C++Amp has the easiest GPU allocation.

array<int, 128> myGPUArray;

That's it. Thanks to RAII, this will be malloc() upon the constructor being called, and free() when the destructor is called.

A proper C++ language, with proper RAII and integration would be best. C++Amp played around a little bit with some concepts, but it seems to have died off in 2014.

There's also "array_view", which serves as an automagic pointer, that copies data "when the system determines it needs to be copied". (Using a C++ future-like system to block when the CPU-side is accessing before the GPU-side is done writing, and vice versa).

"Array" in C++Amp is similar to cudaMalloc. array_view is pretty nifty overall, and I like the idea of transfers being abstracted away by blocking / futures (besides: CUDA itself has blocking calls to kernels, so its not a completely alien concept).

High speed CPU/GPU interaction would be hampered by array_view (too much automagic), but having a simpler interface and less boilerplate code is a good idea IMO.
Pretty much!

The language does support limited sugar for tuples without parentheses in some specific cases, such as `match` and `let`:

let x, y = 5, 4 in
...

match x, y in
| 4, 7 => None
\ _, y => Just y

However, these cases only incidentally lower to tuple pattern matching, and deliberately hide the fact that tuples are used internally.
Kind of... maybe... there are some interesting problems with various sources.

First, not sure about the process that generates them. Saying "they came from an active galactic nuclei is ok... but how did they get accelerated to such energies?

The next problem is that being so highly energetic, they should be interacting with the cosmic background radiation if they're traveling about 160 mLy which would drain off some energy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin_limit ) and there are some observations that appear in violation of that limit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh-My-God_particle )

https://www.quantamagazine.org/cosmic-map-of-ultrahigh-energ... is also interesting to look at (very neat visualization).

Part of the problem is that we're not entirely sure what they're made of. Most theories have been working on the "they're protons" assumption, but other approaches with having them be heavier nuclei means that they don't need to travel as fast to have the same amount of energy (which also changes the equation for the GZK limit as that applies to protons).
Why publishing a page on the topic of sustainability, and the page (markup) is 257KB big, when 54KB is the author's HTM and and the rest, _four fifths_, are visitors' comments?!

Alright, how great is HN?

Today, few hours ago, I was thinking: "My nextcloud on SSD@RPI is superslow to render thumbnails for photos. I'v tried once to configure which thumbnails must be prerendered, but I failed and... isn't there a simple web photo album that I can hook my nextloud photos to?"

Yesterday I was disappointed that is doesn't show ANY thumbnail for my videos taken on Android.

And this post mentions PhotoPrism [1]! Feature page looks nice - exactly what I need for my mess of unorganized photos.

Have to try it out. Hope I don't find myself disappointed.

It sounds a bit like the bodybuilding method of bulking and cutting.
Why does anime have a gender bias?
Because the world is going to hell in a hand-basket, and no-one else is going to look after you when you get old? (i.e., the original reason for having kids).

It it worth noting, I don't have kids (don't like them, they have no conversation)
I'm personally happy to stay inside Apple's ecosystem, but believe that everyone should have the option to choose. This looks like good news, a step in the direction of being more in control of the devices we buy.
I get where you're coming from, but it doesn't hold water when you reach the scale of a company like Amazon, for the time periods we're talking about.

The entire retail market is being undercut by Amazon Retail. Competition is being reduced to fewer and fewer competitors- which is bad for the consumer in the long run. All the while, Amazon retail can afford to lose hundreds of millions of dollars per year, over and over again, because AWS makes up the difference. They can afford to build hundreds of high tech warehouses to reduce their costs further, all from the income from AWS.

I don't know what the right answer is, but I don't think it's okay that things are operating this way.

(And lets not even get into the abuse of customers and merchants on their retail marketplace, which frankly to me are enough that the government should have intervened long ago.)
This is huge. Forcing Apple to allow app side-loading, third-party payments, etc is going to wrest away control of the iOS ecosystem (and eat pretty heavily into their revenues [1]

I hope some of these regulations spill over into the U.S. and the rest of the world.
I believe it has also come up a few times in other forms. There was a post about the use of dithering, then another post in response to that, and so on.
He totally learned Abstract Algebra from Dumas.
Correct. I don't care which government is in question, though. None are worthy of my trust or data.
Happy that I might be able to install something else than Safari. I want the Gecko engine on iOS. Sad that being in UK probably means we'll ignore it because "Brexit." I got a text the other day telling me that, since we've left the EU, roaming charges are back. Hurray!

Without making this about politics, this is a great step forward. Still unsure how Apple & co. will make their proprietary video and messaging platforms "interoperable". I doubt they'll be writing an RFC any time soon.
I’m wondering if this is scaled so 5 is quite low and 1-5 should be non-existent. Giving someone a 1 vs a “5” feels a little mean.
I still love the original animated hobbit. The pacing was a mess, but there was something about the creativity in the animated films of the 70’s that we’ve lost I think. Wouldn’t translate to a modern audience, but I love that, i dunno I’ve been calling it “leather bound fantasy” feeling.
Could it simply be far travelled gamma-ray bursts? Not sure how it works, if tiny bits of them towards Earth can survive very far, without far less likely extinction events. Just trying to think of extremely energetic sources…

Of course, we aren’t entirely sure of what GRB’s come from either :D
There's a few states in the USA with similar numbers but most every state is far below. And if you were to take the entire country it would be far below the UK numbers.

So the bills will resurface during the next bubble?

Now would be the perfect time to start accepting those payments if they planned to anyway, but ok.
Agree with the list, except that I will never buy TPlink Kasa stuff again after they (from my Home Assistant perspective) bricked my HS110. Strange enough I now read that they have super nice support (Platinum level) [0]? Did they do a 180? I remember that page basically told us to avoid Kasa like the plaque? Can I dust off my HS110 again? Here is some info on what happened just before I stopped using any Kasa stuff: [1].

Anyway, I've been very happy with my Shelly plug-S's, I use them everywhere, very nice with the Home Assistant Energy dashboard. I can even tell from my server power usage now when some process has gone haywire.

No, it's good news! No more forced crappy webkit browser engine in iOS. The other things can be added in a secure fashion as well. Sideloading doesn't need to be wild west. macOS also makes it possible with certificates etc. Messanger interop is also nice, when done right: basically would need a shared standard like the web that is done by a messaging consortium like the W3.
Because most of the distros you use have the same structure. Just because most distros won't violate this doesn't mean some (Guix for example) won't.
So in the end we basically get the worst of both worlds. Sigh.
Wait, so everything reduces down to Heinz condiments? Edit: seriously though what is this about 57... did I miss their joke? It's in the title but not in the article... I have a PhD in geochemistry and the article didn't really make any sense to me... Clustering minerals by formation mechanism and era? Why? I guess I'd have to read the paper.

Edit2: I guess it's just a big reference catalog. Cool.
Exactly because tsp variants are exponentially combinatorial we solve them with a strict time limit and use the best found solution.

So for practical applications they are constant time.
I wonder if it would make more financial sense for Apple to withdraw from EU market, rather than complying.

The numbers for 2021 are pretty much in line:

$89B - Apple sales in Europe (including some non-EU countries, most notably UK)

$85B - Apple AppStore revenue worldwide.

The question is: which one has more potential for growth.
Ah, blueman wasn't in my distro's repositories for the longest time, which led me to believe it was unmaintained. Apparently it was incompatible for a while, but that's now been fixed.
>How about the repeated obsession with female characters who can easily beat up men?

The thing you complain about is in the source material. Remember? "No man can kill me", "I am no man", stab stab stab.

>But watching these women beat up men is laughable tbh. Maybe ask some famle survivors of domestic violence how they feel about this.

How is that any different than tiny weak Hobbits killing giant spiders and otherwise being the heroes of the story?

Weak actually being strong is a repeating theme across the fanatasy/superhero/comic genre. And since they're primarily written by physically weak nerds the motivation is obvious. Now that women are being included in the process they're doing the same thing for the same reasons.

The network traffic price is absolutely vital. This is essentially the ransom that the cloud provider holds on you for leaving.
That's funny, my reasoning comes from the opposite end of the ego spectrum - creating a blog or any other kind of social media presence means putting myself out there and inviting attacks on my ego. So I avoid doing so to protect my ego. Anytime I think of doing a writeup of something and sharing online, my subconscious starts thinking about how people will perceive and judge my work and I scram back into my ego shelter. I won't have to face feedback and criticism if no one hears about me or my work :D
Is it really necessary to attack Casey with this two bits sarcasm? You can disagree and still be polite for the sake of me taking you seriously, if not for his.
It's an unfortunate conflation between total functions and total functional programming, which is done with non-terminating languages. If I'm reading you right, Tao currently requires functions to be total but is not designed to always terminate.
No.

If a particle can decay into a lighter set of particles and still obey all of the conservation principles, they will. The heavier they are, the more they're going to decay and the more "options" they have to decay. An electron isn't going to do anything because there is nothing lighter than an electron that still carries charge, etc. Something much heavier, like a free neutron, will fall apart into a proton, an electron, and an anti-electron neutrino.

These particles have options galore as to what they can fall apart into being, and so they do, and with great haste.
It depends entirely on your perspective of the world.

Your perspectives seem incredibly negative and you seem to be super pessimistic about your future & the world's future, so it makes sense for you.

Other people have optimistic perspectives about their own future (making more than enough money in the future, building a social circle and "competing with their peers" ~ not sure what this means & how you're competing with your peers) so it makes sense for them to have children.
>"I believe companies selling bare metal as a service are a happy compromise of cost and convenience, though."

This is what I do. I rent bare metal from Hetzner and OVH. I also have some hosting hardware right at my place. It saves me a ton of money and no I do not spend any meaningful time to administer. All done by a couple of shell scripts. I can re-create fresh service from the backup on a clean rented machine in no time.

As for cloud - if I need to run some simulation once a month on some bazillion core computer then sure. Cloud makes much sense in this particular case. I am sure there are other cases that can be cost effective. Bot for the average business I believe cloud is a waste of resources and money.
I'm pretty sure they go over their data for quite a while before confirming new particles, so no it wasn't today's run.

Just no.

Kubernetes has it's roots in Omega which was a research project to explore improvements to Borg.

It was created/released as a direct response to increasing lock-in of AWS and Azure PaaS like services that were becoming an existential threat to GCP ever gaining any marketshare.

Unlike OpenStack it did actually manage to mostly achieve it's goal of preventing lock-in by creating a standardized API in which all distributions/managed-providers need to provide and actually certifying that they do. OpenStack failed in this regard because it was overrun by vendor interests too quickly and suffered poor governance. Additionally the leading vendors of the time simply ignored it because none of them offered a compatible API layer and none of them cared about any of the upstarts that did. Also it turned out very few people wanted to build their own IaaS if it would be incompatible with AWS and bursting would be awkward.

k8s successfully learnt from these mistakes.

So it's contributions are two-fold.

1) Single-handedly forced the other 2 major vendors to implement a standard API.

2) Created an infrastructure OSS ecosystem above this API layer that broadly has been successful with enterprise interests while abiding by the governance model set out by core k8s.

These alone make it a very successful project even if you disagree with the technical implementation/merits.
I don't think so. The EU market is pretty huge and financially strong. Maybe they will only allow sideloading and payment freedom for the EU with special iOS builds.
Oh wow, that's quite a list. I wonder if any of it will end up having retroactive effects because

I actually built the system you work on :). It was the main inspiration for this project because PyPika is not a great experience for data scientists.

As has been hinted at here, the fact that they included Strange Dogs into season 6 is a pretty clear hint that more is coming. There is no reason to include that if they aren't going to adapt the Laconia storyline at some point, since the only purpose of that story is to introduce us to this new planet and what the Mars rebels discovered there.

I suspect they're going for a film trilogy with a much bigger budget per minute filmed than the TV series. For one thing, some of the action gets a lot bigger in scale. Two, the time jump means all the main characters are now in their 70s and 80s. Avasarala is over 100. Either they go the Twin Peaks route and actually wait 30 years and hope everyone is still alive and working, or they go the Disney route and spend ungodly money on digitally aging everyone. Or they could just recast, but I think doing that as season 7 of the same show would have been pretty jarring.
>you should be able to edit grub.cfg

You mean the grub configuration file that shouldn't be edited?

#

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

#

# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates

# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

#

It is a pet peeve of mine, but according to the good people that wrote GRUB2, grub.cfg is subject to auto-magic modifications when updating the (main) Linux install, so it shouldn't be edited manually but rather sort of scripted.

For a GRUB2 installed to harddisk, modifications should be written to

40_Custom

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/CustomMenus

otherwise (it depends on which Linux distro is the "main" one) it can happen that at next update the grub.cfg is recreated losing your changes to it.
Obsidian app seems just an Electron app though. It uses MD (as the domain name suggests), and if you do syncing yourself its free.

Why not just require parents for nested cases? IMO this is fairly unambiguous, even to people unfamiliar with a particular language.
The article doesn't mention it, but another consideration regarding change in the UK is demographics. In areas of London where there has been an influx of Muslim immigrants, the local pubs tend to close down due to lack of demand.
ARM typically charges 1-2% in royalties. A company has to sell a LOT of chips for this to be the driving factor. In the case of a startup, we're talking about eliminating two entire teams costing tens to hundreds of millions per year and probably getting to market faster. You can sell a LOT of chips for even a small 100M R&D cost.
I don’t know which features you’re talking about, but over the years, CUDA has received quite a bit of features where Nvidia was quite explicit that they were not for performance, but for ease of use. “If you want code to work with 90% performance, use this, if you want 100%, use the old way, but with significantly more developer pain.”

Seems fair to me.
The interactive animations in this post are mind-blowingly good!!!
> it's not hard to imagine a company having an on-call rotation for such pager without any extra pay.

I imagine it’s possible but that seems like a terrible idea. Making the compensation for being on-call obvious seems better for everyone involved. At least the one who might have to get up on Christmas know exactly what they are getting out of it and that no one is taking advantage of them in the rotation.
it was exactly this kind of thinking that lead to Japanese automakers crushing American ones

vendor relationships do not have to be hostile. AWS has been around for a while and has never raised prices, some services have gotten 99% cheaper.

yes there's some hypothetical day where they say "tricked you, all that stuff about margin being opportunity was a lie" and they try to extract value short term while burning their reputation

but every day that goes by where this doesn't happen is $$$ wasted on trying to avoid it
Anytime you get to say, "I got you, you old lop-eared bastard! " as you're buzzing along low to the ground, it's a good day. I love stories like this.

I do wonder about that two-stroke engine in 1913, though.
I don’t do join order optimizations because that relies on cardinality estimation, I leave that up to the physical plan. But there’s plenty more to optimize like predicate and projection pushdown.
I mean, if you want the kind of job that can afford the house with the white picket fence and 2.5 children (and not putting yourself into dangerous levels of debt), the level of competition for such a job is fierce.
Either HN re-organizes the whole system so that "nothing can be lost" to the careful user - maybe in an encyclopedic txonomical tree -, or threads will be lost. This Solar powered etc. initiative is new to me, for example.
That would be a strategic mistake even if it made short-term sense (which it probably doesn't) because it would leave a big hole for to fill that could be leveraged to compete with them later in the US.

Well, because having a child, a descendant is so much more than “procreating”.

And, apart from that, your

“ I'm less interested in parents trying to rationalize what deep down they know was a bad decision, the perpetual "oh but I'd do it all over again" thing when clearly their life is a lot of worse and they're full of regret.”

is very judgmental.

One can be happy in the midst of hardship, difficulty and pain.

One does not have a child because “it is a benefit”. Unless one just sees life as a costly game.
I'd bet Dropbox has way more raw bytes to store than FedEx. Plus, the Dropbox business model is based on data egress to clients, which is really expensive on cloud servers. FedEx needs data centers more for internal logistics, which is probably why they're going with Oracle.
One company I had applied to had a job post that was an empty page. I found that strange and, without thinking, I opened the browser console and the page source to see what's wrong. It was a reflex.

There was text in the source saying: "Congratulations, you just passed the first step. Here's the test". The test for the real job post page was to decode the URL which was in Morse. That was cool.

I received a call from the CTO offering me the job. I said the test was really cool but I had found a job in the meantime. He said there weren't that many applicants.

The job I ended up taking: I was sent a dataset in a `.tar.gz` archive. They scored points just with that.

Small "frictions" like that would nudge most people who would not be happy at your company to do other things. They're small enough that people you would be interested in wouldn't even notice.

One other company (it was an online game I liked but didn't have time to play, so I wanted to write code to play on my behalf and I'd just enjoy the game by proxy. They put their call to apply in their HTTP response headers).

I actually based that on my memory of the last time I checked fediverse stats. It's currently 1.6 active and about 4 total. Okay, not millions plural if we're only counting active users (and we know MAU is only meaningful to capitalist entities that don't care about people who log on regularly at > month intervals), but certainly enough to suggest some people care, contrary to the post I replied to.

You would have to put something forward to show an effort to hide the existence of other compatible AP implementations before I could comment on that, but I certainly haven't seen it. Mastodon's own joinmastodon.org has two testimonials making it clear the fediverse is larger than Mastodon. And I 100% agree with them: it's the best of those I tried, and I tried them all.

A lot of people confuse a lack of promotion with hiding. Maybe you've made the same mistake here. Mastodon's own blog and documentation regularly mentions the fediverse. All of this is extraordinarily beside the point of the post you replied to, so that's the last I'll say here on this topic.
