Not very open though.

Livepatch is closed, unlike kpatch.

And probably they are going to be using some kind of snap packages somewhere.

Which are annoying to deal with and centralized.

However since many of the things they support are using a GPL license, then its a matter of time until we get a Ubuntu Pro clone.

Also its free for 5 Devices, RHEL is free for 16 but you need to renew every year manually, which is really annoying, looks like Ubuntu Pro doesn't require to do such a thing.

I like the RHEL philosophy in software more, as they tend to make everything open, unlike canonical which is currently pushing a centralized package format and has a history of trying to do things their own way.

This is coming from someone who is using Debian everywhere.

I'm not sure how true this is. I mean, today it is, because we don't have any production capacity to build those misc parts. Apple can't just say 'i want everything made in the USA from USA made parts', because it would be literally impossible to do so. You have a few small outlets you could probably source, but not enough for a mass market device.

That said, -if- we could get there, I'm not convinced it would be all that much more expensive to the end user just due to the massive scale of everything. How much more? Who knows, but even if we say something rather high like $200 per unit, it's not much when you're spending $1200 already. I get most people would take the cheaper option, but a company with Apple's clout and fan base may be the one company to actually effect change, if they wanted to.

> Russia formally annexed ~15% of Ukraine today. How is that winning?

You can buy such annexation in every shop with annexations. It doesn’t matter what the Russian president says he wants. I’m sorry that this sounds like a meme but … nobody cares.

I don’t know which WWII you remember. Germany invaded USSR with the idea of ending up in Moscow. They failed because they run out of time before winter hit them hard. Their supply lines were stretched so far that they could not supply their army.

This tactic is now used against Russia. This is a different conflict altogether.

Frankly, it’s the Russian behaviour that looks like Germany’s WWII invasion of USSR.

Back then it was also USA who defeated Hitler with Russian hands: https://ru.usembassy.gov/world-war-ii-allies-u-s-lend-lease-....

Let me offer this:

> … Soviet dictator Josef Stalin raised a toast to the Lend-Lease program at the November 1943 Tehran conference with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.

> "I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."

> Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion.

> "If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me."

Sounds very familiar, no?
A best-by date isn't really an expiration date, if your fridge is clean then you've usually got a week or two longer than the best-by date before the food actually goes bad. Depends on the food of course.
Any amount of primary energy consumption that covers more than the already built up areas or the land currently used for fuel ethanol with solar will rapidly cook the planet through nuclear.

Current primary energy is 18TW. Total insolation is 170PW. GHG forcing is about 200TW. We can provide enough solar with smaller than a 1000km square. More than that will kill us no matter the technology used (but solar is better than most as the total heat it produces is a bit more than the work done rather than 3x).

Growth must end or physics will end it for us. Climate change is the warning shot across the bow, not the full volley.
My point is an adult pretending to be a little girl is almost certainly a pedophile and I'm disappointed HN lets this go unchallenged
They were meant, mostly, for punch-card machines.

So if you started programming anywhere after the point in time when you needed to hand off your code to a punch card operator, you're unlikely to have seen them.
They also get substandard solutions. IME, confident people are just better.

A subjugated worker doesn't make a very good problem solver. They're really good at following procedure, though.
For structured logging I recently came across https://messagetemplates.org/ which seems like a reasonable approach that also provides a human readable format.
> often had to have the volume at a bare minimum of 50% in order to hear speech correctly. Now I could get away with 15%.

Sounds like you don't need a mic or anything other than the EQ to make movies watchable. Just reduce every frequency range other than that of human voices. No more having your ears blasted by loud music / explosions because, earlier, you had to turn the volume up to maximum in order to barely hear the dialog.
Charging can be yes.

But you are still asking for a complete rewrite of how everythinf works, for it all to be totally different. It's not a totally unreasonable ask, it's just not in reach. Unlike my discussion above, which proposes a plan entirely doable with standards we have.

USB-PD negotiates power delivery, but it doesnt communicate battery or other status. It uses a different sideband to nevotiate outside regular usb communications, and conveys very limited information. There's no battery informatuon conveyed.

My above post spoke to how multi-decade old USB HID standards can be used to present current battery status for battery packs. We'd have to flip the relationship around- make the charger be a host that can manage an attached battery, the laptop be a peripheral that exports it's power status, to invert tbe control system as you want, to make the charger responsible for battery managememt & not the device. Or we'd need to radically revamp usb-pd & layer in a lot more capabilities.

It'd be cool, in some ways. Plug in any device & it'll only 85% charge. But it's also far more complicated & rewrites all the rules in every way, unlike what I was talking about, which is just battery packs & chargers kind enough to export their status over some very very old simple specs.

I don’t think it’s a self driving company. More like an “advance safety company” that utilizes the car already on board sensors.

Regardless, it’s an awesome idea for a company.

Honestly, if you don’t have million dollar contract with companies like Nvidia, Samsung, Qualcomm. It is a waste of time.

Sadly, like every project made by small teams. We all have to use 3rd party provides.

How would you solve the various exit node issues? If anyone can run an exit node, it's bound to be as trustworthy as the "anyone" that runs it. Plus once your traffic is out of the onion-routed network, it's open to all the usual attacks on the public internet. I2P tries not to deal with non-I2P traffic at all because the problem is so difficult.
Don’t care for this. Just raise your prices.

> The idea of being able to take a few photographs and be able to recreate an appreciably decent 6DOF viewing experience is a very powerful enabling technology.

My understanding is that you can't just take a few photographs, but you have to label them with their position and orientation, which is often not trivial.

But perhaps this difficulty has been solved already (?)
To my mind, the right maximum size of a partition is such that your important queries are still fast. This often means that your most important indexes for the partition that serves most queries fit in RAM. So it's highly specific to a particular schema.

Often partitions are made for time-related data, and these partitions may have smaller granularity. Say, you want to keep last 6 months of data, but make the partitions week-sized, or even day-sized, to make transitions more smooth.
At least with a dollar store it makes more sense. They can't just trivially raise prices. It's their whole business model not to.

> There is a clear risk from these sorts of models as they get better - I mean recreating specific individuals’ likenesses in compromising images (or even worse, video).

This has been possible without AI for a very very long time now (just open photoshop, etc). It barely ever happens, and society hasn't collapsed.

I keep seeing this argument come up and it baffles me that informed technologists take it seriously, as if it were impossible to convincingly manipulate images before DALL-E came around.
> Russia formally annexed ~15% of Ukraine today. How is that winning?

Another way to look at it is that Russia's original attempt was for 100% and Ukraine already got 85% back.

Yes, and you can sit and eat solder all day long without getting lead poisoning.

Even metallic mercury isn't especially poisonous, and indeed people used to use it as a "purgative" at which it no doubt excelled, dropping through your guts pushing all before it.

It's the organic salts you need to worry about. The pure metal is about as bioavailable as sand, but lead salts - and in particular organic salts - are really quite spectacularly poisonous. That's what did the Romans in, after all - boiling up wine and grapes in lead pots to make "defrutum", where the lead reacted to form lead acetate. Stick a bloody great heavy metal atom onto the end of a nice big sugar? Sure, that'll help it get into your system!

It should be illegal to change a product without changing the model number or at least add a revision number.
In languages with gendered nouns, countries, cars, boats, and houses are almost always female because they contain humans (and females have a womb).

English doesn't have gendered nouns, but this linguistic quirk runs deep enough in human psychology that we do sometimes use female pronouns to describe these things. Examples: "She's a beauty" (of a car), or "America and her allies."

The biggest ways to jam the ballot boxes today are:

1. County workers leaking a roll of rarely voted voters to an external ballot stuffing operation.

2. Suitcases with rollers being carried into poll counting room.

3. And voters dropping off MANY ballots at early drop-boxes.

Until we have ways to detect those alleged acts, it remains a hard problem.
Great to add support for AV1!

I checked the HLS manifests, they don't mix formats, e.g. having both avc1 and av01 renditions in the same manifest. That should be supported by any spec compliant player and make deployment much easier.
This is not new. Imagine not releasing tools like curl or nmap because it can be used for hacking.

The issue is, as an industry and society, we somehow bought the "safety" and "harm" charade a little bit too much, and somehow think it's a reasonable argument instead of being completely insane.
Don’t get me wrong, Rocket is a terrible deal but you can do a lot worse. After using mortgage servicers that required me to use a literal fax machine, took 2 months to close, and who’s idea of an app is a broken website that requires Internet Explorer, they are much easier to deal with.
Yes! Although not for CUDA. I used opencl. nixgl helped here: https://github.com/guibou/nixGL. CUDA should be even simpler since you just add the CUDA .so paths to the RPATH. Allthough I might be missing something. Custom libc might be a whole can of worms though if it happens to be incompatible.

I tried it today. Nerfstudio is amazing. I also like the pragmatic approach to its UI: launch a command-line / text UI program, publish a localhost URL, access a rich WebUI in the browser.

NeRF rendering latency is extremely low and frames are delivered over WebRTC. Which means that there's no fundamental problem to stream WebUI over the Internet.

Nerfstudio already supports all leading NeRF flavours and also includes their own. It instantly makes a staple for all future NeRF research.

To be fair, and definitely a part of its appeal, the K&R is only 312 pages long.
It covers the language and most of the standard library you’ll need.

As opposed to say, “Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! A Beginner's Guide” which is 881 pages and doesn’t even moderately cover the prelude.

Anyway, C is an amazing language and I keep a K&R on my phone as a pdf

They probably rushed that article out the door precisely to ensure a more favorable narrative was established before new facts dropped.
The phenomenon of disregard for quality, and selling products with a negative value for an apparently low amount, is hitting the basics.

Recentmost experience: shoes. This friend of mine bought a new pair of shoes only days ago, and started having definite pains after a few days. So he opened them, which revealed that the soles were hollow, the thickness given by a form of honeycomb, in shape of a grid with large holes: he was hammering his heels on plastic blades, hidden by a thin soft buffer.

And some professionals confirm that build quality has greatly declined in general, even beyond this extreme example.

Shoes are probably on par with food in a ranking of basic needs - it makes sense to think that you will have a hard time obtaining food without a decent foot protection. And today, we are having problems in securing even this.

Totally different. Watching a display of skill, where you marvel at how much better the demonstrator is than yourself obviously has no value if the demonstrator is a machine, but then it is plainly visible that the activity has little intrinsic entertainment value and entertainment value comes from the story and personal arc of the performer. This is different from a movie where nobody really cares about the personal arc of the actor, and people are completely happy to watch an animated film where there isn't even a real actor on display.
But that has literally never happened nor is likely to happen, given the political marginalization of nuclear power.
