For a frame of reference, one full frame buffer for a 4K monitor is around 32MB. Put another way, you can have about 32 of them per GB of RAM.

Not that you can’t use plenty of GPU RAM, but 8GB gives you a lot of room to work with. (Video decoding need all that much — probably three buffers worth per stream, and at the size of the video, not the screen.)
This needs to be able to be run locally/natively. Most companies would not want to run this with their proprietary data in a third party SaaS
Yep have seen this firsthand. Beware the evangelist who shows up bearing fancy new architectural patterns and who can't be bothered to understand nor discuss details of the existing system.
I too was receiving regular emails from Amazon recruiters for Software Engineering positions, and haven't been on Linkedin or any sort of job based site since 2017 when I got my current job, yet was still receiving these emails up until late last year.

Finally, I pretended to be interested in the position and started talking with the recruiter. When we got to the compensation and benefits part, I mentioned the only way I would consider working at Amazon is if they guaranteed Jeff Bezos be rocketed out in to space with no way to return to earth. The recruiter laughed it off, ended the conversation, and I've not received any more emails from them.

Try something stupid to get pulled off their email lists I guess? lol
Thank you. Unfortunately I have not yet written anything detailed about the renderer. As is typical with this sort of project, I had grand ambitions about many features and articles to write but have really only been able to focus on the daily updates.

Oh, how I wish it was automatic! I have a script that pulls EXIF data out of the photos and initially places them in the scene but then I manually rectify it. In fact, all the keyboard shortcuts are still there if you want to see the process. Select a photo then play with these keys:

B (toggle white background), 1-5 (image opacity), QEWSAD (camera orientation), HNIKJL (camera position), [] (camera FOV), and / (console.log the variables). Shift does smaller increments.

In theory, the iPhone has enough metadata to make a decent first guess (GPS, phone orientation, and compass direction). In practice, that wouldn't be enough to do it automatically, you'd have to do some sort of additional fitting. Video and photo georegistration is an important problem in many domains with active research -- perhaps some day this will trickle down into a library I could use.
I've been getting them too. I used to tell them to stop contacting me but after that had no effect I've just been ignoring them.

I've got a feeling they've built enough of a reputation they have to cast a wide net for competent people. Of the people I've known who've worked at Amazon, only one enjoyed it. Every mega corp is different and the team you land on makes all the difference in quality of life, but I'm having trouble thinking of anywhere else where I hear such a uniformly negative things. I hope this is a sign of them paying a price for the culture they've built.
It is called dodging.
It’s a thought experiment for studying ethics. You can modify all of the variables as you choose, but in general you want to pick the simplest form that suffices to demonstrate the point.

In this case making the people different would make the experiment needlessly complex. The problem as-stated (assuming identical individuals) already illustrates the consequentialist/deontologist conflict.

I think you are perhaps engaging on a different level than intended; “what are the legal consequences of this action” is downstream of the problem. In other words, we should make our legal system conform to our ethical system, not take the legal system as some fact that must guide our ethical principles.

This is not intended as some legal case study to test law students’ understanding of culpability in homicide. (Although that might well be an interesting discussion in its own context).

> It seems overly simple to me to reduce it to "more is better".

No consequentialist would claim this, and to be clear that’s not what I claimed either.
I don't know about that. Even with your programming language/infrastructure you still want to identify the slow bits and optimize those. At the end of the day, you only have a certain amount of bandwith for optimization, and you want to use that where you'll get the biggest bang for you buck.

Yep, I agree.

The issue would be to discern between honourable and dishonourable (or shameless) entities, but there starts the domain of concessions to convenience, and PR.
I would hope it's not legal.

Not to be negative but I think I'll stick to the sites and people that made the results and not a middleman that intends to charge for other people's work.
There were popular audio daemons before PulseAudio took over, though. It's not like it entered a completely empty "market", if you will. Nobody was mad at the authors of those, even though in fact they did also suck. Nobody seems upset over Pipewire.

So I don't think you've found the reason.
The odd thing to me was not missing autocomplete, it was that it says "start typing to search", but when you type, nothing happens. This is of course because the search field is not focused when you load the page, until you click it. It should maybe be "type here to search".
This is already a thing, LLVM has a JIT interface which is used by the Julia interpreter.
My dad never grasped thought problems either. Same for riddles. He would always try to find a crack in the description or wording that he could exploit to find a solution you didn't expect, when in reality it just subverted the thought problem, transforming it into a different one that was easier to answer, but not useful to anyone.

If the choice was between 3 deaths over 30 years and something more than that, then the problem would have stated as much. But it didn't. You don't add extraneous details that you thought of to bend the problem to what you want it to be, you make the choice between two sides as they are presented.
A lot of that content has moved to newsletters and Twitter threads. If you know the right people to follow, there are a lot of niche, quirky, and insightful pieces that remind me of the homepages of yore.

One problem is that these things get lost in the timeline. So I made a StumbleUpon for Twitter threads [0]. Check it out!

B+ tree index updates are not free, and get slower and slower as the rowcount increases.
I'm guessing it isn't, if only because this feature completely disables MDM (which you'd need in government or business to do things like remote wipes or passcode policies). It looks to be designed for people that are possible targets to use on their personal phone, which shouldn't have work data on it.

(Of course, they could make some new MDM policies to individually turn these features on. You can already block external devices with MDM, and you can completely disable FaceTime/iMessage/iCloud. It wouldn't be much of a jump to add the more granular protections this has.)

Congrats on the launch! Looks promising, so I'll try it out for a couple of days.

One feature request at first glance: please default to the system font stack for code snippets. I see you're currently using Consolas, a Microsoft typeface, which is not pleasant to see as a mac user.

You can use this to default to the system font on every platform:

font-family: "SF Mono", "Monaco", "Inconsolata", "Fira Mono", "Droid Sans Mono", "Source Code Pro", monospace;
This is a personal hobby horse of mine, but where is the scrutiny regarding the various advisory firms that are now managing the restructuring / bankruptcy process?

The Consello Group in particular is interesting. It's led by an ex-Clinton staffer that left their last firm following multiple sexual assaults, and it's got Tom Brady listed as a partner, who has been trying to dump crypto on retail investors for several years now. I suppose it's fine that these characters now get a pay-day from the collapse of Voyager?
Talk to the LibreOffice people. You might even be able to sponsor work on the feature(s) you're interested in.

Thought I'd try this on a problem I've been researching today (which I resolved) where my service worker for offline PWA usage was working for everything except audio files.

I searched the following in say hello.so.

"Service worker fails on request for audio file"

I got back a couple of results related to general service worker use but none that get close to discussing the core problem that lead to the solution.

The same query in Google returns several results that together pointed me to the solution (it was around range headers in requests for media data types).

This is just one example though. I think the problem you are trying to fix is worth the effort. I just wonder if this is where humans are still stronger than computers - gathering unstructured data to use in problem solving.
I had the same issues with a 2019 16" MBP. Annoying fans as soon as I connected an external display, getting very hot, okay performance.
Switched to a M1 Pro 14" and couldn't be happier, as far as work laptops go it's the best I ever used since switching to macs in 2009.
At least at the start of the Obama Administration, he was known to be hooked on his Blackberry [0], and I know RIM did a lot of work to provide secured devices to government officials. I don't know what government officials are using since RIM went under though.

As I said, WordPress is a huge economy and there are many jobs because it’s not “cool”, the tech isn’t super exciting, and yes, the pay is definitely lower than top companies. But that also means the workload is usually lighter and it’s easier to get a job, which is what the OP was looking for.
This is a very old article, one which I've come across many times. But every time I've enjoyed it as much as the first.

You're probably doing the local fauna a favour by eliminating the cat. The cat will kill other animals purely for amusement (by killing it and not eating it). It enjoys a longer lifespan than most local predators due to their proximity to humans that care about their well-fare, enabling them to kill more and for longer than any local predator. Stray cats are estimated to be the largest contributor to declining bird and mammal populations [0].

Also, in the city I live in, outdoor cats are illegal regardless of registration (which is also required).

The lobsters on the other hand, if you live near a coastal city to their native habitat, could be reintroduced and improve the local ecosystem.

It's a pretty huge assumption to say that walking is fast enough.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll take a look at that :)
> Half of it are "discoveries" which were lost or disregarded and had to be "re-discovered", and IMO those are not discoveries at all since they change or affect nothing.

Surely the relevant consideration should be how much the discovery affected people at the time, not whether the discovery was eventually lost and needed to be re-discovered. Consider that all discoveries we have made could eventually be lost. It certainly doesn't diminish the historical significance of the discovery of penicillin if that discovery is lost in the population bottleneck caused by the 2095 A.I. War and only re-discovered 100 years after that.
All list comprehensions should error with message "FATAL PARSE ERROR: Will you really understand this in six months?"
I had a small part in this and I'd be happy to answer questions about it.
Hmm. Just a crazy idea. What if nobody went around beheading people for insulting their prophet, AND nobody went around arresting people for insulting their deity? And what if both the beheadings and the bogus arrests were punished by law? And what if nobody were allowed to get away with trying to use either one to justify the other?

I mean, I'm not sure a guy who's been dead for 1200 years AND supposedly has the favor of God needs any protecting, but I'm also not sure than any actual gods are in a lot of need of protecting.

Not that either arrest or beheading would be an appropriate response to an insult to an actually living and vulnerable person, either.
I would note that the choice of programming language is a bit different. Projects are pretty much locked into that choice. You've got to decide upfront whether the trade off in a rapid prototyping language is good or not, not wait until you've written the project and then profile it.
I wasn't aware of this -- very cool. Thanks.

We have captured a ton of video of the project and they've done a bunch of amazing lines. Hopefully we can put together a few good videos coming out of this.
Very interesting, would love a video documentary of their processes, when you can cut to the final sound in the movie.

Also, had to look it up since I realized I didn't know:

In filmmaking, Foley[1] is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality.[2] These reproduced sounds, named after sound-effects artist Jack Foley, can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass.

From Wikipedia [1] of course.

The NSO Group, whom Apple specifically cites as an opponent that inspired this work, is a private corporation. They sell to governments, but so does Apple.

The relationship between state and private industry has never been binary and has always had features like this. I don't think this is a "Jennifer Government" type scenario.

agreed, the rise of the corporation as the most powerful institution (above the nation-state) in this new budding global civilization is a long time coming.

on the other hand, this is how democracy dies. what structures (systems) exist to prevent apple (and other comparable corporations) from being an oppresive force against human persons? moreover, what incentives do they have?
> Speaking as someone on this community ostensibly for hackers...

Yea so why not just use Android for that instead of trying to put a square peg into a round hole? That's what I don't understand. You can do anything you want with Android or any number of manufacturers but no you have to do it on iPhone and iOS...?

I think this is just an admittance that iPhone and iOS are superior to all alternatives and that the "closed" model is better than open source software. If that weren't the case, you wouldn't be here trying to use Apple's products when you have multiple options and FOSS readily available.

> For a long time now, the official App Store itself has been overrun not only by scammy apps

Ok sure. So if this is a problem then it's not one that more app stores solve. It just makes the problem worse. So can you not use this as discussion point? Either you haven't thought about this much or you're being disingenuous.

> The freedom of possibility.

Yea, for a very vocal minority of people. Now I lose privacy regulations, apps, convenience, having a phone that just works, and so many other things just so a specific community of greedy, selfish people can do things they can already do now via jailbreaking their iPhone. And once this all comes to pass, it'll just be the same group of people doing stuff that can do it now except all other users will have a worse experience on their behalf. Thanks man

> Gov't is mandated to use AWS Gov instances which are quite easy to distinguish

That's not, in fact, true. The certifications that apply to AWS Gov make it easier to meet certain government compliance rules that apply to certain categories of data, but it is possible to meet the standards on a platform that isn't certified or certified to a lower level (but it means more administrative work for the org using the platform) and many Commercial AWS offerings have FedRAMP certifications, anyhow. I work in an org touched by FedRAMP, and which is almost entirely on AWS commercial, not Gov.

Is an engineer's profession harder than tying your shoes?

I understand the willingness to not discredit someone's hard work, but some skills are legitimately more complex than others.
This, assuming it applies to the open source dev teams as well, just makes the windows store less worth using. The option to buy a convenient copy of krita from the store while also supporting the devs was amazing.

So, now it's just a way to download the app? I'll just do as I've always done and install it the normal way.
It can be, but not in a place like IRC. The problem is that if a channel operator over a large channel gets to tripping your only option is to move networks if you'd like to chat on the same topic with less abusive operators, which ignores the value that people add to communities.

On Discord, all communities are created equal, and are discoverable. When you go to the discovery mechanism you can search for many similarly purposed communities.
I am also old. And tend to agree with you on this.
In a way it's a nice incentive not to nest too much (I have that tendency too)
Yeah, exactly, not an ev. 40k is so little it wouldn’t even cover the average daily driving distance in the US
I get about 1.5 a week from them and I always tell them I’m not interested in working for Amazon. They call about once a month too. I wish they would leave me alone.
That seems incredibly odd lol. What advantage does that have over Notepad++?
Somehow, this didn't get publicized much:

"On 3/29/2022, Acting New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin announced that the New Jersey Bureau of Securities has issued a Summary Cease and Desist Order to stop a Jersey City-based financial services company from selling unregistered securities in the form of interest-earning cryptocurrency accounts that have raised at least $5 billion nationwide."[1]

So, since March, they've been operating illegally. They were supposed to stop by April 29th.

It will be interesting to see if New Jersey handles this like they usually do with organized crime.[2]

Pretty decent overall. Though some code that comes back is a little dense and hard to read. This appears to be caused by how the scraper/parser handles whitespace. For example, the query "make a curl request in php" returns an example from the comments section in the PHP docs where the entirety of the comment has been returned as code, but the <br> tags have not been converted to newlines.

It would be a good idea to preserve whitespace, or arguably better, integrate optional syntax formatting

Overall, this search engine looks promising

This sounds way too sophisticated for them to risk it with a "Offer.pdf.exe". Especially if it was state-backed. If the victim notices it, and the bar isn't high, you'd basically spook him away and alert the entire company.
The charity problem is also unimaginably complex. What if I donate my entire (literal) life savings...then lose my job, go homeless, and consequently die? I've thus saved a handful of lives, lost one (myself), and doomed maybe dozens or hundreds of other lives I could've later saved! Uh, whoops. :|

Every moment, every (in)decision you make comes at the opportunity cost of many other choices, and their exponentially multiplying secondary/tertiary/etc consequences.

These thought experiments feels like (#0) solving an optimization math problem where you're:

1. Stumbling through an unimaginably large solution space and

2. Latching onto local minima (heuristics like "choose the fewest trolley deaths"), which are probably bad answers, only to realize

3. We don't even precisely know the objective function we're optimizing. So the problem has gone "up" one level. We first need to solve that optimization problem. GOTO #0.

The whole thing feels farcically hopeless and is maybe even a recursive or self referential minefield. Yikes. So the idea of avoiding it entirely by just winging it through life using your gut, or checking out entirely, doesn't seem like such a bad idea. Hell, it might be the only way to keep your sanity. It's an unsatisfying heuristic, but...oh look, we're back at step #2... :))))))
