Theoretically, yes, in practice, no.

excellent, i dont need it to think, i need it to execute.

Turns out building houses is super profitable once you remove the cost of building materials, labor, and land.

i mean the whole ecosystem, compiler, CPU, etc. I think that the compiler will produce performant code, and i think that the CPU will execute code that operates a certain way faster, and that its pretty safe to assume this.

Basically, I think that in 10 years, in practice, radix sort will still be faster than quicksort, despite theory saying its slower.

from people without ad blockers, but honestly facebook is not the free open internet.

in theory, no, in practice, yes.

if you use the linux kernel that amount of ram is tunable, and write will cause backpressure on its own when this is exceeded.

limited resources, no modern GPUs, no $10 billion dev budgets.

pair it with codewhale, 50 agents, 200 MB of ram.

CPUs aren't black boxes. They are actually much better documented than almost all the software that runs on them.

If you want to treat the CPU as a black box, trust me you do not want to use a CPU with out a branch predictor, your slow code will run like molasses frozen in antarctica.

The regular algo will be lightyears slower on any CPU that does not have a branch predictor.

yes, but the unstated caveats for fastest are

"i can't program, i only make CRUD apps"

"i don't write anything that requires computation"

"i do server side rendering on a serverless platform"

in reality rails runs circles around typescript for productivity for CRUD/webapps.

haven't web browsers always been C/C++? they are typescript now? it would seem the fastest way to support Mac, Windows and Linux is 500MB of C++.

most of the COVID public health science that appeared on TV, the internet allowed people to evaluate whether actual science contradicted what the government said was science, and freed them from lockdowns that were pointless, or taking vaccines which were claimed to prevent getting or transmitting covid and allowed people to evaluate them based on the factual risks / rewards.

There's not really any NEED to grow almonds. Most agriculture in California is not required to sustain life in CA. However, without AI people wouldn't have jobs that could afford CA rents, so AI is required so people can live. Lets get rid of unnecessary uses like agriculture, unless farmers can justify that the usage is actually required to sustain life.

If you look at water distribution you'll find that its unevenly distributed so farmers should pay a water tax and distribute that water to the less water fortunate. CA has an extremely high water GINI with a few farmers consuming far more than their fair share.

0.00000718742 degrees = 31.5 inches / 40,075 km * 360 or 0.000451599142 arcseconds obviously its not very much,

It's alive and well in south america. let the haters hate.

add AI to the products and features you want to ship, don't add AI to the ones that don't.

You want to start with at least an AI Roadmap that outlines whatever you want to do, and sprinkle in some AI love.

That's why there is work, no supply of fresh grads.

Chile is awful (Santiago specifically). Sorry if you are from there. High prices, high crime, full of feminists, everything closes early. Might as well move back to the west.

I can tell you living in south america that this is true. Three drinks esp. caiprinhas even at the expensive places would be about $13, $8 or $9 on promo. Cover for the fancy place is $17. Bottle service is $34.

Plus the bombed out building post war Berlin industrial feel is 1. Real, and 2. free for the promoter and the drinks are cheaper there. Yes, that's real barbed wire, and yes, its really electrified.

Come to the southern cone of south america (brazil, paraguay, argentina), late night dance is alive and well. Colombia too to a lesser degree.

Some of us like smoking...

Given that SF is losing people and Boise is gaining them, apparently many people want to make that move.

I guess some people think human excrement on the street isn't very "vibrant", they're probably racists or something for not liking it I'm sure.

> Finally, if unions are so bad, why do many of the largest companies in the world continue to hire from unions?

Because it's illegal not to. I dunno if you know this but if you have a union shop, the company can't just hire non-union employees. (In most cases) Once your company unionizes you can hire union employees, or go out of business.

Realistically what companies do is incorporate a subsidiary in a non-union jurisdiction and outsource the jobs to the subsidiary.

One where people were expected spend more time working than being offended.

Just move the office to a low tax country / state. Union people will refuse to move there.

Yeah I can, the The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia, and Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta collectively and individually do not have the power to imprison people. There is no determination they can make under the law that results in people or corporations going to jail.

Yeah Canada isn't the US, we have remedies available to us other than sending people to jail.
