A nice write up.

But our AI overlords will need metrics that they can use.
This should read, "so raster displays made them [vector displays] obsolete." Those responsible for the error have been sacked.
You generally cannot open a bank account without address. It is trivial for criminals to do with darks. Last time I was between addresses no one would open me an account even with a US passport as it failed kyc with no address.

KYC does fuck all to curb crime and mainly used as a tax dragnet and control mechanism for the mostly honest.
It is not just for old people, homeless people, etc. I do not have a credit card or a smartphone and I always pay in cash.
If you care to read the comments for the mentioned article (318 comments) including mine, perhaps you'll get the different perspectives on eating pork [1].

Although the article is a good one but the conclusions can be misleading because it's biased toward archeological evidences that most probably did not tell the entire story.

Just like the history of people migration you simply cannot rely on one aspect of archeological evidences alone by ignoring genetic and proto-languages, for examples.

The same with dietary constraints and prohibitions you need to take into account other evidences for example religions together with the other archeological evidences.

Although the article mentioned religions early on but it kind of dismissed them at the end. For me it's rather myopic view and incomplete methodology of doing research since you need to take every relevant aspects into account for your valid conclusions especially the other important factors in dietary constraints in this case the religious prohibitions.

The climate didn't change in the time from Otis forming to landing.

Weather models look at current conditions and extrapolate what the next set of conditions will be.

Another way to look at it is that climate change models reflect what we will experience. Weather models reflect the mechanics of humidity, temperature and air flow- given a current state, what is the next likely state. Climate change doesn't change how those mechanics interact. It only guesses what "current state" will look like in the far future.

Are there still records of this somewhere? Can't find anything on Google. I don't remember this as I didn't exist but it sounds interesting to read about.
you could. that’s the beauty of America.

Or you could raise the capital by pitching investors that have money because you actually have a good idea.

or you don’t have a good idea. you don’t have any money. and you want to complain.

what are you asking for? that your parents were more rich? that everyone has the exact same amount of money?

what are you striving for in this comment? are you pointing out that life is unfair? i do agree with that.
They both have an offset, but ring buffers aren’t contiguous so they also need a branch or modulus to handle wrap around. Either can be cheap, but clearly that is strictly more costly than not having the extra operation (even if very little). Only matters for random indexing also, since for mutation the situation is swapped
the only escape from the Black Pill of AI ruining society is we hit some hard limits and technology stops progressing at such a rapid rate, tapers, and gives humanity a bit of time to adapt culturally.
Well it's more like a dynamically defined sum type, no?

There's also the scaffolding around it, like the way error codes compare for equivalence[1] against error conditions in a symmetric way[2].

The result is you can easily add new a domain-specific error category, and error codes using your new category can be fed to existing code and they'll do something sensible without further modification. Your code with the new category could even be loaded at runtime[3].

Not something you can do with plain sum types, ie tagged unions in C. At least as far as I know, though I'm no expert.

Agree in 1st and 2nd “meanwhile”. On the metrics thing though I have the opposite experience - mild distraction at best, total disaster and productivity killer at worst. Most orgs couldn’t even implement metrics fully (or at all) because in reality it is always much more work than they usually anticipate. Instead they larp as google and waste your god damn time.

Having said that i do think that there are a bunch of senior folks who think they are Tim but meanwhile they’re just hiding their laziness/incompetence by getting involved in other people’s shit
hi mspehton - thank you so much for logging in and giving it a shot.

1) I haven't tackled this use-case yet - added it to my roadmap. I'll give it a shot tonight itself and hopefully have some working code soon!
2) I'll look into the mobile-view CSS. I made some changes recently and I can see that this has messed up the KPIs and filters.

As a solo dev, I am not sure how to keep UI regressions in check. This is something I need to look into!

Thanks again for your feedback - means a lot!
Agreed.

I have yet to see any evidence that AI companies are actually thinking about what they’re saying. They’re just trying to move markets and make money.

In some cases they’re saying two different things. For example, Microsoft (arguably more a general software company desperately chasing AI rather than an “AI company”) would in one breath have you believe that the modern workplace will not survive without AI, while in the next breath Nadella is on the record noting that AI can’t exist without an ROI, and they’re not yet seeing an ROI that justifies it generally.

The OpenAIs of the world can’t imagine a world where the premise of their product isn’t the default/a given, so they simply engage as if their vision is entirely sensible.
Platypus Diet and Food Consumption
Because there's a very strong strain of (particularly American) thought that the Ideal Life is living off the land in a single-family house, far away from any cities and probably from most other people.

And even the people who recognize that this ideal is utterly impractical can still be strongly influenced by it, such that when a set of technological advances promises the prospect of actually being able to realize it, they jump toward it with stars in their eyes.

Unfortunately, it's not just impractical because of the lack of technology to support it (other obvious problems include the degree to which humans need social interaction to be healthy, the limited amount of land available, the number of things taken for granted in modern life that cannot be either grown or crafted alone, even with robotic help...). It's a fantasy, and always has been.
These articles are so predictable and always have a smug aura around them.

"Reports showed me the absolute worst programmer on my team. Did I fire him? No. I actually gave him a 20% raise.

Do you know why? He was the best programmer on my team (in disguise)."
> The market for climbing is built through reputation, tradition, & thus a visceral rejection of new ideas & methods.

Every climber I meet is lovely, but there is your standard sports equipment elitism at play as well, not to be confused with the very real brand loyalism that comes out of trusting something with your life.

I think if you are bringing a product into the climbing space you would do well to lead with a low risk product for brand reputation, something like a hangboard or training equipment perhaps.
You're a survivalist (whether you admit it or not).
wat... my 9950x cpu that i just bought is way faster than the similarly priced cpu i bought 6 years ago.

The difference is night and day. What are you talking about.
That's a guarantee of some specific operations on deque not a general requirement on the entirety of deque. I looked at your link and erase_if does not have that requirement. So I'd imagine that can and does invalidate references aka move elements.
The compiler can only reorder when that would be ok in the absence of UB. What can be reordered before the write through the pointer can't read the pointer, and can't really do any damage. Syscalls and library calls (in particular if dynamically linked) can't be reordered before the write because the compiler can't see what the do.

Most of the UB FUD are contrived examples that hardly happen in practice. What I'm saying is not that you should write bugs, but that bugs (especially segfaults) will immediately turn up in practice.
The idea is "Rewriting is faster than debugging", so if something breaks, you ask LLM to rewrite it

Not a fan of it.
Actually companies can just wait.
Multiple times my company has said: "a new model that solves this will probably come out in like 2-4 months anyways, just leave the old one as is for now".

It has been true like ten times in the past two years.
Nearly 100% of Lithium Recycled in Latest EV Battery Breakthrough
First, and most obviously, I'm pointing out that any individual without massive wealth attempting to tackle such a thing on their own is inevitably doomed to fail.

But more importantly, I'm pointing out that suggesting personal solutions to systemic problems is not only inevitably doomed to fail, but is promulgating the wrongheaded thinking that has created and sustained the crisis that brought us to this point.

"I don't want all the land to be held by neofeudal corporations that exercise control over every aspect of our lives" cannot be solved by "so become a neofeudal overlord yourself!" Not only is it effectively impossible to achieve, at the very best it only solves the problem for you.

I don't want to just have a better life for myself. I want a better life for everyone.
I am an old macOS user and I agree.
You are getting downvoted because Mac users are ideological zealots who cannot take any criticism about their choices.

I have been subjected to both for a very long time and I have also concluded that often the Windows approach is just superior, more scalable and more intuitive.

The monitor issue is a particular pet peeve of mine because I am absolutely certain Apple did this to drive sales of their monitors. There have been more monitors released recently that match the ideal PPI target that macOS require but otherwise it's a large pain in the ass to work with 3rd party monitors.
And macOS itself has many weird issues with monitors that my PCs just don't have (wake up in particular, and their HDMI implementation is always fucked up for some reason).

macOS looks good and has some quite decent software from passionate people but those are less and less prevalent and subscription push has made many of it quite unappealing.
Or maybe:

I regularly backup my iOS devices via the cable. It’s much faster than OTA sync. It’s also useful when transferring very large files.
What is the threshold for remark? I certainly wasn't aware there was a contest where only the faintest could be submitted?
And if your model is based on physics, then that's fine.

But if your model is an LLM (or close cousin) purely based on previous weather patterns, then it may struggle to accurately predict once the underlying conditions change.
This is a very uninformed comment if you understand even the most rudimentary of the problems involved in early photography and the history of the daguerrotype and photograph, specifically, that exposures needed to be multiple seconds long to capture an image.
There are many situations where those little differences completely vanish because of instruction pipelining. Only way to know is to actually measure it.
Thanks for your feedback!
Could you share a bit about your team? I’m curious how many people are involved and what kinds of skills or roles are needed to make this happen.

Pointer typedefs are typically useless because at the usage side you will have to declare structs on the stack and take their address anyway. So you need to be aware that a typename refers to a pointer type, and furthermore it's harder to see and really know because you have to resolve the typedef in your head instead of seeing it right there in syntax.
You think it's a feature, but the moment you have multiple monitors or multiple instances of an app it becomes a liability.
There is not that much benefit to the menu bar, expect maybe using less space than the windows taskbar (but then you need a dock and need more horizontal space because you can't stack text).

It's all right and it's not significantly a problem that needs to change but it's far from the best or ideal.
Okay, I know that it's more than that. I was just trying to be concise.

But back to the topic. I'm sure that history class needs to add new events. High school physics might include a bit more detail about the shifting ideas about dark matter. But even if this is a critical age, I'm not sure why the old shows need to be replaced.
Such a bummer logging into the fauna dashboard this morning.. I built a lot of my product's logic around fauna and it's tied in really deeply throughout my software. Really bummed to have to rip it all out after all the work done getting it properly integrated in the first place.
Most strategic thinkers in both Western and Eastern circles saw the chances of a full invasion of Ukraine as "Really, really small..." on Feb. 23, 2022.

Imperialist Russia is in its final throws prior to becoming "a normal country," like the rest of Europe. From the European point of view, keeping those insane throws to a minimum is worth every penny, both in human and economic costs.
I'm no VMware fan, but this:

> There exist and have existed for decades robust full featured open source solutions.

is reaching.

vSphere + NSX for advanced network virtualization + vSAN - I'm not sure what "robust open source solution" has covered that ecosystem, let alone for decades.

I've gone from XenServer to vSphere to ProxMox. I played a lot with lxc/lxd in its earlier days.
You and I can be the old men yelling at clouds.

I feel like basic 1:n join concepts have gotten lumped in with trivia about crazy left inner joins with subselects that coalesce and do string ltrimming, all using vendor extensions.
i’d say likely to fail, not doomed.

if you want to have a better life for everyone then what is your solution? you do not provide one.

my solution is if enough people with the right thinking also become neofeudal overlords then we can exercise the change you’re talking about.

do you think some day everything is just going to magically snap into place and everyone will just be fair?

it has been fought for and died over for thousands of years to get where we are. and we are lucky that much less of us have to die in order to stand up for what we believe in.

now we can just make money and use that to effect change. pretty cool evolution of civilization if you ask me.

in addition, what’s wrong with solving the problem for me first? then taking care of others? that’s exactly the right approach.

others can then follow the same approach. now we have a lot of feudal overlords.

diversified micro feudalism is the term that this conversation has spurred. i like it!
I don't feel like the bitter lesson becomes applicable until you've demonstrated some initial degree of success with your technique on a single machine/GPU/CPU/thread. If you cannot make it work in practical environments, it's going to be an uphill battle the entire way.

This is why I've moved toward CPU-only techniques in my experimentation. Being able to execute arbitrary UTMs with high performance provides a significantly richer computational landscape to work with than matrix multiplication. I am perfectly happy with something taking longer as if it's on a linear basis. I.e., adding another CPU provides ~2x search speed. I am NOT happy with ideas like taking a 100x hit on token generation rate because half my parameters are paged out to disk at any given moment due to not having a step-size amount of vram.

The rigidity of the GPU solution stack makes exploration of clever techniques largely a slap on the wrist experience. Anything with rapid control flow changes is verboten for a fancy pants cluster. The latency domain of L1 cache in the CPU is impossible to compete with if you need to serialize all of your events. I strongly believe that control flow is where the magic happens. This is where you can cut through 100 million parameters of linear math bullshit and solve the problem with a lookup table and 2 interpreter cycles. You get about half a billion of these cycles to work with per second per thread, so there is a lot of room to play with ideas.
Open Source Prompt Optimizer
Foster was basically the rallying point for people opposed to the grammarian methods of teaching languages that started in Classics but ended up taking over how foreign language is taught in most schools and contexts. Virtually everyone actually fluent in Latin today (reading, listening, or speaking) either learned directly from his a tutor using Ossa Latinitatis Sola or was downstream of that.

Striking contrast with the most well known classicist in the UK being unable, by their own admission, to comfortably read Latin text basically at all.

Abandoning the old ways has cost us a lot in almost every area of human endeavour. Especially in pedagogy.
I am not a policeman of what could be submitted,
but some results are remarkable enough/interesting enough because they are record breakers or unusual in one way or another. This is run of the mill galaxy in Andromeda. And because Andromeda is quite far away the faintest galaxies we can detect there are in fact much brighter than what we can detect around the MW.
Yes, humans are obviously limited in the things we can instinctively, intuitively predict. That's not really the point. The point is whether something that has been trained to do more complicated predictions will have the a similar feeling when doing those predictions (of being intuitive and natural), or if it will feel more explicit, like when a human is doing the calculus necessary to predict where the same ball is going to go.
The real problem looks like glare, at least to my rudimentarily informed eye.
Its quite common to revise papers. For example, they might have uploaded to arxiv in order to submit to a conference. Later, they revised and submitted to Nature.

In my experience, accidentally memorizing what you are reading doesn't really get in the way of what most people think of as sight reading. Internalizing structures and patterns is 99% of what it means ti "learn to read."
Ask HN: What's the quickest way to build a landing page?
I'm assuming the landscape for this has changed a bit since generative AI has blossomed. I know you can grab some premade landing page templates from Tailwind and other UI libraries, but how would you put it together and host it somewhere? What's the "modern" solution for a quick and easy way to generate a nice looking "coming soon" product page?
We must get rid of the patent system. It is solely a way to grant monopolies to those who do not deserve them and slow down all human progress. Henry Ford said the gas engine was delayed twenty years by a frivolous patent.

But they don't know that so they don't care.
macOS is very appealing to authoritarian control freak because they have the impression of being "in control", ofc the reality is quite different.

One particularly dumb thing is that apps sometimes have various assets that will be modified or used as template/whatever in their App Bundle and this get copied to their Application Support folder, so there is no application install process per se, but it does get done at first launch, and now you are wasting hard drive space just to store files that got duplicated somewhere else.
macOS/iOS App Bundles are extremely large for many cumulative reasons like that. I will note that Apple has no interest whatsoever in improving the situation considering how much they charge for storage...
If you're not returning to coal, and you're anticipating further hostilities with Russia, then you're buying liquid natural gas from the US at much higher prices than are paid by both US and Chinese industry + domestic consumers.

Germany returning to coal would be a bitter pill to swallow, but insisting that Germany will remain competitive despite much higher energy costs which only get worse with scale by saying "it's not that bad" is not convincing.

Free speech, free press, and free assembly is under another round of attacks many places, including Germany, The United States, Russia, Israel, and Turkey, among others. Some are relatively better than others and some had very little left to fall, but all are in absolute decline.

As I'm in favor of free speech as a universal value and not an apologist for anyone's domestic authoritarianism, I don't consider the hypocrisy of the speaker to be a good justification to sweep aside mutually unflattering facts about state policy.
Your manager is not your friend. Your company is not your friend. The internet is not your friend.

Good news is that you're here asking for advice on how to drive your career instead of letting them do it. Bad news is I don't know how to help you if you don't actually want to write code outside of work.

In general I've experienced a lot more valuable growth out of personal projects than LeetCode bullshit. I like to MAKE things, not solve pointless CS puzzles. My eyes also glaze over when I try to read a book or watch a video on some silly CS trivia. So if I had to rank effective strategies for me from least to most effective it's books -> videos -> stupid puzzles -> making things (using videos or other materials to get over sticky points)

You'll notice some things here if you look closely. I have explained what works for me, and why. You'll have to do some experimentation to figure out what works for you, then lean in to that.

Lastly for anyone that has trouble consistently doing a thing I always suggest the "just one hour" method. You promise yourself one hour of your best effort per day of working on that thing. If you're feeling good and get sucked in and work on it for multiple hours that's fine, if you struggling to give any fucks that day you complete the hour and move on to whatever other things you wanted to do.
if you looked at the clr project you would find a credible claim that it doesn't have to be an "effectively different language", that there is a real possibility that "minor annotations are sufficient".

> I don't believe

Of course, we're debating against a belief, and you have plenty of reasons to not believe it that it will be impossible to be swayed by any sort of evidence, and you will always find a way move the goalposts.
Humans have both intuition and explicit calculation, predictive calculation can be stable or inherently unstable.

The point is whether a LLM has any feelings ...
Airpods, which already face sideways?
I've actually used all 3 of them and didn't find any of them to be very easy to work with. As a developer, I do enjoy being able to go down to the markup level when I need to, but these platforms seem designed to keep you separated from that as much as possible.
