> But solving problems is only a tool and proxy for achieving the primary goal of conceptual understanding and insight. Forgetting this in the world of AI may turn the tool against the primary goal. I will quote Richard Feynman - “the pr

This is something AI would never take away from us.

It reminds me of Clay Christensen’s book How to Measure Your Life. In one of his talks, he talked about how companies get killed because they optimized for the wrong/short-term metrics. What we are seeing with AI could be a supercharge

Is the non-trivial amount of time significantly less than you trying to ramp up yourself? I am still hesitant using AI for solving problems for me. Either it hallucinates and misleads me. Or it does a great job and I worry that my ability o

You are also not locked down in C++. There are already a handful of coroutine and async runtime implementations out there.

> I’m not totally sure if this is a GOOD idea to add to the c++ standard What are the downsides? Naively, it seems like a good idea to both provide a coroutine spec (for power users) and a default task type & default executor.

I am not a native speaker and I joke about my typos and grammar mistakes being the evidence that none of my code or post is AI generated. Sorry about the typos. I just fixed all the ones I can find. Hope it's better now.

Neat. It certainly makes oncall and maintenance easier! It is likely more resource efficient by e.g. minimizing idle compute, maximizing cache hit rate, etc.

Love it! I wonder if the team knew this explicitly or intuitively when they deployed the strategy. > We created a rule in our central monitoring and alerting system to randomly kill a few instances every 15 minutes. Every killed instance

I was thinking the same. There are many mutexes out there, some are better at certain workloads than the rest. DistributedMutex and SharedMutex come to mind ( https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/main/fo

Math, sure - doesn't the understanding of physics also go through changes? Do we really understand the reality of the world; or how do we know our current understanding of it won't change?

The same happens in work place as well, when multiple people have similar ideas and it is unclear or impossible to credit who came up with the idea first. It is often the case that people with shared context had similar ideas independently

The biggest difference between automatically keeping an MV up to date vs keeping indices up to date is that the write amplification of the latter is a function of the index count you have, while the former is a function of data and query. I

Apple claims that its Weather App has integrated DS’s features. However, for a few times it’s ridiculously wrong. It said it’s cloudy when it’s raining onto the very phone, which I don’t remember happened to DS. Forecast for the next hour f

I think it boils down to cost. Digital content is extremely cheap to replicate and distribute; hence the quality of the content is assumed to be lower (and it’s usually the case). One doesn’t have to put in too much effort in producing digi

Rust borrows c++’s modern memory model verbatim. C++ is a language that keeps innovating besides many legit reasons to hate the language. Having more competition is good. I would expect more rust/{your favorite language} concepts to sh

And no abstraction is perfect, as by definition an abstraction hides some details from the layer beneath. A good abstraction is one that allows you to not look under the hood most of the time. One can be happily writing code in their favori

A bit off topic, Eli Bendersky's entire blog is absolutely amazing. I started writing a technical blog inspired by his. Most of his recent blogs seem to be about Go, which I don't know much about. But I found myself going back to
