Just about anything GTK-based. GNOME takes minimalism too far but is undeniably polished, but Cinnamon and XFCE get much closer to a balance between good UI/UX and configurability.
Worrying is only worthwhile if there is something you can do about it. I don't think there is anything most people can do to avoid the wave of human replacement that near term AI is going to cause. The best most people could manage would be to develop better philosophies and perspectives to cope with their irrelevance.
Ask HN: Do you or someone you know give money to your parents?
I've been trying to find tax / life advice about giving money to parents and I've been unable to do so. Every year or two I give my parents about $10-15k. This year I'm giving them $30k and I'm unable to find any relevant details about this.

Does anyone else give money to their folks? Is there any guidance on how to do this? I'm writing a check but in the past have done cash, but I find it all very inconvenient and confusing for tax purposes.

Thanks
Okay, so this prompted me to look at Big Webmaster tools. It looks like they recognise my sitemap file, but haven't bothered to index it in nearly a decade. "Last processed: 6/6/2014". I know I don't post new content that frequently but... WTF?

Show HN: Hlb-CIFAR10 0.2.0: New world record (~<12.38s) on single-GPU CIFAR10
Hello everyone,

After recreating the accuracy/rough speed from David Page's implementation in hlb-CIFAR10 0.1.0 (18.1s on an A100, SXM4, Colab), it was down to some basic NVIDIA kernel profiling to figure out which operations were the long poles in the tent. Perhaps (somewhat?) unsurprisingly, the NCHW <-> NHWC thrash was the worst part, but unfortunately the GhostBatchNorm was a barrier even using the faster-on-Ampere channels_last memory format.

A quick note before continuing -- some may find the use of a convolutional network and on CIFAR10 to be curious. A quick answer to that would be that in doing the research that optimizes well-known problems (especially if the testing path is incredibly rapid), we get much clearer pictures of what certain fundamental information learning limits are for systems like this, as well as stable prototypes that can then be translated (potentially somewhat analogously) into other modalities. You can see this practice with a few researchers, Hinton comes to mind though his work is much more fundamental and experimental than this is. Back to the release notes.

Ultimately, however, we were able to get a similar level of regularization to the original GhostBatchNorm (called GhostNorm) in the code, which allowed us to remove it and a bunch of tensor allocation/contiguous tensor calls, saving us nearly exactly 5 seconds or so (!!!!).

Replacing the call for nn.AdaptiveMaxPooling(1,1) with a torch.amax(dim=2,3), added an additional .5 seconds off the clock, bringing us down below Thomas Germer (@99991)'s excellently quick implementation of the same base method (https://github.com/99991/cifar10-fast-simple) and giving us the new world record.

This work is pretty simple on its own -- though the various ways to use the nvidia profiler(s) can be very daunting to use and I can post snippets of the simplest way that I've found (via the torch.profiler route) if someone asks/is curious. That said, looking at kernel execution order and times can really and truly do a lot to quickly improve a network in conjunction with good research engineering practices.

This is what I'm pretty good at doing so getting to flex a bit on a spare time project is fun. I'm consistently storing up time saves into a draft bin of sorts and plan on keeping releasing them in related/clustered releases as I'm able to appropriately polish them to whatever their capabilities seem to be. There is a lot of room to grow, and I think we now definitely have a good chance at making it within that 94% accuracy under ~<2s mark within a few years!

This work is meant to be a living resume for me, feel free to check out my README.md for more info. I love a lot of aspects of the technical/nitty gritty side of the fusion of neural network engineering and the edge of research, particularly when it comes to speed, so this is my strong area. I'm certainly happy to answer whatever reasonable questions anyone might have, let me help with getting this project going for you (or other related stuff -- feel free to ask! <3 :)))) )
> So they're adding the ability to connect from bluetooth with this. In the same way before Sony added driver support to Dualshock controllers on PC, you couldn't use them wirelessly.

I only use it on Linux, and I suspect Sony didn't contribute the driver I use. Actually, I don't think PS4 controllers work wired at all, I believe they always use bluetooth and the wire is only for charging. AFAIK anyway.

Very odd that they decided to use wifi instead of bluetooth initially. Between this and the time they spent writing yet another file transfer tool, I'm getting the impression that Stadia was a very unfocused project, trying to do things differently (resume driven development?) when they should have been using off-the-shelf solutions and standard approaches for everything possible.
Fun fact: I ordered a Stadia "founder's edition" at launch for actual money, an order which Google later cancelled unilaterally. A couple weeks/months later, they emailed me a promo offering a similar kit for free (just pay shipping).

I've no idea why they didn't make money and had to shut down.
If you interpret caditinpiscinam‘s comment so uncharitably that you think they really think public transit really can cost zero dollars to anyone, you probably have a very frustrating time interacting with others.

They very clearly meant “you don’t have to pay at time of use, it’s paid by tax dollars”, and nearly everyone who reads that comment would interpret it that way. There’s no reason to pick the dumbest, most braindead interpretations of such comments just to make yourself feel smart. You could have just thought “they probably mean taxpayer-paid” and then moved on.
The lag on Worm Game is terrible. I've been playing PUBG on Stadia all day with zero lag.
Seems off-topic for HN anyway.
I don't think replacing the root FS with a database is a good idea. There are two options here:

1. Make it a database with schemas. In that case, you'll never be able to change or extend the language used to define schemas, since every application and OS will need to keep supporting older versions. It will also be hard to have multiple competing implementations of a complete database system, particularly because applications will come to rely on the performance characteristics of the reference implementation.

2. Make it schemaless, like a key-value store. That basically just is the file system, but non-heirarchical and with a faster implementation. In that case, your DB could just be a faster implementation of the existing filesystem interface or a natural extension thereof. The hierarchical nature of the filesystem is fairly essential if you want to allow multiple applications to avoid trampling on each other.
That's a fair point. Sometimes I go the opposite extreme. If every site is asking to send me notifications, I'll turn it off globally.

Sites shouldn't be asking for permissions that don't really need, and users should default to "no" instead of yes, but these are orthogonal problems.

Browsers could batch them up. One dialog that lists what permissions the site wants with checkboxes next to each of them to agree.

There really is no way around that for file system access. Users must consent and consent to a small subset of files, or the whole thing is effed.
Why and how?

Edit:

1.What will be the second and higher order consequences? See the student loan crisis and ballooning costs of higher Ed due to admin bloat.

2. Is it fair in a society with more free basics to require more responsibility from the public?

3. It is easy and popular to mandate feel good stuff than reason about that mandate.
I saw that vuln categorized as “RCE” and had the same reaction. IIRC it was prototype pollution in an npm package during json deserialization - if you are letting attackers define javascript functions in your nodejs process, you have almost certainly already lost. The details were vague at the time so I had hoped I was just missing context.
Exactly. The model only produces copyright protected material when the operator of the model directs the sampler towards the part of the latent space that contains that material.

The user is liable. The user is also liable for using a photocopier to create and sell copies of someone else’s work. Anyone can photocopy anything they want and plaster their own walls with that work. In all cases the manufacturer of the photocopier is not liable…

Now, if these tools consistently plagued users with being liable for copyright violations then these tools become more trouble than they are worth.

Fine then. Say I went through Star Wars and counted how many blue pixels there were in each frame and published a list of the counts. Would you claim that list would be infringing?

that is what I wish I knew. If I knew, I could help "solve" it. but somehow it is just so hard.
This (along with several others) is linked at the top of the article.
My interpretation was more along the lines of 'perfect is the enemy of good' enough. Though I suppose both could be applied here.
A multi core one, with lockless data structures.
Gorgeous. I'm not versed well enough in the theory to validate his code, but I know enough to see where he's going with this.

As an aside, there's a lot of rightful complaining about the interview process. I've been on both sides and it sucks either way.

As a hiring manager for a small company, we never had the 'process' that bigger companies have, so it was always a seat of the pants decision. Not my favourite thing to do.

As an interviewee, I've struggled with people's favourite questions, you know the ones that you ask so much that it starts sounding like an easy question in your head?... I'm productive, I ship software but interviewing is so incredibly stressful and always makes me feel like I don't know much.

Anyhow, if I was interviewing the OP for a typical web app CRUD position or monolith to micro services refactor or some other common role, I'd think twice. Clearly he's very smart. Is he able to "deliver value" vs optimizing code? I know the post was tongue in cheek, but in the real interview setting you gotta demonstrate how you're a smart team player and allude to your capabilities. It's kinda like dating I guess. You can't show how much of a real person you're on the first date.
I think it has something to do with creators needing to, like, eat and protect themselves from the rain.
Likely meant to be lifting instances of Semigroup and Monoid through Dual:

newtype Dual a = Dual {getDual :: a}

instance Semigroup s => Semigroup (Dual s) where
(Dual a) <> (Dual b) = Dual (b <> a)

instance Monoid m => Monoid (Dual m) where
mempty = Dual (mempty)
> Copyright requires permission to produce derivative works.

This then would put the responsibility on the creator, not the software. If I use a prompt "Mickey Mouse fighting Thanos" then the images produced are clearly derivative. But is this fair use? There's plenty of fan art out there like that. In fact, I typed that string into google and got fan artwork of Mickey as Thanos and the infinity stones are different media centers that Disney controls[0]. Making the image quite a high quality parity. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't feel like this image should be illegal. If so, doesn't that make this conversation far more complex than what you're writing here? I'd agree if I was trying to sell pictures of Mickey Mouse and claim to be Disney (and that there was no case for parody), but this does seem like a really hard line to draw and I don't think people are being honest about that.

Same with a Kia Niro EV I had, which is on a shared platform with the Kona. I think it was 239 miles EPA rated, in the summer it was quite easy to exceed. I don't have a lead foot and drive pretty efficiently though.

Great car, good space, level 2 driver assists and very efficient which offset the slow DC charge speed. Relatively lightweight for an EV at 3800lbs as well.
Cars should be smart enough to automatically adapt the allowed driving style to their surroundings. There is no reason why cars should be able to accelerate at maximum torque on normal city roads. Or go their max speed.
When 1% (~4M) of the country owns 32% of the wealth, you can either target them for taxes. OR you can go after the 160M people in the Middle/Upper 40% to get the 26% of the wealth... Last option, as a compromise you can go over the top 10% (40M) for 72% of the wealth.

Now, I'm a simple IRS person, but I want to maximize taxes garnered for time spent. This is such a stupidly easy equation.

Pretending that taxing the rich for all they've got is less effective than taxing the upper/middle class, is just absolute BS, and is easily proved false.
It’s not a shadow ban if you can easily see that you’ve been banned.

The point of a shadow ban is for the banned user to not notice.

This sounds like a regular old ban/blocklist.

I don't personally think it's realistic to expect everybody/all people (who mainly work for a living/work hard) to ask them to give up the luxury of spending their hard earned money on being able to transport themselves (to and from their job) in something other than the comfort of their own car. I think you're suggesting "we should all be doing public transport, it's more efficient."

You aren't wrong, but there's a human/emotional element/aspect here.
Interesting that you mentioned GNOME because it was only a couple of years later that GNOME 3 was released and that was a far more significant change to the UX than KDE 3 to 4. Around that time there seemed to be a lot of changes to the FOSS DE landscape.

I’ve not used XFCE in 10 or 15 years but I always had a good experience when I did need it. In fact I preferred that over GNOME too. Completely just my personal preference, though the leaner footprint was a big incentive.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. All this stuff basically boils down to personal preferences at the end of the day, but it’s often interesting hearing what peoples preferences are.
No, `sudo su -` gives you a shell resembling one you would get when logging in interactively as root, while `sudo -i` applies some of its configuration. Which is not always well suited for interactive uses to put it lightly. For example PATH is set to something smaller than I would like.
I don't understand how there still isn't a good answer for this. It seems like such an obvious need, and for years I've heard go being promoted for solving this problem. I get why Python didn't start out with an answer for this, but in an era of 20 TB hard drives, I'm more than willing to burn space for ease of install.

The controller communicated directly with Stadia, avoiding the latency of having to push it through your machine's input stack and only then sending it to the servers.

I don't think it was your other reasons. You could use other controllers on stadia- they even made it a selling point that the only thing you had to buy was the game. And when connected via USB stadia controllers worked fine with Steam games (at least on Linux).

Another possible reason is that it wasn't seen as a high enough priority compared to other things they wanted to do.

Perfect timing. I’m moving and just fished my stadia controllers out of the donate box after reading this - another day and they would have been gone. They’re decent controllers, so it’s nice they haven’t become yet more e-waste.

Next question is how good the Bluetooth chip is. The range of speeds even for the latest chips is vast. Since the controllers only used Bluetooth for setup, Google could have opted for a less powerful chip to lower the BOM and they might end up not being particularly useful for games over BT.
Most likely people reselling MSDN licenses (I think it's now called Visual Studio subscriptions). These are licenses meant for testing only (though entirely valid). Pretty sure you are not authorised to sell them and certainly not to use them in production.

People either buy a VS subscription then resell the licenses piecemeal (costs about $1000, and you get 10 license keys for each product, so probably profitable), or they got a subscription from their day job and sell the licenses.
I can fill up the gas car quickly almost anywhere if I'm running low on fuel.

Also, survival time in a stuck ICE in Winter is much higher.
That article seems a bit misleading. I have to think the impact of cold weather on an ICE vehicle is highly variable on other factors. It certainly wasn't quite so bad when I was growing up in Canada, and most of the variance was attributable to differences in winter vs. summer fuel mixes.

Most of the effects it describes are only in effect while the car is warming up, and given that say, engine oil typically warms up to around 70C when operating, it's hard to believe that the difference between starting at say -10C vs 20C is really going to add up for anything more than a VERY short drive (one that, if you cared about fuel economy or environmental impact, you'd probably just make on foot).

Sure, if you have electric seat warmers and the like, that could add up, but one of the "advantages" of an ICE car is their inefficiency leads to lots of waste heat, so they can keep the car cabin warm just from that, without needing to use electric heaters at all (keeping the interior cabin warm is one of the primary factors that sucks up EV range in cold weather).
Yeah. I do. Just like I don't expect to pay for my firefighter and I don't expect to pay the actual cost of implanting internet and electricity wiring in the street. I don't expect to pay the salary of the science, math, literature, etc. teachers, not even the school nurse.

In fact when it comes to schools I am the someone else paying for it, because my children aren't in every school at all times. And I'm fine with it.

I frankly find this attitude that social benefits should be pushed back on because not everyone is partaking in the social benefit at the same time to be frankly hypocritical to communicate on the internet, a technology I certainly didn't pay the salaries of the mathematicians and engineers for.

The PlayStation controller driver was contributed to the Linux kernel by Sony: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Sony-HID-PlayStation-PS5

There are alternative drivers out there (for use with knockoff controllers that try to replicate the offical device IDs, for example), but if you haven't done anything special you're probably using the Sony driver.

Hash yes, fingerprint maybe no. Maybe I'm using the term incorrectly here, but I think of fingerprint like a lossy hash. Like one way of doing this would be to resize the image to, say, 8 by 8, and quantize it to say, 16 colors. So the fingerprint size is 884 bits=32 bytes. Tiny changes aren't likely to change the fingerprint. You'd probably have to do something a little more clever so as not to get too many false positives though. Or once you get a hit, do a deeper comparison.
