Usually these things are obvious, no? (If not then it's going to be very challenging to be a [people] manager.)

Depending on location and/or cultural composition of the team these things will be either no-issue (no one cares enough to voice either approval or opposition, if some change is requested by management or some platform introduces some changes it's just inconsequential for the team) or there will be someone who sometimes will voice suppport/opposition so their needs have to be weighted (but as long as there's no conflict within the team it's smooth sailing) and then, if there is conflict then there's obviously a cold war in the making. (And at that point either the manager has enough authority and agency to work out some lasting compromise, start removal of someone, or they are at least can recognize that it's time to look for a new job, as things about to get ugly.)

Jon Jandai moved from a village in rural Thailand to Bangkok, and took up a fulltime labouring job. He struggled to afford enough food to eat, slept in a shared room which was too hot, saved for a month to buy a pair of jeans to wear and realised he was still the same person and still unhappy, and he saw house prices out of reach with educated high-earners working for 30 years to pay a mortgage.

He didn't like it, and moved back to his village. He spends a month planting rice and a month harvesting rice and gets enough rice to feed his family of six for a year, and several times more than that leftover to sell at the market. 2 months a year work, ten months free time. He spends fifteen minutes a day tending a half-acre garden and gets enough vegetables for six people to eat, and more to sell at the market. And he fishes. He built a house with earthen building in 3 months.

He self-reports being much much happier, whether you believe it or not.

> For the record, of course real branches do happen in GPU code

Well, for some definition of "real". There are hardware features (on some architectures) that implement semantics that evaluate the same way that "branched" scalar code would. There is no branching at the instruction level, and can't be on SIMD (because the other parallel shaders being evaluated by the same instructions might not have taken the same branch!)

hm, I'd be concerned about relying on autovectorization. How much better is 'better'? Compiler friends have told me that something permute-heavy like sorting is unlikely to soon work, if ever.

My biased opinion, from doing this full-time in C++, is that the C++ SIMD story is much further along, especially regarding mature libraries.
Massively agreed. I've had this problem for years and always have hundreds, sometimes thousands of tabs open, spread across a couple dozen windows. Memory usage is actually pretty alright with Chrome these days as the vast majority of tabs stay unloaded, and its Memory Saver feature also unloads opened tabs over time, so it's perfectly usable even with 16GB of RAM. Before that I had to use The Great Suspender to keep the memory usage in check.

I feel like I've tried every tab/bookmark managing app/extension under the sun and none of them stuck. I've also thought about creating my own, but it feels like even I don't know what I'm looking for exactly. The main problem I have is that they all have too much friction compared to simply keeping the tabs open. It would have to be something deeply integrated into the browser.

Vivaldi has some really cool tab management features and it would be my main browser of choice, but with my amount of tabs, windows and extensions its UI performance degraded to the point of becoming unusable, whereas Chrome held up just fine. Granted it has been a couple of years since I last tried it so that might have improved since. I'd still recommend anyone with similar "power user" needs to give it a try. It's a pretty awesome browser.

Tab Groups in Chrome are actually surprisingly decent as well. They're pretty low friction, and open tab groups even sync across devices, including mobile, in (near) real time now, which is great. But I do have some issues with them causing me not to use them. For example, when you re-open a closed tab group it will instantly load all of the tabs inside of it, instead of keeping each tab unloaded until visited, like on startup. You also can't add tabs to a closed tab group. So you either always have to keep the tab group open, meaning they're not much more than a visual aid and only slightly more useful than bookmark folders, or store fewer tabs per group, making them even less useful. They also have the same "object permanence" issue as bookmarks, where it's simply too easy to forget about a closed tab group altogether once I close it.
In my time we called that a 'checklist'. We used it for overcomplicated build procedures in some forsaken Microsoft toolchain that did not have build automation, and which spanned several different systems that were firewalled off from each others.

I've been using this for years until early 2009, when I formatted my laptop with Ubuntu 8.04 and started running Windows in a VM. IE was still important back then and I needed to check web sites with it.

I was running Rails and other web frameworks inside colinux. I switched after I made sure that everything I was running in Windows for my work did run well in Linux. I remember that those very same programs run faster in Ubuntu than in Windows. The most notable improvement was GIMP's starting time: many times faster.
There are also two axis of deficit in autostic individuals. Social and cognitive. Its not uncommon for individuals to present without cognitive deficit, however social deficits can still be severe e.g. A 5 year old who cannot participate in class due to meltdowns and inability to follow social norms such as sharing/turn taking/listening.

I haven't read these studies, but it seems natural that there would need to be control for the type and severity of autism.
This article is manifest nonsense. It's the usual "fiat" money is bad and bitcoin is good story, heavily salted with a series of non-sequiturs.

They can't even get the simplest of facts right. The government doesn't "print" money, it has no ability to do that. The Fed can create and destroy money and it does so for carefully considered reasons and with a well defined strategy.

Bitcoin adherents don't want to know that because they're in the business of starting with their conclusion, and desperately working backwards in any possible way they can.
> it's also concerning that we have syntax where an if is some times a branch and some times not.

That's true on scalar CPUs too though. The CMOV instruction arrived with the P6 core in 1995, for example. Branches are expensive everywhere, even in scalar architectures, and compilers do their best to figure out when they should use an alternative strategy. And sometimes get it wrong, but not very often.
No I imagine competing in price with boulders and a 3d scanner.
> the meaning I grew up with, which is that a conditional is a branch

A conditional jump is a branch. But a branch has always had a different meaning than a generic “conditional”. There are conditional instructions that don’t jump, e.g. CMP, and the distinction is very important. Branch or conditional jump means the PC can be set to something other than ‘next instruction’. A conditional, such a conditional select or conditional move, one that doesn’t change the PC, is not a branch.

> take a continuous function […] Then you’d just have an f(x) that has no branching

One can easily implement conditional functions without branching. You can use a compare instruction followed by a Heaviside function on the result, evaluate both sides of the result, and sum it up with a 2D dot product (against the compare result and its negation). That is occasionally (but certainly not always) faster on a GPU than using if/else, but only if the compiler is otherwise going to produce real branch instructions.
Show HN: FXYT Community Demos: Patterns drawn with stack-based, postfix language
Hello HN!

About ten months ago, I introduced FXYT in a Show HN post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39798542. FXYT is a tiny, esoteric, stack-based, postfix, language for colouring a graphical canvas with just 36 simple commands.

Since then, a few HN community members have experimented with it, creating fascinating patterns and animations. I've collected some of these demos on a dedicated page and wanted to share them here. Hope you enjoy them!

If you craft an interesting demo that fits within 256 bytes of code, please do share them here! I'd love to add it to the demo page.
I dislike the term bullshit because it's use regarding ChatGPT does not match the dictionary version "stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense".

If your sentence "LLMs output is bullshit" is wrong you may be better off changing the sentence than rewriting the dictionary to fit your sentence.

I mean you can redefine words if you like, like how young people use sick and bad to mean much the opposite of what they did, which is fine as a fashion statement, but in trying to reason about LLMs it muddies the reasoning. Which of course is often why academics do it - see Hobbes, Calvin 1993 https://www.reddit.com/r/calvinandhobbes/comments/1300k80/ac...
At that point, wouldn’t the man pages be better than asking 4o?

It was already wrong once.
It is irrelevant in this particular case because the script is supposed to eventually get more integrated, to become a do-something script - and then you do not want to change the main function (which by then becomes an ordered list) too much, and work within the individual classes.

So why not just use functions directly? Well, sometimes things are too complicated to be put in a Clean-Code-compliant function, and standardisation means less maintenance / and less rewriting if it turns out what you considered function-simple ... isn't.
The author frames his post to be about education:

> For example, if Newton's laws are in conflict with another fact, the LLM will defer to the fact that it finds more probable in context.

Which is the correct thing to do. If such a context would be, for example, an explanation of an FTL drive in a science fiction story, both LLMs and humans would be correct to put Newton aside.

LLMs aren't Markov chains, they don't output naive word frequency based predictions. They build a high-dimensional statistical representation of entirety of their training data, from which then completions are sampled. We already know this representation is able to identify and encode ideas as diverse as "odd/even" and "fun" and "formal language" and "golden gate bridge"-like. "Fictional context" vs. "Real-life physics" is a concept they can distinguish too, just like people can.

Let me give you a complementary perspective. Same problems all of you have but I work in a small lab team of PhD biologist who generate huge omics data set and even larger lightsheet microscopy and MRI datasets but don’t know how to do a VLOOKUP in Excel. And who do not know the exotic acronyms: LIMS, QA, QC, or SQL. Yes, really.

What do we typically do in academic biomedical research in this situation?

The lead PI looks around the lab and finds a grad student or postdoc who knows how to turn on a computer and if very lucky also has had 6 months of experience noodling around with R or Python. This grad or postdoc is then charged with running some statistical analyses without any training whatsoever in data science. What is an outlier anyway, what do you mean by “normalize”, what is metadata exactly?

You get my drift: It is newbies in data science and programming (often 40-and 50-year-olds) leading novices (20- and 30-year-olds) to the slaughter. Might contribute to some lack of replicability ;-)

And it has been this way in the majority of academic labs since I started using CPM on an Apple 2 in 1980 at UC Davis in an electrophysiology lab in Psychology, to the first Macs I set up at Yale in a developmental neurobiology lab in 1984, and up to the point at which I set up my own lab in neurogenetics at the University of Tennessee with a pair of Mac IIs in 1989 and $150,000 in set-up funds, just enough for me to hire one very inexperience technician to help me do everything.

So in this context I hope all of you can appreciate that ANY help in bringing some real data science into mom-and-pop laboratories would be a huge huge boon.

And please god, let it be FOSS.
My point was it can be marketed as Patriotism, and I'm sure enough number of targeted audience will buy that bs.
You think some mysterious people or aliens built something as technologically complex as a planned urban city, with a clear grid, subdivided districts with schools and commercial centers... that facilitates the application of human labor, commerce, worship and education and then gifted it to some other people who somehow knew how to use and maintain that technology?

To most Americans today, who have no idea why their country works the way it works, and would rather tear it all down, I'm sure the actions of the last few generations might seem alien.
UML and "as little overhead as possible" probably shouldn't appear in the same train of thought. I remember it from the very earliest Linux VPS providers, IIRC it only got semi-usable with some custom work (google "skas3 patch"), prior to which it depended on a single process calling ptrace() on all the usermode processes to implement the containerization. And there's another keyword that should never appear alongside low overhead in the same train of thought

I can't give details on how we do our selections (not nvidia but another gpu manufacturer). But we do have direct contacts into a lot of studios and we do try and help them fix their game if possible before ever putting something in the driver to fix it. Studios don't pay us, it's mutually benefital for us to improve the performance of the games. It also help the game run better on our cards by avoiding some of the really slow stuff.

In general if our logo is in the game, we helped them by actually writing code for them, if it's not then we might have only given them directions on how to fix issues in their game or put something in the driver to tweak how things execute. From an outside perspective (but still inside on the gpu space) nvidia does give advice to keep their competitive advantage. In my experience so far ignoring barriers that are needed as per the spec, defaulting to massive numbers when the gpu isn't known ("batman and tessellation" should be enough to find that), and then doing out right weird stuff that doesn't look like something any sane person would do in writing shaders (I have a thought in my head for that one, but it's not considered public knowledge. )
Also, a good way to log processes in cases where such logging is essential.

... OLE is one of those things that have been forgotten under POSIX hegemony.

What people remember of the Office '95 file formats was that they were 'proprietary' but it was worse than that in the sense that these were really meta file-formats that would let you embed a 'file' inside a file which would be handled by some arbitrary EXE, so to process any Office '95 file you really need a Windows installation with all the EXEs and DLLs required by that file, thus when Microsoft came out with ActiveX [1] I was really terrified that you'd need a Windows computer to browse the web in a year or two.

I find the 'app' model to be user-disempowering thing since the app chooses what you can do with the data, but 'photos' and 'videos' are something really different because there is a standard format for those so I can take photos with my DSLR or my tablet or make images with a Python program or edit them with Photoshop or MS Paint or the GIMP and view them with different apps, print them out, upload to a web server, etc. A system could provide a different API for accessing this kind of functionality but I'd say it is fundamentally a step back to have to read data with the same program you wrote it with.

About Me: I'm Adarsh Shah—an Independent Consultant, Engineering Leader, Architect, and Public Speaker with over 20 years of experience in DevOps/Cloud, MLOps, and Backend Development.

Before moving into independent consulting, I founded CloudKnit(https://github.com/cloudknit-io/cloudknit), an open-source cloud environment orchestration product. I bootstrapped and built it with a small team, taking it from concept to market. Along the way, I grew the business into a profitable venture and secured multiple enterprise customers, including a seven-figure deal with a Fortune 50 company.

Now, I help startups and enterprises build scalable, cloud-native solutions and accelerate their technology roadmaps.
