This is on macOS, using the macOS kernel driver with the mesa open source userspace (i.e. not Metal) that Alyssa is working on.

It means that right now there is no GPU support on Linux, but once the kernel driver (which is simpler than the userspace part) is written, things will go from nothing to likely able to run a full accelerated desktop in days, since the bulk of the userspace work will already be done.

I'm working on the display controller driver first (since it is arguably more complex in interface, but shares concepts, and is also a dependency for "real" GPU acceleration since you need things like vsync/page flipping to do it properly), and once that's able to at least do basic screen bring-up, I'll tackle the GPU side.
NBC's coverage is especially bad if you compare it to coverage from other countries. NBC mostly focuses on sports where the US will do well, so if you care about a sport in which the US doesn't have a strong foothold then you're out of luck. Last Olympics I thought maybe they could treat this as back catalogue content that you could watch online, but I could only find heavily edited highlights. And they not only fill the feed with tons of commercials, but they also add little features about certain athletes' journey to the Olympics or some other thing that take time away from watching something else.

It's bewildering that they make it so hard to watch the event, the coverage is bad, and then they bemoan the fact that viewership is at an all time low.
People wrongly assume that colonisation effectively ended after the 2nd world wars.

The truth is it is difficult to wean away governments & companies used to milking the colonies dry to give up so easily. Not to mention the many institutions including religious & media designed to aid this exploitation.

As much as the blame might be place on Nigeria, it is not to be ignored that a lot of power and influence is still held by the English speaking elite who are inturn in the grips of the colonial institutions and their masters.

In my own country of India, any attempt to decolonise is labeled "right wing nationalist".

None of us were happy to wear a tie to school when the temperature goes upto 45 degrees, this colonial brainwashing has to go for the people to become really free.
I'd prefer 1, as it allows each machine to easily and quickly restore itself directly from a local backup. This way the ZFS and rsync.net backup components are only used incase of catastrophic failure.
If I had a BLAKE3 implementation available in the programming language of choice, is there any reason to still prefer the SHA family over it (for integrity checks, not for password hashing, as mentioned in the readme)?
Wait, got any source to back up the claim that those environmental organizations are corrupt fronts for business interests?
I work within this space in terms of performing the actual assessments / audits. It varies based on underwriting insurance provider. Some require compliance with certain standards (e.g., NIST CSF, PCI/DSS, etc.) and evidence of said implementation of security controls (e.g., via an independent third-party assessment).

I've even begun seeing a trend towards tying coverage to use of continuous monitoring platforms, which I see becoming the norm within the next couple of years.

Basically, not only will they want to see where you are at before the policy is underwritten, they also will expect you maintain compliance and they can verify that compliance via CM.

In my opinion, use of CM would actually benefit the customer more than anything, as these policies are written in such a way I am skeptical they'll ever pay out (e.g., 100% compliance with something like NIST CSF is a pipe dream; you will always have some level of implementation snafus and oversights/negligence).
>here are other places farms can be other than a desert.

Where?

You act like these farms are just there because they like wasting water. Someone is buying the product or they wouldn't exist.

If you want a modern lifestyle deal with it. Deserts are going to have to be used for growing stuff.
The Tesla story is widely exaggerated. So far they have gotten basically every approval they asked for quite quickly. Local politics is quite supportive of the project, because it brings a lot of jobs in an industrial-weak region. It is also not clear that the project has actually suffered any significant delays beyond some of the time plans being overly optimistic.
There has been some attempts to block this project from some environmental groups and some groups posing as environmental, but their their injunctions have been quickly cast away by the courts. It is also not clear to which extend Tesla changing their plans in flight have created some delays. As the system works, some of the plan changes do reset the approval process to some extend.

While the original plan seemed to aim for starting production without a local battery plant this summer, there is no sign of starting production yet. On the other side, they already started to build a giant concrete foundation for what looks like a battery plant, this might come much earlier as initially planned. And this proceeds, like most other parts of the factory, at a very quick speed.

Germany has strict environmental regulations, but most places in the world have those by now. As long as you plan to fulfill the regulations, there should be no reason not to build in Germany.

> And shouldn't the senior members of a team or managers explain to novices the importance of meeting such milestones that you mentioned?

I basically read the whole list as: "How do be successful? Step 1: Be successful. Step 2: Be successful at purple. etc"

Some of it sort of makes sense. Some of it might as well be gibberish. None of it is useful without a bunch of senior members of a team who have been successful before. And if that's the case, then we can just delete the list and stick with the senior members of the team.
I've been in such traffic and the only issue is TACC's 1-2 car spacing allows more people in to my lane than I usually allow, but otherwise it does fine. Tesla's TACC (compared to Honda) is even better in this sense since it often accelerates at the same time as the car in front of it, while Honda's will wait for a 1 car gap to continue driving on its own.

That depends on how wealthy you need to be to not care. If only billionaires can ignore the costs, then there will be plenty of demand for transit (or more likely to get rid of the fees...). While if the fee is so low most people choose to just pay it, then it won't make a difference.

Of course the people who most need to ignore it are those like plumbers who have a job that can't be done via transit.
I would submit a small rule for almost all foreign names and words, or at the very least European and Middle Eastern ones: The letter "e" is almost never pronounced like "bee."

Though I shouldn't be, I am continually surprised by this Anglophone quirk. Just yesterday I was at a book club after we had all read the book "Piranesi," and without failure every American pronounced it "Piranisi." There are two different vowels there, i and e. Most languages besides English have the expectation that different letters are pronounced differently. I know English is weird in this regard.

My rule of thumb: if it's a foreign word and it has the letter "e," default to "eh" and you'll be close 90% of the time.
The key to congestion pricing is to simultaneously increase your alternatives.

If you're not killing off public parking, improving bus & bike lanes, or generally improving mobility citywide then you're just dinging drivers who have no choice.

The goal of a congestion tax is to reduce congestion. That doesn't work if there's no other option.
> It seems these gaming companies hire the worst coders without care for actual performance. Yet...they advertise their products as cutting edge performance. Quite the irony.

Unfortunately gaming companies routinely hire inexperienced coders because they're cheap. By the time those coders have skilled up, they've been burned by the gaming industry in one of the many ways that the gaming industry burns coders, and so they no longer work in gamedev.
I love Linux, but it's still like a glass house. One simple terminal command out of curiosity will basically force you to reinstall the OS.

If you're response to that is "well you should know what you're doing before you run as sudo," all I can say is no. There is no reason why changing a DE, or installing certain software should make it nigh impossible to revert to previous changes short of being an expert or full reinstall. Plus minor quirks with every single one. It gets tedious fast to the point that I just want to develop. I don't want to mess around with why I can't use this piece of software because of some configuration issue related to Linux. I just want it to work.

When I'm on Linux, more often then not I'd rather just not have complicated software as I'm used to on Windows or Mac. Linux is where you go when you borderline have to expect something isn't going to work or you'll need to do a reinstall at some point. I've never felt that way about Windows or Mac unless my root drive felt bloated and it was entirely optional.
I really admire Laszlo Polgar, and I agree that everybody can be raised a genius, but there is a caveat in it too - it takes a lot of effort on part of parents to groom children that way. Maybe it's easier than to become a chess GM, but in practice, lot more effort than most people are willing to (or even can) afford.
I bet you have a ton of evidence to support your viewpoint too.

This right here is a demonstration that language around "white privilege" is too opaque, loaded, academic and at times outright hostile. It's failing at it's job of helping people to understand the problem.

Privilege is a word loaded with connotations about being born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

White privilege isn't about being upper class because you're white. It's about the advantages a white person has over non-white people of the same station.

A white person in a poor neighborhood is on the whole more likely to be able to pull "themselves" out of poverty, because, the systems and power structures in place have white people in power, or have systems that are fair on their face, but still lead to higher white hire rates or social mobility.

Nobody is disputing that some white people have it bad, they're simply pointing out that all else about your social status being equal, being white provides tremendous advantage over being non-white.
Why and how of a multi-tenant Apache Pulsar as a service offering
They can thanks Sweden, Finland, France and a few other neighboors to provide them with plenty of electricity and hydraulic backup when they need it (no wind at night).

France is sending around 2 to 4 GW of electricity (so mostly nuclear) to Germany all the time, "except" when there is plenty of wind, then France is buying for a really cheap price (sometimes negative) what Germany can't use. See https://www.rte-france.com/eco2mix/les-echanges-commerciaux-...

2 to 4 GW is roughly 2 to 4 nuclear reactors at 100%, so one/two nuclear powerplants "on an average usage".

You can't say that you exited nuclear (or any other kind of energy) when you're massively, and really often, importing electricity from this source from across the borders.

And your graph is pretty clear. Germany didn't "removed fossil fuel", they replaced around 100GW of coal with 50GW of natural gas + renewable. To me natural gas is still a fossil fuel (with a lighter co2 impact than coal indeed).

And in the end the result is https://www.electricitymap.org/map 5 to 10x more CO² impact than France per kwh, even with 2x the nuclear plants setup in France (60GW of nuclear in France against 60GW of wind turbines and 60GW of solar panels in Germany).
Yes, huge win! As we clean up the electric grids we as consumers also have to transition all our fossil-fuel things (cars, furnaces, driers, etc) to electric things (electric cars, heat pumps).

Around 42% of energy-related carbon emissions are from decisions we make about the few big appliances in our homes that we replace every 10-15 years.

Traditional print is over, jobs are disapppearing faster than coal miners. It is not by chance that media is getting more partisan - it is a way to boost subscription numbers, but I don't think it is sustainable. What we are witnessing are the convulsions of their slow-motion suicide.

I really hope substack will get bigger, there are incredible authors with a quality of writing that I have never witnessed even in the heyday of traditional print media.
Your friendly neighborhood normal distribution curve and z score makes this pretty easy to fathom. The z score of a 50th percentile player is 0. A player who is 1 standard deviation above the mean is about 84th percentile. The z score of a 99th percentile player (let's say Brian) is ~2.4. The z score of a 99.99th percentile player (grandmaster or lebron james) is ~3.8

So with these hand waving assumptions, Brian's comment holds true if the ymca players are <= 84th percentile of basket ball players. Sounds reasonable to me.
Global electricity production is currently estimated to be about a quarter of human CO2 production (https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emiss...).
> Never in my life I heard someone pronouncing "Bill Gates" or even "Google" with the Italian grammar/pronunciation rules.

But if you native Italian speakers did happen to pronounce it "gah-tes" or "googleh" or whatever while speaking Italian, Americans would not insist that Italians are pronouncing it wrong. They would just say that's how Italians pronounce it.

By contrast, if a native English speaker pronounces an Italian word according to how it's spelled according to English conventions (we're using "bruschetta" as the example, so, as BREW-shet-uh), while speaking English an Italian will insist that this pronunciation is wrong.

>> If someone gives you a hard time, smirk at them for being the unsophisticated provincial they are.

> This is incredibly arrogant.

I was making a joke. Probably didn't land well with those who disagree with me.

It might be a cultural difference, but it strikes me as incredibly arrogant to tell people who are speaking their own native language that they are pronouncing a word wrong simply because it originated in your native language and they don't pronounce it like you do.

Oh that’s gone and got cocked up too. Discovery have paid a fortune for the europe-wide individual streaming rights, so BBC can only broadcast two streams at a time. You can only watch the individual sports streams on Eurosport/Discovery plus. This is a kafkaesque mess though - e.g. PS only has Eurosport app, but to sign up and subscribe, you have to go through discovery+, whose credentials can’t log you in to Eurosport; obviously a huge improvement over just having it all on the BBC….
On the flipside didn't Germany really jump start solar power?
If "mainstream" news organisation cannot be trusted. People will go elsewhere in search of the "truth".

I am in the UK and I cannot trust any of the outlets at all. They lie by omission in many cases or simply do not cover it.

e.g. We've had massive anti-lockdown / vaccine passport protests in most of the cities in the UK this weekend. There are protests in France from what I understand around vaccine passports / health pass as well.

Not a mention of it at all on the BBC. Instead I find out about it via "Right Said Fred"'s twitter account. Who are "Right Said Fred"? A 90s one hit wonder band.

Security-wise they are roughly equivalent. While SHA has had more eyes on it I doubt either construction will ever be practically broken at hash sizes like 384 or 512 bits. Someone may find an "academic break" at some point.

BLAKE3 is faster, sometimes a lot faster, on hardware without SHA instructions. On hardware with SHA instructions SHA may be faster. Same as the AES story where AES is faster than ChaCha on CPUs with dedicated hardware but slower otherwise.
> This is a very narrow perspective that is only inflated if you're in IT or on an IT related site like HN.

And? I was responding to extremely overstated "open source projects will always provide a lower quality than comerical ones"

Even if Linux would be worse for 99% of people who are less IT-centered than me then it would be still counterexample for "always".

Open source project can be for 5 person worldwide without monetization plan. And beat commercial software for that people.

If someone wants to make claim "for average person it is typical that..." then make it, but this hyperbole was clearly false.

I am not sure congestion pricing will have the desired effect in SF, people will need an alternative means to travel downtown - currently BART or Muni or Street Cars. If SF had an egalitarian public transport system - as found in NYC and London - then congestion charging would be beneficial to SF society. Since there is no genuine fit-for-purpose alternative, congestion charges are another Tax. And how will SF spend those tax dollars - "solving" city's more pressing problems. Typical SF behavior, we can't fix what we need to fix, so lets "fix" something else.

Yeah I just kinda turn it on when I'm home and catch whatever I can. If I'm being real I'm not THAT invested in any event. It's just fun to watch.
Yeah I'm conflicted on the value of congestion pricing (which feels like a regressive tax on people who don't have the flexibiltiy to bike to work or live in a city center) versus pedestrianizing streets, increasing public transit, etc. to reverse induced demand. If we keep throwing money at giving more space to cars, people will keep choosing cars, and the cycle continues.
