I didn't look for an A100 specifically, but the cheapest GPU spot instance on AWS is around $200/mo, if I remember correctly.

Since this is a hobby project, I probably will never be able to break even on that. I'm thinking of writing a bit of code that will use GPU spot instances to perform the computation, and turn it off when the queue is emptyish.

You don't really need any state on the machines, the worker communicates with a broker, receives a very small bit of JSON containing the parameters, does the work and uploads the image to R2. Then, it sends a message back saying that image is done.

That way, you don't even care if you get interrupted mid-generation, since the work is idempotent. I can just spin up a machine whenever available and tear it down whenever.

It will be nice to try, though I think I'll use my desktop for a while yet due to a lack of users. That one takes around a minute to generate an image, and can't run while I'm using it.

The way they killed C++/CX and insist everyone uses COM with tooling that was already bad enough in the Visual C++ 6.0 days, 20 years ago, they could start by sorting out the mess at Microsoft in first place.

Currently the positive part is that VC++ is the most compliant in ISO C++.

Note that other than the spaceship operator, all Herb's former proposals for reflection, exceptions and parameters have fizzled out at the committee, nothing happened after his CppCon talks.

It's certainly a huge endeavor. I probably have a pile of projects that I started and abandoned at some point for various reasons. The saddest of all was the first one that started to get traction... a story based game developed iteratively chapter by chapter where the writer got a hard case of imposter syndrome and just quit (it was just the two of us). Success is also hard to manage for some people.

Right now my newest moonshot is joining a friend who's just started trying to make an educational game for developers, that teaches you in a fun cyberpunkish style how to develop an NES from scratch, step by step. It's an absolutely bonkers idea but it's something we'd have loved to have and that we're having a blast making, just for ourselves. I doubt it's ever going to be successful if we make it to the finish line and ship it, but luckily it's just for fun. I'm thankful of posts like these, it helps getting motivated to make it through.

For a while, when I slept I made sounds that sounded like a creaking wooden staircase. I obviously had no clue but my wife told me about it. She recorded the sound and I played it to my doctor. The doctor had no idea how that could happen. I was pretty healthy so nothing came off it and I don’t think I make that noise anymore.
I'm not sure to what extent this applies to America vs. world, but deaths from despair (actually a technical term) can be helped by religion (the study considered any weekly religious services) to the tune of a 68% (in women) reduction [1]. In the journalism surrounding this study, I've seen health professionals say things like "if we could prescribe it as medicine, it would be the most revolutionary treatment in the last 100 years". I'd be morbidly curious to see scientists relate the decline in religious service attendance to the increase in deaths from despair. I'm a religious person, and I have definitely experienced the implied improvements in my outlooks on the basic concepts of "hope", "joy", and "purpose".

I can explain this yes.

When you have something which saturates measurements, it's probably not 1/273, it's probably 1/n where n > 273.

In other words, we expect the next few meteors we find will also be made of weaker materials, since every single one has been thus far.

Yes, but no-one does this without evidence. These terms apply even if you use any of their free stuff like acrobat reader. And even when you trial any of their apps.

Not to mention they stopped doing these kind of audits in US per my understanding. In other countries they still seem to be doing them. There is a whole set of firms to help you with these audits.
A lifetime of pain and suffering.
> But now a set of Americans seem dedicated to shoehorn it in.

I agree. Its like the whole "master/slave" brouhaha.

The Americans just became obsessed over renaming anything anywhere that used the term.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world doesn't make dumb extrapolations. They understand that calling one server "master" and one server "slave" does not mean you're some sort of right-wing racist nutter.

I'm sure if you took at trip to the African continent and visited various countries and asked those who actually live there about it, they'd much rather you talk about how they can get more financing for their organisation, how they can get more robust and affordable internet connectivity .... or indeed how they can get a COVID vaccine, especially seeing as the patents were not lifted and the promises of donations never materialised in any significant number.

But no, the Americans are too busy with political correctness and willy-waving sending billionaires and their rockets into space.
I am conflicted about this. On one hand I understand the emotional response and find rape and cp incredibly repulsive but on the other hand I wonder if this goes too far since apparently the person served their sentence and it's been a decade since (without any inappropriate or illegal activites?).

From their proposed letter[1] they say: "We are not pursuing this person throughout their professional life trying to remove their livelihood." while simultaneously saying: "In this case we see no other option than to remove the person fully from the conference and we recommend that most other C++ communities consider this as well."
And they re-iterate over and over that the offender shall not be named (while simultaneously being known to quite a few people apparently - which would be a prerequisite to have the offender removed from other communities as well) and therefore the only alternative is removal to prevent the offender from abusing their position of power to harm someone again.

While this is a little shaky I wonder why there should not be other options. Since apparently the board knows who X is, they could easily book security for the event and keep a tighter watch on the person. I will go out on a limb and say if person X was excluded from the conference while also seeking to repeat their offenses they will find another venue so the problem is not solved, rather offloaded on someone elses shoulders. Surely the person proposing the removal would not see that as a viable alternative?

There is also a linked petition to ban convicted sex offenders from the standard meetings which I would find more rational if the crime was very recent, the person had repeatedly commited the crime or shown inappropriate behaviour since. It[2] verbatim says: "The choice WG21 has is between an individual convicted felon and diversity and inclusivity. There is no third option, as inaction is a decision for the status quo and the convict." which I find bewildering. First of all I don't understand the logic behind only including sex offenders because even in their frame of reference inclusivity would be threatened by people convicted of fellonies regarding racism or any other type of violence, and second of all - leaving their frame of reference - why is it that they insist that a person who did something bad will do it again. They make it sound like the harm that has been done is inevitably gonna happen again. I am not so sure if this is a smart position to take.

I was very hesitant to write this and I'd like to be educated if I am missing something fundamental here, but I have trouble agreeing with the position that people who served their time after being convicted of a crime (which is the legal and at its core societal measure for "things being settled") should continue to get punished because someone feels like it's not enough. And I also have trouble seeing how harm is actually prevented this way and not just off-loaded.

They are fun… but not as fun. There used to be a tile when running Linux was considered “underground”. Where people would geek for hours on end about their modded Amiga 1200s. Unfortunately those days are over and computers are quite boring.
I have used 20+ handles so far, some still in use, and this particular handle originates from an era where gmail was still invitation only and I had to come up with some cool name. I chose a mythical name for some reason but lifthrasir (note one i) was taken, so I doubled the vowel and it was available.
I have 2 methods: When I am an early adaptor, I use my standard (since 30 years) username.

For everything else I pick something that randomly comes to mind. Username here, loosely based on Get Shorty (the movie). I was probably watching that while registering at the time.
It's probably legal to send messages like this, just like it's legal for ski slopes to have "We aren't at fault for anything" statements on every ticket. It's when they tried to enforce it that they'd find the law wasn't on their side.
That's exactly my point. And it is, I think, a massive waste of what I (and surely many others) can do.
Because there are a million different ways to do user authentication and authorization: LDAP, OAuth, cookies, federated logins, challenge-response devices, etc. A framework or library that tries to handle all these scenarios becomes abstract, hard to use, and not very powerful because it can only rely on the greatest common denominator. Django's auth is reasonable to get started, but probably not what you want to use for a production-ready website.
Nah, safe.
The amounts of ads in this article is giving me a seizure
It goes to a weird microcosm situation where typing in http://not-youtube.com is somewhere between an insurmountable hurdle and an impossible feat. I remember that Fran woman [0] who was on HN a few weeks ago who just wasn't interested in moving off YouTube under thematically similar conditions, she flat out refused to consider Odysee in her video.

If YouTube's advertisers don't want to be funding more arty or niche content, then there needs to be a 2nd platform that caters to arty content and has niche advertisers. This stuff that is getting demonitised all looks pretty interesting, there has to be a market here that YouTube is giving up. Even if maybe it is small.

> and was told it was a necessary condition for US prosperity

That's an interesting perspective. I live in Europe, and I don't reckon anyone thinks that way here (which doesn't mean it isn't true). On a flight once I got talking to a rich-looking businessman from Hong Kong and I explained anyone who's ill can go to the doctor where I live, even if they're poor. The HK guy was really surprised, he basically explained to me society couldn't work like that, if there was no fear of being poor what reason was there to put in the hard work needed to avoid poverty, and to elevate the society? He'd obviously really bought into that, he basically didn't really believe me that you could have a rich functioning society where the poor e.g. get basic needs met like healthcare.

It was interesting to me - if his whole worldview led him to believe the place where I lived couldn't really exist, what other beliefs do the rest of us have which are completely wrong?
This is an interesting link and the story seems plausible. I’m glad you commented it. It’s also not related to how child/adult mortality in general are calculated, or to other countries ‘lying’ anymore than if one country produced statistics for 18-30 year olds and another for 21-30 year olds: the data is just not directly comparable.

Spot on. Awesome post. My first PC was a 1995 486 clone no name PC with a Cyrix (!!!) 57 MHz cpu and 4 megs of ram. Originally it came only with a floppy drive and a 420MB HD. I bought this sound blaster-like card with a CD-ROM drive attached to it and picked up Slackware Linux 3.0 distributed via a computer magazine. It wouldn’t install at first because the cd drive was attached via the sound blaster clone card so I had to install it via many floppies instead. I finally got it working. I really miss those days where things were hard and required work to make things seamless. Today even Windows runs Linux so there’s no incentive to geek out anymore.

Great in all possible worlds.
I was intrigued by your assertion that the previous poster’s statement was incorrect. I’d heard that statement was also correct. Finding a data source online was surprisingly difficult, as almost all graphs on the topic were presented in percentages by race as opposed to absolute numbers.

I finally found the following data source, and multiplied out the population count by race with the percentage below 100% of the poverty line by race.

If you have a different data source, or methodology, please share.

https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=Poverty%20by%20race&t...

White alone, not Hispanic or Latino
188537199
Less than 100% of poverty line
9.5%
= 17,911,033

Versus

Hispanic or Latino origin (of any race)
61398400
Less than 100% of poverty line
17.5%
= 10,744,720

By absolute count, the assertion that White, Hispanic population have more people in poverty than White, non-Hispanic population, appears to be incorrect.

From the data, there are 324173084 people in the US, with an overall poverty rate of 12.8%, meaning that 41,494,154 people are in poverty.
17,911,033 White non-Hispanic in poverty

41,494,154 - 17,911,033 =
23,583,121 (rest of the population)

So, the White Non Hispanic Population in Poverty is less than the number of non (White Non Hispanic) Population.

So, neither of you were correct?

But there are a ton of poor white people in the US. Significantly more than any other single race.
Looking at the number of products Adobe has and the money they make as a whole, they’ll probably be fine.
As I see it, Carbon have in its explicit goals to fix both the syntax issue and the major ABI retrocompatibility issue, while herb approach is to just deal with the syntax: Sure it is better than nothing, but I'm willing to bet that this will not convince most of people that saw their idea being killed by the committee on the ABI altar.

From the post:

> Rust's diversity numbers are terrible. They are even terrible compared to the tech industry, which is terrible to begin with.

I guess they have real numbers about it, but did not share.

I am also surprised because the Rust Foundation staff itself seems pretty "diverse"[1] (at least the male/female rate... nearly everyone seems white though), yet it seems they still didn't manage to make the Rust community as diverse. I guess you can't just "wish" things into existence... systems programming has always been (mostly white/asian) male-dominated and Rust can't change that by itself.

Can racist clowns like this please consider downstream effects. You're doing things that will elect Republicans and bring about fascism. Please, stop with the anti-egalitarian wokeness that indirectly harms the groups you're pretending to support. Open your borders, build housing, build infrastructure in poor communities, elect Democrats. Stop the equal outcome illiberalism and virtue signalling.
This is a dilemma.

On one hand we would like to support folks serving their time and coming back to society as full citizens. I don’t think any of us would support stripping ex-cons of the right to vote or support themselves.

On the other hand, we also recognise that we can’t force people to work with those they don’t want to. This isn’t theoretical. One of the members of the committee is a rape survivor and doesn’t want to work with a rapist. The wide support in society for sex offender registries indicates that many people feel the same way.

That’s the dilemma - only one of these two people will ultimately work on the committee. Inaction is a choice. If we do nothing, it’s the ex-con, and we lose the other person. This is the choice the ISO CPP leadership has made.

It’s complicated a bit further. Many other folks on the committee aren’t comfortable working with a rapist either. So in exchange for supporting one ex-con, you lose several people.

Yes, like Voxon and Lumi - swept volume (rather than static, hence 'weird mechanical setups'). It's basically the problem of taking any 2D display of reasonable resolution and moving or spinning it through the 3rd dimension at least 50 times a second. For example, you could spin one or more 32x64 LED panels (like these [9]) around a vertical axis at 3000RPM.

Currently working on both spinning and reciprocating ('flapping') approaches; spinning is nicer in many ways but reciprocating gives a better result.

Just that if you need to understand differential equations, and you don't know calculus, the answer in this context isn't reading Spivak from start to finish (here I am assuming a working programmer / self-learner that wants to apply the knowledge - constrained by time and application much more heavily than a student of mathematics for example).
