> Our evolutionary simulations have confirmed the Birmingham Blade is up to seven times more efficient than existing designs in Birmingham’s wind speeds and urban environment.

Pretty good idea.

From what I've read, they iterated through 2000 simulations over the course of a few weeks.
That already exists and is called supabase. If you want to compete, you have to be different.
Can you comment on the efficacy of intermittent fasting (IF) to get into ketosis? Does fasting have to be undertaken in the order of days in order to be any effective, as opposed to 16 or 18 hours per day by way of IF.

For context, I've been following IF for a couple of years. I can definitely see myself losing my resident body fat, which is encouraging. I had tried keto diet before that - I found it very difficult to sustain, especially when you're away from home or are at work. So, part of my motivation to do IF instead of keto is, well, that I can achieve some level of ketosis via IF, and without following a strict keto diet.
> yeah, that entry-level FAANG engineer money.

In the US Amazon pays their SDE1s around $100k/year,with $160k total compensation that is actually relocation bonus bundled with vested stock paid in 4 years.

Elsewhere, salaries are even lower.

So, definitely not entry level FANG engineer money.
Congrats my friend, your language looks quite simple.

My only question is: why the use of semicolons? Why not let the compiler add them implicitly for you?

This way, will look a lot cleaner, and closer to Golang's elegance.
If your point is that artificially limiting supply of trained medical personnel leads to reduced access, inflated prices, and worse outcomes overall, then I'd agree.
This is why I mainly use some other custom <div> with a popover="" attribute. They're easily targeted with a button and no clientside JS required, and can be closed by clicking outside them, which <dialog>s don't have by default. They also still have the same helpful top-layer properties.

Unsure about accessibility on this front, though it can't be worse than my previous attempts with hidden labels/checkboxes/form elements, while being much simpler and less hacky.

I think you entirely missed the point of my comment, which is this: it feels more dangerous. But it isn't.

IPOs Are So Passé. Here's How Employees Are Getting Rich Now
Which is the part that really annoys me. The owner would much rather shut it off than selling it or letting others to run even in archive mode.

I recently learned CGTalk was completely shut down and ALL the information shared over the pass 20 years are gone. It never received the attention like DPreview. There are plenty of other examples where forum owner no longer wants the burden of owning it.

It really is a sad state of things.

Is there a site or exchange somewhere where owner could sell their site or at least put up a whole archive as asset?
Hah, thanks for confirming my suspicions with professional experience.
To be precise, it takes 1 employee to say "used in X". It takes corporate decision to say "used by X". And it takes a written agreement to be able to use the trademarked logo of X on your page. (I know, because I have collected more than 60 such agreements to show logos on a page).
Probably some sort of optimization algorithm that's been defined for centuries, and comes standard with any mathematical computing tool. The kind of thing used every day by engineers as routine, but I guess that's "AI" now.

Look ma! I made an AI!
The one with the rectangles representing reflections in the water is incredible. You can track each strip of rectangles to a city feature, and they are subtly different, in a way that makes sense.

Context: If your non-democratically installed government wants EU and Nato membership against the majority of citizens...that absolutely undermines Ukraine's national sovereignty.

What I failed to mention is not only about the stuff you own, but in general your relationship with material possessions.

Before selling everything, I’d constantly worry about whether I should get a third monitor, maybe try a curved one, get a new keyboard, upgrade the TV, get a new kitchen appliance, replace the sofa, etc. There’s always “newer and better” for everything.

Nowadays, I don’t care anymore. I bought a TV because we like watching movies, but I don’t care about the technology or the next shiny thing. Same with my computer, I work on a 14” laptop for the past two years, and I no longer feel like I should chase a better or newer setup.
The definition of AI changes depending on what I am trying to sell you today.
Sorry if this is a stupid question. If proton decay does not happen, but a proton is say in motion through a galaxy, where does the energy for its gravitational waves come from? Its momentum and therefore it slows down?
>Yes, he might have had help in spreading that message

Modern mass social media isn't just "help spreading the message", as everyone on this website must surely be aware. It's not a guy handling out pamphlets. It's a hyper-optimised, hyper-targeted psychological howitzer that would make Goebbels or Bernays blush.

Ffs I search for cake recipes on YouTube and my suggested videos are infinite hours of the local far-right guy ranting about gypsies and nepalis. Of course it has an effect, of course such one-sided avalanche of propaganda skews and manipulates things. This is obvious and also empirically verified.

I stress: one-sided. It's not even so much as all the boomers (and impressionable kids) being fed this propaganda for hours on end, it's that it's the only thing that they are fed. Listening to 30 tiktoks in a row of the guy ranting about gypsies and the EU would not be so bad if at least it was followed by some tiktoks giving an opposing views, or exposing that guy's shady business deals and how he pockets millions in taxpayer money! But we all know echo chambers are more lucrative than balanced views......

>Ahem... You're suggesting that Ukraine killed over a thousand Russians and took them hostage, and thereby provoked a war?

Maybe, just maybe you could have a look at what Gaza was like before the said event. It was blockaded by Sea, Air and Land. It was oppressed and occupied, not to mention the settler terrorism in West Bank. It is a myopic view to hold that it was peace before the Oct 7 incident.
Right but in this "100-engineer" scenario you'd have hoped the following would have happened:

- Docs and guidelines on migrations would have been written

- Some level of approval and review is required before execution

These are things that isn't really postgres specific, any company that doesn't have those is going to be a nightmare.
LLMs are essentially text completion machines, they get some text in as a list of tokens, and their job is to predict what token comes next.

Typically, you're interested in getting more than just one token out of them, so you run them in a loop. You start with the token list containing just the user's message, run the LLM with that list, append the newly obtained token at the end, run the LLM again to see what comes after that new token and so on, until a special end-of-sentence token is generated and the loop terminates.

There's no reason why you have to start with nothing but the users' message, though. You can let the user specify the beginning of the LLM's supposed completion, and ask the LLM to start from that point, instead of generating its completion from scratch. This essentially ensures that what the LLM says begins with a specific string.

Not alll APIs expose this feature, there are good safety reasons not to, but all LLMs are capable of doing it in principle, and doing it with the open ones is trivial.

LLMs are typically trained to output markdown, which uses ```language_name to denote code blocks in language_name, so that user interfaces like Chat GPT's web UI can do proper syntax highlighting.

Therefore, if you make your LLM think that it already started a completion, and that completion began with ```json, it will predict what's most likely to come after that delimiter, and that would be a JSON block.
Modern mass social media is a hyper-optimised, hyper-targeted psychological howitzer that would make Goebbels or Bernays blush. It's more than just "an influence".

Someone beat my lazy ass to it XD

Had something in the works when I first got to know about multimodal GPT and electron made it super simple to prototype something. Refined it a bit to even do the invisible window thing after feedback from my peers. Didn’t have the ahem courage to do it.

Also recently noticed there are actual companies around this space who are marketing this off as “interview assistance”. Two of them I’m aware of:

1. https://www.senseicopilot.com/

2. https://www.finalroundai.com/

——

I’m sure the knee-jerk reaction from the tech industry to these tools would be:

1. Return to in-person interviews

2. Force install spyware/vanguard like crap to scan your whole personal computer before doing the interview

If you are a tech leader/senior engineer with influence on these matters, I *HOPE*, that this is not the path you take. It’s high time FAANG and others stop gatekeeping with these useless rounds that are equivalent to forcing people to hand-solve complex math equations instead of using calculators. I also partly blame the YT influencers who keep peddling this BS but they will stop if the companies themselves take a stance.

You can rather use the same 1 hour slots to have a conversation, pair program on a realistic problem required for the role you’re hiring for where you and the interviewee can both benefit from the knowledge transfer. I’ve tried this in many of the interviews I’ve conducted and always went away learning something from an excellent candidate or a candidate who didn’t meet the expectations, going out knowing where they fall short.
This means that 60% did not come from another city or state and were SF residents. In other words, the majority of homeless in SF became homeless in SF.

SF has a huge homelessness problem and even after reducing it by 40% the problem would still be huge.

Now we can argue about why they became homeless but it seems pretty obvious that exorbitant housing costs mean that some people can’t afford it. City officials saying 40% come from other places shouldn’t distract us from the mismanagement that got us the 60%.
To concur, the US and EU are screaming they’re required to report their foreign influence in Georgia — the same as FARA in the US. They deployed their NGOs to influence and led riots in the streets to block transparency about foreign funding.

It's harder with LLMs, but we still have metrics for a lot of text.

On Reddit/HN/etc we have comment scores, replies, reposts, external references, etc that we can use to estimate whether a given comment/post was any good.

An entity like Google that indexes the whole web has visibility into when a given piece of content showed up, if it changed, if it got referenced elsewhere later, etc.

LLMs can be used to analyze the page and work out things like "the comments answering this comment are saying it's wrong"

We can also of course pick and choose, Reddit has some completely garbage subreddits and very tightly moderated ones.

It's of course by no means foolproof, but it doesn't have to be. It just has to be good enough to be usable for whatever purpose we need.

Also, perfection isn't a thing and such issues happen even without LLMs. Like all the cases of something wrong being added to Wikipedia, getting repeated on some news site, and then Wikipedia using that as a reference to backup the incorrect claim.

It's a factor. I just think it would be easier to make sure there are residencies for US graduates whose training is more aligned with US Healthcare than to import foreign doctors who also require training for transition.
Absolutely not. In my standard intro material I explicitly say otherwise, tell them that actual work involves checking external references, and that I want the interview to be as near to a collaborative experience as it can be in the odd circumstances.

I also tell them that they should tell me when they're checking external resources (the CPP reference is what I mostly have in mind, but StackOverflow or whatever is fine with me) so that I understand how they go about solving problems. Because that's the actual important bit. All the coding and the questioning is a proxy for that.
In fact, I touched only cash in the bank, I never sold any stocks, nor I ever touched the pension (not that I believe in pension too much, but I also can’t withdraw it without paying a hefty penalty).

Being “on track” is kind of an illusion to me. I believe it’s impossible to plan for more than 2-3 years ahead, let alone 20. I live below my means, invest as much as I can while finding a healthy balance between enjoying the moment and planning for the future.

This likely means tokenization striping out special characters. Try ngram search methods. They should work out of box.
Never had an issue with time zone changes when going east, I just stay up later and then go to sleep. Going West, however, is hard. Going to sleep more than a few hours early is quite difficult.
What "elite" are you talking about? He broke multiple laws that would made him ineligible to run, and therefore he is ineligible to run. Can you explain what's wrong with this reasoning?

It frankly speaks to your democratic culture, that you can only conceive of a candidate being prevented to run by a shady cabal of elites blocking the candidate they don't like.

Yes how bad he is is irrelevant. I read GP's comment more about how utterly impossible it is for a single person to keep up, let alone fight, the torrent of hyper-optimised propaganda that a few tens of millions can buy on tiktok. Maybe this illustrates why mass social media manipulation skews democracy towards the highest bidder.
I really like how you start from an hypothetical scenario, then extrapolate even more ridiculous hypothetical scenarios to make it sound outrageous...

Of course if you can prove someone cheated an election it should be scrutinized no matter the side.

What even is your point here? That we shouldn't care because you imagine that your political enemies would do the same thing? What kind of argument is that

> is precisely why anti-establishment candidates are winning everywhere.

Anti establishment? Like Trump, Orban, Miley, Fico, Meloni? Lmao the only people saying they're anti establishment are themselves and their propaganda, as soon as they're in place they're very happy to milk the establishment and serve their own interests

I'm the first to criticize the EU but if the only way out is through Russian puppets I'd rather stay in until we find a better solution.
At the very least your parents need to tolerate you, because you depend on them for living during your early years. So early on it is a simple survival necessity.

It turns out that this necessity never truly goes away. Aside from merely surviving (e.g. you need your doctor to at least tolerate you) interacting with other human is what makes life more than just surviving. At least it’s like that for most people.

Even hermits and sociopaths need to be liked by at least one person, which is their own selves. Since the number must be at least one, it might as well be 2 or 3.
Windows set up with Microsoft Account uses abbreviated e-mail for user names, because UTF-8 breaks apps, including many East Asian apps.

non-Western Windows users always knew never to use anything outside ASCII for usernames, passwords, or any programmatically used identifiers. It's English users that haven't learned it.
Cool stuff for sure! But cheeky comments like this (and others I personally have made in this thread) are to do with the "AI" branding aspect of a thing that is just bog standard mechanical engineering work. Hooking up optimizers to simulation work is far from new. But that's being called "AI" now to drive news article clicks (and presumably to fish for investor capital).
In K-dramas, all things are possible!
It’s funny you mention sailing. The couple people I know who grew up on a boat sailing like you describe no longer talk to their parents and long for a normal childhood they didn’t have.

PGQueuer is a lightweight job queue for Python, built entirely on PostgreSQL. It uses SKIP LOCKED for efficient and safe job processing, with a minimalist design that keeps things simple and performant.

If you’re already using Postgres and want a Python-native way to manage background jobs without adding extra infrastructure, PGQueuer might be worth a look: GitHub - https://github.com/janbjorge/pgqueuer
This idea that Postgres should be used for everything really need to die in a professional context.

I was appointed in a company of 10 dev that did just that. All backend code was PostgreSQL functions, event queue was using Postgres, security was done with rls, frontend was using posgtraphile using graphql to expose these functions, triggers were being used to validate information on insert/update.

It was a mess. Postgres is a wonderful database, use it as a database. But don't do anything else with it.

Before some people come and say "things were not done the right way, people didn't know what they were doing". The dev were all fan of Postgres contributing to the projects around, there was a big review culture so people were really trying to the best.

The queue system was locking all the time between concurrent requests => so queue system with postgres works for a pet project

All the requests were 3 or 4 times longer due to fact that you have to check the rls on each row. We have also all pour API migrated now and each time the sql duration decrease by that factor ( and it is the exact same sql request ). And the db was locking all the time because of that as it feels likes rls breaks the deadlock detection Postgres algorithm

SQL is super verbose a language, you spend your time repeating the same line of code , it makes basic function about 100 lines long when they are 4-5 lines in nodes js

It is impossible to log things inside these functions to have to make sure things will work and if it doesn't you have no way to know where the code did go through

You can't make external API call, so you have to use a queue system to make any basic things there

There are not real lib , so everything need to be reimplemeted

It is absolutely not performant to code inside the db, you can't do a map so you O(n2) code all the time

API were needed for the external world , so there was actually another service in front of the database for some case and a lot of logic were reimplemeted inside it

There was a downtime at each deployment as we had to remove all the rls and recreate them ( despite the fact that all code was in insert if not update clauses) it worked at the beginning but at some point in time it stopped working and there was no way to find why, so drop all rls and recreate them

It is impossible to hire dev that wants to work on that stack and be business oriented , you would attract only purely tech people that care only about doing there own technical stuff

We are almost out of it now after 1 year of migration work and I don't see anything positive about this Postgres do everything culture compared to a regular node js + Postgres as a database + sqs stack

So to conclude, as a pet project it can be great to use Postgres like that, in a professional context you are going to kill the company with this technical choice
One of the problems I have with this is that I wonder if this doesn't majorly impact blue/green upgrades and (actual cluster, not schema) migrations.
Database-as-the-API can scale surprisingly far, particularly if you sell a single-tenant shard to each customer and therefore a separate database to each customer. Drawing logical software boundaries before Product even knows what the domain looks like (i.e. which features will sell) is quite risky.
Expensive, but Ahref.
And have google search console. Seo = google search optimization
I've been lucky to never have to deal with that. Sucks for everyone that has.

On the other hand, I personally cannot code properly while someone is conceptually "breathing down my neck". A for loop sure, but I'd probably fail at writing a hash table or whatever despite nearing 10 years of experience on many different projects, including compiler frontends and a simple garbage collector I wrote for the fun of it.
afaik:

On promise: Use containers but the data folder should be mounted volume

Isn't there a totally separate TikTok for China?

>TikTok, whose mainland Chinese and Hong Kong[3] counterpart is Douyin,[a][4] is a short-form video hosting service (...)

>While TikTok and Douyin share a similar user interface, the platforms operate separately.[28][4][29] Douyin includes an in-video search feature that can search by people's faces for more videos of them, along with other features such as buying, booking hotels, and making geo-tagged reviews.[30]
