NVIDIA is the only GPU vendor who makes device drivers for FreeBSD, not only for Linux, so their GPUs work better than the others on FreeBSD.

Unfortunately the FreeBSD NVIDIA driver does not include CUDA.

It might be possible to use CUDA in a Linux VM with GPU pass-through, but I have not tried this.

FreeBSD has good driver support for many server-oriented devices, e.g. for many network cards, especially for those from Intel, and for many SCSI controllers. The support for magnetic tapes is also better than in Linux.

There are various random devices that may have good support, e.g. recording from a Logitech video camera worked much better for me on FreeBSD than on Linux, but in general the chances of not finding a device driver for some piece of hardware are much greater than on Linux, especially when that hardware is new.
The difference between academia and practice is that academia is only satisfied with a perfectly coherent theory and practice is perfectly satisfied with an incoherent but working solution.

Sometimes, it's more productive to use words, ideas, and objects that already exist to solve problems. Even if they're not ideally suited.

To answer the "filing taxes is needlessly complicated" actual problem, the "overlearning" (by which they seem to mean "over-optimizing for risk reduction") explanation would be that the individuals in government responsible for writing the tax code have all optimized for actions which will further/protect their careers.

And those actions inevitably lead to a more complicated tax code, because {adding tax code} generally makes important entities happy (exclusions! or more heavily targeting not-you!) and {removing tax code} only makes the people happy (in an abstract way, albeit often angry in a specific way).

An example of government policies that could help fight this are the "1-in-2-out" style regulatory reduction mandates. Where in order to implement a new regulation, previously standing ones have to be culled, which effectively incentivizes pruning useless or less important regulation.
> It also adds a significant amount of noise for 99% of the cases, for no value since any schoolchild past 12 or so has integrated the precedence rules.

As all the viral "Only 25% of people got this right" stuff that pops up from time to time proves: No they haven't.

Also since we're rarely writing equations composed entirely of single digit numeric literals and are using reasonable variable names, the percentage of characters overhead and therefore noisiness of using brackets is much less than in the short examples being thrown around.

Where is this claim from? The Codex paper claims 28.8% on OpenAI's novel dataset:

On HumanEval, a new evaluation set we release to measure functional correctness for synthesizing programs from docstrings, our model solves 28.8% of the problems, while GPT-3 solves 0% and GPT-J solves 11.4%.

The numbers I quote (5-7%) are on the APPS dataset, reported by SalesForce:

Note that there is no standard dataset like ImageNet or MNIST in program synthesis so it's not correct to speak of a "benchmark". LLM code generators in particular tend to be evaluated on whatever dataset their creators thought best demonstrates their system's capabilities.
I'm not Italian, but Argentinian and it's funny how we have most of these, though some of the definitions are slightly weird to me, for example, the one on the cover means "what", back tips of the fingers on the chin means "I don't know". There's also a very interesting one we have, idk where it comes from, where one closes the fingers and bends the thumb a couple of times, sometimes accompanied by saying "minga", which means something like "jaja, no way, not doing that".
I’ve said it before: Nix is advanced alien technology that was badly damaged when it crash landed on Earth.

We’ve got a very nice setup that deeply integrates Nix/NixOS/Bazel (working name “straylight” for the Gibson fans) that builds most major languages well and rounds off the (very) rough corners. I’m dying to open source it but it takes time to detangle that kind of thing from your proprietary stuff. I paid in blood to know Nix inside out and I don’t want any more people to do that than already have. We use Tweag’s shit for some of the Haskell stuff.

Until then: if you’re ready to pay the price of learning this shit: you’ll get a favorable exchange rate by reading the source of nixpkgs. The docs/blogs are just usually wrong. There are exceptions (Xe is a baller), but mostly you’re flipping a coin whether or not an online resource will move you forwards or backwards.

I tried a couple of weeks ago. my conclusions were solidly in favour of google, despite reluctance on privacy concerns

I felt that for technical searches past a certain number of keywords (2 or 3), ddg and brave tend to lose focus where google doesn’t, a problem exacerbated by the lack of quote search on either

google also much better answers local questions, like “[supermarket] [location] opening times”, and indexes wikipedia more usefully, plus ten other integrated features you don’t miss until they’re gone (e.g. imdb)

I didn’t notice a change in SEO spam between the alternatives. I would imagine brave have made an effort here, but as far as I know, duckduckgo filters their content less than google does

finally, brave lacks maps, which is incredibly annoying

Great point here. I recently was fascinated by a new topic and filled two notebooks of 200 pages with my notes written with a fountain pen.
For example: https://youtu.be/wEhLURFsfSg?t=222 which literally means "suck my dick", but used in a discourse is more akin to a response you give when someone asks you to do something there's no way you're going to do.

Also: https://youtu.be/wEhLURFsfSg?t=526 meaning "fucking".
Quick, what should be the order of precedence among (binary!) flip, transp, rot, rho, and iota?

APL / Ivy have so many operators a conventional precedence order would likely be completely impossible to remember or work with.

(One option I’d consider viable in general would be to define associativity and perhaps compatible groups like {+, -} or {*, /} but force explicit parentheses when operators from different groups are used, but that wouldn’t feel like a calculator.)

I got to use interfaces twice in big-ish projects and the biggest advantage I found was decoupling, separation of concerns and code organization.

Go compiler throws an error for circular dependencies and I found that interfaces provided a way to arrange the source code to avoid that error.

It also made testing easier in certain cases because I was able to implement mock interfaces to perform unit tests.

What I found caused quite a few runtime bugs was writing go with a sort of OOP flavor, that is, having most functionality in methods instead of functions. This then forces you to have to pass pointer all over the place and since a null pointer is not something checked during compile time I came across a few panics in go when following that pattern.

Keeping data alone, returning empty structs on errors and having behavior in actions in my case made for a pretty sturdy program that most of the bugs where catch during compile time, and the kind of bugs I came across where mostly external one, i.e. network timeout or dns issues which make for some weird behaviors I hadn’t accounted for

> if bike lanes are not available, they have to, by the law, use the road, not 'what the biker thinks it's best'

As I'm sure you are aware, laws are not universal. In Idaho where I live, cyclists are allowed on the sidewalk so long as they yield to pedestrians. [1]

> Imagine if car drivers did the same "oh, there's a truck stuck in to middle of the road, let me cut through this park where kids are playing, at 80mph"

Bikes and cars are different. It's perfectly reasonable to bike at 10mph on a sidewalk and where I live it happens all the time without incident.

I don't know. The problem is that $20 pairs often sound on par with ones that cost around $200. But the ones that cost around $200 have much better ANC than the $20 ones. You can definitely tell on an airplane. And these don't have noise cancelling at all.
Opus is one of the lowest-latency frequency-domain codecs out there (not including ADPCM-style codecs), as well as being the best-sounding voice and music codec at a given bitrate, beating MP3 and AAC (excluding ultra-low-bitrate voice, and recent neural codecs). In listening tests, LC3 is only better than Opus when Opus is deliberately misconfigured to compress audio badly.

Looking around for battery usage, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21982964 claims LC3 is no simpler to decode in specialized low-powered hardware than Opus, while https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=118692.msg979046#msg9... claims LC3 is "basically Opus with a few marginal gadgets thrown in". In that case, I think the only reason Opus couldn't be as widely supported as LC3 is that there isn't money to be extracted from the system.

> Now cars only follow the rules at the “most dangerous” intersections?

that's quite the interpretation there...

the most dangerous intersections are already monitored, don't need to challenge me to do it, they are already studied to improve safety.

sure enough, the less dangerous are going to be less dangerous. At least I believe that's what's going to happen, no matter if it's cars or bikes.
If you do require glasses for VR, for anyone who wants to stick with it, I strongly recommend getting prescription lenses for your headset.

The most common form is just another lens that clips on top of the VR lens so it's not something that will require disassembling your expensive VR headset.

This solves the fogging up problem in my experience, along with light leak from thicker arms on glasses pushing foam covers away, scratches on lens from glass/headset contact and also the fact that I broke a pair of glasses wearing them inside a VR headset.
There's nothing whatsoever about the code released for Bitcoin which is "not brilliant". It is concise, it escapes all of the normal vulnerabilities you would expect to find in code that has extensive network access, and absolutely anybody can jump into the repository and get a very solid understanding of what is going on for what was then a completely novel and unheard of system. It is tightly integrated for its purpose, but there was no necessity for it be anything else, and it enabled the code to be released when it was.

"Satoshi was a bad coder" has absolutely no basis in reality.
If you can get people to agree on a what is a problem, it can get solved quite simply in many cases. For instance, illegal immigration could be solved trivially, but the bulk of the ruling class is in favor of it for various reasons, so it stays.

This boring person is so short on details that I suspect he is pretty comfortable with the way things are. He mentions Covid. Okay--the solution to Covid was to wait until it evolved into a cold-like disease as Coronaviruses seem to do. The short term solution was to isolate at-risk populations. Instead, we be-masked five year olds. We're still be-masking five year olds. I would consider that a public problem, and I suspect professor Weiss would disagree.

The CDC is right on top of a new public problem, however, and advises people to have clothes cover any rashes during sex and to clean their latex gear in between partners.

The arguments against bike licensing/registration/insurance etc. is that the cost to implement and run the scheme is orders of magnitude greater than the purported benefits. Here in the UK, some house/contents insurance includes cycle liability insurance as the number of claims is negligible and it costs the company very little (not so much cycle theft insurance).

The other oft-forgotten aspect of cycling is that in places with social healthcare, the health benefits from cycling will save money, so it can actually save the state money to introduce free cycle liability insurance if it increases the numbers cycling.

they are designed to simply make precedences rules obvious.

I never really understood Prolly Trees. With content-defined chunking (which is the only addition to regular b-trees), you always need a maximum size because it is possible for pathological content to not ever have a boundary (therefore you get one massive chunk, or for trees one massive branch node).

However once you have chunks of fixed size (the maximum) instead of content-defined sizes, changes to the content become non-local: a change in one part of the data might change an arbitrary number of following chunks/nodes.

Did they find a solution to that? Did they ignore it?
From what I can tell, NYC bike infrastructure is still in its infancy. While it seems to be doing a decent-ish job adding bike lanes, building actual _bike infrastructure_ has yet to begin.

Streets are designed car-first, with a bike lane added as afterthought. Good cycling infrastructure requires completely separate "cycling highways", a radical intersection redesign, and actually creating areas where cars are second-rate citizens - if at all present. I am simply not seeing that in NYC yet.
This is not efficient. Farming requires many centralized functions not scalable in an urban environment.
Storage is of course the way to overcome grid volatility but so far there are few economical options. As I mentioned, few studies have been conducted on this volatility component and cost, but my understanding is that current storage options are uneconomical relative to nuclear, and especially relative to coal and LNG. Hydro storage is ~70% efficient but it's obviously only feasible in mountainous regions. It's actually cheaper to significantly overshoot renewable capacity to compensate for slow days, but if we're now building 2-3x peak capacity then the cost equation shifts considerably.
It's 100% not Craig Wright, that man is a habitual liar.
It struck me as rude. But I also understand that too much time on HN (in particular) and I can get a little put off by some of the cynicism I see in the comments.

Is the cynicism concern trolling? I'm not sure. Certainly there are people "with agendas" that would toss cynical remarks into a discussion thread like they were thought-grenades.

But the more erudite leanings of HN also attracts a kind of skepticism from people who want to post as naysayers because it suggests they have already perceived the issue, saw its failings, and have moved on ... intellectually.

I hate to even post the above because I'm pointing too many fingers and don't wish to put anyone on the defensive. (There are other reasons I am sure someone would post a contrarian comment.) I wanted to explain though why I don't immediately jump to "concern troll" when I see a negative comment put forth on a story about a very progressive idea.

Moore's Law is dead. We were mostly stuck on 14nm for years and... it had no obvious effect on economic growth. A better way to put it: What kind of application must have a very small node and would not be able to run economically without a tiny node?

Embedded doesn't care all that much. Servers can scale horizontally. What's left is various consumer products, and even here you can easily make a smartphone on 12nm, it would just be slower. Hmm.. Maybe VR and locally-run ML must have a tiny node size. Hardly big markets. For all else, there'd be a temporary efficiency loss, but we'll make do and catch up within a decade. You could argue delaying the future would have a running effect, but it seems to me mostly leisure activities would be affected and investment/production would be fine?

The Moore's law effect is insignificant compared to the damage of a conflict between the world's #1 manufacturer and #1 consumers.
I think if you want good quality things you need to pay for things such as books, academic journals, University.

I am happy to pay for medium, the quality isn't high but it is modern. And I prefer the content to mainstream content producers.

The problem is there is a circular dependency between funding, work, time, revenue. This is a tragedy of society. Everyone wants things for free but doesn't want to be the first to pay for something that is empty or not proven. (Risk)

> It turns out that actually using the Bitcoin protocol is harder than I expected. As you will see, the protocol is a bit of a jumble: it uses big-endian numbers, little-endian numbers, fixed-length numbers, variable-length numbers, custom encodings, DER encoding, and a variety of cryptographic algorithms, seemingly arbitrarily. As a result, there's a lot of annoying manipulation to get data into the right format.
