Well, there are ~2.4 million people in Chicago. In the last 12 months there were ~2600 shootings. In a given week, ignoring all other factors your odds of being shot are 1 in 48000. As a visitor you are unlikely to be in higher crime areas

It likely no longer matters. Not in the sense that AI replaces programmers and engineers, but it is a fact of life. Like GPS replacing paper navigation skills.

It is very hard to reason about lifetimes and they can eat you. We have a lot of guidelines and strategies to simplify it, but it still just isn’t amazing.

The amount of C++ written at my company every day is… a lot. We are slowly fighting away from it towards memory safety, but it is hard. It will take a decade.

What the cows eat matters for how milk tastes too. Cows can get sick. Udders can get infections. Milking processes (machinery) and its ease of cleaning can vary. Bacteria is everywhere. Pasteurization is a cheap, effective and has no real d

My limited understanding is that CUDA wins on smaller batches and jobs but TPU wins on larger jobs. It is just easier to use and better at typical small workloads. At some point for bigger ML loads and inference TPU starts making sense.

Part of the reason for this is likely due to customers preference to have CUDA available which TPUs do not support. TPU is superior for many use cases but customers like the portability of targeting CUDA

As the hype dies down, Goliath shakes off the competition. AI models are now a game of inches and those inches cost billions every inch, but it matters in the long run.

Or just taper. It is quite simple with caffeine for most people. Takes a few weeks. Just reduce consumption by 10-15% every 2-3 days. Symptoms should be much more manageable. I am at 2-3 cups of coffee per day. Maybe a diet red bull. If I s

Time. Focused effort. For me my happiness set point is decent. It takes work to get out of the hole though. No one thing. Exercise. Diet. Forcing myself to do things I know I enjoy. It can feel hollow, but it comes back. Lots of meditation,

You have had a fundamental realization about the human condition in a very traumatic way. This is a lot to deal with all at once.

It is also important to realize that the past does not exist, not really. You get to decide, every day, who you are. It is the simplest and hardest thing.

It’s called depression and when it happens because of a situation in your life that you have limited control over it can be very difficult to recover. Get professional help if you haven’t. It is hard. Been there.

It often isn’t for other people. Kinda like when I drive a certain car I like or wear certain clothes that I like. I am signaling to some degree, but more than anything it’s because /I/ like it. Same reason I lift, stay lean, etc.

Can’t you say this about virtually every single closed source binary only release software? Steam, 1Password, etc? Why is Grayjay special here. Just curious.

Uhh, no cars are emitting lead anymore? AV gas, maybe, if the field is near an airport that is a potential risk.

That is the thing many young people don’t see until they have a kid and realize how much more difficult urban living is with kids unless you have a lot of money. Cities eat your time when you have kids.

The idea is that it is an incremental process. By default you should be able to make minimal changes to your code and it should mostly just work. Over time you can use features that more tightly couple you to Carbon, such as memory safety.

She was placed in a very difficult situation where she had to try and have her own policies and candidacy but also had to defend Biden. There was also the difficulty for her campaign that she was not voted for in a primary, just picked.

The library also has the best chance to fix and prevent security issues systemically. I have played this game for a while now. Library engineers often want to pass the buck onto users of their tools. That is not good developer or user exper
