Is more cores better here? 2690v2 vs vs 2673v2

Appreciate the link - enjoyed it

I kept seeing this headline...but this is the first time I've seen it from a credible source.

I think we've lost the sensitivity to respond to this nonsense. Years of rage baiting etc.

I think Trump could take full autocratic control of this country and nothing would happen at all. Not from the citizens, not from congress. It would be business as usual as we shushed our nerves with "this is just fake news" or "I'm trying to live an unplugged life" or "if it was really bad somebody would do something about it"

To be fair I felt that way about regular, human written headlines long before Ai.

"It worked, until it didnt." "It was beautiful, until it wasn't"

Idk I'm halfway through it and am really resonating with its points AND missing the telltale signs of ai.

So either his prompt is making the writing more palatable, or maybe he's just prolific.

In either case, I would count this as a w

I agree with you

am i understanding it right that this is used to validate the output of llms? any other uses for distributed lean? genuinely curious

Using Ai isn't lazier than your regurgitated dismissal, to be fair.

Would you add type: ignore to all the files too?

My coworker did that the other day and I'm deciding how to respond.

Great use of sound!

I find myself agreeing with everything.

I hear "thats something we can fix/improve/iterate on" when I'm criticizing code at ny company.

My retort is "why aren't we getting it right the first time?"

Is what you're talking about a new thing? Or respectfully, are you just wrong?

"128MB default with up to 3008MB max. You can submit a support ticket to get 10GB RAM, but I was too lazy to argue with AWS support."

Was this written before wide availability of 10g memory lambdas?

"LLMs are actually pretty deterministic, so there is no need to do more than one attempt with the exact same data."

Is this true? I remember there being a randomization factor in weighing tokens to make the output more something, dont recall what

Obviously I'm not an Ai dev

How do you feel about regular books, whose iterations and edits you dont see?

News triages newsworthiness based on clicks, its incentivized to get an emotional reaction out of you.

The reader has to wade through all that to triage the absolute importance.

After years of consuming media that led me to believe dt was a Russian spy or at best a political underdog I stopped believing there was some grand scheme that he's trying to overtake the government. Half the country voted for him twice, the dedicated investigation did not convict him of collusion, the supreme court is doing its job.

Do you not see the trend to keep you anticipating some terrible coup etc?

I think my point is you're expected to triage find me votes vs 911. And the fact that find me votes is in the news isn't indicative of democratic decline, its the way the news work.

During dt's first term I believed this as well and eagerly awaited the Mueller investigation.

Then when he won reelection I concluded I was consuming media in an echo chamber.

This fear you're commenting on goes way farther back than dt.

Ballroom, mueller investigation, Benghazi, guantanemo, tan suit, parkland, Alex Jones, mission accomplished, 911. These all got airtime. Some longer than others.

You're commenting on the nature of media to fill silence with noise, and the expectation we place on the reader to triage the news.

I no longer succumb to the emotional response opinions or claims like this try to evoke.

Don't we all remember how worked up we were over the russia collusion story, and the special prosecutor Robert muller...and nothing came of it...and we all forgot about it.

I genuinely feel that the constant exposure to a media that fights for your outrage is the single most dividing factor in our country. It's not a president, its not a Charlie Kirk, its not a Nancy Pelosi. Its a news channel that blasts the worst extreme of an interpretation of a quote into a dedicated story, day in and day out.

We no longer have conversations, in person or online, that don't include a whatsaboutism for every single thing.

What about Charlie kirks assassin, what about the January riots, what about blm riots, what about trumps assassination attempts, what about Nancy Pelosis husband, what about ....

Question the media you consume. Really consider the quality of information you're digesting or if its just a play for an emotional reaction.

Can you explain the joe armstrong quote a bit to someone not familiar with the language?

Everything's a spectacle

Great comment.

I have similar thoughts relating to hive mind vs independent societies or progression under autocratic vs democratic societies.

The collective that can organize fully towards a goal is going to beat a collective that can't, or takes steps backwards every 4 years.

Jesus they're calling us meat devs?

The first thing any self respecting python dev is going to do on a new repo is implement typechecking. And the second thing they're going to do is complain about pip/pyenv.

These days I would trade my python experience for scala, even knowing it'd mean less job prospects. We make a lot of excuses for python.

Similarly, I weigh my financial situation through the lens of how many months I could last if I lost my job. The number isn't infinite, and so that anxiety still drives me regardless of the realities of how long a job search in our industry would actually last

I was ruminating in my head about a project I spent almost 3 years on not going live. A little relieved to see that this is pretty common.

I love stuff like this, but I can't help but wonder much of this is simply editorialization on top of natural selection.

Do infected wolves really take more risks? Or are we just connecting two dots with a thin bro science understanding of evolution? It seems impossible to know when you're looking for a broad narrative that fits how genes are spread

I read this very skeptically.

When I hear eye tracking I immediately think of advertisers targeting me based on what I look at, NOT quadriplegics using Apple devices.

Maybe I'm a cynic

Great point

I just bought a few x79 boards for <reasons> and this would have helped me decide my options when plotting out the up front cost vs power savings.
