aerioux··on Practical Foundations of Mathematics
For folks looking - The pdf you can find/buy has the math correctly rendered

aerioux··on Searchcode.com’s SQLite database is probably 6 terabytes bigger than yours
nit: this code snippet has a typo (dbWrite wasn't defined)

``` dbRead, _ := connectSqliteDb("dbname.db") defer dbRead.Close() dbRead.SetMaxOpenConns(runtime.NumCPU())

dbRead, _ := connectSqliteDb("dbname.db") defer dbWrite.Close() dbWrite.SetMaxOpenConns(1)

```

aerioux··on Engineer eats efficiently for $2.50 a day (2016)
Ah 2015 .... I was wondering where on earth he was finding chicken thighs for $0.88/lb
aerioux··on MicroMac, a Macintosh for under £5
mirror as it looks like the blog is getting overloaded: https://archive.ph/NXWOm
aerioux··on Show HN: 80% faster, 50% less memory, 0% loss of accuracy Llama finetuning
If this technology is generalizable to more LLM architectures, y'all can start messaging venture capitalists with a demo and they can help on the rest (pricing models, customers, etc).
aerioux··on Every engineer should do a stint in consulting
different teams are very different but I also can say McK Analytics was +10 -- lots of invested and interesting people.

Though I do see that only 1/6 of my interview panel is still there 4 years later?

aerioux··on On the destruction of America’s best high school
TJ Grad from '14. The school when i entered was mostly white kids + indians/east asians who spend a lot of time studying.
aerioux··on Launch HN: Daybreak Health (YC S20) – Online counseling designed for teens
Integration with medical systems would be amazing; my friends at top tier universities (e.g. Berkeley) want mental care but aren't sure if it's covered

from my experience there has been a constant refrain about CAPS (Counseling and Psych - usually called CAPS in school systems) departments everywhere being

1) hard to access 2) underfunded 3) unresponsive

super excited for this product :)

aerioux··on Triplebyte leaking PII
I don't understand how we can continually leak PII in the era of GDPR
aerioux··on Ask HN: I'm an incoming freshman to college for a CS major, what should I know?
Which college if I may ask :) - I'm sure we have alumni here
aerioux··on Tell HN: Interviewed with Triplebyte? Your profile is about to become public
1/2 of the triplebyte recruiters that reach out to me don't even reply
aerioux··on Shopify is giving its employees $1k to furnish their work-from-home setups
oo if i may ask -- where?
aerioux··on Show HN: I am a high school student and I did research on 3D adversarial attacks
Stupid q: how is this different than all of the other neural network adversarial attack papers that have come out recently?

Why would 3d not be a subcase of that work?

aerioux··on IBM introduces z15 mainframe
there's still quite a bit of different on the interconnect side + replaceability side
aerioux··on IBM introduces z15 mainframe
not a typo; when you design for the typical x86 cluster it's a cluster - you expect components to die and you can throw away whole machines (i.e. expect failure). mainframes on the other hand keep chugging along no matter what.

the usual comparison is a cluster of cheap nodes vs a mainframe

aerioux··on Streaming Cassandra at WePay
While that may be the case, this is not how Kafka is used within LI.
aerioux··on Ask HN: Sources of remote dev work with minimal human interaction?
+1 ^ or if you (as you have here) have identified this as a important point, find a manager who agrees and work with them.

I have had the good luck to work for managers who handle the bureaucracy and I talk to other devs as needed and submit code

aerioux··on Composing Programs in Python, SICP Style
perhaps occluded since this is focused on introductory computer science students?
aerioux··on Composing Programs in Python, SICP Style
no background needed
aerioux··on Carnegie Mellon Launches Undergraduate Degree in Artificial Intelligence
So in CMU it's quite easy to get into grad classes and you can start doing it as a freshman - there are generally a number of juniors+ in masters/phd classes
aerioux··on Stephen Hawking has died
RIP one of the greatest physicists in human history
aerioux··on CMU 15-721 Advanced Database Systems [video]
+1 Pavlo is wonderful (in person as well)
aerioux··on How to test a random number generator (2010)
2/10 would not recommend for technical merit.

8/10 is nice if you want a handwavy human explanation of some rudimentary expectations in crypto

- author spends a few pages thinking about randomness - we have formal definitions of a RNG/PRNG.

- author does basic statistical tests, these seem very unconcerned with actual randomness - i'm not sure what the point is

- author really shouldn't be writing about crypto randomness if they don't do crypto

+1 to higher comment saying reading TAOCP instead.

aerioux··on How Wi-Fi Works
I think he means people-who-work-with-routers basics :)
aerioux··on Do Grades Matter? A Discussion About Thinking Bigger While at CMU (2016) [pdf]
hehe hi :^) isn't this the slide show kayvon showed us at the research symposium?
aerioux··on Immortal – A cross-platform, OS-agnostic supervisor for Unix-like platforms
Is there more comprehensive docs anywhere? I want to know what options to pass, and more detailed descriptions of what things do. The initial docs page looks like but after clicking through it seems like they all link to each other... so in summary I cant find anything I want :/

That currently would be the primary barrier to usage -- the docs arent very helpful.

aerioux··on Ask HN: Underemployed and anxious. What would you do?
thank you for one of the most positive and helpful posts I've read on HN
aerioux··on Teach Yourself Computer Science
Ah interesting :)

You may be interested to know that (1) is still required, even for CFA people

aerioux··on Teach Yourself Computer Science
Do you have suggestions for PL reading lists? I nearly never see PL mentioned on them, and have been looking for alternatives for some time as PFPL offers one approach + style to many of the problems they address, but I would love a broader survey.

Thanks!

aerioux··on Teach Yourself Computer Science
It's more about relational algebra rather than implementation (at least when I took it)
