Spotify podcasts don't have RSS feeds either. And have massively expanded their podcast program over the past few years, such that they know serve more podcast listeners than Apple.

But this is the play several big players are involved in make to try to convert podcasts into walled gardens.

The OP is really sniping around the edges of a major thing that's going on, which Apple is actually playing catch-up on.

Wow this is AMAZING!

There are a whole set of projects I’ve just not tinkered with because of my lack of knowledge about motors.

For example, I want to make my bicycle hook system run on a motor. But winches are too strong. Don’t need something to pull 1500 lbs. just 100 lbs.

All I know is that it should probably be low rpm and higher torque.

Another is to play with something like curtain opening motors but as long as they are as quiet as possible.

Hope this resource helps with the first principles understanding of how to pick motors, etc.
Every day I have to go into the office means wasting 4 hours driving to/from an office so that I can call into the same meetings I would be calling into if I hadn’t been forced to waste those 4 hours.

Return to the office is easily a 20% pay cut in terms of $/hour comp.
I think that part of it is the opportunity cost of working on a passion project. I have more than one of these types of projects, and I have to weigh them against one another. For example, I could work on these projects and building them out, or at more features to my personal website, or build something new.
Lovely story and song! Thanks for sharing!
Stallman appears to be considering "source available" licenses which forbid modification (and sometimes deployment) as "open source." This is not the definition of open source that everyone else uses. Certainly the OSI would not agree. There is more information here: https://opensource.org/osd

RMS was around in the 1980s when "open source" was still being defined. So maybe he thinks he can define it however he likes. But to the rest of us it doesn't make sense, like saying "software that has a free software license, like GNU Emacs and Microsoft Word." One of those two doesn't belong in that sentence, and saying that I'm using my own custom definition of "free software" is a pretty shitty way to argue.
Isn't this what Tesla's Dojo machine is trying to tackle? I wonder about the relative importance of FLOPS vs memory bandwidth in far future AI machines.
Is there any service like this for AIS data?
This makes me feel uncomfortable
While I find snake_case more readable when looking at the identifier alone, it has the downside that _ is mostly whitespace with the glyph at the bottom of the character cell, and so it visually groups more with punctuation like "." than with letters. Which wouldn't be so bad if "." wasn't so common in property / method call chains, so you end up with stuff like:

foo.bar_baz.blah()

being difficult to parse when quickly skimming through code. OTOH kebab-case solves this nicely because "-" is not in the same place as "." in the character cell, and being in the middle, groups more naturally with letters:

foo.bar-baz.blah()

Then again, maybe the established formatting conventions for member access are just suboptimal? Suppose that we put a space before every "."; then:

foo .bar_baz .blah()
Quite right, that’s the full picture.

Honestly though I am that kind of monster

I suspect they're referring to "80% of what I want out of it," not "80% of the detail."
This task requires a bit more work than I'd want, but I'd also point out $100k can buy ~9 A100's which are good for ~7k hours of work a month (through not entirely reputable channels, so there's a chance some might die earlier or might have to be returned). That might not train Stable Diffusion in a fast enough time for you (~50k hours estimated training time), but it's still damned impressive. And you can keep the hardware.

I wonder if AMD is as over-the-top brutal with legal control over where their GPUs can be used as Nvidia is. Maybe with energy cost you might possibly still want to stick with the A100's anyways, but you can afford quite a lot of RX 7900's with $100k (if you can find em).
There are so many more types of semaphores than most people realize, and they're way more versatile than their humble api might make you think. I had a go at implementing Win32-style semaphores in rust and wrote up about it at length; most people coming from the posix world had never experienced the almost "thread pool management" levels of awesomeness you can get from such a tiny api.

Is your shoe blocking your big toe from moving or is your big toe not capable of separating from your other toes? First one I would not consider an issue - the system would need to be part of (or at least insertable into) an appropriately designed shoe anyways. If you're having trouble splitting your big toe from the rest, it's usually just an underdeveloped muscle, but you should most likely be able to do it after some exercise.

Apparently the real problem is the Firewire hardware in the scanner fails.
You can actually advocate violence legally in the US, just not as directly as you might want to. Talk to a lawyer first. Some of the key things to remember are that you don't mention a time or place of what you want to happen, and leave the details of exactly who's going to do it and what the specific action is a bit fuzzy.
I either didn't realize or forgot this exchange also included Drew Houston talking about his then freshly launched Dropbox product.

Also interesting to see that shitty, toxic commenting was also prevalent on HN in 2007.
You including your Apple Pay gripe in that list is a misattributed laughable Americanism instead of the jab at Apple that you intend it to be.
So how do you propose those “problems” be “fixed” and not cause harm to customers who are getting cheaper goods?
!! I have a S1300, was going to scan stuff soon. Yikes, I didn't think it wouldn't work. Have you tried VueScan software? I have a license for VueScan and can try it out later tonight.

(I also have a S1100 which Fujitsu sent me because a won an online draw!)
There’s always room for improvement, no argument there. That said, I don’t see GNOME or elementaryOS as a clean step forward.
> Seems like development and new jobs would be helpful for the area, no?

Maybe, maybe not. Those tell me about Ohio in general, not the area the parent commenter is talking about. Either way, I'd be inclined to ask the people who live there what they want, not prescribe "development and jobs" from my ivory tower while insulting them.

My point is that you're making a pretty absurd false dichotomy. It's either "unemployment and opiate addicts", or having your quiet rural home paved over? Those are the only two choices?

Corollary: Is there something in their terms and conditions that would give them rights to perform such nefarious activity with legal impunity?
“If it can’t be grown, it’s gotta be mined.”
Does anyone have any insight into this rationale:

For the same reason they’re absent from Boost: a preference for mutexes and condition variables. From the library maintainers’ point of view, conventional semaphore techniques are just too error prone.

The link to the Boost FAQ page from the C++ document site is 404.
(Hot damn, that was a super thorough/thoughtful reply in a short amount of time.)

You're spot on about the quirky syntax, but I don't think it's as serious a trade-off or addition in complexity (or even a change), given that:

- (IIRC) many style-guides/formatters already enforce spaces between binary operators and their operands (but especially identifiers) and in my super-subjectively-opinionated opinion you should already be doing that even without a formatter

- I don't feel particularly strongly one way or another about any other special characters like "+", so really in this case I'm only considering the dash

- Requiring the dash be between alpha/alphanumerics makes it play nice with unary operators

- The language would be terrible for code-golfing, but that's a relatively niche application I'd definitely consider worth spurning
I am all for the use of goals, and I think I hit mine goal to learn with these projects. Now I'm in the weird goal-less limbo after achieving the original goal where I can re-evaluate and decide whether or not I want to keep going down this route. This is where I'm a little stuck.
To be fair, it has been quite a while (not in our lifetime AFAIK) since we had a sitting president with such antisocial behavior tendencies. It was uncharted territory.
Unicode has lots of space characters, maybe we could choose one to be a space that is legal in identifiers.
It doesn’t sound like you know what this new feature actually does.
I agree. I know it's the conventional wisdom to phrase things in that way. Having hired a lot of people and read a lot of resumes I personally either ignore these statements or have a chuckle over them when they are silly. In no world would someone capturing the "impact" of what they did make me more likely to hire them.

I'd actually say I'm much more interested in understanding what concretely a person actually did, so I know what kind of experience and capabilities they have, vs what it led to, which has so many external variables and is probably mostly BS anyway.
It's an indictment of the A100 node that died on us yesterday, leaving us with 248 GPUs in the particular cluster where we were running the experiments :(

It turns out that, in these kinds of large-scale experiments, hardware failures are a constant fact of life, and we have tools to manage these hardware failures and allow runs to continue anyway.

Unfortunately, it would mess up our throughput calculations for getting clean baselines here, so we're waiting for our cloud provider to kindly replace the bad A100. Expect those numbers in the next day or so.
Hong Kong for instance is a freer market. Ofc it s easy: we dont build cars, we dont produce sugar, we dont design processors, all the stuff that's severely restricted in the US is due to an imbalance between the need of voters and the ideology of free markets.

As long as the US listens to or need the votes of their people, they cant be a free market.
Which past question are you referring to?
How would you feel about a proposal like, "Because of X,Y, and Z, I believe that my current position doesn't match the value I provide to the company. My opinion is that a good method to fix this would be to promote me to Sr. (current position) or (current position roman numerals +i) and increase my salary accordingly."?

I hope those countries would adapt by competing and fixing the things that fuck up their business climate. Also worth noting if their labor flees the price of labor in their country would rise and hopefully make things better for the remainder.
Why health-care services are in chaos everywhere
Getting reliable GPUs is a difficult problem, I empathize. I've spent a decent amount of time and money because there was one failing GPU on an AWS cluster.
This is true. There have been plenty of stories about small businesses and franchises having to raise wages to compete with Amazon warehouse jobs
For example, the Epson Perfection V850 Pro scanner has an optical resolution of 6400dpi for $1300 while doing the full bed, greatly exceeding the X1's 3200dpi in that mode. If you want to match the film scanning performance, the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE film scanner has a resolution of 7200dpi for just $400.

That is the point, though? Is "x- 20" the same as "x - 20" the same as "x -20" In the vast majority of modern programming languages, that is a yes. If you allowed dashes in the names, not so much.

Now, I grant the point that it is doable. But the point is it complicate things. Now, fair, we have some of these complications already by virtue of the fact that we allow numbers in variable names. "foo3" is already allowed in many languages, and that clearly gets altered as you add space between the characters.
It would be nice if they could do some of this development in a sustainable way, like encouraging walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods with reasonable density, but unfortunately based on the language in your comment (highways, big box stores) it sounds like yet another car-dependent, sprawling suburb.
I have an Epson V800 and a Flextight, the output is much better on the flex tight. There's more to it than just the manufacturer's DPI flex.
Yes... but in that case the value is in the labor, except that they didn't really do any labor, as both the story and pictures were generated by AI.
Great fun - bravo!

One observation from me, using Firefox on a 2019 MacBook Pro: my computer got very warm while playing, and the cooling fans were running much higher than normal. It looks like the page is using a lot of CPU.
This is a common misconception for a lot of studies. The selection bias is strong when trying to make us eat fake meat, nutritious sugar, keto diets etc. etc.
GCC inline assembly can be coerced to do the right thing.
And it's whitelabel all the way down. So, is this just one generic universe of many?
It's a bad idea to scramble the order of floating point operations unless you can tolerate extreme inaccuracy, and in some applications accurate FP results don't matter, but the non-associativity of FP isn't just a technicality: you can lose all of your significant digits if the order of operations in well-written scientific code is changed.
There's no MX record on the domain so it seems to typo
True, and it will never be 100% because society and governments have their own way of pushing back eventually. But as I said, the issue is in the broader strategy, a trend has been emerging for some time now. The cost benefit is subjective so people have different tolerances - but some, like me, exited a number of stops back when they saw the track ahead. I'm only here to suggest others might want to pop their head out the window and decide for themselves.
> Workers also spend less time grooming and getting ready for work when they're remote.

Yes, dehumanize the workers more.
Fast Fourier Transforms
I'd imagine more of it has to do with trying to beat every penny of those desperate to get more use of their $15k+ scanner, and less to do with it being a technically complex task. That's assuming it truly just being a port issue is correct.

It's a niche market, and they're just taking advantage of such niche market, however morally gray it may be.
I think that is exactly what you would want such a study to detect, not something that you would be trying to control for.

It is a matter of what the hypothesis being tested is. If your hypothesis is that racial inequality is due to ongoing discrimination on the basis of skin color, finding that the cause is a difference in potential undermines that hypothesis.

If the difference in outcome is due to different potentials, not skin color, you can ask why are the potentials different.

I think this is the interesting and most relevant question.

Why are outcomes so different for a black person born dirt poor in the US with immigrant parents compared to a black person born dirt poor with slave ancestors?

This Cuts directly to the heart of why racial inequality is so persistent in the United States.
That is not necessarily a saving. If you have a let's say a team of five people each costing $1000 a day, those idle 6 days (not counting the weekend) would add up to $30k of wasted money. Then if you are working on something the competition is also working on, these lost days would add up and potentially cost losing the edge - could be quite expensive or even cost the business.
It was previously scanning on Mojave for me, but good to know, maybe I can use ExactScan Pro to get it to recognize my S1500M without me having to downgrade. I had stayed on that macOS release for quite some time for 32-bit app support, not to mention updating to Monterey also borked my MBP's ability to recognize NTFS drives, needing me to get Paragon NTFS.
Instant Screenshot to Calendar Event Hack with AI
This is usually a reference to the types of securities he trades in - stuff that's available to the general public. It's normal to focus on certain security types even when working at larger firms/groups.
Found a cool hack that allows you to take screenshots and have them instantly be converted to calendar events (from anything, like text conversations, flyers, emails, etc)

Under the hood is OCR for the screenshot text and GPT to extract event details. https://twitter.com/bryanhpchiang/status/1618371653456760835...

Neat hack!

I primarily use the Vertiq line because I'm dealing with speed of spinning a rotary magnetic bow, and timing a robotic drumming. I don't think Veriq is the right fit for a microscope stage.

They have a new line of closed loop steppers that would be better suited for that type of motion control.

These should provide very smooth and precise position control.

> Yes you do, you do not get to just claim people are racist with no proof. Do you think it's a joke to make this claim? You're certainly treating it pretty nonchalantly.

I didn't say people were racist, I gave a link supporting the idea that tipping is harmful.

See where I said "Even if no racism is involved, somehow!"

Even if a lot of people.. look it doesn't matter for this topic.

> You're talking about taking jobs and money from a specific group of people so you can implement your ideological beliefs that have zero data to back them up.

Mostly I want to get rid of the idea of a tipped minimum, and fix some of the other issues around minimum wage. I don't want to take any jobs away.

> You haven't provided any proof this sort of racial tipping exists but you've certainly provided plenty of proof of wanting implement your own racist ideas to redistribute money from a very specific skin color, while claiming other skin colors are helpless victims.

You're reading a lot of things in my posts that aren't there. I just want all the waiters to get a good paycheck and make tips exceptional. "Pay everyone in the same job at the same tier the same amount" is not redistribution.
Making sure it will behave correctly with that change (which changes the result of the function!) is a macro change - you have to trace the implications all the way through the program.

So a history writer and an anthropologist are going to debate the value of the "Joe Rogan Experience?"

Doesn't seem all that interesting to me. Hopefully others will find it so.

What a stunning project, it's beyond a beginner result. It's polished and fun to play.

Excellent work!
Apparently he did the equivalent work of 500 engineers. Impressive!
We've come to accept that it's an impossible problem at this point. Instead, we're getting good at automatically detecting hardware failures and rapidly restarting runs on fewer nodes. We're also exploring batch sizes that are (where possible) divisible by N nodes and N-1 nodes. Fault tolerant system design is unfortunately an evergreen topic in CS.
What's SD? No one's said.
They're using it the way I would expect if their only experience with the word was that episode of The West Wing. Which is to say, not correctly.

standalone gear boxes also seem to be really really expensive

what i would really love is a set of compatible gears that work from the same shank and would allow easy construction of 1:2 or 1:4 or 1:8 and i could compose. maybe some 1:1 bevels too
I doubt you'd even need to get a new controller. If the wording in the article about what breaks -- just the port itself -- is accurate, the ports themselves cost a few bucks on a site like DigiKey, and even if you have no experience soldering, you could fix it, working very slowly, carefully, and methodically, over a few hours. (Someone with experience could do it much faster, of course).

Sure, I get that you might be squeamish about opening up a $16,000 device yourself and taking a soldering iron to it, but a port/connector is about as low risk as it gets when you need to repair electronics.

If you don't have a decent soldering iron or any of the related accessories, this "$3k" repair will cost under $100. If you do have one, it will cost you under $10.
An absurd analogy by somebody who obviously doesn't play the piano.

To get to that point, one has to spend a painstaking amount of time perfecting their craft and improving their virtuosity on the instrument, not to mention that everyone adds in their own interpretation and dynamics to a piece.

I can sit down on my Kawai and rattle off the maple leaf rag by Scott Joplin without too much issue, i'm happy to hand John Q. Public the sheet music, but there ain't no way they're playing it.
Very very rough estimate, using inference benchmarks, which can't necessarily be extrapolated to training, but if a A100 takes 6.49 seconds to generate an image, and a EPYC 7352 24-core cpu takes 223.19 seconds[0], that's 34 times slower.

So you would need at least 2,716,796 hours to train on CPU.

A m6a.12xlarge is roughly equivalent to a EPYC 7352 24-core[1], it currently costs
$0.5028 an hour on spot.

So that works out to a cost of $1,366,005.

Everyone's experience is different but on average, tailoring has better results than spam.

I love how everyone just uses the term "sitting president" verbatim now when making this argument, as if the prospect of a president losing their social media accounts is supposed to fill us with dread, sitting or no. It's almost become like a verbal tic.

Everything that president said and did was covered by the press around the world, an army of spokespeople and a million online sycophants. He isn't (and certainly wasn't) "stifled" by the banning of his social media accounts. Really, tech companies bent over backwards to accommodate him, gave him far more slack than they would give you or I. And even then he had to cross the line twice.

Hell, he's still the frontrunner for the Republicans in 2024, and the last anyone heard from him was that he was selling NFTs.

The narrative of Trump being silenced by big tech isn't working, find another one already.
Yeah, not my intent at all.

I understand the psychological effect of termination during the night. But rationally thinking, I don’t find any difference to other forms of termination. For the company though, the prompt termination has a much better security prospect.
