Better to have hundreds, or * gasp * thousands of engineers having to fix local package dependency problems on their computers every other day. Much better than those engineers having to keep that gigantic context loaded in their mind so that they fix those local problems.

That effort spent for maintaining local environments and navigating the package management hell is effort not being spent on creating actual code.

So, so many. Linux is a good example. Linus has talked about how he was able to spend a lot of time on getting Linux off the ground because back in the 80s and 90s, study allowances in Finland were very, very generous. Took him like 8 years to graduate, and during that time he didn't have to worry at all about finding a job to pay rent and buy food.
These days, the system is similar, but they do monitor your progress more closely and will cut off the allowance if you don't progress in your studies. (ask me how I know :P)
I ended up abandoning my email inbox, I don't read it. It's a dumpster that I occasionally go fishing in when I need something specific.

Subscriptions are exhausting, I am slowly moving more and more stuff to self hosting. I bought an office desktop with 16G of ram for it. I don't mind paying for quality software, I a just feel done with subscriptions and how it results in the UI of the software constantly changing so that you have to relearn how to do basic things all the time.
That's production. We were talking about global reserves. Which hasn't even doubled in 10 years.

I think there are still some limits applied even on cutting edge hardware. GitHub previously said they hit network limitations cloning their multi-gb repo for instance.
My old LG 27UD88 switches in about 1 second when pressing the relevant hotkey in Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/)

It’s not instant but input switching through DDC is the fastest possible method.

That’s because the input that will be switched to is already connected and receiving video in the background, skipping the HDMI/DP protocol handshake and going straight into rendering the new video on the screen.
Here's the thing: sometimes focus itself is the first step towards any progress, which serves as a toe-hold which can branch out from the most seemingly silly exercises to what you really feel is a priority.

I say this considering a friend who once lamented the early space program was a waste of money, as he wore his advanced polymer clothing at work on microprocessors and GPS satellite and RF communication advances.

It felt pretty ironic.
There are probably many ways to do one thing. I love XP primarily for the box of procedures and tools. Which is the contrast to jugaad where there are no methods or tools.
I'm just sick of the phrase "forever chemicals" because everyone who uses it sounds like they're dumbing their message down for us. We have mortgages, we can handle grownup words.

yeah I think also that with macbook the display is constantly sending video to the display (as there is no way to disable extenral displays).
Corporations often trade off the efficiency of many small things, even pervasive things, for overall greater effectiveness.

It can be frustrating for workers and customers, and it’s not always a trade that pays off, but it works enough for many companies to be both chronically inefficient and successful.

Leadership optimizes for effective control toward increasing total income. They don’t worry about waste that could be a distraction to eliminate, create unpredictability for small payoffs, or if it’s offset (in their view) by greater income.
Heh, this is an interesting perspective and Im realizing some assumptions Ive come to rely on.

When designing a system or writing code, my instinct is to write it in a way that makes it clear, easy to work with and change down the road, because Ive seen code that is not structured this way and working with it is hell. I consider myself somewhat lucky to have worked in teams that allow for this.

If however I wasn’t fortunate enough, or just not paid enough even, or the work culture didn’t exist or was purely transactional, I would likely change my approach to fit that situation.
In theory you could have a monitor that handles both signals all the time, buffering the output. Then it could switch immediately.

It would however be more expensive, since you would need to duplicate at least some of the electronics within the monitor, a few of which also incur licensing/certification/patent/whatever fees.

Which is, I think, an excellent reminder to not be dogmatic about software delivery. Many projects never start (and hence much value isn't generated) because of theoretical disputes about how/how much/what analysis should pretext development, which development style and which tools and frameworks should be used.
as an layperson's example[0], https://incredible.pm is WIMP, but the structured interaction interface of https://profs.info.uaic.ro/~stefan.ciobaca/lnd.html is far easier to drive (and could've been keyboard driven) once one understands how to do so.

Btw, it would be a bane of aluminum producers if they had to find safe ways to dispose of it, instead they get to sell it to utilities.

P-22 had multiple skull fractures and ruptured internal organs from an automobile collision, whose driver reported the accident, days earlier. I read that earlier today...which is of course terribly sad.

Technically you aren’t appropriating but stereotyping (as a sibling points out) which is something that’s generally frowned upon today.

It’s really gardening leave, because you don’t have a contract. They decided to pay you without requiring work; they can change their minds.

In a union job or banking gig where you have a contract, this doesn’t happen. The law in the US doesn’t protect you from this sort of thing. Sometimes they can run afoul of state law though.

Wow, I totally misunderstood your point. I'm sorry.

I wish, but that's not how people work. In five years there'll be a new craze. Maybe a self-programming computer, the latest fruit of AI, and underneath it'll actually be a pyramid scheme combined with a federated Mechanical Turk service.
I've never worked someplace that paid criminals to do anything, and I'd resign before I did it. For one thing, who knows what my personal liability is. Much more importantly, it's plainly the wrong thing to do, and my society and community are in my hands as much as anyone else's.

Calling him the most interesting is incredibly subjective. I don’t think he knows any such thing. He seems wildly insecure. Even more than me
I've actually seen this paper before, but I don't think it's helpful. If the entire GitHub is 100B tokens and your prune it down properly, then fine, you can get equal performance with fewer tokes. However, if you want improved performance, you still need more data, not just a larger model size, and that's hard to obtain. I don't think it's a lost cause and we will be be stuck with current performance by any means though - there are other ways to go.
What you can do is copy those onto different media to make a mixed tape to give to your high school girlfriend.

Or back them up on your computer.

You’re conflating the physical media with the umm, non-physical media.
It's not just Ukraine in the balance, but most people don't even know about the silent war still happening 30 years on between Moldova and Russian backed separatist republic of Transnistria[1] which hosts 1500 Russian troops.

The absurd thing is that Transnistria was never part of Russian territories to begin with.

Hopefully we'll see a swift Russian defeat so that other countries can finally enjoy peace.

Better have 20 projects get a grant of $50.000 than one project getting $1.000.000.

It's a way of not putting all the eggs in one basket.
What's impossible about it? I've seen devices in the past that can combine multiple HDMI signals into a single image (like picture-in-picture, or making one high-res display out of several lower-res video connections). And if you can do that, surely you can do instant switching just by toggling between "full screen input 1" and "full screen input 2" layouts.
The McRib has nothing to do with artificial scarcity. It’s availability is driven by pork prices.
There is both a Dune TV series and Children of Dune TV series. Both much better than the Villeneuve movie.
My father, a high school teacher, has some absurd >1000 day sick day balance right now. He keeps putting off retirement for some unknown reason despite complaining about how terrible the system is, and a common response from my siblings is "maybe you should just be sick for three years…"

I suspect this varies by state, but the idea that sick leave for teachers is lacking has never been a common theme for any of the teachers in my family.
Projection onto a subontology and providing a formal way (much like a bureaucratic form) to enter data both sound suspiciously like the role of an ontology is to provide a means of going back and forth between intensions and extensions.

Doesn't have to be an email. He can tell them in person. I am sure after all the layoffs he has found some engineers that are obedient/scared enough.
Glad to hear you plan to keep the podcast going, it's practically an institution. Growing up in rural Australia, your shows were one of the only connections I had to technology education, and you were the only one making it look fun and exciting! I used to spend hours watching TechTV (when perhaps I should have been at school even). Technology has become my career, and I can fairly say you were a big part of how I got here. So thank you for that, Leo and I am glad to hear the show will go on.

Long before devpods (circa 2014) we had boxer, which was a command line tool that abstracted away the nitty gritty details of setting up a dev environment by orchestrating calls to AWS, vagrant, puppet, rsync, etc for you. However this was also a time when there were only a handful of services you would need to run, and because remote editing tools at the time weren’t as nice as they are now, it only worked really well if your preferred editor was vim/emacs so you didn’t have to deal with the (occasionally buggy) remote file syncing.

The devpod flow is a lot smoother. I had my laptop replaced recently and was up it running again in an amount of time that felt like cheating.
Movie that cost 165 million having a 100 million us box office surely looks like good numbers.

Ask HN: Why couldn’t Reddit replace Twitter?
A legitimate question.

Celebrities and every day people are notorious for making appearances in Reddit through AMAs.

Reddit is a great community already.

What’s wrong with either a spin-off feed where you can see content from people rather than communities or something similar?
> don't expect a crappy microphone to turn into a good microphone

It's the same as with photos. If your raw material is bad, no tool on earth can make it good.
Thanks very much! It was a great time.
It is easier to make the "j" said for "rejex". The "g" sound is more effortful (it is "made" more in the back of the mouth, compared to "j"). Laziness wins the day again on pronunciation xD

Twitter should 'steal' support for ActivityPub.

That is, join the fediverse. Stop being a walled garden. That seems passé now that we have millions of people able to follow, @-mention and reply from one domain to another.

Twitter's business model is already completely chucked and will need a ground-up rethink, so we might as well build from this more modern starting point.
So what has changed between the versions?
You'll need a fancy KVM switch that does more than merely acting much like a physical switch would.

Something like this should probably work:

Edit: The one above is merely the first one I found, not a recommendation.

Be aware that such things may incur extra latency, since it's not just passing signals through, but rather processing them and repackaging them.

The question is: do we have enough minerals to switch to a solar/wind plus batteries energy system as a species? There is a controversial report from a mining professor who says the answer is 'not even close'. https://tupa.gtk.fi/raportti/arkisto/42_2021.pdf
Why would you buffer? Monitors are capable of playing full-screen video, which implies the ability to update every pixel once per... 30hz? frame, doesn't it?
Ah, yeah. My BE work is almost exclusively inside containers, where journald is not available.

(We could perhaps arrange that, but JSON-lines is typically good enough, and easier for devs to understand.)

(Note that the KV stuff requires you to speak journald's protocol: syslog in systemd (and really, everything I've ever seen speak syslog) is the old BSD syslog protocol, which doesn't support KV data. Not that journald's protocol is particularly hard to speak.)

You're looking at it from the vantage point of "the future". For some span of time, "plastic never degrades". Then someone discovers something new, and after that plastic degradation becomes possible (though not widespread).

What we know changes.
IMO it's a too long video that should instead focus on explaining why "play to earn" doesn't work and can't work sustainably, regardless of whether it's from Logan Paul or someone else. Then it'll remain just as fresh for debunking the next scam.

Do you set high standards for yourself?

I am much quicker at minor household repairs than my spouse, whose father emphasised that everything must be done with millimetre precision, because I am satisfied to work to centimetre precision: the worst that can happen is that the dogfood tastes bad, and then I redo it a little more carefully.

The software analogy is that a few times ("launch_missiles()") we need to be very sure that all preconditions are met (indeed, had been determined at compile time) before each and every invocation, but just about all other times we save a lot of compute by assuming the happy path, and aborting to a relatively more expensive fixup routine in the rare cases it should become necessary (in the rare cases we determine the postconditions have not been assured).
Fusion would be trying to compete with imported fuel, just as fission fails to achieve today except where massively subsidized. In the nearish future, that fuel will be synthetic, likely ammonia, produced at solar farms in the tropics, or at wind farms nearer by.

Of course in places where transmission lines are practical, power will be imported that way instead.

No one will ever be able to maintain a cartel on the synthetic fuel supply.
Because when you want instant switching you need to already have the data you want to display available the moment someone flips the switch.

You can't just tell the computer that you're now interested in the display data of the other display - that would incur latency.

You'll have to be receiving the information for the second display the entire time, storing it in what is commonly called a framebuffer, aka a bitmap in memory somewhere.

Most types of display have such a thing backing them anyways - one way or another - since they need to remember what they're supposed to display.
Really? Just as a litmus test, the last movie I pirated was a 10bit 4k rip of "The Matrix" which comes in at about 40gigs. This is about the level of quality I'm looking for in a file I buy, sorry if I was misleading w/ my mention of DVD. Practically speaking this is similar to having a *.flac of a song, as it enables me to transcode to lower quality versions for use on different devices from a high quality master. Is this something I can pay for?

> If B-1 is a square number (4,9,16,...) then the square root of B-1 will also have this property.

In fact, if d is any divisor of B-1 (including a trivial divisor), then d will have this property. (The author of the proof on the page you linked to is aware of this, but the author of the original conjecture isn't. For example, the reply notes that the digital root test for divisibility in hexadecimal works for 3 or 5, which are divisors of 16-1=15, regardless of the fact that 15 isn't a square. It also works for 1 or 15, which are also divisors of 15.)

Another plausible interpretation of him redoing the poll is that it wasn't the results he wanted. He has lied enough in the past that I do not extend him the benefit of the doubt.

I suspect there is a tiny CPU inside the monitor that looks at a variety of things before deciding how to decode the signal and present it. As @alin23 notes, DDC protocol is also handled. Obviously the manufacturers are using the lowest cost BOM that they can get away with and that would probably mean a $1 microprocessor in charge of the "smarts".
Why are you speaking as if this is some weird future state that doesn't exist and has lots of unknown downsides? This is the current state in some companies. I work in this flow daily and really appreciate the value it delivers.
