Getting programming jobs by June will be incredibly difficult. All the entry-level and intermediate jobs will be accomplished via a $1000/month subscription to claude code. Every subscription will replace 10 full-time jobs.
Many companies will go under. There will be no jobs. Only FAGMAN will be "safe". Most FAGMAN employees will either quit voluntarily or fight dirty to not get fired.
Programming Jobs and Software jobs are KAPUT in six months. You have been warned.

>Excellent keyboards, tactile feel and quiet + the TrackPoint
>Great durability: magnesium roll cage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models

Is there a language barrier or a reading comprehension issue here?

I've been using the term "footprint" because besides weight that's what dictates 'portability'. Screen size is only a heuristic. Yes, Lenovo isn't making 12" form factor Thinkpads anymore with their big suitcase handle nigger lip bezels around the screen like they did in 2012. But since then they are making 13" laptops with bezels skinnier than [insert your 2d waifu]'s slit that are, dimensionally, almost the exact same L x W and invariably shorter in H, and weigh less (muh thin).

One of the many mods for the X230 was a 13" 16:10 screen. It fits in the lid. A 13" screen contained within the same footprint on your desk, or in your bag.

Observe, niggers:

>X220:
305 × 206.5 × 19.0–26.6 mm
(12.01 × 8.13 × 0.75–1.05 in)

On CRT TVs it does basically like like 60 FPS.
The scanlines are quite fat.
But on the downside this makes 480i pretty flickery.
>>
>>107747347
I know the smoothness comes from being 60 fields per second, but yadif 2x is also including interpolated information in the image. 50% of each frame is interpolated from the preceding and sequential frames. So this could result in a slightly artificial looking image compared to watching the naive interlaced video on the original intended medium.

>>107747485
>some shows were converted to 60i.
Yes, shows shot in film, as you said.
>Any normal TV game shows, soap operas, news, commercials were 60 frames per second.
Not frames. It was FIELDS per second. This is the key difference that this entire thread rests upon.

A field is not a frame. Two fields do not make one frame!
>>
>>107747591
>But on the downside this makes 480i pretty flickery.
This really only shows up on graphics that are one line thick, causing them to flicker.

For television programs it's very rare to perceive flicker, although I have seen the occasional artifact. I recall seeing some guy in a suit wearing a black and white striped tie that played havoc with the TV cameras.

It can sync up to 2048x1536p at 60hz.

Problem: If a user accidentally double clicks something instead of single clicks it it will trigger a task multiple times which have annoying side effects.

Subproblem: I'm too lazy to address this issue in a responsible way.

Solution: Do the task on the UI thread so the program freezes after the first click and there's a built in ~3 second cooldown before the task can be triggered again.

What's the fastest malloc implementation I can use on Windows for a single-threaded application? I might need separate heaps for fixed size objects. I'm also interested in what the state-of-the-art multi-threaded allocator is for Windows, but I don't have a usecase for it yet. I can't use arenas, I need to be able to free memory and have it reclaimed for later allocations. Rolling my own might be necessary but I would rather try a library first.

>>107734724
I implemented context pruning. For child pruning, the idea is to throw out higher order context if it's unlikely to be used. For parent pruning, the idea is that if we're unlikely to use the lower order statistics (of the parent), we can just throw them out and keep the higher order statistics (the children). Throwing out the lower order statistics may not be ideal, but given my update function, the model almost always prefers to use higher order statistics (this makes sense, realistically higher order statistics will be more accurate unless you have something like abc[random character]abc[random character]) so there's very little child pruning. Parent pruning does happen, but it means that during sampling you can end up in a state where you have no higher-order context (because that token sequence wasn't in the training data) and no lower-order context (because it was pruned), so you have to fallback to even lower-order context statistics, which should be less accurate. There's also some overhead since I need to have a pointer to the token/firing statistics vs. having it in the context allocation.

Pic related has a few examples of the effects of pruning. Even at a 0.4 threshold it's not that bad, which is surprising since that means an event with 40% probability could be getting discarded entirely, and would fall back to lower order statistics. The memory saving is underwhelming, but it could be more useful with more training data. It also makes training slower.
