I wonder if there is something like this but open-source, so I could customize this. I'm looking for a tool to solve UWB positioning (for indoor navigation) - to be able to know where to optimally place various UWB anchor points.
That's on the companies for structuring their interviews like that. Actual technological competence is not measured, only skill in algorithms and data structures, 75% irrelevant for the job..
Impressive! I'm wondering if something like this is possible with other models, because of Gemini's extremely large context length certainly helping a lot with parsing such large documents.
I'll add another analogy of my own: "guy harvests his own ice, is mad at others for buying it from the store"
He is mad at others using AI on his favorite blogging website. I think it is an insult to himself, because most AI produced articles etc. are unreadable and full of useless filler information - I think the guy can do better.
Ex Shazam tech here. The signatures that the Shazam app sends are very small, so bandwith costs should be minimal. Of course, I speaking about the technology of my day 2001+, so times may have changed
Some phone plans like Google Fi will give you a data only sim card for free. It ends up being totally free as long as you have unlimited data plans. I use my old phone and a data only sim card for random projects.
I did some measurements on shazam and it seems to send about 7kb/minute, which corresponds to 300MB/month, i.e. no big deal. I suppose it helps that shazam was designed in the age of expensive bandwidth.
I've learned when setting up a family plan that depending on how many devices you already have (my wife and I each had 1 phone and 1 apple watch) we could get an extra line with unlimited data for functionally nothing. (The sim's sitting in my dashcam right now, been silently plugging away for months)
I like this! I always carry a screwdriver and various kinds of cables (along with my laptop) to school/work. Makes me think I should actually make a tiny toolkit out of it!
Not only that, but also hating on memory safety (for no reason at all) is just dumb. Most of his software is just simple projects, except maybe this, it's definitely not something I'd use in my day to day life.
My opinion on him is the same as my opinion on Terry Davis (if he would contribute to Linux (or other FOSS projects, instead of making his own useless TempleOS), he would leave a way better legacy)
I agree with your sentiment - and I apologize, I've since revised my comment.
Hating on memory safety as a concept is pretty cognitively dissonant for a programmer (and in this case [& many others], cognitive dissonance is a sign of some underlying mental illness). Memory safety is something a programmer should strive to achieve 100%.
Not only that, but static typing is absolutely unrelated to memory safety. (How can you even compare these two concepts???)
Depends on the use case, while you care about it when writing software for use on modern systems, low level programming on something where you can have unrestricted access to, for example, all of its 1024 bytes of address space at once can be fun too
But of course appreciating this doesn't equal "hating memory safety"
He's conflating memory safety with languages that provide memory safety (by which I think he means Rust, as that's another thing listed in his "disliked" things list) - that's what I feel is the dumbest about this. For me, this seems like the most of his code is riddled with use-after-free, double-free, not freeing etc. bugs. He may be intelligent, but if his intelligence goes to no use (besides making random C side projects..), it is not worth it. Also he claims he was a member of Mensa, no comment on that one.
This isn't at all kindness. This guy's perception of kindness (and love, etc.) is extremely flawed. He doesn't have to worry about other people because he is mentally ill. I'd have to read up on it more to figure out the exact kind, but this seems something in the region of BPD or schizophrenia. It's very possible that it's multiple diagnoses.
How is the hypothetical person's nationality in any way relevant? Oh, yes, it's relevant, because the Western society hates racists, so if he is something the society doesn't want, then he must be mentally ill!
No. This guy is actually mentally ill. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that it's some kind of BPD and I think a psychologist could analyze this better than me, a layman.
I implore you all to read the coder's website, http://www.tastyfish.cz
This is one of the craziest rabbit holes I've been through. That being said, the guy sure can code, but judging by the website and its content, he can't AT ALL function in a normal society. His "wiki" is a cesspool of cognitive dissonance. I don't even think flat earthers or other anti-system people have that much cognitive dissonance going on. In short - this guy is as if someone took the worst opinions from a left-wing person and the worst opinions from a right-wing person. I hope he can get treated for whatever condition he has and live normally. I feel sorry for him.
Yeah, I'll just throw this here seeing as the other main thread on here is so long - his website _is_ wild, and I'm not prepared or willing to go through and figure out where all we agree and disagree. BUT, the linked library is public domain, and the dude's website specifically says he's against forced attribution [0], so one should feel completely free to use the library and his other projects without even mentioning the author.
Indeed, if you scroll down to his "Fun facts about me" section you'll realize the whole webpage is a cry for help.
Examples:
> I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me. I can't even buy a prostitute no matter how much I would pay.
> I am suffering from anxiety and depressions (diagnosed AvPD).
> I am impossible to be loved romantically and futhermore I get extremely repulsive to anyone I fall in love with, therefore I am largely scared of falling in love.
My point exactly! (Well not only being afraid of them, but also being a fan of them being objectified and generally being treated as less..)
In his case, being (mostly) straight (taken from his website) means being doomed from ever having a partner - if he dislikes the gender he's attracted the most to.
