medecine is highly emotional, if you give people the choice of doing nothing vs doing something/anything people will, out of shame, do that thing. There has to be a strong cultural, evidence based, or other, justification to do nothing. Probably not the case most of the time, and it's going to stay that way, because as you mentioned, there's a boatload of money to be made out of it and careers depend on it.
I felt the same way, but interesting that he grew up in South Korea. From what I gather, it's very similar to the Chinese system over there, particularly when it comes to maths. Endless rote learning and an overwhelming focus on standardized test results, to the exclusion of the type of slow, deep, "playful" learning referred to in the article.
> There's not a company in the world that spends more than $1m annually on cloud costs that has saved money by doing so. You don't go to the cloud to save money, you go to the cloud to reduce technological risk.

I don't know why I have to explain this every time "data center vs cloud" discussions come up, but if you reduce risks, then you are in effect saving money.

It's a while since I've used Mapbox but they were very strict and diligent about including OSM attribution back when I was building apps with it (2018). Have they really changed that drastically?
Yes, certainly, this isn't Jurassic Park.
Yeah, and look at Stranger Things, it started with a 6M per episode budget and now (due to massive success and fame the actors got their share) is at 30M per episode. That means season 1 was 48M and now season 4 is at 240M.
As a startup, the greatest benifit of cloud compute isn't the fact that I can scale up at the push of a button, but that I can scale DOWN at the push of a button. I want to test things on beefy systems, but I don't want to have to pay for those systems any longer than I need to use them. To me, this is the single best thing about cloud compute.

Once your start up has become an established company and are so busy that you are no longer able to scale down regularly, it seems that's the time to start having your own compute vs continuing to line the pockets of the cloud providers.
I've tried it a decade ago, and it wasn't ready back then. It was split between D1 and D2, and Tango and Phobos. That was super annoying, because whatever documentation or library you'd find, it was most likely for a different combination of D+std than you had.

Enjoy D now when it's more mature. The betterC switch is especially interesting.
It’s going to be interesting how badly this will fail _if_ they are focused on making an international success that also can be viewed in China…
Understand, we'll definitely think about the network part. Just in case it may help, if `nvidia-smi nvlink -gt d` is useful for you in this context then there is a related metric NVLink Throughput Rate to compare runs and monitor. At least you might get an idea whether/how internal links are utilized.
Yes yes, move the goalposts, nothing anyone ever says will ever convince you. Just typical HN commenter crypto stuff.

I absolutely LOVED BeOS back in the day

Though I understand why Apple chose to buy NeXT instead of Be in the 90s, I wish they'd bought both - NeXT to get Steve Jobs and NeXT's way of managing apps (where they're all self-contained directories) and Be to get far more intelligent (for lack of a better (and subjective) term) OS structuring

The BeOS API guide was a dream to work with

Native TCP/IP inter-process messaging, microkernels, Unix-esque (without being "Unix") directory trees, a positively lovely UI (tabs before tabs were "cool"), interapplication object embedding (that no one (not even Android or iOS/iPadOS with their widgets) has yet to accomplish (don't get me started on OLE from Microsoft - a brilliant idea, but stuck at the data level, and never the application level)), insanely-fast startup and formatting (even on janky, old hardware) ...

The OSS reimplementation is called Haiku: https://haiku-os.org

Hi!

The main advantage of being call based is that you wouldn't be bound to a single server. Having VCs behind servers is an extra step. Taking them out, and joining your friends' session rather than joining and making a discord server for every single friend group you have.

In essence I'm recreating the lobby experience from multiplayer games such as PUBG/Fortnite/L4D2 etc... where you hop in, and boom you have a session ready to go, and friends can see you, and join you directly(Not limited by being in the same server, all you have to be are friends).

I need to refine the marketing website to reflect that, but I feel like you would understand what I'm going for if you gave it a shot.

Thank you though, you make a very good point.
If I write a (non-human, not that that matters anyway) race and describe them as being of "ivory skin" vs "ebony skin" then it matters. If it's just regular people then it doesn't.

It depends on the setting.
The GP included Metal & Vulkan in that list, though. But at least in the case of Vulkan you do just have a single vkCreateBuffer for non-texture data. There's a usage bitmask, but that's more about ensuring you are told the right alignment and padding requirements.

CUDA, meanwhile, makes you just sort of "know" that from reading the docs. CUDA's model isn't simpler or friendlier here. It's the same complexity, "just" moved from API to documentation instead. At least, assuming you want to get anywhere close to the performance the hardware is capable of, that is.
This is what it did to me as well. Seemed to be picking up only the right side of my head, centered on my ear. I guess that means I can just double the number it gave me, right?
Yeah, it could have been a franchise for the ages, even maybe another Star Wars... maybe.

But that last season killed all that dead. Hell, there might have a way to rescue it until the last couple of episodes.

It was truly remarkable to watch potentially billions of dollars of future value evaporate in real time.

I dont believe for a moment that most devs, even at places like MS, are any better than devs anywhere else. You might get more specialization in things like compilers, but for end user UI, there are other companies much more dedicated.

Same can be said for all companies. Just because they are large doesn't make them composed entirely of competence or even excellence.
Yes, it seems that there's a similar problem on that site.
Blobs, trees, commits, refs, and index are not "internals" or "implementation details", they are the domain.

It's like how for a word processor the domain is text, et. al., or for e.g. Inkscape the domain is SVG.

Git has two levels, called "plumbing" and "porcelain" (I think.)

The "plumbing" (blobs, trees, commits, refs, and index) is elegant and easy to understand and use.

The "porcelain" is where everybody gets bogged down. I'll omit my own opinion (low) and just say that most of the problems people have with git seem to be related to trying to do complicated things with the crummy UX porcelain.

And that seems to be because they learned the porcelain but not the plumbing.

So what you're hearing is people advising people to learn the plumbing (as a side effect the porcelain becomes less unbearable.) In fact, if you know the plumbing you can write your own porcelain, and it's not hard and the code is brief because git is actually elegant and easy to understand and use.
Not a great list for that premise. The Amazon Lord series not only lacks stars, it lacks famous mid-tiers as well.

West World had Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, among others. These are mid tier actors that are quite well known (even though they're not superstars).

Breaking Bad had as its lead a very prominent television actor in Cranston. Malcolm in the Middle was a hit tv show that had a long run as far as TV shows go. He was already very TV-famous prior to Breaking Bad. Getting Cranston to carry Breaking Bad was them going with a TV heavy-weight with tons of experience and a deep familiarity for TV audiences.

You do have a point, it is annoying. I’ve written thousands of lines of zig code at this point, and I still frequently have to go back and fix things when the compiler informs me I left a variable or constant unused.

But I think it is less annoying than trying to figure out why things aren’t working at runtime. It’s an interesting trade off, but I appreciate zig trying something different here.
At almost every airport that FedEx has an operation at, there is another airport within 100 miles that could be used instead, managed by a different company. The barrier to changing is not controlled by the airports.

That's a competitive environment.

How many major cloud providers exist, and what could they do to make it difficult for FedEx to leaving for another one?
> The system in place attempts to balance the concerns of different areas instead of giving a veto to large cities.

No, it doesn't. The system in place simply gives the veto to rural, conservative areas instead.
I assumed it refers to the need for recipients to convert the foreign currency into local currency, thereby providing the national bank with that currency to use in international transactions. So it's not theft, it's supply and demand.

If they receive $600million USD from foreign remittances but have a fuel bill thats a billion USD, where are they going to get that extra currency from?
100k is a good down payment, surely you can find a beachside condo at 500k somewhere on the east coast. Can’t speak to the west coast.

You can likely get some revenue back from it by Airbnbing it out when you aren’t around.

Timeshares are an option, a lot of them are scams but some people do have success with them if you do your research.

Ultimately don’t make yourself house poor. 100k also buys a lot of stays at beach hotels or trips to Mexico, DR etc.
Is it a JS-specific limitation? Python works quite similarly.

People think automation will save humanity from the inverted population pyramid, but I think they are mistaken.

Automation is amazingly useful for building identical widgets, and also hopefully doing more unstructured tasks like picking certain fruits, but the cost and maintenance required for robots that can care for elderly people is probably going to be more than young people can sustain.
Agree, but an interesting point being made here is that as we continue to add more layers of separately-attributable infrastructure the attributions get quite unwieldy.

I don't have a conclusion from this, and if you're going to use something that requires attribution you should attribute. Maybe we just need better ways of giving that attribution. It's certainly easier in an interactive medium, with hyperlinks and collapsable sections than on paper.
lol, my score went up two points just changing to a different webcam, also can confirm this works completely offline

guess I know which webcam I'm using from now on! xD
You’re still just adding more regulation. More complexity and spaghetti laws aren’t going to solve things. Pre 1970s healthcare costs were in-line with the rest of the world. Revert the push to corporatize and socialize and we’d have cheaper care.

The fact employers pay for healthcare isn’t an issue. Who cares? It’s just part of compensation. I can take my money and do the same thing. No one will btw, they’d just buy cheaper insurance and have a higher out of pocket expense.

End-of-the-day Medicare and regulatory capture is the issue. I can’t go to my local store and get antibiotics, even if I have a test showing strep. Instead, I have to go to a doctors office. A doctor who is intentionally being made scarce (ie driving up demand). Then I get my antibiotics, but they request a follow up.

No amount of insurance wizardry will fix that scenario. You have to deregulate to fix it.

i do think, Insurance companies will insist you follow their rules to cut their costs. Making healthcare worse for you. Even if you were to deregulate, insurance will still be able to apply pressure. IMO ban insurance outright for medical related items. You have a right to medical privacy and the idea insurance is required is BS.
What? CUDA is intentionally granular and low level, why do you feel that is a negative thing at this level of abstraction? Are you suggesting the tools should be better so that doesn't have to be the case? I can't figure out what you're actually trying to express here.
The whole point of “dark matter” is it can’t be made of normal matter (ie quarks).

From an IT perspective, we know that the money is going to management and marketing department. And maybe a new pool for HHRR.
I grant I'm not as up on the CPU Wars™ as I used to be ... but when is the last time Intel offered anything in their mainstream (desktop and/or server) CPUs that was in any way new or interesting or compelling?

AMD seems to have won the the 64-bit x86 war (though Intel's hanging on for reasons I don't understand) in raw processing, cycles-per-watt, etc

ARM's got the mobile market (for now)

And RISC-V is the spunky upstart in the embedded (and, slowly, beyond) realm

What does Intel have going for it ... beyond name recognition?

>And not to involve Jackson seems off because even having him in a consulting role would be a good sign.

Didn't the Tolkein group basically disavow Jackson and said never again after fiasco known as The Hobbit? If that's true, then it makes a lot of sense not to involve Jackson in any new project blessed by the Tolkein powers that be.
> Wikipedia seems to treat sea level as being its true "base" as a sort of special case so it still comes in at #1

This is due to the definition of prominence, which is roughly "how far down do you have to go from the summit before you can go up to a higher point." This is undefined for the highest mountain, since there is no higher mountain to go up to, so height above sea level is used instead.
Which country if you dont mind me asking? I know of many similar stories about doctors typing stuff into google and prescribing paracetamol from the UK, Spain or Germany - but it's hard to imagine such a situation in central europe.

My experience among HN, and nerds in general is that it is common to find people who like to take a 'neutral' stance in a debate, verging on being the devil's advocate, and trying to find the good on both sides.

I think it comes both from a love of rhetoric and from a point of view that being a contrarian can make you appear smarter, or more interesting.

I know I've been guilty of such behavior.

I did not follow the Roe vs Wade thread specifically, so my view may be out of touch, but from what you describe it seems to be closer to this kind of behavior rather than actual conservatism
There seems to be some stereotyping of we people who like to see sh#t blow up. I am shocked. Truly, deeply shocked. And hurt.
You make it seem that something funny is going on with Everest's prominence. That's just the definition of prominence:

> prominence measures the height of a mountain or hill's summit relative to the lowest contour line encircling it but containing no higher summit within it

By definition, this means that the highest mountain's height is its prominence.

Now C++17 with NVidia parallel libraries is too granular and low level, what a joke.

Yes one can make use of the Assembly like low level APIs, which unlike OpenCL, are opt-in, not forced upon everyone.

Clever devs use the high level C++ and Fortran NVidia libraries.
'Within the next two years we’ll close the last few remaining data centers that we have, we’ll eliminate the final 20 percent of the mainframe footprint'

From the documentation on the PulseAudio module (the nix term for those 'enable = true' things) [1]:

> Explicit PulseAudio support in applications

> Normally, the system-wide ALSA configuration (/etc/asound.conf) redirects the audio of applications which use the ALSA API through PulseAudio. For this reason, most applications do not need to be PulseAudio-aware. Some NixOS packages can be built with explicit PulseAudio support which is disabled by default. This support can be enabled in all applicable packages by setting:

> nixpkgs.config.pulseaudio = true;

TLDR: Issue started happening after https://github.com/dell/dkms/commit/3323033dfdc5f58afc303736... was applied, Arch Linux users can fix it by adding `sign_file='/usr/lib/modules/${kernelver}/build/scripts/sign-file'` to their DKMS configuration.

This isn't yet featured on the Arch Linux homepage (https://archlinux.org/) under "News", so maybe this submission will at least help some people to not ending up with a temporary broken installation.
Access was huge. About 6 years ago I had to fix up a predecessors custom data logging program written in VB6 that used an access database. I had to patch a few things to eliminate hard coded paths and a fix for windows 7. First and only time I used VB6 and it was easy to dive into and figure out.
Yeah, this is a great explanation.

And it's not just characters they destroy, but beauty, any past tradition whether good or bad. It really is about dismantling everything. (and somehow magically once you dismantle everything some sort of equity based marxism is what we're supposed to have). Why is marxism as a philosophy immune to dismantling? That's the million dollar question...
Make that JS+Python then. OTOH languages that can spawn threads and use synchronization primitives are able to bridge sync and async.

Human healthcare has 3rd parties subsidizing the bills. This makes consumers price immune. Plus most surgeons can't tell you accurately how much the total bill with be because insurers pay different rates for same procedure.

I agree. 99% 'people at the top' probably don't even know what IP is. Much less IPv6 migration problems.

However, the point of an xyz 'administration' is that they they take credit or blame for the work of faceless bureaucrats.
I find git reasonably understandable as long as you are using a GUI. When you have a GUI, every action you take provides you visual feedback, so it's way easier to understand the purposes of merges, rebeases, stashes, and resets. My understanding of git workflow greatly improved thanks to it.
CUDA is absolutely fine just like x86 assembly is absolutely fine. They are well thought out. What I am saying is that from my perspective they are as granular and difficult, and programming directly in them for even small projects is not a good idea. GPU programming is, at the moment, stuck in 1960's way of thinking, as there are multiple people writing CUDA code by hand.

It's not exercise.

It's the balance between calories consumed versus calories burned.

Swimming famously burns an immense amount of calories both due to being an endurance sport as well just maintaining body temperature in a body of cool water.
