This happens often in the Linux kernel to continue to support older assemblers for newer instruction set extensions.

The x86 retbleed mitigation uses .inst to trick the hardware instruction decoder...different instructions are encoded/run than what is speculatively decoded.
Elves are supposed to be a different species of humanoid, so making them more human-like by thinking they're supposed to be a certain way that humans are doesn't feel like the source material. It's important to adhere to that source because they are using the name for recognition. They could have just made a new fantasy story with short hair elves, and I think that would have been judged on its own.
I had faith. I knew someone would get it eventually.
My point is that the case against Drexler’s concept does not collapse because of this one mistake.
I'm enjoying the show so far. I can totally see where you're coming from, too, but I think it's pretty disingeous to give a bunch of opinions and then slap the word "objectively" on them.
I don't disagree, in fact I think that this is a natural consequence of free market pricing, but my point was that the OP says that in France the profits made from the high energy prices are flowing to the state entity and that this should solve the problem of high prices, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.
The advantage of nuclear is that it will work almost certainly, albeit possibly at a high cost. We should continue to invest into wind and solar where that makes economic sense. On the off chance that a magic energy storage technology comes along we can then phase out nuclear again. However, betting the future of an entire continent on the coming into existence of such a technology is wildly irresponsible.
Germany built out their electrical grid with twice the Solar capacity it needs to power the country. Problem is it achieves that kind of sun a few days a year. Germany is not California. Sorry. Not smart. It's a disastrous policy that will kill people.

Absolutely, in practice, math degree is such a good indicator whether a hire will grok code.
But you cant (up)convert WAV to FLAC? right? so if your source is WAV or MP3, FLAC is irrelevant?
Also, you can opt-out of arbitration in california (I believe if you notify them in a specific time period)
People say parents have to parent, society won't. Then when people say they'll put rules on the internet people say "damn that's crazy you're gonna do that?". Sometimes I feel as though much of society doesn't understand how parenting actually works
From my understanding (I took two relevant undergrad courses, definitely not an expert) lossy compression can involve either losing certain frequencies (like those above/below human hearing), or losing the accuracy of the reproduction (like a certain frequency component of the sound could be the smallest bit louder/quieter or higher/lower than it was originally).
This comment reads weird after France just vetoed again Spain's proposal to export natural gas to Germany through France - the medgas pipeline.
Why do people always ask “why?” on these things? Not everything has to be “useful” or have commercial value. The original games aren’t going anywhere. People just enjoy doing this kind of stuff, pushing the technology to make interesting things.
It's really at the point where I need to repeat the same thing:

> > > Many parties deciding independently whether to "entertain my nonsense" is good. One critical party in the path (governmental or commercial) is bad.

Have a nice rest of your day; I'm done.
Absolutely, but the context of the article was specifically Kubernetes.

<MrKrabs>Money.</MrKrabs>

They aren't actively lying or even putting in effort to lie for the sake of it. They just aren't putting in the effort to uncover the truth and explaining things beyond outrage bait. A few clickbait articles help generate clicks among a majority crowd that doesn't even know what KF is, and will have forgotten by tomorrow. They just care about the clicks.

Which leads to millions of half-truths which are far more complicated in depth, but most people aren't going through the effort to criticize what they read. They just want the quick drama to talk about and go on with their day.

Anyone who's read a magazine intended for the opposite gender can tell most of the articles regarding their own gender is largely bogus half-truths missing nuance. It's no different in most other spaces, but it's not as obvious when you don't have expertise on the matter yourself.
Isn't ARM suing Qualcomm?

Are you naysaying Stable Diffusion or the idea of generative models for art in general?

It's hard to look at what's happened in the last few months and not think of it as akin to the invention of the steam engine, but for art.

It's not perfect, as early machines had many flaws, were wildly inefficient, produced irregular output. But the innovation that followed created the industrial revolution.
Many of them apply to every major communications service.

I could cite examples of harassment and "stochastic terrorism" on Twitter, reddit, Facebook, etc, but I doubt I need to.
It's the same as in every other mediocre fantasy with poor writing: the "Good" people against "Great Evil", which is usually manifested as some kind of deformed monsters, deep voices, nefarious deeds and ominous music.

Meanwhile, this conflict is padded with needlessly elaborate, yet meaningless side storylines and fake drama appealing to the 18-25 demographic.
Every increase in energy prices causes suffering, but many ignore that side of the ledger.
Yes, the combined valuation number you cited is the one I was referring to. You're right that it's not correct to call this "portfolio value"; thanks for pointing out the mistake. (But it is still the correct number to compare SendGrid's $2B exit value to.)
The most obvious solution is to produce even more stuff in China and kill all European industry. Problem solved
Show HN: I built an app that texts you Nietzsche daily
Hi everyone,

I made an app that texts you one line from Nietzsche's "Twilight of the Idols" a day. I made it because I read the book, and thought that it would be cool to be able to really chew on what Nietzsche is saying line by line. Also, there's an integrated discussion subreddit that will take your text responses, so you can write what you think and see what other people say!
>A good programmer will not be lulled into complacency by such reasoning

And that's the crux of it. Donald neglected to understand that most programmers will takeaway "optimization is bad" and all the subtleties of his point will be lost.

Then we get things like electron (ducks for cover)
Well you’ve gotta either run it locally or pay for it. The GPUs this stuff runs on are too expensive to offer unlimited use for free.
Are those surveys self-reported/verified or algorithmic assumptions? I feel like a lot of algorithms and criticisms assume default/normal/non-characteristic person as men, and are wrong because of that.
Can you link to where there was evidence of said swatting? the one folder specifically named "toronto swatting info" has literally nothing regarding swatting, just regarding a dox.

You even have in the document made by herself people explicitly being against it, to the point of saying people who do it should kill themselves[0].

It depends on your field of course. With experience, you will understand how to do things and you won't even realize how many mistakes you avoided by just not 'being stupid'. In my area it's often best to do a pre-production phase that is more of an R&D phase to explore the tech you need to incorporate or invent. This is where you iterate and yes optimize. It's hard to estimate at this stage. Then in the production phase you can have smoother sailing as the tech is established and the content is more or less production line. Estimates are accurate. Like a factory.
That is not true. Wind output is highly correlated across the continent. Days in which wind output is very low happen regularly. In fact, every couple of years there is an entire week like that.
I'm thankfully having trouble going there today, but I'll note that (a) you narrowed the topic to only swatting and gosh I wonder why that is, and also (b) that posts celebrating swatting are somehow mitigated by being 'ridiculed by other users' is an intriguingly contortionist theory.
There is great value in wrapping a generic offering for a specific purpose, I congratulate you! I apologise if it felt like I was being critical.
I like how the cited text says it’s more environmentally friendly so long as you don’t factor in non-degradability and marine pollution

Literally says ‘Bluetooth’ in the original comment.
First goes liquidity, then too goes pricing. Might get a tattoo...
Given how incredibly complex human health is, it’s no trivial task to identify precisely how/why some specific behavior is “healthy” or “unhealthy”. Given that predicament, our best guide is what our ancestors did, since it’s passed the test of evolutionary time to at least get us to our present moment. The burden of proof is on any reformer to demonstrate why his reform is better than the tradition.

In the case of something as ancient as meat eating, which is so fundamental to our species as to be reflected in our very physiology (teeth, digestive system), this is an extremely high bar.
After thinking about this for a few minutes, the author might be on the wrong track connecting this with containers.

But I think there's something really there about "environmental linting". I know deep in my bones I need write access to make log files, but I don't know how many times I've debugged systems lacking this permission.

I know the log path won't be known until runtime, I know the port can be specified at runtime, but I think there's a ton of room for improvement around a tool that says - hey, you're making this set of assumptions about your environment, and you should have these health checks or tests or whatever.

I agree with you about this is what containers give, but I think the author is really on to something about the dev tooling and environment warning about what sorts of permissions are needed to, like, work.
Fair enough, but neither Ecto nor Phoenix are part of the stdlib, but being written by the some of core language maintainers with such a focus on documentation, they provide a great example for everybody to follow. Having excellent docs on the core libraries, the main SQL datamapper and web framework is the reason why Elixir is so loved even though it's quite a niche language.

As a new Rust fan I would just love to have the std docs half as good as Elixir's. I constantly get lost in rustdoc.
As someone whose job is mostly to read and debug others' code, thanks.
I’m not criticizing it because it’s not useful. I’m criticizing it because it is not art, and it is anti-humanist.
that's only true if every plastic bag user disposes of the bags properly. part of the problem of using plastic bags is that it increases the demand. i specifically ask for less plastic bags in the produce section in order to teach the sales person that it is not necessary to have each item individually wrapped as is the custom here. i want them to apply that to other customers and so reduce the use of bags even more.
I don’t think that’s relevant. The point is just that you really can’t shout ‘fire!’ in a crowded theatre and use a free speech defense to escape responsibility for your actions. Various other scenarios may or may not have been found to be legally analogous to this one by various courts. Nonetheless, the example still serves to illustrate the limits of free speech.

To put it another way, Brandenburg v. Ohio didn’t find that it actually is ok to shout ‘fire!’ in a crowded theatre. Rather, it found that a particular instance of speech wasn’t analogous to that example.
My anecdote: I did my intro aerospace engineering homework on spreadsheets instead of using my HP15C calculator and paper. The spreadsheets helped organize and track errors easily. To no ones surprise except my freshman self, I couldn't replicate the results on tests where I didn't have access to spreadsheet software. Doing things more 'by hand' results in more reinforced learning in my humble opinion. Did not become an aerospace engineer :(
Why do we need the stupid market mechanisms at all? Government owned gas and electric monopolies, generation to the meter (heck, even extraction if the relevant reserves exist within the country), and a sizeable fuel fund to smooth out short term spikes. If the spikes are serious enough, you can run it at a loss for a while to keep people from freezing to death.

All that and you get the benefit of oversight and democratic control of natural monopolies that deliver commodities that are necessary for day-to-day life in Europe. And nobody gets to make a profit from owning shares in the gas company. Sounds like a win-win.
Kiwi Farms is merely being encouraged to be responsible for their speech without the help of a few others. What is wrong with that?
Oh, and the pictures look like shit.
But even that has to be taken with a grain of salt. There are kinds of critical code that are hard to identify. Think of the infamous O(n^2) algorithms which are not identified unless you measure high values of n. Or not well coordinated threads that slow down a programm only on specific occasions.
What's missing is the charm. In general, AI-generated visual content tends to have a very sterile look to it. The only image in said thread that looks even remotely decent to me is the one of a canyon/bridge. The rest are what I'd classify as voids.
> The change feels imminent

Really? I see zero chance of it. A4, while mathematically nice, offers very little benefit and is an awkward (just a little too large) size to handle. Consistent ratios are of extremely dubious value; if I'm reducing a text by 50%, I'm going to retypeset it anyway. A5 is even more awkward than A4. Too big.
50% is near to the current lab demonstrated limits for multi-junction, the theoretical max (with infinite layers) is around 88%
My understanding is that they are only occupying areas they managed to take.
It seems odd to me that people don’t fly with earplugs or white noise generating sources (headphones, etc). Stranger still that a pilot would forego these conveniences.
I think people here are mostly upset about Germany shutting down their nuclear plants. Also Germany is seen as nation that controls the EU.
The key point is masking: if a sound at a given frequency is loud enough, you are less likely to perceive weaker sounds at other frequencies. So there is little point in wasting bits on those frequencies during the time intervals where they are being swamped.

The exact frequency/amplitude relationships where masking effects come into play were studied by the telecoms early on (meaning in the 1950s-1960s era), and are still a key part of most lossy encoding models these days.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_band and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics as an introduction to the principles.
See your kernel; raise you the whole data center.
First, please consider the context of my comment.

Second, Rust itself is implemented with unsafe. Self-referential data structures are necessary for some problem domains, and those must be implemented with unsafe. Unsafe exists and is a tool that is sometimes necessary. When it is necessary, it should be used carefully.

Just because you haven't needed unsafe personally doesn't mean others don't. And the Rust developers aren't superintelligences capable of using it correctly while the rest of us mere mortals aren't.
It is relevant if the courts later overturned the decision and it is now considered free speech.

I get your point, it's just a bad example given the historical baggage.
Perhaps biological population macro models make sense - let things bloom, then cull the ones that don't meet societal goals. Regulation is the pruning factor, in great times, things bloom but the critical work is aligning the pruning shears with goals.

This perspective implies there is no right setting across time - the variance between permissive and restrictive is the value.
Considering DDoS is illegal where I live, no, nobody has the right to do that here! What does that have to do with Kiwi Farms?
The elephant in the room contrast: Apple has been shipping this for years, whereas Intel _might_ ship theirs in something later this year.

And 90% of the time professional printers are going to be printing to huge sheets and cutting it down anyway.
No offense but after reading this I have no idea what your business is or why I'd want to use it and I reckon >90% of tech people reading this won't either.

I'd suggest really dumbing it down.
If he doesn't think he should have the power he has, he should step away from it. It's not as though he's Claudius, an inadvertent emperor who believes in the Republic but is afraid of being murdered if he lets go of the reins. He's free to quit any time he likes and take this weight off his mind. If he has qualms about handing this power to anybody else, he shouldn't have accumulated this much power in the first place.

Truth is he likes the money, and the power. That's why he has it.
The swats were not verified as coming from KF, and they said they oppose that sort of thing. I noticed that some of the people KF had threads on, were targeted specifically because they overstep the boundaries of what KF considers acceptable (for instance the "Ralph Retort" blogger).

You could still argue that Kiwifarms still "enables" people who are even worse than them, in the same way that certain glossy magazines enable harassment of various celebrities. Certainly Kiwifarms themselves get worked up over people who merely "enable" bad things, so they don't have that much non-hypocritical leg to stand on. Still, we used to defended those magazines for free speech reasons, and for the sake of the few times they reveal something genuinely in the public interest.

(The "credible bomb threats" was IMO not very credible, it was a fresh account claiming to be able to commandeer out Irish paramilitaries to bomb multiple sites in minutes. And the post was reported instantly, and removed within minutes. That's something that could happen to all sites that allow public comments.)
I've enjoyed a few of those as well, but there's one thing that keep bugging me.

Supposedly it takes very little time, little investment (a few people doing most of it by hand with some guidance) and works like magic (e.g. Al Baydha Project).

Why isn't there a "revolution" happening and every neighboring area also adopting that approach?

So much of it seems so obvious, I'd expect some people with excavators building some berms in the US deserts and the place exploding with life in a year or three. But it doesn't happen. Why? Are there any issues that aren't shown in the films? Are there powerful enemies (who wants to keep the desert deserted?) that are lobbying against it?
Would they? I don't think they would any more. Any recent examples?

> as a result of other people using their free speech rights.

Running a DDoS is really stretching the definition of "using their free speech rights", I think. But firing you from a job or closing your bank account for saying wrong things is "private companies adjusting their priorities" too. I wonder how long you could make a living if you can't use banking services, or phone services, or internet services - all of which are run by private companies? How long it would be before CPS shows at you door to take your children - because private utility companies refused to serve you and it's not safe for them to be there anymore? You can take that "private companies adjusting their priorities" pretty far. If you think in this situation you still have free speech because you can still stand on a public square and yell into the sky - you definition of freedom of speech is flawed, and honestly, pretty useless in practice.
That brings back the memories. I was one of the first students to submit a word processed paper at my college. "Just in case," I had bought a cheap and slow daisywheel printer. I cooked up this idea to prepare my pages with correction fluid before printing them, but never found it necessary.

I ended up asking one professor if it was OK to use word processing. He said, just this once. The next week, there was an all-faculty meeting (small college), and they actually discussed whether word processing should be allowed. The profs who were already using word processing spoke up in its defense -- from the physics department. They reassured everybody that the computer was not doing the writing. The college came out with a statement saying it was OK, but that we were on our honor to not use a spell checker.

By the time I graduated, every prof was using a word processor.

What I don't think the profs figured out, for several more years, was how to grade a paper that's mechanically perfect. All of my papers got A's, and I chose courses where the grade was based solely on written work. I think in terms of efficiency and aesthetics, using a word processor bumped my GPA by easily half a point by graduation. I was already a good typist thanks to programming.

Many years later, when my kids were in grade school, the writing assignments included formatting requirements, including margins in inches, for documents that would never be printed. These requirements came from the ironically named "Modern" Language Association. Today, teachers say, any format you want, just get it in by the deadline.
The article talks of $50,000 in rubles. Russia can create those for about nothing.

Which Breaking Bad did you watch? The show literally opened with in your face action.

Just read to refresh everything that happened in episode 1, I pasted the first paragraph below, from here https://breakingbad.fandom.com/wiki/Pilot

> In the New Mexico desert, a man wearing nothing but his underwear and a gas mask erratically drives an RV down a desolate dirt road. In the passenger seat, another man is passed out, also wearing a gas mask. In the back of the RV are two bodies. After crashing the RV in a ditch, the driver climbs out, dons a shirt hanging from the side view mirror, and retrieves a video camera and gun from the vehicle. Recording a message on the camera, the man identifies himself as Walter White and bids a cryptic farewell to his wife and son. Sirens are heard in the distance. Walt walks onto the road and awaits the apparent approach of police, gun in hand.
Despite having a big early mover advantage, Google botched Android multiple times over the years. The biggest sin is its failure to provide a coherent direct messaging product to compete with iMessage. The network effect with iCloud and iMessage is strong.

The second big fuck up is the whole OEM licensing scheme. Maybe this made sense at the time given what happened to the PC market, but now we have a ton of Android phones that barely get security updates for 3 years.

Now with all the OEMs dropping "niche" features like headphone jacks and physical buttons, you're just buying a shittier iPhone. The only reason I use Android is because it allows me to sideload FOSS apps, but with coming EU legislation this might be a possibility for iPhones too
Does it count as spoilers to say that it's Sauron forging the One Ring, given it's in the name of the show?
