Yech. Sounds exactly like what you'd expect to happen if subreddits were federated like this. The "mod" role and wielding this kind of petty power over others attracts a certain kind of fragile egomaniac.

Not that it's not a problem on a centralized site either mind you, as the Twitter Files have been revealing.

Windows: Fluent Search. Blown away it's not a part of Windows - https://fluentsearch.net/
I remember that the open-source Virtualbox part is free from any nagware. The closed-source parts are those needed for desktop integration (good screen, clipboard, file sharing, etc), but they are not needed for running a Linux VM with Docker (or some other container runtime BTW).
Sounds like they forgot to cleanup after themselves
What do you think the "more secure" part refer to?
Does it make sense too look into it for high speed data telemetry? Like sending a reasonably sized array of floats 50 times a second, or would there not be enough throughput?
I avoid anything over 12 volts or 15 amps, but I wouldn't call this mind-blowingly dangerous.

Working on Kilowatt amplifiers with 3KV at 1 amp ready to burn you to a crisp, that's dangerous.

In Europe, with 220+ volt lines, I'd have a different opinion.
What do you mean by a polyglot compiler infrastructure? Are you referring to the fact that CUDA source is single-file (your host and device code are in the same compilation unit?) Or do you mean that you can ship the same binary to different GPU architectures?

SYCL solves the first issue, and SPIR-V solves the second one. (OpenCL mostly avoids the issue in general though by making you ship source which is then compiled by the driver, but SPIR-V allows you to ship a 'binary' instead).

No clue as for debugging and IDE tooling, but I did find a rocgdb binary on my Linux ROCm installation (which is for HIP, not SYCL). No clue what oneAPI offers for debugging.

Furthermore, Clang (and hence clangd) speaks HIP and I think SYCL too. So the non-runtime IDE tooling should work.

Finally, a lot of GPU libraries are I think available for ROCm/HIP too. It's unfortunate that the HIP stack sucks enormously in other ways.
"50% chance within the same gender"? What about all the other chromosomes? Wouldn't they have to match too?
I love the concept of a raspberry pi controlled smart home with this type of control panel.
I tell you what will happen. Masses of people will worship it, just like people worship large companies and Tesla. The company will create a nice, lovable mascot for their AI, while it sucks the marrow out of people, but they will not care about it all, because it has an overwhelming smile, therefore it cannot be evil. :D

A committee is formed whose only purpose is to hit the AIs that have become too big with an oversized wrench and kick it back into a madmax style desert, so it can evolve in a different way.
If this prediction is true (I’m skeptical), it could be a boost for personal computing, assuming everyone could run (or rent) such a model, because it then would become easy to design your own software or user interface by merely explaining what you want to the AI.

I don't follow, is it easier to automate a ton of args than to automate a config file? Or better yet, put the config file in the bundle you're distributing, since it probably benefits from the same change management flow?
I was thinking it looked a bit like Milton Keynes. I guess they're similar enough.
Ugh, reminds me of my writing when I was in high school, not in a good way.
I understand how stuff works all the way down, but modern CPUs with register renumbering/coloring are mind breaking, then add JIT to things, there are a lot of tricks being used to make things faster that are beyond my stack depth.
Wouldn't an app be easier/cheaper to provide that just sits in the corner of your normal computer screen and displays the price?

That way you wouldn't need to duplicate all the hardware and software that a separate complete standalone machine would require.

If you start looking at costs for a home-grown separate machine, you'd probably find that a mass-produced computer (maybe one of those el-cheapo laptops) would be more suitable and end up cheaper.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't see how those are very relevant.
That's why LOC doesn't mean anything and I find the latter way more readable except for the fact ruby puts "if" behind for a single liner which isn't really comfortable reading.

They make the (common) mistake of equating “programming” to implementing some algorithms, sure AI probably has down sooner than later. This is a small part of what “programming” has come to be though.

That does not change the interface of the function. Function type compatibility looks at the adjusted parameter types, so the parameter is always treated as a simple pointer. Therefore, all of these declarations could be used to refer to the function:

static void qux(int n, int *a);
static void qux(int n, int a[]);
static void qux(int n, int a[*]);
static void qux(int n, int a[n]);
static void qux(int n, int a[12345]);

Weird interface problems mainly come when you have VLA types behind pointers.
I at least wish for an algorithm that handles this all too common banding issue. We already have formats supporting synthetic film grain (as in the format itself), so how about this? Banding can be taken care of by dithering — a very old technique.

> as long as the copyright term is valid.

No, the whole idea behind copyrights of any term length is to provide and incentive for people to make something new instead of copy someone else’s work. The retort you used, “Keep working if you want to keep making money” applies to people who seek to copy or remix work as much as it applies to people who seek to protect their work from copies or remixes.

I really would love to hear a compelling argument that convinces me, I want a stronger argument for a reduction in term length (and I do think it should be shortened), but this hyperbole isn’t doing it. You’re complaining about rent-seeking, but failing to understand that this isn’t an argument over whether there will be rent-seeking or not. This is an argument about who gets to seek rent, the person who did the creative work, or someone else who ‘borrowed’ the work without adding value. Personally, I’d certainly rather default to giving creators money over copiers, wouldn’t you? Copyright was established to avoid the second kind of rent-seeking, which has historically been a real economic drain.
Growing Reddit (Steve Huffman)
If anything it's rather the start of programming in my opinion, or rather the start of a new era.

We build endless higher level abstractions ontop of each other in programming, this is just another one.

I'm not bullish on AI actually understanding something in the near future and it'll rather continue to be something more akin to mimickery, albeit amazingly expressive and accurate.

I think this is rather going to become an amazing tool to help reduce repeating already solved problems. But humans would still be needed to plumb it together and adjust it to meet some final need.

If the AI can do the whole thing then whatever you're trying to create probably already exists and there's unlikely to be a need for it in my opinion.
> Yikes! Fork failure is the stuff of nightmares

Still have nightmares about a fork that, during a mountain bike descent 30 years ago, started oscillating increasingly until it bent and locked the wheel perpendicular to my vector - and my buddy still has dreams of me acting Superman along his ride, for a few short instants...
while "defrost" quoted wikipedia, a PID controller is used to prevent oscillations in equipment that have changing load. Say a milling machine that slows a bit when the tool interfaces the workpiece, so a "dumb" controller would just increase spindle RPM, but now the spindle is overspeed when the tool is lifted from the surface - say to move to a different area - and so the dumb controller slow the spindle down. Either the spindle is moving too slow or too fast per the work's spec sheet, and you get a piece of metal launched into the innards of the machine somewhere.

The proportional part is similar to a "dumb" controller - spindle slow, speed up spindle. The Integral part will increase the rate at which the spindle changes speed the longer the spindle remains the wrong speed, and the derivative part of the controller attempts to prevent oscillations of spindle speed.
Loved Wox. Try Fluentsearch.
That is 99.5-99.9% of writers. only a handful are ever successful at it. Obviously it ain't easy. Creative writing is among the hardest things in the world to be successful at, because there is no obvious market or audience for it.

I’m mixed on this because I generally like paying for tools but this was too fast (institutional budget year pain) and Docker Mac was characterized by long-running unfixed bugs like high CPU usage. I think they really screwed up their business model and are burning through goodwill trying to recover but I wish they’d tried working with the community.

I mostly use the CLI so I have Podman a try and it took less than a single lunch to completely replace Docker for me. Performance is excellent for ARM, and acceptable for the x86 containers I infrequently use.

John Carmack has a take on it;

Several drawbacks about config files:

+ Another artifact to ship and deploy

+ What file format to use? Obviously different teams will use different formats too. This compounds as you add engineers.

+ How do you find the initial file? Whichever mechanism you use besides hardcoding it is another gateway to configuring the program. It will be used in addition to the config file and compose in weird ways.

I think the limitations of the command line actually make it scalable especially in the Google context.

We can argue about exact implementation, but SRE demanding all apps (assuming non-interactive ones run on servers) log to the same channel (with enough tagging info to ID the app/server) is a good thing. In my case we are automagically configured with a Splunk appender for Logback (and the platform also sends the stdout/stderr to Splunk under a different sourceType).
Since I was at Google 12 years, this doesn't surprise me at all. It's not that there are 1,400 flags in ONE module; it's that all the many systems it includes all have their own. No one looks over that list and says, "Hmm, which of these 1,400 do I need today?"

There's absolutely no reward for scouring the system and getting rid of the 90% of the flags that serve no purpose anymore. All you would do is annoy people and risk breaking something. So no one does it.

In fact, as I recall, you could either "list the flags" for a system, or "list all the flags AND all the included systems' flags." Hardly anyone wants to do the latter.
It's ~5 years for intact satellites to deorbit from Starlink's altitude. Debris will generally have a higher surface area to mass ratio due to the square-cube law, so should experience proportionally higher drag force and deorbit somewhat faster. But the real key is that debris doesn't have to deorbit all the way to stop kessler syndrome, it just has to get a few km down below the orbits of active satellites, which will be much less than 5 years. I believe it would be difficult to trigger Kessler syndrome even intentionally at that altitude.
I'm curious how policing the no smoking is somehow easier than policing littering your cig butt. And so what, are the anti smoking police giving smokers tickets while ignoring actual littering of plastic and pollution cause hey, it's impossible? I don't see the problem as solved. But then again I'm being a bit ignorant of your specific situation.

I would encourage you to get in touch with a reputable custom frame builder and describe your situation and requirements. The local shop I use has been in business for nearly 50 years, and they use components that I can best describe as "tried and true." A bike they built for me in 2014 is something that I can still fully service myself with commonly-available parts and tools.

Meanwhile I damaged a thru-axle of a high-end big-name brand bike (rhymes with "wreck") I bought 2 years ago, and they told me that they no longer stock that part because it's "obsolete" (!)
I’m 100% Dutch. I ride road bikes and commuter bikes. I’ve never in my life seen a steel commuter bike break like that. They rust, they bent and they scratch, but they won’t break. Or maybe if you buy a very iffy brand?

As a road cyclist I go 30-50 km/h with a helmet. And as a commuter I’ll keep a moderate 20 km/h without a helmet. Big difference in terms of kinetic energy.
Because of its inherent memory safety, Java is attractive for anything in the JVM which is not strictly necessary to be coded in C/C++ for some reason (raw performance, low-level, or OS-specific). With Projects Valhalla ann Panama
around the corner, there will be even less hard reasons going forward. Also, C/C++ compilers can be tricky dependencies at times.
Docker containers solve the packaging-for-deployment problems that a ton of people used to have. Were they not solving it, they won't be so predominant.

Docker does handle deduplication on a certain level: every layer is only built once, and shared among all images that use it. This can be strategically used to seriously reduce the summary size of your containers.

Desktop users are not the target audience of Docker, except if you consider running a sham prod configuration on your dev machine desktop use. Containers are intended for the server side, and they are fine there.

Not sharing too much, and plainly embracing the existing chaotic practices of software creation and containing them, so that they don't interfere with each other, is the core value proposition of Docker containers. They do not require you to change your existing key practices at a lower level; your Babel / CMake / pyenv / whatnot setup can remain. But it changes the deployment story of it.

Kinetic energy is still energy, you store it going up hill and reclaim it going down.
Call me cynical, but I have a feeling many people who are militantly anti-AI won't really care about the source of images used to create a data set. For a lot of these people the very concept of AI generated imagery is poison and a threat. Complete luddite nonsense, but those people exist and are often rather loud.
Obligatory mentioning of the fact that recycling is a very local process and not everything ends up in China or in the dump.
Thinking about it like rpm/deb is where you're getting hung up. Think of it more along the lines of npm, but for your OS (or just your profile in the case of nixpkgs+home-manager).

At the most trivial level, you can set up some packages to install [1][2]. You'll generally come out ahead of classical package managers if you do that and nothing else.

Nix also acknowledges the configuration issue. Think of this like copying some config files using a dockerfile. You can either use literals[3], or use the nix language to generate the config [4] (provided that someone has created the required projection from nix to config).

What this ends up becoming is a single git repo with your entire system setup. My repo gets a bit fancier: I have my home desktop (currently Nixos, but it distrohops a lot), my personal laptop running Ubuntu+intune+nixpkgs for work, and then my work Mac machine (which I am aiming to get rid of). The single repo contains nix configs for all 3, and shares config where appropriate.

I really need to write a blog post about Nix in 2023. The main issue with getting started right now is that the installer requires some convincing to use flakes (not to mention that flakes are disabled by default), and you really should be using flakes.

Think of it as cash. If you received $1K of vested RSUs, you have the exact same scenario of getting $1K cash. Would you buy the company stock? If so, keep the RSUs. Would you buy some other company stock, a new phone, whatever? If so, sell the RSUs and put the money to other use. The only other consideration is that if you choose to keep the RSUs, the additional wrinkle is that the stock is typically not fully liquid because you can typically sell only during certain windows during the year.
Waiting for Monty PAIthon, when AI will develop a true sense of humor and we all will laugh about the programming bloopers which it will invent.

But there is also a great danger of the Killer Joke, which results in instant death of anyone, who hears that joke. A malicious AI can re-invent the Killer Joke, and exterminate the humanity.
This feels like... an issue that the author has just imagined, to be honest. Sure, many instances have some sort of theme, but by no means all (the majority of users, I'd think, are on one of the generic ones), and in most cases there's no rule enforcing keeping to the theme.
That's a minimal pay in a field where the job market is kind of in favor of the employees.
> Tesla’s driver-assist technologies, Autopilot and “full self-driving” are already being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration following reports of unexpected braking that occurs “without warning, at random, and often repeatedly in a single drive.”

> The agency has received hundreds of complaints from Tesla drivers. Some have described near crashes and concerns about their safety. This summer NHTSA upgraded the investigation to what it calls an engineering analysis, an indication that it’s seriously considering a recall.

Very curious about how Tesla could continue to justify selling full self driving if NHTSA demanded a recall.
“Young adults need (and should be looking for) character-building independence and freedom. Including and not limited to paying rent on time.”

What a scrooge-like take. Acting as though flinging one’s self into the american capitalist trap is somehow a virtue building endeavor.

It would be interesting what your thoughts are on dumping your parents in a similar “dodgy nursing home” once they aren’t mentally or financially capable anymore. It’s “character-building”, right?

Most other cultures in the world see it as the norm to have multi generational homes. Grandparents can help raise young ones and maintain ethical values (which in the US we basically have lost all sense of).

But sure - making property owners wealthy by picking one’s self up by their bootstraps is probably the moral high ground here.
The metal, yes. What's at stake here seems to be the welding, which is the tricky part with titanium.

Are you saying Jay Miner created Genlock or just that it was forward thinking to include on the Amiga?

I'm not sure I'd agree with either, as I don't recall the Amiga having Genlock abilities at all. Only 3rd party expansion cards gave the Amiga the ability to Genlock to external video sources so that it was in sync with the rest of the house. For proper Genlock, you have to have some sort of input (typically a black video signal) to use as a sync source, and I just don't recall an Amiga natively having any kind on input like that.
As a heavy Fujifilm user I can recommend Capture One. It’s much cheaper than Lightroom and there’s actually free version for Fuji’s raws. I’ve tried many other apps and they all seemed really weak compared to Lightroom. This one is still not as good UX-wise but actually often gives better output that Lightroom itself.

Never heard of people using Photos for RAWs, would love that too.
We only have so much time though, sure I can do a fair bit of home and vehicle repairs but I find it fascinating and only have one kid. My friends with 2-3 kids and no passion for looking under any hood I don’t begrudge them paying somebody to do it.

> If a vehicle is driving itself, who is liable if the vehicle crashes? How is the vehicle insured?

> It is vital to emphasize that drivers will continue to share driving responsibilities for the foreseeable future and must remain engaged and attentive to the driving task and the road ahead with the consumer available technologies today. However, questions about liability and insurance are among many important questions, in addition to technical considerations that, policymakers are working to address before automated driving systems reach their maturity and are available to the public.
Finite element analysis might work well?
I think I agree with Carmack on this. I'm hyper aware of case now, but this was probably the major cause of errors for me when learning (didn't help that tooling was less good then, so there were no linters pointing out my errors).
