Yup, it's the same terrain. I've made something like this in the past. And I did it exactly because `List<Foo>` was too expensive and slow. class FooSOA extends Collection<Foo> { double x[]; double y

Part of the reason Java hasn't reified generics is because C# did and it was a real big headache that also limited non-C# languages on the C# runtime (CLI?). Everything had to be recompiled to work with newer C# runtimes. While it&#x

What did you go from to get to 21? Mostly just hit the LTSes is what we've been doing and since about 17 it's been a pretty easy process in general. Protip: If you ditch lombok everything gets a lot easier.

I disagree. I live in an area where there's almost no homeowner pushback to new housing. A lot of it is going in. Yet the housing market and property values continue to increase and record setting rates. It's quiet far from the

The primary issue is the people that live in "no poors allowed" area can literally push the poors out of a voting area and thus use their "no poors allowed" policies to take over local governments. Which ultimately allo

Yup. I was around for and skeptical of the Oracle purchase of Sun. I was worried about what it would mean for Java. The Java team has been delivering nice language and environment improvements regularly since Java 10.

People that repeat these lies are very incurious. It's incredible how quickly and easily this lie can be debunked yet it still comes up at the same time wind does. It's almost as bad as the "wind turbines cause cancer"

Skyscraper windows kill birds and bats. It's not a real problem. If it were actually a problem you should be able to walk under a wind turbine and find a bunch of dead birds/bats. The reality is you might find 1 or 2, but not en

Well, to do literally anything outside of standard components, you effectively end up in a realm of programmatically drawing your own "anythings". Certainly possible because obviously browsers are examples of this. But a lot har

Here in Boise Idaho, we are watching the local governments completely fail. We've not had rats here until somewhat recently. The State, County, and cities have all taken a "not our problem" attitude to it and instead of put

Oh wow, I didn't realize that! That's crazy, basically everyone that borders them are EU members. I was also under the impression (but haven't checked) that it was pretty easy to cross the swiss border both into and out of

Yeah, that seems like it'd be something that would also stop nuclear deployment.

Wind would be particularly effective in Switzerland and it's fast to deploy. The swiss grid has less than 1% wind which was pretty shocking to me. It seems like Switzerland has a particularly bad renewable story for an EU nation.
526.
by cogman10 4mo ago
Why hasn't Switzerland deployed solar/wind? That seems like a pretty big miss in general. The Swiss grid has almost no wind which is strange for such a mountainous nation. And solar is also quite low which is also strange given

Funnily, I'd say the reason web apps tend to be worse than native apps is because the web is so much more powerful and flexible. For a native app, I'm often limited to just a small set of components and maybe images I can put on t

Doctors aren't yoloing it. What's happening is further research on the medicines are being done which show medicinal benefits for off label use. In many cases, it's researchers seeing a drug has a known side effect and sayin

Yup, I've seen this sort of off label prescription at least 3 times. A lot of drugs require almost no evidence (especially if they are relatively cheap or common) to be given to the insurance company when they are prescribed. And if y

Let me put it this way. My oven has a proofing feature. It wasn't really advertised, it's just there. I like that feature and I use that feature when baking. If one day my oven manufacturer pushed an update which removed my proo

Japan will certainly drive a property into the ground (Dragonball, Naruto) though at least they keep coming up with new/inventive stories to go along with it. I'd also say Japanese media isn't without it's tropes that i

Has there been any thought/exploration in non-nvidia platforms? ROCm, vulkan, metal, npus, opencl, etc?

by cogman10 5mo ago
We can never go back to a pre-internet/streaming era. While that means it's pretty isolating to find favorite media (hard to talk about something like "Solo Leveling" with anyone that's not into that sort of thing).

Garfield was always about marketing. Davis was in it to sell merchandise. It was practically designed in a lab to be the ideal comic strip for moving product. And as such, Garfield has never had any sort of message or meaning. It's

True, but my point is that if/when local models get to the point where they are capable of doing the "delivery team" work what's next? What can these bigger SOTA models offer? And especially what can they offer above a

by cogman10 5mo ago
I believe there's a level of diminishing returns. Sure, SOTA will probably always benchmark better than local models. But do we need it? That's the question that the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic should be worried about.

Ok, how are people powering these things? 2.4kW is well beyond a standard circuit in the US. Are people having 240V/30A circuits installed? Are they hijacking the dryer plugs? EV charger plugs? Hottub circuits?

Maybe a business, certainly not the average person. And whether or not they use it will be determined by price more than anything. If the added batteries and renewables don't translate to appreciable decreases in energy prices then I

By your logic, no modern book in existence is banned. The books are always available somewhere. "Banned" isn't generally universally applied. It may just be banned in the OPs libraries. Or maybe these are simply commonly b
