Less jobs, less developers. It adds up.

Also, building a team is much easier. If you bring six React developers around a table, they will have six different ideas about the parts of the ecosystem they like and use.

Six Vue developers? They’re ready to kick ass from day 0.

God I'm so happy that our standups are simple, laid back and quick that we have never even consider using something like this.

Google Meet, <10 minutes, bam. One meeting per day, unless I'm getting direct feedback from customers or triaging bugs.
Please never change the simplicity of your program!

I love that it has just four buttons: dark/light mode, download *.txt, eraser and full screen. Your piece of software made me instantly concentrate with laser sharp focus. Usually, I'm quite overwhelmed by my writing and the more I write, the more annoyed I get. So much to edit. Blah. The app achieves exactly what you've promised!

As a sidenote, something beautiful happened, I started playing around with long and short sentences. I even found some of my sentences beautiful. Something that had never happened before because I was constantly overwhelmed by all the other stuff, paragraphing, coherence and whatnot.

I was a bit irritated first that the program allowed me to erase multiple lines (it violates a bit the no-editing mindset) but later I found this option quite helpful when I needed to change the beginning of a sentence to steer in another direction that flowed better.

What I would love the program to have is, from the perspective of a writer, to know that the text I've written is somewhere safely stored on my computer like a backup file or something. That way, I wouldn't need to worry about the system breaking down and me losing all my work. For a serious writer, knowing that the text is securely stored somewhere in a backup file and readable with any program, would erase the fear and enhance the flow of writing. Furthermore, at first, I wondered if there is a limit of how many words I can write before the software breaks down or tells me I reached the maximum capacity. I think I'm allowed to write as much as I want, 100.000 words or 1.000.000 words, right? However, it would be super nice if you would communicate that.

Even though I love the word count because it gives me a sense of space and time, I would like to be able to turn it off, so I can enter a true flow state. Forgetting about space, time, and word count. https://endel.io/ for example uses infinite soundscapes to create flow states. That way, the human mind doesn't get jolted out of the experience, the science says. Maybe the same approached could be applied to your program, too? Anything that gives you a sense of time and space should be avoided to enable the writer to be fully immersed in writing. Because every so often I looked at the bottom right of the screen and saw that I've written 1000 words and started to wonder if I've already written enough, but in reality, I shouldn't have to worry about those kinds of things. I should just write.

Does this help?
Haha. Here’s a faster compression model. Make a database of every image ever made. Compute a thumbprint and use that as the index of the database. Boom!
The lack of machine language programming out of the box was deliberate and similar to Apple's App Store business model. If you wanted to be a serious developer for the platform you had to buy an expensive 32K upgrade and floppy drive. Then you could use the assembler and other languages.

The RAM thing was an architectural choice - you weren't really meant to use the 256 bytes of SRAM for your programs, you were meant to share 16K of RAM with the video processor and make all read and write requests via the video chip. (You could access the 32K expansion directly)

For a while I was looking ahead to getting a used card from a miner but I am stuck on the horns of this dilemma: NVIDIA is very quick to roll out new features. It’s been a while since I’ve done AI work but there is software out there that won’t run on the two 10-series cards I used and I’m worried a 30-series might have trouble running models that come out a year from now.
Reputation systems should be based on /abuse/, not on automation. I also ended up on the naughty list for running an archival scraping program. Trying to preserve part of the Internet is apparently against the rules. It's really a shame because my code honors rate limits, doesn't spam, and is completely docile.
Your authentication system should have per-user and per-IP rate limits.
This is a dystopia. Utopia is where everyone can just do whatever they want, because the human population is lower than the carrying capacity.
So-called "self-driving" systems, or the more-accurately-named lane-keeping and distance-keeping systems, may or may not be safer than human drivers driving equivalent cars, but they are much safer than alcohol-impaired drivers.

The idea of having to blow into a tube every time I start my car seems outrageous, of course, but so many deaths every year in the US are due to alcohol-impaired driving that I'd almost be willing to support it.

Of course, given that they're only calling for new cars to be so equipped, we'd be looking at a very long period of time in which people prone to driving under the influence would refuse to buy newer cars, justifying it by saying that the systems don't understand how their alcohol tolerance works.

I would also highly recommend shellcheck (https://www.shellcheck.net/) for useful error messages and warnings!
I guess nice idea, but wtf nvidia is going on with those comparison shots, the new "improved" versions are completely missing the ambience/feel of the original scenes. Instead of having dark neutral/cold gloomily lit scenes we now get scenes flooded with warm light? I suppose its neat that you can do such relighting of stuff, but it doesn't feel like it serves the games properly.
I think the EXIF data is removed because, for the vast majority of people that don't think to remove it, it's a safety risk. Posting a picture of your house? Your kid arriving at their first day of school? Some other location you'd rather a bad person not have info on? Most people don't think to remove that data before posting (and sometimes post directly from their phone camera?)... removing that data removes a lot of risk for them. Leaving it in is only considered a small benefit to a smaller subset of people (comparatively)
I've rebooted GPUs hundreds of times to find the optimal tuning parameters. Failures after a reboot were very few and long term over the entire collection of GPUs, we've seen very few failures. Definitely within operating parameters.

Sounds like C++ has hurt you quite a bit.

I mean, I don't use it, and I've been writing C for a solid 25 years, but Behdad is one of the best engineers I've ever met in my life. So I definitely don't share your opinion of the code or the quality.
No, this is nonsense. In reality, there is a link between cost of electricity, value of bitcoin, hashing rewards, and electricity used in hashing. And the dependent variable is the electricity used in hashing - not the cost of electricity, nor the value of bitcoin.
Power generation creates a lot of heat too. Coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants usually all operate by boiling and recondensing water, and as a consequence they have cold water as an input and warm/hot water as an output. That's a problem for rivers. France recently had to reduce output on their nuclear reactors because running them full power would make the rivers unacceptably warm.

I suppose it's less of an issue if your power plant uses sea water as coolant.
8. The app is built by a large consulting company and no-one gives a shit about the package size because the client isn’t paying extra for that (or “we will put it on the backlog”, and then it’s never addressed)
MD5 may not be collision resistant, but the logic in your conclusion is completely wrong. There is no feasible pre-image attack on MD5. The MD5 generated _was not arbitrary_; they seem to have just brute-forced a few of the leading bytes and then did a Nostradamus attack.

Again: finding something that hashes to an arbitrary MD5 sum is still not known to be feasible. This isn't a particularly good reason to use MD5, but this also means that MD5 is not broken in the way you think it is.

When somebody finds something that hashes to all zeroes you can finally say that MD5 is completely broken. It is not known to be at that point yet.
That's not how it works at least in the US, but I don't know about Germany. SCOTUS claims that the judicial system is not for reviewing all the acts passed for constitutionality, but (as per Article III) only addressing specific harms brought up by individuals (the requirement for standing). This is from a 1992 precedent:

1. The plaintiff must have suffered an "injury in fact," meaning that the injury is of a legally protected interest which is (a) concrete and particularized and (b) actual or imminent
2. There must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct brought before the court
3. It must be likely, rather than speculative, that a favorable decision by the court will redress the injury

Talking in advance about what law is constitutional would be perverse under such system (I love the standing doctrine, btw and so does the Chief Justice).
Indeed! Abstractions deal with commonalities, and those do exist. ("There exists something in common between the three horses and the three apples you want to treat the horses with.")
Totally agree. I do think that people underestimate the width of that point tho. For most people who are not racing the suspension benefits probably outweighs the minimal aero loss, but it’s really hard to measure. I have been on fast group rides on 48mm slicks and although I get funny looks (and am not going to win many races because I’m old and lazy) I genuinely L find it easier to keep up than on 28mm tyres i had previously. Part of that is confidence maneuvering at speed on fairly crappy roads though.
I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case originally.
Tesla, like every other publicly traded company, sells their product at a price they feel they can get away with, in order to maximize profits. Any cost savings in the process only affects the floor price, which they're probably not selling at.
It’s been a while since I’ve logged into YouTube but my impression is that the experience including recommendations is worse if you are logged in.
Based on a certain recent high profile hack, getting just one 2FA auth this way could already be enough ;-)

I doubt most people would be suspicious if their system prompted them to touch their key, they touched it, the software kept waiting, so they touch it again and it works this time.
I think it is a mix of many parameters and the main one was that when cx was invented people were using toe clips with straps, albeit looser than on the road and they would hit the ground until the rider has put his foot inside when the bottom bracket was too low.

The rest is mostly the ability to pedal in the corners without clipping a wheel, which help maintain and feel grip, tradition and also to help on the many off camber sections the courses used to have.

I think quicker turning has never been the true reason imo.
I think Zuck stated that Meta had made firm commitments to spend at least $10B over several years on building the metaverse, but some of that hasn't actually been spent yet.
Of course it's your phone. That's how modern finance works. The only purchases you're likely to make that accrue equity in a legal/contractual framework are cars and homes. Once that phone is in your hands, it's yours to do with as you wish.

"Write once run anywere" heard that many times. No sandbox is going to give you safety. Spectre and Meltdown are great examples of that. It is the matter of time and popularity. Cryptojacking and malware is already the problem[0].

You just need build infrastructure. As far as I know, you need XCode to generate the "app" that contains the extension (all extensions need to be provided by an "app" even if it doesn't have any logic in it), then code sign and upload to the App Store. There are open, third-party implementations of the code signing tools so it can be done without a Mac but it just requires effort.
There's no point in looking at it other than as a "live service" game where content is added, changed and deleted, just like League of Legends. Any other approach is futile.
If it’s a VAE then the latents should really be distributions, usually represented as the mean and variance of a normal distribution. If so then it should be possible to use the variance to determine to what precision a particular latent needs to be encoded. Could perhaps help increase the compression further.

No Man's Sky is quite fun nowadays, it scratches my Star Trek "to boldly go" itch whenever I boot it up. It isn't Star Citizen, but it also never promised to be. In a sense, No Man's Sky is to Elite Dangerous what Breath of the Wild is to Elden Ring. Similar games with very different approaches that lead to much different experiences. That being said, it's not very hardcore unless you play it on the harder difficulties. Even then, the cartoony/comic-book aesthetic might rub you the wrong way (totally understandable).

I'd also recommend Rimworld, though it's a completely different kind of game from Star Citizen. However, I think a lot of the people who enjoy the ideas of tightly-interlocked systems would get a real kick out of it. It's heavily management-focused and doesn't have any space combat, but it's in a highly-complete state with thousands of really well-made mods. If you're looking for oodles of procedural sci-fi storytelling, this is where to get it at.
> L5 is about transport, where everything can be 10-100x more efficient if everyone is FSD. But if even 1% decide to take the wheel then it's instant gridlock everywhere.

If that were true we'd never get to L5. We'd need a hard switch over before L5 was deployable, and L5 needs to be deployable before there would ever be a hard switch over. Deadlock.

The hard truth is, self-driving is going to have to share the road for decades before human drivers are phased out completely, and, that being the case, there is no reason for them not to have steering wheels for the time being.

Yes, I do realize the tax. The price is ridiculous nevertheless. I do not expect anything else but reasonable pricing.

Stop being a corporate apologist. Nvidia is known for anti consumer behaviour since forever. This is just another Turingesque launch. i.e. bad.

I swear you "but the tax" people always crawl out the woodwork whenever someone is discontent with pricing.
With Ukraine, is it time for a defense batch at YC?
With a lot of people flying Ukraine flags, I just wanted to pose the question. I worry whether the leaders of Silicon Valley will remember its roots (1) or prefer to let the world become a more dangerous place through a policy of splendid isolation (term borrowed from British diplomats and MIT electrical engineer Vannevar Bush, 2,3).

Great demonstration of skill from someone who's used it for thousands of hours. Impressive.
CDPR was so high on the success of their previous games that they would have recouped their investment had they released a literal potato. The money came at the cost of the studio's reputation, however.
It is much mure than that. Greed and lust for power are only motivators as long as it is profitable. Ideology goes way beyond and can motivate extreme hatred. Because ideology can turn a non-issue or a minor issue into an existential threat in the mind of the believers.
Please stop this madness of spinlocks in userspace.

They are inefficient and conceptually incorrect for the absolute majority of applications. If you are..

* not writing a kernel;

* not running your tasks with SCHED_FIFO and not running individual tasks pinned to individual cores;

.. then you should not even think about spinlocks. They will waste resources and perform very poorly.

Linus' rant [1] is not a rant but a detailed explanation of how real world process scheduling works, and should serve as a good reminder of what happens if you disregard basic computer science knowledge when writing software.

NVIDIA not giving you a 20% discount on their hardware to adjust for currency exchange rates isn't really the scandal you think it is. I really really wish during the last 20 years when the euro was higher that I would have gotten a "USD discount" on all my purchases from the EU, but that's not how it works.
This hack might be a cause: https://github.com/marmolak/gray386linux/commit/81f9adb4656f...
What does "based on European values and jurisdiction" refer to? I'd love to be pleasantly surprise, but this sounds like it's ripe for centralized censorship.
Disagree on that - Radio is not just for discovery but also for easy random playlist creation.
The other not-so-great approach is to act like a normal user. This stuff doesn't tend to happen to the average Joe who browses the WWW. It's when you're doing unusual (albeit harmless) things.
National mail in voting would solve some of these issues. No polls? No policing the polls or poll workers.
That’s a nice sentiment, but based on what I’ve seen of how this particular sausage is made, I’m willing to bet it’s literally that no-one with the right amount of influence cares enough about shrinking the package size. So it just stays like that.
In the EU, you can very easily opt out of living in Germany.

> This is obviously not true. I don't even know how to even begin to argue this point, it is patently obvious that luck plays a major factor in everything you do, whether you recognize it or not.

The details of one's life are luck. But the overall arch is not luck - you get to pick it. For example, who you meet and marry is luck. However, enabling luck to find you means 1) making yourself attractive to a potential 2) making efforts to go out and meet others. Sitting in your basement crying about loneliness is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

> modern capitalists insist on the "self-made man" mythos.

Because it's true. People don't start businesses because they're lucky. They make a plan and follow it. That isn't luck.

Where you are in life right now is the sum of a mountain of choices you made.

> I was in the right places at the right times

I.e. you weren't hiding in your basement crying about how unlucky you were.

> nobody does likes to recognize that the status they have is because of (wholly or partially) luck

It's very popular these days to let everyone know about how lucky one is. It's the modern expression of virtuousness. The oddballs are those who dare to say "I did that". You're not a pinball in a pinball machine. You chose your trajectory.
It’s kind of disappointing that history, philosophy, and mathematics are not taught together. When you try to piece these things together yourself you start to realize how much context you miss out on when studying them in isolation.
Congrats on the launch Josh and team!
You may disagree with that justification, sure. The point is that there are people who are convinced by it.
So much of it comes down to what exactly you mean by exist. Which ultimately ends up being a boring disagreement. People can have bigger or smaller definitions of what it means and then have passionate disagreements with each other about what fits inside which are ultimately about nothing but how big a person prefers their definition.
I mostly used Docker and a cloud environment for anything related to VM.
100% on “prep that doesn’t get done”. We have a slackbot at my place of work that asks people to do extremely quick updates for yesterday, today in lieu of the standup. Even getting people to consistently do that is an exercise.
I hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as a 100% sovereign country anywhere in the world.
> Tell people about things you do that they played a part it- it might just make their day.

Agree so much! I’ve met numerous people, often co-workers, who say “oh I know you I used your blog post”. Wish they’d have shot me a quick email! It’s always a nice surprise when someone reaches out to say thanks.
> All the old, problematic approaches are still valid code, and hence from a security perspective they are vulnerabilities.

So, you would mandate using Rust without "unsafe", then? Good luck with that.
> They're competing against [..] Intel

No they aren't. All signs point to ARC's first outing being a swing & a miss, and Intel themselves didn't even have any plans to come anywhere close to competing at the top end. Intel's highest end ARC card, the A770, was positioned against the RTX 3060. And Intel is both missing any semblance of a release date it set for itself, but the drivers are also a disaster and rumors are Intel is going to shutter the entire division, focusing only on data center compute cards only.

So used cards yes are a factor, yes, but if this really is a 2x performance jump then those aren't going to be a factor here. None of the $1000+ GPU buying market is going to care about saving $100-300 to get half the performance after all.

That just lives AMD as competition, and only if RDNA 3 comes out a winner. Which the rumor mill is saying it will be, but AMD's graphics track record is spotty to put it mildly. I'm sure Nvidia's internal plan is to just cut prices if RDNA 3 surprisingly competes at the top end instead of just the midrange, but in the meantime is happy to take those fat fat margins.
