I first joined the corporate world in 2018. (previously, I worked in government) I was absolutely shocked by my first job; the open office was incredibly loud, and we'd get on Zoom calls while sitting next to each other in the open room. I wouldn't be able to talk correctly as my own voice would play itself back to me from my coworker's mic. There was so much cross-talk and noise I could barely get any work done. We had a couple offices at this company, and one was somewhat near an outdoor diesel generator, which would flood the office with diesel fumes when it ran weekly for maintenance.

I have no idea what the hell the business owners were thinking, but working there was one of my worst jobs I've ever had.
That one is pretty easy to implement. The Cooper & Torczon book describes the algorithm well and has worked examples. https://shop.elsevier.com/books/engineering-a-compiler/coope...

Note also if you’re dealing with weird control flow you might get oddities in translating out of SSA form: https://www.tjhsst.edu/~rlatimer/papers/sreedharTranslatingO.... Sreedhar’s algorithm for translating out of SSA form is relatively easy to implement.

This is probably useless to you unless you know Common Lisp, but I put together a couple of toy implementations of these algorithms years ago to help myself learn them. There’s a couple of nits the papers gloss over that are noted in comments. You’ll need to compute liveness and dominance frontiers. Examples for those are in the project too. https://github.com/rayiner/portfolio/blob/master/ssa_analysi...

in german "pfund" has been adapted to mean 0.5kg and remains in use as a colloquial term for that to this day. so you can keep calling it a quarter pounder.
Well, on the whole you can't because OpenAI isn't listed. If it was, retail investors would be piling in.
This doesn't sound right, seems like you are jumping metaphors. The computing resources are the limit on the evolution speed. There's nothing that makes an individual desirous of a faster evolution speed.
Months ago I was trying to debug why this[0] solver didn't quite work. If someone wants to spend some time debugging it, you're welcome to it.

It's a Rust compile time Sudoku solver. It solves the almost complete puzzle, not the "real" puzzle.

Many stuff gets invented in raw form much before everyone receives it in a much more structured way.

Around 2007 when Linux namespaces started getting better support, I had made a small executable to use these system calls and to spin up a squashfs image 'just for compiling stuff for another system'. Much later, this whole method was replaced with 'docker run'.

> To make writing and maintaining sql easier.

From my experience there are a lot of programmers that simply don't write SQL at all. They use an ORM or some query building library in their preferred programming language. So they're the ones that don't understand the problem when handwriting SQL, because they simply don't do it. Even the parent comment here is talking about PHP array syntax instead of SQL.

I write all of my queries directly in SQL, and I run into the trailing comma issue somewhat frequently. It's a minor annoyance, but I've just been dealing with it forever and accepted it.
At what % would it no longer be Linux ? What happens when they backport fixes from upstream for certain problems ?
I probably hand-write and generate more SQL than most. I don't find this to be anything to be concerned about--there's so much change coming soon.

If I had to choose I'd opt for better editors.

Its surely not for everyone but I think this is the wrong take. They did not detail how the rest of the days look but one can imagine they are not launching a Threads every week/month/year. This must have been an exciting project for folks.
You don't need rationalism or the scientific method if you really really strongly believe you are right.

This is absolutely true.
I feel like if you actually start writing the amount of queries where this would be useful you stop caring about tiny details like that.

All of the answers given at this point seem to rely on intuition and how things "should" work. Intuition like that is great, except when trying to approach something that seems like a paradox when applying just intuition.

An expression like "0.999 repeating" does not just fall from the sky, after which we go ahead and probe it to figure out what it is or means or what it's equal to. A mathematical construction is precisely defined. So one goes to the definition and asks: what does "0.999 repeating" mean? After several rounds of unpacking definitions and verifying certain properties of convergent real sequences, one arrives at the conclusion that "0.999 repeating" is in fact 1. They are one and the same. Not "asymptotically", not "approximately" – they are the same. They are just written out differently. Your and mine handwriting is probably different, but that doesn't mean the number 1 written by one of us is different from the number 1 written by the other.

This is a typical misunderstanding about mathematics. Everything in mathematics is defined by humans, and the definitions can be unpacked layer by layer. The natural world is full of things that just exist, fully formed, without human interaction. The natural sciences give us wonderful tools to probe those things and figure out what they are and how they are. That's excellent, but it's usually not the right tool for answering questions like in this thread.
> Dr. Tai provably was.

No, we have no proof of that. We just know that she published a paper explaining the trapezoidal rule.

(A) That approximation for 'nice' curves was known long before calculus. Calculus is about doing this in the limit (or with infinitesimals or whatever) and also wondering about mathematical niceties, and also some things about integration. (B) I'm fairly certain she would have had a bit of calculus at some point in her education, even if she remembered it badly enough to think she found something new.
How would a change in engine tech from jet to turboprop give more space to the passengers? Even if they are more efficient, that just means the airline can save on fuel but cram just as many paying passengers into the fuselage.

I also don't think "Many people would gladly pay for..." has been proven in the marketplace. If anything, the success of Ryanair, Easyjet and co has resoundingly proven that people will gladly suffer less spacious seating if it means paying less.
Best as I can tell most of the disadvantages relate to larger batches. And for home use you’re likely running batch of 1 anyway

Great point about team mental context!

Without knowing the context I would guess that this a bad refactor (away from revealing the intention)... probably including some cases of applying new abstractions that don't fit the real problem. How does that match with your experience?

Update: it occurs to me that I have seen complex code (for which people would need a mental map) be simplified so drastically that no-one needs to worry about mental maps. I would much prefer "no-one needs a mental map" over "there's a team with good mental maps".
If it was Musk's plan to look foolish and petulant by being forced to buy a company for what he said he would buy it for after briefly trying to pull out of a deal, he succeeded wildly.

But there is no apparent benefit to this: He paid what he had already guaranteed he would pay and received what he at various (but not all) times said he wanted to buy, just with extra steps that made him look worse.

Not being able to get your kid to sleep because the upstairs flat is now a weekend party place for tourists is… a non-problem?

‘Wonderful’ convenience for tourists, sure. Writing off reasonable objections as ‘ideological zealotry’ from ‘bad political actors’ is a very weird take.

Case in point, I recently backed out of buying a house when I found out the house next door was an Airbnb, and the neighbours were not digging the thoughtless visitors. Is that an ideological preference or a pro-sleep one?
I've seen this so many times it hurts - and yet people don't learn.

Many companies choose to reorganize because it's easier and less disruptive than addressing deeper operational inefficiencies.

Structural changes—like reshuffling teams or altering reporting lines—are relatively simple and give the illusion of progress.

However, true improvement comes from optimizing processes and execution, which require deep expertise, discipline, and often cultural change.

So without tackling these harder challenges, reorganization often results in minimal long-term impact.

Fun fact, Japan learned most from American teachers sent after the war... We can learn a lot from our own...

Both on Wikipedia and on Merriam-Webster, "family name" is given as a synonym of "last name" or "surname". In my own language as well, "family name" is simply understood as a part of your legal name with slightly different rules.

Perhaps in genealogy circles your definition applies. But it's certainly not how the word (well, expression?) is used in common language in English, and I bet in other languages either.

> We don't even write utilities in JVM languages, because spawning whole JVM is generally considered too expensive.

This is definitely not why, at least today. People are even willing to spawn an entirely new userspace (docker) for their utilities.

> Yet there are people who will happily spawn whole web browser and even go as far as recommend doing so.

Electron, like the JVM is nice and cross-platform with no BS. The only problem with the JVM is that it doesn't have a lot of important features/historical advantage that web tech does, not to mention the difference in quality between web UI and Swing, JavaFX, etc,. The combination of all of this is pretty much why electron is preferred. And I guess I should say chrome-tech instead of web-tech.

> All because they can't even write a left-pad function

Well, they certainly want the functions they write to work on every possible combination of OS/userspace.

What do you mean by that? And how acquainted are you actually with airport security?

I have a family member who works at a (European) airport in an administrative position, and apparently the security culture is quite deep and, I dunno, it sounds reasonable? As in, employees have clearances and passes to enter the more restricted areas (and they go through their own security points), the airport generally knows where the employees are and why they're there, the public areas have guards and many cameras and even the layouts of the stores and booths are subject to many security rules regarding materials and even stuff like camera sightlines.
> This is the the strongest argument for not shaming reinvention...

Sounds like a pretty weak argument? I'm sure there are some good arguments for re-invention. But this ain't one of them.

Basically, re-invention for fun or to help gain understanding is fine. But when you publish a 'new' method, it helps to do a bit of research about prior work. Especially when the method is something you should have heard about during your studies.

Yeah, I presume so. At least that's what Swiss Tables do. The paper is focused more on the asymptotics rather than the real-world hardware performance, so I can see why they chose not to handle such edge cases
This feeling of letting it "wash over you" is a verbal construction that is very helpful and apt for some, but others may describe it's different. Some people may start to think of it as "experiencing these feelings with more remove" or something. It's something that takes practice often done with guidance from a therapist or psychologist.

For many (this is not universally true), what is experienced as "anxiety" is like a preset program or routine that auto-executes across cognitive, behavioral, and emotional channels. CBT isn't a cure, but helps you interrupt the program during its cycle or before it starts by inserting new and different programs that don't auto-run without effort. As you sense your anxiety spiking ("awareness training" may be needed to get this early insight), you engage in behaviors or techniques to prevent the normal cycle of anxiety spiraling and calm the nervous system.

It is effective, but it is not a magic trick and takes practice.

If they can keep raising money from investors, that seems proof enough to me that the economics must be good enough.

Ie investors would only put up with losing money (and keep putting up money), if they are fairly convinced that the long run looks pretty rosy.

Given that we know that SpaceX can tap enough capital, the uglier the present day cashflow, the rosier the future must look like (so that the investors still like them, which we know they do).
Copyright laws govern republication, broadcasting, and it can be argued that the AI models are not republications of the content. For example software piracy is republication as illegal copies are made available. They do not govern the actual use of software.

The software license then comes from the agreement that you can get a copy of a particular software with particular usage limits, and those limits only, but this agreement is not derived from copyright law.

There are three places to accumulate latency, the input from the instrument to the computer, the processing of filters, the output to the monitor (headphones/speakers)/recording. Sometimes you can get away with 2 or 3 ms of latency, but anything over 5 ms is super frustrating. Remember, you're fighting the latency between plucking a string or hitting a key and when the computer acknowledging the data and sending it back out to the monitor which you're using as your guide. Best case you go and "massage" the new track to line up with the existing tracks, worst case it sounds like an out of sync high school marching band.

EDIT: The concerns here are primarily with input latency. Between plucking a string and heading it in your monitor it has to go through: your input hardware, the USB interface, the OS, the browser (which doesn't have explicit low latency capabilities), and JS. Most platforms support ASIO which is a low-level driver for reading audio data from devices. About as close to reading the ADCs yourself. Without a low-latency driver working with the OS there's so much latency overhead it's audible.
The numerous crime statistics in all other western countries very much back that up.

I believe a major source of Apple’s software decline to be the self-imposed yearly deadlines which started after Steve Jobs. Prior to that, new macOS releases came out whenever they were ready. Maybe they were buggy, but by the end of each cycle they were fairly solid.

Compare to now, where they announce major features (Apple Intelligence), keep them in beta for over half a year, then have even less time than that before the next WWDC where they are expected to announce new stuff.
