You're right, it's basically air pollution. We know that air pollution makes people older and kills millions every year, although the exact mechanism is not known (I have lots of health problems because of it, but no good test to

This is great, one modification that I would make is to add CI/CD and testing when there's a regression that was not expected, or when it makes development simpler. That way I don't have to think about the ,,right time'&

I loved your last interview with Harry Stebbings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4RrdKdC4v4&t=1437s I don't want to see interviews about you quitting and saving the world, I wanted to see how you want to make mon

What matters is Boeing MAX vs everything else. It needs a few years more of testing at least until we can trust that it's safe.

Not really...the real idiots are Saudis for giving SoftBank more money to play with. Still, so far it doesn't look like oil revenues are going down.

Thanks for finding an _exception_. If you look at the series, they took 14 random people for each group and gave them 2 days of survival training and basic helper tools. Just looking at how the men killed the crocodile in a team work with t

It was really interesting to see Season 2 of the Island (men vs women). The most interesting part was not how much women failed to survive, and how successful men were (which makes sense, as men are designed for survival), but the feeling o

In every species female is the selector, that's how natural selection works. Generally in a group of healthy young population with 50% sex ratio, about half of the men are selected, and they help eachother. But in the online dating &#x

Switching to M1 MacBook Pro (ARM) from an intel machine with Windows 10 made my life so much easier. I miss the games, but everything else just works. My tablet and phone is ARM as well, and I'm not considering switching them to inte

io_uring is a more modern API to file access. Actually I think it would be great if everything was a file and the communication with the kernel was only with io_uring.

Sure, you're right, probably waiting a few years until rates go down again and then buying an apartment with 30 year fixed rate is a better strategy.

I did something similar, but with the current low rate climate I believe using Google salary to buy an apartment / house and max out a 30 year fixed house loan is a much better investment, as it's a safe leverage and it will alway

As far as I know you can't change your gender without going through an administrative process at the government, which at least means changing your identity card. I don't know about U.S., but in my country there's an administ

Maybe I'd love to see Tinygrad beat GGML in its own game (4 bit LLM support on M1 Mac GPU or Tensor cores) before adding more backends / models. It's easy to debug because the generated kernels can be compared to GGML, and st

by xiphias2 3y ago
They are competing (although they are very different, tinygrad is full stack Python, ggml is focusing on a few very important models), but in my opinion George Hotz lost focus a bit by not working more on getting the low level optimizations

I think there's enough data that even the best human programmers and lifetime checkers aren't able to track lifetimes over a 10 million line code base. That's why we're stuck with lifetimes as function contracts.

Some Rust developer said that Rust was originally what Go has become. So if you want to try something like that, just look at Go :)

Dropping to unsafe rust is quite easy as long as you understand what you're doing (and reading pointer is generally unsafe). In the case of automatically upgrading from int to bignum, or green threads, going lower level would be much h

You don't need to complain for this, just fix the code in all places by calling a better csv parser that you can also write.

I was playing with Tokio / Rust on MacOS and hit an about max 500k requests / second limit where the CPU was mostly doing send / recieve calls, not using MacOS asyncio system calls. I know it's a different library, and a

Maybe this is an arrogant question, but why adding asyncio to these libraries in general in all OSs is slow? I would think that writing the kernel part would be the hardest, but it's usually the event loop implementations that don&#x27

ShareGPT extension stopped working for me. It looks like OpenAI will do Embrace, extend and extinguish with all successful extensions to its core product.
