The unfortunate thing about scratch rewrites is that they are not a good business. Open Source has conditioned people to think that libraries should be free. It's not clear to me that the alternative where libraries are obscenely expensive (like in the hardware world, where a hash table is a $100k investment) is any better. Nobody has ever built a successful company charging between $0 and $10,000 for a library. That is just how people see things, and unfortunately it is extremely hard to change.

> view paying obscene amounts of money for provenance as exceedingly lame

This is pretty much it for me. Some people have personal reasons to buy specific tokens for normal-goods prices, and I can still respect those people - but to spend thousands or millions on a few bytes is to advertise ridiculously poor taste.
I have also had this issue, but only in the last few weeks. The promotions used to work before.
I can never get this to work!

Installed on macOS 12.1 and Windows 10 or 11, and nothing happens!

It sees the client and server just fine. But never moves over!

Maybe I should the try the paid Synergy!

The Logitech solution has the lag when you bang against the side of the screen, and thats no good! :-)
Still just a cringey excuse to attach a trademark to a common practice, only sans the "Microsoft".

(OK, "git flow" was in a way even worse; that was Atlassian trying to usurp the generic "git" name for their own particular flow.)
Yes, and it shows why that vision is a pipe dream: Ticketmaster isn’t centralized by accident, or because there haven’t been hundreds of attempts to build competing services. They’re centralized because they spent many millions of dollars centralizing that market and related ones so they can extract as much money as possible.

Blockchains not only don’t change that, they encourage it by so heavily favoring the richest participants. There’s no way an unethical incumbent would use that as you hope rather than how they’ve used everything else, and without access to the venues and artists in their network you’re going to be limited to the smallest places and bands.

EDIT: remember, everyone not getting paid by them hates Ticketmaster. Their website has been terrible since the 90s and their random fees have been the subject of rants and jokes for just as long. There have been several generations of developers who thought tickets shouldn’t cost so much, knew their musician friends hated Ticketmaster, and said “hey I know Perl/PHP/Python/Node/etc. and could build a better website!” They all failed, and it would be really critical to ask what you’re bringing which is different and especially whether this is actually a technical problem or you have power to apply leverage to the business problems.
> Is that done at the driver level?

No, the FP64 units aren't physically present on silicon in high numbers on the non xx100 dies.

However, limitations enforced just by the driver and its FW set:

- GPU virtualisation (see: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock)

- NVENC video encoder limitations to 2 simultaneous streams on customer cards

- Lite Hash Rate limitation enforcement to make GPUs less attractive for miners
I see, the simplicity of the AST certainly makes it easier to add one’s own refactorings, and that’s quite compelling. Thanks for the pointers.

Not true. I run display-switch on only one of my two computers and the monitor switches back and forth with my USB switch.
Yes, of course, and you could have known that with certainty since Wikileaks.
Which confirms my suspicions that NFTs are not enforceable because they have no laws governing them, except by everyone agreeing to the rules of the game. What I don't know, but what I suspect, is that no one is getting arrested for not following the agreed upon rules.
Symbol table patching doesn't do anything if the functionality is internal... Do you know how programs are linked?
Yup I made the mistake of doing this with oculus sending me 4(!) quest 2 unit's when I only ordered 1.

They essentially ghosted me support wise so I did a chargeback. They then banned me from buying games. It took > 100 days to resolve it. Never buy hardware from oculus/facebook directly.
Webb telescope will change everything, once again.
No it can't because it has no legal standing whatsoever to do so.

No court and no law creates any legally binding standing for an NFT, because an NFT sale does not establish any sort of recognized contract between the parties - it does not even establish the the terms of use or ownership under which the NFT can be recognized. The nature of NFTs at most would lead to a recognition of the the token being legal property, if your wallet was stolen, but not whatever you think the property actually is.
You don’t have uBlock in Safari anymore, that’s the point.
It prevents the artist from signing the same thing twice. So with PGP you might be the owner of a thing, but you might not be the only owner of a thing.
An NFT is not the artwork. In an extreme simplification of the actual technology, an NFT is _conceptually_ an identifier of the form:
(Blockchain, Publish Date, Comment, Unique ID, Signature)

Ownership of this token is independently verifiable. It’s creation date is independently verifiable. It is transferable via a decentralized market. It is transferable only by the owner. The creator of this token cannot sell multiple, because the token is unique and can only belong to one individual. The token cannot be sold on a different blockchain, because it’s only valid on the blockchain it belongs to. Even if the Token’s creator later creates and sells similar tokens, this token is unique and only one person owns it.

One use case for NFTs is to act as a _public_ digital certificate of authenticity. Extra emphasis on _public_. When an NFT is published, it is published with all of the above independently verifiable information.

If today Quentin Tarantino publishes an NFT on Ethereum claiming ownership of frame ‘X’ of Pulp Fiction on Ethereum, it would _conceptually_ look something like this:
(Ethereum, 12/18/2021, “Pulp Fiction Frame X”, “043f6ca3-f445-46f1-a048-5613d512a7d0”, “xoxo QT”)

If tomorrow he decides to publish a new NFT on Ethereum claiming ownership of the very same frame ‘X’ of Pulp Fiction, it would look like this:
(Ethereum, 12/19/2021, “Pulp Fiction Frame X”, “ 17aff37e-74f7-4e3e-b5bc-e023c2ded975”, “xoxo QT”)

These two tokens cannot be mistaken for each other. This is why NFTs are conceptually and technologically useful.

Compare this to physical collectibles, for example artwork. If you had an original painting and a forgery that was identified down to the atom level, but you could verify which one was the original, someone would still value the original more than the forgery.

Don’t be mistaken, the NFT landscape today still warrants skepticism and criticism over the concept of ownership many are trying to sell. Many people are being tricked into investing into NFTs thinking what they are purchasing is some actual ownership or copyright of a digital artifact. In the scenario described above there is nothing inherently preventing Quentin Tarantino from selling millions of certificates of ownership for that frame of Pulp Fiction. But one thing he cannot do is sell more than one copy of the NFT he made today, because there can only be one.
Shame that it uses quadratically scaling transformers - there are many sub-quadratic transformers that work quite well or better (https://github.com/lucidrains?tab=repositories) - because that 4 second sub-sample limitation seems quite unlike how I imagine most people experience music. Interesting, though. I wonder if I could take a stab at this..

Also interesting that the absolute timing of onsets worked better than relative timing - that also seems kinda bizarre to me, since, when I listen to music, it is never in absolute terms (e.g. "wow I just loved how this connects to the start of the 12th bar" vs "wow I loved that transition from what was playing 2 bars ago".

Another thing on relative timing.. when I listen to music, for me, very nuanced, gradual, and intentional deviations of tempo have significant sentimenal effects - which suggests to me that you need a 'covariant' description of how the tempo needs to change over time, so, not only do you need relative timing of events, you also need relative timing of the relative timing of events as well

Some examples:

- Jonny Greenwood's Phantom Thread II from the Phantom Thread soundtrack [0]

- the breakdown in Holy Other's amazing "Touch" [1], where the song basically grinds to a halt before releasing all the pent up emotional potential energy.

The Tsinghua University in Beijing is a very different institution after 1949. A large group of Tsinghua faculty staff and alumni relocated to Taiwan including its longest serving president, Mei Yiqi. What was left behind soon got dismantled and reorganized along with other universities, turning every university including Tsinghua into Soviet-style institutions that focused on strictly defined disciplines instead of having a wide range of faculties. Its self-proclaimed long heritage before the PRC was not promoted much until the 80's when China started to reform and open up. The endowment fund set up from Boxer Rebellion reparations now belongs to National Tsinghua University in Taiwan and so is Tsinghua's American connection.
I kind of agree, but if you have a very tight coupling, you could version control objects of the language and not text files. For example, a function could be versioned as a function, not a chunk of text.

For example, I have seen cases with diffing where based on whatever algorithm, a very small logical change, (like moving a function up or down in the file along with a minor edit), creates a very confusing side by side diff based on whatever similar lines it think match up.

> Later generation will look down at our barbarism the same way we look at tribes of cannibalistic neanderthals.

I believe this is true of any philosophy that believes itself the path to progress.

If I believed my philosophy would result in future generations looking back at us as a pinnacle of human rights and technical progress - I’d look for a different philosophy.

It’s also fair to say the path to that progress you referenced in comparison is historical record - we know the societal structures in place when we accomplished that.
While I understand, that this is what the majority of NFT proponents find most valuable, I don't think being able to sell them is a requirement.
Aye. Polyphonic pitch is a much simpler problem than "key" which is more akin to rigorous sentiment analysis or some other intractable goal.

Ethereum Name System (aka ENS) is perhaps the most successful non-financial and non-game web3 use case to date. Mango (on Solana) is the single most successful initial DAO offering to date. Mango is a decentealized order book margin trading platform which pays anyone to be a market maker.

There's about 9000 more listed here; though many of the top projects are ommited for some reason (e.g. both ENS and Mango are absent from this list): https://dappradar.com/rankings
The article is a symptom of arrogance of a certain technical crowd which has fully invested themselves into the "nothing new logic", simply refuses to consider that they might be missing something, and as a result ends up totally off-field.

The proposed scheme does not track ownership. The trick is to proof that I /no longer/ own a token. It's about having a ledger of ownership.

The only thing the blockchain does is provide shared state, a ledger. To rip out the one thing that matters in this, then claim you have the same thing, takes se kind of hubris.
You don't need the distributed ledger to build a traceable record of value transfer though, the PGP NFT itself can be signed with an amendment documenting each transfer.
Yes, but their site does have some nice practice trainers that help for both prose and coding activities.
How about games? Something like while True: learn() is really good at explaining the high level

I'm a bit surprised nobody mentioned Karl Sims Evolved Virtual Creatures yet (https://karlsims.com/evolved-virtual-creatures.html).
A signature is simply that, a signature. It doesn't guarantee uniqueness and doesn't prevent you copying it any number of times.

An identity + timestamping mechanism would guarantee uniqueness of ownership, and a blockchain performs this in a relatively decentralised and trustless manner.
Here is archived copy of open letter from IT-namet (IT-Tent) site:[0]

> Dear friends, we publish an appeal to IT colleagues from Silicon Valley.

> We are writing to you to maximize repost and spread the appeal if you have contacts in companies of Silicon Valley:

> Dear friends and colleagues of the IT society!

> IT specialists are the people of the world. We are working in the information space which has no boundaries. We are the first to accept and take new technology and the best global designs. This is the reason why our community is that much democratic and largely integrated into the world community. Therefore, we are for the integration into Europe.

> IT specialists are a professional and apolitical community. However, we are interested in human rights and freedoms, such as freedom of passing the frontier and freedom of word. Therefore, we think it is our duty to help the community with skills and knowledge. That is the reason why we have decided to establish an IT-tent on Euromaidan.

> IT-tent is a place where every person, being on Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kyiv at the moment, has a possibility to enter the Internet, get any support from the IT specialist, tune or charge mobile devices. Thus, we are making IT technology closer to the society. The tent has become a place of professional support without any slogans, with no ideology or political attributes.

> This project was implemented within 24 hours – we have independently gathered without some orders or support of professional unions, have found money, equipment, have printed out leaflets, and connected to the Internet. We, the IT guys, can do everything really fast.

> IT-tent is one of the fastest socials start-ups in the world.

> The tent will be present as long as Euromaidan. Nowadays we have new projects, ideas and start-ups being born during our communication. We keep on thinking how IT specialists can help the society or start working at a really new system of taking state resolutions. That means that resolution, for example, with regard to distribution of a state budget will be taken by personal "likes" of every citizen, but not one person in the financial department. Use of new technologies in taking important for the society resolutions will let these decisions be transparent.

> We, being IT specialists, have to take active part in the processes of country modernization.

> Therefore, we ask you, colleagues, to support our initiative of the IT-tent with ideas, projects, thoughts – we will be grateful for any support.

> We are ready to change the world and improve the life of people thanks to information technologies.

> Senior IT-tent coordinator Maksym Plakhtiy

Well if you care enough in the first place, you won't be eating beef at all.
Yeah, I have small hands and it's uncomfortable to use the cluster while WASD gaming if I don't tent it upwards.
Did anyone actually implement any blockchain-based ticketing? Why do you think the fee collected by a company doing that would be lower than StubHub?

Importantly, wouldn't those tokens be... fungible...?
1. I can't imagine a scenario where someone asks me to implement the message in question and I reply "I won't do it and if you insist I quit." 2. I believe the components on the screen ("You will still be charged" and the actual message) have been designed independently. Of course in the end there was someone somewhere who decided to combine them in the logic of the app.

Normally I'd tend to believe it was a mistake, but after several reports and their lax attitude to them it's clear it works as intended, at least for now.

I guess I can't say much about it. I am barely past a beginner as far as Rust goes, but I have not seen much embracing a functional style.

In fact with the emphasis on (mutable) references vs values; it seems to pretty much encourage the antithesis of functional programming.

What I really love about functional programming is the simplicity of understanding what is going on from looking at the code; functional programming does that by guaranteeing a "function" is always-and-only acting in a specific, simple way. Rust does it (not quite as strictly to my learning-eye) with forcing the tediousness of references/mutability up to the signatures.
Nice work! Thanks for the tip!
The same happened to me. I didn't notice that the discount wasn't on the bill until 2 days later. I contacted UberEats and they said it was over 48 hours so they wouldn't do anything about. It was about 52 hours after.
> What value is there in a receipt that says "I paid money to the person that supported the artist"?

Because that allows more people to support artists in the first hand. If the art was guaranteed to lose value, or keep the value but not increase in value, then fewer people would want to buy art from artists directly.
Is this strict control actually being exercised strictly in practice? My understanding was that e.g. individual device driver authors have a lot of leeway, and I don't know how strictly consistency is actually enforced across the board beyond basic style rules.

Then perhaps it's a ledger of possession instead - a court can't alter reality and say "plaintiff is now in possession of item", however they can order the a defendant to give back stolen property.

Back when I was in college they sold hits of acid via paper disk cut from paper where an LSD solution had been dried, they also used blotting paper, but that was hard to get after Biro invented the ball point pen and Bic flooded the world with them and the fountain pen, quills, nibs etc, and of course blotting paper became endangered species, they then used card stock. Other methods were used. Connaught Labs had a staff flirtation with LSD as they were using it for psychiatric purposes (long before it became a listed drug) and I, as a student chemist had a summer job there in 1960 and it was passed around. Soon after that, in 1968 it became a listed drug.

Personally speaking, the big split is if I actually have to collaborate with someone or not. If I just need to focus on writing code, wfh is great. But if i actually need to design something, use a whiteboard, and have a conversation, it's a million times easier in the office.

This is why I think productivity went up in the short term, companies had plenty of stuff in their backlogs already and WFH let it get done faster. Give it a few years though and I'm expecting product and feature quality to start going down.

> The source code is not what is deployed.
There is typically no link back from a deployed system to its source, even if you compiled the binary within your organisation.

Do you not have this? Our docker images are tagged with the git hash they were built from, so at any point, for any of our envs, I can pull up the lock file of that build.

Our deployment config also describes everything that is running the relevant env, and nobody has machine access- going through the pipeline is the only way to get access, so there’s nothing deployed that’s a mystery.
Amazing!
