I honesty think the only way to deal with organisations like this is to publicly post their names and addresses and encourage the general public to follow them around in real life, everywhere they go. Crowds of people following them round the supermarket watching what they put in their basket might finally make them realise what they're doing.
When some of my submissions have hit the front page I got a lot more that 6K views in a day, although probably 10K in some minutes is an overestimate, possibly by a lot.

Agreed that it's probably glitch.me pushing people to a paid option, but there's no real problem with that ... they are a business providing a service.
There is apparently a disconnect between refactoring, rewrites and green field development and maintenance and long term support.

How often do developers who are quick to move to the next shiny thing held accountable for years after?

How often do they ask the hard and boring "What if" questions?

How much is empathy a driving factor in these decisions?
Same here. In fact, I still repair record players, cassette decks and 8-track units as a hobby. That said, I'm not about to sit here and say the modern vinyl thing is anything but a gimmick. As I said further in my reply, it's fine to like the gimmick, but let's not sit here and pretend something is somehow being kept alive or pure by particiating in it. Vinyl had its time, and that time has passed. There are better ways to listen, now.

One thing that the essay doesn't consider is the importance of efficiency in computation. Efficiency is important because in practice it is often the factor which most limits the scalability of a computational system.

The human brain only consumes around 20W [1], but for numerical calculations it is massively outclassed by an ARM chip consuming a tenth of that. Conversely, digital models of neural networks need a huge power budget to get anywhere close to a brain; this estimate [2] puts training GPT-3 at about a TWh, which is about six million years' of power for a single brain.

Ask HN: What are the biggest challenges in e-commerce?
I am building an open-source e-commerce engine that makes it easy to build bespoke digital commerce experiences. The engine itself provides default functionality similar to Shopify, but we generally focus more on infrastructure compatibility and developer experience.

I am curious to hear what is on the mind of e-commerce developers - what are your biggest challenges? What do you wish you could do? What is your biggest prediction for the future of e-commerce?

You completely missed my point. I'm not talking about managers, I'm talking about how fucking awkward it is to talk to people. We're mostly all a bunch of nerds. Lots of common ground, below average social skills. (I'm intentionally being facetious here.)

Small groups of 3-4 people with similar interests are WAY easier to feel comfortable in and get interesting conversations going.
"Learning the piano" is nothing like Guitar Hero, though. These apps just tell you (and check) which key to press in what order. They don't teach you anything about musicality like dynamics or articulation. They often can't even tell if you played multiple notes simultaneously or if your timing was correct.

If you cannot already play the piano, what you get is just a fancy way to learn reading (parts of) sheet music with the ability to connect a MIDI keyboard.
I agree with you that design and aesthetics matter, but I think Win 98 looked great.
> The thing is, almost every digital format will have better stereo separation than Vinyl will.

My initial comment about wider soundstage was for 24bit/192KHz and above sound carriers, carrying lossless audio from the source, not for vinyls. :)

I listen vinyl not for the detail it provides.

Non stable sorts are very annoying and confusing in UI. I'd argue that in most cases you'd want a stable one.
It's a radio dispatch console.

They're currently trying to transport it to C#, but its slower going than developing in Delphi, ironically, the thing that makes us move to C# is developer availability.
What are you suggesting they would use such a central watchlist for? It's not like they're going to deny service to those who have "amazon" in their email address.

And what kind of centralization are you talking about? Sharing it with other companies? I'm as pessimistic about these things as they come but even to me that seems incredibly unlikely.
Except that's not what they said, right? People like Fauci said there was no reason for the general public to use masks, which is a lie.
Sadly YouTube’s compression absolutely crushes the quality out of your video. Love the concept though.
You are wrong. My first graphical OS was Windows 98 at home after DOS at school. Windows 95 was built with UX/UI at mind, which lots of research. Current are themes are pure crap on usability. No contrast for buttons or menues. Too bright or too dark themes. No slight widget frames for separation.

The only semi usable flat theme under *nix it's Zukitre GTK2/3 theme with, maybe, the Newaita icons or similar. Everything else lacks lots of contrast.
> I'm not into data science by any means, and I first learned about tensors with Tensorflow.

Tensorflow doesn't actually have any tensors. At least not in the sense that tensor used to be used before Tensorflow. Tensorflow just has arrays.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor for the old, original meaning.
Is there an example of similar feedback but form Linus Torvalds or Steve Jobs, to compare?
I would say OpenCL was "betrayed" by most Khronos consortium participants on some level or another, and those who didn't betray it still tried to find ways to vendor-lock rather than really sharing and advancing the ecosystem to where it needed to be.

Still, remember that if you're not in the PC space, CUDA might not even be an option for you.

> GDP is down 10% since Brexit.

No, it's not? Unless you're comparing pre-pandemic to mid-pandemic, rather than the most recent post-pandemic estimates.

Current GDP estimate is within a percentage of what it was in January 2020, and about 6% higher than it was the month before the brexit vote. That's still far from ideal, but it's not 10% down.

Maybe you're thinking of GDP-PPP, but I haven't seen any post-pandemic figures on that, or maybe you're thinking that GDP _growth_ is 10% (not pp) lower than before brexit. That may be the case, but the last three years aren't a good basis for estimating GDP growth as they're very unstable for a whole host of reasons.

We are in a really bad economic situation and are underperforming most developed nations, but our GDP is not down 10%.
The systems in place should not actively work to keep others down, whether its by race, socioeconomoic status, religion etc. What matters is people's potential and capacity to be healthy, productive members of society. It's unlikely to be fair. Thats not really any one individuals fault.
For sure, however… look at the direction of this logic. For fear of an economic change, one is willing to place more burden on the planet and its humans/occupants.

Economic change largely means “less profit for corporations” and “more bailout for corps.” The poor are still poor just more poor-er…

Which usually translates to: “harder hits for consumers” as under capitalism, the profit is protected more than the people.

A good direction, imho, may be to edict (from gov) a directional change with a temporal bound, and financial hit for failing to meet that goal. So: “implement X by date or get fined and shut down.”

… ignoring that most nations have allowed corporations inroads to government halls making it virtually impossible to make any real changes that will help the people.

We’re screwed without drastic changes, it’s our fault, and it’s only going to get worse before it gets better.

I think the TensorFlow release roughly coincided with the widespread adoption of proper deep learning library, but it didn't cause it. In fact the first TensorFlow seemed to be just after (by 6 months to a year) the inflection point of deep learning library usage.

At the time, there seemed to be a lively ecosystem but no clear winner. Theano, Caffe and Torch were the main hitters but there were smaller players too. Torch was particularly good, maybe functionally ahead (but I don't really remember for sure) but hampered because, at the time, it was Lua only. In fact Keras's first release said "Keras is a minimalist, highly modular neural network library in the spirit of Torch, written in Python / Theano so as not to have to deal with the dearth of ecosystem in Lua."

When TensorFlow was released, it looked like that would be the death of all the other libraries. The fact that any others survived at all is really down to how hard to use TensorFlow was (/is?). It didn't live up to the expectation of being the killer of other libraries.
Because prices have zero, or close to that, to do with costs. If your costs are too high for the market to accept, you simply go out business.
If you were willing to take Linux admins and cross-train, sure I could see that. But a lot of companies tend to ask for x years of actual experience with the product, and there's far more people with that in Linux than Any proprietary unix.

The hardware is another factor too of course, the cheap X64 server being "good enough" inevitably moved people in that direction.

> you can run Linux on IBM hardware, but then.. why?

Don't know if this counts, but you get much memory with fewer cores.
For software where licensing is coupled to cores this quickly gets cheaper.

And for what I see in production the hardware is more reliable in comparison to two large x86 vendors. This is of course based on a small number of systems (n~100)

It was a great experience for me traveling to a foreign land as an adult. One of my most valuable lessons came as the trip began to wind down, and I was left with a medium amount of money in that country's currency. I suddenly realized that this money was essentially going to become useless the moment we left. It wouldn't be enough to justify a trip to the bank to convert it, especially with the fees. I started buying anything I wanted, and some things I didn't. Anything I could spend this useless money on would be better than taking it back home with me.

As you might realize, there's quite a parallel to our lives here. At some point in your life, and it might be now, and it might not be until moments before the end, you will realize that all this money is useless to you. You'd trade literally all of it for another moment that matters. Do you want to have that realization when it's too late, or do you want to get started on that now?
That's basically what a condo board is.

There are just a lot of condo boards, and a lot of them are 1) poorly managed, and 2) run by busy-bodies with their own agendas leading back to 1).

Same story as HOAs, really. Keep in mind that both have a selection bias, too -- well run neighborhoods or buildings don't generate controversy and lead to lawsuits or 6 paragraph screeds about how terrible they are.

Actually if this had a good export feature, this could be a very useful tool for other level designers to start crafting their imaginary worlds in a way that those worlds make logical sense.

> This article is a straw man.

This comment is a straw man. The author gave a link to what the "planning" entailed: https://aeon.co/essays/elon-musk-puts-his-case-for-a-multi-p...

"‘Even at a million, you’re really assuming an incredible amount of productivity per person, because you would need to recreate the entire industrial base on Mars,’ he [Musk] said."
So perhaps a good counter would be:

"No, keeping spares is insurance."

This way, the costs of keeping extra inventory is acknowledged, while underscoring it also buys you something. Whether or not you need it, or how much, is for discussion, but treating spares as pure waste by definition doesn't feel responsible, and is how you end up in trouble if there are supply chain disruptions - whether global or local.

And in more general sense: money is indeed cheaper to store than physical items, but can only substitute for them if, at the time you need those items, you can actually buy and get them.
Earth will eventually die. And all stars. It’s not conceivable to consider expanding the longevity of the human species by more than all of known history, however.
> If you dig into it, I think you’ll see that a disproportionate share of those with the biggest homes, the fastest cars, and the shiniest jewelry, grew up “snubbed” in some way. Part of their current spending isn’t about getting value out of flashy material goods; it’s about healing a social wound inflicted when they were younger.

I thought this was just called nouveau riche.
For my Rust book I've just been diving into the old BSD 4.4 source code for cat which converts control characters into printable ASCII with the -v flag and it handles DEL as a special case: putchar(ch == '\177' ? '?' : ch | 0100). But if you XOR the character with 0100 (64) it always clears the 7th bit, which results in '?' for DEL. Interestingly, peeking at the GNU coreutils code it also handles DEL as a special case and just prints "^?".
> Fundamentally, you can't leave people to make the decision "spread the airborne pathogen" when that affects other people to this extent.

When it comes down to it, you're arguing for a type of society that prioritizes certain values, and those who disagree with those policies are arguing for a society that prioritizes different values. You are not automatically right or morally superior simply because you value safety more than freedom.
academia doesn’t set cultural expectations. If the culturally influential people in the space sector are saying humanity is doomed on earth and our future is on Mars and other planets, that’s the message most people will take onboard.

The article is written for people, not academia. Ask laypeople about Mars and you’ll get a representative insight into the Mars fantasy.
It's actually much simpler for most Americans. The US is the leader of freedom and democracy. The US supports and defends those ideals beyond its own borders. Is the US perfect? No, but what would the world look like today without their leadership? Who would stop the authoritarians from taking over their neighbors?

The numbers are misleading, 8% budget increase is less than inflation and a large part of the aid package to Ukraine is hardware sitting in storage that's already been paid for, but they use the original sticker price.

> That being said, the data speaks a fairly simple truth. TensorFlow is, as of now, the most widespread deep learning framework. It gets almost twice as many questions on StackOverflow every month as PyTorch does.

I don’t like how easy to measure things are conflated to mean more important things.

SO traffic shouldn’t mean something is more widespread without some more information.

Maybe PyTorch has great documentation and doesn’t need as many questions. Or maybe PyTorch users are on slack or irc for their questions.

SO is a good sign that a tool is being used generally, but I don’t think should be used to compare. I think counts if SO are nominal and not even ordinal for purposes of a technology’s use.

I’m not sure how to actually evaluate products. Maybe downloads? Or publications? Or referencing projects, although this is hard as there are many non-OSS projects that can’t be counted.

Anyway, this seems to irk me since people will equate “n people tweeted” with meaning something other than “n people tweeted.” Like somehow something being measureable makes it mean something.

Even for "nerds" there are usually people where they don't feel awkward about talking to them (Friends, family, online regulars,...).

This is very different to meeting an online stranger you have never interacted with every week.

Well, nicotine is actually a pretty good ADHD treatment option.

That's part of the reason why we see more (adult) ADHD these days: people used to smoke a lot. (Chain smoking plus guzzling black coffee used to be the stereotype for eg journalists or editors.)

So nobody strictly _needs_ to smoke, but it helps some.

Star Trek and similar science fiction entertainment is far more responsible for the public having a belief in "Planet B" than anything else. Guess one could argue that tv and movies are the creation of entities that are like billionaires given their wealth and influence but even pulpy midcentury sci-fi magazines written by nearly impoverished authors were pushing the vision of humanity spreading far beyond Earth. Almost everyone in the developed world grew up in a cultural environment steeped in this sci-fi vision of humanity in space.

I guess that's the nefarious explanation, but there's a more benign one: if you want to correlate user behavior, you need some sort of normalization, otherwise john.doe+apple@example.com and john.doe+amazon@example.com would show up as different "people" and cause match rates to suffer. Sure, getting tracked isn't great, but it's not exactly the hypocrisy rage-bait that the OP is implying.
