> an interesting peasant that someone of noble stature like yourself deigned to interact with

There are enough people on this site, online and IRL that honestly, unironically and proudly think like this. It really gets to me.

So yea, forgive me for flexing a little to show “I’m one of you” but it’s not the small town folks I want to feel superior to, it’s people who would have just passed her by when she was in trouble. I was apparently the 5th person to pass and the only one to ask if she was OK.

But yea, I’m not really good at expressing myself tbh so I can appreciate that without knowing me I prob seemed like an ass.
He hasn't had much if any impact in the US with his albums, but he did tour several large US cities in 1999 playing smaller venues.[1] So while he appears to be somewhat of an exception, even after international success he's unlikely sell out stadiums in the US. We'll see, though.

This has always been my take as well. I understand the appeal of not having to remember multiple passwords, but damn it feels like you're creating a far bigger problem.
Oof! They used to have this for Songs, then they removed the feature, and I lost the major way I used Spotify. I used it to make sure I could listen to music offline while traveling and it was an infuriating few flights before I could download everything again.
It also says "Sign Up". With a very comprehensive free tier of services.
haven’t used it myself but other teams at the company I work for have tried with mixed results.

It’s very opinionated about the way you structure your code and basically makes anything thats not fully fp-ts hard to integrate, and also is quite hard for general JS people to wrap their head around.

It’s been designed by FP people for FP people and if there are some on your team who are not fully on board or are just starting to learn FP - expect lots of friction.

At my company it was mostly scala coders and “cats” lovers (category theory stuff lib for scala) mixed in with regular nodejs devs and I could sense a lot of animosity around fp-ts and its use.

But on a more practical note, the more they converted their codebase to fp-ts the more they reported massive compile time slowness. Like it would start to take minutes to compile their relatively isolated and straight forward services.

From what I gathered, if you want to go fp-ts its just too much friction and you’re much better off picking up a language designed from the bottom up for that - scala / ocaml / elixr / etc.

To be honest once I’ve been comfortable enough with the more advanced TS features, you can write plain old javascript in a very functional style, and thats actually pretty great, especially if you throw date-fns, lodash/fp or ramda into the mix, and it remains largely approachable to people outside of FP and you can easily integrate external libs.
Your comment made me click the link, exactly what I’ve been looking for
I'm talking mostly about the Oculus/Meta Quest. It's easy to shit on Facebook's software products (I could do it all day), but the Oculus team that Facebook bought still seems to be doing impressive stuff. Whether or not you like Facebook as a product, it's hard to deny that the Quest is really solid hardware for the ~$400 price point. My dream is that someday someone will make a privacy-respecting custom OS for them, so you can simply use it as a cheap tethered headset. John Carmack supposedly stuck his neck out for allowing custom firmware at a hardware-level, which is pretty cool!

Facebook is indeed a shit company, so it makes sense that they'd want to dump all their R&D money into a cool digital trinket. Regardless, I don't really see the proliferation of the Quest as a bad thing. Hopefully some day, like-minded nerds can turn it into a better thing(?)
The "sin" he committed was playing no stakes online blitz, and you are projecting this 'mark' on his reputation to a professional over the board tournament with anticheating measures. The tournament organisers were very confident that no cheating took place at the event. To me it is a rather closed case.

Regarding Carlsen's behavior, so far it looks like he has grown a very big ego. Not interested in a second championship match with Nepo, throwing tantrums against an up and coming player who defeated him. Maybe he's feeling he is losing his edge against a new generation of players, and doesn't like it.
I've been informed that capresse salad is not made with spinach. I retract my previous comment. Spinach with strawberries and a nice vinaigrette is pretty good.

Relying on sites to be honest about themselves, is even less likely. There are monetary incentives for many of them not to do that. Many sites host dishonest and clickbait content with extreme levels of SEO already. The cost of dishonesty decreases if you can directly modify the index.
Just wait until you find out about the true incremental cost of a gallon of gasoline
That is indeed the biggest problem but maybe something that can be more effectively dealt with downstream by the content rankers and potentially even the user base / custom search algorithm builders. Brave's Goggles project is a good early prototype of this concept.
Of course, server GPUs remain kings of the hill on FP64 workloads, as they have extra FP64 units. I focus on FP32 performance because it is representative of general compute performance on all other workloads, such as FP32, FP16, FP8, or integer.
Because my other connection is a 25/3 WISP link that mostly doesn't. I generally see about 5/1 in the evenings, if that.

I've had several area WISP connections, as there's no wired infrastructure to my area, and they vary in quality. I work full time remote, so I need two connections as a general habit - I can work with one, but when that one is down for a week straight, I have problems. I like being able to fail over.

I typically keep one connection for "interactive" traffic, and one for "bulk transfer/failover" - things like my local Ubuntu repo mirror, offsite backup traffic, etc. And I can fail to it if needed, which I do often enough.

On a good day, Starlink is far better than my WISP connection, and I have some machines routed out it persistently. On a bad day, I can't hit much from it, because that particular public IP has been blocked from large parts of the internet. It's very hit and miss, and overall bandwidth has definitely dropped from the early days, though reliability of getting packets where they need to go is drastically improved.

Bullseye.
> I'm trying very hard to not "no true scotsman" myself here. But I tend to think of it like this: there's people, and then there's Twitter personas. There's a lot of very strong, absurd opinions that Twitter personas have but that I don't ever seem to encounter in the real world.

If we expand that to Reddit and Hacker News, I have to agree, so it might have just been personas I went up against.

> Maybe another way of putting it is that if I dropped you on stage in the middle of a RustConf keynote, nobody would actually have these types of opinions. And if anyone did express such a thing, there would be overwhelming opposition to it. But of course I can't prove this, and I'd be willing to admit I'm wrong.

But I've never been to RustConf, so I can't dispute this. I'll simply have to trust you on this one.

Though dropping me of all people into a RustConf keynote would be a wild prank. Hilarious.

> And none of this discounts the fact that you've apparently seen these types of opinions firsthand.

Unless I've only seen personas, as you suspect, and I can't refute that.

> I don't think that's a reasonable take at all. I'd be willing to bet that what Mark Russinovich was saying was exactly what you just stated in another thread: "I agree with this. I never said people should use C by default; absolutely not. They should use Rust by default."

I'm not so sure because I used to be one of the people that thought C should die, as in, have everything rewritten into another language. People like that do exist.

But again, they may just be personas. Whoops.

> Being taken away is very, very different from other people not being sufficiently motivated to build something you want to exist. Nobody has "taken away" COBOL from folks by not porting compilers to arm64 (I have no idea if arm64 COBOL compilers exist, feel free to substitute a suitable arch/lang).

This is a fair counterargument. I guess I should correct myself by saying that it would feel like my C compiler would be taken away.

> I'd be willing to bet substantial sums of money that "eventually" will not include either of our lifetimes.

I'm not so sure, but no one can predict the future. :) I wouldn't have thought Rust would end up in the Linux kernel when I first heard of it. Now it's all but certain to happen.

> And my guess is it would be far less work to port C to (or write an LLVM backend for) x86-128 or aarch256 or RISC IX than to maintain your own language and keep it running on all the major platforms. But good luck to you nonetheless.

That's true. It's why my language will bootstrap itself to C99! For every platform that is too much work to support directly, I'll support it by having a C99 compiler for that platform.

C99 should not need much maintenance. I hope. Or someone else will care enough to do it. I hope.

> I'm pleased you pointed this out! I'd debated saying this but opted not to, it's great that we agree on that extra detail.

Good! And you're welcome.

Yeah, I'm picky. I've rewritten code given to me by a FreeBSD kernel developer who is twice my age and much better than me.
Somehow, I think putting a proxy in front of Firebase is not the right solution here at all. The same goes when the website is served by any other CDN. Great, we have this thing that can serve nearly infinite number of requests has DDOS protection and is always close to the customer, let's put a proxy in front of it because we don't know how to setup CORS.

This is technically superior for things like TOTP but falls apart if not all users use TOTP.

1. Users who aren't using 2FA have a confusing box to leave empty.

2. SMS, Email and similar OTP codes should only be sent after the password is verified.

3. U2F requires the site to share which devices are registered which can only be done after the password is verified.

You may be able to make it work UX-wise if you separate username from auth information (such as a lot of sites do to support SSO auth). But even then it isn't clear to me if you should be leaking information about their 2FA configuration (especially their U2F device) list without a password.

At least Bash doesn’t have that hideous topic selector

I would be sympathetic if it were purely `”Hello, World!” |> console.log`. I still wouldn’t use a pipe in such a trivial case, but at least it’s not really worse. But with the topic selector that example has strictly more concepts you need to understand than the example without pipe. From an educational perspective that’s already not great, but what’s more worrisome is that proponents tend to suggest the pipeline should be used wherever you can, despite simultaneously “knowing” when not to use it and ignoring examples where you cannot use it due to multiple subjects being composed.

It’s not the pipeline in general that I’m against, but I’m very opposed to this “let’s-add-a-third-syntax-to-compose-arbitrary-expressions-Hack” proposal.

I have written this before but I’ll put it here again. What I would like to see is a federated search engine. Based on activitypub that works like mastodon. Don’t like the results from one source? Just remove them from your sources, or lower their ranking. Similar to yacy but you can work with the protocol to connect or build whatever type of index you want using whatever technology you like, and communicate over an existing standard. Want to build the worlds best index of Pokémon sites, then go do it. Want to build a search engine using idris or ats? Sure! I did note the professors are on mastodon so perhaps this may actually happen.

One of these days I’ll actually implement the above assuming nobody else does. I figured if I can at least get the basics done and a reference implementation that’s easy to run it could prove the concept. If anyone is interested in this do email my in my bio.

What I worry about for this project is that it becomes another island which prohibits remixing of results like google and bing, and its own index and ranking algorithms become gamed.

I wish the creators best of luck though. I am also hoping for some more blogs and papers about the internals of he engine. So little information is published in the space that anything is welcome, especially if it’s deeply technical.
An alternative that preserves some privacy also doesn't seem that hard to imagine... though it probably has its own can of worms*.

Basically, the core problem is digital identities (accounts, IPs, phone #s etc.) are cheap to create (even considering captchas and all) so fraud is easy. The solution could be just to make it "costly" to create new digital identities. For example, you could get a "verified but anonymous" identity issued by locking some assets (could be real world money, or maybe something intangible like community reputation) as collateral with a trusted party (or, for the crypto people, the blockchain). If you misbehave, you lose your reputation on that identity (and essentially your collateral) and have to start over. This lets anyone bootstrap a "minimal" level of trust at the beginning before they can use time to prove themselves trustworthy.

Note: This model might remind some of things like staking in crypto. However the idea is really not anything new... Putting money on the line is really how most low-trust bootstrapping happens.

*: To name a few:(1) this can result in participation being gated by wealth, which can be unfair. (2) it makes accounts more valuable to hack so people need better security practices [re: twitter checkmark]. (3) one would need some authority to decide how accounts lose their collateral or maybe the collateral is just burned to create that initial credibility...
There's a curious comment on that article from a person in support of that retention law:

"Google can do that [blanket data collection], my Chinese mobile phone manufacturer too, why shouldn't the government be able to do it?"

Something to ponder when we talk about data collection by private parties: like it or not, it does provide justification for governments doing the same.

Density, I can accept.

But what kind of latency are we talking about here?

CDNA has 16-wide SIMD units that retires 1 64-wide warp instruction every 4 clock cycles.

RDNA has a 32-wide SIMD unit that retires 1 32-wide warp every clock cycle. (It's uncanny how similar it to to Nvidia's Maxwell and Pascal architecture.)

Your 1/4 number makes me think that you're talking about a latency that has nothing to do with reads from memory, but with the rate at which instructions are retired? Or does it have to with the depth of the instruction pipeline? As long as there's sufficient occupancy, a latency difference of a few clock cycles shouldn't mean anything in the context of a thousand clock cycle latency for accessing DRAM?

Since when it is a waste of time to carefully figure out if you should base your important business on someone else's work? You know what's a waste of time? Telling people something you already told them in your license. If we did as you ask, someone would drop a project expecting not to when they started, or someone would maintain one with your warning, and people would say "mean it! This guy duplicated your code expecting you not to maintain it, and you did, so you wasted his time! Put a third warning in!" Adding a warning that's already in the license does not convey useful information, it does not help anyone discern anything.

> not useful advice.

It's very useful advice. If you can't discern whether something FOSS will be useful to your business or not then don't base your business on FOSS code. Simple.

Nope, I don't touch anything else. This is essentially telling the GPU, don't use more than this power at all, it'll automagically figure out the best configuration and all that. I've ran those power-limited rigs for 24/7 for many weeks, no issues at all and reduced heat is a nice side effect.
IMO, some of the earliest truly L5 applications outside of very specific areas are going to require not only a geofence, but some amount of in-environment learning from a human driver at the wheel. This may involve some kind of conditional unlocks of L5 capabilities, in the same way that some hypercars require the owner to attend a driving school in order for the manufacturer to tell the ECU to operate at full capacity.

I was just going off my own experience with React through the years. It was very hard to compose behavior with class based components. We had to create higher order components that had functions as children which could pass down data as arguments to the child function. It really made a mess of the component hierarchy. Now you can create reusable custom hooks that can be used from any component.

That's the marketing story. I think it's because they didn't clutter their homepage like AltaVista did.
I don't think it's terribly surprising that there might be companies out there who charge for things that they think should be free because they can get away with it. That said, in this case it sounds like pretty standard marketing speak, and I tend to be skeptical that anything sounding like that is a genuine profession of values rather than a catchy tagline (which probably explains my lack of surprise at the first thing as well)
