Or folding their arms under their breasts. Or commenting on one another's cleavage. Or really any excuse for the author to mention boobs out of the blue for no reason at all.

This seemed to start somewhere around book 4, and it happens WAY more than in any other books I've ever heard of. Super awkward once you notice it. WTF man?

You may be able to, but a lot of people don't want to gamble the existence of the human race if there's a chance we don't have to.

You may also live with the odds of no backup to a database, but others here will attest to the importance...

Well, you asked "why do this and not focus on Earth", so I gave you one reason.

But yes, I agree, space exploration is cool all on it's own, so I don't see what the complaint is.
Retire on a boat for like $3-4k/m and live pretty well, see the world. That's still a lot tho and your money will run out in a few years, unless you figure out a way to make $50-60k/yr on a boat (so you have some cushion, because you won't be employed all the time in this scenario).

Couples routinely live like this for $2k/m, so it is possible.
From good ol' Chat GPT:

The document is a research paper titled "The Google File System" and was published by Google in 2003. It describes the design and implementation of a new file system, called the Google File System (GFS), which was built to handle the challenges of processing large data sets using clusters of commodity hardware. The paper explains the architecture and components of the GFS, including its master and chunkservers, as well as its features such as atomic record append, data replication, and fault tolerance. The paper also discusses the performance and scalability of the GFS, and presents evaluation results of the system's performance. Overall, the paper presents GFS as a highly scalable and fault-tolerant file system that can be used to store and process large data sets.

Google File System (GFS) was a proprietary file system developed by Google and used in their data centers for over a decade before being replaced by Google's new file system, called Colossus. GFS was designed to handle the challenges of processing large data sets using clusters of commodity hardware and was used in many of Google's core services such as Google Search, Google Maps, and YouTube.

Colossus was developed as a successor to GFS, and it was introduced in 2010. It is a distributed file system that is based on the same principles as GFS, but it includes a number of new features and improvements such as increased scalability, improved fault tolerance, and support for larger file sizes. As of my last update GFS is not used by google as its primary file system, but it's important to note that GFS paper was a seminal work in distributed file systems, and it's concepts and ideas have been used in many other distributed file systems that have been developed since.

People were not detained in the USA for using the wrong nomenclature to describe the Iraq invasion, and yet that was also an unspeakably cruel, venal war of cynical aggression knowingly perpetrated on laughably false pretenses. To this day roughly half of Americans think it was the right move - https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/03/19/iraq-war-co...

So I don't think factors like that are so good at separating "good" invasions from "bad" ones.
If you think you feel bad being a cog and making a lot of, money, imagine how much it sucks being a cog and making much less in the service sector. Go to a Chipotle..there is a near 100% likelihood that the people preparing your food hate their jobs way more than you hate yours.
I mean people have had this idea "poisoning the well" for over a year now, but it's nothing more than a thought exercise, since even a whiff of what effectively amounts to malware would completely destroy your reputation as a software developer.
Oh, I mean, if it costs enough to enter the market that other people don’t step in during times of high demand and scalping, why don’t the original manufacturers raise their prices to closer to what the scalpers/resellers are getting, at least until some competition arrives. there must be some mechanism making that unattractive / not work is all I mean - maybe the fact that people can redesign to a different chip.

Due to a past experiment in my lab by a post doc, I'll be forever skeptical of putative treatments for complex human diseases that were identified using rodent models that target a narrowly defined set of behaviors or phenotypes.

The experiment was to test whether vitamin D supplements could attenuate behavioral problems associated with fetal alcohol syndrome. Our lab used a rat model of FAS. When the post doc told me about her experiment idea, I (as an undergrad at the time) told her it was interesting but couldn't be performed in a rat model because vitamin D was poison to rats. It calcifies their skin because they cant break D down like humans can. My warning was ignored, and the experiment was conducted anyway. She found that vitamin D treatment mitigated hyperactivity associated with FAS, and presented this finding at conferences. Well no shit this treatment would reduce activity in rats. If my skin was calcified I wouldn't want to move either.
so maybe it would be more appropriate to say, “other people disagree with this” rather than playing some strange kind of victim with “they won’t allow me to speak!”

we’re allowed to disagree.
Another cool project in that area: a modern replica of IMSAI 8080 [1]. (IMSAI 8080 was a hugely successful competitor to Altair)

They might rasterize fragments inside tiles to reduce blending costs, but still very much behave like immediate renderers: single-pass, with vertex shading results passed continuously into fragment shaders. Apple GPU is tile-based deferred renderer: vertex stage runs first storing results into intermediate buffer, then each tile is processed running fragment shader, at the end flushing results to framebuffer. This reduces memory bandwidth but might require multiple passes when eg. intermediate vertex output buffer overflows.

I was visiting London and took the train in the morning to the airport (this is a really bad idea), and saw that exact thing play out. Some girl was smushed into the crowd in train by someone outside so she could make the train, like a cartoon character.

Definitely convinced me I couldn't do a 9-5 after that
Both this and the clock above are quite, quite mad, and quite brilliant.

It's much more boring than that: generational wealth.

If you're lucky enough to have parents and ancestors that put their money to work compounding over a long time period, it would be growing more each year than the rest of us can hope to earn in our lifetimes. No evil plan needed. Just time.
I'd do it to make connections, but I would need to make some small amount of money. For 10hrs/wk I'd expect $1k/wk if it is something I specialize in.
Many desktop chips which integrated GPU have that GPU only for office use cases and debugging/ease of live. The recent Ryzen processor are a pretty extreme example of this only including a extremely minimal GPU.

So there isn't that much value in the effort to benchmark them.

There are some exceptions for low end gaming systems, some more office use cases and some AIO use-cases e.g. the G-series amd processors like the 5700G. They tend to have GPUs noticable faster then what intel integrated graphics has in the same generation but also noticable less the dedicated graphics.
Great tip, I wasn't aware of that crate!

That's simply because you haven't learned it properly. For example, I went through a course that taught CSS from the ground up [0] and I am now able to write any CSS I need to, and I can generally debug CSS issues a lot faster.

The problem is most devs, even on the frontend, learn CSS incidentally, not from first principles, so they get annoyed when they can't do stuff. I mean, yeah, if you don't learn something properly of course it won't work as you expect. It's the same as me not understanding Docker until I also learned it from the ground up.

These defaults seem like a reasonable, pro-consumer choice. Great to know there's at least one vendor that helps to get around the restrictions Secure Boot creates for the user.

Secure Boot has always been an anti-feature, at least from the user's point of view. It seems really strange to complain your device isn't locked down enough by default: the restrictions can always be enabled manually if that's your kink.

We could learn a thing or two from the British in the sense of making short run series, designed to not go beyond two or three seasons. Like the wrap-up is known from the start. It seems like Netflix wants every show to go on for infinity, and if it doesn't show promise for that by end of season, it gets axed. Far better to make several well-premised stories with limited seasons, than so many false starts that piss off viewers.

That said, God help the English and their insatiable appetite for procedurals to the exclusion of nearly everything else. The only thing more amazing than the quantity of repetitive detective shows is that the population hasn't risen up in revolt over it.

You spend most of your life at work (at least in the US). 24 hours in a day. 8 of them spent working. 1 hour for lunch. ~2 hours getting ready for work/sleep each day. 8 hours for sleep... that leaves you with ~5 hours per day, but you also have to do chores around the house, maybe pickup/dropoff kiddos, commute (if you don't work from home), and cook dinner and clean up afterwards. If you have 2 hours a day to yourself to pursue your interests/dreams, you are "fucked".

Ask HN: What would it take for you to revisit Lisp again?
For me it would be getting it working in vscode as a first class citizen (ie equivalent to slime or cider or what have you). But going back to emacs except for a glorified notepad is a nope never proposition.
I believe the reason there's no if/else is because CSS is supposed to be easy enough to interpret relatively quickly (in a finite amount of time). The moment you add if/else you'd up with a full programming language and the halting problem and an arbitrary amount of calculations before the system can finally know what to render.
Not not really Netflix doesn’t really do self contained seasons for the most part.

And don’t need to go all the way to Japan.

British shows used to have “series” which were self contained stories usually under 10 episodes sometimes even as little as 3 episodes in a series and series could be years apart.

However as budget grew and as British shows found audiences outside of the UK many have adopted a more seasonal approach with continuity between series and a yearly cycle.

However in general applying the anime way to shows is quite difficult because of the huge budget many shows require especially Scifi/Fantasy and historical dramas and a lot of that initial budget goes into setting up the production.

So you almost always need a multi seasonal plan to get those greenlit. Granted with CGI there is much less upfront sunken cost these days and much more of the cost goes into post production for each season but there is still enough when you need to build whole sets and costumes.

Miniseries also aren’t a solution mini series used to be pretty much made for TV movies with large budgets and often were huge events for the network.

Golden age 80’s miniseries like Winds of War, V and Masada from the 80’s had budgets on par with big movie blockbusters.

Winds of War which came out in the same year as Return of the Jedi had a budget of $40M to RoTJ $32.

By the late 80’s miniseries series like War and Remembrance were produced on a budget of over $100M, in fact War and Remembrance in 1988 had a budget larger than the 3 highest grossing films that came out that year - combined.

> What does this mean?

It probably means you flipped the combobox on the first screen. In the build on github, the only included model implementation is GPU. The other two implementations are disabled with macros, there: https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper/blob/1.1.0/Whisper/stdaf... These implementations are lacking some UX features like callbacks and cancellation, and I haven't tested them for a while, but they might still work.

> does this use both GPU and CPU simultaneously?

No, it's sequential. There's a data dependency between these two stages. The encode function computes some buffers (probably called "cross attention" but I'm not sure, not an ML expert), and then the decode function needs that data to generate the output text.

One thing that makes this much harder is the slippery slope that turns standups into status meetings.

I once had to forbid the manager from coming to the standup in order to get my team to start saying "I'm struggling with X" instead of "Look at me, I did Y" where Y is a rephrasing of what they did yesterday.

I don't get your comment about copilot code, it's not a zip bomb, when you use copilot or any other type of coding assistant, it just auto completes your code. any reasonably proficient software developer is going to sanitize and proofread appropriately. It's an LLM - not a sandbox to compile and execute code.

Same thing applies to the idea of self similar imagery, a.k.a. a fractal. Once you rasterized it, it's by definition no longer recursive in nature.

One thing that makes Secure Boot nice is how it (in theory) works _with_ measured boot. You get a measurement into the TPM that contains the public signing key that was used to verify the signature on your bootloader. This means if you update from one signed bootloader to a newer signed bootloader, you don't need to change any disk encryption or sealing.

Of course blocking execution is orthogonal to verifying the boot chain, but unfortunately those issues are conflated in the UEFI spec.

But Google already offers full search of most public Mastodon posts -- add "site:mastodon.social" to a Google search on anything in the news, and see what you get. It's odd for people to get so worked up about what would happen to Mastodon if it were generally searchable, and yet not to notice that Google already did that quite some time ago.
Doesn't the takeout strip the metadata from the photos? Things like the location data. I vaguely remember looking into this in the past and from what I remember there was no good way around it.

In my experience wirewrapping boards, never use the hand wrappers. They don't wrap tight enough, and after a year or so you'll be bedeviled by random glitches. Don't get a battery one.

Yup. This is actually why I just cancelled my netflix completely.

I thought it was pretty telling that in their little "tell us why you're cancelling" they didn't have "because we cancel too many shows mid run".

Not to mention the fact that in some places in America, $80k is barely above the cost of living for a family of four. Plenty of Americans in the "global 1%" in terms of income have seen almost nothing of the new wealth created since 2020, and certainly have far less than $850k net worth (as you point out, there's a 31pp gap).
This is such a deliberately naive take, Im unclear if you’re being honest.

Why has she chosen to stand and pray out front of an abortion clinic? She hasn’t chosen a random place. She hasn’t chosen her home, or place of worship, or a public square.

If I stood out front of your house and silently prayed for your family as they came and went, you’d eventually call the cops too. Especially if I brought my 20 mates and we stayed all night.

Protest should be utilised to bring attention to issues, and change the opinion of the majority, to enact change. It shouldn’t be used to intimidate a minority into changing their opinion or behaviour.
Vim is fantastic for reading text. There are so many good commands that make it trivial to move around your code incredibly easily, and also make it easier to read (for example, a 2 key chord to position the line under your current cursor to the top/middle/bottom of your viewport).

Even better, unlike most IDEs, the overwhelming majority of your screen is devoted to just the text. There are no toolbars, no sidebars, not even a menu bar. Vim (and similar terminal based editors) are the original focus mode text viewers/editors.

Finally, the VIM chords become natural in a way keyboard shortcuts don’t. Part of the reason is that with the VIM normal mode, you have access to significantly more keys with which to form shortcuts, whereas most other editors use number and letter keys for typing text, so shortcuts become increasingly convoluted combinations of modifier keys.

Everything about VIM is optimized for reading text, then editing text and only after that inserting text. Inserting text is a special mode in VIM, whereas the default normal mode is for reading.

So VIM is a highly optimized tool for the workflow you described.

I believe Mr. Barry is simply doing what very few of us are brave enough to do: To think for himself!

We are social animals, and many of our goals are the defaults set for us by our social cohort. Very seldom do we take the time to think deeply about what we really enjoy, much less have the courage to act on what we might think in a way that would mark us as different. After all, any rejection of the defaults is a subversive threat to undermine the entire system!

Good for you, Mr. Barry. I for one am very excited to hear more from you in the future!
