I think the answer is that in a case when you need that speed, you hoist the stack allocation & zeroing and unsafe that buffer in the loop if need be. Test well. I am a huge Rust fan but also it is actually possible to write correct unsafe code.

If I am interacting with from IO space, I would much rather write the interaction code myself for the machine at hand than farm it out to an array of third party crates. ::shrug::

getting the machinery to let it properly be hoisted smoothly and safely would be nice, but it isn't required.

personally I think rust macros are very painful and the "worst feature", but that's speaking as someone who did a fair bit of Common Lisp.
It is something AAA game studios tend to care about when picking their tools of trade.
All of these surveys are pointless, all that matters is do they use it or not when they have a choice, and the answer seems like a resounding no.
So it is in fact a yarn/npm situation: an alternative tool that does too many things and aims to replace a bunch of other tools.

I read the same sentiment about poetry a few years ago. Turns out tools that do one thing well are better in the long run.
Reminds me of this quote by Bill Gates to Steve Jobs, when Jobs accused Gates of stealing the idea for a mouse:

> "Well, Steve… I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbour named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."
Thanks for the intrigue, and yes these are all valid questions and things I'm trying to work out.

I think I need to narrow down the market a bit. Currently I'm aiming more at audio and sound design experimenters rather than the deep technical stuff - although that is a goal later.

I'd like to create a 'listener app' so people can have full immersion, control, and exploration of audio scenes.

The binaural process is more of a high powered, more flexible and controllable version of a binarual plugin, so this would be for making binaural mixes rather than slapping on everything.

I personally think the binauralizarion is one of the best sounding out there, it sounds great on headphones and has excellent sound localisation.

But you are completely right. I'm still working out product market fit, and I think it's why I'm finding a bit of friction reaching the right audience.

Thanks for your thoughts! Any feedback and input is very appreciated
Not a Christian or follower of any organized religion but IMHO: Humanity (capital-H) is immortal; individual humans are not. Individuals are like the memory cells keeping the accumulated body of knowledge alive, and that body of knowledge is “God” or whatever, simultaneously human and spirit, an entire other world of Idea hosted in a distributed form in our physical reality.

It's like a DRAM refresh where new individuals are born, some bit of the accumulated knowledge gets passed on to them, the old individuals die off, but the knowledge is Eternal. In this sense, human love and reproduction literally makes more room for more Knowledge, and that's why the people who want to rule physical reality as a sort of false-god constantly try to convince us to have fewer humans, The Population Bomb, Maintain Humanity Under 500000000, etc.
I don't remember stating that having 5 senses were necessary to be human. This reads like a very uncharitable dismissal of what's really a very interesting topic.

Helen Keller, despite lacking sight and hearing, was still able to perceive the world through sensory input, including taste, touch, and smell - and although she could not hear, she could still feel warmth and the touch of another human, and experienced emotions. (She may not be the best example for your argument, either, as she was born with sight and hearing.)

A better question might be, how much less of a human is a human brain organoid? https://www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/artificially-gro...
Copyrights are for big companies, rich people, or smart people. If you aren't any of those, no one really cares... that is the current feeling about all this.
Maybe someone can answer how this is done.

Simply, the mad crushing dash to get the last bit of committed inventory.

Ticketmaster has 50,000 General Admission Taylor Swift tickets and 1M fans eager to hoover them up.

This is a crushing load on a shared resource.

I don't know if there's any reasonable outcome from this besides the data center not catching on fire.
To clarify my point:

Learning how to make a small website is useful, and so is the website.

Learning how to finetune a large GPT is useful, and so is the finetuned model.

Learning how to train a 124M GPT is useful, but the resulting model is useless.

Proceeding to link to Wikipedia while claiming the Vatican took their opinions from the Torah especially since their references are an actual bibliography is very reductive.
It does seem like the routine could be automated more, no?
Sometimes you talk to someone (possibly online, usually about a shared interest), and they ask you what your thoughts are on X. Then you can just link them, if you have written on X (or related).

Sometimes others want to express a (non trivial) idea to someone else, and your writing may be the best thing they know that gets the message across. Then they can send it.

Sometimes (or rather, always) your idea and writing is not the best or final thought you have on the subject. But it is not until someone has read and commented/replied (thoughtfully) that you understand what the next refinement is.

And then there is serendipity, just putting it out there to see what might (or might not) come of it.

Plus maybe one finds it motivating to have it actually accessible for others. As a clear goal and a standard to hold each piece to.

The java thing is an off the shelf application, there is no way to turn off the generated id. So someone slapped some php glue code on it, php being the majority of the code. It is far from optimal, but good enough now to end up low on the priority list.

As it runs on windows, I might move it to linux and add sed or something in the chain, losing the php completely. But for now, php it is.
No, they did not. They slowed down the CPU in order to reduce battery consumption via throttling, which changed the performance of the iPhone device to compensate for a bad battery. It's not the same thing, and yes they did get sued for it and lost, and yes it's an example of what I mean by Apple having done shady things also.

It's been around 2000 years with many divisions and sects so I don't think you can give a single definition. Early Christians didn't agree on the divinity of Jesus. Hell wasn't christian doctrine until 400CE. Some Christians believe heaven is on earth itself and you'll be resurrected on earth, in your original body, when that times comes.

On topics like history or biology if a model's answer is surprising I might check Wikipedia and call it out on it's bullshit by explaining how Wikipedia contradicts it and pasting an excerpt from Wikipedia. But frankly if the model can't even reliably internalize Wikipedia I don't have much hope for complex feedback training based on my chats.

While it's possible Wikipedia is wrong, the model always agrees with me when I correct it, so that isn't going to help with training either.

Of course for anything high stakes relying on a model probably isn't a great idea.

According to actual data rather than vague virtue signalling: There were 53,442 women students enrolled at U.S. medical schools in 2023. They made up 55% of all medical school students. Women first became the largest gender group enrolled in medical schools for the first time in 2019. There is still a shift towards men between application and enrollment, one could just wildly assert that that is either/both evidence of and/or a betrayal of meritocracy, but there is no actual evidence of any of that unless you have actually sat on a medical admissions committee.

I doubt the fact that you believe this to be true but it is actually false will change much about your perspective. But given the throwaway nonsense I feel like its worth the time to point out.

FWIW, there is an alternative to OCA film that's slightly easier to apply in small quantities without specialized hardware - it's called LOCA glue (i.e. Liquid OCA).

The main data access difference between OLAP systems and OLTP systems is how many records on average do you need to access:

- OLAP: most queries need most records (aggregations span large swaths of data)

- OLTP: most queries access just a few records

Also, in OLAP, in many cases, you can live with a single-updater model without much trouble, where OLTP, the strength is to have many concurrent updaters (but mostly non-overlapping).
No, the political mudslinging is not yet at the level where it will interfere with the methodological investigation of the circumstances, and making and implementing recommendations so that it does not happen again.

The political mudslinging will distract the general population from that process, but that's all right - they weren't involved in it anyway.
An explanation of why: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11965368/814422

There are some important caveats, though, around trap or non-value representations. Basically, the value held by the storage for a variable may not correspond to a valid value of the variable's type.

For example, a bool variable usually takes a full byte but only has 2 valid representations in many ABIs (0 for false, 1 for true). That leaves 254 trap representations with 8-bit bytes, and trying to read any of these is undefined behavior.

Furthermore, a variable may be stored in a register (unless you take its address with &), and registers can store values wider than the variable type--e.g., even though int has no trap representations in memory of the same size, nowadays it's usually smaller than a register--or be in a state that makes them unreadable. Trying to read such a value is also undefined behavior.

So, reading memory in general is defined behavior (just with an indeterminate value) but it has to actually be memory and you have to be reading it into a type that can accept arbitrary bit patterns.

DEF Con 30 – Tracking Military Ghost Helicopters over DC (2022) [video]
Did you read the link that I replied to? Because in that link, what I am responding to, it EXPLICITLY says that the FAA changed the ATC selection process to exclude candidates based on demographics (being not diverse) regardless of their aptitude as tested using a standardized and validated cognitive assessment. These were candidates who had already completed multiple years of schooling and explicitly wanted to be ATCs, so you are talking about a pipeline problem which may or may not exist but is irrelevant to the article I am responding to in the link above my comment.

Per that article, candidates who accepted the pay terms and wanted to become ATCs were /rejected/ explicitly because they were not minorities or otherwise able to produce a biographical or demographic reason for acceptance, even when they scored a perfect score on the standardized aptitude assessment.

If you have something to refute the article the person above me linked, I'd love to see it because I'm incredibly disappointed in what I read about in that article.
I’d love to talk to you more sometime in the future about this. @wvgg.co on Bluesky if you’d like to follow up sometime

> Finetuning weights and building infrastructure around that involves almost all the same things as building a model

Those are two completely different roles? One is mostly around infrastructure and the other is actual ML. There are people who know both, I'll give you that, but I don't think that's the default or even common. Fine-tuning is trivial compared to building your own model and deployments/infrastructure is something else entirely.

A man walks up to an llm and asks it to tell him a joke about a puffin and a badger.

The llm replies with a joke that is barely a joke.

The man says "another."

The llm gives another unfunny response.

"Another!"

Followed by another similarly lacking response.

"Another!"

With exasperation, the llm replies "stop badgering me!"

Except it won't, because that's not a high likelihood output. ;)

Per my hypothesis I never said wealthier men should have more babies. Birth control is a factor here.

Women do marry and prefer richer men. Hypergamy is scientifically true, you can look it up if you want. But birth control changes the outcome even though hypergamy is an influencing factor.

In addition I said health and reputation are factors. So a man with good health but low wealth has one positive factor in his favor.

I feel your entire reply is rude and over the top. Calling my statement junk is not conducive to discussion.
True!

On that …

- It's generally easier for people to know what they _don't_ like than what they _do_. Preferences are defined by process of elimination.

- The commonality is: get lots of people on the same page about you, and you've got a big audience / broad appeal. But the most engaged audience is the one who has strong emotions attached, so being an offender guarantees a ravenous audience … and is generally easier.
Just guessing, but even setting aside VR and whatever kind of stuff they are doing for theaters like imax, there does seem to be an interest in new kinds of immersive 3d audio/video. The Las Vegas sphere aimed to do this iirc, and the money behind it aimed to develop the IP and open similar venues in different places around the world. Supposedly media that’s under development actually uses a smaller copy of the target venue, so if you can do that with a software suite instead it’s probably a good thing.
And to think, you could have done this in software if you had the right to push your own firmware to your Apple Watch.
Agreed this sounds like they are looking for Intl.DurationFormatter.

Temporal.Duration.prototype.toLocaleString will end up using Intl.DurationFormatter though, so that will ultimately be what he wants (probably going to depend on that ICU4X implementation being complete though).
Thank you for your answer. Some code base have chaotic execution path through a monolithic code base (by design). So, for these code bases, I heavily rely on the debugger. But I like your suggestion to use both of them, I think it's a good way to transition slowly and efficiently.

It’s the closing of the frontier. Pioneers opened up new territory, but now it’s mundane. Bankers, grocers, and town councils have all moved in. Streets have been laid out, fence wire strung, and the railroad has decided how you’ll get from place to place. They’re building a courthouse and a jail downtown. The pioneers’ kids are settled in houses; they don’t know how to dress a deer or pick a spot to sleep rough. The frontier that seemed infinite has come to an end.
