could see how it would be disappointing.
Increasing competition is increasing freedom to participate in a market, which is the kind of market freedom that matters when it comes to "free markets".

The identification of "freedom of market participants to do whatever they want" as being the "free" in "free markets" is exactly the problem here, in my view—and I'd go further and claim that confusing the two things has been a deliberate sophistic practice (among others, chief among them being "please don't notice I snuck in a couple sketchy axioms and 'as we all know's at the beginning, so that you accept the hundred pages of 'reasoning' based on them that follow") promoted by figures in some allegedly-intellectual circles, to make themselves useful to those who find that kind of thing beneficial, and so to personally gain from being professional BS peddlers.

(I'm not correcting you, here, just adding on—I'd guess we basically agree on at least the first, and most directly relevant to your post, sentence of the above)
The output of the Lisp reader is not an AST. It is completely unaware of many syntactical rules of the language, and is absent of any context. The equivalent in a C like language would be a stage that quite willingly generates a tree for the following:

void foo(int int) {
else {
x = 3;
}
}

Which most compilers will never construct a tree for despite it following some unifying rules for the structure of code in a C-like language (braces and parentheses are balanced, statement has a semicolon after it, &c.).

There are certainly some indications this was something that was not long in the planning. On the other hand, when (solid) financial security is not a subject on the table, it's a lot easier for many folks to let go--especially given that they can probably do as many board or advisor gigs in the industry as they have an appetite for.

NUPP: Nearly Universal Principles of Projects
Durable PHP has a way to guarantee exactly-once side effects through "activities" (I assume you are talking about the outside world side-effects, not internally). Trying to do the same activity twice will simply result in merging with the previous execution. This isn't integrated with actors -- mostly because I hadn't thought about it before. It wouldn't be hard to do though.

However, in most async systems, you can only guarantee at-most-once or at-least-once; exactly-once is quite hard (and why there is a dedicated way to do it in this framework).

Internally, messaging is set up to guarantee at-least-once and duplicate messages are ignored (as well as dedicated ways to ensure deterministic execution).
