Then I don't understand at all what point you were trying to make about being miserable in our jobs. Cleaning up after bad code has always been part of the job for decades; so has balancing the creation of new technical…
The whole point of the MS Access reference is that similar situations have been tropes since at least the 1990s. Bad code generated by someone who doesn't know how to program well -- whether that person is supposed to…
That's not very close to the argument they make; the claim (right or wrong) is that large corporations often use monorepos, and those are bigger than single-project repositories like used for open source projects. Their…
Why "sadly"? The person writing a link should provide enough detail for readers to figure out whether they should follow the link. I rolled my eyes the first time I saw this entry on HN because it just said "Neki" and…
The same thing as the last word of "That is the difference between 22 and 226 seconds, measured." Techies I know would mostly omit "measured"; the rest would show, not tell.
Drawing a strong conclusion from one shaky data point - classic human tell? I've been reading John D. Cook for years (maybe decades? "The Endeavour" is one of my oldest bookmarks), and this post was no more written by…
The usual metaphor for keeping customers is a walled garden, right? I think it's useful to distinguish them by default.
2048-bit RSA gives something like 28 more bits of security than 1024-bit RSA has, so it would take about 250 million times as long to factor one 2048-bit key.
> This time the glitch was 33 feet, who's to say next time it couldn't be 3300 feet? People who study this. This glitch was caused by unusual, structured, widespread distortions in the ionosphere. There's no known…
M-Code is a new encrypted signal that is not fully operational yet. OCX was supposed to enable it. GPS has always had the P(Y) code, which is an encrypted signal, at a higher chip rate than the C/A code that has been…
To meet its integrity budget, a GBAS needs at least triple redundancy, not just a single station. If one has a lot of patience, one can read the details of how it works at https://elibrary.icao.int/product/299828 (along…
Yes. WAAS should also help a lot, or at least tell you that you can't get a good position.
No (current) mention of weights being released, so apparently not.
This article describes what is usually called a Pareto frontier: the best known achievable trade-offs between two (or more) optimization goals. "Efficient frontier" in common usage seems to be specifically a Pareto…
A decade ago, I worked on a simulation program that involved a C++ core with a Python wrapper and DB interface. End users cared a lot about throughout with a rather limited size, weight and power budget. We spent a lot…
My guess is that it's not complete or stable or qualified enough for them to publish it as a supported feature. Maybe the power draw is too high and it triggers thermal throttling too quickly, similar to early Intel…
No, they use the same definition of memory bandwidth as others, but Apple Silicon has a lot of memory channels. In previous generations, prefill has been compute-limited and decode is fast.…
It takes almost 8 years for $3.25/mo of electricity savings to break even with a $300 difference in up front cost. Assuming the time value of money is zero, that is.
Usually, the exposure limit is based on an active phone next to an ear. RF field strength falls off with the square of distance, so a phone on each side of your head is most dangerous to the respective ear and bits of…
I can't speak to your specific setup, but if the two SIMs use different carriers then they will often need to use different frequencies. A phone could in theory use twice as many radios, but the emitted power limits…
Is it that impressive? It is a model generating short strings from scratch, so I do not think there is significant token parsing or memory allocation going on. In compute performance, 10M tok/s * 4096 parameter/tok * 4…
Yes, but their "run rate" assumes the current level continues unchanged, right? If revenue per month goes down then the projected run rate is optimistic. However, revenue has been increasing, so the reported run rates…
"Latent" means it (the space) is there all the time but usually not exposed or apparent. Latent space is a high-dimensional space that is not legible to humans, so normally reasoning gets constrained to progress in…
Yes, it's notable that they mean "production" in the sense of 40 vehicles rather than 40 models or model variants. It's close to prototype quantities rather than production; US law allows the military to build up to 10%…
Yes, this. At work, I have side-by-side 32" 4K monitors. At home, I have a 59" curved 7680x2160 monitor that is the same size as the two work monitors combined. My home setup is much more ergonomic than work. Beyond…
