I understand the link's author got mesa3d working.

But to do so, they used git head mesa3d, experimental kernel patches to get the kernel part working, and firmware blobs they took from the proprietary driver.

We'll have to wait a little more, but will get system images with all of that already working. Eventually, it'll all be upstream.

It helps that large amounts of these boards (more than every RISC-V SBC before, combined) are getting to developers. This was the whole point of the boards after all.
I just tried it. Jan 9 version. Got the same response as OP. I included the question about tennis balls first, wondering if that makes a difference.

EDIT: tried on a fresh conversation and it guessed correctly. Interesting.
Too many heads.
Problems were resolved and everyone was professional, but there certainly was more friction than necessary.

Usually management doesn't want to participate in these discussions, because they are more careful about retention (and stepping on toes). 1 engineer quitting is a 10% reduction in their workforce.
It's very unlikely it was ever used - among other reasons it would be way too expensive for something as simple as fries (chips).
It’s hard not to invoke Godwin’s Law at this point.

To me it seems self evident and non-controversial to all but the sneeriest of intellectuals, that some people are just bad.
Definitely not that good in creating faces < 10% of photo size, yet.
None of that matters. The room has 19 chairs. The answer is 19.
It really depends on what you mean. Anxiety is something that is really contextual and depends on the person, unfortunately I don't have a great deal to offer on the subject.

Speaking as an introvert, I came across an interesting piece of advice from Ken Jennings, a record holding Jeopardy contestant. He basically talked about how trivia could be used in a practical sense to open conversational doors. By having a great of knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, there is almost a certainty that you'll be able to connect with a stranger, at least at some nominal level.

People love being asked about themselves, and if you know something about a hobby that they're passionate about, you can ask more poignant questions.

For example, if somebody tells me the that they're into juggling, I can ask them about the kinds of patterns that they like to do, mills mess, cascade, etc.

If they're into aviation, I can ask if they prefer flying high or low wing aircraft, playfully quiz them on METAR, and commiserate on how paralyzingly hard it was to be talking to a towered airport for the first time.

If they're into music, we can discuss harmonic theory, instrumental technique, and our favorite musicians.

And so on. It takes a conscious and deliberate effort, but the rewards are a deeper interaction beyond mere small talk.
Oh man I was thinking of this when I saw the thread, but I just remembered a vague parody, not many details.
I was thinking more the cultural side of the fun rather than the tools, the _why(s) who capture the imagination of the next set of people.
If you don't feel some existential dread at some point it's because you aren't being honest with yourself, which is a prerequisite to moving past that dread. IMO reminding people that they are mortal and that they should find a way to deal with that is a public service. So many of the strange things we do are because we're afraid to confront the reality that we too, some day, will die.
We leave the upvotes because I don't want to punish people by depriving them of karma.

Some people don't care, but some do (and some care more than they say they do, which is fair also).

Im having a water-shed moment where I have, picked apart my life's most dissatisfying areas. I was stuck on productivity and outcomes, even for others (parents and partner), but now I can do as you suggest I think. The intrusive thought that yet another dissatisfying aspect of life will arrise may just be a toxic thought that I can manage, or the only next thing to productively address.
I can't really know for sure because I've only gotten COVID once. Even with that in mind, they are low risk. It's not the first time I've tried nasal irrigation. It's given me relief every time I had performed it during the times I had a cold or even just a stuffy/runny nose. This goes way back to when I was a child. The supplements I take have a lot of data points as far as their benefits. If you Google these things individually: nasal irrigation, vitamin c/d and zinc and add filter "before:2020", you will see all the pre-COVID data points. I'm not just jumping into some fringe left COVID hipster trend.
The flat pipes tend to not need wicks as they're thin enough that they get the added benefit of capillary action. Any tube design, excepting ones using fairly-thin tubing (2mm OD 1.5mm ID) will likely use a wick for its own capillary action.
Aren't you guys saying the same thing?

The parent says, "There's too many people on earth already", you reply "Steve Jobs said Death is great and necessary", these seem like sympathetic points to points.
If they have independent release cycles, they shouldn't be tightly coupled (sharing models etc. beyond a specific, narrowly-scoped, and carefully versioned API layer), and in that case there is little benefit and nontrivial cost to having them be in a monorepo.
In my defence, your original comment made no mention of anything Soviet.

I think it’s not unreasonable to assume that when people say “Ukraine”, they’re referring to the free and independent sovereign nation.

Furthermore, you said that this is happening now or is planned for the future. The USSR doesn’t exist now, so this sounds very much like the common kremlin justification for their illegal invasion — that the Americans are using Ukraine to conduct secret nefarious experiments in bio labs.

The most charitable interpretation of your comment is perhaps that russia may use biological or chemical weapons in the current war against the Ukrainians, but then one would have to ignore that you specified Eastern Ukraine, because nothing is limiting russian terror to the Donbas.
It is kinda weird. However, at the end of the day, UnifiedPush is just a protocol that allows $heavyProtocolA to receive notifications through $lightProtocolB.

And XMPP is just $lightProtocolB, there is nothing stopping an XMPP-based UnifiedPush distributor w/o messaging from existing. If you don't use XMPP for messaging, there are many simpler distributors available.
Science is 80% discussion, opining, thinking, reading etc.
Also Earth and Mars are effectively in a Cold War in the series - with tons of sensors and massive arsenals of planetary defense interceptors (effectively massive cluster nukes with insanely hight acceleration boosters and a lot of delta-v). The antagonists actually need to use quite a lot of tricks to get anything through and indeed don't care what they hit and would likely not be able to target it so precisely anyway.
You really haven’t seen all of the reports of internal git repos getting breached?
It seems like 80% of generated images from these AI things I see on forums and facebook are of pretty women. Not that I don't like pretty women... but it's just so obvious.

For a really unpopular opinion:

I prefer modern C++20/23 to Rust.

For 98% of tasks Rust is incredible. But modeling those 2% of problems that don't fit neatly into Rusts domain, the level of "unsafe", "PhantomData", and advanced type-system hacks you need feels obscene when I can use some pointers in C++.

Rust also does not have a compelling platform/story baked into the std for low-level asynchronous programming.

High level Mutexes and locks are there, but you're in for a world of hurt if you want to do something like sharded/striped locking, where the actual data being protected isn't directly owned by the lock (see Tokio's "OwnedMutexGuard" for this, thanks to Alex Chi and Victor Yang for telling me about this)
The sad part is, the damage this does to companies won't be felt for years (which is how long it'll take someone to take the stolen source code, analyze it, and make a convincingly-distinct clone), so companies will think that nothing came of this, and they'll keep using CircleCI (and other similar platforms which put everyone's eggs in the same basket, how appealing to hackers that must be).
Seems nice but I stopped at the first textbox.
No, I won't waste my time scrolling tru a date picker while I could input the date numbers directly with my keyboard.
From the outside, it looks like many key infrastructure operations are running things like they are still startups, moving fast and breaking things. No access controls, engineers with machines they can take anywhere and install anything on, with full access to everything. Can't get in the way of moving fast, after all.
Yeah I hear you, and although much of business boils down to that ("do you want to sell sugar water the rest of your life?" asked Jobs), I really do utilize this tool myself!

What I find more concerning is the 100% scores that ChatGPT has been able to achieve on AP CSA and APUSH, among others.

It makes sense to teach 3rd graders 2+2, but if college board is creating "college level courses" with problems that can be easily solved through whats still a fairly new technology, we need to reevaluate what we're teaching in schools.

So many AP courses are just memorization and identifying formulas. I'd bet the majority of AP CSA students wouldn't fare very well when tasked with detailing how they'd approach a project, whereas kids in IB schools etc. would find it straightforward.
On a Sun box we had, the system controller would panic the domains every so many days (I think ~700).
You could have rebooted the domains in the chassis for regular patches, but if you hadn't restarted the SC, you were in for a surprise.

Restart your management devices!
Damn, you're right. Honestly, I was focused on the awkwardly shaped legs and feet.

Not the first time I've missed the forest from the trees.
Most implementations announced recently (e.g. in RISC-V Summit last December) have B.

Even the newer revisions of cores that have been available for a while (like SiFive U74) have been updated with B support.

As such, I believe it to be a non-issue. Hardware simply takes time.

>which are difficult to prove their value as a result,

As with any RISC-V extensions, each instruction had to meet many criteria to be allowed in there.

Rationale accompany the instructions in the documentation.
IBM still defines the backbones of information infrastructure, as already mentioned. GE is literally one of three major jet engine makers (alongside Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce) in the world, to say nothing of their more mundane businessess (eg: household appliances).

A company doesn't have to be a household name to be one of the foundations upon which the modern world depends on.
Agree. I'm having trouble following the discussion.
It's worth noting that this is a product of a time when everyone was competing to be the most "extreme". Sonic and Mario were both being rebranded to resonate with 90s audiences, so it's not surprising to see that come through here too.

It's just fascinating that Link behaves like Johnny Knoxville rather than... well, any chivalry role-model.
If they had access to GitHub Actions creds, I'm assuming the attackers could also push releases. I wonder how much malware is now in the wild because of this breach
Makes sense -- thanks!
> An hour a day is a massive commitment for most people with lives (work, family etc.) You can get very meaningful progress in drawing with much less. Don’t be discouraged from starting.

I use a cheap toy[1] I got for my kid, who got tired of it. It stays next to my keyboard and I doodle drawing exercises whenever I get tired of typing.

A minute here, a minute there, and next thing I know I've completed quite a few of the exercises (about 30m/day, if all the individual minutes are added up).

Works very well, and enforces drawing from the shoulder and not the wrist.

The opening scene is Link in a parapet above the princess. He comes out of the landing, gawking at the princess catcalling whistling, and then saying "Looking good princess, 'specially from this angle", with the direct implication he's able to see her breasts.

A fairy shows up with some clothing to the princess, saying "i told you princess, you should have put on a robe".

And this was sold as a kids show.

Yup.

English is not a native language for me, and I'm really not sure what is a correct answer.

The question is "how many chairs do we have in a room". But those 19 initial chairs was stated without any reference to "we", they are just chairs in the room. "We" are using 9 chairs, so we in some sense claim ownership on these. And "we" bought 9 more chairs, so they are also owned by "we". 9+9 is 18, and 10 chars that in the room but "we" do not have them.

Think of a common room shared by two not exactly friendly groups of people. Each owns some chairs and is ready to defend its rights. So if "we" is one of groups and we need more chairs the only peaceful way to get them is to buy more chairs.

I believe that this understanding of the question seems correct to me because I do not see some implicit assumptions, and it is due to my English is not good enough (I just know, I cannot reliably solve logic puzzles written in English). Can you please explain on this example why my reasoning is wrong?
yeah that's leet as hell
Once you can accept that your own life is insignificant and essentially meaningless, you can stop worrying about how many weeks, days, months or minutes you'll be here for and just appreciate the moment in which you are living. Perhaps you can even be grateful that you have lived at all.

American Taliban.

No offense to Americans generally, of course.
I'm a middle-aged father of two, and I participated in the BLM/Antifa activity in 2020 with another middle-aged father. The idea that the Park Blocks were a locus of violence and destruction is a straight-up lie. You saw the usual after-dark anarchist/hoodlum behavior on the news, but they never seemed to portray the peaceful community that occupied those blocks for several months, children and elderly included, unified in their desire for police reform.

So, I have strong feelings about ideologically-motivated posts trying to describe what I experienced as wanton rioting and looting. You weren't there.
The paper also says they used 8 Tesla V100. They are GPUs that are dedicated for ML and quite a bit more powerful than a m2.
Ever since I learned about Brainfuck myself (which I obviously couldn't believe at first that it's an actual thing), I keep peeping at esolangs.org to find some bizarre creations of (often) very bored programmers.
Wow, that's an interesting take on it, as well as a novel way of putting it.
I mean I do keep the RAWs but the use case there is a bit different anyways, even the JPEGs aren't a simple matter of "the compressed version" it's also "the preprocessed version". OTOH it takes no more storage to back a CD up correctly vs incorrectly so why be keen to add a generation of loss? You can lower the quality whenever you like but you can never add it back.

On the other hand, that someone served in the military means they were healthy enough to get in. Those with serious defects never get to the VA.

All economy is fragile because it is based on perception.

The value of a company, of an asset, security, labor, whatever is completely subjective. Yes frequently valuations sound realistic because some people have gambled a ton of money on them (e.g. Tesla is Trillion Dollar Company, or a software engineer’s labor is worth 10 times the labor of a teacher ), but at the end of the day it’s a completely arbitrary valuation.

I am really surprised that the system works at all.
Ok. So is that what you want to see? Just train the model on natural language processing of math word problems? Then it's capable of what you call "real" thought?

But the majority of Missouri voters are women. https://stacker.com/missouri/47-million-votes-see-demographi.... And I suspect given that it’s Missouri the majority of them think that both men and women should wear clothes with long sleeves in the legislature.
Ten years ago, if someone mentioned weather modification, someone not unlike yourself would call them crazy conspiracy theorists.

Now you fully accept the fact that what they were claiming is true, but because you don't care for their vocabulary they are still conspiracy theorists....

This is kind of silly. What is a trail of chemicals left behind an airplane? They chose to say "chemtrail".

Don't you see how that is kind of upside down?

Why is weather modification in quotation marks?
If you speed it up by 1/5 ten times, is it 1/5 of the way to perfection each time? If yes I think that's an exaggerated way of measuring, if no then what was special about the particular baseline you picked?

I think you need to use a log scale for this. It's a step or two toward perfection, but perfection is infinite steps away.
Is that a conclusion based on some research? Do you think they refuse to have children in protest?
Good way to get a sense of how used Yelp is anywhere: look up the local McDonald's.

If it has 4+ and/or detailed reviews... probably don't trust Yelp there.
Uh no. Did you watch the video you posted in full? He uses software called “ebsynth”. He draws over a couple of frames in a scene and feeds the rest to the software, which attempts to match the style. It’s not perfect, which is why you see some weird glitches in the videos.
“How strange it is to be anything at all”

We get preoccupied with the minutiae of day to day life and forget that we didn’t even know we were dead before we were born, and we won’t even know we’re dead when we die. And here we are right now, perhaps only minutes, hours, or days before we go back to being dust.

I find it helpful to think about this when my partner gets yet another parking ticket, I feel directionless in my career, or it seems like my teenage children think I’m lame.

Things are fine. They’re actually great. They can get a lot worse. It is worse for many others. I’m very grateful for the cards I was dealt.

Gives me a brief bit of nostalgia about how Google used to be.
SpaceX has two main verticals: launch services and Starlink.

This improves their launch capabilities (= higher launch revenue), but also enables Starlink 1.5, which means better coverage and therefore more recurring Starlink revenue.

The next thing they're working on - Starship - will essentially cannibalize Falcon Heavy while also enabling Starlink 2.0 which will supposedly be 5G from space.
Unpopular opinion but I think whenever these 'hack' incidents happen, there should be a full disclosure and the company should be made to tell us what exactly was hacked right down to the nuts and blots, sql queries and server processes level.

There should be full transparency on this and all the open source eyeballs should be able to study and scrutinize this. If not, anyone will be able to get away with data theft tomorrow saying, "my server got hacked". What will cause them to not do it except some sense of personal ethics which is rapidly degrading these days?
I don’t think it’s the issue. Why the same still happens in countries where women are treated much better (having more privileges than men) like Poland where women don’t need to serve in military and retire 5 years early while having 10 year longer average lifespan?

Birthrate in Poland is still declining
> they used git head mesa3d, experimental kernel patches to get the kernel part working,

In fairness, that's what I'd expect for new hardware; out of tree patches, then head, then unstable/rc/beta releases, then eventually normally stable versions. The firmware blobs are unfortunate, though.
