This is useful information, but it would even more useful if it was mention which CPUs were used - knowing how long something took with 12 CPUs without knowing their model, cannot be used to guess how long it would take with any other CPU(s). It is also not clear if cores were confused with CPUs - 12 CPUs with many cores each or a single 12-core CPU is a very big difference.

By the way, according to this it is possible to minimize VRAM and RAM usage significantly: https://github.com/arrmansa/Basic-UI-for-GPT-J-6B-with-low-v... ("a repository to run GPT-J-6B on low vram systems by using both ram, vram and pinned memory"):

I did not tried this myself yet, but here are their results on two different systems:

System 1: 16 gb ddr4 ram . 1070 8gb gpu.
23 blocks on ram (ram_blocks = 23) out of which 18 are on shared/pinned memory (max_shared_ram_blocks = 18).
timing - single run of the model(inputs) takes 6.5 seconds.
35 seconds to generate 25 tokens at 2000 context. (1.4 seconds/token)

System 2: 16 gb ddr4 ram . 1060 6gb gpu.
26 blocks on ram (ram_blocks = 26) out of which 18 are on shared/pinned memory (max_shared_ram_blocks = 18).
timing - 40 seconds to generate 25 tokens at 2000 context. (1.6 seconds/token)
There's hundreds of bots, and thousands of users who trigger them. You can't possibly block everyone typing /u/SaveVideo, or responding "Good bot/Bad bot" in the comments.

Reddit's tools are not up to the task.

Please don't follow this advice if you are in any kind of IT support role. It may make sense for developers who need large blocks of uninterrupted focus time, but even then the issue to resolve is working with team members on best practices for interrupting developers.

Doing nothing is akin to saying my time is more valuable than yours, you silly plebian. It's the sort of attitude that reinforces the unfortunate stereotype that IT people are arrogant and view their expertise and role as more important than others'.

I found great success providing IT support by always responding immediately when I'm available, and establishing focus times where others know I may not respond right away. An attitude of service and humility can go a long way in winning the respect and trust of your colleagues and supervisors.
Nice page, quite generic. My experience is that in practice such frameworks do not help much.
It's mandatory in Germany in the sense that employees are entitled to it, but they don't have to take it. The time off is paid by the state (in proportion to the previous year's salary and bonuses) not the employer.

However because sexism is more complicated than just lack of equal access, parental leave is still mostly taken by women and women still find it harder to get back into regular employment after extended periods of maternity leave.

I know several mothers who planned to have children and go on maternity leave and because of this accepted jobs that pay the bills but aren't places they enjoy working and now face the prospect of having to go back to a job they hate or have a second or third child (only to then have to either go back to a job they not only hate but also haven't done in years or find a new job with a multi-year gap in their resumé).

For this to really change will likely take generations because the behavior and the social expectation of that behavior are mutually reinforcing.

Don’t let the negative comments about browser compatibility get you down. These are perfectly reasonable issues, and it’s really hard making something this full featured fully cross-compatible.

While ideally there are graceful degradations for challenging browser feature situations, prioritizing getting this out into the world is fine, and the hacker news audience is definitely not representative.

You are getting the blame for the general situation of uneven advanced browser feature implementations, when that should be constructively turned elsewhere.
Ask HN: I bought a laptop with a glossy screen and now I'm regretting it
I have a Lenovo laptop with 14'' screen. Amazing laptop, amazing quality etc. However, it has a glossy screen and it really sucks when I am in a well-lit environment. What could I do?
> “Eight hours of hoeing for a twenty kilometer drive will ensure that it will be the best twenty kilometers of your life.”

True, and highly disruptive of orthodox economic theory which posits the primacy of convenience.
This is a truly massive fine by any measure.

First of all you’re looking at global revenue and not just France, which can’t be more than 10%. Second you’re looking at revenue from all sources, and here we’re taking about links just to news sites, which again can’t be more than 10%. So two orders of magnitude at least is $181 billion -> $1.81 billion.

A $500 million fine is likely on the order of 1/3rd of the total annual revenue generated in that market.
Hey HN, op here, this is my first ever blog post. I'm sorry if my english is bad, its not my native language, but I tried my best to explain about the emulation for ben eater's 8 bit breadboard computer. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Yeah. Facebook locking down their stuff earlier than that and then again when they had the perfect excuse because of HN and the media’s relentless attacking of FB for Cambridge Analytica, were both huge blows to any remaining optimism I had. The latter is even worse because Facebook limited their data and APIs which made the app worse...by doing exactly what people on HN and similar places perportedly wanted. There’s no winning.

The Twitter fiasco was indeed a shit show. I remember being on HN once a week or so during that time but was on daily for a few weeks during that time.

I believe the alternative Twitter app for $50/year came out around that time as well before failing.
Yes but was it able to share selfie and video ?
Yeah, my wife scrolls /r/all, expands posts (some of them text posts), and closes them, possibly clicking into the comments to discuss.

If, at any point, she accidentally follows a link, it really pisses her off

It's nice to have videos, images, and short articles in a familiar layout

I know I'm much more likely to click a recipe link if it's a self-post, because recipes on non-reddit websites always seem to be gated behind multiple auto playing videos and the author's entire life story

You speak as if a goat is a goat, a cow is a cow, a pig is a pig, a calorie is a calorie, and a protein is a protein. No. The world is much more nuanced than that. Ruminants are thee biggest factor is driving soil-building as part of regenerative agriculture. Goats are by far (in my experience) the quickest way to rebuild parched top soil, or just build soil in a place that badly needs it (say run-through dirt that won't even grow lentils).
I wonder this too - I guess enough software engineering teams had similar problems with no solutions and each set about building their own? Not sure how else this proliferation happened.

except that placement in magnet schools and similar programs has been proven to have nothing to do with student intelligence or ability-- its parental lobbying and teacher bias.
What is suspiciously absent from this opinion piece, is what exactly the changes are to the TJ admissions process. Previously, acceptance was blind to what school a student was applying *from*, so 1/2 or more of the students came from 5/25 middle schools. The new model takes geography into account. Additionally, only 2-3% of TJ students were in the FARMS program, in a school system where over 30% of the total population is in FARMS. Tell me how parents are equipped to navigate the insanity of trying to get their kids into a magnet program when they are at less than 130% of the poverty line? The starting line for admission for kids in Fairfax county is widely variable and nearly all of the factors that influence that are out of their control. The changes to the admissions process aren't about race-- they are about class and social status. These Coalition for TJ nimbys and the goons like McGurn who perpetuate these class divisions are twisting the facts to fit their narrative and victim complex.
Inflation climbs higher than expected in June as price index rises 5.4%
Absolutely agree. People need to understand that abuse works well. And so, if it's forbidden in a hard rule that everyone obeys, those who don't obey come out ahead. Sometimes so much that competition is nigh possible without playing the same game.
I’m curious how they “seized” the units of cryptocurrency here.

The cypherpunk trope is they either hacked their targets’ wallet with hither-untold mathematics or they used rubber-hose cryptography…

The idea of a Bitcoin nerd being forced by a court to transfer BTC via Bitcoin.exe amuses me - but that doesn’t sit right with me for some reason…

Can RES change comment counts? E.g. I see "post title, 1 comment", click to see what someone said but it's a bot. Blocking (ignoring?) the bot on reddit doesn't change the "1 comment" part.
Thanks!! The naming is so confusing... How are we supposed to know that "115ES" and "991ES" are in fact the same thing?
That is exactly my point - it is common knowledge that there are risks.

By saying "everybody is wrong but I found this one guy who is right" parent is well down the road towards conspiracy theory.

Apollo, one of the best mobile clients for Reddit (highlighted by Apple in the App Store), allows direct download of media from Reddit.

If Reddit forces this, I assume browser extensions are the next step that they can’t mitigate. If the browser needs to play it, it can be ripped.
All Basic Data Types in Go
As someone who doesn't have kids is it immature for me to wonder why I don't get some time off for not procreating? The world and its collapsing ecosystems don't need more people, and I feel like I have to spend extra time of my youth paying for other peoples' choices to have kids. Where is my non-paternity leave?
I had an Econ teacher that did something similar but it was a note card. Thing was she reused the same bank of questions every semester and provided a study packet of sample questions that was a super set of the questions on the final. Some kids got wind of this and encoded the answers to the study packet on the index card. They were bizarrely accused of cheating.
Scientists can be excellent communicators. It seems unlikely that any serious journal would hire editors that were not able to write clearly.
Building Aggregates in Elixir and PostgreSQL
To me, the whole point of a download is that I can preserve access. There's not a "download" link on video posts - "save" just bookmarks it to your internal Reddit bookmarks. If the post gets deleted, you still lose access.

Given that context, I think it's pretty neat that new functionality can be introduced to the site via bots. Unlike a browser extension, this automatically works on Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Edge with no extra development time; and it's significantly more discoverable since you'll see the comments.

If you don't like the feature, you can block that bot with a button click and never see that particular bot again. I use Reddit regularly and block maybe one bot a month?

I'm not a big fan of the grammar bots and such, but "save video" and "remind me" seem like genuinely useful features.

For me, reST had the big issue of not being as quick to type as markdown. It's a better standard, that's true, and especially the table features are A LOT more useful than MD, but I've always felt a lot more mental resistance and less compatible tooling. I basically picked up MD on the side (on SO and GitHub), but reST I would have to learn.
first of all it's a regular experience where somebody tripping is convinced s/he's acting weird just be assured that they seem completely inconspicuous for an observer.

I’m not a Dean Karnazes fan but this is something I did take away from his book. Just leave your house in the morning with a bottle of water, some snacks, your phone, and a credit card and just keep going.

You’ll be surprised how much ground you can cover and what a new perspective you’ll gain about the place you live. Buy more snacks and drinks when you get hungry. When you get tired either turn around or Uber home.

There’s something very empowering to me about being able to cover a long distance under my own power.
It is bad if you have to do extra steps for non-annoying UX. Non-annoying UX should be the default and annoying stuff should be opt-in.

Reddit is such a disaster nowadays, especially with the "new" design, it's just a matter of time until it will get disrupted.
Tbh I would be more excited about that headline.
This reminds me of the Stålfarfar:

>In 1951, at 66 years of age, Håkansson participated out-of-competition in the 1764 kilometer bicycle tour Sverigeloppet from Haparanda to Ystad. Because of his advanced age, the organizers had refused to allow him to participate. The maximum age for race participants was 40 years, but nevertheless he started from Haparanda, formally not among the contestants but starting one minute after the last of them had set off and wearing a shirt on which he had written a big zero as his number tag. The Tour was run in stages, and while the contestants slept, Håkansson would pedal up to three days without sleeping. During the contest, he was presented as "Stålfarfar", a name that had followed him since the late 1940s. He kept a long flowing white beard that made him look even older, and the organizers were afraid people would laugh at the race participants. Many newspapers were covering his story, and he became famous as the nation followed his journey through the country. [3]

During a few hours off in Söderhamn the police asked him to take a medical exam, which showed that Hakansson was in good health. After 6 days, 14 hours and 20 minutes, he arrived in Ystad - 24 hours before the contestants. There was a parade with a marching band, fire brigades and Håkansson seated on the shoulders of younger men. The next day he had an audience with King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden.

5. When unvaccinated people end up in the hospital, hospitals get stressed to their limits. This results in fewer beds for me and my family if we end up in a hospital for a different reason. This is also causing job burnout for nurses and doctors.

Steve Jobs, when presenting a new range of Mac laptops once gushed something like... "and you should see what we've done with the screen.... amazing retina display... astounding resolution.... and it's glossy". Biggest turn-off right there at the end.

When I'm using it on my lap on a plane or coach, the last thing I want to see is my shirt and tie. Of course, Jobs' trademark St Croix turtleneck was black, so he probably never realised it.

It seems that junior developers are considered to be of relatively little value in most UK based jobs. The disparity seems to even out a bit as you gain experience, especially if willing to freelance, but it's not uncommon to see junior positions being treated like minimum wage jobs.

Is there simply more opportunity in the US or is this a matter of how inexperienced people are viewed? Perhaps there is more holdover from traditional professions where experience was paramount.
I suspect not. With Typescript even with strict typing, mutating state is still possible (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong..). This adds an extra layer of complexity to the refactoring process.

With Elm, mutation is impossible - everything goes through the update loop. There are no escape hatches. This does mean you have to jump through a number of hoops to use FFI. It can be a pain at times, but does make for much easier refactoring.

Injuries though, don't disregard them ... Cycling's a lot easier on the joints I guess.
there's definitely something to that approach. maybe not "do nothing" but "do little". I observed many times that doing less is even preferrable. it helps staying out of trouble. instead everyday you do just as much that you can refer to it - most of the times nobody seems to care about how "much" that actually contributed. as long as you can say I worked on X during your slot in the daily. beyond that learn from George Costanza how to seem busy - ask questions, complain about something, have a little meeting about every other day. especially the latter helps you appear as a committed teamplayer. doing more usually just increases risk of being blamed for something and attracts more work due to having to fix your own stuff in stressful and observed situations.
430+ repos here, corporate setting, its not great but we use some custom scripts (validate users, groups, which repos are allowed to be public), strict documentation, and quarterly auditing. We have a lot of strict requirements around branch protections and the API for branch protections leaves a lot to be desired.

We've found that setting up new repos in a strictly documented manner has been the best way to approach it, we also have some github actions that run periodically to run some sanity checks across repos.

We're a terraform shop but we had countless issues with the terraform-github-provider but, maybe its improved the last year or so.

Also, Github has no "protections" around tagging, this really hurts us as we want to move to tags and releases for versioning but don't have a way to require multiple approvals before cutting an artifact that can be promoted so we have to wrap some customization and processes around it.

It's important to keep in mind that major tech companies also sometimes offer medical services like "freezing egg cells" which literally serve them no other purpose than encouraging women to delay family planning and spend more of their young adult life working for them.

Google doesn't want you to leave for two to three years to raise your kids. Google wants you (as a woman) to work yourself to the bone into your 30s and then either drop out over reduced performance from a burnout or take your family leave and leave the industry forever. Or alternatively, not to take your leave and instead use the free child care to maintain the illusion that you still get a fulfilling family life while living for the company.
So far, Amazon have been good about accepting PRs from volunteers (I can only vouch for the OpenSearch project) and have committed to moving to a more open source model with active maintainers from other organisations. It's early days but it looks healthy so far.

Exactly.

And in either scenario, responding "bit busy, will check in 30 mins" both allows short lived transient problems to fix themselves, and lets the sender know that yes you got their message and that you can not look at it now but you are not ignoring it either.
A very common example of self-excusing based in situation is the modern phrasing "I was just in an angry place." Rather than "I was angry" - it wasn't me or about my level of self control. It was just the place I was in.
Thanks for these ideas. I think the right to repair is going to get a lot of traction right now with the new executive order—or at least I hope so. The robotics for weeding are definitely interesting too. In terms of reporting on problems or potential solutions, this project is “solutions journalism,” which means rigorous reporting on responses to a problem. The problem part is built in as you look at the how well (or not) the response is working.
>and you know on the scale of BP pouring millions of oil into the ocean, I reckon what this guy is doing is absoloutley fine and the environmental damage is well within range of what the local environment can cope with and recover from within a reasonably small time frame.

But BP serves millions of customers. If you normalize by that (ie. pollution divided by customers), my guess is that digging up ponds is more environmentally damaging than buying gas at the gas station.
