Historically Intel has the best Linux open-source drivers, with OpenCL and OpenGL support (unlike AMD ROCM which requires a custom kernel and closed-source components, and the fully closed Nvidia stack).

Unfortunately for ARC they pretty much marketed it solely for gaming applications, where the chip and drivers don't really excel in. Linux support, AV1 encoding, and so on are its strong points, not raw performance. You can argue that those things don't make as much money as the gaming market, but if Intel's beaten by the competition on the performance side they'll need to find another route to sell this.
Kind of the Devil's question, but what would happen if one were to use a model of the size of ChatGPT, keep it on all the time, and have it connect to the Internet and try to make money online?
She provided no benefit or advantage to those in power, the success or failure of Theranos and her personal status had no bearing or effect on the ruling class, therefore she is subject to the same laws and punishments as the rest of us.

SBF, on the other hand, donated a significant amount of the stolen money to politicians of all stripes, and there's (as yet unproven) hints that the overall FTX/Alameda hierarchy of shell corporations may have been involved in other financial shenanigans that would benefit those in power.

We deserved better.

Wireline networks aren't any different, gobs of weird and wonderful protocols in MEF, carrier TE, DOCSIS, etc. Implementation issues drive 90% of the problems described. And don't think for a second that those kinds of issues are unique - all of this happened the same way in IPv4. It just happened so long ago that most either were not around for it, or forgot the pain. that shit box was classful in its original state. The difference now is that a bunch of people can see the sausage getting made and they don't like the ingredients, even though they've likely been eating the sausage for years.
does this support any form of FFI? It'd be nice if users could shim in lightweight APIs that clone libraries like numpy/pytorch -- it'd immediately make some machine learning super portable!
Look at practically every violent revolution by the lower classes - China, Cambodia, Vietnam. Intellectuals, small business owners, what most countries would call the “middle class” were the enemy.

The workers are the people truly suffering. Not getting laid off with a cushy severance package or not being allowed to work from home.

While many on HN see themselves as the oppressed working class I can promise you the lower class don’t see it that way at all. Engineers in Silicon Valley are the rich. Sure not billionaires, but far wealthy beyond what the lower classes could ever imagine.
CHat sometimes works. I like _real_ live chat, not those boxes that pop up where you're most likely talking to a bot and can't get a real person.

If I'm on a company website for tech support, or have problems with an order, I've seen real live chats, where there's a person on the other side, be useful. It's better than, say, abandoning a complicated order, calling in, and seeing if the agent can find you cart, etc.
>In particular, how many dollars does it cost to have null safety

Close to none.

>Just because some dude with a fancy name said so doesn’t mean it’s true.

The dude is responsible for tons of what we take for granted. He is also the one who invented the null pointer, so there's that.

I'd take his expert opinion and experience on the matter over anybody referring to him as "a dude with a fancy name".

He didn't sit to calculate the money in damages from it's use - it was more of a figure of speech and a guess ("probably").

But it's very likely that the prodictivity losses from null errors, the consequences for security, program downtime, and so on, could trivially have costed 1 billion dollar in damages over the years - actually much more.

A single null error in one of the space code responsible from bringing down a NASA mission, could easily cost close to a billion itself.

In fact the memory safety industry (e.g. static analyzers and in memory analyzing tools), safety checks for nulls by consultants, and so on, industry easily has have 1 billion in profits over the last 40 years, so there's that...

"For Dart, we chose the path of sound null safety."

Null Safety is the killer feature of modern programming languages like Swift and Kotlin. It provides a clarity you just can't get otherwise and saves you from runtime errors. And it requires very little additional ceremony to use.
This is quite obvious in games.

I had the most fun in WoW when things weren't known at all, but then thottbott and friends came out and I became the "quest whisperer" in my group. It was even more fun as there was a feeling I didn't miss anything; but then those all got integrated into the game via add ons and then into the game itself, and there was no reading of quest text at all and the fun evaporated.

Puzzle games with a walkthrough are performative; there's not much difference between that and just watching someone, and the latter doesn't have the "aha" satisfaction of finally figuring it out.

But avoiding the walkthroughs and hints may mean you get stuck on part of the game for hours/days/months.

That's exactly how I see it. Everything that is frictionless has been designed that way to either suck your attention or your money. Everything that rewards you in life has always had some modicum of struggle to it, and now that we're all used to convenience, those struggle walls seem much higher than before.

I don't really know how to get out of it. I take ice-cold showers every morning and it's now more or less "easy". Doesn't really feel like a big step though. I guess I just keep going, trying more and more difficult things.
Have you considered Coder? We provision software development environments via Terraform on your own infrastructure for Linux, macOS, Windows, X86, ARM, and of course, Kubernetes.

Our customers include financial institutions, asset management firms, hedge funds, US government agencies, professional services and outsourcing firms, retailers, insurers, software providers, and more who also confirm what you are saying.

We are seeing a move to clouds but only when the cloud is under their control where infrastructure is locked down to meet regulatory and security requirements. One prospect we were speaking with recently signed a multi-year public cloud provider agreement, but shared it will take a couple years for their GitHub Enterprise solution to pass tech risk and information security reviews before developers can even access it...

The author never attempts to communicate they didn't want to transfer the IP. I believe that if the author told Mojang "I don't want to sign this contract, I'll give you a license to use the poem instead." that Notch would have been entirely open to that - after all, that is the deal they had with C418.

Mojang, at a minimum, paid for a license to use the poem in the game. They wanted to have this on paper because it would make the deal with Microsoft easier, but they would have been right about that fact either way. The author, on the other hand, believes they are in a situation where Microsoft has no right to use the End Poem despite the fact they accepted $20k for it.
Mining, Stablecoins and Custody: Regulators Are Coming for Crypto

A Turing Award winner (keeping it anonymous) related a similar story to me about his phd qualifier exam (when I was taking mine). This winner is a theoretical computer scientist who skipped most of his computer hardware courses. Near the time of his graduation, he was informed that he needed to pass a hardware course because it was required for graduation.

He worried; his advisor begged the hw professor to give him an oral exam in place, because he was a promising candidate with a faculty job already lined up and incredible published results.

Unlike Wein, the hw professor was happy to oblige and created a basic oral exam, suspecting that the student was destined for greatness.

The student desperately tried to cram the hw textbook, but his heart was simply not into the subject. He did however, get the main point of the entire field.

This is when the funny part of the story begins. If you know this person, you know that he is remarkably clever, charming and convincing. He tells me that the hw professor had prepared a small number of questions, all beginning with something like, "explain how a XXX works in a YYY architecture", and that he really didn't know any details of XXX.

He started by copying a basic diagram of a processor onto the board.
He kept his answers short, he began each with quizzical look indicating that the question was obvious, and all answers included a remark along the lines of "Obviously, its for performance!" In some cases, while facing the professor, he would point backwards to a spot between components in the diagram. He would slowly move his finger to different areas based on the look on the professor's face.

The hw professor was amused and obviously passed the candidate!

TLDR: don't let classes get in the way of your education.

Null safety means you can't dereference a null pointer. Therefore something like `T | null` is not possible, because `null` doesn't exist. What you'd have instead is an Option or Maybe type and a compiler that requires exhaustive handling of it.
No idea, my app is open source and I do other things at my day job.
Billion dollar mistake? No

But anecdotally I've experienced many null-pointer runtime errors, to the point where I very strongly believe having strict or even half-decent null checking reduces the amount of runtime errors my code produces non-negligibly. I'm sure not everyone has the same experience, but I strongly prefer languages with null safety (AKA marking a type "non-null", and then the compiler makes a good effort to ensure it's not null).
Here's my take: yes, it was a billion dollar mistake. But it wasn't null on its own that was the mistake, it was making it impossible to opt out of. It's incalculable how much that breaks pretty much all of the mental modelling you do about systems. Null safety is the only way to get back to where we want to be.

> If Tony Hoare hadn't made that design choice then somebody else somewhere would have.

Not necessarily. If Hoare had not used null references he might have invented nullables to fill the need and others would have replicated that.

Just getting Covid-19 can lead to Tinnitus. I remember hearing of quite a few people reported getting it after being infected, before there even was a vaccine.

In fact, according to the Cleveland Clinic:

"But on April 29, the American Academy of Audiology, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Academy of Doctors of Audiology issued a statement regarding the matter.

The groups said that based on a recent study conducted by The University of Manchester and Manchester Biomedical Research Centre that was published in the International Journal of Audiology, scientists estimated that 7.6% of people infected with COVID-19 experienced hearing loss, 14.8% suffered from tinnitus and 7.2% reported vertigo. This study also conveyed that there is an urgent need for additional studies regarding the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the auditory system."[1]

So just getting infected by Covid-19 might give you a ~15% chance of getting Tinnitus.

I started having noticeable, permanent Tinnitus myself in September 2019. If it were a few months later I might have thought it was because of Covid-19, but it wasn't. It might have been a side effect to an antibiotic I took a while back (Cipro) that I had a bad reaction to (full body neuropathy after a single pill, lingering neuropathy off and on for a few years after) and some studies suggest could lead to Tinnitus, or because I had to wear headphones at work to block out noise at an open office (fuck open offices, I'll never RTO to those), or something else, hard to say. I got my hearing tested by an ENT doctor six months ago and I don't have any hearing loss, though.

By the way, since you specifically said hearing loss in yours, at least according to this study[2], there's no increased risk of hearing loss following a Covid-19 vaccination.

"Our data suggested no increased risk for SSNHL [sudden sensorineural hearing loss] following any COVID-19 vaccination. In particular, adjusted incidence rate ratios, with 95 percent confidence intervals (95% CI) for the BNT162b2 vaccine’s three doses were 0.8 (95% CI 0.6 to 1.0), 0.9 (95% CI 0.6 to 1.2), and 1.3 (95% CI 0.9 to 2.0). SARS-CoV-2 infection was not associated with an increased incidence of SSNHL either."

Not saying it's impossible yours wasn't caused by the vaccine, but it seems like it's so incredibly rare and Tinnitus can have a bunch of causes (and effects a large number of people eventually) that it's more likely to be coincidence than not.

Regardless of its origin, I'm sorry you're suffering from Tinnitus. I know firsthand that it sucks, and wish there were better treatments for it, because it gets damn annoying, and fucks with your concentration and ability to sleep at times. I hope at some point there's a breakthrough that lets there be some treatment (besides that stupid 'this one trick' on reddit and youtube of thwacking the back of your head with your fingers that relieves it very little for like 30 seconds that everyone keeps passing around as if it were a miracle cure).

Right but if someone stomped in here talking shit about for example javascript's verbose function notation, poor linting tools, and lack of type checker we'd be like what year are you from? We all got burned by that stuff, we all hated it circa 2016, it's all been addressed now. Javascript still has problems but those aren't it and any conversation about it includes that nuance.

Php is in a very similar situation, the difference is you can't escape javascript so we all to some extent keep up with its developments. People who leave php left it at a certain point and their understanding of its issues is frozen there. It's very predictable and boring honestly.

IMO, the "benefits" of tribes just don't nearly outweigh the cons and I have only ever been happier by leaving as many as possible. I can't really say if society benefits from them or not (my guess is no) but on a personal level, I'd say leave any if you realize you're spending significant amounts of time pouring over trivial issues.

I really like these ideas though. Some might find them simple but simple is good. It's _very_ easy to forget things like this while operating in the day to day.
Seems like an easy fix. At least in languages like TypeScript:

I would treat it as closing a $233,333 investment.

Because until the money is in the bank, it's not in the bank.

You will need to close another round in three months.

To put it another way, it's not an ideal deal.

It suggests that the investor doesn't have the financial wherewithal to do a $1.8m deal, e.g. cashflow. Or doesn't have a strong belief...that's why it's not a full commitment.

It might be the best deal you can get. But it will require more energy from you and your team than getting all the money at once would.

Good luck.
