- or to Ukraine to help rebuild and also take advantage of what I see as an almost inevitable economic boom as soon as russia collapses
Great opportunity for someone ballsy to write a book about kubernetes internals for the general engineering population.

Bonus points for writing a basic implementation from first principles capturing the essence of the problem kubernetes really was meant to solve.

The 100 pages kubernetes book, Andriy Burkov style.
The aboriginal language Guugu Yimithirr, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guugu_Yimithirr_language, uses cardinal directions instead of relative, e.g. "That man is to the west of her" instead of "That man is to the left of her", which of course means that speakers need to be aware of the direction they are facing at all times, and thus these people have a remarkable sense of direction.

Can't remember where I first heard about this, I think it may have been a Malcolm Gladwell book, but in any case if you search you can find lots of articles on the topic.
Yeah. As a high schooler I just wanted to use AIM on it, but all the web-based AIM clients required Flash at the time, which wasn't supported in the PSP browser.

So I ended up hacking together a site called AIMonPSP with PHP and MySQL that did all the AIM communication on the server instead of client-side. Made a decent amount of money (for a high schooler) on AdSense banners, and learned a lot about software design the hard way.
I am glad it helps you, but the amount of pain inflicted in the name of religion and gods in this world makes your assertion naive, to put it politely.
If one compares O3-mini's coding abilities to the original GPT-4. It is as large as GPT-3 to GPT-4 gap

GPT-3: Useful as autocomplete. Still error prone, but vastly better than any pre-AI autocomplete

GPT-4: Already capable of independently coding up simple functions based on natural language.

O3-mini: Can code in say top 5% of codeforces.

There's a 2 years gap between each of them.

I'm thinking about moving from Hungary (Eastern Europe). I used to live in London in my twenties but came home (what is home? I miss the UK) to settle down. But the leading right wing party is poisoning this country for Chinese money so I'm forced to move.

I think with all its problems US is still the best country in the world, but moving there is not an option for me. Even with a H-1B visa or whatever that's called, I don't like the idea of being tied that tightly to my employer. The US is still the source of innovation (imho for cultural reasons). I feel like my spirit is closest to the American one. Love for freedom, self-sufficiency etc.

Since the USA is not an option I'll settle for one of the European countries. Candidates are Spain, Switzerland or Austria.

Reasons are: Spain has cheap properties and amazing nature, Switzerland has an extremely high quality of life and wealth, and Austria is close to my home country.

So the size of nand gates is still roughly 28nm, but if you measure a car from above its size is fixed, if you stand the car on its nose you can measure it from above and it’s “smaller”, this is FinFet, then fold down the roof and the wheels and that’s roughly GAA. The car size stays the same - the parking density increases. It’s more marketing than reality but density is up …

As for clock speeds, yes and no, basically thermal limits stop most CPUs running full time at full speed - the problem was obvious back in the day - I would build PCs and carefully apply thermal paste to the plastic casing of a chip - thus waiting for the heat of the transistors to heat up the plastic to remove the waste. Yes they are working on thermal something something directly on the layers of silicon.

> There are relatively fine-grained settings of what to get notified about.

Anecdotal, but it seems the mobile app resets those settings every so often so you start to get spammed with crap you don't want to read.

I eventually just blocked the linkedin app from sending any notifications and rely on the emails which I have filters on.
It was definitely not perfectly clear. I was very confused when I first read the comment.

If we were talking about laptops I would know M3 refers to the processor, but there's literally a car named "M3" that's been popular for nearly 40 years.
American here. Moved to Spain three and a half years ago and will never look back.

Edit: Though, if we did it again we might consider Lisbon. I'd never been until recently and it's pretty awesome. And there are other benefits/ease.
There's a huge benefit in having that part around because you can do plenty of shady stuff there that won't fly in any free countries.
No Turks are nice people, in a way nicer than locals, it can never turn violent. They are stuck in that political impasse a lot worse than us.
Anywhere like the UK. Ireland, or west coast Canada. I can't deal with hot sunny weather. Learning languages is hard.
Yes, it has come quite a ways in the last decade. Maybe you should take it for a spin
I love how fickle HN is. This is the etymological equivalent of saying "it's expresso, not espresso" (espresso -> expresso, lead -> lede both happened in the 50s) and yet claiming that would be highly controversial.
Same for windsurf, I’ve been using it to generate documentation for code bases. It will generate markdown with mermaid diagrams to explain whatever you want to know; from the component architecture of an entire application, to the sequence diagram for a specific button, and data and ER diagrams.

But the approach to fit your entire codebase into one document so you can include it in your prompt context seems a dead end, instead the llm can use an agent to do targeted search through your code.
linkedin is still the defacto way to quickly check if a candidate is being truthful about their employment history.

If they don't list the companies they claim to have worked at or have no connections to them its a red flag.
Ireland's not in the Schengen area btw.

Actually, you're still wrong about JavaScript edge functions. CF Workers slap.

My whole story was that other than a netbook running Ubuntu, now dead, all my Linux stuff at home, are custom stuff on the router and BlueRay player that at least run Linux kernel itself, Android and WebOS powered devices, and running containers on WSL/macOS.

Mandrake was great, by its usability and being compiled for Pentiums instead of 386 CPUs.

The move to SuSE was when their development quality started to go down, and eventually pivoted into some other distro.
In what sense are the bleeding edge models incremental improvements over GPT-3 (read his examples of GPT-3 output and imagine any of the top models today producing them!), GPT-3.5, or GPT-4? Look at any benchmark or use it yourself. It's night and day.

Gary Marcus didn't make a lot of specific criticisms or concrete predictions in his essay [0], but some of his criticisms of GPT-3 were:

- "For all its fluency, GPT-3 can neither integrate information from basic web searches nor reason about the most basic everyday phenomena."

- "Researchers at DeepMind and elsewhere have been trying desperately to patch the toxic language and misinformation problems, but have thus far come up dry."

- "Deep learning on its own continues to struggle even in domains as orderly as arithmetic."

Are these not all dramatically improved, no matter how you measure them, in the past three years?

But it's not a POSIX shell
I’ve made a CLI tool that does something similar, called Copcon:

https://github.com/kasperjunge/copcon

Point it at a code project directory to get a file tree and content, optionally with a git diff, copied to the clipboard - ready for copy pasting into ChatGPT.

It is very true that this only works for small projects, as you will bloat the LLM’s context with large codebases.

My solution to this is two files you can use to steer the tool’s behavior:

- .copconignore: For ignoring specific files and directories.

- .copcontarget: For targeting specific files and directories (applied before .copconignore).

These two files provide great control over what to include and exclude in the copied context.
Tokyo, if it had a decent population pyramid (and was maybe less colorist?)
Is that Singapore? Am I describing Singapore? Not sure.

A big, dense, eclectic city that is hyper-functional is my dream. Actually having one of those in America would be amazing. sighs in New York.
Sorry!

I love the AC franchise and have been playing it* since the beginning. I know it was because of the limited power of the platform that you couldn't have the usual crowds of bystanders etc. I'm sure it was a great game in general, it just felt like a bit of a ghost town :/

(* on and off, I took a break around 3/black flag after a bit of burnout)
That is certainly an interesting perspective!
I was at another team making a similar bet. Felt off to me at the time, but I assumed I just didn't understand the market.

I also think the call that people want LLMs is slightly off. More correct to say people want a black box that gives answers. LLMs have the advantage that nobody really knows anything about tuning them. So, it is largely a raw power race.

Taking it back to ML, folks would love a high level interface that "just worked." Dealing with the GPUs is not that, though.

Adding to that, they promise we will join Schengen in about a year. Hard to believe, but there is a strong political momentum pushing the country there (it's against interests of most locals so the system resists as much as it can, but there are stronger external factors pushing us in). If that happens - but i won't bet anything on that - we will be beyond doubt the best country to live in Europe, by far. Will probably lower coastal real estate prices a bit because a lot of it is bought to rent out to tourists from third countries that are now able to enter visa-free or with very simplified visa process, that will be cut off if we are in Schengen so demand from them will disappear.
Oh yes? What glee you appear to exhibit at the thought of 150 odd million people being thrown in to turmoil.

As if that’s going to be a good thing for Europe. Or anyone for that matter. Russia accounts for something like one third of global fertiliser production.

And, I mean, I can think of nothing better than a massive power vacuum in a state that has the most nuclear weapons in the world. Wile party, if you can get an invite. I suppose.

Imagine if, like, your opinion was wrong, or, let’s say, there turns out to be unintended consequences to the outcome you desire. Because there always is. The road to hell and all of that.

Then what?
I cannot find it, but someone joked on here the other day about people attempting this.
I’m an American living in Germany for the past 4 years. I moved here from the west coast after I sold my last startup because I wanted a new, different kind of adventure. I don’t see myself going back to the US any time soon, but I’m actively working on relocating to the UK.

My wife and I want to move there because we want to be somewhere more English speaking. I speak German well enough, but she’s really struggled. Truth is, it’s really difficult to integrate into a society if you don’t speak the language at a high level. And after around year 2.5 or 3 I really started thinking hard about integration.

The political situation in Germany is a bit of a struggle, but coming from the US…this is a cake walk. I’m so happy to not have to deal with American politics on the regular.

Economically speaking, there are obviously way more opportunities in the UK, especially for my wife who works in HR given the language requirement. In the tech ecosystem in Germany, it’s two-tiered: The really good engineers make a wage comparable to the US. Think like tier 2 or tier 3 cities like Dallas or Miami. I says it’s about 70% of the Bay Area. But the VAST majority of engineers, working for German companies, make way less. Average wage is probably €70k?

Obviously, your euro goes massively further here as compared to the UK and US. My point in all this is that it’s really difficult to actually compare apples to apples, what your quality of life will be based on your salary and cost of living alone in different parts of the world.
I’m happy in Canada but if, hypothetically, mutated polar bears were to force me out, I’d probably try the UK or Australia or NZ as places I’m sure I could adapt to.
what's your point exactly? what do you hope to achieve by "bringing it up" (I assume in your workplace)?

most programmers are not able to solve a problem like that in 20 lines of assembly or whatever, and no amount of education or awareness is going to change that. acting as if they can is just going to come across as arrogant.
I would move to Norway. Hands down. I would live northerly and/or westerly. The place is beautiful; the people are pragmatic, awesome, and kind. I love the norsk language, Nordnorsk dialekten spesielt.

Unfortunately my parents, siblings, kids (and now grandkids) live stateside so I’m stuck staying here, because as much as I might value a place or a people, family connections are first for me. More so as I age.

(Disclosure, I did live in various places around Norway 1990-1991).
I very much doubt that, and folks keep forgetting RISC-V license is like MIT, in such scenario Amazon would keep everything for themselves anyway, Achilles victory.

There is truth in this.

Without involving the human planners, the project won't succeed. We're empowering them, with PlanningAI assistance, so they can focus on what they planning must do, for who, instead of how it gets there. So when the plan goes off the rails - 5 people call in sick - they can get it back on the rails in seconds with Real-Time Planning.

The engineering work is only half the work, or less. Fitting the technology into the human processes is another big chunk. Half of my videos on youtube deal with such cases: Continuous Planning, Real-Time Planning, Non-distruptive Replanning, Pinning, ... Not code, not technology, but design patterns.

And even then, this is far from 100% of the solution. Technology and education is still not enough.

That human planner with 30 years of business knowledge in his/her head is still a critical: he/she will always need to tweak, oversee and sometimes overrule the planning solution in production.
I often think about people's love for dogs.

All a dog needs to do is look at you and show attachment/love. Nothing more. And they get loved back.

No need to be pretty smart, funny, or whatever else we assume we need to do to be loved. Just be there and show love first.
I would say yes for myself but as software developer I am baffled by business people to whom I have to basically explain this.

Some things are complex and will take months or years to complete - but if it doesn’t fit in a quarter where they can put it as a win on their list they feel offended.
You could have done that without replying, and in my experience the folks who feel the need to announce their departure from a conversation are the ones who tend to be the trolls…

Doubly so when the topic is race and the position is that race is biological (you’re not even the first, sadly).
In my twenties moved from Russia to Australia, then lived in the US for a couple of years to see how it is. Came back to Australia just before US elections and I'm very happy with my decision to live here.

It has its own problems but for me it feels to be a much nicer place to live peacefully, raise kids and enjoy life
Best overall is just a start. Typically I have more specific needs, depending who is joining, what I had this week already.
Now that you have the data, you could ask an LLM to rate each restaurant (from comments and website and menu) to find a specific recommendation:

I need a place for business lunch for 2, should be a quiet place, not pizza.

Recommend a good place for a dinner for five, should have vegetarian option. No burgers, we had that last time. We plan on sitting and chatting longer, not just food.
I already did:
When I was computer science apprentice in Switzerland in the late 00s, my mate introduced me to Thai culture, as he was half Thai. I planned to be different from all the passport bros and weirdos and made a plan: Finishing my 4 year apprenticeship, working in the industry and get enough money, learn the language spoken and written, the culture, as well as going on a few trips to Thailand with my mates Thai family. Early 2016 my time came: Fluent in Thai, already familiar with BKK and my ability to transform between western and Thai culture smoothly, I landed a job at a Digital Marketing Agency in Bangkok that caters only to the local market. No Expats in the office - my dream came true.

I learned a lot, not just about other cultures, other ways of thinking, but most about myself. I met my now wife, I made great colleagues and friends for life along the way, I had my downs. It was an exciting time with a lot of growth. The agency expanded from initially 15 people to 130, and then into Vietnam and Indonesia as well. Even during Covid we kept operating - though on a slight salary cut.

Fast forward to 2023, I became more and more bored, asked myself if that is it, and most importantly I turned 36 and started to get worried about my wife's and my future, especially retirement. You know, Switzerland has a solid retirement system, social welfare etc. And all of this I gave up, because living abroad means you don't get those... So I convinced my wife to relocate to Switzerland - something she never intended to do. She has to learn a new miniroty language - German - a new culture, a different climate. And most importantly: Her decent office job in Bangkok is something she will have great difficulty to find in Switzerland.

We moved in 2023 and it hasn't been easy, especially for her. But we're happy to live in a safe country with great social welfare, low taxes, high income etc.

So far we had the chance to stay in Thailand every winter and work remotely. So it's kind of the best of both worlds and my employer is great, they allow this type of lifestyle.

What I learned about all this: Your dreams and your goals become irrelevant once you achieved them, either you constantly chase new ones, or you start being happy. And your favorite country always looks great as a tourist or short term visitor, I can really recommend to first try living there temporarily, be it on long holidays or whatever. And most importantly: Don't stay in the expat bubble, learn the language fluently if you plan to stay there. It's a sign of respect and one step towards integrating into society, you don't want to be the outsider forever.
Oh yes true you are right. They aren't even seen as "European" much from the continental perspective and are usually out of visibility from the local economic as well as cultural standpoint. Ireland as we see it from here is "a place where American corporations evade taxes and because of insane amounts of money they bring in, they pretty much rule there", correct me if i'm wrong. It has a lot more connectivity - cultural, economic, and travel-wise - with USA and UK than with EU it is a part of.
Compare-and-swap and LR/SC are not per se "obstruction-free" or "lock-free".

They are the primitives with which you can implement shared data structures that are "lock-free" or "obstruction-free".

Anything that can be implemented with compare-and-swap can be implemented with LL/SC, and vice-versa.

The only difference between compare-and-swap and LL/SC is how they detect that the memory word has not been modified since the previous reading.

Compare-and-swap just compares the current value with the old value, while LL/SC uses a monitoring circuit implemented in the cache memory controller, which records if any store has happened to that memory location.

Therefore LL/SC is free of the ABA problem, while the existence of the ABA problem has been recognized already since the first moment when compare-and-swap has been invented.

Compare-and-swap has been invented by IBM, who has introduced this instruction in IBM System/370, in 1973. Simultaneously with compare-and-swap, IBM has introduced the instruction compare-double-and-swap, for solving the ABA problem by using a version counter.

Intel has added compare-and-swap renamed as CMPXCHG to 80486 in 1989, and compare-double-and-swap, renamed as CMPXCHG8B, to Pentium in 1993. On x86-64, CMPXCHG8B, i.e. compare-double-and-swap, has become CMPXCHG16B.

LL/SC has been invented in 1987, in the S-1 Advanced Architecture Processor, at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Then it has been added in 1989 to MIPS II, from where it has spread several years later to most RISC ISAs.

Using either compare-double-and-swap or LL/SC is equivalent, because both are free of the ABA problem.

However there are many cases when the optimistic access to shared data structures that can be implemented with compare-and-swap or LL/SC results in lower performance than access based on mutual exclusion or on dynamic partitioning of the shared data structure (both being implemented with atomic instructions, like atomic exchange or atomic fetch-and-add).

This is why the 64-bit ARM ISA, Aarch64, had to correct their initial mistake of providing only LL/SC, by adding a set of atomic instructions, including atomic exchange and atomic fetch-and-add, in the first revision of the ISA, Armv8.1-A.
there's a uk base which guarantees some degree of security, and cyprus is a europen country. i don't think turkey has attacking europe on its priority list. they are often aggressive though, with their navy not allowing cyprus to drill in their own waters for instance
