Well... that woman is de facto the best. One of the great secrets to life is that happiness is found primarily through changing your mindset, not through changing your circumstances. It's easy to say and hard to do, of course. But it is true. You'll be a lot happier if you can focus on the good qualities of whatever woman you find in your life, than if you look at her in terms of "she's just the best that I could do".
SEEKING WORK | Remote | Prague, Czech Republic | Robotics Software Developer

I'm a robotics software developer with experience leading teams and integrating software on various platforms (custom industrial robots in smelters, UAVs, rovers, USVs). Have experience on robotics full-stack from low-level interfaces of actuators, sensors etc. to deploying navigation and behaviour trees. Mostly experienced with ROS, but did a fair bit of work working with Px4 autopilot. My super power is putting things together and diagnosing difficult issues.

I'm sorry, but I feel like you're reading my message extremely uncharitably. I'm obviously onboard with the idea that nothing lasts forever, and time spent figuring out how to increase something's lifespan to "at least X years" is obviously valuable, as is time spent figuring out how to cut costs without making a product break "before X years". But none of that is the same as spending time to figure out how to ensure that something breaks at the right time.

It matters whether the focus is on reducing costs while keeping track of the impact on the product's lifetime, or the focus is on reducing the product's lifetime. What I'm calling a waste of talent and human life is spending time on the latter, and that's what it sounds like my parent comment describes their engineer friend doing.
There might be some work at https://k2vr.tech regarding this it seems like.

Suno's RVQ-token-based language model is tuned give you an acceptable song that most of their userbase would prefer every single time, but isn't very diverse. Our diffusion model is much more diverse and has higher vocal audio quality, but the results aren't always consistent (just like Flux et al). However, since we have unlimited generations this can be worked around. We're also never going to preference tune our model because I think the stuff that is lost in that process is valuable.
Here is the thing - the last times were always true. It's just that during youth it doesn't feel that way. Life seems endless. It never was.

People who have children to fill a “void” end up disappointed. They grow up, they move away, they either resent how little they had or how much they had given to them and what it has done or not done for their fledging careers.

I have three. No regrets, but I didn’t do it to give my life meaning. They are their own people and I am responsible for giving my life meaning, no one else.

At some point, you are back with yourself and own thoughts. This is neither good nor bad. It simply is.

It's because the moonlight is comparatively dim. Even when your eyes have fully adjusted there is a threshold below which you just can't pick up the light. The scattered moonlight is below your detection threshold so the shadows appear completely black. Your color cones are also less sensitive than the black and white rods, so colors are muted or even missing and you are left with a landscape of stark greys just like the moon.
Because its continued existence has been in grave doubt for years?

I was a heavy Flickr user, but when Yahoo sold it to SmugMug in 2018, I basically assumed it was going to be either merged out of distinct existence or shuttered. I downloaded an archive of all my stuff and stopped using it altogether. Because what’s the point of using a platform that’s so obviously no longer viable…was my thinking at the time. I would never have guessed it would remain alive this long but it’s still not anything I would want to invest time in or rely on anymore.
Blender comes with two renderers: Cycles for production rendering, and Eevee for near-real time preview.

This movie was rendered with the latter.

Like any 3D package, you can also install other renderers.

So any perceived deficit in picture quality here is more to do with budget than some limitation of Blender.

To me the most upsetting part is how half the country sees things in the exact opposite way. Many see the institutions as already captured by an authoritarian party, and think Trump’s heavy handed ruling is stomping out the corruption.

How does one even engage with the other side when two realities are so polar opposite?

Even if Trump’s depiction of some deep state were true, why is replacing our institutions with less democratic ones the correct answer? It’s as if half the country has given up on democracy and has decided a more authoritarian rule will solve the US’ problems. History teaches us over and over again that this does not end well, even when it feels like the most appealing approach.

I don’t know what to do. I never thought I’d feel terrified living in my own country.

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

I look forward to talking with you!

Thank you for introducing me to a new niche subreddit.
Well on dynamic languages the ICs do give a nice order of magnitude speed-up by themselves, since the guard eliminates a whole hashtable (or linear) lookup instead of (in this case) a single memory indirection.

But yeah - on spidermonkey we found that orienting our ICs towards being stable and easy to work with, as opposed to just being fast, ended up leading to a much better design.

This is a nice result though. Negative, but good that they published it.

What would be a good next step is some QEMU-style transformation, pull out basic blocks, profile them for both hotness, and incoming arguments at function starts, and dynamic dispatch targets.. then use that to re-compile the whole thing using method-jit and in particular inlining across call-paths with GVN and DCE applied.

I kind of expect the results to be very positive, just based on intuition.. but it'd be cool to see how it actually turned out.

I’ve worked with Soundex, which uses a rather different set of digit/consonant associations, but the “major system” Susam uses was new to me.

I have 8+ years of experience. Mostly backend-focused full-stack engineer. I especially enjoy working on efficient, reliable, high-scale systems that have a beneficial, tangible impact.

I’ve taken about a year to explore different business ideas, but I’m very interested in getting back to a more normal job. I did get more experience with native iOS Swift+SwiftUI development and experience using LLMs in a production environment, resulting in a really polished app that I use every day. Even though I am backend focused, I can contribute to all parts of the stack.

I'm open to relocating. SoCal would be great, but I'm open to just about anywhere for the right job.
I can think of multiple “corner stores” that are the only business within a single-family home residential area within a few minutes drive of the house I grew up in in suburban NY. I’m pretty sure they all got grandfathered in and would not be permitted as new construction with the zoning, but they’ve all been in business since before I was born and are still going. These are mostly neighborhoods without sidewalks, and the stores have parking for only a handful of cars.

You’re right that “most” houses can’t be within walking distance of a corner store outside cities, but my anecdata experience is those residential communities can definitely support those businesses. They might require a short drive, but they’re still a lot closer than the shopping center, and a mix of “ran out of one thing”, deli/breakfast sandwiches, and beer keeps them in business.
An amazing example of Rust's abilities. More impressed by the relentless iterative approach taken by the author. Nicely done.
YIMBY orgs are almost entirely bankrolled by tech interests. It's absolutely in their interest to portray any opposition to any development as indistinguishable from the affluent people who don't want to improve anything (aka nimbys).

Interesting is a very kind word to use there
Yes, but what people should do rarely matches what they actually do and deleting old messages just makes it impossible to recover that info.

I find that this take is much more common among managers and executives who are used to being spoon-fed documentation than among the engineers who actually have to write and hunt for it.
The data is initially not at all structured, and the critics talk about a chef's CV in passing. For instance, take this example:

> At Grenat, Antoine Joannier and Neil Mahatsry are bathed in an ardent red glow, much like the pomegranate-toned walls of their space. After working together at La Brasserie Communale, where they first met, the duo is now firing on all cylinders in the heart of Marseille, where Antoine tends to guests seated around blonde wood tables, delivering dishes ignited by Neil behind the bar. From oysters to prime cuts of red meat, […]

I tried using NER models and the results were not great. Furthermore, these models do not extract relationships between entities (other models exist for that though). Haven't tried fine-tuning at all!

There is also a lot of variation in the ways of presenting a chef's prior restaurants, which makes this a good use-case for LLMs.
That may be unlikely. Mark Gurman reported recently for Bloomberg News that “people within Apple’s AI division now believe that a true modernized, conversational version of Siri won’t reach consumers until iOS 20 at best in 2027.”
That was more true before AI. In this day and age of AI, developing a business is easier than ever thanks to AI assistance at almost every step.

Are Mac laptops still glued together? My 2013 MBP needed a new battery, which required replacing the following as one unit: battery, keyboard, top case, trackpad. The reason is that it was all one blob. (And then the charging circuit on the motherboard died, and I moved on to ThinkPads I can upgrade and deal with myself.)
Seems like simple enough utilitarian ethics: good comes of increasing the supply of donor blood, not worrying about the motivation of the donors.

While I do believe more people should donate and it's a trivial thing one can do to save lives, I also arguably have a selfish reason to do it: blood draws keep my iron levels stable, because my body doesn't otherwise process and eliminate it at the rate it should.
Both are needed. You can appreciate the energy you have by being around older people. You can be inspired in energetic ways by being around younger people.

You can think of it as "just how I'm wired" if that helps, but these things are tendencies not absolutes. I've been similarly harsh with myself in the past and now I do that less frequently with lower harshness even though I know it's a natural tendency.

It is possible to lessen the effect of these things if you put effort into it.
It could also just mean they do more research and less education. But hey, let's quickly jump to conclusions, that seems to be a popular hobby nowadays.

> Why didn't it become the default way to generate power?

It's because unlike nuclear technology, drilling technology has advanced massively. It was spurred on by natural gas fracking, trying to get very hard to recover fossil fuels as the easy stuff ran out.

So there's an entire industry around this new technology that already exists but which has not yet been applied to geothermal. And for a long time there was little no no growth in electricity demand, which greatly suppresses the demand for new generation technology; basically everybody was competing to replace the natural gas, coal, and nuclear generation plants that were reaching their end of life.

Now, the hype of AI has made for a great excuse to build a bunch of new technology, which brings a flood of new investment money, political will at Pubic Utility Commissions, and end-users looking to sign PPAs to secure electricity which helps raise that money for new builds.

If you go based purely on when the technology was developed, sure, deep drilling is more difficult than nuclear fission, and in turn uses tons of new technologies at its base.

And until this new drilling technology was developed, fission was cheaper, but it won't be cheaper for long. Drilling is a technology with a learning curve which means that costs fall as we do more of it. Nuclear has not had a significant learning curve, and in fact in many cases it has gotten more expensive as construction labor gets more expensive over time.
Zoning is in the history sweet spot: Recent enough that we have well-preserved records of its origins and use. But old enough that we have had time to study the effects in practice, regardless of original intent. Widespread enough that we can know any effects were not hidden variables from local geography or politics. But not universal, so we can compare the effects over time with and without it.

That's all to say that it is well understood by people who study zoning in the US, of which there are plenty, that american racial dynamics are central in the history and use of zoning. It was not always used intentionally for segregation, but it was used for that very frequently over a long enough period of time that you can't consider it incidental to the practice.

If you look to the early 20th century you can read the discussions people were having at the time about it: letters, and op-eds, and sometimes the ordinances themselves explicitly discuss the racial justifications. At the time racial segregation was well within the national overton window, they did not have a reason to hide to hide this motivation and so they did not. Later on it gets more complicated.

From grocery shopping trips, food inspection, food preparation & safety, sewing, how to inspect clothing for quality, basic home maintenance... like, so much stuff that has been more impactful in my life than any other thing. I'm sad to think that my teacher is probably no longer alive after all these years. She also encouraged the hell out of me to play the guitar, which I still do. Cheers to you, Marlene.

You know there's often a big difference between a stated reason and the real reason, right? I was a voting adult during that period. The tea party movement was animated because Obama is African American.
