I couldn’t agree more. Another recent example: Statisticians: German GDP decreased slightly in Q3. Journalists: Germany in recession due to only producing last century technology. A truck driver in middle Nebraska: I switched to an electric

Ah okay I didn't know that you could avoid that. "Think of WebUI like a WebView controller" the README says.

The best way to understand is probably to try it. I feel lost whenever I‘m outside a Fish shell. Other shells don’t provide as much immediate feedback. I never use it for scripting though. Fish script language is about as unintuitive as Bas

Customers want consistency. That’s why management turns people into a reliable system where anyone can quit without affecting the outcome of the system. Just like engineers think about software as a system, business people think about compa

Almost no substance in the talk. Just showing scary looking videos and pictures and making a lot of extreme claims which should reasonable if you don't think about it. For example, he says that "Google is basically useless since t

OpenAI showed they can do capability extrapolate/predict (training loss) for the amount of compute they put in [1, see Predictable Scaling section]. This is also in line with earlier findings. Furthermore, there is no evidence at this

Hotkeys with VS code can me made mostly the same right especially with Vim mode? I like the flexibility most. Little time when switching between projects or languages because it’s always Zellij, one or more nvims and a shell and ripgrep. It

I didn’t know this was possible. The RedMagic 9 Pro puts the camera and fingerprint sensors in between the LED diodes. Very cool tech-wise.

If you want to do such a random approach then do buy a bit off all because then you‘re upside goes toward infinite while downside is at most 100%. If you short, your downside goes toward infinite. Plus the market can stay irrational longer

I currently have a paper under review (first round) that was submitted the 2nd of August. This is at the second journal. The first submission was a few months before that. I'm not sure peer review makes things more rigorous, but it sur

This article paints a very negative picture. It might feel "safe" to always focus on the bad things, but optimists typically get more done. Would Torvalds ever have started working on the Linux kernel if he wasn't an enormous

You can nowadays use the built-in CI instead of Drone. It’s experimental but has worked fine for me so far.

Cool! What are the specs?

Ah yes thanks! Makes sense. So, more transistors allow for the more complex instructions, which allow for more effective instructions per cycle (such as SIMD).

Depends what you consider as part of chip production. If you consider new instructions and the related software as new chip production, then the performance improvements have continued quite dramatically. Single chip inference has gone 1000

Anyone here who knows what are the benefits of going from, say, 4 or 3nm to 2nm? ASML talks about energy cost per function mostly, but it’s not as clear cut as transitions in the 2000s were if I‘m not mistaken.

The incentive for fund managers is to make as much profit as possible and not care much about losses. If you take into account that fund managers typically blow up every 10 or so years, then they do underperform by more than 2%. Read Taleb&

I did my MSc thesis on ML in 2019 and so I‘m definitely no expert but one mental model worked well for me. Machine learning models learn thousands of small functions which map input to output. A higher level "function" will choose

I agree. We have no idea. From a statistical standpoint, I‘d rather have humanity pollute less because the chance that humanity will thrive in a changed ecosystem is lower than in the current since humans have evolved in the current.

It’s very interesting to see businesses like BMW, Mercedes, Shell and Google obsess over quarterly revenues instead of the long term. I would see it as a red flag as investor, but maybe the main investor in these companies is someone who ob
