Those were all proximal causes, not ultimate causes. I don't think she was a victim, I'm not an apologist, but the way google fired her was still rather unprofessional and had some severe consequences for the people who did it which are obviously still playing out today. What's amazing is that if they're put her on a pip for textually assaulting her coworkers, she would have been gone in 6-12 months without as much noise.

Yes, getting LBR data from production workloads is the whole ballgame for AutoFDO/SamplePGO and BOLT/Propeller. You cannot access the LBR on any EC2 machine short of a "metal" instance.
How much does it matter? Everyone's practically forgotten that compviz and Midjourney were just in the past few months, Sberbank has ruDALL-E which largest model is somewhere between DALL-E 1 and 2, FB has Make-A-Scene which is somewhat below GLIDE/DALL-E 2, and Tsinghua's Cogview2 paper was released just days ago and is claiming roughly DALL-E 2 parity. AI capabilities are advancing fast enough that whether or not OA releases something, there will be competitors soon. (Heck, you want a GPT-3 competitor? There's like a dozen of them of similar or better quality, several of which are public or API - BigScience, Aleph Alpha, & AI2 come to mind.)
SpiderMonkey, while it isn’t the best performing, its code is pretty straightforward. It also seems to be embeddable on its own, unlike V8.

I'm pretty sure that lots and lots of companies are collecting and selling data.

What I really wonder is whether disclosure of these sorts of leaks is selective. I suspect it is. The point being that in showing one or 2 cases, and then showing the system taking a retrospective action, gives the impression that we are being protected. I suspect that grindr has been selected as a sacrificial lamb (of little consequence - eg its not tinder) - and will possible be put through some legal process and appear to be made an example of.

If so, the news will have some headlines, and it will appear that the governance process is doing its job.

I don't think we are being protected though - it would be easy to pass legislation that made these sorts of actions illegal. What is being protected is the reputation of those businesses undertaking the collection. The cost is that we are kept in ignorance of how bad and systemic the situation really is.

Looking at the graphs, it uses less CPU for a given throughout, so it’s actually more efficient for CPU. It also provides lower latency and higher max throughout. It does seem to require more memory, though.
I was never sure how much of the $7.5B is Bethesda vs sister and parent companies . This deal makes it seem like it’s over $7B of it, but there were a decent amt of sister companies making thing.

Epic Games was just valued at $31.5B in their latest funding round last month.
Did you read the rules before you posted your original snarky fulmination?
That was a good link, it seems like replacing corn with an alternative crop really is the sensible direction.

There is something of note in the methodology behind the figures though:

“We apply our models only domestically”

Throughout the years of this study, the US imported most of its gasoline. The production emissions are excluded. It’s not comparing like with like.
I've been using the Trackpoint for almost 20 years now and I never had any problems with it. Not exclusively though, for desktop applications I still use a mouse.

But for couch surfing at home I haven't used a mouse in years.
never mind. figured it out from github. this is cool.
That's the one thing it's actually good at. But it is very good at that. If you're still at the level where you're using breadboards & through-hole parts for everything (i.e. before you learn to solder) it's a nice tool.

Once you learn to solder you can make PCBs and work with higher-speed components than breadboards can support, then you'll want something that's actually slightly decent for PCB design. Fritzing is about the same level of help as manually cutting out mylar tape, you want something with actual design rule checking.
The University of Chicago is a private institution with a research budget of many billions of dollars per year. Given the extreme difficulty of believing the government of the city of Chicago provides even a tiny fraction of those billions of dollars in research funding, I'll have to ask you for citations or data to support those aspersions you're casting on the university and it's researchers.

We live in a time when there are strong anti-intellectual threads and forces among some parts of the media. It's easy to cast aspersions against researchers. The fact that you've heard someone in the media say these things doesn't make the aspersions true.

Jam | Full-Stack Engineer Javascript, React | REMOTE (US) | Full Time |
www.jam.ai

Our mission is to connect audio creators with listeners to communicate ideas, information, and entertainment. We’re building a new consumer platform where creators can easily communicate their ideas through bite-size audio, “Just a Minute” or so long.

My co-founder, Pete, and I founded Jam out of our passion for audio and our love of building consumer products. We had the shared experience of building high performing teams at LinkedIn, and the most important thing we can do right now is to build a spectacularly strong founding engineering team.

I am hiring experienced engineers skilled in Javascript/Typescript, React, React Native, and Node.js.

If you’d like to hear more, you can listen to our Jam: Building Jam ( https://j4m.ai/QMCtgM). In a recent episode, I talk about why I’ve been coding after a decade of leading teams at LinkedIn (https://j4m.ai/1QgnMD).

Job site isn’t up just yet, so if you’re interested, please send your resume or profile to cpruett@jam.ai. I’d love to share more details about our vision and learn more about what drives you.
Time is the direction in which entropy always increases. It's the most real thing there is.
The linuxsever.io community is great - but this is a good example of how intensely technical setting up a "home lab" is.

If you're interested in this set of features (home hosting with "zero-trust" reverse proxying, dynamic DNS, authentication for self-hosted apps, etc), you might be interested in what we're building over at https://kubesail.com - one day we might even be profitable and item #1 on that day will be a nice donation back to the linuxserver.io community <3
The Pentagon has access to lots of talent, the problem is that the talent is exceedingly poorly utilized. One Marine reservist I know trains ML models for a hedge fund and the Marines have him working as a cook on weekends.

If the president needed all hands on deck tomorrow, the personnel systems couldn't find 25% of "people who know linear algebra and can write python" for all the tea in China. If you gave them 10 years and $50 billion, maybe.
This is very reminiscent of the m:n thread support of Java on Solaris. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19620-01/805-4031/6j3qv1oej/inde...
I use Arch on my Pinephone (https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch) and I have used it for the last year. Call audio quality (outgoing) is very poor for me (I think I need to configure ALSA or something). SMS and MMS now work well. Web browsing works. Everything is quite slow (2-10 second delay to open calls/messages/web browser).

Previously I used SXMO and Mobian. SXMO is fun to script. I got tired of having to script everything after a while. Mobian works out of the box. But they don't have the newest software, so I switched to Arch.
Big fan of these with Linux.

Have used T42, T500, T440p, X1E gen2 throughout the years, all with versions of Fedora.

Most things just work.

The X1E gen2 needed a bit work to curb (idle) power consumption. The SD card reader would prevent the CPU package from entering C10, and the fans were always running even when the machine was not warm.

I have the version with the NVidia dedicated GPU, which works pretty well. It's off most of the time, and is only turned on when needed.

Idle power consumption is now as low of 3.9w.
I pretty strongly disagree with this. The advantage of using TODO for everything, is that it's easily searchable, and you don't have to try to guess/remember, which labels are used for your comments. If your task is more nuanced than a simple TODO, you can explain in the description after the keyword. The purpose of the keyword is to make it easy to find and take action on in the future, and moving away from using a single keyword makes it easier to miss a comment and harder to take action.
It's a shame that LineageOS doesn't let you spoof apps with bogus data anymore. It's much easier to let them think they're getting permissions than try to play whack-a-mole with opt out settings that could get reset at any time by bad actors.
I find it highly questionable, that John Deere can do this. People should buy from alternative manufacturers instead of supporting such practices.

That being said, I have seen right to repair videos on YT where owners have hacked their own tractors, so they can be repaired by the guy who was always repairing them and not by Apple.
It would still serve its purpose even if you spoofed your location to be somewhere nearby or elsewhere. Nobody needs to be able to figure out exactly where specific users are/live/work via the platform.

I always fall into this infinite depth problem when I start thinking of the Pareto principle too. I resolve it by identifying the principle as a soft guideline for prioritizing work, not as an objective truth of everything
Which still requires the assumption of well behaving control flow.

Most brakes don't actually lockout engine operation, because there are cases where you want the engine to rev while the brake is applied.

Just because at first blush it seems the use case is pointless, doesn't mean it is.
Booli | Stockholm, Sweden | ONSITE | Full-Time | https://www.booli.se

I wonder if these types of articles would get a lot less attention if the title was something less assertive like "Consider replacing TODO with something more specific".
Just so you know, a significant portion of the population who are sensitive to fragrances experience a great deal of suffering due to perfumers and chemists. Did you know that chemicals like propane are classified as a scent?

The scent industry has funded an information warfare campaign against these sufferers to paint them as psychologically imbalanced. Even though empirical evidence shows that it isn't psychological the mechanism is not understood. No, I'm not making it up, even though I can't imagine how somebody would do such a thing.
A long time ago, when I lived within dating distance of the default coordinate (maybe City Hall?) of a global-destination city, a dating site I used introduced a feature that let users set their locations manually. Within hours of rollout, the site was completely unusable due to being full of people from around the world saying "I wonder what the dating scene in $city is like?".
It always amuses me when Europeans are confused by the lack of good public transit in much of the USA. Come visit here and use our public transit and you'll see why we like cars.
I have one - prime offloading works exactly the same as on Intel. As far as external displays it's very simple, when I plug one in it is owned 100% by the NVidia GPU. Which is not an issue because I have access to AC.
Tell HN: It's Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. If you are suffering from depression, anxiety or are experiencing any sort of mental distress, please seek help.

The easiest way to find help is to search for "therapist in {your city}". If you believe you need medication, you can ask your primary care physician for help and they can refer you to a psychiatrist.

If you're new to therapy, you should know that one of the most successful approaches to treating depression and anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy. Be sure to ask your prospective therapist if they have received training in that approach.
Pandoc will create self-contained documents with the '-s' switch. It's also pretty easy to use a custom template as well. You can go from markdown (or asciidoc or whatever) to plain but templates HTML with a single command. You then have an HTML file you can stick anywhere.
I was shocked at my first uni cafeteria dishwashing job. Plates coming back literally full, untouched.
FCC Commissioner Addresses Musk’s Acquisition of Twitter
When you zoom out a little it makes a lot of sense. FF15 and FF13 were both failures, company had serious financial issues before FF14 took off. Hopefully you will get to enjoy FF16, and making that game wouldn’t have been possible without the success of 14.

FFXIV also has the least addictive qualities of any MMO I have played in my experience. There’s very little FOMO & you’re encouraged to play at whatever pace you enjoy. Many players just play through the story and treat it as a mostly single player game.

Yes, this one million times over. I have went from home-rolled React to Jekyll to Gatsby to Hugo and now seriously considering just doing my own HTML/CSS. Practically, I have rarely run into the issues other markup languages and SSGs are supposed to fix and more often, I find their constraints actually limiting/complicating my fairly simple desires. If I want to add movie/album reviews, rather than just making /reviews directory with some files and some basic CSS, I get stuck thinking about Hugo "archetypes" and templates and _index.md and layouts and all of this baggage. I wanted to add support for my site to use my custom "CSS as S-expressions" parser [0], but got turned off by the idea of integrating Hugo "pipelines" or "assets" or all of that. Not to mention that this grows ever more overwhelming if I take a months-long break and have to Google how to start my own blog server! Then I look at RMS' site and, ugly as it is, it has held up and looks way easier to update and less constrained by any premeditated structure/hierarchy.

A tech lead role is different from a management role.

The TL is the person who the buck stops with on technical discussions. While part of the job is providing mentoring for junior engineers, they aren't directly responsible for performance management, headcount allocation, etc, in the same way that a people manager is, and people don't usually directly report to them in the org chart.

By definition, no large engineering effort is solitary. It makes sense for the more senior eng to be responsible for the decisions that will affect more people, and that requires talking to and understanding them. If people want the senior eng title, they need to be able to do that kind of work.
Isn't WSL2 still IPv4-only? That's why I uninstalled it years ago.
"Buy it again" is simply a name for the PostgresML project that the model is being trained for.

There is deeper explanation in the README:

It cannot. For it to exist, it will have to occupy itself.
> brakes are always more powerful than the engine

That's really not true at all. Generally, as braking systems pick up heat, they become continually less and less efficient at slowing the car down and will eventually stop working entirely. This will be especially true when fighting against an engine running at wide open throttle. It's called brake fade.
The Tokio async stack for Rust (https://tokio.rs).

They did a really nice job of building thin layers up the stack from byte buffers (bytes), to async-friendly logging (tracing), basic IO (mio), async runtime (tokio), generic request/response services (tower), HTTP (hyper), and a web framework (axum).

Each of the layers are useful independent of the other layers above, and every one is has a thoughtfully designed, pragmatic interface.

Will it be possible to connect to a running Kandria with a SLIME REPL? (If so, I’d consider buying a copy just for the fun of that.)
> Malthusian claims were BS

The Green Revolution merely raised the ceiling massively higher. It did not perform any magic to make it permanently vanish.
I'll ask another one: Does it matter, whether time exists? If we go with the idea, that time merely describes a number state changes of the universe, then it might not matter, whether time actually exists.
Capitalization of Vendor-Prefixed CSS Property Names in JavaScript
I've done this too (commenting with the ticket # - well, link to ticket), and it's worked quite well for me/us. It's fairly easy to follow the link & check on it, and it can also serve as a tombstone for why a particular issue isn't being addressed.
I don't think I've seen a worse email provider since the 00s
That's some hefty sleight of hand.
Because it's unnecessary in html5, just like closing li, td, tr tags. When you use implicit tags (body, header, etc) and auto-closing tags (li, p, tr, td,...) then html becomes refreshingly lean and human-editable.

EDIT: for a nice summary, look at google's html style guide. Section 3.1.7 is particularly neat [0].

That particular river was cleaned up in 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehabilitation_of_the_Pasig_Ri...

There are plenty of (older?) pictures of it covered in plastic online. I don't think there's any reason to doubt the author's picture.
I use Outlook at work and Mail (Microsoft Store app) at home. I suppose the main reason is that they have basically foolproof compatibility and functioning with their respective O365 and Outlook.com (formerly/via Windows Live Custom Domains) server counterparts.

Functionally they have what I need. I turn off the Focused Inbox feature in both as I have no problem with a little tedium. The rules system in both is good, though that runs server-side technically. I turn off conversation view nowadays, but have used it extensively in the past with massive threads and found it quite good (Outlook). Outlook's list views can be customized quite extensively, and the dark theme is good. Search works fine in both clients.

I have taken Outlook to somewhere around 100GB and over 1,000,000 emails back in the year 2013 and that worked fine. IIRC the OST was always 30-40GB, and I would shuffle things off to yearly archive PSTs.
