Unless it corrupts the file you're working on.

For me, regardless of the knowledge level of the user, their time and files are priceless. As a result, the device they use should be reliable.

Of course, a faultless system is unimaginable, but I don't think that multi-year uptime our servers afford should be reserved to these higher end systems.

Even Windows is stable enough to be run for years without major problems, excluding the update & reboot cycles. Hence, I think that every user deserves a system which at least has ECC memory.

If we give consumers Machine Check, SMART, thermal monitoring/throttling, Persistent storage (HDD/SSD) error correction and other goodies, we can give them ECC. It should be a non-issue. Having more ECC RAM around will bring the prices down, too.

Gamers will say that ECC will add latency. They can disable it, or maybe industry will evolve to provide non-ECC systems at a premium for that 2% speed advantage.

I'll vote for an enable/disable switch for ECC, though.

Jailing to prevent him to disappear would make sense, but there is no urgency in the sense he likely can't lose another few billions next week.
The problem is that it's not actually a conversation. To significantly improve it, you'd want to:

- identify users by voice

- ask them clarifying questions

- remember the answers on a per-user basis

- understand "no, that was the wrong answer"

If you're going to provide a formal interface to the computer, you also have to provide teaching in that formal interface, which is far more of a burden to the user than the cost of the device. And we've completely moved away from that model (not necessarily a good thing, but that's what the market has chosen).

Hardware or software that does what is desired and doesn’t crash or lose data is a wonderful thing. New might be shiny and it’s usually hard to justify spending a release on debugging but sh*t that just works is a joy. I fear current cars are going to have a lot of dead computer junk in them far sooner than they’re still ok to drive. And I doubt the vendors will care. Got lots of old computer electronics to recycle, and it’s tiring losing home appliances to dead motherboards that can’t handle vibration.
I don't really see the maintenance issue. The rust code seems maintainable and the go code seems to be fairly lightweight overall.
Had you tried Face ID, you would be aware that it requires no visible light. It works in the infrared spectrum and produces the required infrared light independently.

> What we have here is a Rube Goldberg machine, not a cleanly solved engineering problem.

And what _we_ have here is unfounded indignation over a perfectly fine way to solve a problem. People have been using linked libraries to re-use code across languages since forever, it's fine. This solution isn't very different, it just makes shipping easier.

As a parting comment, "sound software architecture" is not a decided upon principle which can be empirically determined, and if it was we'd all be out of a job.

Wow thanks a lot. I wasn't aware of this website. That's a place to spend hundreds of hours :)

They even have printed books covering all their articles...those will make excellent x-mas gifts for some friends of mine.
A lot of the more useful information retrieval tasks involve a feedback loop. If I’m shopping for a product, I may enter a generic term. Then the system sends me images of products matching that term. Then I tell the system which product image is closest to what I want. Then the system sends me reviews of that product. Then I read the reviews and realize this is not what I actually want…repeat until I’m satisfied.

I can’t do this loop with modern voice assistants.

A voice assistant with contextual conversation skills, and access to an “always on” visual monitor (home projector or AR glasses) would definitely increase utility by 10x or more

>Why not ARM then?

Putting aside other advantages (open ISA, free license, ecosystem, no vendor lock-in), there are technical reasons.

RISC-V is simpler. This matters a lot when you already have the complexity of radiation tolerance to put up with. Simplicity also lends itself to high assurance, through verification and formal proofs.

In practice, we see how SiFive and Andes offerings beat ARM's own in performance and power efficiency, with a major area advantage (sometimes less than half!).
I guess you're simply using Stable Diffusion v1.4/1.5, you can improve the quality of the model if you finetuned it on high quality pornographic images, if NovelAI images are sometimes hard to distinguish from actual real images, than you can also do it if you finetuned it.

While you are right in principle, the example with the ECC memory is not really appropriate.

The case with the ECC memory, which has been created by Intel when they have segmented the market between Pentium and Pentium Pro, is an example of a market segmentation technique where the vendor brainwashes the naive part of their customers to believe that they do not need a certain feature and that they might get cheaper products without that feature, but in fact the vendor sells the products with the disabled feature at the same price as before, to the naive customers, while using the fact that they disable the feature wanted by the experienced customers as a means of extortion to force the latter to pay much more money for the non-crippled products.

ECC is a feature that should have been mandatory by law on any computer, at least on all models where the memory is not soldered, but on modules inserted in sockets.

If there is no ECC, that guarantees that the computer will make mistakes from time to time. Even if the consequences of computer errors can have very different costs, depending on the application, nobody needs a computer that will make mistakes.

Even for someone who uses a computer only for games or for watching movies, so that a computer error should have very little importance, the lack of ECC still introduces a very small risk that, if the user is not careful to keep backup copies, some actions like copying some game assets or movies could produce corrupt files.

For someone who uses a computer creatively, the risk of computer errors can become non-negligible.
Today's ZFS (2018)
The thing is even Java’s heyday was far more fragmented than Pascal’s.

Despite what HN suggest sever side programming isn’t that big. Android is currently a major component of it’s position, if you don’t include Android then Java isn’t the most popular language.

Java is practically non existent on client side web, system programming, desktop applications, iOS, scientific computing etc. So only something like 20% of programmers are using Java as their primary language and it might have topped 35% at it’s peak.

Every once in a while I stumble upon a problem and Google for answers where I see people writing in blogs, forums or even github repositories.

Sometimes I've been able to contact these people, but even in as little as 5-8 years they've largely forgotten what it is that they wrote about and vaguely if at all do they remember about the event, even though the emotions, the urgency are perfectly preserved in that blog, forum post or github repo. Then I see github abandonware and nobody responding to the email, and you wonder why they stopped abruptly contributing to this repo.

It always phases me that our consciousness lives in the NOW moment and never the past. And as soon as the NOW moment passes, it becomes an irrelevant thing, superseded by the next NOW moment.

Meh.. I code in Common Lisp at home and Java professionally and I've never understood why people praise the CLOS so much. Like the author says, 99% of the time you don't have a reason to use OOP, and the few times you do you'd prefer to use as little as possible to keep everything sane. It's also one of the few parts of CL which are not optimized well by default, using structs or other basic data structures instead of objects has visible performance benefits in SBCL if you care about that for some reason.

Yes I'm aware of the things you get in CL you don't get in Java: multiple inheritance, defmethod works on arbitrary types by default rather than having to create interfaces, better introspection.. but I don't care. If you're using these features so much there's probably something overly complex with your code to need to do so. Or you're working in such a complex domain you need to, in which case go ahead..

I got into the habit of asking things like "what is the weather like today" every morning before work, it worked fine for months and I quite liked it - while I'm occupied with something else it can give me some useful information. Then one day it started giving me the dictionary definition of the word "weather". That continued for over a week, so I just lost the habit and don't think I've really used it since.

Interfaces are more impactful than you think
It's interesting how interfaces justify their existence and how powerful they are at different zoom levels.

They start small at a component level and scale up to define bigger modules and architecture of the system to finally impact the structure of the entire organization by adopting the inverse Conway's maneuver.

You do. IPFS isn't Freenet, you're not contributing to some global pool of amorphous storage.

It's just like running a webserver, but with content-based addressing, the possibility of having multiple machines provide the same content and much more convenient mirroring than over HTTP.

If you start an IPFS node, it'll remain empty until you upload something, or pin (copy) somebody else's content.

I think your node might also cache requests you make to it for some time, but that's also something that's a result of you asking for it.

Trump was a big enabler for Erdogan, to the point that 2020 election results were broadcasted live all day together with live graphics and stats just as the elections in Turkey as it was viewed as Erdogans last hope if Trump wins again.

Erdogan is destroying my alma mater, his ridiculous economics are having very bad impact on my parents and friends, kids are sent to religious schools in much larger numbers than before which means social problems in the years to coma and the general totalitarian approach of his is something I don’t like enduring.

Complex-Valued Autoencoders for Object Discovery
Right - natural language works for people because we have minds that are communicating. A virtual assistant has a list of things it can do, and uses language as an interface to them. So the language just becomes obfuscation instead of allowing clarification.

I've said before, I would prefer a voice assistant that optimized for traversing its menu system, in response to unambiguous noises (could be high and low pitch hums or whatever) that lets me bypass the guessing game and use the menu it's hiding

Intel and other players offer in-line ECC which interleaves the ECC data with regular data, as such working on regular DRAM configs.

However: in-band ECC is only enabled for Alder Lake on embedded and chromeOS systems. Not available in the SKUs for regular Windows laptop/desktop use.

> when they killed parts of the CPU to match the SKUs they needed to sell

Or that part of the CPU was dead to begin with; every wafer of silicon has some defects, but if these defects hit a part of the chip they can disable, they can avoid wasting a whole chip. Of course, if there's high enough demand for the SKU without that part, and low enough demand for the SKU with that part working, they might kill that part even when it's defect-free.

(Of course, if the part can be enabled "on demand", it means that the disabled part must be working, so they cannot be reusing partially defective chips; it smells like a cash grab.)

Timers and reminders alone are enough to make them a pretty nice thing to have though.

I don't really want them to be all that much more powerful, because natural language can be imprecise, and... there's just not much I that I want to automate in a home setting beyond some real simple timers for lights and stuff.

What if I had a bad day and didn't want to see depressing news? Or what if I came home and was talking on the phone when it turned the news on?

True automation as opposed to just telemetry and remote control can easily be annoying more than helpful.

I like the idea of automation... but I don't actually... automate anything aside from timers and reminders.
That sounds cool; hadn't heard of it. The web searches I've just tried to look for technical details yielded not much; are there any extant open specs?
