Ask HN: Is there a tool for tracking local dev machine performance?
I recently upgraded my dev computer and had a huge performance improvement. My build times literally decreased 80%. Turns out that really just brought me slightly ahead of the rest of the team, and my old computer suuuuucked (2019 Macbook Pro with severe thermal issues).

Is there any tool for tracking performance metrics like that on individual machines and sharing them with the team so no one has to suffer in silence, thinking that everyone is as slow as them?

I'm sure my company would have upgraded me earlier if they or I had known how much time I was wasting.
> Is every product user liable when a vendor ships some stolen code?

The user would be unlicensed, and in lieu of the vendor resolving this then the user would need to purchase licences to continue using the software legally (ie if a vendor gives you a pirate version of photoshop, you can’t just use it forever just because someone sold it to you).

There are usually clauses in enterprise software agreements that attribute liability for unlicenced components to the vendor for this reason. But ultimately if there isn’t a contract or the vendor vanishes, the user will need to go get a licence.

If you want to test the theory, I’ll send you a few images to put on your website, and when you get a claim through from the copyright owner you can try to argue that I sent it across without a copyright notice so I am liable ;)

South Park also put it well when they understood that total abstinence is not the only way to deal with the situation. Maybe all it takes is a little discipline.

After all, there's a passive danger in many things we do or neglect to do.

Hyperbolic headlines plus the fact the people tend to not read anything except the headline (a form Lem's law IMO) is part of the disinformation problem.
Whoever was ranking Delphi was probably doing that based on their past experience from 20 years ago.

Delphi evolved from TurboPascal and TP was one of most universally and genuinely adored tools in the late 80s - early 90s. And it was in fact beautifully functional and super fast. Delphi retained most of that even if it acquired some bloat in the process, and it also inherited a lot of goodwill. It sort of dwindled into near non-existence since then, but the whiff of its awesomeness lingers.
Supreme Court overturns New York law on carrying concealed weapons
Yep, that's problem for sure.

Where I live, local footpaths are cleared almost as fast as roads (local HOA/town management does it). The main mixed-use trail sometimes gets plowed, depends on the municipality and timing/availability (it's 50 miles long, almost straight, and spans 4+ counties/towns).

Bike lanes that are adjacent to roads are usually full of snow from the car lane. And intersection corners are usually 12+ inches of wet slush/ice water that catches and doesn't drain. So walking or riding in these areas is impossible. It sucks - I usually walk to work (1 mile from office) but can't in the snow because I can't cross major intersections without walking through that wet slush at the corners. Such poor design.
>The technique is NOT to argue the truthfulness of a belief, but to focus on the reason for the belief.

That would be where good epistemology comes in. We're concerned with the quality of the knowledge (rather than its truthyness).
I see your UAF and raise you a bleed!

As you know, buffer bleeds like Heartbleed and Cloudbleed can happen even in a memory safe language, they're hard to defend against (padding is everywhere in most formats!), easier to pull off than a UAF, often remotely accessible, difficult to detect, remain latent for a long time, and the impact is devastating. All your RAM are belong to us.

For me, this can of worms is the one that sits on top of the dusty shelf, it gets the least attention, and memory safe languages can be all the more vulnerable as they lull one into a false sense of safety.
No, PornHub doesn't have liability in a lot of cases because of 17 § 512, but has still had to deal with liability in general, which is why they nuked some 80% of their library not backed by verified individuals a while back.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

A huge part of 17§512 is the DMCA takedown process mainly in 17§512(c)(3). Does Microsoft even have the ability to truly remove training data from the model? Or do they have to retrain on each DMCA takedown?

This is simply false. I'm not going to discuss pricing here but, with Dabs and several forms of in-take you do not need to spend 100/day to be stoned all day. I live in a recreational state(Lived here for 13 years while it could ruin your life).

Why does Microsoft claim they take backward compatibility so seriously, while at the same time requiring programs to make changes like this to keep existing functionality working on new OS versions?
IMO we should be parameterizing solutions, not prescribing them.

Any thing which produces < X grams of CO2 per KM should be subsidized. (or whatever the real metric should be).

2 problems arise if not done that way

1. The market distorts away from suitable alternatives towards specific items (which may only been greenwashed, btw)

2. As future products progress they actually are disincentivized despite being superior, unfortunately laws and governmental programs seem to be sticky long beyond their usefulness
>In my opinion, the biggest issue for a Switch successor might be that for most great indie games, the console is already powerful enough.

This is much less of a problem for Nintendo, their hardware is always significantly behind that of MS and Sony so they have plenty of technical headroom to grow into.
Funny, I have spent a ton of time around Rails code where I dearly wished we had a state machine, because the alternative was an unorganized cluster of home-grown "state transition" glue without any consistent way of handling it, with all the weird-ass edge cases and split-brain BS that come with it.
> This line of thinking is based on a fundamentally flawed view of google. In almost all cases, you are _not_ the customer. You are the product. A business does not provide service to it's product.

Who is the product when a musician plays at an arena? Great you quoted a saying that came up post internet but that in no way absolves them of any behavior they might do. I can't believe in all seriousness you will compare people humans to either animals or 'products'. Absurd.

> They have a massive pile of money in no small part because they do not build massive service centers staffed with thousands of people who each need health care and computers.

No issue with people making money. And as I said doesn't matter if they make money or not anyway. The fact is you should not have a service free or otherwise that people use that causes as much anxiety and pain.
Around room temperature, an ideal silicon transistor has a 60 mV/decade subthreshold swing, which (roughly speaking) means that a 10-fold increase in current requires at least a 60 mV increase in gate potential. There are some techniques (e.g. tunneling) that can allow you to get a bit below this, but it's a fairly fundamental limitation of transistors' efficiency.

[It's been quite a while since I studied this stuff, so I can't recall whether 60 mV/decade is a constant for silicon specifically or all semiconductors.]
The value is in the data and the trained weights, the implementation is not where the bottleneck is in term of reproducing those models.

Still great work from the author though, but we most definitely cannot say that imagen is released.
That's what I mean. I meant it in the least judgmental way possible (fat lotta good that did, eh?). I feel that "we" Americans keep looking for "quick fix" cures, and people are more than willing to sell them to us, but the classics never go out of style.
Dynamic Shell Script-Server
Don't get me wrong, I know this (copyright abolition) is pie-in-the-sky stuff. I'm using an anon account to post because even advocating for it could be troublesome for employment. But I don't accept we have to be meek or have small goals in talking about this ideological stuff. And I think this has made me realise why I find the Free Software vision so disappointing and weak. And hence why I find all these (ideologically) Free Software aligned takes of sending Billy to jail for a thousand years so irritating.
It's difficult to exploit, but possible.

I think the actual issue here is environment accreditation not allowing the use of sha-1 at all, but that is still rare. It'll become a much larger issue if a future FIPS standard ever disallows sha-1, because that will impact a ton of environments. It means git won't even work on your servers any more.

I worked at a business (in ruby) where the entire core logic of the app was a state machine, as an idea the thought was good, a state machine modeled order flows pretty well, but in practice it was very slow and the amount of side effects that had to be considered as the business grew just compounded this.

It got to the point where this state machine approach was a real bottleneck and though I left before it was resolved last I heard they had to put real engineering time in to move off of it.

Be very careful when deciding to go this route.
FreeBSD also.
What NVIDIA predominantly does on their consumer cards is limit the RAM sharing, not the RAM itself. The inability for each GPU to share RAM is the limiting factor. It is why I have RTX A5000 GPUs and not RTX 3090 GPUs.
Found it the opposite and it completely put me out of work on NixOS as it starts pulling in a separate JVM and its internal Python was missing libraries and it then pulled unpatchelf'd bins from around the net. The Python-like config language is off-putting too.

This is one of the reasons why Go has its own versioning system. From a project's `go.sum`:

example.com/example v0.0.0-20171218180944-5ea4d0ddac55 h1:jbGlDKdzAZ92NzK65hUP98ri0/r50vVVvmZsFP/nIqo=

Where "h1" is an upgradeable hash (h1 is SHA-256). If there's ever a problem with h1, the hash can be simply upgraded.

Git's documentation describes how to sign a git commit:

$ git commit -a -S -m 'signed commit'

When signing a git commit using the built in gpg function the project is not rehashed with a secure hash function, like SHA-256 or SHA3-256. Instead gpg signs the SHA-1 commit digest directly. It's not signing the result of a secure hash algorithm.

SHA-1 has been considered weak for a long time (about 17 years). Bruce Schneier warned in February 2005 that SHA-1 needed to be replaced. Git development didn't start until April 2005. Before git started development, SHA-1 was identified as needing deprecation.
THEN WHY ARE WE YELLING?!!

I DON'T KNOW!
State machines are harder to update than regular code as your understanding of the domain changes, which often leads to suffering.
I'm surprised by the paucity of opinions in favor of the hybrid approach. And not a single article discussed on HN so far provided any statistics.

Your location alone is a huge factor. To say that commuting and offices in NYC are different from the Bay Area is to barely scratch the surface. In the Bay Area alone working in SF is different from the Peninsula. Large companies can afford cubicles and decent food which startups cannot.

As a side note, the popularity of leetcoding proves that there are too many candidates and companies need to cull them down by artificial means.

FWIW, the idea that weed is getting "stronger" isn't necessarily true. There have been growers and strains that could get 25%+ since the 70s. Its just that those techniques are more widely known/shared and these higher numbers are easier to get to for more growers because of this shared knowledge.

This article wasn't written for HN. It was written for the general audience that peruses Space.com. Because someone found it interesting and posted to HN is pretty much the only reason it is on HN. Space.com didn't submit it in hopes of gaining attention by a hypercritical audience.

Yes, I agree it is click bait. I'm just playing devil's advocate to some of your weaker arguments.
> I argue there is a big difference between giving something away as open source and giving something away and indirectly making money through e.g. advertising.

True. But OP's reply misses the point which is 'causes pain'.
Even these aren't universal though. For me, with ADD, my anxiety goes up when I'm not on stimulants, and the thing that destroys my sleep is intensive, creative coding. Alcohol doesn't do much to my sleep.

I think the most universal things everyone should be doing are: get more exercise, and get more sleep.

Interruptions make people forget ideas they had just developed. I send questions to my team’s chat channel all the time and someone will be available to answer pretty quickly (even after business hours), and my teammates also learn from reading the answer. I’m not blocked because I always have other tasks waiting.

Does GitHub verify that the code that is in my repository is actually in accordance to the license that I’ve added? I could just upload any proprietary code with an incorrect license, and GitHub would just use that to feed their AI. Like any other dependency that you incorporate into your application, GitHub should verify/audit whether the license allows them to do so.
I've seen and enjoyed quite a lot of those and, yes, there have been many great action-oriented films outside of Marvel (thankfully!). Mad Max: Fury Road is a real stand-out. Amongst the rest I've seen, I agree with you that they're better than at least the vast majority of Marvel movies, and I suspect the ones I haven't would also be better.

Still, my bigger point, is that I suppose I thought I was past the point where a movie could really wow me. Top Gun: Maverick completely disabused me of that (although I suppose it mostly means the bar is that much higher).

To return to Mad Max: Fury Road - it was fantastic but didn't leave me feeling blown away by the sheer spectacle of the thing like Top Gun: Maverick did, even though it was a spectacular movie, or like The Matrix had done 16 years before. Those flying and cockpit scenes in TG: Maverick, you really felt like you were there. I saw it on IMAX (which I'd highly recommend) and was on the edge of motion sickness it was that good.

I hope that makes more sense of what I'm trying to say: I wouldn't describe myself as a film buff, by any means, but I am someone who pretty regularly sees films at the cinema because, despite developments in home theatre, it's still tough to beat a screen that's 72 feet wide.
A) Public Quake is GPL. Just because someone else dumped it in an MIT library doesn't change that.

B) MIT still requires attribution to not infringe.

The hardware definitely makes a huge difference:

1. Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros., Splatoon, etc. are very similar to their Wii U counterparts, but the Wii U was a failure.

2. Hybrid gaming existed before the Switch (Super Game Boy, PSP 2000, PSVita/TV, iPhone/iPad...) but Nintendo executed it perfectly.

Yeah, exactly. Either way it proves nothing about a person or their life.

No; every chunk is for single, pre-determined use.

People are really thirsty to play with this tech, you can't blame them. Just search for dataset creators on Hugging Face. I'd link directly to several of them running but it would just overwhelm the creators. If you want to be in early you'll find them. The beautiful thing is open source is going to make this stuff available for everyone and in very short timeframe. It's crazy how fast it moves.
I think the intent is for this to be outrage inducing? That's actually an astonishingly small amount for an industrial fire.

Good thought - people with "high variance" tastes might buy an unusual number of duds, but they might also be more likely to pick breakout products. An analysis for that would need to include degrees of product success, not just survival.

My normal workflow to bootstrap cross-compilation with bazel is to create a dummy project with some dummy C/C++ file and build it. Then go into whatever bazel-X internal folder and extract the autogenerated bzl for the local system’s compiler. Then update it with my toolchain and strip it down (I hate the “features” feature) until it is somewhat understandable.

This is a _terrible_ DX.

> Linus shouldn't have used SHA-1 in the first place, it was already being deprecated by the time git got its original release.

Using SHA-1 to begin with was fine. However, commit hashes should have been prepended with a version byte to make it easier to transition to the next hash algorithm.

This would mean an old Git client could report an error to the user of the nature “please upgrade your software to support cloning from this Git server” instead of failing with an error that’s inseparable from “the Git server is broken” when trying to clone a Git repo using SHA-256.

While solar phenomena influences climate, this aspect is not human induced. We have put artificial satellites up there, in earth orbit, but they are not causing solar eruptions or solar flares. We don't understand solar "climate" enough to say that it's changing (cycle frequency, amplitude, etc).
Here is a test of your will power. Next time you see some junk food in your pantry, pick it up, take it to your outside garbage can, open the package, and dump it irretrievably into the container.
