See my comment elsewhere but usb-c to hdmi or thunderbolt to hdmi is always an active conversion, and those converter chips are (in my experience) pretty shitty around edge cases like sleeping. Those problems I’m referencing only show up when the laptop comes back from sleep.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32714107

Wouldn’t be surprising at all to me if it was just down to the active converter not handling it right, even on a fancy expensive dock. There are only so many active converter chips on the market after all and they’re oriented towards cost not correctness.

And I mean, mine sorta works after sleep… like 3/4 or 7/8 times. And if it were an active cable that you were plugging and unplugging every time, that works 100%. You only notice the flaw because it’s a dock, and that’s not really what the converter was designed for.
Update, as I read more on the topic: In the case of KiwiFarms this is not even close to being about free speech. On that platform coordinated attacks on specific people have been planned, driving a few into suicide.

To all those downvoting: How would you think if the target of these attack was your mother, sister, daughter? Should there be a legal way to make them stop? Or should it just be legal to coordinate harassing and threaten people whose appearance, opinion, political opinion, sexual preferences, etc you don't like?

And before someone comes with the slippery slope argument: I live in Germany, we have certain Nazi symbols banned for decades here and it hasn't harmed the discourse one bit. You just can't walk around and go like "Heil Hitler" in public without having to fear some sort of retaliation. You can still talk about Nazis, you can learn about them, you can still be a Nazi. But if there was a slippery slope, why didn't it slip – for decades?

Btw.: Most Europeans would regard the censorship of female nipples, swear words and anything remotely sexual like it is so commonplace in the US as an impediment on free speech. But if it is ingrained in the prude traditionalism, it is suddenly okay censorship, right?
I think partly this was because they wanted only the highest end phones not using Symbian.

You might want to slow down & step back from the problem at hand. Go through basic cloud & DevOps tutorials. There is no need for VMs in a CloudRun + CloudSQL setup. (technically the sql has a VM, but that is abstracted and won't be in your list) Or another way, you should see zero VMs running, no VPC connector is needed.
Another advice is to have a thick skin and ignore the jerks, like for instance someone downvoting your note that was written with a good intention, sharing something learnt the hard way.
Interesting, this is why I switched from android to apple ~ 5 years ago.

I was expecting a very important phone call for the outcome of the surgery of a person very close to me.

The smartphone, the Samsung galaxy S7 edge, finally rang, and I was trying to answer the the call, but no, android was doing something more important in the background, the whole UI was frozen and the phone call banner was not responding to touch. Finally, the phone rebooted by itself, and then it was back to normal. But my call was missed.

I did not get to listen to my person, because my android smartphone, was more smart and less phone.

Facebook "stealing" the word Meta from public use pretty much sums up the company's vision for me - uninspired at best.

When I think about the possibilities of AR, I never think "meeting with people". Maybe in VR. But I could care very little less about that.

The possibilities for AR are absolutely immense. And I look forward to a world where the physical space is aided by technology. Much in the same way 30 years ago I looked forward to a digital world. And we see how that tuned out.
PLLs are also fairly large analogue circuitry in your otherwise digital logic.

Sure, but I would assume that the priorities for a private university are different than a public one. A private university might optimize for profitability and university ranking, while a public one might optimize for providing the most accessible and highest quality education while staying within budgetary guidelines.

It's like saying that American universities are the best on the "amount spent on American football facilities per student" ranking. It's true, but the other universities might not be competing on that particular metric and focusing on other ones.
> The Kodak Disc camera was introduced with great fanfare in 1982. The new cameras were lightweight, foolproof (with auto-exposure and built-in flash), affordable, and used a brand new kind of film cartridge.

My dad owned a darkroom/photoshop/one-hour lab for about 30 years starting in the 70s. I worked for him for about 5 of those years centered around highschool.

There is absolutely no such thing as a foolproof camera. You would not believe all the ways people can screw up even the most "foolproof" of designs.

As just one example: with a traditional 35 mm camera, the film unspools from its lightproof cartridge onto a take-up spool in the camera. When you reach the end of of the roll, you press a button on the camera to release a clutch, then you turn a knob to rewind the film back into its cartridge before opening the camera back and removing the film.

https://filtergrade.com/load-film-35mm-camera/

One obvious and easy to make error is accidentally opening the camera back before rewinding the film, usually ruining ("fogging") all the pictures you shot. :-(

But what you wouldn't guess someone would be able to do is to rewind the film without releasing the clutch. Doing so requires a large amount of force because you're tearing the sprockets off the side of the film where it travels over the gear that's normally used to advance the film.

Any yet, this is something I saw more than one time. Customers would never admit to doing this, but I mean, come on, we'd open the cartridge to remove the film for development and the sides would have been torn off and there's only one way this happens.

Then there's the questions... no, dropping the exposed film did not blur the images.
Fool me once...

They have removed multiple sites after a mob asked them to. How is it not turning into a precedent?
I'm not certain but I think we're in perfect agreement here. The environment in which people live has changed and I think that should be the obvious first target to change.

I think this urge to blame people for the effects of their environment seen in the one of the parent post is an example of a very dark part of our attitude toward change. It is very easy and tempting to short circuit into ridiculing positive changes in favor of instead attempting to fix it by punishment/shaming ("People will literally rezone entire cities rather than saying we need to eat less food and workout more")
Unsure if DOS, but I rather enjoyed Quenzar's Caverns:

There was also a game called God of Thunder where you play as Thor that played in a fashion like Legend of Zelda (collect items, bring to an NPC to advance, fight bosses) but can't think of the name now. It was playable in DOSBox on Windows 7, haven't tried it elsewhere yet. IIRC, you had to type in the run commands rather than just double-click to play, but that may have been me not taking time to set up something easier.
n_samples is the batching number. Total memory used scales like "Model Mem Size + n_samples * Batch Mem Size". The memory needed for a batch is smaller than the model but not trivial.
The Pixel 6 is an overhyped disappointment. I replaced my old super-cheap Android One phone with a Pixel 6 and it's full of hardware / software bugs: GPS has problems, I see graphics artefacts (GPU problems?) and Google doesn't care.

I'm not surprised at all it has such a problem.

I should have bought an iPhone SE.
Let's start by not naming something USB4 2.0. Can anyone explain how that can be a good idea?
Whoa. My spouse was unable to dial 911 in the US once (probably the only time it was tried on that phone). Thankfully it wasn't a life-or-death, get-me-to-the-ER emergency and we just used my phone (Pixel 3). We thought it was an isolated bug on just that phone but this sounds super dangerous now.

Quite possibly, mate!

I don't have any skin in the game in terms of Apple anymore. I use Android these days, and I use F-Droid, and all the apps on it are FOSS and possible to audit. If privacy/security is a concern, the only winning move is not to play with closed source OS and firmware on devices.

Side-loading and installing from binary blobs is the counter-balancing choice: don't use any third-party app store, pick-and-choose what you run. Not to do any disservice to F-Droid, it's an excellent option, but only doing what you could do by hand.
Because it can also heat a house at the same energy efficiency, that is, better than electrical resistance or gas heating.
I haven't seen it mentioned in the conversation so here it goes: you really want to survive a disaster? Focus on building a strong community. This individualist approach to survivalism seems to be based on a complete fear of others, or a selfishness of grabbing for oneself and hoping to ride it out (you won't).

The best reason, in my opinion, for individuals to be prepared for disaster is that it takes pressure off the community. One less family for the first responders to have to worry about, more time to focus on the less fortunate.

Want to survive a disaster? Be a good neighbor, and start building a strong community today.
Zuckerberg as the "Boss / CEO" sucks & many folks question the business decisions of the board. But Zuckerberg as the engineering manager (I am told by multiple sources) is still well respected within Meta infra & engineering. When it comes to taking grasp of running a infrastructure company, the guy gets a lot of things right by remaining hands-on. A lot of the technical matters are still overseen by him personally.

In many ways his working style reminds me of Bill Gates of mid-90s Microsoft

Without enough aggression humans become fodder to the imposition of others.

The opposite of goodness isn’t aggression, it is amorality.

Let the basic essential human right be that everyone has the right not to be interfered with by others for anything in which they are not culpable.

Interfering (aggressively) with the culpable is often moral and lawful!

besides this, there are other form of moral/lawful aggression, any pugilist will agree!

These are Twilio numbers. I have had success with verification using Twilio numbers although sometimes the "Call me instead" option is required. I implemented a simple voicemail inbox for those cases.

Your mileage may vary of course. I'd like to collect a list of services that don't allow verification at all via landline/VoIP and post it.
I ordered an NVIDIA Tesla K80 off eBay (and the power adapter... and the blower fan shroud, etc.) and intend to install it when it arrives around Thursday or Friday. I'm hoping that after I install the NVIDIA Linux datacenter drivers I'll be able to use the card with SD.

My only worry is that because the K80 is two GPUs on one board, that it might only utilize one of them, with only 12 GB of VRAM instead of both chips and all 24 GB.

5992 CUDA cores and 24 GB VRAM would be a pretty decent SD accelerator for only $150.
> Not that two failed launch attempts are all that big a deal in the grand scheme

The question to me is, does SLS have a grand scheme? The entire program is specified and budgeted for about five missions, with extensions uncertain. Each launch is a tremendous (and tremendously expensive) affair, and this launch is the first time that all of the SLS systems are coming together.

Commercial launch services (not just SpaceX) get to amortize these sorts of failures over dozens to hundreds of eventual launches, but SLS is not designed to "fail fast" as a learning experience.
I don't think so. With "unspecified" and "implementation-defiend" behaviours, the implementation has to pick a behaviour and be consistent with it. The difference is whether they have to document that behaviour or not.

If the hardware traps on bogus pointers, then reading a bogus pointer may trap. But if you read a recently-freed pointer, it may still be valid according to the hardware (e.g. will have valid PTEs into the processes address space) so won't trap. Therefore you won't be able to guarantee any particular behaviour on an invalid read, so I don't think you'd be able to get away with "unspecified" or "implementation defined" behaviour on most hardware.

The problem is that if you give in once, or are perceived to give in, then not only will both sides hate you for it, but you will be under even more pressure to give in next time.

To run something like Cloudflare you probably have to have the rule that you will not block services for anyone under any circumstances unless ordered to by a court, or they advocate for a blocking campaign against you, or host content that does. In this case they would have let kf of, but block Twitter.
Dude the humidity is definitely over 10-15%. That would be seriously dehydrating and also unbearable. I think you mean the humidity is around 40%

> no VPC connector is needed.

That's not true. It's enough that Google has released 2 forms of docs on this matter. Additionally, the webform to provision CloudRun also includes a section on VPC Connectors. You need to provision a VPC connector in order for CloudRun, Functions or App Engine to "see" CloudSQL with private IP.

https://codelabs.developers.google.com/connecting-to-private...

The VPC connector is a product which is backed by VMs. Its provisioning / validation rules require at least 2 VMs. You can see the web form yourself: https://console.cloud.google.com/networking/connectors/add?p...

> but that is abstracted and won't be in your list

Yes, that's abstracted but you are billed for the vCores. You can see the price sheets and minimum monthly costs here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/pricing

In the case of CloudSQL, sure, it's abstracted, but CloudRun is revealing its leaky abstraction. Here are implementation details you have to know about: https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/container-contract.

> because of the enormous support from CCP.

People claim this about literally every single thing China was successful at. A government can't just magically make its companies successful in every single industry.

What did the CCP do exactly to make these phones better?

Edit:

Also, HTC didn't exactly have the market dominance of Nokia. So not sure the situations are comparable.
In several places there's a differentiation between a "primary boycott" and a "secondary boycott".

Primary boycott: I buy from you now, but you did something bad and now I don't like you and refuse to purchase your goods/services anymore. I'm going to campaign for my friends to not buy from you either.

Secondary boycott: I don't buy from you directly, but I don't like who you work with or sell to, don't associate with them. If you don't stop my friends and I will hurt you

In some jurisdictions, secondary boycotts are illegal, usually as a measure to prevent unions applying muscle to people tangentially related to a core business.

I'm not sure of the legal status of these things in the mess of jurisdictions involved in this controversy, though.
This deal is worse than the Iran nuclear deal.

Maybe the utilities should be crediting the value of the electricity the customer is ‘saving’ during these peak hour ‘crises’.

The way this is written, there is nothing to disincentivize the utilities from creating artificial shortages because the people wholesale price for electricity is ‘too high’. The only way I can see for this to be balanced is to credit the retail value of the electricity being withheld from the customer.
First, there have been campaigns against the larger companies to improve their moderation. And they've been doing that. Second, I've elsewhere addressed how disanalogous such comparisons are. These other sites actively try to ban the harassment that KF freely allows, and the purpose of their sites and majority of their content isn't hate. Trying to draw analogies between very different examples is terrible thinking and violates the prescription to evaluate each case from first principles.

Also, it is not a small percentage of users. The harassment, which is the critical context behind the decision, is literally thousands of pages.

"It is entirely relevant since that was the main justification Cloudflare provided for de-platforming the site."

You're confusing proximate reason with main reason. The incitement was the proximate reason, and the harassment formed the backdrop context that gives meaning to that proximate reason. Please don't tell me you expect them to spell out the basic context that is staring you in the face. You don't have the mind of a child. You very well know that if the identical bomb threat was posted on a Justin Bieber fan club forum, Cloudfare would not be disabling anything. And you know this because you implicitly understand that context is an actual thing.

"If the original post was the reason, then why didn’t they take action days ago? Instead they published a piece saying why they would not remove Kiwi Farms. My point is that something must have changed in the last 48 hours that made them change their mind, and I don’t think it is related to “targeted threats escalating”."

Because a literal bomb threat was issued after that previous post. I'll repeat again. There is such a thing as a metaphorical dam that breaks after sufficient pressure. You don't go "A-ha! That was just one extra drop of water! I wonder why the dam broke?" No, this is beyond childish.

I don’t think you’re likely to make the walls sweat by running an economizer or, for that matter, opening a window while it’s cooler outside than inside. You may end up with more humidity inside than you like, though, depending on the weather.

That link seems to be discussing a situation where there is too much humidity coming in relative to the amount of heat the A/C needs to remove, and that hits my pet peeve about air conditioning design. Air conditioners generally run at a roughly constant coil temperature, which means that there is no independent control over dehumidification versus cooling. If you happen to be at the design conditions, great. Otherwise you don’t end up with the humidity you want.

I know of one system (“dynamic humidity control” by Chiltrix) that adjusts the coil temperature to control humidity. As far as I know, any hydronic system can do this with minimal modification, but I don’t think it’s popular.

> There’s an increase in focus on assessments (and punishment) after the fact rather than permission to perform an action

A modern variant (also quoted by Grace Hopper, btw) is "better to beg forgiveness than ask permission."

Was EIC really independent of the government? There's our answer right there: EIC didn't have to ask permission for most of what they did, but they knew they'd be begging forgiveness if it turned out badly. So they didn't need to ask what the ruling class would think, because they went to the same schools.

How to Keep Working When You’re Just Not Feeling It
I had good luck with these directions, which let you run inside a docker container:

https://github.com/AshleyYakeley/stable-diffusion-rocm

I had to make the one line change suggested in issue #3 to get it to run under 8GB.

radeontop suggests 4GB might work.

I also had to add this environment variable to make it work on my unsupported radeon 6600xt:

HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0

It takes under two minutes per batch of 5 images with the --turbo option.

(Base OS is manjaro; using the distro's version of docker; not the flatpack docker package.)

If you don't have a GPU, paperspace will rent you an appropriate VM.
