I'm not sure if there are any single good URLs I can give you. The best way to learn is to read the chromiumos repo and see how they build the image, how they collect and deploy profiles, etc. You can also look at the mailing list of clang-built-linux to see how their kernel is built with clang and how they integrated that with their profile pipeline.

In the end though it is cultural and not technical. Debian will bend over backwards to make sure That One Guy can still install the latest version on his old Centaur CPU, from floppies. ChromeOS is laser-targeted for specific, allow-listed hardware platforms. If you are philosophically committed to the eternal comfort of That One Guy, the Debian way makes more sense. If you just want software that's faster and more secure, ChromeOS has the better way.

You could run Postgres over UNIX sockets although you will still get higher latency than SQLite's in-process model. Also, running a Postgres on every app instance on the edge probably isn't practical. Postgres has some great advanced features if you need them but it's also much more heavy weight.

With LiteFS, we're aiming to easily run on low resource cloud hardware such as nodes with 256MB or less of RAM. I haven't tried it on a Raspberry Pi yet but I suspect it would run fine there as well.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Our Solar System’s Demise
The impression that I’m getting from a lot of the comments here (and a lot of past discussions about AI art on HN) is that tech people view the art industry as a “challenge”, and they want to use machine learning tools to “defeat” it - either because they just want to demonstrate the sheer power of these tools, or because they think artists are irrational for thinking that there’s something special about human art and they want to prove them wrong, or what have you.

I can’t think of any other way to explain the persistent desire to keep forcing AI art into spaces where it’s not wanted, or the repeated discussions about loopholes in the rules, how AI art can avoid detection, etc.

I suppose the comparison I would make is to chess. Computer assistance is strictly forbidden in chess tournaments - it’s cheating. Both the players and the spectators want to see matches played between two humans, without computer interference. You could devise clever ways of getting around the rules and cheating (there’s a big cheating scandal rocking the chess world as we speak), but no one would praise you for doing this. They would just think you were being a jerk.

Similarly, there will always be people who want to create communities centered around human art, simply because of the mere fact that it was made by a human and they want to see what human skill is able to accomplish without AI assistance.
Exactly.

When I realized that Facebook would not let me pay $5 / mo to opt out of ads on their platform, subscribing to YouTube was a no-brainer.

Our family uses YouTube for so much education and entertainment, paying $16/mo or whatever it costs for a family plan is a no-brainer. YouTube is one of my favorite parts about the modern Internet, and I want to directly pay to support it and its content creators.
One of the theories is that Putin went mad from the isolation, and he was spending time reading the history of Russia, now he wants to make Russia Great Again.

Your question makes me realize it makes me sound like I'm part of the "It's just a flu, governments are overreacting! Fascists!" crowd, which I'm not. In any case, Putin looked like he was paranoid for his own safety, and he is the Russian government, if he didn't like the isolation he didn't have to do it.
In fairness, at a mega-corp there is very little data on whether an employee would be successful in a different group. Some groups have bad charters/bad team dynamics/bad skills match. An internal transfer has a huge amount of visibility into these aspects when they transfer, much more than an external hire would.

Its a pretty good deal to suggest to employees that they find a new team rather than performing a layoff, I wouldn't be surprised if the profitable/successful teams can still add head count for people they like.

So in that theory they do get sufficient USD to cover USDT (as opposed to printing it out of thin air) but are using it to buy questionable CP.

I think many people believe they don't even have enough USD to start with, eg because some of their assets are loans collateralised by crypto (such as the Celsius 1B loan).

I believe both are true - Tether printed USDT against non-cash, and used some of the actual cash to buy dodgy assets for more yield.

This article makes it seem that the new translation is novel in some way. These are stories (of Krishna's demise and Pandavas hike to Meru) I've read in childhood countless times. Mahabharata isn't just an epic of absolute good vs. evil, but of countless shades of grey ascribing to the real human nature.

In another story, it is said that Yudhishtira's chariot was supposed to not touch the ground due to his virtuousness. When he lied to his guru Drona to trick him to give up his arm believing his son had perished, the chariot sunk back to the ground.
One of the things they point out is that the SoTA on e.g. LibriSpeech is only good at LibriSpeech, and doesn't generalise as well.

> Because Whisper was trained on a large and diverse dataset and was not fine-tuned to any specific one, it does not beat models that specialize in LibriSpeech performance, a famously competitive benchmark in speech recognition. However, when we measure Whisper’s zero-shot performance across many diverse datasets we find it is much more robust and makes 50% fewer errors than those models.

I just tested the model [1] using an RTX3090, trying to translate a french text I found here [2].

Some observations:

- The full translation of the 6:22 minute video takes about 22 seconds (17x real time)

- It recognizes the language by default (and did a good job to recognize it was french audio)

- MIT License [3]!

- The quality of the transcription is good, but not perfect.

- The quality of the translation (if you don't consider transcription errors as a translation error) is generally very good.

All in all very happy that OpenAI is publishing their models. If Stable Diffusion is any guide, people will hack some crazy things with this.

We do have some learnings that would apply back to 11th Gen that are early in development. We also have a beta firmware for DisplayPort Expansion Cards that improves one area of active/standby power consumption, which applies to both 11th Gen and 12th Gen: https://community.frame.work/t/beta-displayport-expansion-ca...
I think the Astra Linux link was an answer to the question though. Not because it was built in Russia, but because it's already long been deployed in some of their highest security environments. It's what already runs in many of their highest value government departments. It sounds like they're just rolling it out to their lower level departments as well.
Big-name crates that do IO often use async by default, but I haven't seen one so far that doesn't provide a sync/blocking api as well. Usually this is done by enabling a feature for the crate.
Ask HN: Any coders with brain fog from Long Covid?
As new infections and reinfections continue to happen, Long Covid, and in particular brain fog, has been on my mind a lot.

I wonder if folks who suffer from Long Covid would be open to sharing your experience. Can you still code? Are you ok? How has it affected your coding, your career, and your life?

Thanks in advance for sharing!
Exactly this. Offering AMD or dGPU is a whole other level of engineering, supply chain, and support effort. Google itself may also be good for a few thousand orders, just from all their now orphaned Pixelbook users. And presumably that’s still a tangible amount of sales for a company the size of Framework. Plus they apparently already found some power management improvements that will also apply to all their laptops, just by getting their devices ChromeOS ready. Actually seems like an excellent business decision.

I tried and bounced off Nix on other systems, and I'm now running nixOS on my personal laptop (which is a secondary device).

I think there's absolutely room to solve the same set of problems better than Nix does:

1. The number 1 problem for me has been documentation of nixpkgs. Nix lang is a bit funky but even if I was writing python the problem is that you're writing code to assign magic objects to magic variables and the only way to find the right ones is to read the nixpkgs source (and given the size of all-packages.nix and the limit of github's web viewer, maintain a local checkout).

2. Second place goes to the flake/non-flake divide where the nix community generally implies flakes are better but apart from the nix cli detailed docs, most things refuse to acknowledge its existence in the official docs.

3. Portability between macOS and Linux, where flakes actually make the situation worse as the root config is now system specific.

4. Tools like flakes, niv, the suggested way to write a shell.nix all want you to handle full commit hashes directly which is kinda unergonomic.

None of these are inherent to the problem space. If I was to keep writing the list, maybe around 9 and 10 are the things around nixlang being a funky language or /nix directory that the "you just need to understand functional languages/content addressable stores" discussion seems to think are the top ones.
Well, we have no way of verifying this, so I guess we'll have to make an argument based on something other than "but whatabout BLM?"
Yes, that is cheating.
> withholding their services because their choice matches your ethics

I do actually think the site is unethical, yes. But those are not "my" ethics, just ethics in general. There is sufficient evidence to argue against the Daily Sceptic on purely humanist grounds. On top of that I do find the site personally objectionable, that is also true.

I also believe that the intent and consequences behind opinions matter. If there is a website that clearly influences a lot of people to be anti-science and that tries to promote social inequity then I don't view this neutrally as just another opinion. Ethically, this is not on the same level as, say, someone's opinions about the Game of Thrones finale.

> But if you're ok with companies that should almost be utilities withholding their services

I told you two times already that I'm not okay with this, only that this is one of the exceedingly rare cases where I welcome the way things have already been working for years.
>Among some Meta employees, the process of reapplying for jobs within a limited window internally is known as a sort of human-resources purgatory they call the “30 Day List.”

I mean from the article it’s pretty clear giving employees a month to find a new job internally is more like Hunger Games than some guarantee you will be successful. It sounds like a way for companies to not have to admit they are doing layoffs.
"if as you claim the Daily Sceptic has been directing and encouraging harassment and violent threats against doctors"

I didn't say anywhere that the DS has been "directing and encouraging harassment". I didn't even imply it, because it's not true. That's something that, again, you just made up right now. You keep doing this: please respond to what people actually say, not what you wish they'd said.

"this one passage has been cherry picked from what will obviously be a pro-forma response"

Your original claim was that he had no idea why he was banned, but he cited an explanation from PayPal. You now reject PayPal's own words on the grounds that you don't believe it's meaningful. In other words, having made an incorrect claim you're now trying to make it unfalsifiable. But PayPal can easily say nothing and did so for the other terminations. For this one, they cited a specific part of their ToS. We can assume that is the reason.

Finally, a "maximalist" is by definition not someone who suppresses free speech because they think it's the best for their business.

The UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) was passed in November of 2006, as part of the SAFE Port Act [0], which placed online poker into a legal grey area for most U.S. citizens. A lot of major poker sites withdrew from the U.S. market as a result.

The legality of both in-person and online poker varies from state to state.

That is totally nuts but I kind of love it. At least you can’t say he isn’t using his own tools. Talk about dogfooding.
In what world is that not fraud? Imagine if Ford were to advertise a new F150 for an (apparently) good price and then offer two models:

"F150 V8": an expensive truck with a V8 motor.

"F150 V6" a cheaper V6 sedan.

Clearly, these are two different products, even though they can do the same thing. You're sneakily using a known naming convention in your official product name to deceive customers on the price perception of the 4080 and the performance of the 4080 12GB.
As someone else said, it’s great for gifts. If you’re “the tech guy/gal” in the family, you have to fix people’s broken tech. With this, it’s a chrome book so it should be easy to use, minimal handholding, and if something breaks it’s easy to fix.
I think most people would agree that it's important to add the ability to evict unused extension code from memory, which is what the fundamental move to a stateless ServiceWorker architecture is designed to support (since the previous stateful architecture required all extension background pages to be loaded regardless of whether they were actually doing anything). Being able to do that for the vast majority of extensions that that helps, without requiring extension authors to "opt in" to that change, is a very important goal.

But I agree that the heuristics for when to evict certain extensions (especially those with broad all-page access permissions) definitely remains tricky, and I hear you that Chrome's are currently too severe for this type of extension to be practical. I don't think that's a fundamental problem with the service worker model though—it seems easy to add a heuristic to cover this case like "If the extension has a async network request event registered and there's an active tab open that that extension has permissions to view, be very cautious in evicting it". In that case Chrome could still want to evict the service worker i.e. if the tab/browser is in the background and paused[1], so that it wouldn't be handling event loop / network requests anyway.
Is this from a consumer or producer standpoint(or both)? A race to the bottom ultimately hurts everyone. In a simplistic world, if wages go down, people will consume less, causing decreased revenue. Its in the best interest for companies to have a competitive wage floor that still allows for quality goods and services to be created.

Remote work will certainly shift dynamics, I am quite interested in if the concept of 'hybrid' work will take off, and how that would shape cities/communities.
Mender integration
I wonder if it will have proper CCD (Case Closed Debugging)[0] support.

With CCD, you are pretty much free to mess around with the "BIOS" of the machine, without fear of being put in a bad situation.

It also provides a serial terminal to the "AP" (application processor), e.g. available to the OS.

In other words, the Cr50 provides a controlled and user-controlled (but not user-owned) sideband channel to debug the system, even on consumer hardware.

Why user-controlled? Because it requires asserting presence to "Open", which with the design of ChromeOS basically requires being the owner of the device. Why not user-owned? For official ChromeOS devices, AFAIK that firmware cannot be replaced by a user with their own builds.

A for-loop in vanilla anything will do. Nothing special about PHP. Ruby, Python, Java, etc...
Great to know. Thank you!
Be wary of using this model - the licensing of this model seems sketchy. Several of the datasets used for training like WSJ and TED-LIUM have clear non-commercial clauses. I'm not a lawyer but releasing a model as "MIT" seems dubious, and hopefully OpenAI has paid for the appropriate licenses during training as they are no longer a research-only non profit.
Correct. We've just updated the blog post with the proper description from Google, which is "automatic updates through June 2030."

How the hell do governments sleep for years on this sort of stuff?
Is it translation or transcription? Or both?

Both, wow. This is really interesting.
It seems these days that language-oriented models are commonly becoming multilingual by default. There are a lot of common threads when understanding sentence construction between different languages. French and English have different rules but they will still have things like nouns, adjectives, subjects, prepositions, etc. It seems that by training models on many languages you get both a more robust understanding of language, and it saves you the trouble of having to make many more localized models for every language. I also believe that the other languages help the models construct sentences in languages which have very small training sets. If it has a few examples in a rare language as well as good translations to a better-known language, then it can provide good support for the rare language.

We also see in image generation models that multi-modal networks are more powerful than single purpose networks. As we move towards more advanced AI systems I suspect we will see more and more generalizable networks with distinct advantages over separate networks that get plugged together.
Absolutely wrong. Typical bank accounts in the US are FDIC-insured.
