Nice shot of nostalgia seeing pictures of the mill in Maynard. I taught C++ classes there back in the early 90's. It was fairly early in my professional career and just being in that building gave me a feeling of having arrived in the place I had been trying to get to for so long.
There is a real problem with the connector design somewhere: der8auer tested with his own RTX 5090FE and saw two of the cable strands reach concerning temperatures (>150ºC).

You have airports that are pretty convenient to the city (assuming that's where you're going). Boston. SFO is at least on BART. The old Hong Kong airport. But newer airports tend to be pretty far out because they presumably need more land and that land isn't available near the city.
Entirely solvable, but requires thinking and discussing things that many find uncomfortable: socialism, equality, etc
Mm you’d be surprised at how many college students are sitting in front of a big TV vegging on youtube shorts
Definitely just feels like a way to make it more painful/expensive for them to sell off their assets and become a for-profit entity.
Its because they started with "roughly 1km/s", which was deemed too difficult to understand for pleb readers, so it was converted to km/h, which is more relatable. Then it was converted to mph for the US audience, and the author just did a straight conversion without really considering the madness that is " about 2237 mph". I hate it when they do this.

1-2km/s, which is a reasonably accurate estimate for these things, should have been translated to "2000-4000mph" and it would have been perfectly good enough.

Obviously the people developing AI and spending all of their money on it (https://www.reuters.com/technology/meta-invest-up-65-bln-cap...) are going to say this. It's not a useful signal unless people with no direct stake in AI are making this change (and not just "planning" it). The only such person I've seen is the Gumroad CEO (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42962345), and that was a pretty questionable claim from a tiny company with no full-time employees.
> Another important finding: Terry is by far the most popular name for a tortoise, followed by Turbo and Toby. Harry is a favorite for hares. All LLMs are loving alliteration.

Mode-collapse. One reason that the tuned (or tuning-contaminated models) are bad for creative writing: every protagonist and place seems to be named the same thing.
Also saw them live. Great band.
I do this as well. /tmp is for things I know for certain that I only need once. Things I'm fairly sure I'll need again go in the proper directory tree. For everything else, I use ~/temp. That gets included in my backups, and I erase its contents after every backup.
Isn't that what sites like the OP are for?

How are you so sure?
One method of return is equity ownership, the other is taxes or low interest rates. I don't think the latter is nearly as viable to recoup the investment.

Look at the numbers. We're talking about going from 1000+% to 5%.

Additionally, I don't think the government could manage an investment fund without complete corruption. Would you trust the president or Congress to invest your money?

VCs make money when they invest their money in winners. Politicians make money when they invest your money in their own pocket.
Fortunately we are nowhere near ASI.

I don't think we are even close to AGI.

That does bring up a fascinating "benchmark" potential -- start a company on AI advice, with sustained profit as the score. I would love to see a bunch of people trying to start AI generated company ideas. At this point, the resulting companies would be so sloppy they will all score negative. And it would still completely depend on the person interpreting the AI.
The cause of that accident has not been determined, and when it is it won't be as simplistic as that.
To be honest, I find it sometimes pleasing, like when introducing some new programming libs:

It’s a variation on a well known problem in the sense that I just added some unique rules to it.

The solution however is not a variation. It requires leaps of creativity that most people will be unable to solve. In fact I would argue this goes beyond just reasoning as you have to be creative and test possibilities to even arrive at a solution. It’s almost random chance that will get you there. Simple reasoning like logical reduction won’t let you arrive at a solution.

Additionally this question was developed to eliminate pattern matching that candidates use on software interviews. It was vetted and verified to not exist. No training data exists.

It definitively requires reasoning to solve. And it is also unlikely you solved it. ChatGPT o3 has solved it. Try it.
I think this AI take is spot on.
It has its uses, but often fail at seemingly simple things.

Didn't think about this, but a new state would lead to a reduction in representatives for high population states like California because of the cap on the house of representatives. California would go from 52 -> 46 reps if my math is right, which is also how many the megastate of Canada would also get.
> That’s nice although probably not of much use to most people

Doesn't that depend on the hardware of "most people"? Even if you have a shit CPU, you probably have at least more than 1 core, so this will be at least little bit helpful for those people, wouldn't it?

Edit: Just tried turning a ~5 minute .wav into .flac (without multithreading) on a Intel Celeron N4505 (worst CPU I have running atm) and took around 20 seconds, FWIW

Really a mouth half full kinda of guy.
Yeah, that would be very helpful to track. Anecdotally, I have found in my own projects that the larger they get the less I can lean on agent/chat models to generate new code that works (without needing enough tweaks that I may as well have just written it myself). Having been written with models does seem to help, but it doesn't get over the problem that eventually you run out of useful context window.

What I have seen is that autocomplete scales fine (and Cursor's autocomplete is amazing), but autocomplete supplements a software engineer, it doesn't replace them. So right now I can see a world where one engineer can do a lot more than before, but it's not clear that that will actually reduce engineering jobs in the long term as opposed to just creating a teller effect.
Yes, traditionally women would engage in passive aggressive slights and backhanded compliments more than men would, who would more likely engage in a physical fight. That is a pattern based on historical reality and observed and acknowledged the world over. Your attempt to make it a pathology to recognize and affirm the observation is itself a pathology, a rabid ideological one.
That's fair. From what I read though I think there is some interplay between Fast and Decent amount of RAM. Or at least there is a large falloff in performance when RAM is too small.

So Cheap and Decent amount of RAM work for me.
The legislature hasn't attempted since John McCain, but he also wanted to replace 1 dollar bills with coins. Perhaps trying to make too many changes at once.

The discussion only resurfaced in 2023 when the US mint released a report about the high cost to produce pennies. No legislative efforts had been introduced since that report.

It'll happen gradually over time, with more pressure on programmers to "get more done".

I think it's useful to look at what has already happened at another, much smaller profession -- translators -- as a precursor to what will happen with programmers.

1. translation software does a mediocre job, barely useful as a tool; all jobs are safe

2. translation software does a decent job, now expected to be used as time-saving aid, expectations for translators increase, fewer translators needed/employed

3. translation software does a good job, translators now hired to proofread/check the software output rather than translate themselves, allowing them to do 3x to 4x as fast as before, requiring proportionally fewer translators

4. translation software, now driven by LLMs, does an excellent job, only cursory checks required; very few translators required mostly in specialized cases
Feels like C-suite thinks if they keep saying it, it will happen. Maybe! I think more likely programmers are experiencing a power spike.

I think it's a great time to be small, if you can reap the benefits of these tools to deliver EVEN FASTER than large enterprise than you already are. Aider and a couple Mac minis and you can have a good time!

In the ~8 years since I worked there, Zuckerberg announced that we'd all be spending our 8 hour workdays in the Metaverse, and when that didn't work out, he pivoted to crypto currency.

He's just trend-chasing, like all the other executives who are afraid of being left behind as their flagship product bleeds users...
I'm happy to see that only one of those animations work in the browser I used.
I agree with elorant. Indirectly, some youtubers ended up demonstrating that it's difficult to run the best models with less than 7k$, even if NVIDIA hardware is very efficient.

In the future, I expect this to not be the case, because models will be far more efficient. At this pace, maybe even 6 months can make a difference.
Another perspective, based on the list of most watched youtube videos [1] - a lot of parents just let it run on the TV for their kids/babies. I used to do it for a while, as well as other parents I knew.

The SmartTube app can vary playback speed. Might be an option if you have an Android TV or Chromecast.
If it were that simple fabs wouldn't offer a standard cell libraries in both high performance and high density varieties. TSMC continues to provide both for their 2nm process. A tradeoff between power efficiency and raw performance continues to exist.

My company allowed us to use it but most developers around me didn't reach out to the correct people to be able to use it.

Yes I find it incredibly helpful and try to tell them.

But it's only helpful in small contexts, auto completing things, small snippets, generating small functions.

Any large scale changes like most of these AI companies try to push them being capable of doing it just falls straight on its face. I've tried many times, and with every new model. It can't do it well enough to trust in any codebase that's bigger than a few 10000 lines of code.

Reminds me a bit of BMWs and their infamous and persistent coolant pump woes. The running joke in those circles is "replacing the entire cooling system" counts as "basic, regular maintenance". BMW makes a fantastic engine, then makes the water pump impeller out of plastic. For what feels like decades.
And people can watch short form content on their TV, so that counts in this too
It is and it feels like the world is fine with it ending up this way.

> Now completing small chunks of mundane code, explaining code, doing very small mundane changes. Very good at.

This is the only current threat. The time you save as a developer using AI on mundane stuff will get filled by something else, possibly more mundane stuff.

A small company with only 2-5 Seniors may not be able to drop anyone. A company with 100 seniors might be able to drop 5-10 of them total, spread across each team.

The first cuts will come at scaled companies. However, it's difficult to detect if companies are cutting people just to save money or if they are actually realizing any productivity gains from AI at this point.
I remember the main reason people start moving away from Express was because the way routing worked in Express it kinda created a performance problem that severely handicapped the throughput of services. I don't know if it ever got addressed (I think it required breaking changes). But it was this article from 2014 that triggered the move away from express:

https://netflixtechblog.com/node-js-in-flames-ddd073803aa4

But the alternatives like Restify and Fastify are very similar to Express in developer experience, so it was not a huge deal to move away from it. One could think that these new frameworks are just a new major version of Express that had a lot of breaking changes.

I watch Youtube almost exclusively on TV. It's great as a cable replacement. The key for me was when my new TV actually had a decent built in TV OS and hardware. So scrolling and using the app isn't painful like it has been on past TVs or external plugin devices.
The companies check, they just realize that humans are human. There are procedures for ensuring that cash handling errors are never made, but they are so wildly expensive and time consuming compared to the option of not hunting down a $.73 discrepancy that it isn't worth it. The procedures typically involve multiple employees counting (this is how the discrepancies are found at the end of the day), or counting all cash in triplicate (this is what bank tellers are doing when they give you the money, they are counting it out for their sake). It is a trade-off that competent management makes, you don't hire two cashiers for every register, and ask them to count everything in triplicate for the sake of a few pennies.

This isn't going to conform to your worldview, but even ATMs and automatic bill accepters make errors. There is a procedure for cash discrepancies even when you take the human out of the loop.
> it works well, though at scale even that can become an issue due to the GIN fastupdate index logic, which can lead to the occasional 20-30 second insert as the buffer gets flushed and the index updated.

Hmm, interesting! I've been having some intermittent issues recently with a Postgres table that uses JSONB, where everything seems to lock up for several minutes at a time, with no useful logs as to why.

Do you have any more info about the GIN issue, and how it can be verified as being a problem please?
I don't care about accusations of xenophobia. I don't like it because I don't like pointless historical revisionism. It's been called Gulf of Mexico since the 17th century, before there was a USA.

And I don't like the stink of arbitrary dictators renaming things for ego or propaganda reasons. This is the sort of thing North Korea or Turkmenbashi would do, and I think that's pathetic for America.
I love it. I can see no downsides (as long as the updated implementations are well tested).

I reject any argument about how mature SQL is at this point. Just bump the version number (SQL 25) if necessary and make it so.
err, on the Android termux thing - building CBQN is annoyingly slightly non-trivial - have to `pkg install libandroid-spawn`, and then `make for-build lf=-landroid-spawn; make lf=-landroid-spawn`, because android doesn't come with posix_spawn.
I would go one further: give government powers to simply purchase things that work well out of the free market, and run it in a way that is pro-quality-of-life rather than profit. Is fast internet working well? buy and invest profit to increase coverage and speed. A lab makes good drugs? don’t buy its drugs, buy the lab.

The capitalist incentive remain: A gap in the market can yield you wealth for 10-20 years until you’re bought out. and government only buys the highest performing stuff of the bunch.

its also the way america handles stem education, often times you skip a bunch of humanities classes. So its really easy to get into this mindset of "I made it, I work in tech and make 300k because Im smart, smarter than everyone around me" and from there people just reach the assumption that if you dont make hundreds of dollars a year its because youre dumb, or lazy, and its your problem and theres nothing wrong with the way we designed society.

Fully agree. Even if it's not completely soft, a 40L-ish travel backpack is just about perfect for most trips unless you just physically can't carry.

I do have a larger travel pack and sometimes favor a slightly larger wheeled pack. But even though it's a bit heavy for any really long schlepping, it's lighter than the wheeled frame and is a lot easier to deal with on trains etc.

My favorite genre of this is the guys proposing Greenfield rewrites of a multi-decade old app, using some tech less than 1 year old.

Turns out brand new stuff doesn't always survive, and even if it does you don't know its tradeoffs & pain points yet.

More specifically, for the verb “give birth to”, the mother is the direct object and their new born child is the indirect object. The verb “deliver” can have the doctor or midwife or so on as the direct object.

I am bringing this up because I had to read your comment several times before I realized it was a comment about language use rather than about the role of doctors in England.

Finally, to be completely pandemic, doctors can give birth to other people‘s kids. My wife, a doctor, gave birth to my sons; there was another doctor there who delivered them.
You might be right and I might be misremembering. I thought there was a some point a subcomittee looking into GUIs in addition to the 2d graphic proposal.

> AI will also enable your competitors to cut costs.

which is why it puts pressure on your own company to cut costs

it's the same reason why nearly all US companies moved their manufacturing offshore; once some companies did it, everyone had to follow suit or be left behind due to higher costs than their competitors
Interesting! AFAICT this would allow to run some JS code in a web browser, right? One thing I don't understand:

> Each web_view class instance represents an independent, asynchronous web-content interface. The provided web_view shall support content complying with the [HTML5], [PNG], and [ECMAScript] standards.

Who is supposed to provide the runtime?

Also, it shows how to call a JS function and get the result back in C++, but how would you interface with C++ from within JS (e.g. in an event handler)?
yeah, don't know, it was just an example. People stream YouTube while doing other things (playing, working, coding) all the time. I didn't want to put too much focus on the "Let's Play" part, it was the first thing that came to my mind :)

We have a handful of coders in our company and it's rare to enter their offices and not see something playing on the second screen.

Connectors and cables is damn near Masters level in knowledge and application. Its a rarely studied and often ignored piece of engineering. The more you learn about them, the crazier it gets.

That being said, this news that the 4090 and 5090 are using but one shunt resistor for all 6 power pins is horrifying to me. I'm not Power Engineer but it looks horrifyingly wrong to my napkin math.
