You don't need to use CUDA for GPU programming, no? It's simply a lock-in. But I'm sure Nvidia was pushing it quite lot to make sure it's hard not to use it. But it clearly has to go. It's not healthy for the industry.
Arbitrary sanctions against Chinese companies (e.g. the war against Huawei) and seizures of Chinese assets (e.g. TikTok) are driven by a sizable faction in Washington DC that feels entitled to rule the planet uncontested. They would like to unwind the past 75 years of Chinese economic development, and push most of the Chinese population back into poverty, to make sure that an independent global power can never develop.
Thank you! You have a good point. I think I would agree with you if somebody already has cloud computing skills, then the cloud is much more powerful to learn deep learning than your own GPU.

I figured that most people that start with deep learning might also lack cloud computing skills. Learning one thing at a time is easier and as such, just sticking a GPU into your desktop and focus on deep learning software / programing might yield a better experience.

I might update my blog post in the future with this detail.

Yeah, I am early thirties, working in consulting, strong resume including faang member companies... and you will have to drag me back to an office screaming. I simply don't care enough about my career trajectory to have my entire lifestyle dictated by where my office happens to be.
You are welcome to your opinion, and to your own moral code.

Mine means I do have that obligation.

I suspect many share this aspect of my code, which boils down to "keep your commitments, both explicit and implicit."

Nobody hires a full-time employee expecting that they'll start slacking off once they get the basics of their job going smoothly, and I know that going in (as do most people).

Thus, if I plan to do that, I have to warn them up front that our expectations are likely not aligned.

If I don't want to have that obligation, then I can negotiate up front, or take on the risk of being a consultant or startup founder.

Thought experiment: ask yourself whether you'd hire someone advertising my work ethic or yours, if all other aspects are equal between the candidates.

Then ask yourself why you answered as you did, and which response the market will reward better in hiring.

My reason for this stance is my personal code of ethics, not pragmatism, but I think the pragmatic consideration may clarify my point.

"In this case, it sounds (from the official response) as if WD is trying to “dumb down” the specs so that generally less informed buyers can compare them easily and make the right choices"

Which is total bullshit, because what "less informed buyers" even read spec sheets? The spec sheet is for people that want detailed technical information. Info for the average consumer should be on the retail box and store descriptions.
yes there is a difference between erlang and the erlang abstract format but, given my limited understanding, for all intents and purposes erlang is equivalent to the abstract format (ie i can get one from the other). elixir does not stand on its own and it’s more like a thin veneer on top of erlang than a standalone language that targets the beam vm.

that being said, the powed of elixir comes from how easy it is to learn and use it, the macro expansions (which in my opinion is the killer feature and is not talked enough) and the seamless way it managed to leverage and enhance the erlang ecosystem.
You can also realistically learn Swift and then never have to write anything else again, until iOS stops being a career at least.

Thank you for the comment, I've edited mine to reflect the ambiguity.
The City of Albuquerque and APD have significantly invested in a variety of "data-based policing" methods, which range from intelligence sharing agreements like this one to the Real-Time Crime Center which is staffed by analysts with, for example, live access to a large network of city and privately owned surveillance cameras. Various administrations have touted these investments as a solution to the city's high crime levels, notoriously poor performance of APD (in terms of both crime reduction and compliance with a Department of Justice consent decree), and chronic understaffing of many area police organizations but especially APD.

There has, of course, been no real evidence of success. A promising change in local crime trends seems to be more a result of significant reform of the DA's office than anything APD has done. APD's main contribution to the effort has been harassing anyone who happens to be near downtown at night, including people who live and work there. That and shooting someone on occasion.

What is perhaps most surprising about these programs is how little attention they have received from the public. While APD's abuse of force and corruption problems are widely known and one of the area's foremost political issues, there is almost no discussion of APD's mass surveillance programs even among police abolition groups. It seems to reflect the general trend that mass surveillance is a much great topic of discussion in the tech community than outside of it.

All that said, my real comment is that this program seems unsurprising and of little import compared to the real-time crime center, its privacy implications, and ongoing internal problems including chronic high turnover and sudden dismissals (which tends to suggest problems that were not publicized), hiring a director with a history of internal affairs problems, etc. And then even that seems like a small matter in the context that APD has been under a department of justice consent decree resulting from a pattern of excessive force for six years now and has only just in the last few months finished making the policy changes required by DoJ, with the independent monitor reporting that compliance with those new policies is extremely poor.

I guess it's just hard to get too fired up about APD being run by major retailers when it's been clear for years that APD does not answer to the people, the city government, or the federal government. Being in the pocket of Target is downright wholesome compared to what we expect from APD.

Look on the bright side: APD has it together compared to BCSO. Sheriff Gonzales resisted implementation of body cameras for years until the state legislature took the matter into their own hands and mandated cameras for all law enforcement agencies. After a series of gaffs including Sheriff Gonzales announcing that he thought officers owning smart phones was sufficient to meet the mandate, the media has enjoyed discussing what will happen when they blow through the deadline and BCSO no longer meets statutory requirements to exercise law enforcement authority.
It's also true in many IBM mainframe computers for decades. Usually a lot of hardware is installed but disabled by software, an upgrade by a field technician is just the process of entering a license key. Same for many electronic test instruments, sometimes it's possible to "upgrade" the cheapest 100 MHz oscilloscope in a product line to the most expensive 500 MHz model [0] by an undocumented backdoor, EEPROM hacking, or a keygen. Extra features can also be unlocked. Interestingly, since the manufacturers' revenues come from selling to enterprise users under service contracts, they usually don't care about a hardware hackers or two on the web at all.

[0] Of course it's a possibility that the analog front-end and ADC is still binned for performance or populated with different components, so you need a bit luck here if you want matched performance.

This is amazing. I played this arcade game like 30 years ago that projected 3d video that you could control. But instead of generative, it was a bunch of little clips spliced together so you tap shoot and it plays the shoot clip. Had lots of awkward seams but it was still really impressive. Now we get the real thing.

Imagine you own and operate a train. You worry about brake pads. They are expensive and heavy and slowing the train to a halt wears them out.

Moon is your least favourite station. In order to let passengers off at Moon you have to come to a complete halt. The brakes get hot and wear out quickly.

Mars is a much better station to visit, at least for you. It’s surrounded by a mountain of soft airy pillows. You can just push the passengers out the door as you fling past, knowing they’ll hit the pillows and eventually come to a stop. It’s uncomfortable for them but it’s not terribly dangerous and you save a fortune on brake pads.

In fact, Moon and Mars are on two different branch lines of the railway. If you can contrive to only operate the branch line that serves Mars station, you don’t even need to bother fitting brakes to your train.
no, this has been a summer of fascism, wait til they see what happens in January when we do mass arrests of virtue signallers for funding domestic terrorism.
Most of the fertile land is in fact used by humans. And planting trees in remote areas is not good either: you need to cut them down and actually sequester the carbon if you want to do something about climate change. Just having stable forests is a far too small carbon sink (and the change in albedo from dark trees actually works against you in many areas of the world). Reforestation is good, but trees alone are not enough.

Gifs are trickier. I'll often see non-animated images in gif format. uBO doesn't have the power to block images based on file size. (The file size isn't even known until the start of the fetch)

Browsers' native functionality (if not deliberately crippled) and filtering proxies can definitely block animated GIFs while leaving static ones alone, by simply terminating the connection after the first frame.
In the video it was clearly preceded by "in Chinese". And he was talking the whole time about filler worlds. Clearly, context has been established. And the audience of a communications class at university level can be expected to understand that other languages contain words that might sound offensive to English native speakers. Do people really think Prof. Patton intended to insult people of color, in an online class? Are people really getting offended when Chinese use 那个, or when they overhear Russians discuss кни́ги? Will I get censored for merely mentioning these words and not child-proofing my post with "warning: words in this post might be considered offensive"?
To the commenter's point though, Swift is the relatively easy part. UIKit throws you into the deep end right away, it descends from AppKit from native Mac app development and doesn't try to progressively disclose complexity like SwiftUI.

Higher transfer rates, but also higher noise and power consumption (and presumably higher failure rates, but I'm less certain about that) - if you don't need the higher speed, 5400rpm drives are actually better.

One thing that's funny to me about this game is that it the classic "hello world" for the Elm architecture is a button that increments a number[1]. It's not hard to imagine that something like this could've started with that and just kept running with it.

Yes, just as Flash/ActionScript. At a time, we almost believed Flash Player was everyone on the Internet.
I haven't had the peers to know if I'm a strong coder, but the last time we filled a position, I'm certain none of the candidates was a strong coder. I tried to get each of them to just read a 200 line NON(!)obscure perl program, and no one seemed to make a serious effort. I'm a peer, not a manager, but I suspect we were trying to get a Bay area employee at Research Triangle Park prices.
He was teaching a communications class and was currently discussing filler worlds in various languages. Sounds completely on-topic to me.
The good thing about political systems you don't like is that you can stop it and go back to "normal" within a generation or two. Undoing climate change becomes essentially impossible once the permafrost starts melting. If the permafrost releases even 1% of its carbon per year, that effectively doubles GHG emissions. No realistic amount of fusion provides enough energy to suck that back out of the atmosphere.
Yeah, Art Bell played it very differently. I believe one day he even mentioned that he was actually quite a skeptic about all of this stuff.

In addition to loeg's point about timing, I'll add that BLAKE3 has its own internal tree structure. It would be unfortunate to have two tree structures layered on top of one another, both because it's "ugly" and because it won't do as good a job of parallelizing things. However, unifying the tree structures would be a big commitment. Every detail of the layout would need to be exactly as it is in BLAKE3. There wouldn't be any space for custom metadata on interior tree nodes, for example. I'm not familiar with the protocol details of BitTorrent myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if that unified approach turned out to be too limiting. (But for a file/tree project that does use the exact BLAKE3 structure, see github.com/oconnor663/bao.)
Yes, even during peak hours.

I’m an indie dev that wrote a useful Electron app for designing and printing labels (both rolls and sheets), data import, rendering batches of images, etc. My competition is either free (DYMO/Brother) or $500 commercial software for expensive printers.

So how do I price? For a year I had my price at $47.99 one-time and did OK. A month ago I segmented my licenses/users into Personal (same price of $47.99) and Business ($147.99) licenses. Business license has the ability to print barcodes. Revenue increased w a slight decrease of units sold.

Then last week I launched a Business subscription at $14.99/month. Everyone is still buying the one-time licenses. I don’t blame them... I generally avoid subscriptions.

Soon I’ll be releasing a Shopify app/integration and I’m really curious how that user group will respond. As far as I know, merchants are already used to monthly costs so it just becomes the cost of operating their store.

Rolling hashing is really only useful for finding nonaligned duplicates.

There isn't a way to advertise some "rolling hash value" in a way that allows other people with a differently-aligned copy to notice that you and them have some duplicated byte ranges.

Rolling hashes only work when one person (or two people engaged in a conversation, like rsync) already has both copies.

As other's have mentioned, it was Art Bell with Coast to Coast.

If anyone really enjoyed that stuff, and enjoy video games, the 2006 version of Prey has Art Bell doing his show in the game. You can find snippets of his radio show with people talking about all the weird lights and alien craft and stuff that they are seeing in the "real" world of the game. It was a really nice touch.

That's not (necessarily) due physical vs digital though. One is you asking about something you find interesting and the other is someone telling you about something they find interesting.
Yeah that's quite an interesting take. This is the first time I've seen someone come into programming with their first real learned language being Rust. I'll be awesome to see more of this in the future. It gives me encouragement to properly learn Rust as well (my problem with learning languages is that I never actually want to write anything in any language so I can't actually learn the language without finding a use for it).

I don’t understand what’s the problem with auto-playing muted video.

Facebook and Twitter have been doing it in their apps. The mobile apps are more popular than the web pages. The exodus to native apps has already been happening. The web has evolved from the days of static text content, like it or hate it, if you stop the progress, the web will die.

And really, some suggestions don’t make sense. Stopping the auto-playing of GIFs? That’s the whole point of GIFs, and you’re 15 years too late.
