> GC won’t magically reclaim memory that is still referenced

I never said it would. What I said that making GC hard-real-time is no more difficult than making malloc/free hard-real-time. You can do manual memory management in a GC'd system. If you do that, the two systems are literally the same.

The only difference between GC and manual memory management is that in a GC'd system, unreferenced memory will eventually be reclaimed and in a manual system it won't. If you lose all references to an allocated block in a manual system, it's gone forever, whereas in a GC'd system you can get it back. This enables a programming style that puts less burden on the coder to prevent memory leaks. But none of this has anything to do with being hard-real-time. Hard-real-time is hard, period, end of story. GC is completely orthogonal to this. Hard-real-time is hard in a GC'd system and it is exactly as hard in a non-GC'd system. The only difference between the two is the same in both hard-real-time and non-hard-real-time cases: in a non-GC'd system, the coder has an extra burden to write code that doesn't leak. That's it.

That is the only mitigation used in DALL-E 2, which up until recently was the only publicly available text to image model.

> I’d prefer not to have this awesome technology tainted out of the gate as a tool for racists and pornographers

Why is it your business what people do with the model? If people want to be racist they can already do so, they don't need a shitty model that doesn't work half as well as paying some guy in the third world $2/h to shitpost online. And I don't see the problem with pornography.
Thanks for the pointer!

I don't think you can compare NYT to Cloudflare.

Cloudflare basically has no limit on the number of sites they can support, a newspaper has limited space. They are just providing CDN services not editorial services like a newspaper does. The average person probably does not even know that a website is using Cloudflare so the association is significantly less than a newspaper

We wrote fRPC because we really liked the DevX and tooling around the proto3 syntax, but we needed the generated code to be significantly more performant than what gRPC provides.

We also needed the ability to extend the RPC framework with other messaging patterns (like pub/sub) and we needed to be able to reuse the underlying TCP connections as required.

There's no way to do this with gRPC (or any other RPC framework that I'm aware of), and so fRPC was born!

As for streaming, it's not only planned (you can check out our roadmap here: https://frpc.io/getting-started/roadmap), but we've already got a PR open for it (https://github.com/loopholelabs/frpc-go/pull/2). Just need to work out a few more bugs before we merge.

> Zoning that allows ONLY single-family detached housing, and no retail or business, forces car-dependency.

A lot of suburbs are not like that. I've lived in the Bay Area suburbs for most of my life and I don't think I've ever lived more than half a mile from a shopping center with a grocery store and restaurants. Every main road has them. Between the main roads, there are houses.
I don't think we're very close to fishing all of the fish out of the ocean.
I’m anti-car and I love my car!

I drive no more than once or twice a month, to get to the coast or the mountains (or all of Europe via ferry/tunnel) or to move heavy stuff around. It didn’t cost me much but it’s reasonably fast and a joy to drive on country roads.

I can’t think of anything worse than having to drive every or even most days, to work or the shops or to see friends.

I walk almost everywhere, cycle most of the rest, take public transport if it’s really raining or really far (or I am late) and take the occasional Uber when none of those is an option and I still don’t want to drive.

So I don’t think there should be no cars, just [almost] no cars in the middle of most cities and towns, and no need for anyone, anywhere to own one to have a reasonable life.
> but I think this was more of an intentional revenge rather than accidental playfulness.

At first blush this struck me as a silly comment, so I read the article... and boy, are you right. It really does sound like an intentional, even methodical killing. Here's the description from the wiki:

> As part of the end-of-show routine, [Dawn Brancheau] was at the edge of the pool, rubbing Tilikum's head. She was lying with her face next to Tilikum's on a slide-out, which is a platform submerged about a foot into the water. SeaWorld claims that she was pulled into the water by her ponytail. Some witnesses reported seeing Tilikum grab Brancheau by the arm or shoulder. The orca's move seems to have been very quick, pulling her underwater and drowning her. At least a dozen patrons witnessed Brancheau in the water with Tilikum. Employees used nets and threw food at Tilikum in an attempt to distract him. Moving from pool to pool in the complex, they eventually directed Tilikum to a smaller, medical pool, where it would be easier to calm him. After approximately 45 minutes, Tilikum released Brancheau's body.

I suppose I'm anthropomorphizing and making a lot of assumptions, but holding that poor woman under water for 45 minutes strikes me as making sure that she's dead--particularly since its caretakers (who, presumably, have a strong understanding of how to influence its behavior) were actively attempting to entice it to let her go. For 45 minutes.

Really wild stuff.
Does it matter whether FSD was enabled?

Most newer cars — that don't have fancy computer vision — still have built-in sensors to prevent collisions when the car is "driving" (e.g., above 10km/h). I would expect that to be a core feature of a Tesla vehicle.

Also anecdotally, we were on heroku for like 10 years. Started on free tier, and as our hobby project grew, we moved up in tiers (ending at $59/mo - after that any “upgrade” would double our costs).

Heroku was great for us. But they didn’t seem to stay competitive with the alternatives.
Bystander impression from other comments I've read on DuckDuckGo posts recently: they have good intentions but behind-the-scenes are a bit less rigorous on privacy than would be ideal. Is this an accurate impression from anyone who knows more?

For example, see discussion in this thread[0]. Even though the article itself seemed misleading, many commenters raised some good points.

Any links on that? I don't think veganism would be much better than vegetarianism or something like the EAT-lancet diet, but can't quite see how it could be worse from a climate perspective? Meat and dairy are usually the big ones.

(Though personal diet choices are probably meaningless, unless you can start a movement, which veganism seems to have done)

Sure, it is hard as hell and expensive as hell.. so what??

But why should they be entitled to ddos protection??

If they want to keep a site that many people find nasty in the air and that other companies refuse to have their brand linked to they have to deal with the technical hurdles of it..

Same way you can’t get to a newspaper and demand they publish you, same as you can’t force tv channel to give you air time..

While you can still publish your own newspaper and have your own tv channel, it is still hard and expensive as hell..

Internet access sure should be neutral like a utility, hosting other people content should not..

So sure, they have the right to have access to the internet and keep their site in it.. this does not means they should be able to force other help then against their will to keep it online when they are unable to do so, like in the case of a ddos..

You have te right to say what you want, but this does not give you the right to force other to provide you with a platform..
This is both good and bad. Good news: it can help people who need these services find them easier and more safely. Bad news: it can help violent anti-choice dickwads find new targets for their violence more easily.
One of the things that the author appears to assert is that bot generated imagers/shorts will start to dominate social media.

I don't think that will be the case long term (I also dont see it working in VR at all)

The issue is that because its easy to generate, it will be come associated with being cheap. And nobody like being bombarded with cheap culture (ie things that are optional, and not actually purchased)

An example, for the majority of people, "NFTs" now feel cheap. The bored apes are just variations. some NFTs are pretty patterns. Nice but not worth the money.

Yes, some tech people are getting very excited for GPT3->dall-e-> some sort of game engine. The problem they will bump into is that the output might look pretty, it'll have no meaningful coherent narrative (not even over 7-9 seconds). It will be associated with cheap platforms/content producers. (ie the modern equivalent of "this one weird olf trick/these pictures will SHOCK YOU./number 7 will TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY")

In some senses automated content has a very real risk of killing VR as a platform. Nobody is going to come back to a platform awash with nonsensical bot generated crap.
Seems like a good thing. Any downsides to this? Any low hanging fruit it misses in making research more open access?
You can still offer a "free tier for existing customers" and call it "development" or something. This lets people who are already known/paying to spin up test instances, without having to go through purchasing, which leads eventually to more paid usage.
Also, programming and software engineering are two different, although related, activities.

Same. Most seem extremely concerned about how to get into that new restaurant or other normal human things.
As an American (who has spend time some time in Finland, btw), it is really strange how mediocre European Universities are. My children are travelers and I want them to try things so I thought, why not apply to some good school in Europe? And there are some good schools for sure. But it's hard to find a school in say Italy or Spain (which have some of the oldest Universities in the world) that can compete in research or faculty with say, University of California San Diego, University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Mid-tier schools in the US punch way above their weight for some reason.

Fastmail is awesome. I'd combine DDG Email with their Masked Email in the cases where you want to strip image tracking and opaque tracking urls from your links.
If you're entering into a webpage, your best bet may be a different scanner. Virtual COM generally ties it to native applications (website COM interfaces are possible, but I'm assuming the website isn't yours to modify).

Another possibility is writing a native app that works like a shim: reading from the COM port and using APIs (e.g. SendKeys on Windows) to re-transmit the characters as keystrokes. But the most robust solution is probably a different scanner.

I suppose some people can cope with sustained 10 hour drives broken up with five minute bio breaks, but I cannot.

Also, unlike with gasoiline, you don't need to supervise an EV while it charges. Stopping for 30 minutes (bathroom breaks included in that time) every 5 hours doesn't seem too onerous to me.
I can't speak for their circumstances, but I'd assume a VC-backed company describing themselves as "not beholden" to VCs means they're default alive without additional fundraising, and that they haven't given over majority control of the board to their investors.
Yeah, some code dumps aren’t entirely unmaintained, but that doesn’t make their owners beholden to anyone.
IF we want to take them at face-value that this is because of fraud and abuse (a trust/respect they have not earned IMHO, or rather they lost many years ago) then this a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Otherwise it's some stupid MBA finding a way to save some money which will ultimately only speed up Heroku's demise.

Either way the writing is on the wall. The Heroku that delighted us all is long dead and the product is on life support at this point to eek some more money from people who haven't already moved on to greener pastures. It's really say to be honest, Heroku felt like magic and was amazing for a number of years and then just stopped being relevant, coasted, and hemorrhaged talent.

The downfall started before Salesforce IIRC but at this point it's clear the heart of Heroku is dead and gone.

I'm sure the other PaaS that have innovated, moved with the times (fly.io/render/etc) are popping bottles today at this news.

I guess it depends on where you think the platform is going, and which segment of the market you think the revenue is going to come from. I'm just saying: it's a significant cost. It's maybe the most important thing to know about the hosting business.

We spend more on Heroku CI than we do running our app on Heroku and it's well worth it.

CI runs on (almost) the exact same platform as production and we don't have to maintain any of it. When Heroku removes a package from their base image it gets removed from CI and we know if it broke anything.

The pricing model is the same as running our app. Which means if 10 people want to run 10 branches on CI at the same, and each CI run runs 32 nodes in parallel, and takes ~15 min, Heroku gives us 3200 nodes and we pay to run them for 15 minutes. No waiting, no upgrading to a different tier, etc...

I don't see many other people talking about Heroku CI, and Heroku doesn't seem to push it that much in their marketing, so either it's only really amazing for our use case or people just don't know about it yet.

For us it was a lot cheaper than other options when you consider how costly sitting around waiting for CI to start is.

Anyways that would be really hard to leave for another platform.
> GC pause is inevitable

No, it isn't. That's the magic of hard-real-time GC. It isn't easy, but it is possible.

[EDIT: A more accurate claim is that GC pause is no more inevitable than an allocation failure in a malloc/free system.]

I've spent quite a bit of time looking at Vermont, specifically Burlington and Montpelier. I have a very good friend from who was born in Burlington and who moved back there to raise his kids. Those two cities are at the top of our list, but I'd also like to explore/research more of New Hampshire, Maine, and western Massachusetts. We spent some time in Maine, on the coast during the early fall, and really enjoyed it.

As you guessed, EVs primarily use regeneration to brake. Most newer EV models give you a "blended" brake pedal where it will use regen exclusively if you brake softly but it will also apply the traditional wheel brakes if you brake hard.

Once you get used to the idea of regen it's weird to think that traditional combustion cars just throw away all that energy as heat in the brakes and/or engine.
Depends on the ecology.

Usually in complex settings you need a whole suite of problem solving strategies.

I think suburban and car-oriented grocery stores give people a skewed impression of how time-consuming it is to check out at a grocery store. If everyone is loading up their cart, the lines are going to be long because everyone has to unload it at checkout. By contrast, if most people are there for just a few things, you speed through the line if there even is one.

Bonus if it has a self-scanner like this one to further speed things up, though unfortunately we don’t have any like that near me: https://youtu.be/kYHTzqHIngk

The solution appeals to me is reputation systems. People give ratings to each other, then you can choose a few people that you personally respect as "root nodes" and everyone else will get a rating based on the ratings that flow from them, according to some algorithm. Then you can filter out content from sources with a low enough reputation.

(Maybe this could be done in a decentralized way, using the dreaded bl*ckchain, but anyway it would be non-financial application.)

Hope to see something like this happen in the coming years.
