I'm not sure it's all that radical. Sure, you can think of ways to completely clean slate redesign various applications and systems. But equally there are reasonably straightforward ways to integrate it into existing systems to achieve good speedups.

I thought about that often. Why are highly intelligent, passionate young activists not working into the industries they despise to change the system from within. But you're right that the system you're in changes you, corrupts you. You'd have to sacrifice a lot to climb the corporate ladder, doing things you despise, just for the chance to blow things up years, decades later. Your idealists friends would distance themselves from you. You'd have to constantly remind yourself that you're doing wrong things but that it's ok, because it is part of a bigger plan. It would be very isolating. You'd probably sacrifice your sanity for a foolish plan.
To put that in context.. Javascript - the closest competitor - can't even get comparison, numbers or truthiness right....
That's a pretty misleading quote out of context (and to be honest, it's not great even with context - there's no real grounds for iFixit to make that assertion) - Apple made changes at the hardware & software level to how the touchpad & keyboard work - offloading more functionality to the main SoC, changing the comms protocol, etc.

There's no evidence at all that it is an attempt to block repairs with older hardware.

edit: if you think about it, it's even more awkward for Apple - now they have to have two sets of parts inventory for repairs, etc. It doesn't really make sense to do that unless you have a technical justification.

Dear All,

My name is Héctor and I am an energetic, fast learner, and highly adaptable Data Analyst and I believe that I am the ideal candidate for this position for the following 2 reasons:

First of all, I have got the essential skills for this position. Apart from being a Bootcamp graduate in Data Analytics, where I learnt Python, Machine Learning, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, I am currently expanding my knowledge by studying 8 hours every day. You can see some of my projects listed in my CV, featured on my Linkedin Profile or going directly to my Github.

Secondly, I have 3+ years of experience in Software Quality Assurance and Project Management. A period in which I have been part of + 80 testing projects, as a Tester and as a QA Test Lead. A time as well where I learned constantly new technologies, processed and reported data to different stakeholders, contributed to increase the monthly revenue of my account by 10 times as a Project Manager, received 4 Customer Satisfaction Compliments, improved business processes, and mentored my team about those solutions.

Thank you very much for your time in assessing my profile. I would be thrilled to discuss this position in a meeting and to share any information you might need.

Have a lovely day,

Héctor.
Yeah it was called RSS and it was great
We're thinking about introducing more accessible pricing models in the future, especially given the interest from student audience.

Given, that we're building this project in our free time with no investments, we want to get to a point where we can focus solely on Emery. That's why we're starting with a bit of a steep pricing.
Any hope they will license the tech or pivot and offer it under a different brand and marketing approach?

I was very interested in the tech but never quite understood how to utilize it, so it dropped off my radar.
What do you think will happen to the grid when everyone has an EV charging point and charge their cars?

There is a general infrastructure issue in the UK, and I fear we'll need to hit crisis point (and we're not far off) before anything is done.

Hey! I was in a similar situation and posted on quite a few platforms. Today, I came across "Remotebase" on product hunt. I'm sharing the link with you because honestly I've figured out this as my solution.

Besides, I did some research and asked for reviews too so I'm satisfied.

Telling Lies to Power
Agreed.

I have opened and I am met with "We can't ship to %MY_COUNTRY% yet, but we are expanding quickly".

I also wonder why some sites claim they can't ship into here. Virtually all of the post services of the world do ship into this country for years and years yet some sites specifically exclude it.
> But luckily, A can be built against B1 and C1, which can both depend on D1. Or, A can depend on B1 and C2, and B1 will talk to D1, and C2 will talk to D2; when B1 talks to C, it will talk to C1, because that's the version B1 was built/tested against; if C2 talks to B, it will talk to B2.

That only works if B knew about C, or if there's a version of D that there are releases of both B and C that were built against. Neither of these can be relied on, especially when you bring in E and F and all the other dependencies that a real application will have (e.g. maybe B updated E before updating F, whereas C updated F before updating E).

> The data model is the really sticky wicket, but I think migrations provide a path to deal with it, or just a loosely coupled API.

The data model is the root of the problem, if you can't fix that you can't fix anything.

> For example, all Cloud technology is currently mutable. An S3 bucket as a whole concept cannot be snapshotted, changed, and then reverted automatically. That's a limitation of the service and the API. Making it immutable requires redesign, which would probably break existing stuff. Every single cloud service is like this. It will take 10+ years to redesign everything in the Cloud to be immutable. But imagine if we could just make it immutable tomorrow, and nothing would break, because old software dependent on S3 would keep using the old version! Make any change you want at any time and ship it right now and nothing will break.

But as long as there are still applications that mutate them, your buckets aren't immutable! Effectively you're just introducing a new, incompatible cloud storage system that client applications have to migrate to - but that's something you could already have done.

The problem isn't depending on old versions versus new versions. The problem is getting consensus on the semantics between all parts of your system, and being able to depend on an older version of something just moves the problem around.
As an amateur cyclist, I can tell you that this is false.
Make a climbing with a 15 years old bike and a modern bike and you will feel the difference, even if you are not a professional rider.

It's a matter of better fluency, less frictions and better power transmission.
Yeah you’re right. My point is that the technical bar for entry is low, and can be attained maybe by spending one year in a top lab. You then skip the hazing ritual that is the PhD and postdoc and directly start your own small lab.

Spend your money attending conferences to make connections and get yourself updated in the field.

Hire technicians to help with your grunt work. Spend your days reading research papers, discussing science at conferences, and setting up new experiments.
Hull's Futures, Options and other derivatives was on the bookshelf of a friend who worked at JS - it was their bible.

I always throught market microstructure was more important, but they insisted a disciplined application of the maths (as per the bible of Hull) was where the magic really was.
Given that we already had Alphafold... And we already had a big database of proteins... Running Alphafold on that database seems... unremarkable?

Was it a massive amount of computation that is inaccessible to anyone else? Is there a good reason to run it on the whole database, not just the handful of proteins you want to investigate?

To me the announcement is a bit like saying "we've run prime number analysis on every phone number in the united states!". Great... anyone could have done that... And nobody has done it yet because it wasn't super important to anyone.
That's the typical difference in expectations between users. Some users don't even want to think about what the computer is doing and want to avoid all the complexity, others don't want the computer to do any thinking for them because they might be aware of all the ways things could go wrong, and part of that is transparency and data ownership/control.

I'm definitely in the second group, whenever I see an app just saying "click this button to magically do the thing" I immediately worry about where the files are stored and how I'd back them up and how I could reverse the changes when (not if) something goes wrong.
Despite what the sibling says which is also true, especially in winter, Germany has a lot of solar in comparison to ten years ago and depending on what you do otherwise for heating building a house requires solar (it seems a lot of people use it for hot water instead of electricity) installations. Being Germany there's lots of rules which I don't know in detail since I don't live there. But here's a quick Google result for some of it: https://www.nibe.eu/de-de/support/artikel/solaranlage#pflich...

Also a lot of landlords (corporate ones) have already announced that they will only supply heating up to 20C this winter. There's a lot of discussion about that going around i.e. people complaining about that.
Huh? I probably reboot my phone once a week at least. I would argue once a year is far from normal.

Asana already exists. Even for free. Is your product different enough?
Which is relevant when rebooting the earth without fossil fuels, since charcoal had a vital part in the development of iron even after coal was available.
This. Maybe people forgot about the days of having to buy software one-time for $59.99 and then have to buy a new version if you want the latest. Today, you can probably get that same service for $10/month and you're continuously getting updates.

Subscriptions make more sense for both users and businesses. It's not like you can fire the entire product team once you finish shipping a version of the product. And for users, the upfront cost is less and you're getting updates more frequently. You can also cancel if the service isn't what you expected. The power swings in the favor of the user more.

At the end of the day, it's all about life-time value anyways. Selling two copies of your software for $120 total is the same revenue as selling $10 subscriptions for 12 months.
XL-FLASH is in the 10us latency range? That's competitive with Optane over NVMe but I wouldn't really call it an alternative to the DIMMs that could do 0.3us.

I'm definitely curious about how fast it will run over CXL.
This i think is the primary reason why the very cliché phrase:

"diversity is our strength", does have some validity.

It gives us the most optimal way to find new ways of solving/improving certain aspects of a problem/product because said problem/product is put in a new unique environment to be tested.
The article does however mention the basic issue which led to Optane's failure (at least if I understand it correctly): that all current OSes have a concept of primary and secondary storage, whereas for getting optimal performance out of Optane, you need to have several levels of memory storage (which apparently have to be managed by the OS, as opposed to CPU caches): a program's code can stay in the Optane memory, while the stack and heap have to be in "real" RAM to reduce wear on the Optane memory when the program is executed? So Intel would have had to develop an OS for it, or worked on extending e.g. the Linux kernel in that direction.
It is included in my org's license and we haven't been paying anything extra. I guess it will be a completely free add-on to most ArcGIS Pro licensing. Unity/Unreal are already free to use too below a certain profit threshold. Overall I'm quite optimistic about it.

The old version of the function could get security patches.

But then it wouldn't be the old version of the function any more, but a brand new function. If you allow arbitrarily changing 'old' function then you just lost all the guarantees of stability and reproducability that this approach was supposed to offer.
Indeed, the ArcGIS Maps SDK is about GIS content first and foremost, not CAD content that almost always lacks geolocation. It's a bit disappointing from HN that the top comment, while containing valid information, is only remotely applicable to the tool at hand.
Sadly, users usually reboot because some poorly written piece of software (probably written in C/C++ or Java) is out of wack and resetting RAM is the only way to fix it.

Also keeping RAM running all the time would eat electricity and generate heat.

But I like the general idea. It definitely would be a good option.
Neither have I ...
I know a little about GPT-3, well that it's a big net for generating text/prose. I hadn't heard of koi.app before.
Your videos are fascinating showing generation of product descriptions and keywords. Is there an article or help page on koi that explains this better? Or non-Koi usage examples?
What don't you understand -- the method of calculating the function is an approximation, thus the AD derivative is dependent on it, and the AD derivative is a derivative of the approximation, not the actual function. Whereas an approximation of the actual derivative is what we are truly after.

> The key take away here is that the map is not the territory. Most nontrivial functions on computers are implemented as some function that that approximates (the map) the mathematical ideal (the territory). Automatic differentiation gives back a completely accurate derivative of the that function (the map) doing the approximation. Furthermore, the accurate derivative of an approximation to the idea (e.g d_my_sin), is less accurate than and approximation to the (ideal) derivative of the ideal (e.g. my_cos). There is no truncation error in the work the AD did; but there is a truncation error in the sense that we are now using a more truncated approximation that we would write ourselves.

https://www.oxinabox.net/2021/02/08/AD-truncation-error.html

AD is great but if you have a calculation method ill-suited for AD, then you'll get shite results. Why is this surprising?

And yeah, stenciling is mostly for PDEs and other state spaces that we don't have a closed form for. It's generally not used for an analytic function. But you can use it for an analytic function if you tailor the stencil to the function. In fact, you'll just yield a truncated Taylor polynomial if you provide a perfect function-specific stencil.
"ML model predicts data from the training set" doesn't make a very good headline does it?

edit: wrote it in a sarcastic way, but I would love to understand if that's what it actually is or if there is an actual difference between this and what AlphaFold does.
> The AI uses natural language processing to “understand” the text explanation behind each error codes, said the engineer.

Oh, I see where the 3 second delay comes from. You should have used direct machine to machine communication.
I'm not really sure how I feel about universities (which should be teaching modern technologies and methods) teaching ancient 70s stuff like Unix.

Do we really want a new generation of people who think Unix was born perfect and cannot be improved upon?
Yes okay. Indeed as a simple file/snapshot server over network this should be enough. But this is meant to run all kinds of apps on it. For example plex, in many cases that will transcode the video. One could do without the cache when using SSDs I suppose.
https://quotebacks.net/ are popular among the IndieWebsters.
No, it is similar to Modula-2.

Much safer than plain C, but use-after-free and double free will still get you.
I am a bit ignorant in OS stuff but isnt that managed by the filesystem? I think some people were using them as LOG drives in ZFS fs.
Well, sadly they are not
Very probably. Isolation is a "false friend" in German and English (also in French and English). Meaning both languages have that word but they mean something different depending on context.

In this case "Isolation" in German is used both for insulation and isolation while they are separate words in English for the two.
Even owning a phone, I really hate phone-based 2FA. What happens if I lose my phone? I've lived in foreign countries for almost my entire adult life, and no phone number is permanent. When I move, I need a new phone.

My Indian friends tell me it's much worse there. All of their government services are tied to a specific phone number that they must keep forever. So all of the ex-pats living here still pay for their Indian phone number back home so that they can still interact with the government when they need to.
I don’t think I spend too much time on known similar items. But when it comes to choosing over 2-5 essentially equal android phones, vacuum cleaners, pc speakers, etc - I’m paralyzed by fear that marketing has me on its hook. A phone may be ridden with bs apps and crappy defaults. A vacuum cleaner may have a shitty brush lock. Speakers may have too much bass by default.

Just thinking about it raises my anxiety and sense of hopelessness.
I've been thinking about creating something like this. Essentially comments ON code that aren't IN the code
Building a panel out of e-ink electronic shelf labels
No - if you were creating a lens or sensor you wouldn't even think about the orientation of the image relative to the real world. It's irrelevant - only that the pixels can be read off in an orderly manner. This is even true for analogue processes (but if the method of converting negatives to photos was different I can see it'd be a factor).

Maybe people in this thread are talking past each other but imo I agree with the commenter arguing that the image is ever "upside down", there is no image.
Which Modula-2 and Mesa were already doing in the 70's, or NEWP/ESPOL in the 60's, or JOVIAL in the late 50's.

Hence why it would be nice if Zig would be a bit better in that regard.
