I agree that the article is strongly worded, and Andrew seems quite angry/frustrated. However, it also gives me flashbacks of how it was back in the golden days, when Linus was calling wannabe kernel contributors idiots who should have died because they "couldn't find their mothers tit to suck on".

Having low patience is a quirk of our nerd culture, and now that the woke season has ended, it seems to be going back to how it has always been!

> This model completes tasks like code generation more thoroughly than the previous preview model and is intended to reduce cases of “laziness” where the model doesn’t complete a task.

How does one solve for this? Wrangling the prompt with "please don't be lazy", or are there inference tricks like running thru the weights differently/multiple times?

Satya did turn the company around, didn't he? It seems a reliable way to create wealth without too much trouble is to start a company and then find someone capable to run it.

That's exactly what a Pakistani like you would say!

> Venice was a Great Power, with colonies and occupations all over the Mediterranean, vying with states like France and England for supremacy.

The nostalgia of lost glory in Europe is touching. In today's world even France and England aren't major powers, much less Venice. The truth thing is, these cities will never become major powers again. In a world where education is disseminated fairly, the economy of any country will be directly proportional to its population (barring outlier natural resources like in Gulf countries). I would bet my money on a Tier 2 city in India like Surat over has-beens like Venice.

I would never use this, when the original is available to read, that too in English! Consider the sheer dumbification at ~27 minute mark, "The universe has it's rhythm, and im vibin' with it".

Reminds of Pakistan, specially when there was a lot of violence during 2008s. There would be _multiple_ bombs blasts on any given day and after a while, the news lost it's real world import for people. I was a tourist in Karachi then and recall appalling insensitivity when I heard of a blast on so and so road. The news just made me update the route I took that day.

I think the optimal strategy would be to use the "reduce" step in mapreduce. Have threads that read portions of the file and add data to a "list", 1 for each unique name. Then, this set of threads can "process" these lists. I don't think we need to sort, that'd be too expensive, just a linear pass would be good. I can't see how we can do SIMD since we want max/min which mandate a linear pass anyway.

The largest demographic of readers, who have the ability to make or break a book is middle class white women. If you can convince them to read your book, you have made it.

Another reason for this is the sheer amount of rubbish literature that is being printed, specially in the category of "Young Adult". There are endless streams of psychopath male leads and damsel in distress characters, with predictable story lines and pretentious dialogues.

Be careful, your racism is showing.

The solution to Japan's problem is mass import of highly educated, non radical people who are a net positive contribution to Japanese society. India, China, S Korea are good candidates.

Oh no, this is sad news. I wish Isovalent had not given in to avarice, for I cannot ascribe this to anything else. They had really good engineers, with the best inhouse eBPF expertise of any company. This news is worse than CoreOS being gobbled up by RedHat.

> so that my nephews would have cousins to hang out with.

That is a very weird reason to have lots of children, unless you were speaking in jest. If you do decide to have many children, I hope it'll be for more than the mirth of your nephews.

Isn't this how tcpdump/ngrep/gopacket work? For parsing the HTTP protocol, I find netpeek effective

Nice! I like how it can double as a static site generator, so you can replace Hugo/Jekyll with this. That might need some glue code/extensions to the language though.

Also known as lack of cheap Indian labour

> Cavalrymen ... had the chance to participate in spectacular displays wearing special face-mask helmets, sometimes referred to as cavalry parade helmets.

It must have been a good show [1], something for the bored young females of the town to gossip and fantasize about

Sigh. You remind me of a certain Mr. Cecil Vyse from the book I'm currently reading.

Why is the logo the same as bun.sh?

Russ Cox has fully imbibed his $DAYJOB into his life to the extent it feels unhealthy. Golang Shirt; multiple golang wall paintings; countless golang soft toys in the background and on his side. I am sure he has a few golang tattoos as well!

I only thought about this yesterday, so I have not written any line of code yet, but I want to create a DSL for making animations. The animations I have in mind are things like 3b1b, codeaesthetic style videos but generated entirely automatically via the DSL code. Looking for inspiration currently on the language syntax and features etc.

Fasting is a great idea, but most of the Muslim friends I have eat through out the night after breaking the fast at sunset. I don't think that is very healthy.

Every once in a while, I get to read about what I call the "Invisible countries". These are the countries that are apparently there, but have no weight at the global scale. I don't know anyone from there, don't know what their cities are called, don't hear any news from there. Peru falls squarely in that category. Others are Turkmenistan, Gabon, Monaco, Senegal etc.

I tried understanding this article but I don't get what it wants me to be angry about.

Is it just that a political party operates a bunch of Facebook pages where they share memes against their opponents?

How about you not spend the same weekend creating throwaway accounts to make snide remarks in the hope of getting some engagement? This won't fill the longing that you have in your lonely heart for any connection. I wish you well.
