It feels like being addicted to the best of other people. Its like going out with your friends, and the best moments, the wittys comments, the funniest rant, are distilled into a hour long avalanch. The internet, is just other peoples personality, filtered, distilled and served.

TL, DR; You are addicted to other people, without lasting connections. Shame on you for being a social animal
Ask HN: Is there a license to protect my code and art from AI?
I'm looking for a way to protect my GPL/MPL/other code and CC game artwork against ML that would ingest it to produce other work. The only exception is when someone uses maps to train AI-driven bots - that's fine. So, I'm looking into some standardized way to tell my work is for human use only. Ideally, also in automated way, like prefixing headers with something like /* <NOML> */.
That. I disabled Baloo because it's cache was growing uncontrollably. And Firefox with many opened tabs uses most RAM anyway, in that sense I don't see how much it's the problem of KDE.
Eavesdropping on the Earth itself using a fibre-optic cable
I really doubt the issue is devs. If they don't want to tank their velocity they have to open an issue to fix such problems, which will stay open and never looked at.
> What matters to the business is that the code works.

Yes, but there is a time dimension to "code works". It should work tomorrow when a new OS comes out, and it should work when a library is updated because of a vulnerability, and it should still work when a new feature is added, and it should still work with a 100x more users.

The only way to make sure code still "works" in these situations is to continuously keep modifying it. And here the technical debt comes into play.
If it's not valid, just throw it out!

I've built and licensed a time traveling variant of this model (GGPO style) and spent years with thousands of concurrent users playing my games. And they operated just as I describe.

Company of Heroes is more of a traditional AoE style and will happily queue up unit orders for a minute or more while it attempts to reconnect or catch up.
I still have gnome 42, will update to Gnome 43 soon!
>After all, I have worked for decades to make it possible to write
better, safer, and more efficient C++. In particular, the work on the C++ Core Guidelines specifically aims
at delivering statically guaranteed type-safe and resource-safe C++ for people who need that without
disrupting code bases that can manage without such strong guarantees or introducing additional tool
chains.

After all statistics just isn't on his side. Even the top engineers hired by Google create around 1 memory error every 1000 lines. And they didn't have one yet in 1.5 million lines of Rust [1] This is with all of the analysis tools at their disposal and in use for C++. And most companies can't afford the same top talent that Google can.

I've been working in safety critical software for a long time now. C and C++ will never be safe because their safety model relies on human infallibility. Ada and Rust IMO have the most potential here.

Happy for you. I hope to one day be able to honestly express “this is a good life, and I am experiencing things that were unfathomable when I was younger”.

Care to share any details about how you did it in the context of a website dedicated to an older root of the word hacker than the more modern meaning?
What I mean is that if you enjoy using React, Next.js is your best option in my opinion and from my experience with similar tools (heavy SPA meta-frameworks...). But that's it, it's there for the *frontend* of your application. And the more your application looks like a landing page with a form than a real full stack application, the better it fits.

A lot of problems arise when you want to use it to build a "full stack" application with just Next.js and no "real" backend framework. Many people will tell you Next.js is "full stack" because it can execute JavaScript in the server. For me that's not "full stack"... Maybe when I say "full stack" I'm actually meaning "batteries included" because that's what I need when I'm building a "full stack" application.

For any non trivial application, you'll need things such as authentication, authorization, migrations, orm, background jobs, translations, logging, error reporting, rate limiting, security guards (cors, brute force attacks, etc, etc, etc). Most, if not all of these things come out of the box in real "full stack" frameworks such as Laravel, Django, Rails or Adonis.

A few months ago I had to deal on a Next.js application which needed server side rendering, internationalization and data validation. Making the error messages from the server show correctly and making the i18n library work together with the authentication, the SSR, the half-assed orm/wrappers around prisma, etc.... it... worked... but you end up looking at the code and asking yourself "Why am I doing this?... Adonis.js or Laravel would do it for me already".

Of course some people here will say "but there's a library for each one of those things in the Next.js ecosystem"... yes, but picking the right ones, integrating them so they work in a seamless, secure and battle proven way, keeping it up to date, maintainers abandoning them, trends making them out of fashion, etc, etc it becomes a TON of (business wise) useless work.

So Next.js for the frontend? Great. Next.js for a non-trivial full stack application or for your backend? Sure, but you're not using the right tool, it's like trying to put a screw with a hammer. Might work. Just far from ideal.
Have you ever used Windows Vista?

It is still a mess nowadays, but it has been polished - deduplication for WinSxS, search bar for Registry.
I've always felt they were hideous, but I guess that's a matter of taste. They certainly are consistent, functional and clear, and that's the important part.
The risk of bugs because you forgot to update a setter after changing a field or something like this is way higher than the risk of bugs in Lombok.
Aren't QNX and VxWorks intended for hard RT workloads? I'm not sure the PREEMPT_RT patchset goes that far.

One thing that Linux is doing, albeit only in makeshift, uncoordinated fashion, is making userspace μkernel-like implementation possible for things that used to be exclusive to the kernel. Combine this with full "containerization"/namespacing of all kernel interfaces, live snapshotting and migration of containerized workloads, maybe distributed shared memory allowing for even multiple threads of a single process to be run seamlessly on the same or different nodes with full location independence. This gives you pretty much everything that network-distributed OS's were designed to do in the 1990s, and allows Linux to extend seamlessly from small embedded to datacenter-scale workloads that used to be exclusive to proprietary OS's.
It's more than a large piece of key loops that are compiled. Almost everything is compiled. Python hardly does anything beyond orchestration in modern scientific pipelines. Even loops written in Python can be compiled away.

It's almost like you are coding in a separate language altogether sometimes. E.g. you write something in Cython that gets compiled to C/C++. Same holds for things like numba/LLVM or Jax/XLA. PyTorch is going bigger on compilation in PyTorch 2.0.

Python can be seen as a common interface to write code that can be JIT compiled to multiple backends. It's quite convenient to be able to interact with all these backends, and bring the results back to a universally common interface (NumPy).

From this perspective, scientific Python itself is somewhat evolving by itself into something like Julia, which is JIT compiled to LLVM. Except Python's momentum has generated a huge number of backends for users to choose from.

I'm all for a new language dethroning Python in scientific computing. But I don't think it will be for reasons of speed. I think it'll likely be things like typing (e.g. from Dex lang) or library modularity (e.g. Julia).
It's a big leap from "this isn't the most loved tool" to "dying a slow death". Plenty of companies use TensorFlow, some of them at huge scale, and they're getting stuff done with it just fine.
Let's compare:

The law and order way:

- Pay $$$ for a dozen of separate services, still have a lot of content not available to you

- Be forced into using crappy apps which may or may not be available on your favorite platform

- You could pay for years, but you never own anything - the moment you stop paying, you are left with nothing at all

- Be prepared for your favorite series be yanked from the service in the middle of your watching it because some lawyers didn't agree

- Be shown long idiotic un-skippable ads 4-5 times per hour

- Be unable to share your content with family, at least legally, and often be limited in number of devices allowed to access content

- The content is available only when you are online and with good internet connection

- If the content you're interested in is old or foreign or both - sucks to be you

- Maybe you'll get subtitles. Maybe not. Roll the dice.

- If the company decides the content is "not agreeable with modern sensibilities", they'd just remove it and you have no way to access it anymore

- If you don't know which service owns a particular piece of content, maybe there's a third-party service that knows that. Maybe not. Certainly nobody among content owners cares.

The Arrgh and Jolly Roger way:

- Pay nothing

- No ads ever

- Get access to the content that is convertable to any format known to man and will play on any device

- All the content can be made available offline and ported to any device that can play a video or talk standard media player protocol

- Infinite shareablity to any devices in your household

- You get it once, you have it forever and can store it for as long as you like, for zero cost

- You can get practically any content, no matter how old and what the twitter mob thinks about it

- You can get it translated and with subtitles in many languages, in formats supported by devices from mobile phone to smart TV

- There are many specialized search engines allowing to find any piece of content that exists, and usually it takes minutes, not hours

So, am I open to piracy? Hmm... Tough question.
> they become fulfilled promises with a value of undefined

No they don't, which is why I made that clarification in the post :D

const promise1 = Promise.reject(Error("wow"));

// promise1 is rejected, and unhandled

const promise2 = promise1.catch(() => {});

// promise2 will be fulfilled, and is unhandled

// promise1 is still rejected, but now handled
You always had to tell Futhark about the CUDA include directory at compile-time. The difference is that now you also have to tell it about it at run-time.

Further, at compile-time the usual CPATH/LIBRARY_PATH environment variables are respected, which I think is not the case for the run-time NVRTC compiler.
Old man yelling at clouds because the trees called his C dialect from the 80s unsafe and recommended Java, C#, Swift, Ruby or Go instead, which is a great injustice to his C dialect.
Ok. What's the long term value of farm land? It's going to last forever so it's value should be approaching infinity right?

Or is it based on a 10 year ish payback, with some modifiers for interest rates, the prospect of getting planning permission?

Companies do not think that long term. They are not basing their investment decision on the residuals after 10 years, much less 70

Further what's the point of copyright? Is it to post hoc reward those that have already made successful things? Or is to encourage the creation of new works? If it's the latter, then the value after a year is entirely irrelevant.

Further most new works basically make all their money in the first 12 months. 95% of copyrighted works are basically worthless after 12 months. So again you're just optimising this for a handful of big companies.
Yeah I keep forgetting about that…
Pytorch can be used in a very general purpose way. It's essentially numpy + automatic differentiation + GPU support. All the 'linalg-like layers' are entirely optional. If you write y = A*x+b in pytorch, that works, and is differentiable.
Not true. Right now, I have MacOS Ventura nagging me to update my iCloud password, for the account "(null)". Notifications, System Settings badge, System Setting menu item drawing attention to "update available", all the enchilada.

"defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs" doesn't work anymore.

Bug? Might be. But it happens to achieve the same kind of nagging that Microsoft is famous for; it passes the duck test.
> And anyway, what is “the overarching software community”?

I feel that it's pretty much a consensus in the software security world that C and C++ should be avoided. Not sure why he omitted Rust from the list, it is in the original document, and is pretty much a drop-in replacement for C++. Also using a dynamic language like Ruby for anything secure or safe sounds like a terrible idea.
I love pixel art, used Win 98 as my first OS and still find them ugly as hell. The colors are sad, the perspective is off, and on the first image[1], only 2 icons out of 6 make any sense to me (the trash and the folder). On the second image[2] I understand the wheelchair and the notepad but that's it. These icons aren't inherently easier to understand.

Deterministic multiplayer has an assortment of cheating problems that weren't really a big deal in the early days of online multiplayer, but certainly are now, in the days of ranking systems and very competitive gaming.

The obvious one is that the client knows where everything is on the map, even when hidden by fog-of-war - so client-side hacks can reveal that.

A hacked client can easily desync the game too, or stall it and cause it to time out if the player is losing.
Don't forget training costs, labor costs used for RLHF and (most likely) the money required for such large volumes of training data.
At one point I used to work at a place that had a production process that used several hundred ibm 3480(if I remember correctly) tape cartridges. I would do a LSB radix sort afterwards to get them back in order.

I think back on it with a certain amount of nostalgia now, but it was a stupid way to do operations, even at the time, They had invested big in computers in the 70's and were still maintaining the same tech stack in the early 00's when I worked there.
I can certainly say that anyone who isn’t an idiot has been using 3rd party apps for years. And now they’re all gone from the platform…
Apparently each query requires hundreds of GBs of GPU RAM on several expensive accelerator cards.

Is the H100 deployed at Azure? I wonder how much more efficient that would be over A100s.
Oof, I was hoping you weren't talking and the black bird that did the little hop thing I remember from the cartoons. You were. I didn't remember and probably didn't understand the context of it at the time.
USB - 30Mbyte/sec theoretically for RPI, but in reality somewhere around 20Mbyte/sec

SD cards - class 10 tested on RPI show the same performance 21-27Mbyte/sec

So the issue mostly in throughput performance of the interface
I'm with you. I've had huge stack traces from Django, many many times, without even a hint of my own code in them. I've always assumed it's the extremely "extended" nature of Django - my class extends A which extends B and C, and C extends D, E and F and F uses a G metaclass and so on.
Those enterprises that I mentioned often not only maintain their current workloads on AIX but even add new environments to it. An example: an internal strategy defines that every mission critical application needs to use Oracle or Db2 as its' data store and another strategy says that all Oracle/Db2 workloads need to run on AIX. In companies with such a setup even today new applications are deployed on AIX. Well, the databases for those applications at least ;) New applications indeed only very rarely land there as they usually are hosted on Linux in some VMware environment.
Indeed, only the comments the author wants to promote should be embedded or linked on the page. Otherwise they should come out of band, either as a feature of the browser (or plugin) or another site.
https://itvision.altervista.org/linux-desktop-environments-s... According to this test it uses approximately as much RAM as GNOME and 1GB more than XFCE. I guess on older hardware with 8GB RAM XFCE would make more sense, perhaps even for mobile devices where battery life is a scarce resource.

It almost seems like Elon Musk has forgotten about path dependency, which maybe makes sense since he other companies basically don't require you to think about path dependency, you build a new factory or design a new car or rocket. I think most people agree there's a problem for Twitter as a business that these third party apps exist. These apps sap Twitter's ad revenue, they become an intermediary between Twitter and it's highest value users. What happens, for instance, if one of these apps suddenly start mixing Facebook/Instagram/Mastodon into users feeds? Ouch! Also, it impacts how your new feature roll outs happen. So, you need to own the app that all your customers use.

But you need an actual plan to get people to move from the third party app to the first party. You know, figure out why the third party apps are used, build some equivalent features and lure users back. Instead Elon Musk's plan is just "let's break that". Well ok, but you haven't actually managed to get people to come back to your first party app, you've just broken their experience of twitter. Well done, you've broken twitter for your most valuable users. Do you think, having broken the service with no notice at all, and with no viable app that they want to use, that they're going to use your first party app? No! They're just going to fucking leave! What do you think all those developers who were writing great twitter clients are going to do now? You could have hired them, you could have had them writing great twitter clients for you. No instead, you've forced them all to go off and write clients for your competitors social networks. This move has single handedly created the largest developer community for Mastodon.

So yes, we're finally at the point where Twitter is best used through the first party app. We've achieved that by losing the majority of the high value users that you were worried about on the 3rd party app in the first place.

It's a reply to an open letter by Eugene Lyons titled 'The Terror in Russia' written at a time of peak mass terror.

A bit from Sinclair's reply:

This you describe as "apologetics for mass brutality, official sadism and totalitarian suppression of elementary human rights." These are powerful and all-inclusive words, and I think they fail to allow for the opening of hundreds of thousands of schools and the education of a hundred million illiterate people. I could give a long list of improvements in Russia which I think you fail to allow for in your letter to me. You point out the fact that I have not visited Russia, and suggest that this indicates my "panicky fear of facing the facts."

It hasn't stood the test of time at all, Lyons was right on this point and Sinclair was woefully wrong. Sinclair took another decade or two to recognize this.

He doesn’t refuse feature requests, indeed he completely revised his development process to meet the mission-critical needs of Airbus or Android, just not randos on the Internet. He also followed Mitchell Baker of Mozilla’s advice to keep developers in control of the SQLite foundation.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be moderated, but that moderation would be opt-in and also decentralized. You could pick people/algorithms you trust most to filter your view of the conversation.
I don't get the more native part - you can call a TensorFlow or a PyTorch model and get results from either in Python - what kind of integration are you imagining where the internal implementation of the model makes a difference?
Yes, I remeber when a busy system would show a hour-glass mouse cursor to tell you it's busy, instead of just freezing and not reacting to any clicks. I also remember the title bar "this program is not responding". All gone now.

It's still better than Linux where keys gets "stuck" repeating and the mouse freezes too.
People dislike being reminded of there mortality. And if they need to be reminded (because for example they are sick), they want to seperate this extraordinary state out into something seperate, far away were it can be put out of mind once the "normal" state, aka assumed-immortality returns. Your attempt for continous integration of health care breaks down that barrier.

For you its not a problem, as you are reminded of mortal frailty every day, but for a lot of people that is a scary prospect, they try to yell out there lifes.

Ah, I remember playing Quake death match at night in the late '90s on a university connection, against scores of opponents on dialup. It usually ended with somebody shouting "Everyone, go after that LPB" (Low-ping b**d). Then finally there was some real challenge :)
I don't think they were. They were blaming Disney for ever increasing copyright terms.
Then suggested their own copyright term.

Just because the copyright wasn't (someone's idea of) perfect prior to Disney, doesn't absolve Disney of responsibly when they start shifting the term in entirely the wrong way.
