Which is different than asking if voting fraud changed the outcome and more importantly different than asking which side benefited. Someone who calls targeted overly aggressive culling of voter registrations fraud has something of a point, even if that’s a long way from stuffing ballots or meaningful changes in results.

Thank you for the answer! You see, up until now I had never appreciated that a GPU does more than matmuls... And that first reference, what a find :-)

Edit: And btw, another question that I had had before was what's the difference between a tensor core and a GPU, and based on your answer, my speculative answer to that would be that the tensor core is the part inside the GPU that actually does the matmuls.

Hard pass. The complexity of having to use binary packages or build things is not worth the performance benefit. The pure-Python version requires building from source and passing special flags, so it is not possible to specify it in requirements.txt.
In the notation of this page, the entropy H(P) is best thought of as:

How about not simply summarising, but creating a broadly similar novel, with similar characters which undergo broadly similar story arcs?

I can see how it could end up as infringement, but also how one could avoid infringement. The issue would seem to be if the original author wishes to sue.

As an example, compare Brooks "The Sword of Shannara" with Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings". It is widely accepted that the former is heavily derivative for the latter; in my view essentially being an example of the above broadly similar novel.

Yet AFAIK, Tolkein's estate didn't sue Brooks. However if they had, how likely would a victory have been?

Now in the case of "Generative LLM", we may have an even closer "derivative work". However the LLM users could well get away with it if they consume a wide enough canon, and the source authors either do not learn of the derivation, or do not have the means to sue.

Hyperion Entertainment is a company that has access to the AmigaOS source code because they were contracted over 25 years ago to port AmigaOS to PowerPC (called AmigaOS 4) as part of a failed attempt to keep the platform going. After that didn't go anywhere, they decided to start selling AmigaOS 3 updates meant to run on old Commodore Amiga hardware to retrocomputing enthusiasts. The project has very little overhead because despite being a commercial product, all development is done by unpaid volunteers.

Note that there's been ongoing lawsuits over whether Hyperion is legally allowed to sell AmigaOS 3 updates due to their contract being to develop AmigaOS 4. Here's a pretty good summary of that situation and how it's been holding up the release of an Amiga replica product: https://x.com/MuseumCommodore/status/1902705399234756786
Ah, I overlooked the `some`. Interesting, that's even more skewed than I initially thought.
The true/false terminology makes sense in boolean logic because you’re dealing with the truth of propositions. However, it does not make sense in the context of a configuration language, where there are no propositions that could be true or false.
so you've moved the goalposts even further now and speculate that succesful people started out as slackers, got lucky, and that luck made them work harder

This could be true. One area I would like to see more data on is how UBI will be paid for. If taxes increase on medium-high earners to pay for it, you very well could see a drop-off in labor force participation even if it isn’t directly related to the receipt of UBI.

That seems like an easy fix, they could release it as `whenever[pure]`. It would probably take less time to write up the issue than to write your comment.
You don’t actually need quotes to define a string in YAML. Eg the following syntax

User:
Name: >-
Bob
Phone: >-
01234 56789
Description:>-
This is a

That’s both readable and parses your records as strings.

> If you really hate air pollution, move to the country and be willing to sacrifice the advantages of cities.

i really do hate air pollution! it drove me away from idaho, where 2-3 months of the year massive forest fires would choke the air and force everyone inside (gave my kids asthma).

we recently moved away from a suburb near two highways, out to a rural area where we are half a mile from the nearest paved road.

besides the lowered air pollution, the lower noise pollution is a huge benefit. hearing birds instead of traffic is amazing. and my kids don’t choke in their sleep any more!

2 years prior, in 1972, Andrei Tarkovsky adapted Stanisław Lem's Solaris to the big screen in the Soviet Union, which may have contributed to Dick's paranoia. Anyway, the film's a masterpiece that I highly recommend, and since it was published before 1975 it is not subject to copyright. You can find it on YouTube [1].

Maybe it's changed. I'm going back a long way but part of my view on this was shaped by an internal white paper written by an engineer who analyzed the cost of building a Gmail clone using commodity tech vs Google's in house approach, this was maybe circa 2010. He didn't even look at people costs, just hardware, and the commodity tech stack smoked Gmail's on cost without much difference in features (this was focused on storage and serving, not spam filtering where there was no comparably good commodity solution).

The cost delta was massive and really quite astounding to see spelled out because it was hardly talked about internally even after the paper was written. And if you took into account the very high comp Google engineers got, even back then when it was lower than today, the delta became comic. If Gmail had been a normal business it'd have been outcompeted on price and gone broke instantly, the cost disadvantage was so huge.

The people who built Gmail were far from dumb but they just weren't being measured on cost efficiency at all. The same issues could be seen at all levels of the Google stack at that time. For instance, one reason for Gmail's cost problem was that the underlying shared storage systems like replicated BigTables were very expensive compared to more ordinary SANs. And Google's insistence on being able to take clusters offline at will with very little notice required a higher replication factor than a normal company would have used. There were certainly benefits in terms of rapid iteration on advanced datacenter tech, but did every product really need such advanced datacenters to begin with? Probably not. The products I worked on didn't seem to.

Occasionally we'd get a reality check when acquiring companies and discovering they ran competitive products on what was for Google an unimaginably thrifty budget.

So Google was certainly willing to scale things up that only made financial sense if you were in an environment totally unconstrained by normal budgets. Perhaps the hardware divisions operate differently, but it was true of the software side at least.
The issue isn't that the comparison should be valid, the issue is that datetimes should not be dates. At best, there is a "has a" relationship, but there shouldn't be an "is a" relationship.

I really like the aesthetic of the site and how the principles are shown. IMHO everyone building things, even the nerdiest tool, should know about these laws. One addition I'd like to see on that site: Show more examples of well-done interfaces that highlight the respective principle. There are some (I found two Google screenshots), but I'd like to see it for every law. That would be great.
> The author is essentially arguing that fewer people will be able to build software in the future.

You comment is talking about ability to build software, vs. the article (in only a single sentence that references this topic, while the other 99% circles around something else) talks about the job market situation. If what you wanted so say "The author is arguing that people will probably have a harder time getting a job in software development", that would have been correct.

> That's the opposite of what's happened over the past year or two. Now many more non-technical people can (and are) building software.

You're (based on the new comment) explicitly saying that people without technical knowledge are getting jobs in software development sector. Where did you get that info from? Would be an interesting read for sure, if it's actually true.
I feel like you are misrepresenting things (intentionally or not).

A folder of markdown docs in your favourite text editor, ftw!

+ Many editors have really good support for markdown built in. Treat H1’s like notes and along with modern fuzzy search for files/symbols you can easily get to any note and jump around.

This is too limited in thinking. It's not just about "defence critical components", but the know-how and having the production workflow knowledge. It's all well and good to have rules on what goes into frigate, but if you don't have the shipyards to build things then it's a bit of a moot point:

It's not just about industry but about capacity as well: if you have (in this example) only (say) 4 shipyards you're going to have a tough time beating someone who has 40.

GUIs have keyboard shortcuts for decades, blame the developer that wasn't up to their stuff, not providing keyboard navigation.

Heck, there are even Win32 and X Windows APIs designed with the exact purpose for keyboard navigation and shortcuts.

Maybe instead of doing TUIs one should better spend their time learning the tools of their craft.

Skyscanner failure to adopt such tooling, which browser also have due to accessibility requirements, has nothing to do with technical issues, all about skill and willingness where to spend budget.

When I did my 20% on Go at Google, about 10 years ago, we already had a semi-formal rule that channels must not appear in exported function signatures. It turns out that using CSP in any large, complex codebase is asking for trouble, and that this is true even about projects where members of the core Go team did the CSP.

If you take enough steps back and really think about it, the only synchronization primitive that exists is a futex (and maybe atomics). Everything else is an abstraction of some kind. If you're really determined, you can build anything out of anything. That doesn't mean it's always a good idea.

Looking back, I'd say channels are far superior to condition variables as a synchronized cross-thread communication mechanism - when I use them these days, it's mostly for that. Locks (mutexes) are really performant and easy to understand and generally better for mutual exclusion. (It's in the name!)

The benefits of getting more of the population to cycle are so beneficial that it's a joke to even try comparing the return on investment of cycle lanes versus car infrastructure and of course, when there's lots of cars, it pretty much pushes out other forms of transport due to the size/weight/danger/pollution of the cars.
