> Now, usually I steer clear of FFI, and to be honest the reason is simply that it doesn’t provide the same performance as a native extension.

I usually avoid it, or in particular, gems that use it, because compilation can be such a pain. I've found it easier to build it myself and cut out the middleman of Rubygems/bundler.
This is not cynical. The situation is that a) there will be a team of very expensive lawyers and accountants working out how to best implement the plan that benefits the company (whom you can’t compete) and b) crucially, you have no control and prior on knowledge on what that plan would look like. It is not about the company trying to screw an individual over, it’s more the fact that the company will be very unconcerned if their plan is against your benefit, and you have no way to align your own benefits with the plan.

All visualizations abstract and obscure data. There is no such thing as a fully neutral graph. Should everything just be a raw table?
What sorts of skills are you looking to build? Since this post has a lot of comments about query optimization, I’d suggest query optimization is more in the realm of developers and not DBAs. Schema, query, and index design. DBAs might be more focused on replication/HA, security, fleet management, backups, DR.

I wonder how insurance companies would really react to being deluged with Ai appeals for literally every denial. I have a feeling they would try to make it illegal to do, or just have their own better Ai duke it out with yours.

Thanks for the flashback!

I forget when this was first leaked, but over the years, this has become my go-to example for premium artisanal marketing bullshit.
Sorry n00b here, can you explain more about this or how you did this? I feel like this is definitely a loophole that would be worth testing for.
and if you want to know the reason - I work in small engineering teams, clear communication is paramount. Being indirect or beating around the bush wastes time, leads to misunderstandings, and erodes trust. We need to be direct and concise to ensure everyone's on the same page and projects stay on track - respectfully of course :)

I know someone who works on the technical side of a national newspaper and he has been happy and encouraged me to continue when I pointed out scammy ads ("Japanese knives" and that sort of things).

Seems they don't vet ads individually but can take down ads they become aware of.

With Google however it seems to me money is all that matters.
I used CLion for a few years but it's incredibly clunky compared to VS Code with the clangd plugin, which is also free.
Never mind the content marketing of the "article". Use whatever tool you want to. If all you have is `if env==dev|staging`, that's enough, no need for "Bucket" or whatever. In general terms though:

If you build your feature without wiring it up to the UI it means that you never integrate until the last moment. That way, you can't actually test a user interaction in an actually integrated fashion.

This is really bad, because you will find all the integration problems at the very last moment. Basically when you're about to give it to your customers.

Feature flagging combats that. It allows you to test the entire solution from the point of an actual customer, without exposing it to an actual customer.
Concurrency is not a big problem. The only concurrency issue with Git is that refs (and states like rebase/merge conflicts) are stored in "loose" files. This can be easily and elegantly solved like how jj does it, by putting the repo metadata into the object store too.

You can use a jj repo concurrently, e.g., over Dropbox with coworkers, and all it requires is a minor modification on top of the existing Git data model.
Most claims are ultimately paid by self-insured employers so costs for them would dramatically increase. Most consumers only directly pay a small fraction of total healthcare costs; the majority of costs are paid by their employers. If anything is ever going to force dramatic change in the US healthcare system it's going to be employers balking at absorbing large employee medical cost increases every year.
The inability of the US to stop producing the 1 cent coin is pretty hilarious.

I remember doing this 10+ years ago now for a site called probuilds. I left lol shortly after this. Cool to see that the packets haven’t changed much. (Based on my memory)

Shortly after I released this for TSM riot came out with the api.

It's (at least to me) fairly obvious from both the feature's dedicated page and DataGrip's purchasing page that the AI Assistant is an add-on cost.
For the first example: that’s not censorship? It’s just a bad algorithm. Also, I don’t even know what “left-leaning” means in this context; the top result is from the Australian national broadcaster, and seems pretty straightforward. No one thinks nurses murdering Israelis is a good thing.

For the second example: Mullis is literally insane, and you can still find his opinions on YouTube, as you yourself found. Did you try uploading those lectures you found yourself? I’ll bet money that they won’t be take down (except maybe for copyright).

To be a little less charitable: this is a persecution fantasy. The right wing is not being silenced by YouTube.
I wonder how you code review a half implement feature.
I'm picturing someone holding a screw by the shank to drill it into the wall, but slipping and puncturing their hand with the bit. There should be no cutting edges with force applied in the direction of your body parts.

I might be atypical here but I rarely drive screws without a preplanned hole that's typically made in batches using a jig or machine, like a router or press. I rarely need to drive a screw directly into a random hole I just made.

If I'm constructing ad-hoc, I'm almost certainly using nails. Not only for convenience, but because they tend to be better suited to this kind of construction. An exception might be drywall screws, but even then, you've got a totally different system established for doing that.

I don't see the use case here. I'm also kind of stuck in my ways, though. I'm open to this making sense, but I'm definitely not an early adopter.

I think I might have thought I wanted this before I learned to plan my builds better.
Nota Bene is still a thing! The descendant of XYWrite!
There was an era when this might be feasible but since shrinkflation and the dilution of the alloys in screws, this would immediately ruin all the threads on the heads of screws. I have to be careful with screwdrivers I get from dollar store nowadays because after a few turns, the screw becomes stripped. This does work both ways where wood is as flimsy as cardboard and I can drill with a regular Phillips bit. The Consumer Protection Agency is a joke and if they actually did their jobs this invention would be a breakthrough.
Generally, all problems used for crypto are in NP. Since given the secret, you need to be able to compute it efficiently.

It’s just that being NP hard or complete is not enough.

The theoretical definition of one way functions is used to define cryptography. So reading on that my clarify this some more.
I used to think of Torx as the best until I met a French Canadian who dared me to use Robertson (square).. I did, now I'm all Robertson. The screws stick to the bit before putting them in and always come loose after. Torx acrews often sticks to the bit when they're in. I also seem to need less of a variety of sizes compared to Torx.
But hey, I'll take Torx over Philipps any day.. Not sure why those are still around.
Pretty common physics convention, uncommon when referring to data speeds but common for other things measured over time.

The implication here is that illegal immigration is somehow morally and/or legally justified if legal immigration is too hard. Or that a country is morally obliged to accept immigration of a level specified by a random person on the Web.
Neither of which I find any inclination to agree with.

The article states almost hilariously: "By design, it excludes the vast majority of potential immigrants."

Yes. That's the point. It's by design. By design, the US does not want to accept lots of random immigrants. You don't need to explain how it's difficult by design; it was designed for that purpose.
Indeed, and with a drywall bit, the bit cams out at the exact moment when the screw is deep enough. Yes the bits wear out eventually, but it takes a long time.
Building an OS in the Browser [video]
Thanks for the insight, but a multi-function physical control that requires looking at to know what mode it's in doesn't seem like the panacea to which TFA seems to be alluding.
This take is as bad as it is banal. LLM's are glorified autocomplete? Today I used an LLM to help me figure out an issue with a docker-compose file, what was wrong with my database connection, extract structured data from tens of millions of tokens in a web scraper I'm building, I talked to it about the design of my web scraper and how I should structure the data, and more. How is this like autocomplete at all? I ask natural language questions on a broad array of topics and get back mostly correct answers and that's just autocomplete?

I think a lot of people know a little bit about how LLM's are trained, and then decide that the little bit they know is all there is. Yes, next token prediction is part of the training process, no it's not the only part and it doesn't capture what makes LLMs useful.

This type of criticism - I noticed OP is an author - is like if summed up OP's novels as glorified mitosis. Yes, she started as a single cell and divided over and over and to some extent that is pretty responsible for what the OP is - but it's a bad description that fails to capture what's important.
Don't reify journalists.

I'm so happy (well... I'm something. happy is somewhat hard to come by these days) that I helped a fellow widower. We're in this alone, but together.

My personal view is to hide nothing, NOTHING, from my daughter. The tears, the grief, the pictures, the videos. Talking about death using "death" and not "passed away". Talking about the memories and feelings. About a person no longer being here (not spiritual so no "heaven" for us, no waiting to be reunited). And, so far at least (just closing on 2 years, daughter grew from 4.5 to 6.5), it seems to be working very well. She's happy, active, well adjusted, charismatic and not prone to tantrums or worrisome behavior more than any other 6 years old. And her being happy makes me happy. I KNOW my late wife would've been proud of us both.

TBD has merge requests. It lacks all the weird branches like hotfixes and goes back to a simpler set of branches. But MRs are still there. The author of the post is confused or is trolling on purpose of selling his tool. That is very dishonest.
Spawning a process isn't the right tool for ALL X-language communication. But sometimes it is - and the bias tends to be to overlook these opportunities. When you are comfortable using libraries, you make more libraries. When you know how to use programs, you more often make programs.

> Shelling out to psql

I would recommend using a Postgres connection library, because that's how Postgres is designed.

Note that ongoing communication can still work with a multi-process stdin/stdout design. This is how email protocols work. So someone could design a SQL client that works this way.

I have absolutely written batch import scripts which simply spawn psql for every query, with great results.

> in almost the exact same cases you'd use a shared library

That's the thing. Libraries are an entangling relationship (literally in your binary). Programs in contrast have a clean, modular interface.

So for example you can choose to load the imagemagick library, or you can spawn imagemagick. Which one is better depends, but most often you don't need the library.

Here is a list of examples I have seen solved with a library that were completely unnecessary:

- identify the format of an image.

- zip some data

- post usage analytics to a web server at startup

- diff two pieces of data

- convert math symbols to images

- convert x format to y

I have even seen discourse online that suggests that if you are serious about AI your web stack needs to be in python - as if you can't spawn a process for an AI job.
Are you in the US? Because what you're describing doesn't sound like how it would work in the US.

When the company IPOs, your vested shares would immediately vest into actual shares. At that point, you would be taxed and awarded a W-2. This is non-negotiable, and this is something that the company would be forced to handle. The idea that you have a lingering tax payment due before lockout period expires doesn't make sense to me. Your RSUs are now shares and when that conversion occurred on IPO date, you would have been taxed. You own no more tax until you sell your shares.
>This is precisely the issue with this racial theory from the backdoor, and anyone with any shred of morality/ethics should stand with India, and for the indegeneity of its culture, civilization and languages.

Ask HN: GPU Programming Puzzles and Practice?
I've been enjoying solving LeetCode puzzles for learning Swift to make the language feel more familiar, and was hoping to do similar for learning Metal. Are there any sets of GPU programming puzzles/practice for Metal?
> LLMs are a lot better than my backend engineers who don't even try but not that much better than someone who's skimmed the docs.

LLMs are basically at the skill-set of "Googled something and tried it", which for a lot of basic things is mostly what everyone does.

If you can loop back the results of the trial & error back to the model, then it does do a pretty good simulation of someone feeling their way through a problem.

The loop is what makes the approach effective, but a model by itself cannot complete the process - it at least needs an agent which can try the recommendation (or a human who will pull the lever).
Cute. But 3/16" is way too large a pilot hole for any reasonable screw. I think a #24 screw, which is the largest size of wood screw, has a 3/16" pilot size... and uses a #4 Philips, which is not the bit on this thing (and is sufficiently rare I don't even have one.)
My impression is that a Rails app is an unmaintainable dynamically-typed ball of mud that might give you the fast upfront development to get to a market or get funded but will quickly fall apart at scale, e.g. Twitter fail whale. And Ruby is too full of "magic" that quickly makes it too hard to tell what's going on or accidentally make something grossly inefficient if you don't understand the magic, which defeats the point of the convenience. Is this perception outdated, and if so what changed?
If I'm reading the model correctly, that's comparing Intel machines to AMD machines. I'd imagine it makes sense that there are workloads that AMD does better than Intel (and hopefully vice versa). How do Dadsv6 compare?
Less migrating and more syncing it to an mxroute server so I can get some space back.

The one caveat about this. Gmail has a ~2gb/day limit on transfers so it can take a while.
That’s an interesting take, and honestly, there’s a lot of truth to it. The idea that happiness doesn’t have to come from relentless striving is something we don’t hear enough. Finding peace in ‘being your best mediocre self’ is probably healthier than chasing some external validation that never really satisfies.

Also, I would love to read your book.
Oh please.
Funding you disagree with isn't "waste, fraud, abuse." I don't think there's a single citizen anywhere that agrees with everything the government spends on.

Musk has yet to provide a single line item that does so. If "no need for FOIA, everything is transparent" is so transparent, let us have every single line item, why he thinks it should be removed (the real reason, not "WFA"), and a method to submitting public comments that he then goes over and actually makes decisions like how rule changes are proposed, commented, and finalized in federal registers.

"I dun wan it" isn't a good enough reason.

Lately I've found that this site over relies on non peer reviewed papers. Also, the Arxiv moderation process relies heavily on existing author reputation. I think your categorization of good scientists as people who don't appreciate the peer review process leaves much to be desired. My personal experience is that peer review is the majority of the scientific process and if it feels tedious then your work is part of the mechanics you yourself admonish.

In order to protect against misinformation, at the very least, this question about whether or not there's peer review is necessary.
The ones who appeal presumably would have the strongest cases.
Falling for their propaganda again, maybe intentionally.

The fact that you recognize this in yourself and in your kid already means you're aware enough to help guide him. Maybe the goal isn’t to ‘fix’ it but to help him explore in a way that doesn’t feel like a dead end.
That song is directly inspired by the Pepsi nonsense; the lyrics and backing video [1] have some direct quotes. Definitely the first thing that comes to mind each time a multi-billion company decides to change their logo and nobody likes it.

How is this real? Insane. It is a natural result of people operating in a vacuum with no accountability, yet no real power to make things better. The federal government is a nightmare bureaucracy.
I have a 2016 MBP-15 (sticky keyboard). I suspect Apple changed something so the fans no longer go into turbo vortex mode. Normally it isn't sluggish at all, but when it overheats, everything grinds to a halt.[1] (Presumably this is to keep the defective keyboard from melting again.[0]) Perhaps old OS/bootcamp still has the original fan profiles.

[0]Apple had a unpublicized extended warrantee on these, and rebuilt the entire thing twice.

You say that like there's any plausible alternative. Unless you're compiling the source code running on the car, you are trusting the manufacturer.
Weird that it shows that to me at first as well, but now when I opened the article again, the video seems to be available? Not sure if it was restored just now.
I'm looking at the source code but not seeing any notification popups etc. Where's the notification mechanism beyond writing to stdout? Am I misunderstanding the project's use case?
Thank you for a fantastic piece of writing
I take the opposite approach - bundling is a non-starter for me. But it really depends on what you're building. Bundling can be great for web apps, but for content-driven websites where SEO optimization is key, I prefer the "90s-style" approach and Fullsoak's philosophy.

Also, separate HTTP requests allow for granular caching, and with HTTP/2 the overhead is minimal.
Hopefully Apple keeps up releasing the smaller phone range. I would like to get an iPhone for my son, still a bit too big for him. Maybe when he is 7 :)

I like the glorified mitosis analogy. And psychology is glorified particle physics. It’s kind of true, but you just know there is something else going on there that might explain it better.
You really can. The government often knows when an individual makes a bomb in their garage. The know the recipes and they monitor the ingredients. When someone buys tens of thousands of GPUs, people notice. When someone builds a new foundry, people notice. These are enormous changes.
Can you confirm that this money was somehow “waste” and “graft”? I am not familiar with the details. What was this money allocated for? Who was going to spend it? How was it going to be spent?

I wrote one in 6502 (ok, 6510) assembler for the C-64 several decades ago, which included the ability to edit and save playing fields. I also wrote one in Excel using only formulas (no VBA). Neither of them were the "best" but they were great learning experiments.

Floor wax and dessert topping, all in one!

More substantively this is too big a drill bit for the pilot holes for the screw size it fits... so it won't act as a tool-change timesaver.

Also, forget phillips for new construction. Torx is much nicer.

I’ve seen new people come in to my organization and speak this way. It was amazing how they could so easily lose all credibility within four hours and they were toast at that point.
