There was enough overlap that I thought a wrapper would make sense.

With a lot of the JPEG XL code written, when SVE and RVV were being introduced/discussed, I realized that pretty much the same code would work there, too: we just needed to replace a constexpr VecClass::kLanes with Lanes(), which is what Highway now does.

Beyond the initial set of efficient-everywhere ops, we've added some (such as AbsDiff) that help on say Arm without hurting other platforms, nor can user code do better itself. There are also a few (ReorderWidenMulAccumulate) that define a non-obvious relaxation of the interface which is more efficient for all platforms than holding to any one platform's interface.

For RVV, one remaining concern is the VSETVLI - the revised intrinsics now require an avl argument, which Highway creates in each function. It's not yet clear whether the compiler will be smart enough to (peephole-?)optimize away the duplicates.

>Maybe a lower population -> lower housing prices

That's not how real estate pricing works in the real world capitalism. Germany's population has been on decline for ~30 years due to demographics, yet housing has been getting more and more expensive, far outpacing wage growth in the last few decades, especially after the QE bull run from ~2013, so much so that owning your home is impossible for the average German.

Why is that you wonder? That's not how free market economy should work right? If now there is less demand for a good due to population shrinkage, then prices should come down right?

Well, that's because housing is not a good, it's a speculative investment asset, so as soon as people die and are not replaced, their free houses don't magically end up in the hands of those who would need them the most to buy at a discount, but end up on the "free market" being bough by existing rich home owners, investors, speculators and publicly listed real-estate conglomerates, using their existing assets and capital as leverage to buy even more houses for their investment portfolio. And governments and banks have ensure the policies to make sure this asset keeps going up, up, up.

When housing is an investment vehicle, then it can never be affordable, regardless of the population decline.

Like a commenter above said, which explains why home prices are not coming down despite population shrinkage: "people are not competing for houses, piles of money are. The bigger piles are winning."
As stated by others, external sound "cards" (boxes would be a better term) are still prevalent in pro-audio applications, and may have evolved from internal cards not only for the convenience of plug-and-play, but to allow accessing cables more easily than diving behind a PC tower.

There are still "cards" being made for pro-audio users, that embed DSPs for computing plugin algorithms [1]. Not quite the same application, but an interesting parallel.

Private data can be something as simple as DMs between people, which if leaked can cause plenty of trouble (an example that comes to mind is streamers having to deal with a lot of drama from their fanbase because leaks revealed they were acquainted with a streamer of the opposite gender).

On top of that with so many government officials and company CEOs on the platform it should be pretty obvious why access to the backend should be carefully controlled. There already was that incident a few years ago where someone got access to the backend via social engineering and tweeted out crypto scams from high profile accounts like Musk, Biden, Bezos, Apple etc.

The answer is simple: Who benefits from a soundcard?

For your average consumer, built-in audio is plenty good. Not much reason to get any extra hardware at all.

For audio enthusiast consumers who want better than what onboard offers for some reason, an internal card is only useful for desktp computers, whereas external DACs are uasable on mobile devices and laptops - and that's what most people use.

For audio producers, an internal soundcard can't physically fit the I/O you need. 1/4" jacks, XLR, that sort of thing, so older professional cards all had breakout boxes. If you're going to have a breakout box anyway, might as well have the whole device be self-contained and plugged in through Firewire (or, more recently, USB or TB). Depending on your setup, you might even have these things rack-mounted.
OpenCL still works amazingly well on all platforms (e.g. two commercial programs of mine), it's just that everyone keeps saying it's dead and refusing to use it :(

As if compiling any given C program wasn't also a crap shoot.

People also tend to forget that these ML packages are ridiculously complicated, and have a lot of dependencies not just on other libraries but on particularities of your system.

That, and ML researchers can't also be expected to be good at everything. They are busy doing ML research and waiting to be given a recipe to follow.

Meanwhile I can put together a Python package in my sleep that works perfectly on pretty much any system, but I don't know a damn thing about Autotools and would probably make a total mess if I tried use it. Or CMake. Or whatever Java uses.

This "look Python bad!!" stuff has some merit (if only historical), but it mostly amounts to FUD and does a big disservice to the people who have worked hard over the past few years to get everything fixed up.

Plus at least one of the issues I see here is because people disregarded the instructions and used Python 3.9 even though it says to use 3.10 because the code assumes it's running under 3.10.
Essentially, that they have no idea what they're asking, while making a big effort to appear like they do.
Been running some Facebook Lead ads recently. The ads are designed to run on both Facebook and Instagram.

(Facebook owns Instagram)

The lead reports show where they are coming from.

Overwhelmingly from Instagram. I think we got about 20% of leads from core Facebook and the rest from IG.

The core old timey Facebook is actually dying pretty quickly. All the traffic is going elsewhere.

And all the bugs on Facebook.com is not helping matters. Especially on desktop.

We really started to examine all of this and it’s startling the quick decline.
A reality since browsers support plugins, what we are getting is the reinvention of what they already supported, with the difference of being native browser APIs.
Maybe, maybe not, but that wasn't the claim here. It was just a shitty argument against sqlite, one that could equally apply to mysql, lisp, questdb, apl, and a host of other tech if it were valid. Organizations choose tech stacks for a ton of reasons, most of which are only loosely related to performance and maintenance characteristics. The (proposed) fact that most organizations don't scale out sqlite doesn't say much at all about whether doing so I'd a good idea.

> I think this effort to chase TikTok isn't going to pan out because "regular" people aren't posting to Instagram.

For me that isn't the case - I follow mostly "regular" people and enjoy it, but...

The problem I have with Instagram is that when I open the app I want to see the photos that people I've followed have posted since I last opened, it in time order. Yet It's quite a struggle not to see reels or suggested posts or people posting spam. 50% of the time I open IG the first post shown to me is from a hashtag I follow but its an image of an attractive young women with a very loose connection to the hashtag.

By copying other successful paradigms within IG and FB, Meta are destroying what remains of the products and users they have. I occasionally use TikTok but don't want to see a weak version of it on IG

TikTok is not the same offering as Facebook though right? It competes in the Instagram and YouTube space. One thing about FB though is that it was the first social media platform that my mom and dad joined. FB was big enough for the boomers to join it. And I figure that is the moat, the boomers who for the first and only time in their lives joined a social platform and they ain't changing it up now.

There was a post on hacker news a while back about a study in Finland showing that it doesn't matter if the new builds are "luxury", they increase so supply which will always eventually stop/slow/reverse price increases.

This actually makes sense in terms of supply and demand but more interestingly it's because people tend to "upgrade" when they move this then frees up space at the lower end of the market.

You don't have to be an extremely heavy user. I used it for about an hour every evening and it took 11 days out of a month subscription for them to put me on relax mode.

The relax mode is based on how busy the service is. If usage is low, it's the same a fast mode. But other times its really slow.

That makes it unpredictable enough that it stopped being fun for me to use it. I've barely used midjourney since I got put on relaxed mode - it stopped feeling like I can jump on and play because I might hit a busy period and then it'll take 5 minutes to generate a prompt

That said, I could buy more hours of fast mode and I think it's still way cheaper than Dall-E or Dreamstudio

Points for the syntax and speed.

However it really needs a bit of “wow” factor to take off.

We’ve used it here and there in dribs and drabs but don’t see a reason to use it in a new project when there is Elixir and/or Rust.

Elixir brings the easy to use concurrency almost automatically. This and other features make it almost unbeatable for web and backend stuff.

Rust is just as fast as crystal. Albeit harder to grok.

Python was literally saved by the numerical libraries. Or there would not be real reason to keep using it.

I keep one weather eye open on crystal to see how it’s doing but have seen no real reason to start a new project with it as yet.

For me the syntax is not reason enough as yet. Elixir is maybe easier and functional to boot. Being object oriented in 2022 is not a good reason either.

I’m an old rubyist and I wish Crystal the best. I’ve been following it since it was a gleam in the eye, But … why? And for what??
