I am just that annoying guy trying to remind everyone Q2 RTX is still the best we've got in terms of actual games. Take that at face value. It barely runs on ~6 year old gpu.

I was about to pull a few numbers out of my ass as to how it must on a 3090 but then I thought someone on youtube must've done it already. And they have[0]. 52 fps is not great. I am no game maker of any kind but even my non-pro eyes can tell modern titles have way more geometry so the best we've got out of them is shiny surfaces and fake GI like in Metro.

That said, I am eager to get my hands on that mythical ray traced RTCW someone at AMD has been working on.
These are going to be the thing. Google glasses were too "smart" looking and frankly ripped off Steve Mann's design way too much. Magic Leap needs consumer options immediately with a focus on what Steve was doing with his glasses; truly altering reality.

This is going to be so powerful. When you have AI/AR you no longer need to learn. You can go directly from welding the perfect weld to performing the perfect adenectomy.

AI/AR is going to eliminate experts. It's going to be awesome.
you nailed it! this is exactly the problem. everything is horribly overcomplicated these days. i've 13 years of business experience and it gets harder and harder to even set up the most simple "hello world" demo of most frameworks. also the job market represents this insanity too: 5 years ago I easily got senior positions, now i don't even know the words inside most job descriptions even in my field. And on top of all, stuff like kubernetes, kibana and prometheus now also is often expected from a typical backend developer. absolute mayhem!
Use a component based framework like Primefaces and you’ll realize you can push code way about 10x faster than a js stack.
The forms they make families fill out are often given too late; and don't offer an affordance of nuance.

My dad had dementia before anyone realized, and even if he had been of sound mind, the forms tend to be all or none, rather than reflecting the range of outcomes that are remotely likely.

The discussions that are suddenly forced onto family at the end of life are an extra level of pain on top of the inevitable loss.
As a younger dev I see the opposite in my corner of the world. The senior developers spend countless hours debating the best design, engineering large architectures to bounce a handful of kilobytes of information around in the just right way to achieve architectural purity. Then they do greenfield development with old tech that is simultaneously somehow both old and barely used, as if to generate their own job security.
That would be reasonable and easily workable, but...

...daunting for millions of parents, who'd imagine (often rightly) that their kids, aided by friends & on-line instructions & such, would all-to-easily bypass the parental controls.

Yes, ray traced GI in Metro was pretty unimpressive.
For all I disagree with canonical's desktop decisions their long term support of their distro is currently unmatched. You can't get 10 years anywhere else.

Canonical's (free!) Extended Service Maintainance (ESM) program has been extremely valuable to me for the last decade. They still support security updates on Ubuntu 14.04 (April 2014) till 2024. Hopefully this rebranding of parts of ESM won't change that support.

If you do decide to ever dispose of the book, please don’t throw it away. Sell it so that this knowledge can be passed down to someone who wants to learn. Reprints of these kinds of books aren’t being made anymore, and the only other knowledge source would be (rather old) programmers from the time, who aren’t around forever.
You can fit 40TB in a tower no problem, however you have to remember to add disks for parity, and your backups should at least be a separate box. Doing it right adds up quick in terms of cost.

Ask HN: Are EGPUs for M1/M2 MacBook's on Linux Possible?
Three things:

1) 2D acceleration with the recent Rust driver in Asahi Linux seems quite attainable, and will enable everyday/office/development use.

2) USB 4 should allow suitable bandwidth for an eGPU

3) What needs to happen to support say, an Nvidia RTX 3090 in an eGPU case/dock? I'm thinking the 'open source' Nvidia driver needs to be compiled for ARM, and everything pushed to it is code for the internal ISA of the GPU.

3D acceleration through an eGPU seems much more possible in the near-term than supporting the internal iGPU of the M1/M2.
I think that is so firmly built in it will never change. I don't think he believes that email dev lists should be a safe space. I think for quite a while he curtailed it over the hubub over those social responsibility clauses or whatever that all the big open source groups were committing to a few years back when safe spaces and controlled dialogue to prevent hurt feelings were all the rage.
It's not because Amazon doesn't have a problem with it that there is no problem.

It's an incredibly wasteful way of shopping, it hurts the seller (which may not be Amazon itself), it hurts the environment, etc.
Here's a short write up about doing this. https://varun.ch/video-id :)

It works because there are two requests associated with creating a YouTube video. First, the metadata is sent (file size, video title, etc.) and it returns a video ID. Then the actual video content is sent. I cancelled the upload request and replaced the video with a new one I rendered quickly.

Commodore took radio shielding rather seriously back then. The wedge Amigas (A500, A600 and A1200) also had excessive metal shielding everywhere. A lot of Amiga owners nowadays just dispose of that as it always gets in the way when you have to fix the next thing that breaks in these machines.

> There's no privacy concerns about storing form data temporarily to regurgitate it on reload

This is obviously wrong, because it doesn't actually address privacy concerns at all. "Storing form data temporarily" says nothing about what other services/programs/people can access that data while it is stored.

And anyway, sibling comment has a very good point about local storage vs server storage.

We can fill large water dams and store energy easily that way.

This is what Switzerland is focusing on right now to make sure they have enough stored power for January and February when production doesn't suffice the requirements and purchasing electricity from abroad may not be possible.

Except Steel, Concrete, Plastics, and Ammonia production all require fossil fuels and we do not have any alternative.
We also do not have a viable alternative for air travel, or large scale shipping.
While I think it is a worthwhile goal to pursue clean energy technologies, we are a very long way (with no known alternative) from getting rid of fossil fuels.
Sure. You do hydro in Norway. Solar in Spain. Wind in the North Sea. Geothermal in Iceland. Different places, different forms of generation. Trade regionally for redundancy.

The question was “why isn’t anyone doing it”; the answer is “they are”.
If I can do it, he can do it. Someone as clever as him could write a filter/plugin if nothing else to flag messages with too many curse words and personal attacks.

I use a mouse regularly for copying and pasting in the terminal (including in vim which I'm sure is sacrilege for some). I use vim almost exclusively as an editor, but I guess old habits die hard and I've always found highlighting and copying with the mouse, plus clicking and pasting to be more natural for me.
True, I realized this when developing the initial version of zebra I posted a few days back. However relying on a SQL server that requires a unique URL turned out to be the easiest and most effective solution.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=thorio.solutio...

Beyond that you probably could cover the last 2 or so percent using string comparison against title and description or peppeteering the website.

Zebra as a social feed reader was a great learning: for example that a lot of sites circulate their content multiple times in different packages (/tiles) and very few flag paywalled content - still working on recognizing that. Any hints for a good way to distinguish that, when investigating the urls?
Really? That is a carefully directed video with a cool audio track. Have you tried running the actual tech demo?
Seems like it. I see no big advantage over just jumping wherever via search. Also search allows me to quickly look up a different part of the file and immediately jumping back with Escape.
> I don’t care if Facebook has billions of users if it’s a hot pile of garbage.

Shockingly, Apache Cassandra was initially developed at Facebook, so at least a hot pile of garbage is good for something. Plus, it'll keep you warm, so that's two things.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree that Itanium would have won anyway.

Which doesn't matter which of us is right, because AMD created AMD64 and killed Itaninum in the process.
Yeah they have I don't disagree .. kids growing up need trust was the point I failed to make.. they need to be able to do things without the fear of being tracked (the adult over the shoulder).. imagine for a second your parents putting an air tag on you as a kid.. depresses me at least.

Emulation aside, the Steam Deck has been compared to the Switch in some capacity or another in almost every single review I have ever seen of it. While I wouldn't think it's had any negative impact on Switch sales, it's a absolute fact that the Deck can emulate a multitude of games at performance parity or better than the Switch itself. The deck is constantly lauded as an emulation powerhouse and the Switch appears frequently in the discourse.

Emulation legality aside, Nintendo would certainly be the company I would expect to pressure Valve for a case against enabling and abetting piracy given their history of legally attacking perceived "competition".
Genes are effectively biological computer programs.

Do we have locations we haven't build those yet? Is there any concerns about building there? Environmental or existing communities? Where to get the water to fill those? Does that have effect downstream? If it is build on existing rivers, is there some minimum amount of water that has to be passed? Or maximum capacity after water has to be passed?
Our biggest issue with running Cassandra was related to pathological read / write patterns by some tenants on our system causing outsized availability impact due to triggering garbage collection pressure that would cause whole node GC STW pauses and severe tail latency / query degradation.

We have solved these issues in a few ways, mainly:

- working with the relevant product teams to implement appropriate rate limiting or improving data modeling.

- introducing our own query layer, written in Rust that sits in front of Cassandra that uses a form of micro-caching called read coalescing, and also other forms of query throttling/load shedding to reduce work the database must do for hot keys/pathological patterns of access. We expose a GRPC interface from this - and this lets us centralize control of the client driver and tune it appropriately, while also getting to leverage the ever growing open source grpc traffic routing solutions (envoy, etc...)

and ultimately,

- switching to ScyllaDB, a C++ rewrite of Cassandra which is of course void of any garbage collection issues, and features faster overall performance and lower latencies.

Scylla, however, is not without its own set of issues - and somewhat strict hardware requirements[0] thanks to the seastar engine it is built on top of. Their team however has been delightful to work with, and our platform is markedly more stable in current year than it was in years past thanks to the above factors.

Operationally, however, Scylla and Cassandra are quite easy to run, the trickiest part is repairs. Common operations such as cluster expansion, or replacement of node are so common an operation that they are at this point mundane. Be wary however about read/write amplification issues inherent to LSMT databases, choosing the correct compaction strategy and tuning it appropriately can be quite key. Additionally tombstones can be quite bad for performance.

In current day we offer a new more generic solution that sits on top of scylla (it would work with Cassandra too) that provides a simple interface to query KKV based data, without having to worry too much about problems like large partitions, hot keys, or tombstones! With a design like this, the underlying cluster thus far has been issue free and very easy to operate.

<<As her mom didn't want to die in hospital, nobody was willing to sign receipt, not even close personal friends (mind you we don't have opioids crisis in the country, so its not controversial to give them to 92 year old dying). Some folks from closer family or friends even said its fine to suffer before the end, to shorten/skip purgatory, or some similar religious bullshit. One of those times when I hated christianity and its believers more than ever,

I am not a religious person by anyone's description, but the choice here appears to be that of lesser evil. Final wish of a dying person ( along with their ability to govern their life ) here being that she did not want to die in a hospital. Wouldn't 'helping' her die break that wish? And more importantly, what if the dying person is ok with suffering?

<<Thus their moral weakness

It feels like the sentence is emotionally loaded. Is it a moral weakness to follow one's moral compass? I hear what you are saying, but you may want to consider that they do not want to make that decision, because their moral compass marks it as killing someone ( including some earthly jurisdictions ).
Qasuriyyah War in Bahariterra Rages On
In the Bahariterra Islands the ongoing conflict between the Bahariterran government and the extremist hate group, Havkhizara, has costed 8 million dollars and 72 lives as well as catastrophic damage to the important Tourism Industry of Bahariterra. Bahariterra’s president (as of 2021), John Axori, commented that he hopes to end the suffering of the Bahariterra Islanders as soon as possible.

It’s interesting that plant domestication was so widespread, but to me it suggests farming may have been independent of the crops used rather than being independently invented that many times.
Emacs' Avy package has the same functionality for the longest time. I'll share my experience. Lots of people like this way of navigation in the Emacs world. I don't. It takes extra mental energy to navigate like this. You need to:

1. Look at where you want to jump to and scan for suitable search patterns.

2. Do a rough calculation to pick the closest semi-unique pattern.

3. Do the search on the pattern.

4. Go over the labels to see which label is the closest to where you want to go.

5. Pick the label to jump.

I just want some dumb muscle memory to navigate to where I want to go. I don't mind type a few extra keystrokes. I don't want to make all these decisions along the way.
But other than hydro and geothermal do those run 24/7/365? And is the storage in place? Or do they rely on some others to fullfil those? What if that isn't an option lets say middle of desert?
