Yes. Each Firefox container has its own cookies.
I wrote a browser extension for myself to "block" users on this board. It's just a list of username -> reason,evidence_url,action records, where "action" is either "make text invisible" or "make text harder to read (the cdd style that HN uses for flagged comments)". It makes the board much better.
> in my perfect world (...) cf isn't even in a position to arbitrate speech

This is literally the only thing I'm advocating for. I'm a trans woman that openly speaks about my and others' experiences. Trust me when I say, codified systems for reporting abuse are themselves the target of the same abuse. I've gotten the "Sorry, we're leaving this up" from reporting anti trans content on Facebook. I've had comments saying sex != gender reported/removed so many times, a Reddit account I used straight up isn't allowed to comment anywhere anymore. All the YouTube shit you hear conservatives whine about straight up just scans the autogenerated transcript for any mention of political phrases like "LGBT" or sexually explicit language like might come up in discussing my transition. All these reasons are why I'm fine with Kiwi Farms coming down but I don't think Cloudflare should change their stance on avoiding it in almost all situations.

The donation thing is that Cloudflare refuses to profit off of this and is therefore incentivized to avoid such customers. Companies are always going to pick the path of greatest profit so engraining morality in that path is better than not doing it.
Are the China-embarrassing state visits to Taiwan an example of diplomacy and cooperation?

That kind of cooperation and diplomacy is called coercion and incitement.

The problem is, China and India have grown up now and they are going to behave like adults. And how do adult role models behave in the century XXI? Afghanistan, Lybia, Iraq, that's how.
They'd have to get the chips from somewhere, and everything else that isn't made in China.
I live in a climate that is probably equivalent to Albuquerque, so it doesn't get much drier.
If I learned one thing from designing is similar systems in the past is to avoid referential data as much as possible haha

I did not go into such depth here, but individual function calls record (duration, billing_rate, total_cost) as plain values and also references `billing_rate` used (setting foreign constraint to restrict to avoid accidentally nuking data).

Had at least one instance where an engineer in our team modified a value in rates table causing havoc to the entire billing system that relied on referential values used to calculate balances

I want to build in as much redundancy as possible, even if that means duplicating data in several places
Exactly. Which is why they should stop calling it "verification"
Well, I think Chinese providers will not entrust in US technology moving forward. Who knows when next ban would come.

I think this ban will result in worse off situtation for both countries. China is a huge market for Nvidia after all. While China will become ever more isolated in the landscape of AI/Graphics community, which is a big bad news for it apparently.

China will create its own GPUs eventually, but probably with an incompatible standard that suits only Chinese market. Like Japan in 80s/90s.
This is technically true but the number of GitHub outages which have prevented you from doing that for more than a couple of minutes is pretty low. In comparisons like this, the more important question is not “is GitHub perfect?” but rather “what are you comparing it to?” — internal systems are notorious time-sinks and productivity levels from using GitHub normally are high enough that I think it'd be quite fair to conclude that you're still well ahead of where you'd be even if you have an extended coffee break once or twice a year.
It seems ridiculous that we don't officially acknowledge Taiwan. But to say it's not China, might be misleading. Does the Taiwanese government still make claim on China?
I knew someone who learned on the job until they got fired. They faired much better on the next job. Hard times call for hard people.
I don’t know about the current generation, but past high end pre-“data center” branded Quadro and Tesla cards were manufactured by PNY in the United States and Taiwan (which is not the PRC).
> doors that require a lot of force to open

These already exist! Especially when a door opens outward and it's windy outside and the wind is pushing against it.
Interesting. The reason I find it worth pointing out is that the "entity" and "component" parts are not really that interesting by themselves. You could have an object-oriented "entity-component" system where components encapsulate game logic, for instance. It's the separation of game logic into the separate "systems" that is interesting. That said, the actual implementation of "systems" varies so much that it's not surprising people focus on the "entity" and "component" parts.
Paul Pelosi bought calls, genius.
It's an artificial distinction, and I reject it. They know inciting violence is wrong, but they argue that providing services to people who do so is okay because they have a higher purpose of preventing cyberattacks. I think that's absurd.
I've had this happen so I always check the websites of their last employer now specifically for copypasta.

It only happened once ever. But I just keep on checking.
Money, as well as the prospects of further money down the line.
KiwiFarms doesn't half-ass, they ignore. They need to try before they can be excused for trying.
If you have that access, you should use svnsync instead. For a large repository, running rsync can take hours just hashing all the individual files on either end to compare, just to eventually update one or two revisions. svnsync is much more 'aware', and so it's much easier to keep up to date if necessary.
More competition is always good, no matter the politics behind it.
Yeah it's picking quite a lot of baggage by using the relatively short list of deps.

Debug symbols stripped it clocks at 5.9M, all symbols stripped it's at 5.0M.

Obviously this is not critical. But I have to admit I envy Zig and OCaml. :)
I recall reading this somewhere else, but I for the life of me can't find the source. Do you happen to know where I can read more about this?
If you have formed the opinion that it's not warranted to omit the scorn when you talk about people using AC, or to learn more about how it might be warranted, then that's pretty much that.

If anyone else has clicked into the thread for whatever reason and wants to learn, here are resources I'd recommend. US-centric, sorry.

* https://health2016.globalchange.gov/low/ClimateHealth2016_02... - connects with climate change projections, talks a bit about how even sub-"extreme" heat conditions can lead to health issues

* https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/tracking/topics/Heat.htm - pretty cool data resources

* https://www.cdc.gov/climateandhealth/docs/UseOfCoolingCenter... - esp. in places like AZ where the need is really really clear, "cooling centers" are becoming a thing.

* https://www.nationalpartnership.org/our-work/resources/healt... - Heat and pregnancy go together really badly. This piece is kind of lobbying, so less reputable than the CDC stuff, but aggregates some pretty eye-popping statistics; citations on page 5.

* https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/full/10.1289/EHP6221 - preterm births, low birth weights, heart defects – bleak stuff.

* https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/policy-guidance/liheap-im-2022-0... - the programs that used to mainly just help low-income households afford energy bills are being directed to help afford AC equipment/installation as well. If you know someone who needs this help, start at https://liheapch.acf.hhs.gov/search-tool/

* https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/heatstress/acclima.html - NIOSH has some useful recommendations about how to acclimatize to heat safely. ("acclimatize" being the individual body ramping up its ability to deal with heat – interestingly, when people in this field use the word "adapt", increasing AC penetration is one of the things that goes into that)
That is the plan! We too love the detail and transparency of Paula's Choice!
I'm calling Father Damien if that happens.
it was a poorly explained parallel to "anything profitable and technically legal is fine."
Yes, this is the way. Only issue is needing to login to everything again on restart/reboot, but it's a small price to pay.
Yes, "avoid global variables".

I forgot to write that one. In fact, I'd say, try to write everything as stateless as possible. That means no shared variables, functional style programming whenever possible (and logical, not for the sake of it).

Debugging a code base with global variables vs. passing what it needs is far easier to reason about when reading the code, but also easier to write tests for. Very good point.

State is evil, but of course you need some otherwise your software doesn't do anything real.
I added the link to my blog on my Twitter and i tweet regularly, hoping that someone will be interested in visiting my twitter profile and eventually clicking that link.

I also implemented a proper Twitter Card support on my blog platform, so i could share my blogpost beautifully on Twitter.

The rest? I post on HN or niche-specific weekly publication (for example, weeklyosm, the signpost).

I think we need more online curated weekly publication platform that serve as a central hub for a certain niche.
Raising the cfg ("classifier-free guidance") scale is essential for following the prompt, but if you raise it too high the image gets weird and saturated.

According to Google's Imagen paper this is literally because the pixels get multiplied by the cfg scale and start clipping; they have a technique called dynamic thresholding that replaces it. Not sure if SD uses this, but I saw Emad hinting they were training an Imagen model…
Yes I read the book as well.

US already has inside chaos (and will get way way, way way, way way worse), don't need to worry about other countries chaos.
Perhaps, but I've seen more than a handful of the hustle culture types crash and burn once they could no longer fake it sufficiently.

Some things you really do need the knowledge, experience and time spent on to navigate successfully, and you just can't fake that consistently as time goes on, especially around other people who do have that knowledge and experience.
The problem isn't necessarily the money after. It's affording it as a student. Even if tuition is covered, somebody has to pay living expenses, books, etc.
"Due to Covid" is open to debate. Is there international consensus on the statistical mapping between excess all-cause mortality, "with Covid" and "from Covid" deaths? All-cause mortality is especially useful when attribution of cause is open to debate.
Do you actually think there is any chance they would investigate?

It’s good, maybe even the best in the field right now, but it’s not mature.
Oh and maybe a timestamp when the feeds were gathered.
> Why wouldn't they just install git on their server?

That's easy, and it's about 5% of the functionality which GitHub provides. Even if you're working entirely in private, the tools you'd have to build yourself to do code review, CI/CD, package management, security updates, etc. are a significant amount of work and that's before you get to things like Codespaces.
It's called having an account. If you see a post from @asdf then the post came from @asdf. No one else can make posts as @asdf.
> Ukraine also wouldn't allow Russia to hold onto any of the terrories it gained, worst case they can wage an asymmetric war making the occupation exceedingly costly.

Once the population of the gained territories begins to get paid for recovering their own cities [1], it becomes exceedingly more difficult for the other side to sell the idea of any military resistance on that land. It worked in Korea [2]. It will work in former eastern Ukrainian territories that have been looking for alignment with Russia even before 2022.

Taiwan is usually treated differently such as being exempt from the Chinese tariffs recently.
Not to mention if you rely on gh actions for ci/cd. I think it makes sense for them to migrate to git and github, but I've been slowly migrating most of my code to sr.ht or self-hosted mirrors. Email patches work pretty well for smaller teams.
I agree with your statement. To elaborate, the appropriate, though somewhat recently coined term, is CSAM - child sexual abuse material. Other coinage normalizes it or minimizes the damage from it.
I'd agree if, outside of nepotism, new grads were faking it into senior or higher level positions that necessitate knowledge and experience that they truly don't possess.
Yes, exactly. I kept getting a "Sorry, something went wrong" with no error code when trying to give a third-party app permissions with my (paid!) Google account, and the most probably reason was that my accounts were locked temporarily due to suspicious activity.

There is no information on how long this will last, there is nothing I can do to fix this, and of course, there is no customer support available. I can't even confirm that waiting will actually fix this, as there is no error code. I thought the people at Google would know better.
> I’ve spent way too many hours stepping through over-abstracted declarative code, getting frustrated at the opacity of it all.

Then it’s not declarative
In Raphael (the cpus that were just launched) the GPU is a tiny, weak one that's sitting on the IO die, while the v-cache chip is integrated on top of the main CPU die. I would suspect that it can't make any use of it, not that it would benefit much because it just doesn't have the compute power. It's really only intended to make the CPUs able to do basic desktop work without a separate GPU.

AMD currently has no published big APUs that would use v-cache, but many enthusiasts, including me, have noted that if they made one and allowed the GPU to share the last-level cache, it would potentially be a very compelling product for mobile. Who knows when/if they make one.

They do have upcoming discrete GPUs which are rumored to optionally contain v-cache (RDNA3, probably released as Radeon RX 7000).
Maybe the HN crowd isn't homogenous.
China recently announced their GPU: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/first-wholly-domestic-chin... - from the specs, it's not bad.
I had someone interview for a job and then a different person showed up to orientation. Locked their accounts immediately and nobody show up the next day. Fired.

When does this work?
Debugging is an important skill in software engineering and it’s hardly ever taught formally in school. So much time is spent in investigating red herrings like “let’s add capacity to system x because rpcs from y to x are slow”, without debugging simpler things like:
“why each rock is slower than before?”
“is it because of total number of rpcs or single rpcs?”

I wonder if there was formal education for this, a lot of people would sleep better.
To me this is a pretty clear message that the US will defend Taiwan with full force.
I'm experimenting with the base model right now, I'm going to be very excited to try that one out too.
> Why do these even exist?

Because there existed a time before ARM, 32-bit processors, and gcc made embedded a monoculture like x86. Because there existed a time before IDEs converged via Language Server Protocol.

This was predictable back when VSCode first came out. Microsoft was pouring more development resource into VSCode that many of those semiconductor companies entire revenue. Either you got on the VSCode train or you were going to get swept aside.

The fact that everybody is whining about proprietary Microsoft remote development plugins while emacs tramp lsp-mode remains broken for an enormous number of cases for years says it all (this is finally what pried emacs out from under my fingers as I got tired of debugging it).
What you are describing is dignity, not respect.

From https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/dignity/201304/what-...

"The most common response people offer is that dignity is about respect. To the contrary, dignity is not the same as respect. Dignity is our inherent value and worth as human beings; everyone is born with it. Respect, on the other hand, is earned through one’s actions."
a magazine cover from the 90s really stands out in my mind (I was a professional C++ coder at the time). It was about some latest-thing code team management and the cover illustration was hand-drawn, of seven gray-beard guys, looking somewhat sagacious with an aura of wisdom and insight, all gathered in a semi-circle around a single whiteboard (like an easle) solving some serious, high skill problem. Anyone with training in classical (european) arts would recognize the council of sages, and the drawing was good. There was no questioning that these (perl programmers?) were at the top of the game on that magazine cover. then came The Google ! haunting image
Huh... not calling cap - but did they get hired via Agency or by different company on the same building? I would assume a large public company does Employment Eligibility Verification (1-9 in US for example) - unless of course he was using a fake SS and name even in paperwork.
We are these artists or better art directors.
Nitpicking the details of the example isn't really a reputation of the more general point, though.

SMIC just announced 7 nm and Biren announced a GPU with claimed H100-like performance.
So all these Indian outsourcing companies like Infosys, Wipro and TCS (just like FAANG, they accronymize to WITCH) hog the American H1B immigration system by submitting an application for as many candidates as possible, and get a large number of H1Bs approved and send their employees to the US.

The salary for these employees isn’t exactly great. If I’m not wrong they still work through these witch companies and get their wages garnished. So these employees generally try to jump ship once they come to the US.

A second pool is the metric ton of immigrant students who come study an MS in vaguely computer related degrees - typically CS MS degrees are a bit more discerning but one example is this MIS degree from a BUSINESS SCHOOL in TAMU that’s just an Indian immigrant degree mill churning out people without much coding abilities at all.

Both these groups now go to these “consultant firms” in the US which take their money, fill out their resume with fake experience and train them to pass your interviews. I have heard all manner of illegal crap including person A attending the interview (even in person) and person B actually turning up for work. How many times have you looked closely enough to confirm it’s the same dude anyway.

These people are shrewd. Doing all of this does take brains. They’re just shit at coding. Some do actually improve over time but some never do.

Source: Indian dude who had college roommates, relatives, friends, acquaintances, etc all do various versions of these shenanigans.

Only way to protect yourself is to have a culture fit interview component, confirm their LinkedIn history isn’t super shady and have at least an informal verification step post offer to ensure you don’t let a rat into the ship.
is the problem essentially not just that if you make irrational numbers the bases, then you make [a significant number of] rational numbers irrational?

So did you go from dev -> lawyer then? What was that like?
Sure, and that approach may be the right one in this new world. I do reject the idea that policing kids' Internet usage is anything like what parents have always had to do, though—it's a totally new challenge on top of all the ones that already existed.

Before, the usual way to keep your kids from seeing (very much, anyway—no system is fool-proof) porn or brutal violence or from encountering any excessively-weird or dangerous subcultures was basically do nothing—if you didn't try to bring that stuff into contact with your kids, odds were they'd encounter very little of it, and likely none unless they were themselves trying to find it. The Internet's flipped that around, so the default is all kinds of horrible stuff being not just available, but possibly pushed at people in your household, including kids, unless you actively work to avoid it.

The norm in earlier cases when others have some say in whether your kids can access such material, is that they're either prohibited by law from providing it, or else are following some prodded-into-existence-by-government industry guidelines that largely prevent access to it by kids. Parents didn't need to spend much time or attention policing that kind of thing, previously.
Serious Question: What about the Apple M[x] series things?

The M2 integrates an Apple designed ten-core (or eight-core) graphics processing unit (GPU). Each GPU core is split into 32 execution units, which each contain eight arithmetic logic units (ALUs). In total, the M2 GPU contains up to 320 execution units or 2,560 ALUs, which have a maximum floating point (FP32) performance of 3.6 TFLOPs.
