“operating at a loss” =/= “low revenue”

I tried the same user, and it worked for me just now. Thanks for working on this project!

Just fyi, I tried one your instance. Searched a user, clicked a result, and got an error.

Error

./app.lua:134: attempt to concatenate field 'username' (a nil value)

Improved hardware capabilities used to come very quickly (see Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling). However that trend is basically over, so getting higher performance hardware takes a lot of effort to make hardware specialized for certain tasks. That’s why you see there inference accelerators like Groq, SambaNova, Cerebrus, etc. However this is hardware that still is gonna go into data centers. Something innovative has to happen on the AI side for commercial-grade models to be runnable on consumer hardware.

In vim you can make some changes to a file, close vim, and then reopen the files, and then undo your changes, i.e. your undo history persists across sessions.

I use helix part-time but am forced to go back to neovim a majority of the time for a few reasons:

1. no persistent undo
2. no ctags and cscope (some C/C++ projects don’t work well with clangd)
3. niche plugins (e.g. I just found a neovim plugin that gives me a way to run ipynb files in-editor)

If 1 and 2 got fixed, I’d be a full time helix user

Depends on the nature of the project. Is it a pure software project or is it a physical device + platform? Is anything implemented yet?

Legitimately not sure you’re joking, so I’m just going to drop this in case you aren’t: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleansing_of_the_Temple

There are a lot of food containers with air-tight seals that would rectify that situation.

I like cooking stews, but it’s gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace.

Stews are one of the easiest things to bring to the workplace. Their quality doesn’t degrade when eaten as leftovers, and they reheat very well in the microwave. What makes you think this would be a hassle?

Sorry, my original comment is a bit accusatory. I did not mean to say you (specifically) are the problem. I intended to say that more level-headed Christians are not what you see portrayed in media because it’s the absolute psychos that are in positions of power, so that’s what you (general) see in the media.

Persecution complex

I would never claim to be persecuted, but you specifically seem to paint with a broad brush.

Where are the outraged Christians trying to take their religion back?

There is nothing to “take back.” True followers of Christ see through these extremists in government as easily as they see through a some snake-worshipping Christian cult. Christians have always known there will be many that will pervert the truth, so they are not surprised. The problem is people like you just assume they are sitting around endorsing this behavior the media makes it seem all Chritians endorse this behavior, but the challenge is the same as always: true Christians do not have the wealth and power to control political/religious messaging around the world. It kind of goes against some key points in their theology.

They’re not. Even though I really enjoyed living in the Bay Area, I’m not blind to how dystopian it can feel. Just hang in the Tenderloin. Or if you really want something eye-opening, shoot on over to Oakland. The area is still great, but it’s a poor value when you consider it has the mkst expensive CoL in the country. I’d love to see the area get itself a little more together.

Edit: though the other commenter is right. Castro street has nothing to do with the TL

It’s also the basis for a popular hardwaregeneration language, chisel. No clue why they chose it

OK, but being a victim doesn’t make you immune to this categorization. A victim of sexual abuse who rapes someone is still a rapist. Someone who was persecuted for their race who then persecutes others for their race is still a racist. Victims don’t get a “Get Out of Jail” card.

I don’t think engineers need encouragement to be cynical. More often engineers need to lighten up.

But then that’s not evolution?

Think that sounds far-fetched? Evolution figured it out with single-cell organisms 2 billion years ago, and they haven’t faltered since.

The “brain” that is in these robots is incredibly simple and does not have the capability to learn. While it feels like tech is breaking boundaries every day, having any serious amount of computational power that simulates learning at this small of a scale is incredibly far off. The fear mongering is not necessary.

You got a source for that last sentence? I’m inclined to degree, but I’d love to see a a concrete explanation proving it.
