You can write software for the hardware in a cross-compiled language like Triton. The hardware reality stays the same, a company like Cerebras might have the superior architecture, but you have server rooms filled with H100, A100, and MI300

I get your point and I agree with it, I don't think this flips anything. What you are describing is an engaged, motivated student who is using the tools for learning when the traditional system did not suit them. I am actually the same

I am a PhD student who teaches part-time in some courses, and a difference I have personally ran into is that disinterested students still had agency over what they had written. When you present something, or hand something in that you have

Have exactly the same experience as you. Had a period in my college days where I had a neural network running that could successfully trade on patterns of periodicity of non-chaotic windows of the asset. But as soon as the system would go b

Yeah... I have had a hard time with my friends on this topic. In general, in my country (Sweden), the system is kicking the can down the road. You have 65% of the people in the country owning, with an common housing mortgage at 85% of the p

You are already past your formative years. Imagine if you were 14 today, and you knew nothing else than BetterHelp, or psychologists in your phone. You would not know that there is an alternative, and would never feel the human connection w

Documentation is the most valuable if it captures the design decision and intention at the time of the creation of the software, rather than the functionality of the software itself. Its pointless to write "This function splits the inp

I actually did not mean the post as a call to perfection/action but I can see why it could be seen as such. You can have a temporary solution that is good-enough for its purpose at a time. I advocate for the conscious effort to evaluat

You can see it from other aspects than just money. For example, renting instead of owning frees up time and gives you much more predictable expenses. From not needing to fix the house to being able to be unemployed with predictable monthly

Temporary solutions will become permanent solutions unless you explicitly hold yourself to fixing it within a certain time window because it becomes harder the longer time has passed. This ranges from TODO's in codebases, to unpacked m

I think what is missing on from the conversation is the generational question. In general, once new technologies have been introduced, there has been the older generation who has been sad about it because they have the frame of reference on

I can kind of see the average traditional service work position to shift into a Uber-esque model where you are a essentially a gig contractor. The worker takes the full risk for slow days, and the business owner does not have to pay you a s

What can a decentralized, democratic government do against foreign autocratic powers that can influence any election in WEEKS? A part of the problem today is that there are massive autocratic powers that have the resources, means and channe

I feel like the author is, funnily enough given the context, lumping in self-understanding and self-reflection of any kind into a single category. A tool (analysis) that is used to grant you agency is equated to an identity kit (a label) th

The trade-off here is a social connections versus privacy/integrity. I can make the decision to use Signal or whatever, but as long as my whole social circle does not do the same, it wont be useful. And since when they do the swap, the
