You are of course right WRT datacenter use of GPUs. The OP spoke about local generation though. It is of course a smaller market, but a market nevertheless, and the more amateurs and students are using your product, the more of them would consider applying it in more professional settings.

Sun (Sparc) and HP (PA-RISC) used to own most of the server market in 1990, but lost most of it to x86 by 2000. Few people had a Sun box with Solaris, but tons of people had access to a PC with Linux, which was inferior in many ways, but well-known and much less locked-up.
The distinction I meant to make is the "cost of doing business" is all the things required to do whatever your thing is.

The food ingredients, the building rent, the electricity and cooking gas, those are all required to make the burrito, every burrito.

The credit card exchange fee is like chocolate sprinkles on ice cream. It's a completely seperate and optional thing. This totally seperate company offers an extra service you may or may not want to add on top of your burrito.

That's nothing at all like the electricity, and is not at all part of the cost of doing business. It's the cost of doing an entirely seperate business.
If I'd have, I might have not developed this:)) It's very hard to define what this thing is, and it's even harder to search for it. (In both my and this case). Also that name is very weird for me as a non-french:)

I have started to mess around with Chataigne, it seems promising, but this far I'm getting stuck at trivial steps (matching a regexp, converting a "contains" to bool, etc). We'll see how I progress with support:)

But that guy is clearly brilliant just like Chataigne.

Thanks for mentioning!
Make no mistake, the US is a fantastic business. It makes a lot of money, and some people get fantastically rich while others toil for life and hover at the poverty line.

With a vastly higher percentage of its citizens in jail than any other developed country, much higher crime and violence than developed countries and many other very bad indicators it is, however, not a good country. It does not provide for or look after its citizens in the ways other developed countries do, and does not appear to be a healthy society.
its a great game

How does a less expressive language help with any of these?

No, you're making up that story and that culture, and when you lose this spurious foundation, you'll just as easily make up some other story based on any other random data.

For example, reality could've been that there was no team involved at all and all those changes came to the original person the moment he made the PR. And the "PR comments" could just as easily refer to his own comments he added during when checking those CI messages and noticing something else and commenting on that not to forget.

This is an interesting take, because it contrasts with GDP PPP [0] which is suggesting that America is in fact being overtaken by its rivals although it has managed to outpace the EU. China is claiming to already be ahead and India is well on track to gain absolute economic ascendancy relative to the US. And I expect that Asia is going to start developing some serious military muscle on the back of that because they have access to the history books and have a pretty good view into how Western leadership thinks.

If the US is benchmarked against Europe then all is well. The problem is that Europe is now a distant 3rd in terms of economic power - it can't face up to China. Arguably, if we put China in its own category and India into "Asia" then the EU might be pushing towards 4th. Everyone is still ahead of Africa I suppose.

My problem with OCaml is that it's in an awkward spot where the runtime offers very little, so it can't really be compared with most Haskell use cases where you want green threads (with preemptive scheduling), transactional memory, and so on. The runtimes of the languages aren't really equipped to do the same things, basically.

So that leaves OCaml in a spot where it instead competes with more bare runtimes, i.e. compiled languages like Odin, Zig and Rust.

In terms of straight forward control of behavior OCaml loses handily to both Odin and Zig. Likewise with how much effort you have to put in to get good performance out of what you're doing, despite what OCaml enthusiasts say it's not magic fairy dust, you still have indirection in terms of expressing your desired allocation patterns, etc., in OCaml that you wouldn't have in Odin/Zig, making it less appropriate for those situations.

So, OCaml's final upside: Language simplicity... It's not remotely small or simple enough to be compared to Odin. Zig (despite their best efforts) is still a simpler and leaner language than OCaml as well. Zig also has the interesting quirk that it can express functors just with its `comptime` keyword (returning structs with parameterized functions, all done at compile-time) in a much more straight forward way than OCaml can, making it almost a better OCaml than OCaml in that particular respect.

Given the above it seems to me that there's always a [obviously] better language than OCaml for a task; it can't really win because whatever you're doing there's probably something that's better at your most important axis, unless the axis is "Being like OCaml".

I liked writing OCaml with BuckleScript, though, compiling it to JS and using OCaml as a JS alternative.
I'm never able to get to the "so what?" with these. Productivity growth sounds nice, but then it mentions that there's more inequality, higher cost of living, and more workers struggle in the US than other developed countries. How do I reconcile this?

They make a point that eventually the other countries' economies would shrink and won't be able to afford those benefits, but also the US doesn't have those benefits even now.

Anyone can elucidate me?

My dad was part of the occupation of postwar Germany.

The bases were there to protect Germany against the Soviets.

I remember once on the autobahn around 1970, and a fighter came by hedgehopping at high speed. He was a few feet off the ground, and looked like just under Mach 1. The citizens didn't particularly like the noise and disruption, but they understood the need for the Air Force to train hard.

I also remember touring East Berlin (yes, East Berlin) in 1969. Going through Checkpoint Charlie and seeing the Wall is plenty convincing of the need for the US military being there.

France, on the other hand, didn't much care for the US military bases and wound up pushing them out.

BTW, the US Military was pretty thorough in making sure US personnel and military families behaved like guests in Germany, as they were invited guests.
Ever since the Berlin Airlift, the US was friends with Germany.

The Americanization of Germany came later. I recall visiting a shopping mall in Germany in the 2000's, and you could not tell you were in Germany rather than in any suburb in America. Shopping malls did not exist there in 1970.
Huh? All of their notebooks use LangChain.
Housing and healthcare costs are insane. When you're older, you need a lot more healthcare (and you won't have that nice insurance plan you had at your big company job when you were working), and housing keeps getting more expensive, which is a problem if you're on a fixed income. You could move to much cheaper locales (i.e. rural areas), but those are "healthcare deserts" where there's no competent doctors left and hospitals are all closing left and right, plus when you're infirm how exactly do you drive yourself? Living in a walkable city (or any city really) is much more doable when you're older for these practical reasons (less need to drive, healthcare providers close by), but then you can't afford the housing there.

More YouTube videos about the eCVT...

1) Better -- much simpler, and above all shorter -- video explanation of the Toyota system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofycaXByTc .

2) Another, a little longer, but very pedagogical and beautifully animated explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_xCssR8qQI . Eight years old, but apparently the "power split device" worked the same even then. Bonus -- short conversation in the comments, arriving at the same conclusion I did above:

It doesn't. The "CVT" is electrically simulated.

Heh, yeah.

3) Titled something about "Launch Gear", but actually on the whole CVT thing (from a channel I semi-regularly watch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HanImTejIVM .

4) A good basic look-through of the various types of CVT and their history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3CA2oZ2ADM .

5) Long and thorough explanation of the Prius powertrain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIYNAroYEk0 . Uses a cutaway of the actual transmission, so good for getting a more concrete picture than e.g. #2 above. But... Long.

6) Another one from WeberAuto like in my parent comment, this time on the (apparently very similar) Honda system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLUIExAnNcE . So likely to be about as good as the previous one, but... 25 minutes more of this? Naah, I've had enough.

There were also some from Scotty Kilmer et al, but... The less said, the better. The ones I'd most recommend are #4 for general CVT stuff and #2 for the Prius e-CVT's operating principle specifically.

Well well, all in all that was quite the rabbit hole.
Worth noting: if you don't specify a time of day in your search, you will see the cheapest flight on that day.

Bots can analyze several thousand flight options (which even the sim does) in a few seconds. So odds are it catches a deal someone might otherwise miss.

Author's frustration comes out of his personal not-necessary dependency choices, but of course his final choice was to blame the technology itself. I have one suggestion for those who are struggling with wouter, or react-video-player, or react-stank-tank-fetch or any other dependency, 100% safe way to start a successful project:

npm init

npm install react react-dom webpack @babel/core @babel/preset-env @babel/preset-react

alias npm="echo do not use"

that's it; you don't need them; they can be replaced with few hooks in 100 lines of code to fit your needs; just write javascript code, react hooks and components; don't install weird dependencies, they won't make it faster or more convenient in the long runl; if there is any other dependency everybody wants and needs, you will see it was last updated 9 years ago on GH and still works great to this day
Good job, thanks for sharing!

This has been the case for decades now.

In Europe it is austerity and general less support for economy-boosting policies.

That's an excellent summary of the economic state of the world. This excerpt is depressing...

The challenge for other advanced economies is not just replicating America’s dynamism. It is to do so while retaining their cherished social safeguards.
For all its economic power, the US has the largest income inequality in the G7, coupled with the lowest life expectancy and the highest housing costs, according to the OECD. Market competition is limited and millions of workers endure unstable employment conditions.

The pessimistic take is that American FA*NG 'enshittification' and cheap Chinese plastic junk will continue to eat the world, while other nations abandon consumer- and labor-friendly policies.

Housing in US is in fact one of the cheapest... everywhere, measured as price per square foot as percentage of income. Several times cheaper than in many countries and at least somewhat cheaper than almost every single one, rich or poor, democratic or authoritarian.

It's just that "normal" housing in the US is what's only attainable to the very rich and only because they inherited it, in most of Europe let's say: even 1% won't be able to buy an equivalent of median new US single family house, in EU - that 1% probably owns a similar or somewhat better house but simply because they bought or built it generations before.
> hire more engineers

I was listening to a podcast with Joel Spolsky recently. He told a story that when he went to Microsoft, they had done internal research (and experiments) to debunk some of the theories from Fred Brooks' "Mythical Man Month". At the time, he generally believed in the "rules" from "Mythical Man Month", and was pleasantly surprised to learn about this further research. In short: Adding more developers does help, up to a certain point.
> * Stop making reactive decisions. If something bad happened on a total, extremely unlikely lark, don't act like it's going to happen again next week.

I don't think this item was well thought through. Taking proactive decisions means allocating work for tasks that do not solve a concrete problem but bear the risk of introducing regressions. On the absolute best scenario, things continue to work as always. On the absolute worst scenario, you introduce a critical regression that brings down the service. There is literally no upside and all downsides.

There are many reasons why "if it ain't broke don't fix it" is tried and true.

> * Resist the urge to build walls between people/teams/departments. Instead, build a culture of collaboration (Hard and squishy and difficult to scale? Yup. Worth it? Absolutely.)

That really depends on what you mean by "walls". The reason Conway's law is a thing is that in order to have functioning teams you also need functional independence. If you need to book a meeting with anyone to justify pushing a change to a service you do not own, that's already a wall. No matter how easy it is to get through that wall, it's still easier to not have to go through it.

I can tell you an example of how independence always beats collaboration. Once I worked on a project where QAs were a separate team entirely, and made it their point to be the sole owners and maintainers of all automated test suites beyond unit and integration tests. We experienced a major regression that the regression test suite wasn't caught. I went right to the head of QAs and asked if I could push a commit to add a couple of regression tests. He politely declined by saying that they were already working on it and I wouldn't need to bother with that. Great, a victory for not building walls I guess? Except that his "we are working on it" ended up being "we added a ticket to our backlog and we might pick it up two months from now". Literally. And they never did, by the way, and the same regression was eventually introduced without anyone noticing.

In case you wonder how I solved that problem, I created my own regression test suite. Conway's law always wins.
Given its long half life doesn’t this mean the power output also very small? Like, what could we power with a kg of carbon 14? My guess is barely enough to light up an LED though. Given that they do not state the power output in the article I’m inclined to believe my assumption here is correct and they don’t state it easily as it renders this tech little more than a toy

At either rate, Thousands of years of continuous power is interesting but I don’t think we have much applications that could make use of it yet. At best we’d maybe put one in an interstellar probe when we feel like doing that but i cant think of much else
> It does not provide for or look after its citizens in the ways other developed countries do

It's worth asking why.

> NATO nations have cut back on troops and military hardware since the Cold War. But Europe has cut far deeper than the US. Defense budgets have become a pot that could be raided to fund more pressing priorities, such as treating and caring for aging populations. As a result, much of Europe’s military has become, in the view of some US defense experts, a “Potemkin army” that is ill-prepared to wage and win a prolonged war.

> In these situations your "egoless domain experts" might actually need the authority to force these things to stop, or might get burnt out spending all their time firefighting or playing hero.

The broader approach here is to encourage frameworks where changes must go through policy-as-code frameworks. SMEs write policy that is then enforced (or just warned, for some period ahead of enforcement) by the policy framework. Policies can encode exceptions, but changes to policy (i.e. to add exceptions) require SME review. The benefit is - stuff that passes policy doesn't require explicit review, so in the normative case autonomous teams are not slowed down, and when they are (due to policy failure), then it is for Good Reasons.

> Mandatory code review isn't a "feel-bad program", it's precisely to guard against disasters like this (also I'm pretty sure it's literally required by SOX/SOC2 and I'd certainly want my software vendors to implement this).

High-trust environments trust engineers to understand the difference between "this is a serious change so I need someone to review it" and "I'm just fixing a typo here so I'm going to rubber-stamp it." But yes, SOC2 requires mandatory code review, tickets, the lot. Yes, it slows things down, but that is the price you pay to become a Serious Enterprise Vendor. No, it doesn't fundamentally erode high-trust culture. People can just mark their MRs as "I need a rubber stamp" and find someone else to rubber-stamp them.
