Half the ancestor comments have been flagged out of existence, so I have no way of reminding myself of what was said, but my memory was that you said something which pretty much no gay person needs to be hearing. There's not some sort of accounting where you go to a gay event and then you get to make X number of shitty comments about gay people online. This is basically the "I have a black friend so I can't be rascist" thing.

Your feelings may be acceptable, but it's not necessarily acceptable to share every acceptable feeling you have with everyone. There are plenty of people I meet on a day to day basis that I'm not attracted to, of many genders and sexualities, and that's fine. But I've never once felt it necessary to tell one of those people that I'm not attracted to them, and doing so would be pretty rude and inconsiderate. If my memory of the flagged comments is correct, that's basically what you did. Sure, your feelings are fine, you don't really control those. But did you have to share them on the internet where they might hurt people who read them?

I don't want to blow this out of proportion. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't that bad and I don't think you need to be like ostracized from society or barred from holding positions of power or something. People make mistakes and this isn't a big one. But I do think it is a mistake.

Great work! Please consider a plugin mode to support integrating with Dropbox, S3 compatible targets, where users might be storing large amounts of data off device (but still device accessible), as well as email providers via IMAP/JMAP.
OK, good to know. It's been a couple of years since the last time I made a serious effort. I may give it another try.

Who's your host, just in case that's the difference?
I’m reading this news with a glimmer of hope.

A ceasefire of just 30 days seems like a good starting point, does not require any major concessions from either side and puts the ball in Russia’s court.

Given the US backing of this proposal, if Russia declines, it sends a pretty clear message about the “reasonableness” of their position (which obviously hasn’t ever been anything close to “reasonable”) and I think makes it that much harder for the Donald to side with them (though who can really predict what he’ll do).

If they agree, then hopefully this gives Ukraine just a bit of respite and starts a change of trajectory of this war. It also seems to be a small enough step to help Ukraine and the US realign - as far as that is possible - without looking like a major walk-back of the US position or looking like Ukraine has been strong-armed into something they didn’t really want to agree to (aka minerals deal without guarantees - though that may come next).

Still so many challenges ahead but I really hope this ceasefire happens.
I have no idea about the details of their test cases. If they had used an even faster language like Cobol or Fortran maybe they could have gotten it 1,000,000x faster.

What I do know is that some people complain about long compile times in their code that can last up to 10 minutes. I had a personal application that was greater than 60k lines of code and the tsc compiler would compile it in about 13 seconds on my super old computer. SWC would compile it in about 2.5 seconds. This tells me the far greater opportunity for performance improvement is not in modifying the compiler but in modifying the application instance.
Same boat, @6 year old Dell Precision 5540 here and am looking to upgrade.

Dell's latest offerings aren't particulaly inspiring, especially wrt pricing (absurdly expensive for what you get). Seems that PC laptop manufacturers have taken a page out of Apple's playbook and charge through the nose for memory and SSD upgrades.

To put in context, I paid $1,100 USD for this machine in October, 2019, and around another $200 for 2 X 512GB SSD and 32 GB RAM. So, $1,300 all-in. These days you're looking at least double the price.

And if you're going to blow $3K on a laptop, might as well go with a MBP; at least there you're getting high end hardware. Giving up Linux after 15 years is a bitter pill, hopefully Asahi Linux will come out with M3/M4 support in the next year -- in the meantime I'll migrate my current machine to a Fedora VM on the Mac.

Sci-hub. Edward Snowden.
great! I hope you enjoy it. That's exactly the issue - you shouldn't need to be an expert.
> It’s not “arbitrary.” It’s raising rents for the same reason rents are ever raised: people’s willingness/ability to pay has gone up.

The only landlords who can afford to operate this way own many, many units. A long term tenant who pays in a predictable manner and isn't actively damaging property is worth their weight in gold, and you can't afford to roll the dice on the next tenant unless you're able to spread the risk and cost of the churn around.

Presumably anyone who is familiar with her overall body of work and the concept of an outlier.

Pollsters are increasingly herding. Perhaps after this election all unexpected results will be suppressed or adjusted, which seems to be what you're advocating for.
FYI this hasn’t been the case with C# for a very long time now.
Many times they actually have restrictions / rules for recruiters that they can't re-contact or re-ingest prior applicants even if its for a role in a different department (like eng -> product).

I'd say if they ghost you and they aren't a massive company they probably aren't professional enough to really pursue further and likely would just be a bad place to work in general.

I honestly take more offense to rejection letters that claim "we'd love to stay in touch!" or something with similar ingenue bubbly language.
Why not? There's like 483 different application frameworks for the JVM too. The more choices the better - it lets ideas cross-pollinate, and the best ideas get borrowed/stolen. Some people like different syntax, bindings, etc.

I find the opposite more troubling, actually. Take the C# ecosystem and see how there's one de-facto application framework (.NET), one logging lib, one etc... It's usually Microsoft's way or the highway, and 3rd party libraries and frameworks struggle to get any adoption. Consequently, that ecosystem is much smaller, less diverse, and less innovative.
Agreed! Metrics are a high priority, especially since working to increase the available context around each anomaly we flag.

Logs were a natural starting point because that’s where developers often spend a significant amount of time stuck reading & searching for the right information, manually tracking down issues + jumping between logs across services. In a way, just finding & summarizing relevant logs for the user gave people an easier time debugging.

But metrics will introduce more dimensions to establish baseline behavior, so we're pretty excited about it too.
I've also observed this issue and I wonder where the industry is on it. There seem to be a lot of claims that a given approach will work here, but not a lot of provably working use cases.
Are you sure the underlying application and the OS are even rendering 120Hz all the time? The panel being able to was enough to convince some people they're seeing "smooth scrolling" when it was actually 60Hz saving battery. That's the analogy to audiophiles.

What do you mean by well-connected topology?
If you mean that you can reach every neuron from any neuron then the number of connections you need is asymptotically n log n / 2 (not up to a constant factor or anything, just n log n / 2 on the nose, it's a sharp threshold), see [0].
In general when percolation is done on just n nodes without extra structure, it's called the Erdős–Rényi model [0], and most mathematicians even just call this "the" random graph model.

"No-one would claim that a modern Harvard Architecture computer with its program stored in ROM isn’t a stored-program computer. So does ENIAC take the prize from Baby as the first electronic stored-program computer?"

I do actually claim that a modern Harvard Architecture computers such as the AVR8 or PIC microcontrollers are not stored-program computers. You can't store a program in them and then execute it. To be fair, some MCUs can change their own Flash so the difference can be subtle - in that case the processor is used either normally or as part of the ISP (in-system programming) circuit at different times.

For very simple stored-program machines the ability to modify running code is needed for it to be Turing complete. In a computer like the Baby, how would you add two arrays? It had no index registers. So you would need to increment the instructions that load and store from the arrays every time you go through the loop. I agree that this isn't an issue on a machine with only 32 words of memory in all, but it is a key idea in theory.

Of course, a Harvard computer can simulate a Von Neumann one (see AVR8 simulating an ARM in order to boot Linux where it does indeed store programs and then run them). In fact, a popular way to implement CISC computers was to build a tiny Harvard machine running a single program in its "microcode ROM" emulating the computer you actually wanted to use.
The code blocks’ font size varies line by line on mobile. Hint: set it to be smaller than the body text size because monospace fonts tend to be a bit larger than proportional ones.
Good question. I have been in the same boat.

In my current role they have a system so we just base it off that. There are goals and level (i.e. job titles) rubrics.

You could ask if aligned goals could be set and then discuss how they are going.

Goals should be able to change in an agile org.

They should align to the company but also align to your growth and outcomes that can be used to promote you or get you a bonus.

If the companies doesn't have this set up it might be worth asking for it for you as a "snowflake".

Believe me (bitter experience!) if you look for another job having impact stories (this will generate) will help you get hired at a higher level.

Goals and accomplishments isn't all the 1-1 is. I see another comment about gitlab which seems worh a read!
We did discuss this at some point but didn't end up trying it out. I think it's quite an interesting avenue and worth a shot, my intuition also says that the spatial capabilities will improve if the model has more access to relative info and doesn't need to infer it from absolute coordinates
Thank you! I'm also excited at the possibilities and today you can share "long links" (with all the data embedded in the URL's fragment) but in the future short links with storage on the server or loading from a gist for example would be another cool feature. And having a variety of interesting examples ready to go like you mention would be nice too. There's almost too much there that I was worried I would never ship and would still be playing with examples.

OpenManus open-source framework for building general AI agents
It's common (see: S3, private GitHub repos) to return 404 instead of unauthorized to avoid even leaking existence of a resource at URL.
In this respect, Kay's methods seem to be merging with those of Chuck Moore: the difference lies in that Moore doesn't seem to perceive software as a "different thing" from hardware - the Forth systems he makes always center on extension from the hardware directly into the application, with no generalization to an operating system in between.
"Just decided" =/= decided today. They decided months if not years ago, after months of negotiations with local authorities. Don't look at plants opening now to judge the current administration. Look at it 2 years from now.
It's interesting to think that we didn't use to have those peel-away inner caps on all sorts of products.
That was a fear the first time automation came around. (I have a vague memory of machines used for weaving textiles.) Turns out people bought more cheap clothes, and thus people were needed to run the machines.

I would assume that automating menial jobs in one place will create menial jobs in another place. I would also push for strengthening social security so we can lower the retirement age. If there really are less menial jobs to go around, it's easier to shrink the workforce if everyone can retire at 55 instead of 65.
Would it be possible to leverage the python array api standard? Or is that more suited for just computations?
Yes, and I think this is the core motivation behind the Trump messaging - bring it back to the US if possible. In fact, he wants to bring back commercial and maritime ship building back[1]. Pretty cool! Hopefully this will employ lots of people.

Dale speaks normally.
This isn't my field but I always feel it's disingenuous to show PCR results without telling me how many cycles of PCR you did. PCR is effectively a magnifying glass and you're obscuring the level of magnification you used to get a detection. It doesn't seem, on it's own, to ever be a useful piece of information.
All rents are set by the market's willingness and ability to pay.

No matter whether you're the 40th percentile (a vacancy-sensitive landlord) on price or the 90th (a vacancy-insensitive landlord), the dollar value of the underlying distribution is defined by the market's willingness and ability to pay. If that goes up, the entire distribution moves to the right.
You say that like it's a bad thing.

Grocery stores have operated like that since the 1950's. They have higher prices in-store, but if you can't afford those then you clip coupons to save, yes, often 40% or more.

And CVS and other stores already print coupons attached to my receipt that are customized just for me.

Why wouldn't McDonald's do the same thing with coupons/offers in their app?

It's just: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination

That is great, assuming you have that extra $5 to spare for a meal you are already paying extra for over cooking it yourself.
We handle over 1M requests per month using the Assistant API on https://rispose.com which apparently will get depreciated mid 2026. Should we move to the new API?
Languages are languages, so having lots of people to communicate with using them is pretty important. Most people don't want to learn Latin.
One of the issues here (pointed by the authors) is supply chain attack.

In any case either it is gross incompetence or deliberate malice.
This seems pedantic. As a TypeScript user who is aware of the conversations about build performance, the title is not ambiguous at all. I know exactly they are talking about build time.

fwiw, tesla, the biggest "no physical buttons" company, does not have this problem at all. it's always very responsive, window buttons always work, there's no "startup" delay at all.

so i guess the choice is between companies that do tech poorly (legacy automakers) and one that does it right but with a big touch screen.
Even a Dragon could bring enough hardware and a crew for a small upgrade or repair (to say nothing of the upcoming Starship).

I think you would have had significantly less blowback if you approached the subject from a positive angle. I know you were probably attempting to be humorous, but it just comes off as something wrong.

That sort of humor is best left for the experts...
Come on, they won't raise prices if you have more money.

Actually, you can build any composable, headless frontend app with O2S.

The framework is universal and is designed to be API-agnostic. It provides the frontend layer and a backend-for-frontend / integration server which lets you aggregate, orchestrate and normalize data from any API without tightly coupling the backend to the UI.

Although it's that flexible, our focus is on customer support applications:
- Customer portals for managing orders, invoices, and support cases.

- After-sales service portals for handling product warranties, repairs, and complaints.

- Complex Knowledge bases allowing users to quickly find information on any product or related to issues they face.

- Service management apps integrating CRMs, ERPs or even IoT data for more proactive support.

In future releases we plan to deliver more pages/features covering some of the above and also provide more integrations useful for customer support (search, crm).

Hope this helps and you find O2S useful for your case.
It was ambiguous to me. When someone says making a language X-times faster, it's natural to think about runtime performance, not compile times. I know TS runs on JS runtimes, but I assumed, based on the title, they created/modified a JS runtime to natively run TS fast.
This is interesting, one of our findings was that the Claude was capable of essential tasks & simple automation (i.e iron gear wheel factory in lab-play) but didn't even try to do it during the "build the biggest factory" game episodes. So the models can do these essential tasks but when given a general goal, i.e "complete the game", they don't have a good level of long-term planning to even try to attempt them. Often they just did un-coordinated small-scale constructs without attempting to scale up existing factories

That was also one of our goals, to find out how do the models act when given a very vague and general objective
"negate the need for vaccines" i guess we should start to buy only imported powdered milk as US milk won't be safe for human consumption anymore. what is wrong with these people, go be corrupt and steal government money but leave this shit alone.
90% of the time I prefer the first. I am allergic to indentation and I hate anything remotely like:

function foo(a) {
if (a) {
return doThing()
} else {
return Error();
}
}

I like all of my assertion and predicate guards nicely at the top of a function:

function foo(a) {
if (!a) {
return Error()
}

return doThing()
}

And for that reason, I would probably go for getOddness4 even though I see your point.
> Why are "we" responsible for occupational health and safety in India?

Because we reap the rewards of it?

> "So cut off the supply of ships," you say

Yes, I do.

> the attitude exists even in industries where "we" couldn't possibly change the working conditions (e.g. textile manufacturing) without engaging in what I'm sure you would call neo-imperialism.

Imperialism is not as simple as "when you make people elsewhere do a thing." And more to the point, no activist on earth would state that it's Imperialist to say "your workers need PPE." There is no cultural stance on keeping your goddamn fingers. Poor as shit workforces scrapping ships are not forgoing protective gear because they simply enjoy the thrill of making sure their toes don't get hit by falling slag. They're people for Christ-sakes, just like you, trying to earn a living, and they can't afford to quit that job, nor can they afford a pair of boots to do it more safely, and no established organization is in their country making sure they do. Just like we did before we had things like OSHA and child labor laws made cheap business bastards do the right thing here, they deserve the same.

And while we can't make them form an OSHA, what we can do is tell our own corporations they are not permitted to dump ships on foreign soil where people working incredibly unsafely for slave wages will take them apart. That, we very much can and should do.
TS v5.8 added the --erasableSyntaxOnly option, along with Node.js 23.6 so you can run your TS in Node, which will error on enums (as well as namespaces and other syntax). I haven't found anything that mentions the deprecation of enums when searching, TS v6 is supposed to be as feature compatible with v7 as possible, and since enums are not a type-level feature of JS I wouldn't rely on them.

Right now you can make use of the --erasableSyntaxOnly to find any enums in your code, and start porting over to an alternative. This article lists alternatives if you're interested.

Forecasts will always have some level of uncertainty and if a race is very close a prediction around 50/50 will be the most honest result. A prediction like that does have value, just like a prediction that candidate A is a large favorite, it's informing you about the future state of the world.

I'm not sure what you're expecting forecasters to do when they have a 50/50 result. Put a thumb on the scale in a random direction so that you will think they are providing useful information, even though they'll be less accurate?
I understand your objections, but I don't think I have to explain that anything directly touching wireless is already walking the edge of the regulatory abyss. But yeah, some vendors make it easier, others seem to just want developers to suffer.
That looks like a lot of work.
New book idea: Does God play billiards?
Their first key insight is interesting. It says that coding ability predicts model performance in the game. I wonder if it also predicts performance of human players in some way?
In Golang, wow. That gives me more confidence to adopt Go in projects.
Yeah, I'd love it if mpl could be optimized. I do think that it has a lot of weird design decisions that could justify burning it down and starting from scratch (e.g. weird mix of stateful and stateless api), but I've already learned most of its common quirks so I selfishly don't care anymore, and my only significant complaint is that I want it to be faster :)

edit: regarding runtime, I'm sure this varies a lot based on usecase, but for my usual usecase I store a mostly-processed dataset, so the additional processing before drawing the data is usually minimal.
More readable? How about this:

SELECT DISTINCT authors FROM books WHERE page_count > 1000;
"The United States’ alliances are an incredible power resource, and its actions should not undermine them."

Well, too late. The article repeatedly makes the point that any blockade strategy requires allies on board in order to be effective. What allies? The US is now an enemy to its former allies.

But let's say the blockage/decoupling works and China's GDP is crushed by 40%. Then what? Do you think China will be like: "good one USA, guess you win this one?". Let's not forget that China is the #1 trading partner for an estimated 120-140 countries. And this doesn't even account for a possible pivot to China from Europe.

The idea that you can marginalize and decimate China economically in any lasting way with no existential side effects is ludicrous.
