Why would you assume that all software is written for servers in datacenters? Rust tends to be used in embedded devices, WASM, and other weird contexts where there might not be as many resources available. If you're writing a CRUD app,

Wouldn't it be much simpler for California to do this?

Maybe it’s because crypto actually needs the advanced features and correctness that Rust provides, while language doesn’t matter for most of your basic CRUD jobs so people use JS or whatever

You can get almost unlimited GPU time on Google Colab for $50 a month. I don't know why or how they pay for this, but it does bring "real research" into the reach of individuals.

Fast AI teaches you a little bit more about being a practitioner, dealing with datasets, pointing the right algorithms at the right data and checking whether you get good results. Andrew Ng for me did a lot more to demystify how stuff actua

I'd be interested in some analysis of whether Luna would have been more likely to work without the "Anchor protocol".

What a ridiculous take. Walkable districts are a good thing, and instead of building more, you want to ban them?

This is some random startup nobody has heard of. HN likes to work themselves into a froth over every scrap of bad crypto news, but this is utterly insignificant. Crypto will continue to fluctuate wildly as it always has.

There's no reason not to use it for long term financial investment. I don't think your money is any safer or less safe between different brokerages. They rode a fad to greatly increase market share. The fad is ebbing, but I'm

Who cares? This is literally an instance of a sitting government official using the power of his office to punish a private enterprise for not donating to him. It's that simple. That's what Disney did to offend DeSantis (that, and

Works pretty well for lawyers. It's not perfect, but lawyers have to adhere to a code of legal ethics, and only lawyers can have equity in law firms. Seems like this model could be transferred directly to the medical industry. It would

Yes, each row is written with one call to the sqlite command line. I was going to do something where I wrote inserts into a file and flushed them into sqlite in batches, but sqlite is not the bottleneck, so once retries were taken care of,

Any worth that "the algorithm" has is not in it's implementation (probably pretty standard ML prediction systems), but in the training data and weights. In isolation from the data and the rest of the code it is probably prett

Take this with a huge grain of salt because I am by no means an expert, but I currently am working on some scripts that import a few million rows into SQLite. I am using bash and the sqlite command line. I was getting a lot of concurrent wr

No, actually, upgrading X Code requires a trip to Apple's website. On Apple's website, mobile application developers are likely to come across previews of great new content on Apple TV+, thus enticing them to sign up for Apple&#x2

That's what always seemed like bullshit to me. If you want to have a 4 year cliff to discourage job hopping, then give people a 4 year cliff. Why try to weasel them into it?

There was a talk that's been shared on here from Ben Horowitz where he explicitly pitches the 90-day window as a way to screw employees. That's probably where the perception comes from: > The second way to handle it - no compan

The context here is that Axie was using a "proof of authority" blockchain, which is controlled by a predetermined set of signers. This is already very bad because it makes them a custodian of the money on the chain. Worse, they us
