A recirculation system will prevent high levels of CO2 buildup in occupied rooms, particularly with closed doors. I've measured the difference in our bedroom overnight between having the fan on and off, and it was dramatic (if I recall correctly, something like 700ppm in the morning vs 2000). Even if it's only keeping the level consistent throughout the house, that would be a benefit. But every house will have some amount of air leakage as well; a recirculation fan with a fresh air intake (which all modern ones have) will pull in fresh, filtered and conditioned air to replace air that leaks out. If that's not sufficient for indoor air quality, then you can crack a window or set an exhaust fan to run periodically. I haven't generally found that necessary though.

ERV/HRV has its place it less moderate climates where there is significant efficiency loss from pulling in outdoor air, especially if indoor conditions require a significant amount of fresh air turnover. But a central HVAC system with a recirculation fan most definitely can be beneficial in a lot of cases.
Note that COBOL has always been compiled to native code, so that is already the baseline to beat.

I'm not sure. I was joking with a friend recently, telling him that he should have asked the seller in the salon for a real car, not his Mercedes that talks and turns on some settings that annoy him and he turns off again and again at every engine start. My mute and semi-dumb Citroen is a better car on that metric.
But even with return policies, many of the buyers of these things will not even realise they've been scammed, or when they do, might feel returning the item to be too much trouble. So return policies aren't going to fix this. There needs to be actual enforcement of consumer protection laws.
Project succeeds = good.

Project fails = bad.

If a bunch of projects given to NG + LLM fail, the company will say at some point "this is no good, let's not do that anymore". If they mostly succeed, they'll do it more.

From a middle manager's perspective, where they're funding 10-20 projects, this kind of measurement is feasible and carries at least some signal. So I don't agree it's difficult to measure.

Whatever happened to, what was it called again, Grasshopper?
I feel they need to acquire a "real" studio like NBC. They are sorely lacking in organizational production, casting, writing talent, or people that know the industry to identify talent.

Netflix from what I can tell simply bootstrapped their own production company, and I think Amazon did too. My conclusion is that they are not organizationally good at production, they simply hope for miracles from whomever they put in charge of IP.

I mean, is HBO a "big company" from a production/management standpoint? Look at the quality they put out. NBC I believe is not that big anymore either, but their series and coherent branding simply seems so much better than Netflix or Amazon Prime.

> Are we getting the same compensation?

Of course not. Just like this isn't the same reparations compensation that Japanese and Japanese-Americans received during the Reagan administration.

You do think those internees should have received compensation, even though Black-Americans did not at that time, right?

Further, as https://theconversation.com/why-japanese-americans-received-... correctly points out: "It is much easier to obtain reparations under the following conditions:

* The number of victims is relatively small.
* The victims are easily identifiable.
* Many of the direct victims are still alive.
* The injustice took place during a relatively short time period.
* The perpetrator is known.
* The injustice is easily identifiable.
* The injustice offends values of equality, personal safety and/or the right to own property.
* There is a symbolic victim around whom advocates for reparations can rally.
* The amount of reparations asked for is not so large that the public will find it unreasonable.

You'll notice San Francisco's list of requirements fits most of those conditions.

While the Chinese workers who suffered under back-breaking physical conditions and racial oppression some 150 or so years ago do not.

Other reparations are surely possible, and I agree with you they should be done. One sort of reparation is "guarantees of non-repetition", which I here might include explicit denunciation of the official white supremacy policies and "yellow peril" xenophobia in the US which lead to these atrocities, and resulted in the decades-long prohibition of Chinese immigration, and with the reasons for that denunciation taught as part of our history.

Could you elaborate what your "we" means? You certainly weren't one of those workers, and it's unlikely you are one of their descendants. This SF proposal doesn't include all Black people, and I'm hard pressed to think why you think you would be included in a similar one for America's 19th century Chinese labor oppression.

The concept is solid, but Apple needs to work on improving performance to be relevant in this field. If they add dedicated matmul capabilities to their GPUs and implement native limited-precision support, their ML training performance will improve by a factor of 4-6x which will instantly make Apple Silicon much more attractive in this domain. The disregard stack and programmability need some improvements as well. For example unified virtual address space and improvements in CPU/GPU communication would be a welcome addition (contrary to intuition latency of CPY/GPU transfers is higher on M1 than on many dGPUs because it can take a very long time for a GPU program to be scheduled).
Completely agree on all points, except for "few days". It took much longer than that, but partly due to learning Ansible as I went. The pain was still worth it, though.

I wish they'd gone with 2001-02-03T04:05:06 (sub 16 for 24h, obvs) because that at least is in numerical order (and you can use +07 for timezone.) There's surely no date format in existence where month comes first and year comes last -after the time-. Or if they were stuck on 2006, 2006-05-04T03:02:01 but then you get +00 for the timezone which might be weird.
They can see the environmental systemic crisis approaching, they have no idea how to handle it, so all they do is hunker down and supress the citizens, that will carry them to the gallows none the less. If supression ever helped, the history books would be empty.

I guess I won't convince you that ChatGPT does not manipulate abstract thoughts, but just words. It really just interpolates between texts it has read, sometimes resulting in interesting answers, sometimes resulting in complete bullshit. And it has absolutely no clue about how wrong its output is. Because it does not "think" or "understand". It really just brilliantly copy-pastes words that seem relevant.
I'm from Sweden, not USA. I think there are many problems with USA, but it isn't capitalism at least, I'd say the major problem is that their democracy doesn't properly represent the will of the people. Sweden isn't perfect, but I don't see many countries that does a better job, and Sweden is very capitalist, we voted about going towards communist but people didn't want to. Instead we have a strong capitalism, but with relatively high taxes and high government benefits, but other than that governments doesn't meddle much with companies, so freedom to do business is very high.

If Cuba was a democracy then I would disagree with the sanctions, but I don't think it is wrong to pressure a government into giving proper voting rights to its people. If Cuba actually implemented democracy and USA still sanctioned them then that would be bad, but that isn't the situation we are in.
Does Adreno really have a deferred mode? The documentation I could find only describes tiled immediate rendering.

Edit: I just had another look, pretty sure this is standard Tile-Based Immediate Rendering. The documentation sometimes refers to this as "deferred" probably because copying of the final image values to the RAM is deferred. But "deferred" in TBDR means "deferred shading", not just "deferred memory copy". Adreno does not do deferred shading.

Nick Cave’s direct response is verbatim on the original generated text page [0]. It’s worth a read. Stronger: read that, not the linked guardian article.

He’s a fabulous wielder of words. Placed next to the generated text, his rebuttal lays bare the beige blandness of chatgpt output.

What’s truly threatened are authors of articles like the linked guardian one. That’s the irony of it. These cut, paste, and bookend articles that hacks churn out over coffee at the start of the work day. They dilute rather than focus the conversation. That’s what chatgpt can replicate with aplomb. Not that we’ll be the better for it since there are all too many of them already.

I hope Nick works on a song about the “algorithmic awe”, the “replication as travesty”, the “grotesque mockery” that generative text supports. Its superficial output threatens the visible breakthrough of genuine new human creative talent above the inevitable impending noise of vanilla generated music and lyrics.

I routinely see reviews on German Amazon complaining about products lacking legally required certification or safety features. Those products continue being sold on Amazon. My guess is that for every product that gets shut down another pops up and Amazon drags its heels when confronted.
This is actually pretty huge - up until now Microfocus (and IBM) have dominated the COBOL modernisation space. What would be really interesting would be a systems integrator taking up Otterkit and legitimising it / adding support and so on.
I’m a big fan of Aliexpress and used to buy a fair amount from there after finding it on Amazon.

Now, if I see something on Aliexpress, I’ll check to see if it’s just as cheap or slightly cheaper on Amazon. Much of Aliexpress has inflated away the deep savings that were there in the 2014-2019 era.

To be fair, it's not that bad if you live in Japan (by that I mean you have a Japanese credit card and phone number).

I'm a tech + product co-founder who just raised our seed round. Ours is a pure hi-tech product and I envisioned the product and built it.

Inflammatory comment imo (or perhaps meant to be humorous). Either way, every developer you interact on DevClad with is approved manually. The factors used to manually approve a profile include a history of building side-projects or employment as an SDE at a company. This is the reason there's a 2-step onboarding process before you get to use DevClad.
I'd love to see that. Voice acting for mods where you want to include new NPCs requires either someone to donate some voice lines, or paying for it to be recorded. If you want to patch existing NPCs, that's even harder because getting the original voice actor to do the new lines would require both persuading them to do it, and complying with any agreements they might have with the publisher that could prevent that.
Don’t generalise from me. I am a very strange Australian!

From a business perspective, I think you are probably right. I don’t personally find cold affects my brain function (you can put on warm clothing right?), but heat probably does once we get above 30c. It’s summer right now in Aus, might be affecting some of my posting.

For home though, I’m happy for the inside to be much the same as the outside. Mostly though, I just want the interface between my home and the natural world to be permeable. I think that’s good for mental health, and that the pros outweigh the cons. The thing is that you can’t have that and properly insulate it at the same time. So a choice has to be made, and I personally lean towards less insulation/more lizards.

Having said that, we’re all different, whatever floats your boat. If you prefer plastic bubbles inside caves of steel, who am I to judge?
A few things:

- a lot of the people who are in their 40-50s today never saw the packages we are seeing today (well, until two years ago)

- some of them carry a family with kids. You will only understand the math behind it until you’re in it.

- life does not work like an xls spreadsheet. It’s not like you « decide » to live of $40k/year. You meet people, things happen and the next thing you know, your « basic » needs require 50% of a significant salary.

- people need a purpose in life. I have seen plenty of people with FU money keep going with their job if they like it. Not everyone dreams of creating a company or living in the countryside.
Proving your lineage back to the 1865 census and still identifying as black on current government documents means you were exposed to massive amounts of labor theft and a lot of the race based discrimination that took place in between then and now.

As https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34391669 quoted from https://sf.gov/sites/default/files/2023-01/HRC%20Reparations... , the list of requirements for this proposed reparation depends on records.

You can easily read "identified as ‘Black/African American’ on public documents", "proof of residency", "Record of attendance", and other things which require evidentiary records.

Even "Descendant of someone enslaved through US chattel slavery before" requires records.

The 100x plus speedup is no exaggeration either, I've noticed some incredulity from others at the numbers.

For a very simple comparison, I recently was testing a (poorly) custom built data-oriented Entity-Component-System for usage in games with a more typical "componentized" object approach. No multithreading or anything complicated.

On my system, the typical approach could generate about 1000 new objects and attach a single component in about 1 millisecond.

The data-oriented approach could generate about 100,000 new "objects" and attach a single component in about 0.5 milliseconds.

Same thing in the end, but one is roughly 200x faster in the same time frame. It's pretty stunning when you see stuff like this in benchmarks.
It's a different world. The amount of "fyring" (burning wood on the stove) we had to do before we did the renovation of the house was nuts. Also the "vindsperre" works pretty well.

I think I have acknowledged that. Sure, move where you are better suited but don't expect that to solve your problems. It's the same thing as with finding a spouse or a job of your dreams that also pays well. That's less problems for you but believe me when I say the disappointment is is truly crushing when you work hard to make these changes happen hoping it will solve problems that can only be solved by working on yourself but things get even worse! Imagine moving to a rural place and you enjoy nature but now ontop of it all you are very lonely, isolated and stressed for time and money for example.
Yeah, in the zombie game there were brightly colored vending machines, random gun dispensers you had to pay for with points, and dropped power ups. It was a lot going on.

Speaking of Red Dead Redemption, I am working toward being able to robustly stream games from my desktop computer to the living room TV. I'm hoping to try playing through Red Dead Redemption 2 once it's all set up and working. It's non-trivial, as I will soon be relocating my desktop to a detached guest house. I think the reason I am drawn to Rockstar Games is because of their level of immersion despite the relative lack of gameplay complexity. I like that the only customization in L.A. Noire is picking an outfit, and if you want a bigger gun you have to open a car trunk in the middle of a shoot-out.

I am certainly nostalgic for the games I played in my youth. StarCraft, EverQuest, Starsiege Tribes, Medal of Honor and Battlefield 2, Freelancer, the list goes on. My old friend came into town a couple years ago, and we had a small LAN party for old time sake. We spent an hour just getting StarCraft to run reliably on everyone's computers. It was just as fun as ever.

I'm only down about 10% right now. Also, my investment in SHIB coin is due to take off like a rocket at any moment!
