I think incidents such as this will wake organizations up to the reality that open source is not inherently more secure or cost effective than proprietary software.

For the past 10 years the prevailing wisdom has been that one should not "re-invent the wheel", but we're starting to see the dangers of not owning the full stack.

As a professional software developer working for a major company, I'm much more inclined to implement something myself rather than pull in a bunch transitive dependencies, that introduce unknown and hard to manage risks. 10 years ago I would have laughed at someone who suggested such a thing.

The argument has always been that closed source can't be inspected and as such is more risky, but I think in the current landscape as open source developers get more ideological, commercial incentives are a better way to protect against supply chain risks than open source code.
You make me really regret throwing away my Demon’s Souls disc when I was depressed years ago. I now have all of the Dark Souls games and Sekiro, no Elden Ring yet.

But having all the games would probably allow me to more fully appreciate the art’s evolution.
Unions and safety. Quality of life and less risk for the workers which china et al has less of. Not a difficult question but this topic keeps coming up as some sort of indirect nudge to corrode those two components under the guise of an argument about global competitive advantage.
That give me a very accurate location! Not using any VPN, etc.
Having gone to school with a number of their “elite”. On the whole, They don’t integrate and are never indoctrinated into western values. They’re there for the education and london.
IIRC C++'s TurboVision is port of Pascal's one. Like the

in Pascal
After using copilot - that’s not it (yet).

The most useful completions would also be done by an IDE. Especially in statically typed languages.

The borderline useful of the completions, you spend a lot of energy scanning a seemingly ingenious solution for bugs. And usually there’s enough one or two deceptively silly bugs that I wish I had just written the code.

The rest are silly and entertaining completions. Honestly the LOLz from these completions are the reason I still use copilot.
This is click-bait.

There really isn't all that much software that does the same exact thing on both NVIDIA and Apple hardware, so benchmarks will largely favor the hardware that has had more integration.

Unlike AMD & Intel, which are easily directly compared, I think there'll be many big differences between Apple and NVIDIA. They do many things in completely different ways.

It'll be interesting to see more comparisons as more software is adapted and written to fully take advantage of Apple hardware, the way much of it is currently written to fully take advantage of NVIDIA.
The point is, it's getting there, and probably is faster than eg a 3060.

Putting CPU, RAM, and GPU all on a single chip, or a multi-chip integrated package clearly has massive advantages.

I think this is another signal that the the era of of the modular computer is over, unfortunately (I love modularity, standards, diy tinkering, etc)
What are people putting in the cloud? Software developed by engineers! What is the cloud? Software developed by engineers! What are ready-to-use solutions? Software developed by engineers! How are people accessing all this stuff? Software developed by engineers!

There's plenty of engineers needed for the internet, but even if we assume the internet will never need any more software engineers, there are still tons of other areas that do: embedded, automotive, manufacturing, phone apps, defense, logistics/supply-chain, etc.
> because everyone told Russia that the NATO expansion is not going East

No, “everyone” didn't.

In fact, no one told Russia anything, the same way the Soviet Union didn't tell California anything. The most anyone has even alleged is that executive branch officials of a particular administration around 1989 made private assurances not incorporated into any kind of international agreement that there were no plans for further NATO eastward expansion beyond united Germany, which was considered by the USSR an expansion from pre-unification West Germany.

(At least one of the bases frequently cited for this actually refers not NATO having no plans to deploy forces in the former East Germany after unification, not eastward NATO expansion at all and another was actually a communication of possible agenda items that could be open for negotiation if the USSR came to the table on German unification, not even a promise of current intent, but we’re not talking about the basis of the allegation but the allegation itself.)

Now, the USSR was a big grown up country then and knew quite well the difference between private assurances and binding commitments incorporated intoninternational agreements like treaties, and was quite aware that even if it has the former, it never had the latter. Had that been an international agreement, we could discuss whether Russia alone was a successor to it and, if so, if they were the sole successor to it or, otherwise, what the effect of disunity among the former Soviet Republics as to intent to continue it and other questions that would determine whether it was still an operative, binding agreement, but it was never an a binding agreement in the first place, so there's was nothing for post-Soviet successor states to inherit.

Not that even if a treaty did exist, it's violation by admitting willing members to a defensive alliance would justify an invasion of Ukraine.

This is seriously like murdering a neighbor who is discussing selling land to someone because you thinks the prospective buyer isn't behaving in line with a casual statement never incorporated into a contract or other binding commitment that they made to your dad about not wanting to buy land near his a couple years before he died 30 years ago, when several neighbors, and your siblings who have inherited part of your dad's land, have voluntarily sold him land starting about a decade after that conversation.

It's insane.
Number of dimensions is one of the 25 numbers of line 9.

But reducing the nine lines to fewer lines is an open problem, indeed.
The punishment isn’t only a punishment for the individual. It’s a deterrent to keep the next person from doing whatever it was that was illegal. You can argue if that’s right or wrong, but that’s one of the points of many sentences — to send a “message” to others who might commit a crime.
Thanks. You just made me discover more great educational YouTube channels.
Shameless plug, but I think you should take a look at my book Junior to Senior that is soon to be published by Holloway[0]. Like other commenters have mentioned, the best way for junior devs to sharpen their technical skills is to just put in the work. Lean on your senior engineers to help the juniors develop the good skills and kick the bad habits.

Not enough managers push their junior devs to work on developing their soft skills early on, so they're left figuring these things out later in their career, but those are some of the most important things that will help them grow into an effective engineer.

Here are the general topics my book covers:

1. Choosing a career path (IC vs. Manager, generalist vs. specialist)

2. Qualities of a senior engineer

3. How to deal with imposter feelings

4. Working with your manager

5. What to do when you make mistakes

6. How to ask good questions

7. How to read unfamiliar code

8. Adding value

9. Managing risk

10. Delivering results

11. How to communicate effectively

12. Work life balance

13. How to ask for a promotion to a senior role

I also started a substack newsletter to cover these topics are more. [1]

For many people out there open source is a way to legally pirate stuff.

They would be pirating those tools and libraries if they were commercial.

And on top of that they feel entitled to have their critical bugs fixed right away, again for free.
I'd understand this more if the two uses would somehow conflict, e.g. by competing for a limited resource. But here? If anything, this is going to either preserve other water sources for others, or put more money behind the technology.
I must agree on the "click-baity" title.

If it wasn't for the article being posted on HN, I would never have clicked on the title, as it includes something like "Scientists are flabbergasted".
Or just wear a white hat.
I don’t think the Russians are going to care about a felony conviction. The major security holes in embedded devices that are part of our critical infrastructure are national security threats.

Despite Putin’s bluster about nuclear weapons, cyberattacks are the easiest way for Russia to inflict pain on the US and Western Europe in response to economic sanctions and our support for Ukrain militarily. And those could do a lot of damage, both in terms of our economies and even civilian American/European lives.

70 degrees fahrenheit to be clear! Still a lot, wish they included that in the headline.
I wonder the same; often I look up programming things and the first links are videos. So I try to watch one and immediately I think; how can anyone anyone do work like this? I needed a flag for ls and was too lazy to read the man page; the result was already put in 1 line on top by Google. Of course I needed only 5 chars only. Then I clicked the video that answered the question for fun; I will try to find it but I think it was 15 minutes of drivel… I just don’t get it. I mean sure I understand why the video makers do it, but who consumes this crap? And why? And it is getting worse; I like watching live streams of programming, but when you actually want to learn something and therefor need to enter code yourself, there is nothing more inefficient medium than video imho.

In many jurisdictions this is indeed a criminal offense.
It's a test of raw GPU performance. Testing bandwidth would be difficult to synthesize, and also irrelevant for the vast majority of "real world" workloads besides maybe GPGPU computations which are almost always always written with CUDA anyways.

This is gratuitously false. US manufacturing output today is as high as it has ever been. Even low value add industries like steel production are at a significant percentage of their historical maximum output (they do tend to be relatively mechanized and automated and not job centers anymore).
I didn’t want to believe your parentheses text, but I found that the author also has an article criticizing climate projections as volatile and too far into the future [1].

This is straight up climate denial. It’s very pernicious. It admits that climate is changing, it references one of the more dire predictions (3 C), and it doesn’t deny that the change is human caused. It’s pernicious because it shifts attention from an important negative implication (uncertainty with climate) towards an positive but inconsequential impact (more land area). Instead of talking about mass migrations of billions of people and food availability, we’re talking about land.

These arguments are always all over the place, they vary from “it’s not happening” to “don’t worry about it if it is” Climate skepticism has never been about good faith scientific inquiry, it’s always been about insulating incumbent interests from change.

Look at the chart. The question isn't about "max power" performance as much as it is power consumption: Apple claims its chip is reaching similar performance numbers to its competitor given the same amount of power. In fact, the Verge's article[0] that this PC Gamer article is shamelessly and effortlessly reposting, does not dispute that, but is moving the goalpost to "well what if the competitor had more power?" Yawn

FDIC insurance is capped at 250k. The recovery there is also limited and it’s a bad idea to keep large amounts of money in a bank account.

> “Comparing the risk profile of Coinbase to a bank is no different than blindly trusting a big bank not to fail.”

That’s kind of my point? They share a similar risk.

The most interesting thing with crypto is the new capabilities it enables for self custody of wealth.

There’s also the non-government controlled supply and global store of value which are interesting too, but easier self-custody is the prerequisite differentiator imo. It’s also one of its core advantages over gold (the others being easier to transact with, easier to move/store which is related).
Stable climate have never existed. 9000 years ago the average temperature was likely higher than presently by 1 - 1.5 degree. 1000 years ago Northern Atlantic and Pacific were warmer than today. Vikings called Newfoundland Wine Land due to grapes that where grown there. Then that rapidly shifted into much colder conditions.

And then the next ice age can start within the next 1000-2000 years which is much worse for the civilization than global warming to the point that perhaps pumping CO2 into atmosphere is not a bad idea if it allows to stop that.
Hey Adam! This is awesome! Have you ever considered using something like MapLibre as an open source alternative to MapBox?
It’s fair if “better” means “better for end-users”, which is all that matters in practice. It’s especially fair given that Apple is generally credited for having a capabilities focus rather than spec focus, i.e., they are credited for the same end-user focus.

I think the article is poorer for not explicitly making this argument, but it’s right to focus on end-user capabilities, IMO.
I was surprised when I learned the Golden Gate Bridge was built in 4 years started in 1933. I wonder how long it would take today.

If you have a decent gaming PC, you can now emulate the original Demon's Souls at 60FPS, which is great. The Demon's Souls Remake is really good too, but if you're primarily interested in looking at the progression of the art, that Remake took things in a somewhat different direction (as it was made by a different team). It's incredibly faithful gameplay wise, though.

Be sure to check out Bloodborne as well.
Your comment is fucking perfect, clearly exaggerated for effect, and while I sometimes fail, I personally try to rein in my friggin Aspergers enough to not get precious about shit like that.

You sir, are the apex predator of subtle HN trolling. (The guy with the collider thing above is hot on your heels).
Did anyone say m1 ultra is faster than 3090? If they did, surely they didn't mean games. Productivity is not gaming. Fast overall is not the same as delivering 144+ frames each second.
There's a tiny distance between this game and actual mnemonic techniques used by world champion memory athletes. Method of loci capitalizes on the fact that the brain stores memories using a map like structure, as a result of grid cells.

If you can, get a cabby in London with "The Knowledge" to do a session. Such cabbies are among elite humans, of a handful of disciplines known to alter the structure of their brains in a predictable way. Like Shaolin monks, Australian aboriginal shamans, and others, they've got an amazing superpower.

Neat game, and fascinating peripheral subjects, thanks!
Well yeah, I was saying this in a tongue in cheek manner, it would definitely be pretty bad for all those businesses
This article is responding to a very specific slide that Apple showed claiming they were faster than the fastest GPU. This article demonstrates that along a wide range of expected functions for a GPU, Apple's slide was misleading (in multiple ways). While it is definitely true that Apple's new system is a hog for multimedia problems, it's not a "3d-GPU-rendering" system, it's a "2d-GPU-rendering" system, and that's a secondary market for GPUs that nvidia didn't optimize for.

Further, I'm fairly certain if nvidia and adobe did optimize more for GPUs, that their products would be significantly faster. However, at that point we start to get into some very interesting issues about whether the GPU should be a bus-attached, or core-attached device.

Boycott those gas station chains (hint: the cheap gas stations don't pay to upgrade pumps), or buy an EV.

They've been doing these small improvements to support more standard syntax for a while and I approve. (e.g. 3.0 added &&/|| as aliases for and/or, 3.1 added &> redirection syntax, and "X=Y foo" for setting variables for one command)

You should let them know that you don’t agree.
The 9 lines do not say this. The lines do say that drugs are made of atoms and that the molecules follow quantum theory.
I mean, the overall math is very simple. A greater level of trucking automation allows more goods to move with less humans AKA greater productivity. Overall this is a benefit to the economy, but who benefits is harder to determine.
This is hardly a surprise. Look at what consoles can do with a much, much smaller and cheaper AMD SoC
You seem to think the US forced Russia to invade a sovereign neighbor. That didn't happen.
>This is gratuitously false. US manufacturing output today is as high as it has ever been

Right, but manufacturing's share of GDP is low as it has ever been.

> So is the goal is to mark the route you would take? Sounds interesting.

Basically yes, the Blue Book works on turns so you would mark the turns.

So for the example I gave above (Australian High Commission - Paddington) you might mark the turns:

Yes, I guess it could give you extra points for choosing less busy routes during rush hour.
I wasn't aware of it, thanks. I didn't use Mapbox originally but I had to switch after the OSM no-streets tiles were discontinued. I'll look into it!

I genuinely wonder, were that whole team to be replaced, whether the art would come out much different.
This happened in the run-up to World War I, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_Telegram Mexico then made it clear that they would not be joining an anti-U.S. alliance in the near term, and relations were kept quite cordial throughout. Your argument proves the exact opposite of what you're expecting it to.

No I don't offhand, my girlfriend at the time was doing a climate change project and that was one of the sources so theoretically I could find it. It was on Glen Beck, I found one but it wasn't the one I saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xquohKzR8QI , here Lomborg says good to be back so I guess that means he was on at least one time before.

I remember in the interview I saw they were in the same room, this one is over a video call.
I like to think of the Django Admin framework as a developer superpower. I have built whole apps just with it, no need to build your own views. Perfect for internal tools.
I think their point might have been that Unity forgot that lesson. And everyone else, transitively, along the chain.

As horrible and impracticable as it sounds, the only way to prevent this happening is to read the source of every (/transitive) dependency you install. Yes, we can trust people, and yes, we can blame them when they betray our trust - we can even prosecute them - but as this shows, that's not always going to stop people. And it's certainly not going to stop attackers who gain control of those dependencies.

This is something we really need to think about as a profession. I would favour a system where dependencies are restricted to pure computation only (no syscalls) and any greater permissions must be granted explicitly. But that's extremely onerous, and likely - for many devs - to lead to a 'just click yes' mentality; even besides that, there are doubtless many cases it won't prevent. All I'm sure of is that we can't continue like this.
Did you try unplugging and plugging it back in?

If that doesn't work, you should be able to find a factory reset button. Look for a hole you can stick a paper clip in, and power cycle with the button depressed.

Once you do that, call your ISP and ask for the default password.

In short, if you impose a U(1) symmetry on your Lagrangian, you get electromagnetism. Basically you do the action of U(1) and enforce that the equation of motion does not change. That gives you the electromagnetic force (a photon).

You will very much test positive for Covid if you’re vaccinated and boosted. I’m not aware of anyone on either “side” that say anything different. I tested positive when I had it in December as well as most other people I know that got it.

But we do know that Covid isn’t going anywhere and we aren’t going to beat it like we did Smallpox. That isn’t a controversial opinion either. No one on either side has claimed otherwise. At this point, you will eventually get a strain of Covid unless you never leave the house or socialize with anyone.

But that goes back to my main question. What are you going to do except accept the inevitable and start living life like you did pre-2020?

The only thing I can do is follow the mainstream medical advice and get tested often just to be considerate of others.

At this point the only time I wear a mask is when it’s mandated or when I’m going to the grocery store or drug store. Those are places people have to be even if they are immune compromised.

SpaceX is cheaper for rockets, but they also aren't in the business of making space telescopes, so that's a complete strawman.
>a very specific slide that Apple showed claiming they were faster than the fastest GPU

That is not what the slide showed. The slide shows Apple's chip reaching the same performance numbers given the same amount of power delivery on each GPU. The Verge, this PC Gamer article, and you, are conveniently missing that clearly presented metric.
Shocks, struts and other suspension parts. After 10 years and 170k miles they were well worn.. these get a lot of wear and are not well lubricated,if only because unlike an engine they cannot be sealed.

Yea, I don't know what the barrier is. But there is some barrier. I would think that by now, and this hobby of make 8-bit CPUs is by no means "new", there would be some "oh, Frank did that and has a circuit" so that, at least, everyone makes a stab at using Franks video subsystem.

But, nothing.
