I've used XMonad for >10 years. I love it and hate it at the same time. I love XMonad layouts! I hate that I have to write Haskell to configure it. I no longer have the patience to relearn the minimal amount of Haskell necessary to make config changes, so I've frozen my config and not touched it for the last 4 years.

But its really hard to switch off it! I've tried i3 and really like that it has a network based API, but not having automatic layouts is really a deal breaker for me. It seems like you should be able to port the XMonad layouts to i3, but in reality their models are different enough that I doubt you could ever make the same layouts in i3 and have it work exactly as it does in XMonad.
Completely understandable. The pendulum swings!
Nitpick: it’s not illegal to drive a company into the ground. It’s illegal to lie to your shareholders about doing so (it’s fraud). The “fiduciary duty” to shareholders is not a legal thing.

If I tell my shareholders that I’m gonna drive my company into the ground by laying off 90% of the staff, and they give me money, that’s not my problem.
Rather than use a depth map, it might be more robust (though probably a bit more expensive) to just use a beam splitter (dielectric, at the laser wavelength) and have the camera share the bore-sight with the laser.
Homelessness isn’t really caused by housing prices, people just move to worse places or get roommates. Crime definitely isn’t caused by housing prices, it’s plunged as housing prices have soared over the past 30 years
To be fair California politicians have no say over voters power of direct democracy. It's why we have prop 13 and thus why our housing market is a nightmare.
I've identified this problem in my gameplay in roguelikes. It's hard to predict precisely what will be needed in later levels, so I find myself being quite a bit too conservative. I'd love to see research on this behavior.

I founded a company where we train a lot of machine learning models on music. We aren't quite at AssemblyAI's scale yet, but here is how I built my company's first on-premise GPU cluster to get us started:

1. Purchase GPU machines from Lambda Labs. I went with machines with 256 GB of CPU RAM, 24-core AMD Threadrippers, 2 NVIDIA RTX 3090s, and 10gbps Ethernet. You might want to choose even more expensive GPUs.

2. Make sure your electrical circuits have sufficient capacity to run your GPU machines at peak power consumption. I gave each machine its own US residential electrical circuit. If you are storing your GPU servers in a data center, look into whether they can get you enough electrical power for Lambda Labs's 8-GPU machines. When talking with a data center's sales team, make sure they understand how much electrical power you need. They might charge you a lot of money if you ask for much more electrical power than they usually install in a cabinet. Try to negotiate with multiple data centers to see you can give you the best offer.

3. Purchase storage machines from 45Drives. I recommend buying their 30-drive machines and setting up a ZFS pool of 10 3-drive mirrors. Do not bother with raidz because your read and write speeds will be too slow, bottlenecking your ETL and training jobs.

4. Serve files from your storage machines to your GPU machines using NFS. I like to use MergerFS to merge mounts from different NFS servers. Alternatively, you might want to use Ceph, Min.io, or Lustre.

5. Buy Intel NUCs to run miscellaneous services--like monitoring--that you wouldn't want to colocate with your storage or GPU machines. They are small, cheap, and don't require a lot of electrical power. I bought a couple of NUCs with 64 GB of RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD each. Then I purchased external 10gbps Ethernet cards to plug into each NUC's 40gbps Thunderbolt 3 port.

6. Buy 10gbps network switches. MikroTik has affordable 4-port, 8-port, and 16-port 10gbps switches. These are SFP+ (optical) switches, so you may need to buy copper adapters. I really like MikroTik's balance of quality and affordability, so I also buy network routers and other equipment from MikroTik.

7. If possible, try to train models small enough that each model only needs one machine to train. For this reason, maybe you will want to buy one 10-GPU machine instead of 5 2-GPU machines. There are Amdahl's Law-style coordination costs to using multiple machines to train the same model. When I do large hyperparameter searches over many candidate models, I minimize these coordination costs and maximize throughput by limiting each model to only one machine. Of course, this is impossible if you are like AppliedAI and need 48 V100s to train a model.

8. If you do need to train a single model using multiple machines, I've heard good things about Horovod, but I'm also excited about Ray.io--which offers user-friendly distributed training wrappers around TensorFlow MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy, PyTorch's DistributedDataParallel, or Horovod (which itself can train TensorFlow, PyTorch, or MXNet).

> 2. Cloudflare’s security services also do not materially contribute to infringement. From the perspective of a user accessing the infringing websites, these services make no difference. Cloudflare’s security services do impact the ability of third parties to identify a website’s hosting provider and the IP address of the server on which it resides. If Cloudflare’s provision of these services made it more difficult for a third party to report incidents of infringement to the web host as part of an effort to get the underlying content taken down, perhaps it could be liable for contributory infringement. But here, the parties agree that Cloudflare informs complainants of the identity of the host in response to receiving a copyright complaint, in addition to forwarding the complaint along to the host provider.

> I believe GAA is the next gen tech for the node process. Samsung is the first foundry to do GAA w/3nm while TSMC is sticking w/FinFET for their 3nm. It'll be interesting to see how 3nm FinFET compare to 3nm GAA.

Comparing Apples to Oranges, and doing doing a comparison on taste vs. size.

The device may well be awesome, but first ICs using it not so.

The biggest advancements in under 14nm were in metal, not so much with the device, process, or materials.

Even if Samsung will produce a better device design, they will still have to catch up to TSMC in so many, many other areas.

Only single digit number of people on this planet will ever know the exact measurements of FinFet vs. GAAFet

But one thing for sure, Samsung saying that they pioneered a new device ahead of TSMC does indeed sound very, and impressive to a certain category big co. people regardless of actual performance.

Microsoft flat-lined for over a decade after the antitrust lawsuit. They completely missed mobile and nearly missed cloud. They've had to do a 180 on open source and they've had to offer some tools free of charge for small or independent developers.

Lately they've actually done really well, especially as Google, Amazon, and Facebook have stumbled with privacy and reputation. There was a while though were M$ was the definition of EvilCorp

Lol this is 100% accurate. Former enlisted sailor on a ddg
You are changing the goalposts here. You don’t just want sideloading. You also want an easy way to do that at scale. However that’s not an obviously beneficial trade-off for the average user.

The point is as the device owner you have the ability to run code on your own device outside App Store without paying Apple. To be able to effectively distribute such code to the average iOS user who may not understand how to deploy unsigned app and the potential implications of it is a different story and one that you could argue is designed to protect the layperson against themselves (contrast this with users running random .exe from emails on Windows).
That's not the "real goal" of Prop 13. California low income seniors have the California Tax Postponment Program which allows them to defer taxes until death if they wish.

Prop 13 was a "tax revolt" passed because greedy angry landowners wanted revenge on the state for taxing them.
Also, nighttime
Maybe a controversial opinion, but I think it's a rather reasonable trade-off compare to say left someone dying in the woods.
The reason is that there is no alternative. You'd be a fool to take the Bay Bridge on a Friday afternoon. BART is there, and any sensible person would take it. In Austin, when traffic is fucked, you're just fucked, especially if you have to cross the river.
Absolutely. I am a Californian, and when I see my family talking about the houses they bought in Texas, and yes maybe that was a decade back, and I compare them to an equivalent house in Cupertino (there are none maybe, and I am not that familiar with Fremont but I think it is the same range, just 10% lower worst case), the price difference has to be a million at least, could be more.
Here's the thing. JS does not suck. Node does not suck. They exist and are widely used precisely because they do not suck and deliver many advantages that are preferred by many developers over alternatives.

I hate Python and could go on all day about what's wrong with it, but it doesn't suck. I use it when it is appropriate for the task at hand, but find it is rarely the best language for the job - given what I know and what I prefer.

Most people that hate a language also avoid it and, therefore, tend to not have made their peace with its shortcomings, so don't have an honest reckoning.

It is unfair to completely disparage a language until you have fully figured out how to understand and work with it, warts and all. Frankly, until then, you aren't yet informed enough to make a summary judgement. You are just cherry-picking your dislikes.

I have rarely heard a criticism that did anything but highlight the critic's lack of knowledge. For example, there is a common criticism about the lack of a standard library. Well, that is how the ES or Node ecosystems are structured. It is not a flaw - it is just a different approach. If you work intelligently within that paradigm, it is actually quite nice. If you hold onto your expectation that a standard library is a part of any respectable ecosystem, you're going to be perpetually dissatisfied with ES/Node. It may not be what you like or expect, but it is not inherently wrong or lacking.

Parenthetically, anyone who makes the standard library complaint about Node just doesn't know Node. It has a very complete set of functionality natively, for its purpose. It is not going to offer much in the way of math operations, sorting algorithms, etc. That is not its purpose. If you want those things, you can add them.

If you think that a given dependency is too big, too small, incomplete, or poorly managed, write your own, and publish it like many have done.

But be warned - if it gets popular, there will be no end of complaints about what's wrong with your library because ... well ... it is actually developers who suck. We have opinions and are quick to convince ourselves that those opinions are fact and anyone who disagrees is not as smart as we are.

> If you work a "9-5" and are reading this comment at work right now, I can give you a hint: it's not 40 ;)

I don't like this attitude as it implies "reading" isn't work. The role of a "knowledge worker" is to find and generate new ideas and implement them. Hacker News is regularly filled with good articles and commentary about the tech space - and is something I encourage my team to follow.

Its not uncommon for there to be articles directly related to our tech stack. So yeah, even if you aren't pushing code for 40hours, doesn't mean you aren't "working" that whole time.
His estate pays them back when he dies. Inherited shares have their cost basis reset to the current value, so if his heirs sell them immediately there's no capital gains to be taxed.
I disagree - I think many people are in fact interested in mastery, but they’re unwilling to commit to mastering a given pursuit because it’s either not their true calling (as is the case with most jobs for most people), because they believe it’s not worth it (even if it might be), or because of external factors like money.

Our society often discourages pursuits that aren’t correlated with income. Practically, how much time can I truly spend on a craft if I need to make a living too? Some people can make what are essentially two full time jobs work, but most people have other needs that fall higher in the hierarchy that don’t allow that sort of dedication.

Or maybe growing up their parents discouraged them from committing to, say, the arts, precisely because of their concern for the uncertain economic future associated with that lifestyle.

I think people who manage to find a job that provides a sense of mastery and pays well are seriously lucky.
There is a gaping hole in this article, and that's the accusations of securities fraud.

There were already a number of credible accusations of advertising fraud when they lied to advertisers about how effective their ads are, which then became securities fraud when they lied to investors, way before the Haugen leaks. These are just a couple:

- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-committed-fraud-lawsui...

- https://theintercept.com/2020/12/24/facebook-ad-targeting-sm...

Lots of emotional puffery disguised as fancy business nuance about Facebook instead of looking at how their business model is actually run in reality. He admits that he's biased, and it shows. This really reads like someone trying not to understand something for the sake of their salary.
Honestly, a lot of these things describe Google too. Most people don't want to work on ads (the core business). Since it's a bigger company, there are more product roles that aren't ads.
Great name.

Wasn’t ‘to be a gesture’ the general point of setting up the original prize? From Wikipedia’s summary:

> Having read a premature obituary which condemned him for profiting from the sales of arms, [Alfred Nobel] bequeathed his fortune to the Nobel Prize institution.
> Essentially, because it was against human nature.

I've heard this counterargument against socialism/communism for a long time, and it always sounds like a form of "magical thinking" to me. Asserting the tautology that "humans are naturally greedy" when if you know any actual humans, you know this is not true.

Short-sightedness, selfishness, greed, and laziness are all easily handled by a functioning criminal justice system, and public education system. At least in THIS country, we willfully subverted and destroyed these institutions, over a long period of time. For various reasons, but mostly because the haves wanted it this way. The same happened in the USSR.

A few entitled and already very wealthy people are greedy. Most of the rest of us will ACT greedy when they've been deprived of basic necessities by a crooked and rigged system. But by and large, most people are not inherently greedy.
How is your experience with using Blazor and also creating the mobile apps (not even sure what .NET tech is used for that these days)? I maintain a web and mobile app so using C# across all platforms would be amazing, but I thought Blazor was still too new so I decided to use TypeScript & React for the web and mobile apps.
Apparently there's like two millions of cases of myocarditis globally, so on average you'd probably expect tens of thousands of cases among 177M people. In what way would 145 cases be embarrassing for "normal figures"? I'd expect that a medical miracle would be praised at that point.
I approve your optimism, while doubting it would be at all easy for me to try to do.

You would have no shortage of beta testers, and in the hobby / home space I would expect the market to be significant. Commercial hive operators, I'm less sure about how the economics would play out there.

There's at least one other pest that's large enough to be a good candidate for this approach - the wax moth.

There's plenty of other pests, but they're typically small and hitch a ride on bees, (eg varroa mite) so terminator gene really is our most hopeful solution for many of those.

Yes. Again, he will have the exact same amount of money in both cases at the end of the day. Somehow you envision that finding opportunities to return 10.000x on investment are a tax loophole. If have such “loopholes” available simply let me know and I will fund them on a pre- or post-tax basis. Perhaps society should allow more people the freedom to find these lottery tickets on their own and grow instead of demanding the funds and investing them in things like abandoned military equipment in foreign countries.
> Prop 13 probably filters down to renters in reduced rent

It doesn't.

Rent is set by the market. New and old landlords have drastically different tax rates but charge roughly the same rent. Same deal with gas stations: you can't figure out how much property tax they're paying based on the price at the pump.

In fact one of the main reasons California has rent control is that Howard Jarvis promised renters that landlords would be nice and pass along the cuts. Of course this was a lie and in the early 80s cities lashed out with rent control in response.

> hijacks your cellular machinery

No. It doesn't. This is completely ignorant misinformation. Your molecular machinery for creating proteins are doing so constantly. Introducing a bit of code that produces a protein that looks like the virus is in no way "hijacking" your molecular machinery. Your machinery happily chugs along with every other of the 10s of thousands of other proteins being produced at the same time. Nothing is hijacked.
That's funny. Yesterday on Marketplace there was a piece about the city of Austin trying to build a $300k low income home in an empty lot in a rich neighborhood. The neighbors freaked out and sued to stop it. It is now a half finished foundation buried in weeds. Sounds pretty NIMBY to me.
Scroll down to the section on crime data for each city (not far down the page):

https://www.city-data.com/city/Austin-Texas.html

https://www.city-data.com/city/San-Francisco-California.html

Austin typically has a far lower murder rate than SF (usually 1/2 to 1/3 the rate of SF looking over the prior decade). Austin is usually well below the US national murder rate, which is rare for a major US city. Austin has a dramatically lower robbery rate vs SF. They're similar on assaults. Austin is higher by 50% on rapes. SF is a lot higher on thefts. They're similar on burglaries.
I agree. Something smells funny. Doesn't mean that good things can't happen because of it, but there's definitely a fishy smell in the area.

I don't think unproductive hours are random, but I suspect that for mental work the productivity ratio decreases more dramatically in the last hour of each day than the last day of a week. Basically, from a pure productivity standpoint, it may be more efficient to go from 5x8 to 5x6 (or even 5x4) than to go from 5x8 to 4x8. Most people might prefer 4x8 because a full day off is more flexible, however.
I feel like there’s a bit of trust involved in the whole hiring process. If they think I’m lying and can’t pay me what I want, then why do they believe anything I said during the interviews. I don’t want to work with people that think lying to them after a few conversations.

Project maintainers had their projects moved from their public GitHub accounts to the DNF's GitHub Enterprise account without notice. Some maintainers only found out about the transfers of their projects because of this[1] discussion.

Just a little note that we (AwesomeWM team) have stable APIs since 4.0 and each releases no longer break the API. We also have reached 90% code/behavior coverage (from 0% in < 4.0 days).

From a maintainer PoV, this is often a pain since AwesomeWM exposes most of its internal guts, but with enough compatibility code and Android style API levels, we still manage compatibility pretty well.
