I find it strange that citizens of democratic countries agree that democracy in politics is necessary but democracy in economics is not...

By that I mean humans are born into this world with one vote for every election in politics but in economics people are born with zero votes and must rely on the benevolence of their parents.

There is no minimum access to pollution rights, natural resources, land and perhaps money granted to every citizen equally the moment they are born. It doesn't have to be an insane amount that people can live off, just enough to feel like you are not born as an illegal alien on this planet.

No, I don't mean welfare, I mean real democracy.
If this is interesting to you, have a look at Irvine.

Consumer GPUs (rtx3090, etc) are not allowed to use in a datacenter according to nvidia’s terms, so companies renting them need to buy the much more expensive GPUs. I think this might be a big factor.
I find hibernation to be the best approach. Zero battery drain, my laptop boots in 5 seconds (or negligible time to be concerned about). Just set it up to hibernate when the lid is closed.
This sounds like you consider what has been called "feature engineering" in older ML research as being fundamental to modern ML successes. But the trajectory has been the opposite direction, away from feature engineering, and instead towards letting the transformer architecture learn as much as possible, including interesting features.

Most research on deep net architecture, is about how to train it effectively on huge stacks of GPUs and TPUs. That's how/why transformers were invented.

Your example implies that they are not affected by star signs. This is arguably false given people believe in star signs and thus certainly influenced by the traits of said star signs.

Im actually a bit suprised. Getting anything but MISRA C/C++ certified is usually a no-go, but maybe and finally this is an alternative to fucking MISRA.
Right now the text generation API can be used to do the conversational stuff along with a massive amount of other stuff like classification or adding questions about what is in text or how proper would respond to things for analysis purposes.

There's an embeddings API for text/code/images that can bed used for the similar snippets stuff if you bring your own vector search engine like milvus etc, but eventually I'll support uploading sets of documents and do the finding relevant snippets behind the scenes so you can ask these kinds of questions e.g. so people can do custom site specific FAQ answering bots etc.

There's an example in the playground of shorter autocomplete which is another way of helping agents too that it supports
IBM AIX for IA64 (Itanium) a.k.a. Project Monterey Runs Again
Because the point is not what happens when the user/administrator should reboot, the point is what happens if the user/administrator ignores that advice for a week or two.
For some even this reverse engineered clone would be unacceptable.

I could see that if it was a software emulation or e.g. an FPGA reimplementation, but this one is still using the original GPUs so would be comparable to having a modern GPU from Asus or Gigabyte instead of the reference designs from AMD or Nvidia.
Brain dump some bullet points as an outline that you can later expand on. You have no idea how helpful it will be to other people including your future teammates. ;-)
I think it varies a lot between ships. I have a big ship that has (had) home harbor in my town. I just applied on their website.

Just go and search for tall ships near where you live and see what their arrangements are. Some are school ships that might only accept certain ages. Some might mostly do short trips. But some do long expeditions and need a lot of volunteers.

I went sailing on the ship Götheborg[1] which is currently doing an expedition from Sweden to East Asia, although it will pause for winter in the Mediterranean soon. Their only hard requirement is that you're 18+ and fit to climb a rig.

It also doesn't have to be tall ships. There are plenty of smaller ships looking for crew. Haven't tried that myself but I've heard someone using some site called crew finder. There seems to plenty of such sites though.

I used to have it; it's a technically nice system when working, but the problem is having no choice of provider, no control when it goes wrong, etc.

Makes sense for flats (or dense area of many leasehold houses, if that happens) where there's a management company holding your throat anyway, but otherwise I can't see how it works unless perhaps it was provided by the council (similar disadvantages, just more trust/better outcomes from complaints).

> But if LLVM is available, they will get dollar signs in their eyes, and have visions of selling expensive proprietary compilers to a captive market (i.e. owners of their hardware).

This is literally not what is happening in the real world though. Counter example: NEC SX Aurora (literally developed in the open https://github.com/sx-aurora-dev/llvm-project), Fujitsu A64FX (free LLVM based compiler, $$$$ proprietary home grown compiler), AMD with hipSYCL. The reason for this if there was no LLVM available, the compiler would be totally proprietary. This from scratch compiler would have been more expensive to make leading it to not being available for free but instead licensed at huge cost. There has been no uptake of GCC for this role since it's inception. We both know why.

And even if a $$$$ using LLVM is made i would prefer that over a fully custom compiler. I can link against it like a LLVM compiler and you can learn a lot about a unknown platform from how LLVM compiles for it, making reverse engineering a lot easier compared to a proprietary compiler.

The server is running nginx on FreeBSD.
As someone who's working on something similar (one-man project), what I struggle the most is with the infra details.

Author mentions that there's a single machine for the api, db and nginx; this means the machine is publicly accesible to everyone, and so is the db (although the port the db is running could be only accessible to localhost). I don't really feel comfortable doing that (so I force myself to out the db within a vpc).

How does the author provision the Hetzner machine? Manually? Terraform? Ansible? If something goes wrong with the single machine, how long does it take to rebuild everything from scratch? For me this is very important and I force myself to being able to rebuild everything with one or two commands (usually using Ansible).

Agree with the lack of usage of k8s. For a one-man project, it seems a bit overkill.

And finally, monitoring. After working for over a decade in the industry, I don't feel comfortable deploying stuff to production that is not monitored (e.g., Prometheus + grafana).

Ok, there's also: backups, security updates, and a whole bunch of stuff that still delays my first deployment.
Two years earlier, he dismissed it as "just a tool like a typewriter": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmxOq9STmQM, so it's interesting how he evolved. He does already say that he liked immediate feedback from comments about the show the night before, so the point about the audience was already there.

This is consistent with Bowie's genius to be more an early adopter type than a visionary type. A hell of an early adopter.

Tibia has inspired me to learn programming and then to become
a game developer. Almost 20 years later, when I no longer need to code in my professional work, I am creating a game that is heavily influenced by Tibia and its mechanics in my free time.

Their PVP system was insane - you really felt the death of your character. Like, you could lose weeks of your game in one second.
By the way, C++20 designated initializers works like a charm for this.

foo::some_func({
.a = 8,
.b = false
});

(I view this and std::span as the only two usable features in C++20, and pretty much everything else can go to the dustbin or the drawing board.)
You're welcome. I have to guard my heart from envy when I read one person being able to pull something like that off.
I am currently installing a Thermia Calibra ground source heat pump (installers are apparently too busy).

When I looked at the insides of the pump, the simplicity of construction was surprising- I could readily understand whats going on, as it consisted of off-the shelf parts made by other companies- compressor, circulation pumps, VFD and heat exchangers.
With this model, the ideal price would be $1 million/gal.
I prefer AdGuard Home for it’s simplicity. Used PiHole before and AdGuard Home is so much simpler for me
The point is that the 3D-geometry portion of the pipeline is still done on CPU with these early cards. The API's may have been slightly broader, but the hardware accelerated part was limited to rasterization, i.e. painting 2D triangles.
I own a 2021 Volvo and the blinkers doesn’t blink regularly. They may blink fine for a awhile but then stops for a period, and then suddenly all missed blinks blinks in a rapid succession. It’s extremely annoying. There are other bugs, like when you are using the auto pilot where it sometimes may suddenly jerk the wheel even though there is nothing wrong with the road. Scares the shit out of you. That has happened thrice now.

Try vast.ai . They are a market place where people rent out mostly consumer GPUs at low prices.
dangit! I hadn't tried testing it on a repo with commits that far in the past (obviously)

Thank you for the bug report and PR ;) I'll look at fixing it with your code.
there's a reasonable expectation that a repo named "cool algorithms" won't use extremely dumb exponential-time versions when linear-time ones exist. Also in this case there's a logarithmic-time one that does repeated squaring of a 2x2 matrix.
Let me translate that:

Antitrust regulations "would impose rules that are bad for our bottom line, and would offer consumers choice."

"We got so big because of lax regulations and mergers like the Doubleclick merger that weren't stopped, and we still want to keep buying out any potential competitors."

How do I install the same version of Postgres if my dev machine and production run different OSes? Should I use Debian/Ubuntu repositories, or should I use apt.postgresql.org? Should I trust a third-party company (EDB) to provide me with a sane Windows installer and not upsell me on services later? Do I really need the arcane "cluster" setup in Debian/Ubuntu packages? How do I run Postgres in WSL2 if I’m using the Debian/Ubuntu packages?

Or I can sidestep all these questions, and just use the same Docker image everywhere, which will give me the same version of Postgres and the same config. I agree it shouldn’t contain any schema/data.
A browser is hard to fork, and a fork of a browser is hard to maintain. They might be able to get away with not doing this.

The reality is that this time, they are taking a good decision, on its own, not because they have to for some reason, and this should be recognized as-is. They took enough bad decisions we can attack, no need to belittle them for this one.
And the market for available ADA devs is ... <crickets>

Even the USAF and defense contractors like Lockheed Martin switched to C++ from ADA for the F-35.

ADA is basically dead and buried outside of maintenance for 35+ year old planes, but I doubt those are seeing much active SW development done on them.
Yea, images/video is interesting, I think combining textual instruct and dalle/other models would be interesting so you could describe literally "restore this old photo and upscale+colorize it".

Was thinking of ways to do that kind of thing, I think unified IO is a good start at some flexibility but still lots of peices missing.

In the world of video training your own video filters based on editing a few frames is quite common E.g. something like nuke copycat or using ebsynth etc.

There's likely some new wave of DSLs or visual workflow builders coming that are either more ml friendly and or specific to building a conversational system/ image editing pipeline etc
And the results suck
My 7kw unit can only possibly draw 900ish watt.

800 watt for the refrigerant pump, and about 100 watt combined for the two fans.

This means even when I'd like it a little warmer on the coldest days, making the heat pump use more power isn't an option.

A larger unit would have a bigger refrigerant pump and larger fans. This would result in us inadvertently leaving the unit on a higher heat setting more often.

Also, a larger unit will be turning a larger pump and larger fans even when smaller would achieve the same outcomes. Mechanic losses.

These two factors, human habit & mechanical losses, are, as I understand it, why you're generally better off having more small systems than one big system.

We have three split systems, in addition to the 7kW unit at one end of the house, there are two 2.4kW units, one I'm each of the bedrooms we use. When one or more units aren't required they can be turned off. Another advantage of this setup is that it's extremely unlikely all three systems will breakdown simultaneously.

Another issue with the larger units is they tend to be ducted, where the ducting is in a poorly insulated roof space, so there's additional heat losses there, and additional losses due to energy required to push air through the ducts.
Modern heat pumps drive the VFD and circulation pumps as needed (i.e. the pumps run slower when the heat demand is low).

The main factor for good efficiency is low output temperature- underfloor heating works at ~35 deg C, radiators work at ~55 degC (because of smaller surface area).

I sized my heat pump based on historical data of heating oil /diesel consumption- since I had the data of past two winters, I could reliably determine the maximum continuous heat requirements for my house.
We can argue the validity of people's claims to have changed their orientation back and forth, but the science is in:

>Some of the largest studies report little to no reported change in sexual orientation, and reports of success are unpersuasive due to serious methodological limitations and sometimes major flaws in study designs.

>Evidence of harm associated with conversion therapy outweighs reports of some benefits, such as social support and a sense of belonging. In addition, the reported benefits are common to most forms of talking therapy or support groups and could be provided by other, more affirmative, approaches that mitigate risks of harm.

I really doubt that Windows will globally die because you experienced boot issues. If you were a non-lazy dev/engineer, you would have parsed your event log to understand the reason it took so much time to boot and you would have fixed the issue. But you rather invested your time in writing a rant on internet. A clue: when you boot your Windows system on rare occasions, at the moment it boots it will update or finish the installation of updates from the previous boot. Which can explain some important boot duration. My take: complain less, investigate more and configure your Windows system for your specific usage.

Yes, JSX (and React) is interesting in this way: it's not a (full) template language. Instead, it's a convenient way to write component fragments that include HTML/XML expressions and further components. Each component top-level is still JavaScript statements.

There's also an escape hatch to include arbitrary JS expressions inside your JSX expressions, although perhaps we should use it only to include variables and not more complex JS expressions.

In the end, templates are not important, components are. JSX provides just what's necessary to make it convenient to define components in JS.
Is there something wrong with this video? It seems pretty factual to me that oil is sold in an open market and companies just sell it to the highest bidder. Using the reserve like this is perfectly reasonable to avoid (more) chaos.
Products can suck regardless of the programing language used.
yeah I agree. I think it's because they pretty much allow contributions of algorithms from various people and the code review standards are not super high. I recall at one point the BFS algorithm in Java actually used an ArrayList (roughly equivalent to std::vector) for the queue, which is silly because popping from the front is O(N), so I had to submit a fix for that:

https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Java/pull/3231

but I agree that basic low-hanging issues like this (and the exponential-time fibonacci that another commenter pointed out) really prevents me from taking this repo very seriously
I remember that dying in this game is extremely stressful. Moreso than in any other game I played. Each death removes the XP from your character often equivalent to XX hours of effort to level up. And it is not that hard to die, so you have to put a lot of attention in what you are doing and it creates an illusion of importance. It is very addictive. I do not recommend it.

No, it's definitely true. Any significant supply put on the market slows prices everywhere. As they said, the market is global.
To get 60k/y you don't even need to work for a US company - it'll be much easier to find something in Germany or UK because of the time zone. Heck, even Polish companies offer this kind of salaries these days (they also post salary ranges most of the time so you can check it) and they're often very remote-friendly
I don't think that is good idea. It limits the options too much. It should only come with absolutely empty unformatted disk. Everything else is too much intrusion. Best case would be even without any UEFI or similar key material in place. So user would have to choose their own.
Yeah and this death system is one reason why casuals can’t play it.

For horizontal designs yes- the rule of thumb is the brine coil area should be around 3x the heated area.
However, the vertical bores don't need much area, just expensive drilling work.
Probably because you need sufficient oxygen for combustion. The propane would only ignite where it comes out and mixes. Once the flame travels into the purged pipe it will probably die out for lack of oxygen.

Ticklish though I'm sure to do it properly and safely.
Thanks for sharing that. It’s one of those conditions, like Tourette’s or OCD that has an almost comic reputation in popular portrayals. More people need to understand what it really is.

If it does i do not notice Doom down scaling in the first 3 hours of game play.
I see. So in this instance, it's O(32^2 * 36)? That is better than 2^19, depending on implementation efficiency.
I was saddened recently when I learnt they changed "View image" to "Open image in new tab". I loved the way "View image" worked, allowing you to maintain the image in full view while preserving tab history. If you wanted to open it a new tab, you could middle click it or ctrl click it. But since users were used to the Chrome behaviour they changed it to match, and thus Firefox lost a functionality. Unfortunately, since this is such a niche use case, Mozilla has little incentive to restore it. (Note: Extensions that restore the context menu item fails when the image loading relies on the REFERER header, since it actively re-requests it.)

There are numerous smaller items like this, that just flowed a lot better, particularly if you're heavily browsing images, like tab previews, that have been sacrificed either in the name of performance or to be more like Chrome. Fortunately, SeaMonkey still maintains these classic features, but is unfortunately a memory hog.

My daily browser has also been Firefox since around 2004. SeaMonkey remains a time pocket, when I long for the old days of yore.
Isn't there a certain amount of self righteous hypocrisy here since most of Mozilla's revenue comes from these same companies?

what? analog PA systems that cross giant buildings or even campuses have been a thing for a long time.

The traditional design uses a 70v or higher bus and a transformer at each speaker.

I would be really surprised if the PA speakers we anything but that-- electronics at each speaker is a repair/failure rate headache.
You can literally make that with a one-liner Userscript in your browser.
I thought windows had bad UX until I tried macOS. Maybe my taste is different than others but I found macOS UX to be really confusing. I particularly disliked the iconset. Interestingly this is not true for iOS and iPadOS, those are magnificent.
You don't need to trust Google, but it certainly don't mean making general statements about what Google is doing. The article says nothing about discouraging Flutter use and given Flutter 3 came out this year, Google is still supporting and using it. Flutter has iOS UI replication of look and feel, which is what that article says Google is encouraging. Fuschia hasn't come out yet, but it still uses Dart and Flutter is used to create apps on it.

I'll take a bet, use and choose Flutter for a long time.

HN loves heat pumps; I'll never have one again - utter shite.

I lived in the mountains of Southern California. As part of an FHA loan in buying my childhood house from my dad, we had to "upgrade" from a swamp/evaporative cooler and wood burning stoves and went with a heat pump. The unit and ducting just couldn't keep up. It sighed out slightly warmer/cooler air and, when it kicked on, it pushed outside-temp air into the house that, in winter, would take the unit over an hour to bring the house back to its starting temp, let alone warm it. It really sucks to be cold and to have to get colder before a chance at warming up. It was similarly lame at cooling, though it would keep the house from sweltering if started before sunrise. Temp range outside: 20-40s in winter, up to 90s with a couple of days in the 100s in summer.

We went back to the wood burning stove and swamp cooler.
Why would U.S. need this storage at all today when it is energy independent and is a net exporter of all main kinds of fossil fuels? This is a legacy of Nixon era when U.S. depended on Middle Eastern imports that could be cut off anytime.
